Fox Movie Channel
I watch this channel sometimes and I don’t believe that it’s a really good channel when it comes to watching movies. This channel is normally not included with basic satellite and cable packages so it will require an upgrade. In my opinion it’s not worth paying extra …
Klipsch sound system (magazine ad)
Again with all the technology, and the merging of it with music. Here we have a young man seated at his notebook with an electric guitar in the background. I guess you get the impression that he’s interfacing his music with some sort of software. The …
OTR Fan (otrfan.com)

Article : “The Last Chinese BBQ” Written by Francis Lam

Canada’s Soho Business Magazine

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 …
Target Fresh Grocery mail publication
The Target chain has added groceries to its aisles in 2010, and apparently, that has made its way into my area as well. I can tell because in my mail today was a large pamphlet full of images and information designed to get me to shop there.

Article : “Single-Handed Cooking” Written by JJ Goode
