Many exciting events have been taking place over the past few weeks and “Manning coming to the Miami Dolphins” has been top on the list.

We’ll have to see how that plays out.

Still, as the philanthropic season marks its end, new experiences will commence.

This month indicates the beginning of springtime. The rains will fall and everything will begin to bloom. It seems nature knows exactly what she is doing when it comes to life, even though we sometimes try to divert what is about to happen with our own plans.

Things change, time moves and hurt passes, but the one thing which remains constant is life will go on.

Elton John put it to words and song, saying, “In the circle of life it’s the wheel of fortune, it’s the leap of faith, it’s the band of hope, till we find our place on the path unwinding in the circle, the circle of life.”

As in years past, many communities will be holding ceremonies and Relay’s for Life.

This American Cancer Society fundraising effort brings together survivors, patients and memories of fights well fought. Like many, I know or knew family and friends with this terrible disease, so I participate, contributing my time and resources to the successful efforts of the organizers. But this year takes on a whole new meaning. Recently my mother underwent a procedure to remove a lump and more was uncovered. Now, we are discussing the options about future protocols.

She is in relatively good health and high spirits. The qualities

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

resonating from her are of optimism and gratitude. In her mid-seventies, and a widow for more than ten years, she has a calm reassurance about her knowing we all will face our time.

Mom always taught me that life will bring you opportunities and obstacles. I’ve come to understand that it’s not what you face which reveals ones true self, but how you face it. You have to make each day count and leave behind a better place for future generations. So, I encourage you to participate in some way in making our city a better place, in your own way, and thus completing the circle.

Many of us will also celebrate our respective High Holidays – Easter and Passover. These holidays

commemorate a rebirth of spiritual proportion. I wish all my family and friends the happiest of holidays.

So, as you move into the month ahead and as you try to find your way on the path, I urge you to make each day count and to follow the words of Ghandi, “Be the Change You Want to See in the World!”

As Always, Enjoy the Lifestyle ™ Jim Norton President & Publisher Lifestyle, Publications

WHAT’S HOT, WHAT’S NOT IN FOOD

But while the venerable brand has never gone out of style, it seems that it has extra special buzz in 2012. Why? Maybe, because Henri Bendel specializes in fashionable accessories, cosmetics, jewelry, footwear, fragrances and more attracting a rabid following of female sophisticates.

If you can’t visit the flagship store in Manhattan (a landmark), visit www.henribendel.com to find a location near you.

So why is Henri Bendel hot?

Maybe it’s the signature black and white colors of its handbags and beauty cases, or maybe it’s because trendsetters like Rachel Bilson and Abigail Breslin have been spotted wearing Henri Bendel around Hollywood.

FASHION

Check out Henri Bendel’s Fresh and Flirty spring collection of handbags called the No. 7 Citrus Collection and the brand new “Henri Rocks Chandelier Earrings.” You’ll be sure to turn heads.

c CIVIL WARS

You don’t have to love country or folk music to love The Civil Wars.

You just have to love good music.

Take it from us, The Civil Wars are about to break. The group, fresh off winning two Grammy’s, is composed of singer-songwriters Joy Williams and John Paul White.

They’ve already appeared on

MUSIC

Since the 1890s, stylish women the world over have been seen wearing Henri Bendel accessories.

FOOD

HENRI BENDEL

Foodies are predicting the rise of gluten free fare and retro foods and the fall of cupcakes and popup restaurants.

While we are not ready to write off the cupcake, we do think the gluten free movement has legs.

An estimated 10 percent of the population has some sort of gluten sensitivity—giving restaurants a chance to cash in by serving this growing niche.

As for retro fare, start looking for the tried and true to reappear on your menus: meatloaf, fried chicken, hot dogs and fruit pies are making their way from the diner to a wider variety of restaurants. Maybe it’s the times, maybe it’s the nostalgia—but there’s something to be said for bringing back meatloaf.

This food just makes you smile.

Another trend worth watching is the growth of “communal restaurant tables.” Whether you’re a party of six or a table for one, it doesn’t matter.

When upscale restaurants offer communal tables there is room for everyone. Shy diners may have to adjust to sharing a meal next to strangers, but social folks will appreciate the opportunity to meet new people over a memorable meal. Watch for this European trend to grow in the United States in 2012 and beyond.

Letterman and Leno, recorded with Taylor Swift and been christened the “next big thing” by the `in the know’ critics, including your friends at Lifestyle Publications.

Check out their album Barton Hollow and remember your friends at Lifestyle Publications told you first.

MAROONE VILLAGEHOMESTEAD SPEEDWAY 800 FIGHTMS

26th Annual Zimmerman MS Bike Ride ON APRIL 21 AND 22, 2012, AN ESTIMATED 2,500 CYCLISTS WILL MAKE THE TWO-DAY, 150-MILE JOURNEY FROM THE MAROONE START/FINISH VILLAGE AT HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY TO THE VILLAGE AT JOHN PENNEKAMP STATE PARK IN KEY LARGO AND BACK. The MS Bike Ride is Florida’s premier and most exciting charity cycling event, raising money to support research, programs and services to 6,000 South Floridians affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). Last year’s ride raised nearly $1.8 million through corporate sponsorships and fundraising efforts of the cyclists, volunteers and donors.

“The Zimmerman MS Bike Ride Presented by Mack Cycle and Fitness is an event to remember with festivities and entertainment which attract thousands of cycling enthusiasts,” said Karen Dresbach, National MS Society, South Florida Chapter President. “It is truly inspiring to see each rider become motivated to cycle hundreds of miles to support the cause.”

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. It interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be

Once all riders arrive at the park, they will celebrate in a festivallike atmosphere with food, fun and entertainment. Riders can either camp for free at the park or make hotel accommodations. After a good night’s sleep and hearty breakfast, the riders will return to the Speedway

on April 22nd for the finale where dedicated volunteers will cheer them across the finish line and present medals. Rest stops will be available every 4 – 9 miles with food, drinks, first aid, bike repair, fun themes and more.

This year, Emmy Award-nominated host Phil Keoghan will be riding with the Mack Cycle and Fitness team.

Keoghan is the producer and host of the popular reality competition show The Amazing Race.

Children and families are also invited to participate in a Kids and Family Ride on April 21st at 9:00 AM. There is a $15 fundraising minimum for kids 12 and under plus free registration, $50 minimum for teens ages 13 – 17, $150 minimum for adults 18 and older all with a $20 registration fee.

This A-list soiree is the single most prestigious event in Broward County that recognizes leaders and organizations for excellence in the non-profit sector.

“The BankAtlantic Non-Profit Academy Awards presented by 2-1-1 Broward and hosted by Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is unique.

It celebrates and honors the achievements and inspiring work of Broward’s outstanding nonprofit leaders and agencies,” said Jarett Levan, President & CEO, BankAtlantic.

2-1-1 Broward, the only agency in the county that provides 24/7 comprehensive helpline services to any Broward resident seeking emotional support, crisis/suicide intervention, information, needs assessment and referrals to health and human services agencies, brought the star-studded 2nd Annual BankAtlantic Non-Profit Academy Awards to a sell-out crowd of more than 625 guests.

“The Non-Profit Academy Awards was created to bring the non-profits to the forefront and offer a day that is just for them and gives them the opportunity to shine,” said Gregory Haile, 2-1-1 Broward board chair and VP of Government and Regulatory Affairs at Broward College.

The Non-Profit Academy Award frenzy kicked off on January 24th when the three nominees in each of the seven categories were announced at the chic VIP Announcement Party, presented by Broward Health at the extravagant estate of Steve Savor and catered by Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.

The competition was fierce with 97 outstanding non-profit leaders and organizations in the field, but this year’s judges spent countless hours selecting the top contenders.

The main event, with all the famous images of the real Academy Awards – golden statues, red carpets, paparazzi and headliner entertainment, was held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. “The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is a proud supporter of 2-1-1 Broward and appreciates the concept of this spectacular event – to honor the work of so many non-profits,” said event co-chair, Susan Renneisen, Director of Special Events, Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. Susan’s

co-chairs were Jen Klaassens, Wasie Foundation and Marcia Barry-Smith, BankAtlantic.

The Red Carpet Reception sponsored

by Memorial Healthcare Systems, set the tone for the event with explosions of conversation, pure excitement and live gold statues. The reception had all the makings of a Hollywood gala, including champagne compliments of Premier Beverages, offered to guests by a golden goddess sponsored by BB&T. Paparazzi was out in full force catching guests posing at the Red Carpet Media Runway sponsored by Consolidated Credit Counseling.

Guests were then treated to a surprise performance by Cirque Dreams, POP GOES THE ROCK, the event’s Headline Entertainment Sponsor. WSVN’s Deco Drive Co-Host and event emcee Lynn Martinez delivered a witty monologue.

Lynn’s Cleopatra-style entrance was befitting of the fun-loving Deco Drive Diva.

The anticipation soared as representatives of McGladrey, the official accounting firm of this year’s Awards, delivered the sealed envelopes

“I’M VERY PROUD – THIS IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO TELL OUR STORY,” SAID ELLY DUPRE, EXECUTIVE OF LIGHTHOUSE OF BROWARD, WINNER IN ADVOCACY CATEGORY. bearing the names of the winners under the watchful guard of Broward Sheriff Al Lamberti.

All other nominees were awarded $500 each.

“I really feel like a celebrity,” said Forever Family founder Gia TutolaMote, nominated in the Advocacy category.”We see such sad stories everyday. To be able to come together and be recognized as a part of this family and vibe is very appreciated.”

Over 10,000 votes from the public were cast via text or online. And the Community Choice Award goes to…..Children’s Diagnostic and Treatment Center.

Weston’s Tenth Relay For Life: AN AMAZING DECADE

BY ART SBARSKY

This is one of those times when numbers really help tell the story.

IT STARTED WITH ONE Relay For Life, the American Cancer Society’s community-based events began with one man in May 1985. Dr. Gordy Klatt spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. He ran for more than 83 miles.

Nearly 300 of his friends, family and patients watched as he ran and walked the track. Many of them donated $25 to run or walk with Dr. Klatt for 30 minutes. He raised the amazing total of $27,000 to help fight cancer.

It was this vision and that night that launched the City of Destiny 24-Hour Run Against Cancer. Over the years it has morphed into what we now call Relay For Life but the original premise and intent of what Dr. Klatt started are embodied in each and every one of the over 5,200 Relays held every year. Fundraising is important as it puts together funds to help fight cancer, investigate new medicines and treatments, and provides a stunning range

32

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

of free services for cancer patients and their loved ones.

And it absolutely celebrates the success survivors have had in fighting this disease that affects so many people in so many ways.

TENTH ANNUAL RELAY IN WESTON On April 14/15, the tenth annual Relay For Life of Weston is going to be held at Cypress Bay High School.

The event will start at 6pm on Saturday evening and go through the night, ending about 10am on Sunday morning.

An abiding tenet is “Relay is overnight because cancer never sleeps.” Approximately seventy teams comprised of family, friends, students, teachers, co-workers, local celebrities and more, will Relay. Hundreds of people will walk the track after the opening ceremonies, kicking it off with the survivor, caregiver and team laps. Then, all through the night, the goal is to have members of each team walking the quarter-mile oval track. There will be activities and festivities taking place at the campsites, on the stage and in the infield, including silent auctions, demonstrations, and singing and dancing groups.

At 9pm, the always emotionally stirring Luminaria ceremony begins with the mournful sounds of bagpipers and drums playing Amazing Grace while walking the track followed by quietly“IT’S DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO walking Relayers. White WORDS WHEN I LOOK BACK bags, lit from the inside ON MY THREE YEARS AS EVENT with candles, and honoring CHAIR. I HAVE SO MANY people who have been WONDERFUL MEMORIES. I’VE touched by cancer and MET AND BEFRIENDED SO remembering loved ones MANY AMAZING PEOPLE. I lost, line the track and are THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT the only lights.

All proceeds raised by the teams go to the Weston Relay fundraising total.

For the last two years, Weston has been the number one fundraising Relay in Broward County and in 2011 was number seven for the entire state of Florida out of

ROSS SABBATH

356 Relays -- an amazing accomplishment to say the least.

Weston Relay’s fundraising goal this year is $220,000.

Ross Sabath, who has been the Event Chair here in Weston for the last three years reflects, “It’s difficult to put into words when I look back on my three years as Event Chair. I have so many wonderful memories. I’ve met and befriended so many amazing people. I think the most important thing that I’ll take away is knowing that I made a major impact in the fight against cancer. I’m proud of what we’ve done here in Weston. I look forward to the day when nobody is told ‘you have cancer’ and we can reminisce about back in the day when we helped to make that happen.” Ross is a cancer survivor himself having been diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2003 when he was 30 years old. This 14-year Weston resident underwent treatment, including chemotherapy, right here at Cleveland Clinic. He’s now cancer-free and has done nothing short of a sensational “job” as voluntary Event Chair.

Ross has headed up a committee each year made up of 100% volunteers who dedicate their time and energies to the Weston Relay. Each one has a personal reason for getting involved. Not surprisingly, many do it because they have lost a close person to cancer or have people in their lives that beat this disease. But every one of them, as well at those who donate to Relay For Life and/or participate in a local Relay, has one goal: to one day have a huge celebration when we can say that cancer is done.

Gone. Obsolete. Finshed. Realistic? We all hope so.

BILLY BECK GOES FOR 50!

Participating in Weston for the first time this year is 35 year old Billy Beck III, who is founder and CEO of the well-known BB3 Training Center (www.bb3trainingcenter. com). And Billy is not just going to Relay: his plan is to run 50 miles during it. That’s 200 times around the track!

Cancer has impacted Billy’s life as it has so many of us. He reflects, “Most recently my grandmother passed away from cancer.

She was diagnosed at age 82 with final stage breast cancer. Her passing and seeing her suffer slowly was challenging for my entire family. While she was at peace the rest of my family including my mother and my aunts were devastated to see their mother slowly deteriorate.”

This led Billy to get involved this year in the Weston Relay: “My goal in life and the mission of BB3 Personal Training Center has always been to be positively impact the world. This past December I was thinking, ‘what can I do in 2012 to help a lot of other people and become a better person in the process?’ The answer came to me in a flash.

I just finished a short run on the beach and my sister called telling me how our mom was struggling dealing with my grandmother’s passing. Her own health had deteriorated drastically and had suffered multiple strokes and a heart attack. The most disturbing part was her lack of desire to change her ways.

So I decided to take part in the Relay but not just take part in the relay but put myself to the test and hopefully inspire others to action including my mother. I have never run anything close to 50 miles and most people think I am insane. But I would much rather live a life of fearlessness (and slight insanity) than to die with regret.”

Billy’s run will also have a huge impact on fundraising. One of his long-time clients, Adam Meyer of Real Money Sports, is going to donate $20,000 when Billy completes the 50 miles. According to Billy, “Adam is extremely generous and always helps others out. He has known many people in his life who have suffered from cancer so it is close to his heart.“ How’s that for great incentive for Billy to keep on running until he gets to 50 miles.

Mr. Lang, I don’t normally write letters to companies about their products but I feel compelled to share my experience with the Mitsubishi Split-Type Air Conditioner that you installed for me about 6 months ago.

I love it! The Mitsubishi Mr. Slim is the perfect unit for my bedroom; I can super-cool the room in minutes with incredibly flexible airflow direction and fan speed. Also, I can make adjustments from my bedside with the handy remote any time of night or day. Did I mention how quiet the system is? It’s truly impressive!

Now the real reason for writing: my allergies have almost disappeared! After living in Florida for 40 years, I was resigned to the fact that my breathing would never be free and clear with all the molds and fungi our climate produces. Well, about a month ago, I realized I could breathe effortlessly through my nose. How can this be?

Then it dawned on me, it’s the anti-allergy enzyme filter that I read about in the manual.

NANCY WERTER-WINN A CHAMPION FOR CANCER RESEARCH

THERE’S A CERTAIN KIND OF SPIRITED WOMAN WHO CAN ENTER A ROOM AND CHANGE THE DYNAMICS. A BORN LEADER WHO CHAMPIONS THE MISSION SHE MOST BELIEVES IN WITH A NO-NONSENSE ATTITUDE, AN UNWAVERING DISCIPLINE AND A SPARKLE THAT WHEN OTHERS EXPERIENCE IT…IS MAGNETIC.

40

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

Nancy Werter-Winn exemplifies the kind of sparkle that changes a room. 13 years ago she was charged with beginning and driving the fundraising for The Pap Corps Cancer Research Valencia Lakes Chapter in her community. She became president of the chapter two years later. In 2005, she was elected to the Pap Executive Board as vice president of Pap Friends of Sylvester. She currently serves as Co-VP New Chapter Advisory which is instrumental in helping other chapters begin. She also serves as chairperson of Pap Friends and Founders which raises donations from $10,000 and above.

Nancy’s 25 years at The Miami Herald gained her an enviable reputation as a take charge business woman. Her dynamic personality has been an integral part of helping The Pap Corps volunteers raise funds over the years. Her creative nature has assisted chapters in raising additional funds.

With no executive salaries, she and the other 21,000 men and women volunteers have donated more than $29 million for cancer research in the last 10 years.

These funds support research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, South Florida’s only university-based cancer center – breakthrough research dedicated to finding cures for all types of cancers that affect men, women and children. There are more than 50 chapters located in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami Dade counties all working for the same vision – To Imagine – and help create – a World without Cancer.

“One of the most difficult things about learning you have cancer is feeling good about the next steps you take. Who do I call? Where do I go for treatment? It’s so personal.

You need a positive attitude and it’s a scary time. One of the most unique benefits of being a Pap Corps Member is The Physician Referral Program” states Nancy.

“There are patient advocates who

will try to expedite your access to UHealth physicians. These advocates will do their best to get you an appointment in a timely manner.”

The Pap Corps offers many ways for contributors to support its mission.

There’s even a high school program. West Boca High School Club of the Pap Corps was the first high school to become involved. This is the prototype that will be followed by other high schools choosing to open a Pap Corps Club. Ashley Rocque, whose grandmother Faith Book is president of Boca West Chapter, volunteered to open a Pap Chapter in her school. Ashley, along with approximately 35 students, and still growing, formed the Club. The Club is a wonderful way for teens to learn the meaning of “giving back” to the community while earning community service credits for their college resumes.

Joining The Pap Corp is not only about fundraising for the mission.

Members develop long lasting friendships; they are able to bring their own skills and be part of something that they create in their own communities.

“This year is the 60th birthday of The Pap Corps. We have so many things to celebrate while we still strive to accomplish more” says Nancy Werter-Winn. “We are

looking for volunteers of all ages to join us. You can be as involved as you’d like depending upon your own schedule. There are no minimum or maximum requirements. The Pap Corps is just a call away when you’re ready!”

“When you hear the words…

PINE CREST SCHOOL PRESIDENT DR. DANA MARKHAM A RICH BLEND OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION Pine Crest School’s fifth President Dr. Dana Markham brings a dynamic blend of tradition and innovation to one of South Florida’s oldest independent private schools.

While some school leaders must navigate a steep learning curve to interpret a school’s culture and climate, Markham took the helm doing what she has done for more than 23 years - greeting students, families and faculty with academic expertise and sincerity.

Markham, who has served years as a teacher, middle school head, and academic dean, received the medallion of office in a formal investiture ceremony at Pine Crest’s Fort Lauderdale campus in mid-March. The celebration, which took place on Pine Crest’s new state-of-theart Upper School campus, underscored her vision to prepare students to become leaders of the future, to learn collaboratively, and to create solutions when no answer is readily available.

“From an early age, our students learn how to interpret challenges that may be ahead, how to adapt to those challenges, and how to collaboratively communicate the next step,” said Markham. “Pine Crest students learn to think critically and quickly, and to draw upon ideas from different disciplines.”

Markham said children of families who invest in a Pine Crest education will receive rigorous academic instruction, as well as comprehensive athletics and fine arts programs for which the 78-year-old school always has been known. From the moment new students enter their classroom, parents realize that the value of a Pine Crest education is defined by the combination of traditional excellence and innovative approaches to learning that go “beyond the book.”

Markham’s vision is apparent in her expectations for faculty to incorporate technology education, cultural sophistication and leadership in all grades. In the fall of 2011, students as young as four and five began to use iPads during academic instruction, fifth graders have designed business expos, and Upper School students have gone beyond their AP courses to present scientific research findings to medical doctors and university professors.

Markham said she is always pleased to invite families to visit Pine Crest’s Boca Raton campus which serves grades

“PINE CREST STUDENTS LEARN TO THINK CRITICALLY AND QUICKLY, AND TO DRAW UPON IDEAS FROM DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES.”

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

pre-K – 8; and Fort Lauderdale campus, which serves grades pre-K -12, to experience first-hand the value of a Pine Crest education.

“I have watched and worked with generations of parents and their children, many starting out as exuberant fouryear-olds who leave us as confident, college-bound young adults” said Markham. “A Pine Crest education creates opportunities for our students to learn a very different skill set from those of prior generations. Every unique facet of our school community and climate encourages our students to become outstanding citizens equipped to thrive in this 21st century world.”

STRAIGHT2TOYOURDOOR.COM

A REAL DELICIOUS REVOLUTION “Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come” could be engraved on a plaque hanging in the office of Straight2yourdoor.com.

Back in 2006, two enterprising Indiana University students were downright tired of the limited number of restaurants that delivered. From those hunger pains, an idea was born.

Why not have one phone number where people could order from dozens of different restaurants?

Starting with four restaurants and just 13 customer orders in Bloomington, Indiana, the company now works with 150 restaurants around the country and last year delivered 150,000 meals.

“Straight2YourDoor has a proprietary innovative dispatching technology that separates it from other RDS companies,” said local S2YD franchisee Jason Moldoff. “The new state-of-theart call center and a new user-friendly website allow easy online ordering.”

48

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

Jason is the original founder and COO of the company.

Jason’s S2YD is located in Weston and offers food from La Brasa, Lirio’s, El Mariachi, Mitch’s Westside Bagels Too, Orient Chef, Substantial Salads and Subs, Subway, Weston Diner, Acquolina Ristorante Italiano and J.G. McGuiness Irish Pub & Restaurant with new restaurants set to join this spring.

Ordering on-line is easy. Simply check out the menus of all of their restaurants, create or login to your account and click on the items you want to add to your shopping cart. You can also order from multiple restaurants for some really creative meals.

Once the order is ready, drivers are dispatched to the restaurant, the food is placed in heated delivery bags and delivered to your home, hotel or office in about 45 minutes. Modest delivery charges are around $4.00, less than a gallon of gas these days.

BY KEVIN LANE

“This is a terrific way for area restaurants to boost their business with no added out-of-pocket costs,” Jason pointed out. “With aggressive promotion and superb customer service, we are turning new customers into loyal repeat customers.”

The Straight2yourdoor.com franchise component is also growing. “The American entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well… In addition to traditional franchisees, there are unemployed and ‘under-employed’ people who have decided to start their own business. In addition to a great concept, we offer exceptional franchise training, support and on-going growth strategies,” Jason added.

As a testimony to that growth, Mr. Delivery-- the largest home delivery company in the world-- recently acquired a controlling interest in S2YD “… because of our logistical processes,” says Jason.

FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES...

ICONTROL FERRARI Owning a Ferrari is probably every guy’s dream and that dream stays with us the rest of our lives. Unfortunately, for just about 99% of us, that dream remains a dream.

So while we may never get to own a real Ferrari, that doesn’t mean we can’t own a remote controlled one.

The iControl Ferrari is a 1:50th scale replica of the exotic Ferrari Enzo supercar that the “99%” of us can afford.

The iControl Ferrari Enzo RC car doesn’t work like a traditional radio controlled car; instead of using a remote control, it relies on a “dongle” that plugs into an iPhone, iPod, or an iPad. Download the free App and when you start the car up, your phone will make an engine starting sound. The App will display a picture of a steering wheel and you steer the RC Ferrari by tilting the phone left and right, just like a real car’s steering wheel.

We’ve tried and it is very cool.

Is it the real thing? No. But, it will have to do—for now anyway.

Cost: $39.50 (taxes and tags included). . For retailers, search the web for iControl Ferrari.

4

FOR THE TENNIS PLAYER...

NIKE ZOOM VAPOR 9 TOUR Do you want to play tennis like Roger Federer?

Ok, that’s probably not feasible. Do you want to look like Roger Federer?

Ok, that’s not realistic either. But you can wear his tennis shoes. Developed in collaboration with Fed, the Vapor 9 features a finger-like system on the outside that works to mold the top of the shoe to the shape of your foot. That means comfort.

We don’t guarantee a better backhand. Cost: $130. Visit Nike.com for more information.

7 FOR THE KID THAT CAN’T GET UP...

TOCKY If you have a teenager you know the drill. It’s a fight every morning to get them up for school.

Enter “Tocky” the runaway alarm clock; which will jump off your nightstand and roll away forcing you to get out of bed and chase it down.

Tocky has a microphone so that you can record your own sounds or wake up calls. You can even program mom’s voice and save her the trouble of yelling every morning. If you’re a kinder and gentler parent you can also upload your favorite music, but you still have to get out of bed when Tocky jumps. Or you can upload your favorite songs and listen while Tocky rolls around your room.

Either way, Tocky rocks.

Cost: $69. For retailers, search the web for Tocky.

Catalonia CAPTIVATED BY

S

pain is the land of romance, history, diverse culture and amazing oddities. From bullfights to Gaudi to dancing the night away on Ibiza, travelers could easily spend a year exploring beautiful cultural Spain. Recently SitInMySeats VIP Tickets & Travel took 30 VIP clients on a private tour to see everything from lush, green forests and mountain ranges, through to endless arid plains and long, sandy beaches. Spain, absolutely amazing!

Laura Hildenbrandt, Director of Travel Sales & Marketing has traveled extensively during the past two decades but rates Catalonia at the very top of her list of places to put on your bucket list. According to Laura, “spending a few days in this amazing seaside region of Spain is only the “tip of the iceberg.”

The capital of Catalonia is Barcelona, a coastal city oozing with charm. From the moment you take the first breath of Barcelona air, you are captivated by the mystery. The very old, the very traditional, the very new, and the very eclectic collide to make the city itself a fiesta for your senses! The glistening Mediterranean Sea laps against the coast of this amazing city keeping a constant “on a tropical holiday feel” even as you’re hustling down a busy street. Barcelona embodies all of the interesting little oddities of Spain with ancient streets perfect for people watching.

If architecture is your thing, Barcelona is a gem. Antoni Gaudi lived and worked in Barcelona. Gaudi is best known for his drip like architecture. His distinctive and highly individual style can best be seen in his still

66

APRIL 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

un-completed masterpiece, Sagrada Familia, the church he was unable to finish before his death. Started in 1882, construction continues to this very day. His strange work will make you stare with wonder!

While the city is constantly being modernized, Barcelona retains its historic charm and flavor. You will fall in love with Ciutat Vella, “old city” that lies at the heart of Barcelona. You will see signs of Roman architectural structures and walls as you take a step back in time in the most popular meeting point in all of Catalonia.

As most travelers know, the best way to get to know the culture of any place is to eat your way through it. This is especially true in Barcelona, the epicenter of Catalonia.

Perhaps it’s because Catalan food is such a good reflection of the culture. The cuisine is simultaneously sophisticated and unpretentious, much like the Catalans themselves. A favorite of Laura Hildenbrandt’s was the pan con tomate, bread rubbed with tomato, garlic and olive oil. In Laura’s words, “Delicioso! No matter how hard I try I just cannot duplicate the recipe! I miss Catalonia more and more each day!”

Offering luxurious accommodations, eclectic and charming people, unbelievable cuisine, and a climate that beckons you to stay, Barcelona will delight and surprise even the most seasoned world traveler. Keep in mind, however, that it will be very, very hard to leave once you are “Captivated by Catalonia!”

For your next vacation to this or any other worldwide destination, please call Lisa or Laura at SitInMySeats VIP Tickets & Travel - 1-866-798-7328.

IF YOU WERE IN A MAJOR CITY ON FEBRUARY 23RD OF THIS YEAR, YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SEEN THE WORDS “END POLIO NOW” EMBLAZONED WITH LIGHT ON ONE OF THE CITY’S LARGEST BUILDINGS.

Rotary club members volunteer to work, donate, solicit sponsors and raise money to help improve the lives of the less fortunate in our community, our country and the world. Locally, the Rotary Club of Weston set new records at its 14th Annual Run for Tomorrow and Get Fit Festival with 1,700 runners and walkers, over 10 fitness partners and the Mayor’s Challenge was won by the Imagine Charter School.

PRIME TIME LIVE: HOW TO GET ON THE AIR AND IN THE NEWS TODD TEMPLIN Executive Vice President of Boardroom Communications 1776 N Pine Island Road Suite 320 Plantation, FL 33322 954-370-8999 ttemplin@boardroompr.com

A Fort Lauderdale plastic surgeon is featured in Glamour magazine. A South Florida trial lawyer’s case is profiled on CNN, Good Morning America and 20/20. A Boca Raton retailer is featured in a story read by thousands of area residents – and on NBC-6’s Today in South Florida and WSVN’s Deco Drive.

How did each of these people become high-profile experts in their respective fields? How did they get in the news?

It’s called public relations, and it’s a critical component of any marketing campaign. Most practitioners believe the value of the perceived objectivity of being quoted or profiled in a news article can be worth more than three times the cost of a similarly sized paid advertisement.

But while good P.R. can work wonders for a business’s bottom line, it requires strategic planning, hard work and time-tested principles…

- Consume media. Whether it’s a local paper or television station, an industry or professional trade journal, or a specialized consumer publication, Website or blog -- read the outlets your target audience is reading. Get to know what the media are covering – trends, news, products, etc. Look for the “beat” writers who cover your niche.

- Contact the journalist. Email or call the beat journalist or blogger to introduce yourself. Keep this contact brief, maybe including a short bio of yourself and your business, and a quick news tip as the “purpose” of your outreach.

But remember to begin every call with this sentence, “Are you on deadline…?” Journalists appreciate this awareness, and will know you’re ’re not a novice. nk Think local.

Create te local angless to nationall news or trend stories. How does an emerging national cle story (on vehicle recalls, a spreading flu, or the eading flu latest toy craze) impact the South Florida market? Since you’ve been reading the media and following the trends, you should know what hasn’t been covered. Relay this to your journalist contacts.

- Be a partner. Being P.R.-savvy isn’t about always getting your

name in print. It’s about being the eyes and ears on the street for the journalist. If you spot an emerging trend, send the journalist an email tip. Even if you aren’t a candidate for coverage, they’ll appreciate the lead – especially if you have a relevant business, client or other example they can use for their story.

- Write a blog. Sometimes, journalists for outlets you’ve never heard of or considered for coverage come seeking comments. Create a Website, write a blog, or submit columns to print or online media to raise your search results – and the likelihood you’ll be found online.

Effective and consistent public relations isn’t an overnight success y Great P.R. firms and corporate story. communications executives s spend entire c a r e e r s building media relationships and honing t their craft.

CONSEQUENCES OF FAD DIETS YO-YO DIETING MESSES UP YOUR METABOLISM.

DR. KENNETH WOLINER Board Certified Family Physician

9325 Glades Road, Suite 104 Boca Raton, FL 33434 561-620-7779 holisticfamilymed.com

“WHEN I HEARD you had a cancellation, I rearranged my schedule so I could come in today.” Wendy was obviously excited about seeing me.

“Thank you for fitting me in.”

“I spend over 80 minutes with each new patient, so I have to limit the number of new patients I see each week; otherwise, there wouldn’t be any time to take care of my established patients.”

“Dr. Woliner, I understand completely. I just want to get better.”

“Tell me more.”

“Ever since high school, I’ve been on one diet or another. Up until the last five years or so, I was always able to drop 20-30 pounds no problem [1].”

“But?” “But I’d always gain it back, and now, even when I starve myself, I can’t lose an ounce!”

“Yo-yo dieting messes up your metabolism. 65% of the weight lost is just water and muscle [2].

Not only do crash dieters lose their hair, get gallstones, and gain their weight back within a year, they increase their cortisol levels so much that makes it hard to ever lose weight again [3].” I continued, “So what diets have you done?”

“What haven’t I done, you mean! Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, of course. Diet clinics prescribed appetite suppressants, laxatives and diuretics [4]. I even did over a dozen of the fad diets that are touted in Women’s World Weekly.

Sprinkling Sensa on my food, hCG shots, and diet cookies you buy from the kiosk at the mall. I hate to admit it, but I’m one of the ones that fell for that Kimkins scam.”

“Heidi Diaz, a.k.a. Kimberly Drake, had a lot of people fooled with her “after pictures” which were lifted of off ‘Russian Bride’ websites [5]. The trick all these diets use is that starvation itself causes a lack of appetite [6]. ‘SNATT’ is what they call it.

Slightly Nauseous All The Time.”

“Nausea was only part of my troubles. At 37, my periods stopped early, and my GYN is convinced that all these fad diets had something to do with it.

My heart even started skipping a beat – my doc said ‘QTsomething …”

“Prolonged QT interval. That’s serious; some people have died from that [7]. Ironically, the most dangerous time is when you start eating again after prolonged dieting.”

“Dr. Woliner, I’m through with all those pill-mill diet clinics. So many of them wouldn’t let me use my drug plan, instead, they forced me to buy overpriced drugs right from their office. I’m coming here because I know how important it is to see a board-certified doctor, one that still goes to the hospital in case I need you.”

I finished my exam.

“In addition to measuring your metabolic rate, I also want to send a note to your primary care physician, to coordinate care.”

Wendy’s metabolic rate was “minus 16%”, indicative of a slow metabolism [8].

Blood tests confirmed CENTRAL HYPOTHYROIDISM (suppressed TSH) INSULIN RESISTANCE (elevated HOMA-IR), and ADRENAL FATIGUE (high cortisol) [9]. I then prescribed a comprehensive plan of behavior changes, diet modification, exercise, supplements, and even some medications [10]. Three months later, she came back to check her progress.

“Dr. Woliner, I’m no longer shedding hair in the shower, but better yet, the scale is starting to move. Just this last month, I lost another six pounds!”

ASK THE EXPERTS: MARCH IS COLON CANCER AWARENESS MONTH: ACT NOW TO PREVENT COLON CANCER

STEVEN WEXNER, MD Colorectal Surgery Department Chair

Cleveland Clinic Florida 2950 Cleveland Clinic Blvd.

Weston, Florida (954) 659-5278 http://my.clevelandclinic. org/florida

Preventing colon cancer may be easier than you think. Most cases of colon cancer can be prevented by having a screening colonoscopy.

Colon cancer is one of few diseases where normal body tissue - in this case, polyps - actually turns deadly.

Removing nonmalignant polyps during a colonoscopy procedure may prevent colon cancer from developing. Colon cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the US. It is also an equal opportunity destroyer, oblivious to gender, race or income. People at increased risk for colon cancer include those with one or more immediate relatives with the disease, an inherited tendency to form polyps, a long history of ulcerative colitis, or a history of breast or uterine cancer. However, they are in the minority. The disease occurs most often in those who least expect it.

According to Steven Wexner, MD, chief academic officer and chair of

Colorectal Surgery at Cleveland Clinic Florida, “Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard test for detecting and eliminating polyps.

Other tests are simply less effective.”

UÊ SIGMOIDOSCOPY: Only checks the lower portion of the colon.

UÊ HEMOCCULT TEST: Detects blood in the stool, but is often inaccurate, giving false negative reports to at least 50% of patients with colon cancer and false positive reports to many patients who do not have the disease. A positive barium enema requires a colonoscopy follow up.

UÊ VIRTUAL COLONOSCOPY: Might be a substitute some day, but is now unaffordable. For this reason, it is now recommended by every major gastrointestinal societyy that both men and women have a screening colonoscopy copy at age 50. Anyone at increased eased risk should be screened by age 40 - earlier in some cases. The need for future screening d tests is determined e by the findings at the first screening as well as the patient’s risk factors. ors. olon Some symptoms of colon d in cancer include blood the stool and pain the lower abdomen. More e than gnosed half of all people diagnosed with colon cancer have no symptoms at all, so it is simply not wise to wait for the appearance of symptoms. Do yourself a favor and

BRANDING FOR ALL

BY: DAVE KUSTIN

Be authentic. Say something different from your competitors.

Disrupt categories. Be clever, simple, and memorable.

Make it easy for customers to tell their friends. Get them to wear it, auction it, trade it, and collect it. Make them name a pet after it.

Travel, lie, and bleed, save, cry, and stay up all night for it. These are the feelings and behaviors that people will happily engage in if they LOVE your brand. But how, you ask, do you get a segment of the masses to be loyalists? You must have strong beliefs and you have to communicate them with the goal of finding others that share in those same beliefs. This is Marketing 101.

BUT THIS THE REALM OF BIG OTS OF MONEY BRANDS WITH LOTS YOU SAY? Hardly.

While it’s true that big brands usually have lots of money to distribute e their message, theyy must still engage in n the fundamentals.

And this is what hat always separates the good from the great reat in nearly all aspectss of life, not just branding. ding.

Take sports for instance. ance.

On the most basic level, the fundamentals entals of any particular sport must be mastered before advancing onto the e next level where you are re free to create. Think about some small businesses sses you might know and how ow they advertise, or what their message is, or how their corporate identity (logo) is presented. Then, think about some

of the top brands in the market and look at those same things. Often, they are worlds apart in terms of quality, conciseness, and effectiveness in meeting their strategy, if the small business even has one at all. It’s like Pee Wee League versus Major League. But here is the point. Big or small, all businesses can engage in and master the fundamentals.

They are linear; they build upon each other and are essential if you want to occupy a portion of hearts and minds.

THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IS HAVING A STRATEGY. Just having pretty pictures and funny words isn’t enough, having a positioning strategy is key. What segment of the market are you targeting? Is there

currently a category leader? If so, how will your message be different from theirs? What is your pricing strategy?

Do you plan on being the premium

priced brand or the cheap Charlie?

Is your product or service targeted to men or women or both? These considerations, and more, must be addressed at the outset as this strategy will be your north star in everythin that follows. everything Leonar Leonardo DaVinci said, “Simplic is the ultimate “Simplicity form of sophistication.” e This edict should be gu your guiding light when design designing corporate identit collateral, and identity, advert advertising.

Sometimes visual visually complex, overly desig designed elements are required, but the human brain is real only able to really rem remember simple vis visuals so keeping it sim simple is ideal. Your m message, which sshould be born fr from your brand’s b beliefs, will also benefit from simplicity, but above all, be mem memorable. Branding is not an overnight activity, rather, an ever-evolving activ activity that requires time, imagination and creativity. If you want people to really LOVE your brand, you have to work at it.

OF ITALIAN KITCHENS During our recent visit AND THE COUNTRY’S to SoLita, my party of four UNFORGETTABLE was quickly seated by the FLAVORS—TOMATOES, gracious host and we were PANCETTA, GARLIC AND happy to see that all of the OTHER HERBS. tables were filled. We chose to start our meal with a delightful Caymus Cabernet and a selection of appetizers for the table to share. Our waiter suggested we start with the SoLita house made meatballs with fresh tomato and basil sauce and ricotta cheese and the Shrimp SoLita, crispy shrimp tossed

with roasted peppers, extra virgin olive oil with a pesto verde drizzle.

Not knowing that would be more than enough, we also chose an order of Fried Calamari. All of the dishes were so delicious, we wanted more, but also couldn’t wait to experience what the main courses had to offer.

We weren’t sure if we still needed the Grilled Caesar Salad that we had ordered, but once we took the first taste of the fork and knife grilled romaine drizzled with homemade caesar dressing, we were really glad that we had indulged.

For entrees, I ordered the Rib Eye Pizzaiola which was perfectly grilled and topped with sautéed sweet peppers and onions in a fresh tomato sauce. One of my guests could not stop raving about the Whole Roasted Bronzini which was nicely seasoned and stuffed with parsley, tomato, red onions, artichoke, drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, aged balsamic and lemon.

My other dining partners chose to share the Veal Chop Milanese – which was perfectly cooked - bone in, pounded thin and lightly breaded, with a delicious mix of salad greens, tomatoes and red onion with a balsamic vinaigrette and a delightful Shrimp Risotto which was topped with mounds of shrimp

and asparagus with light mascarpone cream. We were all over the top happy with our meals and were already trying to set a date to come back again. We finished off our meals with cappuccinos and asked for four forks to share the homemade chocolate cake that our waiter said was everyone’s favorite – And wow, was he right – rich and yummy!

SoLita also features a nice selection of pizzas that they cook in their wood burning oven – I saw a couple on the menu that I may want try on my next visit. SoLita Las Olas definitely brings you back home to family traditions with a fusion of modern ambience.
