7. Sporting a leather jacket and gel touched hair, Matt Giraud went from jockey prep to man with too much Dep! The easiest way to style a man without altering his look too much is to throw on a leather jacket. A Kalamazoo native, his look went from Michigan pop to Hollywood rock! Photo Credit FOX
9. Adam Lambert, an L.A. native, already had the boy-bander style down, seen left auditioning in dark jeans and a grey two tone sweater. He was transformed, though, into a blue leather wearin', skinny black jeans stomping rock star. Combining the look of Good Charlotte with an Elvis-esque hairdo, the boy-kissin' Lambert looks ready to rock his way across decades to being the next American Idol. Photo Credit FOX

The Fair Work Ombudsman will make educational visits to about 120 businesses along the Murray River in NSW next week.
Fair Work inspectors will doorknock businesses to provide information packs to employers who have entered the national workplace relations system.
They will focus on the commercial areas in Corowa, Deniliquin, Tocumwal, Finley, Howlong, Moama and Berrigan. This follows educational visits to more than 2000 other NSW businesses earlier this year. Fair Work Ombudsman NSW Director Mark Davidson says the informal visits are aimed at assisting employers to understand changes to national workplace laws, including the introduction of the National Employment Standards and Modern Awards.
The information packs include helpful resources such as fact sheets, templates and Best Practice Guides and provide advice about practical steps employers can take to adjust to the new system.
"We are very serious about our job of building knowledge and creating fairer workplaces and we are strongly focused on ensuring the community understands its workplace rights and obligations," Mr Davidson said.
"The best advice I can give to business operators is to get the basics right and everything else should start to fall into place.
"By the basics, I mean knowing what Award applies to your employees, what the correct classifications for your employees are and what pay rates apply."
The Fair Work Ombudsman has a number of tools on its website - www.fairwork.gov.au - to assist employees and employers to check minimum rates of pay, including PayCheck and Payroll Check.
Small to medium-sized businesses without human resources staff can also ensure they are better equipped when hiring, managing and dismissing employees by using free template employment documentation with step-by-step instructions or accessing a series of Best Practice Guides.
Employers or employees seeking assistance or further information can also contact the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 from 8am-6pm weekdays. For translations, call 13 14 50.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Well, this came rather fast...
Vengeance 2004:
Jonathan Coachman/Garrison Cade vs Tajiri/Rhyno - *3/4
- Worthless filler is worthless filler. I have to laugh at the green mist and every time Coach gets it, though.
Chris Jericho vs Batista - **1/4
- Pretty boring to be fair. Hell, now I'm done with the PPV, I don't even remember a thing from it. That's how unmemorable this was.
Ric Flair/Eugene vs La Resistance - **1/4
- A bit funny when Eugene goes mental and causes the DQ along with an awesome Stunner and Rock Bottom but otherwise, I'm getting bored of his act by this point. Plus his imitations of Ric Flair are terrible as he literally sounds like a barking dog when doing the "WOOOOOOOO!" thing.
Matt Hardy vs Kane - **3/4
- A decent match for how long it lasts and the ending was a bit of a surprise as Lita distracted Kane long enough for Matt to hit him with the chair and win.
Randy Orton vs Edge - ***3/4
- Pretty great match. Orton's in-ring work has improved by this point and Edge is starting to shake off the ring rust from his 14 month absence. A few interesting things about this match. Firstly, I can't help but notice Orton having a boner at the start but the match manages to be good enough that I forget about it completely. :P Secondly, Orton is the heel and Edge is the face but the crowd reaction is pretty much the opposite. Orton gets cheered and Edge is booed but somehow, Orton manages to turn the crowd against him by yelling at them that he doesn't need their support and when he loses, he manages to pull off a great heel act by pretending to cry to a bunch of boos from the crowd. At over 25 minutes, the last 7 or so minutes get very exciting and the crowd truly comes to life after the slow start.
Victoria vs Molly Holly - **
- A #1 contender match at a PPV and no title defense, wow, how logical! Anyways, this is pretty short and there's not much to remember. A nice over-the-top rope dive by Victoria and a great superkick to end the match but otherwise, Molly spends most of the match time working on her shoulder and using restholds, so this is pretty skippable.
Chris Benoit vs HHH - ***3/4
- A great match with some good mat wrestling and some small memorable spots but it is kind of ruined by the over-dramatic ending with Eugene. He has no business in the main event and the amount of attention given to what he's going to do and the lack of it given to the World Champion is a disgrace. The "Eugene sucks" chants come there towards the end which continues onto SummerSlam. I enjoyed the match but the end takes away from it.
**1/2 out of ***** (Two great matches and the rest are subpar. Might be the weakest Raw PPV in 2004 so far which might exactly be as bad as expected since Backlash & Bad Blood were both pretty good. This one is below average because there's very little to make up for the amount of filler and time killers that fail to deliver. Still, I recommend the IC & WHC matches.)

Killer bee alert! As we begin counting down the Top 40 songs of the Shady Dell, it's interesting to note that half of them are fabulous flipsides!
Take a look at the lyrics below and name those tunes!
Was it fun, making me suffer
Old rockin' chair's gonna get me
If you are willing, baby I'm able
They are a boy and girl
I know you're sick and tired of my evil ways
I'm ready to give, as well as take
Every time I see her face
I think about her warm embrace
All the chains in the world
couldn't hold me
hotter than the hottest fire
shocking like electric wire
he can give you the world but he'll never love the waaa-AAY
(end of clues)
Remember the grading scale:
All 10 right – Congratulations! You've been appointed dean of the College of Musical Knowledge
7-9 right – Licensed lyric lover
4-6 right - Lyrically challenged
1-3 right – Sign up for remedial classes at the School of Rock
0 right – You just dance and hum along!
Now, here are this week's 10 Shady Dell countdown songs:

Do you have a Shady Dell Top Tunes list of your own that you would like to share? I'd love to see it, especially if it covers a different period of Dell history. It doesn't have to contain 200 songs; even a Top 10 would be interesting and instructive. Submit your Dell's Greatest Hits list in the form of a comment and I'll get it posted.
Have a Shady day!

Hi,I am 5'4" small frame would I order a small? Also how big is this bag. I was going to ship it to a friend's and get her to bring it to me in Canada

I'm also 5'4" with a small frame, but I was measured as a medium. I strongly recommend getting measured by someone who knows what they're doing. (I was measured twice - once by someone who did know what they were doing and once by someone who did not. The one who did not measured me as an XS, but the waistbelt of the XS pack was _completely_ above my hip bones.)I'd also recommend buying a first pack at a good outfitter's where you can try various packs on and walk around with weight in them.

Foster's Sports Columnist Archives Mike Whaley Mike Whaley: Noble/Wells was the little team that could While everyone else was saying "No, they can't," the Noble/Wells boys ice hockey team was making it quite clear that "Yes, we can. Mike Whaley: They're all pulling for Angelo in Milton In Milton, the well-being of Angelo Loli is on the minds of many. Loli, a popular Nute High School junior, was rushed to Maine Medical Center in Portland on Jan. 22 with a brain injury that came out of nowhere. Mike Whaley: 'Shamus the Unexpected' shines through for Hawks The Maine Class A wrestling championship was over and Marshwood High School senior Shamus McManus was flashing a 1,000-watt smile. The unlikeliest of heroes, McManus, a first-year varsity wrestler, was beaming after his team had won its third straight Class A title. Mike Whaley: DeVoll eyeing end of his coaching run There was a time when the length of his coaching career wasn't even on the radar of veteran Noble High School wrestling coach Kip DeVoll. That was then. This is now. Mike Whaley: It was always in the blood Larry Francoeur Sr. turned 65 on Christmas and, suddenly, he feels like he's starting all over again. His youngest son, Mike, was been named head coach for the Somersworth High School girls varsity basketball team last spring. Mike Whaley: Durham's Hubbard reaches soccer zenith at SNHU I't wasn't a bad wall to hit, but it looked like coach Marc Hubbard and his Southern New Hampshire University men's soccer team might hit it again. Mike Whaley: Rix's road to 500 wins a rewarding ride Thirty-one years as a wrestling coach at Marshwood High School has been a largely rewarding ride for Matt Rix. This past Wednesday night was one of those special times where Rix was able to fully appreciate why he's still in the game. Mike Whaley: Low-key Carney 'living in the moment' It was 2012 and the Coe-Brown Northwood Academy girls were experiencing the finest cross country season in school history. The same, however, could not be said for then junior Jessie Carney. Her promising start to 2012 had descended into a nightmare. Mike Whaley: Ron, long may you run At 76, Ron Weitzell has run up some exceptionally high mileage as a basketball coach and official. Still pretty much operating on all cylinders, too, thank you very much. The long-time Newmarket resident is currently coaching high school golf, possibly the oldest head coach in the state. Mike Whaley: Nute volleyball paying it forward In this decade of dominance for the Nute High School volleyball team, Kristin Wilson has featured prominently at both ends — as a player and a coach. Wilson, 25, recently guided the Rams to a 20-0 record and the Division III title. Mike Whaley: 'It's been that long ... Really?' Gary Gadbois, now 38, is the last quarterback to lead the Spaulding High School football team onto the field for a playoff home game and a playoff win — 20 years ago this month. Mike Whaley: Tiger boys kicking up some soccer dust In Farmington, the high school boys' athletic landscape has long been dominated by basketball and baseball. That has left soccer as an after thought, a second-hand citizen. Understandably so, perhaps. Mike Whaley: Tkaczyk, Cox and the ties that bind Tkaczyk and Cox. It has a 1970s TV show or comedy team ring to it. Well, they are funny guys. Pretty good coaches, too. Tkaczyk (pronounced ta-kay-zick) and Cox are Brent Tkaczyk and Tim Cox. Mike Whaley: Wiffle Ball still curving at 60 Wiffle Ball — the iconic white perforated plastic ball that curves — turned 60 this year. A simple American success story, it remains as popular and relevant as ever. Mike Whaley: One team's last hurrah in Somersworth? When the Somersworth High School field hockey team walks off the field for the last time later this fall, it will be the final game in Hilltopper blue and white for 10 seniors. It could also mark the end of the school's field hockey program. Mike Whaley: Post 7's thrilling script was a real winner Tuesday under the Concord lights, Rochester Post 7 put on a clinic on how to keep fans on the edge of their seats. That's if they were sitting. Mike Whaley: Gray delivers when it matters for Post 7 Alex Gray was not the least bit happy with his senior baseball season at Spaulding High School. Well, with the extraordinary American Legion season he's having, high school is just a distant memory. Mike Whaley: Three generations in the Spaulding dugout When Dot Callaghan coached the very first Spaulding High School softball team back in 1977, the team's uniforms were comprised of hand-me-down Spaulding baseball jerseys and blue jeans. The Red Raiders had no field back then, no budget and very little respect. Mike Whaley: From strike three to play ball in Milton? Last week was a bad at-bat week in Milton. Things improved this week and next week promises, if everything works out, to be even better. Back to normal even. Mike Whaley: On the run to honor Walter Shyska The late Walter Shyska of Dover had a passion for running, both competitively and recreationally. His wife, Mary Ulinski, figured what better way to honor his memory than to run the Boston Marathon, one of his favorite races. Mike Whaley: Loss, courage and one smoking dunk It is one of those images in sport that time cannot erode. It is Carlton Fisk gyrating up the first-base line, willing his home run in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series to go fair. It is the United States hockey team storming the ice after upsetting Russia in the 1980 Winter Olympics. Mike Whaley: Another tough life battle that Jayson is winning Jayson Whitehouse was often challenged as a Farmington High School baseball and basketball star earlier this century. He almost always rose to the occasion, scoring nearly 1,600 points on the basketball hardwood and leading the Tiger baseball team to a pair of state titles. Mike Whaley: March's madness tickles this Lee's fancy When March Madness rolls around, Josh Lee, an avowed basketball junkie, can think of no better place to be. Of course, Lee has the equivalent of a ringside seat at the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. Mike Whaley: It's not about them Disappointment was etched across Casey Craig and Dylan Cunningham's faces as they walked off the Southern New Hampshire University basketball court on Saturday. |

LeT, Qaida's implementing arm?
December 4, 2008

NEW DELHI: Though the Mumbai attacks trail has so far not proceeded beyond Lashkar-e-Taiba , the possibility of the involvement of al-Qaida in the terror outrage is not being ruled out given targeting of westerners and the lack of any effort to cover up the Pakistani origins of the terrorists. Al- Qaida was suspected the very day the attacks unfolded given the audacious planning and the terror extravaganza the planners clearly envisaged.

Is Lashkar the new al-Qaida?
July 4, 2009
Indrani Bagchi , TNN
NEW DELHI: The evidence is tumbling out of the closet: Pakistan's creation Lashkar-e-Taiba is not merely allied to al-Qaida but can now be described as the new al-Qaida. With the UN Security Council listing LeT leaders Arif Qasmani, Mohammad Yahya Mujahid and Abu Mohammed Ameen al-Peshawari as terrorists allied to al-Qaida, yet another veil is being ripped off Pakistan's terror claims. The three, banned under a UN Security Council resolution adopted on June 29, are not mere footsoldiers of the...

CAIRO-EGYPT: The meltdown in the global financial system may spare al-Qaida.

Yet all is not lost in the effort to rein in money for terror groups. One principal reason the groups may avoid fallout now is because they've...
