Bankruptcy Filers: Be on Alert for a Phone Scam
If you have recently or are currently in the process of filing for bankruptcy, be on alert. There has been a phone scam circulating where individuals pose as attorneys to get their intended victims to wire money immediately to satisfy debts. These scammers lift personal information from the paperwork used in bankruptcy filings.
Under no circumstances would a bankruptcy attorney or staff member telephone a client and ask for an immediate wire transfer to satisfy the debt. The National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys also warned that bankruptcy attorneys and staff would never threaten arrest if a debt isn't paid.
As of October 2015, bankruptcy filers in Vermont and Virginia have received and reported such calls. According to Vermont's Attorney General, scammers use a type of software that can 'spoof' the Caller ID system to make the call look like it is coming from the phone line of the consumer's bankruptcy attorney. These calls mostly arrive during late evening hours or non-business hours, making it purposefully difficult for intended victims to contact their attorney in an effort to verify the legitimacy of the call.
If you receive such a call, you are advised to hang up immediately and contact your bankruptcy attorney as soon as possible. Be sure that you do not give any personal or financial account information to this caller. If you have any questions about the above material or wish to speak to an attorney, please contact HoganWillig at 716-636-7600. HoganWillig is located at 2410 North Forest Road in Amherst, New York 14068, with additional offices in Buffalo, Lancaster, and Lockport.

In jewelry photography when photographing a small diamond ring, this requires a slightly different approach. The images really need to be able to showcase the fine detail and quality of the product, regardless of how tiny the size is. For this shoot, I worked with a diamond-encrusted, gold ring.
The client, Mikus Diamonds, is a local, high-end jewellery manufacturer based in Slovakia. For this project, they wanted to showcase their luxury range of diamond rings for an upcoming Spring campaign. Their requirements asked that the photographs include a floral feature that suggested the beginning of the season when the flowers come out.
Both myself and the client were impressed with the results, and after sharing it on social media, the images received positive accolades from the photography community. Below I shall provide a brief summary behind the lighting, composition and editing used in order to achieve the final results.
The flower surrounding
Firstly, I headed out to find a florist and purchased a bunch of colourful flowers. I didn't know yet which colours or types would work best for the shoot, so I made sure to pick a few different varieties. After a bit of experimenting I decided that the dark orange-yellow flowers, I think they are Dahlia or Chrysanthemums. I started by cutting the stems off the flower and just using the heads to form a background. They were arranged in a tight, circular pattern along a whiteboard, just wide enough for the ring to sit inside.
One thing I noticed was that the light source was far too big for this little setup. In order to focus more precisely on the centre, I created a black paper cone. This narrowed the focal point and resulted in more interesting shadows being cast on the petals. It is so important to understand how shadows are made, and how to manipulate them on a small scale. We wanted the shadows to be only millimetres wide.
Working with the ring
The next obstacle I faced was that the ring was just not getting enough attention in the centre. It seemed the exposure and surrounding scene was swallowing the detail up. I wanted the shine and polish of the gold to protrude more. For this I assembled a different shoot, where I placed white cards around the ring, to reflect the pureness of the tones.
By working with the ring separately, I created the perfecting lighting, and the result was multiple images of the ring at different angles. I later composited all of the separate images together, which resulted in an extremely crisp and detailed subject.
I cut out the ring in Photoshop and placed onto the floral background. This focus-stacking technique is popular in macro photography. I tried Helicon Focus first but found Photoshop to achieve the desired result better.
I trust that you have enjoyed learning about the process behind this shoot. What are your thoughts on shooting small subjects like jewellery? Leave your comments below.

In a news release, Toronto-based minerals explorer Aurania Resources Ltd. (ARU:TSX.V; AUIAF:OTCQB) announced that "drilling has commenced on the Tsenken N2 copper-silver target at its Lost Cities Cutucu Project in southeastern Ecuador."
Aurania Resources stated that the Lost Cities Cutucu Project is its flagship asset situated in the Jurassic Metallogenic Belt in the eastern foothills of the Andes mountains.
The company's Chairman and CEO Dr. Keith Barron remarked, "I'm delighted to report that drilling has started at the Tsenken N2 target. The man-portable rig was airlifted to the first drill platform by helicopter last week and drilling started on Sunday."
"The light-weight rig has the capacity to drill to 800 meters (2,400 feet) so that each drill hole can test both cylindrical porphyry targets as well as enclosing sheet-like sedimentary-hosted copper-silver targets," Barron added.
The firm explained that it will be drill testing its exploration concept at the Tsenken N2 copper-silver target: "slightly inclined sedimentary layers partially cover roughly cylindrical-shaped porphyry copper targets." The company's plans at Tsenken N2 call for drilling three to five holes to a depth of around 400 meters. After completing the work there, the firm noted that it will move the drill rig to begin operations to test the Tsenken N3 target.
The company indicated that it intends to report the results from drilling when they are received which is likely to occur near the end of October or early November 2020.

South Fla. Car Dealer Says He's Victim Of Obscure State Law
Earl Stewart Says He Has To Take Driver's Test After Someone Complained About His Driving
A South Florida car dealer could have his driver's license suspended if he doesn't pass a driver's test that is being required of him after someone complained about his driving.
Earl Stewart, whose name is attached to Earl Stewart Toyota of North Palm Beach, is being required to pass a driver's test because of a state law that allows anyone to confidentially report a driver who he or she believes is incapable of driving safely.
"I'm very upset," Stewart told WPBF 25 News. "I'm waking up in the middle of the night thinking about it."
Stewart, 70, admitted he drives a little fast sometimes.
"I do speed all the time," Stewart said. "I mean, if it's 35 (mph), I'll go 39."
Stewart, who said he's never been in an accident, called the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to find out who reported him.
"They said they can't tell me," Stewart said.
Stewart said he feels the law could be used for malicious intent.
"The frustration is you don't know who it could be," Stewart said, citing a disgruntled employee as a possible example.
Under the law, anyone can report another driver by filling out a medical impairment form, which states, "Any physician, person or agency having knowledge of any licensed driver's or applicant's mental or physical disability to drive ... is authorized to report." The form also states that the report "shall be confidential" and that "no civil or criminal action may be brought against" the person who provides the information.
Those drivers who have been reported are then required to take a driving, vision and hearing test in order to keep their license.
A spokeswoman for the DMV said it's important to keep people's identities confidential so they will report impaired drivers.
Stewart said that if he passes the test then he should be able to find out who reported him.
"When people say that I have an impairment, that I can't drive a car, that's got a little bit of a stigma on it," Stewart said. "It's an embarrassment."

A study found that limiting eating to a 10-hour window per day may help prevent chronic diseases associated with metabolic syndrome. The discovery might lead to a new treatment option for people who are at risk of the maladies.
Approximately 30 percent of Americans have metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that include excess fat around the waist, high blood pressure and high blood sugar.
Unlike counting calories, time-restricted eating is a simple dietary intervention to incorporate, and we found that participants were able to keep the eating schedule.
The syndrome is of concern because it increases the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Doctors advise patients to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly; however, these lifestyle practices are hard to maintain, and even with medications, the illness is often difficult to manage fully.
Scientists from the Salk Institute and the University of California San Diego School of Medicine collaborated in a study and discovered that restricting eating to a 10-hour daily timeframe, when combined with medication, can help. It resulted in a reduction in all the conditions.See Also:Olive Oil Health Benefits
"Unlike counting calories, time-restricted eating is a simple dietary intervention to incorporate, and we found that participants were able to keep the eating schedule." said Satchidananda Panda, coauthor and professor in Salk's Regulatory Biology Laboratory.
Time-restricted eating involves consuming all calories within a limited period each day, in this case, within 10 hours. Earlier studies show the practice supports circadian rhythms, which are the 24-hour cycles of biological actions that affect most of the cells within the body. Researchers have found that erratic eating patterns adversely affect the rhythms, thus raising the risk of metabolic syndrome symptoms.
Emily Manoogian, co-first author and a postdoctoral fellow in the Panda lab, explained that limiting consumption of everything except water to 10 hours permits the body to rest for 14 hours within every 24-hour period. Consequently, it promotes better metabolism.
The study involved 19 participants with metabolic syndrome who reported eating within a daily window of more than 14 hours. Eighty-four percent of the individuals were taking at least one medication. They used an app to record the times they ate, as well as the foods they consumed within the baseline two-week period and the following three-month time-restricted experiment.
Participants reported no negative effects from limiting consumption to 10 hours per day. Moreover, they experienced a range of benefits, including a reduction in weight, body mass index and waist circumference. In addition, they slept better and had healthier blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels, all of which reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
"The body's circadian rhythm is like a central clock in the brain that responds to light," first author Michael Wilkinson, assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, told Olive Oil Times. "The responses influence activity in peripheral organs, such as the liver, which have their own clocks."
"Aside from light, dietary intake affects the clocks. When food is eaten in the late evening or early morning, it interrupts the normal day-night metabolism cycles in the organs that otherwise follow the circadian rhythm," he added. "Nightly fasting from food allows these metabolic processes to proceed without disturbance.
"Therefore, we hypothesized that because time-restricted eating aligns dietary intake with the circadian rhythm, metabolism is healthier and food is essentially metabolized more efficiently," Wilkinson concluded. "The down-stream effects of a healthier metabolism are protection from obesity and related metabolic disorders."
The study was published in Cell Metabolism.

Malachite Banded Bright Green Gemstone Multistone Sterling Silver Necklace
El Loro Jewelry & Gifts
Sorry, this item is out of stock
This is a fun, unique sterling silver Malachite necklace! It is composed of multiple malachite stones set in sterling silver. It includes an adjustable chain, which allows you to wear it at different lengths. Also, we have an extensive collection of Malachite earrings, bracelets, rings, and beaded strands, many that are not listed here. (Contact us for length and dimensions, and for pictures of it being worn.) This necklace is a very brightly colored and graphic piece, and would make a lovely addition to your jewelry collection!
Malachite has a distinctive, graphic look that is like no other stone. This banded bright green mineral is most often found in Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and forms in bubbly botryoidal layers. Polished flat, these layers form concentric bands of varying shades of green. Malachite's distinctive look will add an air of funky and creative color to your jewelry ensemble.
PHYSICAL: Malachite is a secondary copper bearing carbonate mineral, and forms in contact zones in copper deposits. Malachite often forms as a secondary mineralization after azurite and other copper minerals, as a pseudomorph. Prominent deposits include DRC, Peru, Laos, Thailand, Morocco, and more.
HEALING: Malachite is associated with leadership, enlightened decisionmaking, protection, and heart healing. It is connected to the element of fire, and the 4th chakra (heart).
Care for gemstones in sterling silver jewelry:
As with all natural stones set in silver, these jewelry pieces should be removed when taking a shower, swimming, or entering a hot springs. Water (especially hot water) can damage natural materials and even cause settings to fail. This is especially true with gemstone rings!
*Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for wear in jewelry, display, study, and collector interest only.

Interpreter Interfaces#
Sage provides a unified interface to the best computational software. This is accomplished using both C-libraries (see C/C++ Library Interfaces) and interpreter interfaces, which are implemented using pseudo-tty's, system files, etc. This chapter is about these interpreter interfaces.
Each interface requires that the corresponding software is installed on your computer. Sage includes GAP, PARI, Singular, and Maxima, but does not include Octave (very easy to install), MAGMA (non-free), Maple (non-free), or Mathematica (non-free).
There is overhead associated with each call to one of these
systems. For example, computing
2+2 thousands of times using
the GAP interface will be slower than doing it directly in
Sage. In contrast, the C-library interfaces of
C/C++ Library Interfaces
incur less overhead.
In addition to the commands described for each of the interfaces
below, you can also type e.g.,
%magma, etc., to directly interact with a given
interface in its state. Alternatively, if
X is an
interface object, typing
X.interact() allows you to
interact with it. This is completely different than
X.console() which starts a complete new copy of
whatever program
X interacts with. Note that the
input for
X.interact() is handled by Sage, so the
history buffer is the same as for Sage, tab completion is as for
Sage (unfortunately!), and input that spans multiple lines must be
indicated using a backslash at the end of each line. You can pull
data into an interactive session with
X using
The console and interact methods of an interface do very different things. For example, using gap as an example:
gap.console(): You are completely using another program, e.g., gap/magma/gp Here Sage is serving as nothing more than a convenient program launcher, similar to bash.
gap.interact(): This is a convenient way to interact with a running gap instance that may be "full of" Sage objects. You can import Sage objects into this gap (even from the interactive interface), etc.
The console function is very useful on occasion, since you get the exact actual program available (especially useful for tab completion and testing to make sure nothing funny is going on).

For the second time in less than six months, the EEOC finds itself on the wrong side of a lawsuit. On November 4, 2013, the State of Texas sued the EEOC in the Northern District of Texas seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against the EEOC for issuing its 2012 arrest and conviction guidance (the "2012 Guidance"). In short, the Texas complaint argues that the EEOC did not have the authority to issue this rule (described in detail below). The lawsuit also claims that the EEOC's position that Title VII trumps conflicting state laws violates its state sovereignty. As it stands, Texas state law allows for blanket, no-felons policies at certain state agencies. Through this lawsuit, Texas, in its role as an employer, attempts to preemptively force the EEOC to defend its 2012 Guidance. Importantly, this lawsuit follows a pointed letter from nine Attorneys General stating that the 2012 Guidance is "misguided and a quintessential example of gross federal overreach" (here) and attempts in Congress to prohibit the EEOC from spending funds enforcing the 2012 Guidance.
The Texas suit itself highlights several state agencies that absolutely bar anyone convicted of a felony, or certain felonies, from employment, including the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Aging and Disability Services, the General Land Office, the Juvenile Justice Department, the Lottery Commission, the Parks and Wildlife Department and the public school system.
Since 1987, during the chairmanship of Clarence Thomas, it has been the EEOC's policy that an employer should avoid blanket, one-size fits all, criminal record policies. The EEOC's 1987 guidance incorporated the test set forth in Green v. Missouri Pacific Railroad Co., 523 F.2d 1290 (8th Cir. 1975) (the "Green factors"). The Green factors include the gravity and severity of the crime; the nature of the job at issue; and how long ago a crime was committed. The Green factors were, in the 1987 guidance, and remain under the 2012 Guidance, the touchstone in examining criminal record use policies. While the 2012 Guidance expanded on the Green factors to include an "individualized assessment" component, the EEOC, as it must, explicitly recognized that Title VII "does not require an individualized assessment in all circumstances."
To date, the Commission has lost three major cases in this area, but none of those courts actually reached the merits of the EEOC's underlying theory. The EEOC lost in Peoplemark (here and here) because it pursued a violation based on a companywide policy that did not exist. The EEOC lost in Kaplan (here) because it failed to show a prima facie case of disparate impact and, at least in part, because the EEOC maintained a credit and criminal background check policy for its own employees. Finally, the EEOC lost in Freeman (here) because its expert analyzed data from the wrong period of time. The Commission is in active litigation alleging that employers' criminal background policies had a disparate impact on minorities and as such, violated Title VII.
The Texas action is not without its quirks. For example, the Department of Justice is the governmental arm that litigates Title VII violations against state agencies and not the EEOC. The State of Texas's lawsuit nevertheless highlights the Hobson's choice for employers where state laws prohibit felons from obtaining certain positions. When Congress enacted Title VII in 1964, it specifically exempted individuals from federal liability for following state law, unless that state law "purports to require or permit the doing of any act which would be an unlawful employment practice under [Title VII]." 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-7. That Title VII standards preempt conflicting non-federal employment law requirements is viewed by many as a given.
The 2012 Guidance, however, fails as a practical matter to clarify what the Commission would expect an employer to do when faced with a state law provision that potentially violated Title VII. Likewise, the 2012 Guidance fails to specifically inform employers what they can do when considering felons for employment, but rather merely outlines what the Commission believes that employers cannot do. Enter: the Lone Star State and its current suit.
Regardless of recent setbacks, the Texas suit is likely to yet again galvanize the EEOC to rally around its embattled background check theories. The EEOC's agenda is fairly characterized as "high risk – high reward," where pushing the boundaries of EEO laws is an explicit EEOC national priority (here). Whether the EEOC is successful prosecuting these cases, or defending its policy in Texas, remains to be seen. The implications of these cases will likely clarify the bounds of how courts will view the EEOC's interpretation of Title VII in this area. The Texas suit, however, has ensured that this area remains in the spotlight.

I'm down in sunny Orlando for the Microsoft TechEd Conference this week which is odd because I am nether technical nor particularly educated; maybe I'll return a different person. One of the things that I'm going to be validating with customers, partners and the Microsoft team is the general concept of "SharePoint Archiving."
It would seem that one man's archive is another man's backup/journal/file system. This has not always been the case but these days we seem to overload the term 'archiving' way too much IMHO. In fact, the definition of an archive seems to be multidimensional; based on why you archive, how you archive or even where you archive from - I'd proffer that there is no right or wrong definition, just different ones. At the end of this piece I'll suggest specific terms to describe each 'flavor' of archive that might help clarify the different approaches.
There are three main areas that I am considering right now:
- What do we mean by an archive?
- Why bother archiving at all?
- At what level of the SharePoint architecture would you perform the archiving?
Let's consider each of these in turn - if you are at TechEd and you have an opinion that you'd like to share then head over to the EMC booth and they should be able to get hold of me.
This seems like a redundant question - "What is an archive?" seems like a question that contains the answer... let me give you a few different definitions that I've heard bandied around and you'll see how broad a range of definitions there are:
- Some vendors have solutions that copy an entire document library or site to an 'archive' .
- The ability to declare a piece of content in SharePoint as a record can be termed 'archiving'.
- Allegedly, Microsoft call their remote blob storage capabilities 'archiving', (RBS and associated new functionality support the ability to store content on a file system instead of the SQL Server database.).
- If you are the DB admin then backing up the underlying SQL Server database is archiving.
I think that the confusion and hence the clarification actually comes from the next question - "Why?"
Your personal definition of archiving is going to be driven by the rationale for archiving in the first place. Is it driven by compliance, is it a way to increase performance, does it provide operational backups, does it reduce scalability constraints or is it a means to re-purpose the content? Also consider whether the archive is active or inactive - do you need to archive the content and then continue to access it from SharePoint or will the archive only be used offline?
I think that it is fair to say that until recently an archive was something that took your content offline. Consider the original archives that we had before electronic document management systems appeared - they were physical vaults where your 'archived content' was shipped off to in a box. We continue to use the term archive when the reality of what an archive looks like have changed dramatically.
This is an interesting question that forms another dimension of the definition of archiving although I recognize that this is the technology solution wagging the business problem, (there's a metaphorical mix that you don't hear too often!)
Will you archive from a very low level by grabbing content from the file system or directly from SQL Server? Will you archive transparently from SharePoint so that the end user does not even know what the archive happened? Will the archive process be something that the end user invokes intentionally (e.g. by declaring an object as being a record).
The 'where' question will determine the number of objects that you will archive and what you can do to the archived content. Archiving content at a low level without SharePoint knowing that you've done it makes it harder to apply extra constraints to the content; for example, if you archive something out of SQL Server and make it immutable and then try to delete it from SharePoint what will happen? If you archive content as a manual process at a higher level in the stack then the chance is greater that you'll be able to interact with the archived content intelligently.
Who Cares?
I think that we all should; we cannot just keep throwing content into SharePoint without an 'exit strategy' for the content. If you don't know what is going to happen to the content in the future then you'd better start saving up for all of the nice EMC hardware that you'll need!
Chapman's Definitions:
As promised, here are my definitions for the different types of archiving...
- Archive: A copy of content and/or metadata that is stored offline for compliance purposes. This includes formal compliance requirements like records management and also informal business-driven/best practice compliance such as keeping copies of documents for historical reasons.
- Backup: Differs from an archive because the sole purpose of the copy is to allow the content to be recovered for operational reasons.
- Journal: Differs from an archive because the content is moved from SharePoint in to the journal provider and remains online. Not all content needs to be moved to the journal - maybe just content that is over a specific size or of a certain type.
- Centralized repository: Similar to a journal but the content is consolidated in to one location, (a journal solution could legitimately have one journal location per SharePoint site.) This approach allows you to have an aggregated view of content across sites and to then manage the content en masse.
I'm sure that this list is not comprehensive; I'd love to add more definitions to it and also tighten up the scope of each one. If you have feedback I'll incorporate it.

Great video but is there a reason you guys faking accents? It looks so stupid.
Nice ... how many times in a week do we need to practice for better results ? Thanks a lot ...
Way too long of an introduction. Would not subscribe or watch another video posted by this member. Took too long to actually start the yoga without providing any real useful information in that time, making it wasted. Vague, obvious facts, doctor suggestions learned in 7th grade health. I came for yoga not a period brochure read aloud.

The Daily Collegian and Van Meter-Butterfield House Council will be hosting the Second Annual Paper Jam concert on Saturday, April 30. The performing lineup consists of The Futurenows, The Shape, The Telephone Company, Brendan Ryan, DJ Desert Storm, Mooseknuckle, and The Cubbies. The performances begin at 2:00 P.M. on Orchard Hill, and the event is free to all.
The Futurenows' UMass seniors Brian Goss, Sean Nolan, Clinton Shaver and Greenfield resident Tony Interlande are scheduled to perform twice during the concert. This harmonic rocker band is currently preparing to release its debut album, "Stateless State of Mind" for the end of May. In what may come as a surprise to fans, the band will be performing alongside new member and UMass senior Isaac Wainstein.
Jazz improvisation group The Shape features UMass students Matt Ely, Mark Goodwin, and Umass alum Andrew Jaquith. Graduating hasn't stopped Jaquith from dedicating time to the band, as they are also preparing to release their debut album at the end of May. Drummer Goodwin said The Shape's self-titled album is a unique combination of Radiohead meets Phish.
"Fill the Hill" Paper Jam runs until 8:30 p.m. and will provide much more than live music. Greeno Sub Shop and Earth Foods are catering the concert with snacks, and there will be a raffle to win a Sprint cell phone.
The festivities will be held around the basketball courts with the main stage located on the court. Students and locals are encouraged to join in on the fun!

Good Bones star Mina Starsiak's got a new addition, only this one has less to do with her home (though she'll certainly have to make a little more room for this one), and everything to do with her family. The house rehabber gave birth to her son, Jack Richard Hawk, on Thursday at 4:15 a.m., Today confirmed. Mina's husband, Steve Hawk, said the baby weighed 6.1 pounds and was 19 1/4" long.
Over the past four days, the couple's shared several photos of their newborn son, including one of Jack sleeping while wearing a onesie that will crack you up, no matter who you are. (As Mina posted on Instagram, Jack may have "gotten his daddy's looks, but that's definitely mom's sense of humor.")

And, in case you know someone who'd die laughing over the look, good news — you can score a similar design on Etsy.
Original Post: April 25, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. EST
Mina Starsiak's a planner through and through. The Good Bones star has to be, as she renovates homes on her HGTV series, but she recently revealed she's every bit as buttoned-up when it comes to her personal life — down to her pregnancy. The same day she made her mom-to-be status Instagram official, with a faux-movie poster Hawk Party of 6 post, she shared a screenshot of her Amazon Baby Registry. Which, yes, she'd already made. And yes, she made it weeks before she even knew she was pregnant.
"If you'll notice, this here registry says '19 WEEKS TO GO' ... which is NOT accurate. 😂 That's how LONG ago I decided I was getting pregnant and, therefore, obviously had to completely plan it out," Starsiak explained.
Naturally, this might make you wonder: Wait, so when is the baby due?! Starsiak and her husband, Steve Hawk, are expecting their little one's arrival this August. During a recent interview with CountryLiving.com, she got even more specific, saying she was about 22 weeks along at the time of her interview, which the brand estimated meant she was due around August 13.
So far, Starsiak hasn't revealed whether she's having a boy or girl — and most of the pictures she's posted of baby gifts have been pretty gender neutral and swag-filled (HGTV shirts and teddy bears, a Magnolia Market onesie).
And, while she hasn't posted any photos of the baby's nursery, we can only imagine the master planner is already designing it as she closes in on her third trimester. The couple's already bought a ukulele for playing Baby Hawk's lullabies — they'll "sound better on it than a guitar," Starsiak wrote on Instagram — so it only makes sense she's planning in other ways for her first child's arrival.
Oh, and on that note, if the "Party of 6" confused you, let's clarify: Starsiak and Hawk are counting themselves and their three dogs (Beatrice, Frank and Sophie) in that lineup, plus the baby. This might not be the only child in the Hawk household, though. "When I was younger I wanted six kids, but I think we'd be good with two," Starsiak told People.

According to reports from The Mirror, Leicester City and Crystal Palace are ready to battle for Burnley defender James Tarkowski in the summer transfer window.
The Foxes were interested in signing the Burnley defender last summer but they were priced out of a move for the England centre-half.
However, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has renewed his interest in the 27-year-old defender, as he looks to bolster his defence this summer.
The report claims that Burnley have slapped a prohibitive £50 million price tag on the former Charlton defender.
Leicester City are desperate to bolster their defence following the departure of Harry Maguire last summer. The Foxes are looking to sign a defender who is a proven Premier League performer, and their chances of signing Tarkowski will improve if they qualify for the Champions League this season.
Tarkowski is their first-choice target, but Rodgers is also interested in Southampton's Jannik Vestergaard and Bournemouth's Nathan Ake.
Crystal Palace are also interested in signing the defender but whether they would be able to meet his asking price remains to be seen.
Tarkowski is a key player for Sean Dyche's side, and Burnley would do their best to keep him at the club. He has a contract at the club till 2022.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Monday said that Congress should supposrt SP-BSP alliance if they are contesting against BJP in Lok Sabha elections.
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister also welcomed Priyanka Gandhi's entry into active politics.
When asked about the 'Priyanka factor' being termed as a masterstroke of the Congress, Akhilesh said, "If the Congress vows to fight against the BJP, which is an expert is spreading lies, it should support our (SP-BSP) alliance. We have already spared two seats Raebareli and Amethi for them."
The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister was responding to questions during an interview to PTI in Lucknow.
His remarks assume significance in the light of Congress president Rahul Gandhi's comment that he has due regard and respect for both Akhilesh and Mayawati and there was no animosity against them.
Rahul had also said his party won't play on the backfoot and added, "We will play on the front foot, be it Gujarat or Uttar Pradesh".
Asked about the appointment of Priyanka Gandhi as in-charge of Uttar Pradesh East, he said, "I welcome her entry in active politics. Youth should join active politics for making the new India".
On Yogi Adityanath government's decision to hold cabinet meeting in Kumbh in Prayagraj, Akhilesh reminded the BJP of the connection of Kumbh to Kannauj, the Lok Sabha constituency represented by his wife Dimple Yadav.
"It was Raja Harsh Vardhan, whose capital was in Kannauj which started the tradition of 'daan' in Kumbh. He used to come here and give 'daan'. If the BJP government is serious about development of the state, it should tell what it has done on its own except schemes launched in my regime," he said.
Akhilesh, who took a holy dip in Sangam -confluence of rivers Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati in Prayagraj said that in his regime Kumbh arrangements were made and that too by Muslim leaders and officers.
"People come to Kumbh due to their faith. In our regime Urban Development Minister Mohd Azam Khan, Health Minister Ahmad Hasan and Chief Secretary Javed Usmani did the best of arrangements. The SP believes in uniting people unlike the BJP which is dividing society on communal lines," he said.
Quizzed about CM Yogi Adityanath's remark that his government can resolve the Ram temple issue in 24 hours, Akhilesh said, "Pehle kisano ko agle 90 dino me 'saand' se bacha lein jo fasal chaupat kar rahe hain" (he should first save farmers in the next 90 days from the onslaught of bulls, which are ruining crops."
Adityanath had last week said that the Supreme Court must work towards an early resolution of the Ram temple case and "...if there is unnecessary delay, institutions may lose people's trust. I want to say that the court should give its verdict soon, and if it is unable to do so, it should hand over the issue to us. We will resolve the Ram Janmabhoomi dispute within 24 hours. We won't take 25 hours".
The Samajwadi Party chief said, "If such a statement is given by a chief minister on Republic Day, one can imagine what kind of the CM he must be."
Promising to make caste data available if voted to power, Akhilesh said, "If we come to power we will reveal caste data. Without knowing the caste data development schemes cannot be formed accurately".

So, one of the most common complaints about PCalc before 1.7 is that it took too long to launch – around four seconds on an iPhone 1st Generation. I actually got emails accusing me of having a massive ego because I was making the splash screen stay up for so long. Now, I may have a massive ego anyway, but that's not why it was happening.

Last week, we finished registering both kids for their new school in our new city of Gainesville, Florida. Bryce will be entering Kindergarten and Lydia will be in second grade, so this is the first time they will be in the same school together. Because Bryce only went to half-day school for PreK, this is also the first time we will have to buy them similar school supplies, pack school lunches each day, do homework together, and so many new school adventures {don't worry… Walmart can help with the back-to-school preparation}. While we have some exciting changes ahead, I know the kids will miss some of their friends back home and their old schools, so Richard and I are doing all we can to help the kids adjust to a new school.
Is your child beginning at a new school this year? Here are some ideas to prepare them for the 2017-2018 school year:
- Visit the school several times before the school year begins.
- Join the parent-teacher group {e.g. PTA, PTO, PSO} to get to know some of the other families.
- Attend school functions like Meet the Teacher and Open House.
- Register to be a school volunteer so you can help out in your children's classrooms and around the school.
- If you are new to the neighborhood, set up play dates at the beginning of the school year so your children can bond with their peers.
- Purchase new clothing and school supplies that help your children feel confident about attending a new school.
- Pack a lunch each day with their favorite snacks.
In addition to making a lunch with some of my children's favorite foods, I also created these Printable Lunch Notes {click to print} for the first day of school. Lydia is an excellent reader, but Bryce is still working on his pre-reading skills, so I designed notes for readers and notes for non-readers. I can put one in their lunches on the first day and one in their backpacks. If you want your kid to get quality education then search for an igcse tuition centre near me.
You know that old expression "You only have one chance to make a first impression"? Well, that definitely applies to children in school. Make their first day in a new school a great day so that they are excited to return each day! You can personalize the notes by writing a special message on the back {or drawing pictures for your non-readers}.
I like to include fresh fruits and vegetables {strawberries and baby carrots are their favorites}, cubes of cheese, Goldfish® crackers , deli meats, and a treat in their lunches each day. I use small containers because they provide the perfect portion and prevent the snacks from getting squished as they could in zipper bags. I want the kids to come home with full bellies and empty lunch bags!
Hover over the photo below to purchase all of your back-to-school essentials.
To purchase the produce featured in the image above, find a Walmart near you!
Here's another tip! I purchased Goldfish® Bulk Cartons (30 oz) to pack in their lunch bags, but I also purchased a large container for each of their classrooms. Teachers love when parents help out {I was a teacher for 10 years, so I know that firsthand}, and a classroom snack is a great way to help!
I think Lydia is ready for a great year at her new school! I hope Bryce is, too, now that he's transitioning from a preschool to an elementary school.
Head to Walmart where you can purchase Goldfish® crackers, fresh produce, and back-to-school supplies! Check out the great rollback price on Goldfish® Bulk Cartons (30 oz): Just $5.98. And be sure to look for all the great deals on back-to-school supplies, including backpacks, markers, crayons, pencils, notebooks, and so much more!

Autumn is in full swing, and with it comes the Feasting Season, beginning with the Halloween candy bowl, Thanksgiving, and Christmas gatherings. Ironically, this anticipation can be both a blessing and a source of stress for those of us who watch our diets. When I am tempted to indulge (and who isn't from time to time?) I remind myself of the French axiom "Cake or bread?" The key word in this little phrase is OR, meaning that in order to avoid over indulging, I am wise to eat cake OR bread, but not both.
It's a useful practice. Reducing dietary carbohydrates, especially grains and sugars, is an excellent way to lose excess body fat. For those with metabolic or digestive disease, there may be no choice in the matter, with both sugar and grains best avoided. But for those who can tolerate a more liberal diet, making a few strategic choices can allow us to "have our cake and eat it too." Here are some suggestions:
Take this axiom literally, and choose to skip the bread basket if you plan to have some dessert. Or spread a little extra butter on that bread and let it be your dessert.
Another strategy is to divide and conquer. Eat half a roll, and cut a thinner slice of pie. Eat smaller portions of everything. Skip the egg nog or sparkling apple cider, and resolve to eat rather than drink those extra calories.
Mashed potatoes or stuffing with turkey? To have this abundance of choices is truly a blessing, especially when we know all too well that there are those who would love to have such a "problem" of choice!
When it comes to giving, we are also faced with an abundance of choices. I can give through my local church, or send a check for California wildfire disaster relief to the conference center. I can donate through UMCOR or join a Volunteers in Mission project. I can give to the local food bank, Heifer Project International or to Habitat for Humanity.
Choices, choices! Do we adopt a favorite charity or spread the love among many? What we ultimately choose to do doesn't matter as much as the fact that we make a choice and follow our inspiration. There's a lot of need in the world, and it can feel overwhelming at times. Giving is the best antidote I know to "compassion fatigue". Sometimes it all boils down to the next choice in front of us. And that's enough. --Andrea Winchester

In November 2015 I began my set of paintings of Winchester, where I have lived since 2003. I sat on a bench in front of this iconic, famous and historical building on a cold November morning, and started a drawing of the West Window. I never know how a painting will end up when I start, so it was interesting to watch it develop. I like to create my own interpretation of a scene, and not be too architectural or realistic, and this painting certainly captures the majesty of the building with its stonework and intricate carvings.
I love the story about the West Window which recounts when Oliver Cromwell's army smashed the West window into smithereens, the locals collected up all the pieces of coloured stained glass from the ground and stored them safely until they could be replaced.
Sometime later the locals returned all the broken pieces of stained glass back into the window, but there was no record of the image of the original window, so all of the pieces were replaced and now the window is just a random mixture of pieces of coloured glass!
I sat at Café Monde and painted this local square near the Cathedral which is full of shops and cafes. The house of John of Gaunt is the turreted building. Lots of locals stopped to talk to me about the painting.
At Easter 2016 I sat on a bench in front of these historical timbered houses which are full of character, old doors, mullioned windows with different panes of glass in diamond, square and oblong pieces. It's not until you sit and observe something closely that you notice all the intricate details. I enjoyed painting the colours of the timbers and the plasterwork with warm tones of beige and terracotta. This painting is showing as unfinished but I like the effect of having it part painted and am intending to also finish the original and make prints of that as well.
In Summer 2016 I visited Highcliffe Castle and sat in the outdoor café and started drawing the visitors to the Tea Rooms enjoying the grounds in front of the castle. While I was drawing, I was attracting attention from some of the staff who came to look at my drawing, and kept an eye on progress, and the Café Manageress Andrea ordered a print of the painting before I had started to paint it! A few months later once the painting was finished, I delivered a framed print back to Andrea, who with her team, had purchased the print for the café owner as a retirement gift!
She was delighted with it!
I love France and in 2015-16 I visited Normandy, and created a set of paintings in the coastal towns of Honfleur, Deauville, Trouville and further inland in Rouen. I made a departure from my usual style of imaginative painting, and following the example of the Impressionists I sat outdoors and painted 'en plein air' in front of my chosen scene.
My first 'plein air' painting was in Trouville, where I sat in a beach café and painted some amazing grand old houses on the beachfront. These types of beach houses along the coast are traditionally the holiday homes of Parisians who flock to the beach in July and August to escape the heat of the city.
These houses really are rambling and quite quirky with yellowy green moss growing on the rooves and large shutters which are thrown open onto balconies with fancy ironwork railings.
People have described the style of my painting like gingerbread houses?! I found that while concentrating on my painting, my hearing became very tuned into the sounds around me, and I listened to the sounds of seagulls flying overhead, children playing in the sand, ladies gossiping at tables nearby. People stopped to talk to me and 'ooh and aah' at my painting, and asked me questions about my methods, and about the watercolours, and to have their photo taken with me.
It's amazing how many people tell me about their own art and how they can't paint but I always encourage them and tell them not to be afraid to try.
This was my second 'plein air' painting and I sat on the beach in the very fashionable resort of Deauville, where the annual film festival takes place.
The beach is famous for its colourful parasols with ties of contrasting colours and these parasols feature heavily in local art! This painting looks from the beach with its parasols and beach huts, out towards Le Harvre and the ferry to Portsmouth. In the BLOG section of the website there is a short video of me dancing on the beach which has been called the Deauville Dance! I love to engage with people who stop to look at my art and talk to me and a group of school children approached, while their teacher explained how I was using pencil and watercolours!
A man with a gallery in Paris also stopped by to marvel at the colours and he said I was a very good colouriste!
People often talk about use of colour above everything else.
I sat on the ancient stone steps of the old Bassin in Honfleur, which is a marina surrounded by amazing bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, old timbered churches and I painted the Quay with its colourful parasols and tall thin houses. The old wooden church of Saint Catherine is 14th Century and there are quaint fisherman's cottages.
This watercolour is a continuation of the Quai St Catherine to include the Lieutenance building, which is a former customs house and now a focal point of the Bassin area.
In 2016 I visited the ruins of Ancient Messini on the Peloponnese peninsula which was founded in 369BC. It is an ancient site sprawling over a hillside, which still has an amazing large amphitheatre with pillars still standing.
In January 2016 I visited the Canary Islands for the first time and stayed on the volcanic island of Lanzarote at Playa Blanca. The hardened black lava is scattered all over the island and is used as a building material in walls and paths. There is a coastal footpath which runs for miles, I guess all around the island, and visitors use this footpath for daily exercise, walking along by the sea, taking in the fresh Atlantic air! I painted a small section of this footpath at Playa Blanca, and have included elements such as the sea, the boat to Fuerte Ventura, the palm trees, the plants and cacti, and the town of Playa Blanca itself.
I think it is a fun painting full of life and sea breeze.
I found a wonderful bar just near my hotel, on the footpath, where I painted most days and used as my outdoor studio. The waiters kept an eye on progress and kept me supplied with drinks. One day a Pina Colada came dripping with
fruit, tinsel, tassles and the most enormous straw I'd ever seen!
During my stay at Playa Blanca I visited the Rubicon Marina where there is a lovely weekly market. Rubicon comes from the latin forred, and there is a larger mountain or dormant volcano in this area called Rubicon, so a lot of places are named after it. I painted the market, the marina, the boats and some of the buildings and shops. I do enjoy talking to passers by when they stop to talk and look at my work.
In February 2017 I visited my second Canary Island, Tenerife! I painted the Hotel grounds with the swimming pool area in the foreground, palm trees and cacti and red mountains in the background. The trip was a bit of a pilgrimage as my Father loved Tenerife, especially the volcano in the centre of the island called Mount Teide. Teide is 3,718 metres (12,198 ft) at the summit and is the highest point in Spain, and the highest point above sea level in all of the Atlantic Islands!
As you fly in you can see the summit of Teide above the cloud line. Teide is an active volcano and last erupted in 1909. I went on a trip to visit Teide and the journey takes you through a vast flat caldera where Planet of the Apes was
I went up on the cable car which takes you up the last section almost to the summit, and there is snow up at the top and its chilly and windy!
You get an amazing view of the caldera and a real feel for volcanic activity. One day I may do a painting of Teide!
In September 2016 I visited my friend Andrew in Geneva and took the opportunity to do some painting of the City. I sat beside Lake Geneva, known locally as Lac Leman, and watched the amazing bird life– there were so many swans, coots and seabirds.
I observed how swans rest on the water with one webbed foot folded behind it on its wing, which I had not noticed before. I did some lovely drawings of the swans - look out for these in the gallery pages. I also did a large painting of the lake with the very famous Jet d'Eau which is a large fountain and one of Geneva's most famous landmarks. In 1886 the fountain was built to control and release the excess pressure of a hydraulic plant. It beca me a symbol of the city and was relocated to the centre of the Lake. Its strong engine pumps 500 litres of water per second to a height of 140 metres. You can stand underneath it on a walkway and get very wet! (I didn't try that!) One day I could not see the Jet d'Eau and then learned that in strong wind the fountain is switched off .
I love to paint parasols and cafes, and I love to sit in cafes and paint! I seem to have a parasol theme developing, as there are many parasols in my Honfleur and Deauville paintings. I like to listen to the conversations going on around me as I am absorbed in my art, and I like to talk to passers by who stop to look. I sat in the charming historic Bourg- de-four Square which is Geneva's oldest square, is a celebrated place for shopping and dining, and is a great place to sit and people watch.
There is a lovely stone carved fountain, and the area is quite hilly, and a short climb up to the Cathedral of St Pierre with its pointed spires. I did a painting of people enjoying the café in the evening sun, and I even sat and had a conversation with one of the men in the painting– the man in the yellow shirt, bottom right – after I had drawn him. I must contact him and ask him if he'd like to buy a print!
While on my trip to Switzerland I visited Lausanne, because my parents honeymooned there and it sounds romantic! I walked up and up to the top of the city and sat in a café and painted the Cathedral with its coloured spires. Construction of the Cathedral begain as early as 1170. It has a beautiful rose window. The Cathedral also has a Great Organ, which is unique in the world because it contains all four organ styles, classical, French symphony, baroque and German romantique.
I love colour, nature, animals, figure and portrait drawing, flowing lines and a lot of my artwork comes from my imagination and intuition. Paintings include Barrier Reef Colourful Fish inspired by my visit to the Australian Great Barrier Reef in 1990.
Magical River Tigers is inspired by my visits to the Malaysian Jungles when I lived there as a young girl. I love Owls and am currently painting Owl Moon River a blue owl sitting in an oak tree, above a river glistening in by the light of a full moon.
The Curious Koi Quartet is colourful Koi Carp in a lillypond, painted in Messini in Greece.
Field of Wild Flowers and Poppy Field are inspired by my love of flowers, grasses and wild meadows.
Pool Pedicure is a study of my foot in a swimming pool in Turkey!
Christmas Eve Cat Attack was designed as my 2016 Christmas Card and is inspired by the fact that cats love
boxes! These mischievous cats are opening presents under the tree on Christmas eve so they can curl up inside the boxes! I will create a new animal card for each Christma s and create sets of greetings cards for sale.
My spiritual side is planning a set of 7 Chakra paintings. Each painting will focus on one of the 7 main chakras, or energy centres of the body, and will be predominantly the colour of the associated chakra: red, orange, yellow, green/pink, blue, purple, white/gold.
Look out for these!

One man's trash…
My wife and I spend summers at our home in Wellfleet, Mass. At the far end of the outer cape, the village of Wellfleet spans a land-spit barely three miles wide. It sits between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean; freshwater ponds lie between. The vegetation is salt-laved: scrub oak and pine, cranberry, bayberry, and poison ivy in sand. The hills are low, the dunes high.
The Cape Cod National Sea Shore has protected much of the area, but all remains at risk. The roads are clogged with traffic, the aquifer diminishes, and the cliffs erode. In this fragile ecosystem, the issue of garbage disposal is of major consequence, and what used to be the "town dump" is now an elaborate facility for which one pays an annual fee, and to which I make a pilgrimage each week.
It's no casual procedure. Most of us have long since accepted the concept of recycling and that it makes sense to reduce the amount of waste we as consumers produce. Increasingly, we divide what can be salvaged from what we consign to a landfill; we separate glass from newspaper from plastic and so on.
But the Wellfleet Transfer Center and Recycling Station carries this practice to extremes, and to pass through its portals — a gate unlocked at posted hours, a long drive up a hill with a guardhouse at its summit, inspection by a quasi-military sentry — is to relinquish choice.
A portable radio blares; the compacting processors hum. There are great green bins with labels — Newspaper and Cardboard, Plastic and Tin — that will be compacted on site. There are tables for empty bottles and jam jars and clear and colored glass containers, as well as buckets where you leave the caps and corks. There is a table for used light bulbs and one for worn-out batteries. There are men who supervise this process of distribution and tell you what you've done wrong.
The way of waste
Wearing yellow armbands and green vests, these men monitor particular items for specialized disposal, pointing to the further reaches of the site. There are places where oyster shells get dropped; spaces for yard waste and Styrofoam and tree stumps; and locales for metal, glass, and electronic devices. A TV set or broken microwave will cost $10 to dispose of at a designated shed.
There's a "Swap Shop" — open every other afternoon, from 2-5 p.m. — where you can deposit books, old CDs, or furniture that someone else might welcome. Of course you are encouraged to forage for leavings you then carry home. But these items must pass the hard muster of the sentinel within.
Finally, there is a reeking pair of 40-foot-long sunken metal containers where you throw your trash. This must be bagged in special purple plastic sacks (of various sizes and available for purchase in the Wellfleet Market). And when the receptacles are filled to capacity, they get forklifted onto 16-wheelers and trundled off the cape.
Grizzled locals in their pick-up trucks will sometimes violate protocol and dare to throw a cardboard box or mattress over the protective fence and down into the bins. But part-time residents — this one, at any rate — tend to follow orders. Indeed, I take a kind of pride when watchmen nod in approval at how well I've separated the plastic bottles for recycling from those that can be returned for deposit, how thoroughly I've rinsed a jar of marmalade or a tin can of beans. . .
Behind the Beautiful Forevers
Katharine Boo, in her 2012 Pulitzer Prize-winning account, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, details, as her subtitle suggests, "Life, death, and hope in a Mumbai undercity." There she describes the camaraderie and competition of a group of dump-dwellers who forage for survival.
In our prosperous nation, the stakes are less high — but there's still a cadre of those who pick over what others discard and, as the old song puts it, "get some cash for your trash." These "regulars" sip cans of soda and complain about the weather and traffic and rehearse the Wellfleet news. I sidle up and grin at them, making what I think of as informed remarks about the town council or the run of striped bass and bluefish — remarks which are, invariably, greeted by affable, absolute silence. They stare and turn away.
Driving down the hill away from the landfill, windows shut against the stench of it, I congratulate myself on having completed my task. I am, after all, helping to organize the planet. "The order of ordure" — I try out a phrase — "the composition of compost, the transfer of trash, the way of waste." There's something deeply gratifying about such distribution. Every item has its place and all can be redeemed.
This is absurd, of course. We make small difference here. Rumor has it that the 16-wheelers hauling garbage lump everything together after our dutiful sorting. And day by week by month the waste accumulates again. But as the air clears and I open the car windows, I'm seized by the conviction that what I've done is similar to what I also do each day: distribute words on a page.
Writers attempt to make sense — phrase by sentence by paragraph by chapter — of the arrangement of language. We try to fashion order out of jumbled inexactness. An adjective here, a pair of adverbs there, a dangling participle or inexact parallel clause — all these must be pruned in the interest of clarity. Each overlong sentence can be compacted and by editing reduced.
"Since feeling is first," wrote E.E. Cummings, "who pays any attention to the syntax of things?" But the syntax of things was his subject ("will never wholly kiss you," as the next phrase in his poem proclaims) and we're told to pay attention nonetheless.
When I enter that guarded compound — the Wellfleet Transfer Station and Recycling Center — I'm subject to inspection as well as introspection. When I leave, I leave with a sentence both processed and complete. And can start piling trash for the next.

Nothing gets us more excited over here at the Woman Getting Married office than a gorgeous wedding cake. A cake that's almost (almost!) too pretty to eat is like a combination of EVERYTHING we love about weddings. From the color to the design and of course the filling, wedding cakes have to be one of our favorite things when it comes to planning the big day. And while we've seen so many fun wedding cake trends the past few years, this year is definitely turning out to be one of the best yet.
We spoke with Toni Roberts, the genius Pastry Chef from one of our fave Chicago hotels, theWit, known for her amazing chocolate sculptures and of course, gorgeous wedding cakes, about what she thinks are the BIGGEST wedding cake trends emerging this year. Read her insights, below!
1. Geological Elements
"Two big trends are geodes and marbleized fondant. The geodes can be a big statement or just a small detail, and are a great way to incorporate the wedding colors. Marbleization can run the gamut of very natural to color mixes with metallic detailing."
2. Metals
"The glittery gold of the last few years is moving towards mixed metals: copper, bronze, brass, rose gold, and silver. Hand painted accents and leafing are popular."
3. Rustic Gets an Update
"The rustic look is taking a more modern approach with linear designs and patterns. Less piling on of flowers and more structured arranging. Naked cakes are moving towards what is being referred to as 'semi-naked' with just glimpses of the cake peeking through the frosting."

4. Fruit Fillings
"Local and seasonal are always the way to go. Berries in the summer; peaches, plums and pears late summer; pumpkin and apples in the fall; citrus in the winter; cherries and rhubarb in the spring and early summer. The fruits can be prepared as jams, curds, and just fresh. I always like a tropical filling with coconut and rum, it really adds some fun to the party!"
5. Interactive Desserts
"We do a 'By the Fireside" station where guests can toast their own s'mores over mini fires. This is always a hit! Also, we offer doughnut towers that are a very striking addition to the dessert table or the farewell brunch."
6. Budget-Conscious Accents
"Custom wedding cake toppers from sites like Etsy are always fun to see and are reasonably priced. Also, gold and silver leaf can be expensive, but a little goes a long way in making an effect."
