Yaz Birth Control pills (magazine ad)

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

Speed-TV Coverage of Formula 1 Racing
In America, Formula 1 racing isn’t as popular as NASCAR. While there certainly are a number of fans, it’s not enough to warrant a huge international traveling expense for analysts and crew. Thus, Speed-TV’s coverage is hampered dramatically.
For example, Speed-TV uses a camera feed supplied by the …

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 …
