Oregon Coast Magazine

Oregon Coast MagazineIf you live in or near Oregon, live at the coast, visit the coast, are planning a trip or just like to dream and scheme, Oregon Coast is a great magazine to subscribe to. It is informative and colorful. While not as glizty as the more generic coastal magazines like Coastal Living, it is targeted and useful.

I can't afford to go to the Oregon Coast every year so this magazine is a dream. The pictures and articles are wonderful and I feel like I'm there. I've been reading this for over 10 years and it never fails to charm me with its recipes, advice, advertisments and reccommendations.

Love Oregon Coast magazine as I can only get up to the Oregon coast a few times a year and this magazine brings the coast to me. Great photos and articles.

Louisiana Gardener

Louisiana GardenerI bought this as a gift for my mother in law. Having paged through a years worth of these magazines I can say that it is full of pretty pictures that compliment the text. There are many helpful hints in this magazine.

My mother in law really likes this magazine and has mentioned repeatedly how helpful it is each year as she grows her flowers.

Classic Motorsports

Classic MotorsportsTired of Car Magazines that are little more than thinly veiled advertisments for parts manufacturers? So-called "Tech" articles that are long on flash, but short on detail? Then Classic Motorsports is the car magazine for you! I love their DETAILED tech articles. I love the sheer variety of the cars they cover, and each article is an education.

Classic Motorsports (and it's sister publication, Grassroots Motorsports) are independently owned. They are not part of some huge media conglomerate. It's owned and written by real gearheads, and it shows on every page.

We get several magazines at my house, I typically thumb through them, read an article or two, and they get thrown out. Last Christmas my wife bought me a two year subscription to Classic Motorsports. As a British car nut, I knew that Grassroots Motorsports had purchased British Car Magazine to form Classic Motorsports but had not read the new magazine.

Classic Motorsports has every bit of the coverage on British cars that Brit Car did, the bonus is the coverage of cars I haven't read about. I find myself looking forward to reading about old Alfas, Datsuns and Volvos on top of my beloved British cars. There is coverage on the US cars, but the balance is dead on.

So if you like classic sports cars, and are looking for information outside of the typical pony car mags, check out Classic Motorsports. Every issue I find that I read every article, and reread many. Classic Motorsports was my best Christmas present of 2005.

Ok, I love cars but when I read some car magazines I'm left feeling like I could never afford to drive those cars. I wonder how many people find a review of a $125K car worth while..... If you have that kind of disposable funds do you really care what some editor says about the car?

This magazine and its sister publication is for guys like me who want to know how they can be part of the sport without using the kids college fund!

Ok, now the negative.....it only comes out 8 times a year!

Classic Motorsports Magazine and its sister publication Grassroots Motorsports are in my mind two of the best automotive publications out there. The articles are very informative, and written in a way that any enthusiast will enjoy them. No matter what their level of ability is. Reading these two magazines is like sitting in the garage listening to a friend tell you of their latest automotive adventures. This in itself would be enough to make them a must buy for me.

I used to have to buy British magazines to get information on the classic cars that I was interested in. I still buy them, but Classic Motorsports has been added to my 'must buy' list each month. Why? It's the only American classic car magazine that focuses on my interestsclassic European sports cars in America. The mix is always interesting, the articles informative, the editorial columns are entertaining and the photography is terrific. Couldn't ask for a better magazine to serve the needs of the classic sports car community in the US. Now that they are expanding to do more coverage of Japanese cars as well it just keeps getting better.

Give Us This Day

Give Us This DayI am a Catholic priest, and I have been using this daily devotional for the last several months. I was offered a free monthly issue, and ended up ordering a two-year subscription for myself and for a friend as well. I like the Magnificat Magazine, which has a similar format, but I very much like GIVE US THIS DAY and use it on a daily basis. I like the morning prayer and evening prayer options that it contains for this day. It also has a reflection on a person of faith for each day. Sometime it is the official saint of the day, but sometime it a different choice, such a Caesar Chavez or the Syrophoenician woman who challenged Jesus to heal her daughter. There is a reflection on Scripture for each day, and this can come from a doctor of the Church or from a layperson, sister, or priest. I have been recommending this devotional to friends and parishioners, and could not be more enthusiastic in my recommendation.

I share the same thoughts as Father Dall has written in his review. This is a wonderful resource for daily prayer. I am putting it on my wish list because I had been using samples from my church, but they have run out and now I feel lost!

I am a re-vert to the Catholic Church. When I returned, I was given a copy of Magnificat by the wonderful people who ran the RCIA program at our parish. While I did enjoy Magnificat, I opted to subscribe to Give Us This Day when it launched a couple of years back. (I love Fr. James Martin and had heard that he was one of the editorial advisors. Plus, it was a few bucks cheaper than Magnificat.)

I am so happy I did! It is a wonderful tool for daily prayer, with morning and evening prayer, plus the readings for daily Mass. It also has incredibly beautiful and thought-provoking reflections. I also love "Blessed Among Us"... it's so inspiring to hear how others have lived out their calling to serve the Lord.

I actually let my subscription run out awhile back and really felt the difference in my spiritual life. I know some folks are great with daily prayer on their own, but I'm someone who really needs a "guide" of sorts. As a busy mom of 4 sweet young kiddos, it is so wonderful to just open to the day and read, even if it's only for a few minutes; I always feel so much better after I do so.

Lastly, I'd like to address the idea that Give Us This Day has some sort of political agenda, with the underlying message seeming to be that Give Us This Day is at odds with Church teaching. I could not disagree more. I am faithful to the Magisterium (even when it is difficult for me to do so... hence 4 babies in 6 years), and I did not see any sort of "red flags" with the reflections or "Blessed Among Us". (In fact, I rather enjoyed reading about people who were outside the sphere of canonized saints!) More importantly, I have found nothing in the magazine that runs counter to Church teaching whatsoever.

There is room for personality among faithful Catholics. Some of us love Fr. Martin, others prefer Scott Hahn. (I actually like both!) I think as long as we hold Christ and the Church He founded as our center, we can disagree on the other, more secondary stuff without resorting to name-calling, right? We are all Catholics; we should stand as one, I think, and not get bogged down by in-fighting.

A family member gave me this as a gift subscription. I have read this magazine for over a year, now. I am a professional Catholic intellectual and am thoroughly familiar with the saints, Church calendar, etc. It is obvious that the editors have a political agenda. At least weekly there is a "Blessed Among Us" biography of a "saintly" person (sometimes they are political figures who had no connection to the Catholic Christian faith at all). The subtle, faith-poisoning, underlying schema of this magazine is "the Church was all backwards and wrong in the 'bad old days' (you should study some history if you actually believe that) and now we suddenly enlightened people are going to bring it all kinds of wisdom from everywhere except Christ and the apostles" so the Church can 'catch up' to our own shallow outlook.

I am going to be canceling my subscription as soon as possible. It might offend my family member if they find out, but I can't in conscience continue to support this magazine, even indirectly.

I find the format of this periodical very helpful in helping me focus on daily prayer and meditation. I especially like the brief essays that help to tie together the themes of the daily Mass.

Sports Collectors Digest (1-year auto-renewal)

Sports Collectors DigestHere it is. The best magazine for keeping up on what's hot and what's not, in sports memorabilia. While most dealers and collectors look to Beckett for values, the same look to Sports Collectors Digest (SCD for short), for deals on cards and other memorabilia, and to find out what the current trends are. No matter the sport, if there's memorabilia for it, SCD has probably covered it and one time or another. It's very informative in the history and production of baseball and other sportscards. It's also informative and entertaining. The one thing I really love about SCD is their Customer Service Award program. If you go to SCD, and you see a dealer with the Krause Publications Award emblem, you can count on that dealer for service. This is a publication that anyone can enjoy and benefit from.

In the old days SCD was a reliable source for prices of all kinds of memorabilia. Now it is just a trade magazine full of ads (@90%). Tuff Stuff not available online at least for now which would eventually be a much better source for getting price guides. Becketts are too expensive and only deal with one sport at a time.

I bet all of you out there can find in your basement or addict old sports memorabilla from when you were a kid, or from some day when you went out with your friends or family.

How much is it worth ? Is it worth money, or is it a personal memory that is yours to cherish no matter what someone else is willing to pay for it ?

This magazine will help you find out, and the people writing it seem like a nice group of people, check this one out, its pretty good !

What a disappointment; don't waste your money, as it's 90% ads. A shadow of the 1980's/90's publication. Two thumbs down :(

The content of this magazine is impressive. I was disappointed with the pamphlet-size of the mag. I was used to the 12"x15" editions of the 90s. As my eyesight has gotten worse, the print size has decreased. Or, as the print size has gotten smaller, my eyesight has deteriorated.
