My grandmother has a light bulb in it's original packaging which was a box and it came with a coupon that offered another free light bulb. The coupon is dated 1961. Everything looks new, like it wasn't even touched. Does anyone know if this item has any value?

I would like to know about the tangability of time. Websters describes time as "a nonspacial continium, inwhich events seem to occur in an appearently irreversable succession." You are not allowed to use a word to describe itself, yet they use the term continium, another word for time, to describe it.
My question comes from this, should we try and break the hidden code of a theoretical tool we invented ourselves? If we never cared to meet someone at a specific setting on the sundial, the concept of time would never have even existed, much less be a challenge to the beings who created it. Science wants time travel. Is it reasonable, since we also invented the hammer to crave hammer travel?

Someone listed this as an aswer for another person on here and I can't find this Thomas Kinkade book...can someone let me know the name and the barcode on the side so I can get the book at the local book store...thanks!

"I have a Thomas Kinkade book my mother bought me for my first daughter. It asks things like your favorite color, childhood memory, family history, etc. I think she bought it at a local babystore. Try a bookstore too, I bought one for my cousin. I also write a journal where I try to think of fun stories to tell them. How I met Daddy, Daddy and I's first date. Our wedding day. Tell them about family members that have passed/still living. It's a great thing to have for your kids."

We were given 11 books to choose from, the teacher has terrible taste all the books were dreadfully boring and this pile of rubbish called 'Brick Lane and another pile of rubbish called 'Kilo' were the only ones you could make a good essy title of also they were both portraying Muslims/Asians etc.

I chose the question 'How do Brick Lane and Kilo reinforce negative stereotypes of Muslims and people from the Indian sub-continent in general?

Which other books are similar?

Are there any books out there that already look at how ethnic minorities are portrayed in literature?

I don't actually want to do this question but I have handed in the essay title and now have no choice. I can't be bothered reading any more from these silly writers.

Is it better to compare how both books reinforce negative stereotypes of Asians or study another book called 'Amongst Women by John McGahern and compare how how Irish people are portrayed negatively as well as Asians in Brick Lane?

“I named Wendy after my own name. Mine is Gale—you know, a type of breeze. So, I named her Wendy, a small phonic difference from the word ‘windy’!” explained Mrs. Green. Christina was having tea with the Greens at the latter’s residence in Acredale. The Greens consisted of Mrs. Gale Green, who was a lady with silver-brown hair and an intelligent-looking face, and her daughter, Miss Wendy Green, a seventeen-year-old girl with fair hair and an impish smile. Wendy was also a handicap—she was paralyzed waist downwards and was mentally, a child of five years. Christina was very fond of the girl. The Greens hardly had visitors for Acredale was a remote village with a sprinkling of a few houses, a coffee shop which also served as a bakery, a market, a post office, school and an old church. Hence, the mother and daughter were delighted to have the company of a new young guest at tea.

Miss Christina Desmond was a young lady of twenty-one years. She was a high-spirited one with bright blue eyes and golden hair. Tall, slim and tanned, she was the picture of health and vitality. She made quite a stir in the small village, when it was made public that a new person was moving into the Dove. A house agent in the neighbouring town, Louisville, had directed her to the house belonging to the Greens that was up for sale. Christina had taken an immediate liking to the Dove, an old-fashioned house with white-washed walls and a large garden. She did not even pause to bargain the price quoted. With the aid of Wilbert and Albert Walkers Company, the transaction was almost over. The Greens had even invited Miss Desmond over for tea to get to know their young house buyer. Presently they were engaged in light conversation while eating.

“So, tell me, why did you choose this part of the country, Miss Desmond?”
