A new runway expansion taking off at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida will soar above U.S. Route 1 and the Florida East Coast Railway Railroad. Part of the $750 million project is a $200 million joint venture between Tutor Perini Corp. and Baker Concrete Construction to design-build two concrete bridges supporting the runway and taxiway.
The bridge deck must be rated to handle a rough landing of a fully loaded 747. "That's what drove the thickness of all the components," says Michael Hernandez, P.E., operations manager for Baker Concrete. "The structure uses 3-foot-thick walls everywhere."
The Tutor Perini Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Venture had to divert U.S. 1 to construct the mammoth structure, which consists of six parallel tunnels using 90,000 cubic yards of cast-in-place concrete and topped with a 500,000 square-foot runway deck.
The joint venture began placing concrete in summer 2012, with the design process staying just a step ahead of construction. "This is not a project where we could just walk in and build a completed design that engineers spent years on," says Hernandez. "We're continuously interfacing with engineers to make sure the construction methods are efficient." Hernandez had little precedent to follow; the only other comparable runway spanning highway and railroad operations opened in 2006 at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
The complex project has many stakeholders, with the airport seeking an economical solution while meeting Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, Florida Department of Transportation, and local government regulations. "At every point we're juggling whose requirements govern what we're doing right now," says Hernandez.

Current Conditions
At the end of September 2016, La Nina conditions are expected during the Northern Hemisphere fall and winter, according to the NOAA. According to NOAA, September 2016 was the second hottest September in the 137 year record at 1.29C above average. In Europe, drought conditions expanded through Central Europe and up to the North Sea. For the second month in a row, the European Union's crop monitoring service lowered the corn yield forecast for this year. In Asia, drought continues throughout central Russia and a ring from the Indian sub-Continent around eastern China and Mongolia. In China, drought in the northwestern Gansu Province led to implementation of the government's level-IV emergency response plan. In Africa, short-term drought eased slightly in the western part of the continent while continuing to strongly impact South Africa. In South Africa, there has been a culling of hippo and buffalo herds due to the poor condition of vegetation. In North America, drought remains entrenched along the western coast as well as through New England and the US Southeast. In the US Northeast, the apple crop has suffered due to the drought with noticeably smaller fruit produced this year. In South America, drought continues in Brazil as well as from the equator down along the Andes. Irrigation water for farms was restricted in Espirito Santo, where rivers were largely dry. In Oceania, drought continued nearly unchanged.

Are you a Beatles fan? I am. Maybe that paints me with a certain brush, but I should say that I'm not a collector. I'm just a guy who likes the band. I've found them musically inspirational. I've listened to them my whole life. But whenever the Beatles come up, all of these popular myths start percolating. These are some of my answers to the most common ones.
Myth one: Yoko Ono Ruined the Beatles.
Yoko Ono is a great and deserving artist completely apart from her relationship with John Lennon. People who say differently usually have a few agendas, like thinking that somehow without her John would have stuck with the band and been happy, or his divisive and difficult relationship with Paul would have been cured. Or, they're outright racists who think that somehow she was somehow subverting her geisha heritage and cashing in with the rock star. If you would like to argue to me about Yoko's negative influence on the Beatles, first prove to me that you have a working understanding of Dada and Fluxus, and then frame your argument without falling back on easy-to-dismiss stereotypes. If the thrust of your argument is "her music sucks" then keep it to yourself. If your argument is "she's ugly"—the most common I've heard—well then. You showed John. Good work.
Myth Two: Linda McCartney ruined Wings
Okay, this is outside the balliwick of what I'm talking about, but despite some embarrassingly bad vocal tracks pulled from live performances, rock music almost always benefits from a little naivte. Good for Paul for sticking to his guns and doing what he wanted, damn the critics. In any case, blaming the women in their lives for ruining the Beatles is to say that they were just whipped little boys who were puppets for the pulling. I honestly think that both of these men, in their day-to-day lives, were probably tremendous pains in the ass to be around—more to each other than to anybody else—but likely to everybody in their lives. Lennon particularly so. In any case, let's give them a little credit to make their own choices about their lives, without second guessing everything they did, and then blaming it all on the women they had the good fortune to love.
Myth Three: A Beatles Reunion would have ruled
A Beatles Reunion would have sucked. Proof? Free As A Bird. Don't get me wrong, I like the song as a cool Beatles-sounding thing by some tribute band, but the one thing you should expect from hearing a Beatles album for the first time is that it won't sound like you expect. It should challenge you and sonically take you somewhere you haven't been yet. Did Free As a Bird do that for you? Secondly, although all of the Beatles at one time or another made good music after the band broke up, I would argue that none of them made great music. This is a matter of taste, obviously, but John's strongest albums suffered from his seriousness, and Paul's suffered from his lack of seriousness. I personally love some of John's solo work very much, but nowhere near as much as I like the Beatles.
Of course, that argument might be rendered null by the fact that the Beatles strength was their interaction. It could be that Lennon and McCartney getting together again would have sparked something. My belief, however, is that a reunion would have required super-human transcendence of their own legend. It would have been double-edged sword. Either they would be the Beatles of old, and satisfy the fans who just want to hear the hits and more hits like them, or they would have been innovators and dissapointing to the fans who want the hits, but potentially exciting to the fans who love the Beatles because of sheer musicianship. Either way they cut one swath of fans. Damned if they do. Best to don't.
Myth Four: Ringo's songs suck.
C'mon—let's hear your best tune in context next to a Lennon/McCartney juggurnaut. Ringo's songs were better than 50% of the guitar-by-numbers crap that was flooding U.S. shores from Britain in those days. His latest album, Choose Love, is actually quite good.
Myth Five: The Beatles were a great live band.
The key word in that myth is "were". When they were rocking the cavern club, or singing to prostitutes and druggies in Germany, yes, they were from all accounts a great live band. But after they stopped touring, and their music got more introspective they became a studio band. Masters of the medium. But what about Let It Be? you might ask. Doesn't that dissprove this point? Well, that might depend on how you feel about Phil Specter. It may hint that they could have owned the stage again, but they didn't. This, of course, ignoring the argument that Let it Be is one of their weakest albums, and essentially was an abandoned project put out by the studio to capitalize on the Beatles breakup and contractual obligations.
But more to the point I'm trying to make is not that the Beatles wouldn't have been good or great live, but that they choose not to be a live band and became a studio band. Let's not forget to give props here to Sir George Martin, who was as much a master of recording technology, composition and music as the Beatles were of crafting pop songs. Pick up his All You Need Is Ears for some good inside-the-studio perspective on the Beatles.
Myth Six: Michael Jackson should have never sold the Beatles music to commercials.
Fact is, the Beatles are a money-making commodity item. Like it or not. They are also, currently, 40 years old. It's fine to argue that art should never be sold for commercial purposes—and actually I agree with that sentiment for the most part—but let's not impose our punk-rock ethos on the Beatles, whom are beloved by millions of people. Fact is, the Beatles at some time or another need to become old and tired to people's ears so that some new partnership may arise—some new Lennon and McCartney—and recreate what popular music is. Some might argue that Kurt Cobain did it, others will point to Radiohead, Wilco or even the White Stripes—but I say we haven't yet experienced it. Or, if might be years before we realize that we're experiencing it now.
As much as I hate hearing rock favorites recycled on car commercials, the fact is that we need that music to degrade in the pop-culture landscape, like a hillside degrades in the real-world landscapes. The sooner it happens, the sooner innovators will come in and prove to us that you can be a pop sensation without losing any artistry. My prediction, is that like the Beatles, they'll do it as a band that sell singles. And, when they hit, they will avail themselves of the newest technology to make us discover that things we never thought possible were within the reach of humans all along. That, I think, is worth the admission price of not letting the Beatles fester in a hermetically-sealed memory, but to let them wax and wane in memory.
Just to be extra clear: My position is not that it was right to sell the songs to be used in commercials, I am sad that it happened. What I am saying is that this is a natural progression and started when the Beatles became a phenomenon. If you want to blame anybody, blame the fact that Michael Jackson was able to buy the songs in the first place. He was just acting as any good capitalist and maximizing returns on his financial investment.

Wow, are you biased! Hope nobody says anything bad about the Beatles in a pub within earshot of you.
First off, Yoko Ono may have been a muse of some sort, but she was the equivalent of the psycho girlfriend. In an interview John did for Playboy not long before he was killed, he mentions how Paul would stop by their apartment to hang out, which annoyed both him and Yoko. Paul still considered himself a friend and it was John that was pushing Paul away. Forget their celebrity status and think about you and your friends. This situation happens when a woman becomes controlling of the man's life. And Yoko was very controlling. How else to explain her awful participation on the Mike Douglas show?
Wings was a mediocre band at best. Pop tunes that never explored any deep meaning that a Lennon or George Harrison song could. Linda McCartney didn't break it up, but thankfully it is broken up.
Ringo Starr's songs don't suck, true. But that's like saying cucumbers don't suck. Easy to digest, but you don't crave them.
Michael Jackson betrayed Paul McCartney by selling the songs. Surely Paul must have had conversations about Jackson's intent. They recorded together. So why did their relationship sour after Jackson's business dealings? Only two people can answer that.
That said, however, it is just as despicable that Paul McCartney is still suing Apple Computer. They have seen millions on a "name" that nobody outside of McCartney and Starr even care about. Who still associates the Beatles with Apple Records? Enough is enough. Let it go and stop the baseless litigation. Greed? Here's the very definition.

This situation happens when a woman becomes controlling of the man's life.
Are you seriously suggesting that John Lennon was coerced into his relationship with Yoko Ono? Or, that at any point in their relationship, he didn't have the option of leaving should have chosen to?
This is one of my points: As fans, what gives us the right to second-guess the choices they make in who they love? And, if we don't like the decisions that they made--with or at their partners behest--that we dismiss them as being controlled or whipped? That strikes me as arrogant at best, naive and degrading in the middle, and abjectly misogynistic at worst.
You ask me to think of this situation in context of my friends, if this happened to one of them. To that I ask you to think about your relationship being judged not by your friends, but by millions of people who don't know you, but feel that they do. I'm inclined to believe that there are only two people who really knew what happened between Lennon and Ono.
As for Yoko Ono on the Mike Douglas show: I'm afraid you'll need to explain what was objectionable about it.

About the Book About the Author Excerpts Reviews About the Book "Thou art the Black Rider. Go thee out unto the world." Lisabeth Lewis has a black steed, a set of scales, and a new job: she's been appointed Famine. How will an anorexic seventeen-year-old girl from the suburbs fare as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Traveling the world on her steed gives Lisa freedom from her troubles at home—her constant battle with hunger, and her struggle to hide it from the people who care about her. But being Famine forces her to go places where hunger is a painful part of everyday life, and to face the horrifying effects of her phenomenal power. Can Lisa find a way to harness that power—and the courage to fight her own inner demons? A wildly original approach to the issue of eating disorders, Hunger is about the struggle to find balance in a world of extremes, and uses fantastic tropes to explore a difficult topic that touches the lives of many teens. Subjects Social Themes/General (see also headings under Family) Girls & Women Fantasy/General Related Subjects General Images of Strong Women General Self Esteem & Confidence About the Author Jackie Kessler Jackie Morse Kessler is the author of the the Riders of the Apocalypse quartet for teen readers, along with several paranormal and dark fantasy books for adults. She lives in upstate New York. Visit her website at www.jackiemorsekessler.com. Excerpts Chapter 1 Lisabeth Lewis didn't mean to become Famine. She had a love affair with food, and she'd never liked horses (never mind the time she asked for a pony when she was eight; that was just a girl thing). If she'd been asked which Horseman of the Apocalypse she would most likely be, she would have probably replied, "War." And if you'd heard her and her boyfriend, James, fighting, you would have agreed. Lisa wasn't a Famine person, despite the eating disorder. And yet there she was, Lisabeth Lewis, seventeen and no longer thinking about killing herself, holding the Scales of office. Famine, apparently, had scales—an old-fashioned balancing device made of brass or bronze or some other metal. What she was supposed to do with the Scales, she had no idea. Then again, the whole "Thou art the Black Rider; go thee out unto the world" thing hadn't really sunk in yet. Alone in her bedroom, Lisa sat on her canopied bed with its overflowing pink and white ruffles, and she stared at the metal balance, wondering what, exactly, she'd promised the pale man in the messenger's uniform. Or had it been a robe? Frowning, she tried to picture the delivery man who'd just left—but the more she grasped for it, the more slippery his image became until Lisa was left with the impression of a person painted in careless watercolors. Maybe the Lexapro was messing with her. Yeah, she thought, putting the Scales on her nightstand, next to a half-empty glass of water (which rested on a coaster) and a pile of white pills (which did not), I'm high as a freaking kite. And you're fat, lamented the negative voice, the Thin voice, Lisa's best friend and worst critic, the one that whispered to her in her sleep and haunted her when she was awake. High and fat, Lisa amended. But at least I'm not depressed. Or dead; the delivery man had rung the doorbell before Lisa could swallow more than three of her mother's antidepressants. Bundled in her white terry cloth bathrobe over her baggy flannel pajamas, Lisa had answered the door and accepted the parcel. "For thee," the pale man had said. "Thou art Famine." And once Lisa had opened the oddly shaped package, all thoughts of suicide had drifted away. Thanks to the pills, that was sort of the way she was feeling now, as if she were drifting— drifting slowly like a cloud in the summertime sky, a cloud shaped like a set of old-fashioned scales . . . The pills. Pulling her gaze from the Scales, Lisa scooped the pills into her nightstand drawer. She wiped away the stray trails of powder, brushed off her hands, and gently closed the drawer. It wasn't as if she had to worry whether her mom would notice that her stash of bliss had been depleted; Mrs. Simon Lewis was off at some charity event or another, accepting some award or another. Lisa just didn't want to leave a mess. Even if she had overdosed, as she had originally planned, she would have died neatly in her own bed. Lisa tried her best to be considerate. She frowned at the Scales. Dappled in moonlight there on her nightstand, they gleamed enticingly. Lisa couldn't decide if they looked ominous or merely cheesy. Cheddar cheese, one ounce, the Thin voice announced. One hundred fourteen point three calories. Nine point four grams of fat. Forty minutes on the exercise bike. And behind that, the pale man's words burned in Lisa's mind: "Thou art Famine." Uh-huh. Right. Famine having a set of old-fashioned scales, Lisa decided, was stupid. The only scales that mattered were the digital sort, the ones that also displayed your body mass index. Lisa yawned. Her head was fuzzy, and everything seemed pleasantly blurred, soft around the edges. It was peaceful. She thought about closing her window shade, but she decided she liked the moonlight shining on the Scales—sort of a celestial spotlight. You're loopy, she scolded herself. Hallucinating. Get some sleep, Lisa. She settled down on her bed, pulling the princess pink covers around her to fend off the chill. Lately, she was always cold—and hungry. Although she enjoyed the feeling of hunger, she hated it when her body shivered. Whenever she forced her body to stop shivering, it made her teeth chatter. And when she forced her teeth to clamp shut, her body shivered. It was a physical conspiracy. Lisa gripped the blankets tightly and started thinking about the homemade cookies she'd make for Tammy tomorrow. As she imagined the smell of chocolate chips, she calmed down. Baking was soothing. And Tammy was a fiend for Lisa's baking. James was, too, but he always acted hurt when she wouldn't taste any of the sweets she made for him. Snuggled like a baby, Lisa stared at the object on her nightstand. Backlit by the moon, the Scales seemed to wink at her. "Thou art Famine." She let out a bemused laugh. Famine. Really. She would have made a much better War. Smiling, Lisa closed her eyes. ***The black horse was in the garden directly beneath Lisa's window, invisible, waiting for its mistress to climb atop its back and go places she had never imagined—the smoke-filled dance clubs of Lagos, dripping with wealth and hedonism; the opulent world of Monte Carlo, oozing with indulgence; the streets of New Orleans, filled with its dizzying smells and succulent foods. In particular, the horse had a fondness for Nola's sweet pralines. Perhaps they would go to Louisiana first—perhaps even tonight. The black horse snorted and pawed the grass, chiding itself in the way that horses do. So what that it wished to move, to fly, to soar across the world and feast? It was a good steed; it would wait forever, if needed, until its mistress was ready to ride. It wasn't the horse's fault that it was impatient; the rhododendrons in the garden couldn't mask the cloying odor of rot, which made the horse's large nostrils flare. Death had come and gone, but its scent had left its impression on the land, in the air. Death was scary. The horse much preferred the smell of sugar. Or pralines. The black horse waited, and Lisabeth Lewis, the new incarnation of Famine, dreamed of fields of dust.

The Women's Equality Party is a political party in the United Kingdom that was formed following a public meeting in London's Royal Festival Hall on 28 March 2015, where it was concluded that there was a need for a political party in the United Kingdom to campaign for gender equality to the benefit of all. The meeting was organised via Facebook[1] under the title "The Women's Equality Party needs you. But probably not as much as you need the Women's Equality Party" following a proposal by Catherine Mayer. The party's full policy was launched by party leader, Sophie Walker, at Conway Hall, 20 October 2015.
On 2 March 2015, author and journalist Catherine Mayer attended a "Women in Politics" event at the Women of the World Festival(Purcell Room, Southbank Centre). The panel was chaired by Jude Kelly (Artistic Director, Southbank Centre), and the panel consisted of Katie Ghose (CEO, Electoral Reform Society), Margot James (Conservative), Stella Creasy (Labour) and Jo Swinson (Lib Dem).[2] Having watched the panelists agreeing collegially with each other on almost every point Mayer stood up and said, "What about if I found a Women's Equality Party, tell you what, I'm going to go to the bar afterwards, anyone interested in discussing this come and see me."[3]
On 8 March 2015, at the same festival, comedian Sandi Toksvig presented an event entitled "Sandi Toksvig's Mirth Control: Stand Up and Be Counted", (Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre).[4] Interviewed by Jenni Murray on the BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, Toksvig said, "I had a fantasy cabinet of women, and I didn't care which party they came from, we had Doreen Lawrence as our Home Secretary. Can you imagine anything more wonderful? We had paralympian Tanni Grey-Thompson as our Sports Minister, and I asked them to put forward practical suggestions. The world is in a parlous state, 9.1 million women failed to vote in the last election, we need to attract them, we also need to attract the more than 7 million men who didn't vote. Why are people not engaged in politics, because I don't think that the people standing represent the diversity of this country."[5] Mayer phoned Toksvig and the two agreed to become co-founders of the party.[6]
Hers was a high-class establishment. The clients at her afternoon "parties" included vicars, barristers, bankers, an MP and "a peer of the realm"

We need to have the best product that solves our customers problems better than anything else. We need the most efficient ways of working, and the most brilliant people. Without this, we will not succeed, since the global opportunity of making and selling a software also means a global competition with the best. In some situations, excellence means pure perfection going above and beyond, but far from always. More often the challenge is about striking the right balance between perfectionism, speed, cost, and effort. Always applying the best of our judgment to make those calls is what makes us great.
There is a difference between just hearing what someone says, and actually understanding what is being said, and what's not being said. To do this successfully, one needs to not only focus and pay attention, it also requires empathy for the other person's perspective and analytical skills computing what it means. At Hansoft, we have found that people who are good at deep listening are often better at solving problems together with their peers, and colleagues in both directions in the line of command. They understand, extrapolate and are able to employ this understanding with direction and execution in their work. In our interaction with customers, deep listening makes us able to rapidly help our customers be successful by using the right solutions and recommendations.
In many ways, Hansoft is like an awesome rock band. While it is true that we need stars on every instrument we make magic by working efficiently together as a team. Everyone earn their way through showing results, not through previous experience, academic titles, a pretty CV or by playing the political game.
This means that you are always putting the team and loyalty to what is best for the company before a personal agenda or prestige. We communicate candidly with each other and are generous with constructive feedback. This also means you see what the team needs in order to succeed, and not only yourself.
For some people the glass is always half full and for some it is always half empty. Being an entrepreneurial company that all the time breaks new ground and tries new things, we will also constantly run in to problems that needs to be solved. We have found that people that have a positive outlook, and see solutions and opportunities wherever problems arise are much more successful. However, we have no tolerance for people seeing every challenge in a negative light, pointing fingers of blame. We have found that this spreads negativity and drains the team of energy. This is not to be confused with open-minded, purposeful, critical, Socratic questioning and discussion. That is an important part of constructive and methodical problem solving. The person who in every challenge, small and large, sees an opportunity for learning and problem solving, will be a winner and positive contribution to our culture and business success.
Hansoft is an entrepreneurial company and we need people with drive and a high energy level to outperform our competition. It is not enough being smart, we also need to work hard. It is also more fun to work with people with drive, energy, and high enthusiasm for the goals and tasks ahead.

When Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II visited the Irish National Stud in 2011, she unveiled a curious sculpture commissioned to mark the occasion
The hollow sphere of zodiac signs, constellations and a foal represent the royal connection the National Stud has had in its 112-year history. More specifically, they represent the fascinating character of its founder: Colonel William Hall Walker.
In a place where an animal can be worth the price of an island, the legacy of the Colonel still stands as the most interesting thread in a story of stallions and stars.
While stationed in India with the British Army, Walker developed a fascination with Eastern philosophies, including Buddhism and astrology. In 1900, he bought the land at Tully in Kildare. Today, his eccentric fingerprints are all over the stud and its Japanese Gardens.
Over 110 years later, Walker's unusual strategies are as vital to the stud's success as the limestone-rich soil it sits on.
"Oh he was craz...", Catherine Higgins of the visitor centre worker stops herself, and revises her description of the stud's founder to "peculiar". Even the centre's leaflets note that Walker's policies have been described over the years as "inspired", "eccentric", and even "preposterous".

Preposterous seems harsh. Maybe, though, it struck a nerve with trainers whose advice on foals was disregarded in favour of their astrological chart.
The Colonel meticulously recorded a foal's time of birth, and drew up the birth charts himself. If he didn't like the stars, regardless of bloodline, the foal would be sold immediately.
In the stud's Horse Museum, a horoscope book in a glass display cabinet lies open on the chart of a bay colt named Lord of the Sea. The verdict is not good: "Saturn in his 5th House… makes him very little good for racing or stud purposes... no good at all except for selling."
In the stables, skylights that were installed on the Colonel's insistence that horses be able to see the moonlight and stars, are still visible.
Asian horticulture was another obsession for Walker. "He appreciated that there is always meaning behind Asian horticulture," says Catherine. "He didn't just think 'I'll plant a couple of bonsai trees'. He did it properly".
Bringing master horticulturist Tassa Eida and family from Japan to design the gardens is testament to the Colonel's grand plans.
Through trees, plants, flowers, lawns, rocks and water, the gardens symbolise the Life of Man. The stages smack heavily of Buddhism, with a cave and dark tunnel representing birth and, later, a marriage bridge of two stones side-by-side, meeting in the middle.
Can you spot the deer sculpture?
"The gardens were his thing again," nods tour guide Dave Hogan. "He brought Tassa in to build the garden as an added attraction to get people to his stud. Believe me – it works. People come for the gardens and stay for the horses."
One of those guests was Aga Khan III. Some say the Colonel's greatest contribution to bloodstock was introducing Khan to racing. He became a great investor in Irish breeding, just like his grandson Aga Khan IV, today.
St Fiachra's Garden
One of Queen Elizabeth's favourite horses, Epsom winner Carrozza, was loaned to her by the stud. On her visit, she would have been aware of the stud's characters and stories, and the enigmatic figure behind them.
Sculptor Anthony Scott spoke to Her Majesty at the unveiling of his sculpture for the Colonel.
"She called it 'ingenious'", he said, blushing.
As a one-word tribute to the Colonel, it's not bad.

In his hugely popular series, best-selling author Harry Kemelman creates well-crafted mysteries, filled with slice-of-life characters and fascinating Hebrew rituals. Saturday the Rabbi Went Hungry pulls you into the Jewish community at Barnard's Crossing, which has just been thrown into disarray over the unexplained death of one of its members.
As Rabbi Small and his temple congregation solemnly prepare for Yom Kippur, a non-practicing member is found dead behind the wheel of his car - in his own garage. The police call the death an accident, and the insurance company insists that it's suicide. But Miriam, Rabbi Small's wife, believes the mishap could only be cold-blooded murder. With his congregants splitting over the possible cause, the young rabbi must discover the truth, or forfeit all hope for peace in the temple. Turning to the Talmud for divine logic, Rabbi Small discovers order in the midst of the most muddled events.
Veteran narrator George Guidall, personally approved for this unabridged recording by the author's estate, provides the perfect voice for the determined rabbi as he faces the divided Jewish community.
©1966 Harry Kemelman (P)1997 Recorded Books
"Comfortable whodunnit"
The USA before 9/11, a small town Eden where civil rights demonstrations are somewhere else, but class is a big issue, where business sharp practice is nasty, but does not ruin thousands of pensioners.
Rabbi David Small is a good man, albeit given to the sort of casuistry for which the Jesuits have earned expulsion from many countries on many occasions. Unlike the majority of fictional detectives he is happily, if not convincingly, married. Poor Miriam isn't daft, but seems to be satisfied with less consideration than her husband's crumpled jacket.
It's "I love Lucy" with a touch of theology and a seemly murder, great bedtime listening, told in an old fashioned American accent which is easy to follow.
"Great book and the narration is the BEST!"
Once in a while, we get double treats on Audible--a book by a beloved author read by a favorite narrator.
This is it folks! It's hard to get better than this old series (begun in the 60's) about David Small, a young rabbi who is very conservative, and sometimes has to use his wisdom to help parishioners with his deep understanding and love of the Talmud. He uses this as his guide for helping people settle petty disagreements, but it also directs him in solving more serious situations--like murder. His crime-solving talent has led him to have a good relationship with the local police, leading them to be not-quite-a-team, but they trust each other a lot.
In this book, a non-practicing Jewish man has died in a way that appears to be suicide, and some in the congregation are alarmed at the location in a cemetery where he will be buried, which is itself--surprise--also a focus in the book, as certain people are trying to use the cemetery to bring improvements and attention to the congregation (and financial benefits to themselves). It falls to Rabbi Small to use his particular Talmudic law and wisdom to guide the police towards solving the crime.
Ok. That's the story--let me just tell you that I read all this series when they were published, and loved them then. Finding and listening to them again is such a delight--they are simply wonderful. The only thing that tops that is discovering that they have been narrated by George Guidall--someone who probably could read the phone book with such talent that I would sit and listen. If you like mysteries--and these are admittedly old, but have not been hurt by the passing of time--and you want one of the best narrators who ever reads these books, you won't get better than this!
"the series is getting better........"
I'm liking this series more with each book......this is a better mystery than the last and involves a little more character development too. The back-and-forth arguing that is often used as a cliche of old Jewish men was well portrayed and added a bit of humour as well. It's dated, but still kind of comforting, like watching an old episode of Murder She Wrote.
The narration is terrific, as expected. George Guidall is one of my favourite narrators, and he doesn't disappoint here.
In addition to a local murder for the rabbi to solve, the traditions and observance of Yom Kippur is described in the detail.
Not necessarily, but it was entertaining.
Rabbi Small - he's young and a bit confused. He's only beginning to find his way with the congregation.
When the rabbi decided to go up against the officers in the temple. His wife, almost nine months pregnant, tries to keep calm while worrying about the future of her family.
"This book was informative funny and a good mystery"
good old-fashioned mystery back and forth never quite sure and lots of information about the Jewish faith it was wonderful
"Learning and loving G-d."
As a person with low vision, I truly appreciate well- recorded and interesting books. Returning to Kemelman after decades, I find more in his mystery and presentation of important (and maybe not so important) concepts of ethics derived from the Talmud through Rabbi Small. The side stories of everyday life are well done, and the reader does well with intonation and pronunciation of accents, words in Hebrew and Yiddish, and the good-natured discussions of the Irish Catholic police chief with Rabbi Small. I was not offended by the racism in the book. It was written during a time of racism, overt racism, in the United States. The references to "Negroes" is within the time, and adds authenticity. At that time, I do not believe the author could write any other way. It took me back to those days, when I was younger, and I appreciated this. There is much goodness in these "little books." I highly recommend this book and the others in the series.
"You don't need to be Jewish to enjoy the story."
Kemelman shares a little known niche of our society. Who understands the Jew? These Rabbi stories are marvelous in opening a window to a world so little explored. The explanations interwoven with the story bring a whole other view point of life as seen by the Hebrew people. These stories are presented in away that gives readers the option of following conventional thought or you can try to adapt to the Rabbi's thinking. Both are strains of thought are convincing but only one can be right. No one else on the planet could do these narrations and give them due justice as George Guidall's does. I would listen to Mr. Guidall read a telephone book.

When the crowd parted some yesterday outside the Rose Bowl at the BCS National Championship Game I was able to stand comfortably behind the sprawling College Gameday set and position myself in such a way that I could see Nick Saban in all his frustrated sort-of-glory. His head floated in between a giant steel pole and the elbow of one of the camera men.
I was in a sea of orange and navy and garnet and gold. The Pasadena sun shone down and the temperature was pleasant, God blessing the proceedings. The San Gabriels towered off ahead of us and there was a buzz. Everyone on a vacation, the success of which was entirely dependent upon whether or not their squad won. People were happy, though. They stared at the set with a great deal of awe and hoped for a camera to make its rounds near them so people back home could point at the television, then pause it, then take their picture, then tweet it at them. Everyone was shouting out one name or another trying to get someone to look their way.
Nick! Saban! You still need a second, Nick?! You suck!
Kirk! Herbie!! Kirk!
Coach! Coach! Who you picking?!
To my right some ten yards away in the middle of the patch of grass were three dudes, all of them Florida State fans. One of them was wearing a Winston jersey. The number 5 was faded and I'd imagine it doubled as an EJ Manuel jersey some time ago. The other two were in FSU golf polos. On the ground next to one of them was a 24 rack of Bud Light, the side ripped open revealing the metallic Dory-blue cans. Next to that was a wooden box with the top cut off. They'd cut slits in the sides of the wood so that they could string a leather strap through them to make it easier to carry the box. It looked like a wooden purse. Inside were their empties. Some eight to ten cans were piled up in there. On the side of the box, written in sharpie, it said this: Leweee Vittun.
This is not to say I think they were dumb. On the contrary. I think they've got fantastic senses of humor. It looked to be a bit. They were just having fun, hoping someone would try to correct them on the spelling so they could go in on them. All three of them had a beer in a koozie and all three kept on shouting "Noles!" at the top of their lungs. They each wore old, worn Sperrys. I'd imagine they went home very happy after the game.
I'd have been fine observing these modern day heroes for the rest of the day but my attention was diverted when I heard someone shout "Charles". I whipped my head around and there, behind the fence, 30 yards away, was Barkley. He was talking to a security guard, the both of them pointing to the right, presumably at the gigantic "Tailgate Experience" or whatever they were calling it. Someone, maybe Joe Purdy himself — I was too far away and have no idea what the person on stage looked like — was singing Joe Purdy songs. Can't imagine anyone sincerely wanting to cover Joe Purdy but, you know, it takes all kinds. Chuck's shirt was long sleeved and navy and on the back it said "Oops LOL".
I wondered what that meant. I'd been given the punch line but not the joke. The Chuckster refusing to disappoint with his wardrobe. A homemade, custom shirt. The Gawd. People kept on shouting.
Chuck! Charles! Hey! Chuck! War Eagle, Chuck!
He'd not been paying anybody much mind and started to move slowly toward the set. A woman close to him put her hand on his shoulder and they chopped it up for a few seconds. Barkley smiled.
Then a couple came up and talked to him. He looked like he knew them. They stood by the porta pottie and he took a picture with the lady. Then took a picture with both of them. Then just with the guy. This was when I was finally able to see what it said on the front of his shirt.
In orange lettering, one word: Roll
Chuck flinging zingers. Then I walked off in search of a bathroom and tried to discretely take a picture of the Leweee Vittun box but failed.
