Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Halliburton stock: 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Halliburton's shares have outperformed the Zacks Oil & Gas Field Services industry over the past six months (up +24% vs. +11.7%). This price performance is backed by phenomenal earnings surprise history, with the company having surpassed expectations in all the trailing 13 quarters. The world's No. 2 oilfield-services provider's consistently strong numbers could be attributed to improved utilization and pricing gains in North America. Of late, Halliburton has also been aided by margin expansion at its drilling and evaluation product lines. However, muted outlook across the international markets is likely to dampen investor confidence. Moreover, with the failure of BHI acquisition, HAL had to book a massive $3.5 billion in breakup charges that stretched its balance sheet. Hence, we advise investors to wait for a better entry point before buying shares in HAL." (1/5/2018) 2. Deutsche Bank AG analysts commented, "With the pickup in North American (NAM) activity levels happening faster than many expected, HAL is shifting its strategy back to maintaining market share rather than pushing margins at this point in the cycle. In response to this pickup, HAL is returning equipment to the market much faster than expected. Management noted that they are deploying double the capacity they had planned for the entire year and doing so mostly in the first half. As one would expect, this will lead to upfront costs as crews are hired and mobilization/ reactivation costs are incurred without corresponding revenue until the fleets are deployed. The industry is also feeling cost inflation, especially around sand and trucking, although this will likely be transitory as more sand supply comes on-line in the spring and costs are passed through to customers. HAL is one of a very few players able to structurally lower cost (both their own and for their customers) and raise efficiency in otherwise commoditized businesses and should be able to leverage its NAM leadership into strong growth at attractive returns. We therefore reiterate our BUY rating." (3/27/2017) Are investors shorting Halliburton? Halliburton saw a decline in short interest in January.

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for company stocks using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Today30 Days Ago90 Days Ago180 Days AgoConsensus Rating: BuyBuyBuyBuyConsensus Rating Score: 2.872.912.922.93Ratings Breakdown: 0 Sell Rating(s)3 Hold Rating(s)20 Buy Rating(s)0 Strong Buy Rating(s)0 Sell Rating(s)2 Hold Rating(s)20 Buy Rating(s)0 Strong Buy Rating(s)0 Sell Rating(s)2 Hold Rating(s)23 Buy Rating(s)0 Strong Buy Rating(s)0 Sell Rating(s)2 Hold Rating(s)26 Buy Rating(s)0 Strong Buy Rating(s)Consensus Price Target: $59.63$59.63$56.85$58.63Price Target Upside: 7.23% upside4.93% upside25.86% upside51.13% upsideHalliburton (NYSE:HAL) Consensus Price Target History Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) Analyst Ratings History Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateBrokerageActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails1/29/2018Atlantic SecuritiesUpgradeUnderweight -> NeutralLow1/23/2018BarclaysSet Price TargetBuy$66.00Low1/23/2018Jefferies GroupSet Price TargetBuy$65.00Medium1/24/2018B.

More than 1,700 people in Georgia are waiting for an organ donation right now.
Fifty-three percent of those in need are black, and most need a kidney transplant to save their lives, according to LifeLink of Georgia.
But every day, 17 Americans die after failing to get the organ they need.
That's why Bobby Howard, LifeLink's multicultural education specialist, brought this message to St. John Baptist Church on Sunday: You can't take your organs with you.
"When we start thinking about what legacy we want to leave behind, why not leave an organ? Why not give someone that gift of life?" Howard asked the hundreds of people who packed the church's pews for a gospel concert aimed at increasing awareness of organ donation.
The church was alive with song as local groups such as the Memorial Health Feel Good Singers warmed up the crowd for Grammy nominee James Bignon and the Deliverance Mass Choir.
Howard, a former NFL running back who played with the Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers from 1986 to 1990, knows what he's talking about.
His life was saved in October of 1994 when he received a kidney transplant. "That's why I do what I do," he said. "Everybody should have the same opportunities that I do."
Before the concert began, Howard asked anyone who needed a transplant or who has already received one to stand up.
Four people stood.
He then asked anyone who had agreed to donate their organs to stand. One person stood.
"This is why we're here. This is what we're here to change," Howard said.
Making that change is easy, said Staci Ravita, a hospital liaison for LifeLink's Savannah branch.
"It's a five-minute conversation you can have at your dinner table," Ravita said. "We encourage folks to talk to their family and tell them they want to donate their organs."
In Georgia, drivers may also register as an organ donor when they apply for or renew their driver's license. Donations of a heart, pancreas, kidneys, liver, lungs, intestines or other tissues can help some of the 96,000 people in need of transplants nationwide, she said.
LifeLink is a nonprofit dedicated to recovery and transplantation of organs and tissues.
Beyond facilitating donations, LifeLink encourages African Americans to visit a doctor once a year, have their blood pressure checked twice a year, and limit foods high in salt, cholesterol and saturated fats to avoid illnesses that can lead to organ failure.

The newest facility from the IU athletics capital campaign is complete and formally dedicated. Players past and present from IU basketball gathered in a new center they can call their own.
IU guard Jordan Hulls can't wait to call the new building home. "Growing up in Bloomington my whole life, my grandfather coaching here at Indiana, and just loving the game of basketball, I know how crazy people are about Indiana basketball."
Cook Hall serves as the daily headquarters for the men's and women's basketball programs. It provides players a state-of-the-art venue in which to practice, train and condition and a place for former teammates and fans alike to re-live great moments of IU basketball history.
"This facility, as you will see if you haven't already, is second to none in the United States of America. There's no doubt about it," says IU basketball coach Tom Crean.
But the guest of honor went to the donor of 15 million dollars for whom the facility is named after… Bill and Gayle Cook.

A tour de force, wonderful! Arwen may well be my new heroine. I have a soft spot for Tathar, and I would love to see her again.

Aha, so Brand has finally decided to take steps towards dealing with his familial problem. Interesting choice of 'solutions' in Faramir - he won't take advantage of the man closest to Andrahar, but he'll go to the man who (for all intents and purposes, and making the translation Andrahar wouldn't likely accept) is his brother-in-law. If I were Faramir, and Brand asked me for advice re: Andrahar, I think my first question would be, "Why me, when you've got Uncle at your beck and call?" Looking forward to that conversation!
Hethlin has certainly gotten much better at handling the court intrigue - Dol Amroth polishing has paid off! And Arwen, of course, knows precisely how to deal with snippy ladies-in-waiting. I imagine Jerulas's court currency will drop dramatically after this, even if she hangs on to a position in Arwen's entourage.
I enjoyed seeing more of Liahan's family - and Tethar's "Valar bless Andrahar" comment, and Brand's silent projection of Andrahar's reaction to foreign benedictions was highly amusing. Poor Andra probably wouldn't want to know how many times he's been requisitioned for the Valar by the wives of his soldiers, among others...

Ch 10:
So much going on in this chapter to like! So I'll just mention the highlights - more OCs to appreciate (Tathar especially), the touch of humor about the laces of Heth's dress, the deft put down when Jerulas was such a bitch (I'm a sucker for puns!), Arwen saying in so few words something to set Brand at ease about Boromir and Andrahar's relationship, the glimpse of a side story (main story - are we going to see this in Silver Swan..please???) where Heth is dancing with the Imrahil and ENJOYING it. So many things!
Actually, this is really a good example of how much your writing has improved since starting CMC. The wealth of detail and the way the story unfolds inside the scene are so natural, without the direct narrative that characterized CMC. It's a graceful and enjoyable read that makes me long for more. Well done! Keep up the good work. Not only do I enjoy your stories, but I really am enjoying seeing your growth as a writer.

I love this, now I finnaly get round to reading it, yeah I know not reading a fic of yours the second you post it, I should go to jail.
Brand is so wonderfull in the way he interacts with people, his shyness in this that he has to overcome compared to the slightly cocky attitude he shows jacyn. I see flashes of not only Boromir but also Faramir and Imri in him as well as Andra, his thoughts on the idea of the Valar whatching Andra and Andra and the queen, figures that the greatest swordsman in gondor should be a good dancer although not I think being a fan of the dances with a lot of lifts, some of these numenorian women must be taller than he is.
I look forward to his little chat with Faramir and seeing how this is all resolved.
One thing stuck me as a little odd Shampoo, you very carefully call it anything but in all your other fics but yet it crops up here.
other than that wonderfull as always.
I hope the nanowrimo went well and that you have a good christmas

Must find a better way to start reviews than saying I love this, actually read it on christmas day thank you for the nice prezzie, much better than the socks my aunt bought, then the pc died, but working agian now.
Seeing Heth and Faramir together again was great, all there little exchanges digs and in jokes, and poor Brand "you blacked my uncle's eye?"
Heth's little warning and his talk with Faramir seem to be starting to set things to rights loved the Gondor's acknowledged expert on Andra line, it's saying somthing when you need an expert. Would be interesting if Brand did ask though, would Imrahil "recuse" (great word)himself or actually tell Brand what he thought.
I think I see where this is going with the book, pomegranete jokes aside, the bookmark was a nice touch. Speaking of books I loved Brand and Faramir's comments on the garden of love (has Faramir acually seen this now big brother isn't stealing it all the time?)given the odd bit's I've heard the idea of two men is a lot less wierd than some things in there.
I can't wait for more so I hope your muse and real life all go to plan, best wishes for the new year

Brief comment - I think the change from Brand blurting out "Father" as an unconscious reaction to the more deliberate choosing of the word was a very good choice. The more deliberate version works much better with what's been established in chapters six and eight, and it gives Brand's naming all the weight of his struggle to come to terms with Andrahar and his relationship with Boromir. Despite it all, he recognizes and accepts that he is effectively dealing not with a guardian or a captain he hero-worships more than just a little or a close friend of his biological father, but with the man who has been and still is his first and abiding father-figure.
Let's hope that bookish interventions into Brand's relationship with Andrahar work, though given Andrahar's luck with books and love, even if romantic rather than familial love, Brand may have to do some quick on the spot interpreting to convince him of sincerity!

Reading Ch. 10 yet again, I must say I still break into a gleeful grin at Heth's blush over the "princess among esquires" comment. You certainly know how to make a shipper's heart go all thumpy - and that's not even including the dance scene, which still sends me into squeeing fits of delight. :)
Given that, it's probably rather contrary of me to say that I do miss hearing about and/or seeing more of Elrohir...
Ch.11: The retorts between Hethlin and Faramir are absolutely, positively priceless. I was also a bit surprised by Heth's playful but extreme impertinence; but then we don't really know how their relationship was last left when Heth went to Dol Amroth, post-engagement, so I just went along for a very enjoyable ride. Indeed, surrounded by fawning courtiers and/or war-planning sessions, what Faramir needs most is probably exactly what Hethlin is dealing him: a good friend's unreserved ribbing and attitude of normalcy. I am left wondering fervently just what her own feelings are concerning Faramir – particularly when you toss in tantalizing and (for me) inexplicable exchanges like at their parting. I imagine even if (hopefully) her thoughts have settled or will settle soon on purely platonic friendship, he will always hold a special and high place in her heart. I love how she still calls him Captain vs. any of his other titles.
I continue to adore Hethlin and Brandmir's friendship (although I don't quite agree with Lady Merilin's assessment *g*). Heth's cautious but caring poke to get Brand to talk to Andrahar was perfectly played; I can so see her doing just that. (Although Faramir should recall that Imrahil held a similar superstition!)
Brand and Faramir's conversation was simply wonderful: Faramir the incredibly fine man he is and Brand developing into the same. The entire scene unfolds so naturally and believably, and I love how a flash of "Ultimatums" shows up at the end. The part where Brand names Andrahar "Father" still chokes me up; it's beautifully played and led up to, and feels just perfect.

Ah, these last two chapters are sooo satisfying... "a kennel door has been left open" indeed! that was a ROTFLMAO moment!
And Arwen has clearly mastered the courtly favor game; she knows how to use her pleasure at seeing someone, either Hethlin or Brand, to the best advantage of that person... I guess that's an advantage of being queen. LOLOL!
There were great minor characters, too... I hope Brand has some chances to ride with Tathar... she reminds me a lot of, well, me at that age.... LOLOL! (except she may actually outgrow the awkward stage....)
And in the latest chapter, I really like how skillfully you show the interplay between Hethlin and Faramir through Brand's somewhat befuddled point of view. You show so much about the character of all three persons in so few sentences.... well done!
Oh, was the business of the black eyes in one of your stories? I must have missed it....
I was especially touched when Brand picked up that Faramir was pleased that Brand took after him in some way, with his archery. Brand needs all the reassurance he can get right now, and positive feedback that is subtle like that, rather than overt and intentional (like praise), might be even better. (If that makes any sense at all...)
And Faramir's thoughtful discussion with Brand seems so characteristic of him.... He forces Brand to clarify his muddled thinking about what Andrahar means to him, and why he wants (needs) to reconcile with him so much... and then, of course, he decides to have Brand consult a book to find his answers for himself. LOL! So typical of Faramir! And I smiled at the bit about Brand reacting to books just as Boromir did.
And I enjoyed the reference to Nimrien in Ultimatums at the end, having just re-read that story. She was so good for Imrahil, it makes me sad that she left him widowed for so long.
Speaking of re-reading, I've re-read all of your Imrahil-Andrahar-Brand stories recently, plus Dwim's Reconciliation. I keep hoping that by the time I reach the end of them, you will have posted a new chapter of Passages. I know I don't have any right to ask, since I am such a scapegrace about reviewing, but is there any hope? *pleading look*
*sigh* Meanwhile, I'll just have to start over.... ;-)

I'm not sure I can accurately convey the level of delight I had, wandering blearily down to the computer this morning to check for an expected email, and finding instead an HA digest entry for a Passages update. After shooing my children off, I had a great start to my day! :)
You are able to take what would normally be the most mundane interlude ("Brand prepares for his day") and turn it into a wonderful, laugh-out-loud chapter. His exchange over breakfast with Imrahil re: Tathar ("I'm not going to pork her!"); Imrahil's response to Lady Merilin's comments; the lovely, lovely conversation with Sherlock Amrothos on Andra, courting and sex... Ah, I had tears in my eyes.
And I never realized just how badly I wanted to meet Imrahil's valet until you trotted him out. Yet another awesome, three-dimensional character that fits perfectly within his spot in the Unabeauverse.
Blended in, of course, you still give us much reflective depth with Brand: his continued unsureness about himself in "fine" society, his mixed feelings about leaving the old Brand behind, the rough edges still being polished (or will he keep Boromir's ability to exhibit a cleverly crude turn of speech?). He is clever and kind, and a very fine heir to his father.
(And now the headache I woke up with is gone! Apparently all I needed was a little dose of the Unabeauverse. Or maybe of Imrahil. *g*)

I tried to post a review at FF.net too; but the system seems to have eaten it.
Anyway, a pleasant and credible chapter. Excellent handling of Brand's betwixt-and-between stage of growth, too old to be a child, too young to be a man, but slowly being made more aware of a man's obligations outside of the battlefield as well as on it.
I love it that all Brand wants is to befriend young Lady Tathar; he's still quite squeamish about GIRLS.
And a great introduction to the most powerful man in Dol Amroth after Imrahil - Maeddan the valet! And I enjoyed the reference to Aragorn's giving Faramir a comradely haircut in "Captain, My Captain" - neither of those gentlemen would, it seems to me, be motivated or even aware of the nuances of tonsorial elegance; they'd just want their hair out of their eyes and not in their way.
What is this about dogs in Tathar's father's house? Does he have a pack of little sheepdogs? Perhaps a big deerhound that thinks it's a lapdog? I think Brand would like dogs.
Update soon!

TPM has posted White House political mastermind Karl Rove's "priority defense" and "House targets" lists for 2008, both of which include two New York districts apiece.
On the hit list: U.S. Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (20th CD) and U.S. Rep. John Hall (19th CD).Â
On the marginal list: U.S. Rep. Randy Kuhl (29th CD) and U.S. Rep. James Walsh (25th CD).Â

Eight partners and former partners of Field Fisher Waterhouse (FFW) are set for a payment of roughly £35,000 each when the lease ends on the premises of a media boutique it took over in the 1990s.
The beneficiaries will share an amount close to £300,000 between them later this year as part of a deal agreed when the City firm consumed Allison & Humphreys in 1997 (18 November 1997). All eight are former partners of the extinct firm.
The payment has arisen from an agreement by the FFW partnership following the takeover to pay the ongoing rent and other operating costs related to Allison & Humphreys' former premises on 38, 40 and 42 Artillery Lane off Bishopsgate in the City.
As part of the deal, which has emerged in the firm's LLP accounts filed in the past week at Companies House, the FFW partnership has also been collecting rental income from the Artillery Lane building on behalf of former Allison & Humphreys partners.
Although FFW is still subletting the premises they have consistently produced a net loss, which eight former Allison & Humphreys partners agreed to bear at the time of the takeover by lending an amount of money to FFW as security against future losses.
As this amount exceeded the loss from the property, the firm is now set to repay the balance to the eight partners. The balance totalled £283,065 on 30 April 2011.
FFW confirmed that the lease ends in September this year, at which point the loan accounts will be repaid to the eight partners, who are all either current or former partners of FFW.
The amount in the accounts at that point cannot be confirmed until the firm files its 2011-12 LLPs later this year or early next year.
However, based on previous figures, it is expected to be just below £300,000, meaning a windfall of roughly £35,000 for each partner.
The total in the accounts has fluctuated around the £250,000 to £300,000 mark since 2006, when it stood at £237,255, and reached a peak of £313,296 at the end of the 2007-08 financial year. It stood at £233,224 in 2007 and £294,224 in 2009, maintaining this exact level in 2010.
At the same time, the loss produced by the Artillery Lane premises has gradually increased from £61,273 in the 12 months to 31 March 2006 to £163,848 in the 2010-11 financial year.
The loss has risen every year since 2006, when the firm converted to an LLP and was first obliged to publish its full accounts. There will be no more related losses from September.
Meanwhile, the firm's LLP accounts show a 3 per cent increase in turnover for the 2010-11 financial year, from £92.1m in 2009-10 to £95.m – a marginally bigger hike than the firm originally posted when it announced its unaudited figures in May last year (25 May 2011).
Profit available for discretionary division among partners rose by 20 per cent from £15.9m in 2009-10 to £19.1m in 2010-11, the latest accounts show.
Average employee numbers rose by 9 per cent from 532 to 580 throughout the financial year, but staff costs increased by just 3 per cent, from £36.2m to £37.4m.

Paddling in Maryland: Kayaking in and Around the Chesapeake Bay
Paddling is a great way to enjoy the Chesapeake Bay. Three years ago I took a Basic I & II kayaking class in the beginning of the 2004 paddling season. Between the two classes, I went on a day trip and have loved kayaking ever since. There are many things to see and experience on the Chesapeake that can be difficult to see any other way.
From tranquil inlets to American Bald Eagles, the nature and wildlife can easily be reached on a kayak. After some classes and practice, many paddlers can participate in this wonderful activity. These web pages describe many of my great trips on the Chesapeake Bay and other nearby areas.
Kayaking is a great sport, but paddling without proper experience and training can be dangerous. Beyond the obvious hazards associated with water sports, a paddler has to consider weather, getting lost, fatigue, injury, hypothermia, over heating, and many other hazards. No web page can replace the value of classes (or a refresher class) given by a certified instructor.
From these web pages I hope that you become inspired about paddling and learn to enjoy kayaking in Maryland. I have included some background information on the equipment and a summary of my recent paddling trips. For experienced paddlers, I have included directions to launch sites and GPS coordinates. This information is included to help with planning a kayak trip, but current conditions and accessibility may be significantly different. The Chesapeake Bay changes constantly and tides and weather can drastically affect the character of any paddling trip.

Up Close & Personal with Gleb & Tatiyana Makarov
June 25, 2002
Nine Dances? No Problem!
Back in Russia, Gleb and Tatiyana Makarov, came from two different dance backgrounds. Tatiyana was a very accomplished ballet dancer and Gleb was a member of a world ranked ballroom formation team. Since then, they've been busy... Tatiyana took up ballroom dancing, they got married, came to America, and are working for a Fred Astaire Studio in Red Bank, New Jersey.
Tatiyana and Gleb are shooting for the official Nine-Dance Championship title, which will be held this October. With placings steadily rising for the past year, they're now moving above established couples in both rhythm and smooth. It appears that Tatiyana's decision to convert from ballet to ballroom, and Gleb?s choice to dance American style, have been wise ones for this very talented couple.
Why did you decide to come to the United States?
Tatiyana: We were invited to work at a Fred Astaire studio in Rochester, New York. That was in September of 1996. We stayed there for almost three years. Then we moved to Westchester, New York. We?re slowly moving south!
Why did you decide to leave Rochester?
Tatiyana: To future our competitive dancing.
Gleb: Rochester is in upstate New York.
Tatiyana: It?s a great area, but it was too far away for dancing.
Gleb: Six or seven hours from New York.
Tatiyana: There weren?t enough coaches, and we had to travel a lot.
Did you know what kind of an area it was before you moved there?
Gleb: No. We heard it?s Rochester, but we had no idea where it was.
Did you compete when you were in Russia?
Gleb: Yes. But I had a different partner.
Tatiyana: We started to compete together when we moved here, so we?ve been dancing together six years.
Were you married when you moved here?
Tatiyana: Yes. We?ve been together quite a long time? eleven years. We dated four years before we got married, and then we got married, and then we moved here.
Gleb: We were married in August, and in September we came here.
Why did you decide to compete in the American style?
Tatiyana: I guess because of me. I was a ballet dancer before, and also, I think because of Gleb?s personality. He likes to do something new all the time, and he?d been doing international style since he was four. He wanted a change, and I guess for me it was easy to start with the smooth first. Smooth was kind of close to ballet. Then we decided to do rhythm too.
How long have you been doing ballroom dancing?
Gleb: Twenty-five years. I started when I was four years old. My mom brought me to ballroom.
Tatiyana: In Russia it?s kind of popular. Parents like to see the kids dancing. Here, kids do soccer or baseball.
Gleb: Tatiyana didn?t do any ballroom dancing.
Why did you go into ballet and not ballroom?
Tatiyana: I don?t know. I just liked it! My parents liked it, I guess. When you?re little, your parent decides for you.
Since you came from different dance backgrounds were there problems when you tried to dance together?
Tatiyana: A lot. It was hard for me.
Gleb: The first half a year, it was like shock therapy for her. I showed her cha cha. And she said, ?You?re kidding me! I?m supposed to use the hips? Oh my God!? I said, ?Yes, baby, you must!? That was a funny time.
Tatiyana: The whole aesthetic look of ballet is completely different than Latin. I was always in the first position when I danced waltz. And I would turn my head always to the right.
Gleb: We would go to promenade and she turned the head to the left. We would do a natural turn and she turned her head to the right. I said, ?Beautiful, but...?
Tatiyana: He was very supportive. The students liked us, so it didn?t really matter to them.
Did you teach him things because of your knowledge of ballet?
Tatiyana: I tried! But I have to be very careful because of his personality!
Now that you know more about the ballroom dancing, has your dance partnership changed?
Tatiyana: No.
Gleb: She started talking more.
Tatiyana: Now it?s getting more comfortable, but still it?s never enough. Never can be satisfied.
Gleb: When we practice now she talks too much! When we first started, I would say, ?Tatiyana, can you do this and this?? She would say, ?Um hum, uh hum?.
Tatiyana: I would just repeat it and now I?m asking why.
Gleb: Now when I say, ?You should use this muscle and turn it a little more.? She says, ?Excuse me, no. You should stay there and don?t move your hand.? But that?s okay. It?s good.
Since you?re married and you dance together, how do you deal with different opinions about the dancing?
Gleb: Don?t talk about ballroom at home! That?s rule number one. Absolutely. I?m kind of hyper person, and if we had some argument on the floor, I tried bringing it home. I would continue the conversation in the car or at home or wherever. She would completely ignore me! I would say something like, ?Tanya, would you like to talk to me about the cha cha, there was lot of mistakes...? and she would walk around me in the kitchen and living room and she wouldn?t answer me. My dog even looks at me like, ?What she mean?? and then I would start to be a little bit more angry. She would come into the living room from the kitchen and really, really nice say to me, ?You want to eat?? So we never talk about ballroom at home. Never. And I know if I start to talk again she won?t answer. She?ll call somebody or watch TV or do her stuff.
How did you meet each other?
Tatiyana: We went to the same university.
Gleb: Actually, I was supposed to work as a manager in sport culture and tourism. That?s my profession.
Tatiyana: I studied to be a professional choreographer and teacher. Our classes were in the same building so we met.
Gleb: I was on the third floor, and Tatiyana was on the second. The door was always open. I thought, ?Let in those girls!?
If you stayed in Russia, would you be teaching dancing now, or would you be working in your profession?
Tatiyana: He was dancing as an amateur, so it was his hobby. He probably would be working in his profession.
Gleb: I spent more time dancing than I did for my work!
Tatiyana: He also danced in a formation team, and they were fabulous.
Gleb: We were third in the standard at the World Championship.
Tatiyana: They traveled around the world.
Are competitions different in Russia?
Gleb: Russia is huge country, and there are a lot of couples. It?s impossible to get in the final or semi-final if you don?t live in Moscow or St. Petersburg.
Tatiyana: He?s saying it?s political.
Gleb: Very. In Russia, I didn?t see a future in my dance career. I always placed the same. I lived east of Moscow. There were a lot nice dancers from places like Siberia, or further from Moscow. They would never place well. The dancers in the finals now, had to move from other cities to Moscow.
Because they knew that?s what they had to do to be successful?
Gleb: Absolutely. But it?s really difficult to live in Moscow now.
Tatiyana: Moscow is very expensive city. Like a hotel room at the Marriott is $700.
Gleb: Per night. It?s unbelievable.
What do you like best, the smooth or the rhythm?
Tatiyana: They?re both different, so it?s hard to say. I like both, but I guess in the rhythm I like slow dancing more than fast! I guess it?s just my personality or something.
Gleb: I think I?m more of a Latin person. I try to bring the Latin style to the smooth. It works for now.
Tatiyana: I think that?s why we like smooth. There are so many different styles....
Gleb: You can show everything...
Tatiyana: Ballet, jazz, ballroom. Anything you want.
You?ve been beating a lot of the top couples...
Tatiyana: Lately!
How does that make you feel?
Tatiyana: It?s been surprising, first. But we just think, ?It?s competition.?
Gleb: It?s just going up and down.
Is it exciting for you or does it make you more nervous.
Tatiyana: Oh, yes, of course, because we?re going up, it?s exciting.
Gleb: What?s really good is that we?re not thinking about results, like we were last year. We?re just coming and dancing, that?s it.
Tatiyana: At first it was a worry about what place we were going to take, but...
Gleb: When we start to dance at the competition, we can?t do anything. We have to just dance.
What made you able to change your attitude?
Tatiyana: I guess our coaches. They guide us.
Gleb: They see from the outside what you?re doing. They said, ?Don?t think too much. Don?t
compete, just have fun.?
Tatiyana: But show who you are, show you are the best at what you do.
Gleb: The results are always a surprise. Sometimes we stand in the line, and we?re announced first place? Hmmm. We were supposed to be third or fourth. But that?s okay.
Tatiyana: Sometimes, the feeling is completely opposite. You feel, you danced so great, and then the results are completely opposite to your feelings. Other times we feel it wasn?t right and then we?re surprised. We place higher than we expected.
Who are your coaches that have helped you change your attitude?
Tatiyana: Last year we worked with Victoria Regan in the rhythm. Marianne Nicole has been our main coach for six years now. I think she was our first coach in the United States. And we are still working with her.
Gleb: And now we?ve been working with Tony Meredith on some new choreography. So we go to different coaches.
Tatiyana: Try new and different styles.
Gleb: Because every coach has very interesting ideas.
Did you think that you danced really well the first time you beat Michael Neil and Susie Thompson?
Gleb: It wasn?t our best.
Tatiyana: I wasn?t happy with myself.
Gleb: So many people at the competition said, ?That was really good.? Then Tony Meredith came up to us, he had done our choreography, and he said, ?That was ugliest performance in my life!? I said, ?Good, I needed that.? He brought over a big, big piece of paper...
Tatiyana: A list.
Gleb: In the cha cha you lost connection 20 times. In the rumba your feet were the ugliest feet on the floor. That worked for us, the next week there was a competition on Long Island and we danced differently.
Tatiyana: It felt better.
Gleb: It felt much better.
What are your goals for the future?
Gleb: Try to be champions.
Tatiyana: It?s very exciting. In October, there is going to be an official nine-dance championship. The title wasn?t really official before. That will be a good title to have!
What was the hardest thing to get used to when you moved here?
Tatiyana: English!
Gleb: English!
You didn?t know anything when you came?
Gleb: No. I learned it all on my own. At the university I learned German.
Tatiyana: I learned German and French a little. English was very hard.
Gleb: We would just say, ?Hi, Bye,? and ?Yes, No.? That?s it. In two weeks I started to teach lessons.
Tatiyana: I would just hear one long word, like it was sentence. It was so hard. I felt so stupid! I would just smile all the time!
What made you decide to move to the United States when you knew nothing about English?
Tatiyana: We knew we could do it.
Gleb: It was simple, no language? no job. So we didn?t have a choice.
What other things have you had problems with?
Tatiyana: Different lifestyle.... like everything. Paying rent and paying bills. I guess it?s the same in Russia, but it seems different. You have to pay in Russia too.
Gleb: Restaurants are completely different. In Russia, in every single restaurant you can dance. There is dinner and dancing.
Tatiyana: It?s more like a black tie place. Everybody dresses up.
Gleb: People told us, ?We?re going to a restaurant tonight.? We think, ?Oh, really cool!?
Tatiyana: We get dressed up.
Gleb: When we go there and it was like an Applebee?s or Chili?s.
Tatiyana: And I couldn?t believe that people could eat so much!
Gleb: Now she has two plates!
Tatiyana: He?s a good joker!
Do you have a certain warm up routine, or do you have any superstitions before you dance?
Tatiyana: We just warm up alone, to warm up muscles. I like to concentrate, just on my own.
Gleb: I think about what I?m supposed to do, my job. I go through all my routines. I think practice time together should be in the studio. That?s the time when we can discuss what we?re supposed to do. Before a competition it doesn?t make sense. You should go and dance. Whatever you do. That?s it.
Do you eat certain foods?
Gleb: Chocolate cookies. Ice cream.
Tatiyana: No! Not really special. I don?t like to eat really heavy food. Something light at least five or six hours before. Otherwise, I feel heavy. I feel food in my stomach....
Gleb: I don?t care! I can eat three minutes before I dance. I feel more grounded!
How many hours a day do you practice?
Gleb: Two and a half or three every day.
How much do you teach?
Tatiyana: Usually, five or six hours a day. But it can be eight.
Do you teach social dancers differently?
Tatiyana: Yes. We learned through experience.
Gleb: When we first came here my first students were social, and beginners. My experience in Russia was working with competitive couples some were 10 - 12 years old. They were really strong dancers. When I came to America, I was teaching the same way. Can you imagine? people that never danced before? I would teach the basic step of rumba, the box step. In ten minutes they remembered the step, and I said, ?Okay, keep your knees straight, use your hip here, point your toe here. No, no, no, try one more time.? So I spent one hour on the box step.
Tatiyana: And of course, they never showed up again!
Gleb: They would go to the front desk and say, ?He?s really a nice teacher, but we think we?re not ready for that yet.? I lost a lot of students in the very beginning.
Now you feel you do it differently?
Tatiyana: We understand that the social dancers want to enjoy themselves. They don?t care if they?re keeping their knees together or not. They just enjoy dancing together and going out to show off a little in front of friends, or go on the cruise and enjoy the music.
There aren?t any social dancers in Russia?
Tatiyana: I heard in Moscow they?ve started to open up social studios.
Gleb: Before, if you came into a studio, you would open the door and everybody would be flying around. If you said, ?Excuse me, can I learn some dance?? The people would say, ?Yes, but there?s nobody to teach you. You can be in the corner and just repeat steps.?
Do you have any advice to give to someone who wants to start competing?
Tatiyana: Work hard!
Gleb: I think you should practice!
Tatiyana: Just be who you are. Don?t try to look like somebody else.
Gleb: Copying is probably good in the very beginning, but then they should find their own character. That?s what we try to do.
Do you feel that you?ve given up anything in your life to become the Nine Dance Champions?
Tatiyana: No. It?s lots of work and lots of traveling. It?s probably more expensive to dance two styles instead of one, but I think it?s a great opportunity for us to learn so much. I don?t think we?ve given up anything. This is what we choose, to compete right now, and to get our career as high as possible.
Coach?s corner
Tatiyana: Be more consistent with your dancing. Don?t change coaches because you make a bad result. Don?t change partners if you don?t take a first place. You always can work things out. See the goal in front of you and go for it.
Gleb: Be comfortable. Don?t think too much. Competition is like the final step or destination. It?s supposed to be fun. You are working, but it?s not supposed to show.

The breath and mind react intimately upon one another. The breath instantly responds
to different mental and emotional states. As the breath flows, so flows the mind. By
concentrating on the breath, the mind becomes calmer. This is the Hong-Sau technique
of concentration and meditation as taught by Paramhansa Yogananda and also by his
disciple, Swami Kriyananda, the founder and spiritual director of Ananda.
The Hong-Sau Technique:
1) Energization, prayer, and chanting are suggested before meditation, but Hong-Sau
actually may be done at any time and in any place.
2) Inhale and tense the whole body. Exhale and relax. Repeat three times. Then,
inhale slowly to a count of 6 to 10; hold the breath to that same count; exhale to that
count and immediately inhale again to the same count. Repeat 6-10 times. Please
remember that these are preliminary breathing exercises, not the technique itself.
3) Now, without counting or tension, take a long slow deep breath. When the breath
begins to flow again, begin to observe its movement, without any attempt to control it.
Notice the place at which you can observe the breath in your body whether in the
lungs, in the nostrils, or sinuses. Be an impartial observer, not caring whether it flows
in or out or remains stationary. Simply remain attentive to whatever the breath does
by itself, naturally. Moving the forefinger of the right hand in for inhalation and out
for exhalation may be helpful for helping you tune into the breath.
4) Follow the inhalation with the mantra Hong (pronounced to rhyme with song) and
the exhalation with the mantra Sau (pronounced like saw). Repeat the mantra
mentally only. Be careful not to move the lips or tongue. Hong-Sau is a Sanskrit
mantra meaning I am He or I am Spirit.
5) As your practice deepens, begin to enjoy the pauses between the inhalations and the
exhalations, when the breath is not flowing. Do not actively hold the breath in or out.
As many times as your mind wanders away from Hong-Sau, bring it gently back to the
6) After your period of practice of this technique (5-10 minutes is fine for beginners,
gradually increasing the time as you go) inhale and exhale 3 times, and then leave the
breath out as long as is comfortable. Then begin breathing normally.
7) Throughout the practice, keep your eyes closed and looking upward towards the
point between the eyebrows; don't strain your eyes; let them relax!
8) After completing your practice of Hong-Sau, be sure to sit in silence and stillness for
at least as long as you practiced the technique. Practice devotion, inward chanting,
visualization, or prayer.

Women forever are in love with flowers. They love the floral prints on their attire. They love to make themselves and their ambiance fragrant with sweet essence of flowers; i.e. the perfumes and the room fresheners they pick smell like sweet flowers. They love to knit or embroider floral designs on their home furnishings. Even they choose jewelries shaped like flowers such as blue bells or Rose studs for their ear etc.
Their innate and very feminine love affair with flowers often inspires them to tuck flowers into their hair as well. In fact decorating hair with flowers is not only a popular hairstyle but a tradition in many parts of the world. If you are really tired of hair straightening, perms and coloration and want to try something new, decorating hair with flowers could really be a great idea. It will not only be a new mode of hair styling but will also make your hair look colorful and vibrant.

Second victim of Ngongongeri farm attacks dies in hospital
Tuesday March 15 2016
A second victim of the Ngongongeri attacks died on Sunday night while undergoing treatment at the Nakuru Level Five Hospital, it has been revealed.
According to hospital authorities Mr Benson Kiplang'at, who had numerous arrow injuries, collapsed and died minutes after arriving at the hospital.
"The victim collapsed and died on arrival at the facility at around 7pm," said a nurse who sought anonymity as she is not allowed to speak on behalf of the Hospital.
The deceased had been rushed to the hospital together with his friend Mr Hillary Keitany who is still recuperating at the hospital following the Sunday night retaliation attacks.
The two were shot with arrows by a group of youths said to be on a revenge mission following the killing of their kin earlier in the day.
On Sunday morning Mr Stephen Munyiriri was shot by a civilian gun holder and died on the spot sparking protests from members of his Ogiek community who burnt several houses on Sunday night.
According to Mr Keitany, a group of youths caught up with them as they walked along the farm and tied them with ropes before shooting them with arrows.
He added that the attackers appeared angered by the day's incident of the shooting of their kin.
The late Munyiriri was allegedly shot by Mr Kenneth Komen, a licenced gun holder and owner of a parcel of land in the disputed farm as they argued over fencing posts.
Mr Komen, who later presented himself to the police, was Monday charged with murder in the High Court in Nakuru.
Lady Justice Janet Mulwa allowed the application by the prosecution to have the accused remanded at Njoro Police Station pending investigations into the incident.
The accused will again be arraigned in court on March 21, 2016 for further directions.
During the Sunday night retaliation attacks, more than 20 houses were destroyed despite a heavy presence of police.
Mr Justus Kurei, a village elder from the Ogiek community, accused the police of taking sides saying they failed to act when members of the Tugen community destroyed their houses.
He said that all the houses that were destroyed Monday belonged to the Ogiek community only noting that that those destroying the houses were leaving nothing behind.
The Sunday night attacks prompted politicians and leaders from the region to call for a peace meeting at the expansive Ngongongeri farm which was only attended by members of the Ogiek community whose kin was shot dead on Sunday morning.
Among those in attendance were Nakuru Deputy Governor Joseph Ruto, Molo MP Jacob Macharia and Nessuit MCA Samuel Tanui.
The leaders called on the National Land Commission (NLC) to speed up the process of solving conflicts especially those involving ancestral land.
"It is such delays that are causing anxiety among the communities involved as they don't know the way forward," said the deputy governor.
While calling upon the communities to observe peace as the matter is being solved, the Molo MP said the National Assembly and NLC should be allowed to deal with the troubling ancestral land matters.
Members of the Ogiek community called on NLC to solve the Ngongongeri stand-off saying it is one of the historical land injustices in the country.
Even as the controversy surrounding the 26,000 acres Ngongongeri land rages on, details have also emerged of influential people owning huge chunks of the disputed land which, it is alleged, they were allocated by the Kanu regime.

A Missouri woman is charged with more than 12 felony counts. She is alleged to have written numerous bad checks on business checks for her day care company. She is also alleged to have taken extra debits from customers bank accounts, though it is reported that some have had their money returned.
In Missouri, if a person passes a bad check for the amount of $500 or more, they could be charged with a Class C Felony. Felony charges are serious matters that require experienced criminal defense. Convictions on a charge such as this can carry prison sentences up to 7 years and expensive fines. If you have been charged with Felony Check Fraud, you need an experienced St. Louis Defense Attorney to represent you. If you are convicted, you risk permanent damage to your record and possible difficulty finding a job. Don't risk your future, get represented now.

Rihanna, with her pretty smile and all, comes off as a rather kind and warmhearted person. But the singer has shown in the past that she can become the total opposite when she needs to, and recently she made that transformation when a blog site criticized her for an outfit that she wore.
After asking their audience "Yay or Nay" in regards to a particular outfit that Ri Ri was strutting around in, they sent a Tweet saying "Dear Rihanna, you've gone a little too far with this outfit. May be time to class it up a bit."
The songwriter took exception to the implication and responded back with a tweet that really sums up how incredibly aggressive she can be when rubbed the wrong way.
She tweeted "Your p***y is way too dry to be riding my d**k like this."
Was this the type of reaction you could have expected from Rihanna?

"white cooking" vs " black cooking"
Quoting LectioDivina:
Butter vs. Lard?
Maybe from down South, which wouldnt be a black thing but a Southern thing. Ive been around black people my whole life. My SO of 7 years is black and I have NEVER once seen or heard of any of the black people I know using lard to cook.
I am very mixed! I use spices that Blacks would use I also use Hungarian spices Thai spices (lived in Thailand for a couple of years) Cuban spices it just depends on what I am cooking! I love to cook and bake Sunday is my baking and cooking day since I am in school full-time and so is my wife and I like a home cooked meal every day! So we have food in the freezer cooked or ready to go in the crock pot, breads and such for the week as well.
I experiment a lot I love those flavored syrups and today I am making salted Carmel sticky buns they smell yummy and they are just in the bread maker!
Quoting Anonymous:
I have my own way of cooking no race involved!
Some curry goat sounds pretty good at the moment 🐐
Quoting A.B.C.brown07:
Lol. It's more a "cultural" thing, no different than how the French and English start each meal with warm tea.
Black people have a cultural of food which includes certain dishes derived from years ago.
I think it's immature to really classify it as a "black/white" thing
Hispanics, Asians, europeans, Canadians, etc. not to mention "northerners" and "southerners" of America . we all have cultural differences in our food and ways of cooking
ETA: again, not all black people are American heritage and like "soul" food. My family is Guyanese and our cultural dishes are Caribbean (curry, jerk chicken, ox tails, etc)
This is why this argument is silly
Didn't know there was a difference lol. I just like southern food :)
I think it should be more like..Is there a difference in yankee and southern cooking..Yankees cook "white people food" and southerners cook "black people food"..Black people food is way better!

Milton Mathis Executed
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — Convicted killer Milton Mathis was executed Tuesday evening for fatally shooting two people inside a Houston crack house in 1998, becoming the sixth death row inmate executed in Texas this year.
The lethal injection was carried out shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected appeals from his defense attorneys, who argued that Mathis was mentally impaired and therefore ineligible for execution.
Mathis, 32, was condemned for a shooting spree that killed Travis Brown III, 24, and Daniel Hibbard, 31, less than two weeks before Christmas in 1998. A 15-year-old girl, Melony Almaguer, also was shot and left paralyzed. Source

Justice was served in Alabama yesterday.
ATMORE, Alabama -- Eddie Duval Powell was executed by lethal injection tonight at Holman Prison in Alabama.
It was Alabama's fourth execution this year, the third under Gov. Robert Bentley.
Powell was pronounced dead at 6:30 p.m.
Powell was convicted of the 1995 murder, rape and sodomy of 70-year-old Mattie Wesson during the burglary of her home in Holt in Tuscaloosa County. He was assigned to death row in 1998 and has served 12 years, 9 months, and 9 days in prison. Source
Lee Taylor Executed
Texas serves justice tonight.
Taylor, 32, used an ice-pick-like weapon made in prison to stab fellow inmate Donta Greene multiple times in what the Texas Department of Criminal Justice describes as a fight stemming from racial tension. Taylor, who is white, was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, according to the department. Greene was black. Source

Bass Pro Shop Salesman
A woman goes into Bass Pro Shop to buy a rod and reel for her grandson's birthday. She doesn't know which one to get so she just grabs one and goes over to the counter.
A Bass Pro Shop associate is standing there wearing dark shades. She says, "Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?" He says, "Ma'am, I'm completely blind; but if you'll drop it on the counter, I can tell you everything from the sound it makes." She doesn't believe him but drops it on the counter anyway. He says, "That's a six-foot Shakespeare graphite rod with a Zebco 404 reel and 10-LB. test line. It's a good all-around combination and it's on sale this week for only $20.00." She says, "It's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I'll take it!" As she opens her purse, her credit card drops on the floor. "Oh, that sounds like a Master Card," he says. She bends down to pick it up and accidentally farts. At first she is really embarrassed, but then realizes there is no way the blind clerk could tell it was she who tooted. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around.
The man rings up the sale and says, "That'll be $34.50 please." The woman is totally confused by this and asks, "Didn't you tell me the rod and reel were on sale for $20.00? How did you get $34.50?" He replies, "Yes, Ma'am. The rod and reel is $20.00, but the Duck Call is $11.00 and the Bear Repellent is $3.50."

Gayland Bradford Executed
Texas serves justice.
The coward that shot a security guard in the back is now bacteria food.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — Convicted killer Gayland Bradford was executed Wednesday for the $7 robbery-slaying of a Dallas grocery store security guard almost 23 years ago.
Bradford, 42, was pronounced dead at 6:25 p.m. Wednesday, nine minutes after the lethal drugs began.
Bradford already was on parole for a robbery conviction when he was arrested for gunning down 29-year-old Brian Williams four days after Christmas in 1988. The shooting came on Williams' second day on the job at the market a few miles south of downtown Dallas. Source
