> The oldest city on U.S. territory in Puerto Rico founded in 1521 by Ponce de Leon, San Juan contains approximately half the entire population of the island’s almost four million citizens. The 4-Star resort, with its magnificent Stellaris Casino, contains 525 rooms and was built in 1995 on the beautiful resort-filled, fine white sands of Condado Beach. The Luis Munoz Marin In-ternational Airport is a short (4.3 mi.) cab ride away.
This smoke-free property is situated near the historic district of Old San Juan, with its wonderfully restored Spanish Colonial architecture and offers a multitude of amenities for the entire family. Guests can enjoy the health club, game room, children programs, Spa, all levels of dining and a casino, just to list a few. On-site, uniformed security is also provided to ensure optimum safety both within the hotel as well as in the parking areas.
For a casual, laid back spot to dine, the Beach Bar offers a lunch into late evening menu of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads and of course a tropi-cal drink or two to quench the thirst, if you catch my drift! The ever-popular Coffee Merchant and Bake Shop provides that early morning caffeine ‘jolt’ serving pastries, sandwiches, salads and coffee drinks throughout the day and into early evening. From midday into the late evening hours, those seeking a more relaxed dining experience can enjoy cocktails and a full menu of inter-national fare as well as live music and dancing on selected nights.
I decided to indulge in some immediate pampering and visited the quaint Ocean Club Spa for a massage and much needed facial. Needless to say, these treatments do so much to relax ones’ self both physically and mentally, set-ting the tone for the entire vacation.
Wish to try your luck at the games of chance? All that’s necessary is to slither into the beautifully carpeted, furnished and accessorized Stellaris casino, with its gorgeous crystal chandeliers majestically hanging throughout. You will ob-viously need a pocketful of cash once you settle on the appropriate game you wish to conquer, then immerse yourself into the challenge lying ahead. Remember this, if you are fortunate enough to jump out into a lead, don’t get greedy, take the money and run although one enterprising older gentleman seated at my table advised me to put aside my original investment and then “just have fun with their money”!
There are so many other things to do when in San Juan. In addition to the on-site hotel amenities, there are many sightseeing attractions, great restaurants, and exciting nightlife venues. Visit Spanish Colonial towns and tropical forests, engage in water sports of all kinds, from swimming to snorkeling off coral reefs, scuba diving explorations of underwater caves, golf, tennis, horseback riding, boating, hiking, cycling and of course…SHOPPING!

SAN JUAN MARRIOTT RESORT & STELLARIS CASINO
PUERTO RICO, BABY!
TRAVEL ‘N STYLE :: 15
STYLETOME.COM
To arrange for these activities, we suggest planning thru Travel Services, Inc., an in-house Destination Management Company (DMC) at the Marriott. From airport trans-fers to sightseeing trips, tours of water and land-based activities to cooking classes with renowned chefs, TSI can do it all. We opted to take their Kayaking Bioluminescent Bay Tour of Las Cabezas de San Juan, which is located on Road 987 near Las Croabas, at the northeastern-most tip of the island. This Natural Reserve is owned by The Conser-vation Trust of Puerto Rico and consists of 445 acres of land featuring seven distinct ecosystems including: coral reefs, sandy beaches, sub-tropical dry forests, sea grass beds and one of the few bioluminescent bays in the world.
Beginning at sunset our eco-guides got us into our two person kayaks and brought all necessary safety equipment and lights. After receiving pre-ride training covering all as-pects of the tour and operation of the kay-aks, we paddled to the entrance of a mys-tical channel leading to an area where the mangroves create natural tunnels. Sounds of wildlife surrounded us. After this 15 to 20 minute paddle under the blanket of night sky, our guide stopped to give commentary on the various points of interest: identifica-tion of bird life inhabitants, Marine life us-ing the lagoon as a sanctuary, information on visible stars and an explanation of the bioluminescent micro-organisms that give the water its mysterious light. Awesome! (It might be a good idea to wear a bathing suit beneath your clothing, as you will almost certainly get wet along the way)! The only real downside was that it took 2 ½ hours to travel from the hotel to the Bay along slow winding roads, making three other stops to pick up others from hotels along the way. Might not be a bad idea to chip in with a few others and rent a car for a day otherwise bring your ‘Dramamine’!

• Puerto Rico is a U.S. Commonwealth that uses U.S. currency, mail and phones. No passports or visas are required for U.S. citi-zens.• A vibrant, modern, multicultural society that offers great diversity. Guests can expe-
rience thousands of years of history infused with Spanish, African, Indian and American culture, combined with the modern conve-niences of today’s world.
• It encompasses distinctly different kinds of topography and microclimates in a relatively small area- from lush tropical forests, karst hills, to mangroves, dry forest and biolumi-nescent bays...
• Language: Spanish and English are the of-ficial languages. While Spanish is the domi-nant language, the majority of the local resi-dents speak English. Although a little Spanish is helpful and it’s fun to practice and learn while you are visiting, it is certainly NOT necessary to enjoy your trip.
• Climate and Time: An agreeable climate is one of Puerto Rico’s most attractive charac-teristics. Puerto Rico has a tropical marine climate, with an average annual temperature of 80°F (26°C). And enjoys year-round sum-mer temperatures. Uses Atlantic Standard (AST), which is one hour later than Eastern Standard Time (EST). The island does not observe Daylight Savings Time.
• Communications and Internet: Phone cards or calling cards and IDD service are readily available. Long-distance services from AT&T, MCI, and Sprint make calling home relatively convenient and let you avoid hotel surcharges. All the major cell phone companies are here. Many of the ho-tels have wi-fi service available either for a fee or as an included amenity.
• Your Money: American Express, Visa, Mas-ter Card, Discover and Traveler’s Checks are accepted at featured hotels and most restaurants and shops. ATMs accepting U.S. bank and charge-cards are available in every city and most hotels.
• Taxes, Fees & Tips: There is no airport tax levied on arrival or departure. A 7% Sales Tax applies to all consumer purchases but not to most B2B transactions. There are no hidden service fees. The accepted meal gra-tuity is 15 – 20%. Hotels will often levy a “Resort Fee” on accommodation pricing in addition to the applicable Puerto Rico Ho-tel Tax of 9 to 11%.
• Getting There: Puerto Rico is one of the easiest places to get to. San Juan serves as the main “hub” in the Caribbean. Part of
the United States TSA security system, it’s an outstanding airport with tight security. Puerto Rico airports handle domestic, US and international flights to and from the Island on a daily basis. Many flights are di-rect from the Midwest and eastern United States (3-5 hours flight time).<

The Trickster
> Opens November 8, 2012 for a limited engagement
Under the white Big Top at Tropicana Field
Cirque du Soleil is thrilled to return to St Petersburg with its big top production, KOOZA. The critically-acclaimed show opens Thursday, November 8 for a limited engagement under the white Big Top at Tropicana Field.
Since its premiere in April of 2007, KOOZA has charmed close to 4 million spectators in North America and Japan. KOOZA will be the 4th big top production to visit the area since 2002.
Tickets are available online at cirqueduso-leil.com/kooza.
ABOUT KOOZA
Written and directed by David Shiner, KOOZA is a return to the origins of Cirque du Soleil that combines two circus tradi-tions – acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. The show highlights the physi-cal demands of human performance in all its splendor and fragility, presented in a color-ful mélange that emphasizes bold slapstick humor.
The name KOOZA is inspired by the San-skrit word “koza,” which means “box,” “chest” or “treasure,” and was chosen be-cause one of the underlying concepts of the production is the idea of a “circus in a box.”
“KOOZA is about human connection and the world of duality, good and bad,” Shiner said. “The tone is fun and funny, light and open. The show doesn’t take itself too seri-ously, but it’s very much about ideas, too. As it evolves we are exploring concepts such as fear, identity, recognition and power.”
The show starts with The Trickster bursting onto the scene like a jack-in-a-box right in front of The Innocent, and that is just the first of many surprises to follow. The Inno-
cent’s journey brings him into contact with a panoply of comic characters such as the King, the Trickster, the Heimloss, the Pick-pocket, the Obnoxious Tourist and his Bad Dog.
Between strength and fragility, laughter and smiles, turmoil and harmony, KOOZA is set in an electrifying and exotic visual world full of surprises, thrills, chills, audacity and total involvement.
Several of the 53 performing artists in the show have received awards from important circus arts competitions. The show presents an unprecedented approach to the High Wire and a breathtaking Wheel of Death – an act that Cirque du Soleil has never be-fore presented under the big top.
THE CREATORS
The show brings together the following team of 13 Creators, several of whom are working with Cirque for the first time: Da-vid Shiner, Writer and Director; Serge Roy, Director of Creation; Stéphane Roy, Set Designer; Marie-Chantale Vaillancourt, Cos-tume Designer; Jean-François Côté, Com-poser; Clarence Ford, Choreographer; Mar-tin Labrecque, Lighting Designer; Jonathan Deans, Co-Sound Designer; Leon Rothen-berg, Co-Sound Designer; Rogé Francoeur, Props Designer; Danny Zen, Acrobatic Equipment and Rigging Designer; André Si-mard, Acrobatic Performance Designer; and Florence Cornet, Makeup Designer.
SPONSORS
Cirque du Soleil gratefully acknowledges Infiniti, CGI, XEROX, Sun Life Financial and American Express as the official sponsors of the KOOZA 2012 North American Tour
CIRQUE DU SOLEIL
From a group of 20 street performers at its beginnings in 1984, Cirque du Soleil is a major Québec-based organization provid-ing high-quality artistic entertainment. The
company has 5,000 employees, including more than 1,300 artists from more than 50 different countries.
Cirque du Soleil has brought wonder and delight to more than 100 million spectators in more than 300 cities in over forty coun-tries on six continents. Cirque du Soleil In-ternational Headquarters are in Montreal, Canada.

> Howl-O-Scream 2012 lures unsuspecting victims to explore the terror that grows be-hind the Dark Side of the Gardens’ gate and “Unlock the Fear Inside.” As Florida’s top-rated Halloween event celebrates its unlucky 13th year, it just may be your own curiosity that seals your fate!
Busch Gardens’ 335 acres will be overgrown with dark, sinister, adult-targeted fun, including new haunted houses, scare zones, thrilling live stage shows and the chance to ride adrenaline-fueled coasters in the dark, including Florida’s first triple-launch coaster, Cheetah Hunt. Even the streets themselves aren’t safe as insatiable hoards of devious creatures pour forth from the shadows, led by a terrifying Trickster who is scheming to show fans the most horrifying Howl-O-Scream ever. It will leave you begging for mercy… and screaming for more.
From 13 sinister superstitions to the claus-trophobic halls of an insane asylum, Howl-O-Scream 2012’s new haunted houses are de-signed to touch every aspect of your deepest fears:
• NEW! Blood Asylum – As lightning rages and thunder crashes outside, “The Creature” escapes from his holding cell in a high-security asylum for the criminally insane. Now this sa-distic deviant is running rampant, skinning his former cellmates and turning the mental hos-pital into his own torture chamber. This serial killer’s bloody playground will drive you out of your mind with fear.
• NEW! Circus of Superstition 3-D – You’ve tried to avoid black cats and sidewalk cracks, but Trickster will make sure that all those years of bad luck catch up with you! Under his command, crazed circus clowns challenge you to survive 13 superstitions in their 3-D Tent of Terror, but it will take more than luck to escape this whole new dimension of fear.
Some of the most demented houses ever are back by popular demand with some horrible new twists:
• Ultimate Gamble: CONDEMNED – Vam-pires have fallen out of vogue and the Ulti-mate Gamble casino has been shut down. The power is off, and the neon signs that once lit up the sky have gone out. Only the bravest guests dare visit the empty carcass of the once-vibrant casino, grabbing their flashlights to “enter at their own risk.”
• Nightshade Toy Factory: MUTATION – The old Nightshade Toy Factory has long been pa-trolled by diabolical dolls, terrible teddy bears and possessed playthings, but recent contain-ment issues at a nearby nuclear facility have started to affect these terrible toys. Now, the mutations will stop at nothing to devour the humans that have “enslaved” them for so long.
• Nevermore – Beating hearts, swinging pen-dulums and a raven’s cries haunt the manor of Lenore, creating a demented and twisted nightmare. Step inside to experience the goth-ic terror that maddens the lord of the house, and feel delusion overcome reality. Find your

way out of this horror story before para-noia authors your final chapter.
• Zombie Mortuary – No one remembers how the epidemic started, but now, zombies live here. The undead that infest this small town funeral home feed on the fresh flesh and brains of mortuary mourners to satisfy their insatiable hunger. Avoid the walking dead or you may find yourself deeper than six feet under.
• Alone… (A personal experience in hor-ror) – The deranged Master Alexander Dae-dalus opened Minotaur Storage to house his vast collection of “cultural” remains. But now his sinister obsession with hoarding has expanded to stockpiling people. Escape this lunatic’s labyrinth or you will become part of his collection. Can you make it out ALONE?
• Note: Alone is a unique, all-alone experi-ence through the haunted house for an ad-ditional fee. Reservations are required, and each reservation can accommodate you and up to 3 additional victims. Pass mem-ber discount does not apply. Not included with any other VIP tour or upgrade product. Howl-O-Scream admission is required, but not included.
At Howl-O-Scream, even the sidewalks aren’t safe from the things that go bump in the night.
ALL NEW scare zones and bands of roam-ing hordes will keep guests watching their backs as they explore 335 acres of fright:
• Faded Memories – Thirteen years of hor-ror-filled memories come swarming back as the most sinister icons, diabolical characters and disturbing scenes from your favorite Howl-O-Scream haunted houses and scare zones from the past converge to create the ultimate “best of” scrapbook of scares.
After braving bone-chilling coasters in the dark such as Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Mon-tu, Gwazi and Kumba, you can catch your breath at Howl-O-Scream’s signature show, Fiends.
NEW THIS YEAR, Fiends will be perform-ing nightly at the Desert Grill in Timbuktu. Captivating creatures of the night will infect you with dance fever and keep your pulse pounding with their deranged dance party. But when Dr. Freakenstein’s naughty nurs-
es start operating, the diagnosis is always “code pink.”
Looking for a sick party or the perfect sou-venir to round out your evening of evil?
• CLUB XIII – Escape the hordes and head to the transformed Marrakesh Theater to drive yourself mad partying at Howl-O-Scream’s exclusive dance club. This adults-only nighttime playground keeps the energy pumping all night long with non-stop music, premium signature cocktails, drink specials and exclusive appearances by Howl-O-Scream’s most terrifying personalities.
• Howl-O-Scream Shop of Horrors – Re-member your evening of undead excite-ment with a Tricky trinket that’s not for the faint of heart.
The event runs Thursday through Saturday nights, Oct. 4-6, 11-13, 18-20 and 25-27.
General admission is $79.99 plus tax. Re-duced advance-purchase rates and special offers are available for Busch Gardens pass members at TheDarkSideOfTheGardens.com. A $35 savings on general admission tickets is available in advance at participat-ing Publix Supermarkets and AAA locations or with promotional codes found at partici-pating Taco Bell and Applebee’s locations in Central Florida.
Take advantage of the best way to see Howl-O-Scream with all-inclusive VIP Packages, which include event admission, a tour guide and your choice of three levels of terrifying special treatment: The Super experience is a three-hour group tour of haunted houses that includes front-of-the-line access. The five-hour Mega experience adds reserved show seating, front-of-the-line access to several roller coasters and preferred park-ing, and the Ultimate experience adds the Fright Feast dinner buffet, meet and greet with the Howl-O-Scream creative team and a $5 games card. All tours include commem-orative photos, merchandise discounts and complimentary beverages. Packages start at $81, and pass member discounts are avail-able.
For those who prefer to self-guide them-selves through the event but want the front-of-the-line perks, there’s the Front Line Fear pass for $35, which grants no-wait access to seven houses, excluding Alone. The Front Line Fear Extreme pass ups the access and
also lets guests skip the line at five freaky coasters for $50.
The Thrills & Chills Weekend Pass lets true Halloween fans face their fears over and over again with a long weekend (Thurs-day through Sunday) of unlimited access to Busch Gardens’ thrills by day and Howl-O-Scream’s chills by night – all for just $79.99! Or, if you need to keep your adrenaline pumping all month long, the Recurring Nightmare Pass offers unlimited Howl-O-Scream visits on Thursday and Friday nights for just $79.99 (available only at the ticket windows.)
For out-of-town guests, Wicked Weekend Vacation Packages include Howl-O-Scream admission for two, plus one-night accom-modations at one of Busch Gardens’ pre-ferred partner hotels. Prices start at $89 per adult, tax inclusive, based on double occupancy. Stay two nights as part of the Thrills and Chills Weekend Package, and get into Busch Gardens day and night, and enjoy two nights of accommodations. Prices start at $175 per adult, tax inclusive.
And if there’s one thing worse than being terrified, it’s being terrified on an empty stomach. Fright Feast is the most deranged dinner show in town, featuring a buffet of monstrous main courses and devilish des-serts, plus an exclusive performance of Fiends. Fright Feast guests are also the first to brave the dark with a half-hour of early access to the all-new haunted houses and front-of-line privileges until 8:30 p.m. Fright Feast is $26 per person, with group rates and discounts for pass and Fun Card mem-bers available.
Howl-O-Scream is a separate ticketed night event. No costumes are allowed. For guest information, visit TheDarkSideOfTheGar-dens.com or call 1-888-800-5447.
Howl-O-Scream is intended for a mature au-dience. This year’s event contains intense adult content such as violence, gore and blood.<

> By the time you’re reading this, sum-
mer will have just given way to fall. We fin-
ished the season off with a bang, dodging
Tropical Storm Isaac, as Tampa hosted the
Republican National Convention (RNC) at
the end of August. Regardless of your politi-
cal affiliation, it was an exciting time to be in
Tampa Bay!
During the RNC, Jamestown Entertain-
ment produced a 30,000-square-foot 1 Oak
nightclub pop-up at Curtis Hixon Water-
front Park. Named after the catch phrase
“one of a kind,” 1 Oak is a nightlife staple in
NYC and Las Vegas known for its extrava-
gance. The 1 Oak pop-up in Tampa lived
up to its reputation, and nearly two thou-
sand guests socialized in the main tent and
two adjoining lounges, one of which was a
swanky cigar lounge, during the week of the
convention.
RNC’s senators, congressmen and political
activists were treated to a Camp Freddy
performance, as Jamestown Entertainment
presented a tribute to Bill Edwards in col-
laboration with 1 Oak on August 28th.
Camp Freddy says they are not a band; how-
ever, they are an “occasional happening,”
and it’s anyone’s guess what will happen
during a performance. The show in Tampa
was full of guest appearances, including: ac-
tress Juliette Lewis, Mark McGrath of Sugar
Ray and Cheap Trick’s Robin Zander.
On August 29th, The Hill newspaper hosted
a “Women to Watch” party at the 1 Oak
pop-up with Beam Inc. and Skinnygirl cock-
tails. Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly attended and
posed for a couple of photos.
Also on the 29th, Meghan McCain, Lifetime
Television and Variety hosted a party cel-
ebrating Republican Women’s Leadership
at the Glazer Museum. Country singer Sara
Evans performed at the event.
Switching gears from schmoozing to shop-
ping, September 6th marked the second an-
nual Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) that Tampa
participated in. FNO is a global fashion ex-
travaganza created by Vogue’s Anna Wintour.
Bars and restaurants at International Plaza’s
Bay Street ran specials and more than 70
stores at International Plaza offered FNO
discounts, promotions and giveaways.
Ocean Prime hosted the FNO After Party.
On September 13th, the 6th annual Vin-
cent Lecavalier Texas Hold ‘em Celebrity
Poker Classic was held at Pepin’s Hospital-
ity Centre. Cards were dealt at 24 tables
with at least one “celebrity” playing Texas
Hold ‘em at each. Tickets were priced from
$150-$500. All of the betting and bluffing
benefited the Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric
Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at All
Children’s Hospital.
And for those who indulged in one too
many cocktails or hors d’oeuvres at the
aforementioned functions, the 10th annual
Zoo Run Run, a 5K run/walk held at Tam-
pa’s Lowry Park Zoo on September 15th,
provided the perfect opportunity to burn
some calories! Participants jogged through
the zoo and along the Hillsborough River.
Children were invited to participate in a
“fun run” following the 5K.<

> Building a working wardrobe that is
easy to coordinate, care for and looks good
takes time. Special occasion pieces that can
only be worn to one event or do not match
anything else are not practical and can
waste time and money. This is why some
people look at a closet full of clothes and
say “I have nothing to wear.” It’s been said
you wear 10% of your clothes 90% of the
time. The items you do not wear take up
valuable closet space and slow you down in
the morning. Your wardrobe should make
you feel good about yourself, increasing
your confidence. If you leave your house
knowing you do not match, the clothes
do not fit properly, or the only pants that
match the top you have on are at the
cleaners, you are not going to feel your best.
The key is to build your wardrobe around
a few staple pieces and limit your selection
to 3 or 4 color schemes. Everything should
coordinate with almost everything else.
I consider the black blazer to be a fashion
staple. I reach for it every chance I get. It
coordinates with everything from jeans,
skirts and T-shirts, and can easily go from
day to evening by changing accessories and
shoes. It can take you through a workweek
Monday through Friday, a special occasion
and the weekend. Other fashion staples
such as jeans, skirts, and T-shirts will be
discussed in a later issue.
A BLACK BLAZER IS… SLIMMING.
Choose one appropriate for your body type:
Apple (full middle) – choose a boxy shorter
style and wear monochromatic colors
under blazer.
Pear (full bottom) – select a slightly longer
style with back pleat so it does not pull at
the fullest area.
Hourglass (curvy with a small waist) – wear
a blazer with princess seaming to define
your waist.
A BLACK BLAZER IS… VERSATILE.
A lined wool blend blazer can be worn all
year long and needs little or no ironing.
When cared for properly by professionally
dry cleaning, it will last many seasons. Dress
it up with silk bottoms or party dress,
tasteful jewelry and a metallic clutch. Dress
it down with skinny jeans, T-shirt, boots or
flats and tote bag. Take a look at our photos
for inspiration. Your work environment may
be more or less casual.
A BLACK BLAZER IS… A FASHION
STAPLE.
Layered over a turtleneck it becomes
a jacket to keep you warm. Worn over
a camisole it is more of a blouse. When
you don’t know what to wear or you must
travel, this fashion staple is what you should
consider. Vivienne Brown, actor and model
shared this with me, “Wearing a blazer and
shell has become my uniform because it’s
easy. I don’t have to think about it. It’s quick
and it’s done. I choose suits because they
are already put together, all the thinking is
done for me.” Cassie Haun, a working mom
agreed, she said, “Being a working mother
of two boys under the age of five keeps
me pretty busy. Having a job in the fashion
industry means I have to look ‘put together’
especially when meeting clients, although
I don’t always have the time to figure out
the right outfit. Having a fashion staple in
my closet like a black blazer, allows me the
perfect starting point for a great looking
ensemble even when I’m in a hurry.”
ORGANIZE YOUR CLOSET
Organize your closet according to item and
color. Most recently worn items should be
in front of each color group. Blazers, tops,

dresses, skirts, pants, and jeans should have
their own section in the closet. In order to be
able to accomplish this task, remove everything
and take inventory. Once your closet is empty
take your time, vacuum the rug and wash your
baseboards. You may consider hanging a well
thought-out closet system to maximize space.
Hanging your rod as close to the ceiling as
possible will allow you to hang a second rod for
shirts or pants. Leave only one side for longer
dresses. Seasonal items or rarely worn shoes
should be stored under your bed out of the
way.
Now you are ready to start bringing what stays
back in. I read once (unfortunately I don’t
remember the resource) to turn the hangers
from the right way to the wrong way, and each
time you wear something hang it correctly. At
the end of the year what you have not worn
will still be hanging the wrong way. This is an
easy way to determine what unworn items
need to go, leaving room for what you love and
fits well. Determine why that item is seldom
worn. Perhaps it needs a button sewn, zipper
replaced or stain removed. These are easy
fixes. If the item is too large have it altered, if
it is too small donate it, give it away or have a
yard sale. Too many of us hold onto the size
we once were even though the size we are is
only a portion of what hangs in our closet. Your
clothes should fit today, not when you lose ten
or more pounds. If you are considering losing
weight and are actively pursuing this, store your
smaller clothes in another area of the house
for a period of 3 months (or a date you are
comfortable with). Be realistic, if at the end of
the allotted time you have not met your goal,
dispose of the clothes that no longer fit and
follow my recommendations.
ORGANIZE YOUR ACCESSORIES
Accessories can add a punch of color to an
otherwise boring outfit, completely changing
the look. Knowing when too many accessories
are used is something that comes with practice.
Some people go by the 3 accessory rule; ear-
rings, necklace and bracelet. I go by the look
and feel of what you are wearing. For some
outfits one accessory is appropriate. For ex-
ample, when wearing a strapless fitted dress in a
patterned shiny fabric, a choker may be the only
thing needed. A plain black dress will require
several accessories.
How do you store all your accessories?
Think outside the box, like moving a small
chest of drawers into your closet to store
undergarments, scarves, or small handbags.
Using drawer organizers will help keep small
items from rolling around. Bring items in that
are meant for other uses such as cutlery or
office trays for keeping like items together.
Stylish hatboxes, baskets and wooden wine
boxes that can be lined with fabric will keep
you organized and add flair to your closet. You
may be tempted to keep the closet door open,
especially if you bring in a small bench and
paint your closet a coordinating shade. Other
storage options are: a hope chest at the foot
of your bed, vintage luggage stacked and used
as a coffee table, or individual clear containers
stored in a window seat. I wrote in my book,
Modeling At Any Age, “Even a diaper bag with
all the compartments and attractive design –
not all are pink or blue – will work and will
keep you organized in style.” The goal is to
make your closet and organizers as simple to
use as possible so getting ready for work, an
event or packing will no longer be a chore since
everything is visible and easy to reach.

> McLaren Automotive announces the launch of its second model in the MP4-12C family: the stunning new 12C Spider. With a lightweight, high powered engine developing an incredible 625 PS (616 bhp), unique RHT folding roof sys-tem that may be operated while on the move, and carbon ‘MonoCell’ chassis identical to that of the groundbreaking 12C, the 12C Spider is a luxury convert-ible sports car that offers prospective owners a unique combination of spec-tacular performance with remarkable us-ability.
The new 12C Spider is now available to order from bespoke new McLaren retail-ers across the globe. First deliveries to customers are planned for November this year.
Antony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive Managing Director said: “I am really excit-ed to announce that the new 12C Spider is now available to order at new McLaren retailers worldwide. The launch of our second model is an exciting milestone in the growth of our company.
“While the 12C is the technological es-sence of a race car, the 12C Spider in-corporates an additional dimension. 12C Spider owners will love the opportunity to lower the roof and hear the unhin-dered howl of a V8 twin turbo engine at full throttle. It undoubtedly enhances an already euphoric 12C driving experience.
“The 12C Spider delivers all the thrills characteristic of a high performance
roadster, and yet transforms into a rau-cous track beast at the flick of a switch. I can’t wait to see it on road and track with customers later this year.”
BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE
The 12C Spider’s impressive 625 PS out-put from its bespoke 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine is transmitted to the car’s rear driven wheels through a 7 Speed SSG dual-clutch transmission, which it-self provides lightning-fast gear changes through rocker-mounted shift paddles af-fixed to the rear of the steering wheel. A clear view of the 12C Spider’s lightweight M838T power plant is available through a glass screen positioned behind the ton-neau cover.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION HIGHLIGHTS
McLaren is a carbon pioneer. In 1981 McLaren gave a debut to a carbon fibre monocoque chassis in Formula 1 with the launch of the MP4/1 race car, and in 1992 the legendary McLaren F1 introduced the advanced composite technology to the world of road cars. It was natural then for McLaren Automotive engineers to apply its carbon expertise when developing the groundbreaking one-piece moulded chas-sis of the 12C. With the 12C designed originally as a convertible, its 75kg ‘Mono-Cell’ requires no additional strengthening for it to feature in the 12C Spider. The result is a sports car almost identical to its fixed roof equivalent in performance
terms, and weighing only 40kg more with the addition of a convertible roof system.
The Retractable Hard Top of the 12C Spider is operated using a switch in the lower section of the centre console in-side the cabin, taking less than 17 seconds to raise or lower. Unlike many other con-vertible models, the roof can be operated whilst the 12C Spider is moving at speeds of up to 30 kph (19mph).
Behind driver and passenger sits a rear windscreen which may also be electroni-cally lowered and raised. With the roof lowered this acts as wind deflector to minimise disturbance to the 12C Spider’s occupants. With the roof raised the rear window can be lowered, allowing the ex-hilarating noise of the 12C Spider’s V8 twin turbo engine to flood the cabin on demand at any time.
With the roof raised the area under the tonneau can be used as an additional luggage area which provides 52 litres of useful storage space. Bespoke luggage has been designed specifically to fit this space and is supplied as standard with every 12C Spider.
The 12C Spider also features a passive Roll Over Protection System to maxi-mise occupant safety. Each buttress con-tains a steel structure designed to absorb impact energy and protect both driver and passenger. <

> Any excuse for a brand new dress or pair of heels is a good
excuse. But when there is no particular occasion for your brand new
purchase, just consider it therapy. Retail therapy: shopping with the
primary purpose of improving the buyer’s mood or disposition. We
are all hard-working women out there, lugging around a lot of stress
on our plates. When the chocolate ice cream won’t do the trick, a bit
of retail therapy will fit the bill. It is every girl’s favorite hobby- just
ask Kate Middleton. This royal lady has been spending more than just
her own bucks on some retail therapy. Don’t worry though ladies,
you can indulge in some not-so-pricey retail therapy yourselves and
still get the exact same looks as some of Hollywood’s A-Listers.
If we are talking about retail therapy there is no way we could leave
out Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. A fashion icon expected
to always look her best. Her high profile status insists upon lavish,
designer clothing to represent her title with class. Recently, we were
let into a bit of a royal secret. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
are not the ones responsible for the excessive shopping bills that
cover the royal wardrobe; the bill has actually been footed by her
father-in-law, Prince Charles.
Before Prince William and Kate Middleton were married, Prince
Charles had agreed to fund Kate’s “working wardrobe.” Recently,
it has been publicly announced that his ‘darling daughter-in-law,’ as
he likes to call her, has been funded nearly $56,000 in the first six
months of this year. This is slightly over half of the $100,000 Prince
Charles has allotted for Kate’s annual wardrobe. In addition, Prince
Charles also pays the bills for Kate’s personal hairstylist who might
we add, tagged along with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when
they recently ventured to Asia to ensure the royal locks are not a bit
out of place. Prince Charles is extremely fond of his new daughter-
in-law, so indulging her is something he’s happy to do. Wouldn’t that
be nice?!
Kate’s retail therapy bill is rising daily. This is not only due to the fact
that Kate is a busy new royal with a hefty load of events to attend,
but also because she refuses to buy anything that isn’t full price. The
Duchess has instructed her staff to never accept any of the hundreds
of garments sent to her by designers or purchase anything that is
less than the going price for the item. When she finds something she
likes she instructs her private secretary to purchase it instead. It is no
surprise however, just why these designers are so willing to give away
their garments for free and why she cannot accept them – Recently,
one $600 suit Kate wore to an event sold out in just a half hour!
Retail Therapy of the Rich & Famous

CELEBRITY SOUP :: 39
Let’s be real though…
Living like ‘royalty’ is perhaps something
only the royals can afford. But who said we
can’t shop like the rich & famous while still
spending within our budget? Let’s check
out some celebrities who spend their retail
therapy shopping days in stores that we all
know that may have the same taste in cloth-
ing and price to match!
Natalie Portman has shown us that she is
not a one-time bargain-hunting gal. She ap-
peared at The New York Times’ 9th annual
Arts & Leisure Weekend in a slip dress from
Target priced at $39.99. Paired with black
leggings, heeled booties and a blazer, she
dolled up the dress perfectly to fit the occa-
sion. Let’s not forget Natalie’s appearance
on the red carpet wearing a pair of $80
Aldo shoes. In her case, retail therapy does
not have to include four zeros at the end of
her receipts.
Kristin Davis, one of the four flashy, fashion
forward stars of ‘Sex & the City’ is another
Hollywood A-Lister who knows where to
bargain hunt. Kind of ironic, wouldn’t you
say? She appeared at the Vanity Fair and Er-
menegildo Zegna Dinner in an embroidered,
apple green H&M dress, which shows us this
lovely woman can get her retail therapy on
for just $69.95.
Nicki Minaj, Roman, or whatever alter-ego
you want to address this star as is a bona
fide diva known for her extravagant ward-
robe, wigs and makeup. It is a mystery how
much she really spends on those eccentric
stage costumes. One thing we do know is
that this diva does know where to find a
bargain and still represent who she is. She
appeared on Good Morning America to
promote her new MAC product wearing a
vibrant color block Forever 21 dress priced
at a whopping $27.80!
So, there you go ladies – we don’t have to
spend a bundle to look “pretty in pink!”oes
not add to the outfit. This may have been an
attempt to flaunt the season’s hottest color
but this is just burgundy gone bizarre. <

used to spend hours in the kitchen with her
grandmother whipping up natural home-
made facial remedies using fruits, sugars and
whatever else was in the pantry. In college,
she began experimenting with designer sk-
incare brands, but even the best and most
expensive products on the market caused
irritation and breakouts.
Frustrated, Linda returned to her roots to
create a line of sophisticated skincare prod-
ucts using all natural ingredients with pack-
aging that still looked luxurious on one’s
vanity table.
Taylor Owen’s intelligent beauty arsenal
reads like a NASA playbook but every for-
mula is 98% natural, chemical-free, paraben-
free, hypoallergenic and void of fragrance.
It’s a combination of science and nature for-
mulated to deliver high performance results
by naturally enhancing the skins ability to
regenerate itself to improve firmness, elas-
ticity and moisture retention.
Developed by a team of chemists, Taylor
Owen products feature blends of some of
the best natural active ingredients in skin-
care including Seaweed Extract, Malus Do-
mestica Fruit Cell Culture, Red Tea Extract,
Hyaluronic Acid, Papaya Extracts, Cucumber
Extracts, Apricot Oils, Squalane, Vitamin A
and Amber.
The collection of problem solving, skin care
solutions includes cleansers, toners, mois-
turizers and treatments that address the
needs of sensitive, problematic and hyper-
pigmented skin at every age.
To provide extra moisture her chemists
also utilized an innovative ’sugar science’
technology that stimulates the natural syn-
thesis of cell regeneration to repair and
regrow damaged cells for a brighter, more
youthful-looking appearance.
What’s next on the horizon for this budding
beauty “mom-preneur?” Linda is in the pro-
cess of creating ‘Beautiful Girls’, a non-profit
organization that promotes life-long self es-
teem, leadership, post-secondary education
and other mentoring tools to help young
girls fulfill their goals and dreams.<

> Michele A. Biecker has been a sole practitioner since 1995, after having been lead counsel in the Orlando office for a civil litigation firm for two years and after hav-ing honed her jury trial skills while at the Orlando office of the Public Defender for five years. Ms. Biecker grew up in Brevard County, and moved to Orlando after hav-ing graduated from Nova Law School (now known as Nova Southeastern) with her Juris Doctor degree, and after having been admitted to the practice of law in the State of Florida. She originally came to Florida as a youth, after the family visited an uncle in Fort Lauderdale while on spring break. As with so many transplants the family fell in love with the warmth, greenery and lovely flowers of Florida, and just had to make it their home.
Ms. Biecker’s main legal fields of practice as a sole practitioner are:
Wills and Trusts, including: Power of Attor-ney, Living Will and Health Care Directives, Probate, Guardianship. Ms. Biecker has been assisting clients in preparing their estate plans and developing their plans to leave a legacy to their loved ones.
Family Law including divorce, child custody, child support and dependency.
Bankruptcy Law, including loan modifica-tions and mortgage foreclosures for either a private lender or the homeowner.
Real Estate by assisting clients with con-tracts and attending closings.
Ms. Biecker has extensive jury trial and bench trial experience and is thus com-fortable in a courtroom. She has previously represented numerous individuals as court appointed counsel when their children have been removed from the home by State au-thorities, or when they have been accused of a crime. She continues to represent in-dividuals who retain her when these events occur.
Ms. Biecker devotes her pro bono time through the Legal Aid Society of Orange
County by representing children as a Guardian Ad Litem, when they have been removed from their parent’s home or who are victims or witnesses to crimes. Ms. Biecker received the Legal Aid Society Award of Excellence for her pro bono work in 2000. She has continued to donate time on behalf of these children ever since.
Ms. Biecker believes that not only must an attorney be competent, and provide sound, legal advice, but also be compassionate, re-spectful, and provide counseling that is best for the particular case. When dealing with a divorce case in which children are involved, then the focus must be on the best interest of the children, while still being a strong ad-vocate on behalf of her client. Ms. Biecker tries to minimize the animosity that often occurs in a divorce situation so that the children can lead as normal a life as possible, as well as being sure that the resolution is fair and just for her client.
Lastly, Ms. Biecker is also Florida Supreme Court certified mediator in the areas of: Family, Circuit Civil, County Civil and Appel-late Law. Ms. Biecker additionally handles mediations in which the parties are “pro se” and thus have no legal representation. Lack of an attorney is not an obstacle to media-tion and particularly for a divorcing couple, may be not just more financially feasible, but also help alleviate the anger and frustration of the process. Oftentimes, the parties may want to mediate prior to filing a lawsuit in order to attempt to resolve their differenc-es before expending large sums of money with attorneys and court proceedings. Ms. Biecker is happy to help in that regard.

48 :: HEALTH & BEAUTY
> Halloween is coming up, and ladies you know what that means. Before you can cuddle up (or hide under a blanket) watching “The Shining” and feasting on left over Reese’s, there are some costume parties to prepare for. Use those invitations sitting on the counter to serve as your October motivation. It’s time to break out an ensemble that turns the head of every firefighter, frat boy, and ex-president in attendance. The skimpiest and most daring attire surely calls for a revved up workout plan.
Take your workout to the next level with interval training. This type of exercise not only will enhance your typical gym visit, but it can also boost your metabolism. The International Journal of Obesity concluded that interval training burns the stubborn fat around your waistline. Shakira costume, any-one?
Interval training blends
a high intensity workout with recovery pe-riods of less intense cardiovascular exercise. Through this mix, your body is able to fend off being tired by processing lactic acid as it adds up. Putting to use the short term energy systems in your body on a constant basis will enable you to push harder at each workout, and in effect, burn more calories and fat. Another plus is that interval training is perfect for women who don’t have hours to spend at the gym, the efficiency of this workout is astounding; fifteen minutes of interval training may accomplish more than an hour of jogging.
Here are some tips for slipping into that Katniss Everdeen’s fitted black bodysuit: On the treadmill, jog for a minute and then sprint for the next; pushing your body to its aerobic threshold and then recovering will result in more of a calorie burn. Channel your inner child and jump rope as fast as you can for two minutes, then recover with some old tricks you remember from ‘way back when.’ Most machines will have an option titled “Interval” that will alternate resistance and speed, opt for this setting and start out at a beginner’s level and work your way up. Sign yourself up for a spinning class that works in intervals. Sprints and climbs will also shed the pounds. If you’re really brave, dive into
the pool and alternate between swimming like a shark’s after you and free style back slowly. Pair these workouts with plenty of water and some metabolism boosting foods such as fruits, nuts, eggs, lean beef or poultry, or grab a half of a sandwich and eat it 30 minutes before your workout and eat the other half within 30 minutes after your workout. The importance is that you eat 30 minutes before and within 30 minutes after your workout. This will help you burn more calories during your workout without sacrificing lean muscle tissue and leaving you burned out. After your workout it will replenish the nutrients that you’ve lost thru sweat, and fortify your muscles from the wear and tear. To be safe, warm up before and stretch after any exercise, and make sure to keep up with your regular exercise regimen and slowly incorporate interval training two to three times a week. Whether Halloween parties are your forté, or you’re more of a trick-or-treater, you will look fantastic in that ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ costume you’ve been hiding in your closet!
Always check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.<

> Tired of lifting weights? Don’t have a single athletic bone in your body? In des-perate need of motivation to hit the gym? If your answer’s “yes,” then you might be like me and not a big fan of working out. Or at least I used to be that way until I discovered a new, different way to exercise.
Do you like to dance?
Perhaps a better question would be, “Who doesn’t?” Music and dancing is a universal enjoyment and one that I’m very fond of myself. For that reason alone, I said yes when a friend invited me to a Zumba class at our local gym one afternoon. It was sup-posed to be a one-time class for me, but fours years later I still enjoy – and constant-ly talk about – this fun way to lose weight and party yourself into shape. Zumba is an easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burn-ing dance party and it’s downright addic-tive! Since its’ humble beginnings over 10 years ago, Zumba has been moving millions of people towards a healthy lifestyle of high-energy dancing.
Zumba was “accidentally” created by Al-berto “Beto” Perez when he left to teach an aerobics class one fateful day in the mid-90s. Once he arrived and realized he had forgotten his aerobics music, he decided to improvise by using his own mix of salsa and merengue tapes that were in his backpack. His class loved the new workout formed by the change of music and on that day, Zumba Fitness was born. Today the Zumba pro-gram offers eight different types of Zumba classes:
Zumba Fitness fuses easy rhythms and high-energy dance steps with fun, Latin and international beats.
Zumba Gold targets baby boomers. It takes the Zumba formula and modifies the moves and pacing to suit the needs of older participants, as well as those just starting out on their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle.
In Zumba Toning, students learn how to use lightweight, maraca-like Toning Sticks to target and tone all their target areas while
following Latin-infused Zumba moves.
Aqua Zumba is also known as the Zumba “pool party.” It combines the fun of dance fitness with traditional aqua fitness techniques.
Zumbatomic classes are designed exclu-sively for children ages 4-12. The routines are kid-friendly and feature all the popular music they love.
Zumba in the Circuit combines circuit training (a series of strength exercises at timed intervals) with the traditional Latin-inspired Zumba moves.
Zumba Gold-Toning classes help baby boomers as well as beginners build muscle strength and improve their all around phys-ical health with Zumba dance moves and lightweight resistance training.
The Zumba Sentao workout fuses the traditional Zumba party with chair-based choreography to strengthen your core.
Zumba has grown to become the world’s largest and most successful dance-fitness program. There are over 12 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 110,000 locations across more than 125 countries. There’s Zumbawear™ apparel and accessories, music CDs, and a best-selling at-home fit-ness DVD: The Zumba Fitness® Total Body Transformation System. In 2010, Zumba even became the first branded fitness pro-gram to launch a video game on all three major gaming platforms: Wii, Xbox, and PS3.
Zumba is the ideal workout for people who don’t enjoy traditional fitness classes. It is the perfect exercise for anyone who loves to move to red-hot, high-energy music. It is fun, exciting and best of all, good for you! Whether it’s for health reasons or just the pure joy of joining a massive dance party, try out a Zumba class today and be a part of the movement that’s moving the world into shape.

> Endodontic therapy is commonly known as root canal treatment which is to treat the diseased pulp tissue inside the root ca-nal. The pulp tissue contains tiny blood ves-sels, nerves and connective tissue. It is very important during the growth and develop-ment of the tooth because vital pulp tissue creates new tooth structure inside the root canal.
The pulp tissue could be irritated or dam-aged by deep decay, repeated dental proce-dures or perhaps a crack in the tooth. Any irritation to the pulp could cause inflamma-tion or infection inside the root canal which would become painful or abscess.
There are several very common questions asked in regard to root canal treatment.
How do I know I need a root canal?
If the pulp of a tooth is damaged it usually has prolonged sensitivity to cold and hot, spontaneous toothache, discoloration of the tooth, swelling or tenderness in the nearby gum or face. If any of these symp-toms occur an evaluation with your dentist is usually recommended.
What is involved in root canal treatment?
After an accurate diagnosis, the tooth is opened to get access to the root canal space. The diseased or damaged pulp is re-moved and the canal space is shaped and cleaned before the next step of filling and sealing the canal space. Then you return to your general dentist to restore the tooth with a filling or a crown what ever your
dentist thinks is best for the strength of the tooth. All this is so the tooth can continue to function as the other teeth.
Is root canal procedure painful?
Most teeth can be anesthetized profoundly and the patient does not experience dis-comfort. Some patients might require ad-ditional volume of anesthetic solution or extra time to develop adequate numbness. After the procedures the tooth could be-come sensitive to pressure for a few days. Taking anti-inflammatory medication usually relieves the discomfort significantly. In some abscess cases your dentist might also pre-scribe an antibiotic to control the infection.
How long does it take to treat a root canal?
Depending upon the complexity of the root canal system and whether there is an ab-scess or not it could take longer time to prepare complicated or difficult canals. Usu-ally root canal treatment is completed in one or two visits. A recent research article published in the AAE found two visit root canal procedure, with medication in canals for one week before completion, can re-duce the amount of bacteria significantly more than a one visit procedure especially when the root canal has been infected. Your dentist should be able to decide which pro-cedure will bring best results for you.
How do I know if my tooth is cracked?
We have found more cracked teeth in pa-tients in recent years. The tooth structure can be cracked or chipped if excess pres-sure is applied on the tooth such as grinding or clenching or biting on a hard object such as candy and ice cubes. Any type of blow to the jaw during a sporting activity or auto accident could also cause a tooth to crack. If the tooth is cracked it might start to be sen-sitive to temperature, sweets, or pressure. A crack involved in a limited area of the tooth
might be restorable. If a crack is involved in the root in most cases the tooth cannot be salvaged and extraction is required.
Who should do my root canal?
All dentists including general dentist have been trained to perform root canal treat-ment. However, endodontists receive an ad-ditional two years in advanced training and they often utilize the newest technology such as digital imaging, and operating mi-croscopes, combined with specialized tech-nique and instruments to eliminate dental pain and infection quickly and comfortably.
Regular check-ups by your general dentist are always important to maintain good oral health and so any dental problems can be detected early and treated..

Dr. Palceski – Ask The Expert: 5 Bad (Skin Care) Habits To Avoid
BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #1: OVERLOOKING MOLES
A study conducted by the National Cancer Institute showed that fifty percent more melanoma cases oc-curred in women ages 15 to 39 in 2011 than in 1980. The lesson here? Everyone needs to get a skin cancer screening by a dermatologist once a year. You should also check yourself every month, remembering to ex-amine less-obvious places such as your scalp, the soles of your feet, and under your nails. My suggestion, get your birthday suit checked on your birthday.
BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #2: NEGLECTING YOUR NECK AND CHEST
Skin care shouldn’t stop at your jaw-line. These areas are almost always exposed yet rarely receive the same level of hydration and sun protec-tion as the face. In fact, the skin on your neck and chest is actually more delicate and just as vulnerable to photoaging. The fix is simple: The next time you apply moisturizer, fa-
cial serum, or sunscreen to your face extend everything down to your dé-colletage.
BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #3: NOT WASHING YOUR FACE AT NIGHT
Letting skin marinate in makeup—not to mention a day’s worth of oil buildup—can lead to clogged pores and breakouts, especially if you’re prone to acne. As you sleep, your body temperature increases slightly which can enhance absorption of whatever’s on the surface. So, wash your face every night and consider using a Clarisonic® Brush proven to remove 6 x more dirt, oil, and makeup than manual cleansing alone.
BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #4: PICKING BLEMISHES
You’ve gotten the same advice since you were a teenager - “Don’t pick!” Picking blemishes not only extends the healing process of a blemish from approximately 1 week to 2, but it can also cause darkening of the skin and scarring. The older you get, the longer it takes for your skin to
heal. So, “stop picking” and go see a dermatologist who will work with you to get you on a good skin care regimen to fight breakouts. Some over the counter products I like in-clude Glytone® Gel or Cream wash and Avene® Clean-Ac Moisturizer.
BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #5: TANNING
Self-tanner? Great! The real thing? Not so great! Any pigment change from UVA or UVB light can cause premature aging and increase the likelihood of developing skin cancer. Tanning beds can be even worse, since they emit concentrated UVA light, which has been found to pen-etrate deeper than the combination of UVA and UVB rays found in natu-ral sunlight. In fact, tanning beds have been found to increase one’s risk of developing melanoma by 76% and are considered on par with arsenic and mustard gas in the top cancer risk category. Your best bet? Avoid tanning beds, use a self tanner, and protect your skin every day by ap-plying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30.

As a dermatologist, I am so passionate about skin care and know first-hand that great skin is achievable. However, there are a few bad habits that I see over and over again in my practice that really effect how healthy your skin looks and feels. Here is my list of the top 5 “BAD” skin care habits I see most often along with some advice for turning those bad habits into good ones.

56 :: SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW
GOVERNMENT TARGETS OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNTS BY MARK L. HORWITZ
> Citizens face harsh civil and criminal penalties for not reporting offshore bank accounts. The penalties include 50% of the value of the account for each year that the account is not disclosed, and up to 5 years in prison.
Government efforts to detect offshore accounts are two-fold. First, it is forcing offshore financial institutions to disclose accounts of U.S. citizens through new treaties and laws. Second, the IRS has re-instated the Offshore Voluntary Disclo-sure Program (OVDP), which provides amnesty from criminal prosecution and significantly reduces the monetary pen-alties. This dual approach is designed to increase tax collection otherwise lost due to unreported offshore accounts.
Offshore banks such as Liechtenstein-ische Landesbank, Union Bank of Swit-
zerland (UBS), Credit Suisse, HSBC and Bank Leumi le-Israel have been or will be forced to disclose accounts to the IRS. Once account information is received by the IRS, the OVDP is no longer an op-tion. An account holder can still enter the OVDP after the IRS demand on the bank is made, but before the records are sent to the IRS.
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed criminal charges against scores of peo-ple with unreported offshore accounts. These prosecutions underscore the im-portance of entering the 2012 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program before it is too late.<

PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE [PAD] BY CHARLES S.C. GARNETTE, M.D., F.A.C.S.
PAD affects 12% of the general population in the US, and ~20% of people over the age of 70 years old. With our aging popula-tion, these statistics are expected to increase in the near future.
Peripheral Arterial Disease is most commonly caused by ath-erosclerosis, a disease in which plaque builds up in the wall of an artery, resulting in the narrow-ing (stenosis) or blockage of the artery, thus limiting blood flow. It most commonly involves the ar-teries of the pelvis and the legs. Although the heart is usually the focus of discussions of athero-sclerosis, this disease affects ar-teries throughout the body. Thus, PAD is related to Coronary Ar-tery Disease (CAD) and Carotid Artery disease in that all three are caused by the same disease process, atherosclerosis, and in-volve blockage of the arteries.
While many people with periph-eral arterial disease have mild or no symptoms, some develop leg, thigh or buttock pain while walk-ing (intermittent claudication) which resolves after a few min-utes of rest. Other more severe symptoms include pain in legs and feet at rest or when lying down, ulcers on toes, feet and legs that won’t heal, and development of gangrene. PAD can ultimately lead to limb loss and can even be life threatening.
Other symptoms of PAD include weak or absent pulses in legs and feet, hair loss on feet and legs, numbness and weakness in legs and erectile dysfunction.
Factors increasing risk of de-veloping PAD include smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, increasing age, excessive levels of homo-
cysteine, and a family history of peripheral artery disease, heart disease, or stroke. It is notable that people who smoke or have diabetes have the greatest risk of developing peripheral artery disease.
Treatment of PAD is focused first on risk factor modification, i.e. Quit smoking, exercise regularly, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure levels, dietary modifica-tion and maintaining good blood sugar control.
For truly symptomatic PAD, con-sultation with a Vascular Surgeon is essential to have the benefit of the best surgical or interven-tional treatment options available.

WHAT DRIVES YOU AS A FINANCIAL ADVISOR?
I am extremely passionate about what I do, primarily, because my experience allows me to help people accomplish something they have great difficulty doing on their own. I get a great deal of personal satisfaction helping my clients achieve their financial goals such as growing or selling their business, helping develop and secure their retirement port-folio and assuring that their family is well protected. Even with the recent economic issues, changing tax laws and volatile mar-kets, I am able to help my clients navigate through their options so that they can plan for the retirement of their dreams. I enjoy and embrace a challenge and am grateful to have the trust of my clients to handle their complex financial matters. In short, I love what I do and cannot imagine doing
anything else. I am proud to be a trusted financial advisor, consultant and friend to my clients.
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS?
One of the most memorable impacts I have had has been with a loyal client of mine. He first came to me looking for advice on a re-tirement plan and group insurance for his employees. I was able to create a custom plan that covered everything including es-tablishing a 401(k) plan and selecting group health, disability and life insurance for all of his employees. The plan I selected not only benefited his employees greatly, but also benefited him as a business owner. Being an independent financial advisor, I was able to use products and services from a variety of different companies. The benefit of select-ing an independent financial advisor is that we can choose the companies we want to do business with, which in turn assures that my clients will get the products and services that make the most sense for their unique situation. In 2011, this particular client had an offer to sell his business. He sought me out immediately to assist in negotiating the terms of the sale. Upon the sale of the busi-ness I had the opportunity to work hand and hand with this gentleman and his fam-ily to create a retirement income strategy and secure an estate plan for his assets and family. <

62 :: DON‘T MISS THE BEAT
> Whether you listen to music to escape reality, to jam out or you just appreciate the talent that goes into making great music, most music enthu-siasts are listening for good, heartfelt fun. Exactly as their title indicates, the band known as fun. provides the good time that song buffs desire. This group is making waves in the industry and has many fans cheering them along on their journey. The tunes they create have a way of provoking you to sing and sway along. As for the members, the mixing of three unique personalities and quirky style of dressing also catches the eye. One thing is for certain, they truly give the impression they are all about ex-actly what they’re known for, and that is fun.
Composed of 3 gentlemen known as Nate Ruess, Andrew Dost and Jack An-
tonoff, all three musicians have spent time in different music groups before, and after a while they found their way to rock together. In 2008 they made their move to rally and generate awe-some music. Nate is the group’s lead vocalist, Jack contributes also to vocals and provides guitar and drum skills, while Andrew keeps the melodies go-ing with playing a variety of instruments. When you combine these three sepa-rate abilities to do what they do well, you get magic.
The first album they put out in 2009 was entitled Aim and Ignite. Ignite in-deed; an interest to hear more was born. The album hit different charts and got the fun started. Best described as having a Pop/Indie approach people wanted to hear what would be next. Then, in February of this year their sec-ond album Some Nights unveiled songs and sounds that instantly caused ex-citement. The first song delivered is a catchy tune called “We Are Young” and it covers all the bases of exactly that; being young is a time where many feel every day is a chance to live and be free from anything prohibiting a good time. The song was perfectly available for traditional graduation times of the year and the words match exactly that tran-sitional time of life. Crowd pleaser for sure, the enchanting song placed strong as the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This is especially meaningful because this marked the first time since 2008 that an alternative song topped the list. This defining moment meant fun. was absolutely in the house.
The next release from the second al-bum shares the same title. “Some Nights” provides another anthem for a way of living and provokes you to jump around chanting along and singing the words. The track was certified Plati-num, making it two in a row for the guys
fun. By: Megan Hyde

and also peaked at number 5 on the Hot 100 chart. With such a huge contribution to the music world, Nate, Jack and Andrew have earned every bit of this recognition.
Another really fun thing about these guys comes back to their style of dressing. Whether they are performing on stage or sitting in a late night talk show host’s chair, the guys have an extremely unique way of dressing. Everything from suspenders, to cute rimmed glasses, sunglasses and distinc-tive t-shirts fit into the fellas’ wardrobes. At times they have a doo-wop appeal and on stage especially it just makes their performance that much more on a level of greatness. Their ability to bring this style to the stage is also apparent every time a performance occurs. The energy, the thrill, the way you feel a part of their show is no mistake. These guys un-derstand the importance of what they are doing and how the music they give to the world creates happiness. That is a gift not all musicians realize so early on and to say these guys are only getting started, that would be a huge understatement.
As for what else is going on, fun. is sharing exactly that emo-tion through a world-wide tour, various stops among late night shows promoting the jams they make, and also checking in with various award shows to both perform and retrieve honors as they earn them. Already among their collection of wins would include the Teen Choice Awards where the guys brought home the wins for Choice Rock Group and Choice Single by a Group for “We Are Young.” With numer-ous other nominations from several outlets it is safe to say other awards should be added to the fun. collection soon.
In the meantime, these guys are going to keep doing what they do best and that is generating crowd-pleasing compo-sitions that promote enjoyment and exhilaration. After all, Nate, Andrew and Jack are just doing what they do: having fun.<

White Wrongor
?
> Chances are you didn’t spend the day after Labor Day feverishly ridding your clos-et of all your white clothes, which is good because you know that whole “no wearing white after Labor Day” thing? Yeah, that‘s no longer a thing. In fact, this year you’ll look sillier than Clint Eastwood playing musical chairs if you DON’T wear white after Labor Day. That’s according to the fashion experts who also warn that wearing white is fine ONLY if it’s a heavier fabric like denim; stay away from lightweight fabrics like linen or you’ll make puppies cry.
More than likely this month you paused to consider if you should hold off on wearing white. It seems like the ban on white after Labor Day has become one of those vague fashion no-no’s ingrained in us since we were old enough to care about what other people think, which is strange considering very few people even know why it was so frowned upon. It wasn’t just a rule Wook-ies invented to get back at Stormtroopers, there are several theories on how this sup-posed breach of etiquette came about.
One explanation has to do with good old-fashioned practicality. White is supposedly a “cool” color that keeps the heat at bay, which was important back in the days be-fore electric fans or air conditioning. Mod-esty was still a virtue, making white the color of choice in the summer for women who were centuries away from feeling pres-sured by the media to wear tube tops and skinny jeans therefore they donned long-sleeved blouses and layered skirts. There was also the issue of keeping your clothes clean which was harder to do when the fall rains turned dirt roads into mud pits. So, as some historians will tell you, come Septem-ber women would turn in their cool, white
flowing gowns, for warmer, dark-colored shawls and over time the idea of wearing white after Labor Day simply became a fashion faux pas.
Adding to this theory as we got into the 1900s was the fact that designers who called the shots on fashion trends hailed from, where else, New York. For them, invig-orating spring temperatures led to hot sum-mers, which gave way to wet falls and even-tually freezing winters. So fashion gurus and editors designed magazine layouts and fads based on their own seasonal comfort; per-haps they either didn’t know or didn’t care about climates in other parts of the coun-try - even back then New Yorkers probably didn’t consider anywhere else a “real city” - so naturally they couldn’t fathom why any-one in, say, Florida would still want to wear a light dress in October.
The only problem with the above theories is that they sound too logical for fashion. We are a species that wore painfully dra-matic corsets and eventually learned how to squeeze silicon balloons through a slit in our nipples, I hardly think we’re going to be-gin a fashion trend based on the fact that it’s more comfortable and practical.
A more common explanation for the ban on white after Labor Day points to the late 1800s and the age-old tradition of well-rounded rich people wanting to look even more well-rounded and rich. During the summer they’d leave the city and vacation at their seaside villas where the men would wear white linen suits and the women would don white lace and silk gowns. In Septem-ber they’d return to their city homes and have their servants shake out their darker fall clothes. Labor Day marked the return
from vacation and white clothing became symbolic of leisure. Those in high society began to scoff at those who wore white af-ter Labor Day thinking it distinguished the respectable old-money families from the boorish new-money fools. It was basically as tacky as, say, a lottery winner wearing a real fur coat to the Kentucky Derby, or Lady Gaga wearing a meat dress to… well, pretty much anywhere.
Whether any of these theories are true or not, my own personal theory is that such a silly trend would’ve gone the way of corsets a long time ago were it not for designers and retailers cleverly seizing the opportunity to remind fashion-conscious consumers to buy a new wardrobe because - even if you didn’t know why - wearing white after La-bor Day made you look like a rock-banging Neanderthal, which was fine if those were the kind of circles you wanted to run in. <

74 :: BEST FRIENDS
Must Have Pet AccessoriesBy: Riesa Pascal • Read more at: StyleToMe.com5 5. THIRSTY NO MORE!
> Whether it’s at the park or the mall, most of us don’t leave the house without bringing a bottle of wa-ter or at least buying one once we get to our destination. Shouldn’t we do the same for our four-legged friends? Accessory #5 is a portable and reusable doggie drinking bowl. It folds into itself when not in use and even has a belt strap for easy carry. Perfect for making sure your pet never thirst outside again!
4. ANYONE HERE LOVE STEPPING IN DOG POO?
I’m fairly confident I speak on behalf of everyone when I say none of us enjoy finding pet waste around us. Yet for some reason I still manage to see dogs doing it everywhere while a shocking number of their owners just look the opposite way. C’mon folks, let’s be considerate of each other and pick up after our pets. I beg this to you on behalf of every single person who’s ever stepped in dog poo or found another dog’s poo in their yard. Accessory #4 is the perfect solution to this smelly, unsightly problem. For those who don’t mind close contact, check out the adorable bone shaped doggie bag holder pictured above. For the squeamish, consider a pooper scooper such as the one pictured to the left. which can even be bought with a long or short handle.
3. AH, THERE’S SOMETHING IN MY EYE!
Dogs are notorious for sticking their heads out our car windows and we love to let them. Can you blame Spot for wanting to see the beautiful, fast moving world outside? It’s clear they enjoy it, but unfortunately it isn’t safe for us to continue letting our dogs do this. At least, not without protection and that’s where accessory #3 comes in. Doggles are the first and only eyewear designed and made just for dogs. You may think you drive slow enough for your dog not to need these, but studies show damage can occur to your pups eye at any speed so why even risk it?
2. IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE. SO TAKE OFF ALL YOUR... FUR?
Okay, let’s face it guys. Florida has spoiled us. We go outside almost any day of the year and soak up the sun to our heart’s content. Then once we’ve had enough of it we simply go inside any restaurant, store, business, car or home and get blasted in the face with AC. Feeling cool anywhere you go is a great feeling and now your dog can feel it too with accessory #2, a detachable crate fan cooling system. Now Spot is a REAL Floridian!
1. A TRUE ORLANDO-STYLE PET!
Okay, #1 is clearly not a necessity category, but I couldn’t resist! Most of us enjoy turning heads when we go out for good reasons. So, if we wouldn’t leave the house without looking our best, let’s do the same for our pets. We love them so much that they become an extension of us, so let’s start making sure that extension is constantly getting the attention it deserves with random, adorable pet fashion accessories! <

YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY SHUT UP!
After 13 years of marriage, writers, actors, and real-life-married-couple Annabelle Gurwitch (“Dinner and a Movie,” Fired!) and Jeff Kahn (The Ben Stiller Show, Forty Year Old Vir-gin) have adapted their hilarious, of-ten moving, memoir, You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up! for the stage.
In the 75-minute tour de force, You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up!, takes a humorous look at a relationship that seemed doomed by opposing per-sonalities from the start. After trials and tribulations they learn to navigate the conflicts that come with romance, money, and children by embracing each other’s differences, taking on parenting as a competitive sport, and dropping out of couple’s therapy. Their delightfully crazy lifestyle has managed to keep their relationship intact, up-ending every idea you ever had about living “happily ever after.”

> So you want to wipe the dust off of that old bar recipe book your parents had and find a killer retro recipe. We have heard that magic word “retro,” to explain all mat-ters of things. It gets hung in front of words such as music, style, or art to give something that throwback moniker. I think it fits quite nicely hanging out in front of the word cock-tail like a dare to pour the past in the pres-ent.
The bar business has seen many classic cocktails stand the test of time throughout the years. You always have your Manhat-tan or classic martini nestled comfortably among restaurant menus. The fun thing is to dig into those old recipe books and pull out a true retro-cocktail. I think we are at a time when you can see a shift on many bar menus. Fading away are the extravagant and crazy conception drinks that spilled over the last few years. Don’t get me wrong I think there is always a need for creativity and play-fulness on most drink lists. It could just be a result of a simpler time reflected in our ev-eryday lives that is steering the retro cock-tails to the forefront. Whatever the reason I for one am happy to see the simplifying of drinks happening.
The focus is still there of delivering a satisfy-ing and tasty beverage to the person sitting on the other side of the bar. Pulling recipes from our past can accomplish that goal as well as giving a history lesson for our taste buds. Do yourself a favor and go to a book-store or raid your parent’s old bookshelves to find some old party host books or cock-tail books. There is a wealth of knowledge inside that shows how to deliver great fla-vors and to do it in a simpler fashion. One of the books I get a kick out of is Playboy’s Host and Bar Book by Thomas Mario. Not only does it have some cool retro recipes but the reading alone is captivating. It is written in the fifties with numerous reprints throughout the years. The explanations on how to be a good host alone are worth its weight in gold.
You will notice a focus on ingredients that make sense once you start building these cocktails for yourself and your friends. There is an ingredient list that is filled with fresh fruit juices, sweet syrups and even egg whites that transport you to a time and place that focuses on the simple nuances of flavor that make a drink shine. The Heming-way Daiquiri, for example, is screaming to
be made poolside for your friends to enjoy. It is made with white rum, maraschino li-quor and grapefruit juice to start. Throw in a little simple syrup and a squeeze of lime and you have the perfect poolside cocktail. If you want something a little more grown up or you are actually hosting a party with the aforementioned Playboy book try a Be-tween The Sheets. All you need is some V.S. cognac, Cointreau and retro liquor by the name of Benedictine. Benedictine makes up one half of the better known B and B how-ever you can find this at your local liquor store. Squeeze a little bit of fresh lemon juice and voila, your retro-cocktail is ready to consume.
The one thing for sure about the retro-cocktail is there are plenty of choices out there. I encourage you to find your favorites and get your friends together to test them out. More often than not I would be willing to bet they are happy to oblige and happier even still after trying the cocktail you saved from the past. Just remember the retro thing is fun but polyester suits and funny looking moustaches, not so much.<
