The Many Facets of Asarah B'Teves
This past Sunday Klal Yisrael fasted. Although to many the only notable aspect of the fast of Asarah B'Teves (the 10th of Teves) is that it's by far the shortest fast day in the Jewish calendar for anyone in the Northern or Western Hemisphere (my heartfelt sympathies to the South Americans, So'Africans, Aussies, and Kiwis), nonetheless there is much more to the Fast of Asarah B'Teves than meets the eye. In fact, Asarah B'Teves has three exceptional characteristics that are not found in (almost) any other fast day.
The reason given for fasting on Asarah B'Teves is that it is the day that the wicked Babylonian king, Nevuchadnetzar, started his siege of Yerushalayim[1], foreshadowing the beginning of the end of the first Beis Hamikdash, which cumulated with its destruction on Tisha B'Av several years later. Therefore, Chazal declared it a public fast, one of four public fast days that memorialize different aspects of the catastrophes and national tragedies associated with the destruction of both Batei HaMikdash[2].
Three Day Fast?
According to the special Selichos prayers said on the fast[3], a unique aspect of Asarah B'Teves is that we are actually fasting for two other days of tragedy as well; the 8th and 9th of Teves. In fact, both the Tur and Shulchan Aruch assert that if possible one should try to fast on all three days[4]. Nevertheless, of the three, only Asarah B'Teves was actually mandated as a public fast day[5].
The 8th of Teves
On the 8th of Teves, King Ptolemy II (285 - 246 B.C.E.) demanded and forced 72 sages separately to translate the Torah into Greek (the Septuagint). Although miracles guided their work and all of the sages made the same slight, but necessary amendments, nevertheless this work is described as "darkness descending on the world for three days", as it was now possible for the uneducated to possess a superficial, and frequently flawed, understanding of the Torah, as well as providing the masses with a mistaken interpretation of true morality[6].
The 9th of Teves
Although several decisors write that the reason for fasting on the 9th of Teves is unknown[7], nonetheless many sources, including the Kol Bo and the Selichos recited on Asarah B'Teves, as well as many later authorities, explain that this is the day that Ezra HaSofer (as well as possibly his partner Nechemiah) died. Ezra, the Gadol HaDor at the beginning of the time of the Second Beis HaMikdash, had a tremendous impact upon the nascent returning Jewish community of Eretz Yisrael. He drastically improved the spiritual state of the Jewish people and established many halachic takanos, many of which still apply today[8]. With his passing, the community started sliding from the great spiritual heights to which Ezra had led them. Additionally, since Ezra was the last of the prophets, his passing signified the end of prophecy. The Sefer HaToda'ah[9] posits that it's possible that "the darkness descended on the world for three days" alludes to the triple woes of these three days: the 8th, 9th, and 10th of Teves.
Fasting on Friday?
Another exclusive characteristic of Asarah B'Teves is that it is the only fast that can fall out on a Friday[10]. This is interesting as there is a whole debate in the Gemara about how to conduct fasts on a Friday, when we also must take kavod Shabbos into account[11], implying that it is a common occurrence. However, according to our calendar, a Friday Fast is only applicable with Asarah B'Teves, and it happens quite infrequently. The last few times Asarah B'Teves fell out on a Friday were in 1996, 2001, and 2010. It is expected to occur next year, 2013; after that, not until 2020. The accepted ruling is that since Asarah B'Teves is a public fast, one must fast the whole day and complete it at nightfall (Tzeis HaKochavim) before making Kiddush[12].
A Shabbos Fast?!
The third and possibly most important attribute of Asarah B'Teves is that according to the AbuDraham, if Asarah B'Teves would potentially fall out on Shabbos, we would all actually be required to fast on Shabbos![13] (Notwithstanding that with our calendar this is an impossibility[14].) He cites proof of this from the words of Yechezkel referring to Asarah B'Teves that the fast was "B'etzem HaYom HaZeh", implying that the fast must always be observed on that exact day, no matter the conflicting occurrence.
This is astounding, as the only fast that halachically takes precedence over Shabbos is Yom Kippur, the only biblically mandated fast. How can one of the Rabbinic minor fasts push off the biblical Shabbos? Additionally, Asarah B'Teves commemorates merely the start of the siege, and not any actual destruction. How can it be considered a more important fast than Tisha B'Av, which commemorates the destruction and loss of both of our Batei HaMikdash? In fact, the Beis Yosef questions this declaration of the AbuDraham, stating that he "does not know how the AbuDraham could know" such a ruling.
Commencement is Catastrophic
Several authorities, including Rav Yonason Eibeschutz and the Bnei Yissaschar[15], understand the AbuDraham's enigmatic statement as similar to the famous Gemara in Taanis (29a) regarding Tisha B'Av. It seems that historically the Beis HaMikdash only started to burn toward the end of the 9th of Av (Tisha B'Av) and actually burned down on the 10th. Yet, Chazal established the fast on the 9th, since Aschalta D'Paranusah Adifa, meaning that the beginning of a tragedy is considered the worst part. Likewise, they maintain, that since the siege on Asarah B'Teves was the commencement of the long chain of tragedies that ended with the Beis HaMikdash in ruins and the Jewish people in exile, its true status belies the common perception of it as a minor fast, and potentially has the ability to push off Shabbos.
The famed Chasam Sofer[16] takes this a step further. He wrote that the reason Chazal established a fast for the siege on Asarah B'Teves, as opposed to every other time Yerushalayim was under siege over the millennia, is that on that day in the Heavenly courtroom it was decided that the Bais HaMikdash was to be destroyed a few years hence. There is a well known Talmudic dictum that any generation in which the Beis HaMikdash has not been rebuilt is as if it has been destroyed again[17]. Therefore, he explains, every Asarah B'Teves the Heavenly court convenes and decrees a new Churban. That is why the fast of Asarah B'Teves, even though it is considered a minor fast, nonetheless has the potential to possibly override Shabbos.
The Rambam famously exhorts us to remember the real meaning underlying a fast day. It's not just a day when we miss our morning coffee! The purpose of fasting is to focus on the spiritual side of the day and use it as catalyst for inspiration towards Teshuva[18]. In this merit may the words of the Navi Zechariah, that the "Fast of the Fourth (month, 17th of Tamuz), the Fast of the Fifth (month, Tisha B'Av), the Fast of the Seventh (month, Tzom Gedalyah), and the Fast of the Tenth (month, Asarah B'Teves), shall be (changed over) for celebration and joy for the household of Yehuda"[19], be fulfilled speedily and in our days.

[2]See Zecharia (Ch.8, 19), Gemara Rosh Hashana 18b, Rambam (Hilchos Taanis Ch.5, 1- 5) and Tur & Shulchan Aruch (O.C. 549 & 550).
[3]See Selicha for Asarah B'Teves that starts with the word Ezkerah.
[6]As told at length in Gemara Megillah 9a. For a slightly different version see Maseches Sofrim Ch. 1, 7 - 8. This quote is found in Megillas Taanis (Ch.13); and cited by the Tur and Shulchan Aruch (O.C. 580). See Sefer HaToda'ah (vol. 1, Ch.8, Chodesh Teves, par. Yom Kasheh) at length.
[7]See Tur & Shulchan Aruch O.C. 580. However, many poskim, including the Ba'er HaGolah (ad loc. 4), Magen Avraham (6), Taz (1; who concludes 'tzarich iyun rav' on the Tur and Shulchan Aruch for not knowing that Ezra HaSofer died on that day), Elyah Rabba (5), Pri Megadim (M.Z. 1), Ba'er Heitiv (6), Mishna Berurah (13), and Kaf Hachaim (20), all cite the Kol Bo (63), BeHa"G (Hilchos Tisha B'Av V'Taanis), or the Selichos of Asarah B'Teves (ibid.) that the tzara on that day is that Ezra HaSofer died. The Aruch Hashulchan (3) diplomatically states that originally they did not know which tragedy occurred on that day to mandate fasting, and afterwards it was revealed that it was due to Ezra HaSofer's passing on that day. Rav Baruch Frankel (author of the Imrei Baruch, in his glosses to Shulchan Aruch O.C. 580) cites several other sources opining different tzaddikim's passing on the 9th of Teves as reason for fasting, including Shimon HaKalphus, and Rav Yosef HaLevi, son of Rav Shmuel HaNaggid. He quotes Sefer HaKabbalah that 'when Rabboseinu HaKadmonim wrote Megillas Taanis and established a fast on the 9th of Teves, they themselves didn't know the reason. Later on, after Rav Yosef HaNaggid assassinated we knew that they foresaw this tragedy with Ruach HaKodesh'. An additional reason for fasting on this day is brought by the Rema in his commentary to Megillas Esther (Mechir Yayin, Ch.2, 16) that this was the day that Esther was forcibly taken to Achashveirosh's palace. Interestingly, some posit (as heard in the name of Rav Moshe Shapiro shlit"a; also found in the Davar B'Ito calendar, 9 Teves) that the real reason for fasting is that the 9th of Teves is the true birthday of 'Oso HaIsh', in whose name myriad Jews over the millennia were r"l murdered.
[8]As found throughout Shas - see for example Bava Kama 82a and Kesuvos 3a.
[9]Sefer HaToda'ah (vol. 1, Ch. 8, Chodesh Teves, end par. Yom Kasheh).
[10]See AbuDraham (Hilchos Taanis), Magen Avraham (550, 4), Aruch Hashulchan (ad loc. end 2), and Mishna Berura (ad loc. 10).
[11]Eiruvin 41a.
[12]See Shulchan Aruch and Rema (O.C. 249, 4), based on the Rosh (Taanis Ch. 2, 4) and Maharil (Shu"t 33); Magen Avraham (ad loc. 8), Ba'er Heitiv (ad loc. 7), Mishna Berura (ad loc. 21 and Biur Halacha s.v. v'im) and Shu"t Yechaveh Daas (vol. 1, 80).
[13]AbuDraham (Hilchos Taanis), cited with some skeptism by the Beis Yosef (O.C. end 550). Actually this does not seem to be the actual halacha, as other Rishonim, including Rashi (Megillah 5a s.v aval) and the Rambam (Hilchos Taanis Ch. 5, 5) both explicitly state that if Asarah B'Teves falls out on Shabbos then it gets pushed off.
[14]According to our calendar Asarah B'Teves cannot fall out on Shabbos. The AbuDraham (Hilchos Taanis) himself mentions this, as does the Magen Avraham (O.C. 550, 4 & 5). Everyone can easily make this calculation themselves. See Shulchan Aruch (O.C. 128, 2) regarding which days various Roshei Chodosh can fall out on. For the month of Teves, Rosh Chodesh cannot fall out on a Thursday. That means Asarah B'Teves, ten days later, cannot fall out on Shabbos!
[15]Ya'aros Dvash (Vol. 1, Drush 2 for 9 Teves, 32 - 33; see also vol. 2, 191 - 193 s.v. v'hinei yadua), Bnei Yisaschar (Maamrei Chodesh Kislev/ Teves 14, 1), and Shu"t Shoel U'meishiv (vol. 3, 179). The Chasam Sofer (Toras Moshe, Parshas Vayigash pg. 40b s.v. vad"z) also cites this reason and explains that it is only at the end of a tragedy when salvation has a chance to sprout. We see this from the famous Gemara at the end of Makkos (24a - b) with Rabbi Akiva, who laughed when he saw foxes wandering through the ruins of the Beis HaMikdash. Only when a tragedy is complete can there be a glimmer of hope for the future redemption. See also sefer Siach Yitzchak (pg. 293) and R' Moshe Chaim Leitner's sefer Tzom Ha'Asiri at length.
[16]Toras Moshe (vol. 2, Parshas Vayikra, Drush for 7 Adar, pg. 9b - 10a, s.v. kasuv).
[17]Yerushalmi Yoma (Ch.1, 1, 6a).
[18]Rambam (Hilchos Ta'anis Ch.5, 1); See also Mishna Berura (549, 1).
[19]Zecharia (Ch.8, 19).

Here's 25 essential historical novels set in New York City. Help me expand the list to 50 titles!
Historical fiction novels set in New York City are more popular today than ever before. My list below reflects both old classics and newer releases, literary fiction and genre. To make the list, the book had to be written in the past 100 hundred years and reflect on an era of New York City 20-30 years before the book's publication.
There's even a couple pure fantasy books on this list; after all, aren't they all somewhat fantasy to some extent?
But I know this is an imperfect list. All of the books in the list above are fantastic, but this is far from comprehensive. I need your help to make it better! I'd like to expand this to an Essential 50 list, using your suggestions.
Is there a glaring omission? Any recent historical fictions that are begging for inclusion? Please give me your suggestions in the notes below, on the Bowery Boys Facebook page, or via email (email@example.com).
Note I'm distinguishing between regular novels (written from the perspective of the present or recent past) and New York City historical novels (which specifically use the past as a plot element and are set back at least 20-25 years). For instance, The Great Gatsby and Catcher In The Rye are classic New York books, but I don't consider them historical fiction, as they are set in or near the period in which they were written. There will be other lists in coming months to include any books this parameter might leave out.
I'll take all the suggestions, narrow them down to 25 and add them to this list to make a definitive recommended reading list next week. (For an idea of what this will look like, check out 50 Favorite New York City History Books Chosen By Bowery Boys and Readers from last month.)
Thanks for your help and happy reading!

Daddy was a Numbers Runner by Louise MeriweatherReplyDelete
This may be stretching the definition of historical fiction and entering the realm of fantasy (though no more so than Fortress of Solitude), but The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay?ReplyDelete
Great list!
All-of-a-Kind Family by Sydney Taylor (children's book)ReplyDelete
The Amazing Adventure of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon would be a fantastic addition! I recently read it and absolutely loved it. (Although it was published in 2000 with the plot starting in 1939 and spanning a few decades, so I'm not sure it meets your criteria)ReplyDelete
◦ Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote (written in late '50's set in 1940's. Maybe this belongs to the The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye category.)ReplyDelete
◦ Underworld, Don Delillo (homeboy, represent)
◦ The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Michael Chabon
◦ Ten Thousand Saints, by Eleanor Henderson (recent--2011--set in the 1980's)
◦ Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates (written in 1961 but set in the NY in the 1950s. Maybe this too belongs in the The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye category)
◦ The Godfather, Mario Puzo (written in the 1960's, set in mid 1940's - mid '50's)
◦ The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen
◦ Last Days of Summer, Steve Kluger (40's Brooklyn, published 1990s)
◦ Zone One by Colson Whitehead (future(ical) fiction?)
◦ I know she's already represented, but Edith Wharton's Old New York
Great books and selection, nonetheless.
What a great selection of novels to evoke historical New York. Such a great way to get to a city! Thank you.ReplyDelete
Ah, too bad, you've already got Jack Finney's "Time and Again". That's the one I was going to suggest.ReplyDelete
Two Brooklyn-centric choices which I recommend:ReplyDelete
"The Pale Blonde of Sands Street" by William Chapman White and "The Amboy Dukes" by Irving Shulman. Both books are set in neighborhoods (Brownsville and the Navy Yard) which have completely changed since they were written; and, they offer excellent glimpses into a long gone past. Neither are "historical" novels per your definition; although, since most people reading your blog have never read either, they can be considered as such if read today.
Nice. I would add Burr by Vidal. Glad that The Gods of Gotham made the list.ReplyDeleteReplies
excellent addition!Delete
Since you are including the semi fictional Time and Again by Jack Finney, you might as well include the sequel From Time To Time. :)ReplyDelete
A recent novel: The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay.ReplyDelete
My first thought was Winter's Tale, but I see you've got that!
Right now I'm also reading The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker. It is set in 1899 in New York City.

I tried Donna Karan's " Cashmere Mist " in a department store & loved it. ( I kept returning to my wrists all day long for another sniff! ) When I saw that O. carried it, I immediately ordered one. It is an EDT ( toilette ); not an EDP ( parfum ). It does not smell the same in EDT form as it does in EDP & it quickly fades too. I give Cashmere Mist in EDT form THREE STARS----( for average. ) While it is does not have a horrible scent; it does not have any staying power either. Lesson Learned: Paying the extra expense for EDP is definitely worth it.
Late last year, I first smelled a sample of Cashmere Mist in one of my magazines. I kept it in my closet and would find myself smelling it from time to time, until the scent faded and I got another magazine sample to replace the old one with. Whenever I was in the department stores, I would look for Cashmere Mist and try a little bit on my hand, making sure I liked it on me just as much as straight from the bottle. Finally, I decided to buy it. I'm so glad I bought it on Overstock, because it is way cheaper here than in the stores and on other online shopping sites. I love it so much that even though I just ordered a second bottle, I am contemplating getting a third one, just to stock up. The scent is light and a bit powdery; not overpowering at all, which is just how I like it. Needless to say, my previous favorite fragrance, which I had been using for the last seven years, has been dethroned. Cashmere Mist is my new favorite scent, and I seriously doubt I'll ever get tired of it.
I absolutely love the way Cashmere Mist smells. However, the scent does not last very long on me and I was disappointed by this. But I still love the scent of this Eau De Toilette Spray.
I love this perfume. I had a sample, so I put it on before I went to bed. When my husband of almost 25 years came to bed he asked my what perfume I had on. I told him Cashmere Mist by Donna Karen. He had me get on my laptop, and order the biggest bottle I could find. The scent is not over bearing, but at the same time people notice the wonderful scent. My teenage son even commented on it. I would recommend Cashmere Mist to anyone. I can also save you some time by telling you that Overstock.com has the best price. Thanks Overstock.com.
I was worried that this perfume might come as a tester. I was happy when it arrived. My worries were for not. I gave this as a gift to my mother and she loves it. I had priviously searched the internet for a cheaper price and I could not find one. Overstock.com came thru for me.
Cashmere Mist has always been one of my favorite fagrances. This was a great value.
good buy, excellent product. sold in other places for XX.XX dlls.
I discovered this lovely scent at**** one day when trying to find my most favorite SJP scent which was no longer available at that store. I asked one of the store clerks to spray it on my arm and she also sprayed it on her arm and when walking thru the store she had 5 people ask her what she was wearing. After telling them she also mentioned that there was only one bottle left and someone had already purchased it. That was me. Since it was no longer available at *** I decided to try **** and there it was. I am delighted to know that I can find it again.
There was barely any smell at all. It didn't last 5 minutes and then I could hardly smell it. I have worn this for years without this issue. A very expensive mistake.
I love this perfume - have been using it for a few years. It is not overwhelming. this is the best price I have ever encountered.

In order to accommodate new students, Huma Arquitectura relied on a horizontal plan of home-styled buildings linked together that can be easily expanded. The interior has been left quite raw, using less materials and creating a minimalist, industrial feeling softened intermittently by stickers.
Play is important at Roldan. To make sure that the students are adequately protected during their recreational periods, Huma joined the edges of some of the delightful green buildings together to create an interior courtyard. Although not all brands of Astroturf are equal, using this as opposed to real grass cuts down on both water use and maintenance.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I appreciate the project's constrictions, however Astroturf lends itself more to the "kitsch" variety, rather than "beautiful". While I would consider myself a purveyor of kitsch, this still lacks … something.
I get the whole "less maintenance and watering" … but what I'm really interested in is the life cycle analysis here. Both water and an immense amount of energy went into that "grass" before it will even arrive on site. Plastic's oil-based origination is enough to grate my nerves.
Maintenance here does include periodic disinfection as Astroturf is not able to naturally break down pathogens as real grass does. So you're looking at a good washing and a routine spray down of a cleanser (which care should be taken into what chemicals are applied, since it is a school) Also, Green Roofs and Living Walls are all about the initial installation, after install, maintenance is minimal, there's no need for "mowing the lawn" or any such action. About the only thing you need to watch for are invasive plants which may take root. And those, you just pull out.
Water can be maintained sustainably as well. It's all about the cycle, which most likely this school may not have been able to afford. However, a simple rain water cache could go a long way.

Music for this presentation features some well-known music presented by The Stage Band: "In the Mood," "White Christmas," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "The Christmas Song," the theme from "M*A*S*H" and "Victory at Sea."
"A Salute to the Armed Forces" will be presented by the concert band with vocals by Vocal Rhapsody from Cleveland State Community College under the direction of Karen Dale. Veterans will be asked to stand and be recognized during the singing of their service song.
The band director said members are honored to have Dr. Jim Burns as the narrator of the performance. He is an accomplished professor, lyricist, composer, actor and singer who currently serves as music director at First United Methodist Church. One particularly moving narration comes during the playing of "The Bells of Christmas" by the Concert Band as Burns reads Longfellow's poem. Other moving narrations are the letters home to friends and family.
Two feature presentations during the performance by the Concert Band are "Black Granite III," a symphonic march by James Hosay, dedicated to the brave men and women whose names are forever engraved in the black granite of the Vietnam Memorial; and "Desert Storm Vanguard" by Phillip Respass, dedicated to the brave men and women who fought for freedom and secured that freedom through operation Desert Storm.
During Erik Morales' "The Red Baron," listen for the aerial dogfight between different instruments in the band. The concert will end with "Prelude to Christmas" featuring several Christmas selections and "An American Spectacular," which features a selection of traditional American tunes.
This is a concert you don't want to miss. The concert is free to the public. Donations will be accepted for the band's trip in June 2013 to Gettysburg to represent Tennessee at the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of The Civil War.
The Greater Cleveland Community Band reaches out to local high schools, colleges and universities and invites those students to participate with the adults who have dusted off their high school instruments to be part of this group.
Many students are able to coordinate their participation with special credits at their respective schools.

Trace the history of the Bay icon from Gold Rush era dreams to the 21st century.
- Meet the engineers charged with keeping this extraordinary structure viable for generations to come.
- For over a decade, MODERN MARVELS has brought grand stories to life.
- The ultimate celebration and investigation of engineering excellence.
Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination brought to life on a grand scale, MODERN MARVELS® tells the fascinating stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who created everyday items, technological breakthroughs and man-made wonders.
From the days of the Gold Rush, there were dreams of linking San Francisco to the East Bay, but the waters of San Francisco Bay seemed too deep, and the distance too great.
MODERN MARVELS® details how, in 1926, California State Highway Engineer Charles C. Purcell was named to make the dream a reality. The solution he came up required anchoring two bridges to a massive support in the middle of the Bay, which itself would be secured to bedrock some 100 feet below the bottom of the Bay. In the decades since, the bridge has weathered earthquakes and the changing demands of a growing region, and remains a vital part of the Bay Area's infrastructure.
MODERN MARVELS® crosses the bridge with the men and women charged with making sure it stays that way for the foreseeable future.

Heading into the final race of this season, Fernando Alonso has revealed that his recent injury and its headaches have left him feeling tired.
The double World Champ suffered back pain and headaches following his 25G impact over the kerbs in Abu Dhabi.
But despite racing with his back taped up, Alonso put his F138 home in fifth place in Sunday's United States GP.
The Spaniard later revealed that he feeling stressed and tired but hoped to recover a bit before the season ending Brazilian GP.
"I'm tired," he old ESPNF1. "I'm tired; also I didn't have good preparation for this race physically. I was one week on the sofa, in bed with headaches.
"The race was demanding, it was not an easy race, I had to fight all the way through so physically I feel tired now. I felt stressed all weekend from all the battles etc.
"Hopefully I can feel a little bit better in Brazil, less tired, enjoy the weekend a little bit more. But there are some targets to do with the Constructors' Championship etc so it's not as if we race for fun in Brazil.
"It might seem like that from the outside - there's nothing more to fight for, you go to Brazil to race and have fun - but there's a lot of stress and a lot of pressure on these weekends for the team and we'll all try to do as well as we can."
Alonso, however, has all but ruled out Ferrari achieving second place in the Constructors' Championship after dropping more points to Mercedes on Sunday.
The Scuderia now trail the Brackley squad by 15 points with Lotus 18 points adrift in fourth place.
"We wanted to close the gap a little bit in the Constructors' Championship; that was the goal. We did not have the pace this weekend to do that and we lost a little bit of points again while Lotus got closer, so not a good weekend in terms of points.
"But there's nothing we can do at the moment, we didn't have the pace, we were too slow all weekend; we fight to be in qualifying three, we fight to be in the points on Sunday.
"So we need to do better in Brazil if we want to fight for the Constructors' Championship or that was too optimistic a goal. We need to be more realistic and know that fighting for second place in the Constructors' Championship was a dream and maybe that dream is difficult to come true."

It absolutely keeps the squirrels off the feeder. Thank goodness someone came up with the wraparound idea!!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
The product arrived bent, plastic tag clipped off in a torn up bag. Easy to assemble, but doesn't set evenly on the pole. So far the squirrel has been 'baffled' and hasn't been able to reach the feeders, but overall I felt the product was overpriced for what I received.

Rated 3 out of 5 by NYCMother cute footed pants, not so convenient for newborns cute product but not great for newborns, as you have to fully take off the pants to chane a diaper as opposed to an onesie. Also a bit too large for a newborn. Very cute for later perhaps. July 17, 2013

Yesterday David Norris and Gary Dobson were found guilty of Stephen Lawrence's racially motivated murder in Eltham in 1993. Today they have been sentenced to life imprisonment – Norris for a minimum of fourteen years and three months, Dobson for a minimum of fifteen years and two months,
I wanted to use this post to reflect on both what the case has meant for me as a police officer about to end my first two years in the job and also a little on what the legacy of the trial ought to mean.
In the wake of the murder, the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, led by Sir Macpherson, branded the Metropolitan Police to be 'institutionally racist'.
The damning conclusions reached by Macpherson suggested that because of racist attitudes within the Met, they had been unable to conduct an effective investigation appropriate to Stephen's murder and that justice had suffered as a result.
A major change in attitudes was clearly needed.
As a direct result of Stephen's death and the campaigning of his family, changes for the better have been achieved and continue to be achieved.
In legal terms visible examples include the overturning of the double jeopardy rule and the passing into law of the Race Relations Amendment Act which places upon public bodies a duty to eliminate discrimination and promote equality.
In terms of police training, much of the legislation we are taught when we first join the job is set against a background of how in the past errors have been made and what the lessons are.
Showing how importantly this consideration – the desire to learn from history so to avoid its repetition – is taken, the first week of the eighteen week course is dedicated to looking at issues surrounding diversity and discrimination.
Past cases are discussed – the Brixton Riots, Toxteth, Lawrence, Climbie, Baby P to name a few – and the learning points discussed so that new officers understand the consequences of previous failings.
One of the most important things I'd taken away from looking at such tragic examples was a stark reminder that when I applied to be a police officer, I didn't apply to offer protection to only some members of society. I didn't apply join a service in which public confidence in ability to do our job varied according to the colour of someone's skin, their background or where they come from.
Appreciations about racist and hate crime of course don't end with the finish of training school and actively permeate throughout the police force, be it in the regular training inputs available or in the practical way in which we tackle crimes involving a hate element.
Hate crimes in particular attract specific attention from specialist evidence review teams whilst cases are still with the police to ensure the highest quality of investigation and then once they reach the courts, a perception of a hate motivation qualifies for the passing of tougher sentences.
As for the legacy of the trial, it's taken eighteen years to bring those responsible to justice. The strain on Stephen's family who had campaigned tirelessly ever since his death is unimaginable and it may be tempting to see the conviction of Norris and Dobson as 'case closed'.
This I think would be the worse possible outcome – Stephen's legacy is something that lives on, that continues as a force for positive change and that is, and always will be, an important lesson on how we police.
As Mark Easton writes on the BBC News website, "Problems still exist but Britain is much more at ease with its racial diversity than it was two decades ago. And that tolerance, in no small part, is the legacy of a teenage boy: Stephen Lawrence."

With a really engaging website that documents the conceptual process for nearly all of their work (yep - all the ups, downs and in-betweens), how could you not 'Love These Guys'?! Experimental Jetset are a three-human design studio out of Amsterdam who are known for their contemporary and conceptual style (and use of sans serif like Helvetica - in fact they even designed the poster for the movie). Their portfolio is massive and a lot of their work is really type-driven. After learning all about typography these past few weeks, I thought they were a rad example of type done well. Really, really, well.
