A sad commentary on our society in 2013 is that people will sit down and write a letter of…read morecomplaint. Yet few will find the time to write a letter of praise. It is with much delight that I am in the second group of people. I went to Dr. Robin Baradarian of the Brooklyn Gastroenterology & Endoscopy Center located at 2211 Emmons Avenue (near Loehmann's). My friend gave Dr. Baradarian and the facility glowing praise, but her praise was conservative and much understated. This was one of the most positive experiences I have ever had at a physician's office. The facility is very clean and neat and the staff exceptional, compassionate and efficient. I say that including the ladies at the front desk to the nurses, the medical assistants and technicians in the procedure department. I would humbly suggest that some hospitals send their supervisors in charge of both their facility and staff to Dr. Baradarian's facility and that they should set into place procedures that would emulate this office which "runs" like "a well-oiled machine", with a lot of humanity and caring added. I felt like I was the only patient the day I was there and that all revolved around me. The staff made telephone calls to me prior to the procedure and also after the procedure. This facility is outstanding and there is not ONE thing that I could say needed "fixing"! Dr. Baradarian is in a class of his own. I have NEVER met such a kind, caring doctor. He certainly brings new meaning to the word exceptional. He takes his time and is not constantly looking at his watch, to see if he is spending more time than he should with the patient (gee! his time with a patient, namely me, was not predicated on the insurance clock/check!). He discussed at length the neurological disorder that I suffer with and although this disease is quite rare, he knew about it! He explained the type of anesthesia used by the staff anesthesiologist and said it was one of the safest given my neurological disorder and list of allergies. He took time calming any fears that I might have. This man is RARE and truly exceptional. He reminds me of the physicians many authors write about, but we in 2013, rarely get to have the good fortune to meet one on a professional level, only on the pages of a book. Suffice it to say, if I were his Mother or family member, I do not believe I could have received better attention or care. It is with great pleasure that I give this physician, his facility and staff an "11"....for they are superstars! I thank them for allowing me to be treated by them and no, I am not related to the doctor or anyone on staff! It is an art to turn a "yucky" procedure into a most positive experience. G"d bless you all! Arlynn B. Ware

An option was checked by default and it was snuck into the design and because no one was expecting an extra logo to pop up, it got printed. When I noticed this extra logo and called them - they had a terrible attitude, saying most people prefer to have this logo inserted in their work and it's common practice for union printing companies to add extra logos when printing work by default and they've been doing that for 15 years. No remedy was offered and basically said if we want it fixed we would have pay for a new expedited order. If you don't want a printer to be adding their own logo as a default to your work - I would suggest you use someone else. - - - Giving your business negative feedback does not equate to anti-union sentiment please. What a joke. Who taught you how to respond to criticism? Netanyahu? When printers send back digital proof - people are typically checking for color, layout, cutoffs etc. People don't expect your PRINTER to be adding in extra logos to your design.

I remember Condé Nast's Domino as very much the latter, targeting wildly affluent home fetishists who prefer their McMasions and third home abodes sterile and pristine, void of any obvious human presence. One issue from the mid-aughts was particularly hilarious featuring a translucent Caucasian woman holding her designer clad offspring in front of an immaculately white interior. I recall thinking at the time that this kid must be a fashion accessory outsourced to the nanny since no actual parent has an all white design scheme with a trophy toddler on consignment and lives to tell about it. Be that as it may, Domino was and is a visually arresting piece of eclectic design porn in much the same way as Victoria magazine once held the late 20th century tea party set from Shaker Heights and Kiawah Island completely enthralled with their gilded age charms. In any case, physical magazines of any variety are a rare treat and with paper stocks reduced to tissue in most cases, Domino's "4,000 pound" glossy stock is a rare treat. Four stars.

Okay, cool. Someone else has set up this profile for Soho Publishing and the organization has…read moreclaimed it. It's not that I wouldn't have created it myself (and you'll read why in a bit). It's just that I wasn't sure how appropriate it'd be to yelp a publishing company, even if it's not an academic publishing company, you know? Anyway, after ordering "Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Vol. 1: Knit & Purl" by Carla Scott from Soho Publishing - on sale at a 30-plus% discount - and totally bragging about it to someone (I'm one those who can't stop finding quality deals. #DontHate)...with a carefully cropped screenshot of the book's cover in hopes of intensifying envy, I went online to check my order and saw on the track shipment page that, after four days of waiting, my book hadn't even been shipped yet! I was even all, "don't hate" to the person I messaged about the book. And I was just joking, but I almost thought "omg" to myself, nearly as mortifying as all that led up to me being so irreverent. So, I contacted Soho Publishing through Vogue Knitting's site where I purchased the book and explained. That was on a Friday. Client relations associate Jamie responded via email this morning with an apology, a confirmation that my book's on its way, a tracking number, and a refund on the shipping charges. Oh yeah. I was so excited I had to yelp this place. As I told Jamie, I've wanted this book since it was first published six years ago, but had to keep it on my wishlist, so I'm beaming right now that it'll be mine, purchased on sale, and without shipping fees. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some yarn to roll in a ball for my son's smart phone cozie. #GetScared
