7. Creating contact sheets
7. Creating contact sheets
What if you want to share what you are looking at in Bridge with somebody else? You could take a screen shot of it but it would be nice if you could actually make a contact sheet, something that would have each of these images in a larger size, maybe with a little header and footer. Now one issue with Bridge CS4 is that inexplicably, Adobe decided not to include the wonderful contact sheet script that used to appear here in the Tools menu under InDesign. In fact there is no scripting for InDesign at all and please go to the feature request form on Adobe's site and ask them to bring it back.
I can't tell you that the developer who actually wrote that script for Adobe has updated it for CS4 and is offering it for sale on his website for $25. Now, if you do a lot of contact sheets, it's actually quite worth this money and I have been talking with him. He might be releasing a version of the script for free but definitely get thee over to creativescripting.net if you are intere...

My client's using a theme that includes timthumb.php, which popped up in the quarantined files list on a recent complete scan but Anti-Malware didn't record it as a timthumb exploit. It's not in the quarantine folder, and I redownloaded timthumb from the google code site and renamed the original file. Everything's still working appropriately on the front end, but on a subsequent full scan it still shows up as quarantined (without actually having been quarantined).
We're running the current version of the plugin with current definitions.
Does this sound like a bug, or is there something else amiss with timthumb, as far as Anti-malware is concerned?

Services & Maintenance: Minimal Overhead
Facility managers can get maximum performance by choosing the best ceiling type for their spaces. From the May 2013 issue.
Services & Maintenance: Minimal Overhead
By Sean Browne
From the May 2013 issue of Today's Facility Manager
Regardless of whether the facility project at hand is an addition or the renovation of an existing space, selecting an appropriate ceiling system requires evaluation of a variety of factors. When selecting a ceiling, facility managers (fms) should begin with the considerations most important to the required performance in their buildings.
In many cases, visual criteria drive selection. And while visual criteria are key to the aesthetic needs of a space, it is the performance related criteria that are key to meeting the functional needs of the space.
In that regard, sound absorption and sound blocking are vital performance factors especially when dealing with commercial office space, healthcare, and educational facilities. With that in mind, there are some general guidelines fms can follow to ensure good acoustical performance in three types of spaces: closed plan, open plan, and exposed structure. It should also be noted that there are numerous options fms can implement to achieve both the desired visual and acoustical performance. There's no need to choose between the two.
Closed Plan Spaces
In closed plan spaces, such as conference rooms and executive offices, the main function of ceilings is to limit the transmission of sound between adjacent spaces, especially when the spaces share a common ceiling plenum. Achieving speech privacy between spaces is the goal.
If partition walls go all the way up to the deck, fms should consider ceiling panels that have a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.70 or higher. The NRC indicates the average percentage of sound that a ceiling absorbs. An NRC of 0.70 means the ceiling absorbs 70% of the sound that strikes it.
If partition walls only go up to the ceiling, and not to the deck, fms will want to select ceiling panels with an NRC of 0.60 to 0.70 and a Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC) of 35 to 40. This combination of NRC and CAC provides speech privacy along with improved sound quality within the space. Fms should choose the lower ratings if sound masking is used; the higher ratings, if not used.
The CAC indicates the ability of a ceiling to block sound from penetrating a shared plenum and transmitting to an adjacent space. The higher the number, the better the ceiling performs as a barrier to sound.
Open Plan Spaces
In open plan spaces, the main function of the ceiling is to absorb sound that would normally bounce off surfaces and travel into nearby spaces or cubicles. To achieve sound control and reduce distractions, fms will want to choose ceiling panels featuring an NRC of 0.80 or higher and an Articulation Class (AC) of 170 or higher.
The AC indicates the ability of a ceiling to absorb sound in the human speech frequency range that passes over open plan dividers. The higher the AC, the better the ceiling performs as a sound absorber between open plan areas. For knowledge workers, choose an AC 200 or higher; for clerical workers, choose an AC 170 or higher.
Exposed Structure Spaces
Exposed structure spaces are those that have no ceiling and reveal building service elements such as ductwork and piping. This design style can exacerbate noise issues due to sound reflecting off the deck, resulting in excessive reverberation.
Any large space of this type will usually need some sound absorbing elements to help control noise and reverberation. In addition, if the exposed deck is less than 15′ high, reflections between open plan cubicles can cause distractions for occupants.
Noise issues related to exposed structure designs can be addressed with a number of different sound absorbing elements. Installing a low profile, discontinuous, high NRC system tight to the deck, for example, will maintain the exposed structure aesthetic while providing excellent sound absorption.
The system can be installed directly to an exposed deck (to maximize ceiling height), onto drywall, or suspended with wires. For example, if panels with an NRC of 0.90 are installed over only 20% of an exposed deck space, it can reduce reverberation up to 50%.
"Free Floating" Options
Acoustical clouds, canopies, baffles, and blades—four types of "free floating" ceilings—are another way of adding sound absorption in an open plenum space while allowing for the exposed look. Each of these options absorbs sound on both front and back surfaces. As a result, these actually provide greater sound absorption than a continuous ceiling of the same surface area.
Acoustical clouds suspended above work areas provide a type of interrupted ceiling plane. As such, they help control both reflections between cubicles and distant reverberation, reducing occupant annoyance and distractions.
Acoustical canopies also reduce noise and reverberation in the space below them, but are different in size and appearance compared to acoustical clouds. Visually, clouds are flat, while canopies are curved and can be installed as hills or valleys. Meanwhile, baffles and blades are suspended vertically creating an interesting visual and provide substantial sound absorption.
Replacement And Disposal
Regardless of the type of space, at some point fms need to replace the ceiling panels in their facilities. Damage from water stains, even from a small intermittent source, can ruin panels. Dirt accumulation—perhaps from air diffusers—is another common cause for replacement. Panel damage not only detracts from appearance but can also cause a reduction in light reflectance and acoustic efficiency.
Replacing ceiling panels is relatively easy through a ceiling distributor. To replace damaged panels, fms need to remove a damaged panel to access the manufacturer, panel name, and item number on the back side. Using that information, a distributor can assist fms in obtaining the proper replacements.
Finally, when an acoustical ceiling is at the end of its useful life, fms should consider recycling the materials—rather than disposing of them in a way where they will end up in a landfill. The first ceiling recycling program in the industry was introduced in 1999, and it enables fms to ship ceilings from renovation projects to a ceilings plant as an alternative to landfill disposal. The discarded ceilings are then used to manufacture new ceilings.
Ceiling panels removed from a space are either stacked on a pallet and wrapped for delivery to the ceilings plant, or dumped into a roll-off container and collected by a construction and demolition processor that will bale the tiles for delivery.
Since this program began, more than 123 million square feet of ceiling panels have been recycled. That's equal to 16,000 roll-off containers full of construction debris that would have normally been taken to landfills.

General Information
January 16, 2011
By: Douglas J. Elliott and Robert E. Litan
Certain financial institutions are so central to the American financial system that their failure could cause traumatic damage, both to financial markets and to the larger economy. These institutions are often referred to as "systemically important financial institutions" or SIFIs. Among its numerous provisions, the Dodd-Frank Act, the comprehensive reform legislation signed into law during the summer of 2010, requires financial regulators belonging to the Financial Stability Oversight Committee (FSOC) [1] to designate those financial institutions that are systemically important.[2] Such SIFIs are to be supervised more closely and potentially required to operate with greater safety margins, such as higher levels of capital, and to face further limitations on their activities.
Dodd-Frank designated all commercial banking groups with $50 billion or more in assets as SIFIs, but left the decision about which non-bank financial institutions should receive that designation up to the FSOC, with advice from the Federal Reserve Board (Fed).
This policy brief is intended to assist the Fed and the FSOC with this difficult task. We pay particular attention to the risks of including too many or too few institutions as SIFIs, as well as touching on the related risks of over- or under-regulating SIFIs. As with so many issues related to financial regulation, the key is to strike the right balance, allowing financial institutions to respond as they see fit to market forces and customer demands, except where there is a true public interest in constraining that response.

Westfield Sydney launches new app "Eat on Time"
- August 25, 2014
Shopping centre company Westfield has launched a mobile phone app that allows diners to pre-order and pay for their food purchases. Diners can then skip the queue when they pick up orders from 17 retailers in Westfield Sydney's food court including Din Tai Fung, Charlie and Co, Chat Thai and Snag Stand.
Developed by Westfield Labs and currently piloting at Westfield San Francisco, Westfield Sydney is the first Australian centre to trial the app. If the trial is successful, use of the app may be expanded to other Westfield locations across Australia.
Westfield Sydney is operated by the Scentre Group, which was formed when Westfield Retail Trust merged with Westfield Group's Australian and New Zealand businesses on 20 June 2014 to form a new entity.
"Thousands of people buy their lunch at Westfield Sydney each week," said John Batistich, Director Marketing at Scentre Group. "Our research found that 84 per cent of city workers hate to queue and we're confident Eat on Time will improve the dining experience for shoppers and give them back a few extra minutes to enjoy their lunch break," he said.
"Eat on Time offers a diverse range of cuisine from premium food retailers and a technology solution for shoppers that allows for a quick, easy and convenient food experience," Mr Batistich said. "This is another step towards better connecting shoppers with our malls and retailers, across any digital device at any time," he said.
Research conducted by the Scentre Group found that workers spend on average one third of their 36-minute lunchbreak waiting for food. The Scentre Group said the Eat on Time app was designed to help people save time, avoid queues and "bring lunch-hour joy". The Scentre Group survey also revealed that:
- Four in ten admit to saying something they regret at work when in a 'hangry' (anger and short temperedness caused by being hungry) state
- One third of survey respondents think about paying someone to get ahead in the lunch line
- 90 per cent of those surveyed report having a better day if they eat a meal they really want
- One quarter of people consider lying about a medical condition to jump ahead of others
About the study
Westfield commissioned research included in this release through independent research agency, Lonergan with a sample of 507 Sydney CBD workers aged 18-64 years old who buy their lunch at a take away restaurant at least once a month. Fieldwork commenced on Wednesday 2 July and was completed on Wednesday 9 July 2014.

The 23 minute long sound collage premiered August 30th 2013 in Århus, Denmark. This is the first of four parts of 'Lyden af København'. To listen to it in its entirety you will have to travel to Aarhus. There will be a listening station in the foyer of Musikhuset where the piece can be listened to in full from August 30th to September 8th in the opening hours of the concert hall. DR Kunstklub organised the collection of sounds that we have used. In May and June anyone could contribute with their own recordings of various sounds of Copenhagen. We received the sound files beginning of July and with Mads at the steering wheel we have created this 23 minute long sound collage. The artwork for 'Lyden af København' is made by Stephanie F. Scholz . It will be printed on a postcard which will be distributed during the festival.

Massive Mike the Labrador placed on strict diet after weighing in at NINE STONE at the age of just three
- Labrador Mike was taken to the Dogs Trust in Loughborough, Leicestershire, after his elderly owner passed away
- The Labrador tips the scales at 9st 5lbs - double what he should weigh
- Shocked staff have now put him on a 41-week plan to shed the pounds
An overweight Labrador has been put on an intensive weight loss regime after gorging on chicken dinners led to him ballooning to more than nine stone.
Labrador Mike shocked staff at the Dogs Trust when they discovered he tipped the scales at just under 60kg - 9st 5lbs - which is double what he should weigh.
Mike, who is just three-years-old, has now been placed on a strict calorie-controlled diet and it is hoped his strained joints will get some help from the centre's hydrotherapy pool - once he can fit into it.
Obese: Overweight Labrador Mike tips the scales at a staggering 60kg - 9st 5lbs - which is double what he should weigh
Weighing in: A stunned vet at the Dogs Trust in Loughborough, Leicestershire, puts Mike on the scales
Staff at the re-homing centre in Loughborough, Leicestershire, are currently taking Mike - who weighs more than famous singers Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lopez - for three short walks a day.
Mike can currently only walk around 100 metres before getting out of breath. But staff hope this will improve as he loses weight.
The 41-week plan is aimed at helping him lose one per cent of his body weight a week before reaching an initial target weight of 35kg.
It is hoped Mike - who currently weighs the same as 150 tins of dog food - can eventually slim down to around 30-32kg which is a healthy size for a Labrador.
The Labrador, whose elderly owner recently passed away, is joined at the centre by his brother Bud, who weighs 44kg, but they have to be fed their restricted calorie dog food separately in case Mike helps himself to his brother's.
Unhealthy: Mike's shocking weight - which is around the same as 150 tins of dog food - is putting strain on his joints and organs
Hard work: Mike can only walk around 100 metres before he gets out of breath and needs a rest
Ella Tonge, Dogs Trust Loughborough Supporter Relations Officer: 'Mike is the largest dog we have had at Dogs Trust Loughborough.
'His diet had basically been full chicken dinners and other human-based food. He will eat pretty much anything.
'But we know that with some attention and a very strict diet we can help him shed those pounds.
'He now eats two small meals of restricted calorie dog food a day and we take him for three short walks.
'We are hoping hydrotherapy will help him lose some weight a little bit quicker by releasing some of the strain on his joint, but unfortunately he's too large for the tank at the moment.'
Calorie counting: Mike, pictured with Dogs Trust staff member Kate Hansell, has now been placed on a 41-week plan with a strict calorie controlled diet to help him lose the weight
Contrasting physiques: Golden Labrador Mike, who weighs nearly 60kg, looks significantly larger than black Labrador Rory, pictured left, who weighs a healthy 24kg at The Dog's Trust in Loughborough
She added: 'He is such a loveable dog. None of us have seen a dog so overweight. He wants to play with everyone so we feel sorry for him that he can't yet.
'His plight highlights the danger of over-feeding your pet and even worse feeding them a human diet.
'What is fine for us to eat is not for them, especially when combined with very little exercise.'
Once Mike is re-homed - the new owners will need to have room for both Mike and Bud - he will return to Dogs Trust Loughborough for weigh-ins every two weeks to make sure he's still on the right track.
Paws for thought: Dogs Trust Veterinary Director Paula Boyden hopes Mike's case will show other dog owners how it important it is to feed their pet appropriate food
Looking for a new home: When Mike is a healthy weight the Dogs Trust will help him find a new home with his brother Bud who weighs 44kg
Dogs Trust Veterinary Director Paula Boyden said: 'The concern with Mike is the strain this excess weight is putting on his body, particularly his heart and joints.
'Human food is not an ideal balanced diet for your dog.
'Treats and special meals should be dog friendly, occasional and certainly not a replacement for his regular diet.
'Such treats are often highly calorific so if you are giving to your dog, reduce his daily meal portions accordingly.'
Information on Mike and other dogs at Loughborough can be found at www.dogstrust.org.uk or they are on Twitter at @DT_Loughborough.
Keeping on track: Once he has been re-homed, Mike will continue to visit the Dogs Trust in Loughborough every two weeks for weigh-ins to make sure he stays a healthy weight

The United Arab Emirates' Economy Ministry has published new rules allowing firms in the Gulf Arab state to use existing shares when listing on local exchanges or raising fresh equity capital, a move likely to boost private equity in the country.Under a July 1 ministerial resolution on firms converting to public joint stock companies, founders of a company can list shares through a sell down of a certain percentage of their existing stock.Included is a provision reducing the minimum free float required in IPOs to 30 percent from the current 55 percent on UAE exchanges.

Will be interesting these these next few weeks as we have 2 days before the trade deadline. We are shopping Dixon, Asomugha and Baldwin. Doesn't seem likely one of them gets traded or us bringing in a WR but who knows. Then after that get to look forward to who gets cut when Wright, Manningham, Tank, Moody and Crabtree come back. I'd say the 1st 4 should be done before the Panthers game. Crabtree will be after. So we should have 4 cuts coming up in this bye week.
Anyways, hopefully everyone rests up and takes it easy. A ton of players need the rest. With the Panthers, at Saints and at Redskins will be 3 tough games and a long road trip as well.

By definition, "evanescence" means a dissipation or disappearance like vapor.
Since The Open Door release, Evanescence has performed in front of more than one million fans in more than 25 countries.
Anywhere But Home, Evanescence's 2004 live DVD release has sold over one million copies to date.
Their song "Bring Me To Life" was used for the Without a Trace episode entitled, "Exposure". It was the theme to WWE No Way Out, 2003. The song also featured on the Daredevil soundtrack, as well as their song "My Immortal", both off their 2003 album, Fallen.
The Latin chanting in the song "Field of Innocence" is translated as: "Oh Jesus, King Most wonderful! Thou conqueror renowned! Thou sweetness most ineffable! In whom all joys are found!"
"Even In Death" was the first song Evanescence ever sang live on radio.
The film Romeo and Juliet was the inspiration for the song "Anywhere". Ex-Guitarist, Ben Moody, said in an interview that this is one of his least favourite Evanescence songs.
The members of Evanescence nicknamed their guitarist, Terry Balsamo, "Banana Baggins" or "T Baggins". Terry was originally from Alternative Rock band, Cold. He suffered a stroke just before Evanescence's Fallen tour.
Evanescence won the International Group/Duo of the Year Award at the 2007 NRJ Awards.
In the song "Whisper" off the album Fallen, the phrase "Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum" is repeated at the end. This is latin, and roughly means "Save us from danger, save us from evil".
Paul McCoy, from the band 12 Stones, featured in the chorus of Evanescence's first hit song, "Bring Me To Life".
In the song "Haunted", off their album Fallen, a faint beep can be heard in the background, which represents the girl's heartbeat.
The music video for the song "Good Enough" was filmed in Budapest, Hungary in May of 2007.
Their song "Tourniquet" is based on the song "My Tourniquet" by Soul Embraced.
Amy Lee's sisters, Carrie and Lori, performed the backing vocals in the song "Call Me When You're Sober".
Evanescence's second hit album, The Open Door, went platinum in the United States, in only a month. In one week it sold 4 times as many copies as their first album, Fallen.
"Your Star" was written in Lisbon. When Amy's at home, she can see the stars, but when she went to Lisbon, she couldn't see them.
The word "Lacrymosa" means 'relating to sadness'. Their song "Lacrymosa", is a cover of Mozart's "Lacrimosa".
The song "Cloud Nine" is about breaking up.
"Like You", off their most recent album The Open Door, is about committing suicide to join a loved one who has recently passed away, in this case Amy's younger sister. This is the second known song Amy Lee has written about suicide.
Ex-drummer, Rocky Gray, is married and has two kids named Abe and Madison. Ex-guitarist, John LeCompt has a wife named Shelly and a daughter named Bethanie.
When Amy was a teenager, her mother was worried about Amy's sinister song lyrics and suggested she try counselling. Only recently has Amy taken up this offer.
During the filming of "Call Me When You're Sober", an unrelated protest shut down the streets that surround the theatre they were filming at, and the police riot squad had to inform the band and crew members not to leave the building until tensions settled.
The track "Anything For You" is the fastest Evanescence song, in terms of tempo.
Amy Lee features in the song "Broken" by Seether. This may or may not have led to her relationship with Seether's lead vocalist, Shaun Morgan.
Amy Lee was meeting a few of her friends at a restaurant when a guy she barely knew looked into her eyes and asked her "Are you happy?". She knew that she truly wasn't, and those simple words really struck her. That is how the opening lines to the song "Bring Me To Life", "how can you see into my eyes like open doors..." came about.
Amy Lee was president of the choir council her senior year. She was an alto, but could also do soprano. She wrote a choir arrangement called "Listen to the Rain" which was performed by the school choir at graduation, and later released as an Evanescence outtake.
After Amy Lee's 3-year-old sister's tragic death, Amy wrote a song called "Hello" and released it on their album, Fallen. It's so personal that she says she can't perform it live at concerts because she'll go into a serious breakdown.
Their song "Tourniquet" off the album Fallen, is about suicide.
In the beginning of the music video for "Bring Me To Life", we see Amy sleeping, and she wakes up when the music starts. She climbs up a building, towards the music playing through a window. When Paul McCoy sees her, Amy falls and he tries to catch her, but lets go because he can't pull her inside the window.
The music video for "Going Under" takes place mostly underwater.
The music video for "My Immortal" was shot entirely in black and white.
Evanescence was told that adding a permanent rapper to the band was their only chance to reach success.
Their single "Going Under" appeared in the Atari and Shiny Entertainment video game, Enter The Matrix.
The music videos for "Bring Me To Life" and "Going Under" were both directed by the award-winning director Philipp Stolzi.
Musical discography:
Origin(2002), 11 tracks
Fallen(2003), 12 tracks
The Open Door (2006), 13 tracks
Evanescence (2011),12 tracks
In Febuary 2004, they won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance for "Bring Me To Life".
Their debut album Fallen is 6x platinum. It sold over 14 million copies worldwide.
Against the band's wishes, "Missing", "Farther Away" and "Breathe No More" were removed from the final Fallen album before its release. "Missing" and "Farther Away" are available as bonus tracks on singles, while "Breathe No More" is available on the Elektra soundtrack.
The band went by several short-lived names, including "Striken" and "Childish Intentions", before choosing "Evanescence".
Evanescence EP, Whisper EP / Sound Asleep EP, and Origin were all released by "BigWig Enterprises". The rest were released by "Wind-Up Records".
Amy: "Call Me When You're Sober" says something that's impossible to hide from. I'm stuck with everyone knowing exactly what I'm talking about. And if there's consequences for that, which there are, then I have to face them. But it's true, and it really happened, and it meant so much to me and felt so good to just blurt it out that it was worth it. And I think it's a really great song and I'm really proud of it.
Amy [on the song "Sweet Sacrifice"]: It's the one song on The Open Door that's about the same abusive relationship which was the source of all the songs on Fallen. It was appropriate to put this song at the beginning, but it comes from a much stronger standpoint than Fallen. It's not saying, "I'm trapped in fear and somebody save me." It's saying, "Fear is only in our minds ... I'm not afraid anymore."
Amy [on the making of the video "Sweet Sacrifice"]: It's mostly live performance. It's not so much fluff and flying and tricks and wolves and stuff. It's more really just about the song, and that is unique for us. We usually do crazy stuff. It's gonna be sort of like a video within the video. Since the song is our heaviest single, we really wanted to focus on mostly performance but still have something about it that's really unique. And I think [Paul] really hit the nail on the head.
Amy (on the song "Good Enough"): I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. That's really hard. You have to be really brave and strong about it. After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever.
Amy: (on Evanescence's new album, "The Open Door") In the first week, it sold four times as many as "Fallen" did. So I think it really pays to write for yourself and not worry about what people are going to think of you.
Amy: (on Evanescence's new album, "The Open Door") With "Fallen", we had to break into the industry and have the biggest hit single ever. There was so much pressure from the label and the diff things that Ben and I wanted. This time there wasn't any. It was completely hands off. We just made an album and had a great time doing it. I remember the whole time thinking 'I don't care if no one buys this album. I just want to make the best album in the world for me.'
Amy: (when asked if she still keeps it contact with former Evanescence guitarist, Ben Moody) No, screw that guy! We're not friends, it ended pretty badly. I feel like our lives, at least mine, are way better without it. Is that really cruel?
Amy: (on "Fallen"'s success) It makes me feel like I did a good job. It makes me feel like I'm glad that a lot of people like our music. It was never about worldwide success or domination for me. People wonder why I'm not jumping up and down excited like "I'm a millionaire!" It's not like that. I just wanted to make music, so I'm happy.
Amy: We're definitely a rock band, but the twist is that the band's music is epic, dramatic, dark rock.
Ben Moody: We have the same exact vision regarding what we love about music. When it comes to songwriting, we finish each other's thoughts.
Ben Moody: A lot of it developed by being elusive. The second song we ever wrote was this seven minute, ridiculous Goth anthem called 'Understanding', and for some reason, the local rock station decided to play it a lot. We gained this popularity around town, even though no one knew who we were or where to find us. It was because we could never afford to play a show - it was just Amy and I - and we couldn't pay any musicians.
Amy: I'm glad that people are accepting our music and are connected to our art. Whether we're popular or not, I don't care.
Amy: The fact that [Ben Moody] left the band, it wasn't like it killed me and hurt my feelings and made me feel like I lost a friend, it was actually more of a relief because he'd been so unhappy on tour recently that it was making everyone else unhappy. We all hope he's happier now.
Amy: If there's anything I've learned, I don't really know and anything can happen.
Amy: I think that our lyrics are defintely dark, but I know for a fact that we pull our inspiration from a million different influences. We listened to everything growing up. Our music isn't just 'opera metal' or 'gothic pop' it's just Evanescence.
Amy: There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience.
Amy: People were finding the band pretty much on their own. Who would we be without the fans? Nobody.
Amy: It's really bizarre when you think about it. Obviously I've always thought we were good enough - I love our music and I love our band - but I never thought it would happen on this scale. I look at my face on the album cover sometimes and I wonder if it's really me.
Amy: We love what we do, and I think that comes through, we definitely try to put that in our music. It's real, honest and genuine. We're not just trying to sell records, it comes from the heart. Of all of us.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
How smart of Random House Audio to hire as a reader noted British stage and television actress Fielding, whose prowess brings to life Rimington's own stint as director of the British spy outfit called MI5. (If Remington were brought to the screen, Judi Dench would play her as she plays M in the recent James Bond movies.) With perfect British reserve, Fielding catches the hard-driving Liz Carlyle-Rimington's alter ego-without sacrificing any of Carlyle's energy or excitement. Fielding does the same cool job on all the other characters, from an Islamic bookseller nicknamed Marzipan (no jokes about him being a sweet guy: he's not) to Liz's young assistant, Peggy Kinsolving. This well-edited abridgment cleverly removes some of the book's talkier sections. The result is a perfect choice for listeners who love political thrillers but have only a limited time to enjoy them. A simultaneous release with the Knopf hardcover (Reviews, Apr. 30).

From Booklist
Rimington, the former head of Britain's MI5, follows up her spy-novel debut, At Risk (2005), with this fast-moving thriller. We rejoin intelligence officer Liz Carlyle as she gets a hot tip that a terrorist cell is operating in London. But before she can begin her investigation, Liz is pulled off the case by her boss, the director of counter terrorism, who blindsides her with a startling revelation: there is a mole in British Intelligence. Racing against time to expose the traitor before he (or she?) can reveal more secrets, Liz realizes that her colleagues' success in busting the new terrorist cell may depend on how fast she can accomplish her mission. Rimington continues to deliver on the promise of spy fiction written not only by a former spy but also by the head of British intelligence. This is a smartly constructed, sharply written thriller that exudes realism and a professional's eye for detail. More surprisingly, Rimington also proves adept at building characters and constructing plots. David Pitt

As former head of MI5, she write real spy stories. You can feel it. The plot is tight and has no "artifice" (like unexpected twists in the plot) and her heroes are truly human.
I also like the fact to see how two seemingly unrelated plots merge together.
But... the ending is like "too real", as in it probably what would happen in real life but I kind of read books to get away from real life...
I read her two first books and will probably not repeat.
Sorry Stilla.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
The characters are great and the story cracks along at a terrific pace. There are the usual twists and turns, and although I did guess who the mole was about half way through, there was always the chance that I was wrong (!) and it did nothing to spoil my enjoyment of the book.
Rimington also adds in some nice touches. Even characters who are only bit part players are well drawn and we find out small details about their lives and why they were in that place at that time.
If this is the kind of thing you usually enjoy then buy it! Safe houses, surveillance techniques, the inner workings of the terrorist mind, IRA informers.....this book has it all.
And that brings me to the one problem. Rimington doesn't end well. In her first novel, she practically threw up her hands and offered the reader an explosive version of "whatever." Here she spends more time and ink, but it is still a weak ending for such a strong narrative.
But it's well worth your time and pocket change: lots of British-isms for Anglophiles.
somewhat along the lines of P.D.James style .
Sorry i finished the book.

Olympus E-30 DSLR camera
Excellent image quality, good ergonomics, menu system, comprehensive and creative feature set, customisability, super control panel, top plate display, responsive, good dust reduction system, handling
Bulky for a FourThirds Format camera! Viewfinder slightly blurry, not much more detail than E-3's 10MP sensor, comprehensive feature set means complex menus
Olympus' first and newest pro-consumer DSLR, the E-30, sits beneath the E-3, sat at the top of the Olympus FourThirds System range and above the E-520 and more effectively bridges a gap for Olympus aficionados between the keen snappers and enthusiasts.
The E-30 looks similar to the E-3 but lacks the weather sealing and ruggedised build of the pro model, the E-30 sporting a well crafted and sculpted hand grip on a surprisingly large body, more or less as big as the E-3.
But the E-30 sports a few new features the E-3 would be proud to have within its toughened body. For a start the sensor has a new 12.3-megapixel LiveMOS sensor so the first thing to say is yes, you get Live View (more on this later) and the second is, despite the boost in resolution, image quality in terms of noise remains impressive.
However it has to be said, there's not much difference from the E-3 in terms of captured detail with basic kit lenses. Use some of Olympus' higher specified lenses and you can get more out of the new chip.
Another feature is the multi-angle, 2.7-inch HyperCrystal II colour LCD that can rotate and swivel to help get a good view even when you would not normally be able to see through the viewfinder. The semi-transmissive screen allows some ambient light through to be reflected back out to help boost brightness and save battery power.
The screen is clear and easy to use though the 230k-pixel resolution is standard fare for cameras at this level. Nevertheless, in bright light the screen is usable in Live View mode and when displaying the Super Control Panel. This is an interactive menu screen for direct and a fast access to controls otherwise only accessed via menus.
Control is enabled by a press of the back plate "OK" button and you can scroll through the options and adjust them accordingly from the back of the camera and using the four-way jog buttons and "OK" button.
Part of this camera's remit is to give enthusiast users photographic features galore and as we'll see, this it does. However a downside is the complexity this forces within the menu system, where you get to play with all the options.
Almost every setting, default or not, can have it's values tweaked and cajoled into a form you might prefer. How Olympus squares an ever increasing feature set and the inevitable complexity that this entails with usability is a thorny issue as, even though I knew what I was doing, delving into the menus and their many controls can seem a little intimidating.
Some form of help system might be a way forward or carrying the manual with you is another, but make no mistake there's a vast amount of customisability on offer and luckily you can save the settings you pick as "My" modes, so you don't have to try to remember a preferred setup once you've configured the camera.
The E-30 also boasts a set of much talked about Art Filters within the Scene modes that can be thought of as basic, image editing effects built into the camera. Art filters provide a range of effects from black and white grainy film, soft focus and pinhole camera modes to pop art and light tone settings.
At first you might wonder why they're there but I found each a rather exciting way to play with my snaps and because you can shoot RAW and JPEG at the same time, you still have a digital negative to use without the Art Filter effects applied; a nice touch.
Other clever features include a built-in level guide that provides an active display to get the camera level, important for preventing slopping horizons in landscape shots, for example. But arguably more powerful, is the camera ability to shoot multi aspect ratios for each image. The default 4:3 ratio uses all the pixels while 3:4, 7:5, 6:5, 7:6, 3:2, 16:9, 6:6 and 5:4 ratio crops all nibble off pixels in order to achieve the crop.
Disappointingly, the viewfinder does not display any newly selected ratio, but thankfully, the Live View mode does display the crop in use, so becomes essential when tinkering with the image ratio control.
In terms of handling, the deep hand grip hides the combined CF and xD memory card slots and beneath the PS-BLM-1 lithium-ion battery pack, gives holding the camera a reassuringly safe feel, the top plate has a backlit data LCD that's excellent to use and backs up the LCD if, say, you're using it for the level indication for example.
A mode dial provides the usual P, S, A and M modes, five scene modes and the Art Filter access position that also allows you to get into another 11 scene modes. The shutter release is joined by direct controls for ISO, exposure compensation and white balance settings; a press of the relevant button and a spin of one of the two control dials allows for fast adjustment.
Ditto the direct buttons for the excellent optical image stabilisation, which provides around four stops of advantage, auto exposure and focus lock, AF mode control (more on this shortly) and AF point selection and there's a Fn (Function) button that can be assigned a variety of tasks from depth of field preview to fast switching My modes.
The TTL Phased detection AF setup can be used with a contrast detect system or a hybrid of both in Live View and similar to that on the E-3 (like much of the E-30) and provides 11 cross type AF zones selectable individually or all together or in groups. It's a fast and accurate setup and much improved over the three zone focus systems deployed in the company's previous E bodies such as the earlier E-510 and E-520. Oh! And yes, you do get Face Detection AF as well.
You get a 5fps continuous shooting mode too while shooting both fine JPEGs and RAWs, making the camera more than adequate for fleeting moments as well as the more studied approach of a social photographer.
One of the other outstanding features on the E-30 is the metering system, which has a level of subtlety and control not easily appreciated at first. Evaluative, centre-weighted and spot are joined by high and low key presets which provides a great level of creative control, the centre-weighted setup performing about the best overall.
In fact, like the Art Filters, playing with the metering and its creative potential is all part of the fun of the E-30 and makes using it a joy as does some other neat kit.
Other advanced features include a dedicated X-sync flash socket for studio flash and wireless flash control over the Olympus FL-36R and FL-50R flashguns, these sit alongside Olympus' renowned dust removal system that helps keep dust and dirt off the sensor after lens changes.
In terms of weight, at 655g, body only, it's significantly lighter than the E-3 at 855g, but that's largely because the camera lacks the E-3's ruggedised bodywork and weatherproofing. Nevertheless the camera is sturdy to hold and reassuringly creak free, a combination that makes it eminently usable.
A couple of things did give cause for concern however: the built-in flash is a little underpowered with a GN of just 13 at ISO 100. In practice, anything over about 5 feet away quickly suffered from flash fall off.
The viewfinder also had me scratching my head a little, since no matter what I did with the dioptre control, I could not get a perfectly clear view, particularly of the information displayed inside, which seemed blurred all the time.
On a more positive note, something Olympus has improved over the E-3 is noise control and processing. With a sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 3200, the camera produces perfectly acceptable images, in terms of noise up to ISO 800, up to ISO 1600 things are still very good but above here and noise does start to become noticeable.
Other image quality parameters, such as white balance and colour, are both very good with only auto white balance leaving a little to be desired under mixed lighting indoors. Of course, like everything else on the E-30, you can adjust colour performance and even use a set of picture modes (vivid, portrait, muted and natural, plus a custom mode) if needs be.
Captured detail is good with the 14-54mm, F2.8-F3.5 zoom lens used for this test, some of the less accomplished kit lenses might not produce as crisp a result but compared with the E-3, disappointingly, there's not that much more detail captured here.
The E-30 provides a level of control and features most professional level DSLRs would appreciate and at a great price too. True, the resolution might look a tad limiting now both Nikon, canon and Sony have 20-megapixel plus models out there, but you cannot argue with this camera's feature set and price otherwise.
Add in the FourThirds system provides for more compact lenses and the fact that the bE-30m produces some superb results and overall this is certainly a excellent camera particularly for those already in the FourThirds system looking to trade up, but don't need the ruggedness of the E-3 as well.

Lytro, Inc. revealed today its powerful vision for the future of photography with the unveiling of LYTRO ILLUM, a light field camera and software platform designed to redefine the way we portray the world around us. Built to harness the full power of the light field, the professional-grade LYTRO ILLUM will give photographers a new medium capable of capturing visual experiences in their purest form — not as a static cross-section of reality, but an authentic, interactive window into their world.
The camera paves the way for an immersive brand of storytelling in which images can be brought to life in multiple dimensions through Light Field Photography — a transformative new category that empowers artistic creation and expression beyond what is possible in the 2D world of digital and film. In capturing the color, intensity and direction of every light ray flowing into the camera, LYTRO ILLUM provides a massive amount of visual information that allows photographers to recreate sights and scenes on a truly experiential canvas.
"With LYTRO ILLUM, creative pioneers — ranging from artistic amateurs to experienced professionals — will tap into a new wave of graphical storytelling. Now artist and audience alike can share an equally intimate connection with the imagery, and, in a sense, jointly participate in the magic of its creation," said Lytro CEO Jason Rosenthal. "By combining a novel hardware array with tremendous computational horsepower, this camera opens up unprecedented possibilities to push the boundaries of creativity beyond the limits inherent in digital or film photography."
To enable such rich, layered compositions, LYTRO ILLUM delivers unparalleled optical versatility by merging custom-built hardware with a powerful software platform. The camera offers a 40-megaray light field sensor, 8x optical zoom range, constant f/2.0 aperture and a high-speed shutter capable of freezing motion under a wide variety of conditions. After image capture, the innovative software platform empowers photographers to adjust aspects of images that were previously fixed, such as focus, tilt, perspective shift and depth of field, which allows the photographer to create images that will resonate for the viewer not just in one dimension, but in every dimension.
"My photography style pushes me to look for ways to tell a more compelling story with every image. LYTRO ILLUM gave me that ability by incorporating an interactive element that captures different visual touch points at every depth," said Kyle Thompson, a Chicago-based photographer known for his surreal conceptual style and one of the early users of the camera. "With LYTRO ILLUM, I've been able to make a multi-dimensional image with more perspectives to explore."
LYTRO ILLUM's totally unique photographic experience reflects the technological revolution around virtual reality and 3D graphics as powerful new storytelling formats in the Digital Age. In the hands of creative pioneers, the camera is a catalyst for a transformational shift in which the world will increasingly look for opportunities to craft a more immersive artistic experience.
"Light Field Photography is following the classic pattern for a transformational concept," said Lytro Founder Dr. Ren Ng. "The original Lytro camera, which launched in 2012, introduced an entirely new era in photography. LYTRO ILLUM will advance this movement to a new level. We are very excited by the potential of this camera to ignite a photography revolution on the magnitude of the transformation from film to digital."
In addition to enabling post-capture image adjustments, LYTRO ILLUM's proprietary software platform enables users to view images in 3D, build custom animations, export images into common formats like JPEG, and share to the Web or mobile devices. LYTRO ILLUM's workflow is also compatible with existing photo-editing suites like Adobe's Photoshop and Lightroom software and Apple's Aperture software, allowing creative pioneers to use the tools they already know and love.
LYTRO ILLUM Availability
The LYTRO ILLUM camera will ship starting July 2014 for a retail price of $1,599.
As part of the launch, Lytro is offering a variety of exclusive opportunities to those who pre-order the camera before July 15. In addition to receiving a specially engraved LYTRO ILLUM for a special introductory price of $1,499 and an extended two-year warranty, they'll be eligible to join an inner circle of Lytro users with insider access to product development insight and support. Even after the product ships, this nucleus of early adopters will continue to receive ground-floor insight and training from the Lytro team, with opportunities to contribute to exclusive developmental projects.
As part of their status as early adopters, individuals who pre-order will have the opportunity to submit their own photo series to earn a spot in the Ultimate Lytro Photo Experience — a once-in-a-lifetime trip to shoot alongside a prominent photographer on an all-expense paid photo shoot. The Lytro team and this pro photographer partner will be on hand to provide high-caliber, hands-on training and practice for getting the most out of LYTRO ILLUM. As the larger photography community gets acquainted with this new style of digital art, these early adopters will have an inside edge on techniques for producing cutting-edge Light Field Photography.
