El Chapo was denied the request to speak in fed court 2 days ago after prosecutors and a US judge agreed on the possibility of El Chapo trying to send Narco Don type "messages to his family," or something shady.

- Moral Rhetoric in the Face of Strategic Weakness October 28, 2014Even people who are inclined to believe in a universal, objective foundation for morality are sometimes prone to the impression that in certain situations invoking "moral" arguments is rather insincere.

- The War for Social Media: The Center is Trying to Diminish Diversity and Control Speech February 15, 2018There's a story we tell about social media. Once upon a time politics wasn't so divided and polarized. But then, social media came along–it let people retreat into bubbles, where they only talked to people who thought as they did. This caused them to get all extreme and nasty. And then the alt-right and the […]Benjamin Studebaker

And after the initial shock wore off, I recognized that the near-unanimous ruling was the right decision.
Speaking of Ike, Brinkley has a canny explanation for why what is now called the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was created during the last days of the Eisenhower administration in 1960, despite near-unanimous opposition from Alaska's politicians.
Even with the stimulus package on the verge of passing later this week, the unanimous GOP vote against the bill in the House and the near-unanimous opposition in the Senate revealed a Republican Party surprisingly united in direction and in message for perhaps the first time since losing its congressional majority in 2006.
Democrats on the Energy and Commerce Committee's subcommittee on energy and power demanded the hearing in the hope of slowing the inexorable progress of the bill, known as the Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011, which enjoys the near-unanimous support of the Republican House majority.

"There appears a near-unanimous consensus among OPEC members that supplies to the market are adequate," the IEA said.
The UN security council finally broke through months of indecision over the bloodshed in Syria on Wednesday night to pass a near-unanimous statement condemning President Bashar al-Assad for unleashing his forces on civilians and violating human rights.

The environmental agency is under order from the Supreme Court to make a determination whether carbon dioxide is a pollutant that endangers public health and welfare, an order that the Bush administration essentially ignored despite near-unanimous belief among agency experts that research points inexorably to such a finding.

But most of his legislative victories have come despite near-unanimous Republican opposition, accompanied by some of the most-heated rhetoric seen in decades.
As McKibben, a tireless advocate for heeding the scientific consensus that global warming is real, caused by humanity, and must be addressed urgently to prevent global catastrophe, notes, "American conservatism has reached a near-unanimous position, and that position is: pay no attention to all those scientists."

Beauty of Granada, Nicaragua
The family and I are on a visa run to Granada, Nicaragua. I cannot get enough of this city and my camera won't stop clicking away at it. The colors, stone, tile, iron, patterns, doors, windows, fountains, cathedrals, and buildings. The details too; faucets, etching in the glass, doorknobs, pottery, archways, sigh…everything. We go on long walks here and I soak in everything. The way the older ladies walk around with ruffled aprons. How the men take their family to and from in a carriage on the back of a horse. Watching all the little families pile on the same bike (they do this in Costa Rica as well).
There is a lot of poverty in Nicaragua but it is surrounded in beauty. Let me show you quite a few snapshots. Get ready this post is going to take awhile to load onto your computer. I tell ya this town would be just a dream for artistic minds, I am sure it already is.

We had an absolutely wonderful time as a family enjoying a small town celebration on the 4th of July in Durango, Colorado. There was so much going on that day throughout the town that we could hardly decide what to do. We finally went out to eat, watched the parade, went to the street dance and listened to music, then watched fireworks from downtown. It was definitely a spectacular fireworks display too. By far the best Durango has put on…ever. Nice job Durango! We were very impressed.
Daniel documented our day of fun as a family.

Blu is THE fabulous clothing boutique in Durango, Colorado.
This was a shoot for their website portfolio and marketing materials. It also showcased the gorgeous Nina and the generations of her family members and their style.
It was fun to work on this with Nina and her Blu girls. She has created a lifestyle following and it is perfect for Durango as she brings a world-traveler vantage point to her boutique. She and her team always showcase beautiful Blu-girls around the world in their athletic and fun endeavors.
Nina is a giver of style, her passion, and her time. She also participates in Richard Branson's Virgin Unite.
Blu's philosophy says it all:
"We are small town fashionistas bringing chic style to the mountains. Contemporary fashion is our trend. Premium denim is our obsession. We play outside. We give back through charity. And we do all this with a glass of wine in hand. Our store is located in the heart of Durango, Colorado and offers only the best for our Blu girls."

While I catch up on blog posts from family sessions from last year through now, I will also be posting snippets of recent sessions and our life.
Over Memorial weekend, Durango is in full swing with the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic along with loads of fun things to do for families.
We decided to take the girls to the carnival and it was a blast.
We had so much fun and Daniel documented the girls and I having fun.

Yay! I am finally getting back to catching up on the blog from where I left off last Summer! I have a lot to catch you up on to say the least.
We have a new logo and wedding website and the wedding season has started along with everything turning green outside! I love it!
I wanted to start by saying hi and how I am excited to make the time to post sessions on here again.
As an artist, I also wanted to express my feelings on how I document families to ensure that all my future clients know what they are getting into with me with real expectations on photographing their family. I want nothing more than to photograph people and the love they share and that want me to capture their real interactions. That is what makes me love this job so much. I want clients I connect with that get what I do for them. I have to say that I do have the absolute BEST clients and am so incredibly grateful for all my past clients. Without them, this journey would not be possible. These images would not be possible. I am still always in awe that families let me come into their lives and document them. It is a huge huge honor. The time I spend with them all will be with my always and a part of my life as well. That is truly special to me.
In this world of fast and mass communication and everyone wanting things now and not fully taking the time to read or grasp what is in front of them, I feel some things get lost in translation. I wanted to explain a little of what I do to capture images for clients based on what I do as an artist. I often get asked by a potential client "I want the feel of that image you took" or "I want what they have in that image or session you took of that family, can you do that with my family?" and I tell them that I don't create the love that is behind the images I capture. I don't create the sweet and tender moments that take place between a family or that loving moment when the mom and dad kiss each other or hug their kids and have the best emotion on their faces or when siblings hug, love and play together; my clients do all that themselves. I can nudge or say to do something, like kiss or hug, but if there is not a piece of real raw emotion or a wanting to show it, I cannot capture it. I don't make those emotions suddenly appear in someone or a family. I CAPTURE it and PHOTOGRAPH the love and raw emotion a family already has and expresses in front of my lens. I cannot make the love, touch or caress that a person gives come off as real and full of emotion if it is given in its truest form. It has to be raw and in the moment for me to document it. Yes, I assist in creating a game plan for what to do in terms of the session and I can tell you to kiss one another or to jump for joy, but I cannot make a family show love, joy, happiness and meaningful glances if they are not expressed in a real manner. Those feelings are created by the clients I am photographing and caught by me through the photographs I take. I cannot express how much a client should want to be photographed and want me to document their life in an honest and emotional manner so that I can fully do my job. My clients are just amazing people that want to be photographed. I love that my clients are real families. The ones where not everything is perfect. Not everything goes as planned. Kids get cranky or weather is not up to par so we wing it. Not everything is posed perfectly. But real life. I want to capture the real touches, glances, hugs, laughter, crying and, of course, fun. I want to capture the real hugs, the long glances, the sweet kisses and the way you would truly hold, talk to and interact with your loved ones. Otherwise I would just get a fake version of the real you and that does not make for real images for you or me. Real moments have stories behind them and that is what I capture in a photograph.
So, come to the session ready to show who your family is and the love, life and fun you have together!! I look forward to all the meaningful moments you want me to document of your family.
Colorado family photographer.

There is nothing better than love. The unconditional love that one can have when a child is brought into your life is unmatched. Little ~T~ is just so sweet. I had the pleasure of documenting him a little after his gotcha day and then again later in the year for holiday photos (*coming to the blog soon*). We just spent some time playing and going to a few of their favorite places to play. The immense love that this family has is just amazing. I adore this family so very much and look forward to seeing him grow up! I am honored to know so many people that have adopted and I am in awe of their limitless love. It is so inspiring. Here are just a few of my favorites.

rattail 0.3a12
Retail Software Framework
Latest Version: 0.9.1
Rattail is a retail software framework based on edbob, and released under the GNU Affero General Public License.
This is the core rattail package.
Please see Rattail's home page for more information.
Install the software with:
$ pip install rattail
Built-in help can be seen with:
$ rattail help
- [bugfix] Fixed foreign key uuid handling in rattail.db.record_changes(). Some tables are meant to be used solely as providers of "association proxy" fields, the uuid column is not only a primary key, but also a foreign key to the "primary" entity table. In such cases, the uuid value was not present at session flush time, so a new one was being generated. Unfortunately this meant that the Change record would point to a nonexistent entity record, so the sync would not work. Now uuid fields are inspected to determine if a foreign key is present, in which case the relationship is traversed and the true uuid value is used.
- [feature] Added "extra classes" configuration for the load-host-data command. This is necessary when initially populating a "store" (er, "non-host") database instance if custom schema extensions are in use (and need to be synchronized with the host).
- Add R49 SIL column.
- Add rattail.pricing module.
- Ignore batch data when recording changes.
- Bump edbob dependency.
- Tweak database sync.
- Tweak batch processing.
- Add Vendor.special_discount.
- Bump edbob dependency.
- Added Store and related models.
- Added Customer.email_preference field.
- Added load-host-data command.
- Added database changes/synchronization framework.
- Fixed batch table create/drop.
- Added Product.cost, Product.vendor.
- Added basic one-up label printing support.
- Added initial batch support, with PrintLabels provider.
- Added GPC data type.
- Changed internal name of file monitor Windows service.
- Added progress support for label printing.
- Label profiles moved from config to database model.
- Removed rattail.db.init_database() function.
- Moved some enum values from db extension to core (rattail.enum module).
- Improved SIL support: moved rattail.sil to subpackage, added Writer class etc.
- Fixed file monitor in Linux.
- Added delete-orphan to Vendor.contacts relationship cascade.
- Update file monitor per changes in edbob.
- Move database extension to subdir (rattail.db.extension).
- Make database extension require auth extension.
- Fix rattail.db.init().
- Add lots of classes to database extension model.
- Add rattail.labels module.
- Add rattail.db.cache module.

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Colossians 4:2
Praying is essential to the Church. If your prayer count is low, or lower than others, please do not take that as a reflection on the priority of your need or the effort of a praying church. Some people pray and never click the button. Some people get our prayer feed via tweet or RSS feed and don't have the opportunity to click the button.
We can assure you, your needs are taken seriously and our church community is constantly lifting up your requests.
I feel so alone and depressed so often. Please pray for me so that God will lift me out of this "pit" I'm in.

Student beats up stranger's car because his vehicle caused him troubleBy Mason White 2:56 PM April 11, 2016
|Car (illustration)
By: Chan Yuan
A university student was arrested after assaulting a car while he was drunk.
Police were called for an altercation between a man and a Ford Taurus on the Winona State University campus in Minnesota.
Winona police said that at 7:40 p.m., officers found Mikhail Igorevich Belenkiy, 19, of Howard Lake, punching, kicking and screaming at a blue Ford Taurus that was parked on King Street.
When asked about his bizarre behavior, Belenkiy told officers that he was upset with his car because it gave him trouble.
Belenkiy was found to be intoxicated. A breathalyzer test showed that he had a .197 blood alcohol content level.
He was cited for underage consumption of alcohol. In addition, police learned that although Belenkiy has a blue Ford Taurus, the vehicle he assaulted did not belong to him.
Belenkiy caused about $1,886 worth of damage to the car, resulting in a felony charge of first-degree criminal damage to property.
