What's your idea of a dream vacation?
Sunshine and spectacular scenery probably play a part. Only the most delicious food will be on the menu, with an elegant and perfectly matched wine, of course.
Golf or tennis, casino thrills, the Great Outdoors, or a foray into the big city all beguile vacationers' dreams of the perfect getaway. Chances are, you will find the package that checks off the must-have boxes on your vacation list—and help assure aviation's future—by bidding on one of the many vacation travel offerings in the AOPA Foundation's A Night for Flight charity auction through Sept. 22.
There's even an opportunity to walk through history at the mountain ranch of a U.S. president.
Whether you are looking for a vacation package, once-in-a-lifetime aviation thrill, pilot gadgets, flight training, or other aviation-related memorabilia or experiences, check out the AOPA Foundation's A Night for Flight online auction. More than 100 items are open for bidding. And don't wait: The auction closes Sept. 22. Proceeds will go to the AOPA Foundation in order to keep pilots safe and safeguard the future of general aviation.
It's been a rainy summer in the northeast, complete with a hurricane and two tropical storms coming through. One answer, if your summer was soggy, is to wring out your spirits with three nights for two at Tucson, Ariz.'s Canyon Ranch. The stays include gracious accommodations, three nutritious gourmet meals daily, use of a fully equipped spa complex, indoor and outdoor pools, and tennis and sports courts. There are a selection of more than 50 complimentary fitness activities each day, a wide variety of guided hikes and biking excursions, a daily selection of lectures and cooking demonstrations, and a personal program advisor to custom-design the stay, and a health and fitness assessment.
If the sea is a must-see for the view from your hotel window, Villa La Estancia in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, offers five-star luxury at its hotel-condo complex on the warm sands of Medano Beach within walking distance of the upscale marina district, restaurants, and shopping of downtown Cabo San Lucas. You'll stay in a two-bedroom, three-bath villa with stunning views of Lands End and the Sea of Cortez. DVDs and even a telephone with unlimited calling to and from the USA (with a USA phone number) are an added amenity.
The National Parks are always a hot vacation ticket—so of course you will find offerings in the auction such as two nights lodging for two in a two-room suite with fireplace and spa tub at the historic Groveland Hotel at Yosemite National Park. That includes dinner in the acclaimed Cellar Door Restaurant. Your dinner will include a bottle of 1997 Caymus Select Cabernet Sauvignon. You'll receive a special spa package of potions, lotions, and other goodies, and a round of golf for two at the Pine Mountain Lake Country Club.
Any vacation should be remembered as a unique experience, so what could top a private tour for up to four people of the beloved haven of an American president?
Wend your way up seven miles of rustic road in the Santa Ynez Mountains just north of Santa Barbara, Calif., cross several cattle guards, and find yourself at Rancho del Cielo—a "Ranch in the Sky" set on 688 acres of rolling, tree-covered hills. The ranch was President Ronald Reagan's home for nearly 25 years and served as the "Western White House" during eight of those. It embodies Reagan's character and ideals. Reagan said of his beloved sanctuary, "No place before or since has ever given Nancy and me the joy and serenity it does."
The winning bidder is entitled to an exclusive private tour of the Reagan Ranch, which is not open to the public, including a visit to the tack barn which still houses Reagan's saddle collection. Take in many of the scenic sites on the ranch including the helipad where Marine One operated—still the site of the San Marcus VOR. The package includes a tour of the Reagan Ranch Center in downtown Santa Barbara, and transportation to and from the ranch property. The ranch tour is for up to four people and includes a picnic lunch on the ranch itself.
From California to the Caribbean, and from two nights in wine country to a spa trip to the desert, the A Night for Flight Auction has something to appeal to any aviator. All of the proceeds from the auction and gala support the AOPA Foundation's four-fold mission—to protect America's airports, expand the pilot population, improve air safety, and enhance the image of general aviation.

Ground Chicken Picadillo is a quick and healthy dinner that everyone loves! Make a double batch and freeze half for next week.
Picadillo is one of those dishes that has a lot of variations. I've had Mexican, Puerto Rican and of course, Cuban versions. Some people make it with potatoes, some with lots of raisins and some even add carrots.
The most common meat used is ground beef and then after that, chorizo. Both are really tasty but since it's January and we are all thinking about how we can slash calories but not slash flavor, I wanted to try a Ground Chicken version.
I used my Beef Picadillo recipe as the base, bumped up the seasonings just slightly and subbed ground chicken thigh meat.
The end result is fantastic, so flavorful and a bit less fatty and oily. My older son loved this so much, he happily declared, "I could eat this every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner and be happy!"
If that isn't high praise, what is?!

A fire at the famous Woolshed Pub in Melbourne's Docklands has closed the business indefinitely, as operators assess the severely damaged building.
On Friday afternoon around 3pm smoke was spotted coming from the roof of the hotel. Emergency services were called, and arrived to find the waterfront structure well ablaze.
It took two hours to bring the fire under control, with 16 trucks attending. During the efforts, asbestos was discovered in the roof, adding the complication of contamination to the surrounding area.
Nearly 60 firefighters with breathing equipment fought the blaze from inside the building and a teleboom hosed the fire and asbestos from above.
A spokesperson from MFB (Melbourne Fire Brigade) said the asbestos would pose no danger to the public.
Witnesses reported huge plumes of smoke, and what appeared to be serious damage to the building from both the fire and water.
The proprietors issued a solemn update on Facebook the same afternoon.
"You may have heard there has been a disruption at Central Pier with a fire at The Woolshed Pub this afternoon.
"All of our patrons and staff are safe. Thank you for all your well wishes – we are very grateful."
PubTIC was told today an initial inspection had not revealed good news, but the Pub's immediate future is yet to be determined.

I disagree with the idea that to succeed in life, you should have only an attractive appearance. While there is no doubt that it is an important feature for people, it is also undeniable that by having a good sense of humor, and a sharp mind,you can make it easily.
On the one hand, if you have a good sense of humor it is advantageous because you make a positive impression on other people and everybody talks and thinks highly of you.In this way you are very likeable to others, so they can not probably see your weak points.For example, there are many artists who had an important career and they are famous in the world, like Mr Been without being good-looking.
On the other hand, having a sharp mind, has a lot to offer to everyone who wants to achieve something.Cleverness provides people with the opportunity to do everything they want. For example applicants with a sharp mind have more chances to take a job in an interview compared to others who don't. They have better ideas and they negotiate the situation with more confidence.
From my point of view, the good sense of humor and a sharp mind are the best qualifications young people should have to achieve their targets, and to have a brilliant future.

The Leaders of Tomorrow 2 0 1 1 A n n ua l R e p o rt P h i K a p p a Ta u F o u n d a t i o n
I see the positive difference "our leadership programs are making for today's Phi Taus. By contributing to the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation I'm assured these unique opportunities will continue. —Warren Mattox, Nebraska Wesleyan '69
Support the Leaders of Tomorrow True leadership is needed at every level of today's society, from the Little League baseball field to the halls of Congress. Phi Kappa Tau has a responsibility to ensure that the leaders of tomorrow are prepared with the life skills needed to tackle the challenges of tomorrow—big and small.
ast month I attended Phi Kappa Tau's second annual national community service event at Flying Horse Farms, just outside of Columbus, Ohio. During my time on site, I had the chance to speak with an alumnus who recently retired from a manufacturing job. He asked me, "What is our product?" The question was a basic and simple one, but I had trouble giving a definite answer. Since that time, I have been thinking about his question, and I believe I have the answer for our brother. In a manufacturing system, the first step is finding your suppliers. Phi Kappa Tau's suppliers are volunteers, donors and engaged alumni. They supply us with the dollars and human resources to be successful in the first step of this process. And we're lucky because our suppliers are dedicated supporters of our Fraternity's mission. Once we input our supplies of dollars and volunteers, the Phi Kappa Tau "machine" gets to work. Leadership Academy, Regional Conferences, Presidents Academy, scholarship programs and many other areas of operations begin to function. All of these programs, scholarships, grants, and initiatives are only possible because of the volunteers who execute them and the donors who fund them. So what is Phi Kappa Tau producing? The leaders of tomorrow. As the chairman of the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation, I am pleased to present to you this year's annual report: The Leaders of Tomorrow. Throughout this publication you will see lists of our "suppliers," and you will learn more about the programs, scholarships, grants, and support that Phi Kappa Tau is able to offer because of our dedicated volunteers and donors. During the National Community Service Event, I met the leaders of tomorrow. They came from all parts of the country, wore different types of clothing, and had different personalities and backgrounds. They shoveled dirt, poured concrete and landscaped, but one thing united them … their mark of distinction as members of this great Fraternity and their loyalty to Phi, Kappa, and Tau. On behalf of the Foundation Board of Trustees and Foundation staff, we thank all brothers, parents, and Phriends who continue to support the mission and vision of Phi Kappa Tau. You truly are supporting the leaders of tomorrow! Best fraternal regards, David A. Ruckman, Ohio State '62 Chairman, Phi Kappa Tau Foundation
A select group of undergraduate men have made their choice to associate with the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity. These young brothers made this choice for many of the same reasons you did— friendship, scholarship and leadership. We need leaders that are true men of character, and Phi Kappa Tau is prepared to provide our young brothers with the training and experiences that only the best Fraternity can offer. For this to happen, these young men need you to make another choice for Phi Kappa Tau—to help the Foundation prepare the leaders of tomorrow.

2011 annual report
Ewing T. Boles, Centre '14, envisioned Phi Kappa Tau's future as a strong, vibrant fraternity that offered the very best in leadership opportunities for young men. He established the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation in 1945 and created a vehicle for alumni to make charitable gifts to ensure that support for programming would always be available. In 1983, Boles was named an honorary founding father of the Fraternity, and that same year, he helped pioneer Phi Kappa Tau's $3-million campaign with his personal donation of $1 million. His gift was the single, largest gift to a fraternity at that time. Because of his generosity, he was awarded the North-American Interfraternity Conference Gold Medal of Distinction. The Phi Kappa Tau Executive Offices Building in Oxford, Ohio, is named in his honor. Membership in the Boles Society is awarded to donors who contribute $1,000 or more annually.

Men of Chara The Phi Kappa Tau Foundation supports the Fraternity's Men of Character Programs with general and specific gifts that donors allocate for certain programs. These program sponsorships are given by members and phriends who understand the importance of leadership development. A sponsorship to one of Phi Kappa Tau's Men of Character Programs allows the leaders of tomorrow to attend these programs at minimal cost to themselves or their chapter.
2011 Hole in the Wall Stipend Recipients Phi Kappa Tau brothers travel to Hole in the Wall Camps, now SeriousFun camps, throughout the country and overseas to serve as positive male role models. Hundreds of men volunteer as cabin counselors, activity specialists, unit leaders, and other camp staff during a week or summer as a camp counselor. The Phi Kappa Tau Foundation provides up to $300 in travel stipends to any undergraduate who volunteers at a camp.
I spent an entire summer at the closest place to heaven on earth—Camp Boggy Creek. The opportunity to work at Boggy taught me countless life lessons that have forever changed my life. I will continue to be my brother's keeper, to live the dream, and to leave everything I have in everything I do because to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift. —Evan Ernst, Florida State '09

All camps will retain their names and logos (including the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Ashford, Conn.), but they will now be known as part of SeriousFun Children's Network. "SeriousFun Children's Network is making a global impact," the organization said. "The new name—and logo—more broadly represents the network's reach and the significant growth it has experienced over the past two decades." The name change will not affect Phi Kappa Tau's relationship with the organization. We hope that undergraduates and alumni alike will be reinvigorated by the new name and brand and will be inspired to volunteer and work with the camps in a greater capacity than ever before.

"Presidents Academy was a crash course in leadership and organizational development. It was an incredible opportunity to brain storm and problem solve with presidents from more than 50 chapters, as well as members of the national office. This experience provided me with a newly restored enthusiasm for Phi Tau, which enables me to lead my chapter with proper dedication and charisma." —Adam Monson, Chapman '09

How to Include Phi Kappa Tau in Your Estate Plans Phi Tau brothers from all walks of life, with estates ranging from modest to complex, have shared a common bond through the years: their abiding interest in assuring the lasting fiscal strength of their Fraternity. Through their determination to act on that interest, they establish a legacy of support, most commonly by including a charitable bequest in their will or other estate planning document. A bequest to Phi Kappa Tau may be made through a will or living trust in the form of cash, securities, real estate, or other property. You should specify that the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation is to receive a certain amount or percentage of your estate or particular assets, or the remainder of your estate after providing for heirs. Please contact us if we can assist you and your attorney or financial advisor in establishing a bequest for the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation. To learn more, visit www.phikappatau.org/plannedgiving

"As temporary stewards of this great Fraternity, we have an obligation to leave a Phi Kappa Tau even stronger and better than the one we inherited. Each gift in honor or memory of a brother who mentored me—men like John Green or the late Rick Hamilton—is a humbling reminder of all they did to enrich my life. While I can never repay that debt, I hope my own contributions might have a similarly impactful result on current and future brothers." —Michael Dovilla, Baldwin-Wallace '94

Is Sticky Fingers the Stones' best album? What do you think? There's a lot of competition, Let It Bleed, Exile on Main Street, Beggars Banquet...... Sticky Fingers is up there, though.
Sticky Fingers was one of the first albums recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, in Sheffield, Alabama, having been founded by the Swampers just a couple years earlier. Over the course of the 1970s a lot of great music was recorded there, from Paul Simon and Rod Stewart to Bob Dylan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and beyond. Cher's album 3614 Jackson Highway takes its title from the studio's address. In 2009 Akron's the Black Keys came down to Muscle Shoals to cut Brothers, which ended up winning a Grammy.
As it happens, only three songs off of Sticky Fingers were recorded at Muscle Shoals, but two of them were the album's only two singles and are without question the most immortal tracks off the album: "Wild Horses" and "Brown Sugar." (The third song recorded at Muscle Shoals was "You Gotta Move.")

Here's the receipt that Muscle Shoals remitted to the Stones, or more precisely ABKCO, being the company founded by one Allen B. Klein, the shark tasked with managing both the Beatles and the Stones for a time. The Sticky Fingers sessions ran from December 2 to 4, 1969, with the rest of the album being recorded during much of 1970. This session was one of the last times Klein would be their manager, as the Stones would jettison him (as much as was possible) as soon as they could. As you can see, the receipt helpfully says "The Rolling Stones / Wild Horses" right on it.
So that's that: In 1969 recorded two of rock music's greatest songs and paid a cool grand for the privilege. That amount of money translates into about $6,500 today.
Here are some wonderful pics of the Stones (found here) recording parts of Sticky Fingers at Muscle Shoals:

SpongeBob SquarePants (1999)
1 plot hole in season 2
Starring: Bill Fagerbakke, Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, Tom Kenny

Plot hole: As Spongebob is trying to let the Jellyfish out of their enclosure after discovering what Mr Krabs is doing to them, Krabs says, "That door will only open if I say...open." Then he suddenly realises what he's said and the door opens. How come the door didn't open when in his sentence he first said open? The door didn't activate itself until he said open the second time.

Its quite possible that Rovio's epic adventure using birds to smash down towers made by fat little piggies may be making its way onto consoles, but this time not as a port. Apparently, at the Activision booth during E3 there was a teaser reel in a loop that shows one of the flightless birds hiding in plain sight. Some people speculated what that might mean and Activision has gone on record to confirm that studio will be launching on the Xbox Live and Sony Entertainment Network with a made-for-consoles HD version.
A spokesperson for Activision further said; "We'll have some news for you in about two weeks, wait until you see Angry Birds on consoles in HD."
Note that while the game is currently on SEN and XBL, this new version might take the birds to a whole new level using features like Kinect or Sony's Sixaxis technology to make things more interesting. Currently the game is sold in various app markets for tablets, mobile phones, consoles and desktop computers, with the paid-for versions doing away with advertising banners on the top or side of the screen.
What this also might mean for Rovio is uncertain. Perhaps Activision is buying the studio and wants to keep the best-selling title under its wing? Who knows, but I'll report back on this when the official announcement is made.
Angry Birds currently sits as the most-downloaded title on more than one app store with the latest version, Space, passing the 100 million mark after just two weeks. Clearly, this is what we've all wanted since Worms died and left us without time-busting games to play.

Elvis IS Still Alive – Living Inside This 16 Year Old Boy. OMG!
While Elvis sightings have been numerous ever since he died, with many believing that he is still out there alive somewhere. Well apparently he popped up at a local radio station recently and they shot a video of him singing "Blue Christmas". Only thing, is that his name is David Thibault, and he's only 16-years-old! But close your eyes and listen, and you will swear that Elvis has returned! Absolutely incredible impersonation of The King! So impressive he made it onto the Ellen show!
Share this wonderful performance with all of your friends and family!

Troubleshooting VGN-FW series VAIO Power Issues
Follow the instructions from the Audio card guide to get the system apart. Once you have the system apart, you want to unscrew the DC power connector from the board. Once you get it loose, it won't be able to come all the way out due to the magnet on the cable. For this quick fix, you won't have to though. If you look closely at the side of the connector that the wires come out of, you can see that there is a central wire to the spoke and a wire on the top that goes to a little V shaped piece of metal that is stuck in the top of the connector.
The problem that seems to cause intermittent power issues is that this V relies on holding it's shape to provide counter-pressure to the plug. Over time, the metal weakens and no longer holds a solid connection against the jack. I was able to fix it by simply inserting a flat head screwdriver to expand the gap. I was then able to push some aluminum foil in to the gap to reinforce the metal and give it a little more counter-pressure against future issues. Be sure that the aluminum foil won't fall out and cause a short when you put it in and I recommend testing the connection with a multimeter prior to reassembly.
