Legoland is great, but only if you're of a certain age.
It is great too see some of the world's attractions as lego creations but this particular attraction is not suitable to anyone 13-17. A mistake I made and spent the day with a moody teenager.
Easy to get to, loads of parking but entry is expensive.

Problem is, the Bruins know how to build a tough team and we haven't been able to do that.
They always get the best player-fighters. Thornton is the best 4th line fighter-player in the league (we could have had him). Lucic is the best first line fighter in the league (we could have drafted him - he was MVP of the playoffs in junior, hardly a secret). Chara is the best fighter the league has ever had probably (we could have signed him). And their other fighters are all tougher than our guys except maybe Moen, and now we have Prust who can hold his own on occasion with heavyweights as a middleweight (we could have had any of them).
Not the era for us to be fighting with them. We have to play two way hockey and have more grit while upgrading the size/skill where we can (grit/toughness). Tall order.
If our priority was puck possession, then skating should not have been an absolute criteria. We could have fit Chara and Lucic into a framework, like the Bruins did. You can't play puck possession with a bunch of second tier midgets. If you don't have size, you need superstars and depth, at least.

Once mired in a sales battle with a competitive format, the Blu-ray player has grown in popularity with consumers and is enjoying substantial sales growth.
According to a new forecast from ABI Research, shipments of Blu-ray players are expected to more than double worldwide by the end of the year when compared to the tally for 2009. The research organization also sees continued growth next year with the total unit shipments exceeding 62.5 million around the globe.
In North America, standalone Blu-ray players are expected to reach almost 18 percent penetration of TV households, up from just more than 7 percent in 2009.
The growth in Blu-ray players echoes a trend in the broader consumer market where larger, fixed-location devices like flat panel TVs are seeing fast adoption compared to various categories of smaller, portable devices, said ABI Research analyst Mike Inouye.
"In addition to price declines, the greater growth potential of TV-centric devices may be due to some of the recent exciting innovations in TV technologies: larger, flatter panels, Internet connectivity and 3D," Inouye said.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
10 Jun 2013 10:56 GMT | Politics, Asia, India
A senior leader of India's main opposition party the BJP has resigned, exposing rifts over its choice of a controversial politician to head a campaign in the run up to next year's national elections.
L K Advani, a former deputy prime minister, sent a letter of resignation to the BJP president on Monday, saying he was "finding it difficult to reconcile either with the current functioning of the party, or the direction in which it is going". He said he was stepping down from the party's national executive, parliamentary board and the election committee.
Private television NDTV reported that Rajnath Singh has refused to accept the resignation and several senior leaders are now trying to dissuade Advani from stepping down.
Advani resigned a day after Narendra Modi, the chief minister of Gujarat, was chosen to head the BJP's electioneering. The choice made him its presumptive prime ministerial candidate in the event of the party winning next year's election.
Advani was opposed to the selection of Modi, tainted by accusations of doing little to stop anti-Muslim riots that swept Gujarat in 2002.
Sources say that despite his advanced years, Advani wanted to lead the party's campaign and had ambitions to be the next prime minister.
Though once his protégé, Modi has outgrown his mentor. Despite being a polarising figure in Indian politics, many view him as a charismatic leader. He has been re-elected three times as Gujarat's chief minister, adding to his image as a leader who delivers.

How to turn milk into a hard plastic nearly as strong as stone! All we need for this simple kitchen science experiment is milk, vinegar and a strainer. You can make all kinds of shapes and designs using this "plastic-like" material. In fact, this is the stuff they used before plastic was around! Instructions: Take 1 warm cup of milk and mix with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Basically, for every cup of milk you use, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and you can make a much larger batch. Mix it together and strain out the curds that form. Once you dry it you can mold it into any shape you desire, but let it dry for a couple days first! Be sure to check out out links and fanpages. Follow us on twitter. Remember it is kitchen science week so tune in to our next 2 videos coming out shortly! Facebook: http://facebook.com/dylanhacker Twitter: http://twitter.com/householdhacker

Faulty device
This product was, not only delivered damaged, but it was constructed incorrectly. While the upper water wells are supposed to fall inward and the lower water wells are to flow outward, one of the upper water wells on mine faced outward and splashed water outside of the unit. I don't know how this wasn't caught before coming to my front door. Also, one of the upper water wells was broken. I returned it. Didn't bother for a replacement.Read More

Hello, justcurious0101. Hope your day is going well. Yes, and once it is plugged in, it runs continuously. To turn it off you must unplug it from the wall. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Does this fountain have a light? It looks like it in the picture, but nothing in the description.
Yes, this item is lighted.
I am confused by the dimensions given. What is "high" measuring? I assume length is top to bottom, width is depth (front to back)? Help?
I apologize for any confusion. It is 33 inches tall x 6 inches from front to back x 19 inches from side to side. I hope this helps!
Hi, does thr water make a nice trickling sound? does the slate need to be maintained in any way? it will be kept in a screened porch in north carolina where our winters are fairly mild. thank you
Yes, this fountain does have a constant audible water noise. Slate material is natural and does not require any maintenance. However, it is not uncommon for gradual mineral deposits to build up over time (varies by local water conditions). If this should occur, it easily removed by agitation from a light plastic brush or toothbrush. It is recommended to use a filtered water source to replenish water in the fountain to minimize this.
Is this suitable as an outside fountain?
It can go outside, but we would suggest it being under a covered area to prevent overflow and should be disconnected and drained during the winter or cold weather.
how much does this fountain weigh?
This item weighs 74 pounds

Quote Floyd gave to David Mayo of MLive in March.
Pay-per-view sales for Floyd Mayweather's May fight against Miguel Cotto topped $94 million dollars, and Mayweather personally raked in well north of $40 million. What does Money Mayweather do with all that money? He bets on sports, a lot (possibly too much) and posts pictures of his betting slips on Twitter.
Mayweather bets on the NFL. He bets on Gonzaga men's basketball. He once bet on the Utah State football team. Most of his bets are relatively sure things, like a $33,000 bet that the then-No. 3 Duke Blue Devils basketball team would outscore 13-15 Wake Forest by seven in the first half. He cashes in on scores of low-risk bets by fronting an absurd amount of money, though he rarely tweets photos of his losing betting slips like he does with the winners. Here's a month-by-month breakdown of Mayweather's bets — a lot of profit here, but keep in mind, these are just the ones he publicly announced.
3. January
Put $400,000 on Alabama at halftime of the BCS National Championship game. Won $333,333.
5. February
Put $100,000 on Ohio State over Northwestern in basketball in the first half. Won $83,333.
Put $33,000 on UNLV over Colorado State in the first half. Won $28,695.
Put $33,000 on Duke over Wake Forest in the first half. Won $28,695.
Put $25,000 on the Wizards over the Trail Blazers in the first half. Won $20,833.

Put $135,000 on Ohio State over Minnesota in the first half. Won $122,727.
Put $250,000 on the Thunder over the Jazz in the first half. Won $217,391.
Put $250,000 on the Thunder over the Jazz outright. Won $227,272.
Put $100,000 on the Warriors over the Rockets in the second half. Won $90,909.
6. March
Put $100,000 on Kentucky over Florida in the first half. Won $86,956.
Put $30,000 on Michigan over Penn State in the first half. Won $27,272.
Put $40,000 on Indiana over Purdue in the first half. Won $38,095.
7. HALFTIME: Jail.
Mayweather served two months in a Las Vegas jail after being sentenced to three months in a disturbing domestic battery case. He was incarcerated during June and July, and didn't he seem to do much betting in the months on either side of the jail term.
9. September
Put $200,000 on the Cowboys over the Giants in the second half. Won $181,818.
Put $100,000 on the Patriots over the Titans in the first half. Won $90,909.
Put $250,000 on the Falcons over the Chiefs in the second half. Won $228,099.

Put $100,000 on Utah State over Utah. Won $86,956.

Put $100,000 on the Chargers over the Raiders at halftime. Won $83,333.

In December, Mayweather allegedly told Jarrett Jack before a Warriors-Heat game that he bet $100,000 on Golden State. The Warriors won the game in a late upset, 97-95.

I have started two new games (team match), but these games don't appear to my homepage here. I can see them only when I use mobile version. Is it normal? My opponent is on vacation. Is it so because of this vacation?
Try clicking the link at the bottom of your games, Show All. Only a certain number of games show on you home screen. Since your opponent is on vaction it automatically places those game at the end of the list and you may have more games than can be listed.I'm not 100% sure on that but the games should show if you click that link.

We had a leisurely 15 km walk today. Conditions were cloudy to begin with but brightened over the morning as the cloud broke up into beautiful balls of cotton. We started with a climb up Round Hill, the penultimate C2C climb. Once we reached the summit we again had beautiful views across to the east and back at yesterday's path over the 3 hills. The rest of the walk was along an easy plateau. Since entering the North Yorkshire Moors the the quality of the paths ...

Dwight Howard says it will be "weird" to face Magic Sunday
Dec 2, 2012, 8:01 AM EDT
Dwight Howard looked like a guy getting healthy Friday night, like a guy finding his footing with a new team in a brand new offense — 28 points and 20 rebounds. He started to look like the best center in the game.
And now on Sunday night he gets to take another step against a team really struggling at the center spot — because he left them.
Sunday night Howard faces the Magic for the first time since he left them. He's doing it in Los Angeles, but he still said it would be a little weird. From the Orlando Sentinel:
"Well, you know, it's going to be a little weird playing against my former team," Howard answered. "But we need a good win and [to] come out with a lot of energy. So I'm going to put all my effort into getting ready for the next game and playing with a lot of intensity and just having fun."
Weird is not the word Magic fans would use. We can't use the word Magic fans would use.
And it's weird but of his own making — he pushed his way out in the most awkward way possible.
Orlando has struggled at the five, allowing opposing fives to shoot 55 percent according to 82games.com. They also put it this way — Orlando has gotten a PER of 11.5 on the season (that's Meyers Leonard, Brendan Haywood kind of play) while giving up a PER of 18.6 (that's Al Horford, DeMarcus Cousins kind of production).
But if Howard thinks Sunday is weird, wait for March 12 when the Lakers travel to Orlando.

Keep having fun Dwight (and coming out with a lot of "energy"). I'll warn you though, Kobe doesn't care about having fun, he is trying to win at any cost. And that is how you lead in the NBA.

Hope they hack u all night.

4 Dwight Howard stories on the first page? Obsessed much?
- omniusprime - Dec 3, 2012 at 9:16 AM
Yeah I'm sure Howard now thinks facing the Tragic was far worse than weird, it was downright terrifying. I'm sure that Howard didn't think his former team would play the Hack-a-Howard defense in the 4th quarter. Unfortunately the new incompetent coach Dumbtoni didn't think it out ahead of time then froze like a deer caught in the headlights as he stupidly left Howard in while forcing Pau to ride the pine.
This loss was all Dumbtoni's fault for a monumental collapse of the coaching position. When will the dimwitted pundits who like the Lakers, yeah I'm talking to you Kurt, start calling for Dumbtoni's demise? It's about time the dimbulb press shine the light on the true source of Laker incompetence, the dumbest coach in the NBA.
I hope Laker fans at the games start a game long chant of we want Phil.
Fire Dumbtoni Now!!! We Want Phil!!!

Last Word with Dianne Chips BaileyWritten by Dianne Chips Bailey
Local community issue most on your radar…. Homelessness. Over the years, I have glimpsed at the strength and struggles of our homeless neighbors during lunchtime Bible studies at the Urban Ministry Center. I applaud UMC's commitment to end chronic homelessness by 2016, but worry about individuals and families who continue to live on the margins of our city. Situational/episodic homelessness is our community's next challenge. To address this persisting issue, we should take a close look at transportation infrastructure, affordable housing and the minimum wage.
Broader national/international issue most on your radar…. The increasing political and religious extremism here and abroad – reinforced by how we receive news and other information that amplifies our own biases. We suffer for a lack of honest dialogue supported by a culture of compassion.
Local non-profit you would drop everything to help… Any of our nonprofit clients at Robinson Bradshaw! What a privilege to advise universities, museums, sports philanthropies, human service agencies, churches, foundations, arts organizations and other charities – together they make our city healthy, informed, creative and humane! But, if I have to pick just one it is the Women's Impact Fund - don't miss our national celebration of women's philanthropy this October!
Best party/event you've been to in the last year…. Charlotte Ballet's "Dancing with the Stars" Gala.
Recent splurge purchase you treated yourself to…. Kate Spade handbag, hot pink, from my favorite consignment shop, JT Posh – love Jen and Tracy who are sisters, proprietors and best friends.
Charlottean who should be given a reality show… The always effervescent Sonja Nichols. Who wouldn't want to be a fly on Sonja's wall? Richard, Richard III, James and Kayla might protest, but Sonja would rally them like she does us all. Her famous email emoticons would add visual interest. Sonja's show would challenge us to live authentically, passionately and with an abiding faith.
Best meal you've had in a while…. Date night most Fridays with my husband Brian at Paco's Tacos & Tequila. You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the girl. Chips, salsa and chopped salad. Yum.
Advice you'd give your younger self… Live with a grateful heart and a generous spirit.

Biggest beauty splurge that's totally worth it?
C: Artistic injection of dermal fillers into the cheekbones. It's my favorite procedure to perform.
J: We have a product called Bio Serum, it's expensive but if I could drink it-I would.
How does nutrition play a role in your beauty routine?

J: When my skin needs a boost from the inside out, I usually grab a ripened avocado or wild caught salmon. Delicious and great for the skin!
What is your personal fitness philosophy?

Liz Hilliard, Mother
Clary Hilliard Gray, Daughter
Sidebar: This gorgeous mother daughter duo is the force behind the mega popular Pilates based workout, Hilliard Studio Method. Check out their newest venture, HSM | CORE, which just opened on Kings Drive.
The best beauty advice your mother ever gave you?
L: To never frown because my face would get stuck that way!
C: Beauty comes from the inside.
One beauty product you cannot live without?
L: Tazorac gel (Retin A) at night. That with a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day is all I need!
C: Mineral sunscreen
Beauty trend you refuse to try?
L: I really don't do trends.
C: Trends change quickly but I like to keep an open mind.
Biggest beauty splurge that's totally worth it?
L: My monthly derma-planing facial. It turns over the dead skin cells, energizes and hydrates my skin. And under the heading "the older you get the more money you need to throw at your skin" - I love my LaMer Concentrate! It's pure gold!
C: A good skincare regimen: Retin-A, moisturizer, facials, a sun hat!
How does nutrition play a role in your beauty routine?
L: Nutrition is 100% of my beauty routine. Beauty truly starts from the inside out. At Hilliard Studio Method we have a signature smoothie with all the protein, greens, fiber and omega 3 fatty acids you need in your diet for the entire day. I swear by it. It not only makes my skin glow but gives me all the energy, strength and stamina to teach and workout on a daily basis. I fill my diet with healthy fats like avocados and lean protein like salmon (also high in good fatty acids) and eat nuts on a daily basis. Vegetables and fruits are my staples.
C: It's a game changer. The HSM Smoothie every morning not only made me drop 10 lbs quickly, but it makes my skin glow!
What is your personal fitness philosophy?
L: I work out every day in the most efficient way possible by mixing up my workouts at Hilliard Studio Method and HSM | Core.
My philosophy is that if you can't get your full body workout (which includes cardio and resistance training) done in an hour you're wasting your time doing the wrong workout.
My workout at Hilliard Studio Method strengthens and sculpts my body through resistance training while giving me the cardio I need for the day. At our newest studio HSM | Core we utilize a megaformer to do a full body sweat dripping cardio workout in 40 mintutes.
Resistance training burns fat and calories at the highest rate possible while you work out, but even more importantly, while you're at rest. I combine muscle-building resistance exercises at a pace that lifts my heart rate and produces the benefits of cardio and gives my body a lean, strong, sculpted look.
C: Haven't you heard? It's called Hilliard Studio Method!
What is your beauty regimen when you have a big event?
L: It's pretty much the same as every day. I workout and make sure I get plenty of rest the night before. However I do have one trick I rely on that insures that I look my best in those skin revealing dresses. I knock out 10 – 20 pushups right before I walk out the door , (yes in full dress and makeup) I just stop before I start to sweat! It gives my arms that extra little cut that looks nice. I've shared this advice with our brides-to-be at HSM. Several have sent us pictures of themselves in full gown and veil doing push ups before walking down the isle!! Seriously! And you should see their wedding pictures!
C: St.Tropez bronzer the day before, a killer HSM workout in the morning and then it's glam time!
Best advice for staying young?
L: Live passionately and love your work/life (which is all the same to me)! I would, and literally have worked for free while developing Hilliard Studio Method because it's my passion and my joy. I surround myself with strong, caring, positive people and have found amazing joy in working with my daughter Clary everyday who happens to also be my best friend.
C: Have fun and love the ones you're with!
Favorite local beauty expert(s)?
L: My favorite beauty expert is Jami Svay and of course Dimitri at the LaMer counter at Neiman Marcus.!
C: My mom, obviously.

"Fitness Sisters"
Sidebar: Fellow gym goers regularly mistake these two ladies for sisters. It's just hard to believe there are two separate sets of genes this stunning.
The best beauty advice your mother ever gave you?
A: Always wash off your makeup before bed, so you don't clog your pores.
C: Drink plenty of water on a daily basis to maintain healthy, youthful skin! She was absolutely right about that and I enjoy drinking a gallon or more daily!
One beauty product you cannot live without?
A: Clinique facial soap and lip gloss.
C: Lip gloss! My favorite is called Haut Cocoa by Victoria Secret.
Beauty trend you refuse to try?
A: This would probably have to be the Snail Facial. No thanks!
C: That silly "wrap" trend. I much rather prefer to put in the hard work in the gym for long term results as opposed to losing a little bit of temporary water weight. My motto is if it is easy to obtain, it is not worth having. Put in the hard work and enjoy long term results!
Biggest beauty splurge that's totally worth it?
A: Facials and MAC Makeup
C: The blue peel facial! There is nothing like having a baby soft and smooth face!
How does nutrition play a role in your beauty routine?
A: Being a NPC and Nutrishop Sponsored Bikini Athlete I know first hand that you really are what you eat. When I eat clean it shows. My clothes fit better, my skin glows, and I feel beautiful.
C: Nutrition plays a major role in my beauty routine. As an NPC Team Bombshell Bikini Athlete and Nutrishop Ballantyne Sponsored Athlete, I enjoy eating six small, balanced meals daily that consist of fresh greens, protein, and a clean carb along with proper supplemental support. Eating the right amount of each allows me to maintain healthy skin, my ideal weight, and more importantly I am able to maintain the lean and tight feminine yet muscular look that fitness models strive for.
What is your personal fitness philosophy?
A: Train hard, set goals and work hard to reach them. Then set more goals. You really can do anything you put your mind too.
C: My personal fitness philosophy is no pain no gain. You have to make sacrifices if you want to reach your fitness goals. Temporarily resisting your favorite treats will be worth it in the end when you are rocking your dream body! No one can take that hard work away from you.
What is your beauty regimen when you have a big event?
A: Cleanse and exfoliate. Makeup by Tamara Mcgill McFarland. Hair by Carol Alexander- Zander's salon. And when I stay in shape finding and outfit is never a problem.
C: My beauty regimen is simple when it comes to preparing for a big event. I always have my makeup artist on speed dial and I make sure to arrive with exfoliated skin!
Best advice for staying young?
A: Workout, eat clean, live life to the fullest, do the things in life that make you happy, and have fun, lots of fun.
C: Live life to its fullest, never take a minute of the day for granted, laugh, tell your loved ones you love them regularly, and participate in some type of physical fitness on a regular basis.
Favorite local beauty expert(s)?
A: Zander's Salon - Carol Alexander
Charlotte Plastic Surgery - Facials
Ballantyne Resort - Massage, Facials, and overnight staycations
Tamara McGill McFarland – Makeup
C: My favorite local beauty experts are Criswell & Criswell Plastic Surgery, Nufaces International Hair Salon (Tonya Stokes), The Ritz Carlton for spa and short staycations, and LA Fitness for daily fitness & wellness.

Marisa Munoz, Daughter
Sidebar: There are more than gorgeous faces behind the Munoz clan. The jewelry adorning these ladies was designed and created by Noelle. See more of her work at noellemunozjewelry.com.
The best beauty advice your mother ever gave you?
C: Smile! (Orthodontics is my NUMBER ONE beauty secret!) Actually, personal beauty was not highly prized (or talked about) in my family. My mom was big on doing well in school, behaving appropriately, using good manners, and learning basic life skills--all things that have served me well and will endure long after beauty fades.
M: Wear sunscreen! My mom is much fairer than I am and always made me and my sister wear sunscreen, even to our two-a-day dive practices. That habit came in handy while going to school at the beach, I am not fighting the same wrinkles my friends who went without SPF are now! Thanks mom!
N: Wear sunscreen!
One beauty product you cannot live without?
C: Water. Also, I was a child with long hair before cream rinses or conditioners existed (really!), so I appreciate how they have taken the hellish torture out of hair care. I love Davines products.
M: Mascara - Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara or Tarte's Lights, Camera, Splashes waterproof mascara. Otherwise I just look like my dad in drag.
N: Ooh that's a tough one. I don't really want to be caught without eyeliner and mascara but I really feel like exfoliation is key to smooth, younger looking skin- I can't live without a facial exfoliating pad but I prefer to use Freeze 24/7 IceCrystals Anti-aging Prep and Polish, it's my favorite exfoliator.
Beauty trend you refuse to try?
C: Anything permanent or that involves needles or pain - tattoos, Botox, facelifts, surgery, peels, waxing, etc. Overcome peer pressure and just say no. Spend your money on something you enjoy and that will make your life better! (Also, the outcomes are often not impressive and sometimes downright dreadful.)
M: I'll try anything in the privacy of my vanity!
N: At this point I haven't been very adventurous, but as I age I'm more open minded. I'd certainly like to avoid any surgery.
Biggest beauty splurge that's totally worth it?
C: A fun vacation! Expand your mind, do something active, relax, and be with people you love.
M: Skin care, whatever works best for you. For me it's Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel, used with a Clarisonic, and Caudalie Vinosource Overnight Recovery Oil.
N: I don't spend a lot on my beauty products. Being a jeweler, I'd rather save my money to treat myself to a nice piece of jewelry.
How does nutrition play a role in your beauty routine?
C: I eat for health and pleasure and try to keep those two interests in balance.
M: I drink lots of water throughout the day to make sure my body and skin are nice and hydrated.
N: I'm not super strict with what I eat but generally I try to eat fresh fruit and vegetables as much as I can and stay away from processed foods and sweets. My husband gave me a Vitamix for mothers day this year and I love it. Making a smoothie for breakfast or an afternoon snack has made it easier and more satisfying to eat healthy and keep my sweet tooth at bay.
What is your personal fitness philosophy?
C: Find something active you love to do and do it.
M: I try to work out several times a week at the gym along with long walks with my dog to stay fit and active. I want to feel good in my skin and my clothes!
N: Being five months pregnant my fitness routine has pretty much gone out the window. But I've always felt it's important to do at least a little something every day. If I can't get a good run in or trip to the gym I resort to a good walk with the dog, a short app work out, or a ride on the paddleboard.
What is your beauty regimen when you have a big event?
C: Shower, shave legs, fix hair, put on makeup and perfume. Big event makeup is moisturizer, foundation, blush, mascara, and lipstick. Honestly, I don't think many people care how I look; I just don't want to embarrass the people I'm with.
M: I like to take my time and enjoy every minute of getting ready, I also like to do it all myself! I will usually self tan at home the night before along with a face mask, and do my nails. My favorite self tanner is the Lorac Tantalizer since you see it right away and it's easy to even out using a mitt. Depending on how my skin is acting I will either use GlamGlow Clearing Treatment or Bliss Oxygen Mask. Second day hair works best for keeping a style with my straight hair so I'll take a body shower and make sure I haven't missed any spots tanning. I'll toss in some Bumble and Bumble Pret-a-Powder in my hair to absorb any excess oils in my hair and style as I go. If I go all out I like to go all the way, primer, foundation, bronzer, blush, contour, highlighter, brows, eyes, lips, lashes, the works!
N: I always keep it pretty simple whether I'm getting ready for a normal day or a big night out. On special occasions I won't go without bb cream and eyeshadow in addition to my staple bronzer, eyeliner and mascara and I always try to paint my nails- it makes me feel a little more pulled together.
Best advice for staying young?
C: Have a happy heart and take care of your health. Only death stops aging, so enjoy every moment of your life, follow your passions, and stay active.
M: "If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." - Roald Dahl, The Twits. I think this quote truly exemplifies how to always be beautiful. If you have a young and beautiful heart that shines through more than anything else does.
N: I think getting enough sleep is key to staying young. Being a mom now
I feel like I'm always short on time and I get a lot of my jewelry work done at night but I feel and look much better when I get enough sleep- not to mention I'm less stressed and more productive.
Favorite local beauty expert(s)?
C: My daughter Marisa. She is brutally honest.
M: All the sweet advisers at Sephora and Ulta, I have always gotten great recommendations from them and have rarely been steered wrong.
N: Lindsey Regan Thorn of Be Pretty- one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. My talented hair stylist Maria, owner of Knipt salon, never guides me wrong. And my sister Marisa, who I get all my tips from.

The best beauty advice your mother ever gave you?
A: I don't remember the actual advice she gave me but I do remember clearly how she modeled the importance of self-care. While I didn't understand the importance as a child, I watched her continually carve out the time to meditate, practice yoga, exercise and eat healthy. Her most beautiful self came out in those moments. That is the best model of beauty I could have asked for.
C: Our mother has been practicing yoga for over 35 years. With that comes a healthier lifestyle including steering us towards non-toxic products like traditional Ayurvedic products, crystal deodorant and essential oils. While the research on aluminum, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates wasn't as widespread as it is now; our mom inherently knew we shouldn't be putting unhealthy products on our skin.
One beauty product you cannot live without?
A: Juice Plus. There is not one single beauty product that can do what fruits and vegetables can do for our bodies and skin. The best anti-aging regimen comes from eating an anti-inflammatory diet, which means eating an abundance of fruits and vegetables. I take Juice Plus and eat a high-plant based diet, which provides my body with the daily needed vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients from whole foods.
C: Water. It seems like a no brainer, but 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. I know I was before I went back to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. My skin was always tight and digestion was poor. Water is essential to proper digestion, the absorption of key vitamins and minerals, and flushing the kidneys and liver to rid the body and skin of toxins. Our skin is our largest organ and requires water just like our internal organs to function properly. I drink half my body weight in ounces or more a day. Adding lemon to my water makes it an excellent source of vitamin C, supports my liver, and aids in digestion.
Beauty trend you refuse to try?
A: Botox
C: Botox
Biggest beauty splurge that's totally worth it?
A: Having regular massages. Taking care of our bodies is not a luxury, it is a must.
C: Beautycounter Sunscreen. Avoiding sunscreens with parabens, oxybenzone, phthalates is important to me because these ingredients can be absorbed in the organs. I have a lot of sun damage on my skin from not reapplying properly so it is important to me to use a sunscreen I can apply again and again without looking like my son painted me with white paint. The Beautycounter sunscreen is the first zinc based sunscreen I've found that rubs in even after several reapplications. To avoid vitamin D deficiency, I take a daily supplement.
How does nutrition play a role in your beauty routine?
A: Nutrition plays the largest role in my beauty routine. What we put in our body is a direct reflection of what we see on the outside. I often get asked about my skin and the truth is that healthy skin comes from eating an abundance of plant based foods. When I cut out sugar, processed foods and artificial ingredients and shifted my diet to focus on eating plant-based foods, my skin changed dramatically, including the elimination of eczema. Finding the right foods that fuel you and eliminating the foods that inflame your body is the key to having a healthy gut, which in turn gives you that outward glow that we all strive for.
C: Bigger than any beauty product out there is nutrition. It is said that 80 percent of how our skin looks on the outside is due to our health on the inside, including our gut health. I focus on filling my body with lots of water, healthy fats like avocado, ultra premium olive oil, coconut oil, and omega 3's from salmon, walnuts, chia and flax seeds and foods rich in antioxidants. I avoid processed foods and artificial ingredients. I watch the amount of added sugar in my diet and limit my caffeine to one cup of coffee per day (even with a newborn!). I also take a daily probiotic for gut health and to boost my immune system.
What is your personal fitness philosophy?
A: Fitness is an evolution. I've learned that what worked for me 10 years ago may not be what I need now. We live in a culture that we have to push harder and harder to achieve strength, and I have learned that when it comes to fitness, sometimes, less is more. Being in tune with my body and doing what I know to be true for myself is my fitness philosophy.
C: As a certified holistic health coach, I believe there is no one diet that works for everyone all of the time. We help our clients thrive by finding the foods and lifestyle choices that are right for them. I think the same applies to fitness. It important to find a fitness routine that works for you, you enjoy, and works for your body type. Just like with food, I believe going outside of your comfort zone is important and variety is key. There are several exercise classes that I've thought would be intimidating, but once I got in there, I've loved them and they have made the biggest impact on my body and mind.
What is your beauty regimen when you have a big event?
A: Just having my hair blown out at 8 Salon is a wonderful treat!
C: I make sure to hydrate well with lemon water. For the hair and makeup, I let someone else help me! I love getting my hair blown out by Ashley at 8 Salon.
Best advice for staying young?
A: Lead from your heart. Set aside the fears and doubts and know that you are beautiful and perfect just as you are. Live in the present and silence the voice that tells you what you should be doing. I believe that when we operate from our authentic selves, that is when we see that the truest beauty is not only in ourselves but in each other.
C: Stress Management. This is something I am constantly working on, but the more I do, the better I feel. I find breathing techniques, exercise, yoga, and talking to people help me the most. I recently took a course with Kristen Oliver that has really changed my outlook and how I manage stress. Stress unnecessarily ages us not only through facial lines, but also internally. Excessive stress can really take a toll on the body and mind and in some cases can cause adrenal fatigue, which can result in excessive tiredness, cravings, weight gain, unhealthy skin, dark circles under the eyes, and hormone imbalances, just to name a few symptoms.
Favorite local beauty expert(s)?
A: Minou at Varji and Varji for eyebrow threading, Jenell Boris with Radiant Skin Organic Spa for facials and massage, 8 Salon for hair, Hilliard Studio Method and Be Yoga for my mind and body and, of course, The Whole Tulip, for my healthy eating style.
C: For facials, waxing and massage, I love Deborah at Esthetique and Jenell at Radiant Skin Organic Spa. Ashley and Rodger at 8 the Salon for my hair. Hilliard Studio Method and Be Yoga for my mind and body and of course, The Whole Tulip, for my healthy eating style.

With Jill Dinwiddie
Local Community Issue most on your radar… Since I'm Chair of the Board of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, I have to say that women's access to affordable reproductive health care occupies some of my thinking each day. In tandem with this is the need for girls and young women to have access to reliable, comprehensive sex education so they grow up valuing their strengths and talents determined to protect their own bodies from unwanted advances by men.
Broader national/international issue most on your radar… Following this theme, the plight of young girls in so many parts of the world - acid throwing, bride burning, dowry death, honor killing, genital mutilation, female infanticide, child brides, human trafficking, sexual slavery and murder should make all of us grateful that we live in a country that has laws to protect us from most of these atrocities.
Local non-profit you will drop everything to help…I am over-committed to my community projects but in addition to Planned Parenthood, domestic violence remains a high priority for me.
Best party/event you've been to in the last year… The Library Foundation Verse and Vino.
Recent splurge you treated yourself to… A bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Oreo Cookies. I ration myself to no more than 2 per day.
Charlottean you'd like to see run for Mayor one day… Vi Lyles, although I'm hoping she'll run for the NC Assembly.
Best meal you've had in a while… Dinner at Fearrington House (near Chapel Hill).
Advice you'd give your younger self…Start preparing early to run for public office. I almost ran for Congress when I lived in CA but lost my nerve after the barrage of press inquiries when I just picked up the application. I hate that money is driving the election of our public officials and it's difficult to get smart, talented women to run for office.
Cotswold Home TourWritten by Society
Building Communities: Cotswold Home Tour Benefit
Over coffee at Leroy Fox, Howie Webb announced that Building Communities is making its maiden
voyage in the Cotswold neighborhood. With 12 years of building homes in Charlotte on his resume,
Webb, Co-owner of Ashland Custom Homes with Ed Riesmeyer, decided it was time to do more to
give back to charitable organizations in our community. The two owners have a history of backing
nonprofit causes, including the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The Paula Takacs Foundation
and Camp Sunshine. But, Webb said, "As we grow up, become adults and are fortunate enough to
experience a taste of success in life, we feel that the responsibility to give back and lift others up
grows as well. It is not optional. It is one of the reasons we are in business."
It is the reason they are spearheading the Building Communities home tour as well. The tour,
which takes place Saturday, May 9, from 10a.m.-4p.m., winds through four newly constructed or
renovated luxury homes within five minutes of one another. Tourists will get a taste of the home
styles, not to mention tastes of food from neighborhood restaurants, including Leroy Fox. The event
will also feature an interior design showcase by Cotswold Marketplace.
Webb is making sure the experience runs deeper than the design: 100 percent of ticket sales will
go to four nonprofits, with each represented by one of the four houses: Bee Mighty, Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation Charlotte Chapter, Friendship Trays and Charlotte Rescue Mission.
"I am looking forward to not only what impact we can make on May 9," Webb said, "but the impact
that we and the associated ripple effect can have on the Charlotte community five to ten years from
now. I am constantly amazed and inspired by the generosity of the individuals and businesses in this
community and we are just happy to do our part to make it a little better."
Ashland Custom Homes
The PREVIEW
Verbal tour, as told by Howie Webb
The Friendship Trays House. "Before building this new home on a beautiful corner lot in Old
Cotswold, we had to take down a small ranch home, which was previously occupied by a wonderful
couple for nearly 60 years. Our hope was to create a home large enough to accommodate the needs
of the incoming family, while still respecting the styles and tradition of the neighborhood. Saving as
many trees as possible was also very important."
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation House. "This new construction home was built on a vacant lot for a
young, growing family. As a custom builder, we really strive to focus each project reflecting the unique
style and specific needs of each customer. The interior and exterior of this home feature unique
touches, including sliding barn doors, a library and a rustic oak hardwood floor stained with oil. From
the light fixtures, to the wallpaper, to the molding details—this house is definitely one of a kind, just like
the family for whom it was built."
The Bee Mighty House. This house was extended upwards. "We tore down an existing one-car
garage and added a new, two-car garage. Then we took off the entire roof and went up with three
bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large bonus room over the garage. We added almost 2,700 heated
square feet on an entirely new second level. On the main floor, we added a new drop zone,
rearranged a few of the remaining rooms to accommodate the new staircase and created a great
space for entertaining with an open floor plan and a new kitchen."
The Charlotte Rescue Mission House. This house was expanded out. "We were brought in to create a
new master suite on the main level, and update all of the existing bathrooms. Blending the old and the
new can be challenging—between the un-level floors, unexpected structural issues, and trying to match
old windows, moldings and door styles that are no longer manufactured. In the end, we were able to
achieve a very smooth transition."
Strength in StilettosWritten by Katie Toussaint
A group of physicians from Carolinas HealthCare System(CHS) made an appearance in drag for the fourth-annual Stiletto Sprint at Symphony Park on September 20. They sprinted across a strip of concrete in honor of the ovarian cancer survivors on the sidelines. Dr. Robert Higgins, Associate Director of Gynecological Oncology at CHS, sported a purple body suit, a curly brunette wig, giant teal sunglasses and a fluffy teal boa. "It's a real privilege to care for these women with ovarian cancer," Higgins said.
"They are so courageous and they go through a lot of pain and suffering sometimes." Dr. James Hall, Director of Gynecological Oncology at Levine Cancer Institute, sprinted in a tiara, a frizzy teal wig and matching gloves. "As evidenced by our heels and our outfits," he said, "we'll do anything for the cause—to raise awareness, to provide education and to help fund research. Given the publicity that breast cancer gets, it is important to remember my new mantra for gyn cancers, 'without ovaries, there would be no tatas!'"
The Stiletto Sprint, presented by Bissell, featured a series of sprints but started slow and steady with a Survivor Walk. The morning raised $96,000 for the Carolinas Ovarian Cancer Fund at Levine Cancer Institute.
"Part of what we do here today is to make it so that other women don't have to go through what we have gone through," said Vicky Neer, a survivor. She is a member of the Teal Magnolias, the CHS ovarian cancer support group that established the Stiletto Sprint in 2011 to raise funds for ovarian cancer research—with an emphasis on developing early detection capabilities—while educating others about the disease.
"There is no test, there is no pap smear version for ovarian cancer," Neer said. As she and other survivors at the Stiletto Sprint stressed, ovarian cancer is difficult to catch early, as there are no early-detection devices and the symptoms often go unnoticed until the cancer has progressed. Those symptoms include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, trouble eating, feeling full quickly, and urinary urgency or frequency.
"I'm here because of the luck of the calendar," said Neer, whose cancer was caught when she went to a routine gynecological appointment.
As for the monthly meetings with the Teal Magnolias, she said, "The support in that room is incredible for women who are just diagnosed, for women who are going through treatment and for women who are in remission and can provide emotional support and information for the others."
The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2014 nearly 22,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. For about 14,200 women, that diagnosis will be fatal. The disease ranks No. 5 in female cancer deaths.
Emcee Maureen O'Boyle of WBTV said, "Levine Cancer Institute is working so hard… it is our effort that in the next five years we will have what we need to make everyone a survivor of ovarian cancer."
