How to Dress Yourself for the Occasion

There are many ways to dress for a dinner party, depending on the level of formality. The best way to find out how formal you should dress is to ask the host or hostess directly. This will overcome any confusion you may have. For a very formal party, it is a good idea to wear a gown for the women, and a tuxedo or suit for the men. For a more casual party, it is a good idea to dress as if you were going into an interview.
dinner party etiquette 3 How to Dress Yourself for the Occasion

Dos and Don’ts:

  • Do: Make sure to RSVP to the dinner party as promptly as you are able to.
  • Don’t: Unless the host says it is permissible, don’t bring anyone along other than your +1
  • Do: When you arrive, step into the ladies room to straighten up your make up, or straighten up your tie, depending on your gender.
  • Don’t: When you arrive, try not to be loud and attention seeking. Instead, float about the room gracefully and try to say hello to those you know.
Following these simple tips and advice will have you the belle of the ball and the gentlemen of the night.

When you are a good guest at a dinner party, it is sure to get you invited back to future events.

Fresh Florida Lobster – Captain Fuge’s Lobster Shack


1 MG 0147 300x241 Fresh Florida Lobster   Captain Fuges Lobster Shack

Lantana, Florida

Captain Fuge has been a fisherman for over 30 years off the coast of South Florida. He started his Lobster business many years ago and is now joined with his two sons, David and Bruce. Together, they now sell their catch of Fresh Florida Spiny Lobster and Florida Stone Crab Claws directly to the public at the Lobster Shack located in Lantana Florida at the docks at Murrelles Marine.

1 MG 0855 Fresh Florida Lobster   Captain Fuges Lobster Shack Capt. Fuge Hickman and his two sons, Bruce and David, work 6 days a week, pulling their traps to collect Florida Spiny Lobster every morning. No one has fresher lobster for sale in South Florida and at $7 per pound, it’s a real deal. You will need to call for pricing of the Stone Crab Claws.
Last year, after having a really tough market, Capt Fuge decided to sell directly to the public. Now, people just show up when he gets back to the docks to buy his catch – You can’t buy any fresher lobster and at such a low price.

Capt Fuge and his two sons are there almost every day during lobster season, except for Sundays, that runs from August through April. They leave almost every morning from the docks at 5 a.m., head out to sea, pull their traps and they get back to the docks around 2:00-2:30 p.m daily.   They unload the catch and sell what was caught. Then clean up the boats and get ready for the next day. It is hard work, but rewarding.

1 MG 0836 600 Fresh Florida Lobster   Captain Fuges Lobster Shack
The Crusader
Capt Fuge also catches fish that turn up in his traps. Large Lion Fish, Trigger fish, Snapper, Hogfish and other eatable fish from time to time. On Saturdays, Capt Fuge is always cooking something, watching football and the day turns into a small party.

Capt. Fuge sells live and frozen lobster tails, but when I see him I buy the frozen, because he freezes the tails immediately and they have never tasted like they were ever frozen. I do not mind the 40 minute drive, because it is well worth the trip for the best tasting seafood from our South Florida waters.

On my recent trip to the Lobster Shack, Capt Fuge & his boys were carrying fresh frozen lobster tails, stone crab claws, and told me they will soon start selling Jumbo sized shrimp (when available). Call him be fore you head over – 561-756-2030  - it’s only about 50 min up 95 to Lantana Road from Ft Lauderdale – well worth the trip. He is there in the afternoon – I usually call first. Tell him you saw Lee’s article – it should make him smile.

From Captain Fuge:
“Our hours are still 2 to 5:30 daily except sun,,,,,,You can call me on da boat at 561-756-2030 to order or reserve lobsters.I also would like to say thank-you to the local community for embracing our shack and supporting us. Even if ya don’t like lobster come down bring some beer and well talk some story…….{Coors light in da bottle only]……Capt Fuge and da boys “

When you turn at the Murrelle’s Marine Sign – drive all the way to the dock and look for the thatched roof – You will find Captain Fuge.

Solar Swimming Pool Heaters by Broward Solar


Naturally, many of us might not go near the pool during the winter months, even if the pool is heated. The air temperature is just too cold for pleasant swimming much of the time. On the other hand, Florida’s typical winter weather pattern—alternating cold fronts and mild temperatures—means there can be periodic three to five day stretches of pleasant weather here even during the winter.

If you own a Pool – Solar Pool Heaters Make Good Financial Sense
“A solar pool heater could pay for itself quite quickly. One homeowner told us … that while living in Florida he spent about $200 a month heating his pool and Jacuzzi. He took the plunge and bought a solar pool heater … and after two years it paid for itself.”

A Solar Water Heating System can eliminate about one third of your annual electric bill.  Solar energy is predictable and socially responsible.  Solar Pool Heating Systems produce no pollution and are the most economical and environmentally friendly way to heat your swimming pool.



Broward Solar knows that not just one type of solar heating system is right for every situation.  We have years of hands on experience to know which technologies and systems are practical and which tend to be troublesome. So contact us today for a free proposal!

Panama vs Costa Rica – Where to Purchase Real Estate

When you think about living full or part time in Central America, Costa Rica seems to be the first country that comes to mind. Having spent a fair amount of time in both Costa Rica and Panama, I may be able to offer a somewhat unique perspective when comparing the two countries. While both countries are similar in many respects, there are some major differences that you should be aware of.

First of all, there are many similarities. Both Panama and Costa Rica have mountains, oceans, beaches, volcanoes, tropical rain forests, zip line and eco tours, hot springs and exotic wildlife. Both countries have more residents who speak English in the bigger cities, while very little English is spoken in the more remote areas. Both countries have similar temperate climates, and both are quite beautiful. I honestly can’t think of a single good thing about Costa Rica that you can’t also find in Panama.

Now let’s talk about the differences, and they are significant:

Retiree incentives:  Panama rolls out the red carpet for retirees, with one of the best benefit programs in the world (http://www.panamainfo.com/en/benefits-foreign-retirees). Retirees can enjoy steeps discounts of up to 50% on everything from hotels and airfare to entertainment and healthcare. Costa Rica has no such program – retirees are not offered a single benefit, discount, or incentive of any kind.

For this reason alone, it amazes me that anybody would retire to Costa Rica. I have to assume that the only people moving to Costa Rica are the ones who simply have not done their research.

Roads: Costa Rica is famous for its bad roads, and they are terrible. Some of the main roads are so bad that they are nearly impassable. Panama’s main roads are all paved and relatively pothole-free .President Martinelli has made a major road building commitment throughout the country, which has already resulted in an even better road system.

Cost of goods: Panama is a big winner here. Thanks to the Panama Canal and its huge port, manufactured goods are much less expensive in Panama. Household appliances, electronics, building materials, almost everything is more expensive in Costa Rica. I haven’t had any experience buying cars in Costa Rica, but I’ve heard from reliable sources that Costa Rica has a huge tax on automobiles that I know for a fact Panama doesn’t have. Apparently a $20,000 car in Panama would cost around $35,000 in Costa Rica.

Currency: Again, Panama comes out ahead. The official currency in Panama is the Balboa, which is tied directly to the U.S. dollar. The paper money (one dollar bill and up) is all U.S. currency, and there is no exchange rate. The currency in Costa Rica is the colon, and exchange rates fluctuate on a regular basis. You need to constantly change your U.S. money into colones, bring a calculator everywhere you go, and always be aware of locals trying to take advantage of you. Financial transactions of any kind are much easier in Panama.

Capital Cities: When you fly into San Jose, Costa Rica, it feels like you’ve landed in a third world ghetto, but when you fly into Panama City you feel like you’ve arrived to a modern, cosmopolitan metropolis. It’s really about that simple – the difference between the two cities is staggering. San Jose is a dirty, dangerous place with about four street signs in the entire city. Panama City has dozens of gleaming new skyscrapers and is in an obvious phase of progressive expansion. One reason that Panama City is light years ahead of San Jose is the fact that the U.S. was actively involved in the Canal until 1999, so the infrastructure is surprisingly modern. It’s not a coincidence that a Trump Tower is going up in Panama City, but not in San Jose.

On a side note, I have found the people in Panama City to be much friendlier and more helpful than those in San Jose.

Crime: No contest here; Costa Rica has a much higher rate of crime. Armed robberies, carjackings and other violent crimes occur far more frequently in Costa Rica. In 2007 the U.S. State Department designated Costa Rica as a “high crime rate country” for tourists. While these crimes do occur in Panama, the incidence is much lower and they occur primarily in the Canal Zone, between Panama City and Colon. I’ve been living part time in Santiago (three hours west of Panama City) for over two years, and nobody I’ve talked to has ever heard of a murder, armed robbery, or even a mugging. I’ve left tools and work boots outside of my house for weeks at a time, and I’ve never had anything stolen. This would be unheard of in Costa Rica, where theft is a common, everyday occurrence.
https://www.osac.gov/Pages/ContentReportDetails.aspx?cid=12155

Real Estate: Let’s save the best for last; you can purchase land in Panama for a fraction of what it would cost you in Costa Rica. For example, the same five acre mini ranch with ocean views and riverfront that I’m selling in Panama for around $90,000 would cost more than $500,000 in Costa Rica. Land in Costa Rica is roughly five times more expensive than comparable land in Panama.

Another big difference between the countries involves squatters. In Costa Rica if you buy land and squatters move onto it, in three months they actually have legal rights to your property, and protracted legal action is required to get rid of them. Incredible, but true. In Panama, squatters have no legal rights of any kind. If you buy land in Panama, leave it alone for ten years, and upon your return people are living on it, you can have them removed immediately.

Having spent about half of my time in Panama over the last two years, I was initially puzzled by the fact that the interior of the country is so far behind Costa Rica in terms of real estate development. It is a vastly superior country to Costa Rica (for the aforementioned reasons), and when I started inquiring as why this was the case I kept getting back a one word response – “Noriega.” Up until 1990, when he was forcefully removed from power, Noriega had a stranglehold on the country, and he allowed very little development from outside investors. That was only 20 years ago, and Panama has been catching up ever since.

There are some popular, well developed places in Panama. Panama City itself (as well as the entire Canal Zone), Valle de Anton, and Boquete are probably the better known areas. They all have large “gringo” communities, and prime land is often well in excess of $100/meter squared (the way land is measured in Panama).

In my opinion, by far the best area in Panama in terms of future growth potential is the western slope of the Azuero peninsula. Located on the Pacific side of Panama about three hours from Panama City, there is a new (completed four years ago) paved road that runs the entire length of the coastline, ending at the Cerro Hoya National Park. The land is beautiful, the views are outstanding, and it is very early in the development cycle. At present there are no large projects in the area, but there will be. I believe that marinas, hotels, large housing projects, etc will all happen in the next several years.

One can look at Ocean Ridge Estates to get a feel for the low prices that are available in the area. I have 16 mini ranches between 3 and 12 acres, most of which have riverfront and ocean views. The purchase price of $5.00/meter squared includes water, electric, a road to each lot, and full title, as well as any assistance needed in the building of a house. This is one of the best values in Panama, if not the best.

I think the facts speak for themselves. If you visit both countries you’ll find out for yourself that Panama is far superior to Costa Rica for many reasons. Do your research, and you should come to the conclusion that Ocean Ridge Estates on the Azuero peninsula is one of the best values in the entire country of Panama.

South Florida Concrete Countertops by Eco Simplista


Several brilliant companies now offer environmentally responsible surfaces. Consider recycled tile countertops, bamboo counters, concrete countertops. All present attractive and viable alternatives to conventional countertops.

These options are also available for bathrooms, mantels, custom cabinetry, etc.

Poured Concrete - natural organic materials with modern techniques
Comprised entirely of cement, sand, and binders, concrete is a warm natural looking material. Along with color pigments and various aggregates we can give concrete the look, texture, and feel of quarried stone, such as marble, granite, and limestone. However unlike the others, concrete is an incredibly versatile material, able to be formed into complex shapes and designs, taking on character of its own. Our surface can be pre-cast in out shop or built on site, so that the product can be formed to your particular needs.

We bring to our concrete work the skills of a trained artisan and the creativity and the heart of an artist. Each piece is unique and an exclusively hand-crafted design, made completely from scratch. Making them “one of a kind” works of art, only limited by your imagination. Within our designs, Concrete involves and comes to life.

ALKEMI - recycled surface material composed of post-industrial scrap waste
Made from fine flake aluminum milling scrap—which commonly burns up as a heavy smoke pollutant when exposed to conventional aluminum recycling—ALKEMI leaves no hazardous footprint.

Available in a variety of colors and surface treatments (Textured & Classic and Honed), ALKEMI may be fabricated and installed using standard solid surface fabrication methods. Strong, durable and exquisite to the eye, ALKEMI offers a brilliant, sustainable alternative to the stagnant commercial options, such as solid surface, plastic laminate, stone and glass.

These sustainable countertop options have some great green features in common:

    * Eco-friendly materials
    * Low-VOC or VOC-free in materials, installation, and maintenance
    * High recycled content
    * Hypoallergenic and antibacterial
    * Durable

ZeeVee HD/SD encoders and RF modulators


ZeeVee products convert video sources such as digital signage players, satellite receivers or any other content and turns them into digital cable channels so they can be broadcast over existing coax infrastructure and received directly by any off-the-shelf HDTV. 

There are two product lines - the HDbridge, which is designed especially for retransmitting satellite or cable content as a tier of digital channels over in-house coax, and ZvBox - used for adding digital signage and smaller deployments.   HDbridge features a rack chassis, ethernet management and higher output power, while ZvBox is easily used on a standalone basis.   Products from each line can be combined together in a deployment.

South Florida Concrete Countertops by Eco Simplista


Several brilliant companies now offer environmentally responsible surfaces. Consider recycled tile countertops, bamboo counters, concrete countertops. All present attractive and viable alternatives to conventional countertops.

These options are also available for bathrooms, mantels, custom cabinetry, etc.

Poured Concrete - natural organic materials with modern techniques
Comprised entirely of cement, sand, and binders, concrete is a warm natural looking material. Along with color pigments and various aggregates we can give concrete the look, texture, and feel of quarried stone, such as marble, granite, and limestone. However unlike the others, concrete is an incredibly versatile material, able to be formed into complex shapes and designs, taking on character of its own. Our surface can be pre-cast in out shop or built on site, so that the product can be formed to your particular needs.

We bring to our concrete work the skills of a trained artisan and the creativity and the heart of an artist. Each piece is unique and an exclusively hand-crafted design, made completely from scratch. Making them “one of a kind” works of art, only limited by your imagination. Within our designs, Concrete involves and comes to life.

ALKEMI - recycled surface material composed of post-industrial scrap waste
Made from fine flake aluminum milling scrap—which commonly burns up as a heavy smoke pollutant when exposed to conventional aluminum recycling—ALKEMI leaves no hazardous footprint.

Available in a variety of colors and surface treatments (Textured & Classic and Honed), ALKEMI may be fabricated and installed using standard solid surface fabrication methods. Strong, durable and exquisite to the eye, ALKEMI offers a brilliant, sustainable alternative to the stagnant commercial options, such as solid surface, plastic laminate, stone and glass.

These sustainable countertop options have some great green features in common:

    * Eco-friendly materials
    * Low-VOC or VOC-free in materials, installation, and maintenance
    * High recycled content
    * Hypoallergenic and antibacterial
    * Durable

Call Today to find out how we can help you select the right countertop for you.

How We Select Our Products
When selecting which products we are going to carry we use the following criteria:

Performance - Does it perform as well as or better than similar products? We test all products before bringing them into Eco Simplista to sell to our customers.
Health - Is it healthier and safer for us and the environment than similar traditional products?
Cost - Is it a reasonably priced solution for our customers?
Use - Would we personally use it in our workplace or home? Only after we are satisfied that a product successfully meets all the above requirements do we offer the product to our customers.

Knowledgeable product support
Almost all of the big-box stores are offering items that are labeled “green” but often times the sales person has little or no knowledge of the product, how to use it or what makes it better than another product. Everything that we offer in our store not only have we asked the manufacturer what steps it has taken to make the product less toxic; but in addition we have tested it ourselves!
