Rush Limbaugh Radio Program
Rush Limbaugh is a conservative radio host. He is certainly the most successful conservative radio host out there. I agree with a lot of his views on certain issues but I believe that he is way to controversial and divisive. He is a conservative but I …
Tide With Dawn Stain Scrubbers (magazine ad)
Tide is one of the longest-running, best-selling laundry cleaning products on the market. I have always loved Tide, and would probably believe that it could remove any stain. Plus, the product has a distinctive smell that I love. Anyway, anyone who watches the CW network …
Goldie Hawn Featured in AARP Magazine
I have been enjoying AARP magazines for about five years now. The AARP March/April 2006 issue is one of my favorite issues. I love the picture of Goldie Hawn on the cover. In my opinion, Goldie Hawn is strikingly beautiful even at sixty years of age.

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.
I have to tell …
TV Guide
For the majority of my lifetime, I’ve received the TV Guide. The magazine as it is today, though, is night and day from what it once was. This is mostly because of two things — the internet and cable TV with its programming guide. The days of …

Island Capri is a great name for a breezy looking fragrance. I have never smelled this stuff. But again, Michael Kors is a really great brand - a really great designer. If his perfume is anything like the clothing, then the wearer of this perfume will …
PC Magazine
I started getting this magazine due to a mistake on my part. I had been getting PCWorld magazine and one of my nieces came around selling subscriptions for her school. I saw PC magazine listed and misread the name thinking it was PCWorld -which I love, and I subscribed …
Haven of Rest by Charles Morris
I do really appreciate the radio program “Haven of Rest” by Charles Morrisl I find comfort and upliftment everytime I listen to the radio program.

Worldspace Satellite Radio
All of us have heard of Worldspace Satellite Radio which recently entered the Indian Market and was received enthusiastically in the beginning. However recently there has been a marked change in the way people are looking at this service and even in the way how they are marketing themselves. …
Veranda Magazine
I am an avid reader when it comes to books. But, I don’t feel the same way when it comes to magazines. I like magazines for the pictures. After all, it isn’t poetry that’s inside these magazines. Especially when the articles are routinely lengthy, I feel they’re just filler …
Channel 67 The City
I have had my XM Radio since November 2006 and so far I enjoy listening to it. What caught my attention was commercial free music. “The City” channel 67 is a channel that suits my taste. It is an urban channel and the selection is good. There is however …
GameInformer Magazine
Anyone who has shopped at their friendly local GameStop store has probably been pitched a subscription to the chain’s monthly magazine - GameInformer. Not too many people have actually bitten on the offer, though, and as someone who finally gave in and bought it, I have to say …
Daily Variety
Daily Variety is one of the trade papers for the show business industry. It’s published every weekday, except for holidays, so it’s quite expensive. I’ve subscribed to it often over the years, back in the days when my salary was actually decent and the economy wasn’t such …
Nirvana Unplugged DVD (magazine ad)
I was a huge fan of Nirvana. I loved the intense wildness of the music, and the angst filled lyrics belted out by Kurt Cobain. When he died in the mid 90’s, I found myself tearing up because I just knew that Kurt was going to go …
Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation by Neutrogena (magazine ad)
A great big, make that HUGE photograph of Jennifer Garner is being used to market this cosmetic. The powder foundation appears to be giving this actress the model glow that she has all the time. The delicate dimples in her cheeks don’t hurt either. Her …
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s Ghost Whisperer Halloween Goodbye Video
Just before Halloween 2010, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt released a video that was a goodbye to fans of her series, Ghost Whisperer. After five seasons on the air, the show had been canceled back in May. I’m not sure if the reason for the delayed goodbye had …
Fine Gardening Magazine
I’m not good at gardening by any stretch of the imagination. Perhaps that’s why gardening magazines fascinate me. A lot of times I just look at gardening mags for the pretty pictures and that’s about it. I love gardens, but in general I’m used to designing interiors. Designing for …
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 …
Andy Capp
I haven’t spent a great deal of time reading the comic strip Andy Capp in the past. But, recently, I’ve found myself looking at it on a daily basis.

TMZ staff
These people at TMZ just do nothing for me. They have a website, and they have a 30 minute syndicated TV show. What a complete waste. Worse, that our society supports it is just sad.
While I love the opportunity to see what my favorites are doing, …
US Weekly Magazine
I have friends who like subscribe to US Weekly Magazine almost regularly, and I thought of what the hype is all about, and started to buy them rigilously as well. But, up till now, I can’t really catch up what’s so exciting about this magazine. Here is …
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.

Good Housekeeping
My mother subscribes to Good Housekeeping magazine and when she is finished with her monthly copy, she passes it along to me. Honestly, I would not subscribe to Good Housekeeping or pay money for an issue I saw on a rack at the store. I will, however, be happy …

This is the most popular teen magazine in the Philippines. I’ve had a few issues of it back then when I was in my preteen years. I’ve got a copy of it again today after a few years. It has 4 sections: fashion, beauty, features (celebrities, cover girls), and …

RIA Radio Station
This is an entertainment and leisure review regarding one of my most listened to radio station, known as RIA. Or RIA 89.7 FM, a local radio station in my country.
There are lots of features in this radio station and the DJs are pretty nice and friendly. But of …
Sunday Contact with Ralston McKenzie radio programme
I have always thought that Jamaican radio on Sunday, and especially Sunday evenings could be quite monotonous for a young person, even though after coming to listen to my parents talk about what it used to be like, I realize it is much better now. These days, and even …
A guide to “Women’s Health”

I have recently become of the Howard Stern show thanks to Sirius satelite radio. I enjoy the funny comments, Robin Quivers, Howard Stern, Artie and Richard Christy most of all.

Packers Dope Sheet
Now that football season (well, pre-season) is starting again, I am once again making my weekly visit to Packers.com in order to read their weekly dope sheet.
When it comes to lead up to games, the Packers Dope Sheet is probably the best place to gain a full understanding about …

Total Girl Magazine
I was scanning for women’s magazines when I found this Total Girl Magazine. It was a popular teen star that’s on the cover. So I purchased it. When I got home, I was so surprised because I thought this magazine is for older girls, but it’s for tweens! I …
Microsoft Sync software (magazine ad)
Expanse of orange and red across a two page spread. The color in and of itself would make one take a second glance. There must be something to the oranges and reds, because I am noticing that a lot more execs are using these colors in their …
