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.

Leonardo
This journal does not lend itself to passive enjoyment as the articles are of professional grade. I have a BA in studio art and was able to follow most of what I read, but not all of it due to the technical subject matter. More accessible magazines might be Scientific American or Popular Science (1-year), depending on what you are looking for. Of course, only Leonardo specializes in art, music, science, and technology, the other magazines mentioned being much more general. If you are working with experiments similar to those covered in the journal, and certainly if you would consider the artists and musicians peers, this is the journal for you!
As you would imagine, the journal covers electronic arts, computer arts, fractals, nanotechnology, and the like. But it also covers issues of biology and neuroscience. Further, some art relates to land art and environmentalism. Other topics include communication, communication systems, and human perception. Finally, there are also some issues of textiles and fashion covered. The music issue covers contemporary composers and their experiments. This includes electronic instruments that they may build themselves with photos of the finished products as well as detailed schematics. As mentioned earlier, there is a CD included of music and experiments done by the composers on the machines covered in the journal.
There are numerous calls for papers throughout the journal. This is where it can be interactive and encourage networking with like-minded artists and musicians. As a matter of fact, I would say that this is its purpose. This journal is *not* infotainment! Especially with the music issue, if you are not working on the types of projects discussed, much of it can go over your head. But if this is your scene, this journal is an excellent resource. Beyond the main articles, there are also book reviews and information about ongoing projects and what academic institutions are sponsoring them.
This journal could also be helpful to historians, philosophers, or other professionals who are interested in the topics covered. If you can handle the high level of technical discussion, this journal can be a great entryway to a new world or can keep you up on the topics of your interest. Still, primarily, it is a journal of newness and capturing said newness as it unfolds. So, a pre-existing sophistication is all but required to continue to understand the diverse topics covered. In some cases, additional reading may be necessary. Of course, due to the diversity of the material covered, there is likely to be an occasional article that is simply inaccessible due to its esoteric nature. But, still, for the right persons, almost all of the material is perfectly accessible and thoroughly enjoyable!

Tricycle : the Buddhist Review
Those interested in Buddhism should also look into "The Shambhala Sun" magazine, which comes every 2 months and which, though leans more towards Tibbatan Buddhism, does carry superb articles, book reviews and practical instructions. I think it is every bit as useful as Tricylcle.
Lastly those more inclined towards Zen Buddhism would like "The Mountain record", a quarterly magazine. It seems too abstract to me though, although I appreciate some of the articles and practically all the superb photographs it has in black and white.Are you a Buddhist, enjoy meditation, or are you interested in learning more about Buddhism? Then this may be the magazine for you.
Tricycle is well written, has great photos, and is a very nice looking magazine. (The quality of the paper, heavy with a glossy coating, gives the magazine a 'coffee table book' feel.)
What I liked most about my subscription to Tricycle was that as a Buddhist in America I felt more of a connection to others who share the same interest. I also enjoyed reading articles on the different schools of Buddhism. Even the advertisements were helpful in learning more about cushions, retreat centers and more.
Of all the Buddhist magazines now entering the market this one seems, to me, to be the best of the group. Enjoy your subscription!
Buy Tricycle : the Buddhist Review Now
While I am not a Buddhist,(our son and friends are) I still love, appreciate and gain wisdom from this wonderful publication, which I was exposed to over a decade ago by Zen master Don Gilbert of Tracy, CA. And I was so excited, if that's the right word, when the new issue arrived, because two articles caught my eye.One is titled (page 39) The Gossip Trap and should be read by most Americans. Page 40 'What are we achieving by holding up a magnifying glass instead of looking in the mirror?' Or page 111 'If speech has five marks, O monastics, it is well spoken, not badly spoken, blameless, and above reproach by the wise. What are the five marks? It is speech that is timely, true, gentle, purposeful, and spoken with a mind of loving kindness. -the Buddha (Auguttara Nikaya).
The second (page 62) is titled Growing Ground and is a serious but also humorous piece about composting toilets at a Zen center in Southern California. All about the process of human waste becoming compostable soil and the funny things that happen when one has to turn the stuff with wood chips, leaving the drop door open so that cold wind and not warm air hits the bottom end of those who sit down to make a deposit. Page 54 'Once they get going, wood chips and waste have the kind of chemistry and connection that puts most human couples to shame'.
Alas, this is a mature, thoughtful publication to be sure. But it also doesn't take itself so seriously that one cannot see the simple joy in ones life, that sadly, to many Americans wont slow down to see.
Read Best Reviews of Tricycle : the Buddhist Review Here
Tricyle is the oldest American Buddhist periodical, dating from 1991. It is published quarterly on high-quality, glossy paper. According to the publication's website, the name "Tricyle" derives from the Three Treasures (or Triple Jems) of Buddhism: the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sanga. The goal of the magazine, again according to its website is"to create forums for exploring contemporary and historic Buddhist activity, examine the impact of its new context in the democratic tradtions of the West, and introduce fresh views and attainable methods for enlightened living to the culture at large. At the core of the Foundation's mission is the alleviation of suffering that Buddhist teachings are meant to bring about."
I have been a reader of Tricyle since the late 1990s and the publication has grown on me. The magazine makes a strong effort to live up to its mission and usually succeeds. American Buddhism remains nebulous and diverse. Tricyle has articles which appeal to a variety of readers of different backgrounds, Buddhist interests, and levels of commitment. Many of the articles are specific to Buddhism in the West and to life in the United States. Other articles explore the variety of traditional Buddhisms and schools, from Theravada to Mahayana, Zen, Tibetan, Pure Land, and more. I have found articles with insight into meditation and into Buddhist Scriptures.
There is a considerable topical focus to the magazine with articles on the environment, feminism, abortion, war and peace, American politics, social activism and much more. Political views tend to be on the left side of the American spectrum. This made me wary when I first began with Tricycle. As I continued with the magazine, I became more attuned to the Buddhist discussions and less bothered by political views with which I sometimes disagreed. I enjoy the book review section of the magazine and the frequent discussions among readers and contributors. There is a good deal of advertising which some readers have found brings too much consumerism to the publication. But bills need to be paid, and I find many of the advertisements helpful in learning about Buddhism and its resources in the United States.
Readers of the magazine will learn about the breadth and seriousness of American Buddhism. They will probably also see that it remains very much a work in progress. The magazine is written on a high level, but it remains accessible to readers with spiritual interests who may not be scholars or intellectuals. Tricycle of course will be of most interest to readers interested in Buddhism, but it also will appeal to readers with a non-sectarian interest in the development of spiritual life in the United States. I continue to look forward to receiving my copy of the magazine every three months.

Want Tricycle : the Buddhist Review Discount?
I've enjoyed Tricycle for many years, but it does contain a lot of advertising, and I'm baffled when the publisher solicits donations to keep the magazine running. I'd rather see them fully embrace one form of revenue or the other. If they're not-for-profit, what's with all the slick ads?Essentially, Tricycle seems to be heading towards a more self-serving model of publishing. Perhaps I simply miss the days when it was fresh and vibrant with new ideas.
Still, four stars!

Trinidad Express Newspaper
With a considerable Trinidadian diaspora spread across the globe, the Trinidad and Tobago Express news website, then known as the Internet Express, grew quickly into one of the top visited websites about Trinidad and Tobago. Given the large audience of the website, with up to 10,000 hits per day, it has become one of the online centrepieces of CCN. In 2002, newscasts of the television channel CCN TV6, and its televised daily polls, were carried out using an integrated website of the Trinidad and Tobago Express. That same year, the joint staff of the Trinidad and Tobago website also created an e-commerce venture online called the Express MarketPlace, which was later renamed CaribBuy in 2003. In order to remain focused, a CCN New Ventures division was created within CCN to take control of the various websites.
The Express newspaper is the second oldest of the daily Trinidad and Tobago newspapers.
