[If cakes are your thing, review our chapter on the best wedding cakes, best birthday cakes and best wedding cake designer in the USA.]

August 2008 - Sunglasses Ban Begins in USA Bank - New security policies have started in two Mississippi banks. Customers entering the banks are now banned from wearing hats, hoods and sunglasses when entering these banks. This is a policy that has been brewing worldwide over the past few years as more and more banks are robbed by people wearing the targeted combination of both hats and sunglasses. We expect more and more banks to institute the same policies in the months to come. No more cheap sunglasses for them!

August 2008 - The Wizard of Oz opened at London's Royal Festival Hall in late July 2008. The lead DOROTHY will step out in footwear studded with red Swarovski crystals. Both Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers will be all done up in Swarovski Siam crystals and Glinda, the Good Witch of the East, will be adorned in among other colors, "crystal" color Swarovskis.
