Do you want to treat the 10 year old girl in your life to a gift she'll love? With so many options out there, it can be a real challenge to sift through them all to find a toy or gift that is both entertaining and educational. To help you on your quest, we've rounded up the top 10 toys that are designed to engage and delight your 10 year old while helping your child meet their developmental milestones, which are outlined below. If you're in a hurry, you can skip the milestones overview and get right to our list of the best toys for 10 year old girls here!
10 Year Old Developmental Milestones
This exciting year is all about cognitive gains, physical change, and increasing independence.
Socially and emotionally, your 10 year old daughter's friendships will become more and more meaningful. Most children will thrive if given the opportunity to develop these relationships on their own. Even though she'll be branching out, she still needs your support and encouragement. During this time, it's a good idea to help your daughter learn how to deal with negative emotions, like frustration and anxiety, so she'll be better equipped for whatever life throws at her, especially in her new and ever-changing social settings.
Cognitively, you daughter will be reaching new heights. Classroom learning picks up this year as these young students prepare for middle school. This means fractions, geometry, and even early algebra will likely be on this year's syllabus. Make sure you communicate with her often about her studies even though your child will likely require less homework supervision as she becomes more self-reliant and responsible.
Physically, many 10 year old girls will start to see signs of early puberty or go through growth spurts (growing 2.5" this year is typical). Along with these changes, you'll notice increased stamina and better coordination, which will lead to improvements in sport performance and fine motor activities. However, all of this growing does take a toll as an increased appetite and need for more sleep is common.
With all of these developmental milestones in mind, we've curated the following list of recommended toys and gifts.
10 Best Toys & Gifts for 10 Year Old Girls
1. Harry Potter Paperback Box Set
If you've already read Harry Potter, then it should be quite obvious that this Harry Potter 7-book set is an ideal gift for any 10 year old girl. She is finally developing the vocabulary and reading abilities to fully enjoy this enthralling and uplifting tale.
If you've never read Harry Potter, on the other hand, then you may be surprised to know that Harry Potter is one of the most widely read books of ALL TIME with over 400 million copies sold. And this Harry Potter 7-book set is an absolute treasure for any 10 year old girl to receive. Don't be surprised if it inspires her to fall in love with reading. Once children get going on Harry Potter, they have a hard time stopping until the last page is turned.
Developmentally, this set will help your 10 year old girl improve her vocabulary and reading speed, while also absorbing a message of love, friendship, and bravery. Warning – she may turn into a Harry Potter fangirl, but that's not really so bad. She'll be able to connect with the vast chunk of our society that also loves Harry Potter.

Note: Make sure to have three AAA batteries on hand when she opens her gift, as they are not included.

3. Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera
The act of photography helps the photographer slow down and notice the small details that make up the world around them. Through this careful study, either while taking pictures or reviewing them after the fact, one can begin to better understand their subject. While photography as an art form can take years to master, we like the Fujifilm Instax Mini as a beginner's camera. It has automatic settings, is compact enough for small hands, and has an instant print option. Learning a new skill like photography is a great way to help boost your 10 year old's self-esteem as they develop a lifelong hobby.

The small robot (about the size of a squash ball) reads the lines your 10 year old draws with specific coding markers and changes its movements based on the code lines.

I was a little young for the first wave of the women's lib crowd. I benefited from it, trust me, but I never burned a bra, went to a protest, nor became hostile to men. I never wanted to be a feminist. I just wanted to do what I wanted to do and have a career that I wanted. I ended up in a male oriented world.
Always into politics, I morphed into a lobbyist working with the space program and the non-profits. It was the era of William Proxmire. Ronald Reagan was excited about space exploration, but the Democrats were doing everything possible to kill it. Only a few Republicans, and maybe one or two Democrats, including both senators from South Carolina, were interested or even remotely cared about space or NASA. In Congress, the least important Congressman of them all, with a moldy basement office, co-founded the Congressional Space Caucus. His tiny office became ground zero in the battle to save NASA.
A group called the National Coordinating Committee for Space was founded. I was the only woman, getting to hang with some of the luminaries of science fiction, space science, NASA, and men who walked on the moon. One year, not long before Sally's ride, there was a major space conference in Houston. There were no women on the program, no women speakers. The twenty or so women, myself included, who were in attendance, were furious as we set around the hotel lobby, complaining. Our favorite Congressman, the keynote speaker, and co-founder of the Congressional Space Caucus told us to stop complaining and realize, as women, we were in a unique position to start making changes – that very day.
We founded the Women's Space Network. One of the women who was part of the group was a young physician named Mae Johnson. All she had ever wanted to do was be an astronaut. She became the first African American woman in space. Our patron saint would go on to become the Speaker of the US House – Newt Gingrich.
It wasn't about hating men, hating Reagan, or talking about our private parts and things best left to a feminine product commercial. We wanted to be part of the space program – somehow. When one of the security guards at Johnson asked why a 'purtty little thing' like me wanted to hang out with those annoying reporters, well, I went into orbit. All we wanted was to be able to have the life we wanted. It wasn't about taking jobs from men. It was about fulfilling our dreams.
Never, did we consider ourselves feminists. Fact is, the original version of feminist just didn't do well hanging out at the press site at KSC. Women with the PIO made fun of them, the way they were acting. So did I. They were breathing the very essence of a woman in space. We were hanging out with the guys, interviewing people, and just doing what we always did.
Strangely enough, the world changed. Women like moi are now the real feminists, believe it or not. We aren't about body parts, abortion on demand, forcing women in Islam to commit to servitude, but opportunity. We are about doing what we've always done, no hate involved.
I suspect for the most part, we feel much more at home with the guys. I know I do. I chose to live in a man's world. I did not want children. I did not want to do 'girly' stuff. I just wanted to do what I wanted to do. I still live in a man's world. Very few Wild West historians are women. Those who are, pardon moi for mentioning it, but they are pathetic. Yes, the role of women in the Wild West has not been thoroughly researched. It still isn't. Today's feminist just doesn't understand that world. Okay, let's be honest. A liberal doesn't understand the world of the Wild West. They are incapable of thinking outside the box.
Thursday evening I had a fascinating Twitter discussion with an 'expert' on crime. Border crime does not exist. I'm a fool who refuses to look at FBI statistics. When I provided him with documented evidence from Cochise County, I was told the county sheriff was lying. Typical liberal…
The liberal women who today consider themselves feminists have no idea what the world is about. Because, as one famous actress mentioned, her moral compass was in her _____, well, let's just be honest – a liberal woman like that has no moral compass. Evidently morality is something a feminist just doesn't need.
Maybe they need to grow up?
I enjoy being female. I like pink, frills, jewelry, and girly stuff. I also like rockets, science fiction, and baseball. I consider myself a lady, and try to behave as such, the vast majority of the time. I have manners and know how to use them. Maybe that's the difference between those of us who are true feminists and the fake, liberal twits.

Junior Reporter
Hye-joon Suh
Hi, my name is Hye-joon Suh and it has almost been six months since I came into The UOS Times. Starting as a cub reporter, I went through many new experiences; there were tough points, and also amazing ones. One of the exciting points that I want to tell you is… "I became a junior reporter!" I'm looking forward to have more new chances from working as the junior reporter. I also hope that there will be more contact with you, UOS students! Have a nice day !
I n-young Joung
Then I remembered the first lesson The UOS Times had taught me: "Learn what dwells in writing." And I understood that in writing dwells Love! I was glad that The UOS Times had already begun to show me what it had promised, and I smiled for the promotion.
Moon-joo Lee
When I decided to be the member of The UOS Times, I made my decision without much thinking. However, as I become a junior reporter, I feel much more responsibility than before. I should, and will improve my writing skill as I want to maintain my happy life in The UOS Times. It's such a pleasure to be a junior reporter!
Shin-ho Ahn
I Knew If I Stayed Around Long Enough Something Like This Would Happen!
Young-eun Choi
It has been only two months working as a cub reporter, and it is quite awkward being a junior reporter to me. It is scared to have this position in such shorter time than other cub reporters, but also excited to get promoted. Rather than bragging and being proud of myself, however, I will study much harder to meet the demands of The UOS Times and my position, junior reporter.

I found a new smoothie recipe - it is much like the one I share here. Be sure to watch both videos. We tried the recipe out over the weekend and I really enjoyed it - Kirk didn't like the greens powder, he thought it tasted like grass. Go figure.
Here are some of the changes that I made to the recipe:
- I use the Advocare protein powder - but I think that Trader Joes has the best priced Whey Protein powder.
- I also didn't use SunWarrior greens powder - I found one at Whole Foods called Amazing Grass Green SuperFood. Definitely buy this one direct from them. I bought the 30 serving size [from Whole Foods] for the same price they are selling the 100 serving canister. In the past I have also used Greens First - but I was looking for a good inexpensive alternative.
- I didn't put in the oil since I usually use Flax seed oil and I was already putting in actual flax seed. I am anxious to check out the hemp oil and give that a try.
- My favorite part is using almond milk [unsweetened] - love that stuff!

Moving to another server is sometimes unavoidable. There are situations that the best thing to do for your website is to transfer to another server. This may be a product of your expanding business or you simply feel the need to do so.
No matter what the reason is that you need to move to another server, it is important to understand that website migration is not the easiest thing to do. It can generate quite a stress for website owners and administrators, in addition to the multiple risks that you will encounter when transferring your site.
However, if you are decided on doing so, then it is important for you to learn these four useful tips to remember when moving to another server.
The first thing that you need to do when you are going to transfer to another server is to download your backup files from your old server. If you are using cPanel on your old server and the one that you are transferring to also uses the same then this task will be easier and faster to do.
The cPanel backup process is hassle free and convenient to perform. You can create backup files and restore them to your new server with just a few clicks of your mouse button.
Once you have finished downloading your cPanel backup files from your old server, your new server should send you an email message after paying the initial hosting fee for your first month's usage. This email should contain the necessary information that you need to transfer your site, including the domain name servers and IP address details. It should also include the link to access your new cPanel account for that server.
After you have received the necessary links, log in to your new cPanel account and navigate to the backup tools for that cPanel software. Upload your cPanel backup files from your old server and follow the instructions provided by the cPanel tool.
After you are finished uploading your cPanel backup files to your new server, you should check if your databases work.
Keep in mind that the backup file for the databases does not include information on passwords for usernames and their permissions. You will have to encode this information into the MySQL database interface on your cPanel software.
Before canceling your old hosting account, make sure that everything is running smoothly on your new server. Check and recheck every component and cancel your old account only when you are fully satisfied.

What Not to Hate About E3
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Yahtzee actually didn't get pissed off by the whole of E3.
They are actually making two XCOM games. 2K Marin makes the stupid shooter, Firaxis makes the turn based strategy game.
I agree, X-com (the turn based one) looks pretty cool and as someone who is new to the series I'm willing to give it a try.
You are positive that you can get pissed off at the Wii-U...that's our Yahtzee.
And...wait wait wait? Halo 4 gave you positive feelings? HALO!? You're having positive feelings about a series I actually like....WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH YAHTZEE!?
Mr. Yahtzee, if you are "really getting into" the hardcore mode of Minecraft, you may like to try out the DayZ mod for ArmA II...if you're not sick of zombies.
It pisses me off whenever someone cites Heavy Rain as an example of good writing in video games, because, as you said, David Cage really can't write for shit. Still, at least he's pushing new ideas in this stagnant industry, and I may check out Beyond: Two Souls if it's actually a game this time around, rather than a glorified choose-your-own-adventure with button-prompts.
Heh. I also hate demos. In fact, this is why I am saddened by the fall of all the video game rental places. People argue that you don't need to rent a game anymore because there is a demo, but the demo is a best foot forward scenario. The goal of the playable demo is to suck you into a game. It is just more insidious advertising.
Hell, even most games have their best levels early on. They suck people in with this and that and it shows later on that they couldn't be bothered to do anything well half way through.
The whole point of E3 used to be about what is new and exciting in gaming but now there is no point to it. All the trailers are on the internet, all the coverage was on SpikeTV and online. And for what? To show people trailers for games? Big fucking whoop. It was neat 10 years ago when a few games had cinematic trailers but they would still have more gameplay. Now everyone just shows their movie and hopes we buy their shit.
captcha: dead air
yea... that's what E3 blows
Its funny becuase my favourite thing at e3 was lost planet 3.I just love the new direction to the franchise (Ive never seen a sequel that leans to horror , not away from it ) . Also im suprised that yahtzee never mention Metro LAST LIGHT .It just seems like his kind of thing .
OMG, Yahtzee thought a game was underrated, and it was a game by Free Radical.
Aside from the Halo comment I agree with everything Yahtzee has said. For me Halo is long overdue for a funeral. regardless if this one is on a new storyline it is still Halo, still Xbox only and when M$ pulled it from the PC market I ceased giving a shit about it other than wanting it to die along with many of its other FPS brethren that have long over stayed their welcome.
Oh and I prefer the Viking funerals myself.
I wouldn't call what the Publishers do at E3 lieing per se as much as I would call it making empty promises. Lots of empty promises.
That part about KoA: Reckoning having that name as a way to call it "part 1" without actually calling it that is kind of funny now. They tried to avoid tempting fate, but fate came knocking anyway.
And don't you worry Yahtzee, the XCOM FPS is still on the way. There was no u-turn. The FPS has just been pushed back really far and this strategy game has appeared while that other game is... doing whatever it is.
I agree that it's kind of silly Halo is still called Halo. This is something that's kind of annoyed me for a while. The actual Halo rings were only a main part of the plot for the first 2 games, and they don't appear to have even the slightest connection to this new series. It's strange to keep calling it Halo. Maybe they should just cut the Halo name and call it the Reclaimer Trilogy, or whatever it is they're calling this next batch of games. If they must include the Halo name it can be some kind of subtitle.
Dream Drop Distance may be a stupid name but it's far from the worst Kingdom Hearts name. Remember 358/2 Days? I can't even remember the stupid way you're supposed to pronounce that either. I think they only called Dream Drop Distance that because they were going to just call it "Kingdom Hearts 3D", but they decided they wanted to be obtuse to continue tradition.
And that line about the WiiU being a "solution looking for a problem" is rather profound. It nails it perfectly. It fits for so many other supposed "innovations" in entertainment as well.
Does this mean we can expect a Kingdom Hearts review? Because honestly, I want to see Yahtzee rip the whole idiotic lore a new one while making fanboys and way too many creepy fangirls (thank you, internet, for proving that rule 34 kills brain cells) cry and cry some more.
When it comes to the WiiU, I look just as much forward to yahtzee getting angry about it as he does. While I don't believe that the concept is bad (after all, two screens proved to be awesome for the DS), I do know that developers will use this opportunity to develop more shovelware with obligatory touchscreen waggling instead of wiimote waggling.
Now if that isn't innovation :/
You know, as much as looking at the Wii U makes me want to shake my head sadly at how pointless it seems, I remember that a lot of people said the same thing about motion controls early on and look how that turned out. Somehow I won't be surprised if we see Microsoft and Sony releasing touchpad controllers for their own systems a few years after launch.
Also, even if it seems misguided, it's nice to see that someone is at least still *trying* to be innovative with their video game consoles. Even if it fails, such experimentation can only help the game market.
While I fully agree that a demo is an attempt by a developer to put their best foot forward, I don't have a big problem with demo's over rentals for two reasons:
1) Demo's are free aside from the internet I'm already paying for.
At some point repeated empty broken promises just become lies when it happens again and again. For me this is what E3 has now become a pit of all but bold face lies thinly veiled under the guise of a promise by publishers with little to no intention of holding themselves to them.
I'm also surprised at the lack of "The Last of Us". Maybe he thinks it will be good but "safe", like his opinion on Uncharted, so he didn't have anything funny to say?
Isn't that essentially what an empty promise is? A promise that the person making it has no intention of following through on?
As far as games that look like sequels go...
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Hey you know what occurred to me? While the Wii U touchscreen seems rather inappropriate for what we might consider traditional console games, it's perfect for running a big TBS game on a home console. There's generally enough information in those games to justify having two sceens, and if it's turn based then having to look between the two screens is no longer a big deal.
Somehow I doubt Nintendo has thought that, but who knows?
Oh, there's all kinds of things they could do with it, one of the big reasons that a lot of people like, say, myself, are skeptical about it is what Nintendo and third-party developers will do with it. Blacking out the screen and telling you to look at the controller is extremely poor design, and functionally no better than just having a pop-up inventory that pauses the normal game. The touchscreen could very well bring strategy games to consoles and actually have them require the kind of complicated micro-managing that PC strategy games need. It could revolutionize how we play horror games, or action-adventure games, or RPG's, maybe even shooters, but the problem is how easy will it be for developers to work with it, and how gimmicky will the implementation of it become.
This is rich considering he can't work a Wiimote for jack so why should I find this statement credible? Sorry but I don't tend to listen to the opinions on controllers from people who've proven in the past that they're inept at using a certain controller. So really Yahtzee, how I can take this point seriously when you've bitched about being unable to play through No More Heroes 2 w/o a Classic Controller? (Which BTW, is the worst of the two control schemes)
Demos are fine, but I'm distrustful of them after the Brutal Legend fiasco, where I was promised Heavy-Metal themed God of War, and instead got heavy-metal themed RTS with God of War elements, which was significantly less fun. Nice to finally hear an actual consistent thought on Quantic Dream's works from our neighborhood curmudgeon, though.
So much truth in this article, particularly in the commentary on the WiiU. A solution looking for a problem is probably the best way I've seen/heard it stated.
To be fair Yahtzee, EVERY Kingdom Hearts title is fucking stupid. I would think they're doing it ironically if I didn't know that Japanese developers just take the two or three coolest sounding words and assign that to be the game's title. Kingdom Hearts 365/2 didn't make any sense to pronounce and Birth By Sleep made zero sense at all.
Maybe you should play the games. 358/2 days (that is 358 days over two), while I agree it is incredibly annoying to pronounce, makes perfect sense after you've played the entire game. Birth By Sleep as well.
Dream Drop Distance sounds silly, but I can almost guarantee that there will be a reason for the title that is revealed in the game itself, just like 358/2, BBS, and Chain of Memories.
Thank you. Always nice to hear more people pointing this one out.
I was beginning to think I was the only one who thought so. Everyone went nuts over Heavy Rain but I just can't get into a game where you press x to watch your boy do his homework and then press x to watch him eat dinner. That was pretty excruciating and I'm not exactly the kind of guy who needs to be shooting something every time he plays a game.
I saw the screen with "Look at the controller" and thought it was the worst possible advertisement for the Wii U. It may as well let you play a game, then when you've been playing for about two hours and you're really into it suddenly "Hey look outside your window, there's a sheep in the garden. Oh right, back to the game." appears on screen. Looking away from the screen is just an instant atmosphere and immersion killer.
Yes, pacing is certainly among the many, many things that Heavy Rain is terrible at. About the only thing it does well is atmosphere.
It really is amazing how quick Yahtee is to bash the Wii U without actually taking two seconds to think about the type of game that was being shown.
For those interested, here's the ZombiU video he was talking about:
In case the video didn't make it clear, ZombiU is a survival-horror game. The moments where you are required to look at the second screen are designed to highlight just how vulnerable your character is, and to make you feel tense and scared like you're actually under threat from zombies.
Sorry, but this is like complaining that Resident Evil 4's aiming controls were too clunky and unwieldy. It's gameplay designed to serve the purpose of the game, in this case, scaring the shit out of the player.
Anyways, apart from that, nice to see Second Sight get a shout-out. That game was criminally underrated.
Like the DS, the Wii U worries me in having crappy, touchscreen options. Still I think it has good applications in Pikmin 3, letting you see the whole map and switch characters quickly or a Resident Evil 4 type game where instead of breaking the action when trying to switch weapon you just click on your briefcase adn switch weapons.
At least it can end up like the kinect, with the mods being better than the games.
After E3 last year when no games had actually been announced, I thought the WiiU seemed like a great idea. I loved the idea of having the main game going on, then having the second screen as an omni-present map or inventory, which you can casually glance at or use without interrupting the flow of a game through pausing.
However after seeing the WiiU now I'm really not looking forward to it. When I'm looking at the guys on stage constantly flicking around the touch screen playing Rayman or the whole idea of having a player making blocks in NSMBU it's just turned me off completely. Essentially what could have been something half decent that subtly adds to a game experience is going to be shoe-horned in at every possible opportunity by developers so that it will in their minds give gamers a reason to actually buy the whole new console (which is tragically similar to what happened with the Wii's motion controls really). So I agree, now it just seems like a solution searching for a problem.
Yeah... I am sure the title makes perfect sense, despite having little sense in English. Also, I am sure its not some cheap word game because it abbreviates as 3D.
What do you think smartglass and the vita-PS3 connecting are. also I don't think it is a pointless solution looking for a problem. The problem is that Gamecube sold badly with a traditional control scheme and Nintendo needed to do something since making the next thing but stronger wouldn't bring back third parties since they could just go to the more successful xbox and playstation units. They did have a problem and they tied to fix it with the wiimote and they can't go back to a traditional control method since third parties still didn't go to their system. So wii u gamepad. good idea or not they don't have a choice if they want to stay open.
Could that screen of the WiiU possibly have been a demo and informing the player that the next step of the tutorial would be shown there?

Otherwise known as the it-dress of the moment, this monochrome delight from Anthony Vaccarello is something I wouldn't usually go for. If you would have told me: "OMG Cassie, there's this super hot 60s-looking, monochrome mini dress with one long sleeve by Anthony Vaccarello – you'll love it!" I would have rolled my eyes and questioned our friendship. The 60s look is definitely not my thing, and I don't do asymmetrical sleeves anymore following one dress I'm now trying to shift on eBay (to no avail, I might add).
Anthony Vaccarello "AN" Dress
Why have things changed? Why am I semi-obsessed with this one dress by a designer I've previously not really paid that much attention to (but that's changed, and his collaboration with Versus is HOT)? Well, because it's possibly the perfect mix of everything I'd usually hate.
On the hanger I wouldn't have looked twice at this dress, but seeing it editorially and on people made me change my perception of this monochrome mini. I love the huge lettering over the front of the dress, it's unexpected. The asymmetrical arm is done very well, and the fit is slightly loose which I love as is there nothing worse than a girl with an arse try to to pull of a 60s-esque dress and have it pulling over thighs and baggy everywhere else. The looser fit means it can be quite casual too – the dress could be paired with some Aquazzurras or black high tops and still work.
Available from farfetch, £1,860.

Students from the Challenge School, Liberty Middle School and Cherry Creek High School won a total of 42 awards at the 2018 Colorado Science and Engineering Fair (CSEF), held April 5-7 at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. More than 300 students in grades six through 12 from all over the state participated. The students first had to qualify at a regional science fair in order to present their projects at the CSEF to judges who represent a wide variety of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) organizations. Edward Bodoni, a junior at Cherry Creek High School, earned second place in the Senior Division with his project titled Bruxism: A Novel Diagnostic Approach. As one of the top five finalists in the Senior Division, Bodoni is eligible to attend the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, May 13-18, in Pittsburgh, Penn.Twelve Challenge School students qualified for the CSEF this year and every single one received some type of recognition for their work. Challenge School science teacher John Wiley says that accomplishment is a testament to the students' dedication and perseverance. "They showed strong scientific inquiry skills, persistence in research and testing and attention to thought and detail in their writing," Wiley said. "Regardless of the outcome, we couldn't be more proud of their effort and learning over the last several months."Congratulations to all of the CSEF award winners from Cherry Creek Schools:Liberty Middle School

Gov. Perry appoints Leonard to 238th District Court
Elizabeth Leonard will take the bench at the 238th District Court on Aug. 20.
Gov. Rick Perry announced on Thursday he'd appointed Leonard as judge of the 238th District Court for a term to expire at the next general election.
A spokeswoman in the governor's office said all of the necessary paperwork was filed with the Secretary of State's Office on Thursday. Leonard is scheduled to be sworn in -- which will allow her to officially take office -- on Aug. 20.
"I'm very excited," Leonard said. "I'm just ready to get started working and as soon as possible."
With no Democratic opponent, Leonard effectively won the seat during the July 31 primary run-off when she beat David Lindemood by garnering 53.7 percent of the vote.
Still, without the special appointment, Leonard would not have taken office until January 2013.
However, because the judicial seat has been open since the Jan. 2 death of Judge John Hyde, Perry elected to make an appointment shortly after the election.
Perry had the opportunity to appoint someone directly after Hyde's death but said at the time that he wanted the voters in Midland to select their next judge.
Judge Robert Moore III, of Big Spring, has been filling in during the interim in the 238th District Court.
Leonard said she'd hoped there would be an appointment because there's no Democrat vying for the position. She said she's been in contact with Moore, the district attorney's office and the 238th District Court coordinator to get a gauge of what activity is taking place in the court.
She said she's grateful for the chance to take on the new role.
"I just want to thank the voters of Midland County for giving me this opportunity," she said.
Leonard currently works as an attorney/landman at JTD Resources. Previously she worked for just more than 10 years as a prosecutor with the Midland County District Attorney's Office and in Ector County.
She holds a bachelor's degree from Baylor University and a law degree from South Texas College of Law. She's a member of the State Bar of Texas, the Midland County Bar Association and the Permian Basin Landmen's Association.
On Thursday, Perry also appointed Benjamin N. Smith, of McKinney, as judge of the 380th Judicial District Court in Collin County. The previous judge had resigned and vacated the seat and Smith won the position during the primary run-off election.

You are very familiar with the sounds of your home, the drone of the refrigerator, the hum of the heater, the buzz of the lights. These are the little white noises that comprise our day. One of these familiar sounds is the occasional sound of the water heater running. But what happens when this sound never stops? Is it OK for the water heater tank to be running all the time?
In most instances, the answer to our last question is no. If your water heater is constantly running, there is probably a problem. Here are a few potential problems your home or business could be having and a few steps you could take before calling the plumber.
You might have a leak – A leak would be a constant drain on the hot water supply within the tank. To make up for the loss of hot water, your tank would need to run more frequently to keep the same level of hot water as before. If your water heater is constantly running the first thing you should do is check the unit and the pipes immediately around it for leaks.
You might have insufficient insulation – If the water heater is not properly insulated, it will be unable to maintain the water temperature. If this is the issue you can purchase an insulating wrap at any local hardware store.
You might have sediment build-up – Over time sediment builds up in the bottom of your water heater. If you haven't drained your tank in a while, sediment may be causing your tank to function inefficiently. Draining the tank will clean it out and fix the efficiency problem. We provide advice on how to do it yourself, or if you want to avoid the time and mess of doing it yourself, give us a call!
Your tank might be old – Of course, your water heater issues might simply be from a tank that needs replacing. Older tanks will have to run more frequently to maintain a good water temperature. Solution: buy a new tank.
Relax. We're the Experts.
(That Means We Fix the Things Other Amateurs Miss)
Fast: Get service on your schedule! In most instances, we can even offer same-day service calls.
Honest: We never recommend anything outside the scope of your needs - scout's honor.
Financing: Say goodbye to that boxed in feeling. We offer flexible financing options (subject to credit approval).
Dependable: We arrive when we say we will. We'll apply an instant credit to your service if we're late.
Professional: We don't prey on our customers - we offer solutions rather than corny sales pitches.
No Hidden Fees: We keep everything transparent and we never charge extra for weekend calls.
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
All of our work is guaranteed. In fact, drains are guaranteed to remain free of stoppages for 30-90 days and all plumbing/HVAC labor is guaranteed for one year. Water and sewer lines have a 10-year transferrable warranty - at no additional charge to you!

Once bitten...
A couple of weeks ago we're in the middle of our workshop class when I was about to demo some lighting setup and guess what? Yup, I had left my CF (Memory Card) in my computer...
Those who know me are familiar with my methodical workflow, procedures and checklists and I have a good reason for that. Or so I think
See? Some years ago I planned to go to Pacifica and take some beach shots (surfers, people, kites, etc). I packed all my gear, got my 'assistants' ready and we headed out. I would like to think we got some pretty good shots that day. Unfortunately, we'll never know.
As it turned out, that afternoon I shot without a CF in my camera and didn't realize it until I was about to download the pictures later that night. However upset I was there was a lesson to be learned so I made changes to my Canon DSLR to Shoot w/o CF Off (Canon Cameras are set to ON by default) and I added all my old CF's to my bag as backup
So, this week even though my CF was at home when I tried to shoot the viewfinder blinked a "NO CF" warning and refused to take a picture. Easy fix! Just had to dig in one of the pockets and pull an old CF and continued with the class
Who knows? Maybe that became another lesson in itself :)
Before leaving home hit the 'Preview' Button on your Camera. This will let you know if you have a battery in the camera, if you have pictures in your memory card (and need to transfer/ingest them), or no card and no memory card

When people ask me "How is your daughter doing?" my most recent response has been, "better than me on most days." Because when you really stop and think about how our kids think and feel, we carry so much more of their disability around with us than they do. For most of our kids, they have never known life any other way.
Whether your child's disability is medical, or in the area of their cognitive, communication, physical or adaptive area of development, we all must remember that their limitations are only part of who they are. Their disability does not define them as a person.
In my daughter's world, her muscles don't always appear to agree with what our definition of mobility is, but to her, it is just the way she moves. She doesn't even realize that anything about the way she walks, holds a pencil, or runs is in any way different than other kids. I truly think that in part, she thinks and feels that way because we have never made her feel that she was any different.
Sure, because she is seven years old, she now knows the reason she goes to therapy appointments weekly, and why she has more doctor's appointments than other children. But when she inquires about these things that are part of her daily routines, we don't make a big deal out of them; they are just things she needs to make her body stronger. And our explanations are enough for her. She is very satisfied with her life the way it is she knows no other way.
But as special parents, it's not always that simple for us. We carry the burdens of our child's disability around with us in our minds. As moms and dads, we naturally want the best lives for our kids, and we know that the challenges they have today will, in some way, limit their lives as adults. We must respond to their daily struggles with consistent confidence to ensure they don't feel any different on the inside.
The way I respond to the things that my daughter has to deal with because her muscles are tight, is vital to her ability to accept herself. Even if I am having a bad day of worries and fears in my mind, I have to be consistent in the way I react to anything that she does that may be "non-typical." And in the process of being conscious about the responses I give her, my level of acceptance and peace regarding who she is as a person naturally increases. I feel the longer I have been on this journey, the easier this becomes - it's all part of the process.
It is a freeing, wonderful feeling. Her determined spirit shines above any limitation that I may see in any given moment, and that is what I choose to focus on. The more I make the conscious decision to see all that she can do, the things that she struggles with seem non-existent.
I know we all have more mountains to climb than most parents, but we must focus on the amazing scenery that surrounds those mountains in our child's life. I've realized that the one reason our kids do better than us as a whole is because they are not looking to the next mountain that has to be conquered - they are just enjoying who they are on this journey. They're not worried about a missed turn or a bump in the road, they just see themselves for who they are taking one step at a time, the best way they know how.
Let's agree this month not to expend all of our energy focusing on how steep the mountains are, let's instead enjoy the strength and beauty that shines all around the mountain - all of the things that make our kids unique. Unique not because they have disabilities, but because the extraordinary human beings they are, and the truly special parents they are making us.

Graeter's Ice Cream Review & Giveaway
A few weeks ago, I got an email with the header of "Oprah's Favorite Ice Cream". Needless to say I was very intrigued. The email was about Graeter's ice cream. They have recently started selling them in Kroger and Meijer in Michigan and they were kind enough to send me a package with 6 pints of different flavors.
Before we discuss the ice cream itself, I was happy to learn the following about them: its a fourth generation family-owned company their signature is using the French Pot process of making only 2-gallons at a time with all-natural ingredients like heavy cream and pure cane sugar. Yeah, you heard what I said. 2 gallons at a time! Read more about it here. That is insane, but shows what dedication is. Now…on to the ice cream.
It was so nice to come home and find ice cream waiting for me! I was a bit dubious about receiving it in the mail, but I was amazed at how well packed and insulated it was. There was a nice little note in there, and a pack of dry ice to keep the ice cream cold.
You can see how cold the ice cream was below. What a great way to ship it.
It was a rainbow of pints that greeted me, and I couldn't wait to try each of them.
The flavors of ice cream: Mocha Chocolate Chip, Butter Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, Strawberry, Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip, and Vanilla.
I always judge how good a brand is from their vanilla. You can cover up a bad base with flavor, but not with vanilla. The Graeter's vanilla was so delicious, and creamy. You can also see the vanilla bean, which I always love.
The other interesting flavor was the Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. I was looking forward to wrapping my lips around this one. I don't think I have ever tasted anything like it, and believe me I have had alot of ice cream. lol. It was creamy, and tasted like raspberries. I loved the color too, since purple is my favorite.
The strawberries and cream was delightful. Creamy and light, not overwhelmingly sweet.
Under the purple scoop above is the mint chocolate chip. I'm so used to eating green ice cream, I wasn't expecting a white mint ice cream. But I appreciate them not adding artificial colors, and enjoyed it even more.
My hubby and I agreed though, that the Mocha was one of the best we have ever had. Chocolate and coffee are always good partners, and the chocolate chips just push it over for the win! Lets just say that pint disappeared fast!
The ice cream is creamy and delicious, and definitely a must try. I loved trying the different flavors and picking my favorites. This is a high quality ice cream. You should try it for yourself, and let me know. And now the part you have been waiting for 🙂
The fine folks at Graeter's also want to giveaway a similar ice cream package of 6 pints to one of you!
To enter, just comment below with what your favorite flavor is. Or, if you don't want to tell me, you can just tell me why you love me so much , humble I know! lol.

Maritime is an American indie pop band formed in 2003 after the breakup of The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan. Eric Axelson (bass guitarist) of The Dismemberment Plan and Davey von Bohlen (singer/guitarist) and Dan Didier (drummer) of The Promise Ring started a band called In English. The group quickly signed a deal with the record label ANTI- and hired J. Robbins to produce their record. Robbins had previously produced records for both The Promise Ring and The Dismemberment Plan. After delivering the record to ANTI-, the company decided it did not want the record. The band changed its name to Maritime and signed with DeSoto Records.

On February 6, 2006, Axelson announced that he was leaving the band. He was replaced on bass guitar by Justin Klug.
Their second album, We, the Vehicles, was released on April 18, 2006, on Flameshovel Records to wide critical acclaim.
jeffy stars in a commercial! http://www.smlmerch.com
I put together ten of the most funny commercials that made me laugh and that are also famous, that have written history so to say. You find the description below. I hope you enjoy them as I did. Tell me in the comments which one is your #1 - or at least your #1.5 - I will include your vote in the ranking at the end of this text to see which commercial people like the most. These ads are included: 1. Cinesite Studios, "Beans", also called "Not for Austronauts" or the "Astronaut Ad" from 2013, a mock ad – the non-existent Haynes Baked Beans only resemble Heinz – for the famous visual effects and feature animation studio known for movies like Harry Potter, Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Civil War, and others whose logo appears at the end. This hillarious commercial is often shown ...
I put together ten commercials from the 2019 Super Bowl which I think were the best. I have to be honest, this year I didn't enjoy them as I normally do, their quality and entertainment were not as good as usual. So I included what I liked, leaving out some of the famous commercials the media was talking about like Amazon/Alexa with Harrison Ford, Pringles, Michelob Ultra, Bumble with Serena Williams, Stella Artois, NFL, Pampers, etc., because despite their star power they don't have much to offer in my opinion. I hope you enjoy my compilation even more, these commercials are funny as it gets and one very touching. Tell me in the comments which commercial is the best, I will include your vote in the ranking to see which commercial people like the most. NOTE: Sadly, I can't do that anymore...

I put together ten funny commercials and included also some rare ads. I hope you enjoy them as I did. IMPORTANT: I apologize, in the Taylor Swift commercial the music is missing - there was a copyright issue and I had to delete it. These ads are included: 1. Mercedes Benz E55 AMG with "The Beast", apparently from 2003 2. Chevrolet "Happy Grad" from the Super Bowl 2012 3. Anheuser-Busch Budweiser beer / Bud light with "Swear Jar" from 2007 – it never aired on TV because it was considered too risky, only on internet, got over 12 million views around the web, something very special at this time, and was awarded the Excellency Emmy 2008 of The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for Outstanding Commercial 4. Doritos "Dog Goner" 5. Skittles with "Settle It"("Settle it the usual way") ...

Elderly St. Anthony man with dementia found
The night of Sept. 13 St. Anthony police posted a missing person alert to their Facebook page.
Thomas, whose last name was not included to protect his family, 87 years old and with dementia, was last seen earlier that afternoon at a jewelry store on Pentagon Drive in St. Anthony. Luckily, he wasn't missing for long.
The next morning on Sept. 14 police announced that Thomas had been located and returned home to his family.
"Thank you to all in the community for your concern and assistance with looking out for Tom," wrote the St. Anthony police in an update to the missing person alert.
Shortly after the police posted the alert, support poured in from people inside and out of the city.
Some who knew Thomas said he was a sweet man and expressed sadness at the news. One woman asked if the police needed volunteers to look for him — the department declined because they didn't have a good idea of where he was.
Another commentator chipped in information about people with dementia and ways for someone who finds Thomas to communicate with him.
A lot of concern came in the form of neighbors anxiously awaiting an update.
People outside of St. Anthony, in nearby places like New Brighton and various areas of Minneapolis, said they shared the missing person alert with their community Facebook groups and would keep an eye out in their areas.
When Thomas was found the next morning, the support poured in once more, this time in the form of relief.
People posted every kind of joyous exclamation at the news of Thomas being back with his family. And people complimented and thanked the St. Anthony police for finding him.

Familiar with depression and doomed love affairs, Poulenc's last opera La Voix Humaine (1959) was a deeply personal work based on the play of the same name by his long-standing friend Jean Cocteau.
An intense 50-minute tour de force for solo soprano, it was written for the French singer Denise Duval, leading lady in all of Poulenc's operas. She was also suffering an emotional crisis at the time and the work is a devastating musical portrait of a human being on the brink of disintegration. Alone in her flat, Elle cradles the phone as she tries to put on a brave face for her ex-lover at the other end, hampered by crossed lines and wrong numbers.
It will be performed in an English translation by soprano Sarah Minns with Richard Black (piano), directed by OperaUpClose's Artistic Director, Robin Norton-Hale.
Poulenc's La Voix Humaine will be performed at King's Place, London on July 2.

Music is one of the best art forms to follow if you want to track cultural shifts. How telling is it that the biggest musical right now is a retelling of the American Revolution set to hip-hop?
One of the largest cultural influencers of the past two decades has been the internet. While techno music has reflected machinery's impact on society since the 1980s, the internet is a different beast with unique artistic needs. If you're in the mood for music for today's meme-filled online world, throw yourself to the currents of "vaporwave."
What does today look like? The 1950s had a look. The 1960s had a look. The 1970s definitely had a look. But it seems like society left distinctive cultural style behind at the new millennium along with the monoculture. There's a reason why no one guessed 2011 film The Final Destination was actually set in 2000. Aside from the technology, the two years don't immediately look all that different, and some say tech is to blame.
To make complex new tech more approachable, designers tend to employ real-world analogues like the desktop metaphor on computers or a note-taking app modeled after a physical notepad. But while that does help the progress of technology, it also tethers us to aging visual language and slows down that language's evolution. Combine that with the sweet temptation of nostalgia and we're basically running in a stylistic circle. Vaporwave was born from this loop.
What is vaporwave? Just mention it on one of the chiller parts of the internet and you'll soon learn the answer. But here's a rundown if you don't have time. Vaporwave is an electronic music microgenre from the early 2010s. Its stylistic influences include chillwave, smooth jazz, chopped and screwed, new-age, and pop. To explain it in words kind of ruins the point. Vaporwave is the muzak that plays in an elevator in a mall in a futuristic Japanese cyberpunk dystopia. It's the music sedated freaks listen to on the neo-dance floor. It's the jams your funky smartphone mediates to when it's running low on power and is cool with it. It's a word that can't be shouted, only coolly whispered. Vaporwave isn't vaporware, it's real.
Vaporwave isn't just something you listen to either, it's something you experience, and experiences include visuals. Vaporwave visual art, simply referred to as "aesthetics," is varied but tends to honor some core tenets. If you're looking at something pink and teal with a marble classical bust and a glitchy Windows 95 logo, you're probably looking at a vaporwave aesthetic. If you're watching a YouTube video with a title written in a weirdly soothing stretched out font, you're probably watching a vaporwave aesthetic.
If you haven't guessed by now, vaporwave is a bit of a joke, or more accurately, an internet meme. Vaporwave's trippy immediate artistic ancestor "seapunk" was a running inside joke on Tumblr during 2011 about fashion and art and music inspired by the ocean. The look and sound of a psychedelic club run by a hipster Ariel from The Little Mermaid is a pretty accurate summation. Neon seapunk imagery even found its way into Rihanna's 2012 Saturday Night Live performance, confounding many viewers with its colorful and stylish but garish, cheap, and seemingly unprofessional grainy green screen look. The exact difference between seapunk and vaporwave is blurry, but as far as I understand vaporwave trades the aquatic focus for a fascination with the emptiness of aging and/or amateur glossy commercialism. It's the music playing behind an infomercial for public access purgatory.
Not content with my own descriptions, I asked a few friends and co-workers to summarize the microgenre and got back some great responses.
"When you're crossfaded at 6 AM, fall off the couch and butt-dial god, vaporwave is the hold music."
"Vaporwave is the soundtrack to Michael Mann's adaptation of TekWar."
"Vaporwave is what plays in grocery stores on the moon."
"Vaporwave is the last hour of a warehouse rave in Animal Crossing."
"Vaporwave is the Throwback Thursday theme at the not-quite-out-of-business disco on an asteroid."
Vaporwave's foundational text has to be 2011's Floral Shoppe, a landmark album by musician Ramona Andra Xavier A.K.A. Vektroid. For many, that album's cover alongside its biggest single "リサフランク420 / 現代のコンピュー (Risafuranku 420 / Gendai no Konpyū Lisa Frank 420 / Modern Computing)" defines vaporwave. I can't blame them. That song does amazing things by slowing down "It's Your Move" by Diana Ross into a whole new type of sound. It's practically the national anthem for memes. Floral Shoppe is a genuinely great and soothing ambient experimental album. ""ピコ" (Piko I Am Pico)" in particular sounds like living inside a freshly used saxophone bong on VHS tape. Unsurprisingly, some critics loved the album whereas others failed to understand it. But as its importance to the burgeoning art form has crystallized, its stock has only risen. Vektroid is an extremely prolific young artist, and has produced and released over forty albums and EPs under various pseudonyms in the past ten years.
If you want to dive deeper into the scene there are plenty of other great artists to check out. We've already mentioned Saint Pepsi's affinity for McDonald's magnificent spokesmoon Mac Tonight, but Late Night Delight is a dope album. My favorite single from his, though, has to be the refreshing "Cherry Pepsi" from 2013's Hit Vibes. His remix of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is another sleepy success. Meanwhile, on the visual side, Lucien Hughes on YouTube is doing pioneering work with the Simpsonwave aesthetic. The videos are certainly better than the actual cartoon at this point. Simpsonwave also demonstrates the flexibility of the vaporwave style. Simpsonwave videos sometimes feature songs that wouldn't be classified as vaporwave on their own, like rap or intense techno, but combined with the wavy video clips of everyone's favorite yellow family the overall work is still profoundly vaporwave.
I said earlier that vaporwave was born of the tech-fueled nostalgic loop that informs so much of whatever you could call today's cultural aesthetic. So let me get even more pretentious. Vaporwave is such a thoroughly internet art form. It exemplifies identity defined by lack of identity, remix culture. It grabs personality from other past sources like cheesy 80s slow jams or the Japanese funk of Sega Genesis video games. Vaporwave recognizes we're just far enough removed from the 1990s, AOL-esque incarnation of the internet to be nostalgic style for that style, too. Vaporwave is dripping with irony. New Sincerity is all the rage these days with the youth, but vaporwave on some level is still about mocking how bad the things it's referencing are.
The means by which vaporwave is created and spread also reflects its roots in internet culture. It's made entirely by manipulating samples and beats on a computer, so if you're tech-savvy you can still produce it even if you aren't the greatest musician. It's spread in weird underground ways like in stupid message boards or boutique online stores so it catches on like a meme. There's also a meme quality to the markers that signify vaporwave like the color scheme and marble busts and fonts. If you recognize Vektroid's "420" track, hearing it show up again and again in unexpected context gets funnier and funnier. I also think the style of the music itself is a great fit for internet culture. It's relaxing and silly and doesn't take itself too seriously. It's the benign pothead to the fast, intense, and coke fiend techno music genres that dominate the mainstream. Just slow down, enjoy yourself, and vape.
I also think it's hilarious how much contempt some music producers have for the genre. There's already a stigma around electronic music because some believe it takes no skill to create. Vaporwave, meme music, sounds even lazier since you can just slow down old songs, add a drug haze atmosphere, and laugh at the results (although it's harder than it looks, trust me, I bought FL Studio). Check out this vaporwave tutorial from musician FrankJavCee. He's partially doing a bit, sure, but he doesn't respect vaporwave in the slightest, even though he makes an awesome track!
Does vaporwave have a future? It's been five years since Floral Shoppe dropped and we're still talking about the genre as more people discover it. But there's also a chance the gag will get old, if it isn't already. People were not happy when Tumblr and MTV adopted a vaporwave look, since corporations adopting an inherently anti-corporate comedic aesthetic kind of ruins the joke. However, art is an evolving and organic thing, and we can already see vaporwave influencing other emerging music trends. Saint Pepsi eventually rebranded himself as Skylar Spence, and while I wouldn't call his new album Prom King vaporwave per se, it has a similar appeal.
Better yet, as kids raised online grow up and internet culture just becomes culture, what if vaporwave impacts all kinds of mainstream media? Think about watching a vaporwave comic book movie, learning the joys of vaporwave cooking, reading a vaporwave manifesto, or playing a vaporwave video game. VaporWave Race? Mad Men vaporwave. Don Draperwave? This wave could break bigger than we could possibly imagine.

Sub.: 1. For sending suggestions for the betterment of Collegium System and/or to participate in the Joint Meeting of all the State Bar Councils, Bar Associations and other stake holders.
2. W. P. (C) No.13/2015 (Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association and Anr. Vs. Union of India).
Dear Sir,
As you know, the special 5-Judges Bench of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India is hearing the matters and inviting suggestions for bettering the Collegium System in order to make the Collegium System independent and transparent. The matter was heard on 3rd and 5th November, 2015. Large numbers of suggestions have been received by the Apex Court. Today, the Hon'ble Apex Court was of the view that the public in general and all the stake holders should get an opportunity to make their suggestions and with that view of the matter, the Bar Council of India being the Apex Body of the Lawyers has also been entrusted with the task to convene a meeting of representatives from all the State Bar Councils, all the Bar Associations of High Courts, the Supreme Court Bar Association and other concerned. The suggestions received in the office of the Bar Council of India are to be submitted to the Hon'ble Apex Court latest by evening of 13th November, 2015.
The issue of transparency, collegium secretariat, eligibility criteria and complaints are to be considered and the Councils/Associations are supposed to give their suggestions in writing to Bar Council of India so that the same may be placed in proper format before the Hon'ble Apex Court on 13thNovember, 15.
Therefore, Bar Council of India requests all the State Bar Councils to send their 2 representatives along with their written suggestions and to participate in the Joint Meeting on 13th November, 2015 at 10.00 A.M. in the premises of the Bar Council of India, 21, Rouse Avenue, Institutional Area, New Delhi.
Similarly, all the Bar Associations of all the High Courts are also requested to furnish their suggestions on the aforementioned points on the email of Bar Council of India i.e. email@example.com or before 9th November, 2015 and to send one representative from their association to participate in the Joint Meeting on the aforementioned date and time.
The Supreme Court Bar Association is also requested to compile its suggestions and to send it to Bar Council of India on or before 9th November, 2015 and the Supreme Court Bar Association is further requested to nominate 11 Members (Senior and other advocates) to place the views of Supreme Court Bar Association in the aforementioned Joint Meeting.
All the Chairmen of all the State Bar Councils, Presidents of all the High Court Bar Associations and President of Supreme Court Bar Association are requested to convene the emergent meeting of their Associations on or before 9th November, 2015 in order to seek the suggestions of their Members and other stake holders. The Bar Council of India has no option to extend the time because of the constraint of time fixed by the Hon'ble Apex Court.
Hon'ble Chairmen/Presidents and other Office Bearers will certainly realize the importance of the issue. It's an opportunity for the legal fraternity to have their say in the process of appointment of High Courts and Supreme Court's Judges and whatever steps we can suggest for a transparent collegium, we should not miss this opportunity and we should participate in the Joint Meeting to be held on 13th November, 2015.
The concerned State Bar Council and High Court Bar Associations of the High Courts shall bear the cost of travel, stay including local transportation etc.
The meeting shall be held in the Auditorium of Bar Council of India. You are cordially invited to attend the meeting.
The suggestions should be concise and precise. The main points should be in one page only. Those who fail to send their written suggestions shall not be allowed to participate in the meeting.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
