Page Yield is an approximation of the number of standard pages that can be printed with one cartridge, usually measured at 5% page coverage. 5% coverage is a standard 8.5 x 11 inch page with a light letterhead, address and three paragraphs of text double spaced. If you print mixed text and graphics or WebPages your page coverage is closer to 15% and therefore the number of pages printed with each cartridge will be less. If you are printing photos your page coverage is close to 100% and the number of printed photos will be much less than the amount the number of pages you would be able to print if you were just printing standard text documents.

How to Update Your Kitchen Cabinets
Updating kitchen cabinets make tired drab kitchens look fresh again. Knowing how to update kitchen cabinets, can save you the cost of completely replacing them. Most cabinets, no matter how unattractive or outdated, can be drastically improved by following the tips below.
Clean your cabinets. A good cleaning may bring new luster to tired but handsome wood. Try TSP to remove grim and grease.
Change the hardware. Try something zippy, like bent twig fork handles, hand-painted ceramic knobs, clear glass handles and knobs, or metal pharmacy pulls. For unity, match cabinet hardware and faucet finishes (all brass, copper, steel, iron, or so on).
Paint them. A little paint goes a long way. Are you going Contemporary? Paint simple cabinets with a high gloss lacquer-look finish in a zingy new color or colors. For example, paint base cabinets one color and wall-hung cabinets another. Antiqued cabinets in off white, buttery yellow, mellow rose, watermelon red, and apple green add an Old World charm that's especially comforting. Paint cabinets high-gloss white for an instant Country look. Or stain them a natural, wood color in the Victorian style.
Add bead board as a backsplash and paint it a crisp white. Paint your cabinets' outsides white and the insides a nautical blue for a seaside effect.
Relaminate all cabinets in one solid color. Or, for a more Contemporary or Eclectic look, mix and match colors and interesting patterns. For example, keep the cabinet boxes plain and add different colored or patterned doors (or vice versa).
Exchange old doors on plain cabinets. Try new fancy doors in the style of your choice.
Add classic architectural trims to plain cases. You can include fluted pilasters at the corners, pediments, and crown moldings on top or deep base moldings at the bottom.

Cloud computing continues to challenge traditional technology acquisition models, but the General Services Administration is trying to overcome that.
One possible approach is a brokerage through which an entity – a contractor or agency – would serve as a middleman to connect agencies with providers who can meet their needs. GSA published a request for information July 17 to get a sense of the market options.
According to the RFI, its purpose is "to learn more about how government can further leverage the key characteristics and advantages of cloud computing to save money and increase IT efficiencies. Cloud brokerage is one concept that GSA is exploring and this RFI contains questions specific to cloud brokerage. However, on a larger scale GSA is seeking innovative industry approaches to acquiring, ordering, securing, provisioning and managing advanced IT services."
GSA will host an industry day Aug. 2 for interested companies.

Handmade silk tie
Material: 100% silk
Care: Professionally clean
Brand: Ben Sherman Neckwear
Origin: Imported
Though you might never have heard of Arthur Benjamin Sugarman, you surely recognize Ben Sherman: the name of Sugarman's iconic mostly-menswear label. Based in the southern seaside city of Brighton, England, Sugarman launched his clothing company in 1963 — the moment when fashion and music converged, and the rocker style was born — with a collection of button-down shirts that quickly caught on with stylish young gents across the UK. Ever since, Ben Sherman has served as the go-to source for well-dressed Anglophiles, post-modern mods, and in-the-know music buffs in Britain and beyond. To supplement its line of slim-fitting jeans, jackets, suits, and other men's essentials, Ben Sherman offers a diverse line of neckties and accessories — including skinny ties, bow ties, boardroom-appropriate polka-dotted and striped versions, and tie clips. Neckwear is just one facet of Ben Sherman's exhaustive accessories collection, which also features shoes and boots, hats, and bags.
