My Amazing Daughter Emma Crowder


In my humble opinion, my oldest daughter Emma, has a fantastic voice but does not believe this. I think that she can make it in the music industry because she has the look, the talent and a unique voice that reminds me so much of the late Eva Cassidy.

Emma also plays the acoustic guitar and writes her own material - check out http://www.myspace.com/emmacrowdermusic

Most people say that parents are biased towards their kids. This is not the case with me. Please check out the link and decide for yourself... Any comments would be appreciated. Maybe there is someone reading this, who has links to a record company and can see the potential just as I do...

Please Help Me Identify This Old Jar






I jug up this old jar a few years ago whilst constructing the foundations for my house. I placed it in a box and forgot about it until a few weeks ago; when I came across it again going through some bits and pieces in the garage. I remember the day I discovered it. We were digging the strip footing for the house and I spotted it in the bucket of the J.C.B. - It was encased in clay - to be honest, we could have easily damaged it but when we cleaned it up, it was in A1 condition. I guess it must have been buried for for a long time, so it would be good to find out any information about its age etc.

I have attached some photographs...
There are no markings on the base, but there are some markings on the front of the pot (next to the image of a tiger?/lion?/lynx? that seem to look like Tam or Jam – however, It is in perfect condition and looks too old to be an old jam jar. I have tried to identify it through internet searches, but without success.

Any help would be appreciated!
