This place is a great choice if your looking for food on a budget. Nosara can be pricey and this is what Nosara should be all about, local food made from the locals.
I never travel to the area without having at least 1 breakfast at Rosi's. Great service, great food at a great price. The fruit smoothies are delicious and the huevos rancheros have just the right amount of flavor in the sauce. It's Tican comfort food as I imagine it would be.
Rosie's moved since the last time I visited two years ago and I initially panicked when I saw that it had been replaced by an architectural firm. Luckily, we discovered it a day later, just down the road next to the tennis courts.
This place is an institution. Rosie is always there in the kitchen, cooking up each meal from...
Rosi's Soda Tica, delicious food, great service, great price. I felt like I was in my mama's kitchen. A little piece of home cooking for your soul. I will definitely be visiting again before I head home. Love it!
This restaurant offers a filling home cooked meal for a fair and decent price. It's a must if you want authentic Tican food.
We went to Rosi's a couple of times and were so pleased . There is a dish - Casado maybe (married mans meal) wonderful local fish and great maracuya juice for all. Best prices in town and Rosi and her girls always have a smile. Our first visit they went ahead and served us a late lunch even though it...
The best local style food in Nosara and by far the best value for money. Rosi and the rest of the ladies are cooking up perfectly balanced meals for way less than everyone else is charging. I just wish they were open for dinner too!
All Ticos and Ticas at this special spot! Delicious food just like your Spanish Grandma made! Cheaper than the hotels and worth a stop!
Great place for healthy and inexpensive breakfast or lunch. You will fall in love with black bean soup after trying Rosi's!
My hubby and I had a delicious lunch of open face tacos. Including soft drinks for about $8.00. There are only a few tables, open air and adorable. A fav of the locals. Tica means local.

Keyboard freaking out after spill!

Hey everybody! So, I had a bit of a spill. I have a 2010 13" MacBook pro. I cleaned it up as soon as possible, but I was completely unable to use my keyboard after that. I bought an external one that works using Bluetooth and it's doing just fine. The problem is my keyboard seems to freak out every once in a while, and will do things like type semi-colons over and over, type in my address bar, or change the names of folders on my desktop until I press a button a few times on the broken built-in keyboard. Usually this stops it, but often it starts doing it again almost immediately. Is there anything I can do to keep it from bothering me? It sometimes makes it difficult to get any work done. I'd really appreciate any help!

Carry it to a Apple Store and see about getting it replaced. Your lucky the computer didn't fry. Also you may still have soda pop under the keyboard on the inside.
From my experience, sticky normally means soda pop spill.. I lost a really nice keyboard from soda spill. Even after constant cleaning with everything from alcohol, paint thinner and window cleaner. Nothing could remove that stuff from the plastic and connectors. My wife actually even fried her computer from a small water spill one day.. Somehow it blew the voltage regulators.. Not sure how but it did.
But, go to apple, send it in, get it fixed. Or just have to deal with the current situation the way you are. But I would be very concerned about soda being on the inside of the computer.

Thanks! I appreciate that. I don't think anything is left in there though. I spilled rum, which I'm thinking dries pretty quickly, and I cleaned all my keys individually after it happened. I might take it in, but I'm not sure what they can do. I'd rather put up with it then spend money to fix it right now. Is there anything else I can do?

2. Sugar is VERY detrimental to your laptop
3. Any liquid spill of any sort (other than distilled pure alcohol -which you can't drink) will contain corrosion inducing properties to your logic board.
4. Unless you remove those chemicals, your logic board is going to die. Maybe today. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not till 2015.. nobody knows until it's inspected.
5. There's not a way in hell I would take it to Apple for the fiscal rape of a liquid spill situation. They're going to charge you Tier IV rates ($850-1200).
I'd find one of the good online service groups and ship it to them. You're going to need a new keyboard, a manual scrubbing of your logic board to prevent corrosion, and its going to cost you $150-300 ish.. ( somebody i know just recently went thru this, and no, I wasn't happy to pay for it)....
My personal favorite service group is wegenermedia (Wegener Media - Mac Sales and Service) - they've done several service jobs for me and my clients... There are other good companies as well - i used a group out in CA a couple times for clients (and can't remember their name anymore, but I think it was CTS. And you could try the powerbookmedic (www.powerboookmedic.com) I think they do that sort of work.
BUT, whatever you do, don't just ignore the problme.. it's going to get worse. corrosion waits for no man.....

The present application claims the benefit of commonly owned U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/239,334 filed Oct. 9, 2000, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The U.S. Government has a paid-up license in this invention and the right in limited circumstances to require the patent owner to license others on reasonable terms as provided for by contract no. DE-AC06-76RLO 1830 awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The present invention relates to data processing techniques and more particularly, but not exclusively, relates to the discovery and visualization of association rules.
Association is a powerful data analysis technique that finds frequent use in data mining tasks. Given a set of items, S={i1, i2, ij, . . . , in} where n≧2, an association rule is an implication of the form X→ij; where X⊂S, and ij∉S such that ij∉X. The set of items X is the antecedent, while the item ij is the consequent of the association rule. The size of X is between 1 to (n−1) items. The "support" of the rule X→ij is the percentage of items in S that satisfies the union of items in X and ij. The "confidence" of the rule is the percentage of items that satisfies X and also satisfies ij. The support and confidence levels of an association rule are among the metadata frequently of interest to analyzers.
For the given elements A, B, C and D of a common domain, A+B+C→D is an example of an association rule; where the occurrence of A & B & C together imply D. Another example from a supermarket database is "80% of the people who buy diapers and baby powder also buy baby oil." Applying the more general notation from the earlier example, this supermarket database association can be represented in elemental form as A+B=C; where A="buy diapers", B="buy baby powder", and C="buy baby oil." For further background information concerning association rule data mining, reference is made to Pak Chung Wong, Paul Whitney and Jim Thomas, "Visualizing Association Rules for Text Mining" Proceedings of IEEE Information Visualization, (published by IEEE CS Press) (dated Oct. 26, 1999).
In contrast to association rules, another common knowledge discovery and data mining tool is sequential patterning. A four-element sequential pattern can be represented as A→B→C→D; where A, B, C, and D are elements of the same domain. An association rule is a study of "togetherness" of elements, whereas a sequential pattern is a study of the "ordering" or "arrangement" of elements. Further background information about sequential patterns can be found in above cited U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/239,334 filed Oct. 9, 2000.
To support analyses of association rules, scientists and engineers have developed various limited visualization schemes. Among these limited schemes are the two-dimensional item-to-item matrix and the directed graph. The basic design of a two-dimensional (2D) association matrix positions the antecedent and consequent items on separate axes of a square matrix as illustrated in the examples of FIGS. 7 and 8. Customized icons are drawn on certain matrix tiles that connect the antecedent and the consequent items of the corresponding association rules. Different icons can be used to depict different metadata such as the support and confidence values of the rules. FIG. 7 depicts an association rule (B→C). Both the height and the color of the column icon can be used to present metadata values. The values of support and confidence are mapped to 3D columns that are built separately on and beneath the matrix tiles. Alternatively, other icons such as disk and bar can be used to visualize metadata.
This type of item-to-item matrix is frequently effective to show a one-to-one binary relationship; however, it is often less effective when visualizing many-to-one relationships, as in the case of association rules with multiple antecedent items. For example, in FIG. 8 it is unclear if there is only one association rule (A+B→C) or two (A→C and B→C). The lack of a practical way to identify the togetherness of individual antecedent items makes this matrix form a weaker candidate to visualize rules with multiple antecedent items.
In one attempt to address this problem, all the antecedent items of an association rule are grouped as one unit and plotted against its consequent, resulting in an antecedent-to-consequent plot. For example, a dedicated item group (A+B) is created in FIG. 9 to describe the association rule (A+B→C). Unfortunately, as the number of antecedents for a given rule increases, the number of possible item-to-item relationships becomes unwieldy. Furthermore, the loss of item identity within an antecedent group also undermines advantages provided by visualizing the associations with a matrix. For example, the row (or column) of the matrix connected to an item can no longer be used to search for all the rules involving that item.
Another problem with some item-to-item matrix displays is object occlusion, especially when multiple icons are used to depict different metadata values on the matrix tiles. The occlusion problem is illustrated in the example of FIG. 10.
As illustrated in FIG. 11, a directed graph is another possible scheme for depicting item associations. The nodes of a directed graph represent the items, and the edges represent the associations. FIG. 11 shows three association rules (A→C, B→C, A+B→C). Unfortunately, for as few as a dozen rules, a directed graph can often become tangled and difficult to follow. In an attempt to address this problem, the edges are animated to show the associations of certain items with 3D rainbow arcs. See, Beth Hetzler, W. Michelle Harris, Susan Havre, and Paul Whitney, "Visualizing the Full Spectrum of Document Relationships" Proceedings of the Fifth International Society for Knowledge Organization (ISKO) Conference (dated 1998). However, this animation technique typically requires significant human interaction to turn on and off the item nodes, and it is frequently difficult to show multiple metadata values, including support and confidence, alongside the association rules.
Indeed, with any of these existing schemes, it is often difficult to meaningfully visualize a large number of association rules, and effective management of association rules with multiple antecedents is generally lacking. Accordingly, new strategies are needed to identify and present association rule information. The present invention addresses such needs.
One embodiment of the present invention is a unique data processing technique. Other embodiments include unique apparatus, systems, and methods for processing association rules.
A further embodiment of the present invention includes processing a dataset to determine a number items and establishing several rules with a computer system. These rules each correspond to a different association between two or more of the items. A visualization is provided that displays a rule-to-item relationship for each one of the rules. This visualization can further display one or more types of metadata for the rules. The visualization can be in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional form.
Yet a further embodiment includes: processing a dataset with a computer to determine several association rules and providing a visualization of the association rules; where the association rules each correspond to a different one of a number of portions of the visualization. A set of identifiers is included in the visualization for each one of the association rules. These identifiers each have a different location along the different one of the portions. One of the identifiers represents a consequent item, and one or more other of the identifiers correspondingly represent one or more antecedent items.
In another embodiment, a computer system includes one or more processors operable to process a dataset to determine a number of items and establish a number of association rules for these items. The one or more processors generate a visualization output of the association rules that includes one or more signals representative of a rule-to-item relationship for each one of the association rules. The system further includes an output device responsive to the visualization output to display a visualization of the association rules.
In still another embodiment, a computer apparatus includes logic to generate a visualization of several association rules. This logic comprises an extraction engine operable to determine a number items from a dataset, an association rule mining engine operable to establish the association rules from the items, and a visualization output generator. This generator provides the visualization with a region defined by a first axis and a second axis. The association rules each correspond to a different location along the first axis and the items each correspond to a different location along the second axis to provide a rule-to-item relationship for each of the association rules.
In yet further embodiments, other systems, computer-readable devices, computer information transmission mediums (such as computer networks) are provided that include logic and/or programming instructions to generate one or more unique association rule visualizations of the present invention.
Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide a unique data processing technique.
Another object is to provide a unique apparatus, system, device, or method for visualizing association rules.
Further objects, embodiments, forms, features, aspects benefits, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the drawings and detailed description contained herein.

For the purpose of promoting an understanding of the principles of the invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended. Any alterations and further modifications in the described embodiments, and any further applications of the principles of the invention as described herein are contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
FIG. 1 diagrammatically depicts computer system 20 of one embodiment of the present invention. System 20 includes computer 21 with one or more computer processor(s) 22. Processor(s) 22 can be of any type. System 20 also includes operator input devices 24 and operator output devices 26 operatively coupled to processor(s) 22. Input devices 24 include a conventional mouse 24 a and keyboard 24 b, and alternatively or additionally can include a trackball, light pen, voice recognition subsystem, and/or different input device type as would occur to those skilled in the art. Output devices 26 include a conventional graphic display 26 a, such as a plasma, Cathode Ray Tube (CRT), or Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) type, and color printer 26 b. Alternatively or additionally output devices 26 can include an aural output system and/or different output device type as would occur to those skilled in the art. Further, in other embodiments, more or fewer operator input devices 24 or operator output devices 26 may be utilized.
System 20 also includes memory 28 operatively coupled to processor(s) 22. Memory 28 can be of one or more types, such as solid-state electronic memory, magnetic memory, optical memory, or a combination of these. As illustrated in FIG. 1, memory 28 includes a removable/portable memory device 28 a that can be an optical disk (such as a CD ROM or DVD); a magnetically encoded hard disk, a floppy disk, tape, or cartridge media; or a different form as would occur to those skilled in the art. In one embodiment, at least a portion of memory 28 is operable to store programming instructions for processor(s) 22. Alternatively or additionally, memory 28 can be arranged to store data other than programming instructions for processor(s) 22. In still other embodiments, memory 28 and/or portable memory device 28 a may not be present. In one such example, a hardwired state-machine configuration of processor(s) 22 does not utilize memory-based instructions.
System 20 also includes computer network 30 that can include a Local Area Network (LAN); Wide Area Network (WAN), such as the Internet; another type as would occur to those skilled in the art; or a combination of these. Network 30 couples computer 40 to computer 21; where computer 40 is remotely located relative to computer 21. Computer 40 can include one or more processor(s), input devices, output devices, and/or memory as described in connection with computer 21; however these features of computer 40 are not shown to preserve clarity of FIG. 1.
Computer 40 and computer 21 can be arranged as client and server, respectively, in relation to some or all of the data processing of the present invention. For this arrangement, it should be understood that many other remote computers 40 could be included as clients of computer 21, but are not shown to preserve clarity. In another embodiment, computer 21 and computer 40 can both be participating members of a distributed processing arrangement with one or more processors located at a different site relative to the others. The distributed processors of such an arrangement can be used collectively to execute routines according to the present invention. In still other embodiments, remote computer 40 may be absent.
System 20 is also depicted with computer-accessible data sources or datasets generally designated as corpora 50. Corpora 50 include datasets 52 local to computer 21 and remotely located datasets 54 accessible via network 30. Computer 21 is operable to process data selected from one or more of corpora 50. Referring additionally to FIG. 2, system 20 is defined in terms of selected conceptual data processing components 60. The one or more corpora 50 can be accessed with data extraction engine 62 to selectively extract information according to predefined criteria. Results obtained with extraction engine 62 are submitted to sequential data mining engine 64 and/or association rule data mining engine 65. The data mined with engines 64 or 65 is processed by visualization generator 66 or 67, respectively, to provide a corresponding visualization output. Engines 62, 64, and 65 and generators 66 and 67 are defined through corresponding logic of processor(s) 22. This logic can be of a dedicated, hardwired variety and/or in the form of programming instructions as is suitable for the particular processor arrangement. System 20 is arranged to present a graphic display with one or more of output devices 26 in response to the visualization output provided by generator 66 or 67 and/or transmit the visualization over computer network 30.
Next, features of the present invention more specifically directed to association rule visualization are described. Referring to FIG. 3, a flowchart of data processing routine 120 for mining and visualizing association rules is depicted. Routine 120 represents one nonlimiting way in which engines 62 and 65 and generator 67 can be implemented. In stage 122 of routine 120, a dataset is selected for processing from the available corpora 50. Topics of interest are extracted from the selected dataset in correspondence to the previously described extraction engine 62.
In one experimental example, a word-based data extraction engine was used to extract a list of content-bearing words from a news article corpus obtained from open sources. This corpus has a size of about ˜9MB and is stored as an ASCII file with more than 3,000 articles collected during Apr. 20-26, 1995. The news articles of the corpus have a strong theme associated with the bombing of the U.S. Federal Building in Oklahoma. Other major news stories during the week include the Simpson trial, the Unabomber, the Bosnian crisis, and the France election.
In operation, the word-based extraction engine selects an interesting subset of words. Words separated by white spaces in a corpus can be evaluated within the context of the corpus to assess whether a word warrants inclusion as a topic. In one embodiment, Bookstein's techniques regarding identification of content-bearing words are used to assess the relative contribution of a word to the content of the corpus. These techniques are further described in A. Bookstein, S. T. Klein, and T. Raita, "Clumping Properties of Content Bearing Words," Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 49(2), pp. 102-114 (dated 1998). The co-occurrence or lack of co-occurrence of candidate topic words in documents is used to evaluate the strengths of the words. Stemming is used to remove suffixes so that similar words are represented by the root word. Commonly appearing words that do not directly contribute to the content—such as prepositions, pronouns, adjectives, and gerunds—are ignored. The result is a set of content-bearing words that represent the major topics (or themes) of the corpus. Table 1 below shows the top twenty topic words generated from this form of engine 62 as follows:
News Story
Congress and budget
Simpson trial
North/South Korea nuclear
France election
Bosnian crisis
Bosnian crisis
Simpson trial
North/South Korea nuclear
France election
Bosnian crisis
Oklahoma bombing
Simpson trial
Oklahoma bombing
North/South Korea nuclear
Bosnian crisis
Simpson trial
Oklahoma bombing
Bosnian crisis
In another experimental example, a concept-based extraction engine was used for engine 62 that resulted in concepts (represented as word groups) based on the corpus.
Routine 120 proceeds from stage 122 to stage 126 to permit operator input of selected parameter(s) for computing association rules from the extracted topics. Stage 126 can support the selection of confidence and/or support levels for the association rule analysis.
Routine 120 proceeds from stage 126 to stage 128. In stage 128, association rules are determined in accordance with input(s) from stage 126 using any of a number of data mining techniques known to those skilled in the art. For the experimental example resulting in Table 1, the topic words from the word-based form of engine 62 were fed into the mining engine 65 to compute the association rules according to the requested confidence and support values. Table 2 shows a sample of topic association rules with confidence ≧80% and support ≧1% generated from the April 1995 news corpus as follows

Referring back to FIG. 3, routine 120 proceeds from stage 128 to stage 160. In stage 160, a visualization output is provided with generator 67 that corresponds to the association rules identified in stage 128. FIG. 4 provides one example of a three-dimensional (3D) perspective visualization 220 generated in accordance with the present invention. This visualization format provides a way to depict "many-to-one" association rules by using a matrix to depict "rule-to-item" relationships instead of the item-to-item relationships common to the forms previously described. FIG. 4 includes planar matrix region 222 with a grid pattern. In FIG. 4, the rows 224 extend along axis 225 of region 222 and represent the items (or topics in the context of text mining) as listed along the left, and the columns 226 extend along axis 227 and represent the item associations or rules. Accordingly, each item corresponds to a different location along axis 225 and each rule corresponds to a different location along axis 227. Only a few of rows 224 and columns 226 are specifically designated by reference numerals to preserve clarity.
Visualization 220 includes a number of different visual identifiers 230. For example, the darker blocks projecting from region 222 represent antecedent items, a few of which are designated by reference numeral 232; and the lighter blocks projecting from region 222 represent the consequent items, a few of which are designated by reference numeral 234. In one experimental form, color is used to distinguish the aritecedent and consequent identifiers, with the former being blue and the later being red. In still other forms, different colors, shading, shaping, dimensions, hatching, and/or other patterning could be used to distinguish the antecedent and consequent identifiers.
Besides antecedent items 232 and consequent items 234, other identifiers 230 indicate various metadata attributes. For example, the confidence and support levels of the rules are given by the corresponding bar charts 240 and 250 in different scales at the far end of the matrix. The confidence bar chart 240 has scale 242 along axis 243 on the right. The support bar chart 250 has scale 252 along axis 253 on the left. The support bar chart 250 is in front of confidence bar chart 240 in visualization 220. Only a few representative bars 244 of chart 240 and bars 254 of chart 250 are specifically designated to preserve clarity. As in the case of the blocks for antecedent and consequent identifiers, bars 244 and 254 can be distinguished by different visual patterns such as different coloration, hatching, shading, shaping, dimensioning and the like.
In other embodiments, support level, confidence level, or both could be presented in a different form of chart, such as a line or area graph, or presented above and/or below region 222 to name just a few. For other alternative embodiments, different metadata attributes can be depicted or metadata attributes could be absent from the visualization. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the rule-to-item relationships are visualized in a two-dimensional (2D) form with consequent and antecedent items being represented by nonprojecting icons. In one form of a 2D embodiment, each box or column identifier is replaced with a pixel (or block of pixels) identifier, where pixel colors are used to indicate the item type and/or metadata attributes.
It has been found that the visualization techniques of the present invention provide a desirable organization of association rules and related metadata for a quantity of at least several hundred association rules when displayed on a common 17-inch graphic monitor screen; where such rules can include dozens of antecedents. Unlike item-to-item matrix visualizations, for desired applications the approach of the present invention facilitates presentation of a large number of antecedents with little or no occlusion and without creation of additional "multiple antecedent" row or column entries. Furthermore, it permits analysis of the distributions of the association rules (horizontal axis) as well as the items within (vertical axis) simultaneously. This approach also can often simplify the presentation relative to schemes that require screen swapping, animation, or complex human interaction to analyze the rules.
Once generated, the visualization is examined in stage 162. The stage 162 examination can be performed by one or more parties interested in the particular association rule knowledge being sought. Examples of applications of association rule data mining and/or visualization in accordance with the present invention include, but are not limited to merchandise stocking, insurance fraud investigation, and climate prediction. Stage 162 can also include operator input options to: present the visualization on display 26 a and/or printer 26 b; modify various parameters of the visualization (such as hide one or more patterns, change support or confidence indicators, etc . . . ); review extracted topic information underlying the visualization (with or without support values); and/or store extraction data or visualization information in memory 28. For one form of visualization presented on display 26 a, routine 120 provides a zoom-in/zoom-out capability via mouse 24 a or another pointing device to support context and focus analysis of the visualized association rules.
From the examination of stage 162, routine 120 proceeds to conditional 164 to determine if adjustments to selected processing parameters are desired to further refine or redirect the operations in stages 122, 124, 130, and/or 160. If such changes are desired, the affirmative branch of conditional 164 leads to stage 170. In stage 170, several selections are provided, including, for example: an option to choose one or more different datasets for extraction; a filter to select only a subset of the previously extracted topics and/or screen-out one or more unwanted topics from the previously processed dataset; and/or an adjustment to visualization layout, colors, shapes, shading, or the like. Preferably, these options are provided in a Graphical User Interface (GUI) form. By way of nonlimiting example, a pop-up menu with a check box for each extracted topic can be used to restrict items to be included in a given visualization.
While stage 170 is depicted as returning to stage 122, it should be understood that in practice, the re-execution of routine 120 may be resumed at one or more of the other stages, depending on the adjustments made. Indeed, in an alternative embodiment, the option to adjust selected parameters can be presented as part of the execution of a corresponding stage. Also, it should be appreciated that routine 120 can be executed a number of times to obtain different visualization outputs for comparison through this processing loop. Once conditional 164 is encountered and the corresponding test is negative, routine 120 terminates.
FIGS. 5 and 6 provide further examples of visualizations 320 and 420, respectively. Visualizations 320 and 420 are presented in accordance with the features previously described in connection with visualization 220 of FIG. 4. More specifically, visualization 320 of FIG. 5 depicts a set of topic association rules extracted from the April 1995 news corpus with support≧6% and confidence ≧60%. The rules of visualization 320 are listed in ascending order from the left side according to the confidence values. Visualization 320 can be used to study different aspects of the topic associations, including the topic distribution of selected rules and the correlation between different metadata values. Visualization 420 of FIG. 6 shows a different arrangement of the same set of association rules as shown in FIG. 5. In visualization 420, the association rules are ordered by the consequent items, such that all the associations with the same consequent items are group together for analysis.
Many other embodiments of the present invention are envisioned. For example, while the applications previously described are in terms of a text-based corpus, association rules for other forms of data can be visualized in accordance with the teachings of the present invention. In a further embodiment of the present invention, one or more visualized aspects may be absent or combined with other features. In one such alternative, multiple antecedents are not individually shown. Alternatively or additionally, support level, confidence level, or both could be absent or presented in a combined manner.
In further embodiments, an apparatus, method, system, device, or computer transmission medium for providing an association rule visualization according to the present invention is applied specifically to processing of one or more dataset types including: merchandise stocking information, insurance fraud investigation data, climate prediction information, medical insurance claim data, bioinformatic data, genomic data, drug performance data, and/or information relating to risk factors for military operations.
In another embodiment, the techniques for processing and/or visualizing association rules are integrated with any of the methods, systems, or apparatus identified for discovering and/or visualizing sequential patterns in the commonly owned U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/239,334 filed Oct. 9, 2000.

Going home
Stayed over in Charlotte last night. It was our first experience with AirBNB and it went well. Jonathan and his partner were very nice and the room was clean and comfortable. On the other hand our flight experience was not nearly as good. USAir/American Airlines really screwed the pooch. They were asking for volunteers to give up seats and we decided ...
Mixed bag and a few states
... day today with a few stopovers and ended the day at Pine Mountain Park near the Tennessee border.
Day 67. Friday 31 July 2015
On to Gatlinburg (more touristy than in 1993) and through the Great Smoky Mountains National park (still beautiful). Took some by roads and it was lovely. We drove up Clingmans Dome but couldn't get a park. I had a look while Linton slowly drove i the queue around the parking area. This had been only ...
The Way to Charlotte
July 8, 2015 part 2
You quickly remember why travel is an experience in chaos and long, long airline sky and terminal time.
Our plane was about an hour late leaving Madrid. Good thing, pilot picked up speed and arrived in Charlotte, South Carolina at our appointed time. Really nice aisle seats across from each other with plenty of leg room. (Of course there was we had already paid extra for seat upgrades). Everyone had their own little mobile seat unit with ...
And we are off!!!
Well after frantically getting the house in order, working an extra day at work, we finally are at the airport. Only to realize that I forgot my camera! Then the plane is delayed to fix the A/C. They finally announce that it will be an hour at least before boarding. So Dan ran home to get the camera. Thank heavens! Even small miracles are wonderful!
... Botox in her face to Angelina Jolie the entire state of California but she did a great job and we spent the next hour feeding the performers dollar bills which should be degrading but somehow isn't.
The drinks were treating us well (the bartender bought Monica and me a shot, and what did he choose? Yep! Fireball!) and when karaoke hour started Rose Rivers showed up to serenade us with 4 Non-Blondes and Radiohead. She and Monica did an Indigo Girls duet, Adhara ...

I will defend P3 and 4--well, I liked them at least. I never went back to play 1 and 2, partially because Persona, regardless of the game, is LONG, and I didn't want to have to track down physical copies of really inferior versions of the game (especially US P1--good god I don't know what they thought was so wrong with all the characters!). Are there even PS1 ISOs for less awful English versions? I would honestly play fixed versions of the US editions, but I don't know if anyones hacked those, and I'm not buying a PSP.Being quite honest here, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment's worst aspects are its voice acting (Most of the actors are union veterans by now.) and the fact that it kept the Revelations: Persona names. Persona 2: Innocent Sin was never brought over, so you'd have to use Gemini's translation for it.
I'd also add Persona 2 - dark as shit. I'm of the opinion that they ruined the Persona series with 3I thought I was the only one! I encounter either of the following camps:
Mind you I never went to officially released the patch officially since I'm not happy with how it is.
First of all, I could only replace existing P1P tracks with P1 PSX tracks. That means I was only able to include roughly 1/3 of the music that was in the PSX version.
Secondly, I had to shorten some tracks due to filesize protection that the game uses.
If you're still interested however, then here you go:
[Mega link that could potentially go down]
Personally I'd instead just recommend playing PSP version first and then replaying the PSX version already knowing the plot and using online guide for item translations since that way you will be able to experience original music properly and not in a shortened/cut down form.
You're free to distribute the patch if you so desire, I only ask that you credit me as the author if you do so.
I'd just like to say I'm so happy I wasn't the only one who didn't like Chrono Cross or Breath of Fire 5. Literally everywhere on the internet I see people heaping praise on these gamesMan, you must not've seen all the hatred back in the day. Like, everyone hated them when they were relevant, but now the nay-sayers have moved on unless given the opportunity to say why they didn't like the games.
Wild Arms 3This, and Phantasy Star III. That game is so horrible that I've revoked support for my mod for it. Like, I regret having played PSIII.
Wild Arms 3 is probably the biggest disappointment of all time for me. I love Wild Arms. It's one of my favorite game. Heck, I like most of the series. Wild Arms 4 and Wild Arms 5 were both standout stars as well. Wild Arms 3 got everything wrong in the most painful ways imaginable to me. I hated it. I should have quit many times over, but I kept thinking it couldn't possibly be that bad. It was.
One recommendation by RHDN to check CRCs on Windows is to install HashTab. Then you can right-click on the file and click Properties and get the hashes on the menu.
I think the preferred and definitive source for this site should be ROM Hasher. The output can be copied and pasted right to RHDN submission forms meeting all guidelines.The problem isn't that I don't know how to get the hashes, it's that I don't have the ROM he used for these. Would either of these programs give me the proper hashes if I were to scan the IPSes themselves? I do know of a place I can get a ROM that works for Frue Lufia and probably more of these, but there's also the problem of the patches that require a 3 MB expanded ROM. The way Artemis phrases it in the readme, I don't know if the patches expand the ROM when applied, (I'm sure the project ones do, but I don't know about, say, the Map Fixer patch.) or if you need to expand them yourself before applying.
Back when I owned this game on a cart I remember a glitch that I believe was triggered by something in the equipment menu. I think I removed something or was just switching equip and some of the armor or weapon names became glitched and from what I remember it messed up some of the menus and the damage was permanent (to that save file). Do any of these fixes address this issue (I haven't read through all of the readmes yet, it's a lot of patches)?I do believe that Relnqshd's Lufia Fixxxer Deluxe (And his Artea Name Fix Patch.) was used in addition to Artemis' bug fixes in pretty much all patches in the Projects folder. The "music menu glitch" is what you're referring to. You'd change the sound settings from Stereo to Mono and back again, and you get to Level 0 and freak the game out. The switching weapons and armor glitch has also been fixed, but that was harmless and cosmetic. I don't think Artemis implies this in any of his readmes, though.
For the longest time I've wanted to replay this game with bug fixes (bugs were the reason I didn't finish it in the first place) but didn't want all of the other non-bugfix stuff that was tacked on to the previously available patches to make the game more difficult. It's nice to see these patches uploaded (and separated). Thank you.You're welcome, SunGodPortal. But you should really thank Artemis! All I did was some spell-checking.
LOL just don't mind thatI would love to, but I don't know the correct--are they called "hashes?" The CRC-32, MD-5, SHA-1, and all that. I basically don't know what ROM Artemis used as a basis for these.
At least its from someone you knew.
Maybe you would like to add it here before someone steals it from you? JK
Question: In the Spekkio Lufia Hack, is it just the Egg Dragon and the Final bosses that are more difficult? Or was there a general difficulty upgrade?I have never played Spekkio Lufia, but I've heard it's like Frue Lufia with the "Spekkio Dragon and Seduction Master" and "Sweet La Puella" patches applied.
I ask because I would love a difficulty hack that straddles what I understand to be the brutality of the Kureji Lufia patch and the ease of the original (that brutality is part of the reason I never played Kureji Lufia). I may just try playing through Frue Lufia anyways, as I really wouldn't mind a cleaned up playthrough, but some added overall difficulty would make it....a bit easier for me to motivate myself to do so
make the character's naming screens have set by default: Randi, Purim, and Popoie. These are the 'official' names that SoM veterans can agree uponThe iOS/Android version actually names them Randi, Primm, and Popoi.
I modded the naming dialog.Oh, neat! Sounds like it's way beyond my capabilities though.
It's a bit of work. You have to alter and move the naming dialog text, change the dialog layout, create button events for up/down movement and alter the closing event to read the new text correctly.
I also fixed a little known bug in the dialog that allows you to duplicate starting equipment.
Also, I'd suggest adding something like this to your hack. The all caps thing has always annoyed me.How did you manage to get lowercase letters on the naming screen?! Or is this just a mock up? I've been wanting to add lowercase letters since I made my Proper-casing mod...

Old run down is best description. Old beds with old blankets, no ice bucket, pictures not hanging on wall leaned against the wall and bathroom light had no cover on it. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

DEFINITION of 'Liability Matching'
An increasingly popular investment strategy that attempts to time future assets sales and income streams to match against expected future expenses. The strategy has become widely embraced among pension fund managers, who attempt to minimize a portfolio's liquidation risk by ensuring asset sales, interest and dividend payments correspond with expected payments to pension recipients. This stands in contrast to simpler strategies that attempt to maximize return without regard to withdrawal timing.
BREAKING DOWN 'Liability Matching'
Liability matching is growing in popularity among sophisticated financial advisers and wealthy individual clients, who are using multiple growth and withdrawal scenarios to ensure that adequate cash will be available when needed. The use of the Monte Carlo method of analysis, which uses a computer program to average the results of thousands of possible scenarios, has grown in its popularity as a time saving tool used to simplify a liability matching strategy.

Made this two days ago with delicious red haven peaches. Reading through the recipe, I was surprised by it calling for TWO tsp. of salt. That seemed like an awful lot to me so I cut it in half and glad I did. Also think the recipe is misleading in that it calls for more peaches by weight than will fit in the specified two cup measure. I used the weight measurement which was about 6 peaches before pitting/peeling. It seemed like too much but that could account for it taking extra time in the oven. I would not make it in a skillet again; I think it would have cooked more evenly in a pyrex baking dish. I did not have a 12 inch cast iron skillet but did have an anodized Calphalon 12 inch, which is what I used. It turned out alright but I have tastier recipes for peach cake/cobbler/crisp.flag if inappropriate
Delish!! Glad I read the other reviews first so I was prepared for increasing the baking time by another 30 min. or so. I splurged on the creme fraiche (much richer and creamier than sour cream) but used Trappist peach preserves rather than making the Lord Grey's recipe as mentioned in Bon Appetit. Think I used 7-8 large fresh, albeit very ripe, Georgia peaches. Husband raved and had a 2nd helping. Topped with Breyers Natural Vanilla ice cream. Yummo!!!!flag if inappropriate
Outstanding! I, too, used the sour cream instead. The issue though, for me, was how liquid it was during the baking process. I baked it for a full 30-40 minutes longer than called for in the recipe. It turned out great in the end, but I was a little freaked out at 50 minutes when it was peach soup in the middle.flag if inappropriate
Delicious. We also used sour cream. And almond extract.flag if inappropriate
Amazing! I too substituted sour cream for creme fraiche. Also added cinnamon to the batter and increased the preserves by half. It's more like a cake than a cobbler but either way it's delicious!!! Going to try it with raspberries next time. Worth a try for sure!flag if inappropriate
Yum Yum Yummy......I used sour cream instead of creme fraiche and threw in some blueberries for fun!!! Even the non peachies liked it.flag if inappropriate

My mare is "left handed" and 90% of the time lands on the left lead after a jump. When it comes to bending lines and tight turns that require a change to the right lead, I have a hard time asking for the right lead in the air/over the jump (which my trainer says is more desirable than swapping in the middle of the line, and obviously harder to do in a tight turn). I always look where I'm going (right) and use more right/inside rein, but I'm wondering what else I could be doing... any tips for setting up your horse to get the "right" (left or right) lead over a jump and still staying straight and balanced?

Cissy Houston has kept to herself since the Feb. 11 death of her world-famous daughter Whitney Houston.
The gospel and soul singer, 78, addresses Whitney's shocking passing and its aftermath in a TV interview with New Jersey-based My9's "10 O'Clock News" airing next Monday.
In the chat (conducted at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., where the "I Will Always Love You" singer's funeral was held), Cissy says her mourning process is far from over.

"I have my moments," she admits. "I'm not there yet. I don't think I'm any more courageous than anyone else. I am a true believer in God. If I could bring her back I would, but that's not possible."
Whitney was 48 years old when her body was found partially submerged in the bathtub of her hotel room at the Beverly Hilton. Autopsy results released one week ago determined that the singer's main cause of death was accidental drowning. The superstar was also suffering from the effects of heart disease, which were exacerbated by ongoing cocaine use. (Traces of cocaine were discovered in Houston's system, and the drug was also reportedly found in the hotel room.)

But Cissy says she can't hold herself responsible for her daughter's demise in her later years. "I know I did the best I could," she says. "I don't blame myself. I know I did the best I could for everything."
In the wake of Whitney's death, Cissy watched over Bobbi Kristina, Houston's daughter with ex Bobby Brown. Bobbi is now back in Atlanta.
"My children are my whole life," Cissy adds. "She was very special to me. . she was my only daughter, and a good one. Looked out for her family."

"I'm very proud of my daughter," says Cissy, who famously appeared in her daughter's "Greatest Love of All" video. "She accomplished a whole lot in the short time that she had here. ... She was a very wonderful person."
The full interview airs next Monday on My9's 10 O'Clock News."
