Beauty News A Well-Dressed Woman By Rose Meyerowich, Fashion Show Coordinator Special Pricing for Cialis and Viagra Ask our knowledgeable and friendly staff how you can save $$$$ and be healthier. Service you can’t get at Big Box Stores! TEQUESTA DRUGS AND COMPOUNDING See answer in this paper. The secret of a well-dressed woman is not how much she spends for her fashion whether it’s luxe or ready to wear but how it fits. Even the most expensive outfit can be spoiled by ill-fitting shoulders, gapping blouses, loose shapes, or bulging waistbands. After alterations are the key – a good stylist is the secret weapon. Having a good seamstress or tailor is so important especially after the age of 40, nothing seems to fit right. Not all tailors are the same, so look thoroughly to find one you can work with. Better department stores and especially, your smaller boutiques offer tailoring free of charge. The fit difference can be taking in darts or moving them, letting out waist, tightening seams so a blouse doesn’t gape, adding gussets or pieces of fabric to pants that are too tight. Sleeves can be shortened to a desired length or tapered. Pant legs can be slimmed down if too big – can be shortened or narrowed, or a cuff can be added. Lengthen the crotch by re-cutting the curve even adding fabric. If necessary, seams can be taken in or out and reshaped for a more fitted look. Updating older styles by re-setting shoulders and slimming down sleeves – even restyling knits can be done by an expert tailor.

However, a living revocable trust is a far superior method of transferring property to your heirs. This is a contract wherein a party (the settlor), during his lifetime, establishes rules for the management and distribution of his property upon his incapacitation or death. Any competent adult can establish a living revocable trust, and any competent adult may serve as trustee. The heirs to whom the property in the trust will be distributed are known as the trust beneficiaries. A living revocable trust is established in writing and a trustee is appointed to manage and distribute the property in accordance with the settlor’s detailed instructions. Usually the settlor names himself as trustee of the trust property during his lifetime, with a spouse, friend, relative or financial institution named as a successor trustee upon his death or incapacitation. This allows the settler to continue to manage and control the trust property during his lifetime. Establishing a living revocable trust has substantial advantages over a will, for example: • Avoiding Probate: The biggest advantage of using a living revocable trust is that, unlike a will, it allows an estate to avoid probate. Probate is the process whereby the court oversees the transfer of your property to your heirs (which will be determined for you by state law if you don’t designate them in a will), and can be extremely time-consuming and expensive. It can take between six months and two years for an estate to clear probate, and the fees on a $300,000 estate can be as high as $18,000. A living revocable trust provides an inexpensive way to transfer your assets to your heirs quickly and easily without having to submit to probate. To be continued next month.

Page 10, The Talk Of Tequesta Epicuriosity Sherry One Of The World’s Oldest Wines Is A Treasure That Is Underappreciated In Many Circles By Glenn Sudnick, Certified Sommelier Sherry has a protected Spanish designation of origin status. This fortified wine (a fortified wine is produced by having grape spirit added during the production in order to increase the alcoholic strength, halt fermentation to preserve the sugar content and stabilize) comes from an area of Spain known as the sherry triangle consisting of the three towns of Jerez de la Fronters, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa Maria. There are three grape varieties authorized for production: Palomino, Muscat of Alexandria and Pedro Ximénez. The last two grapes are mainly used for sweetening. Sherry is aged by the Solera system which uses tiers of wine casks that are systematically blended with the more mature wine in the casks below. Sherry comes in different styles. Fino is a crisp, dry Sherry glasses and nutty delicate sherry. Manzaniila comes from the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda and is typically lighter than fino, often with a little salty finish. Amontillado is amber in color with a distinctive nutty flavor that is complex, with a long finish. Palo Cortado is a rare variety of sherry that is much sought after. The production of this rare breed has notes that are a cross Olives of a fino and the nutty richness of an amontillado. The character of this fine wine make it quit expensive. Oloroso sherry is dry and brown-colored. It is a rich nutty style with aromas of raisins. Cream sherry is sweetened with the addition of Muscat or Pedro Ximénez grapes and is more commercially produced. Sherry can be served with an appetizer or dessert. Spain offers great cheeses and salted hams. My favorite cheese is probably the famous Manchego. This cheese is incredible, made from unpasteurized sheep’s milk; it is aged between three months to two years. Normally butterscotch in color it is well developed, creamy with nutty flavors. To compliment this fine cheese I serve thinly sliced Serrano ham, fresh rustic Spanish bread baked with sun-dried tomatoes and an assortment of Manzanilla olives all marinated with oregano, thyme, garlic, orange, lemon and a little rosemary. These are Mediterranean wonders! Wouldn’t it be fun to offer your guest a sherry with all the accompaniments when they arrive at your home?

South Florida encompasses U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) hardiness zones 9 and 10. Finding shadeloving plants for this region can be challenging, but many types of tropical and subtropical plants perform well in south Florida so long as gardeners provide frequent watering. Shade plants offer diverse color and texture, and some varieties display flowers. Shade gardens are a wonderful way to utilize the areas under trees, beside Shade garden design and installed fences and along by Magland foundations. But be sure to choose the right plants for your shady spot. Check your garden’s shade patterns. High tree canopies give partial or dappled shade, while buildings or low trees provide full shade. Some shade loving plants also love the sun, so if your shade shifts, look for plants that adapt, like flax lily. Many shady areas are also dry, so use drought tolerant shade lovers like Devil’s Backbone. Perennials with white or brightly colored flowers or variegated leaves, such as ground orchids, will really stand out. Other shade-loving perennials include ferns, stramantha and gingers, but many more are available. For some color, add caladiums; for flowers, add dragon wing and angel wing begonias. Also for texture bromeliads is the way to go with a large range of varieties. If you use a lot of purple-leaved plants some lime-colored or variegated leaves will provide a nice contrast. Sanchezia has a yellow green variety that could be paired with its purple sister. Spider plant has lots of white foliage and pairs well with Ti plants too like Black Magic, Tricolor Ti, Anti Lou and more. As you near the edge of a tree canopy or shady area you can experiment with plants that need a little more sun. Liriope, variegated arbacola and other mounding grasses make a nice transition to turf at the edge of shade. These areas are also great to create hardscape spaces, pavers or rocks can be installed to use these spaces for recreation adding texture and color. Water features are also a good option creating a nice focal point and adding the calming sound of the water. Please contact me to help you and guide you in your next gardening project. There are lots of options out there it’s just a matter of finding the right one for each space. (561) 745-6756.

The Talk Of Tequesta, Page 13 Health & Wellness Hearing Solutions Why Your Hearing Healthcare Professional Really Matters By Murray Steinfeld, Audioprosthologist Increasingly, hearing aids are being attempted to be sold online through catalogues and directly to the consumer by passing the hearing healthcare professional. Even Hammacher Schlemer, a known gift and gadget retailer is attempting to sell hearing aids as an over the counter product by referring to them as “amplifiers.” Some large insurance companies have attempted to persuade their clients to spend their hard-earned money on hearing products, not necessarily appropriate to their hearing concerns. They are being told that there will be a significant savings if purchased from the insurance company, but the real motivation is not necessarily to the benefit of the patient but in truth it is to the benefit of the insurance company. That is called “Client Retention and Control.” What the client forgets is that they are left without the face-to-face contact anytime needed to tweak the aids or to have an immediate examination if there are any questions as regarding their hearing or how any new medications or illness may be affecting their current hearing. The loss of immediate availability and ongoing care by the locally available audioprosthologist, audiologist or hearing specialist. What happens if there is need for a repair that could be done quickly and easily be done in the office, sometimes while you wait? What happens when a patient is experiencing difficulty for whatever the reason and there is no one locally available to check you, the hearing aids, etc.? What if you have an accumulation of earwax and it is causing problems with your aid and your hearing ability? Will the insurance company send an audioprosthologist, audiologist or hearing specialist to your home with all the proper equipment necessary to diagnose the problem and fix it? The insurance company is looking out for the benefit of the insurance company. They want to be sure the client and the client’s premium will be there ongoing. Truthfully, the client and the client’s problems and their frustrations are very secondary. Here is some factual information for you to consider: 1) On March 28, 2012, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) issued a letter to (HI) Health Innovations, a United Healthcare Insurance Company Division created to influence clients and dispense hearing aids to their clients made by a totally unknown facility. The FDA stated that the company’s online hearing test was in violation of the Federal Food & Drug & Cosmetic Act. In the same letter the FDA ordered the company to take down the test. The letter was written and signed by Steven D. Silverman, director of the Office of Compliance, Center for Devices and Radiological Health and was addressed to Health Innovations CEO Lisa Tseng, M.D. Interestingly, the United Healthcare Division Health Innovations was instructing the client to go to a hearing healthcare person, pay them whatever they ask, be tested and send the results to them and they’ll send you a pair of hearing aids. The rest of the burden is now on your shoulders. But, you’ll save some money. What a desperate way for an insurance company to treat their business and their clients. Now let’s take an honest look at what really matters with your hearing healthcare. Here’s the problem. Although it is true that the by-passing of a licensed and certified hearing healthcare professional, if available, might be an immediate savings of some dollars. But, are you willing or would it be wise to by-pass proper examination, diagnosis, fitting, programming and counseling which I’m sure you’ll agree is a recipe for poor treatment outcomes and the increased risks to your hearing health. There are many potential causes for hearing loss including aging, blockages, ear infections, fistulas, head injuries, medications, Meniere’s disease, noise damage, otosclerosis and tumors. Many cannot be treated with a hearing aid and may require immediate medical intervention. If you consider purchasing your hearing device from other than your hearing healthcare person you may become your own worst enemy. What’s more hearing loss may also result from the improper fitting or programming of hearing instruments. It should also be known that most legitimate hearing aid providers (makers) will not allow their hearing aids to be sold or dispensed without a face-to-face consultation with a licensed practitioner. They recognize the risks of buying and using hearing aids without the proper counseling and fitting that only a licensed hearing healthcare professional can provide. Finally, a hearing aid is not a normal consumer product. It is a medical device. It requires the proper battery of audiological tests, it has to have the right hardware and software and needs to have the correct fit physically for the patient. It must be tuned and configured to the individual and be correctly and physically fit to the impaired individual. Additionally it is to the advantage of the patient to be re-tested annually and the hearing aids they are wearing be updated and corrected to the new audiogram. That is in the best interest of the patient and should be done by their hearing healthcare practitioner. In reality fitting hearing aids is an art that is guided by science and delivered by the experience of a licensed and board certified hearing healthcare professional.

Health & Wellness on page 14 Page 14, The Talk Of Tequesta Health & Wellness from page 13 Speeding Recovering From Surgery By Dan and Liz Brumer, R.Phs., Tequesta Drugs and Compounding Pharmacy A sudden fall. A serious diagnosis. Surgery isn’t always something you can plan for. Even so, you can take steps to make recovery at home a little faster and safer. You just might need to depend on others for extra help. With the benefit of advance planning, of course, do what you can before the day of surgery. Simplify. What felt easy before surgery may suddenly feel a little like mountain climbing. Take a few simple steps now to eliminate steps later. • Stock up on food and other supplies. Buy ready-made meals or prepare and freeze single meals. • Put items you use often within easy reach – between waist and shoulder level. • Make sure your bed is firm enough to support you while you recover. • Stay on the same floor as a nearby bathroom. Or buy a portable commode to put by the bed. • Put a portable or cell phone within easy reach. Keep handy the numbers you will need to call, like the doctor’s office, neighbor, relative and pharmacy. • Place a firm-backed chair in rooms you use most often. • Use a fanny pack to carry items with you around the house. Place the phone inside there, just in case you fall and need to call for help. Ask for help. If not now, when? Remind yourself that most people feel good about helping out. So when someone says, “What can I do?” be specific. You might say something like this: “I need help getting the dog walked twice a week.” “A home-cooked meal tomorrow would be terrific.” “If I give you a list, can you run to the store for me once a week?” Will you need help with basic things like bathing and transportation, but don’t have anyone at home who can help? Ask the doctor, nurse, or social worker how to find trained caregivers. Safe-proof the bathroom. Unless you make a few changes, this room can be downright dangerous. • Consider buying an elevated toilet seat and a shower or bath chair. • Install grab bars vertically or horizontally. Don’t ever use towel racks as grab bars. • Add non-slip suction mats in the tub and a non-skid mat outside the tub. • Place soap and shampoo where you won’t need to reach for it. Remember that you can purchase some of these special items in our store. Prevent falls. Do what you can to remove tripping hazards. Remove loose wires, cords and throw rugs in walkways. Add extra lighting, for example, nightlights to hallways and bathrooms. Keep your hands free when moving from room to room. Practice using crutches, a walker or wheelchair. Also, have someone show you the safe way to go up and down stairs and get in and out of the shower. Follow instructions. After surgery, you’ll likely go home with special instructions on incision care. To prevent infections, make sure you understand how to care for your incision. For example, call the doctor if you see pus or the incision becomes really painful. Also, take medications exactly as prescribed. If you have questions about any of this, remember that we are here to guide you in the proper use of your medications. Remember that pain control can help you get moving, which can speed your healing and help prevent complications. Let your doctor and us know if pain medication isn’t working or is causing side effects. There’s no reason to suffer in silence!
