Culinary Keys to the Florida Keys FATHER-AND-SON TEAM NORMAN AND JUSTIN VAN AKEN SHARE BELOVED RECIPES IN A NEW COOKBOOK. By: Holly V. Kapherr Read more at: StyleToMe.com
> From early days spent cooking in Key West, Illinois-native Norman Van Aken learned about the cooking techniques and ingredients from the Caribbean, many of which are spotlighted in his fifth cookbook, My Key West Kitchen, to be released in mid-October. Van Aken is the chef-owner of one of the country’s finest dining experiences, NORMAN’S at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes here in Orlando, and Tuyo, an installation at the Institute of Culinary Education in Miami, both of which embody the philosophy of New World Cuisine, blending the bright flavors, local ingredients and cultures of Florida, the Caribbean, Latin and South America. Both Norman Van Aken, a James Beard award-winning chef and his son Justin Van Aken, also a chef, consultant and co-author of My Key West Kitchen cite Alice Waters as a major influence. In the 1970s, Waters finessed the art of simple cooking; using common ingredients like root vegetables, divining their succulence and elevating their stature far beyond what anyone thought was possible.
“It’s easy to cook with high-end ingredients,” says the elder Van Aken, “It’s much harder to take an inexpensive ingredient and morph it into something new.” That’s exactly what My Key West Kitchen is all about. The book illustrates the unique difference between the cultures and cuisines that make up the ultimate melting pot port city, Key West. Having grown up on the island as a true “Conch,” Justin rode his bike every day through neighborhoods filled with varied ethnicities like Bahama Village where the aroma of coconut curries fill the air to the Cuban, Jamaican and Canary Islanders that fill each bungalow. Neighborhoods like this form the construction of the book, which features recipes from many of Key West’s most colorful boroughs. “In a way,” says Norman, ”Key West is like New Orleans. It’s a clash of cultures that works to create a brilliant culinary landscape -- the American South meets Caribbean, European, and Latin American culture. “If you’ve ever been to Key West, you know it’s a laid-back

place where people who can only be described as ‘salt-of-the-earth’ work and play together.” Justin agrees, “We are trying to conjure up a concise expression of a real and vibrant place that existed, for the most part, a few decades ago. It had a distinct and unique food culture not driven by cruise ships and ‘weekend warriors’. It’s been fading for some time now -- I remember the remnants of it from my youth. We hope to help bring it back.” My Key West Kitchen recalls island favorites from classic eateries locals and tourists alike have come to love like 5 Brothers, The Pier House, Sandy’s, Full Moon Saloon and Louie’s Backyard. Through sharing their love of Key West with home cooks and gourmands, the Van Akens hope to spread the easy-going, full-flavored cuisine they’ve adopted as their own with the rest of the country not as lucky as we to have the Keys within driving distance. A main theme throughout the book is of family. Norman Van Aken’s mother and older sister worked in restaurants

together and would often share stories about the day’s work around the kitchen table while they counted their tips. From there, Norman learned about the restaurant life and translated his family’s restaurant experiences to how he runs his restaurants today. It’s a family business now for Norman and Justin Van Aken, but it wasn’t always that way. Justin’s aim to cook came in a more circuitous route. At first, he had no interest in the restaurant life beyond doing odd jobs in his father’s restaurants as a teen. After some time living in Colorado, Justin returned to Key West where he sought a little direction from Dad. “My father said, ‘Justin, I can’t help you too much if you want to be a lawyer or a doctor, but if you want to learn to cook, we can talk. I really wasn’t too excited, but when I started apprenticing in the pastry department, I knew I’d found something special.” Justin found a creative outlet in the ultra-focused world of pastry arts, and he went on to open the dessert station at Norman’s in Orlando. “Everything we do is with the knowledge that the family is the most important unit in the world,” says Norman. “We make sure the crews in our restaurants are a family. We foster a rapport between the dining room and kitchen while cultivating relationships with our diners,” he says. Norman learned early, from working with his mother in restaurants, that connecting with the patron is one of the most important things about being a chef. Norman and Justin Van Aken split their time between Key West, Miami and Orlando and Justin’s wife is expecting their first child. “I hope my child is not as resistant to learning to cook as I was for a long time,” says Justin. “It’s a wonderful thing for families to cook together and share something that ignites all the senses.” For the Van Akens, the table is the center of life, and their new cookbook, My Key West Kitchen, has that philosophy as its centerpiece. <

We made this the first Christmas I worked at the Pier House. I felt quite far away from my midwestern home,celebrating a holiday usually marked with steady snowfall, glowing fireplaces and a great, fragrant roasted primerib of beef on a long table at my grandmother’s house. But in our tropical kitchen at the end of Duval Street we also felt we were uniting with different cultures—and the spirit of Christmas should accomplish that every year.Waiter Tom Goetz brought in a bottle of rum and we made punch. By the end of service, we were singing Christmas carols as we cleaned up the kitchen. Home was near again. I like to serve this with Cayo Hueso Cornbread (page 20),Yellow Rice (page 175) and Black Beans (page 163) found in My Key West Kitchen. SERVES 4 2 sour oranges, cut in half 2 oranges, cut in half 4 limes, cut in half 1/2 cup pure olive oil, plus more for searing 8 whole black peppercorns, bruised 2 bay leaves, broken 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced, plus 3 cloves, peeled and cut into studs 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced One 4-bone rack of pork (about 31/2 to 4 pounds) Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 5 to 6 bacon strips GLAZE 1 tablespoon pure olive oil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 1 sweet onion, finely chopped Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 orange, cut in half 1 tablespoon freshly toasted and ground cumin seeds 11/2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar 1/4 cup orange marmalade Squeeze the juice of the orange and lime halves into a large bowl then toss in the rinds as well. Add the oil, peppercorns, bay leaves, sliced garlic and red onion and stir to combine. Place the pork in the marinade, turn the rack a few times to coat evenly, and marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hours,
but at least 8 hours, turning it a few times. Remove the pork from the marinade and gently scrape off any oil and other bits. Pat dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, puncture the pork all over and push the garlic studs into the holes. (The holes can be a bit bigger than the studs, so the marmalade mixture to come can seep into the pork as it cooks.) Slash the pork with a crosshatch pattern and season all over with salt and pepper. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Make the glaze: Heat a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil and butter and swirl to melt. Add the garlic and onion, lower the heat to medium and cook slowly and steadily until caramelized, seasoning with salt and pepper and adding the cumin about halfway through. Chop one of the orange halves into small pieces. Squeeze the juice of the other orange half through a fine-mesh strainer (to catch the seeds) into the saucepan. Toss in the chopped orange, rind and all. Add the vinegar and reduce by a third. Stir in the orange marmalade and heat until melted. Transfer the glaze to a small bowl and let cool slightly. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Sear the pork on all sides until browned, about 10 minutes.Transfer to a plate and let cool. Spoon the glaze onto the pork, letting it seep into the punctures. Lay the bacon strips on top, overlapping slightly.Wrap the top of the pork roast securely with aluminum foil to keep the bacon from falling off. Roast the pork in the oven for 45 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and roast for another 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F on a meat thermometer.Transfer to a cutting board and let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. Ingredient Notes: A four-bone rack of pork is like four pork chops but still attached. Ask for one at your butcher’s shop. If you can’t find sour oranges, use regular ones but add 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar when squeezing the juice into the marinade bowl.

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

To arrange for these activities, we suggest planning thru Travel Services, Inc., an inhouse Destination Management Company (DMC) at the Marriott. From airport transfers to sightseeing trips, tours of water and land-based activities to cooking classes with renowned chefs, TSI can do it all. We opted to take their Kayaking Bioluminescent Bay Tour of Las Cabezas de San Juan, which is located on Road 987 near Las Croabas, at the northeastern-most tip of the island.This Natural Reserve is owned by The Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico and consists of 445 acres of land featuring seven distinct ecosystems including: coral reefs, sandy beaches, sub-tropical dry forests, sea grass beds and one of the few bioluminescent bays in the world.
rience thousands of years of history infused with Spanish, African, Indian and American culture, combined with the modern conveniences of today’s world.
Beginning at sunset our eco-guides got us into our two person kayaks and brought all necessary safety equipment and lights. After receiving pre-ride training covering all aspects of the tour and operation of the kayaks, we paddled to the entrance of a mystical channel leading to an area where the mangroves create natural tunnels. Sounds of wildlife surrounded us. After this 15 to 20 minute paddle under the blanket of night sky, our guide stopped to give commentary on the various points of interest: identification of bird life inhabitants, Marine life using the lagoon as a sanctuary, information on visible stars and an explanation of the bioluminescent micro-organisms that give the water its mysterious light. Awesome! (It might be a good idea to wear a bathing suit beneath your clothing, as you will almost certainly get wet along the way)! The only real downside was that it took 2 ½ hours to travel from the hotel to the Bay along slow winding roads, making three other stops to pick up others from hotels along the way. Might not be a bad idea to chip in with a few others and rent a car for a day otherwise bring your ‘Dramamine’!
• Climate and Time: An agreeable climate is one of Puerto Rico’s most attractive characteristics. Puerto Rico has a tropical marine climate, with an average annual temperature of 80°F (26°C).

> For nature, the fall is a time of sowing, for social butterflies throughout Central Florida—all a flitter-- it is a time of harvest and gathering together. How better-- in preparing to usher in the days of autumn by kicking things off with a late summer cornucopia of food, libations and celebration called the 23rd Annual Taste of the Nation Orlando. On August 25th, more than 2,300 descended upon the Orlando World Center Marriott to sample delectable specialties prepared by chefs from 37 of Central Florida’s leading restaurants. With so many culinary sensations to consume, revelers in need of thirst quenching had their fill of wine and beverages provided by 18 local distributors. While culinary masters served up scrumptious delights, Mayor Buddy Dyer served as honorary co-chair and panel judge alongside Orlando Restaurant Guide’s Scott Joseph, and WFTV anchor Bob Opsahl for the Creekstone Farms “throw-down” cooking competition rematch. Overall, the day’s true winners were the Coalition for the Homeless and Second Harvest of Central Florida, as the event raised nearly $250,000 to aid these organizations in fighting childhood hunger. Next, in keeping with the Orlando World Center Marriott location, we go from an event that fed both the stomach and the soul to an event that fulfilled the aerobic needs of stair climbers united for a cause. September 8th brought us the CF Climb
STYLETOME.COM
for Life, an exhilarating stair climbing and fundraising event that raised money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. It was a race to the top where participants climbed a 28-story building and were rewarded for completing the fantastic feat with a “Survivors Party” at the rooftop where well-deserved refreshments and entertainment awaited the nearly 200 hot steppers participating. The 3rd annual event doubled last years’ tally with a record breaking $40,000 raised. Covering style from head to toe, we trade in stair-climbing sneakers for Vegas-style headdresses as we step right over to the 23rd Annual Headdress Ball on September 22nd. It is Orlando’s most outrageous black tie event that boasts a who’s who extravaganza filled with lively entertainment, sumptuous food and libations and a contest the likes of which you have never seen before. That and a whole lot more was delivered with a bang at this year’s event. Guests enjoyed a 5-star dinner, a full Las Vegas-style show, and auction. However, the event’s headlining feature was the Headdress Competition where local businesses created headpieces and costumes up to 13-feet tall. Competitors were encouraged to use outrageous materials and given full creative license in constructing the designs--some more risqué than others! As always, the headdresses wowed and delighted all who attended and raised funds for a good cause, the Hope and
Help Center of Central Florida for AIDS research and awareness. Not only were the sights and scents of autumn swirling about but romance was also in the air September 7th and 8th as the Return to Romance: Featuring Mark Romeo and Friends fundraising event took center stage at the Abbey Theater. For two nights only, guests enjoyed the crooning sounds of Mark Romeo and the Rat Pack Orchestra along with a little help from special guests, jazz artist, Ron Aprea hailing from the big apple and vocalist, Angela DeNiro from the city of Angels. Couples took part in the romantic evening for a good cause, benefiting the National Parkinson’s Foundation Central Florida Chapter and the Florida Hospital Parkinson’s Outreach Center. Mimosas, anyone? Runway to Hope founders, Mark and Josie NeJame hosted the 3rd Annual Runway to Hope Champagne, Brunch & Fashion Show at The Mall at Millenia September 10th. Guests enjoyed a delicious brunch and fall collection runway show hosted by Emmy-Nominated host of So You Think You Can Dance, Cat Deeley. The event took place during Mall at Millenia’s Fashion Week where 10% of the funds raised from retailers benefited pediatric cancer programs in Central Florida. < Know of a Not-To-Be Missed Event?

Marlow’s Tavern Forward by: Cathleen K. Bode Read more at: StyleToMe.com
“The beer list is unique and varied, featuring local favorites, craft and import offerings by the bottle and on draft.” STYLETOME.COM
> Chef-inspired American tavern fare served in a comfortable and unique atmosphere is coming to Orlando with the October opening of a new neighborhood gathering spot, Marlow’s Tavern. Marlow’s Tavern will open at Pointe Orlando at 9101 International Drive, giving local residents and visitors a great place to create memorable experiences, enjoy chef-driven food and handcrafted cocktails. Restaurateur industry veteran Alan Palmieri was searching for his next career opportunity when he discovered Marlow’s Tavern. After retiring from Darden Restaurants, Inc., where he was executive vice president of operations in the Specialty Restaurant Group, Palmieri knew that Marlow’s was what he had been looking for - the perfect neighborhood restaurant to serve his family, friends and the Orlando community. “The decision to partner with the Marlow’s Tavern team was an easy one,” says Palmieri. “After working in this industry for my entire career, I have not seen a concept with this much passion around its quality food, creative beverages and attention to developing relationships with the staff, guests and neighborhoods. It is a concept that will give those discerning Orlando guests the exceptional hospitality that they deserve and expect daily,” adds Palmieri. Designed with guests’ comfort in mind, the decor is timeless, with an innovative and brightened atmosphere and unique features, like contemporary lighting combined with Chicago brick and rich appointments. The restaurant is warm and inviting with
exposed brick walls, dark wood accents, large leather booths and communal tables for a timeless look and feel. The menus, created by Executive Chef and Co-founder John C. Metz, offer a diverse combination of classic dishes that are updated and elevated to a gourmet level. The beverage menu includes a wide variety of wines from around the world - all available by the glass - and a hand-crafted cocktail program that combines fresh juices and specialty, small batch liquors in an innovative and approachable way. The beer list is unique and varied, featuring local favorites, craft and import offerings by the bottle and on draft. Guests who visit Marlow’s Tavern will be welcomed with exceptional, personalized service and immediately feel the sincere and genuine hospitality from the entire team. “We are excited about this opportunity because each Orlando neighborhood is so unique,” says Metz. “We’re looking forward to partnering with Alan because he has such a great local presence, commitment to quality and strong ties to the values we believe are important to operate a successful business. Pointe Orlando is a vibrant and bustling location and we’re excited about the chance to offer our unique experience and our world-class hospitality to this neighborhood.We can’t wait to meet our new neighbors and become a regular stop for those who live and work nearby.” Marlow’s Tavern is located at 9101 International Drive at Pointe Orlando.

Engine: 3.8 liter V8 HP: 616 hp @ 7500 rpm 0-62 mph: 3.1 seconds Top Speed: 204 mph Weight: 3033 lbs
> McLaren Automotive announces the launch of its second model in the MP4-12C family: the stunning new 12C Spider. With a lightweight, high powered engine developing an incredible 625 PS (616 bhp), unique RHT folding roof system that may be operated while on the move, and carbon ‘MonoCell’ chassis identical to that of the groundbreaking 12C, the 12C Spider is a luxury convertible sports car that offers prospective owners a unique combination of spectacular performance with remarkable usability. The new 12C Spider is now available to order from bespoke new McLaren retailers across the globe. First deliveries to customers are planned for November this year. Antony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive Managing Director said: “I am really excited to announce that the new 12C Spider is now available to order at new McLaren retailers worldwide. The launch of our second model is an exciting milestone in the growth of our company. “While the 12C is the technological essence of a race car, the 12C Spider incorporates an additional dimension. 12C Spider owners will love the opportunity to lower the roof and hear the unhindered howl of a V8 twin turbo engine at full throttle. It undoubtedly enhances an already euphoric 12C driving experience. “The 12C Spider delivers all the thrills characteristic of a high performance
roadster, and yet transforms into a raucous track beast at the flick of a switch. I can’t wait to see it on road and track with customers later this year.” BEST-IN-CLASS PERFORMANCE
The 12C Spider’s impressive 625 PS output from its bespoke 3.8-litre V8 twin turbo engine is transmitted to the car’s rear driven wheels through a 7 Speed SSG dual-clutch transmission, which itself provides lightning-fast gear changes through rocker-mounted shift paddles affixed to the rear of the steering wheel. A clear view of the 12C Spider’s lightweight M838T power plant is available through a glass screen positioned behind the tonneau cover. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION HIGHLIGHTS
McLaren is a carbon pioneer. In 1981 McLaren gave a debut to a carbon fibre monocoque chassis in Formula 1 with the launch of the MP4/1 race car, and in 1992 the legendary McLaren F1 introduced the advanced composite technology to the world of road cars. It was natural then for McLaren Automotive engineers to apply its carbon expertise when developing the groundbreaking one-piece moulded chassis of the 12C. With the 12C designed originally as a convertible, its 75kg ‘MonoCell’ requires no additional strengthening for it to feature in the 12C Spider. The result is a sports car almost identical to its fixed roof equivalent in performance
terms, and weighing only 40kg more with the addition of a convertible roof system. The Retractable Hard Top of the 12C Spider is operated using a switch in the lower section of the centre console inside the cabin, taking less than 17 seconds to raise or lower. Unlike many other convertible models, the roof can be operated whilst the 12C Spider is moving at speeds of up to 30 kph (19mph). Behind driver and passenger sits a rear windscreen which may also be electronically lowered and raised. With the roof lowered this acts as wind deflector to minimise disturbance to the 12C Spider’s occupants. With the roof raised the rear window can be lowered, allowing the exhilarating noise of the 12C Spider’s V8 twin turbo engine to flood the cabin on demand at any time. With the roof raised the area under the tonneau can be used as an additional luggage area which provides 52 litres of useful storage space. Bespoke luggage has been designed specifically to fit this space and is supplied as standard with every 12C Spider. The 12C Spider also features a passive Roll Over Protection System to maximise occupant safety. Each buttress contains a steel structure designed to absorb impact energy and protect both driver and passenger. <

CELEBRITY SOUP
Retail Therapy of the Rich & Famous By: Alyssa Thomann Read more at: StyleToMe.com
> Any excuse for a brand new dress or pair of heels is a good excuse. But when there is no particular occasion for your brand new purchase, just consider it therapy. Retail therapy: shopping with the primary purpose of improving the buyer’s mood or disposition. We are all hard-working women out there, lugging around a lot of stress on our plates.When the chocolate ice cream won’t do the trick, a bit of retail therapy will fit the bill. It is every girl’s favorite hobby- just ask Kate Middleton.This royal lady has been spending more than just her own bucks on some retail therapy. Don’t worry though ladies, you can indulge in some not-so-pricey retail therapy yourselves and still get the exact same looks as some of Hollywood’s A-Listers. If we are talking about retail therapy there is no way we could leave out Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. A fashion icon expected to always look her best. Her high profile status insists upon lavish, designer clothing to represent her title with class. Recently, we were let into a bit of a royal secret. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are not the ones responsible for the excessive shopping bills that cover the royal wardrobe; the bill has actually been footed by her father-in-law, Prince Charles. Before Prince William and Kate Middleton were married, Prince Charles had agreed to fund Kate’s “working wardrobe.” Recently, it has been publicly announced that his ‘darling daughter-in-law,’ as he likes to call her, has been funded nearly $56,000 in the first six months of this year. This is slightly over half of the $100,000 Prince Charles has allotted for Kate’s annual wardrobe. In addition, Prince Charles also pays the bills for Kate’s personal hairstylist who might we add, tagged along with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they recently ventured to Asia to ensure the royal locks are not a bit out of place. Prince Charles is extremely fond of his new daughterin-law, so indulging her is something he’s happy to do. Wouldn’t that be nice?!
Duchess of Cambridge

Kate’s retail therapy bill is rising daily. This is not only due to the fact that Kate is a busy new royal with a hefty load of events to attend, but also because she refuses to buy anything that isn’t full price. The Duchess has instructed her staff to never accept any of the hundreds of garments sent to her by designers or purchase anything that is less than the going price for the item. When she finds something she likes she instructs her private secretary to purchase it instead. It is no surprise however, just why these designers are so willing to give away their garments for free and why she cannot accept them – Recently, one $600 suit Kate wore to an event sold out in just a half hour!
CELEBRITY SOUP
Natalie Portman
Let’s be real though… Living like ‘royalty’ is perhaps something only the royals can afford. But who said we can’t shop like the rich & famous while still spending within our budget? Let’s check out some celebrities who spend their retail therapy shopping days in stores that we all know that may have the same taste in clothing and price to match! Natalie Portman has shown us that she is not a one-time bargain-hunting gal. She appeared at The New York Times’ 9th annual Arts & Leisure Weekend in a slip dress from Target priced at $39.99. Paired with black leggings, heeled booties and a blazer, she dolled up the dress perfectly to fit the occasion. Let’s not forget Natalie’s appearance on the red carpet wearing a pair of $80 Aldo shoes. In her case, retail therapy does
Kristin Davis
not have to include four zeros at the end of her receipts. Kristin Davis, one of the four flashy, fashion forward stars of ‘Sex & the City’ is another Hollywood A-Lister who knows where to bargain hunt. Kind of ironic, wouldn’t you say? She appeared at the Vanity Fair and Ermenegildo Zegna Dinner in an embroidered, apple green H&M dress, which shows us this lovely woman can get her retail therapy on for just $69.95. Nicki Minaj, Roman, or whatever alter-ego you want to address this star as is a bona fide diva known for her extravagant wardrobe, wigs and makeup. It is a mystery how much she really spends on those eccentric stage costumes. One thing we do know is that this diva does know where to find a bargain and still represent who she is. She

Micki Minaj
appeared on Good Morning America to promote her new MAC product wearing a vibrant color block Forever 21 dress priced at a whopping $27.80! So, there you go ladies – we don’t have to spend a bundle to look “pretty in pink!”oes not add to the outfit. This may have been an attempt to flaunt the season’s hottest color but this is just burgundy gone bizarre. <

Ms. Biecker grew up in Brevard County, and moved to Orlando after having graduated from Nova Law School (now known as Nova Southeastern) with her Juris Doctor degree, and after having been admitted to the practice of law in the State of Florida. She originally came to Florida as a youth, after the family visited an uncle in Fort Lauderdale while on spring break. As with so many transplants the family fell in love with the warmth, greenery and lovely flowers of Florida, and just had to make it their home. Ms. Biecker’s main legal fields of practice as a sole practitioner are: Wills and Trusts, including: Power of Attorney, Living Will and Health Care Directives, Probate, Guardianship. Ms. Biecker has been assisting clients in preparing their estate plans and developing their plans to leave a legacy to their loved ones. Family Law including divorce, child custody, child support and dependency. Bankruptcy Law, including loan modifications and mortgage foreclosures for either a private lender or the homeowner.

County by representing children as a Guardian Ad Litem, when they have been removed from their parent’s home or who are victims or witnesses to crimes. Ms. Biecker received the Legal Aid Society Award of Excellence for her pro bono work in 2000. She has continued to donate time on behalf of these children ever since. Ms. Biecker believes that not only must an attorney be competent, and provide sound, legal advice, but also be compassionate, respectful, and provide counseling that is best for the particular case. When dealing with a divorce case in which children are involved, then the focus must be on the best interest of the children, while still being a strong advocate on behalf of her client. Ms. Biecker tries to minimize the animosity that often occurs in a divorce situation so that the children can lead as normal a life as possible, as well as being sure that the resolution is fair and just for her client. Lastly, Ms. Biecker is also Florida Supreme Court certified mediator in the areas of: Family, Circuit Civil, County Civil and Appellate Law. Ms. Biecker additionally handles mediations in which the parties are “pro se” and thus have no legal representation. Lack of an attorney is not an obstacle to mediation and particularly for a divorcing couple, may be not just more financially feasible, but also help alleviate the anger and frustration of the process. Oftentimes, the parties may want to mediate prior to filing a lawsuit in order to attempt to resolve their differences before expending large sums of money with attorneys and court proceedings. Ms. Biecker is happy to help in that regard. BAR ADMISSIONS:

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

THE FUN WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT! By: Riesa Pascal Read more at: StyleToMe.com
> Tired of lifting weights? Don’t have a single athletic bone in your body? In desperate need of motivation to hit the gym? If your answer’s “yes,” then you might be like me and not a big fan of working out. Or at least I used to be that way until I discovered a new, different way to exercise. Do you like to dance? Perhaps a better question would be, “Who doesn’t?” Music and dancing is a universal enjoyment and one that I’m very fond of myself. For that reason alone, I said yes when a friend invited me to a Zumba class at our local gym one afternoon. It was supposed to be a one-time class for me, but fours years later I still enjoy – and constantly talk about – this fun way to lose weight and party yourself into shape. Zumba is an easy-to-follow, Latin-inspired, calorie-burning dance party and it’s downright addictive! Since its’ humble beginnings over 10 years ago, Zumba has been moving millions of people towards a healthy lifestyle of high-energy dancing. Zumba was “accidentally” created by Alberto “Beto” Perez when he left to teach an aerobics class one fateful day in the mid90s. Once he arrived and realized he had forgotten his aerobics music, he decided to improvise by using his own mix of salsa and merengue tapes that were in his backpack. His class loved the new workout formed by the change of music and on that day, Zumba Fitness was born. Today the Zumba program offers eight different types of Zumba classes: Zumba Fitness fuses easy rhythms and high-energy dance steps with fun, Latin and international beats. Zumba Gold targets baby boomers. It takes the Zumba formula and modifies the moves and pacing to suit the needs of older participants, as well as those just starting out on their journey to a fit and healthy lifestyle. In Zumba Toning, students learn how to use lightweight, maraca-like Toning Sticks to target and tone all their target areas while
following Latin-infused Zumba moves. Aqua Zumba is also known as the Zumba “pool party.” It combines the fun of dance fitness with traditional aqua fitness techniques. Zumbatomic classes are designed exclusively for children ages 4-12. The routines are kid-friendly and feature all the popular music they love. Zumba in the Circuit combines circuit training (a series of strength exercises at timed intervals) with the traditional Latininspired Zumba moves. Zumba Gold-Toning classes help baby boomers as well as beginners build muscle strength and improve their all around physical health with Zumba dance moves and lightweight resistance training. The Zumba Sentao workout fuses the traditional Zumba party with chair-based choreography to strengthen your core. Zumba has grown to become the world’s largest and most successful dance-fitness program. There are over 12 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly Zumba classes in over 110,000 locations across more than 125 countries. There’s Zumbawear™ apparel and accessories, music CDs, and a best-selling at-home fitness DVD: The Zumba Fitness® Total Body Transformation System. In 2010, Zumba even became the first branded fitness program to launch a video game on all three major gaming platforms:Wii, Xbox, and PS3. Zumba is the ideal workout for people who don’t enjoy traditional fitness classes. It is the perfect exercise for anyone who loves to move to red-hot, high-energy music. It is fun, exciting and best of all, good for you! Whether it’s for health reasons or just the pure joy of joining a massive dance party, try out a Zumba class today and be a part of the movement that’s moving the world into shape.

TALKING ROOT CANALS WITH DR. ERIC WU By: Dr. Carl Bilancione Comprehensive & Cosmetic Dentistry, PA

might be restorable. If a crack is involved in the root in most cases the tooth cannot be salvaged and extraction is required.
Is root canal procedure painful?
Who should do my root canal?
Most teeth can be anesthetized profoundly and the patient does not experience discomfort. Some patients might require additional volume of anesthetic solution or extra time to develop adequate numbness. After the procedures the tooth could become sensitive to pressure for a few days. Taking anti-inflammatory medication usually relieves the discomfort significantly. In some abscess cases your dentist might also prescribe an antibiotic to control the infection.
All dentists including general dentist have been trained to perform root canal treatment. However, endodontists receive an additional two years in advanced training and they often utilize the newest technology such as digital imaging, and operating microscopes, combined with specialized technique and instruments to eliminate dental pain and infection quickly and comfortably.
Dr. Carl Bilancione & Staff
> Endodontic therapy is commonly known as root canal treatment which is to treat the diseased pulp tissue inside the root canal. The pulp tissue contains tiny blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. It is very important during the growth and development of the tooth because vital pulp tissue creates new tooth structure inside the root canal. The pulp tissue could be irritated or damaged by deep decay, repeated dental procedures or perhaps a crack in the tooth. Any irritation to the pulp could cause inflammation or infection inside the root canal which would become painful or abscess. There are several very common questions asked in regard to root canal treatment. How do I know I need a root canal? If the pulp of a tooth is damaged it usually has prolonged sensitivity to cold and hot, spontaneous toothache, discoloration of the tooth, swelling or tenderness in the nearby gum or face. If any of these symptoms occur an evaluation with your dentist is usually recommended. What is involved in root canal treatment? After an accurate diagnosis, the tooth is opened to get access to the root canal space. The diseased or damaged pulp is removed and the canal space is shaped and cleaned before the next step of filling and sealing the canal space. Then you return to your general dentist to restore the tooth with a filling or a crown what ever your
STYLETOME.COM
How long does it take to treat a root canal? Depending upon the complexity of the root canal system and whether there is an abscess or not it could take longer time to prepare complicated or difficult canals. Usually root canal treatment is completed in one or two visits. A recent research article published in the AAE found two visit root canal procedure, with medication in canals for one week before completion, can reduce the amount of bacteria significantly more than a one visit procedure especially when the root canal has been infected.Your dentist should be able to decide which procedure will bring best results for you. How do I know if my tooth is cracked? We have found more cracked teeth in patients in recent years. The tooth structure can be cracked or chipped if excess pressure is applied on the tooth such as grinding or clenching or biting on a hard object such as candy and ice cubes. Any type of blow to the jaw during a sporting activity or auto accident could also cause a tooth to crack. If the tooth is cracked it might start to be sensitive to temperature, sweets, or pressure.

Dr. Palceski – Ask The Expert: 5 Bad (Skin Care) Habits To Avoid As a dermatologist, I am so passionate about skin care and know first-hand that great skin is achievable. However, there are a few bad habits that I see over and over again in my practice that really effect how healthy your skin looks and feels. Here is my list of the top 5 “BAD” skin care habits I see most often along with some advice for turning those bad habits into good ones. BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #1: OVERLOOKING MOLES
Dr. Palceski looks forward to hearing from you and will be accepting questions at drp@reflectionsdermatology.com or call 407-895-8818 Dr. Palceski is a Board Certified Dermatologist and Dermatologic Surgeon and is the founder of Reflections Dermatology & Center for Skin Care. For more information on Dr. Palceski or his practice, please visit www.reflectionsdermatology.com
A study conducted by the National Cancer Institute showed that fifty percent more melanoma cases occurred in women ages 15 to 39 in 2011 than in 1980. The lesson here? Everyone needs to get a skin cancer screening by a dermatologist once a year. You should also check yourself every month, remembering to examine less-obvious places such as your scalp, the soles of your feet, and under your nails. My suggestion, get your birthday suit checked on your birthday. BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #2: NEGLECTING YOUR NECK AND CHEST
Skin care shouldn’t stop at your jawline. These areas are almost always exposed yet rarely receive the same level of hydration and sun protection as the face. In fact, the skin on your neck and chest is actually more delicate and just as vulnerable to photoaging. The fix is simple: The next time you apply moisturizer, fa-
cial serum, or sunscreen to your face extend everything down to your décolletage. BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #3: NOT WASHING YOUR FACE AT NIGHT
Letting skin marinate in makeup— not to mention a day’s worth of oil buildup—can lead to clogged pores and breakouts, especially if you’re prone to acne. As you sleep, your body temperature increases slightly which can enhance absorption of whatever’s on the surface. So, wash your face every night and consider using a Clarisonic® Brush proven to remove 6 x more dirt, oil, and makeup than manual cleansing alone. BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #4: PICKING BLEMISHES
You’ve gotten the same advice since you were a teenager - “Don’t pick!” Picking blemishes not only extends the healing process of a blemish from approximately 1 week to 2, but it can also cause darkening of the skin and scarring. The older you get, the longer it takes for your skin to
heal. So, “stop picking” and go see a dermatologist who will work with you to get you on a good skin care regimen to fight breakouts. Some over the counter products I like include Glytone® Gel or Cream wash and Avene® Clean-Ac Moisturizer. BAD SKIN CARE HABIT #5: TANNING
Self-tanner? Great! The real thing? Not so great! Any pigment change from UVA or UVB light can cause premature aging and increase the likelihood of developing skin cancer. Tanning beds can be even worse, since they emit concentrated UVA light, which has been found to penetrate deeper than the combination of UVA and UVB rays found in natural sunlight. In fact, tanning beds have been found to increase one’s risk of developing melanoma by 76% and are considered on par with arsenic and mustard gas in the top cancer risk category. Your best bet? Avoid tanning beds, use a self tanner, and protect your skin every day by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30.

Government efforts to detect offshore accounts are two-fold. First, it is forcing offshore financial institutions to disclose accounts of U.S. citizens through new treaties and laws. Second, the IRS has reinstated the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), which provides amnesty from criminal prosecution and significantly reduces the monetary penalties. This dual approach is designed to increase tax collection otherwise lost due to unreported offshore accounts.
zerland (UBS), Credit Suisse, HSBC and Bank Leumi le-Israel have been or will be forced to disclose accounts to the IRS. Once account information is received by the IRS, the OVDP is no longer an option. An account holder can still enter the OVDP after the IRS demand on the bank is made, but before the records are sent to the IRS. The U.S. Department of Justice has filed criminal charges against scores of people with unreported offshore accounts. These prosecutions underscore the importance of entering the 2012 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program before it is too late.<

PERIPHERAL ARTERIAL DISEASE [PAD] BY CHARLES S.C. GARNETTE, M.D., F.A.C.S.
PAD affects 12% of the general population in the US, and ~20% of people over the age of 70 years old. With our aging population, these statistics are expected to increase in the near future.

Peripheral Arterial Disease is most commonly caused by atherosclerosis, a disease in which plaque builds up in the wall of an artery, resulting in the narrowing (stenosis) or blockage of the artery, thus limiting blood flow. It most commonly involves the arteries of the pelvis and the legs. Although the heart is usually the focus of discussions of atherosclerosis, this disease affects arteries throughout the body. Thus, PAD is related to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Carotid Artery disease in that all three are caused by the same disease process, atherosclerosis, and involve blockage of the arteries.
While many people with peripheral arterial disease have mild or no symptoms, some develop leg, thigh or buttock pain while walking (intermittent claudication) which resolves after a few minutes of rest. Other more severe symptoms include pain in legs and feet at rest or when lying down, ulcers on toes, feet and legs that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heal, and development of gangrene. PAD can ultimately lead to limb loss and can even be life threatening. Other symptoms of PAD include weak or absent pulses in legs and feet, hair loss on feet and legs, numbness and weakness in legs and erectile dysfunction. Factors increasing risk of developing PAD include smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, increasing age, excessive levels of homo-

cysteine, and a family history of peripheral artery disease, heart disease, or stroke. It is notable that people who smoke or have diabetes have the greatest risk of developing peripheral artery disease. Treatment of PAD is focused first on risk factor modification, i.e. Quit smoking, exercise regularly, lower your cholesterol and blood pressure levels, dietary modification and maintaining good blood sugar control. For truly symptomatic PAD, consultation with a Vascular Surgeon is essential to have the benefit of the best surgical or interventional treatment options available.

I get a great deal of personal satisfaction helping my clients achieve their financial goals such as growing or selling their business, helping develop and secure their retirement portfolio and assuring that their family is well protected. Even with the recent economic issues, changing tax laws and volatile markets, I am able to help my clients navigate through their options so that they can plan for the retirement of their dreams.

anything else. I am proud to be a trusted financial advisor, consultant and friend to my clients. WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS?
One of the most memorable impacts I have had has been with a loyal client of mine. He first came to me looking for advice on a retirement plan and group insurance for his employees. I was able to create a custom plan that covered everything including establishing a 401(k) plan and selecting group health, disability and life insurance for all of his employees. The plan I selected not only benefited his employees greatly, but also benefited him as a business owner. Being an independent financial advisor, I was able to use products and services from a variety of different companies. The benefit of selecting an independent financial advisor is that we can choose the companies we want to do business with, which in turn assures that my clients will get the products and services that make the most sense for their unique situation. In 2011, this particular client had an offer to sell his business. He sought me out immediately to assist in negotiating the terms of the sale. Upon the sale of the business I had the opportunity to work hand and hand with this gentleman and his family to create a retirement income strategy and secure an estate plan for his assets and family. < Actual investment results may be more or less than those shown.

tonoff, all three musicians have spent time in different music groups before, and after a while they found their way to rock together. In 2008 they made their move to rally and generate awesome music. Nate is the group’s lead vocalist, Jack contributes also to vocals and provides guitar and drum skills, while Andrew keeps the melodies going with playing a variety of instruments. When you combine these three separate abilities to do what they do well, you get magic.

The first album they put out in 2009 was entitled Aim and Ignite. Ignite indeed; an interest to hear more was born. The album hit different charts and got the fun started. Best described as having a Pop/Indie approach people wanted to hear what would be next. Then, in February of this year their second album Some Nights unveiled songs and sounds that instantly caused excitement. The first song delivered is a catchy tune called “We Are Young” and it covers all the bases of exactly that; being young is a time where many feel every day is a chance to live and be free from anything prohibiting a good time. The song was perfectly available for traditional graduation times of the year and the words match exactly that transitional time of life. Crowd pleaser for sure, the enchanting song placed strong as the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This is especially meaningful because this marked the first time since 2008 that an alternative song topped the list. This defining moment meant fun. was absolutely in the house.

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

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

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

Nicole Benjamin Photo By: Steven Miller
> When asked why, over the past decade, she has shifted the focus of her law practice to Estate Planning, Wills and Probate , Attorney Benjamin smiles before answering. “I guess you could say I am on a mission,” Attorney Benjamin is only halfjoking though. While she may not be on a mission, Ms. Benjamin definitely has a message and that is everyone, and she means everyone, should consult an attorney about estate planning. Form her perspective not enough people do and Attorney Benjamin wants to change that.
Benjamin Law Firm, P.A. 200 Robinson Street, Ste. 1150 Orlando, FL 32801 P:407-228-0337 F:407-228-0337 attorneybenjamin@benjaminlawpa.com www.benjaminlawpa.com

“I think there are two main reasons why people avoid estate planning,” Ms. Benjamin explains. “First, people think only the wealthy need this kind of help. In their minds, somehow whatever they have accumulated or are building is simply not worthy. Second, people are afraid of their own mortality and ignoring the inevitable is far easier for them than planning for whatever the future may hold.” According to Attorney Benjamin, both thought processes are understandable, but are also rooted in ignorance. “If somebody says they don’t need a will,” Ms. Benjamin explains, “I will ask them, ‘Would you let the State tell you where to live? Would you let the State tell you what car to buy? Of course, you wouldn’t. So why are you letting the State decide how your estate will be distributed?’’ Attorney Benjamin continues, “When people hear that, understand that, I think the light bulb finally goes off and I feel like I have helped.” In Ms. Benjamin’s experience, once people have an accurate understanding of the law and understand the significance of what is SPECIAL PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
at stake; people are relieved to have the opportunity to take control and put their affairs in order. Ms. Benjamin’s commitment to educating people about estate planning is the main reason her firm offers a free initial consultation. Attorney Benjamin does not determine her clientele based on asset accumulation. As the proud daughter of a kindergarten teacher and Naval Air Station worker, Ms. Benjamin understands that every estate represents a family’s hard work and dreams for the future. Ms. Benjamin’s goal is to help each person that comes into the office make a plan tailored to suit them and their loved ones. Nicole Benjamin has always gravitated towards the law. As an undergraduate student at Florida State University, Ms. Benjamin interned for the well respected law firm, Greenberg Traurig. After graduation, Ms. Benjamin began earning money for law school by working as a Legal Assistant for a personal injury firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Ms. Benjamin attended law school and earned her degree at Nova Southeastern University’s Shepard Broad law Center in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Attorney Benjamin has called the Orlando area her home for the past twelve years and has been practicing locally in the Central Florida community for more than a decade. Attorney Benjamin formed a general civil law practice, the Benjamin Law Firm, located in downtown Orlando. The firm focuses on Family Law, Estate Planning, Probate, and Personal Injury.<

Neal J. Blaher
Photo By: Steven Miller
> Focus is the principle that guides Neal Blaher in his practice of law: Focus on clients, and focus on very specific areas of the law. “It’s the little things,” Blaher says. “Returning calls promptly, and taking as much time as necessary to sit down and listen to the client’s needs, identify the real issues, and offer a complete and balanced explanation of the practical alternatives available under the law.” Neal Blaher is virtually home-grown. He came to Central Florida as a young boy in the 1960s, before Walt Disney announced his intentions to build his “World” here. After completing his education in the Orange County Public School system, Mr. Blaher headed back to the northeast, where he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and obtained his law degree from Villanova Law School just outside Philadelphia. He then sought and obtained admission to the Bar in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. After two years as a “Philadelphia lawyer,” Mr. Blaher returned to his roots in Central Florida, where he has continued to build his law practice over the past 25 years. Mr. Blaher spent his earliest years with a long-time Orlando firm. However, his strong convictions for giving clients the individualized attention they deserve led to the opening of the Law Office of Neal J. Blaher in 1993. Neal Blaher’s legal practice also reflects his focused approach to serving the needs of his clients, by limiting that practice to just three areas: Securities arbitration, franchising, and trademark and copyright law. Since the stock market crash of 1987, Mr. Blaher has represented investors in securities arbitration cases that arise from unsuitable investment recommendations, excessive trading, misrepresentation of in-
vestment products and their risks, and other improper sales practices. His position as a State of Florida certified mediator provides him with an even broader perspective for resolving these cases. Mr. Blaher was one of the original members in the early 1990s of the Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA), where he spoke on timely topics affecting this area of practice and participated in the organization’s efforts to effect positive change and a more level playing field for individual investors in securities arbitration. Mr. Blaher’s second practice area involves advising potential franchisees seeking to buy a franchise and needing review and counsel on the Franchise Disclosure Document. He also assists franchisors in the drafting of Disclosure Documents and complying with the varying requirements under different states’ franchise laws. Mr. Blaher appears at franchise expos around the State of Florida to make himself more widely available to people needing advice in the franchising arena. In the past he has spoken to both lawyers and small business owners on the laws and government regulations affecting franchises. Rounding out Mr. Blaher’s practice is intellectual property --- guiding people through the process of figuring out whether their ideas and visions can find protection under trademark or copyright law. Focused on his clients, and focused on the areas of the law for which he has passion: These are the hallmarks for Neal Blaher as an attorney living in and serving the Central Florida community for the past 25 years.<

> Careful consideration to the costs of probate, family dynamics and the impact of estate, gift and income taxes are the cornerstones of a comprehensive estate plan. It’s common for people to misunderstand in life how their estate plan (or lack thereof) actually functions at their death. A “hodgepodge” estate plan of a Last Will and Testament, and adding a few of your beneficiaries’ names to various bank accounts as joint owners can have unintended consequences in life and at death. All in an effort to avoid “probate”. Probate is an often misunderstood word. Probate is simply the court process of changing legal title to assets held just in your name alone at your death. An estate plan should consider whether, in your case, it makes sense to minimize the assets that have to pass through probate by creating a “will substitute” such as a Revocable Trust instead of naming various beneficiaries and joint owners to your account. This type of trust, also known as a “Living Trust”, can hold title to your assets during your lifetime and then, at your death, distribute them to your beneficiaries outright or retain assets for the exclusive support of your beneficiaries.

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