Q: I provide informa-tion monthly to my clients. While most information is the same for all, there is some unique to each indi-vidual. Any suggestions? I’d prefer to use email.

— JC, of Naples

A: I’m sure you have received “form letters” in the mail that had been “personalized” with infor-mation for you. It seems you could use your Mac software to easily produce email messages for your clients that are personal-ized. Although there are merge email applications, the approaches described below offer more flexibil-ity and pizazz. The ap-plications to be used are: Numbers or Contacts, Pages and Mail.

created that contains your message. It can be refreshed each month and include images, logos, etc. to punch up the final let-ter. The text portion con-tains the information that is common for all clients and “text fields” that will

Two brothers. One sis-ter. A fortune waiting for them. A family divided against itself. Southern gentlemen. Black maids in white uniforms. Grits. El-derberry wine. Beautiful clothes. Beautiful people. Terrible deeds.

Florida Rep explores all this in the fascinating “The Little Foxes.”

The Lillian Hellman play dissects machina-tions of the Hubbard family. The year is 1900; amoral, ambitious broth-ers Ben and Oscar want to

build a cotton mill — and reap the profits that have been going to the Yan-kees. Manipulative sister Regina holds power (or so she thinks) over husband Horace’s fortune — which her brothers need. What

will she sacrifice for a larger share of the profits?

The title comes from an Old Testament verse:

“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines; for our vines have tender grapes.”

Taken as a metaphor, the Hubbard family would be the foxes poisoning both the town and indi-vidual characters with their greed.

The show’s first act, set in Ray Recht’s gen-teel, cream and patterned Southern parlor, features a whiplash of conversations that set the show in mo-tion. Characters flirt, fight, drink and do business. I wish more had been done with this segment, using

Slide open the doors, ignite the outdoor fireplace and let the entertaining begin.

Florida living blends the line be-tween indoors and out with sleek, sophisticated design, and the latest outdoor furniture accomplishes this by offering indoor styling and com-fort with outdoor functionality.

“Fashionable outdoor furniture can create drama in outdoor spaces, which are an essential part of living, so we need to furnish them with as much attention to detail, function and design as we do the rest of our homes,” said Ozzie Pancaro, owner of Casa Italia at Miromar Design

Center. “Italian furniture designer Minotti is unveiling a new Lifescape Collection. The furniture is for use both inside and outside the home. They took their most popular indoor styles and made then 100 percent for

outdoor use.”Maxine Corbett, principal design-

er for Richlin Interiors at Miromar Design Center, said outdoor living spaces play a central role in helping us find both inner and outer peace in our daily lives.

“Whether using your outdoor spaces for socializing or for private refuge, the advent of highly durable synthetic fibers makes the use of your home’s outdoor living area a 365-day-a-year experience,” she said.

That year-round usage can mean some cool evenings. EcoSmart has introduced an outdoor fireplace with a contemporary twist on the tradi-tional fire pit. STIX uses stainless
