France Football - Tuesday Edition

France Football - Tuesday EditionThis is truly the bible of all Soccer Magazines. No magazine on the planet covers the entire game as well as France Football. Loaded with Stats and great articles on players, coaches and in general everything else about the game. They're also the ones who award the prestigious Balloon D'Or (Golden Ball) which is considered to be the best of the World Soccer player of the year awards. They've been doing it much longer than FIFA. Well worth the subscription price.

Local Palate

Local PalateI have really enjoyed receiving this beautiful magazine filled with recipes and gorgeous photographs. After receiving it myself from a friend, I turned right around and purchased subscriptions for our daughter and one for our daughter-in-law. They are both enjoying it, too.

British Columbia Magazine

British Columbia MagazineThis is a great magazine! The articles and pictures are wonderful. They give you maps & exact directions to places they talk about. I would really recommend this magazine everyone but especially to people who live in BC because I'm sure they'd discover new places & things they had no idea were in their province! I really hope to go to BC someday & explore all the sights there.

Humor Times

Humor TimesThe Humor Times is a great publication! I must disclose my bias here upfront: the publisher is a personal friend of mine, and I played keyboards in his band in the late 90's (dude!). He's a wonderful spirit, a fine musician and band leader, and his name is James Israel.

His paper and online resources contain thought provoking and insightful cartoons that skewer modern life and the figures who seem to exemplify the best and worst of our species.

If you don't like political cartoons of a left-of-center bent then this publication is definitely not for you! Don't subscribe unless you want to enter a purgatory of conflicting desires wherein you might have to laugh at yourself once in a while.

BUY THIS PAPER! It supports the people who think like you do and have the luck to be able to express themselves artistically in their attempts to make this a better planet to live on.

I just enjoyed reading the latest issue of the Humor Times. Every month the HT pulls together the best political cartoons of the month. This issue's cartoons even made me laugh about the tragedy unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico. The HT is a breath of fresh air, a blast of comic relief. It's the Daily Show in print. Like its motto says...don't cry about the news, laugh about it with the Humor Times!

Humor Times is the best way to get the news. You can keep up to date on current issues without needing an antidepressant. I only wish they had a daily newspaper.

The "Humor Times is a well produced "progressive" cartoon newspaper that is both funny and smart. Full of political satire and cutting edge news. Not only cartoons from a bevy of artists but also news and opinion pieces from various commentators.

I love political cartoons and this is a brilliant collection of current event cartoons. It's also supplemented with commentary and great stuff, like "Bizarro" and "Cornered". I look forward to each issue and find myself clipping out my favorite cartons constantly.

Photoplus - England

Photoplus - EnglandI recently discovered PhotoPlus Magazine at my local bookstore. I am an amateur photographer who like most, want to get better. PhotoPlus caters exclusively to Canon EOS users. The majority of tutorials are demonstrated with mid-range models such as the Rebel and 40D. While the newstand price is quite pricey at around $12 per issue(ships from England), a subscription to this magazine is a far better investment than taking photography classes. Each issue contains usually 2 training DVD's featuring everything from Photoshop tools to Landscape photography. If you're a Canon user, you won't be disappointed with this magazine.

This is my second time around with this magazine. It is excellent for those who have canon cameras. Well worth the expenditure which is a little pricey due to the heavy postage from the UK, but worth every cent. I purchased a subscription not only for myself, but for my son as well.

Purchased for my husband who uses Canon products. He tells me the magazine has been very helpful and is well worth it.

I look forward to receiving this magazine every month. It has everything you can image about photography...tutorials, reviews on software, best practices, workflows, post processing...and if you shoot with a Canon camera then you are in heaven because they cater to the Canon population. Can't say enough good things about it...yes, it is expensive because it ships from England, but worth every penny.

I loved this magazine, one totally dedicated to the Canon DSLR. Lots of good information and an instructional DVD enclosed.

Massachusetts Wildlife

Massachusetts WildlifeI gave this magazine to my friend Michelle's 10 year old son as a birthday gift. Though they have a house, they have so much land in back and they see a lot of Massachusett's nature firsthand.

Plus, it's hard to give a 10 year old boy a gift that's not too expensive, not clothes (oh Auntie Cookie, how wonderful, another sweater)and not violent. Nice to not pay shipping either.

It took awhile for the first issue to arrive, so I stopped asking how he liked it and went on with life. Today, I received a renewal notice and called Michelle to see if he ever got the magazine. She went on about how much he LOVES it and the first time the renewal notice came to Ben (not sure I LIKE THAT duplication)he made sure Mom renewed.

I'm glad I asked. As much as he enjoys the mag, he doesn't need two of them!

This was a gift for my daughter who lives in Mass. She likes it and I plan to renew it for her.

Ol' Henry turns 91 next week and he loved to hunt and fish in his younger days. A massive stoke landed him in a wheelchair: So this subscription means alot to him.

Baseball America

Baseball AmericaI didn't refer to Baseball America as such. It was Cardinals GM Walt Jocketty who said it. And who am I to contradict? The best columnists in the game, from Peter Gammons, Tracy Ringolsby and Jayson Stark, to detailed information in ALL of baseball, from the Major Leagues to Japan, stats, scores, and the best and most extensive resource on prospect information, there's not a single serious fan in all of baseball who deserves such a title if is not a Baseball America subscriber. You got to read it if you want to know the stars of tomorrow (being tomorrow 6 years or 2 months). Top 10 prospects from every team till its massive Top 100 list, Baseball America covers it all. I know, I have been subscribed for 2 years now, and I can't think of living without it!

I received "free" access to the BA web page (all links) with my subscription...however, about every 3rd time I logged on, my username was declared invalid. I had to contact them several times before the problem was fixed. (It was fixed three times, and then it would fail again). The customer service people were friendly and helpful, but it was a little painful to have to keep asking for help.

Outside of that this is a great publication for people that are into fantasy baseball leagues that allow you to draft minor leaguers or "long term keeper" leagues....or if you are just a fan of baseball and really like to learn a lot about the up and coming player.

I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the internet problem.....

Buy Baseball America Now

In my opinion, this is the best baseball magazine there is out there. Every other week readers are privy to the same information that general managers and scouts receive on their desks. As the title reads, it's about "Baseball America" not just the major leagues but about the entire sport. A real dream for any true fan. Every year the top prospects from the minors to high school are covered. There is great team by team analysis and opinion. And of course, plenty of major league news. One little section that I forgot to mention is the obituaries. Yes; obituaries! Just to give even more of an indication as to how deeply this sport is covered, obituaries of past major and minor leaguers are provided for the true baseball historian. A great magazine that no true fan should be without. And if there isn't enough reason for you to get it, subscribers can now access the online edition!

I have read Baseball America off and on over the years and finally took the plunge and got a subscription. This is the best place to get coverage of the minors, college, and high school baseball so you know about the top prospects before others do.

Highlights High Five

Highlights High FiveI'm very impressed. At first I was bummed because Grandma sent this and didn't listen to me. I wanted Ladybug for my 3 year old. I think this one has more content. We looked at a ladybug once and we keep coming back to the High Five because there is so much stuff to do in it. There's 34 pages in the March 2007 issue.

Here's the table of contents:

Let's Read Aloud together! 7 poems/stories of a variety of topics and art styles

Let's Puzzle it Out! 5 puzzlesa few are very easy so she feels successful but there are couple more challenging ones (but not too)

Let's Make Something! 3 crafts/recipes

Let's Move! 2 different activities

Very happy and looking forward to next month's magazine!

I came across this wonderful magazine in the periodicals section of my local grocery store and was immediately taken by it...it says on the cover that it is "advertising-free" and that prompted me to take a look inside.

The magazine has an interesting & creative layout. The illustrations are bold, bright & beautiful, and the activities are age appropriate [target age group is 2-6 yrs]. My two and a half year old loves this magazine...I read the stories to her, and we do the activities like crafts & coloring together. An added bonus is that the pages are sturdier than your average magazine and will keep relatively well. The issues are all so beautiful that I will keep them for a few years, to be read and reread until my daughter outgrows them. And it truly is ad-free...a value buy!

Buy Highlights High Five Now

I recently bought this magazine subscription for my 5ry old and I'm so glad I did! Just as with Highlights (for slightly older kids) this holds true to the simple values and gentle lessons of kindness, friendship...and learning, but on a little kid's level. My son just received his first two issues and they have yet to be removed from the living room...he looks at them daily...sometimes hourly!!! There are activities, stories (beginning phonics) and hidden pictures that keep him busy (and his brain working) for at least an hour at a time! This subscription gives any child the 'highlight' of going to the mailbox for HIS mail and he loves it. This subscription would make a great gift too! Well worth the moneyI'll get it it again next year!

This is a wonderful magazine. My son (age 4) loves the activities, which are age appropriate. He loves to lay down for a rest and look through the magazine. I love the variety of activities/reading in High Five and that the stories promote interest in reading. It is fun and educational. My only regret is that it is NOT weekly!

Want Highlights High Five Discount?

I got High Five for my three-year-old daughter at a huge discount. I will renew even if that opportunity doesn't present itself when it's time. There are poems, songs, action games, find-the-picture, and each magazine has a game to play outside the magazine as well. At Easter time, for example, it had a poem about colored eggs, and the game to cut out was a color matching game with the different colors of eggs. My daughter really loves this magazine. I love the fact that it encourages dialogue about relationships inside and outside the family. It gives my daughter a chance to develop fine motor skills and even gross motor skills each issue also has a song that has "movements" to it: making a fun way for my daughter to use her hands and get some exercise. There is always a recipe that we can try together, and most of them have been a big hit. We learned how to make puppets, play dough, and other fun crafts that have been the highlight of our reading time. I am impressed by the preschool version of Highlights. If it hadn't been for the reputation of Highlights as a great kids magazine, I would not have looked twice at High Five. But, rest assured, it's a great way to be involved with your pre-schooler and will teach your child important skills for school and life in general.

Tar River Poetry

Tar River PoetryTRP is one of the few journals that contains only poetry or reviews of poetry books. They are in their 25th year. TRP is a great poetry journal--it's one of my favorites. Makuck consistently publishes quality poems by quality poets, both the established and the newcomer. I highly recommend that any lover of poetry subscribe to this journal.
