Lo-fi is an aesthetic in music production which uses low fidelity recording practices. Its use is usually due to the artist's financial limitations. Many lo-fi artists use inexpensive cassette tape recorders for their music. The term was coined by WFMU DJ William Berger who dedicated a half hour segment of his program to home record music throughout the late '80s under the name Lo-fi.... As a term to describe a musical genre, lo-fi is mainly associated with recordings from the 1980s onwards, when cassette technology such as Tascam's four-track Portastudio became widely available.

In a corporate culture, core values are typically informed by the identity of the company, including its mission statement, products and customer service. In startup cultures, these core values tend to reflect the personalities and ethos of the people who worked for the business in the early days. Because new businesses must adapt quickly to internal and external market pressures in order to survive, a startup culture also promotes business agility and adaptability as being key virtues.
The workplace values supported by startup cultures are increasingly resonating with business leaders at large organizations. As the pace of business speeds up, quickened in part by advances in technology, large companies are realizing that they could benefit greatly by putting more emphasis on startup culture values, including the value of the individual. In some industries, the positive qualities gained by embracing a startup culture is referred to as kaizen.

After a five-month season leading up to a seemingly preordained Top Two, American Idol reached its orgiastic two-hour finale on Wednesday (May 21) night. As the show began, only one thing was certain... David's got it in the bag. Follow along to the stunning conclusion...
7:58 p.m. ET. Ample supply of caffeine? Check. Seven seasons of accumulated knowledge of American Idol? Check. Red Sox game in the background (and ready supply of " Bartolo Colon is soooo fat..." jokes)? Check. Ingrained sense of cynicism and wonderment? Check. It's time for...
7:59 p.m. The American Idol Finale!
8:00 p.m. David Cook and David Archuleta, bathed in a spotlight and both wearing a blinding white, are facing off against each other like ancient warriors. Ancient wimpy warriors.
8:01 p.m. We're one minute into the show and nobody has made a boxing reference. How long can that possibly last?
8:01 p.m. After Tuesday night's show, 97.5 million votes came in, smashing the show's previous record by more than 20 million. One David, we're told, received 56 percent of the vote. The other received 44 percent. Hillary Clinton would advise the second David to stay in the race to the very end, but if we're being honest, that's a rout.
8:02 p.m. OMG! Mikalah Gordon? Oh the nostalgia. Squeezed in a gold dress and squeezed more awkwardly into Kansas City, it's good to have The Nanny Junior back.
8:03 p.m. OMFG! It's Matt Rogers in Utah. He played in the Rose Bowl, y'all!!!
8:04 p.m. Trendspotting alert: Rogers and Gordon were the 11th place finishers in the show's third and fourth seasons. Can we expect appearances from Kevin Covais, Stephanie Edwards and Charles Grigsby later in the episode?
8:05 p.m. The So You Think You Can Dance hoofers come out and rock the stage before being replaced by the much less graceful Idol Top 12 singing "Get Ready." David Archuleta appears to have been too busy learning his songs this week to worry about the choreography. America's Nanny Brooke White, on the other hand, proves that with three weeks to learn her steps, she can be an enthusiastic participant.
8:10 p.m. The Davids were worthy finalists, but they wouldn't be asked to sing together under normal circumstances, as their duet on "Hero" proves. This is much more of a Cookie Monster song. Li'l' Archie's just hanging out and being a good sport. He'll get a personalized song later, I'd guess.
8:13 p.m. Coming soon to a theater near you, Michael Myers' new exercise in ethnic caricature, The Love Guru. The Finalists got to see The Love Guru and, guess what, they loved it! The joke is that they've had lots of mentors on American Idol this season, so this is just another one. Meanwhile, all of America is having the same thought: The Guru Pitka may be lame, but he couldn't be worse than Randy.
8:15 p.m. Awkward humor ensues as Michael Myers reprises his character to advise David Cook to shave and David Archuleta that he'll soon be facing puberty. The Davids play along ineffectively, especially when Cookie has to force out laughter at Myers attacking him with a razor. His feigned enthusiasm reads as "This is funny and I'm wanting to kill you now!"
8:17 p.m. The commercial continues as Myer comes out on stage. He's still in costume, but he isn't even bothering with his accent. Obviously he hasn't been paid enough to care.
8:18 p.m. This season's third place finisher, Syesha Mercado arrives to sing "Waiting for You" with special guest Seal. They're quite excellent.
8:20 p.m. Marry me, Cat Deeley! Ooops. Did I say that out loud?
8:21 p.m. Oh look. An official commercial for The Love Guru.
8:25 p.m. We're traveling back through this season's Idol timeline with Jason Castro reprising his version of Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah." They weren't able to get Leonard Cohen join Clifford the Muppet for what would have been the funniest Idol duet ever.
8:27 p.m. Set to "Let the Good Times Roll," the night's Ford commercial is outtakes from all of the season's earlier Ford commercials. Ford saves money and makes money at the same time.

Cracklin Rosie is a song about what?
There are many times when I am wont to say "I did not know that" … take that awesome song from Neil Diamond "Cracklin Rosie" (always been one of my faves and not just because my name is Rosie ). A couple of weeks ago I found out that this song is not about a woman but a wine … apparently Diamond heard a story about a native Canadian tribe where there were more men than women, and the men sans the fairer sex would sit around the camp fire cradling their wine. This is from Wikipedia which also goes on to say that perhaps the Rosie is a play on rosé (okay, Wikipedia says that's a misspelling … but I don't buy into that interpretation, what with my utter faith in music God Mr Diamond knowing exactly what he's doing ). I guess I can still look on the bright side though … the song can still be my theme song – perhaps I am like a bottle of wine – simply getting better with age . I will be celebrating my umpteenth 21st this month – oh, so does it still count? I might have to snuggle with a glass of wine to ponder the conundrum .
But the whole point of bringing it up is that no matter how old we get we can always have our assumptions and beliefs challenged.
Take my reading for Criminal Law this week (6 substantial chapters of a book written in the tiniest font they could possibly get away with … but I digress ) – it was certainly an eye opener for me. It's hard for me to explain the nuanced difference between what I believed the law was in relation to corporations being charged with a crime, what I had been told by a couple of lawyers and what this book explained as the current state of affairs in relation to corporations found to be breaking the law. As far as research topics go this one sounds really promising as well – especially in light of the calls for a Royal Commission into banks and their unscrupulous activities (okay, criminal activities – they are all guilty of crimes).
The more I learn about the law and how it is meant to operate, how the courts have ruled in the (not so distant) past and how things are going now in bank fraud cases (where the bank employees have committed the fraud and the banks are taking their customers to court to pay the ultimate price) the more depressed I get. To say I have days when my readings/lectures/tutorials trigger unwanted emotional responses is an understatement. The more I learn, the angrier I get about how the system was used against us so that we could not possibly win even though the law was actually on our side. We had law and equity to draw on … and got screwed over by lord knows what.
When I first thought about starting this degree I didn't consider becoming a lawyer and dealing with the banks on behalf of people like me. This has not changed, rather, I am more convinced than ever that I would not be an exceptional advocate for people like me. I fear I would hamper their case as my 'issues' cloud my judgment and my emotions run riot (I have visions of slapping my learned friend when s/he implies my client is a master criminal who had intended to defraud the bank, or smugly says "caveat emptor" … I take it you get the drift ).
While I want to research this whole shemozzle and be a part of the change that needs to happen, I don't' see me making a good living out of that – and because of what happened to us I have become a convert to the "show me the money" philosophy of career choice. So right now I'm thinking specializing in mining law with all the other laws that come into it (you know, environment, employment & corporate law) but hey, I haven't even finished my first year yet so plenty of time to figure out where I want to be … right?
Anyway … my head is fried and I still have readings to do before heading off to tomorrow's lectures and tutes so I'll leave you with my favourite song about wine …
and don't forget – take care out there in Banksterland
Research v stalking
I've been thinking a lot about how to prove things on my case – what with the police (Federal and State) not being interested. And one of the things I've been looking at is just how much information is actually online for various people. Maybe some of this is to do with the digital footprint I had to write so many essays about for my degree. Maybe a lot of it is to do with just how much real information is online about any individual at all.
My thinking goes along these lines – X did y and the result was it f*%k*d A – so is there any real information on X online that would expose the activities that f*%*d A?
I found some court cases that involved one of the significant players in my case – so might post links to these one day (when I get enough info – although legally I could post links to this today without triggering that particular dickhead's proclivity to suing for defamation [you know who you are and you should be terrified of my particular form of elephantitis (elephants never forget) – in this case my memory which remembers what you did you prick)].
Anyway, as part of that endeavour I've been using details of friends where I know enough about them to at least identify that I have the right person …
And the results have been scary.
zoominfo have been helpful – seriously, they even know when some people have threatened defamation suits! (that's a different prick I'm looking at hahaha … apologies for the language but if I were to refer to him once again as 'that big fat prick' then lots of people would identify the who and well … former lawyers can be so pedantic about frivolous law suits it doesn't bear thinking about) .
Of-course when you put just any old name into the old Google search engine it doesn't really work all that well. I use google .com as opposed to the regional variant (something about getting global search results as opposed to a limited geographical one ) – so some searches turn up zero results within specific domain names (Spokeo comes to mind which yielded spot on results for someone I knew who lived in the States but the closest matches to others weren't what I needed). I guess I can forget about a new career as a modern female version of Magnum PI then? muahahahahaha
Using google.com as opposed to the regional version has been interesting to say the least – throwing in ex-pats names does bring up results although knowing as many details as I do about some of the individuals I can pretty much say that even though I can access the full information for as little as 95 cents USD, that really isn't enticing me to buy into it. While it is disconcerting that for as little as $1USD I could get all the information on anyone I care to know more about … somehow it seems far too stalkerish to actually follow through – and it doesn't matter that perhaps this could prove that the information online about specific individuals is legit …
But as always this post gets back to the legal things … every now and then (especially now with the whole how we lost the farm thing firmly in my mind) I consider what else I can do to expose this cover up (that's how I see this – a whole lot of 'making it go away' and hiding the evidence). The thing that always sticks out is the legal system which is the body of law on one side and procedure on the other – and you have to pussyfoot your way around both to even be heard! Far too many people I know have been buried by the procedure bit for me to ever buy into the fairness of the legal system.
How can it be fair that someone who has a legitimate case against a corporation can lose everything just because their legal counsel decided not to put the evidence in for a Summary Judgment hearing? How is it fair that someone who paid a supposed professional gets screwed at the starting gates because their legal counsel decided not to submit the actual evidence that was presented in an affidavit? Yes, you can sue your lawyer – but who has the energy after being screwed over and losing everything in the first place? Do you have any idea about how convoluted and frustrating the legal system really is? If you think that 'well, they lost everything in court so they were wrong' – then you don't understand what really goes on in a system that is as much about following procedure and making sure all the evidence is in right from the beginning as it is about the law.
It's all a bit frustrating.
And I'd like to apologise to all the people I know around the world whose names I've been googling just to see what kind of information is reliable online … I wasn't really looking at you per se, rather, I was trying to validate search results … and sadly that has been very interesting (and no, not a single person has shown up on 'don't date that guy/gal' or anything else untoward bahahahaha )
Today's song is the stalker's anthem … Every Breath You Take … because well, sometimes obsession isn't always about love hahahaha
unhappy anniversary baby
Today is the fifth anniversary of the day my old life officially ended. So this might seem like a bit of a downer for you if you're following my path – sometimes despite truth and the law being on your side, it doesn't always translate into the knight in shining armour rushing in at the last minute to save you. The law certainly let me down, just as it has let down countless others. Banks on the other hand have their champion well sorted.
It's not often these days that I get bummed out to the max (as we once used to say – no idea what we say these days) but today is one of those days. I had a strategy to not arrive at the point where I am right now – that feeling of being so lost, rudderless, without purpose. Although I am working a plan and I am even slightly ahead on the plan – today it really doesn't seem like enough. As you can tell, my strategy did not work … here I am trying to resist the temptation to go out and buy a veritable tonne of chocolate and litres of wine to drown my sorrows.
Talk about feeling silly … I'm sitting here feeling like a prize goose because I am in such a dark mood today. I wonder how things would be today if we had had a better outcome. Would I be happy? Or would it all still have gone pear shaped because it was all destiny and I was supposed to leave Boddington and go back to uni to finally get my degree? Although technically I could have done that on the farm – I know damned well I wouldn't have. There would have been too many other jobs to do, too many things to juggle. I would never, ever have considered studying law (and I'm rather enjoying it in a masochistic kind of way ).
When things were really bleak and the bulk of the emotional damage inflicted I made some plans, plans that ended up being set aside because of the legal fight we were going to have. And on this day every year I wonder what could have been if I'd done things differently.
It's a perfect waste of time of-course, all of that wondering if I made a mistake and should have done x rather than y. I'm not even sure if this classifies as regret or if it's just curiosity as to who I might be today if I'd done something different.
And I guess that's the reason for this particular post; because I'm pretty sure my reaction to today is perfectly normal, that everybody who has had any kind of a life changing experience finds themselves wondering how things would be today if only they'd done something different at a critical point in the distant past. If only they had chosen this instead of that then their life would be perfect today, all their dreams would have been fulfilled.
Which is a load of poppycock if you ask me ….
On the bright side, I'm still alive, managed to keep most of my friendships intact, have completed one degree and am enjoying having to work for the law degree. While I still haven't got my shit together and am therefore not ecstatically happy, I am doing okay. All things considered it could be worse, and I am grateful that it isn't.
… and while the song I've picked for today could be construed to be regret about my man – erm, nope, dedicated to the bank – 'cos I was never loved by them …
Stay safe, stay sane and take care out there in Banksterland
Weird and wonderful laws
I've been banging on about existing laws a bit and as an American friend once pointed out to me, Australia has some really weird laws. So this is going to be a bit of a light-hearted look at odd laws we may not even know exist. That said, Australia is not the only country with laws that make you go "Huh?" so I might take a bit of a gander at weird and wonderful laws found around the world.
Try these laws from Oz: Considering the (young) Australian male's ritualistic behaviour on any given week-end (possibly starting on a Thursday night and going through to Wednesday midnight ) it amazes me that it is actually illegal to be drunk in a pub (this attracts a fine of $500). The wearing of hot pink pants is illegal after midday on a Sunday (some might argue that this should be illegal at all times hehe). Unbelievably, you cannot dress up as Robin or Batman (so this is a relatively recent law – and definitely raises the eyebrows far more than could be physically possible!). And just like suicide is against the law, touching electric wires that cause death instantly attracts a fine of $200 – the mind boggles! It is also somewhat disconcerting to discover that I have been breaking the law on a regular basis for years – since only licensed electricians may change a light bulb! Try getting a licenced electrician for anything and you're waiting a long time – so unless they want us all to sit around in the dark I don't think they'll be prosecuting anyone for that offence any time soon haha.
America may be the land of the free, but some laws make me have a rethink of the use of the word 'free' – like this beauty from Minnesota where apparently it is illegal to sleep naked . So the anti-nudity police break into your house at night to make sure you're following the rules? Hahaha, yup, the mind boggles. Still in Minnesota all men riding motorbikes must wear shirts – I'm guessing it's therefore okay for women to ride bare-chested? . In Montana it's a felony for a wife to open her husband's mail; although this is one of those ones that I entirely agree with why single out the wife? I must find the wording of it … I'm sure it would just 'include' the wife? – and 'felony' might be a bit rough, especially in light of the 3 strikes you're out thingy!
In Nebraska it is illegal for bar owners to sell beer unless they are simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup. And I do love this one … in Lehigh it's illegal to sell donut holes …. huh? Then in Nevada – I really have to find out if this one is true because my best friend's son lives in Elko where everyone walking the streets is required to wear a mask. (hmmm, methinks someone is yanking my chain surely this can't be right?). I also know a few people who need to stay away from New Jersey where it is illegal to slurp soup!
I probably shouldn't have started with the letter m, it's just the first law I saw on Google happened to be the sleeping naked one (that one really fascinates me LOL) – so let's cruise to Alabama where it is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church. But at least these 'laws' are pretty tame, let's get serious and head to North Korea – where it's pretty rough to say the least.
Apparently in NK it is illegal to watch television other than the state owned propaganda channel and according to this video published last month, in the last two years NK has publicly executed around 130 people for watching South Korean TV … yikes . Now that's what I call depressing – so I'll try to find some more funny laws (that aren't actually enforced).
In sunny England it is considered treason to place a postage stamp that bears the Queen (or King) upside down … and you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight (I have a sneaky suspicion that that one is a bit old haha – but it is still on the books). Not to be left out of the legal shenanigans I must make mention of the fact that in Germany a pillow can be considered a passive weapon – so watch those pillow fights lest ye land in jail
I probably should have put this disclaimer at the top – I've only verified a couple of these laws (the Aussie ones are surprisingly real but some of the other country's I haven't looked at closely). I've added the links to my sources for your entertainment . And to wrap things up on a fun note, here's a couple of songs that might tie in – sort of .
meanwhile … take care out there in Banksterland
Wilful blindness, black swan events and fighting shadows
So I've been banging on about a group of people who convince real victims of bank fraud to fight the banks in court with pseudo law. You know, the argument that you don't have to pay your loan back because the bank created the money out of thin air so it's not like it's real or anything . Let the bank prove in court that you owe them money and they can't.
What I find really frustrating about the argument is that while it is right (hey, the banks did create the money out of thin air, it's not like it really does exist in physical form) there is also the fact that money, the law and everything else that's an idea in a civilized world is a construct. While we do have physical money it is only legal tender in certain circumstances, and that's where the idea of the construct comes in.
The laws that govern us are also a construct, an idea that helps us live together in a relatively peaceful and positive way. The idea that killing another human being is 'against the law' is just that, an idea, mind you it's a great idea if you believe in the protection of human beings. I'm not sure prehistoric man had that 'law', I have a feeling that perhaps things simply boiled down to if you hurt mine I'll hurt you right back. There are still family feuds that go back generations where the fighting continues despite no-one really remembering what started it all in the first place. But the law aims to stop random killing by giving consequences.
There are also consequences if fraud is committed. Sadly for bank customers, banks generally only push the fraud angle when their employees defraud the banks themselves – they are not so keen on pursuing employees who defraud customers. This is despite the fact that it is against the law to do so (erm, defraud a customer – not the report the employee bit haha ). A second problem bank customers face is that there is a general attitude in the wider community that banks do not simply allow their employees to engage in fraud that results in the financial destruction of their own valued customers. Not only is there a law against it, but there is a whole system in place to protect customers from the rare bad apple.
This is where the term black swan event arises in my mind. The term relates to the idea that pre discovery of the black swan in Western Australia it was a widely held belief that there is no such thing as a black swan. All swans are white – that's what everybody knew – until of-course the first reports of black swans existing despite all previous evidence to the contrary. Can you imagine the uncertainty that caused? Many people must have thought that these explorers were just making it up – yanking their chain. The fact was that all swans 'were' white and anyone who said different might not have been telling the truth. It is because of this that unexpected and unplanned for events that change everything are called black swan events – because they change how we see the world. The 911 attack is considered a black swan event because no-one could have predicted it.
For businesses black swan events can be devastating – remember the fall-out from 911? How could any business have considered the consequences in their risk management planning? And so it is with this bank fraud which in my personal life ended up being my own black swan event. With all of the planning I have done in managing our financial affairs for our business the one thing I couldn't plan for was that the biggest risk I faced was from my bank – I had all the law and this whole system to protect the financial side of the business. This was a blanket guarantee that I now understand to be non-existent. Without rehashing the sad and sorry events of 2006 and their dire consequences in 2010, there was no way to protect our business against the black swan event that destroyed us.
I was talking to one of the people who contacted me through this blog and we managed to laugh at the ruling she received from FOS. Yes, the bank had done the wrong thing but she had to wear 50% of the blame because she did nothing to protect herself from the bank! How could she have known that she needed to protect herself from the bank? No-one seriously discusses how this fraud works – no-one seriously says that bank employees have changed financial information to make a non-viable loan application go through. No-one talks about fraud within the banks, no-one talks about forged signatures or unconscionable conduct, never mind misleading or deceptive conduct.
It will require a lot more research and understanding of legal procedure before I will understand how the banks get away with fraud on such a large scale. There is such a large element of wilful blindness on behalf of the courts and the government that they continue to deny that this is a real problem. The fact that predatory lending is not technically against the law in most states is mind-blowing. The fact that banks can get away with not producing documents in court despite being subpoenaed to to so is disgusting. But try telling the government that the laws have to be tweaked and customers compensated for their losses … the response is invariably that the banks do nothing wrong.
The government must wear the ultimate responsibility for failing to protect bank customers from their own (trusted) banks, to continue to pretend there is no problem is nothing less than wilful blindness. The combination of denial by the government that there is a problem, reliance by the courts on the honesty and integrity of the banks in producing documents and acting in good faith, and the disingenuous way the media continues to portray victims of this bank fraud as merely careless individuals whose own greed lead to their financial downfall continues to support the banks in their actions.
So far everything we (a collective of customers affected by bank fraud) have tried to do to reign in the banks and stop these rorts has failed. Despite massive evidence that signatures were forged, that banks have had an employee working with criminal gangs in mortgage fraud of $110 million (see also here ) and that bank customers are taken to court (despite the financial information used to approve the loans being fabricated by employees rather than the customer) – all of this and still no Royal Commission. All of this and still no news reports of the jailing of a bank employee, all of this and still no tightening/review of banking law.
The banks are allowed to continue to monitor their own actions, rule against customers in disputes and con the courts into handing Summary Judgment in their favour because they don't act in good faith and they certainly lie to the court about the circumstances surrounding their claim.
I guess of all of the ideas we have in modern society the one that is most destructive to truth and justice is money – because money talks and justice is bought. But I'm not really cynical, no, not me … .
But just so that I don't end on a negative note it should be remembered that not all judgments go in favour of the banks. That when you have evidence that the bank did the wrong thing and you, the customer, acted in good faith all along the way you can have a win (admittedly this is pretty rare atm). You might have to appeal the decision but you know a few people have put wins on the board through the appeals process. Or you could still sue the bank for damages after the event – as long as you have all of the evidence that the loan was unaffordable and the bank failed to act as a 'due and diligent banker'. (Okay, a bit more complicated than that, but hey, this is just to give you a bit of a lift – the law isn't all bad … use it wisely).

I have had the BEST experience with Dr. Revis and his staff. He has such a positive vibe and he really cares about his patients. I could not be happier with my breast augmentation results. He is truly a gifted surgeon and an overall wonderful doctor. I really don't see how any of these negative reviews can be real.

I too was left deformed with his stitches and left breast bottomed out after 4 months. The internal bra doesn't hold and painful. I'm still in extreme pain 4 months later. No response from him to help me.

Dr. Revis is a breast augmentation specialist- I know patients travel from around the world, so I feel lucky to live not far from his office. I did lots of research, interviewed three plastic surgeons, selected Dr. Revis based on word of mouth recommendations, reviews, photographs, and his kind gentle professional demeanor. I could not be happier with my results. Full, feminine, soft, natural, I can enjoy them dressed up or dressed down! No regrets and definitely made the right choice- you rock Dr. Revis - the Boob Man!

I had 1500cc implants placed in July 2014 by Dr Revis. Everything went well but I had an issue with one incision not healing well and draining a lot. Even though I was far away he always answered my questions via text or email very promptly. He kept me calm with his pleasant demeanor and his quick responses. Six months later the incisions look great with no problems.

I travelled from Alberta, Canada to see Dr. revis. Right from the 1st email his staff made me feel comfortable. He is friendly and patient. I never felt rushed through and he made me so comfortable when o was nervous. The staff at Broward Medical were amazing as well. I have told everyone that asks about Dr.Revis. My breasts look so beautiful. I am 4 weeks out and the scars are already looking good and barely there. I was unsure of what size as I didn't want them to be too big. I went with 425CC. I'm 5'6 and 145 pounds. They look perfect. I am so pleased with everything it's hard to imagine anyone not liking him. He even gave us his cell number in case we needed anything the night after surgery. I give him a high reccomendation.

I am patient from New York. I found out about Dr. Revis through Just Breast Implants! Anyone who tells your Dr. Revis is bad doesn't know what they are talking about! I am 19 and being so young I didn't know what to expect. Especially traveling down to Florida. I have been emailing his staff and Dr. Revis and they are wonderful and helpful!!!! I've never had such an amazing expirence in my life! Dr. Revis himself is a wonderful person with a cheerful voice that brightens up a room and makes you feel right at home!!! He gave me between 2 choices: 350cc Mod Plus or 400cc High Profile. He recommend me for 400 and that's exactly what I went with ! They came out perfect!! I don't regret traveling and a lot of the ladies in my family love my results that they even say they would love to go to him! I will always recommend him forever! He has blessed hands and gives you exactly what you are looking to get. For a surgery like Breast augmentation you want the first time to end up perfect! He is the man to go to! He is very respectful and cares for his patients!

This man is THE WORST BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE OF HIM. Ladies I went to FL from New York. He made my breasts look horrible. Unnatural and uneven ugly shape with the worst stitches you can imagine. Staff dont care about anything but money. I had to get revision from dr vandemia in New York who had to fix dr Revis' job. I was lucky dr vandemia was a professional and fixed it. Dont believe his beautiful web site its only to fool you. None of those pictures is his work. e-mail me if you want to see how bad my breasts looked like. He is dangerous.

I am a Canadian patient who had a bilateral donut mastopexy BA & lift (500cc smooth high-profile). My experience has been excellent with very little pain and no complications or complaints. I am only 7 weeks out and my breasts have healed incredibly well. Lefty has nearly caught up with Righty and they both look fantastic. Scars are almost invisible already - I totally recommend the Scar Guard. As an out-of-town patient I was happy to purchase directly through him instead of having to shop around. I would recommend Dr. Revis to my friends and family.

Gear Review
Matt Teuling
This thing is great. Most of the time when i crash, i go for the head over heels tomahawk. That said, I wasn't going to risk a helmet mount. The chesty is great and makes me feel like my gopro won't break off and disappear into some snowy white abyss.
The only problems i have noticed are: (1)the chesty bounces just a little on bumpy terrain (it's not bad but tightening the harness doesn't seem to help much), and (2) sometimes my hands take up too much of the shot when i pole plant (could be prevented with a little effort).
That aside, this mount gets great shots, and in my opinion is worth every penny.

Toyota is aiming to make its RAV4 compact tall wagon more convenient and refined with larger wheels and power options spreading lower through the line.
A 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission, which falls in line with competitors such as the Ford Escape and the Hyundai Tucson.
Well into its fourth generation and Toyota is making sure its compact RAV4 brings more than just perceived reliability to the table. To do this, its design is rather impressive with all sorts of swoops and curves and an angry-looking nose. The RAV4 is similarly sized to the old third-gen model, but Toyota says there is more cargo room. Despite this, there is no option of the third-row seat or the V6 engine that was required when that seat was ordered. In fact, where the competing Ford Escape offers three different four-cylinder engines, the RAV4 only provides the carryover 2.5-liter four-cylinder rated at 179 horsepower. Fuel economy is good — 24 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway — largely due to a six-speed automatic transmission with tall overdrive gearing to cut highway revs. The all-wheel-drive option is has Auto, Lock and Sport modes to suit specific traction and driving situations. Lock mode keeps half the power going to the back wheels as long as you're driving slower that 25 mph. Sport mode allows wider transfer of torque between the front and rear wheels (as much as half to the rear) than the Auto mode. That's all well and good, but the real battleground these days is in interior fit and finish as well as technology. The RAV4 is awash with "soft-touch" materials and silver trim bits, which is pretty standard for this class. There are also eight standard airbags and a 6.1-inch screen that doubles as a monitor for the back-up camera, which is also standard. RAV4 is offered in the usual LE, XLE and Limited trim levels. Oddly perhaps, the LE comes with 17-inch steel wheels, which probably helps keep the starting price under $25,000, but you do get air conditioning and some power features. The XLE adds a moonroof, roof rails and new 17-inch Superchrome wheels, while the Limited comes with 18-inch alloy wheels and opens up the door to a 576-watt JBL-brand audio system. Toyota's Entune audio software, and an optional technology package on Limited which includes blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning and automatically activated high beams were added last year.

We're only four months away from the presumed launch of the next generation of game consoles, and the internet is clamoring for new information. In response, Sony has deemed fit to post a video answering some of the most burning questions surrounding the PS4. From the number of slots on the PSN friends list to the existence of 3D games, this video from PlayStation Access covers a lot of ground.
Ouya to fund exclusive games in attempt to right console's worst wrong July 18, 2013 at 12:15 pm
Among the Ouya's laundry list of issues that need to be addressed, the biggest issue is that there just aren't many games that make it worth buying the console. Now, by funding Kickstarter campaigns for Ouya-exclusive games, the company is directly addressing the console's biggest issue.
Microsoft may be upgrading the specs of the Xbox One before its release July 12, 2013 at 11:53 am
The Xbox One reveal was so disappointing that it'll likely go down in history as one of the gaming industry's most memorable high-profile blunders. Microsoft's decision to revise its mistakes will also likely go down in gaming history as unprecedented. Now, in what may end up another unprecedented move, Microsoft might be revising the Xbox One's hardware before it even releases.
The man behind the Xbox One, Don Mattrick, might be leaving Microsoft for Zynga July 1, 2013 at 2:57 pm
Don Mattrick, Microsoft's President of Interactive Entertainment Business, has been the focus of a lot of backlash recently. The Xbox One has been a huge PR nightmare for Redmond, and it seems it's taking a toll on the man heading up the Xbox team. Reports are now coming in that Don Mattrick plans on leaving Microsoft in favor of taking on an executive role at Zynga — the troubled casual gaming company.
Microsoft's Xbox 180 won't inhibit online-only games on the Xbox One June 26, 2013 at 3:55 pm
Microsoft came out beating the drum for cloud services and restrictive online requirements when it announced the Xbox One at the end of May. Since then, Redmond has completely flip-flopped on its online requirements and used game restrictions, but the Xbox Live Cloud service hasn't been harmed in the process. Even though the Xbox One won't require you to connect to the internet, individual games on the platform most certainly will.
Ouya and Shield: Android consoles are about potential, not gaming June 26, 2013 at 1:43 pm
The Ouya has hit store shelves, and after a small delay, Nvidia's Shield will release to market as well. As the two pioneers of the Android gaming console market, the Ouya and Shield have taught us all one thing: Android gaming consoles are about the potential of the Android gaming platform, not the quality of the platform as it is now.
Xbox One's $700M data center should help combat the PS4's onslaught June 24, 2013 at 2:59 pm
In the wake of Microsoft backtracking on some of the draconian online requirements for the Xbox One, the company has been hard at work preparing the world for its next console. It has only been a few days since the announcement, and already so much has happened. There are more interesting tidbits than we know what to do with, so we're going to save you some time and bring you up to speed right here.
Game sharing discovered in Steam beta update, Valve takes cue from Xbox One June 19, 2013 at 3:23 pm
There has been a huge debacle over used games on the next-gen consoles recently, but that fight is only over physical discs. At this point, there are absolutely no expectations that games purchased through online services should be allowed to be lent to friends. Well, with the release of the latest Steam beta client, it seems that Valve is working on changing those expectations.
Your burning Xbox One policy questions answered by Major Nelson June 17, 2013 at 12:58 pm
E3 2013 has come and gone, and with it, we got to see the next generation of Microsoft's and Sony's consoles up close and in detail. Microsoft's showing didn't go as the company likely planned, and it has been on the defensive ever since. Xbox Live's Director of Programming Larry Hryb joined the defensive, and took to a video interview where he answered a host of questions from Reddit.
AMD has console gaming in its pocket, but can it squeeze out Nvidia on the PC? June 6, 2013 at 10:09 am
AMD is in a very interesting position this year. Not only is it pushing the envelope with server, desktop, and mobile APUs, but it also has the console market on lock down. This week at the Computex Taipei expo, AMD doubled down on its "Unified Gaming Strategy," and promises to work directly with game developers to make PC ports of console games easier going forward.

Isaiah Thomas scored 17 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter and John Salmons also had 23 points to help rally the Sacramento Kings to a 117-111 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The Kings were trailing by 10 points early in the fourth quarter, but Thomas led an offense that was difficult for the Rockets to match in the fourth quarter. Houston was outscored 17-7 over a four-minute stretch when the Kings took control of the game. Kings center DeMarcus Cousins had 20 points despite sitting out much of the second half with foul trouble. Jason Thompson scored 12 points, and Francisco Garcia came off the bench and had 11, including six points in the fourth quarter when the Kings outscored Houston 33-25. James Harden had 30 points, six rebounds and four assists for Houston, which lost for the fourth time in five games. Patrick Patterson scored 18 points and Omer Asik had 17 points and 12 rebounds.
