A "quick and spirited" dance for two by Saltator, Boston, 1802
Richard Powers
About the dance
(The reconstruction and a video are below.)
This is a rare example of a complete choreography from the beginning of the 19th century. The description is from Saltator's
, which is probably the earliest American dance manual. The Congo Minuet combines the figures of the minuet (facing and crossing over) with the intricate steps and faster tempo of country dancing. The description of this lively minuet precedes Saltator's description of a more traditional Minuet Grave. Above is the full description, from an original edition of the book in my collection.
Saltator did not explain the significance of "Congo," which has raised much speculation in recent years. But the term appears to have been well-known at the beginning of the 19th century, mentioned in John Davis's
, and also by Moreau de Saint-Méry and several other sources around the same time. Some wonder if Saltator documented a dance with an African or African American lineage, or perhaps this was merely a Boston dance master's interpretation of an often-heard dance genre. John Davis referred to it as a
of dance, not a specific title, when he wrote, "there was nobody that could face him at a Congo minuet; but Pat Hickory could tire him at a Virginia jig."
Saltator's mention of addressing bows "facing the company" implies that this choreography was intended to be an exhibition dance performed for an audience, possibly composed of peers, at a ball, or possibly performed professionally on stage.
The greatest strengths of this description are: 1) It seems to record the complete sequence, from opening salute to closing address, rather than simply offering an excerpt or abstraction; and 2) Each term in the description, without exception, is further explained elsewhere in Saltator's book. On the other hand, the step descriptions are rather vague, merely listing foot positions, with the frequent use of the term "hop." Furthermore, a foot position does not mention whether it is stepped with weight or pointed without weight, or whether it walks, glides, raises into the air, dips into plié, leaps, brushes, or closes to an assemblé.
The use of the term "hop" is different from today's definition, and is consistant with occasional 18th/19th century usage, merely implying that an elevation of the body occurs with a step, without specifying whether the elevation occurs before, during, or after the adjoining steps, or whether a hop is executed by itself. For example, using today's terminology, "Left foot 4th hop right foot 3rd" would imply that you step forward L, then hop on the L, then close R to 3rd position (three movements). But in the earlier tradition, this is more likely Saltator's way of stating that after stepping forward L, you should close R to 3rd
an elevated movement, such as a jeté or assemblé (for a total of two movements). Although Saltator does not specify step timing or passage duration, he does tell us how many movements are in each enchainement. The above example, occuring at the end of a passage, was specified as two movements, not three. This common cadence is therefore probably a step-assemblé, and prefigures the jeté-assemblé cadence of the later Regency era. A few decades later the "Hop Waltz" similarly meant an elevation during the first step of a waltz, which would later be called a jeté instead of "hop."
When Saltator calls for the dancers to chassé, it's tempting to interpret this as a single chassé step (step-close-step, 2 counts). However when investigating the use of this term throughout the entire choreography, it becomes clear that his usage of
actually means a chassé sequence (chassé–step–assemblé, 4 counts).
Most sections of this choreography fit 16 bars of music, as expected. However, the opening passage is shorter, implying that the dancers wait during the opening music before addressing the company. As an alternative to waiting, I suggest the option of advancing to starting places during the first 4 bars, perhaps in cadence to the music, as Thomas Wilson suggested doing before commencing French Waltzing. I would also support a reconstruction that does not add this advance.
Saltator's dance manual would have been based on the technique and traditions of the previous thirty years, rather than forshadowing the evolutionary changes of the Regency era. His choice of steps, their terms and spellings, and the patterns of enchainement are all similar to European dance manuals, dance dictionaries and cotillon collections dating from 1760 to 1800. Therefore the Congo Minuet is reconstructed using concordances and step descriptions from Gallini (1760s and 1770s), Magri (1779), Compan (1787) and Lefebvre (1792), rather than using sources dating from the following decades.

The Reconstruction
bold lines
quote the original description.
I. - Introduction
The gentleman places the lady on his right, facing the company
, and they walk forward 4 slow steps (pas marché), beginning on the outside foot. [8 quick counts]
They both make a salute to the company in the time of chassé
[4 counts]
• Step to 2nd away from partner; • close to 3rd; • lady pliés and man inclines; • rise.
See the note in the paragraphs above about
actually meaning a chassé sequence (chassé, step, assemblé).
They both make a chassé to the left side
[4 counts]
• Glide L to 2nd, close R to 3rd behind, glide L to 2nd; • close R to 3rd above; • assemblé L to 3rd above.
Note: The step before the assemblé is not a jeté.
The lady dances the allemain around in a circle to her place
[8 counts]
••• Three chassés fwd, beg. L foot; • step to 3rd; • assemblé, almost linking raised R arms as she encircles the man clockwise, who steps in place, or perhaps crosses L over R and pirouttes clockwise in place to accommodate her travel. Place free hand behind back, palm out.
Reconstruction note: The interpretation of "allemain" is influenced by illustrations from this time period, like the 1798 dancing couple at the top of this page, only four years before Saltator's book.
The gent follows and stops exactly opposite to his partner
[8 counts]
The man does the allemain CCW around the lady, linking raised L arms. (However beginning on his R foot makes a more satisfying step-assemblé.)
II. Chassé Rigadoon
Both chassé to the right side and rigadoon
(rigaudon). [4 counts each, 8 counts]
Chassé sequence as above, but to the right side. Then do a Rigaudon to the left side: Preparation: Plié in 3rd, L behind. • Spring up on R, extending L to 2nd, and land on R in plié, holding L in 2nd; • spring up on R again and close L to 3rd above, at the same time cutting the R out to 2nd; • close R to 3rd above without a spring; • assemblé L (around through 2nd) closing L to 3rd above.
Reconstruction note: Saltator's rigadoon is unusual among rigaudons of this period—an especially unsatisfying series of closings only to third position. One may feel free to dance this version, found in online descriptions of Saltator's book, but this reconstruction opts for the more satisfying mainstream rigaudon. It's a minor point, either way.
The same to the left.
Chassé sequence to the left side then rigadoon to the right side. [8 counts]
[8 counts]
Any individual balance step, "compounded ad infinitum, and may be graced with various flying movements of the feet... changes of attitude, half turns, and many other additions incapable of description, which can only be learnt by imitation, or the offspring of genius." Saltator's Balance suggestion has ten movements, beginning on the left foot.
His manual includes a description of a Pas de Basque ("Le Pas et Basque").
Suggested balance: one Pas de Basque (step side L, cross R over L, uncross; repeat opposite) then Balance en Carré (step or jeté forward L, side R, back L, assemblé R behind L).
Video note: In the video above (Angela Amarillas and Ken Delmar performing at the Smithsonian in 1993) their first balance is Glissades dessous and dessus (passing behind and in front) then turning jeté assemblé.
Change places
[4 counts]
Advance with 2 chassé steps, L and R, passing right shoulders.
[4 counts]
Cast off to the left with • L to the left side (2nd); • jeté R to 3rd before; • close L to 3rd above; • assemblé R 3rd above.
Saltator's Brisé is different from the later Regency era Brisé.
Video note: Ken enjoys doing a later style of Brisé.
Chassé rigadoon to the right; the same to the left
[16 counts]
The same as above.
[8 counts]
Possibly use a second balance step. Suggested balance: He does chassé L fwd passing her R shoulder, 2 glissades side R as if a dos-a-dos; turns right and chasse R, glissade dessous L then assemblé. She does Pas de Basques L & R, Balance en Carré L, all in place.
Change places, and brisé
[8 counts]
The same as above.
III. Contretems Pirouette
Le contretems to the right side and pirouette
[4 counts each]
Le Contretems, the cross steps: • Close L to 3rd behind; • glide R to 2nd; • L 3rd behind; • R to 2nd; • L 3rd behind; • R to 2nd; • L 3rd behind.
La Pirouette, the turning round: • Assemblé R to 3rd behind (passing through 2nd); • pirouette to the right on both toes; • jeté on R in place; • jeté L before.
Note: "pirquette" in the original description is no doubt a typographical error, perhaps a typesetter picking the wrong character. "Pirouette" is spelled correctly when Saltator describes the step in detail.
The same to the left
[8 counts]
Contretems to the left side and pirouette.
Le balance vivant
[8 counts]
Any individual balance step. Saltator's Balance Vivant suggestion has 13 movements, beginning on the left foot.
Suggested balance: a casting off version of what the gentleman did before, beginning L and casting over the left shoulder.
Change places, brisé
[8 counts]
The same as above.
IV. Chassé Rigadoon, to both sides, again
Exactly that—repeat Part II, perhaps with different balance steps.
The exhibition version can skip this repeat of Part II, as in the video.
V. "Then to the right, back to the left"
This possibly means do the Contretems Pirouette again, since that's next after the repeated Chassé Rigadoon, but it's unclear. The exhibition version skips this.
VI. Conclusion
Meet, give both hands and demicircinate
[8 counts]
Advance to meet partner with the chassé sequence L, offering both hands. Then turn half-round in a circle, to the right (although this could be to the left) with the chassé sequence.
Chassé to the first place where the figure commenced
[4 counts]
Face the company and do the chassé sequence to the right side.
Address the company.
[4 counts]

The Wolfpack, coached by Matt Lindland and based in Portland, Oregon, and Pitbulls, coached by Renzo Gracie and based in New York, won their 2007 International Fight League debuts in front of 5,057 at The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga. UFC veteran Robbie Lawler defeated Brazilian upstart Eduardo Pamplona by TKO in the Superfight which followed the team competition.
The Wolfpack topped the Dragons, coached by Carlos Newton, 3-2, while the Pitbulls subdued the Red Bears, trained by Igor Zinoviev, by a 4-1 margin. The victory moved the Pitbulls into first place after the first round of IFL competition.
The Atlanta card marked the first event in the Southwest for the IFL , the world's first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, and is part of the full 11-event IFL 2007 schedule, the most comprehensive advance schedule in the history of fight sports.
Waggney Fabiano started the Dragons off on the right foot with a first-round choke-out of fellow lightweight Ian Loveland. The light heavyweights were up next, with John Krohn evening the score by out-pointing Wojtek Kaszowski via unanimous decision. Middleweight Matt Horwich put the Wolfpack ahead by submitting Brent Beauparlant with a kimura in the second round. Welterweight Mike Dolce secured the victory for the Wolfpack by knocking out local product Jim Abrille with a spectacular flurry of shots just 19 seconds into the first round. Rafael Feijao won the heavyweight matchup, scoring a second-round TKO of Devin Cole for the final 3-2 count.
Next, Erik Owings grounded-and-pounded Peter Kaljevic before choking out his lightweight opponent to stake the Pitbulls to a 1-0 advantage against the Red Bears. Delson Heleno made it 2-0 in favor of the Pitbulls with a convincing unanimous decision over Mark Millerw in the welterweight bout. Then, middleweight Fabio Leopoldo took out Chris Albandia via submission in the first round to clinch the Pitbulls' win. Tim Kennedy got the Red Bears on the board with a solid triumph over Dante Rivera, via submission in the second round. Bryan Vetell pushed the final margin to 4-1 with a heavyweight triumph over Mo Fowzi, gaining the first-round submission by keylock.
The IFL is the world's first team-based professional mixed martial arts league. Each of the 12 IFL teams for 2007 have completed the first of their three respective regular season events; the teams with the top four overall win-loss team records will advance to the semi-finals, which will be held on Thursday, August 2, at Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, N.J. The 2007 IFL Finals will then be held at The Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday, September 15.
The IFL next moves to The Forum in Los Angeles, where the Condors, coached by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legend Marco Ruas, take on the Sabres, coached by Japanese world-class trainer and bodybuilder Ken Yasuda, and the Razorclaws, coached by MMA champion Frank Shamrock, battle the Anacondas (Los Angeles), coached by MMA champion Bas Rutten.
The 10 venues for the 2007 season will scale to between 7,000 and 13,000 seats, which has been consistent with the IFL's plan of managed growth.

Trading Places: The week's biggest moves
Financial News presents a round-up of the week's top hires and job switches in the financial services industry.
• Moves of the week
Societe Generale
Societe Generale has made two senior hires to its Hong Kong trading team as the bank continues to build out its global cash equities platform.
Marcus Consolini, most recently head of electronic execution sales and trading for JP Morgan Asia, joined the French bank in mid-February as head of electronic sales and trading for Asia Pacific reporting to Stephane Loiseau, head of cash equities for Asia Pacific.
Consolini joins in a newly created role which forms part of Societe Generale's broader push to build out its electronic execution platform for institutional clients in the region.
Consolini left JP Morgan in October following a reshuffle at the firm's electronic trading business, as reported by Financial News. He did not respond to a LinkedIn request for comment.
Andrew Lee, most recently an executive at international agency brokerage BTIG in Hong Kong, joined Societe Generale's Asia sales-trading desk this month to cover long-only and hedge funds for Asia equities. He reports to Ken Taheny, head of sales trading for Asia-Pacific at Societe Generale, according to an individual familiar with the hire.
Lee, who has also held roles at HSBC and interdealer broker GFI, according to the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission register, could not be reached for comment.
A spokeswoman for Societe Generale confirmed the hires.
Aviva Investors
Aviva Investors' chief investment officer Shahid Ikram, below, has left the firm as part of the company's recent business review.
He left in December, according to a person familiar with the situation. Ikram could not be reached for comment.
Jean-Francois Boulier has since taken the role of chief investment officer of fixed income in addition to his role as chief executive of Aviva Investors Europe, the person said. He will be tasked with the development of the global fixed-income team.
It remains unclear who has taken on responsibility for the equity side of Ikram's remit.
Ikram held the role of CIO for just under two years. He was head of sovereign debt and absolute return at Aviva Investors between January 2007 and March 2012.
Peter Kiernan, the former Lazard rainmaker who joined Hawkpoint two years ago ahead of the takeover of its parent by Canaccord Genuity, has been handed a board role at the Canadian brokerage's UK subsidiary, where he is chairman of European investment banking.
Kiernan joined a previously six-strong board at Canaccord Genuity Limited, the UK broking and advisory arm of the Canadian group, as a director on February 4, according to a filing at Companies House.
Kiernan is a former head of UK investment banking and managing director at Lazard who had been in line for the role of director general of the Takeover Panel before withdrawing his candidacy in the wake of Kraft Foods' controversial takeover of Cadbury in 2010. He left Lazard in summer 2011 and re-emerged roughly six months later as a vice-chairman of corporate finance advisory firm Hawkpoint.
He joined Canaccord Genuity, which was called Canaccord Financial until last year, when the firm completed its takeover of Collins Stewart Hawkpoint, the broking parent of Hawkpoint.
Kiernan remains chairman of European investment banking.

Posted: September 7, 2012
A few years ago, Dee Ann Powell was down on her luck and worrying about how she would provide for her daughter. Today, she's on the road to bright and promising future in the respiratory field.
In December, Powell will earn an associate's degree in respiratory technology from Bowling Green State University through Lorain County Community College's University Partnership.
"LCCC and The University Partnership have changed my life," Powell said. "I now look forward to a great career."
After a divorce in 2008, Powell and her daughter moved from California to Brunswick, near where Powell grew up. With no job and hiring freezes everywhere she looked, Powell wasn't sure what to do. That's when a friend introduced her to the Midpoint Campus Center in Brunswick. However, enrolling in college was not what Powell had in mind for herself.
"I thought there was no way that I could go to college. I thought, 'I'm too old. I'm a single mom. I don't have the money to go, and I'm definitely not smart enough,'" Powell recalled.
An encounter at Midpoint Campus Center changed all that. Powell tagged along with her friend to run errands one day and Midpoint Campus Center was on the list. While in the lobby, Powell struck up a conversation with the women working the desk, who encouraged Powell to enroll.
"I gave them all my reasons about why I could not be a college student," Powell said. "They had an answer to each one of my excuses and before I knew it, I was filling out paper work, taking the placement test and registering for courses."
Powell took several LCCC courses at Midpoint Campus Center, taking advantage of classes close to home. She excelled in her coursework and was named to the Dean's List each semester. She then enrolled in the respiratory care program through LCCC's University Partnership and is looking forward to earning an associate's degree.
"Midpoint Campus Center was the right start for me. From the wonderful, caring staff to the state of the art classrooms, to the endless opportunities, it was the best choice for me."
Though the path has not always been easy, Powell said, it has been worth it to show her daughter the importance of education and hard work.
"As a single mom, I'm proud to have set a great example for my daughter and showed her that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible," Powell said.
For more information on LCCC programs available at Midpoint Campus Center, visit http://www.midpointcampus.com/.

PRESS RELEASEfrom the Office of State Senator Craig Estes, District 30
For Immediate ReleaseMarch 21, 2007Contact: Jody Withers (512) 463-0130
Senate committee passes Estes' bill for Silver Star license plates
AUSTIN -- The Senate Committee on Transportation took public testimony and passed Senate Bill 274 by Senator Craig Estes (Wichita Falls-R) to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation to issue a special Silver Star license plate.
"We can never do too much to honor the heroes in our communities, and these are small tokens of our appreciation to those who serve and have served in our military," said Estes. "I am very pleased that the Senate Transportation Committee passed this bill without reservation."
Two Silver Star recipients from Senate District 30 traveled to Austin to testify in favor of the bill. Kenneth Gibbons of Weatherford and Mike Davis of Pilot Point both received a Silver Star for actions against the enemy during the Vietnam War, and testified before the Senate Transportation Committee.
"I want to thank Mr. Gibbons and Mr. Davis for their service to our country, and for their support of this bill," said Estes.
Senate Bill 274 was passed without opposition and recommended favorably to the whole Senate for the Uncontested Calendar. After passage by the Senate, the bill will be referred to the House for consideration and passage.
The Silver Star is the third highest award designated for heroism during direct combat against enemy forces, and was first awarded in 1932. Senate Bill 274 would allow Silver Star recipients or their surviving spouses to be issued the special plates for a nominal fee consistent with other military plates provided by the Texas Department of Transportation.

Mythmakers and world builders of the first order, the Eddingses spin tales that make imaginations soar. Listeners have thrilled to The Belgariad and The Malloreon, magic-filled masterworks chronicling the timeless conflict between good and evil. But with those sagas brought to their triumphant conclusions, fans were left hungry for more. Now at last the wait is over. With The Redemption of Althalus, the Eddingses have created their first-ever stand-alone epic fantasy....
It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor.
Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness. On his way to steal The Book from the House at the End of the World, Althalus is confronted by a cat - a cat with eyes like emeralds, the voice of a woman, and the powers of a goddess. She is Dweia, sister to The Gods and a greater thief even than Althalus. She must be: for in no time at all, she has stolen his heart. And more. She has stolen time itself. For when Althalus leaves the House at the End of the World, much wiser but not a day older than when he'd first entered it, thousands of years have gone by.
But Dweia is not the only one able to manipulate time. Her evil brother shares the power, and while Dweia has been teaching Althalus the secrets of The Book, the ancient God has been using the dark magic of his own Book to rewrite history. Yet all is not lost. But only if Althalus, still a thief at heart, can bring together a ragtag group of men, women, and children with no reason to trust him or each other. Boldly written and brilliantly imagined, The Redemption of Althalus is an epic fantasy to be savored in the listening and returned to again and again for the wisdom, excitement, and humor that only the Eddingses can provide.
©2000 David Eddings and Leigh Eddings (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
Fantasy Fanatic.
"The Eddings do it again"
Some of the best fantasy writing I've ever read. They put so much LIFE into the characters of all their books.
Cut out most of it. Lots of pointless, boring scenes.
They seemed to have a format for all their stories, and they followed the same format which makes all the stories sound alike with only names changed. They needed to break out of their self-imposed box.
Althalus is supposed to be an illiterate, yet good natured thief but his voice is that of an aristocrat, bad Scottish accent for another set of people, and a third group who sound as though they came from Transylvania.
"Finally a decent narrator for an eddings book!"
I've read it several times before - it's a great book - I bought the audiobook for fun. The other books by Davide Eddings I have on audio have pretty poor narration - this one jumps up to being a good job.
This is a book of really getting to know the characters and seeing the ensemble interact, it's one of the things Eddings does best and it's showcased very nicely here.
Nothing was disturbing or annoying in the performance, which is a good thing. There are a few narrators who actually enhance a book, I wouldn't say that about this one, but it doesn't detract either.
"The story is amazing"
Althalus is a thief, but in the end he is a hero. how does this happen, easy when the gods use you as the champion.
Althalus has the greatest luck being a theif, that is until he decides to look at civilization and his luck sours, we all have off days after all. but when he comes home his luck stays bad. after visiting his friends and relaxing a stranger comes in and offers him a easy job. or so we though.
the Eddings team does it again but this time writing it all in one book. the growth, challenges and dilemmas come together
I did not like the performance of Dennis Holland, he does not have the range of vocal talent needed. all you can do to tell the difference between the ladies is the horrible accent and the cadence of there speech. the men where not much better. It made it hard to enjoy a great piece of work
"Too Easy for Althalus"
There seems to be no real problems for the heroes of the story. They just go along, and everything is either provided, or just works out fine. Nobody causes them any real trouble and anything they need they just get. It's all too easy and becomes boring. I unfortunately got so bored that I stopped partway through the book. Maybe it became more interesting later?
I've really enjoyed other Eddings' novels - I read through the Belgariad and the Ruby Knight series, and what I really enjoyed was how there was difficulty and then how that difficulty was overcome.
Give Althalus some problems. At least make him hunt food and cook it, or go hungy instead of just saying, "beef" and having cooked beef appear.
I enjoyed the vocal variety for the different charactars.
I didn't actually get all the way through.
"Worst written book I have ever seen"
The level of writing and the story are awful. I enjoyed previous books but this was a poor effort
Bad story, poorly developed characters, no conflict, bad dialogue, repetitive to the point it was distracting and pointless
He didn't stand a chance with such poor material. The story was painful to listen to and some of the accents and character depictions were very bad
"Better than expected"
I have loved the book for many years. I have several of Endings other books and really like that narrator. This narrator is just as good his voices add so much to the story. I can see the story in my head as he reads it!
"Love this book and the varying voices were great"
Every different country had an accent and the narrator kept up with the accents all the way through. Great story as well
"the joy of a good story"
David Eddings taught me the joy of reading. Reading when I was growing up was a punishment. I hated it. I wasn't really good at it. I went through the motions. never comprehending or putting together the story.
I never knew a good book could take you away from where ever you were.
now I have just got hooked on audio books. I love it while I'm working.
thank you thank you thank you.
I only wish I learned the joy sooner.
"Horrificly distracting accents"
I am a fan of David/Leigh Eddings books. They are the books that got me reading as an adult. They do follow a formula and the same characters and even lines can be found in all their books (including their non-fantasy books), but all are enjoyable. I don't think I would listen to another one because, quite honestly, this audio book ruined the story for me and I wouldn't want to take the chance of ruining more.
I would recommend READING the book, but I cannot stress enough how strongly I recommend avoiding this audio version. The narration parts are fine, but this story is heavy on dialogue and ALL the accents used for dialogue are so horrific that at times it is painful to listen to. It really detracts from the story. There is one character in particular who is supposed to have a vibrant voice and the narrator uses this ridiculously bad Transylvanian accent. It is worse than a 'B' vampire movie. I kept waiting for her to say "I vant to drink your blood, blah, blah blah!" Yes, it is that bad. All the accents are just awful and distracting. I really wonder what the narrator was thinking.
ANYONE. Maybe Alan Cummings? I don't know.
Huge disappointment overall. Annoyance with the distracting accents, sadness at how it negatively affected my memories of this book :,(
Do yourself a favour and don't waste your credit on this one.
Love Eddings in general, but this stand-alone is just a tad more awesome than most of his other books.
It's funny as heck too :-)
"I remember the other version as better"
I got this audiobook thinking it was the original version I had years ago, sadly lost. Ok so the narrator is better he didn't instill the Norse esque feeling I got from the other narrator who inisisted on talking in a funny pretend Norse accent for allof the characters. Personal opinion only
The actual story
yes.he wasn't bad except for his Scottish ish accent
"a hackneyed and pedestrian tale."
I am a great fan of Devid Eddings and was looking forward to re- entering his world but something has happened to his writing in the last 10 years . The writing is good and easy to read as you would expect, but where are the characters, where are the plots and sub plots- I managed 6 hours of this tale before giving up - the first audio book I have not been able to finish. I have 3 reasons for this. I. The tale is simple and linear with no surprises and progresses at a very slow snails pace. The main character is locked in a house for thousands of years and it really felt like it! You have to care about the main character fo engage in the tale of his life but he is a hackneyed stereotype cobbled together from previous stories. Finally the narator is to scottish accents what dick van dyke is to cockeys!!.. I cannot recommend this book and am disappointed I contributed to its No 1 bestseller strap line.
"A series in itself"
Eddings is one of my favourite authors, but Althalus is by far the most fun of all the works. It's effectively a series within a single book, and has the freshness present in the Belgariad, but combined with the depth of the Younger Gods. Lots of fun, full of interesting characters.
The biblical-style passages are fun.
Audio books in general allow you to work whilst reading. Awesome!
"Creative, Magical, A must read"
Yes I love the story line although in parts the narrator is a little boring, and seem to lose interest
The bit when he find the house at the edge of the world and starts to learn the truth
not completely it took me two days in parts the narrator seem to make me feel he was not interested in reading this book but having read it myself and loving Eddings others I wanted to hear it through
Worth a listen
"Well worth a listen but ended week"
Yes love his books
Once the power comes about after waiting long for it nothing that cool gets achieved and ther seems no fallow up
No but was a good performance
Yes definitely was a grate story just devastating that once that rise to power 5 min later it's all over defo a clash between furden and Thayer powers and the alantrayans
"amazing story, very averagely told."
the plot of this book is second to none, but the narrator users rather dodgy accents to differentiate beten characters and it does soul the immersion slightly. i would recommend reading this book first, then listening to the audio book.
"A good read and now on audio"
Compelling read ~ hard to put down ditto with the audio version
Emmy - of course - keep em guessing at all times - I love it!
"Good Story, adequate narrator."
The headline says it all but if I am to expand upon it I would probably say this:
I read this story once when I was a child and loved it, coming back to now about 15 years later, I find it to be an old friend I'd lost.
Yes, the writing and story is somewhat simple but it is a good simple that invite most minds to listen.
The narrator on the other hand have this strange french sounding accent for most characters, it's not that much of a bother but from time to time my mind grabbed on to it and it was like an itch you can't reach.
Other than that he performed well giving most characters an easily distinguishable voice most of them feeling quite fitting.
"incredible story"
amazing story but the narrator could have been better a little more emotion would have helped
"Not as good as I remember."
I loved this book when I was younger. Thinking it was a complex weaving of mythos and theology. Listening now I just found it a bit childish and hollow. I repect the Performer for his attempt. but there are a lot of characters and it would have benefitted from the use of multiple actors rather then one chap straining his somwhat limited repartee of accents. I found his rendition of the female characters to be somewhat over femenised and he sometimes slips from one characters lines to anothers while accidentally maintaining the same accent.

In 2005 Fossett became the first person to fly an airplane around the world solo without stopping or refueling. Piloting the GlobalFlyer, a specialized plane that featured 13 fuel tanks and a 7-foot (2-metre) cockpit, he took off from Salina, Kansas, on February 28 and returned there some 67 hours later, on March 3.

Comments: Purchased my second pair of Brooks Glycerin's. This time I bought the 9's. Excited to have the shoe again. Mu first pair G; glycerin 8's were terrific. Looking forward to my new 9's. I train for half marathon's and the Glycerin holds up very well. Much better than my New Balance 1080's. (For reference I am 72 inches 206 pounds)
From: Mark, St. Louis, MO, USA
Comments: Purchased my Glycerin primarily because I liked the looks of the shoe. Little did I know that the Glycerin would be as comfortable and cushy as it is. The Trance has nothing on the Glycerin. There is more flex in the Glycerin than the Trance. I am a teacher and my feet thank me every day I wear these Brooks shoes.
From: Al, Round Rock, TX, USA
Comments: After ~100mi, I can say that the Glycerin 9's are pretty nice. I replaced the stock insoles with Superfeet Blue, which they accommodate seamlessly. Nice, smooth feel -- not squishy like some Nike Lunar models I've tried, but not hard either. You get great cushioning but still retain some road feel. They aren't the lightest shoes out there, but they otherwise don't make themselves noticeable whether you're going short, long, slow or fast. (For reference, I'm 6'1", 175 pounds, mid- to rear-foot strike; low arches but neutral ankles.)

The classic elegance of Carolina Herrera took to the New York Fashion Week runway on Monday with dresses, evening gowns and outfit combinations inspired by an adaptation of Beethoven's Kreuzer Sonata.
The fall-winter collection by the Venezuela-born designer was fashioned from a modern take on Beethoven that she commissioned British composer Tom Hodge to create for the runway show.
With veteran Spanish fashion-show DJ Javier Peral as adviser, the result was "Capriccio for Carolina," a New Age remix of the original romantic classicism.
Herrera said it was "perfect" the first time she heard it. "It's perfect because it starts soft, and then it goes in crescendo. Just like I'm trying to do with the show. Soft looks at the beginning and then crescendo! All the drama. Then there's romance. Then there is melancholia."
The models strutted Herrera's elegant stuff before a number of famous guests including Spanish actress Paz Vega and Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald.
The 74-year-old Herrera said there are still "tons of things" she wants to do.
"I have thousands of projects and there are so many things I want to do, but I'm not saying what they are so they'll actually happen," she said to avoid giving any details. EFE

Help Needed Serving Christmas Dinner to Binghamton Residents
One of my greatest Christmas memories of growing up was when, as a family, we'd load up the car with Christmas dinners and deliver them to people who otherwise wouldn't have a special meal or when we'd help serve up Christmas dinner to those who couldn't afford to make a meal of their own.
Maybe you're looking to start a tradition like that with your kids? If so, you'll want to get in touch with Bill Bandera by calling 607-232-7098.
Since 1989, the Bandera family has been serving meals to our community on Christmas day. What started as 69 meals has surpassed 4,000 and the Bandera family could really use some help. As a matter of fact, they're looking for volunteers to help with the dinners.
This year, the Bandera family is expanding their free dinner to Endicott- so, there will be two locations where our community can enjoy a Christmas meal on Christmas day.
The first location is: the American Legion Post 80 at 76 Main Street in Binghamton. The second location is: the Boys and Girls Club in Endicott will be the site of a second dinner on Christmas Day.

Romare Bearden Revealed
Marsalis Music
Branford Marsalis' latest session is both a celebration of an incredible artistic genius, Romare Bearden, and a marvelous salute to African-American musical heritage and tradition. It's also another indication that Marsalis was right to desert the corporate wars and go the independent route. This disc's nine cuts have a joyous, emphatic quality that was seldom approached on Marsalis' final Columbia releases. There's nothing clinical in his tone or sound, nor anything rote in his or anyone else's solos. Marsalis' playing reflects the passion and confidence of an improviser thoroughly immersed in each composition.
Several guest stars join the basic quartet of pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts. The CD's freewheeling, updated version of Wynton Marsalis' "J Mood" features the brothers dueling above vivid support from the quartet. The new treatment sounds much richer, and it's more enjoyable than the 1986 original. The Marsalis sibs have another exciting set of exchanges on "Laughin' and Talkin' (With Higg)." Guitarist Doug Wamble adds spice to "I'm Slappin' Seventh Avenue" and contributes a flickering, jaunty solo number, "Autumn Lamp." Harry Connick Jr.'s piano phrasing "Carolina Shout" has the evocative quality and driving force that made his early records so delightful.
Branford Marsalis' soprano sax efforts on Romare Bearden Revealed deserve special mention. "B's Paris Blues" is his tribute to Sidney Bechet, and he designs his solo not only to re-create the period but also to recall Bechet's tone, articulation and style. Indeed, the entire disc not only honors the giants of African-American culture, it spotlights a current jazz master who's now playing better than ever.

P.A. Asian Food Store serves more than just Asian taste buds.
© Herald photo by KJ Dakin
P.A. Asian Food Store owner, Liza Austria is in the midst of tearing down walls as she expands her store on 13 Street West. Despite the name, her store aims to serve all the Ethnic minorities in the city bringing in food from Africa, Latin America, India, Asia, Burma and more.
Liza Austria opened her store at 26 13th St. W., in October of 2011 and is now expanding it to twice its size.
"When I opened it was just half of this," Austria said and pointed to the recently torn down drywall between the new space and the old.
"My objective was to cater not only Asian food but cater to all the ethnic groups in P.A."
Over the years, Austria noticed the increase in multiculturalism in Prince Albert and that the shopping options were not meeting the demand.
"I realized these people also need to be catered (to) also," she said.
"If I'm excited to see food from my homeland, I'm sure they would (be) too."
"I talked to different ethnic groups, and then I asked them what their needs are," she said.
The kaleidoscope of Prince Albert has changed a great deal since she came here in 1999.
"We are about nearly 2,000 Filipinos now. When I first came here there were only 54," she said.
She is beginning to see the fruits of her efforts as customers make her their go-to stop in the North, with people coming from all over Prince Albert and the surrounding areas, including Nipawin and Melfort and beyond.
"Instead of them going to Saskatoon, they do all of their shopping here, " Austria said.
Austria is not new to owning her own business. She came to Canada as a live-in care-giver and with her savings she bought a house and began her own care-home, Liza's Personal Care Home, which she still owns.
Then she opened a small restaurant on Central Avenue called Fiesta Manila, which she ran until opening the grocery store instead.
"I noticed that I had more Canadian patrons in the restaurant rather than Filipino – because they all can cook – but what was missing was the ingredients that they use," she said.
"Well if they can cook than they need the ingredients," Austria said.
"I realized that there was more need for this," she said.
"If I'm excited to see food from my homeland, I'm sure they would (be) too."
However she hasn't abandoned the restaurant idea as, along with the extension of her current store, she intends to open a small café in the back with a daily-featured meal.
The café should be running by May or June of 2013.
Being a grocer is much more than a job for Austria. She loves meeting all the people in the community, both those new to Canada and those born here who just enjoy a little bit of a foreign pallet.
"For me it's not work here. I really enjoy it … it's the visiting that I really enjoy here and people getting to know each other," she said.
Austria hopes to bring in people of different backgrounds to hold cooking sessions for those who would like to learn how to make another culture's cuisine.
"I think it's about time for P.A. to have something like this."
The store also carries dry goods such as cooking utensils, ornaments, cookbooks and beauty products.
Austria gets a lot of support from the community, both Canadian and foreign-born.
"People like to travel. And then when they come back here they look for the food that they tried in Mexico," she said.
"Some Mexican products, it was the Canadians that asked for me to bring them in."
Austria recalls when local business-owner Malcolm Jenkins came in the door on the hunt for a particular thing.
"He came here and was looking for pickled mangos. And he was so excited," she said.
As she expands the store she intends to bring in a greater variety of foods and especially to reflect the city's changing population with more products for East Indians, Africans and Burmese people.
"I want the other (ethnic groups) to feel that they belong in the community."
