A desirable post facelift look is the one that is so natural that even the closest to you will have a hard time figuring out what was done. Dr. Mans natural looking facelift is designed to tighten the facial muscles and sagging skin with no visible incisions or distortion of the hair line. Dr. Mans natural looking face lift also improves the jowl line and provides a more pleasant contour of the face, giving you a youthful, radiant appearance that will keep everyone guessing.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS BELIEVE

The year is coming to a close and I am grateful for the success at Lifestyle Media Group. A little more than 10 years ago, I was sitting in my dining room with a vision to grow a business that would build a better community: A world class magazine

company supporting our community, company and clients.My goal was 10 magazines in 10 years to ful ll this

dream. I also envisioned an elite marketing, creative and editorial team that would be the envy of other rms. This year we not only achieved the objective, but met my expectations of being poised for further growth.

Now, I have the privilege to welcome the former Editor-in-Chief of the South Florida Business Journal to the Lifestyle Media Group Team. Kevin Gale joins the journey to put us on the pinnacle of being the most relevant local content provider to our readers while elevating the reputation of our advertising partners. He brings the experience and expertise to ensure a sustainable media company. I am proud to introduce him as our Editor-in-Chief!

Other publications try to cultivate the market, however, only Lifestyle Magazines has given its heart and soul to support our city and those organizations in it, throughout the years. This investment has been bene cial to all concerned. Feedback tells me our readers and advertising partners place a great value on the effort and the mutually bene cial results.

Our commitment is to continue this endeavor. With Kevin on board, we have furthered our pledge to elevate our reputation, as well as that of our clients and community. We will work together to help everyone achieve greatness.

Speaking of greatness, in this issue we look at celebrities who have chosen to make our community their hometown. From sports icons to those we see on television and the movie screen, our city has provided all the comforts the stars desire. I hope you nd this feature interesting and insightful, as well as an af rmation you also made a great decision to live right here!

I conclude with the hope that your year has met your expectations, you have achieved all your goals, and the New Year looks even brighter. If it hasnt, I encourage you to continue to press on to attain your dreams. Look up, get up and never give up! Believe.

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanza and Happy New Year!

As always, enjoy the Lifestyle.

Hello Sunny South FloridaBroward tourism launches a $6.5 million advertising campaign

As a South Floridian you have no problem picturing yourself lounging on a sunny beach on any given afternoon. But for prospective snow birds, that image takes a little more creative effort to paint. Thats why Greater Fort Lauderdale tourism of cials are banking on a new multimillion-dollar advertising campaign to boost interest in the destination and attract more overnight visitors in 2014.

Using the theme SPF (Sunny Partner Focus) 2014, Weve Got You Covered, the marketing initiative will include major consumer events in key markets such as New York. One ad campaign will feature heated bus-shelter seats in the shape of lounge chairs by Grand Central Station in January. We are once again raising the bar with a $6.5 million advertising program, the most ever spent in the bureaus history, and aim to shatter our record-breaking tourism numbers in 2014, said Nicki E. Grossman, president of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau. Similar marketing efforts are planned for Chicago in February, Washington, D.C. in March and So Paulo, Brazil, in April, as part of the Weve Got You Covered road show.

MJ Helps Dedicate An HIV MuseumWorlds First Will Open in Wilton Manors

It has been 21 years since basketball great Earvin Magic Johnson shocked the world by announcing that he was HIV positive. Coming full circle, Johnson was in Broward recently to dedicate the World AIDS Museum and Educational Center, the rst of its kind in the U.S.

The museum, to open early next year, was funded by a $94,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Broward, and from 34 individual donations of at least $1,200 each. The museum will feature an AIDS Chronology, a multimedia timeline of the disease, and a room where people can video personal stories for a virtual quilt of memories. Beyond its importance as an archival record, museum President Steven Sagon sees the facility as a tourist attraction.

Plans for Sustainability Go SolarA $1.575 million grant will reduce the cost of installing solar panels in Broward

Broward County continues to make strides in the battle for sustainability. After trimming the time it takes to obtain a rooftop solar permit to 30 minutes with online permitting, the Go SOLAR Florida team is now tackling the issue of cost. Since most expenses to install solar panels are soft costsanything other than the equipment itself, such as installation and maintenancethe U.S. Department of Energy issued a Rooftop Solar Challenge II to encourage local communities to cut those extra fees. The reward: A $1.575 million grant.

The Go SOLAR Florida team, which includes nine Broward cities, the city of Venice in Sarasota County, the Florida Solar Energy Center and Florida Atlantic University, was one of only 8 recipients of the Rooftop Solar Challenge to receive the award nationwide. Over the next 2 years the money will help fund everything from technical assistance to nancing programs to a solar energy festival, currently set for June 6-7 in Fort Lauderdale.

Walk of FameThe Broward Education Foundation honors distinguished alumni

Nearly 400 people showed up in downtown Fort Lauderdale for the Broward Education Foundations inaugural Hall of Fame awards program for distinguished alumni. With former Dolphin Twan Russell serving as emcee, seven outstanding alumni were honored for contributions to education and communityand their own success.

Among those honored were educators Dr. Dorothy Jackson Orr (retired Broward public school deputy superintendent), Erik Anderson (Tropical Elementary principal), Susan Franklin Adams Colton (Parkside Elementary principal) and Lori Sessions (JP Taravella High School theater

director). For achievements outside the classroom, honors went to City of Fort Lauderdale Commissioner Bobby DuBose, Great American Farms CEO Alan Levy, and Stiles Corporation Chairman and CEO Terry Stiles.

All honorees attended public school in Broward, and all were awarded

with a Hollywood-style star in the granite pavers outside the Broward County School Board headquarters. Every student has potential, and its our job to ensure they reach their full potential, said Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie at the late October ceremony.

01. Dixie Pig BBQDixie bills itself as Back Yard

Barbecuing at its Best!! and its pretty close to the truth. The place feels like someones backyard, with makeshift gazebos for seating outside and nothing more than a tiled porch for inside eating, lit by yellow uorescentsway Redneck. But their ribs are unbeatable, crisp on the outside and soft, fall-off-the-bone inside. The sauce is North Carolina-style vinegar-base, and they bottle their own, with Gold (honey mustard), Hot, Sweet (nice and thick) and Vinegar variations. The sign on the wall says it all Mountain Dew Sold Here. Ya-hoo.4495 N. Dixie Highway,

Oakland Park

954-772-5977

02. Chez PorkysYou dont do business for 29 years

in one location unless you are doing something right. Starting out as a Cajun-style ribs & wings place, with some nice seafood gumbo and Louisiana shrimp dishes, they have expanded the menu to include

nouveau American tastessuch as really original hot raspberry chicken wings that are a knockout. They also have the hands-down best BBQ chickenmeaty, moist, tastyand baby-back ribs that really do fall off the bones. Lots of pig paraphernalia and Mardi Gras bric-a-brac dress up the place, and their BBQ avor has an Asian in uence that makes it more interesting than your average sauce.105 SW 6th St., Pompano

954-946-5590

03. Rock n Roll Ribs

Owned by the drummer from Iron Maiden, there is heavy metal music on the big screen and enough platinum records and guitars for a rock museum. What really rocks here is the pulled pork, which melts in your mouth, and the ribs arent bad either. The sauces are sweet; the hot sauce has a nice tang and the mustard sauce is very tasty. Overall its the most upscale BBQ environment out there, with drop lighting, dark wood and window booths. The sauce for the fried onion rings is take-home good. Great coleslaw, too.4651 State Rd. 7, Coral Springs

954-345-7429 (RIBZ)

04. Voodoo BBQ Okay, so its a chain, and it feels like

a chainbright, noisy, with a fast-food approach. Having said that, they do a few things really well, which is why they have lines out the door. One of their standouts, and not common for BBQ places, is a slow-smoked brisket that is moist and delicious. Also, their pulled pork has just the right burned bits to give it a little chew. They serve a lot of New Orleans style food, too, such as Gumbo and Jambalaya; the Mojo Crystal, their hot sauce, is a hallmark of their regional taste.151 N. Hiatus Road, Pembroke Pines

6312 N. Andrews Ave., Ft. Lauderdale

954-443-8406; 954-492-2825

05. Jacks Bar-B-QAbove all, Jacks brings the smoke:

In the parking lot is an old barrel smoker, burning oak logs that are stacked along side. Dubbed The Smokehouse of the South, that smell alone is enough to draw you inside, where you can get beef ribs, baby backs, smoked chicken or pulled pork. Because they smoke their meats, you get that pink look inside, tasty yet rm, enhanced by their molasses-based sauce. Theyve got some nice sides, too, like collard greens and cornbread. The inside is nothing fancy, just simple tables with rolls of paper towels for when things get sloppy; theres a drive-through pickup if you want to eat at home.500 E. Oakland Park Blvd.,

Fort Lauderdale

What makes for great Bar-B-Que? Some say its

the way the meat is cooked, for others it has to do with the sauce. We searched far and wide to discover these gems, some more diamond-in-the-rough

than others, but all tasty treats.

Bigger, Faster, BetterTHE NEW RICK CASE VW DEALERSHIP IS THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD. BUT ITS NOT JUST FOR SHOW.

By J.P Faber

On a hot day in August, construction magnate Terry Stiles took the podium at a topping off ceremony for a new building his crew was racing to complete: A Volkswagen dealership in a strip of Davie along I-75 that borders

Weston. Behind him a massive slab of pre-cast concrete, decorated with U.S., Florida and Styles Corp. ags, was readied for its nal hoist to the top.

I just wanted to thank my guys for all their hard work, he said, noting that two crews had worked 12 hours a day, six days a week to erect the structure in record time. Of course its still not fast enough for Rick Case, he said, with a deliberate wink.

The structure that Styles workers were laboring to wrap up is purportedly the largest VW dealership in the world, both in terms of height and square footage. Its job: To house so many new VWs that any combination

of color, style, interior and option package would be available to a would-be customer. Like some scene out of the Matrix, where rows and rows of armaments pop up to offer a seemingly in nite choice, the idea is that you can dial up your dream auto and have it available immediately. Its also the latest jewel in the crown for Case, one of South Floridas auto dealership kingpins, with a reputation for being driven and getting things done.

Were just trying to make it easy for the customer, says Case, whose auto dealership empire includes Nissan, Volvo, Toyota, VW, Fiat and Honda outlets. To make it fast and easy to buy a car.

That may seem like an obvious tactic in a world of incredible choice options, but its really a new wrinkle in an old businessand just the latest in Cases arsenal of tools to attract new customers and retain existing ones.

Among his earlier innovations: Doubling the factory warranties of his cars. Which means that if a carmaker guarantees its vehicles for ve years and/or 10,000 miles, Case doubles that to 10 years and/or 20,000 miles. Which is one reason that he stopped carrying lines of American cars 20 years ago (Theyre better now, but back then I was constantly doing warranty work, he says.)

retail

Rick Case and his wife Rita break ground on the new VW dealership.

Were just trying to

make it easy for the

customer. To make it

fast and easy to buy

a car, says Rick Case.


Another perk for customers: A discount gasoline center, where Case sells fuel to his customers at cut-rate prices. We buy tankers and sell the gas at wholesale prices, he says. But better still are the car washes. All you have to do is pull up and get a car wash. He also lures customers back with a rewards card program, so that every time they buy a car from a Rick Case dealership they earn points toward future discounts. The Rick Case rewards save you hundreds, even thousand of dollarsand the car washes are free!

As for the new VW dealership, Cases superlatives are matched by some record-breaking gures. At 95 feet high, it actually is the tallest, and

at 328,000 square feet, it actually is the largest VW dealership in the world. Case would have made it larger, but it was the biggest he could get the city of Davie to approve. When it comes on line this month (December) it will house 800 cars and 200 employees, most of them armed with iPads so they can instantly supply information to customers who will travel with them by elevator to one of eight oors, all stocked with different models, all basking in the glow of LED lighting.

Its all part of the Case here-and-now approach to sales, including keeping models of the competition in house. If they say Im going to look at [another make] well let them try it

right then, he says.Case, meanwhile, continues to

push the envelope of both the art and science of selling cars. Last year he celebrated his 50th year in the business, and this year hes announced a three-year sponsorship agreement with the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. In exchange, Rick Case automobiles will be on display at BCPAalong with signage, playbill ads and a lobby kiosk.

I just love the business, says Case. I love dealing with people. That is fortunate, since 600,000 BCPA patrons will be ling past his new car displays each year. And if they want a particular VW, theres certain to be one in stock. Q

The largest VW dealership in the world is the latest jewel in the crown for Rick Case.

The rst time colleges called Roger Harriott and asked him politely to leave his job and join their teams he wasnt even a state champion. Not anymore.

Harriott, who took over the high school football program at NSUs University School in 2007, hasnt had a losing season sinceincluding the 2010-2012 years of 12-1,12-1, and 14-1. But the best was last year, when Harriott steered his squad to a 13-0 record and a 24-17 win in the Class 3A state championship game against a team from Madison, FL. Every team has a different personality and last years team just was determined to win, Harriott says.

Funny thing is, most people didnt think Harriott would still be the coach last year. He had earlier accepted a job offer to become the running-backs coach at Syracuse University before having a change of heart.

It was the most agonizing decision my wife Merisa and I had to make, he says. It was a very attering opportunity. After thinking things through, however, Harriott decided to stay. We felt like that opportunity might disrupt our family dynamic. So we decided to turn it back around and come back to University School. Its been nothing but a blessing.

That hasnt stopped college football coaches from ringing Harriotts phone, however. Its only gotten worse since he won the Class 3A state title last year, including the Sun Sentinel naming him one of the top candidates for the vacant FAU head coach gig.

It has been a dif cult process because thereve been several intercollegiate programs that have offered me various positions, just recently, says Harriott. Its just humbling, to be honest with you.

What keeps Harriott at University School, the high school on the Davie campus of Nova Southeastern University, is what he calls the schools therapeutic environment, which gives students a safe place to grow. Its just a very heartwarming and welcoming place.

Harriott, a former running back for St. Thomas Aquinas High School and Villanova University, also thrives on the opportunities that football presents for teaching life lessons to high school students. Just recently, Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin made the news because he left the team amid reports that he was bullied. Harriott didnt shy away from talking about it with his team.

From a leadership standpoint you always want to take current events and help kids realize why its so important to balance their emotions and make appropriate decisions, Harriott says. Those are learning lessonsand a great teaching tool.

The hope for fans and supporters of the University School football team is that Harriott cares so much about shaping young people that hell pass on bigger money for college football. That and his love of South Florida, of course.

What I love the most about Fort Lauderdale is the diversity of our culture here, he says. Were extremely accepting in regards to appreciating each other for our differences. Not to mention the weather. Q

Sometimes, extraordinary things can come from humble beginnings. As head custodian at Westchester Elementary in Coral Springs, you would never assume that Joseph Gormley would

come to stand next to celebrities like LeBron James and Mario Chalmers, raising thousands of dollars for charity.

Josephs story can be traced back to James Truslow Adams ideals for the American Dreama dream that has carried Joseph through his journey of self-discovery. Born and raised in Glasgow, Scottland, Joseph moved to Florida 10 years ago when he met and fell and love with his American wife, Erin Ruth.

He was always the artistic type, having attended college in Scotland to be a graphic designer, but it wasnt until his wife bought him a set of watercolor paints for Christmas in 2006, that he truly began to realize his own slice of the American Dream.

My wife saw my artistic talents and thought that painting would be a great hobby for me to do in my free time. To my surprise, I came to truly enjoy it. I tried all types of styles and mediumsmy favorite being acrylic pop art, says Joseph. It has taken me six years to nd my true style for the brand Joseph Gormley Art and I am still learning.

In April of 2012, Josephs wee hobby evolved into somewhat of a hometown phenomenon. I painted a portrait of Neil Lennon, the Head Coach of my favorite Scottish Soccer team, Celtic FC. My artwork was given to a website called CQN (Celtic Quick News) and was put on eBay to raise money for an 11-year-old girl in Scotland who needed help for an overseas cancer treatment, recalls Joseph. Within days, his painting raised $8,000 for her treatment.

It was such an awesome feeling, knowing that I had done something to make a difference in someone elses life.

After that moment I knew I wanted to help others and that I could use my gift of painting to do it, he says.

Since then, Josephs artwork has graced the walls of the Sun Life Stadium, the BB&T Center, and the homes of dozens of celebrities. His paintings have been seen and signed by celebrities like Rod Stewart, David Beckham, Steven Tyler, Wimbledon winner Andy Murray, ex-Miami Hurricane Bennie Blades, Seattle Seahawks players Marshawn Lynch and quarterback Russell Wilson. And he has raised money for several charitable organizations, including The Osacar Knox Appeal, The Yorkhill Childrens Foundation, The Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund, The Prestige Club, and The Boys and Girls Club.

This is just the beginning of my American Dream, says Joseph. One day I hope to reach my goal of raising $1 million for charity. Coming to America and making a million for myself, thats boringits been done. But, coming to America and raising a million for other peoplethat will tell people, long after Im gone, about what kind of man I wanted to be. My artwork is a legacy I will be proud to leave behind.

Business Report CardA Good Year For Broward Economic Development

Each fall the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance announces its achievements in economic development at an annual mega meeting. This years presentation at the Signature Grand in

Davie marked the Alliances 50th birthdayit was rst founded as the Broward Industrial Board in 1963and drew a record audience of 650.

One big focus was on new transportation initiatives underway or planned for Broward County, one reason why Dave Barger, president and CEO of JetBlue Airways, was the keynote speaker. He used the occasion to reveal expansion plans for the airline at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

Bargers report was just one of a bevy of announcements about new companies, new jobs and, equally important, retained jobsthose that might have gone elsewhere without incentives to stay. Altogether the alliance, Broward Countys of cial public/private partnership for economic development, reported that it helped attract 22 new company relocations and expansions during its 2012-13 scal year ending Sept. The result: more than 1,700 new value-added jobs, nearly 1,500 retained jobs and more than $180 million in new capital investment.

Some of the companies that relocated or expanded in Broward County were:

Actavis, a generic pharmaceutical manufacturer in Davie, is adding 220 new jobs and retaining 509 jobs, and will make a $40.5 million capital investment.

Anthem Education, a Fort Lauderdale headquarterd company for post-secondary educational institutions, is adding 70 new jobs and retaining 85.

Citrix, the leading software developer with headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, is adding 200 new jobs and making a $7.5 million capital investment.

Great Healthworks, a Hollywood company that develops and manufactures nutraceuticals, will add 401 jobs and retain 320.

Parallon, a healthcare company/workforce solutions company headquartered in Sunrise, will add 125 new jobs and retain 164, and plans to invest $3.9 million.

The alliance also announced two new company expansions, starting with Peoples Trust Insurance Co., a Florida-based company that provides affordable homeowners insurance. New to Broward, it will provide 500 jobs300 immediately and 200 more in the next 24 monthsas it moves into the Research Park at Florida Atlantic Universitys Deer eld Beach campus.

The second was Nyrstar, a global mining and metals business, which will establish its new corporate headquarters for the Americas in downtown Fort Lauderdale, adding 25 new jobs at an average salary of $143,000.

This past year was a banner year for the alliance, said Bob Swindell, president and CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance. Our work to diversify Browards economy, with our partners, is paying off in many waysincluding the fact that Broward County had the lowest unemployment rate of any urban area in Florida for all of 2013.

At its annual fete, the alliance also installed FP&L executive Ben Wesley as the new chairman of the board, and awarded Mike Jackson, Chairman and CEO of AutoNation, with its 2013 Ray Ferrero Jr. Economic Development Leadership Award. Q

Fort Lauderdale area is not without its own glitz and glamour. There are

lots of hometown kids who went off to make it big, as well as famous (and

infamous) faces that have settled down here. They are the Bold and the

Beautiful of Broward who have made their mark in the world. Here is a

city-by-city survey of the celebrities among us.

festW

hen you think of sunny South Florida, a winter wonderland with spectacular holiday lights, ornaments and whimsical decorations is not the image that

dances through your mind. Yet, every December, for more than four decades, Fort Lauderdale transforms its waterways into a dazzling aquatic procession of maritime merriment. The Seminole Hard Rocks Annual Winterfest Boat Parade, which many revelers call the greatest show on H2O, explodes onto the New River with more than 100 vessels, ranging in size from mega yachts to paddle boats, all gratuitously adorned in holiday splendor.

The oating holiday party kicks off with an explosion of reworks from a special barge as the otilla starts on its 12-mile route at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, departing from the New River docks near the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. The carnival convoy travels east past the historic Stranahan House and Riverside Hotel, moving down the New River before turning north on the Intracoastal Waterway. From there, the parade proceeds to Lake Santa Barbara in Pompano Beach.

Since its maiden voyage in 1971, the Winterfest Boat Parade has grown from a local celebration into an international holiday festival. It inspires community pride and increases awareness of the Greater Fort Lauderdale area as a ood of tourists join the festivities each year.

My involvement in Winterfest goes back about 20 years, says Winterfest Chairman Ken Ortner. I believe in giving back to my community and Winterfest is just one way I do so. Winterfest is a wonderful family event that has been a great economic bene t to Greater Fort Lauderdale.

This years theme, Passport to Paradise, brings a global are to the parade. From Eiffel Tower masts to Mariachi bands on deck, boaters are encouraged to take you on a trip around the world.

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is proud to

be a part of the Winterfest Boat Parade for another year, says Michael Volkert, president of the parades lead sponsor, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood. This landmark celebration continues to be a holiday staple, highly anticipated by the community, and made possible through the dedication and creativity of our philanthropic leaders.

Says John D. Brant, executive vice president at Patriot National Insurance Group (another parade sponsor), At Patriot, we believe in supporting our community and nothing embodies the best of what South Florida is all about better than Winterfest.

As the seventh largest spectator event in the country, the parade attracts over one million attendees and is televised nationally to millions of homes. With so much hoopla, it might be hard to gure out where to take it all in. Not to worry. This guide will help you nd the best vantage points so you dont miss any of the action. Although the holiday season has already jump started with the exclusive White Party and Family Fun Day, there are still plenty of special events to enjoy.
