SINGAPORE: Muslim travel agencies in Singapore are starting to offer more packages all year round to various destinations, including new ones like Uzbekistan, Bosnia and Cuba.
It is part of the agencies' effort in finding a niche in the competitive travel market. Muslim travel agencies have been plagued by limited haj visas for two years in a row.
Before this, 30 per cent to 50 per cent of their businesses depended on haj packages.
Now, some offer packages like an 8—day tour of Uzbekistan in Central Asia. The former Soviet state has many Muslim attractions, like the tomb of Imam Bukhari and close friends of Prophet Muhammad.
It is one of the many exotic destinations that Muslim travel agencies in Singapore are increasingly promoting.
"We have more matured travellers now Food is not the issue now. They want to see places, they want to shop, and they want to have an experience of a lifetime. That's more important," said Ayoob Angullia, Managing Director of Shahidah Travel Pte Ltd.

When I say, Xara isn't a memory hog, I have to clarify, that some effects placed in layers upon layers, does get memory intensive. Often I cheat, by taking the most memory hogging layers, and export that portion as a transparent PNG (multiple layers selected), delete the actual layers then import the converted layers to place on the map.
Its smart to keep the pieces as a separate file, in case you need to go back and make some changes. Cheating is often a part of the creation process to make things work more smoothly.

|A New Roar In The Land Of Tigers

Robert Garcia May Be Young For A Head Coach, But He Could Be The Jolt Of Energy The San Fernando High Football Program Needs
New Direction, New Hope - Senior running back Daemon Thompson and junior quarterback Chris Solano say new head Coach Robert Garcia is re-energizing the San Fernando football program.
It's not uncommon to see young head coaches leading sports teams at the high school level. But it is a surprise to see it in football. Even a man in his 40s can seem boyish for this game.
So what exactly does that make Trinidad Roberto Garcia – "Call me Robert" – the new head football coach San Fernando High who, at 28, is young enough to sport diamond studs in both ears, be well versed in Facebook and Twitter, sport several tattoos and appears not that far removed from the campus of Kennedy High, where he graduated from in 2002 before going on to UCLA?
Garcia's hiring in April may have sent choruses of "Who?" reverberating throughout the Valley – unless they were area football coaches who already know about him.
And Garcia certainly wasn't unfamiliar to San Fernando officials. He has previously coached the junior varsity team and the varsity linemen here as an assistant since 2006. But Garcia, whose football team opens the 2012 season at Chatsworth at 7 p.m. tonight, Aug. 30, was not hired because he grew up in Pacoima or might listen to the latest rap tunes. He has been given the chance to revive a proud program that has slipped into mediocrity.
As an undersized defensive tackle at UCLA – if a 5-10, 275- pound frame can be considered undersized – Garcia knows something about taking on challenges, be it oversized offensive linemen or the quarter system.
"I've been an assistant here for seven years," Garcia said. "I've been coaching the defensive line, and I've had some All- City linemen. And I've grown attached to San Fernando High School. I went to Kennedy High (graduating in 2002), but my brother worked here, that's why I came.
"I went to UCLA, graduated in 2006. Right after I finished I came here. I wanted to help the kids out. A lot of these kids don't have the tools to get to the next level, or coaches helping them."
Garcia replaces Tom Hernandez, who played football at San Fernando High and earned All- City honors as a lineman, coached the team for two different periods totaling 20 years. The second stint lasted from 2004-2011, and Hernandez managed just a 38-37 record in that span before resigning in February.
Garcia inherits 18 returning players from teams that posted consecutive 3-7 records, and missed the playoffs the last two years. Many are kids who Garcia coached at the junior varsity level; in fact, the junior varsity went undefeated under him two years ago.
He is determined to recover what's missing in the varsity squad. He said he already knows one ingredient. "I want toughness," Garcia said. "We couldn't close out games last year and the year before. I believe it's mental toughness and preparation for the kids.
"My whole team is eligible this year; and guys have gotten faster and stronger. We're not just creating a team but building a program. That's what I'm trying to do – build the program back to where it used to be."
He talks earnestly about the pride the players should have in their school and about being from the neighborhood. "We are playing with all the guys who come to San Fernando that want to play here, know what I mean? There's no transfer guys coming in; all the guys are from San Fernando, the Pacoima area, the borderline of Sylmar."
He said he would lean on veterans like senior running back Daemon Thompson, and junior quarterback Chris Solano to provide leadership and production, to be examples of what it means to play football at San Fernando.
Both players seem eager to embrace those roles.
Thompson, 17, was a starter as a sophomore in 2010, but injured his right ankle on the second play of last year's season opener. His 2011 season was basically done after that. "There's going to be a chip on my shoulder," Thompson said.
"I've got to prove to people that my 10th grade year wasn't a fluke year. I've got to come out and do the best that I can."
Solano, 16, split time at quarterback with Javier Aguilar. He wound up completing 34 of 85 pass attempts for 370 yards and threw four touchdowns, but also five interceptions.
He said he spent his summer dedicated to being the only starting quarterback San Fernando needs. "I have to lead the team more. I have to step up as a junior, show that I'm serious about playing quarterback and leading this team. I've been working hard, working out routes after practice, the weight room. But we've all been putting in more time than we usually do, just to know we're all on point."
Both agree that Garcia and the staff he's assembled have surrounded the team with positive vibes about the direction of Tiger football.
"It's been a big change, a good change," Solano said. "Everybody's ready to play. Everybody's out there hyped up, as in pumped up, ready to go." "The players are showing a lot more stamina, a little more enthusiasm," adds Thompson.
"Everybody's pumped up all the time, ready to play the game. … It's the environment he's brought to us.
"I feel the weight has been lifted. I don't know about everybody else, but I feel it's been lifted off our shoulders."
Thompson is referring to the probation given to the San Fernando football and wrestling teams two years ago for using an ineligible player. But he could also be speaking about the general fortunes of Tigers athletics that, with the exception of the wrestling and baseball teams, have endured some tough times.
Garcia sees turning things around as his mandate. And being only 28 should give him plenty of time.
"I am bringing to them the best coaching staff I can to mentor them. As for uniforms, we're all going to wear the same thing. Nobody is going to outshine anybody else. This is one team. That goes from the best guys down to the decent guys. They all have a lot to prove after going 3-7 the past two years," Garcia said.
"It's gotta start somewhere. And I'm proud it starts here with me at San Fernando High. My neighborhood school was Kennedy, that's why I went there. But I know the tradition here; I've seen it from a bunch of the alumni, how seriously they take it. The least I can do for them is win, and give them something to look back at."

I've decided to acquaint myself with the "rules" of writing a blog. Whenever I think of the word Blog itself I think of the movie Julie and Julia. And Amy Adams perky voice runs through my mind with her description of yummy things to eat (random thought: I've always wanted to try bruschetta). What also comes to mind is The Devil Wears Prada… oddly. It had nothing to do with blogging but I think I relate the two things together because they have a similar "veil". They both portray an elegance (is class the right word?) of unattainable status. It takes a lot of hard work to get what you want out of this world and I guess that's maybe the thought that underlines all three movies for me. We all have means of using our voice, but do we use it correctly to get what we want? Blogging: a distraction from the real world but can have its connections/pros. Am I using my voice in the best way I can?
In the words of Amy Adams: is there anyone out there?

After back-to-back debates Saturday night and Sunday morning, GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney got his hair mussed but the general consensus among debate watchers and pundits is that the former Massachussets governor was not hurt enough to stop his momentum.
University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato:
Romney was dinged in the second debate, but not seriously wounded. Basically, the candidates firmed up their own individual base but I don't think they took much away from Romney either in terms of Republicans or independents.
Sabato's assessment was echoed by a panel of New Hampshire voters assembled by Capitol Hill Blue. Romney supporters said they didn't see anything in either debate to swing them away from their candidate while undecideds said they are now leaning in Romney's direction.
"I wasn't sure coming into the weekend," said Melanie Akers. "Now I'm leaning towards Romney."
But most of those who support Romney said their choice was driven more by the weakness of the other candidates than by Romney himself.
"It's a weak field," said Jonathan Haskins. "Romney seems the least weak."
Such lackluster support appears to indicate that voters could be persuaded to change, given the right candidate, but don't feel the right one has come along.
"What we are dealing with here is a bunch of dogs," said Lowell Welch. "I'm doing with Romney. He's the dog with the least fleas."
Missing from the panel was any real passion for any of the candidates. Most expressed disappointment with Rick Santorum, fresh off his surge in Iowa, and support for Ron Paul, the candidate who usually has the most ardent fan base, appeared muted.
"Dr. Paul has some good ideas but he also has a lot of baggage," said Lucille Moore, a former Paul supporter who now backs Romney.
Most polls show an easy win for Romney and with a new poll showing strength in South Carolina, Romney appears in the best shape of any candidate in the crowded GOP field. In New Hampshire, the only fight appears to be between Santorum and Paul for who will finish in a distant second place.

8 Responses to "Romney roughed up a little in second New Hampshire debate"
Governor Mitt Romney is a Mormon; not part of the Evangelical Christian movement that is now the GOP. Many of us who were raised in the Mormon faith learned to keep quiet about the family religion. The Republican Party is Evangelical and will shun any religion that is not based on the salvation delivered only by Jesus Christ. We saw this clearly demonstrated by the Candidates who have taken a stand against Romney and Huntsman.
The Internet has opened up dialog where other religions are heavily contested and even Secular Humanists from the Universities have no interest in any religion being brought into the White House or Congress.
An enormous number of Americans are returning to right over wrong bypassing all references to an occult superstition being thrown at us from every angle. Sadly, a top-heavy religious government has a tendency to grow corrupt as it is too easy to beg for forgiveness leaving Americans trying to exist under a growing corruption even from State Governments.
For every decent Gov. Huckabee there always pops up a corrupt Speaker Gingrich. With a dramatic change of agenda, the good and decent candidates are washed away by the loud mouth hypocrites.
Romney is estimated to be worth over $200 million dollars (or something close to that figure).
Roughed up? Hardly.
You know what I like most about Mitt Romney is he's really in touch with the average American. (sarc)
How do Americans expect to be represented by these people when these same people haven't and won't ever rub elbows with these candidates in the grocery store.
Get real!
I wonder if all of the American voting public (on television) who are shown smiling, taking pictures and shaking hands with these plutocrats realize how pathetic they look?
Americans are in need of some perspective and harsh reality checks.
Yeh, any one of us could run into Mitt at a Ralph's or Von's, maybe a Walgreen's? LOL!
Yeh, he's one of us!
I'm betting his haircut's cost more than some people make in a week, who will vote for him!
Roughed up? Mitt Romney has never been roughed up in his silver spooned life.
Romney's net worth is between $190 and $250 million. His biggest campaign contributors are as follows:
Goldman Sachs $367,200
Credit Suisse Group $203,750
Morgan Stanley $199,800
HIG Capital $186,500
Barclays $157,750
Kirkland & Ellis $132,100
Bank of America $126,500
PriceWaterhouseCoopers $118,250
EMC Corp $117,300
JPMorgan Chase & Co $112,250
The Villages $97,500
Vivint Inc $80,750
Marriott International $79,837
Sullivan & Cromwell $79,250
Bain Capital $74,500
Wells Fargo $61,500
Blackstone Group $59,800
Citigroup Inc $57,050
Bain & Co $52,500
Please note: The organizations themselves did not donate , rather the money came from the organizations' PACs, their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals' immediate families.
Romney helped found Bain & Co where he dismantled a number of corporations. I've heard he is personally responsible for at least 200,000 people losing their jobs to provide more capital to Bain and his partners.
If we want to watch the United States be dismantled, Romney has the experience to line his and his supporters pockets while dishing out the pain to the little guys. Sounds like a fascist wet dream.
Pardon me, Romney helped found Bain Capital, not Bain & Co.
But really the worst part about Romney, is that no know really knows what he stands for. His positions change with the breeze. This is the type of guy that will shake your hand in public while signing your pink slip behind closed doors. Once he's President, maybe he'll sign your death warrant or indefinite detention order.
"is that no one really knows"
Millions of Americans have no firm convictions for or against the social issues. I've mad a general statement that is on my bumper of my car "I am pro choice" on everything. I guess I'm waiting for another candidate who has the same agenda. I apparently trust Americans to make honest choices and so far only the Libertarians are so inclined.
The problem is not the candidates so much as it is within the RNC and DNC. No Republican can win without the backing of the RNC. This was strengthened by the Bush 43 Administration with his choice of judges all the way to the Supreme Court.
Having great wealth did not hurt FDR or even JFK. It is only when a Republican is wealthy that it seems to matter.
On this subject, a brand new book is shipping out today written by Dylan Rattigan and is called "Greedy Bastards" and is an expose' of the harm great wealth has done to our government. Dylan is a commentator at MSNBC and his honest comments on greedy government employees is terrific and very difficult to assign a political party to his opinions. He was on Rachel Maddow's show last night and talked about the research he did on the book that was so stressful he gained a ton of weight and went back to smoking. My copy is in the mail and I will read and review it online. I'm now affiliated with several other sites so I can do this all over the 'net. I've gotten into so much trouble at CHB that I will pass on reviewing it here.
But really the worst part about Romney, is that no know really knows what he stands for. His positions change with the breeze.
Wow, sounds like someone else all of us on CHB know.
I guess he's your typical (run of the mill) politician?
The American people can't expect to have any representation in government until they end campaign contributions and lobbying.
Thank you for the figures Woody, they are sobering.

Ask the Car Insurance Expert
How long do I have to buy insurance on a car I just purchased?
If you don't have car insurance on another vehicle, you'll need to buy a policy before you drive the new car off the dealer's lot. In fact, in states that require drivers to have car insurance, the dealer will need to see proof of insurance before you drive away.
[Let Insure.com help you find affordable car insurance now.]
If you already have car insurance on a vehicle, the current policy will likely cover the new car temporarily. Usually you have 14 to 30 days to let your insurance company know you purchased a new car. The time period varies by company. Some states also have rules for how long the grace period must be. Don't put off calling the insurance company. You'll end up driving uninsured if you don't buy coverage before the grace period ends.
Keep in mind that during the grace period, only the existing coverage carries over to the new car. If you don't have collision and comprehensive insurance on your old car, the new car won't have that coverage either until you purchase a new policy. That means you will have no insurance to cover damage to the car. If the vehicle is stolen or totaled in an accident, for instance, you will have to pay out of your own pocket to replace the car.
Although most states require you to buy liability insurance -- which covers damage and injuries you cause others -- no states require collision or comprehensive insurance. But if you get a loan to buy the car, the bank will likely require you to buy those optional types of coverage.
When financing a vehicle purchase with a car loan, you might also consider gap insurance. This coverage pays the difference between the amount you owe on the car and the amount the insurance company pays if the car is totaled. New cars depreciate as soon as you drive them off the lot. Car insurance companies generally pay for the actual cash value of a vehicle if it's damaged beyond repair. Without gap insurance, you could still owe money on a destroyed car, even after the insurance company has compensated you for the vehicle's value.

I'm sorry, this is just too damn funny. The shmucks over at smashmyxbox.com raised $430 in donations in order to purchase an XBox 360 at launch outside of a Best Buy last night at midnight.
Right after buying the XBox 360 they smashed it with a sledgehammer in front of hundreds of poor saps waiting outside Best Buy in the hopes of buying one.
It's cruel and a waste of one of the scarce XBox 360′s, but damn funny. The crew will be releasing videos of their crimes on the 23rd and a longer version on the 26th.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Colorado State women's basketball squad looks to improve in conference play during the 2013-14 season. Now in his second year, Head Coach Ryun Williams will heavily rely on the team's six returning letterwinners as well as eight newcomers. The Rams will face a difficult league slate, including four teams that went to the postseason last year.

In the past two months I have had two mortgages declined in Cardiff. The reason? Japanese Knotweed.
In one property, the Japanese Knotweed was 15 foot from the garden boundary wall but still considered a potential nuisance that could cause significant damage, costs or insurance claims in the future. As a result of this, I have conducted my own research in Japanese Knotweed and how it affects property owners in the UK.
What is Japanese Knotweed?
(Japanese Knotweed image credit: LoopZilla, FlickR)
Japanese Knotweed is an ornamental plant that was introduced into Britain in the 19th Century. It has proven to be an incredibly robust plant that outcompetes many of the UK's native plants and animals, growing profusely in a widespread range of habitats, including roadsides, riverbanks, gardens and derelict buildings.
It can grow a staggering 10cm a day!
Not to be ignored - Japanese Knotweed has now become an increasing problem for home buyers
This is due to a number of factors.
1) Councils cutting back on eradication or control due to budget constraints.
2) An increasing awareness of lenders of the possible effect on their security.
3) Surveyors actively looking for this weed in gardens and within the close vicinity of the property to avoid possible future claims.
Knotweed and the law
The Environment Agency describes Japanese knotweed as the most invasive species of plant in Britain. Landowners are under a statutory duty to be proactive in the control and eradication of it. All parts of the plant and any soil contaminated with it are classified as controlled waste and must be removed and disposed of by a licensed waste control operator. Here, Chris Alexander, a property litigation lawyer at SA Law, outlines your legal rights:
If you have Japanese knotweed on your land:
It is not an offence to have Japanese knotweed on your land and it is not a notifiable weed. However, under Section 14(1) and (2) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, it is a criminal offence to plant Japanese knotweed or otherwise cause it to grow in the wild. It is a defence to a prosecution to prove that all reasonable steps were taken and all due diligence was exercised by the landowner.
If your neighbor has Japanese knotweed on their land:
Again, it is not an offence for Japanese knotweed to be present on your neighbour's land but allowing it to encroach onto your property may constitute a private nuisance under common law.
A landowner affected by knotweed growth from a neighbouring property may therefore be able to apply to court for an injunction requiring the neighbouring owner to abate the nuisance. Such a claim can also include a sum of money in damages to reflect the cost of any physical damage to the property and/or the diminution in value of the landowner's property as a result of the nuisance.
The removal, eradication and disposal of the weed may be expensive but given that the presence of it can impede the sale of your property and/or affect the value, a least-risk approach would be to have it removed by licensed contractors and properly disposed of.
The lenders are now trying to come to grips with a coherent lending strategy for properties with Japanese Knotweed nearby. Leeds, Woolwich and Santander will automatically decline a mortgage if found the plant is found in the garden. Woolwich will also decline if it is found close to the property. Halifax, Nationwide and Virgin Money (previously Northern Rock) consider lending with guarantees or an indemnity in place. All lenders will take into account surveyors' comments.
This area of lending is very fluid and you should contact us for the current position of lenders.

THE MOVIEEEE!3 Reviews
This'll be about the movie that I just got back from, and stuff on updates and stuff.
Right. Now for info on fics.
I am updating This Blood Evacuation today, I've planned out a good chapter, and the end of it. zips lips so I can tell any of you the ending
Also. Reno is my co-planner in this, you guys can be co-planners too, just ask, and we'll discuss chapters and stuff over Twitter DM, Facebook or Email.
I might write a new poem today, I dunno. I WILL update my Romance Oneshots sometime soon, as I haven't done that in a while. I has a few ideas floating around up here taps the side of my head where my brain is
I go back to school tomorrow screams
But, I do have some things to do at school, all involing my preparation of the PTV concert in May squeals and fangirls again
My checklist for the concert-preparation:
1. Ask Ellie if she wants to go, and see if she can pay for herself and if she's allowed.
2. Find out when the May half term is gonna be, so I can know whether I have the holiday during the week of the concert.
3. Plan with parents (Mum.) about getting us there, and plan with Ellie sleeping arrangments and shit (whether I stay at her's for the night, or she stays at mine for the night.)
There. Three simple steps.
Also, I need the lowdown of concerts, like how long they usually are, signings and stuff, the usual, getting in, how ya do that and stuff. Any concert survival tips too would help. Like mosh pits, and how to deal with them, and getting to the barrier (although when I looked at the place it looked like a shop (?) so I dunno wether there's a barrier or not)
So, lay those concert tips on me, they'll be greatly appreciated.
Also. ASH YOU IS ALIVE AND WELL OMG DON'T EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN TIGHT HUGGLES
Right. TIME TO UPDATE DA FIC!

College students today who are sexually active should consider using a barrier method to prevent transmission of a disease and a hormonal method to prevent pregnancy...so choosing a method of contraception is an important decision.
Here's a brief list of what is on the market today. For more detailed info on how it works, the effectiveness, benefits, things to consider and cost visit www.smartersex.org, a Website developed especially for college students; we think you will really like it.

A New Use For Chromebooks: DOSBox
So…Google's Chromebooks didn't make as big a wave as they were hoping – which is to say that they've barely even made a ripple. It was definitely a cool idea, to be fair: unfortunately, it was one which only caught the interest of a very niche market. The problem, after all, with an ultra lightweight notebook like the Chromebook is that, well…
It can be a bit too lightweight for most users.
Anyway, we're getting off track. Today's article isn't about the successes or failures of the Chromebook. Rather, we're going to talk about something any enterprising user could do with their Chromebook (or a Chrome browser, if one's so inclined.). Some time ago, I made a post about Google Chrome's Native Client. Today, Reddit's JulietteStray reminded me of one particular use for Native Client: playing old school DOS games in Chrome.
The website is known as NACLBox.com, and it's just the ticket if you feel like the game selection on your Chromebook is a touch sparse. Basically, it's a cloud-based DOSBOX for Chrome. Right out the door, you've got a decent selection of DOS games to choose from, and the website, which is entirely cloud-based, offers a number of subscription plans for those of you who want to upload your own old-school titles. Sounds pretty good, right?
The whole project was designed by a fellow named Robert Isaacs who, to hear the poster on Reddit talk about it, is quite dedicated and hard-working.
So…that's…pretty much all I've got to say about this one. If you're looking to play a few awesome old-school games on your Chromebook, NACLBox is probably one of your best bets – particularly if you've a bit of money to spend on a subscription. Might be just the ticket to spice things up if you feel your Chromebook's getting a little bland.
One response to A New Use For Chromebooks: DOSBox
Patrick Holt June 24th, 2013 at 9:43 pm
This may be true, however none of the games available on NaCLBox work on a chromebook as the ChromeOS only supports Native Client apps available from the Chrome Store…

Choices. They're what define our gameplay experiences. You're either good, or you play long enough to see yourself become the bad guy. Those choices can also impact on the ending of games in various colour-coded ways, and it looks like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is also going to have some endings based on decisions made during the course of the game.
If there's one thing that I have learnt from playing The Walking Dead episodic quick-time event, it's that I am a horrible, horrible person. Even though I insist that using Clementine as a strap-on zombie shield would have been brilliant. Decisions made in that game carried weight, and with a sequel on the cards, Telltale Games is looking to carry the impact of those choices, into season two.
If there's one thing that game are lacking today, it's the option of giving players choices that actually matter. Choices never seem to truly resonate with players, and most times, those decisions never leave a player to reflect on what they've done, and feel any sort of empathy towards their choice. Keiji Inafune wants to change that apathetic approach though, with his upcoming PS Vita title, Soul Sacrifice.

High quality performance, appearance cosmetics, toiletries, pharmaceuticals
SBS- range of thickness, caliper, more smooth consistent in quality than other grades
Coated Unbleached Board
(or Natural kraft) variety of characteristics for specialty product
Made for variety of printing processes
Smoothness = f (n physical properties)
Increase of smoothness negatively affects: tear, basis weight, bulk, long fiber content

Outside Wax Laminated Paperboard (OWL)
Packaging the products that require high degree of moisture vapor protection
(powdered, granulated dry bleach)
OWL made by wax laminating a coated two side litho grade paper to an uncoated recycled paper board
Caliper- customer specification
Printing surface depending on paper surface, amount of the wax adhesive, surface of recycled board
High quality graphic reproduction
Temperature of gravure press dryers- excess T- delamination (wax melts)
Physical properties strength, durability- made according to standard
test procedures
TAPPI- Technical Association for Pulp and Paper Industry
CPPA- Canadian Pulp and Paper Association
GATF- Graphic Arts Technical Foundation
ASTM- American Society for Testing Materials
Resistance of paper to puncture
Perkins Mullen instrument
Bursting pressure- applied by rubber diaphragm at controlled increasing rate
30.5 mm diameter
Bursting strength [kPa]
Thickness of the paper- perpendicular distance between top and bottom
Value given in micrometers, or thousands of inch
Pressure 50 ?2 kPa during 3 sec- determination of caliper
Simulate gravure printing- evaluate smoothness- skipped dots, ink holdout,
print through, print gloss
TAPPI Useful Method 561
Loss of weight measured after being dried to a constant weight at 105 ? 2 oC
Mass in pounds of ream of paper ream can be 480-500 sheets
Sheet can have 13 different sizes (traditionally from 19th century)
Grammage- ISO - air-dry basis: 23 ? 1 oC, 50?% relative humidity
Amount of light reflected by a substrate [% standard]
Spectrophotometer- 457 nm diffuse illumination and normal viewing- ISO brightness (diffuse brightness)
Show-through- of print from back side
Measure of hiding power (light scattered and absorbed) of the sheet
Amount of light reflected from a single sheet placed over a black backing, expressed as a % of reflection from the same sheet backed by effectively opaque pile of the same paper
Can be measured with 3 well-known systems: Dominant wave length and
purity, Hunter l,a,b and CIE L*a*b* values- spectrophotometer
L* Lightness [%] ranging: 100% - perfect white 0%-perfect black
a* redness (+a) or greenness (-a)
b* yellowness (+b) or blueness (-b)
Standard TAPPI T 524 OM-86
Paper surface reflectance- smooth papers will give shiny, lustrous appearance
Specular gloss- the angle of incident light is equal to angle of reflected light
20, 45, 60, 75-degree specular gloss, 75 deg paper specially
Porous material- gaps- pores- passage of fluids (inks)
Porosity- measured as air permeability
Gurley Densometer TAPPI T460
Sheffield Porosity tester
Porosity by forcing air through paper, measuring the rate of the flow
Gurley- the time it takes for 100 cubic centimeters of air to pass through the sheet
Higher value- denser sheet
Sheffield- the rate of flow at continuous flow of air.
Parker Print Surf- the same principle
Here- the higher the number- the lower paper density
Porosity- high enough to allow vehicle to penetrate, pores small enough not to allow pigment to soak in. Ink holdout- indirectly- gloss, density
Smoothness-top priority for gravure, offset
Smooth- free of irregularities
Measure smoothness- measure the extent of irregularities
Roughness- deviation of the surface from the ideal plane
Tests: smoothness of free surface vs. smoothness under pressure (mimic printing nip)
Air leak tests: paper pressed against annulus (ring) with flat surface
Flow of air between paper and annulus measure of roughness
Sheffield Roughness most widely used in USA
Clamps paper using 2 concentric annular lands (rings with indentations permitting air flow) against glass surface
Air-constant pressure, fills space between lands and paper surface
The air flow across the paper surface is determined
Parker-Print-Surf Roughness- widely accepted in last years
PPS- roughness under pressure

(I know my geek is showing, but I adore the first two Mummy films 1) because I've always been fascinated with ancient Egypt and archeology and 2) because I fell madly in love with Evie—-brilliant, fearless, strong, sexy—-but mostly brilliant. Everything I love in a woman.) (Image source: starman/fanpop.com) #films #sexy brits. #rachelweisz #rewatchingTheMummyReturnsagain #gorgeous women #amazingcharacters

SPOKANE – Mail carriers are delivering blue pastic bags with your mail on Thursday and Friday in hopes that you will fill them Saturday morning for the Stamp Out Hunger food drive.
The food collected goes to Second Harvest, which distributes the donations to food banks all across the Inland Northwest. Second Harvest Chief Resource Officer Rod Wieber said the drive comes at a time where donations are needed.
"Our shelves our critically-low," Wieber said. "We're coming out of the winter months where we've had a lot of holiday drives, but our food now is getting pretty much depleted from our food banks."
The letter carriers set up the food drive for this time of year anticipating the need for food in the summer, when school is out. Children who typically receive free and reduced lunches use up more of their family's food supply when they're eating all meals at home.
Donations should be left in a bag by your mailbox by 9 a.m. on Saturday. Donations can also be brought in to any post office by Saturday.

A man featured in the 14 News mug shot round up is back behind bars, but the process was not that simple.
Vincent Bufkin was wanted by the Evansville Police Department for failing to register as a sex offender.
The department got a call today indicating that he was in line to get breakfast at the United Caring Shelter.
When they arrived to take him into custody he allegedly ran, fought, and bit an officer during his arrest.
He finally was handcuffed and taken into custody. He was taken to a local hospital for injuries sustained during the arrest, and was then taken to jail.
He'll face an additional charge of "Battery of a law enforcement agent."
The officer had bruising and broken skin on his forearm where he was bitten.
