Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP) is in the bargain bin again, and for familiar reasons. Barron's penned another negative article on the partnership last week, sending shares down by nearly 4% Monday and adding to what has already been a difficult last couple of months.
Just before the negative article from Barron's, management had to issue 6.9 million additional shares to pay off commercial paper. Barron's article was awfully well-timed as it hit the stock when it was down
But issuance of Kinder Morgan Energy units is indeed nothing new. This has happened at least once a year for the last five years. The transaction amount was for about $560 million -- not too big for a company whose market capitalization is $30 billion to $40 billion.
As for the Barron's article, I could see little difference between the concerns in this article and that of the past ones which Barron's has written on Kinder Morgan. The Barron's article even featured the same market commentator as it did before, Hedgeye's Kevin Kaiser.
Kinder Morgan responded much the same way it did to the previous negative article from Barron's. As its biggest concern, Barron's cited lack of "maintenance capital expenditures" and an abundance of "growth cap expenditures" despite lackluster growth in cash flow. The article implied that Kinder Morgan was understating maintenance capex and overstating growth capital expenditures in order to maximize its reported distributable cash flow, or DCF.
Distributable cash flow is the most meaningful way of measuring a partnership's ability to pay distributions. Management's response to Barron's claims (PDF) was to point out that most pipeline maintenance gets classed as operational expenses and not maintenance-related capital expenditures.
Another one of Barron's' concerns was the impact on Kinder Morgan Energy's future DCF when the partnership's CO2-injection oil fields begin to decline. The article argued that because a good chunk of the partnership's DCF -- about 20% -- comes from the partnership's CO2-aided oil production, it could be forced to cut distributions when production here begins to decline.
But management estimates are that the partnership's oil fields will not see production decline until 2021. To put things into perspective, the decline from these assets will only be $200 million in 2021, vs. an entity which today altogether generates $4.4 billion in DCF. That should generate "substantially greater" DCF by 2020.
Fundamentals and Valuation
With $14 billion in ongoing projects, management expects 5% DCF growth from Kinder Morgan Energy units and about 8% DCF growth in the lower-yielding Kinder Morgan (KMI) this year. Although KMI has more growth, at just below 14x DCF partnership units trade at a higher yield and a better valuation. I believe that the partnership units are the better deal right now.
There are downsides to owning KMP -- Kinder Morgan Energy -- as opposed to KMI. Because KMI has incentive distribution rights over KMP, and also benefits first from any accretive deals, many regard KMI as the safer bet. KMP's distribution coverage ratio is, in the words of Barron's, "razor thin" at just 1x. KMP also occasionally raises equity, too. (See this PDF presentation, as well, which details metrics for all of the Kinder Morgan businesses.)
A solid 5% cash flow growth rate, coupled with high cash flow visibility from long-lived assets, and finally a distribution yield now at 7.15%, makes it a good time to add units of Kinder Morgan Energy. This company has the most extensive pipeline network across the continent, and is in a market with rather high barriers to entry. Buying here will lock in a very healthy yield, growth well above inflation, and the opportunity for some nice capital gains.
Kinder Morgan Energy units are at a low not seen since summer of 2012. Negativity is swirling around the stock despite its good fundamentals. It is precisely this which makes now a fine time to buy.

Re: swept back spreaders without backstays
My Santana 525 has a 4/5 fractinal rig with swept spreaders (seems to be 20-22 degrees), a wire backstay at the masthead and wire/rope running backs off handers at the headstay level. I use the running backs exclusively and forget the backstay is even there except in a big blow. I've never seen any evidence that my rig has been over-stressed (and I check my chainplates, standing rigging, etc. pretty often.) I'm considering doing almost exactly what you are. I want to short the jib to a 105 on a furler and make up the sail area in a fathead full batten main with two reefs. (I also want to glass in a retractable sprit and add a masthead A-Sail but that's down the road) Now...this is not a set and forget rig. You need to be more mindful of conditions and reef earlier not later too keep her on her feet. For those that think deleting the back stay was bad enough without adding more mainsail area...I saw a system on a boat once...with dual running backs (twin masthead and twin headstay heighth runners). the mast head and lower runners are connected by an upper "loop" of wire with a pulley which is attached to a 2:1 / 6:1 tackle in the stern quarters. It is supposed to both provide maisail flattening at the masthead AND keep the forestay taut with one control line. Switching runners back and forth is more line to pull each tack but I got used to it pretty quickly. I'm not going to turn this into a 9kt surfing machine but I think the changes will cause the boat to make speed more efficiently in light to mid-range air and, with sufficient mainsail shape control, make it much more tune-able to changing conditions.
|The whip and synthetic backstay is the choice of most. Of course with 20 degree swept spreaders you can sail most of the time just fine. But when you are running deep and you stuff a wave and the hull wants to stop and the rig doesn't or you jibe with a liitle too much gusto you stand a good chance of the rig going over the front. Raking the rig aft will better your clearance, other issues aside. You can also cut some of the roach off and clear just fine. The backstay is there to both flatten the main and to tension the headstay which will flatten the jib entry as well as make it furl better. If you don't care about these performance issues then cutting the roach should not be an issue.
|if you don't typically single-hand, running backstays would solve the problem
Clarification to the post implying I need new spreaders/chainplates: my Telstar 28 trimaran already has 20 degree swept back spreaders and very robust chainplates that also support a permanent A-frame that supports the mast during raising and lowering. The A-frame also supports the raised mast similar to B&G rig struts used by Hunter sailboats.
In about a month or so I will report on how not using the backstay at all works out in practice for Telstar 28, and if I feel I need to add a temporary lightweight backstay for some conditions (with or without a whip). In typical light to moderate airs that we sail in I have no concerns, but I can envision some conditions where this might become an obvious need (although I hope not).
Replacing the wire backstay with a dyneema w/whip must be less work than..
1)alter/replace the spreaders
2)mount new chainplates for the shrouds
3)make new shrouds
whip solution
I did try this. It didn't work because metal backstay was too heavy, and I realized I would have to change to non-metal backstay. It is a backup, but I would rather not have to fool with that at all if possible. Thanks for inputs.

swept back spreaders without backstays
I am interested in any information or opinions on swept back spreader angles for masts without any backstays (standing or sliding) to accommodate big roach mainsails. Several new boats with no backstays are: (1) the new Beneteau First 30 with a reported spreader angle of 25 deg.; (2), the new Alerion 33 looks like it has about 25 deg. spreaders from drawings/pictures; (3) the new e33 is reported by Sailing to have 30 deg. spreaders. These boats have carbon fiber masts which also helps.
The boat I have is a Telstar 28 trimaran with a big roach main with full length battens that hangs up on a fixed backstay (absolutely terrible in light air, and extremely annoying in heavier air requiring mainsheet loosening/tightening on every tack). A very knowledgeable offshore sailor, with quite a bit of trimaran experience as well, thinks that the 20 deg. swept back spreaders on the Telstar 28 will be fine without using the backstay. An advantage of the Telstar is that in addition to a very robust aluminum mast, it also has two permanent A-frames (going fore and aft for single-handed mast lowering), that also provides strong support for the lower part of the mast up to about 8' off the deck. This is somewhat similar to the Hunter sailboats that all have B&R rigs with no backstay (they have 30 degree swept back spreaders and similar, but less robust, lower mast fixed support struts).
Any opinions on, or experience with, swept back spreaders without backstays would be appreciated.

It's a problem every weed smoker faces at some point throughout their life: Smoking weed at home without getting caught. It's no simple task.
I've smoked weed long enough to know how to get away with doing so in just about any situation short of air travel, so I've decided to share my tips on successfully getting away with it at home.
Having never been caught smoking weed – by neither law enforcement nor parental authorities – I'd say I'm a reliable authority on the subject of smoking weed at home. It has nothing to do with luck; I've never been caught smoking weed because I follow a very rigid set of guidelines whenever I get high which guarantee I won't be caught.
Also, I'm white. So that helps.
You are very lucky. You are about to read a blog post. The first in a line of a theme of blog posts. Blog posts that will collectively contain every bit of relevant information with regard to getting away with all the fun shit us youngin's love to do.
If you follow what I say, you will be able to smoke weed at home without getting caught by your parents. Having said that, nothing is foolproof. Don't be a fool. Don't take shortcuts.
∴ ∴ ∴
*Update (12/7/2015): As 2016 approaches, I'm stricken with the sudden realization that this article is about to be FIVE FUCKING YEARS OLD! Which I understand is probably not too monumental of an anniversary for you, but for me… it's a total mind-fuck. Like… you don't know how ancient that makes me feel.
Anyway, I digress. The reason I'm inserting this little aside right here is because, despite the fact this article has consistently received more traffic than anything I've written since, it's been quite a while since someone has commented on it. I figure it's a psychological thing… people are just less inclined to comment on old shit. Having said that, and this astounds me, the number of views this article gets has literally increased every single month since it was published.
My point being, I'd love to see some new comments on this article, as I know you little weed smoking hoodlums are reading it. I mean, if you have nothing to say, don't force it for the sake of my ego; but don't remain silent just because this shit's old as balls. I know at least some of you mofos have your own methods for getting away with smoking weed at home – don't be afraid to share your expertise with your fellow stoner brethren!

Ladies I need some help !
I've had a great pregnancy so far, birth should go smoothly and I thought that the next step would be to enjoy my baby.
I want to babywear, BF and be as gentle as possible with DD but now I'm really confused.
DP is really not supporting babywearing.
He said that he wouldn't stop me from trying but that it looks like a bad idea to him. He thinks that's how you create needy and demanding kids. He's not into what he calls "hippy education fades" and for him it's just that.
NB: DP is an amazing man, please don't criticize him .
Now, his best friend is visiting for a few days with her 10 months old and I'm freaking out.
The baby is very clingy, she cries when you put her down, screams when the mom leaves the room, she hates to eat...
DP told me today that he really really was not in favour of babywearing because he thinks that it will turn our baby into a spoiled demanding manipulative brat.
For him CIO is the way to go because that's the way we were brought up. Since we're not screwed, our kids should do just fine, right ?
I disagree but I have no experience to back up what I think. He has a toddler already so he's been there before.
His friend is not helping either.
She said that she's weaning her baby because their relationship is too symbiotic.She also stopped babywearing for that reason.
One of her friends even skipped BF altogether just to avoid the symbiotic thing. It doesn't make sense to me.
Her baby is still needy and clingy, and she blames the AP stuff she did at the beginning.
DP doesn't want a demanding child. Neither do I ! But for me an infant is not manipulative.
I'm just questioning everything I thought I knew.
If I BF on demand, wear the baby, don't CIO etc and DD is demanding, fussy, needy or whatever, I fear DP would say it's my fault and ask me to just stop and start CIO and sleep training.
I know this post is a bit messy but I'm so confused.... i almost dread the arrival of my first child now.
Any input, advice or thought would be really appreciated.
A freaked out future mama
First baby, right? :)
FWIW, my dh would have said a lot of those things...I did what I thought right (or what felt right to me), and with time, I realized, I really didn't need him to be backup Mom. I am the Mom, I carried the baby for 9 months, my maternal line going back to pre-human ancestors carried and cared for their babies...meaning we evolved to do so. If at some point, the whatever hominid ancestor mama had decided to put down her baby so he wouldn't be so clingy, then that baby most likely wouldn't have survived. Over time, our society has become about the family consisting of couples ... where there is little dependence on the extended family and Dad more often plays the role of backup Mom, but if you look at other societies, inexperienced Moms don't ask their hubbies what they should do, they ask their Moms or Aunts or other experienced females that they trust...instead of re-inventing child rearing for every family. Meaning in that regard, you have the disadvantage of asking a man's opinion, instead of another experienced Mom who you trust. Men didn't evolve to necessarily carry those clingy babies around...they evolved to worry about the big picture of hunting and protecting their families....they want to raise strong kids... My dh likes to say that the father is more interested in the child's character and the mother is more interested in the physical wellbeing. I like to tell dh that the child needs to survive to have a character.
So, in a nutshell, don't worry about whatever theory your dh espouses. You will do what you think is right, and your dh will do what he thinks is right...and you don't both have to do the same thing. I ended up carrying the kids a lot more than my dh. That's maybe not true for all Moms/Dads, but I bet it's true for most. And you may feel differently about things too ... you may carry the baby more OR less than you would've thought. And by the way, most babies are clingy when they're 10 months old, that's the height of stranger anxiety. And once you have 2 kids, you realize that what you do as a parent has little to do with the kid's characters...some are more fussy, some are less...some are more independent, some are less.
yes to everything lmkl said.
I have two sons who were raised in exactly the same way. They were both extended breast fed, co-slept, and worn....except the second didn't need to be worn unless we were going somewhere because he was not into all that sweaty cuddling. lol as babies ds1 was very "clingy" and ds2 was very independent (these days they are both independent emotionally healthy young men and about the most honest, straight forward, and self confident little humans you'd ever like to meet)..
and yeah their dad was also worried i'd spoil or ruin them. I always said, babies can't be manipulative, they can only cry to get what they need, they lack the ability to have meaningless wants, they lack the ability to deceive, that comes later....and seems to be mostly a learned trait. what i am doing is teaching my son that communication and trust are worthwhile by paying attention to his communication attempts and being somebody he can trust.
I wasn't willing to follow a parenting model that if it had been practiced on me would have probably left me severely emotionally damaged so i just ignored him. though he did worry that i'd make his son's effeminate, whiney, or manipulative...when it came right down to it he came from a culture that saw mom work as woman's work so he didn't actually get involved in newborn care enough for it to be a concern...and by the time the baby was there he was less able to push cio with a real baby when his wife was quoting health statistics etc to him. everything turned out fine and by the end of our marriage he because a real supporter of attatchment parenting. he's even thanked me for being such a good mom many times since we divorced
obviously this isn't always how it's going to work out, but in my experience, at least here in the midwest it is often true. men will verbalize but they don't tend to actually interfere to hard with what they see as mother/woman work
Maybe his friend's baby is crying and clingy because she's weaning it.
Honestly, I've pondered whether some of the attachment parenting techniques would lead to a clingy, dependent baby. But in El Salvador where I live (moved here from the US 5 years ago), a lot of AP techniques are normal and what everyone does. Strollers are very uncommon. Not many people use slings and wraps, but they do carry their babies and have them in physical contact with them all the time. Extended breastfeeding is very common, too. And bedsharing is also the norm. And for as long as I've lived here I have been amazed at how independent children are compared with in the US. And the babies seem to cry less than babies I've known in the States. And I'm not the only one who notices this. It's something I regularly hear people visiting from the US comment on.
Excited, anxious and proud to be pregnant for the first time! My partner and I can't wait to meet the little boy sometime around Sept 20th.
While plenty of people "turn out okay" with mainstream parenting, i've seen a lot of people not turn out okay, at least emotionally. I think we all would thrive more if our needs had been treated gently and with the utmost care. Also, almost every baby has periods of fussiness, especially in the evenings during the first few months. This has nothing to do with AP or any other type of parenting. To expect your child to never cry just because of your parenting style is ridiculous and your partner should be told that. Please dont feel like you have to make your partner happy with how you mother your baby. As long as your baby is loved and cared for that is all that matters.
Welcome to being a mom! Everyone has an opinion on how to do things and they will not hesitate in sharing it. It'll get to you at first and you'll question yourself but after a while you'll learn to tune out people because honestly no one has the energy to listen to everyone's opinion.
I could blame baby-wearing on DD being too clingy the first few months but honestly, the day after she was born, she refused to sleep alone and would scream to be held while all the other babies around me slept peacefully in their bassinets. There is no way anything I did made her that way in her second day of life!
I breastfed on demand in the beginning and then put her on a semi schedule after 6 months for both our sanity. We also baby-wore exclusively until 6 months and then I bought a stroller. Follow your gut. I was becoming unhappy and stressed out with both around the same time. So I tried alternatives and she ended up being happier. Having her breastfed on schedule actually calmed her down and improved her attention span (she stopped being distracted all the time by the fact that my boob was there). I'm not saying everyone should be doing this, it's just evaluate the situation and then make a decision. Not make a decision because you are subscribing to a method.
I feel it is best to educate yourself on a few methods and then pick and choose the ideas that appeal to your character, to your baby's character and most of all, that feel right to you. Because if you're not convinced to your core, there will eventually be someone who disagrees and makes you doubt yourself.
For me I used a combination of AP and RIE. From AP, I learned about babywearing, breastfeeding, co-sleeping, not letting baby cry his heart out and did variations of those. From RIE, I learned about giving baby space from the very beginning to play on their own, not entertain them, give them undivided focus and for me most important of all not solve their problems for them. Even though some say the methods oppose in theory, I did not see that and I felt everything meshed beautifully when I was calm and not stressed out.
BTW babies cry. It is not necessarily a bad thing. It is their only way of communicating with you. It took me a LONG time to understand that my job is not to stop the crying at any price but to understand why she is crying and try to respond to it. The hardest part is accepting that sometimes, she just needs to let off some steam and cry a bit. Just like us. I just held DD and told her I'm there. There is not much more that one can do.
woah, this is turning into a long-winded post but as I said, people love to give their opinions . The one thing I'd do different this time is not offer the breast every single time baby's upset/crying - at least after 4 months. I noticed a clear shift when I stopped doing that: DD started recovering from upsets better on her own with needed my boob to calm her down.
Mama to my little Lily (09/2010), and a sweet baby boy (12/2012)
I'm not sure if this will help or not, but prior to becoming pregnant and actually having a baby I had a lot of ideas around what I was willing to do and not do. DH did as well. Many of our ideas were in sync, but not all. Once the baby was here we were able to stick to our core values but we had to do what would work for us and our family. We were more on the side of AP (bf until DD was 20 months and I was preg again, babywearing) but we never co-slept and haven't to this day. DD will be 2 next week and she is incredibly independent, strong-willed, and absolutely hilarious. She can be clingy at times, but she's a kid. Kids want their moms (and dads).
I'm am the most AP of all my friends and many of them thought I was nuts that I wouldn't let DD CIO. My friend with the newest baby is now feeling major guilt from family because they are cosleeping - but it is what works for them and she is being very strong and letting them know that they need to continue to do what is best and what works for their family.
I guess I'm just trying to say that as long as you and your partner have your core values aligned and they are not trying to stop you from doing things like bf'ing or babywearing at all then I would just let what happens happens. As you can see from many of the posts on this site there is not one method that works for everyone and every family and baby are different.
Please know that no matter what ends up working for your family you will be an amazing mom and your baby is lucky to have parents who care so much about their well-being.
Thank you so much for your answers !
I feel a bit better now.
Another question though:
How do you handle different opinions on discipline and slapping/spanking ?
If your DH thinks slapping is appropriate for such and such behaviour but you don't agree, how do you handle it ?
On a side note: If a baby kicks you, do you slap his foot ?

My husband is also against it, but we had similar experiences growing up. By that, I mean I don't believe our parents used spanking properly. For example, I was spanked until I was 12 (other methods would have been more appropriate considering a 12 year old's ability to communicate effectively), I was spanked for things I did when I didn't understand they were wrong or what would happen (pulled all drawers out of my dresser at once, it fell over, I was 5 and didn't know that would happen), and what upsets me most was being spanked when I was 7 and I said I wanted to die. I think someone needed to talk to me about that instead.
From research I've seen, parents who use spanking seem to think it is acceptable to spank when the child has done something that could cause them harm (running into street, hot stove...). Parents also think it shouldn't be used after a certain age. It would also be considered wise to take some deep breaths before spanking, rather than taking anger out on child. *I'm not trying to get into a debate, I don't plan to spank period, this is just some of what I've come across from people who spank.
But anyway, I would give specific examples and try to figure out when he thinks spanking should be used. And you can voice how you would handle those situations without spanking. Maybe even discuss how both your parents used spanking, that may reveal a lot.
And if a baby kicks me, no I would not slap their foot. Babies kick, they just do, but I'm the grown up. I can't say what I would do yet, I'm figuring it's one of those things I will know how to deal with when it happens. Perhaps telling them something like "we don't kick because kicking hurts" idk if that would be sufficient, but we will see when my child kicks me.
Its best to be on the same page about discipline. Kids learn best from consistency. Decide together on an approach you can both agree on. I personally don't know of a single mainstream child development expert, physician or psychiatrist that advocates spanking or slapping your child. Does it happen anyway? Sure and most kids handle it ok as long as they overall relationship is loving and its not the main focus of discipline. But I think its best to have lots of other "tools" in your parenting belt. Distraction, re-direction, fun games that encourage the child to comply are SO much more effective not to mention less guilt-inducing! I think slight differences in discipline styles isn't a big deal, but if you have wide difference, that can be really confusing to the child.
If a baby kicks you intentionally, stop the foot by holding it firmly and say no kick, that hurts. If they do it again, say it again (calmly) and move out of the way. They are exploring cause and effect (ie "What happens when I do this?") so though its important to show them what is and is not ok, don't take it too personally. BTW I am talking about a "baby" who is a toddler, like over the age of 1. A younger baby probably has no inkling their foot is bothering you. An older baby is probably just playing their version of a game and when they learn mom and dad won't play that way, they'll move on to other ways of interacting. One of the worst things you can do is yell and over-react. That is almost guaranteed to get a repeat performance. Young kids thrive on attention, positive or negative. So try to ignore the little things and keep your reactions calm. Not always easy to do, but its a good goal to set at any rate!

I breastfed and wore my baby (not all the time) and coslept until he was 12 months old, and he is absolutely wonderful as a toddler. In fact I wish he was MORE clingy; he is rather independent. I think clingy babies tend to have clingy moms, to be honest, and that this behavior has nothing to do with attachment parenting.
I really think that you should allow your instincts to nurture and bond with your baby take the lead and not allow a man to interfere; husband or not. Your instincts to do these things will be the best guide to how to be a mom; I promise you. This is what we are about and crying it out is not something I was ready to consider until DS reached about 16 months, but he has been so easy I have never really had to practice it. Give attachment parenting a shot and you won't regret it.
Pick up a book by Dr Sears and read when you have time.

How do you handle different opinions on discipline and slapping/spanking ?
If your DH thinks slapping is appropriate for such and such behaviour but you don't agree, how do you handle it ?
On a side note: If a baby kicks you, do you slap his foot ?
As long as the discipline is within certain range, we've learned to let the other parent say/do whatever they feel is necessary. But, up front I always said there will be no hitting of my children. I don't think dh ever had a strong opinion about it, anyway. There are times when kids really drive you crazy you, and sometimes we have to remind each other to not speak too harshly.
Do you mean if a baby kicks you or a toddler? Babies have all kinds of uncontrollable movements...I can't imagine doing any kind of discipline with a baby really...with toddlers, you can distract and redirect and depending on the age, let them know that "no hitting" "no kicking" or whatever and redirect them to something else. I think a lot of boys probably feared their Dad whether physical punishment was used or not in the near past, but I think that's a terrible thing to feel for your father. The Sears book that other people have mentioned is really good. And just keep in mind that there's no one thing that you can do that will make a kid grow up and mature faster than they can. Parenting is a long process and kids do things that drive you crazy and then move on to something else as they move through various developmental stages. Just keep in mind that kids will learn much more from what you model for them than what you tell them. Do you want your 5 year old slapping a baby's foot because the baby kicked him? Or do you want him to say "oh it's a baby/little kid" and just find a way to distract the baby or move out of range? What kind of kid would you be more proud of - the one who can empathize with another human that may be in a different developmental stage or the one that feels like they have to teach everyone a lesson. Kids very quickly copy however you treat them and treat their peers and other people like that when they are able to.
I don't know if this is the same with someone who's already been a father and who's already been through a lot of this stuff.
If he is at all willing, I think sending him a few links to different perspectives on childrearing, including those he already has and reading things that promote his perspective should be helpful. I found it really useful to read from dad-centered sources about the other side of the debate, particularly regarding co-sleeping.
I think it helped both of us understand the whole thing better.

25yo FTM to a Wiggle Panda , student teacher , newlywed
Thank you everyone.
The thing is, DP doesn't buy into parenting styles, theory or whatever. He has some strong ideas based on his experience and on what his mother did with his siblings.
I've tried to talk children psychology and all with him but it's just not working.
We did talk however and he assured me that he would never prevent me from holding my baby or spend as much time as I want with her.
I guess that if he sees me happy doing something he'll just let me do it, even though it might make no sense to him.
Thank you ladies, you're a great help.
You just never know what kind of child you're going to have, like everyone else said. Letting yourself be "non-AP" sometimes by, for example, using a stroller (OH!) or baby entertainment/entrapment devices (hello, exersaucer!) might save your sanity, especially if keeping up a parenting style your DP doesn't "agree" with actually becomes somewhat taxing, maybe because he won't help out with it by holding the baby as much as you. That said, you also never know what kind of daddy your baby's going to have. He may surprise you once he starts to feel something for this baby (which usually starts when the baby has arrived).
I think a good way to approach a conversation about slapping/spanking is noticing (and you might want to do some research or talk to others who have tried it and stopped) that these sometimes escalate a child's aggressive behaviors and create more problems and that if you really are going to spank/slap your child, you had better do it for a really darn good reason (e.g. holding a really strong child back from running in front of a truck . . . I don't know, I don't plan on hitting my children) or else it seems arbitrary to the child and loses its "power."
If your DH thinks slapping is appropriate for such and such behaviour but you don't agree, how do you handle it ?
I think there are some issues that if one parents feels very strongly about, the other one should respect them. For me slapping/spanking is an absolute dead NO and even though DP is also against it, I personally would've made a huge deal out of it if he were to spank.
If your DH does not want to discuss parenting styles, I'd approach him with the logic "do you think your parent did every 100% perfect? Obviously not, so let's try to learn how we can build on what our parents did right and improve from there." And approach him when he's relaxed and just had something to eat, works wonders with DP's attitude . BTW, it is best to prepare your reaction to certain behavior in advance because when they happen, you'll be occasionally really mad/upset and won't have the calm and patience to think what's the appropriate reaction!
On a side note: If a baby kicks you, do you slap his foot ?
It's not a question of "if" but "when". They all kick, and you'll be surprised how early it is with intention. I personally don't slap or hit back. I just hold her foot/hand and say "NO", sometimes just shake my head. If she continues, I keep holding it firmly back (and try my very best not get angry - does not always work) and say "I'm not going to let you hit me.". If she still continues, "If you can't stop yourself right now, I'll leave you here alone for a bit to calm down, I'll be in the other room when you want to play without kicking". The biggest problem is not to get angry yourself - I find it hard - and remain sort of calm but still firm/strong.
Mama to my little Lily (09/2010), and a sweet baby boy (12/2012)
Explain it to him as what works, not about what's popular. Babywear or cosleep when it adds to conveniance. Also check out continuum concept and what they've done forever in many non modern societies as far as keeping young babies close then letting them help you or just run free with minimal interference when they're older. We only punish when kids disobey on purpose, otherwise it's verbal corrections and redirections.
I agree with this. I am not OK with television, especially violence, being around our son on a regular basis. He knows how storngly I feel about this and generally tries to respect it even if he feels differently.
On the other hand DH likes to spoon feed our son and really enjoys it even though our son is not learning to feed himself very well; IT means a lot to DH to spoon feed him so I let it go.
I started getting slappy when my son was kicking me just before he turned two and I was pregnant and going through a very hard time. He would go after me when I changed his diapers and once or twice I smacked him hard enough that he cried a little bit. It only took a few reactions to get him to stop, but I will never ever feel that it was right or OK, especially when I smacked out of reflex/anger and he was not trying to hurt me just play. I feel awful about it and no baby should ever be slapped in my opinion. I hope he forgives me:-(
It sounds like you could use support from other natural parenting minded folks. When my oldest was a baby, I met moms at the local La Leche League. I would highly recommend finding a meeting/group in your area.

I read the Continuum Concept a million years ago and didn't even realize that there is a whole parenting style around that until quite recently. But I always liked the idea of being in-tune with my children and being able to meet their needs so that they could grow and meet their own needs (with no emotional attachment in that, you know, just the being alive part of being). I couldn't quite figure out what I needed to be a mama (other than a baby, some diapers, some clothes, and a car seat) so I didn't really go out and buy any baby gear. I figured that in our modern world anything that I could want could be on my doorstep in a day or two with the click of a mouse, or I could venture out into the world of baby boutiques and/or Target if need be. It wasn't hard to convince DP that we didn't need to spend a ton of money on baby gear! Then, as my due date got closer, and even more so after DS was born, mamas came out of the woodwork to give me wraps, ring slings, packs, bouncy chairs, swings, etc. Every mama had a story to go with their gift! Either the sling was baby's very favorite thing in the whole world, or she never used it b/c baby wouldn't even get in. The bouncy chair was thread bare b/c of how much it was used, or baby cried every time he was put in. Like some of the PPs have said, nothing works for every baby, for every mama, or for every family. It worked great for us to carry DS, because we would rather pop 10-30lbs of baby into a pack than haul around a heavy and awkward car seat/stroller combo. We finally did get a stroller when he was 2yo so that we could go for longer/faster walks and not have to carry him the last mile home because that is what worked for us then. I guess my rambling point is to be flexible with yourself and do what works, even when that changes. Oh, and if you want to play that card (so to speak), baby wearing, breast feeding, and such can be a lot cheaper than the alternatives!

YJs on 35's
Anyone running 35's out there? Trying to decide between 33's and 35's!
What type and size lifts to you have? Stock or aftermarket rims and what a les?
Well I'm planning this out and it looks like ill need 8" to clear 35's. my plans right now are to SOA but not sure where to go from there. I'm gonna be doing some fender work in the near future and plan on running 10" wide wheels. I'm looking for a wider stance. I will be regearing. (If I go with 35's)
Just can't decide if I want to go easy out of box lift and 33's or full build and 35's I've already done 2 builds and not sure if I want to go that far into the jeep.
But pictures could sway me one way or the other.
what size motor and I hope if you go with 35 that you plan on re gear
I know the benefits of regearing as both my f150 and bronco were both geared low. 5:38's in the f150 turnin 46's and 4:58's in the bronco on 35's.
I'm just new to jeeps. Really want to see what is practical
I just got done putting on my 4 inch zone lift and I also have a 2 inch body lift. I wish I woulda bought 35's because the duratracs I just bought look tiny:( I measured the 33's and they are 32 inches tall. There is plenty of room for 35s. My rig is mostly going to be a sand dune cruiser so I don't need much flex.
Mine is SOA on 35s. I guess it all depends on what kind of wheelin you wanna do. I consider mine to be just about perfect for me. I can hit every trail in Big Bear, Calico, etc. with ease and still drive to and from the trail.
I'm starting to lean towards wanting to make it a more hardcore rig w tons and tires in the 40" range, but overall it suits a very wide variety of terrain. I would think 33s would get me hung up on a lot of what I do.

Here's mine with 35s. 4" spring under, 1" shackles, 1" body lift. Plenty of room and great on road. I'm trying to find some 37s to stuff in there after a little trimming.
Overall, 35s are better than 33s if you can fit them. I used to get hung up on stuff I can crawl right over now.
Attachment 254043
Attachment 254045
ive been searching craigslist for a spare set of 35s to put on mine with no luck
My hard offroading days are behind me, tore up way too much crap over the years. But hunting camp has major trail system that I like cruising down. I'm keeping my ideas under wrap until I start the build. But I think it will be a different look.
Y'all's jeeps have the height and stance I want!
Yj fanatic do you have more pictures of your front fenders?
http://www.wranglerforum.com/f8/c-an...on-243945.html hes got some in here
Im impatiently waiting for mine, theyre somewhere in the mail.

Here's the best of the ones I have. The top 2 are from my unfortunate ditch accident. I had 33s and a 2.5" lift then.

Attachment 254110
How's the 4.10's with 35's I've got this crappy automatic trans thinking about going 4.56-4.88, I don't drive on th interstate much mostly 60 and slower!
79 Attachment(s)
Not sure how they'd be with an auto, but I love them with my ax15. I get 16-18 mpgs.
Mine might have more power than most too. I have a 4.0l high output from a 94 Cherokee. I've heard they have a few more horses than the Wrangler 4.0l's.
I dont anticipate any issues when I find some 35s and I have 4.10s with the auto, I do plan on keeping the 33s on it most of the time, but i also drive on the highway, and my RPMs do get high, so bigger tires would calm it down some
79 Attachment(s)
With my 5 speed, 4.10s, and 35s, RPM's are around 1700 at 60mph, which I think is perfect. And I've never had to downshift for a hill. But we dont get huge hills in Michigan.
Im at like 2700-3000 RPMs at 60-70mph, its great for wheeling and cruising in town, but too high for my liking on the highway
2 Attachment(s)
These are 33's on an SOA with 1.5" lift springs. I would rub 35's. If you want 35's on an SOA you will need to trim to fully flex without rubbing, unless you use stiffer springs.
I should also add I have a 2.5 with 4.10's and drove over 200 miles on the highway in the past two days. Not a racecar, but I can do the 65MPH speed limit without a problem.

Y'all got he itch growing! I love how simple these jeeps are,
Here's my last 2 builds
Mild 1993 bronco
Wild 1999 f150
D60 king pin
Leaf sprung
5.38 gears
16.5x14 steelies
Miss that truck!
Had plans on going diesel on it but lost interest.

I'd love to make some fenders like these
79 Attachment(s)
I considered building my own, but after cost of materials, messing up, then more materials, I decided I'd be better off just buying from someone. But it would definitely be awesome if you could build your own. It makes it 1000x better.
I have 35s. The 33s I had were a bit small.
What sucks for me is that in PA you cant get past inspection without full flares that cover the tires. If not for that I would have trimmed like crazy and stuck in 35's. I see all these Jeeps on forums and from other states with little or no flares. Wish I could do that.

HOSPITAL workers have slammed NHS bosses for hiring a "Grim Reaper" finance consultant – who charges up to £3,000 A DAY – to sack 750 staff.
Tim Bolot has been taken on by the Rotherham Hospital Trust in South Yorkshire as it slashes £50million off its budget.
One hospital worker said: "He's been nicknamed the Grim Reaper because he's bringing so much misery to the hospital.
"Everybody is scared of seeing him because they fear they're for the chop."
The first redundancy notices are expected to be sent out next week.
Sue Cookman, of health union Unison, said: "It's becoming a farce with the trust spending thousands on management consultants yet medical secretaries are having to buy their own Post-it notes."
But the trust defended hiring Mr Bolot. Acting chief executive Matthew Lowry said: "Tim has a wealth of experience in assisting large private sector and NHS organisations to overcome their financial challenges."

"The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine that day ." So begins "Casey at the Bat," the most famous poem in baseball history. It's the bottom of the ninth as the story begins, with two outs and two runners on base. Then "mighty Casey" steps up to the plate. Will he pull it off? Will the Mudville nine overcome the two-run lead of their opponents?
Anyone who has read the poem knows the answer. But a burning question for the better part of a century has asked where Casey and his team were playing that day.
"Casey at the Bat" was written in 1888 by Ernest Lawrence Thayer under the pen name "Phin." A native of Lawrence, Massachusetts, Thayer had recently graduated from Harvard University. Among other accomplishments, he had edited the Harvard Lampoon and struck up a friendship with William Randolph Hearst, the newspaper magnate. In 1886, Hearst had hired him as a columnist for the San Francisco Examiner.
Thayer supposedly attended a number of baseball games in Stockton while working for Hearst. To many Stocktonians, his presence at the very least hints that the game took place here in San Joaquin County. Adding to the evidence are three players on the local team who shared names with counterparts in the poem and the unlikely coincidence that a game played in Stockton during the 1887 season featured someone similar to Casey and ended with the same score.
Besides, it's argued, Stockton in its early days was known as "Mudville."
Not everyone finds these arguments compelling. Across the Continent, in Holliston, Massachusetts, people see things differently, claiming their own town as the original Mudville. For evidence, they point to one of their neighborhoods known by that name since the 1850s, and they cite Irish names common to their baseball teams as well as the poem. In addition, they explain that Thayer's family not only kept a summer home just down the road in Mendon, but also owned a woolen mill about a mile away from Mudville.
So who's right? It's hard to tell. Thayer himself didn't really help matters with an assertion shortly before his death that "Casey at the Bat" had no basis in reality.
A couple weeks ago, a student in Massachusetts (yes, that Massachusetts!) sent me an e-mail. She wanted the final word: Was it Stockton or Holliston? Was she taunting me? In any case, what could I say? Call me a traitor if you will, but I ended up sharing both sides of the story. Then I admitted that I didn't know the answer.
I still don't know. But, really, how important is the location? Actually, I think it matters a lot, but not simply as a matter of local pride. To me, the argument over Mudville represents part of an important yearly ritual, one that awakens Americans each spring from a dreary winter and leads them to diamonds throughout the land in search of friendly rivalry and treasured memories.
In the end, perhaps "Casey at the Bat" tells us more about ourselveswherever we livethan we've bothered to admit.
The author wishes to thank William Maxwell, archives manager at the Bank of Stockton, for his insights into local baseball and the poem "Casey at the Bat."

Rosemead, CA
Sponsored Topics
Rosemead is a city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. As of the 2010 census, it had a population of 53,764. Rosemead is part of a cluster of cities, along with Arcadia, Temple City, Monterey Park, San Marino, and San Gabriel, in the west San Gabriel Valley with a growing Asian population.
Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, the area around Rosemead was populated by Native Americans of the Tongva, or as the Spaniards renamed them, the Gabrielinos. In 1771, the Spanish founded the first San Gabriel mission in the area that is now known as Whittier Narrows on the border between Montebello and Rosemead. In 1775, the mission moved to avoid the spring floods that ruined the first crops, to its present location in San Gabriel.
During the Spanish Colonial era, the area that is now the City of Rosemead, was part of the land administered by the San Gabriel Mission. As part of the Mexican government's Secularization Act of 1833, the land, formerly held by the Mission, was generously distributed to private citizens, requiring only that they build a house and graze cattle, brought to an end the Mission Era Following the Mexican-American War and the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe which transferred sovereignty over the territory now known as the State of California to the United States, Anglo-American immigration began to flow to the area. The southern part of Rosemead was part of Rancho Potrero Grande (Large Pasture) which was originally granted to a Native American man named Manuel Antonio,[citation needed] who was a "mayordomo" (overseer) at the San Gabriel Mission. The 4,431-acre (18 km2) ranch was later transferred to Juan Matias Sánchez.[citation needed]

Fox Searchlight proved that they're still in the game of getting new horror out there during last week's Sundance with the purchase of almost wordwide rights to George Ratliff's Joshua (no relation to the Travis Betz movie of the same name) according to The Hollywood Reporter. Ratliff's last gig was the highly praised documentary Hell House, about a haunted house in Texas run by a group of Christians who aim to literally put the fear of God into you.
Joshua follows a more narrative path, telling of the titular disturbed child who slowly turns the lives of his family upside down through his disturbing actions when a new child is brought into the household. Little else has been said about it, other than it compares well to the original Omen mixed with Rosemary's Baby.
Shot in 25 days by Irreversible cinematographer Benoit Debie, Joshua should be making its way into theaters sometime this summer.

There are many players that will have an impact on Syracuse football's 2014 season. But we take a look at the top ten most important players for the Orange.
10. John Miller: Miller is taking over for multi-year starter Macky MacPherson. He emerged during the spring as the guy in the middle of the Syracuse offensive line. Miller's productivity in live game action will be critical for the success of the line and the offense.
9. Ron Thompson: Syracuse needs to develop a consistent pass rushing threat from the front four. Thompson may be the most logical option for the Orange despite not being a starter. His ability to become that will be critical for the success of the defense.
8. Eric Crume: With the loss of Jay Bromley to the NFL, the middle of the defensive line is in need of new leadership. Crume is a veteran who will look to fulfill that role.
7. Julian Whigham: Syracuse needs a corner to step up as someone who can cover opposing team's top receiving options. Whigham's size and speed make him the most likely choice.
6. Cameron Lynch: Lynch is a solid all-around linebacker who can blitz, cover and make an impact against the run. His contributions will be important to the defense this season.
5. Dyshawn Davis: Davis may be the best blitzing player the Orange have. His ability to make plays in the backfield, especially with the loss of Marquise Spruill, will be critical for the defense.
4. Sean Hickey: Winning games starts in the trenches right? Syracuse has one of the best in the ACC and in the nation in offensive tackle Sean Hickey. He protects Hunt's blindside and provides strong run blocking as well.
3. Brisly Estime: Estime may be the most explosive player on the Syracuse offense. If the Orange are to become more dynamic, he needs to be a key part of that. Look for a breakout season from the speedy h-back.
2. Durell Eskridge: Eskridge is the best pro prospect on the team and the most talented defensive player. He can help in run support and be a ball hawk in the secondary. Look for Eskridge to be a playmaker all season in helping the defense force turnovers.
1. Terrel Hunt: In order for Syracuse to take the next step as a program, Hunt must continue his development as a quarterback. Oh, and he has to stay healthy all season. He is the most important player for the Orange this season.

Where to start on my Rat Rod
We just spent the weekend taking the fenders and interior out of my new 1930 Model A Sedan. I am now at the point where I need to figure out the direction I want to go with the car.
I don't want a trailer queen. I don't want something that is going to be on blocks for the next three years because I have to save up for parts. I want a rat rod that I can enjoy driving and working on.
My main priority is to get the engine/drivetrain handled first, so I can transport the vehicle to and from to do bodywork at a later date. Does anyone have any suggestions or How Tos about starting a low-buck project? I've got all sorts of books and magazine that tell you how to swap in a $8,000 frame or $3,000 front end, but nothing that illustrates on how to do it on the cheap.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Difficult to say without pics and description of what you are starting with and a solid idea of where you want to end up (engine, trans, suspension, interior, paint etc. etc.). Also, what you mean by "cheap". Cheap to me might mean $2,500 while cheap to the next guy might mean $25,000.
Any good rod starts with a good foundation...the chassis. And the cheapest route with an A is probably to strip EVERYTHING off the stock frame, box it, and then build your way up from there.

building a rat rod
to start,figure out what kind of power yopu want to use, small block chevy or ford or mopar. then buy a running,driving car with the engine you want to use. weve all seen running cars for under $1,000.00 dollars.that way you will have all the parts without having to go chase them.some parts wont fit,the radiator for example,get a speedway catalog at speedway.com,lots of info in that catalog....and if you have questions,dont be bashful ASK US,one of us will know the answer to your questions and these guys here will keep you on the right track,welcome to the hot rod club.............where are you located???????????
Since you already have a very practical frame (the model A) dont bother looking for a different one unless this one is whacked out of shape. Strip all the the components off and then box it. For the front, the stock suspension will do. If you want to have it fairly low you can buy a dropped axel from speedway that'll fit your wishbones and spring. Split your wishbones and mount them on the side of your frame with HEIM joints...or get hairpin radius-rod style ones from speedway, but if you already have the wishbones why not use them? For the rear, you can "z" your frame if you want to have a lower ride height. The stock rear axel probably wont do for any normal engine choice (SBC, SBF or mopar small block never mind big blocks). The GM 10-bolt axels are nice cause they have a perfect width, are cheap and you can find them everywhere. You can use your stock radius rods for the rear or go with a 4-bar setup if you have the $$$. Keep the stock spring but remove a few leafs, then clean them up and put sliders in between leafs. What you want to do for power if pretty much up to you. SBC is the easiest and cheapest way to go, but then again everyone else has one too right? Mopar 318's are plentifull at wreckers and cheap. Anything other than a small block ford, chevy or mopar will cost ya a bit more. Flatties are getting expensive, and cost lots to build. Nailheads and Olds rocket engines are also getting more costly due to this retro crazy we've been having lately. Make a plan and stick to it. Drag home a whole donor vehicle for your engine...chances are you'll be able to use it for a whole lot more than just the engine (sheet metal, steel wheels, rear axel, seats, wiring etc.). Keep it simple. If this is your first rod then dont go all out, youll only frustrate yourself if it doesnt go the way you want to.
Check in my journals (page 1 or 2) for some pics of a boxed model A frame with a stock model A axel (dropped) and split wishbones. We used a '56 Olds rear and '36 Ford rear radius rods. For spindles we went with 50's Ford F1 and they fit good. The '40 Ford brakes we used also fit perfectly.
Now for me the above is the cheapest....BUT...if you have the $$$ to buy a complete front suspension kit with disc brakes from Speedway then go for it and save yourself a lot of work.
I forgot, ask questions, lots of them. You cannot ask more stupid questions than I have in the past. I came here about 2 years ago fresh to the hobby eager to learn. I asked lots of questions, most of them in the hr basics forum and I always got many responses that helped me understand. Pick up rod magazines and browse through them, read the tech articles etc. and be willing to learn. When I started I knew NOTHING, now I still dont know much but I bought an old truck that I learned how to wrench on, I help my unlce with his T-project and fortunately I have the chance to try my hand at my own t-bucket this coming summer. Dont be afraid to ask and learn. Theres tons of knowleadgable people here willing to help you.
Cheap is probably around $2,000 for chassis/drivetrain. I'd like a V8, but it doesn't have to pull the front wheels off the ground. I'm not opposed to a donor car. I'm not considering any body or interior work in that $2,000. My main concern is to get something that runs solid and can get me from place to pplace - then I'll worry about the cosmetics.
Right now I have a 1930 Model A Sedan in pretty good shape (bodywise) and is/was a complete running/steering/driving vehicle.
The plan is to strip it down to the frame, which we've almost got done, but once it gets there, I'm not sure where to begin. I have a lot of old timers and shadetrees telling me to buy this and buy that, without too much consideration to money. I don't mind doing the work, I just want to make sure that I'm going down the right path.
In my line of work, if you throw a lot of money at something, it's going to look hot - they trick is to make something look hot without having to throw a bunch of money at it. I think the same philosophy can apply to hotrods, but I need an alternative well of ideas than my current (and valuable) batch of mechanics.
Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it.
I think Nightfire is right on with what he has to say about the frontend, drop axel, update the brake system, good rearend from a yard and a good running engine/tran combo from a yard, go steel rims, and your down the road. I got to say Nightfire maybe young but he knows what hes talking about, hit the junk yards or recycle yards with tape measure and you can be going for fairly cheap, just be safe.
It looks like they told you some good stuff. On the rearend of my Model A coupe I used a Nova rear end and used a four bar system with coil over shocks and did away with the original model A spring. Instead of buying expensive hot rod coil overs, I bought some coilover motorcycle shocks used at a bike junkyard. One set was not enough so I used two sets. I have one HarleyDavidson and one Yamaha coil over shock on each side, it works perfect. I also used a panhard bar on the front and another on the rear. I boxed my frame full length and ised a 67 Mustang steering box coulpled to a Camaro tilt column to side steer it with. It works great.
The bike coil overs are an interesting tip. Did you try just one set first and then discover they didn't provide enough spring or did you just go ahead and install double shocks right from the start.
I think in many cases, light weight rods are WAY over sprung, particularly in the rear. This can result in a rather harsh ride. I used lightweight coil springs from a set of "helper" springs in my roadster but I like your idea of the motorcycle coil-overs even better as a cheap alternative to traditional coil-overs.

You want a V-8... because eveyone else has one? It doesn't take a lot of power to make someting as light as a model A a lot of fun. It weighs about the same as a Mazda Miata or MGB. Those have 2.0L engines or less. A big four with EFI would be plenty fun and real cheap. A turbo would be a nice addition later, unless of course you find a good donor with one already -- something like a Merkur XR4ti, T-bird Turbo Coupe, etc. 2.3L with a turbo, about the same power as a nice 5.0L V-8. If you don't want to go EFI, I've seen an early Olds Quad Four with a pair of Webers sticking out the side -- very cool looking. The 2.5L GM Iron Duke can have the same. Small V-6s are a reasonable choice too -- the 2.8L or 3.1L from a Camaro. The A rear axle would even stand up behind a small V-6 or four for a while, but isn't it a torque tube? You wouldn't have to worry about frame strengthe as much either. If I were going with a non-turbo four I wouldn't even worry about boxing the rails, just build/buy strnger cross members to stiffen things up a bit. Gas isn't getting cheaper -- so the four or small V-6 is something to consider. Personally I don't like the look of the small V-6, I think a four would look better and would go that route. A 4.3L V-6 is physically big enough to look right and is worth serious consideration, but if you're going to build it up any the frame rails probably need boxing like a V-8. An S-10 truck or Blazer would provide a rear axle, engine, and trans -- and a choice of four, small V-6, or 4.3L V-6. Ford Ranger or any other foreign small truck would do the same (Ranger is basically a Mazda since 98 or so?). So would an Explorer, which would be the more logical choice. Disc brake rear axle, 4.0L V-6 (didn't early models have a four?), auto OD trans, and all Ford!
For a nice affordable driver, that's the way I'd go. There are lots of four cylinder track T's and such out there now, and more being built. A while back one of the mags had an article where someone even built an A four with modern internals, but a lot of machine work was involved. Still, it put out very good power, and IIRC the roadster was cutting mid 13's with it. Not shabby at all! Remember, 60s muscle typically ran mid 14's.
Man, you guys have been great. What it sounds like here is that my best option (pricewise) would be to find a donor car that can provide me with updated brakes, rear end, trans, engine and possibly electrical.
Personally, that sounds like it would work best as I can always hop into a donor car, make sure it drives/runs/works and go into the project knowing my components are functional.
I'm going to talk to my mechanic buddy today to bounce some of these ideas off of him, so please feel free to keep posting - I appreciate everyone sharing their knowledge - it's not going to waste!
Just remember you want a rear drive car (truck, SUV), and preferably one that isn't to wide. S-10, Ranger, Explorer should have the right width rear axle, Mustang might work, but anything bigger (like a Crown Vic) would be to wide. I'd not get anything newer than around 96 without checking the vehicle thoroughly. A lot of the cars and SUVs made after 96 have integrated security systems, especially on the upper end. Those can be a PITA to get around.

C-Boy I put one set of the motorcycle coilovers on and it was not enough so I went back to the cycle junk yard and got another set. It is just right. I got them for cheap and they are chrome plated and look great. Another plus is..they are adjustable. Your right most of these small coupes are in my opinion over sprung on the rear, there is just not that much weight involved there.
Donor cars...
Inline 6's are another cheap alternative to V8's. They look cool and are period correct (if that's your thing). They can also be hopped up fairly easily. I scored a complete Chevy 292 inline six for 50 bucks. You have a lot to work with already since your car complete. All the little things add up quick. I strongly recomend picking up Mike Bishop's Hot to build a traditional ford hot rod. There's tons of good information in that book.
Where to start really depends on what sort of look you are going for. If you're going straight traditional some minor modifications to your frame is all you need (kick up the rear, box it, new k member). A dropped axle, split wishbones (since you've got them) or hairpins and a brake upgrade will have your front end in order. Your rear end is easy since it's not really exposed, any similar width axle with a pair of model A spring perches is all you need. Not to sure about running split bones on a non stock axle, but hairpins are easy enough. A 4 link would work well too.
Hope that helps.
If you can find a two wheel drive Jeep Cherokee or Comanche pickup with the 4.0L six you're way ahead of the game! Nice EFI in-line six that doesn't look to modern (no big curved intake like the 300 Ford) but has more power than a 305 V-8. I made an adapter to run a standard chrome air filter on mine, and most people don't notice the fuel rail -- they assume a carb is under the air cleaner! Of course a real gear-head notices, but takes a second look to find it. Most of the electronics can be hid under the cowl. Not to hard to just lift everything from the Jeep and drop in another car. Mine's in a 63 Rambler (see my album for a pic of car and engine). If/when I get around to building a track-T, I want to use a Jeep 2.5L EFI four. Mainly because I'm an AMC guy and that engine is basically the AMC in-line six with two cylinders missing. Regardless of how I go, it will be a four though.

Ive been reading Duriel E. Harriss Amnesiac these last few weeks. And maybe because Im recovering from a bout of some flu-like illness, when I returned to the book this morning I found myself noticing how the body dominates the work.
Harris is a poet, performance/sound artist, and scholar, and Amnesiac is her long-awaited second book, out this year from Sheep Meadow Press.
To describe Amnesiac as a book of poetry is inaccurate and incomplete. It is also a soundscape that includes musical scores as poems/poems as musical scores. It is also a gallery of portraits and self portraits composed of dense lines and complex syntax or quick, deft strokes. Such as
self portrait as negro girl
the desire to belong
extracts what no one knows
remains, leaving enough to make
eloquent my polite decay
Harris first book, Drag, is a fiercely experimental and political collection, and Amnesiac continues Harriss work to make explicit the ways that linguistic, poetic experimentation can resist systems of oppression. Harris explodes language, poetry, and sound in order to reconfigure how we think about racism, genocide, physical, and sexual violence. Reading Harris, I am convinced that we must find alternative ways into language if we are to remember and be able to speak. And there are ways ??? she shows us the ways ??? towards such a deconstruction-into-reconstruction.
Her work is always polyphonic and multilingual, insistently staking claim for bodies marked by race and gender to inhabit all ways of speaking. As in this title: ???Pourmore formore PoMoFunk dunk dun paramour or Duriels Bootybone Scattergram: scatty pas de quarter in one act. These poems insist that nothing is off limits to speak about, and no way of speaking/sounding is off limits. Even ??? and especially ??? if we are women. Even ??? and especially ??? if we are people of color. Even ??? and especially ??? if our bodies hold the trauma of violence.
The body ??? the bruised, the messy, the exploded body ??? looms large in Amnesiac. The work opens with two epigraphs that lay out the scope of Harris project: a passage by Olga Broumas concerning possible shifts of meaning," and Eavan Bolands terse line The body is a source. The implicit question raised by the Boland quote ??? the body is a source of what? ??? is partly what Harris sets out to explore.
That the body is a source of pain and suffering is clear. Poems in this book land on and burrow into the Rwandan genocide, child sexual abuse, cancer, and illness. The pain-body, described in the notes as a ravenous parasitic entity that feeds on and seeks out pain, is never far from these poems.
But the body is also a source of language. In self portrait (with vial and corn tash) the language of the body and the bodys language are inextricable.
My transformational grammar, a shaking,
gray passage, in the sentence: the darkest
layer of bone, a huddled shrug, a current.
Uncontained, uncontainable, dangerous and powerful. The body remembers what the brain cannot, holds trauma, and shapes the personal and societal self:
That which makes the body | makes the self | beyond which we are undone
This line comes from a poem titled speleology. Wikipedia tells me that speleology is the study of caves as complex evolving systems, and I was interested in the connection many of these poems made between the body and the earth. Body as complex system. Body as cavity filled with the mess of our guts. To turn the Boland quote around, to look to the bodys source, we find the earth, and there, perhaps, transcendence. In bliss: geophagy, as the speaker eats the earth, the earth consumes the body/bodied language:
My throat, elongated supple sponge
absorbs defiant syllables with soft resolve;
the earth bellows, rushing in.
There is much more to say about Amnesiac. I found the self portraits that appear throughout the book to be fascinating and linguistically dexterous. Singing back to Whitman in discord and harmony they negotiate the impossibility of constructing an accurate portrayal of the every-shifting, deeply complicated self. And, Ive only touched on the ideas of memory and forgetting that of course are central concerns of the work.
That is to say, now it is time to go get yourself a copy of this engaging, discomforting, and marvelously innovative book and see for yourself. Go bodily spelunking.
