Avlon Hair Products (magazine ad)
There are five women shown in this commercial. The product is for Avlon products which includes an array of hair relaxers. The women shown are all tough looking broads and I mean that in the best way possible. The first is obviously the vixen. …
Memorex Am/Fm Stereo
About three years ago, my mother wanted to purchase a stereo cd player for my father for his birthday. We went to Wal-Mart and found an old fashioned 1950’s replica Memorex Am/Fm stereo/cd player. Its model number was MTT3200, and it cost around $20. While its …
Lucky Magazine by The Conde Nast Publications
I bought this magazine from our local store and boy how I regret them. They are really thick and seem like a fashionista must have. It is really deceptive to look at especially since they are super thick and I thought I am getting value out of my money. …
BBC Radio1
Being a UK resident, i know many of the radio stations. This includes BBC2, 1 and 4. Now, as this review is on Radio 1, that will be the main subject.
Now, let’s get started then!
Radio 1 has got just about every type of music, well not classical music, and …
Saveur Magazine
So far I am quite disappointed with my subscription to Saveur Magazine. Having been a subscriber to Bon Appetit for years and loved every issue of that publication, I started to consider adding another subscription. My first thought had been to go for Gourmet, since it comes …

Computer active is a simple, easy to understand magazine which has been running for ten years. It costs £1.59 from most supermarkets and other retailers.

NFL Network
A lot of fuss is being made over the NFL Network and whether cable companies should cave to pressure and add it as part of their regular lineup rather than in a sports tier.
While I hate the idea of missing important football games, I give my full support to …
USA Network Cable TV Channel
I love watching the USA Network and it’s certainly one of my most favorite cable TV channels. The USA Network is available with most basic cable and satellite packages which means that it usually doesn’t require an additional fee. The reason that I love watching the USA …
Northwestern Mutual Investment Company (magazine ad)
Now this is an ad that I can get behind. A woman is shown standing completely clothed on a rocky shore. Past her uplifted hands are seven men flying away from her. The slogan reads: “Let Your Worries Go ” I …
TV Guide Channel
The TV Guide Channel began essentially as just a scroll of cable listings. Now it’s a network with original programming. The one theme that is consistent is that TV Guide Channel is all about entertainment and nothing else. You may find paid programming during the wee …
National ENQUIRER magazine
This is one magazine that I buy even though I do know you can’t always believe every thing you read. Sometimes, they do have the “real” scoop and it makes some of these celebrities very mad.
This magazine has had a lot of law suits against it but continue to …
Cover Girl Queen Collection Lipsticks (magazine ad)
There is no better spokeswoman than Queen Latifah—to market the Queen Collection lipsticks. I imagine that this line of cosmetics was renamed specifically with this woman in mind. She is a great spokesmodel because she doesn’t exactly fit the traditional mold of someone who models for …
Junkmail Classifieds Newspaper
This is one concept I give a lot of credit for to the pioneers that identified a need to fill the gaping hole in this market. A weekly newspaper published especially for the listing of classified advertisements.
I find it to be a bit limited however, in the sense that …
Asia Pacific News
Since I have been exploring the business opportunities in the Asia Pacific Region, it is helpful that I keep myself updated with all the news and developments in the Region.

Fresh 102.7
Everyday at work I listen to the radio station Fresh 102.7 (Las Vegas, NV). I have come to appreciate the DJ’s sense of humor, especially Suzy. The traffic reports are accurate and timely. I drive to work during peak hours in the morning and I am rarely late due …
The Chronicle Herald .ca
Halifax’s local newspaper is offered online as well at www.thechronicleherald.ca. I personally opt to visit this site daily, as I prefer the neat and tidy web surfing to flipping through the large, bulky paper that makes a mess on my hands and desk.
I do enjoy this site for its …
Good Housekeeping Magazine
My Auntie has subscribed for 12 issues Good Housekeeping Magazine for only $14.97 and you know what she is able to maximize the benefit of this subscription by passing all the issues of magazines to me after she’s done with them. I am actually enjoying a free supply …

Time Magazine
Time Magazine is a tradition, and that’s pretty much how I look at it. I don’t take any news publication as gospel because in my opinion, just about everything is slanted, one way or another. However, I do like Time Magazine as a leader in information and …
Brown/Whitman: Face to Face TV Debate
Brown/Whitman: Face to Face was the first TV debate between gubernatorial candidates, Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman. The two debated at U.C. Davis in California on September 28, 2010.

Fox NASCAR Pre-Show Hosts
As a fan of NASCAR, for the first half of the racing season, I sit through the pre-race show that Fox does prior every week. The length varies, but it’s usually about an hour, and it’s held together by Chris Berman, along with Jeff Hammond and Darrell Waltrip.
Berman …
The Manchester Times
About 6 months ago I needed to advertise the sale of a vehicle I wanted to get rid of. I looked up the local newspapers phone number, The Manchester Times, and gave them a call. I was pleased with how I was treated over the phone and I …
Kohl’s Vera Wang clothing line (magazine ad)
First of all, I had no idea that Vera Wang even had a clothing line at Kohl’s. But from the look of the ad, I wished that there was a Kohl’s nearby. In the ad several young women are draped across what looks like …
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails (magazine ad)
Beautiful, beautiful hands are shown in this Sally Hansen ad. The owner of those hands can only be seen from the forearm up. But that is the beauty of how this ad was put together. Also seen is a suitcase bulging with clothes. …
Business Licenses and Permits
“Business Licenses and Permits” by an unknown author at entrepreneur.com is an article for business owners about various types of operating permits and licenses they will need to legally run their business.
I think it is important for new business owners to know what type of licenses and permits they …
Idaho Statesman newspaper
If you like straight news reporting and not a lot of fluff articles, this is not the newspaper for you. Recently there was a fire in Boise that destroyed 10 homes and had a fatality involved. It was a tragic event for sure but the Statesman keeps …
Gadgets Magazine
The economic crunch has made me realize that I should be a little more circumspect in my shopping. I just cannot resist buying on impulse. To stop myself from grabbing the first thing I see and to put some discipline in me, I have taken to window shopping through …
CNN World News 24/7
Listening to the news is one of my greatest pleasures,while typing my stories.I like CNN because it covers all the days events world wide.Unlike the local news,it is on 24 /7 and I can do what I have to do and still keep up with what is going on …

Portage Daily Register
I don’t live in Portage Wisconsin but I happened to be in that area the other day and, like I usually try to do whenever I’m in a community for a night, I ended up picking up a copy of their local newspaper; the Daily Register.

Press Enterprise
Several weeks ago, I had to take a business trip to Bloomsburg, PA and found myself spending a few nights in that town (maybe I’ll take the time to write about that too). While at the hotel I made every effort to kill my boredom by reading the local …
Kipling bags by Fergie (magazine ad)
I am not really a Fergie fan. Personally, I feel that when she joined the Black Eyed Peas, they lost a little of their authenticity. The band suddenly became all about Fergie because she was the new snow princess to take the rest of the group to …
Interview magazine
Started by Andy Warhol many years ago, Interview magazine embraces Warhol’s idea that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes and even years after his death emulates his hipster style.

Greatest Christian Hymns of All Time radio programme
Even though I am only slightly spiritual, I would not call myself a religious person, and am especially not interested in most Christian things, even though my family is Christian. Nevertheless, there is still that rare moment when I find something Christian or religious that actually piques my …
A helpful and interesting read.
Last night I purchased an Allure magazine from a local book store. I paid about $2.99 for it. On the cover of this month’s mag is a picture of Mariah Carey. Some of the headlines on the cover include, “Easy Sexy Hair”, “The Best Fall Makeup”, and “10 Hidden …
102.3 KJLH
I am a huge fan of R&B, Hip Hop, and Old School Music. Living in Los Angeles, I have found the perfect radio station that best suits my needs and that is 102.3 KJLH. With KJLH, they value the community much more than other radio stations. They care about …
Citicards (magazine ad)
Credit card commercials are usually pretty inventive. There was one that I ran across in Wired magazine that really caught my eye. The ad features a fairly large house and the garage is painted in wild colors, with a crazy graffiti-like design. The caption …
Rouge magazine fall 2007
I got this small free magazine in the mail. I couldn’t remember signing up for it but then I remember it is a product of Proctor and Gamble and as I get their email coupons, I am now entitled to receive their magazine called Rouge.
Rouge is a brand new …
KYMX - 96.1
Radio stations come and go with the decades and certainly in this day and age, more attention is given to playing company favorites than fan favorites, and that frustrates me. After listening to country music for a few years and becoming totally disenchanted with its same repetitive tracks, …
TV Times magazine
As its name rather suggests, the British publication TV Times is a TV listings magazine, and in fact it is one of the longest standing of all, having been launched right back in 1955, at the very dawn of commercial television in the United Kingdom. Since the deregulation of …

Garden Design Magazine
I don’t really learn anything about gardening by reading this magazine. It’s mostly about the pictures for me. Sometimes they’re so beautiful I want to frame them and put them up as wall art. This mag is almost like a look book. These aren’t do it yourself ideas. These …
