Is The History Channel's Show 'American Pickers' Fake?- This Author Thinks It's Real

Davey Jones — Wed, 15 May 2013 18:19:59 +0000

Is the History Channel’s show ‘American Pickers’ fake? Do you think the show is just staged? I don’t. I can get sucked into Mike and Frankie picking anything. I think the show is real and I want to prove one blogger wrong. An author named Russel Scott wrote a blog titled “The History Channel’s American Pickers [...]

What Does The 'G' Stand For With 4G Phones?

Mark Richards — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 09:30:45 +0000

If you know the answer you're under the age of 35 or a smart middle-aged person. I am not. When I was in Florida spending time with Dad and many people in their 70s, they looked at my 4G phone like I was some sort of time traveler. "What does the 'G' stand for", asked a 79 year old friend of my father. Embarrassed I replied, "ummm, gooder?"

'Warm Bodies' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 23:59:10 +0000

'Warm Bodies' is a supernatural teen love story with a brain. (Excuse me. . .BRAINS!) It is hardly a memorable film, and certainly a step back for director Jonathan Levine after the masterful '50/50,' but it's cute, and if you are a high schooler looking for a date flick or slightly older and chaperoning your niece you could do a hell of a lot worse.

Taylor Swift, 'State of Grace' – Song Review

Jessica Sager — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 18:46:34 +0000

Taylor Swift released ‘State of Grace,’ the fifth single from ‘Red.’ Has it really been that many already?! In any case, the quality matches the quantity: ‘State of Grace’ may well be a perfect pop song. When Swift previewed the track on ‘Good Morning America,’ she described it as “about when you first fall in [...]

Taylor Swift, 'I Knew You Were Trouble' – Song Review

Jessica Sager — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 04:41:54 +0000

"I knew you were trouble when you walked in / So shame on me now," Taylor Swift laments on 'I Knew You Were Trouble,' another promotional single from 'Red,' due Oct. 22. Other than 'Back to December' off of 'Speak Now,' this may be the first single in which Swift, however indirectly, takes responsibility for her role in a failed relationship -- and that maturity suits her, though it may not always make for easy listening.

Taylor Swift, 'Begin Again' – Song Review

Jessica Sager — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 14:32:51 +0000

Taylor Swift often comes under some heat for her lyrics, which can sometimes veer into the junior notebook doodle arena, but the girl is growing up. In an ode to a new romance, Swift paints a vivid picture of a first date following a rough breakup in 'Begin Again' -- and she sounds like a young woman.

Carly Rae Jepsen, 'Kiss' – Album Review

Jessica Sager — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 14:09:59 +0000

Carly Rae Jepsen isn't a one tricky pony. She's a two-to-three trick pony, if her debut U.S. album, 'Kiss,' is indication, and if she strays too far from what she knows, it doesn't end that well. But when her regular two or three tricks are so good, you don't mind hearing them over and over again... at least not at first.

Maroon 5, 'One More Night' – Song Review

Amy Sciarretto — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:30:46 +0000

‘One More Night,’ the second single from Maroon 5‘s ‘Overexposed’ (out June 26) is just dropping, while the first single ‘Payphone’ remains in the Top 5 of the radio chart leaderboad. It’s certainly the familiar pop-rock sound that we’ve come to experience and expect from Adam Levine and his bandmates. But there’s a bit of a reggae style infused into the percussion, giving the song a more dancey feel.

What Exactly is '50 Shades of Grey' (and What Can You Expect From the Movie)?

Britt Hayes — Wed, 30 May 2012 16:30:17 +0000

So what’s this ’50 Shades of Grey’ thing you keep seeing everywhere? Women all around you are reading it — ladies on the bus, that khaki-pantsed woman clutching her pearls in the coffee shop, your mom. And now they’re making it into a movie.

Lucky for you, I read this thing so you don’t have to.

Adam Lambert, 'Trespassing' – Album Review

Scott Shetler — Sun, 20 May 2012 15:22:55 +0000

When Adam Lambert signed a record deal after finishing second in Season 8 of ‘American Idol,’ some questioned whether his glam-rock leanings could be successful in today’s pop music environment. The singer and his following of Glamberts proved the doubters wrong with ‘For Your Entertainment,’ which produced a Top 10 single, earned a Grammy nomination [...]

'HBO Go' Mobile App Review

Phil Villarreal — Thu, 10 May 2012 21:00:59 +0000

Let’s get one thing out of the way — Just because we subscribe to HBO doesn’t mean we’re made of money. Sure, you can subscribe to the premium channel in the normal way, but we just call up our cable company, threaten to move to DirecTV because it offered us free HBO on a flyer, and accept a 6-month trial of the show in exchange for staying with our current provider.

Bad weather is on the way for Central New York. That also means bad drivers out on the road. Don’t be one of those drivers. The best advice for driving in bad winter weather is not to drive at all, if you can avoid it. However that isn’t always the case. Our friends at The [...]

Young Men Think They Are The Best Drivers

Dave Wheeler — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:35:57 +0000

As a younger male, I know my driving skills can’t be matched to the some of our older gents on staff. Insurance companies know it, young males are the least skilled and most dangerous on the road. But if you ask young guys, they’ve got a different opinion. A new British found that 62 percent [...]
