Today is my birthday. Happy Birthday to me. I had forgotten how old I was and added on an extra year, so it was nice to realise I wasn't 38 this year but 37. It's only a year, but it's still better than I thought! It was my mum's fault – she was sure I was a year older. Nice of her to remember the year her precious first born arrived.
With the two FQs of Ellen's fabric I got, I was already well into making my scrappy Swoon quilt with the swoon along support group on Flickr. It was practically set in the stars that a single swoon block was going to be my project.
I pulled a couple of co-ordinating fabrics from my stash (kona cerise and kaufman quilter's linen in charcoal) and got to work. I added a narrow border of the quilter's linen and made myself a lovely big pillow, perfect for leaning on when I'm sat watching TV and doing some hand sewing on an evening. The binding was leftover from another project and is a buttery lemon voile – a happy coincidence that it matches so well with the bright quilt blocks fabrics (do you want to know a dirty secret? I haven't actually finished sewing the binding on – it's pinned to the back so I could take a photo. I've been too busy using the pillow to take it off it's pillow form and finish sewing that binding down! Isn't that terrible?)
When we were at Quilt Market in October I picked up one of the freebies from Ellen's booth – a roll of 4 layer cake squares – and I've been using those to english paper piece a small quilt (very small quilt) in preparation for my class at The Sewing Summit in October (if you are going to Sewing Summit and are thinking of taking my class, this is the pattern I'll be teaching. At least how to make a start on it!)
I absolutely love quilt blocks – I think it's an incredibly versatile line of fabrics. It works well in large pieces, such as the swoon block, but also with very small pieces like the spring carnival english paper pieced quilt above. The large single wedding ring style print would be fabulous fussy cut, and I'm most excited to use the grandmothers flower garden print.
Quilt Blocks is going to be in stores in April. We'll keep you posted as to where and when it arrives! I have a feeling this collection will be one of those that people really covet once it's gone. My recommendation is – stock up whilst you can. As soon as it hits stores I'm buying it all (I may have accidentally pre-ordered a bolt for quilt backs. Oops) This is probably my favourite collection of the year so far (except Lu's – hers doesn't count though, it's a given I'd choose hers as my absolute favourite for the simple reason that we are sisters from different misters). The large scale prints and the areas of negative space in some of the prints may make you think you'd find it difficult to use but I think this series of posts really has shown that it's incredibly versatile and can be used in all manner of ways. One thing you might not get a sense of from the photos are how fantastic the colours are. It really is a wonderful collection.
More quilt blocks projects to come! Keep tuned to this station – don't turn that dial!

Does the 5 Year Statute of Limitation Govern Action?
For years attorneys debated the time frame an association had to compel unit owners to comply with provisions of the governing documents as well as the rules and regulations of the associations. Most thought the question was put to bed in 2003 when the Florida 5th District Court of Appeals in the case of Sheoah Highlands, Inc. v. Daugherty, 837 So2d 579 (Fla 5th DCA 2003), held that the provisions of Florida Statutes 95.11 [governing statutes of limitation], which govern contracts [Declaration of Condominium and CC&Rs of HOAs], is subject to the five (5) year statute of limitation. The Sheoah holding was later codified in F.S. 718.303 when an amendment was added stating that "Actions arising under this sub section may not be deemed to be actions for specific performance." The importance of these words was to take actions to enforce the covenants out of the ambiance of the one year statute of limitation governing actions for specific performance of a contract.
On August 26, 2011, Florida's 5th District of Appeals gave community associations something to ponder. When the association seeks to compel a unit owner to take action, as opposed to refraining from actions, is the relief sought "specific performance", and as such subject to the one year statute of limitations, as opposed to the five (5) years they all have been relying upon? In the case at hand, the unit owners of the Melbourne Ocean Club Condominium, a condominium that operates as a hotel under a franchise agreement with Radisson Hotels, alleged that the manager had breached its contract, by failing to provide annual audited financial statements as required by the terms of the rental agreements. The manager responded that the action sought was in the nature of an action for specific performance, and therefore governed by the one year statute of limitations. The Appeals Court agreed to limit the relief sought to one year of reports, not the five (5) sought. No doubt community associations seeking to enforce its covenants, in an abundance of precaution, needs to expedite their enforcement actions until the courts resolve this issue.

Four in ten Red Bluff residents say they don't feel safe walking alone in their neighborhood at night.
That's what a recent online, unscientific police department survey says.
Almost 80% of respondents said they think Red Bluff needs more police officers and 38% said the department was unresponsive to their needs.
Police Chief Paul Nanfito says Red Bluff has seen a 27% increase in violent crime in the past year including murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, arson and car theft.
But,he still maintains the city itself is a safe place to live.
The survey was set up to gauge opinion on a proposed public safety tax to help the police and fire departments cover budget shortfalls created by several years of cuts.
A total of 76% of respondents said they would support a ¼% safety tax to help the fire and police departments.
Chief Nanfito says money generated from the tax would go towards developing a five-year strategic plan that is supposed to be released next year.

Van Harten BMW S1000RR Carbon Edition: More power, less weight
The 193bhp BMW S1000RR is, right now, pretty much at the top of most sportsbike riders' wish list. With about 183 horsepower at the rear wheel and a host of sophisticated electronics, the German bike recently trounced all comers to win the 2010 Masterbike (ahead of the Aprilia RSV4, which finished second, and the 2010 MV Agusta F4, which took third…).
Now, The Netherlands-based BMW dealers, Van Harten, are kicking the madness up a few notches further by offering a lighter, more powerful version – the S1000RR Carbon Edition. The bike gets a custom paintjob, an Akrapovic Titanium exhaust system and a very long list of carbonfibre bodyparts. This lighter, slightly more powerful (because of the aftermarket exhaust) S1000RR is priced at 25,000 euros.
For more details, visit the Van Harten website here

Roosters and Cookbooks
35 comments:
This is a great stand, Penny! Only you could make a cookbook on it's stand look so pretty! I spy little Roosters! :)ReplyDelete
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your cookbook stand is great. Is it a Paula Deen one? I like the way the front comes up a bit higher to help hold the book open. Mine is a titch too low.ReplyDelete
I'm checking out your followers and, for me, they are showing 7 at a time all 766 of them. Nope, let's correct that, they must have been loading, now they're showing 4 rows of 6. Interesting.
Hope that you had a great time with your company and that the weather was cooperative.
Love it Penny. I have one somewhere. hmmmmReplyDelete
Love it too! So handy when cooking.ReplyDelete
That's on my list to find also. Yours is perfect!ReplyDelete
Very cute and so handy!~Hugs, PattiReplyDelete
Oh, I love it too!!!ReplyDelete
What a cute stand Penny, love the other roosters too! MartinaReplyDelete
Have fun with your company, Penny. I love your cookbook stand too!ReplyDelete
Cute book holder Penny! I was just thinking I hadn't seen a post in a few days and wondering what fun you might be having:>)ReplyDelete
I love your new cookbook holder also. Why didn't I go out and get one years ago?ReplyDelete
Currently I am using magnets to hold pages to the cupboard hinges...sigh.
Jen @ Muddy Boot Dreams
Penny, this one was made for your beautiful kitchen.ReplyDelete
That is one of the prettiest cookbook stands I have ever seen! Just perfect in your lovely kitchen! :-)ReplyDelete
Love the rooster on top! I'll have to find my cookbook stand...I know it's around here somewhere.ReplyDelete
And, you found the perfect one for your kitchen. It looks so pretty.ReplyDelete
Useful AND attractive. My favorite combination. I think I might need one.ReplyDelete
It's very pretty, Penny! I finally bought a cookbook stand while on vacation in Napa Valley last year. One of the winery gift shops had a sale I knew it was a bargain when I saw it marked down to $10!ReplyDelete
Very cute - and useful!ReplyDelete
I don't know why we wait so long to buy something we need! So practical.ReplyDelete
This gives me an idea for using a wrought iron easel I have for a cookbook stand. Isn't that funny how just seeing someone elses post turns on a light bulb in your head?
Have fun with your company!
It's both functional and pretty! I think I need one too now!ReplyDelete
You are so right Penny. We should all get one of those to make our lives easier. Yours is adorable with the little roo!ReplyDelete
I love how this one holds the book. I have a couple but the books lie at more of an angle. Would like to find one like yours. It's great! Is it adjustable, so as to have the book lean backward more and upright also?ReplyDelete
That's a really cute one! I just realized I rarely use cookbooks since most of my recipes come from somewhere on the net!ReplyDelete
What a cute cookbook holder Penny. The ones that don't hold your book just right are so frustrating. Looks like you've found a real winner plus it fits your decor to a tee.ReplyDelete
Hi Penny,ReplyDelete
That is a lovely cookbook stand. That rooster is perfect for your kitchen. I have been browsing your posts to catch up. Summer has taken me away and I have not been keeping up with blogging. I feel so guilty, when I can't visit my favorites. You are one of my dear favorites always.
Have a beautiful day.
Mine is a functional clear plastic one which does keep the pages clean - the book slides inside - but your's is so much more elegant, love it Penny!ReplyDelete
Hugs - Mary
Very pretty....I like those too...but no counter space. I hope you are enjoying it after waiting so long!!ReplyDelete
I love these Penny~you will too. Mine has two chains with ball weights to hold the pages down. They are a good (and pretty) invention.ReplyDelete
Penny, Enjoy your company. We have friends coming in too. When the dust settles we will get together. Miss you.ReplyDelete
Hugs, Penny
PS. Thanks for your support on the contest I entered. Should have known that you would have my back. You are the best! Love ya.ReplyDelete
Love it! Can you please share where you purchased it? I'd love to have one and it would go perfect in my "rooster" themed kitchen!ReplyDelete
Super cute! Is it a Paula Deen one?ReplyDelete
It is just so you Penny! Perfect. MimiReplyDelete
Hi Penny,ReplyDelete
I love your rooster cook book stand..I have one too and use it all the time....
"Henri" sends his love and says he is enjoying watching Gary snore in his big easy chair every night LOL...Henri can see him from the dining room table...
Have a sweet day and big hugs, Elizabeth
Love it! What a great way to view your recipes! :)ReplyDelete

As referenced in our previous post, the authority when it comes to minor-league facilities has weighed in.
Here's the key graf in that story (bolding mine):
Now, we're not talking the world's greatest market: its population in 2009 was 26,322, its median income is lower than the rest of Virginia, and it's the county seat of a relatively small county (Frederick County's population is only 78,305, but it is growing). Indeed, to reach a 100,000 population within a decent driving distance of any Winchester ballpark, you need to include the entire county and all of Martinsburg, W.V., some 25 miles up I-81, as well as rural residents in the Martinsburg area.
I've been reading Kevin Reichard for the better part of a decade, which is not to say I'm slavish devotee. We've actually butted heads via e-mail, particularly when he correctly predicted the demise of my former hometown team, the North Shore Spirit. But I will say that he knows his [stuff] and have come to respect him.
I don't think you can overestimate the value of a suitor that has a ballpark in place vs. that one does not. Kinston is the contender that folks in Hagerstown should be fearing. And look more carefully at that last line, it echoes what my friend Shawn wrote nearly a month ago (also worth another look).
He's spot-on in the assessment that most people will blame the ownership vs. elected officials if the Suns were to leave. Indeed, when the North Shore Spirit folded its tent, there were folks praising Mayor Chip Clancy for "standing up" to the team's mercurial owner, Nick Lopardo. My bias is obvious: I don't care who "wins" in that battle; I just want the team to stay in place.
I'm guessing most of you feel the same way.
9 Responses to "Ballpark Digest Weighs In On Hagerstown Rumors"
Kevin Reichard is doing his homework from afar and drawing conclusions without really knowing the territory.
Here is what I can share about the population base around Winchester:
The Winchester Baseball little league serves up to 4 local counties representing up to 156,117 population and then when you throw in the two WV counties that bumps up the population to 194,016.
Population figures that the local little league program draws from:
City of Winchester – 26,203.
Frederick County – 78,305.
Clarke County – 14,034.
Warren County – 37,575.
Hardy County, WV – 14,205.
Hampshire County, WV – 23,964.
And if Shenandoah County (approx 25-30 min drive) would be in the mix, then that's another 41,993 which puts a potential fan base of approx 236,000.
Also, Valley Health Systems is a reg'l hospital system that is headquartered in Winchester and serves 18 counties of a population base of approx 1.1 million.
In my opinion, I think there is more than adequate fan base to support a minor league baseball team based out of Winchester.
Quite often, with Reichard, you have to use more than a grain of salt. To say he is a legend in his own mind is an understatement. While he does have some scoops, he has also shown sloppy journalism at times. I well remember his proclamation Syracuse would re-up with Toronto in the Fall of 2008, ignoring the strong bitterness many in the Chiefs' organization held toward the Blue Jays. That proclamation came only a week before the Chiefs and Nats made their affiliation official, and the folks in Syracuse are very happy (thankful, indeed) to be afiliated with the Nats. His writings have from time to time contained some very obvious errors (e.g., referring to Hagerstown as a member of the Midwest League and Colorado Springs as a member of the International League).
In my humble opinion and as a Suns season ticket holder I believe this all to be nothing more than a smart business person trying get as much leverage as they can to affect change at the Muni. Unfortunatly, at this time with all the fiscal watchdogs it stirs up more drama then it needs to.
The suns will stay in hagerstown. Shopping your team to another city is the oldest trick in the book, if you want to get things done.
Off topic, but Baseball America's transaction list shows the Nats signing Austin Bibens-Dirkx – anyone have any further info. about him?

Today has been one heck of a busy day. If you read this blog, you know that today, Microsoft officially announced Windows Phone 7 Series (gotta love Redmondian branding), its brand new mobile platform geared to getting it back "in the game" and more aggressively compete with the likes of Apple, Google and Palm.
The new user interface relies heavily on the Zune user experience, but adds a broad array of real-time connectivity through "Hubs" and "Tiles." Boy did this get my curiosity going.

It's snowing today in Boston. This year has actually been rather easy in terms of snowfall in New England this year...certainly unlike what other cities like Washington D.C. have been dealing with in the last 10 days (I understand they now have over 3ft or 1m of snow on the ground!). Taking a quick break from today's busy schedule I came across this rather interesting article at GigaOM talking about why wireless carriers should care about customer care.
It's interesting to see this topic come up again, especially in the context of how T-Mobile has for so long heralded its customer care, while until recently Sprint has suffered much criticism for its "less than optimal" quality of care. The article did however make me think of one thing.

One of the most compelling parts of working in the tech industry as an independent pundit is that you get to speak to a wide variety of vendors and have frank, candid conversations. The tone and depth of these conversations is such that, in all likelihood, they would not have them with others – particularly their competitors.
While I have the good fortune of being able to do so, on a nearly daily basis, I will admit to you that I sometimes feel as if I have an "unfair" advantage, especially when talking about enterprise mobility in the healthcare industry.

Second business day of the year and a second blog entry. See? I am trying to keep my promise of more frequent posts. I'm sure you saw today that Google announced its very own device: the Google Nexus One. The first (of many) Android device(s) that will be developed and directly branded by Google itself. This was no huge secret. Engadget had a first look at it recently, and Google had made no attempts to keep this hush hush.
Obviously, there has been a lot of press about this announcement, but little (if any) perspective on the implications for enterprise mobility. Until now...

It's snowing again today in Boston. It seems as if it's been snowing all year. Actually, technically, that is a true statement. The weather, temperature and season, have made it a wonderful time to stay home with family and friends and reflect not just on the year that has passed, but also all the wonderful things in store for us at the dawn of this new year.
As has become my own tradition, on the first business day of 2010, I would like to share with you my five predictions for enterprise mobility for the new year.

The mercury in the thermometer has dropped considerably in the last few weeks. There's now also a considerable amount of snow on the ground, and people have in their homes a wide range of colorful lights on at night. I guess that means I have to accept that we are in the holiday season and that the end of the year is upon us.
While the holiday season is certainly a wonderful time to spend with family and friends, it's also a great time to reflect on the past year, as well as think about the year to come. With a hot cup of cocoa in front of me, here are my five wishes for enterprise mobility for 2010.

In case you missed it, the world of telecom expense management had a bit of a shake up yesterday. Virginia based Rivermine announced it had acquired New York's MBG. Telecom expense management is, quite frankly, one of the most unsexy business areas I can think of. That said, it is of vital importance to organizations large and small, especially when you look at it in the context of enterprise mobility management.
So why does this acquisition matter? Read on and you'll see.

I am trying to find back the reference to an old german TV movie (back from the mid-80s or so) with the following 24-like scenario.
Note that these were the times when nuclear reactors (especially fast breeders) were scary in Germany, mobile phones didn't exist, and Germany was regulary hit bombs set up by red or brown extremists.
So here it is. Spoilers, of course:
- Phone call comes in at the Ministry of Interior threatening to blow up a nuclear reactor; for this not to occur, a load of gold has got to be dropped into a lake within 48h or so.
- The nuclear reactor is supposed to be done in using a Fuel-Air bomb, presumably to be dropped from a plane.
- I remember the FAE blueprint (really in white on blue) shown on an overhead projector.
- In order to prove the seriousness of the threats, a nuclear reactor has already received a "drop from the air" treatement - with a paint bomb, leaving a huge red blotch on the concrete cupola.
- Female journalist see the blotch, decides to investigate, while the authorities are keeping the lid on the whole affair.
- She manages to scare up a group of Nazi goons which she supposes are behind it all.
- Some killings ensue.
- Authorities can't find the perps. As the threat is believable, they lose the nerve, and decide to do the golddrop.
- Our journalistic heroine has found out where the drop is supposed to happen and shows up in time.
- At the scene, she meets an old guy who confesses that he is behind the whole stunt. It was just to show that nuclear energy is unsafe (or something).
- As the gold is plunging into the lake from a Transall, she ask how he is going to recuperate the loot. The answer is "I have no intention to".
- Conspiracy guy hands her all the conspiracy good, blueprints and documents so that she can do the story.
- As she comes home, the nazi goons catch up with her and kill her.
- The last scene shows the goons handing the infostash to their leader. "We found this at her place...".
- The leader goes like "Woah... that's pretty interesting!"

June 17, 2014, Houston, Texas During last week's East End Chamber of Commerce Port of Houston Appreciation Luncheon and Business Expo, Roger Guenther announced exciting news for businesses in our region. He and experts stated that Houston is on a trajectory of growth that will send shock waves across the region as we prepare for massive expansion. Guenther delivered a compelling presentation on how the area is expanding to prepare for 2015 and the Post Panamex Ships. Starting now and for the next 3-5 years, $200 Billion in industrial and manufacturing projects will hit our region from Corpus Christi, TX to Pensacola, FL. Over $70B of that will be in Houston alone. Guenther stated that every industry will be affected by this growth; specifically, distribution, construction, manufacturing, maritime, maintenance, environmental, legal, service companies and even auto dealers.
Guenther stated, "The Eagle Ford Shale didn't exist 5 years ago" as he demonstrated the stream of lights across the Southern Texas Coastal Region from a satellite photo. He stated that our area will continue to be impacted for many years to come and it is happening very quickly. In fact, our energy sector is thriving, The Medical Center has an exciting new leader, new focus and new partners, and our economy is on the brink of a boom.
As the Houston market is flooded with these new project opportunities, small and minority firms in particular will find it difficult to keep up with the demand to expand rapidly. Out of the 4,000+ minority firms in Houston, very few will be awarded these projects even though they are designated to participate. Most firms are not ready for expansion and aren't sure how to position their company for profitability and growth so they can take on more projects.
In addition, after interviewing several small business owners, they are especially finding it difficult to get the funding they need from banks. One businessman stated, "After 22 years in business, the banks treat me like this is my first year of business. They are not working with me and they are giving me the run around. In fact, I had to turn down two new projects just last week because I don't have the funds to support them." Another prominent Houston business man of 30 years had a similar story. He said, "I have always self-funded my businesses over the last 30 years. For the first time in my company history, I faced a unique challenge. We won 10 out of 12 proposals but none of them actually started because of bureaucratic delays and I found myself in a position that I could not have predicted. I needed cash. The banks gave me the run around for months, I gave them everything they asked for and there was no reason they shouldn't have funded us until these projects started. It's shameful what banks are doing to small businesses when they need them most. We provide jobs, support our community and we are the heart of the Houston economy."
Unfortunately, getting access to working capital is just one of the key issues facing small business owners. There are 8 major impact areas for companies in all industries today. They are:
- No sustainability and scalable plans in place
- Poor leadership and communication strategies to build a strong company
- No strategy to find and keep talent during labor shortages
- Lack of profitability, capital and/or cash flow for growth and expansion
- Little to no differentiating factors that set them apart from competitors
- Have not changed their marketing, sales and brand strategy to address new market challenges
- Lacks vision and strategic planning capabilities
- Non-existent or poor implementation and accountability plans
Fortunately, for those who are seeking solutions, there are people that are working hard to help these businesses and the challenges they face right here in the Houston and Dallas area. GrowthSmart Consulting and Leadership Gold partnered recently to create a 2-day Small Business Strategic Retreat. The course is called ProfitGOLD™. It's going to be held on July 10th-11th at Crowne Plaza, NW Brookhollow, Hwy 290. Business Strategists, Trisha Ahlman and Jerel Benjamin are known for designing business training that helps organizations overcome a variety of business issues. They have been working in Houston for over 10 years to help business owners and executives prepare for profitability, sustainability and growth. During this 2-day event participants will take a step back to work ON their business - something most small businesses rarely do if at all. They will prepare a one-page strategic plan then they are assigned a coach for one year to make sure they work the plan and are able to make course corrections as needed. This event couldn't have come at a better time to make a huge impact for serious businesses that choose to actively manage their business results.
If you would like to learn more about this event, you can go to www.ProfitGoldEvents.com or call Megan Jones to inquire at: 877-891-2176.

Development began in the 1960's, with first launch in 1970, but major technical difficulties resulted in the Tselina-D not being declared operational until 1976. However by 1984 technical improvements allowed Tselina-D to take over the general surveillance function of the other satellite. The final launch attempt in the series took place in 1994.
The Tselina dedicated ELINT satellite system included two satellites: Tselina-O for general surveillance and Tselina-D for detailed observations. TsNII-108 GKRE (Zaslavskiy) developed the payload while V M Kovtunenko of Yuzhnoye/OKB-586 build the satellite and launch vehicle.
The first Tselina-O was launched by a Kosmos-3M in 1970. Delays in payload development and weight growth in the Tselina-D resulted in the whole Tselina system not being operational until 1976. The Vostok booster had to be used due to the higher weight of Tselina-D; this was later replaced by the Tsyklon-3 booster. Constant improvement resulted in Tselina-O being abandoned in 1984 and all systems being put on Tselina-D. In 1981 a second control and information processing center was established.
Tselina-D and -O spacecraft were operated simultaneously to maximize results. The Tselina system not only localized and classified radio emitters but also characterized their functional regimes. It also characterized command traffic from military units, allowing targeting of those units by photo reconnaissance satellites.
Tselina-D satellites were operated in six orbital planes, spaced 30 degrees apart. They would record data received, and then dump it to ground stations while passing over the Soviet Union. In the late 1980's the much larger Tselina-2, launched by a Zenit-2 booster, began taking over the task. The last successful Tselina-D launch was in 1992. By that time the constellation had been reduced to three orbital planes spaced at 60 degrees, complementing the Zenit-2 constellation in four higher-altitude orbital planes spaced 40 degrees apart.
Western observers could monitor the status of the Tselina-D satellites via their continuous-wave beacons which operated at 153 MHz.

First Launch: 1970.12.18.
Last Launch: 1994.05.25.

A hospital trust providing free parking for disabled benefits claimants has sparked controversy for exempting war veterans in receipt of a war disablement pension.
NHS bosses introduced parking fees for the disabled at the university hospitals of North Tees and Hartlepool recently - with those on benefits able to claim the charge back.
But a veteran has hit out after it emerged that wounded soldiers receiving a war disablement pension must still pay to park.
Loading article content
Dr Derek Hall, 61, is director of the National Gulf Veterans' and Families' Association and a regular user at the Hartlepool hospital.
He said: "If I didn't have a disabled war pension I would receive income support but I get the equivalent through a different Government department.
"I have no objection to discounts being provided for people who don't have a wage packet.
"As a war pensioner, I do object to being denied the same discount.
"They provide free parking to benefit claimants and charge the war-wounded service veteran."
The decision to charge disabled badge holders who can claim back cash is set by individual hospital trusts.
Under the move, which comes as the North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Trust needs to save £40m over the next three years from its £260m budget, disabled drivers are now charged in line with others.
Blue badge holders who receive benefits including income-based jobseeker's allowance, working tax credit or pension credit, can reclaim the cost of hospital travel, including parking fees.
But people who receive a war pension are not included.
Dr Hall, also a sitting member of the House of Lords Committee dedicated to protecting ex-service personnel's welfare, is regularly treated as an outpatient at the hospital's cardiology, endocrinology, rheumatology and asthma clinics.
Dr Hall, from Wingate, County Durham, is a consultant surgeon who served with the Royal Air Force medical branch from 1972 to 1997.
A trust spokeswoman said unfortunately war pension recipients were not eligible for the refund.
She added: "Our charges would not apply to disabled drivers on income support, income-based jobseekers allowance, working tax credit or pension credits for example and parking is free on our hospital sites for all patients who are undergoing a course of treatment for cancer there.
"People with disabilities do not want to be treated differently to anyone else.
"The important thing is that they can park close to our hospital buildings and we have recently made improvements to disabled parking to ensure it is accessible."
She added that in making decision over parking charges, the trust follows guidelines set out by the Department of Health, which currently had no information regarding war pensioners.
The Department of Health confirmed that parking charge decisions are taken by individual trusts.
A spokesman for the Veterans' Agency, which issues war pensions said: "The decision on who claims for car parking would be up to the individual hospital."
Veterans can find out what they are entitled to by calling the Veterans Agency on 0800 169 2277.

|Zeller: 'Everyone says college is the best years of your life. I'm just gonna enjoy it while it lasts.' (US Presswire)
Cody Zeller could be in Charlotte now. Or Cleveland. Or Portland. Or some other NBA city residing in a downtown loft and playing the role of a multimillionaire lottery pick just beginning his professional basketball career. Instead, he's back in Bloomington taking an accounting class, living with his older brother and sister-in-law.
Yep, Indiana's star is a third wheel at the house.
"My oldest brother [former Notre Dame standout Luke Zeller] is just six years older than me, so [he and his wife] are only shortly removed from the college life," Zeller told me by phone this week. "So it's not too bad. They still hang out sometimes and stuff."
David Stern walked on a stage in New Jersey last Thursday and announced that Kentucky's Anthony Davis would be the top overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft. In less than a year, the commissioner of our nation's most star-driven league will do the same thing but announce a different name, and there's a realistic possibility -- as my colleague Jeff Goodman suggested recently -- that Luke Zeller's younger brother/roommate will earn the honor.

|NBA Draft
|More college hoops coverage
"It's kinda neat to think about, but that's a long ways away," Zeller said. "A lot of things are going to change between now and next year's draft, if I decide to come out then. And I know I have lots of things to work on. So I'm just looking forward to this year. We should have a good team."
They should indeed.
Which is why Zeller has a chance to do exactly what Davis just did -- i.e., be a National Player of the Year who wins a national championship and subsequently becomes the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft. Never mind that there was a 24-year gap between the time Kansas' Danny Manning achieved those three things and when Davis repeated the act. Zeller is good enough -- and he'll play on a good enough team, one that could be ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press preseason poll -- to do in 2013 what Davis did in 2012. Zeller didn't shy away from the challenge when I presented it to him because, he acknowledged, the opportunity to accomplish such things is among the reasons he returned for his sophomore season.
Also: He just likes being a kid.
"It's always tough to turn down the money and everything else, but I'm enjoying college," said Zeller, who averaged 16 points and six rebounds as a freshman while leading the Hoosiers to the Sweet 16. "At the end of the day I just wasn't ready to grow up."
There are some who might label this way of thinking as risky given that a top-five pick -- and that's what Zeller would've been in the 2012 NBA Draft, in my opinion -- is guaranteed to receive a two-year contract worth around $6 million, especially since Kentucky's Terrence Jones, Ohio State's Jared Sullinger and Baylor's Perry Jones III each almost certainly cost himself money by returning for his sophomore season last season.
But the truth is that the only thing that would stop Zeller from being a top-five pick next year is an injury because he doesn't have a focus problem (like Terrence Jones), a height problem (like Sullinger) or a motor problem (like Perry Jones).
Zeller is tall (6-foot-11), strong (245 pounds), fundamentally sound and only getting better, according to everybody who knows or works with him. That's why I have no issue with Zeller returning to Indiana even though I'm on record stating that projected lottery picks are typically foolish to skip the draft because the reward rarely outweighs the risk involved.
The risk is minimal with Zeller.
He's in a good position to have it all.
He can win big in his home state and solidify his legacy as an IU great.
He can then enter the NBA Draft, be the top pick and vacate that room in his brother's home.
"Everyone says that college is the best years of your life," Zeller said. "I'm just gonna enjoy it while it lasts."

Computational and Systems Medicine
Computational and Systems Medicine (CSM) is a new initiative within the UCL Division of Research Strategy and the UCL Platform Technologies group.
CSM is an attempt to draw together a number of related strands of health sciences research and practice at UCL (including UCL Partners), with the overall goal of supporting translational research – that is, closer integration of basic research in the biomedical sciences with clinical practice, in the belief that clinical experience can better inform research and that basic research can be translated more effectively and quickly into improvements in clinical practice. The overall objective is to break down barriers between research and health care, in particular by improving the ways in which information is shared between these different domains. CSM addresses the ways in which data are managed, analysed, and integrated, the ways in which the resulting knowledge is created, managed, disseminated and exploited, and the ways in which collaboration between scientists and clinicians can be improved.
As its name implies, CSM is based on the fact that computational techniques for analysis and modelling are now central to biomedical research, and that taking seriously the idea of a "systems" approach to medicine will lead to a more integrative and predictive view of disease and therapy. By "systems approach" we mean the idea that biological systems have both complex structure and complex dynamics, and that adopting the ideas and methods of the "sciences of complexity" will lead to a deeper understanding of issues such as feedback, modularity, robustness, stability and the roles that they play in disease processes. It is becoming very clear that there are very complex interactions in space and time over and above those directly coded by the genome, and that disease is often the result of errors in these interactions. The study of this complexity requires experimental, analytical and modelling techniques from many different disciplines, applied at spatial scales from the molecular to the whole organism (and indeed beyond to populations and ecosystems), and at temporal scales from femtoseconds to decades. CSM works closely with the recently-established UCL systems biology programme to ensure that the systems approach to basic biology is informed by the needs of heath care.
Another important emphasis of CSM is that translational research should ultimately be "patient-centred" rather than "molecule-centred": this perspective emphasizes the fact that no two patients, and no two instances of a disease, are identical, and that contemporary methods of analysis at the genotypic and phenotypic levels are beginning to give us some systematic understanding of how human variation plays into clinical practice. This will, we hope, lead eventually to the concept of medicine as being personalised and predictive: using computational methods and information about the phenotype of a particular patient, treatment can be optimised for that patient.
UCL is a teaching, as well as a research, institution, and one of CSM's goals is to help to foster the systems approach in teaching of life and medical sciences. The CoMPLEX Doctoral Training Programme is one pre-existing example of such an approach, and CSM works closely with members of CoMPLEX to achieve this goal.

Because I'm known for my love of red lipstick, many gorgeous friends emailed me in a congratulatory fashion after scientists at Manchester University announced that men (or at least the 50 men in their study) like to stare at women's lipsticked mouths, with red lipstick holding their attention the longest.
But staring isn't the same as loving. In an October post, I wrote about conflicting interpretations of red lipstick.
"… many men have told me that they prefer me without the red lipstick because I look more 'approachable' and 'softer.' At the same time, I've had women telling me that I'm wearing the red lipstick just to please men. Clearly, no one is pleased except me, so I'm going to continue to live by my Wear What You Want™ policy when it comes to makeup choices."
The same men who prefer me without the red lipstick have told me that red lips are "intimidating." Maybe the men in the Manchester study were just staring at their greatest fear. Maybe the study took place in George Orwell's Room 101!
I'd be amused if women started wearing red lipstick in a misguided effort to appeal to frightened men, but I'd enjoy seeing more red lips regardless of the motivation. Based on my experience, it's the supposedly innocent neutral lip that carries the man-pleasing symbolism. If my red lipstick is intimidating, warning, "Don't touch me. You'll mess up my lips," a nude lipstick is accommodating, announcing, "I'm ready, willing and able." Add gloss and the message is, "I'm ready, willing and able and delightfully slippery!" Women have also told me that red lipstick is too "loud" for them. Hmmm. Here's what lipstick designer Poppy King has to say about that in an essay for the Huffington Post:
"The muted mouth. A fashion trend, yes, but an ideological worry. A silent-mouthed generation, despite the tweeting and Facebooking and constant technological chatter. A generation of women unsure about highlighting their mouths for fear it makes them less attractive."
I've already told you that women can't win when it comes to symbolism and fashion so don't act all surprised. But, in reality, I don't care who wears what. Red lipstick, nude gloss, no lipstick — it's all good to me as long as you're happy. My point is that symbolism isn't necessarily universal. The red lipstick that screams "anti-feminist man-pleaser" to some people declares "outspoken feminist bad-ass" to others.
I was already thinking of how different people interpret things differently due to an email exchange I had with an alumna of a university organization with which I'm involved. I contacted her, identifying myself as the chairman of the board of alumni trustees. I was delighted when she answered, "It is pretty amazing to receive a … message from a woman writing as chairman of the board of trustees. I was the second woman [in a senior position at the organization], and it was a major struggle in those days just to be accepted…" But she went on to ask, "Are you sure you really want to be referred to as 'chairman?' A lot of us fought very hard to get the 'man' out of these positions."
Here's my reply in its entirety:
"Funny you ask about 'chairman.' For most of my life, I felt like words had a lot of power over me and I was very particular about using 'chairwoman' and other feminized versions of traditional titles. In the past few years — as long as I've had my own jewelry design company, probably — I feel like I have the power over the words. Many of my jewelry designs are inspired by and named for female royalty and I am particularly fond of those women who proclaimed themselves 'emperor' or 'king' rather than 'empress' or 'queen.' I feel like nothing quite says 'take that, fellas!' like co-opting the man's title. That said, when I wrote new bylaws … last year, I used the word "chairperson" to allow my successors to choose for themselves."
She loved it. And I loved seeing this quote from actress Tilda Swinton from More magazine via gorgeous blogger Jill:
"Dame? I'd so much rather be a Knight … It would, of course, be a great honor to be asked whether one would. I don't know. But I think Sir Tilda sounds so much better."
Take that, fellas!
And in case you wondered, MrB adores my red lipstick because he's not easily intimidated.

Article in the Journal! Go girl! And can't a dame just wear red lipstick because it looks good on her? You were born to wear it. And the Lulu purse… loving it! Did Gigi steal it? She is looking extra fluffy in that photo. Like a nice souffle!
Great post! My very first shade of lipstick was Max Factor "Russian Red",after that I fell in love with Urban Decay's "Redlight".It's a classic,it's an obsession! I think I am eternally searching for the perfect red lipstick.Fear the red-lipped woman!
Great articles, and very catching title of the WSJ article (is it published in WSJ?).
Well, to each his own. For me personally red means empowerment. I started wearing red lips ever since I was 18, Avon, MAC, Revlon, L'oreal, Chanel, Estee Lauder you name it I've worn it. I admit it's a shade that not everyone can pull off, but for those who can and rock it, flaunt it! Studies in this lip color business and its affects on humankind serve as guideline only. I'm never intimidated by the studies. Besides, what's not to love about red???
I never really thought too much about why I love red lipstick so much. Perhaps it goes back to my childhood when glamourous Hollywood stars wore red and looked stunning? In any case I own 147,892 different shades. (um, slight exaggeration!) I'm always in search of the perfect red lip!
I used to wear Poppy King's red lippy Sin from her original 90s collection. I still have a dried up one that must be >15 years old! I don't use it in case you are wondering! I was so excited when the PK lipsticks came out because there were no other matte lippies to be had in Australia at the time. BTW are not red lips meant to mirror the other female lips down south?
Your email response reminds me of why I love reading your blog. You are kick ass, lady.
Also, I had no idea you worked for WSJ awhile ago — I interned there during my college days a couple summers ago (for the editorial page) in NYC. Learned so much about writing. I love your lipstick article — what a fun topic to tackle!
Hi my dear-a fabulous post and I do love you in your red lippy, very chic and sexy looking! xx
I remember when Poppy King lipsticks came out in Oz, it was hugely exciting (though I was still a bit young to be wearing lipstick then). I love red lips for a night out, or even for every day when I can be bothered. But I also like plainer lips, because it means I can do more with my eyes. And on lazy days I like lips with nothing but chapstick. I don't think any of it is symbolic, it is the same as trying on different colour scarves – I am very much in the Wear What You Want camp.
Love your email response, I had always used chairperson but I might have to rethink that!
ha my anti spam word is London! brilliant.
Red lipstick is a classic and you always look drop dead gorge in it!
The hat is the cutest and I want a Lulu G lips bag badly!
Sir Tilda does sound good. Maaaan, Tilda is amazing. Whatever she wants is fine with me.
Wearing what you want is it. I'm a bit tired of people inflicting their own little paranoias about what my lipstick or hair or shoes are saying to men and to women… whatever. It really is all about me, baby!
PS – my anti-spam word is magenta. That's in the red family!
"The muted mouth. A fashion trend, yes, but an ideological worry. A silent-mouthed generation, despite the tweeting and Facebooking and constant technological chatter. A generation of women unsure about highlighting their mouths for fear it makes them less attractive."
I don't even. I mean, come on, it's lipstick. Not an ideological worry. My nude lipstick means one thing… I prefer the way I look in nude lips. I am not "unsure about highlighting my mouth" I am simply highlighting it the way I choose to. Absolutely ridiculous.
Love this post- I always saw red lips as something feminine and feminist- both my mother and sister always sported the most insane red lips, perfectly applied in front of giant mirrors. Red lipstick always screamed sophistication, confidence and strength to me. I don't think I've ever looked at someone and thought "shes doing that for a man" how silly.
I've always wanted to wear lipstick, especially red lips, but I'm pretty damned lazy. My bottom lip line is soft around the edges, and the idea of brushes, liners, blotting and all that seems like so much work!
This is such a great post– I read EVERY DAMNED WORD.
Contrary to Ashe, red lips (or any other bright dramatic lip colour) have become my go-to look when I need to look put-together in a hurry. It's easy to stash a tube of lipstick in a purse and lipstick takes so much less time to apply than a carefully blended smokey eye. Plus if the lipstick is really pigmented and has good staying power it requires fewer touch-ups than gloss!
Very interesting post. I think that when a man is intimidated by red lipstick, it is much more of a reflection of the man. As a red lipstick wearer myself, what concerns me is that some men interpret this bold, confident appearance as hard and unapproachable. Looking "soft and approachable" is not my main concern. My main concern is feeling great about myself, and I always feel better when I put on my red lipstick (Smashbox in "Legendary"). If a guy can't handle it, then that is their problem.
can i be sir jennine?
I thought this was going to be about lipstick, and I enjoyed reading it even more once I discovered it wasn't, not really. I love wearing bright lipstick, right now I'm very into pink. My husband does not care for it, but I don't care. (he doesn't want it to get on his lips)
You are so right about the symbolism – I am a die-hard red lipstick wearer and I don't care what anyone thinks. I know what it means to me.
Miss J adores red lipstick. She just never seems to find the right shade for herself.
The male/female word disparity occurs to Miss J a lot around "actor" vs. "actress". Miss J will use the word "actress" but does feel its a bit of a diminutive of "actor".
I can easily answer that for you Wendy B, being at the University of Manchester, the men are all morons. Yes wearing anything remotely eye catching will have them entranced, I remember a fuschia pink dress I wore in the summer being particularly troublesome when trying to get some sense of a porter, its hypnotic shade had him in a trance in seconds, I never did get my door fixed. Same for any bright lippy I am afraid.
I am just in the middle of writing a post on men's reactions to hair cuts after having mine cut and then reading a mag article on the subject, I will have to link in this fab post of yours!
I cannot believe you've covered approximately 10 loosely-related topics and made it all seem seamless.
Also, I'd never considered the nude lip as a muteness metaphor. Fascinating.
Really love red lipstick, especially with that 40's look… shame it doesn't suit us these days though!
I love how you explained this, guru. I feel the same way about words ending in -man.
Oh, Wendy, you rule! All hail King Wendy!
I love your philosophy around this – I have never liked a nude lip (it reminds me of some modern art where the features are erased), and nearly always lean towards bold. Intimidating, sure, but kick ass? Always!
Aha, I've learned something from the other side on this post. One girl I know says she has a lipstick fetish, she's always putting that stuff on.
I guess now that I think about it, it's interesting to watch.
Fell in love with the names Poppy assigned to her lipsticks in the early 90s — Avarice and Indolence were two favorites — and enjoy her newest collection of Saints and Sinners. Glad she's back. This woman knows lipstick.
No wonder you write for the Journal! This was such a fun; but wonderfully written post! I have to say I have never used red lipstick; except for two occasions when I was dressed as Catwoman and a dead/haunted ballerina. And I have to agree that red lips do intimidate people; (As I was definitely going for that!) but at the same time; I felt powerful and confident with red on my lips! My go to shades everyday is definitely nude/ a sheer gloss; and I was startled to read that it has man -pleasing symbolism! Definitely time to explore some other shades now!
Anyway; you should totally continue wearing red! You're definitely born for this shade!
If I could get lip color to stay on my lips, I would wear it with pride.
I am crazy for the clutch from LG! YAY+
I share a love of the red lip. And I LOVE this post. Smart, funny and archetypally YOU. I will admit that I find red lips to be sending a message of complexity, boldness, courage and a unwillingness to be ignored. Any man who is afraid of a red lip is not a man I would want to know. News flash for the scared men: Red lipstick can be washed off. It won't leave you marked permanently like some kind of lipstick Scarlet Letter. Or will it? Mwah-ha-haaaaaaaaa!;-)
I have to share this, because it goes right to the heart of what you are saying here. I went into Sephora today to get something, and I found myself looking at red lipstick. I found a color I liked and asked a salesperson to help me. She was helping a few people, so she asked another person to take over. The new salesperson suggested a different color, which I tried and liked better. And then she said,"Of course, this is for a party…not an every day look." So I asked her what she would suggest for an "every day" red lip and explained that I wanted to break away from my usual rosy color or anything pink.
And she said, "I wouldn't. Not unless you can really rock it. [Beat] You are too conservative."
To begin with, this girl has no idea who I am. Then, of course, is the fact that I told her I WANTED to rock the red lips. And she kept telling me I was too conservative for anything too bold. She suggested another color that I ended up buying because I was so flustered (stupid me)…and when I got to the car and saw it in the daylight I realized that it was almost the exact shade that I wear every day.
I mean, WTF? Apparently I don't qualify for either "anti-feminist man-pleaser" OR "outspoken feminist bad-ass."
I am taking the lipstick back, obviously, and going to the damn MAC store where I should have gone in the first place. I WILL own red lipstick.
Oh some men are so silly! I honestly don't have time for men who are intimidated by a woman wearing red lipstick. Wearing a t-shirt that says 'I eat testes for breakfast', sure. But lipstick? Come on.
To me it screams confidence…And what's sexier than that?
Ah, but on the other hand, "baroness" is so much more elegant a word than "baron." Even if I were a man, I think I'd prefer to be a baroness! I actually have a minor obsession with it; I found out a few years ago that my actual family name, before some misguided ancestor changed it at Ellis Island, was von Fallsman. And because 'Baroness Audra von Fallsman' just sounds so very natural, I imagine that surely if I did enough research, I would discover I'm actually heir to that title.
Also, as soon as I finish typing this comment I'm going to reapply my red lipstick. Because surely that's what the Baroness von Fallsman ought to do.
Love this post, WendyB!!! I love wearing red lipstick and just don't usually because I'll forget I have it on and smear all over my face during the day (also I'm bad about reapplying- you get one shot, lippie, and that's it).
I also think it's strange how easily people are intimidated/frightened. Geez, if I knew it was that easy, I would have worn red lipstick to every one of my job interviews, and, you know, invading hostile nations.
oh I love this post!!! i have started my blog in order to finally quit suffocating and muting my inner self. I wear red lips now and very comfortable with it. I wear red lipstick:
1. when I feel like it,
2. when it looks good with my outfit and so on
there's no really deep meaning in it!!!
I don't even think twice about symblism and all that…!
I also am trying new things like spikes and studs… LOL!!! Soccer mom in red lipstick with studded clothes!!! I must be going through my mid-life crisis!!! I got a small package from studsandspikes.com the other day and my husband happened to bring the mail in. He asked me if the package was for kids??!!! I think it was his way of saying WTF??? Now, tell me why little studs and spikes on a clutch (which I'm going to DIY) will cause my family such an uproar???? God forbid i get a tattoo or a piercing (I have no plans to at 39 but never say never!)
I love this post, and I love your audience, I want them to be mine! I'm Wendy too, maybe we could have a Wendy Blogging Circle! I dunno, Sir Tilda may sound better than Sir Wendy, but as I type, I'm onboard, Dame or Lady Wendy is so redundant.
A pal forwarded this to me knowing I'm a red lipstick afficionado, and I've had much the same experience as you have, I've been sporting strong lipstick for 30 years, and nothing has changed.
I do find it a cultural manifestation though, they love it on me in France, because things that have strong feminine connotations aren't seen as "other" but as simply lovely. The US and GB, with our obvious cultural similarities (read gene pool?), decidedly feminine women or those with strong personalities seem less "desireable" somehow, unless they're doing the sparkly pink baby thing like Paris Hilton. Luckily I have a French BF who also grew up here, and he actually prefers the strong lip, for the reasons I mentioned.
I'm off to look into your other offerings, happy new year, Wendy H

My task involves deploying a Java web application into a Tomcat 6.0.35 instance running on Debian Squeeze. As such, Tomcat is installed from package sources and the web application is deployed from a custom .deb package that puts the .war file into a directory below
/opt and registers it with Tomcat by dropping a context XML (let's call it
my-app.xml) into
/etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/. This works fine for the initial .deb install where the application is picked up by Tomcat's auto deployment mechanism and unpacked into
When re-installing a newer version of the .deb, Tomcat will not update the application, though. It will only detect a change if I manually execute a
touch /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost/my-app.xml
Even restarting Tomcat without touching
my-app.xml has no effect.
my-app.xml looks like this:
<Context path="/my-app" docBase="/opt/my-app/my-app.war">
IMHO, this should watch for changes of the .war (which changes when I install the updated .deb).
Autodeploy is turned on in
Any ideas?

ASK IRA: Time for a little seeding shenanigans?
Q: The Hawks have now passed the Celtics in the East. We are now half a game behind the Bucks. Right now, we have the Hawks in the first round. If it comes down to the last game where if we win we play the Celtics in the first round, where as if we lose we play the Hawks in the first round, would we lose the game on purpose in order to play the Hawks? It is strategic, but wrong to lose on purpose. What do you think? — Scott.
A: I would do everything in my power to put my team in the best position to succeed, and, yes, that means playing the Hawks in the first round. I just can't see the Heat getting past the Celtics. There simply is no one to control Rondo. And Kevin Garnett seems to turn the muscle on only against Beasley. I would pick the Heat over the Hawks. I'm not sure the Heat could get more than two games off the Celtics.
Q: I was looking over the Heat schedule. I think that if it stays focused, it could win out. Do you see it staying at No. 6 or moving up to No. 5, considering who the Bucks have to play? — Otto.
A: I don't think the Heat will be able to keep itself from passing Milwaukee. So I think the first-round matchup will be determined by where Boston and Atlanta fall. Actually, sixth seed is a better spot, since it would get Orlando instead of Cleveland in the second round.
Q: Ira, I've not been a fan of Coach Spo this year and believed the team would be far better off with a coach like Byron Scott. The past few weeks has seen growth not just from the players but, as importantly, from Coach Spo. He seems more in control, with the players responding to him and respecting him more than any point this season. His game management skills have also improved. What do you think? — Brian.
A: I think he essentially is the same as he ever was. I think that's one thing that resonates about Erik, and it's that he has a plan and beliefs and sticks to them. Oh, there might have been tweaks along the way, such as opening fourth quarters with Wade on the floor. But, for the most part, he believes there is one correct way.
Q: I know we have all heard Barkley's comments about how despite how bad the Bulls are right now, they have a brighter future than the Heat. Charles and Dwayne do spend some time together doing those commercials and other events, so do you think Charles' comments were made because he may know something that we do not about what Dwayne's intentions may be about staying in Miami or not? — Brian.
A: No, I do not think the two are close at all. I think Charles' thoughts are a product of having to turn away quickly from the crime dramas he's watching on CBS while the games are on TNT.
Q: Not really a question, but an idea that I'd like your take on: If UD does leave, I'd like to see him in either San Antonio or L.A. I think he'd be better appreciated in those two places. I really will hate to see him go, but I don't think he's on Riley's radar. — Cheryl.
A: I think Udonis would be the perfect complement bodyguard on any contender. In fact, I think it would be a waste for Haslem not to be cast with a contender, because he does his best work in winning systems.

Detroit Water & Sewerage Department hosts Water Affordability Fair August 2 to help customers
DETROIT (WXYZ) - The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department will host a Water Affordability Fair to assist low-income customers who are experiencing financial hardships.
The event will be held August 2 at the the Eastside Customer Service Center located at 13303 E. McNichols.
The Water Affordability Fair will help customers who demonstrate financial hardship in paying their water bills. Customer service representatives will be on hand to help customers set up payment agreements onsite.
"Every customer that has come to DWSD with a legitimate financial hardship has not had their water service terminated. In cases where the water has been shut off, it's been restored," said Darryl Latimer, Deputy Director. "We keep hearing at DWSD that there are poor people who are not receiving the assistance that they need, so we want to help them and we want to make it as easy as possible for them to receive that help. That's why we created the Water Affordability Fair – ease of access and ease of assistance. We are here to help."'
