The Natural (Vector) Facelift ™ he Natural (Vector) Facelift™ is a method of tightening the face in a manner that gives the most natural and relaxed appearance after surgery. This facelift technique tightens the facial tissue under the skin in multiple directions or vectors. The tissue is then returned to its original more youthful position. The skin is then gently positioned over the naturally arranged tissue layer, resulting in a smooth and supple appearance, not the severe, tightened look often seen in facelift surgery.

The Natural (Vector) Facelift™ is time efficient, taking only a few hours. The tissue is handled with extreme care which minimizes bruising considerably and facilitates prompt healing. The average recovery period is 10-14 days; this allows the sutures to be removed and any negligible swelling or bruising to diminish. Our patients can return to work in 14 days, safely and with confidence. For the most part, only minimal discomfort is ever reported after this procedure because it is done in such a precise and gentle manner. Surgery is performed in a state-of-the-art outpatient Surgery center with specialized nursing staff and post operative care. The Natural Vector Facelift™ is exclusive to The Cosmetic Surgery Institute.

T Dr. Mark Foglietti, Inventor of the Natural Vector Lift™

Benefits with this new procedure... ~ Your friends will not suspect a facelift ~ Natural Vector Facelift™ avoids being pulled too tight ~ You will look like your younger self after surgery ~ Recovery is quicker than the standard facelift surgery ~ Minimal discomfort with the Natural Vector Facelift™

FORGET price. Whether you’re feeling flush or financially strapped, finding the perfect present is always a challenge. The best gift is the one that lights up the recipient’s face when the wrappings fall away; at that moment, it becomes a gift for you, too.

In this issue, we’ve tried to to think outside the gift box when it comes to choosing presents. Maybe an adventure trip is the answer. Perhaps it’s the gift of time with your family, like an afternoon nature walk with your kids, crunching through the last leaves of fall.

Art staff: Reuben LeVine, Shelley Schloss, designers; Marc Golub, photographer Business staff: Diane Adams, Tammie Crawford, Alice Fingerhut

Whatever gift you decide to give this year, make sure it gives you and the recipient a thrill.

Happy Chanukah!

New “pilots” learn the basics of aviation for the first half hour, then take over the controls for the last 30 minutes. If the student pilot’s home is located within an allowable fly-zone, the flight instructor will take him or her for an aerial view of that neighborhood. “There are different emotional reactions to flying,” says Zitt. “The most common one is apprehension, followed by disappointment that they hadn’t done it years ago.”

But flying isn’t for everyone. For people who prefer their adventures on the ground, Kendall Cliffs in Peninsula offers gift certificates for indoor rock climbing. “It’s a way to get people out of their comfort zone,” says manager Marque Garaux. “It’s also a way to give loved ones the gift of health.

recalls Cohen. “He had an incredible sense of style and was always showering my mother with gorgeous gifts, including her magnificent mink coat.”

with it,” she admits. “I’m barely five feet tall, and my mother was at least five inches taller. She looked totally comfortable in dresses and suits, but I live in blue jeans.”

Determined to make the mink her own, Cohen took it to furrier Richard Goldman of Albert Furs. “He literally took the coat apart and put it back together again,” says Cohen. “Richard cleaned and remodeled the pelts and added a hood. It is spectacular, and it reflects me and my lifestyle.”

Every time Cohen puts on the coat, she feels a special bond with

throat,” says Testen. “(My voice) just wouldn’t come out any more, so I just stopped trying.”

After a year of grieving, Testen knew she needed to find a creative outlet. A visit to a local art show near her mother Jeanne’s winter home in Sarasota, Fla., introduced her to dazzling dichroic glass.

Her artistic spark was renewed.

Testen, who credits her father for her artistic sensibility, strives for innovation in the one-of-a-kind pieces she makes.

She peruses Vogue and Bazaar for the latest colors and styles.

“I’ve done jewelry like that,” says Testen, pointing to a model donning a silver necklace with thin spikes lying across her collarbone. “They copied me!” she adds with a laugh.

Testen’s

pieces,

available

through

her

website

www.dichroicdesigns-shaker.com, attract people from all over the world, including a world-renowned author as well as a former Miss America, she says. Her prices range from pendants and earrings starting at $19.95 to upwards of $180 for more elaborate pieces.

She does a great deal of her work in the middle of the night, with favorite television shows or classic movies, especially those

starring Audrey Hepburn, playing in the background.

“At night no one’s interrupting you; the phone isn’t ringing,” Testen explains.

Testen draws inspiration from her favorite artists – especially Impressionists Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas and Vincent van Gogh.

“A lot of the colors that Monet used, wow!” she exclaims.

“The lavenders and the subtle turquoise, and the way he would mix his colors so exquisitely. That’s a lot of what I saw in the dichroic glass: the way the light would hit the glass and the different reflective colors that would come out.”

Testen’s sparkle rivals her jewelry as she bustles around a room filled with carefully displayed pieces. Her conversation jumps from art to classic movies to the music that inspires her, like Rachmaninoff, Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublé.

Her breast cancer bracelets are crafted with pink glass beads, the breast cancer ribbon, and a sterling bead reading either “hope” or “survivor.” All profits go to The Gathering Place. She

also donates pieces to charitable silent auctions.

Testen’s creative spark influences all aspects of her life, from jewelry to spirituality.

“I believe in heaven,” she says. “I believe there’s music and art and color and amazing beauty there.” L

living in the cast The first family of Chagrin Valley Little Theatre sticks together on and off stage by margi herwald zitelli

The curtain has just come down on Chagrin Valley Little Theatre’s (CVLT) anniversary concert of “Guys & Dolls.” After the hugs and congratulations and post-show reception and prop cleanup, Paula Pike and her two grown children, Greta and Andrew Rothman, escort this reporter into the men’s dressing room.

“We shouldn’t be bothered in here,” Paula says confidently. But within moments, several actors and stagehands start poking their heads in, looking for missing items or misplaced friends.

“These guys are like my uncles,” Greta says with a wry grin once the dressing room clears out again. “I’ve known them since I was a kid.”

Greta and Drew grew up in theater, accompanying mother Paula to her various community theater rehearsals and eventually joining her on stage. Now in their 30s, the Rothmans are still coming with mom to rehearsals, but as her co-stars, her publicity director, or in CVLT’s upcoming production of “The Wizard of Oz,” her director and designer.

1 Equipment is important. To properly

whip cream you should use a balloon whisk.

A balloon whisk has more wires and a round end. This design maximizes the amount of air whipped intothe cream, thickening it faster.

2 Put your bowl in the freezer 10-15 minutes

before you are start.

3 Don’t muscle it! Let your wrist do the work

for you. Whisk the cream using your wrist in large circular motions. Getting air into the cream is key!

4 Sweets are last. If you want to flavor your

cream, do it at the end, not the beginning. Try vanilla extract, or an orange flavored liquor in addition to sugar. Use confectioner’s sugar. It won’t give the cream a gritty mouth feel.

Expect quick, smooth acceleration even when just tapping on the gas pedal. The amount of giddy-up is surprising for a vehicle that weights upwards of 5,000 pounds. Fuel economy with the V-6 is an EPA-estimated 14-miles-per-gallon city and 20 highway.

Superb handling is thanks to the Q7’s standard electronic stability control (ESC), which lightly applies the brakes to individual wheels even when the vehicle’s path does not match the driver’s intentions. Indeed, the brakes are almost too sensitive: Drivers will find that there is no need to give the brakes anything more than a light tap at red lights or when navigating turns.

Power steering is speed-sensitive and takes some getting used to when rounding tight corners. Put simply, this vehicle drives lighter than it looks, so just nudging the wheel is enough to make a smooth turn.

Inside, the Q7 will seat five. The driver’s seat is comfortable, and interior surfaces are nicely padded. Gauges are clear and bright, with an information display between the speedometer and tachometer, which cycles through menus via buttons on the steering wheel.

The centerpiece of the interior is the Multi-Media Interface (MMI), a feature common across Audi’s model line. The system includes a central control dial and a dozen buttons to control climate, stereo, navigation systems and more.

MMI takes some time to learn, and it may be smart to practice using the controls in your driveway before taking the car on the road. The position of the interface, next to the gearshift, may require drivers to look away from the road. However, stereo volume and seek functions can be accessed on the steering sheel. Most conveniently, the system also responds to voice commands.

Those searching for a luxury SUV will not be disappointed by the Q7’s winning combination of comfort, style and space. L
