September 9th: Galler Cointreau / Grand Marnier
Despite working in a bar for well over a year during my University days, I wasn't all that sure what either of these spirits were, so I consulted my 'go-to' resource Wikipedia for further details:
Cointreau: "is a brand of triple sec liqueur, and is produced in Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, a suburb of Angers, France." (For more See HERE)
Grand Marnier: "is a liqueur created in 1880 by Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. It is made from a blend of true cognacs and distilled essence of bitter orange. Grand Marnier is 40% alcohol (80 proof)." (For more See HERE)
Both these bars came in the standard 70.0g Galler filled bar size which were split in to the four over sized chunked blocks. As you will see in my photos below, both were up to the usual impeccable Galler presentation standards, with the fillings and outer chocolates nicely contrasting in colour tones to make some impactful looking products.

"White chocolate with Cointreau filling"
This chocolate created a great aesthetic impact with it's crisp looking outer chocolate and plentiful dark coloured filling. The exterior white chocolate that coated the inner truffle centres was everything I was expecting it to be, and was just as high in quality as all the other Galler white chocolate bars I have experienced before. It was thick and soft in melt, and released the most gorgeous double cream like flavours as soon as it entered the mouth. During the latter stages of the melt the white chocolate introduced a brief flirtation of vanilla, though it had an abrupt end as the milk chocolate boozie filling well and truly came to the party. The richer tasting centre had stronger cocoa inclinations, however it was the Cointreau flavours that really took hold of the taste. The alcohol flavours were finely balanced and were neither too strong or too weak for my liking. The rest of my family commented at how they liked the slight warmth the Cointreau filling brought to the mouth and how it left a long lasting alcohol note in the mouth.

"Dark chocolate with Grand Marnier filling"
I have to say I have never tried Grand Marnier in my lifetime so it was lucky I had a few reinforcements at hand to help me judge this one. If I start with the outer dark chocolate, what more can I say about Galler's capabilities in this area!? Once again the 60% recipe was totally delicious and provided a gloriously rich set of smokey cocoa flavours as soon as it entered my mouth. The melt as ever was utterly divine, slowly melting away to reveal a spongier, lighter textured centre to the moister truffle like filling of the Cointreau bar above. Indeed, the Grand Marnier filling had more of fondant feel about it, though it wasn't as sugary or grainy feeling as the likes of anything like Fry's etc. Taste wise some members of my family commented that it wasn't boozie enough for them, however the lack of alcoholic kick worried me very little and I just enjoyed the zesty hints of orange that were on offer. The aftertaste wasn't as long or as rich as the Cointreau, but personally speaking I enjoyed the taste just as much.
8.3 out of 10
Overall these alcohol themed bars were every bit as good as the other options I have tried from Galler's filled bars range, and I would happily recommend either to anyone that enjoys the two spirits that have been focused on today. Compared to some other manufacturers (I'm looking directly at you Hotel Chocolat!!) the alcohol content and effect on the taste was just about right for my liking. Especially in the Cointreau bar, all members of my family agreed that the influence the spirit had on the chocolate was just about spot on, the Grand Marnier probably could have done with a little bit of an extra alcohol kick to it, but the juicy orange flavours were delicious nonetheless and complimented the dark chocolate exterior quite wonderfully. If you enjoy alcohol flavoured chocolates then these are both very worthy of a look at.

I was aware of what cointreau was but I hadn't ever heard of the other one before. I do sort of fancy trying an organe liqueur chocolate now you mention it though. It might offer something a little different to just a plainer orange flavoured one.

My Mum loves Grand Marnier. Ive never seen the attraction of it personally but if I was to buy here some chocolates now I would have to consider getting her a bar of that to feed her obsession.
What made you decide to do both of them in the one review? Im not complaining or anything.

Excellent reviews Jim. Like I said to you yesterday I'm not interested by alcohol flavoured chocolates that much but I still love reading what you have to say about them. If your not a big fan of them yourself these are doing to have to be have been very good for you to rate them so highly. Thanks.
- September 09, 2010
I still don't like the wrappers that much but I do see what you mean about the chocolate always looking well class.
Their white chocolates look very nice with the dark fillings IMO. - September 09, 2010
Yuck why would anyone choose to spoil decent chocolate with cheap tasting spirits like these. Cointreau is for dinosaurs.
- September 09, 2010
Good stuff, I do learn something new every day from this site. Lol I didn't have the foggiest what either of these two spirits were all about. Cheer for the extra information about them, Wikipedia saves your life doesn't it :-)
- September 09, 2010
Grand marnier is gorgeous I cant believe you had never heard of it. Seriosuly you should try the drink asap, it is what I always drink when I go out now. I do swap my drinks around but I always have my fair share of them. Brill reviews sweetie x
Dx - September 09, 2010
Geeze Jim you have either been very generous with your scoring of things this week or you have been trying some nice tasting chocolates.
Nothing all week has got below an 8!!! I trust they must just be uber good lol. - September 09, 2010
I really fancy the GM one. It looks/sounds exactly my sort of chocolate. I get what you mean about their not being any fondant chocolates apart from Frys. I dont like the chocolate they use with Frys so options for me are rather limited. One day I will give this a try Ive promised myself now.
- September 09, 2010
2 for 1 I like it.
Before I saw this I would have told you I was more interested in their white chocolates vs their dark but now this grand marnier one has me thinking differently. If you offered me the choice of trying one of them I think I would go for the orangey one now. - September 09, 2010
- Emma said...
Ahhhh there are too many chocolates I want to try I have to stop reading your site right now :( I was reading your site during my lunch break the other day and your Lindt review made the penguin bar in my lunch box seem all the more crappy. You really seem to know and be able to appreciate fine chocolate. I find it so unfair you get to try so many remarkable things.
- September 09, 2010
Jim you always rate Galler chocolate so highly its getting hard to know which ones you think are the best out of them all.
If you had to choose one that you think has been the best so far which would it be and why? - September 09, 2010
It is a major failing of mine that I am still yet to try any chocolates from Galler. Im awfully confused what of theirs to try out first now. Everything you seem to review from these seems to be of the highest quality whether it be dark, white or milk chocolate. At least I have a wide range to choose from and not just a few good ones.
- September 09, 2010
I love the clearness of your pictures and being able to see the inside of the chocolate bars? How do you get them all looking the same? Do you have a studio to do all these in?
- September 09, 2010
I loved the reviews mate but seriously you have got to stop giving away such high scores. I keep having to add things to my list of chocolates that I have to buy. Its getting hellaciously long at the moment lol. Thanks again.
- September 09, 2010
- Mysterio6_19 said...
Are you sure these are as good as you say or are you just being nice about Galler because they send you them for free? LOL Im only playing with you.
I dont like booze of any sort so I wouldn't ever have these. More dark chocolate again ewwwwwwww. - September 09, 2010
Those chunks look really big still. Have you asked them why they make them so big? They must be like 15g each if they come split in to 4. That is way to big when you compare it to something like a cadburys bar which is 40g split in to 6.
- September 09, 2010
Oh great just another two more chocolates I want to try after the other four this week already. Lol I totally see what Duncan is talking about I will have to stop looking on here soon.
If you offered my a drink of either of these two I would choose the cointreau. If we are talking chocolate on the other hand I more fancy the orange one I think. - September 09, 2010
- Nigel said...
Brilliant reviews again Jim thank you for covering off another from my list I provided you with.
Do you have any clue when or if you are planning to do one of the biscuit type they make. It is the one bar of theirs I am desperate to hear how good it is. Im sitting on ordering one of them (if its good lol) and also a few others. - September 09, 2010
Apologies again for saying this Jim but it is the prices of these that really put me off buying any of these chocolates. As good as you make them sound it is very hard justifying paying nearly £3 for just one of these single chocolate bars.
If I was rich I wouldn't think it was an issue because they sound very tasty. - September 09, 2010
Lol it made me laugh that you have seen both of these spirits for fine tasting chocolates. When I read the top bit I was instantly reminded of all the didgy cocktails we used to make during my university days. I think a fair few of them included cointreau because no one liked it on it's own :)
- September 09, 2010
Do they make a whisky flavoured choc? My dad loves them.
- September 09, 2010
I think I must seriously think about trying some Galler, despite the price lol. Even if its just one bar!
Neither of these appeal to me as I just don't get on with alcoholic fillings, although the Grand Marnier one sounds abit better if it was more orange than alcoholic!
I finally found an orange and peppermint Frys the other day, that sweet shop I showed you a while back. They're the only place around about I can find who stocks those two now grrr. They were delicious :) - September 09, 2010
- Julie said...
Hi Jim thank you for the review. I've never tried any Galler chocolates but I have taken a look at some of your write up ;) They always get really high ratings from you, you must really think a lot of them considering you try so many chocolates.
- September 09, 2010
Great photos Jim, they've made me hungry for some chocolate now hehe.
They both sound great and just the sort of thing I'd like, as I don't like strong alcohol chocolates. (and the weak ones usually taste artificial).
The dark grand marnier especially sounds fantastic.
I have to agree with Richard about the cost though..£3 is a lot. Galler should offer people samples so they know if they're worth the price.
@Alan - that's reminded me to have a look for the Fry's bars when I'm next out. They're always a treat. - September 09, 2010
Top review and photos today Jim. You can really see the detail of the inner gubbins and everything :)
- September 09, 2010
- Rodzilla said...
These are definitely some of the best looking bars I've seen. I'm really going to have to put in a galler order one of these days
- September 09, 2010
@Anonymous person I just took a look at the website and oddly they don't seem to have a whisky chocolate in their repetoire. It was one of the first things I thought of aswell its a shame they dont do one, I would really fancy that.

Omg Jim have you seen this ...
MEGA WANTS. - September 09, 2010

Hi All,
Thank you all the nice words about my review and photos today. They are all very much appreciated, thanks ever so much. My contacts of Galler have been already been checking out your feedback from the reviews today. They have already sent across another four bars this week that you have all suggested - please keep the requests coming :D it will keep me busy for the forseeable future if you do.
On to your questions ...
Rachel - I just ended up sharing and eating them both at the same time I saw no reason not to stick them in the same write up. I think it worked out ok.
Alex - I think the wrappers do the job nicely. I personally think they look very premium.
Golden - Indeed Wikipedia is a lifesaver for me :D I would be lost without it.
Daisy - I still haven't given it a go. Perhaps tonight :D I could do with a drink .... its been a bit of a long day haha.
Justin - I have been very lucky this week and just been reviewing some realy high quality stuff.
Emma - Do remember that I have to write up all the reviews ;) It's not all just chocolate eating.
Tricky - Thats a hard one. The Ballontin of Pralines selection box is one that sticks out in my mind though. It was exceptional.
Anon - A studio? Haha hardly! I tell you what, one day I will do a behind the scenes look at how I put these reviews together. Until then I will keep a bit of mystery behind it all.
Mysterio - You better be joking lad :D
James - I haven't asked them why they segregate their chocolate like that? its just the way it comes I'm afraid. I agree they could do with a least being half the size they are at the moment.
Nigel - Thank your for all your requests you are keeping me busy haha! I think you might want to check out the site on Monday ;)
Richard - Don't worry I repeat myself often enough. I get the point you are making about the price, but if you are really selective I genuinely think that some of their range more than justifies the premium price tag.
Anon - I got an answer from Galler themselves about whether they have a whisky one ... here is what they said ...
"I'm afraid we don't do one.
We do have a Cognac bar but obviously brandy is fruit based rather than grain based like whisky"
Alan - Given that I know you appreciate your good chocolates I would suggest you get a move on and try some of these out chap. Give one of their praline chocolates a try, I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed with it.
Phil - I do like your sampling idea, I have actually seen that they do a small tasting selection like we were talking about for Lindt yesterday. If you are interested in trying a few of the flavours they have in their range that might be a really sensible place to start with them.
Lena - No I hadn't seen that. Thanks for the heads up I will make sure I include it in my 7Days of Chocolate Reviews post this weekend.
Thanks for the comments today people. Galler are one of the companies that really take note of your feedbake so be sure to leave your thoughts if you ever have any musings regardging my reviews. One more review and then we have the weekend! Bring it on I say!!!!

Decked out Monday at Lighthouse Point in full Forsyths Rifles uniforms and regalia, Inspector Gen. Grover B. Katzman and gunner Charles F. Abel stuffed the replica 1800s cannon with gun powder packets, lit the fuse and let it rip.
It was, after all, a historically special anniversary that prompted them midday cannon fire in the otherwise quiet city.
This is the first day of the War of 1812, Mr. Katzman said. It was two hundred years ago today.
The 200th anniversary of the two-and-a-half-year-long British-American battle has significance for Ogdensburg. That is because eight months later, the two sides would square off in the Battle of Ogdensburgh at Lighthouse Point.
It was a victory for the British, capturing for them what was then a village and removing the American threat to British supply lines for the rest of the war.
Mr. Katzman, a veteran member of the Forsyths battle reenactment group - named for 1st U.S. Rifle Regiment Maj. Benjamin Forsyth - said Ogdensburg was an unwitting yet inevitable participant in the war.
I dont think they wanted it to happen, he said. It (the war) was up and down the (St. Lawrence) river. It was their supply line.
And it would prove to be a costly battle for both sides. The British sent in 520 troops, of which six were killed and 44 were injured.
The Americans were, by contrast, outnumbered with 250 troops. They also suffered more casualties with 20 deaths, six troops injured and 70 more captured.

AISD to Welcome New Computers for Students
By: Marlisa Goldsmith
Updated: January 25, 2012
This year AISD is replacing 1600 of their computers with refurbished ones that will cost the district less than half the price of purchasing brand new computers and bringing the grand total to about $674,000.
The district decided to put this technology initiative in effect because the machines students were using were obsolete and extremely slow.
"Some of the applications that were running require a faster processor speed," says Chief Officer of Technology Mark Gapehart. "They require more memory, and therefore they were not suitable. So what this means for our students as well as our staff is that they will have faster computers."
All 1600 computers are expected to be in place by the end of May 2012.
The district will also be upgrading their computer software to Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010.

Hack and / - Do the Splits
Even with the high-resolution flat-screen monitors we have these days, screen real estate still can be at a premium. Of course, if you spend a lot of your time in a terminal, this is even more true. When you want to compare two files at the same time or monitor two different sessions at once, you either carefully position terminal windows or rely on tabs.
Tabs can be fine, but when I use terminals, I like to stick to the keyboard as much as possible. Plus, I don't know about anyone else, but for me, there are four main programs I run in terminals: mutt, vim, screen and irssi. Luckily for me, all of these programs support some form of split screens—the ability to divide the terminal either vertically or horizontally. Although these features aren't necessarily anything new, if you don't use them every day, it can be hard to remember how to split the screen, navigate between the sections, and then go back to a single screen. In this column, I discuss the split-screen features in my four favorite terminal applications and provide a simple guide to help us all commit them to memory.
I suppose if you want to be technical, this isn't exactly the same as the split screens in the other tools, but while you are in the mutt pager (the part that lets you view the body of an e-mail message), by default, mutt fills the entire terminal with the e-mail. If you want, however, you can tell mutt to take a specified number of lines at the top and use them to display your index. This way, you can browse through the contents of an e-mail message but still be able to keep an eye on the other headers in your index. To use ten lines for this feature, simply add the following:
set pager_index_lines=10
Vim is my favorite text editor (I've used it for basically all of my writing), and its split-screen feature is especially useful for sysadmin work. I can't count how many times I've made a change in one configuration file or script that I've wanted to add to a second file. To enable split-screen mode for a horizontal split, type:
And, for a vertical split, type:
By default, vim shows the same file in both panes. Press Ctrl-W, and then use the regular HJKL keys (or arrow keys if you aren't a home-row junkie like me) to navigate between panes. So, if I had made a horizontal split and wanted to open a new file in the bottom pane, I would press Ctrl-W J to move the cursor to that pane, and then I would type :open filename to open the new file. When you are finished with a particular pane, make sure the cursor is in that pane, and then save and close the file in the normal fashion.
Vim isn't limited only to two panes either—simply type the :split or :vsplit command again to add a third horizontal or vertical pane, respectively. You even can split the window horizontally and then type :vsplit to split that pane further into two vertical panes.
Screen is another one of those indispensable command-line tools. If you haven't used screen before, it essentially allows you to open multiple numbered shells, and you can switch to them with Ctrl-A <number>. Then, you can detach from your screen session and connect to it later, and in the meantime, all the shells you have opened within it keep their state. One way I commonly use screen is for irssi, a command-line-based IRC client. I open irssi within screen on a server that is always up. Then, no matter where I am, I can connect to the remote server and resume my irssi session, which always stays connected.
Beyond the standard screen features, screen also supports a horizontal split screen. This can be useful if you want to monitor IRC in one window and perform other commands in the second. Also, if you use a text editor or other tools that don't support split panes on their own, you can use screen's split feature as a supplement.
To split the pane within screen, press Ctrl-A Shift-S. Then, you can press Ctrl-A Tab to move your cursor between the two panes. You will notice that the bottom pane is empty at the beginning. Once you have moved the cursor to it, you either can switch to a currently open window with Ctrl-A <number>, or you can press Ctrl-A C to create a new window in that pane. Screen also supports multiple panes. Simply press Ctrl-A Shift-S a second time to split the session into three equally sized panes. When you are ready to close a pane, press Ctrl-A Tab until it has the cursor, and then press Ctrl-A Shift-X to close that pane.

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Whidbey Island was recently chosen as a "Top 10 Romantic Retreats" and the heart of this amazing island is the charming seaside village of Langley. And, the town's finest getaway is the Langley Penthouse.
Perched centrally atop one of the cities most prominent historic buildings, this spectacular retreat, which comfortably sleeps six, has a commanding view of the town, and ocean and mountains beyond.
Down the stairs and out your front door you are within a hundred yards of the finest restaurants, art galleries, coffee bars, bakeries, confectionary outlets, video shops, music stores, antique malls, book stores, designer clothiers, the most wondrous little shops filled with serendipity...chocolate anyone?
Just across the street is Mikes Restaurant for solid old fashioned cuisine with great specials and the best pies in town. Try their Huevos Rancheros for breakfast.
Want to get away from it all? Only one block away is the beach walk where you can let the ocean do it's magic. Or wander down to the harbor and assist with lines at the dock; the new boat owners can always use a little help!
Just above the harbor is the Edgecliff for lunch, one of our favorites perched on a spectacular bluff with some of the best views in Puget Sound. We recommend the local Dungeness crab or Penn Cove oysters harvested just a few miles away.
When you return from a day of exploring or listening to the locals ramble on at the Whidbey Coffee House, return to the luxury of your penthouse where nothing was spared to make it comfortable and complete, just the way you like it.
There is a kitchen that a gourmet will love, with a charming cocktail counter, or is it a breakfast nook? At first it will have you smiling, and then wondering at the games you will play there:Scrabble anyone?
The furnishings are beautiful and luxurious; you will be asking us, where did you get that? Some of the things we have are custom made for us by island craftsmen. And, you'll find yourself enjoying at the wonderful art collection; they come from the owner's collection of over 300 originals.
The beds are reaalllly comfortable; you might not want to leave your bedroom and that's OK; hey you're on vacation! And you don't have to, as each bedroom is complete with it's own media system.
If you want to catch up on all those videos you've been meaning to watch, you can do them in surround sound with the Great Room cinema system designed by the island top media engineer; all while you cozy up to the fireplace:do I smell popcorn?
Speaking of which, across the street and around the corner is something that will take you back in time:and they serve the best popcorn on the island! The Clyde Theatre, an island icon right out of the 40's, complete with old fashioned balcony. The Clyde owner just seems to know the right movies to bring in each week; we're sure there is something you'll want to see.
If you go to a movie, you might want to make an evening of it by having dinner at the Caf Langley which features exceptional eastern mediterannean cuisine, and has won many awards. Say hi to the owner Archy for us; he and his brother have done a great job making this a must on your trip.
After the movie, walk up the block and pop upstairs to the Prima Bistro and order that special cocktail from Terry the bartender; he'll tell you some stories while you watch the boats pass on Saratoga Passage. If it's warm, you can dine outside. Sometimes they have Danny playing, whose band was featured in "An Officer and a Gentlemen" (remember the scene at the officers club when Richard Gere and Debra Winger first dance?).
Need we say more? Stay at the Langley Penthouse and see why the luxury travel reviewers so love this island, and the seaside village of Langley. You will too.

The Colorado Graves Registration was a project to locate and register the graves of all United State veterans buried in Colorado. It includes many out-of-state deceased veterans who were sent to Fitzsimons Army Hospital or came to Colorado to regain their health (3). The project had its beginning when the American Legion embarked on a program to see that the graves of every deceased veteran resting in the United States were included in the Decoration or Memorial Day service. In May 1933 the National Grave Registration Plan was adopted by the American Legion. In 1935 the task got underway, depending almost entirely on voluntary assistance. In 1938 a project proposal was written to make the project a state-wide project for the Works Project Administration under the sponsorship of the Military Department of the State of Colorado with the cooperation of the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Funds were provided by the Works Project Administration and special appropriation made by the Colorado State Legislature (3). Permanent files were transcribed with each record being placed on a registration card. Information was gathered county by county from all sources possible. In conjunction with investigation of burial plots and cemetery records, the research included many public records, newspaper files, city and county records, assessors books, church records, morticians records, records of service and patriotic organizations, contact with friends and relatives of the deceased veterans and county histories when available. Service connections were checked with the Official Roster of Colorado Soldiers who served in the Civil War, local records of the Grand Army of the Republic and rosters of the the other states in the Union (3). For more in-depth information on the formation and completion of the Colorado Grave Registration, consult The Manual of Instructions, written in 1940 under the sponsorship of the Military Department of the State of Colorado. Copies of the manual are available at the Jefferson County Library at 20th and Miller Streets, (R.929.3), Lakewood, CO 80215 (3). Information requested on each grave registration card includes the following:
The original cards are currently filed in twenty volumes of books at the Colorado State
Archives. Because cause of death is included in the Grave Registration, the records are
not open for public inspection. However staff members can extract all the information
except for the cause of death. Permission to look at specific records can be obtained in
writing from the Colorado Adjutant Generals office, 6845 S. Revere Parkway,
Englewood, CO 80112, phone 720-250-8801. The cards are also on six rolls of microfilm by
county which are catalogued in the order given below. The total number of registrations
are given in parenthesis following the county listed below:

Bolshoi's "Raymonda" live in cinemas
Posted 25 June 2012 - 11:23 AM
Maybe Alexandrova doesn't do "passive suffering" as convincingly as Bessmertnova. Over the years I have gotten the feeling Bessmertnova didn't do anything else, but that may be the distortion of what's been recorded on video. However I'm not sure "passive suffering" is what Raymonda is about. From what I've seen Alexandrova does a splendid 3d Act.

I loved Alexandrova in every act. And, no, she's not passive at all. That is not part of her make up from what I can tell. I usually like Raymonda to be like a little sweet princess in the first act, and Lopatkina actually conveys that very well.....sort of the untouchable, young, sweet, rich girl everyone would love to have. And I would say that Lopatkina's Raymonda (which I love) is actually sort of passive. So I think her third act is less "on" but Alexandrova's stage persona is a lot more "active" (for lack of a better word), so I think her last act is maybe her best.
Posted 25 June 2012 - 11:54 AM
Thanks, Herman, for putting these performances in historical context. My reference to "apparatchik" was not so much a literal historical judgment as an allusion to the image of uber-serious, uber-competent Soviet bureaucrats that one can see in films like Ninochka (before Garbo falls in love.) The clappling variation is an example: beautifully formed, emotionally dead, with no sense of mystery, joy, or the exotic. The problem is not just facial expression. I can't put my finger on it, but this was (for me) a very unsatisfying account of an iconic variation.
I don't look for "passive suffering" in Raymonda. On the contrary. Act III should have some of the quality of an "Aurora finale"" it seems to me. The conflicts of the earlier part of the ballet need to be resolved with some sense of triumph, majesty, joy. You can't care if the protagonists don't seem to care.
I acknowledge that Bessmertova in the dvd is more physically stressed by the role than a number of younger ballerinas. But I could not take my eyes from her. Alexandrova is a gorgeously formed dancer in an attractively old fashioned way. Somehow, however,my mind wandered and my eyelids occasionally drifted to the shut position as I watched her move beautiful step-by-beautiful step through this particular role.

Well, all I can say is it is possible to look at it in a different way. I think her clapping variation is terrific, conveying this sense she's looking back and realizes she has the power to destroy men just like that. And she is okay with that. She's that kind of princess. Not the Aurora type. Next, in the galop, the way she stops the music and then revs it up again, with this exuberant shake of her head. This De Brienne is going to have to be very careful around her.
Another detail that struck me in the exotic dance with the Saracen (I'm trying to avoid typos), the way she puts the back of her hand over her mouth, as if she's trying to stop herself. I have to say though that Bessmertnova conveyed more fascination with this exotic intruder than Alexandrova does.
I would like to watch this video one more time, but there's a note saying their pulling it after 24 hours.

With regards to the production values, I agree that there's a certain Soviet "look" to it that is very dated. Colors are that combo of gray/beige/pastel, there's really no attempt to make the guys' costumes look nice at all, flapping sets. I THINK that that particular aesthetic was probably a result of wanting ballets to be more accessible to people waiting in the bread lines.
Hell, since the Olympics are coming up, I've been looking at old footage of Soviet gymnasts, and I notice that their leotards/makeup have that same look. Very beige and dull, girls wore very little makeup and hair was pulled in a rather child-like pony-tail. It's strange that the poverty aesthetic added to the Soviet gymnasts' appeal in the West. A lot of the commentators I've noticed made comments about how "child-like" and "doll-like" the girls looked, even if some of them were older than you'd expect. It's very different from the gymnasts of today, who compete, it seems, with the world's supply of eye-shadow, glitter, bronzer, and hairspray.

What Alexandrova says, especially about Abderakhman, I found more moving than I did her behavior in the ballet itself -- and Abderakhman I thought was the only one of the principals who danced with enough soul to keep it alive.
I'm with Bart and Christian -- Alexandrova is just not right for the role, however much she may feel it in her heart, she's not built to make this ballet expressive. Her cheekbones are too big, her eyes are too close together -- she's a wonderful dancer, but she does not look the part. Actually, she just doesn't have a clue about Raymonda -- what she says about Abederakman is interesting in the abstract, but it's not in character. Alexandrova is too healthy, boringly normal. She does the moves, but they don't mean anything. Even the Hungarian solo, she's impatient with hte wrist things -- Semenyaka made amazing drama out of rotating the upperarm bone, taking it from a parallel line into full turn-out. Alexandrova is not interested in this at all. it's like "Whatever -- sure I CAN turn my wrist over as I take it back from my head. Here, I'll show you. idiot." .on top of that, DeBrienne cannot do his pirouettes, and though his jumps are showy, he's just spindly, and lacks lacks majesty.
Everybody ELSE is excellent -- especially Shipulina, and the two men -- the pas-de-bourree dance to the harp is out of this world beautiful -- and Virsaladze's sets are beautiful in this light, the dream is wonderful, the 2 soloists in the dream are fantastic. If only Semenyaka had had this level of production values behind her version!
For me the great Raymondas are Plitsetskaya's, Bessmertnova's, and Semenyaka's. Kolpakova is glorious, also.
And Novikova is extraordinary in her version -- and yes, I'd rather see her pick up the flowers!

I've seen the 1898 reconstruction and the character is not nearly so cartoonish. I'm also really surprised Grigorovich would make these artistic choices, since Russia/USSR was/is ethnically and religiously diverse, with many many famous dancers of Muslim heritage.

I see your point, although I think the Bolshoi's version is the one that gives Abderakhman actual dancing. I was corrected and reminded that Nureyev's version does too. But This Grigorovich version is on the two 1980s videos too. If you haven't seen Taranda dance this role in the Grigorovich version on those two versions, you might want to check it out. He is so outstanding that I think most of us have shrugged off the stereotype (not saying that is good or bad, but we love Taranda's performance so much that we didn't stop and think about it). Actually, I find the entire ballet Raymonda sort of not PC at all.....European girl scared of Eastern guy and prefers Western guy and then at the end after killing off the inconvenient Eastern guy they celebrate European culture by dancing Hungarian style dances. So by today's standards Raymonda is about the least PC ballet that exists. But for some reason I still love it to death. I re-interpret it for myself as our Western culture being intrigued by Eastern culture but still not comfortable with it, and that is where we still are in today's world still, so it actually still reflects today's world pretty well. That is my take on it.

People who think they are great at MW3 are actually not.
Like (3)
Firstly,I find myself to be an above average COD player,I use cover,help my team mates,go for the objective and make use of all the weapons,statistics do not mean a thing.I hardly play FFA,as everybody knows the connection makes it almost impossible to have a fair match,and thats my point.
The difference in connection quality of every player is not the same which makes playing MW3 online rather pointless.
For example,yesterday I played a good 3HR session of Domination and did rather well,I actually did too well with the LMG'S.
Fired up MW3 this morning used the same setup's as yesterday,started playing Domination and couldn't hit a thing,I was also getting instakilled and shot around corners.
My point is that players bragging over the mic that they are awesome just makes me laugh,true skill can only be shown in a LAN match as everyone has the same chance of winning,It also makes me laugh that they fail to understand the concept of a fair match.
Just to point out that I still play the game and think its bloody good fun,but days when you can't hit anything just want to make you grab the nearest person by the head and lift them vertically upside in the air and slam them against your Xbox.
No, what makes me laugh is this post, which kind of condemns someone bragging about how good they are, yet you call yourself an above average player to start it, then talks about a great day you had as reinforcement for your point. Yet, in that same argument, you said good days like that have nothing to do with being good, but rather connections. So in essence, your argument nullified itself, and the only thing I get out of this post is that you think you are above average.
You very well might be a great player, and if you are, kudos to you sir. However, you are no better then the people you set out to chastise.
WTF are you on about?
You obviously have taken it the wrong way,the joys of text.
Well I can tell you this. Ive played FPSs with the same group of people since the original xbox. The people with the highest K/Ds in MW3 also were the best in BOPs, MW2, WAW, COD4, Rainbow6V2, RAinbow6v1, Farcry instincts, predator, and 2, Rainbow 6 black arrow, BF3 ect... The same goes with for the opposite end of the spectrum for those who sucked.
There are a few that get much better over time, and I can only think of 1 that got worse. The bottom line is you can blame lag in individual maps at times cause it does happen, but in the end you are what you are. It almost never changes.
Very true sir. Blaming lag when you have an extremely low overall K/D just makes you look sad.
One more thought...you say online is pointless, yet say it's bloody good fun. Huh?
Anyone with a k/d below 2.0 is garbage.
thats a hell of a statment to put out , any reasoning as to why you think that .
Anyone who thinks K/D matters is garbage. Its a game.
K/D doesnt mean all that much. WHY? campers. one thing that me and my group have been finding annoying is that we will get a group of guys who have decent k/d, 1.8-2.9 or whatever, and we will utterly destroy them pure Run N Gun. that right there tells you how they got their k/d... by sitting in a corner the entire game. thats a "false" k/d. i only really consider you to be a threat if you can keep that k/d from pure run n gun. if me and my friends were to "camp" and be try hard, i doubt we would ever die which would be boring. people rage quit enough as it is.
oh btw i have a 1.7 k/d ratio at the moment. reason its not much higher? cause i sucked balls when this game first came out. took a while to hit my stride
Firstly,I find myself to be an above average COD player
So the OP posted this as the title of the thread and claims he is better than average....
"People think they are great at MW3 are actually not "
(Just Kidding)
Because if you can't kill twice as much as you die you aren't doing anything for the team you are even if you kill twice as much as you die, it's easier to get the objective done.
lol,I know it looks bad but there is a meaning to the thread;)
i agree, the lag in this game make it totally unfair. Ok, sometimes you are in the good side, but honestly when you are host and/or you have a good internet connection, you are screwed, it's not fair.
It's a fact, demonstrated many times, the devs are aware, but nothing is done.
Say that is different to say that good player are not, i don't think so, a very good player can manage the lag, but for an average player, it's a catastrophe !
To be honest, there is a lot of noob who have a big ratio, it's curious, maybe they have a crap connection...Yeah, with the lag, IW, put the doubt on the real level of the players.
No wonder the community is fuc.ked up, people forgetting its just a game and taking it WAY to seriously. its made for fun and nothing else.
People thinking they are great on this game, boasting what they have done etc, saying they are better than other players because they have a 2.00 K/D, haha it makes me laugh.
All these people complaining about everyting on this game just needs to leave the game alone and move on. Lag and other sh.it will never get sorted on MW3. They have your money now and dont give a Flying F.uk about the players of mw3.
Will complaing about a computer game help the game or the community?
The answer is NO.
In my opinion a better player over time will always be better. I am extremely average at this game, a 1.1KD and as I only ever play TDM it's pretty accurate to where I am. Lag and all the other crap affects me in games, sometimes to my detriment and other times to my advantage so over time it evens out, I guess my stats are probably about right.
A couple of my friends are very, very good at this game, in the games we play together they do better 98% of the time and get a number of kills I can only dream about. They have been here and played on my xbox and I have been to their house and played there, we have played a game and then swapped over so I know for an absolute fact they are much better than me.
The better players will over time will do better, even when my friends have lag they are STILL better than me which is a bitter pill to swallow, they are 100% legit and (thankfully) don't ever brag about it.
I'm always on the wrong side of lag, and I still manage to win over 90% of my matches and hold at least a 3.00 K/D when i'm not playing Face-off or Clan Ops. Am I good, or is my average connection doing all the work for me? You talk like connection matters that much in MW3. It did back in the other CoDs, but you'll never see horrible lag in MW3 unless the host cuts their Xbox off. Lag comp is annoying, but it doesn't affect the game THAT much.
I'm always on the wrong side of lag comp and I run 2-3 seconds behind everyone else.
The game is unplayable.
It's not unplayable, it just makes the game seem more like work than actual fun to play.
no major lag? LMAO, i watched as my friend sat there MID AIR, not moving, as everyone else moved, bullets zinged around him and yet there he stood, then he slowly moved off to the right.
when i have a 2 bar connection, im 2-3 seconds behind the other team. does it make the game unwinable? hell no... does it make it annoying to simply walk let alone kill something? YES
I'll be playing HC Dom and I hear "enemy taking B"'I am near B so I go to defend and see the enemy lying prone at the flag, facing away from me. I fire a clip into his back and fall down dead. So after the match I watch the theatre, and from his POV he turns and shoots me before I fire a shot.
I also had in in HC SaD. I plant bomb, guy starts defusing bomb, I fire an entire clip into him whilst he is defusing. I fall down dead. In the final kill cam, guy starts defusing, hears me, gets up and shoots me. I never fire.
I stopped reading after:
'Firstly,I find myself to be an above average COD player,'
dude just /thread
I actually meant that im above average whilst playing LAN,the whole point of the thread is that MW3 does not give everyone a fair chance due to its poor connection server thingy.
Some days you will have the better connection and rule,the next day is a different kettle of fish in which you will get destroyed along with your team.
I just find that the team with the better connection always wins,along with their one hit kills and corner turning bullets,this is just my opinion as I have played a lot of COD over the years.
49% of the players are above average.
Let's say the Great Players (TM) are the top 5%.
OP complains about people thinking they are in the top 5%.
ANYONE on this forum is above average because they actually take some sort of interest in the game unlike the Average Player (51%) who just plugs in and play for an hour and goes 11-15, 10-33, 15-10, 25-20. 19-25 before shutting down and doing something else.
I have a harder time believing those who claim to be BELOW average on these forum than I have believing those stating the fact that they are above average.
As I already demonstrated a very long time ago, the average players range from 0.0 KD up to 0.7.
A 0.8 KD and above IS above average.
A top 5% player may go 30-10 and play five times as much as the "average player".
That means that the top 5% player inflicts a 1:3 mark on average players' KD ratio WHILE the top 5 players are present in average of half the games the average players play.
(50% are present one fifth of the 5% players; For every 10 Great Players there are 20 average players online).
ANY above average player will feed off the average players' KD, and the better the player the more likely the player will actually be playing the game.
This looks like fuzzy math.
In TDM only Id say
0-.74 is Bad
.75-1.74 is avg.
1.75-2.74 above avg.
2.75-3.74 Greatness
3.75+ = your top 1% Legends
by your standard i am bad but almost average. i started with this game, my k/d was terrible for a long time. lately, over the last 10 games, i averaged a 1.25 but my k/d was SOOOO bad starting out that it is taking forever to get it up. it actually makes me feel good that i am now classified (by your standards) as almost average. maybe there is hope afterall.
did manage to go 28-6 last night on downturn with the help of a pavelow. most kills i ever got.
thanks for the ray of hope,
Well, notice I said only in TDM, cause in objective modes a good portion of that goes out the window. Heres the kicker. I dont mind the -.74 players as long as theyre not running around like headless chickens. I get angered with those people cause they have no interest in winning. If Im having a bad round, I slow it down and let the people doing well take over. But not some of these people. Just about every other game I get stuck with the people that go 6-30 and singlehandedly ruin the game for all on our team.
Really +/- should be the in the game as a stat, along with K/D if you want to know whos doing well(in TDM).
i agree with you 100%. even when i sucked when i was learning, i had the common courtesy towards my teammates to camp out and, even when i only got 4 kills, i would only die like 8 times so i was only -4. I also made myself useful by making friends with the stinger and keeping the skies clear of uav/killstreaks. i threw portable for my rushing mates so they could run around slaughtering. it is pretty rare that i go less than -8. it drives me NUTS to see a random teammate go 5-20. they just kill our chances of victory.
BTW, all i play is TDM as i have a bunch of friends that are really good that i usually play with. they never complain about my k/d and it keeps it fun.
the k/d is now .69 and is rising about .05 per day so i am happy.
with all the complaints, this game is fun and, after all, that is what it is all about.
Id say whn someone gets in that -9 range for +/-, it becomes an issue. At that point its a thousand point swing in the game. SO STOP WHAT YOURE DOING!. Ive had games where I cant do a thing. I dont know if its lag, or that Im hungover but I still know when to stop. The same goes for the opposite, when Im hot, I take off.
I think a good player realizes how hes doing in each particular game, and supports his team for that match in the best way he can. If your not doing well, I agree with what you do, Grab that stinger and make yourself useful. Sit in a corner and camp, IDC. Put it on my shoulders, but lets win!
when im doing bad and its just not happening i stay out of high trafic areas why keep rushing in to get destroyed , i would rather go 7-9 say than 7-15 and feed the other team . drop back defend the spawn point and let the pros do there stuff .
it just amazes me how many people dont care. I sit there at the end wondering, is this game fun for them? What would make me continue to play this If I was 0-20 at the end of a round. Of all the CODs, Ive never seen the bad population in so many numbers. There is always a guy going -20 in every room.
thats is it in a nutshell i often wonder are they doing it just to get people anoyed , or are they looking for that wonder kill so they can stick it on youtube and look all pro .
i found that when i have an off day with a gun, i put on the class with the javelin and bare minimum i can come close to even. i learned where to fire so i could get at least kill almost every time i fire it, which is after every death. for people who struggle with gunplay, i would recommend taking the time to master the javelin. i can routinely get 8-12 kills per match on dome/resistance/bootleg/village/mission with the javelin. I taught my wife how to use it and she frequently gets doubles with the occasional triple or multi. it is worth it to learn the spots and take the time to master.
you are 100% right in that you need to FIND a way to help your team when you are floundering. whether it be camping and calling out enemy locations, shooting down air support, or just letting the javelin fly.
lol. i got completely off-topic.
lol kdr's have been skewed since say one....they mean nothing.
A ridiculous statement.
Connection plays a hugh part in this game. Maybe not for everyone but it is a big factor. I have found that is I play early in the day I will lag in every match and get host a good bit. Later in the day I will have a good connection. K\D is meaningless if you only play ojective game modes but pionts are meaningless if you play mode where K\D is what matters.
Want to know what the best source of how good you are in a TDM..... SCORE PER MINUTE.
That was the best thing about Black Ops. I would go into a room and see all of these 2.0+ but their SPM would be somewhere between 100-150. I myself always sat in the 250 range because I R-n-G but average less than 2.0 KD. This would always make me laugh.
In MW3 my lowest SPM is 240 and my highest is 373 (DOME of course). After finding the spot in Elite that tells the average SPM I found its 275. Not too bad I feel since I run a 1.79 in TDM.
All other games the K/D is going to be fluctuating because of non-objective seeking players and whatnot.
I know the numbers arent great and I am not saying I am great... I was just giving my .02.
On another note... there is an issue with connection. Only reason I say this is because of one match I played not 3 days ago. I was the only person in the lobby with anything higher than a 1.0 ratio, most were sitting at .50-. I knew something was wrong once the game started because it was truly impossible to kill someone. The match ended with me going 2-15.... FINAL score of the match.... 1200-7500. No boosting was noticed, at least I think, and there was never any air support for the other team. It was just impossible to kill an enemy. This alone makes it impossible to play a fair and decent match.
It's entirely possible to have a discussion without flaming each other. Take it easy and keep it clean please
Possible, indeed.
Does it really matter who believes they're good in CoD? Especially as casual and random as this game is LOL
Casual, how, anything but. Random,only this statement. Does it matter, not really, but then not many things here said on the forums do matter.
I used to be amazing at Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I beat Tyson when I was 7...and now, in my 20's, I can't beat that SOB to save my life.
he got better over the years?
Maybe...but Glass Joe? I'm afraid he regressed
Casual because almost anyone can pick the game up and play with average FPS experience. Not to mention rewarding deaths, the support package, etc. I wasn't aware that my statement was random, considering it was just a question.
Just got curious as to how good someone thinks they are at CoD would mean so much to the OP.
People who brag about being good in this game should have thier thighs skinned,the connection is too inconsistent to determind wheather you are good or not.
Maybe in another 20 yrs with "Hydro biotech ultra lazer broadband" things will be different.
Nope , there will just be more people making excuses for a different reason.
I think i am a COD beast! it has nothing to do with connection either. I can do good in any game mode and lag is not a excuse. Either i get out played by better players or i dont....K/D is not a factor as well unless you are ONLY a TDM or FFA player.

I guess they must be so good no one wants to get rid of them.
How many discs can you carry in it using the bottom and the top? All I can find is the bottom can hold like 18 and the sides 3 or four each, but what about the top compartment?
