I posted this over on the other site and wanted to share it here as well. Here's a cut and paste and a copy of the scans:
I updated the firmware on my router and for some reason my old HP multifunction printer/scanner that's set up on the network won't communicate with any of my computers to scan. It still prints but the scanner isn't interested in participating. So, in the meantime, I made the long, arduous trek to my mother-in-laws house (about 100 feet from my front door) and scanned to her computer, then downloaded the scans. The old paper the magazine was printed on has yellowed pretty bad and when I tried scanning in color the scanner interpreted the page color and created files that were almost 6 meg each so I rescanned them in black & white. I had to mess with the settings to get the photos so they were more than black blobs on the page and finally got them to where you can tell the difference between the person and the stove. It's time for a new printer/scanner for me so I'll rescan them when I get one but in the meantime I'll post these copies.
Since these are copyrighted I requested and received permission from Consumer Reports to copy and post them as long as the use was educational or social use. In their reply they stressed that the article and the info in it may not be used for any commercial purpose, that the article had to be presented in it's entirety, and that the policy applies to the posted scan as well as the original magazine. They provided a link for more detailed info on their policy: www.consumerreports.org/cro/about-us/no-commercial-use-policy/permission-requests/index.htm.
Here are the 9 pages of the article:
