Resolved Question: Some luggage, packing and travel help?

I'm going to my first overnight summer camp this summer for a week. It's called Sandy Hill Camp (Sandyhillcamp.com) and i'm 13 years old. There are dances and pools and such and such, so what exactly will i need luggage wise? In the cabins, we don"t have any places to unpack, so we store our suitcases under our beds, which is around 1 foot of space. I'm thinking... - Rolling suitcase - makeup case - jewelery box (it's meant for travel) - http://www.verabradley.com/product/Category/Travel/Trip-Kit/1001018/defaultColor/Call%20Me%20Coral/pc/638/p/1001018/sc/646/c/0.uts---- for brush, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Can you think of anything else to bring? thanks! Oh, and also... What clothes should i bring? The camp is in Maryland, so it's pretty warm in July, around 80 degrees. My classes are Waterskiing, horseback trail ride, giant swing, high ropes, photography, hip hop dance, and zipline. Keep in mind it's a week's worth of clothes, and just the basics will do fine. Thanks! more

Voting Question: Some advice on family issues/relations?

I’m in a bit of a situation. My mom has asked me about some advice on what she should do. I’ll try to keep this short, without omitting major details. She has had a somewhat sour relationship with her stepbrother, “John.” It’s kind of one of those situations where “I’m not going to call you, but I don’t mind seeing you.” My family, less John, has inherited through my mom’s dad, a cabin and 55 acres of land, where we hunt fish and spend time unwinding from city life. Similarly, John has a cabin in deep creek, Maryland with a boat and a place on the lake. He has spent many hunting seasons at our camp in the past, but not once in my lifetime have we been invited to his place in Maryland. He has since had to sell his camp due to relocating to another state. John has now been inviting himself to our camp, and even went so far as to unscrew the lock on the door to let himself in when we weren’t there. Now he is asking for a key to the place, but we confronted him about our tentativeness towards the situation, and how he has never made an effort to include us in his weekends at Maryland. Now it has only lead to a more distant relationship – not that it really matters because we never spoke in the first place. Now the question – should we deny John and his family access to our camp, or should we forget about his negligence towards our family? more

Resolved Question: Can you pleases help me summarize this (10 pts)?

It's Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday, and the nation is throwing a party. The celebration of the 16th president is focused in the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. There, museums, theaters, and other attractions are featuring more than 80 exhibits and programs between January and the end of April. Each event will mark the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth in its own way. The announcement of the celebration was an event in itself. It featured a Lincoln look-alike who interrupted to ask whether there would be cake. "I haven't heard anything about a birthday cake," the look-alike said. Celebration organizers assured him that he would get a slice of his favorite vanilla-almond cake. There would also be a giant birthday card signed by thousands of people around the nation. Lincoln's remarkable life started on February 12, 1809, in a Kentucky log cabin. Growing up on the isolated frontier, Lincoln did not receive more than one year of formal education. He did have a tremendous thirst for knowledge, however. Lincoln went to great lengths to find material to read. Sometimes, he borrowed books from neighbors who lived miles away. As an adult, Lincoln became interested in politics. In the 1840s and 1850s, he spent eight years as a lawmaker in the Illinois state legislature and two years in the U.S. Congress. During this time, he studied the law and eventually became a lawyer. Lincoln spent a great deal of time debating the issues of the day, particularly slavery. By the time Lincoln was elected president in 1860, the nation was bitterly divided over slavery. Lincoln himself opposed slavery. His election victory prompted many states in the South, where slavery was still legal, to leave the Union. In 1861, the American Civil War between the North and the South began. From Lincoln's viewpoint, the purpose of the struggle was to make the nation whole again. His intellect, judgment, and ability to rally others around the cause helped him to successfully navigate the war. On April 9, 1865, the South surrendered. Lincoln set out a plan to heal the nation's deep wounds. He did not get the chance, however. Just days later, he was assassinated. Americans have a chance to reflect on the effect of Lincoln's leadership during the birthday celebration. The events offer something for everyone. In Washington, D.C., the National Museum of American History is displaying a copy of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. In January, the museum opened "Abraham Lincoln: An Extraordinary Life." The exhibit features more than 60 artifacts from the president's life. Another exhibit features documents from the Lincoln Presidential Library in Illinois. One of these documents is a signed copy of the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, in which Lincoln outlawed slavery in the Deep South. Other events honor Lincoln's early life in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. In addition, nearly a dozen cities are hosting discussions on race and equality. Those who attend the birthday events can expect to see Lincoln look-alikes. These actors try their best to copy the president's tall, lanky frame and distinctive features. Officials expect that dozens of look-alikes will flood Washington, D.C. in April. That is the month when the American Association of Lincoln Presenters holds its annual convention in Maryland. Some of the "Lincolns" say they would like a tour of the president's home. "We're hoping the White House is hospitable to some of us 'Lincolns,'" said Dan Storck, a Lincoln actor. "We're hoping for an invitation." more

I am planning a bachelor party for my brother. It needs to have as little rules as possible because we will be doing a good amount of drinking and will probably be making a good amount of noise. We are looking for a place to stay at the weekend. It could be in either PA or in Maryland along the PA border. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Where to Ski/rent a Lodge on the East Coast?!?!?

So I'm a poor college student and me and 5 friends are looking to rent out a cabin and spend 3 days skiing and having fun sometime between December 15th and January 15th. Anyone have any recommendations? We're all located in Virginia, Maryland, or Pennsylvania, and we'd like someplace on the east coast that we could road trip up to. At the moment we've mainly been looking at the Pocono Mountains. Also, it'd have to be somewhat reasonably priced. The cabin would preferably need to house 6 people, but 3-4 is fine as well (we'll just rent out two). Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! more

Resolved Question: {Day 15} BHM Appreciation Thread..Examining the real Uncle Tom?

Now, when we hear "Uncle Tom", we think of a sell-out, a do-gooder..but why? because of a character from an influential tale in american history, who is this person? that's the focal point of today's thread..examining the original Uncle Tom..as always, feel free to leave any comments Josiah Henson was born into slavery on June 15, 1789 in Maryland, and was sold multiple times by the age of 18. In 1830, he had saved up enough money to buy his freedom ($350), but his master told him the price had been raised to $1,000, so he remained enslaved. Due to the feeling of being cheated and rumors of him being sold (which would break up his family), Josiah escaped with his wife and four children to Canada, and he would form a community teaching other ex-slaves how to be farmers. Throughout his life, Henson watched the way masters treated slaves, and he studied their reactions towards different types of behavior. By doing so, he learned that if he was loyal, and provided consistent quality behavior to his master, he’d stay out of trouble and possibly become a better person. Josiah Henson’s autobiography inspired the character of “Uncle Tom” in Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”..the events of his life would also mold a stereotype for some modern day African Americans referred to as an “Uncle Tom”, for basically being too eager to please another race, or selling out. Regardless, if the character Stowe created has been diminished and/or degraded for his inner meaning, the man’s life and legacy will live on..Other facts about the original Tom, he would go on to be a preacher, he was the first Black to appear on a Canadian stamp, and he is the great great uncle of Matthew Henson, who was the first person to reach the North Pole. more
