Nikon D4s: CP+ Hands-on and interview
Hands-on with the Nikon D4s, with insights from its creators
Nikon has officially launched its new flagship DSLR, the D4s. Offering a number of improvements over its predecessor the D4, the D4s features greater ISO sensitivity in stills and video mode, a new 60p video capture option and some minor design changes.
At the CP+ show in Yokohama, Japan earlier this month, editor Barnaby Britton was able to sit down with the new camera and two of the men responsible for creating it. Click through for a hands-on tour of the D4s and insights from its creators.

The great thing with the D4 and D4s are the programming options you have. For instance, you can program the movie record button to be the ISO button, as well as the M-Fn button on the vertical grip.
In this way you can always change ISO easily in both horizontal and vertical positions without even needing to take the eye from the viewfinder!
Mamma Nikon è difficile che sbagli.
Il tempo ci darà ragione
I know this is like a non-driver criticizing the color of a Rolls Royce's hubcaps, but how many of you Nikon fans think the display screen on the back is a bit small? Beautiful camera though...
It has the 3.2" LCD which is only made small in appearance by the overall size of the camera, itself. I have the D7100 and the 3.2" Vs the 3.0" is a major difference on the plus side. Nice in-camera review and details are not sacrificed when reviewing in the higher resolution mode.
Yes, it's an optical illusion. It does look, however, like there would have been enough space to squeeze in a bigger screen though. 3.5" ??
from the time they produce the DF that using 16.2MP FX-format CMOS sensor, I know that the next D4s won't change the sensor type since Nikon overstock too much. how to sell them? hmm, update the battery, change the key from rubber to plactics, update the firmware for better movie, the most important, use gigabyte network adapter. Dude, you forget you are making cameras, not laptop computers.
Just out of curiosity, the battery says "Cell made in China, further processed in Japan". I understand wanting to get "Japan" in there but I wonder what sort of processing they do and why it's necessary.
China is presumed to make inferior products whereas Japan is presumed to make advanced products. It's a bit like cars Made in Germany or Made in Uganda? Forget the product and how it performs just use racist stereotypes to sell products.
"Mr Matsushima explains further enhancements:
'Another improvement is wireless LAN which was 100 base T in the D4 and is now 1000 Base T."
That makes NO sense. 100baseT and 100baseT are WIRED Ethernet standards, not "wireless".
Good point - almost certainly an error in translation, which I'll fix.
I suspect that the real improvement here is the Expeed 4 and it's ability to deliver 1080 60p video.
I think this is the first 35x24mm DSLR to do so - at least with factory firmware.
I might be reading a lot into it, but the D4S has been labelled as as "HD DSLR". whereas the D4 as a Multimedia D-SRL "http://www.dpreview.com/news/2012/01/06/NikonD4launched".
Be interesting to see if the Expeed 4 or any other un publicised changes have improved the video.
Phillip Blloom was less than enthusiastic about the D4 for video, except when humounga ISO.
There certainly does't seem to be much else in the announcement.
Hmmm new button material. (yeah t's good, but unless your rebadging NEX's I hardly thing button material is a marketing material selling point, unless it is revilutionary material. Plastic ain't, IMO).
The amount of time and money and cutting edge technology involved in this camera is mind boggling.
I have but one question:
Has Nikon solved the problem of the 'growing' rubber grips that plague all nikon's?
D200 and a lens had a whole new set and my D700 is on its third 'trim' with the scissors and carpet tape to hold the grip on and my 24-70mm focussing rubber grip is looking like a life saver on a cocktail stick.
..Sort it out Nikon, its beyond a joke.
Lea5, you don't, but the rest of the planet do.
I've used a D1X, D200, D300s, D700, all of them are bald. It leaves an extremely uncomfortable, cheap feeling.
Where's Nikon super built quality? I guess anywhere else but the rubbers! It's a joke.
At the same time, used Canons I've seen, all their rubbers are there.
I'm not sure, Alex. I visit camera stores a lot, and always take a look at used offerings.
I'm amazed at how used Nikons always seem to have rubbers coming off, while at the same time, Canons on display are always in 9+ condition.
I don't wanna argue, but I really don't agree on that.
Nikon's rubber do come off, and leave a very cheap feeling, to an otherwise sturdy camera.
My D700 had its rubbers replaced twice, and is already bald again. Just hate the cheapo feeling it has now.
A friend of mine just bought an ancient, heavily used Canon 30D, and it's in mint condition to this day.
Amen on the rubbers! The thumb hump rubber on my Dƒ is already starting to slide. It's barely two months along. Damn shame!!
To be fair, Canon seems to have moved in the direction of Nikon's stickier, grippier rubber as I've seen countless 60D cameras shedding their grip rubber and the vertical grip for my 5DIII was beginning to cough up its rubber at the time I sold it.
I've kicked off enough times about it to have actually got an answer from a nikon rep as to why it happens.
Apparently its not the adhesive rather the rubber. The rubber absorbs the salts from your sweaty hands, the results of which expand the rubber, leaving the adhesive unable to hold on.
I shoot ALOT at the coast, so to compound my sweaty hands issues, the rubbers are also absorbing the salt from the sea mist.
Whilst were on the subject of camera damage, a heads up about sunscreen; It strips the print off camera buttons.
It takes months and months of daily sunscreen, but eventually the buttons will be bald. If I'm out and in need of sunscreen and no where to wash it off, I only apply it with my left hand (im right handed) to minimize camera contact.
Have you seen an old sunscreen bottle? how the print is gone? That's what it will do to the camera's button icons.
Ohh I know all to well about the growing rubber grips. I'm from Bermuda where the humidity ain't no joke. Growing rubber grip are a norm on my cameras!
"The AF-on button is now easier to press, and the hand grip is better" just about sums it up.
Why did they bother with so many very minor improvements?
This is a very slightly better camera than a D4, but provides very little reason to upgrade from one. The probably should have waited two more years so they might have some more significant improvements to offer.
I would be careful about using words like "better" and "improvement" regarding the design. The D4 was supposedly an improvement over the D3S, and now the D4S moves back in the D3S direction. Which is "better"? Do our hands change every year or two?
I believe most of these changes are change for the sake of it. Perhaps (perhaps) change is itself good sometimes. But a great design would remain unchanged for years and years – until new technology fundamentally changed our interaction with it.
In terms of improving ergonomics, they could have indeed made more improvements, like replicating the front custom buttons for portrait orientation or taking a page out of their concurrent's book when it comes to button customisation. And a complete overall of their memory banks system.
Let's see which of the functions the D800 will get of the D4s new
recalibrated AF algorithms, Group AF mode, RAW SIZE S and the "ability to customize the color of the LCD monitor to better match studio monitors or personal preference"
Even my K-5 can calibrate the LCD color. My K-5 can also remap dead pixels and vibrate the sensor to self clean to a degree which my D800E's couldn't do in a fit. I have both Pentax and Nikon systems and it's quite obvious to me that Pentax doesn't get the recognition it deserves out there in consumerland.
A few days ago I bought a used, but mint, Nikkor 24mm PC-E and I'm quite disappointed with it optically on the 36MP sensor. It'd probably be way good enough on a 16MP or 24MP FF though but I won't be spending 7k to find out.
Looks like a modest refinement of a good tool.
Alright I'm stupid but keep going in circles trying to fine the review of the new Nikon, someone clue me in please?
Never mind I see it's about a paragraph below each photo, nothing gets by me LOL
ok i officially give up! you got me Barney!
so where is the link to read the interview?
if i click interview it takes me to a list of interviews and if i click the d4s title it takes me back here, if i click any of the labels above the "you may also like" they just circle around but afaik there is no link to the interview.
If this is a test i surrender and maybe this is why there are only 5 comments, something broken???
Yep - as noirdesir points out, the interview insights are built into the running captions. Sorry if that was unclear.
It appears as though it has impact damage. Oh wait, sorry, I haven't sent it in for service yet...
Nikons flagship offers full HD while most flagship smart phones now offer 4k.
4K from a tiny sensor compared to 1080p from a much bigger sensor... Marketed to different crowds, different quality standards too. I would take 1080p with ProRes 4444 over 4K with h.264 and low bitrates.
What use is 4k? To anybody?

Violet: Just Go.
I wander down the coridoor, feeling more left out than ever. I hear loud thumps from upstairs, but there is no point. I'll run up there, Meita'll be having an attention fit again, and I'll be left to do nothing. Well, that is my life, I guess. Left for nothing. Just an empty bowl. An empty soul, I mentally correct myself. As I walk deeper into the ground - wow this place is huge - it starts to get much colder, and darker. I pull out my phone, and use it as a light. I finally see a turning into a room, which looks like it has it's light on. I hurry into it, seeing a sofa. Oblivous to most of my surroundings, I sit. I stare around me, nothing to see apart from.. from..
"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I scream. There, before my eyes, is a giant wolf. He sits, staring at me, with deep, dark, brown eyes. They melt into mine, somehow staying hard and unmoving at the same time. I gulp. I'd never tried before to control emotions on animals before, and I guess this is the best time to try it. Instead of just thinking it, I need it as strong as it will get.
"Calm." I managed to rasp. Although I hadn't sensed any anger before, the rooms tension suddenly eases. I hear footsteps trampling down the stairs and slopes. I run and shut the door. This world doesn't need a me. But I am not risking their - Nero and Brandon flashed to my head, rather annoyingly - lives. Their fists hammer on the door.
"No." I shout. "Go back. You can't-" I hesitated. "Just go." I heard several 'No's' and 'But we can't' and I just sighed.This is the only choice I had. A tear rolls down my cheek.
I heard sighs as the girls fall over Brandon and Nero, and how they sigh back. I imagine them all cuddling up together.
Just get this damn thing over with, I think partly to myself, and partly to the wolf, knowing he can't hear me anyway.
"Anger. Bye, world." I shut my eyes and wait for the end.

No. 25 Irish rout Cincinnati 62-41
Jerian Grant scored 13 points to lead No. 25 Notre Dame to a 62-41 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
Grant shot just 2-of-9 from the field but was perfect from the free-throw line, hitting a season-high nine.
The Irish (22-6, 10-5 Big East) had four players score in double figures. Tom Knight scored 12, followed by Jack Cooley and Eric Atkins with 11.
Unlike their last game against Pittsburgh, when they managed only one field goal over the first 9 minutes, the Irish started hot, hitting their first four attempts. Cincinnati, by contrast, converted just 3 of their first 15 tries, and finished the first half shooting 7-of-25, or 28 percent.
The Bearcats (19-9, 7-8) weren't much more accurate in the second half, finishing the game at 32 percent shooting.
JaQuon Parker led Cincinnati with 12 points.

Modern Indian homes are redefining contemporary decor. The trick is to combine lines, structure, materials and colors in a way such that the look is contemporary but also has a distinctive Indian flavor.
Amit Mehra's vivid images sum it all up:
Such symmetry! Quick tip - Innovate the use of common items - like the bamboo sticks in classy urns filled with sand!. Also check out the low seating in white. Do I hear someone say "O my God, I can make something similar for my home! All I need is wooden boards (polished dark), mattress to fit and some cushions!"
The hanging figurine is Balinese
That color again!
Marigold petals in a water feature look lovely! Though can be a pain in all the wrong places when it comes to cleaning a water feature like this. Ask me - I have tried it! But still, it is well worth the effort to do something like this for a special occasion. As most of us will not have such a water feature in our homes, the option could be to pick up a large shallow bowl - in metal or stone, and fill it with water and petals
I remember seeing such small closets in my grandmom's home. I wish I knew where to find some original pieces now...

Barely surfaced from a mostly unedifying televised debate in Arizona that veered from peevish to personal, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney yesterday accused each other of failing the test of conservative consistency.
Smelling blood after a two-hour debate that seemingly left Mr Santorum the more seriously wounded, Mr Romney used an appearance before a builders' convention to twist the knife, mocking his rival for saying on stage that he had voted in Congress on occasion for initiatives he didn't like because he was following the party line. "He described it as 'taking it for the team' and I wondered what team he was taking it for," Mr Romney declared gleefully before a friendly audience at the luxury Arizona Biltmore hotel. "My team is the American people. I don't know if I have ever seen a politician explain in so many ways why he voted against his principles."
Mr Santorum may have fudged the opportunity on Wednesday night to show he has the stuff to ride his recent momentum in the polls, sparked by his clean sweep of three states two weeks ago, to finish off Mr Romney and snatch the Republican Party's presidential nomination. Instead he was frequently on the defensive against attacks not just from Mr Romney but also Ron Paul, the libertarian, who was in unusually ferocious form.
After nearly two unruly months, the Republican contest is at a pivotal moment. Both frontrunners are scrambling for advantage in this state and in Michigan, which both hold primary votes on Tuesday. Success or failure next week may frame their fortunes the following week on Super Tuesday when 10 states vote. There are three times more convention delegates at stake on just those two days than have been awarded so far.
Aides travelling with Mr Romney privately expressed confidence that they can take both states next week. Of the two, Arizona looks safest with an important number of Mormon Republican voters who will largely back the former Massachusetts governor.
But new polls yesterday showed a still slim lead for Mr Santorum in Michigan, the state where Mr Romney was born. Yesterday he unleashed a new television spot that scrolls through past quotes from Mr Romney which undercut his own conservative claims, including: "I don't line up with the National Rifle Association... I will preserve and protect a women's right to choose... I'd be embarrassed if I didn't ask for federal dollars every chance I had".
Mr Santorum's greatest difficulties on Wednesday night came when he was forced to explain why, before leaving Congress in 2006, he had voted against his principles in favour of steps that are mostly anathema to conservative voters, including supporting Planned Parenthood, the group that helps give women access to family planning.
"I find it really fascinating that, when people are running for office, they're really fiscally conservative," said Mr Paul. "When they're in office, they do something different." Early on in the debate he bluntly called Mr Santorum "a fake". Mr Santorum drew jeers from the audience as he tried to explain. "It was against the principles I believed in, but, you know, when you're part of the team, sometimes you take one for the team," he said.
Power pair giving big
The donations of only two men account for 71 per cent of contributions to a super-PAC backing Rick Santorum, according to Republican campaign funding figures revealed this week. Foster Friess, a supporter of Christian causes and retired businessman gave more than $1m. Mr Friess was recently forced to apologise for remarks he made about contraception in a TV interview: "Back in my day, they'd use Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees."
William J Dore, head of Dore Energy Corp, also gave $1m.

Prehistory (cWOD)

Events Edit
Due to uncertainties in the timeline, as well as the fact that the original layout of Creation was at one unspecified point in prehistory fundamentally altered, multiple variants of prehistory exist. This can be explained through Resonance and the Fractured Cosmos cosmology. Both sides will be presented alongside one another, with individual interpretation about how these events correlated.
Events according to demonsEdit
- The Big Bang. Fiat Lux. God aka the All-Maker, aka the Infinity of Infinities, creates the angels. Seven houses of angels are made one after another, each creating and governing a different part of the universe. The ultimate pinnacle of this new Creation is humanity, which possesses a spark of the divine itself.
Reality exists in "layers" or "facets" at this point in time, while Creation took place in seven days it simultaneously happened over billions of years, and while Eve the Allmother and Adam the Allfather were formed by angelic power, humanity also evolved in a very slow process.
- God gives the seven angelic houses two commands. First, to love humanity as much as they loved God. Second, to never allow humanity to know the angels existed and looked over them. This second command surprised and horrified the angels who wished for nothing more than to show their love and serve mankind.
- Angels grow increasingly frustrated at humanity's inability to truly comprehend and appreciate the world around them, and at having to keep themselves hidden from humanity. They fear that humankind will never achieve its potential, that they will never be anything more than animals. When they ask God they are told 'If you would know as I know, come unto Me and see as I see.' Those few that take God up on the offer are never heard from again, presumable destroyed for their hubris.
- Ahrimal, angel of the Fourth House, perceives great destruction and turmoil in the future; each day, it becomes stronger and darker. When he brings this prediction to his superiors, they tell him it is nothing more than an anomaly, nothing more than a potential that would never happen.
- The Great Debate. Unsatisfied by his own house's response, Ahrimal calls several of his friends and tells them of what he has seen. Though they were concerned they were unable to agree on any course of action. Lucifer arrives uninvited and unannounced. He declares that following both of God's commands is impossible and he chooses to follow the first at the expense of the second. Ahrimal and Belial side with Lucifer, while Lailah and Usiel side with God.
- The Endless Night. As the sun sets, Lucifer and a number of angels reveal themselves to humankind and give them the gift of knowledge in a single night that lasts a thousand years.
- The Fall. Dawn brings the attention of Michael, Seraph of the Flaming Sword, and a vanguard of angels. In the name of God, Michael orders the rebellious angels to submit and be unmade, and humankind to give up the knowledge and civilization they now possess. Lucifer and Michael clash; Michael is beaten, and withdraws. One third of angels are involved with the rebellion. Abel and one-fourth of humanity side with God, while the rest including Adam and Eve side with Lucifer and the rebel angels.
- The Age of Wrath begins. God touches the cosmos, the infinite touches the finite, the Garden of Eden is destroyed, Paradise is lost. Where the universe was meant to be a perfect perpetual motion machine it is now damaged, broken and slowly winding down. Starting from this point, the number of layers that make up reality begin to decrease. Mankind is now mortal, subject to old age and death.
- Lucifer divides the rebel host into five Legions, each under the command of one of Lucifer's lieutenants. The Scarlet Legion under Belial, the Ebon Legion under Abaddon, the Iron Legion under Dagon, the Silver Legion under Asmodeus and the Alabaster Legion under Azrael.
- The Silent War. For hundreds of years the war was non-lethal. Battles were more akin to dances or debates. To humans they appeared as storms or earthquakes.
- The Alabaster Legion begins the Haven Project, building Haven so they might be able to care for humans that have died.
- Caine invents murder and deceit when he kills his brother Abel, fundamentally altering existence. The War is suddenly lethal. Abel's death also triggers the first Maelstrom, a storm in the underworld.
- The rebel Legions disagree on how to continue the war and scatter.
- The Time of Atrocities. Many rebel angels grow increasingly twisted as the war goes on. The Ebon Legion is especially well known for the depredations and tortures it inflicts upon humankind.
- A new force of mysterious warrior angels called the Malhim appear alongside the Loyal Host and begin to turn the tide of the war against the scattered Legions.
- The Long March. Lucifer, commanding the Crimson and Iron Legions, forces the other three back under his banner, ending the Time of Atrocities and beginning the Time of Babel.
- The Grand Experiment. Lucifer selects 10 of his most trusted retainers and sends them to teach humankind the secrets of not only Creation but of Heaven as well. This knowledge spawns the Civilization of Ashes where human cities rival those built by the angels and include cities built upon oceans, mountains, deserts and jungles. Enoch is likely one of these cities.
- Asmodeus and Abaddon fear becoming servants to mankind and plot to sabotage the Grand Experiment. They discover how to spawn Nephilim by raping imprisoned women.
- Nephilim kill the Ten and dominate mankind.
- Lucifer and his angels find out about the Nephilim and slaughter them. The Grand Experiment fails.
- Mankind buckles under the weight of the knowledge of the Ten and loses the ability to speak the One Language. Unity amongst humans ends. The Civilization of Ashes collapses and many of its cities are lost or abandoned. Angels become ineffable to humankind, reducing the power of Faith that the rebels are able to draw from them.
- The Host descends upon the weakened rebels, ending the War of Wrath. Every surviving rebel other than Lucifer is cast into Hell. Lucifer wonders the Earth aimlessly.
Events according to the FeraEdit
- 10-20 billion years ago: The Big Bang. The Weaver begins creating galaxies, planets, and stars. The Wyrm explodes stars and creates black holes, although Weaver dislikes this, even though her own laws of physics demand it. Singularities are thus hidden behind event horizons.[1]
- 3.5-4 billion years ago: Life appears on Earth, as well as spirits.[1]
- 400 million years ago: Ananasa creates different species of flying insects by diversifying them.[2]
- 360 million years ago: Weaver attempts to trap the Wyld and fails. Ananasa takes the energy released and with the assistance of the Wyrm, who wanted to create and not only devour, makes the spider as a perfectly balanced creature. It soon makes its own spirit, pleasantly surprising both Ananasa and the Triat.[2]
- Weaver creates the Insect Races; shape-shifters from bees, moths, hornets, locusts, ants and termites. When the Moths refuse to serve her, she destroys their spirits. The Wyld is outraged and attacks the Weaver. The Weaver destroys the life on the Moon.[2]
- The Severing. The Weaver traps Wyrm. The Wyrm goes insane. Weaver begins calcifying the Umbra.[3]
- The Insect Wars. The Ananasi exterminates the Insect Races.[2]
- 150 million years ago: The Mokole begins to create a civilization, later referred to as the "Age of Kings".[4]
- 65 million years ago: Cretaceous period ends with a mass extinction, the Wonderwork of the Dissolver (Wyrm). Ammonite shape-shifters and bristlecreeper shape-shifters die out. All evidence of the Age of Kings is also destroyed. Surviving Mokole can no longer take the Drachid form.[4] Paleocene begins. Mokole decide to guide the evolution of mammals into a new tool-making species, which eventually become humans. They later regret this.[4]
- 2.3 – 2.5 million years ago: Weaver takes humanity as her adopted child to help bring order to the world. Humans discover how to use stone tools and to hunt.[1]
- Gaia creates Garou. Originally, their life spans were closer to wolf years, but over time, they begin to have more human life spans and aging patterns.[5]
- Garou fight the Talons of the Wyrm, eventually binding them.[7]
- 1.75 million years ago-100,000 years ago: The Ice Age. Gaia attempts to root out Wyrm-corruption on her body by using glaciers. It is not as effective in Eurasia as it was in the Americas, as the Wyrm had no direct access to the Western hemisphere.[6]Finger Lakes of upstate New York are, according to Garou formed when Gaia reaches down, scoops out corruption from the area, and sanctifies it.[6][8]
- 100,000 years ago: Human diaspora. Early humans leave Africa and various cultures form. Some Garou discourage Weaver influence on various cultures, resulting in what some call "primitive" cultures. Others ignore or actively encourage Weaver influence.[1]
- 70,000 years ago: Neanderthals appear. First Neanderthal homid Ananasi is born.[2]
- 70, 000 years ago: The supervulcanoe Mount Toba erupts in modern Indonesia. The eruption unleashes the Banestorm, permanently altering the Umbra and allowing the Garou to gain prominence among the Fera.[9]
- 63849 BCE: A Shenti (later dubbed Autochthonia) forms in the Deep Universe as a one-sided shape.[10]
- 63848 BCE: The pre-Autochthonia Shenti grows into a two-dimensional surface.[10]
- 63846 BCE: The pre-Autochthonia Shenti grows from a two-dimensional surface into a tetrahedron.[10]
- 63842 BCE: The pre-Autochthonia Shenti grows from a tetrahedron into a 16-sided shape.[10]
- 63826 BCE: The pre-Autochthonia Shenti grows from a 16-sided shape into a 256-sided shape.[10]
- 63570 BCE: The pre-Autochthonia Shenti grows from a 256-sided shape into a 65,536-sided shape.[10]
- 27, 000 years ago: The Ananasi conspire to wipe out the Neanderthals, eradicting most clans during a gathering. The other Fera proclaim the Ananasi Wyrm-tainted, but the damage to the species is already done. The last Neanderthal dies on the Iberian Peninsula.[11]
Ascertable timelineEdit
- Fianna arrive in Ireland and are met by the Tuatha De Dannan.[12]
- Garou begin the Impergium. Bastet and Garou participate, although some Bastet disagree with it, which eventually leads to a civil war among the Bastet.[13] Nagah do not participate, although Nagah do cause Delirium for some reason.[14] With Fianna support, Druid Verbena mages of Ireland help to enforce the Impergium through human sacrifice.[12] Sceptre of the Impergium fetish is created by the Silver Fangs.[15] In some areas, instead of killing humans, Black Furies introduced ergot to the grain supply of certain villages in order to keep the population down.[16]
- Maru-Dikleh War. Two rival Khan Bastet kings decimate the tribe.[13]
- 20,000-30,000 years ago: Wendigo, Uktena, and Croatan cross the Bering Land Bridge with early Amerindians.[7] It appears to them after they had been lead to East Asia by Gaia and prayed for guidance. Wyrm creatures try to follow them, but the bridge breaks and falls into the sea, taking them with it and isolating the Americas from Wyrm influence.[6] The Three Brothers build a sacred mound where the bridge was and destroy most of the remaining corruption in the Americas.[6] The Garou leadership serves to lessen the Delirium in Amerindians.[6] Inuit peoples cross in two waves cross after the bridge refreezes, and remain in Northern Canada and Alaska to maintain the wards keeping the Wyrm out.[6]
- 13000 BCE: A group of Paleo-Indians hunt mastodon, bison, woolly mammoth and caribou in the Las Vegas valley.[18]
- 12000 BCE: The War of Shame begins.[19]
- 10500 BCE: The end of the previous ice age, and the beginning of the Age of Leo.[21]
- 10500 BCE: The Beth-Alpha Synagogue in Galilee mosaic has encoded time indicators pointing to this year.[22]
- 10000 BCE - 5000 BCE: Most historians place this as "prehistory."[23] The construction of the Sphinx dates to this time.[20]
- 10000 BCE: The Zi Guang claim to have been founded, influencing and warping the Chi in rice plants to make them more productive.[24]'
- 9600 BCE Ananasi Jericho Euler helps to build the ancient city of Jericho.[25]
- The Concord, the great agreement of the Garou to end the Impergium (and establishing other traditions of the Garou as well) is reached around 7000 BCE.[28] First mention of the Bone Gnawers as a Tribe (the other ones are much older).[29] When the Impergium ends, Weaver vows never to allow humans to be victimized again.[30] Black Furies work with Children of Gaia to end it.[31]
- 6500 BCE: Doggerland, the land bridge between mainland Europe and the British Islands, sinks.[33]
- 6000 BCE: Early Progenitors introduce domestication to the Masses.[34]
- 6000 BCE: The Matriarch reaches Europe, settling in the modern Rhine-Main- Region to escape her sire.[35]
- The Tuatha De Danann and the Fey leave the physical world.[12]
- Tribal shamans, mystics and healers discover the hidden precepts of magic, identifying natural and supernatural sources of power within and outside the borders of perception. Magic, religion and early science coexist as the basis of creativity and progress.[36]

Note to self, a diet of vodka doesn't work.
It was still dark when Lazarus awoke, his head pounding, his mouth and throat horribly dry and he was alone. Melissa had gone. He sighed and turned over onto his back, blinking and rubbing the sleep dust out of his eyes.
'The sleeping beauty is awake, then.' Melissa's voice floated through his door only a moment before her face appeared in the doorway. 'I went to get changed; I hope I didn't wake you.' Lazarus grunted and shook his head as best he could lying down. The pillow rustled quietly beneath his head as he moved and Melissa smiled, her bright red lips curving upwards in the dark, shimmering in some unseen light source. She wandered over to the bed, swaying ever so lightly. Lazarus tried to keep his eyes off her lithe body, but he couldn't. Why are men and women so attractive? He closed his eyes, blocking out the unfamiliar feelings.
'You were quiet last night,' Melissa told him as she sat on the edge of the bed with him.
'Every night you call for Gabriel, but you didn't last night.' She elaborated. Lazarus kept his eyes closed, trying to stop himself from flushing, but the shame was evident on his face.
'How embarrassing,' he muttered, 'calling out for someone in my sleep like a child for their mother after a nightmare.' He opened his eyes and watched Melissa's reaction. Her smile had faded.
'It's not embarrassing. But it was good you were at peace.' She reached out a hand and brushed the back of her slender fingers on his rough cheek. He reached up and pulled her hand away, grimacing. 'I need to shave. I need to have a shower and sort myself out.' Melissa dropped her hand, silently smarting that he had pushed her away. Inhaling, she pushed the negativity away and let him get up. He grabbed the cleanest clothes he could find and left the vampire sitting on his bed. He hadn't meant to be so cold, but her touch had aroused some emotion in him that instantly had him inwardly begging for Gabriel.
As he stood under the hot water, vulnerable and naked, he cursed himself. Why am I so weak? He looked up at the shower head and let the jets of water pound his face. Eventually he got out, scrubbing himself dry and dressing himself in his baggy, semi-clean clothes. Wiping the steam from the mirror, Lazarus picked up an old can of shaving foam and swore violently when it sputtered and dribbled a thimbleful of white goo. He frowned at himself in the mirror and was tempted to punch it for a moment.
'I need to go shopping more often.' He mumbled to himself. Abandoning the notion of neatening himself up, he left the bathroom with a scowl etched on his face, as though he had spent his time in the cramped little room carving the glowering expression into his face.
He thumped around the apartment, his temper rising as he made a list of all the things he had run out of about a week ago. Melissa wandered into the living room and sat quietly on the piano stool where he had left it by the window. She looked up at the sky and through the smog, town fumes and light pollution she saw the moon, very nearly full. She wasn't sure which of the two was worse – watching the moon swell, or watching Lazarus in such a temper. He was looking for his wallet now, and he was not succeeding.
'It's in the kitchen, Lazarus,' she told him as he began to pull the cushions off the sofa. He looked up, surprised. He hadn't noticed her there.
'Thanks.' He said gruffly, rising and moving into the kitchen. He sighed and came to a stop, his hand resting on the brown leather wallet. 'I'm going to Tesco. I'll be back in a bit.' At this Melissa stood up.
'I don't think I should let you go on your own, Lazarus.' She told him, hoping that he didn't take her words badly. He turned his stormy face to hers and she winced a little at the anger and hurt she saw in his eyes.
'Don't trust me, huh?' he sniffed and turned away, glaring at the crumpled paper bag sitting on the counter tauntingly. 'I don't blame you.' The pain laced his voice as he spoke and he dropped his gaze to his hands. He realised he was trembling; he couldn't remember the last time he ate. Note to self, diet of vodka doesn't work.

Assemble and release this smart robotic crab and watch it scuttle around on the table top. It will detect the edges and won't fall off.
This fun kit has a motor that makes the robot shake and spin. The robot slides across smooth surfaces! A great lesson in model building, basic mechanics, and basic robotics. Makes a great science fair project, too!
This was not my first order I keep coming back, satisfied again.

Project Eternity Interview
Category: News ArchiveHits: 1576
Can you give us an insight into what stage of that process you're at now?
We're in pre-production, although most of our efforts at the moment are focused on the Kickstarter. Adam Brennecke is heading up our production and tasking efforts – he's where we've gotten most of our Kickstarter metrics and planning.
Josh Sawyer is our project lead and he's laying out world elements, races, and systems, I'm working on narrative approaches and character concepting – which should be up this week -Rob Nesler is setting up the visual look and feel of the game, and Tim Cain is working on a number of design elements of the game, including basic stats and armor mechanics, as well as ideas for non-combat ability design.
In addition to the folks above, we have a number of other Obsidianites are working on gameplay and graphics, which you'll see samples of in the days to come.
Given that freedom to buck trends and to really just make the game you want, what will Project Eternity deliver that many modern RPGs are lacking?
More role-playing in terms of customization of bios, looks, or even how your perceive your character acting – a number of modern RPGs dictate those things to you in the interests of giving you a specific character with a specific voice.
While I think that can make for a better game in some respects, I don't think it makes for a better RPG. Also, the level of tactics, customization, and system leveling is also something we want to bring to the table, and we want to explore a variety of themes and elements that publishers often shy away from in the interests of not offending anyone.
I'd argue RPG'ers are a lot more tolerant and accepting of a variety of issues than publishers give them credit for.

In each chapter it shows more deaths,a flu has struck all over the US,Matt is starting to feel better 8a little*,for a while they all had fire wood and Miranda writes her final journal entry.
Time has gone by fast showing that it is now Miranda's seventeenth birthday,she ends her "journal" by telling us how it is now with maybe there is hope that her loved ones are alive and why she does write in this journal.All of the disasters has made a inpact on her from beggenning it shows her being shocked and almost hopeless of what the next day might bring for her.To the end she shows almost a hopeless but used to life showing that "but i't dosn't matter.I't was food and it will get us through for weeks" Even if life has been bad she has now became even hopefull of little things such as "We can only hope now that Dad and Lisa and baby Rachel are alive.Grandma,too."Showing that this once must frustarated and fearfull girl has found her little hope from getting used to knowing that her time will some come,but for the time being she is hopefull of what each day gives her."But today isn't a day to worry about the furture.Whatever will happen will happen."

Moved from the appartment The Chezz to tthe other one due to me aquiring a bad foot and the need to use a whellchair -and consequently a bigger condo. Again Gianluca was very helpful and went out of his way to help me. Although this condo is in a quieter are called cosy beach, you reach the city center in a short ride. The condo itself was very nice, clean and had a nice pool area. You will find everything else you need in the vincinity like restaurants, laundry, family mart and taxi / motorbike services. If i come back to LOS I will call again on Gianluca! Thx,mate!
Gianluca is great. Thanks for everything.

Great condo! Thank you so much for hospitality and support during staying in Pattaya!!!
Every ting was okay it was what a like close too all places
on booking and before when i tried to get more information regarding the appartement and the facilities in the vincinity, gianluca was very friendly and helping. the appartment it self was clean and as advertised. a modern-style appartment in quiet surroundings and neighbors.everything ran smooth and its quite handy placed with the big supermarket round the corner and some 7/11 on the other side of the road. some more paces round the corner of the spermarket lies the bus stop of the 10 baht busses to the town center - some 4 minutes away.
as i overstretched my tendons in one foot, ganluca went out of his way to help me with anything imaginable like bying groceries and offering me a bigger appartment when i switched to another appartment. at no extra costs. gianluca is a very nice individual and always there if you need help or advice on local idiosyncrasies. so far i cand say anything negative, just the opposite. honors where honors are due.

This Was Brainerd- Apr. 15
20 years ago (1991)
Baxter is an unlikely field for a battle of giants, but this town of 3,695 has a Target and Wal-Mart opening this summer just a quarter-mile apart. They already have a Kmart and a Mills Fleet Farm, and just cut the ribbons opening two large supermarkets.
30 years ago (1981)
(Photo) Brainerd Fire Chief Ray Shortridge surveys the remains of a home in Barrows that was leveled by a fire last night but not discovered until today. The family was in Brainerd yesterday and forced to stay overnight when their car wouldn't start.
40 years ago (1971)
Capt. Lee Fundanet, Brainerd, an Army pilot in Vietnam, flew into Can Tho airport and asked the tower for landing instructions. He thought the voice that radioed back sounded familiar. It was. It turned out to be his brother, Spec. Mel Fundanet.
60 years ago (1951)
George, age about 40, has another home today, but it doesn't make much difference to him. His new home is the city jail for two days while police check his background. His former home was a cardboard box at the Brainerd dump, where he spent four days.
80 years ago (1931)
Plans are shaping up for the Central Minnesota Golf Assn. tournament, to be held June 27 - 30 at Pine Beach on Gull Lake near Brainerd. The event is under the auspices of the St. Cloud Country Club, but their course only has 9 holes, while Pine Beach has 18 holes.
100 years ago (1911)
The lobby of the Ransford Hotel is being enlarged by removing the partition and taking over the writing room. The "Q" billiard parlors will be moving to the site formerly occupied by the Bijou Theatre, and their space will be the new writing room.

Floating Doctors
I am the mother of one of those neophytes on board the Floating Doctors Mission.
The last word i received was on Saturday, which is okay i guess- ( he is a grown man)
i thought i would use this site to gather information about their safety and progress
Its good to see everyones thoughts and opinions.
I wouldn't worry about your child -- sailing passages take much longer than most land-dwellers realize, and it's not unusual for boats and crews to go incommunicado for lengths of time that would seem unthinkable on land.
Also, we are familiar with the Floating Doctors, and have seen more than a few photos of their vessel. It appears to be reasonably stout, but probably not the fastest passagemaker. So they could be out there a bit longer than average on their crossing to Haiti (if that's their destination?)
I know as a mother you can't help it, but please don't worry too much. They'll be fine. :)
If you ned help of any kind, feel free to post here.
floating doctors
John Pollard
Thank you for your kind reply. i appreciate the information and the assessment of the vessel.
I thought i would be more at ease but at certain times of the day- i have a rush of anxiety which i know is NOT a mother's intuition but perhaps more of a mothers intrusion....
anyway thanks and i will certaintly ask for assistance here if i need it
again thanks for your kind reply
Those kids (young adults, really) are fit and well equipped -- especially for medical emergencies.;) They're crossing at a favorable time of year, in an area with plenty of traffic that can render assistance if need be.
They probably won't set any speed records, they might hit a few rough patches and bumps along the way, but they'll be fine. :)
I am surprised they don't have a SPOT tracker.
Floating Doctor(s) arrived in Haiti..
Hi Susan
Check out my other post.
Thank you to JohnRPollard,bljones,and gtod25 for your attention - I did receive a call that they have arrived in Haiti, without too much difficulty
I am happy to have this site!
your kindness is greatly appreciated.

On 16 December, 1944, Hitler launched his 'last gamble' in the snow-covered forests and gorges of the Ardennes. He believed he could split the Allies by driving all the way to Antwerp, then force the Canadians and the British out of the war. Although his generals were doubtful of success, younger officers and NCOs were desperate to believe that their homes and families could be saved from the vengeful Red Army approaching from the east. Many were exultant at the prospect of striking back. The Ardennes offensive, with more than a million men involved, became the greatest battle of the war in western Europe. American troops, taken by surprise, found themselves fighting two panzer armies.

One of my cats started doing something strange this past year. Jesse is a 4yr old neutered male. He brings dirty laundry downstairs. I know he's trying to tell me something, but I can't figure out what it is. He'll grab a sock usually, but sometimes he'll bring underwear, t-shirts, pajama pants, and once he brought a blanket!
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
Maybe he's trying to tell you he don't like Dirty smelly Clothes :)
Perhaps separation anxiety. The laundry items you mentioned have "skin" smell. When my puppy does something very similar to what you described, I give her a drop of Rescue Remedy (bought it at Whole Foods) and she calms down.
hey! A cat that wants to do the laundry lol.
Maybe he smells your body's pheromones and he is like how a female cat gets when she is in heat. My cat went through it and howled and wailed like that in evening for like 2 weeks she must have been in heat. We accidentally let her out and guess what? She just had kitties! So it could be the pheromones.
It could be a health issue, so get your cat checked out. It might be nothing but at least you've covered that possible cause.
Another thing it might be is another cat in the neighbourhood that might be hanging around.
It might also be a change in his environment that's put him out of sorts.
I hope you find a solution.
Welcome to the loony world of felines!! My daughters cat does this also, usually with her clothes. Whenever they go out they come back home and there is one or more articles of clothes in the living room. One time "Frankie" dragged my son in laws sweat pants into the living room and my son in law is over 6 feet!
Our cat started dragging around my daughters stuffed yellow "woodstock" that came with valentines candy a few years ago, and does it EVERY DAY!! It is so hilarious!! Usually she will do it until somebody calls her then she will drop it at that persons feet.
My females do this. I think they're hunters and carry the laundry as they would their catch!
My cat does this with only socks! We call her the sock monster!...LOL
She seems very proud of her Catch!
Our cats like to sleep in my son's dirty laundry basket. I think maybe they just like the scent of the clothes. Dogs like all sorts of stinky things, so it could be the same with the cats.
Can you teach her to take the clean clothes to the right rooms?
My orange tabby female, Newt, did this all the time whether the clothes were clean or dirty. When I lived with my brother and sister in law, they were a bit scared of her howling as she normally had a sweet voice. I explained that she was playing a hunting game, and the howl was a victory cry. After my explanation, it became a family joke to see socks and underwear in odd places in the house. It does no harm-it's enrichment play for indoor cats.
Put your dirty laundry in a hamper with a lid.
I had a cat when I was a kid do that all time, but only with one particular pair of striped socks. Clean or dirty, she didn't care. He's just having fun driving you nuts.
My cat carries around a rabbit foot key chain & makes the same sad howling sound. I figure it is some sort of hunting instinct. He also howls like that when my hubby leaves for work at 11:pm. I always thought it was a way of mourning his absence, they are crazy about each other.
Trish in CT
OMG, I can't believe there are other cats that are doing this. My female has been doing this for about 3-4 months. It started happening about 2 months after we moved in with my boyfriend. I could understand if it started happening right after we moved in but she was completely normal for 2 months after her change of environment and now she drags laundry all over the house, clean, dirty, folder, unfolded it does not matter. She also makes a strange meowing sound when she does this. Anyone know of someplace that might be able to solve the mystery?
My 1 year old cat carries dirty socks only up from basement and meows a sttange sad meow! Why?

Creating a 2-D rendition on canvas requires either the ability to masterfully wield a paintbrush or the strength to flatten a fruit bowl. Discover your artful brawn with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $59 for two seats in a 2.5-hour painting workshop (up to a $120 value)
Couples, friends, and other duos spend 2.5 hours completing a painting in a theme such as Impressionism or Fauvism. Guests have the choice between painting one piece together or painting individual pieces. These workshops take place in a group setting. While sipping any wine they've brought, students follow the instructor step by step, using provided acrylic paints, canvas, and brushes.
- $59 for three adult classes of your choice (a $120 value)
- $89 for a three-session child-and-adult painting class (a $360 value)
In the three-part child-and-adult painting class, children aged 4–8 are given the opportunity to paint in an environment that fosters spirit, self-reliance, and creativity. Paired with a guardian, students learn and practice different acrylic painting techniques. Intended for beginners, class members experience the creative process by selecting colors, shapes, and themes to complete a large canvas.
For both classes, see the schedule for class dates.
Art School # 99
Alexandra Rozenman's career has taken her from the Soviet underground to a prominent place among some of America's most revered cultural institutions. Born in Moscow, she found her footing alongside now-famous dissident artists before political pressures brought her to the United States as a refugee in the late 1980s. From that point on, her surrealistic, multilayered paintings have only gained momentum, taking her from an MFA at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts to international exhibitions—including an upcoming exhibit at the Multicultural Arts Center in Cambridge—to a fellowship with the MacDowell Colony, an illustrious group of bohemians whose members have included James Baldwin and Michael Chabon.
Having risked everything to follow her own politically conscious muse, Rozenman knows how important self-expression is to every artist. Accordingly, her classes at Art School # 99 arm students with the technical skills and supportive environment they need to bring their vision to life and the authority they need to keep it from running away and playing pranks on the mayor. Programs often reach beyond the canvas to embrace the artist as a whole person: classes might incorporate readings, movies, or collage techniques, and cultivate salon-style inspiration with French-impressionist-appropriate wine or russian tea.

Rebecca Baty, a member of the Conservative Party for 15 years and a woman for 10 years, is a staunch Thatcherite and will be standing for Haringey council in the Bruce Grove ward of Tottenham, one of London's most racially diverse areas.
Ms Bay told the Telegraph: "I don't get out of bed in the morning thinking, 'I'm a transsexual. It's not a big issue."
She added: "I've been a member of the party since 1986. I've always been a libertarian and I believe Margaret Thatcher represented a classically libertarian point of view."
Ms Baty said: "Of course I'm optimistic about the election, but it won't be easy. I expect some dirty tricks from certain opponents."
Labour activists in Tower Hamlets elected transsexual Paula Thomas to their women's council in 1996.

Centre for Vision in the Developing World
The Centre for Vision in the Developing World is a research centre of the University of Oxford founded to address the lack of proper eye care in the developing world. It is based at St. Catherine's College, Oxford, and is affiliated to the Department of Ophthalmology and the Department of Physics.
The Centre was founded and is directed by Professor Josh Silver, formerly an atomic physics professor and inventor of the Adspecs, self-adjustable glasses that allow the wearer to set their own prescription, removing the need for trained optometric personnel, which are hugely lacking in developing nations. The work he began is being continued by the Centre, with more scientific studies into the applicability of the process of self-refraction (setting your own prescription) and other related vision issues.

SUBMITTED: Friday, May 27, 2011POSTED: Friday, May 27, 2011
Agriya apologises for the inconvenience and stress caused to the author of the above report. We are deeply sorry to hear that you lost your job for life over the $3,100 project. Unfortunately Agriya doesn't have any record of attempts made to contact us to resolve the issue and all our contact details are listed on the website.
A full explanation of what happened is available in another report filed by the former employee mentioned in the report:
Needless to say that once we heard about the problem on this website we promptly provided a full refund. Agriya certainly wouldn't want to risk the reputation of the company and jeopardize the livelihoods of 200 staff over what is a relatively small amount of money compared to other projects we handle.
Agriya has worked with some of the biggest companies in the world including Cisco and Google and handles over 50 projects at any one time. We have completed thousands of projects over the last ten years and are confident that any complaint is a result of a communication gap or misunderstanding that can occur when outsourcing to a different country. For evidence of just a handful of our past projects please refer to the following page which contains over 700 independent reviews on Agriya and our services:
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
