If you need stuff retrieved from a device, there is no one better than iPad Rehab. You may have to…read morebe very patient, but they are worth it. Case in point: It took them 4 years to get into my husband's rusted, busted iPhone 5, but they did. They basically kept his phone until technology caught up to the phone's security threshold and they were finally able to get into it. Several times over those years I assumed they'd given up, but they tried every new kind of tech that came their way until they finally got to one that worked. Prior to hiring them, I'd tried a few other places like Apple and uBreakiFix, and none of them would even try to get into his phone, it was so busted. I cannot recommend them enough.

TL;DR: they recovered my busted data, and prices and timeline may increase substantially beyond…read moreinitial estimates as they did in my case. iPadRehab is a very skilled, VERY in-demand repair and data recovery shop near the Great Lakes Region in NY. They eventually recovered cherished data from my busted-in-a-bike-crash iPhone, and I'm grateful for that. I'm writing this review to offer the perspective of a customer who opted for the "regular" recovery service, without paying the $100 non-refundable "rush" recovery fee. If you're considering iPadRehab, be aware that data recovery in 2024 is a complicated process drawn-out process, that your repair may be stalled for weeks (for example if iPadRehab needs to order replacement chips on their end for your phone), and that prices and timeline may increase substantially beyond initial estimates as they did in my case. My initial quote from iPadRehab for $800 plus tax said: -"We will get started on your device within 4-6 weeks, or for our rush customers--within 1-2 days." -"This estimate is assuming that there is no prior microsoldering attempt made to recover this board," which was true. There was no other mention of assumptions that could change the estimate. -And to their credit, this honest bit: "Between intake and invoicing we do not update unless there is an issue." I opted to forgo the rush service, since I honestly didn't expect my phone to be recoverable, and would have been out the $100 non-refundable "rush" fee in that case. 4-6 weeks seemed fine to me. I didn't even send in my device for a few weeks as I was considering whether I wanted to pay nearly $900 for this, but when iPadRehab reached out a few weeks later and offered to send me packaging to ship it, I said alright and shipped in my device. 4 weeks came without a word from iPadRehab, then 6 weeks, then 8 weeks. After 10 weeks, I had still heard nothing, so I followed up and they responded quickly with essentially "This process takes time, sorry we can't give you a timeline estimate." But later that very week, I finally received a message that my phone was a more complicated repair and the cost would increase to $1000 if they were able to restore it. I'm not sure whether this was a case of "squeaky wheel getting the grease" or not, but I think I had misunderstood and taken "we will start on your device within 4-6 weeks" to mean that I would hear from them by at least 6-8 weeks later. I was also surprised by the increase in price, since the original estimate for $800 (which felt like a lot of money but apparently there are ppl on the internet charging much more for worse data recovery?!) didn't say that prices could go up more depending on what they found in their work. To iPadRehab's credit, they left this choice up to me and I think they would have returned my phone as non-recoverable had I not agreed to the higher fee. Once I agreed to the new higher fee, my phone went to to the back of a new "queue" and I finally heard back 4 weeks later that they were able to restore the data. That time, they contacted me without my reaching out first. The whole process on iPadRehab's end lasted about ~14 weeks. iPadRehab was the best business I could find for this repair after I started looking, and even though I didn't realize how very very busy they were (read: that this process would take months, not weeks) when I started, I'm grateful that they recovered my data. If I did it again, would I do the rush service? Now knowing that iPadRehab was able to restore my busted data, I personally would trust them more and probably use the rush service. I imagine one reason it took so long for me was that a lot of folks willing to pay $800+ for data recovery don't bat an eye at an extra $100 for rush service. I would tell my friends to use them. But mostly, I would tell my friends to back up their data!

We are up here for the summer from Texas, and I swear I'd move up here for Wegmans and this amazing…read moreart shop. My husband grew up here, and I've been visiting with him for quite a while. I never really noticed this place before, probably because I wasn't painting at the time. I recently took up, watercolor, and brought all my stuff up here, but needed a few extra supplies. During my first visit, I noticed they had a workshop on that upcoming Saturday, and I eagerly signed up for it. It was an all-day workshop with Paul Taylor, and he was an INCREDIBLE instructor. Even though I had taken classes for three months before we left Texas, I learned so much from him in that one day. The class focused on doing one painting from beginning to end, and you would think an seven hour day would be too much for one painting, but it was absolutely perfect. It allowed us to take our time and allowed time for him to explain every move and assist us as we painted. Now about the shop... What a jewel! It is very well stocked, and had almost everything I needed, except for a couple of paint colors. But to top it off, the owner was working the day I visited, and she was so incredibly helpful. She walked around and helped me find everything I needed, and we had a wonderful visit while I was there. I returned again on another day when a young woman was working, and she was equally as helpful and enjoyable. When we come up here next year, I think I'm going to base our visits around the classes they offer. I would love to take the watercolor class that they offer that goes on for several weeks. If you consider yourself even remotely, creative and artistic, skip Hobby Lobby, and Michaels and support this wonderful local establishment.

Potential students beware. It seems to be all about the money!…read more I registered and paid for a stained-glass class at Studio 34 through the Rochester Brainery for $295. The class was supposed to have been taught by a world-renowned glass artist, and the class description read that it included all the glass and all materials except for protective eyewear. On the first day of class, the instructor, who was not the professional glass artist listed in the course description, had us look through bins of glass scraps after we'd decided on a pre-approved design. While I found some pieces I could use, I could not find green or blue glass that matched and/or were large enough for the design. The instructor looked too, couldn't find any, then brought out some sheets of glass for me to choose from. At no point was there a mention of having to pay more for the glass. When I showed up the following week, I was told that I had to pay for the green and blue glass I'd picked out the week before. I objected, and the instructor said I had to call the owner, who said that the bins had copious amounts of glass for the projects. They did not. They were inadequately stocked. I was not the only one having difficulty finding glass. Every student had trouble. The owner said that my options were to pay for the glass or take a refund for the class. I will not be forced into paying for glass that was supposed to be included in the class cost so I took the refund. If there was an additional cost to the glass, that should have been said upfront when the sheets were brought out by the instructor. And it turns out that this class does not even provide the finishing piece so we couldn't actually hang our stained-glass projects. We could only leanthem against a window. The finishing piece is part of another class and this was not mentioned in the course description. Another class and more money to finish one piece. When a course description says we're going to be instructed by a glass master, I expect that it will be unless I'm notified in advance that it's not the case and offered a chance to opt-out at that time. When a course description says the class includes the materials, I expect to be able to find glass that I can use to create an integrated piece, rather than random scraps that result in a mismatched mess. The only other option offered was to open my wallet and pay more.

The studio is located on the second floor of a multifunctional historical building in the Neighborhood of the Arts. When you come to the studio don't be afraid to knock on the door... just walk in. They keep the door closed because of the a breeze that can sometimes effect the art work going on inside. All of the staff members I met were super friendly and professional. I came to the studio with no experience in any of the art they offered and absolute no knowledge. Marilynne and her instructors are excellent teachers and truly care to make your experience special. The class size I sat in on was a glass fusion class. If you don't know what that is(which I didn't before I stopped in) it's where you cut colored pieces of class and place them on a big piece of glass. Once you get your desired arrangement it then gets put in a furnace and melts into an awesome piece of art, just the way you arranged it. The class was a small class size, 4 people total. The instructor gave the students great instruction, then let them get creative. She offered pointers and answered questions along the way. I look forward to signing up for some of the hot glass classes. Also, it's important to note that Studio 34 repairs jewelry. So if you have a favorite piece that needs mending whether its glass, beads, or metal...stop in here!

So RIT on if you're interested. Is that alRIT with you?

I looked into coming here a long time ago and even back then the tuition was insane. I come here to eat, drink, and be merry with aforementioned girl sometimes, and all of the stuff on campus is overpriced and annoying, much more expensive than at UB North in Buffalo, which also - it has to be said - has better options, too. It's a beautiful and very safe, leafy, suburban campus, though. Cars aren't allowed on the majority of it which makes it safe and peaceful and quiet. It's got some great sculptures and a lot of pretty smart people. Not a lot of attractive people (unless you're into geeks), but I do know at least one ridiculously attractive girl that goes here, and that's the only reason I've really ever spent any time on campus.

More than a…read morecouple, actually. :-) I chose Naz because of its small student to teacher ratio, gorgeous lay-out of the campus, and two-hour drive from home. Given the size of the school and the classes, it's pretty easy to get to know the professors. They genuinely seemed interested in seeing their students grow and take advantage of career opportunities. After I graduated, I actually had a professor get in touch with me to tell me she had a pamphlet for me about a graduate fellowship that I might be interested in--a fellowship that would later give me a free ride to grad school. ;-) Despite it being a small school, there was always a lot to do. Their language programs, in particular, were a great source of entertainment outside of classes. I remember many fine dinners spent at the French House--far away from the dreaded cafeteria. ;-) Student government is surprisingly active for a smaller school. The extracurricular offerings were many and quite diverse. The campus has since expanded. I got a peek at it a couple summers ago at an alumni function. It looked great and, to be honest, I wished the expansion had been complete when I was still a student there. :-)
