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 …
National Geographic Magazine
I remember it well, a young girl in grammar school, thumbing through the mountainous stacks of worn and torn National Geographic magazines looking for material to add to my newly assigned research paper. I remember the articles to have contained some of the most vivid, often times full …
OTR Fan (otrfan.com)
This is yet another great web site for people that like to listen to Old time radio. Again, old time radio is what people used to listen to in about the 1920’s. There are a lot of good programs including mystery, western, comedy, as well as suspense. Some of …
Glamour magazine
I was shocked to see that no one had written a review on Glamour magazine yet! Personally, I find this magazine to be one of the better magazines out there for women (it is my second favorite, after Cosmopolitan). Included in the magazine is just about everything …
Quiksilver Clothing (magazine ad)
I very vaguely remember the brand Quiksilver. What I do remember is that the clothing was very surf oriented with bright colors and lots of shorts and T-shirts. This ad in Blender magazine is quite colorful, featuring a young couple on a moped in what looks like …
Times Ascent
Times Ascent is a weekly supplement of Times of India which gives the latest recruitment opening in private and public sector. In India, it is the best place to start for the searching of jobs. Since I am regular reader of the Times of India, I also looked at …
Vanity Fair Magazine
Vanity Fair Magazine, to me, personally, could be called a “Scandalous Magazine”. I have some copies at home, which my mom bought like almost every month, and I love flipping pages usually. First of all, I am totally amazed by how good the photographers’ shots were, and …
Cosmopolitan Magazine
My favorite magazine is Cosmopolitan. I’m not sure why, but it beats out all the others by a mile and a half. Cosmo (as it’s known by most people who’ve heard of it), has everything that a woman in her early 20’s could want to read about. …
National Enquirer
The National Enquirer is my favourite magazine. I love celebrity gossip, and the Enquirer happily provides it.
My husband jokingly refers to the Enquirer my “Bible”.
I used to love the column that Anna Nicole Smith wrote, it was very funny and yes, very wacky!!
I am not crzy about the issues …
Old School Wrestling (OSW)
On the internet, there is no shortage of resources for fans of professional wrestling. There is a majority that are distinctly American in their perspective, often marred by nostalgia. Save for the UK’s WrestletalkTV, the viewpoint of wrestling fans outside of the US is minimal. Fortunately, …
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 …
Courier-Journal newspaper
The Courier-Journal is our city’s ultra left-leaning newspaper. When I was little, there was another newspaper that delivered in the afternoon. Now we just have the morning delivery of the Courier-Journal, and considering its poor quality, I am surprised we even have it now.
The Courier-Journal’s editorial page …
Family Circle Magazine
Family Circle has always been my favorite magazine. I remember as a child staying the night with my grandmother and always looking through the piles of them she had on the coffee table. Back then I liked looking at the pictures of clothes and then seeing the food and …
Atomic Ranch Magazine
This is only a quarterly magazine. But, I’m glad it exists all the same. It’s a fun magazine for mid century design enthusiasts like me.
A lot of it seems to be about showing me peoples’ midcentury interiors. I guess the idea is to inspire others to try to …
Platinum by Montecristo Cigars (magazine ad)
I don’t smoke cigars, nor do I have a desire to. I am aware that there is a certain sophistication involved in cigar smoking. Creative teams responsible for this ad obviously thought that sex appeal needed to be incorporated into the ad. There is a …
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 …
CaressBrazilian.com (magazine ad)
Nicole Scherzinger is the face on this ad. But I don’t think she’s actually Brazilian. Just because she has long dark hair and a fresh face, she is the new face for this product. The ad itself looks really really cheesy. And the palm …
Shepherds Voice Radio Program
I do really appreciate the radio program “Shepherd’s Voice” on DZAS-FEBC. The moderator of the program Brother Jurem Ramos of Soli Deo Gloria Church which is based in Davao City, is an excellent preacher of the great doctrines of the Bible and courageous expositors of false teachings so …
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 …
Vaseline Cocoa Butter (magazine ad)
There is a saying that Black don’t’ crack. This saying means that African American skin has a tendency to retain its elasticity longer than the skin of other ethnic groups. However, because of the melanin in the skin, when it does get dry, the dry skin tends …
Activ Flex Blister Block by Band Aid (magazine ad)
Are you one of those women who has the greatest, sexiest pair of shoes that you absolutey have to wear - but they hurt your feet like crazy? If you nodded yes, don’t feel alone. There are ladies everywhere who suffer for fashion. I guess that …
Converse.com (magazine ad)
This page is full of celebrities who are all wearing Converse sneakers. However, I can only recognize two of them: Santogold and Pharrell. The others are most definitely musicians, as this a mic stand positioned behind one of the other “models.” The ad itself is in …
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 …
Bertie Ledger-Advance
The Bertie Ledger-Advance is an awsome periodical that comes out once a week, on Wednesday, giving Bertie County, North Carolina all of their local news. They usually average between 16 and 24 pages. The Bertie Ledger-Advance often prints special sections that keep their readers …
Giant magazine
When it came out last year (2005), GIANT magazine was the coolest. It touted itself as being men’s interest, but I had such fun with it. Its book and movie reviews were sharp, plentiful and on the mark, the interviews were punchy and fascinating, and even the layout …
Nivea Natural Tone Moisturizer (magazine ad)
The couple shown in this commercial are too beautiful for words. Their entire faces are not even shown in their entirety. But the woman’s thick, luscious curly hair, and the man’s close cropped do are quite prominent. Their creamy café-au-lait complexions don’t hurt either. …
WPOC
One of the best country music stations I believe in the country is our own WPOC. This station is involved in our community. They have really good traffic reports in the morning and the afternoon. They keep you informed of what is going on that will effect you …
Grace To You By Pastor John MacArthur
I do really appreciate the radio program “Grace To You” which is aired on FEBC DZAS every night at 9 in the evening Monday to Friday.
The preacher of the program Pastor John MacArthur is a gifted preacher who is an excellent exositor of Bible doctrines and teacings. He …
Men’s Health Philippines Magazine
As a gym buff, I have to have my own bible for health and diet concerns. This magazine was first introduced to me by a friend. My first copy was an international issue with Paul Walker in the cover. The US version was good but most of the contents …
Netflix
I have been using Netflix for about 3 months now.
It seemed like the perfect service for me and my partner. We are both great movie and tv-show lovers, but as we are both tough and only just starting on the career ladder we cannot afford renting or buying movies …
Alan Magnus Radio Personality
The Jamaican radio personality Alan Magnus has worked on Real Jamaican Radio or RJR as it is most commonly known for a very long time. In fact, I think he might just be the radio personality working there the longest. One can listen to him on weekday mornings from …
Full Metal Alchemist Manga
If you are a manga reader then you probably heard Full Metal Alchemist; Full Metal Alchemist or also know as FMA for short is about two brothers who wants to revive their mother using alchemy, but they do not know that using alchemy to revive a dead person is …
Parenting Magazine
I wanted to write and thank Parenting magazine, but because of the things that needed to be done first, it took me months to do so. But here I am, and I thought of something better, to share my gratefulness to all other moms out there that might find …
Chadder’s Science Adventure - Day 5 (DVD)
I had volunteered to help teach Vacation Bible School this summer for the first time and signed up for Chadder’s Cinema Science.
In this activity the kids watched a video each day entitled Chadder’s Science Adventure and also did a small experiment to go along with the theme being …
Design For Humanity by Billa Bong (magazine ad)
I don’t think I have ever heard of Billa Bong. It sounds like a really funky clothing line. And I see that there is a model on the page wearing an array of bathing suits. The suits are very vintage looking and are nowhere near that …
Mega: Philippines’ Fashion Magazine
Mega is the more expensive (just a tad) counterpart of Preview Magazine, both local fashion magazines in the Philippines. It is published by the Mega Publishing Group, and is exclusively about fashion in the Philippines and fashion relevant to the Filipinos. I patronize this magazine, buying their monthly issues …
One Touch diabetic monitor (magazine ad)
There is a huge close up of a real life mother. Her name is Kelly. She has diabetes, and she’s a mother. It’s very interesting that they chose this particular style of ad for such an important little device. I like that they used …
Aflac Duck campaign featuring Carl Edwards
Probably my favorite commercial creation since the Energizer Bunny is the Aflac Duck. This quacking creature really amuses me, but more so now that Aflac is sponsoring NASCAR driver, Carl Edwards. As a result of the sponsorship, Edwards has been doing a series of ads for TV …
Clean Make-Up by Cover Girl (magazine ad)
Rihanna is a really fresh faced beauty. When she first hit the scene, everyone thought that she was just going to follow in Beyonce’s footsteps and perhaps be a cheaper knock off. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not necessarily a big Rihanna fan. But I …
Computer Gaming World magazine
My husband is actually the one who subscribes to this magazine, but I enjoy reading it when it comes. There have been a few editorial changes lately, and the jury is still out on some of them. For instance, they got rid of one of the columns …
Mark Larson Radio Show
Mark Larson is a radio talk show host on KOGO 600 on the AM dial in San Diego.
This guy has had me laughing or at least smiling for years. Very few people are as quick witted or can turn a phrase like Mark. He started out years ago on …
Sirius Radio
I really enjoy listening to Sirius radio. I like the variety of the selection of stations. I find that I hear songs I have not heard in years.
Sirius radio is satellite radio. The sound quality is excellent.
There is something for everyone to enjoy from Talk radio, …
Reader’s Digest magazine
Reader’s Digest remain to be my top favorite magazine for years and I think that will stay that way for a long time. Reader’s Digest has travelled around the world for decades and they have provided valuable information, inspiring stories and a good time for their readers. They release …
ZOO Weekly magazine
ZOO Weekly is, without a doubt, a men’s mag. Each week you can be sure to see at least one beautiful, albeit airbrushed, lady on the cover. There are three main topics - women, weird stuff and sports.
There’s the obligatory bikini model every issue, with different themes for …
Highlights for Children
This magazine has been around for many many years. I bought them for my kids when they were young and they are 29,28, and 23 now. I once again ordered them for my grandchildren ages 8 and 11 years old. I have a 8 month old …
Chadder’s Science Adventure - Day 4 (DVD)
I had volunteered to help teach Vacation Bible School this summer for the first time! I signed up to be an assistant in Chadder’s Cinema Science!
In Chadder’s Cinema Science we watched a video each day entitled Chadder’s Science Adventure and also did a small experiment to go along …
Orbit MP3 speakers ad
This ad depicts three people seated around a little speaker. At first when I saw this ad, I didn’t know that the commercial was for a speaker at all. In any event, the ad, which is in black and white (save for the products and …
DogFancy Magazine (on One Year Subscription)
I had a subscription to DogFancy magazine many years ago, when I was in middle school and students got special incentives to sell magazine subscriptions at fund raisers. I ended up buying myself a subscription to the magazine to keep up with all things dog-related. I remember …
