I was taking down old lathe and plaster in our house and found this in the wall among other things. It is printed on very old fabric. The fabric looks like it may have covered a canning jar at one time the way it is made. I am trying to find out what the emblem is or means. Our house was built in 1865 so it may be something from a long time ago. Does anyone know what it is?
I posted pictures of it at:

Did they take the Cleveland Cavaliers for granted? Is it just me or did they turn into the 2004 lakers who showed the same attitude toward them not too long ago? Do you think the Pistons lost their edge?

My younger sister came home one day from day and was crying. She was 'Syruped'. She was at a middle school party and some of the girls there took a capless syrup bottle, made my sister open her mouth somehow and squirted the syrup into her mouth. After this they 'shanked' her, which i now know means to pull down someone's pants (not underwear.) She ran off crying. She also said later that this had happened to alot of girls at her school, and to most of the girls, it was their only fear at their school. This NEVER happened when I was in junior high. I think it is just ridiculous! Does this happen where you live? what do you think?

Could you please explain to me if you can, the series of steps that led you to be an atheist. In a previous question, an atheist answered that if you are beginning to ask questions, you are two-thirds of the way there and there is no turning back. I'm thinking there is a natural progression that occurs to get to that point, I just would like to see the steps of this progression. Thanks for taking the time to answer in advance!

I am from a Muslim Country when I was younger and I am considering muslim. I believe in buddahist beliefs but Buddahism has coexhisted with religons like the Shinto in Japan so perhaps there is a way for me to believe in buddahist principles and still be muslim. My mom did not like where we lived she wanted to go to Italy but she also forced me to be Confirmed and said she would not feed me well if I did not accept Confirmation. And she does not let me go to other types of Church so last time I had to run away to go to a nice church that made me feel good. And there is a way for Christianity to coexhist with buddahism after all some monks in the east are doing that and the Dalai Lama wrote a book about it Christianity with his buddahist beliefs. I know nothing about mormans but there is a girl in my school who is so nice and she is morman but my mother does not even let me go with her to see. So yes what are you thoughts on it?

I AM GETTING READY TO BE 26 YEARS OLD. I AM MARRIED AND HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. MY LIFE OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS HAS DEFINETELY BEEN AN ITERESTING ONE! I FEEL THAT I HAVE RUINED IT IN SO MANY WAYS. LET ME EXPLAIN:

I AM ABSOLUTELY BROKE! I AM GETTING READY TO LOSE MY HOUSE AND MY CAR. MY CREDIT SCORE IS A 400 AND MY LIFE IS IN SHAMB LES. MY PHONE IS RINGING OFF THE HOOK FROM PEOPLE I OWE MONEY TO. I AM ASHAMED TO LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR. I WANT TO RUN AWAY. FAR FAR AWAY AND START A NEW LIFE, BUT MY HUSBAND WILL NOT DO THAT. HE WANTS TO STAY WHERE WE ARE AND GRIN AND BEAR IT. I LOVE MY HUSBAND VERY MUCH, BUT I CAN'T STAY HERE ANYMORE. AM I WRONG FOR WANTING A NEW LIFE? I FEEL THAT I AM RUINING MY DAUGHTERS LIFE BECAUSE I AM SO DEPRESSED AND DOWN ALL THE TIME. I KNOW THAT GETTING A FRESH START SOMEWHERE NEW WOULD BE GREAT.

HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT MY DAUGHTER TO GROW UP WITHOUT HER FATHER EITHER.

WHAT DO I DO?

WHAT IS POSSIBLY LEFT FOR ME IN THE WORLD?

Our town's elementary school district School Board meeting is tomorrow night. The agenda includes making a decision on maximum class size for the K-6 schools in the district. Currently, they are considering a class size of 32, before splitting the class and hiring another teacher. Most of us parents, of course, would prefer smaller class sizes.

While we appreciate budgetary concerns, we don't want to compromise our child's educational opportunities, either. As, I'm sure, the school board understands and, probably, agrees. Our district currently does not provide teacher's aides, unless there is a special needs child in the classroom (no matter what the class size).

Is there any research out there that studies the optimal class size? Is there a certain class size beyond which learning is, usually, seriously impaired?

What is your personal experience with having your children in large classes versus small classes?

I first heard it said by Cards broadcaster Jack Buck in Spring of 2000 or 2001. I soon heard Red Sox Nation, Tiger Nation etc.
Now it usually refers to Boston, but

Who Said It First?

I have been to Los Angeles and Atlanta and almost every car has one person in it. Shouldn't these people be required to ride the trains and buses?The air in these cities is so dirty.
