There was a post indicating that one of more of you could not open our substitutions PDF. If you are having trouble viewing PDF files, make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader by going to adobe.com. We want to make this blog as user-friendly as possible. The original is a chart, which is a little easier to read, but I did a little cut and paste action, so that you could still get the information.

If you still cannot get to the PDF after you have downloaded Adobe Reader, then you can print this list off:
