Gadget Guru — NY Daily News — Smart Design
Design team works to make our life easier
By Rachel Wharton
NY Daily News
Jan 30, 2006
Davin Stowell never met a kitchen gadget he couldn't improve.
Stowell – who created CorningWare's famous Grab-It bowl while still in college – is the CEO and founder of Smart Design, a 28-year old design firm in Chelsea. They're the folks behind CorningWare's French White line, Oxo Good Grips and dozens of other tools dotting America's kitchens.
Perched on the 18th floor of Chelsea's Starrett-Lehigh Building (Martha Stewart Living is also a tenant) Smart Design is an inventor's playground: there's a three-dimensional printer, a $50,000 machine that makes nearly any form from nearly any material, and enough saws, drills and lathes, to make a high school shop teacher burn with envy.
But the most important thing in this well-appointed office – at least to cooks – is still the kitchen. "If you really want to solve the problems," says Stowell, who leads a three-office team of 65, "you have to see those problems first-hand."
From Stowell's perspective, great kitchen tools don't just look pretty or last forever – they make cooking easier. And whether you want to improve a pot or potholder, he has found, you start by watching real people use them.
In the world of product development, says Anthony DiBitonto, the company's director of industrial design, this is what is known as "user-centric design."
Take one of Stowell's personal favorite products: Oxo's plastic mixing bowl, fitted with a handle, a pouring spout, and a rubber coated bottom to keep it from skittering across the table while you stir.
Those new features came when Stowell watched his 100-year-old grandmother struggle with her batter bowls while she baked.
But kitchen innovations don't always come in a flash of insight. When Oxo asked Smart Design to improve its potato masher, for example, they had to pinpoint the problem first.
Picking up dozens of mashers in city shops, they watched colleagues, cooks and professional chefs pound away, listening from behind their kitchen two-way mirror or taping the action for later replays.
What they saw was plenty of room for improvement. Potatoes get stuck in the masher's holes, so we have to bang it on the side of the pot. Potatoes also cling to the sides of the pan, so we have to scrape them back with a spatula. And the taller the masher, the less force we can apply.
After a bit more benchmarking – comparing everything from grid size to handle grip ability – the designers then go to work, creating sketches, computerized images and thanks to fancy equipment, samples in metal, plastic or foam. (Sometimes they even sew).
Finally after months of tweaking and a few false starts (like the one they thought would work "like a snowplow," says DiBitonto), Oxo's new masher hit the market.
It's shorter than most, with a horizontal handle, silicone wings and pot-scrapping and plastic-coated holes for non-stick mashing action.
Is it life-changing? Probably not. But it does make mashed potatoes a little easier, a little faster and maybe even a bit cleaner. And when you are trying to get dinner on the table on a weeknight, that's exactly what you need.

The DoSeum is San Antonio's only museum just for children where kids learn by doing, creating and tinkering, instead of just looking and listening.
Tired of the same old crayon and paper activities? Need some "Pop" in your art? Try enjoying the outdoors while creating some exciting art! Grab those old film canisters, water, paint, and some Alka- Seltzer tablets from the medicine cabinet, for a fun open-ended artistic creation.
The DoSeum and the Little Doers preschool are committed to the implementation of research-based and developmentally appropriate practices. In an engaging environment, children learn through appropriate play experiences that encourage active participation in learning. Little Doers introduces children to new and interesting ideas related to play and to exhibits throughout The DoSeum. We allow for children to experience science, technology, engineering, art, and math at an early age in order to spark their interest in real world phenomenon. According to the National Association for the Education of Young Children's position statement on Developmentally Appropriate Practice, open-ended art experiences promote self-regulatory, linguistic, cognitive, and social development (Copple & Bredekamp, 2009).
During "Mad Scientist" week, the Little Doers explored the science behind states of matter. This specific investigation allowed us to observe all three states of matters: Liquid (water and paint), solid (Alka- Seltzer), and gas which is created from combining the two. We used primary colors for our paints so when the colors combined on the paper, they created secondary colors, maybe even tertiary! We asked the Little Doers if they could name the colors and what two colors made a new color. Some observations from the children included, "The yellow mixed with the blue!" "So what color do we have now?" "GREEN!" "The tablet made the paint explode!"
Copple, C., & Bredekamp, S. (2009). Developmentally appropriate practice in early childhood programs: Serving children birth through age 8 (3rd ed.). Washington, DC: National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Hello, my name is Lindsey Payne and I currently serve as a Discovery Leader, Co-Educator of The Little Doers preschool program, and a team member for the Early Childhood Education team at The DoSeum. I have two main life passions: working with animals and working with children. During my youth, my main focus was animals. I attended Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA (I'm a California native), and earned a Bachelor's of Science in Wildlife Conservation. While at Humboldt State, I found my way to a volunteer program called The Y.E.S. House (or Youth Educational Services). Through Y.E.S., I provided services for four years to fostered and adopted youth ages 2-18 providing mentorship and fun weekend activities for the children. Since my time at with the DoSeum, I have enjoyed being a part of camps, weekly programming, after school programming, off site events and now, most importantly The Little Doers.
Hello there, my name is Kathy Jordan and I am a retired special education teacher. At least that's what I said as of June 2014. Eight months after my retirement I began working as a Discovery Leader at The DoSeum and also became part of our Early Childhood team. I come to the team with 29 years as an educator. My educational background includes an Associate of Science Degree in Mental Health and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Applied Studies in Human Behavior and Development. My experience with children began as a volunteer Director of Vacation Bible School at my church in Florida. That involved developing curriculum for 2 to 12 year olds. My experience as a volunteer led me to pursue a full-time career as an educator working with children ages 5 to 12 in an exceptional center in Broward County, Florida. I left retirement thirteen months ago to become part of The DoSeum's mission to grow minds, connect families, and transform communities, and every day since then has been a blessing because of the children

The Sneaky, Slithery Trip
It's been a while since my flight back. Although I've revealed the intention of a vacation in advance, I didn't let the cat out of the bag about the destination until the eleventh hour. So yeah, I flew out to Kuala Lumpur - unwillingly, if I may add - for a couple of weeks to run banking errands and clear the mental exhaustion.
Only a handful of friends in both areas knew about my impending trip. The rest weren't aware of it until I returned to Adelaide. I know I sound sneaky, but I didn't have the extra time to catch up with them over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
Even the ones who knew couldn't meet me in person either.
I wouldn't dare to admit that the flight experience from Adelaide to Kuala Lumpur was an awesome one. Those who are frequent flyers of the international routes would've experienced this: a morning flight would require you to arrive at the airport hours in advance to avoid the peak hour traffic - on the road and at the check-in counters itself. I almost missed my flight last November because both the boarding and Customs took ages, sigh. I'd rather resemble a panda from night flights than to struggle for morning flights and run the risk of being late for the flight.
That, as I recently learnt, has its own issues too. I'll elaborate on that later.
As my cabin luggage was over the limit, extra time was spent repacking - and history almost repeated itself, sigh. At the back of my mind, I knew that the gate for bag drop will close an hour before the flight's departure to allow the airport employees to bring/drive the checked-in luggages over and load it into the plane. It wasn't until the on-ground airport employee - a fellow Malaysian - assured me that the plane will only depart after all checked-in passengers are accounted for that I allowed myself to relax. The reason why there was a large, unexpected crowd stemmed from a large chunk of passengers who bought their tickets at the eleventh hour.
Not to mention, some of them are transiting at KLIA before boarding another flight to their final destination.
I wasn't looking forward to being home unlike last November. It was if my psyche was stuck on Adelaidean soil when the plane left the tarmac. I immediately knew, with a sigh, that it was my brain protesting against the heart's desire to absorb the bright sun and nourishing humidity in KL. With the brain and heart in different places, it was obvious that I blew almost RM 2,400 (about AUD$800 +/-) on the flight ticket for nothing.
But hey, at least we satiated the cravings for Malaysian dishes and caught up with a couple of old friends. If only someone informed me that there would be more rain than sunshine, I wouldn't have packed so much clothing home. You see, I was under the mistaken belief that I'd be soiled with sweat. I'm not looking forward to the last two years of studies because it'll be chaotic and hectic. Most of the courses are intensive or heavy-weighted. I better issue an advance warning to my parents to zone me out when I'm venting through WhatsApp and Skype.
If I thought that the flight to KL wasn't pleasing, my return flight to Adelaide was twice as bad. The check-in process at KLIA was alright - although no one told me beforehand that all passengers are to drop off their luggage in the same area. It should've been dedicated counters for the various flights like in the past. Thank God one of the passengers mentioned that everyone is in the same queue for the bag drop.
Not all of them are Adelaide-bound... some are heading to Melbourne, Saigon, Incheon and Bangkok among other places
Methinks the change must've been the result of cost-saving tactics. MAS, oh, MAS, you could've posted about it on your website or have a notice at the kiosk/queue itself…
Now here's the matter that I insinuated a little earlier in the post. Although the plane landed a little earlier than scheduled, 1/3 of the passengers were forced to wait for nearly an hour at the baggage carousel. When we reconvened there after clearing Customs, only a handful of luggages were there to greet us and it moved at a tortoise's pace - to the point where it was suspicious. I'm not expecting it to be out of the plane at a rabbit's speed because it's done manually, but an explanation at this time would've been helpful.
It wasn't this long last December. 30 minutes was all it took for me to grab my luggage and enter the arrival hall - despite the fact that the bag drop at KLIA was at least 2 1/2 hours earlier. *inserts sighing emoji*
Was it the replacement public holiday in Malaysia that brought the crowd to Adelaide?
Enough of me speaking. I'll let the pictures take over now.
Dosa - a type of pancake-crepe that can also be eaten for dinner. From what I can remember, the batter is made from fermented rice.
The must try drink if/when you visit Malaysia: teh tarik (pulled tea). From what I can remember, it's actually milk tea that is pulled from one cup to another for two reasons: one, to froth the drink (hence the bubbles at the top) and two, to cool the tea to an acceptable drinking temperature.
Steamed crab in Pandamaran, Port Klang
Bak Kut Teh (Pork Rib Soup in English). I've heard that its origins are from Klang, but this dish is available nationwide now.
Need I say more? =P Another national dish (satay) that you need to sample if/when you're in the country.
Bak chang (rice dumplings)
I've more photographs of the food we've sampled in Malaysia, but I didn't want to upload all of them at one go because I'm not in the mood to tempt ya'll with the delectable dishes.

Knowing you study in Adelaide... your title had me thinking "snake!" especially at this time of year!ReplyDeleteReplies
The title was meant to describe me slipping in and out of Malaysia without many people in both countries knowing about it. I wouldn't blame you, though, Yum List. Snakes are such a common occurrence here at this time of the year, especially the eastern brown snake. Yikes!Delete
I have been accused of being sneaky for not meeting up with my friends when I make the Penang-KL drive these days. I'm glad that there's someone "worse" than me wahahaha!!! Yo comrade! Give me 5!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
High five, mate! *winks*Delete
I think it's because you're interstate - and not abroad like me. It's easier to get away with things when you're out of the country, lol. XD I wouldn't mind meeting up with friends, but there's just not enough time for me to deal with everything in KL.
Hi! I hope you are fine and really enjoyed reading your adventures with flights!!ReplyDelete
I know what you mean saying that you didn't have time to meet with all your friends!! I have the same issue when going back to Italy ...and sometimes do it in "secret", too! :)Replies
Nice to see you around, Laura! I wouldn't say that I love flying because the flight times are screwing with my sleep pattern, lol. That's why I like to tell people that I'm back when I'm in the country and able to gauge whether I've enough time to meet everyone or only to run errands. =)Delete
Please refrain from using foul languages - or I'll not hesitate to delete the comment. If you don't see your comments, please inform me about it.

Why did u just the two in the swamp without even asking i built my account to to able to acess higher monsters with better drops faster and shamans were one monster i liked to kill. Shamans are a dificult monster to kill with unusual mechanics and since they have been made so much harder to kill. With this update i feel like their drop table needs to be vastly improved, in my opinion they are much more harder to kill than many bosses without the safe spot and the drop table does not reflect this at all. 14-Jul-2017 11:12:10

I love coffee and this joke/comic made me laugh so I thought I would share it. Enjoy.Where's all the coffee? We were mugged!
My friends and family are always sending me emails of cute and funny pictures. I see a lot of cute and funny pictures on Facebook and other sites on the internet. After years of just enjoying them I have decided to share them so everyone can get a smile, chuckle or even a giggle when they need one. Please note – I do not know who took the pictures, or worked on Photoshop to create them. I just enjoy them and am sharing them.

Ruth's Review
Amazing Transformation!
McLaughlin Landscape Construction completely re-designed our backyard. They took a weed infested lawn surrounded by an ugly brick wall and turned it into a beautiful, useful space with custom "spool"/w waterfall, (huge jacuzzi), built in BBQ with counter island for seating, large fire-pit surrounded by rock bench seating, pavers & tile accents.... all topped off w/lush plants and beautiful palm trees. We loved the backyard so much we had them remodel our front yard as well. I highly recommend McLaughlin Landscape-their designs are excellent, their manner of work is professional and impeccable.

Create your own moonshine and you will be sure of taking pleasure in your own alcohol with a special taste. However it isn't that easy to produce your own moonshine. And it's also an art which takes a lot of your time and one needs to practice before coming up with a great batch of moonshine that can market. Right through history, people have used various methods of making moonshine in your own home. Special ingredients as well as methods have been used in order to get a particular taste.
Many bootleggers and moonshiners have used signal phrases once they discuss making moonshine in your own home. This really is certainly because they wished to be secretive about this and avoid the law. The reason being a bootlegger was someone who sold illegal whiskey as well as the one who made the alcohol illegally was the moonshiner. Moonshine is also called corn alcohol, sugars whiskey, tiger�s sweat, white lightening, popskull, alley bourbon, skull cracker, panther�s breath, city gin, happy sally, blue john, ruckus juice, mule kick and so on.
Make your own moonshine by using the basic things that tend to be sugar, corn meal, drinking water, yeast as well as malt. These components must be mixed in a large container. This particular blend is called �mash�. Proceed the mash into a still with regard to fermentation. The warmth of this blend will determine the time of fermentation. Heat it until it is at 173 degrees. A definite dark fluid will be produced. Attention ought to be directed at the process at this time.
Using a coil or pipe, trap the vapor which should be moved into another pot. The actual condensation of the vapor is actually moonshine which is ready to be sold or even consumed. The residual mash or �slop� in the pot may be used again to produce much more moonshine after including water, sugar, malt and corn meal to it. This process can be repetitive 8 times prior to changing the actual mash.
Help to make your own moonshine using a DO-IT-YOURSELF method. It is very vital that you very first examine the national, federal, state and also local statutes so you won't be breaking any regulation by building your personal moonshine still to make your own drink. The majority of the states in the country stop the creating of alcohol that exceed specific evidence therefore stay within the laws and also you won�t get into any kind of difficulty.
Make your personal moonshine still by using the subsequent: An old steamer having a lid or a crock container; copper pipe that is about five feet long, some carpentry tools, big milk container (plastic) with lid, storage space pot, some water-resistant sealant, coffee filters, charcoal and a great moonshine formula.
Drill the crock container cover and feed an end of the copper tube into it. Fasten the lid to the big milk container and create a large hole into which you can feed ice through into the container. Create a hole within the bottle cover and give food to the tube involved with it and out from the side close to 2 inches from the underside. Ensure that the end of the tube goes into the storage space pot in which you need to store the home made liquor you brew. Fill in the spaces where the tube goes into the lids with water-resistant sealant. Fill up the actual pot using the ingredients and around two thirds of the bottle with ice. Cook the blend at a heat of around 175 to 200 F.
Create your own moonshine through monitoring the actual distilling process carefully and adding ice cubes to the jar through the process so that there's no burning of the plastic material. Sample your own moonshine from time to time.

Last Friday, new iPads were distributed to Marshall Simonds' sixth graders as part of the school's 1:1 program. Students were eager to use the new devices and teachers put them straight to use in class. Teachers across all subject areas put different apps to different uses, with apps such as Notability, Explain Everything, and Google Drive apps being among the most popular.
The way that the iPads are used in class vary from teacher-to-teacher. Barbara Sturtevant, a sixth grade Geography teacher has her students use the iPads to take photos of five different locations around the school as part of a project. Students will then collaborate and use these photos to show and describe common themes found throughout the building. Jennifer Tate, a sixth grade math teacher, has students solve equations using their iPads to show and explain their work. She also uses her own iPad to airplay problems onto the projector screen. In an effort to minimize paper use, many teachers have students complete warm-up exercises, tests, and even group projects using their iPads. How students use the iPads in class is a decision that is ultimately left up to their Team's teachers.

- kmkhushi mehatahired The Tank Design Studio5.0
We needed to find a solution for our new creative project. An old friend of mine recommended trying The Tank Digital Studio - I've always hosted my websites with GoDaddy or HostGator in the past. I have to say that I am really pleasantly surprised with the service we have got from The Tank Digital Studio. To be honest, I hadn't heard of the company until a short time ago but their customer support team have been instrumental in helping us deploy our project and ensuring it reaches our customers quickly. Very happy with The Tank Digital Studio and will be using the hosting for a new ecommerce project at some point next month. Khushi-web developer
- sgsairaj guruhired The Tank Design Studio5.0
The Tank Digital Studio is one of the best hosting companies I have tried and here a couple of reasons why I think that. For the low price you can get unlimited domain hosting, Storage, File Transfer, and E-mail Accounts. This make it great for a small business which needs plenty of all of those. The support are good but for me it took a very long time to start chatting. but everything else is perfect I would recommend this to my friends because of the low price, The Tank Digital Studio is an excellent host.

The National Stationery Show
June 05, 2014
Whew! I feel like I'm still recovering from our week in NYC. Gina, Sarah and I made the trip to New York for our debut at the National Stationery Show. We are SO over the moon about the experience. We learned so much, met a ton of great retailers (MANY of whom will be carrying our line very soon!) and took home the Best New Product award in the Desktop category! Here are a few (ok, a lot) pics from my iPhone and from Ruthie Eileen who was there shooting for Southern Weddings with Nicole Yang (their full recap of NSS will be up soon!) The Javits – where NSS is held every year – has super strange lighting. Ruthie's are all the pretty images. My iPhone shot all the rest, haha! We arrived to blank white walls (and a gorgeous white floor) and a pile of boxes… two days later our little home away from home was complete! It was a ton of work getting ready (and getting it all there) but I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out.
We also had the super fun opportunity to talk with Mindy Lockard (@TheGraciousGirl) and Stationery Trends for a #KenroCam interview!
Thanks again everyone who came by! Til next year, NYC! xo, Emily

"The time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the possible Dream"
Sheryl Sandberg
Feminist Approach To Technology ( FAT ) is one of the few organisation in India that are living by Facebook COO Sheryl's words with all its spirit and we at Steam Labs are glad that we could be a part of their journey to empower girls and women in technology.
We got this opportunity on the Sunday after Diwali – 22nd October. A group of 40 girls, with two of their instructors – Ms. Garima Khurana and Ms. Neelima Sharma and their in-house photographer and one of the seniors at FAT – Ms. Jyoti Arya, arrived at Steam Labs, Gurgaon facility with hopes in eyes, smiles on their faces and full of excitement to build their first Robot. We were told that they had been waiting for almost a month for this day since, their instructor first told them about us. So we had a lot of expectations to live up to.
We talked about basics of electricity to electronics, circuit building to mechanics and finally Robots. One of the girl had an interesting insight that any machine that can work autonomously that is to say without much human intervention can be called a Robot. Right On! this is what we believe, that Robots doesn't necessarily have to conform with society's idea of what a Robot needs to look like and can be made from virtually anything, even waste material. What qualifies it as a Robot is only its ability to do a work autonomously. In this case, we wanted to make our Robot from a paper cup, a motor and some batteries which could eventually draw when it moves.Gallery not found.
The girls started making their Robots with each one bringing their creativity to the table. We had such a huge variety of designs of Robots from each table that it was difficult to choose a favourite. Some had 3 legs while some had 8. Some had moustaches as big as Nathu Lal while others had nose as big or even sometimes bigger than Pinocchio but all had one thing in common that they were an expression of their maker's creativity.Gallery not found.
Since, it was the Diwali season and this time around sale of crackers was ban to put a check on City's pollution, we thought of making some eco-friendly rockets which do not create noise or air pollution and launching them with the leftover bottles of our soft drinks. So we got to task, and assembled some PVC Pipes to become our eco-friendly rocket launchers.Gallery not found.
We had a little competition to see whose rocket goes the farthest. The girls came in pairs while others cheered them on (I guess we did make some noise pollution :D) . Sometimes it was a competition of weight vs technique, but its fair to say that technique won.
At the end of this post, I would like to add that Empowering women can lead us to an Empowered Nation and these girls just need a free space to spread their wings and fly and FAT is doing a wonderful job to help these girls fly towards a better future and we thank them for giving us this opportunity. Hope we could engage in another fun filled day of learning and adventure with them.

The Inner Wheel Club of Morpeth has had a busy start to the New Year.
President Michelle Nelson held a lovely luncheon to celebrate the World Inner Wheel Day at her home. Members enjoyed a variety of soups and puddings, and in return brought gifts of toiletries to distribute to our local refuge home.
Also in January, the Rotary Club of Morpeth held its Annual Quiz Competition at the Golf Club and four teams took part.
The Inner Wheel team came a close second to the winning Soroptimists, but beat both the Rotarian and Lions' teams.
Also in January, the club enjoyed a light-hearted talk from its President's husband Captain Ray Nelson about his early experiences as a young naval cadet when he joined the Merchant Navy as a 15-year-old.
This talk was followed at the February meeting with another sea-going tale. Mr Stephen Healy gave an excellent talk about the life of Lord Collingwood. Although Collingwood spent only short breaks in Morpeth, he obviously loved the town and its surroundings. Mr Healy quoted many extracts from Lord Collingwood's letters and diaries.
It was surprising to hear that our Clock Tower had once served as a jail and his two young daughters would have to pass there often on their way home. Although he was based in Plymouth, he still chose Morpeth as his home.
Sadly, after 44 years at sea, he died on his journey home after not seeing his family for seven years.
Mrs Iona Gott gave the vote of thanks and pointed out that the talk on Lord Collingwood's life had been preceded by our very own local Captain Nelson's.

Oh how the world has changed. Every day, the barrier between genders becomes smaller and smaller until one day, we'll no longer have a concept of gender and we'll all just be "human beings". Imagine that.
Long gone are the days when only men were allowed to be domestically abusing drunk assholes, and no longer are women the only gender allowed to use their looks to live on an older person's wealth. What a time to be alive. Gender equality has almost been reached people, just keep pushing a little further!
Let me help with the pushing. Ever since Caitlyn Jenner effectively proved men are better at being women than women, let's take a closer look into this phenomenon and list some drag queens that are hotter than your girlfriend. Yours, not mine. It's for gender equality.
Farrah Moan
Imagine being a drag queen in Texas. Farrah's got that covered.
Joey Santolini has African American, Italian and Vietnamese roots. No wonder he/she looks so exotic!
Miss Fame
Kurtis Dam-Mikkelsen (no relation to Mads), has an Instagram following of 640-something thousand people. Can we just take a moment to reflect on ourselves as a society that Instagram followers are used as a measure of relevance?
Violet Chachki
Also known as Paul Jason Dardo, Violet starred on RuPaul's (see below) Drag Race and won the seventh season. I'm not sure if it's an actual race where the drag queens run a few laps on high heels. I should've done more research, but I'm scared.
Courtney Act
Shane Jenek is an Australian drag queen. You know, the country of Hugh Jackman, the Hemsworth brothers, Heath Ledger, …
Willam Belli
Willam has no stage name. I get that. It's hard enough to remember one name, imagine having to swap between two. Such a hassle!
Valentina is from Los Angeles and is named after Mexican hot sauce. My drag name would totally be "Ketchup".
Naysha Lopez
Fabian Rodriguez was booted out of the drag race pretty early, but has still remained positive about the entire experience. That's very Naysha (HA!) of him!
Matthew James Lent, known as Pearl, grew up in Florida. He describes Pearl as a "Stepford wife robot bitch."
Manila Luzon
Manila – Karl Westerberg during office hours – named herself after the Philippines' capital city and their biggest island. His/her mother was born in the Philippines, so it's a nice tribute to an undoubtedly special lady.
April Carrion
April, sometimes Jason, is a gorgeous drag queen that sadly had a very bad youth. His alcoholic father had a hard time accepting his 3 gay sons, so kudos to him for turning that into something good and making a life for himself.
This drag queen is so popular, there's actually been a reddit thread to ask why she hasn't been on that high heel lap racing thing RuPaul does. A REDDIT THREAD!
Pretty sure somewhere in the Bible it says "thou shalt not dress like the opposite gender". The Catholics aren't exactly known for being open-minded.
Derrick Barry
Derrick is a Britney Spears impersonator. He's not a method actor though – back in 2007 he didn't shave his head and he didn't have a mental breakdown. I'll have to deduct points for that.
Apparently, this guy/gal is the most known drag queen in the world.

Prosecutorial Misconduct Reaches Epidemic Proportions
In February 2010, the Justice Department published a long-awaited report prepared by its Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) that found former Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) attorneys John Yoo and Jay Bybee had engaged in professional misconduct by authoring two memorandums in 2002 and 2003 justifying the use of torture in the crackdown on suspected terrorists in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
A full 260 pages long, the OPR report is formally titled the "Investigation into the Office of Legal Counsel's Memoranda Concerning Issues Relating to the Central Intelligence Agency's Use of 'Enhanced Interrogation Techniques' on Suspected Terrorists." Completed in July 2009, it concluded that Yoo and Bybee had failed to provide the George W. Bush administration, for which the torture memos had been written, with the "thorough, candid, and objective" legal analysis that is incumbent upon all lawyers working in the OLC. The report recommended that Yoo and Bybee be referred to their respective state bar associations to face disciplinary actions against their licenses to practice law. At the time, Bybee was a member of the District of Columbia bar, while Yoo was licensed in Pennsylvania.
Neither man, however, was ever referred for sanctions.
On the same day the Justice Department released the OPR's report, it also disclosed a 69-page memo written by Associate Deputy Attorney General David Margolis that absolved Yoo and Bybee of misconduct. A career prosecutor who died in 2016, Margolis had been assigned since the 1990s to review adverse OPR findings entered against wayward Justice Department lawyers. Margolis determined that while the torture memos, which approved such brutal tactics as waterboarding, were "flawed," they did not in the "context" of the nation's post 9/11 emergency cross the line into formal misconduct or exhibit bad faith in violation of international human rights standards.
Today, Yoo is a tenured professor at the University of California School of Law at Berkeley. He holds an endowed chair, and teaches in the school's program on public law and policy.
Bybee is a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. He was nominated to the bench by Bush in 2002. His appointment was confirmed by the Senate in 2003, well before the torture memos were made public, by a vote of 74-19.
If Yoo and Bybee's transgressions were merely isolated instances of misconduct, they would have been bad enough. But they weren't isolated.
Nor is prosecutorial misconduct confined to high-level federal lawyers responsible for setting the nation's legal agenda. To the contrary, prosecutorial misconduct is endemic to nearly all jurisdictions of the American legal system. According to some observers, misconduct across the country has reached epidemic proportions.
Most often prosecutorial misconduct occurs at the state level in ordinary criminal cases. And it can take many forms—from the withholding of exculpatory evidence and overcharging defendants with more offenses than warranted to the destruction of evidence, subornation of perjury from government witnesses and pressuring defense witnesses not to testify.
A study conducted by the Innocence Project of more than 4,000 cases decided by California appellate courts and the 9th Circuit from 1997 to 2009 found that prosecutorial misconduct had occurred 707 times, an average of more than once per week. Of the 707, however, only 159 guilty verdicts, about 20 percent, were reversed.
Even more tellingly, the Innocence Project found that of the 4,741 public disciplinary actions reported by the California State Bar during the same time period, only 10 involved prosecutors, and a scant six of those concerned misconduct committed during a criminal trial. No prosecutors were criminally charged for their misdeeds.
The project's study did not examine misconduct committed in cases that were plea-bargained rather than taken to trial. Since some 97 percent of criminal cases are pleaded out, the study only scraped the surface of the misconduct epidemic.
Similar conclusions have been reached about misconduct in other jurisdictions by other researchers and news outlets. Among the most prominent are the compilations put together by:
● USA Today, which focused on 201 cases tried nationally in federal courts between 1997 and 2010 in which appellate judges later determined that some kind of prosecutorial conduct had taken place. The survey found that only one Justice Department prosecutor had been temporarily disbarred in all the cases reviewed.
● The Chicago Tribune, which examined 11,000 cases from around the U.S. from 1963 to 1999. Of this total, appellate courts reversed convictions in 381 cases, including 67 death penalty judgments. Yet not a single state disciplinary agency publicly sanctioned a single government lawyer.
● The Liman Prosecutorial Misconduct Research Project of Yale University, which in 2011 published the results of a detailed investigation of the ethical rules and disciplinary practices of all 50 states. All were found sorely lacking for holding prosecutors accountable.
From a legal standpoint, the Supreme Court bears a good deal of responsibility for the giant pass that prosecutors are given in our courts as a result of its ruling in the landmark 1976 case Imbler v. Pachtman.
Following his conviction of first-degree murder in Los Angeles, Paul Imbler filed a federal damages lawsuit under Title 42, section 1983, of the United States Code after newly discovered evidence revealed that the prosecutor, Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Richard Pachtman, had knowingly used false testimony against Imbler at trial.
Section 1983 lawsuits are the principal means that wrongly convicted defendants and those subjected to false arrests use to sue state and local police in federal court for violating their constitutional rights. The key issue on Imbler's appeal was whether the Supreme Court would extend section 1983 suits to state and local prosecutors as well as police.
The Supreme Court declined to do so. Instead, in an opinion authored by Justice Lewis Powell, the court unanimously held that prosecutors should be shielded with absolute immunity from section 1983 damage actions.
Although Powell recognized the awesome power prosecutors exercise, noting that they "stand perhaps unique, among officials whose acts could deprive persons of constitutional rights," he insisted absolute immunity was required to protect them from the floodgate of litigation that might be initiated by disgruntled criminal defendants and arrestees.
As I have noted in this column before, prior to joining the Supreme Court, Powell wrote a historically important memo on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that urged the business community to become more proactive in its use of litigation to counteract the impact of progressive legal groups like the NAACP and the ACLU.
In his Imbler opinion, Powell recognized the potential chilling effect that absolute immunity would have on efforts to hold prosecutors accountable for their misdeeds. To mitigate that impact, he reasoned, in language that seems even more cynical and clueless today than in 1976, that truly bad prosecutors who willfully violate constitutional rights could be prosecuted criminally, or otherwise subjected to state bar discipline.
Last year, the Supreme Court closed yet another door for holding prosecutors accountable in a case dealing with civil damage actions against federal prosecutors—Ziglar v. Abbasi.
The Ziglar litigation was brought by the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of six men of Arab and South Asian descent who were arrested in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and subsequently held and abused in a federal facility in Brooklyn for up to six months before being deported. The CCR sought to hold former Attorney General John Ashcroft and former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III, among other officials, liable for the plaintiffs' extended detention and mistreatment.
The litigation dragged on for years with the Justice Department seeking to dismiss the complaint, and the CCR contending the case should proceed under the authority of the Supreme Court's 1971 decision in Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents, which recognized the propriety of civil damages actions against federal law enforcement agents for Fourth Amendment violations.
Finally, in a fractured 4-2 decision in the Ziglar case issued last July (in which newly appointed Justice Neil Gorsuch did not participate, and from which Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan recused themselves), the court declined to extend the Bivens remedy to federal supervisory personnel like Ashcroft and Mueller, particularly when the conduct complained of took place during a time of national crisis.
When Imbler and Ziglar are combined with laws in place throughout the country that immunize prosecutors against civil damage suits brought in state court, it's hard to imagine putting an end to the misconduct epidemic.
Still, there are some corrective steps that can and should be taken.
First, states could follow the lead of California and get serious about criminally prosecuting bad prosecutors. In 2016, California enacted legislation making it a felony for prosecutors to knowingly withhold or falsify evidence.
In addition, state bar associations could adopt tougher disciplinary standards on prosecutorial misconduct. Last year, the State Bar of California amended its rules of professional responsibility to enhance disciplinary actions against prosecutors who withhold exculpatory material from defense attorneys.
The voting public can also act by electing district attorneys committed to changing the win-at-all-costs cultures that exist in many prosecution offices. The people of my home town of Philadelphia did that last November, when, against all odds, they elected longtime anti-police-abuse lawyer Larry Krasner as their new D.A. Krasner has pledged to make justice rather than convictions the highest priority of his tenure.
Finally, the Supreme Court could reverse the Imbler decision, and replace the absolute immunity prosecutors currently enjoy with what is known as "qualified immunity," which would give prosecutors lesser, but still stringent, case-by-case protections from civil liability.
But let's not fool ourselves. Being a prosecutor is hard, high-pressure work, even under the best of circumstances. Lawyers would never join the Justice Department or take a job as a deputy D.A. if they could be hauled into court for every discretionary decision they make. Some protections are warranted.
And let's not fool ourselves either about the essential role prosecutors play in the criminal justice system. Mueller and Ashcroft, for example, may have violated constitutional rights in the backlash against the 9/11 attacks, but as the Justice Department's special counsel today, Mueller is the strongest check we have on the neofascism of the Trump administration.
Without prosecutors—and I say this as a former death penalty defense lawyer—we would have no justice system. The goal, therefore, should be to craft a system that encourages lawful prosecutorial behavior while punishing the worst instances.
We may never eliminate prosecutorial misconduct altogether, but no one should be considered above the law.

It was February of 2004. It rained non-stop that month. I was glad. I wanted my outside to look as depressing as my insides felt. The place was mostly populated by Prop 36 inmates. They had been offered the choice between prison and rehab. This was the easier softer way, but they gave the joint a certain jail vibe. In fact, Boris was grinding down a toothbrush into a shiv on a brick he had found when I moved into my room. "I would use the brick first," I said, "and keep the dental hygiene as back up." He laughed. We introduced ourselves.

I don't know how else to describe it, except to say that as self-aware as I have prided myself on being, the past year has been mostly an exercise in denial and fear and self-loathing. And once it killed or tried to the two things that I love the most that is when I woke up, to a place so lonely it shone, to a silence I hadn't known in a very, very long time, and yet could identify from one of the saddest spaces in my history.
