Customer Reviews for By the Sea Inn and Spa (19)
August 12, 2013
Not as great
I have been going for a few years and I am becoming disappointed with their customer service and lack of progression. The services I receive are always great but the receptionists are almost always rude, phone service is generally terrible and the relaxation area leaves much to be desired. I return only because of exceptional service from the person that provides my services. But even that may not be enough to keep me coming back.

The past 3 times I called this spa they we very rude on the phone. I called to inquire about having a group bridal party instead of a bacholorette and they are NOT helpful on the phone at all. Both times I called I got different people on the phone and they were both rude. They act as if they don't need or want your business. I've been to this spa in the past and the girls that do massage and nails are very nice but the front desk is awful. They do not give off a welcoming vibe but more of the feeling that they think they are better than you. New flash... Your a receptionist, get a grip!

Very nice spa
I like this spa for manis/pedis but the facilities are a bit small and I prefer a locker/changing area for massages and facials. I have had a very nice massage there once, but I do have to say that the room wasn't very quiet since I could hear the passing road traffic. But I have always had great manis/pedis and their retail area is fantastic.

Facials, manicures and pedicures
By the Sea is a good everyday spa. The service is solid and reliable. I was recently at a large spa party and they did a great job with meeting the needs of all the women.

Overall I have an average experience each time I go to this spa. The location is extremely convenient to my home and generally I am able to get in on short notice. If I am able to plan in advance I go elsewhere.

Pretty Mediocre
I've visited By the Sea three times for facials, and have had a variety of mediocre experiences each time: 1. First aestetician left room twice for a total of 20 minutes during 60-minute treatment, leaving me under blankets on overheated table, and talked about her personal life during the facial. I left treatment with gobs of goo in my hair. 2. Treatment rooms are very dated and not all that clean. 3. No real knowledge about products used and available in the shop. 3. I've received two gift certificates from the spa when I followed up about the service, but the treatments are so medicre that I don't especially want to return, even for free. Overall, they do a fair job and seem to benefit from no real competition on the Shoreline area. The prices seem high for the quality of the facilities, and the staff needs more training, both in skills and customer service. Not really worth the $$$.

Relaxation begins as you walk through the door!
The atmosphere is tranquil and transports one to the carefree times of a summer at the beach. The soothing music and aromas of herbal teas evoke peace as you wait in the comfy salon. I have had great massages, an herbal facial, and many mani-pedi's, and am pleased with the staff and the results.

What a great time
I booked a pedicure with my mom at By the Sea a few weeks ago. Wow, what a great time we had! The staff was incredible, I felt like I was out with the girls. We all gabbed like we've known each other forever. The pedi was very well done and extremely relaxing, the whole experience was fantastic. I would absolutely recommend By the Sea for any excursion with your girlfriends.

Perfect Getaway
My husband and I just spent the most lovely two day getaway at By the Sea! This was not our first visit, and will not be our last! I am a middle school teacher and needed a place to unwind and rejuvinate during my Feb. break. By the Sea treated us royally. We checked into the Queen Anne room which is exquisitely decorated and wonderfully comfortable. The decor is stunning, you just have to relax the minute you step into the room. The bed is huge, colonial four post with gorgeous wood and was so comfortable. We slept like babies. We were delighted to find a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and shelves filled with every toiletry item you would need. The place was sparkling clean, yet warm and inviting. My husband loved the sunlit porch where we lounged for breakfasts. Don't expect to lose any weight here. A plentiful tray of delectable pastries, bagels and freshly baked breads awaited us each morning. The fridge was well stocked with juices, spreads, cream cheeses and yogurts. A big bowl of fruit was available too. My husband is a coffeeholic and enjoyed the fresh brewed, hot coffee awaiting him, along with the morning paper front and center. This gave us the perfect start to our day as we took the time to visit the Yale University art museum which was just a few minutes drive away. The museum has a good collection and was well worth the trip. Downtown New Haven had lots to offer, several little shops and boutiques, it was a great time. When we returned we had an unbelievable one hour sweedish massage. We hadn't planned to have the massage, but the receptionist was very accomodating as she tried to fit us in and work with our schedule. We changed into the luxuriously thick robes provided us, along with the plush slippers that were available in our room. We found the waiting / reception area to be very quiet and comfortable. The comfy, overstuffed chairs and couches looked inviting, the room was dimly lit and soft music was playing - I almost fell asleep waiting to be called! My massuese was excellent, she tiptoed in and out while I prepared myself. Every move she made was quiet and respectful of my comfort. The massage ran over my time by a few minutes, and I was urged to take my time getting up. I had to force myself not to fall asleep, I was so happy I had the most wonderful room just steps away to slink into and drift into the most relaxing sleep. I would choose By the Sea anytime over any of these, cold, modern cookie-cutter spas out there today. There's some real seasoned expertise at By the Sea, a professional, yet elegant, comfortable, down home feel. We'll be back as soon as we can! Whoever owns this place is a genious! Keep up the good work!

Checking in? It will be a moment...
This quaint bed and breakfast is walking distance to the charming town of Branford and a short distance from the shore. The masseuse that each me and my accompanied guest had were professional and very capable. However, the Inn fell short of expectations regarding some key points. At the foremost was the fact that the mattress we slept on was quite old, uneven and poorly supported by a broken bed. Neither one of us had a restful sleep. In addition, our "breakfast" consisted of a "box of joe" from a coffee franchise and muffins from the same franchise. The bagels were baked locally, but there was no knife to spread the cream cheese. In addition, the plate that we used from the night before (as we had no alternative but to neatly leave it in the dining area) was still on the table where we and possibly other guests were meant to eat breakfast. The spa portion of the Inn was satisfactory, but to call yourself a bed and breakfast and not exceed at either the bed or the breakfast aspects of that title is a disappointment. As for the Spa, the condition of the house is to be expected from a home of that vintage, but the service can compensate for the poor condition by being overly caring. Although courteous and helpful, we had been scheduled to check in at 3, but didn't arrive until 5 in anticipation of a 5:45 massage appointment. Being that we were checking in a full two hours after the predetermined time, we did not expect to have to wait nearly 30 minutes to check in while our room was being cleaned. What would have happened if we had gotten there on time? Everybody on staff tried to be very helpful, but did not seem to be strict about appointments or timing. I guess that's what working at a Spa does to you?

Best Facial
I was very priviledged to recently visit By the Sea and have the most fantastic facial ever. I finally decided on having the Organic Facial. not only did it smell great by it also felt amazing. My face felt clean and i felt as though i was glowing when i left. To top off this wonderful experience, i couldnt be any happier with my estician, Mandy. She was very sweet, and informative. She gave me great tips about my skin care and what products i should be using. There was no pressure from her at all to purchase a product, I ended up purchasing the Black Thorn moisturizer and mask that she reccomended and iam feeling more and more comfortable in my own skin. Big thanks to Mandy! I would recommend this spa and treatment to all my girlfriends and i would also recommend my estician Mandy.

Best facial ever!
From start to finish, my experience was amazing. I truly felt pampered after Sara gave me the most incredible facial I've ever had. After a day of beauty, I felt like a bowl of mush!!!

Fabulous Experience:)
I love going to By The Sea(and I go pretty often). The moment I walk in the ladies at the front desk greet me with smile. My massage therapist or Esthetician always make me feel like I'm queen for the time I'm there...Great Job!

sub par massage
had a massage there which was ineffective and in a room from which I could hear the constant drone of cars passing by. (it is on a main road and quite loud). Paid 80$ for a one hour swedish massage which did not relieve my muscle tension. Went down the road for a mani-pedi for $33 and had a great experience - their automatic massage chair did a better job than the masseuse at the spa! can only speak for the massage at the spa though as have not had their other services.

fantastic facials
I have received many services at By The Sea and all have been beyond words. The latest facial I had introduced me to the Anti-Aging products by Dermologica and my skin has never looked better. I just turned 60 years old and using these products I never have to put any other foundation on my face. The women who have treated me have been exceptional. I highly recommend this spa; I wish I lived closer to it but whenever we visit our daughter in CT, By The Sea is a must!

This spa needs help!
Recently I visited By the Sea Inn & Spa. I arrived a few minutes early to get relaxed for my day at the spa. Upon arrival I sensed a negative tone; the receptionist was cold and unhelpful. This was my first visit to the spa so I was unsure of the spa's process. She told me to have a seat and my therapist would be with me in a moment. The waiting area was in another room and the only way I discovered this area was from scoping out the gift shop (the receptionist did not direct me to this area). I did not have to fill out any paperwork concering medical conditions, this concerned me. The spa is located in an older Victorian house. Cute, but not kept well; the decorations were chintzy and dusty. After waiting more than TWENTY minutes a massage therapist brought me to the treatment room, instructed me to undress (I guess there is not a locker room - strange). After getting comfortable under the covers the therapist came back into the room and apologized, she accidently brought back the wrong client (her client had the same first name as me). Rather than offering me a robe to change into I had to get dressed again to be brought back to the dingy waiting area. Another ten minutes must of passed before a frantic aesthetician instructed me to follow her. When I booked the appointment I requested to have the massage prior to the facial so this was unnerving to know I would have my facial first and have the skin care product rubbed off during the massage. At this point I had waited so long I just wanted the treatment to start. The aesthetician spoke about her personal life throughout the entire treatment, even after I expressed I was at the spa for some R&R. She told me she was going to leave the room while my mask set because she was running late and she had to see if her next client had arrived... why did she tell me this, why couldn't she just step out quietly? She RAN back into the room after 3-4 minutes to take my mask off. I ask her if the mask was on long enough; she replied, "Were running behind and I have to get you to the massage therapist." She gave me a robe to change into and I had to carry my own clothes to the same waiting area... again! The massge therapist was very pleasant, although I scheduled a 60 minute massage and received a 50 minute. I guess she could see how frustrated I was, she apologized for the unorganized day. When I checked out, I expressed my concerns and the same rude receptionist gave me an attitude as if she did not have the slightest care if I enjoyed my day or not. Overall I have to say I paid for a day that made me upset. I would have been more relaxed if I went on a NYC subway! This spa needs to get it's act together.

Veneers – Which Type Is Correct For You?
When dealing with our teeth, most of us would like them to be perfectly white. Although the situation, most of us nevertheless normally do not make a motivation to preserve our tooth white. We think that enamel bleaching procedures are considerably as well costly, prolonged, or a number of other items. This is undoubtedly not the situation. We can really have our enamel whitened without dealing with so significantly headache. It may possibly not be the situation but the field of cosmetic dental perform has advanced so considerably above the previous ten many years. Just 1 tough operate we should set in is getting a fantastic dentist like Quincy Dentist. The good information is, it is not all that challenging to find a great dentist in Quincy. The standard Quincy dentist performs tooth bleaching strategies and you could depend on practically all Quincy Dentist to often execute this sort of techniques without problems.
Cosmetic – These medical doctors specialize in improving upon the smile that is previously present. For example, if you have crooked tooth, then different strategies will be employed to proper it. Yellow or discolored teeth can also be corrected by a Cosmetic Dentist in Scottsdale AZ. Whitening gel merged with technological innovation is utilised for this goal.
Let's start off by taking a seem at some of the foods which stain enamel. In specific, espresso, tea, chocolate and crimson wine are the even worse factors to consume and consume if you want to have whiter tooth. Because all of these merchandise generate stains on your tooth. In excess of time, they will change your tooth darker and yellow in colour.
Diet is the important purpose that benefits in tooth decay in youngsters. You need to don't forget that you need to not place your kid to bed with a bottle of everything but drinking water. If you put your baby to bed with a bottle filled with milk or any sweetened liquids, then it can trigger fast and extreme tooth decay. Chewy fruit treats advertised falsely as a healthier alternative to new fruits and the comfortable beverages are yet another explanation for tooth decay. It is easy to stop your child from building tooth decay by keeping an eye on your kidEUR(TM)s diet program, comprehensive brushing and appropriate use of fluoride.
Porcelain Veneers: These veneers are very sleek (slim), and are generally employed when folks want to whiten their tooth, adjust the shape, or adjust the dimensions of their teeth. Cosmetic dentists will produce these in a lab, and then are placed on the patients tooth using a form of "dental glue". This in mind, porcelain veneer remedies are the most expensive of all the methods.
Leaving to the dentist for any faculty, this sort of as dental implants in Austin, can be unsettling, disregard less of your age. When you vacation us, we requisite your unit house to regain at ease, so we jazz designed a surround that is pacifying and welcoming to everyone.
One end result of standard visits to the dentist is a stunning smile with strait, pearly white tooth and thoroughly clean new breath. If you can, it's constantly a good point to see your dentist more often instead than significantly less often.
The greatest way to find a real "Hollywood dentist" so to talk is to look for on the Internet. There are a whole lot of reputed dentists training in Beverly Hills and are also charging a realistic amount of income for their companies.

Shea-Porter tours Portsmouth company
About 195 of the company's 300 Portsmouth-based employees manufacture more than 100 miles of custom glass slides each week and ship them around the world.
Shea-Porter learned about what is going well, and what the company's concerns are in the near future. At the top of the list is the Affordable Care Act.
Rick Jenkinson, director of government affairs for Thermo Fisher, said they see pros and cons in the act.
On the plus side, more testing means a need for more slides. On the negative side - a medical device tax that could impact the entire Thermo Fisher company by about $20 million, he said.
Shea-Porter said the hope is that the increase of people in the system will offset the tax, but she pledged to keep an eye on it.
"We want to make sure we are being fair," she said.
Shea-Porter also talked about the impact of sequestration on scientific research and the economy.
As a result of automatic budget cuts associated with sequestration, scientific research funded by the National Institutes of Health will be reduced by $1.6 billion.
Officials at Themo Fisher Scientific said they will be indirectly affected by the cuts because their customers will be impacted.
Thermo Fisher's facility in Portsmouth is one of the world's largest manufacturers of glass microscopic slides that are primarily manufacturing slides used in pathology, biomedical research and other applications.
Michael Karsonovich, vice-president and general manager of the slides and specialty glass division of Thermo Fisher Scientific, said the market for slides is relatively flat and that growth expectations are low in the coming year.
He said they would be pleased with single-digit growth.

This clay mask + Turmeric juice = Works like magic in Acne prone skin!
A must try and must have!!!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Alright so I gave two stars because I like to use this, makes everything feel pretty clean. But: it has not noticeably helped with me acne, AND:
I used this last night with ACV for about six hours as a spot treatment. I ended up using a good amount, more than I intended to because the zits were pretty small and I figured hey, it's all natural, only 6 hours, what's the harm?
Well. Not only did it not clear up the couple of zits, it made me skin WAY WORSE and gave me these bizarre RAISED RED SCARS that look as though my cat shredded her claws across my face. I thought that somehow I had cut myself or something, but I realized that the scars were located exclusively where the clay had been. They basically created an outline of irritated, messed up skin where the product was, it created contact dermatitis patches, and it's just awful, shows through makeup and looks super unpolished and gross.
I'm quite scared of using it again, but I might use it mildly, for 10 minutes or less. I do have very sensitive skin, so that could be why. Those with sensitive skin: BE CAREFUL, this can do some harm despite being natural.
At first I did not like this mask at all. I thought it was extremely clumpy and next to impossible to spread on my face. What I found out recently was that it was clumpy due to using water instead of apple cider vinegar. When used with Bragg's raw apple cider vinegar this mask turns into a very smooth paste that is so easy to spread onto skin (I did 2 tsp clay, 1 tbs ACV). The tingling that you feel is the mask drying and causing your skin to stretch; however, this mask is great at unclogging pores and getting out those nasty little blackheads I have on my nose. My husband even enjoys using this on his nose and seeing the blackheads it pulls out. Definitely recommend using this with apple cider vinegar! It made a HUGE difference in the quality of the mask IMHO.

My dad actually pointed this out to me at a health food store one time. He told me his mom (my grandma) always had it in the bathroom and that him and my uncle would use it periodically through their teen years as well as my g-ma. Who would have though my dad of all people would be the person to point this out lol
I have this on me at all times now, if I start picking one night (shame shame shame) I can always trust that a mask with this and some ACV will take the inflamation way down and basically puts my skin back where it started before I started picking.
I use this once a month (can you guess at which time?!)
This is a staple.

Oh my god. This. Stuff.
I've struggled with congested skin for years - the only time I've been truly happy with my face was a two-year stint on a now discontinued birth control. It's not that bad - my pores are small, but each one is clogged with a small grain of sebum or sebaceous filament that I have to manually extract every night. My skin is oily deep underneath, and super-dry on top. Also, since I'm no longer on BC, I get several (read - 3 to 5) cysts that take forever to heal during my period (though Mario Badescu's drying cream has definitely helped.) I've had a little help from MUAC's retinol and Paula's BHA - they make me look fresh, but still - clogs, refilling every day. Benzoyl peroxide does nothing for me - nothing for the clogs, nothing for the cysts.
I'd read about this stuff in a magazine once, but somehow forgot about it. Now, with my skin worse than ever, overproducing oil after a long dry Chicago winter, and too much dairy that made me break out in five major cysts, I decided to go for a clay mask. I looked at GlamGlow, but decided I'd rather spend 70 bucks on a good serum versus a generic mud mask - and then I remembered this stuff.
I used it for the first time last night, and wasn't overwhelmed It was easy to use (1 to 1 with apple cider vinegar), the pulsating was kind of hilarious (though I couldn't laugh; the mask had stretched my skin SO tight, as if it had been botoxed all over!)... I wiped it off with a warm washcloth, and was more pleased than shocked at the results. My skin looked fresher, it (surprisingly) didn't dry me out, and some small plugs came out easier than normal, but otherwise there were still filaments, a few PMS cysts trying to come out. So I slapped a mini-mask on the cystic spots as a spot-treatment in those areas and left it on for about three more hours.
When I washed that off - I was stunned. The cystic lumps had disappeared. Completely. My skin was a little red, but I went to bed super happy and optimistic, hoping the effect would stick. When I woke up this morning - Oh. My. God.
I was looking at the best skin of my life. No clogs had reappeared. The cystic red spots were gone without a trace. Everything glowed, and my face actually felt lighter, and more supple, where it usually feels weighed down and tired - probably from the excess oil. This is something I plan to use every other day as maintenance, versus a weekly special treatment, since it seems to have absorbed all excess oil from deep inside my skin and actually PREVENTED congestion.
It's so cheap, and there's so much of it, I can't imagine anyone not trying it out. It actually is the miracle for my congestion I've always wanted. HG.

I bought this when I was starting out on my natural beauty regime, although now I've abandoned almost all except for this. (That is another long story) I use this about twice a week on my problematic spots, and it works in drying out acne. I use it together with neem oil, which is also excellent for acne and oily skin, and I've noticed that my skin has become more manageable and scars heal a lot faster. I leave it on until it dries, usually from between 15-30mins, and then wash it off with a wet warm washcloth. The huge tub lasts a long time, so its definitely value for money as well!
Amazing. I have extremely oily skin and have suffered from the throes of acne for nearly eleven years. This clay I try to use every night mixing it with water. I attempted the mixture with apple cider vinegar but for some reason it really irritates my skin. Water works just fine for my pale sensitive skin. I do not moisturize afterwards since I am an oil slick but honestly I believe moisturization is very important for those with less oily skin. Coconut oil is great.

Bought this back in January, used it with water and didn't like it so I kind of ignored it. Then about two weeks ago I went on a vacation and used spray on sunscreen on my face. Bad bad bad. I had never had a break out as bad as this. My forehead, my cheeks and my my upper lip were covered in cycts. Not pimples but cycts. Three days later I came home and researched this mask only to find out that you're supposed to use it with avc. So I did and after one use, the next morning the cysts had shrunk. Did the mask two more times and my face is clear.

I can't really expand on what others have said here. All I can say is, try it. With biweekly use it has decreased my breakouts and has made my skin brighter and smoother. You can add whatever you'd like and it's completely natural, too.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this clay mask, and I love love love that it's not pre mixed, because I can add what I want to it.
I usually start by washing my face with Lush's Dark Angels scrub (which is my holy grail product, honestly) Then I mix up some ACV and then the clay powder. I don't measure, just mix everything up until it's a creamy, smooth consistency. I'll leave it on my face for 15-20 minutes.
DON'T FALL ASLEEP WITH THIS ON YOUR FACE. Oh God, don't do it.
I made that mistake. I got home after a 12 hour shift (I'm in the military) and slathered this on my face and went to "lie down for 20 minutes" Yeah right. I put the mask on at 9pm and woke up at 1am. It was so damn tight. I wanted to cry, it hurt so bad. The warm water hardly loosened up the clay - I had red, patchy spots on my face all night. I rubbed aloe on my face that night and woke up for work a few hours later, and they were gone.
Despite my foolishness, this is an awesome product.

Paul Giamatti stars as a struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach who takes in his client's troubled grandson
On Film4: 2 Dec 1:45AM
Woody Allen re-dubs an existing Japanese spy movie, transforming it from an action adventure into a comical hunt for a prized egg salad recipe
By 1966 Woody Allen was a sublime if reluctant stand-up comic with a great reputation following TV scripts for Sid Caeser and 'Candid Camera', plus 1965's cinema hit What's New, Pussycat?. So, when you've shelled out for a ropey, Japanese Bond knock-off and feel that it might just make money with an ironic new soundtrack, who you gonna call?
Usually credited as Allen's directorial debut What's Up, Tiger Lily? feels more like a running gag from a sketch show anthology which has somehow wound up with a theatrical release. The concept may be clever but it wears thin very quickly and the material frequently just isn't that funny.
As it is, the original Japanese film, Key Of Keys looks like it wasn't taking itself terribly seriously in the first place. Allen's dialogue seems keen to provoke absurd 'Goon Show'-style laughs rather than straight spy spoofing, which by this stage was being done quite proficiently by 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' Our Man Flint and the Bond franchise itself.
Tiger Lily's vague plot has agent Phil Moscowitz (Mihashi) summoned by the High Macha of Rashpur ("a nonexistent but real-sounding country") to recover a recipe for egg salad in order for Rashpur to gain official existence "somewhere between Spain and Greece - it's really much warmer there". The recipe is also coveted by head villain Shepard Wong (Nakamaru), though of course this is all an excuse for chases, punch-ups and a parade of femme fatales.
Allen himself appears at the film's opening to explain what we're about to see. It's possible this was necessary back in 1966 but now it's like having a joke's premise and punch-line delivered up-front, removing any of the surprise required to make the bloody thing actually funny.
Things get desperate in the second half with footage run back and forth for cheap laughs and silhouetted hands trying to remove a hair stuck in the projector. This second gag in particular might have been fine for a few seconds but goes on for a couple of minutes.
Some of the actual voice artists do a great job of at least sounding funny but tellingly the biggest - and quite unintentional - laugh is probably the titles featuring a tiny cartoon Allen in the cleavage of a gorgeous young Asian girl. It's a wonder Mia Farrow didn't bring that one out in court.
A curio for major Allen fans. In an ideal world it would probably work best as an DVD extra on Take The Money And Run.

- 1 cup rose petals
- 1/4 cup rose water flavoring or 1 tsp rose extract
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tblsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Pick tender rose petals until you have a well-packed cup. Cut into fine pieces and wash in a colander or large strainer. Place petals, rose water flavoring, and 3/4 cup water in a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes or until petals are soft. Strain petals and measure 1/2 cup of remaining liquid (add water if you have less). Return liquid to saucepan. Add sugar and honey and bring to rapid boil. Return petals to sauce pan and reduce heat. Simmer very slowly for 20 minutes, stirring constantly, then add lemon juice and cook for 5 minutes more. Pour into heated jars and seal with paraffin. Once we accidently overcooked this recipe and made a delicious discovery. The mixture had become too stiff to make jelly, so we dropped it by spoonfulls on a greased cookie sheet and enjoyed rose petal candy instead! Yield: 2 small glasses.

America Ferrera and Ryan Piers Williams are Engagedby Mischalova at . Comments
Move over Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky.
You've got some engaging company.
The very pretty star of Ugly Betty, America Ferrera, just announced that long-time boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams asked her to marry him.
And this would be a pretty lame post if she didn't say "yes."
The couple will now hope to stay together longer than previous pairings such as Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.
Or Kim Kardashian and clothing.
We wish America and Ryan nothing but the best!
America Ferrera is the ugliest person ive ever seen. She should go back to the hole she came from and as a matter of fact all mexicans should go back to their homeland. All mexicans steal and commit crimes. We should deport them all back to south american. American should claim mexico as part of its own. i still rue the day that we didnet conquer burrito land. Freakin burritos!! Mexicans learn how speak english please!!….
Oh, yeah, by the way, I don't think they're actually engaged. America's website says she is not engaged, and has no plans to be engaged at this time. Just wanted to let you know. I AM still happy for them, because they have been able to keep a healthy, longterm relationship, which is an achievement.
Well America good on you. Of course i have no idea of ur husband to be but i am sure he is a lovely man
anyway who is this guy i didnt know he even existed
who is Ryan Piers Williams?

Windows Server 2012 Essentials, which will ultimately replace the existing Small Business Server (SBS) and Home Server products, has reached the Release Candidate milestone! Essentials provides a simple to install and configure version of Windows Server 2012 intended for Small Business environments with up to 25-users and 50-devices. Essentials features a simplified server admin dashboard, fashioned after the new Windows Server 2012 Server Manager tool, and built-in support for integrating your on-premises network with Office 365 mail and collaboration cloud services.
Upgrading from Essentials ...
In addition, as your usage needs increase, Essentials can be in-place upgraded to a full copy of Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition (SE) with a single command line tool. The resulting upgraded server can support up to 75-users and 75-devices. If you need to grow beyond 75-users down the road, you can turn off the "Essentials features" and manage the server just as you would do for a freshly installed Windows Server 2012 SE server. I love this capability - it goes a long way to address the biggest upgrade / migration "pain points" I've seen in the past with SBS installations.
Details about the new RC features ...
More details about the new features now available in the Release Candidate are listed at the following link location:
In particular, I like the Verified DHCP Support to easily enable DHCP on an Essentials server, along with the improved SSL certificate capabilities in the revised Domain Wizard.
Leverage Virtualization to Provide Flexibility ...
Virtualization rights for Essentials remain the same as the Small Business Server product: Essentials can be virtualized as a guest on a full Windows Server host using the Hyper-V role or on the free Hyper-V Server host product, but Essentials cannot itself host virtual machines. I'm seeing a lot of interest from IT Pros who are planning to package Hyper-V Server, Windows Server Essentials, and Exchange into a "bundle" as a single physical host server with two child VMs (ie., one VM running Essentials and the other VM running Exchange) - for environments that prefer to stick with an on-premises mail option due to business requirements in some industries.
Download the RC for testing in your lab ...
The product team currently plans to release the RTM version of Windows Server 2012 Essentials towards the end of 2012. In the meantime, you can download the latest Release Candidate of Windows Server 2012 Essentials here for testing in your lab.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation.

How To Deal With A Stall In Negotiations
Posted on Have Your Say: Leave a comment?
When you get to a point in the conversation with a customer where you have to negotiate on price or some other issue, remember one thing: the vast majority of negotiations occur because you haven't identified the value of doing business with you earlier in the conversation.
I have found that if you uncover the needs, wants, desires ad motivations of customers early on, the whole aspect of having to negotiate starts to change. Because you are aware of how the customer will value your offering before you present ideas, you know exactly where you may need to give more than take. Negotiations most often occur when the customer has not had all their needs dealt with, or the value of your offering has not been built up enough before presenting solutions.
Having said that, it may well be that you get into a negotiating scenario that requires you to give and take. How do you know exactly what will be important or valuable to the customer?
Well, it may be that the two most powerful words in any negotiation are "What if?". Using this question works because it allows the other person to consider possible solutions without committing to them. This way you can avoid making an offer before they have signalled a willingness to accept it.
To put this technique into action, suggest a possible solution by saying, "What if our solution involved distributing to other warehouses? Is that something that might work for you?" Then listen closely to the response, and change the suggestion if necessary, remembering to phrase it as a hypothetical ("What if?") and not a formal offer.
Don't commit to a solution before confirming that it works for the other person. Ask, "What if?" to test ideas before making formal offers.
A good way to prepare for this stage might be to ask yourself what combinations of options would make an attractive solution to both you and the other person. Should you present options independently or package them as one solution? Also, ask yourself whether you, personally, are willing to accept the solutions you're suggesting.
It's important to position this technique in the customer's mind before you try it out.
Saying something like, "We're probably not ready to commit to an actual solution yet, but I have some ideas that we could discuss to see if we can get closer here. Would you like to hear them?" would allow the customer the chance to see if there were options that would be satisfactory to them.
The objective of this technique is to get the customer to see how different approaches might or could work for them, and offers opportunities for them to test out hypotheses before making decisions.

3 Great Ideas On How To Build & Establish Your Brand
Posted on Have Your Say: Leave a comment?
One of the most precious assets that a company possesses is the quality of their brand. A great brand image can drive sales onward and upward; a lesser image can ultimately destroy a brand's presence and present.
It's people that make the brand. How customers are treated or served can improve or destroy an image in the customer's mind, so it's vital that staff and employees know how to deliver the brand promise every step of the way.
What makes up the philosophy of a great brand? How can companies ensure their people drive the value of the brand higher?
Here are my ideas on how great brands get established and built:
Great Brands Share Their Customers' Values.
You need to be able to understand the perceptions of your customer's ideas. They will have values that you have to live up to. If you fall down in any way, it may have an impact on the value that your customer has on the image of your brand.
Do your customers value service, delivery standards or warranties? Is quality or availability most important to them? By ascertaining what's most important to them, you share the values that your customers hold dear.
Great Brands Emotionally Inspire Their Customers.
Brands are the emotional connections that companies have with their customers. How people feel about you will determine the impression you give at the emotional level. If people feel good or great about you, particularly in the areas that are important to them, the value of the brand will go up in their eyes.
Great Brands Provide Great Customer Experiences At Every Moment Of Truth.
Think through what makes a great experience. Isn't it a series of magical 'touch-points' that the experience is made up of? For example, Disney excels at these touches of magic. At every point, they assess how the customer can be 'wow-ed' by what they get and see. They attempt to bring the experience come to life every time at every point in every way with every customer. Making the experience come alive involves ensuring that the set-up of service is excellent in every way. Only then will the customer feel that the company actually is more interested in them than profits.
Great brands make the customer's life better in some way, either through products or services. By following the three ideas above, you create a great philosophy that, when followed, increases the desire of customers to be loyal.
Happy Selling!

6 Ways To Accurately Measure How You Differentiate From Your Competitor
Posted on Have Your Say: Leave a comment?
Today's world is merciless if you don't match your competitive offers and design quality. The business road is littered with companies who have failed in their attempts to launch or develop product or service offerings that fell short of the competitions.
How can you differential effectively against your competition? What can make you stand head and shoulders above them so your customers take notice? Here are some ideas:
1) Select the 'value area' you wish to compete with. This could be price, guarantees, warranties, quality, back up services, or other things that can be compared.
2) Choose the areas where you help customers to succeed. This could be in cost savings, time savings, improvement in performance or productivity, or areas that are really important for your customers to improve.
3) On a scale of one to ten, score your 'value areas' in terms of how beneficial they are to your customers. No doubt there will be competitors who are cheaper than you in many areas, so build up a quantifiable base line that helps you to measure how you perform in those areas that will outweigh the lower prices of the competition.
4) On the same scaling (1-10), detail your competition's value propositions so you can compare yours versus theirs. This requires you to know a lot of detail about your competition and this needs time and adequate research to ascertain the areas your competition will be highlighting with your prospect base.
5) Now determine how your 'value-creators' compare to the competition's offerings. Add a weighting, if necessary, to the areas that are most important to the customer base. For example, if the need for quality is far more important than getting a low price, then determine how your quality compares with the competition in the specific areas that will impress the customers and their business needs.
6) After these comparisons, analyse how you have performed against the main competitors in those specific areas where the choices will be made. Design questions that help you see how you differentiate against your competitors with your value proposition.
Remember, this will only work if the factors you compare with are aligned against the main objectives and goals against which your customer base measures success. Simply saying you should reduce prices to match competitors when the main criteria your customers are judging your products against is quality or warranties, is simply missing the whole point of differentials.
You should ideally identify what is the most important pains or gains that your company assists your client base to overcome or build on. That way, you're talking your customers' language and stand a better chance of beating the competition.

20 Reasons Your Customer Will Say Yes – Part Two
Posted on Have Your Say: Leave a comment?
In the first part of this article, we discussed ten reasons why it would be beneficial for your prospect to agree to choose your solution. All prospects and customers have to rationally and emotionally be connected at some level with the solution, or they may well have buyer's remorse or incongruence about their choice. So it is vital we ascertain the real reasons why people would change their mindset to choose us rather than the competition, or do nothing at all.
In this article, we cover how we need to explicitly detail how our product or service produce outcomes that your prospect expects, desires or would be surprised by. Remember to only focus on those areas where your services will make a real difference to the prospect's business or lifestyle.
The first ten reasons concentrated on taking away the pain from their business. These final ten concentrate on the gains customers would get with your solution:
11) You create something that the customer wouldn't have without you. These could be product benefits they can't get elsewhere, time savings you provide, investments that would outweigh other choices, and the like.
12) You exceed the expectations of the prospect. Everyone has expectations as to the level of service or quality of product they demand. By going beyond those expectations, even by a small amount, you give the prospect reasons to choose you.
13) You outperform their current method of working. Your product could be better than, produce more, be more efficient or save more money than their current products, so you offer tangible benefits to them and their business.
14) You make your prospect's life easier. Something you provide helps the prospect to get on with their lives easier, with less stress or fuss and lets them do their job instead of worrying about things that shouldn't concern them.
15) You create positive emotional results for them. If you make your prospect look good in other people's eyes, you hit one of the basic reasons why humans make decisions…to increase their self-esteem.
16) You give them something better in terms of quality, design, warranties, features or benefits. This means they can rationally choose you because, simply put, what you have is better than other choices.
17) You give them something the competition can't. Your differentials prove to be so good that you knock the competition sideways. As long as these can be tangibly measured or intangibly described (rational or emotional) then the prospect can see the reasons why you beat your competitors.
18) You fulfill a desire the prospect has wanted for a period of time. When someone has had to wait for a solution, sometimes for a long period, and then the answer comes along, the relief this provides can be a compelling reason to say yes.
19) You help the customer succeed where they had failed before. This supports many of the other reasons and makes you and your company a precious asset in the eyes of the prospect.
20) You make doing business with you now, and in the future, easy. If prospects can identify the overall benefits of your services through identifying future results and creating great support mechanisms for their future performance, they have confidence that their present choice will provide them with great business opportunities. Make doing business with you easy, and people will be happy they made the choice.
These reasons should provide a good basis for the tools you need to encourage prospects and customers to choose your solutions and stay loyal to that choice. By being supportive of their business decisions and ensuring you have the support power to back up your services, you can align your business goals with the objectives your customers have and hence make them feel confident they have made the right decision in choosing you.

20 Reasons Your Customer Will Say Yes – Part One
Posted on Have Your Say: Leave a comment?
When I worked in sales a few years ago, we were always told to 'walk in the customer's shoes' so that you could experience exactly what they were going through when they were conducting their businesses.
My team was successful in many ways, and I often asked what specifically made them successful, achieving their goals and targets on a regular basis.
The answer was that they knew how to make the customer say 'yes' on a regular basis, and I always asked them what exactly they focused on when they were bidding for the sale. I made notes so that if I wanted to repeat those successes, I could remember what they were.
Naturally, there are many reasons why a buyer would say 'yes' to your offers and it will vary according to the industry and products/services you sell, but there will be some similar rationale to what I've listed below, and I hope they help you in your preparation and planning for your next calls.
So, here's a list of 20 reasons why your prospect will make a positive decision toward you:
1. You save them time, money or effort. Most people will thank you for saving them specific things that mean a lot to their business. Savings will many times be the catalyst for decision makers to make positive moves towards choosing your solution.
2. You offer lower or no upfront investment costs or other obstacles to accepting your offer. The lower their initial investment, the better some people see the value.
3. You eliminate mistakes customers make. It may be that the way they are doing business isn't actually the best way. Maybe you can help them achieve better results.
4. You help them have peace of mind. If you can help them sleep easier or not be so stressed with their current position, they would appreciate that
5. You eliminate risks that make your customer fearful. Those risks could involve safety, internal politics, or a whole wealth of different areas that your services solve.
6. You build trust in your services that take away pain or loss. As long as you can prove they would be better off with you than without you, they will feel better in choosing you.
7. You stop challenges your customer faces. Those challenges can be caused by a great many things, but if you can work out how they can be overcome or dealt with, you have a good chance
8. You help them fix underperforming parts of the business. If your solution helps them identify problems with the current situation, and is able to fix it, they will be grateful you came along.
9. You take a specific headache away. There's always a number of things that cause problems for customers that make them concerned about current performance. If you can deal with them, then they are likely to choose your solution.
10. You concentrate on a pain that no-one else can deal with as well as you. You don't have to be unique in your offering; just better than everyone else. If you can do that, you make the choice easy.
Watch out for the next ten reasons why prospects should choose you in Part 2 later this week.
Happy Selling!

I'm interested in making this as a winter coat, what sort of lining would you recommend to "winterize" this jacket? Three suggestions would be great, as would something with a little stretch/give in it!
May 25, 2014, 05.44 PMby Cusaturi
For my very cold city winters, the wool winter coat still needs winterizing. On my last coat I have used sport fleece to insulate. It is stretchy and warm. I didn't use any for the sleeve, only for back and front. To minimize the bulk at stitches, I have cut the insulation 1cm smaller than the pattern and had sown it to the fabric at the edges and 2 more vertical rows in the back.
