Jet Li Builds House for Carter Work Project; Another House Named Cory Freedom House

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:31:08 -0600

Habitat For Humanity's Carter Work Project led by former US President Jimmy Carter and wife Rosalynn, together with Asian celebrities like Jet Li, and over 3000 volunteers have built and repaired 166 homes along the Mekong River which runs in four countries namely Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos

Jet Li was seen building a house last Tuesday (November 16) and has signed a memorandum of understanding outlining a partnership between Habitat for Humanity Asia Pacific and his One Foundation.

Li stated: "I believe government has a responsibility, corporations have a responsibility, and regular citizens have a responsibility." He further stated: "We should all help each other. Everybody can do a little bit. … Everybody has a wonderful heart. They just need to know how to help."

A couple of days after (November 19), Maria Elena "Ballsy" Cruz-Aquino, the daughter of former Philippines President Cory Aquino, together with 30+ Filipino volunteers, was also seen building a house in honor of her late mom. Jimmy Carter himself has named the house "Cory Freedom House."

The two former presidents had known each other back in the late 70s/early 80s when Carter had talked to the then Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos to spare Cory's husband, Ninoy, from firing squad.

Kanchit Suthimetheesakul, the future homeowner of the dubbed Cory Freedom House, has shown excitement in finally owning a house. His wife, Nasee, has stated of his husband: "He's too happy. He's overflowing with happiness. We never dreamed of having our own house." Nasee further said: "I don't want the house to be completed yet, because I want everybody to stay longer., When it is done, this will be everybody’s house, not just ours. We are all friends now."

Why are some t-shirts better than others?

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:00:15 -0600

Size Differences:

Sizing differs dramatically from brand to brand. Not only does the general size change significantly, but the length and width proportions vary as well. Your figure and style will determine what brand will give you the best fit. Check out our sizing guide for details.

Fabric

Fabric determines many factors about a t-shirt, such as how well a t-shirt will hold its shape after wearing and washing. T-shirts can be made from 1x1 baby rib, jersey material, cotton spandex, among many others. If you want a t-shirt that is soft and flexible you may want to try fine jersey. If you seek a durable heavy fabric, interlock is a good option for you. Polyester/cotton blends are a favorite because they don't shrink in the wash or fade in the sun. To learn more about fabrics visit our fabric sample guide courtesy of American Apparel.

Color

Different brands offer different color options. Some companies such as American Apparel offer trendy colors and styles while others such as Hanes provide a spectrum of colors. Some brands offer color combinations that are more appropriate for corporate wear. Visit manufacturer websites to browse color options.

How to print on T-shirts- I -What is screen printing?

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:53:40 -0600

Screens are basically stencils that are used to print directly onto clothing.

The first step in producing the screens which will enable us to print directly on the garments is to produce the films. Once your artwork is a suitable format i.e. vector based, which is created using a program such as Illustrator or Corel Draw then the artwork is broken down into layers, depending on how many colors are in your design. Once the artwork has been broken down into layers, each layer is then printed onto a clear film in black.

The next step is to prepare the screens ready to receive the artwork. Screens are produced using a mesh that is pulled tightly around a frame. The mesh is coated with a chemical that when put under a UV light turns hard. Once the mesh has been coated with the chemical the film and the screen are placed under a UV light, leaving the printed area of the film still in a soft state on the screen. When the screen is removed from the UV light the remaining chemical is washed off leaving the image on the screen.

This process is repeated for each color in a design.

Once all the screens have been produced the screens will then be fitted on the printing carousel. The colors are then applied to the t-shirt individually. The screens are pulled down and the ink is dragged across allowing the ink to penetrate the uncoated area on the screen. The screen is then lifted and the lower part of the carousel is moved around and the next t-shirt is waiting to be printed.

Its best to use light colored t-shirts for printing so that the print comes neat.

Happy Printing !

How to print on T-shirts- II -What is Vinyl Printing?

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:52:54 -0600

Vinyl printing is when a sheet of polyurethane (pu) vinyl is cut to produce a design which is then heat applied to the garments.

Vinyl printing is a method of printing that is generally limited to a 1 color print. The artwork is required in a vector format which is produced in a software package i.e. Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw, this artwork format produces the design in lines as opposed to pixels as in a jpeg image.

The artwork is sent in mirror image to the vinyl cutter, which is very much like a large printer, however instead of using ink it uses a blade. Once the image has been etched into the vinyl, the vinyl can then be removed from the cutter. The excess vinyl surrounding the image can be weeded (removed) from the backing sheet, once this has removed you will be left with your design.

The design is now ready to be applied to the garment using a heat press. The approx temperature of the heat press to apply the image is 160c, this does vary depending on the garment and the vinyl used. The garment is placed on the heat press base plate and the image can then be placed in the appropriate position on the garment, the heat clamp is then closed for approximately 10-15 seconds and then released. The backing film can now be removed from the garment and you are left with your design.

Its best to use dark colored t-shirts for printing so that the print comes neat.

Happy Printing !

Ben Thomas

Ninja Assassin to be released on Thanksgiving

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:47:54 -0600

Thanksgiving is a time for giving, a time to stuff your face with turkey. However, what if we said that it is finally the time for the Ninja Assassin to unveil himself?

Ninja Assassin will be released worldwide in theaters starting November 25, 2009, a day prior to Thanksgiving.

Ninja Assassin tells a story about Raizo (Rain) being one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them...and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East.

Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Maslow), Mika (Naomie Harris) digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi, to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.

Here's the official trailer of Ninja Assassin courtesy of Warners Bros.
