| Thrilled to be in Sydney
Mum and I went to Sydney on my 14th birthday to watch my first rock concert on Feb 18. My favourite band, Evanescence, performed superbly at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. Our seats were near the stage where the sound controls were. The show blasted off at 8pm with the supporting act Shihad. I didnt know who they were but they were quite good. I was mesmerised by Evanescence when they played at 9.15pm and thrilled that we were seated so close to the band. I could almost hear Terry and Tim chatting during a short break. A night I will never forget. -- Leila, Kuala Lumpur A welcome break As a university student who is always busy with assignments, my perfect weekend would be eating out, relaxing and gossiping with friends. Home-cooked meals are ideal to indulge in and revitalise us for the week ahead.
Cascadian Farms - Organic and Easy
Cascadian Farms started off as a small farm in 1972, farming organically on a few acres in the Upper Skagit Valley of Washington's North Cascade Mountains - hence the name. And now, they've expanded to become the leading grower, manufacturer, and distributor of a wide range of delicious organic products. Walk into any health food store and you can't miss them. Their name is on anything from granola bars, to breakfast cereals, to frozen blueberries, to pickles. That about covers all the basic food groups. It is reliable and convenient organic produce and food.
My favorite products are a staple for a weekend breakfast: frozen blueberries for pancakes and frozen Country Style Potatoes - they make hash-browns so much easier.
Insight Info to offer a wider variety of TV programmes
Insight Info, a local provider of television content through National Broadcast Television's satellite and cable-TV channels, yesterday announced a reshuffle of its programming to promote a mix of news and documentaries, sports and variety entertainment.
National Broadcast Television (NBT) has been awarded a concession from the Public Relations Department to produce quality programmes for more than 400 cable-TV operators throughout the Kingdom. The move is the department's solution to avoid any violation of TV licences by local cable-TV operators in showing international programmes. Supavit Supaporn-o-pas, assistant to the CEO, said Insight Info was formed almost a year ago to produce TV programmes through the NBT network as well as satellite television in the Ku-band system.
