Austin, Texas (PRWEB) July 31, 2014
DocbookMD, a HIPAA-secure mobile communication solution created by Austin-based physicians Tracey Haas and Tim Gueramy, announced the on-boarding of six new hospital and group customers for Docbook Enterprise.
According to Dr. Tim Gueramy, CEO of DocbookMD, most of the new healthcare organizations selected their solution because physician leaders from each one had been using the medical society version of DocbookMD and saw a huge benefit for their respective organizations to adopt the HIPAA-secure communication platform. "We have always offered a free version of DocbookMD through state and county medical societies, so it's no surprise that we have seen a surge in interest in our Enterprise version, led by physician leaders," Gueramy says. "We have learned that what hospitals and groups need is not a communication system between its own physicians and care teams but one that opens them up, safely and securely, to a larger community of healthcare resources and services like radiology and labs, particularly if they participate in an ACO."
In addition to offering a robust medical directory with secure messaging for physicians, DocbookMD launched its Enterprise communication platform to address the workflow requirements of physicians and the entire healthcare team. "A big reason why our customers choose Docbook Enterprise over other solutions is because of its plug-and-play ability to connect our physicians and care teams to other 3rd party services like radiology and labs," said Dr. Tracey Haas, CMO of DocbookMD. "We are able to customize connections to speed up information flow across healthcare organizations like ACOs, hospital systems and even emergency response teams in the wake of natural disasters."

Tucker: Brady shouldn't comment on Gronkowski
Is it possible that this Rob Gronkowski situation has gone on so long that popular perception has swayed back to those supporting the big tight end? Seemed for a while that most felt as though Gronk should be back if he's playing in practice. "His team needs him!" was the popular refrain.
But now that teammates have come out and made themselves heard -- even Tom Brady said Gronk looks "great" in practice -- it sounds as though people are doubling back to support Gronkowski. "Who has the right to tell him what to do with his body and his career?" they say.
That's what Ross Tucker essentially told Mike Giardi on SportsNet Central on Tuesday.
"It's unfair of Tom Brady to treat Rob Gronnkowski in that way, and really Tom should know better," Tucker said.
"He's struggling out there," Ross added. "This is the worst I've seen Tom Brady play in years. Part of it is obviously the group he's doing it with. Maybe he thinks, 'Look I don't have that many more options/years left. I gotta get this guy out there."
When Troy Brown visited with Gary Tanguay and Joe Haggerty on Sports Tonight, he relayed a similar opinion: Gronk should do what's best for Gronk, regardless of what people are saying.
"There's no questioning this guy's toughness and what he brings to this football team," Brown said.
"Do I wanna play this week or do I wanna play eight or nine more years?" Brown asked. "After eight, nine more years, he's gonna cash in if he plays like he has in the past."
Where do you stand, assuming Gronk would get medical clearance if he told Dr. James Andrews he felt ready? Should he be out there?


text: I have been to many brunch places around Blacksburg and decided to stop by here one morning. I was pleased by the selection of breakfast and lunch options and loved the decor of the inside of the restaurant. I'm not a huge fan of the prepackaged sandwiches and a lot of the ones on display were already made. I ended up getting eggs and bacon which came out quickly and was very yummy. Will probably be back here soon! I recommend sitting inside instead of outside because it is a bit busy and noisy outside.

An overview of mobile SNS sites Gree and Mobage in Japan.
If you have traveled in Japan to a big city like Tokyo, you will find that everyone is text messaging or playing games. Japan's mobile phone penetration rate is about 87.7 percent. Considering there are minors and seniors as a denominator, the market perspective penetration rate must be over 100 percent.
According to the Telecommunication Carriers Association, there are 122.4 million mobile subscribers as of August 2011, dominated by three carriers: Docomo (58.8 million), AU (33.5 million) and Softbank (26.6 million) that make up 97.1 percent of the market.
TCA also said 97.2 percent of phones in Japan have 3G or higher Internet connection. About half of the new phones sold are smartphones (45.5 percent) in this second quarter of 2011; Android accounts for 2.7 million and iPhone, 990,000. In short, everyone has phones that can access to SNS easily and the smartphone market is growing rapidly in Japan.
In this big mobile phone sector, two SNS platform providers Gree and Mobage are dominating the market. They represent SNS businesses that differ from others outside of Japan. They are virtual (members do not use real name or real identities) and social interaction happens inside of the virtual gaming world.
According to CNN, Facebook projects US$600 million virtual currency sales in the next 12 months with 800 million users. In contrast, Gree and Mobage are projected to make US$2.6 billion virtual currency sales in the next 12 months with 126 million users. The mobile SNS is highly monetised in Japan.
As most of my articles are related to search, I try to look for a connection between mobile SNS and search in Japan. However, the nature of the business models prohibits having a real life social impact hence almost no impact in search. What happens in Japan's mobile SNS stays within mobile SNS, inside of its well monetised platforms.
Other SNS like Mixi, Facebook, and Google+ also are growing along with smartphone sales. In my next article, I will write and focus on other SNS that have impact with real life interactions.

There were three country performances and just one award presented during the 2015 Grammys on Sunday night (Feb. 8), but none of those televised events were the best moment from the ceremony.

On June 24, the House Appropriations Committee approved the Fiscal Year 2016 Labor, Health and Human Services funding bill, announcing that the proposed "[l]egislation will rein in damaging regulatory overreach, roll back harmful ObamaCare provisions, cut wasteful spending, and target investments to proven national programs."
Well, not really.
The bill would cut spending for the Departments of Labor, Education, Health and Human Services by about $15 billion (9%), compared to the President's proposed budget.
According to the Office of Management and Budget, cuts to these so-called "wasteful" programs and "harmful" provisions would: Read more »
Today is not just any old Wednesday. In fact, let's rename it "Bipartisan Wednesday." Or, "We All Stand for Pregnant Workers Wednesday." Or, "The Day the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Gained a Republican Sponsor in the House (So There's Really No Excuse Not to Pass It) Wednesday."
What's the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act? Read more »
A couple of months ago, the House of Representatives passed a bill to undo a D.C. law, the Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment Act (RHNDAA), that protects women from workplace discrimination based on their reproductive health decisions. Fortunately for D.C. residents, because the Senate did not take up the bill to undo D.C.'s law within the allowed time frame, the law took effect on May 2.
The D.C. law is quite simple really. It says that employees shouldn't be fired for choosing if, when, and how to start a family. Why we would need this law in 2015 is more than troubling; but, unfortunately—even today—some bosses think that the personal reproductive health decisions we make are fair game for retaliation at work.
Now back to the House of Representatives. Never one to miss an opportunity to attack women's health, the House has decided once again to try to stop the D.C. law. This time it is using its spending power to deny D.C. the ability to use its own local funds to implement this local law. Read more »
We all know that the majority in the House of the Representatives doesn't look too kindly on women's constitutional right to privacy, which includes the right to use birth control and to have an abortion. Already four months into the new Congress, the majority has voted to permanently ban any federal insurance or health program from covering abortion except in very limited circumstances. It tried to pass an unconstitutional bill that would ban abortions after twenty-weeks but only failed to do so because of an internal disagreement about whether rape survivors must report their rape to get their abortions covered.
Why do these House members want to ban insurance coverage of reproductive health care and ban some abortions? Because they want to impose their own personal beliefs about birth control and abortion on the clear majority of the American population who does not hold similar views. They want to legislate women's bodies and interfere in women's reproductive health decisions. Read more »
Who knew a fight over a reporting requirement for rape survivors could take down a horrible bill that would impose a nationwide abortion ban on later pregnancies? But that's exactly what happened last night. Just as I was about to get on a treadmill to work out the stresses of the day, I learned that the House Rules Committee was hastily convening at 9 pm to replace the 20 week ban bill with a totally different anti-abortion bill.
You can't make this stuff up when it comes to abortion politics. Read more »
On Monday, California Congresswoman Jackie Speier introduced a bill that would require all members of the U.S House of Representatives to complete mandatory sexual harassment training. The training would include "practical examples aimed at prevention of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation presented by expert trainers."
This is a commonsense solution to an all-too-common problem. Employers have a legal obligation to prevent and remedy harassment, and it makes good business sense. Yet 25 percent of women and 10 percent of men still report harassment in the workplace today.
All employers—including the House—should adopt policies that explain what sexual harassment is, and make it unmistakably clear that it is prohibited in the workplace. A policy should also set out a procedure for filing and investigating complaints. Then, employers should train employees, supervisors, and managers not to harass and what to do if harassment occurs.

It's time to end the government shutdown and make sure America pays its bills. That's why we are joining forces with organizations across the country to turn the pressure up – one phone call at a time – and send a clear message to the House of Representatives.
Call 888.659.9562 and urge your Member of Congress to end the shutdown, no strings attached! It's as easy as 1-2-3.
While the rest of us were watching the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend, the House passed a bill that holds women's health hostage as a bargaining chip in the debate over shutting down the government.
It is such a typical move by the far-right politicians in the House that it almost plays out like a skit on SNL. They have become caricatures of themselves.
Specifically, late Saturday night, the House passed a continuing resolution that would exempt bosses from complying with the ACA's Women's Health Amendment if they oppose it for "religious or moral" reasons. This means that bosses could impose their religious beliefs on their employees, or even block their employees' access to needed women's health care for vague and undefined "moral" reasons. Female employees and dependents – just like men – are capable of making their own health decisions and must be allowed to do so without interference from their bosses. Read more »
Tighten our belts? You have to be kidding.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is expected to introduce a bill that could come to a vote this week, which would cut SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) benefits for 4 to 6 million struggling Americans. SNAP provides critical assistance to millions of people, mostly women and children, to stave off hunger. In 2011, SNAP lifted the incomes of almost 3.9 million people above the poverty line (including 1.1 million women and 1.7 million children). And in a nation where nearly 50 million Americans suffer from food insecurity annually – including 15.8 million children – SNAP benefits are tangible, direct, and life-saving. But they're already modest, averaging less than $1.40 per person per meal.
And now they're on the chopping block. Read more »
It's August in Washington, DC and Congress is out of town—but the House Ways and Means Committee wants to know what you think about additional ways to cut Social Security benefits.
Through last week, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp (R-MI) invited comments on adopting the chained CPI: a proposal that would reduce annual cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security and cut the value of benefits more and more every year. Seven thousand of you joined us to tell the Committee that the chained CPI is especially harmful to women. Now the Committee is asking for comments by August 29 on other proposed benefit cuts, including raising the retirement age and changing the benefit formula to reduce benefits.
Raising the retirement age is really just another way to cut benefits. It reduces benefits no matter when an individual claims benefits. Increasing the retirement age from 67 (the current retirement age for people born in 1960 or later) to 69 would reduce benefits by about 13 percent, whether an individual claims benefits at 65, 67, 69—or even 70.

Career Jumpstart: Win on the web!
What? You don't have a web site?
If you don't already have one, creating a web site should be at the top of a marketing plan for you and your photography business. In the case of most creatives, looking at the web for photographers' work first, has virtually replaced the 'cattle call' of portfolio dropoffs.
|Whether an art buyer at an agency or an editor at a publication, the creative will search the web for the most appropriate images for the job or story and present their selections to the client or editors for further discussions and approvals. Usually, only when the work has elicited a positive response such as: "Does the photographer have more images like these?" or "The style works for us--can we see more variety?" will contact be made and you'll be invited to submit your portfolio and samples.
On average, over 100 web sites are viewed for approximately every twenty books that are called in. So, you have your work cut out in producing a web site that will attract attention and traffic.
Define yourself
Whether you are designing your first web site or just making sure that your site is doing everything you want it to, there are a number of factors that need to be considered. Similar to the ideas discussed in Prime Your Portfolio, your online presence should show examples of your best work, tailored for your target audience. Sounds simple, right?
Well, not so fast. Are you a commercial photographer with a broad style and a few specialties, or do you want to set yourself apart with your niche work? What about your personal work and image sales, or if you are strictly a fine-art photographer? Obviously, you need to focus on your strengths and what you are marketing to whom. With your web site as your first introduction to a potential client, the appearance of your site is very important.
Make it easy--or else!
In recent studies by researchers, Internet users have been shown to aesthetically judge a web site, literally in the blink of an eye. Before you jump to the conclusion of 'I'd better go for a super design with lots of bells and whistles', consistently, the number one response from creatives in judging the success of a website is 'ease of use,' followed closely by 'quickly able to find you' and 'learn more about you and your work'.
With your web site considered your portfolio book, the creatives viewing it will very likely want to go forward and back, and even fast-forward to the end, much as they would flip through pages of your portfolio. The content of your imagery--the body of work---should have a consistency and personal style just like your portfolios that you send or carry in person. Be selective in your visual point of view; more is not always better.
Your work should show what inspires you and that your photography has staying power. Show your latest work, and update your site regularly. You'll need to decide whether your online portfolio will have an editorial slant or context, act as a sales site for your print or stock work, have a private area for certain clients including an FTP capability and perhaps a blogging facility--some or all of these will work for you.
Make sure your online portfolio, your physical portfolio book, and any marketing materials you send or leave with clients, all have a consistent vision and design, and all have your site's URL and your e-mail address clearly accessible.
At this point, unless you are especially confident in your new role as a savvy web designer, you will probably want to get your site designed by a professional. Start your research by looking for web designer credits on photographers' sites whose work and site you admire, award-winning web sites, photographers' representatives' sites, and campaigns you like. Find sites through Google searches, blogs--and very importantly, word of mouth.
Keep your budget target in mind: having your site designed can run about $2,000-4,000 (think of your design lasting two to four years) and hosting a site runs about $15-30 monthly. Since you already have decided on what work you want to show and who you are trying to reach, the next step, in your discussions with the designer, will be including topics such as the overall design concept and appearance, navigation including speed, cross platform compatibility and search engine readiness. More about that next time!

Animals are not oursto eat, wear, experiment on, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.
An average of 24 horses suffer deadly breakdowns on racetracks every week, and this number continues to grow as the reckless use of legal and illegal drugs becomes more widespread. Trainers and veterinarians frequently pump horses full of injury-masking, performance-enhancing drugs that allow horses to run with injuries that would otherwise be too painful.
The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2013 (H.R. 2012) would give the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency—the same agency that investigated Lance Armstrong—the authority to develop comprehensive rules for prohibited substances, create testing programs, and implement stricter penalties for drug violations. The bill also calls for an end to race day medication and would limit the use of furosemide (Lasix), a powerful diuretic with performance-enhancing qualities, on horses who are less than 3 years of age.
This Thursday, the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade will be holding a hearing on this critical piece of legislation. Please use the form below to send a quick note to your representative, who is one of the 25 legislators sitting on the committee. Let your representative know that you are disgusted by the rampant use of drugs in the horse-racing industry and voice your support for the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act of 2013.
Dear [Decision Maker],
Sincerely,[Your Name]
By submitting this form, you are agreeing to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal info in accordance with our privacy policy as well as to receiving e-mails from us.
Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.

I do hope you plan on doing another ST:E novel at some point soon, as you've done well so far and I enjoy your storyline.
I'm just a few weeks from finishing Book 2. I'm hoping there will be more.
or perhaps one or two Martian humans for variety's sake.
I've already included a mix of humans -- Terran, Alpha Centaurian, Vegan, Space Boomer, and maybe more. But there is at least one Martian character in Book 2.

Comments about Vinotemp VT-18TEDS 18 Bottle Wine Cooler:
It was great for our basement and the perfect size and is so quiet, we forget that its there. The downsides are that the temp is just low enough to keep the bottles cold but not chilled and the shelves are shaped in way that it isn't condusive to stacking bottles next to and on top of each other.

Rionne drops in and talks about what's new flying off the top rope, life as a pro-wreslter, shady Shibuya, gullible old ladies and movies. I swear too much and hilarity ensues.

Guest Post by: Stewart Follow @gaijinass
I finish my second glass of Glenlivet single malt, 15 years, at Hobgoblin in Shibuya and then look at my watch and it's twenty till four and I have almost an hour and a half to kill before I meet Aaron in Daikanyama to, hopefully, get drugs for tonight.
I swirl around what's left of the drink, smell it a bit and enjoy the deep, robust aromas in my nose before I swallow it all down. The finish is long indeed and I appreciate it as I check out the girl behind the bar tending to the register. She's exactly what you would expect to find in a place like this; one catering to expatriates and the people who want to rub shoulders with us. Top of her head coming right up to around my chest height, tanned, obviously Japanese, she still has jet black hair, a pretty common trait amongst the types that have gone abroad, they dye their hair less than J-girls that are still on the "native" side of the fence. She has tits and I stare at her, taking in the curves under her red polo-style work shirt which has a ridiculous looking emblem of a goblin on it, brandishing a dagger and smirking, right over her left tit. When she looks up and catches my gaze she smiles at me, so I flash a broad, genuine grin back at her and imagine my cock in her ass.
Outside on the street people flow by in the Saturday traffic. Its cold out but the wind is oddly warm, the remnants of a brutal Indian summer that didn't end till a-couple-of weeks before.
I turn left into traffic and start walking to no place in particular. I cross under an overpass and across the street to my right I see Hachiko and the Hachiko exit to Shibuya station and the entire plaza near the exit is nothing but wall-to-wall people. Despite the warm wind flowing down the streets and alleys and up out of vents on the side walk people are still shivering and I flip the collar up on my overcoat and hunch my shoulders into it as I walk. At the stop light, I look across the street to the swarms of people waiting to cross onto my side. Where are you all going? What the hell do you think the point of your life is? How many of you have ever had sex with a blood relative? Can any of you speak English? Who's not wearing panties under their skirts? What in god's sweet name am I going to get Michiko for Christmas?
Inside Tsutaya I look through racks and racks of CD's. I pick up and look at a special edition "Cold Play Christmas hits" and I get a bad taste in my mouth simply holding it so, as I turn around, almost without thinking at all I deftly drop the album into some girl's shoulder bag who is standing next to me. As the CD disappears smoothly into her bag I notice this general, overall, pudginess about her which for some reason excites me then suddenly depresses and subsequently enrages me- all within a matter of a second or two. Inspecting closer without being too obvious about things I can see it's clear that her over-ripe puffiness is made all the more obtrusive by the massive, ridiculous, Christmas sweater she has on. I sneer at her and mumble "Dopey bitch" under my breath. Then I turn and casually walk away from her.
Across the store, still on the first floor, my iphone vibrates and I absently reach into the pocket of my Burberry overcoat and pull it out. Aaron. I press the button.
"Tell me you have Drugs," I say by way of greeting.
"Tell me you just didn't say that on your cell," Aaron sighs on his end of the, um, "line"?
"Oh, I'm sorry Agent Aaron. Is the uh, government or something, tapping your phone there?"
"If this was a movie, I would tell you to use a land line. Fucking Canadian." He says into the phone, his voice somewhat muffled by back ground noise I can't quite make out.
"Where are you anyway? Are we still on for four?" I ask realizing now how desperate I am for some kind of chemical adjustment. Ecstasy, Coke, a fucking bottle of Nightquil for god's sake, anything to take the edge off.
I then spot the dumpy girl in the stupid Christmas sweater make her way to the register to check out, an arm full of CD's with titles I cannot even begin to imagine. This makes me stop grinding my teeth and inside I start to smile.
"I'm in Cohiba," I hear Aaron say and confused I snarl into the phone, still staring at the girl "You want a… Cohiba? Fine, man. We can get you that. That is gettable. Jesus I will buy you a Behike if you can simply hook up some dope for this evening. Hell, I'll buy you two."
"What? No, dumbass, I'm in Chiba. On my way back now. Jesus, Stew you need to relax. And stop saying D-words on the fucking phone, yeah? Use that Finance Manager education and intellect you've got and be smart."
I roll my eyes and cut him off. "Oh god, spare me Aaron, and don't call me Stew. I hate that shit. You know that." My eyes now closely track the dumpy shoplifter's movements as she takes her change in one hand and her plastic bag full of shitty music, a Christmas tree emblazoned on the side of it, in the other hand and heads for the exit.
"Yeah, right. Look I'm getting on a train. La Hacienda in an hour. See you then."
"OK. Hey do me a favor and don't be late?" I say but the rude bastard has already hung up so I slip the phone back in my pocket, then have second thoughts, pull it back out and click the video option on and as subtly as possible hold it up to record my little victim right as she passes in between the magnetic sensors set up in front of the doors. She moves to walk through them and a blaring, high pitched alarm goes off and the entire, packed CD store freezes and looks directly toward the exit where the goofy moron has now frozen in place; a look of utter shock, embarrassment and distress plastered on her face in the most satisfying manner possible.
A skinny, pimply-faced employee in a blue polo Tsutaya t-shirt approaches her carefully and asks to see her plastic bag and checks it thoroughly, noting that all the magnetic security devices have been removed. He then asks her, ever so politely, to go through the sensors again and yet again the squeal pierces the air telling everyone that this little happy-holiday's-munchkin is in fact, a criminal.
Awkwardly, with another customer service employee approaching, the zit faced skinny guy asks if there is "any chance" she might have "forgotten" some merchandise in her bag. The girl shakes her head "no", and I gradually zoom my video in to capture both of them, chubby the shop-lifter and pizza-face, slowly turning their heads to gaze at her shoulder bag. They stare at it heavily, intently, like it's going to jump off her arm and prance around the store doing a jig at any moment.
I move the camera from her round face with the deep red blush creepy up her neck, to his skinny, zitty face with the lock of greasy hair hanging over one eye and then to the bag. Then I zoom out slightly and wait, holding them both in the frame. A full, heavy, uncomfortable minute passes, and finally the girl hands her shopping bag to the guy and unslings her shoulder bag, glancing inside. Next, the look of abject horror that slams onto her mug is one of a kind. Obviously she sees the stolen album in her bag now, and I hold the video on her steadily, barely stifling a surprise giggle.
I zoom in on the bag slightly, and carefully film her trembling, chubby hand, as she pulls the album out and holds it up in front of her face. "Cold Play Christmas hits." It no longer matters if she stole it or if some evil fuck slipped it into her tacky bag. In the eyes of the shop staff, both staring at her but not, in the eyes of the other customers all pretending not to look at her, in the eyes of the world, she is a dirty little thief. She knows this now. We all know it.
Tears. They start by pooling in her almond shaped eyes and sit their momentarily glistening, almost puppy-like before freefalling down her burning red apple cheeks. The video loses its focus as I aggressively attempt to zoom in to the maximum level to capture her emotional collapse and this technical problem upsets me and I curse under my breath.
It's then, that I realize I am leaning forward, almost over a rack of Inca CD's, camera out, breathing erratic and heavy-completely invested in my little project and that two girls, fairly hot looking early 20-somethings with dyed hair, in jean shorts and black tights and Ugg boots and mismatched "hip" scarves and sweaters, are both staring at me with uncomfortable, slightly disgusted expressions.
I look sideways at them, then quietly snarl "Go fuck yourselves, whores," as I save the video on my iphone. Then, I walk straight up toward the exit with the Christmas criminal at it, actually smiling and winking at her as she looks toward me (For some kind of, what? Help?), stunned, her face wet, red and swollen and then I push by her rather roughly with my shoulder and walk back outside into the crowds of people as I aggressively hum "Deck the Halls" to myself and stride purposefully up Dogenzaka.

"If you want to increase your chances of success with women, create situations that lead to these situations."
David DeAngelo quote
At some point starting during the end of the Vietnam war, the United States special forces began developing a Target Acquisition system that would later go on to be used in the post 9/11 world as a valuable and hyper effective Risk Assessment tool in the war on terror. This tool is the CARVER matrix.
–Recuperability (Return)
The dynamics of this system have allowed numerous governments and agency to pre-empt attacks and identify weaknesses in their own systems. It is helping stop terrorism…
…and that's just great.
….that is not going to help you get in the panties. So, with that thought in mind, we here at Gaijinass have decided to turn our laser like intellects and the power of the CARVER matrix to the task that matters most to the people likely reading past this sentence.
Model based decision-making such as the CARVER matrix is awesome because it eliminates something that invariably screws decisions up and that's your emotions. It removes them from the situation. You might think you're smooth and have all the answers but the reality is that you don't. In fact, what little information you do have is likely counter productive, your "intuition" or "Spidy sense" as you like to call it didn't help you with that case of herpes now did it? Your defunct inner compass is why you're still booty calling that fat chick you met at the Indian Curry buffet from last Easter…and she STILL smells like curry. And that's fine because we all agree; Indian curry is awesome.
But it's time to crawl out of your gutter though and let that little light of yours shine.
Go ahead, Hold it high for all to see.
Now, for the purpose of this simulation, we are going to make a few assumptions to keep things streamlined.
Location Location Location.
It's true, this is important. Sure, you can just go wander around the grocery store and if you're there long enough at some point you will meet a sad "divorcy" buying microwave dinners and you might have a shot at a hand job in a filthy Piggly-Wiggly toilet. But if you're serious about meeting women that DON'T have a plastic appendage or HAVEN'T ever been penetrated by their "sweet lord Satan" then you need to stop hanging out on the sidewalk in front of that mental hospital waiting for someone that doesn't wear diapers.
Gaijinass currently runs operations out of Tokyo "WTF" Japan so the locations I am going to name and run through the omniscient CARVER Matrix are places an aspiring gentleman or persuasive scumbag might go to make time with a nubile young J-girl. The following locations are:
|Target Rich Locations
Based on the Matrix above (sounds fucking cool right? MATRIX) , Roppongi has been awarded the highest points for location. Let us briefly discuss why this is and the considerations made for each component within the system. And I mean briefly. For a long explanation on each component go here kids.
Roppongi is well-known as a foreign culture center in Tokyo and attracts many ex-pats nightly. This in turns attracts the Japanese women intent on meeting them. Locations to drink, socialize and drink more abound. So, for total Criticality, Roppongi received the maximum amount of possible points. It received the same for Accessibility because you could go any night of the week and there will be women drinking there that will immediately have an interest in you because you are not Japanese. Recuperability (return) scored slightly lower due to the fact that because it has this magnet like quality of foreign guys you will have competition. Although, a scimitar wielding monkey wearing a dead baby for a hat could get phone numbers, the number of women left to drag home at 4 AM will be limited. Have no fear though, by comparison, you have a much higher chance of whisking home some drunk skank there than in the other locations.
Vulnerability received fewer points, in fact the same amount as Shibuya because the level of difficulty will likely be the same and the amount of time needed to insure your one night stand will also likely be about equal. However it should be less difficult than for example Ikebukuro where you would have to go to 2 or 3 bars and then all night karaoke forcing her to miss her last train insuring she will vomit in your home toilet before passing out so you can -ahem- "pleasure" her at your drunken convenience.
Effect was high yet again because just the act of you making your sorry way to Roppongi will drastically increase your chances of mission accomplishment i.e. "Panty Droppage". Recognizability got high points because you have to be a fool to not see where you should go to talk to women in Roppongi. Unlike Ebisu for example, the girls in Roppongi are there to PARTY. They want to drink, have men buy them drinks and then probably chug some cock. The signs are easily Recognizable.
Again in this case, Model Based decision-making and its results run against many a seasoned J-girl hunters instincts. Many men here, very driven PUA (pick up artist) avoid Roppongi like the plague but most of these motivations come from emotional responses or personal biases. If those are fairly well removed its clear Roppongi is the place to go.

November 6, 2009
It was all basically an accident.
I arrived in Japan with the intention of living here in 2004. I had come in December of 2003 to see the PRIDE FC New Years eve event at the Saitama Super Arena. It rocked. Gary Goodridge knocked Don Fry out with a head kick in the first 30 seconds. The last cool thing Goodridge would ever do in his Fighting career.
I was really into MMA so I checked out the famous Takada Dojo in Meguro here in Tokyo. By checked out I mean I went and trained there a couple days. I left unimpressed. A friend recommended I go train at least once at the equally famous (in japan anyway) Ihara gym and this is where I still train, for the most part, to this day. It impressed me that much.
I am telling you all this because it should be clear that I did not come to Japan planning to teach English. Nor was I interested in temples or learning Japanese or Kimonos or Manga or whatever. I was just really into MMA and at the time PRIDE FC was THE show. UFC hadnt blown up yet. I did discover however that I liked Tokyo. It is such a dynamic city and has a vibration that I immediately connected with, so I up and moved here. I started Teaching English because I needed a Visa and the Owner of my gym said "Just go Teach English."
At the time I thought this was absurd. I didn`t even know the Japanese were learning English, and why would I?Anyway I got a job with a company and I was going to be teaching Elementary school in Minato Ku. In 2004 this all meant very little to me, I was just happy that I could stay and train and could do this without being homeless or turning tricks in a dirty bathroom someplace.
Naturally Gifted
First I think you should know that I am a natural Teacher. I have a lot of experience and I can give references.
Look the list goes on and on but I think you get the point right?
Megumi "MAD DOG" Yamada
The first school I taught at was in Odaiba. It was an Elementary school. Very few foreign people live in Odaiba (a man-made island in the middle of Tokyo bay. Weird place.) so there were no mixed kids or foreign students. In fact there wasnt a single teacher that spoke any English at all. My boss from my company took me there and introduced me and then to my horror just left. The first few days are a blur as I had no idea what to do, when to do it or with whom. I resorted to teaching basic military drill movements my first several class under the guise of it being "learning your left and right". "Snap and Pop". "Sound Off!" Keep in mind I spoke no Japanese. None. It was all going so well.
I was trying to use the online translation software "Babbel Fish" to achieve some basic level of communication but it wasnt working. I am sure the teacher was trying to ask me "At lunch time, can you eat fish?" but Babbel fish came back with "Fish it consumes a supper of Ok time?" I was fucking lost.
In the 3rd grade class this little girl was just staring at me. She just sat there in her chair glaring at me. In the lunch room (this school had one oddly enough most Japanese elementary do not.) I saw her again across the room slowly eating while MAD DOGGING me the entire time. This went on for months. Finally one day this future super model (looking at her face was like looking at a puppy dog. a very cute puppy dog.) walked up to me outside the school when I was heading to the train station. I heard the little voice behind me "Eric Sensei!"
I stopped and turned around and there she was with her little red bag pack and she was standing in a power position: feet a bit wider than normal, hands on her hips and a very serious expression on her face. Something you might call a conversation then ensued. I had learned about 10 words of Japanese in those few months and with that and gestures and more of this puppy dog face scowling at me I ascertained that she was inviting me to her house which was I also ascertained on the 40th floor of one of these big streaming steel and glasses high-rise apartment buildings which are the only domicile`s on the island. It was 3:30Pm and I declined. This did not go well. She was not happy. I was lost. This pattern continued for a long time. By the end of the year she had learned one English word real well: Stupid. She practiced it often with me when I would decline yet another invitation. To this day I have never been able to figure that little girl out.
The Kancho Incident
Kancho is this thing that Japanese kids do. I will walk you through it so put your coffee or crack pipe down and follow along.
Ok, keep the pipe, just read along.
That is Kancho. It's like a prank…although the humor or enjoyment is frankly, lost on me. But its RAMPANT at elementary schools. The Muppet Puppet foreigner, English "ALT" (assistant language turd/teacher) is no exception…in fact often its just open season on your asshole.
The thing is…"what Kancho is" or "advice on how to handle kancho" was not included in the "Things you might need to know" handbook my Company never gave me. So when I felt a hard foreign object intruding into that restricted area I naturally whirled around at top speed and my eyes took in the situation just in time for me to see the back of my right hand impact this 8-year-old boys head.
SMASH/ CUT and he is on the floor basically conscious I guess with one eye going to 3 oclock the other to midnight. Only a little blood was trickling out of his nose. His partners in crime, about 12 kids boys and girls stood in a half circle across from me with jaws on the floor. Nobody spoke for what seemed like a long time but was actually 2 seconds untill my initial response of "Fuck.me.Hard."
I dragged the kid to the nurses office where thanks to the cohorts, she was told what happened.
This became a whole "incident" and my boss had to come to the school and bow about a million times and I did my awkward foreigner bow about a million times and the Principal bowed about a million times and the kid never came near me again.
Head Teacher/Pimp
The second year I worked for that company they fired the "handler" who did a lot of the leg work going to schools and talking to people and helping us, the ignorant and troublesome teachers survive. I guess they fired him because in fact, he was incompetent. A nice guy but incompetent. Like when he failed to tell me at contract re-signing time that this year the company would NOT be paying the summer holidays. That was nice. A really nice surprise when I went to an ATM one day to pay my rent.
In his place they hired and American as a "head teacher". I will call him "Bob".
Bob had been in Japan for years. Had a Masters in Japanese linguistics or something and was basically destined to become the Companies English departments "Head Liar." This he did well. I guess liars and lies are just part of the business here so I am giving him a free-be on that score. Head liar gets a pass.
No, it wasn't the lying that bugged me but rather his continuous attempts to convince me to either appear in Homosexual pornography or to be a gay prostitute. Ole` Bob was 100% FLAME ON gay gay and lived with his Boyfriend in Tokyo. I remember the conversation pretty well.
Bob: Have you ever considered doing some acting?
Me: No that isnt my thing I dont think….why?
Bob: Oh nothing…just…I know some people who make videos. All types of videos and its an easy way to make extra cash. You should think about it.
Me: ….You mean Porn?
Bob: Yeah…
Me: ….You mean gay porn Bob?
Bob: Well yeah…but you can just masturbate on camera…alone.
Me: masturbate on cam in a gay porn flick. This is your advice….
Bob: You can totally wear sunglasses or a Mask…like a professional wrestling Mask.
Me: Wear a mask….that's your advice….
The potty mouthed fucking butt pirate. Needless to say I never made my debut. If you have read some other posts on the website you would know I am not too into being videotaped, unless I am doing the videotaping.. Extravagant photo graphs…fine…video…no. Apparently Bob is doing this regularly. A friend came to me one day and I could tell he wasn't in top form mentally and after I inquired as to why, he told me Bob had tried to recruit him for a "film role". Yeah I bet.
The Kiss of Death
All of the new "teachers" or "clowns" or "Puppets" or "assholes" had to go to the City hall to meet the god of English education one day. It was my first time to do this. I was new in Tokyo and had no idea about the trains etc. My boss had just said "hey see you at Daimon at 1000AM." Right. Daimon. 1000AM. See you. I arrived at 1020 after about 30 train changes, a series of sprints and a back flip. I saw the other teachers all looking bored standing in a line. Lots of kackies. Lots of sweater vests. Lots of ugly ties. I was wearing a pair of black slacks and a grey turtle neck sweater. I also hadnt shaved at all in about 3 months and my beard was a thing of Hemingway like pride. My boss, this little woman about 4 feet tall was wearing this quasi gothic black costume/outfit and black platform boots and she immediately started babbling incoherently as I emerged from the station sweaty and panting.
We went to the city hall where god lived and as we entered I apologized to everyone for being late and this one fellow wearing a really bad gray suit said in a booming baritone voice. "Its the kiss of Death. Being late is the Kiss of Death in Japan my friend. You had better understand that. Kiss of DEATH." I actually nodded my head and as I was about to ask who invited Sean Connery's character from "Rising Sun" here, but here he came again "And a beard…again Kiss of Death my friend. Beards are a no go. I have been here a long time and I know what the deal is and let me tell….Beard = Kiss of DEATH." By this point I was dumbfounded and simply nodded numbly. The guy next to me spoke up "Beards are the Kiss of Death huh? You're a fucking idiot. " This was Brian. I would soon learn that both "Fuck" and "idiot" were words that he cherished dearly. A Black/Jewish expert on the Hebrew version of the Bible, married to a lovely Japanese woman and I would soon find out: essentially a Narcisstic psychopath. We immediately became fast friends and are to this day.
In the meeting with some of Gods minions from the Board of Education and Mind Control, essentially only Japanese was being spoken. Myself and another "boot cherry" could understand nothing so Sean Connery, a man I would from that day forward simply refer to as "THE VOICE" cowboyed up to perform translation services. Gods Minion would talk for a few minutes then The Voice said " OK….essentially what she is saying is that at after lunch time you need to play with the kids outside during their Recess. You see it is a vital bonding time for us to connect with the children, our students, and really impress upon them that foreign people are just that…people." Brian spoke up loudly in the somewhat high-pitched, on the verge of laughter voice that he always seems to have. "What the Fuck are you talking about? That's not what she said. Fucking Idiot." The whole meeting stopped and stared. The Voice spoke. "That is precisely what she said. Look…my Japanese language skills are…" Brian again "You're a fucking Moron. She was telling us we are expected to EAT LUNCH with the students and the rooms we should eat in will alternate each day so we have a chance to visit every class. Fucking recess? She never said anything about that."
Silence. Heavy and True. The voice left it alone after that.
Ironically a few months later The Voice would be fired for first stalking and then trying to solicit sex from two of his Junior High school students.
Any Questions?
Like a new teacher would do at any school anywhere, on my first day with each class I usually introduced myself and gave a brief introduction followed by a little open Q&A with the help of the Japanese home room teacher.
It was 5th grade class at a public school in Shibuya Ku this time.
"OK…any questions?" The list was pretty basic. Do you have a girlfriend? Do you eat Sushi? Can you use chopsticks? What is your favorite color? Do you like dogs? How tall are you? Do you like Dogs? Can you eat Raw fish? Do you like Dogs? Like that.
Today would be a bit special though….the last question I took that day was from a boy. He stood up when I called on him and very clearly speaking asked in Japanese "Eric Sensei no chinchin ha nan centi gurai?" essentially "How big is your dick?" It was like a moment from BACKDRAFT as all the air in the air seemed to suck back for a split second as everyone, except me because I didn't catch it immediately, sharply inhaled. The Home room Teacher, a 30-year-old lady who was very energetic and kind, well her face went through a serious of evolutions before become a fairly neutral mask despite the red color creepy up her neck and across her cheeks. Then when the reaction came from the "has asocial death wish" kids fellow students, it came big. "What the hell?!?!" "What kind of question is that?!" "God you are dirty!" "You are always asking dirty questions!" "You are such a pervert!" One boy turned around and punched him in the stomach and then a piece of balled up paper that came from where, I dont know, hit him in the side of the head.
I looked at the Home room teacher for Clarification. She opened her mouth, then she flinched then closed her mouth, then opened it again, then tilted her head and looked at me like I was a lost doggy. Finally she just shook her head over and over and when I asked "What?" she just shook her head and waved her hand at me. The international signal for "Uh no. no no no."
Kids are so great. Full of curiosity.
I no longer teach Elementary school and I have branched out and am doing a few different jobs in Tokyo now including some writing. However I am sure the interesting events and stories will keep coming so there will probably be more of this. There is actually a lot left to tell.

Keep on Truckin' Demo
editor's review
Being a truck driver may sound exciting at first, considering the fact that you get to drive a huge machine all around the country, but the job gets rather boring after a while. In essence, having to pay attention to the road a few hours every day is not as fun as it seems, especially after fatigue kicks in and you have to work extra hard just to navigate the traffic.
Drive in a straight line for as long as you want
Keep on Truckin' works on a very simple principle and it aims to provide you with a chance to relax when you have nothing better to do, although this might not help as much either. In essence, all you have to do is to keep driving in a straight line through the desert, while trying not to touch the sand, otherwise you slow down to a crawl and won't be able to continue.
The game is basically a remake of the old classic Desert Bus, only it features some kind of truck instead. Since all you see is a steering wheel and some very dull-looking desert all around you, it may as well be a bus or anything else for that matter. Keeping the pedal to the medal is your only solution, although you reach the maximum speed relatively quickly anyway.
Stay on the track and mind the bumps
One thing that's truly annoying at the game is the fact that you can learn the entire route in about five minutes, because it is basically the same 200m stretch of road repeated ad infinitum. Not only that, but there is absolutely nothing decorating the surrounding environment, not to mention the fact that you cannot turn the truck to face the other way, or go more than five feet from the road before hitting an invisible wall.
The visual quality of the game is reminiscent of Desert Bus as well, because everything looks ancient and basic. However, this might prove to be a good thing after all, since it translates into only a few kilobytes of data anyone can download and play. Not only that, but the system requirements are incredibly low as well, which should work wonders on slower computers.
An interesting experience for when you are bored
Keep on Truckin' may have good inspiration behind it, but it's still way too simple to be fun for more than two minutes. The lack of detail in the environment and the absence of any kind of hud, or indicators about the distance driven manage to get you bored incredibly quick.

It is a fact the Israeli flag superseded the american flag at his funeral.
How do you figure? He did a good job for NYC. He was liberal on a lot of things but he understood you can't spend money you don't have.
Koch represented the Israeli lobby in the USA.
Who cares?
EVERY American should care you ZIO POS!!!
Who cares, not those who are disloyal to the USA.
I care. That was shameful. A US public servant...
no respect for the country which gave him great
Facts bother you? I believe the whole world sees their loyalty to Israel as odious and bothersome

Steven Spielberg's 'Robopocalypse' Postponed Indefinitely (Exclusive)
The DreamWorks film, with distribution from Fox and Disney, was set to hit theaters in 2014.
Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse has been postponed for an indefinite time.
The sci-fi action film from DreamWorks would have been distributed by Fox and Disney, with Anne Hathaway and Chris Hemsworth in talks to star.
Based on the 2011 book by Daniel H. Wilson, Robopocalypse would have reunited Fox and Spielberg, who worked together on 2002's Minority Report.
25 Most Powerful Authors in Hollywood No. 15: Daniel H. Wilson
Spielberg spokesman Marvin Levy said the project was "too important and the script is not ready, and it's too expensive to produce. It's back to the drawing board to see what is possible."
It's unclear what project will be next for Spielberg, whose Lincoln has earned more than $145 million at the worldwide box office and is an Oscar front-runner.
Complete List: Top 25 Most Powerful Authors in Hollywood
Some in the industry wondered whether Spielberg would want to pursue Robopocalypse after the director's 60 Minutes interview that aired Oct. 21, during which he said he could do an action film "in my sleep at this point in my career," adding, "it doesn't attract me anymore."
Robopocalypse was to be the first producing project for Tom Rothman, the former chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment -- who, months earlier, had agreed to partner with DreamWorks on the $100 million-plus production.
The project was announced in October 2010 as Spielberg's next movie after War Horse. DreamWorks picked up the book by Wilson, who has a Ph.D. in robotics, in 2009. Drew Goddard, who wrote Cloverfield as well as The Cabin in the Woods, penned the adaptation.
Production was set to begin in January 2012, but it was taken off the table after a couple of months as the filmmaker focused on Lincoln.

Have you ever wished you could submit a series of photos all taken at the same event into the one place, instead of having to split them up to suit different categories ? Well now you can. It doesn't matter whether they are black and white, HDR, photos of people, or machinery, or general views of the event. If they were taken as part of a series at the same event or place, and fit into one of our categories shown below, send them all to us. No more having to sort them into different categories, or send them to different folders, just send them all to us (all we ask is that you submit a minimum of 3 photos and a maximum of 6 photos in a series).
Submissions are accepted from only Members of the group
We accept only a series of images, the focus is on Series and not just a collection of images. The sequence of images must have an underlying visual, artistic, stylistic or subject theme, that is more focused than the general defined category.
A Series will consist of a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 individual images.
We can not accept less or more than this number if you submit less, we will request that you add more to fulfill the minimum number.
We do accept a collage or group or strip of images placed together in a single file (Image). However these must be placed in the STRIP Series Folder.
Members are allowed to submit up to 8 images per folder per day.
Kindly submit to the correct folder.
All submissions in a series must be added within 24 hours of the first submission, otherwise all your submissions in the series will be declined.
All submissions must be photography based (except for the exception of photomanipulations), and must belong to the member submitting them.

I worked at URS Corporation as a contractor (More than a year)
Never had a check bounce. I have heard that my bad experiences are do not exist in most of the company. Good way to get into Department of Energy (DOE) complex.
No accountability which causes problems in pretty much every area. Common practice to ignore rules because of schedule pressure or laziness. Constant struggle to take the extra 5 minutes to do the right thing.
Advice to Management
Hold people accountable.
