PUBLISHER’S NOTE
Dear Readers, As part of our line of business, one of the topics of discussion is the future of print magazines in the digital age. I firmly believe that great content will always matter. No matter how time changes the magazine industry, it is the unchanging desire of readers to stay culturally informed and fashionably styled that keeps us going. From my frequent visits to newsstands, I’ve noticed that high-end magazines— especially those who cover the luxury lifestyle—are going strong, and might even be stronger than ever. Only those who can deliver the never-ending cravings of the wealthy for the new and exciting will prosper and rise. We at Tampa Style understand that, partly because we are fortunate enough to live this lifestyle. We are one of you, and you are one of us. We know that there are the Millennials — the trendsetting youth who get most of their information and seek their guilty pleasures via their mobile devices. We have not forgotten you! To deliver our publication in a way that meets everyone right where they are, we have embarked on an adventurous new project: our newly redesigned website and our expanded social media feed. It’s everything you Millennials have always wanted in a magazine experience, with exciting newsfeeds and videos on our StyleTV portion of our website. We have also included our new “Shopping Cart” feature, where you can find fun fashion trends through our sourcing of wellpriced and hip clothes. Happy shopping! Let us know what you think so we can make your Style experience even better. Speaking of fashion, this year’s September issue is a reflection of the Fall Fashion styles for the season. Discover a great monochrome fashion spread with sophisticated looks, such as the uniquely ‘Moschino’ line and some other great designers. This issue is definitely a must-buy for this autumn season. Equally sophisticated is our look at those professionals you want to trust when you need them… the Legal Elite, a great collection of Tampa’s finest Attorneys. Please give us your feedback on your experience of hiring a counselor at law. My hope is that this issue inspires you, takes you places you haven’t been before, and makes you feel good. Email me and let me know! And one more thing… Don’t forget to register to vote! November is coming, along with election season. Sincerely,
Sven J. Bode Publisher

TRAVEL ‘N STYLE
When expatriate novelist Ernest Hemingway arrived in Key West in 1928,
his items of business included obtaining a spare apartment with his second wife, making a name for himself in the bars among Duval Street, and finishing the painstaking process of perfecting what would become one of America’s greatest novels, A Farewell to Arms. Perhaps your own aspirations of a stay in Key West may not be as legendary as those of the world-travelled writer, but there’s one thing Hemingway and every potential Key West tourist have in common: a thirst for life and a town that can quench it. Today, you can explore the treasure of Hemingway’s Key West in the modern luxury that now outlines the city; historical buildings now house sights and sounds of Florida’s present, while new shops and experiences still ring of traditions past. A relaxing getaway to The Gates Hotel provides for a calming atmosphere to enjoy a weekend, or a couple of weeks in beautiful Key West with all of its new and old world charm. Located at the point of entry to Key West, The Gates Hotel is a classic take on the unique culture and stunning beauty of the ocean-laced city. The secluded location only adds to the relaxing flair of the hotel, and trolley rides from the hotel are available to take you straight to Duval street and the center of Key West excitement. Celebrating local art and modern architecture, sophistication finds its way into every square inch of The Gates. The boutique aesthetic of the lobby creates an intimate escape to relax after a day discovering the island. Calming neutral tones and ocean colors captivate guests in a sea of serenity, while modern accents cool off adventures after a long day in the sand and sun. Minimalism is taken to the next level at The Gates as natural elements create a subtle space for guests to escape from the business of daily life, featured in wooden wall design, ethereal flooring, and thoughtful use of graceful hues. Lazy afternoons in the Florida heat are given an air of elegance at The Gates private pool, an oasis of relaxation not far from the hotel’s dining and drinking options. Take a dip with a drink in hand as quiet hours spent poolside turn into romantic memories of paradise.
Just a few steps takes you to Rum Row, The Gates’ well-stocked bar, where you can sip on tastes of Key West such as a variety of rum-soaked cocktails. Also outside, the Blind Pig offers delicious and healthy options on location in a food truck-style experience. Enjoy cuisine inspired by Key West’s eclectic tastes of Caribbean, Cuban, and Floridian culture in the form of small bites and tapas. In true Key West fashion, The Gates fills each room with work from award winning photographer Jorge de la Torriente of De La Gallery. His work captures the vibrancy of journeying to new destinations of nature and beauty.
FROM RUM AND CIGARS TO SEAFOOD AND THE CITY, THERE’S AN ENDLESS BOUNTY FOR YOU TO DISCOVER IN KEY WEST. Jorge de la Torriente’s work found in The Gates can be enjoyed at De La Gallery, where modern exposition of color meets timeless island culture. The gallery has become a locally-renowned site on Duval Street. This road is a work of art itself, lined with buildings that could tell as many stories as only Hemingway could write. The Hemingway favorite Sloppy Joe’s Bar may be the most famous location on Duval, but many new eateries have raised the bar in Key West. Nine One Five restaurant and wine bar offers an elegant place to enjoy a glass or bottle of beautiful wine, exciting cocktails and delicious cuisine while taking in the excitement of the island’s late nights. If you prefer a more Hemingway-esque drink, your Key West adventure must include a stop to the Key West First Legal Rum Distillery and chat with founder/distiller Paul Menta who embodies quintessential Key West. This distillery combines the best flavors to bring thirsty travelers delicious white rums, made with Florida sugar cane and infused with the flavors of coconut, creme brûlée, and key lime. Their specialty rums are distilled six times filtering out fusel oils that result in headaches to ensure that your drinking experience is unlike any other. The distillery’s rum can also be enjoyed right at The Gates Hotel’s Rum Row Bar. 23 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
When Hemingway wasn’t busy writing, if rum was in one hand, it was probable that a cigar was in the other. Keep the traditional Key West experience going with a trip to Rodriguez Cigar Factory, where Danny DiFabio, grandson of the late Angel Rodriguez, now heads up the family’s Key West operation, and where his grandmother, Daniela Rodriguez, still hand rolls hundreds of cigars each day. You can get a taste for exceptional hand-rolled cigars made with cured and aged vintage tobacco leaves in the authentic Cuban style. Founded in Key West in 1984, the factory is the oldest operating cigar manufacturer in town, allowing guests to enjoy a variety of cigars in the cigar garden, a picturesque locale for those craving to breathe in a breath of Hemingway’s Key West. A few puffs of a hand-rolled cigar might get you in the mood for adventure, and Fury Water Adventures offers catamaran tours fit for whatever you fancy. Chill the night away on a sunset tour, or excite your toes with a trip on Fury’s glass bottom boat as marine life swims right below your view. Perhaps a bit of a closer perspective is what you’re looking for in your ocean adventure. If that’s the case, visit SUP Key West, where you can have an exciting stand up paddleboard tour of the Key West backcountry. Get up close and personal with wildlife as you take a look at tropical fish, sea stars, and jellyfish, as well as different species of aquatic birds. Even learn from the best with customized paddleboard lessons. For seekers of the time-honored tradition of soaking up the adventurous life, there’s no place on the island quite like COAST. Partnering with The Gates Hotel, COAST offers a blend of land and sea in a variety of activities for Key West enthusiasts, from bike tours to art classes. COAST’s Stock Rock ’N Roll bicycle tours are an authentic way to take in the joys of Key West’s laid-back personality. (Just note: It gets very hot in the summer months, so if you can’t take the heat do it when the weather is cooler!) This tour includes a stop at The Key West Botanical Garden and takes travelers to Stock Island. Art lovers can participate in screen printing classes at the COAST Studio, as well as taking in a look and listen of local artists and musicians.

Founder Billy Kearins created COAST in an effort to live an endless summer, riding the lines between land and sea and work and play. He specializes in design projects, builds skateboards and surfboards, and is the head visionary for the classes, projects, and showcases held at COAST. Keeping the back roads alive with adventure, an afternoon at COAST pairs nicely with lunch at Hogfish Bar & Grill, the perfect place to try fresh seafood with seaside views. This spot is a favorite for locals, with outdoor dining and live music in a casual atmosphere.
IF WE’VE LEARNED ANYTHING FROM HEMINGWAY, THERE’S MUCH TO WRITE ABOUT—LET ALONE ENJOY— IN THIS FLORIDA GETAWAY TOWN. This is just the beginning of the seemingly endless dining options of Key West. If you like to start your adventures early, make time to indulge in breakfast at Blue Heaven before your explorations begin. Don’t be fooled by the chicken and cats wandering around or the quirky artwork—this restaurant takes its food very seriously. Breakfast favorites such as Eggs Benedict and Shrimp and Grits combine downhome charm with quality flavor worthy to make Blue Heaven a Key West staple. Oysters are on the menu at The Half Shell Raw Bar, where you can get a real old-fashioned taste
of the Key West life. Enjoy dinner on the docks as you try seafood that has been plated within hours of being caught. For larger parties, Catered Affairs is a sophisticated choice for simple and delicious dining. If you’d like to call Key West your destination for corporate functions, family gatherings, or weddings, Catered Affairs brings the beauty of the island and high quality service to your event. Executive Chef Lloyd Gould and Catering Coordinator Amy Lay provide you with the Key West flavors and catering needs you need to throw the best party on the island. After your journey of finding all that Key West has to offer, stop by The Gates’ sister property, 24 North Hotel. Step back in time as you tour this island escape, which is the perfect marriage of Key West and Cuba. It may only be 90 miles away, but 24 North makes the paradise of Cuba seem even closer. Reminisce the days of Hemingway in Key West’s prime as you wander through paradise poolside at 24 North. From rum and cigars to seafood and the city, there’s an endless bounty for you to discover in Key West. Pack a fedora, take along your loved one, and maybe even a laptop. If we’ve learned anything from Hemingway, there’s much to write about—let alone enjoy—in this Florida getaway town. It’s time for you to experience it yourself.

ARE WE PROGRAMMING OUR OWN EXTINCTION? THE RISE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE By Gina Ritch
28 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
TECH
As 2016 advances, As 2016 advances,
possible that famed futurist Ray Kurzweil’s term, “intelligent machines” eventually become capable of vetoing human judgement? At the current rate, that is exactly what can happen. Similarly to the way humankind outsmarted the Neanderthal, A.I. could eventually outsmart humankind. While A.I. is still in its beginning stages of development, researchers are looking into precautions that will protect and keep humans in control.
Intelligent software and algorithms learn at a much faster rate than humans can and software is now being coded in a way that is not simply dumping massive amounts of data into the program, but creating software in which a computer can actually learn on its own, similar to our own learning habits -- through trial and error. By playing endless rounds of games, watching hours of videos, and sorting through countless amounts of data, computers learn languages, identify objects, and make predictions at an alarmingly rapid rate.
This concern for A.I. safety is what led Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, and Sam Altman, president of Y-Combinator, to fund and operate the billion-dollar, non-profit research company, Open A.I.. Musk has long called artificial intelligence our “biggest existential threat” and this nonprofit is his way of safeguarding our future from that peril. The institution’s main purpose is making A.I. research, learning, and patents freely available to any programmer that wants to take part in Deep Learning. Most importantly, it is to create a positive influence that benefits humanity by making it open and avA.I.lable to share technological advances. As A.I. slowly moves towards human-level thought processes and capabilities, this organization is building a platform for future A.I. exploration to create the best possible outcome. Open A.I. is seeking to put the power of Deep Learning into the hands of everyone that is interested in learning it, for free. Being non-profit, with no shareholder obligations, it is solely used for the betterment and bringing value to society. As with any new venture, there are skeptics to this free, machine-learning research institution. Speculators worry about those who seek to use their Open A.I. instructed robots for harm. Open A.I. founders believe, however, that those using this technology for good will significantly overshadow those using it for harm. The alternative to all the brilliant minds behind Open A.I. working for free sharing, would be billion-dollar corporations, like Google and Facebook, monopolizing the super-intelligence without sharing their advancements. Elon Musk and Open A.I. researchers believe that making this information free and readily available will help control this advanced technology, before it becomes out of control. Fingers crossed.
artificial intelligence (A.I.) is exploding with interest in what seems like all scientific fields. Digital giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple are at every technological gathering discussing the development and the future of A.I. This technology, still in its infancy, is evolving faster than ever and is being adopted quickly into society, whether we like it or not.
The first wave of A.I. is already plugged into our connected world. Social media sites scan through our searches, likes, and posts, creating profiles of us to feed us appealing advertisements. Our personal devices recommend friends and anticipate what we are going to search for cued by only a couple of words. At times, the suggestions and predictions our gadgets give us are so on target, it can be a little scary. Do our digital agents know us better than we know ourselves? Digital assistants such as Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana, and Amazon’s Alexa are now increasingly sophisticated and high-tech. Apple is making big changes with their new iOS 10 update this fall and is opening up Siri to app developers for the very first time. Through 3rd party apps, Siri will soon be activated to assist in more tasks than ever before. Voice commands like paying a bill, calling an Uber, or looking up directions will soon be understood and carried out much more accurately. For the medical fields, A.I. may be a key factor in future cures. Algorithms will be assisting in future technology that will predict cancer sooner, and will hopefully solve many medical mysteries using A.I. software’s non-stop pattern recognition and tireless learning. Intelligent computers may benefit the scientific and medical realms, but is it possible to stop these agents from learning too much? Movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey and I, Robot allow for paranoid thoughts of our digital assistants becoming out of hand and ultimately spelling out our doom. Is it

H YPERCAR A s t o n M a r t i n A M - R B 0 0 1 H y p e rc a r Reichman and Newey are working closely on all aspects of the project, striving to ensure the AM-RB 001 is an unprecedented fusion of form and function: a car engineered to be entirely useable and enjoyable as a road car, but with the capability to perform like no road car before it on a race track. For those who crave an even more intensely focused driving experience, a track-only AM-RB 001 is also in development, the projected performance of which is in line with that of today’s LMP1 Le Mans sports prototypes.
Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing are today revealing their ground-breaking hypercar; codenamed AM-RB 001.
The product of a unique Innovation Partnership between the British luxury brand and eminent F1TM team, this ambitious, uncompromising and wholly extraordinary collaboration combines the vision and skills of two world-leading brands to create a road car the like of which has never been seen before.
Built around a lightweight carbon fibre structure, the AMRB 001 boasts truly radical aerodynamics for unprecedented levels of downforce in a road-legal car. Thanks to the genius of Newey’s design much of this downforce is generated through underfloor aerodynamics, leaving Reichman free to craft a pure yet breathtaking dramatic form that elegantly expresses both the AMRB 001’s cutting-edge dynamism and the unmistakable essence of Aston Martin.
The three men charged with realising this shared vision are Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing’s Chief Technical Officer and the world’s most successful F1TM designer, Marek Reichman, Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer and David King, VP and Chief Special Operations Officer. Together they spearhead a formidable alliance. One that combines more than a hundred years of specialism – both with heritage, making some of the world’s most beautiful and charismatic GT cars, and with technological brilliance and relentless pursuit of speed and efficiency that has seen Red Bull Racing excel in the ferociously competitive world of Formula One.
Uncompromising in all respects, the AM-RB 001 is a bespoke machine from the tires up. It will be built by David King and 30

While boundary-pushing performance is clearly of paramount importance, so too is exceptional efficiency and packaging. Newey’s unrivalled knowledge has enabled the AM-RB 001 to be extremely light and compact, yet offer genuine comfort and space for driver and passenger and house a V12 engine.
Revolutionary AM-RB 001 hypercar the result of technical partnership between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing Powered by a new, high-revving naturally aspirated V12 engine Mid-engined, two-seats, lightweight construction, 1:1 power-to-weight ratio Road and track-only versions to be available
his team at Gaydon, in the purpose-built facility created for Aston Martin’s original hypercar, the One-77. More details of the AM-RB 001’s technical specification will be revealed in due course, but its heart is a new, mid-mounted, high-revving, naturally aspirated V12 engine with the potency to achieve a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio; 1 bhp per kilo of weight. To cope with the extreme aerodynamic loadings at high speeds yet deliver the onroad usability and comfort levels that sit at the heart of the concept, the AM-RB 001’s suspension system will feature innovative technology and employ principles honed by Newey over his thirty year career. Likewise, the transmission is a clean-sheet design conceived by Newey and developed by Red Bull Advanced Technologies.
Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing’s Chief Technical Officer, says of the AM-RB 001 project: “I’ve long harboured the desire to design a road car. The formation of Red Bull Advanced Technologies brought me a step closer to realising that ambition, but I believed we should work with an automotive manufacturer. Aston Martin was at the top of my list. The synergy between Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin is clear. I knew Red Bull Racing had the ability to handle the pure performance aspects, but Aston Martin’s experience of making beautiful, fast and comfortable GT cars is of great benefit to the project. I’ve always been adamant that the AM-RB 001 should be a true road car that’s also capable of extreme performance on track, and this means it really has to be a car of two characters. That’s the secret we’re trying to put into this car - the technology that allows it to be docile and comfortable, but with immense outright capabilities.” David King, Aston Martin’s VP and Chief Special Operations Officer, adds: “Working at Aston Martin means you get to be a part of some truly special projects, but the AM-RB 001 is a dream - a true once-in-alifetime opportunity. Of course it’s a huge engineering challenge, too, but the gamechanging objectives of this programme have a uniquely energising effect on everyone involved. We have world-class people and facilities at Gaydon. We’re all motivated to achieve great things and take Aston Martin to the absolute pinnacle of road car performance.” Marek Reichman, Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer, says of the AM-RB 001: “Working so closely alongside Adrian and an organisation like Red Bull Racing is a fabulous experience. By definition the objectives we’ve set for the car ensures there has never been an Aston Martin - or any car, actually - quite like the AM-RB 001. The shared challenge has been finding that magical tipping point where we achieve the most efficient engineering solutions and the most beautiful styling solutions without

any compromises. My personal challenge has been expressing the AM-RB 001’s extraordinary performance and the unique way in which it delivers that performance. Its style reflects its revolutionary nature, while possessing the form and beauty that makes it unmistakably an Aston Martin.” Dr Andy Palmer, Aston Martin President and CEO, commented: “The AM-RB 001 is a truly remarkable project and something of which I’m extremely proud. To have Aston Martin working alongside Adrian Newey, Red Bull Racing and the invaluable assistance of project partner AF Racing AG is an extraordinary creative collaboration. One that unites the very best of road and race car thinking. As the project gathers pace its clear the end result will be a truly history-making hypercar that sets incredible new benchmarks for packaging, efficiency and performance and an achievement that elevates Aston Martin to the very highest level.” Christian Horner, Team Principal, Red Bull Racing said: “Red Bull Racing has always steered an innovative course in our ongoing development of a competitive Formula One car. The conception and modus operandi of Red Bull Technologies has been to apply our expertise to truly progressive projects and partnerships. Our relationship with Aston Martin and the realisation of the AM-RB 001 is pioneering and borne of our synergies and desire to break new ground. The AM-RB 001 is the inspirational product of this collaborative spirit.” Continuing the on-going Innovation Partnership, the task of engineering the AM-RB 001 will be shared between Q by Aston Martin Advanced and Red Bull Advanced Technologies, with production taking place at Aston Martin’s Gaydon facility. Total volume will be between 99 and 150 road cars inclusive of all remaining prototypes and 25 track-only versions, with first deliveries commencing in 2018. Pricing not disclosed at this time.

is nothing short of dramatic and should be adored as such. Complete the look by pairing it with a deep lip color such as Christian Louboutin Eton Moi Velvet Matte.
From the return of chokers, Doc Martens, and the denim jacket, my selfies in my twenties are quickly starting to resemble my Kodak camera mirror pictures from middle school. Fashion isn’t the only trend that’s making a comeback from the 90s. Beauty trends, especially in terms of makeup styles are also beginning to resemble techniques we have seen before in the past. The most notable of these styles that we are seeing for this fall is the return of the heavy goth style eyeliner. These techniques are bound to make a statement as well as catch a few eyes, no pun intended.
Chunky Underline Avril Lavigne is probably sitting in her 5 million dollar Los Angeles home singing “Hey, Hey, You, You, I Love Your Eyeliner” because her signature chunky underline look is once again becoming a hit in the makeup world. The best part about this trend? It is simple to do yourself ! Simply apply a little more eyeliner than you normally would and then use a brush to smudge the look out giving yourself an edgy look that works great for day or night.
Graphic Black Eyes This look was a huge hit at NYFW, especially with Oscar de la Renta. When perfected this look showcases a thick wing that begins about mid eye with an arch above the lid and connecting to the peak. The Graphic Black Eye is the perfect accent for a fall look and pairs well with light face makeup making your eyes the center focus.
Statement Liners Probably the most bold of these fall eye trends is the statement liner. Designers such as Marc Jacobs, Giamba, and Kenzo all chose this look at NYFW and dominated the runway with it. This look is a really creative one and can be achieved in a variety of ways but is most commonly seen as the addition of more outlines around the eyes and the illusion of multiple eyebrows. While this look is great for high fashion like NYFW, it can also be a fun look to try on your friends at your next girls night in.
Fierce Geometrics This is a bold version of the basic cat eye look. Great for a night out on the town, this look is done by simply adding sweeping lines and straight angles in a variety of directions around the cat eye. This look 32

FALL FASHION AT 900F RUNWAY TRENDS THAT WE CAN WEAR IN FLORIDA By Dubraska Lima What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear “Fall Season”? To me it is HOT WEATHER. Living in Florida and trying to be fashionable at the same time, especially during this time of the year, can be difficult. But it doesn’t have to be like that; actually, we can enjoy the weather, while also being trendy, I promise! Here are some must have items to add to your wardrobe this fall to make your outfit totally accurate with the season, fashion forward, and easy to wear with the temperature in our city:
THE EDGY NECKTIE I know it sounds crazy, but there are many ways to use a scarf as an edgy necktie to add more attitude to your outfit without feeling like you’re dressed in the wrong season. Get that silk scarf you have had in your closet since last winter, and give your look an edgy touch with a necktie. This look is best achieved by tying the scarf in either the french knot or similar to the way a flight attendant might wear her uniform. The idea with this accessory is to complement a casual look and make it more elegant for a brunch with your friends.
WIDE-LEG PANTS These are instant body transformers! You’re going to look skinnier and taller immediately, but the most important part, because of the design and the fabric used for these pants, is that you can spend the entire day with them on without even noticing the hot weather. Probably the most comfortable style option for this fall.

FASHION
MULE SHOES The weather is still too hot Florida, so, we can’t take out our boots just yet. But we do have a new option this fall: mule shoes. These elegant shoes are your best opportunity to be comfortable during a long day outside. Get them in rose or navy for a romantic style, perfect to use during the daylight hours.
OFF-THE-SHOULDER TOP Designers around the world are once again giving a chance to OneShoulder and Off-The-Shoulder tops, and the result is not only beautiful but very useful. No matter if you’re out for shopping or for a date, with either of these tops you have multiple possibilities. Combine either of these with high-waisted pants or with a jean skirt and you’re all set with a look that’s fun, flirty, and totally in season.
DRESS-UP BOHEMIAN A midi dress for work? Yes. The sun and the hot temperature is excuse enough to wear a maxi or midi dress, but that doesn’t mean you have to look like you’re going to the beach. Add a light blazer and anklestrap heels for a classy attire.

OUR TOWN
By Allison Tankersley Living in the sunshine state, Floridians are accustomed to
seeing beautiful beaches and lakes, some even having them in their very own backyard. On any given day we have the opportunity to wander outside with family and friends and enjoy an alluring oasis that most Northerners go to bed dreaming about. Yet a recent lack of protection of our ecosystem is leaving these sensational bodies of water plagued with disaster in the form of a toxic algae bloom. A non-profit environmental law organization, Earthjustice, explains this toxic algae bloom as being a direct result of fertilizer sewage and manure pollution that has gone unregulated by the state. The result of these poor regulation standards is comparable to “adding miracle grow to the water and it triggers massive algae outbreaks.” This fast acting spread of algae, which has been documented to have fortyfour confirmed blooms as of a survey done on June 30th is especially alarming because of the toxicity within some of the more blue green algae. These toxins become a risk to the public’s health and if they are touched or even inhaled can cause a variety of illnesses targeting the liver, skin, and gastrointestinal and nervous systems. This green water gunk is no longer just a slimy eyesore but is also now becoming a danger to the public. So far these outbreaks have been found in the following counties: Martin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach, and Lee, as well as on the southwest coastline. The Department of Environmental Protection is working hard to monitor and eliminate the amount of this algae currently found in Florida’s waterways. However, there is no quick solution to a problem like this. Right now the state is focusing on controlling water flows to prevent any further spread. However, many environmentalists agree that the only way in which to not see a problem like this again is through restoration and the addition of more regulations on our waterways that will keep the pollutants from ever entering in the first place.
THIS GREEN WATER GUNK IS NO LONGER JUST A SLIMY EYESORE BUT IS ALSO NOW BECOMING A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC.

BUMPED FROM YOUR FLIGHT? WHAT’S THE DEAL! show? And do you have rights as a paying, responsible traveler who purchased a ticket well in advance? The answer according to the Department of Transportation is yes, you do have rights. But it is not illegal to overbook; the airline has a basic right to oversell. So the DOT has established some rules to try and find a happy compromise between the bumped-passenger and the (oh-so-rude) airlines.
You’ve waited for this moment for as long as you can remember. New York Fashion Week. You’ve got your after parties lined up, spend WAY too much on digs at a hotel where you know the scene is on, you’re decked in black and ready to board your flight. Hmm, you think to yourself, this flight sure is packed. Then you hear your name called over the intercom. “We’re sorry” the agent tells you, “we overbooked and we don’t have a seat assignment for you. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but we’re happy to offer you $500 dollars and we’ll put you on the next flight out tomorrow morning.” WHAT. But that hotel room is $800 dollars a night! (Hey, it’s Fashion Week.) You toiled for months over what to wear to the pre-party tonight! How can they do this?!
First, let’s understand why the airlines overbook: they are simply trying to compensate for the “no-shows.” I’m sure we are all aware that airlines have a dramatic history of fiscal rises and falls – the ubiquitous “Chapter 11 Bankruptcy” is almost synonymous with airlines; they are true slaves to the health of the financial marketplace, particularly when it comes to oil prices and the overall economic stability of companies and individuals, which of course, promotes travel. That being
So what IS the deal with overbooking? Is it just a brazen, arbitrary estimation by the airline of how many travelers won’t

said, the bottom line matters. A lot. So each flight has to be profitable; we can’t just have planes flying around with the seats half empty (isn’t it lovely when it happens, though?). The DOT understands this, and allows for the airline to oversell the seats. However, if all the passengers show up, the DOT requires the airline to ask passengers to give up their seats voluntarily, in exchange for compensation, usually for a voucher for a fare similar to the one you paid. But when no one wants to “give it up,” the involuntary “bumping” begins. If you happen to be one of the unlucky passengers to get booted from the flight against your will, you are required to receive a written Statements of Rights; included in this should be an explanation of how that airline decides who gets an oversold ticket. Some factors that the
airline may consider is the price paid for the ticket, whether you were late checking in and whether you have a reserved seat assignment (more difficult to do these days). Regardless of the reason, in most situations the airline is required to compensate the passenger what’s called “Denied Boarding Compensation.” The agent should be able to issue you a check right away, at the gate, in the amount of up to $1300.
FIRST, LET’S UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRLINES OVERBOOK: THEY ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE “NO-SHOWS”. The DOT recommends arriving to the airport as early as you can to guarantee you get on that plane and reminds us that every airline has different rules
regarding overbooking flights. Arriving early should be normal course for all you travelers out there regardless of the overbooking policies, since most airlines are now requiring you to check in at the actual gate before doling out seat assignments. (And remember, a confirmed seat assignment may be a factor your airline considers when choosing who to bump.) So get there early, head to the gate, confirm your seat and enjoy a Bloody Mary with a side of smug, because you know you’re getting on that flight, oversold or not…

Suitcases are an essential part of our lives when we travel. So whether they are small plastic suitcases, huge bags or even leather briefcases, they each have their own style. Make them unique to YOU!
Tampa International Airport CEO, Joe Lopano, said “I almost drove off the road, about the fact that we now finally have achieved something that we’ve been working on for so long, and the people of Tampa, the people of Havana and all the people of Southwest are going to have a great opportunity.”

Since March of this year, dozens of airlines have submitted applications to get nonstop commercial flights to Havana, and finally, the USDOT made a temporary decision that allows a daily average of 20 round-trip flights collectively between airlines around 10 cities. Besides Tampa, the list of cities from which future passengers will be able to schedule flights included Atlanta, Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York City, and Orlando. “Today we take another important step toward delivering on President Obama’s promise to re-engage Cuba,” said Anthony Foxx, U.S. Transportation secretary. “Restoring regular air service holds tremendous potential to reunite Cuban-American families and foster education and opportunities for American businesses of all sizes.” While, the provisional approval was primarily celebrated by the lowfares airline, Southwest, at the end of the day, seven other companies were also awarded similar flight privileges. These airlines include Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airline, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Spirit Airlines and United Airlines.

An age old remedy for losing weight is right under our noses, known only to a few because most people believe that exercise is the almighty solution to shed off those pounds. It is a strategy most would think is nearly impossible to enact in your daily life but is the best bet against that pesky fat. Eating a balanced diet is the most likely scenario to lose weight effectively. If you’re looking for something fast and easy, look elsewhere. Studies show that based on the general consensus of what an average person eats, it is more likely they would gain weight by eating, for example, a donut, and exercising right afterwards than they would be if they just didn’t eat it at all.
In an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the authors – who include British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, an outspoken critic of the food industry, said, “Members of the public are drowned by an unhelpful message about maintaining a ‘healthy weight’ through calorie counting, and many still wrongly believe that obesity is entirely due to lack of exercise.” Let’s not play coy; most people know that the fatty, sugary, salty foods they are putting into their bodies are not good for them, and it doesn’t help with the added stress from watching commercial after commercial of Coca-Cola’s effervescent idea to associate their drinks with exercise and sports. This

method isn’t saying that you have to cut these delicious but not-so-good foods out of your diet altogether, but to eat them in moderation and eat more healthy foods. That’s something you’ve probably heard before but never really paid attention to because it seemed like you could just go to the gym and all would be right again. Wrong. In the long game, you can’t simply exercise and expect the weight to just come off; you have to integrate a good system for eating in everyday life that will work for the rest of your life, not just a couple of weeks on an intense workout or a juice cleanse.

HARD BOILED EGGS AND BANANA SLICES
Bananas are high in potassium and are known to reduce swelling, protect against developing type-2 diabetes, and aid in weight loss. The white part of a hard-boiled egg offers 25 percent more protein than the yolk. You’ll get over 3.5 grams of protein from the white of a large egg, making you feel full longer!

ASHITABA THE M I RAC L E P L A N T ?
Botany saves the day for the health and beauty world once again with Japan’s ‘tomorrow leaf ’, the Ashitaba plant. This Asian herb, scientifically known as the Angelica Keiskei Koidzumi, gets its name because of its magical health and beauty effects. More commonly it is referred to as the ‘tomorrow leaf ’ because of its quick regeneration process of leaves. Unlike most herbs that only target one issue, Ashitaba is noted for using its eleven vitamins and thirteen minerals to work together to protect numerous aspects of the body.
In terms of health benefits Ashitaba works to speed up the healing of wounds, improve heart health, improve digestion, builds proteins for stronger muscles, creates calcium for stronger bones, improves probiotic production within the body, and strengthens concentration level and memory. The difference between Ashitaba and other herbs is its high level of chlorophyll. The large amounts of chlorophyll within Ashitaba mimics many of our bodies natural blood cells, combining our bodies natural iron with magnesium supplements. This duo benefits our body by acting as an antioxidant, anti inflammatory, anti-tumorigenic, anti-carcinogenic, 58 STYLETOME.COM
Avid users of the Ashitaba herb are the people of a small Japanese community called Hachijo. This area of Japan is full of Ashitaba and incorporates it in many parts of their daily diet crediting it for their title of population with the longest life span. Ahitaba is also a common herb used for Traditional Chinese Medicine practices mainly for its high level of antioxidants, which surpasses the amounts in both green tea and red wine. There are a variety of ways in which to incorporate Ashitaba into one’s daily diet. Ashitaba filled juice, tea, and smoothies are all available for order from various online herbal sites. The extract can also be purchased and consumed in pill form. Alternatively, its sap can also be used in a variety of cooking, most notably in homemade dressings. Ashitaba seeds are available for purchase online and after a quick soak can be grown in a home garden with decent sunshine and rich soil. As always, consult with your doctor before starting any new regimen or including any new herbs or diet.

BEST FRIENDS
BON A-PET-TREAT! By Alexandra Niblett
We all have special people and special pets in our lives that mean the absolute world to us. You know who I mean: the family members that check in on you from time to time just to say a sweet hello, the spouses out there that stop everything they’re doing to sit by your side when you’re sick, those best friends that faithfully keep up with the Bachelorette with you, and, last but not least, our pets who show us unconditional love. Having these good people & lovable pets in our lives makes us fortunate, and as a petlover myself, I think it’s fair to say that being a dog owner is a blast! And if you’ve ever owned a dog, you can probably agree that oftentimes it’s simply gladdening to go the extra mile for our fur balls! While some might look at spoiling our pooches as a negative
thing, spoiling them every now and then is shameless fun that brings both you and your pooch happiness. Trending over the last several years is a phenomenon in which pet owners have increasingly spent more and more money pampering their furry friends — dogs in particular. And while some of these services are a little far-fetched, some of these ideas sound dog-gone good! Here are some ways people love to spoil their pooches!
PET SUITES
Most kennels offer suites for your dogs to stay in that would seem like a treat to temporarily live in, even for a person! While you vacation, 62 STYLETOME.COM
these pet suites situate your dogs in a staycation environment, providing them with TV’s, Lamborghini-style beds, classy wall and floor decorations, an abundance of toys and more. BUT — if you want your pup to live that elevated life at home, you can now get personally designed pet suites installed in your house. These pet suites can run anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars, but that’s not the only way your pets can live comfortably.
DOG HOUSES
If you have outdoor dogs, build them an outdoor suite! (A.K.A., a beautiful dog house.) Dogs love a place to relax, and an outdoor space designated for them is a more affordable way to give your dog a space they’d enjoy indulging in the ruff life of
devouring (safe) bones and napping. You can find dog houses at your local home improvement stores, and you can personalize them with cute embellishments, and, a dog favorite, a memory foam pad that’s both comfortable for them to sleep on and beneficial for their joints! Speaking of outdoors, here’s another “out-there” way people cater to their pooches’ needs and lifestyles.
PET DATING SERVICES
That’s right. Many pet owners want the absolute best for their pooches, or as they look upon them as their children. And that means that even though they’re ready to find love, they want the satisfaction that their pets are compatible with the pets of whom they go on a date with! One site, youmustlovedogsdating.com, advertises that “if your dating philosophy is ‘love me, love my dog or leave me the heck alone,’ welcome!” Another site even more specifically geared toward your dogs’ needs is petsdating.com. On this site, people create profiles for themselves and their dogs in an online community that helps owners find a partner to go on dog walks with, schedule playdates, adopt or list a pet for adoption, etc.! Last but certainly not least, datemypet.com is one more dating site created for pet lovers to meet online. The site’s slogan reads, “whether you are looking for a life partner, a buddy for your pet or just someone to hang out with, here you’ll be able to find exactly who you are looking for — pet lovers like yourself.” Finding a partner for your dog is only one of a million ways you can sweeten up your dog’s lifestyle!
THEIR SWEET DOG TREATS ARE MADE WITH MANY DELICIOUS, NATURAL INGREDIENTS THAT YOUR DOGS WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE — MY DOGS ATE THEIR HELPINGS IN SECONDS! SUGAR-COATING THINGS
If you can imagine it, it probably already exists. Dog perfumes, fancy salon-level shampoos in decorative bottles, an array of dog nail polish, tattoos for dogs, pet massages… almost anything that’s paw-sible, already is, you just might not know about it yet. Adorable boutiques and pet stores are sprinkled throughout Florida, including Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, a Florida-started franchise of dog shops including one located in Celebration that caters to just about every need and desire your dog would have. Their sweet dog treats are made with many delicious, natural ingredients that your dogs will absolutely love — my dogs ate their helpings in seconds! Pampering our pooches is one way we can give back the love they give us on a daily basis… our pets are our fur babies, our best friends, and our little blessings that consistently show time and again how to love without judgment. So treat them to something special from time to time! (The only thing that might bite is the cost of spoiling them.)

CELEBRITY SOUP
BEFORE THEY WERE FAMOUS Six celebrities and their surprising pre-fame careers! By Riesa Pascal
64 STYLETOME.COM
CELEBRITY SOUP
Did you know that award-winning Mean Girls actress Rachel McAdams once spent three years working at McDonald’s? Contrary to what they would like us to believe, celebrities weren’t always as glamorous as we see them today. Long before they became superstars, most of Hollywood’s elite paid their dues by working ordinary—and sometimes quite odd—jobs just like the rest of us. If you’re still striving for personal career success, check out the famous faces below and remind yourself that everybody starts somewhere…even celebrities!
Whoopi Goldberg In the movie Ghost, Whoopie Goldberg plays a psychic who can communicate with the dead. In real life, Whoopie has never spoke with the dead, but did you know she used to put makeup on them? When Whoopie first moved to California, she got a job as a makeup artist in a mortuary in order to pay the bills. To help her get over her fears of the dead, Whoopie’s boss once pretended to be a corpse and then sat up and waved at her! According to Whoopie, he said, “That’s the worst thing that could ever happen to you here and it won’t. So there’s nothing to be scared of.” A little macabre? Sure, but it proved to be effective!
Johnny Depp Next time you want to hang up on an annoying telemarketer, think of this story and realize that you just may be hanging up the next Johnny Depp! Before he was a drunk, yet charming pirate of the Caribbean, Johnny was a telemarketer who sold pens. He once recalled that time in his life saying, “You’re calling people who don’t want you to call them. You put on your best fake voice and try and sell them a gross or two of ballpoint pens with their name printed on them. First you say, ‘Congratulations. You have just become eligible to win a grandfather clock’ – or a trip to Greece or a Jacuzzi or whatever.’” Something tells Johnny would have no problems selling that gross or two of pens today.
Jon Bon Jovi Before he was “Living On A Prayer” and performing for millions of fans around the world, global rockstar Jon Bon Jovi had the humblest job of all. When he was 17 years old, the now renowned musician was working as a janitor at his cousin Tony Bongiovi’s recording studio. Like many young men his age, Jon had always dreamed of becoming a rock star, but not many of those men actually go on to do just that. The ambitious janitor finally got his break at the age of 18 when his cousin helped him to record his first single “Runaway” which was a local hit and went on to be a global success. However, Jon’s first professional recording credit is actually on a Star Wars-themed Christmas album that was produced in the studio where he was working. May the Force be with you always, Jon!
Kanye West With a reported net worth of $145 million, Kanye West is certainly allowed to have expensive taste in his choice of clothing. I mean c’mon,
he’s married to a Kardashian! In 2013, Kanye even released a $120 plain white t-shirt which sold out immediately and further proved his expensive taste and the power of his influence. Considering the highend fashion Kanye is into, it’s all the more interesting to learn that he use to fold clothes at Gap in high school. In the song “Spaceship,” Kanye mentions his former employer saying, “Let’s go back, back to the Gap. Look at my check. Wasn’t no scratch. So if I stole, wasn’t my fault. Yeah I stole, never got caught.” For what it’s worth Kanye fans, a plain white t-shirt at Gap could save you more than $100... just a little tidbit for your wallet to think about.
Jerry Springer We’ve all seen the ever outrageous Jerry Springer Show or at the very least, are familiar with the now famous chant, “Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!” If you have a hard time taking Jerry Springer seriously as professional, educated man, these facts might help you or they just might give you the shock of your life. Before he was instigating fights on his world renowned talk show, Jerry worked as a political campaign adviser to Robert F. Kennedy. After Kennedy’s assassination, the law school graduate went on to join a law firm in Cincinnati, Ohio. As if that wasn’t impressive enough, Jerry also served as mayor of the city in 1977. Who’s to say why he left it all behind for a life of baby daddy drama and fist fights, but I think it’s safe to say his bank account doesn’t regret it.
Walt Disney Today his name is synonymous with “The Happiest Place On Earth,” but there was a lot of hard work and odd jobs behind that success. Before entrepreneur Walt Disney was producing films and winning more individual Oscars than any other person in history, he was delivering newspapers on a paperboy route. The job required Walt to wake up at 4:30am every morning and he faithfully did so for more than six years. Another one of Walt’s earliest jobs was in 1916 when he worked as a news butcher. The then 15 year old Walt would sell magazines and snacks to travelers on several railroad lines. As a young adult, Walt was rejected by the army and joined the Red Cross as an ambulance driver in France during the end of WWI. At the age of 26, Walt came up with the idea of Mickey Mouse while on a cross-country train ride and the rest is history!
EVERYBODY STARTS SOMEWHERE… EVEN CELEBRITIES!
DON’T MISS THE BEAT
He may be a chart-topping rapper, a prestigious producer, and now a fashion designer, but each creative venture Kanye takes on is more than another project birthed from his career; it becomes a new window into the surpassing vision that is the artist himself. He has won fans worldwide with his musical innovation as well as with his trendsetting designs, and the cultural admiration poured upon his achievements is a testament to the artist’s ability to see beyond what is current and into what is to come in his field.
THIS YEAR’S SAINT PABLO TOUR IS EXPECTED TO BE AS INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING AS EVERY LIVE SHOW IN WHICH KANYE WEST PERFORMS ON HIS USUAL GRAND SCALE.
Simply put, Kanye West is a visionary. With over 30 million albums sold internationally, Kanye has stretched his influence around the globe through his music career. With the release of his 2004 debut album, The College Dropout, Kanye presented himself to fans and critics as a voice to be reckoned with—a voice that was matched by creativity unlike most of his contemporaries. This creativity only grew stronger and more expressive as Kanye released album after album; his intriguing 808s & Heartbreak of 2008 was an unexpected change from the rapper’s hip hop style and a move toward an electropop style, which is seen in his single, “Love Lockdown.” Kanye showed more interesting facets of his musical persona with his fifth album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, released in 2010, which echoed a deeper side of the artist. This album offered audiences new emotional texture that had only been hinted at in Kanye’s previous recordings, and showed the avant-garde nature that was once hidden in the form of a best-selling rapper. Kanye’s thoughtful choice of collaborators and rhythmic patterns, notably in his track, “All of the Lights,” prove his adaptability to commercial pressure while maintaining his goal of progressing musical culture through new vision. Along with creating music that has won him 21 Grammy Awards, Kanye has taken his colorful mind to the fashion world, partnering with Adidas in an effort to champion the footwear industry. the Adidas YEEZY sneaker is one of the hottest shoe styles to hit the runway and department stores, and the clothing in the YEEZY line portrays a minimalistic, simple style with linear designs and dark aesthetics. All of these artistic adventures of Kanye West are perhaps outlets for the artistic ability gained from his time at Chicago’s American Academy of Art. The rapper received a scholarship to attend the art school to study painting, however, after transferring to Chicago State University, Kanye saw his music as the method in which his talent could shine the most. It’s no wonder why Kanye West has been named as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. Now, with his North American tour, you have the chance to see this influential entrepreneur and experience his talent live. This tour is the opportunity to experience the songs from Kanye’s seventh solo album, The Life of Pablo, which has already received critical acclaim. The album broke records as the first album to reach the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart from streaming services only.
By Courtney Caggiano
This year’s Saint Pablo Tour is expected to be as interesting and entertaining as every live show in which Kanye West performs on his usual grand scale. Be sure to catch Kanye on display at the Amalie Arena on September 14.

RESIDENTS Need Not Sacrifice Individuality or Luxury When Searching for an Apartment to Call Home
By Kristen Gucwa, Vice President of Marketing and National Lease-up Operations Richman Property Services, Inc.
Finding an apartment used to mean making some concessions on amenities, personal expression, overall lifestyle, or more. Many people downsized their expectations to fit inside the available options—but it no longer has to be this way. Millennials and Gen-Xers are driving a new trend that is boosting demand for luxury apartment living at affordable prices. These discerning apartment hunters seek rental properties that support their healthy, creative and social lifestyles. And once they realize they can elevate their rental living experience, they want to personalize their living spaces, work efficiently from home and enjoy many preferred amenities they see in upscale condominiums. Property developers that recognize these trends offer premier luxury properties in walkable, thriving communities. It’s about more than just a prime location. Some companies are taking it a step further to embrace the spirit of individuality, installing unique artwork, encouraging residents to
choose their wall colors and partnering with national interior design brands to offer assistance as needed. A Unique Frame of Mind Apartment properties are meeting the demand for distinction in innovative ways. Utilizing public artwork to differentiate a sense of place used to be relegated to commercial buildings, but no more. For example, Tampa’s Aurora by Richman Signature Properties features an exterior art installation that signals its uniqueness in the neighborhood. The custom art is designed to attract residents who appreciate a sense of individuality. At the same time, the colorful, multi-story artwork announces on a grand scale that the building owners embrace a sense of style and uniqueness. Aurora’s artful façade enhances the downtown Tampa skyline. Thinking outside the norm in this way helps cater to apartment seekers and others looking for a different living experience. 68 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
Sparking Individuality Creativity is important both outside and in. Astute apartment hunters will now quickly turn away if they see only limited, cookiecutter apartment options. After all, even the most well-appointed building will not feel like home to a resident unless they can create a living space that closely aligns with their preferences and lifestyles. Residents now specifically seek this type of flexibility in many aspects of their lives, and where they choose to live is no exception. Granting residents greater freedom on design and décor choices is another important part of the trend. Some buildings are loosening decades-old restrictions and allowing residents to add a pop of color to their living spaces. Again, Richman Signature Properties is a prime example that not only permits a more colorful lifestyle, but helps residents achieve it. Through a one-of-a-kind partnership with the leading interior design brand Laurel & Wolf, residents have access to a professional team of certified designers,
OUR TOWN
expert insights on interior design trends and a collection of on-trend paint colors selected exclusively for the developer’s properties. Move-in incentives are another way buildings can appeal to the individual. For example, Richman Signature Properties welcomes each new resident with a gift. Those who choose a “Live Easier” gift receive a free one-year membership to the Shipt shopping and delivery service; residents who opt to “Live Healthier” receive a complimentary Fitbit Flex to track their fitness; and those that choose to “Live Prettier” will receive a complimentary package from Laurel & Wolf. These are just a few ways communities are granting innovation and personalization to today’s demanding apartment seekers who crave individuality. Offer a Sense of Home in More Than Just the Apartment Even the most vibrantly colored apartment will feel drab if the building, amenities and neighborhoods do not generate a strong sense of excitement about living there. People
should want to live somewhere that surrounds them with a sense of home—and not just in the apartment. Paying rent is a necessity, so feeling psyched about where you live should also be. When it comes to amenities, residents who work out regularly, like to plan parties or spend time outdoors at a community pool or clubhouse will appreciate the convenience the right property offers them. For example, residents who like to exercise and stay fit are more likely to appreciate a full-service gym, state-of-the-art equipment, and on-demand gym sessions in a private studio right where they live. A resort-style swimming pool, cabanas, outdoor grills, and poolside bars are among the many features buildings can offer residents who enjoy spending time outdoors year-round, particularly here in sunny Tampa. These offers are all featured at some of Tampa’s newest residences including Aurora and Westshore’s Grady Square, giving residents the feeling of a “staycation”—but from the comfort of their homes.
69 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
Working from a Dream Home Another growing trend working its way into residential living is accommodating the remote employee. Richman Signature Properties provides environments well suited for working close to home: a clubhouse, conference room and home theater with coffee tables and comfortable couches, for example. Residents can choose to utilize plenty of space whenever and wherever. As millennial and Gen-Xers increasingly choose flexible job arrangements, savvy developers anticipate their current and future work needs as well. All of this is part of the bigger trend for people choosing to live in communities where they can work and play. Properties located within walking distance of vibrant downtown areas or locations with multiple shopping, entertainment and dining options close by further enhance resident lifestyles. After all, people do not just choose to live in a building; they now seek to belong to a greater community, boost their social connectivity, and elevate their way of living simultaneously.

Gordon, the managing partner of the law firm of Maney|Gordon, prosecuted all three claims and obtained a seven-figure settlement for the surgery patient, a $2.4 million dollar jury verdict for the elderly skydiver, and an $8.25 million dollar judgment on behalf of the injured boy from the convenience store where the boy had purchased beer.

HARRIS & HUNT, P.A.
LEGAL ELITE TAMPA STYLE
I T ’ S P E R S O N A L TO U S , TO O . At Harris & Hunt, P.A., helping clients go through one of the most difficult
Nancy Hutcheson Harris
times in their lives is a privilege that we take personally. Our lawyers practice exclusively in the area of marital and family law, providing representation to clients throughout the Tampa, St. Petersburg and surrounding areas for divorce, paternity, prenuptial agreements and other actions. Our firm’s goal is to protect our client’s most important aspects of their life: their financial security, their children (including their parenting relationships) and their future. Each member of our firm has extensive experience and special training in traditional litigation as well as collaborative divorce – a non-adversarial process where parties respectfully and privately resolve the issues of their divorce. This process assists parties with reaching a mutually satisfactory settlement by focusing on each spouse’s ultimate goals, rather than allowing the parties to become entrenched in positions (as commonly occurs in litigated cases). In a collaborative divorce, the parties have a “collaborative team” to help them reach settlement. Each spouse has the support, protection, and guidance of his or her own collaborative attorney, as well as the assistance of two jointly retained neutral professionals (experts). The team, both collectively and individually, is dedicated to reaching a settlement that considers the values and goals of both parties. Although there are many advantages to collaborative divorce, the process is not right for everyone. Our attorneys understand that divorce is not one-size-fits-all and that traditional litigation might be necessary. Our firm is made up of attorneys with impressive credentials, such as Florida Bar Board Certification in Marital and Family Law, fellowship in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, inclusion in Florida SuperLawyers, Best Lawyers®, and many others, with extensive experience in the courtroom to handle any family law issue that you may have.

OUT & ABOUT
the look with the Rebecca Minkoff Perforated Leather clutch in Sky, Gorjana ‘Elea’ Cuff in silver, and Kate Spade New York ‘Be Adorned’ Stud earrings. Date Idea Two: THE SUNDAY FUNDAY For those looking for something a little different than the typical nighttime date we recommend this sunday funday themed date. Begin your date at Sono Café where you can enjoy the beautiful rooftop views overlooking the Hillsborough River while sipping on cocktails from the Bellini and Bloody Mary bar. Once you are finished with brunch travel downstairs to the Tampa Museum of Art and spend the rest of the afternoon engrossed in the array of artwork on display. Ladies for this date I recommend keeping your outfit light and flirty to mimic the theme of this date. A look I really love for a Sunday Funday date is the croisette blue stripe full midi skirt from Paul and Joe Sister paired with the Colorado string bodysuit by Wolford. To accessorize this look I would pair it with nude Uptown’s by Louboutin and the Tory Burch soft bangle to keep the outfit soft and fun. Complete the look with Sophie Hulme ‘Milna’ suede and leather envelope clutch in klein blue.
FALL IN
LOVE!
By: Allison Tankersley The changing of seasons more
than just cooler weather and falling leaves. It is also the time of termination for your summer fling. Sure you enjoyed two romantic months in the sun but it was still just a fling and along with the other pleasures of summer such as lounging poolside and frozen drinks it has become time to part ways. Luckily, the fall months are here and this is the perfect time of year to find new love. Unluckily, in order to fall in love you have to survive the dreaded first date. In order to relieve some of the stress I have come up with a few lively first date ideas in Tampa as well as trendy outfit ideas for each date. With your location and wardrobe all planned there shouldn’t be too many pre date jitters so you can relax, enjoy your date, and find yourself falling in love.
Date Idea One: THE TRADITIONAL Dinner and drinks is a timeless first date idea. This classic date begins with an intimate environment where you can enjoy each others company and fine dinning and then ends with a night of laughing and dancing while relishing in the music and fun atmosphere of a bar. For this date we recommend starting out with dinner at Ulele a highly praised restaurant known for its decadent seafood and American cuisine. After dinner head down the street to Fly Bar & Restaurant to enjoy the trendy rooftop lounge and live music. Ladies for this date I recommend keeping your outfit traditional similar to the theme of the date but with an edge. This effortlessly chic look can be achieved by pairing Ted Baker’s Cahron Strappy Jumpsuit and Vince Camuto Sakari Platform Sandal in black. Accessorize 82 TAMPASTYLEMAGAZINE.COM
Date Idea Three: THE ADVENTURER This date is true to its name and for those looking to find love on a more adventurous route. For this date you are going to need to pack a picnic for the two of you to share. Enjoy your picnic while laying out on a blanket near the water. Once your done with your meal head over to Tampa Bay Water Bike Company and rent water bikes. This is a fun way to see the city from a different angle and it’s also a unique date idea that will be a fun experience for the two of you to share. Since this is a more active date you are going to want to dress appropriately. However just because you are wearing gym clothes doesn’t mean you have to look drab. For this date look I recommend Free People’s sun salutation bra layered under Tory Burch Tory Sport mesh white top. Complete the look with True Religion keira women’s short, Free People myna headband in yellow watercolor, and your favorite tennis shoes. Hopefully these date ideas and outfits will not only inspire you but also give you the confidence to find yourself that special someone and fall in love.

ORTHODONTICS R A N DY M . F E L D M A N D D S , M S
“The world is filled with many reasons to smile—unfortunately, not all smiles were created equally.” Those are the words of our resident orthodontist Dr. Randy Feldman who has spent the last 30 plus years giving people like you the gift of a beautiful, new healthy smile. If you are looking for a trusted, respected orthodontist with years of experience specializing in his field to give you the smile of a lifetime, then Dr. Feldman is your doctor. “An orthodontist’s experience and expertise can make all the difference in your smile and in your world”, he says. Dr. Feldman received his DDS and BA in zoology from The Ohio State University, and yes, he is a diehard “Buckeye.” He is currently a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at USF College of Medicine and holds a patent for ceramic brackets. These are just a few of the numerous academic and professional accomplishments Dr. Feldman has to his credit. “The world is filled with many reasons to smile—unfortunately, not all smiles were created equally.” - Randy M. Feldman DDS, MS Trusting someone with your children’s teeth is a big decision for you to make and, as a dad himself, Dr. Feldman is someone any parent would feel comfortable with. A very active community leader, he is the former President of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a position he held for three years, and he holds a special place in his heart for children with special needs. “Some of the most beautiful smiles are revealed outside the treatment area while helping others in our community. When kids smile a lot on the outside, they smile a lot more on the inside. So, having fun is all part of my day’s work…But some kids feel uncomfortable smiling, no matter how much they want to. That’s why I’ll never stop working on creating beautiful smiles inside and out.” In addition to being on the board of directors for Voices for Children and being a Guardian Ad Litem, Dr. Feldman has established several programs for children throughout the community. As President of More Health, Inc., he created programs which promote health education for students in Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. He also established the Feldman Orthodontics Scholarship program, which has awarded college scholarships to area high school seniors for over 20 years. He developed and produced a dental exhibit for the Children’s Museum of Tampa and created a program to educate Hillsborough county school children about oral hygiene and prevention of oral cancer. His latest endeavor has been to establish Kid ID in the Tampa Bay area. Kid ID is a free identification system that stores your child’s vital information in a secure electronic database. Should your child go missing, you may request the information be sent directly to law enforcement agencies, increasing the chance of a swift and safe return.

He has volunteered his time for these precious children for over 25 years. A family man himself, Dr. Feldman has a beautiful wife, Kelly, and three wonderful children, Adam, Chelsie, and Dalton.
