TV Guide Magazine Crosswords

When I purchased this it said a one year subscription, but it didn't mention that it is only 6 issues. They only send one ever 2 months. Very disappointing.

Cosmopolitan (1-year auto-renewal)

After casually flipping through Cosmo while waiting in line at the grocery store when I was in college, I finally decided to subscribe, and boy did I regret it. I was hoping to enjoy Cosmo as my monthly guilty pleasure, but what I got was an incredibly banal reading experience. The fashion, hair, and skin tips are not bad, but similar advice can easily be found in several better magazines.

Cosmo however, became a cultural staple because of the promise of its cover teasers. Yet, for anyone over the age of 16, the articles that these teaser headlines offer are uninformative and generally useless. By the third month of my subscription I realized that if you read one issue of Cosmo, you really don't need to read another one. They are all the same! Cosmo masquerades as an empowering lifestyle magazine for fashionable women in their 20s, but as a woman in that demographic, I found this magazine to be a colossal bore of recycled (not to mention really prosaic) sex-tips and retrograde advice that will set women back a good forty years. Needless to say, I did not renew my subscription. Currently, I subscribe to Glamour, Marie Claire, and m Elle and I am more satisfied with the overall content of these magazines.

This was my "first" grown-up girl magazine and I still share a fondness for it and usually buy it at least three or four times a year. My guess is in order to keep the cover price down, the mag is trying to cut corners on other importent areas like--paper quality. The magazine is printed on a lower quality paper than most--decreasing its' durability and readability. Also, let's face it--some of the writing is just not up to the same level of many competing magazines. The articles seem repetitive, simple-minded and without a lot of useful information. Let's hope the "old gal" gets a quality "face-lift" and soon.

My girlfriend loves Cosmopolitan, so as a present I bought her a subscription to the magazine. The magazine itself is good and entertaining, but I'm very disappointed by the fact that both times I ordered it (once from Amazon, once direct from their website) it arrived via mail up to a couple of weeks after it had already hit grocery store shelves. I would expect that if you order a subscription you'd be able to get the magazine before, or at least at the same time that it hits store shelves. Like I said, my girlfriend loves reading Cosmo, but I just can't recommend a magazine which might arrive so late regularly for you, as it does for me.

If you've read one "Cosmo", you've read them all. Do yourself a favor and check out "Glamour" and "Self" you'll walk away happy, inspired, and hunting down the mailman for the next month's issue.

Want Cosmopolitan (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

This is a ridiculous "bargain." They compensate for the discount by making the subscriber wait weeks after each monthly issue hits the stands. As I recall, being a subscriber entitled one to either receive mags slightly earlier than when they hit the stands or at the every least the same time they hit the stands. I do not plan on renewing.

Foxtalk

This is a terrific information source for anyone serious about Visual Foxpro development. I reckon I know VFP pretty well, but I still learn something new from every issue of this excellent journal.

Don't be put off by its diminutive size. Although most issues run to only 20 24 pages, they are packed full of useful information. They are almost completely free of advertising, marketing fluff and editorial waffle. Each month you get four to six solid articles, focusing on essential programming issues. Subscribers can also obtain free source code downloads.

Recent features which I have found particularly valuable include:

A fascinating series by Predrag Bosnic on unusual user interface devices (combo trees, multi-line tooltips and the like).

Some excellent articles by Doug Hennig, dealing with data classes and the CursorAdapter class.

Useful insights into integrating VFP with Microsoft Outlook.

And my favorite: the Kit Box column, full of easily-digestible tips and techniques.

Even if only one article per issue was useful to you, a FoxTalk subscription would pay for itself many times over.

Veranda (1-year auto-renewal)

For a look at luxurious items, sumptuous homes, beautiful gardens, and food that could pass for art, this magazine has it all. Published 6 times a year, it has exquisite photography, and brilliantly colored, thick glossy pages. The layout is coordinated so well with the ads (which are thankfully unscented), that I sometimes confuse them with the articles, and the topics range from art, antiques, and travel, but the bulk of the publicatation is devoted to elegant homes and gardens.

Among the many articles in The July-August 2003 issue for instance, there is "Masterworks: The Late Seascapes of Turner", with some little known works by this great English artist; "Coral, Beyond the Reef", fabulous jewelry from the coastal region of Naples, Italy, and floral designs from Bella Flora in Dallas, where celebrities buy their gorgeous bouquets. There are no prices listed for any items in this magazine, because I imagine that if one has to ask, one can't afford it.

Five homes are featured, all different, all in their own way marvelous, from an old Atlanta mansion filled with curious antiques, to a bright and modern, sparsely furnished London home with pistachio walls and lots of light.

As Editor-in Chief Lisa Newson says in "The View from Veranda", "Color is magic", and this magazine serves up a lot of it...a feast for the eyes, and a glimpse of lavish living.

Veranda magazine contains stunning photography of homes and gardens. If you enjoy browsing through pictures for decorating ideas, this is a great magazine to dream on. However, great photography is about the only thing this magazine has to offer. Veranda is probably 75% advertisements (gorgeous advertisements, but ads nonetheless), and the few articles it contains are usually shallow and provide dull reading. For those of use who aren't millionaires, most of the products the magazine advertises are impractical luxuries.

A woman that is passionate about beautiful things writes this review. I am an avid do-it-yourselfer and love to do things around the house. This magazine has been one of my favorites for years. I look forward to each new issue and the decorating ideas that it will provide.

This magazine concentrates on upscale decorating, architecture and landscapes. Many of the articles feature European country looks. The photographs in this magazine are absolutely beautiful.

The July / August 2006 edition contained the following:

1. Venetian Villa (Adrienne Vittadini in Sarasota Florida)

2. Nantucket Renewal (Enlarging a Classic Cottage)

3. Blooming Intensity (Saturated with Color)

4. Coastal Hues (Seaside Radiance Captured)

5. British Accent (This side of the Pond)

6. The Art of Dining

7. The View from Veranda (Summer Place)

8. Tableaux (Staged Elegance)

9. Personal Luxury (Cool Coral)

10. On Exhibit (Jungles in Paris)

11. Trade Secrets (Summertime: Fabrics, Rugs, Lighting)

12. Passions (Birds of Paradise: Home Aviary Design)

13. Showcase (Summer Seating: For Pool and Porch)

14. Verdant Paths (Annevoie: Belgium's Water Garden)

15. The Last Word (Vanity Flair: Adrienne Vittadini Sketchbook)

There are many photographs of this magazine of both house interiors and exteriors that I find to be very inspirational from a decorating perspective. If you are looking for either painting or decorating ideas this magazine has much to offer. I have replicated some of the interiors in my own home.

The exterior photographs of this magazine are always very appealing. I have been slowing changing the landscaping on my property to reflect a more Italian way of life. I think you will be inspired to create an alfresco dining space after you have seen some of the beautiful landscape photographs.

The merchants that advertise in this magazine are fabulous. I have purchased many items from them and have always been happy with my purchases.

I highly recommend this magazine to anyone that loves interior design, or just likes nice things. This magazine is top notch all the way.

Veranda is one of my favorite interior design magazines. Yes, there is quite a bit of advertising. Tho, most of the advertisements are beautifully done and are more like art than adverts.

Anyone could get decorating ideas from Veranda. Many times I have used Veranda to get ideas for garden design, floral design, home furnishing, art, textures and for choosing my home's color palette. If you shop in local antique shops, flea markets or even Ebay you can find similar antiques and art to recreate the designer looks in Veranda for much less money.

Each month in Veranda there's usually a pictorial feature on jewelry. I love the way the jewels are so beautifully arranged, then skillfully photographed.

As other reviewers have mentioned Veranda's paper stock is thick and glossy. Veranda will survive repeated reading.

What a gorgeous magazine. Long on content and not overdone with advertising. I've just gotten one issue, but every feature was superbly gorgeous!

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.

MotorHome (1-year auto-renewal)

I have been an avid reader of Motorhome magazine since 1990 or before, I can't quite recall. I find each issue informative with practical up-to-date information covering motorhomes in all class types and all price ranges. I have benefited from the information in every issue. Most of all, I find Motorhome enjoyable reading. So, I am disillusioned that more reviewers are not addressing the content of this magazine rather than driving away potential beneficiaries by giving low star points due to first-issue delays. Many Amazon surfers may get the wrong impression by scanning just the ratings and not learn what a great quality publication this really is.

THIS IS A GREAT INFORMATION SOURCE. HAS SO MANY NEW IDEAS TO USE ON YOUR CAMPING TRIP. JUST LOVE THE NEW MOTOR HOME REVIEWS

Memphis

This magazine is a 'steal' for the price ($15) The editors keep its readers informed on anything that matters! It is a 'slick' copy, fit for any coffee table!

We have subscribed since it's inception, along with magazines for other cities we frequent (we live in a suburb of Memphis). It gives you a lot of great information and its restaurant listings in the back are most helpful, especially when a new one appears. We love the "Ask Vance" column about old Memphis (pre 1965) as we have both lived here most of our lives and we are now retired. We frequently give gift subscriptions to newcomers.

If you plan on coming for Memphis in May (our annual month-long festival) it gives you great coverage so you know when to come for things like the BBQ contest or Sunset Symphony. (If you plan on coming this year, better make hotel reservations NOW).
