Slimming World

This is a great magazine that explains how the Slimming World program works, provides yummy recipes, and presents real-life success stories that are truly inspiring. Some of them are just about unbelievable. The articles are great, relevant.. and are presented in a compassionate way that so many other weight-loss and fitness magazines lack.

I've been on this program for three weeks... and have even cheated terribly several times (only one... possibly two meals a week). This was only because I was out with family and couldn't get food the way I wanted. That being said, I literally STUFF MY FACE with food the rest of the time. I'm a food-noshing MACHINE!! Ready for this?? I know it's not typical (most lose 2-3/wk), but I've lost 18 pounds in 3 weeks!! I'm sure that's partially because I have so much to lose (over 100 pounds), and because the times I didn't cheat, I followed the plan very closely. Honestly, it's not hard to follow, and because so many foods are unlimited (yes... I said UNLIMITED) I'm always satisfied.

No foolin'... this is the EASIEST, most effective thing I've ever tried. I have friends on other plans, but I want to slap my forehead when I see all the point-counting, carb counting and calorie counting they have to do.

It's taught me a liberating truth, folks... FOOD IS NOT THE ENEMY. It's the way we've learned to prepare it and cover it with fat and sugar-laden condiments that's the enemy. Many sauces you can make from fat-free plain yogurt, fat-free cottage cheese, and fat-free sour cream. After a couple weeks of eating that way, the heavy stuff (the way most of America prepares it) tastes.... icky. Gives me a tummy ache.

I was considering lap band before I found this... and I'm thanking God a friend turned me on to this. It's changed my life already!! This program is the light that leads to the end of a long, lonely tunnel. There are people all along the way, cheering you on. It doesn't get any better than this!

Boating (1-year auto-renewal)

A good magazine for boaters interested in mostly trailerable boats. Solid reviews, lots of helpful tips/tricks and great vacation suggestions. Wouldn't mind just a little more content... but it is a boating magazine...

I used to get this magazine years ago and liked it. Now it's all ads. Gone to pot. Very disappointed as I was giving it as a gift.

There is so much other garbage for magazines. It's a pleasure to read every BOATING magazine I get in the mail. I find most product reviews either are now, or will be later, applicable to me and my boat. Yatta Yatta. Yatta. I just enjoy every Issue.

Sfx

Iv'e been getting Sfx for atleast a year now and even though older people tend to buy it as I'm only 15 I still find it really great. It has in depth interviews with actors and actresses from all the major sci-fi shows especially my faves Buffy and Angel. It also contains a spoiler section for all the major shows and reviews all the latest sci-fi books,videos,movies,DVD's and comics.

I have been reading SFX for well over 10 years now and it still has me reading from cover to cover every issue. It is funny, interesting, and covers everything events, tv shows, movies, books... I cannot count how many books I have bought due to the reviews in SFX, or UK television shows that I have sought out after reading about them in these pages. And I have not been disappointed in any of them. It is written by passionate fans of many genres and is without a doubt my favorite magazine (which says a lot as I get over 30 magazines a month!) and if you subscribe, you get the "subscriber only" covers as well as any nifty posters, buttons, or promos that they give away. I just got an "Arrow" poster with "Fringe" on the other side and it totally made my day!

Buy Sfx Now

I've been a reader of SFX for a few years, and I'm happy to say that it's never let me down. It is consistently outstanding and with it's shiny new redesign, it's not only the coolest looking magazine out there but it's also the best publication for celebrating and navigating all things geek. With a team of extraordinarily talented and passionate writers on board, SFX will keep you up-to-date with all of your favourite sci-fi/fantasy shows, writers, directors, comics, and conventions with entertaining and brilliantly written reviews, interviews, columns, and more. If you love SF/fantasy and horror, then this is the magazine for you! Simply put, SFX is frakkin' awesome. As a geek, I'm so grateful to have found it. So say we all! Sfx

Believer

Their Web site sells a year subscription for $45. I find that Amazon, or whoever their affiliate is, repeatedly sells magazine subscritions for more than the actual magazine itself.

I feel like the word "magazine" nominally cheapens the value of The Believer, for it is nothing like what I've come to know as a magazine. What do I mean?

1. There are no advertisements, at all

2. There are almost no photographs, although there are many drawings

3. The story topics are seemingly disparate, yet each tends to relate itself somehow to literature

4. The cover and pages are quality paper and binding, not some flimsy, glossy mess bound with a few staples

Without a doubt, this is my favorite periodical. Each article is stimulating in its own right, even if the topic itself is not interesting.

Buy Believer Now

Yep, pretension is the name of game here. Although it's not really pretension its a kind of uber-pretense, a pretension so pretensive in its self-mockery that it somehow doubles back itself and actually becomes almost worthwhile.

Almost.

The cutesiness of the verbal ticks (each article, for example, is prefaced with a distinctly unnecessary list of issues which will be "discussed")are so studious in their avoidance of any level of seriousness as to be nearly embarassing. The quality of writing is, as one might imagine, mixed. The book reviews are hilariously unimformative, and yet again one suspects this is done on purpose. How gauche do we readers need to be to want to find out what a book is about from a review! Or whether not the book is worth reading! How pedestrian! Pul-ease!

All in all one walks away with the distinct impression that to spend more than 5 minutes in conversation with the Believer (or the McSweeny's) crowd would be an unavoidable prelude to a grisly murder-suicide. Simultaneously brilliant and annoying, The Believer is the sort of thing that people who like this sort of thing will certain like. And even then in small doses, I suspect.

If you want to read one of the most interesting, quirky, insightful and well-written magazines about books and literature being published today, this baby is for you. One of my favorite pieces in the first issue was Heidi Julavits's right-on critique of modern book reviewing. And the interviews of Susan Straight and Galen Strawson were magnificent! As for the design: first rate. So, I am now a believer...and a subscriber.

Want Believer Discount?

How I love you so. The Believer is the latest periodical to begin publishing under the McSweeney's line, a line which includes work by Dave Eggers, Neal Pollack, Rick Moody, and the superfine McSweeney's itself, another journal of stupefying literary proportions. The Believer takes up the nonfiction wing of the building -book reviews, trends, music, interviews, et cetera amen -but does it like no other. These cats do it with style, approaching old subjects from different angles, new perspectives, an insouciant wit, and good old-fashioned gumption, the kind all our grampas talk about. You know.

The articles are smart, the interviews actually interesting, the divergences diverging, and with that Spartan sense of design and oh-so luscious Charles Burns illustrations, The Believer has now become the only periodical I want to make babies with.

Boston Review

BOSTON REVIEW has slowly built a respected reputation among academics and the general reading public during the past twenty-nine years. Articles and essays in a recent edition covered topics such as the Constitution, an immigration crisis in the European Union and the Patriot Act. The contents also included poetry, fiction, nonfiction reviews, letters and a film review. Among the contributors were Elaine Scarry, Larry Kramer, Michael Standaert, Corey Robin and Barbara Clark Smith.

The journal sees itself as a national forum for political debate and boasts about the fact that it is required reading in a course on cultural criticism and critical argument given by the Brown University English department. It appears to be a moderately left-leaning publication but of course that kind of assessment depends on one's vantage point (I am a registered independent). The periodical is highly readable and you don't have to be an academic to enjoy it.

Readers will change as this new format continues with a more commercial slant than it used to be. Sorry to see this once-exceptional publication slack off and turn more mundane to reach more readers. Dull cliched poems now when once more daring verse was presented. Dissapointing to me especially because I think poetry should be engaged with political and social issues instead of bathtubs or blue eyes, etc. There is so much going on in the world that needs coverage and introspection, and, sadly, Boston Review does not deliver it any more.

Threads

This is a quality magazine with a knowledgable staff. I have never been disappointed with an issue--each one has helpful tips that are explained in detail with examples, good graphical representation, and procedures. A while ago my father-in-law asked me how sewing machines worked, how the threads could connect to work at all, and lo and behold, the next issue of "Threads" explained that very concept in an easy-to-understand way. I like how this magazine covers so many different topics. For example, recent issues covered such items as choosing the proper sewing machine needle for your project, how to use the different feet that come with sewing machines, how to make the perfect button hole, which hems for which garment/fabric type. Some sewing magazines just focus on the fads, spending so much time on one subject (like machine embriodery--which would be helpful if I had one!) that those of us relatively new to sewing don't get the real tips and tricks that any sewer needs to create a quality garment or other project. Recommended.

I used to dream about subscribing to Threads and drool over them in the library, but the new format beginning in Fall 2005 is disappointing. They have added many more articles of interest to very new sewers such as how to choose the correct needle for a fabric. This basic info is readily available in many basic sewing books and it is not why I renewed to Threads for another 3 years. This magazine once showed cutting edge techniques and lots of projects that intermediate and advanced sewers could savor. As a beginning sewer I used to dream about conquering the exciting projects in Threads. Now, they have watered it down to appeal to less skilled people at the expense of the projects and information that made it stand out from other sewing magazines. This is still a "good" magazine, but no longer excellent. I wish that I could get back my money for the next 3 years and spend it on fabric.

Buy Threads Now

I have always enjoyed every issue of Threads in the past. The new format / contents does not appeal to me. Threads is now a beginner sewing magazine like many others on the market. Thread's was once a great magazine, the only one on the market for the intermediate and advanced sewers. The projects were wonderful and I and other's I know kept every single issue. Not now, there isn't really much in Thread's for the wearable art/advanced sewer. I will really miss the couture finishing techniqes and other articles with new ideas. These articles were much more detailed than any book. Because of this detail a sewer with some experience could use these articles to become an advanced sewer more quickly than buying many books. I only gave the 2 star's because it is a nice beginner magazine. If you are new to sewing this is a good magazine, but the more advanced sewer's should pass this one up.

I have been sewing for 30 years. I started when I was only eight years old. I thought I knew how to sew. I would see garments in shows and wonder how some people could do such a beautiful job. I finally found the answer! This magazine covers so many topics to really sharpen sewing skills and make projects have that extra special touch. The articals are interesting and the instuctions are clear. Even the ads are helpful to find the hard to get items. I would highly recomend this magazine to anyone that sews.

I simply love this magazine. Over the years as I have taken on a sewing project. The odd class play costume, pair of curtains or the shirt I wanted. This Magaizine has always had the best explainations of sewing instructions, plus pictures to go along.

I have enjoyed their insightful discussions of fabrics as well as all the latest "news" from the wide world of garment making. I apperciate that they are not devoted to making holiday crafts! The world does not need another set of fluff instructions.

I look foward to the beautiful back page of historical fabric as well every month.

Its the only magazine of which I have ever collected an entire set of back issues. These I consider a bit of a "Sewing Safty Net" They are worth their weight in gold.

Some day maybe I'll buy the issues binders.

Woodsmith

Over the years, I have subscribed to several woodworking publications. While I am no woodworking wizard, I am an enthusiast who find the projects and writing of the Woodsmith staff to be among the best I have read. The pages are durable (unlike the cheap paper found in some magazines), the projects are interesting, the work shop projects and jigs are fun and best of all, no advertisements to weed through. Just page after page of useful information. Each magazine provides a cutlist (nothing unique to Woodsmith) and specific information for hardware (where to get it, the product number and finish) or other misc materials they use in their projects. They also have free woodworking videos online.

I actually read the magazine that this site Woodsmith.com supports. There are no surprises here. The site and the magazine shows tools and techniques of building art and practical objects from wood. There are detailed plans for many desirable objects.

A practical example is the making of dovetails. I am not an artist. So it takes practice. Well if you are rich there are tools that make them perfect every time. So what is the alternative? It is technique and the magazine shows how to measure twice and cut once. You can actually become a wood smith.

The site its self is more than just a composite or supplement to their magazine. It is easy to navigate to fine all kinds of recourses and tips. You can also purchase Binders to hold and keep your Woodsmith magazines.

My husband and I are still outfitting our house to make it a home. This magazine is loaded with ideas and full project plans for furniture, descriptions of the proper aspects to look for in tools, plans for setting up your workshop and making your own jigs plus tips! Our 100+ year old home has certainly benefited from this magazine and my husband now has a fulfilling and useful hobby!

There are two magazines on woodworking that no one should be without; Woodsmith and Fine Woodworking. Both are excellent and I have every issue.

I missed a couple of years of Woodsmith because I thought I was not going to do much in woodworking again since I also have other hobbies, and the house we have now is too full with furniture I made from both magazines, and of my own design. Now we are building a new house, my interest has been renewed, and that is what I did again with Woodsmith, I started up the subscription again. As soon as I figure out where I left off, I will be getting the back issues I missed, or the DVD (which I got recently with the FW magazine, well worth it too, so I might spring for the Woodsmith DVD).

The pages are thick, not flimsy like other magazines, and will last a lifetime. The first issue of Woodsmith is still as new as ever, and I have been keeping them all in the binders they also sell; helps keep everything in one place and the binders are very nice too, they have a slight padding inside the vinyl of the face and back of the binder.

I have built many projects from Woodsmith, including a secretary bookcase in a Chippendale style, where the bottom of the desk came from Woodsmith, the top from FW. Without these magazines, I would not have been able to do either, so that alone is worth every penny I spent on the subscriptions. Of course, I have built several other projects too. But these magazines make it so easy to do.

This is an awesome woodworkers magazine that has the most beautiful projects and the complete instructions to go along with them. It also has tips and tricks to aid you with your project from the magazine or on your own projects. I highly recommend this magazine and also recommend purchasing magazine through amazon.com, they offer great deals and if you renew a sub there is no delay in delivery.

Cottage Journal

This magazine is so wonderful!! Chocked full of wonderful decor and recipes!! The reader who said that it was cottage is using her description of what cottage is to define what she feels is cottage. . .but her definition of cottage only encompasses a portion of the market and they are concerned with the whole market. . .to me cottage is more of a feeling. I love all kinds of cottages. . .beach, mountain etc. Each has more of specific feel but all are cottages. Magazine is great you will not be disappointed unless you are expecting only one type of cottage.

I simply adore the first Winter issue of The Cottage Journal! It is so nice to have a winter-themed issue in addition to the Christmas/holiday-themed issue. Everything about this magazine is warm and cozy with tons of fireplace and cabin settings along with snowy scenery. It is definitely shows cold weather cottage style and decor. I only wish I could visit and recreate the rooms shown! I am looking forward to seeing the Spring issue with all its pretty floral-themed cottages and bright colors!

Just gotta say this magazine is NOT my idea of "cottage". I like quaint, shabby, charming, cute, pretty, vintage, antique, cozy, etc. To me those words define the "cottage" look. So I subscribed.

I just received the winter issue of Cottage Journal & it is, in one word, BROWN. All the pictures are brown brown wood, brown furniture, brown dishes, brown fabric, just brown. Now that is just not cottage to me. Where is the quaint, the chintz, the white, the cream, the shabby, the vintage, the cozy??? the pink, the aqua, the yellow, the green??? Have these people ever seen cottage decor? I will say this is a really good quality magazine with tons of pictures, nice & large, cover to cover just not pictures of anything I would want to copy in my own home some are downright ugly. I don't get it they should have named the magazine whatever is opposite to "cottage" journal. I will not be renewing my subscription $24 for 6 issues.

Urban Farm (1-year auto-renewal)

I like magazine overall. Great articles teaching you how to make hybrid trees and bee keeping for example. There a few articles that seemed a bit contrived community action. I get the social aspect, but I would rather have more focus on the techniques, how-tos, and learning than the social aspects. I would recommend this magazine to people living in urban areas.

I ordered this magazine on a whim during a promotion and both my husband and I are fans. My husband has previously remarked he would like to try keeping chickens and bees, and this magazine gives practical information and stories of those as well as on topics like container and community gardens. The content focuses on sustainable living without being preachy, with beautiful pictures. The magazine arrived quickly, within 2-3 weeks of placing my order. Most of the ads are in the back of the magazine, except when related to article content. Overall, the magazine is informative, a little quirky and fun.

Buy Urban Farm (1-year auto-renewal) Now

`Green' magazines often preach instead of teach with a finger-wagging attitude that makes reading a chore. Urban Farm makes sustainable living a fun, informative read.

The clean, easy-to-read design blends nicely with beautiful, full-color photographs and how-to illustrations that appear cover-to-cover.

This edition included 12 feature stories, four columns Backyard Coop, Curbside Tools, Green Thumb and Urban Feast and a handful of other pieces. Here are Urban Farm's five cover teasers in the July/August 2011 edition:

* Grow Hot Peppers on a windowsill or a balcony

* Street Smarts: Forage for Urban Edibles

* 4 Easy Steps to Freezer Jam

* Simple Bio-Retention: Incorporate a Rain Garden into Your Landscape

* Sweet Corn Season Arrives! Details and recipes inside

The most interesting feature is Debbie Moors' story `Not Just Window Dressing.' The story features the Windowfarms Project and introduces home-hydroponic systems that are built from the contents of a recycling bin.

I can't say enough about the photography. Sure, there are some stock photos but the main features nicely balance all the elements. Rhoda Peacher's freezer jam photos are simply mouth-watering (Yum! Brambleberry!) There are eight step-by-step color photos accompanying Michael Locke's instructions on how to build a kitchen table from a salvaged pre-hung door (each photo is given enough real estate that you won't need to rummage through a junk drawer for a magnifying glass).

In summary, Urban Farm is my best, new magazine subscription in recent memory. I'm pleasantly surprised by the use of color, quality content and the friendly tone. I used to find myself flipping through Better Homes and Gardens and Good Housekeeping, looking for something interesting to pop out but more often disappointed in the results. I didn't bother to renew Real Simple, which is chock full of pricey gadgets and so bereft of utilitarian advice it should be classified as a home show catalog instead of a magazine. If you subscribe to these other magazines and find them unfulfilling then I recommend Urban Farm.

Rating: Five stars.

I received the first issue of this magazine and I like it. It has a lot of good articles that are applicable to gardening such as raising rabbits and chickens. Some of the articles tend to be a bit too left-wing envirnomentalist for me, but overall I still like the magazine.

Want Urban Farm (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

I live in the suburbs with about a half acre of back yard to work with. I have a large garden, chickens, bees, and dreams for future projects. I also like Hobby Farm and thought this would be some of the same with the town dweller in mind. Unfortunately, I have not been excited by my subscription. I don't find anything I can't find in Mother Earth News and I'm not especially motivated to take many of the articles a step further. I have no problem with any ideological slant that might be present but I don't find myself inspired by it either. I honestly wished I liked it more but I'm sure I can get my backyard farmer fix filled by other sources.

MAKE: Technology on Your Time

Make: Technology on Your Own Time is not a book... exactly. It's a mook, which is a hybrid of a magazine and a book. It's a magazine, but not a typical one. In my initial perusal, I think I wasn't high on it because I'm not into home projects because I don't have time.

I read it closely. Shortly, I became engaged and enjoyed reading the articles. Though I don't plan to make anything (like I'm going to put a monorail in my backyard-yes, this is a real project), the stories and the writing drew me in.

I like geeky things, but I'm not a geek in terms of building computers from scratch and hacking gadgets. These are the kinds of projects covered in the mook. The premiere issue includes the following projects: magnetic stripe card reader, camera on a kite, $14 video camera stabilizer or buy one, and a 5-in-1 network cable.

The quarterly mook has a Web site with things not covered in the print edition as well as a blog. Its design is clever with color codes on the cover and side for the major projects. The initial issue has 192 pages of quality paper and color printing to justify $8.74 an issue.

The mook has a homemade yet professional feel and has "home improvement" style fonts to add to its DIY (do-it-yourself) theme. The photos give the impression they're taken by average people and not photographers. They're good quality and complement the articles.

People who don't have time to build and like technology will find it an engrossing read thanks to the personable writing and instructions that don't make eyes glaze. Few new magazines make it past the first year or so. Make should thrive for years to come.

This quarterly magazine really hits the spot, if you're in its crosshairs. It's a clean miss for others.

It's pretty easy to tell whether you're in the target audience. Do you have a closet full of decommisioned PCs, cell phones, and other 21st-century rubble that you just know you could do "something" with? Do you have a Dremel tool, fine-tipped soldering iron, and more than one kind of epoxy in the house? Do the phrases "It works" and "It's beautiful" mean roughly the same thing to you? Does the idea of a home CNC milling machine stir you to jealousy or a quick look at your checkbook? Two or more yes answers probably qualify you as the intended reader.

This is about hacking your PC mouse or the cage for your pet mouse, about resurrecting last year's laptop as an electronic photo frame, and about how simple a robot control can be (you'd be surprised). It's like Popular Mechanics, but for the people who consider software, resistors, and pieces from antique clocks to be interchangeable. Although a few of the ideas in each issue have low-tech appeal, most are aimed at skill sets from "geeky highschooler" to "electronics professional".

This magazine comes from O'Reilly, the publisher who fills the bookshelves of dilbertian cube farms everywhere. In some ways, this looks like a self-concious attempt at community-building, creating a forum for home robot-builders and artisans of the silicon age. Well, maybe that's not a bad thing the communities are out there, but not easy for a beginner to find or to break into. It also helps that the the minimal advertising (part of the reason for the hefty cover price) is well targeted to the electronic and gadgeteering hobbyist. The title is only up to issue number 6 at this writing, so I'm not sure that it's wholly found itself yet. For example, I would have preferred a schematic for some of the circuits in addition to the assembly instructions. Still, with a scriptwriter from MacGyver, there's a lot to like here for the right reader.

Buy MAKE: Technology on Your Time Now

I just received the premiere issue of Make Magazine from O'Reilly yesterday. Let me just say this mag is a geek's dream come true. It's not a magazine about coding. Heck, I'm not sure if calling it a magazine is even accurate. It's more of a journal or zine (but with higher production values). A geek quarterly, if you will.

For example... the premiere issue features an article on aerial photography. Not geeky enough for you? Ok, how about aerial photography accomplished by rigging up a camera to a kite? Still not geeky enough? Throw in a homemade mechanism for triggering the shutter from the ground. The best part is, this isn't just an article full of theory. These guys DO this stuff. The article is full of pictures, plans and step by step instructions on how to make it happen.

That's not all... other How-To articles include: making a 5-in-1 network cable, making a magnetic stripe reader, XM Radio hacks, tips and tricks for your IPOD, gmail hacks, IPAQ hacks and a lot more. This puppy is just under 200 pages of D-I-Y technology.

Still not geeky enough? How about an article on how to make your own railgun, using magnets, a ruler and some steel bearings? There's also an article about hacking robotic dogs to sniff out toxic waste. This is geek goodness in all it's glory.

If you like reading 2600 (the hacker quarterly), Maximum PC and Scientific American, roll them all into one and you have Make (but without the attitude of Maximum PC and the leetspeak of 2600). I'm gonna subscribe!

This fine magazine is a cross between WIRED, American Woodworker, Popular Mechanics and Scientific American. Each issue features four very detailed DIY projects, along with short descriptions and general guides to a few others. Combined with the DIY info, there is the usual mix of opinion articles, political commentary, news summaries, letters, articles about crazy DIY-folk, etc.

The four "core" DIY projects in each issue include step-by-step instructions, full parts lists and extensive photos (or screenshots). All parts lists also include sources, which is important in an age where the parts department of Radio Shack just isn't what it used to be.

The projects featured in each issue are usually funky, weird, stuff that only a tiny fraction of the readers will actually build. As another reviewer said, most of the projects are simply not that useful. However, just because the projects aren't exactly useful doesn't mean they aren't cool. Will I ever build a timed cat feeder powered by a castoff VCR and a recycled hand-crank meat grinder? No. Do I think that the idea of recycling the motors and control circuits to do such a thing is neat? Of course, and any "real" geek would agree.

Most electronic projects assume basic soldering skills (an introduction to soldering is available in Vol 1), and most computer projects natrually involve more skill than just booting the machine.

Outside of the "core" projects in each issue, the "DIY" section features a bunch of abbreviated project summaries, with the expectation you will have to scrounge some of your own parts, and be able to read a schematic diagram. A geeky friend could probably help you out with those if you are in over your head.

Yes, this magazine is expensive. $34.95/yr for four issues sounds like a lot. However, the ads are far less intrusive than they would be in a cheaper magazine, the articles better written, and to make it suitable for use in an actual workshop, it is printed on sturdy bond paper and bound with a cardstock cover.

As with any magazine, some issues and some articles are better than others, but on the whole, the quality of the magazine is quite high.

Many have said that most of the tutorials in the magazine can be found on the web in various forms, scattered about. That is completely true. Nevertheless, it is convenient to have the information in a fairly well-tested magazine that has the added advantage of being on paper.

In summary, if the sort of topics covered in MAKE interest you, I know of no other magazine on the market that is better.

Love the magazine. It is absolutely fascinating, but, most of the projects require the digital subscription, which amazon does not include, even though you are paying for it. You need to get the magazine directly from makezine.com

Its nearly impossible to do the projects in this magazine without the access to the web.
