This is something I dont ever want to have to think about.
So, I will give you a vision into my world with a quick spin of
the kaleidoscope.

Paying it Forward & Letting My Passion Fly that would be the
best description I could give you. To describe everything that
I am about would take me more than this article can hold.

I live a double life with that many may not know. By day, for
the past 14 years Ive made my living as a Licensed Physical
Therapist Assistant. To be a part of the healing process in
peoples lives, and being a part of making them whole again
Who wouldnt feel passion behind this? By night and any
other unscheduled moment in a day, I am a promoter and
photographer.
I have always loved photography, and 4 years ago I decided
to pursue it on a more professional level. I came up with
this crazy name Passionfy
Photography, it has branded
me with the motto Let Your
Passion Fly. I cant say that I
have any specifc category of
photography that I appreciate
more, only that I love what I
see through the lens, and get a
jolt of inspiration every time I
review images that leave foot-
prints on the lives of those that
were captured by my shutter.

Ive always loved music, but
never had a true appreciation
for it until I began consistently
listening to live music. The
vision of musicians passion
heard in a voice, with a strike
of a drum, or a lick of a guitar
purely amazes me. Thank you
to all the musicians that have
given me a different vision
of music than I ever thought
would be possible for me. You
have let me feel your passion
through the eye of my lens,
and I love it!
I am a social butterfy, and always have been. Do I need
to be the center of attention? No But, do I want to be
standing in the wings feeling the same passion & excitement
they do, yet in my own way? Of course! So, by the click of
my shutter and my tenaciously viral ways on the internet
Ive created a completely different angle with my passions. I
may have created a monster with the amount of knowledge
that I have bestowed upon myself, not because I have to
But, because I want to. People often ask me if I sleep. The
answer would be: not too much. But, how can I when I
have so many visions and ideas that I want to share with the
world, and continue to pay forward whatever I can to help
others? This has now compiled into the multi-faceted way
that I promote local & national bands, organizations, events,
and so on. Assisting others in the undying need for social
media awareness of anything and everything that has a
good meaning to it has become yet another passion of mine.

Thankfully for others who do not have vast knowledge of
social media, marketing, or advertising I have now become
a search engine of information without them having to click
the on button of a computer search for it. Somehow with
all of this I have become very well-respected for my passion
and professionalism to a point that I now create/manage
many social media portals to increase the public awareness
of the musicians passion. Somewhere along the lines of
all this, I have now become a booking agent, a band man-
ager, fan page moderator, and all around superwoman of
assistance.
I am now embarking on a new adventure with something
that I didnt really ever know could or would be possible. I
was fortunate enough to have
been able to meet another very
driven, hard working, and pas-
sionate person who envisions a
lot of the same things I do, but
he is the musician I am not. So,
we have collaborated together
on a new business concept to
help musicians everywhere If
they have the same drive, dedi-
cation, passion, willingness and
want to succeed.

Over the next few months we
will be creating the master plan
to create plans to help musi-
cians create their own success
with greater professionalism and
respect for their talent.
Thankfully I appreciate the
passion, drive, dedication, and
understanding of others that
I know that Im not in this to
make a lot of money or become
famous. Im fne with being be-
hind the curtain, as long as the
appreciation does not go unsaid.
A Thank You goes a LONG
way, but if you dont say those two words, how does anyone
know that you truly appreciate what they did for you?
Dreams dont have to be something we wish would happen
Make them come true! Go the distance and Stand Strong
for what you believe in! And, as always Let Your Passion
Fly and never forget to Pay it Forward!

As you may know by reading my articles, I
am one of SWFLs busiest live music entertainers.
You may have even seen me perform at any number
of venues in the area as I work mostly in upscale
restaurants. For the past few months, every Friday
and Saturday from 4pm to 6pm I have been per-
forming as a soloist or with a guest artist as a duo
at BiCE Restorante in Naples. I have become famil-
iar with the management, staff and menu at BiCE
and I thought I would take this opportunity to share
with you what I have discovered about the food,
wine, music and people who run the top rated Ital-
ian restaurant in Naples.
First, let me tell you about the food. It is
no wonder BiCE brings the most authentic Italian
cuisine to the table. They use the freshest ingredi-
ents and the award winning kitchen is guided by the
experience of the amazing Chef Massimo Pisati. The
Northern Italian based menu is extensive and con-
sistently pleases the traditional Italian cuisine diner
as well as satisfying a more international palate like
mine. I would like to recommend a particular dish
but I cant seem to focus on just one as every meal
I have eaten at BiCE has been superb. The wine
menu, as one would expect at a world class Italian
restaurant, has something for every casual wine
drinker to enjoy as well as the connoisseur. BiCE
also features a full liquor bar and has one of the
best happy hour deals out there.
BiCE holds a special place in my heart as a
musician because they are one of the only places
left in SWFL that feature 100% LIVE music enter-
tainment on a regular basis. There are no soulless
backing track acts... its all LIVE as one would
expect from a better restaurant. The line up this
season includes some of the fnest musicians any-
where. Classical violinist Oleg Timuta treats guests
at BiCE several times each week as well as the
amazing pianist Daniel Stefanko. One of my favorite
local artists, Andy Wahlberg, performs on Wednes-
days and as I mentioned, yours truly on Fridays and
Saturdays. I dont understand how I ended up work-
ing among these musical giants but Im glad the
guests at BiCE like what I do. If you have not gone
to listen to Oleg, Daniel or Andy... GO! Its an inex-
pensive way to hear some of the best LIVE music
anywhere on the planet.
The staff at BiCE under the supervision
of General Manager Luca DiFalco (pictured) is an
amazingly effcient team that compliments the BiCE
reputation. DiFalco was nice enough to spend a few
moments sitting with me for an interview at the
popular restaurant and here is what I learned about
him. He always dreamed of being the manager of a
grande Hotel and thought the restaurant business
would be a great place to start.
When the opportunity presented itself he
started his career in Sardinia and Northern Italy
where he acquired the basis for the skill set he has
now. He enjoyed four years working at the Miami
BiCE before coming to SWFL. I learned that after
his move to the Naples BiCE in 2008, DiFalco was
also tasked with training managers for other BiCE
locations around the world. With an education and
work background in hotel and restaurant manage-
ment, and running one of the most successful food
and beverage businesses in the area. Id say hes
well on his way to realizing those dreams. DiFalco
makes good use of his extensive experience in res-
taurant management to enhance the fne traditions
of the BiCE Group. I think they are lucky to have
him...
A recent expansion project that now makes
BiCE one of the largest restaurants in the area is
defnitely something for Luca and his staff to be
proud of. The interior is comfortable and spacious
and the outdoor tables are charming and have pic-
turesque downtown Naples as a backdrop (corner
of 5th Avenue South and 3rd Street South). In the
event of less than perfect weather all the exterior
dining areas can be enclosed in mere moments. The
bartenders are friendly and generous, the wait staff
is attentive and courteous, the music is eclectic and
fun, the atmosphere is perfect and... the food?...
Magnifco!
I encourage you to take a look at the menus,
history and philosophy of BiCE online. For more
information about or to contact BiCE Restorante of
Naples and The BiCE Group visit:

BiCE Restorante is located at 300

Bambay
Bangles
P
amela P.Puccia the founder, creator and designer
of Bombay bangles had a childhood dream of
someday doing business with her native country
of origin-India. She has traveled numerous times on
extended vacations with her Parents since she was a
child, of her dreams was to open up a company creat-
ing treasures of India whether it was jewelry, cloth-
ing art & crafts accessories . In 2009 that that dream
came true with the creation of Bombay Bangles. The
east Indian culture, architecture, Food and lifestyle was
always so vibrant and full of life in her eyes; she wanted
to share that with her western lifestyle and friends at
home. Pamela created this company with one thing in
mindEvery woman from every social economic level
should be able to buy and wear beautiful, one of a kind,
handmade jewelry. Authenticity of a Bombay bangle has
been kept intact on how they are designed and created
by highly skilled and trained East Indian artists Pame-
la and her design partner Saptarshi Mitra who is sta-
tioned in India and their twenty artisans
are constantly drawing new designs and
experimenting with rare colors.
What is a Bombay Bangle
A Bombay Bangle is made in India,
these bangles are not mass produced,
thus every bangle is one of a kind.
Each stone is delicately placed in ev-
ery Bombay bangle. Our company uses
a material called lak which is a clay
ceramic pottery mixture which is created
by soil and earthen material excavated
from the foot hills of the Himalayan
Mountains native to India. This lak material is pored
into already made molds and as soon as this is poured
the artisan goes to work strategically placing all of the
ornaments onto the bangle. The glitters used on these
bangles are not retail level but are a high grade which
could not be re-created. The glitter is literally put into
the paint, as this cannot be done with regular craft
materials. There are no glues or plastics in a Bombay
bangle, the glass used in some designs are all hand
blown. Bombay Bangles frames are made from a variety
of hard metals such as Brass, Bronze, Stainless steel
and Tin; each bangle created is a mini work of art that
you can wear.

How to Purchase a Bombay Bangle
Because Bombay Bangles are not mass pro-
duced; to create even a small quantity takes
time and therefore these delicately created
pieces of art are only available at a handful of
upscale unique Ladies boutiques. Petunias of
Naples located at 852 Fifth Ave South are an
exclusive carrier of Bombay Bangles. Bombay
Bangles host a trunk show at Petunias once a
month between October and May. The owner
Claudette and Manager Lisa Jo will gladly coordi-
nate a bundle of Bombay Bangles to match any
of their beautiful dresses even when there is not
a trunk show in session; there is always a cachet
of Bangles on hand at Petunias.

Wearing recommendation
These bangles are all original and made in vari-
ous Parts of India. No two bangles are alike,
even though they may seem so. We recommend
wearing these bangles with Minimum roughness,
as some are partial glass. The stones are deli-
cately placed in these beautiful pieces of art and
heavy use could knock them loose.
Do not shower or swim while wearing you Bom-
bay bangle as the vibrant colors fused into them
may fade and could deteriorate the strength of
your one of a kind Bangle.
Enjoy and wear them with confdence, as the
East Indian Culture says no two are alike, as
our Bombay bangles.

yron Lars started designing under his own
label in 1991 with a small collection of
sportswear focusing on what Lars refers to
as twisted American classics. Taking inspira-
tion from such unlikely sources as his grand-
fathers hunting jacket, Byron crossbreeds it
with a Dior New Look proportion to create a
Dutchess of Windsor meets Field and Stream
hybrid.
Juxtapositions such as above, or as in taking a
mens cotton dress shirt and then distorting it
to the point of resembling a Dorothy Lamour
sarong, have become Byron Lars trademark.
When edgy fashion is steeped in something
familiar, it becomes far less alienating to the
consuming public, says Lars.

After only his second season in business, Wom-
ens Wear Daily hailed Byron as Rookie of the
Year. His line was immediately snapped up by
such prestigious retailers as Bergdorf Good-
man, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and
Bloomingdales as well as one hundred other
specialty stores throughout the U.S. along with
some distribution in the U.K. and France.

I saw it a few days ago and was blown out
of the water, exclaims Kal Ruttenstein, senior
vice president and fashion director of Bloom-
ingdales referring to the premier fall collection
of Lars. He has the freshest point of view of all
the young American designers.
Byrons range of designs became most appar-
ent in his Seventh on Sixth runway presenta-
tions in which he created accessories as mere
fashion show props, only to attract the atten-
tion of licensees in handbags, furs and hats.
His notoriety also led to his designing a limited
edition of designer Barbie dolls for Mattel.

By the contractual end of his licensees, Byron
chose to direct his energy away from the de-
signer collection and focus on a contemporary
line and pricing structure. I wanted it to be
more about the clothes and less about the
hype, says Lars.
This redirection was the beginning of Byron
Lars Beauty Mark. Initially a cotton Lycra shirt-
ing based offering, Beauty Mark took its cue
from the shirts and shirt dresses of the previous
collection that put the designer on the map
(only this time, without the lofty price point).
Since its inception, Beauty Mark has enjoyed
eight years of success and is now expanding its
product line to include knits, sportswear and
dresses in addition to the chic and sexy shirts
for which the line is highly sought after.

hile sitting at Nokomis beach watching the
sunset with a friend one evening, Chip Nary
decided that this beach would be the spot for a
new drum circle to branch off from the circle on
Siesta Key beach. They started it about 12 years
ago. It began with just those two, but within 6
weeks, it had taken off. Its the coolest thing.
says Nary. Its a delightful time at the beach. Its
always changing; so many people come and go
over time. Its something magical.
Coming to the drum circle is never the
same twice. A vast array of things can be seen
there. This particular night was met with rhyth-
mic dancing, hula hoops, glow sticks, gymnastics,
belly dancing and juggling sticks. Another night
who knows?
The crowd was very diverse. Young and
old, new comers and veterans, and generations
of families can be found sitting around the circle.
Many were asked what the drum circle was about
and what it meant to them. Each time, no mat-
ter which group of comers a particular person fell
into, the response was almost the same. Evan,
who was twirling around glow poi tonight, says
that its about community. Its the beat, the
rhythm, and the love. Richard, a new comer to
the circle fnds that The rhythm of the drums
flls you up. Its a thank you to the sun and an
invite to come back the next day. Jojo has been
attending for 10 years.
For her, its a celebration of the day, a
connection of people, and a time of relaxation.
The atmosphere of the circle was one of constant
ease. It felt as though everyone let go of their
problems. There is a very real sense of openness
and acceptance. Anyone can come and go and do
as they please.
As I walked off the beach, I found myself
dancing to the beat and wanting to come back
again. The drum circle is held on Nokomis beach
every Wednesday and Saturday night, gather-
ing about an hour before sunset. Sunday night
is held on Siesta Key beach, and little known to
most, Monday nights are at Venice beach. Its
rain or shine every week of the year. Listen for
the drums, and they will lead the way to an eve-
ning that wont soon be forgotten.

ousing prices peaked in 2005 just as Mike
Lombardo decided to leave his job teaching
autistic students in rural Appalachia. Lombardo
who holds 2 masters degrees and is finishing his
Ph.D. at Barry University was named West Virginias
Autism Teacher of the Year. I loved my work. He
enthuses. ...but it was time for a change. While
he was thinking about a career change his parents
retired to southwest Florida. I had the brainstorm
to move to Florida to sell real estate. I thought it
would be great for my 4 children to live near their
grandparents and the Florida real estate market
was booming. It seemed like such a good idea.
My timing couldnt have been
worse. Lombardo who had
sold real estate while in college
arrived in southwest Florida at
the start of 2006 ...and the start
of the housing bust. Today,
despite the housing collapse
the Mike Lombardo Team is
#15 in the United States for the
Century 21 national franchise.

How does a person
who is new to town sell so
much real estate? Mike Lombardo explains that
hard work is clearly an ingredient but so is a desire
to help people. People have needed help through-
out this housing collapse. Not only were people
faced with the bust of the housing bubble but it
brought unemployment particularly to those in the
construction trades and related fields. The unem-
ployment further weakened the demand for hous-
ing and prices continued to plummet. The Cape
Coral/Fort Myers area became a kind of Ground
Zero for the crashing housing sector. Homeown-
ers watched as their equity disappeared and the
value of their homes became less and less. My
heart really broke for people. Every day I saw a
different victim of the housing mess. There were
young couples who had bought their first home
only to find that it was now worth half of what they
agreed to pay and without work they could no lon-
ger handle the mortgage payments. There were
also older people
who had relied
upon the equity
in their homes as
a cushion for a
rainy day. Every
day it seemed
worse than the
day before. So I
set out to do what
I did when I was a
teacher. I would
try to help, to be
a friend and an
ally. I could not
do it all by myself.
I hired several
assistants in my
office and trained them to be understanding and
kind. We had to learn the skills to sell in this market.
We learned the language of the new normal in real
estate, declining values, short sales, foreclosures and
REO sales.

Lombardo who says that so many of his
former customers write beautiful letters to him
and his employees about how their services really
helped them. He describes people from all over
the United States that bought second homes and
vacation homes and then found that the recession
and housing collapse caused them to have to sell
their properties in southwest Florida. Lombardo

A little bit about,
People from
all over the
United States
that bought...
who sells all of southwest Florida from Punta Gorda
to Naples says that the biggest reward is having
someone phone to say, Thanks.

Mike Lombardo employs 5 persons in his
office helping buyers and sellers with listings and
closing. He also has 4 persons who work exclu-
sively with buyers. My mom even came to work.
She was a college professor who also owned a real
estate company for many years until her retirement.
She manages the day to day of the office and
coordinates the personnel. She came to my office
one day to help me organize paperwork and hasnt
missed a day in 4 years.

Lombardo says he is so glad that he moved
to southwest Florida. He says that he found a ca-
reer that he loves in the midst of a crisis. He chuck-
les as he adds that he loves going to work each
morning knowing that what he does helps people.

ith the Aventador LP 700-4, Automobili Lam-
borghini is redefning the very pinnacle of the
world super sports car market brutal power,
outstanding lightweight engineering and phenomenal
handling precision are combined with peerless design
and the very fnest equipment to deliver an unparalleled
driving experience. With the Aventador, Lamborghini is
taking a big step into the future and building on the
glorious history of the brand with the next automotive
legend. The frst customers will take delivery of the new
Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 in late summer 2011.
In the hands of its driver, the Lamborghini Aventador LP
700-4 is a high-precision machine spontaneous, direct
and always reliable. The driver is also assisted by the
latest electronic systems such as the incredibly sporty,
adjustable ESP system. When it comes
to passive safety, front, head-thorax
and knee airbags play their part
alongside the extremely stiff carbon-
fber cell.
The technology package of the Lam-
borghini Aventador LP 700-4 is utterly
unique. It is based on an innovative
monocoque made from carbon-fber
that combines exceptional lightweight
engineering with the highest levels of
stiffness and safety. The new twelve-
cylinder with 6.5 liters displacement
and 515 kW / 700 hp brings together
the ultimate in high-revving plea-
sure with astonishing low-end torque.
Thanks to a dry weight of only 1,575
kilograms (3,472 lb), which is extremely
low for this class of vehicle, the weight-
to-power ratio stands at only 2.25 kilo-
grams per hp (4.96 lb/hp). Even the fan-
tastic 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration
fgure of just 2.9 seconds and the top speed
of 350 km/h (217 mph) do not fully describe
the Aventadors extreme performance. And
yet, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are
down by around 20 percent compared with its
predecessor, despite the considerable increase in
power (+8%).
The ISR transmission is unique among road-
going vehicles, guaranteeing the fastest shifting
time (only 50 milliseconds) and a highly emotional
shift feel, while the lightweight chassis with push-
rod suspension delivers absolute handling precision
and competition-level performance. The expressively-
designed interior offers hi-tech features ranging from
the TFT cockpit display with Drive Select Mode system.
The Aventador will be built to the very highest quality
standards in an all-new production facility in SantAgata
Bolognese.
With the Aventador LP 700-4, the future of the super
sports car is now part of the present. Its exceptional
package of innovative technologies is unique, its per-
formance simply overwhelming, says Stephan Winkel-
mann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
The Aventador is a jump of two generations in terms of
design and technology, its the result of an entirely new
project, but at the same time its a direct and consistent
continuation of Lamborghinis brand values. It is ex-
treme in its design and its performance, uncompromis-
ing in its standards and technology, and unmistakably
Italian in its style and perfection. Overall, the dynam-
ics and technical excellence of the Aventador LP 700-4
makes it unrivalled in the worldwide super
sports car arena.
According to its tradition, Lamborghinis
new fagship bears the name of a bull
naturally, a particularly courageous
specimen from the world of the Spanish
Corrida. Aventador was the name of a
bull that entered into battle in Oc-
tober 1993 at the Saragossa Arena,
earning the Trofeo de la Pea La
Madroera for its outstanding cour-
age.
For Lamborghini, design is always
the beauty of aggressive power, the
elegance of breathtaking dynam-
ics. From the very frst glance, the
new Aventador is unmistakably a
Lamborghini, clothed in the brands
Lamborghini
The

most courageous

of all bulls
Aventador LP 700- 4
characteristic and distinctive design language with
its extremely powerful proportions, its exact lines and
precise surfaces, and with taut muscularity in every one
of its details. The designers in the Centro Stile Lambo-
rghini have carefully developed this design language
to give the Aventador a signifcant new edge. It is an
avantgarde work of art, an incredibly dynamic sculpture,
from the sharply honed front end through the extremely
low roofine to the distinctive rear diffuser. Every line has
a clear function, every form is dictated by its need for
speed, yet the overall look is nothing less than spectacu-
lar and breathtaking.
Truly impressive proportions come from an overall length
of 4,78 meters (188.19 in.) matched with an impressive
width of 2,26 meters (88.98 in.) including the
exterior mirrors, and further accentuated by
an extremely low height of just 1.136 mm
(44.72 in.). It goes without saying that
both doors of the carbon-fber mono-
coque open upward a feature that was
frst introduced in the now legendary
Countach and then used for subse-
quent V12 models such as Diablo and
Murcilago. However, the Aventador
also evokes its immediate predeces-
sor the Murcilago electronically
managed air intakes open depend-
ing on the outdoor temperature and
the need for cooling air,ensuring
maximum aerodynamic effciency.
And for those whishing to faunt
the heart of their Lamborghini, the
optional transparent engine bonnet
exhibits the twelve-cylinder engine
like a technical work of art in a display case.
The Aventadors spacious interior combines the fne ex-
clusivity of premium materials and perfect Italian crafts-
manship with state-of-the-art technology and generous
equipment. The red switch cover on the broad center
tunnel encloses the start button used to awaken the
twelve-cylinder. The interior is dominated by a next-gen-
eration dashboard as in a modern airplane, the instru-
ments are presented on a TFT-LCD screen using innova-
tive display concepts. A second screen is dedicated to
the standard-ft multimedia and navigation system.
The new Lamborghini fagship has a full monocoque.
The entire occupant cell, with tub and roof, is one single
physical component. This ensures
extreme rigidity and thus outstand-
ing driving precision, as well as an
extremely high level of passive safety
for the driver and his passenger. The
entire monocoque weighs only 147.5
kilograms (325.18 lb).
The monocoque, together with the
front and rear Aluminium frames,
features an impressive combination of
extreme torsional stiffness of 35,000
Newton meters per degree and weighs
only 229.5 kilograms (505.9 lb).
For the Aventador LP 700-4, the en-
gineers in Lamborghinis R&D Depart-
ment have developed a completely
new high-performance power unit an
extremely powerful and high-revving,
but very compact power unit. At 235
kilograms (518 lb), it is also extremely
lightweight. A V12 with 515 kW (700 hp)
at 8,250 rpm sets a whole new benchmark,
even in the world of super sports cars. The
maximum torque output is 690 Newton me-
ters (509 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm. The extremely
well-rounded torque curve, the bull-like pull-
ing power in every situation, the spontaneous
responsiveness and, last but not least, the fnely
modulated but always highly emotional acoustics
are what make this engine a stunning power plant
of the very highest order.
Engineers at Lamborghini have created the perfect
mate for the new twelve-cylinder engine with the
highly innovative ISR (Independent Shifting Rods)
transmission. The development objective was clearly
formulated to build not only the fastest robotized
gearbox, but also to create the worlds most emotional
gear shift. Compared with a dual-clutch transmission,
not only is the ISR gearbox much lighter, it also has
smaller dimensions than a conventional manual unit
both key elements in the feld of lightweight engineering
for super sports cars.

This kind of extreme power must be delivered reliably
to the road. The driver of the Aventador LP 700-4 can
depend fully on its permanent all-wheel drive indicated
by the 4 in the model designation. In the driveline, an
electronically controlled Haldex coupling distributes
the forces between front and rear. In a matter of mil-
liseconds, this coupling adapts the force distribution to
match the dynamic situation. A self-blocking rear dif-
ferential together with a front differential electronically
controlled by ESP make for even more dynamic han-
dling. The Drive Select Mode System enables the driver
to choose vehicle characteristics (engine, transmission,
differential, steering and dynamic control) from three
settings Strada (road), Sport and Corsa (track) to
suit his individual preferences.
Lamborghini has equipped its new V12 super sports car
with an innovative and highly sophisticated suspension
concept. The pushrod spring and damper concept was
inspired by Formula 1 and tuned perfectly to meet
the needs of a high-performance road-going ve-
hicle. Together with aluminum double wishbone
suspension and a carbon-fber ceramic brake
system, this lightweight chassis repre-
sents a further aspect of the new fag-
ships unique technology concept.
A Lamborghini should always ft perfectly
with the style and preferences of its owner.
To this end, the range of individualization
options is virtually inexhaustible. There is a selection
of 13 production paint colors to choose from, three of
which are highly sophisticated matt tones. A choice of
two-tone interiors are offered with the Sportivo and
Elegante versions, while a premium audio system
and reversing camera are among the many technology
options. And of course, the Ad Personam individu-
alization program knows no limits when it comes to
colors and materials.
Customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini
Aventador LP 700-4 in late summer 2011.

SAAB
- Into the Future
Sleek, innovative and exceptionally efficient: the Saab PhoeniX concept
car showcases design features and technologies which will shape the
next generation of cars from Saab.
Based on new architecture which will empower the next Saab 9-3
model, the PhoeniX introduces 'aeromotional' design: a visual evocation
of the aerodynamic design principles and passion for innovation that
inspired the creators of Saab's first car, the iconic Ursaab.
The PhoeniX embraces teardrop, 'liquid metal' forms and a dramatic jet
canopy-inspired glasshouse that gives fresh expression to Saab's signa-
ture 'wraparound' and translucent ice-block design themes.
Butterfly opening doors give easy access to a 2+2 cabin that blends
simplicity with technology. It has a minimalist, 'stripped out' feel, includ-
ing a new expression of Saab's driver-focused layout and a debut for
Saab's innovative IQon infotainment and communications system.
The touch-screen provides access to audio and entertainment streaming,
online navigation, on-board music storage and smartphone-like down-
loading of applications.
In true Saab tradition, there is also a surprisingly versatile cargo deck.
Under its sculpted hood and beneath its cargo deck, the PhoeniX
advances Saab's rightsizing powertrain strategy. Its propulsion system
combines a highly efficient, 1.6-liter turbo engine with innovative, electric
rear wheel drive technology.
Inside and out, the Saab PhoeniX showcases new design directions and
technologies that will be part of forthcoming Saab products.

Maserati GranCabrio Sport

After stunning the world with the GranCabrio at the 2009
Frankfurt Motor Show, Maserati will take its grand-touring con-
vertible to a new level of performance and handling with the
GranCabrio Sport.
Visually, the GranCabrio Sport is characterized by a more-
pronounced dynamic look. This look begins at the Gran-
Cabrios distinctive nose with a black grille and a Trident with
red accents. The headlights now have a black look with white
sidemarks, while front corner splitters and the redesigned side
skirts are body colored. The GranCabrio Sport also debuts a
new body color for Maserati: Rosso Trionfale inspired by the
red Italian national colors used on 1950s racing Maseratis in
1957, Juan Manuel Fangio won his fifth F1 World Title at the
wheel of a red Maserati 250F.

Conceived to give the GranCabrio a harder-edged model to
sit alongside the GranTurismo S and the Quattroporte Sport
GTS, the GranCabrio Sport uses a more powerful and fuel-
efficient version of Maseratis, all-alloy 4.7-litre V8, coupled
with the ZF six-speed automatic transmission.
This naturally aspirated engine produces in this configuration
450 horsepower and a rich, thick torque curve. Maseratis
Friction Reduction Program has made the GranCabrio Sports
engine more reactive to the drivers most-nuanced inputs, while
reaching a 6% reduction in fuel consumption.
The six-speed transmission is equipped with the super-fast MC
Auto Shift software and has been developed for the Gran-
Cabrio Sport directly from the transmission in the Quattroporte
Sport GTS. The MC Auto Shift provides optimized gearshift
response resulting in an even-greater engagement.
The handling has received attention, too, with an upgrade and
revision of the Skyhook active-suspension system now with
a sportier tuning - and the adoption of grooved and drilled
dual-cast brake discs.
What does all this refinement mean? That it is comfortable,
well appointed, civilized (when you need it to be) and has the
ability to promise more than just good looks
The GranCabrio Sport will be on sale in starting this summer.

-Fort Myers News-press, February 6, 2006
There's a perception
among some people that
electric vehicles fall on
the dull side of the auto-
motive enthusiasm scale
which is certainly not
the case with either the
production Nissan LEAF
or LEAF NISMO RC.
The Nissan LEAF NISMO
RC is designed and constructed as a real racing machine,
starting with its full carbon fiber monocoque bodywork. The
three-piece bodywork includes removable front and rear sec-
tions, fixed windows, LED headlights and taillights and driver-
adjustable rear wing.

Like the production Nissan LEAF, the NISMO RC is powered by
a lithium-ion battery composed of 48 compact modules and a
high-response 80kW AC synchronous motor that generates 107
horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. It can be charged up
to 80 percent of its full capacity in 30 minutes using the quick
charging port located inside the rear cowl. And unlike other
competition vehicles, the NISMO RC has no tailpipe, no emission
of CO2 or other greenhouse gases while being driven, and no
exhaust sound.
In preliminary testing the NISMO RC produces 0 to 62 mph
acceleration in 6.85 seconds and a top speed of 93 miles per
hour. It is projected to have a running time of around 20 min-
utes under racing conditions.
Sounds like a Nissan is producing a serious racing machine,
aimed at being the first on the starting grid.

As you would expect from
Porsche, the Panamera S
Hybrid sets new standards
in terms of performance
as well as hybrid efficien-
cies. It accelerates from 0
to 60 mph in just 5.7 sec-
onds and has a top track speed of 167 mph. Porsche Intelligent
Performance philosophy of committing to build new cars that
strive to deliver sportier performance with more fuel efficiency
and lower emissions. Without sacrificing high-performance,
luxury or comfort,
The Porsche parallel full hybrid system also reduces consump-
tion at high speeds thanks to its 'sailing' or coasting mode.
When the driver lifts off the accelerator at normal highway
cruising speeds, the gasoline engine is completely switched off
and disengaged from the drive train by a decoupling clutch.
This eliminates the combustion engine's drag forces and braking
effect in the interest of lower resistance, fuel consumption and
emissions. As soon as the driver presses the accelerator, to pass
another vehicle for example, the gasoline engine smoothly starts
within fractions of a second and engine rpms are increased to
match the current vehicle speed. It does this seamlessly thanks to
the Hybrid Manager, which also helps the Panamera S Hybrid
accelerate dynamically in gears at higher speeds.
The Panamera S Hybrid employs a 3.0-liter supercharged
V6 engine that delivers 333 horsepower. It is supported by a
47-horsepower (34 kW) electric motor. Depending on driv-
ing conditions, either drive unit can operate independently or
together to drive the rear wheels.
The Panamera S Hybrid has an even higher level of standard
equipment than the V8 Panamera S that includes Adaptive
Air Suspension with the Porsche Active Suspension Manage-
ment (PASM) adaptive shock absorber system, Servotronic
variable-assist power steering and a host of other features. This
new model also features an innovative display that provides the
driver with relevant information about the status of the vehicle's
hybrid drive
systems.
The Panam-
era S Hybrid
will go on
sale later in
2011.

Panamera S Hybrid
Being one of the few to have a first test drive in
the new Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG, was won-
derful. With a new exciting design; a "lean back in
your seat" performance and lots of improvements
in efficiency. It wasn't much of a surprise as this is
what Mercedes-Benz AMG is all about. The new
CLS63 AMG has been much improved from the
previous CLS55 AMG and CLS63 AMG which has
been around since 2004.
Visually, the CLS63 AMG impressed me with its
new appearance and improved interior. The cohe-
siveness of the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports sus-
pension and the electronically controlled damping
system, brings it all together of how I enjoyed the
drive. The CLS63 AMG automatically adjusts the
damping characteristics depending on your driving
conditions and reduces the roll angle of the body,
this worked well on RT595 even as I left the sus-
pension mode on "Comfort" most of the time.
The CLS63 AMG is a four-door coupe equipped
with the newly developed AMG V8 biturbo
engine, featuring 550 hp and 590 lb-ft. of torque
(with AMG Performance package), as well as the
AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmis-
sion. Without the AMG package you receive 518
hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Of course I had the
AMG package. The major difference between
both power units is the increase in the maximum
charge-air pressure from the turbos.
Question about acceleration? How does 0-60 in
4.3 seconds sound? A limited top speed of 155
mph, and you can get there real quick! Fast would
be the wrong word, more like quick fast with real
comfortable between that.
The vehicle's estimated fuel economy of 16 mpg
city and 21 mpg highway is an improvement over
the previous model. This is no small feat; remem-
ber this is a 5.5 liter twin turbo that will take on
all comers and still get you and your guest to the
opera house in comfort; without even a wiggle
in your outfit. Thanks to sport seats covered in
nappa leather and a lightning-fast electronically
controlled damping system.
Heading back with a feeling of confience, I parked
the CLS63 AMG and stepped out the car over-
hearing someone say, "Sexy!", I replied, "Thank
You"... she answered back, "Not you, the car".
The 2012 CLS63 AMG is available this summer.

Bringing together technology, skill and dedication to
the art, Vinyl Music Festival surely did not disappoint
on its opening night. 2011 was the start of another
Vinyl Music Festival at the ivory lounge in Sarasota,
celebrating electronica and dance music from around
the world showcasing the best DJs. The kick-off was
like last years EXCITING! The music started early and
rose to limits of pure enjoyment
Thousands music fans attended the music festival in
Sarasota starting on April 7th along with the Sarasota
Film Festival, which kicked off on the 8th. The highly
anticipated Vinyl Music Festival drew rave reviews
from patrons, sponsors and media alike; for a weekend
long celebration that brought thousands of visitors to
Southwest Florida from all over the world.
This year, Vinyl Music Festival was held at several great
locations such as the ivory Lounge, Michaels on East,
Atrium. "I am elated about the success and growth of
VMF over the years stated one guest. The event has
grown and taken a life of its own, drawing people from
all over to visit Sarasota, Florida. It is really good what
VMF has accomplished over the past few years, that is
why fans attend year after year. With over 40 legendary
artists all bringing a mix of electrifying electronic mix,

One of the undisputed favorites of the weekend was DJ Drager , who performed a high energy show
that was accompanied by dynamic sexy female dancers. Honorebel also got the crowd to their feet,
time with current chart topping hits and fun with the audience. The multi-artistic DJ Cosmo did not
disappoint revelers and delivered an exceptional musical array, hitting the fans with beat after beat.
Fans were also treated to a performance by Darude, Randy Boyer, Cosmo, Soul, Matt Storm and so
many more shared the stage. To add to the excitement, VMF had after hour parties and special VIP ac-
cess to meet with the DJs and special access to the wine cellar.
Capturing the element of delivering memorable performances, always keeping the energy high and
the party going; Vinyl Music Festival owes its success to one simple formula: a star-studded line-up,
great venues, extraordinarily music and beautiful weather in Southwest Florida.

Heartland Gardens;

Community Gardening At Its Finest
Heartland Gardens, located off of Old McGregor
Boulevard in Fort Myers sunny district, is one of the only
community gardens housed in the area. The garden,
which began rooting in October of 2010 hosts locally
and organically produce and vegetation. Heartland Gar-
dens is a charitable and educational not-for-proft corpo-
ration developed by Bernard Pino and Andrea Guerrero.
Both founders have resided in Lee county and have a
strong devotion to Florida biology and landscaping.
The gardens primary resource is the raised laby-
rinth that contains a multitude of separate beds. These
beds are used as community and food bank plots. The
labyrinth is also where interactive classes and workshops
for community take place. Classes and workshops are of-
fered to people of all ages. Guerrero pays special atten-
tion to programs geared toward the development and
education of young adults.
The organizations mission is to educate the
public on the benefts of local, organically grown food
and provide people with the tools to achieve nutritional
wellness and self-sustainability through the creation of
food producing gardens. Both Guerrero and Pino hope
to expand the organization to educate the public on
food preservation and food preparation. In addition,
owners hope to beneft the community by developing
500 community gardens.
Both Guerrero and Pino are exceptionally ambi-
tious about this alternative to food consumption and
waste. If you are interested in getting involved, the
garden encourages membership! Feel free to contact
Guerrero or Pino at (239) 689-4249.

T
he truth is many of us fip fop wearing Southwest Floridians could not
wait for this cold weather to be over with so that we may once again
unite with our fip fops. Not many of us can do without our fip fops. I
have seen some dedicated fip fop wearers prancing around town during
ffty degree weatheryou guessed it, wearing their fip fops. I am positive
that I did not own a pair of fip fops up north, but no doubt when I got to
Southwest Florida it became second nature and something I could not live
without.
Of course my collection of fip fops grew as I had to have them in every
color. Why not? They are fun, convenient and comfortable. Besides women
may need several as you may need to sport a silver and embellished fip
fop for going out on a date night. There is a pair for shopping at the mall.
Another pair you keep in your car that you slip on after work to drive home
in. Dont forget the pair you leave under your desk at work just in case those shoes you just bought felt like two sizes
smaller at the end of the day. Oh, how about that pair you use when you are doing chores around the house. And of
course the pair you bought for your husband that matches the ones you usually wear to the mall.
Oh Flip Flops, O Flip Flops I cannot live without thee_ cause you make me feel so carefree.

Tucked deep into the natural Florida environment, the Happe-
hatchee Center is located on Corkscrew Boulevard in Estero, half
a mile from US 41. An average passerby
would have a great deal of trouble locat-
ing this center as it has remained sheltered
among mass amounts of Florida vegetation
about a quarter of a mile off of the road.
Upon arriving, guests are overwhelmed with
a deep sensation of spirituality, calmness,
and inner peace. The Happehatchee cen-
ter owned and operated by Ellen Peterson
has been serving as a beacon for spiritual
endeavors since 2005.
Peterson, along with a board of like-minded
leaders, have developed the center primar-
ily for educational, environmental, scientific,
and spiritual purposes. Visitors pay a small
price for the inner peace they receive upon
entering the Happehatchee Center and par-
taking in activities that include but are not limited to yoga, medi-
tation, and crystal ball reading. In addition to the large amount of
activities offered at the center, Peterson and
members are heavily involved in commu-
nity outreach programs.
These programs include healing programs
for womens health, after school programs,
academic environmental programs, and
Gather the Woman events. The center has
maintained a quaint reputation for being
under the radar, and receives most of its
visitors via word of mouth. The Happe-
hatchee Center is constantly looking for
volunteers to man the grounds or take up
a class session. If interested in volunteering
or for further information on classes feel
free to contact Ellen Peterson and Happe-
hatchee Center at 239-206-4393.

A passion for performance. A champion. An American suc-
cess story. These are among the descriptions earned by
Carroll Shelby. Hes an icon that embodies the ingenuity,
tenacity and grit needed to win in business, competition and
philanthropy.
The Shelby name is synonymous with performance. Its a
part of the mans DNA, which was molded and shaped
during years of competition. His vision of the automobile
changed the rules for automotive performance forever.
Today, Carroll Shelby and the companies he founded are a
driving force for products and industries worldwide
As Carroll Shelby continued with yet another milestone of a
800 horsepower Shelby GT500 Super Snake to be the most
powerful American muscle car introduced at the New York
International Auto Show. In addition to the Super Snake,
Shelby American will also display the limited edition 2012
Shelby GT350 coupe and convertible.

Shelby American has a rich history at the New York Inter-
national Auto Show, said John Luft, president of Shelby
American Inc. The very frst Shelby car was introduced
here in 1962, as well as the 1968 and 2008 Shelby
GT500KR and the 2006 Shelby Hertz GT-H. This year,
were returning with one of the most powerful and important
Shelbys ever built.
Born on the drag strip and road course of Las Vegas Motor
Speedway, Shelby American and its partner Ford Racing,
created an aggressive suspension and engine package that
turns the Ford Shelby GT500 into a world class supercar.
Even more power is available for the 2012 model year.
There will be a limited production of Super Snakes avail-
able to customers starting May 1, 2011.
With more horsepower, the 2012 Shelby GT500 Super
Snake is a strong performer both on the road and the
track, noted Gary Patterson, vice president of operations
at Shelby American. This Super Snake will deliver the
driving experience that enthusiasts expect from the Shelby
brand.
The new Super Snake post title package is one of the very
few vehicles that generates up to 800 horsepower on pump
gas. Not only is the high performance vehicle legal in 50
states, the unique, limited production supercar allows Shelby
fans the opportunity to experience the power of one of
Americas legendary muscle cars for under $100,000; this
includes the Shelby Super Snake package and the GT500
base vehicle.
