Pretty much every smartphone on the market today offers GPS. Apps of all kinds use that geo-locating ability to offer you the local weather forecast or help you find nearby restaurants.
There are also apps designed to help singles look for love, and the concept has been a hit — with men. The app Grindr, for gay men, has more than 4 million users worldwide. And straight guys are signing up for a bunch of dating apps, as well.

#20 DePauw Blanks Centre in SCAC Softball Winner's Bracket
April 23, 2011
April 23, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — DePauw, ranked 20th in Division III, scored two runs in the first, three in the second and four in the fourth to claim a 9-0 victory over Centre in the winner's bracket of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Softball Championship.
With the win, the Tigers improve to 24-7-1 on the season and advance to play Trinity later on Saturday. Centre falls to 14-22 with the loss and faces Rhodes in the loser's bracket.
In the first, Rachel MacBeth led off with a single to right centerfield, moved to second on a passed ball and took third on a base hit by Brianne Weeks. Jen Kosinski followed with a double to right center, scoring both runners to put the Tigers up, 2-0.
The Tigers added two more runs on Weeks' first homer of the season in the second. Kosinski then doubled to right center and scored on a single by Emma Minx.
Centre had a baserunner in the top of the third after Regina Sena doubled down the left field line. However, the Colonels were unable to advance her any further, leaving the score at 5-0.
The Colonels had another chance in the top of the fourth with runners on first and second in, but a fielder's choice prevented the team from plating any runs.
MacBeth led off the fourth with a base hit to right center and moved to second on Weeks' sacrifice bunt. Kosinski reached on a fielding error by the rightfielder with MacBeth scored on the play. Amy Hallett then delivered a three-run homer pushing DePauw's lead to 9-0.
DePauw totaled 11 hits in the contest, with MacBeth, Weeks, Kosinski, Minx and Holly Paris posting two hits each. Hallett led the offense with three RBI. Sena, Chelsea Benham and Katie Martello had one hit each for Centre.
Emily Bichler earned the win for the Tigers, posting her sixth shutout of the season. She allowed three hits and struck out one batter in five innings of work, improving to 22-7. Emily Landherr took the loss for Centre, falling to 5-11 on the year.

We purchased Robohelp 9 recently. Before purchasing we called support to make sure context help ("what's this" help) is available for 64-bit applications. They told us that it's there. When we installed Robohelp 9, context help library for 64-bit applications was not there. We are thinking of returning the product. Has anybody come across this issue?
Context sensitive help is supported in RH - that's when you're in your software & press F1 or click some help icon to launch your help and "land" at a specific page/place; are you talking about the old "What's This?" floating question mark type pop-up help? I haven't seen that used for quite a while - maybe Rick (Captiv8r) knows more about it?
I haven't seen anyone else report this and I don't have access to a 64 bit system to check. I think you may need to contact Adobe on this one.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
Hi all
Like Peter, I've not seen other reports. However, I'll temper this by saying that I'm on a 64 bit system and I do see an option for creating this type of help. I am aware of it and know how it works generically, but I've never created it and I am aware that it's fallen out of favor with Microsoft. So I am unsure of what "libraries" may be needed.
My own guess here is that support simply looked at RoboHelp and saw an ability to get at the What's this area of RoboHelp running on a 64 bit system and concluded that because it was there all was well.
Curiosity questiion here for alex-2012. Have you seen What's This help on any application running in 64 bit mode on a 64 bit system? Perhaps it's just a limitation of being in the 64 bit environment. I believe the ability for "What's This" is really governed by Microsoft. And since they have abandoned it, perhaps they never updated and distributed the supporting files needed on 64 bit machines. Just pondering that out loud a bit.
Cheers... Rick
Helpful and Handy Links RoboHelp Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form Begin learning RoboHelp HTML 7, 8 or 9 within the day! |
Hi Jeff
I'm a bit fuzzy on how exactly it's all said and done. Basically, I'm aware that a text file is created and used. What's This is simply blocks of text verbiage that is presented when folks click the question mark, then click the object on the dialog they are curious about.
I'm unsure if things are compiled out to a format similar to CHM or exactly how it's implemented. I've never created it myself. I only have the "college level" understanding of it.
Cheers... Rick
Helpful and Handy Links RoboHelp Wish Form/Bug Reporting Form Begin learning RoboHelp HTML 7, 8 or 9 within the day! |
My knowledge of this old technique is similar to Rick's. As Rick mentions this is very Microsoft-centric and it follows a format created back in the mid-1990's and development stopped. It uses a very non-conventional Text File for the actual topics. RoboHelp does have a What's This Composer whereby you run the application you are wanting to document and the Wizard helps you write the text topics and assigns Map IDs during the process. You find a bit of this
in a .CHM file which documents the What's This Composer along this install path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\RoboHTML\WhatsThs
Look for the WhatsThs.chm file which explains.
There are some details of the process in the online help:

Here is a URL for Rob Chandler's documentation of What's This help;
That said, I don't know the impact of 64-bitness on this :-)

Please return the ladders
May 06, 2010 12:00 am
Would the person who stole the two aluminum ladders from my deceased brother Jim Lowe's home please return them to the place where you found them. Our brother Jim Lowe may be gone, but that doesn't give you or anyone else the right to help themselves to anything they might see outside.
We would appreciate it if you would please return the ladders no questions asked.

They can also be found in the fully-searchable electronic version of the Proceedings, 1885-2007, currently accessible to Huguenot Society members through the Members' Area of this website.

Customizing SMF > Mod Requests
Facebook Connect for SMF?
I'm sorry, I'm still kind of new to this forum and have no idea where I should post this.
I tried searching the forum for Facebook connect with no real luck. They were mostly out of date topics.
But hopefully I can get some help here.
Is there like a plugin that can connect SMF with Facebook?
User don't have to register an account, they can just login in with their Facebook and it'll have their profile pictures, etc?
have you checked the mod site? most likely if there is a mod for 2.0 RC3 or newer you can use version emulation to install it.
Is this the Mod?
That people can just login to the forum with their facebook account istead of registering for one?
looks like that might be the mod, but it is not yet released to work with 2.0 so you would have to wait for it.
I'm using that mod on 2.0 and it's working great.

NAMI, the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals afflicted by mental illness and their family, friends and caregivers.
Its local affiliate, NAMI Bradley County, includes support groups as well as classes. The 30 local members includes a mixture of those with a mental illness as well as the family, friends and caregivers of people with long-term mental illness. Here they learn about mental illness, how to support each other and how to educate their communities for change.
NAMI Bradley County offer classes like With Hope In Mind, for families and friends of those with mental illness. Also the group helps coordinate other classes that provide education and practical suggestions for recovery. Michelle Randles, president of NAMI Bradley County, said most people join NAMI because they or someone in their lives — someone they love — has a mental illness and they are looking for information and hope, which they can receive through trained volunteers who have experienced the impact of mental illness.
"Our 'With Hope In Mind' program will provide you with timely information on the latest services in your community, new medications, treatments and coping skills," she said. "You will see how other families have coped and managed, and continue to have hope."
Amy Mills, treasurer of NAMI Bradley County, said, "In this program, you will learn you are not alone. You will walk through the various phases of awareness, acknowledgement and acceptance. Meeting others who have similar situations will help make your situation seem less unusual and extraordinary. Additionally, we will provide encouragement, reassurance and understanding."
The With Hope In Mind class concluded on July 31. It offered workshops covering immediate coping skills for dealing with the different cycles of each illness, including crisis planning, the major medical aspects of bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, major depression, schizophrenia and other anxieties.
"Last year we had about 25 to graduate from With Hope In Mind workshops," Randles said.
The workshops also feature detailed information on medications, information on community resources and services, treatment concepts and empathy for the person affected by mental illness, collaboration with professionals and rehabilitation and recovery based on hope and support.
Randles said in addition to classes, a bi-monthly support group meets on the second Tuesday of each month and fourth Thursday of each month at Hiwassee Mental Health's DAKODA Place, Peer Support Center at 940 South Ocoee St. in Cleveland.
At a recent NAMI Bradley County support group meeting Randles hosted guest speaker Dr. Carolyn Dobbins, therapist and author of "What a Life Can Be: One Therapists Take On Schizo-Affective Disorder." Different guest speakers will be featured at most Thursday meetings. Upcoming speakers will include a representative from the Dakoda Peer Support Center, a representative from the AIM Center of Chattanooga and representatives from Social Security Advocates, The Caring Place and Pine Ridge Treatment Center.
Previous speakers have included local counselors Emily Stone and Jacqueline Brown as well as David Webb from Hiwassee Mental Health Center.
"We're averaging 20 to 30 attending our bimonthly support group," Randles added. We'd like to welcome more families as well as those with mental illnesses. We have support groups for both."
According to Randles, With Hope In Mind is more than a program involving classes and support groups. She said it is the "coming together of many families and friends and primary caregivers to help one another deal more effectively with the impact and effects of mental illness."
When you join NAMI you automatically become a member at national, state and local levels. Members receive magazines and newsletters to keep them up-to-date on developments affecting persons with mental illness, as well as the latest news about research, treatment and notices about upcoming classes and conferences.
NAMI Bradley County is sponsored in part by a grant from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities. NAMI Tennessee is part of the national support and advocacy group, NAMI national. Founded in 1979, NAMI has more than 220,000 members nationally and affiliate groups in all 50 states, making it the country's largest organization dedicated to improving the lives of persons affected by serious mental illness.
Randles said NAMI Bradley County is dedicated to the improvement of the quality of life of all those whose lives are affected by every form of mental illness.
"We provide classes that help families cope with the effects of mental illness," Randles said. "Our mission is accomplished through mutual support, education and advocacy. We want to educate the public to dispel the myths and overcome stigmas associated with mental illness, and build support and understanding for the mentally ill to open opportunities for them in the community."
For further information on NAMI Bradley County and to sign up for the free course, contact Michelle Randles at 716-3726 or email: email@example.com. Future classes will be offered as the classes fill.

Cynthia E. Gonzalez-Merlo
Larry Nathan Roberts
Jan. 2, 1967 through Jan. 29, 2013
Loving and devoted wife of Carl Merlo of 27 years passed away into God's loving arms Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013 at the young age of 46.
Born in Woodland, Calif., Cynthia was the youngest of four daughters. She attended Holy Rosary School, graduated from Woodland High School and Heald Business College. Cynthia spent the last four years working as a friendly customer service representative at Bank of America, creating personal relationships with both coworkers and customers.
Shortly after graduation, Cynthia fell in love and married Carl, spending the majority of her life with him. They were blessed with daughter, Izabella, although she only graced the Earth for a short time; she became the flower of Cynthia's life. She focused her love and adoration toward nieces and nephews and their two Chihuahuas, Mocha and Toy.
Loved ones will remember her beautiful smile, generous heart, spirit of giving, devotions to loyalty and tolerance, passion for life, respect for others and keen sense of humor.
She was preceded in death by daughter, Izabella; devoted mother, Stella; sister, Liz; and father-in-law, Carl, Sr. All to be reunited in Heaven's eternal embrace.
Cynthia is survived by her father, Alfredo; sisters, Myriam, Heidi and Luicita; brother, Alfredo, Jr.; brothers-in-law, Arthur, Jorel and Mike; and her mother-in-law, Edith. She will be especially missed by loving nieces and nephews, Alisabeth, Edward, Joseph, Lola, Vanessa, Braxton and Bailey. Family and friends alike will miss her dearly and cherish the memory and legacies she left behind.
Memorial mass and celebration of life will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 120 N. Union St., Susanville, at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 16 for all who knew her to pay their respects and say their final goodbyes.
David Louis Preciado
David Louis Preciado passed away in Reno, Nev. on Sunday, Feb. 3, 2013. He was born in Susanville, Calif. on April 17, 1934 to Baudelia and Leopoldo Preciado.
After graduating from Lassen High School he enlisted in the military, Navy Branch, and served on the USS Ajax. Upon discharge, "Lou," affectionately called by his family and friends, moved to Reno where he lived for the rest of his life. Lou was employed by Sargents Custom Cabinets for most of his career. He was a custom cabinet maker and also did fine woodworking.
After retiring, Lou spent many hours in his workshop enjoying his hobby of woodworking and woodcarving. He made many one-of-a-kind specialty items for family and friends. Bishop Sterling from the Reno Catholic diocese was the recipient of a handmade wooden staff, especially designed and made for him by Lou. Lou also made wooden carved crosses for St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedral where he worshiped.
Lou's other hobby was the great outdoors which he loved from early in his youth. He was an avid fisherman and archer and shared these talents with his nieces, nephews, family and friends. He also enjoyed roaming the outdoors with his companion "Ausie," his dog. Another interest was volunteering his time to the Korean War Veterans Association. He built the trailer which is used in their annual Veteran's Day Parade and participated in many of their events.
David Louis Preciado is preceded in death by his mother and father, Baudelia and Leopoldo Preciado, and two sisters, Laura Nordan and Theresa Mayer.
He leaves behind son, Gregory Thomas, of Reno; brother, Leo Preciado, of Reno; and sister, Anna Bennett, of Westwood, Calif.; 16 nieces and nephews; and many great-nieces and great-nephews.
A memorial mass will be held at the St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedral, 310 West 2nd St. in Reno at 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15. Fellowship to follow.
Patrice Van Liew Williams
Patrice Van Liew Williams, of Overland Park, Kansas and Independence, Miss., passed away Jan. 27, 2013.
Patrice was born May 22, 1926, in Chicago, Ill., and was raised in Des Moines, Iowa. She was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church. Patrice was salutatorian in high school and earned a bachelor of science degree in commerce and finance from the University of Iowa, where she was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.
Patrice's first job out of college was secretary to the president of Drake University in Des Moines. When the former dean of women came back from a year's tour as a recreational director for the troops in Germany, Patrice applied for the same job and spent two years in search of adventure. In Germany she met her future husband, Edwin S. Williams (Lt. Col., USA, retired), who preceded her in death in 2007. She returned to Des Moines, where she worked at Better Homes and Gardens as secretary to the book editor and was later secretary to Tom Barber, of American Airlines. When Ed's tour of duty ended in Germany, he followed her to Des Moines and always claimed his red convertible with white leather interior finally convinced her to marry him.
After her marriage in June 1954, Patrice and Edwin lived in several duty stations, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Ft. Bliss, Texas, Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, Ft. Bragg, N.C. and Springfield, Va. Patrice was the ultimate officer's wife, hosting occasions that helped further Ed's career. She was an active volunteer as a hospital "Grey Lady," as well as many other volunteer activities through the years. She became involved in each community she joined, acting in plays, modeling and participating in the officers' wives clubs at each post. During these years she, as she often repeated, "had four children in four years, one month, two weeks and 10 days." Patrice was active and enjoyed playing golf and tennis, swimming and snow and water skiing.
She involved her whole family, including husband, Ed, and all four children, in a production of "The King and I" while in Ft. Leavenworth. She and her family finally settled in Overland Park when Ed retired from the Army in 1972, where she again joined a community theatre group, performing the lead in many plays for the Barn Players at Johnson County Community College. She earned her real estate license in 1970 and after years in the million dollar sales clubs at Hardin Stocktin, finally retired in 1997 from J.C. Nichols in Overland Park. She moved to Independence in 2007 where she resided at the Groves Retirement Community.
She is survived by four children, Kevin S. Williams and his wife, Ginny, of Independence, Eileen P. Abaian, and her husband, Jack, of Los Angeles, Deidre M. Brown, of Charleston, S.C. and Shayla J. Ashmore, of Susanville, Calif.; 14 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
A visitation was held at Carson Speaks Funeral Home at 1501 W. Lexington Ave., Independence, on Thursday, Jan. 31. A Celebration of Life service was held Friday, Feb. 1, at The Groves in Independence.
Genevieve "Jean" Vairetta
Genevieve "Jean" Vairetta, 90, of Susanville, died Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 in Reno, Nev. She was born Dec. 5, 1922 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Viewing was held on Feb. 11, 2013 in Richmond, Calif. and the funeral was held Feb. 12, 2013 in San Pablo, Calif. Wilson and Kratzer Mortuary, of Richmond, handled the funeral arrangements.

MARIETTA, Ga., 28-SEP-05 --
Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] delivered the 50th F/A-22 Raptor air dominance fighter to the U.S. Air Force today, marking another milestone in this revolutionary stealth aircraft program. The Raptor can dominate airspace anywhere around the globe, around the clock, and survive in contested airspace better than any other aircraft in the world.
Capt. Geoff Lohmiller, 27th Fighter Squadron, takes off from Dobbins ARB in Marietta, Ga. Sept. 28 flying the U.S. Air Force's 50th F/A-22 Raptor to Langley AFB, Va. Raptors are currently flying at three other bases; Edwards AFB, Calif., Nellis AFB, Nev., and Tyndall AFB, Fla. The F/A-22 is the World's only 5th Generation Stealth Fighter flying today, assuring air dominance for the next four decades. 50th Raptor Delivery - A (JPG, 886.8 KB High-Resolution Photo) 50th Raptor Delivery - B (JPG, 571.6 KB High-Resolution Photo) |
"Fifty Raptors – more than two full squadrons – are in the hands of U.S. Air Force men and women charged with ensuring total air dominance for our nation so that all soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen can do their jobs," said Larry Lawson, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics executive vice president and F/A-22 general manager. "Air dominance has been a vital element of every conflict since World War I. The Raptor is a leap forward in capability necessary to maintain our ability to own the high ground for the next four decades. We're proud to be a part of this achievement and look forward to continuing to provide the men and women defending our country an overwhelmingly effective weapon system."
This 50th F/A-22 will join Raptors flying today as part of the 1st Fighter Wing's 27th Fighter Squadron at Langley AFB, Va. Sixty-three of the 83 fighters now on contract have completed final assembly. All remaining aircraft scheduled for delivery to the Air Force in 2005 are on the flightline in Marietta undergoing flight tests and final preparation for delivery.
The United States fought hard to gain and maintain air superiority, and this unmatched success is evidence that not a single soldier, sailor, airmen or Marine on the ground has been lost to enemy airpower since the Korean War. The United States takes this achievement seriously, and the F/A-22 Raptor takes air superiority to a new level in the 21st Century by ensuring air dominance at a time when there are very real threats in the world.
The F/A-22 dominates any adversary through unmatched performance achieved through stealth, supercruise speed, agility and a complete view of the battlespace achieved with the advanced sensor suite embedded in the aircraft. The F/A-22 will enable combat commanders to change the way wars are fought over the next 40 years.
The F/A-22 Raptor entered full-rate production in April 2005 after Department of Defense approval, transitioning the Air Force's premier fighter program to a new level of confidence and maturity. Another major program milestone, Follow-On Test and Evaluation, is under way. This important testing, which explores additional combat capabilities of the aircraft, is the next step toward Initial Operational Capability slated for later this year.
In addition to Langley AFB, the F/A-22 Raptor is currently flying at three other bases across the United States:
• Testing is conducted at Edwards AFB, Calif.
• Tactics development is ongoing at Nellis AFB, Nev.
• A full squadron of Raptors is based at Tyndall AFB, Fla., for pilot and maintainer training.
The F/A-22 Raptor, the world's most advanced 5th generation fighter, is built by Lockheed Martin in partnership with Boeing and Pratt & Whitney. Parts and subsystems are provided by approximately 1,000 suppliers in 42 states. F/A-22 production takes place at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics facilities in Palmdale, Calif.; Meridian, Miss.; Marietta, Ga.; and Fort Worth, Texas, as well as at Boeing's plant in Seattle, Wash. Final assembly and initial flight testing of the Raptor occurs at the Marietta plant facilities.

Barbie® Puppy Play Park Doll & Playset. Barbie® knows puppies are cute, but they also require training. With this "backyard" set, Barbie® doll can train and play with her two puppies "outside." The motorized larger puppy has an innovative sound-recognition feature. Girls can press the lever on Barbie® doll's back to move her arms in a clapping motion and activate the clapping mechanism inside or clap their own hands; when the large puppy hears Barbie® doll clapping, it can come to her or go up or down the slide! The little puppy, also on wheels, is not electronic but can be connected to the bigger puppy. Once training is over, the two can play together on the slide for a nurturing moment. Both puppies feature bobble-heads and tails that really bring them to life.Set includes:

My daughter got this for her 5th birthday and loves it. She has invented many stories using it and cannot stop playing with it. I would say that the big dog does not always work with the Barbie clapping but does with my daughter doing the clapping herself. The clapping might be difficult for a younger child to coordinate as it needs to be reasonably loud. A fun Barbie toy.

My daughter bought this with her birthday gift card. I thought e dogs and Barbie were perfect. I'm a little disappointed with the poor quality of the fence and slide. Barbie accessories are not of the same quality as the Barbies. The old saying, " they are not made like they used to be".

Category: Matt Damon baby
New Nameberry Contest! Guess the Matt Damon Baby Name
Nearly two years ago we ran a nameberry contest asking you to guess the name of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner's second child; now the challenge is to come up with the name of Affleck pal Matt Damon and wife Luciana's fourth daughter, due to be born any minute.
Matt and Luciana have two daughters together, Isabella, age 4, and Gia Zavala, 2, in addition to Luciana's daughter from a previous marriage, Alexia. You tell us: What's the new Matt Damon baby name?
Will the new baby's name harmonize with her big sisters' stylish Latinate names, or strike out in a new direction? Will the new baby have a surname as a middle name, as do Gia (Zavala is a common Spanish last name) and Matt himself (his is Paige), or, like Isabella, no middle name at all?
To everyone who guessed early and chose a boy's name, before I heard the news that the baby is definitely a girl, you get another shot: I can tell who you are.
The person who guesses the new Matt Damon baby name correctly wins a full signed set of our baby name books, including The Baby Name Bible, Cool Names, Beyond Ava & Aiden and Cool Irish Names. If no one guesses the name exactly, we'll choose the winner by whoever comes closest, in the opinion of the judges aka Pam and Linda.
A bit about the names of the Damons' children: All three are rising in popularity and have a Latin feel, undoubtedly thanks to mom Luciana's Argentinean roots. Gia is a short form of such Italian names as Gianna, Giovanna, and Giada, first known in this country via 60s movie star Gia Scala, born Giovanna. Most recently, it's gained notoriety as the oldest stage-bound daughter of Real New Jersey Housewife Teresa Giudice.
Isabella, the Spanish and Italian version of Elizabeth, is both classic and mega-trendy – it's now the most popular name in the U.S. Alexia, a more modern offshoot of Alexandra/Alexandria, has also been steadily rising along with other members of the Alex family.
Those characteristics offer some good clues to what the couple's fourth baby might be named. Or do they?
Post your entries here; one to a customer. Since everyone started with first names only, let's keep going that way. Check and make sure someone hasn't already entered your guess, as the first one to claim a name will win the prize. Different spellings counted separately, so if someone has already guessed Sofia, you can guess Sophia. (But sorry, those two are already taken.)
Adding a middle name does not mean you get to reclaim a name — so if Sophia has already been guessed, you can't guess Sophia Rose. You also can't guess two names — i.e. "Sophia or Sofia" — or both guesses will be disqualified, though if you've made any of those mistakes before I wrote this — 7:19 a.m. EST on October 12 — you get to choose ONE of your "or" names or reguess if you've guessed a double name already guessed by someone else. The computer logs the time you post, so who gets what first is free from human error.
Phew! I better stop now or the rules will be longer than the entries. Everyone clear?
Entries accepted until the minute before the baby's name is announced.

What a disgrace to have so many of our state parks closed. What you have done is out priced them so high that only the high income can afford the parks. With the fuel cost as it is people will stay closer to their home areas. Open up these parks, we need them.

Basics, I've taken out my hard drive from a MacBook Pro with a legit copy of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard and iLife 2009 etc... it worked perfectly in the MacBook pro so don't ask why I took it out, I just did okay? Can I use VirtualBox to boot from this Mac hard drive? and run a sort of "Virtual MacBook Pro"?
theoretically yes... but in practice things don't always work as they "should" the positive is it's osx, built on unix - not so dependent on specific first-install drivers like windows. edit: that used to be the case freak, with ppc - but you don't hear much of ppc macs lately and intel ones are not hardware restricted like they were in the past. sure they are still limited, but not by the ppc vs x86 architecture anymore. i'm gonna say intel mac - am quite sure 10.6 doesn't work with ppc, they stopped at 10.4. so hardware will not prevent it. unfortunately i still can't say yes for sure - am definitely interested though.
i assumed he meant after loading the base OS, not as in replacing it. does it(virtualbox) not boot OS images?
he wants to use virtualbox to boot from a mac hdd. you cant boot from a hdd using virtualbox. you set virtualbox up on a host machine and then create virtual machines and then load up isos onto them. at least that is what i think he wanted.
ahhh misunderstood. but now my question: could he image the hard drive and run it as a virtual machine? the format of the image would matter of course, but are Virtual OS images and actual OS installs much different?
good discussion guys, i especially like the one about imaging the hard drive and then booting it i have a spare hard drive i can image it onto from my windows computer? if someone could explain how i could go about booting the image or what software to use i'd love to hear it, as this isn#'t just some random project... it's actually pretty important thanks fo rthe advice so far ^_^
well imaging a drive is creating a file, like a .zip, that holds everything the drive had on it. the thing is idk what image format to start with, and that alone could make or break the project. you should be searching google for p2v or physical-to-virtual http://canned-os.blogspot.com/2006/08/p2v-virtualizing-existing-os-install.html i don't actually know anything, just guessing and searching myself.
This is going to be harder to get working than you realize. As someone who years ago built a Hackintosh, it takes a lot of work to get a Mac OS X installation working from scratch on generic X86 hardware. It's probably just as difficult getting it to work in a virtual X86 environment. Maybe you should think about getting a copy of one of the pre-built OSX86 installations and install that on your machine? Even though this route would be less difficult, I have a feeling that it's still probably more than you want to mess with. http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Leopard (10.5) is PPC and Intel compatible. It required a 867+ Mhz processor. Snow Leopard (10.6) is Intel compatible, it has no PPC compatibility.
I'm pretty sure it's illegal to run OS X on anything but a mac. That being said- http://lifehacker.com/5583650/run-mac-os-x-in-virtualbox-on-windows (OSx86... not exactly OSX) Currently I run OS X in VMware using Empire EFI and it runs pretty swell. Unfortunately there isn't really much support for audio or video so it runs slow but it's incredibly useful for testing software/websites/etc. (especially when you're programming in Qt or SDL). I'm currently running VirtualBox version 3.2.8 and in the manual's section 188.8.131.52 there are detailed instructions on using physical HDDs. You'd have to either image the drive (which I'd recommend) or use your physical drive then combine some of the instructions I posted and use Empire EFI to get it to boot (and I'm betting it still won't work)... Not worth the trouble IMO
Sounds awesome, thanks I'll try to take a look ^_^ Sooo if I do image the drive, how do I go about making it boot in VirtualBox? And what software do I use to image it in the first place? I took the drive to an Apple store the other day and they booted into it using a MacBook Pro with an external hard disk cradle and it worked flawlessly, so the drive itself is fine... I just need a way of booting it THanks again for the advice so far guys, thanks will be handed out when everything is cushty ^_^
Well you need a .vdi file generated from a RAW disk. To accomplish this I'd use the linux utility "dd" which is incredibly useful when working with virtual machines and disks (but there are several alternatives). It's very powerful so be careful that you don't accidentally run it on the wrong drive (as it will delete it!!). Here's a small (incredibly small) tutorial: http://grantmcwilliams.com/tech/virtualization/virt-blog/184-convert-raw-disk-images-to-vdi-format The two commands: The location "/dev/hda" may be different when you're running linux and if you're not sure try running "df -h" to list your HDDs. If you don't have a system with linux installed you can use a live CD but you'll need two HDDs. One that is big enough to hold the "hda.img" and "hda.vdi" files and your original OS X HDD. If you're not at least casually acquainted with Linux I'd recommend getting help from one of your friend's who is. You'll may also need a copy of the Empire EFI disc image which you'll load into the virtual CD-ROM drive so that it is executed as the first boot device in the virtual machine. VirtualBox does have an option for EFI that may work but I've never tried it. As I said earlier, even if you do all the right things I sincerely doubt you'll get it running in VirtualBox.
Your sig rig will easily work as a Hackintosh, you just need to make a bootable usb stick or a cd with Chameleon. One of those can boot up your hard disk.
This thread for example might be a good start : http://osx86.co/f57/guide-retail-snow-leopard-dvd-install-for-g31m-t3672/ You can skip over parts about installation since you already have OS X on hard disk. You can find a lot more from Insanelymac forums.
Hm that one is for the Rev1.x of my board and I have Rev 2.0 Also it requires a functioning Mac which I don't have, I only have the hard drive (the laptop itself broke)
I think rev 2 will work just fine, if remember correctly then it's only onboard Lan connector that doesn't work. If you cannot make a bootable usb stick then this boot cd might work : http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/04/iboot-multibeast-install-mac-os-x-on.html

April 4, 2008 EPICENTERThailand 2006 © MSF Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis, a condition that causes blindness in patients with advanced HIV, has long been a neglected disease of the AIDS pandemic, leading to unnecessary cases of blindness, particularly in Southeast Asia. The full scale of the CMV retinitis problem in developing regions is still not known, but a recent paper published in PLoS Medicine, based on pilot studies from various MSF projects, found that CMV retinitis occurred in 23, 27, and 32 percent of patients with advanced HIV in Cambodia, Myanmar, and Thailand, respectively. Complications from CMV retinitis— most notably blindness—are preventable with screening programs and anti-CMV treatment. However, screening is unfortunately not routinely performed in many places where CMV retinitis is prevalent. The $10,273 price for a four-month course of treatment is prohibitive. The treatment, an oral medicine named valganciclovir produced solely by Hoffman-La Roche, is far too expensive for most of the patients with this disease. A negotiated price of $1,899 for four months of valganciclovir is still too expensive. Lower middle-income countries where CMV is a major problem, such as China and Thailand, are not eligible for this discounted price. Confronting a debilitating disease Confronting a Debilitating DiseaseDr. David Wilson, former MSF medical coordinator in Thailand, has worked on MSF HIV/AIDS projects throughout Asia. Back when MSF only provided palliative care for HIV/AIDS patients, it was common for very sick patients to go blind and die. In 2000, MSF first began using antiretrovirals (ARVs) to treat HIV/AIDS, and there was great hope that patients would go on to live normal lives, he said. But while ARVs helped restore patients' health, CMV infection and resulting blindness continued unchecked. Wilson recalls the very first patient MSF started on ARVs. "I remember her well for a very unfortunate reason," he says. "Within one month of starting treatment, she became blind from CMV. But since she was on ARV treatment, her health improved. She went on to live a long time, but completely blind." CMV poses a threat to a patient's sight once a person's immune system is weakened. Irreparable destruction of the entire retina can occur within weeks. Because CMV leads to blindness in patients with advanced HIV disease, treatment must consist of both CMV treatment for the infection and ARV therapy to restore immune function. If the CMV infection is not treated, it is not uncommon for a patient on ARVs to go blind just as they are becoming healthier. Patients most susceptible to CMV— those with low CD4 counts who are not being treated for HIV/AIDS—often live in impoverished, rural areas where blindness can have a devastating impact. "The particular kind of blindness caused by CMV is absolute, total blindness," Wilson says. "The patient cannot tell the difference between light and dark. Someone who is blind from cataracts, for example, can distinguish some things; they need some help, but often they can manage. Someone with CMV, when everything is totally black, it's very difficult for them to eat without someone actually feeding them, or to do very much of anything to help themselves." CMV is often asymptomatic in its earlier stages and can best be diagnosed through systematic screening of all at-risk patients. The best method to diagnose CMV—retinal examination using an indirect ophthalmoscope on fully dilated pupils—is not a fundamental part of HIV programs in the developing world. The high cost of valganciclovir poses another major obstacle for patients in resource-poor settings. An alternative treatment using intravenous ganciclovir requires twice-daily injections for two or three weeks, and then daily injections for another two to three months. Another method—intraocular injections of ganciclovir—is invasive and involves a doctor repeatedly jabbing patients with a needle in one or both infected eyes. Although both options are effective, oral valganciclovir therapy remains the least invasive option. Treatment out of reach for many Treatment Out of Reach for ManyThe preferred treatment, valganciclovir, comes in pill form and, unlike intraocular ganciclovir, can also treat potentially fatal forms of CMV that occur outside the eye. Roche of Basel, Switzerland, holds patents for valganciclovir in most countries around the world and is the only producer of the drug. Valganciclovir is marketed almost exclusively as a drug to prevent CMV infection in patients undergoing organ transplants in wealthy and middle income countries, a small but lucrative market. "This is a classic case of the vicious circle," said Dr. Tido von Schoen- Angerer, Director of MSF's Campaign for Access to Essential Medicines. "Because the price of the drug is so high, HIV programs aren't screening and therefore are not reporting large numbers of CMV patients. But since on paper there are so few patients, bringing down the price of this treatment and ensuring its availability has never been a priority." Even though Hoffman-La Roche has proposed a discounted price of $1,899 for least developed countries and sub- Saharan Africa, the offer remains expensive and excludes many countries, such as China and Thailand, where the CMV retinitis is most acute. This has forced difficult compromises. In Thailand, along with local partners, MSF has decided to use the sub-optimal intravenous formulation of ganciclovir, as well as intraocular injections. In China, MSF pays the full price for oral valganciclovir, which at $10,273, costs more than a Chinese economy car. "We have a strategy to make the diagnosis that's manageable" Wilson says. "But, once we have the diagnosis, we need the treatment, and the problem is that the treatment is at an impossible price." |

Im talking about a 1vs1.
Do I focus on her ulti? or on her?
I have no idea how to really counter an arachna?
ps: Arachnas web, does it charge power supply?
Waiting to hear from the masters of strategy.
This a 1v1 game or a 1v1 situation?
If its a 1v1 game, hopefully you chose a melee carry. Farm opposite lanes until you can get in arachnas face and permabash her to death.
If it's a 1v1 situation, focus on the spider, kill it, and try to fog arachna. Or carry a homecoming stone.
Homecoming stone is your best counter. No disables, just port away when she ults, and she'll never get a kill on ya.
Web doesn't charge power supply. Homecoming stone is a good counter.
Go either one of those two items, have your illusions + hero or minions + hero attack the spider. Arachna cries.
The best counters are definitely in this thread ^^^^ being weary of your pick can also help, when against Arachna, your attack speed and movement speed is going to be nil whenever you confront her (if she is decent that is) A tanky caster, who's spells do physical damage, usually does the trick. By caster, i mean a hero who primarily uses abilities to do their damage, not an auto attack. The reason you want physical damage is because Arachna's Harden Carapace negates almost all magic damage for a short time. A great hero pick to counter Arachna in my opinion is Pandamonium. He can do tons of damage, all physical, and you don't need to auto attack the entire time, simply flurry 4 times, flick, cannon ball, face smash, and flurry again for an easy kill. In my opinion, he is the 1v1 king. Also, a Void Tally :VoidTalisman: or even a :HomecomingStone: are cheap counters for her. I hope this helps!

defiler ult rapes arachna spider in less than a second.
i believe tort's impale no longer targets spiderlings anymore.
If you want to kill her, puzzlebox succ, if you want to make her useless in terms of a ganking situation, homecoming stone.
+ Hammer + Fireball +:Stormspirit: or :KuldrasSheepstick: + Fireball.
can do the job (maybe the best soler on hon besides arachna), her pure damage and arachna mid-low life will be crushed by succubi.
also :VoidTalisman: and :GeometersBane: are good items against her.
Besides items/normal lol heroes
I found always works good. Watch her webshot herself.
Use snotstorm to keep her down, use a bottle for mana and hp replenishment. From level 6, always keep a clean line with her if you're in range. If she ultis you, you just ulti her back. If you see the chance clean, you ulti her. After you ulti her you start off hellfire and mummy wall. If you were succesful in keeping her hp low, she will die to you regardless of whether she was able to launch her ulti. And until any opposing hero has his BKB, he/she can pretty much forget about ulting you when hellfire is on.
