INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A cremation can cost in the hundreds or thousands of dollars depending on the choices that you make. You will want to decide whether or not to have a viewing of your body beforehand and what type of ceremony to have for the interment process. Do you want your cremated remains to be buried, kept in an urn, or scattered? Direct cremation refers to the process of cremating the body without a viewing or gathering beforehand. If you would like a viewing beforehand, you may want to look into the option of renting a casket for your body. If you opt for a cremation your funeral director will provide a container that will hold the body secure during the cremation process itself. You will want to designate a container to hold your ashes post-cremation. You can shop around or use a family item as an urn. Or, you can look for another container or box that suits your personality. The container itself can be placed in a cemetery or taken home by a relative or someone else of your choice. Many people like the idea of having their ashes scattered but you will want to leave very specific instructions behind discussing how to go about it. You will want to receive advance permission to have your ashes scattered on private or government-owned property. You will also want to make sure that this is your final choice as it is irrevocable once completed. Some cemeteries set aside a particular area where mourners can scatter ashes as they so choose. Ask the funeral directors that you meet with if they provide such a service. Note that if you decide to scatter ashes in the ocean you must be a minimum of three nautical miles offshore. For more information contact your funeral director or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

SUMMARY: Know your cremation options. Select an urn. Investigate regulations regarding the scattering of ashes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The most important element of a great outfit is fit. If it doesn't fit you, it won't look good, no matter how nice it is. Always buy clothes that fit you in the shoulders and waist, and has sleeves and legs that are the right height for you. Don't worry if you're having trouble finding something perfect--you can have most clothes altered! If you're going for black tie, you'll need your very best clothes. Men should wear a black tuxedo with a white shirt--no ruffles, brightly-colored jackets, or flashy bow ties. You can wear a cummerbund in a darker, discreet color like burgundy, navy blue, or forest green. You can rent a tuxedo at any formalwear store. There is also a much more formal dress code called white tie, but it's unlikely you'll ever see it at a casino. Formal and semiformal outfits don't need to be as fancy as black-tie ones, but you should still make sure you look nice. Men should wear suits with ties. For semiformal, you can skip the tie, but be sure to wear a dress shirt and a blazer. If you want to wear dressy-casual or casual chic (they mean the same thing), you can be a little less formal. Men can wear khakis and dress shirts or even jeans with a sportcoat. A good guideline is to think of something you would wear to a beach wedding, someone else's graduation, or a nice lunch outing. You will need to wear black dress shoes for formal and black-tie casinos, but you can wear other colors for semiformal and dressy-casual places. Your shoes should match the main color of your suit--black shoes for a black suit, brown for a brown suit, etc. Sneakers and flip-flops will almost never be appropriate for any casino. The only exceptions would be gaming bars and possibly beachfront casinos. Menswear doesn't accessorize much, but the casino is a great place to try something a little out of the ordinary for you. Unless the casino has a very strict black tie dress code, you can wear jewel cufflinks, bright ties, and even bolo ties and cowboy hats to most casinos. It's always a good idea to have a backup just in case. In the time leading up to your casino outing, you might lose or damage your clothes, go through a weight change, or simply just change your mind. Keep a backup outfit handy, or at least know where you can get a quick replacement.

SUMMARY: Look for fitted clothes. Dress for a black-tie night out. Choose a formal or semiformal suit. Wear slacks and a dress shirt for dressy-casual casinos. Pick shoes that match the formality your outfit. Choose accessories that complement your clothes. Keep a backup outfit in mind.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a sifter, sift 300 grams (10 ounces) of icing sugar into a large bowl. This is to break apart any chunks that might have formed in the container, and prevent the icing from getting clumpy when you add water to it. You will need to dissolve your icing sugar with some water so that you can spread it over the fairy cakes. Start by adding two tablespoons of water and mixing it quickly with a fork. You want to end up with a somewhat runny consistency so that you can drizzle it over the fairy cakes. Add more water to make the icing thinner, and more icing sugar to make it thicker. You can make the icing flavoured by adding some lemon juice. Use one part lemon juice and one part water. If the icing becomes too thin, then add more of the sugar. You can leave the white icing as it is, or you can add colour to it to match the theme of your party. Add a few drops of food colouring to the icing and stir. For darker icing, use more food colouring. If the icing becomes too thin, then add a little bit more of the sugar.

SUMMARY:
Sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Add two to three tablespoons of warm water. Consider adding some flavouring. Consider adding some colouring.
