1974 Pontiac Trans Am 455 - Firebird Family AffairWritten by on November 3, 2006 Contributors: Thomas A. DeMauro The DeLaigle Family's Super-Fast Admiralty Blue 455 D-Port '74 Trans Am Sleeper
No matter the hobby, one facet that always holds true is there are myriad ways for hobbyists to enjoy it. And our Pontiac hobby is certainly one with many avenues. To some, only high-quality, number-matching restorations are of interest, while the only numbers that may concern others are from a dyno or dragstrip. Then there are hobbyists like Woodstock, Georgia-resident Jay DeLaigle, who seeks maximum performance while retaining a factory-assembled appearance.
An Admiralty Blue '74 Trans Am is how Jay satisfies his performance fixation. That said, your first thought might be that a Super Duty 455 resides between its framerails. But Jay's T/A is actually one of 4,648 produced that year with the optional 250hp D-port 455 backed by a Turbo-400 transmission. And the modifications that propel this 2-ton piece of American iron down the dragstrip in the low 13s are all under the guise of an otherwise correctly restored vehicle. But the road to get there wasn't always smooth.
The 39-year-old auto wholesaler and father of three has had a lifelong love affair with Second-Gen Firebirds. Speaking of his formative years, Jay tells HPP, "My friend Art Burdell and I always dreamed of owning a Trans Am. When I was 10 years old, my neighbor's '74 Formula 400 four-speed really had an impact on me, and the 1977 release of Smokey and the Bandit really cemented that car as a goal." It wasn't long thereafter that Jay realized his dream.
During the '80s, Jay's father was part owner of a used car lot in Norcross, Georgia. The two used to frequent the nearby Loganville auto auction for vehicles to stock the lot. A day that will forever remain with Jay is May 29, 1985. "After 10 minutes of looking, we came across a '74 Trans Am 455," he recalls. "Seeing a small-rear-window Firebird was a rarity even in 1985. A short test drive around the auction lot sealed it for me; when the car finally went under the gavel, we won it for $2,130."
Having purchased several cars that day, Jay, then a high school senior, got to drive the Trans Am back home. Knowing that his father frowned upon abusive driving, Jay lagged back from the caravanning pack to catch a red light and gauge the large-cube Firebird's performance out of his father's eye. What he didn't know, however, was a mechanical issue with another car in the pack caused the group to pull over. This gave his father a full view of the massive burnout and resulted in the Firebird being taken away.
"In a matter of one hour, I had found and lost the car of my dreams," says Jay. "Over the next few days, I wore on my dad, begging for the car back. But little did I know he had plans to rebuild the worn engine and have it ready by my high school graduation. That June was as special as anything could be up to that point in my life." His T/A's maiden voyage was a memorable trip with friend Steve Thomas to Panama City, Florida, just days after graduating.
The T/A was Jay's only mode of transportation for the next several years. In that time, he installed a number of different aftermarket components with hopes of increasing the 455's output. The most significant change occurred in 1988 when Jay had Atlanta-area Pontiac-guru Wayne Hubbard remove the T/A's original Turbo-400 and install a complete four-speed manual assembly from a donor Firebird. "It seemed he had the car all summer," Jay recollects, "But the idea of a four-speed 455 seemed worth it."
Modifications began to take their toll on the Trans Am's reliability, oftentimes leaving Jay without transportation, so he drove the Trans Am sparingly and decided to rebuild the 455. He hoped to improve the engine's durability by using high-performance internals such as SD-455 connecting rods, but shoddy machining quickly led to its demise, forcing Jay to place the T/A in his father's garage for long-term storage while his wallet healed.
Several years came and went, as well as Jay's first marriage, as the Trans Am sat covered in extended slumber. When he began dating Nicole, "She was cool with cars and familiar with YearOne. She even had friends who worked there. Irony poured all over me," he says.
Jay and Nicole married in 2001 and life was great, but money for the Trans Am was still sparse. In 2002, after prodding from friends, Jay finally removed the T/A's cover to see what it might take to make it roadworthy and found that it needed little beyond an engine rebuild.
About this same time, a new form of racing called F.A.S.T. caught Jay's attention. It stands for Factory Appearing Stock Tire and allows for a number of modifications that improve performance yet maintain the vehicle's original appearance while running on vintage-technology tires. Always fascinated by stock-appearing performance, Jay decided this was the path he wanted to take with his Trans Am's restification.
The 455 was sent to another Atlanta-area machine shop where, over a year's time, it once again was machined improperly resulting in engine damage. Undeterred by machine shop woes, Jay forged ahead and searched for a qualified body shop to apply a show-quality finish to the exterior and found Shannon Born of Street Machines and More of Chickamauga, Georgia.
Bodywork began in May 2004 and took six months to complete. Starting with a virtually rust-free shell, Born applied two coats of PPG self-etching primer and urethane surfacer. Next were three coats of PPG Global Urethane code 29 Admiralty Blue base followed by two coats of PPG Deltron Urethane clear. The final coat of clear was wet-sanded with 2,000-grit paper and buffed to a mirror-like finish. Two coats of PPG Epoxy Primer in black were applied to the T/A's subframe after it was removed and sandblasted. Jay spent the rest of the year reassembling the car and searching for a quality machine shop to rebuild his engine.
Having had several bad experiences with area machine shops, Jay contacted Cliff Ruggles of Cliff's Q-Jet in Mount Vernon, Ohio, who had custom-calibrated a Quadrajet for Jay and answered several technical questions. "Cliff recommended Jim Lehart of Central Virginia Machine Service (CVMS) in Burkeville, Virginia," says Jay. "Jim found many mistakes and problems that he had to iron out, but he had me ready for the show season by March 2005."
The correct '74 YW-code block was bored 0.040 inch to a total of 4.191, and the nodular-iron crankshaft retains its original 4.21-inch stroke. Total displacement equates to 465 ci. Cylinders were filled with Speed Pro forged-aluminum pistons, Sealed Power moly rings, and Eagle H-beam forged-steel connecting rods. The entire rotating assembly was balanced and rides on Federal Mogul main and Clevite rod bearings. A 60-psi Melling oil pump within the stock oil pan pressurizes the lubrication system.
To remain F.A.S.T.-class legal, CVMS massaged a pair of 4X cylinder heads for Jay's 455. In addition to milling the heads to meet Jay's target compression-ratio range of 10.0:1, the company completely rebuilt the castings and performed a competition valve job including new 2.11/1.77-inch valves. The intake ports were enlarged to R/A IV-size, and port work increased the intake and exhaust airflow capacity to 257/215-cfm at 28 inches, respectively. CVMS also port-matched a correct No. 495106 cast-iron intake manifold with EGR.
A Comp Cams hydraulic-roller camshaft featuring 236/242 degrees duration at 0.050 inch and a 110-degree lobe separation angle opens the valves to a gross valve lift of 0.552/0.562 inch when combined with the 1.65:1-ratio Harland Sharp roller rocker arms. On the rear of the camshaft is a points-type distributor triggered by a Crane XR1 conversion kit with a rev-limiter setting of 5,800 rpm. The stock coil initiates spark, and the stock-replacement plug wires transfer the current to a set of AC R45TS spark plugs. Total timing is set at 34-degrees BTDC, which is achieved by 2,800 rpm.
The correct No. 7044262 Quadrajet modified by Cliff's Q-Jet contains 0.069-inch primary jets, 0.042-inch-diameter primary metering rods, and 0.040-inch secondary metering rods. A stock-replacement mechanical AC fuel pump acts as a return-style regulator for the Mallory Comp 110-series electric pump that supplies fuel to the hungry mill through the stock fuel lines. A replacement K&N air filter residing within the stock air-cleaner assembly cleanses the cool air that's drawn through the modified Shaker scoop.
Unlike most enthusiasts who seek maximum output, Jay decided to forego tubular headers and even Ram Air-style exhaust manifolds. Instead he chose to reuse the original No. 490142 and 490143 log-style exhaust manifolds to comply with F.A.S.T.-class rules. The castings were port-matched, and the collector flanges were enlarged to a diameter of 2.25 inches. They mate to a 2.5-inch aluminized exhaust system from Pypes Performance Exhaust of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, that includes an X-type crossover, a transverse-mounted DynoMax Ultra Flo SS muffler, and reproduction chrome exhaust extensions.
Behind the high-performance mill is an original cast-iron flywheel with an 11-inch Hayes street/strip clutch. Coupled to this is a Borg-Warner Super T10 manual transmission that was rebuilt by Eric Babin of Marietta Auto Specialists in Marietta, Georgia. The original 8.5-inch GM 10-bolt rear axle with limited-slip differential, which contained its original 3.08:1 gear set, will soon house a 3.42:1 unit.
The T/A's suspension consists of many stock components, including its original 1.25-inch front and 0.812-inch rear stabilizer bars and rear leaf springs that are now clamped just ahead of the axle tubes. Front coil springs are from Moroso, and the front shocks are Competition Engineering 90/10 drag-racing units. Rear shocks are stock-replacement Delco pieces. Competition Engineering bolt-in subframe connectors help dampen road imperfections and improve body rigidity.
A set of restored 15x7-inch Honeycomb wheels accented by N.O.S. trim rings and center caps are mounted onto the original front-disc/rear-drum brake system. And even through Jay's Trans Am was originally equipped with GR70x15 steel-belted radial tires, he chose a set of reproduction F60-15 Firestone Wide Oval bias-ply tires to maintain a period-correct look and still comply with F.A.S.T.-class rules.
Since the Trans Am's completion in early 2005, Jay and Nicole have amassed a small collection of trophies, many of which are Best in Class awards. Included among them is HPP's coveted Editor's Choice Award, which was presented to Jay and his 18-year-old son, Jack, at the 2006 Pontiacs In The Park event in Petersburg, Virginia, covered elsewhere in this issue ("PY Pontiacs in the Park," page 32). This Firebird's success, however, is not limited to the show field.
The 455 engine in the stealthy Trans Am cranked out 380 hp at 5,300 rpm and 464 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm as measured the rear wheels. And even with a portly race weight of 4,150 pounds, the car owns a present quarter-mile best of 13.20 seconds at a trap speed of 108.90 mph in the F.A.S.T.-class event at Martin, Michigan, in June 2006. With a best 60-foot time of 2.17 seconds with the F60-15 Firestones, Jay hopes that with more power, better traction, a little tuning, and more seat time his Trans Am can break into the 12s.
How does Jay feel about his T/A? "I have always been attracted to Second-Gen T/As of all types. But I really like how few '74 455 cars are left, especially in Admiralty Blue. It seems that no one brings the base 455 cars back to the level that the SD-455s are. But the car isn't really a dedicated F.A.S.T.-class racer. It's legal if I choose to enter another F.A.S.T.-class event in the future though."
Jay's Admiralty Blue T/A isn't the only Second-Gen Firebird currently in the DeLaigle household. Nicole has a Buccaneer Red '74 Trans Am with a 400ci engine and automatic transmission that she calls her own. With a totally stock-appearing '74 Trans Am with 12-second potential and a wife like Nicole, it sounds like Jay has found the right combination in a couple different ways. Now that's what we call a Firebird family affair!

Under the cloak of a stock 455 lies a 465ci engine with 10:1 compression, a hydraulic roller camshaft, ported 4X cylinder heads, port-matched intake and exhaust manifolds, and a modified Quadrajet carburetor. The combination churns out 380 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque on a chassis dyno.Though the L75 455ci was only available with a Turbo-400 during the '74 model year, the complete four-speed manual assembly was installed in the late-'80s. Future plans include reinstalling the automatic to maintain originality. The owner performed much of the interior restoration himself, which includes a new carpet from Auto Custom Carpets of Anniston, Alabama, and various pieces from restoration parts supplier YearOne. Denny Sanford of Atlanta Color Pros in Marietta, Georgia, redyed the original seat covers back to their off-white shade and installed new front-seat cushions onto the frames. Factory-installed options include air conditioning, Custom interior, power windows, rear defogger, AM/FM stereo, and console-mounted 8-track tape player.A bit of stealth technology was used when modifying the factory Shaker scoop. It may first appear that this T/A's Shaker is riveted shut like all others from '73 forward. But it actually contains a hinged air valve like that used on '70-'72 models, which allows the carburetor to ingest cooler outside air.The front suspension was also rebuilt while the body was disassembled. Moroso drag springs and Competition Engineering drag shocks were employed to help the car transfer weight during a hard launch.

About two years ago I was on Jury Duty. At or about 0730 hours the lawyers in their suits
and dresses gather outside the court house. They probably can sense I and others are jurors
They are not permitted to talk with Jurors But there were more lawyers than in the court house than
jurors and those standing trail
Better than me spouting my views what should we do with the Cardiogoist who killed his kids?
Do you think he should go free, get marrie, have kids, murder those kids?
The yellow pages of any metropolitan city. The largest listing? Not Car dealers, Not Real Estate. Not Pizza resturantt. LAWYERS
We are all aware of obsene lawsuits. In my neighborhood about 20 years ago there was a man who
was cleaning out his gutters full of leaves. He took his ladder and laid it against the gutters.
Ladder was placed close to the power line going into his home. He was on the ladder.
Ladder slipped being in soft ground. Long story, short story, His wife sued the manufacture of the ladder and the local power company. I never knew the outcome of the trail, but the local power company hired a lawyer, as well as the manufacture of the ladder. Any one with an ounce of brains would know not to have the ladder parked so close to the power lines
Who do you think the power company and ladder manufacture are going to roll on the cost of their lawyers?
In our business. Allied Barton. Securitas, US Security Associates have lawyers who have defend the companies
from employees who have been terninated and run to a lawyer when they are fired
Employee may be late 2-3 times a week. He misses his clock rounds. He is sleeping on the job, but God forbid
you terminate him, he will sue

But what is the solution? According to your constitution a person is innocient until proven guilt & a person is entitled to a fair trial. If you do away with all defense lawyers how does this take place?I enforce rules and regulations, not laws.

Comnon sense tells would tell you not to do this
I have no doubt you have had to terminate someone at your hotel. Stealing, no show over and over, poor performance on the job. not a team player. I am sure you spoke with some in authority at work I wouild bet maybe legal counsel was sought.
Could you as a lawyer stand in a court room and defend the creep who killed his kids?
My beef is the Trail Lawyers we are zonked with.
Many homeowners I know have what is called Umbrella Insurance. You can protect your home for up to
$ 5 million dollars
In a nearby community a lawsuit against the homeowner. Here is the kicker. Lawsuit was by somone
who broke into a home in the middle of the night. He was in the basement and tripped over a kid's bike
He sued the homeowner for a broken knee. HS you cannot make this up. If you were his lawyer could
you defend this person?
In Canada we do not have as many civil lawsuits as you do in the US & in the ones we do have the awards are not nearly as large. So keeping the civil side out of it, what about the criminal side. How does an accused get a defense if there were no lawyers?I enforce rules and regulations, not laws.

News: Gravity does most of the work
Story by Cpl. Jeff Drew
MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – "You're falling to the Earth, to your death, unless you do something about it," said Senior Chief Anthony Schudel, the Master Diver for 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division. "There are a lot of things beyond your control that can go wrong with parachuting."
Jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft seems like a crazy idea to most, but for the Marines and sailors of 2nd Reconnaissance Battalion, it's just another Wednesday.
"This is a skill you have to keep at or it's vitally lost," said Schudel, a veteran of 541 jumps. "It's a critical skill, but once you're back in the aircraft it all kind of comes back to you."
In order to stay proficient as a top tier reconnaissance unit, Marines with the battalion must consistently sharpen their skills or risk losing them. While many of the service members jumped as part of a low-level static line jump, several of the more experienced jumpers took to the clouds for a free-fall jump from 10,000 feet.
"We would like to get everybody to that military free-fall capability because you can't hear the aircraft at that altitude; you can't hear the Marines open their chutes at that altitude. We would like to get everyone to that level. Jumping, diving, or fast-roping, it's just a means to get to the mission," said Lt. Col. Robert Revoir, the commanding officer of 2nd Recon. "Our primary mission is ground reconnaissance, battlefield shaping and amphibious reconnaissance. Most of those require a clandestine insertion. (Jumping) is a clandestine insertion capability."
Physically, the Marines must endure the weight of the equipment on their back, the force that terminal velocity - approximately 122 miles-per-hour for a skydiver in the belly-to-earth position, takes on their frame as well as be able to carry their parachute back to their starting position. Mentally, the service members must overcome the sheer terror of jumping out of a helicopter and be able to improvise in case any unforeseen emergency happens during their flight back to Earth. Luckily the Marines of 2nd Recon are headstrong, determined, and can't wait for their next jump.
"Standing on the edge of the ramp in a fast moving aircraft, looking down, you can see all the landscape and the ocean – the wind is howling and you know you are going to get ready to start flying through the air, it's pretty exhilarating," said Schudel. "For these guys this is typically a no fail mission, failure is not an option for a lot of the things that they do, so this is why we come out and do sustainment jumps, so that they can keep driving on."

Managed services involve one recruitment provider managing the the entire recruitment process, from end to end, i.e. project management, advertising, payroll, reporting, and invoicing.
The benefits of harmonising staffing requirements are simply too great for modern organisations to ignore:
Resourcing Group's managed service solutions have been developed in response to feedback from our clients, and general trends in the market place. We found that many organisations are dealing with multiple agencies, and as such have increased administration, a lack of consistency, and are not achieving economies of scale.
Our solution enables our clients to achieve those things, but with the added value of the expertise, experience, and network of suitable candidates delivered by our specialist teams.

Automobiles companies with heavy line up of diesel vehicles have started to face the heat as buyers shift their preference back to petrol cars over diesel-powered vehicles, but Maruti Suzuki India, Hyundai Motor ahead of pack.
The fall in sale of diesel vehicles is primarily due to the governments decision to increase diesel prices gradually and decontrol the fuel eventually.
According to industry estimates, share of diesel vehicle sales in the overall passenger vehicle sales has come down to 54 per cent between April and November this financial year from 58 per cent in the corresponding period of the previous year.
* Buying a new car? Check price
The sluggish demand for diesel vehicles impacted sharply sales of companies like Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd and Toyota.
The two companies saw sales during December declining by 27.8 and 11.8 per cent respectively. All vehicles in M&Ms portfolio are diesel and a large part of Toyotas sale come from the diesel-powered Innova.
The clear winner from this shift to petrol from diesel are Maruti Suzuki India and Korean carmaker Hyundai Motors, which have registered a 5.5 and 6.2 per cent increase in their sales during the month, respectively.
Sales at Maruti Suzuki India were largely driven by demand for entry-level models like petrol-powered Alto, WagonR and A-Star, grew by 16.7 per cent to 38,286 units and entry-level sedan Swift DZire that registered a 18 per cent increase to 15,427 units in December.
At Hyundai too, demand for new entrant Grand i10 boosted domestic sales numbers during the month.
The growth in sales by countrys two large automobile companies, however, could not arrest the fall in automobile sales in December and six of the countrys automobile manufacturers posted a decline of 2.3 per cent during the month
Automobile companies believe that the worst for auto sector is over with 2013 and they expect the volumes to pick up after general elections get over.
While the immediate turnaround in the auto Industry is not expected without certain policy corrections and support, the worst seems to be over. At Mahindra we hope that the new year will bring in the much needed cheer for the Auto Sector, Pravin Shah, chief executive officer, Automotive Division, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd was quoted in their release.
The market sentiments do not seem to be improving.

American mink (Neovison vison) develop fatty liver quickly in response to food deprivation, which results in preferential mobilisation of n-3 PUFA. The altered n-3:n-6 PUFA ratio in the liver may activate the endocannabinoid system resulting in increased lipid synthesis. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of feeding intensity (80 or 120 % RDA), dietary fat source (n-3, n-6 or n-9 fatty acids (FA)) and short-term fasting (1–7 d) on hepatic de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and the development of fatty liver in mink. Significantly elevated expression of mRNA encoding for acetyl-CoA carboxylase-1 (ACC-1) and FA synthase (FAS) was observed in the liver of mink fasted for 5–7 d, while upon re-feeding for 28 d after a 7 d food deprivation, DNL returned to pre-fasting levels. The females had a higher expression of ACC-1 and FAS mRNA than the males. In the non-fasted animals, dietary fat source and feeding intensity had significant effects on ACC-1 mRNA. The highest levels were observed in the mink fed the rapeseed oil (n-9) diet at 80 % RDA, while the lowest levels were seen when the same diet was fed at 120 % RDA. For FAS, the highest gene expression was seen in the fasted mink fed at 80 % RDA and the lowest in the non-fasted mink fed at 80 %. It is concluded that short-term food deprivation induces hepatic lipidosis in mink and that during this process, hepatic DNL further exacerbates liver fat accumulation.

The X Factor's Stacy Francis Dishes On Her Elimination, Astro, And Simon Cowell
November 18, 2011 06:34 PM by Lisa Princ
Last night, on The X Factor, we said goodbye to Stacy Francis, in the show's first shocker of the season. Today, Stacy was all smiles in a press conference as she dished about her experience on the show, the attitude of Astro last night, and Simon Cowell. Read on to hear what Stacy had to say!
The X Factor named their top nine last night, after the rock and roll performances on Wednesday. Unfortunately, Stacy Francis was not included in that group, which came as a shock to most of us – we were sure she would have gone further in the competition. Earlier today, Stacy had nothing but great things to share about the show and her experience. Check out her press interview below.
Question: When Stereo Hogzz left, they said that the journey and exposure was more important than winning. Did you think you could really win or were you more looking for the exposure?
Stacy Francis: At the end of the day, I would have loved to win. I'm not as confident in myself to say I should have won. I think once we got down to the top 12, top 10, everyone in the competition had a shot in it. I was going for the $5 million, I had my eyes on the prize for sure.
Question: Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid have been very hard on Nicole all season, do you think you may have lasted longer with one of them as your mentor, instead of Nicole Scherzinger?
Stacy Francis: You know, I love Nicole very much, but the game was going very hardcore. I think Simon Cowell threw me under the bus as a judge. I have an admiration and respect for him as a creator, but that's not in the game. He made it very clear that he wanted to take the crown for his girls, and he did not support the other contestants at all. For that reason, I would have loved to have been in his category because America listens to him and they appreciate what he has to say – he's very influential. As the creator of the show, I had to thank him last night because he gave me the opportunity to be here, and for that, I have so much admiration and respect for him.
Question: Do you think that your past success in the music industry affected the outcome on the show for you?
Stacy Francis: I hope not. You know, Simon said when he came to my defense, some people have had a successful career. Obviously my career wasn't as successful as everyone was saying because noone knew who I was before I came to the X Factor. It wasn't like I was Janet Jackson and came to do the X Factor, you know? I think that it was kind of silly that it was brought it up. People were looking for news to dish on me and they got their wish, as they wanted to see me off the show and that's what they got.
Question: What was going through your head as you stood awaiting your fate?
Stacy Francis: I was in a state of shock. I didn't expect to go home. My gut was just telling me that I was in the bottom two before it was announced. When I saw Astro standing next to me, I was hoping that because he's not a singer, they would have taken the position that they wanted to let a singer go through. And then when he had a little attitude about it, I thought they would send me through. In the end, I think Simon likes the rebels.
Question: Did Astro's behavior worsen the blow for you?
Stacy Francis: When you're standing in that moment, you feel invalidated as an artist and like people gave up on you. You think maybe people don't like you anymore. We have to look at who he is – he is 14 years old. He's a little hip-hop artist, he's a little Kanye West. Hip-Hop artists have integrity about who they are and stand by what they do. They don't get caught up in what other people think, and they want to do what they want to do. I guess Astro felt rejected and that is how he reacted. He is 14, I am 42, I'm old enough to be his mom so on the other side of that, he's got the confidence at 14 years old that I didn't have at that age. I admire him for having that confidence.
Question: Don't you feel that it is unfair though that Astro was saved, given that he had given up?
Stacy Francis: I know why they did it. He is a talented kid – he has The X Factor, but I also have The X Factor. Simon even admitted that he nearly changed his mind. It was a tough decision for them. I think Astro responded how a child would. I mean, he's 14 years old and it's very difficult. I'm 42 and the night before I stood there and my face wasn't what it should have been. Sometimes we lose it as artists. It's very personal and it's hard and I think that's what happened to him. My heart goes out to him – I think he's super talented. I've watched him backstage writing and making beats and he's got an extraordinary talent. I think he's going to have a great future.
Question: What went wrong for you this week, as you said you were not happy with the performance?
Stacy Francis: You know, you're in there, it's very difficult to hear the music if the monitors aren't loud enough. I didn't have in ear pieces at the time and the audience was screaming so loud. I love when they scream for me, but I couldn't hear myself. I finally found my way, which I think was what Paula was referring to, but by that point it was a little too late. At this point in the game, for $5 million, they want someone who can overcome those obstacles and do well. So like I said, I'll take responsibility for my performance. I didn't think it was bad enough to get eliminated, but obviously they did.
Question: What's the best part of the experience that you will take with you?
Stacy Francis: Keeping my integrity. I've learned how to use my voice. I was holding long notes and not really getting what it means to sing a song and be in the moment. For so many years I sang to try and prove myself and prove to everyone that I'm a great singer. This experience taught me how to take a song and make it my own and make people love it. Simon Cowell taught me how do that, to take a song, take my time, and pull people in with my song.

I can't believe the judges caved in to that twerp Astro. America put him in the bottom two for a reason, and he showed why.

The X-Factor show sucks. It's become a show about the judges. American Idol is a much better show.
Astro should have gone home. He acted like a punk from the hood. He didn't learn a thing by being allowed to stay. The boy CAN'T SING!! I thought this was a show about singers. Paula sucks as a mentor. Don't really care if I tune in for this show next season.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
The Chicago Skates 2 in 1 Inline Training Combo Set may not be the most durable inline skates out there, but parents love how they convert from a training-wheel, "tricycle" mode into three-wheeled inline skates and also how they adjust to fit growing children's feet. They also come with a helmet, hand/wrist and knee pads, and a basic knapsack to carry the protective gear.
Built to grow. The Chicago Skates 2 in 1 Inline Training Combo Set have two major selling points: push-button adjustments (size 10J to 13J for the hard-to-find small size, or 1 to 4 for the medium) and the ability to convert from "training" skates, with dual wheels in the back for extra stability, to regular three-wheeled inline skates.
Their actual skating performance is pretty basic, with some users saying the wheels are too tight out of the box (they loosen up with use) and the closures on the boots are sometimes too loose. But when it comes to their primary job -- getting young kids used to balancing, then skating on their own -- most parents say the Chicago Skates inline training combo does a great job.
Big on protection. The Chicago Skates 2 in 1 Inline Training Combo Set comes in boys' and girls' versions (predictably, blue and pink). Each set also includes wrist and knee pads and a helmet, with a fairly flimsy backpack to hold it all together.
A few parents express concerns about the durability of the boots and wheels, saying they'll last longer if used in indoor rinks: "The wheels are not durable enough to handle outdoor use -- they are already showing a lot of wear and tear after only a month of not-too-frequent use," writes one mother at Amazon.com. Others wish the set came with elbow pads, too, to make it a complete set of protection gear.

GLEN DALE - Dating back to the mid-1950s, baseball has been exceptionally good to Bob Montgomery, and he has continually returned the favor. Montgomery has seen and experienced just about everything the game has to offer, but today will be a first.
Montgomery, the long-time John Marshall baseball coach, was notified Tuesday that he has been selected to throw out the ceremonial first pitch during today's West Virginia Power game in Charleston.
"I've had a couple of sleepless night. I've been working out 2 in the morning until 4 a.m.,'' Montgomery joked. "I've had a terrific life.

John Marshall coach Bob Montgomery has been afforded some pretty neat opportunities through the game of baseball. That continues today in Charleston.
"I never really expected to throw out a first pitch.''
While some may suggest the situation is nothing to get worked up about, Montgomery is taking the assignment fairly seriously.
"I realize I am representing John Marshall, Marshall County and the Ohio Valley anywhere I go,'' he said.
The opportunity, Montgomery said, is a result of his relationship with the family of Scott Varner, a former member of the W.Va. Legislature.
"His daughter, Shayna, there's some sort of connection there and they got me an opportunity,'' the coach said. "Scott and his family have been very good to JM baseball in a lot of different ways.
"I received a Distinguished West Virginian award through Scott and Gov. (Earl Ray) Tomblin."
This summer, like every other in recent memory has been filled with - what else - baseball for Montgomery and his wife, Sabrina. They recently attended all five games of a crucial National League Central Division showdown between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park, and actually had tickets for today's matchup with Colorado but had to exchange them for a future date with the Cardinals in order to be at Appalachian Power Park.
"This will be a lot of fun, and of course the Power is the Class A affiliates of Pirates," Montgomery said. "With the way the Pirates are going now ... and the Power also in first place right now.
"Maybe a couple guys we'll see Sunday, we'll see at PNC in a couple years.''
The Pirates are one of, if not the biggest, thrills in the lives of the Montgomerys. To see them doing so well and possibly on the way to the postseason, almost amounts to a dream come true.
"I love football and love going to the games, but baseball, there's something about Americana,'' Montgomery said. "I still think about that night in 1992 in Atlanta and letting Sid Bream, who I still think I could beat in a race, score.
"Sports, it's been my whole life. My dad started me on Reds-Pirates at Forbes Field in 1955.
"Through sports we get to get away from so-called real life and everyday happenings of the human existence."

Just recently, we had reported that Salman Khan had come up with an innovative use of the social networking platforms. In fact in an attempt to help his fans, Salman had initiated a post on social networking sites for the unemployed to find a job. Unfortunately the site created for the fans crashed due to high traffic.
However, at a recent press meet while promoting his upcoming film Kick, Salman took a dig at facebook and twitter calling it 'bakwaas' but the response he gets on his posts makes him wonder whether people have really no work to do. Comments Salman, "It is the most redundant, faltu, bakwaas, cheej hai ye, Twitter aur Facebook, ki kuch nain hai toh baithe hain iske upar. Main toh sochta hun ki tum log yaar kuch kaam vaam karte ho ya nain. Main jab bore ho jata hun to main ek tweet kar deta hun 'ae kya chal raha hai?', kabhi jute ki toh kabhi iski uski tasveer lekar bhej deta hun. And uspe aise fat fat fat se replies aa jate hain. Suddenly main sochta hun ki ye naukari kar rahe hain, ye school mein hain, hain kahan ye, koi so nain raha hai kya. So I think this is the most bakwaas thing there is, so aisi bakwaas cheej ko thoda meaning de do bhai".
Well, whatever be the case, the actor who will next be seen with Jacqueline Fernandez in Kick, has plans of using social network to do more charitable work in future.

I'm working on a series of blog entries, Getting Started With Virtualization (Using VMware ESXi), but before I dig into the background and the details, I wanted to give you something to get yourself started. I know that you, as a sysadmin, want to try before you read instead of after. To help, I'm writing this quickstart first.
- Get ESXi
- Install ESXi
- Configure ESXi
- Set up VMs
ESXi is a commercially licensed VMware product, even if there's a free license. You're going to have to register, so go to VMware, register for a free download (ESXi 5.0 is the newest, but 4.1 is the latest stable that most places have in production), and get your license. Also, while you're there, make sure to pick up a copy of the vSphere client.
To install ESXi, you need a supported platform. Because there's a relatively restrictive set of supported devices, you need to make sure your hardware is on the HCL. I've also found this whitebox HCL by vm-help.com very useful.
If you don't have a piece of hardware to install on, don't fret. It's a poorly kept secret that ESXi can be installed inside of VMware Player (free) or VMware Fusion ($$$).
You'll also need a Windows machine to install the vSphere Client on.
ESXi installs quickly, mostly because it's a CD ISO that only takes up a couple hundred megs. Generally speaking, most of the options you'll be given will make sense to you. If you're installing on a machine connected to SAN storage, I'd recommend unplugging from the SAN until the machine is configured. The setup is straight forward, but screwing up and wiping out a LUN by accident is no one's idea of a good time.
Most of the questions you'll be asked you should probably already know the answer to. The only real piece of terminology you may not know is "datastore", which is a piece of accessible storage. It can be anything from a full disk to a partition to an NFS share. If you are asked which datastore you want to install on, it'll probably be the one that looks like your system disk(s). (Incidentally, if you have fake RAID (i.e. on-motherboard SATA RAID or the like, you'll probably see two system disks rather than one mirrored set. That's just because you don't really have hardware RAID, and ESXi doesn't support software RAID).
At this point, you should have ESXi booted up and configured on the network. Install the vSphere Client on a Windows machine and connect it to the IP you gave the ESXi machine. It should load and look something remotely like this:
Double click on VMs and Templates at the top and you should be taken to a screen that looks much more like this:
…only you won't have any VMs listed on the left. So you've got to add some.
Before you do that, though, it helps to have an installation source, like a CD image. Assuming you've already got your favorite ISO handy, go pick up a copy of Veeam FastSCP, and use it to put the ISO onto the ESXi server.
Now you're ready to create a new server, so right click on the server's IP in the top left corner and follow the instructions for making a new VM. It'll ask all of the details about the software you're going to install (and don't lie – it uses these selections to specify virtual devices and settings assigned to the resulting VM), then it'll finish, leaving your VM created, but powered off.
Before you go and power it on, click on the machine, then on the "Configuration" tab. Under storage, you can assign an ISO file to the VM's CD-ROM. Give it the ISO that you transferred over using FastSCP, then right click on the machine and hit "Start".
There will be a little icon in the bar at the top that looks like a monitor with an arrow pointing out of it. Clicking this button launches the remote console in a pop-out window. Use this to configure the VM.
Inside the VM, install the OS like you normally would. Once you click in the console window, you'll notice that it eats your mouse pointer and keyboard. To release it, hit ctrl-alt at the same time.
After installing the OS, you'll need to reboot the VM. After it comes back up, take the time to install VMware Tools by clicking the VM menu in the console screen, going to Guest, then clicking "Install/Upgrade VMware Tools". This enables you to do useful things like pause the VM, as well as not have the mouse cursor be trapped in a GUI environment on the guest.
This should be enough to get you playing with VMware this weekend. Next week I'll work on getting some entries out that explain some of the backend things, and show some more useful features that are possible when you start putting vSphere in production environments.
Until then, good luck and have fun!

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
THis is a State vs Federal section question:
The question prior to the one I just asked you was: If a trial is being held in say Utah, they follow their state laws. Rules of evidence are usually Federal Rules of Evidence. But a California case wouldn't be precedent for a Utah case. States can lean on some federal law if it is on point since the Supremacy Clause means the federal law would take precedence over the state law.
Does this help?

The exterior of your home expresses its personality to everyone in the neighborhood and all passers-by. The outside of the house is the first thing people notice, and that first impression speaks loudly. Dress your house for success by choosing one of the 3 best types of siding.
Purpose of Siding
Exterior siding of your house has two main functions. First, it protects the structure from wind, rain, snow and ice, keeping out water. The second function is aesthetic. Siding adds character and dramatic appeal to a house. While there are many different kinds of siding that can be used, 3 best types of siding are wood, vinyl and cement fiber siding.
Wood Siding
The natural beauty and durability of wood makes it a traditional choice. Wood siding is a protective covering or veneer attached to the house exterior by screws, nails or adhesives. Numerous options are available, including:
· Cedar shingle siding provides a smooth appearance, and can be formed into patterns and intriguing designs
· A variation is cedar shake siding, with its rustic appeal
· Board and batten siding involves installing wide vertical boards spaced apart, with battens or narrower boards covering that space
· Tongue and groove siding is versatile, as it can be installed vertically, horizontally or even diagonally; various face types are available
· Drop channel siding in which each board slightly overlaps the adjoining board, forming a channel that provides a visual shadow
· Bevel siding is also called lap siding or clapboard, and uses boards thicker on one edge than the other
Main advantages to the use of wood siding include:
· The distinctive, warm and classic appearance it imparts to a house
· The actual resale value of a house can increase, as many appreciate the beautiful look provided by wood siding
· Environmentalists will appreciate that wood siding comes from a renewable resource
There are some negative factors to consider when choosing wood siding:
· Solid wood siding has to be stained or painted, adding considerably to the cost of installation
· Some wood siding has limited paint options; for example, cedar shakes cannot be painted as the paint would peel off
· Maintenance is a major drawback, as wood siding has to be repainted as often as every five years.
The average cost of wood siding varies from 3.50 to 6.00 per square foot to have a contractor supply and installed the siding for you.
Vinyl Siding
First on the market in the 1960s, vinyl siding has increased in popularity to become the main choice of siding in North America. There are almost 350 colors to choose from according to the Vinyl Siding Institute. Advantages of such house siding include:
· Ease of installation and available in home improvement stores
· Long lasting color with little maintenance requirements
· Lower cost than other forms of siding
Be sure to see look at the decorative trim packages for your garage door size and the types of window manufacturers, that will help complement your new vinyl siding installation.
There are disadvantages, however, including:
· A tendency to fading from exposure to the sun, although special coatings are available to resist fading
· Although water resistant, vinyl siding is not water proof and this can lead to mold problems
· Breaks, cracks and bends can result from extreme weather conditions
Vinyl siding can run you about 3.00 -5.00 per square foot to have a siding company supply and install it.
Cement Fiber Siding
Fiber cement siding is made from cement, cellulose fiber and sand, and is formed to resemble real wood. Such house siding:
· Looks good, with a natural solid appearance
· Is prepainted
· Require no maintenance, and re-painting only after 15-25 years
· Is fireproof
There are some disadvantages to this siding:
· Difficult to cut and handle
· Very heavy
· Silica dust from cutting is a hazard
Fiber cement siding is manufactured thru James Hardie and Certainteed. You can expect the prices to range between 4.50 – 7.00 for this type of siding.
Whichever of these 3 best types of siding you choose, you can be assured that your house will be protected from the weather. Once the practical decision is made, it is up to you to be creative in dressing your house. With all the options available, you will be sure to find a siding that perfectly expresses the personality of your home.

- Grateful to PM Narendra Modi for giving Nano a home at Sanand in Gujarat: Ratan TataInsurance Bill further delayed, informal talks onWith Narendra Modi in attendance, Rahul Gandhi spearheads Oppn protests in Lok SabhaNarendra Modi gives reforms agenda a push, gets Cabinet nod for FDI in defence, railway infrastructure
Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a doer, chairman emeritus of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata, on Wednesday said that he should be given more time as it was a huge task to turn the government machinery around.
Since 1984, there has been no majority government in the country and we have had coalition governments led by a minority party and it had become extremely difficult to hold on without disturbing the interest of the allies. Modi has a track record of a doer. What he has done for Gujarat is there to see, Tata said at an interaction organised by Ladies Study Group of Indian Chamber of Commerce in Kolkata. He said that the new government should be given some time to prove its mettle.
Commenting on the industrial climate in West Bengal, Tata, who was forced to shift the Nano plant from Singur in 2008, said that there was still no sign of industrial development in the state.
Driving down Rajarhat, one can now see unbelievable changes in terms of buildings, both commercial and residential, but it still looks like a countryside under development. And not that much sign of industrial development is seen too, he said.
The Singur incident had a negative impact on the company and the product lost its long term marketability, he said adding that When Nano was launched, it caused a global excitement that a car can be produced at $2,500. But shifting it from Singur to Gujarat, much of the excitement was lost and the competition got an opportunity to foul mouth our product.
Without commenting specifically on his reported investments in e-retalier Snapdeal he said that he intended to have personal investments in several areas of e-commerce and e-retail. We were used to ordering a product and wait for two months. E-retailing demolishes that thing.

I can't understand the voice recording to even set up voice mail. I wish that I could speak Spanish since the English version sounds like someone talking with a mouth full of marbles. I guess the recording that was made in India wasn't a good idea on AT&T part!
Comment by Tom Derrig — June 2, 2011
Every time I "press and hold one", the voicemail set up prompts me to "press one to hear how to set up your voicemail in english." I pressed one, and it gives some spanish crap. What the heck is going on here?

Comment by Mia Monterio — July 9, 2011
@Tyna Go into messaging. (where you text from) Go to the voicemail option, or options, or settings. From options or settings, there should be a option that says 'Voicemail' click it and you should be able to change your voicemail number.
