UPDATE: ORIGINAL G'ZOINK ART (check the most recent updates)!!!! Pictures added for plushy and miniature! CHUNDERSTORM, the G'Zoink Drinking game FREE to all $55 backers ($10 add-on for everyone else! Please keep spreading the word, friends. I added a new G'Zoink themed Dementalism promo card that will be yours if we nab 100+ backers (check it out below). Also, like the G'Zoink facebook page for special offers.
See, there are these things called giggities. They sort of flutter around touching peeps and absorbing their traits. If one touched you, for example, it might nab itself your mighty hairstyle, or maybe your Grandma's taco recipe, or your ability to blast fireballs out of your nose. That sort of stuff…
Giggity giggers are zazz wagglers (magical sorts) who have hipped themselves to the gist of how to capture giggities, yoink the traits the giggities nabbed from others, and g'zoink them onto themselves. So, like, if you're a giggity gigger and you capture a giggity who once touched me and absorbed my buns of steel, you can waggle your zazz and get yourself some sweet, sweet buns of your own.
That's G'Zoink in a nutshell. Simple, yet hideously complex. Players are giggity giggers who catch giggities and g'zoink their traits in an attempt to become the most awesome zazz waggler since zazz waggling first became a thing that's a thing. It's not that easy, though, because giggities don't only absorb the good stuff. If you don't play your cards right you might end up with horrible backne or a blue hairy tongue or something even worse.
G'Zoink takes place on Mutha Oith, the setting for the Low Life RPG and the Dementalism card game, but familiarity with such things is not necessary for players to enjoy the game.
Game Type: Card Game
Players: 2-8
Ages: 5+
Duration: 20 minutes or so
Difficulty Level: Easy to learn
The concept behind G'Zoink is absurdly simple. It's one of those "easy to learn, difficult to master" sort of the things peeps are always going on about. Various locations on Oith are designated by particular stacks of cards. Each locale has a difficulty rating, known as a squonk, that lets players know the degree of risk versus reward each stack contains. Locations with low squonk values contain giggities with accordingly low valued traits (good and bad). Higher squonks are more dangerous, but also potentially more rewarding.
On a player's turn she takes the top card from the locale of her choice and adds it to her hand. Each card is illustrated with a unique giggity and represents a trait g'zoinked by the giggity gigger who nabs it. Another type of card, known as The Hookup, allows players to mix things up a bit by transferring cards to other players, nabbing them from other players, placing them back in the stacks, and other fancy jazz.
So, basically, peeps weigh the risks and rewards of each locale based on what's been nabbed already and make the choice of which stack to nab from based on that insight. Simple, yet hideously complex (also absurdly fun)! There's a bit more to it than that, but that's the gist of the thing.
The following snazz can be nabbed as part of an existing pledge level or by adding the listed amount to any other pledge. If you add anything please send me a message via kickstarter to let me know what you want.
Anyone who backs this kickstarter or helps me spread the word has my sincerest gratitude. I love you all and every bit helps. Also, if you back it, even for a dollar, all the peeps who follow you on kickstarter will find out about it and the word will spread. So, thanks.
Everyone who kicks in five or more clams will be recognized as a supremely awesome person on the Mutha Oith Creations website.
A mere twenty clams nabs you digital PDF print and play copies of G'Zoink and BOTH G'Zoink Expansion decks.
Here's where you get the actual printed copy of the G'Zoink game. You can nab as many extra copies as you want by adding more twenty-five dollarses to your pledge.
Everyone who gets something mailed to them also gets a snazzy G'Zoink sticker and an art card. If you want more stickers and/or art cards, you can get one of each (or two of one) for an extra $5.
This here is the newly announced CHUNDERSTORM drinking game expansion for G'Zoink. It's FREE for everyone who pledges $55 or more and can be added to any other pledge for a measly ten clams.
TWO G'Zoink Expansion decks are in the works. The first one represents The Dingdom of the Dong and the Incredibly Huge Monster (tm) while the second is all about That One Place with All the Sand and the Pox Aroma. We don't need to reach any stretch goals or anything in order to nab these. They are part of the initial kickstarter. How's that for awesome? The thing is, though, boxes are expensive. Expansion 01's box will be a thing if reach $7000 in funding and Expansion 02's box will happen when we hit $10,000.
Fifteen clams makes one of these super cool Oithling mouse pads yours. They are 8" in diameter and consummately circular. Each mouspad features the Crying Oith logo and the phrase "Hooman by Birth - Oithling by the Grace of Boorglezar".
Do you like to wear clothing? If so, wow, do we have a treat for you. This stylish t-shirt features the G'Zoink logo and is so goosin' cool I'm going to order several for myself and wear them all at the same time.
This limited edition (only 20 more than we fund through the kickstarter will be made available to the public) Low Life Miniature portrays one of the wonkiest giggities around. He'll be really big and have a ton of crazy features. I haven't sculpted him yet, so I'm not sure exactly what he'll look like. I'm open to suggestions. These contanimants I sculpted should give you an idea of what to expect:
Legendary plushie creator Krystal Tomlinson (Live.Dream.Create, The Lowlies) will make you a CUSTOM stuffed felt giggity. Each one is entirely unique and inimitably cuddly. Here's a sample:
Now we're cooking with gas (I always cook with gas. I do everything with gas, if you know what I mean). You get to design your own giggity. Tell me the traits you want it to have and I'll draw it for you and make it into an official G'Zoink card that will be plopped into one of the official G'Zoink decks. Classy, stylish, and affordable.
For the low, low sum of just sixty clams you'll be the proud owner of the Dementalism: An Ingenious Game of Ingenious Ingeniousness card game and ALL THREE Dementalism expansion decks. Sure, that's what it costs if you buy it in a store or at www.lowtique.com, but this way you don't have to pay any extra shipping fees.
Here's your chance to get some original art for an extremely low price. You'll get all the perks of the Create A Giggity thing a couple of paragraphs up, but YOU GET TO KEEP THE DRAWING. That's normally a $300 value, but you're special and I like you.
Not only will get you get a bunch of other jazz (basically all the stuff we've already discussed, but I will personally travel to your home and hand deliver your G'Zoink game and other rewards. I'll stick around for a couple of days, living on your couch and raiding your refrigerator (or maybe I'll stay in a hotel) and playing games with you and your friends. Come on, it'll be super fun. If you live outside of the continental US, please message me and we'll figure out what this would cost for you.
You get every single thing listed up until now and you also get a copy of every single, non limited-edition, product produced by Mutha Oith Creations up until now and over the next five years. This includes books, card games, board games, miniatures, clothing, game accessories, and all sorts of other snazzy jazz. You also get a lifetime "Get in Free" pass to Con on the Cob.
I will personally form a cult devoted to the worship of you and/or the espousal of whatever dogma you wish to represent. Ever wanted to be the Gawd of Red Bread Mold or the Patron Saint of Stubbed Toes? Now's your chance. I'll be your high priest and lead an annual worship service at Con on the Cob. I'll build you a shrine in my backyard and erect a statue in your honor. Also, I create a website devoted to Youdaism and form a missionary service dedicated to gaining new converts. How can you pass this up? How indeed...
The following jazz will be unlocked as we reach certain milestones.
Promotional Cards
When we reach $5000 and for every $1000 thereafter a new, limited edition, promotional G'Zoink card will be unlocked and included FOR FREE to all backers who pledge at least $20 (PDF form for digital backers, printed form for everyone else). These cards will only be offered to backers of this kickstarter, so they're totally collectible and exclusive.
Promotional Dementalism Card
Here's something super cool you might get jazzed about. If (when, really. Who are we kidding) we reach 100 backers, every backer who pledges at a level that gets something in the mail (or hand delivered) will also receive this snazzy G'Zoink themed promo card for the Dementalism - A Game of Ingenious Ingeniousnessness card game. Cool, yes no?
Customized Hand Drawn G'Zoink Cards
If we reach $12,000 every backer who pledges at least $90 will receive a FREE hand drawn custom G'Zoink card. I will personally sketch a unique giggity on your card, which will have the same background as those that come with the game. If we reach $20,000 EVERY BACKER who pledges at least $50 will get a hand drawn custom card. At $30,000 EVERY BACKER who pledges $25 or more will get one.
Boxes for the Expansions
The two G'Zoink Expansion Decks are already ready to be a thing. The thing is, though, they won't come in their own individual tuck boxes unless we hit certain milestones. The box for Expansion 01 (The Dingdom of the Dong and The Incredibly Huge Monster) will be unlocked when we reach $7000 and the box for Expansion 02 (That One Place with all the Sand and The Pox Aroma) will be unlocked when we reach $10,000.
Additional Expansions
At certain milestones, beginning at $15,000 and every $15,000 thereafter, I will introduce another G'Zoink Expansion deck (60 cards). These will be offered to all backers for an additional $15 each.
Risks and challenges
Having learned my lesson from past projects, I've set the G'Zoink release date far enough in the future that any production delays should be easily manageable. Since I'm doing all the illustration and design myself, I won't have to rely on the misadventures of other freelancers to get the job done. That's a good thing, but it also puts me at the mercy of my own muses. That's why I set the delivery next March instead of an earlier time, even though I'm fairly confident the game will be ready well before then. In fact, it's mostly ready right now.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

I've conquered toffee, finally!
Posted by thesouthernepicurean in Desserts on January 11, 2011
It's only taken a few years, but I've finally done it. I've conquered toffee.
I know, I know, it's all about watching the thermometer, but somewhere between adding the sugar and pouring the hot mixture mine never hardened. So I tweaked my recipe and watched it like a hawk, stirring the whole time and voila! I believe I've made the perfect toffee…well, at least my friends and family think so. I hope this works as well for you as it has for me. Enjoy!
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups butter, unsalted (+extra to grease the pan)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups pecans
1. Butter the bottom and sides of a cookie sheet. Set it aside for now.
2. Add corn syrup, sugar, butter, salt and water to pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture starts boiling, place a candy thermometer on the side of the pot. Continue to stir about 20 minutes or so until the mixture reaches 310 degrees (should be a nice golden color).
3. Pour this bubbly mixture into the buttered cookie sheet. Spread it to cover the entire sheet. Now, pour the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee. Spread the chocolate chips out to cover the entire sheet, they will melt as you are doing this. Now, sprinkle the pecans over top.
4. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for an hour to cool. Once it has all hardened, break it apart. The best part is that you'll have big and small pieces–none of which will be perfectly shaped.
*You'll likely have lots of slivers and small pieces left, keep these in a Ziploc bag to add to cookie dough later.

Are you paying more than the going rate?
Most of us know when we're being ripped off but it can be hard to tell. There are times when you're blissfully unaware that the price you're paying for something is just ridiculously high. So we've compiled a list of products and services where you might not realise you're paying more than the going rate.
Cinema popcorn vs Supermarket popcorn
We've all done it; gone to the cinema for a cheap night out and ended up spending more than we bargained for. The average cost at the cinema is normally upwards of £4 for a small bag. If you buy it as part of a combo then the price comes down a little bit, but not by much.
But popcorn is relatively cheap when bought from the supermarket, costing on average no more than £2 for microwave or ready-made popcorn.
So our advice is; try to avoid buying snacks at the cinema, or eat beforehand or buy it in advance from the supermarket.
Just to add: A large bag of sweet popcorn at an Odeon cinema contains 1005 calories or 502.5 if you're sharing with your Valentine!
Petrol Prices – local v motorway service station
We all have to buy it if we're running a car and it's probably one of the biggest costs you'll face if you drive. In 2014 The RAC published figures saying that fuel prices were 10p more at motorway service stations than the national average and could cost up to £8 more when filling up a tank.
However there is some good news as the Department for Transport is planning a trial this year which will involve motorway signs that will advertise the petrol prices before you get to the service station. This will hopefully lead to increased competition and cheaper fuel costs. Details on the trial can be found here.
Something to think about: Plan your journey carefully. If you need to plan for petrol stops consider stopping off at supermarkets where petrol is normally cheaper.
Coke from the fridge vs coke from a pub / restaurant
Eating out is usually enjoyable when you manage to get some free time. Incase you didn't know, the biggest mark-up and profit that most restaurants have is on drinks. Take a glass of coke for example. A multipack of 10 cans, which is just over 3 litres, from Home Bargains will cost £3 compared to £2 for around 250-300mls in a pub. The same could be said for alcoholic drinks as well – remember that you're also paying for things like serving, replacing glasses and storage.
Our advice: Try water, or even a jug of tap water as a possible alternative.
iPhone vs regular phone
So there's a reason why the iPhone is the most popular phone on the planet. With its sleek design and easy to use functionality it's easy to see why most people have one. Alternatively you could buy a device with the same functionality but for a fraction of the cost.
The current range of Android devices more than match Apple's offering. There is also the added bonus of SD card memory, on selected models, which Apple don't offer. Windows mobile also has Cortana which is a rival to Siri on the iPhone. So it's well worth considering next time you upgrade.
As of February 2016, a 16GB iPhone 6 will cost £459 outright. A 32GB Samsung Galaxy S6 would cost £399. Remember that these costs that are spread out over the course of your contract so you'll end up paying more.
Our advice: Consider an alternative to the iPhone unless you can haggle down the cost of your next contract.
Main dealer car service vs independent garage service
For most cars, it's a good idea to get your car serviced at least once a year. If you do some research online you'll be able to find a number of garages near you. Whilst the labour costs may not be that much higher at a main dealer, compared to independent garages, the costs increase as any repairs or replacements are done using genuine manufacturer parts.
Our advice: Ask around for recommended local independent garages or alternatively have a look at the Good Garages Scheme to find a reliable mechanic near you.
As a guide on what you get from a service you can check out the Kwik-fit and Halfords websites for a breakdown on what to expect.

I know the location of "The Picker," and I was going to keep it a secret until he e-mailed me this morning to explain his 0-2 Saturday night.
"The Picker" liked the Thunder laying nine points in the first half against the Timberwolves, and he also liked the Milwaukee Bucks on the money line against Indiana. Both selections were losers, dropping "The Picker" to a record of 14-10-2 (although he will be the first to argue that if you follow his motto — "Always but the extra half-point" — his record jumps to 16-10.)
"Well, after watching Thunder warm up, I knew I was in trouble. Not one of their top three players took a serious shot in warmups. Bucks was just a dumb pick, it happens," he said.
Yes, "The Picker" was in attendance at the Target Center to see Kevin Durant in person for the first time. He is from Minnesota, which means it has been a long, long time since he has seen the home team win a basketball game in the month of April.
I do not know with whom "the Picker" places his wagers, nor do I care to know.
All I know is that the guy hits more than he misses, which is why he is making picks on this site. As always, we must warn you that we do not condone or endorse illegal gambling, but a different standard applies for folks in Nevada and outside of the United States.
Today, the Picker is making only one pick: Miami on the money line against New York. A $1 bet brings back $1.70 if the Heat win (they are 3-point favorites).

George A. Romero was a passionate innovator, a visionary, and an indie filmmaker who always created art on his own terms. His zombie apocalypse movies created a new terror for us to be afraid of, with their shambling walking dead, but his keen eye for social commentary made us realize that the true monsters lay within ourselves. Night of the Living Dead (1968), Dawn of the Dead (1978), and Day of the Dead (1985) are widely regarded as masterpieces within their genre and influenced many other artists to include directors John Carpenter and Edgar Wright, and comic book writer Robert Kirkman, who went on to write one of the most popular zombie stories of all time The Walking Dead.
My relationship to Romero's work is more personal because his film Dawn of the Dead was one of the first horror flicks I remember watching as a young child. My father and I bonded over horror films and much of our time was spent together watching them. He told me early on that there were no such things as monsters and that it was just pretend and people wearing makeup which allayed my fears. Honestly, some of my fondest memories are going with my father to the rental store and picking out scary movies on VHS to watch when we got home. In 2012, my dad died from cancer and when I went to visit him in his final stages we talked about horror movies to take his mind off the pain. It sounds strange, but I feel extremely comforted and nostalgic while watching classic flicks like Dawn of the Dead because of the happy memories I associate with my dad. Romero died from cancer as well, and I hope that in the future we are able to fight that disease and eradicate it from our existence.
Romero was an icon in the horror industry and his mark was made with 1968's Night of the Living Dead which brought that documentary-style/guerilla feel to scary movies. The events of that film could take place in real life and they use locations that are familiar to audiences which heightens the feeling of unease. He also made this film with a small budget which inspired subsequent directors to make their own indie movies. Night of the Living Dead was both a critique of America's involvement in the Vietnam War and the state of race relations in the country at the time, and Romero never shied away from subversive political issues in his filmography.
While zombies have become somewhat cliche in recent times due to over saturation, their initial impact on horror cannot be undermined. Even now, people love to hate the reanimated ghouls and it is in no small part to George Romero's classic films. We lost a master today in the horror community and his influence and voice shall be sorely missed.
As an aside, Romero's zombie movies aren't the only ones he made worth checking out. Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988), Knightriders (1981), and Martin (1978) are all fantastic in their own right and should be on any horror aficionado's list.

My office went to McCormick & Schmick for our summer outing, which happened to coincide with Restaurant Week in Baltimore. We had a reservation for ten, at 12:45, and were seated at a round table overlooking the water.
When I got there, the first thing that struck me was the smell. From the parking lots to the east, you have to walk by the garbage bins, which on a hot summer day, was pretty rank. Once we got inside, everything had a scent of mucky dishwater, standing water and cleaner. Things looked dirty and sticky. The place is huge and it wasn't very full.
Here's the lunch menu:
Lunch Appetizer
Maryland Crab Soup
McCormick's House Salad
Spinach Salad
Lunch Entrée
Grilled Tuna Brochette
Cedar Roasted Atlantic Salmon
Seafood Stir Fry
Lunch Dessert
Chocolate Truffle Cake
Walnut Crusted Upside Down Apple Pie
We got tuna brochette, which was way overdone, salmon and steak salads which weren't on the RW menu. I had a spinach salad which had lovely baby spinach leaves with a sesame/ginger dressing and pecans. Others got the house salad. Funnily enough, out of ten people, no one ordered the crab soup. The desserts were huge and the pie also had cinnamon ice cream on the side. Again, as we left, we had to go by the garbage, and it wasn't any better than before lunch.

Allenford's most common listing this month is 3 bedroom properties, less than province's most common offering of 3 bedrooms.
From our data, it appears that neighbourhood is number 2634th when comparing neighbourhoods by the number of properties available to investors across the nation, putting it in the bottom 50.
Ontario has hundreds of possible neighbourhoods for you to invest in and there is lots of data to sift through to help you narrow your search down.
Stock on the market can be an important leading indicator of whether market pressure will be on prices to rise or fall – in Allenford there is about the same amount of stock than three months ago. This would indicate housing stock pressure remaining the same.
When it comes to the size of the properties currently available to property investors in this neighbourhood, they tend to have the average number of bedrooms than the most commonly available across the nation.
Will prices rise across the next year in in Allenford? There are a number of real estate indicators to consider.

Of course there is also divided texting...
i saved it until my phone died because it was classic that made me giggle every time i read it:
I will be at the airport at 11:30 to pick you up
and we'll take the BART back into the city.
I cannot wait to get you back to my hotel room
so you can drop your suitcase and we can
begin exploring the city!

Hey Eolist! And HEY! I resemble that remark! Freud would have a field day with that particular broken text. Indigo xReplyDelete
It's worry to think that maybe technology is already quite sentient, yet on the other hand it's good to know it's got a sense of humor :)ReplyDelete
Yes, Indigo, you do resemble that remark. Forget Freud, I had a field day with that particular broken text. =PReplyDelete
Robbie, i am a firm believer that technology really does have a mind of it's own.
Technology is my slave. It is my evil children crossing the world. Mwaaaahhhhhh!ReplyDelete
BART? The City? That can only mean San Francisco. My hometown and one of the greatest cities anywhere. Hope you had a great time.ReplyDelete
That's funny! I like the idea of technology having a sense of humour, like CP30.ReplyDelete
Jayne, nice to meet you. Yes it was San Francisco and yes i had a fabulous time! So many things left to explore however, so i wish to go back another time.ReplyDelete
Rebecca I especially love it when technology fails - unless, however, i am on it at the time. ;)
Damn! And here I thought you were going to get lucky! I'm sure a good time was had by all!ReplyDelete
CatLadyLarew and a damn shame too ain't it?ReplyDelete
we had a fabulous time. cried all the way home i did.

There are two main degrading agents that attack tires, plastic and vinyl—ultraviolet (UV) light and ozone. Both of these attack the long hydrocarbon chains of the rubber, trim, and vinyl skin by breaking these bonds, shortening the molecules with a resulting loss of elasticity and other properties. The results will be apparent as fading and dry rot.
TIRE manufacturers add two primary sacrificial protectants to the rubber. To protect against UV, manufacturers add carbon black. This is why tires and trim are most always black. The carbon black will turn white or gray as it absorbs the UV and protects the rubber. This is the basis of rubber and plastic parts turning gray as they age. To protect against ozone, tire manufacturers add a wax-based sacrificial protectant. The ozone attacks the wax and depletes it. As the tire rolls, additional wax is forced to the surface of the tire. This oxidized wax will appear brown on tire surface. This is referred to as blooming. This blooming refreshes the surface wax protectant. A tire that has not been flexed will have the wax depleted by the ozone and thus begin to degrade and suffer dry rot. Silicone and oil, which are the main ingredients in most all of the advertised protectants, actually dissolves the wax and is the cause of premature tire sidewall cracking and failure. Nationally advertised protectants, both silicone and oil based, also contain formaldehyde and/or other harsh petroleum surfactants. Some tire manufacturers may not honor their warranties on damages if use of such protectant products are detected. These protectant simply enhance the appearance by providing temporary hydration of the surface.
Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids or between a liquid and a solid. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants.
VINYL surfaces have a protective skin and just as PLASTIC surfaces it is depleted from off-gassing. Silicone and oil based protectants may also dissolve the essential oils in the skin, hastening the premature formation of cracks in the vinyl. Silicone also has a electrostatic attraction which attract dirt and dust particles. A quality protectant should contain a strong UV protectant to bolster the efforts of the carbon black and not contain surfactants that remain active after applied, " wet or greasy ".
Renew Protect supplies co-polymer essential feeding elements that restore the original OEM composition of the surface. Renew Protect also creates a dry-seal ozone and UV block via zinc and titanium oxides. This technology also serves to retard the "blooming" and "off-gassing" process and greatly enhances the retention of protective elements within the surface. Renew Protect Blak also contains carbon black and is ideal for the restoration of faded black surfaces and of their competitive UV absorbing protective properties. Renew Protect is silicone, oil-free and dries with no active petrochemical solvents.

1) First decide which countries you MUST see. This is your guideline on which your route will be based.
2) Then decide if there are any countries which you would like to see, but which are no absolute necessity.
3) Create a connection between the must-see countries and try to incorporate the no. 2 countries. This would be your main route.
When you've created your itinerary, it's time to decide upon a route within the countries itself. We will get to that later.
I am still in dubio about my own backpacking itinerary. Luckily the last two months are already set because my best friend will visit me and we already decided on a route together: Thailand - Malaysia - Singapore - Indonesia.
But what to do in the three and a half months before that?
I'm still considering getting a job for one month. It's not only a great opportunity to work abroad, but it also is a good thing in terms of budget. Of course you won't get rich from working on a fruit farm (or any other backpacker employer), but you will earn some money or your employer will at least give you a place to stay.
The questions I have to ask myself right now:
1) Do I want to get a job? Then I should probably incorporate Australia in my planning because there are a lot of job opportunities there. In that case I would also take a plane to New Zealand because I'm already in the neigbourhood :)
2) If I would do the job thing, how much time is left to visit the other countries on my list? (India - Nepal - Myanmar - Laos - Vietnam - Cambodia)
What to do, oh what to do...
|The no-job-no-Australia route would look somewhat like this.

|Honeysuckle berries and some of the mixes
You may remember I mentioned honeysuckle would be the main floral flourish here and I made sure there were blooms, buds and berries included on the page in all their pinky lusciousness. favourite colours such as Indanthrene Blue, Lemon Yellow, Perylene Maroon and Permanent Rose combined beautifully with a new favourite by Daniel Smith. Anthraquinoid Red has a lovely depth and lifts beautifully with the brush. The texture is soft and the paint itself makes gorgeous, deep blends.
|Summery shades of fresh green, pink and sunshine yellow
|Purples and pinks on a partially open flower
Along with the painted elements, I decided to include a sprig rendered partially with ink. I love using my Rotring pen (as you may know) and I like the sketchy appeal of unfinished pieces in a sketchbook. Along with the written Shakespeare quote from A Midsummer Night's Dream, I hoped to create an old fashioned sketchbook appeal where mixed media and different elements would be combined.
|Pen and pencil along with painted elements
So where are the finished pages I hear you cry. Ah well, you will have to visit The Natural Sketchbook Exchange blog to see how it all looks together.
Elsewhere, I have been getting re-acquainted with some old friends. Back in the day, I used to use a scale rule every day of my working life. Everything I drew for a new building had to be scaled down into the architectural drawings I would prepare. Although I haven't used it for years, I kept it and now find I need it again. Funny how things come round.
|What goes around...
My old scale rule and a couple of other 'old friends'
At the weekend, it was lovely to have friend's over for dinner. Good weather, good food and good conversation really are what makes the world go round in our house and the good times continued to roll when I was presented with this lovely gift. or rather, the garden was.

James Richardson, 1806-1851
Biographical note
British explorer.
Richardson made an expedition in 1845 from Tunis and Tripoli in Libya to Ghadames and Ghat in the middle of the Sahara. Here he collected information about the Tuareg and arrived after nine months back again in Tripoli. After he had published "Travels into the great desert of Sahara" (2 Books. London 1849), he succeeded to convince the British government to equip an expedition into Sudan and to lake Chad. In March 1850 Richardson went for the second time to Ghat accompanied by Heinrich Barth and Adolf Overweg. He was the first European to cross the stony elevated plain of the Hammada. James Richardson died on this journey on 4 March 1851 in Ngurutua, a six day journey away from Kuka. His travel notes and diaries were published by Bayle Saint John: "Narrative of a mission to Central Africa". 2 Books. London [1853] and "Travels in Morocco". 2 Books. London [1859].

Andrew Feinberg, a correspondent for Sputnik, has announced on Twitter that he's no longer working for the Russian "global wire, radio and digital news service." And he's intent upon doing so with as much detail as possible:
I'm no longer working for @SputnikInt — I'd love to tell you why. Please feel free to contact me.
— Andrew Feinberg (@agfhome) May 26, 2017
Seems @SputnikInt isn't happy with real journalists. They'd rather have ACTUAL propagandists operate anonymously.
— Andrew Feinberg (@agfhome) May 26, 2017
Seems @SputnikInt isn't happy with real journalists. They'd rather have ACTUAL propagandists operate anonymously.
— Andrew Feinberg (@agfhome) May 26, 2017
I kept my mouth shut while I was working at @SputnikInt because I thought they might actually care facts, hate work or good journalism.
— Andrew Feinberg (@agfhome) May 26, 2017
The truth is they don't want their reporters to have their own reputations, b/c a lie is easier when it doesn't come with a byline.
— Andrew Feinberg (@agfhome) May 26, 2017
This is why @SputnikInt wanted the Seth Rich story pushed. https://t.co/chjPjbGody
— Andrew Feinberg (@agfhome) May 26, 2017
The Twitter explosion makes some sense, at least from a journalistic point of view. Sputnik is a Russian propaganda outlet, as a few headlines clarify: "US Strike in Deir ez-Zor: 'If It Was Russian Planes MSM Would Demonize Russia.'" "Russia Supplies Advanced President-S Onboard Defense Systems to Three Countries." "Trump Fail to Stand Behind Article 5 at NATO Summit." "Anonymous Sources Control US Narrative on Trump-Russia." Sputnik sprung from state news agency RIA Novosti that, in the words of Foreign Policy magazine, serves as "yet another compliant outlet to trumpet the Kremlin line."
The Russia-oriented content has to come from somewhere. And for about five months, Feinberg did his share, attending the daily White House press briefings and writing up dispatches, many of which disappeared behind Sputnik's paywall. He wrote about U.S.-Russia diplomatic issues, the budget, Easter eggs and so on.
Behind the scenes, however, the pressures of working for a point-of-view news outlet loomed. One key example, noted Feinberg in an interview with the Erik Wemple Blog, relates to the chemical weapons attack unleashed by the Russia-allied regime of Bashar al-Assad. In preparation for a White House briefing a couple of weeks later, Feinberg says he was asked to query the White House about the findings of MIT emeritus professor Theodore Postol, who called into question the judgment of the White House that Assad was to blame.
"Thankfully I didn't get called on but I said to one of the editors, 'I'm really not comfortable doing that,'" recalls Feinberg.
As far as questions go, Feinberg became a Beltway celebrity this week, as The Post's Dana Milbank credited him for pushing Trump budget director Mick Mulvaney on budget issues at a briefing. "So it has come to this: A Russian government-funded propaganda outfit schooling the Trump administration on the cruelty of its proposed federal budget," wrote Milbank. Feinberg asked Mulvaney to account for how cuts targeting undocumented immigrants could impact children who are U.S. citizens. When Mulvaney argued that the government has programs for indigent children, Feinberg noted that the Trump budget cuts those as well. He has kept a link to Milbank's story pinned to the top of his Twitter account, the sort of self-promotion that, according to Feinberg, the Sputnik folks don't appreciate.
"I got the feeling that that bugged them a bit," says Feinberg. "One of the editors for the past couple of days has been giving me s––– about that."
Anonymity is prized at the outlet, he says. Editors don't like by-lined stories. "It's the fact that if you don't have bylines on stories and there's no one accountable for words, then you can really print whatever you want," he says. "If you send someone to the White House, you can't expect them to be anonymous."
In another category of problems resides Seth Rich, the 27-year-old Democratic National Committee (DNC) aide who was killed in July in the District. Though police believed that the slaying was the result of a robbery gone bad, valuables remained with him, sparking conspiracy theories on the Internet and "Hannity" that maybe something else explained the tragedy. Namely, that it was Rich and not the Russians who supplied WikiLeaks with all those internal DNC emails. A story titled "Who Was Seth Rich" threw these thoughts at the situation:
The Daily mail wrote that — "At the time of his death, Seth Rich was working as a data analyst for the DNC." In fact, he was in charge of all the tech guys and a whole technical aspect of voting at the DNC. He was the avant-garde of tech." That's right. Apparently, this guy was smart and he would be in the know, if something shady were to be happening behind the scenes. But what could that be?
Feinberg: "They wanted me to be asking and writing stuff on this Seth Rich thing and I said, 'I'm not going to do that.'" A good propaganda operation specializes in responses to bad publicity, too. Example: Feinberg on Friday tweeted out a Wall Street Journal article addressing the activities of an "alleged Russian hacker" who shared key voter data from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee with a Republican operative in Florida. "They wanted to push back" on that story, says Feinberg.
Both Sputnik and its White House guy arrived simultaneously at the realization that their relationship wasn't working. "I was ready to go. They were ready with a termination letter. They were faster on the draw," he says. His exit brings to memory the departure of staffers from Kremlin-backed broadcaster RT over demands to pursue storylines favorable to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
For the past couple of months, Feinberg has been poking around in search of a new spot to do his thing. He previously worked as a contributing editor to BroadbandCensus News and as a staff writer for the Hill. Now he's looking. "This is the best I've felt, ever, about not having a job," he says.
In the middle of an extensive interview about his brief tenure at Sputnik, Feinberg says, "I think I signed a non-disclosure agreement, and I really don't care. Let the come for the ten dollars in my bank account."
Questions about Feinberg's employment are pending with the Sputnik media shop.


text: Page ContentOf interest to educators is a case involving teenagers allegedly dealing drugs in the teachers' parking lot of W.P. Wagner School on a summer evening in Nipawin, Saskatchewan. In R v. Jones, 2015 SKPC 29, the accused were arrested following a search of their car and cell phone. The Provincial Court of Saskatchewan decision, dated March 3, 2015, includes a succinct summary of the case in the opening paragraph: Two teenagers are sitting inside a car in a school parking lot. A series of vehicles drive up to them, exchange something and then drive off. The police stop the car being driven by one of the teenagers, take away his cell phone and go through it. This case asks whether the police have the authority to do this.The teens were charged with trafficking and possession of marijuana. They challenged the admissibility of the cell phone evidence, among other challenges, such as arbitrary detention arising from the vehicle stop. This article focuses on the Court's review of the warrantless cell phone search by police. The RCMP officers who searched the teenagers' phones were responding to a 911 call made at 7:10 in the evening. The caller reported a white car parked in the school parking lot, and other vehicles pulling up alongside with exchanges taking place, and subsequently driving away leaving the white car in the parking lot. The obvious inference is that the occupants of the white vehicle were selling drugs in hand-to-hand exchanges with each car that drove up alongside. The Court had no difficulty finding that the officers had reasonable suspicion of criminal activity. Upon observing the white car, there was no other explanation for its presence in the school parking lot. The Court concluded that "these were a succession of quick exchanges between cars in the teachers' parking lot of an elementary school in the evening in the middle of summer when the school was closed and no one else was around. It is more possible, and likely, that they were selling drugs from the Crown Victoria vehicle than they were selling items off eBay or passing notes from class at summer school." Supreme Court Test For Police Searches Of Cell Phones As reported in the Winter 2015 Edition of the BLG Education Law Newsletter, the Supreme Court of Canada developed a new test for police searches of cell phones. In R v. Fearon, 2014 SCC 77, the Supreme Court considered whether the existing power for police to search pursuant to a lawful arrest extends to cell phone searches. At his criminal trial for armed robbery, Mr. Fearon argued the evidence from a police cell phone search was inadmissible because police did not have a warrant. Mr. Fearon challenged the cell phone search under section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which states "Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure." The Supreme Court modified the existing common law framework for a lawful search and seizure, which states that a search incidental to an arrest must be:Founded on a lawful arrest; Be truly incidental to that arrest; and Be conducted reasonably. After Fearon, the new test for lawful search and seizure of a cell phone by police is: The arrest was lawful; The search is truly incidental to the arrest in that the police have a reason based on a valid law enforcement purpose to conduct the search, and that reason is objectively reasonable. The valid law enforcement purposes in Protecting the police, the accused, or the public; Preserving evidence; or Discovering evidence, including locating additional suspects, in situations in which the investigation will be stymied or significantly hampered absent the ability to promptly search the cell phone incident to arrest. The nature and the extent of the search are tailored to the purpose of the search; and The police take detailed notes of what they have examined on the device and how it was searched. Since Fearon, lower courts have been applying the new test in criminal cases where the evidence obtained as a result of a cell phone search is critical to a conviction. Saskatchewan Court Applies Test In Fearon The Court in R v. Jones concluded that the police complied with all four requirements of Fearon, and decided the officer's search was limited, cursory and incident to a lawful arrest. Below is a detailed analysis of how the Court applied Fearon. The arrest was lawful The Court decided the accused were lawfully arrested based on the officer's observation of drug trafficking paraphernalia in plain sight and the smell of raw marijuana. They searched the car and seized items such as baggies of individually rolled tinfoil balls, with roughly one gram of marijuana in each, marijuana pipes and cash. One of the officers also found a cell phone belonging to one of the accused. The phone was on, and was not password protected. The officer viewed two recent text message conversations. In one text message conversation, an individual was asking the owner of the phone if they could buy a "30". In another text message conversation, a different individual was asking to buy a "40". The officer interpreted these messages as arranging to buy marijuana. The officer searched the phone again when at the police station, and viewed two similar text messages sent around the time the 911 call was made. The search is truly incidental to arrest. The Court decided that the initial search, which took place immediately after arrest, and another search six hours later fell within a reasonable period of time after the arrest such that they are "still connected and incidental to arrest." There was no substantial delay. The nature and the extent of the search are tailored to the purpose of the search. This aspect of the Fearon test was easily met. The officer was investigating marijuana trafficking, commonly referred to by law enforcement as "Dial-a-Dope". The Court noted that many cases involve admitting text messages as evidence in drug trafficking cases, stating "text messaging is the lifeflood of Dial-A-Dope drug dealers." The Court concluded that the officer's search was sufficiently tailored as required by Fearon, stating as follows:… focussed and limited solely to the text messaging function of the phone. It consisted of him thumbing through some recent messages on the phone's text messaging feature. At no point did he access the phone's e-mail, photos, contact numbers, call log or any other applications on the phone. The police take detailed notes of what they have examined on the device and how it was searched. As stated in Fearon, the record of the search should generally include "the applications searched, the extent of the search, the time of the search, its purpose and its duration." The police officer wrote down word for word the content of the text messages he searched at the scene of the arrest, and immediately following his return to the station. That was the extent of his search, and the Court found his record keeping sufficient. Police Should Not Have Sent Cell Phone Away For Further Analysis Although the search of the cell phone was lawful, the police were criticized by the Court for the subsequent action of sending the cell phone away for forensic analysis of the entire contents. The officer had already transcribed the text messages he felt indicated the accused were trafficking drugs. If he was concerned that the cell phone contents could be remotely wiped, he could have preserved the evidence by less invasive procedures, such as removing the battery and network card, or storing the phone in a "Faraday box" 1 while he waited for a warrant. The Court decided that the officer's decision to send the cell phone away for forensic analysis "runs afoul" of the third requirement in Fearon, i.e. the tailored search. The following paragraph succinctly expresses the Court's concerns: Sending the phone away for analysis really runs afoul of condition #3 in Fearon. The search of the entire contents of the phone is so vast and extensive it cannot logically be said to be proportional or tailored to the original purpose for searching the phone incidental to arrest to gather evidence of drug trafficking. It is not necessary to go through all the applications on the phone, including all of the holder's personal photos, contacts, calendar, call logs and internet browsing history in order to find evidence of drug trafficking. As such, it cannot reasonably be said that this mobile device data analysis is merely an extension of the police authority to conduct a search of an item seized incident to arrest. The police are not merely looking inside someone's car. They are looking inside someone's life. There being no legitimate purpose tailored to such an invasive search, I find the forensic analysis of the phone constitutes a breach of Hailey Jones' s. 8 Charter right. Ultimately, the Court decided in this particular case to admit the cell phone evidence even though the forensic analysis runs afoul of the third part of the Fearon test. The officer was acting in good faith when he sent the phone for analysis, despite not having a warrant. Significance For Educators The lesson for educators is that the courts are likely to focus on whether a search of a cell phone is tailored. Searches that are not tailored run the risk of being viewed as fishing expeditions that go beyond the purpose of the search. As the Court stated in Jones, a search of a cell phone is not merely looking inside someone's car, but inside their life. Overly broad searches that review personal information will be considered intrusive and invasive. In the criminal context, the risk is that the information would not be admitted as evidence, thus jeopardizing the conviction. For educators, there is a risk that it would be considered unfair or improper to use information obtained during broad searches of a student's cell phone.

Aug 15, 2015. Cat. 4 years. Female. Boarded last week. Dysuria and pollakiuria for the past 5 days.
Black and white cat. (video).
He was in a boarding cattery in Pasir Ris ing for 5 days over the National Day holidays (Aug 5-10). The owners were worried about his illness.
"Are there other cats in the house?" I asked.
"No," the wife said. So this cat would not be stressed out by sharing litter boxes or bullied by other cats. As for toilet, he goes to the squatting toilet bowl to do his business.
I palpated the kidneys. The cat reacted in pain (Video clip). X-rays showed enlarged kidneys (image).
The blood was collected from the jugular vein (video clip). Blood results showed normal kidneys and liver. Only that the platelet count was low at 33 (300-800). The low platelet count could mean that this cat had licked some poisons during boarding. The owners said that the cat's body had a strong stench of urine and smell on return from boarding. These body stains would be toxic and the cat would attempt to groom himself, licking off as much of the toxic contaminants on his body. The toxins entered his blood stream. They caused pain in the bladder and urination.
Treatment was by haemodialysis with IV drip to flush out the toxins in the blood. Antibiotics and painkillers. The cat was boarded for one day and went home on August 16, 2015.
As at Aug 18, 2015, the cat is active and has recovered fully his bladder control.
1. Lifestyle of the cat is as follows:
1.1 Daytime - free to roam in the apartment. Toilet would be the squatting toilet bowl and toilet floor.
Night-time - confined to a small carrier (video). This is to prevent noise nuisance and urine marking. Sometimes he would soil his body with urine and stools overnight.
1.2 Next morning, the cat's body would be washed and cleaned before letting out. Most likely, the boarding cattery would not bother to adopt this lifestyle of cleaning the cat daily.
2. Neutering the male cat would have prevented the caterwauling noises and urine marking. For religious reasons, the owners did not want to do it. So, night confinement to the carrier and daily body cleaning would be performed.
In Singapore, some male dogs are similarly confined to a cage at night to prevent urine marking. Some owners put on pads to cover the back of the dog to contain the urine or prevent urine marking when they are not at home.
The best advice is to neuter the cat or dog at 6 months of age to prevent urine-marking and noise nuisance.
No complaints from the owner as the cat is normal now.

My dear sweet girl,
Someday, I'll tell you about the loves I experienced before you. The men who came and went. The hearts I broke, and those who broke mine. Someday, I'll tell you about the lessons I learned and the mistakes of mine I hope you'll never repeat. But this Valentine's Day, there's something far more important I want to share.
Little girl, I need to make sure you know that you are the love of my life.
From the very first time I laid my eyes on you, I knew: We were meant to be a family. You may not have my eyes or nose, but you absolutely share my sense of humor and in so many ways, you're my little introverted mini me. Your laughter fills my heart with joy and your hugs are pretty much my favorite thing ever. You are cherished, my sweet daughter.
Because of you, because of my desire to be the best mom I can possibly be to you, I am a stronger, fiercer, better version of myself. I fight for us both in a way I never fought for myself. I'm not sure I ever fully knew my worth before you, but being your mommy now, I see it every day in your eyes.
I am valuable. I am worthy. And I am Mommy to a little girl who I have no doubt was meant to make this world a better place.
You are all that is good and right in the universe, little girl. Your smile can light rooms, and your empathy and compassion are astounding for someone so small. You are, hands down, the best gift I've ever been given. I will never stop being grateful for your presence in my life.
It is because of these things, and so many more, that I know an incredible love is waiting to find you in this life. I hope you'll be patient enough to wait for it. To recognize your own worth and hold out for the good you deserve. I hope you'll know that in the years to come, if you're the one who doesn't have a Valentine or who doesn't get a secret letter from the person you like at school, it doesn't mean no one loves you. It doesn't mean there isn't something great waiting for you.
For now though, sweet girl, while you're still small and convinced that Mommy is the best person in the world, I'll continue to relish these moments where you beg me to be your Valentine.
I believe that you will find a way to make your mark on this world. I have no idea how, or what your passion will be, but I know that you are going to touch the lives of those you meet in a thousand different ways. That you are going to inspire love and warmth wherever you go. Because you already do, sweet girl.
I hope you'll know that love sometimes hurts and leaves scars on the heart, but that it should never leave bruises on your body. I hope I do my job in raising you by showing you that love isn't cruel and it doesn't manipulate or judge. I hope you'll know that no matter who you love, I'll love them too—so long as they fill your heart with joy and treat you with the kindness you so deserve.
Most of all, I hope you'll never close yourself off to love or the potential for finding someone new. No matter where you end up, or how many times you fall, I hope you'll keep your heart open and remember how much good there is waiting in this world to find you.
For now, though, sweet girl, while you're still small and convinced that Mommy is the best person in the world, I'll continue to relish these moments where you beg me to be your Valentine. The ones where mine is the hand you want to hold, and when reading books in my lap is your favorite place to be.
I know it won't last forever. I know someday, you'll leave my side to seek bigger and better—to achieve goals and forge relationships I am sure I will be forever proud of.
But this Valentine's Day, I plan to hold you close and remain thankful for you, the greatest love of my life. One day, I might just remind you that I was the first love of yours.
Now, share those chocolates. I got them for us both!
All My Heart,
Your Mommy

How and Why odoo ERP?
Ask the average Company Owner or Manager to define the word "ERP" and he or she is likely to point to a Inventory Management, Accounting, Payroll or some other immediately available legacy system. But if you look up the definition of the word, you'll discover most scholars view the term more broadly to mean "manage your resources like people, assets, raw materials, finance, logistics, production, customer relationship and other practical tasks and that to at Enterprise wide i.e. called Enterprise Resource Planning or in short "ERP" technique or system to solve day to day practical problems of modern business.
In addition to the fact that the word "ERP" meaning is actually much broader than most people realize, there are a few other things that should strike us about this. First, in some respects, "ERP" is almost more of a noun than a verb. While it obviously involves some sort of thing (tool, technique or system) it's the application. Second, note that make a list of what exactly we are trying to achieve while implementing the ERP. Thirdly, be ready for Organization Change Management thing, without which legacy business process cannot be converted to modern business where by your core competency get reduce in the market when trying to sell goods, procure material, manage customer, regain human assets who works rather who runs your business.
Why make this distinction at this juncture? Because there is a long history of software used in company which never materializes the results management is searching for.
The issue here is that simply introducing a new tool, technique or system into company changes nothing unless we first understand the need for it and how to get ROI on its unique capabilities to address your burning issue in production department, inventory department, engineering department, financial department or your human resource department. In the absence of this understanding, implementers tend to rely on techniques they already know.
We at Arista Technologies P. Ltd. uses modern technique to implement. Our steps are concrete and always considering Customer as a Partner in order to achieve the goal and dream of customer there by retaining them for long period. Our steps to implement are as follows.

Music is the art of sound, so let's start by talking about sound. Sound is invisible waves moving through the air around us. In the same way that ocean waves are made of ocean water, sound waves are made of the air (or water or whatever) they are moving through. When something vibrates, it disturbs the air molecules around it. The disturbance moves through the air in waves - each vibration making its own wave in the air - spreading out from the thing that made the sound, just as water waves spread out from a stone that's been dropped into a pond. You can see a short animation of a noise being created here .
Surf rolling down a beach, leaves rustling in the wind, a book thudding on a desk, or a plate crashing on the floor all make sounds, but these sounds are not music. Music is sound that's organized by people on purpose, to dance to, to tell a story, to make other people feel a certain way, or just to sound pretty or be entertaining.
Music is organized on many different levels. Sounds can be arranged into notes , rhythms , textures and phrases . Melodies can be organized into anything from a simple song to a complex symphony. Beats , measures , cadences , and form all help to keep the music organized and understandable. But the most basic way that music is organized is by arranging the actual sound waves themselves so that the sounds are interesting and pleasant and go well together.
A rhythmic, organized set of thuds and crashes is perfectly good music - think of your favorite drum solo - but many musical instruments are designed specifically to produce the regular, evenly spaced waves that we hear as particular pitches (musical notes). Crashes, thuds, and bangs are loud, short jumbles of lots of different wavelengths. The sound of surf, rustling leaves, or bubbles in a fish tank are also white noise , the term that scientists and engineers use for sounds that are mixtures of all the different wavelengths (just as white light is made of all the different wavelengths, or colors, of light).
A tone (the kind of sound you might call a musical note) is a specific kind of sound. The vibrations that cause it are very regular - all the same size and same distance apart. Musicians have terms that they use to describe tones. But this kind of (very regular) wave is useful for things other than music, so scientists and engineers also have terms that describe tonal sound waves. It can be very useful to know both the scientific and the musical terms and how they are related to each other.
For example, the closer together the waves of a tonal sound are, the higher the note sounds. Musicians talk about the pitch of the sound, or name specific notes , or talk about tuning . Scientists and engineers, on the other hand, talk about the frequency and the wavelength of the sound. They are all essentially talking about the same thing. The scientific terms aren't necessary for the musician, but they can be very helpful in understanding and talking about what's happening when people make music.

We've all had that moment where we sat in professional development and wondered what we were doing there. There is nothing I find more frustrating then sitting in PD that teaches me something I already know. I try not to complain, and instead try to help those that are struggling, but we all know that we want more.
One way to address this is to restructure our professional development days. Prior to leaving my last position, we developed a Choose Your Own Adventure type of professional development afternoon. The instructional coach, principal, and I wanted to provide meaningful learning opportunities for the faculty on an early dismissal afternoon. The structure of the day allowed teachers to choose two hour long sessions that would be beneficial to them.
In preparation for this day, we surveyed staff to find out areas of professional development interest. We had a few topic possibilities and asked for their suggestions as well. The survey results were then examined and topics narrowed down. Five different sessions were offered during each hour. We, along with other teacher leaders, led these sessions. We did have teachers sign up in advance, because we were using computer labs that had limited space, and we wanted to be sure we could accommodate everyone.
This is easy to organize and is a great way to show that you are a leader in your building. Plus, it has the added benefit of being a collaborative effort. I encourage you to also market this PD. While it may be required, market it in a way that really creates some excitement among your faculty.

The teaser starts with glimpses of SRK's phenomenal fan following across the globe and then shifts focus to 'a superstars' sabse bada fan
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan shared the first teaser of his upcoming film Fan on microblogging site Twitter:
The teaser starts with glimpses showing Shah Rukh's phenomenal fan following across the globe – shots include fans swarming at the gate of his Mumbai residence, Mannat and waiting for his glimpse at his concerts. Fans dressed like his character roles, and those who broke down when Shah Rukh simply 'touched' them.
It also included ear-numbing shouts when Shah Rukh struck his signature pose.
From that the scene shifts focus to sabse bade superstar ka sabse bada fan. We don't get to see his face, but we know who he is as the screen fades just as he prepares to pose in SRK's signature style.
YRF also revealed the film's release date – April 15, next year. Like a common fan, this too is a common date and no big festive release. Earlier the film was slated to release on August 14.
The film is directed by Maneesh Sharma of Band Baaja Baaraat fame.
