Hello! My name is Amanda and I’m a junior at Umass Lowell. I’m a music education major. I never was that interested in politics but now as I’m getting older I’m finding myself more and more interested.
Is there a book that you know of that is a good intro to politics that isn’t a textbook?
At this point, I also don’t even know what I would be considered, democrat or republican! I need some help! I'm looking for a book that isn't too biased (but of course, bias is almost inevitable..) :-)

Any help is much appreciated!! Thank you so much!!

I have found there is a TON of misunderstanding around reverse mortgages.
1. What do you think a reverse mortgage is?
2. How do you think it works?
3. Why do you think it is good/bad?

You must answer all three to be considered for best answer.

She is scared of getting sick from water down in Cabo. I told her she didnt have too much to worry about as we are in a nice hotel in a very nice area. She still insists on bringing down some poland spring 1.5L bottles in our checked luggage (4-6). Is this allowed on a plane?

I dont want to hear about whether you think it is allowed or not or if you think it is a dumb idea, i want to know if it is allowed...thanks

Today was my first day of summerschool. It was an option for me because I wanted to get my Speech credit out of the way. But that's way beside the point.

My summerschool teacher has tattoos on her wrists with symbols on them. Someone asked what they ment and she said, "Oh it's just a religious thing. Alpha Omega."

Alpha Omega? (sp?)

What is that?

I am going to buy an Alienware Laptop Area 51m-5550. It will cost around 999$, and 1200$ with tax and shipping.. My question is should i buy now, or wait 2 months when school starts so i can maybe get some "promotions" or "discounts". AW team said they do not hold any back to school savings, however, they do around the fall release something new.

-Problem is, my cheap laptop isnt nothing special or one of their prized gaming beasts.. So if they introduce a promotion, it probably wont affect a cheap as it is Alienware laptop like mine. Instead it will target the expensive higher ranked models.

*Am i right and should i buy now,
or ..... (your opinion).......

Thanks in Advance...!!!!!

Inner Strength
If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills,

If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time,
If you can overlook when people take things out on you when,
If through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can do all these things,

Then you are probably the family dog.

[32] Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
[33] And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
[34] And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.
[35] And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.

I'm sickened by this whole blu-ray / HD-DVD war. I know there are some DVD players that have both formats but why should I spend that much money on a new player and new movies when I can simply buy a Upconverting DVD 1080p player with HDMI? I guess my question is will the quality of the unpconvert be as good as the Blu-ray/ HD-DVD versions?

If you roll the "dice" you are rolling 2 or more, but if you're rolling just one, it's a "die" not a "dice."

That's like saying, "I saw a mice!"

"You did? How many?"

"Just one. I saw one mice."

Americans just seem really uneducated as far as language goes. It's like they speak like 5 year old Canadians and never improve.
