Whole Dog Journal (1-year auto-renewal)

Whole Dog JournalA few years ago a dear friend recommended Whole Dog Journal (WDJ) to me; I subscribed and my dogs and I have both benefited tremendously.

Articles over the last couple years that I found helpful and you might too:

"VeggieDent Chews Recalled in Australia" August 2009

"Update on Doxycycline and Heartworm Disease" August 2009

"Needing Pain Relief" acupuncture October 2009

"Do My Nails ... Please!" March 2009

"Help for OCD Dogs" October 2008

"Fence Sense; How to effectively contain your dog, and avoid the many pitfalls of inferior fencing" May 2009

"Finding the Right Rawhide" May 2009

"No More Jumping up" December 2009

"Calendula: 2008 Herb of the Year" April 2008

"Counting Calories" September 2009

"Microchip Registration Locator Tools Launched" November 2009

"Choosing Good Foods" Every start of the year they have their dry and wet food recommendation issues; I greatly appreciate this. WDJ does explain all of their reasons for selecting dog food companies and reasons why they disqualify companies. Reasons for disqualification include ingredients such as meat by-products, added sweeteners, artificial preservatives, such as BHA, BHT and ethoxyquin, artificial colors, etc ... WDJ also says that the giant corporations do a lot of research into their animal foods.

If you have a dog, please consider finding it in your budget to subscribe to Whole Dog Journal.

In depth articles about all things that should be of interest for any dog owner. No advertising to pollute the recommendations. Of special value are thier food articles, you may be surprised what is in some dog foods.

I've been a subscriber for many years and have learned MUCH about holistic dog care. There are no advertisements, so product reviews are sincere and honest. Health and training articles are detailed and focused on a positive, holistic view. Great value for anyone who wants to do more than the often toxic "conventional" for their dogs.

Thank you WDJ for your excellent standards in research and reliable communications for serious dog-lovers. This publication stays on the cutting edge of what is good, bad, and ugly in the world of dogs. It professionally delivers unbiased and credible information to its loyal fans, of which I know many. Every issue is interesting, informative, and thought-provoking for all dog-lovers. A must have if you own dogs.

I took this journal for years, and had to stop it a couple of years ago b/c of budget crunch. However, I'd always just loved it. Every issue had something in it that answered a current question. I especially like their information about nutrition, and that they work so hard to promote good training practices. Now I hope never to be without it again well, as long as my dogs and I last!

Drumhead : Information for the Modern Drum Enthusiast

Drumhead : Information for the Modern Drum EnthusiastI've been picking up DRUMHEAD on the newsstands for over a year now, and I can tell you there's no finer mag out there for the serious or aspiring drummer. The usual articles are present on technique, but this one goes beyond all of that. How about regular health and fitness articles? It's here. Equipment reviews? They've got it and not just the major brands, but all the boutique percussion shops get press as well.

Everyone gets big players and does some kind of interview. These folks actually ask the right questions. Nothing about hair, or some off-stage gossip. The interviews are focused, informative and simply some of the best I've ever seen in this type of magazine.

If this is all you got, it would be plenty. But they include a CD(!) with every issue, with lessons, play-alongs and demos. Not some once-a-year trick to boost sales, every disc in each issue is useful.

DRUMHEAD has done such a good job, I'm hoping someone will take the hint in other instrument fields, or that a sister publication for guitar or keyboards will sprout. In any case, if you want to live and breath drums, this won't get you signed yeah right but it is a fine resource for drummers in all styles and at all levels. Check it out, see if you agree.

I subscribe to three American Drum Magazines, and purchase a British publication at a newstand. DRUMHEAD is by far the best of the four, which are all terrific magazines.

I have not found this magazine very interesting. The writing is poor and the content is relatively unenlightening. I've received two copies and both came through the mail ripped to shreds. If you are a jazz drummer, this magazine is not much use. I'm canceling my subscription.

Fly RC (1-year auto-renewal)

Fly RCIt is a good RC publication. It varies reviews on both Nitro & Electric airplanes.

This is one of the best magazines out there for the RC pilot. They have excellent reviews and articles are fresh, interesting and accurate. I'm a charter subscriber and I'm glad I took a chance on them early on. I also subscribe to the other magazines and they aren't nearly as good. Of course, don't take my word for it or any one elses. Go to your local bookstore, pick up a copy and flip through it. You'll discover an opinion for yourself, which is what really matters.

Soccer Three Sixty Magazine

Soccer Three Sixty MagazineOkay, it's missing that one star to make it five stars simply because it's not "up to date" as the other review mentioned. But I don't think it's supposed to inform you of every weeks' games it is a bi-monthly magazine, so that's what you should expect. It still offers in depth articles on individual players, teams, coaches, etc. My husband would rather read about soccer game results online, yet this subscription made the best gift ever for my nephew who is just now becoming a soccer fan he knows more than my husband about the lives and current decisions of some soccer players. That's simply what this mag is all about the explanations and analysis of coach/player decisions, moves, mistakes and wins. All said, it's not bad...

Unable to evaluate at this time--have not received the magazine yet.... was informed there would be a several month delay and they will start sending magazine in February 2013.... very disappointing as this was a gift item we expected to receive on a more timely basis.

not bad but I glanced at this magazine at the store and I really didn't notice anything special it is way overpriced and besides there r alot of great websites that will give ya up to date news and not last months news maybe if it was alot cheaper even if probably still wouldn't get it

V-Twin

V-TwinThis magazine is published by the same people that brought us Maxim. So if you like Maxim, check it out. If you don't: pass. The pictures are slick, models are attractive, but there is little in the way of information on how to do it yourself or what was actually done to the bike. It is basically a picture book. If you are looking for technical articles, how tos or performance installs; check out Road Bike for metrics or Hot Bike or American Iron for Harleys and Victory's.

Are you a cruiser owner that is sick of all the Harlier-Than-Thou magazines out there? Let me tell you, if all you want is to see a magazine chock full of awesome V-Twin custom bikes and you don't care what part of the globe they are from or what badge was on the tank then you better slap yourself down for a subscription to V-Twin magazine.

While pouring through a recent issue of V-Twin I find numerous four page spreads on fantastic custom cruisers that include a Kawasaki Vulcan 800, a Yamaha Road Star and a Yamaha Royal Star plus pictures of reader's rides showing a Yamaha Road Star and a Suzuki Intruder. Of course there are your typical custom Harley entrants including a fantastic Knucklehead and an INSANE custom from Eurocomponants! There are also heaps of ads for vendors that cater to both the Metric and Harley owners which is nice to see. And of course there are naturally write-ups on product reviews, wrenching advice, bike events, biking editorials and general bike news geared to the cruiser owner.

To me this is a great magazine that doesn't try to push the Harley world down my throat and I don't think I found a disparaging comment towards Metric bikes anywhere which was quite refreshing. V-Twin isn't about bad ... `tudes, nor is it full of half naked women and profanity, it's all about custom cruisers and doesn't attempt to be anything its not. Don't get me wrong, I love a picture of a half naked woman laid over a bike as much as the next guy, but at the end of the day we are here for the bikes, admit it. For the record, I`m the owner of a 1999 Yamaha Road Star that I bought almost four years ago (my eighth bike), plus I am the owner of RoadStarMagazine.com, so you can see that metric cruisers and cruisers in general are a passion for me.

Home Theater

Home TheaterThere are so few magazine publishers these days. This used to be a great magazine, but like so many other little magazines, it has been sucked up by a larger publishing house and the overall quality has suffered ever since.

It is interesting to read about the absolute best products that are out there, but it would also be cool and helpful to review all classes, from low to mid to high end. The truth about electronics is that you can get a huge improvement in quality by spending more, but once you reach a certain level of quality you have to shell out even more money for just small increments of quality. So why focus on the upper mid range and high end only?

Home Theater is my hobby and HTM was an excellent place to learn about the subject. They had engineers doing real tests and comparisons that had integrity. A few years ago the mag was sold to a large publisher who fired all the good people and brought in writers that should be working for Home and Garden Magazine.

The reviews we could once count on are now paid for by the advertisers so you can no longer draw any conclusions from them.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my favorite publication.

Buy Home Theater Now

I have been a subscriber for about 5 years now. I love the equipment reviews! One reviewer complained that they only review expensive stuff but I dont agree with that at all. I have seen plenty of reviews for equipment that is priced for the average joe. Keep in mind though that home theater equipment isnt dirt cheep. Since when have tv's been cheap? Since when have good speakers been cheap? The magazine is about what equipment is going to be worth your money and provide a good experience not, "I got these bad boys for $50!" Anyways, another section I like in the mag is that they have articles and pictures of cool home theaters. Real theaters in peoples homes, not demo rooms in stores. As far as people having a bad experience with receiving the mag after they first order, maybe getting it here isnt the best way to order it. I dont know. I ordered my subscription straight from home theater mag (for the same price) or you can send in the typical paper square that comes in the mag. All I know is this, I will subscribe to this mag for years to come.

This is one of the best Magazines ever, Or at least that's how Home Theater Magazine (HTM) would review itself.

HTM is a great magazine; they have an awesome editor, and great editorial columns. They have an excellent section listing all of the new HD video and audio products being released. HTM always does a great job of keeping you up to date with new technologies and FCC regs without making you read several pages of technical information. Additionally, HTM reviews both high-end equipment and low-end stuff most of us will actually buy. I've seen reviews on $30 mp3 players, and reviews on $15,000 amplifiers. The magazine is colorful, well laid out, easy to read, and is completely spotless of any offensive material.

Where does HTM fail? I have yet to see something reviewed below 83%. And it isn't unlikely that everything reviewed in any given issue will be 90% and higher. I suppose HTM doesn't want to loose demo equipment by shelling out bad reviews. But honestly, it's hard to tell when MAG is serious about a product.

At any rate, HTM is a great home theater mag. After all, it has a low subscription cost and in the end it is enjoyable to read. I give it 4 stars I can't be too critical on people just because they are too positive.

Want Home Theater Discount?

Always a good Magazine...wish they would try more brands of TV's in their reviews....and maybe less on the audio side of things. But that is just my 2 cents.

Practical Photography

Practical PhotographyGood magazine if you like to do equipment comparisons and film comparisons. As well there is photo tips that are practical and intresting.

Almost every photograph has a story behind it. What equipment was used how the photographer succeeded and failed, what they would have done better, what were the limits of the situations. I like that all aspects from macro to landscapes are covered here, as well as a lot on candid and non candid photography.

This magazine has improved both my color and BW photos.

As well all ranges of photographers contribute from the beginer to the most advanced expert. There is a lot on digital dark room which I like. As well there is alot on composition including lens and exposure trick for specific kinds of shots.

Great photos too. The photo contest always amaze me. As well as there photo challenges were poeple go out and shoot and then analyze the photos. Amatures and experts shooting some great stuff.

The magazine is a little anglo centeric and at times can be a little bit elementry in some of its guide. BUT they always have good recommendations on new equipment and great ideas. Plus sometimes we for get the basics and we need to be reminded how to do things that we alread learned.

Well worth the money, beautiful color and BW reproductions

This is one of the best amateur photography magazines from the UK. I always buy it when I go there, which is 3 or 4 times per year. Not too many ads. Lots of photos and articles on technique. The magazine is well laid out and clearly written. There are some reviews (not too many) of new equipment, which seem to be more objective than some popular US photo magazines.

At ($$$) per issue the price is a bit stiff. And some of the articles are repetitious from year to year.

Overall, this is one of the better magazines.

Buy Practical Photography Now

I have read lots of photo Magazines over the years this one is one of the best out there. If you want to learn great tips on how to make you shots better then pick up this magazine.

I've been reading Practical Photography for years. I've not found a single state-side magazine that can match half the content that a single issue of PP provides. And its not just the magazine, with a website full of content and extras included in the magazine each month its an incredible resource for both amateur and pro alike. I buy my subscription direct from the UK and normally in 2 year chunks, it shaves $$ off the price being asked here. Highly recommended!

Having given a look at all the American magazines on the market which, over time, rehash the same things over and over in a dumbed down way, I was given a copy of Practical PHotography. It blows the competition out of the water for substance and style.

Boys Quest

Boys QuestGave this to friends kids. They went crazy for it. It has no adverts in it. No Disney or toy adverts. Pure fun for kids.

The magazine has good intentions and worthy goals. The photography is awful. The layout, design and printing is so bad as to be distracting. The writing is good for the target audience which would have to be rather good beginning readers because there's scarce little that is attractive to the non-reader (my boys are 3 and 4 so the level of writing in this magazine would need to be read to them). With that said, the writing is neither personal nor authoritative. You get the sense the authors are simplifying or dumbing down a more authoritative source on their subjects than themselves.

Buy Boys Quest Now

This might be good if your kids have never seen a TV set or you're a homesteader, but this isn't designed for today's kids. The themes and stories are very old-fashioned, and the advertised "computer games" are instructions for creating games using DOS. Yup, you heard that right, DOS! I can't even remember the last time I used DOS, the 80's maybe? There are many other good children's magazines out there, I'd recommend spending your money on something else.

My oldest son (10) reads every one of these cover to cover and my little guy (7) is starting to read it now, and also enjoying it. The magazine is full of facts and tidbits that are just right for the 8-12 age group, especially the inquisitive ones. Both my kids think it's very funny. And each month has a different 'theme' which keeps it fresh and interesting. We have a hard time justifying the cost of ANY magazine, but this is one that's actually worth the cover price even if we wish it were cheaper. Educational, fun and always interesting.

Dance Magazine

Dance MagazineI don't currently subscribe to Dance Magazine. But I was a subscriber for seven years some time ago and I have to take a moment to point out its merits here, especially since no one has done so.

For 76 years, this magazine has been publishing some of the finest commentary on dance of all types in America. There are some newer publications which cater more to the young dancer, the dance teacher who is not affiliated with any major tradition, and which deal with newer and more popular styles of dance. But this was the only dance magazine which was being published when I was a young dancer (I am now 26, and still a dancer).

I would read this magazine cover-to-cover every month. I pulled out countless gorgeous pictures of famous, classically trained dancers to paste on my walls from this magazine. For someone like me who studied dance history, this magazine has been marvelous. It regularly featured articles and interviews with emerging choreographers as well as pieces about those great dancers and choreographers we can all continue to learn from, like Diaghilev, Pavlowa, Ashton, Balanchine, Tharp, Cunningham, Taylor-the list goes on and on.

The magazine features an advice column for dancers written by Linda Hamilton, PhD, as well as a section for younger dancers, thus catering to the competitive dancer, the auditioning dancer, etc. It reviews performances by nationally reknowned companies, as well as some lesser-known companies, on a monthly basis. It also lists schools and companies nationally, and has a section for classified ads in the back. On the whole the advertising in this magazine was less offensive when I took it than that which I have found in some other dance magazines, often featuring gorgeously trained young dancers and advertising summer programs and schools as well as dance-related products.

In short, this magazine is a highly intelligent publication which has a real sense of the history of dance, particularly American dance, that I have not found in any other publication. The very existence of the the archived photos of dancers you may never see anywhere else that they regularly bring back into circulation is alone enough to truly make the reader feel connected with the world of dance. For me, a young dancer growing up in a somewhat rural area, this magazine connected me with dancers everywhere, helped me to articulate what it was I loved about this beautiful art.

I will note, however, that when I subscribed to this magazine Clive Barnes was the Senior Editor, and has now left the magazine. I have not read the magazine since he left, so I cannot attest to its quality since then. Check it out for yourself-the magazine's website:
