Telefónica invited us recently to its European Analyst day at the headquarters of Telefonica UK (O2) in Slough. Jose Luis Gamo Global Solutions CEO Multinationals started off the day with an ambitious outlook on strategy and revenue growth. He highlighted Telefónica plans to deepen customer engagements by addressing their needs for global contract consolidation, as well as demands for M2M solutions, big data & s analytics and cloud services. Telefónica certainly has a lot to offer. But is Telefónica doing enough to position itself well in the evolution to markets driven by customer experience? We believe that there is potential because:

Needless to say, Indian service providers pioneered and developed the outsourced software development space; currently, they generate a combined $3.2 billion of revenue annually. Although Indian software service providers claim high standards, it is apparent that there are still weaknesses in their delivery. I just published a report that highlights the main culprits for this: a lack of executive commitment, poor application coding, and the industrialization of software development:

$3 billion may not be enough for Snapchat, the latest social-media craze. Those of you as socially challenged as I am may not know that Snapchat allows teens (mostly) to send photos that get erased after a few seconds. Certain politicians would have paid dearly for this feature. And now there are so many bad photos zipping around the Internet (my wife alone is responsible for thousands) that the Snapchat message service may have great social value.
No question, it is a popular site for young users and is grabbing Facebook's teenagers. But valuations like this strike me as well – ridiculous. Sure Facebook will try to keep this from Google and the latter will be reluctant to see Facebook grab the possible next big social media thing. I get that.
But value continues to be a funny thing in technology. 7,671 miles from Silicon Valley is India. Looking over its shoulder at China, they finalized the deal to pick up a $2.3 billion aircraft carrier from Russia. A bit of a "fixer-upper" but it will now have two aircraft carriers. The Russian flag on the vessel was lowered, and the flag of the Indian Navy was raised. A coconut was then smashed against the ship's side.
I have a hard time reconciling these two values. You can have a photo-sharing site with a clever algorithm and a fair number of eyeballs, for maybe 3 billion. Or you get a 45,000-ton vessel that can carry up to 30 aircraft and will have a crew of around 2,000 for a mere $2.3 billion, certainly an eye-popping conversation piece when tied up off the back dock.
It's hard for me to imagine that the vast R&D teams at Facebook or Google couldn't whip something like Snapchat up in a few months. But even if taking a bit longer, if rumors are true, how do you turn down a $3 billion offer? And the bigger question: Is it really worth anywhere near that?

As we ramp up our coverage of the digital store, we recently researched the role of retail sales associates to understand their impact in the age of the customer. There's no doubt that technology has dramatically impacted the way in which consumers discover, explore, buy, and engage with brands, products, and services. However, the impact of technology on sales associates is unclear, as is the degree to which the role of the sales associate needs to evolve to leverage these new capabilities.
In the new report A New Generation Of Clienteling, we tackle the role of sales associates and their use of technology in the digital store. In the report, we note a number of trends, including the following:

$2 billion. That's billion with a "B". That's a lot of money. That is also what Aaron Levie's Inc. Magazine Entrepreneur of the Year company, Box Inc., is being valued at today. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, Box has said it recieved a fresh round of $125 million in investment, with $100 million of that money coming from a single private equity firm. Also according to the article, Box is expecting to close out 2013 with approximately $100 million in revenue, giving the company a 20x multiple. The numbers are certainly impressive, but is this a bubble or are we seeing a fundamental shift in how businesses of the future will operate, thus justifying the big dollar signs?
A recent article in Forbes stated the following: "Taking a cue from the Dot-com bubble's playbook, investors have resorted to valuing today's profitless tech companies on a price-to-sales ratio basis, yet even this metric shows that Twitter's valuation is quite overvalued at 22 times its expected 2014 sales, which is approximately double the multiple carried by Facebook and LinkedIn (which have high multiples in their own right)."

What's really wrong with healthcare.gov?
Everyone is focused on getting the health exchanges working well (or criticizing those who failed to get them working). But the greater risk and opportunity long term is the ability to manage change. With software you often get one chance to get it right – that initial design and architecture needs to be well conceived. Adding features, patches, and fixes, particularly under pressure, often creates hard problems down the road.
So think of the vast number of changes that await. Modifications to various rating systems within hundreds of benefit and risk levels; revised procedures and laws that allow brokers to enroll – not to mention the small business health options (SHOP) programs; and improvements to back-end functions to support online and offline processing. And these are changes to the Act itself. Changing demographics, ramping customer experience demands, and advancing mobile opportunities also will drive change. My biggest fear, as we pull the bus out of the ditch, is whether hastily applied extensions to deal with the initial crisis will make it difficult to adapt going forward. Hence, the real challenge is whether healthcare.gov has been built to handle the incredible number of inevitable changes with this transformational law.
We just completed our second report on Business Agility Performance and looked at what factors can make the government more agile. Of our 10 dimensions, the most important dimensions for the exchange going forward are Process Architecture and Software Innovation.

Last month it was my pleasure to host Forrester's Forum For Customer Experience Professionals EMEA in London. The theme for the event was "boost your customer experience to the next level," which we picked because we know that attendees of our events are at widely (sometimes wildly!) different levels of customer experience maturity.
What is "customer experience maturity"? We define it as the extent to which an organization routinely performs the practices required to design, implement, and manage customer experience in a disciplined way. In other words, does the organization apply the same level of business discipline to customer experience as it does to well-established business practices like marketing, logistics, and accounting?
In our study of how companies become mature at the practices in the customer experience discipline, we've discovered that successful firms all follow the same path, which passes through four phases:

Upgrade steps for Discoverer Users
Upgrade steps for E-Business Suite Users
Oracle JInitiator enables end users to run Oracle9i AS Forms Services applications directly within Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer on the Windows 2000, Windows NT4.0, and Windows XP platforms.
Oracle JInitiator is implemented as a plug-in (Netscape Navigator) or ActiveX Object (Microsoft Internet Explorer). Oracle JInitiator allows you to specify the use of the Oracle certified Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on web clients instead of relying on the default JVM provided by the browser.
Oracle JInitiator delivers several key benefits to enterprises deploying Oracle9iAS Forms Services applications:
Full JDK 1.3 support: Oracle JInitiator allows enterprise developers to develop and deploy Oracle9iAS Forms Services applications taking full advantage of JDK 1.3 features and functionality.
Full Java Compatible support: Oracle JInitiator utilizes the latest release of the Oracle certified JDK (OJDK) which is fully compliant with the Java Compatibility Kit (JCK) test suite.
Easy install: Oracle JInitiator utilizes the plug-in/ActiveX Object installation mechanism provided by the browsers to install and update itself when necessary. Oracle JInitiator requires minimal intervention on the end users behalf.
Supports a specific version of MIME type for use in Netscape Navigator
Oracle JInitiator 188.8.131.52 only supports the following MIME type
A version specific MIME type has been added, application/x-jinit-applet;version=188.8.131.52 which provides the administrator with the ability to explicitly specify the Oracle JInitiator 126.96.36.199 as the version to be used.
MIME Type Usage Notes application/x-jinit-applet;version=188.8.131.52
- Supported only in Oracle JInitiator 220.127.116.11.
- The browser will only use version 220.127.116.11 and if it is not present will direct the user to the download page for this version.
Supports a version specific CLASSID for Microsoft Internet Explorer
A new CLASSID was created for Oracle JInitiator 184.108.40.206:
To specify the use of Oracle JInitiator 184.108.40.206 in Microsoft Internet Explorer, the Object tag in the page must contain the CLASSID specified above. If the objects tags do not specify the exact CLASSID for this release, it will not be launched. If Microsoft Internet Explorer does not have this version installed, it will download and install it for the user.
JAR file caching: Oracle JInitiator caches the downloaded JAR file on the client-machines hard disk. Cache mechanism properties can be modified on the client via the Oracle JInitiator control panel. The caching mechanism uses a smart expansion algorithm to store JAR files in an uncompressed format. This approach provides much more efficient class loading operations and reduces application startup time dramatically.
Oracle JInitiator supports the following browser and OS configurations:
Platform |
Internet Explorer 5.5* |
Internet Explorer 6.0* |
Netscape Navigator 4.7.x** |
Windows NT |
Windows 2000 |
* Although JInitiator 220.127.116.11 is certified on Internet Explorer 5.5/6.0. It is in noway imply that other Oracle Java applications are certified to run on Internet Explorer. Please consult corresponding documentation from for supported browsers.
** Oracle JInitiator 22.214.171.124 has been shown (by both internal testing and the absence of any customer reported issues) not to be sensitive to any particular version of Netscape 4.7.x. It is therefore certified for use against all versions from 4.7.x onwards. Currently we test Oracle JInitiator on Netscape 4.78 and will continue to install and test against the latest version of Netscape 4.7.x .
Oracle JInitiator does not replace or modify the default JVM provided by the browser. Rather, it provides an alternative JVM via the standard plug-in architecture of the browser which allows web application developers to specify the use of the Oracle certified JVM instead.
Oracle JInitiator is automatically downloaded to a client machine from the application server the first time the client web browser encounters an HTML file that specifies the use of Oracle JInitiator. The installation and updating of Oracle JInitiator is performed using the standard plug-in mechanism provided by the browser.
Oracle JInitiator installation performs the required steps to run Oracle9i Forms applications as trusted applets in the Oracle JInitiator environment.
Oracle JInitiator leverages the Netscape Navigator plug-in architecture in order to run inside the browser in the same way other plug-ins such as QuickTime movies or Shockwave animations operate. Using the Netscape HTML <EMBED> tag, web application developers can specify plug-ins to be run as part of a web page. This is what makes it possible for Oracle JInitiator to run inside the web browser with minimal user intervention.
When Navigator first encounters an HTML page that specifies the use of Oracle JInitiator, users will see a "Plug-in Not Loaded" dialog on the HTML page, which directs the user to the Oracle JInitiator download page. Users can then download the version of Oracle JInitiator for their operating system and install it. Once Oracle JInitiator is installed, users must shut down Navigator, restart it, and then revisit the original HTML page. Oracle JInitiator will then run and use the parameters in the <EMBED> tag to render the applet. The next time Navigator encounters a web page that specifies Oracle JInitiator, Navigator will seamlessly load and run the plug-in from the local disk, requiring no user intervention.
Oracle JInitiator leverages the Microsoft Internet Explorer extension mechanism for downloading and caching ActiveX controls and COM components. Using the HTML <OBJECT> tag, web application developers can specify to run ActiveX controls or COM components as part of a web page, including Oracle JInitiator.
When Internet Explorer first encounters an HTML file that has been modified to specify the use of Oracle JInitiator, Internet Explorer will ask the user if it is okay to download an ActiveX control signed with a VeriSign digital signature by Oracle Corporation. If the user clicks "Yes," Internet Explorer will begin downloading Oracle JInitiator. Oracle JInitiator will then run and use its parameters in the <OBJECT> tag to render the applet. The next time Internet Explorer encounters a web page modified to support Oracle JInitiator, Internet Explorer will seamlessly load and run Oracle JInitiator from the local disk, requiring no user intervention.
Oracle JInitiator includes a version of Oracle Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which is downloaded and installed together with Oracle JInitiator.
Oracle JInitiator is based on JavaSoft plug-in 1.3.1, which is in turn based on JavaSoft JDK 1.3.1.
Please refer to the changes file for a list of changes between the Oracle JInitiator releases.
Install the Oracle JInitiator on your server (for server-based testing purposes only).
Make the Oracle JInitiator available for download:
Copy jinit13125.EXE to your web server. Note: You must copy jinit13125.EXE to the location that was specified within the base HTML file.
Customize the Oracle JInitiator download file. JINIT_DOWNLOAD.HTM is the template HTML file that allows your end users to download the Oracle JInitiator.
Copy JINIT_DOWNLOAD.HTM to your web server. Note: You must copy JINIT_DOWNLOAD.HTM to the location that was specified within the base HTML file.
Place the jinit13125.exe in a directory that has a virtual mapping associated with it. This enables client machines to download the installation executable when required.
(optional) To install Oracle JInitiator on the server machine for testing purposed, double-click jinit13125.EXE, then follow the installation instructions. Installing the Oracle JInitiator on your server allows you to test and refine your configuration before deploying your applications to customers. Note that this is not a required step and is only required to perform local system testing.
To add Oracle JInitiator markup to your base HTML file:
Open your base HTML file within a text editor.
Add the OBJECT and EMBED tags. For examples, refer to Oracle JInitiator tags for a base HTML file.
This example illustrates the Oracle JInitiator markup for a Forms application.
In the example, the blue section is Microsoft Internet Explorer-specific. The red section is Netscape Navigator-specific. Adding each section to your base HTML file will enable your applications to run within both Netscape and Microsoft web browsers.
For more information about the OBJECT and EMBED tags, refer to JINIT_TAGS.HTM.

Modify the text as desired.
Save your changes.
The runtime operation of Oracle JInitiator may be configured through the use of the Oracle JInitiator Control Panel.
Note : The default maximum heap size for Oracle JInitiator is 64 Megs. This has been set for you when you install Oracle JInitiator.
From the Start menu, choose Start Settings Control Panel. Then double-click the "JInitiator 220.127.116.11" icon.
Click the Basic tab.
In the Java Run Time Parameters field, specify the maximum heap size by adding a "-Xmx" parameter. For example, specifying "-Xmx64m" sets the maximum heap size to 64 MB.
To view Oracle JInitiator output, simply double-click the JInitiator icon on your Windows task bar:
This will bring up the JInitiator console.
The operation of the JAR caching mechanism provided by Oracle JInitiator can be controlled through the "Cache" tab of the JInitiator Control Panel:
From the Start menu, choose Start Settings Control Panel. Then double-click the "JInitiator 22.214.171.124" icon.
Click the Cache tab.
You will see the following:
Here you can change the following settings:
Enable and disable JAR caching: Check or uncheck the "Enable JAR Caching" checkbox.
Erase all files from the JAR cache: Click the "Clear JAR Cache" button.
Change the JAR cache location: Type a new directory in the "Location" field, or press the folder icon to choose a directory.
Change the JAR cache size: The cache size is the maximum amount of hard disk space used by JInitiator to store cached JAR files. You can enter a new maximum size using the Maximum field. You can enter the size as a number of bytes, KiloBytes, or MegaBytes using the drop down list. Alternatively, you can select "Unlimited" to specify that no maximum cache size should be used. Warning: the unlimited setting may cause your hard drive to become full.
Set the JAR cache compression level: By default, JAR files are stored in the cache with no compression. This provides optimum performance. However, if you have limited disk space, you may choose to compress cached JAR files. This will allow more JAR files to be stored in a given maximum cache size. Simply drag the Compression slider to the right. There are ten levels of compression, with the highest being all the way to the right. Higher compressoin levels allow more JAR files to fit into the cache, but also decrease performance.
The initial download of the JAR files used by an applet can take a significant amount of time. Oracle JInitiator 184.108.40.206 and later contain a progress dialog to provide feedback to the end user on the progress of these JAR file downloads. The progress dialog appears when a user navigates to an Oracle JInitiator enabled web page and remains on the screen until the download is complete. The progress dialog tracks the progress both with a visual progress bar and a text based indicator. When the download is complete, the progress dialog automatically closes and the applet starts.
The progress dialog can be optionally configured to display the name of the product being started and a splash screen image for the product. The configuration parameters used to control the display are discussed in the Progress Dialog Parameters section.
The image below shows what the progress dialog appears like when it is configured to display the name of the product being started.
The image below shows what the progress dialog appears like when it is configured to display the name and a splash screen for the product..
The progress dialog is unobtrusive to the end user. The end user can put other windows on top of the dialog, move the dialog, minimize it, and even close it. If the user minimizes the dialog, the title of the dialog will be updated with the current progress. This allows the user to track the progress even with the dialog minimized by looking at the Windows task bar:
If the user closes the progress dialog, the download will proceed and the applet will start up normally. The end user will not see the progress information as the JAR files are downloaded.
The progress dialog is controlled by specifying parameters in the Oracle JInitiator tag in the HTML page used to launch the applet. The parameters that are recognized by the progress dialog and their actions are listed below.
Property Name |
Property Values |
Description |
java_showprogress |
true | false |
Setting this parameter to "true" enables the progress dialog. By default, the progress dialog is not shown. |
java_preloadjars |
Any jar files | Preloads the jar files specified.
In order for the VM to be able to display a progress bar the VM needs to know the size of the jar files loaded to the client, and since Forms jar files are downloaded incrematally when ever they are needed this is the only way for the JVM to calculate the size of the jar files. You should only specify the jar files that initially needs to be loaded to the client. |
java_appletname |
Any string |
Optional parameter.
java_progressimage |
The URL for the image to be used as the splash screen. |
Optional parameter.
java_progressjars |
Comma delimited list of JAR files to track progress of. |
Optional Parameter.
The HTML text below is an example of a HTML page that is used to launch an Oracle Forms application and which also displays the progress dialog to track the download of the JAR file specified in the ARCHIVE tag.

The Science Of The Next 150 Years: 100 Years in the Future
The End of Nature: During the long economic boom ignited by the robotics revolution of the 2020s, the population became ever more concentrated in wealthy megacities, and vat-grown genetically modified foods became the norm. Most people lost any meaningful connection to nature: Who needs the real thing when you have a computer-generated sensory facsimile, complete with designer drugs to complete the experience? Interest in wild animals and outdoor activities were for purists—the kind of people who still opted for "flesh sex." Among the perfumed, synthetic orchids of urban parks, the environmental movement of the mid-20th century seemed like an atavistic longing for the primitive. Carbon emissions soared.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of Friends.
- Online Volunteer Application
- Volunteer and Membership Application in MS Word format
- Volunteer and Membership Application in Adobe PDF format
You don't have to be a member of the Friends to volunteer, but we hope you will. Together we do remarkable things to support the public library.
Next training: January 6th from 9am-11:30am
Many people think that volunteering means investing a lot of time. But we have a need for "short-term" volunteers to help us with the book sales. Just signing up for a couple of 4 hour shifts is a tremendous help. Below is a list with general descriptions of the jobs needed for a book sale.
- Greeter – Greet customers, hand out maps, answer the phone, provide information on category locations, discount specials, and other book sale details.
- Floor – Pull books from stock areas and place on shelves, put "go-back" books back onto shelves.
- Reader – Sort customers' selections and fill out tally sheets, bag customers' books.
- Cashier – Ring up sales according to tally sheets, handle money, run credit card transactions.
- Checker – Hand out exit promotional materials, verify that items were paid for.
- Parking – Direct customers to available parking.
We also have positions in our warehouse and in our downtown store, see our calendar for training dates and times.
Our volunteers do need some training. Let us know if you're interested so that we can get you scheduled appropriately.
p.s. Volunteering has its perks: for every full shift you work, you receive a thank-you dollar and six ½ price coupons for your own book purchases.

Hello Beer Friends Nation!
While one Beer Friend held down the fort in NYC, the other three travelled out to the Great (Brewery) State of Colorado for a look around. Below is a brief recap of the days and breweries we hit.
August 12th -
Phil, James (honorary BF this trip) and Brad arrive in Colorado Springs, quickly finding themselves standing in front of a liquor store cooler inspecting the new and interesting beers in the cooler. Then a quick run around Garden of the Gods, in North-west Colorado Springs. Then a drive to Denver to pick up Graham and back home for our first beers of the tour – an extension of Christmas in July/August with a New Belgium 2 Below and Odell's Isolation Ale to kick off the trip (beers remaining from my winter holiday trip home).
August 13th -
A beautiful drive to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. After taking some time to find a campsite (be sure to call ahead) we stop at our first brewery, Estes Park Brewery. This small brewery stays true to their roots, producing small batches to sell to local stores and supply their pub which is upstairs. A few highlights were the Trail Ridge Red – also known as the Redrum Ale (playing off the famed Stanley Hotel in Estes Park – inspiration for the Steven King novel "The Shining") and the Estes Park Porter. Then we headed into Fort Collins to check out Coopersmiths Pub and Brewing and Equinox Brewery a short walk away. Equinox had a great feel – a bit of a coffee house vibe, it's a bar without any heels and no Coors Light on draft. We enjoyed their sampler with six offerings – Sunrise Golden Ale, Vernal Hefeweizen, MidSummer Pale Ale, Orbit ESB, Zenith IPA, and the Sunset Stout. All we very enjoyable but MidSummer Pale Ale was a favorite of these Beer Friends. From there we headed to a favorite drinking hole – Old Chicago, had a few before returning to the forrest.

Writing about my plans for the weeks has completely gone to pot so I think I will change it properly and try to link it with the week that was from now on.
Last week was a week of running about but not actually doing too much!
Monday work and K finished school at 13:00 due to parent teacher meetings which would be on all week.
Tuesday Buster had a dietician appointment and K was out early again
Wednesday I took a half day from work and went to K's parent teacher meeting. K has settled in and is happy at school but her concentration is lacking and as such she is finding it hard to retain information. I am going to buy her a fidget toy and see if that helps her concentrate in class and work on maths as well as reading at home. I went out for an hours walk and did 6 miles before coming home and taking K to her swimming lesson.
Thursday I had a dentist appointment followed by the seventh week of my Home-start volunteers course. Then into work. Thursday night I was messing around and hit my toes on the chair leg and have wrecked my toes.
Friday K was off school and both buster and K went to their nannies. I went to A&E to check if my toes were broken, thankfully they are ok but they are strapped up so no training for the next 10 days.
Saturday K and Buster went with their nanny to their aunts partners farm and got to watch a sheep being born – this didn't lead to any lovely conversations!! I went shopping and took photos for mother's day presents.
Sunday Mothers Day K had a breakfast party for me and after I went out on a photography lesson with my dad. Sunday dinner at mums followed before home to bed.

Real-time bidding (RTB) provides a great opportunity for companies to vastly increase their online presence to an interested audience.
However, as this market continues to grow, the options available to brands for management of their RTB increase and choosing the right agency for your company's needs becomes harder.
One of the main problems faced with anyone researching their options for RTB management is that they have to navigate a minefield of display ecosystems, agencies, DSPs, trading desks etc.
However, in choosing an RTB agency to build and manage successful campaigns the most important first questions to ask are not always the most technical.
Having been involved with a number of RTB pitches and working with our clients we have found they have gained the most from asking questions such as those outlined below:

Below, he answers some questions about the new programmatic direct landscape and other topics covered in the report.
by Monica Savut 05 December 2013 15:01pm 1 comment
In a competitive real-time bidding marketplace it is important for demand-side platforms (DSPs) to deliver a high level of service and manage client expectations, however our new Online Advertisers Survey Report suggests that this isn't always the case.
On the plus side though, marketers also appear to be pleased with the targeting and reporting capabilities that DSPs can offer.
In fact, improved targeting was cited as the main benefit (67%) of working with DSPs, followed by real-time understanding of campaign performance (53%) and the ability to buy at impression level (53%).

The benefits of RTB (real-time bidding) are something that's often debated in marketing circles, as though it has obvious advantages in allowing advertisers to name their price for specific users RTB is criticised for relying on poor ad inventory and resulting in inflated prices.
But regardless of where you stand on the relative pros and cons of RTB, it's fair to say that the technology has fundamentally altered the way that online advertising is bought and sold.
Our new Online Advertisers Survey Report asked 650 advertisers and agencies about the benefits of real-time bidding and found that more than half of advertisers see improved performance (62%) as the main advantage.
This was followed by reduced wastage (54%), lower cost per acquisition (53%) and better targeting capabilities (46%).

My recent blogs on content and data have led to subsequent conversations about the role of content within RTB (real time bidding). In particular, how the recent announcements from Google, concerning programmatically served content, will play out over the next 18 months.
It's important when dazzled with new announcements from tech megabrands in particular to get perspective. To help set the context, here's a recap of my experience of the rise of programmatic media.

One thing is certain: RTB is going to continue to grow, and is already established as the de facto transaction protocol for remnant display buying and selling.

"Only One More Day Left to Be on the..."
I have been big boobs girl since high school. There's never been a time when I've loved my breasts. They made me self-conscious I feel like they rob me my confidence and my health. They ruined my posture and my weight (I start gaining weight to make them proportion to my body). And I was constantly aware of how much trouble they caused me. When I got dressed, when I was running, when speak... more
My surgery is in 32 hours and I'm pretty freaked. I wear a size 30G bra, for context. Honestly, as long as they're small I don't really care about scarring or nipple sensation or anything like that. So I'm not freaked about really anything to do with the results, but I've never had surgery or anything close before and it's pretty scary. I have an anxiety disorder, which doesn't help. I'm... more
"Can't Believe I Did It, and Can't..."
Hello! I was an early developer and was wearing a D cup by the time I was 13 years old. I got a lot of unwanted attention throughout my younger years and was actually molested. I've always hated my boobs (and not because of the ugly attention I got for them) but because I always looked frumpy and heavy and disproportionate with them. I was never a heavy teenager, but I always felt insecure and... more
"5ft, 155lb, 34G - Hoping for..."
I've always had large breasts. For a long time I never thought seriously about a breast reduction, but as they keep getting bigger, I've given it a bit more thought. I've been researching and thinking for the last month or so - not long, I know, but I've got a little less than a year left before I'm too old to be insured by my parents, so I've got no time to lose, really. I'm going in for a... more
"A Very Positive Change - Seattle, WA"
I'd considered having a breast reduction for years. I struggled with all of the typical problems. Back and neck pain, rashes under my breast line, my clothes didn't fit right. I just didn't feel good about myself. I had a consult a year prior to seeing Dr. Cooper and my insurance denied my request. I thought about it for several months and decided that I didn't want to live the second half of... more
"Best Experience -Seattle, WA"

"Opinion on Breast Reduction -..."
I am going to be 19 years old and considering a breast reduction. My boobs have been large for as long as I can remember. I used to go to my mom in tears crying that nothing fit on top. Currently I am a 36 DDD. I have tried exercising, but as my waist gets smaller, my boobs don't. Over the past couple years it has gotten more and more painful. Recently I have been experiencing back and neck... more
"21 Days Post Op - New Photos"
Like most, since I made the decision to move forward with the reduction, I have been pouring through this site reading everyone's stories non-stop, lol. It has been very informative and a little gruesome honestly, but at least I know what to expect. About me - I am 37, 5' 7" and 155lb. I have wanted a breast reduction since my mid twenties and even went so far as to have a consultation... more
"Still no back pain YAY! Last Post..."
I have had large breasts since 4th grade. I am 35 now and have had two children. I have so much back and neck pain that I see the Chiropractor every week and have a massage. I have never loved my breast. They only have only been a problem unless I am in an custom made evening gown and I look like Jessica Rabbit.It is Dec. 15 today. Three days since my surgery. I am pretty groggy from the... more
"Up Hill Battle with Surgeons &..."
I found a surgeon in April. Their first request for authorization to my insurance was denied. The surgeons office didn't call me or write me once it was denied. It was denied for a very basic reason, they didn't say how much they were going to take off and didn't did get/send all my medical records. When I called them they said they would call me back to let if the doctor 'wanted' to appeal.... more
"Starting to Raise Money - Seattle, WA"
When I was 12 I had Es and was only 5'0". In the last five years I've grown 2 inches and 4 cup sizes. I am really poor and so can not afford bras in my size. The only bra I have that fits was bought by my ex boyfriend because he wanted me to be in less pain, and it's barely helped. I am about to launch an Indiegogo campaign to raise the money, and am hoping that in 4 months when the campaign... more

Like many other women here, I have struggled with my breast... more
"Glad About my Decision Every Day -..."
When I finally decided to have breast reduction surgery at 45, I was looking for a doctor that could not only understand my issues, but also for someone that I could trust to help with me with no frills. I am so glad that I found Dr. Peters, who provided exactly that. When she told me in the initial consultation that she would tell me if there was something to worry about, and otherwise I... more

My story is similar to so many that I have read here. I developed early, and can remember having "big boobs" as early as 7th grade. At that age, being overly developed was something to be admired almost. I secretly wished that I wasn't known as "the girl with big boobs" but never shared these feelings. As time went on, my boobs continued to be disproportionately larger than the rest of my body... more
"The Results Are Disappointing -..."
I received a breast reduction from dr. Gottlieb in 2004 as a 19 year old. Never did he explain the risks of potentially not being able to breast feel. One breast is considerably bigger than the other. No sensation in one nipple. One nipple is positioned a lot different from the other. He seemed rather aloof, and I wish my 19 year old self would have explored different surgeons. I now at 27, am... more
"Have Been Waiting for Years - Renton, WA"
So excited to finally schedule the breast reduction I have wanted and planned for since college. I'm a 35 year old mother of 2 boys. I have always had large breasts, currently at 34DD, and have always been disgusted by them. I love to exercise and have a very physical job, they are always in the way and feel very inappropriate. After breastfeeding both my boys, they are large and saggy. I... more
"Update: ONE YEAR LATER (Starting my..."
I decided to share my story as all of you have been so helpful. I really appreciate all the info and photos! I am 47 and live in the Seattle area. I have always had larger breasts but now they are just huge. Not really sure of the size. But at least a DD. I'm 5'6, a little overweight. I have lost weight in the past but the boobs stayed pretty big. I have all the typical symptoms.... more
"Best Thing I Ever Did for Myself! -..."
Best thing I ever did. Surgeon did good job, I recovered fine after two weeks on my back, and life's been better physically ever since. It also kept my breasts perkier so 25 years later, my breasts are in better condition than many women, if not most. Even better techniques for this surgery are available today than they were back then. more
"I'd Do It Again in a Heartbeat -..."
My breasts were far too large for my frame - so large that they measured larger than my hips. I had upper back pain, tense shoulders, pain in my neck, tension headaches, strap indents, not to mention extreme difficulty finding clothes that fit! I'd been seeing specialists (chiropractor, massage therapy, etc) for months prior to surgery to no avail. I was ready for the ladies to go... more
"Recovery Was Not Difficult, and Was..."
I've disliked my breasts forever, but after menopause they became even larger, to my horror. I'm absolutely thrilled with my 32 Ds now! They are perky and I could even go bra-less, if I was so inclined. Dr. Peters is a master at her craft. I totally trusted her going into the process, and I was not disappointed. I believe she has to be one of the very best. For me, there was also... more
"Breast Lift and Reduction, my D+..."
Tired of slogging around my 32F breasts on a fairly small frame, I took action. Dr S understood not only did I want them put back to the place they had started 30 years ago, but I didn't want them to sag again. She agreed they were out of proportion for my frame. I still wear a DD cup but am much higher and perkier. I have a waist again, defiantly took years off my figure and now I... more
Although I was in my early 40's, my breasts looked like those of someone in their 60's or older because of sagging. I had very large breasts all my life and always wished to have smaller, perkier breasts. Dr. G did an outstanding job with my breast reduction/lift. I was a difficult case. I was a cup size F and had very significant sagging. I also had a benign... more
"Fantastic Results - Seattle, WA"
I went to dr. G for a breast reduction and ab lipo after several recommendations and viewing his online photos. My results are even more than I hoped for. My scars are hardly visible, and it's only been 3 weeks since the procedure. My breasts look natural, firm and perfect proportions. more
"Listens to What the Patient Wants -..."
I have always felt that my breasts were too large, restricting athletic activities, and not fitting the image of myself I desired. Since my reduction I get comments about looking younger, fitter, and thinner. more
"A Surgeon You Will Like and Trust -..."
This procedure was a bit more expensive for me because I had a significant amount of liposuction done as well. When the insurance company said no, I chose to pay out of pocket. It was absolutely worth it. The best part is all the compliments I am receiving about how much more self confident I seem. more
"A+, Caring, Professional - Bellevue, WA"
After many years of back aches and droopy breasts, I decided at age 50 to have a breast reduction. I have been to this office for Botox before and the staff is nothing less than professional and caring. My overall experience was better than anticipated. I was walking my regular eight miles within a week. I did have a small infection which the doctor immediately sent to the lab for... more
"Breast Reduction Surgery Gave Me a..."
I decided to begin a low impact exercise regime as I entered my 50's. The pain of the weight and heaviness of my breasts kept me from exercising to my full potential. I then decided to have breast reduction surgery. I was in and out the same day of my surgery. I had very little discomfort. Over the course of 5 days I took a total of 3 Vicodin! The only reason I need the third pill was... more
I just discovered this forum because I am researching methods to correct undereye skin...but given how nervous I was before my breast reduction ten years ago, and how much I wish I had a forum like this, I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that it will help someone. I was twenty one years old, five feet tall and one hundred pounds. My breasts were a thirty two DOUBLE D. I had... more
"Breast Reduction is the Best Thing..."
First of all, my reduction was performed in October, 2008, covered by insurance 100% except for the cost of some pain medication. My surgeon's office handled all the paperwork. I did have to see my regular doctor once to confirm it was needed and this cost me a $15 co-pay. I think the cost I input was approximately my total out of pocket expense for everything. My pre surgery bra size was... more

This is Staceee ("With 3 E's"), the self-proclaimed fitness guru of Joplin, Missouri and the inventor of "Stacercizing- a revolutionary, brand new, new innovative workout combining martial arts, yoga, jazzercise, weight training and African Dance learned while overseas….in Cambodia". I should also let you know that Staceee was created WAY before one Mr. Charlie Sheen decided to rip off her signature catchphrase "Winning is Awesome!". But that's a story for US Weekly's "Feud of the Week" column.
Staceee is a character in my Solo Sketch Comedy show, "Mirror Mirror On The Wall", which I perform at The Peoples Improv Theater in New York City. People all over tend to identify with Staceee on some level. Perhaps it is due to her intensity and passion for physical fitness and excellence. Perhaps it is because her essence is devoted to the betterment of mankind's exercise regimine. Perhaps it is because she has awesome hair and subsists on a diet of Snickers Bars and Mountain Dew. Regardless, everywhere she goes, she leaves enchanted mammals in her wake. Traveling in a foreign land was no different, as I came to understand when I brought her with me to Burma in December of 2010.
My friend JoJoLen (her real name is 'Joellen', but no one in Asia could pronounce it, hence her new moniker) and I landed in the town of Bagan on the last leg of our journey in Burma. Bagan is a dry, arid place the size of Manhattan. It is dotted with over 2,000 Buddhist temples built about 1,000 years ago. The place is rad, and to explore the temples and their secret passageways is to know childhood again. Except this time around your older brother isn't always trying to drown you in the bathtub for fun. On our fourth day in Bagan, we decided to take Staceee out for a spin to capture film footage of her "Spiritual Journeee" in Asia. It needs to be noted that Staceee only ever wears two things- the outfit seen above or her leisure garment- which is a bright yellow muumuu bedazzled with rhinestone animals and made by a company called "African Essence".
Staceee set out on a bicycle with JoJoLen following behind, filming her majesty. We filmed a lot of long tracking shots because in guerilla filmmaking you never know when you're going to score the money shot. And score the money shot, we did. Imagine it- Staceee on her bicycle, mullet and African Essence muumuu floating in the wind, a long sandy road, sun beating down when suddenly she comes upon a group of Buddhist Novice Monks (aka "Baby Monks"). They exchange the traditional Burmese greeting of "Mingalaba!" and then they are on their way- just a bunch of spiritual gangstas on the road to enlightenment, as evidenced in the photo below:
Staceee's wig got to bothering me, given the high temperatures and my sensitive, supple skin. I put her in my bicycle's front basket and we continued cruising around, our work done for the day. An hour later we came across the same Baby Monks with their Big Monk. They stopped us and Big Monk pointed to my basket. I feared that I had offended these monks, that somehow wearing a mullet wig and an African muumuu around their temples was inappropriate. But Big Monk pointed to Staceee and then pointed to me again and again. He spoke no English. I spoke no Burmese. But I garnered that he wanted me to put on her mullet wig, so I did. And they all broke out in the biggest smiles ever. Then I put on the African Essence muumuu and then the party really got started. They looked at me as if I were the Second Coming. Like I was some sort of mythical and magical beast, as in a minotaur or Rod Stewart. Finally, I thought to myself, I know what it is to be adored as Beyonce is adored. People, I have been Beyonce, and let me tell you, being Beyonce is pretty awesome.
So while I'm busy being Beyonce for my enormous crowd of 7 Burmese Monks, JoJoLen (ever the director) begins taking photos of the exchange. Big Monk is standing within a couple inches of my face. Then Big Monk says something to a Baby Monk and the kid goes tearing down the road to the monastery. Baby Monk is walking back to us a couple minutes later with something in his hands when Big Monk shouts at Baby Monk and he begins to run. Apparently the Baby Monk was too slow in Big Monk's opinion. Below, a snapshot of Baby Monk when he broke out into a run:
Turns out, Big Monk had requested his digital camera to capture some stills of he and Staceee. Big monk is standing within inches of my face, and he is entranced by the majesty of Staceee. He cannot stop saying, "Ladday, ladday, ladday, ladday, ladday," which we come to discover means "Beautiful". The ridiculousness of the situation became apparent. Here was this man who, in the most earnest way possible, was telling me that Staceee was beautiful. Mullet wig, gas station sunglasses and upside down smile to boot. But Big Monk was staring so intently at my face, whispering sweet nothings and I almost lost it. I don't know how to explain what happened. I realized that I had never been gazed upon by someone like this before. It wasn't just that he was looking at me. He was seeing me, really seeing me, with his entire body. And at first I resisted the intensity, because it made me super uncomfortable. But the walls I erect by nature, without being conscious of them most of the time, came crashing down. And I knew what it was to finally be present, and to allow myself to be in this moment with him, without needing to justify or quantify it. I finally snapped back into myself, and started wondering how the hell I ended up on a dirt road, in a foreign land, wearing a mullet wig and being accosted by a gaggle of Burmese Monks. We snapped a few photos, and while the Baby Monks seem rather unimpressed, their sentiments in real life were the opposite:
When I was riding off the plain, I couldn't help but give a shout-out of thanks to all of the roads that had led me there, to that one moment of true realization that while our circumstances may differ greatly, in the end, our humanity does not.

This is probably the best single pitch of 5.5 at the Trapps. The climbing so steep, you can't believe you are on a 5.5! The start is to the left of Laurel and to the right of Nosedive, at a crack system with the stump of a tall skinny tree about 15' up, below a huge hanging corner that you'll soon be walking out. P1: Start in the obvious crack system leading to the large right-facing dihedral that starts 25' off the ground. Clip a fixed pin at the roof, and continue up the fun dihedral. At the tiered roof above, traverse left around the nose to a small ledge. (Optional belay here). Continue up the crack and face to the top of the cliff. A real gem... You can rap with two ropes (one 70m -may- get you close to the ground, but the last 40' of the rappel are free-hanging. You do the math!), but consider that the carriage road is at its busiest point here, with dogs and babies and cyclists and tourists hanging out -right- where your ropes will land, blindly, when you toss them. Walking down by the Uberfall Descent is usually the best option.
Standard Rack.
This is a great route, with what seems like a lot of exposure on the traverse left to the arete, above the large roof. You can establish a somewhat hanging belay at the arete, at the end of the traverse, if your second will need a lot of encouragement on the traverse. This is the "optional belay" that is referred to in the route description. I once enountered a very large black snake in the horizontal crack that you use for your hands as you do the traverse. I shouted "Shoo! Shoo!" at the snake, until it retreated far enough into the crack that I could (very, very quickly) traverse past it. My partner on that day, Bryan MacDonald, who has a serious snake phobia, was horrified. Folks who come from afar to climb at the Gunks should be alert for unusual wildlife encounters at the crag.
Very busy, but worth it if you can get on it. The traverse is one of the easiest parts of the route in terms of climbing difficulty in my opinion, but it can be intimidating. If you use your slings properly, you'll have no troubles with rope drag doing this in one pitch.
I really did not enjoy this route at all. There just wasn't anything great about it, except for the 1 foot approach from the carriage trail.
Joe said: I really did not enjoy this route at all. There just wasn't anything great about it, except for the 1 foot approach from the carriage trail. Dude, if you can find a steeper more exciting pitch of 5.5. Let me know. This route kicks ass!
Try to find one route in SE Arizona that is that cool. You can't. It is climbs like that that make the Gunks so fun. Steep enough to feel like real climbing. More than one pitch. Nice air and it is so easy even a total beginner can succeed. I love this route.
This was the first trad lead i ever did. What a blast, The Gunks are full of awesome rock features like this. 5.5 or 5.10 the quality of this route is great. i'll never forget this climb.
Just revisting some gunks routes since i've moved away from the northeast. this was one of the BEST ROUTES EVER! me and a buddy from work i had just met drove down to the gunks for our very first trad leads. he borrowed some gear from his dad, i bought a new set of stoppers and tricams. perfect fall sky. i started up the face and slung a root ... cool, natural pro. got to the corner and smiled and internal giggled the entire way to the traverse. put maybe a hand sized cam in and wet my pants trying to get around the arete. was so shaken at this point i built a belay right over the drop off, huge ass roof ... yeah biiiatch! my buddy gets up and leads up the golden, sunlit face as you clear the shade from the trees. then, still giddy, rap off into space as we clear the huge roof. unforgettable. one 60m, piecemeal rack to hand size, new friends, virgin adventure. awesome.
The climbing is really great and the gear is good, but the noise from the road can be a major bummer for this climb and the others at the Uberfall. So much so that communication will be a problem if you run both pitches together.
This is a great climb, best done in a single pitch. The first pitch is getting a bit polished in places, but, it's still great. P2 is just pure climbing pleasure.
Did a night ascent of this it was incredible
Watch out for "guides" spraying "beta" in your ear as they tail you or your second up P1. Awesome otherwise. My first Gunks climb. The traverse is ... airy. My partner yelled, "It's only 5.5!"
One can also climb directly through the corner in one pitch rather than traversing left onto the face. It probably ups the rating a half-grade - maybe - but takes great pro, has tremendous fingerlocks, and feels awesome. Be careful with how the rope runs if you do this, as it can jam in the crack at the lip of the OH.
Can you imagine a better 5.5 in the world? I can't.
Feels more like a 5.4 if you do the traverse right.
I just spent a day with two climbers for their first day at the Gunks. I have to agree with the polish question - the crux of Frogs Head is pretty hard for 5.6- with all the polish, and we encountered some smooth spots on Horseman as well. I've never heard anyone question the rating of Horseman in 20 years. It might be the defining 5.5 in the Gunks. Does anyone claim that there isn't some 5.5 climbing in the last half of the second pitch?
My first "real" trad lead, and it felt great. The traverse wasn't as bad as the climbers before me made it look, but there is some air out there. After the traverse, its pretty easy climbing with loads of solid gear and even a few pins (if you're into old rusty iron pro).
This route is as good as it could ever get for the grade. Great stemming and bomber holds. However, that semi hanging belay sucks, ancient pins with not much oportunity to back it up. I found it unnerving and very uncomfortable. Better to bring a lot of gear and a dozen or more runners, and run it right up the corner to the top in one pitch. Totally classic as one pitch. Maybee a bit harder as one other has said.
The start of the climb is somewhat challenging.
This climb is really getting polished. It's still fun, but, it's not my first choice in the uberfall.
As many have recommended, it's best to do this route as a single pitch (bring yer runners). If you want to belay after the traverse though, the rusty fixed pins do have a decent backup. There's a crack 1-2 feet above them that will fit a purple tricam, a red camalot and a green camalot.
Excellent, excellent moderate climb. Pro is abundant, but tricky, and crux is a little committing, so I wouldn't recommend for a beginner lead, despite the grade.
Great climb! Moves are on the soft side for Gunks 5.5, but I still find it a somewhat heady/uncomfortable lead. Gear placement is ample but occasionally thoughtful, good amount of exposure, some of the footholds before the traverse are a tiny bit awkward, and there is the potential for a good amount of rope drag if you don't extend enough.
Great climb with great photo ops. Taught a friend how to lead, used this as a first lead. Good pro all the way up.
My first trad lead in September. Awesome climb for the grade! There is really no reason for breaking it into 2 pitches unless your 2nd needs encouragement at the traverse. Rapped safely from the tree anchor with one 60m rope to the ground
What happened to the tree on p1?
What happened to the tree on p1? Time, love & tenderness.
Fantastic climb for the grade. I cannot fathom why anyone would want to do it in two pitches, even with a new follower. I've had rocks dropped on me from parties rapping this route more than once. Really, people? The walk-off takes about 4 minutes; are you that lazy to risk raining rocks down on the most crowded part of the carriage road? The station at the top should be chopped; rapping is just too dangerous (given the crowds and the loads of gumbies who climb this) in that spot and serves absolutely no purpose. Just walk down! I'd also be ok chopping the belay in the middle. Anyone who needs to break it up for a beginner partner can do so with a bomber gear anchor; no need for the pins.
Great climb for a 5.5! My 60 meter rope got us within 4 feet of the carriage road and down safely.

Directed by Michel Gondry (2006) Starring: Gael Garcia Bernal, Charlotte Gainsborough, Alain Chabat, Miou-Miou
This was one of those movies that got hyped up a lot when I was in high school, but ended up on my list of Indie Disappointments. Michel Gondry creates an interesting premise of a young man who gets his dreams and reality confused while he lives in France after his father's death.
Gael Garcia Bernal plays Stephane in a tri-lingual role, which is impressive in itself, but he's given pointedly childish material to work with. While Stephane is stuck with a job he hates and reluctantly falls in love with his neighbor Stephanie (Gainsborough), he is extremely petulant. His dreams take place in a TV studio, where he's the host for a cooking or music or talk show. He'll venture into the office of his boss or explore the stop-motion animated world, which is at once a cave.
Gondry crafts the unreality of Stephane's dreaming very well. Set pieces tend to fold together while the dream logic is paramount, between what the water is made of (cellophane) and how the dream-characters act. When Stephane begins to act outside of his dreams, such as leaving Stephanie a letter he wrote while asleep, he gets caught in problems. Stephane is childish in everything: He hates his mother's boyfriend and his boring coworkers. He continues to sleep in his childhood bed even though he's outgrown it. Most notably, he keeps up the charade of not-being the neighbor of Stephanie, even after she's found out.
What's genuine are the scenes where Stephane and Stephanie share their imaginations. They're sweet little sets with a flexible reality as the characters come up with brilliant ideas. However, these ideas never come to fruition, and it's the fault of both characters. Stephane won't make a move, while Stephanie is reluctant to get hurt.
The dream sequences won me over, but they didn't make up for the thin, character-driven plot in reality.
