Of course, the Polish American Journal does have its good points. Readers are able to keep current with what's going on down at the Polish embassy and what new polka CD's and books are out. There's also plenty of apolitical features on traditions and holidays. So while I do recommend the PAJ, I caution potential subscribers that they will be getting only a very conservative slant on Polish current events and history.

Shotgun Sports Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)
It has good unbiased product reviews, reloading info, tips on technique from some top professional like Chris Batha.
Outshines all other Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays magazines in my view.I have been reading Shotgun Sports now for two years. It is one of the best publications for the shotgun enthusiast. The articles are timely, well written, and appropriate for all levels of shooters. I highly recommend it to all of you out there interested in shotguns or improving your game.

Catholic Historical Review
Catholic Family News
"What then should a Catholic do ... if some new contagion
were to try to poison no longer a small part of the Church, but all of
the Church at the same time, then he will take the greatest care to
attach himself to antiquity which, obviously, can no longer be seduced
by any lying novelty." (Commonitorium)John Venarri is a freemason who has infiltrated the tradionalist movement. For the sole purpose to divide us. Think of this, a bishop said, ;We must abrogat Vatican 11. And then immediatly abrogate the council of Trent. Our lord said to Peter ;He who hears you, hears me, he who rejects you rejects me;.This magazine, while presumably well-intentioned, is a veritable font of misinformation to Catholics, especially traditional Catholics who are disturbed by the events in the Church since Vatican II. Unfortuantely, CFN sets Vatican II up as a "straw man"; the writers caricature the Council in the terms that many liberals would indeed have us believe, and then knock it down by saying it was not a valid Council. While it is quite unfortunate that many liberal Catholics have (deliberately or not) twisted the meanings of Vatican II, the Council IS valid. To believe otherwise is heresy. Many ads in this magazine are from schismatic groups such as SSPX, or sedevacantist groups like MICM. (It is not logical to say that the current Pope has no authority, and then to refer to Saint ("Padre") Pio as such when it is the current Pope who canonized him. This is done in the Sep. 2003 issue.) Please avoid this magazine, and seek out good Catholic media like EWTN (which is free).
Crochet!
This is not your grandma's crochet. This is beautiful sweaters with wonderful drape, and modern design. They don't stop there...in addition to clothing I have also made some cute toys and beautiful afghans. The primary focus is on clothing, however, there is plenty to keep you happy for those times that you are not in the mood to do a wearable.
In addition to the wonderful patterns there are articles and how to's that explore new techniques.
Out of the past two issues I have made at least 4 projects from each one and have many more in my Ravelry queue.I learned how to crochet when I was about 8 years old. Now I'm in my forties and I don't think there's any crochet I haven't tried. I get bored with patterns for toys or to cover your dishwashing liquid container, etc.
I never get bored with this magazine. There are a mix of challenging to easy/intermediate patterns. They are outside the norm and I find that lots of times I can easily alter them to incorporate beads or whatever. I've made a few wearables for friends and family and it's so gratifying to see someone enjoy your work and get to wear a pretty much one-of-a-kind top. Also, crochet tops hide a multitude of "sins". I have a friend who has a nice figure but she's had a few children now so is uncomfortable showing her middle. I made her a top from a pattern from this magazine that had tight stitching at the top for modesty but I did a more openwork diamond type of pattern on the bottom that let her skin show through and she wore it lots of times this last summer. I'm working on another for her for next year and will give it to her for her birthday in February.
I really enjoy this magazine and hoard the issues to keep coming back to them as time allows. I think this is definitely one of the better crochet magazines and worth the money.

Gq - Italian Edition
The only bad thing about this subscription is its price. Luckily, I live in New York and can pick up a copy at Barnes&Noble for less than $10. It's about $40 off the annual subscription... It is simply doesn't make sense for me to subscribe, but I would if I didn't have access to the store.I subscibed to this magazine for a year and I enjoyed it a lot. I have some difficulty reading and understanding the articles but needed to learn. I didn't keep the subscription though because it went higher. I reccommend if you can afford the import premiums.
Dirt Rag Magazine
Look for Bike Mag or Mountain Bike Action for a mag that is less counter culture attitude, more bike magazine!
Read Best Reviews of Dirt Rag Magazine Here
Dirt Rag is the definitive cycling magazine, whether you ride a few miles each month or dozens of miles a day. The staff is as committed to cyclists, cycling products and cycling trends as anyone; you will not find an editorial staff more committed or passionate about cycling.From original fiction to technology reviews to simple columns that celebrate the elements that make cycling the wonderful activity it is, Dirt Rag has long served as a must-read.
As for purchases from the company, I've never encountered any trouble (going so far as to receive personalized email messages to ensure I was happy and satisfied with the service and products I received).If you own a mountain bike, commuter bike, uni, touring bike, snow bike, etc, why do you not already own this magazine? It is beyond awesome! Articles on pump tracks, off road unicycling, trail maintenance and advocacy, and of course, sweet trail riding. We savor and fight over this magazine when it comes in, reading it slowly to make it last 2 months. The only problem I have is this magazine's propensity to put scantily clad females on the cover and in prominent photo shoots. I can overlook that though, because this magazine is so sweet.

Freeman Ideas on Liberty
The Freeman is very different from your standard newsstand reading for countless reasons. First, it touches on subjects that are not often talked about in most magazines. Second, it often offers a perspective that is very different from mainstream magazines. In many ways, its articles are more like those found in a newspaper, since they tend to cover current events and economics/politics. However, unlike the typical American publication, the articles in The Freeman are more intelligent and require a higher level of understanding. Most of the articles in The Freeman would not be included in the average newspaper because they are a little too deep and require a little too much thinking and this is precisely why I like this magazine as much as I do. But most important and obvious among the differences between The Freeman and the average magazine or newspaper is the opinions presented. The Freeman and its many contributors do not hold back when it comes to opinions. They do not attempt to offer a balanced viewpoint or try to sound politically correct. The articles in this magazine are politically charged and they take a consistently libertarian position on all matters, both economic and social. Most every article is a persuasion piece, with the journalists stating in an intellectual and convincing way why their opinion is correct and everyone else is wrong.
One fact about The Freeman that I wish was different is its low number of pages. But there is one valid reason for this: Lack of advertisements. In a typical issue, there might be two small ads at the most, and these ads are usually for the Foundation for Economic Education or ads for books that share the magazine's economic philosophy. This is very nice for those who get tired of flipping through the pages of most magazines and seeing an advertisement on every other page. The Freeman is paid for by the members of the Foundation for Economic Education and through private subscriptions and while the price is higher per issue than most other magazines, the reader gets the enjoyment of having a magazine that is almost completely adfree and dedicated to economic and political talk.
The Freeman is, overall, a solidly intellectual magazine that I will continue to read each month. It offers stimulating reading material from a perspective not often found in magazine publications and it is not a magazine for those who like to read unbiased viewpoints. It would be nice if the issues were a little longer, but The Freeman is still a magazine I recommend to everyone who likes some thoughtprovoking reading material without all the advertisements.
Yachts International (1-year auto-renewal)
Other than the frequency of issues, the quality of the magazine is good, with nice print quality and colorful pictures. A few articles and good coverage of new/developing yachts and mega-yachts.

Listen : Life With Classical Music
Compared to other magazines of its type, I'd say Listen tries to be more like Gramophone or BBC Music Magazine insofar as it is full of color advertising, photos and personality pieces. The summer 2012 issue contained only a four-page "Recommended" section that deals with brief reviews of recorded music. The rest of the pages are dedicated to advertising, pieces on performers, composers, their music or musical venues. In no way does Listen compare to review-heavy magazines like American Record Guide or Fanfare; it is definitely long on glitz and, in my mind, short on substance and content.
That's not to say I dislike the magazine. I recieved it first on a freebie basis, then subscribed for a couple years because of the low subscription price and on the chance it would become more substantial as time went on. One definite advantage is Listen is an easy read, sometimes with fairly interesting content like a story an issue or two back about one-hit wonder Hans Rott, whose Symphony in E inspired Gustav Mahler. The current issue has stories on types of dances, dance at the Guggenheim, Ute Lemper and Profofiev's Cinderella, among others.
I think it is improving in terms of comprehensive content but I am disappointed it does not review more new or reissued recordings. From the looks of things, reviews of recordings are an afterthought for Listen. This seems unusual to me since just about any new website or magazine can acquire lots of free new releases from manufacturers by asking. They can receive more by telling the distributors they will give them good reviews.
As an American that's followed classical music and the classical music press for four decades that first subscribed to High Fidelity and Stereo Review, I'd like to liken Listen to them but it's not in the same category, at least not yet. Listen seems more most dedicated to acquiring color advertising and publishing content aimed at beginners. I don't discount that, especially the advertising, as it is an effective way to show readers about new releases. With sound bytes of new recordings available all over the web, it's important for any publication to tell us about new offerings since we can find the rest ourselves.
To me, Listen: Life With Classical Music is best suited to young people or others new or recent to classical music. Most veteran collectors, performers, musicians and followers won't find much new in it. But the price you'll pay for a subscription -2 years (8 isuses) for less than $15 in the blow-in card in the summer issue) -is unbeatable. I don't know what you last bought new for $2 but it probably wasn't a classical music magazine.I have been a subscriber for the last two years and I must say the magazine is first rate. The interviews are great. Top notch artists have been interviewed (Anne Sophie Mutter, Joshua Bell, Yo Yo Ma etc). The writing is quite good and the magazine is laid out very well. The font size, print quality and reviews are very good.
I like ArkivMusic's 'Listen' all the more because it is published here in America and gives me information on upcoming shows in the US. I agree with another reviewer and wish that this was published more frequently than just four times a year. An excellent value for any classical music fan.

If you love classical music, you will love this magazine and it is actually for US customers. I have subscribed before to many European classical music magazines which are good, except all events mentioned usually do not pertain to US customers. Good articles and music reviews! I wish it were published more than 4 times a year!Read Best Reviews of Listen : Life With Classical Music Here
i FOUND A PRICE OF $13.49 for a 2 TWO YEAR SUBSCRIPTION on the website: webmaster@cinradio.org. Your lower price submission will not accept this as a valid URL.

Raids - French Edition
This is what Soldier of Fortune wishes it was a REAL military magazine, with REAL military and police articles, and without the rantings of wanna-bes long past their prime. You don't get racism, trashy 'journalism' or ads to become a secret private investigator (well, actually, you do on the last one some things are universal).
Yes, it's in French, and it's somewhat expensive. But consider this the Jane's Defense Guide of the military/police magazine rack. It is THE magazine for those interested in actual military/police developments, from a nonbiased source.
Eye Spy
You also get great looks into spy pop culture such as books and movies. If you like spy stuff this is a must get magazine because you also see how Special Forces are helping the intelligence community, as well as get a wide view of other world wide operations not just MI-5, MI-6, Massoud. or the CIA.
A wonderful and excellent magazine....I look forward to every issue
Note US issues are air mail and issues are published every 6 to 8 weeksEye Spy writers come from the world's security and intelligence services and cover a wide range of topics that the big news agencies give short shrift or don't covera at all. Very good intel is provided on the world of espionage. Not a cheap subscription but the best never is!This was a renewal of an existing subscription to this magazine. As a Private Investigator I find this magazine to be very informative and useful. I highy recommend it.If James Bond really existed he would subscribe to this magazine. If your interested in international intrique this is the real deal. Great print quality and color photos. An very professionally done International Spy World of Intrique Magazine.
