Hiking and cave explorations are the best ways to overcome the fear of heights, dark and tight spaces. Loong Wai Ting braves the little-known side of the iconic caves
"ALWAYS remember to secure your carabiners before anything else," Wan, our guide from Wira Adventure Consultant tells us before we ascend Gua Cili Padi. Just like its name, which literally means bird's eye chilli, the climb packs a punch or two, even for experienced climbers like Wan.
Slippery rocks, thick foliage and difficult terrain — these are the challenges as we haul ourselves up using ropes that are tied to trees and rocks. Luck is on our side as the weather is cooling (it rained the previous night) with wispy white clouds stretching out on the blue sky.
Not knowing what to expect, most of us pack light — just a small backpack with a bottle of water, some snacks and mosquito repellent.
As we dutifully follow our guide and trudge along the slippery and sometimes muddy path, Wan will stop now and then to make sure that all under his care are doing fine.
The path quickly turns difficult as we begin a near vertical ascent. At times we are crawling on all fours on the ground and using vines and snaking roots to pull ourselves up. As soon as we reach a somewhat flat ground, Wan happily announces that we will take a short break.
Ten minutes later, we continue with our journey. Mosquitoes are a constant nuisance. They buzz in our ears and around our bodies. Pesky insects aside, it takes us about 30 minutes to reach the mouth of Gua Cili Padi.
Inside, rock formation can be seen on every corner of the cave, which is about the size of a football field. In some parts of the cave, there are small chambers enough for a person to squeeze in for a comfortable nap.
It's quiet and the only sound we hear is the constant sound of water dripping down from the cave ceiling. The cooling and dark cave is very inviting, especially for those who seek time off from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Gua Cili Padi is only 13km north of Kuala Lumpur, just behind the iconic Batu Caves,one of the most renowned Hindu shrines outside of India.
Trekking, cave exploration and wallclimbing (there's flying fox activity too!) at Gua Cili Padi and its sister caves (Gua Anjing, Gua Ichibawa and Gua Damai, just to name a few) are actually the adventurous side of the Batu Caves that not many know of. These activities are managed by Wira Adventure Consultant, which also manages the Gua Damai Extreme Park in Kampung Melayu Wira Damai.
Our journey continues when Wan leads us into another cave near Gua Cili Padi.
Precipitous rock walls stand in front of us near the mouth of Gua Ichibawa, named after a Japanese national who found the place years ago. At the entrance, narrow-walled corridors provide the only access in and out of the cave.
Inside, we have to go down on all fours to reach the main chamber, all the while appreciating and learning about flowstone, stalactites and cave insects.
We are told that treasures that dated back to the Ming Dynasty were previously discovered in Gua Ichibawa. Archaeological discoveries such as kettle drums and axe-like tools from the Hoabinhian (between the Paleolithic and Neolithic) period were also found here.
Wan then instructs everyone to gather around and to switch off our torch lights. Seated in the pitch dark cave, we begin to understand what it's like to live in total darkness.
Instead of being scared, most of us are overwhelmed by the sense of calmness and peace.
"This is what it feels like when it's time for us to leave the world forever," he says as-a matter- of-factly. As we sit in silence, pondering his words, the clicks of the fruit bats can be heard in the far corner of the cave.
Five minutes may not be a very long time, but sitting in the dark cave, it feels as if time has stopped. As soon as Wan switches his lights on, we make our way out of the cave.
At the same time, Wan advises us not to touch anything in the cave as it will affect the precious rock formation and stalactites. He explains that heat from our hands may disrupt the formations. Besides, you wouldn't want to be responsible for breaking any of the stalactites. We're told that each stalactite that "died" as a result of human touch will take 60 years to re-grow.
Although I'm anxious about climbing Gua Damai, which is accessible through Gua Cili Padi, I'm glad that I go ahead with it.
Having climbed Gua Damai previously, I can say that the trek up is fairly easy. For an inexperienced climber like myself, the ascent is not that physically taxing, though possessing a certain strength is an added advantage.
Throughout our hike, we come across different groups of hikers. It's no surprise because Gua Damai is a popular hiking trail for both local and foreign thrill seekers.
Despite the slippery path, we troop up and down the hiking paths and trails before arriving on the summit of Gua Damai.
There are two options for us to descend, either the zig-zagging stairs or to abseil. I choose the latter and brave myself for the last descend of the day.
One by one, the members of the group abseil using ropes and carabiners that are securely fastened onto the walls. Then it is my turn. Trying hard not to look down — it's a 90m drop, by the way — I grip the rope tightly, say a little prayer, push myself off the ledge and inch my way down.
Strangers, friends, my teammates and even curious onlookers cheer and offer support from below. It helps to take some of my fear of heights away. This is the sort of camaraderie you get when you've spent a good four to five hours wading through the challenges together.
In spite of the tiring and the occasional fear-inducing experience, this is the perfect vehicle to overcome the fear of heights, dark and tight spaces.
You'll emerge a much braver person than before you start out. Like I did.
EVERY year, base jumpers from around the world take part in the annual base jump event that takes place at the Gua Damai Extreme Park.
A prelude to the annual KL Tower Base Jump event, Gua Damai is the first and only place in Malaysia, where qualified jumpers take the plunge from the height of 96m from its cliff and land on the football field nearby.
Recently, I had the opportunity to join a group of base jumpers from the United States, France, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, New Zealand, Mexico and Malaysia... just to name a few, as they prepare for their jump at the park.
Dubbed Gua Damai International Base Jump 2017, the two-day event, which is in its 10th year, attracted 110 participants from 13 countries. The event is organised by the Selayang Municipal Council with the cooperation of Wira Adventure Consultant and Tourism Selangor.
As early as 6.30am, two buses ferry jumpers from their accommodation to the base of Gua Damai near Batu Caves in Selangor. Each registered jumper is given a T-shirt, goodie bag (it contains snacks, food and drinks) and a jump passport. Before the jump, each participant must present their jump passport, which is almost like an ID card.
We then take the zig-zagging stairs up to the mouth of Gua Damai. It is a steep and rather tiring ascent. Inside the cave, one can marvel at the beautiful rock formation. Occasionally, bats, birds and other cave-dwelling creatures can be seen on the walls.
Gua Damai is a natural wonder by itself. There's a certain thrill, especially for first-timers, in climbing through the cave. Some times, you need to crawl your way through.
For inexperienced climbers, the climb can be tiring. Rest assured, there are ropes and safety harnesses on the walls for climbers to use for a safer climb.
All the participants have to haul their own gears and parachutes up the narrow and sometimes slippery path.
There are sections of the climb where you need all your upper body strength to pull yourself up. One wrong move and you'll risk slamming your entire self on the sharp edges of the limestone wall.
About 10 minutes into our caving adventure, we arrive on the other end of the cave, surrounded by lush vegetation. The trees are denser than from where we started.
Dried brown leaves cover most of our path and it can be quite slippery. Just like inside the cave, there are ropes tied to trees for climbers to use to get to the top. Another purpose of the rope is so that we won't lose our way going up and down later.
On the summit of Gua Damai, crystal quartz can be seen lining the side of the hill as we make our way to the edge of the platform where the jumpers take their leap. The climb may not be for the fainthearted but once you get to the top, it is well worth it.
As more jumpers arrive on the platform, the surrounding area can be quite packed. With the carabiner safely in locked, I find my seat on the edge of the platform, which provides a bird's-eye view of the jump.
Soon, a small crowd start to gather at the far corner of the football field below, all anticipating the first jump of the day. As the crowd point their smartphones towards the sky, curious kids from a nearby kindergarten stand by their classes' windows shouting excitedly as the first jumpers successfully land on the football field. Cheers and applause can be heard from where we are.
Seeing the base jumpers in action, it is definitely a thrill. The excitement is written all over their faces. Fuelled by high-fives and last minute checks that everything is in place, one by one, the participants jump from the platform.
A moment of panic ensued when Mexican jumper Johnny Saavedra miscalculated his jump and landed on a tree nearby. Luck is on his side as Saavedra escapes unhurt and is swiftly brought down by the rescue team on standby.
Saavedra is considered a veteran in his field, with years of experience in base jumping and has clocked over a thousand free jumps around the world. On his jump, Saavedra says: "In a situation like this, always remain calm and stay focus."
As the 59-year-old returns to the warm embrace of his anxious family, the rest of the jumpers finish their session without a hitch. Well, almost...
Before Saavedra, another jumper has also crashed into a nearby palm tree, breaking it in the process. Like Saavedra, he too escapes injury.
When the afternoon wind starts to pick up, the organiser and the rest of the jumpers agree to call it a day. Many decide to hang out at the base, taking extra care in folding the gears, while others just make themselves comfortable, resting among the rocks.
As for me, my arms and legs are aching from the earlier climb. But stimulated by the spirit of the thrill seekers, I'm itching to get on the harness again and climb to the platform to admire the view below.
Getting to Gua Damai Extreme Park is very easy via Jalan Tun Razak and then Duke Highway. After exiting from Duke Highway on your left, take the flyover in front of you and then turn right. Go through all the traffic lights and you'll see signs leading to the park. If you're unsure of the way, use traffic navigation apps like Waze or Google Map. Just punch in "Gua Damai Extreme Park" and it'll take you to its doorstep.

I took my team to the famed Falaknuma Palace in Hyderabad for a posh six course lunch. Our cab pulled onto the grounds after the ~1 hour ride from HITEC City. We were delighted to see this horse drawn carriage roll pass. Alas, it wasn't for us and I was told later that it costs 12000 rupees (>$200) to take this mode of transportation from the gatehouse to the palace.
We piled into the free golf cart that drove us to the entrance. It had the added benefit of moving fast enough to generate a cooling breeze to break the oppressive heat (>100 °F).
The dining room was tastefully decorated with small chandeliers and high ceilings.
I managed to devour all of the desserts except for a smidge of the beetroot. It was just too unusual of a flavor for dessert.
We took one last look out across the city drawing a sightline over one of the cannons.

After giving birth to a beautiful baby girl this past week, Prince William and Kate Middleton have decided to name her Charlotte Elizabeth Diana. I think that this is a very honorable name, due to the fact that 'Elizabeth' is after the queen herself and 'Diana' is after William's late mother, Princess Diana.
Charlotte is a very beautiful name. It is number one on my list. And Elizabeth is number 15ish. It's also a very beautiful name. Diana is a very nice name to. Diana is a very flowy princess sounding name. They are all very classy and elegant. And it's great that Charlottes middle names are that of her great grandmother and grandmother. Chatolotte is also a feminine version of Charles, her grandfathers name.
Yes I do like the name Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.Those are some really strong names individually and they go so well together. It's definitely a perfect name for someone being raised in such a royal family. I just wonder how did they come up with the name, which factors played a part in naming her?
Charlotte Elizabeth Diana is a suitable royal name, as it incorporates the names of the princess' Great-Grandmother, Elizabeth, her departed Grandmother, Diana. The first name Charlotte is both a feminine version of her father, Charles' name, and the middle name of her mother, Kate. Royal families tend to prefer traditional names that reference ancestry, so it seems that this name is in keeping with those values.
The name Charlotte Elizabeth Diana should be flipped: Diana Elizabeth Charlotte. This order for the names better honors Prince William's deceased mother, Diana. Great-grandmother Elizabeth and grandfather Charles can be present in the child's life. Grandmother Diana cannot be there, so the first name Diana allows the child to feel a lasting connection to her grandmother in a more intimate, daily way.

On the front nine Tuesday, Decatur's Drew Jones pulled within a stroke of first-round leader Tanner Napier and looked to be on his way to challenging for the Class 3A championship.
But as the six-and-a-half-hour round wore on, Jones' touch on the lightning-fast windblown greens slipped away until he sank a birdie on the 36th hole to finish at 9-over 81. The Decatur sophomore carded a two-round total of 156 to tie for fifth at the 3A University Interscholastic League golf championships at the Wolfdancer Golf Course at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort in Bastrop.
"Later in the day it was tougher," Jones explained. "The greens were faster and the fairways were faster. Everything got tougher.
"The first round, I felt I could make a few putts. The end of the second round I felt like I had no chance to make anything within 15 feet. It was just one of those days."
Napier was able to grind through the back nine to post a 78 that followed his first-round 71. The Paris product tied Andrews' G.K. Morrison for the top spot at 149. Morrison then beat Napier in a one-hole playoff to claim the 3A individual championship.
Andrews also claimed the team title with a 638.
Liberty Hills's Blake Elliott finished third with a 152, and Andrews' Casey Fowler was fourth at 153. Jones, who took ninth at state as a freshman, tied Carthage's Wade Davis, Argyle's Lance Roden and El Campo's Collin Quinn for fifth.
"I'm getting closer," Jones said.
The Decatur sophomore provided the tournament highlight in the first-round, acing the 153-yard par-3 sixth hole.
"It was a fancy hole-in-one," Jones said. "I tried to hit on top of this hill because everything feeds to the hole. I got the right amount of spin and it came back. I didn't see it go in. I just heard everyone yell."
Jones went on to post a 3-over round to put him four shots off the lead.
After a birdie on the par-5 fifth hole to get back to even in the second round, Jones appeared on the verge of making a charge.
Then back on the sixth hole, Jones double-bogeyed with a four-putt. He got a stroke back with a birdie on seven, but had bogeys on eight and nine. He posted a 40 on the front nine.
Jones had three straight bogeys to open the back nine. He said he thought he had a chance to contend until that "bogey streak" around the turn.
"A lot of it was in my head," he said. "You live and learn."
The slow pace of the round didn't help. The final group had to wait throughout the round. The front nine took more than three hours to complete. After starting the round at 1:20 p.m., the group didn't finish until 7:50.
"I hate waiting. It's tough to play when you're waiting on every hole and every shot," Jones said. "You sit there and start getting tight again. I wasn't hitting it well so that didn't help."
Jones also was battling a bug during the round. The day after the tournament, he was diagnosed with strep throat.

KwaZulu Natal DestinationsUmzumbe, South Coast
The cosy little hamlet of Umzumbe lies between the Umzumbe and Ingambili Rivers, just 5 kilometres south of Hibberdene and 100 kilometres from Durban.
The village itself is almost blanketed in a wild dune forest, access to its unspoilt beach is easy, and it offers a slice of the paradise that is this part of the coast. Life here is languid, relaxed and typical of the Hibiscus coast - one comes here to slow down and enjoy the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, ones day governed only by the rising and setting of the sun and little else.
Spearfishing is popular in Umzumbe as the Umzumbe point is the most prominent tip south of Hibberdene - a prime area for garrick and brusher; and the shallow reefs northwards in the bay moving up towards the river open up on to a rocky shore that is ideal for big rock lobster. But if leopard crawling on the sands of the ocean doesnt grab you, then snorkelling, water-skiing and surfing might.
The Wild Coast Sun casino is just a 45 minute drive from here, if you must have a break from the seashore, and there is access to no fewer than seven golf courses including: the Wild Coast Country Club, the Umdoni Park Golf Course, the Selborne Golf Resort in Pennington, Port Shepstone Country Club and the Margate Country Club - many a golfing fanatic heads this way purely because the sublime weather allows one to play throughout the year.

How To Date And Stay Abstinent
Due to personal choices, you may want to know how to date and stay abstinent. While it may seem hard at first glance, being celibate and having a girlfriend can go hand in hand. With good planning and the right mindset, both you and your girl can wait to have sex.
- Have a firm conviction. There must be a reason why you want to stay abstinent while dating. If you are sure this is the path you want to take, have a firm conviction. If you waver, all the plans in the world won't stop you from being tempted to have sex.
- Make sure your girl is on board. If you are the one wanting to date and stay abstinent, make sure your girl agrees. If you're seeing a woman who wants to jump your bones every time you're together, this may not be the ideal relationship. Should your girlfriend be the one asking to wait to have sex, can you agree to her demands?
- Plan your dates. Your chances of success increase if you carefully plan out the time you and your girl spend together. Remaining abstinent while dating requires forward thinking and good planning. Do activities that keep your clothes on! Forget swimming at the lake and don't get into a hot tub together. Make sure you meet in public places and spend quality time that does not induce sexual feelings.
- Have little or no physical contact. Every man and woman has the ability to feel sexy, but horniness is increased through physical contact. If you want to date and stay abstinent, limit the physical contact. Don't put yourself, or your girl, in an awkward position by engaging in long make-out sessions. If you're sure you want to stay abstinent, you'll be taking a lot of cold showers and spending many nights alone.
- Take cold showers. The old rumor says taking a cold shower helps when you are dating and trying to stay abstinent. The truth is, stepping into a cold shower will surprise your senses and keep sexual thoughts at bay. However, you're sure to feel the urge again. In the meantime, a cold shower can help, but it is not the be all, end all for a horny guy.
- Masturbate. The best way to date and stay abstinent is to masturbate. Take care of yourself on a regular basis, and especially before any dates with your girlfriend. If you satisfy yourself, it can be easier to date and be celibate. The caveat is that you cannot spend all your time with yourself; make sure to get enjoyment from spending time with your girl, too.

text: Moon May Once Have Hosted Water Study undermines theories of its creation By Matt Cantor, Newser User Posted Feb 18, 2013 12:08 PM CST 11 comments Comments The moon appears to have once hosted water. (Shutterstock) (Newser) – Scientists' theories on how the moon developed may not hold water—because it seems that the moon itself once did. That's what researchers are saying after new analysis of Apollo mission moon rocks, the Los Angeles Times reports. The widely-accepted story is that the moon is the result of debris from Earth, knocked off after the planet was hit by a Mars-sized object. But heat involved in the process would have made the moon an extremely dry place. Previous signs of water on the moon, found in glass beads, were thought to have come from elsewhere. But a new study of the rocks finds a lot more water than expected—about 6 parts per million. The researchers say this could be "native" water, the result of an ancient magma ocean on the moon. "It opens up quite a mystery as to how the moon came through what we think was a very hot genesis process with this much water," says an outside expert. That water could also aid future people who arrive on the moon for a "more permanent" stay.

I chained Emily to and gagged her so I could fondle her. Good idea? I think so.
French maid Paris gets tied up and XXXX by a masked man.
In this video I tried something completely different. I had Paris Kennedy and Isobel Wren strip completely naked. I then put handcuffs on both of them and locked them in a dog cage for one full hour. I left them room for that hour so they were completely alone (I was able to hear them from the next room, so I could have let them out if there was an actual emergency). There was nothing staged about this video and the girls were not given instructions on what to do in that hour. I was very curious to see what would happen and I hope you are too.
Because of the extreme length of this video, the video file is not in full 720x480 resolution like the rest of the videos. I compressed the video to 428x240 resolution so you wouldn't have to download a several GB file. It still looks good and is definitely worth watching. If you like this video and want to see more like it, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and let me know.
This clip features Martina Warren (2005 Penthouse Pet of the Year) and Charlie Laine (February 2006 Penthouse Pet of the Month). In what may be my favorite clip, I fondle the hell out of these two Penthouse Pets. They start off the video wearing handcuffs, ankle restraints, and ballgags.
I chained Emily Addison to a chair and played with her tits.
I don't normally stretch a series out for five videos, but these girls are super hot and Alexis definitely won't be agreeing to do any more videos so I wanted to get one last video in before I let these girls go. In this one I have the girls laying in bed in their panties. Both girls are handcuffed to the top left bed leg and both girls have one leg chained the the bottom right bed leg. I then chained each girls free leg to the bed leg on the other side of the other girl so their lower bodies are tightly intertwined and pressed together. I barely touch the girls at all in this one and opt instead to pan around quite a bit getting lots of different shots of these girls hot young bodies.
I knew Isobel was a kinky girl. When I did a shoot with Isobel I mentioned to her that I would be doing one with Candle Box later that day. She asked if she could stop by and XXXX her! Isobel was NOT paid for this scene, she showed up and did it because she wanted to. Candle didn't object either, but I usually keep girls gagged to make sure they don't.

Ok... if I know ssid default gateway etc... is there a command I can use to set these and create a wireless network to an accsess point?
Did someone piss in the gene pool?
sorry about the stupid and vauge question...
im trying to set up a connection from my wireless car to my accsess point. I used
iwconfig ap (mac address of accsess point)
shows some info...
IEE002.11b ESSID '(accsess pont name)'
it shows it mac address and link quality as 100/100 also a signal level
so I thought this would mean there was a connection? but no... maybe there is a connection to the accsess point and not the internet?
Any help would be great.
iwconfig ap (mac address of accsess point)
Never mind I got it...
Looked around the manual
when I used the pump command nothing worked
I used pump -i wlan0
and hey presto internet!

Ben Schwartz plays Clyde Oberholt, a slick and ambitious corporate climber on Showtime's critically acclaimed freshman comedy series "House of Lies," a raunchy, no-holds-barred satire that hilariously taps into the discontent felt across America towards corporate big business.
Alongside the show's leading man Don Cheadle and co-stars Kristen Bell and Josh Lawson, the tight knit team of four (called a "pod" on the show) are morally questionable management consultants (i.e. corporate con artists). They are on a daily mission to fill their coffers while screwing over the rich and powerful in boardrooms across America. "It's the one percent sticking it to the one percent," said Schwartz with a smile, referencing one of the show's tag lines.
It is a change of pace from Schwartz's recurring role as the cocky but inexplicably likeable Jean-Ralphio on NBC's "Parks and Recreation." As the actor explained in a video chat with Gold Derby, Clyde is the more calculating and ambitious of the two, because he "would do anything in [his] power and screw over anybody in the world to get exactly where he is."
"The most fun for me is when all four of us are doing stuff together," he added, referencing what has become the highlight of "House of Lies" — the pod sparring together with raunchy rapid-fire dialogue in outrageous situations that are played for as many laughs as possible. Looking back over the show's first season, his highlights include the second to last episode ("Business") as well as one from earlier in the season ("Utah"), in which Clyde has a fling with a local Mormon woman, featuring some of the more risqué scenes from the show to date. "It's always weird when you have a sex scene, or a semi-sex scene, because, you don't want to be running around naked, and no matter beautiful or amazing the woman is, it's so awkward, as you're in your boxers and she's wearing a tiny little thing to cover herself."
Will Ben Schwartz win Best Comedy Supporting Actor for "House of Lies"?

Schwartz also reminisced about his surprise Emmy win in 2009 for co-writing Hugh Jackman's song and dance opening number from the 81st Annual Academy Awards (along with William Ross, John Kimbrough, Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab), and even walked us through his apartment to reveal where he keeps his treasured Emmy (that would be in a kitchen cabinet).
That year, the Outstanding Music and Lyrics category was included in the live Primetime Emmy Awards telecast, perhaps because producers thought the "Motherlover" song from "Saturday Night Live" (written by nominees Justin Timberlake, Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, Andy Samberg, Asa Taccone and Drew Campbell) stood a good chance of winning. Upon hearing Jimmy Fallon announce their names, Schwartz recalled how terrified he was standing up on stage, as co-writer (and creator of NBC's "Community") Dan Harmon accepted the award. "All you see is me freezing [up there] … and I just smile like an idiot."

Light Painting – Pixelmator Tutorial
I really like to use Pixelmator and these new features, especially the Polygonal Lasso Tool, it makes the process much easier. As I've been writing here, every time I use Pixelmator I get really impressed with how fast is it, using filters like Gaussian Blur and other blurs is much faster and pleasant than Photoshop.

The executive council of Kurukshetra University (KU) has passed its budget for 2013-14 after making amendments to its balancesheet as per instructions from the Haryana finance department.india Updated: May 23, 2013 19:21 IST
The executive council of Kurukshetra University (KU) has passed its budget for 2013-14 after making amendments to its balancesheet as per instructions from the Haryana finance department.

The council, in its meeting on Tuesday chaired by vice-chancellor Lt Gen (retd) DDS Sandhu, decided to give a minority status to Guru Harkrishan Sahib Khalsa College, Panjokhra Sahib, as per directions of the government. The Government College for Girls, Ambala, was provided provisional affiliation to the KU.
A total of the other and 63 items were listed for discussion. The council approved extension of Prof Girish Chopra as dean, academic affairs, for one year.
The university disaffiliated the Shree Ram Institute of Business Management Studies at Urjani village in Yamunanagar district for irregularities and imposed a fine of Rs 2 lakh on Metis Degree College, Anta, Safidon, for repeatedly violating university norms.
The services of 16 assistant professors recruited in 2012 were confirmed. The promotions of seven associate professors as professors under the Career Advancement Scheme (CAS) were approved.
The council decided to create a post of translator or sign language interpreter for helping deaf and dumb students. The qualifications of junior engineer (electrical and transport supervisor) were also approved.

out of 100
Metascore®Generally favorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
J. Michael Straczynski's disjointed script manages to ring false at almost every significant turn (Collins' psychiatric-hospital stay has grown into a latter-day version of "The Snake Pit") and Clint Eastwood's ponderous direction -- a disheartening departure from his sure touch in "Letters From Iwo Jima" and "The Bridges of Madison County" -- magnifies the flaws.
Read Full Review
The trouble with Changeling is that it plays less like reality than like a bare-bones, moralistic rehash of other, better movies, such as "L.A. Confidential" or "Frances."
While the neo-Gothic tale is inherently intriguing, the film should inspire strong emotion, but deliberate pacing and a contained sense of melodrama make it a surprisingly passive experience.
Jolie, Malkovich and Geoff Pierson, as a lawyer who takes Collins' case before the Police Board, are very good at what they do very well. The film's most riveting performance is by Jason Butler Harner as the murderous Gordon Northcott.
In Changeling Eastwood continues to probe uncomfortable subjects to depict the individual and even existential struggle to do what is right.

Iffy for 16+
Suspenseful, overlong drama isn't meant for kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this 1920s-set drama recounts real-life events that could be quite disturbing to children and young teens. It examines the disappearance of a young boy who was likely murdered; some upsetting scenes show what might have been his ghastly misfortune. There are some gory images, and wrongfully imprisoned women are treated very badly in a psych ward. Authority figures are unreliable and commit betrayals, and there's some mild swearing (including a few uses of "f--k") and period-accurate smoking.
Messages: A serial killer is on the loose, but nobody discovers his grisly misdeeds until it's far too late and many lives have been lost. A mother is clearly loving but leaves her 9-year-old alone in the house when a work emergency arises. Corrupt cops take advantage of defenseless women. Ultimately, a defenseless woman manages to tap into a deep well of courage and seeks justice. There's a very loving, close mother-son relationship.
Violence: A few gory moments, including one scene in which a murderer has blood spattered on his face, presumably because he's in the middle of a heinous crime. Women are wrongfully imprisoned in a psych ward, where they're physically forced to take medication, asked to sign documents incriminating themselves, slapped and dragged, and given electroshock therapy for insubordination. A confession scene includes stomach-turning images and descriptions. Machine guns are fired. An execution by hanging is shown from beginning to end. Loud confrontations between a criminal and the mother of one of his victims.
Sex: Mild flirting.
Language: Mostly tame, with words like "damn" and "hell," though the words "son of a bitch" and "f--k" are used in a few instances.
Consumerism: Brands and signage for Pacific Telephone & Telegraph, Bummy's Diner, KGF News Radio, Colgate, and more.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Lots of period-accurate smoking. Some characters are forced to take tranquilizers against their will.

Kent petrol station worker dragged by car
A service station worker has been carried for half a mile on the bonnet of a car he tried to prevent from leaving after it filled up with fuel.
Police said the 58-year-old attempted to stop the small dark saloon from driving off from the Texaco on London Road in West Kingsdown, Kent on Wednesday.
The man eventually fell off the bonnet.
He was taken to King's College Hospital in London where police say he is in a critical condition.
A Kent Police spokesman said a man and a woman were believed to have been in the car, which did not stop.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened at about 14:15 BST.

You better get out the Aluminum foil for your head because the article is for people who believe the governments dont have a way to view ALL data from virtually every device including the I-Phone.
Encryption is not hack free and if you have a free minute do a search for applications the governments use called SIMS. Also the carriers do store ALL text, email and data messages into and out of a cell phone. The article points out the difficulty a general user would have and is designed to sell magazines.

The title pretty much says it all, but if I do happen to actually lose the weight I want to before my wedding in January, how many sizes do you think my size 14 Mori Lee 5108 could be taken in? (Also, just to be sure, a 14 to a 12 would be one size right?)
(I kind of posted this before but I think because I was too rambly – bad habit of mine! – that it got confused and people thought I was asking if I could lose the weight)

|Day at the Beach
Credits: blog.firstvacationrental.com
It was a beautiful morning, of course it should be, cause all of us were very excited. Finally the D-Day had arrived. After postponing our trip for like 4times, we were finally going to Talkadu.
Early in the morning we got up, met near our college and left for Talkadu. It was too good to be true actually. We were 10 of us, comprising of 2 couples and 6 singles. We left the last seats for the couples so that they can romance, while we 6 occupied the front ones. All throughout the way we sang, danced, teased each other, fought, flirted and what not.
After a two and half hour enjoyable journey, we reached our destination. Our excitement increased much more as we saw the water. At once we took our bags and dashed for the changing rooms.
And that's when it all happened. We all had got shorts or 3/4th along with short tops, but none of us had waxed. We looked at each other and sighed. My friend looked into the mirror and said, "I wish I had opted for my hair removal", and at once four approvals followed along with our comments added to it.
The committed ones were worried because they wanted to look perfectly good to their guys, while we single girls were worried that our plan of impressing someone at the beach is going to fail. But we had no other option. So we took our bags, and went out just to see that the guys were busy discussing something. As we got near, we heard what they were saying and we couldn't help but giggle.
The two guys with girlfriends were cleanly shaved, while the other three had not. Till then they had not bothered about it, but as soon as they saw the girls out there, their inner animals came out.
They were saying something like, "Dude you could have at least remembered us right?", while another was like, "You already have girlfriends, its us who are looking and yet you guys are looking good with that shaved face, I hate you man", and we girls simply passed them as we pretended we didn't hear it because they'll feel embarrassed, and as we had guessed, as soon as they saw us they all became silent, and moved with us to keep our bags and get into the water.
As we got into the water, we forgot everything, all we knew was that WE WERE IN WATER, and that was more than enough for us. We splashed water on each other, we held hands as we all dipped in and tried to see who will stay under water the longest, we had a water fight, we sang in water, we danced, we shouted, all in all, we enjoyed a lot.
The best part of all of it was when we floated. Not many of us knew swimming, so those who knew were helping us out. Here also we left space for the couples to enjoy, as we six acted like the craziest freaks in this world. The guys helped us to swim and float.
One of the guys, held us one by one as we lay in his hand backwards and floated. He taught all the three of us by moving round and round as we lay there. And once he left us, we were floating by ourselves, we didn't need any support. So, that's how we were made to learn floating. Romantic right? Who said only couples can romance?
Then before leaving for our lunch, and leaving this place, we all decided we will all hold hands and form a circle as we all float. And we did that. We attracted a lot of public attention as we were doing it, and we enjoyed it to the utmost, finally it was a success. We made a perfect circle with all of our hands interlocked with each other as we floated.
That's when a girl came towards us, she was of our age, and she seemed to move towards my friend who taught us all to float, he was the one who actually helped all of us to get a perfect circle. She looked interested in him, she came smiling, and once she saw him with face full of mustache and beard, her smile faded and so did she as she walked away.
He frowned as we all laughed at him, and he got up angry and said, "Damn it man! I wish I had shaved".
And that's how the fun-tastic day ended for us.

Treatment for heart pain depends upon the underlying cause. Some of the most common treatments for heart pain include medications, such as artery relaxers, blood thinners, acid-suppressants or clot-busting drugs. Other treatments for heart pain include surgery, balloons and stents, dissection repair and lung re-inflation, according to Mayo Clinic.
Artery relaxers, such as nitroglycerin, can help blood to flow more easily through narrowed arteries. Blood pressure medications work in a similar way and can also reduce heart pain caused by blood constriction, according to Mayo Clinic. Similarly, clot-busting and blood-thinning drugs can help dissolve blood clots preventing blood from reaching the heart. If stomach acid moving into the esophagus is the cause of the chest pain, acid-suppressing medications may be useful for reducing stomach acid levels.
If chest pain is a result of a blocked artery, a doctor may remove the blockage by opening a balloon within the artery, and in some cases a stent is utilized to keep the artery open. As a more invasive procedure, bypass surgery involves taking a piece of blood vessel from another part of the body and creating an alternative route for blood to flow, according to Mayo Clinic. Surgery may also be required to repair aortic dissection, a life-threatening condition that can cause heart pain. If chest pain is due a collapsed lung, a physician inserts a chest tube into the chest to re-inflate the lung.

Testimonials by state
Read testimonials from our "out of town" patients by clicking on one of the states below..
Testimonials from outside of the US
E-mail us with your questions and concerns along with some digital photos of the areas in question (including photos with arms at your side, as well as some goal photos – photos of the look you desire). Dr. Pousti will review your e-mail and photos and discuss your options with you either via e-mail or phone. At this time, we will also be able to give you a price for your procedure. Please note, Dr. Pousti offers complimentary consultations via email and for consultation by phone, there will be a $100-$200 fee (depending on how much information needs to be reviewed) that will be applied to your surgery when you decide to proceed. While phone consults are important, we have also found email alone to work well for our overseas patients, under the proper circumstances. You will be provided with a surgical assessment and preliminary plan of treatment (please note in certain circumstances your final assessment may require a phone call with Dr. Pousti for the most accurate information). Our office does provide financing options for our patients and would be happy to review those with you.
If after speaking with Dr. Pousti you decide that you would like to proceed, a few e-mails will take care of the rest of the information that we will need. E-mail your personal information along with the dates that will work for you. Once the surgery date and pre-op date (usually a day or two before surgery) have been confirmed by both parties, payment options will be discussed (payment is due 4 weeks prior to the procedure to reserve the time at the surgery center). Payment can be in the form of cashier's check or credit card.
We can give you information regarding hotels accommodations, nurses to help after the surgery, etc..so that everything is settled before you arrive. When you arrive for your pre-op visit, we will have paper work for you to review and fill out. Dr. Pousti will perform a thorough examination and discuss everything in great detail with you. If at the time of your visit Dr. Pousti decides that you would not be a good candidate for the surgery, your payment will be returned to you and surgery will not be performed.
Dr. Pousti strongly recommends that patients stay in San Diego for a minimum of 5-7 days after surgery (different procedures require different lengths of time and we can discuss your specific situation when the time comes). Our office staff will work around your schedule to get you into the office for your post-op visits. We ask that you keep in contact with us via e-mail and if you return to the greater San Diego area, please pay our office a visit (we love to see our patients as often as possible).
If you are traveling alone, you will need someone to help you after surgery. We can arrange for someone with experience to be with you for the first couple of days. Just let us know that you will be needing this service.
If you want an attentive, knowledgeable surgeon that's also a "good guy", look no further. Additionally, Dr. Pousti is skilled in his field…. all this with a kind, welcoming staff. What more can a person ask for??
Thank you all for your help and compassion from another happy client!
Head and shoulders above the norm!
Everything about my appointment exceeded my expectations. Lets be honest this is one of the busiest and skilled Plastic Surgeons in the country and any information and recommendations from him is valuable. I have never traveled to a different state and felt as comfortable and happy as I did after leaving Dr Pousti's office..This is an honest review and just my own personal opinion..If you are planning on having a Breast Augmentation, thigh lift or any type of procedure chose a surgeon wisely. If I could do it all over again I would have planned and took the time to fly to La Mesa California to take care of things…Not only would I have this spectacular surgeon and staff by my side, San Diego was truly a fabulous experience and mini break! Do not hesitate to fly out for a few days and make it a fun little vacation as well…It was worth it!!!!!! DO IT!
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:

Post op 595 HP unders with internal revision. Here is a link to the review of my first doctor. http://www.realself.com/review/plastic-surgery-nothwest-spokane-wa-breast-implants-ba-475-hp-muscle.
Very intelligent! Comforting and charismatic. A true master of his trade. It's hard to put into words just how amazing he was from start to finish, but my life is better after having met him.
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:
Wow. Just wow. Im living in dubai and i flew to london first for a consultation and walked out knowing something didnt feel right. So i kept researching and came across dr. Pousti. And what a god send he was. So so happy I kept looking. From the pre op session with daisy who was amazing and gave me so much info and made me feel so comfortable. Plus they let me talk to someone who was back in after 10 days for a check up. Was so great to talk to someone who jusy went through it.
The communication was on point considering i was in dubai and its been amazing ever since with constant check ups from the nurses as they found my number at the hotel. They literally go the extra mile. Im only 2 days post op it does hurt and i am in a little pain but the pills prescribed really help and put you to sleep so you sleep well. Cannot be more happier. Honestly. 10/10. Thank you a million dr. Pousti and team. Will keep posting further down the track for those who would like to know more.

I had my first BA in November 2011 performed by another PS. I was satisfied with the "natural look" at the time but as time progressed I wanted something more. After 8 months of research and deliberation I decided on revisionary ba with capsuloraphy. Every review I found about Dr. Pousti led me to him. This made my decision even more difficult because I love in East Texas and he's in California. All I can say is it was well worth the trip . From my initial email just inquiring for information to the scheduling, pre-op upon my arrival, surgery and post-op care. Everything was absolute top notch. Dr. Pousti listened to my goals and concerns and followed through to provide me with amazing results.
My interest in BA revision was because I desired a more "perky", round, full and more upper pole look.
Dr. Pousti recommended the internal sutures (capsulorrhaphy) as well in order to support the larger breasts. I also went from silicone to saline on order to achieve the large and round breast I desired.
My recovery so far has been fairly easy. Much easier than I expected. My BA was performed on Wednesday afternoon. When i awoke after the surgery I felt better than I did after my first BA procedure. After my first procedure I felt like there was an elephant sitting on my chest. It I didn't feel that way at all this time. I was sore days 1 and 2. Day 2, my husband and I went out to dinner. By day 3, we went around town and out to lunch and dinner. By day 5, I felt good enough to spend most of the afternoon at the San Diego zoo. My recovery has been very smooth this far.
Dr. Pousti and his staff are wonderful. It was comforting meeting the OR nurse that would be in the OR with me at my in office pre-op appointment. Dr. Pousti made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I am just now 1 week post-op and his office has called everyday except Sunday to check on me. I would highly recommend Dr. Pousti.
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:
Dr. Pousti is everything I wanted in a plastic surgeon. I started my search online and Dr. Pousti definitely lives up to his reviews. I came from outside the country his office staff were extremely accommodating to all of my needs. I wanted to go larger than the existing silicone implants I had and went with overfilled saline implants. He listened to exactly to what I wanted to have done and I am extremely pleased with my results.
The office and support staff are extremely professional. His pricing and costs are terrific. I would recommend Dr. Pousti to any friend or relative without hesitation. If I have a need for more cosmetic surgery in the future, I will defiantly return to Dr. Pousti without hesitation. If you are looking for a skilled cosmetic surgeon that you can feel safe with, I definitely recommend Dr. Pousti.
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:
Today I am exactly four months post op from my tummy tuck. I couldn't be happier with the results. I love it!! Dr. Pousti and his staff have made this experience enjoyable, if one can say that about major surgery.
Background: I turn 50 tomorrow. I had two c-sections in my twenties, but had always been thin. But, as the years passed, and as my weight began to fluctuate I develop this "flap" that was really affecting my ability to wear certain items that I had always taken for granted. I started to feel fat. Then as I would lose weight, this flap, this ridge, would never go away. So….about four years ago, I started investigating my surgical options.
I googled "Best Board Certified Plastic Surgeons" and +"San Diego." I stared at the top of the list and over the next two years I consulted with three physicians. I selected physicians in La Jolla because I thought, "You have to go to where the money is at." Well, they were all technically capable of doing the surgery, but I still wasn't satisfied for whatever reason. It was in December 2013, while I was shooting footage for a major daytime talk show, that I was over the top and done with my gut. If I didn't like what I saw on the small screen, imagine what I looked like on someone's 52-inch high definition television! So, I started researching again. And, again this Dr. Pousti located in La Mesa kept coming up, I had looked at his website no less than 20 times, and I knew I was doing myself a disservice if I didn't at least meet with him. See, the thing is, I have a natural distrust of doctors, I've literally been at death's door due to negligence. And, what saved me was my instincts. I'm not saying the others I consulted with would be negligent, what I'm saying is that I have to "feel" good about the doctor as a person, and that I can trust them with my life. Otherwise, I really have no respect for the M.D. status.
Well, I met with Dr. Pousti. Finally, who is equal parts doctor and human. LOL I love this man!! He is an artist, and for me a godsend. At my first consultation, I was placed in a room, and when he came in, we just talked. I told him what I wanted done, and if a tummy tuck is the best option to get rid of the flap. He took the time to actually have a conversation with me about my concerns and was prepared to answer any question I threw at him about himself. He did not come in, look at my body, tell me, "Oh yea, we need to get rid of that," mark up what he could do, and leave me to his assistant. He shared with me who he was, as a person, about his family, his background, etc. I didn't have a lot of questions about the procedure as I had already done the research and watched the surgical videos.
I just had to determine whether I liked him, and if I felt like I could put my life in this guy's hands. When I left that initial appointment, I knew that I was going to let him do the procedure. I was schedule for another appointment the following week. It was at that appointment that I scheduled my surgery. It was for three weeks later.
During the next three weeks I had a few pre-op doctors appointments. Finally the big say arrives. Everything went smoothly, and before I knew it was I was waking up.
The next few weeks were interesting. Dr. Pousti had installed a pain pump, so between that, the Oxy, and the Valium, I wasn't feeling any discomfort. I had a few scary moments when I was coughing, trying to clear my throat. But, it was because I was afraid that I might experience intense pain should I start coughing. I didn't. I started taking stool softeners on day two, so I had no problems there either.
On day two, Dr. Pousti paid me a house call. A house call!! He showed up with his gorgeous wife, and flowers. He checked me out, and said I was doing well.
On day four, I stopped taking the Oxy. I was tired of the drugged feeling. However, I continued the Valium for another two – three weeks. On day seven, the pain pump was removed. Didn't feel a thing,
On day 14, the drains came out. The drains are necessary, but a pain in the ass. And, as I got closer to that two week post op appt, I was ready for them to come out. They had become slightly uncomfortable and irritating. They gave me a local where the drains were coming out. The feeling taking them out was weird, but not painful.
Once the drains were out, I felt like I had a new life. I was so happy, and excited.
The next few weeks, due to having to stay bent over, my back was killing me. Gawd!! It really was painful. The most pain I experienced with the whole thing was the back pain. And, this was with me using a walker. The main issue I had was my lack of energy. It took a full 8 – 10 weeks before I felt I was back to normal. It took about 12 weeks or so before I could completely stretch out in the bed. I'm currently 4 months post-op to the day. I'm feeling fabulous, I look great again (in a bathing suit, and my clothes), and I'm no longer self -conscious about the fat flap.
During those initial pre-op appointments, I told Dr. Pousti that I needed my body back in time for my 50th birthday celebrations in Jamaica. Well…as I type this I'm on my flight to Jamaica. And, I couldn't be happier with the results. I can not recommend Dr. Tom Pousti enough. He will always be the guy who gave me my body back, and for that I'm eternally grateful. Oh yea…I must give a special shout-out to Daisy. All of the girls in the office were nice, but Daisy, made me feel special. I will always appreciate her kindness and care during my pre and post op appointments.
1) DON'T BE A HERO!! Get ahead of the pain!! Start taking the pain meeds immediately, and keep taking them until you think you're good to go. Meaning, you feel like you don't need them. You'll know.
2) Hire a nurse for the first day. I had one for the first two days. I viewed it as necessary, and I'm glad I had Gloria there for me.
3) Get the walker!!
4) Get some cheap tank tops and wear them under the compression garment.
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:
I flew in for surgery so I had my pre-op the day before surgery on the 18th May. I shared my concerns and desires with Dr Pousti. I wanted a internal bra and an increase of volume to around 2000-2200cc.
Next day came around quick early start had to be at the surgery centre at 5.45am, so my family dropped me off. Dr Pousti came for a quick visit to go over the pros and cons for this type of surgery. Surgery started at 7.00am and around 10.00am I was calling for my family to come and pick me up, they were already there waiting for me. I felt pretty good not much pain to start with. The nurse wheeled and helped me into our huge hire car.
The next day I was pretty sore from the internal bra so I had to have the pain killers I didn't need the muscle relaxers. And for a couple of days I needed the nausea pills. With the pain killers block you up so you need to get some stool softeners. Day 3, I went back to Doc office and Dr Pousti said everything looks good. I did ask him about the size of the shells and he put in 650 shells overfilled to 2030cc, he said that the 800 shells would have been far too big for me and I would have had uni-boob problems. I came back on day 7 just to make sure everything was ok and I got the all clear to fly to Honolulu with my family. I took pain meds on the plane just to make sure I didn't suffer. At this stage I was only taking one pain pill per night. We relaxed in Honolulu for another 10 days which was very nice.
I am now back home (3 weeks post op) still slow but getting much better. Looking forward to taking off the medical bra and bolsters. I will not post any photos until I can take these off. You can have a look for me on Dr Pousti website, its says that I am 41 from Oakland New Zealand as there are photos already there and I will be sending him updates at one month, three months, six months and a years time. I cant wait until six months time to see when they have settled to see a more final result. Many thanks to Dr Pousti and his team of staff.
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:
Hello, to all of you who are considering a breast revision with Dr. Pousti – Long Story Short: "You are in good hands!"
Here is my journey that I would like to share with you all. I had a breast lift in 2011 with a plastic surgeon in Illinois. I wasn't pleased with the result and after that I had another breast lift (3 months) after the first surgery, in order to correct the initial procedure. I end it up with very undesirable results; with my breast falling under my armpits and implant malposition – so my nipples where to high and could not be covered up in any bra. The two surgeries and their subsequent, sub-par, outcome had negative physical and mental, effects! Apart from "Hating the way my breasts looked" large scars, infections, sagging, nerve damage, a trip to the emergency room, I also developed a mental depression, started having marital issues, loss of sex drive and more! After the second failed, surgery I started to search for another Plastic Surgeon and after year and a half I decided to fly for my surgery to Dr. Pousti in California. After years of research, I found him, his website, testimonials to be above any other! After exchanging several emails and phone conversations, I knew I found the right person!
So, journey starts here… We wrote emails to each other with photos, my questions and any concerns, Dr. Pousti talked to me over the phone, as did the amazing women who worked there and gave me all the answers before I visited with him.
I flew from Illinois and stayed in Holiday Inn, about a mile from the hospital where I had surgery the next day. Hotel was good, clean, had a swimming pool so you could relax and also a 7/11 twenty feet form the hotel. The next day I went for the first consultation with Dr. Pousti. Helen greeted me with a warming hello and asked me to fill up some papers. While filling out the paperwork, I was able to help myself to a bottle of water plus an apple – they were just sitting in the waiting area in a basket, along with other refreshments, for all to enjoy.
I was very pleased with the way the staff treated me. I was treated like a person, and not like a number! The staff gave me as much time I was needed in the office at the first consultation to answer all my questions. For example I could touch all the breast implants so I could feel them that I could not do in the past. Daisy one of the employees, was with me in the room, talked to me, and helped me with getting the medication from the pharmacy that was conveniently located on the first floor!
She spent a good 30 minutes with me. Then I met Dr. Pousti, very warm person, good hand grip 😉 – I was welcome, felt like he listened to me and we were on the same page. I brought a poster I made, with exactly what I wanted from my surgery, on the huge piece of paper with pictures I download from Dr. Pousti gallery. He was happy that I did that.
We talked, extensively and went over every last detail! Exactly what I wanted, what I didn't want and also about what I had in the past (previous surgery) I was very open and honest with him telling him exactly what was done etc. I was very excited talking to him, without family next to you and far away from home I felt everyone want it for me to feel like at home which helped me with the stress going for the third surgery under general anesthesia.
After I got all the information from Dr. Pousti again we went over everything before he let me go to the hotel. I was prepared and felt safe in his hands. I knew he would do everything to fix what was done in the past by different surgeon.
The next day started at 6am, my surgery was at 9:15 but I had to be there at 7:15.
I checked in, and they asked me to fill out some paper work and they took me to the room. There was a nurse, I believe her name was Sue, very warm and carrying lady. Sue told me to dress myself (hat, awesome socks, slippers and gown)
They started an IV, and then the doctor came in. We went over what we talked the day before, size what I want, don't want and he started marking with a Sharpie on me, believe next Picasso ( in California) They took some pictures and took me to another room to lay down to draw more on me. Next step, I walked to the operating room and what I remember was when Dr. Pousti grabbed my one hand and the nurse grabbed another and the next thing is when I was at the recovery room. I think I got emotional and the tears of joy went down. J I was so happy! Dr. Pousti came and said everything he did is A+, everyone at the operating room were so pleased and happy for me.
My recovery started when my friends picked me up form the hospital and we drove to San Marcos.
Two days after I went to visit Dr. Pousti and everything went great. We talked over and over about my recovery what to do what not to do etc. Then he surprised me and asked me if I could talk to 4 women who were planning a breast lift which were sitting in the waiting area. I was very happy talking to them about my journey and helped them answer all their questions and addressed their concerns. All 4 women scheduled a surgery that day with Dr. Pousti.
Next and last visit was on Saturday; everything went perfect I got some t-shirts from DR. Pousti, which I will use them in my pictures when I will heal J
Again I said thank you to Dr. Pousti and the amazing staff and flu home the next day to Illinois. He gave me high quality support bras, at no charge, tension socks for the flight home, and a couple "Body by Pousti" tanks! Little things…..but they sure count!
Since that every day Dr. Pousti called me twice asked me how I feel, and to tell me please stay in touch and to tell me take it easy. He knows I have Two kids that wants mommy J Thank Good for my wonderful husband and all his support and my brother who take care of my kids while I was in California. It's almost two weeks after my surgery and they are still helping me. While writing this review Dr. Pousti surprised me with his phone call, yet again!
I feel like a person with heart, while under Dr. Pousti's care! He and his staff are constantly taking care of you, especially after you leave California, and are at home! They show genuine worry and concern, about you, which makes you feel special and with all that I believe that you heal easier and you have always someone to answer all your questions.
I made the choice of my life, to fly for the surgery to Dr. Pousti to California. He made me again a beautiful person inside and out! Dr. Pousti gave me back what the other surgeon took away! I can lead my life now with, my new beautiful breasts, which my husband loves, by the way! My breasts look amazing! And I feel great!
He changed my life forever – Thank you Dr. Pousti for taking the time with me for telling me the truth about the outcome for being such a caring and honest person. I would like to thank all employees at Dr. Pousti Surgical Center for answering my emails, phone calls and being part of my journey.
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:
"I am from Canada and I wanted to share how glad I am to have chosen Dr. Pousti to do my latest breast surgery . Last fall after a breast augmentation surgery (here in Canada) I wasn't really satisfied with the results. After going on the web, I came across a few girls whom I really like the results of their breast surgery and then found out that their Doctor was Dr. Pousti. So I went to his website. I was really impressed but I thought that California was pretty far away from home for a surgery since I live in Eastern Canada.
But after inquiring with out of states patients, I decided to send an email. I was answered pretty quickly. After a few e-mails and a few phone calls with Dr. Pousti, I was convinced and decided to go along with the surgery. Everything went so smoothly, they accommodated me for the scheduled surgery, contacted me by phone and emails and then I flew in the San Diego area.
Dr. Pousti and his entire staff, are warm and friendly, very professional and Dr. Pousti was very honest about the result. The surgery went wonderfully well , the next day I was traveling around the town and feeling just fine! I was very happy with the results (and still am after 3 and a half months). I feel that Dr. Pousti listened to my needs. Back home, Dr.Pousti and his staff checked on me regularly and I always felt cared for even now so far from his clinic.
I am very happy I've decided to fly to California to have my surgery done by him. My only regret is not to have heard of him earlier. It would have saved me a lot of unwanted surgeries to get what I wanted."
JB. from Canada.
Testimonial from a "fly in" patient:
"As a fly-in patient from the Pacific Northwest, let me start with the most important aspect of selecting Pousti Plastic Surgery " the people and their professionalism". I had been contemplating cosmetic surgery for some time to correct a dropping upper eyelid and I knew that my breasts needed some work. The implants I had done 12 years ago simply weren't perky anymore and I also wanted to go bigger. Visited several PS's in our area and never really found a PS that I felt comfortable with, I got the impression that they were hesitant with the size I wanted to go to.
My husband and I started looking on the internet and we kept coming up with Dr. Tom Pousti's name on various sites. Which is where we found Dr. Tom Pousti Surgery website and we were both very impressed with the testimonials on the varies websites as well as Dr. Pousti's own web pages. I decided to send an inquiry e-mail that was promptly answered by Margie and that in turn lead to a phone discussion with Dr. Pousti. The doctor took all the time that we needed on this phone call. It was very satisfying to finally find a doctor that listened and acknowledged every question, desire and concern I had. One is naturally nervous about going out of country and having surgery done by someone that you have never personally met but when I finally had my in office consultation with Dr. Pousti I was sure that I had made the correct decision. The office consult reviewed all aspects previously discussed and assured me that we were on the same page with what I wanted to achieve in correcting the droopy eyelids and in obtaining extra large breasts that were more centered with a higher nipple position without having to undergo a breast lift. Dr. Pousti, I love your sense of humour. I had my pictures of what I wanted and left the number of cc's needed up to Dr. |Pousti. At this time I also met some of the doctor's wonderful office staff. I want to take this time to thank all of the office staff. An extra special thank you to Helen and Daisy whom I got to know very well during my stay in San Diego.
The very morning I was off to the surgical center, again it was all about the "wonderful people" that staff the center. From the time you walk into the clinic I was very well taken care of. Thank you to all staff at the surgical center. Sorry that I can't remember all the names, but you all know who you are.
Dr. Pousti came and did his drawings on my eyes and breast and we chatted again about the picture of the new breasts that I wanted. Once in the operating room, Dr. Pousti kindly held my hand while the other doctor put me to sleep.
I woke up with new eyelids and the march larger breasts that I had wanted. Dr. Pousti told me that what was needed for the size I wanted was 1220 cc's of the saline implants. I know sounds kinda scary, but my body type just seems to swallow implants. So basically I went from a C cup to a DDD or G cup.
I am extremely happy with the work on my eyelids and excited about my new beautiful big breasts.
Thank you Dr. Pousti and all your wonderful staff."
Dr. Pousti has a large number of patient's flying in from different towns / states to have their procedure performed by him. Many people find San Diego Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Pousti on the internet and want to know how to get started from out of state. We try to make the experience smooth and easy. Some of our patients come and visit the sites in San Diego such as the world famous San Diego Zoo, La Jolla Cove, Downtown Del Mar, Old Town San Diego and Sea World.
Patient Recommendation:
"I am writing you this letter to let you know how pleased I am with Susan, the nurse who took care of me when I had surgery for my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and breast augmentation on March 26th, 2012. I originally spoke with Paula Widdle who is the Executive Director of Reliable Recovery, Inc. After talking with Paula, I immediately had a lot of my anxiety level drop. I was extremely anxious about my surgery and the NT knowing was the hardest part for me. She put my fears to a minimum. She had a very calming voice when I talked to her on the phone. She called me the day before surgery to inform me that Susan would be taking care of me through my recovery.
The moment I had come out of surgery, Susan was by my side comforting me and reassuring me that everything was going to be okay the one thing I do remember about Susan was she told me I looked beautiful even though I looked and felt like I had been hit by a truck. She was very positive and upbeat, which is exactly what I needed in order to get through this ordeal. Susan was very compassionate, kind, loving, and I can go on and on and on. She was by my side the full 48 hours and came to my every need. My 9 year old son was very sad when she had to go. He still talks about how nice she was to him.
I would highly recommend Susan to anyone who is considering having reliable recovery look after them.
I would also like to thank Dr. Pousti and his wonderful staff for helping me with my every need and just for their kindness they showed me and continue to show me as I am still going through my recovery process I am extremely happy with my result sand wouldn't change a thing. Dr. Pousti is a wonderful doctor and I am so glad that I chose him for my mommy makeover!!"
"Thank you for taking such good care of me after surgery.
You are organized, efficient, and caring. You understand the kind of care a patient needs immediately after surgery.
The minute you picked me up from the hospital, I was able to relax knowing you were going to be there for me. No need for me to worry about medication schedule, or any of the other details that needed to be taken care of. You are familiar with the process. That was a blessing.
I also enjoyed your companionship, and your encouragement. I hope you will continue to help other as well as you helped me."
Patient Recommendation:
This is a letter of recommendation for Paulla Weddle. She is the Executive Director of Reliable Recovery Inc, a post surgery care outfit that takes care of patients and all their needs after cosmetic surgery.
"I chose Reliable Recovery based on a recommendation of Dr. Pousti, who was to perform a abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) on me, not exactly a walk in the park! From the minute I first talked to Paulla, I could tell she sounded like a person who was committed to first class care of patients just by the tone of her voice, very soothing. Whether you choose your house or a local hotel to start your recovery, you can be sure that your time with Paulla will pout you at ease. She is professional, with the knowledge necessary to provide the care that people expect in a time that can be very stressful.
The best way to describe the care given by Paulla, would be compassionate and kind, almost like having a friend taking care of you that also went to nursing school! Imagine your best friend at your side in time of need, giving you the peace of mind sometimes only a friend can give. You feel safe and secure knowing that the person caring for you is committed to getting you better because of the friendship you share.
After my time in the first days of recovery, the peace of mind came easily because of Paulla's constant attention and companionship. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering employing a recovery service in the initial days after their cosmetic surgery."
"My surgical experience with Dr Pousti & his staff has surpassed even my highest expectations. Everyone has gone out of their way to make me feel informed, comfortable, and confident with my chosen procedures. I had what is commonly referred to as the 'mommy make-over'. (Technically I had a breast lift, tummy tuck & lipo-suction in the surrounding areas).
Dr.Pousti has a unique way of making the patient feel beautiful even before there is any actual surgery done. He and his staff were very thorough when explaining all of my procedures. Before the surgery we looked at photos together to make sure my expectations would be in line with the actual results. Everyone was very receptive to questions and extremely honest in their feedback.
Post surgery, Dr Pousti & his staff have been so accommodating. Being from out of town, for the most part we communicate through email and over the telephone. Each of my questions have been answered promptly. When I do need to come into the office they make every effort to work around my travel plans.
While I am still in the recovery process I am already thrilled with my surgical results! My breasts have been restored to their beautiful youthful selves. From top to bottom, my clothing fits me so differently, that I feel as though I have a new wardrobe.
I can not thank Dr. Pousti & his entire staff enough for all they have done & continue to do. I would highly recommend him for anyone considering a 'Mommy Make-Over'"
