By Ejvind Boccolini

AKenvil man who has artistry in his blood is now try-

ing his hand at acting, and finding success with a

new horror movie that has gotten excellent reviews.

Thomas Brigman is an actor in MP2V, which contains

"footage" of two serial killers committing heinous acts of

violence as they travel the country and document it all.

Brigman was part of scenes that were filmed in Wantage,

NJ, and the movies has since gained critical acclaim during

its showing in select theatres. The movie was released last

summer, and is being shown at the Darress Theatre in

Booton on Sept. 27 with actors on hand to sign promotion-

al materials, before they hit the midwest and west coast for

more showings.

Brigman is from Roxbury township, and grew up in

Ogdensburg in Sussex County. He is pleased that the"reviews have been really good," and added that the scenes

are very realistic and freaky. He said the actors filmed

scenes that were "rough" and very physically demanding,

and noted that "it was a good time. I enjoyed it."

Though acting is relatively new to Brigman, he set the

stage for himself with his metal band called Red on Black,

which debuted in the 1980s, and has toured Europe, the east

coast and released three albums. Brigman is the guitarist

and occassional lead vocalist. They recorded three albums,

Kenvil Man An Actor In Award-Winning Underground Horror/Mystery

Melodic Hardcore, Homicidial Maniac, and Red on Black

3.

Red on Black performed in some of the great clubs in

New Jersey and played shows in Europe as well, and their

video for the song "God of the Underworld" is at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cEHZV5EfyE.

When he auditioned for MP2V, it seems he was in com-

fortable territory. He was chosen and had a great time film-

ing the scenes, and even began filming scenes a few weeks

ago for the sequel.The 82 minute film was released on July 31, 2012 and is

on Public Domain Films. The website for the film is

http://www.mp2v.com/, and it is considered a

Horror/Mystery/Thriller. Director Rob Medaska described

the film as a chance to "follow two deranged serial killers

as they travel conventional Americana and turn everyone

and everything they encounter into an absolute nightmare."

He said "watch them as they film their heinous acts and

create a psychotic road diary at each and every unnerving

turn."

Medaska and friends did promotion at the Chiller

Theatre last year, a legendary annual New Jersey festival

packed with memoribilia and actors from horror movies of

all eras. Videos are on YouTube of Medaska being inter-

viewed at the Chiller Theatre last year for MP2V.

Medaska said, "My aim was to create a disturbing and

compelling masterwork of American terror and it is my

hope that you are as disturbed and uncomfortable watchingit as we were making it!" The website is sure to create a cult

following in itself, as it gets the public involved in finding

clues and helping to make the sequel and prequel.

Brigman fit right into the mix when it came to MP2V. He

is an intelligent and versatile artist with a talent for creating

art perhaps of a darker sort - first with his music and now

with his acting.

Dr. Robert W. Butts, on the subject, History

of the Broadway Musical. Beginning Sept

Broadway stage In subsequent weeks, he

will look at the works of a wide variety of

composers: Rodgers, Gershwin, Porter,

Bernstein and Sondheim among them. A

few particular shows will be highlighted,

from Show Boat to Les Miserables. From

the early shows of the turn of the century

through the unforgettable shows that trans-formed Broadway at the end of the centu-

ry, Dr. Butts says, the Broadway Musical

has been a major part of American culture.

According to AutoGuide.com, theToyota Corolla is the number one

selling vehicle of all time. Since pro-

duction on the Corolla began in 1966, the

Japanese automaker's beloved sedan has sold

more than 37.5 million units. While its rela-

tively low price tag and reputation for fuel

efficiency likely played a role in propelling

the Corolla to its status as the most popular

automobile of all time, the vehicle that is sec-

ond fiddle to the Corolla might come as a sur-

prise. With roughly 35 million units sold

since its introduction in 1948, the Ford F-

Series truck line is the second best sellingvehicle of all time. The popularity of the F-

Series line of pickup trucks is perhaps a

byproduct of its various incarnations, such as

the smaller F-150 and the much larger and

more powerful F-450. Rounding out the top

five are the Volkswagon Golf, which has sold

27.5 million units since it was first introduced

as the Rabbit in 1974; its older sibling, the

Volkswagon Beetle, which has sold 23.5mil-

lion units since its introduction 80 years ago;

and the Ford Escort, which has sold 20 mil-

lion units despite being discontinued in 2000.

He knows how to keep himself grounded

though. As a musician, Brigman admits that

he did his share of partying in the old days,

but notes that he knew how to keep himself

under control.

Brigman said he portrayed Gunner Blade

(his stage persona) on stage, with jet black

long hair and black eye makeup, and off

stage he simply became "Tom" again, dress-

ing regular and keeping a low profile.

And despite how members of the gener-

al public may sometimes stereotype musi-

cians and say they are not smart, he said that

often, "we're intelligent people." Brigman,

in fact, has had several careers and none

were simple-minded.

Brigman has studied animal science and

nuclear medecine, and has enjoyed success

in both of those fields. He was a veterinari-

an technician, and later involved with

nuclear medecine, calibrating radioactive

isotopes that are used to diagnose certain

types of cancer/tumors. In addition to this,

he managed several record stores at the

beginning of his time in the workforce.

During these careers, he always made

room in his life for his love of music and

now, acting.

Over the summer, in addition to already

filming parts of Medask's sequel to MP2V,

Brigman is finishing up a solo cd, as

Gunner Blade, called "Trapped in Hell." It

will be released on his own record label

"Gunner Boy Records."

He said sometimes friends and col-leagues over the years would find out about

his music and acting life, and they would

say, 'Oh my god, we didn't know you did

things like that."

With acting, he notes that he is "taking

the small parts now," but added that he

never knows where it may go.

He has also written soundtrack music for

a movie called "The Ghosts of Angela

Webb."

On the MP2V website, they ask the pub-

lic to get involved, so fans make enjoy tak-ing a peek. For instance, a man is searching

for his daughter's killer, and website asks

fans to "Search for clues in the (video snip-

pet) flip footage. Send us your suggestions.

What should he do, and where he should go

next? Help create MP3V, the sequel. You

may just influence the upcoming events of

the terror trilogy."

Also, fans can help with the prequel, via

another link MPreV. It reads, "Who are the

girls (in the film)? Who are the killers?

Where did they meet?

continued from front page

Kenvil Man An Actor...How did they get there? Where did it all

begin? Join in, make suggestions, give us

clues. Maybe you will become a part of the

prequel better known as MPreV."

Other content on the website is equally

disturbing. It reads, "For those who are curi-ous, I am Samanthas father. She is a beau-

tiful blonde girl in the flip footage camera.

She was full of life, loved adventure, and

ever since she was a little girl, lived to make

a difference. Please make a difference to

herHelp me find her killers." On the web-

page, which contains video clips for mem-

bers of the 'public' to watch, it says also,

"Content under investigation."

On the facebook page (for which there is

a link on the webpage), it mentions the

showing at the Darress Theatre at 615 MainStreet in Boonton on Sept. 27 at 8 p.m.

General admission is $10, with limited seat-

ing, and actors and crew will be on hand to

meet those in attendance. A free copy of the

DVD goes to the first 100 people in atten-

dance.

nitely shows that.

evision, other examples of some of the

and girls bikes, small kitchen appliances, a

Welcome to Morris County! Thats how the staff at

the Morris County Tourism Bureau, located at 6

Court Street in Morristown, greet walk-in visi-

tors to our area from around the world. People visit the

office from every continent. In just one recent week people

on holiday from France, England and New Zealand came

into the office seeking maps, brochures and advice on

things to do locally. In fact, nearly 2,500 people visit the

Tourism Bureau each year and tourism to Morris County is

a $1.8 billion dollar industry benefitting local historical and

cultural attractions, restaurants and hotels.

The Tourism Bureau was begun in 1997 with a small

staff of one, Leslie Bensleythe current executive director.

Over the years the staff and its responsibilities have grown.

The office has biennially produced the official Morris

County Visitors Guide and the latest version is due out this

fall. It will be a Special Edition in honor of two events of

historic proportion: the 2014 Super Bowl set to be played

on February 2nd in MetLife Stadium and a celebration of

New Jerseys 350th anniversary (New Jersey was settled in

1664).

The NFL has estimated that the economic benefit to the

metropolitan area due to the Super Bowl will reach $500

million dollars and bring an estimated 400,000 visitors to

the area. The Tourism Bureaus role is two-fold: to provide

an overall positive experience for visitors to our area and to

ensure that Morris County residents feel a part of the Super

Bowl excitement.

In partnership with Tourism Bureau members, there will

be special events planned during football season and lead-

ing up to the big game. One activity that the Tourism

Bureau will sponsor is a sand sculptor creating a football-

themed creation at this years Morristown Festival on the

Green on Sunday, September 29th from noon to 5 p.m. at

the corner of Schuyler Place and Washington Street. There

will be a football themed basket raffle held for festival vis-

itors. Look for other events being held throughout the coun-

ty in the run-up to the Super Bowl by going to the Tourism

Bureaus web site: morristourism.org

The Tourism Bureau maintains an up-to-the-minute cal-

endar of events on its web site for use by anyone looking for

things to do. Additionally, they send an e-blast to sub-

scribers every two weeks with the top suggestions for activ-

ities in the area. The Tourism Bureau also offers original

historical walking tours in the summer and fall and partici-

pates in such events as Revolutionary Times, the Saint

Patricks Day parade and Holly Days. Couples planning to

answered over an 8 hour period. The exam-

ination process measured the in-depth

knowledge, proficient skills and abilities

required for practitioners to provide com-

prehensive, safe and effective oral implant

care for the public.This was by far the most difficult exam

Ive ever participated in, but I understand

why it is so extensive, says Dr. Goldberg.

Implant dentistry is not a recognized spe-

cialty, which means any dentist can place

and restore implants, regardless of their

training. ABOI wants to ensure candidates

that pass this comprehensive exam, are truly

experts in implant dentistry and can present

appropriate solutions based on a patients

needs and well-being. In addition, they

want to ensure we complete continued edu-

cation, are versed in the latest technologies

and can excel in implant complications and

maintenance.Dr. Goldberg routinely performs all three

disciplines of implant dentistry: bone regen-

eration (grafting), implant placement and

implant restoration, all in his office. Some

uses of implants include: single tooth

replacement, multiple teeth replacement,

denture stabilization, denture replacement,

and failing teeth solutions. This last cate-

gory has become an extremely viable option

for people who suffer from an endless cycle

of tooth pain, failing root canals, constant

tooth fracture, and cavities, explains Dr.Goldberg.

The ABOI/ID was founded in 1969 and

conducts examinations to determine the

qualifications and competence of dentists

who voluntarily apply to the Board for cer-

tification. The Board is sponsored by the

American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

Dr. Goldberg holds a private practice in

Succasunna in the Roxbury Mall and offers

free consultations to patients.

pples! They are a symbol of the fall.

And what better way to usher in the

season than with the Annual Apple

Festival at the United Presbyterian Churchin Flanders. Held on Saturday, September

28th from 10am 4pm, the festival

includes a live auction, bake sale, bounce

house, hayrides, and much more. The

church is located at 58 Drakesdale Road in

Flanders. Raindate for the festival is

Saturday, October 5th.

If you are looking for a great, totally

safe place to spend a day with your family

and have some fun, good food and great

company, the United Presbyterian Church

in Flanders is the place to be on September28th, said church member Tom Speer

Speer explained that the Apple festival

has been held annually for about the past 13

years. The idea for the festivals name came

about because of the apple-related baked

goods sold. However, the festival has a vari-

ety of other offerings as well.

A live auction will be held from 1pm to

4pm. The auctioneer is congregation mem-

ber, Lisa Fassett. Speer noted that they are

still collecting items, but to date, there are

free night stays and breakfast at a couplelocal hotels good for a year, multiple pizza

shop pizzas, tickets to sporting events,

signed sports autographs, and more. We

usually end up with nearly 75 items to auc-

tion off.

There will be a variety of goodies anditems to buy. We have a baked goods

table, hot dogs, hamburgers, popcorn, cold

drinks and more to keep you fed, said

Speer. He noted that there will be vendors

selling things including farm produce, jew-

elry, bird houses, and fishing equipment. At

the book sale table, people will be able to

find both hard and softcover books. Also,

there is a just two bucks table where

people will find many new and maybe

slightly used articles selling for just a cou-

ple of bucks.The fun includes demonstrations and

childrens games. We are planning on hav-

ing both a local martial arts studio and an

Irish step dance group perform a demonstra-

tion. Demonstrations will be from 10 am

until 1pm, said Speer. In addition, there

will be childrens toss games, hayrides, and

a bounce house.

In the spirit of giving, a bloodmobile will

be on site.

J

ust a wee bit before my time, Thomas Jefferson penned

these lead lines for our Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are

created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with

certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life,

Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Fast-forward to the present era, in which that ideal has

been suppressed by nepotism, chauvinism, cronyism,

and/or favoritism in most of the world - including, sadly, in

the USA.

One might say - anyway, this one might - that what

Jefferson had in mind was a meritocracy, since what we call

a democracy far too often suffers from some of the afore-

mentioned flaws.

Meritocracy is defined as a system within which

advancement is based on individual ability and/or achieve-

ment, as opposed to a Nanny State wherein a "fair share" of

just about everything achieves the status of a government

guarantee.

One example of meritocracy is the world of sports,

where superiority in achievement is rewarded - and no such

reward is enjoyed by those who fall short of comparative

excellence.

Just as this system is corrupted by such unfair factors as

performance-enhancing drugs, so is meritocracy subverted

when, metaphorically, there is no scoreboard on the playing

field.

Getting to the point of this opusette, there is no "right" to

a living wage, except for those who have had at least mini-

mal training, and who offer minimal skills that are of value

in the workplace and who contribute minimal efforts.

If those who fail to fit that profile are paid more than the

"going" wage, the surplus must be regarded as either public

welfare or private charity.

That is to say, higher-than-minimum wages can be

expected only if the worker offers superior benefits to

prospective employers.

A major problem arises if and when welfare pays more

than the minimum wage, as it does these days in several

States.

When this situation is prevalent, it is a major disincen-

tive for people to pursue employment.

In a sense, we shouldn't fault the recipients as much as

the enabling system.After the Second World War, returning veterans were

offered membership in the "52-20 Club," whose enrollees

were offered 20 bucks a week for 52 weeks (then enough to

keep body and soul together while we sought employment

for higher wages and, hopefully, enough income to finance

that Jeffersonian "pursuit of happiness.")

Although a tad better than chicken feed, it was not a sat-

isfactory destination for those of us whose postwar sights

were set on dreams of homes, families, luxuries, security

and, in many cases, the accumulation of wealth.

Thus, the handout was means to a higher end, rather than

the end itself.

Recently, a young college graduate was seen on televi-

sion in beach-bum attire, and festooned with tattoos which

would have made the Sistine Chapel ceiling resemble a

mere pencil sketch.

He unashamedly admitted that he had no job and no

desire to find one, given the fact that Uncle Sam provided

him with a free "electronic payment card, "renewable annu-

ally, which he could use in exactly the same manner as

working stiffs used their credit cards.

He, however, did not suffer the inconvenience of later

repaying what he received.

Why work, reasoned he, when "the government" enables

him to enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all in

abundance, with no obligation whatsoever to pony up for

these privileges?

Why pay, queries this humble scribe, on behalf of his fel-

low taxpayers, to subsidize the libertine lifestyle of this irre-sponsible moocher?

Mind you, we who have more than we need to get by

have a moral obligation to share with those who do not,

assuming that they are doing all that they can to provide for

themselves.

When charity falls short, government is equally obliged

to fill in the gap.

That's called welfare, which is not one of the inalienable

rights declared by Jefferson and his colleagues.

Mind you again: While poverty is not a personal dis-

grace, neither is it a badge of honor, especially if it is the

Let's Hear It For A Revival Of Meritocracy

By Lori Heberley

In an effort to rein in Medicare spending,

several Washington lawmakers are con-

sidering some harmful cost-cutting

plans. Of significant concern is the propos-al to trim Medicare Part B's spending by

slashing physician reimbursement rates for

Part B drugs. This could cause patients to

lose access to much-needed care.

Part B covers drug treatments for serious

illnesses that must be administered in doc-

tors offices. Under the Part B system,

physicians purchase the required medicines

and then are reimbursed by Medicare

according to a standard "average sales

price" (ASP), plus an additional fee to cover

the shipping, storage, and administrativeexpenses associated with the medicines.

That add-on is set at 6 percent.

But under the federal budget cuts known

as sequestration, which kicked in on April 1,

doctors saw ASP +6 percent payment effec-

tively reduced to ASP +4 percent due to an

across the board 2 percent payment cut. And

that may not be the end of the cuts.

Lawmakers previously have discussed cut-

ting the Part B drug add-on to a mere 3 per-

cent -- and amid continuing fiscal debates,

Congress may consider this additional

reduction again later this year.

The trouble is, lower reimbursement

rates will be simply unsustainable for doc-

tors, and patients will suffer the conse-

quences.The latest squeeze comes at a time when

community-based cancer centers are

already under strain. Eighty percent of can-

cer patients are treated in the community

setting, but during the past four and a half

years, nearly 250 oncology clinics have

closed nationwide and another 400 report

facing financial difficulties.

More cuts will inevitably lead to more

closures.

If doctors stop offering certain types of

drugs or close up shop altogether, patients

will be left in a bind. Some may have to

travel further to get treatment, racking up

transport and lodging charges. Others may

have to seek care in a hospital setting,

which may be a more costly alternative for

patients and taxpayers alike.

A 2011 study from the consulting group

Milliman found that Medicare cancer

patients who receive chemotherapy at hos-

pitals saw expenses 14 percent higher than

did those chemotherapy patients who got

treatment at doctors' offices.

The Most Painful Medicare CutOur leaders must resist lowering the Part

B drug reimbursement rate.

Fortunately, two New Jersey representa-

tives -- Republican Leonard Lance and

Democrat Bill Pascrell -- are already doingjust that. Their joint effort proves this is not

a partisan issue, but one that affects our

friends and neighbors.

Approximately 50,000 New Jersey resi-

dents receive a cancer diagnosis each year.

They need high-quality, accessible, afford-

able care. Others should join

Representatives Lance and Pascrell's stance

to protect the healthcare they deserve.

For the last decade, Part B has worked

well. Any more cuts to doctor reimburse-

ment rates will hurt patients in the name ofsavings that may never be realized. For the

safety of patients, our lawmakers and lead-

ers should fight to keep Medicare Part B off

the budget chopping block.

result of an irresponsible unwillingness to

pursue the aforementioned happiness.

America should reward meritocracy and

provide appropriate support to the truly

needy; but it should treat those who "game"

the welfare system with the contempt and

punishment they so richly deserve.

Words of warning: If and when welfare

becomes more attractive and remunerativethan workfare, hang a crepe on the doorpost

of the traditional American dream!

Aloha Mind Math

presents parents with

5 essential education

and life principles to help

children excel as they pre-pare to go back to school.

Teach Your Child to

Reach for the Stars

Have them write down

their hopes and visions each

year. Throughout life we

have the tendency to let go of

our lofty goals because of

fear. Lead them to talk open-

ly about their hopes and

dreams. Be supportive.

Encourage your child to notgive up, especially during

challenging times and, espe-

cially when obstacles get in

the way. Support your chil-

dren to dream big. Parents

can create a book of their

vision. Ask them to draw

what they want to be, write a

brief paragraph explaining

what they would do, and

what it would mean to them

to achieve their dream. By

them putting their ambitions

on paper helps the child visu-

alize their aspiration.

Allow and Teach Your

Child to be Inquisitive

Inventors like Ben

Franklin and Steve Jobs were

innately curious about why

and how things worked.Provide your kids opportuni-

ties to think outside the box.

Take them to a Science and

Industry Museum or a

Childrens Discovery

Museum. Provide options

where active learning can

take place up close in differ-

ent environments.

Teach Your Child the

Importance of Education

Obtaining a college edu-cation and buying a house

are some of the American

dreams. Attending college

may seem like a lifetime

away to children or an

unachievable dream, but

once achieved no one can

take away your diploma or

degree.

Children need to be self-

assured in who they are to

ask probing questions. In

order for a child to be inquis-

itive it is also important he or

she feels comfortable asking

and answering questions

either in class, after class,

after school, and at home.

Teach Your Child to

Accept Mistakes and Learn

from ThemThey are starting a new

school year which means

new teachers, friends, and

new concepts. They may

meet many challenges in the

school year. Teach your child

to allow themselves to

accept, but learn from their

mistakes. The next step is to

instruct them on how to solve

their own problems.

Teach Your Child toRealize They Can Do

Anything They Put Their

Mind to Do

The mind is miraculous.

Parents usually see the capa-

bilities and talents of their

children long before they do.

This is likely why some chil-

dren may by surprised of

their own successes when

others knew they had the

ability all along. Give them

nudges of encouragement.

Provide constructive feed-

back. Most of all consistently

tell your children they can be

whatever they want to be and

achieve whatever they want.

How did Howard Schultz,

founder of Starbucks, who

grew up in the projects in

Brooklyn achieve success

and build a household name?

In his own words, "I wasn't

afraid to create a company

that no one initially believed

in Dream more than others

think practical. Expect more

than others think possible.

Care more than others think

wise."

5 Essential Education and Life Principles to Help Your ChildrenExcel in School by Aloha Mind Math

Astrong cover letter may not guarantee you land a

good job, but a poor cover letter may guarantee you

won't. On its own, an effective cover letter can

catch the eye of hiring managers tasked with finding wor-

thy candidates among stacks of applications, while a poor

cover letter may ensure hiring managers never even glance

at an applicant's resume.

An effective cover letter should be concise, conveying

an applicant's work history and goals in a few paragraphs or

less. The following are some additional ways men and

women can craft effective cover letters.

* Address a specific person when possible. When

responding to a job posting that listed a specific contact,

address your cover letter to that person rather than begin-

ning the letter with, "Dear Sir or Madam" or "To Whom It

May Concern." Personalize each cover letter you write so

the hiring manager does not get the feeling that you are

sending out cover letters en masse. Make sure names arespelled correctly and job titles are accurate.

* State your purpose early on. The purpose of your let-

ter, which is to state the job you're seeking, should be made

clear early on. Hiring managers often handle the vetting

process for a host of positions at their companies, so the

earlier the hiring manager knows which position you're

applying for the better. Hiring managers may become frus-

trated when applicants don't make their intentions clear or

do so in the final paragraph instead of the first.

* Explain why you are a qualified candidate. While it's

good to note your work history, your resume will do the

bulk of that legwork. A cover letter is your opportunity to

show how your work history makes you a qualified candi-

date for a specific position. Remember to be concise but

relate a specific example that illustrates how your work his-

tory would help you thrive in the position for which you'reapplying.

* Exhibit some knowledge about the company to which

you're applying. An effective cover letter should help you

stand out among your fellow applicants, and expressing

some knowledge about the organization can do just that.

The goal here is to illustrate how you and the organization

are a good fit, so you don't need to go overboard or be too

specific. But hiring managers are likely to be more

impressed by applicants who do their homework and show

a knowledge of the company than applicants who submit a

form cover letter where the company is scarcely mentioned.

* Be cordial in your closing. A cover letter should closewith a cordial request for an interview or a friendly way of

indicating you look forward to a company's response to

your application. In addition, thank the reader for his or her

time and mention you would be delighted to answer any

questions he or she may have.

An effective cover letter can go a long way toward mak-

ing a strong first impression on a prospective employer.

Men and women should look at their cover letters as their

first opportunities to connect with a company and write

their letters accordingly.

When asked about his generous contributions, Mr. Forster

remarked, "I'm simply delighted to raise important funds for

Macculloch Hall. The Museum has a rich history, and contin-

ues to be a cornerstone of our community. This is an honor for

me.""Passion," "skill," "mastery" and even "genius" are terms

regularly used to describe Mr. Forster's talents. Mr. Forster

moved to the United States in 2005, embarking on a major

recording career which includes 17 albums, and a life-time

project: recording the 32 complete piano sonatas ofBeethoven, available as Beethoven: Magnificent Obsession.

"I breathe and experience Beethoven's every emotion, which

spans love, drama, passion, desperation, beauty, and dark-

ness," said Forster. His prolific career includes tours as a

soloist, performing with major symphony orchestras through-

out the world, recording, and teaching children at the Piano

School of New York City. Born in Buenos Aires in 1975, Mr.

Forster studied with Maestro Also Antognazzi, the principal

professor at the Conservatorio Nacional de Musica de Buenos

Aires. After winning first prize at the Mozart Piano

Competition in Argentina in 1995, Mr. Forster performed at

the most prestigious concert halls throughout Europe, SouthAmerica, and the United States. As he has remarked, "I've

been fortunate to work with the world's leading conductors,

performing works of master composers in front of culturally

diverse audiences."

Grooming Industry leader European Wax Center,

which provides luxury services at an affordable

price has opened its 30th location in the State of

New Jersey. The new wax center is located at 275 Rt 10E in

the Roxbury Mall, next to Panera Bread and will bring its

quality services to residents and local businesses in the

northwest New Jersey.

European Wax Center delivers the most effective and

painless wax experience possible. Their unique COM-

FORT WAX, a hard wax made from 100% natural

beeswax, was designed to optimize the guest's comfort and

has revolutionized the grooming experience. Additionally,

European Wax Centers wax specialists perform each wax

using their exclusive 4 Steps to Gorgeous skincare

process, which is packed with antioxidants and vitamins.

These specially designed products are not only great for

your skin, but they make waxing less painful and last

longer. European Wax Center prides itself on providing an

efficient, sanitary, luxurious waxing experience.

Jessica Coba, co-founder of European Wax Center,

explains, Modern waxing is about feeling confident, sexy,

and pampered. However, this practice is often believed to

be for the 'privileged' leaving consumers with two unap-

pealing options: the cheap, corner nail salon with question-

able sanitary practices or the elegant, but over priced spa.

We needed to rally women and men around a new option

thats for everyone: European Wax Center is that option.

We are thrilled to be expanding the European Wax

Center experience throughout New Jersey says Judy Cook,

Franchisee partner of European Wax Centers Roxbury

European Wax Center Opens New Succasunna Location

Mall location. We believe that high quality waxing should

be accessible to everyone and can be incorporated into

everyone's regular routine and skincare regime.

With the great success of Denville, European Wax

Center, Judy Cook of Mountain Lakes was offered this

dynamic location on Route 10 East to develop yet another

center. She partnered with her long time friends, Frank and

Diane Lupo of Randolph. It took two years to complete and

open. Upon opening in the end of July, they see this center

being another top center in the nation.

Today, European Wax Center is recognized as the leader

in comfortable and hygienic waxing. With the addition of

the Roxbury Mall location, luxurious waxing can be incor-

porated into the regular routine and skincare regime.

European Wax Center enables everyone to feel pampered,

beautiful and sexy.

By Kate Halse

Many pairs are fea-

tured on the

Amazing Race, a

reality TV show where two

people with a form of per-

sonal relationship take part

in a competition that travels

around the world. Typical

pairs include parent/child

teams, best friends, co-

workers, and family mem-

bers. This fall, a team of

exes from Morristown will

add a bit of drama and

uncertainty to the mix.

The team consists of 32-

year-old sports marketerTimothy Sweeny and 29-

year-old fitness trainer

Marie Mazzochi. Together,

the ex-couple will be one of

11 teams who are compet-

ing in an adventure around

the globe for $1 million dol-

lars. The newest seasons of

the Amazing Race will pre-

miere on Sunday,

September 29, at 8 pm on

CBS.

With an event that is

already full of stress and

tension, where competitors

are often pushed to their

limits and forced to face

less-than-ideal situations,

the pairing of Sweeny and

Mazzochi may seem odd to

the majority of viewers. The

team members agree that

their situation is not opti-

mal.

One issue that they must

face during their time on the

show is an apparent lack of

communication. Mazzochi

notes that neither she norSweeny listens to one

another, yet both insist that

they are right. She observes,

We both just yell at the

same time, and adds that

this behavior often leads to

unresolved issues.

Sweeny then offers his

opinion on his partner, stat-

ing that she frequently

loses perspective and

tends to forget the bigger

picture. Complicating the

matter, he continues, is the

fact that she becomes

obsessed with being right,

rather than solving the prob-

lem.

A pre-competition Q &

A session on the CBS web-

site provides more insight

into the teams character

and their differences. When

asked to name a famous per-

son who reminds him of his

teammate, Sweeny picks a

blend between Jillian

Michaels and Paris Hilton,

since she is aggressive, asocialite, likes Chihuahuas,

Starbucks, and is manipula-

tive. The same question

was asked of Mazzochi,

who notes that her team-

mate is similar to Ryan

Lochte because hes in

love with himself.

Both teammates agree

that their ultimate goal is to

win the competition, with

Exes Pair Up for This Fall's Amazing RaceSweeny stating that he

would like to learn how to

effectively work together

throughout the process. The

teammates have decided

that one of the biggest chal-

lenges for them during the

competition will be the

issue of listening to one

another.

Throughout the Q & A

session, Sweeny and

Mazzochi shared more

about their personal lives.

Sweeny is excited to travel

because it makes you

smarter, more cultured and

allows for an opportunity to

experience a different cul-

ture. Mazzochi responds to

the same question by saying

that she is excited to see dif-

ferent cultures and places,

and that she has never

before traveled outside of

the U.S.

Several other teams join

Mazzochi and Sweeny for

this season of the Amazing

Race. Some of the fellow

competitors include former

NFL teammates, a pair of

baseball wives, married ER

doctors, and best friends.

During this season, the

teams will travel throughout

four continents and nine

countries, covering more

than 35,000 miles of ground

in the process.

According to the most recent infor-

mation from forecaster

TrueCar.com, the average price for

a new car or light truck is $30,303. This fig-

ure represents a roughly $1,200 increase

from 2011. People looking to get a deal by

purchasing a used car won't find much

relief, as even used car prices have

increased. But people trading in a used car

for a new one may be able to get more

money on the trade-in or sale of a used car

than in the past, which should help to defray

some of the cost of the more pricey newer

model.
