Teresa Nielsen Hayden, born 21 March 1956, in Chamberlain, South Dakota.
Happy fiftieth birthday, my love, my collaborator, my co-conspirator in all things. May your flag fly for decades to come.
Woe! I'm fifty! I'll never get into trouble again!
(Thank you, love. You da one.)
Many happy returns from far-off Western Australia! :)
Happy birthday! And who says you can't get into trouble after 50?
Happy birthday....
I think you'll just get into better trouble....
Many happy returns, Teresa! And welcome to that second half-century from someone who got here fifteen months ago. Geez, where did all that time go?
Happy happy happy birthday! May you achieve an ever more satisfying grade of trouble, with excellent fringe benefits. (And the photograph there is excellent. So is your photo of architectural detail on Patrick's Flikr page. Nice!)
*ices confetti* *throws cake*
Many Happy Returns of the Day!
Happy Birthday, Teresa! ...and may you generate gloriously fun trouble in the years ahead!
Yes, happy birthday. And thank you for looking after us.
Hippo birdie two ewes...
or is that...
oh, never mind...
happy birthday, anyway
Happy birthday, and since I got this email recently and it seems relevant I'll pass it on
"Salutations on this glorious day, from Mr. Pumblethrait Thoop (late son of the Emperor of Thoop)
As you no doubt are aware thereof, our tiny island nation of Thoop is the primare resource of triple tier birthday cakes, now due to evolution of the government I sit in possession of the 10,000 cakes of various flavors and munificense. Without recourse to sales because of import restriction.
I am making to you on this auspicious occasion a devious proposition, okay? Now, I am making it: You being in possession of birthday request transfer of birthday cakes posthaste and share out slices 50/50. This is best deal ever!
Signed,
Pumblethrait Thoop."
I don't no though, it seems suspicious.
Happy birthday from your one-time stomping grounds of Seattle!
hey, you share a birthday with Jen http://stevegilliard.blogspot.com/2006/03/happy-birthday-jen.html
Happy birthday! I hope the birthday loot is sparkly and piled high.
Gosh! Happy birthday from me too. You young whippersnappers. Harrumph!
Dave [53 next month]
Many Happy Returns from North Essex!
Happy birthday, Teresa. I'm 9 years and 10 days older than you. I hope your life goes on getting better, as mine has.
Happy Birthday!
I missed sharing your birthday by one day (my 30th was yesterday). Still, March is a great month to be born. :)
*sending thanks to TNH's parents, wherever they may be*
And I wish you a hatful of fiendish delight!
Many cheers for the birthday that is yours today.
Gee--I could have babysat you. Changed your diapers.
Hell, I could have GiVEN BIRTH to you. (Except not in South Dakota.)
Happy birthday, T.
Jane
Thank you. Thank you all. Especially the ones who are older than I am.
Many happy returns to a very gracious woman.
Well, gracious to anybody who doesn't absolutely deserve to have their ass kicked, I mean. :)
Happy birthday!! And many, many more.
Yes, happy fifteenth birthday! (let the fifteenth stet!)
;)
-=Jeff=-
Happy birthday from *checks* grey-and-sunny London!
A little birthday dirge
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
May the candles on your cake
Burn like cities in your wake.
On your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Burn the castle and storm the keep
Kill the women, but save the sheep
For your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
While you eat your birthday stew
We will loot the town for you,
On your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
As someone who has just turned 49 himself, all I can say is...
Wow.
Fifty is really old.
Anyway, welcome to the second half of your first century!
By a (not all that) curious coincidence, my #1 son turns 15 today. Since I'm already in a celebratory mood, let me add my felicitations. (Even though I don't get to be older than you for almost three years...)
Happy Birthday from Heidelberg, Teresa! I turned 50 just before I moved here in 2004 - and I keep forgetting to add the time since then, so I'm always surprised when I realize that I'll be 52 in just 72 more days.
Happy happy birthday! It's a marvelous day!
Wow! Happy Birthday! May all your birthday wishes come true...
Please accept my wishes for a green and pleasant De-Wombing Anniversary, from the rather chilly north. Dang, it's cold out there.
Happy birthday.
50 sucks. (Turned 50 October 29th, and I've been having a traditional mid-life crisis ever since.)
Well, someone had to be the curmudgeon here...
Oh, almost forgot.
It's my wedding anniversary too.
I'd best buy something...
About this "trouble" business...
Before age fifty, you have to work to stay out of trouble.
After age fifty, you have to work to get into trouble.
(Despite my best efforts, I seem to be doomed to a future of staid respectability. Dammit.)
Oh, and an early congrats on the upcoming 27th.
hippo birdies two ewes again.
Dammit, you're younger than I. By five days. Hope your birthday celebrations are as good as mine were!
Hugs across the eways!
Well, let me add to the pile-on:
Happy Birthday!
And, as always, thank you for your hospitality.
(P.S.: '50' is a good one: it lets one move into the 'Wise Elder' role.)
Happy birthday! Here is a virtual pot of hunny and a beautiful blue balloon.
Heppy birthday!
I found nice site to see peoples from all world.
Faces of countries with poeople's portreaits ;)
It's realy cool ;)
www.areaface.com
There are lots of inventive comments, but I think I'm going to stick with a classic - happy birthday. :)
(And as someone else said, that's a good photo - you look suitably mischievous!)
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I'm so glad I came by today. I've been out and about, working my ... Anyway, I'm glad I came by today.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Will you come to my birthday party next year, when I turn 50?
Happy Birthday!
Love the photo too, by the way.
You look like your devious plans
are working out as expected.
Makes me think of a certain,
unforgetable, game of Thing.
;)
Anyway, many more to come...
HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY, Teresa!
Hipy papy bthdth bthdtha bthddday.
OWTTE.
A most happy birthday to you, and best wishes for a wonderful, joyous, deeply interesting, and light-filled year ahead!
And don't let the soon-to-be Dr. Jane give you a hard time 'bout the age thing (-:
Many, many happy returns of the day.
Happy Birthday from a mostly-lurker and infrequent poster. So now that you'll never get in trouble again, does that mean that Patrick will have to pick up the slack and get into twice as much?
Happy birthday!
I hope you continue to have fun.
And another chorus of "Hippo Birdie two ewes"
[I'm so glad somebody quoted the Birthday Dirge command to "save the sheep" since, now that you have all these nice new ewes, you can simply preserve them (possibly in a big jar, steeped in high-proof spirits with the merest soupçon of jalapeño) until you need their fibery goodness for more of that luminous knitting stuff :-)]
Hppy Brthdy to everyone's favorite disemvoweler! Yay!
No matter how old you get, I'll always be older. :)
Many happy returns!
I see Sisuile got things started (should be sung to the tune of "The Volga Boatmen," for the unfamiliar)...
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Now you've aged another year,
Now you know that Death is near,
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
Death, destruction, and despair,
People dying everywhere,
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
I'm a leper, can't you see,
Have a Birthday kiss from me,
It's your Birthday! Happy Birthday!
(To add to the Dirge, pick your favorites...or write a new one!)
Happy Birthday! Looking forward to the next fifty!
Happy birthday! And many, many reruns! No wait, no reruns at all--returns! Yes. To many more interesting years (and I don't mean this as a Chinese curse ;))
Hey, many happy returns of the day! (Although I really wrote to note that my birthday is March 23, 1957, so hey, we're practically twins.)
Many happy returns from Florida!
Hippo birdie two sheep!
And March is indeed a very good month to be born.
--Mary Aileen
Birthday joy, along with cake and ice-cream of your choice!
Happy birthday!
Remember, age is only a number...
Happy birthday!
I see someone else has provided the obligatory birthday song, so I'll just be over here singing along.
Many happy returns of the day! And here I thought you were the physical incarnation of trouble.
(chibent - my birthday was yesterday also, happy late birthday to a fellow first day of Springer.)
Teresa, my favorite boss and occasional partner in crime, you will never be so old that you cannot be the epicenter of fireworks and creation. It's in your DNA. I've been looking for a coffee cup like the one my mother used to own, that says "If you're looking for trouble, I can offer you a wide variety."
Happy Birthday, young'un. Wish I was there to say so in person.
Indeed many congratulations and much felicity on your equinotical anniversary.
It's rather early on the 22nd here, but, like the saying (more or less) goes "somewhere in the world, the sun is over the yardarm", so I toast your semi-centenary across the hemiblogosphere.
Woe! I'm fifty! I'll never get into trouble again!
I should add that Danny, who will be fifty in October, read this and said, "Uh huh. Fat chance." He sends birthday greetings in his toonish way.
Hppy Brthdy
(Srry, smn hd t d t)
From a regular lurker - long may your reign continue.
Many happy returns! (Oh, wait. Is that a bad thing to wish upon somebody who works at a publishing house? Sorry. Happy birthday!)
I hope you have lots and lots more happy birthdays.
Congrats on the half-century! Though I sometimes agree with the Stones' line "what a drag it is to get old," all fretting aside, over-50 is turning out to be a good, creative time for me -- and I know it will be so for you!
My (slightly younger) husband turns 53 in another five days, so March does seem like a particularly fine month to be born.
Happy Birthday, and many happy returns!
I think that turning 50 automatically means that "Teresa" is to "Trouble" as "W" is to "Illegal"; As Teresa is a respectable 50-year-old, you must be confused and mistaken about the nature of the "trouble" or "mischief" she has caused and/or participated in. Going out in her barefeet to light fireworks or other assorted incendiary devices (for example) has been elevated by Teresa's participation in it. Who says this is "trouble"? Why do you hate America?
Happy Birthday, Teresa!
Happy birthday, and I hope it doesn't snow on your day!
"Woe! I'm fifty! I'll never get into trouble again!"
Yeah, right....and you have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell too...
Happy Birthday, kiddo!
Hippo birdies, with as many ewes as you'd like!
"Well it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year; we'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer!"
Many happy returns!
Well, since you specifically recognized the older contingent, I can't but join in: Happy birthday.
Raising a coffee cup to you: Many happy returns.
You can get into much better trouble now, because you can sneak up on it and no one will suspect -- Oh. I'll just keep quiet about that, shall I?
Happy birthday!
Feliz Aniversário do Brasil!
an equinox baby! yay! much happiness of many kinds with it!
well since we're singing, Danish birthday song:
I dag er Teresa's fødselsdag!
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Hun sikkert sig en gave får
som hun har ønsket sig i år
og dejlig chokolade med kage til.
Hvor smiler hun, hvor er hun glad
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Men denne dag er også rar,
for hjemme venter mor og far
med dejlig chokolade med kage til.
Og når hun hjem fra skolen går,
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Så skal hun hjem og holde fest,
og hvem der kommer med som gæst,
får dejlig chokolade med kage til.
Til slut vi råber højt i kor.
Hurra! Hurra! Hurra!
Gid Teresa længe leve må
og sine ønsker opfyldt få -
og dejlig chokolade med kage til.
Hey, turning fifty doesn't remove your ability to get into trouble, it merely confirms you as an expert.
Happy, happy birthday!
P.
And I'll be there in October...Muchas Felicidades. Or as my dad likes to say apio verde to you...
Happy half-century! May you have many more ;)
Happy birthday!
(My, what an auspicious day to be born on! :)
Bon anniversaire,
Mes voeux les plus sinceres!
Just remember, when you get up to give your speech, be careful about that ring in your pocket ...
Happy birthday!
No! You can't stop getting into trouble! You have all these years of wonderful practice!
Have a fantastic birthday and many, many more years of exactly as much trouble as you want to get into.
HBD from a newcomer to the Making Light community. It's an impressive creation.
Most happy birthday wishes to you, for this day and many more to come.
Happy birthday, here's to fifty orbits around the Sun!
Oh dear. The beleaguered husband just turned fifty. How exactly does this no trouble thing work?
Happy birthday.
Cheers and happy birthday, Teresa!
Happy birthday, [lj user="tnh"]!
Happy birthday, and thanks for all the Particles!
Felicitations on another Solar Return. When the Sun reaches the same point in the Zodiac where it was when the person was born, this is called their SunReturn, or, more colloquially, 'birthday'. For some it is a trying, even traumatic time. For others it is a joyous transition into a new phase of life. May the latter be your case! And may the Sun transit your natal Sun many, many more times!
Well, gracious to anybody who doesn't absolutely deserve to have their ass kicked, I mean.
Oh, she's gracious to them too. More gracious than they deserve! We have yet to see Teresa be ungracious...and I shudder to think.
Happy birthday, Teresa! Hope it's a good one, and may there be many more to come.
-kat
Happy birthday, T! I'm sure you could still get into trouble if you tried.
Happy birthday, and many happy returns!
Felicitations on this your natal day. We have confidence that, as in the past, you will laisse le bon temps roule for the foreseeable future. This is acceptable to Us. Carry on.
*nod*
Many happies, from another of the older-than-thou brigade. Let there be parties!
Happy birthday, Teresa!
It’s not everybody who gets to share a natal day -- as well as many personality traits, obviously -- with Johann S. Bach, Charlotte Bronte, Modest Mussorgsky, Florenz Ziegfeld, Harold Robbins, Son House, Gary Oldman, and Rosie O’Donnell.
And while we’re believing everything the net tells us, let’s not forget that on your day in history, the Hatfield-McCoy feud ended with a kiss, C. M. Kornbluth died, Alcatraz freed its last jailbirds, C.S. Lewis found Joy, Dr. King marched from Selma, the Supremes declared “Fanny Hill” unobscene, JR got shot, and TIME magazine recalled all copies of that publication’s only known cover typo: “contol” for “control.”
A birthday present for Teresa!
Cold War bunker found in Brooklyn Bridge
NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York workers have discovered a trove of Cold War-era supplies within the masonry of the Brooklyn Bridge, a cache meant to aid in survival efforts in the event of nuclear attack.
City Department of Transportation employees were conducting maintenance on the structure Wednesday when they found the cache on the top floor of a three-floor space inside the bridge's base, agency spokeswoman Kay Salin said.
It looks like they found this last week, actually - today is still Tuesday, yes?
You say it's your birthday? It's my birthday too!
Happy birthday, Teresa. I'm delighted to share my natal day with such a luminary.
March on! March on! And lift up a glass,
Ye geeks who know your gentry:
The queen of skiffy editrices
Has reached her first half-cent'ry.
Come set the teetering slushpiles alight
And toss the smoking pages!
And pray the judgment weighing their end
Will long be TNH's.
Fear not the wingnut's idiot rants,
Nor trolls' incessant howling -
For these, and all deficient in grace,
A swift sure disemvowelling.
Let all deceivers cower in fear,
Their hearts filled with foreboding,
As shout we waes thu Teresa hael
To the sound of things exploding.
March on! (And if these verses offend,
As dull and thick as cordwood,
Forgive; they were set hastily down
For fear that first Mike Ford would.)
Happy Birthday...and may you have many more.
Cool! Another March baby! :D Happy birthday!
Mine's on the 27th.
Happy birthday! It's my birthday today, too, and, oddly enough, I'm of the opinion that anyone born on March 21 must be exceptionally wise and beautiful.
May your birthday be filled with light, love, and sodomizing dinosaurs!
I'm not yet prepared to describe what got handed to me when I arrived at the office this morning. I'll only say this: my friends have my number.
Happy Birthday! It's about time you got here!
You're card's in the mail, and since I've known you All Your Life let me say here and now that there's no way on the face of _od's green earth you'll stay out of trouble, you baby-bottle thief, you!
BYW, thanks for 50 years of entertainment. I couldn't have asked for a better sister!
Turned 50 myself in January, so far so good.
Happy birthday!!
De-lurking...
Happ Birthday Teresa!!
Ah, yes, I remember it well. Happy two score and ten, love of my life. Spell bizarre.
I'm not yet prepared to describe what got handed to me when I arrived at the office this morning. I'll only say this: my friends have my number.
Ah, it worked!
*dancing about gleefully and throwing multicolored confetti that explodes harmlessly and turns into tiny, bizarre, lighter-than-air citrus fruits*
Huzzah!
That's two milestones already this year. Much as we missed formally celebrating the first milestone, Boskone marked the 20th anniversary of our meeting. Yes, really. No, I don't know how it can be 20 years already, either. Any more than I know how you can possibly be 50, or I even older. But, my, life's held so many fine adventures getting here, surely there are many more ahead.
See you on the Funway, always and evermore.
I admit to curiousity about What Lurked In The Office Today.
But I can live without knowing.
(And happy birthday!)
Awww, that was so sweet I'm getting all teary and sentimental.
Happy happy happy birthday! (and many more...)
Not *everybody* gets to have their birthday on the same day Thomas Cranmer was burned at the stake in 1556.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
I don't have the exact reference, but somebody (I think it was an SF editor), on reaching his 50th birthday, said (inexact quote follows), "It's sobering to realize that nearly a quarter of my life may now be over."
Happy birthday, Teresa. Please reconsider the 'no more trouble' thing; too many people who frequent this place are counting on you. ;)
I knew about Phoenix, Seattle, and Toronto(?) preceding NYC, but ... South Dakota?
In your next fifty, may you move as much as you will. Happy Birthday.
And a nearly-belated happy birthday from somewhat-rainy Phoenix.
Congrats! I turned 40 on my last one so you have a decade on me.
My first time responding on your site but I've been an admirer for quite some time. Having one of your two names on a book has always been a bonus for me in deciding if I wanted to read it.
White collar conservative flashin’ down the street
Pointin’ their plastic finger at me, ha !
They’re hopin’ soon my kind will drop and die but uh
I’m gonna wave my freak flag high, high !
Happy Birthday, Teresa. And a wish for many more happy ones.
Yours, hoping to see more eclectic essays and whimsy from you, as well as the exposes that rattle the cages of the clueless.
Mazel tov, shana punim! (Wait, are goyim allowed to say that?)
Happy Birthday! Since I'm a year and 11 days older than you are, I can tell you that 51 is fine!
Happy birthday!
From my own experience, 50 is much easier to take than 40, and fewer people think you need black balloons taped all over your office.
Not that I would ever admit to actually doing it myself . . .
This thread is only 2 comments away from the number of bloglines subscribers Making light has.
Happy birthday.
Sorry I'm late; the day turned rather busy. Circumstances beyond, oo-er, oo-er yeah, ting tang yadda yadda bing bang.
Today we mark a demi-century
Nativity, on just the cusp of spring,
It’s time to rhyme on she who’s known as t,
Editor, hostess, friend -- that sort of thing
Light in the making, light on which to dine,
Slogging through slush for diamonds in the smoke
Exploring how the mind-yarns intertwine,
Never too proud to topple at a joke;
Holding on to the stuff that does endure,
And living on the faith that hope increases,
Yearning for better nations to mature
Dissenting in the way of editrices.
Enough already. She’s not finished yet;
No change in our affection. Mark it stet.
Oh, when you can describe it, please do. I'm dying to know what all the other bits are (since I know my own).
Many happy returns of the day, Teresa, and for many, many years to come.
I take it that the number was not 50...though you must enjoy having the Countdown Birthdate for your very own. Did no one get you a rocketship?
Since "Hipy Papy..." has been taken, I'll just say
Happy Happy, Joy Joy!
and mention that I'm finally employed. Yay!
In the thirty-some years you've been in my ken, you seem to have gotten into trouble less often, and less seriously, than most people. Your specialty is in causing trouble for others -- mostly by making people think, and by giving them wild ideas. This is Good (or so I Pronounce from the age of 77) and I hope you continue it for another fifty years, or as long as you enjoy doing it.
Happy Birthday from an almost everyday visitor! So many fond wishes speak of how you've spent your first fifty, and how truly wealthy it's made you. Congratulations on all points.
Happy Birthday! I hope it was wonderful!
A fashionably late happy birthday!
Definitely Happy Birthday.
Yor life is far from over;
next year, you'll still be one short of a full deck, though.
But three years hence you'll have that joker, too.
Wow, happy birthday! Hope the next year will be happy and productive. :)
It's still 21 March here, so happy birthday from a place that's practically made of Particles!
Happy 25th Anniversary of your 25th Birthday!
And may you be around to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of your 50th Birthday, and still making, er, Not-Trouble (or whatever it is you make that makes this site such a wonderful, homey, thought-provoking, laughter-inducing, must-visit-daily site.)
It's still your birthday in AZ too, so Happy Birthday. A friend of mine, exactly 20 years behind you, celebrated turning 30 by finishing her first novel last night. My husband, turning 55 in a few hours, has no such accomplishments planned.
Whether your day was as ambitious as Sara's or as laid-back as John's will be, I hope it as a good one!
Karen
Hi, ho, the big 5-0! Welcome to the over-the-hill gang! (Me, I'm a mere thirty something - will be thirty-twentythree in a couple months (Yes! I share my birth year with the illustrious Dave Langford! (Trapped again in a layrinth of little twisty parentheses....(and the dread waste of ellipses..........))))
Labyrinth. Evidently my fingers work faster than my brain at this time of night.
Happy birthday! For fifty years now the world has been the richer for having you in it.
As it happens, you have the same birthday that my sister used to.
Happy Birthday, and thank you for all you are, and do, and for hosting this salon-of-comments.
Here's to the start of another free trip around the Sun!
And showing up dilatorily....
I hope that lots of good things happened for TNH on her 50th, and are going to -continue- to happen!
Ooh! Mazal tov from another loyal lurker. :)
I hope it was a happy birthday, and that fifty has fewer (far fewer) unpleasant shocks than the forty-nine did.
Happy birthday, and congratulations.
And may we all have such birthday friends as Mike Ford.
I hope you have a ridiculously happy 50th year!
Happy Birthday! I'm trailing you only by a few months...
Never met, but I was living in Toronto at the same time you and Patrick were there
( me: 1977-79 ), attending OCA and living in one of the Campus Co-op houses;
I wonder if we ever crossed paths.
Belated birthday wishes! May you have decades more of things to explore, cook, and blow up!
The rest of us do our best.
Mike Ford writes an acrostic sonnet.
I hope you realize that, though he writes for you, he speaks for us.
Belated happy birthday wishes.
Belated wishes for a most excellent year. We will celebrate you throughout.
Chiming in belatedly to wish you a happy birthday and many returns of the day.
Late. alas, but I wish you all joy of the years to come.
Belated best wishes for an important milestone. Your work both here and with your authors has brought me great joy. I hope some is reflected back to you.
Happy belated birthday!
Deborah
Happy birthday, Teresa, from a longtime lurker, very rare poster. Wishing you another 50 as good as your first!
Wasn't near a computer yesterday, so...happy belated birthday. And many more to come...
Late as usual, I raise a glass (of cranberry juice, alas) to wish you at least another fifty. And I hope you got a crateload of difficult-to-obtain pharmaceuticals for your birthday. ;)
a belated birthday happiness wish to you. sigh.
And a happy thing happened with your religion on your birthday: The Arlington Diocese has approved female altar servers!
Hippy happy hurrah! Another lap around the sun! Halfway through the Century! Hip-hip-hooray!
Happy Birthday Wishes
Miss Teresa N-H
Here's some more verse, we hope
it makes you smile
We know it's late, which is
anathema to thee;
can't find a gift that beats
a Ford freestyle.
Happy Happy Happy Belated Birthday, Teresa!!! :-)
Alas! Regrets;
To post so late
So cold and stale.
But be assured
My wish for you
Is fresh and warm
Like morning loaves:
A Happy Birthday.
(Blame the doctors.)
I've de-lurked to wish you a happy birthday :)
A birthday anagram:
YEN. SENSE. LEARN. EDIT. AH!
My, my, a birthdate sister! Hope the entire year is grand. I was born the very same date in Dallas, Texas.
As a wise owl said, HIPY PAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA
BTHUTHDY..
Theresa, you'll always be on my Must Read list.
Might one now be told
As your eloquence returns
What struck you dumb? Please?
Leading us astray, or trying to.
Internet Bingo, fah!
It's just not Bingo without the clouds of tobacco smoke and half-crazed old ladies surrounded by good luck charms.
In case my previous post was baffling, "YEN. SENSE. LEARN. EDIT. AH!" is an anagram of "TERESA NIELSEN HAYDEN".
Well, I for one got it at a glance.
