i my self are a t-shirt entrepreneur and wanna share how to make a t-shirt so i search about how to make a t-shirt at madehow, they explained how to make t-shirt clearly and very complete. check this out

Background

T-shirts are durable, versatile garments with mass appeal that may be worn as outerwear or underwear. Since their creation in 1920, T-shirts have evolved into a two-billion dollar market. T-shirts are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and styles, such as the standard crew neck and V-neck, as well as tank tops and scoop necks. T-shirt sleeves may be short or long, capped, yoked, or raglan. Additional features include pockets and decorative trim. T-shirts are also popular garments on which to display one’s interests, tastes, and affiliations using customized screen prints or heat transfers. Printed shirts may feature political slogans, humor, art, sports, as well as famous people and places. T-shirts are also inexpensive promotional vehicles for products and special events.

T-shirts fit just about anyone in any size, from infants to seniors. Adult sizes are generally small, medium, large, and extra-large, while sizes for toddlers are detennined by month and weight. In addition, to compensate for the larger heads of infants relative to their bodies, shirts are specially designed with shoulder openings that may be fastened with buttons or snaps.

Raw Material

The majority of T-shirts are made of 100% cotton, polyester, or a cotton/polyester blend. Environmentally conscious manufacturers may use organically grown cotton and natural dyes. Stretchable T-shirts are made of knit fabrics, especially jerseys, rib knits, and interlock rib knits, which consist of two ribbed fabrics that are joined together. Jerseys are most frequently used since they are versatile, comfortable, and relatively inexpensive. They also are a popular material for applying screen prints and heat transfers. Some jerseys come in tubular form, simplifying the production process by reducing the number of seams. Rib knit fabrics are often used when a snugger fit is desired. Many higher quality T-shirts are made of durable interlock rib knit fabrics.

Neckbands add support to the garment and give the neckline of the T-shirt a more finished look. Neckbands are generally one-by-one inch rib knits, although heavier fabrics or higher quality T-shirts may require two-by-two rib knits. Neckband fabrics may be tubed rib knits of specific widths, or flat fabric that must be seamed. Additional T-shirt materials include tape or seam binding, made of a twill or another stiff fabric. Binding reinforces the neckline and shoulder seams and by covering the seams, it protects them from ripping apart under tension. Alternatively, elastic may be used at the shoulder seams so they remain flexible.

Thread is of course an essential element in sewing any garment. Several types and colors of thread may be used to make a single T-shirt. Some manufacturers use white thread for seams on all their shirts, regardless of color, thus eliminating the extra labor involved in changing the thread. Visible topstitching is done with a color of thread that blends with the fabric. Colorless, or monofilament, thread could be used for hems of any color fabric, again eliminating the need to change thread often, though monofilament thread may irritate the skin somewhat. Finally, optional decorative features may include trim, such as braiding,

contrasting cuffs, appliqués, and heat transfer or screen print designs.

The Manufacturing Process

Making T-shirts is a fairly simple and largely automated process. Specially designed machines integrate cutting, assembling, and stitching for the most efficient operations. The most commonly used seams for T-shirts are narrow, superimposed seams, which are usually made by placing one piece of fabric onto another and lining up the seam edges. These seams are frequently stitched with an overedge stitch, which requires one needle thread from above and two looper threads from below. This particular seam and stitch combination results in a flexible finished seam.

Another type of seam that may be used for T-shirts are bound seams, in which a narrow piece of fabric is folded around a seam, as at the neckline. These seams may be stitched together using a lockstitch, chainstitch, or overedge stitch. Depending on the style of the T-shirt, the order in which the garment is assembled may vary slightly.

Styling

1 The T-shirt style is designed and the dimensions are transferred to patterns. Adjustments are made for size differences and stylistic preferences.

Cutting

2 The T-shirt sections are cut to the dimensions of the patterns. The pieces consist of a tubed body, or separate front and back sections, sleeves, perhaps pockets, and trim.

Assembling the front and back

3 For fabric that is not tubed, the separate pieces for the front and back sections must be stitched together at the sides. They are joined at the seam lines to form a simple, narrow, superimposed seam and stitched together using an overedge stitch. Care must be taken to avoid a needle cutting the yarn of the fabric, which can lead to tears in the garment.

Assembling the sleeves

4 The hems of sleeves are generally finished before they are fitted into the garment, since it is easier to hem the fabric while it is flat. An automated system moves the sleeves to the sewing head by conveyor. The edge may be finished by folding it over, forming the hem and stitching, or by applying a band. The band may be attached as a superimposed seam or folded over the edge as binding.
5 If the T-shirt body is tubular, the sleeve material is first sewn together, and then set into the garment. Alternatively, if the T-shirt is “cut and sewn,” the unseamed sleeve is set into place. Later during the final stage of sewing the shirt, the sleeve and side seams are sewn in one action.

Stitching the hem

6 The garment hem is commonly sewn with an overedge stitch, resulting in a flexible hem. The tension of the stitch should be loose enough to allow stretching the garment without tearing the fabric. Alternative hem styles include a combination of edge finishing stitches.

Adding pockets

7 Pockets may be sewn onto T-shirts intended for casual wear. Higher quality T-shirts will insert an interlining into the pocket so that it maintains its shape. The interlining is inserted into the pocket as it is sewn onto the T-shirt front. Pockets may be attached to the garment with automated setters, so the operator only has to arrange the fabric pieces, and the mechanical setter positions the pocket and stitches the seam.

Stitching the shoulder seams

8 Generally, shoulder seams require a simple superimposed seam. Higher quality T-shirt manufacturers may reinforce seams with tape or elastic. Depending on the style of the T-shirt, the seams at the shoulder may be completed before or after the neckband is attached. For instance, if a tubular neckband is to be applied, the shoulder seams must first be closed.

Attaching the neckband

9 For crew neck shirts, the neck edge should be slightly shorter in circumference than the outer edge where it is attached to the garment. Thus, the neckband must be stretched just the right amount to prevent bulging. Tubular neckbands are applied manually. The bands are folded, wrong sides together, stretched slightly, and aligned with the neckline. The superimposed seam is stitched with an overedge stitch.Bound seams are finished with a cover stitch and are easy to achieve. Bound seams may be used on a variety of neckline styles. The process entails feeding ribbed fabric through machines which fold the fabric and apply tension to it.Some neckbands on lower-priced shirts are attached separately to the front and back necklines of the garment. Thus when the shoulder seams are stitched, seams are visible on the neckband.
V-necks require the extra step of either lapping or mitering the neckband. In the former process, one side is folded over the other. A mitered seam is more complex, requiring an operator to overlap the band accurately and stitch the band at center front. An easier method for a V-neck look is to attach the band to the neckline and then sew a tuck to form a V.

Finishing the neckline

10 Necklines with superimposed seams may be taped, so that the shirt is stronger and more comfortable. Tape may be extended across the back and over the shoulder seams to reinforce this area as well and to flatten the seam. The seam is then cover stitched or top stitched.

Label setting

11 One or more labels are usually attached at the back of the neckline. Labels provide information about the manufacturer, size, fabric content, and washing instructions.

Optional features

12 Some T-shirts will have trim or screen prints added for decorative purposes. Special T-shirts for infants have larger openings at the head. The shoulder seams are left open near the neck, and buttons or other fasteners are attached.

Finishing operations

13 T-shirts are inspected for flaws in the fabric, stitching, and thread.
14 High-quality T-shirts may be pressed through steam tunnels before they are packaged. Packaging depends on the type of T-shirt and the intended distribution outlet. For underwear, the shirts are folded and packaged in pre-printed bags, usually of clear plastic, that list information about the product. Shirts may be boarded, or folded around a piece of cardboard, so that they maintain their shape during shipping and on the shelf. Finally, they are placed into boxes by the dozen or half-dozen.

Quality Control

Most of the operations in manufacturing clothing are regulated by federal and inter-national guidelines. Manufacturers may also set guidelines for the company. There are standards that apply specifically to the T-shirt industry, which include proper sizing and fit, appropriate needles and seams, types of stitches, and the number of stitches per inch. Stitches must be loose enough to allow the garment to stretch without breaking the seam. Hems must be flat and wide enough to prevent curling. T-shirts must also be inspected for proper application of neck-lines, which should rest flat against the body. The neckline should also recover properly after being slightly stretched.

Future

Exposure to sun’s harmful rays has become a concern to many people who enjoy outdoor activities. In addition to sunscreen and sun glasses, sun-blocking T-shirts are now available. Founded by Harvey Schakowsky, SPF Wear company has introduced a line of clothing, including T-shirts, that blocks out 93-99% of ultraviolet rays. A typical T-shirt blocks out only 50% of the rays. Using a fabric called Solarweave, these new T-shirts are made out of synthetically woven nylon treated with a special chemical substance.

how to solve rubik’s cube 3×3 in simple way

daydaily.com — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:03:47 +0000

When solved, every face of Rubik’s Cube is a solid color. Once you start turning, twisting and flipping, it’s easy to mix up the colors. Not to worry – Rubik’s Cube can be set right from any mixed-up combination. The following steps will help you solve the puzzle.

When you play with the cube you turn its LAYERS, but you want to make the FACES have solid colors. There are 26 CUBES on the outside of Rubik’s Cube and an invisible “cubie” – which is a rotating mechanism – in the middle. There are 8 corner cubes with 3 colors, and 12 edge cubes with two colors. There are 6 center cubes with one color. The center cubes cannot move, being FIXED. So, if you have the original Rubik’s Cube, the blue center cube is always opposite the green, red is opposite orange, and yellow is opposite white. The color of the center cube determines the color of that face.

Note: we use the color arrangement of the original Rubik’s cube because this is the one Erno Rubik prefers. (i.e. blue is opposite green, red opposite orange, and yellow is opposite to white; if the blue side is on the top, then the red is on the left and the yellow on the right, and so on), The new Rubik’s Cubes currently sold in stores and online are colored differently (i.e. blue is opposite to white, green is opposite to yellow, and red is opposite to orange). If you have a new Rubik’s Cube for all the moves below take it in your hands so that the front face with the logo is towards you.

NOTATION

Moves:

	Turn the front face clockwise (if you have the cube in your hands so that that face is towards you – this also applies to the turns below).		Turn the front face anti-clockwise.
	Turn the back face clockwise.		Turn the back face anti-clockwise.
	Turn the right face clockwise.		Turn the right face anti-clockwise.
	Turn the left face clockwise.		Turn the left face anti-clockwise.
	Turn the top face clockwise.		Turn the top face anti-clockwise.
	Turn the bottom face clockwise.		Turn the bottom face anti-clockwise.

THE SOLUTION

1. Now form a cross on the top of the Rubik’s Cube so that the colors of the edge cubes match the colors of the center cubes!

Usually it is relatively easy to position the edge cubes of the top layer in only 2 or 3 moves. The easiest way is first to put the edge cube to the bottom layer below its place, turning away the middle layer and the layer which is opposite the layer where it will fit. Then move the edge cube to the top, and back the layers you moved away. Then position the top layer again (it may be turned away).

2. Position the edge cubes of the middle layer with your chosen color orientation!

Use the EDGE SWITCHER or the EDGE SWITCHER WITH FLIP sequence. If you want only to flip two neighboring edge cubes, but you don’t want to change their color orientation, use the EDGE SWITCHER sequence. Find an edge cube on the middle layer. The colors of two center cubes determine the colors of an edge cube. The edge cubes that belong to the middle layer will now be in the middle or bottom layer.

The EDGE SWITCHER sequence.
Hold the cube like this before performing this sequence. This sequence swaps two edge cubes, but keeps the colors untouched. It forces two corner cubes on the bottom layer to switch as well, but we need not consider them for the moment. The sequence keeps every other cube in place.

The moves of the EDGE SWITCHER sequence (advance from left to right):

If you want to flip the cubes as well, use the EDGE SWITCHER WITH FLIP sequence.

The EDGE SWITCHER WITH FILIP sequence
Hold the cube like this before performing the moves. This sequence switches two edge cubes changes their color orientation, and forces two corner cubes to switch as well, but we won’t consider that right now. The sequence keeps every other cube in place.

The moves of the EDGE SWITCHER WITH FLIP sequence (advance from left to right):

2.1. If the edge cube of the middle layer is in the correct spot but the color orientation is wrong, move it to the bottom layer with an EDGE SWITCHER, then back with the appropriate EDGE SWITCHER sequence.

2.2. To position an edge cube, which is just next to its place in the bottom layer, use the EDGE SWITCHER once, or the EDGE SWITCHER WITH FLIP sequence if you want to change the color-succession as well.

2.3. If the edge cube you want to position is not beside its place, but two steps away on the bottom layer (see the image below, where the cube has been turned to illustrate the solution clearly so that the original bottom layer is on the top), use the EDGE SWITCHER sequence to move it next to its place. Alternatively you can use a simple quarter twist of the down face (you can unscramble it later). Now go to 2.2.

2.4. If the edge cube you would like to position is opposite its location in the middle layer, then you have to move it to the bottom layer next to its place using the EDGE SWITCHER sequence (to illustrate the image below turns the whole cube so that the original top layer – with the blue center cube – is the back layer). Then go to 2.1.

2.5. The last alternative case is that the edge cube is on the other side of your Rubik’s Cube in the middle layer. In this case you have to use the sequence to move it closer to it’s correct spot, and then place the edge cube next to its correct spot with a quarter twist or an EDGE SWITCHER. Then another EDGE SWITCHER to solve the cube.

Now your cube must look like this:

3. Place the edge cubes of the bottom layer in correct color orientation!

To achieve this use one of the two EDGE SWITCHER sequences without forgetting that now you have to position the 4 bottom edge cubes and work on the bottom layer only!

Hold your cube like this before performing an EDGE SWITCHER sequence. In this image the two edge cubes of the bottom layer can be seen on the right, as the whole cube has been turned left.

First check whether or not you can use one or two simple quarter twists to position cubes.

There are two cases:
3.1. The edge cube you would like to position should be just next to where you want it. Use the EDGE SWITCHER (or the EDGE SWITCHER WITH FLIP sequence, if you want to change the color-orientation as well) once you have turned the whole cube as indicated in the image above.

3.2. If the edge cube is opposite where you want it, use the EDGE SWITCHER to position it next to its place, and then perform this or the EDGE SWITCHER WITH FLIP sequence depending whether you want to change colors as well.

If you have completed these sequences, your cube should bear a crusader’s cross on every face. It is possible that some corner cubes are in their correct spots with matching colors as well, that’s fine.

4. Place the corner cubes, but don’t worry about their orientation yet!

The SWITCH THREE CORNERS sequence will help you.

The SWITCH THREE CORNERS sequence.
Hold the cube like this before performing this sequence. This sequence switches three corners, but keeps every other cube untouched.

The moves of the SWITCH THREE CORNERS sequence (advance from left to right):

Again there are a number of possible starting patterns:
4.1. If you have two neighboring corners you can position them using the SWITCH THREE CORNERS sequence (do not worry about the color orientation). Be sure to hold the whole cube so that the three corner cubes you want to switch are on top before performing the sequence.

4.2. If there is only a center cube “between” the corner cube and its correct place perform the SWITCH THREE CORNERS sequence, do this twice if you want to keep the fourth cube “behind” the three moving cubes during the sequence.

4.3. If the corner cube is not in the same layer, use the SWITCH THREE CORNERS sequence twice. First to move the corner to the same layer, and then go to 4.2. or 4.1. to perform one or two more sequences. Turn your Rubik’s Cube so the 3 corners are on the top before each SWITCH THREE CORNERS move sequence.

Having completed that move the 8 corner cubes will be in the correct spot. Some of them will have the right color orientation; most of them won’t!

5. Finally correct the colors of the corner cubes!

Use the CORNER FLIPPER RIGHT or CORNER FLIPPER LEFT sequence. The CORNER FLIPPER RIGHT rotates one corner cube clockwise in place, and forces the next corner to rotate in the other direction. The CORNER FLIPPER LEFT rotates one corner cube anti-clockwise in its place, and forces the next corner to rotate in the other direction. Note that the CORNER FLIPPER RIGHT is equal to two CORNER FLIPPER LEFTs; so if you only want to learn 4 move sequences instead of 5, you can leave out one of the two CORNER FLIPPER sequences.

The CORNER FLIPPER RIGHT move sequence. Hold the whole cube like this before performing the sequence. Make sure the corner cube you want to make the right color is at the front!

The moves of the CORNER FLIPPER RIGHT sequence (advance from left to right):

The CORNER FLIPPER LEFT sequence. Hold the whole cube like this before performing the sequence. Make sure the corner cube you want to make the right color is at the front!

The moves of the CORNER FLIPPER LEFT sequence (advance from left to right):

Here you have to advance step by step zigzagging through the corner cubes. Choose the first to correct randomly or start next to an already correct corner.

There are three possibilities here:
5.1. If only one of the two corners rotated with the sequence gets the right color orientation, turn your Rubik’s Cube so that the remaining wrong color corner cube is on the front at the top.

5.2. If both corner cubes get the right color orientation, use the sequence on one after the other of the corner cubes. Hold the whole cube carefully.

5.3. If two opposite corner cubes are the wrong colors, but the other two corners of the same layer are right, don’t get frustrated. Use one of the CORNER FLIPPER sequences on one of the wrong and on one of the right corner cubes. This will make one corner right and the other corner wrong. Use the sequence on the corner that is now wrong and the corner that was wrong.

Ensure the cube you want to color-orientate is at the front and on top.

When only two corner cubes have the wrong color-orientation both will be OK if you have used the proper CORNER FLIPPER sequence. If you have done that you have solved the cube.

CONGRATULATIONS!

rocket crayons

daydaily.com — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:49:18 +0000

An inventor with a penchant for explosives has designed a set of rockets in the shape of a giant box of crayons.

John Coker has always enjoyed building things that explode and after a friend mentioned that his creations looked like Crayola crayons he started building the crayon-shaped rockets.

Mr Coker started building the colourful rockets in 1998 as one of his first projects.

John Coker in Nevada’s Black Rock desert where he tested his crayon rockets

Lift-off: Mr Coker’s rockets are launched, but only four of the eight take off

Work resumed in August 2004, and more than six years later, the project was finally completed.

He recently headed out to Nevada’s Black Rock desert to test them out.

Based on the small eight-pack of crayons, the three-and-a-half foot long rockets were launched from a box designed to look like the classic yellow and green Crayola box.

But, despite looking like child’s play, the mission was only a partial success with just four of the eight rockets blasting into the sky.

Inexplicably, the green, brown, yellow and orange crayons remained in the box.

Of the four rockets that went off, the violet crayon was found with a broken fin.The other three were found without major damage.

The wacky inventor stands proudly with his rockets

Inexplicably, the green, brown, yellow and orange crayons remained in the box

Mr Coker has hinted that he will test the crayon-shaped rockets again.

Mr Coker said: ‘I used to enjoy building rockets when I was a kid, but after a 20-year absence I found a much-expanded hobby with much larger, more exciting and more dangerous rockets for bigger boys.

‘Since a friend pointed out that my rockets looked like a crayon, I’ve had the idea in back of my mind to build a crayon rocket.

‘Not just a crayon rocket, but a pack of Crayola crayon rockets.

‘On the day, the crayons went pretty high and we think they got to 2928 feet.

‘This was a great project and the flight was a crowd pleaser. It was a shame that only four of the rockets flew.’

It would seem the rockets are a one-off and given the length of time it took Mr Coker to make one pack, you can see why.

Preparing for launch: Mr Coker makes final adjustments to the project he started in 1998

daydaily.com — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:07:21 +0000

Are you fascinated by global indigenous culture and biodiversity? Then take a look at New Zealand tours by Auckland tourism company TIME Unlimited Tours.

Recently, the company won the global Indigenous Tourism and Biodiversity Website Award 2010, a collaboration between Planeta.com and the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity/UNEP (CBD) and Heidehof Foundation.

This award is presented to an indigenous tourism operation “which has a website that promotes sustainable practices and educates visitors on cultural protocols and biodiversity conservation.”

TIME Unlimited Tours was established in 2005 by couple Ceillhe and Néill Sperath (above). Ceillhe Tewhare Teneti Hema Sperath is tangata whenua, a direct descendant of the famous Ngapuhi chief Patuone. Néill is tauiwi, of Irish and German origin. The TIME in TIME Unlimited Tours is an acronym for “To Integrate Maori Experiences”.

Says Ceillhe Sperath:

“TIME Unlimited Tours is founded on three essential pou, or pillars, of Maoritanga (Maori culture); manaakitanga (hospitality), whakawhanaungatanga (relationships) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship). On their tours, Manaakitanga translates into welcoming, respectful, caring, reliable and punctual service. Whanaungatanga means sharing experiences, finding common ground, forging links, making friends and becoming like family. Kaitiakitanga means ensuring respect, care and protection for the environment – the streets, parks and institutions, the land, beaches, sea and bush that they pass through.”

The company’s guided tours available in Auckland, New Zealand include:

Auckland Personal Guided Tours.

Auckland Maori Tours.

Interactive Maori Culture Experiences.

Guided Wilderness Walks.

Kayak Fishing Tours.

new zealand tourism resort

daydaily.com — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:58:02 +0000

I used to be only dimly aware of New Zealand, imagining it as somewhat of Australia’s Canada; close to Australia, similar to Australia, just not quite the same. After spending five months of the last year in New Zealand I’ve come to know it quite a bit better, finally learning why Peter Jackson chose it as the location of Tolkin’s Middle Earth.

New Zealand tourism received a huge boost from the Lord of the Rings trilogy since so many fans saw the amazing scenery in the films and wanted to know more about where it was filmed. One of the main reasons the Trilogy was so beneficial to New Zealand tourism was that it was filmed in so many locations. A number of guidebooks are available to show the enterprising fan around the country, pointing out all of the shooting locations for the film. Many private businesses that helped transport those working on the film to the various locations are now more than happy to transport fans to the same places for a fee. LOTR travel has become a great boon to New Zealand tourism; even though most people don’t travel to New Zealand explicitly to see the shooting locations many of them will take side-trips to see the locations for some of their favorite scenes.

Though the Lord of the Rings tourism has helped the country’s economy considerably, the biggest boost to New Zealand tourism has come from the advent of adventure tourism. These days taking a vacation no longer means merely hanging around on a cruise ship or traveling to a nice beach where you can lay around, drink cocktails with little umbrellas in them and maybe read a book. More and more people, especially younger travelers, are looking for a little more adrenaline in their vacations. New Zealand had jumped at the opportunity to provide travelers with all sorts of adventure opportunities. Near Rotorua you can go zorbing, which consists of sliding into what amounts to a giant hamster ball and rolling yourself down a hill. Many companies provide jet-boat rides up whitewater rivers and through tight canyons at breakneck speeds. You can toss yourself off the highest bungee jump in the world or take part in world class whitewater rafting. The Waitomo area offers a huge host of caving opportunities, from the board-walked tourist caves to rappelling and sliding through mud and water to explore extensive underground labyrinths. Though this new breed of New Zealand tourism may not give you any trouble finding adventure, you may have a bit of trouble fitting it all in.

You go in to see 3 Idiots expecting the genius combination of Hirani and Aamir Khan to weave magic on screen.

But despite the mental conditioning, the impact of the film is so overwhelming that it leaves you spellbound for hours after it has ended.

Based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel, Five Point Someone (though only a miniscule part has been adapted from the book; the rest is all original), here’s a story of three friends studying in an engineering college Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (R Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi).

Rancho is the rebel among them always questioning things and believing that learning is more than just the usual mode of education.

He encourages his friends to look beyond the ordinary and soon earns the wrath of the college director Viru Sahasrabuddhe (Boman Irani).

Despite his fun and frolic, Rancho always surprises everyone by topping the class. He even manages to win the affections of the director’s daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor). But Rancho’s greatest contribution lies is making his friends realise their true calling.

The twist comes when on Graduation Day. After being awarded the Student Of The Year title, Rancho mysteriously disappears into oblivion.

Years later, Farhan and Raju, finding a common thread, embark on a journey to find their friend. 3 Idiots is a story of friendship, hope, aspirations and most importantly, the goodness of life.

With 3 Idiots, Rajkumar Hirani proves beyond doubt that there’s no better storyteller than him in the present generation.

This isn’t an easy film to make the interplay between characters and the narrative is interestingly woven.

The film switches from present to flashback mode often but not once does Hirani lose the momentum. The medley of emotions that he brings forth as he establishes the film’s structure is indeed commendable.

Like the peppy Aal Izz Well song drawing towards a tragic climax it’s so cleverly done that it has the desired effect. There are scenes that’ll make you laugh, they’ll make you cry and they’ll make you think.

Hirani does it all so beautifully that you want to go back to college and relive all those moments.

The falling in love, the harassment by professors, the secret drinking sessions, the ragging of fellow students it’s all there.

Hirani also sends across a message on student pressures but there’s no preaching here it’s all done in his inimitable style.

Most films have their own set of ‘highlight’ scenes.

3 Idiots is different because every scene is special and brings with it something that’s out of the ordinary.

But there are a few that have a far lasting impact the entire ragging sequence; the camaraderie between Rancho and Pia; Chatur’s (the ‘brainy’ student) hilarious speech; the entire black-and-white depiction of Raju’s family; most of the scenes between Rancho and Viru; the sequences that lead to Raju’s recovery in the hospital and many more. After a point, you just stop counting.

Dialogues are snappy and totally effective (“In India, you get a pizza in 30 minutes guaranteed but not an ambulance”). The soundtrack, background score and cinematography is top class.

Among the performances, Madhavan delivers his most retrained act ever. He takes the film back and forth with his narrative and is splendid even with comedy.

Sharman Joshi is brilliant, especially in his breakdown scenes. Boman Irani is sincere as expected, with his lisp act getting all the right nuances.

Kareena Kapoor gives her finest portrayal in recent times as Pia. Her “dhokla, fafda, thepla, khandwa, khakra” scene is simply too delicious. Here’s a performance that proves why she’s indeed the best we have.

The life and soul of 3 Idiots is of course Aamir Khan. His perfection lies in the fact that he makes everything look so easy and spontaneous.

And at all the right moments, he brings the film alive with his sheer brilliance. From his look to his walk to his manner of speech, Aamir breathes life into Rancho and that’s what stays with us.

If you thought Aamir Khan couldn’t get any better than he is, think again. Aamir is the heart and soul of 3 Idiots and he proves why he’s simply a class apart.

What To Do: Book your tickets for consecutive shows because one viewing isn’t enough to savour 3 Idiots. Quite easily, this is the film of the year. Nothing else comes even close.

Facts about Indonesia’s Sri Mulyani Indrawati | indonesia finance minister

daydaily.com — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 10:43:24 +0000

The role of Indonesia’s reformist finance minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati, in the bailout of a small bank will be debated by parliament on Wednesday following months of hearings by a committee.

A committee probing the 2008 bailout of Bank Century on Tuesday handed two conflicting recommendations to parliament. One found the bailout was justified, the other called for a criminal investigation into Indrawati and Vice President Boediono.

Here are five facts about Indrawati:

* Indrawati, 47, ranks among the most powerful women in the region and is one of the few Indonesian policymakers with an international profile.

* As finance minister, she has cleaned up the corrupt tax and customs departments by introducing more transparent practices, firing those caught taking bribes, and even springing surprise raids on staff to keep them honest.

Her policy of increasing tax collection to boost state revenues has earned her many enemies among the business elite who are now under pressure to pay up — particularly after the tax office published a list of the 100 top tax dodgers which included a coal firm controlled by tycoon and politician Aburizal Bakrie.

* During her time as finance minister, Southeast Asa’s largest economy has become a member of the Group of 20 leading economies and is one of the fastest growing ones in the region, partly thanks to the combination of sound economic policies and a more stable political situation.

Fitch upgraded Indonesia’s sovereign credit rating to one notch below investment grade in January. It is expected to achieve the coveted investment grade within a couple of years and join Brazil, Russia, India and China — the BRICs — as a member of the emerging market elite.

* On the downside, she has been less successful in going after some of the Suharto-era figures facing accusations of corruption, and has met resistance from less reform-minded cabinet colleagues and coalition politicians, particularly Bakrie, the tycoon who heads the Golkar Party.

Her decision to rescue Bank Century in 2008 in order to avert a wider financial crisis was the subject of a highly politicised parliamentary inquiry that has now handed its recommendations to the house of parliament.

* She got her doctorate in economics from the University of Illinois, lectured at Georgia University on Indonesia’s economy, and was an executive director of the International Monetary Fund representing 12 economies in Southeast Asia from 2002-2004.

how to monetize your blog or website

daydaily.com — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 23:52:40 +0000

here i brought you a simple tips to monetize your blog so you can can get a few dollar from internet and then you can start renovate your living room design . this tips are taken from another website, don’t mind to copy it but i hope it is useful to all daydaily.com readers. the tips will be explained in ten points.

I’m co-leading a discussion session at Wordcamp about Monetizing Blogs, so I thought I’d also touch on it here with a post about 10 Ways to Monetize Your Blog.

First, I should preface this discussion by saying you first need to seriously evaluate whether you want to work at monetizing your blog. Steve Pavlina has a very thorough post that goes over what’s necessary to really do this well, and why the majority of people who try end up not generating significant income.

Second, you have to make sure that making money from your blog directly is your goal. For example, for this blog direct income isn’t my goal. I didn’t have ads at all untli recently, and the only reason I added them was to use the ad network management application I’ve been working on called RMX Direct. It’s quite possible that your blogging goals may just to network, write about something you’re interested in, or serve some business purpose that isn’t direct income generation.

With that out of the way, let’s get started:

1. Contextual Advertising

Surprise, surprise. Advertising is easily the most popular blog monetization tactic, mostly due to it being the easiest thing to implement. Advertising comes in many forms, and contextual advertising is the most popular due to Google Adsense and it’s general success with blogs and niche sites.

I’m going to assume everyone reading this is familiar with it, but I think it should be mentioned that too many bloggers assume that Adsense is the best solution for their blog. For some blogs and topics it works great, for others, not very well at all.

My advice is to not limit your blog to one ad network or just one form of advertising. Other contextual options include the Yahoo Publisher Network, Chitika, Clicksor, AdSonar, and others. It’s not easy to manually test all these though if you’re shuffling ad tags around and randomly allocating your impressions to them, using a ad network management tool like RMX Direct can help you manage, evaluate, and control your various ad networks.

2. Display Advertising

As I mentioned above, contextual networks aren’t always the best solution for blogs. In some cases there aren’t enough advertisers in niche topics, and in others the users just isn’t likely to click. In this case, you want to be working with ad networks that provide CPM display advertising. This means you get paid something for every ad viewed, opposed to only getting paid per click.

Just like with contextual networks, it’s important to use multiple display ad networks to get more variety from your ads, to not let any one network control your inventory, and to make sure you’re earning the most amount of money possible.

3. Targeted Advertising

The most desirable form of advertising is having companies that wish to pay good rates to advertise on your blog directly whether it’s text or image ads. Many bloggers feel that this is a pipe dream, but I speak from experience from running a wakeboarding blog for many years that you can make solid income from targeted advertising without having insane amounts of traffic.

There are a number of key things you have to do though in order to get this type of advertising:

Have a blog with leading content in your niche and a professional design
Create a “media kit” which is essentially a page on your blog that explains that you take targeted advertising, what your rates are, demographics of your users, your traffic levels, examples of the types of ads people can run, testimonials from any companies that have advertised with you, and a phone number and email address they can use to get more information.
Have obvious “Advertise On This Blog” links in key places on your blog.
Give a company or two in your niche free or very low-cost advertising in order to get the ball rolling. When advertisers see their competitors or companies similar to them advertising, they get the idea that it’s available. If all they ever see is Adsense ads, they might not realize it’s an option.
Be willing to be creative to help your advertisers achieve their goals, and lower your price to get the deals.
Provide statistics and results to your advertisers. Use an ad server like RMX Direct, phpAdsNew, or something similar which has the ability to create reports per advertiser.

Once you’ve set your blog up properly, start approaching companies in your niche who will want to reach your traffic. You don’t need to go after the biggest companies, there are many small companies who are looking to get better results from the web, and they might not even know about your blog. You don’t need to be an ad sales professional, you just need to present your case well on why they’re missing out if they don’t advertise on your traffic. Make it easy on them to work with you, help them create ads, help them determine what sizes to use, and work with them to make sure they get the results they need. It seems like hard work at first, but after you get a solid base of advertisers going, it’s a great source of income and it starts to streamline.

4. Text Link Advertising

Another somewhat unobtrusive form of advertising is using services like Text Link Ads or Adbrite to sell text ads directly to companies. This is pretty low effort and often doesn’t take up too much space on a site, so it’s easy to implement and try out. It should be noted though that you need significant traffic for it to be a big source of income.

5. Affiliate Links

One of the older web monetization methods is still as good today as it’s always been. If you’ve got a blog in a specific area, there’s a very large chance that there are companies out there that sell products or services your users are interested in. You can earn some nice income recommending or linking to those products.

Amazon.com is probably the most common affiliate merchant used by bloggers, but I’d advise finding other unique merchants who may pay better and be more specific to your topic. Amazon is always there as an option, but you’re more likely to get more help from the merchant if you go with a smaller company.

Another nice thing about affiliate links is that they fit well with quality content. Reviewing products and services for your users is valuable content, and if you can make money off it as well it’s a great combination. A word of warning though that you shouldn’t change your reviews or be biased due to the fact you can make money off a referral.

While traffic also helps for affiliate links, it can sometimes be an easier way to generate income without high traffic levels like advertising requires. As an example I did a review of a web analytics application a couple of years ago, and this blog had very little traffic at that point. I referred two sales through that review though that still earn me $150 a month every month two years later.

6. Selling Your Content (Ebooks, Videos, DVDs)

If you’ve got great content, another option is to package it and sell it. There are numerous bloggers who have created ebooks and even real books based on their blog content and made great income selling them. You can also expand to infoproducts like videos, DVDs, audio CDs, and printed books on demand.

This can take some significant work and it requires great content to actually sell, but it can be a nice income stream that lasts a long time.

7. Consulting

Depending on your topic and your level of expertise, you can sell consulting services. If you’re a web analytics expert, you could offer web analytics consulting services on your blog for an hourly fee. This takes very little work to setup beyond creating a page outlining your services, getting a standard contract, and having a way to take payments from companies. Again though, it just takes a little bit of effort to let people know that consulting services are available.

8. Donations

Not quite as common as it once was, it used to be fairly common for bloggers to ask for donations on their blog through Paypal or some other service. This only works if you have a dedicated userbase, and a large enough number of users that their donations add up. I wouldn’t recommend this if you’re also putting a lot of advertising and other monetization methods on your blog. You’ll come off as a bit too greedy in that case.

9. Selling Products

Besides infoproducts, you can sell real products like t-shirts, bumper stickers, clothing, or whatever other kind of merchandise makes sense for your topic. Companies like Goodstorm, CafePress, Lulu, and others make it easy by creating the products based on your design and letting you set up a shop. There is no risk to bloggers, which makes it a great opportunity.

10. Selling Your Blog

Perhaps the most extreme of the blog monetization methods, but it can be lucrative! If you aren’t attached to your blog and are willing to part with it, you can usually find a buyer for it. Your blog must be pretty good, and have a level of traffic worth buying, and it really helps if you already have some income streams going for it. Blogs usually sell for 12-24 times monthly revenues, and there are numerous places you can sell them like eBay and the Sitepoint Marketplace.

Conclusion

It definitely takes some work to monetize your site well, and having good traffic really helps out. Work on building a blog with a solid userbase, and you should be on your way to generating income using any of the methods above. Good luck, and please share any blog monetization experiences you have in the comments.

Update: I was pointed to a similar post by Darren Rowse at Problogger.net that is also a recommended read on the subject of making money from your blog. He mentions many of the same things, and has a couple I didn’t mention as well.
