Quotes (2)
D.W.: Arthur, you know I'd do anything for you for money.
Waitress: Do ya want a baby seat? D.W.: That would be a thoughtful thing to ask... if there was a baby here! Arthur: I wish you'd cut it out, D.W. Binky: You can't fool me, Arthur. There can't be two of you! Who's this?! Arthur: I'm Arthur. That's my sister.
Notes (6)
The first appearance of Mary Moo-Cow, which is the show's take on Barney the Dinosaur!
The debut of Pal, Arthur's puppy. Noting his golden fur, he is probably a golden retriever or golden lab.
D.W. can be seen drinking milk directly from a carton in "Arthur's Pet Business."
"D.W. the Copycat" establishes a trend of D.W. being rude to service-people.
When D.W. puts on her old sunglasses with lense punched out "D.W. the Copycat," all you can see is her pupils, just like when Arthur wears glasses. When she takes off the glasses, you can see her full eyes again - she even appears to open them, as if they had been somehow closed before.
Trivia (3)
In Arthur's Pet Business, D.W.'s naked butt cheeks can be seen briefly when she is running out of the bathtub yelling for help (her towel flaps up near the back of her.)
Watch Perky's puppies in "Arthur's Pet Business." There's a palette shift in which two of them are a different color of yellow than the other and then when the angle changes for a second, they're all the same color.
When D.W. and Arthur are fighting over the remote control in "D.W. the Copycat," time seems to freeze on their respective shows: The Mary Moo-Cow Show and The Bionic Bunny Show. Proof-positive that if nobody is watching, nothing happens.
Allusions (3)
Arthur: There are no babies in baseball.
Arthur references a line of Tom Hank's Jimmy character in A League of Their Own - "There's no crying in baseball."
Mr. Read: I've got your favorite, D.W.: banana and peanut butter.
Banana and peanut butter sandwiches were the favorite of the King of Rock and Roll: Elvis Presley.
Mr. Read: (regarding Perky) Isn't that the dog the mailman calls "Jaws?"
Perky's mean nickname comes from the movie by the same name about a dangerous shark.

I have been using this eye cream for about 6 months now (it lasts awhile!) and have loved it! It's the only eye cream I've tried that doesn't irritate the skin around my eyes ever. It's really cream and rich and soaks in fast. While I don't have puffy eyes naturally, I have noticed my dark circles are lighter and less prominent than before. It's cruelty-free, vegan, and has done nothing but good things for my confusing, needy skin.4
This product has so many rave reviews, so I probably just have a different skin type or drank more margaritas during this time. I didn't like the smell at all, and that's one of my favorite things about products (silly, I know, but a fun perq). I also used it for the duration of the tube, and didn't see much of a change. Again, it could be one of those things you have to stick with longer, but I didn't.2

About the Book
In vivid and graceful prose, Lucette Lagnado re-creates the majesty and cosmopolitan glamour of Cairo in the years between World War II and Gamal Abdel Nasser's rise to power. Her father, Leon, was a boulevardier who conducted business on the elegant terrace of Shepheard's Hotel, and later, in the cozy, dark bar of the Nile Hilton, dressed in his signature white sharkskin suit. But with the fall of King Farouk and Nasser's nationalization of Egyptian industry, Leon and his family lose everything. As streets are renamed, neighborhoods of their fellow Jews disbanded, and the city purged of all foreign influence, the Lagnados, too, must make their escape. With all of their belongings packed into twenty-six suitcases, their jewels and gold coins hidden in sealed tins of marmalade, Leon and his family depart for any land that will take them. The poverty and hardships they encounter in their flight from Cairo to Paris to New York are strikingly juxta-posed against the beauty and comforts of the lives they left behind.
An inversion of the American dream set against the stunning portraits of three world cities, Lucette Lagnado's memoir offers a grand and sweeping story of faith, tradition, tragedy, and triumph.
Winner of the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature and hailed by the New York Times Book Review as a "brilliant, crushing book" and the New Yorker as a memoir of ruin "told without melodrama by its youngest survivor," The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit recounts the exile of the author's Jewish Egyptian family from Cairo in 1963 and her father's heroic and tragic struggle to survive his "riches to rags" trajectory.

Mackie DLM Speakers: A Report from Seattle
When most of us think of Seattle we think of great coffee, endless rain storms, and of course the birthplace of grunge rock. For someone who has never been to Seattle before, I was expecting a fresh brewed cup of rain with Soundgarden playing in the background. While baggage claim did provide the Superunknown soundtrack I had always wanted, the real purpose of this trip was to witness the announcement of Mackie's newest line of portable PA speakers. The DLM Series of powered loudspeakers are the second big announcement from Mackie this year following on the heels of their new iPad controlled mixing console the DL1608. Both products were on full display at the Barboza club in downtown Seattle where John Boudreau, Vice President of the Mackie Brand Group, unveiled the speakers, gave a rundown of their features, and let the whole room full of dealers, distributors, and the press listen to their sound. With special appearances from Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket and The Presidents of the United States of America, we not only got a chance to hear how these speakers sounded in a practical application, but also a chance to take in that true 90s Seattle sound. The unveiling brought all of us up to speed on what the Mackie DLM Series speakers have to offer.
Here is what Mackie wants you to know about their new speakers:
The two loudspeakers in the series are the DLM8 and the DLM12, the numbers denote their respective size. The subwoofer is the DLM12S and believe me when I tell you that this little sub can put out some serious bass. With 2000 watts of power behind these speakers they are probably one of loudest systems I have heard at this size. Don't be scared by how much power these speakers are putting out because they are ultra efficient, have heat dispersion technology, and a protection system for the internal wiring. The big thing Mackie was touting about the DLM series was their TruSource speaker technology.
They have custom transducers, digital signal processing (DSP), and probably one of the best features was the care they took in the vertical alignment of the sound waves. Traditionally in 2 way systems the drivers are vertically displaced which means that the sound waves don't align properly and you get a sound that lacks congruity. With the TruSource drivers, the high and low frequency signals have been placed within the same speaker making it more transparent and an optimal sound.
While having an onboard mixer built into a loudspeaker is nothing new, Mackie's digital mixer is quite handy featuring all the functionality of a basic mixing console but with the ease of use of a car stereo EQ. The DL2 digital mixer features a 3 band EQ and 16 different FX. While this speaker set is seemingly built for the novice or rather a simple solution to a portable PA, the internal mixer has some cool advanced features like preset EQs, a feedback eliminator, alignment delay, and the ability to store your own presets. The back of the speaker features two combination XLR/TRS inputs (one for line and one for instrument), two stereo RCA inputs, and a jack for thru line. The DLM12S subwoofer also has built in mixing capabilities as well as a built in crossover.
The construction of the DLM series is quite handy as well featuring a compact size which is almost ⅓ smaller than traditional powered loudspeakers. The speakers are versatile in that they can be flown or wall mounted. One of my favorite features was the sleek kickstand they installed on the back, giving the speakers the ability to perform as a monitor in a pinch.
So what does all this mean for you the musician? Mackie has been known for making some great sounding speakers but this is really the first time they have combined that technology with a truly portable system that takes all the hassle out of lugging around heavy PA equipment. Everyone from the solo acoustic performer to the mobile DJ is going to love the power that these speakers put out. The general consensus among those in attendance was that we all wished we had a PA system like this when we were starting our garage band, or when we used to pick up one off gigs to get guitar string money. The great thing about a company like Mackie is that all parties involved in the development of the DLM line are musicians, engineers, producers, and more generally actively working in the music industry in some capacity. To me that makes a big difference when considering what product to buy. Although to some it may be just a speaker, to the guys at Mackie it felt to me as if this was a labor of love. They had a vision of a way to create a powerful portable PA speaker and they certainly delivered on that.
There will be a follow up to this blog which will include photos and video of the event in Seattle. For now I just wanted to give you guys a taste of what's in store from Mackie and their DLM Series powered loudspeakers.
Tell us what you think of the DLM speakers. Are you a DJ looking for a PA system? What kinds of things do you look for in speakers? What more do you want to know about the DLM Series? Any questions you have, post them below.

I did it! I did it! Finished in time.
I finally got this done in time to take with me to Mom's for Mother's Day. I was beginning to think I'd never make it. There's one problem on the back but she's not a quilter and won't know.
The back story to this for those who are new - My Mom has always refused to have a quilt until she saw one similar to this (but not nearly as nice) in a quilt show. I asked her if she'd use a quilt if I made that one and she agreed. So, I took a picture and made this. In the process, I had shoulder surgery and couldn't sew for months. But, I found I could applique if I held it low in my lap and pulled the thread sideways. So, these flowers were a part of my recovery process and then once able to sew, I assembled it and now quilted it. Took awhile as life gets in the way but now it's done. Mom is only 94 and very frisky so I hope she gets a few years of enjoyment out of it.
And, I'm glad it's done as I have baby quilts on the back burner.
What touching and beautiful gift of love. Your both so lucky to have each other. She will be so thrilled. Please take pictures of her enjoying the gift. Congratulations.

National Preparedness:
HHS Is Monitoring the Progress of Its Medical Countermeasure Efforts but Has Not Provided Previously Recommended Spending Estimates
GAO-14-90: Published: Dec 27, 2013. Publicly Released: Dec 27, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has established timelines and milestones for the 72 Public Health Emergency Medical Countermeasures Enterprise (PHEMCE) priorities--33 activities, 25 threat-based approaches, and 14 capabilities--that HHS selected as key to fulfilling PHEMCE strategic goals. However, HHS has not made spending estimates for its medical countermeasure development or procurement priorities (priority countermeasures) publicly available. In the PHEMCE implementation plan, HHS has grouped the 72 PHEMCE priorities into three time frames for completion--near-term (fiscal years 2012 through 2014), midterm (fiscal years 2015 through 2017), and long-term (fiscal year 2018 and beyond). For 21 priority activities, 10 priority threat-based approaches, and 8 priority capabilities, HHS and PHEMCE have identified specific deliverables, each tied to a milestone or set of milestones that delineate the steps necessary to complete deliverables, and established more specific timelines for completion of deliverables and milestones. For example, HHS's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) is to lead the development of medical countermeasure requirements, which outline countermeasure quantity, type, and desired characteristics. Deliverables are the threat-specific requirements, such as for antidotes for mustard gas and other blister agents. Milestones for mustard gas antidote requirements reflect the PHEMCE activities to develop the requirements and the necessary approvals; the milestones are tied to interim timelines and culminate in approval by the ASPR Assistant Secretary by September 2013. HHS has not established specific deliverables, milestones, or timelines for the remaining 12 priority activities, 15 priority threat-based approaches, and 6 priority capabilities other than their overall completion within the specified near- or midterm time frame. HHS monitors progress in completing deliverables and milestones for the priorities monthly, with PHEMCE partners meeting to discuss potential barriers to completing deliverables or meeting milestones and possible options to mitigate these barriers. As of September 2013 (the most recent information available), HHS reported that PHEMCE partners have completed 10 deliverables for the 72 priorities, resulting in completion of 5 priorities. GAO did not examine the status of the priorities that did not have specific deliverables, timelines, and milestones.
HHS has developed spending estimates for priority countermeasures for internal planning purposes but has not made them publicly available. In 2011, GAO recommended that HHS provide more specific anticipated spending information in an updated plan to assist with long-term planning. HHS's 2012 plan contains information on how countermeasures may be funded, such as through advanced development funds, but does not include estimates of how much PHEMCE may spend to develop specific countermeasures. HHS officials said they are hesitant to provide estimates because they do not want to create the expectation that estimates would reflect final contract amounts. However, consistent with our prior recommendation and Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act requirements, HHS plans to include spending estimates in the next iteration of the plan, anticipated in September 2014, but has not determined the nature and format of the estimates that would be included. Providing estimates would allow HHS's industry partners to suitably target research and development to fulfill countermeasure priorities, especially in tighter budget climates.
Why GAO Did This Study
Public health emergencies--the 2001 anthrax attacks, the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, and others--have raised concerns about national vulnerability to threats from chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents and new infectious diseases. There are some medical countermeasures--drugs, vaccines, and medical devices such as diagnostics--available to prevent, diagnose, or mitigate the public health impact of these agents and diseases, and development continues. HHS leads federal efforts to develop and procure countermeasures through the interagency PHEMCE. The Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Reauthorization Act of 2013 mandated GAO to examine HHS's and PHEMCE's planning documents for medical countermeasure development and procurement needs and priorities.
This report examines the extent to which HHS developed timelines, milestones, and spending estimates for PHEMCE priorities. GAO reviewed relevant laws; analyzed HHS's 2012 PHEMCE Strategy and Implementation Plan, HHS's tools for tracking the implementation of PHEMCE activities, and data on countermeasure spending from fiscal years 2010 through 2013; and interviewed HHS officials.
What GAO Recommends
Although GAO is not making any new recommendations, based on prior work GAO is continuing to emphasize its 2011 recommendation that HHS make more specific anticipated spending information available to countermeasure developers. In its comments, HHS discussed its efforts to develop spending estimates.

College managements urged to create sporting infrastructure
In the backdrop of verdant hills, a colourful start was given to the State-level sports carnival being hosted by the Chalapathi Institute of Technology here on Saturday.
Boys and girls from different engineering colleges across the four districts — Guntur, Prakasam, Krishna, and Godavari — lined up for the four-day carnival being held at the CIT, Mothadaka. Students would have their skills tested on the playing arenas spread out on the campus.
Competitions in rural games such as kabaddi, volleyball, throw ball, tennicoit, carom board, and chess are lined up for the carnival.
Chalapathi Educational Institutions president Y.V. Anjaneyulu said that CIT was playing host to the sports carnival to inculcate the sportive spirit, fair play, and honesty, besides improving their fitness levels.
Earlier, the carnival got off to a colourful start with players staging a march past. Pathikonda MLA and Andhra Kabaddi Association president K.E. Prabhakar inaugurated the carnival by releasing a bunch of balloons.
Way to keep fit
Mr. Prabhakar said students should be drawn to colleges and not feel like engaging in drudgery.
He regaled the students by narrating some witty anecdotes and urged the managements to create sporting infrastructure in colleges. Playing sports and games regularly keeps one fit and healthy.
Physical Education director S. Ramu said the CIT had been hosting the State-level cricket tournament since January 2.
Two teams CIT, Mothadaka, and SSN Engineering College, Ongole, reached the finals to be played on January 21.
The valedictory would be held on January 22 with Minister for Rural Development D.M. Vara Prasada Rao and chess champion Koneru Hampi taking part as guests of honour.

for your Powerful collaboration on:
Mother Nature's Revenge
It Was Truly Awesome
Give me my life back
Satan release your grip—now!
God's love—can't touch that!
Now believe it
Continue to live by it
Let it manifest!
Standing still head's up
Retrospect greatest pitfalls
Mass consciousness whim
Wandering till dawn
Waiting brave for the result
Less breathe heartless beat
Until the mind soar
Now is inexplicable
Sufferings indeed
People grim anew
For the best of all Juries
Render canny nod
Continued service
Captivated voter's wit
Last laugh never ends.
Glitters spread all over
Seeking reflections amidst

Long lost better half
Reunite even afar
Sharing out fragments
Standing still staring
Beyond space and time searching
A spark that mislead
Now after decades
Attracting as one fellow
When moments unfold.
A caring one is more
Than sweet fragrance,
Even when sweet fragrance ends,
The caring one remains...
Sing Allelujahs
All stars in the midnight sky.
Giving God all praise!

More destructive than your fear
No shield like your faith.

Betting in numbers to win
Probable goals failed.
Tried bet once more though
Best loved numbers didn't hit
Long waited win ends.
Money for other things
Risking bet to win some more
Awake while asleep.
Dreamt came before dawn
Whilst numbers gone out boxes
Jotted down traces.
Shrewd Gambler wandered
Vivid signs pooped up in mind
Winning is losing.
Soft fire is his eyes
fondling my soul without words
... twilight's balm drips down
Our warm pulses meet
in thrills of hushed surrender...
baptizing fresh dawn
. …….. .
be mindful
human rights are human ways
that lead down
be careful
the words above always remain
wear no crown
trap the sin
destroy the lie of conceit
look within
don't consume all that you see
you will feel
wrong like fire
Push the petal down
It's what makes the wheel go round:

Very little Micro-managing takes place if you are doing your job well.

Listen to your people at the lower levels of employment. Remove barrier that exists between upper management, lower level management, and rank-and-file employees. Also, remove barrier between operations personnel and sales. Both need each other to survive, so it is critical that both communicate consistently and effectively.

Red Sox to interview Brad Ausmus next week
Oct 11, 2012, 11:51 AM EDT
With the Red Sox set to begin interviewing manager candidates reports have started to surface identifying their targets.
Yesterday we learned that Dodgers third base coach Tim Wallach will come in for an interview and now Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports that three-time Gold Glove catcher Brad Ausmus will do the same "early next week."
Last month Ausmus withdrew himself from consideration for the Astros' job, which was interesting because he played 10 seasons in Houston. Of course, as ugly as things have been for Boston lately it's still a much more desirable spot for manager and last week Ausmus said of the Red Sox: "That's one job that would get me off my couch early."
Ausmus, who grew up in Connecticut and went to college at Dartmouth, is currently a special assistant with the Padres and managed Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic qualifiers.

The biggest benefit whoever the new manager is for the Red Sox is after Bobby Valentine I think their fans would be happy with almost anyone. Just my opinion.

Maybe tonight when the A's finish off the tigers and they fire Leyland … Just say'n
- willclarkgameface - Oct 11, 2012 at 1:52 PM
I have an idea.
Larry Lucchino wants the circus at Fenway?
How about hiring Ted Williams' head to be the manager? I mean, you don't really need anyone in the dugout to make decisions on anything anyway. It's Larry's team.
How about it?
- rcali - Oct 11, 2012 at 3:15 PM
Headline should read: "Red Sox GM, Owner, and Dustin Pedroia to interview Brad Ausmus next week"
- thatswhatsgooood - Oct 11, 2012 at 4:02 PM
Ok so after Brad Ausmus gets this job that still leaves Todd Hundley, Jason Kendall, Sandy Alomar Jr., Charles Johnson and any other catcher that made an All-Star team from 1995-2005
- soxski - Oct 11, 2012 at 6:46 PM
Brad Asmus is a great choice. Ivy league, long time professional catcher, cares about the game. Sandy Alomar Jr. Is also intriguing. These guys are better choices than Farrel, Wallach or Bogart. Asmus would understand pitchers and how to run the offense and defense. Make the right choice for your Bench and Pitching coach and we may see a coaching team that actually adds value to the team. I would love o see Cheringon move Tek for special assistant to pitching or Bench Coach. I would take a look at Glavine, Maddox, I Rodriguez, Biggio, Smoltz, Posada, Jim Edmonds, Griffey or Javy Lopez. My top two would be Pisada.or Biggio. Asmus Coach, Tek Pitching Coach, Posada Bench. One hell of a staff that understand the game, can right the pitching staff, a command the clubhouse immediately.

Long road to travel for Boston………….waste of time projecting which potential candidate for manger may be good, which may be not so good, which are wrong, and on and on. Do not expect another season like 2012; do not expect 2013 to be anything much more than a recovery period, no matter who is at the helm.

Make sure the broken belt didn't damage the wiring to the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft position sensor or damage the sensors themselves. The crankshaft sensor is located above the crankshaft pulley in the engine block, The camshaft sensor is between the cylinder heads behind the power steering fluid reservoir.

Talk:How to use QShake to detect and manage phone shaking
The source code appears to use no native APIs - so this should have the MeeGo and Symbian categories added too - correct?I like the concept - a shake is another type of input mechanism. I wonder if its worth differentiating left-right or up-down type shakes?
hamishwillee 05:08, 23 March 2012 (EET)
Galazzo - Features added
Hi Hamish
I added Meego and Symbian categories, simply I had no possibility to test on Nokia N950 Meego device until today.
You had a very good idea, so i implemented also possibility to detect shaking based on direction not only left/right, but also push/pull. Now I think there are all properties to allow users to work with shaking detection.
Thanks, this is the kind of support I need to improve the project.Everybody else has ideas to improve this but also other projects is welcomed.

John Malone's Liberty Global Names Dana Strong COO of Virgin Media
LONDON -- John Malone's Liberty Global continues to reshuffle its management team ahead of the $23.3 billion acquisition of U.K. cable giant Virgin Media. On Tuesday, the company said cable industry veteran Dana Strong will take on the role of COO of Virgin Media as of July.
Liberty Global is expected to close the Virgin Media deal in the coming days, following a Virgin Media shareholder meeting in New York Tuesday morning.
Strong, currently managing director of Irish cable company UPC Ireland -- also part of the Liberty Global family -- will succeed Andrew Barron, who will pursue new opportunities after the deal closes. Strong will also become chairman of UPC Ireland. Before joining UPC Ireland, she served as COO of Austar United Communications in Australia for Liberty Global.
At Virgin Media, she will report to incoming CEO Tom Mockridge, a News Corp. veteran, who will take on his role as of the deal's close.
"Dana has over 20 years of experience in the media industry and has been an integral member of the Liberty Global family for 14 years," said Mike Fries, president and CEO of Liberty Global. "She has a proven track record of delivering profitable growth and customer service excellence to the operations she's led in Australia and Ireland."
"I'm thrilled that Dana has decided to join me and the rest of our world-class management team," said Mockridge. "Her broad operating background and experience leading one of Liberty's fastest-growing countries will serve her well at Virgin Media as we look to accelerate the company's growth agenda."
"This is a very exciting time for our company," said Strong. "I look forward to contributing to the growth and development of Virgin Media's business."
Strong's managing director post at UPC Ireland will be filled by Magnus Ternsjo. Since 2009, he has served as managing director of Liberty Global's Central European satellite TV business, which focuses on Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania.

Help from a 'Fairy Godmother'
Pediatric cancer patients, families receive assistance from new program
Andie McConnell of Stafford, Va., watched as 22-month-old Evy, a friend's daughter, was diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer in 2009.
McConnell was driven to help the family and started fundraising projects.The result was the Fairy Godmother Project, a movement that began as a way to provide comfort and assistance to families struggling with the difficulties that occur when raising a child with cancer.
The project recently added a chapter to Richmond and has helped bring relief to families in the area that are consumed by the disease and its treatment.
Amazed at the outpouring of support and the success of her actions, McConnell linked with professional photographer Stephanie Johnson and worked on moving forward with her efforts. Evy's mother dubbed Andie her daughter's "fairy godmother," igniting the creation of the Fairy Godmother Project.
Lauren Leporati, coordinator for the Richmond Chapter, stumbled upon the Fairy Godmother Project online and felt driven to get involved. After contacting McConnell and expressing her desire to assist families in the Richmond area, Leporati started a chapter in the area, which began in January.
"I know a lot of people have a personal connection to cancer and that's why they start but I just really wanted to help," said Leporati. "When I was reading about these families of children with cancer I thought of my own two children and couldn't imagine what it would be like to go through that and the heartache of it all. I wanted to do something to help other people."
One of the biggest struggles when taking care of a child with cancer is having the time or energy to do everyday tasks and having time to relax.
The project aims to help ease the pressures off families by providing meals, housecleaning services, lawn care and date nights, while providing optimum care for the child. In addition, the program provides monthly Visa gift cards to families that they can use to buy groceries, gas and other necessities.
About 10 volunteers are actively serving three separate families throughout the area.
When a family receives assistance, it is paired with a lead volunteer who helps from the beginning of the child's diagnosis until a month after his or her treatment ends, providing consistency and allowing for the family to become comfortable and build a relationship with the volunteer.
Leporati and the lead volunteers are focused on providing optimum assistance, and they meet with the families in the beginning to discuss their needs and struggles.
Shannon Hubbel, a Chesterfield resident, has received assistance from the FGP for the past four months after McConnell stumbled upon Hubbel's blog about her five-year-old daughter Emily's journey with neuroblastoma, a cancer that occurs in infants and children.
"The Fairy Godmother Project found us," said Hubbel. "I was very grateful for the help and every little bit they could do was great. They offered to do meals for us and some weeks were at the hospital every day so coming home to a hot meal was amazing and I am so appreciative. It makes life not as stressful and my nights not as long."
The FGP is a non-profit organization and receives funding through events, individual contributions, spirit nights at restaurants and fundraisers. Although the project helps with everyday tasks, it also seems to complete the circle of support to navigate families through their child's diagnosis and ease the process.
"Lauren will send me texts telling me she's thinking about us," says Hubbel. "Knowing that they are not just there to help but they care is amazing. I can't give them enough kudos and the people there have huge hearts and I appreciate everything they do for us."
In addition to the at-home services the FGP provides, it also teams with professional photographers who volunteer their time and expertise to photograph the families to capture precious moments.
FGP hopes that these services can provide comfort to families facing the most difficult of times. Many people want to help but aren't sure what to do, and the FGP can direct people to assist those in need throughout the community.
By easing the burden of everyday life for local families who have a child in treatment for a form of pediatric cancer, it can take away some of the stress and provide relief. The FGP is looking for volunteers so it can serve as many potential families as possible.
"If its something simple and easy that somebody could do to take that burden off of a family, why not do it?" said Leporati. "I think it's important and sometimes I feel like if we didn't help each other out who would. A lot of it is just simple basic things that anybody can do but its completely overwhelming for these families."

A taste of Japan
Ichiban offers rich Asian flavors, but portions lack
In a spot that could be easily overlooked is a surprising, and delicious, Japanese restaurant. In a tiny nook in the shops at the corner of Ridgefield Parkway and Pump Road sits a welcoming, warm and comfortable Asian restaurant called Ichiban, which means "the best."
The restaurant, tucked between a couple others in the Gleneagles Shopping Center, was so quiet and dark that it was difficult to tell if it was open at 6:30 p.m. on a Monday. When I opened the door, I smiled when I looked inside. > Read more.
One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

The 900th Anniversary of Pie postulatio voluntatis
On February 15, 2013, the Order will celebrate the 900th anniversary of the issuance of Pie postulatio voluntatis, the papal bull (or bulla sacra) through which Pope Paschal II officially granted to the Hospital of Saint John certain protections, rights, and privileges in perpetuity. Pie postulatio voluntatis is Pope Paschal II's response to a petition submitted by Blessed Gerard, the Order's founder and Master of the Hospital. Gerard's request demonstrates how much he had accomplished in the first decades of the Hospital.
