Thank you Apple!
Too little and far too late ... I've abandoned Aperture for Lightroom nearly 6 months ago due to the non existent support for Fuji RAW files.
I hear that. Had the same dilemma 2-3 years ago, resorted to LR to get by while I waited, and Ap slowly fell out of favor. No regrets, though it's a darn shame.
It's about time... too bad I returned that X20 because of lack of raw support on Aperture...
Quick, go buy it back !!!
If that was the only reason you returned it, buy it back !
What about support for the Sigma Merrill Cameras (SD1M, DP1M, DP2M, and DP3M) ?
What about them ? (Who cares, Sigma didn't even sell a full box of those!)
I don't know about them not selling, I saw a guy here (Japan) wearing all three DPs on different length straps
Just looked at it, very impressive first attempt. I prefer the Aperture workflow and it is good enough to work with. Thanks Apple!
I tried and the output result is mixed. While I like the color rendering on Aperture better than Lighroom, the detail suffers from color noise and other artifacts when viewed at the pixel level.
Adobe took many months to get it right, so I hope Apple keeps improving the algorithm. I think I'll hold on to Lightroom a little longer.

With 1.49 billion monthly active users, Facebook is now the largest social network in the world that serves over 968 million active users every day. Facebook is not just a tool for connecting with your friends and family, it's also known as the paradise for marketers and advertisers.
Today, almost every business and brand has a Facebook page. It's a low-cost marketing strategy that makes things easier for the companies to connect with their customers, answer their questions, generate traffic to websites and raise more awareness for the brand.
Social Media marketing is one of the best ways of driving traffic to websites and promoting new products. Marketers use several social platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Vine for their promotional campaigns. But, what's so special about Facebook?
Unlike traditional advertising on television and newspapers, massive social networks such as Facebook gives marketers a unique chance to reach a specific target audience and even customize their reach based on user's gender, age, education level and their interests.
This is why 42% of brands say that Facebook is critical to their business. Especially when they can spy on their competitors' Facebook pages and their marketing strategies very easily.
According to Facebook, local business Facebook Pages receive over 645 million views and 13 million comments on an average week. Mostly because people love to connect with the brands and companies they love. That's one of the reasons 47% of Americans say Facebook is their number one influencer of purchases.
Even though it can be very tempting to share random posts on your Facebook page every ten minutes, it's important that you understand your audience and what their interests are before start sharing any content. Otherwise, you will be spamming your followers' news feed and they will end up unfollowing your page. Make sure to follow these tips when marketing your business on Facebook.
Create a Schedule: Share posts at non-peak times. Between 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM is the best times to post on Facebook. Of course, it will depend on your location and your audience.
Don't Over Share: Six posts per the day is the ideal amount of content to share on Facebook. Share a mix of interesting content as well as your product promotions, including links to articles, interesting images, and fun videos.
Connect With Your Fans: Ask questions, create polls to learn about your followers' likes and encourage them to engage with your brand. This will help build a meaningful relationship between your company and your customers.
Give Out Free Stuff: Hold giveaway contests on your Facebook page to offer your fans a chance to participate in fun games. Show your fans how much you appreciate them.
Having more likes on your brand page is not just about showing off the numbers, it actually play a key role in influencing your followers. For example, if you have 500 likes and your competitor has 1000 likes, which page do you think people would trust the most? Yes, it will be the page with 1000 likes because this page will have more authority over your page.
Psychology also has a play here. Most people are strongly influenced by the popular brands and businesses that have thousands of likes on their Facebook pages. People perceive these brands as authoritative figures and tend to like, share and comment on their posts more than most other pages with fewer followers.
Your business will also have that kind of influencing power on Facebook by simply getting more Likes for your page, which will allow you to easily convince your followers to choose your product or service over any other in the market.
Besides, the main reason why a business opens a Facebook page is to reach a larger audience and potential customers. If your Facebook page has more likes, you'll have a better chance at attracting more customers.
Growing a new Facebook page can be tough, especially when it's related to a small business. At first, you'll probably get about 100 likes by inviting all your friends and family members to like the page. After that, it will take a few more months for you to reach 500 or more likes for your page. And to get there, you'll have to slave away hours of your time to find interesting photos, quotes, videos, and links to share with your fans and keep them engaged on your page.
Why waste your time and energy when you can buy likes at affordable prices and invest that time to do better things like running your company and creating new products instead.
Here are few more reasons to buy Likes for your Facebook page -:

Comments about Organically Grown Catnip:
I use the organic catnip to give small toys a catnip scent. By placing some catnip, and a few small toys, in a mason jar and shaking it up, then letting it sit for a couple of days, I always have catnip scented toys to give my cats. It makes them a little more playful with their toys, and with each other. Then, they mellow out for a while. An excellent diversion for them, when I need to get things done around the house without the help of my kitties! :-)

Are You Normal or Nuts? 2013 Edition
Calling all neurotics, paranoids, and phobics! Our panel of experts says you might not be as loony as you think in this fan-favorite feature.
The query: Why do I get so angry in an elevator when someone presses the button that I've already pressed?
The verdict: All too normal.
Content continues below ad
"What, I didn't press the button correctly?"
"Seriously, do you think pressing it again is going to make the elevator come faster?"
"Pressing the button—what a great idea! Why didn't I think of that?"
As you watch someone act as if he's got the only functioning brain cells left on the planet, "Sarcastic remarks go through your head," says Judi Cinéas, a therapist in Palm Beach, Florida. Those silent screams reflect a very normal reaction to being dissed.
What's wrong here is the idea that you were dissed. Most likely, says psychologist Michael Woodward, "it was a mindless action" on the button presser's part—sheer habit. The guy wasn't dissing you, because he wasn't even thinking about you.
"When we sit around thinking that everything everyone does is an affront to us, that's the problem," says Woodward.
A little self-centeredness is completely normal, shrinks agree. And it's especially understandable in the elevator-button scenario, because you're going to be stuck in close proximity to the very person disregarding you. But, says Cinéas, if you get to what might be called the Larry David Syndrome, where you're raging against almost everyone you encounter, "you may have some issues going on. It could be too much self-esteem, or too little." Too much and everything's all about you. (It's not.) Too little and you feel invisible. (You're not.)
The solution? Well, this is not from any reputable source, and it may be petty, but I'd say in the elevator situation, you should press the button again, right in front of the fellow. Take that!
Next: What it means if you get the urge to slap people in the middle of a conversation.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And about to get a whole lot healthier.

AllSeen's AllJoyn Framework Could Ease IoT Security Concerns
Ben-Zur said AllSeen's work on its AllJoyn framework will be able to reduce that attack surface by giving users greater control over which of their connected systems they want to expose to the Internet. AllSeen was founded six months ago by a wide range of industry vendors—from Qualcomm, Sharp, Cisco and D-Link to LG Electronics, Panasonic, Silicon Image and Wilocity—and charged with creating an open software framework that vendors, service providers and developers can leverage to create interoperable devices and services. The original framework that has become AllJoyn was created by Qualcomm Innovation Center, a subsidiary of Qualcomm, and contributed to the AllSeen Alliance. The consortium now has 44 members. The idea is that devices and services that adopt the AllJoyn framework will be able to autonomously discover and interact with each other regardless of the programming languages, tools, operating systems, hardware platforms or brands of each device. That could help ease security concerns, Ben-Zur said. She envisions an environment where those 30 AllJoyn-enabled connected devices in a home or business can communicate with each other, exchanging data back and forth, but not every one of them is exposed to the Internet. Consumers and business users can decide which of those systems needs to share its data on the Internet, and then allow that access, while other devices are kept off the Internet.The method is not foolproof and won't eliminate all vulnerabilities to attack, Ben-Zur said. But it can reduce the number of avenues available for hackers to try to exploit, and cut down on the security and privacy risks. IoT security will continue to be a focus of the AllSeen Alliance going forward, and Ben-Zur indicated that a significant announcement around security and privacy will be coming from the consortium in the coming months.
"You can let me decide what goes out onto the Internet," she said. "You start to imagine a much more controlled environment."

Botox is the UK's leading injectable anti-aging treatment which is used to reduce the appearance of certain types of facial wrinkles. This pain free, non-surgical facelift treatment can diminish the lines created when you smile or frown. These lines can worsen with age due to facial muscles folding and creasing the skin.
You would be required to attend a two week review upon your first treatment and if a top up is needed this would be free of charge. Results will last 3- 6months, for more information on pricing for this procedure, click here.
Treatable areas
- Brow lift
- Crow's Feet
- Frown lines
- Bobbly Chin
- Necklace Lines
- Masseter Muscles
Before & Afters
Our Botox® before and after pictures will give you an idea of the results you can expect from anti-wrinkle injections. This pain free injection can diminish the lines created when you smile or frown in just a few moments. These lines tend to worsen as you age due to facial muscles wrinkling the skin. Used to smooth and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, Botox is the world's most popular non-surgical anti-aging treatment.
If your self-esteem is affected by lines and wrinkles on your forehead, crows' feet or frown lines between the eyebrows then this straightforward procedure could help you regain confidence. Botox® temporarily weakens the muscles that fold and crease the skin, this helps stop wrinkles becoming established. With results lasting from 3 to 6 months once the treatment wears off, your muscles restore and strengthen themselves so they are able to begin creasing your skin again.
As you will see, results are different for every individual but there is a dramatically improved appearance to fine lines and deep wrinkles. The treatment also helps to prevent further wrinkles from forming in the area. Simply click through to see just some of our patients' amazing transformations.
What exactly is Botox?
BOTOX® is a toxin that temporarily weakens the muscles that gather your skin into folds, making it crease-proof enough to prevent wrinkles becoming established. A doctor can pinpoint which muscles to weaken. When injected, it attaches itself to the target muscle. Once it wears off, normally after about four months, the muscles regenerate and regain enough strength to start creasing up your skin again.
Are the treatments safe?
There are literally hundreds of studies showing that it is perfectly safe as long as it is used in the recommended amounts. We only use a tiny amount to treat wrinkles – less than a tenth of the amount used for treating conditions like Cerebral Palsy.
You shouldn't have this treatment if you;
are taking muscle relaxants,
have a muscle-weakening disorder, are pregnant,
are breastfeeding, have alcohol in your system: the injections are more likely to give you bruises and alcohol can make the injections spread to muscles you don't want to treat.

They paraded Dave Brailsford's Olympians on the pitch at half-time and Manchester City certainly need to catch a little of that champion class, because the early signs of this season are still not encouraging for the team who are defending the title.
Two wins from six, three leads thrown away, no clean sheets in seven matches and another public ruck between the manager and Mario Balotelli. Whichever way you tot it all up, City are not emphatic. Roberto Mancini, the manager, claimed no recollection of how he shoved his young striker down the tunnel at the end of the game, though the suspicion is that it was something to do with him getting only six minutes of football.
"I don't know if he's asked me something. Mario thought it was important, probably," he said. "I'll probably ask him next time."
But don't let the latest piece of Balotelli burlesque be a distraction from the real story of the day: Arsenal, yesterday's gold standard bearers who, having arrived in the season seeming depleted and diminished, currently look as good as anyone in the Premier League.
All the spirit was theirs, as was evident in the huge heap of players they formed when Laurent Koscielny's equaliser came eight minutes from time. In that glad moment Arsenal were vindicated for playing by far the better football and for having looked harder for players and bought more intelligently, if the evidence of six weeks of football can really tell us anything.
Santi Cazorla, the £12.7m Spaniard, looked a very great deal better value than City's Javi Garcia (whose role in the starting XI suggests he has already pushed Gareth Barry down the pecking order) or Scott Sinclair, who frankly looked out of his depth before he was withdrawn at the break. Barry has grounds for feeling extremely unfortunate if yesterday is anything to go by and you imagine that the man he will be sharing his sorrows with might be James Milner. The England international hasn't even featured on the bench in the past three games. Another player whom the national manager, Roy Hodgson, will have some trouble scouting.
Arsène Wenger, however, has some selection challenges of his own. Koscielny got his chance yesterday only because Thomas Vermaelen was left at home with flu and he more than staked his claim. "We have three classy centre-backs, you know," the Arsenal manager reflected with some satisfaction last night. "No matter who [is] left out can feel it is not right." The same contentment can be extended to the right-back Carl Jenkinson, who looked like a player thrown to the Premier League wolves this time last year but was first in front of the Arsenal support at the end last night.
In their excellent first-half, Arsenal's football – clean, neat, incisive – was engineered completely by Aaron Ramsey in a way which challenged Wenger's decision not to have started with him once this season.
That is not say that the old characterisation of Arsenal – can't finish, can't defend – didn't come back to haunt them at times. Wenger admitted that Gervinho – lucky to have been granted a full 90 minutes of football – should have finished the gilt-edged chance which Ramsey provided him with when he carved a ball inside of Gaël Clichy to send him through. But the Ivorian's heavy first touch on that occasion was compounded by a further three misses.
That was why the goal which took City ahead, five minutes before the interval, was so desperate. Kieran Gibbs, whose final pass from wide had also hindered Arsenal's attempts to press ahead, conceded a needless corner, at which Koscielny and Vito Mannone were at fault – Koscielny allowing Joleon Lescott to power above him and head home the ball David Silva had lofted over. "Mannone made a little mistake on the corner and was very frustrated with it," Wenger disclosed. "I'm very pleased it didn't affect his game after. He looked very solid. I like what he's doing."
Mancini tinkered with and thundered at his players, flipping Sinclair and David Silva, and City did finally find some life. The uncommon strike partnership of Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero – not used since the infamous night in Munich a year back, when Dzeko resisted substitution – did not coalesce, though Aguero looked the fearsome threat he almost always is.
Gibbs put in a vital challenge after David Silva's pass allowed the Argentine to get beyond Koscielny to shoot. Then Aguero drove wide after Koscielny could only clear straight at him, following one of Yaya Touré's drives through the heart of the opposition midfield as the game drifted towards its last 10 minutes.
Arsenal had done enough to earn their point, though. City's goalkeeper Joe Hart required all his athleticism to claw away a Cazorla strike and there was some symmetry to the way that Koscielny atoned, at Lescott's expense, for his late first-half error. He seized upon a very poor headed clearance from Cazorla's corner to thunder the equaliser high to Hart's left.
Mancini insisted that City, who have conceded three goals from set pieces in the last four games, were not still living off the euphoria of last season. "I hope not. What we did is finished. It's in the past. Now we are like all the other teams," he said. "I don't know why [it's happening] but probably we don't have enough concentration in some situations."
But it was Wenger, with his belief in footballing self-sufficiency and distaste for City's largesse, who was feeling the first sense of vindication after a wretched summer. "I'm pleased and happy because it's the minimum we deserved," he said. "I'm frustrated because there was room to do more with the early changes and the late chances. I hope the game will reinforce our belief and confidence and reassure us about our potential in this league."Reuse content

Swimming Stones / Isaac(squared)
A kinetic water sculpture fountain sculpted by internationally acclaimed artist Christian Tobin Isaac(squared) brings Aurora the most mysterious essence of both science and art. Here the hydrostatic force of water unleashing the kinetic energy of stone creates a work of compelling vitality inviting us to look and linger, talk and even dream. These four massive granite obelisks - 12 feet in height, weighing 4000 pounds each- feature top-stone segments, rhythmically rocking and swiveling, balanced on cushions of water. Each time a top-stone centers itself on the middle of its tower and is restored to equilibrium, the power of gravity is once more proclaimed: each turn of a stone replying to the center of the earth. The elemental effect of the force of water through each of these commanding rock pillars cascading onto the pedestrian walk below brings us together with the laws of nature and the transformational power of art.

Comments about The Outdoor GreatRoom Company Providence Outdoor Gas Fire Pit Table - PROV-1224-SS-K:
Our only issue was that the stainless came with numerous smears and finger printers. We called your office and asked if there was a recommended way to clean the stainless. We were told someone would call us back which never happened.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great fireplace for a great price

As in: "Dude, that rocks Natick!"
An explaination of the phrase. (Sort of.)
by Biz Stone
There is no mall in the snobby suburb of Wellesley, Massachusetts. To visit the cineplex, shop for the holidays, or buy in bulk, one must drive to the next town. That town is Natick. Route 9 is the quickest way to go. You can't take this route without passing under a particular bridge. This bridge spans the town line between Wellesley and Natick and it's the nexus that is the origin of a phrase which will soon make its way into permanent American vernacular speech.
When I attended Wellesley High school in the 1990s, many students subscribed to the idea that the residents of Natick had "big hair," drove only beaten-up Pontiac Trans-Ams, and rocked exclusively to the band Aerosmith. This is just how it was. They were asses.
On the Wellesley side of the aforementioned bridge, someone—in a fit of Aerosmithian enrapture—spraypainted the words, "Aerosmith Rocks Natick" in big, drippy capitals. You couldn't drive to Natick without reading "Aerosmith Rocks Natick." You didn't see it driving the other way, but going from Wellesley to Natick you were reminded every time that, in fact, "Aerosmith Rocks Natick." And what is wrong with that, pray tell?
Some years later, I recalled the bridge. I imagined that the author of the phrase had an overwhelming gusto for both the band Aerosmith and the town of Natick—two great tastes that taste great together. It is at this point that you, gentle reader, must make a leap of faith.
Somehow, I reasoned that if I replaced the word "Aerosmith" with any other word but kept the "Natick" part of the phrase intact, it would work towards recapturing the original level of enthusiasm the author felt when he or she created the masterpiece. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. Say, "I don't care what anybody thinks, I rock Natick." See? Don't you already feel like you could kick some wicked pissa ass at the local Dunkin' Donuts?
I began using the phrase for related scenarios and soon discovered that a fellow alumni of Wellesley High, Greg Yaitanes was also using the adapted phrase. In fact, he was using it profusely in his professional life it was serving him well. This only encouraged me to use it with greater frequency and it has served me well too. I highly recommend the phrase. It rocks Natick.

The Brooklyn Bands to Watch
The freshest beats from across the bridge.
In music as in fashion, it's all about what's new and hot now. Under the radar is the acme of cool and up-and-coming is the rep to have. Brooklyn has always been a mecca for emerging bands and artists, and with added hype from HBO's Girls plus Alexander Wang's odyssey out of Manhattan last fall, the borough is turning out some seriously buzz-worthy talent. Here, the latest sounds we can't stop listening to—all made and based in BK.
What to Expect: Ethereal vocals that cut like glass and infectious melodies that stick. The kind of track you'll play on repeat.
Listen if You Like: Lana Del Rey, Broods, Jessie Ware
8) Little Daylight
What to Expect: Pop-fizz inflections and singalong lyrics. An anthemic jam that practically demand a dance party.
Listen if You Like: CHVRCHES, Dragonette, Tove Lo
What to Expect: Bouncy funk beats behind the songstress's girlish indie-pop voice. It's disco for the modern day; girl power for a new generation.
Listen if You Like: The Knife, Electric Guest, Ladyhawke
