Scott Israel, Broward County Sheriff Candidate

A New Sheriff In Town

Even if your New Year’s resolutions are out the window, there’s still something important you must do in 2012: Vote. In addition to the Presidential election, you must consider the elections here in our own backyard if you're a Broward County resident, like I. Don’t ignore the local elections because these officials will directly affect you.

One election that’s sure to be highly contested in 2012 is the race for Broward County Sheriff. Here’s why you should care: In addition to keeping you safe, the sheriff’s office has more than 6,300 employees and a budget of $700 million. You don’t want to trust that budget to just anyone. You want to trust it to the person who will keep you safe and command the kind of department that puts ethical and fair treatment first and does his best to spend locally.

I’m still deciding who to vote for because I believe it’s important to be an educated and informed citizen, and there is still plenty of time left to evaluate the candidates. That means I’m staying up to date on campaigns via social media (my favorite!), the newspapers and various websites. Whatever your favorite way to get the news, resolve to spend an extra five minutes or so a week catching up too. I’ve come across some interesting and altogether colorful information about one sheriff candidate, Louis Granteed. Read more about it here: Is Broward’s Louis Granteed the Democrat’s Herman Cain? and Broward Sheriff’s Candidate Counseled on Lunch-time Strip-Club Visit. I’m also learning more about Scott Israel at ScottIsraelforSheriff2012.com.  These two guys are running for the Democratic nomination in the election to be held on August 14, and the winner will take on the incumbent Republican Sheriff (Al Lamberti) in November. 

When we both cast our ballots, we’ll know we made the decision that was best for our safety and for our friends and family in Broward County. A person we can trust with our funds and the running of a department that employs thousands. That’s the kind of sheriff you should elect, and that’s the one I’m hoping for too.

 

What Car Repairs and Your Health Have in Common

Finding out you need significant repairs to your car can be like going to the dentist and finding out you need a root canal: The unexpected expense may keep you from getting the repairs, but the problem isn’t going to go away.

But economic times are tough, and Ariel Chmielarz at Autologic, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale has seen an increasing number of people either leave their in-need-of-repair cars parked or drive them to an early death due to lack of needed repairs. That’s when Chmielarz sought to give customers an alternate solution: a 90-day same-as-cash agreement. 

[ Check out the latest Round-Up! ]
If car repairs your bank account may not be able to afford are recommended, you can fill out a quick form, pay a $35 registration fee and find out in 15 minutes if you qualify for a $1,500 line of credit that can be paid off with no interest charged in 90 days.

“Getting your needed repairs means you can drive your car longer and without the fear that it could break down on you,” Chmielarz says. “The 90-day same-as-cash offer helps you get the repairs you need in a more comfortable time frame.”

Three Signs You Have the Right Mechanic

With more than 32 years in business, Chmielarz and the Autologic employees pride themselves on quality service and a commitment to customers. If you aren’t sure your mechanic is offering you the same standards, here are some of his tips for finding a quality repair shop for your car:

• Time-tested. If a shop has survived 10 years or more, it has likely built a customer following that relies on its reputability.

• Clean. While working with cars may be dirty by nature, Chmielarz says it’s important that a shop take pride in its appearance—they’re more likely to offer the same respect to you and your car. 

• Professional. From the way the mechanics are dressed to the way they treat you as a customer. If you are treated with professionalism and respect, you are better able to rely on them.

Ariel’s Autologic offers service and repair for every make and model automobile. Ariel is also in the market for used cars, trucks, motorcycles, and RVs. For more information visit autologicfl.com or call (954) 462-7560.

Moving Forward to Change Your Life

Letting go of past wrongs helped one woman find her romantic soul.

If four months ago, you had told Jennifer Pedrizzetti that she would have moved past life-altering events in her personal and professional life to begin her own business, she probably wouldn’t have believed you.

Today, she does because she found a life coach who made her believe change was possible. She credits the beginning of these transformations to her life coach Fran Asaro, CEO of Thrive Any Way, a life coaching and business consulting company. And last Saturday, Jennifer launched her own company thanks to their sessions.

Letting Go, Moving Forward

Jennifer e-mailed Fran and signed up for 12 weeks of coaching.

“I told Fran that my life was just not where I wanted it to be,” Jennifer said. “We started with goals and values that I had as well as how to move forward past the personal and professional relationships that had been holding me back.” 

These coaching sessions with Fran brought about forgiveness.

“Many of my clients say I am the first person to give them permission to be themselves,” Fran said. “I am not particularly attached to what they do, whether they change what they do or what people think. I am, however, very attached to their joy.”

By helping Jennifer learn to love herself again, an idea for a new business emerged. Through their coaching sessions, Jennifer said that Fran helped her to find a job she could do that doesn’t even feel like work at all.

“Fran ignited the passion in my life, and I realized that you have start with love for yourself before you can share it with others,” Jennifer said.

That’s where the idea for YourRomanticSoul.com was born. Jennifer’s website focuses on everything romantic, from personal relationships to loving yourself. Launched on Saturday, November 19, the website features three chief sections. The first is for love stories, both fictional and true life. Visitors also are invited to share their stories with other readers. The second portion features exclusive articles currently dedicated to romance, including seasonally appropriate suggestions for date-night ideas and romantic getaways.

[ You May Be Beneficiary of a Lost Policy and not Even Know It! ]
The final section is a members-only access site where members can receive weekly newsletters and even a customized service where you can write a love letter to yourself or a loved one. The letter is then sent to a calligrapher and presented on specialized paper or finished with a wax seal. Each month will offer a different love letter style; from scrolls to a puzzle your loved one can assemble. The site doesn’t feature advertisements, so Jennifer hopes it will be a place where visitors can enjoy and re-kindle their own romantic relationships.

From Stuck to Unstoppable

If you are ready to change your own life, make the business dream in your mind a reality or move on from life challenges, Fran can help you thrive in the way that’s best for you. Call her for an appointment at (954) 370-8001 or e-mail her at fran@thriveanyway.com. For more information on the ways Fran can help you, visit www.thriveanyway.com.

Your Business Can’t Afford Not to “Tweet"

Six years ago if you asked someone to “follow” you, it was most likely because you were leading them to their table at a restaurant. Thanks to Twitter, “Following” someone is as easy as clicking on their name, and you get 140-character or less updates about them daily…or by the hour…or seemingly by the minute.

“Twitter can be a divisive thing—I know many people who tell me they they just don't get it,” says Marnie Goldberg, Social Medium and Twitter Goddess at Amplification, Inc. “Twitter is designed to be simple and skipping out on the opportunities Twitter can provide your business keeps you from maximizing your business’ potential.” 

Marnie

Users generate more than 200 million Tweets a day, according to The Wall Street Journal. What this means to most businesses is if you aren’t capitalizing on Twitter, you are missing out on a powerful opportunity to get your messages across. 
Twitter’s power is that it uses short messages to provide readers an enticing preview of what is to come on a website or a tight and succinct statement. In fact, some financial companies pay as much as $40 million per year on Twitter research that then informs financial decisions.

 “Underestimating the power of social media in 2012 would be a drastic mistake for a business to make,” says Kalia Garrido, co-founder of www.locallyrooted.com, a website dedicated to community conscious shopping. “Using Twitter allows us to get our messages out virally—we have the potential to reach the friends of our friends and their friends. It’s a seemingly unlimited audience just waiting to be tapped.” 

LocallyRooted.com

Social media-based businesses like Amplification,Inc. have capitalized on the seemingly unlimited influence of the Twitter feed.

“We work with our clients to target and constantly calibrate what messages they need relayed,” Goldberg says. “From sales to promotions to specific products to simply wishing customers a good day, we’re able to keep a Twitter feed active so followers start to eagerly anticipate the next announcement.”
A robust messaging tempo also helps attract new followers, which in turn gives your message more traction, reach, and greater influence. 

Decoding Twitter

While Twitter (technically a micro-blogging site) was invented to be a simpler alternative to social media giants such as MySpace and Facebook, it’s unique language and vocabulary can be understandably intimidating. According to Goldberg, you can make Twitter work for your business in a three-step process.

1. Head to Twitter.com and sign up. You’ll be asked to choose a name, such as @ClubCabeza and upload your company’s logo or any relevant photo that helps followers identify your business.

2. Start pushing out your messages. Goldberg recommends having a Twitter strategy as part of a larger content strategy. Deciding what message you want to convey within the 140-character Twitter parameters and when those tweets should deploy can be a bit overwhelming. Amplification, Inc. can assist you with developing your message and deploying your tweets throughout the day.

3. Build your followers to drive traffic. Obtaining a good amount of Twitter followers takes time and work. Once you have identified your target audience, following them isn’t enough. You have to make your account social and speak to your followers so that you avoid becoming “noise,” which means what you’re sharing must be of high quality and credible. Get it right, and Twitter can and will drive traffic to your website.

“People today are busy, but they typically have time to read a 140-character or less message about your business,” Goldberg says. “By capitalizing on this audience who needs quick, usable information and providing links to your site, followers have everything they need to buy and/or support your business.”

A Little Help From Your Friends

Another aspect of what Amplification, Inc. does is build Twitter followers for an organization.

“When it comes to social media, reputation is everything, and Amplification, Inc. has worked to build its reputation,” says Steve Cabeza, of Amplification, Inc. “When we add a client to the Amplification family, that client is linking in to our well-established and time-earned reputation as a provider of quality content and useful information.”

Garrido agrees.

“Our Twitter traffic has improved drastically since we became involved with Amplification, Inc.,” she says. “They basically took our unused Twitter account and built it up to a following of almost 1K users, and it’s growing every day.”

Amplification, Inc.'s extended and growing social network includes many content aggregators that will take the information we send out and re-tweet (re-posting, forwarding, sharing) those tweets, which enlivens an even larger audience. One such content aggregator is Tonya Scholz, a South Florida-based communications consultant and broadcaster on www.kNOw-aging.com (@kNOwAging on Twitter). 

“I want to be a trusted source for information and part of the way I accomplish this is by assimilating people’s information on Twitter,” says Scholz, whose followers include The NewYork Post. “Twitter is all about creating influence. It’s like an introduction that allows you to then build a deeper business relationship offline.”

If you’re not ready to stick your toe in the Twitter waters just yet, Amplification, Inc. can help.

“Marnie and Steve at Amplification, Inc. have truly become valued members of our marketing team—we rely on them to handle our social media so that we can focus on what we do best: running our business,” Garrido says.

Adventure Travel at the Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel

While a visit to a tourist destination has its place and time, thrill seekers or “adventure” travel opportunities are on the rise. You’re an adventure traveler if you’ve ever wanted to immerse yourself in the beauty of the Costa Rican rainforest, without too many camera-toting tourists or tiki bars.

Nestled in the Northern Costa Rican rainforest is the Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel, a boutique hotel that’s as friendly to adventure travelers as it is to romantic relaxers. With 26 casitas, the hotel aims to create an authentic Costa Rican experience, just 100 miles north of San Jose.

[ Crossfit Much? ]

Hotel guest Nima R. from Mountain View, Calif., stayed at the Rio Celeste in November 2011 where she hiked to the waterfalls and immersed herself in the secluded hot water pools.

“The path to the waterfalls is one that starts out with open spaces and leads into dense forest with rainforest canopy,” she said. “The waterfall is pretty impressive, with its huge volume of water coming down every minute.”

When her thrill-seeking hike was over, the hotel provided a place for rainforest relaxation.

“The furniture at the hotel gives the guests the feeling of being in the tropics,” she said. “The ambiance and the service are superlative.”

Rainforests, Waterfalls, Hot Springs

To see Costa Rica the way it was meant to be seen, location is everything. Adventure-seeker Alex Ramos and her boyfriend chose the Rio Celeste Hotel because of its close proximity to the Tenorio Volcano National Park. The Rio Celeste is nestled right at the entrance of the national park, which features four volcanic peaks, two craters and the aquamarine Rio Celeste, or Light Blue River where hikers can travel along.

“We absolutely loved visiting the park for a great hike to see the volcano, river, falls and hot springs,” Alex said. “Lots of birds to see was a bonus.”

[ Sow Some Karma! ] 

But even a thrill-seeker like Alex takes a break every once in a while—she said she found relaxation at the Rio Celeste.

“To exist in the rainforest and experience its tranquil ambiance within the hotel compound, even from our casita with the French doors open throughout the night as we slept, was out-of-this world breathtaking,” she said.

To find out more about how adventure-seekers enjoy the Rio Celeste, check out this video or visit their TripAdvisor page where guests have ranked the Rio Celeste the No. 1 hotel in the region.

The Perfect Fit for CrossFit

Steve Bowser

To have the outdoor space for running and the interior space for gymnastic rings and hanging ropes, Steve Bowser knew he was going to need plenty of room for his CrossFit facility. At 595 Corporate Park of Commerce, he found a 4,000-square foot space he and his trainers could call home—and put people through the challenging workouts CrossFit is famous for.

“Our location is right off the 595 corridor, so we loved the convenience for our clients when we were looking for new gym space,” said Bowser, who is the owner and program director of the CrossFit Affliction facility. “It’s been our location for three years, and the management company and owners keep it incredibly clean, neat and organized.”

[ Desk Job = Damaged Back ] 

At its core, CrossFit is a strength and conditioning program designed for everyone—the gym even offers classes for those ages 6 to 12. The space is a weightlifter’s dream, filled with power racks, kettlebells, rowing machines, medicine balls and Prowler sleds. For exercisers considering giving CrossFit a try, Bowser recommends calling their location and making an appointment. CrossFit offers introductory sessions to walk exercisers through techniques and common exercise movements so exercisers can start their first class feeling comfortable and safe.

Finding Your Space

Like Bowser and the CrossFit facility, businesses can find the space to fit their needs, from showroom and warehouse spaces ranging from 2,000 to more than 30,000 square feet of space.

[ Broward County Real Estate Heats Up ] 

“In business, location is everything—and we feel like we have the best location in town in an area that’s only going to expand,” said Robert Lechter, managing member with the REMS Group, who developed the 42-acre 595 Corporate Park of Commerce. “The Corporate Park of Commerce was built to be a complex that fit a business’ aesthetic needs, not to mention how convenient and highly visible it is from the interstate.” Check out the video tour. 

You’ll Get Hooked

Bowser’s gym has the term “affliction” in the title because that’s the kind of dedication CrossFit trainees have. When clients catch the affliction, they keep coming back to get fit.

“We have a broad base of clientele, from the grandparent who would like to lift her grandchild a little easier to the cage fighter that trains for a televised bout,” Bowser said. “The best part about CrossFit is that people see results so quickly. You’re never going to get bored.”

Costa Rica Rainforest Relaxation

Rio Celeste River

Less-Traveled Costa Rica 

Think you’ve seen all there is to see in Costa Rica? Think again. The Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel offers luxurious accommodations in a Costa Rican area that’s off the beaten track.

Located in Guatuso, Costa Rica, just 100 miles north of San Jose, the hotel is a short drive from the Liberia, Guanacaste, airport. Situated in the lush, Costa Rican tropical rainforest, the boutique hotel features 26 casitas with the amenities of home, such as flat-screen televisions and Jacuzzi tubs, coupled with the experiences you could only get at the Rio Celeste, such as a balcony that opens out to the rainforest, with its brightly colored birds and flowering plants. 

[ Social Karma ]

The Rio Celeste’s walking distance to Tenorio Volcano National Park attracted guest Alex Ramos, to travel from Sacramento, Calif., to the Rio Celeste. It is from this park where the Rio Celeste takes its name—the Rio Celeste River is a breathtaking shade of blue derived from the sulfur of the nearby Tenorio Volcano. Check out the video.

While Ramos classifies herself as the kind of traveler that loves to be on the go all the time, at the Rio Celeste, she found a place where she felt she could truly relax.

“I absolutely loved visiting the park for a great hike to see the volcano, river, falls and hot springs,” Alex said. “At Rio Celeste, I just wanted to hang out on the casita balcony or any part of the hotel and relax.”

In addition to the reach-out-and-touch-it scenery, Alex was impressed with the hotel service—the staff even baked a cake especially for her boyfriend’s birthday.

An Authentic Experience

The desire to find a less-discovered portion of Costa Rica also attracted George S. and his wife from Oceanport, New Jersey, to the Rio Celeste.

“My wife and I have traveled all over Costa Rica, and we wanted to try somewhere different, so we thought we would see the Tenorio Volcano area and the blue Rio Celeste,” George said.

[ Desk Job = Damaged Back ]

During their December 2011 stay, the couple hiked the Rio Celeste River for hours, taking in the sites and enjoying the wildlife bird-watching opportunities.

“This part of Costa Rica is really different from all other parts of the country that we have seen and had very few tourists,” George said. “We went on a drive that took us through many farm areas where they grow pineapple, papaya and many other things. It was all just beautiful.”

What Better Women's Care Looks Like!

In a world obsessed with quantity over quality, the office of Dr. Andrew Krinsky is a breath of fresh air. The minute you walk in, you’re welcomed by an environment that is attentive to a woman’s entire well-being. A luxurious waiting room complete with relaxing background music, soothing images of nature, and the calming scent of vanilla are just a few ways you know this is not your average gynecology practice. 

[ Desk Job = A Damaged Back ]

“People often don’t look at a woman as a whole person and instead focus on treating the surface symptoms,” Dr. Krinsky says. “There are many facets in a woman’s life that might lead to her not feeling well. Understanding what is going on has a great effect on getting to the basis of her health issues and providing meaningful, useful care with a focus on wellness and preventing health issues.”

Holistic and Traditional

Having performed his medical residency at Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut, and maintaining status as a Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FACOG), Dr. Krinsky has a firm grasp on traditional Western medical practices. However, he doesn’t let his traditional medical training prevent him from having a fuller view of women’s health.

“I’m open to what other cultures have been doing for centuries and have found effective,” Dr. Krinsky says. This provides Dr. Krinsky’s patients with a unique approach to their care that combines holistic and traditional medicine.

[ Refinance NOW! ] 


Who comes to Dr. Krinsky for gynecologic care? Women of all walks of life from ages 15 to 105 in need of a yearly exam, cancer screening, breast health or contraception assistance, nutrition or exercise advice, or issues with menopause. They’re housewives, physician’s wives, fellow physicians, grandmothers, mothers, daughters, working professionals, and students. They have one goal: More complete health in a boutique setting.

“Going to the gynecologist isn’t always the most relaxing experience, so we do everything we can to make it more comfortable for them,” Dr. Krinsky says. “We treat our patients like people, and they appreciate it.”

[ Are you Afflicted? ] 


Above and Beyond 

Along with typical health services, women who turn to Dr. Krinsky have immediate access to an impressive array of auxiliary services. Whether you need a pelvic ultrasound or advanced skin care, you can get it in a medically monitored setting.

“We really want to help women enjoy life and maintain the highest level of functioning and quality of life,” Dr. Krinsky says. “One way we do this is by listening to what our patients want out of their healthcare experience and finding ways to provide it.”

[ Some Social Karma! ] 


By offering diagnostic testing (osteoporosis, ovarian cancer, bladder issues, and others) Dr. Krinsky makes it possible for women to avoid getting lost in the medical system. Tests are performed and read right inside Dr. Krinsky’s office, and all results are discussed with the patient either in person or over the phone, allowing women to have any questions or concerns addressed immediately.

Dr. Krinsky’s services also recently expanded to skin care treatment.

“As women age, they begin to experience a lack of hormones, and their skin can show the effects of that,” Dr. Krinsky explains. To combat this, a certified licensed aesthetician performs facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and skin resurfacing. Ladies who want to get rid of unwanted hair on their bikini line or elsewhere can take care of it at Dr. Krinsky’s as well, via laser removal.


[ Rainforest Relaxation? ] 


Mohel Services 

Dr. Krinsky also travels to homes, synagogues, and other locations as a mohel to perform ceremonial circumcision for Jewish families. Whereas there are a number of physicians and laypersons who are mohels, very few are surgically trained like Dr. K.

“This is a stressful time for new mothers, their hormones are still raging from the delivery of their new baby,” Dr. Krinsky says. “Having a medical doctor who is a surgeon and can offer medically based advice, topical anesthetic for the baby, and who is religiously trained to perform the entire ceremony puts everyone at ease.”

[ Your Coming Caregiving Battle! ] 


As a certified mohel, Dr. Krinsky carries out the entire Bris ceremony. He performs various readings, offers prayers in celebration of the new baby’s birth, circumcises the child, pronounces Hebrew blessings upon the child, helps the parents choose a Hebrew name for the child, and performs the naming ceremony of the new child.

“People often come to a Bris and don’t understand the meaning and don’t participate. I go to extra lengths to explain the traditions and rituals,” Dr. Krinsky says, “and my services encourages and includes readings by everyone in attendance.”

[ Florida's Gold Coast ] 


The result is a meaningful experience for family and friends, regardless of their religious preference. Like the rest of Dr. Krinsky’s services, his mohel practice offers comprehensive personal care, attention to detail, and a professional yet comfortable feel.
