I remember the sand under my feet and the sun bursting its

powerfully humbling light down on me as the wheels in my head turned on Miami’s South Beach. I remember all the boundless goals I was setting in my mind for the potential Ritmo Revolution that I just became a part of. I remember being excited for my new journey of building my dreams and those of the family of professionals around me into remarkable realities. There is something freeing about a beautiful beach and all too often I get glimpse of exactly that from the statements I hear others proclaim while having the pleasure to vacation. Perhaps its the view of a seemingly limitless sea inviting you to step into its possibilities. Perhaps it’s the feeling of seeing the metaphor of a new beginning at the sands’ end. Perhaps it’s the feeling of being humbled by the suns powerful rays almost weighing you down by their brightness and heat. Perhaps for a simple mind it’s even just a common escape from the same troubles they already chose to bear with them. However for me there is one thing that happens every time I am blessed to feel sand beneath my feet...I dream...I dream with my eyes open. So, in this month’s edition of Ritmo, you will see we have brought the beach to you. For our team is made of exactly that...dreamers. What you are holding in your hand is the substance of us turning the dream and vision of Ritmo Magazine into a reality. The beauty in it is it doesn’t end there...it goes much deeper. Turn these pages and realize with every page there is a story behind it. From our creative team of writers, photographers, stylists, makeup artists, hair stylists, graphic designers

and countless others living the dream of painting on the canvas of life. From our family of DJs, musicians, composers, hosts, dancers and countless others putting together the addictive “Ritmo” that gives us no choice but to move. From our valued advertisers seeing what the impact of being involved in our Latin community has done for their businesses which they have poured their hearts out into building. These are the dreamers that make up the Ritmo family. That is what you are holding in your hand right now...hundreds of dreams turned into reality. So I invite you... Dream with us.

-David Rodriguez

Mis amigos de Ritmo magazine como les va? Espero que muy

bien, aqui estoy para continuar nuestra novela la cual esta es la tercera parte. Para empezar quiero que me expliquen si alguien sabe porque será, que algunos amigos en “Feisbu” (Facebook), escriben todo lo que hacen en un día, en serio, ustedes creen que de verdad a el resto de sus amistades les interera saber, por ejemplo: me acabo de bañar, estoy en el mall, necesito un consejo de si debo de ponerme esta ropa o esta otra, helloooooo, a quien le importa, porque no mejor ponen: acabo de ayudar a un ancianito a cruzar la calle, o acompañe a unos niños en su programa despues de la escuela, algo constructivo y digno de que uno le de al botoncito de “Like”, no puedo con estos amigos. Por otro lado ya llegó el fin de verano y ya saben como la gente se ponen, todo el mundo en la calle, nadie para en la casa, pero hay gente que de

verdad se merecen ganar un premio por el estatus en su muro, como el más aburrido de todos, por ejemplo: Lunes vamos para la playita, Martes estoy en la playita, Miercoles, no tengo nada que hacer, me voy para la playita, Jueves, Viernes y Sabado, diantre ya, por favor bajale un poco a ese fuego que esta a 90 grados, jejejejeje. Por último y esto si va en serio, mi gente, tengan mucho cuidado con lo que ustedes publican en sus muros, ya que despues que se le pase la borachera se pueden arrepentir, cuando ustedes son “disque” famosos deben de comportarse a nivel, pues lo que uno escribe puede traer consecuencias negativas. Bueno mi gente esto es todo por esta ocación vamos todos a disfrutar de un fin de verano al rojo vivo pero con mucho ritmo, se les quiere de a gratis besitos muuaahhzz.

¿Qué es una úlcera?

Las úlceras son llagas en el tejido de revestimiento del tubo digestivo. Su tubo digestivo está compuesto por el esófago, estómago, duodeno (la primera porción de los intestinos) y los intestinos. La mayoría de las úlceras se localizan en el duodeno. Estas úlceras se llaman úlceras duodenales. Las úlceras que se localizan en el estómago se llaman úlceras gástricas. Las úlceras en el esófago se llaman úlceras esofágicas.

¿Cuáles son las causas de las úlceras?

Los médicos solían creer que las úlceras se producían a causa del estrés o por comer comidas que contenían demasiado ácido. Nosotros ahora sabemos que esto no es cierto. La mayoría de las úlceras son causadas por una infección. La infección es causada por una bacteria (microbio) llamada Helicobacter pylori que se abrevia como H. pylori. El ácido y

otros jugos producidos por el estómago pueden contribuir a la formación de úlceras ya que pueden quemar el tejido de revestimiento de su tubo digestivo. Esto puede ocurrir si su cuerpo produce mucho ácido o si el tejido de revestimiento de su tubo digestivo está dañado de algún modo. La tensión física o emocional (estrés) puede no necesariamente causar una úlcera, pero puede agravar una úlcera si usted tiene una. Los medicamentos antiinflamatorios también pueden causar úlceras. A pesar de que la mayoría de las personas toman estos medicamentos sin ningún problema, su uso a largo plazo puede dañar el tejido de revestimiento del estómago y ocasionar úlceras. Los medicamentos antiinflamatorios incluyen la aspirina, el ibuprofeno (un nombre de marca: Motrin), naproxeno (nombre de marca: Aleve), ketoprofeno (nombres de marca: Actron, Orudis KT) y algunos medicamentos para tratar la artritis que se obtienen con receta.

INTERVIEWS WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

J-Lo celebra sus 42 años solterita y en MiamiPor ahí dicen que al mal

tiempo buena cara y, eso es justamente lo que ha estado haciendo Jennifer López, quien celebró su cumpleaños junto a su familia en Miami en una amena cena en el restaurante Scarpetta, en el hotel Fontainebleau, de Miami.

De acuerdo a People, la cantante apagó sus 42 velitas en el establecimiento, propiedad de Scott Conant, rodeada de familiares y amigos, entre quienes se encontraban su mamá y su estilista. A pesar de que hace pocos días La diva de el Bronx y Marc Anthony anunciaron su separación, al parecer la artista estaba de muy buen

humor. “Jennifer se veía radiante con un vestido de cóctel púrpura y plata. También usó uno con figuras asimétricas. Después de que llegó su pastel de cumpleaños, ella se puso a cantar. “Todos la pasamos de maravilla durante horas”, comentó una fuente. Una de las sorpresas que recibió la cumpleañera fue un suflé de chocolate que

creó especialmente para ella el chef de la pastelería Forge. Al día siguiente la jueza de American Idol (FOX) estuvo de compras, visitando exclusivas boutiques de Bal Harbour Shops, donde al parecer compró varios conjuntos infantiles para sus mellizos, Max y Emme.

Espero que para este fin de erano esten en forma

jajaja asi pueden ir a la playa y mostrar su fisico. Comer de manera sana no tiene por qué darte mucho trabajo. Seguir algunas pautas sencillas puede ayudarte a crear comidas que te hagan sentir maravillosamente bien. Una guía fácil para comer bien. Implementá estos planes y sentirás la diferencia

en cuestión de días: * Disfruta de por lo menos dos porciones de pescado por semana, una de las cuales debe ser un pescado graso como salmón, trucha, caballa, sardinas o atún fresco. * No freir la comida - cocinala a la parrilla, escalfada o al vapor. * Intenta comer por lo menos cinco porciones de frutas y verduras por día. Una porción puede consistir de

una fruta mediana o de un vaso de jugo recién exprimido, un plato de ensalada

o dos cucharadas de verduras crudas, cocidas, enlatadas o congeladas. * Elegir productos lácteos de bajo contenido de grasa, como por ejemplo, la leche descremada, el yogurt y el queso de bajo contenido en grasa. * Organiza cada comida sobre la base de algún hidrato de carbono con mucho almidón - como por ejemplo el pan, las papas o el arroz.

* Come más fibras, obtenidas de frutas, verduras, lentejas y cereales integrales. * Utiliza menos sal - trata de darle gusto a la comida con jugo de limón, hierbas, ajo, especias o mostaza. * Elegir un producto untable rico en grasas poliinsaturadas, en vez de la manteca que es rica en grasas saturadas. * Disfruta de golosinas, tortas, galletitas y alimentos grasos como las papas fritas sólo para darte un gusto cada tanto.

COCINANDO CON JENNY RITMOM A G A Z I N E

Gloria de los Ángeles Treviño Ruiz nació en Monterrey, Nuevo León, el 15 de febrero de 1968) conocida artísticamente como Gloria Trevi; es una cantantautora, actriz y dibujante mexicana. Es una figura controvertida en la historia del pop y rock en español. Con sus álbumes como solista, películas taquilleras, giras agotadas de presentaciones en directo y calendarios provocativos (con los cuales vendió millones de copias), Trevi se convirtió

en una de las mujeres más atractivas, influyentes y famosas de la década de los ‘90s. Su imagen provocativa y sexual fue clave para que los sectores conservadores la criticaran, llegando a comparaciones con Madonna y Prince por promover la libertad sexual de una manera abierta con la finalidad de molestar a la sociedad conservadora. Propuso su idea de participar en la candidatura por la presidencia de México para 2006. Dentro de sus temas más populares se destacan: Dr. psiquiatra, Pelo Suelto, Zapatos Viejos, El Recuento de los Daños, Todos me Miran, Cinco Minutos y Pruébamelo, Me Rio de Ti y Esa Hembra es Mala! Con ocho producciones musicales y numerosas compilaciones ha logrado vender alrededor de 12 millones de copias de sus discos mundialmente, siendo una de las artistas femeninas mejor vendidas en la industria mexicana.

R itmo Magazine logró obtener una entrevista especial con la presidenta de MJ & Associates

May Cordero. En esta entrevista se enterarán de todo lo que este grupo de mujeres profesionales hacen y se sorprenderán todo lo que hacen por la comunidad. Para ver la entrevista en video visiten: Ritmomag.com/interviews. -Ray Garcia

ENTREVISTA ESPECIALRITMOM A G A Z I N E

E l 30 de Junio del año 1978 nació en

la República Dominicana una niña. Al pasar los años, esa chiquita se convirtió en una niña estudiosa con meritos reconocidos hasta por el presidente de los Estados Unidos. Esa niña parecia tenerlo todo. Ella se convirtio en mujer y ya era toda una profesional en la carrera de medicina. Pero no saben lo que pase durante esos años. Cuando

la nina era pequeña ella fue abusada fisicamente por sus padres. El abuso fisico la marco de tal manera, que a los 14 anos, ella se fue con un joven para escapar de esa vida. Tristemente, no fue asi, con ese joven tambien sufrió maltratos mentales y fisicos. Ella paso frio y hambre. Para poder comer tuvo que caer muy bajo y hacer cosas ilegales. Lo más difícil fue dormir por un mes en su carro porque no tenia donde vivir. Al pasar el tiempo, ella se convirtió en una mujer fuerte y segura. Se caso, se convirtió en madre y gracias a Dios, ella siguio sus metas de alcanzar las estrellas mas

altas del cielo. Esa niña, soy yo Brenda Disla! Ahora, muchos se preguntarán, “como lo logró?” Con paciencia, determinación, valentia y por sobre todas las cosas, nunca me di por vencida. Me enfoqué en estudiar, y con los estudios vinieron muchas ventajas para mi. Me propuse una meta de que yo queria ayudar a los menos afortunados. El verano pasado me tropeze con una persona muy distinguida que me trato como toda una profesional y allí me di cuenta que yo era una nueva persona. Decidí que iba a tomar las riendas de mi vida y hoy tengo el honor de decir

que soy la unica latina en el Valle de Lehigh que representa el hospital de niños conocido como St. Jude Children’s Hospital. El año pasado fue un honor recibir este titulo y cortar el lazo de la caminata anual la cual yo ayude a recaudar mas de $5,500.00. El querer es poder y yo le pido a toda la comunidad latina y a todas las mujeres, que al igual que yo pase por muchos tropiezos, por favor nunca se den por vencidos. Si yo pude, ustedes tambien lo pueden lograr.

Queria expresar lo impactada que quede cuando vi su ultima edición. Todo el contenido quedo muy bien estructurado y a la altura de una revista de mucha categoria! Con cada edición demuestran mucho mas su talento y no puedo esperar para ver su nueva edición que se que estara “ratata”! Solo un consejo me gustaria que añadieran una seccion dedicada a el amor. Espero que tomen en consideración mi sugerencia y mi carta.

-Waleska TorresPhiladelphia, PA

Hola mis queridos amigos de Ritmo magazine honestamente les quiero agradecer por tan bonita revista que han traido a este Valle de Lehigh. Siempre estoy atenta para saber cuando sale su próxima revista y tambien a los eventos que patrocinan. Quisiera felicitarlos a todos por su labor que sé que trabajan muy fuerte para poder alcanzar un trabajo muy profesional y dejame decirles que lo han logrado. La revista se ve muy profesional y muy bien diseñada! Gracias por todo el ritmo que le dan a Allentown.

1. No comer en los aeropuertos o

estaciones. Mismo si es sólo un sándwich terminará costando mucho más de lo que debería. Lo mejor es comer antes de ir al aeropuerto o esperar a llegar a la ciudad. Los vuelos que no incluyen comida, como por ejemplo los de viajar de un estado a otro, hay que evitar comprar a bordo pues los precios son excesivos.

2. Evitar comprar en los negocios

que están cerca de los monumentos o lugares muy turísticos. Un mismo objeto puede costar el doble frente a la torre Eifel. De seguro alejarse un poco de los lugares donde no frecuenta tanto los turistas garantizará mejores precios.

3. La regla que los viajeros conocen

perfectamente, viajar de noche para ahorrar

en alojamiento, es aplicable a todos los viajeros. En muchos lugares los trayectos son largos y los transportes están bien preparados para pasar la noche sin problemas. Entre las ventajas podemos contar que, aparte de ahorrar en alojamiento, no perdemos tiempo del día en movernos de un lugar a otro, sino que llegamos frescos a la ciudad y listos para descubrir una ciudad.

4. En muchos casos es necesario regatear.

Mismo si no nos gusta, será la única forma de poder obtener un precio justo por lo que queramos comprar.

5. Viajar en grupo. Pero no muy

grande, ni muy chico: el número mágico para ahorrar al viajar es 4 personas. Cuatro personas pueden rentar tours que serán privados y obtendrán por ello un buen precio. Si viajan

solos siempre podrán juntarse con otros viajeros y así conseguir mejores precios.

6.Elegir el alojamiento de

forma inteligente, permite ahorrar bastante dinero: albergues con habitaciones compartidas y derecho a cocina son una buena opción, carpa para quienes gusten de hacer camping o, para los aventureros, una caravana puede ser una interesante opción.

7.Finalmente es importante que

evitemos compras compulsivas. En los lugares turísticos se imponen las casas de souvenirs y todo puede parecer bonito y tentador. Evitando compras sin sentido no sólo ahorraremos dinero sino que también nuestra maleta estará más liviana.

En todo el hemisferio norte las vacaciones de fin de verano ya han iniciado. Si usted está planeando salir de

viaje hacia el sol, o simplemente desea un par de días en el jardín, he aquí cinco gadgets indispensables para este fin de verano fresco que no va a querer perder.

1. Eee PC 1008HA¿Va muy lejos? Le gustaria tener una ultra-portátil con usted a fin de enviar por correo un montón de fotos a los amigos que todavía están atrapados en la oficina. Podríamos recomendar el Eee PC 1008HA. Su diseño ultra delgado, 1.1 kg, significa que no va a usar gran parte de su equipaje. Mantenga un ojo en el uso de datos en WiFi de hoteles o el cibercafé local es probable que sean las formas más baratas para estar en línea.

2. SolarGorillaEl Eee PC 1008HA tiene una duración de la batería masiva, pero no te olvides de llevar enchufes internacionales para cargarlo. Mejor aún, invertir en el SolarGorilla, que puede recargar casi cualquier ordenador portátil o teléfono utilizando el poder del sol. Es producto de socio con la batería PowerGorilla de refuerzo, vale la pena mirar también.

3. Sony Nex-3Una nueva generación de cámaras que toma lo mejor de las SLR digitales - es decir, lentes intercambiables y grandes sensores ópticos - con el pequeño cuerpo de un pacto, Sony Nex-3 es un compañero increíble. Menos de una pulgada de grosor, fotos para las vacaciones en la calidad de fotografía de periodismo. Y lo hace de vídeo de alta definición también. Artilugios de verano, ¿no?

4. Garmin ASUS Nuviphone A10Antes de ir en el fest, usted querrá saber por dónde vas. Lo último de Garmin, ASUS Nuviphone, es un potente teléfono móvil y dispositivo GPS en uno, que se puede llenar con mapas de todo el mundo y obtener direcciones en coche o a pie.

5. Play and Freeze – Ice Cream MakerMira, nos encanta la tecnología; pero no siempre relacionados con la informática. También nos encanta el helado. Así que esta es la aplicación perfecta de la ciencia en una esfera. ¿Quieren impresionar a los amigos? Acaba de lanzar los ingredientes en un extremo, un poco de hielo y sal de roca en el otro, y ruédelo. ¿Lo que sale? ¡Una bola de helado automática! ¡disfrutar de su tiempo al aire libre!

-Miguel Alvares

Estimada doctora: Me casé en el 2006 y recibí la residencia en Mayo del 2007 y ya tengo la residencia sin condicciones. Yo quiero hacerme ciudadana pero mi marido y yo nos separamos en Diciembre. Un amigo me dijo que yo puedo aplicar para la ciudadania ahora porque mi esposo es ciudadano y todavia estamos casados. Cual es el proceso para aplicar y cuanto tiempo demora?

-Margarita - Seattle, WA Estimada Margarita: USCIS acaba de anunciar que miles se naturalizaron este 4 de julio pasado. Siempre hay muchas ceremonias en el dia de la Independencia. Lamentablemente, su amigo esta equivocado y usted no puede aplicar para la ciudadania por unos meses mas. Tiene que esperar hasta febrero de 2012 cuando tenga cinco años de residencia (puede aplicar tres meses antes de su quinta aniversario de residencia). Si un individuo esta casado con un ciudadano, esa persona puede aplicar en tres años pero la pareja no puede estar seperada. El hecho que usted todavia esta casada con su marido no es suficiente para aplicar temprano. Mientras que esta esperando, usted puede empezar a estudiar porque ahorita Inmigracion anda muy rapidamente. En Filadelfia, esta demorando solo tres meses desde la fecha cuando uno aplica para la ciudadania y hasta que tenga su entrevista. Debe estar preparada. CIS tiene mucha informacion en su website (www.USCIS.gov). Hay requesitos sobre su presencia dentro de los Estados (tiene que haber estado dentro del pais fisicamente por 30 meses de los ultimos 60) y tiene que pasar el examén de la historia y el gobierno en

ingles. Si no pasa el examén la primera vez, ellos van a darle otra oportunidad, pero solamente una oportunidad mas. Si fracasa la segunda vez, tendrá que reaplicar y pagar el honorario otra vez. Desafortunamente, la aplicación N-400 ya cuesta $595 y $85 para los biometricos (fotos y huellas) para un total de $680. Talvéz, si usted estudia y pasa el examén sin problema, usted puede ser una parte de las ceremonias que van a tener el próximo 4 de Julio! Estudia bien y aplica cuanto antes. Va a tener tiempo para votar en la próxima elección para presidente tambien. Buena suerte!

ON THE COVER RITMOM A G A Z I N E

StefiChacon

That piece of paper does not define you, or your talent, but shows others your drive and discipline. Be a go getter. Also, no matter how hard it is, how much pressure there is, to maintain their respect, their class, and their composure. It is so important for a female to portray a role of intelligence as well as being saavy and street. There is going to be a lot of odds against you because you are a female in a male dominated business, as well as being a latina. You will constantly be tested and hated on. Prove them all wrong. Try to stay focused in everything you do. Be open minded and take constructive critisism, but never change who you are. Never depend on a man! and never let any distractions interfere with your goals! echa pa’lante y no mires patra!

-Stefi Chacon

1. Your Hair: Hair is definitely something that tells a lot about a woman and how she portrays herself. This end of summer, it’s so” in” to have that soft, sexy hair that men just can’t resist touching! We can ALL have this great hair day by finding the correct products that help prevent frizz/fly-aways. I myself, have the common semi-curly hair that easily frizz’ up on a hot humid day. My secret? Towel dry hair, a bit of Herbal Essences’ Tousle Me Softly and let it air dry. 2. Your Make-Up: It is no secret girls! Makeup is here to enhance our beauty NOT to make us look like circus clowns. So be easy with how and what you put on your delicate face. For great beauty tips on what is appropriate for daytime, evening or special occasions, check out our beauty section on page 39! 3. Accessories: A girl can never have too many accessories but it doesn’t mean you have to wear them all at once. No matter what you are wearing, a pair of

medium sized hoops or pearl studs, always looks sexy. For instance if you wear hoops, skip the necklace but definitely sport some sexy bangles or if you wear the studs…try a long necklace that can enhance the look you are going for. Don’t forget the bag! (I will be sharing tips on great bags that are popular on our next edition) 4. The Threads: This end of summer prints are really in style; floral, animal, etc. You can easily combine your favorite tank top with comfy skinny jeans, floral shorts/skirt and a wide belt that accentuates your curves. If you are looking for a sexy club look, try a black corset and an animal print mini skirt. You will surely be turning heads ladies! 5. Shoes: Shoes are everything! No matter if you are wearing a pair of jeans, shorts or a skirt as mentioned above, a sexy pair of heels will always do the trick! So be proud to strut your style as if the sidewalk was your own personal runway.

I nspiration is the spark needed to ignite the fire within each of us that causes us to take action. To inspire

another is to fill that person with enlivening or exulting emotions. Inspiration is the spark for motivation where motivation leads to action. Leaders motivate others for a common purpose and inspire others to do something for themselves. I have six ways to help motivate others, or help motivate yourself. 1. Use positive words: Positive words inspire positive emotions. Encourage others by reminding them of their talents, skills, and gifts. Focus on what they have done and not what they have not done. 2. Project a positive personality: Show others that you care. People don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care. Take a genuine interest in other people.

3. Be a role model: People are inspired by those who “walk the walk”. Do not be afraid to share your own stories of accomplishment. Leaders who inspire practice what they preach and lead by example. 4. Challenge others: Those leaders who we love to hate are the ones who challenge us to do our best. A properly executed challenge can both motivate and inspire. 5. Share stories: People need to believe in what is possible. Stories that people can relate too can be very inspiring. Choose stories that convey the same message you are trying to get across. 6. Be enthusiastic: There is no better way to inspire others than by being filled with enthusiasm yourself. This enthusiasm is energy that easily spreads from one person to the next. To be effective, enthusiasm must be genuine; there is no faking enthusiasm.

GO GREENRITMOM A G A Z I N E

Pools can be huge energy wasters-contributing to global warming and

boosting your energy costs. Fortunately, there are several ways to cut down on pool energy waste and still enjoy all the fun and refreshing benefits of pool ownership.

Pump Less: Many people run their pool pumps for much longer than is necessary. More use of the pump does not necessarily mean cleaner water. Try to reduce your pump time to a maximum of six hours per day. If you want to achieve even more dramatic savings, shoot for even less. Most people in a Department of Energy study in Florida were still satisfied with their water quality after using their pump for 3 hours per day. This saved them an average of 60% off their energy bill from pumping.

Efficient Heating Options: Heating can be one of the most costly elements of pool ownership-both financially and in wasted energy usage. Instead of a gas heater, consider investing in an energy efficient heater, such as a heat

pump pool heater. The best choice is a solar pool heater, which is by far the most cost-efficient option due to its low operating costs. No matter what kind of heater you have, be sure to turn the temperature down or off when you won’t be swimming for a few days. Keeping the temperature down, even just a couple degrees, will make a big difference. The Department of Energy estimates that each single degree rise in temperature will cost an additional 10%-30% more in heating costs, depending on your climate. Of course, you could always brave the colder temperatures and go without a heater at all.

Cover It: Buying a pool cover is one of the best ways to reduce pool energy usage. Heating costs can go down by as much as 70% when a cover is used. During the rest of the summer season in the Northeast, for example, this could mean savings of over $600 for the year.

1.Swear by leave-in conditioner. Don’t leave

home without it. Use it on every morning before going outside, to combat dryness. Here at Don’s & Diva’s we love Racioppi Suavita Cream by RR line.

2.Protect your tresses from the sun. This is especially

important if you color your hair! Use a spray-on UV protectent over your leave-in conditioner to prevent the sun’s rays from turning your hair a brassy shade. Racioppi Suavita Cream by RR line does the trick & fits right in your beach bag, too.

1.Add an accessory. A simple chic accessory like

a summer style pony holder gives flair and style to the simplest swimsuit. We highly recommend our Racioppi Gel by RR line to control those baby hairs.

4.Use the salt as your styling aid. Saltwater

gives hair texture and allows it to better hold a style. Take advantage by skipping the shampoo after the beach, then scrunching as you dry hair with a diffuser to get that beachy look.

5.Trim before summer. Summer tends to make

hair dry, so dead ends will really be in need of a cut. Trimming before the summer minimizes damage by removing unhealthy ends before you hit the sun. Call us today 610-432-1860 to schedule your appointment.

6.When in doubt...try a braid. Braided pigtails

look fresh and sexy at the beach. Simply part hair down the middle, braid each side, and secure.

-Judy Rodriguez

7.Apply styling

paste to short hair. A paste will give short cuts hold and definition, plus protect them from the sun and chlorine. We love & recommend Rusk being warped smoothed onto dry hair before going outside.

8.Sport a scarf.

That Jackie O. feel is always fabulous and protects hair at the same time: Tie a long headscarf over hair, letting the ends dangle.

9.Reduce blow-drying.

While you’re at the beach, vow to air-

dry your hair. Using a blowdryer after a day

in the sun can make your hair doubtly damaged.

10. Don’t leave home without

a wide-tooth comb. While saltwater is a good styling aid, it can leave hair knotted and clumpy. Spritz a bit of your Racioppi Suavita Cream by RR line UV protectant onto the comb’s teeth and run

it through strands after every swim to prevent those knots.

I t’s beach season & we all want to look divalicious at the beach. Not only is it essential to look good in that bathing suit

but how about those sexy tresses? If you want to look stunning when you hit the sand I have 10 easy ways to make it work this summer:

Beba Alvarez RodriguezExclusive Model of:

1. Red Fox tell the readers of

Ritmo Magazine a little bit about your artist career, what is your nationality and how long have you been a reggae singer? Started out from the tender age of 11 out of Jamaica.Migrated to NY at 16 years old where I started my professional career putting out songs like “Come Boggie Down”, “Down in Jamaica”, “Pose off” and “Bashment Party”. I was signed to Electra Warner Bros. where I made my debut album “As a Matter of Fox”. Co- founder of the dancehall group “Ruff Entry” which included “Shaggy, Ravon, Bajja Jed, Nikey Fungus, Screechy Dan and Mr. Easy. The first Dancehall Rapper based out of New York to sign a major deal and to appear on the Jay Leno show. Featured on the “In God we Trust” album with hip hop group “Bran Nubien”(spell check) and toured with Reggae Vocalist “Maxi Priest” for ten years. Known for bridging the gap between Hip Hop and Dancehall Reggae. Been going for 24

years strong.

2. Which was that hit that

opened up doors to you? When I did “Pose Off”. It crossed into the Hip Hop and Latino markets getting the attention of the major record companies.

3. Can you tell us what are you

working on currently? I have been putting out a lot of singles on independent labels from Jamaica and New York. Releases such as “So High” which I also did a video for, “Wanna love you” featuring young and upcoming sensation, Ishawna. “Money Bell” produced by New York’s popular Disc Jock Max Glazer, Meet me at the parkway on the (Lion Face) label and come back tonight by Ateam production. They will be a lot more releases this coming winter, which I will be doing videos for also.

5. What’s your opinion on

reggaeton? Do you see yourself doing a duet with a reggaeton singer and if so who would that artist be?

Well I love Reggaeton! I am quite open to do something with a Reggaeton artist one of these days. I am not sure who yet but we’ll see what happens in the future God spare.

6. What do you think about our

bilingual magazine bridging the gap? I think it’s great as it gives the Latinos a chance to learn more about what Reggae and Hip Hop artists are doing. Latinos have been great supporters of my music so this is a great opportunity for them to connect in what Red Fox is doing now.

7. How can people buy your music,

and if you have a website can you tell us about it? Well you can find Red Fox on all leading onlines stores. Still in the process of setting up my website but in the mean time my fans can find me on Facebook.com/originalredfox or follow me on Twitter.com/originalredfox.

8. What will be an advice that you

will give to a young

talented kid who wants to follow in your steps? Well I’ll say follow in the steps of the Almighty who creates all things. As the world evolves and things change he’ll let you know the direction you should be taking. Be humble, be original and passionate in whatever you pursue.

9. Which has been your biggest

accomplishment in your singing career? Being the first Reggae Dancehall Rapper to Sign with the Majors.

10. Thanks for this

great interview, and we will be following your new projects. Any final thoughts? You’re most welcome and I am humbled to be in Ritmo. I thank each and everyone for their support through the years. May my voice continue to blast through your speakers and love, passion and a ton load of energy. I sing because I love music and will continue to give you all the best of me. God bless!

ENTREPRENEUR OF THE MONTH RITMOM A G A Z I N E

ENTERTAINMENT RITMOM A G A Z I N E

I t is an honor for me to interview a very special and giving person like

Mr. Ozzie Rivera Sr., owner of A North Star Agency, as our “Entrepreneur Of The Month.” Mr Rivera came from Brooklyn, NY in 1976 with his wife and five children. His first job was as a project director for the Department of Labor. He also served as a counselor and job developer for the Community Action Committee of the LV. After several years of service and the strong need of an office who could serve minorities, he decided to go on his own in early 1989 by opening an insurance firm called “Rivera Insurance Services.” Mr. Rivera had to go through very tough obstacles as a hispanic because of so few opportunities available at that time.However, he felt that when you set your mind to help your community, anything was possible. His agency not only provides auto insurance and notary services, but also life insurance and products for your well-being. Mr Rivera has also received the Lifetime Literacy Achievement Award for being an inspiration to others by helping them improve their literacy. He is also currently involved in a few projects including an informative tv program, radio

show, and providing products that improve your health that is available through his website: www.anorthstarglobal.com. On a personal level, Mr. Rivera confesses that his passion has always been to become a singer. And even though he has not had the time to reach this dream, he does have his own record label. He also expresses how important it was to make time for his family and make them his priority in any situation. He is thankful for being blessed for having a wonderful wife and companion for almost 42 years. He feels that all the blessings from having several businesses and succeeding in them as well, are from God for always helping others before himself. He insists that with God, all things are possible. Mr. Rivera has not only told others of the importance of this, but also taught it to his own children whom are also successful. Because of his desire and willingness to help his community, he has reached to where others still aim. And I am very proud to say I am a friend of this good, humble and hard working “Entrepreneur.” As he said once before, “If I cannot jump over the wall, I will find a way around it..”

Alexander Emmanuel “Alex” Rodriguez (born July 27, 1975) is an American professional baseball third

baseman with the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball. Known popularly by his nickname A-Rod, he previously played shortstop for the Seattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers. Rodriguez is considered one of the best all-around baseball players of all time. He is the youngest player ever to hit 500 home runs, breaking the record Jimmie Foxx set in 1939, and the youngest to hit 600, besting Babe Ruth’s record by over a year. Rodriguez has fourteen 100-RBI seasons in his career, more than any player in history. On September 24, 2010, Rodriguez hit two home runs, surpassing Sammy Sosa’s mark of 609 HRs, and became the all-time leader in home runs by a player of Hispanic descent. In December 2007, Rodriguez and the Yankees agreed to a 10-year, $275 million contract. This contract was the richest contract in baseball history (breaking his previous record of $252 million)

Ray:If you want to have a great time with your friends, and need an elegant and spacious place to just enjoy, great music, the right place is Starters Riverport in the City of Bethlehen, PA . I was amazed when I first visited this vivid establishement, because its not just a huge night club it is also a restaurant, and if you need to have a V.I.P. section the second floor is the spot for you, where you can see everything that is happening at a glance, Saturday night is a “must go” I highly recommend it to all my partygoers, you will have a great time.

Peter:I took a trip to 809 Sangria Bar & Grill located at 112 Dyckman st. and I was very impressed with how nice the restaurant & club were. The Security was super tight at the door but the staff took good care of us directing us to our table upstairs. The club upstairs is rich and flavorful with a great sound and lighting system. Great place to have a night to remember. But don’t let it fool you just because is in Washington Heights doesn’t mean is a cheap spot, drinking at 809 can get a bit pricey when it comes to bottle service. Other than that I recommend anyone visiting Washington Heights to pay a visit try their Sangria specialties. And of course the cozy dining that transforms into a very seductive and chic lounge.

Leo - August, 15thBenAffleckHOROSCOPERITMO

M A G A I N E

Aries - March 21 → April 20Although you are able to charge forward into the unknown, it would be wise to consider your options before you find yourself in over your head. Your usual way of overcoming fear is to jump into a situation as you feel the adrenaline building. However, the Moon’s shift into your sign today allows you to be uncharacteristically sensitive, making you more aware of the potential problems ahead. You can quickly change your plans along the way, but a bit of forethought is still advised.

Taurus - April 21 → May 21You could be so energetic today that you think you must hide your enthusiasm or you might upset the delicate balance that’s holding everything together. However, denying your feelings will probably increase the intensity of what’s happening, rather than alleviating it. It’s true that a total lack of self-restraint may exacerbate a problem, but your response isn’t limited to all or nothing. Be smart; revealing your emotions gradually will prevent others from being overwhelmed.

Gemini - May 22 → June 21You Twins are quite capable of following two tracks at the same time. You want your friends to be open and honest as they tell you what they need from you today. But simultaneously, you are afraid that their words are hiding unexpressed feelings. You might even be tempted to act foolishly as you try to expose someone’s hidden agenda. However, there’s no reason to force anything now since the truth will become apparent without your panicky reaction.

Cancer - June 22 → July 22You want others to see your courage in action today, motivating you to bury your feelings and push beyond your usual limitations. Your satisfaction is dependent on your public appearance, leading you to hide your anxiety so effectively that others think that you are fearless. But there’s no need to trick anyone into believing that you’re a superhero. Just quietly do your very best, and the results will speak for themselves.

Leo - July 23 → August 22You are excited about all the possibilities for growth and adventure, yet you are also aware that you will have to make sacrifices to accomplish your goals. Thankfully, you’re not concerned now about anything that could get in the way of your success. In fact, you might be so sure of yourself that you assume you’ll be able to overcome obstacles as they appear. Be wise and improve your chances by planning carefully and following through methodically.

Virgo - August 23 → September 23You face an uphill battle today as you try to figure out why your recent plan went wrong. You may be struggling to unravel the complex factors playing out in the present moment, but it’s apparent that you must make a mid-course correction or you won’t reach your destination. Nevertheless, it’s not wise to make changes too quickly. Overreacting may be even less helpful than doing nothing.

Libra - September 24 → October 23A relationship creates stress today as someone rebels against your plan. A close friend or partner might surprise you by expressing a position that is very different from yours. Although you may choose not to argue, just letting others do what they want isn’t in your best interest. It’s much smarter to directly confront small problems now so they won’t grow into major ones later.

Scorpio - October 24 → November 22You aren’t satisfied by simply doing good work today; you want others to acknowledge your brilliance. Attacking an old project in a new and different way isn’t enough to hide your insecurity. But there’s no need to put so much effort into seeking recognition, especially if your desire for the spotlight allows you to forget that your initial purpose was to get the job done. Creating a detailed plan can be quite helpful, but too much analysis might get in the way of your productivity.

Sagittarius - November 23 → December 2You are overly self-expressive today with the enterprising Aries Moon now moving through your 5th House of Spontaneity. However, your exuberant feelings of creativity may be too much for those around you. Being less demonstrative is not a sensible solution, but it helps to allow time for others to show off their talents, too. Encouraging friends and co-workers to embark on an adventure with you may be much more rewarding than just doing it by yourself.

Capricorn - December 22 → January 21You may be stepping onto unfamiliar ground today as you struggle to balance your desire to engage someone you love and your need to withdraw into your own world. Fortunately, you can play both extremes now. Keep your heart open while also being mindful of setting your boundaries and respecting the needs of others. It doesn’t matter if you’re feeling a bit uncomfortable, because it’s at these awkward spots that the real magic happens.

Aquarius - January 22 → February 19You are an intense bundle of erratic thoughts today as familiar ideas combine to create ingenious plans. Luckily, you can showcase your talents without too much effort. However, there is a huge difference between an adequate job and an awesome one. Putting extra time into your preparation pays off now, so don’t take any unnecessary shortcuts.

Pisces - February 20 → March 20It’s scary to push forward so far that you must scramble your way back to safe ground. There’s no need to throw out your sensible plans just because you momentarily forgot about them and then moved too fast. Risk-taking isn’t necessary now; just slow down and stay on the current path. Don’t let the increasing pressure trick you into reacting impulsively.
