PUBLISHER’S NOTE

> Our annual ‘Mens’ issue allows me the opportunity to voice my side of things in regards to how television’s portrayal of men being dummies and deadbeat dads… We can’t tune in without seeing a commercial or sitcom hinting that men in general are nothing more than sex-obsessed womanizers, brimming with incompetence, and brutish slobs possessing few redeeming qualities. It seems that when there is boys vs. girls competition programmed, the girls always come out on top and the boys treated as fools. I think TV shows, commercials and movies need to cut us a little slack and show men in a more positive light.

Women continue to be reminded that ours is a man-driven world and in many respects this bears some truth, however, there are also men who are real men. Those who might not always concur with but understand and respect other points of view and actions. This is the guy who takes good care of himself, practices good grooming and manner of presentation, is educated and confident. He knows how to balance his personal life, and love of sports, while being attentive and serious with his social and business counterparts. He’s also very likely to be an Tampa Style reader.

Our June publication contains lots of great content for both men and women.We strive to create every magazine issue so that it surpasses the quality and content of each preceding release.This labor of love requires total dedication each and every day despite being critically attacked at times by those who continue ‘limping along’ in the rear, refusing to accept that ‘Style’ is always at the ‘top of the charts’ when it comes to our recognized popularity as the most loved, read and respected magazine in the city.

Please be on the lookout for the new, upcoming developments on our digital side. We will launch a reader’s experience that has never been seen before in our city and we cannot wait to get your reaction to our new addition.

Help us strengthen our passion to continue producing a high quality, fulfilling and satisfying product in showing your appreciation for our efforts by continuing your support and encouraging your friends and acquaintances to join our list of growing ‘family’ members by subscribing to our magazine.

Happy Father’s Day!

MEN’S HEALTH

MANLY WAYS TO EXERCISE

BY REBECCA PADGETT

> Since the beginning of time, humans were born with the notion of survival of the fittest ingrained into their minds. This keen sense dates back to when we did not live in carefully sculpted neighborhoods, but instead in the rugged and untamed wild. As humans we had to gain our strength from what was found in nature in order to survive. So, why not take this theory and apply it to your workout?

Ditching the gym for the great outdoors brings about a transformation to your workout. The metal equipment with weight labels are gone, only to be replaced with using and judging your own strength based on what nature provides you. Nothing is manlier than being out in the wild and testing your strength among the elements.

Florida provides an accommodating atmosphere for outdoor workouts with its pleasant weather, access to waterways and abundance of parks. You can consider taking your next exercise to the lake, a nearby state park, or even your own backyard.

It may sound simple, but the first step you should take in your escapade towards out-

STYLETOME.COM

door manliness is to take a hike. Florida may not provide the challenging terrain of a mountainous town, but any trail can get your cardio going. Along the way you are likely to find objects that will aid you in your workout.

Large rocks and boulders can now become your weights. They come in all shapes, sizes for your hurling pleasure. By lifting boulders you are using the same muscles in your arms, legs and back that you would use in the gym. Except, in the gym they don’t allow you to throw the weights around.

It is fairly easy to come in contact with a downed tree or at least logs, while out in the wild. Most people are well aware of contests that involve log lifting and throwing. You don’t have to save this for televised spectacles. Lifting logs or doing squats with logs gives you the same back, upper body and leg results as any gym equipment would.

Every young boy wants nothing more than the excitement of climbing a tree, but who said this hobby couldn’t carry on into adulthood? Tree climbing can test your upper body strength, while allowing you to have

the time of your life swinging from branch to branch.

If you are a man that enjoys activities on the water, kayaking is worth a try. Many men consider fishing and boating to be the only manly, water-related exercises, but kayaking takes tremendous amounts of strength. After about an hour or so of kayaking your arms may begin to feel like you’ve had your heaviest lift. Through kayaking you are using your triceps, biceps and deltoids in different ways than you would in a gym workout, however, still receiving noticeable results.

Men often seek to be the strongest, fastest, and manliest they can be. A man’s degree of manhood is often judged based on his skills and strengths in relation to the great outdoors. So, test your strengths outside of an air-conditioned building complete with steely weights, and become a lean, mean, nature man. <

Cigar Heritage in Ybor City

By Rebecca Padgett

> Ybor City is widely known for its vast array of restaurants, unique shops and bustling nightlife. Yet, as you walk along its streets past brick buildings, you can’t help but notice a sense of strong history rooted in this Florida town.

In 1886 Don Vicente Martinez Ybor moved his cigar factory from Key West to what now is known as Ybor City. This move would later make a lasting impact on the Tampa area, as Ybor’s cigar factory quickly became the largest in the nation. As his company grew, Ybor encouraged more cigar companies to join the Tampa area.

As the popularity of cigar shops increased so did the need for workers. Immigrants from Spain, Cuba, Italy, and Germany flocked to the area and began jobs in the cigar industry. Until the 1930s Ybor City remained the Cigar Capitol of the World.

The popularity of cigars began to decline during World War I and were almost completely diminished by World War II, which caused many of the cigar shops in the Ybor area to shut their doors.

When Ybor City was recognized as a National Landmark Historic District, it began to gain back important parts of its history, and with that came the rise of cigars. Today, Ybor City and the surrounding Tampa area offer as many as 16 different cigar shops.

A vast majority of these shops are located conveniently on 7th Avenue, where you can stop in and select a variety of cigars from all over the world.

“Until the 1930s Ybor City remained the Cigar Capitol of the World.”

Most of the cigar companies located in Ybor City boast about their strong ties to the cigar heritage. Cigar shops don’t stop with just cigars anymore, but wish to offer customers a full experience. At shops such as King Corona Cigars you can stop for a handmade cigar and a cup of the famous Cuban specialty, Café con Leche. Tampa Sweethearts Cigar Company is also taking to the idea of making cigar selection a total experience by opening a lounge this summer. At other shops you can embrace

the culture by scooping up a pressed Cuban sandwich along with your favorite cigar.

Many of these shops such as King Corona Cigars and La Herencia de Cuba Cigar Factory offer hand-rolled as well as imported cigars. Having both handmade and imported cigars offers more choices and variety to the customer. While the process of handrolling a cigar fascinates some customers others are drawn to the exoticism of foreign made cigars. The idea of being able to pick out a specific cigar that appeals to the customer’s senses is a luxury that allures some people. Either way,Ybor City has it all.

Since the 1990s cigar smoking has steadily began to rise particularly guiding customers to the Ybor area. The idea of cigar smoking has evolved through out the years, and is now viewed as somewhat of a lost art that Ybor City aims to bring back. Next time you are in Ybor City take a stroll down 7th Avenue with cigar in tow, and you might just be transported back to the 1880s. <

BON APPETIT

Fishing With The Boys The hunt to hook the perfect dinner at Clearwater Beach

> It’s a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning and you’re free from all obligations. No work, no nagging boss or co-workers to worry about, no coffee to spill on your collared shirt. You want to get away for a day with just you and your buddies, so you take a trip to Clearwater Beach. But you don’t just sit around getting sunburned, no. You’re all out on the beach with one common mission: to catch some nice, big snook fish for dinner.

By Kelly Lamano Read more at StyleToMe.com

You let your feet soak in the white sand as you walk across the hot beach, full of friendly beach-goers, fishing rod and bait in hand, ready to meet your match. You walk across to the palm tree-surrounded entrance of Pier 60. Casting your rod, you stand and patiently wait for something to take advantage of the bait attached.

You aren’t getting any bites, so you and one of your friends decide to take a boat for some offshore fishing while the others stay behind. You rev up the engine and head out.

STYLETOME.COM

The breeze feels fantastic as you cruise atop the clear blue water.

Stopping in what you feel is a lucky spot; you cast your rod once again. Suddenly, you feel a rough tug on the line, so you hold onto the rod tight, pull back, and reel the fish in.

It’s exactly what you came for: a snook. It’s a decent size, a good 15-pounder, gray with a nice gold tint to it. Your mouth is already watering just thinking about cooking and eating it for dinner.

Wanting to go home on a good note, you speed back to return the boat and meet up with the rest of the group.You glance over at your buddies who have gotten a few catches of their own. Collectively comparing your catches for the day, the group has caught some varying sizes of silver trout, Spanish mackerel and, of course, a large snook.

The four of you head back home to Tampa, feeling victorious on the drive back. Music

BON APPETIT

is blasting, friends are chatting and fish is bouncing in tightly closed bags.

The fun is over. Now it’s time to get down to business of cooking. What to do with today’s catches? Well, you have a few choices between some scrumptious baked trout, broiled Spanish mackerel and grilled snook fillets.

To get started on the baked trout, you’ll need to preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Once that’s ready, sprinkle some salt and pepper over the trout for added flavor.

Place 3 slices of bacon on the center of the pan. Next, blend some flour and butter.

Place the pan in the oven, uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the fillet and you’re good to go.

For a quick 10-minute meal, the Spanish mackerel can be prepared by rubbing olive oil on both sides of the fillet. Season each fillet with salt and pepper, and then top it

::

with two slices of lemon. Next, bake the fillets under the broiler for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove the fish before it flakes and serve.

A grill will come in handy for that large snook. Using less seasoning will be beneficial because the snook will be very absorbent to any additives. A touch of garlic, brown sugar and butter will be just enough for that perfect dinner. For this quick meal, melt the butter, then add a very small amount of garlic and brown sugar. Stir this until it is mixed well.

Brush the mix onto the fillets, and then grill.

All of these meals paired with some chips and a nice, cold beer make it the perfect victory dinner after a hot day out on the beach. <

Willie Nelson

In Case You Missed It Style Events, News & Gossip from Around the City

By Kelly Casas Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> The month of May was jam packed with events to suit locals & visitors alike with a line up of concerts, festivals, rock and roll parties and more. We could not think of a better way to kick off the hot summer season then attending some of these memorable events that took place and left us wanting more.

Starting the month off with a country feel was the incomparable Willie Nelson who performed for a packed house at Ruth Eckerd hall on May 1st. The 79-year-old singer has had a long stretch of hit songs spanning over decades. His loyal fans were out in large numbers as he serenaded locals and visitors for this memorable concert.

Shifting gears from country music legends to ghost’s and ghouls, the month of May took a turn for the eerie when Tampa hosted month long ghost tours for those seeking a thrill with the unknown.The tour took visitors by candlelight thru the historic part of the city, where we listened to ghost stories, visited haunted houses, and discovered the haunted side of Tampa, a city which was

STYLETOME.COM

once referred to as the “damnedest town this side of Hell.” Visitors of all ages enjoyed the spooky walk that left us all thinking it was Halloween.

From spooky ghost tours to the one of the most important topics for women and men, Tampa was lucky enough to host four amazing speakers who came together to teach and guide audiences in the areas of health, beauty, and soul. Teresa Tapp, who has been featured in Oprah, is the popular author of “Fit and Fabulous” and is the creator of the T-Tapp, a new type of exercise that offers weight loss and even cellulite removal. Following Teresa was another amazing speaker, Sheryl Fry. Sheryl is the program coordinator of the Mammography Voucher Program, which provides mammograms and followup diagnostic services to the millions of women who are uninsured in the U.S. Lynn Wise and Alishia Willardson were also on hand to speak to the mass crowds about living the healthiest life you can live. The event also held silent auctions, along with over 50 health and beauty vendors and our favorite part, food!

After getting our health and beauty lessons from some of the best in the industry, we got our glam on to attend one of the biggest parties of the month known as the Big Hair Ball. It was a night full of rock and roll and of course, the biggest hair in Tampa! The rock and roll themed concert party hosted the # 1 Journey and Bon Jovi tribute shows, Never stop believin’ and Livin’ on a prayer and all the crowds favorites from the ‘70s, ‘80s & ‘90s. The costume contest had everyone dressed to the nines in everything that embodied the unforgettable era of rock and roll. The lucky winner who wore the most rocking costume took home $500 cash prize, which by our opinion was well deserved. < Know of a Not-To-Be Missed Event?

WAYS TO NATURALLY INCREASE YOUR TESTOSTERONE LEVELS

By Michelle Collins Read More at StyleToMe.com

> Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily by the testicles and plays a large role in male sexuality and reproduction. (It’s also to blame for those embarrassing, unexpected cracks in your voice during puberty!)

According to Dr. Oz, between two and four million men in the US alone suffer from below-normal testosterone levels.

Having low-levels of this hormone can cause you to suffer from tiredness, muscle weakness, low-interest in sex, weight gain, or depression. It’s not just a problem that’s affecting men age 50 and older, though. Levels gradually start to decline around age 30, and continue to decrease as a man grows with age. We’re sure you don’t want to put on any extra pounds and you definitely wouldn’t want your sex life to suffer, so consider these easy ways to boost your testosterone levels!

AVOID BINGE DRINKING It’s fine to have a few drinks to let loose, but studies suggest you cut yourself off after three drinks. Alcohol causes your testicles to stop producing testosterone, therefore killing those levels. This is one of the reasons you can find yourself having a bit of trouble in the sex department after a few too many beers after a night out. Moderation is absolutely key

STYLETOME.COM

for your testosterone levels when alcohol is thrown in the mix.

INCREASE YOUR ZINC A diet that is rich in the nutrient Zinc has been found to increase levels of testosterone in as little as six weeks. Zinc supplements unfortunately don’t boost levels above what is normal, so you must incorporate foods like lean meats and fish, raw milk, raw cheese, and beans to reap the benefits. However, be careful not to overcook these foods, as it will drastically deplete the nutrient levels!

GO HARD AT THE GYM Now you don’t need to be throwing around dumbbells and grunting so loud that it scares others working out, but regular exercise is an easy way to force your body to produce extra testosterone. Compound exercises that train several large muscle groups like squats, bench presses, dead lifts, and chin-ups are the best way to boost your testosterone and build more muscle quickly.

STOP WATCHING ‘GAME OF THRONES’ We scared you for a second, right? You can totally keep watching this show, but only if

you’re not awake watching it until all hours of the night! Sleep is vital to keeping your testosterone levels high, and it’s proven that these levels can drop by as much as 40% when you don’t get 6-8 hours of good, quality sleep each night

GET IT ON MORE OFTEN Here is some fantastic news: sex is good for you! Studies show that simply having an erection causes your circulating testosterone to rise significantly, and testosterone levels were even shown to increase on nights after sexual activity.

Scientists recommend sex at least once a week, although that’s the bare minimum. (Pun intended!) After adhering to all the other health advice, this is one natural remedy that you can actually look forward to! <

“Having low-levels of this hormone can cause you to suffer from tiredness, muscle weakness, low-interest in sex, weight gain, or depression.”

Fall into the World of Greg Alexander

By Cathleen K. Bode Read More at StyleToMe.com

> Photographer and film director, Greg Alexander possesses a deep obsession, which drives this workaholic to produce a continuous and complete shooting every three days, on average. Prior to completion of each photographic session, Greg is always thinking about the next one. “If I stop taking pictures, I’m dying. Taking pictures is a pleasure more powerful than anything, it’s like experiencing the ultimate euphoria.”

His career began when he was a small boy.

“When I was seven,” recalls Greg, “I drew Haute-Couture collections. Fashion is my first love”... and this self-taught man turned his girlfriends into models as he was shooting them.

Since meeting art director Sébastien Vienne in 2002, they’ve worked together as a team, creating a colorful world of contrast where ‘kitsch to tragic’ forms a workable mix. This melting pot produces a special aestheticism, which gives all shots a unique and recognizable style, allowing them to collaborate with the most prestigious Houses of Couture such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Frank Sorbier, Zuhair Murad and luxury prêt-à-porter such as Dior, Gucci, Zilli and Cartier, in creating fashion editorials for international magazines such as Madame Figaro.

“I do take pictures of me, myself and I...an idea of myself... but this is not narcissism, but capturing beauty, escaping from time running out, tasting a piece of eternity...”

“The obsession of the photographer is more than a pointless quest of beauty or fashion; he searches for the hidden meaning behind the image.”

Also, on a two-year journey, they collaborated the image of French pop star Shy’m and other famous French singers and their comfortable eclecticism in selecting fresh, new fashion designers affords the opportunity to be published in magazines or for them to be branded by their personalities which emit through their design apparel.

“We do not seek the brand at all cost, but we search the idea of mise-en-scène of the shooting which leads us to choose some clothes instead of others.” This obsession of the photographer is more than a pointless quest of beauty or fashion; he looks for the hidden meaning behind the image. “We don’t wish to create a style ‘Sébastien’ so when it emerges it is all about the research invested in the meaning we wish to convey through pictures.” This approach reveals the author much more than the model.

“I do take pictures of me, myself and I...an idea of myself...but this is not narcissism, but capturing beauty, escaping from time running out, tasting a piece of eternity...”

NEIL

ARMSTRONG The Man, The Dream & The Legacy

By Riesa Pascal Read more at: StyleToMe.com

“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” - Neil Armstrong STYLETOME.COM

PEOPLE

::

> Easily the most quoted astronaut in history, Neil Armstrong is a name we all know.

From the elderly grandmother who watched it live in 1969 to the high school student who read about it in their history class today-Armstrong’s past, present and future legacy will forever be the fact that he was the first man to walk on the moon. Born on August 5, 1930, Armstrong became fascinated with the concept of flight at a very early age after being inspired by none other than the famous Wright brothers themselves.

performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space. Although entering the earth’s orbit was an undeniably huge accomplishment, NASA and Armstrong were only just getting started.The next challenge ahead was something bigger and greater than anything imagined before. In 1969, Armstrong and fellow astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin were called to be a part of Apollo 11, NASA’s fifth manned mission of the Apollo program and their first manned mission to the moon.

ever, Armstrong remained involved in flight and space exploration through a variety of means including teaching aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati and more recently, expressing his concerns over the changes made to the U.S. space program.

“As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember.” - N.A.

“I think we’re going to the moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It’s by the nature of his deep inner soul.

We’re required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.” - N.A.

On August 25, 2012, at 82 years old, Neil Armstrong died of complications related to a heart bypass surgery. After the news of his passing spread across the world, condolences came pouring in all the way from President Obama to Buzz Aldrin and many others.

Soon after, the Armstrong family released the following statement: “For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”

Armstrong earned a student’s pilot license at the age of 16 and soon after, enrolled in Purdue University to study aeronautical engineering. In 1949, Armstrong was called to serve in the Korean War as a U.S Navy pilot and was forced to put his studies on hold. He flew 78 combat missions during this time before leaving the service to resume his collegiate studies in 1952. Several years later, Armstrong joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and helped them with everything from highspeed aircraft testing to engineering. In 1958, NACA was revamped and renamed into to the program we know today as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.” - N.A. Despite Armstrong’s love for flight, his work never stopped him from settling down and seeking after a different type of love. In 1956, Armstrong married Janet Shearon and in 1957, they welcomed the arrival of their first son, Eric. In 1959, they added a daughter, Karen, to their family who sadly passed away of a brain tumor in 1962. One year later, the couple’s second son Mark was born. That same year Armstrong officially joined NASA’s astronaut program.

“I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.” - N.A. Armstrong relocated his family to Houston, Texas and in 1966, took part in his first NASA mission, Gemini VIII. Command pilot Armstrong and fellow pilot David Scott were launched into the earth’s orbit and

Armstrong was named the commander of the mission and successfully piloted the landing portion of their craft to the moon’s surface on July 16, 1969.

“That’s one small step for [a] man. One giant leap for mankind.” - N.A. For over two hours, Armstrong and Aldrin studied the moon by collecting samples, conducting experiments and taking many photographs that have become just about as famous as the moon landing itself. Photographs of their own footsteps and photos of the American flag they proudly placed on the surface are two that immediately come to the mind of most.

“Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.” - N.A. The trio returned to earth on July 24th and not too long after, the astronauts were treated to a ‘welcome home’ celebration like no other. The men were paraded through the streets of New York City as thick crowds looked on and cheered for America’s new heroes. For his part in the Apollo 11 mission and his work with NASA, Armstrong received a variety of well-deserved awards, honors and accolades.

“The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.”

- N.A.

Armstrong’s first wife, Janet, divorced him in 1994, after 38 years of marriage. Neil was quite content with Janet, but she felt distanced from him. He married his second wife, Carol Held Knight, the same year.

Neil Armstrong. A name forever a part of our American history, our world history and the history of that which looms in the night sky. Immortalized in our history books as the first man to walk on the moon, it goes without saying that Armstrong will never be forgotten. Armstrong’s moon walk became a symbol of technology, progression and the incredible capabilities of the human mind.

What was once only science fiction, became an incredible reality as he, in turn, became an inspiration, a leader and a hero to many.

A true role model who believed in chasing after his dreams no matter how ‘far away’ they were or impossible they seemed.

“There can be no great accomplishment without risk.” - N.A. Though he is gone, Armstrong’s legacy will live on through the story we get to tell the wide-eyed child staring up in curious amazement at the full moon in the night sky. That incredible tale of one man’s small step that changed the world forever and became the greatest leap for mankind.

> Configured in-house by the Chrysler Group’s SRT (Street and Racing Technology) team in collaboration with professional road racers, the exclusive, street-legal and singlespec 2014 SRT Viper TA (Time Attack) package is specifically built for the performance enthusiast driver who likes to exercise their machines at the more than 150 road-race courses around North America.

Less than one year since the long-awaited world debut of the new 2013 SRT Viper at the New York International Auto Show, the 2014 SRT Viper TA is set to make its public debut on March 27, 2013 on the same show floor at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.

Based on the SRT Viper model – the lightest vehicle in the lineup, the 2014 SRT Viper TA package builds upon the legendary on-

STYLETOME.COM

track capability of the American hand-built supercar using a majority of pre-developed components straight from the SRT stable, that are combined into a carefully balanced package that extract the most out of the Viper ultralow center of gravity, 50/50 weight distribution and largest contact patch in the production car world.

“The new 2014 SRT Viper TA is being engineered for the dedicated track enthusiast, who still wants to drive to the track and take their hobby to the next level” said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – SRT Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC. “We’re re-launching some of the fastest production-built cars that people can buy straight from the factory. Our engineers revised the suspension settings to refocus the Viper specifically for track duty, using a blend of components from the GTS and the

SRT models, add in the extensively developed aero package and the new Time Attack package is born.We’re not only saluting the existing capabilities of our current models, we’re also targeting another niche in our customer base with a tremendously capable track machine.”

The suspension on the 2014 SRT Viper TA is uniquely tuned and upgraded specifically for on-track usage and to maximize the performance of the Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires which are mounted on ultra-lightweight, multi-spoke Sidewinder II wheels. A twomode Bilstein DampTronic suspension system features firmer levels of damping and a smaller spread between modes than what is found on the current Viper GTS models.

Shock dampers, springs and road racing derived stabilizer bars have been retuned

TOYS

for optimal on-track performance. The standard aluminum structural X-brace is replaced with a lighter carbon fiber brace that effectively ties the four corners of the engine compartment together and contributes to the 50-percent increase in torsional rigidity and stiffness across the Viper lineup.

Based on the outstanding performance of the world-class brake system on the 2013 SRT Viper, SRT engineers are working in parallel with Brembo on a system that increases thermal capacity and optimizes heat dissipation providing improved extreme use. The brake calipers on the 2014 SRT Viper TA feature a black anodized finish with the Viper logo shown in TA Orange.

The unmistakable exterior of the SRT Viper TA features exclusive TA Orange paint with black 2D TA logos behind both front

wheels, black Stryker logo on the front fascia and matte black, ultra-lightweight Sidewinder II wheels.

An advanced exterior aerodynamics package includes carbon fiber front splitters and rear spoiler, while a carbon fiber rear applique accentuates the rear width proportions and adds another level of detail.

Under the hood of the 2014 SRT Viper TA is the handcrafted, all-aluminum 8.4-liter, mid-front V-10 overhead-valve engine. Performance ratings are 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most torque of any naturally aspirated sports-car engine in the world.

Inside, the performance driver-oriented cabin of the 2014 SRT Viper TA uses the same standard premium ballistic fabric rac-

::

ing seats from Sabelt, featuring a lightweight fiberglass shell created by a state-of-the-art resin transfer molding technology for mass reduction and long-term durability. Both driver and passenger seats can also accommodate a 3- or 6-point harness for racing belts.

The standard black interior combination includes unique orange accent stitching on the cloth seats, instrument panel (through the cowl), center stack, console, pull brake, shifter boot, shifter head, steering wheel and upper doors.

Curb weight is an estimated 3,348 pounds.

Only 33 units of the 2014 SRT Viper TA in TA Orange exterior will be built at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, beginning in third quarter 2013.<

Jake Gyllenhaal

The Bachelor Life Hollywood’s Hottest Bachelors of 2013

By Alyssa Thomann

> May has come and gone. All the flowers, candy and sappy Mother’s Day cards have been delivered to their respective mothers. Now it’s June, time to purchase those sports tickets, buy a six-pack of cold beer and send them dad’s way to show him your love and appreciation for him on Father’s Day. June is the month to appreciate the men in our lives.

Hollywood is swarming with men who will be soaking up the love from their families this Father’s Day, but we’re not interested in them right now. Lets check out some of 2013’s hottest Hollywood bachelors.

Though they may not be the main subject on Father’s Day this June 16th, perhaps they

STYLETOME.COM

will be soon, because these studs definitely will not be on the market for long.

We all know Jake Gyllenhaal as the cowboy who won the hearts of men and women everywhere when he starred in 2005 hit film, Brokeback Mountain, alongside co-star, Heath Ledger. The love story portrays the duo sent to work together on Brokeback Mountain. First they build a strong platonic friendship, but as the story goes on it leads to so much more. The world was googlyeyed over this hunk of a man from that moment on. It is no surprise that he has dated some of the most famous and beautiful women of Hollywood, but it is surprising to hear that this catch is still living the bach-

elor life. Back in 2002, Jake and Bring It On star, Kirsten Dunst were a red carpet staple.

After two years of dating the couple realized that as two busy actors, the relationship was getting to be too difficult and they split up. Another big relationship for Jake was with co-star of his movie Rendition, Reese Witherspoon. The two also dated for a solid two years before calling it quits.

This then leads us to the most popular Jake Gyllenhaal relationship with country pop star, Taylor Swift. Though their relationship seemed full of romance to the public eye, it was not enough to keep the sparks flying. Recently, however, Jake has found a new sweetie to help take his mind off of Taylor.

Sports Illustrator model, Emily DiDonato

Ryan Gosling

and Jake met at a spinning class in Manhattan and seem to have really hit it off. I wonder if this lovely lady will be the one to seal the deal with this Brokeback Mountain bachelor.

When women dream up the perfect relationship, more than half of them compare it to something exactly like the plot line of The Notebook. Not only do we all desire the beautiful love story, we desire the beautiful man who was a part of that beautiful love story- Ryan Gosling. Just his name is enough to put butterflies in most women’s stomach. His piercing blue eyes and chiseled facial features are not the only traits that make this bachelor such a stud. There is more. His one true love in life is his dog, George. Yes, I said he has a love for his dog unlike any other. After describing George as “the great love of my life,” he admits to having special paperwork for George that allows him to bring the pooch with him wherever he goes. A man who loves dogs is a man after any woman’s heart. I can’t even just stop there, there is more to this perfect human. Not only was he in a trifecta of box office hits in 2011 including, Drive, The Ides of March and Crazy Stupid Love, he is also in a band in which he sings and plays piano and guitar.What can this 32-yearold Canadian NOT do? He is the epitome of perfection and with all he has to offer, I can guarantee he will not be living the bachelor life for too much longer.

“Though they may not be the main subject on Father’s Day this June 16th, perhaps they will be soon, because these studs definitely will not be on the market for long” Let’s switch up the pace a bit and move on from Hollywood’s hottest movie stars to one of Hollywood’s hottest rock stars, Adam Levine. As lead vocalist of Maroon 5 and judge on NBC’s The Voice, Adam is definitely some sweet eye candy. It’s rumored that he is quite popular with the ladies but never one to fully settle down. This bachelor is clearly living up the single life.

No woman, or man for that matter, can deny his edgy look. Do we all remember his nude photo shoot for Cosmo UK? There is no way you can forget. Posing nude in the photos with nothing but his girlfriend at the time holding her hands to cover his private areas.Talk about sexy! The photos were for a publicity shot meant to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer for Everyman. The lucky woman behind the photos was his most recent girlfriend of two years, Russian model, Anne Vyalitsyna.

Their relationship went sour just after the second year when she released a statement about their breakup but ensured that they both still loved and respected each other, it just did not work out. Whoever is next in the cards for Adam is one lucky woman. For all us other women out here, we are just hoping for some more risqué photos of Levine’s smoking bod! <

BEST FRIENDS

Manly Gifts...

For Your Pets

By Jake White Executive Vice President & General Manager SPCA of Central Florida Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> Ever have a hard time trying to find the perfect gift for Dad on Father’s day? If he is like 78.9% of men in Central Florida, he most likely has a pet. So, why not “machoup the mutt” or “trick-out your tabby” for Dear ol’ Dad.

DAD’S DOGS Here are some ideas that will make the Man of the House happy to have a pooch.

Regardless of how small or dainty your dog is, if you cover it in camouflage, any guy will be willing to walk it. Skip the pinks and blues, go for a camouflaged leash on Amazon for about $10.

Have you ever wanted to throw like Aroldis Chapman (The San Diego Padre’s pitcher that threw a 105 MPH fastball) and make the dog fetch at insane distances? Try the Chuckit!® Ball Launcher Dog Toy. It’s like a Jai Alai toy for tennis balls. Available under $12.

Mix his love of Texan Hold’em with your dog’s intellect! Try Trixie’s Poker Box. Each individual compartment offers different challenges in order to retrieve a treat. It has lids, flaps, knobs, ropes and drawers. It has non-slip rubber feet to keep the game in place as your dog spends hours trying to get the treats. Plus, it is dishwasher safe, so you don’t have to clean it! Around $40.

STYLETOME.COM

If you’re tired of yelling at the dog to stop drinking out of the toilet bowl, give him a fun place to drink. The Petmate Replendish Waterer for Pets keeps plenty of fresh drinking water for your pet so you don’t have to keep refilling the bowl. The stainless steel base is dishwasher safe for quick cleaning. Around $95.

Are you pooped from picking up… well… you know. Try the Auggiedog Power Poop Yard Scoop. Lightweight (under 3 pounds), rechargeable battery lasts about 2 to 3 weeks, has a built-in flashlight for nighttime droppings, a training whistle with a beeper.

Best part, you don’t have to carry bags or a shovel when you are walking the dog. Under $125.

The ultimate dog gift, to ensure you come home to a fur free house. The iRobot Roomba® 780. It features the Dirt Detect™ Series 2 technology, which cleans the dirtiest areas the most often and ensures the whole floor is thoroughly vacuumed.

It has a touchpad to eliminate buttons and gives you control at the touch of your fingertips. About $600.

FATHER’S FELINES If you don’t dig dogs, but think cats are Purrfect, here are some ideas for you.

How about Catnip. Your cat doesn’t even need a medical prescription to use it. You

can legally grow it indoors or outside. Or just go to the store. There are dozens of types to choose from. And it’s all cheap!

Does Dad like to fish? Try the Grreat Choice® Fishing Rod and Reel. It is a harmless way to curb his need to fish and still allows the cat to play without destroying anything expensive. Available under $3.

If you cat is brainier than that, try the Smart Cat Peek-A-Prize toy box for cats. The cat will hunt, play and exercise. The durable wood toy box can hold treats, catnip (see two paragraphs ago) or the extra foam balls, which are included. $30.

Dogs get the Power Poop Dog Scoop. Cats get the ScoopFree Ultra Automatic Self Cleaning Litter Box. The name speaks for itself. Around $180.

The ultimate in cat related gifts… Buy your feline their own tree! Don’t settle for a wimpy little cozy cat corner. Make a statement that your cat will LOVE! The best part is Cat Tree House is located in Central Florida. Customize your order at www.pettreehouses.com.

Regardless of if you have a dog, cat, fish or fowl, you can always make a donation to the SPCA of Central Florida at www.OrlandoPets.org. All donations stay local and help homeless pets in Central Florida.<

SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAW

WHEN AGE MEANS NOTHING & EVERYTHING - BY MARK L. HORWITZ > A 20 year old man searches adult web sites to meet a potential sex partner. He finds many postings and contacts a few of them. The ones he contacts involve women who have posted nude pictures. The adult web site limits postings to those who claim to be at least 18 years old. After several on line contacts with one woman, a meeting is arranged, a relationship begins and sexual contact results.The woman claims to be 18 years old but in fact, is 17.

Sexually explicit pictures were taken and put on their computers. Law enforcement obtains the man’s computer and the pictures of the 17 year old who claimed to be 18. The 17 year old is a physically mature woman who could be in her early 20’s. Because the actual age of the female is 17, the man is arrested by federal authorities and is

charged with a crime that is punishable by not less than 15 years and not more than 30 years.

The man’s belief that the woman was 18 makes no difference. Even if the woman had false identification, her stated age means nothing and upon conviction, the defendant will be sentenced to at least 15 years in prison. Many would call such a result unfair but it is the law and an example of WHEN AGE MEANS NOTHING AND EVERYTHING. More on this next month. <

The Ringling Museum An Extraordinary Day at the Circus

By Kelly Lamano Read more at StyleToMe.com

> Feeling whimsical and wanting to learn more about the magic behind the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus? Step right up to the John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art, as it is the perfect place to visit.

More than a museum, the Ringling Museum of Art contains many exhibits changing throughout the year, an extravagant mansion and a performing arts venue. Sarasota was once the home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Show during the winter quarters.

THE MUSEUM The Museum of Art was built by John Ringling as a place to keep his personal collection of prized paintings, masterpieces and sculptures.

The halls contain beautiful antiquities and renaissance sculptures, one of which includes “David” by Michelangelo.

For more history about the Greatest Show on Earth, the Circus Museum displays a variety of artifacts, which include colorful costumes, baggage wagons, props and promotional posters. Original sketches and quirks, such as how to apply clown makeup, give the museum great character.

“The museum is full of character and history. As the age-old rule goes, no one is ever too old for the circus.”

STYLETOME.COM

The Circus Museum was built in 1948 in memory of John Ringling and was the first in the country to highlight the great history of the American circus.The world’s largest miniature circus, the Howard Bros. Circus Model, allows visitors to get a taste of what the circus was like from 1919 to 1938. The model features camels, bleachers and the circus performers, putting the visitor right in the middle of a miniature show.

A special exhibition currently going on through Sept. 16 is Circus Moderns, featuring posters from the 1910s to the 1940s to highlight famous

performers and daring stunts. The abstract art shows the developing styles of circus acts and the influence Modernism has on popular entertainment and artists.

CA’ D’ZAN, THE RINGLINGS’ MANSION Before the museum was built, the Ca’ d’Zan was established in 1925. The Ca’ d’Zan, meaning “House of John” in Venetian dialect, is quite a palace containing 41 rooms and 15 bathrooms. The five-story mansion was the home of the Ringling’s and is constructed complete with a bayfront terrace made of marble. Inside the impressive mansion is Venetian Gothic architecture, much of which the family truly admired. The mansion and the museum perfectly reflect just how extravagant the vision of the Ringling’s was.

bronze and stone copies of Renaissance, Classical and Baroque sculptures. An oddity contained in the courtyard is the Dwarf Garden. This contains limestone statues of “commedia dell’arte” figures, which was an improvised form of theater developed in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Italy. These figures are to complement the nearby Historic Asolo Theater, which was brought to Sarasota from Italy.

The museum is full of character and history, a great stop for any family or couple to enjoy. As the age-old rule goes, no one is ever too old for the circus.

For more information, visit the museum website for exhibits, programs and performances. www.ringling.org <

MEANDER THROUGH BAYFRONT GARDENS Connecting Ca’ d’Zan to the Millennium Tree Trail is the Bayfront Promenade located at the south end of the estate for visitors wanting a break in the shade. The gardens honor Mable Ringling’s formal rose garden. The Museum of Art Courtyard displays a Renaissance theme throughout with

Country Girl...

A LITTLE BIT OF COUNTRY ADDS A WHOLE LOT OF STYLE By: Ro Martinez Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> In our fast-paced world, the enduring popularity of the casual country lifestyle proves that country style is no fad. When it comes to fashion, country goes way beyond overalls, a hat, and a plaid shirt. Incorporating touches of country such as cowboy boots, a denim jacket and fun jewelry can dress up any look. Adding a little bit of country to your wardrobe can add a lot of style.

The right pair of cowboy boots can transform your outfit. Gone are the days of plain back or brown boots. Cowboy boots can take you from the work place to a night on the town with the love of your life with ease. Paired with the right clothing and accessories, cowboy boots add energy, fun, and attitude to your wardrobe. Think of Nancy Sinatra singing, “These boots are made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do…”

Kalen Keys, of Keys Country, who provided the beautiful boots, clothing and jewelry, carries a variety of styles in all sizes. Their boots are amazing. The embroidered looks are my favorite because they add an unexpected pop of color.

“Kalen Keys had a vision of bringing a little bit of country flare, mixed with the glitter of the fashion world into the South Tampa Boutique scene. She had no idea the road she was going down or what it would be like. Keys has evolved into many things, however it’s always stayed true to its country roots. Anything you buy at Keys can be worn anyway you like it, Keys just happens to believe nothing completes the look like a pair of boots. With Kalen’s creative eye for buying and her go big personality, her style is influencing

many to put a little country in their life and throw on some boots. Keys was country before country was cool…This is our country, mixed with a flare of rock n roll… we may do things a bit differently, and we like it that way. We do things Keys’ Girls style…and we think you can too. We urge you to step outside of the box, use your imagination and creativity to its fullest. ”

AT WORK In a casual business setting, boots will wake up a boring or tired outfit. Don’t get rid of last year’s clothes — update them with a pair or two of country boots. Bright, colorful boots may be more appropriate for casual offices, while the solid colors or those made of more simple materials will provide the style you are looking for in a more conservative look. “Boots are so much fun to wear! They are chic, and add certain panache to my outfits. When I

need a finishing touch with a kick, I always think of boots.” Shared Jacqueline Ziegler (photographed model).

ON A DATE Most dates are casual — dinner and a movie, or drinks after work. Adding boots to jeans and a t-shirt or a simple sundress will add style. Select a colorful pair if your outfit is plain or to coordinate and tie everything together. Boots with heels will add height and give you a dressier feel. Your date will definitely notice your fashion sense and attention to detail. “I think that cowboy boots are a wonderful accessory to have in your closet because they go with everything. You can wear them with your favorite jeans, dress or skirt! Boots are a great way to dress down an outfit, while styling it up.

Also, the best thing about them is that they never go out of style, and they last forever!”

Shared Alysa Ward (photographed model).

::

Adding a little bit of country to your wardrobe is easier than you think. Select boots for their comfort, looks, and durability, and you will be making an investment that you will enjoy for years to come. Boots provide comfort, style, and protection in a way that no other high heel shoe, sneaker, or flip-flop can. Worn with shorts, skirts (long or short), or jeans (tucked in or left out), your options are endless. Nothing pulls together an outfit better than fashionable footwear. Colorful, eye-catching boots can make you feel like a celebrity. Are you ready, boots?

Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center There will be no reason to leave as everything you desire is right here.

By Travis Joiner

> The Gaylord Palms Resort near Walt Disney World has been transformed again as one of the perfect resort hotels to take the family to Florida. It will also be a pretty good excuse to take a mini-vacation in our own backyard. While it has been around now for a few years it has that brand new look and feel thanks to a $50 million dollar facelift. With the recent renovations and additions they have successfully made exceptional the standard. As you pull up to the Gaylord you will know in an instant that guest satisfaction is their number one goal as you are greeted with a great staff that is well trained and capable. You will never have to worry about going hungry as they feature five full service restaurants as well as other lounge and bar locations that will leave you sated and smiling. If you need to be pampered just stroll down to the Forbes rated four star Relâche Spa. Plan on relaxing while you choose from an extensive list of services that they have to offer at the spa,

some with a Florida theme. The staff is both courteous and very capable of exceeding your pampering needs. One thing that has remained a constant is the awe-inspiring 4.5-acre atrium that is like walking into a three themed city under glass.Whether you are in the Everglades, St. Augustine or the Key West themed areas the one constant is the abundance of foliage and horticulture elements that will fill and please the senses.

The running waterfall and beautifully maintained nooks and crannies are a great reason to get lost inside this 63-acre resort.

The new changes and additions to the resort are the excuse you need to revisit the Gaylord Palms. The Cypress Springs Family Fun Water Park is a fully themed poolside experience. Guests can hang out with Shrek and friends or relax in a poolside family cabana. Kids, they have a multi-level tree house with twisting waterslides that you might not want to leave. There is a real interac-

tive feeling to the newly renovated pool that ensures there will always be something going on. The staff keeps the poolside fun with games and events throughout the day.

The evening brings the “Splash ‘N’ Screen” family friendly movie on a huge screen that allows you to wade in the pool or relax with the whole family poolside. The South Beach pool is an adult’s only themed area that beckons you to relax and unwind. It features fully stocked cabanas with fans and flat screen TV’s for your chilling pleasure.

The Sandbar is located right next to it if you want to sit at the bar or grab a bite poolside.

Dining out is something that comes hand in hand with vacationing and you have plenty of options to choose from. If you are in need of the island life go grab a bite at Sunset Sam’s in the Key West area of the atrium.

Come aboard the SS Gaylord sailboat and you will be transported to the Key’s with

New World Floridian cuisine and plenty of boat drinks. If an upscale buffet style meal is what the family needs after a long day at the parks there is Villa De Flora. Located in the St. Augustine Atrium, the backdrop is the famous Castillo de San Marcos fort of St. Augustine. The restaurant has an amazing European feel that brings you the seasonal flavors of the Mediterranean. On Sunday you have to go there for their award winning brunch, it is how every family or guest must end a stay at the Gaylord Palms. If a glass of wine and a serious steak is your forte head to the Old Hickory Steakhouse.

Located in the Everglades atrium, the steakhouse also has a great cheese list and a well-trained staff. After dinner drinks have to be at the bar located at the Old Hickory.

You will get expertly created cocktails and even better conversation courtesy of Ben and Scott and the rest of the staff. SORA is the sushi house located in the hotel lobby that has a wonderful and sublime tasting menu. The bar at SORA is your safety net if you are looking for a modern twist and late night martinis. The Wreckers Bar is the new kid on the block and you will be happy you found it by the South Beach Pool.Whatever game or sport you are looking for they

have you covered. There are over 50 HD TV’s and the main attraction which comes in the form of a two story, that’s right, two story 37-foot sports screen! Wherever you sit you can see the larger than life screen while munching on your favorite bar inspired snack. I recommend the chicken lollipops and one of their many beers on tap.

The Gaylord Palms boasts even more options under the atrium from boutique shopping in Market Square or a chance to join one of the 1,600 employees in feeding the alligators or koi. If outside is where you prefer to be, head to the 10,000-foot Coquina Lawn. It is a perfect place for the kids to run around while you can engage in conversation around one of the three fire pit areas located around the neatly manicured lawn. If it is time for some downtime, head to your welcoming and newly renovated room. All 1,406 have been outfitted with flat screen TV’s,Wi-Fi as well as stylish upgrades to the linens and new ergonomic chairs. I personally love the fact that if you open the door to the atrium you can hear that wonderful waterfall as you drift off to sleep after a funfilled day at the resort.

If you are going to be visiting the Gaylord Palms for business or a family getaway, they will ensure you are taken care of. Located in the perfect area if you are heading to Walt Disney World or to get a round in at Celebration Golf Course after a successful business meeting, the Gaylord Palm is the place you deserve to stay. As for someone who is fortunate to be close enough for the vacation in your own backyard, I can say it is worth it. There will be no reason to leave as everything you desire is right here and if it is not the wonderful and knowledgeable staff will find it. It is like having a glass atrium full of friends you never get to see enough.

So head to the Gaylord Palms and hang out with your friends.< 6000 W Osceola Pkwy Kissimmee, FL 34746 407-586-0000 www.marriott.com

Cameron Hughes Wines: An Excellent Find

By Todd Sorenson Read more at: StyleToMe.com

> In the expansive, sometimes expensive world of wine, is there really anything new under the sun?

You wouldn’t think so, but Cameron Hughes Wines (CHW) may be just the thing. Neither a vineyard, nor a winery with production facilities, the San Franciscobased, négociant modeled company has cultivated a significant following of wine lovers by offering very good wine at very good prices.

WHO ARE THESE GUYS? Cameron Hughes, founder of the company that bears his name, began his involvement with wine sales at an early age. He first worked for his father, a veteran of the wine business, but became disenchanted with volume selling and joined a small French importing group before deciding to create his own product. His experience with big companies showed him he could make premium wine affordable. Amazingly, most CH Wines are in the $10-15 range. Comparable quality wines typically cost twice as much.

WHAT ABOUT THE WINE?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Todd Sorenson, a resident of the Atlanta area, works in high tech as a vocation, and enjoys food and wine as an avocation.

MORE PALATE, LESS SNOB At CHW, it’s all about unpretentious appreciation for the stuff in the glass—satisfying the palate, not snob appeal. If you have the means to fill a huge cellar with Premier Grand Cru, you’ve been blessed. For most of us reality involves finding a few cases of something yummy and that real-life budget balance between quality and cost. Having personally tried 30 or 40 CH wines, I can confirm that all have been a good value.

None have disappointed. Many have delighted. They are definitely worth a try.

FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF You can purchase wine directly from www.chwine. com. The web site includes videos of Cameron tasting and commenting on the various wines, which is helpful in navigating through the number scheme labeling of the “Lot” series. The customer service, available by email (info@chwine.com) or phone (800-805-1971) is excellent. There is occasional availability at Sam’s Club® in the Orlando and Tampa area.<

Part of the “secret sauce” of CHW is their partnership with (unnamed) highend wineries and vineyards around the world, as they manage the process of crafting and bottling wines. They market the finished products as either as CHW “Lot” series (labeled simply with Lot numbers, with limited availability), or in the form of a few private brands that are available year round (sold as Cameron Hughes California, Hughes-Wellman, The Flying Winemaker, and Zin Your Face). They manage the process well enough to have earned superb reviews from Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine & Spirits, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Food & Wine Magazine, and others. CHW consistently earns Platinum and Gold medals at wine competitions.

Call for Details 407-678-4000 CosmeticDentistryFL@gmail.com www.smilebella.com

> Frequently I am asked what is Cosmetic Dentistry? Cosmetic Dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental treatment that improves the appearance of a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth, gums, and/or bite. The American Dental Association does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a formal specialty area of dentistry. Many dentists further their education by taking advanced courses with like minded dentists to be able to deliver a high level of dental skill and artistry. It is important when a patient seeks cosmetic dentistry that they seek references and be provided with comprehensive before and after photographs of patients treated by said dentist.

Patient after whitening, orthodontics, and periodontics treatment.

The wonderful thing about dentistry and its specialties is that almost all treatments are to improve not only the oral health, but will also benefit the patient cosmetically by improvement in the face and smile and contribute to an enhanced self confidence.

Each specialty has its particular expertise.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery focuses on surgical correction and enhancement of the face and facial skeleton. Orthodontics goal is to straighten teeth and correct bites and also assists the general dentist is setting up teeth for cosmetic restorations.

Periodontics assist cosmetics in various treatment modalities. One way is with

exposed tooth roots. Recession can cause sensitivity,bone, loss,and cavities as well.

A gum graft can protect the teeth from these problems . Also; gum plastic surgery can get rid of a gummy smile and set the table for a beautiful smile with periodontal health. So as you can see the dentist develops a team of experts to assist in providing the patient with the optimum cosmetic result.

HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE OF A COSMETIC DENTISTRY OPTION

The placement of Porcelain veneers: 1: In office whitening to brighten & whiten the smile.

2: Conservative preparation of the teeth.

3: Placement of bonded porcelain veneers.

This result was achieved in 3 appointments.

Sometimes the patient will have to see the Orthodontist, periodontist, and/ or the Malliofacial surgeon to set the case up for the dentist to do the cosmetics.

after

In closing as a general dentist it is imperative that I work with a team of experts and these professionals are part of my team.

> With more than 250 hotels in the Big Apple, finding “the one” can prove to be overwhelming during vacation planning. From luxury hotels to budget motels, hostels, rent-by-the-hours, and resorts, New York City is saturated with places to rest your head. My boyfriend and I decided that we needed a quick escape from Orlando and knew NYC was our perfect destination for a weekend getaway.

The 2½ hour nonstop flight sounded appealing and with so many restaurants and activities, there wasn’t much need for ahead-of-time planning. Family and friends recommended a multitude of places to stay; from the Upper East to Midtown and Downtown, around Chelsea, and through Soho, but when the Gansevoort Hotel in the Meatpacking District was suggested more than once, we decided to make the commitment. And we’re glad we did.

The Gansevoort Hotel has two locations in the city, the flagship hotel in Meatpacking and the less than 2-year-old location on Park Avenue. Both are well known for their rooftop pools and “placeto-be” rooftop bars. Known as the first and only luxury, full service resort in the Meatpacking District, Hotel Gansevoort has just about everything to offer in one of the city’s most vibrant locations.

As my boyfriend and I dashed out of the cab and rushed through the revolving doors to escape the frigid weather, we were greeted by a white-gloved doorman who, with a smiling face, graciously took our bags and directed us to the check-in concierge. The lobby was warm and inviting, donned with dark wood, modern lighting, and an exciting energy from pods of people. What caught my eye was the quaint but cool lobby bar featuring a single pool table tucked in the middle of couches and tabletops, giving a lounge-like feel to this relaxing space.

The bar had many options but I decided to quench my thirst and kickoff the weekend with what I saw most fitting…a Cosmopolitan.

We headed upstairs to nestle into one of the 186 guestrooms on property. While staying in one of the 23 stylish suites wasn’t in our weekend-getaway budget, we were pleasantly excited for our spacious room, which would serve as our home away from home for the next two days. It’s typical for NYC hotels to charge an arm and a leg for a room that barely fits those said body parts, but our Gansevoort sanctuary featured a sofa, two chairs, an abundance of closet/drawer space, a large bathroom with a tub/shower, and plenty of space to move around, all for a very reasonable price. The décor included elegant drapery, tufted headboards, and a blend of fuchsia, plum, magenta, gold and champagne pops of color. Regal, yet calming.

Our favorite part of the room…a futuristic CD player on the wall that played an impressive lineup of jazzy songs and perfect “getting ready and setting the mood” tunes, hand-selected by the Gansevoort and available for purchase, which we happened to take advantage of.

During our quick weekend escape, we chose to pamper ourselves at the Exhale Mind Body Spa located on the bottom floor of the hotel.

The 5,000 square foot space was a tranquil setting with three ambient infinity-edge hydro pools and a swanky all-glass sauna. After the 60-minute rejuvenating massage, we felt refreshed and ready to take on a day in the city. Although we didn’t indulge in some of Exhale’s other primping services/amenities – facials, brow shaping, skin care, reflexology and full-service salon – we did, grab a few healthy snacks and goodies at their retail shop.

The Gansevoort is located in one of my favorite areas of the city.

Cobblestone roads outside of the hotel and a local café with chairs on a wide walkway, made me feel like, for a moment, I was in Paris.

And the shopping in the area is top notch –All Saints, Bond No. 9,Ted Baker, Tory Burch, Spoon, Diane Von Furstenburg, Chelsea Market (a shopping mall in and of itself), just to name a few. Later that evening we ventured to the Landmarc Restaurant in the Time Warner Center for dinner and then headed over to the Mandarin Oriental to grab a few digestifs and enjoy the breathtaking views.

Our second day was filled with a bit of shopping, meeting up with friends for lunch, and walking the streets of NYC. Thank goodness that the Gansevoort had a 24-hour fitness center featuring state-

of-the-art Life Fitness cardio equipment, weight machines, free weights, and the Mind Body studio, which offered a plethora of workout classes including yoga and barre.

We didn’t take a class but figured that after checking out three of NY’s cupcakeries, we better have a little treadmill time.

black tea syrup, ginger syrup, sour and honey and poppy seeds. Punch Bowls were also featured for groups including the Connect 6 with Don Julio tequila, watermelon, lime syrup, cucumber, basil and yuzu shrub. A few glasses of that and you’ll be set to head out for a night on the town.

It’s a good thing we did workout because TOY Restaurant, located in the lobby, had our taste buds dancing when we saw the menu. I’m a sucker for Japanese/Chinese fusion cuisine, so when I saw hidden lobster dumplings with shiitake mushrooms in a coral lobster sauce, my knees got weak. The crispy rock shrimp with sweet chili sauce and spicy aioli, and the Kobe beef and foie gras tartare were also delicious small plate options.

If gallivanting around NYC at night is not your cup of tea (or alcoholic beverage), then look no further than the Gansevoort where you can head right upstairs to the rooftop where a heated pool awaits alongside Plunge Rooftop Bar and Lounge. In addition to the awe inspiring views of the Hudson River visible from Plunge’s outside terrace area, their was an interior lounge featuring VIP tables with white leather sofas, wall-to-wall windows, soaring 20-foot ceilings, intoxicating beats, beautiful people, and electrifying energy, which make you feel like you are partying like a rock star in Miami.

And if Plunge isn’t enough, the Provocateur Lounge and Café attached to the hotel offers another option for drinking and dancing and features a private 80-person balcony skybox that is suspended above the dance floor.

Along with an extensive sushi menu, main plates that caught my eye were the Wagyu Tenderloin with parsnip puree, wilted watercress and TOY’s special steak sauce. The Cantonese White Fish with ginger and black bean sauce sounded divine as well.The drink options were the result of a genius mixologist who paired Bombay Sapphire East with

When we had enough fun for one night, we headed down to our room and melted into our delicious sheets. We lowered the mechanical window shade until all the city lights were no longer, and fell into a deep slumber dreaming about all the shopping, spa services, food, cupcakes, and dancing we had indulged in during our weekend excursion.

It was back home the next morning, but with smiles on our faces, for we knew that another weekend vacation to one of the best cities in the world, and of course to the Gansevoort, was in our near future.

DON’T MISS THE BEAT

as Macklemore was born Ben Haggerty in Seattle, Washington.

Chart-topping Independent Artist, Macklemore

By Riesa Pascal Read more at: StyleToMe.com

“Music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me; what has importance, what has a value.”

> With two songs currently on the Billboard Top 10, turn on the radio for a few minutes and you’re bound to eventually hear a song by hip-hop and R&B singersongwriter, Macklemore. What makes Macklemore’s airtime and commercial success so unusual is that giant step along the road to fame the Macklemore very casually walked right over. Unlike Macklemore’s fellow chart topping artists such as Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and Justin Timberlake, Macklemore is not signed to any major record label. It is widely understated how amazing it truly is for an artist like Macklemore--who started at the very bottom--to have achieved such fame and success as an independent artist. This incredible tale of rags to riches started on June 19, 1983 when the artist we know

Jimmy Eat World Album: Damage

In 2000, Macklemore recorded and selfdistributed an EP titled Open Your Eyes.At the time he was going by the stage name Professor Macklemore. In January of 2005, he changed that name to just Macklemore and released his first full-length album,The Language of My World. From 2005-2009, Macklemore dropped off the music scene due to struggles with substance abuse. In 2008, Macklemore admitted himself into rehab for drug-addiction, alcoholism and related obsessive behaviors.

“I’ve always struggled with being balanced. It was always one side or the other...The simple answer is that I’m an addict. It was like that

> DON’T MISS THE BEAT

Hanson Ablum: Anthem

Haggerty was only 6 years old when he first became interested in hip-hop through the alternative hip-hop group, Digital Underground. Although his family supported his passion for music, they were not musically inclined themselves and Haggerty grew up surrounding himself with other like-minded friends who shared his passion. Being underage and unable to purchase music with parental advisories, Haggerty and his friends would spend the summer listening to the radio under tents and creating mixtapes of the songs they heard. At 14, Haggerty began writing his first song lyrics and further delving into the hip-hop world that he had already immersed himself into.

Around that time, Haggerty picked up the nickname Macklemore from friends. As he began to explore the world of rap and develop his skills, he listened to various hiphop artists for influence. One such band that is still performing today being the Wu-Tang Clan.

with drugs, it was like that with women, it was like that with material objects. It’s always been this all or nothing type of thing. I’m like no, I can’t feed into that at all or I’m completely consumed and obsessive... I’ve felt so many times what it’s like to feel failure. What’s like to let people that love you down.” Says Macklemore during a YouTube interview.

Perhaps it was that struggle of defeat and the resulting shame that gave Macklemore the drive and passion to recover from his addictions and return to his music even better than before. In September 2009, Macklemore released The Unplanned Mixtape and in October 2010, he teamed up with producer Ryan Lewis to create the VS. Redux EP. Macklemore used his prior experience with substance abuse to create the mixtape’s critically acclaimed song “Otherside” which contains samples of the famous Red Hot Chili Peppers song of the same title. Sadly, Macklemore relapsed in December of 2011 after coming down with a cold and being prescribed codeine cough syrup which he eventually began to abuse. Unfortunately, overcoming addiction isn’t something that happens overnight for anyone and Macklemore is no exception. It’s a constant battle that addicts must fight to win on a daily basis. Despite his relapse, however, Macklemore showed the world he had no intentions of staying down. He got back up, brushed himself off, stepped into the recording studio and released The Heist, his first debut album with his now permanent collaborator Ryan Lewis and the one that would rocket them both to stardom.

True or false?

NO membership dues for the alumni association.

Local chapters and clubs make it easy to socialize and build professional connections.

The perfect start to fall festivities are UCF Alumni Indoor Tailgates, beginning Aug. 29, and Homecoming week, Nov. 3-9.

They’re all true.

“I never wanted to be an underground rapper. I never set out to just rap for the underground. I hate that term. That was never my intention. My intention was to make music that spoke to people and not just forty people... like, hundreds and thousands, if not millions of people connecting to what I’m writing about.”

The Heist reached the #1 position on the US iTunes albums chart within hours of its release and peaked on the US Billboard 200 at #2. The undeniably catchy hit single “Thrift Shop” topped the Billboard Hot 100 list for six weeks which gave Macklemore and Lewis their first #1 hit in the US and a guarantee they’ll never have to step foot in a thrift shop again. As a recovering addict, the future won’t be easy for Macklemore, but with the support of his friends, his fans and his passion for music which gives him strength, I firmly believe he and Lewis will continue to achieve great things together. <

ARE YOU A STROKER? LIKE MANY PRO’S, CAR SALESMEN HAVE THEIR OWN PATOIS. HERE ARE A FEW TERMS THEY THROW AROUND IN THE SHOWROOM.

By Tony Quiroga Read more at StyleToMe.com

1. UP Any potential buyer.

2. LAYDOWN A customer who offers little resistance and purchases a car at the list price or more. Also known as an “ace.”

3.PAPERBOY A buyer who comes in with an advertisement or printouts from the internet.

Also known as a “nerd.”

4.STROKER A shopper who acts interested but has no means or intention of buying a car.

5.BE-BACK A shopper who claims he’ll come back, but may or may not return.

6. F.D.R.S These initials stand for “filthy diseaseridden swine.” Used to describe a buyer with horrible credit. often used as inter-salesmen code to name the type of loan, as in, “you qualify for our F.D.R.S. loan!” Such a customer is also referred to as a “roach.”

7. THIRD BASEMAN OR THIRDBASE COACH The “expert” a buyer brings along to provide advice on the deal. Also known as a “lawyer.”

8.GOLD BALLS A customer with excellent credit. The opposite of an F.D.R.S. 9. SLASHER A temporary salesperson brought in for his high-pressure sales acumen during a short-term or weekend sale.

10. $500 SANDWICH Sales lost to a lunch break.

STYLETOME.COM

11. F&I It stands for “finance and insurance,” the dealership department to which customers are handed after the sale, and where “back-end” products such as financing, extended warranties, and other soft add-ons get pushed on the buyer. Often the place where dealerships rake in the most profit.

12. LOT LIZARD A salesperson who stalks customers as they pull into the dealer’s lot.

13. 040, 149, ETC. When salesmen want to indicate a customer’s race to another employee, they use the brand’s paint codes.

14. HOME RUN A salesman’s extremely profitable deal that includes a car sold at full list price or more. It may include a lucrative financing kickback and a trade-in purchased for less than its value.

15.DE-HORSING Taking the keys and driving away the trade-in “to assess its value.” This

leaves the buyer with no means of leaving the dealership.

16. A KEY AND A HEATER A car with no options but an enticing price. Also known as a “stripper,” “teaser,” or “loss leader.”

17. MOP AND GLOW An extra-cost paint sealant or fabric protector of dubious value.

18. SPIFF Any bonus or incentive paid by the factory to the salesman or the dealership for moving a slow-selling car.

Generally not disclosed to the buyer.

19. WHACK ‘EM When the F&I department successfully loads the buyer down with window waxing, paint sealant, nitrogeninflated tires, dentless paint-removal package, etc.
