I read a wide variety of newspapers, magazines, and on line content, and am often reminded of an…read moreexchange between Dr. Bashir and Garak in Star Trek: DS9: Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?" "My dear Doctor, they're all true." "Even the lies?" "Especially the lies." In its broadsheet edition day, the Berkeley Daily Planet was both a great read and infuriating. I did not agree at all with their Israel, Marine Recruiting Office, and other "progressive" stances, and often found myself flinging down the paper in disgust. Yet, I couldn't wait to pick up the paper again and read some more, especially Becky O'Malley's "holy" opinions and the best letters section outside of the Anderson Valley Advertiser. Broad and sometimes contentious political debate within the Fourth Estate can be free speech at its best. "To hold a pen is to be at war" - Voltaire Unfortunately, thanks to narrow special interest boycott (of which one of the leaders has his say below), the economy, and some payroll service fraud thrown in, the Berkeley Daily Plant closed up their print edition and went on line. So image my delight when I recently picked up a Copy Mat "newsletter" edition of the Daily Planet. "Great Caesar's Ghost!" - Perry White I devoured the issue and was left wanting for more. So whether I agree with the content or not, I hope that the Daily Planet is on the way back, and mindful of the Joseph Pulitzer quote that "Newspapers should have no friends"

Never got my print after three weeks of calls…read more I needed a sandwich sign for my business and called ahead to confirm, submitted my files online, and didn't hear back. I called after a week, and the woman scolded me that, "We didn't do it because you asked for it too soon." So I told her that was fine, I just need it sometime, so she said it would take a week. Two weeks later, nothing. I call them back. They bat my call back and forth, make excuses, tell me they can do it. They give me a quote and ask if I can get a discount because I missed several events in the meantime and had to chase them down for three weeks, and then they ghost me again. I hope you have better luck than I did and are flexible with whether you get your orders.

Hunza Graphics is the best printer I know…read more We have been using Hunza Graphics to print our business cards, letterhead, envelopes, thank you cards, feedback forms and newsletters since 2003. Every time I use another printer I regret it. The professionals at Hunza graphics are fabulous. I mean ... they do what they say they will do at the the price they quote. Their quality is unsurpassed. They will do their best ... ask for John McCutchen ... he is a champ! He has come through for me on so many projects. He offers his best prices and he is a master at great customer service. They hand deliver every order to my door. Remember ... it is a print shop. Ask for a tour to see how a real print shop works. Ask to see samples of their work. You will be impressed.

The motto of every graphic design industry I've been in is: "Can I get that yesterday?"…read more Hunza provided quality support and customer care from the first call. While another local shop couldn't even get me a quote (even after I met the person in person!), Habib of Hunza had the quote for me, broken down by the next day. I looked into one other printer locally, but Hunza beat them in price by a significant amount, plus, they were literally blocks away. Our product was an odd size, but they had no problem accommodating us. I even got a tour of the print area to see that they are indeed a professional, well organized shop. A week went by after I had said we'd have our product (due to internal revisions on the product) and Prizal was flexible and understood the issue. Finally, with product in hand, I rode over on bike and gave them the InDesign file. Rushing at the last minute, I had to put my file on a flash drive, instead of a DVD, but I was helped and out of the office within 10-minutes. We ran into some print issues of the paper spreading and messing with the offset registration (a combination of factors: going against grain, recycled content paper and paper size). They called me immediately, I came over and judged that the color shift did not merit the wasted paper from increasing the size of the paper. We also ran into another communications error on when the product was expected, but Habib managed to get in contact with the bindery to get the product to us. I highly recommend them, I'm certain that if you're company or product isn't as last-minute as ours was, they'll deliver above and beyond their expectations.

To echo other reviewers here, this company is a scam. Or to quote Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars,…read more"It's a trap!" Well, I got creative a review, thanks to this scammy company: Ah, "University Sports Publications," the lighthouse of unsolicited calls. Envision a company with such a dedication to bothering people, it's almost as if they've turned it into their very raison d'être. With the allure of a carnival barker and the relentlessness of a never-ending loop, they reach out under the pretense of representing everyone from esteemed educational institutions to government bodies. A veritable symphony of deception. On a perpetual quest for the "business owner," they spin yarns of opportunities and partnerships with all the inventiveness of a seasoned storyteller. Their commitment to the scam is, in a bizarre way, almost praiseworthy. The collective reviews here form a unified choir of the deceived and disturbed, highlighting University Sports Publications' exceptional skill in uniting individuals--against them. And if lawsuits are tales, then this company's storybook is rich with chapters of legal adventures and questionable business ethics. A quick search online reveals a treasure trove of lawsuits and warnings about their practices. So, should their number ever appear on your caller ID, prepare yourself. You're about to be offered a prime opportunity to test the limits of your patience. University Sports Publications: pioneers in the field of frustration. Before picking up, it might be wise to do a little digging into their colorful history of legal entanglements and business misadventures. Engage at your own peril, or perhaps find peace in the blissful act of hitting "ignore."

I had never encountered a place on the web where I could read about how multi-cultural parents deal with different languages and belief systems when it comes to educating their kids. The magazine also covers dealing with grandparents and in-laws when cultures are different. I think it gives parents the needed confidence, insight and lessons learned so that they can raise amazing global and worldly citizens while enjoying the richness of their cultures to the max. I love this magazine and highly recommend it if to any global and worldly parent!
