Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cran soft and cozy throw For 15 bucks this is pretty great. soft cozy and has the earthy look i was going for. I cna see how it could snag easily but hasn't yet. October 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RobinsonInteriors As pictured I selected this throw because of its colors, and I'm happy to say the photography online was excellent. The throw is exactly as it appears on the website. Since it is loosely woven, I'm certain snagging will probably be an issue, although I have it in a decorative location and not one that gets much use, so I'm very happy with this item.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
There are numerous benefits of following a regular exercise program - even for individuals who are challenged by such conditions as joint pain, back pain, arthritis, or osteoporosis - or individuals who are recovering from an injury or surgery (i.e., joint replacement, arthroscopy). Exercise has also been shown to be beneficial to people of all ages, as it helps to lower blood pressure, lower the risks of falls and serious injuries (such as hip or wrist fractures), and slow the body's loss of muscle and bone mass. In addition, exercise helps to accomplish the following:
It is never too late to start an exercise program. With today's medical technology and scientific advances, the average life-expectancy for men and women is increasing. Coupled with this is the fact that with longer lives, people are looking for a higher quality of living - with greater importance placed on independent, healthy living. Exercise is a great way to keep older people active, but should be approached with caution. Exercise does not have to be vigorous to be beneficial. Even a walk around the park or 30 minutes working in the garden can be helpful for any age body and mind.

The Southern Illinois Sleep Disorders Center at St. Elizabeth's Hospital specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea and other sleep-related disorders.
Sleep disorders affect millions of Americans, but too often they go unrecognized by both patients and physicians. As many as one third of all adults experience insomnia, and two to four percent of middle-aged adults may have significant breathing disorders during sleep. Other less common sleep disorders include narcolepsy, nocturnal movement disorders, and sleep-walking or other unusual behaviors.
Untreated sleep disorders can have significant medical and social consequences. Excessive sleepiness may impair work efficiency, affect mood and increase the risk of injury on the job or while driving. Sleep-related breathing disorders are associated with high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke.
The Southern Illinois Sleep Disorders Center offers a comprehensive evaluation of patients with sleep-related complaints. After an evaluation by one of the Sleep Center physicians, patients may be referred for an overnight sleep study. In some cases, additional day studies may be needed as well. Sophisticated diagnostic equipment is used to non-invasively monitor brain, heart, respiratory and muscle activity during sleep. Most insurance companies provide coverage for these studies.
Most sleep disorders can be successfully and safely treated. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for breathing disorders, medication, behavioral modification, or consultation with another medical specialist, such as an ENT physician.
The Southern Illinois Sleep Disorders Center is located on the fourth floor of the hospital.
To schedule an evaluation:
Overnight sleep studies are performed in a comfortable, hotel-like setting at our Sleep Lab location within St. Elizabeth's Hospital. For more information, call 618-234-2120, ext. 1534 or 1-888-650-7474.
The Southern Illinois Sleep Disorders Center at St. Elizabeth's Hospital is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, considered the gold standard for sleep programs. It is the first accredited sleep center in Southern Illinois and one of only six accredited sleep centers in the St. Louis metro area.

Year Two of the Bowl Championship Series will bring a few new wrinkles to the process of selecting the teams to play in its national championship game.
The BCS made a mostly successful debut last season, with Tennessee beating Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl and becoming the unanimous choice as the national champion.
This time, the BCS modified its guidelines for selecting teams by adding five new computer ratings and toughened eligibility standards for its four bowl games. Also, a process is now in place that could strip weaker conferences of automatic bids, a move aimed at the Big East.
The BCS standings are determined through four factors: a combined ranking in The Associated Press media poll and USA Today/ESPN coaches' poll, computer surveys, strength of schedule, and won-loss record.
The series will again use the computer ratings of Jeff Sagarin, The New York Times and the Seattle Times. But it also will consider Richard Billingsley, Dunkel Index, Kenneth Massey, David Rothman and Matthews-Scripps Howard. A school's lowest ranking from the eight computer services will be thrown out.
Champions from the Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC, Atlantic Coast and Pac-10 conferences receive automatic bids to the BCS, which also includes two at-large teams.
The 1-2 teams in the BCS standings are matched in a national title game that rotates among the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta bowls. Using a regional format, the other three bowls select the remaining conference champions and at-large teams.
The 2000 title game will be held Jan. 4 at the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.
Last season, teams were eligible for at-large berths with either eight victories or by finishing no lower than 12th in the BCS standings. Now, teams must have nine regular-season wins over Division I-A opponents and at least a No. 12 ranking.
Also, each of the six BCS leagues must show it is worthy of that status. If a conference's automatic qualifiers failed to average at least a No. 12 BCS rating over a four-year period, it could be stripped of the bid.
Last season, Big East champion Syracuse (8-4) was 15th in the BCS standings and was routed by Florida 31-10 in the Orange Bowl.
One of the misconceptions of the BCS involved Kansas State, which ended up in the Alamo Bowl after losing only one game - the Big 12 championship - and finishing third in the final BCS standings. The feeling was that K-State, which lost to Purdue in the Alamo Bowl, deserved to play in a BCS game.
"We still feel the bowls, after you get past the 1-2 game, need to have some regional flexibility," BCS chairman Roy Kramer said. "You can't take two West Coast teams and play in Miami. You've got to have regional ties to make the bowls succeed."
The first BCS standings will be released Oct. 25.

After writing 12 other books, local author Shannon Hale is releasing her first sequel, Princess Academy: Palace of Stone. It's the long-awaited continuation of her Newbery-Award-winning Princess Academy book series, which has also made buzz at the bookstores and given her a legion of local readers.
Hale wrote Princess Academy seven years ago and hesitated to revisit the story. "I was afraid that anything I would write couldn't measure up," Hale says. But then inspiration struck. She stopped worrying and focused on the story she wanted to tell.
"A new idea occurred to me and it was so compelling that I had to write it out. There were definitely challenges, but I knew the characters so well and the setting so well that it felt like returning home," she says.
The new journey with familiar characters was satisfying but the sequel to her most popular book has put some pressure on Hale. "When the advanced copies went out to reviewers I had a panic attack," she says. "These things keep happening where I realize I really am a lot more anxious about this work than most others."
Hale felt equally uncertain when she wrote Princess Academy because the plot line wasn't as sweeping or complex as her previous books. "It felt like a smaller book to me. It was a more intimate story and I was sure everyone would be disappointed," she says.
"It was then 10 times more successful than any other book I've written. I can never tell how these books will be received. I just have to trust that if I like the story, my fans will," she says.
If Hale enjoying her books is any indication of how well her fans will like her latest book, they should be in for a treat. Hale is delighted with the sequel. "Writing it was very exciting and the ending is so satisfying to me. It is so powerful and true to the characters," she says.
Hale is looking forward to the release of the book and seeing her fans during an upcoming tour. Her appearances around Salt Lake are listed below:

Printing FAQ
General Questions
In which forum should I ask general questions?
Forum: General Discussion
Is there a checklist of things I need to look for?
- Loopback address (127.0.0.1) must be set.
- Loopback has been brought up.
The loopback is standard on all computers, but it must be defined or
many applications will break. It is defined in /etc/hosts.
If you take a look at /etc/hosts, you should see that
localhost is defined with the machine name and the loopback address.
cat /etc/hosts | grep 127.0.0.1
Should output something similar to
127.0.0.1 localhost toshy inetw.net
You should also check that the loopback network device has been brought
up. The command ifconfig should yield an entry similar to
lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2076 (2.0 Kb) TX bytes:2076 (2.0 Kb)
How do I print from OpenOffice?
You need to add the printer to OpenOffice separately. You can do
this by running the
spadmin or oopadmin program. The oopadmin
is found in newer versions of OpenOffice. There are two ways to
setup OpenOffice.
First Method: Many newer distributions have the printer setup as a separate
menu choice. For example, in RedHat 9, the
printer setup utility is on the OO menu -- click on the red hat in the lower
left, click on OpenOffice, and there printer setup is right along side
writer, calc, impress, and the rest.
Second Method: Just start OpenOffice. Make a new printer, and when
presented with the Choose a Driver screen, click on import and
browse to the location of your printer's PPD.
Use the default print commands, name the printer, set it as default,
and you are ready to go! Start OpenOffice.org1.0 and go to the print
screen, and select your printer. Print a test page, and you are done.
Why is the first page blank when I print from OpenOffice?
OpenOffice.org (and also other PPD-aware applications or print filters)
inserts printer-specific PostScript code into the PostScript output file
according to the definitions of the options in the PPD file, so that the
printer prints the document in the way the user has configured it by the
options in the "Properties" dialog. These inserted PostScript commands
are not generally understood by every PostScript interpreter (every
printer has its own PPD file), so GhostScript does not need to
understand them.
How do I know if USB printing is setup on my machine?
If you are using any recent distribution, USB is probably already
setup on your machine. You can still check it yourself.
Please note that you may need root privelages for many
of the commands.
Here are the steps to find out if you have USB setup and
enabled for printing.
1. Check your loaded Modules.
2. See if the USB Printer Driver is listed.
3. Look at the Kernel Log for usb traffic.
4. Look at the list of Attached Devices.
You can search the currently loaded modules.
This method is the quickest, but won't work if your USB drivers are
compiled into the kernel, the printer driver has been renamed, or
the modules simply are not loaded.
lsmod | grep printer # printer
If you see printer as the output, then you probably
have USB printing setup and working. If not, don't worry. This
command will fail on many systems.
Printer Driver
You can search the list of USB drivers available on your system,
and look for the usblp driver. If
the USB driver has been renamed, this method may fail.
cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers | grep usblp # 0- 15: usblp
If the usblp device is there, then you have a USB printer
driver. If not, try loading the printer driver manually
modprobe printer cat /proc/bus/usb/drivers | grep usblp # 0- 15: usblp
If you see an error message like
cat: /proc/bus/usb/drivers: No such file or directory
then you need to make sure that you have
mounted and enabled. See
Kernel Log
We will use the tail command to look at the kernel
log messags. If you don't know what a UNIX tail does, then
man tail
Run the tail command on your kernel or
system log files, and then disconnect and reconnect the printer.
You will see the kernel print messages about the event.
I can't tell you where your system log is, or what it is called,
because it varies between distributions. Log files are usually
located in /var/log/. Some common names are sys.log
and system.log.
tail -f /var/log/sys.log
Now, disconnect and reconnect the printer to see it register. Example Output
Mar 19 04:32:06 localhost kernel: hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/1/4/4, assigned device number 12 Mar 19 04:32:07 localhost kernel: printer.c: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 12 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x050D pid 0x0002
If there is no activity, you probably don't have USB enabled
at all. There is one last thing to try.
Attached Devices
You can check the list of all USB devices that are installed and
recognized on your system. This method will tell you if your
printer is being recognized or not, even if the printer modules
is not loaded.
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep usblp
Outputs something like
I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=07(print) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=usblp I: If#= 0 Alt= 1 #EPs= 2 Cls=07(print) Sub=01 Prot=02 Driver=usblp I: If#= 0 Alt= 2 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff Driver=usblp
if you see an error
cat: /proc/bus/usb/drivers: No such file or directory
then you don't have
usbfs mounted
or enabled. See
If you have USB enabled, but the USB
printer driver is not working, then you can get around this by
comparing the USB devices list before and after your printer has
been plugged in.
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > log1
Now (dis)connect the printer.
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices > log2
Compare the two logs, they should be different.
diff log1 log2
The output will vary, an example output is
< T: Bus=01 Lev=03 Prnt=08 Port=03 Cnt=02 Dev#= 10 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 < D: Ver= 1.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 < P: Vendor=050d ProdID=0002 Rev= 1.04 < C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 98mA < I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=07(print) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=usblp < E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms < I: If#= 0 Alt= 1 #EPs= 2 Cls=07(print) Sub=01 Prot=02 Driver=usblp < E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms < E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms < I: If#= 0 Alt= 2 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff Driver=usblp < E: Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms < E: Ad=82(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms < E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 4 Ivl=1ms
If you see something like Driver=<none> then the USB
printer driver is not loaded on your machine. Try
modprobe printer
Disconnect and reconnect the printer, and check the devices
list again. cat /proc/bus/usb/devices | grep usblp
It should now say Driver=usblp.
If nothing up to this point worked, you can try to load all
the USB modules by hand, and start over.
modprobe usbcore.o usb-uhci.o usb-ohci.o printer.o
Most systems don't need both uhci and ohci
How do I find out where my USB printer is connected?
If you have USB printing working, then you will need a
node so that programs can communicate with the device.
To see if a node has already been created
cd /dev find | grep usb
You should have an lp entry, similar to one of these.
/dev/usblp /dev/usblp0 /dev/usb/lp0
These lp entries indicate a parallel port, not a
USB printer.
lp0 lp1 lp2 lp3
If the USB printer node is not there, then you will need to
create it.
If the printer still won't print to the device, try deleting
it and recreating node. Old versions of the USB manual contained
a different mknod command, and your system may have the incorrect
device numbering. Use the rm command to delete
the node, and mknod to recreate the node according to
the USB manual
at http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x342.html
How do I determine which print spooler I am using?
Browse your local machine at port 631, and if a printer web interface comes
up, you have CUPS installed and running on that machine.
http://localhost:631 http://127.0.0.1:631
As root, you can find out if you have CUPS installed.
which cupsd # /usr/sbin/cupsd
If you look at the file /etc/printcap and the printer names do not
have any lines following them, you are most likely using CUPS. The top of
the file may also say it was generated by cupsd.
cat /etc/printcap
If you are using any other spooler, the /etc/printcap file
will contain many more lines for each printer entry.

Why does my Panasonic laser printer says Call Service E31?
The fuser is not able to maintain temperature.
Why do I get the error No valid software licence was found?
This can be caused by running the program /usr/sbin/printers
which is a proprietary application. Please obtain a license from
easy software. See http://www.easysw.com/printpro/faq0002.html
How do I print to a ZOT wireless print server?
The Zero One Technology print server is an arm processor running
Linux. They are available with both centronics and usb connectors,
and they work well with Linux. They are also very stable, and do not
require reboots.
The models known to be working are:
- PU100W (usb)
- PA100W (centronics parallel port)
If you have <fn>tftp</fn>, the print server supports tftp'ing the MAC address
to upload and download a configuration file. In this case, the
MAC address is simply the "Node ID" printed on the print server.
Refer to the manual on the included CD-ROM for directions.
To use a web browser, you will need the print server's IP address.
The print server comes with a fixed IP address. To discover what it
is, you can do the following steps.
1. Download and install arpmonitor
which is locate at http://planeta.terra.com.br/informatica/gleicon/code/index.html
2. Start arpmonitor, so that it will monitor the wireless network, and
report activity to STDERR. This program must be run as root.
arpmonitor -i eth0 -e
3. Power cycle (turn off, then back on) the print server.
4. Monitor the arpmonitor output for new IP addresses. IIIRC, the print
server announced itself as <fn>192.168.4.1</fn>.
5. Change your wireless network settings so you are on the same subnet.
I would recommend, as root, to bring your primary network interface down.
ifconfig eth0 down
Now bring up the interface on the same subnet as the router.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.4.2 up
6. Start a web browser, and in the URL bar, type the IP address of the
7. Now you can configure the printer. I would recommend keeping a static
IP address, but change the IP address so the printer is on the same
subnet that you normally use with wireless printing.
8. CUPS Configuration: To configure CUPS is simple. All the steps
except the URI entry should be self explanatory. Configure CUPS using
the local interface http://localhost:631 click on "Printers" and then
"Add Printer".
9. CUPS URI: While several backends work, I only tested the LPD
backend. For Device select <fn>LPD/LPR Host or Printer</fn>,
and click continue. The URI you want to type in is
For example, since I configure my print server to be on <fn>192.168.254.1</fn>
How do I serve Windows clients from GNU/Linux?
Set up samba on GNU/Linux to handle the Windows clients.
How do I print to a non-postscript printer attached to a Windows server?
Setup Postscript emulation by install
for windows.
These pages will give you a general idea of how to setup postscript emulation.
How do I find a printer driver for an unlisted PostScript printer?
If you have a PostScript version 2 or 3 compatible printer, and
the printer is not listed on openprinting.org, then most likely
the printer manufacturer offers a driver on their installation disk.
Locating the driver is not easy. What you are looking for is a
text file with an extension .PPD or .ppd or similar. The
file may be "hidden" in a zip archive, which can have an extension
.zip or .exe. You can use the program unzip to unzip
both of these types of archives, and search the files for a PPD.
You can also try contacting the manufacturer technical support, and
searching their website for a downloadable driver.
If you are unable to find a PPD file from the manufacturer, try
using a PPD file from a printer with similar features to yours. It
is important to match resolution.
Finally, a Adobe provides a number of PPD files.
Why are printers suddenly unable to print?
It's possible that the Samba *.tdb files, used by Samba to
store print queue info which a native NT print server would store in
the "Registry", got corrupted when the power failed.
The tdbtool may be able to verify that. tdbtool is a Samba developer
tool and not compiled or installed by default.
Either you have a *.tdb backup, created with tdbbackup, or you need to
re-install all queues...
How come SAMBA 2.9999 doesn't work?
Version 2.9999 is alpha software. If you want to assist SAMBA
development, report bugs to them.
Otherwise, downgrade to a stable version.
Can I auto-download a driver to a Windows client from CUPS?
Yes. See
[kpfeifle/LinuxKongress2002/Tutorial/IX.CUPS-Samba/IX.Samba-HOWTO-Collection-Chapter-7.html CUPS and SAMBA Howto]
Tip: If you use Foomatic or Gimp-Print PPDs, check the *NickName lines
in the PPDs and if they contain a comma, remove the comma (will be fixed
later in Foomatic).
What should the URI look like?
It is easy to use the incorrect URI. They are case-sensitive.
The URI should look like this:
Why do I get Access denied printing from Windows to GNU/Linux?
Probably your samba configuration smb.conf is not allowing
access. If you do not enable a guest account, then only clients with an
account on your GNU/Linux machine will be able to connect and share
files/services. You should also check your hosts deny and hosts allow
statements in your samba configuration, to verify that other machines on
your local network are permitted to connect. Finally, I believe your
printer entries must specify public = yes and printable = yes.
If all this appears to be in order, there is still the issue of password
encryption. You must make sure that both the clients and your GNU/Linux
machine are treating passwords the same (encrypted or unencrypted).
Why does SMB PostScript show the wrong DPI choices?
Anything that parses a PPD expects two formats for
the internal naming of resolutions: either ###dpi or ###x###dpi.
The Gimp-Print PPDs use a sensible but non-offical internal naming format,
like 360sw, 720x360sw and 360swuni.
CUPS, being more flexible than offical Postscript, parses these internal
names without trouble, so the web interface works without problems.
However, the PostScript Generic driver for Windows does not recognize the
resolution format, fails to parse it and puts up 300dpi as default in
the resolution combo box because it doesn't know what else to do.
Modify the Epson Stylus Color 900 PPD so that the internal names
follow the standard format. I.E.:
360x360dpi instead of 360sw 720x720dpi instead of 720sw
In the special options:
365x365dpi instead of 360swuni (the unidirectional option)
Because the 365x365dpi is an internal name only, the combo box in the
Windows and CUPS setup still shows 360dpi Unidirectional as the choice.
And ultimately it does not matter, because it adds the proper HWResolution
command to the PS file.
How do I configure Gimp for printing?
1. Click the Printer Setup button in the printing dialog of the GIMP
2. In the upcoming dialog choose PostScript Level 2 as printer model
3. Very Imported: Remove the -oraw from the printing command
4. Choose the PPD file of your print queue /etc/cups/ppd/<queue>.ppd as
the printer´s PPD file.
5. After clicking OK you will be able to choose the most important options for
your printer
6. Print.
How do I find out what options my printer supports?
Print the Invoking Summary. lpr -o docs /proc/cpuinfo
What is an Invoking Summary?
It is a list of -o options you can
pass to the lpr command. You can tell your printer to print
it out.
How do I get the Invoking Summary?
Do lpr -o docs /proc/cpuinfo or
lpr -o docs LaTeXConfig.lyx
where LaTeXConfig.lyx can be any file.
Here is the template for this command:
lp -P<queue-name> -o docs <some-random-printable-filename>
Which file controls LAN printing permissions?
Edit /etc/lpd.perms.
How do I find the port number of my networked printer?
If you do not know the port number or the protocol of
the printer's network interface, do
nmap <IP or host name of the printer>
This lists all open ports of the box.
- Port 515 is the LPD port
- 139 is the SMB (Samba, Windows) port.
- Numbers bigger than 1023 are most probably TCP/Socket ports.
We recommend you use the TCP/Socket protocol, because it requires only the
- hostname
- IP address
- Port Number
For the LPD protocol you would need the printer's internal queue name,
and there is no known way to auto-detect it.
For the TCP/Socket protocol simply use a CUPS URI like
socket://<printer's hostname or IP>:<port>
The most frequently used port for that is port 9100.
cannot open /dev/lp0 - No such device or address?
Many people have found that GNU/Linux will not detect their parallel port
unless they disable "Plug and Play" in their PC BIOS. See
[howto/kernel.html Chapter 4] of
[howto/kernel.html http://www.openprinting.org/howto/kernel.html]
What receipt printers works with GNU/Linux?
Probably the
- Epson TM-88II
- Samsung SRP350
is what you are looking for. Some driver modifications may be required.
Which printers have a straight printer path?
Inkjets (which with free operating systems)
- Epson Stylus Photo 900
- Epson Stylus Photo 950
- Epson Stylus Pro 7xxx
- Epson Stylus Pro 9xxx
- Epson Sytlus Pro 10xxx
Which printers can print on a CD-ROM?
- Stylus Photo 900 (1 black, 1 5-color cartridge)
- Stylus Photo 950 (6 separate cartridges)
Both come with a tray for printing CDs. This tray is a more or less
Letter-sized plastic board with a hole for a CD in it. You can print
on the CD the same as you would paper.
How do I print thick (1mm) paper/cardboard?
You must put the paper thickness lever into the envelope or
CD position depending on the thickness of the material.
On the Epson Stylus Pro large-format printers you simply proceed as with
single paper sheets.
Why does printing align.ps outputs text?
The GhostScript version of align.ps is missing a necessary header,
and the spooler fails to correctly recognize it as PostScript.
Try http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/align.ps.
Why does the computer freeze when I connect a USB cable?
This is not a printing problem. It is either a hardware
problem, or a kernel (software) problem.
How do I print to a firewire printer?
Check whether the printer appears as a SCSI device.
cat /proc/scsi/scsi
If so, you need a CUPS version with SCSI backend (the current 1.1.x has it):
Check for the existence of
When you have this file (with or without update of CUPS), restart the
CUPS daemon and do
lpinfo -v
If there is a SCSI entry, this is the entry for your printer. Use this
URI when setting up your print queue.
If this does not help, please post on a Forum of CUPS:
I don't have USB, how do I print to a USB printer?
The only solution is that you buy a USB controller PCI card.
Is it possible to print throught the PS/2 Port?
There are no known USB adapters for the PS/2 mouse port. There
are also no low level driver in the Linux kernel which allow printing
through the PS/2 port.

what to buy
As a class of appliances, compact refrigerators don't perform nearly as well as full-size refrigerators. Freezer performance suffers in particular, reviewers say, and we read numerous owner complaints about mini fridges breaking down -- often after only a few months of use. With less insulation, compact fridges use more energy per cubic foot than full-size refrigerators. That said, mini refrigerators are well suited for a dormitory room, office, wet bar or anywhere space is too limited to make a large refrigerator practical. If you're looking to store wine at proper temperature, a mini fridge is not recommended; instead, you'll need a wine cooler.
Higher-quality mini fridges use compressors, -- just like full-size refrigerators do -- to regulate temperature. Cheaper models rely on thermoelectric (Peltier) coolers, which use electrical currents to keep cool. Generally speaking, mini fridges that use thermoelectric cooling are sufficient for chilling drinks, but little else. They cannot maintain temperatures below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's threshold for safe food storage, and they are not as energy efficient as compact refrigerators that use compressors.
It's important to know which type of cooling system is used before buying a mini fridge, especially if you plan to store food in it. Most thermoelectric mini fridges are identified as such on packaging. If you are unsure, check the product specs: If they state that the unit cools a certain number of degrees below ambient temperature, or that it must be unplugged intermittently, it's a thermoelectric style fridge.
Although some well-known companies (including GE, Frigidaire and Magic Chef) produce mini fridges, there are also a number of obscure brands out there, too, and many of them fare poorly in reviews. In fact, when it comes to quality, one company -- Danby -- dominates the compact refrigerator product category.
The smallest mini fridges (sometimes called cube fridges), are good for keeping beverages cool and little else. Most of these models are about 17 to 21 inches square in size -- small enough to fit beneath a desk -- inexpensive and usually made of cheap components that make them inefficient and unreliable. One notable exception is the Danby DAR195BL (*Est. $120). This Energy Star-rated mini fridge is fairly small -- just 1.8 cubic feet -- but it maximizes that space by eliminating the freezer compartment. Although this may seem like a drawback, experts say the freezer compartments on most mini fridges are too small to be of use and rarely keep food frozen.
Though small, the Danby has several useful features that owners praise in reviews. It has two adjustable wire shelves (one full-size, one half as deep), as well as a rack in the door that holds six cans and a bin that can accommodate a 2-liter bottle. It also has a reversible door (meaning it can be mounted to open from the left or the right), automatic defrost and a scratch-resistant black finish. Unlike some larger models, it lacks an interior light.
Reviewers generally praise this mini fridge. PlanetGreen.com names the DAR195BL one of the most energy-efficient compact refrigerators available, and nearly 30 owner reviews at CompactAppliance.com give it an average score of 4.9 stars out of 5. Users say the unit is relatively quiet and maintains a constant temperature, although a few complain that the temperature dial is inconveniently located on the back of the unit. Nearly 50 owners posting to Amazon.com give this model an overall average of 4 stars out of 5 and say that it performs well, although some report mechanical problems and some say they received units that had been damaged in shipping. A dozen owners gave the DAR195BL a unanimous 5-star rating at HomeDepot.com. The Danby carries an 18-month warranty, and the company sells a separate extended warranty.
A less expensive cube fridge, the 1.7-cubic-foot Magic Chef MCBR170 is also considered a good value. Like the Danby model, this fridge uses a compressor and has a reversible door; unlike the Danby, it has a freezer compartment. It has one interior adjustable shelf and two in-door shelves with room for tall-bottle storage. More than 50 users posting to HomeDepot.com give the Magic Chef MCBR170 an overall average rating of 4 stars out of 5, with some saying that it chills beverages and fresh foods effectively and operates quietly. It also gets about 10 reviews on Walmart.com, with most owners praising it for being, as one reviewer put it, "cold, cold, cold" -- although another user complains that it is noisy. Reviewers in one professional test report poor energy efficiency and poor freezer performance, but these are common complaints about cube fridges in general.
Midsize mini refrigerators cost slightly more than cubes, but they perform better with roughly the same footprint. The larger models are about 24 to 28 inches tall and have a capacity of 2.5 to 2.8 cubic feet.
One well-reviewed midsize model is the 2.5-cubic-foot Danby DAR259 (*Est. $150). Like the DAR195BL, this compressor-powered model is Energy Star-rated and lacks a freezer compartment (again, reviewers say that's no loss). It features automatic defrost and has three adjustable wire racks, as well as an eight-can rack and 2-liter bottle storage in the door. It is available in white or black and carries an 18-month warranty. We found numerous complimentary owner reviews for this model at Walmart.com, ABT.com, AJMadison.com and CompactAppliance.com. The few users who give this small fridge less than a 4-star rating generally report shipping damage, rather than problems with the actual unit.
The Haier ECR27 (*Est. $130) 2.7-cubic foot refrigerator is another Energy Star-rated midsize model. Standard features include black or white finish, a half-width freezer and two full-width door shelves, one of which accommodates up to three 2-liter bottles. Unlike the Danby, it must be manually defrosted. This fridge is too new to garner a significant number of reviews, but previous Haier models have been well rated.
The largest mini fridges, sometimes called counter-height compact refrigerators, tend to perform better and more efficiently than smaller models. Among counter-height models, the 4.4-cubic-foot Danby DAR440 (*Est. $200) earns the best reviews. Like both smaller Danby models, the DAR440 is Energy Star-rated and lacks a freezer unit. This model has three adjustable wire shelves, along with room for eight cans, a 2-liter bottle and two bins in the door.
In addition, it has reversible door hinges (so it can be adjusted to open from either the left or right), automatic defrost and an interior light. Like its smaller siblings, the DAR440 receives excellent scores from owners -- 4.5 stars from nearly 270 reviewers at Walmart.com, with most complaints targeting shipping damage. It also makes Bestcovery.com's list of five recommended dorm fridges.
If you want a compact refrigerator but need a reliable freezer that can hold more than a single ice-cube tray, consider a two-door model. Two-door units have separate refrigerator and freezer compartments, and owners say freezer performance tends to be as good as a full-size fridge. Of course, extra insulation is required for the freezer, meaning that two-door models offer less capacity than comparably sized single-door models.
One of the least expensive two-door mini fridges is the Emerson CR500 (*Est. $190), which has a capacity of 3.1 cubic feet, with 2.2 cubic feet devoted to the refrigerator compartment. It has two adjustable wire shelves and a vegetable drawer, with room in the door for tall bottles and several cans. There are also reversible door hinges and an interior light, as well as a rack on the freezer door for extra storage. Nearly 20 users posting reviews to Amazon.com give the CR500 an average 3 star rating. Reviewers praise the freezer's performance, although some report mechanical problems with the unit, and some say the refrigerator compartment doesn't chill as well as they'd like.
Finally, the 3.3 cubic-foot Haier HNDE03VS (*Est. $200) has similar features to the Emerson CR500, with a few extras including glass shelves and a glass-covered vegetable crisper. Sixty owner reviews at HomeDepot.com give it an average rating of 3.4 stars. Owners praise its roomy interior and freezer performance freezer, but some report mechanical failures and say the fridge does not cool adequately.
The only multiproduct test of compact refrigerators comes from ConsumerReports.org (available to subscribers), which rates 15 models based on performance, energy efficiency and noise level. However, most of these models have been discontinued. We did find many useful owner reviews of current products on a range of retail websites, including Walmart.com, Amazon.com, CompactAppliance.com, HomeDepot.com and AJMadison.com. Finally, we considered ratings and reviews on PlanetGreen.com, an environmental website, as well as Bestcovery.com, a consumer-product review site, although neither indicates if, or how, products were actually tested.

If you're planning a meal at Silverfork Lodge and want to burn a few calories, this hike will do the trick.
The trail marker is on the north side of the road.
Distance: 1.5 miles round-trip
Elevation gain: 600 feet
Time: Approximately one hour.
Trail: The trail is short, but steep. Plan to climb 600 feet in three-quarters of a mile. It's a beautiful trail that follows Willow Creek to a small beaver pond. You will cut through an aspen grove that opens up to a small meadow. Be sure to look around here and you'll get some great views of Brighton Ski Resort. The beaver pond is just past the meadow.
Who you'll see: Diners you'll soon sit across the room from at Silver Fork Lodge, couples out for a short hike and a few runners looking to train on some steep terrain.
How to get there: Drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon and continue about half a mile past Silver Fork Lodge. You will see a stone trail marker on your left.
Apres-hike: Relax on the deck of Silver Fork Lodge sip a Wild Horse Pinot Noir. They also have a small but choice selection of local beers on tap.
You will cross a meadow with a small pond.

ZF-7394: Zend_Filter_Input disregards field 'messages' meta-command
Zend_Filter_Input disregards custom error messages passed to it via the 'messages' meta-command. This has been working previously but has been broken since the 1.8 ver. release.
For example, the following validators array:
$validators = array(
'name' => array('NotEmpty','messages' => 'Please enter your name'),
'subject' => array('NotEmpty','messages' => 'Please enter a subject'),
'email' => array('EmailAddress','messages' => 'Please enter a valid Email address'),
'content' => array('NotEmpty','messages' => 'Please enter message contents')
Returns the following message stack:
array(5) { ["name"] => array(1) { ["isEmpty"] => string(48) "You must give a non-empty value for field 'name'" } ["subject"] => array(1) { ["isEmpty"] => string(51) "You must give a non-empty value for field 'subject'" } ["content"] => array(1) { ["isEmpty"] => string(51) "You must give a non-empty value for field 'content'" } ["email"] => array(1) { [0] => string(24) "You must give a non-empty value for field 'content''" } }
I confirmed this bug. I have same problem with default error messages. In v.1.7.8 all work's fine.
This bug occurs only with the "NotEmpty" validator. Other seem to work fine.
@Julien: that's not quite my experience. Consider:
$validators = array( 'email' => array( 'NotEmpty', 'EmailAddress', new Zend_Validate_Regex('/.+nys[dp].uscourts.gov$/i'), 'messages'=>array( 'Email is required', 'Email address is malformed', 'Email domain must be either nysd.uscourts.gov or nysp.uscourts.gov'), 'breakChainOnFailure'=>true,
); $input = new Zend_Filter_Input(null,$validators, array( 'email'=>'barf' ) );
if (! $input->isValid()) { print_r($input->getMessages()); }
outputs the default error message instead of the one I (try to) pass in:
( [email] => Array ( [emailAddressInvalidFormat] => 'barf' is not a valid email address in the basic format local-part@hostname )
@David: You don't use the same notation as Eran... Your problem is different than Eran's.
I don't quite understand why it would matter. It looks like my general problem is "it doesn't work," i.e., can't get Zend_Filter_Input to let me override the default error messages when there's more than one rule on a field. In any case, is my issue something already in the tracker or should I file one? And... do you know if there are any plans to address this issue and/or mine?
*) When something is different coded than also the issue is different *) That it does not work is not true... using another notation there is no problem at all *) There is already another issue for your notation... a simple search would have shown you this *) As you have seen I took over this issue 6 days ago *) I can not solve 80 issues at the same time so please be patient as already mentioned several times... one after the oher will be solved
*) Reasonable minds may disagree, but I would respectfully submit that when code that conforms to the documented API runs faultlessly in one version of the ZF but generates undesired output in a subsequent version, it can fairly be said that something "doesn't work," and *) I searched in good faith for the issue, with negative results, perhaps because *) your understanding of the issues greatly exceeds my own, which is why you're a contributor and I, a mere consumer, who *) failed to notice you took on the issue so recently, and who, in any event, suggests that you *) please relax and accept my sincere gratitude for your exertions.
@David: LOL
Let's say: I will solve them soon, ok ?
Your issue is related to ZF-7034 (using one element with multiple validators and messages). Internally I have fixed it already so there is a solution for it soon.
This issue (using multiple elements with one validator and message) could be fixed but I can only verify when I've finished the other one.
When all is ok, then there is a solution within one day. Does this sound good to you ? ;-)
Fixed with r17845.
And sorry that I was wrong... not one day but only some hours :-)

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Yuki6304 Perfect! The bench was perfect for our foyer! We have a split foyer house and I have been looking for a bench with asian old world charm style to it but small enough that will fit our entry way. This bench was perfect! It was easy to assemble with simple easy to understand instructions. The bench is made out of hard wood and had good finishings. Good quality. This was a great buy for me! March 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by TNfarmer Great value!! Very satisfied, it was exactly what we wanted. November 27, 2010
Rated 1 out of 5 by Consumer very small, not great quality I was so excited to receive this and was ultimately very disappointed. It was VERY SMALL. Check the measurements. That was probably my fault, but I just assumed it would be able to fit 2 adults. Aside from that it was very cheap looking. You have to assemble it and put these wood plugs over the screw holes. It looked like it was obviously put together and most of the wood plugs would not stay in so I would have had to glue them in and then I would not have been able to tighten it in the future. I'm sending it back- which is the worst part since it cannot be brought back to the store so I had to disassemble it and make it fit back into the box. November 2, 2010

Results tagged ' Mike Lincoln '
A Decade Of Twins Memories
I know I'm a little late on this, as the New Years parties are all but forgotten already, but I wanted to take a few moments to recount some of my favorite Minnesota Twins memories of the decade past:
2000: When a team features such players as Jay Canizaro, Butch Huskey, Jason Maxwell, Sean Bergman, and Mike Lincoln, it was a bit difficult to really get excited about the teams' chances. However, having just been introduced to the sport and completely enthralled by it, I can remember going to the basically-empty Metrodome (been to a T-Wolves game lately?) with my Dad, buying an outfield seat, and then moving right up close to home plate because not even the ushers cared what you did back then!
2001: The team finally comes together and starts winning thanks to players like Doug Mientkiewicz, Corey Koskie, Jacque Jones, Torii Hunter, Brad Radke, and Eric Milton. The Twins didn't win the division, but after nearly a decade of losing baseball, they finally brought some excitement back to the Dome.
2002: The year I learned to hate Bud Selig. In an effort to make MLB more profitable, Selig hatches a scheme to contract two franchise to bolster the others. The obvious choice were the Montreal Expos (later to become the Washington Nationals), but the Twins? Obviously some back-room buyout deals between Buddy-Boy and Twins owner Carl Pohlad were occuring. Luckily, MLB realized that contraction was ill-advised and allowed the Twins to easily capture their first division title since 1991.
2003: After a dominating 2002 campaign, the Twins were nearly out of the division race at midseason of '03. However, after acquiring outfielder Shannon Stewart from the Blue Jays to bat lead-off, the Twins took off and won the division nearly going-away.
2004: Of the back-to-back-to-back division title winning teams, this squad was the best. In the ALDS, the Twins took the first game at Yankee Stadium and were on the brink of going up 2-0 heading home. However, Joe Nathan (who had taken over for the departed Eddie Guardado and been completely dominant the entire season) led an extra-inning lead slip away and give the Yankees momentum to win that game and then sweep both at the Dome. Of course, maybe it was just fate, as those Yanks proceeded to go up 3-0 on the Red Sox and well, Dave Roberts can tell you the rest…
2005: Not a fun year for Twins Territory. We didn't outright suck, but we never really competed for the crown, either. Even the usually stoic Brad Radke was overheard griping about the lack of run support from a horrendous offensive unit. Also, this was the year that tensions erupted between Torii Hunter and Justin Morneau and a few blows were thrown, one that somehow connected with little Lew Ford!
2006: The Twins spent one day in first place, but since it was the final day they made it count! They played well pretty much the entire season, but so did the Tigers. A late-season hot streak pushed the Twins over the top on the season's final day.
2007: How quickly a team can go from "contending" to "rebuilding". In the first losing season under Ron Gardenhire, a lack of fundamentals and downright sloppy baseball made the final month of the season almost unwatchable.
2008: After underachieving all season, the Twins basically needed to win out the final week of the season, starting with a sweep of the White Sox, whom they were chasing for the division title. I was at all three of those games at the Dome, and they are (easily) the most exciting games I have ever been to. The Twins would later lose to the Tighty Whities in a one-game playoff, but not before some of the most exciting baseball I have ever witnessed.
2009: (Read: 2008). This time the Twins make the one-game playoff count in the most exciting single baseball game I have ever watched!
It was a great decade of Twins baseball memories…why not try for another one?!

Full SubmissionAmerican Planning Association (APA) and the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) Objective: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development in the Western Hemisphere by assessing the progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development, as well as addressing new and emerging challenges. The American Planning Association (APA) has partnered with the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and a variety of educational and nongovernmental organizations in the U.S. and abroad to address the issue of sustainable development through improved urban and regional planning. Under President Obama?s leadership, APA was awarded two grants under the umbrella of the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA), an intergovernmental agreement among over a dozen Western Hemisphere nations to cooperatively address the issues of climate change and Energy consumption. We suggest that the framework established through our first ECPA grant, aimed at improving planning capacity in Latin America and the Caribbean, combined with the goals of our second ECPA grant, where we will identify and initiate pilot projects in housing and sustainable community development, will provide lessons for the attendees and their governments as they seek to reaffirm and commit to reducing remaining barriers in sustainable development. Themes: (1) A green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication; and (2) The institutional framework for sustainable development. ECPA provides a thoughtful approach to engaging a wide range of interests and stakeholders? government, NGOs, educational institutions, and private sector companies?to collaborate across levels of jurisdiction and disciplines, thus placing more expertise at the hands of all parties directly responsible for community building. Primarily through a variety of networks, APA has already seen progress in changing the way people and communities view the role of planning in the overall effort to achieve more sustainable, economically prosperous, and equitable places. In our ECPA work, we have specifically targeted solutions that will simultaneously improve the living standards for the poor and those historically marginalized from the discussions related to infrastructure and economic investment, while also assisting communities to reduce Energy poverty, build resilience to climate change, and promote community and national NGO bodies that will carry on this work after our initial technical assistance work ends. A primary example of our success thus far is reflected by progress in the Caribbean to create a professional network of city and regional planners who will be able to provide more technical assistance, advocacy, and knowledge to local citizens and government leaders about Energy and climate change issues. This effort transcends borders and languages, representing one of APA?s early achievements in the ECPA effort. In addition, we have advised a joint U.S.‐Brazilian graduate level urban and regional planning studio on a petrochemical facility outside of Rio de Janeiro and hosted two international conferences on sustainable urban planning and sustainable economic development that drew participants and case studies from across the Americas. APA?s overall institutional framework combines training, targeted technical assistance, and the creation and enhancement of nonprofit organizations. As such, it is a framework that we feel should be of interest to the participants in Rio + 20. As a result of our ECPA program, APA feels that our work resonates well with both themes and that our successful outcomes will greatly assist in meeting the summit?s overall objectives

Fallen Fruit, three L.A.-based guys who make art drawn out of a community's relationship with fruit, have been in and out of Utah the last couple of months researching and collecting FrUte things and tales for their upcoming exhibit at Salt Lake Art Center (SLAC.)
The call is still out for fruit objects to use in the exhibit - photos of your fruit stuff must be submitted by noon May 16 and objects must be received by May 20. Submit images to firstname.lastname@example.com
They are also working on a show in Guadalajara and brought us a bottle of anejo from their recent fruit-finding mission to Mexico.
Personally, I'm a big fan of artists who bring you tequila.
I don't totally get what this Fallen Fruit show will be like, but I can't wait to see, and meanwhile, I've become aware of other food/art connections around town.
Like, the current show at SLAC is by another L.A.-based artist (remember, curator Micol Hebron moved here from the place it never rains.) Mark Fontenot works in bread dough. He researches the history of a place and reproduces iconic images in dough sculptures.
Like, for the Utah show, called The Place This Is, he made the Salt Lake Temple and the Duces Wild strip club, the Bear Lake Monster and the hangar home of nuclear bomber Enola Gay, Brigham Young's pistol and the giant Snelgrove ice-cream-cone sign.
Then there's the joint exhibit in the Loge Gallery at Pioneer Theatre by artists Mark England and Kelley Somer. England paints distorted, map-like images of surreal landscapes. What does this have to do with food?
Well, does his name sound familiar to On The Table readers?
That's because with his wife Elizabeth he also owns Dolcetti Gelato, probably Salt Lake's top gelato joint. You can see his paintings there, too.

text: 11.26.13 Giving Thanks for Tax Refunds—Tax Guidance for the Pilgrims That Applies Today A pilgrim's life was never easy. They worked hard in harsh environments with untold risks and dangers. However, after all their efforts (and provided they survived the elements, wild animals, possible starvation, and other risks) it was time to celebrate. Hence the great and possibly best holiday of them all: Thanksgiving. If the pilgrims were here today, their taxes would certainly be complicated. They would need to account for life changes, special tax considerations, deductions related to work activities, moving and commuting considerations and many other tax issues. Pilgrims would certainly have need of a professional tax return preparer. And if pilgrims were around today, Tax Pros at Jackson Hewitt would likely be able to make their lives a little easier come tax time. Check out how some of the benefits you enjoy each tax season could have also benefitted one of our Pilgrim friends through the Q&A below: It has been a crazy year! We moved (across an ocean). We built a house (out of logs). I got married, AND we had a baby! Will any of this affect my taxes? Definitely! Life changes are important to take note of throughout the year. Hopefully you've saved all of your receipts. Let's start at the beginning. Deduct moving expenses Since you moved to America to pursue your dream of owning your own farm, business or expanding your trade, you likely qualify to claim a moving expense deduction. The cost of your overseas transportation, and the cost to move your household goods to the ship would be deductible. Even if you don't itemize, you could likely deduct your moving expenses. Deduct home-building and mortgage costs The costs of building your home establish the financial and tax cost basis of your home. So if you sell it down the road, you could reduce your potential gain by that amount—which will save you on taxes. If you took a loan out to build your house, loan interest is deductible (and so are your property taxes) as part of itemizing deductions. Even PMI or private mortgage insurance may be deductible on your tax return. Change status, claim family deductions and adjust withholdings Congratulations on your wedding! You will need to change your filing status this year to either Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or Married Filing Separately (MFS), although filing jointly is most common. You also may need to change your withholdings since you have a much different tax situation with a family. Depending on your income, you may also be able to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit and maybe even the Child and Dependent Care Credit. So, while it's been a crazy year, it looks like you're going to have a great tax time! I am most excited to get a refund. I can invest it in my farm, buy the baby new clothes and get provisions. How can I check the status of my refund? There are a few great ways to keep track of your refund. One is through MyJH—a free and secure web-based tool. Not only can you upload, store and organize your tax documents like receipts, W-2s, 1099s, schedule an appointment with your neighborhood Tax Pro, but you can check your tax return and refund status 24/7! You can also visit the IRS website and take advantage of the "Where's My Refund?" tool. Being new to the country and focusing on survival, I haven't opened a bank account. How can I get my refund? You have several options. You can have your refund loaded onto the Jackson Hewitt Preferred Card*. It's a safe, easy and convenient alternative to direct deposit. You can also get your refund as a paper check, although this comes with its drawbacks. You may have to pay a check-cashing fee or deal with a check that's lost or stolen, and you have to wait for your check to arrive in the mail. I started my own business this year. I'm not even sure where to begin as far as handling self-employment income and taxes. What should I know? To start, be sure to keep track of your business expenses. For instance, if you started your own farm, you'd want to track tools, seed and supplies. If you bartered throughout the year (and as a Pilgrim, it's likely you did) you need to track the value of the items you traded and received in order to accurately determine your total income for tax purposes. Under today's tax code, the net profit from your business is subject to self-employment taxes and any remaining taxes owed will need to be paid when filing your tax. Taxes should, however, be paid in quarterly estimates, so as a business owner, you would need to determine your expected annual profit each quarter, along with self-employment taxes, and then send an estimated tax payment to the IRS. Any of this sound familiar? No matter what your tax situation, and whether you're an old pilgrim or just a normal American with the complications and issues of daily life, the Tax Pros at Jackson Hewitt can help you come tax time. And if you have any questions throughout the year, feel free to give us a call! * This card is issued by Sutton Bank pursuant to a license from VISA U.S.A., Inc.

The expression "a penny saved is a penny earned" doesn't cut it these days. But saving a few dollars here and there can add up, particularly if you park the money in a high-interest-bearing savings account or, better yet, a tax-favored vehicle such as a 529 plan or an IRA containing a mix of investments that offer higher returns over the long run.
OK, so 10 percent annual returns from the stock market may seem farfetched after the recent market mayhem. But we contend that it's not unreasonable to expect 7 percent annualized returns from a conservative blend of bonds and stocks over a period of 15 years. These are the assumptions we used below to calculate how the few bucks you squirrel away today can turn into big-time savings later.
Form a cooking co-op
Sure, cooking is cheaper than eating out, but a daily home-cooked meal simply isn't an option for many full-time working parents. Ginny Bowie, vice president of a Richmond, Va.-based financial securities firm and mother of three, solved her scheduling and budgeting dilemma in one swoop by forming a cooking co-op.
"Every Tuesday night, I cook dinner for three families besides my own, which is about 18 to 20 people, and deliver it to their door," Bowie says. "Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, the three other families cook for me."
Bowie's Web site and DVD, "If it's Tuesday ... it's my night 2 cook," contain recipes and tips for starting a co-op. She says cooking in bulk has cut her grocery bill in half and practically eliminated her need for eating out.
What it's worth
The average household spent $6,133 per year on food -- $3,465 on groceries and $2,668 on meals away from the home -- in 2007, the most recent year for which data are available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. We suspect food prices soared in 2008, but let's use these numbers anyway. Assuming that a co-op could reduce the grocery bill by half and lower restaurant expenses by, say, 60 percent (factoring in the occasional meal out), families could save $3,333 per year by going co-op.
Here's the payoff for switching meal plans:
• A one-time deposit of $3,333 grows to $9,196 in 15 years.
• Annual deposits of $3,333 add up to $83,755.
Find free entertainment
Between nights out at rock concerts, opera and theater performances, some Americans spend more on entertainment than on groceries and gasoline combined. To cut down entertainment expenses, Jaclyn Young, a Washington, D.C.-based actress, hunts for free events in her area and volunteers as an usher for live theater.
"I see at least two plays every weekend, and since tickets are $18 to $45 apiece, that's a lot of money if I wasn't ushering," Young says. "I volunteer at 15 theaters and save probably $160 a month doing it."
What it's worth
We don't recommend forgoing all cultural events, but consumers who opt for free or low-cost concerts, lectures, outdoor movies and art shows even one night per weekend can easily reduce their entertainment budget by $50 to $100 per month. For purposes of our calculation, let's split the difference and assume savings of $75 a month or $900 a year for 15 years.
• A one-time deposit of $900 grows to $2,483.
• Annual deposits of $900 add up to $22,616.
Use the public library
Home entertainment costs can be considerable if you add up cable television, satellite radio, video games and movie rentals. Young recommends getting familiar with the public library. In addition to carrying books, magazines, audiobooks, films and CDs, libraries frequently offer free children's events, language programs, financial literacy workshops and performing arts events to cut your budget down further. If the library in your area is scant on resources, check out what's on campus at the nearest college or university.

A Word About Risk:
When interest rates rise, the prices of fixed income securities in the Fund will generally fall. Conversely, when interest rates fall, the prices of fixed income securities in the Fund will generally rise.
Investments in the fund are subject to possible loss due to the financial failure of issuers of underlying securities and their inability to meet their debt obligations.
Prepayment risk is the chance that mortgage-backed bonds will be paid off early if falling interest rates prompt homeowners to refinance their mortgages. Forced to reinvest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates, the fund would experience a decline in income and lose the opportunity for additional price appreciation associated with falling interest rates.
The securities issued by U.S. Government sponsored entities (i.e., FNMA, Freddie Mac) are neither guaranteed nor issued by the U.S. Government.
The portfolio may invest in mortgage-backed securities, which during times of fluctuating interest rates may increase or decrease more than other fixed income securities. Mortgage-Backed securities are also subject to pre-payments.
Investments in high yield or lower-rated securities are subject to greater-than-average risk.
Investing in foreign and/or emerging markets securities involves risks relating to interest rates, currency exchange rates, economic, and political conditions.
At times, the Fund's investments may represent industries or industry sectors that are interrelated.
These risks may increase share price volatility.
* Morningstar proprietary ratings reflect risk-adjusted performance as of 5/31/16.

Butterfly Garden (page 2 of 3)
by Molly Dean
Top Shrubs for Butterflies
Sampling some buddleia nectar
Key to plant descriptions:
Plant Name; Height; Bloom Period; Hardiness
Buddleia davidii; 3 to 20 feet; blooms summer to fall; hardy to -20?F as an herbaceous perennial, to 0?F as a shrub
Of all the shrubs to choose from, the orange eye butterfly bush probably has the most butterfly-drawing power. It is a delight on a summer's day to watch all types of butterflies, from tiny bluesger swallowtails, as they seem to almost drunkenly sip the nectar from the long, clustered flowers. Hummingbirds also make occasional stops, and moths visit, especially in the evening.
This species is called "orange eye" because of the delicate orange edging around the centers of the tiny tubular florets that make up the long blossom clusters. These clusters are quite long, up to 1 1/2 feet in length, and they give off a uniquely sweet, lingering fragrance. Keep the spent clusters deadheaded and this shrub will bloom into the fall.
Flowers of the original shrubs, which are native to China, were blue and mauve. Today, however, there are many different hybrids in pink, magenta, lilac, white and a rich, deep indigo, often described as "blue-black." This cultivar, 'Black Knight', is beautiful and provides visual interest in the garden, but butterflies don't like it as well. The foliage of the orange eye butterfly bush is also handsome. Its long, slender leaves have a soft, silvery look and are slightly fuzzy.
In warm climates, B. davidii can grow to tree size, up to 15 or even 20 feet tall with an equal spread. However, in most areas of the country, it's typically three to eight feet tall. Where winter is severe, cut it back and mulch the crown to protect the roots.
B. davidii needs full sun and thrives in enriched, well-drained soil. It blooms on new wood. Prune in early spring before growth starts to promote flowering.
Buddleia alternifolia; 10 to 20 feet; blooms in late spring to summer; hardy to -20?F as an herbaceous perennial, to -10?F as a shrub
The fountain buddleia (also known as the alternate leaf butterfly bush) has long, arching branches that, when blooming, resemble a lavender fountain. The eight- to 10-foot-long flower spikes resemble those of the lilac and the silvery green foliage brings to mind a willow.
This species blooms earlier than the orange eye butterfly bush its flowers are produced on old growth as opposed to new, so it should be pruned just after flowering to promote even more flowers the next season. Like Buddleia davidii, this species likes lots of sun and rich soil.
Abelia grandiflora; 3 to 6 feet; blooms summer to fall; hardy to -20?F as an herbaceous perennial, to -5?F as a shrub
One of my favorite memories is of watching through my mother's front windows as butterflies covered the Abelia bushes that bloomed against her house. Today I have a single glossy abelia (Abelia grandiflora) in my own garden, and it is visited all summer and even throughout early fall by groups of butterflies, particularly the various swallowtails.
The glossy abelia, a hybrid derived from species native to China, is the most commonly cultivated form. It does particularly well in southern gardens. It is fairly small, not often exceeding five feet, and has small, delicate leaves that are bronze-tinged when young and dark and shiny when mature. The small, tubular flowers are a translucent white with the faintest blush of rose.
Abelia will take sun or partial shade and should be grown in acid soil enriched with peat moss or leaf mold. It is often used as an informal hedge but is equally attractive as a specimen plant.
Caryopteris clandonesis; to 2 feet; blooms summer to fall; hardy to -10? as an herbaceous perennial, to 0? as a shrub
Autumn-blooming shrubs are rare, and so are those having misty blue flowers. Combine these desirable characteristics with the trait of attracting butterflies, and you have Caryopteris.
This genus includes 15 species, all of which come from the Far East. C. clandonensis, commonly known as bluebeard or blue spirea, is the species one usually finds at garden centers and in catalogs. One of its most notable features is its delicate appearance and size.
Its stems are wiry, and its leaves are slender and aromatic, with the same silvery look as those of the butterfly bush. For pastel blue blossoms, choose 'Blue Mist', or for a deep, richer shade, plant 'Dark Knight' or 'Heavenly Blue'. All have a gentle, misty look because of the sheer delicacy of the blossoms.
Caryopteris needs full sun, and a light, well-drained soil. It flowers on new growth, so prune in early spring to ensure heavy flowering.
Wisteria floribunda; 30 feet; blooms in spring; hardy to -20? as a shrub
The large pendulous flower clusters of the wisteria vine are quite appealing to butterflies in late spring. Wisteria can be used in many ways in the garden, as long as its heavy twining woody vine is assured lots of support. Let it climb a tree in a wild garden or cover a pergola or hide a chain-link fence. It can even be trained to grow as a small tree on its own.
Most wisteria species hail from the Orient and did not come to the West until the early 1700s. The richly fragrant Japanese wisteria W. floribunda is a good choice for gardens. Plant named cultivars instead of seedlings -- they are more likely to flower. There is a double lilac blue cultivar, 'Plena', and the highly scented white, 'Ivory Tower'.
Wisteria grows best on fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. Before it flowers, apply a fertilizer that's low in nitrogen and rich in phosphate, such as 5-10-10.
Somewhat slow to get established, wisteria can eventually become a large, sprawling plant that reaches 30 feet or more beyond its designated area. It's sometimes necessary to root prune in early spring. Prune back new shoots in summer to three to four buds to encourage more flowers the next year.

"Other programs house the kids in dorms and solely focus on golf. Our kids are immersed in golf, but by living with host families, they're also engrossed in American culture."
If you've teed ap on any number of Wasatch golf courses in the late summer, chances are you've run into several dozen sharp-dressed Japanese teens on the green.
Ranging in age from 13 to 17, the athletes of the Utah-Japan Golf Program have hit courses in the state since 1986.
During 10 days of instruction, the 40-plus recreational golfers drive, chip and putt with the goal of returning with sharpened skills to a country where the sport is virtually inaccessible to youth because of the cost. A single round of golf in Japan can run between $125 and $175, nearly triple the cost on a Utah course, and Japan's strict club rules often don't allow entrance to those under 20.
Here, says the program's director, Brad Richard, teens have a chance to surround themselves with the sport and experience life in the United States by living with a Utah family. "There is no other program like this in the world;' he says. "Other programs house the kids in dorms and solely focus on golf. Our kids are immersed in golf, but they're also engrossed in American culture."
Off the green, the teens dine on hamburgers and tacos, shop for American gifts for their families back home, go bowling and sightsee at the Olympic Park. Most importantly, Richard says, they get to practice English while improving their golf games. This immersion gives the kids an advantage when competing for college admissions.
Richard, along with his Japanese wife, Shiho, are the perfect coordinators for the Salt Lake City-based program. Brad Richard, a Utah native turned golf pro, heads the American operations while his wife, a native of Nagoya, orchestrates the Japanese logistics.
As a high school freshman in 1994, Shiho Richard left Nagoya to participate in the program. "My parents wanted me to learn English," she says. Five years later, she was asked by the program's coaches to be an interpreter when she returned to Salt Lake to pursue postgraduate studies at the University of Utah. Brad Richard was coaching the Japanese kids after returning from a University of Utah exchange program at Shinshu University, where he "scraped by with enough Japanese to pass the courses;' he recalls. "Shiho translated my clinics, and I pretended to be able to speak Japanese. I was smitten."
They married and now are commuters between Nagoya and Utah.
After making the Utah-Japan Golf Program a nonprofit organization in 2011, the couple decided to expand the vision. "The aim of the program over the next few years is to make this cross-cultural experience available to students of all socioeconomic backgrounds," says Richard. "Negotiating affordable airfare, supplementing student fees and offering scholarships are all things we can do now because of our nonprofit status." The key, he says, is finding people-host families, volunteers and donations-to help support the effort.
The Utah-Japan Golf Program teaches more than golf, Richard says. "Meeting Shiho turned my life in an entirely different direction." And fortunately for him, it also improved his Japanese.
