The UK has been granted another extension by the EU, which means that MPs now have until 31 October 2019 to decide on a Withdrawal Agreement.
The decision could see the UK take part in the European elections in May, but it does provide time for Theresa May to look at alternative agreements that could be put in place.
However, as with all things Brexit it seems, nothing is certain and we can still only guess as to the eventual outcome.
Ahead of what's very likely going to be another hectic week in Parliament, here's what you need to know about the EU customs union and single market.
What is the EU customs union?
A customs union is a group of nations or states which have all agreed to charge the same import duties as other members of the same union, and usually permit free trade between each other.
The EU customs union consists of the member states of the European Union, as well as Turkey, Andorra and San Marino.
There are no tariffs, nor are there non-tariff barriers to trade between members of the EU customs union.
As long as Britain remains within the EU, it too will be a member of the European Union's Customs Union.
It also sets tariff rates for any imports coming into the EU from non-EU countries.
Therefore, upon the event of Brexit, the UK would likely have new charges enforced upon it as a result of any trades with any nations in the EU.
Monday's indicative voting saw the customs union option lose about by just three votes, with 273 MPs voting for and 276 voting against.
What is the EU single market?
A single market is a group of countries which trade goods among themselves without imposing tariffs or restrictions.
The EU single market came into effect in 1993, and aims to guarantee the free movement of what is known as the 'four freedoms': services, labour, capital and goods.
The UK's future when it comes to the EU single market is also uncertain, as a result of the perpetual uncertainty surrounding Brexit.
There are a great many variables at play which would determine our trade future with the EU, including the PM seemingly prepared to open up the option for a second referendum.
The PM said the 'default outcome' of voting down her deal was still leaving without a deal at all.
'The alternative is to pursue a different form of Brexit or a second referendum,' she told MPs to cheers from the opposition benches.
She added: 'The bottom line remains: if the House does not approve the Withdrawal Agreement this week and is not prepared to countenance leaving without a deal, we would have to seek a longer extension.'

OKLAHOMA CITY — In Nov. of 2007, Oklahoma City Police responded to a call of a man, Brandon Mitchell, lying in the roadway in the 7600 block of N. Douglas Blvd.
It was later determined that he had been shot. Mitchell was critically wounded and transported to an area hospital.
He was later transferred to a long-term care facility. He stayed there until Dec. 26 of 2015, when he finally succumbed to his injuries.
Oklahoma City Police was notified of his death on Jan. 5, 2016.
After the shooting, investigators arrested Shane Guyton, Darrell Ellison and Eric Dunn on complaints of shooting with intent to kill and robbery with a firearm.
Guyton died in 2011 in an unrelated homicide.
Due to the fact that Brandon Mitchell died in 2015, officials are recording his death in that year.

Now that Spring is in full effect here in Saint Louis, I've been breaking out all my favorite Spring clothes. My favorite part of switching out my winter wardrobe is getting to find all my favorite sandals from last year. I don't think I realized quite how many pairs of sandals I've actually accumulated over the past couple of years. It's getting a little out of hand.
I've also maybe picked up a few paris of sandals over the past few weeks too. I can't help it though, I've been finding amazing deals literally everywhere. I recently picked up both these and these sandals a few weeks ago on ridiculous sale. I'm loving the short block heel style right now too, like this pair. I'm also way into this pair of gladiators which are much more affordable compared to the $1,000 designer version.
I'm planning on wearing this pair all weekend to enjoy the beautiful weather. Chuck and I are spending the weekend relaxing and catching up on Game of Thrones before the premiere Sunday. The warmer weather and longer days mean Chuck's a very happy dog right now with lots of time at the dog park. I've also got a fun brunch planned for Sunday that I'm super excited about. There will be more to come on that later.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

What Bigfoot In Your Dreams Mean
Ever had a dream with bigfoot in it? No, not one of THOSE dreams ya sicko, just a dream with bigfoot. Well check out what it might mean.
To dream of the mythical bigfoot may represent a person or situation in your life that offers warm companionship, yet is a dangerous threat to your well-being.
If you dreamed of a mountain-dwelling bigfoot, you will need to be strong to get through a tough social or emotional ordeal.
If the creature you saw dwelled in the forest, follow your instincts to keep certain things to yourself - this is an important time to protect your privacy. Also be careful of giving in to irrational urges that go against what's best for you.

Migraines are severe, recurring headaches which involve inflammation in the blood vessels of the cranium as well as a change in nerve stimulation, which leads to pain receptors being stimulated.¹′² Roughly 15% of the population gets migraines at some stage in their lives, most commonly between the ages of 20 to 45. They are more common in women than men.³
The throbbing pain of a migraine can occur at either one or both temples and, unlike in other types of headaches, there are usually other symptoms, like nausea and light or sound sensitivity. In roughly 25% of sufferers there are preceding visual symptoms (an aura) such as light flashes or tunnel vision which can last a few minutes to a few hours. A migraine can last from a few hours to a couple of days and the pain is usually made worse by physical activity. How often migraines happen and how severe they are varies from person to person.¹
What Causes Migraines?
The triggers of migraines are vast and they are different for each person who suffers from them. For some, a migraine is triggered by red wine or skipping a meal, while others may get them from lack of sleep, a change in the weather or from stress. In women one common trigger is hormone fluctuations, while for many sufferers certain foods present potential triggers.¹ Which particular foods act as triggers is different from person to person, and keeping a headache/diet diary may help to identify trigger foods.
What Can I do to help manage them?
There are several natural options available to help with migraine management. It is important to understand that many of these supplements help to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks, so need to be taken regularly, rather than just when a migraine hits.
It has been found that people who get migraines generally have lower magnesium levels than people who do not get them. This low level of magnesium potentially leads to spasms of the arteries in the head and the release of pain mediators.⁴ A recent review of previous studies has found that overall, magnesium supplementation was helpful in reducing the frequency of migraines.⁵
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin):
A clinical trial has shown that 400mg per day of Vitamin B2 can be effective in helping to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, as well as how long they tend to last for.⁶ Other, previous studies have shown similar results with both riboflavin on its own and in combination with magnesium and feverfew,⁷ making this a promising nutrient to help with migraine management.
Feverfew has a long history of being used to treat migraine,⁸ which led to studies being conducted and published since 1985.⁷ One study found that people who took feverfew experienced a lower pain intensity and less severe associated symptoms.⁹ Another review found Feverfew to generally be beneficial in helping to prevent migraines. ¹⁰ Overall, Feverfew seems to be a great herb in helping to reduce migraine frequency and, in some cases, intensity.⁷
CoEnzyme Q10:
This nutrient is widely used for its benefits in energy production and heart health. Several studies done over the last few years have shown that CoQ10 may also be helpful in reducing the frequency of migraines. Not only this, but it could help reduce the duration of the migraine. The dosages most of these studies recommend is 150 to 300mg per day and treatment for a minimum of three months is advised.⁷
Alpha Lipoic Acid:
Alpha Lipoic Acid has shown promise for the treatment/prevention of migraines. One study found that 600mg per day of Alpha Lipoic Acid helped sufferers to have attacks less often. It also seemed to reduce the number of headache days and the severity of the headaches.¹¹ While more research is needed in regards to using Alpha Lipoic Acid in migraine treatment, existing results are certainly optimistic.
Willow Bark:
Willow Bark has been widely used for its pain relieving effects. Its pain relieving benefits extend into helping relieve migraine headaches, especially when combined with Fevefew! A study conducted has shown that when you combine Willow Bark and Feverfew, these two herbs together reduced the number of attacks and the severity of them by at least 50% in most of the people involved in the study. ⁸
Lavender Oil:
Most of us know lavender oil for its calming effect, but did you know, it may also be a headache and migraine reliever? One study found that smelling lavender essential oil for 15 minutes helped relieve or at least reduced the pain in most of the migraine sufferers who participated.¹² It's a great oil for migraine sufferers to keep on hand.
There are some great natural options when it comes to migraine management. One thing to remember with the nutrients and herbs though, is to give them sufficient time to work. As most of these aim to reduce the frequency of migraine attacks, they won't work overnight (as fabulous as this would be). Based on all the mentioned studies, most of these supplements (with the exception of lavender oil) need to be taken for a good three months to reach their full effect.
If you are a migraine sufferer and haven't been assessed by your Doctor, please see your doctor to do so. Before trying any new supplements, please speak to your healthcare practitioner to ensure they are suitable for you to take.

22 Journal of Regulatory Compliance Vol. I
of the term "government failure" might be lacking in substance, there is real
substance, real cost, and real harm in the government's intrusion into the
trucking industry. More importantly, those harms will continue until and
unless society accepts that not all distortions in the market arise naturally;
many are imposed from above.
Society need not abandon the notion of regulation entirely, for there are
times when small adjustments can improve market outcomes that have been
distorted by information asymmetries, externalities, principal agent
problems, and so on. However, the example of the trucking industry should
encourage caution; regulations should be seen as only a corrective measure,
applied when a specific flaw can be identified and a well-defined solution
can be crafted. Given the state of the current regulatory regime in the U.S.,
its scope and severity, it is highly unlikely that we are experiencing an
optimal outcome. Serious consideration, therefore, should be given to every
regulation to determine whether it is helping cure a market failure or creating
a brand new, harmful government failure.

`- Proudly Presents:
Game.....: Shenmue: Chapter 1 Yokosuka (C) Sega / AM2
Origin...: JAPAN - NTSC - Filename.....: E-SHEM1/2/3.001
Released.: October 6th, 2000 - Format.......: DiscJuggler (CDI)
Platform.: Sega Dreamcast (DC) - CD(s)........: 3
CD1 Info.: 27 RARS / 80 MINS - Ripped.......: See Release Notes
CD2 Info.: 29 RARS / 80 MINS - Ripped.......: See Release Notes
CD3 Info.: 29 RARS / 80 MINS - Ripped.......: See Release Notes
Bonus CD4 Info: Music CD encoded in MP3 at 192 KBit / 44 KHZ.
- --- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------>
Today we present you one of the hardest and best made GD-ROM rips
in existence. Being a game that has several years and several
millions of dollars put into it, this game is simply a masterpiece.
This game is so groundbreaking that it is put into its own genre:
FREE - Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment.
In addition, it was also one of the hardest games to rip, and it
took about a week of effort from one of our best crackers (you know
who you are :) to get down to the size of an 80 Minute CD.
All speech on ALL CD's had to be downsampled, and also some
of CD3's music data had to be blanked out completely because
CD3 was much larger than the first 2 CD's and it is impossible to
make all of the music fit on an 80 Minute CD. This game also had
custom memory locations and checks on the mini-games (Space Harrier
& Hang-On).
This games' CD's can be swapped in the same manner which you can
swap the Resident Evil games - Save at the end of the CD when it
prompts you to save, Turn off the system, boot the next CD, and
pick 'Load game' and load up that save.
Also, we have included scanned covers with this release, as well
as the Bonus Music CD that came with the Limited Edition version
of this game, Shenmue Jukebox - Heart Beats. It is in MP3 format
for all of those who want it.
Enjoy this fine rip, and be sure to buy the English version when
it comes out, Sega deserves your support for this masterpiece.
- --- Game Information --------------------------------------------->
The first chapter of Yu Suzuki's epic saga is at hand. Shenmue is
an adventure game that transports you to Japan, circa 1986. You
are Ryo, a young man trying to solve the mystery of his father's
death. Along the way, you'll be treated to the most richly-detailed
game world ever conceived. Shenmue offers a true living world,
where characters exist on their own timelines and almost all objects
can be manipulated and used. Over the course of the adventure, you
will learn new hand-to-hand fighting techniques, presented in
breathtaking motion-captured animations. You'll also interact with
literally hundreds of characters and solve a myriad of puzzles.
It's epic storytelling at its best, and it's only on Sega Dreamcast.
Game Features:
- A massive, highly detailed 3D world featuring hundreds of
interactive characters and objects to interact with.
- Real-time fighting and action scenes with motion capture by real
budo experts.
- In-game arcade features Sega classics such as Hang On and Space
- "Magic Weather" technology brings the world to life with changes
to landscapes, climate, and vegetation.
- Created by Yu Suzuki, the mastermind of arcade hits such as Virtua
Fighter & Ferrari F355 Challenge.

- --- Group News --------------------------------------------------->
1) Notice to the public: #ECHELON on EFNet is not the official
Echelon channel, it is rather a channel of imitators. Do not
take anything they say to be related to ECHELON, Thanks.
2) We generally don't do something like this, but we feel that it's
in our best interest to let the public know the truth about
the Maken X Self-Boot release:
What is the point in stealing someone elses work and creating a
non-working image? Echelon is a group about quality and
releasing games that work 100%, in all levels (or at least we
try to make it that way!) and we don't blatantly rape games.
If a game is unrippable, then it is unrippable, if a game is
unrippable to self-boot, then it is unrippable to self-boot.
We won't rape it just to get a half-assed release out there.
Dchackers ripped NECESSARY files for completing Maken X no
matter what they may try to come up with for an excuse. Not to
mention that they stole another groups endless hours of effort,
downsizing, reindexing, and rebuilding the custom commentary
file on it, and what do they give us in return? Name calling.
That is surely enough rambling about a group that doesn't even
deserve to be mentioned in of our NFO's, so we will leave it here.

Phase modulating effects combine the original signal of the guitar with one or more copies of itself that have been altered in phase. This creates a sound similar to that of a jet flying by.
Phasers produce their sounds similarly to flange effects, but the phase and replication of the original sound signal produce a "spacier" effect than the more natural tone of flange effects.

I like Mondays. The potential for a good week gets me jazzed! Still fresh from the weekend, I'm making lists and getting things done. By Tuesday, the weekend buzz has worn off and the reality of four more workdays looms over my head like my frizzy hair. By midweek, I need some kind of fun to shake off stress and break up the week. That's why on Wednesday nights, I love to go to Rock Bottom in the Waterfront to watch local favorites GOOD BROTHER EARL play some rockin' acoustic sets.
Calli's restaurant sits across from Frick Park in Regent Square. If you've ever been to Rose's Ice Cream Parlor, you may have noticed it next door. There are two entrances, one on the Forbes Avenue side, and another on Braddock Avenue.
You've all thought it—"If I send this soup back because it's cold my server is going to spit in it!" Not true! In my 20+ years of working in the food service industry, I've never once seen anyone spit in food. There are many myths that surround restaurant and their practices; some are true, while some are total fabrications. Check out a few restaurant truths

Windows Phone 7: Will It Get Microsoft in the Smartphone Game?
Microsoft, which is playing catch-up in the smartphone market, recently gave reviewers a look at the latest test version of its Windows Phone 7 operating system.
The word is that the system, which Microsoft let people test on a prototype device that won't ever be produced, has some good points. But is it good enough to help Microsoft move ahead in a market that is already home to the iPhone, BlackBerry and now Android devices? Microsoft has seen its share of the smartphone market dwindle and recently axed its Kin smartphones less than two months after they went on sale. So Windows Phone 7 is key for the software giant.
A lot of a phone's appeal comes from the hardware, and that's not what was being tested. But with smartphones, the operating system can be just as crucial.

Brand60's Nissan Sileighty
Nissan Sileighty (シルエイティ is a 180SX with a Nissan Silvia's headlights, front fenders, hood, and front bumper installed, hence the 'Sil' in front and the 'eighty' rear. Sileighty (also written as "Sil80") originated through early street racers in Japan who owned Nissan 180SXs with damaged front ends. Because the front panels and the Silvia headlights were lighter and cheaper than 180sx replacement parts, many drifters used these parts. Unknown to the public before the release date, these end-user modifications inspired the Japanese auto shop "Kids Heart" to produce a small number of official Nissan Sileighties, together with Nissan. After that, the cars were sent for sale to Nissan stores, and Kids Heart. It's on record that 400 cars were made by this store, and were only sold in 1998 and, in fact, kouki (late model) 180sx was a Type-x tuned for drifting, the car is different from its home-built brothers by the characteristic "Sileighty" name on the back dressplate and panes. In the Sileighty includes oriented modifications such as a new ECU, stiffer suspension, improved differential, and increased turbocharger impetus from 7 psi (0.5 bar), about 13 psi (0.9 bar), approximately 230 hp (172 kW), versus 205 from the standard Silvia SR20DET or 180sx was 175 hp (130 kW) CA18DET. Oddly enough, a left-hand drive 180sx was sold in Micronesia and the South Pacific Ocean and were built with a Silvia front end, although they were never badged as Sileighties, just 180SXs.
It has become common for owners of the S13 240SX, the North American version of the Nissan S platform, to make their own Sileighties by importing a Silvia front end and installing it onto a 240SX fastback. When done to a S13 240SX notchback or convertible (both of which are based on the regular Silvia, not the 180SX) Another variation is sometimes called the Onevia, which consists of 180SX parts on the front and the rear end of an S13 Silvia. Nissan sold similar configurations in the US as the S13 240SX (notchback) coupe and convertible models.
While technically a 'Sil80', the combination of the 180SX body with an S15 Silvia front end can be referred to as an 'S13.5' for clarity, the '.5' denoting the front end conversion, similarly an S14 front end would be '.4' (Or '4a' for an S14a front) and an S13 front end would be '.3'. This naming scheme can be referred to for all models S13-S15, e.g. S13.5, S14.5 Occasionally the S15 front end conversion is referred to as the 'strawberry face conversion' due to the Japanese words for 1 and 5 which are ichi and go and when put together (ichigo) they make the word 'strawberry', hence Nissan S platform vehicles with the S15 front end conversion occasionally being referred to as strawberry faces.

I really like the color palette of the movie.
More photos here: http://www.filmofilia.com/moonrise-kingdom-photos-97885/
Wes Anderson and Edward Norton was interviewed about the movie by Entertainment Weekly. Anderson on the inspiration behind the movie:
"There's two movies that I really love that were both kind of huge inspirations for Moonrise Kingdom," says Anderson. "One is a movie called Black Jack that's directed by Ken Loach. The other one is another British movie that's the first thing Alan Parker ever did. He wrote the script. It's called Melody.
Norton on his character:
"Actually, my character in the film is not dissimilar from the way Wes directs a film," says Norton, who plays an earnest, let's-do-it! optimist of a troop leader. "[My character] doesn't have a shred of cynicism about him. He's a real believer. It was probably the easiest gig I ever had, because all I had to do was turn to Wes and say, 'How would you say this line?' Then I would just imitate it. He's a great person to work for and with. He's really a lot of fun."

The PRS Silver Sky is the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. More than two and a half years in the making, the Silver Sky is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once familiar but also newly PRS through and through. This model was based off of Mayer and Smith's favorite elements from 1963 and 1964 vintage instruments, resulting in an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar. The attention that was paid to every detail sets this guitar apart.
Some of the more distinctive specifications include, the headstock shape, tuners, neck and fretboard, bridge, and pickups and electronics. The headstock shape is based on PRS's trademark design, but inverted to both accommodate Mayer's playing style and also to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which makes staying in tune easier. The tuners are a traditional vintage-style, closed-back tuner, but with PRS's locking design.
The neck shape was modeled after 1963/1964 vintage instruments, and the fretboard has a 7.25" radius. The moment your hand grabs this neck, it just feels right. Like the tuners, the steel tremolo takes a classic design and incorporates PRS's trem arm and Gen III knife-edge screws. The bridge on the Silver Sky is setup flush to the body in the neutral position so that the tremolo bridge only goes down in pitch. By keeping the bridge in contact with the body, the guitar itself is acoustically louder, which improves the signal to noise ratio of the single-coil pickups. The 635JM single-coil pickups are very round and full, with a musical high end that is never "ice-picky" or brash.
Other high-quality specifications include a bone nut, a molded metal jack plate that is curved and makes plugging and unplugging a guitar cable hassle-free, retooled knobs, fretwire that is slightly smaller than what you'd find on most PRS electric guitars, and PRS's double action truss rod (accessible from the front of the headstock for ease of use). PRS premium gig bag included.
"It's been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like." – John Mayer

Contributor post by Megha of byTheArtBug
Summer is one of my favorite seasons – the outdoors, light clothes, the beach, florals, vacations and what not!
A season full of fun and adventures.
Here are some lovely Summer Fashion options:
Collectique describes them as, "Casual and elegant look, a vintage cream colored paper hat and white sun hat. Charming worn with the rims down or up. Nice versatile elegant shapes."
Natasha from bythecrochetbug says, "This vest is made with Irish crochet technique which is a very old art of crocheting.Here motifs are made first which are then joined together with delicate crochet mesh.These pieces are very light and lacy perfect for summer. Irish crochet is a method which produces very delicate and beautiful fabric which lasts almost forever. As any damaged motif can be simply be removed and replaced. No two Irish crochet pieces are the same."
Sue from Greenbriarcreations says, "This little girls pinafore was one of the original items when I started my shop two years ago. The front features a really cute flower basket dress scarf. The rest of the shirt is a cool cotton gingham in Dorothy Gale blue! Perfect for summer!"
Susan from SSFDesigns says, "I had so much fun playing with fabrics to come up with the perfect ones for this summer dress. It was one of the first dresses that I designed so I will always love it."
Mow from MONIBU says, "We live in a world where image and outer beauty is more important than inner beauty. This collection is a tribute to all women that we don't have a body 10 but we are great people."
Amy from BeadsandThreadsbyAmy Says, "I purchased this pattern to create a small bag for my niece's birthday. I filled it with all sorts of "girly" things- lip gloss, fingernail polish, lotion. It turned out so well that I decided to create them for gifts for my teacher's aides and friends. Depending on the length strap you choose, they are perfect for a variety of uses- passports and boarding passes while traveling, a small purse for the bare necessities, a make-up bag, a camera bag, etc. I have quite the stash of fabrics, and they are totally customizable (and personalized at no extra charge)."
NoveltyandThings says," I am a sucker for things vintage especially vintage fashion and houseware. As for vintage fashion prints and bright colors are among my favorite picks. These remind me of my summer beach vacations airy and care free."
ChickenJungle says, "I've always liked to make patchwork using small bits of fabric, incorporating things like sequins, buttons, beads, vintage lace…the possibilities are endless. Blue denim and sequins are an irresistible combination. I made this patchwork bag using blue denim jeans as the body, and for the front pocket I made this quilted patchwork Greek wave in watery blue. The sequins on the front and around the straps make it glitter like water in sunlight. When I made this, I envisioned a swimming pool I had seen long ago – a pool with this wave pattern in a blue tile mosaic around the rim. I also thought of ocean waves and the beach."
Rose from Rosepetalsjewelry says, "I found these white jade beads at a street market in Turkey. I love white as a background and knew I would be flooded with ideas for them. This is just one of the many pieces I've made with them."
Have a lovely Summer Everyone!

As therapists, counselors and coaches we are always helping others with their transformation and their goals to become a better them… but do you stop to help yourself be a better you?
I recently had a day where I almost cancelled my self-care morning because "I didn't have time"…the struggle was real, I had projects due and was up against a time-crunch… BUT eventually I kicked myself in the pants and did it anyways. Giving myself full permission to show up for myself…which I know allows me to show up for my clients and my business in such a bigger way always.
Time is usually the number one factor in people not taking time for themselves, something always pops up… either with your business, family, or friends, that you feel should take priority over your own personal plans- so you cancel your time for YOU, and you show up for others instead. Sound familiar?
Here's the thing though… Self-care time though NEEDS to take priority! I know, easier said than done…RIGHT? But what I recommend is, schedule your "me" time into your calendar, just like you would a client appointment. This way you have already scheduled the time and it won't be overlooked or missed, guaranteeing that you won't book something else instead. And then KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENT with yourself rather than bumping it in favour of someone else's needs.
Why is self-care so important? Especially for those in the service-based field, a huge factor is burnout. Often, we are more invested in other people's well-being than our own. When we're naturally inclined to take care of others, we often fail to notice when we're not looking after ourselves properly.
If you're frequently feeling stressed or anxious, low on energy, easily irritated, or you're generally not happy, this may be a sign that you're neglecting your physical and emotional health and that you need to take action.
Think about it, if you are stressed, have low energy, or are unhappy… are you really helping your client the best that you can? The answer is probably NO. If you are starting to feel burned-out, your client indirectly will feel it too. It's an energy that you unknowing project, it isn't only felt by you, but by the people around you. When you are relaxed, balanced and feeling great, you can give your client and everyone around you the best possible you. Which is honestly what the client is wanting… and really don't you want to be the best possible you too.
Now you're probably thinking, "Ok, so I need some self-care time… but what do I do?"
Well, do what you LOVE! Exercise, read a book, go on a hike or walk, spend time with friends. (I personally feel my best when spending time in nature hiking, walking, running …or drinking coffee.)
Taking time for self-care is not just about nourishing your body or doing what you are told you "should do", it is nourishing your soul too.
I know when I go on a hike in the morning, I feel rejuvenated after which makes me more creative and passionate for my day.
So, what do you do that makes you feel amazing and gives you the self-care you need? Tell me in the comments below…you never know, something one person is doing may also interest you too.

Melbourne GLBTI radio station JOY94.9 has announced its reshuffled drive-time line-up, keeping it safe with some tried-and-true presenters.
The station will host five new drive shows from 3pm to 6pm Monday to Friday, filling the gap left by The Campervan which finished suddenly in February after two years, due to cost constraints.
JOY broadcast manager Nigel Slater told Southern Star he thinks listeners will adjust to the varied schedule.
"I think so. That's what we do with breakfast. There's a lot in there with the different presenters, so I think listeners will really enjoy it."
Southern Star recently received letters bemoaning the lack of music played on the station during the day, criticising presenters for too much "boring" talk.
Slater said the issue of getting more music back on air was addressed last month with the return of formatted music programing from 6am to 7pm weekdays.
"I would encourage those who might not have listened in to JOY lately to tune in and listen a bit more objectively," he said.
"We've got music running again … and the formatting means there's no double-up tracks if one presenter happens to love Lady Gaga, for example, and it's already be played three times."
JOY general manager Dane Gibson said, in a recent members email, the station will play at least 35 percent Australian and New Zealand content and at least 10 percent of content from openly queer artists.
Now in the mix, newcomers Trev, Sparky and Neets have taken over Monday afternoons; Trace and Jase fill the Tuesday slot, moving from '80s music program Fluro; Wednesday listeners will be treated to The Royal Daltons with former Campervan presenter Glen Dalton and the entertaining Michael Dalton; Katie and Nat will move from their Friday night Theme Party show to hit the mics on Thursday; and long-time JOY presenters Sue Wilkinson and David Hunt will take listeners home for the weekend on Friday nights.
Slater said the new drive programs will also feature regular news bulletins, weather, traffic updates and "upbeat" JOY music selections.

Listen to this post
The candidates will participate in a public forum today at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium hosted by Meeker High School Student Council and National Honor Society students. Mailed ballot voting begins this week and concludes on Election Day, Nov. 3.
Features on the three candidates who are running for the two-year term will publish next week. They are Richard Brooks, incumbent Mindy Burke and Davey Smith.
Scott Aldridge: I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a bachelor's degree in both Earth science and journalism and mass communication. I have worked here on the Western Slope since 2010 in the oil and gas industry, in television, construction and taught mathematics at Meeker High School. I am an Eagle Scout and avid outdoorsman, and I am actively involved with my church. I married a Meeker girl who had escaped to the big city and with some coaxing convinced her this is where we want to raise our two kids (ages 1 and 3).
Tom Allen: I grew up in Meeker and attended Meeker schools. I was graduated from Western Colorado State University with BA in instrumental music education. Taught in Paonia two years and then in Meeker for 26. I have had three children and two stepchildren attend Meeker schools. I retired from teaching in 2005 and now operate Allen Weed Spraying.
Kevin Amack: I am 50 years old. I have lived in Meeker for the past 19 years. I have been married to Georgann Amack for 25 years. We have two daughters in the Meeker school system. I have been an agent for State Farm insurance serving both Meeker and in Rangely since 1996. I was born and raised in Oberlin, Kan. I received a bachelor's degree in business-finance from Fort Hays State University in 1988.
Kurt Blunt: I've lived in Meeker since 2001. I hold BS and MS degrees in range resource management and animal and range science from Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont. I have been employed by Colowyo Coal Company for the past 14 years and currently serve as an environmental engineer. My wife Hallie and I have been married for 11 years. We have three boys—one in fifth grade, one in third and a 3 year old.
Bob Dorsett: I am a fourth generation Colorado native who grew up in a family of educators. I trained in science and medicine at Stanford University and passed along a tradition of academic excellence over 35 years teaching science and math at college level and high school. My wife, Carol, has provided enormous service to health care in this community. Her children, Blake and Becca, and their families have contributed significantly to our schools and to other important community projects. They all provide continuing inspiration. I first came to Meeker in 1981 as a family practice physician providing general medicine and surgery, and I gained business experience supervising a private medical practice here. My administrative background includes service as director of the Natural Science Program at Providence College. Other leadership experience comes from the National Outdoor Leadership School and I have led many expeditions in mountains, on rivers, and on research projects in the Colorado Rockies and overseas.
George Henderson: My family and I have lived in Meeker for the past seven years. My wife and I have both previously worked for the Meeker School District—I as the Meeker High School principal, and my wife, Kristen, as a fifth grade teacher at the elementary school. My wife and I are both currently teaching for the Garfield RE-2 School District in Rifle. We have four sons: JC, Jake, Jared and Justin. I hold a bachelor's degree in middle school education from the University of Northern Colorado, a master's degree in secondary mathematics from Adams State University, and a principal certification from the University of Northern Colorado.
1) What do you offer as a candidate that should make voters choose you?
Aldridge: I bring the unique background of having worked in the business world as well as in the Meeker School District. I've seen first hand what a wonderful opportunity we have being in a small district with such a tight-knit community, and some of the challenges that it poses for the district, but also for families and businesses. I've developed a love for learning and teaching and want to help our students do the same so that they can be competitive in today's job market. Because the more they know, the more they are worth and the more they can do to help others reach their potential.
Allen: I believe that, having attended Meeker schools and subsequently taught here for many years, I have a unique perspective on our school district. I currently have grandchildren in the system and care a great deal about the young folks in our community.
Amack: I have successfully owned and managed a small business in Meeker/Rangely for the past 19 years. I am responsible for managing employees and meeting a payroll. I pay commercial real estate taxes, and I understand the extra property tax burden that state law puts upon commercial real estate owners. I have held leadership positions within my church and within the local Masonic Lodge for most of the past 19 years. I have two active and involved daughters in our schools. I have been a "Support Our Students" volunteer at both the elementary and middle school.
Blunt: I hope that people who know me personally would say that I am a pretty level headed and fair-minded person. I don't have a particular agenda that I'm trying to promote, other than to support and encourage what is in the best interests of the children who attend our schools. I also have direct experience and an understanding of the challenges facing our teachers, students and administrators as I am a member of the current board.
Dorsett: I have a broad range of experience and leadership, and I appreciate, particularly, the enormous challenges faced by classroom teachers and by students who need extra help. In all my endeavors I have found the courage to ask questions, to try to obtain accurate information and understanding. I solve problems based on the best available evidence, informed by my training in science and my experience in the classroom. I bring a willingness to listen to all viewpoints and to test ideas by vigorous and open debate.
Henderson: I have been in public education for more than 25 years. Both as a teacher and as the principal at Meeker High School, from 2008 through 2012, I have always and will continue to make all my decisions based on doing what is best for the student.
2) How would you ensure our Meeker students are adequately prepared to pursue their post-secondary education choices or work force options? How should we measure the quality of K-12 education in our Meeker schools?
Aldridge: I think the best way to prepare students to pursue post-secondary or workforce options is by getting them to start experiencing it first-hand long before they are ready to graduate. We do this in two ways: first by the way they are taught in class from elementary school on and second by the opportunities they have to work, participate in a work study, and to attend universities and other work-related events. We need to help encourage our teachers to make classes as real life applicable as possible. To me the best indication of the quality of education the students are receiving doesn't come from a test (though tests do have their place). It's more about how much the kids love learning and how excited they are about school. Tests give us numbers we can measure and will be a major determining factor in which schools they can get into, but should never be used alone to determine what quality of education they are receiving.
Allen: A school board member can ensure a quality education by seeing that the highest quality teachers and administrators are hired and then supporting them to the best of his ability. This can be accomplished by making sure that district policies are in line with best practice teaching and administration techniques. Also a board must do their best to provide the best possible resources for their employees.
Amack: The Meeker RE1 school board is a seven member board. I do not believe that any one member can "ensure" anything other than committing to thoroughly educate themselves on the issues at hand, seek out well-diversified community input and advocate for the best use of all available resources. The bottom line needs to be that our district strives for excellence at all levels and delivers the best possible educational experience that available resources allow. Like it or not, college admissions and scholarships are heavily based on the ACT (American College Testing). We need to be preparing our college-bound kids for success on the ACT.
Blunt: I am committed to working with the other members of the board to support and promote hiring and retaining the very best people we can. We have to do everything in our power to secure alternate sources of funding, because the current system is a bad story only getting worse as we look forward. We've got to maximize the amount of funding coming from our local community in order to minimize the impact of decisions made at the state level. We've asked the staff to do more with less for a painfully long time. Programs and class offerings will continue to diminish if we can't find a long-term solution to our funding challenges.
The current system of measuring the success or failure of schools is comprised of a multitude of mandatory tests that kids take from elementary school through high school. The mix of tests and their perceived importance changes constantly, with the exception of the ACT perhaps. It's pretty difficult to hit a constantly moving target. I think the most practical measure of a school system is the quality of the folks who walk out the door into the world. From my direct personal experience, I feel Meeker has an advantage over some other places due to the fact that the quality of the character of our kids is high. How many 14-18 year old men and women do you know who will take time out of their day to be kind to the younger kids? I'm proud to say I know a lot of them around here. Testing will continue to be the official mechanism we have to use to measure our success. Additional emphasis on test taking and test preparation is time well spent and is being implemented currently.
Dorsett: The role of public education is to produce an informed citizenry capable of making sound decisions in a democracy and to provide them with the skills to pursue their individual happiness. We can best fulfill that mission by providing a wide range of opportunities for our students, so they can explore many realms of knowledge and try out many different skills under expert mentorship. I think the Meeker School District has done a good job offering a range of opportunities, for example preserving art, music, family sciences and vocational programs in difficult fiscal times. On the down side, the district has cut computer programming and instruction in digital technology. In order to give our students opportunities in the digital economy, and, more importantly, foster critical thinking skills, we should re-establish those course offerings and expand them to include, e.g., 3D printing, computer assisted design and production and lab-based introduction to biotechnology.
How to measure the quality of education? Certainly not by arbitrary, high-stakes standardized tests narrowly focused on a limited skill set. The best measure of success is life outcome: Are we serving the needs of all our students? How do our graduates fare when they are out in the world? Do they succeed in work, family, community, and creative pursuits? Are they satisfied that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue their dreams?
Henderson: I would not accept second best. I would want our district to pursue the best educators possible, not wait to see who comes knocking on our door. Once we have those educators, then retain them by supporting them both in and out of the classroom. Public opinions should be used to evaluate the quality of K-12 education. It is hard to evaluate from within. As a school board member, I will look and listen to the people, not sit in an ivory tower and be fed what the administration wants me to hear, as some of our current school board members do now.
3) Should there be a better effort to balance student experience between athletics and academics?
Aldridge: To me, giving the students the opportunity to lead a well-rounded life is important. Whether it be through sports or other extracurricular activities, I think it is important for kids to have other experiences that give them a chance to grow. But I believe that it should be up to the child and their family to decide where the right balance is for them. It's our job to provide them with opportunities.
Allen: Athletics (and other student activities) work hand in hand to educate the "whole student." I believe that these activities enhance and complete the educational experience for most students. However, there are those students who, for one reason or another, are unable or uninterested in participating in co-curricular and extracurricular activities. A school district should honor these students and support them just as vigorously as the athletes and other participants. I believe our district does this for the most part.
Amack: The recent (and unfortunately necessary) district budget cuts have eliminated funding for numerous non-core programs. It is important to keep in mind that the non-athletically inclined kids need places to plug in, fit in and excel. As budget resources permit, I will advocate for maintaining and restoring more diversified academic and activity opportunities.
Blunt: Ultimately, the choice of balancing extra-curricular participation and classroom instruction is best made by individual students and their parents. Our kids are involved in a lot of things that are not purely academically related that provide invaluable lessons not available in the classroom. Our mission as the school board should be to make sure we do everything we can to provide as many academic and extracurricular opportunities as possible to allow our students the chance to explore their interests and develop skills that will serve them well in the future. It's two sides of the same coin.
Dorsett: The Meeker Schools provide an extraordinary variety of extracurricular opportunities for our students, including clubs, sports and service organizations. Sports provide essential skills, exercise and fun. They provide an extra incentive for students to stay in school and maintain their grades. And sporting events provide a valuable opportunity for community gathering and a source of community pride. However, an objective outside observer might argue that we've got the cart before the horse. The demands of extracurricular activities have reached a level that take too much time away from academics and impose excessive costs on the district. The district needs to restore a balance.
Henderson: Yes! We should always strive to enrich our students' lives and experiences to the fullest, whether it is in academics, music, the arts or athletics.
4) As a school board member, what does "accountability" mean and how would you live up to it?
Aldridge: To me accountability means sticking to your principles and not abandoning them when things get hard or messy. We do this by being willing to listen to anyone, take criticism, and then with a smile on your face, see if there is something we can do about it. I think reaching out to the community and encouraging them to be involved and providing their feedback is the best way to keep the board accountable.
Allen: A school board member is accountable to the students and parents of the district to provide the very best education within his means. Accountability means being held to the oath of one's office. It means doing to very best you can for the students of our community. I try to live up to it by being prepared for each and every meeting and knowing what I need to know to contribute to the discussions and decisions that the board has to make. Transparency to the public is also a very important quality for a school board and it is always a part of my actions and decisions.
Amack: Accountability, to me, means doing what one committed to do, in a timely and professional manner, while keeping an open mind and always striving to increase pertinent knowledge and discernment. Accountability is a character trait. I have lived and worked in our community for 19 years. The voters can make their own assessment of my accountability.
Blunt: I think there is a personal component and a collective component to accountability. As an individual, you are asked to make personal judgments based on the rule of law and what is best for kids within your own philosophical framework. For me, those are easy to be accountable for, and I'm happy to talk to anyone about the issues I can legally talk about. More difficult is to be accountable for the collective decisions the board makes as an entity. There is not always universal agreement on issues that arise, and that should be expected. As long as I can say at the end of the day that I have advocated for what I believe is best for all of our kids I can sleep at night. Part of the collective accountability side of the issue is that it isn't fair to disparage a decision of the board publicly if the majority of the board does not agree with your position.
Dorsett: There are many levels of accountability. Parents are accountable to their children, to provide a safe and nurturing environment that encourages learning. Teachers are accountable to students and their parents, to provide exciting and meaningful opportunities to learn new skills. Principals are accountable to their teachers to provide the facilities, equipment and mentorship for effective instruction. The superintendent is accountable to principals and district staff to provide the resources and support necessary for them to perform their jobs. The board is accountable to the community to provide oversight, direction and clear communication regarding the state of education. Finally, full circle, the community is responsible for providing a safe, stimulating and happy environment with necessary resources for the education of all of its children.
Henderson: Accountability means to have that tough conversation when it needs to take place. Go the extra mile when it means a better educational opportunity for Meeker students. I will have that tough conversation, and I will go that extra mile. An example of my going the extra mile would be when I led the board recall effort. We ran the recall effort because the majority of the board would not hold administrators accountable for not acting in the best interest of students. The majority of the school board allowed our students to be exposed to a principal who lied to get her job, then even renewed her contract. That renewal resulted in the firing of the high school secretaries within the next few days. The school board allowed that same principal the freedom to make our top students make "the walk of shame" to hold advanced placement and CNCC classes in a non-used middle school art room while the taxpayer-enhanced science classroom at the high school sat idle. Where was the superintendent for all of this one might ask? Doing nothing! And how was he held accountable? By our current board's majority decision to hire him back to the Meeker School District to a job that he created. Had I been on the board at the time of all of these atrocities, I would have done everything in my power to change the vote of the board.
5) If elected, what will be your priorities as a school board member? Why?
Aldridge: I think the most important thing we will have to do as a board over the next several years is to figure out how to keep the quality of the education we are providing as high as we can, while preparing to deal with the reality that we are not likely to get additional funding from the state or from a mill levy override. As hard as we may try in those areas, we need to prepare for more shortfalls. We also need to take care of our teachers so that they will want to stay and give them the professional development they need so that they can continue to become better teachers that can light a love for learning in more students. Teaching our kids to love learning will be more important to the quality of education they receive than any other factor because when they want to learn they will take accountability for their education.
Allen: My priorities will be the same as they have always been as a board member. That is to support and empower the employees of the district to the best of my ability. And to see that they have everything they need to do their jobs. Also, I am an elected representative of the citizens of Meeker School District and as such am answerable to them to provide solutions to their educational issues. It has been an honor to serve on this board for the past year and a half. I feel we have improved the educational opportunities for our students tremendously during that time and I look forward to seeing those improvements through to fruition.
Amack: Promote excellent communication both within the district and between the district and the community; Advocate for a level of school funding that helps us deliver educational excellence to our students; Advocate for hiring and retaining the best possible teachers and administrators that our resources allow; Advocate for honest discernment and discussion of district weaknesses and participate in corrective decisions when appropriate; and Educate myself in order to increase my wisdom and discernment in all things pertinent to the district. Those are the things that are within my control and that I believe will make a positive difference.
Blunt: If elected I hope that I continue to make well-informed decisions based on the best information available, that are in the best interests of the children of our community. Beyond making good decisions, I/we have to continue to find avenues to support our lagging school funding situation. Without adequate funding, we are going to be focusing on what not to cut rather than what we can hope to improve. I'd like to continue to support our efforts to be as transparent as possible with the public regarding controversial issues and to make sure our policies and expectations of the staff, administrators and the kids are in line with our overall goal of providing the best education we can with the resources we have. These past four years on the board have taught me that this is challenging but very worthy and necessary work. Best of luck to all the candidates, and thank you for volunteering your time to be part of this process.
Dorsett: My priorities will be to attract, retain and reward excellent teachers, to restore respect and authority to our teachers and staff, guarantee open and vigorous debate of issues in education, re-establish the democratic process in our schools, establish consistent policy guidelines and stability in administration and identify sources of revenue to fund our schools properly. The most valuable resource in the school district is staff experience, and the key to good decisions is open discussion based on accurate information.
Henderson: If elected, it will be my number one priority to hold the superintendent accountable for his actions and non-actions. The superintendent is the direct employee of the school board, and therefore should be held accountable by that board. Second, I will listen to the public, and use sound student-based judgment when making all decisions. Finally, I will take great pride in serving the public as a Meeker School Board director.
