Moshi Monsters is a website aimed at children aged 6–14 with over 80 million registered users in 150 territories worldwide.[1] Users choose from one of six virtual pet monsters (Diavlo, Luvli, Katsuma, Poppet, Zommer and Furi) that they can create, name and nurture. Once their pet has been customized, players can navigate their way around Monstro City, take daily puzzle challenges to earn 'Rox' (virtual currency), play games, personalize their room and communicate with other users in a safe environment.[2]
Following its online success, Moshi Monsters has expanded commercially with physical products, including toys, Moshi Monsters Magazine (the number-one selling kids' magazine in the UK),[3] a best-selling DS video game,[4] a music album, books, membership cards, bath soap, chocolate calendars, trading cards, figures of many Moshlings and a full lengh Moshi Monsters feature film. In December 2012, eight Moshi Monster toys were given in McDonald's Happy Meals in the United States and Canada.
The game was developed in 2007 by entertainment company Mind Candy and launched in April 2008.[5] As of December 2009, there were 10 million players registered.[6] In March 2010, Mind Candy announced that there were 15 million users and by September 2010 that number had surpassed 25 million.[7] In June 2011 it was announced that there were 50 million users.[8]
In March 2012, Mind Candy confirmed a major partnership deal with Sony Music.[9] The deal followed the recent launch of Mind Candy's own music label, Moshi Monsters Music. The deal will seeSony Music handle the distribution aspects of Moshi Monsters' music releases, starting with the debut album Moshi Monsters, Music Rox! Jason Perry, formerly with the UK rock band A and head of Moshi Music, is driving the new album. The Moshi Monster TV show features music from: Sonic Boom, Beatie Wolfe, The Blackout (band), Portia Conn, Mop Top Tweeny Bop, Merry Twistmas.
Lady Goo Goo injunction[edit]Edit
In October 2011, Ate My Heart Inc, representing the musician, Lady Gaga, were granted an interim injunction by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales to stop Mind Candy, parent company of the Moshi Monsters, from releasing music on iTunes by a Moshi Monster character known as Lady Goo Goo. The songs intended for release included the parody "Peppy-razzi", similar to the Lady Gaga hit Paparazzi. Justice Vos of the High Court ruled that Lady Goo Goo could appear in the Moshi Monsters game, but could not release, promote, advertise, sell, distribute, or otherwise make available "any musical work or video that purports to be performed by a character by the name of Lady Goo Goo, or that otherwise uses the name Lady Goo Goo or any variant thereon".[10]

A week ago I visited an acquaintance in the hospital – post bypass surgery. I brought him a copy of The China Study and Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease… and my wife's business card. She is officially helping people adopt a Plant Based diet. A friend of mine joked that I was kinda like an ambulance chaser. I felt it was an accurate observation.
There exists a very small window of opportunity to make a difference in someone's life. Approaching someone six days after bypass surgery is one of those moments, talk about a captive audience.
I think it is a moment missed by most Doctors. It occurs at the time when you are most vulnerable but also when you are the most open to new ideas. I spent six days in the hospital after my surgery and not once was I approached about changing my nutrition. No one spoke to me about the causes of my disease nor the ability to reverse the disease. Matter of fact, each meal consisted of milk, meat & eggs; the same food that clogged my arteries.
Back to my visit. As I was preparing to say goodbye the heart surgeon walked in and was about to go over the discharge procedure. I mentioned I was the welcome wagon for the "zipper club" and showed him my scar as a sort of identification tag. He briefly diverted his gaze for a quick smile but was staring at the China Study book I had brought in. I was about to comment on it but I thought twice about drawing more of his attention to it. I wasn't confident his opinion would be positive. It has been my experience that Doctor's don't give much credence to Nutrition as a means to fix problems. I believe it is a direct result of dealing with patients. Compliance is incredibly low even prescribing one pill a day, much less changing every piece of food a patient eats.
So I made my exit from the patient & surgeon. As I walked down the hall a priest came out a room, he had just given last rites and I could see the family in distress.
It was not until later that day that I realized the irony of the situation.
The Surgeon will fix your immediate problem.
The Priest will send you to heaven.
The Plant-Based Guy can save you.

The Chemistry Camera (ChemCam) instrument onboard Curiosity can detect minor and trace elements such as lithium, strontium, rubidium, and barium. Their abundances can provide some insights about Mars' magmatic history and sedimentary processes. We focus on developing new quantitative models for these elements by using a new laboratory database (more than 400 samples) that displays diverse compositions that are more relevant for Gale crater than the previous ChemCam database. These models are based on univariate calibration curves. For each element, the best model is selected depending on the results obtained by using the ChemCam calibration targets onboard Curiosity. New quantifications of Li, Sr, Rb, and Ba in Gale samples have been obtained for the first 1000 Martian days. Comparing these data in alkaline and magnesian rocks with the felsic and mafic clasts from the Martian meteorite NWA7533—from approximately the same geologic period—we observe a similar behavior: Sr, Rb, and Ba are more concentrated in soluble- and incompatible-element-rich mineral phases (Si, Al, and alkali-rich). Correlations between these trace elements and potassium in materials analyzed by ChemCam reveal a strong affinity with K-bearing phases such as feldspars, K-phyllosilicates, and potentially micas in igneous and sedimentary rocks. However, lithium is found in comparable abundances in alkali-rich and magnesium-rich Gale rocks. This very soluble element can be associated with both alkali and Mg-Fe phases such as pyroxene and feldspar. These observations of Li, Sr, Rb, and Ba mineralogical associations highlight their substitution with potassium and their incompatibility in magmatic melts.

From Baltimore to India: Hello Talalay
12 March, 2012 10:45
From Baltimore to India: Hello Talalay
James and Sarah Talalay. We're originally from Baltimore, Maryland USA and currently live in Chennai, India.
1. Why did you move abroad?
We moved abroad for Sarah's job. She joined the U.S. State Department as a Foreign Service Officer in February 2011 and her first two-year overseas tour started in late June 2011.
From Belgium to Singapore: Ozawapi
We are Florine and Simon, a twenty-something couple from Belgium. Adventurous world wanderers and curious photography amateurs, we love to explore new places and share our stories through our blog Ozawapi.
Our travel addiction really started back in 2004. Travelling Down Under had been in our mind for some time. Freshly graduated, we decided to go for it.
7 years, 4 continents and 35 countries later, we are still enjoying traveling together and are not planning on stopping any time soon. From a little shack in the middle of the jungle in Northern Thailand to the 66th floor of a 5 star hotel in Tokyo, we love experiencing the world in very different ways.
From Minnesota to Hanoi: Fishsauce, Motorbikes and the Golden Tortoise
My name is Hannah and I've lived all over the United States, though most recently Minneapolis, Minnesota. I've been living in Hanoi, Vietnam for nearly six months now.
1. Why did you move abroad?
I had planned to live abroad since I was a little kid. I had a good role model in my grandmother who lived in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Switzerland as a girl. Additionally, I've lived in eight different US states. Moving abroad seemed like a natural next step. My parents weren't shocked. They'd sent one sister to study Arabic in Amman, Jordan, when she was 16, the other to study in Germany and me to study in France. I moved abroad when I did, though, because I hated my job. I scheduled medical appointments in a call center. Despite seeming very sudden (I was offered a job and moved here three weeks later), the move was completely predictable. To sum it up, I guess that I had always planned to live abroad but the decision to leave when I did was spurred by economics as I am going to be paying off student debt till I'm 400 years old.
From South Africa to Tokyo: Rurousha
I refer to myself as Rurousha, a Japanese word that means nomad or wanderer. I'm from Stellenbosch, South Africa; I now live in Tokyo, Japan.
1. Why did you move abroad?
Ten years ago I was a career woman who'd never considered a committed relationship or relocation to another country. Then a mutual friend introduced me to a Japanese man … and that caused havoc in my life. I fell in love with him, stalked him halfway around the world and then fell in love with his country.
2. How do you make a living?
I teach English at university and at a conversation school. I have a Master's degree in linguistics and have always worked with language – as journalist, editor and publisher – so the transition to teacher has been easy and fun.
From Florida to Hong Kong: Seeking Elevation
My name is Lisa Harvey. I'm an American expat, born in Massachusetts and raised in South Florida. In the past ten years, I've lived in Florida, Massachusetts, New Orleans, Venezuela, Kenya, Abu Dhabi, back to Florida, and Hong Kong (where I currently live). I'm tired.
1. Why did you move abroad?
After I broke up with my boyfriend in 2001, he moved to Egypt. I thought that was the most interesting thing he'd done since I'd met him, so I followed him over there. Some time during that six-week vacation, I fell back in love with him and in love for the first time with life abroad. We returned to the States so I could get my master's degree and then took off for good.
From Greenwich to Beijing: You're Not From Around Here, Are You?
I'm Steve, originally from Greenwich, London but now living in Beijing. We're currently considering a move south to Chengdu for the winter.
1. Why did you move abroad?
I worked for a bank straight from University. Throughout my twenties holidays and free time were in short supply, so in 2006 I took a sabbatical to travel across Central Asia and loved it. I returned to my old job just in time to take the blame for the financial crisis, and took voluntary redundancy a few months later.
After doing some volunteer work building houses in Costa Rica, I headed south to Latin America. On Christmas Eve in Venezuela I met a Chinese girl travelling alone and we hit it off. We climbed mountains and sailed down the Amazon to the Rio Carnival together, then went our separate ways in Argentina. We met up a few months later in Beijing, and I'm still here. (More)
From the USA to Seoul: Asia Vu
My name is Caroline. I'm an American living in Seoul, South Korea with my husband and two teenage sons. My husband and I are both TCKs (Third Culture Kids); our childhoods were spent in Asia and Europe, as well as all over the US. We were thrilled to give our own kids an opportunity to experience the fun – as well as the challenges – of living in a different culture.
1. Why did you move abroad?
My husband works for a multinational Design/Engineering firm that is doing work in Seoul.
From the UK to Canada to Vietnam: Saigon- Why Am I Here?
Xin chao! My name is Elka Ray. I was born in the UK, grew up in Canada and have spent the past 16 years living in Vietnam.
1. Why did you move abroad?
After high school, I backpacked around Southeast Asia for six months. I was 18 years old, blonde, totally clueless, and lucky to have survived! But I loved it. After doing a degree in Journalism and Asian Studies I moved to Vietnam "for one year" as I wanted to learn more about the country. At that time, Vietnam had only recently reopened to foreigners.
From the Netherlands to Hong Kong: Being Dutch in Asia
Hi! My name is Roald, I'm originally from The Netherlands but living and working in Hong Kong since this summer. Although I have lived in The Netherlands for all my life, I have been working as an IT professional on projects in many different countries in Europe and Asia.
1. Why did you move abroad?
Ever since the first day I came to Hong Kong several years ago, I've been fascinated with this city. I still remember the first time I arrived here; the high-rises, neon signs, the millions of people, the food. That feeling of excitement only grew stronger during the times that I visited the city for my work again, so when I got the chance to relocate here, I didn't hesitate for a moment.
From Canada to Tokyo: Whoa...I'm in Japan?
I'm Amanda, a girl on life's journey – literally. I love to travel and my current stop is the fun, fascinating and sometimes frustrating country that is Japan.
1. Why did you move abroad? If I'm being completely honest, I needed an escape. Life had become too mundane, and the routine was digging into me like a slow brand, or a hole made by the constant slow drip, drip, drip of water.
2. How do you make a living? I work as an English Instructor. I like this job because I went to school for English literature and journalism, and I get to use all my English language and grammar knowledge. I also like talking to people and it's rewarding to watch them learn. (More)

22 Nov 2016 - Cheap persimmons
My favorite winter fruit!
Saw this at a shop selling veggies and fruits near my Air Bnb apartment.
So cheap right??
1 pack contained 5 persimmons for only 1000 won.
They tasted the same as those sold in Sheng Siong lol
The same packaging were sold in Sheng Siong and cost less than SGD $3,
so I think you don't have to carry this back to SG ㅋㅋㅋ

Houki is very delicious boundary grade tea between koicha (thick tea) and usucha (thin tea)
Houki is a deliciously full-bodied koicha tea, rich in flavors and magical aromas offering an unforgettable experience. Its taste lingers in the mouth long after consumption. It is primarily a koicha tea, yet it's also delicious as a usucha. It tolerates lower temperature water well, and is not prone to turning bitter. It is a more full-bodied and sweeter tea compared to the Koun, next on our list.

As trusted economists and policy advisors to business and government leaders, the Council relies on sound, evidence-based analysis to inform its policy recommendations. Through diligent tracking of BC's economic performance, we help identify the opportunities and challenges the province must navigate in order to reach its full potential.
Statement: Business Council supports new minimum wage policy
"The Business Council supports the government's decision today to implement a modest increase of the statutory minimum wage of $0.20 to $10.45 and to index future increases to the consumer price index as the Council has previously advocated," said Jock Finlayson, Executive Vice President and Chief Policy Officer, Business Council of British Columbia.
"This brings British Columbia's minimum wage policy in line with most other jurisdictions in Canada and provides a fair and predictable approach to future increases that businesses can plan around.
Whitworth Op-Ed: Liquefied Natural Gas is a Generational Opportunity (Vancouver Sun)
The debate about the future of liquefied natural gas in British Columbia is generating plenty of heat, but often too little light. A casual observer can be forgiven if he or she is just a bit confused about whether LNG will come to B.C.
Strip away the rhetoric, however, and a truth remains: In a growing world economy hungry for cleaner forms of energy, the market for B.C.'s natural gas remains strong.
As CEO of Seaspan ULC and chair of the British Columbia Business Council, I think it is important we remember this when considering LNG's potential to shape our province for the better.
Forest Sector Remains a Vital Economic Engine for BC
British Columbia's forest industry is an integral part of our economy and remains one of the most important economic engines for the province. It generates tens of thousands of jobs directly and supports many more jobs in other sectors that sell goods and services into the different elements of the forest products cluster.
The Intersection of Environmental Policy and Economic Growth
The argument often goes: increased environmental regulation makes for a better society and facilitates economic growth. Some in the business community may disagree. To date there have been academic studies in support of both sides of the discussion but the answer has remained elusive. There is no doubt that much environmental regulation helps shape the conduct of individuals and firms by creating limits and articulating responsibility for actions and performance. But a proliferation of poorly designed and badly implemented regulations may have negative consequences for the economy, deterring investment and undercutting the competitive position of affected firms in trade-exposed industry sectors.
BC Budget 2015: Few New Measures...But an Era of Surpluses Lies Ahead
The benefits of BC's diverse and resilient economy were evident as Finance Minister Mike de Jong tabled a Budget on February 17 that calls for a modest surplus for 2015‐16, followed by slightly larger surpluses in the two subsequent years. This places BC in the position of being possibly the only province to balance its books in the coming year. Fiscal circumstances, however, remain tight, and the Budget featured few new spending or taxation initiatives. Spending increases that did make it into the Budget were concentrated in health care and to a lesser extent education, along with a few targeted measures aimed at lower income households. The government opted to advance capital spending over what it had planned last year, in line with the Business Council's advice.
Finlayson Op-Ed: Too little investment puts BC economy at risk (Troy Media)
Economists have long worried about Canada's sluggish productivity growth and the seemingly ever-widening gap with the United States on this key indicator of economic well-being. It is widely recognized that the problem stems in large part from relatively low levels of investment in Canada, particularly in certain types of assets that are strongly associated with productivity improvements in modern economies – machinery, plant, equipment, software, and digital and other advanced and process technologies.
Release: Budget 2015 Reflects Sound Fiscal Management and the Benefits of a Diverse Economy
The Business Council of British Columbia applauds today's provincial budget, which features another three years of operating surpluses and a plan to reduce the province's net debt measured relative to the size of the economy (GDP). Budget 2015 is built around prudent economic and revenue growth projections and includes a handful of modest, but well-targeted, spending increases.
"We support the government's budget plan and acknowledge its steady stewardship of the province's finances," said Greg D'Avignon, President and CEO of the Business Council. "The government is focusing most of the proposed spending increases on health care and education while containing expenditure growth in most other areas."
"We believe, however, that overtime it will be necessary to refocus efforts on strengthening BC's competitive position through increased investments in infrastructure, further streamlining of regulatory processes, and the refinement of current tax policies to spur business investment and innovation," added D'Avignon.
Finlayson Op-Ed: Economic prospects bright for BC (Vancouver Sun)
As Finance Minister Mike de Jong gets ready to table his 2015 budget, the incoming economic data paint a mixed picture. Projections for global growth have been marked down by the International Monetary Fund and other leading forecasting agencies. The Eurozone hovers on the brink of recession, China's once frenetic economy is slowing, and the prices of many internationally traded commodities remain in the doldrums.
Canada has also lost a step, with real gross domestic product (GDP) shrinking in November and the job market seeming to run out steam as 2014 progressed. Last month's decision by the Bank of Canada to trim its trend-setting overnight lending rate by 25 basis points signalled policymakers' worries about the state of the national economy.
Release: Strengthening Asian Investment in British Columbia
Today, the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Industry and Minister Responsible for British Columbia, joined by the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, the Honourable Teresa Wat, B.C. Minister of International Trade, as well as the Business Council of British Columbia (BCBC) announced a new project to attract Asian head offices to Vancouver. This project, entitled HQ Vancouver, will build on Canada's competitive advantages in key sectors and attract major Asian firms to set up their North American head offices in British Columbia.
An Update on Incomes
Statistics Canada recently published a fresh batch of data taken from the Canadian Income Survey. The picture that emerges is similar to what we have reported before. British Columbia remains a middling income performer within the national context.
BC Poised for Decent Growth in A Turbulent World
The Business Council's first Economic Outlook and Review for 2015 projects a 2.6% increase in BC's real GDP and examines the impact on BC's economy of a number of factors including the global economic outlook, a rebounding US economy, declining oil prices and domestic factors such as housing starts and exports.
Interest Rates in Canada - Lower for Longer
This week's decision by the Bank of Canada to trim its overnight lending rate by 25 basis points (from 1% to 0.75%) caught the markets by surprise and also embarrassed the country's economic forecasting community.
Finlayson: Canada looks set for another year of modest economic growth (Troy Media)
The early weeks of 2015 have been a reminder that we live in a turbulent and risk-prone world. From plummeting oil prices to terrorist attacks in France, jittery stock markets, slowing growth in China, and renewed political uncertainty in Greece, there has been much to capture the attention of those inclined to fret about the future. But the underlying economic picture is more favourable than a glance at the newspaper headlines may suggest.
Plunging Oil Price Good for the BC Economy in 2015…
The rapid and steep decline in world oil prices has prompted a fair amount of commentary on the accompanying economic impacts. For Canada, much of the analysis points to modestly negative economic implications, stemming from reduced business investment, lower corporate revenues, a decline in the value of exports, and diminished job creation in the oil patch. Lower oil prices also translate into a decline in revenues flowing to the federal government and to provinces like Alberta and Newfoundland.
Finlayson Op-ed: Income inequality not a problem in Canada (Vancouver Sun, Troy Media)
Canada has long been known as a country that promotes the values of equity and fairness within our society. That helps to explain why the issue of economic inequality resonates with the media and among many of our political leaders. With a federal election expected sometime in 2015, inequality is sure to get more attention in the months ahead.
Globally, concerns over inequality are also on the rise. A recent article in The Economist magazine noted that 56 per cent of citizens in the advanced countries believe inequality is a problem. On most indicators, income inequality has indeed increased within most industrial countries, although it has diminished at the global level owing to a long stretch of relatively strong economic growth in China and many other emerging markets.

Second annual survey shows strong partnerships and $373 million in charitable contributions by British Columbia's business community
Today, the Business Council of British Columbia released the second annual study quantifying the charitable contributions made by the province's business community, conducted by MNP LLP. The report, Prosperous Companies, Prosperous Communities found that in 2013 British Columbia businesses donated $373 million in cash donations, sponsorships and partnerships to the province's charities with the top types of charities supported being social services, health, education and environment.
Getting a Handle on the Environmental Goods and Services Industry
Previous editions of the Environment and Energy Bulletin were concerned with the criteria and tools that can shed light on how green jobs and other environment-related activities contribute to the economy. This paper is another piece in the exploration of that topic. Here, we adopt a somewhat narrower focus by looking at "the environmental goods and services producing sector" of the economy.

Over the past couple of months, I've been sharing with you some tips about how new investors can break into the market. And I think it's the perfect time for our next lesson – looking this time at the inextricable connection between stocks and bonds.
Although I tend to write about the stock market as if it were a singular entity, I'm usually talking about the markets in the plural. Not just the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or the S&P 500 Index, or the Nasdaq – when I'm talking about the stock market or stocks, I am talking about ALL the indexes.
But when I use the word markets, I'm talking about not just the stock market indexes but also the entire bond market.
The bond market isn't just the U.S. Treasury bond market. The bond market is to me, and should be for you, all the different bond markets, including but not limited to Treasurys, corporates, sovereign bonds, and junk bonds.
The word markets encompasses stocks and bonds because they are inseparable. There is an immutable relationship between stocks and bonds. They are connected at the hip. From now on, you, too, should always think of markets as both the stock market and the bond market.
It's OK to only think about stocks when you're making stock trades, analyzing your stock positions, or just chatting about the stock market. But always keep the bond market in the back of your mind when you're thinking about stocks. Remember the bond market when you're listening to pundits talking about stocks and when you're reading about stocks or the stock market.
And now I'll tell you why you almost always have to think of stocks and bonds together.

And now, here's the reason stocks and bonds are so connected:

Psychogalactic Pizza: First Fragment
Being the ongoing transcendental prose melodrama of André Katkov, BA, MFA, and Fourth-Order Earthen Pajama Lord
First Fragment
They say the grass is always greener on the other side, but that's just stuff and nonsense, isn't it? Anybody who's dined in Odin's halls or hummed the bass line for a chorus of spacemaids in the seventh circle of Jorxan 12 knows that sometimes the grass is pink, gold, or a duller, yellowed green. Sometimes it's not grass at all. Sometimes it's made of cats or glass or sandwiches.
If you think it sounds like I'm speaking from experience, you'd be half-right, though I feel experience is an awfully generous word for it. That said, yes. I've seen my fair share of the Suchdoms. I've traveled through space in bootleg spacecans while blasting handcannons from the hip at astral dragons and thrice-dead mummies as the Bubar Nexus collapsed into a nearby sentient sun. But I'm nothing special. No, I'm mortal as they come, and my adventures—if I might be permitted to offer up a somewhat over-exciting term to refer to my many and manifold mishaps—have been more the product of chance, luck (both good and ill), curiosity, and good ol' fashioned American procrastination.
But I digress. I'm here because I've been prompted by some of my best friends and most mortal enemies to jot down my experiences for the benefit of those who have that good and holy ability to learn from the mistakes of others. And though I'd love to recount some of my more classic misadventures, mistake-making is a lifelong venture and I fear it's all I can do to hurriedly chase after more recent happenings and hope that my life is—at some point—dull enough to allow an interval wherein I can return to my more distant memories and relay them here before my bad brain drops those shards of thought into that unbreachable ether of anti-eternity.
My most recent outing that might be considered noteworthy started with a quick run to a consumer supercenter (which I can't name here for legal reasons, but it has the word wall and the word mart somewhere in its title, though not necessarily in that order, so puzzle at that if you dare). I'd landed back in Rhode Island, a tiny, tiny state renowned for its smallness, cephalopodish elder creatures, and being really tiny, just the other day and realized I had a dearth of paper towels, which is an unforgivable sin for any sanctum sanctorum caretaker, no matter the size or importance of said sanctum.
The drive itself was fairly uneventful, though I composed this poetic gem in my head on the way:
The road, cold road,
is cold, so cold, and is
a road—o, road! I rode that cold road,
rode that cold Rhode Island road.
Look at that toad on this Rhode Island road
waving his tongue as he talks on the phone
, cold phone, running down the minutes
'til he has to go home. I check my phone…
no signal, so roam, phone, roam. Like
a free-willed toad on this Rhode Island road.
Roam, phone.
I grappled with potential titles for a few minutes, but I arrived at the shopping center before I could settle on a title that felt suited to the magnitude of my new work, and perhaps because of that—and not long thereafter—I forgot how the words to the poem itself, and to this day have been unable to remember its sweetly musical combination of nouns and verbs. These are the tragedies of the troubadour. Verily, these moments are the crystalline melodies that lay down rails upon which the poet's tears flow!
In my artistic distress, my soul quivered like the bestial inner-being of a cornered crow, wounded and at death's edge, and—not unlike any other foul in such dire straits—I developed a fierce and whelming need to urinate.
Quick as I could, I rushed into the store, hustled past a stand of some straight-to-DVD Mark Wahlberg movies, and blundered into the restroom proper. And here—dear reader—is where the adventure began in earnest.
The restroom, praise good dead Baldur, was vacant, save for some devilish gurgling in the far stall upon which I shall not here dwell. I hobbled up to the second urinal from the left, readied myself for the act, and let that warm golden current flow. Though I am prone to exaggeration, know you now that I tell no lies when I say that I stood there peeing for thirty-eight seconds straight. It was as though some faraway force hungered for my inner heat, longed to drain me of every drop of liquid warmth. When the urine ceased to flow, and pajamas were back in proper order, I turned, ready to approach the sink and wash mine hands, but lo! A voice called out, and to me thus spoke:
"I've awaited long for one such as you, my friend!"
I turned back, but there was nobody to be seen, save for the urinals and the being in the far stall which I shall proceed to omit from this narrative. In my confusion and distant fear, I spoke out to identify the source of my would-be partner in conversation, rallying years of sharpened writerly skills and conversational expertise to dance upon my tongue.
"Ahhh, what was… who?"
"Cast your gaze downward, goodly sir, whereupon your urine recently did flow."
Obediently, I looked down upon the urinal and in my heart I knew that here was the source of verbal expression that had briefly eluded me.
"You're a urinal," I remarked.
"Yes, and in recognizing that," the urinal proclaimed proudly, "you have passed the first test."
"The first… the first test? I did that?" I asked.
"Did I not just so say?" the urinal replied.
"I… what?" I asked wisely.
"Yes," the urinal replied quietly. "You passed the test."
"That sounds good," I said, smiling a little. My spirit, still downcast from its recent loss of poetry, took heart at the urinal's proclamation of some small success.
"It is indeed," the urinal gurgled. "You are the one we've been waiting for."
"You've been waiting for me?" I asked, incredulous. "You've made a mistake, dude."
"No," the urinal said solemnly, and though eyes it had not, I knew it was peering into the very depths of my being. "Middling intelligence… pajamas… beard… a knack for self-deprecating humor… well-maintained rotundity… yes. You are the one."
"Well, uh…" I said, frowning slightly at my so-called rotundity, "thanks… I guess."
"But as a formality," the urinal pressed on, "there are a few additional tests that must be conducted to verify your identity. Flush mine handle thrice and say, 'Beetle, beetle, made of snow, show me where the pee-pee flows!'"
"Um," I started, glancing nervously at the door, "I'd really like to, but I have to get some paper towels for tonight so… I've got to… um… there's a Mark Wahlberg DVD out there with my name on it, and—"
"Flush mine handle thrice and say the words," the urinal commanded. I jumped sheepishly and did as I was commanded.
"Beetle, beetle, made of snow," I intoned, "show me where the pee-pee flows." And even as that last sibilant slid from my tongue, good reader, the walls of the restroom didst melt away and the floor, of questionable cleanliness, evaporated into a fine mist that hovered over grass that would make any golf course gardener gape in wonder (and, I'll admit, it was indeed greener than any grass I'd theretofore seen)! In place of the walls stretched a forest of gnarled, blackened trees, and upon one such tree our friend, the urinal, did sturdily hang. On either side of him stood giant marshmallows with beady black eyes and long, thin emotionless mouths that could only be rendered by pen upon paper by the most unskilled of three-year-olds. They had thin wiry metal arms and stood upon legs of the same. I glanced at horror at one, and then at the other, and then—using my peripherals, in horror I beheld them both at once.
The urinal, acknowledging my fear, laughed evilly and shook his tree just, splashing bits of water here and there, including one of the marshmallows toes (the puffy thing, I noticed, frowned slightly, though let it be known that he made a valiant attempt to mask his disgust).
"You have fallen for my ruse," the urinal declared. "And now… you die."
And though it is an uncommonly strange place to leave you, the hour grows sevenish, and there is leftover pizza I needs must microwave and cola I must guzzle as the gods guzzle… mead, I suppose, so leave you I must, dear reader. But take heart, dear reader, for next week we'll return to this horrible tale and see whether I best this toilety fiend and his campfire friends or if… heavens forbid… I die!

It can be hard to move past a situation in which one partner has been unfaithful to the other, but for couples who want to try to work through a situation in which an affair has occurred, couples counseling can help a great deal. If you have made the decision to seek couples counseling, then you have likely begun to accept that there is going to be a lot of work involved, but it is not impossible to move past this kind of incident in a relationship. The key to success here is communication, and both partners have to want to move past the incident.

Get to Know Each Other All Over Again with Couples Counseling Houston
It is not uncommon for a couple to say they have grown apart over the years. After all, people change and they see the world differently over time. These changes can have a major impact on the success of a relationship if partners aren't willing to work through the changes together. When you decide to work with a Houston couples counselor at Grief Recovery Center, you'll be able to work on your relationship, discover more about yourself, and find ways to communicate better together.
Take Ownership of Your Feelings in a Safe Environment
Couples often find it hard to talk about how they have changed, and many partners find it easier to blame the change on someone else. By taking ownership of changes you have experienced, you can learn to present yourself in a way that makes you feel confident and proud of who you are and your partner can work with you to learn to accept these "new people". Couples counseling is a safe place to express your feelings.
Relationship Counseling Can Work for You
Couples therapy works in a number of ways, but the most common approach is to start with an assessment of the relationship itself. This assessment can include information about your relationship history, and the dynamics that are at play in your relationship. You might explore your family history with your partner and vice versa. You'll have a chance to discuss your values and what you wanted for the relationship in the beginning and how those things might have changed over time. Finally, you and your partner might explore factors that are influencing your relationship, both good and bad. It's also important to discuss individual issues that could impact the relationship.
Relationship Assessments Help You and Your Houston Couples Therapist
The assessment interview helps the therapist to understand each partner as an individual and not just a function of the relationship that is at stake; this information helps to influence counseling, and our experience has shown that outside assessment of a situation can often shed light on underlying factors and issues that might be impacting the relationship but weren't previously discussed.
What Will You Learn in Couples Counseling Houston
Every couples counseling session is different. What partners expect to discover and what they discover are often two very different things. It is a personal process that involves a lot of trust and patience on behalf of the couple, as well as the marriage and family therapist. You need to be willing to trust the process and be uncomfortable with parts of the therapy sessions so that you can get the most out of your sessions. You'll also be able to make decisions about your family and how to move forward in your relationship.
The Sky's the Limit for Your Relationship!
Some of the things you might discover about your relationship include:
- You need to improve your communication skills to listen to your partner
- You need to improve your communication skills to be heard by your partner
- You need to build trust
- You need to feel safe with one another
- You want to enjoy more fun times together
- You want to be able to resolve conflict without malice
- You are closer than you thought to your partner
- You love your partner more than you thought
- You want to deepen intimacy levels so you can stay close
- You want to understand your partner to help them through a tough situation
- You want less anger in your relationship
- Plus much more
An Opened Mind is Important to Couples Counseling
If you are attending couples counseling, the one thing you need to bring with you is an opened mind. You cannot expect to change anything about yourself or your relationship if you don't open your mind to the possibility that you might be part of the problem, or you might be perpetuating behaviors that you don't like, or that you might not want to save the relationship at all. You need to be willing and open to talking about the hard things, and about celebrating the good things in your relationship. Your licensed marriage and family counselor will be able to help you maintain a space for an open mind during your sessions, so that you and your partner can get the most out of your therapy to improve your relationship, become closer, and reach your relationship goals.
Communication is the Key to Couples Counseling
Sometimes, it can be difficult for one or both partners to express their thoughts, feelings, worries, anxieties, dreams, and hopes for the relationship. In order for couples counseling to be effective, each partner needs to do their share of the work when it comes to communication. It is the most effective tool in the couples counseling toolbox, and your marriage and family therapist can help you express yourself in a way that is both effective and nurturing to your relationship.
Does Counseling for Couples in Houston Really Work?
If you have your doubts about whether or not couples counseling might work for your relationship, there is much evidence to suggest that counseling does work for many people. The key to success is a couple's willingness to work through their problems together, rather than apart.
How Often Does Marriage and Couples Counseling Really Work?
The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists reports that more than 98% of couples who have gone through couples counseling reported receiving good or excellent therapy sessions that were helpful. More than 97% of couples who went through couples counseling said they received the help they needed to move forward. Finally, more than 93% of couples who attended couples counseling said they had more effective tools for handling issues in their relationship as a result attending counseling.

text: Future Perspectives in the Medical Treatment of EndometriosisFerrero, Simone MD*; Abbamonte, Luiza Helena MD†; Anserini, Paola MD*; Remorgida, Valentino MD*; Ragni, Nicola MD‡Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey: December 2005 - Volume 60 - Issue 12 - p 817-826 doi: 10.1097/01.ogx.0000189153.87365.dc CME Program: CATEGORY 1 CME REVIEW ARTICLES 34, 35 AND 36: CME Review Article 35 Abstract Author InformationAuthors Article MetricsMetrics In the last few years, our understanding of the pathogenesis of endometriosis at the cellular and molecular levels has improved significantly. This may give us the opportunity to use new, specific agents for the treatment of this disorder. Despite the effectiveness of the available treatments, novel therapeutic strategies may improve our ability to eliminate endometriotic lesions when present and to prevent the recurrence of endometriosis after surgical treatment. This review focuses on the new, experimental approaches to the medical treatment of endometriosis and its symptoms. The blockage of aromatase activity in endometriotic lesions with an aromatase inhibitor may represent a new step in the medical treatment of endometriosis. Preliminary clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of third-generation nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors (ie, anastrozole and letrozole) in reducing the intensity of pain symptoms associated with the presence of endometriosis. The new selective progesterone receptor modulators may represent a valid hormonal treatment option. Therapeutic manipulation of the immune system through TNFα inhibitors may be beneficial in women with endometriosis. New pharmaceutical agents affecting inflammation, angiogenesis, and matrix metalloproteinase activity may prevent or inhibit the development of endometriosis. Further clinical trials may determine if these new therapies are superior to current medical treatment strategies for endometriosis. Target Audience: Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians Learning Objectives: After completion of this article, the reader should be able to describe the new experimental medical treatments of endometriosis, state that the clinical use of nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors for endometriosis appears to be efficacious but is based on preliminary clinical data, and recall that the drugs used for endometriosis in the future may include manipulation of the immune system. *Obstetrician/Gynecologist, †Resident, and ‡Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, San Martino Hospital, University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy Chief Editor's Note: This article is part of a series of continuing education activities in this Journal through which a total of 36 AMA/PRA category 1 credit hours can be earned in 2005.
