Nasolabial folds before. a

After 2 mL of Perlane-L Individual results may vary.

In clinical studies evaluating the Restylane family of products, Restylane-L® and Perlane-L® demonstrated less discomfort at injection and up to one hour later compared to Restylane and Perlane, respectively.

The Restylane family of products includes Restylane®, Restylane-L®, Perlane®, and Perlane-L®. These products can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane may also be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21 years. Ask your doctor which is right for you. Important Safety Considerations for the Restylane family of products Products in the Restylane family should not be used by people with previous bad allergies, particularly to microorganisms known as gram-positive bacteria, or by people with serious allergies to drugs that have previously required in-hospital treatment. These products should not be used by people with bleeding disorders. Products should not be injected anywhere except the skin, just under the skin (Perlane and Perlane-L only), or in the lips (Restylane only). Restylane-L and Perlane-L should not be used by anyone with a known allergy to lidocaine. Use at the site of skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infection should be postponed until healing is complete. In these instances, product use could delay healing or make your skin problems worse. After treatment, you might

have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, or tenderness. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than 7 days in nasolabial folds and less than 14 days in lips. Swelling may be more likely in patients under 36 years, and bruising may be more likely in patients over 35 years. Rarely, the doctor may inject into a blood vessel, which can damage the skin. Although rare, red or swollen small bumps may occur. If you have had facial cold sores before, an injection can cause an outbreak. To avoid bruising and bleeding, you should not use the products if you have recently used drugs that thin your blood or prevent clotting. Products should not be used during pregnancy, when breastfeeding, or in patients under 18 years for nasolabial folds. Treatment volume should be limited to 6.0 mL in wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and limited to 1.5 mL per lip (Restylane only), as greater amounts signiﬁcantly increase moderate and severe injection site reactions. The safety or eﬀectiveness of treatment in areas other than nasolabial folds and lips (Restylane only) has not been established in controlled clinical studies. The Restylane family of products is available only through a licensed practitioner. Complete product and safety information is available at www.RestylaneUSA.com.

FOOTBALL – THANKSGIVING ELECTIONS As we move into fall the college and professional football seasons are in full swing. Some Florida teams are doing well, while others are still in rebuilding mode. The Miami Dolphins seem to be playing competitive on the field, yet they have fallen a bit short in a few games. Let’s hope the team will come together enough to make it to the playoffs. I am often amazed with the impact of the game on people, where a pigskin is battled for and carried from end to end. It is a contest that unites a community and at the same time, sometimes divides individuals. It conjures up pride and school spirit, while spawning rivalries which carry on for years after one leaves their alma mater. Still, come the fourth Thursday in November, many of us will be either playing the game with family or watching it on the television as we celebrate the holiday tradition. Thanksgiving has been celebrated for centuries. The first dates back to 1621, commemorating the long awaited harvest in a Massachusetts colony. George Washington was the first president to declare the holiday, in 1789. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, seeking to lengthen the Christmas shopping season, proclaimed Thanksgiving the third Thursday in November. Controversy followed, and Congress passed a joint resolution in 1941 decreeing that Thanksgiving should fall on the fourth Thursday of November, where it remains. I believe this holiday provides us an opportunity to reflect on the year and hopefully prepares everyone for the one ahead. It gives us the chance

to be grateful for the triumphs and tribulations which shape us and spawn the building blocks for our future. It’s a time to come together as a family and community, creating the energy to elevate our ability to achieve more than we ever thought possible. It is an occasion to remember those who have gone before us and reﬂect on their legacy. I hope you make the most of this holiday, enjoy the time and make it the best ever! As Lincoln said, “In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Speaking of making it count, I urge you to vote on November 6th. There are many elected ofﬁces and important constitutional amendments on ballot, so I also encourage you to learn about the candidates and review the issues which will impact you directly in the years ahead. To you I say, ponder the words of

Barbara Boxer, “I am sure that every one of my colleagues - Democrat, Republican, and Independent - agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.” To those with the fortune of being elected, I suggest you heed the thoughts of President Ronald Reagan who said, “There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.” Have a Great Month and I wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving. As Always, Enjoy the Lifestyle!™

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

CRAZY ABOUT CARS? SO WAS ANDY WARHOL. The Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale partnered with PNC Bank to present Warhol and Cars: American Icons, bringing more than 40 distinctive pieces of art to South Florida. This is the first exhibition to examine Warhol’s fascination with automotive vehicles as products of American consumer society, making it

a must-see for art and car fanatics alike. The Montclair Art Museum in New Jersey organized the exhibition, which traces the development of Warhol’s work with cars throughout his career. Warhol and Cars pieces date all the way back to 1946 and include early line drawings and 1950s commercial work, paintings, and works on paper from the 1960s through the 1980s that present his signature silkscreen process.

We are happy that this partnership allows us to share our collection with the cultural community of South Florida.” As one of the most iconic and influential artists of the 20th century, Andy Warhol helped define America. His signature images of such American products and celebrities as Campbell’s soup cans, Coca-Cola bottles, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor have become instantly recognizable. “PNC believes in the power of culturally engaging programs to strengthen our communities,” said Craig Grant, regional president,

“The Andy Warhol Museum is delighted that, through the generosity of PNC, Warhol and Cars: American Icons will be seen at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale,” said Eric Shiner, director of The Andy Warhol Museum. “This show is indicative of Warhol’s larger

practice of examining popular American culture - and what could be more American than cars - through the lens of his art. Warhol and Cars contains some of Warhol’s most accessible and beautiful images including representations of Cadillacs, Buicks, and even the VW Beetle.

An exhibition catalogue published by the Montclair Art Museum, Warhol and Cars: American Icons, written by Gail Stavitsky, MAM chief curator, is the first to focus on Warhol’s Cadillac paintings and other car-themed works within the context of his career. The catalog is available at Books & Books at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale. “Andy Warhol defied the styles of traditional art through his unique focus on American culture and advertising, which later credited him as a pioneer of the Pop art genre,” said William Stanton, Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale’s interim executive director. “It’s important that our repertoire of exhibitions span a variety of genres that appeal to art enthusiasts of all tastes.” Following a successful run at the Birmingham Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale will be the last stop on the Warhol and Cars: American Icons exhibition tour.

PNC Bank, Florida East. “We are excited that our relationship with the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh helped to bring this unique exhibition to Ft. Lauderdale. This not only compliments the Museum’s permanent collection of contemporary art, but supports the cultural vitality of this region.”

MUD RUN CRAZE

MUSIC

MUMFORD AND SONS

After their smash debut Sigh No More, which won British Album of the Year and Billboard Music Awards Top Alternative Album among other awards, Mumford & Sons have a new release Babel. Mumford & Sons uses bluegrass and folk instrumentation, such as a banjo, upright bass, mandolin and piano, played with a rhythmic style based in alternative rock and folk. The foursome, including Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, “Country” Winston Marshall, and Ted Dwane – who all play a variety of instruments, bonded over their shared love of “rootsy” music. Look for Babel on the charts, as the band already played on Saturday Night Live to an appreciative crowd and have launched a new tour – U.S. dates will be announced.

It’s just what it sounds like – a mud run! Runners slog through miles of mud and confront a variety of obstacles (which make you climb, jump over fire pits, crawl, swing and sometimes crash), that are most definitely going to test your strength and endurance. Also referred to as Adventure Racing, these events are anything but normal – one event in Florida even has zombies on the course attacking racers. The races are designed to be tough but exhilarating and mostly fun! They’re usually 5k in length and have their rewards – like free beers at the finish line and many have all-out bashes following the races with live music, food and drink. They even have shower stalls set up so racers can clean off and change into new clothes. Speaking of clothing, it’s smart to be prepared for one of these races with trail running sneakers and water proof socks made of high-tech fabric, shorts and shirts that you don’t mind getting wet and muddy and maybe some type of support and protection for your knees and elbows, like Ace bandages or some other sort of wrap to protect them while you are crawling and climbing. Also, don’t go alone; take a few friends and form a team. Run together, help each other when the obstacles get demanding and cheer for each other. Some teams even dress up in goofy outfits like dresses over top of their racing clothes or wear serious military style gear.

BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS UNVEILS THE CLUB LEVEL EXPERIENCE

Located on the Mezzanine Level of the Au-Rene Theater, the new Club Level offers patrons an exclusive experience.

With a view of the performance from the stage view windows within the lounge, guests will enjoy a truly unique theater setting. “In what we believe is the ﬁrst of its kind in a performing arts center, the Club Level at the Broward Center offers a unique entertainment experience for South Florida theatergoers,” said Broward Center President and CEO Kelley Shanley. “With a private lounge offering light fare and cocktails adjacent to oversize, plush theater seating and other top-shelf amenities, the Club Level is designed to complement the social aspects of attending a performance. We’re delighted to introduce this innovative concept to our audiences. It will be the ideal setting for business and group entertainment -- or a memorable night out on the town.” The Club Level lounge will be open 60 minutes prior to curtain, throughout the performance and for 45 minutes after the ﬁnal bow, allowing guests to relax and linger over coffee or dessert following the show.

health & wellness HEALTHY THANKSGIVING SNACKS

THANKSGIVING EDITION It’s November and that means Thanksgiving is drawing near – with its glorious foods tempting family and friends to pig out. But it’s possible to eat healthy during thanksgiving. It just takes a little willpower and a fresh approach when preparing the meal.

TIPS FOR A HEALTHIER THANKSGIVING

Turkey: When it comes to eating turkey stick with the white turkey meat with the skin removed, and take it easy on the gravy. A three ounce portion will save you 50 calories and four grams of fat compared to dark meat. Stuffing: Avoid white bread stuffing. Use multi-grain bread or whole wheat. And replace the chicken broth with low sodium broth. Also, don’t be afraid to add some fruit and toasted nuts to the stuffing. Cranberry sauce: Check out homemade cranberry sauce recipes. They tend to have much less sugar than canned cranberries Mashed potatoes: Use skim milk or low sodium chicken broth instead of whole milk or cream when whipping the potatoes, and cut down on the butter. Potatoes have a wonderful flavor; they don’t need a half stick of butter. Or make sweet potatoes. Dessert: Pumpkin pie is a staple on Thanksgiving and it is surprisingly healthy when compared to other desserts and it is loaded with beta carotene. Blueberry and Cherry pie are also good choices.

GO TAKE A HIKE It doesn’t have to be a hike, but after you’re done eating and cleaning up after your Thanksgiving feast, it’s a great time to take a walk. A nice relaxed walk with family and friends is an excellent way to wrap up your festivities; it’s not only exercise it’s a bonding experience.

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

Most people think of Thanksgiving as an all day feast with hors d’oeuvres and snacks followed by the main meal. Try these healthy snacks to cut down on your caloric intake: Fresh fruit: An array of colorful fresh fruit such as strawberries, slices of apples and pears, melon and grapes create a beautiful presentation – and they’re tasty. Cheeses: Try low fat cheeses, such as cheddar and jack cheese. Or you could put out some brie to pair with the fruit. Dips: Make your favorite dips but use fat free Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. And instead of fatty chips, cut up and serve fresh vegetables for the dip. Nuts: Nuts have abundant amounts of protein, ﬁber, healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. Try walnuts, almonds, pistachios and pecans.

MATTERS

TURKEY CONTROVERSY: DEEP FRYING Some turkey enthusiasts believe that deep frying a turkey is the best possible way to keep the bird moist and delicious. But deep frying food is a no-no, right? Well, if you use 100% peanut oil you could be limiting the poor health impact of frying. The American Heart Association says, “Most of the fats you eat should be the “better” fats – monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fats.” Vegetable oils (canola oil, olive oil, peanut oil, and sunﬂower oil) are recommended sources of these fats. A 4-ounce serving of roasted turkey has 241 calories and 12 grams of fat while a 4-ounce serving of turkey deep-fried in peanut oil comes in at 253 calories and under 14 grams of fat, a slight difference. You can purchase turkey deep fryers at Amazon, Home Depot and Target.

Connecting With Your Kids Through Sports And School BY DAVID SHERMAN

As I spoke about in last months’ column, kids connect best with you when you, the parent, are actually enjoying yourself as much as they are. I have two boys and through coaching all of their sports, we have developed a bond greater than I could have hoped. You don’t actually have to be the head coach. You can be the assistant or the score keeper and the snack mom. Just being at the field and supporting the kids and learning what to do from the coaches to help the child do better for the next game will show enough interest to bond. Children are very perceptive and are far more aware of your involvement than you think. Having the parents, if possible, at the field as often as possible will create a good sense of family unity even if the parents are divorced. Those are some of the best memories I have as a kid. I have coached 13 seasons of sports so far and always get emotional when a kid performs well and the first thing they do is turn around to the stands to see if their family saw it, like clockwork. My 8-year-old actually started his own blog called AJs’ World of Sports where he documents his sports achievements. Another great way to connect is through their school. This needs to be done sooner than later because the

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

teenagers may not be too thrilled with mom or dad being around their friends. I try and volunteer in the lunch room, clinic and ﬁeld trips pretty regularly. The way my boys’ faces light up when they come in for lunch and I am there is priceless. They are actually happy that I am there and show me off to their friends. Like I said the teenagers may sing a different song. It is also a great way to stay connected for parents who are divorced and don’t have the kids for a week at a time. That is my situation and the boys never go two days without seeing me because of either coaching or school activities. I think because of the involvement in the kids’ lives at an early age, you can get and stay connected as the children get older and keep those lines of communication as open as possible. Please feel free to contact me for more info on my ﬁtness training or Life Coaching services at GPSLifeStyle@ Hotmail.com or 954-649-3283.

COMMUNITY BANK SETS GOLD STANDARD IN SERVICE, LENDING A five-star rating. A diversified and growing portfolio of financial products and services. South Florida’s Local/ Community Bank of the Year. A solid 65-year history of serving the region’s community banking needs. City National Bank of Florida (CNB) continues to show why it’s the gold standard in banking. With $4.3 billion in assets and 26 convenient banking centers from MiamiDade County to the greater Orlando area, CNB is large enough to give clients what they want and small enough to provide it the way they want it. One example of that: CNB recently became the first South Florida community bank to launch an iPad® app. That service complements its iPhone®, Android™, text banking and other mobile banking solutions. It’s big bank tech with a community bank feel, according to CNB President and CEO Jorge Gonzalez. CNB offers a variety of products and services, including custom residential mortgage and commercial loans, lines of credit, small business and corporate banking, treasury management services, and much more. The bank is one of Florida’s top lenders and is on track to lend $1 billion this year. And while large national banks make their decisions elsewhere, CNB prides itself on serving clients locally with access to key decision makers. “We take the time to know our customers, understand their needs and be accessible,” Gonzalez said. “Our combination of best in class service and local decisions makes us unique in our market. There are few banks capable of operating the way we do, being big enough to offer our clients a broad array of products and services while at the same time maintaining a small bank feel.” Its unique client experience has

helped the bank post strong financial results and notable growth. Through July the bank had a $20 million profit, while growing loans and maintaining stellar asset quality. White glove service is a key point of differentiation for the bank. That might explain why CNB was one of the only two banks in Florida without any service complaints last year, according to a study by Miami banking consultant Kenneth Thomas. And the bank isn’t resting on its laurels. It recently hired a service director with a hospitality background including stints at luxury brands such as Ritz-Carlton to take its service experience to the next level. “Service and our people will continue to be how we distinguish ourselves from competitors, and providing good service is not something the financial industry is known for,” Gonzalez said. The bank’s healthy balance sheet and loan portfolio prompted national bank rating firm BauerFinancial to give CNB a five-star rating, the firm’s highest mark for a financial institution. CNB’s impressive performance in 2011 earned it the South Florida Business Journal’s Local/Community Bank of the Year Award. “No other bank has had more of a positive impact on the business

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

community over the past year,” the Business Journal said in making the award. The newspaper also cited the bank’s active lending, commitment to community and growth. CNB recently opened its newest banking center in the city of South Miami at 6388 South Dixie Highway. It is looking to continue its expansion and is looking at locations in Weston, Pembroke Pines, Medley and Boca Raton. CNB also continues to make new loans. The bank recently closed a $13.5 million acquisition/renovation loan for Starcreek, a 267,000-square-foot, a 314unit apartment community situated on 14 acres in North Miami Beach. The loan will be used for tenant improvements and property upgrades. The City of Delray Beach also turned to CNB to provide its Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) with a $4 million line of credit aimed at funding several infrastructure projects and property acquisitions in the community. “Our friendly, experienced and knowledgeable team of bankers is a huge reason for CNB’s success,” Gonzalez said. “CNB’s clients know that when they bank with us, they are receiving nothing less than the very best in banking service and expertise from a community bank.”

We make business happen.

We are really lending. We’re a proven performance lender that understands you need a partner that not only takes the time to understand your needs but that also can make quick decisions locally to help you grow. City National Bank is a full service commercial bank. We lent more than $750,000,000 last year. That’s part of the reason why the South Florida Business Journal named us your Community Bank of the Year.

ELEGANCE with an edge N

amed after the famous corner at the end of the straight-away at Le Mans, where Bentley vehicles have roared to six victories, the Mulsanne exhibits Bentleys sporting pedigree and its unmatched flair for luxury. When first introducing this vehicle Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen of Bentley remarked: “The challenge we set our engineers was to create a new, grand Bentley that would stand as the pinnacle of British luxury motoring, offering the world’s most exclusive driving experience. They have responded to this challenge with real passion, and the result is a luxury grand tourer that sets new standards in terms of comfort, effortless performance and handcrafted refinement – the very qualities for which Bentley is renowned.“ And new to the 2013 model is a standard ultra-slim, tilt-opening sunroof with tinted glass, which draws light into the cabin. The sunroof is also equipped with a color-matched Alcantara blind that silently closes at the touch of a button. Other standard features on the Bentley Mulsanne include: s 6.7 liter twin-turbocharged V8, producing 505 hp and 752 lbs. ft. torque s Drive Dynamic Control: four driver-selectable settings – Three standard modes: Bentley, Sport and Comfort and a fourth mode “Custom” allows the driver to tune the system to his or her driving style s Paintwork applied and polished by hand to a mirror-finish: A choice of 28 paint colors customized for the Mulsanne s Hand-selected leather to all trimmed surfaces including seating, console, door panels and more

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

s Front seats with 12-way electrical adjustment, including lumbar support, two memory positions and adjustable heating s 8” high-resolution color screen to display “infotainment” and vehicle systems information, which is automatically concealed behind a veneered panel when not in use s Central Multi Media Interface (MMI) rotary controller with convenience keys for instant access to the main system of menus: Navigation, Telephone, Radio, Media, (including DVD’s when ﬁtted) Tone, Information and Car systems s Satellite navigation system integrated in car’s hard disc, ensuring fast route calculation. Four map conﬁgurations in system including 3-D topographical maps and city views and day/night display modes s Mulsanne audio system with 14 speakers – two subwoofers, powered through six channels with digital sound processing s Full iPod and MP3 player compatibility including full-color album art display and video playback s Telephone system with Bluetooth wireless connectivity

But that’s not all; Bentley is also introducing the new Mulsanne Mulliner edition. This Mulsanne is a distinctive and sportier interpretation, blending a range of eye-catching design features such as unique painted or polished 21-inch wheels with race-derived, titanium fasteners; a pair of sweeping wing vents made from cast, polished stainless steel that duplicate Bentley’s “Flying B” emblem, which emphasize the effect of speed and movement on this physically dynamic car; intricate Diamond Quilted leather on the front and rear seats and door casings; and the Drive Dynamics Control system that offers the “Sport” setting providing improved steering accuracy, grip on the road and body control. Both versions share the same engine, which propels them from 0-60 in just 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 184 mph. Bentley also announced that all Mulsanne models offer the option of “an exquisitely detailed, Bentley designed, luxury bottle cooler and rear cabin storage area with space for two full-size Champagne bottles in a canted position.” Included with this bottle cooler are three hand-blown and hand-cut lead crystal champagne ﬂutes, created by British designer, David Redman of London. And now this singular, grand touring Mulsanne lineup will be available to residents of South Florida. Sales Manager (Bentley/Rolls Royce Motor Cars/Aston Martin Fort Lauderdale) Howard Schwartz, remarked, “The new 2013 standard sunroof Mulsanne model will be available in November for show and test drive.” Asked if the Mulsanne had any competitors in the car market Mr. Schwartz replied: “The Mulsanne is at the top of the Bentley lineup. The only real competitor to the Mulsanne would be the Rolls Royce Phantom – the Mulsanne is Bentley’s answer to the Phantom.” For more information regarding the Mulsanne and the Mulsanne Mulliner edition contact Howard Schwartz at 954-779-2009 or email at hschwartz@holmanauto.com LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM | NOVEMBER 2012

Big Boats In Broward BY JOANNA MAZEWSKI

If you are familiar with Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Audi, then we’ve got a new luxury dialect for you to learn: Ferretti, Azimut, Lurssen, and more. But these are the type of toys you play with in the water. And we’re not talking bath toys, either. or years Fort Lauderdale has been called “The Venice of America,” while Broward County has been known as the largest and most talked about yachting hub on the East Coast, and maybe the entire country. Every year during the fall, the world’s biggest and most well-known builders, designers, sellers, buyers, and megayacht enthusiasts, achievers and aspirers gather for the biggest yacht show in the United States: the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show – better known as FLIBS. Some of the most extravagant, uber luxurious $20 million yachts are on display here, which would give the Victoria’s Secret models a good run for their money. Yep, they’re just that sexy. Award-winning yachting aﬁcionado Rebecca Taranto, who served as the Editor-in-Chief of ShowBoats International Magazine for eight years and is an avid contributor for yachting publications as well as part of the

F 32

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

design team at Taranto Creative, Inc., agrees. And not only is the boating show a big deal for the yachting industry, but for Broward County’s economy as well. When asked to describe Broward County’s yachting scene in three words, she says: “Vibrant. Responsive. Young.” And that type of vibrant youth is what might work to our advantage. While well-known German builders are known for their durability, Dutch for their assurance, and Italian for their oozing sex appeal, it’s perhaps our young age that makes us more willing to learn, explore, and innovate. And it all happens here, right in our very own backyard. Rebecca says: “The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, now in its 53rd year, has a lot to do with the yachting draw to Fort Lauderdale. While the Intercoastal Waterway makes Fort Lauderdale a great destination for boaters and cruisers, it was the boat show, conceived in 1959 by a group of brokers looking to ofﬂoad some excess inventory during

REBECCA TARANTO

the slow season, that spurred the city to be the yachting mecca it is today.” “While the overall size of yachts built and used in the United States are much smaller than those in the Mediterranean, the volume of yachts is comparable. Fort Lauderdale has long been known as the ‘Yachting Capital of the World’ and, despite ebbs and ﬂows in the economy, continues to claim that moniker,” Rebecca adds. And while the names Christensen, Heesen, Fincantieri, and Moonen really do sound like leggy European supermodels, there are a few homegrown beauties that are born and bred in South Florida as well, but without the the diva, Blackberrythrowing attitude. Rebecca explains: “Broward Marine and Denison Marine, who, from 1948, built hundreds of private yachts and commercial vessels, many of which are still cruising the Intercoastal Waterway today. Many successful reﬁt and repair facilities are based here, including Bradford Marine, Derecktor and Rolly

Marine, and many yacht builders from around the U.S. and the world have ofﬁces or representation here.” So what about the future of yachting in Fort Lauderdale? While there have been sizeable hiccups that have affected the industry due to the downturn of the economy, is yachting destined to get bigger, better, and faster here in Broward County? While yachties are well aware that the Monaco Boat Show, held every September in Monte Carlo, is the leading superyacht-focused boat show, the Fort Lauderdale International Boat show is by far the world's largest onwater show. This show alone generates about $650 million in revenue for the county each year. But this revenue doesn’t come without its setbacks or obstacles. “A debate has raged on for several years over whether to dredge the waters around the entrance to Port Everglades to allow for super freighters. This would also increase the draft at the Hyatt Pier 66 and

surrounding marinas and encourage larger yachts to visit and stay in Fort Lauderdale,” Rebecca explains. She adds: “Doing so would, however, displace sea grass, which is home to many South Florida marine species. Thus, for now, Fort Lauderdale is less of a cruising destination and more of an interim stopover location for yachts en route to the popular New England cruising grounds in the summer, the Mediterranean, or the Caribbean in the winter. Fort Lauderdale will continue to see owners, crew and yachting enthusiasts coming here to buy and sell their yachts and have them serviced or prepared for charter.” So with our future challenges and possible growing pains, there is still no doubt that the yachting industry will continue to grow and become an economic powerhouse for the county. Not only will the yachts be getting sexier and more luxurious, but the shows will be getting more modern as well. Move over super models.

Farm toTable BY JULIE KAY

IT’S BEEN SAID THAT FLORIDA, WITH ITS SCORCHING SUMMERS, IS AMONG THE HARDEST STATES FOR FARMING, PARTICULARLY GROWING PRODUCE. But that hasn’t stopped the Farm-to-Table movement from taking root in South Florida, where residents are in the market for healthful organic food that is gentle on the environment. The Farm-to-Table movement is still in its infancy, having only gained attention (and a moniker) within the last decade. The idea behind it is that food, particularly produce, not only tastes better and is more nutritious when purchased locally but is also more environmentally friendly because it doesn’t have to be ﬂown, trucked or shipped from other areas or even countries. According to the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, in a study of 16 common fruits and vegetables, the average one travelled just under 1,500 miles before it was sold to a consumer. Additionally, 39 percent of fruits and 12 percent of vegetables were imported from other countries. To keep food from spoiling during its long travels, some produce is picked before it’s ripe, which means it has not fully absorbed necessary nutrients from its soil environment. On the environmental front, moving produce 1,500 miles burns around 500 gallons of diesel fuel. Additionally, on a ﬁnancial basis, local farmers and economies are continually losing money to upstate New York, California, Chilean and other out-of-town farmers. Not only are local farmer’s markets sprouting up where people can buy locally grown produce, but restaurants that buy and serve local products – called Farm-to-Table restaurants – are also gaining popularity, albeit slowly. While Miami-Dade boasts a handful or more of such restaurants, Broward County only has a couple exclusively Farm-to-Table restaurant, Market 17 in Fort Lauderdale and the Nuage Café in Parkland. However, a growing number of other restaurants throughout the county are striving to become Farm-toTable and are at the minimum, organic, vegan and raw.

SUBLIME

Market 17 at 1850 SE 17th St. was started by brother and sister Kirsta and Aaron Grauberger two years ago. The siblings, who were raised in Colorado by a father who grew his own vegetables in a greenhouse, wanted to open a restaurant that emulated their own lifestyle, and were particularly inspired by the restaurants of Napa Valley in California. They knew it wouldn’t be easy to run a Farm-to-Table restaurant in Florida but were resolved to open Broward’s first such eatery. “We’re a great agricultural state but we definitely suffer in the summer, compared to a place like California that grow year-round,” said Kirsta. “This was a market that was not being served. And the demographics were right.” The upscale eatery has been well received by patrons, some of whom come from West Palm Beach or Miami and don’t mind that the meals cost from 15 to 20 percent more than at other restaurants. Menus at Market 17 are changed on a daily basis and vegans and vegetarians have choices galore. The most popular dishes are the Florida snapper and game meat such as buffalo. To find food free from pesticides, chemicals or hormones and animals raised in a humane environment, Market 17 buys from 50 different farmers, ranches and fishermen, including Swank Farms in Loxahatchee, Aaldmon Farms in Lake Worth, The Urban Farmer in Pompano Beach, Winter Park Dairy in Winter Park, Gary’s Seafood in Orlando and Palmetto Creek Farm in Avon Park. In select cases, the restaurant will buy from out of state vendors, however nothing is ever bought outside the United States.

“We’re a great agricultural state but we deﬁnitely suffer in the summer, compared to a place like California that grow year-round.”

KIRSTA AND AARON GRAUBERG

Another Fort Lauderdale restaurant, Sublime, grows many of its own herbs and vegetables on the roof of the restaurant at 1431 North Federal Highway, Fort Lauderdale, FL and at an off-site garden. The restaurant which counts celebrities like Paul McCartney, Bob Barker and Alec Baldwin as regulars opened in 2003 and closed brieﬂy after Hurricane Wilma. A gourmet vegan restaurant, Sublime was started by Nanci Alexander, founder of the Animal Rights Foundation of Florida in order to show that vegan food could be just as, well, sublime as non plant-based food. One hundred percent of the restaurant’s proﬁts support animal welfare efforts. If you go to the roof of the restaurant, you’ll see eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, basil, arugula and other vegetables and herbs growing wild. A full-time caretaker is in charge of tending to the garden.

“When you buy produce in stores, it’s lacking nutrients,” Brouwers said. “I try to go for the best nutrients possible.”

NUAGE CAFÉ

In Parkland, Nuage Café at 5903 W. Hillsboro Blvd. offers what is likely the only raw vegan and Farm-to-Table buffet, open for lunch and dinner. Owner Thierry Brouwers opened the café in December 2011, naming it after the French word for cloud because he considers water the most important element on earth. A self-taught raw food chef, Hippocrates Health Institute practitioner and scientist who studied cooking in France, Brouwers, whose alias is “Superlight,” Brouwers grows his own wheatgrass, sprouts, lentils and other vegetables and herbs hydroponically and also on trays in his home kitchen. He also buys from local farms. Brouwers is so serious about serving organic food high in nutrients he uses a device called a refractometer to test the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables before buying them, placing the hand-held device deep into the soil for a reading. “When you buy produce in stores, it’s lacking nutrients,” Brouwers said. “I try to go for the best nutrients possible.” Devotees travel from as far away as Jupiter and Tampa to sample the eatery’s lunch and dinner buffets or the veggie pattie, pineapple-mushroom-sun-dried tomato pizza, lucid dream tea, banana ice cream and the famed Magic water. Some also take part in the drumming circles, yoga, holistic medicine lectures and speed dating, making the Nuage Café a one-stop shop for health, ﬁtness and love.

MY ORGANIC CORNER Open for just six months, My Organic Corner at 127 Weston Rd. in Weston serves fully organic food made to order and served in biodegradable serving ware. The eatery buys its products from such companies as Fair Trade Organic Coffee, Organic Loose Leaf Teas, Grounds for Change, Applegate, Simply Organic, Global Organic (produce) and Ezekial 4:9 bread. In addition to organic salads, wraps, their popular vegan cheeseburger, smoothies, soups and juices, the restaurant offers a daily “facebook” special of the day, such as Moroccan tofu with chickpeas, squash, zucchini and onions, served with jasmine rice, for $8.99.

No place exempliﬁes farm to table more than Batten Farms in Davie, newly reopened under the auspices of the North South Institute and the Davie Agri-Tourism Center. There, you can have lunch at the Market Kountry Kitchen and then buy your own fruit and vegetables grown in a special soil bag out back. The restaurant serves up decidedly nonorganic food like country barbecue and jerk kitchen along with fresh vegetable soup made with broccoli, pumpkin and herbs grown out back. Fans come from throughout the tri-county area for the fresh smoothies and juices.

27 NOVEMBER LAS OLAS BOULEVARD SE 6TH AVE TO SE 11TH AVE

954.258.8382

50th Annual Christmas on Las Olas It’s getting to look a lot like Christmas… Especially…on Las Olas Boulevard! Thanks to this year’s Presenting Sponsor along with the Las Olas Association and its many valued corporate partners, this year’s 50th Annual Christmas on Las Olas should be spectacular! “This is our gift to the community,” said Luke Moorman, President of the Las Olas Association, the producer of the annual holiday event. “It has a long and cherished tradition that brings out locals and visitors and is the kickoff of the holiday shopping season. Naturally, being our Golden Anniversary, we are planning some special surprises.”

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

Christmas on Las Olas takes place on Tuesday, November 27th from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with the streets between S.E. 6th Avenue to S.E. 11th Avenue closed to vehicular traffic. Over 40,000 people are expected to attend to experience some of their favorite things… snow showering down from the rooftops and children climbing the Anidjar & Levine Snow Mountain… and sliding down in huge ‘frisbee-like’ plastic saucers. Snow Mountain benefits the Southeast Police Motorcycle Rodeo, which is dedicated to helping children and families who have lost loved ones in the line of duty. This is the third year that Anidjar & Levine is sponsoring Snow Mountain. And returning for the second year is “Skate Las Olas,” a special synthetic ‘ice skating rink’ on the ‘Great Lawn’ of the Riverside Hotel. The greatly enlarged skating rink will be open from November 27th through January 1st. Of course, skates are provided and there are special packages for nonprofits… What a fun fundraising venue! Once again, Las Olas Lifestyle will sponsor the popular Santa Booth. As always, the core of the evening’s festivities are the dozens of local choirs from schools and churches that will fill the air with the sounds of the holidays. There are three stages where groups will be performing throughout the evening. And… strolling carolers will delight the crowds. To add still another flavor to Christmas on Las Olas, an eclectic array of food vendors will be offering holiday treats! Ho… Ho… Ho! “It’s a great opportunity for people to discover the many new stores, restaurants, art galleries and specialty boutiques that have opened since

our last Christmas on Las Olas,” said Randi Karmin, Executive Director of the Las Olas Association. “The Boulevard has experienced an exciting Renaissance over the past year, with some wonderful new businesses to explore. Locals always enjoy visiting with store owners who have become friends over the years. It’s just a great night in every way!” Other corporate partners include Mangos and the Las Olas Company. Caroline Carrara, a member of the Board of Directors of the Las Olas Association, echoes Randi’s comments regarding new businesses on the Boulevard. “Part of “It’s a great opportunity for people to discover the many new the joy of coming to Christmas on Las Olas stores, restaurants, art galleries is that it’s a good time and specialty boutiques that have to explore and discover some of those new opened since our last Christmas businesses,” Caroline on Las Olas.” noted. “Gift giving is always fun, but in many cases, it’s just not that easy to ﬁnd something special and out-of-the-ordinary. By visiting these new stores, visitors will get some fresh gift ideas so that when they are ready to do some serious shopping, they will know just where to go!”

With thousands of tiny lights in the branches of the Black Olive trees in the medians and wrapped around the soaring Royal Palm Trees as well as cheerful static and kinetic lighting displays from one end of the Boulevard to the other, Las Olas takes on the aura of a magical holiday wonderland! Free family photos at Carroll’s Jewelers and a lighted Menorah placed in one of the medians are some of the other popular traditions. Business owners have gone all out to decorate their windows to enhance the overall ambiance of the street. This holiday season will also feature the debut of Premier Beverage’s “Christmas Karameltini” a specialty Stoli Salted Karamel cocktail, only found this holiday on Las Olas Boulevard. Stoli Salted Karamel is the newest addition to Stoli’s innovative ﬂavor portfolio. “Premier Beverage Company, a longstanding supporter of Christmas on Las Olas, is happy to once again be the Presenting Sponsor of this wonderful community event,” said Jenna Ingraham, Director of Public Relations at Premier Beverage Company. “It is very important that we give back to the communities where we do business and also provide an important reminder during this fastpaced season of festivities to make responsible serving and consumption a priority on your holiday checklist.” Visit www.lasolasboulevard.com or https://www. facebook.com/ChristmasOnLasOlas for the latest information or call (954) 954-258-8382 LP

A Safe Haven For Newborns Celebrates 181 Saved Babies BY KEVIN LANE

Nick Silverio, Founder of the Gloria M. Silverio Foundation, a 501(c) 3, has made it his mission to save the precious lives of newborns from the dangers of abandonment and assisting pregnant girls/women in crisis. To date there have been 181 newborns surrendered to A Safe Haven for Newborns, and they have all been compassionalty placed with families ready to give unconditionally to their new baby. According to Silverio, “We are overwhelmed and overjoyed when a precious life is saved; conversely, we are heartbroken when a newborn is abandoned. Without the Safe Haven services and helpline, many, if not most, of the babies saved would not be here today. They are growing up in loving adoptive homes, developing in every way and reaching for the world. Who knows, maybe one among them will become president of the U.S., a Supreme Court justice or a scientist who ﬁnds the cure for cancer. Or more importantly, maybe they will become great moms and dads to their own children.” On December 1, 2012, A Safe Haven for Newborns will celebrate the lives saved, and honor those who have made it possible for us to be here today. The 2nd Annual “A Wonderland in Safe Haven” will take place at the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six located at 2301 SE 17 Street Causeway, Fort Lauderdale. This inspiring evening will feature magical butterﬂies to symbolize a new life, a new outlook and new wings to explore the world. Guests

will enjoy a cocktail reception, silent auction, dinner, and dancing to the Raye Stevens Band.

“We are overwhelmed and overjoyed when a precious life is saved; conversely, we are heartbroken when a newborn is abandoned. Without the Safe Haven services and helpline, many, if not most, of the babies saved would not be here today.” Dedicated to the success of this event is Senator Rene Garcia as Chairman and the Board of Directors in conjunction with Ana Vento of Events by Vento Designs. A special recognition of the Monarch Award will be presented to Sheriff Al Lamberti, Broward County Sheriff.

Ready For His Close-Up BY STU OPPERMAN

It ﬁgures a movie buff, one who says nothing impresses him more than when someone recognizes the ﬁlm he’s quoting obscure lines from, would be living his own version of “Pay it Forward.” “What did you ever do to change the world?” In Brett Rose’s case, plenty. That would include everything from chairing the Board of Directors for Make-A-Wish Southern Florida to riding a bicycle 165 miles from Miami to Key West to raise money for HIV/AIDS. His philanthropic ways have also been embraced by others, most notably the staff at UNCS (www.uncs.com), the Fort Lauderdale-based company he founded in 2002. There, his team underwrites wish experiences for sick children, delivers backpacks stuffed with school supplies to those who would otherwise have nothing, and donates turkeys and toys to make the holiday season merrier for those in need. “We’ve made a conscious effort at UNCS to adapt the corporate culture to modern times,” said Rose, the 35-year-old CEO whose business has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing, privatelyheld companies in America “We’ve made a conscious three consecutive years. “That effort at UNCS to adapt the includes a healthy dose of social corporate culture to modern responsibility and understanding times. That includes a healthy that while we may be doing well dose of social responsibility as an organization, there are a whole lot of people right outside and understanding that while those doors who need a hand.” we may be doing well as an Sometimes those people are organization, there are a whole children, a subject near and dear lot of people right outside to the father, along with husband those doors who need a hand.” Jerry, of one-year-old Parker. Rose and his team have adopted three Make-A-Wish kids, meaning they’ve contributed $15,000 through voluntary payroll deductions and creative fundraising to enable children who have life-threatening medical conditions to have whatever their hearts desire. For 11-year-old Austin, it was a trip to Los Angeles to hang out with the cast of the “Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” Eight-year-olds Simone and Robmide visited New York City and Disney World. “We certainly appreciate what the UNCS team has

done to make dreams come true for our kids,” said Norm Wedderburn, the president/CEO of Make-AWish Southern Florida, “but that isn’t the end of the story. After another of our board members heard about all the fun Brett’s group had raising money, and the bonding and morale boost that took place along the way, he immediately implemented a similar program at his own company.

Donor Community Helps Local Non-Profits Raise Funds and Engage Their Communities The past five years have been difficult for the nation’s nearly 300,000 mid-sized non-profits. Many businesses have cut back on their event sponsorships and personal giving through traditional sources has declined. In response, many non-profit organizations have been forced to cut staff and scale back programs relied upon by some of the most vulnerable members of our community. As a result, non-profits are now taking a hard look at their traditional fundraising strategies and actively seeking new revenue sources. Most have correctly concluded that online fundraising offers the best opportunity to build a stable, long-term revenue stream. Yet, until recently, they have lacked the tools and technologies needed to pursue online fundraising in an efficient and ongoing way. Now, thanks to South Florida based software firm, DonorCommunity, all of that has changed. DonorCommunity’s cloud computing “Software as a Service” platform enables non-profits to cultivate donors, increase their fundraising efficiency and broaden awareness of their mission and goals online with unprecedented ease and efficiency. By expanding their reach and reducing their costs, DonorCommunity enables non-profits to devote more of their resources to delivering essential programs and services to their communities. “DonorCommunity is dedicated to serving the tens of thousands of small to mid-sized U.S. non-profits that play such a critical role in community life,” said David Blyer, DonorCommunity Founder and CEO. “Cloud computing makes it possible for us to provide these organizations with a software solution that is very affordable and perfectly attuned to their needs. We’re unique in the marketplace.” Among its South Florida clientele, DonorCommunity counts The Boys and Girls Clubs of Broward, Dan Marino Foundation, Can’t Stomach Cancer Foundation (Debbie’s Dream), ChildNet, The Children’s Fund for Glycogen Storage Disease Research, 2-1-1 Broward, Davie Police Athletic League (PAL), St. Vincent de Paul Seminary, Laurens Kids, The Haven and many others. Since implementing the DonorCommunity platform this past summer, The Children’s Fund for GSD Research has already realized significant benefits. According to Vice President & Fundraising Chair Lisa Hodes, “We are a very small foundation with a narrow audience, making it difficult to generate funds. Donor Community has streamlined our fundraising process and broadened our reach, enabling us to increase both our constituent base and revenue. DonorCommunity’s online marketing capabilities have also enabled us to become more efficient in tracking donations, thanking donors, and sharing our mission with our stakeholder community.”

NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM

DAVID BLYER, FOUNDER AND CEO OF DONOR COMMUNITY

“We recovered our entire DonorCommunity investment within a couple of weeks,” added Timothy Albury, Director of Davie PAL. “Since then, the upside has been incredible. We’re raising more funds now than ever before. DonorCommunity also provided us with a great new website and comprehensive capabilities for keeping kids and parents informed about our programs and services. DonorCommunity has moved us forward in a major way.” According to Shelia J. Smith, President & CEO of 2-1-1 Broward, “We rely on community support to produce a signiﬁcant percentage of our annual operating funds, so it’s essential for us to maintain an ongoing dialogue with event attendees and supporters so that they remain actively engaged with our organization. DonorCommunity’s software platform has helped us better manage our fundraising capabilities and relationships with our supporters.” DonorCommunity also offers a Software Donation Program that provides businesses with a costeffective and tax-deductible program for pursuing their corporate philanthropy, community relations and marketing objectives by purchasing and then donating DonorCommunity licenses to their favorite non-proﬁts.

FREEZING FAT FASTER ROGER H. STEWART, M.D. Skin Center 6550 North Federal Hwy., Suite 330 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308 (954) 903-0332 SkinCenter.com

For over 35 years, Roger H. Stewart, MD has been a pioneer in cosmetic dermatology and skin cancer treatment, employing state-of-the-art technology in his East Fort Lauderdale practice. He was the ﬁrst in Broward to offer CoolSculpting®, performing over 1000 procedures to date. By now, most people have heard of CoolSculpting, the newest, safest and most innovative FDAcleared way to naturally remove stubborn body fat without surgery or downtime. Developed by Harvard scientists and featured in countless articles and television segments, CoolSculpting provides undeniable results in just one treatment. Fat is more sensitive to cold than the overlying skin. Using patented technology, fat cells in the target area are cooled and crystallized – triggering a biological process called apoptosis, in which the dead fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body. Precise temperature control and patented technology ensure only fat cells are frozen while the skin and surrounding tissues are protected from damage. With CoolSculpting, there are no knives, no suction hoses, no needles and no scars. Results look natural and are visible

as early as three weeks after treatment, with the most dramatic results after two months. Experience, technique and innovation make a big difference. Skin Center was the ﬁrst in Broward to offer CoolSculpting and now we’re offering the Treatment to Transformation (T2T) program that stresses the importance of personalized treatment programs. Rather than focusing on individual bulges, T2T uses more attachments applied strategically to sculpt a larger overall area, while areas requiring the greatest fat reduction may receive overlapping treatments in a single session. Combined with low package pricing, Treatment to Transformation allows Skin Center to accomplish a more dramatic result for our patients in less time for a cost similar to traditional CoolSculpting. Skin Center is the ideal choice for your CoolSculpting treatments. Our experience is unmatched in South Florida, our luxurious treatment rooms and friendly staff are here to serve you,

and, at an hour per treatment, patients also appreciate how Skin Center’s four CoolSculpting machines allow us to do more in shorter appointment times by treating multiple areas at once, for example treating abdomen, love handles, bra fat and thighs in a single hour. To ﬁnd out if you are a candidate for CoolSculpting, schedule a free personal consultation at our Fort Lauderdale ofﬁces. Our CoolSculpting team will determine if you’re a good candidate and recommend the best course of treatment to achieve your goals. Visit us online at www. fatreezebroward.com to watch videos, testimonials, see before & after pictures and learn even more about the science behind this breakthrough new noninvasive fat removal procedure. For more information on CoolSculpting including our “before & after” treatment photos, visit www.fatfreezebroward.com. To set up your free CoolSculpting consultation, call Skin Center today at (954) 903-0332.

A CASE OF ‘SUB-LABORATORY’

HYPOTHYROIDISM “My husband is so glad I’m seeing you.” Usually it’s the wife that pushes the husband to go to the doctor, not the other way around. “He must be very concerned for you. Tell me why you’re here.” Jill sighed, “It seems like I’ve been going to specialist after specialist trying to ﬁgure out what’s wrong.” “How about we start with some history. I scheduled 80 minutes with you today, so you have plenty of time to tell me your story.” “I feel like I’m jumping out of my skin. I’ve always been high energy, but now it’s more of an anxious-edgy feeling; almost like I’m juiced up on caffeine. If those antidepressants actually worked, I might have actually believed all the doctors that said I was just crazy.” “But they didn’t work?” “No. It got worse. Not only was I moody, I gained 40 pounds on that stuff [1].” “Prescription medications are behind the counter for a reason, they’re potentially dangerous. And with doctors now prescribing antipsychotic drugs for depressionlike symptoms, previously healthy patients are gaining massive amounts of weight and getting diabetes [2].” “Then I found your article online about thyroid lab tests [3]. It was as if you were writing about me!” “How so?” “For the longest time, I thought I had a thyroid problem, but the doctors always said my tests were

‘in-range’. Your article explained how the tests they used aren’t always accurate [4].” “It’s called SUB-LABORATORY HYPOTHYROIDISM, a condition when the patient has all the signs and symptoms of a thyroid disorder, but because one test, the TSH, is within the reference range, they are denied beneﬁcial therapy [5].” “What I’m really interested in, however, is how are you going to help me when other doctors couldn’t?” “By being out-of-network, I’m able to spend more time with you to do a comprehensive history and physical exam. That guides me into ordering tests that other doctors didn’t think of, such as looking for Thyroid Antibodies or Reverse T3 [6].” I also know how to prescribe vitamins, herbals, and bioidentical hormones.” “You mean like Armour Thyroid?” “Exactly. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Ever since 1955, when Synthroid was given special patent protection, thyroid treatment in America has morphed into a ‘onetest, one-pill’ paradigm. Armour Thyroid has both T4 and T3 thyroid hormones, as opposed to Synthroid that has only T4. The New England Journal of Medicine has shown that adding T3 significantly alleviates mood symptoms of sadness, confusion, anxiety, irritability, tension, anger, and fatigue [7].” “I’m deﬁnitely interested in your treatment approach, but how do

DR. KENNETH WOLINER Board Certified Family Physician 9325 Glades Road, Suite 104 Boca Raton, FL 33434 561-314-0950 holisticfamilymed.com

you know what dose to use? The other doctors seem to treat just based on the TSH?” “When treating a patient more based upon symptoms than on lab tests, I use an analogy of ‘driving a car with a broken speedometer [8]. Imagine the traffic light turning green and you are about to turn onto the on-ramp of the local interstate highway. You don’t look at the dashboard constantly, do you? No. Instead, you put your foot on the accelerator pedal slowly but surely. Every so often you gauge your speed compared to the traffic. By starting at a low dose, and gradually increasing, we can quickly find the dose that works best for you. Attentive drivers hardly ever need to brake pedal, and by monitoring patients closely (physical exams, EKG’s, Bone Density (DEXA) scans, etc.), it is rare for my patients to feel side effects [9].” Jill did start on thyroid hormone, and by the second dose adjustment, her depression lifted. “I’m no longer the ad you see on TV. My husband thanks you!”

AND

another thing... DOES PRETTY MATTER? BY BRUCE TURKEL

In his best seller Blink, Malcolm Gladwell writes about the decisions we make quickly Gladwell argues that millions of years of evolution have given us the skills we need to make instant choices, often without all the facts. One of his examples is a story about a museum that spent an enormous amount of money on a well-tested and professionally authenticated ancient statue only to have an expert question the providence of the piece after one quick glance. Being a designer, I found that discussion extremely interesting because I often wonder the same thing. Is surface design — and the decisions made because of it — a shallow criteria or is it a true harbinger of much deeper meaning? Nature seems to side with the second argument. The black/red/yellow pattern of a coral snake, for example, broadcasts the viper’s poisonous abilities, hence the nursery rhyme, “red on yellow, kill a fellow, red on black, friend of Jack.” Thorns, fangs, and claws all look dangerous and remind us to stay away. And evolution has graced some less dangerous creatures, such as the small emperor moth, with features designed to make them look much more formidable than they actually are — in the moth’s case, spots across delicate wings that resemble the eyes of the ﬁercest owl. Politics, too, thrives on decisions made based on surface image. The 1960 presidential debate between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy is an oft-quoted example. While most analysts say that radio listeners thought Nixon won the debate, Kennedy was declared the winner based on TV viewers. JFK’s youthful, vigorous, and handsome visage trumped the old school Nixon who was described as tired, puffy, and unshaven. Regardless of their political afﬁliation, every president since Reagan has been tall and good-looking, including the two candidates for the current presidential race. And almost a century ago, the man widely declared to be one of the worst presidents in history, Warren Harding, was said to have won the race because he “looked presidential.” Packaging has always been one of the key assets of marketing too, and until recently the belief was that 80% of purchase decisions were made in-store when the consumer actually saw the product. Today, when more and more purchase decisions are made online, sites that are visually oriented and aesthetically pleasing outscore and outsell sites that are not. Computerization has also made surface appeal more important. Because of modern design and manufacturing

techniques, virtually all products function the way they should. Remember the days when TVs used to break? Picture tubes would blow, the gears inside dials (remember dials?) would strip, remote controls would fail. But thanks to computer design and digital signals, today’s TVs work like they’re supposed to and consumers don’t feel the need to replace them very often. To stimulate sales, manufacturers have to create new features - ﬂat screens and 3D TV - just to get their customers back into the stores. Cars from Korea’s Kia used to be considered cheap and tinny transportation. But just as with televisions, computer-aided design and manufacturing changed the abilities and durability of the cars, bringing them into line with other, much more expensive automobiles. Kia telegraphed these changes with cutting-edge design and today their beautiful cars are rocketing up the sales charts. But the question remains, are visuals reliable indicators of quality or just shallow eyewash? Would Ron Paul have been a more successful candidate if he looked more like Mitt Romney than a ventriloquist’s dummy? Would Romney and Barack Obama have been as successful as they’ve been without their movie star looks? Would Apple have become the most valuable technology company on the planet without its steadfast commitment to design? Miami, Milan, and Madrid have all built their businesses based on aesthetics. Audi, Kia, and Inﬁniti, too. So have Apple, Bose, and Bang & Olufsen. But does that mean their product offerings are better than the rest? That’s a question deserving of a formidable debate. What I know is that besides being an enjoyable end in and of itself, good design is a valuable business asset. Companies that invest in aesthetics see the difference on their balance sheets. And time-starved consumers make purchase choices based on the snap decisions that have been honed by millions of years of evolutionary development.
