Art Exhibition at Morris County Library

hroughout the month of July, Morris county artist Lorraine Robertson’s works in oil, pastel, acrylic and watercolor will be on display at the Morris County Library. Robertson, an award winner in a variety of state- and nation-wide juried exhibitions, has studied at the Woodstock School of Art, The Southern Atelier of Fine Art and privately with locally and nationally renowned artists. Pieces from her collection, which include figures, still lifes, seascapes, cityscapes and landscapes are displayed in offices and in private collections. “I see beauty everywhere and want to capture it on canvas,” Robertson says of her exhibition. “The best part is sharing my excitement and enthusiasm for that beauty with those who view my art.” Robertson’s collection can be viewed in the main downstairs gallery at the Morris County Library, located at 30 East Hanover Road in Whippany, during normal library hours, Monday-Friday 9am-9pm and Saturday 9am-5pm. For more information, feel free to visit www.mclib.info or call 973-285-6930.

Cocktails, Celebration and Inspiration

Maplewoodstock – 10 Groovy Years

F

ounded in 2004, Maplewoodstock, the event once described as a “lazy afternoon jam in the park,” has steadily grown into a bona fide musical event. Now in its tenth year, Maplewoodstock will take place on Saturday, July 14, 2013, and Sunday, July 15, 2013, in Maplewood’s Memorial Park. Twenty-two bands are scheduled to perform, and famed singer-songwriter Joan Osborne will close the festival with her unique mix of blues, R&B and soul. A far cry from the casual neighborhood afternoon it once was, Maplewoodstock has grown into a true music festival— boasting fifty-plus art vendors peddling their crafts, as well as food stands, an area for children, a beer garden and official merchandise. “Maplewoodstock has become a local summer tradition, as families, friends and neighbors bring out blankets, lawn chairs and picnic baskets for a wonderful weekend of music, art, food and the best of the Maplewood community,” event chairperson Gary Shippy says. What’s more, the concerts—including performances spanning rock, reggae, R&B and more, are entirely free. For more information on this blossoming summer event, or for a complete schedule and list of vendors, visit www.maplewoodstock.com.

O

n May 9, 2013, The American Yoga Academy hosted the Celebration of Life Cocktail Party. More than 250 people attended the event, held in The Loft at The Wilshire Grand Hotel. The evening included cocktails, celebration and inspiration. Prizes, including a certificate for Full Teacher Training Tuition at The American Yoga Academy and a certificate for Seduction of Spirit at The Chopra Center for Wellbeing in California, were awarded at the conclusion of the event. “When my sister, Madeleine Diab, a 25year cancer survivor, passed away in December, I was determined to organize an event in her honor that would benefit others with cancer,” Diab said. “100% of the proceeds went to Kula for Karma, an organization that certifies yoga teachers to cancer patients, wounded veterans, and victims of domestic violence.” Including a dollar-for-dollar match from Pfizer, the event raised a total of $6,478 for the charity. The American Yoga Academy is located within The Wilshire Grand Hotel at 350 Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange. For more information on The American Yoga Academy, visit www.americanyogaacademy.com or call 973-731-9960.


Historic Home Receives a Sustainable Renovation

S

ummit’s historic Twin Maples house received a major renovation, making the neo-classic renovation more ecologically sustainable— just in time for its 100th birthday. As part of the home’s $300,000 renovation—which included the replacement of doors, windows, façade and other repairs to the property—the decision was made to install an innovative geothermal system to heat and cool the house. In addition, the home, which is on both the National and New Jersey Registries of Historic Places, had environmentally friendly fabrics, wall coverings, flooring

options, furniture and accessories incorporated into the design, as well as the installation of energy-use-conscious appliances. Once a private residence, the 6,500-square-foot mansion is now home to The Fortnightly Club of Summit, as well as other area organizations, and often plays host to many private events throughout the year. The Twin Maples home is located at 214 Springfield Avenue in Summit. For more information on the home, or to inquire about private events on the property, please visit www.historictwinmaples.org or call 973-560-4540.

10 Years of Good, Old-Fashioned Fun

T

he Toy Professor is celebrating its 10th anniversary on July 23. Owner Geoff Stern, a Summit resident, states “I opened the store in 2003 with a vision of creating an old-fashioned neighborhood store that would become a part of the community. With fun and unique toys, exceptional customer service and community support through many donations every year, I think we have succeeded.” Stern believes in this day of impersonal stores and online shopping, it is more important than ever to support local stores to sustain our communities. “Over the last 10 years I have watched a generation of children grow up with us,” he says. “I want to thank my staff for their hard work and especially for fostering a personal connection with our customers. I can’t even begin to thank our loyal customers for their support, and now I can’t wait to watch the next generation of kids grow with us too.” The Toy Professor will be celebrating with a special anniversary sale starting Monday, July 22 at 430 Springfield Avenue in Summit and can be reached by calling 908-918-1888 or online at www.toyprofessor.com.

f you’ve ever redecorated, you know that more often than not, picking your color palette—including the selection of colors that are complementary—can be daunting. Instead of facing a color “emergency,” try the Color911 app. The app, designed by Color Consultant Amy Wax of Your Color Source Studios, gives users access to preloaded color palettes and allows them to create their ideal color schemes utilizing the app’s library of over 60 preloaded colors. Even better—have an item that inspires you, but can’t quite decide on the right colors? Take or upload a picture of the item and let the app retrieve and compile the colors that most complement or match the colors of the item. The Color911 app is available in the App store and puts Wax’s expert eye and opinion right at your fingertips to help you create the space of your dreams. For more information on Color911, visit www.color911.com.

European-style café opens at The Wine List of Summit

A Coffee Lover’s Dream S

ome folks go to great lengths to find the perfect cup of coffee. But at The Wine List of Summit, owner Ivan Ruiz has done all the work for you. After auditioning dozens of manufacturers, he’s proud to offer 28 different types of coffee beans, including artisanal selections from Lambertville’s own Rojo’s Roastery and from famed Iron Chef José Garces in the shop’s new European-style café area. While The Wine List still reigns as the top destination for wine aficionados from throughout the metropolitan area, Ruiz continues to expand its product lines and services. “We opened up a little area in the front of the store to cater to the weekday The Wine List's café lunchtime crowd, selling soups, salads and sandexplains Ruiz, who explains that adding proudly owns the wiches,” coffees to the mix has brought an influx of new commercial-grade customers. Now, customers can buy whole or coffee beans by the pound for their home Clover® machine, which ground coffee machines, or whip up the perfect cup of coffee, latte or cappuccino in-house. After being on a waiting list for two years, the Wine List’s café now proudly owns the commercialgrade Clover® machine, which “makes the perfect cup of coffee,” Ruiz claims, and allows customers to choose their own roast. Also available at The Wine List’s café are individual home coffee machines The next step? Adding a line of teas. “We’ve interviewed 20 companies so far— everyone says they’re the best, but we want to make sure!” says Ruiz. “When we’re satisfied, we plan to have about 20 to 30 different types of teas in the store.” But for now, the coffee business is booming. To complement the perfect cup of coffee, Ruiz offers sweets from Kiki’s Confections, such as French macarons and fruit tarts. Lunchtime specials (including soups, salads and sandwiches), gourmet products like Paolo’s Kitchen frozen meals, and specialty cheeses and meats draw customers in to the store, which Ruiz calls “one of the best-looking wine shops in the country.”

Summer 2013


In the fall, Ruiz is once again spearheading the annual Summit Wine & Food Festival, now in its fifth year. As in years past, Ruiz plans to have a number of tasting events and competitions the weekend of Sept. 20-22, including the return of the sommelier tasting and a five-course dinner program, with a barista competition on tap as a new event. He expects nearly 35 renowned chefs to participate in the festival, which takes place at the Grand Summit Hotel, The Wine List and the Twin Maples house. All net proceeds after festival expenses will benefit the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, a nonprofit organization that is seeking monetary and food donations. “Due to Superstorm Sandy, they are in a lot more need than before, explains Ruiz.”  The Wine List 417 Springfield Ave., Summit 908-277-6565 www.winelistsummit.com

HEALTH & BEAUTY By Julie Jacobs

SUMMER SAFETY How to Be Wise While Outside Prepping and Participating • Stretch before engaging in physical activity, to both warm up your muscles and increase your flexibility. Find a flat, clutterfree surface, then breathe normally and keep steady. Hold each stretch for 30 seconds without bouncing and overextending your range of motion, and then repeat the series. • Wear the right clothing and gear. Choose comfortable garments and don helmets, goggles, padding, gloves and wrist guards as appropriate. And protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun with a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. • Check your equipment to ensure it’s in good working order before using. Also, know how to repair your equipment, whether it’s a bike tire or floatation device, and bring a repair kit along with you. • Educate yourself by taking a professional lesson, particularly if you’re new to the pursuit. If you’re hiking to high-altitude areas, make sure to learn how to acclimate. • Pay attention to the weather before, as well as during, your activity. Heed reports about such adverse conditions as temperature changes and stay aware of any changes in temperature and the like while you’re out and about. • Keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Just pace yourself so that you don’t exhaust your supply at the outset. You might want to pack such healthy snacks as, such as fruit and granola bars, too. • Know basic first aid, especially for heat-related illnesses. Carry a well-stocked first-aid kit (see sidebar), and an emergency signaling device and whistle if you’ll be in isolated spots. Also, locate the nearest ranger station before you head out.

The old joke goes says that to get to Carnegie Hall, you need to practice, practice, practice. To stay safe outdoors during the summer months, you need to prepare, prepare, prepare! By planning prudently and taking the necessary precautions once you’re out, you can help prevent injuries from occurring while you’re playing, hiking, biking and more. 40

VICINITY MAGAZINE

Summer 2013

• Go with at least one buddy and chart a plan for possible emergencies. And inform someone back home of your itinerary, apprising them of when you’ll return. • Stick to marked areas, avoiding those that are closed to the public, whether in water or on land. When hiking or biking, be careful on rocky, uneven terrain and near trees and bushes that may block your view. • Build in frequent rest stops to recover and rejuvenate. Reconsider going at all or turning back if you’re feeling achy or drowsy.

Bugged by Bugs There’s no getting around it: Summertime means more bugs, and many of them, including mosquitoes and ticks, can transmit disease and infection. To help keep insects at bay, steer clear of infested areas like high grass, stay inside from dusk to dawn if possible, and apply repellant as directed. Look for products with 20% DEET, the primary ingredient in most repellants. You also can treat your clothes with permethrin, a common synthetic insecticide. When it comes to ticks, check yourself over yourself as soon as you’ve finished your activity. If you find a tick, grab a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to carefully remove it. Should you subsequently experience body ache, rash, fever and/or other symptoms, consult with your physician. Once home, shower and wash and dry your clothes promptly.

Should Injury Happen While there’s a correct way to fall to reduce injury—keeping your hands in a fist, falling forward on your forearms or knees, or falling backward onto your backside—sometimes harm still occurs. In such cases, think RICE: rest, ice, compression (and immobilization), and elevation. Repeat until your condition has improved and you’re able to seek medical attention. And if you find a tick, grab a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to carefully remove it. Should you subsequently experience body ache, rash, fever and/or other symptoms, consult with your physician.  FOR MORE INFORMATION: www.CDC.gov; www.ezineartiles.com; www.fs.fed.us/recreation/safety.

Summer Beauty Saviors

r

ising temperatures call for waterproof makeup, frizzfighting hairsprays and other summer saviors. These products can withstand the heat: Skin: BB creams and CC creams are the b-b-best for summer because they are lightweight, but provide long-lasting coverage and contain sun block and other skin-enhancing ingredients. Try dior Hydralife BB Crème, Pürminerals 4-in-1 mineral tinted moisturizer or Hard Candy CC Cream. Face: Pürminerals “Glow all Year” kit includes a universally flattering bronzer, plus a gold-flecked lip-gloss and a perfectly shimmery highlighter stick. Eyes: For eyes that withstand the effects of water, try Hard Candy Shadowholic 12-hour waterproof eye crayon and Lash Ink four-day lash stain mascara, which tints lashes without getting clumpy. Hair: Spray Lush’s Sea Salt Spray on damp hair, twist into a loose bun and let dry for tousled, beachy waves. Finish your look with a few dabs of Lush’s new Gorilla perfume, SuN; it just screams summer. (Hardcandy.com, purminerals.com, sephora.com, lushusa.com)

Money for Muscles

P

eople are often reluctant to sign up for a gym membership because they don’t want to commit to the monthly fee. However, most gym memberships range from $20 to $60 a month—and although many have sign-up fees, they are also known to drop them for a special sale or a great negotiator. Still need to fork up that extra cash? Make coffee at home—saving just $1.50 every week day adds up to an extra $30 in your wallet every month. Bring your lunch to work, instead of spending $5 to $7 twice a week buying lunch, and save up to $56. or, go out to dinner a little less frequently—those $20+ perperson checks add up.

study published in The Journal of Obesity observed the effects that moderate-intensity exercise had on participants’ appetites. on the first day of the study, participants were broken up into two groups. one group ran for 60 minutes and the other group walked for 60 minutes, while researchers monitored how much energy each participant was expending, and drew blood to check for changes in appetite-affecting hormones. on the second day of the study, all participants rested for 60 minutes. on both days—after the hour of exercise or rest—researchers monitored how many calories the participants consumed after they were given permission to eat whatever they wanted from a variety of food. The result? Participants were the hungriest after the hour of rest, consuming nearly 300 more calories than they had burned; walkers were hungry, but consumed around 50 calories more than they burned; and runners weren’t very hungry, and on average consumed 200 calories less than they had burned.

DIAMOND MINDS By Barry Farber

F

THE RICHNESS OF RESEARCH Surround yourself with people and information that is useful. Have you ever read a book that has inspired you and made a difference in your life? Read it again. Read it every year. You will be amazed at how the message can change every time you go back to it. It gets richer because your experiences have changed the way you look at the information in the book. All quality research creates a better position to move forward with more intelligence. And that’s the point—to move forward and take action with the information. Research and learning without action suffers; both working together provide clarity and truth. In our latest book, “Success Secrets of Sales Superstars” (Entrepreneur Press 2013) my coauthor, Robert L. Shook and I featured a variety of individuals ranging from sports agents to CEOs and even a top yacht salesperson who is legally blind. People ask how he sells well when he can’t see. The answer is that he listens. That’s how he does his quality research to act upon with his customers.

or over ten years I’ve been writing Diamond Minds and I must have mentioned this adage in more ways than one: “You become what you think about.” I first heard this on an audio program called the “Strangest Secret” by Earl Nightingale. It has always reminded me to ask myself, “What are you reading?” “Who are you surrounding yourself with?” “How does your environment impact your actions?” This focus has served me well over the years in many different ways. For one, whenever I work with a sales organization I ask to interview not only their top performers, but the customers they sell to. I learn unique insights into an industry and it changes the way I think about the client’s business as well as how I present to and work with my customers. That additional research not only builds confidence in how to customize a solution but constantly reminds us of the fundamentals that can be applied to many situations.

The work on this Barry Farber book project allowed the information to sink in at a deeper level because the richness of the subjects’ unique stories about building relationships multiplied—first when we did the pre-interview research on them, second when we conducted the interview, third when we transcribed the interview, and the fourth time when we read the interview… and maybe a fifth time when we listened to these top producers’ interviews live. You can listen to them at www.blogtalkradio.com/barryfarber. Ask yourself what type of research you’re doing in your area of expertise that will enhance the value of what you’re worth. What are you reading, who are your mentors, what and who are you surrounding yourself with that will help you become the person that can achieve the goals you’re shooting for? You do become what you think about all day long. The repetition of learning valuable ideas through different sources helps build knowledge that lasts, that you can act on, and that can help you succeed. 

Barry Farber consults with corporations, professional athletes and entertainers helping them market their products and land more deals. He’s the best-selling author of 12 books translated into 25 foreign languages with over one million copies sold. His next book, Success Secrets of Sales Superstars will be released April 2013 by Entrepreneur Press. You can see him on QVC selling out unique and innovative inventions.

Elegant Entertaining WITH BOLD FLAVORS (Family Features)

S

ummer entertaining is easy with simple, crowdpleasing recipes from light bites to sweet delights that require almost no time in the kitchen. Invite over a few of your closest friends, heat up the grill and set out your favorite wines for a truly memorable outdoor dinner party. Select simple recipes that can be prepared ahead of time and quickly seared on the grill once your guests have arrived. Everyone will enjoy the food and you’ll love that you’re not trapped in the kitchen. Prep, chop and marinate everything then store it all in containers. Continue the trend of simplicity by serving food-friendly wines, such as those from Las Rocas. Las Rocas, which literally means “the rocks” because of the rocky soil where the grapes are grown, produces an incredibly vibrant Garnacha and refreshing Rosé that pair wonderfully with these dishes. Make the occasion truly special by beginning the festivities at sundown to take advantage of the cool breezes and beautiful sunset. Line the tables with a row of small candles, hang sparkling white lights from the trees and put on your favorite music. Your guests may never want to leave.
