Dear supporters,
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Awamaki Lab sewing cooperative. This is a special project report, written by Paula, one of the seamstresses (translated from the Spanish). We think this is a great testament to the increasing ownership and direction they are taking over the project!
Paula writes,
The achievements of the past months have been our improved mastery of the patterns. We have done a number of orders including 30 mini skirts, 20 outerwear pieces, 20 change purses, 20 clutches, 30 shoulder bags, 15 t-shirts and 10 iPad cases.
Currently we are working on 10 skirts, 10 shoulder bags, 10 Gargi-style bags, 4 belts, 3 ponchos, 30 coin purses and 50 clutches.
What we like about the project is the experience we are acquiring. We are learning about each collection. We are not just learning to sew but also to read patterns. Our favorite products to sew are the shoulder bags, skirt, change purses and the backpacks that we designed!
The challenges of the project for everyone have been improving the finishings on each item, and the new accessory items which incorporate techniques like grommet application. We are still working to master these designs.
In the past few months, seamstresses have also taken charge of their production schedule, inventory and materials procurement. This is the direction in which we are heading the next few months: increased mastery of products, increased leadership in managing orders, inventory and other cooperative business, and increased design responsibilities. The seamstresses continue to take workshops on technical skills, but we have expanded these workshops to include Excel, English, and local supply chain management.
Their products are being sold in our store in Ollantaytambo, online and in trunk shows in Seattle, San Francisco and New York this holiday season. They were recently featured in Vogue. Please contact us at email@example.com for more information, and email@example.com for sales/press inquiries.
Your support has allowed Awamaki to teach four inexperienced seamstresses to sew, read patterns, and create products for the international market; now, they are learning to manage their cooperative business and create their own designs. With every accomplishment, they are earning an increased income to support themselves, their families and their communities. Thank you for your role in making this project possible!

Wyoming Winter Landscape
While visiting an old Air Force buddy of mine in Wyoming a few weeks ago we were driving thru the Big Horn Mountains just after a storm and found this hillside leading into the clouds beyond. Just grabbed my eye with the fence bordering the pines and those storm clouds reaching above the top of the hill.

Thanks Diane
I've looked at this shot in b&w which would resolve issues with the dead brown trees but I really prefer the color version with the contrast between the trees and sky and the light split rail fence. The brown would be easy to change with CS6 but it was part of the natural color scheme here and didn't seem to distract form the shot. Although I agree having a nice patch of healthy green trees would be preferable here. Appreciate your comments

According to a new research brief from the Aberdeen Group, Sales Playbooks: How the Best-in-Class Connect Marketing and Sales Through the Entire Selling Lifecycle (October 2012), companies who use sales playbooks outperform companies who don't in the following areas: Overall team attainment of sales quota: 54% vs 46% Percentage of sales reps making quota: 51% vs 40% Customer renewal rate: 61% vs 59% Lead conversation rate: 30% vs 25% According to Peter Ostrow, VP/group director, Aberdeen Group, "The utilization of sales playbooks enables marketing to support the goals of the sales team by ensuring that they have the right messaging, collateral, and tools in hand to support their new customer acquisition, up-selling, or cross-selling initiatives." In addition, the use of sales playbooks can provide specific data regarding the extent to which marketing materials are used by the sales team, as well as correlating the use of individual assets with actual account wins or losses.
"Playbook usage correlates to a 2.5-times larger average deal size," said Gerard Sample, senior director, sales enablement, CA Technologies. "In addition, 85% of sales victories were from reps completing at least half of the playbook activities and overall sales forecasting accuracy has improved dramatically among sales playbooks adopters."

A new award scheme has been launched for churches across England and Wales to recognise how environmentally friendly they are.
Eco Church is backed by former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams and aims to help churches be greener.
Launched by Arocha UK, the first bronze award was given to St Paul's Cathedral.
Two other categories are achievable, silver and gold.
"After recent climate change talks in Paris, Eco Church helps churches integrate environmental care through worship, management of buildings and land, community and global engagement, and personal lifestyle of church members", said A Rocha UK Churches And Theology Director, Dr Ruth Valerio.
Churches can log onto the website and fill out a survey one five key areas: Worship and teaching, Management of church buildings, Management of church land, Community and global engagement and Lifestyle.
After achieving each level, the buildings will be able to display a plaque showing their award.
Former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams launched the scheme and said: "I think it's for the Church to show the world around that there are things that can be done.
"Quite simple things, about monitoring your environmental footprint that make a difference."
He told Premier he thought the take up would be high: "20 years ago or so, the number of people really committed or interested in this was pretty small but looking at the crowds here tonight I think that there's a real turn in the tide."

This turned out wonderfully. After reading the comments I just added a teaspoon or so of italian seasoning.
A really easy, versatile, and tasty soup. I used ground chuck, doubled the garlic...love it, added beef broth instead of the bouillon cubes and water, Italian blend frozen vegetables, and small shell pasta because I couldnt find orzo. Since I bought the Italian vegetables I added a small can of tomato sauce and some italian seasoning. Needed just a little something so I added salt, celery seeds, and some lemon pepper. Served with sliced sourdough bread and enjoyed supper a lot tonight! Made and reveiwed for PAC Fall 2008.
Very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe except I used crushed tomatoes and beef broth instead of the bouillon and water. I also used a can of mixed veggies instead of frozen as I am not a big fan of frozen veggies. I did have to add a bit of salt but we thought the seasoning was just right. Everyone enjoyed it. I even have some to heat up for lunch tomorrow! Made for Fall PAC 2008.
A great idea but this soup, unfortunately, fell short in the flavour department. I added a bit of crushed thyme and some italian seasoning to try to compensate but it still needed more. If I would make this again I would add quite a bit of dried herbs and maybe some cayenne or crushed red pepper. Still a good recipe to play with. Thank you for posting.

Monitoring Virtual Memory with vmstat
It isn't necessarily bad for your system to be using some of its swap space. But if you discover your system is often running low on physical memory and paging is causing performance to suffer, add more memory. If you can't add more memory, run memory-intensive jobs at different times of the day, avoid running nonessential jobs when memory demand is high or distribute jobs across multiple systems if possible.
Resources for this article: /article/8535.
Brian K. Tanaka has been a UNIX system administrator since 1994 with companies such as SGI, Intuit and RealNetworks. He is cofounder of Martingale-Oak, LLC. He can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"A page fault occurs when
"A page fault occurs when the kernel needs a page, finds it doesn't exist in physical memory because it has been paged-out, and re-reads it in from disk"
I'm wondering if that's supposed to read
"A page in occurs when the kernel needs a page, finds it doesn't exist in physical memory because it has been paged-out, and re-reads it in from disk"
Since there is no other mention of page fault in the article and this one instance of page fault is surrounded by talk about page in.
Page Fault/In
The reaction to a "page fault" is a "page in".
The jist of what's written is correct, but there are a couple of minor errors. Page faults occur when any application (and not just the kernel) needs a page that is not currently in memory. A page fault is also not a "kernel" thing, it's a hardware thing. The reaction to the fault, often a "page in" is handled by the kernel. Also, the setup required to support virtual memory is handled by the kernel, but the fault itself is all hardware.
There is also a slight inaccuracy in stating that the fault occurs because the page was previously paged out. The page that causes the fault does not have to have been previously paged out. If the page referred to program code it doesn't get paged out, it just gets paged in when the fault occurs since the code exists in the executable file and doesn't need to be paged out. A page fault can also occur when trying to access memory beyond the end of the stack, thus signalling the O/S that more stack space needs to be allocated, but this again is memory that was never paged out. Here the page is just used as a guard or sentry to tell the O/S when the application needs more stack space.
So I would reword that sentence thusly:
A page fault occurs when the CPU needs a page which does not exist in physical memory. In response to the fault the kernel allocates a free page for the missing memory and if the page was previously paged out, the kernel pages in the previously paged out data. If the kernel is unable to find an unused page to allocate for the missing memory then an existing page will be freed and if need be paged out.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Comments about PowerBar Protein Plus Bars, Chocolate Brownie, 12 ea:
These bars are absolutely delicious. Some protein bars have a funky taste but you'd never guess that these have 30 grams of protein because they're so tasty. I do have to be careful with them because it's tempting to eat a whole box and they have a lot of sugar and calories.

Best flavor of proteinplus
By soccer jay
from virginia
describe yourself Workout daily
Definitely my favorite of the protein plus bars. Good consistency, not bad flavor and high in protein. I take these bars with me for my post workout snack.A lot of these bars really mess with my stomach. Cliff bars for example. Makes me unbearably gassy - not to be gross. Am I alone in this? I have no such experience with this bar which is a huge plus.Just a warning, these are pretty high in calories. 300 maybe? So just be aware and keep it in line with your activity. On lighter days, a half a bar is all you need and will still be satisfying.My only complaint about these bars is the price. One of the most expensive, and I never see them anywhere priced any better. But I stick with them for all of the reasons noted above. Excellent product.

The game known as "bingo" is played with predefined bingo cards that each include a number of bingo designations such as Arabic numerals randomly arranged in a desired manner, commonly in a grid. The bingo designations on the cards are selected from a pool of bingo designations. In traditional bingo games, the cards are physically printed on paper or other suitable material. These traditional printed cards are purchased by players prior to the start of a game. After a buy in period in which players purchase bingo cards for a game, designations from the pool of bingo designations are selected at random to produce a sequence of game designations for the play of the bingo game. As the game designations are selected and announced in the game, the players match the randomly selected game designations with the designations ("card designations") printed on their respective card or cards. This matching and marking of matched designations on the bingo card is commonly referred to as "daubing" the card. The player first producing a predetermined pattern of matches between the randomly selected game designations and the printed card designations on a single card, and then announcing "bingo" to claim the win, is considered the winner. Consolation prizes may be awarded to players having cards matched to produce consolation prize patterns at the time of the winning pattern. Additional prizes may be awarded during the course of a traditional bingo game to players matching other patterns prior to the time the game ending winning pattern is first produced.
There are numerous variations on the traditional bingo game. One particular variation on the traditional bingo game is played with electronic bingo card representations rather than the traditional printed bingo cards. In these electronic bingo games, each bingo card is represented by a data structure that defines the various card locations and designations associated with the locations. The game is played through player stations connected via a communications network. A central computer system or game server in the network may be responsible for storing the bingo card representations and distributing or communicating bingo card representations to players at the player stations. The player stations display the bingo cards defined by the card representations and also allow the players to daub or mark designation matches as game designations are announced in the game. A primary advantage of this type of electronic bingo game is that the games may be played at a much faster pace than is practical with traditional paper bingo. Another advantage of this electronic version of bingo is that the games can be administered and controlled from a remote location and actually played at a number of different bingo establishments, thus allowing greater participation in the games.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/456,721, published as U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0152499 A1 on Aug. 5, 2004, is directed to a networked electronic bingo gaming system that may facilitate rapid play of bingo games. This bingo gaming system rapidly groups players into relatively small bingo game groups and then conducts an individual bingo game for each group. The system has the capability of choosing groups of any size, from two players to many players. However, it is preferable to include as few players as possible in a group for conducting a bingo game in this system in order to keep the time required for collecting the group of players to a minimum. Including a very small number of players in a bingo game group, however, limits the prize structure available for the various patterns that may be obtained in the bingo game. For example, assume each bingo game group is limited to two players. In this case, exactly one half of the players participating in each bingo game in the system will achieve a winning pattern. This is true because a bingo game ends with a player achieving a game ending winning pattern. Because at least one half of the players participating in each bingo game in the system obtain winning results, the prizes available for winning results must be limited. Prizes associated with non-game ending patterns must also be limited. Thus, limiting the number of players in each bingo game group to a very small number, such as two or three, has the effect of limiting the prize structure available for the game.
The present invention overcomes the above-identified problems associated with limiting the number of players in a bingo game group by using bonus designations that are considered along with the regular game designations in distinguishing between different pattern result levels. Considering or applying bonus designations together with the regular game designations may produce a greatly expanded number of prize levels or possible results for the game. This expanded number of prize levels or results in the bingo game allows game designers to produce more varied and interesting prize schedules even where each bingo game is played with a very small group of players.
A method according to the invention includes selecting or producing a set of bonus designations that may contain one or more designations. Each bonus designation included in a set of bonus designations is preferably selected from the same universe or pool of bingo designations from which the card designations and game designations are selected. Regardless of how a set of bonus designations is selected or produced, the invention includes applying the set of bonus designations to distinguish between a number of pattern result levels associated with each winning pattern that may be achieved in the bingo game and to identify a particular one of the pattern result levels for the respective player or game play. The bonus designations may be applied in any manner suitable to differentiate between pattern result levels. One preferred form of the invention applies the bonus designations against the game designations in a winning pattern to distinguish between pattern result levels. Another preferred form of the invention applies the bonus designations against all of the card designations to distinguish between pattern result levels.
The present invention is preferably implemented in a networked bingo gaming system including a number of different processing devices for processing or executing computer program code. The invention thus encompasses not only the method of applying bonus designations but also a bingo gaming system implementing the method and a program product executed by the system. In particular, the invention encompasses a program product that includes bonus designation selection program code, bingo game program code, and pattern result level identifying program code. The bonus designation selection program code performs or facilitates the selection of bonus designations for a set of bonus designations used in the invention, and the bingo game program code conducts a bingo game by matching game designations against a number of card representations placed in play for the bingo game. The bingo game program code also identifies winning patterns and non-winning patterns for the various bingo cards in the game. The pattern result level identifying program code applies the set of bonus designations for a given player or players to identify a pattern result level associated with a pattern for the respective player in the bingo game.
As used in this disclosure and the accompanying claims, the term "bingo card" or simply "card" will be used to refer to either a physical bingo card or a bingo card represented by a set of data. It will be noted that the invention is not limited to use in bingo gaming systems employing any given type of bingo card. The invention may be applied to games employing physical bingo cards and to electronic gaming systems employing card representations made up of data which defines card locations and the card designations included at those various locations.
A gaming system implementing the present invention preferably includes a bingo game server or server system and a number of player stations (which may also be referred to as "electronic player stations") in communication with the bingo game server. The player stations each enable the respective player to enter a bingo game in accordance with the invention and may also participate in or help facilitate the selection of bonus designations. Each player station also presents the results of bingo game play to the respective player. The bingo game server or server system preferably collects game play requests from the various player stations, groups the requests for conducting bingo games, actually conducts the bingo games, and also preferably applies the bonus designations to identify the pattern result level of each pattern achieved in the bingo game.
These and other advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments, considered along with the accompanying drawings.
The claims at the end of this application set out novel features which the Applicants believe are characteristic of the invention. The various advantages and features of the invention together with preferred modes of use of the invention will best be understood by reference to the following description of illustrative embodiments read in conjunction with the drawings introduced above.
The present invention may be used to expand the available prize levels in many different types of bingo gaming systems. The following description of the present invention will be made in reference to a particular bingo gaming system disclosed fully in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0152499 A1 entitled "Method, System, and Program Product for Conducting Multiple Concurrent Bingo-Type Games." However, it should be noted that the invention is not limited to any particular bingo gaming system. Rather, the invention may be used in connection with any bingo gaming system.
The system includes an arrangement for grouping players and/or game play requests for the play of a single bingo game to facilitate rapid play. This grouping includes limiting the number of players and/or game play requests included in a bingo game to reduce the time required to play the game. System 100 reduces the time between a game play request at one of the EPSs 103 and the return of results to the respective EPS sufficiently to allow a great deal of flexibility in how results in the bingo game are displayed to the player. In particular, the bingo game results may be displayed in some manner unrelated to bingo. For example, the bingo game results may be mapped to a display traditionally associated with a reel-type game (slot machine), to a display relating to a card game, or to a display showing a race such as a horse or dog race, for example. Preferred techniques for mapping bingo game results to displays associated with games or contests unrelated to bingo are described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/060,643, published as U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0132661 on Sep. 19, 2002, and entitled "Method, Apparatus, and Program Product for Presenting Results in a Bingo-Type Game."
System 100 rapidly groups players and/or game play requests and starts one game after another so that multiple games may be in play at any given time. That is, once a first group of players or game play requests has been assigned to a bingo game offered through system 100, the system proceeds to simultaneously administer a bingo game for the first group of players or game play requests and also begins grouping players or game play requests for a next bingo game. System 100 does not necessarily wait for one bingo game to be completed before starting to collect players or game play requests for, and actually beginning play in, the next bingo game. The number of players or game play requests grouped for the play of bingo games according to the present invention may be limited to reduce the time required for grouping. For example, each bingo game offered through gaming system 100 shown in
Regardless of the rapid play facilitated by system 100 and regardless of the manner in which the bingo game results are displayed, the underlying game remains a standard bingo game played in the traditional sequence of play for bingo games. That is, each player obtains or is assigned a bingo card or bingo card representation, all bingo cards in play in the game are daubed or checked for matches with a sequence of game designations or "draw," and the first card in the game to match the sequence of game designations to produce the game ending winning pattern represents the card that may win the bingo game, subject to any required claiming action required under the rules of the game. Additional prizes may be awarded for other patterns that may be produced in the course of the bingo game. The mapping of different prizes to various bingo patterns that may be produced in the course of a bingo game in system 100 may be accomplished as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,569,017 B2, entitled "Method for Assigning Prizes in Bingo-Type Games" or U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/238,313, published as U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0048647 A1 on Mar. 11, 2004, entitled "Prize Assignment Method and Program Product for Bingo-Type Games," modified as described below to account for the various pattern result levels identified by applying bonus designations.
As used in the remainder of this disclosure and the accompanying claims, any sequence of game designations that may be matched against bingo cards or card representations in the course of a bingo game is referred to as a "draw" regardless of how the sequence is actually generated. Under this definition, it will be appreciated that a draw may be produced by a random number generator, a pseudo random number generator, or any other suitable device or system, such as a manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic physical ball draw device.
CGS 101 may comprise a computer system such as the basic system shown in
Each LAS 102 included in system 100 as shown in
It will be appreciated that the particular configuration of devices shown in
In the following description of
Once the player has, in one fashion or another, made an input at EPS 103 to enter their card or cards in a bingo game administered through the gaming system (100 in
The nature of the communication forwarding the game play request to LAS 102 will depend upon a number of factors. For example, the communication may include an actual card definition that defines the respective player's card which is in play for the game together with the set of bonus designations to be applied. Alternatively, where card definition files are available at the various system components as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0152499 A1, the communication may include a card identifier for each card placed in play and this identifier may be used to locate the actual card definition. In still other forms of the invention, the player's card or cards placed in play from EPS 103 may be known to the LAS or CGS. In this case, the game play request sent to LAS 102 at block 406 in
Regardless of how EPS 103 drives the display at process block 406 in
In some preferred forms of the bingo gaming system, the bingo player must claim their bingo prize associated with a winning result. In systems in which the player must claim their prize, the EPS process may include activating a prize claiming or daub input at EPS 103 in the event a game play returns a winning result. This prize claiming or daub input activation is included at process block 407 in
If the player claims their prize by taking the appropriate action within the set period of time as indicated by decision block 408 in
In the event the player at EPS 103 does not take the required action to claim the prize within the set period of time, the prize associated with the player's result in the bingo game may be forfeited as indicated at process block 410. In the case of a forfeited prize, EPS 103 may also produce a suitable display to indicate to the player that the prize associated with the play in the bingo game has been forfeited. Any forfeited prizes may be collected and applied to a progressive game offered through system 100 or may be collected for use as a charitable contribution. The forfeiture process may include subtracting a prize value from the player's account. This prize value may have been previously added to the player's account by system 100 automatically in response to the winning result. Whether a prize has been forfeited as shown at process block 410 or has been claimed and the result displayed as shown at process block 409, the process at EPS 103 may return to game play request production step 400 shown in
In some instances, the result from the bingo game may not be associated with any prize. In these instances, the process at EPS 103 may not activate a daub or prize claiming input device, and not wait for an input before displaying the result. Rather, the process at EPS 103 may simply include displaying the non-winning result immediately after receiving the result from LAS 102 without further intervention on the part of the player.
In some forms of the invention, the player's failure to enter a prize claiming or daub input may not result in the forfeiture of the prize, but rather cause the underlying bingo game to proceed with the draw (or additional numbers in the already defined draw sequence). In these forms of the invention, a player's failure to claim the game ending prize causes the underlying bingo game to continue with additional bingo numbers until another game ending winner is produced. This new game ending winner may then be given the opportunity to claim the game ending prize. If the player fails to take the result claiming action at this point, the result may be forfeited or the game may proceed again until another new apparent game ending winner is identified.
In yet other forms of the invention, the EPS 103 may force the player to take a result claiming action in order to proceed on to another game. Also, the result claiming action may be defined broadly so as to ensure that a player takes the action to claim their result. For example, where a player account card must be inserted into an EPS 103 in order for a player to participate in a bingo game offered through system 100, the act of removing the player account card may be defined as the result claiming action if the EPS 103 is waiting for such an action from the player.
Referring now to
In situations where no timer is used at LAS 102 or a timeout has not occurred at decision block 501, the LAS receives a draw for the game play requests it has forwarded to CGS 101 along with the results of the game for those game play requests/players. The actual communications between LAS 102 and CGS 101 may require that the draw is sent in one communication and the results are sent as a separate communication or communications, otherwise both the draw information and results for the game may be sent as a single communication. At process block 504, LAS 102 receives the draw and results for the collected number of game play requests that were forwarded to CGS 101. The process at LAS 102 then proceeds to forward the received draw to the EPSs 103 from which the collected game play requests originated, as shown at process block 505. LAS 102 also forwards the results for the various game play requests, that is, the game results, to the respective EPSs 103. It will be noted that once a ball draw and results have been received for one group of game play requests that have been forwarded to CGS 101, the process returns back to process block 500 and continues to receive and forward game play requests for another bingo game as indicated by the line returning from block 504 to a point in the process immediately below the starting point.
The discussion above regarding
It will be noted that the step of selecting bonus designations at process block 701 in
As shown at process block 703 in
An important variation within the scope of the present invention performs the selection of bonus designations concurrently with the conduct of the bingo game. For example, rather than select the set of bonus designations as one or more separate steps as indicated in
The step of applying the set of bonus designations and identifying pattern result levels shown at process block 704 in
The final step in the process illustrated in
Examples of the step shown at process blocks 704 and 705 in
Referring again to
The bingo card and bingo pattern shown in
There are numerous variations in the manner in which bonus designations may be applied according to the present invention, and the invention is by no means limited to the two alternatives described above. For example, the two alternatives described above may be combined to provide even additional pattern result levels. Also, multiple sets of bonus designations may be considered separately to further expand or distinguish between different pattern result levels. For example, a first set of bonus designations may include three designations and a second set of bonus designations may include an additional three designations. For a given bingo pattern, there would be a maximum of four intermediate pattern result levels considering the first set of bonus designations and each of those intermediate pattern result levels would be associated with an additional four final pattern result levels considering the second set of bonus designations. Thus, for each pattern group there would be a potential total of sixteen pattern result levels considering the two sets of three bonus designations each.
There are also numerous variations in which the present invention may be implemented to increase player interest and excitement. In one preferred implementation, the bonus designations are applied against any card locations on the bingo cards and are selected after the players are aware of their respective bingo cards but before the bingo game is conducted. Under this implementation, the players know the pattern result level for their result in the bingo game prior to knowing the pattern matched in the bingo game, but do not know to which pattern group the pattern result level will be applied. Considerable excitement may be generated at this point for players having high pattern result levels, considering that they may be eligible for a high prize depending upon the pattern their card achieves in the bingo game.

We enjoyed our 5 nights here so much. We wish we were not packing the car right now and could just stay here longer. The lodge is beautiful and very nicely furnished. The bonfire pit and hot tub were some of our very favorites. The kids favorite things were the foosball and pool table, and leaving the property one day for a zip lining trip. This setting was so relaxing and quiet, yet so close to the State Park. Thank you for calling the dog catcher for us to tell them about the sweet stray dog that wondered onto the property throughout our stay. By the time he got here, the dog wondered off again BUT came back again as we were packing to leave. The kids fell in love with the dog for the past several days so needless to say, we have one additional passenger for the ride back home. Her newly given name is Maggie per the kids! Must be fate as we were planning on getting a family pet. The kids are THRILLED to add Maggie to our family!
Very nice and convenient location to the Park. Easy to get there! House had everything we needed - Thank you!
The cabin was beautiful! We were there early April and did not expect snow, but it was very pretty.
The only suggestion we had was for the driving directions. People were reading line by line while driving, and the way it's written with such detail about the driveway with the dumpster and the post lights makes it sound like that's the one. So I think everyone in our group, actually, tried to go up that way before realizing that there was more to the directions taking us to the second driveway. I know the correct route is bold and underlined, but I would find a way to revise it so that so much attention isn't drawn to the first drive.
Otherwise, everything was very clearly marked, and we had a great girls' weekend!
Thank you!
This hocking hills property is really beautiful and is perfect for a group (family or friends) looking for a quiet weekend getaway. Nestled in the woods on a hill top, this large house has all the amenities that you would need and more (fire-pit, charcoal grill, fully equipped video and game room, Jacuzzi etc). The owner, Darla is a pleasure to work with and she is very prompt on responding back to queries. Overall, we had a great time and would like to return during summer or fall.
Just a couple of call-outs:
1. The property is hard to locate. The GPS address does not get you to the driveway. You have to drive ~ 3/4 miles ahead, avoid the steep driveway (with the blue dumpster at the end) and then take the next left turn (kinda hidden). Try to reach during day-light as this will be very difficult to find in the dark.
2. For people looking to check work emails on a weekend or stream movies, the wi-fi is not completely adequate for that. It is sporadically available in certain sections of property (mainly in the basement).
Beautiful property! Had a great stay here for our second time!
This beautiful property is very secluded and quiet. This home had exceeded our expectations in space, decorations, activities, and how well it was equipped with any thing we needed. Not only are you close to Ash Cave, but centrally located to Old Man's Cave, Conkle's Hollow, and Rock House. The views were outstanding. Will look to rent this property in the near future!
This is a lovely property tucked in the Hocking Hills It's very private and the home is wonderful for a family vacation. The pictures don't do it justice. It was better than described. We enjoyed all the amenities of the hot tub, pool table, cards, movies and loved the view. The home is very open and spacious. We stayed only 2 nights so didn't try to cook, but noted that it has all the basics needed to do so. The home is well kept. We had to contact the owner and she was very quick to respond. We didn't read the directions right the first time so ended up driving up the steep driveway- not a good idea. Make sure you take the access road up the hill. It will seem like you are just driving back into woods without rhyme or reason, but then you round the corner and there is a beautiful home. There was also an outdoor fire ring. Great stock of movies. There is a washer and dryer which helped with drying our swimsuits before packing them up for the flight home.
Although we've been coming to the area for years, it was nice to have the basket of information sheets, a few menus, etc to look at for dining options. Glen Laurel is outstanding for a meal without kids. We had our kids with so tried Ravenwood- mix up with reservations as they were having a beer tasting weekend so we weren't able to enjoy eating there. The Lodge in the park had a fabulous Sunday brunch. The hiking at Old Man's Cave is phenomenal- very easy to do and the views are outstanding. Around the corner from Ash Cave is accurate- also a beautiful and level hike.
I would love to bring extended family back for a vacation as this is the perfect home to do so.

text: Benefits Auto Escalation Proposed for Federal Plan May 17, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) introduced a bill to build on efforts to incorporate private sector best practices into the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) for federal employees. By Rebecca Moore email@example.com | May 17, 2012 The Save More Tomorrow Act of 2012 builds on the Thrift Savings Plan Enhancement Act of 2009, which provided that new federal employees are automatically enrolled in the TSP unless they opt out. Employees are automatically enrolled at a 3% deferral rate. The Save More Tomorrow Act of 2012 would increase the contribution rate by 1% per year to at least 5%. The act promotes a goal Congress previously established of encouraging workers in the Federal Employees' Retirement System to save at least 5% of their pay in the TSP. In a news release, Senator Akaka said: "The Save More Tomorrow Act will make it easier for new TSP participants to save for retirement. Pairing automatic enrollment with automatic escalation in 401(k) plans has proven effective in increasing private sector savings rates. Congress should incorporate this best practice into the TSP."

My primary focus is obstetrics, but I also enjoy gynecological care including colposcopy.
Born in Michigan and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, I received my undergraduate degree at UCLA and then returned to Arizona for medical school and residency training. After practicing briefly in Arizona, I practiced for four years in Washington state, then moved with my family to Utah in 1998 -- to be closer to extended family -- and joined Sandy OB/GYN. In 2016 I made the move to Women's Health Specialists in St. George. I consider Utah my home after falling in love with its beautiful mountains and fabulous people. Obstetrics is my true love. I find that pregnancy is a special and unique time of a woman's life; a time when women need a special advocate, a listening ear, and a very knowledgeable resource. I also very much enjoy gynecological care from the continuity of annual visits to helping women with pap and period problems, to performing surgeries. I consider myself an energetic and outgoing individual. My greatest joy from practicing medicine is the close interaction with my patients. Medical knowledge and skill are essential, but I believe that it's really the one-on-one communication and reassurance that forms the bond and makes healing truly possible. I love the practice of medicine and I'm very thankful for my family's great support. I'm happily married and have children and grandchildren. My free time is filled with staying physically fit, reading, scrapbooking and enjoying outdoor theater and musical concerts.

Open Source
Like Linux itself, AppImageKit is Open Source. Use it to package your open or commercial applications.
Download an application, make it executable, and run! No need to install. No system libraries or system preferences are altered.
Can also run in a sandbox like Firejail.
Distribute your desktop Linux application in the AppImage format and win users running all common Linux distributions. Package once and run everywhere. Reach users on all major desktop distributions.
Here is an application packaged as an AppImage for you to try. Just download the application, website, make it executable, and run! No need to install. Runs on most 32-bit and 64-bit Linux desktops.Try Subsurface AppImage (64-bit) Try Subsurface AppImage (32-bit)
Many upstream projects like Krita, Subsurface, and MuseScore have started to provide AppImages directly on their download pages. More AppImages for other applications like Atom, Arduino, Blender, Chromium, Firefox, LibreOffice, and QCAD can be downloaded here (64-bit).
To run an AppImage, simply:
Make it executable
$ chmod a+x Subsurface*.AppImage
and run!
$ ./Subsurface*.AppImage
That was easy, wasn't it?
The key idea of the AppImage format is one app = one file. Every AppImage contains an app and all the files the app needs to run. In other words, each AppImage has no dependencies other than what is included in the targeted base operating system(s).
AppImage format is ideal for upstream packaging, which means that you get the software directly from the original author(s) without any intermediaries, exactly in the way the author(s) intended. And quickly.
AppImages can be downloaded and run without installation or the need for root rights.
Like Linux itself, AppImageKit is Open Source. Use it to package your open or commercial applications.
AppImageKit and its predecessor, klik, have been in the making for over a decade.
Works with most reasonably recent desktop Linux distributions. Well, almost.
Learn about how you can use AppImageKit to create your own AppImages in the AppImageKit Wiki.WIKI
