In an interview with Contemporary Photography, Nancy Miller, owner says that sunset weddings and family portraits on the beach are the most popular for her clients. "Modern brides like a photojournalistic approach to their weddings than the old , 'grip and grin' style".
With their style of wedding photojournalism or documentary approach to weddings in Sarasota, they make sure they get that glisten of a tear in the eyes of the groom before it forms! "Actually it is all about the bride and groom and the photographer because they both interact with each other in that instant, so it is most important that there is a special bond between everyone." Contemporary Photography makes sure that in most of their wedding packages they include an engagement session just to become familiar with the couple's way of intereacting with each other. 'Laughter is the key' says Nancy. Whether it is a family sunset portrait on the beach, or a wedding on Siesta Key, or Sarasota, or Lido Beach, or Bradenton, Anna Maria Island or Lido Beach – no matter which area, laughter is the key to a great photography success. "The couples or family is relaxed and it shows in the photographs whether for beach photography or wedding photos." Contemporary Photography goes on to say.
With their distinct photojournalist style of photography Nancy and her team have captured many special moments and has received many accolades for their photojournalism and praise for their wedding photography and family photographs.

We offer you something special for your photography needs.
We have come to find that our clients appreciate a touch of photojournalism in their photographs. Gone are the days when a Siesta Key Sunset Wedding Photographer would just line smiling people up to face the camera for a simple, tired photograph. Our approach instead is to capture relaxed images of people, not stiff and awkward shots.

Whether we are shooting Senior Portraits Siesta Key or Sunset Family Portraits Siesta Keys we know that a photograph is all about the interaction. It may be the interaction between the subjects of the photograph or it may be the interaction between the subject and the camera. Either way, it is this interaction that turns a still photo into a realistic representation of people and events that you can keep for a lifetime. We show who people are and their relationships with our photographs and you will surely appreciate the end result of this approach.

Austin Ranks Third on Forbes' Cities with Best Job Markets
Texas is heating up fast as one of the states with the best job markets in the U.S.! Forbes ranked five Texas cities in the 10 'Best Cities For Good Jobs', with Austin placing third on the list. Dallas came in first, Houston in second, Fort Worth in fourth, and San Antonio in sixth place.
Using Moody's Analytics data on the 100 largest metro areas, Forbes accounted for factors like rebounding markets, per capita income and unemployment rates. Austin's per capita income of $35,222 is just below the national average of $37,000 while the local unemployment rate of 5.2 percent is fairly below the national average of 8 percent. A few distinct factors attributing to Austin becoming one of the cities with the best job markets in the U.S. include increasing high-tech jobs from California and an increase in employment in government, construction, and education.
As a state, the Moody's data showed that Texas did not suffer as much as others did in the financial crisis. And as a ciity, Dallas Federal Reserve Economist Pia Orrenius puts it best: "The hottest place to be in Texas is Austin. They're just booming."
Forbes' Top 10 Cities with Best Job Markets:
- Dallas, TX
- Houston, TX
- Austin, TX
- Fort Worth, TX
- Seattle, WA
- San Antonio, TX
- Oklahoma City, OK
- Denver, CO
- San Francisco, CA
- Salt Lake City, UT

Keith Urban didn't make it to country legend Don Williams' shows at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville last week.
But when Keith found himself at the storied venue for a photo shoot at the same time Williams' equipment was there, well, Keith couldn't resist, he told listeners to Sirius XM's The Highway channel.
"All his equipment is set up on the stage and his famous stool," Keith said.
"I just grabbed my guitar and jumped up on that stool and no one was around. [Don] had [left] the set list from the night before, and I just got my guitar and, to myself, picked just a little of every song on the set list like a total geeky fan.
"I was 12 instantly. It was awesome." And that's not all, folks.
"His bus was outside. I went and took a picture of it like a total touristy fan. I've never taken a picture of anyone's bus."

A Quote by Jean Baudrillard on discovery, good, and life
One of life's primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for you, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustn't hide too well. You mustn't be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.

Lack of AU troops hindering Ethiopian withdrawal from Somalia - Condoleezza Rice
Issue 302
By Bonny Apunyu.
Washington DC, October 29, 2007 – Ethiopia has not been able to withdraw from Somalia because the African Union (AU) has not been able to provide the peacekeepers needed to replace its troops, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday.
"I don't think there's any doubt that the Ethiopians don't want to stay in Somalia. And one of the things that we're trying to do is to work with the African Union to get that security force, the peacekeeping force, ready for Somalia," Rice testified in Congress.
Rice said problems in Sudan, Cote d'Ivore and other parts of Africa had made it "challenging" for the African Union to raise troops simultaneously.
"The A.U. has its challenges because they're trying simultaneously to raise forces for Sudan, for Somalia, to keep efforts going in Cote d'Ivoire and in other places. So it's a challenge. But we are very attentive to what needs to be done in Somalia," Rice responded to a question which was particularly raised by Congressman Donald Payne.
Payne last month managed to have congress pass a controversial bill [HR 2003] which has had supporters and critics.
The Democrat from New Jersey also inquired regarding the situation between Ethiopia and Eritrea and asked the Secretary of State Rice what the United States was doing to pressurize Ethiopia to accept the boundary commission's ruling.
"...the Ethiopia-Eritrean situation and bottoming the demarcation of the borders had not been accepted by Ethiopia, our big ally in Africa. And I wonder if our administration is urging Ethiopia to accept the agreement that they said they would accept from The Hague as relates to the border dispute between Eritrea and Ethiopia?"
In answering that question Rice said that while the US is "saying to the Ethiopians that certain things need to be done," it had however been difficult to get Eritrea to cooperate.
"It has been difficult to talk to Eritrea, frankly. We've had trouble getting them to talk to us. And I sent our assistant secretary to talk with Mr. Isaias, and he didn't see her," Rice said.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called for restraints two weeks ago between Ethiopia and Eritrea, as both countries are trading blames and reports are indicating that there has been an increase in troop deployment in and around the Temporary Security Zone.
The Secretary-General, who called on the two countries to exercise "utmost restraint" and maintain their commitment to the Algiers Agreements, also said they should preserve the integrity of the Temporary Security Zone (TSZ), where UNMEE is deployed as peacekeeping mission.

Notes on prospects who stood out yesterday, including Mariners first baseman D.J. Peterson and A's lefty Sean Manaea.
Hitter of the Day: D.J. Peterson, 1B, Seattle Mariners (Peoria Javelinas) 2-4, 2 HR
Peterson is following up a disappointing 2015 MiLB regular season with a strong start out of the gate in the AFL. That's important for the once-polished third-base prospect as he's essentially moved across the infield, and his bat will have to play up to expectations at first. Peterson's early performance offers hope that he can tap into his power and have a strong bounce-back year in 2016.

Class Trip in Wine Country
There are a lot of ways in which Napa is different from the rest of the world. Take, for example, the fact that Napa elementary school children receive winery tours. On a day that I was visiting Spottswoode Estate, a class of third graders from St. Helena came by for their annual tour. Yes, third graders are taught about vineyard management as well as winemaking basics in the Napa Valley.
Some of the children are the offspring of famous winemakers (no names, however, will be provided here) while others have nothing to do with the business at all. And their questions ranged according – from "Is that an owl house?" to "Do you have problems with the European gray moth?" – as one tow-headed girl inquired of the vineyard manager leading the tour.
The tour, which lasted about half an hour, was remarkably similar to the adult experience- including the spontaneous toast at the end- though theirs was conducted with paper cups and grape juice.

Anorexic model who appeared in shock fashion campaign dies at 28
Isabelle Caro, a French actress and model whose anorexic image appeared in a shock Italian ad campaign, has died at the age of 28.
Dubreuil-Prevot said she did not know the cause of death but that Caro 'had been sick for a long time,' referring to her anorexia.
Caro featured in an ad campaign by Italian photographer Oliviero Toscani in 2007 for an Italian fashion house.
Under the headline 'No Anorexia,' images across newspapers and billboards showed Caro naked, vertebrae and facial bones protruding.
At 5ft 4in, she is reported to have weighed just 4st 8lb (68lbs) at the time.
Caro, who had her own blog site, said she had suffered from anorexia since she was 13 as the result of a 'difficult childhood'.

Statistics show that the chances of a black/african dying from anorexia is slim to nill. Now obesity on the other hand..I even blogged about it.
Either way these are mental illnesses and its so difficult for someone to reach another when they are locked in thier thoughts. I bet this lady had this mental image of herself as being too fat, when the reality was different.And no one would have been able to convince her otherwise. And who wants to bet that this started from childhood with one mumu saying 'isabel you are too fat, no one will ever love you' etc etc. Forgive my ranting, I dey vex! Its just sad how people's maltreatment/misyarnings go on to affect lives!!
May her soul RIP.

Nigerian women should take note since all of them want to jump on the bony bang wagon. I have a friend right here in Lagos who drinks laxatives twice a day to purge herself, na she sabi! There is a huge difference between being healthy, watching one's eating and working out AND having an unhealthy body image which cause a person to take drastic measures such as Bulimia and Anorexia just to keep their weight down. I had a cousin who during her modeling hey day would down a couple of peanut and a can of coke all in an attempt to keep her weight down.
Na una sabi! I could stand to lose a few pound but I will do it the old fashion way, eat right, exercise and get enough sleep.
If you ask that girl now, I am sure she wish she had had that damn bacon cheese burger now but it is too late. 28 years old, God rest her soul and grant her family comfort.

Your will is the ego part of you that believes you're separate from others, separate from what you'd like to accomplish or have, and separate from God. It also believes that you are your acquisitions, achievements, and accolades. This ego will wants you to constantly acquire evidence of your importance... On the other hand, your imagination is the concept of Spirit within you. ...with imagination, we have the power to be anything we desire to be.

FA Report on Suarez
My impression is that the ten match decision was somewhat arbitrary, but if you accept the argument leading up to it, it had to be.
A lot of the report was about justifying that this was an exceptional incident. It was, of course. Apart from the Defoe incident which we have to put aside because he wasn't punished (when everyone in retrospect thinks he should have been) and the dutch Suarez incident, there is no history of it in consideration. The commission then went on to say that they thought an exemplary punishment (my words, not theirs) was appropriate, to express disapproval in the strongest way and discourage any other offenders. If you then believe they didn't take Suarez's history into consideration, they then plucked a figure from the air. If they did take Suarez's history into consideration then ten matches seems very plausible - both from an increase on the Dutch ban and also him having done eight matches for something else last year and being warned about his future conduct. So really, ten matches covers both bases.
The question is what will happen if there is another biting incident. Having claimed this wasn't about Suarez, it would seem that they have now set a tarriff for the offence. If a new offence gets less than that then it will be fair to question Suarez's punishment. If not, then not.
Mind you, the person most likely to be up on a biting charge in the future is ............

Robert first off I need to apologize, my previous post suggested you had not addressed the report, but that was before I saw this post, where obviously you have.
For me much of the report makes logical reading, and there is little I don't disagree with. The case of Violent Conduct was already proven, and yes the report spent most of its time addressing whether it was an exceptional incident or not, and I do think they showed that. In this area I think Suarez was wrong to try to justify the standard (3 match ban) was appropriate.
However where the thing breaks down for me is the sanction and where they try to justify it. In the report they clearly state they have not considered Suarez's history, so I assume we have to take them at their word. However they also state they did not pluck the 10 games out of the air, but looked for similar cases as a benchmark (despite also saying they could not always rely on past cases as things evolve - which to me sounds like a license to make it up as they go, but maybe that's just me). However the Suarez team provided 10 cases they felt were equivalent to justify keeping the punishment to 3 matches. We don't know what these cases were, other than the Defoe incident.
I can understand them wanting to ignore the Defoe case as its a bad precedent, although its the only precedent we have. Therefore rather than writing it off as dissimilar (which its obviously not as its one of the very few biting cases in the English game) they should have stated why it was a bad precedent. I assume they did not as this would have openly stated the ref on the day was wrong, which is something the FA finds it can rarely do.
Instead it comes up with two cases for comparison. First a player kicking a ball boy (one I'm sure your familiar with) and second a player from the Championship who tripped a ref. Now is it just me, or do neither of these seem even close to the Suarez case. But some how they decide the first is not extraordinary (although its the first case I've heard of a player attacking a boy boy) and the second is, but that Suarez's offense is markedly worse so deserves a higher sanction.
Surely they could of come up with at least one other case which was a bit more like what happened between Suarez and Ivonovic. Maybe one involving two players. Maybe one involving violent conduct. Maybe something like Gaston Rameriez elbowing out of frustration, resulting in a red card but no more, or any other case. Or maybe other cases would have been difficult to square with a 10 match ban as its unprecedented.
Sorry but 80% of the report for me makes perfect sense, however the other 20% looks like its been made up or crammed together so that the conclusion can be a 10 match ban.

Advances in network architecture are changing application and service delivery. The wireless industry, for example, now talks of service grids — collections of separate wireless services collated from across the network. However, with current limitations in mobile device capabilities, a scalable and efficient middleware platform is essential. The authors' new middleware architecture, called Scalable Inter-Grid Network Adaptation Layers (Signal), integrates mobile devices with existing grid platforms to conduct peer-to-peer operations through proxy-based systems. Combining mobile P2P applications with grid technologies could ultimately give mobile devices the power of supercomputers.

Hodgson on Dalglish...
i think its time up for dalglish inept at his job can't beat wba theirs something wrong i think we need a younger manager
What an absolute tool of a statement.
Plastic fans. Who needs them!

You maybe on to something, the inability to get 3 points from WBA may need to be the final test on if a manager is good enough. So following that logic what do you recon, Bruce at Sunderland, McLeish at Birmingham, Mancini at City, Wenger at Arsenal, Hughes at Fulham, Moyes at Everton, Holloway at Blackpool to name just a few, plus of course our own Dalglish should all be down the Unemployment office right now instead of managing in the prem.
Word of advice, if your trying a wind up, you might want to actually read up so you can back up your statements, if your being serious, then sorry. Really, I'm sorry.

I was "introduced", you might say, to the Kennedys when I was thirteen, in 1960.
My father, who had supported Eisenhower in 1952 and Stevenson in 1956, was supporting Kennedy in the 1960 election. JFK and my dad both graduated in the Class of 1940 from Harvard. Although I was born in California, to where my father had escaped his Bostonian parents after World War II, there was a little Kennedy in both of us. I inherited mine from my dad, of course. As for him, it was impossible to grow up a middle-class Catholic in Boston without being touched by the politics - Honey Fitz, the Saltonstalls, the McCormacks, James Curley, the Cabot Lodges, the O'Neills.
My dad died in November of 1960, just days before Kennedy became president. Three years and 11 days later, Kennedy was dead. By then, Teddy Kennedy had been elected to John's Senate seat and I had been taken to Boston with my grandparents - the same people from whom my dad had fled after the war.
My father, Paul, and the Kennedys had something deep and abiding in both their souls and hearts: a sense that one's purpose was to be of service to others. Paul did that in the only way available to him, as a high school teacher (and just before he died, a college professor) dedicated to the highest level of education for all his students. He was always on the edge of trouble with his employers, because he saw and fought the evils of educational institutions' morphing into corporate training camps and statistically tracking children into segments destined to be marched into predestined careers. My dad, you see, was not a "go along, get along" sort of guy. He died, I think, of a broken heart.
My father's sudden death of a heart attack triggered a depression in me that I carry a bit even to this day. I miss him. The violence and unearthly suddenness of John Kennedy's death, when I was sixteen, in turn, triggered a month-long psychic break that nearly hospitalized me with fear and grief. It was impossible, but shattering, that two men so young and with such depth of value could just cease to exist without reason or warning.
My father and JFK did share other similarities, but dedication to helping others be the best they could be was key. My dad did that is his way, Kennedy in his. I think they both died because of that dedication. The ruling class did not much appreciate an up-start Irish Catholic rich boy challenging their power and agenda ...

I have had much in common with Ted Kennedy. I guard my anonymity carefully in these pages, but it seems appropriate to reveal that, in "real" life, I share his nickname. We also share a history of debilitating struggles with alcohol, as well as late-in-life resolution of those struggles; failed marriages ('though Kennedy's second turned out a lot better than mine); and some serious life mistakes.
But most of all, we shared a common vision - that a society which works for the happiness, safety, justice, and health of all is a society which will endure and flourish. One which does not, one which nurtures divisions, competitiveness over cooperation and consensus in social matters, and hatred, will wither and die.
Let me share one of my personal experiences with Ted Kennedy, for having worked in Massachusetts and national political settings, I had the opportunity to meet him several times:
In the late seventies, I served as a program director with a community action agency in the "war on poverty" effort, as it was being strangled by the Nixon and Carter administrations. In this position, I traveled several times to Washington in lobbying efforts to attempt to restore funds that had been stripped from pending federal budgets.
On the first trip, we were scheduled to meet with Senator Kennedy at about eleven a.m., just after he finished with a senate judiciary committee hearing.
We went to the committee room about ten o'clock to listen and wait. We noticed that Kennedy seemed saggy and pale. Sure enough, after ten minutes, two very large men approached Kennedy from the aisle and, obviously physically supporting him, escorted him from the room. A minute later, an aide informed us our meeting would be on the senate office building steps later that afternoon.
We had some lunch and kept our other appointments with George McGovern, Jacob Javitz, and others, then gathered in the appointed spot at quarter after three. At exactly three-thirty, three men, the senator and his two "assistants" strode toward us at a lively pace, Kennedy at least ten yards in the lead. He bounded up the steps with that massive grin of his and greeted us, all twenty, with a hearty "Great tuh seeyuh!". Then he shook each of our hands with a personal quip to each (mine was about our nickname) and talked to us for a solid half hour about our concerns for the budget and strategy to restore funds. He knew the issues thoroughly and pledged support. He later followed through with masterful floor moves.
During the meeting, I looked in his eyes several times. He was thoroughly stoned, undoubtedly on painkillers he took for a back injury sustained in a small plane crash several years earlier. Although I had several years of sobriety under my belt then, I felt a kinship. He was a very human individual who took his job very seriously. He carried a heavy burden with a zest that seems to have been lost to the public servants we see now in those rooms on the Hill.
Because of the myopia of the media, Ted Kennedy may be narrowly remembered: Chappaquiddick, drinking problems, womanizing and ... health care. But, know it personally or not, Kennedy was involved in every aspect of American politics. I might be dead if it were not for public funding for jobs programs, social and mental health services programs, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other programs that help people who need it, all championed by Ted Kennedy.
I do not agree with every stand he took. He voted to become involved in Afghanistan; he initially support No Child Left Behind; he was a strong friend of Zionism. So be it. There's not one woman or man on this planet with whom I totally agree. And Ted Kennedy, better than most people, knew instinctively how to deal with that.
I will miss Ted Kennedy - for his dedication and commitment; his integrity; and for all the joy and sadness that he, as a human, presented to so many millions.
Good night, Senator

Tutorial - The Captain of the Capstan
This tutorial is complete
Updated with clearer, more succinct illustrations
Hello all! In the spirit of Horry's recent tutorials based around making more historically accurate nautical vessels I've decided to help him spread the wealth of knowledge that is to be had.
I plan to update this thread every so often with a new capstan design for all the different ships that are of interest to the great patrons of these forums.
Seeing how it seems most applicable I first present the capstan assembly for rated men-of-war from the late 17th century till the end of the age of sail.(Those being frigates and ships-of-the-line.)
Part I: Rated Men-of-War from pre- and post-Napoleonic era.
"'All hands unmoor ship,' said Jack, raising his voice to the pitch of an
order, though every man had been at his station these ten minutes past,
angrily willing the pilot to stop his prating, to stash it, to pipe down;
and instantly the bosun sprung his call.
'See,' cried Stephen, 'the carpenter and his crew put the bars in the
capstan - they ship them, pin them and swift them.'
'They bring the messenger to the capstan: the gunner ties its rounded
ends together. What are they called, Maturin?'
'Let us not be too pedantic, for all love. The whole point is, the
messenger is now endless: it is a serpent that has swallowed its own tail.'
'I cannot see it,' said Standish, leaning far out over the rail. 'Where is
this messenger?'
'Why,' said Martin, 'it is that rope they are putting over the rollers just
beneath us in the waist, a vast loop that goes from the capstan to two
other stout vertical rollers by the hawse-holes and so back.'
'I do not understand. I see the capstan, but there is no rope round it at
'What you see is the upper capstan,' said Stephen with some
complacency. 'The messenger is twined about the lower part, under the
quarterdeck. But both the lower and the upper part are equipped with
bars: both turn: both heave, as we say. See, they undo the deck-stoppers,
or dog-stoppers as some superficial observers call them - they loosen the
starboard cable, the cable on the right-hand side - they throw off the
turn about the riding-bitts! What force and dexterity!'
'They bring the messenger to the cable - they bind it to the cable with
'Where? Where? I cannot see.'
'Of course not. They are right forward, by the hawse-holes, where the
cable comes into the ship, under the forecastle.'
'But presently,' said Stephen in a comforting tone, 'you will perceive the
cable come creeping aft, led by the messenger.'
John Foley, the Shelmerston fiddler, skipped on to the capstan-head; at
his first notes the men at the bars stepped out, and after the first turns
that brought on the strain, three deep voices and one clear tenor sang
Yeo heave ho, round the capstan go,
Heave men with a will
Tramp and tramp it still
The anchor must be weighed, the anchor must be weighed
joined by all in a roaring
Yeo heave ho
Yeo heave ho
five times repeated before the three struck in again
Yeo heave ho, raise her from below
Heave men with a will
Tramp and tramp it still
The anchor's off the ground, the anchor's off the ground
'There is your cable,' said Martin in a very much louder voice, after the
first few lines.
'So it is,' said Standish; and having stared at it coming in like a great
wet serpent he went on, 'But it is not going to the capstan at all.'
'Certainly not,' said Stephen in a screech above the full chorus. 'It is far
too thick to bend round the capstan; furthermore, it is loaded with the
vile mud of Tagus.'
'They undo the flippers and let the cable down the main hatchway and
so to the orlop, where they coil it on the cable-tiers,' said Martin. 'And
they hurry back with the flippers to bind fresh cable to the messenger as
it travels round.'
'How active they are,' observed Stephen. 'See how diligently they answer
Captain Pullings' request to light along the messenger, that is to say pull
along the slack on that side which is not heaving in -'
'And how they run with the flippers: Davies has knocked Plaice flat.'
'What are those men doing with the other cable?' asked Standish.
'They are veering it out,' answered Martin quickly.
'You are to understand that we are moored,' said Stephen. 'In other
words we are held by two anchors, widely separated; when we
approach the one, therefore, by pulling on its cable, the cable belonging
to the other must necessarily be let out, and this is done by the veering
cable-men. But their task is almost over, for if I do not mistake we are
short stay apeak. I say we are short stay apeak.'
But before he could insist upon this term, better than any Martin could
produce, and reasonably accurate, a voice from the forecastle called
'Heave and a-weigh, sir,' whereupon Jack cried 'Heave and rally' with
great force. All the veerers ran to the bars, the fiddler fiddled extremely
fast, and with a violent, grunting yeo heave ho they broke the anchor
from its bed and ran it up to the bows.
The subsequent operations, the hooking of the cat to the anchor-ring,
the running of the anchor up to the cat.head, the fishing of the anchor,
the shifting of the messenger for the other cable (which of course
required a contrary turn), and many more, were too rapid and perhaps
too obscure to be explained before Jack gave the order 'Up anchor' and
the music started again; but this time they sang
We'll heave him up from down below
Way oh Criana
That is where the cocks do crow
We're all bound over the mountain
to the sound of a shrill sweet fife.
The ship moved easily, steadily over the water - the tide was making fast
- and presently West, on the forecastle, called 'Up and down, sir.'
'He means that we are directly over the anchor,' said Stephen. 'Now you
will see something.'
'Loose topsails,' said Jack in little more than a conversational voice, and
at once the shrouds were dark with men racing aloft.
He gave no more orders. The Surprises lay out, let fall, sheeted home,
hoisted and braced the topsails with perfect unity, as though they had
all served together throughout a long commission. The frigate gathered
way, plucked the anchor from its bed and moved smoothly up the
- excerpt from The Thirteen-Gun Salute by Patrick O'Brian
The capstan assembly is the device used to raise and lower the ship's anchor(s). The capstan is a vertical-axled machine passing through at least two decks depending on the size of the vessel. It is operated by up to 100 men, again depending on the size of ship.
Here we see an exterior view of the bow of a 2 decker ship-of-the-line. The cable anchor passes through the hawse holes. It does not connect directly to the capstan (as we'll see). At this time in history the anchor was so large that it would break the capstan was it to wrap directly around it. It also took several men to handle the cable.
Okay. So here we can see all the inner workings. The way it all works is this: the messenger cable is wound around the trundlehead. (It would have been wound much more than once as pictured, but can't do it in LDD with those tubes.) The messenger cable then ran around the rollers and rode on the bits to keep it off the deck. (Also when the ship is "at anchor" the anchor cable is wove around the bits. This is how it keeps the ship in place. Otherwise the end of the anchor cable would just slide out the hawse hole and someone would have to handle another rope's end. ) The anchor cable was lashed to the messenger cable with bits of rope called nippers. (The nipper lashings would have extended from the hawse holes down the length of cable all the way to the hatch, not just the two I have pictured.) As a nipper reached the cable hatch a small boy (called a Nipper) would untie the lashing and run up to the forward bulkhead to tie it onto the cable that was just coming through the hawse hole. Down in the orlop were several strong and hearty lads who man-handled the anchor cable to lay and stack it neatly. (Though not displayed here, since the pre-fab hull pieces cut off some depth, the area of deck the cable was laid on had several planks missing so that air could circulate about the cable to dry it.
A note on the deck location for different sized men-of-war. As previously stated the displayed ship would be a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th rate "two decker." Were this a 1st or 2nd rate three-decker the trundlehead would extend up one more deck and there would be a second drumhead there. On a frigate: the deck where the trundlehead is shown would be the single gun-deck and the drumhead would be on the main deck (aka weatherdeck). With most frigates the capstan was light enough that when not in use it was bodily lowered into the gun deck to clear the main deck and a ship's launch was stored there.
A note on capstan location within the ship: Whilst pictured here just abaft the foremast the location of the capstan (trundlehead and drumhead) could be as far aft as just fore the mainmast.
I think that's about it. I'll probably do un-rated napoleonic ships next.
Questions, comments, concerns, critiques and criticisms are all welcome.

The lights are on
Smooth McGroove is rapidly becoming a YouTube mainstay for fans of game soundtracks. His rendition of Guile's theme from Street Fighter II makes everything better..
You may not have heard of Mr. McGroove yet, but I can almost guarantee that after watching this video you'll seek out as much of his work as you can. If I might make a suggestion, his rendition of the Spark Mandrill stage music from Mega Man X, the Gerudo Valley theme from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and the (in)famous sounds of Mega Man 2's Wily Castle theme would be fine places to start.
Thanks, Smooth. We all needed this today. Want more McGroove? Check him out on his Facebook page.

Fate of Prisoners From Afghan War Remains Uncertain
By NEIL A. LEWIS
Published: April 24, 2003
U.S. NAVAL AIR STATION, Guantánamo Bay, Cuba — Fifteen months after the first hooded and shackled detainees arrived at a primitive tent facility known as Camp X-Ray, some 664 prisoners seized after the Afghan war remain here in a legal, political and geographical limbo.
The hastily erected tents have been replaced by more permanent structures. Each cell has a metal bed stenciled with a bright yellow arrow pointing to Mecca. The heavily guarded and isolated Islamic world created here on the southeastern coast of Cuba has also undergone some cultural adaptations over the last year.
It is the only United States military base where the lilting Muslim call to prayer is heard five times a day over loudspeakers as part of the Pentagon's intensive program to demonstrate respect for the detainees' Islamic faith.
"What they hear is the actual call as it's heard in either Mecca or Medina, depending on what CD I choose to play that day," said Capt. Youseff Yee, the Islamic chaplain. Detainees are supplied with prayer caps, prayer oils, beads and copies of the Koran. They have also developed a fondness for the bagels they are served as part of their bread ration.
With the United States on the verge of releasing 7,000 prisoners seized during the war in Iraq, lawyers and human rights advocates say they hope the contrast with the long detentions here will put more pressure on the administration to deal with the people captured in Afghanistan and other countries in the campaign against terrorism.
To a small extent, the military has begun to do that. In mid-March, 22 prisoners were released from Guantánamo, sent back to Afghanistan with blue jeans, new copies of the Koran and, on average, an additional 13 pounds from a diet that is similar to that of the soldiers who guard them. At the other end of the spectrum, the Pentagon is preparing soon to bring a handful of inmates before a military tribunal.
But the majority of the detainees still face an uncertain future on an island chosen explicitly for its unusual features. Not only is the base lodged on sovereign territory of Cuba, a nominally hostile country, and ringed by a 17-mile-long fence with armed watchtowers on both sides. Two federal courts have also said that despite the fact that it is totally under United States control, the base is outside the reach of United States law because it is technically part of Cuba.
There have been no credible reports of abuse or substantial complaints about the physical conditions of the detainees. The criticisms from the human rights groups that look after such issues have been more encompassing; that is, that the United States has detained the men indefinitely without any legal rights.
The military will give only approximate numbers of detainees and the number of nations they represent, about 40. But Dr. Najeef bin Mohamad Ahmed al-Nauimi, a former justice minister in Qatar, who is representing nearly 100 of the detainees, said he had a good idea of who was imprisoned at Guantánamo.
The largest group, about 150, are Saudis, he said in an interview, and he represents many of them. There are also 83 Yemenis and 53 Pakistanis, he said, and a sprinkling of others, including some Canadians, Britons, Algerians and one Swede.
Prisoners from Afghanistan are still being sent here. Naeem Koochi, an Afghan tribal leader, was transferred here in late March.
Many international lawyers have argued that the United States is obliged under the Geneva conventions to hold tribunals to determine whether the detainees are prisoners of war. If they are, they contend, they should have been released when the fighting in Afghanistan ended. But the United States says the Guantánamo inmates are "unlawful combatants," and do not qualify for prisoner-of-war status.
Sir Adam Roberts, an Oxford University professor who is a leading authority on the law of war, said that the United States might not be obliged to treat them as prisoners of war but that officials should recognize that they had some international legal rights. "The U.S. has paid a huge price in international opinion," he said. "In Britain, people see Guantánamo as a symbol of American defiance of international norms."
Christophe Girod, leader of the International Committee of the Red Cross mission in Washington, said committee representatives had been able to visit all the detainees and to help them write letters home. The committee representatives make known their views on conditions to American officials and will not discuss them publicly as part of the understanding by which they gain access.
People familiar with the discussions between the Red Cross and the Pentagon's lawyers say there have been no serious complaints about the physical conditions. The discussions have rather been principally about the nature of the indefinite detention and the slow pace in releasing detainees against whom there is no evidence of wrongdoing.
"They are obviously very concerned about the Guantánamo situation and the indefinite component," Sir Adam said.

I love this position so much. I love the feeling of being pushed into this position, my legs pressed back against my chest. And I love how deep he can get, how good it feels when his cock hits those places inside of me.
To get in to the Folded Deck Chair position, the receiver lays on their back, pivots their hips so that their legs are on the giver's shoulders, while the giver enters from a kneeling position while supporting some of their weight on the receiver's legs. A favorite of many men because of the sense of power that comes from folding their partner, the position definitely doesn't leave the receiver out. When the giver leans on the receiver legs, it improves the angle of penetration to better target the g-spot or prostate gland.
(For the less flexible, the receiver can pivot the hips lower to place the legs in the air, under the giver's shoulders; see Deck Chair).
I read all the praise about this position and I must say that I don't like it at all. When my boyfriend and I try this it makes me feel like I have to pee. All I can do is concentrate so much on not having to pee that I don't enjoy anything. Are we doing this wrong? Is there something wrong with me or his technique?
I got advice elsewhere about the feeling of having to pee in this position. I was told that it means I am about to ejaculate. They were so right. You have to try this girls. The feeling of having to pee will go away in a couple of minutes and be replaced by complete and total bliss that lasts for some time. Go, try it now. What are you still doing reading this post. Grab your man and get going already.
Couldn't find our favorite but this one is closest. Instead of the legs in the air, they are pinned behind her shoulders which raises her ass up. Doing that allows for tremendous pressure to be exerted on her g-spot by the pisitoning cock.
When we really heat up I raise up with all my weight on her thighs and get to the deep hard strokes that she loves.
Its a great spot for watching the cock go in and out with your lover. Overall our favorite for depth, pressure, view and g-spot squirting.
This is by far my favorite position. You can have it deep and hard, but also slow and sensual. It's also a super turn on to see the guy's o-face in this one. He can't hide it and you can feel it going through him. An absolute favorite!
because he can move fast and deep, i enjoy it too.
I really enjoyed this position, but never actually orgasmed from it. I don't know if it was the tension I felt in my legs or what but I know that once I started yoga and stretched everytime before, this has become one of my favorites. Yes, he can get deep but you can also make it very sensual and loving which is always a treat :)
I love this one!! The guy gets to penetrate extremely deep. I'm really tight and when me and my ex boyfriend did this it made me tighter. When he orgasmed he couldn't even stay inside me it felt so good. I wanna do this again soon!!!
My wife loves this position. It's quite a deep thrust. Very much a go to position.
just tryed this last night w/ my boyfriend and LOVED. He made me cum 3 times. TRY THIS!!!!!
i had it wz my Gf yesterday , and she had 8 orgasms :S :D yahooooooooooooooo
Haha, my favorite position ever! My boyfriend was in a rush to get his son off the bus from school so we only had nine minutes remaining to ourselves. We just got out of the shower, and boy, Im telling you, we need to be in a rush more often. Up went the legs, in he went and the pace just got me moaning like no tomorrow. He hit me in the right spot more times then I could moan his name. And the deeper he was able to go with how he held my legs, I was ready to burst at the seams. Funny thing is, he didnt realize he was doing a different position. Haha. I was left winded.
Great position. Today was a blast, goodness me.
I've never enjoyed a position more than this one. We locked eyes, he was going to town on me. I was off in another dimension. He kept hitting my spot over and over. (This is great for thick couples, ladies stretch your legs before hand & you won't have an issue)
I ended up wanting him even more and I rode him like a mechanical bull. Until I cam UNCONTROLLABLY, all while my legs were shaking. I just kept pushing through the climaxes until I fell over panting. He was SHOCKED that I did that. I told him that position just get me all fired up. It brought the spark out from when we were teenagers. <3 gosh. <:} TRY THIS!!!!!!!
Awesome position as long as the girls legs are long enough ... nothing gets deeper than this.
AnnieBoo, it's probably the difference in height or how long your legs are.
this is my fave! omg! my boy toy and i did this the other day and he hit my gspot just right and omg it was amazing, and him seeing how flexible i am really got him going too ;)
I love this position. I orgasmed 3 times! Just looking through all these positions is making me so wet
I did this with my boyfriend over and over. I got the full penetration. Hits the G spot and got me to orgasm a number of times
Can someone please enlighten me & tell me why is this position a bit painful to me? I just started being sexually active; everytime me & my boyfriend get in this position it hurts me so bad; I've tried the "pillow" under the butt & it's the same thing. So usually I just put my feet flat on his chest instead; it feels better & not painful. Is it our height difference, or is it just that we're not doing it right? :/
This one really hurts me with my current BF too, and it's not that you're doing anything wrong, it's the position of where your vagina and his penis are. For some people, this position just doesn't work. The best thing I can recommend is that you put a pillow under the middle of your back, not your but, and raise your legs up behind his shoulders, not in front of them. This lowers the angle usually enough to make it comfortable.
This is one of my favorite positions to do with my boyfriend. He goes deeper in me when we do it and it feels so good. I highly suggest couples to this. Men; you girl will love it because she will have the most awesome orgasm.
In Barbados this is called 'The Baked Fowl/Chicken' A great position for tasting and f--king. My wife and I Love it.
I do a position like this, but with just one leg up. I have only just started having sex, and tried like this briefly, but it hurt soo much...think it was just too deep for me atm. Would like to try soon when I'm more used to it :) Does the pain pass if you just keep at it?
Make sure u get nice and wet and it wont hurt even if he's well hung!
Oh Gawd! I miss this position! I gained weight and it isn't so easy to do anymore. And for those ladies who've given birth within the past year - be careful because this can seriously hurt an already traumatized area.
I had a hard time with sex, until I tried this position with my new guy, and I loved it! We didn't do it exactly what the picture shows (I'm not as flexible-so I lowered my legs on and off), but it was pretty much the same concept. It's a must to try!
If you've not tried this yet, DO IT ASAP! THE BEST!!!
Ok so I know i may be a little young but this is one of the best positions cause your face to face with your man and it feel as if its touching where you didn't even know existed. And i like him to take control, but not every time ;)
I did this move for the first time today, it happened by accident, he tried to fix his position and accidently lifted my leg, it was so deep i couldn't stop screaming, he noticed and pulled up my other leg and pounded me like crazy. I orgasmed so bad!
Ahh great sex :3
every girl ive ever had sex with, i always did this position and all the reactions were the same. They scream, squirt and their eyes roll in the back of their heads. So hot. I miss it.
I love this position. The couple of times I had sex we always ended up this way. It feels so good. I miss sex.
I have no complaints about this one the deeper it goes in the more it delights me and the wetter i becomeit turns him on when im so wet i Love feeling it right up inside me
My girl friend and I were together for 4 days after a long absence and we made love almost the entire time, losing count of our orgasms. As I fucked her in this position. I placed my arms under her elevated legs to help her hold them high and to give myself a clear shot at driving my cock deep and straight all the way up to my balls. Again she watched my shaft plunging in and out and moaned in pleasure which excited me to pound her harder. She climaxed first but I was not far behind. (Go to Drill, Sybian, Dancer, Cowgirl, Butterfly, Cross, Deck Chair, Scissors, Missionary, Missionary Inverted, Spread Eagle, Victory, and Usual.)
every time me and my fiance do this position i dont even cum and fiance comes in like 5 mins really dont like it
This is a great position, especially when the guy is on the smaller side! Even a small dick can get maximum penetration and feel wonderful!!
I remember i did this position the 2nd time i had sex. it felt painful a bit, becuz i was still unexperienced, but after a while it felt pleasurable.
I was the same way. The only guy I had sex with was way more experianced and the 2nd time we had sex we ended up like this alot. It hurt for a little bit but felt sooo good in the long run.
So which one did you try the 1st time?
You made quite a leap you brave girl.
the first time i did the butterfly and missionary.
love this position, the deepest i could get into the v, push the knees touch the breasts and legs over my shoulder, awesome! wondering if this should have a new name, lol!
I'm no scientist but I do do believe the unique position of the wommans legs combined with downward thrust of the man,makes this position the king of maximum thrust x full penetration.
Now depending on how heavy and fit he is and how small and supple she is an equation can be derived to get the newton force per square inch.
I'm willing to conduct this research with any willing partners and we can post our theoretical findings here.
Physics ftw!!!!!!!
lol that was such an enthusiastic comment. interesting too! ^_^
love this position. gets a lil sore on thighs but feels amazing.
help - can't have orgasm in this position
don't know if it is because I am over 40 and things may be desensitized
or because my BF has a beer belly and may not be in correctly
or if because I have gained weight which may be causing desensitization
any info - help
Pounds you HARD? LOL you are better of using a pounding rampant rabbit. I think most of comments/ suggestions seem so absurd and out of the world from reality. First of all it is nevessary to know, No 2 women/men are same. Needs, requirements amd tastes differ. More than blind pounding you need to be sensual and sensitive. Also, communicate with your partner regarding your preferences, likes and dislikes. Dont forget practice makes it better but not be at it like an ass thinking you always know better. Be flexible and above all be open to adopt and adapt to changes. An Orgasm is an orgasm which is not felt by everyone in the same way. Making love or having sex is all about enjoying it and not measuring the indepth of pounding etc per square inch. we ard human beings - we feel and sense. we are not machines or area etc to be measured. Be realistic and keep it real. your fantasies and dreams they are and let hem exactly that - fantazies and dreams.
he may not being going hard enough or hitting the right spot. however the desensitized is a possibility. I would say start in this position and make sure he pounds you HARD, until you are damn near crying from pleasure.
I do find it interesting that you cannot orgasm in this position , but hey every female is different
this position feels so good! :]
Yeah.....makes ur pussy tighter.....
when i first tried this position its hurt alot but now that im use the size of his penis its amazing. normaly we dont start with this position though. we go from oral to missonary and for him to get a better angle he throws my legs over his shoulders and it makes me cum 4 to 5 times every time and some times ill play with my clit at the same time and the clit oragasm really pushes him over the ends and he finishes with in minutes of me oragasming
it looks good but is it a good position
I LOVE THIS POSITION, but because it feels so damned good I can't last more than 20 or so minutes. Start with this then switch it up. Sometimes if we know we're on our last round of the day, I will pound her in this position. I don't think I've ever heard a woman scream so hard in my life. I love pounding in this position!

Georgios Samaras scored a dramatic injury time penalty to send Greece through to the last 16 for the first time.
The Greeks had gone ahead thanks to substitute Andreas Samaris' goal just before the break after a defensive howler from Cheick Tiote.
However, Ivory Coast looked to be heading through with the draw they needed when Wilfried Bony finished off a slick move 15 minutes from time.
But with just a minute remaining on the clock, Giovanni Sio clipped Samaras in the box and the striker got up to tuck away penalty and send Greece through.
Making Greece's win all the more remarkable is that they were able to recover from a double injury setback within the opening 25 minutes. First Panagiotis Kone pulled up with a hamstring strain before keeper Orestis Karnezis was forced to withdraw with a back injury.
They will now face Costa Rica in the second round as Ivory Coast are left to reflect on a third successive exit at the group stage.
PRE-MATCH: Dortmund's Sokratis Papastathopoulos will play his 50th game for Greece. Didier Drogba is preferred up front to Wilfried Bony and Giorgios Karagounis captains Greece in the absence of the banned Kostas Katsouranis.
11' – GREECE LOSE KONE: He pulls up with a hamstring problem and is out of the match.
24' – GREECE LOSE KARNEZIS: More bad news for the Greeks as their keeper goes off with a back injury, replaced by the one capped Glykos.
32' – GREECE HIT THE BAR: Greece counter from the corner and Samaras finds Cholevas who cracks a thunderous shot against the bar!
42' – GOAL GREECE: It's a terrible pass from Tiote and Samaras picks it up before passing to sub Samaris who slots home past Barry.
58' – BARRY SAVE: It's a ferocious drive from Salpingidis and the keeper parries it away.
67' – KARAGOUNIS HIT THE BAR: It's a fierce drive from fully 30 yards that shakes the woodwork.
74' – GOAL IVORY COAST: Bony finishes off a slick move, slotting home from Gervinho's pass.
90+3' – SAMARAS WINS IT: He's clipped in the area by Sio and gets up to calmly slot past Barry and send Greece through.
Greece have qualified for the knockout stage for the first time in their World Cup history.
Andreas Samaris netted Greece's first World Cup goal in 331 minutes of action.
He was the third Greek to score at the World Cup and the first as a substitute.
It is only the second World Cup game Greece have scored in, in nine attempts.
Gervinho has been involved in each of the last three World Cup goals scored by Ivory Coast (scoring two and assisting one).
Nine of Ivory Coast's 13 goals at the World Cup have been scored after the 60th minute of games.
It was only Greece's second win in their last nine games at World Cup (D1 L6).
Greece's Panagiotis Glykos was the first goalkeeper in this World Cup to be brought on from the bench.
It is the only the second time in nine games that both teams have scored in a World Cup game featuring Greece.
Georgios Samaras has ended his goalscoring drought of 1478 minutes with Greece. It was his first shot on target at the tournament in 270 minutes of action.
Greece's seven wins at major tournaments (World Cups & Euros): 1-0 (4 times) & 2-1 (3 times)
Horror errors cost Ivory Coast: They have only themselves to blame as schoolboy defending let them down. Tiote's woeful pass lead to Greece's first before Sio needlessly clipped Samaras in the box.
Andreas Samaris (Greece): Came off the bench to score a vital first and troubled Ivory Coast with his movement all evening.
Ivory Coast: Barry 6, Boka 6, K Toure 6, Kalou 6, Tiote 5, Gervinho 7, Drogba 5, Aurier 7, Y Toure 7, Die 6, Bamba 6. SUBS: Bony 7, Diomande 6, Sio 5
Greece: Karnezis 5; Maniatis 7, Manolas 6, Samaras 7, Kone 6, Karagounis 7, Salpingidis 6, Torosidis 6, Lazaros 7, Sokratis 6, Cholevas 7. SUBS: Samaris 8, Glykos 7, Gekas 6

If you're using the same tape every Mon,Tue,Wed, etc. try this:
Create a separate volume pool label "Monday", "Tuesday", Wednesday", etc.
Put each tape in it's respective volume pool.
Created 5 schedules within a single policy labeled accordingly, with the
frequency set to 1 week. Due to the way scheduling works in NBU, you may
want to set the frequency to 6 days instead of one week (if backups ever
run late you may miss the next weeks backups), just may sure your start windows
is only set for one day.Assign the appropriate volume pool to each schedule.
Monday schedule is frequency based for 1 week. Start windows is 1AM-5AM on
Monday. Retention is 1 week. Set volume pool to "Monday". Repeat for each
day of the week.
Problem with one tape/day-
Backup doesn't kick off until 3AM on Monday (for whatever reason) and the
retention is 1 week. The next week's Monday backup won't be able to start
until 3AM because the tape won't expire until then.
Or you could go with a library and avoid the situation altogether.
Hope that helps,
