Spoiler alert! The following reveals crucial plot points from Restrained Under His Duty.
The multimillionaire owner of a chain of successful Irish pubs, Gabe O'Keefe loves being in the spotlight almost as much as he loves women. But when all his secrets are exposed in a shameless tabloid, his glistening reputation takes a hit. What hurts most is learning who sold him out: sweet and sensual McKenna Archer, his own employee. Gabe thought he could trust her. But now he's got bigger problems than keeping his hands off McKenna.
After putting a difficult past behind her, McKenna would never betray Gabe. But she knows someone who would: her brother, a compulsive gambler who owes money all over town. To make things right, McKenna will have to set aside her feelings for her boss. Easier said than done. Gabe oozes pure temptation. But when they team up, McKenna sees that he isn't the manwhore she always thought. He's strong. He's real. And the heat between them is the only thing that makes sense anymore.

About the Author
Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1
Ladies, whips and chains better be your thing if Gabe O'Keefe is your current crush. Our sources tell us that not only is he a big player at Afterglow—he's the sex club's owner!
Years I'd spent ensuring my sex life stayed out of the tabloids. I'd been careful, cautious, and inconspicuous. Now not only is my sex life detailed in the grocery store tabloid Gotcha! but the world also knows that I own a sex club.
The tabloid's sudden interest in me had been a long time coming. It all began with an article in Gotcha! a little over a month ago, and as each successive week ticked by, tabloid reporter Penelope Burke did her best to rip apart the lives of my longtime friends. First, the magazine attacked my Harvard roommate, billionaire real estate mogul Micah Holt, printing stories that held a ring of truth to them. Next, the magazine focused on business-savvy billionaire Darius Bennett and printed stories detailing private conversations we'd had at my bar, O'Keefe's Pub. That's when we realized that someone had planted a recording device in the one place we'd thought we were safe. But that wasn't the end of our trouble with the tabloid. In fact, things only got worse.
When Gotcha! turned the spotlight onto Ryder Blackwood, owner of Blackwood Security, a private security detail company, he dug deep into who could be our mole. When he discovered the truth, it was even worse than anyone had imagined. What we learned was that the governor of California, Tobias Harrington, was trying to bury—literally—one of Ryder's clients, Senator Gary Winters. Tobias was using the bugs in my pub to get intel from Ryder's private conversations. But the greedy a-holes who planted those bugs weren't only taking money from the governor. They were also selling the things they'd heard on the recordings to a trash magazine. And the person whose betrayal ran that deep is the only person on my mind today.
I grit my teeth against the rage burning inside and shift the gears of my MV Agusta F4 sports bike, the engine roaring beneath me; the power is a much-needed comfort as the control I've kept on my life spins away from me. Determined to get that control back, I tear through the streets of San Francisco, weaving my bike in and out of traffic. Last night I slept a total of two hours, and this morning I'd spent hours at the gym, trying to piece together my next steps.
An hour ago, on this gloomy Friday morning, a plan solidified.
I breeze through the T-intersection, and then I stop at the curb in front of the original location of what is now my chain of Irish pubs across North America. Pushing out the kickstand of my bike, I slide my leg over the seat as I remove my helmet. To the right is an alleyway that leads to the back lot where my Audi is parked, and where there are stairs that lead to my apartment above the pub. There's a lot on my mind as I walk around my bike and then enter my pub.
The most important thought is finally putting this tabloid shitshow behind me and moving on with life. Usually, I don't mind a little attention. I enjoy the way women openly gawk at me. What I don't like is people knowing about my private life and ripping it apart as if it's something to (a) talk about around the water cooler and (b) laugh at. Some things are private, and who I screw and how I screw them are most definitely in that category.
The pub is empty as the door shuts behind me, not that I'm surprised. It's ten o'clock in the morning, and we don't open for another two hours. Wood-paneled walls surround me, with the bar off to the right and tables scattered throughout. There's a good reason I'm here today, and that reason is standing behind the bar in a pair of skinny jeans and a tight black T-shirt with O'Keefe's burgundy Celtic knot logo across her great pair of boobs.
McKenna Archer.
My body reacts instantly to her nearness, swelling my dick and kicking up my heart rate. She's everything I've ever wanted in a woman and more. She's beyond beautiful, with long blond hair, captivating amber eyes, and she's got just the right amount of curves to remind me how much I hunger for her. Though if she just had her looks I could have easily walked away from her, but she's so much more than a pretty face. She's clever and witty and strong when she needs to be, but she's soft the rest of the time, making me yearn to protect her.
For the entire year that she's worked for me, I've battled against breaking my one rule: Don't date employees. In fact, the push-and-pull game between us has built so heavily over the past three months that, before this tabloid shit happened, I was days away from helping her find employment elsewhere so we could finally date. Because if I'm sure about anything in my life, it's how I feel about this woman before me.

Week 12 marks the calendar point for 1/3 of the school year! By the end of this week, I will have taken a black and white photo of each of our 600 students. These will be posted on the wall outside the library — just in time for Parent/Teacher Conferences. This is a very personal project for me — one that requires me to pause for 2-3 seconds with each child, spend additional minutes uploading, editing and naming, developing and posting to the board. This is one of the ways that I learn the characteristics of each child's beautiful face, their first & last name….and current teacher. The video above highlights all of our kindergarteners!
The 12 week of school is the perfect time for us to pull together our data to show growth in academics and social, emotional learning. As I type out this blog post, I have been fielding questions from teachers about the conference schedule, curriculum data and student support needs — and it's SATURDAY EVENING.
The teachers are Georgetown are exceptional in every way. They plan lessons academics and social skills that are highly organized, detailed, goal focused and measurable. In addition, they interact with their students (your children) as if they were their own children. They are child focused and present all day and prepare their lessons, analyze data and write reports and parent communication at home on the week nights and weekends. These professionals also spend hundreds of dollars of their own money each year on their classrooms.
Many of you aware that media coverage of educators is not kind — educators blamed for nearly every social flaw. We feel grateful to work in a district where bonds are supported (THANK YOU) with parents that support schools.
As proud as I am of them for going above and beyond with time, resources and care I also worry deeply about burn out. The only way to prevent this from taking a toll is through appreciation of their work and care for your children. I have been in this profession for more than 30 years and I have never worked with such a self-less team. We are NOT PERFECT. We are human and each of us has used the wrong word choice when sending an email or missed returning a voicemail in a timely manner. And, when this happens we remind one another to own and we also encourage us to move on — allowing room for grace. In addition, I encourage teachers to step away and let go and take care of THEMSELVES.
When you meet with your child's teachers at next weeks conferences, be aware that all the information that is shared with you (student work samples, specific details notes about growth, and report card data and comments), this is all compiled after hours. I ask that you keep all of this in mind during conferences and throughout the year. Any expression of gratitude, goes a long way with people who are in this profession because they care about raising your children to be successful adults.
As I close, I need you to know how much I appreciate you and your parent involvement at Georgetown. As I rush from one spot to the next during the day, I am touched by the number of parents who are supporting our learners each day. We have a very special school family.
According to the weather forecast, next week will be cold and snowy! If time allows, write your child's name inside their jackets and snow pants!
Mrs. Reagan
PS This blog post was inspired by a friend and parent… thank you, D.G.!

Although most people think that taking a picture is just as simple as pointing and shooting, there really is an art form to it. Typically, your photos never look quite as good as you imagined they would. However, once you learn the proper techniques, it really is simple to take great pictures.
Move closer to the object of your picture, and you will get a better shot. Getting close allows you to avoid distracting backgrounds, and nicely frame your subject. It will also help you notice facial expressions, which are important factors for all portrait photographers. If your subject is positioned too far away, it becomes more difficult to capture the minor details.
Keep your technique simple to get the best pictures. More often than not, you can capture wonderful images without messing with different settings.
It is a good idea to look at what other photographers do in order to get inspiration. By studying the images taken by other photographers, you will recall that the perfect shot can be captured through a vast number of methods and techniques.
When it comes to photography, framing is key. Use your zoom feature to take away objects that might draw attention where you do not want it. This prevents clutter in your pictures, and multiple unwanted, unsightly focal points.
Try to put your models at ease as much as you can, particularly if you are not acquainted with them. You may unknowingly intimidate your subject, potentially affecting the outcome of your photographs. It's important to be friendly, talk to them lightheartedly, and always ask for their permission before you snap away. Make people understand photography is an art rather than an invasion of their privacy.
There is no one secret or silver bullet towards becoming a great photographer. Get more experience by continuing to take pictures. Digital cameras give you the ease of not having to develop or keep all your photographs. You want to constantly experiment with new subjects and techniques, then judge and compare the results to see what worked best.
In order to take proper indoor photos under fluorescent light, you should tweak your white balance settings. Fluorescent light gives a cold rather than a warm effect. This means you will need to adjust your settings to increase red and decrease blue tones.
Master photographers agree, less IS more. Avoid cluttering the composition of your shots with unnecessary elements. Adopting a simple, minimalistic style can help you to identify the heart of a shot.
When you go travelling, look around for new ideas on all the different things you can shoot. Peruse the racks holding postcards; this will give you an immediate insight as to what the main features of a city are. Study the postcards, taking note of the subject matter and the way the photographer shot the pictures to take advantage of some specific qualities of the subject, then use these techniques when taking your own photos.
There may have been many instances where you had been unhappy with the outcome of your pictures. However, if you apply the tips mentioned here, you will definitely see some improvements that will continue as you take more photos. Experiment with different angles to produce an artistic photograph taken from a unique perspective.…

For 43 years, she was known simply as Jane Doe #40.
A bleak, impersonal moniker utterly lacking in humanity.
But no more.
On Thursday, San Francisco homicide detectives announced they have finally identified Judy Gifford who was murdered in 1976.
The New Jersey girl was just 14 and thousands of miles from home.
According to cops, on Oct. 1, 1976, a dog walker discovered her body after spotting a hand protruding from the sand at Lake Merced in San Francisco.
Detectives believed the victim was a young Asian female who carried distinctive jewelry.
It was later determined the teen vanished in Frisco around the same time as the 1976 murder.
"(Gifford's siblings) always knew they had a sister," said Det. Jeffrey Greco, of the New Jersey State Police. "They never knew what happened to her."
Investigators in New Jersey worked with their colleagues on the west coast and collected DNA from the victim's aunt, Ogee Gifford. The aunt also had a photo that helped break the case open.
"The necklace she was wearing at the time had an oval shape," Greco said. "It was an owl locket type thing and that was found on the body out in San Francisco when they recovered her. And it was on the picture, the 8th Grade picture that Ogee had given us."
Now, cops are determined to catch her killer.
Ogee Gifford, now 86, told KPIX she never changed her phone number in the faint hope her lost niece would call.
"I always wondered what happened to her. My mind is finally at peace. God rest her soul," she said.
Anyone with information regarding the disappearance or death of Judy Gifford is asked to call the SFPD tip line at 1-415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD. Tipsters can remain anonymous.

Another Muslim Group Tackles MURIC, Supports Falz
An Islamic group called 'Muslim Against Terror' has come out to defend Falz on the controversial issue that has seen a group called, Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) threaten to sue him if he does not pull down the aforementioned video.
"In clear contradiction to what MURIC's Professor Ishaq Akintola claimed, Islam or Muslim was NEVER mentioned in the video and the veil is not owned by Islam but worn by anyone who so feels, hopefully to the pleasure of Muslims and worn by nuns and sometimes forcibly doused by terrorists on their captors as happened in the Chibok case. Where did Ishaq see Islam or Muslim in this video?
The group urged MURIC to focus on the pressing societal issues raised in the video. In their words;
"As regards truths of value in the video, there were very many that seemed not to be digested by Professor Ishaq, including that the people are extremely poor, medical facilities are poor, that we operate a predatory neocolonial-capitalist system fueled on fraud and exploitation, bedeviled with institutionalized corruption, that criminal cases are settled in police stations and not courts, police station closing by six, no electricity, youth work multiple jobs and yet are called lazy by the president."

Review on SocialMonkee Backlinking SolutionWhy Backlinking Is Important And How SocialMonkee Will Help
Some five years ago, on another site, I uploaded a college paper onto a writing site. The topic wasn't something that most people would search for. However, it has had a steady stream of topic on a daily basis for five years. Why? Quite a few people backlinked it, and consequently, has has become number one on that topic in google. Backlinks are referrals from other websites to your work. The more backlinks you have, the more traffic comes to your site. One other important thing is that when Google sees all these backlinks to your work, it presumes it's a good piece, so it is even more likely to give you a higher, ergo, front page ranking. Therefore, you want as many backlinks as possible. Socialmonkee will give you those backlinks.
Too Much Time Backlinking Manually
I've spent the past two months rejecting the concept of manually going to all the social networking and blogging sites in order to backlink to HubPages. It was too time consuming and I just didn't want to be a member of that many websites.The solution has just arrived. I joined Social Monkee. They launched a week ago. I went to the Warriors Forum (of which I'm a member) and there he was on the Warriors Forum, but more about 25 free backlinks and SocialMonkee
Colin Klinkert Invents SocialMonkee - Backlinking Paradise
Colin Klinkert, the developer of SocialMonkee, said that the following on the Warrior Forum (yes, I'm a member, and you should be as well). "The Links come from social bookmarking sites that we own and control. We purchased one hundred domains and installed one hundred social bookmarking sites on one unique ips, all c-class unique, most of them, at the moment, are even A and B class unique, on serves around the world. We also make all links submitted do-follow backlinks. It's also very fast and free."

SocialMonkee Is Faster With Firefox
It works best on Firefox. You sign up and can submit one URL a day and that one URL a day will give you twenty five backlinks to your article. What is also unique is that in submitting the URL, you give your article three different names and give three different summaries of what the article is about. The logarithm in SocialMonkee then mixes and matcees them so that there is a variety of links by different names. This is a very useful tool.
Building backlinks gets you a higher ranking with search engines which means you have a better chance of getting to the first page. While a software package like Market Samurai has a ping tool that allows you to find likely sites that will provide a backlink for you, you do have to be in touch with the owner of the website. Again, this can be time consuming. As I'm sure you, like me, want to get the technicalities out of the way fast, and just want to focus on getting more and more money making copy on the web, this is a major breakthrough.
SocialMonkee Only Has 2 levels Of Membership
There are two levels of membership. The one I've been telling you about is free. However, for a one time payment of $47, you can get premium membership which allows you submit a URL three times a day and you get one hundred backlinks for each of them. That works out to about 2,100 backlinks a week or 9,000 per month. That's a lot of new traffic to your website. If you go for the premium account, you also get link reports and RSS feeds. Those are really useful to have if you are thinking of making good money on the net. Still, even the freebie is better than anything else!
Be One of the First to Join SocialMonkee
SocialMonkee was launched last week. As with anything, if you get in first, it works best. So, sign up now! It only takes a few minutes. You can use Firefox or other web browser.

Getting Quality Readers to Your Blogs and Affliate Marketing Sites
Once you write something, you need to market it. Backlinks are very important because, firstly, they allow the crawler to find your site if it's a dofollow link (a nofollow link will stop the crawler from following the link) and, secondly, Google and other search engines give a higher rank to those sites and articles which have dofollow links. The more backlinks you have, the more people read your work, and, of course, that means you generate a higher income.

Wigan is one of 10 local authorities in Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership. Local integration is taking place in the context of the locality plan 'Further, Faster' and 'The Deal 2030', Wigan's ambitious plan for the borough.
The health and wellbeing board (HWB) is an influential part of the system in which leaders set the strategic framework for health, care and wellbeing, agree population health outcomes, oversee progress on major developments and keep a focus on the delivery of the locality plan.
Under the direction of the HWB, significant transformation has taken place in commissioning and provision. Wigan is taking its joint commissioning arrangements to a new level by bringing together health and care budgets in a Section 75 pooled and aligned budget arrangement, extended to housing and leisure. This effectively creates a single public sector purse for the borough and the potential for more efficient use of resources. It is led by an integrated commissioning committee, which has political and clinical leadership.
"Wigan Health and Wellbeing Board is supporting the local health and social care system to develop integrated, safe and high-quality services. We champion local services taking a holistic and asset-based approach to supporting residents, collectively tackling the wider determinants of health. Taking a combined approach, with a political and clinical lead as joint chairs, means that we are connected closely with the needs of our residents and patients, and can bring other politicians and clinicians from across the local NHS with us on our journey."
Dr Tim Dalton, Chair of NHS Wigan Borough Clinical Commissioning Group and Joint Chair of Wigan Health and Wellbeing Board
The Healthier Wigan Partnership Alliance was established in 2018. This is a care organisation made up of commissioners and providers – the clinical commissioning group, the council, NHS providers, GP practices and wider partners – charged with transforming delivery of the full range of health, care and wellbeing services.
Healthier Wigan has developed a place-based operating model across seven 'service delivery footprints' of 30-50,000 population, where staff work as one team with the aim of joining up services around people and the places they live. This involves a new way of working, in line with the Wigan Deal, where staff identify the strengths and assets of local people and their communities. 'Our Deal for a Healthier Wigan' is an immersive training programme for health and care staff to adopt asset-based approach within their roles.
Primary care services and schools are the anchor points within the service delivery footprints, which continue to develop, with the alignment of community mental health and children's services.
The HWB oversees a comprehensive approach to improving population health by tackling the wider determinants. It has seen positive improvements in outcomes, including the number of adults physically active, smoking rates, hospital stays for alcohol-related harm, teenage pregnancy rates, and early deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease and cancers.
Dr Kate Ardern, Director Public Health
Rebecca Murphy, Healthier Wigan Partnership Director

For many of us born and bred Perth locals, our childhood summers weren't complete without at least one trip to Rottnest Island or Rotto as it's fondly known – just shy of 20km off the coast of Fremantle. The island boasts jaw-dropping azure ocean, prolific marine life, roads and paths sprinkled with push bikes (aside from service vehicles, there are no cars on Rotto) and Quokkas – dubbed the 'happiest animal in the world' and now the subject of the renowned #quokkaselfie.
As soon as you step off the ferry you're on 'Rotto time' with sunset as the only cue for dinner time. You end up playing cricket with a neighbouring family whose kids end up joining your own 'bike squad', and fresh ocean breeze fresh hits you at every angle. It. Is. Bliss. These nostalgic Rottnest memories made us all the more excited to get a sneak peak at the island's newest digs – Discovery Rottnest, which is getting ready to pave the way for an abundance of new memories for island-goers.
The $20 million dollar resort is the first of its kind on the island – boasting 83 eco-glamping tents dotted between shady Tuart trees on the lead up to Pinky's Beach. After a six year build, owners the Baileys Group and Discovery Holiday Parks have done an exceptional job in producing a resort that caters for, well…everyone. Ensuites and private decks are standard inclusions, and aside from the base option tents (ideal for overnighters or for those who prefer to dine out), all tents have their own kitchenette – especially useful for families. The Deluxe 'Dune' Tents are the pinnacle, featuring sweeping coastal views and traditional 'tent canvas' exteriors juxtaposed by lush bedlinen and lavish brass tapware in minimalist hotel-style bathrooms.
The icing on the cake is undeniably Pinky's Beach Club, which along with an impressive range of drinks and dining choices, features gobsmacking views of Pinky's Beach. Once opened it will be THE spot to watch the sunset. Guests and beachgoers alike can venture to Pinky's Beach Club but only those staying at the resort can access the impressive 30m pool, which will no doubt be hit when the afternoon sea breeze sets in.
Attention to detail hasn't gone astray – the outdoor dining area is expertly positioned to showcase the iconic lighthouse, and walking paths provide direct access to Pinky's Beach and The Basin. BBQs are scattered throughout the resort, with BBQ packs and salads available at the beach club but for nights when it's 'tools down' in the kitchen, the onsite restaurant menu is flavour-packed (with meals to appease the kids!).
After not having been to Rottnest for over 5 years, the childhood memories came flooding back in a heartbeat as soon as we stepped onto the jetty, and we're surely not the only ones eager to make many new memories at Discovery Rottnest.

Discovery Rottnest will open on March 1.
Rates start from $119 (off peak) for a standard tent, and bookings can be made here.

I'm wondering what my options might be for entering a range of time into a single field? I.E. If someone doesn't know an exact time that something happened, then I need them to be able to enter it as a range of dateTime.
I've thought up some creative ways using the Collate Field function, but I'm hoping there is something more elegant out there.

Truck Accidents
Have You Been Involved In A Crash With A Semitruck? Call 203-433-5129.
Big trucks can cause serious damage and injuries when involved in an accident because of their size and the speed they could be traveling at. Many people who have been involved in a truck accident deal with other issues due to the complicated insurance coverages that are often involved. A Connecticut personal injury lawyer can help you wade through the red tape and advocate for you so you can get the compensation you deserve. At TJC • ESQ, we can provide you with the state-of-the-art technology and personalized legal strategies to help you through the process of fighting the insurance companies.
Have you been involved in an accident with a truck?
Don't wait to call us at 203-433-5129.
Contributing Factors To Many Accidents Involving Trucks
There are many things that contribute to truck accidents such as:
- A distracted truck operator
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- A defective truck, trailer or equipment
- Driving while fatigued
- Driving in bad weather
How Truck Accidents Can Differ From Auto Accidents
Many traffic and industrial regulations govern how truck drivers are required to operate and drive their trucks. If there are violations of these regulations, and there is an accident, the trucking company could be found liable for injuries or damages from the accident. There can also be complicated insurance coverages and laws that can create a tougher legal situation opposed to a car accident in Connecticut.

Hi Mark, Thanks for the tip, looks like the custom folder will do the magic then... I have not as yet installed v3.0.1 [as I am planning such next week] but is there some configuration settings that I have to do to instruct the system to make use of the custom folder. With best regards Fabian
Hi Chris, As you may recall, I have contributed to enhancing the themes with the likes of PrettyPhoto etc. Hence I was after porting the contribs for v3. I was rather lost seeing the new framework that totally defers from the v3Alpha1 ;) Regs Fab
osCommerce Online Merchant v3.0.1
proimage posted a topic in Templates and ImagesHas anyone started to look under the hood of v3.0.1. Just downloaded this version and I cannot as yet figure out where the default template folder is. Any help of what goes where, would be really appreciated. With best regards Fabian
Xcisco Sorry for the delay, but I have not received an email notification of your post. Check that your sts template calls the javascript and css files properly. Regs Fab
OSC3 prettyPhoto v1.1 [Full Package] Hi there, Just a small update on the v1.0. This version has a bug fix as to the image group id [Thanks to Blackwater] as well as the ability to load the original images from an different URL such a sub-domain, etc. [This comes in very useful fro those like me that are all out for site optimization and fast page download speeds] Enjoy
Blackwater, I have an idea to improve the contrib for better page loading speed, in that I am trying to mangle the code not to preload the additional images on the product_info page at all [since they are hidden anyway] but let prettyphoto do the call. Also it would be nice to add a clickable [click on product image to enlarge], underneath the product_info page main image. Any ideas, as I am overwhelmed with work to catch up [three months of such, heh]. You'll be credited in the upgrade ; Cheers Fab
Hi All, I welcome back myself after a longish break from this forum as I was very busy with a lot of study. [Crazy me I did two ICT degrees at the same go ;) ] but now I back on OSC3 track. Special thanks goes to Blackwater whom gave support to those that needed it, whilst I was busy racking my brains… The contribution is supposed to work out of the box, but will look into blackwater's code… as I haven't had the chance to do so… To many things to catch up with. For those interested in seeing a working live store of such contribution in effect, please go to my own website http://www.guns.com.mt Click on the product images, and there you will be presented with images that are over 2000 pixels wide. Whilst on the site, take note of the page loading speed. Cheers Fab
I have a V2 2.2.rc2a contrib that works just like it http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7195 Its slightly different though.... as it runs off additional images module. No need for that in OSC3 Cheers Fab
Contibution can be found here
OSC3 prettyPhoto Contribution
proimage posted a topic in Templates and ImagesHi This is the support thread for the OSC3 prettyPhoto v1. Hope you enjoy the power of this contribution that is bound to change the way OSC3 image display looks :rolleyes: Enjoy... Fabian
Its a database error, re install the DB and you will be fine. Check out that the sql has been sucessful. Cheers FAB
Well enough... As for a start this contrib, as most of the rest, if not all, is basis off a virgin install. I don't have time to play around doing the find this and that... it makes me dizzy to read one, let alone do one... From my experience with installing other contribs, it never works with a modified cart just the same. I mean what is the use of searching a string, db_call, etc. that has been modified already by another contrib... Your search would result negative. With a good comparing program you will install such contrib in a mere ten minutes and that's for noobs. If your cart is virgin, well just replace the files with the ones in this contrib. If your cart is already modified, you need to use your brains to see what goes where, be it that you are using a compare program or find this and that [A compare program will display the changes for easier reference and less brain power]. Use a good compare program as it will really help you with all the add-ons installation as it will highlight the changes that need to be applied. Linked here is a good program that will help you. BTW this is still version 1 let alone version 2 so get used to the compare program.
Hi JP, image quality goes by the standard 72dpi resolution. YOU CANNOT ALTER THAT!!!! i.e. 72 pixels per inch square. To increase image size you need to establish if you would like it to be 100px by 100px, etc. The size is established by first going to admin > configuration > images and change the sizes according to your likings. Then go to admin > config > additional images enable the auto create three image sets so that you can only upload one large image and the contribution will create a medium size and a thumbnail for you. Remember to think about image size ratios, i.e. if you have a large image of 400px by 400px, set the medium image 200px by 200px and the thumbnail 100px by 100px. If you have rectangle images, open the large image in photoshop and scale down the image and take note for the measurements so that you could input such values in the admin > config > images. You don't need photoshop any longer and don't even save the image scale down versions as the contrib does all by itself to speed you up. Cheers Fab
Check your admin install folder, its very strange its show Additional Images. Let me know

proimage posted a topic in Add-Ons DevelopmentHi All, I am working on the idea to have my store featuring a connect with facebook for people to log into my store using a facebook account, [just like the forum] Have been reading through the Facebook API docs and I am now trying to figure out what goes where on OSC rc2. I guess that such a contrib will be used by all OSC stores. Anyone interested in help out with the code. Cheers Fab

Dec. 12, 2017 – Jackson, WI – Students from Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School traveled by coach bus down to Chicago to spend an exciting day shopping.
The students were dropped off at the German Christmas market in downtown Chicago and given the whole day to shop along North Michigan Avenue at the boutiques and malls, explore Millennium Park, visit the Cloud Gate sculpture, and experience the German culture at the German Christmas market.
Warmer weather and only slight snow brought out the crowds, turning the Christmas market into a bustling mass of customers shopping, experiencing traditional foods, and downing warm beverages.
This trip was offered through the German Program as a way for the German students to experience the traditional German culture, but any student was welcome to come along.

Picture: Blur star caught up in hotel blaze BLUR rocker GRAHAM COXON had to flee his hotel on Monday (30Apr12) after a massive fire broke out...
British rockers Blur have reunited on stage for the first time in almost a decade - playing the first date of their comeback gigs at a tiny venue in Essex, England.
The Britpop pioneers announced their return to the music scene in December (08) after a six-year hiatus, planning a series of massive outdoor shows including a run at London's Hyde Park and a headline slot at England's legendary Glastonbury festival.
The band are warming up for their high profile concerts with a string of intimate gigs, and they made their return official by playing their first full show to thrilled fans in Colchester, England on Saturday night (13Jun09).
Blur returned to the site of their first ever public performance in 1988, a goods shed at the East Anglian Railway Museum, for the concert, which saw them run through a massive 28-song setlist.
The group will play four more warm-up gigs before they take their shows to larger audiences later this summer (09).

Nebraska produces about 1,740,000 acres of alfalfa annually. Corn or grain sorghum usually follows alfalfa in the crop rotation. The moldboard plow or chisel plow are commonly used to break up alfalfa sod for corn planting. The plow is a high consumer of energy, requiring about 2.25 gallons of diesel fuel per acre.
Research conducted in Nebraska has been used to develop a system in which the alfalfa is killed with herbicides and corn is planted directly into the sod without tillage. Plowing is eliminated and energy requirements can be reduced to about 1/4 that used in the conventional plow system.
This publication discusses how to accomplish planting corn using this method.

Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota made a plea on Saturday for more of his likely Republican presidential rivals to join him next week in what was to be the first big debate of the 2012 campaign season — but is now threatening to be a relatively sparsely attended affair.
"I hope all of the serious or even potential candidates are going to get in this debate because, look, this is a president who's got his challenges, but he's going to raise a billion dollars; he's a very gifted campaigner and we've got to start taking the case to the American people why he should be fired," Mr. Pawlenty said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Saturday morning.
The South Carolina Republican Party debate will be held in Greenville on Thursday and will be shown on Fox News.
At this point it is unclear who will be there to spar with Mr. Pawlenty. Former Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts has not directly commented on whether he will attend, and he ducked a question about it during a campaign stop at a gas station in Manchester, N.H., on Friday; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has indicated he will not be showing up; and so on.
Earlier this week the Fox News Channel executive in charge of the debate, Michael Clemente, said that several candidates had expressed interest, including Herman Cain, a former chief executive of Godfather's Pizza, and Representative Ron Paul of Texas. So Mr. Pawlenty will not be alone.
But even if few other potential contenders join him, at least Mr. Pawlenty — who has been busily trying to introduce himself to caucus and primary voters — and the others who do appear will have something to show for it: more of the screen time on Fox News of the sort money cannot buy.

Nokia Exec: Using Android is like peeing in your pants for warmth
It is always heartening when an executive speaks their mind outside of the corporate-approved sound bites. Anssi Vanjoki, an Executive Vice President at Nokia, did just that today when he likened the companies using Android on their phones to Finnish boys who pee in their pants for warmth.
The moral of the story is that while in-pants urination causes a short term burst of comfort (heat) in the cold winter, it leads to much worse problems as the liquid freezes. In other words, Anssi is calling all Android-using companies down as short sighted, and in some way, just waiting for trouble.
While the analogy may not be a direct carry, I don't think that we have anything similar here in the States, he articulates a very strong posistion from the Nokia team: no Android, no way.
According to the Financial Times, Nokia could save one billion Euro per year if it stopped developing software. The company seems to be looking farther ahead than a single year. Anssi, keep talking.

Halloween Safety Tips
There is no doubt that Halloween is one of the most exciting nights of the year. Costumes, trick-or-treating, seeing neighbors' decorations... what could be better? That being said, while the holiday comes with a lot of fun, there are important steps we all need to remember to take in order to have a safe and enjoyable night.
Related: Northeast Ohio Trick-Or-Treating Times
For starters, things certainly aren't how they were when we were growing up. Children under the age of 12 should not be alone at night without adult supervision and, if they are mature enough to be out without supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit. Trick-or-treating in groups is especially safe and it's important to remind everyone in your party the importance of the buddy system. Another common rule in my family that is used year-round but extremely reminded on Halloween is to never leave anyone behind. Always make sure you know where everyone is at all times.
In addition those rules, there are a few more, especially when it comes to driving and walking the streets after dark.
That's right, drivers. If you plan to be out and about in your vehicle on any of the trick-or-treat nights around town, drive with caution.
- Slow down and be alert, especially in residential areas. Kids get super excited and may run across the street to get their candy quicker.
- When at an intersection, look left, right, left again, right again, left once more and another right. Again, kids will be jetting for their candy.
- Enter and exit any driveways or alleys slowly and carefully. You can even honk the horn a few times to alert any walkers that your car is nearby.
- Don't drive distracted. No texting, no playing with your radio, no searching your purse. Pay attention to the road and the trick-or-treaters.
- Make sure your headlights are on so you can both see the kids and the kids can see you.
While it is super important that those behind the wheel need to be alert and careful on Halloween, it is equally important for those on foot to pay attention as well.
- Cross the street at corners and use traffic signals and crosswalks.
- When crossing the street, look left, right, left again, right again, left once more and another right. You can never be too careful.
- Don't stare at your phone when you're walking, especially when crossing streets and driveways.
- Stay on the sidewalks and paths as often as possible. If this is not an option, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible, keeping little ones to your left side.
- Try to plan your route with as little street crossing as possible.
- Watch for cars that are turning or backing up.
- Remind your children to never run into the street or cross between parked cars.
While the trick-or-treating is fun, the costumes may just be the best part of Halloween. While we definitely encourage you to be as creative as possible with your costumes, it's important to be mindful of the safety element.
- If possible, decorate your costumes and bags with reflective tape and light colors.
- Choose face paint and make up instead of masks to make sure views are not obstructed.
- Carry glow sticks and flashlights so you'll be easy to spot.
- Try to get the best size possible and nothing too long at the bottom to avoid trips and falls.

Rent Tax on the Export of Crude Oil
The most fundamental change introduced by the recent amendments is the
creation of a completely new tax which applies to exports of crude oil. The tax will apply to taxpayers who export crude oil, apart from those who are parties to PSAs. It is not clear whether the tax will apply to an oil trader who purchases crude from the producer in Kazakhstan and then exports it.
Reflecting government concerns about transfer pricing, the tax base is not the actual sale price of the exported crude, but a formula which applies an average price for a basket of widely-traded benchmark oil prices, to the volume of oil sold. There is provision to adjust this deemed price for quality differentials as a result of mixing the oil in pipelines, though it is not completely clear how this is to operate. The components of the basket will be fixed by the Government. Transportation costs should be deducted to arrive at the base for calculating the tax. Which transportation costs is not explained, nor is it indicated whether these are only the costs incurred by the producer or whether one can take into account the costs of shipping crude to a location comparable with one where the benchmark crudes are traded.
In the rather likely event that the deemed price is not a round number of dollars per barrel, the legislation is silent on how the resulting fraction will impact the rate, e.g., if the deemed price is $25.57 per barrel, then should the rate be 16 percent or 17 percent or somewhere between the two?
The tax period is to be a calendar month, and the taxpayer will be required to
pay tax for a particular month by the 10th day of the month following. A tax declaration will be due by the 15th of the following month. Like all turnover taxes, the rate of rent tax has no relationship to profitability, and will, therefore, tend to depress the economic viability of projects in the hostile conditions of the North Caspian.
Words and expressions
Exercise 6. Answer the questions
1. Who is likely to be interested in this information?
2. Are alterations in tax regime favourable for foreign oil and gas companies?
3. Is everything clear and well thought over in the new oil tax regime?
4. Write out the names of taxes which should be paid by "subsurface users" according to Model I. Are the same taxes paid according to Model II? What is different?
5. Find those parts of the text where the author says about some uncertainties in the new tax application. Comment on them.
6. Find the conclusion the author made on the economic viability of projects in Kazakhstan. Do you agree with it?
Exercise 7. Quick Reading
Look through the text and be ready to answer some questions.
1. Does the first sentence of the text have the same meaning as the title?
2. What problem is discussed?
3. Is it a local or a global issue?
4. What kinds of fiscal systems are mentioned in the text?

Many people hesitate to build their own website due to the technical knowledge required for HTML coding. This is where the Weebly website building company comes to save the day. Weebly is one of the best drag and drop website builders around. It is made of different built-in website design tools that are very effective in creating a professional and modern-looking website.
Weebly's easy to use interface is catered to help any person that is intending to have a business website or need to create a site without any need for a technical background. The website builder comes with all the necessary tools that are required to develop a satisfactory site. There are many companies available to the masses that do what Weebly does, but you should know the advantages offered by the Weebly website builder. With that said, here are the five benefits of Weebly.
Reasonable Pricing
When people are looking to create a website, the first thing that comes to mind is how much is this going to cost me? Fortunately, one of the great advantages of Weebly is the reasonable pricing. Using the Weebly website builder is free and is simple. Additionally, they offer hosting services for free if you're not using your domain. Hosting costs only come into play if you would like to attach your personal domain to your site. The cost is generally under $10 for Weebly to host a single website. The cost is generally under $10 for Weebly to host a single website but you can get it for less when using a special Weebly coupon. You are also allowed to have multiple sites for clients and different businesses.
User-friendly GUI
When using the Weebly platform, it does not matter whether you have the knowledge of using HTML code because it is very intuitive. The steps are simple: First, choose a custom theme that fits the look and style that you want. After that, you would start building your site with easy drag and drop sections and text boxes. Inserting pictures is a breeze. You may want to also add some calls to action. Weebly tutorials can be found all over the internet. I recommend going to YouTube and watching a beginner's video and performing the steps with them as they go. Once that is done and published you are freely able to access everything in your website.
Fast Hosting
The second benefit of Weebly is that the web hosting service is incredibly fast and efficient. Weebly web hosting helps you to access the entire platform's features without any limitation. The platform is highly optimized for today's SEO standards and will always be updated automatically in the future. This means your visitors will be able to access your site without delay from processing and rendering a bloated website. Additionally, it is essential for you to note that the entire level of flexibility is on par with any other website building services out there.
Beautiful Modern Themes
Another advantage of using the Weebly website builder is that it enables you to work with beautiful, modern themes. This means that you can add professional looking pictures, photo galleries and videos. This gives the front page of your business a superior look and feel compared to the local competition. For example, http://www.safewayelectricians.com and http://towvirginiabeach.com where both created on the Weebly platform. As you can see these are both very professional looking websites. Additionally, you are also able to add maps, music, contact forms, blogs and much more.
Saves Your Time
Other benefits offered by the Weebly website builder is that workflow it is very efficient and seamless for creators. Weebly does a great job of cutting out the noise and providing its creators with a simple framework. No crazy plugins, custom codes or multiple screens to flip through. Navigating is a breeze and has no limitations. There is a slight learning curve, but once the user is past this, the process of making websites will be faster than ever before.

Weirdly, the rumours came days after it emerged that Kim, 36, and husband Kanye West are having a third little one via a surrogate. Yeah, it's pretty difficult to keep up these days.
Neither Kylie nor Khloe have spoken out about their 'news', but eagle-eyed fans reckon Kim may actually have given the game away a few weeks ago. Ooh.
On 3 September, Kimmy posted an Instagram snap of herself and her sisters posing around a swimming pool together.
She'd captioned the image 'The 3 of us…' Nobody really thought much of it at the time, but followers are now wondering whether a part of the sentence is missing.
Comments include: '…are pregnant,' and: 'The 3 of us… ARE PREGNANT.'
Others speculated: 'Could this be confirmation????' 'Hinting they're all pregnant? This was the weekend Kylie apparently started telling people,' and: 'This Is a repost from February obv being sneaky confirming all 3 are pregnant LOL [sic].'
Hmm. It's an interesting theory, but not everyone's so convinced.
One sceptical message reads: 'There's probably no pregnancies. Just what you call good publicity stunt to hit record hitting ratings on this seasons premiere [sic].'

Well, whatever's going on with Kylie and Khloe, Kim definitely is expanding her family.
In a preview clip for the new series of KUWTK, we saw her ask Khloe on FaceTime: 'What happens every time I say: "Guess what?"'
Latest Stories
Khloe replied: 'You're either pregnant or a person is pregnant,' before Kim excitedly revealed: 'We're having a baby!'
Aw. We guess we'll have to keep tuning in to find out the truth about the other 'pregnancies'…

Enhanced economic cooperation among state parties to the recent Iran nuclear deal could help ensure its durability, the president says.
About 22 months of talks between Iran and the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany) led to a nuclear pact on July 14, which will end sanctions in return for temporary constraints on Tehran's nuclear work.
"The sides to the accord should try to fully honor their commitments so all the seven parties benefit from it," Hassan Rouhani was quoted by IRNA as saying.
"Such mutual benefits, together with increased economic cooperation between the parties, including Iran and Germany, can help strengthen the foundation of the agreement."
Rouhani made the remarks in a meeting with visiting German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Saturday.
Highlighting Germany's important role in helping bring the nuclear negotiations to fruition, he noted that "the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [the official title of the pact] is considered a big gain for all parties, setting a good precedent for the resolution of other international conflicts."
The action plan is meant to settle a 12-year dispute over Iran's nuclear program, which the West suspects may be aimed at developing nuclear warheads. Iran has denied this, saying its program is for civilian purposes only. Underscoring the need for a joint effort by all countries to help contain terrorism, Rouhani said, "Improved relations between Iran and Germany could involve bilateral cooperation to help address regional problems, especially terrorism, and restore peace and stability."
He said for efforts to eradicate terrorism to bear fruit, "double standards" should be avoided.
Injecting Vitality
Steinmeier, who is accompanied by a high-level economic delegation and a number of lawmakers, said, "Today, we are here to help restore vitality to top-level relations" between Tehran and Berlin.
He expressed his country's interest in expanding bilateral ties, stressing that the high potential available to foster cooperation should be exploited by the two sides.
On the issue of terrorism in the Middle East, the top German diplomat said, "Naturally, countries have taken different stances on the developments in the region based on their national interests."
"However, for political and moral reasons, we should try our best to arrive at a unanimous position to help effectively address terrorism in the region. We need to overcome barriers to direct talks and cooperation between countries on the issue," he added.

This is a great idea...a Digiscrapping Blogroll. Now there are several bloglists and blog rings like and Top Digi Blogs which Carrie Stephens runs, Top Scrapbooking Blogs and Ringsurf's Digi Scrap Blogs - you can find links to all of them on the right side bar of this blog. They are an incredibly useful set of links to digital scrapbooking blogs and one thing I really like about them is they show the headers of each blog. That makes it easy for someone visual like me to locate a particular blog. And an interesting blog header will sometimes make me stop and check it out. But headers make the list awkward to scroll through. And the blogs are listed in order of popularity and by the blog name so it can be hard to find someone.
Enter Digiscrpping Blogroll which has been organized by Hummie which you can see on my sidebar. What is so different? Well, first off, there is a scrolling thingie listing all the blogs by the writer's name which does make it a bit easier to find someone. And she put them in alphabetical order by first name which helps too. For someone like me who has never gotten around to making a list of my favorite blog links, well, this sort of cuts down on the need to do so. One of the reasons I've never made a sidebar list is that I am afraid I will offend someone by leaving them off my list. Of course, the blogroll is only as good as the person running it but Hummie is working really hard to add blogs and so far it has about 300+. That's a lot of digiscrappers!!
Another big advantage is that if you wanted to just check out some blogs it would be easy to just click on the names from anyone's blog who has the list. Many of us have been using Bloglines to keep track of our favorite blogs since it allows you to create playlists of your favorites. So you can have a playlist of all the freebie blogs or all the store blogs or all the news blogs. One really nice thing about Bloglines is that it tells you when someone has updated their blog with a new post which saves lots of time. Of course there is no reason not to use both!
Want you blog to be listed? Hummie's post on Digiscrapping Blogroll will tell you how to do that.
And it you are a Typepad user with your blog set up like this one with 3 columns then you need to change the pixel width to 100 to get the scroll bar to show up.

Kate Moss, the professional waif was also on the Beat this week for purchasing an historic mansion in London. Once owned by several literary figures, the home is situated on Highgate Hill and includes seven bedrooms and seven fireplaces – among many other attributes of this four-floor mansion. There were also numerous homes placed on the market from Los Angeles [4] such as Rose McGowan's Spanish-style home and Kyle Richards' (of the Real Housewife fame) Los Angeles cul-de-sac and we are eager to see who purchases these hot properties. Until next time…

Ohio Stadium Cake
Columbus office partner Mark D. Tucker, along with his family and friends, have endowed a general, need-based scholarship fund at The Ohio State University (OSU). Mr. Tucker and crew bake and construct the "Ohio Stadium Cake" for one home OSU Buckeyes football game each year. In addition to obtaining sponsors for the cake, Mr. Tucker and friends cut and serve the cake following the game for donations to the fund. The Stadium Cake Scholarship fund has raised over $135,000 for scholarships at OSU and awarded a total of 44 scholarships to OSU students, including seven for the current academic year. The 23rd Annual Ohio Stadium Cake was displayed prior to the Ohio State v. Iowa football game on October 19, 2013. To learn more about the Stadium Cake Scholarship fund, check out the fund's Facebook page.

Ohio State Placing Students First Newsletter
October 2014
The Buckeye community takes the cake
What is the Stadium Cake Crew? The "Ohio Stadium Cake Crew," as we call ourselves, is a small group of alumni from Logan, Ohio, most of us family, who have tailgated together for nearly 30 years. We constructed the first stadium cake for our tailgate party on a dare in 1991. We have continued the tradition since, and started collecting money for scholarships beginning in 1993, raising enough to endow our own fund in 1999. Other family members and friends have joined us along the way following their graduation from OSU
Why did the Club establish the Stadium Cake Scholarship? All of us received scholarships when we attended Ohio State beginning in the 1970s. Thousands of people stopped by our tailgate to view the cake, and we thought cutting and serving slices following a Buckeye victory would be a creative way to raise money. Because several of our group worked in student financial aid, it was only natural that we settled on giving the money we raised to the University for need-based scholarships.
What is the Club's vision/goal for your gift and its future impact? We now have an endowed fund containing nearly $150,000, the earnings from which have financed 50 scholarships awarded by the University since the 2004-05 school year. Six Stadium Cake Scholarships were awarded for the 2014-15 school year. We hope to continue to grow the fund so that the University is able to award more scholarships each year and can continue to award them in perpetuity.
Why is philanthropy and giving back important to the Club? We were all raised in a small town by parents who made community service an important part of their lives. They demonstrated service to others on a daily basis. Most of our parents were not college graduates, and they all worked hard and sacrificed so their children could attend college; not just any college, but The Ohio State University. We hope to play a small part in allowing others to enjoy the same opportunities we did.
How would you describe the Club's connection to the university over the years? We continue to feel a strong connection to Ohio State. Several of us have multiple degrees from OSU. Some of us work for OSU. Our children have attended OSU. Quite simply, we bleed scarlet and gray.
The 24th Annual Ohio Stadium Cake will be displayed on the south lawn of St. John Arena prior to the Ohio State v. Indiana football game on November 22, 2014. Additional information can be found on their website.

Scarlet and Gray batter: Yutzy's Farm Market helps out in annual making of Ohio Stadium Cake
by Chris Miles
Photo Caption: A 300-pound replica cake of Ohio Stadium sits in the home of a Dublin resident will be on display outside of St. John Arena on Saturday prior to the Ohio State University's home football game against Indiana.
It takes a virtual army of volunteers to bake, frost and build a 300-pound replica cake of the iconic Ohio Stadium.
It also takes a whole lot of food to feed that army; enter Yutzy's Farm Market of Plain City. The popular Madison County store known for its fresh produce, and high quality deli meats and cheeses, partnered with the organizers of the Stadium Cake to provide meals to those who volunteered their time and skill in creating the sweet masterpiece.
"On any given night of cake week we have 15-20 people in one house with a normal-size kitchen trying to make a 300-pound cake," cake crew member and Dublin resident Deb Papesh said. "With that many people in the kitchen you really don't have a way of feeding them.
"That's where donations like the one from Yutzy's is so helpful. It allows us to be able to do the things we need to do to get the cake done and make sure every one is getting fed too."
Yutzy's owner Greg Yutzy said his friendship and working relationship with Papesh and fellow cake crew member Kim Tucker, also a resident if Dublin, made it an easy decision to donate to the Stadium Cake cause.
"Deb and Kim are really good customers of ours," Yutzy said. "They do some things in the store for us with sample days and such and so we wanted to help them where we could. We try our best to take care of the customers that take care of us."
The Yutzy's donation included fresh breads, meats, cheeses and that were eaten by the Stadium Cake crew one night this week.
The Stadium Cake itself isn't just an edible, frosting-covered shrine dedicated to all things Scarlet and Gray. It's actually the vehicle to a scholarship fund within OSU's general need-based academic scholarship fund, that has helped dozens of students pay for college over the years.
The Stadium Cake which is in its 24th year was actually derived from the minds of some fun-loving Buckeye alumni and OSU fans who thought it would be fun to create a massive cake in the shape of "The Horseshoe" for a pre-game tailgate party. The first cake made its appearance at an OSU game against Iowa in 1991.
The cake and its construction process became an annual event and the final product continued to draw attention from fellow tailgaters and local media outlets. Deciding to take advantage of the cake's popularity, the cake crew began to accept donations that were put into the Scarlet and Gray Scholarship Fund.
In 1999, the Stadium Cake Fund had raised enough money to endow its own scholarship fund. Buckeye fans and fans of the tasty confection have continued to donate funds and have helped raise over $150,000 in scholarship funds. Ohio State University has awarded 50 scholarships from the earnings of the Stadium Cake Scholarship Fund over the years.
Photo Caption: A collection of children help decorate the field of the Ohio Stadium cake this week in Dublin. Plain City's Yutzy's Farm Market donated meals this week for the volunteers making the cake.
Every little detail surrounding the making of the cake, from garnering corporate and local sponsors to working with Ohio State directly with the scholarship selection process is covered by the cake crew. Papesh said the collection of volunteers all have individual skills, talents and abilities which allows everyone to work well together.
"Organization is key in putting something like this together," she said. "We have a lot of chiefs and work in smaller groups. There is someone in charge of corporate sponsors and some others who handle social media and those that work on the art aspect of it.
"We all work together as a team, everything just comes together. It's a lot of work but it's also a lot of fun."
As for Greg Yutzy, he's seen all of the photos of the cake, but has yet to see it in person and has yet to try a piece.
"Saturday's are just too busy for me to get away, but I've seen pictures and they do an amazing job," Yutzy said.
The Stadium Cake will be on display on the south lawn of St. John Arena Saturday, Nov. 22, prior to the Buckeyes home game with Indiana.

Check Out This Impressive Ohio Stadium Cake For Today's Game vs. Indiana
by Dan Lyons
Indiana isn't a major highlight of Ohio State schedule, but every game day in Columbus is reason for celebration. One Ohio State tailgate features an amazing Ohio Stadium cake that is certainly not lacking for detail. The cake features Brutus Buckeye, Urban Meyer, 22 players on the field, detailed video boards, cow cheerleaders cheering for the Hoosiers, and Neutron Man, a famous Ohio State fan that passed away in 2004, overlooking the stadium as an angel. This has to be one of the best stadium cakes we've seen.
The Buckeyes and Hoosiers kick off at noon on Big Ten Network.

Ohio State Stadium Cake Will Make You So Hungry
By Jason Parker
Fans show their pride and love for whatever school they root for in many ways. Some paint their chest, others make signs for game day … and some build a gigantic cake replica of Ohio Stadium, home of the Buckeyes, that is eerily similar to the real Horseshoe.
Great … now I'm hungry.

The Birdwatchers
Beautifully illustrated and written, this picture book is simply delightful. 'Birds are amazing,' says Grandad. 'When I go birdwatching, things happen,' he says. Sometimes the birds draw Grandad while he is drawing them. Sometimes birds help him find their names in his bird book. Once they recorded the dawn chorus. His granddaughter Jess isn't sure so she decides to go birdwatching with Grandad to see for herself. Through his muted line and colour wash scenes, with gently comical characters not dissimilar in style to that of Quentin Blake, James captures perfectly the special, warm relationship he wishes to portray between a little girl and her grandfather as they explore the great outdoors. The final spread is wonderful, but I won't spoil the surprise by revealing its content here. Discover for yourself.
