Keep your family's computer mouse company with Dora and her friends. It takes just a few minutes, and you can find everything you need easily at craft stores and craft-supply websites!
Explore with Dora every day on Nick Jr.
Choose the appropriate iron-on image and the type of iron-on transfer paper based on the color of your mouse pad blank. For dark-colored mouse pad blank, print Dora Mouse Pad Iron-On Image (Non-Reversed) onto transfer paper for dark clothing. The image is ironed onto the fabric faceup. For light-colored one, print Dora Mouse Pad Iron-On Image (Reversed) onto transfer paper for light clothing. The image is ironed facedown onto the fabric.
Place the iron-on transfer paper into your ink-jet color printer as indicated on the package. Print a test on regular paper first to make sure you've chosen the right design for the type of iron-on paper you have. Set the printable aside for a few minutes to dry, and then cut out the image--cutting close to the colored edge of the image. Kids can definitely help with this part.
Preheat the iron and fold the towel into thirds on a countertop or other hard surface. To further protect your countertop, you may want to place a magazine or a large book under the towel. For best results, though, don't use your ironing board.
If you printed reversed image, place the cut-out facedown on the mouse pad blank. If you printed non-reversed image, peel off its backing and place the image faceup on the mouse pad blank. Cover with the protective sheet that comes with your transfer paper. Iron the image with firm and steady pressure in a circular motion. Start at one corner and work your way slowly to the opposite corner, and then do the same for the other two corners. Finish by moving the iron in a circular motion around the entire area for 10-15 seconds using steady pressure.
In case of the image ironed on facedown, starting at one corner, slowly peel the backing away from the mouse pad. In case of the image ironed on faceup, simply remove the protective sheet. Let the mouse pad to cool for a few minutes before using.
Print the non-reversed image onto a sheet of fabric transfer paper. Carefully set the printable aside and allow it to dry for at least 10 minutes. When dry, your child can cut out the image, peel it away from the backing, and stick it directly to the mouse pad blank using fabric glue.

Xavier High School is a college preparatory Catholic high school run by the Xaverian Brothers. It is located in Middletown, Connecticut, United States. Young men from over 65 towns surrounding Middletown attend Xavier. Mercy High School is its sister school.
It is sponsored jointly by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Norwich and the Congregation of the Brothers of Saint Francis Xavier. The school was incorporated under the laws of the State of Connecticut on February 18, 1963.
Xavier High School was founded in 1963 by the Xaverian Brothers. From the foundation of the school until the present, Xavier has maintained an educational philosophy which seeks "to instill the teachings of God, to guide and counsel students, and to help them prepare for college, for life work, and above all, for life itself."[2]
On May 29, 1998, the Most Reverend Daniel Hart, Bishop of Norwich, and Brother Matthew Burke, Superior General of the Xaverian Brothers, gave final approval to an agreement whereby Xavier High School was formally recognized as a Xaverian Brothers Sponsored School. According to the terms of the agreement, the corporate structure of the school has been modified to reflect what is now common practice at other Xaverian Brothers schools while also preserving Xavier's identity as an institution of the Catholic Diocese of Norwich.[3]
Xavier competes in the Southern Connecticut Conference (SCC) of the CIAC in Connecticut.[4]
Xavier's football team has won the CIAC Class LL State Championship in 1974, 2005, 2010, 2011, and 2012. Additionally, they have won the Southern Connecticut Conference title in 2000, 2004, 2005, 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Xavier's sailing team won Connecticut State Championships in 2004 and 2006, and placed 7th at the New England Championships in both team and fleet racing in 2006.[5]
Xavier's Cross Country team holds the most state titles out of any sport at the school, winning its latest in 2009.
FIRST Robotics Team 4557[edit]
The School helps to sponsor FIRST Team 4557, The FullMetal Falcons, as a first year rookie team. The team, sponsored by UTC, NASA, and Xavier High School among others, received the Rookie All-Star Award and the Highest Rookie Seed award at the WPI Regional. This means that the team will be headed to the championship event in St. Louis Missouri. The FullMetal Falcons received 25th out of 46 teams at the regional.
Engineering club[edit]
The school is home to an engineering team named The Falcons. This club was started in 2008 by Michael Humphreys, a physics, engineering, and math teacher at the school, as well as an alumnus. Each year the club competes in the Real World Design Challenge, an aeronautical design competition. The 2009/2010 team won the state competition with their fuel-efficient aircraft the "Millennium Falcon", named after the starship in Star Wars, as well as tying in the team name. The objective for the state competition was to design the empanage of a given baseline business jet as well as the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. The design utilized a V-tail position at a 45° dihedral angle. After winning the state competition, the team moved on to the nationals where they competed against twenty-six other states. The national competition included the adding of wings to the design, and created a system that involved the stabilizers, tail cone, and wings working together to create a fuel efficient aircraft. Unfortunately they did not place.
The 2010/2011 team again won the state level competition, and at the national competition were awarded first place honors.[6]

I am a terrible shame For which you're all to blame I come with lots of extras That no one really needs If it's made under the sun I certainly must have more than one Preplanned obsolescence Is my very core And consumerism That just ups the score A pretty picture in a shiny frame A fancy present, on it is your name Those things are with you now Soon they'll be with me It's said that you can't take it with you When your time is up But that's not so with me For I am here forever Perhaps as a whole Though likely broke apart Remember that soon as you made me Of me you became a part Do not create another Do not break my heart Who am I I am a landfill

So every year a few friends and I go on an NFL trip where we go to Sunday and Monday night game. The trick is obviously they have to be close. This year we are going on week 5 to see the Broncos vs Patriots on Sunday and then off to the Monday night game in New York to see the Texans vs Jets.
So we usually leave Wednesday and check out the Sunday game city (which this year is Boston) and then stay in the Monday night game city for the game and then head home. As we plan on watching a game in every stadium we will be back to New York so our main focus on this trip is Boston.
So my question is what do you recommend to do in Boston? Give me some restaurants we should hit, cool places, sports bars near Foxborough or Fenway or any other recommendations you might have.
We have planned to check out Harvard and M.I.T. already but just looking for other great ideas that locals might have that we don't know about. Thanks for your ideas in advance.

SWEEET!! ...pocket size 1911, very cool!! Is this a carry gun the wife & you will share? Wondering why she chose your next firearm?
Very nice. You have a smart wife.
No, it's for me. Let her pick it out and be part of the process and not get mad when I bring home new guns. I was going to get whatever she picked out. I am lucky she has good taste.
I knew it wouldn't be Pink, she hates pink. And She doesn't like the Revolvers. So, I was feeling good about it. Didn't think she would go Kimber.
Good grief you're getting alot of new guns fast!!! I'm not jealous or anything....I just have the urge to spar bare knuckled with your 1911's on the line. : )
Just doing my part to stimulate the economy.
What a beaut! Make sure you take good care (as I'm sure you will). You know how 1911s have to be pampered

The Linux File System Standard
Now if you're like me, you ask "What does this do for me?" Well, the answer depends upon just who "me" is. The FSSTND has an impact upon Linux users, system administrators, distributors, documenters, and developers.
If you are a Linux user, and you don't administrate your own Linux system (granted, this situation is somewhat rare) then the Linux FSSTND ensures that you will be able to find programs where you'd expect them to be if you've already had experience on another Linux machine. It also ensures that any documentation you may have makes sense. (From my own experience, nothing is more annoying than having inaccurate documentation!) Furthermore, if you've already had some experience with Unix before, then the FSSTND shouldn't be too different from what you're used to using, with some exceptions.
Perhaps the most important thing is that the development of a standard brings Linux to a level of maturity authors and commercial applications developers feel they can support that. The recent explosion of Linux-related books is proof of this. Before the FSSTND, it would have been difficult to write books about Linux, since each system was different. The FSSTND is solving all that.
If you administer your own machine, you gain all the benefits of the FSSTND mentioned above. You may also feel more secure in the ability of others to provide support for you, should you have a problem. Furthermore, periodic upgrades to your system are easier. Since there is an agreed-upon standard for the locations of files, package maintainers can provide instructions for upgrading that will not leave extra, older files lying around your system collecting disk space.
The FSSTND also means that there is more support from those providing source code packages for you to compile and install yourself. The provider knows, for example, where the executable for sed is to be found on a Linux machine and can use that in his installation scripts or Makefiles. For instance, I've written a package that does just this to generate man pages with correct file references in them before it installs them. If you run a large network, the FSSTND may ease many of your NFS headaches, since it specifically addresses the problems which formerly made shared implementations of /usr impractical.
If you are a distributor, then you will be affected most by the Linux FSSTND. You may have to work a little extra to make sure that your distribution is FSSTND-compliant, but your users (and hence your business) will gain by it. If your system is compliant, third party add-on packages (and possibly your own) will integrate smoothly with your system.
Your users will, of course, gain all the benefits listed above, and many of your support headaches will be eased. You will benefit from all the discussion and thought that has been put into the FSSTND and avoid many of the pitfalls involved in designing a filesystem structure yourself. If you adhere to the FSSTND, you will also be able to take advantage of various features that the FSSTND was designed around. For example, FSSTND makes "live" CD-ROMs containing everything except some of the files in the / and /var directories possible.
If you write documentation for Linux, the FSSTND makes it much easier to do so, which makes sense to the Linux community. You no longer need to worry about the specific location of lock files on one distribution versus another, nor are you forced to write documentation that is only useful to the users of a specific distribution. The FSSTND is at least partly responsible for the recent explosion of Linux books being published.
If you are a developer, the existence of a FSSTND greatly eases many of your headaches. You can know where important system binaries are found, so you can use them from inside your programs or your shell scripts. Supporting users is also greatly eased, since you don't have to worry about things like the location of these binaries when resolving support issues. If you are the developer of a program that needs to integrate with the rest of the system, the FSSTND ensures that you can be certain of the steps to meet this end.
For example, applications such as kermit, which access the serial ports, need to know they can achieve exclusive access to the tty device. The FSSTND specifies a common method of doing this so that all compliant applications can work together. That way you can concentrate on making more great software for Linux instead of worrying about how to detect and deal with the differences in flavors of Linux.
As I've already indicated, the widespread acceptance of the FSSTND by the Linux community has been crucial to the success of both the standard and operating system. Fortunately, nearly every distribution of Linux has been constructed to conform to the the Linux FSSTND. The odds are, if you're running Linux, you are running a FSSTND implementation. If your implementation isn't at least partially FSSTND-compliant, then it is probably either very old or you built it yourself. The FSSTND itself contains a list of some of the distributions that aim to conform to the FSSTND. Be aware, however, that some of these distributions are known to cut some corners in their implementation of FSSTND.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I agree with that. He wasn't better than Romo. There you are, like everyone else, saying that if Dallas had played mistake free football they would have won. Welcome to reality, buddy. No one plays mistake free football. And like everyone else, you want to extrapolate what may have happened if Dallas didn't make mistakes, but leave the Jets mistakes intact? And here's another thing... who in their right mind would have thought that Romo was going to beat up on the Jets secondary. So, should you take away a TD and 100 yards because that should not have happened?

Senators sign G Anderson to three-year extension

The 33-year-old was originally acquired by the Senators from the Colorado Avalanche on Feb. 18, 2011, in exchange for Brian Elliott. He signed a four- year contract extension with the Senators the next month.

Delta Air Lines is planning to downgrade its New York-Kiev and Atlanta-Moscow services from year-round to seasonal as part of a major reduction in its international capacity.
The carrier also has decided to suspend its Atlanta-Dakar-Cape Town service for one year and to not resume its seasonal New York-Buenos Aires service until December 2010.
Delta late last week asked the DOT for dormancy waivers covering several existing routes as it adjusts its international network to match up with declining demand. This follows Delta's 11 June announcement that it will cut international capacity by 15% in September, compared to a previous plan unveiled in March to trim international capacity by only 10%.
In the 11 June announcement Delta said the capacity cut will be achieved in part by suspending two transpacific routes - Atlanta-Seoul and Atlanta-Shanghai - and three transatlantic routes - Cincinnati-Frankfurt, Cincinnati-London Gatwick and New York JFK-Edinburgh.
In its filing with the US DOT, Delta revealed it also plans to convert its New York-Kiev and Atlanta-Moscow service from year-round to seasonal.
The carrier says it now operates three weekly year-round flights from New York JFK to Kiev with an extra two additional frequencies in the summer. But from 1 September, the carrier is asking for permission to drop this route entirely until the 2010 summer season.
Delta now connects Atlanta with Moscow four times per week year-round with an additional three frequencies during the summer. The carrier also is asking for permission from the DOT to stop serving this route from 1 September until next summer.
In the same filing Delta also revealed it plans to suspend its four weekly flights to Cape Town in South Africa on 1 September. These flights, which operate from Atlanta with a fuel stop in Dakar, where transfers are available with Delta's New York-Dakar service, launched last June.
Delta does not indicate exactly when it plans to resume its JFK-Kiev and Atlanta-Moscow services. But for the Atlanta-Dakar-Cape Town route it has asked for a dormancy waiver until 1 September 2010, suggesting Delta for now intends to re-launch the service exactly one year after its suspension.
Delta also is asking the DOT for a dormancy waiver for its five weekly frequencies between JFK and Buenos Aires. The carrier served this route for the first time last winter and was planning to resume it this coming winter. But Delta is now requesting permission to not resume the route until 18 December 2010.
The carrier says the requests for dormancy waivers are being made "in light of adverse global market conditions that are continuing to suppress demand for international air travel. Delta is taking proactive measures now, making prudent adjustments to its international schedules in advance of the winter season, traditionally the weakest demand period.
"These temporary service reductions are part of a company-wide strategic effort designed to better align capacity with current demand, and position Delta for long-term success when the economy recovers," the Atlanta-based carrier says.
The cuts will temporarily leave Cape Town and Kiev without any Delta service. Delta is the only US carrier currently serving either of these cities.
Delta, however, will continue to serve Moscow from New York and Buenos Aires from Atlanta. It will also continue to serve Johannesburg in South Africa from both Atlanta and New York.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OriginVery little is known about Cottonmouth other than before he joined the Serpent Society, he was a common criminal in Mobile, Alabama. He was presumably enhanced by Roxxon Oil in order to gain superhuman abilities. He was then contacted by Sidewinder to join the criminal organization. During the mission to murder MODOK, Cottonmouth and his comrade Death Adder brutally attacked their target, and before Captain America was able to save him, the pair succeeded in killing him. Cottonmouth later attempted to kill Captain America alongside Rattler, Diamondback, and Death Adder, though he was eventually defeated and imprisoned. However, Sidewinder quickly freed Cottonmouth which allowed him to continue on with the Serpent Society.CreationCottonmouth was created by Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary in 1985 and first appeared in Captain America # 310.Mayor Story ArcsAtlantis AttacksCobra would take a job from Ghaur and Llyra to obtain four objects containing arcane mystic powers. Cobra would split up members of the Serpent Society and send them to various locations to retrieve these objects. Cottonmouth, Rattler, Bushmaster and Black Racer would come into conflict with Longshot, Psylocke, Storm and Dazzler of the X-Men over a magical rock located in Iceland. Cottonmouth attempts to bite off Psylocke's head but he gets hit by Storm's lightning bolt. The X-Men are teleported away into Mr. Jip's lair when they find all four mystical items. Cottonmouth and the rest of the Serpent Society are double crossed by Sidewinder and Diamondback, leaving them broke and battered. Erik Killmonger would hire Boss Morgan to eliminate the Black Panther in the United States. Morgan gathers a group of criminals that include Cottonmouth, Nightshade, Cockroach Hamilton, and Stiletto for this assignment. However the Black Panther is backed up by some of his friends, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Falcon and Bill Foster. During the fight, Cottonmouth clamps onto Cage's arm but he is unable to pierce his steel-hard skin. Cottonmouth and the rest of his fellow cronies fail to kill Black Panther and are defeated. He also briefly allied himself with Hawkeye, Plantman, and Headlok to escape from prison.American EagleThe Desert Stars would run into American Eagle after Cottonmouth entered an Indian reservation in Arizona. Cottonmouth just robbed a bank in Phoenix and the Desert Stars were in close pursuit. Cottonmouth escaped and was hiding on Indian territory after kidnapping a young girl and killing some dogs. The Desert Stars no longer had jurisdiction in Navajo Nation and the authorities had their own hero to deal with the craziness. American Eagle would defeat Cottonmouth and force him to bury the people he killed on the reservation.Battle ScarsAn open contract was placed on Staff Sergeant Marcus Johnson and was wanted dead or alive because his blood was needed by Orion, the former leader of LEVIATHAN. Johnson came into conflict with other contracted enemy agents like Deadpool and Taskmaster. Johnson found himself surrounded by Cottonmouth and the Serpent Society during his fight with Taskmaster at a construction site. Johnson tried his best to fight back but was simply overwhelmed and finally struck down by Rattler's tail. Cottonmouth wanted to bite off the head of Johnson until he was shot in the head by Deadpool. The rest of the Serpent Society were placed under arrest by SHIELD.Avengers vs X-MenCottonmouth and several members of the Serpent Society break into the Isotope Bank in San Francisco and hold several people hostage. Hope Summers responds to the police call and flies to the bank on her own. Cottonmouth and Anaconda stay with Puff Adder as he works on the vault door with his acidic spit. Hope would take out Bushmaster and Asp before confronting the rest of the Serpent Squad. Hope easily takes down Puff Adder and Anaconda and pummels away on Cottonmouth until Cyclops and the other X-Men arrive on the scene. Other VersionsMarvel AdventuresCottonmouth would be involved in a story taking place in the Marvel Adventures comics which are standalone stories and does not take place in the current Marvel Universe continuity.Cottonmouth and the Serpent Society would kidnap Dr. Curt Connors when they learn the truth about his Lizard formula and forced him to experiment on innocent civilians. The Serpent Society had Dr. Connors modify his formula and had plans to contaminate the water supply in New York so everyone would transform into humanoid lizards. However their plans were thwarted by Spider Man so Cottonmouth and the rest of the Serpent Society retreated when Connors ingested his own formula and transformed into a giant Lizard.
