Nursing Management

I purchased this subscription for my mother, who works in Nurse Management. So far she absolutely loves it. She was actually just telling me that she's going to bring it to work to share with coworkers.

You can get a subscription for less directly from OA. The last issue (#53) was $4.95 in stores. The previous issue, an annual affair, was $10.00 in stores. Since they only have 4 issues per year, the sale price above is not a sale.

I never read the magazine all the way through, but I do skim most of the articles and read some of them. The reading material, both fiction and nonfiction, is unusual. "Quirky" fits the bill. In one fairly recent issue, I ran across a wonderful short story written as if it were a very badly composed term paper. It was quite funny, even if it was painful to read at times. I passed it around to several colleagues at the university where I teach & they got a kick out of it. Two nonfiction favorites were articles on (a) AIDS in rural Alabama and (b) an architecture professor at Auburn University whose students build unusual housing for the poor using readily available materials. The piece included photos of the housing.

I also really enjoy the annual music issue, which includes a CD. Every cut on the CD is accompanied by a short essay (roughly 2 pages) about the singer. Usually, the music issue will have a mix of a few well known singers singing less well known selections and several singers of whom I've never heard. I won't say that I like all the singers. That's not the point. Exposure to different styles is the point. I also usually discover a few singers that I like & would never have heard of otherwise.

This is a great magazine that deserves a bigger readership. It's only published quarterly but I bet the quality could remain the same if it were a monthly. The current issue, #55, has writing by Barry Hannah, Roy Blount Jr., and Sven Birkerts. Oxford American could become the "New Yorker" for people who hate the Northeast but love good writing. Or you could read both and get the best in American fiction and essays.

I am not happy that there is such a LONG wait for my subscription to get started. Is this a problem with Amazon.com? I've already paid in full Why must I wait two months to get my first copy?

Hopscotch : the Magazine for Girls

A friend gave us her back issues of this magazine. It is full of fun, ideas, and experiments. I like the idea of no advertisements. I like that there's no agenda of trying to make little girls grow up too fast (no make-up, hair styles, fashion, etc.). Not sure if they still do this, but there's a section where you can get a pen pal through the magazine. Several letters were from home schooled kids. I wouldn't down-grade product that tells you in the description that it takes 12-16 weeks to arrive. It does sound like a long time, but it was disclosed upon ordering.

I ordered this magazine along with Fun for Kidz two years ago. My girls love them and even use them for school. There are no inappropriate articles and no advertisements. I have had no problem and have renewed and ordered for friends. I would recommend these magazines.

She didn't receive the first one until May, the second arrived in September. She should have received every 2 months. I am looking for a different magazine for her for this year.

When ordering this magazine you have to wait a very long time before the first magazine arrives. I ordered this magazine for my niece in March and it is now May. The first magazine is suppose to arrive late May early June. I cannot give this product a good rating because the product has not yet arrived.

Angels on Earth

Some anonymous person left three issues of this magazine in the chiropractor's office, where my wife started reading and then asked if she could have them. Sure, said the receptionist. Thus were we introduced to a very inspirational magazine. Who knows? Maybe it was angel-guided. We like this magazine enough to subscribe -which is what brought me here to do this review.

"Angels on Earth" is published six times a year by Guideposts, which many people know through the "Guideposts" magazine (inspirational) and holiday theme books. Although Guideposts is definitely a Christian publisher, the "Angels" magazine itself is non-denominational and even inter-religious at times. One of the three issues we found in the doctor's office had a story about a Jewish Holocaust survivor. Another story was about a child looking for a lost cat, with no real focus on God as such, other than being "guided" to look in an unlikely place. Some of the people in the stories aren't all that religious or, if they are, their particular religion is presented as a part of their personal bio as it fits into the story, not as preaching or "witnessing."

The illustrations, too vary widely -from "church Sunday school" pictures of angels from the Renaissance Masters, to more ordiinary drawings of sea captains, cops, lumberjacks, ordinary moms and dads -depending on the story they illustrate. (If you know "Guideposts", you know the artwork -otherwise, think "Reader's Digest.")

The purpose of the magazine is not to convert you to anything but, rather, to tell true stories about people who have had encounters with guardian angels. "Belief" is left up to the reader. Some of the angel stories are of the "miracle" type: surviving car crashes, shipwrecks, serious illnesses, etc. Others are of the more "ordinary" type, such as the stranger who is there at the right moment. This fits with the Jewish POV of an angel, since the Hebrew word, malach, can refer either to a supernatural being or an earthly messenger.

Personally, I believe in angels, and I find the stories fascinating. Granted, some of them might strike you as versions of "The Vanishing Hitchhiker." On the other hand, all the stories are first-person, by-lined accounts, often with photos of the people or animals involved. And how do we know the Vanishing Hitchhiker isn't a real angel sometimes?

Angels on Earth magazine was mentioned in a blog I stumbled upon about a year ago. On a whim, I decided to subscribe. It was money well-spent.

This little magazine is filled with short articles and some surprisingly beautiful illustrations to give you that little shot of inspiration to carry you through another day of life. I sometimes stash it in my bag, and when I have a moment I read a page or two, and it gives me a sense of peace and calm.

Sometimes, you just need to stop and smell the roses... or see the Angels! I've passed old issues of it on to others, and they have all fallen in love with Angels on Earth magazine.

Perhaps you will, too.

Angels have a habit of appearing at just the right moment and in the most unlikely of places. In the January/February 2008 issue Angels on Earth magazine these "messengers" (the word angel comes from the Greek word "angelos" which means messenger.) were spotted in a fancy French restaurant, on duty after Hurricane Katrina, and during a moment of weakness. In my own case, my Valentine Angel (pg 44) worked for the local utility company.

Reading about the angelic encounters of others can give us hope in our own life. "Every visible thing in this world," said St Augustine, "is put under the charge of an angel." Angels do exist and if you are open you will soon have your own story to share.

The Economist (1-year auto-renewal)

Reading The Economist is a very different experience from that of reading the "big three"-Time, Newsweek, and US News-for two reasons.

First, it's a British publication, written in a very British manner. It's tone can vary from flatly dry to dryly ironic to jarringly blunt. There's nothing here that one can call politically correct; the authors and editors call 'em as they see 'em.

Second, it's a serious news magazine. Each issue is packed with stories about current affairs, politics, economics, and business. There are also book and movie reviews. However, there is almost no pop culture news and absolutely none of the celebrity gossip that has begun to corrupt the "big three."

It's important to understand that reading The Economist takes some commitment of time and effort, probably at least two or three hours an issue. Every article is deeply analytical, and many stories are revisited weekly for updates. This is a NEWS magazine, not a news MAGAZINE, if that makes sense.

The issue of political bias always arises with the media. The Economist takes definite stands on nearly every issue, and those editorial stands are clearly stated and defended. However, it is at the same time scrupulously fair and balanced. That's quite a trick, but the staff pulls it off week after week.

So, if you're ready and willing to spend some time reading thoughtful, thought-provoking, in-depth analysis of the news of the world, you won't find a better news magazine than The Economist.

(You might want to buy a copy on a magazine rack somewhere and check the subscription offers on the insert cards. They're almost certain to be better than the Amazon price.)

Bill Gates once said in an interview that he reads every page of The Economist. It's no coincidence that so do a lot of other smart and influential political, business, academic and media leaders throughout the world. If you want to know everything about everything, you need to start reading this on a weekly basis.

The Economist's tightly argued and balanced expository pieces illuminate realm after realm of the world's politics, history, economics, business, finance, books, arts, science and technology. Its often lighthearted, wry tone does nothing to conceal its serious purpose and curiousity in the progression of human events.

The magazine pulls no punches and offers a range of sharp, unsentimental opinions from its well-known free market, liberal democratic perch. I myself don't often agree with The Economist's take on things (though I even more often do--there's a lot of stuff in every issue). Nonetheless, I always respect its reasoning and objectivity.

Also, regular extensive readers like Mr. Gates know well and have almost come to depend upon the magazine's more tangibly personal benefits: imagine what the absorption and consideration of so much incisive argumentation and news background on a weekly basis does to the mind! At the risk of sounding a bit far-fetched, I always feel sharper and wiser when I've been reading The Economist.

I apologize for the effusiveness of this review, but if you can't tell by now, I can't say enough great things about this magazine. Highly recommended.

I subscribed to The Economist over a year ago after having found myself purchasing copies at some six dollars per pop at local bookstores. The price for a magazine subscription was higher than I would normally pay (some two dollars per copy was the best rate I could locate). But the in-store issues I had purchased were just so good that I found myself returning every week for the next copy, and that was turning out to be TRULY expensive. So, I made the plunge for a subscription to try it out.

I was not disappointed. The Economist has turned out for me to be without doubt one of the best magazines to which I've ever subscribed. The publication reads more like a detailed world briefing than a magazine, and its coverage of events from around the world is impressive in nearly every respect. I find that a weekly perusal of the magazine has broadened my horizons immeasurably, allowing me to learn about important people, events, and issues both within and outside the North American context. It is a publication that I look forward to reading each week, and it has shown me how very little "news" one gets by simply sitting down in front of the television (which has a significant portion of its time dedicated to running inane commercials, and the rest a playing of little "news reports" that are cycled endlessly, even over days) and assuming that what one is receiving is the sum of the news for the day. (It isn't.)

The Economist breaks up its print edition each week into geographical regions (The United States, the Americas, Europe, The Middle East and Africa, Asia, and Britain) and other topical categories (International, Business, Finance and Economics, Science and Technology, Books and Arts, Obituary, and Economic and Financial Indicators). There are also the regular weekly repeating columns, such as "The World this Week" (a summary digest of the world's news in short paragraphs). Opinion pieces each week include Charlemagne (covering issues within the European Union), Bagehot (covering Britain), Lexington (covering the United States), and Buttonwood (covering financial issues), in addition to current issues of interest (recent issues focused on Sarkozy's bid for the French Presidency, and The Economist openly supported Sarkozy, even printing one issue with Sarkozy in the place of the famous Napoleon portrait by David). In addition, the magazine regularly publishes "special features," insets to the magazine, typically some 15 pages in length, covering either a specific region of the world, a city, or a financial issue. Many of these special features are also available as individual reprints for educational use.

Most articles in The Economist are just the right length to make sitting down with the issue for half an hour a day the perfect schedule for working through the magazine in time for the next weekly issue to arrive. A web-based edition of the magazine, complete with a searchable index of articles that have appeared in the magazine over the years in addition to the current issue, is available free to all print subscribers (one must use the customer number from the print edition to create the free online account). This is a perfect magazine for daily reading.

In a day and age when publications seem to be getting dumbed-down by the minute, The Economist is a place where one can find a comprehensive review and digest of news from around the world. We don't have to agree with all the perspectives the magazine takes, but we can certainly benefit from the outstanding coverage the publication provides. Reading it each week becomes an education in itself, and due to its wide-ranging scope, I now realize that purchasing my own subscription was a truly "economical" thing to do.

The Economist is a British weekly news and international affairs magazine which contains high quality articles on current affairs, economy, business, and some science and technology. It contains articles that cover many countries and regions of the world. The articles are often analytical in nature and do not reflect any obvious political bias despite the fact that the economist takes an argued editorial stance based on classical liberalism. The target readership is educated people in general (not just economists or business people).

The Economist also contains interesting financial data and statistics of various kinds. The economic and financial indicators are published at the end of the magazine in every issue. The statistics is often used to compare countries, economically, politically, socially, and in other respects, which is something I am personally interested in. The magazine is sold extensively in both Europe and North America. Some people in Europe consider the Economist to be "conservative" and some people in North America consider it "secular humanist". In my opinion both viewpoints are more or less correct. I used to read Newsweek, Time and the U.S. News, and I still do sometimes, however, the Economist is a more interesting magazine that is still easily accessible. Reading the Economist is for me, one of the best ways to relax.

Let's face it, us middle-aged guys really only read the third of, say, MOTORCYCLIST that concerns the big bikes with the fat seats. The rest of it breeds in us a slow boil of resentment--of course we're not *aware* we're feeling this, cuz were guys--at the little, fast bikes that are ridden by little, fast people.

We need a magazine about bikes with big, wide seats. Like ours.

Enter MOTORCYCLE CRUISER.

With a name like that, there's very little left for a reviewer to say. Whether you take your cruzer in inches or metrics, this very cool magazine is chock full of great articles about'em and pages of way too cool accessories that--once you've seen'em--you wonder how you got along without knowing they made stuff like that.

There's a spunky edge to the writing, too. The August 2007 cover story is a bake-off between the mid-class Honda, Star, and Suzuki products. It's title? 'Rise of the Middle Class'. There were grins all around when they thought of that one.

Really, it's a great magazine for cruzer-heads and cruzer admirers. Buy it.

Westchester (1-year auto-renewal)

Westchester magazine is an excellent magazine geared, of course, to the residents of Westchester County in New York State. I live right on the border of Westchester in Putnam County, so when I saw this magazine I picked it up-and then I couldn't put it down!

The articles are very well written; and over time you will learn a great deal about Westchester, what's going on there and more. There are articles about the history of Westchester as well. Everything is well written and beautifully laid out on the page. You find out what's good and what's considered not so good--and of course you can choose for yourself. Westchester magazine also has a plethora of fascinating pictures to go with the articles in each issue.

The magazine is printed on good quality paper and you can subscribe so you never miss an issue.

There are a few more ads than I would have liked; but a fair amount of these ads are geared toward Westchester residents.

Overall, I highly recommend this magazine as a must-have for residents of Westchester County, New York.

I've found this magazine great for keeping up with lots of things in Westchester. The issues rating restaurants, salons, etc. are great, as I didn't grow up here and it gives me some ideas when choosing places to eat, get my hair done, etc. I also appreciate knowing about concerts and other entertainment. All in all, a great buy for me.
