Swarovski1. What is Swarovski's historical background?
In 1895, Daniel Swarovski, a Bohemian inventor and visionary, moved to the village of Wattens, Tyrol in Austria, with his newly-invented machine for cutting and polishing crystal jewelry stones. With his dream of creating crystal so perfect that it captured both the eye and the heart Daniel Swarovski revolutionized the fashion world. More than 115 years of dedication have transformed the name Swarovski into the synonym for precise workmanship, quality and creativity all over the world.
Swarovski has grown to be the world's leading producer of precision-cut crystal for fashion, jewelry and more recently lighting, architecture and interiors. Today, the Swarovski Crystal Business, still family-owned and run by 5th generation family members, has a global reach with more than 25,000 employees and a presence in over 120 countries.
2. Does Swarovski only sell finished products?
Swarovski comprises two major businesses, one producing and selling loose crystals to the industry and the other creating design-driven finished products. Swarovski crystals have become an essential ingredient of international design. Since 1965 the company has also catered to the fine jewelry industry with precision-cut genuine gemstones and created stones. Showing the creativity that lies at the heart of the company, Swarovski's own brand lines of accessories, jewelry and home décor items are sold through more than 2,200 retail outlets worldwide.
Create Your Style3. What is Create Your Style?
Create Your Style is Swarovski's worldwide Do-it-Yourself initiative to spread the joy of creative personal design using Swarovski crystals, Swarovski's varied and versatile line of crystal items in every color, shape, size and style. Since the initiative's launch in 2004, Create Your Style has devoted itself to the creation of an inspiring and interactive platform to inspire and connect like-minded people with a passion for expressing themselves through personal design. At www.Create-Your-Style.com, creative expression is the name of the game.
Product features4. What makes Swarovski crystals special?
Highest Brilliance: Often imitated but never equaled, Swarovski offers the world's most brilliant and perfect loose crystal. Cutting edge technology brings the ultimate level of brilliance with the broadest light distribution and most intense luminosity – far ahead of competition.
Perfect Hole Solutions: Beads or Pendants from the Swarovski crystals assortment have a crystal clear hole that creates even more brilliance and color intensity. In addition, the rounded edges at the hole entry and exit facilitate the application and protect the thread and support the longevity of the designed piece.
Widest range of shapes and cuts, sizes, colors and effects: Swarovski crystals have a large variety of sophisticated shapes and cuts and more than 50 colors and 15 effects including the latest trend colors.
5. What does ADVANCED CRYSTAL stand for?
ADVANCED CRYSTAL refers to the re-defining the very DNA of crystal. Until now, lead has been a necessary component in the creation of ultra-clear, glittering crystals, but Swarovski has underlined its position as a market leader by creating ADVANCED CRYSTAL. This brand new composition provides the same sparkle, dependability, and variety that Swarovski is famous for – without lead*. ADVANCED CRYSTAL is also proof of Swarovski's long-standing reputation as a socially responsible corporate role model. (*Crystal glass and all other materials containing 0.009 % lead or less.)
Colors & Effects6. What is the difference between a color and an effect/a coating?
A colored crystal is completely permeated with a base color from the time of its creation, whereas the creation of crystal effects begins with a pure sparkling crystal, which is normally the basis from which to start. The creative effect is then achieved through a special finishing/coating process, which applies the effect to the surface or back of the crystal, depending upon the desired outcome.
7. What is an effect in general terms? How many types of effects are there?
Swarovski crystals offers both surface and translucent effects. Each surface effect has a vacuum coating on the obverse side of the crystal. Alternately, a vacuum coating on the reverse side of the crystal generates a translucent effect, which is intensified as it shines through the transparent crystal.
8. How many colors and effects does Swarovski crystals offer?
Swarovski crystals offers a classic, standard assortment of both colors and effects. Depending on the product group, this exclusive array can contain between 59 and 73 colors and between 19 and 27 effects. The most significant color for Swarovski crystals is without doubt natural Crystal, followed closely in importance by Jet and the range of Rose colors. As to effects, Crystal Aurora Borealis (AB), Crystal Golden Shadow, Crystal Silver Shade, Crystal Silver Night and Crystal Bronze Shade are amongst the highest ranking.
9. How are coatings generally applied? How durable are they?
The effects are applied by various vacuum-coating processes, which produce effects of varying durability depending on the individual application.
10. When did Swarovski start to work on coatings & effects?
The history of the creation of coatings and effects can be traced back to 1956, the year in which Swarovski, together with Christian Dior, developed the revolutionary 'Crystal Aurora Borealis' effect: a shimmering opal-like finish that truly enhances the beauty and sparkle of cut crystal. Since then, Swarovski has developed an extraordinary range of effects.
11. How often does Swarovski crystals develop new effects?
Swarovski crystals offer an immense variety of effects and colors and normally launches 2 new colors and 2 new effects per year, keeping one step ahead of worldwide trends in fashion, style and design.
12. What does AB stand for?
Aurora Borealis, commonly known as AB, is an effect which was jointly developed by Swarovski and Christian Dior in the 1950s. AB - a shimmering opal-like finish that truly enhances the beauty and sparkle of cut crystal - is the most popular effect within the Swarovski crystals product assortment.
Innovations13. Are there regular additions to the product assortment?
The extensive Swarovski crystals product assortment is updated and enhanced twice a year with new colors and products, keeping one step ahead of worldwide trends in fashion, style and design. Find out more about the latest collection – including a variety of new colors, effects and shapes – on the Create Your Style website!
XILION14. What's a XILION Bead?
XILION is a special cut developed by Swarovski which stands for the utmost brilliance, intense sparkle and fascinating light effects.
The XILION Bead art. 5328 combines complex, precision-cut faceting and perfect geometry to create a crystal of unrivaled luminosity, one that allows personalized designs to reach shimmering new heights of refinement. Advanced wearing comfort of the finished design is ensured by the rounder belt line. The XILION Bead art. 5328 is available in a tremendous variety of colors and effects.

How Many PeopleHave Allergies?
In 1950, it was thought, about 14 percent of the U.S. population had allergies. The 1985 estimates say that this number may have risen to about 33 percent, or 75 million Americans. All of these figures may be low estimates. For example, physicians interested in environmental medicine estimate that the number of children and adults who have food allergies or sensitivities exceeds 75 percent. They detect and confirm food allergies using short, informative diets and newer variations of traditional allergy skin testing.
If one parent has allergies, one out of every four of his or her offspring will have some form of this problem. If both parents have typical allergies, about 60 percent, or two out of three, of their children will tend to develop allergies. It is most unusual, however, to have more than one exquisitely sensitive child in the same family.
"Does Your Child Have Allergies?"
Many parents already know that someone in their family is unwell because of hay fever, asthma, hives, or eczema. These are the typical, major accepted forms of allergy.
There are other areas of the body that can be affected by allergies, however. Unfortunately these are not always recognized, suspected, or even agreed upon. Parents may be told repeatedly by their physicians that their children's complaints could not possibly be an allergy. Yet the parents' observations are often entirely valid.
Many adults are totally unaware that some of their children's or their own medical or emotional complaints could be solely due to an allergy. They often attribute chronic congestion, stuffiness, or throat clearing to a chronic sinus problem, but theydon't go one step farther to ask "why" the sinuses are always infected. They attribute their persistent cough to a postnasal drip but never ask "why" they always have a postnasal drip. Sudden irritability and mood changes, as well as fatigue, are sometimes erroneously attributed solely to the stresses of daily family life or to challenging situations at school or work, when they are in reality unusual manifestations of allergy.
"Adopted Children"
An inordinate number of allergic children appear to have been adopted. This seems to be particularly true for environmentally ill children. Maybe this is related to the prenatal attitude and health care of the mother. Maybe sometimes the infant cried so much because of an undetected milk allergy that the mother was overwhelmed and placed the infant for adoption. We simply don't know.
"What Is an Allergy?"
Surprisingly there is much confusion at the present time about the definition because the word "allergy" does not represent the same thing to all physicians. There are two distinctly divergent differences of opinion.
The original definition referred simply to any adverse reaction to a substance that does not bother most other individuals. The majority of people, for example, do not develop illness after they are exposed to dust, molds, pets, freshly cut grass, or after eating certain foods. In contrast allergic individuals commonly develop hay fever, asthma, hives, eczema, or intestinal symptoms from these types of exposures. The tentative diagnosis of allergy was originally based mainly upon the patient's history and physical examination, which suggested allergy. For example, if someone's nose repeatedly and suddenly becamewatery and itchy while cutting the grass, it was diagnosed as hay fever due to grass pollen.
In 1925, however, allergy was redefined, and the scope of what could be called an allergy became strictly limited. The majority of traditional allergists currently accept three basic concepts in relation to what is or is not an allergy:
This restricted definition may have to be updated and liberalized, however. There simply are too many children and adults who do not fit into the current restricted traditional definition of allergy. When too many individuals are the exception, the rules may need to be changed.
Let us examine each concept in a bit of detail.
"Areas of the Body That Can Be Affected by Allergy"
Many traditional allergy specialists believe that allergies can only affect limited and specific parts of the body. The nose, eyes, lungs, skin, and intestines are accepted areas. They strongly doubt, however, that a slice of bread, for example, could cause a toddler suddenly to be unable to walk or that a peanut butter sandwich could cause a child to fall asleep in school. They would not believe that the brain functions of children could be influenced by a food or other environmental factors, for example dust or mold, in such a way that the children would develop hyperactivity or behavior or learning problems. Articles published over forty years ago, however, as well as recent publications, indicate that a wide variety of medical complaints,including overactivity, fatigue, bed-wetting, inappropriate behavior, and even epilepsy, in "some" children, may be due to allergies.1 Specialists in environmental medicine believe it is possible that "any" area of the body can be affected by an allergy or a food or chemical sensitivity. Substances called chemical mediators are released during allergic reactions and travel all over the body, not just to "accepted" areas such as the lungs or nose.
"Substances or Exposures That Can Cause Allergy"
Traditional allergists believe that only certain specific substances or exposures can cause an allergy. They recognize that dust (mites), molds, pollen, pets, feathers, and a few foods cause hay fever or asthma, but they would strongly doubt that these same items could cause behavior, personality, activity, or learning problems. Most allergists would scoff at the idea that the latter problems or a wide range of typical medical illnesses could be caused by a wide range of foods or by chemical odors.
These are the major symptoms of potentially unrecognized allergies. Does your child suffer from any of the following?
• Allergic Nose Rub • Eye Circles • Red Ears • Red Cheeks • Eye Wrinkles • Aggression • Lack of Alertness • Mottled Tongue •
In this breakthrough book, Dr. Doris Rapp offers a simple yet effective approach to handling "problem" children. Is This Your Child? shows parents how to identify the common foods, chemicals, or common allergic substances that could be the culprits that cause some children or adults to feel unwell or act inappropriately. If your child is always sick, hyperactive, a slow learner, or cranky, the first question you should ask is not "What drug should be prescribed?" or "What have I done wrong as a parent?" Instead, find out the cause.
Dr. Rapp gives sensible suggestions about how these reactions to foods and environmental factors can be recognized, prevented, and treated. With this information, many affected children should feel, act, behave, and learn better. If you can detect unsuspected environmental illness in your child--or yourself--you can change your lives so you're more content, happy, and free of illness.
Doris J. Rapp, M.D., F.A.A.A., F.A.A.P., is a board-certified environmental medical specialist and pediatric allergist for children. She is clinical assistant professor of pediatrics at the State University of New York at Buffalo. She is the founder of the Practical Allergy Foundation in Buffalo and is the past president of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine.

Nearly a year later, the memories associated with Natick's six-point upset to Wellesley still sting. On Friday night, Natick (2-0) has a rematch against its Bay State Conference Herget Division rivals at Memorial Field.
Nearly a year later, the memories associated with Natick's six-point upset to Wellesley still sting.
At this past Tuesday's practice – as Natick (2-0) prepares for a rematch against its Bay State Conference Herget Division rivals this Friday at 7 p.m. at Memorial Field – head coach Mark Mortarelli and his players recalled their feelings after last November's 40-34 defeat.
"Well, I was embarrassed, the way, defensively, we played . . . horrible," Mortarelli said.
Members of the defensive unit echoed similar sentiments.
"It was gut-wrenching," said senior captain and defensive/offensive lineman Lee Griesmer. "We really, really got down on ourselves. It was something that no defense ever wants to see. Another team put 40 points up on you and your offense still be able to keep you in the game, and you not be able to come up with that stop which would really have got you back into that game."
Added senior linebacker Gus Black, "Other than the Super Bowl (loss to Beverly), it was probably the worst feeling I had all year. There's nothing worse than losing to Wellesley."
Still, the loss to the Raiders did seem to galvanize Natick over its final three games. The Redhawks rebounded with impressive wins over Walpole, Framingham and Plymouth South on their way to the Division 2A Super Bowl.
"The loss last year, it was a huge loss, obviously . . . disappointing," said senior captain and quarterback Troy Flutie. "But I kind of felt that it opened us up and kind of exposed us. I don't know. I think it helped us, really, the loss, for the next week against Walpole.
"I look back on it and I hate losing to Wellesley, but I also thank them. I think that we wouldn't have made it to the Super Bowl without losing to them. And it's a lesson we learned."
Only two games into this season, the Redhawks readily acknowledge that a second-straight loss to Wellesley (1-1) would offer no such silver lining.
"This year we have to beat them," Flutie said. "It's not one of those games you can learn from."
Leading up to Friday's contest, Natick's senior core has ensured that the mistakes the team made a year ago will not be repeated.
"I think we were a little too cocky coming in," recalled senior wide out Andrew Boynton. "We didn't put forth as much effort as we could have so that was disappointing. But, obviously, that's what is going to drive us this week."
It's this focus and urgency – ingrained since they first learned that their Week 3 opponent would be Wellesley – which has the Redhawks eagerly awaiting the rematch and a chance to redeem last season's most lackluster performance.
"This is a big game for us," Griesmer said. "Especially since we got beat up last year. We're really looking forward to being able to prove ourselves.
"A lot of the returning defensive players made a note that this is a big week for us, and we don't want to give up 40 points. We don't want to give up 20 points. We don't want to give up any points. It's really hard to stop anybody from scoring, but we're really committed to having a good defensive week this week."
Injury Update
While many Natick seniors expressed great enthusiasm for this Friday's rematch against Wellesley during Tuesday's practice, two classmates absent from the session were receivers/defensive backs Mike Abbruzzese and Alex Hilger.
Abbruzzese, who strained ligaments in his elbow against Acton-Boxborough while trying to make a tackle, was excused so that he could receive physical therapy. Mortarelli, however, expects Abbruzzese to be ready for game action versus Wellesley.
"It seems like he's OK," Mortarelli said on Tuesday. "We're obviously going to be careful with him this week and see how he feels towards the end of the week. But it looks like he will be alright."
Meanwhile, the status of Hilger, who suffered a separated shoulder after diving to make a tackle, which resulted in his landing awkwardly on the turf, remains murky. A doctor's appointment on Tuesday coupled with a week of rest left Hilger's availability in question.
If unable to go against Wellesley, Hilger's absence would not only be felt on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, but also on special teams where he kicks field goals as well as punts.
"Ryan Ofgant did a great job filling in punting Friday night for us," Mortarelli said. "So we'd certainly go with him. We trust him 100 percent.
"And Ben Nottonson did the PAT duties when Alex was out, and he certainly has a very strong leg as well. Those guys will get ready all week and if we need them, we'll throw them in there."

The findings allowed scientists to date the shared ancestor or all equines (horses, donkeys and zebras) back 4 million years. Previously this ancestor had thought to date to 2 million years ago. Comparison between modern horse DNA, the Przewalski Horse, and a previous fossil, allowed them to establish a "molecular clock"--no, I don't understand this, but I appreciate it.
The article contains a link to another, which finds that humans in Oregon lived in the at the same time as a "stocky-legged" horse. Remains of both were found in caves. The paleontologist who examined the bones, Brianna McHorse (really!) believes that further analysis may help us understand if there were many types of horse in North America fourteen thousand years ago, or just a couple.
I'm curious about that, but also about the cave itself, and the Paleo-Indians who may have lived in it. I have always wondered about the meaning of the legend, which I think is widespread among American Indians, that their ancestors came out of a hole in the ground. Is this an ancestral memory of cave-dwelling? Or did the so-called "ice-free corridor" feel like living in a hole? Or what?
Somebody, build a time machine. Please!

Automation Basics
While compression can be a powerful creative tool, over-compression of signals during recording or mixing can become a "lazy" way of maintaining balance throughout playback of a song. If all of the dynamic volume changes of the sources are removed or highly reduced through compression, mixing becomes largely a set-and-forget process of balancing instruments and applying processing/effects. This however, does not necessarily result in the most interesting mixes, and can often make a performance sound flat or dull.
Through effective mix automation, this phenomena can be avoided and the precious micro and maco-dynamics of a source can be preserved, resulting in an end product with so much more life than its over-compressed counterpart. Taking the time to actually "ride" levels throughout a song turns a mix into a kind of performance, allowing each component to remained balanced despite wide dynamic changes, while preserving the integrity of the original signal.
While many music styles and sources can actually benefit from effective (and often high) compression, the resulting "sound" should be a creative choice, not a by-product of shortcuts to make the mixing process faster, or lack of knowledge or technique.
Automation can easily become as much as 50% of the total time that I spend on a mix, even in simple fader/mute console automation systems.
The power of modern DAW systems gives you many more options to manipulate the performance of a mix in real-time and by opening up more possibilities, can serve to increase the time spent on this crucial step.
When time is money, I obviously have a motivation to get things done quickly, but DAW mixing speeds up so many of our process to a degree that it should allow us to spend more time to get these critical finishing touches "right".
Analog Console Automation
Analog recording consoles have featured two types of fader automation systems: VCA and moving fader.
VCA stands for voltage-controlled-amplifier. In a VCA fader, the signal does not pass through the analog fader circuit directly, but rather a control voltage. The control voltage (CV) is trimmed by the fader and fed to the CV input of the VCA, which in -turn adjusts the gain accordingly. The CV is also read and stored by the automation computer and, during automation playback, fed to the CV input of the VCA, in lieu of the fader CV output.
With a VCA-based fader automation you will never see the faders move but your automation moves will still playback in real-time. You may be able to monitor "virtual" fader positions via console metering, or computer interface, and even match original fader levels through delta indicators on the mixing console.
A moving (or motorized) fader system is just what its name implies. A position sensor and linear motor are attached to a traditional linear fader. Signal passes through the linear fader, just as with a non-automated fader, but the console computer stores the real-time output of the position sensor. The electronics of the position sensor circuit are very similar to VCA based automation systems but, during playback, the CV signals control the position/movement of the linear motor (which in turn moves the fader) instead of a VCA circuit.
Many engineers consider the motorized system superior to the VCA system not because of the motion of the fader, but due to the distortion inherent to a VCA circuit. Some very successful mixing engineers, however, have crafted this distortion characteristic into a part of their own signature "sound".
In either case, the console would be synchronized to the multi-track using SMPTE/EBU time-code to allow synchronized record and playback of automation moves.
SSL 4000 G/G+ Automation
Early automation, especially moving fader systems could be quite expensive, so many console manufacturers included it only as an option or third-party systems could be integrated if a studio wished. The SSL 4000 G/G+ series consoles were arguably the first production consoles to feature an integrated console computer and automation system, the G bearing a VCA-based system and the G+ including "Ultimation", a hybrid VCA and moving fader system.
The advantage of the Ultimation hybrid system containing a touch-sensitive fader controlling both VCA and moving fader circuits, was the ability to perform both Absolute and Trim mode recording of automation in real-time, while monitoring a previous automation "pass".
Absolute-mode automation overwrites any existing automation from a prior pass. In this manner, moves can be re-recorded until signals are balanced perfectly throughout playback. An example of this would be "riding the vocal", wherein the vocal fader is hand manipulated from phrase-to-phrase, word-to-word, and sometimes even syllable-to-syllable to ensure that it stays perfectly leveled in the mix; neither too quiet, nor too loud.
Trim-mode automation adds to or subtracts from pre-recorded automation. With a VCA-based automation system, the console computer could simultaneously play back previously recorded automation moves and trim them based on current dynamic values, re-recording a new combined automation pass. Even trim-based automation always has to start with at least one Absolute-pass in which baseline levels (either static or changing) are recorded from the beginning to end of a mix.
With SSL Ultimation system, containing both moving-fader and VCA-based automation circuitry, a mixing engineer could harness the best features of each system: the real-time trim-based automation featured in VCA based systems, and the sonic characteristics of a moving fader system during playback.
A mix could be built up of many passes using each technique as appropriate and played back through the moving fader system.
The SSL G/G+ also featured a handful of VCA group-masters in the center section of the console that allowed multiple faders on the board to be controlled by a single master. The VCA group-masters passed no signal, their only purpose is to control groups of faders from the center section. Even the VCA group-masters could be assigned to another master, a technique known as cascading groups, to allow individual control of a sub-group, with a master controlling additional faders or sub-groups (i.e, your Lead fader and BG Vocal group may be controlled by a single Vocal group).
DAW Automation
Modern digital audio workstations' and digital consoles' mixing systems have been designed, largely, to emulate the workflow of these traditional analog desks. While DAWs and digital consoles, and some very high-end analog desk, allow many more features (pans, sends, inserts, eq and dynamics) to be automated, terminology and practices in absolute/trim-mode and VCA/moving fader systems are still prevalent in these systems today and work, basically, the same. The prevalent example in this article will be Pro Tools, though it's worth noting that many other DAW's have similar functioning features.
VCA Masters in Pro Tools
Pro Tools 7.2 introduced an array of automation and operation features that were intended to help engineers familiar with large-format analog desks to make the transition to working in Pro Tools and, especially, the Avid/Digidesign ICON Worksurfaces. One of these features included the addition of VCA Masters as a track option in the New Tracks dialog.
The careful selection configuration of Mix Groups and VCA Masters can make the task of both balancing and automating your mix much easier.
How and Why to Configure VCA Masters
A VCA Master in Pro Tools is capable of controlling any Mix Group. To create a VCA Master, utilize the New Tracks dialog. When organizing my mixing session file, I will usually generate 8-12 right up front, and Disable/Hide any that are unnecessary. Assigning a Mix Group to a VCA Master can be accomplished in one of two ways:
If you have existing Mix Groups that you wish to assign VCA Masters to, you can select where an Audio Track would normally display it's Track Output (this will read "No Group" for an unassigned VCA Master), and select the appropriate Mix Group from the resulting menu.
When creating new, or modifying (7.3 or later), Mix Groups, you can select a VCA Master from the drop down menu indicated by "VCA."
You can now alter not only Volume, but Mute, Solo, Record and Input states, for the entire Group utilizing the VCA Master. You can also automate both Volume and Mute from the VCA Master as you would with any other track type, resulting in automation of all tracks associated with the VCA Master (assigned to the corresponding Mix Group).
The advantage of creating a VCA Master over just leaving it as a traditional Mix Group, is that the individual channels can be adjusted and automated separately from the VCA Master without affecting the other tracks in the group.
Not only do you no longer have to hold Ctrl (on Mac, Alt on Windows) while making adjustments to individual group members but, more importantly, you can still adjust individual track states even after automation is written to the group master. With traditional channel automation, once automation has been written to the Volume Automation Playlist, you must either Trim or Edit the written automation in order to change over-all mix volume.
By writing automation to the VCA Masters wherever it is feasible, you speed up your mixing process by allowing yourself to retain the ability to alter individual members of the group simply by grabbing a fader or control.
Once automation has been written to a VCA Master it can be composited (combined) with Volume automation on it's member tracks by selecting Coalesce VCA Master Automation from the Tracks menu, or by right-clicking the track name and selecting it from the context menu. This will write the resulting automation to the tracks, clear the VCA Master playlist, and set the VCA fader volume to Unity.
When mixing on a worksurface like the Avid ICON, I'll typically either create a Custom Fader Group or Nudge/Bank the faders so my VCA Masters appear in the most conveniently located group of channels (typically, just left of the center section). Once configured, more than 50% of my Volume Automation will occur on the VCA Master.
This means less time editing points and lines on a track and more time listening.
Cascading VCA Groups in Pro Tools
Cascading VCA groups (creating sub-groups controlled by larger groups) can easily be accomplished. VCA Masters, like any other track type, can be assigned to Mix Groups. By simply assigning a VCA Master to a mix group controlled by another VCA Master, you have defined a sub-group.
An example of where I use this would be when dealing with multi-mic'ed drum kits. I may have multiple Kick, Snare, Tom, Overhead or Room microphones, and I will create a Mix group so that each can controlled by a VCA Master. I will then assign each VCA Master, along with any "orphan" drum tracks such as Hi-hats or other spot mics, to a single Drum Mix group which has it's own VCA Master.
Using Trim Automation in Pro Tools
Another advancement of Pro Tools 7.2 was the ability to store and edit Volume Trim automation in a separate Playlist from "absolute" Volume automation. If you click your playlist drop-down, you will now see separate Volume and Volume Trim playlists.
When viewing the Volume playlist, the absolute Volume automation will appear in black with editing points/handles as normal. If the fader has been adjusted in Trim Automation mode, or even changed while Trim Automation mode is enabled, there will also be a blue line indicating the resulting automation that will occur on play back, a composite of Trim Volume and absolute Volume.
When viewing the Volume Trim playlist, the Trim Volume automation will appear in yellow with editing points/handles. Likewise, the resulting composite of Trim Volume and absolute Volume will appear in blue.
Keeping Trim Automation and Volume Automation Separate
A trick that I use to speed up my mix is to keep Volume and Volume Trim automation separate, for the most part, and perform most of my dynamic automation in the Volume Trim playlist. This means always selecting "Trim" when automating a fader volume.
To keep these playlists separate, you must disable Pro Tools' default preference to automatically coalesce (combine) automation playlists. This is done through the Automation section of the Mixing Preferences, by changing the Coalesce Trim Automation Options radio button to Manual. While Pro Tools will play back automation as a composite playlist, you must manually coalesce your Trim and absolute Volume playlists to commit your changes to a single Volume playlist.
While I'm here, I usually adjust the AutoMatch Time to a relatively minimal value (50-100ms) and set the After Write Pass, Switch To option to Touch. Even though I often elect not to disarm a fader's automation state from "Write" to "Off" after an absolute pass the channel will remain in Read mode until I touch and move a fader, at which point it will begin writing automation to either the Volume Trim (if Trim is enabled) or Volume automation playlist. As soon as I release the fader, it will return quickly (but not instantly) to it's former recorded position.
I use the Write to End or Write to Punch commands in the Auto Enable window to make broader changes without playing through a long section.
The advantage of writing all of your early automation to your Volume Trim playlist is that, while Pro Tools will always play back your Volume Trim automation when in Read, Touch, or , you can still alter your overall volume for the track by simply grabbing the fader and moving it when in a standard mixing mode. This means you can perform vocal rides throughout a song, but still adjust the overall level of the track simply by moving the fader, with Trim disabled.
Performing Trim "Style" Moves
If you want to perform a Trim style change when using this technique (i.e. increasing the volume of just the choruses, while maintaining the word-to-word automation, of your vocal track) you have three options:
You may write your Trim style automation to the absolute Volume playlist, or, you may use the Coalesce Trim Automation command to instruct Pro Tools to combine your absolute Volume and Volume Trim automation into a single Volume playlist. Either case bears one disadvantage: you can no longer independently control absolute Volume and Volume Trim without editing or recording additional automation.
The third option, and one I use often, is to use Pro Tools 10's Clip Gain feature to make fixed changes to level. It should be noted that these changes will precede any channel processing, so it should only be used for subtle, broad changes.
Happy Mixing!

E.L. Doctorow was born in 1931, John Updike in 1932 and Philip Roth in 1933. Joan Didion was born only a year later, in 1934, and Don DeLillo in 1936. While only five years separate the eldest from the youngest of these writers, one senses a distinct generational split between them. Doctorow's new novel, The March, for example, is an intricate and melancholy re-creation of the final months of the Civil War, following Sherman's Army from Atlanta to Savannah and up through the Carolinas until the war's end. An imaginative attempt to grapple with the history of our country, its callused nobility and tendency to find redemption in blowing things up, this is the kind of historical project Roth or Updike might have undertaken (as, in a sense, they have in The Plot Against America and Memories of the Ford Administration), but never Didion or DeLillo, nor any of the politically inclined American writers born later. What lies beneath Doctorow's historical novels (Ragtime, Billy Bathgate, World's Fair and now The March) is a romantic love of his country, its history of democracy and violence, and its layered identity of individualism, religiosity, struggle and plenty.
Doctorow's complex brand of patriotism does not prevent him from exploring the abuses of power that mark our history. He did so from his earliest work, as in The Book of Daniel and later in Ragtime, and he does so again here. Yet his sadness and outrage are different from the cold contempt of DeLillo. Encountering Doctorow's sadness at the scars of our past, younger writers might ask, What did you expect?
Something much better, might be the reply. In their fictional re-creations, Doctorow, Roth and Updike seek to understand and re-experience America, to re-examine the possibilities of what was, in their childhoods, still a young and second-tier nation; they are able to lose themselves in the color and flavor of a past that is certainly not innocent but lacks the corrosive cynicism and corruption we would be forced to recognize in ourselves later. These writers are fed, perhaps, by their knowledge of an America their younger peers never saw, their experience of a brief period when Americanism and justice were not the antithetical concepts they later became; when progressivism had a foothold; when the labor movement became an established and significant force; when the United States achieved a kind of honorable strength in World War II. I suspect these realities allowed certain writers, like Roth and Doctorow, to internalize an enduring view of their country that younger writers simply do not have. The actual experience of America as a nation in which justice is possible was, for people born later, profoundly undermined. The point of view of later writers is more caustic, and so is their language: more skeptical, less elegant, more ironic, less lavish, more queasy, less fundamentally hopeful. Walker Percy, though born earlier, is one of them: He began writing late in life and as a landed Southerner was untouched by the Northern working-class experience that Doctorow, Roth and Updike share. Cormac McCarthy, interestingly enough, was born in 1933 and has a little of both worlds in his work. You might say that everything he wrote through Blood Meridian (1985) allies him to the younger, darker camp; the Border Trilogy, which followed, places him with the older and more sentimental one. We would be wise to remember that while the earlier books earned him a great reputation among other writers, the later ones have made him a fortune. Blood Meridian comes to mind in a few passages in The March, long adjectival sentences describing blood and viscera and shock and death, but the similarity is likely accidental. Of course, everybody gets a little Faulknerian when the blood starts to flow on Southern ground.

David Attilio ('13) was looking for a college that could support his dual interests of music and education. He found just what he was looking for in Kutztown's music and education programs.
The wide variety of classes in music is helping prepare Attilio for a career as a music teacher or professional musician. Attilio feels that the faculty of Kutztown have helped him "become a good person, not just a good musician."
Attilio advises prospective students that Kutztown is a great choice.
"Kutztown has very good faculty and staff, the grounds are beautiful, teachers are very respectable," Attilio said. "Whenever you need help, they're always there."

P0029 Engine Trouble Code
Meaning of P0029 engine trouble code is a kind of powertrain trouble code and when your car's 'P0029 Check Engine' light comes on, it's usually accompanied by a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. The light could mean a costly problem, like a bad catalytic converter, or it could be something minor, like a loose gas cap. But in many cases, it means at minimum that you'll be visiting the car dealer to locate the malfunction and get the light turned off.
P0029 Fault Symptoms :
If one of these reasons for P0029 code is occuring now you should check P0029 repair processes.
Now don't ask yourself; What should you do with P0029 code ?
The solution is here :
P0029 Possible Solution:
Gasoline engines use spark plugs to cause an explosion of fuel within the cylinder. In a properly timed engine, this explosion occurs at the proper moment to send the piston to the bottom of the cylinder and provide power to the drive shaft. If the plug wires are out of sequence, the explosion occurs at the wrong time. The improper timing of the explosion sometimes pushes the cylinder the wrong direction or interferes with the turning of the crank. As a result, the engine stutters or backfires, if it runs at all.
P0029 Code Meaning :
|OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code For Engine
|Intake Valve Control Solenoid Circuit Low
|Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Low
|Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit Low
|Reverse Input Circuit
Is the fuel pump sometimes not priming when you turn the key to ON(II)? Start by measuring the fuel pressure and checking whether you have bright white-bluish spark at all four plugs. The mechanical timing is also something that you should check, as we mentioned above.
P0029 OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code DescriptionP0029 OBD-II Trouble Code Exhaust Valve Control solenoid Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2 is the generic definition for the P0029; however your vehicles manufacturer may have a different definition for the P0029 code. P0029 code.
Main reason For P0029 CodeThe reason of P0029 OBD-II Engine Trouble Code is Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Low.
P0029 DTC reports a sensor fault, replacement of the sensor is unlikely to resolve the underlying problem. The fault is most likely to be caused by the systems that the sensor is monitoring, but might even be caused by the wiring to the sensor itself.

Setting up your alarm system can seem like a major ordeal, but by following the steps below, you can significantly cut down on both the time and hassle involved in this process.
The first thing you will need to do is to mount the sensors for your new system. It is critical to have your sensors mounted correctly, otherwise they will not function properly and may give error messages. Here are a couple of links to help you insure your sensors are mounted correctly.
1) General Sensor Mounting
2) Mounting a Sensor on a Door That Opens to the Outside
3) If you have a sensor on a sliding and the door is recessed in from the frame, click here.
4) Mounting A Motion Sensor
Now you will need to power on the system. It is important to connect the two red wires in the back of the panel first and then plug the unit into the wall. If you do not do this, the panel will beep for up to 24 hours while the battery charges. If you have already plugged the panel in, follow this link to cycle the power and clear the beeping.
Second, if you have cellular monitoring, you will need to find a location that gets strong cell coverage and has no sources of wireless interference (such as a wireless internet router) within 15 feet of the panel. Ideally, you will want 2 bars of signal strength. This link will help you determine the best location for strong signal strength on your alarm panel.
Next, you will want to place the alarm panel at the final location. Since the Simon XT unit normally comes with a desk mount attached, you will need to remove it if you want to mount the panel on the wall. Please see the links below for the easiest way to do this.
Once the panel is mounted, it may beep periodically. This means that your panel has detected an issue that needs your attention. To check the messages on your panel, press the "Status" button followed immediately by the "Disarm" button. Then press "Status" again. The panel will now give you the current issues it is experiencing. Some of the most common issues are that the time is not set, or there is a sensor failure or tamper. Follow the links below to fix these issues.
Once you have taken care of any issues on the panel, there is one final step to verify that everything is working properly. We will need to do a sensor test to confirm that all the sensors are communicating with the panel. Please refer to the link below.
Sensor Test
Once you have successfully completed the sensor test, you should be ready for your activation appointment!

Great Lakes Legislative Caucus member comments on Army Corps of Engineers' plans
State Sen. George Maziarz, New York state's executive committee member on the interstate Great Lakes Legislative Caucus, today sent a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers urging federal action to halt the spread of Asian carp into the Great Lakes. The Asian carp is an invasive species that currently poses a threat to the ecology of native species within Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and other nearby freshwater resources.
The letter to the Corps of Engineers was sent as a public comment on its Great Lakes and Mississippi River Inter Basin Study, a report aimed at identifying options and technologies to prevent the movement of aquatic nuisance species between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. For more information, visit glmris.anl.gov.
Maziarz wrote, "The need for bold, decisive, preventative action to prevent the invasion of Asian Carp is compelling and demands immediate action as well as effective long term strategies... If a physical separation has the highest potential for effectively halting the spread of Asian Carp and other aquatic invasive species (and I do believe this), then the cost of this approach is worth it in comparison to the profound economic and social costs if Asian Carp establish in the Great Lakes."
Public comment on the GLMRIS study ends March 31.

First up, a disclaimer: I only made it through all of the first book and a bit of the second book of this trilogy. Which I guess give you a clue about what I thought of it.
Ah Fiona McIntosh, what do I do with you? Our relationship started out so well. I always love reading fantasy by Australian writers, partly because I'm as patriotic as the next gal, but also because it seems to a genre that Australian writers are good at. And certainty the first trilogy I read by McIntosh, The Quickening trio, was true to that. Those books put a nicely original spin on a reliable old fantasy story line, and the characters were complex and the plot well paced. The ending was a little to convenient for my liking, but not enough that it spoiled the books for me.
This was the second trilogy McIntosh had published, so of course I went out and got a hold of her first effort, The Trinity trilogy. It was… not so good. The characters were walking cliché's and the plot treated logic like an untrustworthy stranger. But I was forgiving, there was such a difference in quality between The Quickening and these books that I simply assumed McIntosh was improving as a writer with every effort.
Having struggled though half the Percheron trilogy before giving up, I'm starting to think maybe The Quickening was a fluke. The Percheron trilogy, or at least the half I read, was terrible. The only positive thing I can think to say about them is that the cover art is truly spectacular. But then I just get all resentful that such poor books get to have such beautiful covers.
Let's start with the most important element in a book: the characters. We have the Odalisque Ana, the beautiful girl with mysterious ancestry. Did I mention she was beautiful? Little chance of forgetting, as we are reminded almost every time she appears on stage, and other characters are forever stopping to marvel at just how gosh darn beautiful and captivating she is. She is also kind to small children and animals, and when she sees an old lady being ripped off in the street she immediately jumps in and helps her. (The old lady, natch, turns out to be a Goddess in disguise and gives Anna a magical trinket in exchange for her kindness).
We also have the head of the Zar's security, Lazar (It's not a coincidence and not very clever that his name sounds so much Lazarus...). Lazar and Ana fall in love instantly, even though she's barely a teenager and he's well into his thirties when they first meet. Lazar is moody and mysterious and handsome, women want to be with him, men want to be him, etc. He's also prone to self pity and petulance, but I think this angst is supposed to make us like him more. Spoiler: it does not.
The only character who is not two shades away from being a Mary Sue is Boaz, the young Zar. Unfortunately McIntosh devotes little time to Boez, and while I obviously don't know how the book progresses it seems to me that we are supposed to dislike him because, gasp, he wants to have sex with Ana! How dare the Zar want to get it on with a member of his own harem, am I right?
And the plot? You could make an excellent drinking game out of it. Every time destiny gets mentioned, drink. I promise you'll be seeing double before you're half way through the first book. Characters who are meeting for the first time decide to trust each other because they sense it's destiny. They make huge leaps of understanding not because they uncover information but because they just know, somehow. It's appallingly lazy writing. Oh, I can't think of a reason why character A. would reveal his big secret to character B. I'll just make it destiny!
In the end I announced to my boyfriend that if I read the word destiny one more time I was putting the book down for good. I barely made it another page.
Maybe the final book fully redeemed all of these flaws, but I doubt even Neil Gaiman could salvage something out of it. (I mean, I haven't even touched upon the the rampant Orientalism or Boaz's mother...)
How did I get these books? I bought them. (Yes, all three... Sigh)

Prediction: KC 23, OAK 20
Always a close game and sadly a low scoring one in recent years. Over the last ten matchups, neither team has scored more than 23 points and only two were decided by more than a touchdown. The road team has won the last seven of these games.
These teams traded road wins with the Chiefs winning 16-10 in Oakland and the Raiders winning 13-10 in Kansas City in 2009.
QUARTERBACK: Matt Cassel never passed for more than 241 yards and one score during the two meetings with the Raiders last year. But this time around it could be different. The Raiders have allowed seven of their eight opponents to all pass for exactly two touchdowns each. The yardage is generally below average but the scores have been a constant until Matt Hasselbeck last week. Add in that Nnamdi Asomugha and may not play means even easier times throwing the ball. I like one score here at least for Cassel but the second score is more likely to be rushing from this team. There is definite upside for a second score here but a lack of receivers by the Raiders should push this game into a slowed down rushing endeavor.
RUNNING BACKS: Forget about the the split load, Jamaal Charles racked up 177 yards on 22 carries against the Bills and had 61 more yards on four receptions. That was his first game over the 100 rushing yard mark and he still has only scored twice on the season. Thomas Jones also had a nice game and the duo should have some fun in Oakland where the Raiders have already allowed lesser rushing attacks to shine. Only facing several poor rushing teams have prevented the Raiders from being #32 against running backs. Both Charles and Jones are must starts this week.
Charles rushed for 103 yards and one score on 18 carries in Oakland last season.
WIDE RECEIVERS: The Chiefs will likely still be without Dexter McCluster who is nursing a high ankle sprain. Without McCluster, Chris Chambers was inserted into the Bills game but came away with no catches. Dwayne Bowe has scored in each of his last three games and while normally facing the Raiders spells a down week for a top wideout, this time CB Nnamdi Asomugha is likely out with a high ankle sprain and that should free Bowe to reach his fourth straight scoring game. Not likely to have huge yardage here with a rushing game that should really work, but Bowe should manage to get that one score.
Bowe turned in 91 yards on six catches in Oakland in 2009.
TIGHT ENDS: Tony Moeaki has not scored since week three but he's been solid with around 40 yards or more. The Raiders have been weaker against the position but Cassel won't likely need to check down to Moeaki with Asomugha out.
Pregame Notes: Could it be that an Al Davis team would actually have any relevance? After being a bottom dweller for so long, even a 4-4 record seems a lofty accomplishment and winning the last two games by a combined 92 to 17 is mind boggling. A win this week would be huge but the receivers are all banged up if they can even play and the schedule gets rocky after the week 10 bye. Still, with any luck that week 17 matchup in Kansas City may finally see the season end in a meaningful game.
QUARTERBACK: Bruce Gradkowski remains the starter whenever he can return from his shoulder injury but expectations are that he'll wait until week 11 in Pittsburgh after the bye. Jason Campbell has really come on in the last two weeks with a total of four touchdowns and a 310 yard game against the Seahawks thanks to Darrius Heyward Bey. But as good as he has been - supported by a dominating rushing attack lately - the job remains Gradkowski when he returns.
Problematic this week is that almost all the receivers are hurt. Louis Murphy remains out with a bruised lung and Heyward -Bey hurt his shoulder. Perhaps worse yet, Zach Miller was on crutches last week's game and may be limited or even out.
The Chiefs have been good at keeping opponents to around 220 yards and maybe one score and that may be hard enough to get with the injuries to the receivers. Best bet this week is to leave Campbell on your bench.
RUNNING BACKS: The Raiders have been wildly successful rushing the ball lately and enough so that now there are three running backs at play. Darren McFadden has gained well over 100 total yards in every game he has played this year including four games with over 100 rushing yards. He also has scored six times with two coming via a reception.
Michael Bush remains second tier but that still has meant around 50 or more yards every week and he scored in four of the last five matchups. He has scored in every home game this year.
Marcel Reese is just a relief player but even he had a score and 90 yards as a receiver last week and he scored once in the Denver game on his seven carries for 39 yards.
This all works very well and enough to cover up problems in the passing game.
The Chiefs have been solid against rushing and no runner has topped 71 yards against them but they have allowed five rushing scores over the last three games and opposing running backs have had success as a receiver. Both McFadden and Bush should be fantasy starts this week.
WIDE RECEIVERS: As mentioned, all the guys here are hurt. Darrius Heyward-Bey has a shoulder sprain but comes off his best game of the year with 105 yards on five carries with a 69-yard touchdown when he torched the replacement cornerbacks the Seahawks were using. He even had a 30 yard gain on an end-around for the first time this year. Barring later info that he is not playing, I will assume at least a limited Heyward-Bey can play though he's normally been ineffective when he has so much as a scratch. Louis Murphy remains out with his lung contusion and Jacoby Ford has been almost no help in covering for him. Ford only has two catches in each of the last two games.
Expect minimal production from this banged up group.
TIGHT ENDS: Zach Miller only had one catch last week before injuring his foot. He was later on crutches but HC Tom Cable would only say that he expects him to play this week. The Chiefs have only allowed one score to the position in the last five weeks and never more than 76 yards (Antonio Gates). With Miller banged up, lower your expectations this week in the best case scenario. Updates as warranted.

On Divine Gifts
eBook (ePub)
Price: $1.99
The spiritual traditions of Cassian had an immeasurable effect on Western Europe. Many different western spiritualities, from that of Saint Benedict to that of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, owe their basic ideas to Cassian. In particular, the Institutes had a direct influence on organization of monasteries described in the Rule of St. Benedict; Benedict also recommended that ordered selections of the Conferences be read to monks under his Rule. Moreover, the monastic institutions Cassian inspired kept learning and culture alive during the Early Middle Ages, and were often the only institutions that cared for the sick and poor. His works are excerpted in the Philokalia (Greek for "love of the beautiful"), the Eastern Orthodox compendium on mystical Christian prayer.

In-house design is at a watershed. This is not hyperbole – it's a fact. Never before has design been at the forefront of business thinking as it is now. Certainly in the past good design has been celebrated and acknowledged as a driver of sales, but this time there's a decidedly different and more critical proposition being advanced; that design thinking must be integrated into the very fabric and culture of companies if they are to survive and succeed in today's complicated global economic environment.
No group within the design community is better positioned to forward this movement than in-house designers. We are right in the middle of the intersection of the business and design spheres. We work alongside the key stakeholders of our companies, see them in the halls, eat lunch with them, join them on multidisciplinary committees. This should afford us opportunities to establish powerful working relationships with them, yet often that does not occur.
Whose fault is that? I would say that as much as we're prone to blame "the man" for our position as second-class corporate citizens, it is actually our fault that we find ourselves considered merely short order cooks and glorified production artists. We need to grow up, jump off the porch and start running with the big dogs.
Don't get defensive. I'm not saying the situation we're in is entirely of our making, though we do need to take responsibility for it if we're to move forward. Most of us received little, if any, preparation that would enable us to navigate the labyrinthine and often dysfunctional world that is the corporation. Only a small percentage of designers working in or running corporate creative teams have received the kind of relevant management and business training that would allow them to effectively interface with their clients, managers and peers in other departments.
Yet as challenging as these circumstances are, we now find ourselves presented with the possible opportunity of taking that desired seat at the mythical table. We therefore need to make sure we understand proper etiquette and develop a taste for what's being served up.
In the midst of all this change, we first must figure out what we want to be when we grow up, and then do just that – grow up. This means looking at our companies and determining how and where we can have the biggest impact, understanding what we want out of the deal and, most importantly, charting a focused course on how to get there from here and implementing it.
The purpose of this blog is to provide you as much support as possible in defining yourself as a strategic business professional, a designer and an individual who's all about making a difference in your company not only by producing well designed deliverables, but also by changing the way your co-workers interact and partner with you and each other. The door is open to effect real change in the way our organizations organize themselves. Are you grown up enough to grab the knob and walk inside?
HOW encourages lively, informative and respectful dialogue. Please do not engage in malicious attacks on individuals or organizations. For more details on proper response etiquette please read our Response Guidelines.
