Apple Mac OS X Server for Mountain Lion review
Playing god with an £14 app
DNS stress test
If you're just dabbling with Server rather than setting up a dedicated Mac for the task, there's one small ass-biting 'gotcha'. As standard, Server will set your Mac's DNS to 127.0.0.1, as you're now providing DNS to yourself as well as others. If you go back to using your test machine for regular work – and move Server to a dedicated Mac, as I did – your trusty sandbox will be left with no Internet access, which is unnerving to say the least. Hit up System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Advanced > DNS and remove the numeric localhost entry. Making dumb mistakes so you don't have to – no need to thank me.
File sharing includes iOS support
File Sharing (also on by default) is an evergreen server standard that's been made simpler over the last two major Server versions. You get AFP (Apple Filing Protocol – preferred for Mac users) and SMB (Server Message Block – more common on Windows and Linux), and the option to host data on the same Mac or on some other server. Sharepoints can also be set up with WebDAV for iOS users, which is the biggest new trick up this feature's sleeve.
FTP is off by default, but if you need this somewhat antiquated service it's just a click away. Me, I prefer to steer clear of serving FTP in favour of more secure protocols, but it tests out fine. Mail services are also off by default, and if you're new to this level of functionality take some time out with the on-line documentation before diving into this.
For old hands, I'm pleased to report that Mountain Lion Server offers the simplest, clearest implementation of mail serving that I've seen. The server-managed Time Machine backups for Mac clients is a blessing too and I'd recommend activating this – end users can ever be relied upon to manage their backups.
Also available is web site serving with optional PHP goodness and, for the seriously depraved, Python support as well. I'm using the former but not the latter; I never moved onto anything more hardcore than PHP. Redirects take just a few clicks to set up, although the option to redirect when users visit a URL matching a specific regular expression stopped me cold. Regex is awesome voodoo that makes my head hurt, so I've stuck to my traditional URL path-based redirect triggers.
Wiki support isn't new, but it's almost ridiculously easy to get a collaborative workgroup wiki up and running. Team communication FTW! The Users and Groups administration section is self-explanatory, along with the Status functions that keeps data freaks well fed with access logs, stats and the like.
Mmmh, stats – yum yum...
Indeed, if you're like me, Server's Status section will give you enough feedback to keep you happy and help pin down possible problems. If you want more detail you'll have to turn to dedicated analytics logging and comparison tools – take a bow, Google Analytics – but this is a useful everyday overview of the server's performance.

Excellent weather throughout the hunting season this year has provided favorable conditions for hunter success during the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Wildlife Division either-sex firearms deer hunts on public land.
The division schedules hunts on many state Wildlife Management Areas. This year 25,360 hunter efforts were tallied during these hunts on the 37 managed hunts that provided opportunities. Richard K. Yancey, Fort Polk, Dewey W. Wills, Sherburne and Boeuf WMAs attracted the greatest numbers of hunters with Richard K. Yancey drawing 5,128.
The total deer harvest for the 37 managed hunts was 2,651 which included 1,322 bucks and 1,329 does.
These opportunities are greatly anticipated by many hunters across the state, and out-of-state as well. It is a time when deer hunters and their families can enjoy the outdoors and have the opportunity to harvest deer of either-sex.
Wildlife Division personnel were able to collect valuable data during these hunts which help them manage each WMA's deer herd. WMA hunter efforts were consistent with past years while having a slightly higher success rate. To view the full list of WMAs and data collected, go to http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/hunting/deer/seasons and scroll down to the Documents section.
WMAs are distributed across the state and within a reasonable drive from any location. WMA habitats for these hunts range from upland hardwood and pine sites to bottomland hardwoods. To view a complete list of state WMAs, visit http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wma .

When an author writes a novel that's beloved by millions of fans, especially teenage fans, you can't blame him for wanting to do the movie adaptation just right. But Stephen Chbosky was insistent for more than a decade that his book The Perks of Being A Wallflower didn't just need the right director-- it needed him as a director. That was a pretty bold demand for an author, writer and director who only had one feature behind him, but years of patient waiting finally paid off: The Perks of Being A Wallflower, written and directed by Chbosky himself, is in theaters now and earning rave reviews.
But how did Chbosky manage to take his own delicate novel-- made up of letters written by our protagonist Charlie (Logan Lerman) to an anonymous friend?-- and turn it into a movie? And how did he find the right actors to make these kids come to life? I asked him about all of that, plus the spot-on advice he got from none other than John Malkovich, when I spoke to him by phone before the movie's premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. For more on the movie you can read my review, then check out my conversation with Chbosky below.
You've been wanting to make this into a movie pretty much since you wrote it. What made now the right time?
I needed time away from the book to do a proper adaptation and not just try to film the book. What made this the right time was that I finally got that distance. I saw this beautiful movie called Once, and I and been working Hollywood a long time. I saw that movie and thought, this small thing that touched me so deeply, and it just woke me up. "Steve, get back to your own personal stories." I just decided that the time had come. It was time to stop waiting and start doing it. Luckily I'd had enough time away. I had worked on my craft and art that helped me do a real adaptation.
I wrote the screenplay 100% on spec, a couple of years ago now. Then I got my producers, Leanne, Russ and John, and we got Emma, and then Logan came on board, and that's when we went to Summit. When we walked in, we already had a good part of the package together. But ultimately, Emma was what got it made.
Emma brings this world-weariness to Sam that's important to the character. Did her long career of acting give her that? Is that something you saw in her?
Absolutely. I saw her in Goblet of Fire, there's a screen between her and Daniel Radcliffe, on the steps. She was so moving. I stopped, I thought "This girl is special." And I recognized that she got better every movie. When I met her in New York, I recognized in her a kindred spirit, but more than that there was this world weariness. She had grown up in the eye of the hurricane. I thought, there is no better den mother to the island of misfit toys than that person. What I love about Emma, and what she brings to Sam-- she's a very generous person. At the end of the night, they would stay up all night-- they're kids and they have kid energy, and God bless them-- and she would make beans on toast for everybody. And she would take care of people .That's what she does, and that's what Sam does. I love that girl. She's a really special person.
As you get further away from having written the book and being a teenager, those emotions must feel further away. Do you have to go through those teenage emotions again to make this? How do make yourself feel the way Charlie does?
It all came down to the song "Asleep." There's a part at the end where Morrissey sings "There's another world, there's a better world, there must be." I remember being 19 and feeling very lost, and clinging to the hope of those lines. I know the song is about suicide, but those lines wren't to me. I had to remember a time when it took 3 lines of a song to give me hope. I went back and i remembered my first kiss and how my heart was pounding through my chest. I respect all of those moments for what they are. What happens for a lot of adults, they date a lot of people in college and in their 20s, and once they get settled down, everything else feels like prologue. That sense of anything can happen, which is exciting, it's also terrifying. That took more time than anything.
Do you also have to help the actors tap into that?
They got it completely. I learned on them. They felt that the movie was celebrating what they were going through. When we shot the film, Ezra was 18, Logan I believe was 19. The girls at the very latest were i their early 20s, They tapped right into it. I also love my cast so much, I think they're great. I twas so wonderful to be able to throw 7 actors in a room and say, "OK, let's have a truth or dare party." You can't script every line, you can't script camaraderies. Just to throw those kids in a room and let them go was a thrill, every time.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — It's football Sunday, so why not a quick stop outside the home of the Green Bay Packers before a hectic day of campaigning for Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan?
The Wisconsin congressman and his family joined up with a tailgating party across the street from Lambeau Field. Two of running mate Mitt Romney's five sons, Josh and Matt, were there along with four of Romney's grandchildren.
Ryan was wearing yellow and green striped ties and a Packers jacket. He didn't make formal remarks during the 10-minute visit and didn't go inside the stadium, where the Packers were taking on the Arizona Cardinals in the afternoon.
Ryan is heading to Ohio, Minnesota and Colorado for campaign rallies.
Last month Ryan dropped in on practice at the Cleveland Browns facility.

Curtis Andres, a Gothenburg High School senior, will receive an Eagle Scout Award.
Andres will be presented with scouting's high honor Sunday at the Cozad Elks Club.
Andres is the son of Sharon and Bill Andres of Cozad and the grandson of Shirley Booth and the late James Booth of Brady, and Judy and Morrie Andres of Cozad.
He's a member of Troop 1189 which is chartered by the Cozad Elks Club. His scoutmaster is Greg Rasmussen.
To achieve the rank of Eagle Scout, Andres had to earn 21 merit badges and show leadership by planning, developing and completing a community service project.
For his project, he erected three flagpoles at the Welcome Garden on the corner of 7th Street and Avenue E in Cozad.
There, the Cozad Tourism Board and Chamber of Commerce of Cozad can display the United States flag, the Nebraska flag and the P.O.W. flag.
Andres researched flagpoles, obtained permits, approval, donations of funds and planned and erected the flagpoles with help from members of Troops 1189 of Cozad and 177 of Gothenburg and his family.
During his seven years with his troop, Andres has served as senior patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader, patrol leader and instructor.
He has also worked three years on staff at Boy Scout Camp Hansen at Kirwin, KS, as a trail-to-eagle counselor for younger scouts.

Andres has also been on the honor roll and competed at a State FFA Convention in welding. He has also received awards at district music contest.
In addition to scouting, Andres is involved in the Gothenburg Evangelical Free Church senior high youth group and Dare to Share.
Andres plans to pursue a college career in auto technology after graduation.
His hobbies include working on cars, soccer and hunting.
The rank of Eagle is earned by less than 4% of all youth who join Boy Scouts.

Move to afternoons
John Habib's City Sports: Memorial principal explains football time changesBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 04. 2013 11:41PM
Is it safe to attend varsity football games at Manchester Memorial High's Chabot-McDonough Field?
It's a reasonable question, considering that three times in two years Memorial principal Arthur Adamakos has switched a game originally scheduled for Friday at 7 p.m. to a daytime start.
Both this season and last, Adamakos moved a scheduled Friday-night home game against city rival Central to Saturday afternoon. This week, he moved kick-off for Friday's game against Pinkerton Academy of Derry from 7 to 4 p.m.
"Absolutely, it's safe," Adamakos said of the environment at Chabot-McDonough. "If it weren't we wouldn't have the game there. The time change was at the request of Pinkerton Academy. They said they wanted to move it, and we said 'No problem.'"
Adamakos, Pinkerton athletics director Tim Powers and Memorial athletics coordinator Jack Quirk all declined to say why Pinkerton made the request, but Adamakos said the game would have remained scheduled for 7 p.m. if circumstances hadn't made a time change advantageous for all concerned.
Chabot-McDonough usually is reserved for varsity soccer games on Friday afternoon, Adamakos said, but this week the Crusaders' girls' and boys' teams were both scheduled to play on Saturday instead. On top of that, he added, Friday night's weather forecast called for rain, with the heaviest downpours expected around 8 p.m.
So why play Pinkerton Friday afternoon rather than Saturday? SATs and soccer, Adamakos said. SATs run into early afternoon, and the girls' soccer team has a game scheduled for 3 p.m.
The rescheduling of the Central games is another matter, Adamakos conceded.
"When we have intra-city games at night, people who are not students — often young people who are recent graduates — tend to go and be disruptive," he said. "The football team would rather play at night, but I've felt it's in the best interest of the people who are going to go to the game anyway — the athletes, the band members, the real fans — to play those (intra-city) games during the day. And since we've done that, we have had zero issues."
Memorial football coach Peter Colcord reluctantly agreed.
"When you have Memorial and Central playing a night game, some things can get out of hand," Colcord said. "At Memorial, we just don't have enough administrators to patrol the grounds. Arthur has always felt it's easier to patrol the grounds during the daytime hours. I would prefer we play Central at night, but I can't blame Arthur for moving the games. Safety issues always come first."
Ward 9 school board member Arthur Beaudry said it's safe to attend night games at Memorial, but added that he supports Adamakos whenever the principal deems it necessary to move a game to an afternoon start.
"Safety of students and fans is paramount," Beaudry said. "Internally, I'm sure Arthur and the entire administration staff at Memorial had good reasons to switch the games."
Beaudry acknowledged there are pockets around Chabot-McDonough Field, particularly between the high school and Southside Middle School, where people looking for trouble can congregate, especially in areas where it's dark and out of sight from the general public.
"Fights, drinking, you name it — things can happen at night," said Beaudry. "I can assure you if Central was hosting Memorial this year at Gill Stadium on Friday night, and if Central administrators were concerned about safety issues, they would have switched the game to Saturday afternoon, as well."
Beaudry has been a supporter of moving all city football games to daylight starting times.
"I have, but for different reasons," he said. "Every time we flick the light switch before 8 o'clock, we're paying $1,000 in surcharge fees. I support day games for budgetary reasons. But I can understand the long tradition Manchester has of playing night games, too."
Beaudry said having Central and Memorial play football during the daytime in years past would have been met with protest and resistance.
"Today we live in a different era, with social media being the way it is," said Beaudry. "The city and the schools have an obligation of making sure our sporting events are safe for the public. We certainly don't want to be liable for something that happens which we could have controlled ahead of time."
From this corner, I have no problem with Adamakos moving night games for crowd-control reasons. The landscape surrounding Memorial is difficult to patrol.
That said, Memorial-Central football games should be played at night. If Adamakos deems the game unsafe to play at Chabot-Memorial Field, move it to Gill Stadium. The players (and school bands) should have the opportunity to experience a city rivalry game under the lights and create all the memories that come from that experience.

A new study published this week in the Canadian Medical Association Journal suggests that babies born by cesarean section have fewer "good" bacteria in their digestive tract, reports HealthDay.
The study also found that babies who were formula-fed or fed a combination of breast milk and formula, had different intestinal microbiota from exclusively breast-fed babies.
Plus: Combining Breast and Bottle Feeding
With the number of C-section births at record highs — nearly one-third of all U.S. babies are born by cesarean — more research is still needed to see how this will affect the health of these children in the long run.
"We speculate that our observations may lead to poor health in later life," said study senior author Anita Kozyrskyj.

"Kim, long story short: I have a customer that has a large loan on his farm with annual payments that are due right now. Payments depend on the sale of crops. He has all his wheat cut and in storage. He tells me he wants to wait to see if the price goes up as harvest moves north into Kansas. You are the expert, if he holds off a couple weeks what is the likelihood that the price will increase on his stored wheat? I would like the payments to be made simply because they will be past due. Can you give me your opinion on this?"
How would you answer this email? The following is my answer.
"In an efficient market, and the wheat market is mostly efficient, the odds of wheat prices going up are 50/50. However, wheat prices have been on a downtrend since the first of February. Wheat production continues to come in slightly higher than expected. 2013 corn conditions continue to improve, which implies relatively large U.S. corn production. The Oklahoma wheat basis is about 40 cents above average. World wheat production is projected to be record or near record. All these factors have negative implications for price. Therefore, it is my opinion that over the next few weeks we have a 65 percent chance that wheat prices will decline compared to a 35 percent chance that they will increase.
My philosophy is: 'If you can't afford to sell wheat for $6.25, you had better sell it now for $6.65.' Or put another way, 'which is going to hurt you worse, not selling wheat for $6.65 and having to sell it for $6.25 or selling it for $6.65 and not having the opportunity to sell it for $7.25?'
The question is not 'what are wheat prices going to do?' It is, 'what risk can you afford to take?' My suggestion to producers has been to sell 50 percent of their production now and sell the last 50 percent in Sept/Oct and Nov/Dec."
Cash wheat prices have declined from $8 in late January to about $6.80 at this writing (note about 15 cents above when I replied to the email). Since last January, the KC Red Wheat September wheat contract price has declined from $8.72 to $6.91. The cash price declined about $1.40, while futures prices declined $1.81. The KC September basis increased 41 cents.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
Corn stocks are extremely tight, which has resulted in relatively strong feed demand for wheat. If and when a 13.7 billion-bushel corn crop is harvested, the feed market will no longer need wheat for feed, and the wheat basis will probably decline to normal levels. This possibility implies about a 40-cent decline in cash prices due to a declining basis.
To store wheat in commercial storage costs about 6 cents per bushels per month (4 cents storage and 2 cents interest). Total costs to store wheat until December 1 is about 30 cents per bushel.
If the basis trends back to normal (40 cents) and storage and interest costs are 30 cents, the KC December wheat contract price will have to increase 70 cents just to keep the net price equal to the current price. An alternative to storing wheat is to sell all the wheat and replace all or part of the wheat with KC December wheat call option contracts.
"At-the-money" KC December wheat call option premiums are about 40 cents per bushel or $2,000 per 5,000 bushels contract. Of the 40 cents, 30 cents would be paid for by not paying the 30-cent storage and interest. If prices decline, the net loss would be $500 per 5,000 bushels or 10 cents per bushel.
No perfect decisions are possible because price movements can't be predicted. Managers should have written plans and the discipline to follow the plan. Only store wheat when you can afford lower prices.

The birth of a Sumatran Rhino in Indonesia, just a few weeks after the start of The International Year of the Rhino, has given extra hope for the conservation of this threatened species.
Born on Saturday 23 June at Indonesia's Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary, Andatu is the first Sumatran Rhino (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) to be born in captivity in Indonesia and only the fifth born in captivity worldwide. Listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, this breeding success is a significant event in the conservation of the Sumatran Rhino.
The mother, Ratu, and her newborn son will be watched closely by rhino specialists over the coming weeks to ensure their health and safety.

Tough motivator Mark Wahlberg
Mark Wahlberg will threaten to ''crack heads open'' to get work done.
The 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' actor enjoys working behind the scenes as a producer and says he is good at the job because he understands how to motivate different groups of people.
He said: ''I've got people where positive encouragement is going to get the best results and other people where I have to threaten to crack their head open.''
The 42-year-old star began his production career with TV show 'Entourage' and says he made the change because he wanted to be in control and have the perfect projects to work on.
He explained: ''I got tired of waiting for the right project to drop on to my desk.
''If I don't do it, nobody else is going to do it, and if I don't tell everybody how to do it, it's not going to be done the right way.''
Though Mark does a lot of preparation for his acting roles, he insists he turns in a performance with ''no great effort''.
He told Britain's GQ magazine: ''Everyone's different. I know some actors have their whole routine where they don't want anybody around them or they need to play music or whatever, but the James Cagney philosophy always made more sense to me. Prepare for the part. Be the part. And with no great effort, play the part.
''There were times on the set of 'Lone Survivor' where I'd be covered in blood, and I'd just be throwing a football around, playing games before a take and then the actor would yell, 'Action' and I'd do what I do.''

Google and Microsoft in trading places shocker
One goes closed. The other goes open
Open...and Shut Microsoft and Google seem to be trading wardrobes of late. Microsoft used to be easy to pick out: black-hat-wearing-bad-guy constantly in hot water with global antitrust authorities and married to proprietary software and not-so-open standards.
Google donned a white hat, talked a lot about openness, and was loved everyone (except Facebook and Microsoft).
While Google continues to talk up the value of openness, it is Microsoft that increasingly links rhetoric to reality, with Google closing off code to protect its interests.
I'm so confused!
Google has taken Microsoft's place as global antitrust authorities' whipping boy. Google strenuously insists upon calling Android open source, but then closes off the code for pragmatic reasons. While I support those reasons, Microsoft has its own pragmatic reasons for keeping Windows and Office closed: billions in profit every quarter. And Google, despite articulating its WebM video codec and the W3C's HTML5 as the future of video and the web just released its new movie rental service based on Adobe's proprietary Flash player.
Yes, there are good, pragmatic reasons Google chose to stick with Flash for the service. But Google increasingly has good reasons for not being as open as it likes to sound.
Not that Microsoft is a paragon of openness and virtue, either.
Old habits die hard at Microsoft. It continues to harass open-source competition with lawsuits or threats of lawsuits. And a significant amount of the Google-is-evil antitrust lobby is being funded and fueled by Microsoft. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer is unlikely to be sainted any time soon.
But there are clear signs that Microsoft is evolving as it struggles to catch up with the 21st Century.
Take the web. Microsoft lumbered into the web app world with its tried-and-once-true playbook: push the world to adopt Silverlight and lock a generation of developers into Microsoft tools, then crank up the cash register and collect license fees. The problem is that web developers had already voted with their downloads and were snubbing Adobe Flex and Silverlight in favor of open standards like HTML5 and Javascript.
Rather than fight the trend, Microsoft adopted it, and has been an active proponent of HTML5 ever since - though not without some hesitation, it should be noted. Why? Because an open web is very much in Microsoft's interests, as The Register's Tim Anderson explains:
[Microsoft] realizes it must have a broad-reach platform alongside Windows to succeed in the diverse world of mobile devices and increasing numbers of Mac computers, and that its efforts with .NET and Silverlight are not able to be that broad-reach platform.
"Hah!" You say, "Microsoft is only open when it suits the company's interests!" Yes, but that's true of every company. Some just happen to have business models that benefit from open code, while Microsoft, until now, has not. The web is a game changer, and Microsoft's game is changing.
Take Microsoft's Skype acquisition. In the past, Microsoft would buy a company and try to monetize its assets through license fees. But in the case of Skype, as ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley posits, advertising may well be the revenue engine.
The more Microsoft finds revenue outside software, and the more Google struggles with the complexities of shipping code that runs on devices, not in the cloud, the harder it will become to pigeon-hole Microsoft as closed/black hat and Google as open/white hat.
And so we see Microsoft partnering in new markets even as Google goes it alone. Expect more of the same. ®

NEW YORK (AP) — Hundreds gathered at a New York City church Saturday for an emotional, but peaceful, funeral for a 16-year-old boy whose death in a police shooting sparked a week of protests and a small riot.
Kimani Gray was shot seven times on March 9 during an encounter with two plainclothes police officers, who said the teen pulled a gun as they approached him on a street in Brooklyn. Police said a .38 caliber revolver was found at the scene.
The teen's funeral, at a Roman Catholic church not far from where he was killed, drew relatives, friends, and many mourners who had no connection to the teen or his family except a shared sadness over his death. Many mourners wore clothing or carried laminated cards bearing Gray's picture.
"He was funny. And he always knew how to put a smile on my face," said Sidonie Smith, a childhood friend. "Anytime somebody was in a bad mood, he always knew how to make them happy."
The emotion of the service was too much for Gray's father, who fled the church as the choir sang "Amazing Grace." Gray's mother sobbed during the memorial.
The NYPD deployed a large security force to the area around the church during the service, but there was no repeat of the disturbances that came in the days after the shooting.
The killing touched off demonstrations by residents who questioned the police account of the shooting and said they were fed up with aggressive law-enforcement actions, including a tactic known as "stop and frisk," where officers routinely detain and question young black men.
Dozens were arrested at one demonstration. At another, a group of youths broke off, marauded through a commercial district and trashed a produce market.
Saturday's funeral took place just as the police department is defending itself against a civil rights lawsuit, claiming that the "stop and frisk" program has resulted in mass harassment of minorities by officers under pressure from commanders to make arrests in high-crime areas.
Police officials and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg have defended the program as an effective way of taking guns off the street.

Do you have some .wav files that you want to convert to ALAC files so you can listen to them on your phone? Maybe you can only get your favorite song or lecture in the wav format. Fortunately for you, we've put together a simple guide for converting WAV files into ALAC. With WAV to ALAC file converter, you can turn those WAV files into ALACs and be on your way. WAV to ALAC Converter offers you an easy and fast way to convert WAV to ALAC audio with high quality. Audio Transcoder is an advanced WAV to ALAC Converter and Audio CD Ripper with support of various popular audio formats and encoders. It currently converts between MP3, MP2, M4A/M4B/MP4/M4R/ALAC, AIFF, WMA, AC3, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, AAC, WAV and APE formats. People often search for "wav to alac converter online" or "how to convert wav to alac online" without realizing that uncompressed audio files are large in size and by the time you upload, convert and download the files you are better off downloading WAV to ALAC converter on your PC and perform convention locally = 0 second waiting for uploading and downloading. With WAV to ALAC Converter you easily rip your audio CDs to ALAC, FLAC or WMA files for use with your hardware player or convert files that do not play with other audio software. You can even convert whole music libraries retaining the folder and filename structure. The integrated CD ripper supports the CDDB/freedb online CD database. It will automatically query song information and write it to ID3v2 or other title information tags. Have any questions regarding WAV to ALAC Converter? See the below Frequently Asked Questions.
Free download WAV to ALAC Converter, install it and launch it. Then follow the three steps to convert WAV to ALAC.
The first step is to select the files to convert wav to alac. Run WAV to ALAC Convertor and use the Folder Explorer to browse to the files you want to convert. Then select the file in the File List, drag it to the Drop Zone and drop it there. Optionally, the WAV to ALAC Converter allows you to edit the audio tags of any selected file in the Drop Zone.
Once the files are selected, the next step is to select the output settings in WAV to ALAC Converter.
The second step is to select the output settings. To begin, select the folder to save the output file to and choose the action to be executed if the output file already exists - create a new file, overwrite or skip the existing file.
You can also set the WAV to ALAC Converter to delete a source file after conversion and preserve the the original folder structure, when doing batch conversion.
Finally, you should select the output format and audio quality. In the ALAC dialog box, choose the format settings for the final ALAC files. Depending on quality you need, select the bitrate of the file, sample rate and the number of channels. You will probably lose some audio content if you choose the mono option. You can choose what sample rate you want to use. 44.1 kHz (or 44100 Hz) is the sample rate used by audio CDs. Less than that and you'll start to hear the loss in quality.
Once the output settings are customized, you go to the final step - wav to alac conversion.
Click Convert button to start to convert WAV to ALAC or other audio format you desired. A conversion dialog will appear to show the progress of wav to alac conversion. If you want to stop the process, please click Stop button. After the conversion, you can click the Output Folder button to get the converted files and transfer to your iPod, iPad, iPhone, mp3 player or hard driver.
During the turning wav into alac, you can change the priority of the process or set an automatic event to be executed when the conversion is over. After the conversion of wav to alac has finished, you can find the alac files in the output folder you specified.

A: Waveform Audio File Format (WAVE, or more commonly known as WAV due to its filename extension)(rarely, Audio for Windows) files are audio files playable via multimedia playback software such as Windows Media Player and other software available for your operating system. These files contain any sounds such as sound effects, music or spoken words. WAV files are large in size and with the advent of MP3 and MP4 WAV files are becoming less popular and less common. They were created and developed by IBM and Microsoft for storing an audio bitstream on PCs, but unlike MP3 and MP4 the WAV file format does not use a form of lossy compression so file sizes are therefore much bigger and now less popular. It is an application of the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF)bitstream format method for storing data in "chunks", and thus is also close to the 8SVX and the AIFF format used on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio. Using the .WAV file extension, 8- or 16-bit samples can be taken at rates of 11,025 Hz, 22,050 Hz and 44,100 Hz. The highest quality being th 16-bit at 44,100 HZ, this highest level is the sampling rate of an audio CD and uses 88KB of storage per second. The usual bitstream encoding is the linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) format. All general sounds in Windows, such as when you log in, are in the .WAV format. It is the main format used on Windows systems for raw and typically uncompressed audio.

A: ALAC Apple Lossless, also known as Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC), or Apple Lossless Encoder (ALE), is an audio coding format, and its reference audio codec implementation, developed by by Apple Inc. for lossless data compression of digital music and playback on iTunes and QuickTime and on Apple iOS devices, including the iPhone, iPad and iPods. The ALAC data compression method is "lossless", meaning it reduces the size of audio files with no loss of information. Apple Lossless supports up to 8 channels of audio at 16, 20, 24 and 32 bit depth with a maximum sample rate of 384kHz. Apple Lossless data is stored within an MP4 container with the filename extension .m4a. This extension is also used by Apple for lossy AAC audio data in an MP4 container (same container, different audio encoding). However, Apple Lossless is not a variant of AAC (which is a lossy format), but rather a distinct lossless format that uses linear prediction similar to other lossless codecs. Its compression isn't quite as efficient as FLAC, so your files may be a bit bigger, but it's fully supported by iTunes and iOS (while FLAC is not). These other lossless codecs, such as FLAC and Shorten, are not natively supported by Apple's iTunes software (either the Mac OS or Windows versions) or by iOS devices, so users of iTunes software who want to use a lossless format which allows the addition of metadata (unlike WAV/AIFF or other PCM-type formats, where metadata is usually ignored) have to use ALAC. All current iOS devices can play ALAC–encoded files. ALAC also does not use any DRM scheme; but by the nature of the MP4 container, it is feasible that DRM could be applied to ALAC much in the same way it is applied to files in other QuickTime containers. According to Apple, audio files compressed with its lossless codec will use up "about half the storage space" that the uncompressed data would require. Testers using a selection of music have found that compressed files are about 40% to 60% the size of the originals depending on the kind of music, which is similar to other lossless formats. Furthermore, compared to some other formats, it is not as difficult to decode, making it practical for a limited-power device, such as older iOS devices. Partly because of the use of an MP4 container, Apple Lossless does not contain integrated error checking. When decoded, the ALAC stream is identical to the original uncompressed audio file, bit-for-bit. The Apple Lossless Audio Codec sources are available under the Apache license.

China Glaze Anchors Away (Part 1)
China Glaze Anchors Away Collection
China Glaze Anchors Away: Part 1
China Glaze's nautical-inspired collection consists of twelve new shades, and this post features these six: Ahoy! (delightfully intense pink that flashes with reflective glitter), Below Deck (flirty mix of taupe and violet), First Mate (sophisticated and rich navy creme), Hey Sailor (vibrant creme red), Knotty (micro-particle beige shimmer), and Life Preserver (highly pigmented and luxurious poppy creme).
Edited @ 7:12 AM PST: Hey Sailor images should show now!
- Ahoy! is raspberry pink with flecks of subtle gold and ruby sparkle. In the promo photos, this shade looked a lot like Strawberry Fields, but Ahoy! is much, much darker; redder, too, and the gold is less noticeable. I used three coats.
- Below Deck is a grayed mauve with a cream finish. I used two coats. It is a shade darker and more neutral than MAC Cool Reserve.
- First Mate is a rich, luxurious navy blue cream. I did two coats, but you could almost get away with one–it's that pigmented. I would compare First Mate to Rescue Beauty Lounge's Dead Calm, which is perhaps only a smidgen darker.
- Hey Sailor is a poppy red cream with lovely pigmentation. Like First Mate, one coat is nearly pigmented enough, though I did two. Zoya's Maura is similar, slightly less red, though.
- Knotty is a pale, yellowed, champagne beige with light champagne shimmer. With three coats, there is still some nail line showing, but I get the feeling this wasn't designed to be 100% opaque. Not quite sure of a dupe for this one, though I wouldn't go as far as saying this is unique, either.
- Life Preserver is a brightened, rusted orange cream. I used two coats for an opaque result. I couldn't think of just the right dupe for this shade–the rusted/burnt feeling makes it seem different compared to other orange creams I own.
Though the formula on these seemed to be a bit thicker than average for China Glaze, application was still even and smooth. I ended up with at least two coats on all of these, though some I did three with. China Glaze is one of my personal favorite brands, because of their color and finish range–I really feel like they bring out a little something for everyone in each of their seasonal collections. China Glaze polishes last a good week on me with just minor tip wear by day seven.
If you want to know more about how products are evaluated, read out Rating System FAQ! 🙂
- Product: 28/30
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 4/5
- Packaging: 4/5
FINAL THOUGHTS: From this set, I really loved Ahoy! and First Mate–they're bold, beautiful on, and apply flawlessly.

In what is to be its final year as a band, 2011 has already seen DC*B nominated for a Grammy®. The band let loose during its live performances so far this year, playing sets in excess of two hours of lesser-known material in smaller, more intimate venues. No matter what size venue the band plays, their collection of Sennheiser microphones and wireless systems helps the band's sound remain true –- both to themselves and hundreds of thousands of fans.
Sennheiser Microphones – from Alpha to Omega
The band relies primarily on the Sennheiser 900 series microphones – both on instruments and vocals. Rob Albert, tour operations manager for DC*B, appreciates not only their durability, but more importantly their sound: "Our live package consists primarily of the Sennheiser e 901, e 902, e 904, e 905, 906, e 914s, e 935 and e 965 wired microphones, but we also use the MD 421 II and the MD 441. The tone on everything is just great."
"We work with professionals who are very on top of their tone. With all these mics, we are getting exactly what the guys are putting out and people notice," Albert remarks. This also applies to guitar cabinets -– including the cabinet for the violin –- on which they use Sennheiser e 906s, which Albert says delivers an accurate representation of what is coming out the amplifiers—in both in-ear mixes and through the main PA system. On vocals, the entire band is using e 935s. "Each of the vocalists is comfortable with these, and they help deliver overall consistency to the mix," he says.
Counting on Sennheiser wireless, night after night
Counting on Sennheiser wireless, night after night
Not only does DC*B rely on a robust microphone package from Sennheiser, but the band also counts on Sennheiser wireless personal monitor systems. "A couple of years ago, we went from another brand of transmitters/receivers into the Sennheiser G2 series and there was a huge improvement in tonal quality and reception," Albert recalls. "Just in the last few months, we moved up to the G3 series and the guys have been really happy -- they get the gain and the clarity they want each and every night. We've never had a problem with RF and we've been able to find frequencies for everybody.
The quality and durability of Sennheiser has made fans out of everyone in the DC*B. "Night after night, when we pull a microphone or IEM package out, we know it's going to work and we know what it's going to sound like," Albert concludes. "Night after night the stuff works and it sounds exactly like it supposed to and we are happy with it. Everything we are using -- microphone or RF or hardwired -- is all Sennheiser because we believe in it and trust it."

I had dinner with Wes Dumey and Pam Shaw from Tampa last night to share some lessons learned and hear what they had in mind for their implementation. They made the decision to rent space at a hotel, partly out of lack of free venues and partly because the hotel can really help with logistics. Costs a little more, but removes a lot of the variables and decreases the number of volunteers needed. Overall I think they are going for the same type event we did in Orlando. Sessions will be 75 minutes instead of the shorter 50 minute sessions in Orlando. Another advantage to the hotel is that there is a bar/restaurant on site so they can have the "after" party right there.
Event will be Jan 12, 2008 in Tampa. Call for speakers is now open for the event, and they tell me they plan to host 3 one day $99 seminars on Fri, one of which will be Celko doing a presentation similar to the one he did in Orlando. Limited info available at www.sqlsaturday.com, I expect more updates to be published by Mon.
It's a lot of fun to see someone try a slightly different way of hosting the event and see what they consider important vs not. No right answers, just a chance to learn!

Decision made about future of 150-year-old Brownsboro Rd. building
Decision made about future of 150-year-old Brownsboro Rd. building
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
A decision has been made about the future of a 150-year-old building on Brownsboro Road.
The Metro Landmarks Commission approved a plan Wednesday night for the Bauer's building, which is most recently the home of Azalea restaurant.
It includes moving the studs on two facades 10 feet forward, where a new foundation would be built.
Those facades would then be incorporated into a new medical office building.
The original plan called for completely demolishing the building, even though it was designated a local landmark.

NH Supreme Court decision changes kidnapper's sentenceBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
February 11. 2013 9:52PM
BRENTWOOD - When James Perry appears for sentencing on an attempted kidnapping conviction on Thursday, he will likely get a shorter prison sentence than he was first eligible for due a recent state Supreme Court decision, a judge ruled.
Judge N. William Delker said he will sentence Perry, 37, only on an attempted kidnapping conviction for trying to abduct a woman outside of an Ocean State Job Lot store Dec. 14, 2011.
A jury also convicted Perry of criminal restraint, which could have added up to 3½ to 7 years on his state prison sentence. But a state Supreme Court decision released days after Perry's conviction concluded that sentencing someone like Perry on both attempted kidnapping and criminal restraint charges would amount to double jeopardy.
Public defender Anthony Naro argued for dismissing the criminal restraint conviction following Perry's trial, saying that it would violate his client's right against double jeopardy. Prosecutors objected and Delker denied that request. Days later, Naro submitted a motion following Perry's conviction on Nov. 9 citing the case State vs. Gibbs, decided by the state Supreme Court on Dec. 21. The high court concluded that a person could not be charged with criminal restraint twice for the same course of action. More than once charge could be brought if a person was restrained or kidnapped, released then restrained again.
Instead of dismissing the criminal restraint conviction against Perry outright, Delker said he would hold off until his appeal is heard.
"If this court were to dismiss one of the charges now, that may bar retrial on that indictment if the conviction is overturned on appeal and remanded for a new trial," Delker said in a court order.
If the state Supreme Court upholds Perry's conviction on the attempted kidnapping case, then Delker will dismiss the criminal restraint charge. Perry now faces up 7½ to 15 years in prison on the attempted kidnapping charge. He is being held without bail at the Rockingham County jail.

[Information provided by: Louisiana Tech Athletics]
After leading the Louisiana Tech men's basketball team to the program's first ever Western Athletic Conference regular season championship in just his second year as head coach, Michael White was selected as the WAC Coach of the Year by the league's 10 head coaches announced today.
LA Tech reeled off 16 straight conference wins from late December to early March, finishing with a 16-2 mark and earning the No. 1 seed in the WAC Tournament set to begin March 12-16 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.
"This is a staff and program award that is normally given to a team that has success," said White. "It is a reflection of the year that we have had and the job that my staff has done."
Coach White is the first Bulldog coach in school history to receive the Don Haskins Coach of the Year honor.
Sophomore guards Raheem Appleby and Kenneth Smith were both selected as first team All-WAC members.
Appleby was a second team All-WAC selection his freshman year, and made the first team this season after leading the Bulldogs in scoring during conference action with 12.3 points per game.
Smith earned his first ever postseason honor, leading the WAC in assists per game with an average of 4.89 and was second in assist-to-turnover ratio.
The first team was led by Idaho senior Kyle Barone who was also voted the WAC's Player of the Year. Denver's Chris Udofia and New Mexico State's Bandja Sy rounded out the other first team selections.
Smith also joined sophomore forward Michale Kyser as members of the WAC's all-defensive team along with Denver's Chase Hallam and Udofia and New Mexico State's Daniel Mullings.
After breaking the freshman school record for most steals in a single season with 42 swpies, Smith needs only one more steal to add to his 53 already to also break the sophomore school record.
Kyser averaged 2.72 blocks per game, giving him 85 rejections on the season which is the second most ever in a single season for a Bulldog player.
Freshman guard Alex Hamilton was chosen to the WAC's all-newcomer team. The Chipley, Fla. native averaged 8.6 points per game during conference play, tied for the second highest average on the team behind Appleby.
"I'm ecstatic for our four young men who received recognition from the WAC," said White. "Their teammates were a big part of their success and I know all four of them would trade individual success for a championship this week."
Also selected to the WAC's all-newcomer team were New Mexico State's Sim Bhullar who was also chosen as the WAC Freshman of the Year, Texas State's Joel Wright and Utah State's Spencer Butterfield and Jarred Shaw.
