Recent indications finally point to things be-ginning to improve for our beloved city and the world as a whole. After a very brisk beginning, weather-wise, the warming sun-shine has finally arrived, bringing with it the climate each of us is accustomed to here in sunny Florida. Also, the unprecedented stock market gains over the past year have given much cause for celebration, evidenced by the healthy influx of tourists patroniz-ing our retail businesses and bringing much needed revenue to our fair city. Now, we need to see our local economy pick up and the best news here would be to know that the credit markets have begun to relax and financing for operational and new job growth continues to strengthen.
In this issue, we present two new and beau-tiful ‘Beach Fashion’ photo shoots by Mi-ami’s fabulous Kristin and Atlanta’s famous Shamayim, as well as our ‘Celebrity Soup’ article featuring “The Top 10 Hot & Not So Hot Celeb Bods” and “Celebrity Yo-Yo Diets”. Also, please check out our new res-taurant section enhanced by our close rela-tionship with American Express.
For the calendar-conscious subscribers in the crowd, April 1 begins our annual cam-paign to attract new and renewal subscrib-ers, who are eligible to win the special $1000 reward offered. Finally, due to the many re-quests from our left-handed readers, for the first time, we are announcing a new version of our magazine subtitled: “Southpaws of Style.” ‘S.O.S.’ wishes to satisfy those of our readers who are ‘lefties’ and who have diffi-culty enjoying our publication to the fullest, so we have decided to produce a version rotated 180 degrees, to accommodate our left handed friends and readers. Please ask for it in bookstores or email us at [email protected], to acquire a copy.

Celebrity Yo-Yo Dieters
By: Varinia Pereira
Read more at: StyleToMe.com
> Kirstie Alley is on the top of the list. At the height of her acting career, she was the hot and sexy woman who wooed the heart of many of Hollywood’s leading men. It seems the last ten years have been a diet war. In 2004, she decided to try and get it under control and signed on as the spokes-woman for Jenny Craig. For two years she followed the plan and lost seventy-five pounds, displaying her new figure on Oprah and inspiring millions of women. Unfortu-nately in 2009 she was at her all-time heavi-est and vowed to lose 70 pounds again. To chronicle her latest venture to lose weight, A&E is following her and documenting ev-ery food choice, exercise and battle of the bulge. The series, “Kirstie Alley’s Big Life” is on Sundays at 10 p.m.
Speaking of Oprah, this billionaire is an-other celeb famous for the Yo-Yo diet. Her battle of the bulge began in the 80s, 1988 to be exact, when she wheeled a cartload of all the fat she lost and showed off her new svelte figure in a tiny pair of Calvin Klein jeans. Over the next 11 years, Oprah’s weight went up and down while she went from one fad diet to another – she even tried hard-core exercising and finished numerous marathons. However in 2007 she revealed that a thyroid disor-der had caused her weight gain. In 2009 she opened up to readers in “O Magazine” about her endless struggle with weight and she confesses she is back to 200 pounds and says, “I’m mad at myself.”

Jessica Simpson has always been a curvier singer, known for her sexy attributes. But controversy over her figure erupted when photos surfaced of Jessica in ‘mom’ jeans looking much larger than she did when she was a size 2 and wore daisy dukes in Dukes of Hazzard. She has been between a size 2 and size 12; depending on the various diet or fitness regimes she is on. Jessica has been seen recently looking fit and firm again and ready for her next endeavors due to a sim-ple plan of daily exercise.
Janet Jackson was known in the 90s for her rock hard six-pack abs and muscular danc-er’s body, but she has struggled to maintain her signature look. When she first hit the music scene, she was a wide-eyed and chub-by-cheeked young girl, but when her video came out for “Love Will Never Do Without You,” she looked hot. In recent years she put on about 70 pounds for a movie role that fell through and then lost the weight again, proclaiming that the secret to her trademark abs was simply eating less and exercising.
The last Yo-Yo dieter is known for her love of junk food. She can be seen slyly pulling through the McDonald’s drive-thru or car-rying a bag of Cheetos from the local 7-11. Who doesn’t love a little junk food though? Britney Spears began her career at the vul-nerable age of 15. From that time, she has been scrutinized for her body’s ups and downs. Going from a young and naturally thin girl, to being a super hot and toned young woman, and then gaining and losing depending on her life struggles. Everyone saw her struggle with weight when a notice-ably chubbier Britney donned a belly-baring outfit for her performance at the MTV Mu-sic Awards in 2007. In 2010 Britney got back onto her treadmill, hired a personal trainer and has been seen looking as toned and fabulous as ever. <

The Hot & Not So Hot Celeb Bods
By: Leah DieterRead more at: StyleToMe.com
> Break out that bikini and tanning lotion! Summer is officially on its way and there are some seriously hot celebs who we very much look forward to seeing bare it all (well, almost anyway) this summer at the beach. These celebs have some of the hottest, most idolized bodies in the world and no one, not even Jack Frost, can cool them down. Don’t get me wrong, these celebrities work hard for their beautiful bods; we’re just very, very thankful that we get to admire the fruit of their labors. Of course, not every single celeb is heartbreakingly gorgeous; there are those select few that have obviously let themselves go. So, for your viewing pleasure and of course, displeasure, here are some of the best, and worst, celebrity beach bodies.
Jessica Biel This hottie, formerly best known as Mary, the oldest daughter of Reverend Camden on the WB’s hit show, “7th Heaven”, rose to the status of a sex icon in a matter of years. Today Biel has one of the most admired bodies in Hollywood. She was named sexiest woman alive in 2005 by Esquire Magazine, and was number 11 on Maxim’s Top 100 for 2009.
Gisele Bündchen After rocking the Victoria’s Secret runway for seven years, this Brazilian bombshell
has chosen to settle down with hubby Tom Brady and their
baby, Benjamin. Even after giving birth to baby Ben, Gisele still has one of the most gorgeous bodies on earth.
Jessica Alba A beautiful Cali-born actress, Jessica Alba is the fantasy of many men. After her breakout role as Max Guevara on Fox’s Dark Angel, Alba has been near unstoppable. She’s appeared in countless movies, been on Maxim’s Hot 100 list multiple times, and is currently the newest face of Revlon. Jessica and her husband, Cash Warren, were mar-ried in May of 2008 and gave birth to their baby girl, Honor Marie, a month later. I think it’s safe to say that mother-hood never looked better.Mario Lopez
This former “Saved by the Bell” hunk has been stealing the hearts of millions of women all around the world for years. If his amazingly chiseled physique doesn’t make you swoon, take a look at that lusciously thick hair, or his ador-able dimples...pretty much every aspect of Mario screams HOT!
Matthew McConaughey A notorious stud and ladies man, Matthew McConaughey easily has one of the best looking bod-ies in Hollywood. Could it be his ripped pecs, defined abs or bulging arms that make women everywhere go crazy? Or could it be his oh-so-subtle sexy Tex-as accent? Definitely all of the above!
Best : )

Kevin “K-Fed” FederlineRemember that buff, attractive guy Britney Spears married, had two kids with, and
then divorced? Yeah, this is him! It’s hard to believe that K-Fed has transformed into this severely overweight man right before our eyes. Perhaps it was his com-plete abomination of a music career that sent him off the deep end…who knows. The one thing we do know is that K-Fed certainly put on more than he can chew.
Nicole RichieIf there were an award for thinnest celebrity, Nicole Richie would be the top contender. It seems as if we’ve watched her waste away over the course of the past few years and quite frankly, it’s disturbing. Some-one needs to tell her that although skin is in, bones aren’t, and she needs to put some weight on.
Carrot TopFrom funny to frightening…that’s the only way to describe Carrot Top. Known for his quirky red hair and hilarious antics, this fun-
ny man seems to be playing a joke on us all, only this time, it involves his body.
The bulging muscles and taut face, hmm… I wonder what he’s been up to? What ever it is, instead of looking better, he looks straight up freaky.
Keira KnightleyThis “Pirates of the Caribbean” star looks as if she’s been stranded on the ship for a little too long. Though she has always been on the slender side, Keira has dwin-dled down to just skin and bones. We can only hope that she’ll eat a few cheeseburgers while here in
the States to put some meat on, but until then, enjoy your view of a
literal walking skeleton.
Kim Cattrall“Sex in the City”... maybe ... But there certainly is no sex on the beach hap-pening for Kim Cattrall. Her dimpled body and the oh-so-unflattering bath-ing suit combine to make this star look quite unappealing. Maybe Kim should stick to her character’s city-slicker wardrobe and let the bathing suits go back into the closet for a while.<

Dr. Deborah Harding takes healthy living to a new level with her
state-of-the-art techniques and innovative treatment plans.
A New Kind of Living Well
> With striking features and stunning fig-
ure, it’s no surprise that Dr. Deborah Hard-
ing specializes in anti-aging medicine. Her
long blonde hair, bright eyes and fantastic
wardrobe belie her actual age—which we
won’t divulge—but suffice to say, Dr. Hard-
ing practices what she preaches.
Dr. Harding’s 25-plus years of experience
have given her a chance to reevaluate how
to practice medicine and how to prevent –
not just diagnose – those ailments that age
us. She then began working on cutting edge
treatments to literally slow down the body’s
natural aging process. “We’re not talking
creams and injections here, we’re talking
about internal medicine,” says Dr. Harding,
though she is also licensed in those treat-
ments as well. “That’s just the icing on the
cake. My focus is what we can do on the
inside to slow the aging process.”
She started her practice as an internist and
then moved on to studying sleep. “No one
was really into sleep at that point, and I re-
ally found that our brains are more meta-
bolically active than when we’re awake. Our
brains are defragging and our bodies are
styletome.com
healing themselves while we sleep,” she re-
marks. “Our bodies secrete the most hor-
mones while we sleep.
That’s what fixes the things in our body that
might be out of sorts. People who secrete
normal amounts of hormones live 5-10
years longer, according to many medical
studies.” Thus, Dr. Harding says, if a person
has a hard time sleeping, it follows that their
body would have a harder time repairing
itself because less hormones would be re-
leased, leading to the kinds of ailments re-
lated to aging.
“No one else is doing this in the area at
the moment. Our practice is really setting
the bar for anti-aging medicine in Central
Florida,” says Dr. Harding. Advances in tech-
nology in the past ten years have helped Dr.
Harding in her practice by providing her
with new and innovative techniques to treat
her patients based on factors critical to
their health and the aging process. “This is
not just about living longer, either. It’s about
living longer well,” she says.
Her real passion goes much deeper—far
underneath the skin. “I want to make a real
and lasting difference in my patients’ lives,
and we practice medicine that will do just
that from the inside out,” says Dr. Harding.
She explains that in the DNA sequence,
there are certain areas that determine
a person’s true age. Simply, the theories
behind her treatments are that if she can
pinpoint the reasons why someone’s body
reacts in a certain way as they age (diabetes,
heart disease, dementia and other age-re-
lated ailments), she can fix those particular
problems and, in essence, reverse the aging
process.
When a new patient comes to Dr. Hard-
ing’s practice, he or she spends a half-day
or full day undergoing a series of evalua-
tions—a total body evaluation. Some of
the things she measures: bone density, body
mass composition, antioxidant levels, me-
tabolism and comprehensive blood work
that measures things like insulin and high
levels of homocysteine—the amino acid re-
lated to higher instance of heart disease and
stroke—among others.
“We also measure a resting metabolic rate.
This helps determine how many calories
someone can eat and still lose weight. Most
of our patients need to lose a few pounds,”
says Dr. Harding. “According to many stud-
ies,” she adds, “the number one thing that
slows the aging process is caloric restric-
tion. Not just eating less, though, eating
fewer calories and more nutrients.”
Dr. Harding not only measures her patients
for ‘normal’ levels of important vitamins,
organic compounds and body composition,
she works to have her patients reach ‘opti-
mal’ levels of health. “If a patient is deficient
in vitamin D, which helps the body absorb
calcium and lowers the risk of cancer, we’ll
suggest that they receive shots or other
treatments to reach optimal levels of vita-
min D.”
“These tests and evaluations help us to help
our patients protect their DNA. We help
them protect the thing that makes their
bodies function correctly,” says Dr. Harding.
“We measure things in the practice every
day where we look at a person from every
aspect we can to try and figure out what
we can do to protect their body from the
negative effects of aging.”
One of the reasons she left traditional
medicine was because she was tired of tell-
ing people bad news. The wonderful thing
about Dr. Deborah Harding’s practice is that
now she gets to tell people the good news.
She comments, “I love telling people that
these ailments are preventable, that we can
help them live a healthier, better life.” Dr.
Harding is a great role model: an athlete, an
intellectual and a beautiful woman. Her life
is the model of what she preaches—better
living through better health.<

> Looking for an energetic way to ex-ercise during the hot summer months but don’t want to be stuck inside a stuffy gym? Take it to the pool! Exercising in the pool provides you with the benefits of a difficult workout due to the water’s natural resis-tance, while simultaneously keeping your body cooled down. Pool exercises are also terrific for people with arthritis and other joint issues, because it’s not as harsh on your body as high impact exercises such as running or jogging on hard surfaces, lifting weights and high impact aerobics. The pool is also versatile; you can use it to do cardio exercises, and/or resistance training to tone your muscles. For a nice cardio warm-up, try swimming laps for a few minutes. If you’re not com-pletely comfortable with doing laps, try walking or running in place in shoulder deep water for at least twenty minutes.
For a simple glute workout…kick, kick, kick! You can hold onto the side of the pool or use a kickboard; either way, get those legs moving! An exercise that works both the glutes and hips is a simple squat. While holding onto the edge of the pool, arms
fully extended in front of you, slowly bend your legs until you are in a sitting position. Make sure you keep your knees from going over your toes and keep your back nice and straight. Then raise yourself up slowly to a standing position, and repeat. Start with one set of 15 repetitions and work your-self up to 2, then 3 sets when you feel your body is no longer being challenged.
For a triple threat workout, which works your back, shoulders, and arms, try doing pull-ups on the side of the pool. Grasp the side and lower your body as far as possible while keeping your knees bent. Then pull yourself back up again, and repeat. Again, start with one set of 15 repetitions and work yourself up to 2, then 3 sets when you feel your body is no longer being chal-lenged.
The most important things to keep in mind while doing these exercises are to be con-sistent and have good form. Always keep your back straight and abs taut to ensure the best, and safest, result-oriented work-out. And most importantly…have fun! <

> Getting bangs is a quick way to up-date your ‘do, but remember that maintain-ing your new fringe takes time and money. Bangs need to be trimmed every two to three weeks, depending on their shape. Mini bangs, for example, will need more frequent trimmings while long, layered bangs allow for more time between visits to your favor-ite salon.
Curly haired girls aren’t immune to the al-lure of bangs, nor should they be. The key is to sport long, angled bangs with those curly locks. Then, use a blow dryer and a round brush to lengthen bangs without flattening them out.
And for those who want to get bangs but can’t bear to commit, try Warren Tricomi’s Instant Bangs, clip in bang extensions made of 100% human hair and available in 14 shades (although bangs can also be custom-ized by your colorist to perfectly match your hair hue). Get ‘em for $250 at War-renTricomi.com.

If your go-to hairstyle happens to be your only style, you’ll love this easy to replicate ‘do from celebrity stylist Sam Brocato. Bro-cato created messy yet modern side pony-tails for the NIMA Fall 2010 NYFW show, and gave me step by step instructions for making the model-perfect hair seen on the runway a reality.
First Brocato and his crew used large bar-rel curling irons to curl hair in sections. Next, they created a chic hair knot and set it with Brocato’s Moveable Hold Hair Spray ($12.95 at local salons.)
“The hair knot was achieved by pulling the hair from the back of the right ear diago-nally across to the left nape where it was put in a small elastic for control,” explained Brocato.
“From a deep right side part, the entire front left section of the hair was draped over the left ear and into the back nape area where it was wrapped around the first pony tail beginning to create the folded look to the shape. Finally, the hair that was left out in front of the right ear was brushed back creating a very close flat effect. This remaining hair was put into the pony tail and bobby pinned in place for the final ef-fect,” said Brocato.
WiLD ChiLD
At NYFW, the models at Tibi and Tracy Re-ese wore wild, untamed bedhead ‘dos that boasted ringlets, waves and the like.
If you’ve got natural curly hair, the look is easy to achieve: just finger comb hair and allow curls to air dry. It’s essential to use a high-quality styling product, such as Mo-roccan Oil Intense Curl Cream (available at local salons). This curl cream defines curls while setting your style of choice; enhancing shine and hydrating traditionally dry curly locks. But even those with pin straight hair can get the look without a perm in sight. Start by applying mousse to damp hair; I like Brocato’s Swell Volume Full Body Gel Mousse. Next, to attain volume at the root, allow hair to air dry while pinned on top of your head and then, using two different sized curling irons, curl the hair in sections, randomly alternating curling irons to cre-ate curls of different widths throughout the hair.
The final look is carefree and confident, an of-the-moment style for women willing to put in the time to go beyond the typical dai-ly ‘dos. After all, looking like you just rolled out of bed takes a lot of work! <

The buzz in beauty circles is all about Sculptra, a great new product just approved by the FDA for cosmetic use.
Sculptra offers a brand new approach to anti-aging and is capturing unprecedented media attention.
My patients love this new weapon in the anti-aging battle, because it targets the underlying causes of the signs of facial aging. The results aren’t instant, but they last longer than anything currently on the market. It can give you noticeable results that emerge subtly and can last for up to two years or more.
Sculptra is an injectable, but not a filler. It is injected into areas of the face that need extra volume, but it’s a very different product than ones that have been on the market until now.
It works by replacing lost collagen. This resulting reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually re-stores the look of fullness of your shallow-to-deep facial wrinkles and folds that have depleted over time.
The collagen beneath the skin is a key element that provides volume and gives shape to your face. At about age 30, col-lagen begins to break down, leaving wrinkles, lines and folds that worsen with time.
SculptraAesthetic contains poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA. It has been used for many years in dissolvable stitches and medical implants, so it will not harm your body.
Most patients have a series of three injection sessions over a few months. The time between injection sessions gives the product enough time to work so your treatments can be fine-tuned.
LOOK FABULOUS

Eat Lightning & Scream ThunderMeet The 2010 Koenigsegg Agera
AGERA WAS CREATED TO MAINTAIN KOENIGSEGG’S
POSITION AS ONE OF THE MOST ENGAGING AND
TOP PERFORMING CARS ON THE ROAD, ON THE
TRACK, AND ON THE PLANET.
> Koenigsegg celebrate 15 years of mak-ing dream cars, by unleashing their latest jewel - the Koenigsegg Agera. A new super-car aimed to take the Koenigsegg experi-ence to the next level, both on the road and the track.
Agera, the Swedish verb “to act”, has been chosen as the name for Koenigsegg’s latest super creation, as it symbolizes the Koenig-segg philosophy well. Koenigsegg is always striving forward, seeking challenges beyond limitations. The new supercar Agera is an outcome of that creative process and its functions respond very well to the given name.
The Koenigsegg Agera is a testament to time. The original shape and concept of the Koenigsegg CC, created 15 years ago, is still valid, fresh and highly competitive today. The Agera stays true to the original philosophy, shape and size of the original CC. At the same time, it looks, feels and performs like something belonging to the future, with all new content.
Thanks to optimized breathing and Twin Turbo, power is now 910 hp, running on reg-ular gas. Torque is maximum 1100 nm and is reached at 5100 rpm. There is over 1000 nm of torque available from 2680 to 6100 rpm. The Agera also features the latest in brake technology, incorporating an adjustable ABS system, 392x36 and 380x34 ventilated and drilled ceramic discs, for unparalleled brak-ing performance and zero fade regardless of track or road condition.
The new traction control is the fastest re-acting in the industry, with auto adapt func-
tionality for different road conditions and driving styles as well as several manual set-tings.
Koenigsegg has also developed a new type of interior illumination, which is the world’s frst in the car industry - Ghost light. The il-lumination shines through the billet alumin-ium buttons and surfaces by way of invisible nanotubes, creating excellent visibility of the symbols, as well as a very clean and stylish appearance, framed by an all-new carbon fi-bre centre console and tunnel assembly.
Furthermore, the driver can easily select the information he wants displayed in front of him, on the all new multi-info cluster combined with the upgraded infotainment display, ranging from basic functionality, to G force meter, power meters, Sat-nav, mu-sic, lap-timer or compasses - to best suit the current driving conditions, be it highway cruising, touring country roads, city naviga-tion or serious track driving. Furthermore the interior features the new Agera stitch-ing and seams, which gives a beautiful fluid-ity to the interior.
All in all, the Agera is created to maintain Koenigsegg’s position as one of the most engaging and top performing cars on the road, on the track, and on the planet. Still, maintaining the largest luggage space in the industry and the novel Koenigsegg doors and detachable/stowable hardtop, that really makes all Koenigsegg cars stand out. <

> A pearl is created by three unique ele-ments coming together to produce a beauti-ful jewel: nature, time and an expert human hand. The private Laucala Island Resort is that luxurious pearl, set amid a lush tropical coconut plantation. The man-made struc-tures create a seamless transition to feel at one with nature. Each luxurious villa is designed to take full advantage of the best elements of the island. From a breathtaking 360 degree view from the Hilltop Villa to the naturally carved rock pool in the Overwater Villa, painstaking efforts were considered to not only take full advantage of what nature has provided, but to enhance it.
Based on traditional Fijian building tech-niques, the resort utilizes local donga, ma-hogany, Fijian vesi timber, thatch and stone to create sculptural forms that enhance the space that they create. The result is a flawless transition between the untouched beauty of the island, and the luxurious pri-vate villas, lounges and restaurants. using nature as a guide, many aspects of the vil-las have taken full advantage of natural rock formations to create the most unusual set-tings. Dining areas have been transformed from magical locations formed by nature to innovative spaces of true wonderment.
All villas have private pools surrounded with generous landscaping. Wooden decks, rocks
and daybeds create a tropical outdoor liv-ing paradise with the pool as a focal point. Gardens and villas are illuminated at night by the traditional ceremonial lighting of the Tiki torches. utilizing the latest in technology, there are flat panel TV’s, surround sound and entertainment iPod stations. A complete bar setup with daily canapés throughout the day, including a health bar featuring island fruit juices and freshly pressed coconut milk are a standard amenity and inclusive throughout all villas. Indoor and outdoor bathrooms are generously sized with multiple tubs and showers. Each villa provides an open-air massage pavilion and a complete outdoor dining service area. Spacious dressing rooms and varied lighting options throughout the villas allow guests to create the perfect en-vironment for every mood.
• Plantation Villas are located within the old plantation with private beaches.
• Sea Grass villas are located in the tropical jungle with the sea grass bay.
• Plateau Villas are situated on the Nawi hill overlooking the ocean.
Peninsula Residence offers total privacy and is nestled into the headland with an uninter-rupted ocean view. Babylonian style hanging walkways lead you to your relaxation and
dining rooms. Arrive by sea or land; this res-idence is equipped with its own boat landing. A secluded private beach with a single palm is set in the peninsula cove. The pool has been naturally carved over time into volca-nic rock.
Overwater Residence captures the sounds of the soothing ocean, built out over the sea where you can watch the tides come and go. Swim out from your private deck or stay back and admire the colorful coral surrounding you. You can literally feel the rhythm of the South Pacific beneath while floating on a daybed.
Hilltop Residence is a resort within itself with a main residence and two guest villas. All are secluded at the highest point of Lau-cala lending itself to a sweeping 360-degree view over the turquoise waters and show-casing uninterrupted sunrise and sunset vis-tas.
The natural beauty of the island’s pristine beaches, lush coconut groves, jungle peaks and rocky coves, exotic flora and fauna, make Laucala Island an extraordinary resort The vision to develop the creative use of landscape, incorporating style, luxury and privacy, bring Laucala to an environmental-ly seductive peak: the perfect example of imagination and nature working together.

> Often, a person ar-rested for a crime feels compelled to explain what they did or did not do to the law enforcement of-ficers that are arresting them. This compulsion is usually based on a mistak-en belief that if they co-operate they may receive a more lenient sentence
or may not be charged all together. Other times it is because the person arrested is not aware that they have the right to re-fuse to talk to the law enforcement officers. The old saying that the “truth will set you free” could not be further from the truth most times when a person speaks to law enforcement officers about a crime they are suspected of. There are many times law en-forcement officers do arrest people based on extremely weak evidence that is other-wise insufficient to convict the person at trial. By speaking, the police hope that they will obtain a confession, obtain informa-tion they otherwise couldn’t obtain or seek inconsistencies with the statement when compared to others.
It is not unheard of for an innocent per-son arrested to confess to a crime they did not commit due to pressure from the law enforcement officers during an interview. The law also allows law enforcement to use tricks or deception, within reason, in order to obtain a confession. Also, people make mistakes out of simple nervousness when speaking with the police. They may make a good faith error when giving facts and then be perceived as lying. Police are just human and they may simply misunderstand or be confused as to the story they receive and jump to the wrong conclusion. The list is ongoing as to why one rarely benefits by speaking without an attorney to the police.
The Fifth Amendment to the united States Constitution guarantees the right against self-incrimination to every person that is ar-rested. This specifically means that a person arrested has the absolute right not to talk to law enforcement officers about the crime they are suspected of. In fact, law enforce-ment officers are required to inform every person they arrest of this right by read-ing them their Miranda Warnings, prior to questioning them. The Miranda Warnings also require the law enforcement officers to inform a person arrested that they have the right to talk to a lawyer before being ques-tioned and have a lawyer present during any questioning. If a person invokes their right to remain silent, all questioning must cease. Similarly, if one invokes their right to an at-torney, all questioning must cease. The fact that someone chooses to remain silent or requests an attorney before speaking can-not be used or brought up against the per-son in Court.
Any person arrested or suspected of com-mitting a crime should talk to an experi-enced criminal defense attorney prior to deciding whether to talk to law enforce-ment. Most times, an attorney would advice a client not to speak to law enforcement if they are arrested. However, each situa-tion is different and there may be times that speaking to law enforcement officers with an attorney present may ensure that crimi-nal charges are not filed.<

In April and May, the region presents four of its unique events — the 19th Annual Florida Film Festival, The Stellar Awards Mother’s Day Gospel Music Festival, The Florida Music Festival and the 19th An-nual Orlando International Fringe Festival, as well as numerous other arts and cultural events that occur throughout the year. The 19th Florida Film Festival has evolved into a mighty juggernaut, celebrating both independent and international filmmaking. The 2010 edition is taking place April 9 – 18 with the theme of Home Sweet Home, features 160 films representing 30 coun-tries. Past celebrity attendees represent a who’s-who of global cinema, including Glenn Close, Anthony Bourdain, Malcolm McDow-ell and John Waters.

The 23,000 festival guests provide a significant economic impact to local area businesses, something that is especially ap-preciated as we rebuild our local economy.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the Stellar Awards brings the inaugural Stellar Awards Mother’s Day Gospel Music Festi-val to Orlando. Happening May 7 – 9, the Stellar Awards is the first and only gospel music awards show in the country, honor-ing gospel music artists, writers, and indus-try professionals for their contributions to the gospel music industry.

3Three agents, three minds combined with several years of experience make up one powerful combination. The LR Team of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty is one of Central Florida’s fast paced and cutting edge real estate teams.
Daniel Natoli, Carolyn Burgiel and Darren Iozia are the three components that make up the LR Team. All with various backgrounds and sharing the same passion for the real estate industry, the team is dedicated to their clients and their goals.
Daniel Natoli, who has lived in the Central Florida area for over 15 years, brings to the closing table years of appraisal experience and also has a wealth of knowledge in the funding business. In addition, he has also worked with developers on long term projects. “I love the world of real estate, there’s so much to it. Working with sellers, buyers and developers is very satisfying,” he said. Carolyn Burgiel, who was raised in the Boston area and has now lived in Central Florida for several years, is the team’s key to building and maintaining relationships with clients. “Real estate is a people-friendly industry, I love hosting and attending events

> Move over Miami, New York City and LA. While you might be the poster chil-dren for being the ultimate cities, Orlando doesn’t fall short. With events in fashion, the arts, music, and even community politics, this city knows how to throw an affair.
We all got to celebrate in February during Harbor Nights Romantico, which was held at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando. Locals and tourists were decked out and looked tres chic! Sampling gourmet delicacies including food from BICE RISTORANTE and enjoying complimentary hand-rolled cigars and live jazz.
March kept us on our toes - kicking off with Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer welcoming Al-lie Braswell as the new CEO of the Met-ropolitan Orlando Urban League. Tastings - A Wine Experience located in the heart of downtown, hosted the event along with the Downtown Development Board. And just down the road from Tastings, the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center housed the innovative and highly acclaimed Russian National Orchestra in what was a phe-nomenal and inspiring performance. Pianist phenomenon, Yuja Wang, joined the RNO and added a layer of perfection and “fear-less imagination.” The event was organized by the non-profit organization the Festival of Orchestras.
Orlando Fashion emerged at the 2010 Ms./Mrs. Corporate America Pageant held at the Orange County Convention Center’s Linda Chapin Theater. Jorge Cruz, from Gu-cci of Mall at Millenia, co-hosted this year’s pageant. Celebrity judges such as Mablean Emphraim from Divorce Court and VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club was present as well as Orlando’s very own NFL NY Giants player Darcy Johnson. Winner of BET’s Sunday Best Y’Anna Crawley performed a rivet-ing solo that captivated all guests.
Robb & Stucky Interiors and Neiman Mar-cus hosted an event where we got to see the unveiling of their newest trend-setting Showcase Rooms, which combine today’s fashion “energy” with the unparalleled style of Robb & Stucky. Remember that show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? The once star from that show, Thom Filicia, contin-ues to share his fashion wisdom as the host of Style Network’s Dress My Nest and was part of the festivities as the celebrity guest designer who shared his raw vision and
signed his book Thom Filicia Style. A benefit raffle supporting Femmes de Coeur and The Foundation for Foster Children was held during the event as well.
And who could afford to miss the Art of Fashion event held at Neiman Marcus–this storewide event celebrated the remarkable visions and breathtaking designs at the fore-front of modern fashion. Representatives from David Meister and Robert Graham were on hand to show off the latest with an informal but ‘hot’ fashion show! We were also treated to the bronzing bar, eyelash and color bar, fragrance bar, hand massages and an impressive Bvlgari Trunk Show, while nib-bling and imbibing on some great cuisine and wines from the area’s top restaurants.
And for you fashionistas out there, you might have learned about some new trends during the 48th Annual Morning Star School Auxiliary Fashion Show, gala luncheon and silent auction held at Ros-en Shingle Creek Resort, but in case you missed it, you’re in luck. The Prime Outlets of Orlando teamed up with celebrity fash-ion guru James Aguiar with Spring Essentials and host of the award winning shows Full Frontal Fashion and Style Court to find out the top five trends of the new season. Aguiar suggests sticking with ravishing ruffles, neu-tral colors, peek-a-boo pieces, a great spring satchel and short skirts that are right above the knee–keeping you flirty, fun and totally in style. And at Prime Outlets, you can find just the look at an affordable price.
Oh Yes–ALOHA FRIDAY! It was time to celebrate the end of the work week and welcome the weekend! We put on our fa-vorite Hawaiian dress/shirt and got ready to party. We enjoyed great food from the re-sort restaurants, including Emeril’s Tchoup Chop, plus tropical drinks, beer, wine and live music by Skyline 407, performing funk, dance, R&B, classic rock and beach and is-land favorites!
So, if you’re busy schedule allows for you to attend a few of Orlando’s great events this month, do it in style! <

Blackbird Vineyards
Read more at: StyleToMe.com
> From Screaming Eagle to Harlan Es-tates, Napa Valley is undoubtedly an in-ternational standard bearer for Cabernet Sauvignons. With the designation of Napa’s fourteenth American Viticultural Area (AVA) less than two years ago, Oak Knoll is now well poised to bring forth the prominence and elegance of Merlot from this region. Similar to the Pomerol region of Bordeaux, Oak Knoll is indigenously akin in its profile as a district with its soil composition, mi-croclimate, as well as its rural, rustic quali-ties. Merlot based wines of Pomerol have historically challenged the first growths of Bordeaux, a forbearer to Oak Knoll’s fu-ture. Perched to seize the day as Oak Knoll’s foremost Merlot is Blackbird Vineyards, lo-cated in the heart of the Oak Knoll District. Since 1999, this former walnut orchard, first planted with 5717 vines two years earlier, has quietly provided fruit to many of Napa’s finest winemakers, for whom it has yielded astonishing reviews and stellar scores. Pur-chased by entrepreneur Michael Polenske in 2003, who recognized its potential, Black-bird Vineyards is now an ultra premium label in its own right. (Fittingly, ‘merlot’ is French patois for ‘little blackbird.’)
As artisans, the Blackbird team’s goal is to create beautifully handcrafted wines that embody the best of what the Oak Knoll terroir has to offer. As Michael Polenske puts it, “Our promise is to offer a wine that represents our personal integrity and to maximize the natural advantage we have with a vineyard of truly unique character.”
Try one of these excellent wines:
2007 ILLUSTRATION NAPA VALLEY PRO-PRIETARY RED WINE $90
The 2007 Illustration reveals a dense nose of plum, cherry, and mulberry with hints of iris, mint and tobacco weaved through-out. Elegant flavors of red currant, coffee, licorice and tobacco deliver on the palate, offering soft texture, velvety tannins, with great complexity and length. Illustration is optimal to drink after decanting or can be laid down to develop further with time in the bottle.
2007 ARISE NAPA VALLEY PROPRIETARY RED WINE $50
The 2007 Arise reflects an aromatic nose of rhubarb, cherry, and wild raspberries. The approachable, yet dense palate is dominat-ed by red fruits, plum, and enticing smoky-savory notes. An inviting wine in its youth, Arise offers fine-grained tannins combined with impressive structure and balance. Drinking well upon release, Arise will also age beautifully with time in the cellar.
2007 PARAMOUR NAPA VALLEY PROPRIETARY RED WINE $90
The 2007 Paramour presents a generous nose of juicy, sour cherry, blueberry, tobac-co and cedar. On the expressive palate, dark fruit characters meld with notes of choco-late and subtle mint. This wine offers great texture, soft tannins, and impressive balance which carry on to the polished, lingering fin-ish. Paramour is ideal for drinking beyond the next decade.<

> ‘Dimmed lighting, the rising sound and beat of music, a belly dancer making her entrance into the dining room casually sa-shaying with a display of torches aflame’; it’s now 7:00 p.m. and the entertainment is just beginning at ‘Taverna Opa’. This authentic Greek restaurant offers nothing short of an exquisite night on the town filled with deli-cious food, remarkable entertainment and nonstop fun.
Located on Orlando’s famous strip, Interna-tional Drive, this spot will intrigue you from the moment you walk in the door. From the detailed old world décor to the upbeat mix of Greek and contemporary music, the spirited atmosphere will make you feel like celebrating, with great food and a long list
of Greek wines. Although its emphasis is on having fun, ‘Taverna Opa’ selections are pre-pared from traditional Greek recipes; every single dish is authentic, of the highest quality and served in plentiful portions.
We began our evening with a traditional ap-petizer, Saganaki, a Greek cheese, uniquely displayed tableside with a server’s shout of “Opa” followed by an exciting pyrotechnic flaming presentation accompanied by the aromatic pleasures of heated Metaxa bran-dy being wafted about. Soon thereafter, we were devouring entrée platters of Chicken and Beef Tenderloin Kabobs marinated with garlic and fresh herbs, along with similarly seasoned Lamb Chops.

As we dined, the atmosphere became slight-ly subdued and the lighting slowly dimmed. A dancer sways through the crowd clap-ping to the music, encouraging the audience to follow along. From her costume to her dances, she portrays Greek tradition as she mounts a sturdy “ready to dance-on” table, gathers the attention of the guests and ran-domly selects a few to follow her lead. The smiles become laughter and grow louder as the energetic staff tosses hundreds if not thousands of napkins through the air with shrieks of “Opa” being sounded.
Following dinner, we were served the signa-ture dessert, Opa Ekmek, a delicious con-coction of Kantafli shredded phyllo dough, walnuts, custard cream and whipped top-
ping as well as the universally known Bak-lava. Simultaneous with the sinful ‘inhalation’ of these ‘goodies’, the energy of the room begins to pulsate as the music blares, serv-ers pull willing guests out of their chairs forming an enormous circle and everyone participates in the traditional Greek dance known as “Zorba”. The room energy con-tinues to rise as napkins are thrown aloft and everyone shouting “Opa”!
This true, culturally authentic restaurant will leave you with a unique and memo-rable experience. G.M. Vassilis Coumbaros reminded us “Opa is not only about busi-ness. It is about outstanding Greek food and ethnic entertainment that is fun for all ages, families and friends”!<
“’Opa’, meaning to celebrate life—and celebrate we did!”

He is also known as the man who introduced the term “Fusion Cooking” to the world. <

More than 300 eager bidders
packed the new Baterbys Art
Auction Gallery facility on Jog
Road to participate in an in-
augural auction event. People
poured in from across Delray
and the Palm Beach areas to
vie for original and reproduc-
tion works of art by some of
the most recognizable names
in 20th century fine art.
Artists like Salvador Dali, Marc
Chagall, Yaacov Agam, Elena
Bond, Peter Max and Ken Kee-
ley were represented at the
sale. Bidders were favorably
impressed with the high level
of sophistication the gallery
brought to the area. Some even
appeared taken aback that a
gallery of this caliber would be
situated in a town like Delray,
which is nicely positioned but
unassuming.
The Delray opening (held at
what Baterbys is calling the
Palm Beach County Gallery)
came a week before a live and
Internet auction held at the
Baterbys main auction gallery,
located at 9101 International
Drive in Orlando, Fla. Many of
the same artists were offered
at that event, too. For more
information, please log on to
www.baterbys.com.
Officers from Baterbys, as well as local dignitaries, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the event.

> Coheed and Cambria may look like every other rock band out there with the long shaggy hair and cool rock style, but they are so much more. For those who are not yet fans of this progressive rock foursome, they are a new breed of band whose talent doesn’t rely solely on smooth vocals and catchy rock tunes, they tell an epic tale through their lyrics. Lead vocalist and guitarist Claudio Sanchez not only has a penchant for singing, but is also a best-selling author of The Armory Wars. This epic tale tells of the doomed marriage of two characters, Coheed and Cambria. The band’s music follows the story of the main
characters and their children who may or may not have the power to destroy the universe. Like any great story, the concept has two central characters that are faced with tragedy and triumph. “Basically Co-heed and Cambria play like an Adam and Eve to this crazy science fiction world that we are putting together. It is kind of like The Bible meets Romeo and Juliet meets Star Trek,” Sanchez said in an interview with “Thrasher Mag.” Their first commercially successful songs “A Favor House Atlantic” and “Blood Red Summer” off of their 2003 album, paved

the way for the band to become stars and tell their epic tale through music. In 2005, they released the first installment of a two-part conclusion to their sci-fi storyline. The album rose all the way to number seven on Billboard’s Top 200, and so-lidified Coheed and Cambria’s place in the mainstream music scene. The band started off with a limited audience offering a musical style of post-hardcore rock, but their most successful album, “Good Apollo Volume One” has a progressive rock sound that appeals to a much wider audience. Their unique sound and epic storytelling has really given Coheed and Cambria an edge over other rock bands. Influenced by British music of the late 60s and early 70s as part of an attempt to gain more ar-tistic credibility, they push the boundaries of normal verse and incorporate subtle elements of world music, classical and jazz. Coheed and Cambria really embody the progressive rock vi-sion especially with their storytelling ability and overarching themes present in their albums. Sanchez has said in numerous interviews that he is envious of bands from his father’s era like Queen, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. But instead of copying their sound, Coheed and Cambria has managed to encapsu-late a unique and moving sound of their own, with a powerful story behind it. Blame it on George Lucas for the obsession with sagas in the entertainment industry, or blame it on Hollywood’s recent fascination with origin stories, but Coheed and Cambria’s fans don’t mind. The new installation of the Coheed and Cam-bria saga is an origin story. Every good story has a begin-ning, middle and end, and since their last album concluded the story, their new album will tell of its beginnings. “Year of the Black Rainbow” is set to release this month on April 13 and a deluxe edition is available for pre-order that features a novel written by Vocalist/Guitarist Claudio Sanchez and bestselling author Peter David. For a taste of the new album, the first single, “The Broken,” is streaming on the band’s Web site. For even more of this epic band, you can see them perform on their first headline tour in over two years, at House of Blues in Orlando on April 24. <

> Dear Cathleen,
I came upon your magazine quite by accident...I was looking for a table at Brio Winter Park near the bar for a quick bite before attending the Michael Buble concert and saw two women about to vacate their table. They had two copies of Orlando Style on their table and I commented to one of them that it looked quite interesting, so she gave me a copy. It wasn’t until this morning that I actually took some time to read through it. I saw your editorial/tribute to your sweet Leon. I should’ve known bet-ter than to read the piece once I saw his picture beneath angel’s wings, but what can I say...I’m a sucker for a great dog story.
I was so moved by your tribute, as it brought back memories of all the wonder-ful 4-legged “children” I have lost over the years. You love them all, and there is always a palpable void in your heart when they leave. To this day, the memories of my be-loved animals can trigger moments of deep sadness and tears even though it’s been years since their passing...I wish I could tell you that it gets better with time, but I just haven’t found that to be the case. I miss every single one of them today as much as the day I lost them.
I know how much you loved (and still love) your sweet boy and your decision to help him on the next leg of his journey was bit-ter sweet. I have had to make that decision too many times (multiple dogs and 1 horse). A part of me goes with every single one of them, but as you know, it is the ultimate act of kindness and love.
There are those that believe animals are soulless, that when they die, that’s it. I am NOT of that belief. I hold on to the hope that when it’s my turn to go, the first loved ones I’ll see will be all my missing four-legged companions.
Look for your sweet Leon in your day-to-day life...he’s there with you...you’ll catch glimpses of him...he’s just checking on you and letting you know that he’s OK.
Now, I have to re-apply my make-up be-cause I’ve cried it all away while writing you this message. :o)
Have a wonderful day (great magazine, by the way)! <

March 21 - April 19
High energy levels early in the month let you as-sume a leadership role or perfect skills in sports. On the 14th the New Moon is in your sign. It’s the perfect time to choose long-range goals. Go within and reflect upon the meaning and direction of your life. Visit an antique store and gaze into a vintage mirror. Your aura will ap-pear and reveal the best colors to select for your spring wardrobe. Lucky days: 2, 14, 30
April 20 - May 20
Venus glides into a grand trine in your cosmic ele-ment, the Earth. This is brilliant for landscape design. Your legendary green thumb is at work and you can create a garden of medicinal and culinary herbs, which will be beautiful as well as useful. Family members show greater warmth and enthusiasm for work around the house. Get together to make a stone pathway around the pa-tio or build some rustic birdhouses. Lucky days: 5, 15, 23
May 21 - June 21
Your 11th house is high-lighted. Charity fundrais-ers and other community activities or humanitarian projects can be deeply rewarding. On April 7 a long term influence begins which finds you yearning for more space. Design a solarium or Florida room as a home addition. Include thick carpets and a few exotic statues to make a com-fortable yoga or medita-tion corner. Complete it with a set of wind chimes, an accent you always en-joy. Lucky days: 8, 19, 26
June 22 - July 22
Venus strolls through your sector of friend-ships. Throughout April you will realize how much others appreciate and enjoy your company. Plan a potluck picnic to celebrate spring. Use red and white-checkered tablecloths to suggest a nostalgic mood. Encour-age guests to bring reci-pes to share. Assemble these into booklets as keepsakes. Surprise ev-eryone by delivering the recipes by regular mail instead of on the ‘net. Lucky days: 1, 10, 21
July 23 - August 22
A Sun-Mars aspect en-hances and brightens your love of showman-ship to a new level. You would enjoy attending a live drama presentation and mingling with the cast afterward. During free time consider vol-unteering at a commu-nity theater. Seek a set of comedy and tragedy or Mardi Gras masks to liv-en up your office. A gold charm with diamond ac-cents worn on a chain to commemorate an impor-tant event is a treasured wardrobe accent. Lucky days: 3, 22, 29
August 23 - Sept. 22
Most of the month em-phasizes upbeat grand-parent and grandchild interactions. Share keep-sakes, plan gatherings to honor the very old and entertain the very young. Your ruler, Mercury, goes retrograde on the 18th. A lost or misplaced ob-ject surfaces at just the right time. A long time friend remembers you with a fruit basket and a bottle of your favorite li-queur to enjoy during an impromptu visit to cele-brate the spring holidays. Lucky days: 4, 16, 24
Sept. 23 - oct. 23
On the 6th serious Sat-urn retrogrades out of your birth sign. Suddenly a lighter mood prevails. Clouds of worry and re-sponsibility dissipate dur-ing the sunny and warm days of spring. A dear one has some promis-ing news to share, prob-ably regarding a financial triumph. Celebrate by brewing some Jamaican Blue coffee and baking shortbread cookies to share while you listen carefully to all of the de-tails. Lucky days: 7, 18, 25
oct. 24 - Nov. 21
The beginning of the month encourages a competitive spirit. Keep rivalry good-natured by sharing a joke or humor-ous story with other players. The Full Moon on the 28th is in your birth sign. It is favorably aspect to Jupiter, planet of good fortune. As the month ends everything is going your way. Cele-brate by planning a sailing holiday or a stroll along a beautiful beach. Collect shells and take photos of seascapes. Lucky days: 20, 27, 28
Nov. 22 - Dec. 21
On April 2 Mercury enters your 6th house, which rules pets as well as health. Always an animal lover, you will be especially aware of how a beloved cat or dog heightens your overall well-being. Enjoy a nature walk. Make time to ob-serve wild birds and but-terflies. A friend tells you about a great new spa with massage and pam-pering services. Sched-ule a session. Splurge on a facial, complete with aromatherapy and a pedicure. Lucky days: 3, 14, 29
Dec. 22 - Jan 19
Near April Fool’s Day cardinal sign planets emphasize Pluto’s influ-ence in your life. There is intensity, a desire to live in the present and get started on projects immediately. A spring-cleaning for your home, boat and vehicles would bring a sense of peace. Complete the process by burning a sage smudge to chase away the last rem-nants of the long winter. Bring home a bonsai tree, which you spot at an art show to add interest to the foyer. Lucky days: 6, 14, 24
Jan. 20 - Feb. 18
Uranus, your ruler, is in opposition to Saturn most of the month. Oth-ers will eventually admit that you’re right, but they can resist progres-sive ideas the first time you make a suggestion. Purchase a unique clock. It can serve as a conver-sation piece while acting as a reminder to yourself and others to savor the present. Time is the most precious of commodities. The beauties of spring-time can inspire you to invest the hours wisely. Lucky days: 8, 18, 21
Feb. 19- March 20
An unusual Jupiter-Ura-nus conjunction in your birth sign makes this spring a time of genuine growth. Completely new interests are about to command your attention and your horizons widen. Learn about the latest inventions, technolo-gies and gadgets avail-able, especially regarding wi-fi and cell phones. The pursuit of a favorite avocation involves plan-ning international travel. A vivid dream spells out the details near the time of the Full Moon. Lucky days: 9, 10, 28

HoroScope :: 97
> The presence of flowers uplifts and commemorates memorable occasions. A bouquet brightens a dark and empty room. Flowers added to an altar, offered as a tribute or a gift express appreciation and honor. Blossoms have long been linked to the presence of higher and subtler realms. Angels, fairies and spiritual forces are attracted to the color, fragrance and life force emitted by flowers. Select the flower representing your zodiac sign. Try adding the blossoms related to your Moon sign or ascendant and then combine them with the birth sign flower of a loved one. Perhaps there is an astrological sign, which is weak in your own horoscope, but with qualities you’d like to develop. Place the related flower in a vase and observe the prompt changes that occur. The gentle sorcery of flowers is a beautiful and pow-erful way to combine the magic of plants with the celestial influences of the stars to favorably impact your world.
