31 year old man | Bradenton, FL, USA | Seeking women 18-35 within 50 miles

I am a 31 year old single guy, who is very good looking, modest ;), loves to cook, and in good shape. I am hard-working, loyal, honest to a fault, and will be actually able to hold a moderately intellectual conversation from time to time... In my line of work I have to plan my actions well before I make them, or it could be a very dangerous situation even potentially fatal for myself or my employees. To get myself out of my comfort zone of being prepared, two years I hopped a plane to London. I didn't know anyone there nor even where I was staying once I landed until right before I boarded. Now, I have several people I keep in contact with, and am looking forward to seeing again one day. My favorite people that I met was this couple from Spain my first night there. In a pub full of undone ties and pants suits, I spotted these two wearing leather. The girl had on a Motorhead shirt at a table in the corner and I decided to meet them. They hardly spoke any english, and my spanish is abysmal, but we had a blast bouncing from pubs to whiskey bars to ending at a blues club in a back alley. Too much to tell here, but it was an amazing experience to say the least. Hoping to find an attractive, fun(ny), down to earth, (relatively) sane chick on here. You have to be able to keep up with my smart ass too ;) Just want to be comfortable with my company, too much to ask? No one is perfect, and so I am not shallow and feel the need to have a mindless trophy on my arm. In fact I find myself more attracted to women who are completely confident in their own skin, and can hold a meaningful conversation. That's whats sexy to me. As long as you are down to earth and have a good sense of humor, I'm game! Hope to meet someone fun and am open to developing something serious.

That is simply the controllers the system has. Even an optical drive requires a controller.
Well, apparently you can't install a second hard drive, after looking inside the case.
All I can do then is put in an SSD, then use the original hard drive, in an external case, for Data storage/back-up.
I sure thought this indicated 2 drives ...

A newer Asus laptop fell on my doorstep today !
Full high def resolution LED screen
2.2 mHz Intel i7 CPU
8 gigs of RAM DDR3
750 gig hard drive.
I'll post pictures when I can find them.
Came from some outfit in Texas.
Now for the problems ...
There is NO Install DVD ... just the empty envelope.
Windows wants me to Activate today, and there is NO product key provided.
Oh -- one other thing, the Windows 7 installed says it is NOT genuine.
I plan to switch out the hard drive, sooner or later, and Install Windows Ultimate 64.
I'm having trouble finding the contact-seller info.
What's on the paperwork is not the name on Buy.com, and my model has apparently disappeared.
Thoughts & advice welcome.
I am posting from this cool but slightly disabled machine now.
Cheers ...

Sisters Reem and Natalya run the successful style blog
Five Five Fabulous. Reem lives in London and Natalya lives in Dubai, and the sisters regularly work between both cities and embrace both vibrant and diverse cultures.
With Eid approaching, Reem and Natalya chose to style the Willow Tote in Evergreen Leather and Suede from the Mulberry Eid Gifts selection. To reference their sisterly ties, both shot with a different part of the Willow, embracing its 'two-in-one' style. Reem's photos feature the Tote, while Natalya's showcase the zipped-off clutch.
"We absolutely love the Willow Tote! As sisters, we share everything and the Willow is the perfect piece for this. Natalya styled the clutch element of the bag with loose pants and a camisole out and about on London's Marylebone Hight Street and I decided to carry the tote and pair it with a fabulous pleated skirt and leather sandals in Mayfair."

This past June, the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) invited congregations of all faiths to join in a pubic witness against torture by displaying a banner which says simply, "Torture is wrong." I am proud that our Fellowship responded to that invitation and joined hundreds of congregations around the country and only one other here in South Carolina (a Quaker church in Myrtle Beach) in displaying that banner. Actually, we displayed two banners – one in our social hall for members and renters to see and one on the outside wall facing Woodrow Street for passers-by to
see. During the last several months, quite a few people I have met in the community have said to me once they discovered I was the minister of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, "Oh, that's the church with the anti-torture sign. I'm glad at least one church in this town will come out against torture."
The use of torture has made me ashamed of my government. Simulated drowning of prisoners called "waterboarding." Beating prisoners with metal batons. Jumping on prisoners' arms and legs until they break. Urinating and defecating on prisoners. Sexually abusing and humiliating prisoners, with prison guards posing proudly for pictures with broad smiles and giving the thumbs-up sign. In some cases killing prisoners either accidentally or intentionally. Kidnapping suspects and taking them to other countries, beyond the reach of the law's protection, where we employ proxies to perform our torture for us, called "extraordinary rendition." All of these acts were euphemistically referred to by the Bush administration as "enhanced interrogation techniques."
Truth is expressed simply. As our banner proclaims, "Torture is wrong." It violates the basic dignity of a human being. It contradicts everything we say we stand for. It emulates the very people we detest. It is degrading to everyone involved – perpetrators, victims, Presidents, Vice Presidents, Attorney Generals, and the citizens in whose name torture is committed.
The NRCAT, which represents over 130 religious groups including Roman Catholics, evangelical Christians, mainline Protestants, Quakers, Orthodox Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, and Unitarians, urged our new President to put a stop to U.S.-sponsored torture. Two days after his inauguration, President Obama did just that: he issued an executive order stopping the CIA's abuse of detainees, closing secret U.S. prisons, ending extraordinary rendition, and providing the International Red Cross with access to U.S.-held detainees. President Obama has also ordered the closing of the notorious U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, where hundreds of detainees have been held without access to family visits, legal counsel, or trial. And the President has appointed Eric Holder as Attorney General, who stated unequivocally at his confirmation hearings that "waterboarding is torture." What a refreshing change from his predecessor, Alberto Gonzales, who defended the heinous practice.
Given these bold steps to end American-sponsored torture, we took down our "Torture is wrong" banners this week. Finally, I am proud of my President and I am proud of my country. And I am proud of our Fellowship for displaying our values for all to see.

Artisanal alcohol is nothing new, but the Isfjord line of gin and vodka aims to differentiate itself by using iceberg water that's 180,000 years old. The alcohol is distilled by hand five times to increase its purity and potency even further.
The iceberg water used in the Isfjord line is from the Ilulissat Icefjord in Greenland. The etched snowflake on the bottles keeps the spirits' origin top of mind.

VIDEO: Would USMNT's Jozy Altidore eat cat food for rest of his life to win 2014 World Cup? | SIDELINE
How badly does US national team forward Jozy Altidore want to win the 2014 World Cup next month in Brazil?
If some of the answers he gave during a recent "Tough Calls" interview with the Grantland network are to be believed, Altidore wants to win the World Cup pretty badly.
Badly enough to eat cat food for every meal for the rest of his life? "Come on, man, that's a no-brainer. I'm eating cat food. All day long, let's do it."
Badly enough to shave 10 years off the rest of his life? The answer to that one might surprise you more than a little bit.
"Tough Calls" is essentially Grantland's 2014 sports media version of "Would You Rather?" and believe us, some of these questions are so ridiculous that you can't help but laugh and admire Altidore's honesty.

VIDEO: A dock that won't float and disappearing boat ramp signs have Marco area boaters scratching their heads
Between a floating dock that doesn't quite float properly at the Caxambas Boat Ramp and disappearing project status signs at the Collier Boulevard Boat Ramp, things are slightly amiss for the southern Collier County boating community.
In mid-September, one side of the Caxambas dock was partially underwater and the other side was aimed up to the sky.
Now, the area remains blocked off with caution tape and orange cones warning boaters and on-shore fishermen to stay clear.
"The boat dock modifications were not constructed wrong, however there was a design engineering flaw that created the problem not accounting appropriately for high tides," said Clinton Perryman, project manager for Collier County's Coast Zone Management Department.
Collier County officials reported earlier in the summer that both the Caxambas boat dock and the 951 boat ramp were to be open in October, however neither of them have reopened yet.
The Caxambas boat dock was part of an expansion project, which cost about $160,000, to address the demands from larger vessels wanting to access the fueling facility and also to provide safety measures and enhancements to the public for fishing from the piers, said Perryman.
The City of Marco Island also requested to have an emergency fire and police rescue vessel boat dock with a boat lift, he added.
The Caxambas boat ramp expansion, which began in May, will be repaired and re-opened by Nov. 16, contractors with Williams Brothers estimated.
Collier County Spokeswoman Camden Smith said the design consultant is covering the costs to repair the error. She added that it is being re-engineered.
The scheduled completion date for the 951 boat ramp remains murky after talking to Collier County officials. That project cost about $1.4 million and will quadruple the number of boat trailer parking spaces from 19 to 88.
The parking lanes will be 43 feet long with space to allow parking for a trailer carrying a 25-foot boat because studies revealed the average boat launched from the ramp was 23 feet, Perryman said.
He also reported that there will be three parallel, rather than diagonal spaces for larger boats.
The project is to fill a large demand for boat parking that was demonstrated each holiday and weekend as boat owners parked along the side of the busy road, having to cross the street without a crosswalk.
When the project is complete, Parks and Recreation Department rangers will ticket those parked along the roadway, Perryman has said.
The Eagle reported in August that the Collier Boulevard boat ramp parking expansion project was expected to be complete by Oct. 12.
Lit construction signs once updated those driving by of the project's status. Then the sign changed to read that the boat ramp would re-open when complete. No other dates or details were on the sign.
Charter fishing captain Lisa Oliver, owner of Aquatic Excursions in Naples, said the lack of public boat ramps is a hindrance.
"I drove by (the 951 boat ramp) and had my boat with me this weekend. I see the sign 'It will be open when we're finished' or something like that. I was like 'well, that's nice,'" Oliver recalled of a trip to the Marco and Ten Thousand Islands area.
She often steers clear of using the Caxambas boat ramp because it closes at 6 p.m. and if you have boat troubles, your vehicle and trailer will get locked in at night.
"Then what? You take a taxi all the way back to Naples and get it in the morning. That's what happened to my brother (Matt Oliver)," she said.
Capt. Lisa Oliver is eager for the 5.2 acre Goodland Boat Park to open, which is slated for March 2010. She hopes the county will choose not to put locked gates on that boat ramp.
The Goodland Boat Park Project is estimated to cost $1.7 million and will include 75 boat trailer parking spaces, two boat ramps, and nearly 55 slips of varying sizes, including slips for law enforcement.
The construction contract was awarded to BCBE Construction Co., Inc. of Naples. Johnson Engineering of Naples was the design consultant for the construction which began in late spring.
Collier County has not yet released the hours of operation for the Goodland boat park.
As for the vague 951 boat ramp construction sign, it was gone Tuesday, but the 951 ramp isn't open yet.
Smith said the signswere borrowed from the transportation department.
"The message board signs along 951 were removed from the site due to demands in connection with the H1N1 vaccination clinic traffic control, so now we're attempting to locate other signs."
While the Parks and Recreation Department seeks a new sign, the boating public is left to wonder when the public ramp will reopen.
"We've never provided an exact 951 completion date."

Multigenerational living being embraced in Southwest Florida
The number of multigenerational households has increased by 60 percent since 1990, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
This dramatic change in the American lifestyle is primarily due to two trends. First, baby boomers are living longer and are faced with deteriorating pensions, a failing Social Security system, and ever-increasing health care costs. Secondly, college debt and the amplified cost of living means that many children move back home after college, and stay for several years.
To satisfy this evolution in the American household, a national builder has created Next Gen — A Home Within a Home by Lennar. This home design includes a separate suite with its own entrance, eat-in kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom, laundry room and living room. This revolutionary concept is ever present in Lennar Southwest Florida.
Buyers want the most for their money and are strategizing for the long-term. What make this home design perfect for multigenerational living are the separate entrance as well as kitchen and bathroom, however everyone is under the same roof, yet there is privacy.
Aging parents and children returning home after college are the obvious reasons for purchasing a Next Gen — A Home Within a Home, but they are certainly not the only reason.
There are two floor plans: the Liberation and Independence. Each floor plan features separate living quarters for that elderly adult, active adult or children. Our plans feature five or six, 3.5- and four-bath homes ranging from 3,357 to 3,867 square feet.
Next Gen — A Home Within a Home are being built in the following communities: Ave Maria, Copper Cove, Olympia Pointe, The Forum, The Preserve at Corkscrew, Bridgewater at Lakewood Ranch, The Sanctuary at River Strand, Gran Paradiso and Stoneybrook at Venice.
To view a furnished model of Lennar's Next Gen Liberation model, visit The Preserve at Corkscrew in Estero at 13519 Villa Di Preserve Lane.

Travel like a local: Your Neighbourhood Guide to the Cape Town CBD by Day
Rob PetersThe CBD is the heartbeat of every major city and it is no different for Cape Town. The city centre is the pulse of the Mother City, providing the lifeblood of the surrounding areas. It is a melting pot of diversity and culture, a smorgasbord of historical influences and a place like no other on earth. If you really want to get underneath the skin of Cape Town, you need to start in the city.
Travel like a local: Your neighbourhood guide to DurbanvilleDurbanville is not your average Cape Town neighbourhood. There is so much more going on than the daily school run. This is a neighbourhood filled with great experiences for everyone to enjoy.
Take Advantage of Winter in Cape Town
Jenny MorrisI'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth and I love to get a quality deal at a good price. My working season is all year round, but it does slow down ever so slightly in winter and that is when I get to take advantage of all the specials on offer.

Rob PetersWith a wealth of natural beauty, unrivalled mountain trails and sublime backdrops, it's not hard to understand why Mother City locals spend the majority of their time outdoors and on the go.

I'm not a Capetonian by birth, but by breed. I've lived in this beautiful city since October 2010 and am still in awe of her beauty every day.

These HDR picture were taken over a year ago when I first bought my Nikon camera. I took the picture in RAW and remember being disappointed that the picture was dark. I had expected to see a beautiful looking photo with the new expensive camera and lens I had bought. I didn't realise at the time that the RAW image wouldn't display properly on my monitor and that I needed to process it to a jpeg, tiff or other format to see the result.
After reading the camera manual I decided to switch to JPEG images and have the camera convert these to 8-bit jpegs as I took the photo rather than gathering the RAW data and converting to a jpeg myself later on the PC.
The RAW files took up about 10MB per photo whereas the JPEGS were coming out at about 3-4MB, so it seemed a good idea.
Now I am looking into HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography I realise that the HDR photo could also be used to make an HDR image. It is normally better to take 3 or more photos of the same scene with different light variations, but a single RAW image can also be used. After merging the RAW photo to make an HDR image and tone mapping, the definition and color in the photo pops out nicely.
It is nice to see some images that I thought were dead come back to life in this format.
What images of Japan do you most like to see?

Tornado clobbers plans for clabber game | PHOTOS
Frequent sightings of funnel clouds reported as storm line moves through
WADESVILLE, Ind. - Vicki Simpson, 61, said she had spent 10 days cleaning her home on Springfield Road south of Wadesville in anticipation of a Friday evening clabber game with family and friends.
But now, thanks to what is expected to be confirmed as a tornado that struck Posey County early Friday afternoon, she no longer has a home to host the event.
Simpson said she's simply overwhelmed.
"I'm fine, physically," she said. "It's just so many people were coming to offer help, and you're standing there going, 'I don't even know what I need.' I can't get my mind wrapped around stuff."
Dave Purdy, Paducah, Ky National Weather Service meteorological technician, said Friday evening the Wadesville storm has not yet been confirmed a tornado. Weather Service personnel are expected to visit the Wadesville area today to review the damage.
However, the weather service had reports of a tornado in Posey County reported by trained spotters. Purdy said, a two-story home two miles south of Wadesville lost its roof at 12:46 p.m., and tennis ball sized hail was reported just north of Wadesville at 12:46 p.m.
"Looks like it just went through there and did lots of damage and moved on," Purdy said.
Tornado warnings were triggered across the region early Friday afternoon as a cold front swept in to unseasonably warm temperatures in the mid- to high-70s.
Many area schools dismissed classes early because of the storm warnings.
As the strong winds, accompanied by hail and rain, moved across the area, funnel clouds were spotted in Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana.
The Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Office confirmed the sighting of a funnel cloud between Baseline and Boonville New Harmony roads.
Occasional touchdowns damaged buildings, uprooted trees and downed power lines.
Warrick County Sheriff's Department reported a stretch of U.S. 61 in Boonville closed for about six hours due to fallen power lines. At around 3 p.m., Vectren reported 4,864 customers without power across Gibson, Posey, Vanderburgh and Warrick counties.Hardest hit were the communities of Marysville and Henryville in southcentral Indiana north of Louisville. At least three people were reported killed there.
At least five people were reported killed as the storms roared across Kentucky, and by Friday evening, Gov. Steve Beshear had declared a statewide emergency.
As the storm hit her Wadesville home, Simpson was alone. Her husband, Byron, got caught in a heavy hailstorm at Poseyville. She watched the storm on her front porch as it crossed Poseyville and only had 15 minutes to prepare before it hit her house.
"The sky was mingled with turquoise and gray and green, and I knew that was a tornado," Simpson said. "And then I saw something white and aluminum up in the air spinning. At first I thought it was debris and then I thought, 'Oh no, that's just a bird caught in the strong wind' and I kept looking at it and thought — tornado."
Immediately, the sound outside changed as "white rain" came pouring out of the sky, Simpson explained. She went down into her basement and got in a fetal position on the floor just as the tornado hit her home.
"I could hear the debris and everything blowing, and creaking and pounding and I knew the house was being demolished," Simpson said. "I was just kind of waiting for there to be a thud or something to jerk the floor out from over me. But that never happened."
Simpson has been interested in tornadoes her entire life and wanted to take everything in, but said it's impossible to describe it well.
"The tornado sound was different in that it seemed like you were in a tunnel and all these people were banging on full drums," she said. "And that was the noise, just a constant roar, and then it was over."
Simpson said it lasted only about 20 seconds and then it was quiet.
"Just dead silence, surely eerie, it was as if it sucked all the sound with it," she explained. "Everything around it ... absolute stillness."
The family's two dogs, Echo and Bella, took shelter in the garage and survived, despite it being one of the worst damaged parts of the house.
Simpson said her husband was just in shock when he saw their destroyed home. "Up here we have bad spring storms, and we loose limbs and trees," Simpson said. "But nothing, I don't think nothing could have prepared him for what he saw at the top of the hill."
Danny Risinger, 58, said he was fortunate for the light damage on his home — a couple broken windows, power outage and multiple trees uprooted from his yard. Risinger lives just down Springfield Road from the Simpson's.
"By the time I got from the front door to my kitchen, trees were passing the window and by the time I got to the basement it was over," Risinger said. "But I think because we had the line of trees it probably saved us from really getting some major structural damage."
Ginny Jung, Simpson's immediate neighbor, was goofing around on her computer in her basement, waiting for a load of laundry, when the storm hit. Jung heard a "real big pow," what she later realized was the roof of her garage hitting the side of her house, and shattered glass swirling around upstairs.
"I'm very thankful — there's a lot of junk to clean up that needed to be cleaned up anyway," Jung said. "But I'm very blessed I was not hurt, my neighbors were not hurt. Yeah we've got stuff to repair and get cleaned up, but it's stuff. And it's replaceable."

KDL Recommends
< Liar, Liar: The Theory, Practice and Destructive Properties of Deception | Big Nate: In a Class by Himself >
Big Nate: From the Top
Title: Big Nate: From the Top
Author: Lincoln Peirce
KDL Description:
Self-proclaimed genius Nate Wright blazes a haphazard trail through sixth grade at P.S. 38, where between endless misadventures, he earns straight A's and numerous detentions.
Amazon Description: Big Nate, a.k.a. middle schooler Nate Wright, is eleven years old, four-and-a-half feet tall, and the wunderkind creation of cartoonist Lincoln Peirce. Nate is also the star of six novelized books to be published by HarperCollins, the first of which debuted on the New York Times children's best-seller list. This Big Nate Collection collects Peirce's Big Nate strips, originally published only in newspapers.
For those not familiar with Big Nate, think Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Calvin and Hobbes. Nate is a self-described genius and a sixth-grade Renaissance man equipped with only a #2 pencil and the unshakable belief that he is destined for greatness (a fortune cookie told him so). He fights a daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. He's the original rebel without a clue, alternately abrasive and endearing to classmates and teachers alike. Throughout Peirce's Big Nate Collection, Nate blazes an unforgettable trail through the sixth grade at P.S. 38, earning straight As in laughs (and numerous detentions) along the way.

Welcome to the Jungle
How Vietnam taught Chuck Hagel to hate war.
- By Charlyne BerensCharlyne Berens is professor and associate dean at the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She is the author of Chuck Hagel: Moving Forward, from which parts of this article were drawn.
Having been there makes a difference.
Crawling on your stomach in the pitch dark while you hear the clink, clink of a column of Viet Cong troops winding its way through the jungle only a few feet away. Fighting house to house, doorway to doorway in Saigon during the Tet offensive. Being wounded twice and promoted twice and decorated seven times.
Chuck Hagel was there — in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968, during some of the most intense fighting of the war. Now he is President Barack Obama's nominee to be America's next secretary of defense, and if he is confirmed, Hagel would be the first former enlisted man ever to lead the Defense Department. It's a safe bet that what he experienced in the jungles of Vietnam would make a difference in the way Hagel would approach his job at the Pentagon.
"War is not an abstraction," Hagel wrote in a piece for the Omaha World-Herald in 2004. "I know. I've been to war."
When he was in the Senate, Hagel tried to help his colleagues understand war through the lens of the people who would actually be doing the fighting and dying. "We see war up here in very antiseptic terms," he said. "We see it in bright policy terms. In human suffering terms? No." The terms are different, of course, for someone who has been there.
Years before he arrived in Vietnam at age 21, Hagel had already been interested in international relations. His friends teased him when he started subscribing to Time magazine in junior high.
But his experience in Vietnam intensified and shaped the adult Hagel's internationalist worldview. "Integration of the United States in the world is key," he said when I interviewed him in 2004. War may sometimes be an ugly necessity, but it is international relationships that maintain stability and security, he said.
The war Hagel confronted in Vietnam was ugly, indeed. Funny thing is, he wouldn't have had to go there.
After enlisting and going through basic training in Oklahoma, he was sent to Fort Ord, California, and later, the White Sands Missile Range. He was one of 10 Army privates chosen from training camps around the country to learn how to operate a heat-seeking, shoulder-fired missile, a brand-new and highly secret weapon the Army was pretty sure the Soviet Union didn't have.
After their three-month training period, the 10 elite recruits were to be sent to Europe and integrated into the NATO system. If necessary, they would use their weapons to bring down low-flying Soviet MiGs over Europe.
When the training ended, the soldiers went to Fort Dix, New Jersey, preparing for deployment to Germany. Compared to Vietnam, where most troops were headed those days, Germany was a luxury posting.
But as he lay on his bunk at Fort Dix, watching his buddies pack, Hagel had second thoughts. "I decided it was not the right thing to do," he said. "There was war going on. The right thing, if I was in the Army, was to go where the war was," to fight as his father had done in World War II.
The captain of his unit at Fort Dix couldn't dissuade him; the chaplain couldn't dissuade him. Eventually, they decided this guy who wanted to trade a cushy tour of duty in Germany for the misery of Vietnam wasn't a mental case, and he was reassigned to Vietnam.
Hagel said he will never forget Dec. 4, 1967, the day his troop transport landed at Ton Son Hut air base. "It was oppressive heat like I'd never known — and the humidity and stench.… I was physically sick to my stomach." And, like his comrades in arms, he was scared.
After a few weeks of jungle school, his unit was moved to the Mekong Delta, and Hagel was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 47th Infantry, Bravo Company. Most of the soldiers' orders were for search-and-destroy missions. Based on intelligence, the officers would know the Viet Cong were in certain areas, and the squad would be sent out to find the VC. And destroy them.
Sometimes Hagel and his squad patrolled bridges or roads. Sometimes they would do night outpost work. "They would be almost suicide missions," Hagel said. "If anything happened, the base would never hear from you again."
A group of three soldiers would be sent into the jungle to establish a listening post, trying to discover any major enemy troop movement and to alert the company if an attack was on the way. The outposts had to maintain radio silence, so they communicated with the base camp by simply pushing a button on the radio.
In the pitch dark, all the troops at the outpost could do was listen. Any detection the squad would do was by sound, not sight. "In the jungle at night," Hagel said, "you cannot see your hand in front of your face."
One of those night outpost assignments, Hagel said, became an encounter that frightened him more than anything before or since.
Following standard operating procedure, one of the three soldiers stood watch while the other two slept on their tarps. Early one morning when Hagel was standing watch, he heard a clang. At first, he thought it was a cow bell. Then he realized what he was hearing was no herd of cows but a large group of Viet Cong, moving equipment right in front him. He actually heard whispered conversation in Vietnamese.
"It was so close you could almost reach out and touch them," he said.
He woke his two squad members, covering their mouths with his hands so they wouldn't cry out.
"Grab your rifle; grab my boot and crawl," he whispered.
The three soldiers slithered out in a human chain, Hagel leading the way. "We knew the VC were coming right on top of us, getting closer and closer."
Hagel had the radio with him, and once the squad was well away from the Viet Cong, he called the base camp to report what had happened. They were ordered to stay outside the base camp that night, in case they were being followed.
When it was daylight, they went back to try to retrieve what they had left behind a few hours earlier. Everything was gone. "The VC had been there and had picked it all up," Hagel said. The story was still frightening when Hagel told it decades later. But that encounter didn't end in injury the way two others did.
By some quirk of Army bureaucracy, Hagel and his brother Tom served in the same squad for most of a year. They spent a month during the Tet offensive in ferocious house-to-house combat, and they survived without injuries. Horrific as it was, it wasn't as frightening as those listening patrols had been, Hagel said. "When you're in a firefight, all hell breaks loose. You're not scared. You're not thinking about anything except what you're doing."
However, danger came in many forms in Vietnam.
In March 1968, the brothers were walking an ambush patrol when the soldiers at the front of the column tripped a booby trap, and mines full of shrapnel, planted in trees, exploded all around the troops. That time Tom saved Chuck's life, wrapping cloths around Chuck's chest to stop extensive bleeding. The former senator still has some of that shrapnel in his chest.
A month later, after the brothers had recovered in an Army hospital, they were riding in a personnel carrier when a land mine exploded under the vehicle. Chuck thought Tom, the turret gunner, had been killed by the blast. He started pulling Tom and others from the carrier, trying to get everyone out before the ammunition in the carrier blew up. But he was still too close when the inevitable explosion came and set him on fire, burning his face severely. Tom survived, but, again, the Hagel boys were on their way to the hospital together.
Chuck Hagel remembers it well, lying in a medevac helicopter, waiting to be airlifted out of the jungle and listening to Linda Ronstadt singing on the radio: "You and I travel to the beat of a different drum." And Hagel remembers saying to himself, "If I ever get out, and if I ever can influence anything, I will do all I can to prevent war."
Almost 40 years later, the memory was still fresh. "Not that I'm a pacifist," he said. "I'm a hard-edged realist. I understand the world as it is. But war is a terrible thing. There's no glory, only suffering."
Some things are worth fighting and dying for, Hagel said, but going to war should be a last resort.
Hagel arrived in Vietnam as an E3 private first class and was promoted to an E4 specialist, technically a corporal. Then he was promoted to sergeant. He downplays his movement up in the ranks, saying the United States was losing so many troops in 1967 and '68 that soldiers often advanced quickly. But Gene Bacon, who served with Hagel, said it was more than just chance: "He was very articulate, very bright. He commanded real respect from the officers right away."
He earned two Purple Hearts, three Vietnamese Crosses of Gallantry, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. And he came home still convinced that, horrendous as the war had been, it was legitimate and justifiable. Decades later, though, Hagel began to investigate the background of the war in Vietnam. By late 2004 he had tried to read everything he could find about the history of Indochina, about the French involvement there before the Americans went in. He began to doubt his earlier faith in the American government's motivations behind the war.
When he listened to tapes of then-President Lyndon Johnson's phone calls discussing the war with Georgia Senator Richard Russell, the chair of the Armed Services Committee, Hagel cringed. He began to believe that the war had been waged less to defend the United States and the world from the spread of communism than for "an abstraction of policy" and to save face.
His own very personal experience with the horrors of war has created a frame of reference for his consideration of policy decisions. Leaders who served in war "may have even more of an obligation to think through these big geopolitical issues and, more importantly, ask the tough questions," Hagel told a newspaper in 2004. That was his philosophy when he was in the Senate, and it's likely to be his philosophy at the Department of Defense.
Having been there makes a difference.

Filmmakers of all kinds are exploring new digital tools for creating animated content. After Effects CS3: Animating Characters follows the creation of a short animated film, from storyboard through final output, using After Effects CS3. George Maestri uses a one-minute monster movie to showcase the new Puppet tool, along with many other techniques for animating characters in After Effects. He covers lip syncing, creating segmented characters with movable joints, and employing special effects. George demonstrates in detail how to create individual scenes and shots, and offers insight into how to pull the pieces together to form a cohesive production. Familiarity with After Effects is recommended. Exercise files accompany the course.
OK, so now I have got this little blink here and now I'm going to animate the arm coming up. So actually I save this out to a file. Just in case you're coming in in the middle here, let me show you where this file is. It's in that After Effects directory, it's called 00E. In fact, let me go ahead and open that, just so you can see we are on the same page. This file has just that blink in it, OK. Now I'm going to make his arm come up.
Let's just go ahead and animate that. There is a few other details that I have, but let's just go ahead and animate the arm. I believe in the actual animation he blinks again as the arm comes up, but we can add that in a little bit later. What I want to do is before he does that, before his arm rises up, I want him to anticipate it, so again just like with the blink where you have a little bit of motion to emphasize it, I want him to precede that motion of putting up the hand with a needle in it with what's called anticipation.
Now what anticipation is is that when your arm moves up, before your arm moves up, it moves back. OK? So just think like if you are going to throw a punch, you just don't push your hand out, you pull your hand back and then push it out to get some more momentum. Well the body is doing that all the time and it's a great little animation technique because what you can do is that when in fact he is anticipating right here, he actually moves up then moves down into the blink. And so what that little move up does is that oh hey he is moving, look at this something is happening and so we can do that again with the body.
So let's go ahead and start playing with the body. I'm going to go to my torso and I'm going to play with Rotation. I think I'm going to mostly play with Position here. So I'm going to Frame 24 and usually for an anticipation it's usually four to six frames, so I'm going to move out to Frame 28 and I'm just going to lower him a little bit. I'm going to play with his position and just lower him down and maybe just rotate him for maybe just like a degree. Now the one thing is that when we are rotating such a big mass, you are going to see that it really rotates a lot.
So I'm going to be very careful with that. In fact, I'm not going to rotate him. And then so it basically comes down. Then I want it to come up and settle, so I have got what? 1, 2, 3, 4... 1, 2, 3, 4. About 4 frames and I want to bring him back up again. In fact the easiest way to do that is to copy and paste again, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, this first frame. So when I brings that there, basically he does this but I want him to come up over that point. So essentially what I'm going to do is just bring him up a little bit more and then I am going to settle him back down into that original pose.
So essentially what I have got here is, I have got the torso going up, over and back down again. So see how it comes like that. So basically, he's going to lean forward, push up and then come back down. Now I can play with the timing a little bit on this, I may actually want to give it a little bit more because his arm also has to come up, so now he is going- whoa. OK, perfect. So as he does this, I want him to bend over so let's go over and play with the upper torso.
Now I'm just roughing this out. This isn't going to be exactly the same as it is in that little animated film that I showed you, so I will just kind of give you a little bit of a rough guide to this. So what I'm going to play with here is I'm going to play with- again, I like clicking keys for Position and Rotation because I may actually move it, but I am thinking in this case I'm just going to be rotating that upper body and let's see what happens. So when he comes down and I'm kind of actually kind of rotate him for just a little bit like about, about maybe three or 4 degrees, not a whole lot.
Again some of this is very subtle. See how he kind of bends down? I think I could actually rotate him forward even little bit more. Again it just depends on how, you know, how subtle or how broad you want to be with this. So now see how he kind of moves down? And then in fact what I'm going to do here is I'm actually going to make him move down maybe about 4 or 5 degrees and then as he pushes up, I am going to bend him a little bit more because what happens is as his body comes up, it's actually this is going to resist and we actually have this thing in animation called Drag.
And so what this does is when I lean him forward a little bit more, it's going to appear so this lower body is pushing the mass of the body up and the upper body is resisting a little bit. So it basically goes down, up and then he settles, he straightens back up to zero. In fact I can just type that in because I know that's my default position and so now I have got- alright. Alright that, OK, that looks pretty good. So now we have to play with the arms and we want to get those arms moving up.
So, basically what happens is as he moves down, Frame 28 is where he is at his lowest point, then he starts moving up. So notice how he kind of comes back this way, so I really want to time this with the upper torso. So let me look at these keyframes here. He is going to start moving up right here at Frame 32. And so what happens is that Frame 32, I want that arm to start moving out. In fact here I must want him to be kind of almost leaning back a little bit. Yeah that's even better.
So I'm actually going to move him at this very last frame, we will actually move him -10 degrees. So now he goes. You can even almost see how that arm is going to move. You can see how that torso is pushing that arm out. So let's go ahead and play with our arms. The arm that's actually on right now is Frank Arm 1 and so here I kind of want that arm to start moving forward. So I'm going to set a key for Rotation and Position, but we are also going to be playing with Opacity here.
So I'm going to turn that on and actually let's go ahead and set a key at 24 for Position/Rotation. In fact I'm just going to go ahead and copy and paste these keys. So now I have kind of a lockdown key and now I'm actually going to rotate this arm back just a little bit as he comes down. And now I want that arm to kind of shoot forward just a little bit, maybe a few degrees, and what we have to do here is we have to start going to these other arms that we created.
So we are going to do a very quick in between here, so again I want to set an Opacity key. Make sure that that's set at 32. And we are going to go from Arm 1 to Arm 1A. Again I'm going to set Opacity key, but also I want to set a Position and Rotation because I may move this. And then I'm going to go to Frame 33 and I'm going to turn this arm on and maybe rotate that back just a little bit. So again, now I'm going to turn off at Frame 33. I'm going to go and I'm going to animate opacity to zero for Arm 1, so essentially what it's going to do- there is a little bit of a pop there, see that? So I want to get a smooth rotation from one to the other, I want to make sure that this animation is smooth. That's actually better.
So then he comes forward and now I want to turn on Arm 2, so essentially what I'm doing is I'm going through Arm 1, 1A, 2A, 2. So at this point, I'm going to set a key here for the last position of arm 1 and we are going to start arm 2 here, so essentially at Frame 34, if I'm going to turn Arm 2 and turn off Arm 1, well what I'm going to do here now here is a little trick, is before I do that I actually want this arm to be as close as possible to that other arm, so that way when it actually does animate off you are actually almost in the same position, see how that works? So now his arm is coming out and let's give this another two frames here. So I'm going to go ahead and set another key for Opacity on 2A and rotate it forward a little bit.
But I need to actually match that again to Arm 2. So here I'm going to set ahead and set a key for Opacity at Frame 37 and at Frame 38 I'm going to turn on Arm 2. And then here what I'm going to do is rotate Arm 2A, which is the one before that, so that it kind of matches and then I'm going to turn the Opacity off. So now I know that this keyframe is pretty much going to match. So now there we go, that's pretty close.
OK, so that's my rough animation of that arm. Now we have to match the string and also put on a few more little finishing touches here, but you can kind of see how we are working this. So I'm going to go ahead and save this out and let's go ahead and pick this up and do some of the last final details.

The Global Volcanism Program has no activity reports for San Felix.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Weekly Reports available for San Felix.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Bulletin Reports available for San Felix.
San Félix Island, 800 km W of the Chilean coast, consists largely of a low, cliff-bounded lava platform separating two tuff cones. The Islota Gonzáles cone to the SW is separated from the main island by a shallow submerged platform. Cerro Amarillo at the western end forms the high point of the island and is the source of fresh-looking hawaiite lava flows that reached the sea and formed the low lava platform at the SW tip of the island. A ship captain reported a dull red glow at the summit in 1923. Willis and Washington (1924) considered the youthful lava flows to predate discovery of the island in the 16th century, but not be more than a few centuries old. However, Ar-Ar dating by Haase et al. (2000) determined that the adjacent plateau age was 421 +/- 18 ka, and considered the advanced erosion of the island as indicative of several hundred thousands of years of inactivity.
The Global Volcanism Program is not aware of any Holocene eruptions from San Felix. If this volcano has had large eruptions (VEI >= 4) prior to 10,000 years ago, information might be found on the San Felix page in the LaMEVE (Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions) database, a part of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).

Advice & Support
Once you have an artificial valve, your heart function and your life
should improve. You should feel better than before you had the surgery if your
condition was symptomatic; you should no longer experience shortness of breath
and fatigue, for example. However, it is important to keep in mind that an
artificial valve will not work as well as an undamaged natural valve, so that
even though your heart function is improved it may not recover to completely
normal levels. If your heart was already severely affected before your surgery,
you may continue to experience complications of heart disease.
You should be able to resume most of your normal activities, although
you will have to continue to monitor your condition. You need to watch out for
blood clots and infections.
Artificial valves may need to be replaced after a period of time, so
it is important that you see your doctor regularly.
