Best Embroidered Sweatshirt Design Ideas

A sweatshirt is a blank canvas waiting to be embellished, and embroidery is an art that transforms that canvas into a masterpiece. Embroidered sweatshirts provide a fantastic canvas for creativity. Embroidery has been around for thousands of years. This technique is versatile and allows you to create many designs on different fabrics. At Di Ricamo, we have mastered the art of embroidery. We embroider sweatshirts for people who love them all. Here are some design ideas to inspire you:

1. Nature-Inspired Patterns

Animals, plants, objects: we embroider for you. We will use embroidery to bring to life the images you have in mind.

- Botanical Patterns: Think delicate flowers, leaves, or intricate vines. A minimalist approach with a small embroidered flower on the chest or sleeve can be elegant.

- Mountain Scenes: Abstract or detailed mountain ranges, forests, or sunsets can give off a warm, outdoorsy vibe.

- Animal Patterns: Cute animals like foxes, birds, or even mythical creatures like unicorns can be charming and playful.

2. Artistic Patterns

Isn't this sweatshirt lovely? It is a combination of screen printing and embroidery. The contrasting white embroidered calligraphy and blue screen printed map make this design attractive.

- Geometric Shapes: Bold lines, triangles, and polygons can create a modern and stylish look. - Abstract Art: Unique, freeform patterns that mimic brushstrokes or paint splatters can make a sweatshirt stand

out.

- Drawn Lines: Simple, continuous line drawings of faces, animals, or abstract shapes can be both trendy and minimalist.

3. Inspirational Quotes

- Typography: Choose a favorite quote or phrase and use bold or elegant fonts. Adding decorative elements like stars or hearts can enhance the design.

- Handwritten Text: A more personal touch with handwritten quotes or sayings gives a unique, handmade feel.

4. Pop Culture References

Our pop culture patches are a real eye-catcher. The bold, brightly colored letters paired with the plush texture of chenille are hard to miss, as you can see on this Toledo sweatshirt.

- Icons and Symbols: Embroider symbols or designs from favorite movies, TV shows, or music. Think iconic logos or subtle references.

- Character Portraits: Stylized or minimalist depictions of beloved characters or celebrities can be fun and eye- catching.

5. Custom Designs

- Custom Initials: Elegant monograms or initials can make the sweatshirt feel special and unique to the wearer.

- Custom Artwork: Collaborate with an artist to create a unique design that reflects personal interests or memories.

6. Seasonal Themes

- Holiday Designs: Festive designs for holidays like Christmas, Halloween, or Thanksgiving, with themes like snowflakes, pumpkins, or fall leaves.

- Seasonal Designs: Spring florals, summer shells, fall leaves, or winter snowflakes can fit the changing seasons

7. Minimalist Designs

 If you're not a fan of bold embroidery, Minimalist embroidery is less visible but still makes a statement with its sleek look, like on this Ohioan crewneck sweatshirt.

The minimalist design is achieved by using embroidery thread that is similar in color to the fabric, which is usually a single color.

If you want more contrast between the embroidery and the color of the sweatshirt, we use thread that is several shades darker or lighter, but it must remain in the same color family to achieve the best results.

- Small Embroidery: A small, well-placed design, like a tiny heart or star on the chest or sleeve, can be subtly elegant.

- Monochrome: Simple, monochrome patterns on matching or contrasting backgrounds can look very chic.

8. Abstract Patterns

- Doodles: Playful, spontaneous patterns that give the impression of hand-drawn designs. - Tie-Dye or Gradient Effects: Subtle gradient embroidery that mimics tie-dye patterns can add a modern touch.

9. Vintage Styles

- Retro Logos: Classic brand logos or vintage graphics can give a retro, nostalgic feel.

- Classic Embroidery: Use traditional techniques to create timeless designs, such as ornate borders or classic patterns.

10. Cultural References

- Ethnic Patterns: Traditional patterns or symbols from various cultures can offer unique and meaningful designs.

- World Landmarks: Embroider iconic landmarks or geographic shapes that have special meaning.

How to Care for Your Embroidered Sweatshirt

These embroidered sweatshirt design ideas wouldn’t be complete without explaining how to care for your sweatshirt once you’ve purchased it. Sweatshirts are easy to care for, but when they’re embroidered, the rules change a bit. If you’re not careful, you may notice the following:-Disconnection of the sweatshirt embroidery caused by shrinkage from improper washing

-Tearing or loose threads caused by vigorous washing, harsh detergents, or heat, such as ironing

-Fading caused by washing your sweatshirt in hot water

You don’t need to wash your embroidered sweatshirt more than necessary if it doesn’t smell or have visible dirt.

Feel free to mix and match these ideas to create something truly unique. The key is to design something that resonates with the wearer's personal style and interests!

407. Two Donahue Hoaxes

My first memory of television talk show host Phil Donanue was around the time I started Kindergarten in 1988. My teacher, Ms. Walker was absolutely shocked that I could read. Which I guess it was rare for Kindergarteners to read in 1988? Someone help. Anyway, she asked my mom to watch an episode of Donahue about Child Geniuses, maybe? I don’t remember, I just remember bringing home a post it for mom to watch Donahue.  I don’t remember her watching it. A few weeks later we began to learn math, and my genius days were over with.

Donahue looked like what I remember my dentist, Dr. Stall looking like when I was five. I still see Dr. Stall today and he still kinda looks like old Phil, sans glasses.

Oh, and the closing logo and jingle with the little “m” for “Multimedia”.  I remember that from when I was little.

Later on, in middle school in 1994 or 1995, my sixth grade teacher Mr. Hankins who was mean as dirt would made us do busy work all morning long, including reading these incredibly dated readers from the 1980s, where we had to read an essay and answer questions about it.  

The only essay I remember is one about how religious fanatics were passing out flyers that stated that someone from Proctor & Gamble came onto the Phil Donahue show in the early 1980s to announce that profits from the company went to the Church of Satan. 1 Also that the Proctor & Gamble “moon man” logo was a symbol for Satanism, and that the curls in the man’s beard were “666”’s. Below is an example of the flyer that was passed around:

2.

Thing is, nobody from Proctor & Gamble has ever been on Donahue.  1. The flyers flew around again in 1985, and P&G finally decided to give in an change the moon man logo in 1991. 2 6.  I found one instance where Amway salespeople passed the flyers around (in 1995!) to convince buyers to buy their products instead. 3 4 A Washington Post article posted in 1991 mentioned morons people who still roamed the aisles of grocery stores, careful to not buy products from Proctor & Gamble.

The Rev. Jay Hurley walked down Aisle 12 of Food Lion in Hagerstown, Md., last week and reached for Cottonelle toilet paper instead of his usual brand. Buying White Cloud, he believed, would involve him in Devil worship.

"I didn't buy Folger's coffee either; I'm going to replace that brand with Nestle's," said Hurley, pastor of the Greenbrier Baptist Church in Boonsboro.

Hurley is one of thousands of Americans who continue to boycott Procter & Gamble products, convinced, beyond any measure of logic, that the corporation's president is in league with the Devil. Currently, fliers are circulating in rural Maryland, among other places, listing the allegedly damnable P&G products.

[…]

Hurley said an Army chaplain friend gave him a copy of the flier several weeks ago. He distributed copies to his 70-member congregation. A copy hangs on the church bulletin board just inside the door.

The flier, headlined "The Phil Donahue Show," states that on March 1, 1991, P&G's president appeared on "Donahue" and announced that he was "coming out of the closet" about his financial support for the Church of Satan. "He stated that a large portion of the profits from Proctor {sic} & Gamble products goes to the support of the church," the flier says. Then Donahue, it continues, asked the P&G president whether his ties with Satanism would hurt business.

"There are not enough Christians in the U.S. to make a difference," he's quoted as telling a nationwide television audience.

On March 1, 1991, no one representing P&G, let alone its president, appeared on "Donahue."

[…]

So many calls have flooded "Donahue" headquarters in New York that staffers set up a voice-mail answering system that advises, "If you are calling about Procter & Gamble, press 6 now. ... The president of Procter & Gamble has never ever appeared on the 'Donahue' show. If your family and friends say they've seen it, they are quite mistaken."So many calls have flooded "Donahue" headquarters in New York that staffers set up a voice-mail answering system that advises, "If you are calling about Procter & Gamble, press 6 now. ...

In 2013, the moonman with a much sleeker beard reappeared quietly on Proctor & Gamble products. 6.

In January of 1985, Phil Donahue moved his show to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City so he could be closer to his wife, actress Marlo Thomas. 8 On January 21, 1985, weeks after the move, several people in the audience fainted while he show was being filmed.  

[source]

At first, it was speculated that people standing in line in sub zero temps and then entering a 70º studio made people pass out. (Just the thought of that makes me get a headache, I’m that jerk who runs her ac in the car during the winter because I’m ~sensitive~)  After 40 minutes, Phil decided to ask the audience to leave, and he interviewed his guests (gay senior citizens) in an empty studio. 7.

About a month later, an actress, Deborah Harmon came to the New York media and said that the fainting was a hoax, created by master Hoaxer Alan Abel. 9 I had to look up who Abel was. Abel who died in 2018, created such hoaxes such as the Society for Indecency to Naked Animals, Citizens Against Breastfeeding, and a company that sold jars of Jenny McCarthy’s urine. 10 11 Abel orchestrated the hoax because he was protesting sensationalist tv. 12.

The Forgotten Queens Season

Hey RPDR Fans! Wanted to share this concept with you guys, let me know your thoughts!

The Forgotten Queens (All Stars Season): An All Stars season dedicated to the queens who were overlooked, forgotten or left home early in their season. I will only be including queens who I personally believe have the chops (no pun intended porkchop) to compete and possibly win RPDR.

The Queens:

1. Ongina (Though she’s had media attention, and was a fan-favourite on her season, many current RPDR fans are unaware of her as she is a season 1 queen. I think it would be a great opportunity to bring her back so new fans can see what the older seasoned queens have to offer)

2. Victoria "Porkchop" Parker (This queen is a meme through and through. Throughout all seasons there is typically some reference towards her -- cue Alaska’s Read U Wrote U -- She was the FIRST queen to ever be eliminated on RPDR)

3. Pandora Boxx (Yes, Pandora was a contestant on All Stars 1, but quite frankly I don’t think she had a fair run. Many fans agree that AS1 was a joke, and by having teams some queens were sent home for no fault but their partners. This is the case for Pandora Boxx, if she wasn’t paired with Mimi Imfurst, I think she could’ve made it... and maybe by now her fashion might be up to Santino’s standards lol)

4. Carmen Carrera (Yes, Carmen was the eliminated queen that came back in season 3... But, she seems to have developed over-time and has really gotten ahold of her drag. Carmen was the first BODY QUEEN, and she’s still serving it --yes, there were other queens, but c’mon, carmen was the first PERFECT BODY QUEEN)

5. Mariah Balenciaga (Mariah has gotten media attention from fashion photo ruview, bootleg opinions/photo ruview and logo/vh1/outtv/wowpresents. But many young and new fans aren’t really aware of where this gorgeous lady came from. She’s one of the prettiest queens of ALL RPDR herstory, and I wanna see her get to prove herself to the new audience)

6.  Lashauwn Beyond, Vivienne Pinay, The Princess or Milan (Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of any of these girls, I found them kinda lackluster... But I think it could be interesting to see how much better they’ve gotten over the years. I put all three of them under the same category, as if this season occurred, I feel as though only one of these three should be included within the show... THOUGHTS ON VIVIENNE: She’s a fishy queen who went home in season five in 10th/11th place with honey mahogany. I firmly believe if she received more airtime and was on the show longer that the RPDR audience would fall in love woth her. I don’t know much about her, but I feel that she could bring some sass and maybe cause a few fights in the werkroom...And THAT’S GOOD TV )

7. Jade Jolie (THIS GIRL WILL CAUSE FIGHTS...And sadly to admit, I’m kinda here for it... Without her, we wouldn’t have the infamous Alyssa Edwards “backrolls” quote... Enough said...)

8.  Joslyn Fox (Season 6 was a strong season of queens, if Joslyn was placed in season 7 I think she would’ve made it a lot farther. She has provided us with many laughs through her quotes such as “black-horse” and “cup of soup.” Over the years Joslyn’s style has become more refined, the same with her humour, and if we brought her back I honestly think she could be a pretty decent contestant)

9.  Trinity K. Bonet (A beautiful queen who has done so much for the AIDS/HIV community. She was overshadowed in her season, but maybe this time she would hold her ground better... Even if she can’t I think we’d all love to be blessed with a lipsync by her -- cue her whatta man lipsync)

10. April Carrion (No explanation needed)

11. Ms. Kasha Davis (Completely overlooked in her season, she an old-school campy comedy queen who deserves A LOT more recognition)

12. Shuga Cain (She honestly should not have been placed in the bottom, I think the judges were biased towards the “dreamgirls” alliance and knew that the only way to keep the “dreamgirls” on the show was the put Shuga in the bottom. Shuga was unfairly placed in the bottom, and I think she deserves another FAIR chance)

13. Nina West (IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN EPISODE 11 AND DON’T WANT SPOILERS STOP READING! Okay, tf happened last night? The judges have continuously looked past Nina, and even though she’s won challenges she always seems to be in the background in the judges eyes. Nina should NOT have been in the bottom last night, I think she looked beautiful and I think her outfit looked really nice on her body. Even IF she deserved to be in the bottom, Nina 100% beat Silky in that lipsync. Silky was a mess, she didn’t even preform well. This whole season Silky has been saying “ill lipsync for my motherf***ing life if I have to” “Ill turn it out”... She might be one of the worst lipsyncers of all time if that was her performance. I honestly think the judges know all the drama silky has caused in the work room, and how unliked she is by fans and they know by keeping her on, the more views and talk there will be. I am always a pro-funny-queen kinda viewer, but I am done with Silky, and after last episode I’m about ready to pop. Nina deserves another chance, because her’s was taken away from her.)

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS JUST MY OPINION! SO DON’Y GET ALL SILKY’ED UP AT ME. 

Let me know what you think, and who should be added or taken away! I wanna know!

It's finally dry so it's finally done! I wanted to do a You Know I Get It shirt because the idea was just too funny to me.

So yes, the whole speech is on the collar, sleeves and hem and the last words didn't fit so I put them under the Foxes logo thingy 😌

So here, I just wanted to share ahah

Since some of you, asked or expressed the idea that you'd like one, I decided to put it on my Etsy shop. (They're back on sale if anyone is interested!) Otherwise, the instructions are in the notes, as vague as they are. Thank you for the compliments 🥰🥰

But imagine the emotional rollercoaster for Kevin at the end of the game against the Ravens. He scores in the last seconds! He did it, they did it, they won! He can barely believe it. And then he turns around and Riko is trying to kill Neil? Damn.

I like the idea that when he retires from Exy, maybe when he becomes coach or something else, or when he retires completely, Kevin starts making YouTube videos about history. He becomes kind of like a Hank Green for history. And then there's a whole generation in the comments being like "Wasn't he like an Exy player?" "Kevin Day played Exy?!" (Which is funnier to think about if YouTube just his side job as he coaches a pro team).

French TV: Prince Philip died and now, the whole world is honoring his life.

One thing I like is that the Minyard twins have the same or close enough haircuts that they can pass as each other. Was it on purpose? Did they just casually agree that they'd have the same haircut? Did they already have similar sense of what looked good on them so they already have similar hair cuts?

365 Days Of Art 2018

First off, this is going to be a long post.

I have decided to make a drawing challenge list for an entire year. Ya sounds crazy but I’ve always been a bit eccentric.

This is also going to be my New Years resolution, so starting January 1st I will be picking a subject at random every day. Just need to find a big jar ^_^

I will be working in any media, not just pencil. The great thing about this challenge is that I can experiment with different media. This also takes me back to my College days, where we did a lot of experimenting e.g with sticks, feathers, I even made a printing tile out of form I found in a Pizza box.

Why am I doing this? I want to start drawing and painting again and I’ve always found it very therapeutic.

I will be posting each piece on my new art blog and in my Deviant Art gallery.

Feel free to use this list yourself and enjoy ^_^

New from Every Movie Has a Lesson by Don Shanahan: MOVIE REVIEW: Ford V. Ferrari

(Image courtesy of 20th Century Fox via EPK.tv)

Special Presentation of the 55th Chicago International Film Festival

FORD V. FERRARI— 4 STARS

For James Mangold’s sterling sports film, take your thesaurus toolbox and dump out all the synonym wrenches for the word “hubris.” This is a thrilling race of arrogance as much as it is one of high-performance automobiles. The acts of vanity, audacity, chutzpah, conceit, cockiness, insolence, nerve, pomposity, and exceptionalism fill every metallic and non-metallic element. All of this tuned-up and torqued testosterone makes for a one hell of an entertaining show.

On a scale far more historical and less fantastical than the last prominent movie to put a V. battle in its title, Ford V. Ferrari highlights the team assembled by Ford Motor Company to climb above the redneck derbies of NASCAR and build a new world class race car worthy of ending Ferrari’s 1960s dominance at the world’s most illustrious and grueling automobile race: the 24 Hours of Le Mans. There are three levels to this endeavor: owner, designer, and driver. All three parties flex their manner of hubris.

LESSON #1: THE VANITY OF POWERFUL PEOPLE — The headline-seeking desire to enter the international race scene comes from the wounded pride and deep pockets of “The Deuce” and CEO Henry Ford II, embodied with bluster and bitterness by Tracy Letts. Throwing money at a titillating marketing pitch for sexier cars from talented underling (and future car czar himself) Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) and backed by his shrewd senior VP Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas), Henry is embarrassingly rebuffed from a financial takeover of Enzo Ferarri’s famed sports car company as a way to emulate prestige his domestic assembly line can’t match. Pissed enough to get back at Ferrari, the irritable magnate demands to beat the old tycoon at his own supremacy on the raceways. Make no mistake. The suits are the villains here with the needling and oppressive corporate control.

LESSON #2: THE NERVE OF AN INNOVATOR — Renowned custom car entrepreneur Carroll Shelby, played by Matt Damon, is swagger built by determination. Shelby won the 1959 Le Man event as a driver only to be forced into retirement with a bad heart valve. He now lives vicariously through his business dealings and front race teams. When Carroll is enlisted (and paid quite handsomely to do so) by Ford to get them to win in France, he brings Stetson-topped confidence and gum-chomping spirit on top of his automotive acuity.

LESSON #3: THE AUDACITY OF A COMPETITOR — Shelby knows the only driver he completely trusts with the prowess to take the wheel of an experimental deathtrap is the “limey prick” Ken Miles, played by the co-headlining Oscar winner Christian Bale. Supported by a stalwart wife (Caitronia Balfe of TV’s Outlander) and idolizing son (Noah Jupo of Suburbicon and A Quiet Place) while struggling as a L.A. mechanic between racing gigs, Ken live for the wrench time and the feel of the power at the wheel. He has the hot-blooded recklessness and spry savvy to go further than anyone else.

LESSON #4: THE EXCEPTIONALISM OF A FINE PIECE OF MACHINERY — The vaunted vessels for the fuel-injection fracas are the beastly cars themselves being produced for peak perfection. Ford V. Ferrari impressively uses nearly all practical effects and reproductions of the actual racers from that era, making this a drool-worthy and jaw-dropping movie for exotic car lovers. Capturing their performance to this level of authenticity is quite a feat for second unit director Darrin Prescott (the stunt coordinator of Baby Driver and Drive) and stunt coordinator Robert Nagle. The guttural growls of all the horsepower fill a massive sound mix that easily overwhelms the squabbling men when necessary.

Matt Damon may really only be doing an extended version of his Matthew McConaughey impressions from his old David Letterman talk show couch visits, but his composure and confidence fits the leading need. He is easy to root for stepping to music by Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders that is almost folksy to match the American cowboy at work. It’s a distinctive tone choice different than if this movie was made 30 years ago with a rousing Bill Conti score or 40 years ago with Lalo Schifrin bossa nova tingle. Like the character he plays, Christian Bale does nothing half-ass. Introduced in a scene dropping the burn “drive it like you mean it, not like a school teacher,” his complete commitment to the tenacity becomes quickly vibrant and endearing, turning him the heart and soul of the show.

The sheer energy of this movie has knockout power. See Ford V. Ferrari on the loudest screen you can find, because you’re going to wish you had a helmet and a steering wheel of your own. Don’t crush your armrest or cup holder from the velocity. James Mangold has made a crowdpleaser that counts as a buddy movie and sports flick with cajones and more compassion than one would expect from the brawn in play. At every turn, though, it’s all about how people look winning.

LESSON #5: WARPING THE WILL TO WIN — This pissing contest has a powertrain and its each competing party’s impetuosity and conceit be the victor warps their behavior and motivations. The proverbial “will to win” is a well-worn adage and character trait that fills context-less parables about potential and excellence by Confucius and endless bulletin board quotes covering preparation and spirit from famed college and professional sports coaches like Bear Bryant, Bobby Knight, and Vince Lombardi. In Ford V. Ferrari, Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby, other than their willingness to take a paycheck, are portrayed to have the right genuine drive. They match this Tony Robbins-level motivational poetry citation from writer Berton Braley:

If you want a thing bad enough

To go out and fight for it,

Work day and night for it,

Give up your time and your peace and

Your sleep for it

If only desire of it

Makes you quite mad enough

Never to tire of it,

Makes you hold all other things tawdry

And cheap for it

If life seems all empty and useless without it

And all that you scheme and you dream is about it,

If gladly you’ll sweat for it,

Fret for it, Plan for it,

Lose all your terror of God or man for it,

If you’ll simply go after that thing that you want.

With all your capacity,

Strength and sagacity,

Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity,

If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt,

Nor sickness nor pain

Of body or brain

Can turn you away from the thing that you want,

If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it,

You’ll get it!

"Fake News"   "The lying press"   "FauxCNN"   "The failing New York Times"   "The Very bad and dishonest Washington Post"   The quotes above are from the President of the Untied States, Donald Trump. He isn't attacking ISIS. Or Al Queda. Or North Korea. Or Iran. He isn't verbally attacking Vladimir Putin or Russia for undermining our most cherished democratic institution, our free and fair elections. No, he is saving all his spite and bile for other Americans and then vomiting it out at them via his Twitter account. Day after day after day after day. Again and again and again.   In his latest tirade he tweeted a meme taken from a professional wrestling match he was involved in (yes, I know, he accuses the mainstream media of being #fakenews with a professional wrestling gif) where his opponent's head has been replaced by a CNN logo. The implication for Trump, I'm sure, is that he's a macho, alpha-male who is getting the better of the press and TV news in rough and tumble hand to hand combat. That's not how many of us see it, however. What we see is an open, authoritarian threat of violence towards one of the traditional checks and counterbalances on executive power. Moreover, it's an attempt to rile up his rabid fan base, who are currently chomping at the bit to pick up their weapons and start a new American Civil War.   Actually, there are two different things going on at the same time, both of which are inextricably linked.   The first is Trump's assault on the press. Just prior to the wrestling meme tweet, he engaged in a vicious Twitter war with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC's Morning Joe program, both of whom used to be friends of Trump. In reality, almost all of the viciousness was on the part of the president. He referred to his former friends as psycho Joe and crazy, dumb as a rock Mika, before letting loose with a vile insult to her looks that I won't dignify by repeating here. Misogyny, of course, is nothing new to the former reality TV star, who seems to be particularly terrified by the combination of women and blood, but the attempts to delegitimize the media and set himself up for his followers as the sole arbiter of truth and reality is something we haven't seen in this country in a very long time, if at all.   At the same time, new evidence is emerging every day that the Trump administration did, in fact, collude with the Russians to hack the 2016 presidential election and install Trump as president. It's no longer a matter of contention that Russia did interfere in the election. Every major intelligence agency in the U.S. is in agreement on this. As former FBI chief, James Comey, famously said in his televised testimony before the Senate, "Let there be no fuzz on this whatsoever. Russia did interfere in our election. This is a fact." The only people in the country who refuse to accept this verdict are Trump himself and his legion of cult-like followers.   The most recent revelation, which came in a pair of articles in the Wall Street Journal this past week, was that longtime Republican activist, Peter W. Smith, attempted to obtain Hillary Clinton emails from Russian hackers in the days leading up to the 2016 election, while naming Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway as his contacts in the Trump administration. These new details are leaking out on a weekly, if not daily basis, from longstanding stalwarts of the American press such as the New York Times and the Washington Post, before being mass delivered to the American people via CNN. At the same time, former FBI Director, Robert Mueller, has been named special prosecutor in charge of investigating Russian election interference and he is stocking his team of distinguished attorneys with lawyers very well versed in organized crime and money laundering. Trump himself has not been directly linked at this point but I imagine he must be starting to feel the noose slowly closing around his neck.   The Russian hacking spectacle has become a car crash that the American people cannot look away from. Donald Trump, however, would very much like you to look away. This is why his attacks on the press are happening. If Trump can convince you that CNN and the Washington Post and the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal are doing nothing but telling lies; that they are #fakenews; and that the only source of factual information is the president and his chosen propaganda sources like Breitbart and Fox News, then you might not believe your own eyes and ears when the inevitable piece of incontrovertible evidence of his collusion with Putin and the Russians is broadcast to the country. You know his fanatical, adoring fan club won't believe it.   The problem with this is that he has convinced his cult that the American news media have joined with secret elements in our government (who they refer to as "the deep state") to overthrow the democratically elected president (who won fair and square) for no other reasons than spite and hatred of this country. There are some seriously unbalanced people amongst this group who are now believing that the press are the enemies of America and are ready and willing to take up arms to protect Trump, who is, along with his enablers, the real traitor here. I have several friends who are political reporters and they are now receiving death threats from lived Trumpers on a daily basis, not only for themselves but also their husbands, wives and children. In an attempt to cover up his crimes and the illegitimacy of his presidency, Donald Trump is playing a very reckless game with American lives. What happens with these people, on fire with rage and hatred for the media, when Trump is eventually exposed?   Donald Trump will, almost certainly, be the loser here. I have very little doubt that he will face impeachment and quite possibly prison for what he's done. I worry, however, about what happens next.

Max Mundan, Donald Trump is Demonizing the Press Because He Doesn’t Want You to Know He’s a Traitor

Rewatching “Transformers”

Yep, the Michael Bay one.  Because I felt like it and it’s the only Transformer movie I enjoy as a guilty pleasure.  Dab.

I like how they put the transformer noise over the shooting stars for the Paramount logo.

BEFORE TIME BEGAN, THERE WAS THE CUBE.

I will give this movie a little bit of credit:  the music over Optimus’ explanation of the AllSpark is not bad.

Actually the music in this entire movie isn’t that bad.

Man, Peter Cullen isn’t getting paid enough in these movies.

Yeah, Tyrese (Gibson), earn that paycheck!

Oh my God, the color filter in this movie.

Traits of a Michael Bay movie:  America, America, helicopters, fighter jets, blue, orange, green, yellow, aqua, the army, sparks, street lamps, America, esplosions, some shady shit in the government, lens flares, product placement, really really quick pan shots, a shady government agent covering up some secret government conspiracy, technicolor smoke, slow-mo shots of something being thrown up in the air behind someone, slow-mo shots of something AMERICA, and a whole bunch of metal

Waaiiiitttt... how come the wife of the Josh Duhamel character looks like Mary Winchester from “Supernatural?”

Compared to the other movies in this series that I’ve seen (Revenge of the Fallen and Age of Extinction), this one actually feels a little more... slow... like they take more time to explain things instead of just throwing explosion porn at you.  I mean, they still do in this movie and I consider this one to be the un-laziest in this series.

Man, I remember when this movie first came out

WAAiiitttt.... why do I recognize the history teacher?  Isn’t he Dr. Taub on House?

“The ice is freezing faster than it’s melting!”  What?

NO SACRIFICE, NOOO VICTORYYY!!

This history is full of the most immature teenagers I’ve ever seen.

ELEVENTH GRADE?!?  THESE ARE THE OLDEST ELEVENTH GRADERS I’VE EVER SEEN

“What would Jesus do?”  I can still quote like 50% of this movie.  That’s sad.

How do they not notice the 1977 Camaro driving into the lot by itself?

RIP Bernie Mac

So much yellow in this scene alone.

Why does a used car lot have a petting zoo?

Another question I have is why Bumblebee decided to have the Autobot symbol on the horn.  Usually Autobots have their Autobot symbols on their chestplate so if you think about that, that’s just weird.

Jon Voight!

RACHAEL TAYLOR!  TRISH WALKER!  I forgot she was in this movie!

Trish, get back to your radio show!

Sam, why is your username LadiesMan217?  If you’re trying to sell stuff on eBay, which probably no one uses anymore (so that dates this movie by a long shot), have a username that doesn’t scream “Hey, I’m a egotistical dick.”

God, I hate the parents in this movie.

My dad used to have a lot of audio files from this movie and one of them was “Wow.  You are so cheap.”

“Why don’t you use those magic voodoo powers and get us the hell out of here?”  Man, I forgot about that line.

I forgot how cringy awkward Sam is in this.  Jesus Christ.

Why is Megan Fox wearing a scarf when it’s shown to be like ninety degrees out?

“OK.  You’ll call me.”  We quote that all the time in my house it’s not even funny.

The little bee air freshener says “Bee-otch”

Megan Fox uses her teeth a lot when she talks.

Oh my God Sam stop talking.

Wow, Michael Bay absolutely could not keep it in his pants when it came to Megan Fox in this movie. 

There’s only three female characters in this movie and Michael Bay gets freaky deaky filming-wise over Megan Fox

“You think I’m shallow?”  Yes.  You’re not sneaking that past me, movie.

*dramatic drum*  THE PENTAGON!

OK, I agree with the Air Force One attendant, Ding Dongs are disgusting.

Couldn’t you use one pan-up to Frenzy after the Ding Dong stops rolling instead of having three cuts to even show it?

AN:  I’m only 30 mins in and this movie is almost 2 and a half hours long

Oh my gosh, the filter again.  They made Trish’s eyes REALLY BLUEEE

*imitates Frenzy as he slams his head on the screen in frustration*

Why is Sam’s profile picture look like his mugshot?

If the dad is the head of the neighborhood watch, his tired ass should be fired by the town council.

Wow, another thing that dates this movie:  a flip phone.

Obligatory mean dogs chained to a wall of some sort.

But seriously though, who leaves their dogs in an empty land fill during the night?

How does Sam not notice that no one is driving his car? 

Wait, at first, they (the Department of Defense) didn’t know what the hacking was caused by and now they think it’s a SpiderBot virus?

Isn’t “living organism” an oxymoron?

That’s a great question to ask a cop:  “Are you on drugs?”

Why is the little Arab boy that travels with the Josh Duhamel character one of the best actors in this movie?

I don’t mean to be racist, but the bit where the Josh Duhamel character calls the India outsource center always cracks me up.  I don’t know why it does.

Oh, the Josh Duhamel character’s name is Lennox.  OK.

“Spooky 3-2, use 1-0-5 shells.  Bring the rain.”  The best line in this movie.  Hands down.

Me and my sister pretty much quote this entire scene where Maggie goes to consult Glenn about the signal, including the “SHUT UP GRANDMAAAA!” and “GET OFF MY GRANDMAMA’S CARPET!”

“We’re not told where they’re going.”  Of course because the Hover-round takes them where they wanna go.

That’s the same hologram dude who was the helicopter Decepticon in the beginning and now he’s in the police car.

Dude, the random rock music?  What?

Barricade just said “AIYAIYAIAYAIYAIIII!” as a battle cry.  I can’t take that seriously.

Obligatory trailer music at a heroic moment.

“What?!?”  BA DA DAAA!!

“This is a hundred more times cooler than Armaggedon!  I swear to God!”  Don’t think you can get by with that self-deprication, Michael Bay.  We know.

“‘Cuse me, are you the tooth fairy?”  I’m sorry, but that bit’s really cute in my opinion.

Man, by the time the other Autobots transform, Optimus just finishes transforming.  And he took like a full minute to transform compared to the ten second panning shot of the others transforming.

I know it probably isn’t him, but it sounds like Steve Blum performing as Ironhide.

“His vocal processor was damaged” Ratchet says as he points a freaking laser at Bumblebee’s “throat”

NO NOT THE DOG!

Dude, it isn’t about measuring whether or not you’re guilty.  I’d eat a whole plate of donuts.

“DON’T TALK TO ME!  DON’T TALK TO ME, CRIMINAL!”

Yep, sure, this asteroid sized projectile falling out of the sky is an airplane.  And this guy is the head of the neighborhood watch?

“BAD MOJO...”

Sam:  Be subtle

Autobots:  OK (proceeds to trash yard and park themselves in the middle of it)

Optimus rubbing his faceplate in frustration is totally me

*DRAGS FACE ACROSS DESK IN FRUSTRATION AT THE BAD AND POORLY TIMED SEX JOKE* 

“The parents are very irritating.  Shall I dispose of them?”  YES.

Hello John Turturro.

Wait, this whole movie takes place within a week?

BUMBLEBEE, STOP LUBRICATING THE MAN!

GET THIS THING TO STOP, HUH?

*Sam and Mikaela fall off of Optimus*  Sorry, but you two would have shattered your ribcages after that.

“I bought a car.  Turned out to be an alien robot.  Who knew?”  They should have made a TV spot centered around that quote.

“NBE?”  “Non-Biological Extraterrestrial.  Keep up with the acronyms here.”  And that is how I remembered what an acronym is.

To be honest, I don’t like Charlie Adler Starscream that much.  Get me Steve Blum or Tom Kenny then I’ll be good.

What kind of Nokia phone is that?

I actually like the effect of the AllSpark collapsing in on itself to make a smaller version of itself

Man, I’m not even a fan of Hugo Weaving as Megatron.

I like that shot of Megatron before he goes “You fail me yet again, Starscream” where he just clicks his fingers together.

*The team still at Hoover Dam barricade the door*  They got a cave troll!

The truck Decepticon takes down Optimus via flying tackle hug

BUDDY!!!!!

Now see, why does Optimus have a sword?

No, not the Orpheum!

Now why is Jazz sitting there still in car mode just watching Bumblebee get his legs cut off?

YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?!?  YOU WANT A PIECE?!?

NO!  I WANT TWO PIECES!

“Megatron.”  “PRIIMMEEE!!!”

They keep reusing sound effects from the beginning in this battle

Oh no, not... Mountain Dew cans... *shrugs*

Did Megatron just yell “SURPRISE!” when he burst into that abandoned building?

He must be great at birthday parties

*Barricade gets shot in the Spark and dies*  Oooh, right in the arc reactor!

AN:  God, there’s only twenty minutes left.  I can do this.

Starscream does virtually nothing in these series.

“Oh, so unwise.”  MR. ANDERSON...

That one human Megatron flicked away is totally dead.

IT’S JUST YOU AND ME, MEGATRON.

NO, IT’S JUST ME, PRIME!!

“Armor’s just weak under the chest.”  So let’s aim the aiming laser at the Decepticon’s hand.  That sounds good.

That bit of Lennox driving the motorcycle and sliding under the Decepticon to kill it is actually pretty awesome

*Megatron dies with choking noises*  And so, Stanley Yelnats killed Elrond with the AllSpark

Now how are Optimus and Megatron brothers?  Unless there’s some cut backstory where they were like best friends until Megatron was like “You know what?  Being a Decepticon sounds cool.  Imma go do that.”  and Optimus was like “YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!”

I’ve heard rumors that there’s like 40 minutes of backstory that they cut from “The Last Knight”

Linkin Park!

*proceeds to sing all of “What I’ve Done”*

Dogs Accessories

A lot of people are unsure weather or not to dress their dogs and my answer to them is it is complete personal preference at the end of the day if you want to go for it then do, if you don't you can still get involved in dogs accessories like collars leads nice toys things for the animal to enjoy or to enrich their lives in some way.  If you treasured this article and you would like to get more info pertaining to cane corso collar kindly visit the web site. Dressing their dogs is a way for people to express themselves and tell the world about how them and their dogs are feeling, to put their unique style across or even to make some kind of a statement to other people. There are many ways to do this with the growing market many more options are becoming available such as coats, jump suits, logoed t-shirts and even shirts with quotes on them to really push a message across. Once you've lived with a dog for so long you pick up on their own style how they would express themselves what they are thinking and how they feel and then you begin to understand what would look good on them. At the moment I would say that collars are the biggest selling and most varied dogs accessories on the market today the most popular would have to be the nylon and or clip on collars which normally come with a basic design but with the boom people are getting more and more adventurous some with Swarovski crystals and high end expensive leathers this is where the big designers come in, there are many big designers in dogs accessories such as "gooby", "new York dog" and "fox and hound" but there really are so many they can't all be listed here but these are by far the biggest they do all sorts of lines of t-shirts and hoodies which I think rock a dog in a hoodie is a must see site. I'm sure a few people out there aren't sure how to dress there dog I feel you should dress them according to your own character and that of the dogs of course but you defiantly need to think about what and when you put things on your dog for example if you put your dog in a coat or a heavy jumper and it is a warm day the poor little thing won't be able to cool itself down these things need to be taken into consideration because a dog already has a coat on some obviously have longer thicker fur than others but you should really play it by the weather for what you should put your dog in after all you don't want to damage your loved little pooch, you should always consider the weather and what effect the clothing or accessories will have on the dog. Dressing big dogs is always going to be difficult as they are not as well catered for in the dogs accessories market the most common accessory apart from leads and collars is t-shirts for bigger dogs, but the growing trend and my personal advice is to go for a nice collar and lead set to compliment the dogs nature and personality. The reason it is harder to find dogs accessories for bigger dogs is because the industry caters for the medium sized toy dog breeds. Dogs accessories vary dramatically in price for example if you were looking at getting a t-shirt you're looking at spending about £10-£20, for a jumper £15-£35, or something hand made for around £50 these are not exactly accurate they are just to give you a general idea of pricing but as with human clothes when you start going into the realms of designer goods and branded products you could be facing hundreds possibly even thousands of pounds just like human clothes you are paying for a label they might be exactly the same but something with a label on it always demands more cash it's all about status, of course it is entirely up to you what you want to put your dog in based on budget and what you want to tell people about yourself. Finally I want to finish up with the next big trend to take dogs accessories and people by storm, it is the fact that bigger designers are realizing the potential behind this market and want to cash in on it for which I don't blame them. Now days some people even goes as far as to substitute a child for a dog I recently saw this on a TV program can't remember the name but these women doted on these dogs and they were like children to them which obviously opens up the potential to big designers to be a part of it they might bring out big lines of dogs accessories or just the essentials like leads and collars a few of the bigger shops such as Prada, Gucci and Louis Vuitton are putting small corner sections in for pampered pooches, watch this space.

Blog3 | Significance of Copyright Protection on the Internet

     Hillary Clinton in her 2010 speech on Internet freedom once said that,

“The technology community has set up interactive maps to help identify needs and target resources”

 , paying much attention to the wide use of the Internet. Undeniably, we do enjoy the convenience of the Internet, and the free speech has also developed much in developing countries like China. Nevertheless, imagine these situations in your mind: when you write papers, clicking “copy” and “paste” from the Internet for “convenience” without a quotation; when you watch free movies online via unofficial channels without an anthorization; when you download excellent videos from YouTube to share them in Bilibili or Acfun(Bullet screen video sharing websites in China) without the author’s permission, even acquiring extra profit from followers, have you ever think about original authors’ rights instead of your crude “convenience”? What I want to discuss today is not the regulation of a nation’s policies, such as censorship or freedom of speech, but the etiquette of personal behaviors (including citizens and companies) on the Internet — copyright regulation online.  

                Logo Credit：YouTube(google), Acfun, Bilibili

                                      (google images)

    The reason why I discuss this topic is that, with the widespread use of the Internet and social media, online copyright infringement becomes an endless behavior. More free speech has been released by nation but less self-discipline has been formed in some citizens.  Since the advent of the world's first copyright law, "Anna Law" in 1709, the copyright system has evolved along with the development of communication technologies. Currently, the Internet has become the fourth media after radio, television and satellite communication. From my perspective, what matters is not only the rapid progress in policies of releasing free speech, but also individual awareness of online copyright protection system.

    A string example of online copyright infringement is the 2006 Sohu case. Sohu, a mainstream media in China, provided videos download service for netizens in its broadband channel without authentic permission, including "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter 3", etc. in 2004, infringing copyrights of the Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Brothers, the New Line, Colombia, Universal, the US film production companies. Ultimately, the five companies took Sohu to court in 2006 and the court made a verdict that Sohu was supposed to pay 500 million and issue official apology to the five companies.

    The Sohu case is not the only one which challenges the copyright legal system, more rampant behaviors are founded in individual citizens. In China, the online flash drive such as Baidu Cloud and Sina Micro Disk are popular among netizens to sharing videos or music for free. There emerges a growing tendency inevitably that some bloggers upload latest films, called “cammed versions” taken from cinema, to the online flash drives. Then netizens can download films from Baidu Cloud or Sina Micro Disk for watching without paying or going to cinema.

                       “A thief is stealing copyrights”

                        Photo credit：DesignLab

                                (google images)

    Why do some netizens take online copyrights with nonchalance？ Firstly, people easily get overwhelmed by temptation of “free of charge”, because compared the same two productions, the more expensive one will not be your choice. You can watch films at home like people in the cinema, but the distinction is that you do not have to pay for films, which we call “copyrights”. What’s more, people even can make profit from followers via uploading unauthorized videos to unofficial platform, like plenty of bloggers in Bilibili or Acfun. Thirdly, it is more convenient for people in China to have access to foreign resources without a VPN through this online “share”.  

    In fact, we all readily clear that these behaviors called online copyright infringements do harm to our society. For one thing, not only do the infringements frustrate original author’s creation and confidence, but also severely damage the publishing industry development. From another perspective, it is hard to protect consumers’ rights because unfair things happen to the paying customers, which means that they acquire the same resource at a higher cost.

     With the unprecedented development of the Internet, people have more freedom to get close to their needs and resources. We can not deny the fact that illegal or unmoral convenience is invading our online environment. In order to promote the protection of online copyrights, Zhang Xuesong, deputy head of the Beijing Municipal Higher People's Court Intellectual Property Office, believes that

“strengthening the interaction between the judiciary and the Internet enterprises is beneficial”

in his 2014 interview.

     As far as I am concerned, I sincerely hope that every online resource can be quoted from official channels to effectively protect authors’ copyrights on the Internet. Today, to our relief, the videos or TV series shared without anthorization in Bilibili and Acfun have been mostly removed, which is an improvement in copyright protection system. But the copyrights protection on the Internet still has a long way to go. I hope that one day, our society will be in better order and the copyright protection system on the Internet will be more prosperous and complete.    

[breakthefilm]

Oh my God, that opening sequence. Everyone knows the ultimate cartoon theme. Everyone anticipates the toll of the church bell. Everyone has memorized the placement of each X-Man and the powers they demonstrate in front of their own names spelled out in giant letters. I want this fucking played at my funeral. Very loudly too

It introduces eight individual characters, their codenames, their abilities, and even a little of their personalities. Don't believe me? Wolverine's scene ends with him punching the screen. Says it all.

In less than sixty seconds we know the general setup: that these individuals have superpowers, that they're up against equally powerful villains, that normal human beings are caught in the middle, and that they work for a bald guy in a floating wheelchair.

It's a brilliant encapsulation of the entire franchise, and watching this for the first time in years, I honestly felt chills at the sight of Rogue and Storm swooping down over the logo and around the Blackbird.

Admit you know what im talking about and your slightly hard thinking about it.

If you grew up in the nineties, like me and Awow,  it's a safe bet that you watched X-Men: The Animated Series, and in so many ways it captures that decade to perfection: the fashions, the hairstyles, the music,. Its the ultimate 90t’s adaptation of itself.

Comprised of five seasons, running from 1992-1997,  X-Men: TAS was for a long time, the longest running cartoon based on the X-Men franchise, and its principal goal was to translate as much of the comics into animated form as possible. It adapted some of the most famous X-Men storylines, including Days of Future Past and The Dark Phoenix Saga, and the line-up of X-Men under Professor X: Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Beast, Rogue, Gambit, Jubilee and Jean Grey

The show also manages to capture that in a world of mutant factions and humans, every side has a valid point. As ever, there are three sides to any given conflict human beings who can be anything from frightened to hateful, mutants who respond to this prejudice with violence and terrorism, and the X-Men, committed to harmony and unity.

Adult agendas at 9am on Fox Kids huh??

My personal favourite season

My personal favourite season was the first. I thought the season had everything. Great storylines with the night of the sentinels and days of future past. Not to mention the introduction of Apocalypse and slavery.

Come on admit a tear was in your eye when Wolverine pushed gambit out the way and locked the door to take on the sentinels!!

And that up roaring speech with the music how they might not all make it back alive. Beautiful fucking television.

It was the first introductions I got to the characters as a child and it really blew my mind away. I didn’t appreciate this season as much as I do now as an adult, purely because the adult topics it touched on I was too young to understand. But I knew it was something fucking special, lets put it that way.

Wolverine was always my favourite, as to many of its viewers but I held a soft spot for the likes of Gambit and Rogue too.

Where it was shit.

Oh my God how the show got tediously confusing as it went on was frustratingly laughable sometimes. If you missed an episode you were playing catch up for 20 minuets!!

The whole Phoenix saga and dinosaur land place went over my head as a child and in turn probably helped towards the shows demise in 97.

However the writers saw this coming and I must admit ended the show with class and dignity.

Quoted from the last episode titled Graduation Day from The Professor.

Gambit, how often must the scoundrel prove himself a hero before he believes it himself?

Jubilee, you are the future. When I look at your face, I see hope.

Storm; my beautiful Storm. Mighty as a hurricane, gentle as a summer rain. You honour me with your friendship.

Wolverine. Loner, you have found a family. Wild savage, you have found dignity. Cynic, you have found faith.

Rogue, unable to touch. Yet look around you – you will find you have touched us all.

Jean, first in my heart. Your courage allowed you to see things no other human ever has, yet remain the same innocent child I met so very long ago.

[To Beast] The friends thou hast and their adoption tried; grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel.

Scott, were I your father, I would tell you that no truer son could ever be.

I am proud, proud of you all. My X-Men."

Are you crying yet? I bawled like a baby.

It's an inspired ending and gave rest to the showwhich 90t’s children idiolised.

Overall opinion

A TV series not to be over looked. As a superhero fan and animation geek, its up there stuck a must watch stamp with the likes of Spiderman and Batman. So listen Bub, its A 5/5 rating from us a BTF here.
