IWC. Engineered for men.
Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Miramar. Ref. 3880: An XL uniform doesn’t turn a man into a great pilot. After all, the cream of the crop – as members of the TOP GUN squadron are trained to be – regularly go way beyond the limits of ordinary humans. A watch designed to do the same is the Pilot’s Watch Chronograph TOP GUN Miramar. Its high-tech ceramic and titanium case, together with a soft-iron inner case to protect the movement against magnetic fields, is absolutely indestructible. Small wonder, then, that it occasionally goes much further than its wearer’s wrist. Mechanical chronograph movement | Self-winding | 68-hour power reserve when fully wound | Date display | Stopwatch function with minutes and seconds | Flyback function | Small hacking seconds | Soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields | Screw-in crown | Sapphire glass, convex, antireflective coating on both sides | Water-resistant 6 bar | Ceramic |

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

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
10
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
NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
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!™

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.

WARHOL FANS, START YOUR ENGINES Experience the iconic works from America’s most prolific Pop artist, Nov 10 – Feb 10.

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,
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.”
NSU/MOA
“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.
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.”

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.
5
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.
20
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

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.

Young Rotarians of Weston BY ALISON KALLMAN
THE RECENTLY FORMED YOUNG ROTARIANS OF WESTON (Y.R.O.W.) IS A GROUP OF YOUNG PROFESSIONALS WITHIN THE ROTARY CLUB OF WESTON. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO PROMOTE FELLOWSHIP AND LEADERSHIP OF YOUNG PROFESSIONALS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY OF WESTON. Throughout my entire life my father, Tom Kallman, has been very involved in The Rotary Club of Weston. I can remember marching with him and other Rotary members in the City of Weston’s Fourth of July Parade, helping with the Annual Rotary Run, and volunteering for the Concert in the Park as well as many other popular area events that the club so proudly participates in. Yet, while I may have volunteered my time, I didn’t totally understand what it really meant to be a Rotarian. I simply thought Rotary was a club for older professionals to network and occasionally raise money for the less fortunate. It wasn’t until my first Rotary breakfast - as a professional myself that I started to grasp the true meaning
24
of what a Rotarian is. I now know that it is not just for established local business and organizational leaders, and not just a great way to meet others in the business and professional community. Being a Rotarian is a way of life. It means a dedication to high standards and to community service. After learning about how much good the Rotary Club has done worldwide and in our own community, I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of; however, due to my age and still developing career, I was not sure if I would fit in. I still aspired to work with and give back to my community, but lacked a sense of belonging within the Rotary Club. It wasn’t until I was approached by a few other young professionals within the club to discuss
NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
creating a sub-group of our own that I really decided to commit myself to becoming a true Rotarian. Although I truly enjoy the company of all my fellow Rotarians, Y.R.O.W. gives me a chance to give back to the community while also networking and socializing with my peers. As a group, we have been developing new volunteer efforts that we are very passionate about, and we then involve the Rotary Club of Weston as a whole. Being a member of Y.R.O.W. has been a truly enriching and rewarding experience, and has also contributed to my growth as a person, a community member and a young professional. I hope my experience motivates others to get involved with Y.R.O.W. For more information go to www.westonrotary.com

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 38
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

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.

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.

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.

JASF SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENTS Junior Achievement of South Florida has been recognized by JA Worldwide with the Summit Award for Financial Solvency, Program Impact, Program Quality, and Overall Management Effectiveness. Junior Achievement of South Florida just completed (June 30, 2012) the third operating year of the largest outreach for Capstone programs in the world. Since opening in the fall of 2009, over 112,000 students have studied and visited JA BizTown and JA Finance Park at JA World Huizenga Center. JA was accepted and fully participated in the Community Foundation of Broward’s “Boards in Action” leadership training. This enabled JA to create a high level, effective and engaged Board of Directors to further lead in advancing the mission of JA. The provision of JA Summer Camp in June and July of each summer is an augmented and extended version of JA BizTown. Over 200 disadvantaged students are served each year. Junior Achievement World has become a unique learning resource for a wide range of children with disabilities. The third USA placement of exact bronze replicas of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights were gifted to JASF and are now housed in a new gallery within JA World Huizenga Center. Sponsorship provided also allowed JA to secure a copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for every 8th grader in Broward County. These 8th graders now see and experience these historic and world changing documents. These are examples of excellence in our field because we have been able to serve thousands of students, increase impact, remain solvent, and inspire a community via a 5 star, educational facility that brings joy back to the education arena for local children!

andres luna. Local soccer hero making a difference. BY TERESA ZARCONE-PEREZ
Adrenaline levels rise within the soccer players who run along the field, as well as among the fans cheering in the stadium and team coaches shouting from the sidelines. And although the soccer players participating in the 2011 Deaf Pan American Games cannot hear the shouts and cheers, the wave of excitement is communicated at an all-time high for those in attendance. Carlos Andres Luna, a Peruvianborn Weston resident was selected as one of the top 18 players to represent the Men's USA Deaf ANDRES LUNA Soccer Team; Luna was the only player from the state of Florida on the USA national deaf team. “This hearing problem changed my way of life, but it never got in my way of my dream and my passion, which is to play soccer at the highest level,” says Luna who recently represented the United States in the Deaf Pan American Games held in Barquisimento, Venezuela from November 18-28. “I learned that dedication and sacrificing yourself and your time to get to where you want to be is my main reason to be there,” adds the 26-year-old who is completely deaf in his left ear and 40%-50% in his right ear. Recently, Carlos went to Columbus, Ohio to play against the Columbus crew reserve and scored one goal and one assist. He was unfortunately released from the National Team and will not be going to the world cup in Turkey this summer because he tore his MCL in the second half of the game. But that won’t stop Luna, whose childhood included struggles with medical visits and surgeries, which made soccer a recreational outlet and a motivation. Luna’s dad, Marcelo Neveleff, first introduced him to the sport at nine years old when he began playing for the American Youth Soccer Organization team in Los Angeles, California. Soccer is a way of life that Luna soon began to follow, developing a love for the sport and competition. Luna likes playing the sport particularly for the passion, competitive spirit and the depth of history that goes with it. “There’s nothing better than getting dirty and sweating everyday doing something you love and playing to get better,” he says. As a teenager, Luna’s family moved from California to Florida where he continued to play soccer for recreation, on a competitive level and eventually start to coach youth soccer. “There are so many ways to give back to the community, but I feel my calling and my expertise is through coaching soccer because it’s something that I enjoy doing and being.
It’s a passion to help young players develop and watch them grow as they play,” Luna says. As a coach, Luna’s first real team was in Weston for Weston Fury in 2006. Today, he leads two U9 soccer teams in the Weston FC club which has some 35 players. Luna teaches and facilitates his soccer skills and coaching knowledge to the kids, while expressing his motto, “always do what you believe in and work hard at it, never give up.” Luna left Weston for a time to work at various clubs throughout South Florida. He has over eight years of coaching experience from Dallas, Texas to working for Florida Gulf Coast University Soccer Summer Camps. He re-joined Weston FC in June 2010. Luna earned a USSF National “C” License and the USSF National Youth License. His playing experience as a youth player includes a variety of college showcases and prestigious tournaments throughout United States. Luna's playing skills took him as far as the United States National team. Past accomplishments include becoming one of the youngest and only coaches to win the FYSA Region Cup twice in a row with two different age groups: U15 boys Naples in 2010 and U12 boys Weston in 2011. Other tournament accomplishments vary from winning with different age groups such as U9, U12, and U15 boys; capturing the Plantation Thanksgiving Day Classic, Naples Classic, Region Cup twice, President's Cup, Weston FC tournament twice and Miami Lakes’ shootouts. Andres will lead the U10 Boys PDP program for the 20122013 season. The inspirational soccer player and youth soccer coach expresses his thoughts succinctly: “I want to make a difference in the community by being a role model for young kids with disabilities and show them that anything is possible and that nothing is impossible.” To help Andres Luna in fundraising efforts for participation in future soccer events, call 469-288-8007 or send an email to Andres.Luna@aol.com.

Weston’s Rising Singing Sensation BY KEVIN LANE
If Weston resident Ciara Rae was nervous singing in a recent contest, you sure couldn’t tell! After all, she was singing “Wild One,” a song she wrote; in what is arguably the largest country-music contest in the nation, the Texaco Country Showdown. Ciara was the last contestant in the local contest at the Round Up Country Western Club in Davie, where she won 1st prize and is now on her way up the ladder with the ultimate prize of a $100,000 recording contract. Her band, The Last Chance Band, along with a slew of family and friends, were in the audience to cheer her on… and according to Ciara… that helped a lot! The Texaco Country Showdown is aired on about 500 stations around the country and dates back to 1982. Before Texaco became the sponsor, the contest was known as the Colgate Country Showdown. This year, local entrants submitted recordings to WKISFM, and fans selected the contestants on-line… Another example of the social media and mobile “Music has consumed my platforms that are changing our lives. life since I was 13-years-old. “We each had five minutes I began singing locally to big to perform and the criteria crowds and realized that this for judging was raw talent, was what I wanted to do.” entertainment ability and crowd response,” Ciara said. Those contestants that sang original songs were given bonus points. Her next step towards stardom is the state contest… followed by the regional contest… and if she wins that, it’s on to the national and final contest in Nashville in January. “Music has consumed my life since I was 13-yearsold,” Ciara enthused. “I began singing locally to big crowds and realized that this was what I wanted to do.” Actually, her musical career started even earlier as Ciara started taking piano lessons when she was five! She started singing in her church choir and credits her “… best choir teacher ever,” Mrs. Leitz, for awakening her love of singing. She admits that she has been “… blessed by God, a great family, friends and friends that have become family.” This past September, Ciara sang the ‘National Anthem’ for the Marlins twice in two weeks.

sings locally in Weston, Las Olas and Pembroke Pines. And don’t miss her at the St. Bonaventure Festival November 8th and November 11th, where she will be performing with her band on opening and closing days of the Festival. Regardless of the outcome of the Texaco Country Showdown contest, Ciara has five new original songs posted on her website, including the Texaco winning song, “Wild One.” You can also hear her live Radio Interview at WKIS 99.9 Country. This young lady, with her amazing voice and awesome stage presence is on her way to becoming South Florida’s new young leading lady in Country Music. Visit her website at www.CiaraRae.com LP

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.”

“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.

However, Emerald departs from conventional wisdom in that it believes the classic “long-only,” buy and hold stock and bond strategy isn’t effective in today’s challenging and dynamic marketplace. “Our ultimate goal is to generate competitive returns over time with less volatility than the equity market,” said Hunter. Emerald has a diverse practice that serves many types of clients, from retirees and small business owners to CEOs and Foundations. “We believe each client is unique,” Budelman says. “Our goal is to provide our clients with the resources found in a larger firm, while also giving them the personalized attention expected from a smaller firm. Every year, Emerald hosts its clients at Open Houses, Informative Forums, Wine Events and Golf Outings, as well as a variety of other social gatherings. We want to take the time to not only know our clients’ financial goals, but to also understand their lifestyle and their families.” The firm’s owners believe in nurturing relationships with the local and national business community
and share their connections by hosting exclusive dinners and other private events, which give clients an opportunity to network with other individuals who have similar business interests. “These events have allowed us to cultivate strong long-term relationships, and we believe they have ALAN BUDELMAN done the same for our clients,” said Hunter. “In addition, Emerald has developed a unique monthly event called “Table for Ten” which brings together 10 CEOs who network and share their backgrounds and work experience. These gatherings have served as terrific referral sources for all the C-Level executives.” SCOT HUNTER Emerald also has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the community. Over the years, Scot and Allan have been instrumental in raising thousands of dollars for various local South Florida charities including Kids in Distress, Children’s Harbor, Broward Partnership for the Homeless, First Serve and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

READING FOR SUCCESS REBECCA SACHS, PH.D. Licensed Psychologist Ph.D. in Clinical & School Psychology Director of Psychoeducational Services ZZZ DFDGHPLF RSWLRQV FRP www.nbiweston.com 3KRQH Determining a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true reading abilities is complicated. A child that reads at an early age, very rapidly, or even appears to like reading may still not know how to read for success. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because reading for success means far more than being able to decode words or â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ nish books.â&#x20AC;? It means being able to comprehend deeper meanings, understand the purpose of the material, and being able to generalize reading skills to essays, tests, and other educational and real life activities. Beyond school, well-developed reading skills are related to career advancement and positive self-image- yes, even in high-tech ďŹ elds. In early grades, developing good reading mechanics is the priority. Later on, reading for success naturally becomes more of a complex, multidimensional process. In the course of their educational career, a child that is behind in foundational reading skills will be at increased risk for declining academic performance. Unfortunately, this problem can remain undiscovered for many
76
years, even until well into high school or college. Therefore, the importance of early detection and remediation cannot be overemphasized. Here are important questions for parents to ask to determine whether their child is merely reading versus truly reading for success: UĂ&#x160; Is my child able to describe their thoughts about the process of reading that goes beyond just superficially stating â&#x20AC;&#x153;the factsâ&#x20AC;? in the material? UĂ&#x160; Is my child able to identify how the answer choices on tests differ, and why one of them is more likely to be correct? UĂ&#x160; Can my child read instructions for homework or projects and innately understand how to create a plan and follow through without being â&#x20AC;&#x153;spoon fed?â&#x20AC;? UĂ&#x160; Is my child just as skilled at understanding nonďŹ ction as she is at ďŹ ction, or does she struggle reading her history textbook while breezing through the latest novel? UĂ&#x160; Can my child integrate infor mation from texts with his own original ideas to formulate a coherent argument (without relying on Spark Notes, of course)? UĂ&#x160; Does my child really know how to analyze ACT/SAT questions or are they over-reliant on rote use of test prep tricks?
NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
Reading for success is fostered by parents who impart that reading is meaningful, provide a variety of reading experiences, and are often observed enjoying books. Parents can also seize non-reading opportunities to help their child develop greater capacity for abstract and analytic thinking. For example, while watching television, parents can ask their child to paraphrase the scene and predict what they think will happen next, and why. They can also discuss the feelings and motivations of the characters. Then they can show their child how the same approach applies to reading. Yet, sometimes even a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best efforts may not be enough. In these cases, seeking professional assessment and intervention is often necessary. Targeted instruction in multidimensional reading skills, study strategies, and test preparation can make all the difference for many children. However, before starting any specialized program itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a good idea to make certain that the instructors are well versed in both understanding and teaching the intricacies of reading for success.

The use of methods to prevent pregnancy has existed for thousands of years, with the idea to limit or plan when to become parents. The perfect method does not really exist; each of them has pros and cons. In order to select your best alternative, think on these variables: UĂ&#x160; Your overall health. UĂ&#x160; How frequently are you sexually active and how many sexual partners do you have. UĂ&#x160; The number of children you have planned. UĂ&#x160; The effectiveness of the method considered. UĂ&#x160; You level of comfort with the selected method. Here are some of the different alternatives you can choose from: UĂ&#x160; Abstinence. UĂ&#x160; Rhythm method. UĂ&#x160; Barrier methods like condom and diaphragm. UĂ&#x160; Hormonal methods like the pill, injections, vaginal ring and patches. UĂ&#x160; Implantable devices (IUD, subdermal rods). UĂ&#x160; Permanent birth control methods-sterilization. I would like to focus on this last item. There are several procedures available for those who have

decided their family is complete. For men, vasectomy is a surgical procedure that prevents sperm ejaculation by severing and tying the tubes that transport them to the penis. Its failure rate is close to 1 in a 1000 vasectomies within ďŹ ve years of use. The main concern is that about 1 in a 1000 men may experience severe pain afterward. For women, surgical sterilization closes the fallopian tubes to prevent fertilization of the eggs, and can be done by different techniques (cut, tied, sealed), this is particular easier to be done at the same time with a cesarean delivery. Fails about 1-2 per 1000 procedures. This procedure requires a surgical suite, longer recovery and is usually more painful. anent, There is another permanent, n o n - s u rg i c a l p ro c e d u re , ontrol hormone free birth control method called ESSURE. The effectiveness is the highest ghest among all the alternatives. The e in procedure is usually done ocal the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce under local out anesthesia, and takes about en ten minutes. Most women es go home within 45 minutes rn of the procedure and return to normal activities in lesss than a day. The doctor places soft, ďŹ&#x201A;exible inserts (made of polyester fiber, nickeltitanium and stainless steel alloy) into each of the fallopian tubes through the natural a pathways of the vagina pe of cut and cervix without any type or incision. Over the next three

months the body works with the implants to create a barrier within the fallopian tube that prevents sperm from reaching the eggs. After three months a confirmation test is done to evidence that placement is correct and tubes are fully blocked. Although many have called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the new procedureâ&#x20AC;?, it has been used over half a million women since 2002, with the lowest failure rate among all procedures. The development of the ESSURE device was based on a large experience with heart stents and other similar devices. If your family is complete and you are interested in this procedure, I am a certified ESSURE doctor, and will be happy to answer your questions.

WHY BUY AN EXISTING BUSINESS? GOODWILL! I am not sure what event I was attending but the topic was creativity, getting out of your comfort zone, and thinking outside the box. The speaker challenged the crowd to hold up their arm that had a watch on it. Mine was my left. My watch is always on my left wrist. She asked everyone to take it off and put it on your other arm, and leave it there! Try it, very uncomfortable…. What happened next is exactly why existing businesses and franchises are great investments, and any future business owner thinking of a pure start up should take heed. Some of us moved our watches and kept them there for the rest of the presentation. Most moved their watch for a few minutes and felt uncomfortable and quickly returned them to their “correct” arm. Still others REFUSED to even move their watch! WOW, they couldn’t even move their watch for a minute!! The power of habit is huge!!! Imagine trying to create a new brand, new product, or new service. The ability to succeed is so overwhelming in my estimation, that you are much better off buying a business that has established customers with established habits or a franchise with a proven business model: Here’s a few ingredients in what we sometimes flippantly call goodwill, but have huge value because there are customers that are habitually using the service, product or location:
The GOODWILL HOT LIST: What to look for to buy an existing business: UÊ Established UÊ Location UÊ Phone Number UÊ Pricing structure UÊ Name UÊ Logo UÊ Color scheme UÊ Product reliability UÊ Employees UÊ Value to customer UÊ Warm feeling by customer UÊ Familiarity by customer UÊ Advertisements UÊ Networks UÊ Website? Domain Name? UÊ Business model UÊ How many more can you list Existing businesses are probably the most underrated investment in our free enterprise system! Alternative investments to buying an existing business: What do you think? UÊ Savings/CD’s- what return? UÊ Stocks- no thanks! UÊ Real estate- missed the boat! UÊ Vegas- usually a no win. UÊ Start up businesses- no way!

business mentor that you can trust. Understand the process takes time and that you need to be patient. However, once you find the right business or franchise, you must be decisive and move quickly! Great deals on businesses and franchises sell fast and the way to spot a great deal is to be educated on exactly what to look for. As I have outlined here in this article, goodwill is very real and valuable. If you don’t believe in the power of habit and goodwill, wear you watch on your other arm for a week!!
Existing businesses- Count me in! My advice for finding a good small business or franchise is simple. You have to get into the marketplace.

MAKING SOCIAL MEDIA PART OF YOUR MARKETING PLAN CAREN BERG Senior Vice President, Boardroom Communications 1 3LQH ,VODQG 5RDG 6XLWH 3ODQWDWLRQ )/ www.BoardroomPR.com When Apple announced the iPhone 5, the news truly spread like wildďŹ re. While traditional media such as CNN and the local television stations ran stories frequently, it was the social media that made the announcement nearly monumental. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businessmen donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to launch the latest version of the i-Phone, however, to make news and generate reactions. How? Most marketing plans traditionally include public relations, advertising and networking. But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not using social media, you are leaving out a critical element of 21 Century marketing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and you may be barely visible in the online universe. That is not a good scenario. Successfully integrating social media into your marketing is not simply important; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite simply essential. The Fortune 500 companies recognize the power of social media -- but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only at the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Clearly, more and more companies have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and will continue to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; migrate to sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.

If your business doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already participate in several social media programs as an integral part of its marketing, the time to start is now. Explore the sites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see how others use them, and consider the best ones as models. Post news and photos of a recent event. Spread the word about a new hire. LinkIn with your clients and your vendors. Get visible. Social media is the 21st Century radar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when someone says you need to stay on his or her radar, social media can do it. Non-profits have led the charge in embracing the beneďŹ ts of social media. Charities use Facebook fan pages and Twitter feeds to drive trafďŹ c back to their Website, where a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donate Nowâ&#x20AC;? or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Register for this Eventâ&#x20AC;? link can move visitors to immediate action.

Not only was I moody, I gained 40 pounds on that stuff [1].â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prescription medications are behind the counter for a reason, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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].â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I found your article online about thyroid lab tests [3]. It was as if you were writing about me!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;How so?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the longest time, I thought I had a thyroid problem, but the doctors always said my tests were

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;onetest, one-pillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 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].â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deďŹ nitely interested in your treatment approach, but how do

you know what dose to use? The other doctors seem to treat just based on the TSH?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When treating a patient more based upon symptoms than on lab tests, I use an analogy of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;driving a car with a broken speedometer [8]. Imagine the trafďŹ c light turning green and you are about to turn onto the on-ramp of the local interstate highway. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 trafďŹ c. By starting at a low dose, and gradually increasing, we can quickly ďŹ nd the dose that works best for you. Attentive drivers hardly ever need to brake pedal, and by monitoring patients closely (physical exams, EKGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Bone Density (DEXA) scans, etc.), it is rare for my patients to feel side effects [9].â&#x20AC;? Jill did start on thyroid hormone, and by the second dose adjustment, her depression lifted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m no longer the ad you see on TV. My husband thanks you!â&#x20AC;?

21ST CENTURY LEARNING AT ITS BEST…
UNIVERSITY SCHOOL i i STUDENTS LEAD BY EXAMPLE
BY KEVIN LANE
University School of Nova Southeastern University (NSU) has long been known as one of the finest private schools in South Florida, if not the nation. Founded in 1971, University School puts the “college” in college preparatory school. A private, independent, pre-K through 12th grade school located on the campus of NSU, University School is one of a few schools of its kind in the U.S. “This puts University School in a class all its own, with its students – diverse, determined and fully engaged in their education – uniquely poised to excel,” headmaster, Dr. Jerome Chermak explained. One of the most unique facets of a University School experience is their school’s relationship with Nova Southeastern University. Students have access to the NSU library, the largest in the state of Florida, to
94
do research and study. They also have the opportunity to hear NSU professors speak on a variety of topics;
“University School’s unique relationship with NSU flows both ways,” headmaster Chermak said. “NSU undergraduate and graduate students intern at the school, while many University School teachers – 75 percent of whom have advanced degrees – concurrently teach at the graduate level at NSU.” conduct individual research projects with NSU faculty mentors; engage in mock trials with law school students and professors; and much more “University School’s unique relationship with NSU flows both

ways,” headmaster Chermak said. “NSU undergraduate and graduate students intern at the school, while many University School teachers – 75 percent of whom have advanced degrees – concurrently teach at the graduate level at NSU.” Preparing students for the 21st century is a core component for both teachers and students. Students are motivated to excel and teachers in Pre-K through 12th grade “… prepare students to lead in the 21st century.” For more information about University School please call 954262-4506 or visit them online at www. uschool.nova.edu. You can also join them at one of their upcoming open houses on November 7 (PreK – Grade 5) or November 8 (Grades 6-12) at 9:00 a.m. at the Epstein Center for the Arts. Please call to RSVP as space is limited.

Sagemont Basketball Team Plays in Unforgettable Venue Over the years, The Sagemont boys Varsity basketball team has enjoyed playing games in Washington, D.C., Georgia, Arizona, California, Missouri and North Carolina. Now they can add Israel to the list. On September 26th, the team set out on a journey and an experience that cannot be taught in the classroom. The team spent nine days travelling throughout Israel and participating
96
in basketball games as part of the Maccabi Haifa Educational nal Exchange Program. The goal of the trip was to expose the students tto th the cultural and historical relevance of Israel. The trip was the brainchild of Dr. Richard Goldman, co-founder of The Sagemont School. “Having lived in Israel I was aware that youth sports are run by community groups and not by the high schools. I contacted Maccabi Haifa Youth Sports Organization and we discussed the idea of having Sagemont students develop cross cultural experiences with Israeli students. Sports have a history of bringing together diverse cultures.” S a g e m o n t ’ s basketball team is made up of ten Christians, two Muslims and two Jews. Throughout their travels, the students were able to learn about the three different religions. The students travelled in Haifa, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv visiting places such as Yad Vashem-Holocaust Museum, Nazareth, Sea of Galilee, the Western Wall and Baha’i Gardens. They visited an Ahmadi Mosque as well as the Stella Maris Church. They also climbed Masada, a huge desert fortress that overlooks the Dead Sea. When they needed to cool off after that long hike, they took a dip in the Dead Sea. In between sightseeing
NOVEMBER 2012 | LIFESTYLEMAGAZINEGROUP.COM
and learning b t the th Israeli I li culture, lt about they had basketball practice and played in three games. Coach Adam Ross said, “This was more than a basketball trip. It was much bigger than that. Not in my wildest dreams did I think that something like this was possible. Our kids came away from this experience with something positive that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.” The student travelers were required to take pictures and keep a journal to chronicle what they learned. They shared these journals with their classmates upon their return. Junior Joe Kirby said, “After only being in Israel for one day, you could feel how much history was there and how proud the people there were of their country.” Sophomore AJ Jurko said, “Israel was even more beautiful than the pictures we saw before the trip. Every day I was so excited to experience the culture and history. We were so fortunate to go on this trip.” Each student came away from this trip with a better understanding of Israel, its culture and its significance to the rest of the world. Dr. Brent Goldman, President of The Sagemont School said, “This trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity for our students. We are extremely grateful to Haifa Maccabi and the Jewish Federation of Broward County for making this trip possible.” Next year Israel Maccabi students will visit Florida and Sagemont for a similar cultural exchange experience.

Cheer Buddies BY KEVIN LANE
High school senior Alexia Alter has been a Cypress Bay Cheerleader since her Freshman year. She loves being part of the team and getting fans charged up! One day, the thought occurred to her that there were some special needs students at her school who might like to be cheerleaders. One thing led to another and she conceptualized the idea of
creating a cheer program that she called Cypress Bay Cheer Buddies. Even though there were a few hurdles to overcome, with enthusiasm and determination, she transformed her idea into reality and last spring there were six Cheer Buddies! With help from cheerleading coach Erica

We l l s , Alexia is sure the team will grow. h “It was a huge success,”” Alexia said. “The interaction and camaraderie between the Varsity Cheerleaders and the Cheer Buddies was amazing, the performance was unforgettable and the smiles on their faces were priceless.” And OMG, there were a couple of football players who came up to the Cheer Buddies and thanked them for coming out to cheer for them, saying they were excited to have them. While the Cheer Buddies were only able to cheer at a Varsity Basketball game last year, thanks to their awesome exuberance and Alexia’s driving force, they will be cheering at several events this year. In fact, in September they cheered at their first Varsity Football game and will continue cheering at other football and basketball games throughout the year. Adding to the glow of success, Alexia has received several letters from parents of the Cheer Buddies telling her how much

“I want them to know that they fit in with everyone else, and that they are no different.” the experience has meant to their daughters and are looking forward to continuing with the program and seeing it grow. “I have always enjoyed working with others. It is a specialty of mine to make people feel important. My goal in creating the Cheer Buddies was to make kids that have the “special needs label” feel a part of something amazing,” Alexia explained. “I want them to know that they fit in with everyone else, and that they are no different.” “Alexia should be applauded for her patience, acceptance, and vision,” said Lonny Shapiro, head of Exceptional Student Education at Cypress Bay. “There is nothing better in the world then seeing a genuine smile on the face of a child. She has provided that to our students.” LP

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.
