I attended public school in Hamblen County and graduated from Morristown East in 2002. For my undergraduate degree, I attended Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. I earned my Bachelor's in Women's Studies and Education before entering graduate school at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky. In 2007, I earned my Master's in Teaching Elementary. I then returned to Tennessee and began post graduate study in Special Education at the University of Tennessee.
My education experience began in Lexington, Kentucky at Kentucky Refugee Ministries. I planned and implemented a summer education program for refugee children relocated to Lexington. The primary purpose of the program was to prepare the children for formal schooling as many had grown up in refugee camps and had never had the privilege of formal schooling. During the school year, I ran an after school program for the children and visited them during the school day.
In 2008, I moved back to Tennessee and began teaching Special Education at East Ridge Middle School. This is my first year at Morristown West.
My swim coaching experience started at the Morristown Boys and Girls club where I began as an assistant coach in 2002. I became Head Coach in 2008 and have seen the team grow and improve immensely. I coached at Morristown West during the 2010-2011 season during which I had my son. I returned to the team in 2013 and look forward to many more successful seasons.
I have one son, Desmond, and two large dogs, Beaux and Belle. I enjoy swimming, running, and riding my bike. I began competing in triathlons in 2011 and spend much of my spare time preparing for one race or another. I also love to read and am a huge Harry Potter fan.

The term Business Intelligence is attributed to IBM researcher Hans Peter Luhn, who first used it in 1958 in his paper entitled, "A Business Intelligence System", which described it as an "automatic method to provide current awareness services to scientists and engineers" who needed help to cope with the rapid post-war growth of scientific and technical literature. The term today, represents an industry that has journeyed through many systems and concepts over the last half a century as it has tried to keep up with the data analysis and decision-making needs of end users. However this is not how it all began.
As a result of the consumerism and economic boom of the 60's there was a need to manage the exponentially increased flow of information. Filing cabinets and monthly reports, were the earliest forms of databases, their primary purpose being record keeping for inventory and customer management. After a point, this no doubt became obsolete and attempts were made to resolve redundancies. Initial computing capabilities were intended to automate data entry and didn't have anything to do with what data visualization means today. A state of the art database management system (DBMS) of the 60s enabled a "manual" navigation on a data set that lived in a hard disk or a floppy disk.
In 1970 Edgar Codd of IBM, outlined a new system for storing and working with large databases in the form of "tables". Uses of this tabular data were still limited to data entry, and data storage in the realms of customer information, inventory and sales. Also remember, at this time, data was fragmented and only available one subset at a time. This one-dimensional information didn't allow for data visualization and had no contextual relation to anything else. Attempts to refine on this silo data representation set the stage for technical leaps into integrated data warehousing that allowed for data reporting, storage and use across different areas of business.

Pop open the bubbly! Women are taking over the wine cellar! At least, according to the sages of the industry, the Institute of Masters of Wine, they are. Only 295 living souls (91 of them female) are entitled to add the prestigious letters MW to their name. Yet of the 302 candidates who put themselves through the institute's fiendish blind-tasting and essay examinations last week, 171 were women and 131 men, suggesting that, pass rate permitting, men may soon find themselves outnumbered in wine's most exclusive club.
But hang on a minute. Stay those corks. I think the institute might be showing itself up as being a touch anachronistic; women were forging a trail in wine long before it cottoned on to the trend.
Consider the pioneering work of Veuve Clicquot in Champagne in the 19th century or, in the present day, Jancis Robinson. Her scholarship, shrewdness and clarity of thought have led the wine world by the nose for decades now. Last autumn she told me how she swotted up for the MW in the Douro while pregnant with her first child, filming a series on wine for the BBC and cramming for the exam (reading French textbooks) between takes. She's hard to beat.
And yet. It's true that something quite special is afoot in the world of wine right now – and that women are very much a part of it. What's going on? Wine is undergoing a renaissance. It is casting aside not just the stuffiness of the aristocratic cellar but also the mass-produced mediocrity of the worst bottles on the supermarket shelf.
There's a new joy, a dynamic energy spreading from bar to shelf to table to blog to festival, and a lot of that life force is coming from women. Wine's fresh female voices are participating in a revolution that is democratising wine still further, like a very trendy outreach programme.
One of the first was Julia Stafford. It was her crazy plan to open the Wine Pantry, a teeny-tiny wine shop and bar in foodie-friendly Borough Market in London, selling only English wine. Nice idea, but it'll never work, said the old hands. A few months later, Julia had crowds of people paying to sit outside in thick winter coats in sub-zero temperatures having their first sips of Breaky Bottom and Gusbourne Estate sparkling wines.
Wine, it seems, is coming out of the gentlemen's clubs and on to the streets. Specifically, on last Sunday afternoon, the streets of London's King's Cross, where hundreds of people were flocking to Wine Car Boot, a "pop-up" initiated by Ruth Spivey. She had the brilliant idea of asking people to come along and "taste their way out of the supermarket" by sampling wines from independent shops. In a car park. And it appealed, specifically, to women – they bought about two thirds of the tickets, according to Spivey, though, as she points out, perhaps they're just more organised than the guys.
The change has come to restaurants, too – if the stereotypical sommelier of times gone by was French and snooty, now he's just as likely to be a she, and running a small bar, opening a specialist online wine shop, or hosting tasting events in your home on the side.
It's also reflected in the way we write and talk about wine. Ten years ago, when I first began a newspaper wine column, quite a few people remarked (not always flatteringly) on its idiosyncratic style. Now I'm far from being alone: from the Knackered Mothers' Wine Club (no surprises who that's aimed at) to the fine wines of Juel Mahoney's Wine, Woman & Song blog, snooty they aren't.
So yes, the wine world is full of women – and men – who are innovating and influencing the way we drink. But why be surprised about it? Did anyone ever expect anything less?

Looking for an easy pumpkin first course perfect for fall and Thanksgiving? Try this tasty risotto with sage and cheese served in hollowed-out pumpkin
- Rice 280 g, for risotto
- Yellow pumpkin 625 g, the flesh
- Onion 1
- Butter 1 tbsp
- Vegetable stock 3 1/4 cups, canned
- Parmesan 55 g, grated
- Salt to taste

Info box
- Preparation time
- Cooking time
- Recipe category First course
- Recipe yield 4
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Scoop the flesh out of the pumpkin, remove the seeds and finely dice the flesh. Wrap in aluminum foil and cook in the oven at 180°C degrees for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion and saute gently using 1 tablespoon butter. Add the rice and saute gently until translucent. Then gradually add the vegetable stock, stirring frequently. The rice should be cooked when it has taken up all the stock (about 30 minutes cooking time).
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time carefully stir in the diced pumpkin. Before serving mix in the rest of the butter and the Parmesan cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
If you wish, serve the risotto in the hollowed-out pumpkin and garnish with sage leaves. You may want to heat the hollowed-out pumpkin before serving. If so, place halved pumpkin shells upside down on greased baking sheet. Bake at 120°C for 15 minutes until warmed through.

Or check out this list of 40 'non-candy' Valentine ideas from Jolly Mom!
When I saw this: "You o'FISH'ally have my heart!" Valentine pin ...I knew I could recreate it to my own style preference - using my FAV photo editing site: PicMonkey!
I wanted an actual "Nemo" image, instead of just a fish...since I figured the kids would recognize it & may enjoy that more...who doesn't love Finding Nemo?! It's one of my favs. I also wanted a red/white chevron print instead of just stripes for the background.
Though I didn't size them right width-wise, as they are a bit short on the sides to accommodate the length of the snack zip-lock baggie, but I'm sure the kiddos won't care one bit... I think they turned out pretty awesome!!
These are just too cute!!
K helped pour in equal measured amounts of gold fishies (a whole large, 33oz. box was just enough to fill 24 snack bags with 1/2 cup of goldfish each...phew, just barely made it!). She also helped staple them to the bags with mamma's assistance of course!
Though since Valentine's is primarily a 'sweet' holiday, and I love baking... I'll still send her to school with some yummy cookies to share (1 each!)...that'll be in the next post ;-)

The auspicious occasion of Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri or more commonly known as the Hari Raya Pausa Singapore is celebrated to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan with great grandeur and glory. It is incumbent upon all free, healthy, sane adult Muslims to fast within the month of Ramadan from dawn to dusk, and the successful completion of these thirty days is indeed something to rejoice about.
Ramadan is a month of spirituality and piousness, which is devoted whole-heartedly to almsgiving acts and complete submission to the will of Allah. It entails abstinence from food, water and to exercise self-control in all walks of life and to prioritize their inner spirituality and struggle towards being a better Muslim.
Hari Raya Puasa Singapore
This propitious occasion evokes the true spirit of Malay culture and heritage. Residents and tourists alike celebrate with utmost vigour and sanctity. The sighting of the moon marks the beginning of Syawal and signals the upcoming festival of Hari Raya Pausa in Singapore, also known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
There is usually one pubic holiday for the celebration of Hari Raya Puasa in Singapore. People welcome this event in Singapore with the utmost respect and preparations are made from almost a month before this occasion, including new attire, accessories and mouthwatering delicacies.
Traditional Hari Raya Food
Indeed, traditional dishes are the delight and are the highlight of Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri as it redefines the unique taste of Malay delicacies, with traditional names.
- 'Ketupat'- wrapped in coconut leaves are compressed rice cakes.
- 'Rendang'- a savouring mix of chilli paste, grounded coconut, coconut milk and spices, amalgamating into a truly aromatic dish.
- 'Kuih Raya'-Colourfully decorated traditional cookies of varying taste and flavours, presented to guests on this festive occasion.
- 'Keuh Keuh'-The typical Malay cakes and pastries.
A special tailor made attire is worn on the festive occasion of Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Singapore, a fine traditional piece of clothing. Women adore themselves with bright and vividly coloured 'Baju Kurung', often worn with a complimentary headscarf ('tudung'). These outfits are certainly the cynosure of all eyes on this festive occasion. Whereas the men traditional wear is called as 'Baju Melayu'.
You will find traditional Malay attire in the area of Kampong Glam & Arab Street. Read more about shopping in Kampong Glam & Arab Street.
The Rumah Terbuka or Open House Concept
The Hari Raya Pausa Singapore is known elsewhere as the very common festival of Eid-ul-Fitr. However, the uniqueness of this event in South East Asian countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei & Indonesia are characterized by the concept of open house. This initiative is an attempt to bring together the wide and diverse array of culture that co-exists in mutual harmony. Irrespective of any social or religious discrimination, residents and tourists alike are warmly welcomed to the forum to enjoy the good food and company and spend quality time with their friends and relatives. People will be seen greeting each other with the joyous greeting of "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri".
The day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri
The much awaited day is commenced with the people humbly requesting their relatives and friends for forgiveness and wanting to amend bitter ties and start the day on a good note. After the congregational prayers of Hari Raya Puasa at the mosque, people visit their loved one's graves before they proceed to the social gathering, to celebrate the rest of the day. Sometimes these celebrations go on for the entire month, with people utilizing this opportune moment to reunite with their loved ones and strengthen their relationship ties.
Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Wishes
There are many Selamat Hari Raya Wishes but the most common one is "Selamat Hari Raya" which means that I am sending you blessing of this great day. Hari means day in Malay & Raya means great. You can add at the end "Puasa" or "Aidilfitri" to make your appropriate wish. For example, Selamat Hari Raya Puasa or Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
Places to visit on Hari Raya Puasa
If you're a tourist and wants to experience the great festival of Hari Raya Puasa Singapore or Hari Raya Aidilfitri, then you should visit the Muslim Ethnic quarter in Singapore. The top places that you should visit during Hari Raya Puasa festival should be the area of Kampong Glam & Arab Street. You will find Hari Raya food, Malay traditional dresses, special sales promotion for Hari Raya Aidilfitri and much more in Kampong Glam.
The Arab Street and the area nearby is famous for many Middle Eastern restaurants which offer special treats for the festival of Hari Raya Puasa in Singapore. You will also get to see the famous Abdul Gaffoor Mosque, which is nearby Arab Street.

Places to visit in April and May
I love bluebells. The first time I saw them was in England, and I loved them so much that what I most wanted was to have bluebell decorations for my wedding.
These flowers come at a certain time obviously, and they bloom usually in April and May.
Now, why am I telling you about flowers, when this post is about travel?!
Well, because the list I am going to give you, is the best places to visit to see that beauty that is the bluebell flower.
It is very romantic and could totally be taken as a honeymoon, or even Valentine's day trip, if that was in the right month for it. Hehehehe
But April and May are soon coming up, and you can program yourself to have this visit, even if for Valentine's you give your partner a ticket to one of these places for April or May.
Too much blablabla, let's get to the places:
Blickling Estate, Norfolk
|Taken from: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/569775790332854525/
The best time to see the bluebells extend as a carpet here is late April to early May, one of the best paths to take is through the Great Wood.
Buckland Abbey, Devon
|Taken from: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/397301998356329154/
There are 2 miles spring walks usually at the beginning of May at the Great North Wood in the afternoon period.
Godolphin, Cornwall
|Taken from: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/283163895298964666/
Usually at the beginning of May you can join an informative walk and talk with Godolphin's gardener, and see all the varieties of bluebells there are.
Rufford Old Hall, Lancashire
|Taken from: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/190910471678908226/
The best time to visit this one is late April and early May, at the Beech Walk and the North Woods. The hall has 14 acres of gardens and woodland, in a mix of native tress and a carpet of bluebells.
Hardcastle Crags, West Yorkshire
|Taken from: https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/315392780133902843/
Best to be visited in May, as the flowers reach their peak. This is know as "Little Switzerland" for the valley sides, pathways and river between the woodland and bluebells.
Do you like Bluebells?
Would you go to these places?
Leave me a comment letting me know.

No, much uglier than the soft proof without the simulation on. The simulation should better match the print.
I cannot adjust luminance (or temperature for that matter) on my "shitty display", just brightness and contrast. One of the reasons I was thinking of upgrading.
Robert you do have to understand that there are certain differences that cannot be overcome when comparing the image on your monitor compared to your print etc etc.

"I saw gold paint dripping down the walls," she said. And later she added, "I see gold sparkles." And she motioned with her fingers like rain from heaven. I looked around and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Another time, a different teen said, "I saw gold dust falling from heaven and shooting out of the vents." (The fans that blew air in those vents were not on).
No one else reported seeing these things.
What are these seers actually seeing?
Seers see things in the Heavenly Realm
Let me back up. In my local church, I volunteer as a youth pastor. In both of these contexts, and many others I've not specifically mentioned, we were concluding a worship service, where we asked the Father to engage us as we worshipped.
And God moved. Heaven broke into earth. The Holy Spirit descended on us in a thick, heavy way. Words fail to describe what we feel when Heaven invades the Earth. It was like being under a waterfall, but without getting wet.
Some people have a hard time accepting this concept, but that is exactly how Jesus said to pray to God:
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
And the Bible concludes with Heaven descending to Earth, visibly and unstoppable.
The metaphor I use to describe what happens when we worship God is this: a portal between our realm and God's realm opens. There are numerous accounts in the Bible of a portal, window or doorway opening between Heaven and Earth, sometimes with angels ascending and descending between heaven and earth.
Certainly, Christians have open access to Heaven at all times, so perhaps the better metaphor is this: it releases the heavens to descend through the open window that already exists.
Attributes of Heaven
I think of Heaven as another dimension, where God lives. The culture of Heaven has several characteristics, including
- God is worshiped, honored, and celebrated.
- Music and art are uplifting and not degrading.
- Beautiful physical features everywhere.
- Perfect health. No pain, no depression, and no demons.
- God's Presence is everywhere.
- God's will is done.
- Everyone is celebrated. No one is put down.
- Heaven honors who we are, not who we aren't.
When physical descriptions of heaven mention gold, I doubt they mean the kind of gold referenced by our Periodic Table of Elements. But "gold" is a useful descriptor for what they see.
Gold Sparkles and Gold Dust
So when God is invited and engaged through worship of His people, Heaven may descend in some way. When Heaven descends, the attributes of Heaven invade the Earth. People are honored. People get a glimpse of how God sees them. Sickness is healed. Aspects of Heaven's atmosphere manifests. The gold sparkles and dust that some seers and sometimes non-seers notice are… well, I don't know.
My interpretation is this: Seers brains are already wired to pick up things in the spirit realm, and in this case, their brains are picking up and trying to interpret some aspect of the heavenly realm in the spirit – spiritual blessings, spiritual gifts, the presence of angels, the Breath of God, the Love of the Father, the Presence of Jesus, the Wind of the Holy Spirit… something from Heaven is invading Earth.
The brain picks up on that something in the spirit realm that is beautiful and interprets it according to its physical and chemical limitations. Whatever it literally is… it's wonderful.
Let's land on the Breath of God for a moment.
When God Breathes on Us
Think of a newborn baby in the mother's arms. A newborn has little receptors in his or her nostrils that react to CO2. The baby's eyes can only see about 12 to 18 inches away.
When a baby rests next to his or her mother's breast to feed, the mother's breath from her nose will hit the baby's nostrils. The CO2 receptors pick up the breath and triggers the baby's own breath response. Thus the baby learns to breath.
At the same time, the baby can see just far enough to gaze into the parent's eyes – the distance from the mother's eyes to a feeding or snuggling baby. The baby is also next to the mother's heart, sensing the beat, as the baby did during his or her fetal development. This aspect of feeding, breathing, heart beating all creates an unbreakable bond between infant and mother.
And when fathers bottle feed, a similar bond is created.
This is a picture of what happens when the Father engages us during worship. His Breath gives us life. His Spirit feeds our spirit. His heart beat reassures our emotions. Worship engages every aspect of our being, building intimacy with the Father.
Those who can see in the spirit realm then pick up on heavenly aspects of this intimacy and it looks golden.

The Psychology Board of Australia (the Board) provides for the protection of the public by ensuring that only psychologists who are suitably trained and qualified to practise in a competent and ethical manner are registered. The Board fulfils its role through the powers defined in the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, as in force in each state and territory (the National Law).
The Board sets the registration standards that define the requirements applicants or registrants need to meet to obtain or maintain registration. Registration standards must be approved by the Australian Health Workforce Ministerial Council (Ministerial Council) before they can take effect.
The Board must be certain that applicants meet the registration standards before granting general registration. As such, overseas-qualified applicants must demonstrate that their qualifications and supervised experience are equivalent to the qualifications and supervised practice required by the registration standard for general registration.
All Australian-trained psychologists are required to demonstrate competence in Australian ethical, legal and professional matters and working with diverse groups of people in an Australian context. These skills and knowledge are essential for safe and effective practice in the Australian context.
Therefore overseas-trained psychologists are required to demonstrate these capabilities in a practical setting under the supervision of a registered Australian psychologist who is a Board approved supervisor - 'the transitional program', and by passing the national psychology examination.
The competency areas in which overseas-trained psychologists must demonstrate knowledge and competence to practice in the Australian context are detailed in the Guidelines: transitional programs for overseas qualified applicants.
Applicants who meet all the qualification and supervised practice requirements for general registration in Australia, except for the competencies specific to the Australian context are required to do a transitional program.
This is determined by the outcome of an assessment of your qualifications completed in the assessment of an application for provisional registration - Form APOS-76.
You generally need to do a transitional program if you are assessed as having completed the equivalent of a six year sequence of education and training in Australia.
For more information about the application process, see the overseas qualified psychologists page.
Additionally, all overseas qualified applicants must sit and pass the National Psychology Examination.
On successful completion of the requirements, the applicant can apply for general registration.
The transitional program requires:
There is a searchable online list of all Board approved supervisors which may be useful for finding a suitable supervisor.
A supervision plan that is agreed between the applicant, their supervisor and their workplace that will enable the overseas applicant to demonstrate competency in ethical legal and professional matters to the standard required by an Australian entry level general psychologist. The supervision plan must include psychological practice and supervision and may also include professional development courses or activities.
You can also contact AHPRA directly via web mail enquiry or phone with specific enquiries.

*If you are reading this post through a feed reader, facebook, or by stumbling across it, the blog hop actually starts here.
I am a huge supporter of our troops because I understand the sacrifice they are making. My father was in the army when I was younger. In fact, I was born in Germany. Mom was blessed to be with him while he was stationed there. Other times, though, we were forced to be apart. Us back home and him overseas. I have two sisters, and we are all close in age, so I can't imagine how hard it was for Mom to go to the grocery store with a toddler and two babies.
So, thank you to all the troops (and their loved ones) who sacrifice time with family to guarantee my freedom. And, many prayers to those who have lost loved ones.
Now onto the card!
- Stamp a background onto red cardstock. I love the look of tone-on-tone stamping for a subtle background. It really makes the card look great without distracting from the other elements. Papertrey Ink is great for that because they have inks to match their cardstock.
- Cut patterned paper into strips of varying sizes. Adhere going along the side and the bottom.
- Cut a large star using the Silhouette (you can certainly use other die cut machines or punches). Adhere with pop dots.
- Punch two smaller stars.
- Add the sentiment.

You know this scenario all too well. He's not calling you as often as you'd like; he's waiting until the last minute to make plans with you; you're feeling taken for granted. You're not sure what to do to turn things around, but you don't want to lose him; you've never felt the way you do about him with anyone else before and you don't want to risk losing him by saying how much you want more than he's giving you right now. But still your heart longs for more from him, and you struggle with just how much to say or not to say and what to do with all of this.
Where do you go from here?
You have a couple options. You can talk to him. You can tell him how you feel. You can let him know what you need from him. You can have that heart to heart talk that he doesn't want to have, but you need to have. You can try to change him by telling him all of this and more. You can hope that by communicating your needs directly with him, he'll know what he needs to do and make those changes you want.
And he might.
But the reality is, all too often it doesn't work out that way. And you only feel worse after talking with him; he doesn't respond well and subtly pulls away even further and you're left regretting saying anything in the first place. Which makes you feel even more scared of losing him, makes you cling onto him all that much more, making you feel more insecure and doubting yourself in the process. It's a cycle that can lead to that all too common place where that unhealthy push and pull pattern comes into play, with us pushing for more and him pulling away, a pattern that can be so difficult to change once it tugs on our deep-seated insecurities that stem from our own abandonment issues, and his feelings of being stifled that come from his own background issues. The more you feel triggered, the more he feels triggered, and before you know it, your relationship can become more about everything going on beneath the surface than it is about the two of you!
Or you have another option.
Instead of talking to him, you can choose to look at yourself. Instead of telling him what you need him to do differently, you can show him by your actions and your behavior exactly what your boundaries are. Instead of the focus being on him, the focus is instead on someone you can actually change; yourself! Instead of depending on someone else to do something different and change to give you what you need, by choosing to focus on you, he doesn't feel smothered, and your feelings of security and confidence in the relationship (and thus your self-esteem) aren't dependent on what he does or doesn't do, and you're not looking for him to prove how much he cares about you by whether or not he responds to your requests – when in reality his response is about how much he is feeling out of control and smothered and not about how much he cares about you!
Do you see the difference?
So if you want him to call you more, instead of telling him you want him to call you more, you don't return his calls right away, or even at all. And not because you're playing games with him, but because you're focusing on you and making you the priority. You're dating more than just him because he hasn't shown you that he's exclusive with you yet. Or worthy of being exclusive for! You're focused on the things you enjoy, you're keeping a full life of your own while you're watching to see where this might lead. You're out there doing things, finding your passion, following your dreams and not staying at home waiting for the phone to ring or continuously checking to see if your cell phone ringer is on in case he calls! You're living your life first and foremost with the focus on you as the icing on the cake, and not a relationship with him!
If you want him to make plans with you earlier in the week before the weekend rolls around, you let him know you already have plans if he doesn't ask you until Friday morning. Because you do already have plans! You didn't wait around for him this time to see if he was going to ask. You went ahead and made your own plans without waiting around for him this time. Sure, you prefer to do something with him. But the reality is, the only way he's going to get the message and start making his plans with you earlier, is if he sees that you require this of him. By your actions! By the fact that you're busy when he finally calls you!
It may take a while.
It may take a while to get used to this new side of you; this confident, self-assured version of yourself that you never knew you had in you. But the reality is, if you want him to treat you differently, if you want to start having the type of relationship that you want with him on your own terms, without you on the begging end, but with you feeling like he's finally treating you the way you know in your heart you deserve to be treated, the way you deserve to be loved, then this is how it happens.
This is the real you!
You deserve nothing less than someone who calls you often and with enough notice to get together. You deserve nothing less than someone who knows what he's got in you and knows what is required of him if he wants to be in a relationship with you.
The key is just remembering this yourself, believing in yourself, and having the confidence and self esteem to know this is the real you.

Facebook Invite Turns Party Into Riot
One young Dutch girl might never want to throw a party again. A 16th-birthday party invite on Facebook that wasn't marked as private ended up being spread to 30,000 people in the Netherlands. In the end, 3,000 partiers showed up to the town of Haren (population 19,000) on Friday despite the party being canceled and police warnings. Six hundred riot police blocked off the girl's street, but that didn't stop revelers from looting shops, setting a car on fire, and attacking officers with bottles and rocks. Twenty arrests were made and at least six were injured.

Avon Lake is a great place to call home. I am happy it is mine. If it has one shortcoming though, a lack of quality food options might be it. I find the restaurant options to be somewhat limited and lacking and, frankly, I think I'm being kind by putting it this way. There's pizza, pizza and more pizza, a couple of Asian choices and then a smattering of other spots that I don't hate but don't love. A few spots easily qualify for an episode Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. The town has seen many cafes and restaurants come and go: Bar Symon, Atlanta Bread Company, Arabica and the list goes on. Not sure of the specifics around each closing but I assume it is the standard reason – patronage volumes that are lower than required to sustain the business.
Perhaps I'm a harsher critic as I have a handful of particulars to consider when selecting a restaurant: I'm vegetarian, my husband is a carnivore and we have a child under 2. I also want to mention that I'm a bit of a foodie who is also into natural and organic foods. Add to this that I'm also a big proponent of supporting local, independent resturants. Surely you can see that my finding qualified food options falls just shy of a mini miracle.
The good news is that several new spots just opened or will be shortly within Avon Lake so I'll have some new options and so will you!
The name is interesting and certainly memorable. One might interpret it for a different type of establishment (or at least this is the reaction I've received from most people when I share the name) but the truth is that it is billed as a quaint spot offering finger-lickin' good Southern Comfort Food. This is certainly a new category to be represented in the far west side of Cleveland. The menu features the expected southern classics: chicken and waffles, cornmeal-crusted catfish, hush puppies, cole slaw and sweet tea. The "sides" menu is tempting enough for me to order just from it. Recent reviews that I've read report a cute and pleasant atmosphere, tasty mac 'n' cheese and cornbread and promises of return visits.
The location is on the eastern end of Avon Lake in the northern end of the Learwood Plaza (the Giant Eagle plaza, as locals refer to it) and is the fully renovated former home of an Italian restaurant (another example of an Avon Lake restaurant gone bye-bye). I'm tickled as this location is a five-minute bike ride from my house making it a great choice for a weekday dinner or a weekend brunch spot. With the addition of Jenni Juggs, the Learwood Plaza has become an even more enjoyable, diverse destination. You can get a pedicure at Luxury Nails, enjoy an order of fried green tomatoes at Jenni Juggs, browse a newly opened Goodwill location, stop by the Ron Zehel Guitar Center for a new set of strings, and finally grab a few groceries at Giant Eagle.
Hours: Tuesday- Thursday, 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., Friday, 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Sunday brunch, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. and regular service 2 p.m .- 9 p.m. Takeout is also available. 440-653-5255
Cafe Melissa (Coming November 2012!)
I recently enjoyed a veggie burger from Sweet Melissa at the 2012 Avon Lake Summer Market. I've also enjoyed their food at their Rocky River location over the last several years. While ordering my burger at the Summer Market, I overheard talk that they would be opening a location in Avon Lake come this November. I was thrilled at the news! (I was also thrilled when they gave me a Free Appetizer gift card for the new location.)
The Sweet Melissa location in Avon Lake will be called Cafe Melissa and will be open for breakfast every day starting at 9 a.m. The menu is to be announced although I'm hoping that at least most of my favorites from the Rocky River location will carry over. The Cafe Melissa location will be in the former Donatos building on Walker Road just West of Route 83/Avon Belden Road.
Hours: Monday – Sunday, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.
A Mediterranean Restaurant (Coming soon!)
So, I have to say that I don't have any confirmed info on this new food offering other than what I have heard through the grapevine around town but I want to believe it so I'm sharing! The story is that a new Mediterranean restaurant is opening in the former Tucky's location (ah, yet another former Avon Lake restaurant and, wow, this one really didn't last long). There are signs of work being started at the former Tucky's location so there could be some validity to the rumors. Let's hope so. Location-wise, it is literally a stone's throw from the new Jenni Juggs. Hopefully, with two very different cuisines, the restaurants will complement versus threaten each other. I'll be sure to share more on this one as news develop!
Let's eat!
So for now, give Jenni Juggs a try and let me know what you think! I will be checking it out soon myself and using the $10 gift card that they gave to the Luxury Nails salon to distribute to its customers. (Kudos to both Jenni Juggs and Cafe Melissa for including an enticement in their grand opening promotional efforts. It works!)

Can Justin Fortune Take Manny Pacquiao back to the Future?
Can Justin Fortune Take Manny Pacquiao back to the Future?
By Gabriel Montoya, MaxBoxing on Doghouse Boxing (March 29, 2014)

When the call came to handle the strength and conditioning duties for Manny Pacquiao before he faced Brandon Rios fight last November, Justin Fortune was couldn't fully answer. He runs the Fortune Gym in Hollywood, CA and simply could not up and leave his business and go to Macao, China on a few days notice.
But the call and message were clear.
"He wants to want to get back to where he was," said Fortune.
And so with this camp, Fortune is back with Pacquiao and reunited with head coach Freddie Roach to face WBO welterweight champ Timothy Bradley on April 12. But can a 35-year-old fighter, a veteran champion of 62 fights, 383 rounds and three knockout losses return to form?
"I think you can take them there," said Fortune. "I think 'Take him there but back to where he was' encompasses everything, not just the training aspects of it but all. Because now it's a good team, a good crew and there's no poison in the camp."
By "poison," Fortune is referring to one Alex Ariza, Pacquiao's former strength coach, who had alienated both Roach and various members of Pacquiao's team. It had become a distraction that ultimately led to Ariza being dismissed before the fight with Rios.
"To get the best performance out of your fighter, he's got to be having fun and happy. He's training hard; he jokes around, has a good time. You work hard; keep shocking your system and enjoy it. I think this stage because he's got tons of experience. He's extremely fit; he came in really good shape, so now we are doing explosive, fast-twitch muscle fiber-building stuff and it awakens him.
Fortune said he felt Top Rank Promotions and Company brought Pacquiao back wisely against Rios.
"Rios was good confidence builder," said Fortune. "I think Manny could have knocked him out but he put in a good performance. I think he wanted to punch out for like 12 rounds, shake off the rust."
At Pacquiao's age, other than reigniting his old fire or returning to his winning ways, I asked Fortune if "Pac-Man" could learn new tricks and if he sees anything new from the last time they worked together in 2007.
"He's learned a hell of a lot, said Fortune. "It's on-the-job training for Manny. He makes adjustments with each fighter. After 40-on fights, you've been around, seen different things but you always learn, work on techniques and tactics."
Pacquiao is something of a gamer in that during sparring, he doesn't seem to be in high gear. He works on moves or ideas. When the bell rings, it all comes together.
"For someone like Pacquiao and everyone else of that level, it's just a matter of bringing your targeting in. At his age, you don't have to go to war every day. You want to get into your body, you know, different weapons, tactics. What's working? What's not working? And get your targeting. That way, you get your rounds in and you're ready to go to war."
In Tim Bradley, Fortune sees an all-around fighter who forces his opponents to be fully prepared.
"Timothy is a nice guy. You can't say anything bad about him," said Fortune. "He is someone you have to come to fight well-prepared."
This fight was supposed to be VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association)-tested but instead, only Bradley is doing the testing, leaving Pacquiao to do testing conducted by the state of Nevada.
"People cast aspersions whichever way it goes," said Fortune.
As for what Pacquiao has left, Fortune thinks there is enough to not only beat Bradley but get Pacquiao back to where he is in the public trust before Juan Manuel Marquez knocked him out in late 2012.
"Remember, when you got speed and power, Provodnikov had power but when you combine that with speed, that's how people get knocked the f*ck out," said Fortune of his fighter's abilities, adding, "Whatever Pacquiao is, he is still a speedy fighter. Everyone always says they came prepared. Really? Then they start jabbing with him and it's like, 'Oh sh*t. This guy is quick.' It is very, very difficult to prepare for someone like Manny because it's hard to find sparring partners with speed."
The fight is two weeks away but the shape Pacquiao is in, a pound or so above the limit, speaks to how prepared he is.
Finally, I asked Fortune what Pacquiao needed to do to change the first fight's outcome, a 12 round decision in Bradley's favor.
"Well, he changed it," laughed Fortune. "He changed the camp around, so now it's a whole new ball game. When your athlete is having fun and happy, he performs a 110% better - in any sport."

The only drawback with these is that they cannot fit all the candy that kids bring with their valentines, so I give them a Ziploc or a brown paper sack to put the candy in.
One of the reasons I LOVE this project is the creativity that it brings out in my kiddos. We all work fro the same pattern, but they are able to create an animal of their choice- SO FUN!
One of my teaching partners has been making these for years- my 19 year old made one when she was in her class in the third grade. Paige was horse crazy at that time and she made a horse. I still have it...
Isn't it CUTE???
For this project all you need is 12X18 construction paper for the body, additional construction paper for the hearts and embellishments, and 2 tracing patterns. We have made the tracing patterns from file folders. The heart is glued on like a pocket, so it is open at the top for the cards to slide into.
Here are the pattern shapes you need:
All that is left is a little creativity and imagination!
Here are two of the samples that I have made- the dog is my actual dog- Stringbean, and I made the squirrel because I love squirrels. (Side note- I had one of my sweet little girls ask me the other day, "Would you still like squirrels if one bit you?" I told her yes, that I wouldn't hold the actions of one squirrel against all squirrels. Then she said, "Well, what if you were attacked by, like, a hundred squirrels?" I told her I would have to get back to her on that one!)
Here are some of the valentine holders my kids made. (Sorry for the boxes, I wanted to protect their privacy.) I hang them in my room until it is party time. They look so fun hanging throughout the room. It was so sweet to hear the kids complimenting each other on their projects today.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE making these! What do you do for valentine holders in your class?
Take care-

Morse || 25-May-2012 Criminal Defense Attorney, in Dublin CA, Livermore CA, Pleasanton CA, and northern California in general, offers the following advice if stopped for DUI: Do NOT ever say that you have had any alcoholic beverage to drink, nor when, nor where, nor how much. Indeed, do not talk to the police at all, other than to give your name: any statement, before or after an arrest, will be taken down, possibly twisted, and always used against you. It NEVER, EVER HELPS to talk to the police in such circumstances, NEVER. They are not there to help you; they are there to put a case together against you. There are powerful grant money and penalty assessment incentives for government to press DUI through arrest to conviction; there is no similar incentive for the cops to be good or helpful to you. And this is not a Miranda-based cautionary note, because Miranda applies only when you are in custody and then only when they are interrogating you. The rule about not talking to the police about anything applies at all times, before and after custody, and whether or not you are being interrogated. Keep your mouth closed. Be polite, but remember, Silence is Golden. If arrested, call Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, San Ramon, Alamo, Hayward, Tracy Criminal DUI Attorney Ivan Morse.

Go Green for Healthy Living
One of the best ways by which you can get to lead a healthy life is by embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle. Such a way of life has become very common in the developed parts of the world because of the advent in global warming.
More Physical Exercise Involved when you make Less Use of Vehicles
A green existence means cutting down on the use of fuel and walking to your place of work or instead taking public transportation. This in a way is very healthy as there is more exercise involved in the latter mode of getting to work rather than simply going comfortably to your office in your car.
Use of Solar Energy Makes you Less Vulnerable to Diseases
An eco-friendly lifestyle would require you to opt for the use of solar panels at home for the generation of energy. This is also quite good. Solar energy is absolutely natural and you will be less vulnerable to diseases like cancer if you chose to use solar energy than electric energy.
Less Exposure to Toxic Gases when you Get your Garbage Recycled
Eco-friendly living means getting your garbage recycled on a daily basis. This would be healthy for you as exposing yourself to the toxic gases that emanate from the existing garbage at home would be something detrimental for your heart and lungs later on.
Thus, if you want to be leading a healthy lifestyle, it can certainly prove to be a good idea on your part to go for green living or an eco-friendly life.

Today's Toyota Challenge BMX Park Finals were explosive. All of the rider's runs where solid and technical, and the packed stands were cheering hard for the show they put on. In the end, Daniel Dhers ended up back where we expect him: on top. But, right behind was Garrett Reynolds, who now has a comfortable lead in the overall Dew Tour standings.
First place went to Daniel Dhers with an amazing run. Daniel had a trick for every hit: barspin flair, 360 barspin backwards over the box, right into a 360 backflip tailwhip, twisted 720 over the street spin, and a 360 whip on the step down.
Coming in second was Garrett Reynolds. Garrett doubled the number of tricks you might think are possible in one air with combinations like tuck to barspin to x up over the street spine, big flair off of the Nike 6.0 bank to jersey, and a barspin to wallride on the step up. With the win, Garrett secures his top spot in the Dew Tour standings, and has a 22 point lead over Mirra, and a 42 point lead over Dhers, meaning that Dew Cup is well within reach.
Third place went to 14 year old Brett Banasiewicz. Riding his DK bike in only his second Dew Tour Finals, Brett was cranking around his entire run, landing a corked out 720, frontflip tuck, opposite flair, flair tailwhip in the five foot mini, and ending with a perfect 720 on the massive step down.
Ryan Nyquist followed in fourth, pulling out truck drivers backwards over the box, a 720 barspin, a 540 truckdriver on a huge quarter, a backflip barspin, and spinning the box transfer with a heavy dip set 360 bar.
Not sure if it was the Vans shoes or what but Mark Webb dropped in with a great run that earned him fifth. 360 invert, 540 tailwhip, flair on the bank to jersey, and his own insane decade to 360 over the main box, also muscled around a 900 and a 720 turndown.
Dave Mirra the legend who shared the lead in overall Dew Tour standings with Garrett going into today, landed in sixth with a flawless brakeless run. He did a backflip the the step down, a large 540 tailwhip, bar to tuck, and showed what perfection is by ending his run with a dialed 720.
Seventh place went to Rob Darden with tricks like truck driver to x up on the stepdown, 720 barspin, big turndown on the street spin to box jump transfer.
Brian Hunt dropped in with a floaty double seat grab no footer, no hand 360, tuck no hander drop in, 540 on the 10 ft quarter, and a double tailwhip over the street spine. It was enough to get him eighth place.
Ninth place went to Brandon Dosch, who rode well all day, landing a double whip, 360s all over the park, and a big foot jam on the 4 foot sub box.
Rounding out the final twelve was Dennis Enarson in tenth, Marcus Tooker in eleventh, and Gary Young. Dennis rode well, pulling an amazing backflip tailwhip on the big step down, but just could not hold everything together.
Marcus had lines all over with tricks like double truck driver from spin to box, a bike flip, and a 720 over the monstrous spin.
Gary Young landed in twelfth with his fast, smooth riding. He landed a clicked lookback 360, turndown 360, and a 360 whip.

Attached is the code of SnoopServlet ( the one provided by Sun - so I might have a problem somewhere else ). Otherwise, as ACL Filter works with security level set to 0, it doesn't work with security set to 1. I tried to put MD5 or SHA in the algorithm field ( didn't know if blank could be used ). I'm testing it on a ServletDirectoryResource. Regards - Jacques Brax

Road-construction crews have made significant progress on the major transportation and utility improvements around St. Luke's Medical Center in downtown Boise.
Aging water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer pipes serving the hospital and surrounding neighborhoods have been replaced, and road improvements and other projects are continuing.
The transportation projects are being done in partnership with ACHD and the City of Boise.
It's going to be a busy summer around the Boise hospital. The City of Boise, the Ada County Highway District and St. Luke's are working on many projects in the downtown area. It's wise to add extra minutes to your commute to account for the additional traffic and road delays.
Here's what you should know about some of the work happening around St. Luke's downtown Boise hospital.
Bishop Foote Guest House Move: Crews were able to finish placing the historic home onto its new lot at Avenue B and Bannock Street on Sunday, May 19.
On Saturday morning, May 18, the house traveled east on Jefferson to Avenue B, turned and made its way under the St. Luke's new skybridge to its new home.
The house was relocated as part of the Boise hospital's development plan. It was initially moved east on Jefferson from its original lot, May 4, but progress stopped due to equipment malfunctions.
The Guest House opened in April 1973 to provide convenient, economical lodging for patients of the Mountain States Tumor Institute and their adult family members. Over the years it few to welcome guests who were under direct medical care at St. Luke's cancer center, St. Luke's Boise Medical Center, St. Luke's
Boise Veterans Administration Medical Center, St. Luke's (Elks) Rehab Hospital and other medical facilities, and their caretakers or companions.
Though the Bishop Foote Guest House has moved, St. Luke's will continue to offer patient and care-giving housing at the Heritage House.
After several years of planning, construction is kicking into high gear on the redesign of the Bannock Street corridor that runs through the heart of St. Luke's Boise Medical Center. The work will transform the Bannock corridor into a dynamic shared space.
2nd and Jefferson: Idaho Power is expected to be working in the area, and the intersection of 2nd and Jefferson is scheduled to be closed starting Thursday, May 23, through Saturday, May 25. (This is an updated date.)
Workers are installing new vaults and boring a new power line.
Avenue C, Jefferson Street: One block of East Jefferson Street will be closed to complete the first phase of road improvements that were started last summer.
Jefferson is being widened to allow for the addition of a bike lane in both directions. The island near the intersection of Jefferson and Avenue C that was removed will be reinstalled. Work should be complete by mid-May, with both roads fully open in time for summer.
Detour signs are posted.
City of Boise's new Robbins Road Roundabout: Sections of Fort Street, Washington Street, Robbins Road and 3rd Street are closed as crews start work on the City of Boise's new Robbins Road Roundabout. See the detour map below for more information. Learn more about this city project here on this City of Boise web page.
Please note that the bus stop on Robbins Road near the Rehabilitation Hospital entrance is temporarily moved to Garrison Road and Fort Place northeast of the hospital.
See the gif below to learn how the city's new roundabout will function.
Warm Springs/Main Street garage area: There is construction work happening near the Warm Springs/Main Street Street St. Luke's employee parking garage in Boise. Expect road detours on Main Street/Warm Springs Avenue as well as walking detours from the garage area to the Boise hospital.
1st and 2nd streets between Jefferson and State streets: There will be closures off and on in this area for utility work. Expect delays, rerouting and temporary closures.
Parking, pedestrian and bike access in Jefferson Street and 1st Street area: There is no parking on the block of Jefferson Street between 1st and 2nd streets. The sidewalk is closed on the north side of Jefferson between 1st and 2nd streets as well as on the west side of 1st Street between Jefferson and State streets. There are cycle track restrictions and closures along 2nd Street. The cycle track is restricted to one lane on State Street between 1st and 2nd streets. These are long-term changes to allow crews to work on construction projects in the area.
St. Luke's Health System, in conjunction with ACHD and the City of Boise, started road construction in the summer of 2017 around St. Luke's downtown Boise hospital. This work is in preparation for the development project that will modernize the Boise hospital in order to improve access and care, while providing improved transportation flow.
The first phase of work centered on improvements to public roads and infrastructure in a 12-block area around the hospital. The goal is to better link the area with Boise's downtown urban core.
Major aspects of this phase include:
Drivers are also encouraged to reduce speeds in the hospital area because of the activity. Construction crews urge travelers to please be attentive while driving through the project area as conditions change regularly. Drivers are reminded that they present an additional hazard to work crews.
They're urged to do their part to create a safe work environment to the men and women working to improve area roads. Travelers are also encouraged to add a few extra minutes to their commutes or find alternative and detour routes to avoid delays.
Improvements along the perimeter of the campus include constructing the cycle track, curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
Hospital visitors, patients, physicians and staff should add a few extra minutes to their trip in order navigate the construction zones.
For patients receiving care at MSTI, please note the drop-off area will remain accessible. If other instructions are necessary, signs will be posted to help guide drivers.
Due to the sidewalk and cycle track improvements and as considered at public hearings, trees in this area were removed. St. Luke's is contractually obligated to replace removed trees using the city forester's valuation and ACHD right-of-way rules. The tree removal is the result of three specific transportation projects the City of Boise, ACHD and the community requested of St. Luke's:
St. Luke's is working closely with the city forester to plant new trees in the cycle track median, in exchange for the 64 removed. St. Luke's will ensure sensitive and appropriate choices are made for the restoration of the tree canopy throughout this portion of the plan. St. Luke's intends to plant trees that are more valuable than required under city code and has agreed to incur this expense, even though the work requiring the majority of removals is directed by the three-party agreement.
Proposed rendering of the cycle track and median showing the replacement trees six to eight years after planting.

The work is part of St. Luke's Master Plan for its Boise campus and is the result of years of extensive study, planning and collaboration with key stakeholders, including the City of Boise, the Ada County Highway District and area residents. The thorough process included dozens of workshops, open houses and neighborhood association meetings, which helped to shape and evolve the plan through thoughtful input.
This is not a "single project," but a multi-phased plan that will occur in stages over the years to come. At its core is our commitment to create an environment in which we can provide the best possible care for patients and families, in an environment geared toward safety, healing and comfort, explained Dave McFadyen, St. Luke's Boise administrator.
"We are happy this is finally moving forward because this development allows us to better meet the needs of our patients by providing modern, advanced care in a more user-friendly setting," said McFadyen. "While this development does add capacity, it's less about growth and more about re-configuring our campus. It will be easier to navigate and find your doctor. There's more room to care for our growing, aging community struggling with more complex chronic health problems. Our physicians will be right there ready to help in an emergency rather than a few blocks away, and our facility will be upgraded in a way that it flows better, saving precious minutes in emergencies, when time truly matters."
Together, the project will be one of the largest investments ever made in Boise and Idaho. It will bring new jobs to the region while building on Boise's growing reputation as one of the most livable cities in the country with the high-quality health care that is a critical component of quality of life. The project will be financed through bonds, cash on hand and community philanthropy. This major development project is estimated to bring as much as $1.2 billion of rollover economic benefit and job growth to the community.

Why things break in space
A great post by Robert Zimmerman that discusses the 2007 Solar Array Wing repair spacewalk by STS-120 astronauts Scott Parazynski and Doug Wheelock. More importantly, it stressed the point that "things will break" in space, and crews "will have no choice but to know how to maintain and repair their vessels…"
I recommend reading the entire post, but here are a few excerpts, emphasis mine:
ISS is presently our only testbed for studying these kinds of engineering questions. And in 2007, a spectacular failure, combined with an epic spacewalk, gave engineers at the Johnson Space Center a marvelous opportunity to study these very issues.
The results were quite unexpected: The guide wire had broken because it had been hit by a tiny piece of space junk, melting and splitting the wire but damaging nothing else.
Like the sailors of old, space travelers will need to able to repair and even rebuild their spaceships, wherever they are. Any interplanetary spaceship design has got to factor this reality into its design.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Oslo is the most expensive city in the world, ahead of Zurich and Tokyo, but the well-paid residents of the Swiss financial hub enjoy the greatest purchasing power, according to a study released on Friday.
The annual survey of 72 cities by Swiss bank UBS found its own hometown had the world's highest average wages and the biggest purchasing power.
The study examined the price of a basket of 122 goods and services, adjusted for currency fluctuations. The cost of living index was calculated by dividing the price of goods by the weighted net hourly wage in 15 sectors.
"In Tokyo it takes nine minutes of work to earn enough to buy a Big Mac, while in Nairobi it takes 84 minutes," it said.
Zurich residents must work 13 minutes for the hamburger, but other goods were relatively cheaper than in Tokyo, putting the Swiss city top of the purchasing power index.
"Workers in Zurich can buy an iPhone after 22 hours work; in Manila, by contrast, it takes around 20 times longer," UBS said.
Workers had to toil 42 minutes in Istanbul and 29 minutes in Shanghai for a Big Mac, while in New York and Hong Kong just 10 minutes were required.
The cheapest places to live were Delhi and Mumbai. New York was the sixth most expensive, Moscow came in at number 40 and Shanghai at 49.
The survey also looked at working hours and found the shortest were in Paris, Lyon and Copenhagen. Workers in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and South America toil the longest, at over 2,000 hours per year, it found.
