Do You Get Along With Your In-Laws?
I remember long ago—back when I first started homeschooling—I was part of an online message board community of hip, cool, motivated, smart homeschooling parents. I don't even know why they let me in their group. I'm still wondering.
Anyway, one of the things I learned during my observances and participation on this message board of hip, cool, motivated, smart homeschooling parents was that not everyone's experience with in-laws is positive and harmonious. I'd read lamentation after lamentation of monster mothers-in-law and wretched sisters-in-law, and crazy fathers-in-law, all the while reflecting upon the relationships I have with mine. I'd sit there lactating and think, dismissively, "What's so difficult? How hard can it be? Can't you just decide you're going to get along and be the better person?"
I diplomatically posed that question one night when I was hopped up on caffeine and Prolactin, after reading a thread between some ladies, one of whom was discussing her and her husband's total estrangement from his parents—caused, evidently, by the mother's "terrible treatment" of her daughter-in-law.
"I know I don't know all the circumstances and I don't want to presume to be the most qualified to comment," I offered. "But what if you just woke up tomorrow and decided that you, from that day forward, were going to foster a harmonious relationship with your mother-in-law? It sounds like she probably isn't being as kind as she should, but do you think you could chalk that up to her having been the primary female in your husband's life for so many years, and maybe she's just experiencing some pain associated with the transition?"
I continued. My baby was fussy. It was going to be a long night. "But assuming it takes two to continue a conflict, what if you just decided that nothing she says or does from here on out is going to hurt your feelings? What if you were the bigger person, and instantly forgave her whenever she threw zingers at you? It might make your life more pleasant, and might free you up from trying to decipher her behavior all the time."
Later, when my baby latched on for his 92nd feeding of the night, I logged onto the message board and read the woman's reply.
"Well, that might be a valid approach with some people," she wrote. "But how 'bout this? For the first five years of our marriage, my mother-in-law never said one word to me. We'd go to their house for dinner and if I spoke to her she'd turn around and walk away. At the dinner table, I'd ask her questions and she'd pretend I wasn't there. It just got to the point that being around her was too hurtful."
And then another gal added to the thread.
"Yeah, Ree. That's a nice sentiment, but my sister-in-law was so threatened by my entrance into the family that she slashed my tires so I couldn't attend Christmas at the family home. Then last year at Easter, she physically attacked me while the kids were hunting Easter eggs. I had to get nineteen stitches."
Seriously. Some of these stories would make the chambers of your heart shrivel to the size of raisins.
The thread grew and grew, and throughout the night I nursed my baby and scrolled through the myriad messages and absorbed, horror story after horror story, the terrible and toxic relationships many of these parents had with their in-laws. I went to bed for seven years, I was so depressed.
But the conversation taught me a lot. Not everyone's experience is the same. And while I do believe it's best just to smile and have fun with your in-laws—even if they're grumpy buttheads—I also realize there are some situations that warrant drawing the line.
Easter Day assaults are probably among them. ESPECIALLY if they happen during the egg hunt. Sheesh.
And I learned two important things. One, don't ever oversimplify other people's experiences while you're postpartum and sleep deprived in the middle of the night. Some things are black-and-white. But many things aren't.
And two, I'm lucky. The relationship I have with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law (above) is good. Not that we spend every moment together or necessarily have identical interests. For instance, I choose not to saddle horses. I don't want to show off. Missy, on the other hand, can saddle a horse with both hands tied behind her back. You should see it.
But we're friends, and we help one another. And I actually have the advantage: I had four children to Missy's two, so I've netted many more hours of assistance than I've doled out.
"Don't worry. I'm keeping track."
Don't EVER cross Missy. She forgets nothing.

I think it's important to have a good relationship with your in-laws. The Society to Save Endangered Species was formed by Fred Smilek and two of his colleagues; Charlie Mack & Jonathan Korny. Fred Smilek stays active in raising awareness for this cause. [www.fredjsmilek.com]

I really love that I was not the only one to clarify where the "crazy" comes from- "My husbands brothers WIFE"… Its those crazy outlaws that come in and put a bitterness in everyones world… but thankfully my children will not have to bear that DNA.
Neighbor_Nancy On Friday, March 27 at 2:36 pm
I am sooo lucky, and I know it! I get along with all my in-laws (even the ex-in-laws!). My ex-mother-in-law even attended my wedding to my current husband. She traveled to Europe with me and we stayed with my current in-laws for over 2 weeks!
I was so lucky with my in-laws that it never occurred to me it would be harder getting along with my daughter-in-law. We are both working hard on the relationship, and each passing year gets better.
Kae On Friday, March 27 at 4:54 pm
My first husband died, and his mother, Thelma, was very immature–really. We got along "okay" but not great. Then I remarried. We were both older, not living close to family, but I knew I was in trouble when he told me, "Oh, my mother's name is Thelma." We don't see each other much, or call too often either. Best that way.
Kristin On Friday, March 27 at 5:15 pm
Do I get along with my in-laws. For the most part, yes. Currently my father-in-law isn't speaking to us. He's waiting for an apology for something we took a stand on. We took a stand to refuse to put our children in a situation we felt was morally inapporpriate for their young developing minds. He will be waiting for that apology for a long time. As far as we are concerned the issue is over and we've moved on. He hasn't. It pains me to see him to choose to wallow in his anger and self-created misery, but there is nothing more I can do. (well, other than to wimp out and give up my values – I'm not going to do that. Neither is my husband) My mother-in-law and brother-in-law still speak to us and visit, so at least our kids have that. :0)
Donna On Saturday, March 28 at 8:01 am
I have the BEST in-laws in the world.
My dad passed away about 14 years ago. My father-in-law has filled that empty spot.
My mother-in-law is a true saint. Alwasys giving never taking.
Both of them could not love my girls or their other grandchildren more. Always there for their special events. Always attentive to what is going on in their lives.
I am blessed beyond measure with my in-laws. Truly one oof my greatest blessings.
Love them both!

Doughnuts you say?? Here is the best doughnut recipe I have EVER found!! (From allrecipes.com)
* 2 (.25 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
* 1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
* 1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 2 eggs
* 1/3 cup shortening
* 5 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
I had to double the icing recipe……
* 1/3 cup butter
* 2 cups confectioners' sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
* 4 tablespoons hot water or as needed
1. Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water, and let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the yeast mixture, milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, and 2 cups of the flour. Mix for a few minutes at low speed, or stirring with a wooden spoon. Beat in remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough into a greased bowl, and cover. Set in a warm place to rise until double. Dough is ready if you touch it, and the indention remains.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and gently roll out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with a floured doughnut cutter. Let doughnuts sit out to rise again until double. Cover loosely with a cloth.
4. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in hot water one tablespoon at a time until the icing is somewhat thin, but not watery. Set aside.
5. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slide doughnuts into the hot oil using a wide spatula. Turn doughnuts over as they rise to the surface. Fry doughnuts on each side until golden brown. Remove from hot oil, to drain on a wire rack. Dip doughnuts into the glaze while still hot, and set onto wire racks to drain off excess. Keep a cookie sheet or tray under racks for easier clean up!
Hope you like 'em!

My mother-in-law called the day after we married to see what I had cooked her baby for breakfast. (We had a delayed honeymoon). It was in that moment that I wondered what I had gotten myself into. It was all downhill from there. Eventually, I learned that probably no matter who my husband married….the woman would not be good enough for her son…the baby of three boys. My MIL and I learned to tolerate each other. The day she died, I was sad for my husband and two children, but I did not shead a tear. She definitely taught me what not be when I may possibly be the MIL one day.
Susan On Monday, March 30 at 2:43 am
You are really lucky to have such a wonderful family. My in-laws are strong, demanding and forceful people. They like to be heard and for others to do as they would. They drive me crazy and since I no longer have a husband as a go-between, there is often a lot of tension. Still, they love my son and I and would really do anything for us and that makes them wonderful people. There are many times they've made me so angry I've cried, but there are also so many good times and I've learnt just to bite my tongue to keep the peace, as I'm sure they do too…
Eli On Monday, March 30 at 3:28 pm
Because of my in-laws, and my own family too, I coined my own phrase, "It stops hurting when you stop expecting people to do the right thing, or act in the right manner".
Works every time.
Melanie On Saturday, May 23 at 8:49 pm
I know I'm late to this conversation, but I'm still catching up I am also very lucky to have great in-laws on all sides. My husband and I actually talk about this periodically, so thankful are we not to have the struggle that some of our peers have with difficult/strained family relationships. Now, some of my biological family members, on the other hand….
Vienna Brewer On Friday, June 19 at 11:37 am
Don't feel bad. I've done a lot worse hopped up on postpartum hormones. They are a bit like drugs. They intensify your personality. I shudder to think how people view me when I'm normal.
Anonymous On Tuesday, July 21 at 2:32 pm
I don't think my future in-laws care for me too much. They're pleasant enough when I'm around, but I always have a feeling that I'm being judged. My MIL has a tendency to make back-handed comments, but she does it in a nice tone so you can't really say anything to her. And on more that one occasion she's tried to convince her son not to marry me, for reasons including weight and family differences. She's one of those people that unless you know her on a personal level, you think she's the nicest person you've ever met. It's hard, because I like her, and then I think of the things she has done and said, and I don't want to be bothered by them, but I am. Then I think "Oh I'll just be the bigger person, and continue be sweet and nice" but then I hear things she says about me to others and I feel like an idiot for opening myself up to ridicule.

April 1, 1919.
The Stanley Cup series in Seattle, Washington between NHL champion Montreal Canadiens and Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) champion Seattle Metropolitans stands at 2-2-1.*
Game Six is five hours away and the Canadiens are in serious trouble. Players Joe Hall, Newsy Lalonde, Louis Berlinquette, Billy Couture, Jack McDonald and owner George Kennedy are all struck with dreaded Spanish Influenza symptoms. They are admitted immediately to a local Seattle hospital; all are reported to have fevers ranging between 101-105ºF.
In an attempt to continue the series, Kennedy asks permission to use players from the PCHA Victoria Aristocrats, but PCHA league president Frank Patrick denies the request. With no other choice and little time remaining, Game Six is cancelled. Kennedy cedes the series, and the Cup, to Seattle.
Metropolitans manager/coach Pete Muldoon refuses to accept. In his mind, catastrophic illness forced the series to a halt and was not any fault of the Canadiens. Therefore, it would be unsportsmanlike to him to accept a victory under these circumstances.
On April 5, 1919 "Bad" Joe Hall dies of flu-related pneumonia. Despite the nickname "Bad," Hall was "one of the jolliest, best-hearted, most popular men who ever played," according to Frank Patrick.
Lalonde, Berlinquette, Couture and McDonald all make a full recovery. Kennedy's condition, on the other hand, declines so much his wife rushes from Montreal to his bedside. He never fully recovers and despite the care of excellent Canadian and American doctors, dies two years later at age 39.
After the Cup is redesigned in 1948, the space for the 1919 champion simply reads:
Montreal Canadiens
Seattle Metropolitans
Series Not Completed
Until 2005**, this was the only time in which a Stanley Cup champion was left undecided. In 2005 it was for contract/money disputes. In 1919, it was left undecided for all the right reasons.

44-Year-Old Mother Of 3 Caught Naked With Gun Pleasuring Herself Outside Red Roof Inn
Vikki Myers is 44-years-old and likes to keep herself happy. That is precisely what she was doing when she was caught by a cop, naked with a gun and pleasure devices.
Vikki was staying at the Red Rood Inn in Naperville, Illinois with her 3 kids when she decided she would retreat to her mini van outside the Inn and masturbate.
Around the same time, a cop was prowling the area on surveillance on another call when he saw a naked woman in a 2002 minivan. The situation seemed rather suspicious so he went up to the door and saw Vicki naked. At first Vicki claimed she was merely changing her clothes in the car. Her story would've been plausible if only the cop would never had witnessed the loaded gun along with some female self-pleasuring devices.
Vikki then gave in and confessed that she wanted some time for herself while her kids remained inside. She also said she'd just moved to Illinois from Texas and was unaware that northern cops aren't ok with the fact that people driving are carrying loaded guns.
What's interesting about the entire incident is that Vikki wasn't charged with public lewdness for her 'self' activities. She was only charged with unlawful use of a weapon. And by the looks of her mug shot, Vikki must have reached 'happy' when she was found by the cop.

Hicks grows into Warriors' leadership role
When you're 6-9, you're going to attract a certain amount of attention.
That's just the way it is.
But not all tall guys can play basketball as well as Webb big man Isaiah Hicks, the McDonald's All-American who has signed a letter-of-intent to attend North Carolina next season.
Hicks added some more hardware to his collection over the weekend when he was named the most valuable player of the 3-A Eastern Regional playoffs after his Warriors from Oxford got by reigning state champ Rocky Mount.
That win put Webb in Saturday's championship game against Statesville in N.C. State's Reynolds Coliseum (7:30 p.m., Time Warner Cable 520).
Against Rocky Mount, Hicks had 22 points, nine rebounds and five shot blocks, putting up some of those numbers in spectacular fashion.
"Every time I think I've seen everything (that is) up that kid's sleeves, he goes and does something different," Webb coach Leo Brunelli said. "That's a credit to his upside. I think, really, we're scraping the surface with him.
"He is by far probably the best player I've coached, or will ever coach, and might quite be the finest young man I've ever had the opportunity to work with. I'm not talking about basketball. I'm talking about off the court, how he carries himself. He's a genuine, good kid. ... When you have that kind of combination, he's going to make it in life, whether it's in basketball or whatever he does."
Hicks is not the type to beat on his chest or pretend to rip open his shirt after dunking on somebody.
And there was that time when Hicks picked up a technical foul for yapping at a guy. He told Brunelli it wouldn't happen again, and that was the end of it, Brunelli said.
Brunelli recalled another example of Hicks' approach coming out after another game during the Eastern Regional in Fayetteville.
"He's unselfish," Brunelli said. "He cared more about, afterwards, that everyone got their order at McDonald's on the drive back to the hotel room and no one got shorted on any french fries.
"That's who he is."
Brunelli said the Warriors are not a one-man show, because there were other individuals on the squad who made teams pay.
"On the other hand, what's also very good to know is — in my brain, going every time I step on the court — I've got the best player out there," Brunelli said of Hicks.
Hicks and fellow Warriors senior Bryan Smith have been terrific leaders, making sure horseplay was kept at a minimum so Webb's coaches could do their jobs, Brunelli said.
"Right now, we're starting to click on all cylinders," Brunelli said. "I'm pretty sure we haven't played our best game, and that's going to be Saturday night."

Tarpon Springs celebrates 105th Epiphany
Andrea Lypka
WMNF Drive-Time News Thursday | Listen to this entire show:
Once a year the fishing village of Tarpon Springs in Pinellas County becomes an important religious and cultural center. Tarpon Springs hosts what some consider the largest Greek Orthodox celebration outside of Greece, organizers say. This year, hundreds of Greeks and spectators celebrated the Epiphany, the baptism of Jesus with folk dances, music, prayer, and a procession to Spring Bayou ending with a plunge to retrieve a cross on January 6.
The Epiphany has been more than a celebration of the Greek Orthodox faith for the past 105 years. It is a commemoration of cultural heritage for 16-year-old Nicholas Tabus from Tarpon Springs High School.
âToday Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River representing the Trinity. It has been going on for 105 years; this will be the 105th year. There is a plethora of meaning involved in the entire Tarpon Springs Epiphany celebration,â Tabus said.
Greek immigrants in Tarpon Springs built a large industry harvesting sponges by boat in the Gulf of Mexico. Tabus participated in the Blessing of the Fleet at the Sponge Docks on January 5th when father Vasileios Tsourlis of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church blessed the fishermen, the boats and the local businesses. Tabus is also one of the 78 young men who dove for a white cross in the murky water the next day.
âThis is my first year diving and since I was a little kid, I have been watching the Epiphany divers and this is what I have always wanted to do,â he said.
Another diver, Henry Coburn, says the Epiphany celebration in Tarpon Springs is one of the largest Greek Orthodox celebrations in the world.
âWe are one of the larger groups that celebrate this much on a larger scale. It is the largest epiphany from anywhere besides Greece,â he said.
For Coburnâs mother, Mary Klimis Coburn, the event is the American Dream come true. Her grandfather was one of the early spongers who immigrated with his brothers from Greece in 1910. Since then sponge diving became a family tradition.
âMy father, Harry Klimis, who is thank God alive with us, he used to sponge with my grandfather here in Tarpon in the waters of the river. He now has a sponge business here on the docks. He now stays with his sponges. He was a pharmacist but he retired and came back and did that. So my family is really a pioneer family because they were one of the first ones to come over when the sponge industry was born here in Tarpon,â she said.
Mary Klimis Coburn says that the fishing village of Tarpon Springs is her âlittle Greeceâ because her whole family is involved in the local community. Her husband converted to Greek Orthodoxy, her children learned the Greek language, her daughter, Emilia was last yearâs dove bearer and this year her son, Henry dove for the cross.
âThey have an opportunity in this town because of the concentration of Greek people to maintain a lot of their culture and it is almost like the community is fostering it because they enjoy their heritage and they continue to perpetuate it over the years. It has become something the town is known for and people come to see. So itâs still alive here,â she said.
This year, choir member Stavroula Zoi Karavokiros released a white dove which symbolizes the Holy Spirit. This day is a bitter sweet day for her because she misses her father who works in Greece where he runs a rock quarry business. But she also celebrates her new life after having two heart transplants.
âI feel blessed because I've been through a lot. It's an honor for me. I hope to be a successful Christian, Greek Orthodox Christian and I just, I hope for everybody too, are blessed like I am today."
Stavroula credits her current strength and well being to Father Vasileios Tsourlis and the community in Tarpon Springs.
"Happy New Year to all of you with health and love for everybody. And unity to all the nations."

Radioisotopes in our backyard The Daily Observer (Pembroke) Sat 30 Jul 2005 Byline: Frank Van Hoof Editor's note: In this week's submission from our 2005 Community Editorial Board, Frank van Hoof says we have a Canadian success story right here... In a Texas hospital, a man lays on a platform, while a large machine circles his body. Nearby, a technician watches a three-dimensional image of his kidney emerge on a computer screen. An hour later, the doctor diagnoses the cause of his kidney malfunction and recommends treatment. At the same time, a young girl in Ottawa is given an injection, and after a short wait, lays under a similar 'camera' while images of her beating heart are recreated on a computer. The doctor is able to pinpoint a leaking valve and plot a course of action to repair the problem. In London, England, a woman breathes in a fine mist, while technicians take a diagnostic image of her lungs. A middle-aged man in Los Angeles enters a clinic for his prostate cancer treatment. In a non-surgical procedure, several seeds of radioactive iodine are injected into the tumour. As he leaves for home a few hours later, the seeds are already treating the cancer. A young woman in Vermont is given an injection to cure her hyperactive thyroid. Meanwhile, at a cancer clinic in Osaka, Japan, a woman receives radiation treatment for a tumour found on her breast. Is this a futuristic dream, or reality? What do these scenarios have in common? First, they are all part of a very real branch of health care called nuclear medicine, which involve the application of radioisotopes - radioactive cousins of elements like iodine, cobalt, xenon and molybdenum. Secondly, the isotopes were likely produced in the Valley, at Chalk River Laboratories. For many Valley residents, the activities up at "The Plant" are a mystery. Most people realize that it has something to do with the CANDU reactor system that generates much of our power in Ontario. Not many realize that AECL is in the business of saving lives, producing more than half of the world's medical isotopes. Nuclear medicine has two main uses: diagnostic imaging, to 'look' inside the human body without surgery, and various forms of therapy, mostly to destroy cancer. Diagnostic imaging involves attaching a radioisotope to a carrier that seeks out a part of the body that the doctor wants to 'see.' A small amount of this mixture is injected into the patient, who waits until it reaches the target location. Then, the patient lies down while a special camera and computer use the weak gamma rays emitted by the isotope to create an image. The camera can take still images or create movies of functioning organs such as a beating heart. All of this is painless to the patient and is performed without scalpels. The patient usually goes home a few hours later. The isotope depletes quickly and is excreted from the body. The isotopes used in nuclear medicine have short half-lives (the time it takes the isotope to be reduced to half its strength), ranging from a few hours to a few days. Because of this, a 'just in time' delivery schedule is required. Currently, isotopes like "Moly-99" are produced in the NRU reactor at Chalk River, then removed and shipped to a hot cell for processing. The material is quickly delivered to MDS Nordion in Ottawa, where further processing occurs. Within hours, the product, now divided into many packages, is flown to pharmaceutical companies around the world. After further processing and packaging, the final product is delivered to hundreds of hospitals, where it must be used in less than three days. The whole process is like shipping an iceberg to the middle of the Sahara desert! Approximately 34,000 diagnostic procedures are carried out every day, using isotopes produced at Chalk River. Other isotopes like cobalt-60 have another purpose: killing cancer. Chalk River was responsible for inventing the use of cobalt-60 for therapeutic treatments in the early 1950s. Cobalt has been the isotope of choice for cancer therapy for decades and is used in machines manufactured by MDS Nordion. Cobalt treatment has been credited with saving or prolonging the lives of literally millions of people. Chalk River produces about 80 per cent of the world's cobalt, which is used for a further 33,000 treatments per day. In total, isotopes made at Chalk River directly affect the lives of 67,000 people each day around the world. There's a good chance you know someone whose health has benefited from the technology. Nuclear medicine is a great Canadian success story, and it's one that started - and continues today - right here in your backyard!

Wherefore I and Cadmus, whom thou jeerest so, will wreath our brows with ivy and join the dance; pair of grey beards though we be, still must we take part therein; never will I for any words of thine fight against heaven.

Cyber-revolt: Digg, Wikipedia, Slashdot
Andrew Lih's got the scoop on the cyber-revolt over censorship of the new HD-DVD hack that came out yesterday.
And then I saw the elements align perfectly for this disaster:
* The issue: copyright of movies and video
* The technology: encryption key of HD-DVD discovered
* The community: digg.com users who posted the key
* The conflict: "censorship� of the key by digg.com higher ups
* The villain: the MPAA, RIAA and the Advanced Access Content System
* The co-conspirator: digg.com
What happened was an all-out cyber-revolt, with the three most visible and popular usergen sites in the crosshairs — Digg.com, Slashdot and Wikipedia. It shows both the power and the danger of crowdsourcing, and the fickle balance between the mob and the operators.
After an incredible protest, Digg agreed to keep the data posted.
This is quite unprecedented — you basically have a multi-million dollar enterprise intimidated by its mob community into taking a stance that is rather clearly against the law.
It's even more fascinating if you realize the amounts of money being considered here. Business Week had a front cover story about Digg, where they said,
So far, Digg is breaking even on an estimated $3 million annually in revenues. Nonetheless, people in the know say Digg is easily worth $200 million.
This hundred million dollar company has decided to follow its crowd, and face the music (and movie industry). It shows that this Web 2.0 has a dynamic very distinct from the original dot-com boom of the 1990s.

Faculty-Led Education Abroad Proposal Process
Thank you for taking the time to consider organizing a UNL Faculty-Led Education Abroad offering. Teaching a course abroad takes a considerable amount of time, effort, and organization, and we appreciate the fact that you are dedicated to supporting our UNL students and their efforts to become globally engaged and aware. We look forward to partnering with you in this endeavor.
This document is intended to outline the steps needed to take in order to plan, propose, and develop a faculty-led course abroad. Please discuss any details or concerns that you may have with Education Abroad Office (EAO) staff, as well as with your department chair/head and deans. You do not have to do this alone. The EAO staff will work with you on the non-academic aspects of design including housing and transportation, budget development, marketing, and safety, liability and communication issues.
- Step 1: Consult with your department chair/head about your proposed course. Ideally, proposed courses will satisfy major, minor, college or ACE requirements. Discuss how the proposed course fits into the departmental and college curriculum, as well as any cross-listing possibilities. In addition, schedule an appointment to discuss the offering with the Education Abroad Office. This appointment will help us help you.
- Step 2: Draft a proposal (see guidelines below). Before and during the proposal-writing process, contact potential on-site coordinators and in-country contacts for activity and cost information. The EAO can assist you with this. If you offered a course abroad in the past, please use these guidelines and schedule to inform your department/college and the EAO of your intention to repeat it. You may include materials from previous years, address logistical or budgetary issues, and outline any improvements you plan to make.
- Step 3: Submit your proposal to your department chair/head for review and approval.
- Step 4: Upon approval from your chair/head, submit your proposal to your college dean or designee for review and approval.
- Step 5: Submit the signed Faculty Leader Proposal Agreement and Department and College Proposal Agreement along with your proposal to the EAO for review of financial, travel, health, and safety logistics. If applicable, the EAO will share concerns and recommendations with you and your department/college. Again, EAO wants to work with you throughout the proposal process.
- Step 6: Your department and/or college will notify you of formal approval and submit a request to have the course listed. Please share the course name and number, term/session, and number of (variable or fixed) credits with the EAO so that we can better assist you by advising students accurately.
Education Abroad proposal narratives should include the following:
- Learning Outcomes: Please list 3-5 key learning outcomes for students.
- Program Description: In 2-3 paragraphs, please provide an overview of the offering describing location, type of program (resident-‐based in one location, language study, itinerant "study tour"), key benefits, etc.
- Leader Biography: Describe the faculty leader(s)' prior experience in the host country/region and level of local language proficiency (if the official language is not English).
- Relationship to Other UNL Study Abroad Offerings: To determine if there are any other UNL courses operating in the proposed host country/region or offering similar academic content, review a listing of current offerings on the EAO website or contact EAO staff members for assistance. Specifically address: a) opportunities for cooperation with other UNL courses (or those of other universities), and b) potential undesirable consequences of competing with established UNL courses for interested students.
- Field Experiences and Guest Lecturers: Provide an overview of the degree to which field trips, host institution faculty, and aspects of the host culture and environment will complement and be integrated into the offering. Indicate the nature and level of contacts already made. Estimate the number of contact hours to be provided through field experiences.
- Logistical Arrangements: Provide a description of desired logistical arrangements, including student housing and meals, classrooms, and educational excursions. Indicate whether visas will be required for U.S. citizens (also important for budget purposes).
- Student Qualifications: Specify minimum, as well as desirable, student qualifications (GPA, prerequisites, etc.) for enrollment in the course. Please indicate if students from other colleges and institutions will be eligible to participate.
- Student Enrollment/Recruitment: Estimate likely student enrollment; identify primary person(s) taking responsibility for recruiting students; and provide a reasonably detailed description of the plan to be used for recruitment. (EAO can assist with marketing.)
- Student Preparation: Describe any pre-departure preparation students will receive in addition to the general orientation program provided by the EAO.
- Evaluation/Assessment and Reentry Programming: How do you plan to help students process their academic and personal experience? Include your evaluation or assessment plan. Describe any planned post-course activities/events that are designed to help students process their experience. Remember: Students in all UNL courses must be offered an opportunity to assess the course and instructor.
- Health and Safety: Include a brief description of environment and logistical arrangements which addresses issues of health, safety, and security of students. Refer to the US State Department website for information on crime and other travel hazards, and the CDC website for health issues.
Proposals also should include the following attachments:
- Preliminary Budget for the offering developed in partnership with the Education Abroad Office, using the EAO budget template. The cost of an offering is one of the most important aspects of drafting a proposal. Upon college approval of your proposal, the EAO will meet with you to determine the final cost advertised to the students. Expenses associated with an education abroad offering are affected by a host of variables that may include location, strength of the U.S. dollar, student enrollment, airfare, lodging, field trips, lectures, etc. The more you can keep costs at a reasonable level, the greater the likelihood of a successful proposal and a full contingent of students. EAO staff are well experienced with budget preparation and eager to work with you to pull together a realistic budget and an affordable study abroad course. After a budget has been prepared and approved, EAO will manage it for you, working with the University to collect student charges, making payments to vendors, enabling advances, facilitating reimbursements, and assuring that you are in compliance with UNL policies.
- Schedule & Itinerary: Please include a provisional schedule and itinerary so that reviewers can see the planned structure of the offering, as well as view scheduled contact hours.
- Copy of your syllabus (fully developed).

The 1854 Grand Excursion
The June 1854 Grand Excursion was
a festive affair that carried hundreds of dignitaries on a combination
rail and steamboat ride from Chicago to Rock Island, Illinois then on to
St. Paul in Minnesota Territory. Just five months earlier, the railroad
had been completed that connected Chicago and the East to the Mississippi
River at Rock Island. The Grand Excursion celebrated the newly created
link between the rail system and steamboats, which were a thriving mode of
transportation on the Mississippi in the 1850's. For this occasion, over
six hundred people rode two long trains from Chicago to Rock Island,
thence traveled on five steamboats to St. Paul and back to Rock Island.
Among those invited to participate
in this celebration were several hundred prominent people, most from the
Eastern United States and Illinois, including former President Millard
Fillmore and many other politicians, journalists, clergy, business
leaders, academics, writers, and artists. The excursion exposed the
celebrants to a distinctively beautiful and bountiful section of the West.
Press coverage in numerous large city newspapers contributed substantially
to Easterners' images of the exotic but developing West.

New York Times calls Mario and Luigi 'janitors' in Hiroshi Yamauchi obit, publishes correction
The death of former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi was one of the biggest stories of last week, as the 85-year-old was one of the most influential people in making video games the popular medium they are today. That's part of why it's so ironic that the New York Times incorrectly reported on two of the most important video game characters that he helped create.
In the Times' obituary of Yamauchi, the newspaper wrote that the iconic Nintendo characters Mario and Luigi were janitors, incorrectly identifying their actual occupation as plumbers (or princess-savers, as they so often have to help royal damsels in distress).
"An obituary on Sept. 20 about Hiroshi Yamauchi, the longtime president of Nintendo, included a quotation from a 1988 New York Times article that inaccurately described the Nintendo video game Super Mario Bros. 2. The brothers Mario and Luigi, who appear in this and other Nintendo games, are plumbers, not janitors," the NYT correction reads.
Clearly whoever fact-checked this article did not grow up playing "Super Mario Bros." Though the Mario Bros.' trade doesn't really come into play with their games' storylines (with the exception of the pipes they use to travel), it is something that everyone will hopefully remember about the TV icons.

John Buck, Ike Davis and Mike Baxter Produce A Summer Breeze: No Offense Makes Watching The Mets Excruciating
Originally written on Mets360.com | Last updated 4/30/13
Full disclosure: your intrepid columnist did not watch or follow all of last night's (4/29) Mets game. He took an hour off to watch Revolution. That was probably the best move of the night, seeing as the game was near-unwatchable — fifteen innings worth of unwatchable. The Mets took a 2-1 lead into the ninth on the strength of a John Buck 4th inning home run. Bobby Parnell pitched pretty well to try and protect it, but got no help from his defense – Collin Cowgill, in particular – and the inning ended with the game tied. It was then that ennui set in. Baseball teams in general look pretty bad when they're not hitting. Couple that with shaky starting pitching four days out of five and an admittedly inept bullpen and you have…well…the Mets. Since Jordany Valdespin's walk-off slam vs. the Dodgers last Wednesday, the Mets have tallied five, three, eight and three hits respectively over the next four games. Unsurprisingly, they lost all four and the space between each hit w...

Innovative Small Farmer's Outreach Program
Lincoln University Cooperative Extension
The ISFOP is part of Lincoln University Cooperative Extension (LUCE), created to help the small farmers and ranchers of Missouri, especially those who are socially disadvantaged and under-served, to raise the level of efficiency on their farms while taking good care of the soil, water and the environment. A vast body of resources is available from universities, government agencies and all sorts of organizations for small farmers. Unfortunately, many of the small farmers and ranchers are unaware of the information and opportunities. ISFOP will make farmers aware and assist them to access these resources so that they may improve their farms and farming operations, which in turn will improve their overall well-being.
The information provided by ISFOP to small farmers will help them adapt to a rapidly changing farm economy. We work in partnership with University of Missouri Extension (UME), other USDA and state agencies, and non-governmental organizations to provide research-based information on various farm topics to help farmers:
- Lower input costs
- Improve farming skills
- Increase yields/ productions
- Improve record keeping systems
- Try new enterprises
- Find niche markets and improve marketing skills
- Add value to the harvest/ products

No lie: the past two weeks were brutal. Week One of classes is always rough, as your body adapts to the getting-up-on-school-hours thing while your brain still wants to go, go, go when you should be shutting down for the night. Add in developing and refining new morning routines, and it was not easy.
Last week was a new level of
hell stress as I continued trying to live in to the routine. It didn't help that I dropped my phone on Monday and shattered the cover (necessitating a run to get it fixed and more time out of my schedule). Wednesday I forgot a key piece of my pumping equipment, which made the day very NOT pleasant. I also tried juggling in student meetings in every free moment (which was GREAT because I WANT them to meet with me during the writing process, but stressful because I was just a mess last week). Thursday was simply long, and by Friday, the students were ready to leave at 8am because of the holiday weekend and the heat.
But then. THEN came the most glorious thing of all: a THREE-DAY WEEKEND!!!!!!!
Just think about that for a moment.
Three. GLORIOUS days. There were snuggles with the baby, walks with the dog, a visit to Grant's Farm, dinners with friends and family, opportunities to catch up on Broadchurch and check out Homeland, and – above all – time to prep and grade.
I feel much better now, thank you very much. I feel much more like myself and less like the not-so-fun madwoman version of myself.
This week will be epic.
These things will get easier, or at least I will discover how to adapt.
This week, I will breathe. And maybe watch more episodes of Love it or List it.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Apple has already laid the groundwork for a strong mobile payments service. The Cupertino-based tech giant has sold well over 500 million iPhones and iPads to date. The company has hundreds of millions of credit cards on file for its iTunes stores. If you own an iPhone 5S, it can use your fingerprint to confirm purchases. With iBeacon, it can even determine where you are inside a store. Now Apple may tie those elements together to challenge companies like PayPal, Square, and Stripe in the mobile payments business. App Store chief Eddy Cue has met with numerous payments executives to discuss the company's interest in building a payments business for physical goods and services, according to the Wall Street Journal. Apple is said to have met with at least five payments industry executives but reportedly tapped Jennifer Bailey, head of the company's online store, to build the new business. The push toward an expanded mobile payments service isn't an entirely new effort inside Apple, according to the Journal. In 2012, the publication reported that Apple began exploring mobile payments in 2011, even working on a "wallet app." But Apple ultimately scrapped the project over concerns about near-field-communication tech's battery drain — and about customer perception (vice president Phil Schiller feared that people might blame Apple for a bad experience with a merchant). Mobile payments is an increasingly hot business. Americans spent around $12.8 billion through mobile devices in 2012, and research firm Forrester expects that figure to jump to $90 billion by 2017. Earlier this week, Stripe announced $80 million in new funding, valuing the fast-growing payments startup at $1.75 billion. Mobile payments technology is still "in its infancy," Apple CEO Tim Cook told investors on an April 2013 conference call. The implication: If anyone has the resources, technology, and underlying advantages to create a compelling mobile payments service, it's Apple. Outside Apple's own digital wares, the company's foray into mobile payments has so far been limited to Passbook, its built-in app for storing mobile coupons, gift cards, electronic tickets, and making mobile payments by proxy. It's unclear whether a new mobile payments effort would build on Passbook or take the form of a separate wallet app. An Apple representative declined to comment on the company's mobile payments efforts.

Nexus 5 cases: 12 of the best money can buyAuthored by: Scott Adam Gordon — 7 months ago
We love the Nexus 5 here at AndroidPIT, and while some of us think we are too cool to actually protect the thing, some of us are so clumsy they're on their second or third Nexus 5 already. So if you don't feel like spending the money you saved by buying a Nexus 5 on getting another one when your drop the first, here are our picks for the twelve coolest Nexus 5 cases around.
- Nexus 5 Android update: when will I get it?
- Nexus 5 tips and tricks
- Common Nexus 5 problems and how to fix them
For the simplistic
Though the Acase Superleggera Pro Case may have the most complicated name on our list, the product is anything but. A mixture of polycarbonate outer and silicone interior, this simple case allows access to all of the Nexus 5 buttons while giving your phone what it needs to stay safe. It's slim, soft and doesn't scratch, but it's possibly a little on the pricey side at 24.95 USD.
For the all-round benefit
This is a nice effort from reputable brand Spigen. Great design with a scratch proof, see-through back panel, black side bumpers to defend against serious drops, "air cushion" technology on the corners, and complete access to all ports. At 9.99, it's a surprisingly high-quality case which does everything you could ask without taking anything away from the true Nexus 5 design. Not to be overlooked.
For the Star Wars nerd
There's nothing to be said about this case. If it's for you there's nothing I can say that will make you buy it any faster than you probably already are. For the Star Wars geeks out there, who wouldn't want Han Solo frozen in carbonite immortalized on the back of a smartphone named after the Bladerunner franchise? It doesn't get much more sci-fi invested than this for just 9.79 EUR.
For the purist
If you're of the elite that has never even touched an Android outside the Nexus line, for fear of being sullied by the experience, then there's really no two ways about it: you need an official LG QuickCover for your Nexus 5, sold direct from the Play Store, where all good Nexuses come from. If a front-flip cover is not quite your style you can also grab the official Google bumper case for the Nexus 5 (pictured at the top of the page) instead. They'll set you back 29.99/39.99 USD respectively.
For the SWAT Team
If you see yourself as a bit of urban assault type or perhaps an outdoor maniac that tends to damage your phone a lot through drops and the like, then perhaps you need this tactical hard case from Future Armor to protect your beloved while you're on a mission. 5.60 USD isn't a bad investment on some tactical gear for your Nexus 5.
For the executive
If you're a suited, briefcased and gentlemanly type that needs a smartphone case to match your latest dinner jacket, then the SOJITEK could be just as important to your self-presentation as your business card. It's all leather – so not exactly ideal for the animal-friendly – but it's got nice credit card sleeves and doubles as stand for watching art house French films whilst on those pesky long haul international business class commutes. At 9.89 USD on Amazon, it's a business deal worth closing.
For the collector
If you're on an NSA-style mission to collect the fingerprints of everyone you know then you can't go past this super slick looking fingerprint magnet made of aluminum. You can grab this on Deal Extreme for 4.54 USD and start amassing your database of all of your ''can I just borrow your phone for a sec?'' friends.
For the minimalist
If you want some added protection but don't want to cover up the beauty of your Nexus 5, then you need a crystal clear case from Ringke Fusion. This one will set you back just 7.99 USD from Amazon and it will keep your beauty intact without making it look like it's wrapped in bubble wrap.
For the shutterbug
There's something super cool about old cameras, which is probably why they have been seeing such a renaissance of late. If you want all the convenience of your digital camera embedded in your smartphone, but want to pass yourself off as a hipster vintage photographer when you Instagram your lunch, then this is the case for you. Get a retro Leica M6 look on this case for 14.99 USD.
For the power hungry
If your Nexus 5 is always losing juice, perhaps you need a little more gogo in your case mojo. That's where the i-Blason PowerGlider comes in, which will add an extra 2,500 mAh to your power source, as well as providing a rather nicely designed rubberized case for your precious. It's not the cheapest option, but for 64.95 USD you can double the runtime of your Nexus 5.
For the hipster
I miss my GameBoy, but perhaps not so much that I want to play it again. But the look of the thing that started it all...now that's another story. What this case lacks in smooth lines and slickness it makes up for in hipster cache. Lay this thing down on the table while you sip your latte and you've have a bevy of bearded musicians/poets/performance artists coming up to congratulate you on your retro styling. Available for 8.94 USD on Amazon.
For the lumberjack
If you need timber at all costs, then check out the awesome collection by Carved. There's a style to suit everyone, from jigsaw puzzles to etched timer designs to walnut, redwood and ash grains. Prices range from 26-36 USD but these are some of the coolest cases for the Nexus 5 I've seen.
What's your favorite case for the Nexus 5? How many cases do you have?

I own the google bumper case and I am rather disappointed with it. The nice mat coating tend to peel of with time and doesn't look very nice. Considering the price it costs I would expected to last longer than a couple of weeks. Would not buy again.

And what about the Ballistic case? It might be pricey but for me it's the one that offers best protection!

Does the aluminium one block signals?

I only had the LD t-shirt on and wetted it thoroughly. Then opened all my vents and left the jacket zipper flap open with it unzipped a bit on the bottom and the collar open on the top. Within a few miles, I started closing vents and zips because I was too cold!
What I've found with wetting the LD material is to only do it sparingly around the neck and where the vents are exposed. If you wet the entire garment, the water wicks downward and soaks the top of your pants and starts to feel a bit too damp all over. But being strategic where you wet the garment prevents some of that and still keeps you cool. I keep a small trigger spray bottle of water close at hand and just spray the exposed areas of the garment through vents and such and that works fine. When it dries out, only takes a minute to re-wet.

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
Craig Williams is back in Africa with a new mining venture – seven months after steering Zambia-focused copper producer Equinox Minerals to a $7.3 billion Canadian dollar takeover by Barrick Gold as CEO.
Williams, who built Equinox up from a patch of dirt in Zambia into one of the ASX's biggest pure-play miners, recently took up the role of chairman at Orecorp as it explores for copper, gold and uranium in Mauritania and Ethiopia.
The venture has $9 million Australian dollars in the bank for early-stage exploration work on its licenses after securing funding from Anglo Pacific Group and the Telluride Investment Trust.

Date Added:

Base Figure:
Ml kingpin
7.00 inches
Here comes the next challenger. . . . Chang koehan.
chang koehan is a playable character from snk's fighting video game series king of fighters.
chang once a dangerous unstoppable crimnal in korea, he and his partner choi's crime spree was cut short by kim kaphwan. Feeling that the two criminals could be changed into good citizens kim took the two by force and trained them in tae kwan do. During this time the two criminals tried to escape every chance they got to no avail as they caught by kaphwan and met with punishment. Chang and choi were offered a deal by kaphwan, they were to join the king of fighters tournament and if they ever won the complete tournament kaphwan would set them free. Chang has been in all tournaments since 1994 and his teams roster eventually included the alternates jhun hoon and may lee. His fighting style is brute strenth with iron ball and some tae kwan do. Chang's dream is to one day win the kof, win his freedom and return to his life of crime. To make his dream come true, he will crush anyone foolish enough to get in the way of his bald head like iron and huge chained iron ball.
chang koehan was customized from a ml kingpin, 1997 movie hulk arms & feet,other figure odds & ends, and sculpting.
customizer side note: here is my new king of fighters team for the month of feburary,
the korea team featuring kim kaphwan, chang koehan, and choi bounge. I thought to
customize this team because of the odd ball coupling of characters, the very large chunky chang and the very small thin choi. I tried to challenge myself to scale these two to january's outlaw team and with this team done, scaling the other teams shouldn't be so difficult. So see you soon with march's team.

Alprostadil Dosage
The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. ALWAYS consult your doctor or pharmacist.
Usual Adult Dose for:
Usual Pediatric Dose for:
Additional dosage information:
Usual Adult Dose for Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction of vasculogenic, psychogenic or mixed etiology:
Initial: 2.5 mcg injected intracavernously into the lateral penis. If there is a partial response, the dose may be increased, within one hour, by 2.5 mcg to a dose of 5 mcg, and then in increments of 5 to 10 mcg, depending on erectile response, until the dose that produces an erection suitable for intercourse and not exceeding a duration of 1 hour is reached. If there is no response to the initial dose of 2.5 mcg dose, the second dose may be increased to 7.5 mcg within one hour, followed by increments of 5 to 10 mcg. No more than 2 doses should be given within a 24-hour period during initial titration.
Erectile dysfunction of pure neurogenic etiology (spinal cord injury):
Initial: 1.25 mcg injected intracavernously into the lateral penis. If there is a partial response, the dose may be increased,within one hour, by 1.25 mcg to a dose of 2.5 mcg, followed by an increment of 2.5 mcg to a dose of 5 mcg, and then in 5 mcg increments until the dose that produces an erection suitable for intercourse and not exceeding a duration of 1 hour is reached. No more than 2 doses should be given within a 24-hour period during initial titration.
Maximum: doses of greater that 60 mcg are not recommended.
Transurethral suppository:
The dosage strengths of alprostadil suppositories include 125 mcg, 250 mcg, 500 mcg, and 1000 mcg per urethral suppository. The administration of these dose forms of alprostadil requires substantial assistance and patient education by qualified health care professionals. It is recommended that patients begin with either the 125 mcg or 250 mcg urethral suppositories and increase or decrease the dose based on clinical response. The lowest dose necessary to maintain an erection suitable for intercourse and achieve full detumescence within 1 hour is optimal.
Usual Pediatric Dose for Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Initial: alprostadil for injection to treat patent ductus arteriosus must be administered via continuous IV infusion. Begin infusion with 0.05 to 0.1 mcg/kg/min. If the response to this initial dose is inadequate, the dosage can be increased up to 0.4 mcg/kg/min, although in general, higher infusion rates do not produce greater effects.
Maintenance: after a therapeutic response is achieved, reduce the infusion rate to the lowest possible dosage that maintains the response. This may be accomplished by slowly reducing the dosage in a stepwise fashion from 0.1 to 0.05 to 0.025 to 0.01 mcg/kg/min.
Dose Adjustments
Each dose is individualized according to patient's needs. The lowest possible effective dose should be used in each patient.
Each patient's dosage must be individualized by careful titration with the assistance of and under the supervision of a heath care professional. During initial dosage titration, the patient must be injected then trained in proper self-injection techniques by the health care practitioner and must remain in the office until complete detumescence occurs.
Patients receiving alprostadil should be advised to contact their doctor immediately or seek emergency medical attention in the event of a prolonged erection (4 to 6 hours) or priapism (erection lasting longer than 6 hours).
Penile fibrosis, including Peyronie's disease, has been reported in patients receiving alprostadil treatment. Treatment should be discontinued immediately in patients who develop angulation, cavernosal fibrosis, or Peyronie's disease.
Underlying treatable medical causes of erectile dysfunction should be diagnosed and treated prior to initiation of therapy.
Hypotension and/or dizziness may occur due to increased peripheral blood levels of prostaglandin E1, particularly in those patients with significant corpora cavernosa venous leakage.
Use of alprostadil in combination with other vasoactive agents have not been systemically studied. Use of such combinations is not recommended.
Patients receiving warfarin and heparin may be have an increased risk for bleeding after the intracavernosal injection.
The patient should be instructed not to reuse or share needles or syringes.
Other Comments
Administer the intracavernosum injection no more than 3 times per week. Allow at least 24 hours between each dose. For administration of the injectable preparation, the manufacturer recommends a one-half inch, 27 to 30-gauge needle.
The intracavernosum injection must be prepared under sterile conditions. The usual site of injection is along the dorso-lateral aspect of the proximal third of the penis. Avoid any visible veins. The side of the penis that is injected and the site of injection must be alternated.
Patients should be advised that there are different forms and concentrations of injectable alprostadil on the market, a dual-chamber syringe system and the lyophilized powder for reconstitution to be used for treating erectile dysfunction, and the other already in solution for injection which is intended for use to maintain patency of the ductus arteriosus in neonates awaiting surgical repair of this cardiovascular defect. The amounts of alprostadil available in unit packages of these different types of injectable drug vary greatly and inadvertent substitution of one for the other could result in serious damage.

Hi, my name is Temilola. I'm a 4th year student at the U of M, majoring in Chemical Engineering. I come from Esa-Odo Nigeria but spent the better part of my life living between Maiduguri in the north, Port-Harcourt in the South and Paris, France for 2 years.
A fun story from my country, this was actually on the news... A vigilante group in Ilorin, central Nigeria chased a car thief. Allegedly, on cornering the thief, he turned into a goat. The goat was apprehended, taken to the local police station and locked up. I still remember when the story was aired on NTA, our local news channel. You can find a short form of the story at the BBC website.
One of the reasons I chose to be an ambassador was to be able to share quirky stories like this and tell people about Nigeria. More importantly, I remember my first days on campus, feeling a bit out of my element and not knowing much about the University as a whole. What I needed was a group like the International Student Ambassador to take the edge off stepping into the unknown. I am an ambassador because I get to help students who might be in the same position as I was back then.
So here's to an exciting start to your college years. Welcome to the U of M Twin Cities!!!

:: the poulette is studying charles martel (aka charles the hammer) and how he stopped the islamic advance into western europe so for days i've heard her use the word hammer whenever possible especially whenever it comes to getting something done. it's actually pretty funny to hear this little whisp of a girl threatening to hammer something.

how was your week?
