Justin A. Amash (/əˈmɑːʃ/; born April 18, 1980) is an American attorney, and Republican member of Congress. In January 2011, he began serving as the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 3rd congressional district. The district, based in Grand Rapids, had once been represented by former President Gerald Ford (the district was numbered as the 5th District at the time).
Amash was first elected to the House in the 2010 election. Previously he was a member of the Michigan House of Representatives representing the 72nd District, which is centered on the city of Kentwood and includes his home in Cascade Township as well as the townships of Caledonia and Gaines. At the age of 30, Amash assumed office as the second youngest sitting U.S. Representative, behind 29-year-old Aaron Schock of Illinois. As of January 2016, Amash is the 7th youngest U.S. Representative. He is Chairman of the House Liberty Caucus[2][3][4] and associated with the Tea Party movement.[5][6][7][8]
Amash has expressed interest in running for president in the future.[9][10]

Early life and career
Born in Grand Rapids, and raised in Kentwood, Amash is a second-generation Arab-American of Palestinian Christian and Syrian Greek Orthodox descent.[11] His father, Attallah, is a Palestinian business owner, whose family emigrated to the United States in 1956[12] through the sponsorship of a Christian pastor and his family. His mother, Mimi, is a Syrian immigrant to the United States.[13][14]
Amash attended Kelloggsville Christian School in Kelloggsville and graduated as class valedictorian from Grand Rapids Christian High School. He graduated from the University of Michigan magna cum laude with a B.A. in Economics and earned his J.D. at the University of Michigan Law School in 2005.[14] Amash admires economists F. A. Hayek and Frédéric Bastiat.[15] Amash is married and the father of three children. He belongs to the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch.[16]
After graduating from the University of Michigan, he became a consultant to his family's tool business. He worked as a corporate attorney for his family's business for a year, before being elected to the Michigan House of Representatives in 2008.[17][18]
Michigan House of Representatives
Amash ran for the Michigan House of Representatives in 2008 in Michigan's 72nd House District. During this time, he donated to the campaigns of Congressman Ron Paul and John McCain.[citation needed] In the Republican primary, he won a five candidate election with 41% of the vote, defeating opponent Ken Yonker by 723 votes, a 6.3% margin. The incumbent, Glenn D. Steil, Jr., did not run because of term limits.[19] In the general election, Amash defeated Democrat Albert Abbasse 61%–36%.[20]
During his initial tenure in the State House, Amash sponsored 5 resolutions and 12 bills, but none of them passed.[21] He used his social media Facebook page to report on his floor votes and explain his reasoning. Amash was noted for his attendance record.[22]
U.S. House of Representatives
In its October 25, 2010, issue, Amash was named one of Time magazine's "40 under 40 – Rising Stars of U.S. Politics".[23] At the age of 30, Amash was the youngest federal candidate in the United States on the list of new civic leaders.[15]
On August 3, 2010, Amash won the five-way Republican primary for the seat vacated by retiring Republican Vern Ehlers with over 40% of the vote. He was also endorsed by the Club for Growth,[24] Ron Paul,[25] and FreedomWorks PAC[26] during his primary campaign.
During the general election, Amash campaigned on a conservative platform.[14] Amash defeated Democrat Patrick Miles Jr. 60%–37% in 2010.[27]
Amash won re-election to the U.S. House in 2012 for his second term, defeating Steve Pestka 53%–44%.[28][29]
After initial speculation that he might run for the U.S. Senate, Amash confirmed that he would run for re-election to the House of Representatives in 2014.[30][31] Amash was endorsed by the fiscally conservative Club for Growth PAC, which spent over $500,000 supporting Amash in his Republican primary against former East Grand Rapids School Trustee Brian Ellis, who was endorsed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and spent more than $1 million of his own money on the race.[32][33][34]
After Amash defeated Ellis in the August primary, with 57.4% of the vote to Ellis' 42.6%, Amash was highly critical of Ellis and former congressman Pete Hoekstra, who had backed Ellis. About Hoekstra, Amash said, "You are a disgrace. And I'm glad we could hand you one more loss before you fade into total obscurity and irrelevance." He also took exception to one of Ellis' television ads that quoted California Republican Congressman Devin Nunes calling Amash "Al Qaeda's best friend in Congress," demanding an apology from Ellis for running what he called a "disgusting, despicable smear campaign."[35][36] As Friedersdorf of The Atlantic notes, "Amash voted against the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, favored a measure to repeal indefinite detention, and opposed reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act."[36]
In the general election, Amash defeated Democrat Bob Goodrich and Green Party candidate Tonya Duncan with 58% of the vote.
Amash has been noted for his attendance. Through 2012, he made every congressional vote.[37] Some congressional Republicans have accused Amash of grandstanding.[38]
Amash has tallied a very conservative voting record, which is notable for a district that has traditionally elected moderate Republicans.
Economic issues
Amash supports free markets with limited government regulation. He advocates for economic freedom and believes that stimulus programs and government bailouts are ineffective ways to energize the economy. He also supports adopting a flat tax instead of having targeted tax breaks and subsidies. Amash opposes central economic planning which he believes contributes to unemployment, inflation, and dangerous business cycles.[15] Amash was one of four Republicans who joined 161 Democrats to oppose a Constitutional amendment that would require a yearly balanced budget, due to serious concerns with that specific proposal.[39] Earlier that year, Amash had introduced H.J.Res. 81, an alternative balanced budget amendment that addressed those concerns.[40] He believes that the federal government is improperly expanding its powers using the General Welfare, Commerce, and Necessary and Proper clauses.
Foreign affairs
Amash supports decreasing U.S. military spending, and believes there is significant waste in the military spending of the U.S. Department of Defense.[41] He believes that only Congress has the power to declare war, criticizing President Obama's attacks on the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and his contemplated attack on Syria without Congressional approval.[42][43]
In 2011, Amash was one of only six congressmen who voted "Nay" on House Resolution 268 reaffirming the US commitment to a negotiated settlement of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict through direct Israeli–Palestinian negotiation, which passed with 407 members in support.[12][44] In 2014, he was one of only eight congressmen who voted "Nay" on a $225 million package to restock Israel's Iron Dome missile defenses, which passed with 398 members in support.[45] He supports a two-state solution to the Palestinian–Israeli conflict.[12]
Amash joined 104 Democrats and 16 Republicans in voting against the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which specified the budget and expenditures of the US Department of Defense.[46] He called it "one of the most anti-liberty pieces of legislation of our lifetime".[47] Amash co-sponsored an amendment to the NDAA that would ban indefinite military detention and military trials so that all terror suspects arrested in the United States would be tried in civilian courts. He expressed concern that individuals charged with terrorism could be jailed for prolonged periods of time without ever being formally charged or brought to trial.[48]
On March 14, 2016, Amash joined a unanimous majority in the House to approve a resolution declaring that ISIS is committing genocide against religious minorities, including Christians, in the Middle East (passed 383-0), but joined Representatives Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) and Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) in voting "Nay" on a separate measure creating an international tribunal to try those accused of atrocities by ISIS, the Assad regime, and other groups (passed 392-3).[49]
Domestic policy
Amash was the only representative from Michigan to oppose federal aid in response to the Flint water crisis.[50]
Security and surveillance
Amash is a frequent critic of the National Security Agency's anti-terrorism surveillance tactics.[13][51][52]
Health care
He believes health insurance should not be mandatory, and he supports free market health care reforms that include interstate competition among insurance companies and increased access to health savings accounts.[15] He considers the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to be an overreach of the federal government's powers and supports efforts to repeal it.
Amash wants decreased federal intervention in energy-related issues. He wants to eliminate government-sponsored subsidies for energy production and decrease overall regulation. He believes that no form of energy production should be specially favored or restricted. In addition, Amash supports minimizing federal environmental regulations. He voted in favor of the Energy Tax Prevention Act of 2011 which would have prevented the EPA from putting taxes on greenhouse gases.[53]
Social issues
Amash is considered pro-life, and generally opposes abortion and the use of federal funding for abortion.[54] He supports a repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act as per his Twitter account, stating that the "real threat" to traditional marriage and religious liberty is government, and not gay couples.[54][55] Although Amash opposes government funding for abortion, he voted "present", rather than "yes" or "no" on the 2011 Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, a bill that would defund Planned Parenthood. He explained, "Legislation that names a specific private organization to defund (rather than all organizations that engage in a particular activity) is improper and arguably unconstitutional".[56] When the New York Times asked him to explain his approach to voting on legislation, he replied, "I follow a set of principles, I follow the Constitution. And that's what I base my votes on. Limited government, economic freedom, and individual liberty."[56]
He endorsed Ron Paul for President in 2012. Paul's brother, David, was an assistant pastor in Amash's district and endorsed Amash, saying the Michigan congressman shares common ground with Paul. He has also endorsed Senator Rand Paul for president in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries.[38][57] Since Rand Paul's departure from the 2016 Republican Primary, Amash has endorsed Senator Ted Cruz in his bid for the presidency.[58]
Marijuana legalization and forfeiture
Amash and Ted W. Lieu (D) introduced a bill[59] to block the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) from financing its Cannabis Eradication Program through civil asset forfeitures.[60] Under this Program around $18[61] million have been collected in 2013. Amash took aim at civil asset forfeiture in a statement; It allows for "innocent people to have their property taken without sufficient due process."[62]
Committee assignments
- Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
- United States Congress Joint Economic Committee
The House Republican Steering Committee removed Amash from the Budget Committee in late 2012 as part of a larger party leadership-caucus shift.[63][64] He joined Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and David Schweikert of Arizona in a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner, demanding to know why they had lost their "plum" committee posts.[65] A spokesperson for Republican Congressman Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia said that Amash, Huelskamp and Schweikert were removed for "their inability to work with other members." Politico described the action as "the first members pulled off committees as punishment for political or personality reasons in nearly two decades".[66][67]:p.2

Representative Justin Amash, a Michigan Republican, is one of the most important civil libertarians in the House of Representatives. He isn't just a staunch opponent of the NSA's mass surveillance of Americans—he actually has a sophisticated understanding of surveillance policy (unlike the vast majority of his congressional colleagues) as well as a record of bringing forth actual reform proposals. / Amash voted against the reauthorization of the Patriot Act, favored a measure to repeal indefinite detention, and opposed reauthorization of the FISA Amendments Act. Little wonder that an ACLU staffer told Mother Jones that he's 'a game changer.'<templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css"></templatestyles>

President Obama faces increasing pressure from lawmakers, foreign-policy experts, constitutional scholars, and anti-war activists to refrain from striking Syria. Opponents of war worry that an insular group of hawkish Washington, D.C., elites will succeed in prompting an intervention the consequences of which they cannot anticipate, despite widespread public opposition to U.S. involvement. The concerns of Syria anti-interventionists vary, but all agree that the president should not unilaterally decide to attack tyrant Bashar al-Assad's regime, even granting that recent chemical weapons attacks on civilians were atrocious.<templatestyles src="Module:Citation/CS1/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Human Rights and Social Justice Research Cluster
This multi-disciplinary strand undertakes research into the theoretical and normative foundations of human rights and investigates how human rights can advance social justice. It brings together philosophers, lawyers and other human rights researchers and combines work on the nature, function and reach of human rights with investigation of their practical implementation. Researchers in this strand work on a range of human rights issues of contemporary importance. These include equality for vulnerable individuals and disenfranchised social groups, poverty, migration, detention and access to justice.
Current Projects
Forensic Ecologies: States of War, Biopolitics of the More-Than-Human, Justice
Joseph Pugliese
Monograph: forthcoming Edinburgh University Press
Summary: Forensic Ecologies refracts the concept of the biopolitical through a non-anthropocentric frame in order to disclose the more-than-human entities that are also the targets of armed conflict. Focusing on the occupied Palestinian territories, the US drone killing fields of South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, and Guantánamo, the book challenges Euro-anthropocentric law's dogma of human exceptionalism. In the context of states of war, trees, rocks, animals and water offer forensic testimonies that articulate a call for ecological justice. Situated in the global anthropocenic crisis, the book contends that ecological justice offers the foundational ground for all other modalities of justice.
Deathscapes: Mapping Race and Violence in Settler States (2016 - 2018)
Joseph Pugliese, Sherene Razack, Jonathan Inda, and Marianne Franklin.
ARC Discovery Project (2016 - 2018). Awarded $440,000.
Summary: This research seeks new ways to document, understand and respond to the critical issue of racialised deaths in sites of state custody such as police cells, prisons and immigration detention centres. It brings together a cross-disciplinary and transnational team from four countries to examine the conditions under which Indigenous and border-related deaths occur, and to explore how legal and social accountability for them is assigned. Moving away from individual national contexts, it seeks to identify and map, at global as well as local levels, the shared institutional practices, technologies and explanatory frameworks that characterize custodial deaths in the key settler states of Australia, Canada and the United States. Lead CI: Professor Suvendrini Perera, Curtin University. Partner Investigators are Professor Sherene Razack, University of California, Los Angeles; Professor Jonathan Inda, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne; Professor Marianne Franklin, Goldsmiths College, University of London.
A Relational Theory of Procedural Justice (2017)
Denise Meyerson, Catriona Mackenzie, and Therese MacDermott
ARC Discovery Project (2017). Awarded: $207,000
Summary: This project aims to develop a relational theory of procedural justice, based on the quality of interactions between individuals and legal authorities. Just procedures maintain the public's trust in the legal system, but lawyers and philosophers have not studied what makes legal procedures morally justifiable. The project will use empirical studies about the public's understanding of procedural justice to enrich the normative analysis and demonstrate the value of the theory in the practical setting of tribunal proceedings. This research is expected to contribute to theoretical and practical debates about how to improve legal procedures.
Completed projects
Law, Morality and Risk
Denise Meyerson
Summary: The traditional response of the law to harmful conduct is backwards-looking: liability is imposed on the basis of past conduct. Increasingly, however, the law is being used to prevent conduct which poses a future risk of harm. On this forwards-looking approach, the rights and liberties of individuals are restricted not because of what they have done in the past but purely because of what they might do in the future. The aim of this project is to investigate the moral, political and human rights issues which attend such coercive preventive measures. It will propose an ethical and rights-respecting framework to guide policymakers in this area.
The Impact of Human Rights Legislation in Australia
Denise Meyerson and Simon Rice
Macquarie University Research Development Grant
Summary: This project contributes to the development of law and public policy in the field of human rights. The impetus behind it is the notable absence of information in countries which have enacted bills of rights as to whether they make a difference and even how one might tell. Since Australia is at the beginning of this process, and since the need for human rights legislation is a subject of national debate, the aim of this project is to assess the extent to which recent human rights legislation in the ACT and Victoria has increased respect for human rights. Target areas are courts and tribunals, public debate, lawyers and civil society organisations. The findings will be used to make submissions to current inquiries into human rights legislation.

In 2010 I purchased my first designer planner. The Erin Condren Life Planner was in it's very early years of production. I fell in love and started using my paper planner daily to keep my life organized. In 2013 I decided to share my planner on YouTube. Since then I have continued to share my planning hobby. The planning community on social media has exploded and it is an amazing thing to be a small part of. Live Laugh Plan is my Instagram account that is purely planner related photos and content. My planner videos on YouTube are published every Sunday! Below are some frequently asked planner questions….
What Planner Do You Use?
I like to switch it up. I think I just love so many things about so many different planners that it's hard to pick "just one". So here are my current TOP 3.
Kikki-K A5 Ring Bound Planner with Sew Much Crafting Inserts. While I haven't tried all the ring bound planner options, I LOVE the kikki-k. The price point and quality are just my style. Inside I fill the binder with inserts from Sew Much Crafting on Etsy. Danielle is incredible, and the paper she using is simply the best on the market. CLICK HERE to visit Kikki-K. To Find Sew Much Crafting Inserts CLICK HERE
Erin Condren Life Planner. I have such a love hate relationship with this company. I have been a customer for 7+ years and have seen them grow, change, struggle, and thrive. I love the products, however always seem to have issue with quality control. Customer service always comes through and makes it right. My newest obsession is the newly released 8 1/2 x 11 hardbound vertical planner. Also the planner accessories this site offers are AMAZING! For 10$ off your first Erin Condren Order SIGN UP HERE.
Simplified Planner. This was my new planner pick for 2017. The calendar doesn't begin until August, so I have to wait to see if it will work for me. I went with the daily version. The paper quality is good, the themes within the planner are so well thought out, and it is very motivating. I can't wait to try this out and share my thoughts! CLICK HERE to see this gorgeous collection!
Isn't It Expensive Buying All That Planner Stuff?
I look at planning as a hobby that I LOVE. Just like sewing or knitting, or handbag collecting. I don't go overboard, and only purchase things that I love. Also full disclosure, a lot of companies have referral programs anyone can join, so products are free with the credits I earn. I occasionally also work this brands to share products, but of course will always let you know if that's the case!
How Do You Keep Up With More Than One Planner?
I don't. I really only use one planner at a time. the only exception is I may have a desk planner for my YouTube content as well. I also find that when life gets hectic I struggle with continuing to write in my planner. It's all about finding a balance that works!
What Are Your Favorite Etsy Shops?
I am a loyal shopper! I only have a handful of favorites because I only purchase from these shops.
Sew Much Crafting : Planner Inserts – SHOP
Martha Plans : Planner Dividers – SHOP
Planner Kate : Planner Stickers – SHOP
Krissyanne Designs : Planner Stickers – SHOP
Lilly Henry : Planner Stickers (The school set is my favorite) – SHOP

In this sexy number from the Proms, she wows the audience and orchestra, who enthusiastically play up to her teasing, pretending to fight over the roses she throws out as she dances and ... migosh! sings! If you can tear your attention away from the gorgeous voice and sexy sashaying hips, look out for the gentleman in a white coat who dramatically snatches the tossed roses away from his neighbour in nautical uniform.
The Proms are short for Promenade Concerts. It was a fashionable thing from the eighteenth century onwards to walk around your local pleasure gardens, listening to jolly music being played as you gossiped with people you met. Nowadays, Proms usually means a concert where some of the tickets are sold cheaply to people willing to sit or stand on the floor near the orchestra to hear the music. It's become sort of shorthand for 'this will be more of a larf, and we will not take ourselves too seriously'. In this relaxed atmosphere you sometimes get music that really does its thing, especially at the famous Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. On the 'Last Night' of the Royal Albert Hall Proms people come dressed up and they wave flags and have a great night out. Netrebko's wonderful performance here, which shows so well how the magic of music is produced between the performers and the audience, is from a Last Night of the Proms in the 2007 season.
When I was a London babe, I used to go to the Proms sometimes. My housemates and I (we were all lovely lesbians, BTW, lol), used to catch a routemaster bus down to Kensington and queue in the sunny afternoons for the cheap tickets. We would sit on the pavement round the big round building of the Royal Albert Hall, reading and chatting and fetching coffees for each other, before getting to go and hear wonderful music at a price we could afford. One time, a piece by one of the few women classical composers was being played and one of the few women conductors was conducting it - and she came on in a tailcoat with a cummerband and we were so excited to see her dressed up butch! LOL.

David Minto, 22, has been charged with the murder of 16-year-old Sasha Marsden in Blackpool, Lancashire Constabulary said on Sunday night.
Minto, of Kirby Road, Blackpool, will appear at Blackpool Magistrates' Court on Monday.
Miss Marsden was found in a rear alley behind Kirby Road in the South Shore area of the resort on Thursday night.
Sasha was savagely attacked last Thursday
She had been repeatedly stabbed in the head and face before attempts were made to set her body on fire.
A spokesman for Lancashire Constabulary said: "Tonight, the Crown Prosecution Service has authorised Lancashire Constabulary to charge a man with the murder of Sasha Marsden.
"David Minto, 22, of Kirby Road, Blackpool has been charged with murder and has been remanded into custody to appear before Blackpool Magistrates' Court tomorrow morning.
"The family have been informed of the latest development and specially trained officers continue to offer them support."
Tonight Miss Marsden's family laid flowers at the scene where her body was found. They later left without comment.
In a statement issued through Lancashire Constabulary, her parents Gary, 40, and Jayne, 45, from Staining, Blackpool, said: "No words can express how we feel. Our beautiful daughter has been taken from us.
"She was a loving daughter, sister, granddaughter, great granddaughter, auntie, niece, cousin and girlfriend. She was very much loved and her loss has left a huge gap in all our lives, a gap that can never be filled.
"Sasha was your typical teenager, a fun-loving girl who enjoyed spending time with her friends and boyfriend, with her parents being last on the list unless she wanted something or needed a lift somewhere.
"We would ask that we be left alone in private to allow us to come to terms with losing our beautiful precious daughter."
Other heartfelt tributes were paid to the Blackpool and The Fylde College childcare student by her siblings.
Her brother, Mark Brett, 24, said: "She was my little sister and I was so proud of her going to college to do her child care course.
She will be missed by all her family and friends."
Sister Katie Brett, 21, said: "She is a gorgeous little lady and knows how to make an impression and when you meet her, you would never forget her. She was an expert wind-up merchant and although you might be annoyed with her, you couldn't stay mad with her for long."
Another sister, Gemma Aitchison, 26, said: "Cheeky, friendly and stubborn are all things that make Sasha as special as she is and make her overcome anything. She is a beautiful sister and a wonderful and caring aunty too."
Brother Thomas Nicholl, 21, said: "Sasha was an adorable little sister and was never afraid to put her opinions across no matter what the situation was. She always knew how to make us smile, especially after winding us up. She gave the most amazing cuddles and we will miss her so much."
Passers-by were reported to have thought the body was a shop dummy that was burning in Kirby Road in the resort's South Shore area.
A 20-year-old woman arrested on Thursday night was released without charge.

Blown Away
Publisher's Summary
In an emotionally charged, wickedly hot novel of love and loss, a passionate affair gives two daring storm chasers the strength to overcome shattered dreams and the courage to build a future together.
One year after her fiancé died in a heartbreaking accident, Drew McGovern decides to honor his memory by joining his old storm-chasing buddies on their latest excursion. What she's not so sure about, however, is whether she's ready to move on. Drew wasn't expecting to feel the powerful pull of desire toward Colby's best friend. But there's no denying the intensity of their connection...or the heat he inspires in the parts of her that are still very much alive.
Aiden O'Neal doesn't trust himself around Drew. He's wanted this girl for a long time - long enough to remember the stab of jealousy he felt the first time he saw her in Colby's arms. Now he's trying his best to behave himself. But when the wind starts blowing and the adrenaline starts pumping, Aiden can't resist the urge to claim Drew as his own. Because when it comes to desire, he's hoping to make lightning strike twice.

Great Story.....not so great in audio
The narrator that was chosen sounded way to old for the characters age and it was really disappointing because it distracted from the story. I might have enjoyed the story more had I not listened

Blown Away Indeed❤
Imagine you are happily engaged to be married. A wonderful life ahead of you and in a blink of a moment it all is taken away from you. This is what's happening to Drew. Everything is taken from her, relying on her friends to make it through a very hard time. Then an opportunity comes along to good to pass up. Not only is she chasing storms but little does she know she will also be chasing happiness. The one that could make that possible is Aiden. Dealing with his own experiences from his past he doesn't fell like he is the right one for Drew. He's a one night kinda guy, doesn't snuggle, doesn't do long term, so clearly he isn't the right man for Drew. What will it take for him to admit to his feelings for her? Will Drew find happiness again?
This is a wonderful entertaining sexy story about two people who are destined to be together but just don't know it yet. I loved the characters. Loved the excitement, the drama and the sexual chemistry between Drew and Aiden. Another five star story by Brenda Rothert. A definite recommend.
I loved the narrators. They truly give you the feels for the characters.

LOVE the story but ...
Would you try another book from Brenda Rothert and/or Kate Udall and Kaleo Griffith ?
I will certainly try another Brenda Rothert book but I probably own't ever listen to another Kate Udall and Kaleo Griffith audio book again!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved Drew and Aiden
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kate Udall and Kaleo Griffith ?
I would NEVER cast these two to narrate a romance book ... I couldn't stand listening to either of them read this book! it tool everything I had to get through the entire thing. The Characters are younger but Kate's voice is more suited to the old women in the story (sadly she made every single character sound about 70 yrs old ... which was ok for Dot, she's 71!!! ) She has a old lady warble in her voice and her voice is deeper like an older woman's and you could hear it in every single character. it was awful to listen to ... the sex scenes were cringe worthy read by her! Kaleo Griffith wasn't terrible, I am just not sure he's romance (reading sex scenes was cringe worthy ... I felt weird-ed out... I wanted to turn it off) Hiis voice tended to be boring and i hated listening but I might try another book read by him to see if it was just this kind of story that was not right.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes ... I loved this story
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend the book but not the audio

Archive for January, 2015
It has been awhile since I blogged, but, rest assured that I have continued to be engaged in my battle against the IRS, the Department of Justice, and the Courts. To all of you who have followed my struggle, and offered advice and support, I appreciate your efforts more than you know.
Having lived through this experience for so many years has brought me to the point where I believe, more than ever, that "We the People" should never live in fear of our government, and I believe many of you believe the same is true. After all, this was the intent of the Founding Fathers when they wrote the U.S. Constitution, which, at its heart, was designed to limit the jurisdiction and power of the Federal government.
I also believe that, as long as the Corporate and Individual Income Taxes exist, "We the People" will never be truly free.
So, after much research, I discovered a way to bring about a peaceful, Constitutional, "21st Century American Revolution", and have written a plan to implement it with one stroke of a pen. Not just any pen, mind you. The Presidential pen.
To implement this plan, I will be the American Citizen Party candidate for President of the United States in 2016. My mission is to lead ALL American citizens, and businesses, in the greatest act of civil disobedience in modern American history – a revolt against filing Federal income tax returns and/or paying the Federal income tax.
At 1:00pm Eastern Time on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2017, I will sign the "Proclamation of Freedom", which protects ALL Americans from harm by invoking the exclusive power of the Presidential pardon, granted in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution.
From that moment forward, Congress will fund a smaller, Constitutionally-limited Federal government by reverting to the taxing methods used from 1788 to 1913, "indirect" and "direct" taxes, as described in Article I, Sections 8 and 9, of the U. S. Constitution.
Then, from a position of power, I will negotiate with Congress to pass the "Economic Freedom Act", which lists twelve (12) laws that, when repealed, will result in the following:
~ 320+ million free Americans bringing home 100% of their earnings to spend, save, invest and give away, as they choose;
~ The injection of $2+ Trillion into our struggling economy from the bottom up, instead of from the top down, which has been, and always will be, a failed economic policy;
~ The return to American shores of $3 Trillion in offshore corporate capital to revive manufacturing, expand businesses, and create millions of sorely-needed jobs;
~ The elimination of the fear, threats, and intimidation against ALL Americans by the IRS;
~ A Federal government constrained by the "enumerated powers" listed in Article I Section 8 and with a budget less than $2 Trillion;
~ A GDP that will take off like a rocket, making the United States of America, once again, the world's economic powerhouse.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Well, it's not. In fact, I have presented this plan to approximately 40 million people, in 61 interviews, on talk radio stations all over America, and no one has been able to find any fault with its logic or execution.
These are revolutionary times in America. Congressional approval is below 10%. President Obama's policies have weakened our nation and infringed upon our liberties with unconstitutional laws and executive orders. The Democrat and Republican Presidential candidates who are currently being "selected" for us by the media will offer no plan as powerful as the one I describe to you in this post. That's because not one of them has any intention of restoring our freedoms. Their only intent is to obtain power, and remain in office, for as long as they can.
So, why am I writing this?
This is a "call to action".
I call on all of you who want to experience liberty and prosperity, at a level no American has known for more than 100 years, to do the following:
1) Go to www.BobMcNeilForPresident.com and read about the plan. Also, take some time to read my biography and review my personal documents. I have posted my birth certificate, school report cards, high school diploma, Marine Corps documents and discharge, college transcript, college diploma, and many other documents. Everything is there for the world to see.
Couple those documents with the fact that I have more than 35 years of experience auditing multi-billion dollar domestic and international companies, and I think you will reach the conclusion that I meet, and exceed, all of the qualifications to hold the office of President of the United States.
2) Go to www.AmericanCitizenParty.us and do the the following:
- Click the "Join Now" button and make a commitment to get involved in my plan to restore America to it Constitutional principles;
- Click "Donate" to help provide financial support to grow the American Citizen Party into an organization with a presence in all fifty states;
- Spread the word by sharing this blog through all of your social media contacts.
3) "Like" the American Citizen Party page on Facebook .
4) "Follow" me on Twitter .
5) Join my network on LinkedIn .
Doing these things will ensure that you will stay informed as I lead America in the "21st Century American Revolution" in 2015 and 2016.
6) Run for Congress in 2016 as an American Citizen Party candidate. Contact me by email at [email protected] so we can set up a time to discuss this by telephone.
This is a solid, infallible plan that will only fail if continue to vote for Democrat or Republican Presidential candidates, or worse, if you do nothing.
For yourself, your family, and future generations of Americans, I call upon you to take action.
I pray that you will.
Thank you, and, may God bless you.
In liberty,
Bob McNeil

2016 Presidential Candidate

Lately, I've been overloading on Omega-3's, because I don't think I was getting enough before. It's difficult to get as a vegan, so many soy products are fortified. Take those out of your diet and you're not left with many options. My suggestions include flax oil, milled flax seed, walnuts, and nutrition bars. I sneak milled flax seed into my cereal, sanwiches, even entrees. The taste is barely there, its low-fat and inexpensive. With 3-4 tablespoons of milled flax seed everyday, I am ingesting more than the recommended amount of around 1.5g (wikipedia). I think this is a good idea for the following reasons:
Omega-3's play a significant role in brain function because they are a major component of the brain--8 percent!--mostly in myelin sheaths. Recent research suggests that an increased intake of Omega-3's can help with depression, anxiety, and other mental issues like autism. (wikipedia)
Omega-3's are potentially beneficial for so many other conditions as well--circulation, cholesterol, etc.
I can tell the difference already in the condition of my hair and skin. My hair started behaving so much better--silky soft and not frizzy--just over a week after I started supplementation. Also, I have less dry skin, though this could be the weather. Still, I am encouraged by the obvious physical benefits.
Getting Omega-3's from plant sources is much safer than from animal products, for reasons all good vegans should be familiar with (growth hormones, mercury...). I would recommend adding a little flax seed to your diet, even if you aren't veg. Only the milled stuff though, as the whole seeds will not digest.

One thing I like to do is get the whole flax seeds and grind them in either a blender or coffee grinder — depending on what's available. (You can grind a little bit ahead of time, but it's best to do it right before you use them.)
Also, it's good to store the flax seeds in the fridge, as that helps preservation.

Hi, this is unrelated but i couldn't find a way to contact you directly. do you know of any vegan chocolate that doesn't have soy lecithin? it's pretty impossible for me to find

Be careful chopping up your own spices, though, as unsuspecting friends do not like cumin-flavoured coffee, although I didn't hate it.
I wonder how many omega-3's Clif bars have, as, owing in large part to their ridiculous convenience, they make up about 30% of my diet right now. I know, I know, but working 70+ hours a week doesn't exactly leave much time for cooking. O, the American Way.
I wonder if the smoking point of flax seed oil would make it a candidate for mixing with, say, olive, to fry up some veggies or toss with a salad or something...have to check Wikipedia. (...which my mother asserts is not a accurate source, which of course pegs her as a complete imbecile when it comes to understanding the internet. See the time that she called the cable company when I was too lazy to plug the ethernet cord back in and left it strewn about the computer chair.)
Anywho. Date soon?
- 26 June, 2008 11:46
hahah, i dunt worry about omega-3s one bit. I think it's out there to scare us folks, like with the whole "B12" (bull**** 12) and protein (pro-paganda-tein) propaganda out there.
I simply eat less, and eat if I need to eat, even lots of fruits, and I am just fine.

I love to sneak flax into things! I've also started using chia, which is even higher in Omega-3 than flax. It's pretty cheap, too.
I just ran across your blog while googling for soy-free vegan recipes. I'll be reading you! If it's of any interest, I just started my own blog for soy-free vegan recipes. http://sanssoyvegan.wordpress.com
I'll add you to my links there!

Good news! Microsoft has announced that users of Windows 7, Windows 8.1 or Windows Phone 8.1 will be eligible for free Windows 10 upgrade.
The offer will be available in a span of one year once the final build of the operating system is released on July 29.
Windows 10 will work across devices, from desktop to laptop computers, to tablets and smartphones. Various online sources say it has the so-called Continuum feature which allows the user interface to change depending on the type of device being used.
|Credits to blogs.windows.com
Engadget reports that new features include a button that brings the Start Screen to full-screen, revamped Settings and Photos applications, a notification center, and the voice-controlled assistant Cortana built into the PC.
Mail and Calendar have also been tweaked on Windows 10 for smartphones. There's a universal Photos app for all devices and Skype and Messaging have been integrated. The Verge reports that users can SMS and Skype within the same thread, and switch between these apps easily.
More features have been unveiled including a holographic headset that the company said would project Windows 10 over views of the real world. Take a look of what's coming in the following videos:
Windows 10 was first presented at the Build Conference in April 2014 and unveiled to world knowledge five months later. It is scheduled to be launched on July 29, free of charge for the first twelve months.

I have a custom rimless 20g long that was made by a builder in Augusta, GA. Tank was made this year and holds water. It's made with extra thick glass and much heavier than a standard 20L. I also have a brand new in the box LED light bar for it. I'll sell the light bar and tank for $60 both. If you want the stand (Walmart book case), i'll sell it for an additional 20. I'm trying to downsize a bit as I start the new year.

Standardized testing is a hot topic in Texas and around the world. The tests are put in place to assess whether or not students are retaining the information they are learning in the classroom.
The state of Texas has required students to take state mandated tests ever since 1980 when the TABS test was implemented. Texas began using the TEAMS test in 1986. In 1990, they changed to the TAAS tests. In 2003, the state started using the TAKS test. Students have been taking the STAAR test since the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year.
As a student who had to take standardized tests including the TAAS and TAKS tests, I understand the arguments against them. There are students who have trouble taking tests. So when you require them to pass these tests in order to advance to the next grade, or even graduate for that matter, it can be a lot of pressure.
I do believe that these tests help to see if students are retaining the information. I just think that they need to be tweeked. There has to be a better way to go about it.
I think if the stakes were lowered, the students would benefit more from taking these tests. It would put less pressure on them, and the results might even improve. If a student does poorly on one of the tests, then the educators know what information they are retaining and what they need to spend more time on.
I am sure I am not the first to propose this solution. There would still be problems if there was nothing at stake. At some point, students would stop taking the tests seriously. This would obviously skew the results. I believe this problem would mainly occur with older students. I do not think the younger students do not truly understand the importance of these tests when they take them every year.
When it comes down to it, there is no doubt in my mind that something needs to be done about the standardized tests in the state of Texas and the U.S. for that matter. I just hope that students can reep the benefits of them without feeling the pressures the tests bring.

This article will focus on: what is tested in the MCAT, how are the questions asked, how is it scored?
Just in case you guys didn't know, the MCAT is the medical college admissions test and its pretty much THE test you need to take in order to apply to medical school in the US (exceptions are to some international schools).The MCAT requires you to have a basic understanding of the sciences (General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Biology) and it requires that you have a good reading comprehension. Oh, you'll also need to know how to write!
The test IS multiple choice, but it is NOT like a regular multiple choice. The questions are often tied up to a passage. This means that a passage (literally 4-5 paragraphs of stuff) is presented. From this passage and your basic knowledge, you need to derive with the equations as well as a way to answer the questions preceding the passage. It is kind of like a reading comprehension with science terms. Of course, you're not a doctor yet, so the passages will never be anything that requires you to diagnose the problem. Then, there are some questions that are not attached with a passage.
In the verbal section questions are always pertaining to the passage. There are no analogies nor fill in the blanks. It is straight up, read and answer the questions pertaining to what you just read. To me, this verbal section is the easiest to do on the exam since the answer is right there in front of you. To practice for it, I would have to say – lots of practice!
Er go…
(based from American Medical College Application Service)
Physical Sciences – 70 mins for 52 questions (scored 1-15)
Verbal (Reading Comprehension) – 6o mins for 40 questions (scored 1-15)
Writing – two 30 min essays (scored J-T, with T being highest)
Biological Sciences – 70 mins for 52 questions (scored 1-15)
You will have a 10 min break or so in between these sections. You can get a free practice test #3 through the AAMC website.
How is it scored?
Like any other standardized test, your results are deeply reflected among those who took the test on that day.
The average, according to Kaplan is 24 (8 per section), with no indication of the standard deviation.

What Makes Evolution of Smooth the best Lip Balm Product?
Lip balm is one of the most sold cosmetic products in the world today, more and more people are applying it daily to their lips to ensure they don't dry up and end up cracking. Various companies have been dealing with manufacturing of lip balm to meet the customers' demands. However, some of the companies produce better quality lip balms than others, and that's why they are always leading in sales.
Lips is a part of the body with the thinnest skin. Whenever it's hot, and there is little humidity in the atmosphere, the first part to be affected are the lips. They quickly lose the moisture in them and dry up. Applying a petroleum jelly on your lips will prevent the lips from drying up but using a lip balm is recommended. Usually, the lip bum is made from beeswax, and it is processed and added some flavors.
A lot of lipsticks brands has been on the market but for quite a while but one of the most prominent brands is the Evolution of Smooth or EOS. The product hit the market in 2009, and they have made it to the bestselling lipstick in the country. EOS lip balm is has been ranked forth as one on the list of the products that millennial love and use. They have defeated some of the pre-existing brands like Chapstick, Blistex and Burt's and Bees.
Some of the key factors that contributed to the growth of the brand to become of the bestselling lip balm in the United States are quality, unique packaging which seems so attractive and partnering with stars who has influence among the lip balm users. Among the stars the brand worked with is Miley Cyrus. EOS branding is easily recognizable as there are no other lip balms come packed in round packaging. These products are available online thru eBay and Ulta.

Diagnostic nuclear medicine
Source: Technical University of Munich, Clinic and Policlinic of Nuclear Medicine, Klinikum rechts der Isar
Patients in diagnostic nuclear medicine are given radioactive pharmaceuticals (radiopharmaceuticals) accumulating in organs and tissues in varying concentrations, depending on the pharmacological properties of the compound administered. Due to their radioactivity, the spatial and time distribution of the radiopharmaceutical in the body is detectable using proper measuring equipment, and thus can be visualised.
Which technology is used?
Basically there are three different technologies:
- conventional scintigraphy
two tomography procedures:
- positron emission tomography (PET)
- single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT).

When are diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures applied?
Diagnostic nuclear medicine enables almost all organ systems of man to be examined. It provides information on the function of organ systems in question as to both general dysfunctions (for example renal function scintigraphy) and localised foci in individual organs (for example, detection of foci of inflammation). Diagnostic nuclear medicine is a valuable extension of so-called morphologic imaging procedures used to visualise the form and structure of organs or tissues under examination (for example, X-ray diagnostics).
How often are diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures applied?
The annual mean number of nuclear medicine examinations carried out in Germany between 2010 and 2014 was about 3 million, corresponding to a mean annual frequency of applications of about 34 examinations per 1,000 inhabitants. Thyroid and skeleton scintigraphy were the most frequent examinations. The mean annual effective dose per inhabitant and year was about 0.1 millisievert (mSv).
Three procedures predominate
The following three procedures contribute most to the total frequency of nuclear medicine examinations as well as to the associated collective effective dose, that is, scintigraphy of
- the thyroid gland,
- the skeleton, and
- the heart (see figure above).
Note that in the figure, scintigraphies of the heart during rest and during exercise are counted separately, even if they are performed in the course of one examination (during one day or two consecutive days).
Mean effective dose per procedure
Averaged over all examinations carried out, the mean effective dose per procedure is 2.4 mSv. Thyroid scintigraphy is most frequently used and is associated with a quite low mean effective dose of 0.9 mSv per examination. Renal examinations are relatively frequently applied in children, and are also characterized by low radiation exposure (0.7 mSv per examination). Adding the doses for scintigraphies of the heart during rest and during exercise, the resulting dose is relatively high: ca. 8 mSv per examination.
Comparison with radiation exposure from diagnostic radiology
Nuclear medicine examinations are considerably less frequent than X-ray examinations. The mean effective dose per caput from diagnostic nuclear medicine, therefore, is relatively low compared with the mean per caput effective dose from diagnostic X-rays amounting to 1.6 mSv per inhabitant in 2014.
