BOSTON - The final defendant was sentenced today in federal court for his role in the arson of the Macedonia Church of God in Christ, a predominantly African-American church, just hours after the election of President Barack Obama.
Thomas Gleason, 24, was sentenced by United States District Judge Michael A. Ponsor to 54 months in prison to be followed by three years of supervised release. Gleason was also ordered to pay over $1.7 million in restitution, including $123,570 to the Macedonia Church of God in Christ.
In June 2010, Gleason pleaded guilty to conspiracy against civil rights, damage or destruction of religious property, and use of fire to commit a felony. Gleason's co-conspirators, Benjamin Haskell and Michael Jacques, were previously sentenced to nine years in prison and 14 years in prison, respectively.
According to evidence presented in court, in the early morning hours of Nov. 5, 2008, within hours of President Obama being elected, Gleason and his co-conspirators burned down the Macedonia Church of God in Christ's newly-constructed building where religious services were to be held for its predominantly African-American congregation. The building was approximately 75 percent completed at the time of the fire, which destroyed nearly the entire structure, leaving only the metal superstructure and a small portion of the front corner intact.
"The parishioners of the Macedonia Church of God in Christ deserve to have some sense of closure to this matter," said U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz for the District of Massachusetts."I have the utmost respect for Bishop Robinson and his parishioners who have endured so much pain from these crimes, but have managed to maintain unwavering faith and dignity. I truly hope that justice has provided them with a sense of peace as they resume their prayers in their beautiful new church."
"Attempting to destroy a place of worship not only hurts those who congregate there, but affects the entire community," said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "The Justice Department will vigorously prosecute acts such as this one that interfere with a person's right to worship."
U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division; Guy Thomas, Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Boston Field Division; Richard DesLauriers, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division; Colonel Marian J. McGovern, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police; Hampden County District Attorney Mark Mastroianni; and Springfield Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet made the announcement today.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul H. Smyth and Kevin O'Regan of Ortiz's Springfield Office and Nicole Lee Ndumele, Trial Attorney in the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Election costs have risen meaning you will have to shell out more tax dollars.
Typically, the city has had to pay $200,000 for elections, and that is what they budgeted for this year. But now they just got word from the county that the costs have raised to $369,182.36.
"They said it was 200 thousand dollars," said Council Member David Loeb.
So that is what the city budgeted for, but because of new laws and unexpected costs the city is having to hand over more money than planned so voters can go out and vote on Destination Bayfront this November. Some council members say, adding Destination Bayfront to the November ballot is worth it.
"If Destination Bayfront wasn't on the ballot, the tax payers would still be paying that because the county is still having an election," said Loeb.
So here's why the county says the cost went up so much. This year they had to train poll workers on the new voter id law, the county says the cost to create the ballots went up, and the electronic voting machines need software updates. So because only three entities will be participating in this election, everyone has to get a bigger piece of the pie and pay more. The three entities participating in the November election are Nueces county, the City of Corpus Christi, and London ISD.
Supporters of Destination Bayfront says it's better to put the item up for election now than later. Because if we wait a year, supporters say the cost of the project will only go up.
"That cost of the increase of the project will be way more... Significantly more than the 100 thousand dollars increase on election costs," said Co-Organizer for Destination Bayfront Trey McCampbell.
At today's city council meeting the council approved to take the extra money needed for election costs out of their unreserve fund. The city says it's a fund that has about 36 million dollars in it. The city says it's a fund set aside to pay for unexpected costs like this election.

Houston Company Forecloses on $5M Valley Falls Home
Posted 5/20/2013 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
It didn't take long for the weirdness involving a west Little Rock estate that allegedly sold for $5.1 million to get weirder.
Last month, Crown Financial LLC of Houston filed foreclosure papers in Pulaski County Circuit Court against the owner of the mansion at 22 Valley Crest Court: La Marche Drive Investment LLC, led by Jeremy Carroll.
Crown Financial said Carroll borrowed $4.4 million at an eye-popping 17 percent interest rate on Jan. 26, 2012, to buy the home that was owned by Little Rock upscale homebuilder Rick Ferguson and his wife, Deanna.
The lawsuit didn't say when Carroll stopped making payments — or if he made any at all.
But the loan is in default now, and he owed $4,925,753 as of April 11.
We couldn't reach Carroll for comment.
The manor has remained under scrutiny since it was sold last year.
Real estate watchers called baloney when Ferguson filed the warranty deed that indicated he received $5.1 million for the nearly 15,000-SF home.
"Something quirky went on because [La Marche Drive Investment] immediately after buying it turned around and listed it for $4 million," Pulaski County Assessor's Chief Administrator Joe Thompson told us last month. "All along we thought there was something a bit strange, but we never figured out exactly what it was."
The home was listed for sale at $3.975 million but it was pulled from the market in January.
"We had nothing to do with Rick Ferguson," the listing agent, Randy Sumbles, told Whispers last week. "We just tried to sell it and couldn't sell it."
Sumbles wouldn't say if he had any potential buyers or even looky-loos while it was on the market.
Ferguson couldn't be reached for comment. But here's something interesting: Real estate records indicate that Ferguson holds a nearly $2.3 million second mortgage on the property.
Stay tuned.

After easing in November, rates of expansion improved for both new orders and production in December. Growth of new work received was the fastest in over five-and-a-half years, while the pace of increase in output neared October's 63-month high.
Broadly speaking, growth of both production and new orders was led by the U.S. and emerging Asian manufacturing sectors in December. Growth of new orders hit a five-year high in the U.S. In the emerging Asia markets, the performances of China, India, and Taiwan were especially robust. France and Brazil also recorded marked rates of expansion in output. There were signs that conditions were strengthening in the Japanese manufacturing sector, with rates of increase improving for both new work and production. In the UK, output and new orders rose at the quickest rates for 25 and 29 months respectively.
Growth of production in the euro area again lagged the global trend, despite hitting a 27-month high in December. There also remained marked disparities between the performances of the big-4 Eurozone economies. While the recoveries in Germany, France, and Italy continued, there were signs that the Spanish manufacturing sector remained firmly in recession territory.
December data pointed to an ongoing rebound in international trade volumes, with growth of new export orders the fastest for almost two years. The latest increase came from a broad base, with Australia, Brazil, Greece, Russia, and Spain the only nations for which December data were available to report reductions.
At 50.2 in December, the Global Manufacturing Employment Index signaled a slight increase in staffing levels for the first time since March 2008. The rise in worldwide manufacturing employment was mainly focused on the emerging markets (particularly China, Taiwan, and South Korea) and the U.S. Staffing levels fell in all of the West-European nations covered by the survey, but rates of decline were slower than the previous month.
The Global Manufacturing Input Prices Index rose sharply to a 15-month high of 58.5 in December, mainly as a result of higher commodity prices. Part of the increase in costs also reflected supply-side pressures, as highlighted by the most noticeable deterioration in average vendor performance since August 2006.
The sharpest rates of cost inflation were reported in Taiwan (68- month high), China (17-month high) and the U.S. Purchase prices rose at the fastest pace since September 2008 in the euro area and fell at a markedly reduced rate in Japan.
Commenting on the survey, David Hensley, Director of Global Economics Coordination at JPMorgan, said: "December PMI data indicate that the global manufacturing sector approaches 2010 on a positive footing. The headline PMI rose to a 44-month high, with rates of growth in production and new orders accelerating. Employment also rose slightly for the first time since March 2008. If a rebound in the manufacturing labor market can be maintained, this should aid with sustaining the broader recovery. Price pressures are rising, but mainly as a result of the improving economic climate."

New York 2011: Chevrolet Sonic's Z-Spec accessories add illusion of sportiness

As adults we ask children a ton of questions. Although questions can be a great way to find out about our kids, it's crucial that we don't just ask about what our kids know, but instead get to know our kids.
Of course all of us want our kids to know a lot, but getting to know our kids through the right questions allows us to follow their lead, tap into their intrinsic motivation, and help them pursue their passions.
Don't ask too many.
Too many questions can make our kids feel like the pressure is on. Especially when our children are just beginning to talk. We tend to play with their language like a newfound toy, asking them to name things, think of animal sounds, and rattle off shapes and colors.
But we often can find out more about our kids, and not just what they know, by simply listening and watching them. If we can be comfortable with quiet and fewer (and smarter) questions, we actually give children space to tell us or show us what they want to share.
We often think it's important to teach our kids by giving them the right answer, but knowing the right answer isn't as important as knowing how to find answers on their own. So instead of jumping in with an answer to "why is he doing that?" or "what is that for?" instead, you can respond with, "what do you think?". By doing this you help your child build creativity and problem-solving skills, and also teach children that even as kids they can find answers to big questions.

Game description: Lane Splitter
Imagine that you are late!!!! By all means you should be in time! But with the city traffic, it becomes your main reason to worry. Your task is to ride a powerful bike.

Gaming on the MacBook Air: Just Cause 2 and Dirt 2 via OnLive (Video)
The MacBook Air isn't billed as a gaming notebook, and most users who purchased the Air did so for the portability, but with OnLive gaming you can actually game on the MacBook Air. We've been testing out the OnLive gaming system recently and in addition to the Micro Console that connects to the HDTV you can game on Mac and PC without the need for a powerful graphics card and processor.
We put this to the test, using the MacBook Air to pick up where we left on Just Cause 2 and Dirt 2, both fairly demanding games which have the potential to look great. After teaching at the local university, I stole an office and plugged my MacBook Air into the speedy campus network to see how well the MacBook Air could handle these games.
What does it take to play Just Cause 2 or Dirt 2 on your notebook? For a Just Cause 2 experience that isn't painful you're looking at a 2.6GHz Dual Core Intel processor and a dedicated graphics card, oh and 10GB hard drive space and Windows since you can't play Just Cause 2 on the Mac. Dirt 2 also recommends a beefy processor, nice graphics card and plenty of hard drive space.
While our MacBook Air has a discrete graphics card, it's not up to snuff with gaming laptops. Let's see how it performs.
Gaming on the MacBook Air – Just Cause 2 and Dirt 2 Video Demo:
In the testing we've done, the gaming experience is pretty amazing, especially considering the fact that we are playing on a MacBook Air. A few things we like include features that make OnLive almost like the Kindle.
- Buy Once, Play Anywhere – Buy the game you can play it on your console, Mac or PC without extra fees.
- Synced Game Saves – Your game saves are available wherever you are, no more playing old missions on a new console.
- Free Samples – Most games come with at least 30 minutes of free gameplay, enough to test it out and see if it suits you.
- All Your Games With You – When you purchase your games, they travel with you wherever, but don't take up hard drive space.
But, OnLive isn't perfect. You do need a fast internet connection, and if you are playing on your Mac or PC a Wired connection is recommended. This means you won't be playing while in flight or even at your local coffee shop. It's a small sacrifice for bringing gaming on the go with a computer like the MacBook Air.
Stay tuned for our full review of the OnLive Gaming Service and the OnLive Micro Console.

I am writing to congratulate you on your June 17 editorial, "Breaking Up Cartels" (Page 10A). My husband and I found its focus on global cartels - "in order to allow competitive markets to work better" - to be timely and pertinent to a situation that is hurting dairy producers across the United States.
Dairy farmers are now faced with an entirely new set of government-imposed problems in the form of a GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) treaty that was negotiated by U.S. trade officials who are ignorant of life on a dairy farm and the intricacies of the dairy market.
Your editorial points out a serious problem for some businesses: price- fixing schemes that are encouraged by governments. For those of us involved in dairy production and the marketing of our dairy products, what concerns us most is that the Uruguay Round-GATT agreement bypassed the issue of marketing boards and state trading companies. I am referring specifically to the New Zealand Dairy Board.
New Zealand's dairy board is engaging in monopolistic market practices. Please note that this is not just the opinion of one dairy farm wife from New York. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agriculture Service, in its March 1994 publication, "Dairy: World Markets and Trade," confirms my assertions.
The Agriculture Department's report says the New Zealand Dairy Board, as a . . . statutory export monopoly, has the advantage of sole sourcing (and pricing) rights for New Zealand dairy products destined for export markets." The report also affirms that "while the Uruguay/GATT round bypassed the issue of marketing boards and state trading companies, the New Zealand Dairy Board remains an unreformed and anti-competitive entity."
Stated simply, the practices of New Zealand's Dairy Board make Leona Helmsley look like Mother Teresa. And what is the U.S. government doing about the New Zealand cartel's less-than-charitable practices? It is rewarding the dairy board under the GATT by giving New Zealand an additional 5,100 metric tons of cheddar cheese for processing.
In a recent meeting with high-ranking Agriculture Department officials in Washington, I complained about the New Zealand Dairy Board's practices. I asked one department official, who proudly informed me that he had been instrumental in negotiating the U.S. agricultural portions of the Uruguay Round, what could be done to curb the market rigging practices of New Zealand's Dairy Board. His answer was rather simple: "Nothing, because we (the Clinton administration) don't want to upset New Zealand."
Since my government doesn't want to upset New Zealanders, it has managed to upset me, countless dairy producers across the United States and members of my organization, Women Involved in Farm Economics. Considering all that, I would like to pose a series of questions to the U.S. Trade Representative.
Why does our government want to destroy a vital U.S. food-producing industry that provides essential, wholesome products to countless families every day of the year? Why does our government want to become totally dependent upon dairy imports? What government training program will be created, costing U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars, to retrain displaced U.S. farmers and their families? What alternative will be available to farmers who don't want to leave the rural environment into which they were born, or the farm upon which their families have toiled for generations?
Would it not be wiser to keep farmers doing what they do best - producing food and fiber and paying their taxes - rather than joining the welfare lines? Our trade negotiating officials - the Clinton GATT Giveaway Gang - may be FOBs (Friends of Bill) and FONZs (Friends of New Zealand) but I don't think they are Friends of American Agriculture.

Linda Chavez's undocumented housemate wasn't the real reason the Left ate her for dinner, but let's look at the case a moment. Cheering her departure, the New York Times cites the supposed crime that the woman was not receiving the minimum wage for the odd jobs she did around the house. The idea here is that no one should be allowed to work without obeying the government and without contributing to public coffers.
But the Times advances a false choice. Because the woman was in the country illegally she couldn't have been employed legally. The only choice would have been to turn her out onto the street or call the INS. Maybe the Times wants to round up all illegals, but I don't recall them making that point during the Florida election debacle, when Haitian and other illegals cast many votes for Gore.
And even if she were legal, would Linda have kept the woman on board if she had to pay her regulation wages and take out Social Security? Not likely. Therein lies a case against minimum wage laws: when enforced, they dis-employ people who would otherwise be employed. That is precisely why the unions like minimum wages so much: they shrink the available job pool and diminish competition.
Another sector of the radical Left believes that immigrants need not bother to get work. Rather, they should just go on the dole, join pressure groups, and vote for the Democrats. They are supposed to be political pawns, not make themselves beholden to the private household charity of Republican pundits!
Now to the issue of "diversity." Think for a moment what would happen if the Republicans attacked a Clinton appointee, a Hispanic woman who acted charitably toward a refugee from Guatemala. The Republicans would have been accused of the basest form of racism, straining a gnat to destroy an uppity double minority.
Though the Left heralds a policy of diversity now and forever, Chavez's status made no difference. The lead spokesman for a group called the National Council of La Raza (which means "The Race") explains that Chavez doesn't count as a member.
"The point of having a diverse Cabinet is to have someone who represents the views of that community," she says, meaning the collective views of that race as defined by its official leadership. "But Chavez has made a career of saying, 'I'm opposed to what most Latinos think and want.'"
And so the grand council of The Race sought to destroy her, not because she is against Hispanics but because she believes no group should get special treatment under the law-a view not held by the approved Hispanic leadership, which, as Linda has shown in her writings, has been drafted into accepting victim status as a means of gaining political power.
The real meaning of diversity is thus out of the bag: political homogeneity. If you are black, female, gay, or anything else, but hold the wrong political views, you can count on the Left to hate you as much as it hates conservative straight white males. When the Left demands diversity, it is demanding not women and minorities as such, but more leftism, more government, more politics by pressure group.
If the appointee is a white male, the Left attacks him for his blindness to the needs of women and minorities. If it is a woman or minority, attack on grounds that the person in question doesn't reflect the views of the "community." You see what this does? It poisons the well for any sensible nominee for any post.
Keep in mind, too, that these are the same standards the Left wants to use in judging whom you hire, fire, and interact with in every other area of life. For that reason, much of the opposition to Chavez's appointment masks a totalitarian agenda.
In any case, the controversy was only superficially about whether Chavez hired an illegal immigrant to work in her house or was just giving gifts independent of any services provided. It was just an excuse to shoot down a nominee hated for her mostly sensible views on politics.
Chavez is against affirmative action, skeptical of the welfare state, doubtful about the agendas of major leftist lobbying groups, solidly against tax-funded bilingualism, and generally adheres to a range of positions that destructionist special interests find intolerable.
By tradition, the head of the Department of Labor is not supposed to be independently minded. He is supposed to be a captive of the labor unions and do their bidding, which includes leading stupid crusades for a higher minimum wage and against teen labor, unreported domestic work, failure to adhere to every labor regulation, and anything else that may pop up. Even under Republican administrations, this has been the case.
As the New York Times further says, "There are plenty of solid Republicans who have good relations with organized labor and are sensitive to the concerns of their wage-earning constituents. A good appointment would reassure citizens that the Department of Labor will not be unfair to those who do the nation's work."
Chavez is in print opposing a whole range of labor-union demands for more government controls. She also seems to have at least a modicum of understanding that too much government harms, not helps, working people. Her ratification would have meant that for the first time in 97 years, the department would have been headed by someone not beholden to labor unions. And so opposition to her was inevitable.
The Labor Department itself was created in a fit of central-planning hysteria during the Progressive Era. What a time! Congress and the president also gave us the income tax and all its pomps, the Federal Reserve, the FTC, anti-trust persecutions, World War I, war socialism, and the direct election of Senatorsu2014all of which conspired to expand government power and curb our traditional freedoms.
The alleged idea behind the Labor Department's creation was: "to foster, promote, and develop the welfare of the wage earners of the United States, to improve their working conditions, and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment." But it has never done that. It has done the opposite. We owe the improvement of working conditions and worker prosperity to the free market and private capital investment, not government planning.
It was during the New Deal that the Labor Department became truly menacing. It was a complete captive of FDR's political machine, and a tool for prolonging the depression by keeping wages high when they most needed to fall. Union bosses benefitted from its interventions and regimentation of the labor market, but everyone else suffered as job opportunities shriveled and unemployment stayed high. In FDR's war, the department became positively Soviet-like. No wonder US ally Stalin was able to plant so many spies in the Labor Department.
It's long past time for the model to be tossed out. If we had the kinds of changes we really need, the entire city block taken up by this monstrous department's headquarters would be privatized. Maybe it could be a private art museum. Or condos. How about a huge fast-food court?
Working people don't need a bureaucracy in Washington to manage their affairs. But so long as one exists, it will be used to control people. If you think people shouldn't be controlled, it's better to get rid of the agency than to attempt to take it over. If the Republican Congress and presidency want to pay back the Left for their victory over Chavez, they will defund the entire Department of Labor to make sure no labor-union captive ever heads it again.

If you're visiting Asheville (or if you live in the area) one of the things I highly, highly recommend you do between the end of April and beginning of May is visit the Azalea Gardens at The Biltmore Estate. They are exquisite. I wish I could share the fragrance with you along with these photos.
If you arrive early (as in, right when the Estate opens) and park down near the gardens you'll probably be lucky enough (especially on a weekday) to have your own private sanctuary for a good half an hour before more guests head your way. Along with the birds, bees, and bunnies, that is!
We have had so much rain (and thunderstorms, and even a tornado warning!) this week, so the flowers were still pretty wet the morning I visited.
It makes for a nice floral carpet, though, no?
I had such a relaxing time wandering down the path, absorbing all the color. The kids were in school so it really was quiet (except for the aforementioned birds). However, I have taken the kids on this same walk before and it's great exercise for them, too!
Loved the morning sunshine (around 9:30am)…
…and the petals on the rocks.
I tried to take some wide shots to really give you an idea of the scope of these gardens…
…love, love, loved this misty grove near the Bass Pond.
Of course, there's plenty to see when the flowers aren't in bloom, too. It's such a gorgeous place!
Last photo of the morning – I had to pull over to the side of the road for this shot when I saw that mama and papa goose were out & about with their babies. (Thanks to a telephoto lens, I wasn't really that close to them; I know to stay away from hissing geese even after trying to explain myself.)
PS. If you're a Biltmore bride, I think the Azalea Gardens (especially when in bloom) would make an excellent location for your bridal portraits!

Fashionable fingertips
Caela Bailey knows good art. The Seattle-based chanteuse, dancer and all around-entertainer, has been been performing and touring with her family's vaudeville troupe, The Royal Famille DuCaniveaux, since she was 2. That's why Bailey respects her nail artist, Jan Bailey (no relation) at Shanti Salon, as just that: an artist.
"I think my nails say that I pay attention to detail. I grab at any and every opportunity to express myself," says Caela, who gets acrylic nail enhancements with a variety of designs put on top of her real nails. Sometimes, there's even tiny jewels or gold studs.
Looking through Caela's Instagram feed, @misscaela206, one would find many portraits of her fingertips: perfectly uniform "stiletto nails" in one, a menagerie of wild colors, shapes, patterns and adornments in another.
"Ten new pieces of original art now showing on my hands," the caption reads.
In recent years, nails have become a trendy fashion canvas, says Seattle style expert, Alix Rose (read her blog at: www.alixrose.com). It gives ladies a chance to have a little fun without the commitment of hair dye or a tattoo.
Nude nails were popular on the spring runways of heavyweights such as Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana. But designers including Nicole Miller and Vivienne Westwood showed off their latest collections with models sporting two-tone manicures and metallic varnishes.
"Getting your nails done isn't just for an occasion anymore, it's become part of the routine," says Rose, who visits the salon every two weeks.
However, one need not visit the salon to get the look. Rose recommends getting in some "me" time by investing in a bottle of OPI for their variety of colors and funny names ("Blushingham Palace," "Pink-ing of You" "Eiffel for this Color" "Ladies and Magenta-Men" "Melon of Troy" etc.)
Indeed, nails definitely add a touch of glamour and femininity that can be really intriguing on a woman.
"I think the only misconception that I get because of [my long nails] is that I don't work or use my hands." Caela says. "Sometimes I laugh at myself when I am working in the garden with these bad boys."
There's lots of places to get your nails "did" on the Eastside. Here are a few:

Newmont Mining Corp (NYSE:NEM)
A gold producer, engaged in the exploration for and acquisition of gold properties. The Company has operations in the United States, Australia, Peru, Indonesia, Canada, Bolivia, New Zealand, Ghana and Mexico.
Like many of the miners Newmont was lagging the long term bull market in gold but recently this has changed.
Back in April the company linked its dividend directly to the price of gold and since then NEM has had a very close correlation to the price of gold. Gold will continue to rise due to expanding government debt and out of control fiat money creation and Newmont will rise with it.

237. Clay Smith
Pierre "Pete" Bertrand raced in Western Kansas in the 1920s. When he moved west, he found a hotbed of racing near Depression era Long Beach. A local kid with a thick mop of red hair hung around the shop, fascinated by the hundreds of precision pieces required to construct the racing engine puzzle. Bertrand took the kid under his wing, and, over a decade, taught Clay Smith everything he knew about performance engines. In 1942, when Bertrand died of pneumonia, Smith bought Bertrand's company, one of the first performance racing parts companies in the country.
Clay Smith
On 16 May 1937, Smith teamed up with Bill Stroppe, creator of the Stroppe & Sackett Special, trying to set speed records at Muroc Dry Lake, north of L.A. In 1947, the pair teamed to win a regatta with Art Hall's hydroplane and a Ford straight-6 engine. Clay had to modify the oil pressure system and fix a vibration problem to adapt the Ford for marine application. That caught Ford's attention.
without the cigar
Smith continued to construct his own engines, rebuilding Offys and Drakes, and selling performance parts. He was best known for hand crafting his own camshafts, sometimes finishing each cam lode individually to tune it to a particular engine. He also ported and polished heads and built fuel pumps and distributors. Smith relied on word of mouth instead of advertising, but did create a trademark for his "Mr Horsepower" products, a snarling, cigar chomping red headed woodpecker on steroids. The caricature of Smith is still used on Clay Smith Engineering products. To establish his products, Smith spent more time racing.
In 1950, Stroppe and Smith prepared Johnny Mantz' Lincoln for the first Carrera Panamericana, the Mexican road race. The nearly qwo-thousand-mile marathon was intended to advertise the newly paved Mexican highway system, but, for many stretches, it was difficult to tell the difference between the dirt road and endless rural terrain. Winding stretches through the mountains had hairpin curves and no guardrails. Smith returned the next year, as co-driver with Troy Ruttman, who led for part of the race. The following year, Ruttman and Smith teamed to win the Indianapolis 500.
Lincoln Race Car
In 1952, Smith and Stroppe met with Benson Ford and created a Lincoln racing team for the Carrera Panamericana. The pair drove a Lincoln to Bonneville, where they stayed up all night rebuilding the engine, including a valve job. The next day, they cruised the ten-mile circle at 118 mph. The first team also included drivers Chuck Stevenson, Jack McGrath, Mickey Thompson and Manny Ayulo, and mechanic Chuck Daigh. John Holman drove the parts truck over each leg of the race the night before the racers did, to stay ahead of them. After the '52 race, Holman went to work for Smith at his Long Beach shop.
The Mexican race team became the model for Ford racing, and was tremendously successful. Against competition that included Mercedes, Ferrari and Lancia, Lincolns finished 1st through 4th in '52 and '53. Both years, Stevenson was the winning driver, with Smith his co-pilot. The next year, Ray Crawford took the win, followed by Walt Faulkner.
Smith's pecker
1954 was the last year for la Carrera Panamericana. Like the Vanderbilt Cup, crowds became uncontrollable for the Mexican road race. In five races, there were twenty-six fatalities, mostly spectators. When Smith was killed by Rodger Ward at DuQuoin in September, he was doing what he loved. He'd built his own business over a dozen years and every racer in America knew about his cams and engines. He'd won in every American racing series.
In his autobiography "Best Damn Garage in Town," Smokey Yunick described watching Smith work. "It was a treat to watch one of our peers show you how it should be done, so perfectly and with seemingly effortless execution. Clay Smith was a genius, probably the greatest… racing mechanic in the world at the time. But none of his ability impressed me as much as his helping his competitors with advice, and sometimes materials and tools. I'd watch him at one am, knowing he was as tired as I was… he still had time for anyone who asked him for help. He did this in boats, Indy cars, midgets and stock cars."

- Nice but a bit big... Review by Deb
But it was perfect on the floor tilting up towards me while reading in the early morning before my car pool arrives. it's my first sad lamp and I found it a bit intense at the start, so I really liked how it had a dimable switch. I started it off at about 50% and increased it every day until I was used to the full intensity after a week. Just another week later I was already feeling so much better and energized! Anyone else I've talked to with a therapy lamp says theirs do not dim, so I know I made the right choice! (Posted on 6/10/11)

You would think that my cancer assassin wig is influenced by Louise Brooks or Pulp Fiction's, Mia Wallace—it's not—but I say it is. It's Erika. It was Erika's haircut that made her look like an aging Lolita—19—she already looked like Isabella Rossellini before she even looked like herself in Death Becomes Her three-years later. Erika had snow-white skin and I loved the way her collarbone was displayed perfectly in her strapless white dress with the aurora borealis rhinestones that she wore for an East L.A. party in 1989. Her finely drawn collarbone perfectly framed the fake diamond necklace she wore, which twinkled in my six-year-old's eyes.
Watching her dress was always my favorite memory of her. She dressed in my room while Kim Carne's Bettie Davis Eyes played on her portable AM/FM cassette player. I would help her zip up the part of the dress that a woman can never reached, I carefully studied her as she looked at her face in the mirror closet. Her eyes looked like golden holograms with sparks of green. Watching Erika apply her red lipstick was my favorite part. When the light shined her lips, it would look as if her red lips softly kissed gold dust. Her make up was done.
I remember jumping up and down the bed, as she'd slide the closet mirror and ask me which dress I wanted to wear. After I rejected the long-sleeved purple and white chiffon dress that made me itch, and the blue monstrosity of a sailor dress, I chose my red and white dress with tulle that gave a prismatic effect. The matching sash would match her lips and the iridescent tulle, her eyes. She picked out my matching ankle ruffled socks while she looked for her stockings in our shabby cheap dresser drawer. It was a pair of black fishnet stockings. I asked her why she wasn't putting on a pair of white stockings in my broken Spanish. She told me that matching head-to-toe isn't always a good thing as she slipped on her red pumps just like Cinderella.
The East L.A. wedding reception was held in a small park auditorium but I didn't know any of the kids there. The bass coming from the DJ's speakers were hurting my ears so I would spend most of the time sitting on Erika's lap. I loved it when she hugged me and her hair would get in my face. She started rocking me to sleep because she knew I was bored and tired, but it didn't stop her from bumping my head on the edge of the table as she would reach for her beer.
She was shaped like her favorite Giorgio Beverly Hills perfume bottle (she smelled like it too) and I think that's why all boys wanted to dance with her. Especially, when the DJ miraculous played English music to appease all the teenagers and young adults. I think the DJ knew Erika's favorite song was Bette Davis Eyes because as soon as she heard the bass vibrate off the disco ball light, she swayed onto the dance floor. All the boys followed her lead onto the dance floor forming a circle around her. She shined like a music video and you would think she really was the dancing shadow behind Kim Carnes. She'd tease the boys and unease them and even made some pros blush while she pretended to slap them. When the song was over, she threw them all like they were dice, it was a glamorous image for a sleepy six-year-old.
