Never one to turn down a freebie, I took up the chance of two tickets to see LauraVeirs play the now annual Americana weekend at the Sage, Gateshead in July. I'd had several opportunities to see her play in the north east before this but I wasn't convinced by what I'd heard. Much better to make my mind up for free?.
Although she has an impressive output of albums, this show focused mainly on her most recent release "Saltbreakers" that was released in spring 2007 on the Nonsuch label - musos will know that the label is also home to the Decembrists a band she has much in common with.
From her solo performance I found enough to like to acquire the album and I have to say it is one that gets several plays a week. On record, Laura is accompanied by her band, also called the "Saltbreakers", formerly the "Tortured Souls" and the new name ...

Having worked for a variety of retailers over the past ten years- ranging from a well-known supermarket to a local small business- I have experienced both good employers and those to avoid. Laura Ashley Limited sits nicely in the middle, often reaching towards the "Places I Loved to Work" category.
I have been with the company for just over a year. In this time, I have been promoted from Sales Leader (supervisor) to Assistant Manager.

Julia and Julia is director Nora Ephron's adaptation of two books:one written by Julia Child and another by Julie Powell.Any film that takes life from life itself is usually good and this film is no different.
The film tells the story of Julia Child,the author of the famous cookbook and Julie Powell,a simple working woman who decides to make Julia's recipes by herself and decides to write a blog about it.The two stories(one set in 1940s when Julia was young and another set in 2002 when Julie is reading Julia's book) run parallely on screen and unfolds gradually on screen. Both women share lot of similarities in their respective lives and the director lays it down beautifully for the viewer to experience.
If you feel this is a film for women,you are certainly mistaken.Yes,the central characters are women and it involves cooking ...
