Hello everybody,
I want to share with you today my last project.
This trousers Sita Murt from Patrones Magazine 268.
Wide leg ,with a side zipper.
The fit is great,I cut a size 40 ( that will be 36 for me in Burda). The pattern ask for a waist band but I found that the pants were to high in the waist so instead I did just make a facing for the finish in the waist.
This fabric is just so perfect for this pants,the pictures are made after one day of wearing the pants around and I find that they are not so wrinkly at all, and together with the pattern is now my favorite summer pair of trousers.The silver thread in the fabric makes the gray lesser boring I find.:). I just LOVE them.
Thank you for reading.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Jan. 1, 1963 W. J. PIEMONTE ETAL 3,071,316 BOTTLE SUPPORT AND CAP ASSEMBLY F' OR CENTRIF'UGE Filed May 19, 1959 INVENTORS wu/4M nu/,v Plinn/vrs ALEXANDER F. /PaL/ra United States Patent fltlce Patented Jan. 1, 1963 3,071,316 BOTTLE SUPPORT AND CAP ASSEMBLY FOR CENTRIFUGE William John Piemonte and Alexander F. Ippolito, Brooklyn, N.Y., assignors, by mesne assignments, to Lourdes Instrument Corporation, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Filed May 19, 1959, Ser. No. $14,305 1 Claim. (Cl. 233-26) This invention relates to bottle supports and more fspecifically to a support in combination With a sealing cap assembly for 4a bottle, as mounted in an angle type centrifuge.
The prior art relating to the support of a fragile bottle with a cap assembly is apparently only found in the type of mounting used for a vacuum bottle, in which the inner bottle is securely retained between the outer shell, a Vacuum about the inner bottle and a cap assembly to retain the inner bottle so that it will not be displaced or break. In utilizing a bottle, whether capped or uncapped, in an angle type centrifuge, because of the angle of the rotor compartments and the high speeds and the resultant centrifugal forces involved, all of the presently available plastic bottles have inadequate strength to withstand the centrifugal force when they are filled and capped. Further, the presently available sealing caps do not offer effective sealing during centrifugation.
It is an object of this invention to provide a cap aS- sembly for a fragile bottle, as mounted in the rotor of an -angle type centrifuge.
lt is a further object of this invention to provide a reinforcing supporting assembly for the cap mounted in a fragile bottle that is to be utilized in the rotor of an angle type centrifuge.
Further objects of this invention shall be apparent by reference to the accompanying detailed description and the drawings, in which:
FIG. l is a cross sectional view of a centrifuge rotor, in which a plurality of bottles are mounted in spaced relation in pockets within the rotor, and
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional View of the bottle and supporting cap assembly.
Referring to the drawings, there is illustrated an angle -type centrifuge rotor that is provided with a plurality of pockets 12 (six compartments or pockets in this instance) in which bottles 15 (of approximately 250 ml. or 500 ml.) are mounted. These bottles are at approximately a 28 angle to the vertic-al axis.
When centrifuging with an uncapped plastic bottle, the bottle cannot be filled, since there would be spillage from the top as the fluids in the bottle build up to a vertical circular Wall as the centrifugal force increases during acceleration. When centrifuging with a capped bottle, it has been found that with a rigid bottle such as made of stainless steel, the bottle will stand up under terrific centrifugal force developed Without breaking. In this invention, when centrifugal forces in excess of 20,000 times gravity at speeds in excess of 11,000 r.p.m. are to be considered, and when a polyethylene bottle is to be used and lled and sealed with a cap, the bottle 15, if it is not supported at its neck will distort and may rupture at the neck of the bottle. of bottle that is rather fragile, there is provided a cap assembly 16 for the bottle 15, and a reinforcing support- Therefore, to protect this typeV ing element 17 which may be threadably secured to retain the bottle neck and cap assembly in their proper relationship and prevent rupturing of said botle. The cap assembly is comprised of a stainless steel circular crown member 18 that covers and rests upon the top aperture or mouth of bottle 15. The crown member 18 is provided with a central aperture 19 and on the inner surface of the crown member there is a reduced portion 20 which provides a shoulder 21. A similar type element 22 of a smaller diameter is provided to be inserted within the mouth of said bottle 15, element 22 is similarly provided with a reduced portion 23 an-d a shoulder 24. Element 22 is not provided with a central aperture, but rather is provided with an extended threaded stud 25. A neoprene gasket v26 of a -fairly good thickness is inserted between elements 18 and 22, and with the stud 25 passing upward through the aperture 19 a nut 27 may be threadably secured to the stud 25 to retain the crown element 18 in juxtaposition to the gasket 26. This assembly may be inserted in the mouth of the bottle 15 and by turning nut 27 to draw element 22 toward element l, there will be a squeezing and distor-tion of the gasket 26 to thus provide a tight sealing cap assembly 16. With bottle 15 properly sealed with the cap assembly 16, the bottle 15 may be mounted in a pocket 12 of the rotor. It is apparent that if the rotor were operated at high speed with the bottle cap assembly so mounted, there would be a terrific distortion across the neck area of the bottle 15. Therefore, a supporting element 17 is mounted to surround the neck of the bottle. Supporting element 17 may be comprised of any rigid reinforcing material, such as aluminum, to provide the necessary strength. Element 17 at its base 29 is formed or cut on its inner periphery to fit the contour of the curved upper portion 15A of bottle 15, and the base portion 29, on its periphery, is circular in form, With a diameter to match the diameter of the rotor compartment 12. Element 17 may be formed on its inner periphery of the upper portion 30 -with a mating contour to mate with and match the outer periphery of the neck of bottle 15. The upper end of portion 30 is also provided with a cut out portion 31 to permit the crown member 1S to fit into portion 31 of element 17.
It is to be noted that the base portion 29 of the suppor-ting element 17 fits well within the bore of pocket 12 to provide a good solid support when the bottle 15 is mounted within pocket 12. The rest of the bottle is fully supported within the pocket of the rotor. It is apparent that when the rotor 10 is operated anda considerable centrifugal force is developed, this supporting element and cap assembly provides a rigid support for the polyethylene bottle 15 that is being utilized. With this supporting assembly, it is possible to -use a fairly light polyethylene bottle without danger of rupturing the bottle or losing the cap from the bot-tle due to any distortion.
Although a polyethylene bottle has been described as the preferable type of bottle to be used in this instance in an angle type centrifuge, other types of bottles, that is bottles constructed of other material of insufficient strength may be similarly used, without danger of breaking when supported in the manner illustrated herein, and this invention shall be limited only by the appended cl-airn.
What is claimed is:
In an angle type centrifuge, the combination of a central rotor, and a plurality of fragile distortable bottles that are to be mounted in said central rotor, said bottles having a sealing cap and a reduced neck portion, and a plurality of lightweight supporting elements that are cornposed of a rigid reinforcing material, each one to support the neck of a bottle and said sealing cap, said sealing cap tted and mounted within the neck of each bottle to seal said bottle, said rotor provided with a plurality of apertures, said bottles fitted into said apertures in said rotor, the necks of said bottles extending above said rotor, each supporting element tted to the reduced neck portion and extending slightly above said neck portion, and positioned to lit partially into the aperture in said rotor and each sealing cap abutting with the supporting element Where it extends above said neck portion to prevent distortion of said cap within the neck of said bottle.

Comparing Persian Restaurants
We love Shamshiri and I've always been curious about Darya. But it occurs to me there must be dozens if not hundreds of Persian restaurants here in LA. Can anyone weigh in with some comparisons, and perhaps examples of special dishes at one place vs another? Thanks!
re: travelingchickie
I second Raffi's!! Of course, I only eat the koobideh, and I've only only been to two Persian restaurants, but their beef koobideh is the best!
re: ChefPapaloma
Fourth. I've been to Shamshiri, Shiraz, Javan, Darya, Caspian, and Flame, some of those more than half a dozen times... Raffi's has the best chelokebab hands down.
I've explored the menu pretty well at Shamshiri Grill, Javan, and Flame. I have some experience with Darya, but not as much as the others.
I find I tend to go to Javan the most. I love Persian stews and rices and I think Javan does a wonderful job with those. They do acceptable kabobs and their lavash bread is fairly pathetic.
Flame is THE place on the westside for Persian kabobs and their bread is fresh and warm and just perfect.
Shamshiri Grill keeps losing it's luster for me. They do nice stuff, don't get me wrong. It's just that Javan has better stews, Flame has better kabobs. Shamshiri Grill has a more extensive vegetarian section than the others, including a fantastic gormeh sabzi, so if that's a factor then stick with them.
Darya is my latest experiment. I ordered a few things awhile back but another poster, Servorg, recommended it in another thread and reminded me I gave it short shrift. I had a few dishes there, notably a beautiful fesenjan (which can be done vegetarian as well). I'd say it's comparable to Javan. The vote would probably be split down the middle between Javan and Darya if you asked people who frequent both is my guess. It comes down to preference.
re: Frommtron
I tried ordering delivery from Darya recently. The lady on the phone was so rude and clueless that I hung up without completing my order. BTW, what's in the veggie fesenjan? Is it just the stew?
re: a_and_w
The way they do these hotposts now makes it impossible to keep up . . .
I'm glad you hung up and went with another option. Not that I wouldn't give them another shot but they lose on that occasion. You know, I haven't tried Darya's vegetarian version of fesenjan but I know I've had a vegetarian version from someone on the westside and it was basically the stew with no meat in it. I suspect it wasn't 100% vegetarian but it came meatless.
re: Frommtron
Finally got around to trying Darya. Ordered fesenjan, kashke bademjan, and chicken kobideh -- dishes I usually get at Javan. By comparison, Darya's Fesenjan was less sweet and more chunky -- I enjoyed it but prefer Javan's version. Kashke bademjan at Darya was not at all to my liking. The yogurt was way too tart and the dish had a strange mayonnaise taste (I hate mayo). Chicken Kobideh was about the same at both places. Bill at Darya was about $5 more than Javan for the same food. I'm certainly no expert in Persian food, but I know what I like, and I definitely prefer Javan to Darya.
Darya has better rice than Shamshiri Grill in Westwood, however Shamshiri and Shiraz in Glendale have better barg and koobideh. The in-house baked bread at Shamshiri Grill is very good though
I agree with frommtron about Javan. After trying a few (sham, darya etc) it is my favortie. I always get the Burg kabob which is pounded chicken and quite good.
re: jgomer
I really like Javan's kashk o bademjan, fesenjan, and the chicken kobideh (much better than Shamshiri's).
I've been to a bunch. Shamshiri and Javan became my favorites, though I haven't been to either in months. Javan was originally my favorite, but now I give the nod to Shamshiri. I like the rich dishes (especially the baghala polo), kabobs, bread, and kashk better there. The fish and chicken kabobs are so juicy and delicious. I love the succulent fish with baghala polo (rice with lima beans and dill). The kashk is pretty amazing if you're hungry and don't mind the richness.
Regardless, we are lucky to have such good Persian in Los Angeles. This cuisine is not nearly as common anywhere else.
re: fkingford
Second to Baran - except if they have a private party booked and the you're out of luck. Stews at Javan are better than Darya.
I like Javan on Santa Monica best, followed by Sheharezad on Westwood. Shamshiri does not do it for me.
Raffi's Place in Glendale has the best rice (not flavoured, just the regular basmati rice) you will ever put in your mouth. Their dips are tasty too. I didn't find their kabobs to be particularly noteworthy but they were good -- just not "great".
I like Shamshiri in Glendale for their flavoured rices. Is Olive Branch in La Crescenta still open? They had THE BEST flavoured rices.
re: Das Ubergeek
Olive Branch is still open, though I believe it's gone through a series of new owners in the past several years. Still a great place, and their new decor livens it up a bit.
How good is it? They are our caterer for our backyard wedding next month. I still like Raffi's better, as far as saffron rice and koobideh goes (which is all we really eat). But Olive Branch has a cheaper lunch menu, and I think it's pretty much the same amount of food.
Just posting to stick the mentioned places in the upper right listing...hope it works!

of what's been mentioned, i have to go with javan. But I wanted to add a few other options to the discussion too:
- attari sandwich shop. while they do have kabob, it's an afterthought. the main event here is sandwiches of things like kookoo sabzi (it's basically an herb fritatta) or schnitzel in french bread. great barley soup, pretty courtyard.
- if you're willing to go out to woodland hills, my favorite kabob place is Green Cottage on ventura blvd. delicious, very homey feel, yummy pickled garlic (along with all the standards)
- there's a place in van nuys called It's All Good House of Kabob. modest place, mostly takeout, but they have this thing on the menu called 'beryani', which i have never seen on any other persian menu (nor in any persian home kitchen). apparently it's a big old ground lamb patty. i've not tried it, but definitely something different than your average chelo kabob.
- vanak in van nuys. the kabob is just ok, but the point here is the fresh baked breads. really delicious barbari bread.
I just ate at Flame Monday. It was decent but didn't blow me away. The beef koobideh was the best dish we tried. And we were intrigued by one of the drinks:
Haven't been to Raffi's and Shiraz, but of the other places,I like Darya the best because I love greens and salads as an integral part of my meal. Getting salad at the other places feels to me a lot like getting salad at a fast food restaurant - low quality, tasteless greens - they are on the menu, but no one really cares about them. But the greens are Darya are always wonderful. Had a little dinner party recently where we got the following from Darya to go and eat at home, all delicious:
Panir Sabzi - really delicious fresh herbs, good feta
Darya Salad - this is a great salad. The greens are always fresh and the dressing is delicious - virgin olive oil and lime juice and just the right balance between the two - this is one of my favorite salads in L.A., Persian or not
Kashkeh Bademjan - really tasty eggplant dish
Cornish hen - really good and not dried out and overcooked like at a lot of places
A few days later I went to Flame and didn't enjoy it at all, except for their iced tea (they make a very good ice tea). The salad wasn't great and the dressing wasn't good and the chicken was a bit dried out.
I don't like Shamshiri Grill at all - their greens are terrible.
Of course, if you don't care about salads and greens (I'm guessing most people could care less and only go to Persian restaurants for meat and rice), then feel free to disregard all.
re: omotosando
I was working late the other night and ordered delivery from Aram in Beverly Hills. The experience reinforced how good Darya is. The greens in the panir sabzi from Aram were all old and wilted. Yeech.
If you are going to go to Darya, I highly suggest the one in Orange County across the street from South Coast Plaza. I don't care for the one in Santa Monica. I also think Raffi's place is probably the best place for Kabob in L.A.
Also Shekarchi in downtown LA is really good and their catering is excellent as well.
re: hungryhyena
I also love Darya across from SCP, but I have heard that the one in Tustin is better? Have yet to try, but am willing to be a guinea pig. Anyone else have an opinion in regards to OC.
re: justagthing
I haven't as of yet had a good experience at the one in Tustin. I also am not quite sure if ownership is the same. The last few times we have been to Darya this year (across from SCP) their quality has just continued to improve.
re: hungryhyena
Yes, I've only been to the Darya near South Coast Plaza and agree is very good. Good rice and stews and I like their mixed drinks too
re: hungryhyena
Love Shekarchi! Just had it for lunch today. Yum.
Off the beaten path, but by far the best Persian food I've found in LA: Gypsy Way in San Pedro. Stupid name, terrible location on a side street, but their Aash soup is fantastic, and the kebabs are simply the best. It's a very pretty little restaurant in a converted house, just off Gaffey. Worth the trip!
re: FoodObsessive
Wow; that's a hot tip! When I find myself in San Pedro I'm always at a loss as to where to go. I will try to remember that. Thanks.
I like Shamshiri Grill in Westwood the best. The food is good, and I also like the setup and decor of the restaurant.
I also enjoyed Shahrzad, which is closeby.
I recently tried Flame in Beverly Hills, located at Camden House (on Camden between Wilshire and Santa Monica) , which I also enjoyed.

re: EliAnnKat
shamshiri grill serves wine
re: westsidegal
It should be noted that they decidedly DO NOT serve spirits though. The first time I cared to ask I was told that they did only to discover they were serving some 'saketini' soju nightmare. Not really their fault since they seemed confused by my questioning but it's worth mentioning here since their answer might mislead you a bit.
re: EliAnnKat
Darya near South Coast Plaza serves alcohol. In fact on my last visit had a pomegranate cocktail that was delicious
i have always loved raffi"s. I do however love the Lebanese kitchen in Pasadena. Check it out. Also Carrousel in Silverlake cooks up some mean Armenian! DELICIOUS!!

Self-storage managers are responsible for a facility's marketing, daily and monthly maintenance, signage, security, renovations, curb appeal, sales, customer service, site inspections, lien sales and auctions, community relations, website, ancillary services and products, and more. Day-to-day self-storage operation requires a different set of skills that includes the handling of operational essentials, customer-service savvy, phone etiquette, legal know-how, and sales and marketing finesse. Managers must define their markets, determine rental rates and concessions, deal with the media, choose effective advertising, and understand online marketing all while keeping an eye on the facility's bottom line.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/19/12 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- Oracle today announced Oracle Privileged Account Manager to help customers efficiently comply with regulatory requirements, secure critical applications and sensitive data, and lower operational costs.
- The latest addition to Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 2, a key component of Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g, Oracle Privileged Account Manager provides customers with the ability to easily and safely manage passwords for shared or administrative accounts associated with business applications, middleware, databases and operating systems.
- Typically an enterprise data center can have hundreds of shared accounts, bringing an additional level of security concerns as shared accounts provide elevated system access often to highly sensitive information and can be accessed by multiple sources with little way to audit their usage back to any individual.
- By combining advanced policy-based and automated password management capabilities with comprehensive auditing and reporting features, Oracle Privileged Account Manager delivers highly-secure and simplified password administration to shared accounts, while further streamlining identity compliance reporting.
- As a part of Oracle Identity Governance and integrated into Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 2, Oracle Privileged Account Manager can also significantly reduce identity management costs, deployment times and audit deficiencies.
Integrated Best-in-Class Access Management
- With Oracle Privileged Account Manager, administrators can easily manage and provision access to every layer of company information and data. Features in Oracle Privileged Account Manager include:
- Policy-Based Password Check-Out/Check-In: A Web-based user interface allows administrators to request access to administrative accounts, eliminating the manual logging and tracking of passwords.
- Integration with Oracle Identity Manager 11g: Streamlines password management by enabling Oracle Privileged Account Manager to use the same workflow approvals for account requests and automatically provision access with the same connectors.
- Automatic Password Change: With Oracle Identity Manager 11g connectors available for Unix/Linux, Database and LDAP systems, Oracle Privileged Account Manager supports virtually any application -- improving security and reducing the risk of fraud by automatically changing passwords after administrator check-ins.
- Comprehensive Auditing and Reporting: Tight integration with Oracle Identity Manager 11g and Oracle Identity Analytics 11g provides a common approach and simplifies compliance reporting.
Supporting Quote:
- "With increasing complexity and the need for tight policy controls, managing passwords for shared and administrative accounts can be a very time consuming and expensive process," said Amit Jasuja, vice president of development, Security and Identity Management at Oracle. "Oracle Privileged Account Manager reduces the administrative burden while enabling customers to benefit from simplified, highly-secure management of shared and administrative accounts. The combination can significantly reduce identity costs and improve security by protecting sensitive data from unauthorized parties."

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

Absolutely the Best! - Los Angeles, CA
Absolutely the best plastic surgeon in CA!!! I can not thank Dr. Yamini enough for what he did for me! He exceeded my expectations and beyond. My breast look and feel amazing. He not just attentive, but very detail oriented and a perfectionist. me and my husband are very very happy :-) Thank you. Highly recommend!!
5 out of 5 stars
Amazing Experience - Los Angeles, CA
I went on four liposuction consultations with well-known plastic surgeons throughout LA and Orange County and after many months of research I decided that Dr. Dan Yamini was the perfect choice for me. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. He spent over 3 hours with me over two consults and thoroughly went over all of my questions and concerns. I had a million questions and he was very patient. His staff was also very supportive and went out of their way to help me because I was so nervous and stressed before my surgery. Dr. Yamini was the most professional and honest plastic surgeon that I consulted. He gave me very realistic ideas of what to expect and he actually talked me out of doing breast implants which I'm glad I didn't. I'm sure after I have kids I will need implants or a lift and I know I will go back to him. He's definitely worth the price!

Entertainment Tonight.
Are they? Aren't they? That's the question when it comes to Jonah Hill and his on-again, off again girlfriend Jordan Klein after the two were caught kissing at a Starbucks in North Hollywood on May 22 according to People.com.
Five Things You Didn't Know About Jonah Hill
"They were walking toward Starbucks," a source tells PEOPLE. "Then the next thing we knew, he grabbed the back of her head and started passionately kissing her on the side of the street."
The 21 Jump Street star and his lady-love dated for approximately four years before breaking up back in October 2011. Sporting jeans and a blue T-shirt, Hill walked into the Starbucks with Klein where they ordered a latte, two iced coffees, bagels and cream cheese.
"As soon as they sat down they started kissing again," the source added. "They were so into each other, it was like there was nobody else in the store, actually I think they forgot where they were, it went on for at least five minutes."
A former New Yorker, Hill announced his move back to Los Angeles via Twitter last month.

"Five Star Performance"
Yes- The story line and performance are enough to get me to listen to this again in a year or so, when I've forgotten some of it.
I am just a little more than half way through- it is a 19 1/2 hour listen after all.
But of what I've heard so far, I like the comroderie of the four hobbits and the way they seem to watch out for eachother. The dark riders add a lot of suspense to the storyline.
The man is a voice over artist. Spectactular. Only on one occasion did I have difficulty understanding one of the characters voice.
No way - Like I said earlier - this is almost a twenty hour read. Can anyone do that???
I highly suggest this book as an entertaining and even uplifting book. A nice alternative to zoning out on the TV.
"The ring travels"
I would not say that the audio version is better than reading the books for the first time--nothing can equal that experience but this audible version is excellent. The narrator has a wonderful gift for making each character's voice unique without making it sound ridiculous as some do. Knowing the story and the characters makes listening more fun for me--I can't wait for the next chapter and the next challenge for Frodo and company. Gandolph sounds wonderful here, just as a wizard should and Boromir is slowly transformed into the man you don't want him to be. Altogether a really good listen for me and I have been reading these books for 30 years and have had beloved dogs named Frodo and Strider. So, I recommend this book for everyone--old fans like me all the way to those who are fisrt timers--you won't be disapointed.
Frodo of course--he is the embodiment of what all of us might be, little, scared, but determined to do the right thing.
Gandolph--best voice of them all.
As Bilbo said in the Hobbit--there and back again.
Just listen--it is a book and a story for the ages so don't miss it.
"Better than nothing"
I've been waiting for this title to come out for years. The story is excellent, but there are characteristics in the IMPLEMENTATION that leave things to be desired.
As expected those of us already familiar with the story won't be disappointed. It is quintessential high fantasy and sets the standard for all those coming after.
Probably not. The narration had, at some points, background noises bleeding through such as a door opening/closing etc. Also being what it is, there are a lot of songs / poetry in the work. I'm not going to criticize his singing voice (you try it) but I will say that when he does, he get's REALLY quiet which makes you turn up the volume to hear it. Then once he's done with the song / poem...he starts to read again...and your volume is cranked way up. This was probably the largest drawback I have found.
Yeah, get the next book.
OK for what it is, could be better. As far as I know this is the only UNABRIDGED non dramatized version of the story that Audible offers. Hope they make a better one in the future.
"So Great for Car Trips With Kids"
We have been reading this to the kids at home, but I downloaded it in preparation for a 5 hour car trip. It's great!! My husband and I are both avidly listening too, even though we've heard it many times before. A very nice job and listening experience.
Bilbo, of course.
Too long.
Don't know what I ever did without audible.
"Great listen"
When I listened to the sample for this book on Audible, I was a little worried. I thought the narrator's pace sounded too slow, and slightly odd. But once I bought it and listened to it, the book sounded great! He's a very good narrator, and it is slightly slower paced than some I've listened to, but it fits the book well. There were a few moments when the sound quality was wonky (I'm not sure how to describe it), but that was rare.
I've read this book many times, and it was the first time I've listened to it. Over all, definitely 5 stars!
"Amazing book"
I rally enjoyed reconnecting with this old favorite. A great read with good lessons and archetypes we can all apply to our daily lives
I'm an avid reader/listener who enjoys a well written book. I prefer sci-fi/fantasy,mystery/thriller/horror. King,Koontz,Butcher and Child are among my favs. (Scalzi is becoming one ).
Overall, very good. Story is a classic. While the narration was very good, I found it a bit slow.
Tolkien carefully populates the world he creates with this story
I must admit I prefer to read this rather than listen to it. It seemed a bit slow.
I think this is the kind of book where you listen for a bit and ponder what is happening
This really is a timeless classic
Its a very complex world that slowly unfolds as you listen to it.
I Liked it all and there is no way I can pick one part as the best.
He does a great job making each character have their personality and bringing each character to life so much more than if you just read it.
Yes I would have loved to listen to it all in one sitting but unfortunately that isnt possible for me with an 19 hour book.
In my opinion this was way better than reading the paper version or watching the movie.
"Epic Fantasy's Heritage"
I should start off by saying I am a huge fan of epic fantasy. The longer, and more epic, the better. And I believe The Lord of the Rings really gave birth to the genre.
If you are a fan of any fantasy genre, you should read or listen to these books. I hadn't until they were recently released on Audible, and must say I have mixed feelings. It was quite interesting to see some proto-forms of tools modern authors employ frequently, and this gives me better insight into how the modern authors work.
The story, to me, was a bit boring and too full of songs. The narrator does an excellent job singing the songs and reciting the poetry, and overall does a quite good job with the books.
I am glad the series is finally available on Audible so we can see where it all started with ease. I think anybody who enjoys Fantasy Novels should listen to The Lord of the Rings books - just don't expect them to blow you away.
Worth the credits? Absolutely. Worth the time? Probably. Best books ever? Unfortunately, no.
Admitted bibliophile and Harry Potter fanatic! I love listening to someone read me a story.
"I Love a Classic!"
This telling of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic story would have to rank in my top ten. The reader's voice is just awesome.
My favorite scene would have to be when they first meet Aragorn. Again, just the reader's voice is great.

Diversity is coming to the concrete industry. Fortunately, change is no longer measured in terms of numbers, but by influence. At a recent meeting of key industry leaders who came together to help draft a vision statement outlining concrete's role in creating a sustainable world, more than 1/3 were women.
One of these vision crafters was Professor Kristin Cooper-Carter. Her efforts to cast concrete construction as an environmentally friendly building resource has been one of her major accomplishments. Carter brings a welcomed presence to an industry that has been void of diversity in both gender and fresh ideas.
What's more exciting for our industry is that Carter is in a position to bring this vision to our next generation of industry professionals. In a few short years as the director of the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program at California State University, Chico, this educator has incorporated her zeal for the environment into the framework of one of our industry's CIM programs.
Her involvement in our industry is that of a user, rather than an engineer. Before her involvement with CIM, Carter had been the director of the college's Office of Environmental Programs and had served as project director on several environmental projects on and off campus for more than 12 years. She still holds the position. Thus, she is able to influence the gray world of concrete.
Carter draws inspiration from a quote by Mahatma Gandhi she has placed in the signature of her e-mails. It says, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Her actions back up this mantra.
Just look at what she has planned for herself at World of Concrete this month. In addition to speaking at our Women in Concrete luncheon, Carter plans to use the event as an educational experience for her students. She encourages them to visit booths and attend WOC educational seminars, and to use events like WOC to determine what fits best with their interests and talents.
One of Carter's successes in demonstrating concrete's sustainability has been installing a pervious walkway on her campus. Last year, she and her team proposed the project as part of an effort to certify local pervious contractors. Carter's students worked with campus staff and concrete contractors in the installation. The effort has worked so well, the university's facilities manager has used pervious in several more projects.
Carter and her department have turned CIM's success into a larger effort. With a $1.8 million grant from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the university now houses the California Pavement Preservation Center. The center will work with the Pavement Preservation Task Group, which is made up of members from Caltrans, the pavement industry, local agencies, and academia. These two programs will be instrumental in creating a foundation for the new school of Sustainability in the Build Environment.
For more on the CIM program, visit the university's Web site at www.csuchico.edu, and conduct a search on CIM.
"Women in Concrete" brings you stories about women who are making a difference in the concrete industry. Each month we will bring you profiles, studies, or surveys to show you the latest on women in the concrete industry. Send comments or ideas to Kari Moosmann email@example.com.
Kristin Cooper-Carter is committed to using concrete to help create a better world, through her involvement with the advocacy work group of the Strategic Development Council and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association.
One of her major research opportunities is constructing the Iron Canyon fish ladders, in which concrete will be used as a pathway for endangered salmon.
She is also developing a new textbook on concrete sustainability that she anticipates will be adopted by fellow CIM programs, civil engineering courses, and industry education efforts.

G-Unit member Lloyd Banks has expressed his indifference towards ex-Bad Boy artist Shyne's rap comeback, as well as stated his opinion on the rapper's new music.
From Banks' perspective, Shyne's new flow and sound doesn't reflect the caliber of work he was known for in the early 2000's.
"[Artists] that I'm not interested [in hearing again]? Probably Shyne," Banks said in an interview with DJ Nef-You. "I don't think anybody's too interested in hearing music from him because it doesn't sound like what we were used to hearing from him. His whole style, everything just switched up for me, so I'm definitely not excited to hear what he sounds like." (I Luv Lola)
Last month, Banks dismissed new music from Shyne and Game, labeling their latest records "wack".
"Wackest right now," Banks asked in an interview on A-List Radio. "Shyne, he's number one. I don't know [the name], it's featuring Biggie Smalls, rest in peace. He's disrespecting Biggie Smalls man. This record is the worst record, like the worst record…like, wack…I think Game's 'Shake' record, that was super wack. Umm…who else is wack right now? Just put Shyne, the new Shyne [in the list]. 'After Shyne Has Been Released,' Google that." (A-List Radio)
Banks previously talked about Shyne's new rhyming flow and voice.
"I'm telling you right now, it was something in the food or something, he's at a D-Class rapper right now. You know how the dude that wakes up and 'I'm a rap right now because my homie's doing it.' You don't hear it? What kind of style he's got right now? I'm not digging that right now…I didn't know what to think…" (Miss Info TV)
In August, Banks' boss, 50 Cent, pranked Shyne during a live Def Jam conference call.
"I'd like to speak with Shyne," Fif said while recording the session from an office desk. "My name is Sean, I'm right out on Radio One. I called right after Tim Westwood. I'd like to speak with Shyne. Yeah my question, is this Shyne? What's up, man. Everything's good. I was just wondering what is your real issue with 50? … The 50 sh*t with Shyne, I think that sh*t is a hoax! I think it's the way you try to gain attention in some ways because the n*gga ain't been f*cking with you for 15 years. You've been gone for 10 years so you couldn't have had no issues. Shut up n*gga! Shut up n*gga! Shut up, you're on a f*cking island! You can't go to war from a f*cking island! Shut the f*ck up! Shut up! F*ck Shyne! F*ck Def Jam! F*ck everybody! I don't care you went to jail! I hope you got raped by a pack of n*ggas!" (This Is 50)
