The men of London are bunkering down for a long cold winter.
It had been a bleak, cold, January winter's day in London. There had been hail. There had been hints of sleet and snow. But it was a Thursday night and Japanese brand The Real McCoy's were launching their first retail store in the UK.
Veteran human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell writes about the horrors gay people faced during World War 2
'We must exterminate these [homosexuals] root and branch...We can't permit such danger to the country; the homosexual must be entirely eliminated.'
With these chilling words, the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, set out the Nazi master plan for the sexual cleansing of the Aryan race.
Say happy birthday to the world's most famous gay host with 57 of her best moments
Ellen DeGeneres is going to be 57 on Monday (26 January), so what better time to count down the reasons why we love her?
Amiable and approachable, this Louisiana-born comic and host has managed to change the world for the better. By remaining that fun aunt to the American and international public, she is a force for good when it comes to LGBTI rights.
When DeGeneres came out in 1997, her career could have very easily ended there. And it did, as for a short period of time, she became a national joke.
'The guys on Modern Family are a stereotype but it works for that show – it doesn't mean that every show has to have that'
John Barrowman finally felt like he was not alone.
As he sat on a stage last week with the casts of the superhero TV series Arrow and The Flash, he was one of several openly gay men in a group that also included Wentworth Miller, Victor Garber and creator-producer Greg Berlanti.
'What's lovely is they blind cast – they don't care,' Barrowman said during a chat with Gay Star News after the TV Critics Association panel.
Setting the agenda on LGBTs at the powerful World Economic Forum
Around 2,600 world leaders, CEOs, heads of NGOs, top academics and journalists are on their way to Davos – and this year LGBT issues will be firmly on the agenda.
The annual World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland brings together many of the world's most powerful figures.
The fact lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trans people are now on the radar shows how far we've come.
Missed the debate at the Gay Star Travel Expo? Find out what the most influential worldwide names in gay activism had to say
World leaders in LGBTI rights debated the biggest LGBTI issues at the Gay Star Travel Expo today (17 January).
Veteran human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, Nigerian activist Bisi Alimi and Ugandan gay rights campaigner Edwin Sesange discussed the question: 'Are we winning or losing the fight for LGBTI rights worldwide.
National Aids Trust CEO Deborah Gold chaired the debate.
Alimi began by questioning what 'success' is, saying 14% of young LGBTI people are homeless in the UK.
Missed the debate at the Gay Star Travel Expo? Find out what the biggest gay political names in the UK said about huge issues
The UK's first big political debate of 2015 was on gay rights as the three big parties faced off during the Gay Star Travel Expo today (17 January).
Labour's Lord Michael Cashman, Liberal Democrat's Baroness Liz Barker and Conservative's Crispin Blunt MP answered a variety of questions from the engaged and curious British public.
It was chaired by Gay Star News editor Tris Reid-Smith.
They were asked, in overview, what is Britain's role in global LGBTI rights.
London Collections: Men comes to an end and we bring you the highlights of the final day.
We're feeling our oats, Coco Chanel style, as London Collections: Men, comes to an end.
This is an event that is, without doubt, a bit of a fashion marathon - there are a lot of presentations to attend, events to be at, and people to see (and hopefully be seen by).
We tackle the hard questions and bring you the highlights of day 3 of London Collections: Men
The sun was shining for the start of day three of London Collections: Men. Fuelled up on coffee, I was channelling my inner Miranda Priestly and ready to be impressed by what AW15 had waiting for the fashion world.
London Collections: Men continues and we bring you the highlights of day two.
It was cold, wet, and grey with a blustery wind as the city's followers of fashion faced into day two of London Collections: Men.
Think Stephen Fry is 'creepy'? Think again as we look back on the gay couples who definitely don't mind the (age) gap
So people appear to be a little upset about Stephen Fry, for he is about to marry a man who is 30 years younger than him.
He's been accused of 'cradle snatching' and being 'creepy' while his fiancé Elliott Spencer has been labeled a 'gold digger' and 'fake'.
But who's to say what their relationship is like?
Other gay couples have proved that you can form a real, loving relationship that proves age is just a number.
Some have lasted, and some have not.
Men's fashion hits the catwalk in London
In the dark depths of a London winter, it is easy to get excited by AW15 at London Collections: Men as the UK's menswear designers reveal their vision of what we will all be wearing in the seasons ahead.
The challenge with any major fashion event is that, despite your best intentions, it is impossible to see everything. But armed with a pair of sensible shoes and a willingness to dash madly between venues, I am doing my best to squeeze as much as possible into each day.
Katie Hopkins, you're about to receive an EDUCATION
She's just walked into the Celebrity Big Brother house, but already Michelle Visage is winning the hearts of the British public.
A lover of reality shows and the UK, the RuPaul's Drag Race judge is competing against such 'luminary' names like Perez Hilton, Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson (don't ask) and tattoo model Cami Li (we don't know either).
So in case you need a quick reminder of how ridonkulous she is, we've compiled a list of the many reasons why she should win.
One of our 'honorees,' the Rev. James David Manning, explains why he's certain Starbucks puts male semen in its drinks
It's been a rough year for people who obsess over gay families and couples.
Especially those who profess love for a deity and disgust at everything L,G,B,T,and I.
Their poster boy was called home, RIP Mr Fred Phelps, and the marriage revolution made their arguments punier with each passing day.
Instead of coming up with better ideas, many took steps beyond the real.
The bright, brilliant boys shaping online gay culture, including Tyler Oakley, Troye Sivan and Connor Franta
Gay public figures – they come out so rarely that, when they do, the world could be forgiven for overreacting a little. There's a culture of fear that permeates to this very day.
But a new breed of fearless gay spokesperson has been quietly growing online. A community of so-say 'normal guys', who, between them, reach a daily audience in the hundreds of millions.
Here, we count down seven of the loudest and most passionate gay voices making waves today – and the reasons why you need to follow them too. BAES.
From The Imitation Game to The Normal Heart, it's been quite a year for queer cinema
What constitutes a gay movie? What constitutes a queer movie? Should a film starring a straight man, directed by a straight man, be defined as either?
What about a film starring a straight man as a trans woman? Do films about gay men matter to lesbians, and vice versa? And, perhaps most crucially, is a film featuring homosexual characters, that shies away from same-sex sex, intended for anything but heterosexual consumption?
Poachers kill one elephant every 15 minutes
Two of the largest animals that walk on land – elephants and rhinos – are in crisis. Their very existence in the latter part of the 21st century is in doubt.
In the past three years alone, more than 100,000 elephants have been killed. That's an average of one dead elephant every 15 minutes due to poaching. This figure is in addition to unprecedented habitat loss due to increased human development. In the last century alone, elephants have completely disappeared from three countries in Africa.
Remind yourself of the biggest stories of the year
Brick by brick, it feels like the wall of LGBTI rights across the world is becoming stronger.
For those who believe in equality, rights for LGBTI people is moving at a lightning speed. And for those who don't, it's becoming worse.
But because there are more places that believe gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex people deserve rights, the spotlight is on these homophobic and transphobic places like never before.
If no one cared about the community, the world would never have acted in several ways that could only have happened in 2014.
Praise these people
The golden rule of Christianity is 'Love thy neighbor as thyself'.
Even though Jesus said absolutely nothing about gay people (seriously), and was far more interested in people being good to one another, a lot of people forget that.
Some religious people still continue to use the Bible as a way of propagating their hate, their unease, their ignorance.
But there are some who have realised that you can be both religious and support LGBTI rights.
Coolsculpting – or freezing away fat – got one dancer back on his feet
From an early age, all I wanted to do was perform. I began doing Youth Theatre for a couple of years and then one day I tried my luck at dance. I was completely won over and never looked back.
The challenges for my body and the feeling of music surging through me opened my eyes to a whole new way of living. I enjoyed everything about it and never took a moment to see it as exercise. It just felt right.
This happened in February, and the effects are still being felt today
The Sochi Winter Olympics 2014 will go down in history as the event that made gay rights not just an issue to discuss, but the center of a civil rights firestorm.
Even though it happened in February, the reverberations of the protests are still being felt as we reach the end of the year.
Actor says of his Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks co-star: 'I thought, "How am I going to do this really until I get over my worship of her?"'
Cheyenne Jackson did not have a lot of time to prepare for his leading role in the film Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks which opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday (12 December).
Four days to be exact.
Sean Hayes had to drop out of the film just before production was set to begin in Hungary. Filmmakers contacted the busy Jackson who also appeared in the films Love is Strange and The One I Wrote For You this year.
Australia House hosts the launch of a new work examining the wartime career of Sir Robert Menzies
As you walk down the Strand in London, Australia House is a major landmark. Construction began in 1913 and it was officially opened in 1918 – an incredibly ambitious building project that cost around £1 million – a huge investment and logistical challenge during the international upheaval of World War I.
Come on season seven, let's get sickening!
Realness just got realer, as the queens of RuPaul's Drag Race season 7 have been revealed.
Polished, tucked and beaten for life, these divas are gunning for that crown.
Who will follow last year's champion Bianca Del Rio? Who will be who for this year's Snatch Game? And will all the girls have finally taken at least one sewing lesson?
From what we can tell from the trailer, it's going to be one shady and sickening season.
See what you make of the girls below:
Gay Star News catches up with naked calendar boys during whirlwind three weeks in US promoting campaign against homophobia
Los Angeles has been uncharacteristically wet and rainy this week but that hasn't dampened the spirits of the Warwick Rowers from the United Kingdom.
The British club famous for taking off their clothes to fight homophobia arrived in the US over the weekend for a three week promotional tour for their best selling calendar.

Yes dont ask me or daughter to change the avatar in the near future! Much muttering about hating windows- she has a Mac- but we got there! Tis my bargain of the yr. All of £3.50 reduced price Erysimum & it's flowered it's socks off all this year & still has flowers even now.
Clue re choc too criptic for me today Geoff. Will have a think- I may be gone sometime..... J.
Hi all.
OH & me had a pleasant shop first thing. I cant get my head around how this supermarket can be soo quiet on a Saturday! Has a good stock & loads of room between isles, bliss.
Am employee had much amusement at my expense this morning. OH, of course, had wandered off, in search of light bulbs. I'm standing in front of the bread rolls muttering to self about what someone is likely to need? 'You do know that you're talking to yourself?' says man loading up bread shelves. 'Yes' I replied 'at least I get an answer, if not always sensible!' Both now sniggering!! OH then reappears looking puzzled & asks 'what's funny?' which sets us 2 off even more.......
The 'b' slimey brigade have eaten every one of my sweetpea seedlings so will try again in Spring, as usual!
Now to check out Geoffs & Becks quiz. J.
Ta da!
Welcome back Kate! J.
Jo 4eyes here- have discovered this morning that all of my autumn sown seedlings have been eaten by the slimey brigade whilst in a coldframe!
Oh well, early Spring sowing on the 'to do' list! J.
Dull today, barely no wind.
Was just below feezing, in the back garden at first light today. Now a very balmy (!) 6-7C out there.
Fed the birds & squirrels! Discovered that my autumn sown sweetpea seedlings have been eaten whilst in the coldframe! J.
OMG you lot!!
BTW he's got his own set! Tins that is!
I know that I've not yet sorted my avatar out, depends on how obliging daughter feels over the w/end........ not forgotten though, but by the time it gets done will be spring & OOD!
Have packed in doing the letters for today, only 3 more to do! I decided against a 'round-robin' type this year as cant remember who knew what. Trouble is doing more individual takes for ever!!
Oh heck cant think anymore, night all. J.
I definitely cant type, nor think as fast as you lot tonight.
Cards await! J.
Geoff WE do!! that is me & OH. J.
You see, someone always knows the answer! Norm2 thxs. Will carefully show it to OH, but at least now he's as baffled as me! Over to heating engineer methinks!
Sorry Bjay, thought you knew Frank. Lots of good gardening experience & stories!
Miss B, any 'office' relating to work that could be used on your behalf for the collection? J.
Yep, supposed to take it easy....
Seriously- apparently the valve IS fitted the correct way round after all. OH found the operating instructions, completely turned things off, allowed to cool, then back on....phew, no plumbinmg shenanagins (?) around here needed. Still doesnt explain the boiler though.....
ARGH- have just stopped OH snaffling most of my baking parchment circles & the rest.....come on, leave this house some!! Big argument about needing a certain size for his cake tins & no he couldnt possibly have used that size with my cake tins! Ha, big mistake to argue with me when I know am right!
At least have got his shopping requirements before we get to supermarket- half of 'wants' 'in stock' already. Oh the joys (!) of 2 houses......
I really must do some cards..... J.

Synthetic biology takes on malaria
"There is a concern that synthetic biology is based on the assumption that we can treat DNA like a programmable code," Thomas said. "It has computer metaphors that just don't always play out."
Keasling and other researchers have heard many of those criticisms.
In fact, Keasling said, farmers now growing the sweet wormwood plant will be able to switch to food crops that pay out more money. Instead, he added, it will be the few extractors, who buy the plant's leaves, who will be hurt.
Concerns about safety and science run amok are not unlike those faced by South San Francisco's Genentech Inc. as it pioneered commercial genetic engineering in the late 1970s. But synbio researchers say the environmental and economic benefits outweigh the what-ifs.
"The point of synthetic biology is trust," said Adam Arkin, a professor of bioengineering at UC Berkeley and director of the Synthetic Biology Institute there. "It's about making things trustworthy. The only change is making things easier."
The biotech industry born from the early scientific and political triumphs of Genentech, Amgen Inc. and others has gone on to produce scores of life-saving drugs created by picking a gene here or there and transplanting that into another organism.
Synthetic biology offers the same kind of promise, scientists say.
"There are things to discuss with safety and sociology as economies change," said Arkin, who knows Keasling but was not involved in the artemisinin project. "Those are things you work out with every technology."
Semisynthetic artemisinin is a landmark in the complexity of the synthetic biology process, Arkin said, but it is just one of several synbio projects that are garnering more interest from business. Super-strength synthetic spider silk, which could be used for a variety of products, is a target of a UCSF lab and a San Francisco spinoff called Refactored Materials Inc., for example, and the lab of Stanford University's Drew Endy created a type of computer inside a living cell that could provide a new intra-body disease warning system.

Google's open source search to end
Google has announced that it is closing Google Code Search – the search engine which specifically crawls open source software – on 15 January, 2012. Google says that the closure is part of its current programme to focus on products that people "use two or three times a day".
The closure will see the end of a resource that opened in 2006 to help open source developers who are looking for snippets of code, under particular licenses or as part of a specific package.

2014 was a record-breaking year for Android smartphones Apple may be selling more iPhones than ever before, but 2014 was a record-breaking year for Android too: New analyst figures show that one billion smartphones running Google's mobile OS were shipped over the 12 month period. That's a rise of 30 percent over the previous year and means that 81 percent of the mobile phones shifted in 2014 were running Android. If you're wondering why both iOS and Android can be doing so well simultaneously, it's worth remembering that profits and market share are not the same metric — more devices run Android but Apple is raking in more of the cash. A number of different manufacturers produce Android phones of course, none of whom are doing particularly well at making money from it. | CoreOS 'Rockets' Ahead With Docker Alternative Linux operating system distribution vendor CoreOs aims to expand its own vision for container-based virtualization.

Wedding: 9/5/2010
Beautiful chair covers! delivered on time and set up accordingly.
Wedding: 8/28/2010
Having Concepts provide our chiavari chairs and table linens truly added to the overall feeling of our wedding. The decor added a little extra class to our wedding reception. They have a huge selection to choose from and we were able to find the exact color we were looking for.
Wedding: 9/29/2012
The linens were a bit dingey--I wanted a blush and they almost looked gray. Nonetheless, they still looked "nice" and everyone liked them. The service they provided was also great (customer service-wise). Overall, I would probably cut this expense if I had to do it again.
Wedding: 5/1/2010
Great selection of furniture, very happy with them.

text: Pakistani Taliban to use seminaries for launching attacks: reportApril 11, 2014 - 17:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Pakistani Taliban will coordinate with Islamist activists at major seminaries in or near the capital, Islamabad, to launch attacks if peace talks with the government fail, Reuters reported, citing a police report it obtained. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took power last year promising to end Pakistan's insurgency through negotiations. Talks got going in February but have achieved little. The Pakistani Taliban, allied with but separate from the Afghan Taliban, are fighting to overthrow the government and impose a strict version of Islam on the nuclear-armed nation of 180 million people. They called a ceasefire beginning on March 1 to facilitate the talks but it officially ended on Thursday. It is unclear if the ceasefire will be extended. Police said in the report that two well-known seminaries would support attacks in the capital and its twin city of Rawalpindi if the talks break down and the military moves against Taliban bases in areas bordering Afghanistan. "If talks between the government and the Taliban fail ... like-minded religious seminaries and mosques have been given the target of fully contributing in carrying out attacks," police said in the report, which was prepared last month. Police identified two well-known seminaries, or madrasas, on the outskirts of Islamabad. They said the two had already helped launch several attacks, including a 2009 assault on the army's headquarters in Rawalpindi. One is led by a cleric called Azizur Rehman Hazarvi. It provides "brain washing courses and lessons on sacrificing oneself for jihad", police said in the report. The other is run by Fazlur Rehman Khalil, who is on a U.S. terror watch-list and signed a 1996 fatwa or decree from Osama bin Laden in which he declared war on the United States. At Khalil's seminary, commanders provide "jihadi weapons training classes" to students from the ethnic Pashtun tribal areas which have long been militant recruiting grounds, police said. The two seminaries also host fighters who come to carry out attacks and help with "all last minute preparations", they said. Militant fighters have set themselves up with activists at hardline mosques in Islamabad before. In 2007, more than 100 people were killed when security forces assaulted the Red Mosque in the heart of the capital after well-armed fighters from the tribal areas and followers of the mosque's radical clerics running a Taliban-style movement refused to surrender. Police and government spokesmen declined to comment on the report but security officials who requested not to be identified said the information was correct. One police officer said 20 seminaries in Rawalpindi were being investigated for similar Taliban links. Khalil denied any connection with the Taliban and said his seminary was being threatened by insurgents for being pro-government. "We openly believe that any attacks against Pakistan are wrong and against Islam," Khalil told Reuters. "Ask the police to show me one arrested person who is linked to my seminary." The other cleric identified in the report, Hazarvi, was not available for comment, Reuters said. A member of the Taliban leadership council stated that fighters were present in all major cities and would be "unstoppable" if the talks with the government broke down. "If the government attacks us in the tribal areas, we will kill them in the cities," he said. "By the grace of god, the Taliban today are more united and present everywhere." Top stories "As two neighbors, Iran and Russia have common viewpoints toward political, regional and global issues," Dehghan said. At least 2,500 and possibly up to 5,000 suspects have traveled from Europe to conflicts in Syria and Iraq, Wainwright said. Yet even as Aliyev cultivates the West, he is convinced that foreign-financed organizations, including RFE/RL, are out to get him. Francis urged people to have greater empathy towards family and friends with problems, saying the world "needs tenderness" and warmth.

Business process management is significantly different from ERP. Usually, BPM is used in the daily operations that you need to run your business. ERP is a culmination of providing the system components of consolidating business processes under one umbrella. ERP consists of financials, possibly customer relationship management, inventory control, human resources, or human capital management and payroll, to name a few.
Typically, a company revamps or tunes their business process before an ERP implementation so as to not to contaminate the ERP system with bad processes and data. The business processes are revisited in order to streamline and optimize most or all operations, and these processes are then transferred and intrinsically built into to the ERP. It is very important to investigate how the potential ERP system handles change and or portability of business processes, data and workflows.

DALLAS, Pa., Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Net Agency, Inc. (DNA), a leading performance-based digital agency, today announces its acquisition of Plaid Skirt Marketing, a comprehensive digital marketing agency specializing in branding and social media. The acquisition will elevate the social media capabilities of DNA, which are increasingly critical to SEO, and provide current and future clients with a one-stop digital marketing solution. As part of the acquisition, Plaid Skirt Marketing's president Skip Graham, widely recognized as a pioneer of digital branding and social media marketing, will join the company as Chief Strategy Officer.

"We are incredibly pleased with the acquisition of Plaid Skirt Marketing.

The acquisition will shift DNA from a formerly search-centric firm, to a robust search and digital marketing agency. DNA will gain Plaid Skirt Marketing's digital marketing expertise, particularly in product branding and social media, while expanding Plaid Skirt Marketing's digital platform.
A key element in the acquisition is the appointment of Plaid Skirt Marketing's president Skip Graham as DNA's chief strategy officer. A 20-year marketing veteran and innovator, Graham has helped launch Internet marketing efforts for national brands such as Bali, GlaxoSmithKline, Hanes, Champion, and many others. Graham was a founding partner in one of the world's first digital agencies, now part of Mediaplex, and led program and product development on the industry's first 3rd-party ad serving technology for agencies. Graham currently serves as the Executive Director for the Internet Oldtimers Foundation, whose 500+ members include many of the industry's most senior influencers and decision makers.
"DNA was the perfect fit for us. Their commitment to digital market innovation is matched only by their commitment to their clients," stated Skip Graham, president of Plaid Skirt Marketing. "We look forward to joining DNA and providing the most robust search, social, affiliate, and digital brand solutions to current and future clients."

Nick Lippis, who writes the eponymously named Lippis Report, had a fascinating report on the differences between enterprise and service provider environments with respect to network <something> virtualization.
He observes, through a survey of the ONUG (Open Networking User Group) membership, that what the enterprise needs is Network Service Virtualization (NSV), which he and ONUG define as the virtualization of "enterprise appliances, such as firewalls, load balancers, application accelerators, application delivery controllers, Intrusion Protection Systems, WAN optimizers, call managers, etc., instantiated for each application." (Lippis Report 217: It's Network Service Virtualization in the Enterprise rather than Network Function Virtualization )
This model, which results in a per-application service instance (e.g. "if there are 10 applications that require network services, then each application will be configured with its own instantiation of that service. That is, 10 applications, then 10 NSV firewalls."), is markedly different from the service provider model, network function virtualization (NFV), which instantiates instances based on service needs. For example, a video optimization service may be offered to either application providers or subscribers. Its provisioning and scalability model is based on demand for that service and is not provisioned per-application being optimized.
According to Lippis, "NSV hopes to present significant capex and opex relief from hardware appliances, as well as an efficient way of applying network services to applications without chaining or tagging packets and rapid automated, on-demand application deployment."
This is a goal that's shared by many emerging technologies like SDN and cloud computing.
Service Fabrics Enable NSV
A service fabric enables network service virtualization by decoupling the service platform from the underlying hardware. This is accomplished via virtualization techniques and, when associated with COTS hardware generally means an industry recognized hypervisor. The use of virtualization implies rapid provisioning and the ability to leverage commoditized hardware. This process can be automated and integrated with other systems, enabling capabilities such as auto-scaling and high availability.
A service fabric goes beyond the cost and time savings realized by service virtualization by embracing programmability at the service instantiation layers. The potential risk of a NSV approach without an accompanying automation and orchestration strategy is service sprawl and its negation of cost and time savings by the need to individually configure by hand each service provisioned. If an application is going to have 10 times the services, it's going to have 10 times the configuration needed. The advantage service providers have is that its services are not driven by the application, but rather by the service definition. In the enterprise, a per-application service implies per-service configuration, tailored to the application's unique needs and requirements.
That could complexify the environment. That's not desirable when one of the goals is to reduce costs, because complexity has the opposite effect.
The inclusion of flexible, programmatic control and application service planes can mitigate this potential pitfall. A unified framework with appropriate templates, scripting and APIs along with a strong portal-based management system can result in continued operational savings through automation and orchestration. Such a framework also lays the foundation for IT as a Service (or Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) if you prefer), with the goal of enabling application and business stakeholders the ability to self-service applications through simple, automated provisioning and management portals.
Network Service Virtualization would certainly be a step in the right direction for organizations seeking goals of either SDDC or cloud computing. The abstraction of the resource layer from the service platform and, subsequently, the automation and orchestration of services can create a rapid, cost-effective yet application-driven service infrastructure, ensuring that every application can take advantage of performance, security and reliability services that live at layers 4-7.

By Pat Romanski How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ... Jan. 30, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 4,836 |

Last week you probably heard about Democratic Colorado state Rep. Joe Salazar controversial remarks during a debate on the House floor over a concealed-weapons ban on college campuses. He argued that women do not need guns. He said that women fearing rape may accidentally shoot that gun at others. : He said, "It's why we have call boxes; it's why we have safe zones; it's why we have the whistles – because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop a round at somebody."
The right went: ballistic on him in much the same way the left went ballistic on Todd Akin and his "legitimate: rape" remarks, and Robert Mourdock's remarks about : babies: conceived: in rape. During the Akin and Mourdock's remarks, I remained silent. Mainly because I was too angry to write about it (I've learned to never write when I'm really angry). Part of why I was angry was because the left and the media totally distorted both men's remarks (Mourdock's remarks were especially distorted), and they ignored their apologies. When a liberal says something offensive and apologizes, all is forgiven and forgotten (that is, if the msm even reports on it enough for it to be a real part of the news cycle), but if a conservative says something offensive, then they are dismissed and banned for life for their remarks. Apologies are ignored for the most part. But mostly I was angry because I have a family member, and a friend who have been raped. To use rape for political purposes is beyond the pale. It is wrong on so many levels. Reporters use it to frame questions in such a way to "catch" a candidate saying something that will make them look bad. In Salazar's case, he uses it to promote gun control.
Worst of all, Feminists use rape to promote a political agenda. : Probably the worst example of this is Leslie Marshall, a liberal pundit, who wrote an entire column in U.S. News bashing Todd Akin, claiming that she was raped when she was 19. She writes, "And I should know. I was the victim of rape at 19."
Yet here, on the Sean Hannity Show where she now wants to argue gun control and defend Salazar's remarks, she claims she wasn't a victim of rape, as she did her article, but that at 19 she fought off her would be rapist, and didn't need a gun to do it. She says, "If like me at 19, if you were the victim of an: attempted rape, and I didn't have a gun, and I did fight him off. : You can use self defense tactics if a gun is not at your disposable."
So, when bashing Republican Akin, Marshall says she was raped, but when defending Salazar, she says it was only "attempted: rape," and she fought him off.
This is: despicable. Was she lying about one or both? If she was, then in doing so: she: diminishes: the pain of all women who have suffered rape, by making up her stories to promote whatever political agenda she wishes to at any given moment.
Shame on Leslie Marshal, and shame on anyone who uses rape for political purposes.
