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 …
Real Simple Magazine
I usually don’t like lifestyle magazines because they’re all over the place. Real Simple has all the same information as those other magazines, and yet it’s very different.
I think it’s because all the information in this magazine is put together in such a simple, paired down to its essentials …
WRAL Morning News
I’m not really a morning person, but when Im up I like to watch the morning news on WRAL. What I really like about their newscast is the personalities. My favorite is Mark Roberts. He has a lot of energy and gives a good representation of what traffic is …

Two Forever Lenox Rings (magazine ad)
I have never seen a ring advertised in a magazine that is as tacky as this one. The gemstones representing the various months is not even enough to make these rings seem precious enough that I would want to buy one to commemorate a relationship. In any …
PC World Magazine
My brother gave me a subscription to PC World Magazine two years ago and I have renewed it since then because it is great magazine for both the computer novice and hardcore pc user. It is one of those few magazines that when you get one you will …
Baby Talk Magazine

Active Naturals by Aveeno (magazine ad)
Boy oh boy, once one cosmetic company catches on to something, then it seems like all the rest follow suit. I think that either Cover Girl or Revlon has discovered a way to help the consumer find her perfect shade. Now Aveeno appears to be doing the …
Candy Magazine
Candy Magazine is a teen magazine published by Summit Publishing Company, Inc. I came across this magazine because of my daughter who has been constantly reading it.

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 …

First, the article begins with a reference to a letter Brian received from a soldier in Iraq. Instead of …
Heat Magazine
Heat Magazine is a guilty pleasure of mine. It is gloriously gossipy and rather bitchy too, but it is difficult to drag my eyes away from it until I have looked through the whole thing. It has features on various topical glamorous celebrities (Katie Price, Victoria Beckham, …
Black Stone Cherry - Folklore and Superstition
Black Stone Cherry’s sophomore release is as impressive as their self titled this time longer and more mature, with more of the southern rock feel this is a much more satisfying listen from beginning to end, every song is catchy, and every one of these catch song grows on …

The Rachel Maddow Show

Life Takes Visa (magazine ad)
I have seen the television commercials where the Life Takes Visa slogan is punctuated by all sorts of gregarious activities. It makes people want the freedom that a credit card sometimes feel like it’s providing. In this magazine advertisement, a guitar with five necks and five sets …
Nick Jr. Magazine
We didn’t subscribe to Nick Jr. Magazine but our daughter got a year’s subscription from a family friend for her birthday. And, after her getting a few issues of it, I have to say it’s pretty good.
