I would recommend this to anyone with a wheat or gluten intolerance. Many helpful tips and beautiful recipes to try.

Love it when the mail comes and the magazine is in there. Have made several of the recipes and being fairly new to gluten free is a big help.

I know that magazine subscriptions can take a long time to "cycle in", but this is ridiculous. Ordered for Christmas, may arrive by Easter. I understand that magazines have a hard time competing with the internet, but maybe this is one reason why.

Earth - Va

This is a nice magazine for those interested in earth sciences. Like Discovery magazine, it features articles by professional geologists, interviews with earth scientists working in the field, and small news stories relavent to modern events: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, evidence of global warming, etc, quoted from other sources. Most of the articles, like those in Discovery, are written by jounalists who have obviously researched the professional literature and distilled it for a reading public interested in the topic of what's new in science. A very interesting and informative magazine.

This magazine gives the latest news and articles on recent developments concerning the Earth sciences. The writing is aimed at the professional or the very interested amateur, but they are seldom "jargony". This is the place to go if you want to know why the earthquake in Haiti was so devastating or why the volcano in Iceland was explosive enough to disrupt European air traffic. There are usually articles on what's going on in Washington DC that affect the funding for USGS, or other science related organizations, as well as travelogues which focus on the geology of a region.

City Journal

I just read another of the outstanding analyses of the worldpolitical situation, this one in regard to nuclear Iran's danger to the world, by Mark Steyn. 'City Journal' has along with Steyn other outstanding journalists, Theodore Darylmple, Stefan Kanfer.

This is what it says about itself.

"City Journal offers a stimulating mix of hard-headed practicality and cutting-edge theory, with articles on everything from school financing, policing strategy, and welfare policy to urban architecture, family policy, and the latest theorizing emanating from the law schools, the charitable foundations, even the schools of public health. Since urban policy encompasses almost all domestic policy questions, as well as the largest issues of our culture and society, the magazine views its canvas as very broad indeed. The magazine holds itself to the highest intellectual, journalistic, and literary standards, aiming to produce intelligent and absorbing reading for intelligent and discerning readers."

I believe this particular 'advertisement for myself' is accurate.

I read one of the most informative and sadly depressing articles ever in the magazine and I highly recommend it to anyone who seeks the truth which the MSM simply refuses to report on because it doesn't fit their blinkered, left-wing, p.c. worldview. The article was called The Prep School P.C. Plague, by a most erudite and stylistically elegant writer named MacDonald, I believe. I highly recommend it to anyone considering sending a poor hapless child off to a prep school as I was. It's a real eye-opener on the whitey-hating self-loathing that exists among liberals who run these elite schools. Great article and great magazine.

I am a new subscriber to this wonderful magazine. The list of their contributors made me subscribe to them. I am now so happy for doing just that. It's so informative, so provocative and useful. I am surprised by the greatness of this magazine considering it is being published in Leftoid land of NYC. If you like to hear/read fresh stuff about true conservatism and urban issues, this is your magazine. Highly recommended!

I just happen to be looking at magazines and books and stumbled upon this jewel. I just received my second issue of City. This quarterly has articles written by top writers on issues that cities and states are facing today. And not only these but national problems as well. The Summer Issue has an article on California crude and the Dodd-Frank's Protection Racket; City, Empire, Church, Nation. How the West created modernity; Coal and the EPA. This slick cover issue has 128 pages on various topics. This definitely is not written for the general reader. I recommend City for its content, insight and informative articles that aid debates.

I subscribed to City Journal hoping to find another intelligent and courageous publication with a right slant, of some sort, be it libertarian, paleoconservative, or just a journal of common sense. Such publications are dwindling. City Journal does not describe itself as any of those things, but its reputation is that of a right leaning advocate of economic and individual freedom. I just received my first issue-Winter 2013. Disappointing.

Let's start with E.D. Hirsch's "Vocabulary: The Key to Upward Mobility". Some solid ideas, backed by bad reasoning with little human insight applied. Hirsch's ideas for overhauling the curriculum are fine--domain immersion for example. What's bothersome is Hirsch's Apserger's-like method of cherry picking study after study, citing correlations, making huge assumptions and never questioning the question in the first place: What is education and do we all need it? He starts with the very tired statistic that college grads make more money, tells us that SAT scores are a good predictor of graduation rates and income, that vocabulary size and "life chances" are related, and other such bare facts. True, as facts, but even a smart 6th grader could raise legitimate questions here. Once we ask those questions and see the falsehoods mere statistics generate, we can ask real questions. His heart MIGHT be in the right place, but his efforts go nowhere.

John Buntin's "The LAPD Remade" praises the work of new Commissioner Bill Bratton. The piece focuses on police-community relations, especially the Black community, said to be made better by Bratton's personal touch. But Buntin paints an overly bright picture here. He cites stats that show a decline in LA crime. First, there have been many accusations of falsification of crime statistics in LA. The same thing happened here in Philadelphia under Mayor Rendell, who never stopped patting himself on the back on the basis of those lies. Second, again, mere stats won't due. In a state of war, there are periodic states of peace, before the next storm, as when one group pushes the other out. To assess LA's crime, one needs to be down at the street level, to see the root causes. Citing official stats or getting quotes from government official on how good a job they are doing doesn't cut it.

If Buntin and Hirsch are well intentioned but off target, what of Paul Starobin's "Irrepressible Moscow"? Starobin, a former writer for the leftist New Republic and National Geographic, writes a piece that has both the fluffiness and dishonesty of a typical NG article. Beyond dishonesty even, is his mention of the "suppression of civil liberties" in Moscow because of the arrest of Pussy Riot! Starobin claims they were arrested for "chanting a novel prayer". This is such a distortion of the truth it should be upgraded to an OUTRIGHT LIE. There have been many Russian patriots jailed under Putin's leadership. Pussy Riot is not among them. It gets worse still, as Starobin, in his best attempt to downplay the demographic and social crisis caused by immigration, first forgets to tell us that these Caucasian immigrants are criminals and gangsters, protected by the corrupt Putin regime who make daily life for many Russians intolerable. Starobin goes on to cheerily tell us that these immigrants soon assimilate. No sign of that yet.

Another New Republic product, Adam Kirsch profiles Jewish leftist Peruvian writer and politician Mario Vargas Llosa. Kirsch's article has a sympathetic tone and we can see why as the former socialist and advocate of free trade and "liberty", is certainly no former leftist. Ilosa's idea of liberty is abortion, euthanasia, open borders, unrestricted immigration, and an end to all nationalisms. The common ground of rootless economic libertarians and rootless neo Marxists is laid bare. No wonder the Peruvians rejected him. Better a corrupt old style strongman than a leftist ideologue intent on destruction of a people.

But its time for some comedy: "The GOP and the City" by Edward L. Glaeser. Oh why do the big cities reject the GOP, asks Glaeser, when the Republicans have such good ideas? The question alone makes me chuckle. Cited as a good idea is No Child Left Behind! Now I'm rolling on the floor. If only the Republicans would get their message out, the urban dwellers might vote for them. Forget for a second whether the Republicans have good ideas--I think they do talk a good game--and forget whether they really back up their words once in power---they rarely do--but Glaeser is so clueless that he doesn't realize that the voters in big cities have heard the message. They rejected it Edward and continue to do so. Does Glaeser ever get down to street level and meet people? Does he know the cities at all. Again, a problem presents itself and City Journal finds itself without the insight to understand the issue.

And then there is Pierre Manent, whose incoherent attempt to trace the origins of the modern Nation-State may have caused me to cancel my subscription. He may have read Cicero but I can't see he understood his mind, method or intentions. His statement that the Middle Ages "...doesn't lend itself to our comprehension because it had no experience of an adequately coherent human order.", is a laughable product of narrow, ideologically oriented mind. I question if he even read Machiavelli beyond The Prince, and he completely ignores the real political, military and geographic factors that led to the rise of the state in the 17th century. Ideas do matter, but Manent got the wrong ideas. He actually is brighter than I give him credit for here, but in the end he is another neo-conservative. I charge clients $90. an hour for my work. I spent 30 minutes on this article. Since you can't refund time itself, I request that the publisher of City Journal refund me $45. for my time.

It isn't all bad. Like good social scientists, the writers at City Journal can turn out some good articles about economic policy and this issue has a view on the boom in Texas, the growth of Washington DC and the pension problem in California. Also, Heather MacDonald and Theodore Dalrymple are two bright spots. Dalrymple I am familiar with and always enjoy his writings. MacDonald I knew less about but I had come across some of her writings and was happy to read her here.

But the good is outnumbered at City Journal. Still, it is more palatable than the faux conservative American Conservative magazine, and not as left Republican as the once right wing National Review. I'll stick with the Rockford Institute's Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture and Quarterly Review from the UK.

My analysis of City Journal ? A soft left establishment Republican ( ie neoconservative) publication that is fighting a lost cause with a losing stategy. Defensive, timid, shallow, sycophantic, positivist, City Journal is using the same tone, the same strategies and positions that led to the total defeat of the conservative movement. At best it is a losing rear guard action in a war already lost. In some cases, this may be intentional, as the neo cons intentionally destroyed the conservative movement. In others it is just naiveté in the extreme. CJ lacks soul. It lacks depth of thinking so it comes up empty. The perfect hand picked opponent for the left establishment.

Buddhadharma

Named for the mythical (?) and mystical kingdom in the East, Shambhala Publications is known for bringing some of the greatest and sometimes most obscure philosophical writings of Mankind to the attention of the general public. As part of its Dharma mission, the company markets several web portals and periodicals.

BUDDHADHARMA presents us with some of the best Buddhist writing available today. I have watched this magazine mature into an eminently readable publication, a sister magazine to SHAMBHALA SUN, but more focused on the whys and wherefores of Buddhist practice and the issues confronting serious practitioners today.

Does BUDDHADHARMA have shortcomings? Well, in my opinion, a few, some of which it shares with SHAMBHALA SUN:

Like SHAMBHALA SUN, BUDDHADHARMA is a "slick" magazine chock full of ads and promotions for meditation retreats and other expensive products. I know ad space pays the bills, and I like money as much as any capitalist can, but the nakedly exploitative nature of some of the ads is troubling. Chogyam Trungpa, the founder of Shambhala, wrote a seminal work named CUTTING THROUGH SPIRITUAL MATERIALISM, and I have to wonder what he would think of the Dharma practices of Ford Motor or the "Geshe Lama Gogolak Awareness Retreat of Telluride Colorado (only $10,000 per day, minimum twenty days)."

Having made these objections, I will quickly add that these issues are raised by way of promoting awareness among potential subscribers, not as a critique of the magazine itself. People can and do benefit from Dharma education, training, retreats, and practice aids. BUDDHADHARMA only runs ads, it doesn't judge them. Thus, insofar as this reviewer goes, BUDDHADHARMA is a valuable resource in the propagation of the Buddhadharma.

Antiques Roadshow Insider (1-year auto-renewal)

This magazine is great for anyone who doesn't always get the opportunity to see the show on a regular basis. If you watch the show regularly and re-watch it in repeats, the magazine will not tell you anything you didn't already see. It is nice to have it somewhere in writing to make references though.

My wife just received her first copy of the Anitques Roadshow Insider "magazine" which I gave her for Christmas. It took about 2 months from the time I placed to the order to the arrival of the first issue. She was sorely disappointed to find that the so-called magazine was a total of 8 pages, printed both sides. It is printed on a newsprint type of paper, not slick like a normal magazine. I'd say it is worth about 50 cents an issue, not the $3.50 per issue I paid. It's got some good information, but there's not much of it, definately not worth the price!

Autism Spectrum Quarterly

I "like" this magazine, but I think it is way more expensive than it should be. The fact that this serves the autism community should not be an excuse to charge such a high subscription rate. I did not get enough out of it to continue my subscription.

This magazine is so interesting to read. Its very different from any of the other autism magazines in that they do a fantastic job talking about the latest and greatest research and how to integrate it into practice. You will not be disappointed!

Relevant

Relevant Magazine has great articles for people who are in to culture and faith. Many of the reviews are of secular artists, the spiritual content or message (or lack thereof) of the music they sing, films they make and books they write. They also review Christian artists, many who are on the fringe. This is a great magazine for those who are interested in these things. If you just want a 'youth-oriented' Christian magazine with Bible studies and how-to's you'll probably be disapointed.

Admittedly, I am slightly older than the "Relevant" demographic. But I'm not 40 yet! So there are a number of things here that do have some appeal to me. And I applaud the magazine for attempting to address culturally important issues.

Still, the magazine suffers from it's unrelenting fawning over the whole post-modern vibe and it's own sense of self-importance as a beacon for charismatic hipness. ("Hey, look out, world! We Jesus Freaks have iPods too!") Usually, the more something or someone sweats to proclaim their own relevance, the more danger there is that they can become irrelevant.

So, like it's spiritual cousin "Charisma," this magazine suffers from a somewhat shallow perspective on life and culture. It trumpets its ability to ask "the tough questions," even as it follows a relatively safe, politically correct post-mod/charismatic/hipster wannabe party line.

I mean, their idea of being cutting edge was to put Bono on the cover. If you want to be cutting edge, put the libertine Adam Clayton on the cover and ask him about Bono's faith. Now, I would read that article! (I am a major U2 and Bono fan. I'm not knocking him; just the lack of imagination at "Relevant".)

There's also way too much emulation of the world's perspective on generational heritage. "Hey, we're young, and we're smart, and we don't need to do anything the way our geezer parents did it." I guess having a little gray hair or wrinkles doesn't cut it in today's Paris Hilton culture, but I'd like to think that it might be a little different in a culture shaped by biblical values. Actually, "Relevant" seems to be a little afraid to say what "biblical values" are (beyond the obvious politically expedient ones); it all seems amorphous here.

I've never been a fan of the whole "what's hot/what's not" ethos. And, I'd like to give a little more respect to today's Christian young people to think they could handle something that didn't fall into that same faddish trap.

I am hopeful that they may get it right yet with "Relevant". At times, they seem tantilizingly close. But it takes more than a slick hairdo, male earrings, chin stubble, idolization of youth, culture icon quotations, and psycobabble "cool dude" theological lingo to make one relevant.

I wish I could give this magazine 6 stars. Finally, an honest magazine for Christians. I am the target demographic, so I understand the style does not appeal to all, but the content can easily relate to anyone who is willing to get past their pre-concieved religious notions and desire Biblical truth. I sometimes get sick of the 'relevant' move because it frequently becomes used as an excuse for Christians to abuse their freedom as believers, but Relevant does a fantastic job of giving a balanced look at relevant faith. I don't always agree with every article, but I appreciate the open, honest, and sometimes opposing views. It is not a one-sided, or single minded publication. I wish I could afford to get a subscription for all the Christians I know.

I see a lot of interesting reviews, so I'll add mine. When I was a teenager, I was afraid to embrace culture because of how it might look to the rest of the Christian community. Relevant Mag was symbolic of the world's culture (to me at that time). I avoided it like the plague.

Needless to say, I've come to realize that much of what we Christians have in our culture is unnecessary for the Gospel message. Seriously--in the 19th century, for example, the Church wasn't the only one singing "hymn music". Old drinking songs are in the same musical style and can be just as boring! It was simply the culture that chose to sing that way.

On the content...

RELEVANT IS DEFINITELY A LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE. If you don't identify with the lifestyle projected by Relevant, that's totally ok--but you probably won't like the magazine.

Let me be very clear about this. Relevant magazine caters to people ages 18 to 35, for starters.

The magazine assumes you are concerned with social justice, lean on the political left, have attended (or are attending) college, and have money to blow on cultural goodies. (In all honesty, it can be downright depressing to read whenever you're trying to save money. All that stuff about "simple living" isn't echoed in the advertising and reviews of products).

My big criticism of Relevant is this last characteristic. It feels "Relevant" now, but what happens if I lose my job? Relevant forgets that most of us have to think about paying the rent and buying groceries before we can spend $30 on a t-shirt to help save the rainforest.

Is this an interesting magazine for Christians, as well as a good information source about movies and music?

Yes.

I was exceptionally excited to see a sample subscription arrive at my doorstep, I read it feverishly. The topics they cover are interesting and cool, and the photography and design is awesome. The bands they interview are the bands I listen to--and they do a heck of a job at it! I love reading their interviews, they're extremely informative and interesting.

Is this magazine relevant to the lives of the Christian youth, of whom I am one?

No.

As I read through the magazine after my initial hopping around through the various movie reviews and artist interviews, I decided to move onto the more theological stuff, the columnists. I could not have been more disappointed. What I read was wishy-washy Christianity. They take a stand for nothing, most of the articles either being about tolerance or some other "important" issue. Their theology is far from relevant in today's youth. Even an on suicide how we should remember that we're made in God's image in the January/February issue, came across as unconvincing, and was badly edited at best.

If the editors of this magazine want to claim Relevancy, then they need to push a message other than tolerancy and "understanding". And I'm not saying these aren't bad ideas. I'm simply saying that there are more important things to be thinking about in a world falling apart at the seems.
