The Program on Social Entrepreneurship is a joint program of Stanford's Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL) and the Haas Center for Public Service. The program's administrative functions are housed at the Haas Center and CDDRL helps to inform fellowship selection, and the program's design and delivery.
Program History:
In 2011, the Program on Social Entrepreneurship (PSE) was launched at CDDRL to provide social entrepreneurs - creative and innovative leaders, human rights defenders, and changemakers in their fields - the opportunity to spend an academic quarter in residency at Stanford University. The program also responded to the growing student interest on campus to engage with practitioners inside the classroom and with the field of social entrepreneurship more broadly.
The social entrepreneur fellows (SEERS Fellows) lead institutions that advance social, economic, and political change. SEERS Fellows hail from both the developed and developing world and are nominated through the program's Advisory Committee - a group of of 11 members from the Stanford and social entrepreneurship community - and a trusted network of organizations.
Building a tangible bridge between academia and practice, the program exposes students to new models of social change through a service-learning course and provides practitioners the opportunity to strengthen their individual and personal capacities as social-change leaders.
In September 2014, CDDRL partnered with the Haas Center for Public Service to move its core administrative functions to a more student-facing institution on campus that values engagement with the practitioner community. The program also fits in very nicely with the Haas Center's public service pathways in social entrepreneurship and community-engaged learning.
The program is led by Faculty Director Deborah L. Rhode, the Ernest W. McFarland Professor of Law and director of the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession at the Stanford Law School. Rhode's prominent voice as a researcher and academic successfully led the effort to create Stanford's Center on Ethics. Rhode is also an affiliated faculty member at CDDRL and has been involved in the program from its inception serving as a faculty primary investigator.
Kavita Ramdas, the former president and CEO of the Global Fund for Women, is the founding executive director of the Program on Social Entrepreneurship, which she helped to launch at Stanford's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law in 2011. Ramdas left in 2012 to assume leadership of the Ford Foundation's India office.
The program is managed by Sarina A. Beges, a co-founder member of the Program, who serves as CDDRL's associate director working to support the center's growing practitioner-based programming, which includes the Draper Hills Summer Fellows program. Beges comes to CDDRL from the Synergos Institute in New York where she identified and supported a network of social entrepreneurs across the Arab world.
The program also benefits from the teaching expertise of Lecturer Kathleen Kelly Janus, who leads the service-learning course for the program (IR 142). Janus is an attorney who has spearheaded numerous social justice initiatives in the Bay Area.
The Fellowship:
SEERS Fellows spend the academic quarter - 10 weeks - in residence at Stanford to reflect on their own work, pursue research projects, broaden their professional networks, and co-teach a course on social entrepreneurship. The course - Social Entrepreneurship and the Advancement of Democracy, Development and Justice (IR 142) - is the foundation of the program and is offered to undergraduates and select graduate students in the form of a service-learning class where students work together with social entrepreneurs on specific projects to advance the fellows' organizational capacity.
Some examples of SEERS Fellows projects include: working to help refugees realize their rights in Latin America; improving literacy for children in underprivileged communities in the U.S.; and training women to use sustainable water technologies in Africa.
SEERS Fellows use the remaining time on campus to advance their own professional objectives, to contemplate their next steps as social change leaders, and to connect to the broader Bay Area philanthropic community. SEERS Fellows leave the fellowship with tangible projects to support their professional work, and students gain the practical experience of working on projects for a non-profit organization. Many of the SEERS Fellows who are based locally in the San Francisco Bay Area continue their affiliation with Stanford after the fellowship period to deepen their engagement with Stanford faculty, student groups, and the growing entrepreneurial ecosystem on campus.
In 2013, the program introduced an undergraduate student fellowship supported by the Haas Center for Public Service. The fellowship allows Stanford students who participated in the service-learning course to apply their classroom learning by working directly with a global or local SEERS Fellow over the summer. SEERS Fellows have also collaborated with other units on campus to provide summer fellowship placements for exceptional Stanford undergraduates.
In 2016, the program introduced four new summer fellowship opportunities to provide students the opportunity to work directly with SEERS fellows over the summer, allowing them to put their service-learning projects into practice in service with the SEERS Fellow' organization.

Our U14's girls last year came a strong second in the Burnley and North Valley League - beating the league winners twice and missing out by a point on the title!
The girls have developed really well and play a fast paced, passing game - with everyone getting on the score sheet - either in the league or in the south lakes competitions.
If you are interested in joining - drop us a line.


On an Ionian subtype world orbiting BD+15.074Ac a Silicon Generation survey team found evidence of organised structure in essential pyroclasts amongst the sulphurous ejecta from several equatorial volcanoes. Using a high temperature probe with a magmatter core shunt for communication and cooling, the Generation discovered a connected series of volcanic pipes and sills girdling the globe, with a continuous fluid gas and lava environment permitting free movement of material.
In the magma chambers, 5-40 km under the surface, native rocks are broken and comminuted, melted and changed in a high energy environment. Organised structures have evolved from complicated interwoven silicaceous minerals such as kalsilite and melilite, together with impurities of, for instance, germanium and selenium in the matrix minerals resulting in a rheolithic self-replicating life-like system.
The Silicon Generation crystallographers studied these entities for hundreds of years, using geophysical sensing methods and dissection of non-living specimens. Eventually they produced a detailed description of the creatures.
Ever since their discovery there has been debate about whether these entities can be truly considered to be alive, but they display most, if not all, of the characteristics of a living entity. Many taxonomists classify these entities as life-like organisms or systems.
A variety of other life-like systems have been discovered in various locations in the universe, existing in various environments, some of which are natural, and other have been created artificially. A life-like system should fulfil certain criteria; autonomous acquisition of nutrients leading to growth, use of energy to grow and/or move and/or maintain a consistent internal state, reproduction and the capacity to retain the information required for reproduction, response to stimuli, and (probably) the capacity to evolve. The complexity of carbon-based organic molecules is known to permit all these qualities, but other systems also permit the same processes to occur, and the Rheolithoids are good examples of such life-like organisms.
The core of a Rheolithoid is a fine-grained nucleus of interwoven minerals, apparently related to a vortex crystal formation, but with a consistent asymmetrical organisation that is recognisably similar from one individual to another.
Individuals are usually 0.1 to 10 metres in diameter, and mostly sessile, sometimes moving slowly towards a source of comminuted minerals or to avoid being absorbed by a larger individual. Wild Rheolithoids are no more self-aware than many sessile animals in an organic biota; they are comparable in intelligence to a sea anemone.
Information for the perpetuation of the organised system is stored in germanium and selenium intercalated in tiny data rich flat plaque minerals, while response to the environment is transmitted by slow oscillating reactions in glassy zeolites regulated by cation inclusions acting as messengers to and from the nucleus. The oscillating reactions cause tiny rotating cells to establish in the semimolten zeolite integument, permitting movement towards or away from stimuli.
The environment is detected by subduction of fine material between the rotating cells, which is then tested by an array of subcutaneous reactant mineral micrograins. Energy is stored in the rotating cells and in endothermic crystallization reactions.
The Generation found another Ionian subtype world orbiting BD+15.4074B and attempted to recreate the magmatic environment for the Rheolithoids, succeeding in 3665. They managed to produce a provolved intelligent form by 5080, which often can be found in high energy environments such as fusion drive cooling systems on Generation ships.

Two Possible Paths for PA's Energy Future in 25 Years
What will Pennsylvania's future with respect to energy look like 25 years from now? What role will shale gas play? And how will that role affect the state? A group of 35 people began to study that question in the summer of 2017 and the end result, a new study, has just been released (full copy below). According to the study's results, there are two distinct paths PA can take, resulting in two very different outcomes.
Team PA, a Harrisburg-based public-private nonprofit that promotes workforce and economic development, has just released the report "Pennsylvania Energy Horizons" (see below). However, it was Shell, builders of the ethane cracker in Monaca, PA, that led the research effort and paid for it. But lest you jump to the wrong conclusion, Shell hired a bunch of eggheads from the London School of Economics to do the research. The end result was, as is admitted by folks not in the industry, an unbiased analysis.
The eggheads agree that PA's energy future turns on shale gas. In one scenario, PA works to keep much of that gas in the state and grows its manufacturing base, leveraging its own abundant resources. In a second scenario, politics prevent the state from fully leveraging the gas and much of it goes out of state, even out of the region, and so PA does not take full advantage of its own resources.
The study is not so much fixated on predicting the future, as it is in identifying the forces that will influence which direction the future goes.
Tangentially related to the release of the study is news that PA Gov. Wolf has established a new Governor's Office of Energy. He put Denise Brinley from the Dept. of Community and Economic Development in charge of the new department. So far Wolf has not mentioned this new development. Not a peep–we're not sure why other than he wants to avoid blow back from radical environmentalists who keep targeting him because he's not as crazy as they are.
At any rate, the following article by the Post-Gazette's Anya Litvak (only reporter there worth reading) explains the recently released study, and mentions Brinley's new gig.
In summer 2017, Pennsylvania convened a group of 35 people to envision the state's energy future. Leading the exercise was a team from Royal Dutch Shell, the company behind the sprawling petrochemical campus rising in Beaver County.
The group's assignment was grand: to imagine "how might Pennsylvania's energy system evolve in 25 years, and what might it mean for Pennsylvanians?"
Will there be nuclear plants? Will cities horde the profits from energy resources? What does the decline of coal have to do with the opioid epidemic?
It was fair to wonder if a group so diverse that the phrase "climate change" was ruled too much of a "trigger" in their early sessions could reach any sort of consensus.
And there was another question that the group knew would require a public justification: Why was Shell shepherding these discussions?
For Katrina Kelly-Pitou, a research associate at the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering, it was among the most "contentious document(s) I've ever been involved in."
The participants — even some inclined to be wary of the involvement of a major energy company like Shell — say the process turned out to be enlightening and unbiased.
The Pennsylvania report is now ready for prime time. According to Team PA, a Harrisburg-based public-private nonprofit that promotes workforce and economic development and that led the effort, the intent is to take it on the road and launch discussions among groups across the state.
Looking at the whole system
Shell's Scenarios team, based in London, has been doing these kinds of exercises since the early 1970s. The goal isn't to forecast the future — at least not a single future — but to identify forces that could swing outcomes.
This particular effort "forced us to look at the entire energy system," said Denise Brinley, executive director of a newly-created Pennsylvania Governor's Office of Energy.
It was a way to organize disparate variables like an aging workforce, shale gas, automation, the state's public pension crisis and severe flooding into a framework that shows how pulling the lever on one condition impacts the others, Ms. Brinley said.
This is the first time that Shell has facilitated this kind of effort for a U.S. state.
Shell was "pleased" to do so, free of charge, said spokesman Ray Fisher, "as a core extension of Shell's efforts to begin productive dialogues on the long-term energy transition at a state level."
The transition, he clarified, would be to low-carbon energy.
Two possible futures
After more than a year of meetings, Shell's experts — many from the London School of Economics — produced a report that imagines two scenarios. Both begin with gridlock in Harrisburg and pivot on what the state decides to do with its natural gas resources.
If shale gas appears to play an outsized role, it's because Pennsylvania has a ton of it and that is pushing the state into a position of global importance as international players — like Shell — clamor to take advantage of it.
In the first scenario, legislators work together and come up with a policy that encourages using shale gas to expand industry and fund innovation, bring in more manufacturing, and launch "the fourth Industrial Revolution."
Employment and GDP grow. Pennsylvania becomes a global powerhouse. With tax revenue from a healthy economy, the state invests in carbon capture and low-carbon energy to drive down emissions.
The second scenario takes Pennsylvania inward and its gas elsewhere. Partisanship in the Legislature leaves towns to fend for themselves. So they develop disconnected, artisan economies and distributed energy resources.
In this version, the shale gas mostly finds its way through pipelines to other markets. Then the pipelines get harder to build. Economic growth is stagnant. People learn to enjoy their "grounded, connected, and self-sufficient" lives.
The report says neither scenario is good or bad, although it's hard to imagine a Pennsylvania state politician advocating for the second trajectory.
A new state Office of Energy
Pennsylvania consumes less than a quarter of the gas it produces, and the number is even lower for natural gas liquids that currently get shipped to chemical plants, mostly on the Gulf Coast.
For those inclined toward the first scenario, the role of Harrisburg in coming up with a cohesive stance on energy cannot be overstated.
Today, disparate departments dole out energy grants or help retrain displaced coal miners, advocate for energy microgrids, write policies to encourage combined heat and power projects, and guide development of new pipelines.
That's where the new Office of Energy comes in.
It is housed in Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development — to create a new stand-alone state agency would require approval of the Legislature -— and is, thus far, an amorphous entity with six employees and no publicly disclosed mission statement.
Its formation was not announced and its sole public whimper was a change in Ms. Brinley's LinkedIn profile. She was a senior energy adviser at DCED until a few weeks ago.
"We are really lifting this up from the ground," she said in an interview.
'A gift from Shell'
Christina Simeone, a senior fellow at the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy in Philadelphia, knew that the optics of Shell helping Pennsylvanians think through their energy future might ruffle feathers.
Shell Chemical Appalachia is building a $6 billion facility on the Ohio River that will turn ethane from shale gas into plastic pellets — a project the state wooed with more than $1 billion in incentives.
"Given the cracker plant and given the gas industry, I think those are appropriate questions to ask," Ms. Simeone said.
Appropriate but unfounded, she added.
A half-dozen members of the group interviewed for this story, including Mark Brownstein, senior vice president of energy at the Environmental Defense Council, said the Shell facilitators did not steer the group toward any particular policies.
There were discussions about economic equity between urban and rural areas, about Pennsylvania's legacy of environmental stewardship and energy innovation, about what role immigration will play in the state's future.
The group included representatives from utilities, coal plants, environmental groups, Habitat for Humanity, pipelines, labor, and state regulatory agencies.
Ms. Kelly-Pitou, the Pitt researcher whose last gig was writing energy scenarios at the World Energy Council in London, has been through this before. She said that when she worked on scenario projects in the European Union, the conversations started with a baseline agreement that climate change is established science and that human activities are a driving force.
In Pennsylvania, the group took a few sessions to get past all that, she said.
"In our second session, we weren't allowed to use the word 'climate change' because it was a 'trigger,'" Ms. Kelly-Pitou said.
It was suggested that 'extreme weather variability' would be a more neutral term. "Then people really started coming on board and saying, 'Yeah, there is something funny happening,'" she said.
'An asset no matter what'
By the end, the discussion turned to what would best offer incentives to transition to a low-carbon economy in Pennsylvania — a carbon tax or a carbon price, she said.
The major gas decision appears to be whether the state generally favors keeping the gas within its borders by encouraging industrial and petrochemical uses, or whether a hands-off approach results in most of the shale bounty being piped to other regions.
"It's an asset no matter how you look at it," said Ryan Unger, executive director of Team PA, the Harrisburg economic development organization.
What happens affects whether emissions decrease when dirtier coal plants are pushed out by cheaper and cleaner natural gas. And whether that same gas inches out zero-carbon nuclear plants, pushing emissions higher.
It's not just a philosophical discussion. Even now, the Legislature is considering bills to support what sponsors say are 16,000 nuclear industry jobs by shifting millions of dollars from electricity ratepayers to save the state's nuclear plants from early retirement.
But determining how to guide the use of the state's shale gas resources also will affect what's left of the farmland in Greene and Washington counties after the fracking equipment has come and gone.
"We don't want what took place following the coal boom to take place during this," Mr. Unger said, in a nod to the legacy of streams that run orange from acid mine drainage to this day.
The economic and jobs impact of keeping those molecules within the state, whether they power a paper mill or a chemical plant, is undeniable, said Gideon Gradman, CEO and managing director at Integrated Energy Advisors.
He said it was "a gift from Shell" that the company was willing to facilitate this kind of effort and establish the "banks of the river" of what's possible in Pennsylvania.
"Frankly, the government in general can learn from processes like this," he said.*

Q: "Scrapy crawl " not working from the project folder running from spiders folder I am newbie in Python. I have tried finding the solution everywhere but couldn't get through.
I have made a Scrapy project and because of the project structure, the spiders are by default stored in /spiders directory.
Problem: We generally run the crawlers from the /project directory which contains /spiders inside it. The problem started after including this piece of code:
def implicit():
    from google.cloud import storage

    # If you don't specify credentials when constructing theclient,the
    # client library will look for credentials in the environment.
    storage_client = storage.Client()

# Make an authenticated API request
    buckets = list(storage_client.list_buckets())

import os
os.environ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"] = "remote url of the json file"

This code above doesn't catch the remote file if I crawl the spider from the /project directory and throws error

"File json_filename.json was not found."

But when i crawl the spider from /project/spider directory it runs smoothly without any error.
I guess I am missing some fundamentals over here, something to do with crawling location or the environment variables.
Thanks people.

Q: notify-send shows a dialog box instead of notification? I am trying to send a simple notification with
notify-send "Linux"

And nothing shows up. However
notify-send "Linux" -t 0

shows a dialog box like this

How can I make notify-send to send a normal notification in the top corner?

A: notify-send time out parameter
The notify-send time out parameter is set with -t switch. In your case it is -t 0 or 0 seconds which is translated as "forever". As such rather than a normal pop-up bubble in the top right it is displayed as a dialog box.
So for this part of your question the system is performing normally.
Only critical notifications are appearing
The urgency level can be passed as "low", "normal" or "critical" using the -u switch. In your environment (for reasons yet to be discovered) only messages with urgency level "critical" are appearing:
notify-send --urgency=critical "Critical test"

If you're watching a video the normal urgency messages will not appear. This is known as "Do Not Disturb" mode introduced in Ubuntu 10.04.
I tested this in both FireFox and Chrome in both full screen and non-full screen under Kernel versions 4.4.0-104 and 4.4.10-42.


SEVEN² (Seven Squared) is another brain teaser. This word puzzler has a unique interface in a minimalist style, and is built to satisfy the players hunger for real challenges.
Unlike other popular word games which offer diverse gameplay styles, SEVEN² only concentrate on just one gameplay – the puzzle mode. On a board of 7² (or 49) tiles, you only need to survive for 7² (or 49) rounds. There is NO time limit. You can take as much time as you want to plan your next step.
Does it sound too easy? Think twice! You need to be careful in spelling every word, turning the difficult letters to be your advantage, and manipulating the timing of the falling letters to balance risk and reward.
Update: the beta test is now finished. Thank you very much for your participation!

Once at AMDA, Ramos said he worked harder than he'd ever worked before. "Always hustling," as he described it. In between spending hours upon hours in rehearsal spaces, Ramos was "cleaning toilets, mopping, vacuuming, anything to make money." He even worked in Victoria's Secret part time on top of his gig as one of the academy's orientation leaders, in the midst of trying out for, and finally landing, a position in the school's dance workshop..

February 2016-Conjuring the Consecrated
Shade Projects is proud to present Conjuring the Consecrated, the solo photography exhibition of Cherie Buck-Hutchison in Bokeh Gallery. Conjuring the Consecrated is an exhibition of the artist's latest work of digitally composited photos manipulated to create meaning relevant to contemporary issues. She is revisiting her personal history "to divine a feminine narrative within patriarchal religious practices while juxtaposing dual imagery with the intent to create a space for female religious leadership where currently there may be none". Buck-Hutchison composites decades uniting relatives from the 50s, 60s and 70s, creating a magical southwest of the future where women enjoy the same religious privileges and responsibilities as men. Buck-Hutchison goes on to say, "In an era when women's rights are being promoted on an international level, it is difficult, yet critical to compare the issues of women in extreme situations to those of women enjoying the relative freedom within a democracy". "Buck-Hutchison's work is striking and truly recreates a nostalgia of a time past while raising important questions creating a tension within the works", says Shade Projects Curator Nicole Royse.
Cherie Buck-Hutchison a talented multimedia artist who is creating amazing work, most recently focusing on digitally manipulated photography, ceramics, painting and poetry. Traditionally trained she received her Bachelors of Fine Art in Intermedia from Arizona State University. Currently Buck-Hutchison is a member and co-president of Eye Lounge Artist Collective in Downtown Phoenix. She has exhibited his artwork in both solo and group exhibitions throughout Arizona at various galleries including Eye Lounge, the Frontal Lobe Space and Gallery, Vision Gallery, ASU Night Gallery, ASU Step Gallery, Shade Gallery at the monOrchid, the Shemer Art Center and Museum and the Phoenix Art Museum.
Please join us for the Opening Reception of Conjuring the Consecrated on First Friday, February 5th from 6-10pm.

February 2016-Chris Maker: People, Place and State 2005-2015
Shade Projects is proud to present the solo exhibition of Chris Maker: People, Place and State 2005-2015, in Shade Gallery at the monOrchid. This exhibition will showcase ten years of work and artistic development in Maker's career bringing together his unique perspective and extensive background in city planning and architecture. When asked about his work Maker says, "My work is an exploration of people, the environment and the political state, with an interest of literal and figurative signs in cultural phenomenon, architecture and city planning." The artist is concerned with the ways these forces shape perceptions, social interactions and daily activities "in addition to working with allegory, philosophical narratives, personal anecdotes, and overarching themes such as man versus the environment to express these relationships," states Maker. "Maker's work presents an inimitable grasp of design, medium and subject while bringing together and exploring interesting ideas and concepts, says Shade Projects Curator, Nicole Royse.
Chris Maker was traditionally trained receiving his Bachelors of Fine Arts from University of Minnesota going on to receive a Master's Degree in City Planning from the University of Cincinnati and receiving his Masters of Architecture from The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Maker is a former member of the artist collective Eye Lounge and he has extensively exhibited his artwork across the nation most recently exhibiting with ASU Gammage Auditorium, Eye Lounge, Frontal Lobe Gallery and Mesa Contemporary Art Museum. His work has been features in publications both online and in print including Arizona Republic, Downtown Devil and Phoenix New Times.

January 2016-Surfaces
Shade Projects is proud to present Surfaces, the solo photography exhibition of Joseph Podlesnik in Bokeh Gallery. Surfaces features a small selection of color photographs from his recently published book, capturing a variety of intriguing surfaces through a refreshing and unique perspective. Podlesnik recently self-published a photobook titled "Surfaces: Photographs by Joseph Podlesnik". Podlesnik's photography focuses on the process and his environment utilizing his camera and techniques to "frame scenarios/ compositions, to communicate ideas more formally through design." Letting go of control during picture-taking is also part of his approach.
"Through his lens Podlesnik brilliantly captures unusual imagery, highlighting vivid colors, stunning patterns and bold lines enticing the viewer to look closer at the surface," says Shade Projects Curator, Nicole Royse. This exhibition showcases a small selection of photographs from this book and recently shot work that features imagery that is pure, unusual, complicated and at times perplexing to the eye. Podlesnik says, "I see photography not only as a window but as a flat surface, interrupting or stunting logical perspectival space; I see photography as painting, as a working attempt to see shape, color and pattern, with an interest in figure/ground spatial relationships, much in the way that painters work."

January 2016- Beyond Place, the Solo Exhibition of Onna Jeanna Voellmer
Shade Projects is proud to present Beyond Place, the solo exhibition of Onna Jeanna Voellmer in Shade Gallery. Beyond Place showcases a selection of Voellmer's mixed media paintings inspired by her time in nature and her extensive travels around the world.

Tucked away at 5a Market Street, this pizza place in Belleville is a great pizza spot. By the way, if you are really hungry, don't order the medium for yourself, it will be too much!
It looks like they recently renovated and had extra room made at the back to handle our slightly larger group.
I was hoping for a beer, but they had – soon to change I was told – only the big breweries products. I have to say that I've turned into a fuss budget because micro breweries are so prevalent that I now come to expect that I'll have more choice!
Nevertheless, red wine and pizza works too!

Hi! Sign in to let us know how Family Dental Center: Cullinan, Sean W DDS was?
Super gentle dentist, very friendly staff, lovely hygienist Lilianna. Highly recommend them!
Great office. Friendly staff. Knowledgeable dentist. Strongly recommend.

Who actually enjoys going to the dentist? Certainly not me! That is until I found my dentist and hygienist for life in Dr. Cullinan and Joanna. They really have a gentle way of putting you at ease and Dr. Cullinan uses this weird technique where you don't feel the novacane shot go in. I no longer lose sleep over my upcoming dental appointments. If you're looking for an honest dental practice where you're not greeted by a brand new face every time you walk in, then you've found it!
by PlaneJoe at Citysearch Jan 18 .
When my tooth started really hurting I went to Dr. Cullinan. he got me in right away, and he quickly diagnosed me with a cracked tooth that had let infection inside. He took care of my pain, then laid out all the options for fixing my tooth. He had me see a specialist and then return for a crown. His cost estimates were accurate, and the end result looks great. I will definitely go back for my check-ups and any problems I have.
by Jerry1975 at Citysearch Jan 18 .
I had a dental emergency yesterday and called about 10 different offices in the area. Family Dental Center got me in (thank God!) and Dr. Cullinan was able to treat my abscessed tooth so that I was able to enjoy the holiday weekend with my family. I plan on using them as my permanent dental office now. Thanks, Family Dental!
Excellent Family Dentist!! Highly Recommended!!
by BMH1972 at Citysearch Jan 18 .
Recently transferred to the area. Found this dental office and have a had a really positive experience with all the dentists here. I've got my daughters seeing Dr. Petrosino for their orthodontics. Dr.Cullinan is a personable guy. The staff is friendly and organized. Highly recommended.

Going to the dentist is no picnic, but this office is great. The doctors and staff were very friendly and accomodating to my busy schedule. I go to them for my checkups as well as for their teeth whitening service. Luckily, I haven't had any serious problems with my teeth, but if I did, I would come here first.
