I am certain this has been done before, but I suppose I will start a new thread for this.
I personally have always been a Libertarian.
Minarchism ["night watchman"-ish] --> Monarchic Minarchism [no taxes; no violent monopolies on any industry; technically anarcho-capitalism but with a powerless king] --> Rothbardian Anarcho-Capitalism
Democrat to moderate libertarian to anarcho-capitalist to Nietzschean anarchism to mutualist to Individualist anarchist/minarchist.
I would like to say though that with the exception of my first step each evolution has retained important elements from the previous one(s)
These threads are always fun. I'll re-post an edited blog post from 2008:
I am an anarchist. Let me clear away the stereotypes. I am not an angry teenager, I have a career, I have children. I do not want chaos, I want my children and grandchildren to live in the best of all realistically possible worlds. I am not emotionally maladjusted, I have a normal relationship with my parents, I don't have a problem with authority, having only been fired once (for love!) and my most serious run-ins with the state have been speeding tickets (none in the last five years). I am not an atheist.
The 2000 Presidential election was the first time I was old enough to vote and, as a good Republican, I cast my vote for W. I was raised a small-government conservative and I believed that the Republican party genuinely stood for small-government conservatism since that had been its platform since at least the time of Ronald Reagan. In the eight years which have passed since I first voted, I have seen Federal spending balloon to unprecedented heights. For six years, Republicans controlled both Congress and the Presidency. The Republicans broke record after record for fastest budget growth, largest total Federal budget ever and so on. It became painfully obvious that the Republican Party was using the same recipe the Democrats had used to hold Congress for nearly forty years before 1994: buy the incumbency. But if the party of small government used exactly the same tactics as the Democrat party once they obtained power, instead of using their power to scale back the Federal government, decentralize and delegate power back to the states and so on, then neither party represented small government. The idea of a small government party was a myth created by Republicans to obtain power in the first place. That is, the Republican party talked about small government only because they knew there were a lot of disaffected folks out there who wanted smaller government who would vote for anyone who appeared to be in favor of scaling back government.
Then it struck me that it was a matter of course. Why does someone go into politics except to govern? And once power has been achieved, by whatever means, what incentive is there to scale back one's own authority? Franklin D. Roosevelt rode his wave of popularity to a lifelong Presidency (think about it). The vast majority of people, if given a groundswell of popular fervor like that which greeted FDR during his Presidency would have made the same choice as FDR - ride it out for as long as it lasts. We all like to imagine that, given the choice, we would not choose like FDR but this is just a symptom of our own narcissism. We love to flatter ourselves on how selfless, giving, and others-oriented we are. When you look at the historical record, and how people actually choose when really faced with the choice between power or self-restraint, the choice, with extremely rare exceptions, is power.
Sometime before Christmas last year, I was at Barnes & Noble and I happened to be looking at the discount books. I noticed a pile of political books and, since I fancy myself a philosopher of religion, politics, etc. I gravitated towards it. One book, Basic Economics, caught my eye both because I had been thinking I needed to better understand how the economy works, and because I noticed its author was Thomas Sowell, who I had heard interviewed on radio and TV on several occasions. I had been impressed with his concise reasoning and no bullshit mentality. I bought the book, hurried home, and started reading voraciously.
As I began reading, I began to have my mind blown by the simplicity and far-reaching consequences of economic philosophy. Sowell's book has no math equations and does not present a mathematical case for a particular school of economics. Rather, his book makes philosophical arguments about human behavior. The first principle he introduced which thoroughly rewired my way of thinking was this: People tend to do more for their own benefit than for the benefit of others. I have since run into this principle in many different forms. Milton Friedman in an old television interview I saw on YouTube says it this way, People never take care of the property of others as well as they take care of their own property. Or, stated another way (David Friedman, Milton Friedman's son): People have goals and tend to make the choice among the alternatives facing them which best achieves those goals. When these principles are consistently applied to all people - whether police, government bureaucrats, elected officials, charity workers, clergy or business owners - the change in one's perspective is revolutionary. I would go so far as to say that, despite finishing a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, I had not really learned to think critically until I began studying economics. I had never learned to analyze the "irrational" choices that other people make which I would not have made in their circumstances. I assigned the "crazy" actions of other people to wickedness, stupidity, ignorance, insanity, corruption or any other number of human maladies. While human behavior is not completely predictable, there are predictable elements to it. By assigning the choices which people make that I don't understand to irrationality, I was giving up and failing to think critically about why, really why they make the choices they do.
I think part of the reason for this sloppy thinking is what I call the myth of vulgar altruism. We each like to believe we are humble, selfless, self-effacing, giving, altruistic, caring, trustworthy individuals. A biblical example is Jesus's discussion of the Pharisees who make a pretense of giving, but blow a trumpet before doing so to make sure that everyone around sees how good and laudible they are. This is an obviously self-interested act, since it is motivated by the desire to be perceived in a certain way by others. It is the result of a simple cost-benefit analysis: the benefit of being perceived as good by other people exceeds the cost of the money being deposited into the temple treasury. This hardly seems like true self-sacrifice, giving despite pain and real, net loss to oneself.
To bring this back to the Republican party, I began to think critically about why government had grown more under the Republicans than it had under the Democrats when a vital component of the Republican platform had been to scale back government once they attained power. 9/11 is no excuse for the overall budget growth we've seen. The reason, really, is simple: Both Democrats and Republicans have an interest in increasing the size of government. The difference between them is which government programs they champion. That's it. Since people tend to act more in their own interest (political gain) than in the interests of others (constituency), it is inevitable that elected leaders - whether R or D - will always increase the size and scope of government.
That's when I realized that there is no hope for limited government. The Libertarian Party and other independents sit on the sidelines waiting for the "some day" when Americans start voting for something other than Republicans or Democrats, but it was clear many years ago that this is futile. There is no political solution to the problem of political government. Government, by virtue of the fact that there is no force which may oppose it, always grows.
So, I began to think about what if there were no government. What would happen? Would chaos ensue? Would we have "nature red in tooth and claw" or the all-against-all jungle predicted by Hobbes? I think the answer, given sufficient qualification, is no. I will try, however, to compress into one sentence the basic reason why it is possible to imagine a realistic (not idealistic), ordered anarchy. The reason is this: The free market can provide all the services which government currently provides to maintain peace, law, order, safety and the public welfare at a lower cost, better quality or both by inducing organizations which perform these services to compete with one another under the constraint of profitability.

WOWWW nice save there!
What in the world got you from communist to anarcho-capitalist?
@Eric- To be honest, your biography inspired me to make this thread. xD
@Neodoxy- Ha, I would also like to know the answer to that question. Redwine has a very interesting political past!
I just started becoming less and less authoritarian, and the path naturally leads to anarcho-capitalism
I wrote this a little while ago, detailing my journey. Basically, apathetic -> "Ignorant Constitutionalist" -> minarchist libertarian -> liberal anarchist.
Though I recently convinced myself that nothing good comes from using 'anarchist' and that I should stick with 'polycentrist.' Names are important!

I too would never use the word anarchist. I would use Libertarian and Rothbardian (or maybe "Market Emergentist") to describe my stances in any public setting. Now, around family or friends I might use anarcho-capitalist, but I make sure they know what it means.
Always had a free-market view with a bit of an odd stance on decentralization and natural order, but before I started reading books on politics and economics I couldn't really form it into I needed it to be.
My stance is on the whole free-market, but again an odd mixture of being anarchist among other things. I always push the anarcho-capitalist position in any debate when it's within the range of discussion, but this is also along side tribal law codes that would be set up in different provinces amongst various monarchs and councils. Essentially, Anglo-Saxon law.
"I just started becoming less and less authoritarian, and the path naturally leads to anarcho-capitalism"
I used to be fairly liberal (mainly because I was ignorant of the human race, and because it sounded great on paper combined with the fact that I had no sense of ethics) and then lost faith in them because I realized it was "always do as they say, not as they do", then I learned about Dr. Paul for the first time in the GOP debates in early 07, and saw what an honest theologically conservative anarchist he was, and then that changed me to a theologically conservative anarcho-capitalist. Unlike most Anarcho-capitalists, however, I am willing to accept a very minimal state if a minimal state were possible, although it's not. I could tolerate wasting maybe 2% of my income on police, libertarian legislators, libertarian judges, and libertarian courts, and punishment of people for violating property rights, but that's pointless and government becomes outright intolerable when you're paying more than 2% of your income to enforce tyranny..
Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine - Elvis Presley
I fluctuated between angsty punk anarchist and compassionate left liberal throughout high school and college, but I didn't really put much thought into it. I read Thoreau my senior year in college and started to consider myself an individualist. I discovered austrian economics, libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism from visiting the anti-state.com forums, and became a full blown Rothbardian and amatuer political philosopher. I'm still an anarcho-capitalist, but not on moral grounds.
they said we would have an unfair fun advantage
Economically I've always been a free marketer, I went from a Freidmanite to a Misesian. Not a ahuge leap there, more of a natural progression.
Foreign policy wise I was a neo-con and now I am a pacifist... Go figure
I credit Mises, Rothabrd, and Hayek for my progreesion into pacifism, but guys like Thoreau, Emerson, Spooner, Tolstoy, Darrow really took me over the edge.
My young punk days is why I still like the word Anarchist, even though I wasn't truly an Anarchist back then. I just like being the anti conformist rock n roll rebel and thought anarchism was about dyed hair, torn clothes, and spray painting Circled A on private property.
I was pretty much an idiot until I went to work and started aquiring my own earned property. I discovered Libertarianism accidently on the internet and out of curiosity I got interested. I'm on a much clearer path now even though I still have plenty to learn.
Hey LibertarianCowboy, at least you were a relatively consistent anarchist unlike the ones in Greece protesting over government spending cuts
I used to be basically a classical liberal/right-libertarian.
I've always disliked both corporations and government. For awhile I thought that meant I was a moderate. Heh.
I was apathetic for most of my life. In 2000, with the presidential elections looming I felt the social pressure/peer pressure to vote. I voted for the Green Party/Ralph Nader because it was the only party/platform opposing the death penalty. Over the next 4 years I realized that people should be left alone, and I read Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell (thanks, Grandpa). I was a small-government libertarian without realizing it. I voted Republican because they seemed to talk-the-talk on economic issues of non-intervention, which I decided were ultimately more important. I reasoned that I would rather live in an opressive society (militarist, sexist, theocratic) with a high standard of living than a liberal society where everyone is poor. After the 2008 election, I stumbled across Lewrockwell.com and from there I learned about libertarianism and anarcho-capitalism (and mises.org). I read Economics In One Lesson, Human Action, The State, Man, Economy And State, For A New Liberty, and other books of the Austrian school. I prefer the anarcho-capitalist appellation despite the possible negative reactions (or in spite of them). I am not trying to win any friends and if someone makes conclusions about me without examining the actual content of my position then they are someone who cannot think for themselves. Let them rot, I say. Political economy requires critical thought.
"I am an anarchist. Let me clear away the stereotypes. I am not an angry teenager, I have a career, I have children. I do not want chaos, I want my children and grandchildren to live in the best of all realistically possible worlds. I am not emotionally maladjusted, I have a normal relationship with my parents, I don't have a problem with authority, having only been fired once (for love!) and my most serious run-ins with the state have been speeding tickets (none in the last five years). I am not an atheist."
Except for the being fired part, this is me as well. I'm pretty normal.

I was a socialist when I was a teenager. I was just trying to think through what works, because from what I saw capitalism didn't. (I know, I stand corrected.) I still kept that with me when I went off to college, and even attended meetings of the socialist party when I was at NYU. I know, about as far left as you can get! (Although I still was kind of on a superficial level on the whole theory and everything. ...I remember even asking someone at a protest, "How are goods distributed in a socialistic/communistic society?" And no one had any idea! Tells you how deep the general theoretical knowledge is over there.)
Anyway, the financial "crisis" came in 2008 and I wanted to understand. I listened to some This American Life episodes about the crisis, then watched the movies "Money Masters" and "Money as Debt" and that, and hundreds of hours of reading at a boring temp job, sent me off to where I am today.
A few years ago, I was a typical Republican. Then i discovered Ron Paul and became a Constitutionalist. After that, I joined the libertarian club at my school and discovered anarcho-capitalism and decided that it is the only system that makes sense to me.
I'm 22
I was originally a conservative (fiscal conservative/social liberal) influenced by my parents.
Encountered Milton Friendman and became a minarchist libertarian then encountered Rothard and became anarcho-capitalist.
Figured this was worth an add:
Nationalist leftist (I didn't know anything about economics and were very young)
Nationalist semi-free marketeer (I lost a debate to some libertarians and started to support free trade but still supported many public services)
Nationalist minarchist (I realized that public services suck)
Minarchist (I found austrian school and bought Economics in One Lesson)
Anarcho-capitalist (I read some D. Friedman, Rothbard and Hoppe)
Still, I always hated communism.
Nationalist(Something I am quite ashamed of now) -> Nationalist supportive of free markets-> constitutionalist -> objectvist(Very brief period) -> anarchist.

I am often considered by others to be a follower of Ayn Rand, even though I have not read any of her works and have no idea what she stands for. Simply supporting free enterprise in an argument leads my opponents to associate me with Ayn Rand. From what my opponents tell me about Ayn Rand, she supported some sort of aristocratic society, a minarchist state in which a handful of individuals would dominate the masses and consume the greater part of the wealth. Not at all what comes to mind when I think of capitalism. She sounds more like a communist than a supporter of free markets.
Ayn Rand did not support anything like that. Leftists, and pretty much everyone else, misrepresent her positions.
I consider myself to be a strong supporter of free trade and the free market, as I think everything should be privatized or open to homesteading, including roads, law, the oceans, identity documents, and so on. But just a cursory glance at Objectivism gives me chills.
For instance (from http://www.atlassociety.org/what_is_objectivism):
Objectivism is the philosophy of rational individualism founded by Ayn Rand (1905-1982). In novels such as The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, Rand dramatized her ideal man, the producer who lives by his own effort and does not give or receive the undeserved, who honors achievement and rejects envy. Rand laid out the details of her world-view in nonfiction books such as The Virtue of Selfishness and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal.
The positing of an "ideal man" is a utopian and socialist fantasy. What is usually necessary to bring about this "ideal man" is an "ideal society.".
Run-of-the-mill conservative in high school and first two years of college
Read Ron Paul's book Revolution: A Manifesto last November where I was directed here
Grew progressively more libertarian while resisting giving up on the state entirely
Anarcho-Capitalist as of about a month ago
Grew progressively more libertarian while resisting giving up on the state entirely
This is nearly universally reported by people from mainstream political persuasions (myself included). I am fascinated by this. Why are we so emotionally vested in the State, as if the Universe gives a shit whether there's a State or not? One important component of this for me was the desire to not disappoint my family. My family pretty much treats me like a religious family treats an atheist family member... somewhere between condescending, patronizing, disappointed and bewildered. I suspect this may play a role in the psychological resistance that others experience in just "going all the way."

I'm dealing with this right now. I sort of decided that my family relationships were more important than having the "perfect" political philosophy. As a result, I have been reading less Austrian literature lately. Not sure if this is a good thing...
First election I was old enough to vote in was 2004, I voted for Bush because he calls himself a Christian and talks about the free market. Later, I read a book called Freedomnomics by John R. Lott, basically a response to Freakanomics; its repeated call for freedom was intriguing to me. I watched a lot of the classic Milton Friedman clips on youtube (eg, "where are we going to find the angels to organize society?"), which led me to his Free to Choose television series, which led me to read his book Free to Choose. Soon after, I read Robert Murphy's The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism, which was extremely influential, not so much in the ideas within, which to me sounded a little extreme, though thought provoking; the real value was all the cited works throughout the book that I searched for. It was there I heard of Mises and Hayek and Hazlitt, as well as others. I got a hold of Economics in One Lesson, and from there I was hooked. It was around that time (2007ish) I found mises.org and there was no turning back.
As for my beliefs, I'd say: apathetic in HS>extremely ignorant Conservative>"Republitarian", which is basically a libertarian who believes the US has the duty to be Team America World Police, but should be extremely laissez-faire domestically; talk about untenable> then, Free Marketer, which was my phase of holding out against finally calling myself an anarchist, which sounded too scary; the night watchman state appealed to my sensibilities> now I call myself an Anarcho-capitalist, though due to its violent, chaotic connotations, I tend to avoid the use of the word anarchy in polite conversation. I tend to hammer home the concepts of non-aggression, voluntarism, private property. If somebody calls me out I admit that yes I am opposed to top-down, violent control, and if that makes me an anarchist so be it.
For what it's worth i too consider myself to be a well-adjusted individual, though who doesn't? :-)
I've always favored liberty, but never knew how to articulate it: what my views were, my philosophy etc. One day my dad told me that the best book he had ever read was an essay by John Stuart Mill called "On Liberty." So, he bought it for me and I read it. That essay hooked me into politics and liberty: the essay was such an influence that when I was in high school, I would title my essays "On (Insert Subject)" All of them sounded like some educated thesis based pamphlet handed out in the streets in the nineteenth century. To me, they all sounded pretty BA.
The one thing that I couldn't get was how people divided themselves. Liberals, to me, seemed to seek liberty for social matters but heavy regulators on the economy; Conservatives, to me, seemed to seek a liberated market and a regulated social sphere. This made NO sense to me at all. I thought "One can't come without the other." So I decided then that I must be all regulation or all freedom. I chose the latter.
I heard argument all day every day, but had no base. Inspired by Mill, I decided that I had to get brushed up on the classics before I could even hope to focus on what happens today, much less understand it. So, here goes:
Politically, my family was pretty conservative. Our favorite was Dubya. I got really mixed up however when he started his spending and the media was relentless on him. My Dad used to listen to a guy named Mark Levin in his car and I thought he knew what he was talking about (after all, he is a Constitutional Lawyer..). I really liked how he'd tear into people who had no idea what they were saying, plus he was pretty good on economics for the most part. So, I started listening to him. After a while, I bought his book "Liberty and Tyranny" and read it. I thought it was so good, I started copying it in a notebook (the original was a library rental and, in retrospect, screw IP). I read the Federalist Papers, The Anti-Federalist Papers, Leviathan, Two Treatises on Civil Government, Common Sense, Democracy in America and got my base in politics: ultimately, freedom makes for shiny, happy people. Something didn't sit right though. I didn't like his views on foreign policy, and grew out of his rants over time. Over some time, I found a congressman named Ron Paul who seemed to know a thing or two about a thing or two. He explained his constitutional voting record, his laissez-faire economic views, and liberty for the individual. So, Paul was the first politician that I was actually enthusiastic about. He's old and a weak speaker but he seemed very bright and in line with my views; IMO he's gotten to be a better speaker and his age doesn't bother me at all. Mark Levin hates him. I thought "How could a Constitution praiser like Mark hate Ron Paul so much?" I stopped listening to Levin and kept listening to Paul. However, I still maintain that Levin's good once in a while. I don't listen to Levin as religiously as I used to (rarely ever), but if there's nothing better on and I'm in the car, I'll turn it to Levin for a bit at least just to see what's on his mind. So, with my political philosophy set, I'm comfortable labeling my views as libertarian.
When the downturn started, I got interested in economics. Something was wrong and I wanted to know why. I looked up all I could on economics on Youtube. This one guy kept coming up named Milton Friedman. he made so much sense philosophically: naturally looking towards freedom, stressing the importance of the individual, standing up to question from college students, plus many pro-govt trolls in the comments section picked at him so I naturally thought he was a good guy. I found out that he had a tv series called "Free to Choose" which I promptly sought and watched it entirely. I saw that there was a book written by him, same title, and that's where I'd say it really got rolling. I would come home from school and start watching/reading. How do ya like that: Kids my age on Fridays were getting smashed, partying or worse and there I was studying Economics, watching Milton debate the principles behind helmet laws and reading his examples of the futility of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Something that really didn't sit right was Friedman's views on how the Depression should have been handled. When I read that the Federal Reserve should have stepped in to create more money, I got a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. It felt like Friedman was admitting defeat. After all this appraisal of the free market, and the individual, it turns out that the government needed to step in to save the day. Then I learned that Friedman was a Monetarist and what that meant- Keynes' cousin. I felt pretty bad for a while. For a while I kept watching videos and found a commenter who really seemed to know his stuff. I friended him, and saw that his "School(s)" was filled out as "Austrian (for those who get that)". I didn't- not that I cared at the time. But I kept in contact with this guy and asked him for a reading list. He recommended "That Which is Seen and That Which is Not Seen" by some cat named Bastiat, and Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt. Those ae still some of the best writings that I've ever read. I read those books and looked them up on Youtube and saw some speakers from something called the Mises Institute (anyone else heard of it?). One of them was such a good speaker and seemed really bright, and funny. He was the first to piece together the Austrian Business Cycle Theory. After watching a few times, I started reading articles from this site. Tom was such a good speaker, I bought the book he was advertising throughout the speech- Meltdown (interestingly, from a dude with a ponytail who was not shy to share that he was libertarian! He told me that Meltdown was an excellent book). I consumed the book in a couple of weeks, mostly because I didn't understand how great it was when I bought it (had I known, I wouldn't have put it off and would have read it in a night)- That was when I knew I was Austrian.
Since then I've read Murphy, Mises, Hayek, Hazlitt, Rothbard, Sowell, Bastiat, Friedman, Woods, Read, Tucker, Rothbard, Smith, Ricardo, Cantillon, Menger, Bohm-Bawerk and I hope to add many, many more.
Politically: Not much opinion--> "Bush Republican"--> Mark Levin conservative --> libertarian
Economically: Not much opinion--> "Surely, there's gotta be some regulation"--> Milton Friedman laissez-faire--> Austrian
I don't know if it makes sense to put myself in two categories or just call my self a Classical Liberal, but, it is what it is.
If I had a cake and ate it, it can be concluded that I do not have it anymore. HHH
I started as a neocon in my teens, went quasi-fascist, then socialist (is there really a difference? LOL), and finally settled on market anarchism in my late twenties to present (31 this year).
"The power of liberty going forward is in decentralization. Not in leaders, but in decentralized activism. In a market process." -- liberty student
I considered myself a classical liberal in the Jeffersonian tradition. I believed that constitutional republic, egalitarianism and free markets were fundamental tenets. Once I became knowledgeable about economics I realized that the latter was impossible with the two formers present and that the full expression of the latter nullified the formers.
In the end, to answer Rothbard's challenge, yes, I do hate the state.

- The egg travels to the fallopian tubes. Here the man's sperm can fertilize it.
- If the egg is fertilized (conception), it moves down the fallopian tubes to the uterus.
- It implants itself into the wall of the uterus. It then begins its 40 weeks of fetal growth.

- In vitro fertilization (IVF) —several mature eggs are removed from the woman's body and mixed with sperm in a lab. The egg and sperm mixture or a 2-3 day old embryo is then placed in the uterus.
- Gamete or zygote intrafallopian transfer (GIFT or ZIFT)—an egg is removed from the woman's body and mixed with sperm in a lab. The egg and sperm mixture or a 2-3 day old embryo is then placed in the fallopian tube.
- Blastocyst intrafallopian transfer—an egg is removed from the woman's body, injected with sperm, and allowed to develop. It is later implanted into the uterus.
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection—a single sperm is injected into the egg. The resulting embryo can be implanted into the uterus or frozen for later use.
- Stop smoking.
- Limit or avoid caffeine and alcohol.
- Maintain a healthy body weight.
- Protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) by using condoms . Minimize the number of sexual partners you have.
- Try stress management techniques .

Please sign up to get my newsletters for monthly specials and new artwork. Growing up in southern Connecticut, I attribute my passion for photography to living so close to New York City. As long as I can remember, New York City has fascinated me with its mixture of old and new America. This is depicted in my New York Series of photographs in the first phase of my photography. In between my move from Connecticut to New Hampshire, I did a great deal of traveling by auto across our country. I've spent time in Oregon, Southern and Northern California, Pennsylvania, and Florida. During this time I had the opportunity to photograph the roadways and scenic vistas of this beautiful land.

LIVE! | KC Rockfest 2012
by Shawna Luehring
Staff Writer –
May 12, 2012 at Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, MO
The annual tradition started and carried on by the Kansas City radio station 98.9 the Rock moves into its 20th year. Celebrating the anniversary with 55,000+ fans at this year's event was featured headliner Shinedown, Slash with Myles Kennedy, Five Finger Death Punch, Hellyeah, Volbeat and many more.
Like past shows, the artists split the time performing on two stages: Monster Energy Stage and the Jeremiah Weed Stage. Fifteen bands performed and delivered 12 hours of music at the largest one-day music festival in the U.S. Except for a little rain during Adelitas Way's set and a brief power outage that caused Chevell to cut its set short and Slash to perform with no stage lighting, the concert was uneventful when compared with shows from the last few years.
Highlights of the concert included the debut of Denmark's Volbeat, whose first appearance in Kansas City brought the crowd to their feet, and Hellyeah, dubbed "America's heavy metal supergroup," closed out the second stage with some serious hard rock. With such as a large crowd on hand, the promoters added large, enhanced HD video screens on each side of the Monster Energy, and the Jeremiah Weed stage was larger this year, standing a towering 10 feet tall.
Monster Energy Stage (Main):
Adelitas Way
Rev Theory
Theory of a Deadman
Slash (and Myles Kennedy)
Five Finger Death Punch
Jeremiah Weed Stage (Second):

You'll need to hardwire the cable's power and ground leads to provide charging capability. Once you've done that, you can charge and listen to your iPod through your car stereo simply by connecting the cable's dock connector to your iPod and its male stereo RCA connectors to your stereo's RCA auxiliary input. You can enjoy your favorite music on the go and keep your iPod charged as you drive. Note: The RCA-iPD does not provide iPod control or information display through your car's receiver.

Written By Pete M, Turlock ca on Monday, November 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Worked perfectly!Easy Hookup! Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Product Written By Dave, Salt Lake City Utah on Friday, April 08, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this to go in my Polaris RZR (side by side ATV) along with a marine amp. It worked great and charges the iPod while listening to music. Excellent product. A little expensive for what it is but I don't blame Crutchfield. Apple tends to think very highly of their products and over charge for everything. But with that said I would highly recommended this product if you want an iPod connection that charges at the same time. Easy to install and worked perfectly. Instillation was as easy as connecting the two RCA cables to the amp and grounding the Black wire to the Frame. The red (hot) wire I ran through a switch so I could turn it off and it wouldn't drain my battery. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I was shown the EASIEST crêpe recipe recently:
Make a well in 250g of flour
Whisk in 4-5 eggs
Add 500ml milk, continue whisking
Rest for 30mins
No need for oil, warm milk, beer or straining the batter. Just smear a hot pan with some oiled kitchen roll, and add a ladle of batter. Beautiful, thin crêpes every time.

georgia rambler
Wrestling at least 2/3rds of our kids to hold still for a picture before the whole tableau is destroyed.
Cal, Postmaster General of Gift Dispensery.
Mack with one of his favorite gifts: a headlamp. (Other favorite gift: an 8-pack of chapstick. I don't know.)
A rare all-family photo. We are all making unfortunate auto-timer faces (that is to say alternately caught off-guard or expectant) but at least all our eyes are open and no one is moving. I'll take it.
Yeah, so anyway, Christmas was fun. Both Joe and I took a week of vacation the week between Christmas and New Years, and I would say that the decompression from the work week to the vacation week has been acute and disorienting, transitioning from having too much to do to having...well, nothing to do. But again: I'll take it.
Oh, and unrelated to anything, but since I'm rambling (and apparently teeming with parentheticals) anyway, just a pro tip: the very best day to go into the post office to renew your passports is December 23rd, because it's already past the point where people are actually trying to mail Christmas presents (procrastinators non-withstanding, but likely even they've given up and are just ordering gift-certificates to Outback Steakhouse online) and the postal workers are super-efficiency mode, if somewhat (and understandably) grouchy. Cal needed his passport renewed for a trip we'll be taking later this summer (we got his first passport when he was just a few weeks old--in his picture he is propped up on some kind of swing seat and slumped in a pile of drool) and Mack has never had a passport, because barring a well-stocked cabinet of barbiturates (I'll leave it open-ended who would be the recipient of this pharmacologic intervention) no one in their right mind would want to take that kid on an international flight anywhere. However, might I venture the opinion that these two are the cutest passport photos ever taken of anyone, ever?
You wouldn't even be able to guess that I took them in the bathroom, because it's the only room in this house with an actual white (well, beige) wall. Whoever lived here last painted the living room this South Beach tangerine color which I have gradually become inured to, but in the way that people who live near a pork fat rendering plant gradually stop noticing the smell.

I've always wondered how/why agnostics or atheists celebrate Christmas. What do you tell your children about Santa Claus and what the meaning of the holiday is (other than pure unbridled materialism?) I'm not Christian and don't celebrate Christmas because although we have bastardized the holiday into an overly commercial celebration of American excess, I'm not sure what I'd be celebrating other than that, and that doesn't seem like something to celebrate. It is originally a holiday meant to celebrate the birth of one religion's deity; if you don't believe in a deity, what are you celebrating?ReplyDelete
Well, to get technical, I believe originally it was a celebration of the Winter Solstice (that is to say, before there was Christianity) but what we tell our kids is that it's a celebration of family and togetherness and being thankful for all the good things we have. Also there are presents. Like chapstick.ReplyDelete
We recently went and got passport pictures taken for a spring trip and We ended up with the worst ever passport pictures of our kids. I told myself that its ok because no one could possibly take good passport pictures of a 1 year old and a 4 year old. Maybe I should have brought them to your bathroom. We are hoping for post office success on New Years eve.ReplyDelete

Chapstick and a headlamp - sounds like all the bases were covered. Actually, I am a bit envious of the headlamp.ReplyDelete
I did not know you could take your own passport photos. I thought you had to go to some place approved. Stupid me paid $10 at the UPS store and my pic was nowhere as cute.
- Anonymous11:53 AM
The date may have been chosen to correpond with the winter solstice but Christmas at its heart has always been a celebration of the birth of Christ. I think it is such a shame that people who are outright non-believers pick and choose which aspects of the secularized holiday will suit them, and a further shame that these aspects usually have absolutely nothing to do with worship or belief.ReplyDelete
You have a wonderful looking family.ReplyDelete
Enjoy the remaining days of the holidays.
Keep smiling :)

I've started to have some success buying and selling what I've dubbed Mists of Pandaria "Uber" blue items. These are items that were introduced in Mists of Pandaria that require level 80-85 and all have item levels over 400.
These are extremely powerful items and can fetch a premium price. I sell most of these items between 2500g to 6000g.
Due to their rarity one of the best ways I've found to find these items for the price I'm willing to pay (under 300g) is to use TradeSkillMaster Dealfinding Lists. Read on past the jump for TSM-importable lists to help you buy these items as soon as they hit the AH.
Where To Use These Lists
There are a few different ways you can effectively use these Dealfinding Lists to find these items. Each has its own pluses and minuses.
The important part is that you have some way to get alerted when these deals show up. In my experience you might not be the only one getting these alerts and a few times I've logged on to find the item already purchased and flipped for a higher price by a competitor.
You can use these Dealfinding Lists inside TradeSkillMaster itself to scan the auction house in-game. This has the advantage of being able to scan at any time and as often as you want. You can also buy these items immediately after the search finishes.
The disadvantage of searching in-game is if you make your searches too large you may have to wait for long scans and if you are on a busy realm you may miss out on buying them items as you wait for the search to finish.
Also, you can't really be in the game when you're away from your computer.
TradeSkillMaster Application
You can use these lists inside the desktop TradeSkillMaster Application. This is how I currently use the Dealfinding Lists. This allows you to simply play the game or surf the internet or whatever and have the TradeSkillMaster application collect the auction house data directly from Blizzard.
After the TradeSkillMaster Application collects the data from Blizzard it can be set up to automatically check the data for the items on the Dealfinding Lists you've selected the TSM App to check. If it finds a match it will give you a audible alert and change color on your taskbar.
TSM App can also be set to send you an email if the items are found. If you leave your computer on with the TSM Application running while you're away and you get the emails on your phone you can buy items from the Mobile Armory app or the WoW website.
WoWuction.com Broker
You can import these TSM shopping lists directly into WoWuction.com Broker tab. You have to be signed into WoWuction site and also have the server and faction you want to search selected on the site.
Once you're signed in and have the server/faction selected click the "Broker" tab and then select the "Import Rules" tab and you can paste in the lists below and import them. You will import not only the items but also the prices.
Next go to "Manage Rules" and click the envelope icons in the "Mail alert" column to turn on email alerts for each item. When WoWuction does a scan and finds the item for under the price you listed it will send you an alert email to the account you used to sign in to the site.
How The Lists Were Built
I built the lists with a few different tools. I started with this Wowhead filter search that lists all of the "Uber" Blue items with multiple tabs based on item level. (Thanks to @Unholylordk for the search link.)
I copied the entire chart of items and pasted them into SLAGIT and pressed the "SLAGIT NOW!" button. This converts the jumble of Wowhead links into a TSM Shopping List.
I then copied the TSM shopping list text and pasted it into a text editor. There are a few things that you need to do to change a TSM Shopping List into a TSM Dealfinding List.
You can do this by hand or you can select your Shopping List in the TSM Shopping Options and press "Switch Type" button in the "List Management" tab. If you use the "Switch Type" option in TSM you will have to type in the price for each and every item.
I prefer editing the list in a text editor because I can do use tools like search and replace to edit the shopping list into a proper TSM-importable Dealfinding List in a few seconds rather then typing in (or copying and pasting) 300g into little boxes a hundred times.
Editing Shopping Lists Into Dealfinding Lists By Hand
The basics of editing a TSM Shopping List into a Dealfinding List are fairly simple.
- Change the "s" in the beginning to a "d".
- Remove the "$" just before the final "@".
- Include prices after each item ID in Copper. Example: 300g max price would be "/3000000".
- You can use search and replace to search for "," and replace it with something like "/3000000," to add prices to the entire list. You will have to manually add a "/3000000" after the last item number as it doesn't get a price because it doesn't have a "," after it.
With the above steps I can take a Shopping List and convert it to a Dealfinding List in a minute or less.
Here is an example of converting a Shopping List to a Dealfinding List:
Initial list from SLAGIT:
Replace "s" with "d".
Remove "$" at end before @.
Search and replace "," with "/3000000," (highest price = 300g).
Add "/3000000" after last item number so it has a price as well.
Now we have a proper Dealfinding List ready to import. Again it may seem like a lot of steps but it's way less than typing the maximum values next to each item by hand inside TSM after converting the Shopping List into a Dealfinding List.
A Note About The Lists
So, now that I've showed you how you could create your own lists we finally come to the TSM and WoWuction importable shopping lists.
These lists are categorized by Item Level. They have all items max buyout price set to 300g. If you want to change the max price before importing these lists feel free to use search and replace in a text editor to change "3000000" into what ever price you want. Remember to list it in copper.
I like individual lists because they take less time to search for in the AH and therefore more likely to be able to buy the items out that I find.
I do understand some people just like to let one giant list run. For that reason I've also included a "Mega List" at the end that includes all of the Uber Blue Items into one giant list.
Choose one or the other. The individual lists or the Mega List. If you import them all you'll be duplicating work.
The Lists
Copy and paste starting with "d" and end after "@". The parts to import are in Courier font. Do not include the list names.
You might copy the list names when setting the Name in TSM but not as part of the importable lists.
Blue MoP 409
Blue MoP 417
Blue MoP 425
Blue MoP 433
Blue MoP 442
Blue MoP 450
Note: The list below is a collection of all the items included in the lists above. Choose one or the other. Don't use both.
Blue MoP Megalist
I hope these lists are useful. I apologize if the instructions before the lists are a bit stilted. I tried to include brief details to point you in the right direction as to how to use the lists in TSM, TSM App and WoWuction.
The real power or these lists is being able to use them in ways to quickly find them especially with the automatic alerts with TSM App or WoWuction.
If you have any questions please let me know. Happy hunting!

Enjoy the cool convenience of portable air conditioners
Portable air conditioners are growing in popularity because they offer outstanding climate control while reducing energy bills. Cool only the space youre using, and youll keep your energy costs under control throughout the warm months. Portable air conditioners remove gallons of water from the air each day, and the reduced humidity increases your comfort. Choose a portable AC when you want the convenience of moving the unit from room to room on sturdy caster wheels and strong handles. Sears carries a large selection of energy-efficient, quiet and dependable portable ACs, so youll find one with the cooling BTUs and features you want. The features available include remote controls for convenience and drain hoses for continuous operation. Weve got compact, stylish portable air conditioners from Kenmore, Sunpentown, Honeywell and all the other top brands. We carry drain tubes, window kits and adapters to make the installation and use of your portable AC quick and easy.
If you prefer a room air conditioner that doesnt use window space, wall air conditioners from Sears are an ideal choice. Once the opening is made in the wall, a tough and durable sleeve is installed. The wall unit slides into the sleeve for a tight, secure fit. The AC can be quickly removed for the winter or for service. Ductless mini split systems from Sears give you another through-the-wall option for zone and room air conditioning. Take a few minutes to browse the large selection of wall air conditioners at very competitive prices.
Window air conditioners remain popular because they deliver affordable cooling in a range of sizes. Choose a window AC from Sears that is easy to install. Each one comes with flexible wings that expand to ensure a tight, energy-efficient fit. Most window air conditioners are made for windows that open vertically, but we also carry models that can be installed in horizontal sliding windows. Youll find the most trusted brands in the industry including Kenmore, LG and Friedrich. Choose a unit with features you want like a timer, multi-speed fan, adjustable air louvers or remote control.
With the heightened awareness of the need for good indoor air quality, we carry a range of air treatment appliances that remove allergens and other pollutants from the air. Sears also has humidifiers that eliminate the discomforts of dry air. When the quality of the air in your home or office needs improvement, air treatment appliances from Sears are the answer.
