Frost here again this morning- 3 days in a row now. The leaves on the
bradford pear have finally realized it is fall and are turning yellow
and red. Last night was a low of 30, was 28 the day before. Tomato
plant froze and is just pathetic looking now. I need to go yank it
out. Was a beautiful looking day today, but chilly still. I'm going
Xmas tree hunting tomorrow with a friend. I'm not getting one this
year, instead, I'm going to get a rosemary bush shaped like a tree to
decorate. I even found tiny little light this year for it! We'll be in
Texas for the week of Xmas, so I just didn't feel like doing a live tree
this year. It's sort of an every other year thing for me I guess. We
do now have 2 coats of stucco on the house and hopefully they'll be able
to attach the window sills and do the final color coat next week. Keep
your fingers crossed. All of this really cold weather we've had has
resulted in every little tiny ant in the world finding it's way into our
house. What a pain!! They aren't harmful, jsut the little tiny black
ones, but in large numbers they are a nuisance. I put out some ant
stakes around the back of the house today, so hopefully that will slow
them down some.
Stay warm all of you in chillier places than I-

Park in transition for big rig/pull thru sites. They are in the process of building a new section for pull thru's which will make the a great park. Existing sites are very tight and rely on being able to navigate across grass to enter and exit which is fine when hard and dry - not when rainy and wet. Owner is extremely helpful. I had an attached trailer that could not be separated and he bent over backwards to fit me in the park. Lots of things for kids and exceptionally well cared for. The owner was constantly maintaining. I will be back next year when the new section is complete. Very close to interstate and major truck stops. - Zoey and Reba

A very nice family park not far from I-41 (about 1 .4 miles). Rate was for July 4th weekend and we "lucked" out to get a site on Friday before weekend before reserved camper came in. Nice pool, okay WiFi, zero TV reception!! Wonder why several CGs we have been in this trip have no hot water at BR sink - I enjoy shaving in the CG BRs early am, but not with cold water. - KAZIMIRA

Nightly rates were increased $10 per night during the nearby Oshkosh "AirVenture."
No cable TV and "wifi" access was sporadic.
Our site was located adjacent to the dump station so we got a good whiff of nasty smells each time someone dumped their RV and especially when the local waste contractor pumped out the holding tanks.
Site was on an incline, which required leveling blocks. The grassy area around the site was also uneven and required moving the picnic table several times.
The interior roads are dirt, which caused extremely dusty conditions whenever a vehicle passed.
The pool & spa were too close so we had to listen to screaming and yelling children each evening. - grandflic

This place is great in a pinch. We stayed here on Labor Day weekend, as we could find nothing else. Basically, you are camping in a parking lot with a tiny bit of grass. It worked in a bind, but, no amenities outside of basic utilities. NOTE: Basically, their website and others say that you can check in at night and on weekend, via a drop box. But, this has changed. If you don't get there by 3'ish, you are SOL. In their defense, they are working on an automatic system. But, during out visit, we saw numerous folks pull in and leave, after discovering a locked utility box. - Legends Of America

It's not a campground. Forget the amenities. In late Sept., even the bathrooms were locked. There are two rows of grassy and dirt pads out in an open field/parking lot. Electrical power is centrally located with two 50A plug ins, several 30A, the rest are 15A. If you don't get one of the central spaces, bring a real long power cord or you won't reach. Water is available at all sites. The odd thing here is the sewer. Someone with a travel trailer or 5th wheel whose black valves are on the back corner would not have a problem. If you are in a Diesel Pusher, with drains in the middle, forget dumping you tanks. On both rows the sewer intakes are on high ground. The slope of the pad puts your RV's sewer drain many inches lower than the parks sewer inlet. Do-do doesn't run up hill. The only thing this place has going for it is it's right in Fond Du Lac. Downtown is walking distance away. (note that the "other" Fond Du Lac listing on RV Park reviews is dislocated. It is actually several miles south of town). - whizbang

Chose this campground as it was rated highly by a friend. Owner was arrogant, pricey for what you get. Had to buy wood to get a grill vs a fire ring.
Charged for showers: 3 minutes = 50 cents.
To clean fish: 3 to 4 dollars.
And 5 dollars to dump.
Only thing going for this campground was the view. Won't be back. - M and B

Sites were unlevel and gravel. Owner made it plain there were no discounts honored. We stayed in pull-through, as we did not want to disconnect tow. Our area had porta potties that were in horrible shape and the smell was intolerable. Electric hookups were in very bad shape and tripped our breakers when we plugged in. Stayed here one night as we were on the road. Beautiful scenery right on the water, but had quite a bit of high grass. This is more of fishing/camping site. Showers and main building were in OK shape. - PTurn85

We stayed here over Memorial Day weekend, so we should consider ourselves to even find a camping spot on a holiday weekend. When we arrived (9:10 PM) the office at already closed (9:00) for the night. The problem is they do not have any kind of night check-in procedure unlike any of the 50+ campgrounds we have stayed at over the last five years. The office is located in the owners house, so they were quite upset that we bothered them after the office had closed 10 minutes earlier. After we checked in they gave us a map and wished us luck. We had to find the site ourselves in the dark because the "office was closed." Parking was challenging because the sites are very close together and the roads have very tight corners. The lake flies were absolutely terrible and swarmed around us by the thousands. We had a three night reservation, but left left a day early because doing anything outside was not pleasant. We did not try the bathrooms because the walk was too far with all of the lake flies. On a positive note, our neighbors were friendly, the power was reliable, the water was OK, and we had one of the few full hookup sites. Overall, we pretty much disliked the campground and would not stay here again. - User3641

We went for the EAA fly-in. It was 92 and the breaker to our campsite kept blowing. I don't know how many times we had to reset the breaker. Didn't bring generator as we thought we would have electricity. Didn't use showers or bathrooms but looked very down from the outside. Don't stay here unless you have no other choice. - NINA W

Pretty nasty place, and terribly overpriced. The site was fairly level, which is a good thing since my jacks would have sunk out of sight in the mud had I used them. The bathroom was so old and run down that I didn't even bother to look at the showers. They had recently placed some gravel over the mud at our site. Result: muddy gravel! Our motorhome tires got a nice coating of mud as we pulled in. My impression of reading reviews of parks in the Oshkosh area is that there don't seem to be many good ones - and I'm not sure why not. Anyway, we will definitely not be coming back to this one! - LowesTravels

Campground isn't much to look at as it's just set in some farmland. Sites are either grass or gravel, reasonably wide and level, but a little short. If crowded it might be a little tight for larger rigs. Power was a major problem when we were there. It wasn't crowded but my voltage would drop very low when my AC turned on. On a few occasions it caused my Progressive protection to cut out the power. I had to run my generator in order to cook dinner in the microwave. There was supposed to be cable TV but our site didn't have hookup for it. Didn't matter as there was good over the air TV as well as a clear shot for satellite. Wi-Fi didn't have very good range but I was able to get it to work with a directional antenna. Speed was acceptable. Small playground for kids but not much else there or nearby. We stayed here one night to check it out with thoughts of staying here for Airventure. - glenthompson

Rate is PPA. Lots of kids, but if you have them, there's lots to do. Connections were poorly planned, and most hookups are in the wrong location. Fishing lake is just a stagnant pool of water in a field. Lots of permanent residents. This is a family themed park, with arcades, movies, outdoor areas, and pool. No Wi-Fi, except a pay log-in that we did not use. We would probably look for another park if in the area again, but was ok for a night. - Matt&Nessa

This is a very popular campground for local people with many families staying here for weeks during the summer season. We were staying here for a week during the PGA Championship tournament being held near Sheboygan. We were greeted at the entrance gate and were provided with information and site location from the gatehouse person (a very friendly college-aged woman). We had problems from the beginning as we could not find our electric or water hookups at the site. We had requested and paid for full hookups. In addition, the site was an interior, sloping site between transient sites and seasonal sites. While I waited at the site, my wife took our tow vehicle to the park office, about 400 yards down the access road. She returned several minutes later with the park's general manager who was very helpful in showing me where the "missing" hookups were: shared with several of the seasonal sites. I let him know that the site was unacceptable to us (which had been assigned by the phone rep when we made our reservations months earlier). He said he understood and assigned us to a far superior site near the center of the park and near all the amenities offered. The other negative was that the park had a plague of mosquitos! You could not leave your RV without repellent on. We left at the end of the week with bites all over us. For families the park may be a terrific place, with many, many activities for kids. It's also a NASCAR-themed park for people interested in that. We will not stay here again. - Jim J

We reserved a spot here for our Spring Vacation. Even though we specifically requested a 50A site, upon arriving, we were put into a 30A one. The spot is slightly uneven, and is missing quite a bit of gravel. The water hookup is shared, and needs to be routed under the RV (It is readily apparent that this RV park (really cannot call it a 'resort') is geared towards 'seasonal' and/or 'permanent' residents - the majority of the spots are not available for a nightly or a weekly stay. Wi-fi signal is 50-70%, apparently requires $$, but the landing web site does not even come up. We were not able to use the Wi-fi; stuck with our Verizon Broadband card. DirecTV satellite is working well. In summary, extremely beautiful area, with tons of 'outdoorsy stuff' to do, but this park is definitely not a resort. If you will be using the park as a 'home base' to explore the area, mostly sleeping in your unit, a good choice; if you're looking for a nice park to stay around your rig & relax, we'd advise against this park. - k9amz

This is an RV park of last resort. They don't tell you what the rate is until you have already parked. Cash only. Was told rate was $50 per night - for a gravel spot with electricity and water. No cable, no sewer. They settled for less when pushed. Don't believe the sign which reads "Osh Vegas Palms Fabulous Resort"! - lilrvgirl

We arrived for the EAA Air Show and stayed for 8 nights. You must be an EAA member to use the campground. Check-in was efficient. We were told to go to the right and pick any 20 X 30 foot of lawn we wanted. We found a patch of lawn between two trees that provided some shade. There are no services unless you chose to purchase an electric and water site for $67.00 a night. This is the campground if you want to see the EAA Air Show without moving your car. There is a multi lane dump station and numerous fresh water fill up stations. Tips: bring a gray water dump container, a generator for power, rope to mark your space, stakes, and containers to haul fresh water. - travelcouple

This is a specialized campground open for EAA's Air Venture during July. If your looking for a resort with lots of amenities this is not it! It's dry camping with the friendliest bunch of aviation nuts that you will ever meet! This year we arrived three days before the start of Air Venture and the campground was about half full. By the opening day it was close to capacity. This year according to EAA officials was the first time ever, that the campground was full to capacity. They have installed several new restrooms and showers so that helped with the huge crowds. But, with 40,000 campers things can get hectic. The Port-a-poties near our rig were pumped twice a day and kept fresh and clean. Fresh water and pump-outs are available at your site for $20.00 for each service or you can drive to the dump station. When it's dry it does get dusty, but this year the rains kept the dust to a minimum and in our area mud was never a problem. Considering this is a once a year event and that the entire operation from the check-in to check-out is all staffed by volunteers, I think you find that Camp Scholler is a pretty amazing place. After all, it's really all about the airplanes! Also: the friendly bunch of aviation enthusiasts that will be parked next to you. - happyflyer

The event is great, but the campground is poor. Actually it is a meadow packed with thousands of campers. The portable toilet units are clean if the company instructed to clean it doesn't forget it (which happened several times in our area). There are only two good things with this campground: most sites are level and you get free Wi-Fi. On the other hand it is dusty when it is dry and a big mud hole when it rains. It is loud from Highway 41 all night long. The rate of $21 does not include the EAA membership (min. $40 per year) that is required to go on this campground. You must be an aviation aficionado to go to this campground. - RVer from Oregon

We camped here Labor Day weekend with a last minute reservation. They just had a cancellation and we were able to get a peninsula site on the lake and it was really nice. I agree with the other post that the campground is made up of a lot of seasonal sites who could use a good clean up. Water was accessible at the back of the site but electric was at the front and on the curb side so we had the cord running across the site. We love the Kettle Moraine area and will be back. Campground was quiet and campers were respectful, except for one family who would not clean up after their dog. Loved that the campsites were semi-private with trees and bushes between most of the campsites! Peninsula would be really hard to navigate with anything bigger than 25 feet. Had a nice bar and a separate grill. - weasel007

We have been to Mauthe Lake several times. Wonderful state park. Staff is helpful and friendly. Facilities are clean with plenty of hot water. Lake is fun and clean. It is a very nice campground with nice playground, beach., fishing pier, little store, beautiful trail around the lake. Milwaukee river flows through Mauthe Lake. Our kids, 6,4, and 1 love this place. The campground is nice, clean and very quiet. The campsite itself is very wooded and secluded. Would come back in a second! - basiamil

We stayed one night on our way to Peninsula State Park, Door County, Wisconsin. We arrived on a Sunday evening and most camping spaces were vacant. Lots were very spacious. Only a few small trees in our area. We pulled into our site. No cable, no internet,no sewer. There was a distant view of Lake Winnebago. They have a pool which we did not use. We really liked the extra large dog park. However, if you have an escape artist he could get out in certain sections of the bottom of the fence. There was a large seasonal population in the wooded area. - Sunnie-Wheelhouse
Jul 2016 - $37.00
This campground was the July monthly choice for our local camp group and the transient area of the park where we camped was wide open, treeless, bordered by a soybean field and with a great view overlooking Lake Winnebago. There are 38 sites available for transients. The rest of the park is primarily seasonal and their sites are located in a heavily wooded area. Given the warmth of the days, some shade would have been nice but there was a steady unobstructed breeze that helped cool us off. The campground's utility layout is puzzling at best. All the sites in our area had a pedestal located near the front corner on the curb side of the rig if you backed in. It's like they were designed for a coach park. The option we chose was to pull forward into the site so the utilities were on the proper side but you had to drive onto the grass to get your rig setup properly on the pad. There was plenty of room for that maneuver at every site. Evidently the owners don't mind so most everyone in the group did likewise. Those who didn't, ran power and water under the rig to the other side. There is no sewer, but they have two dump stations conveniently located side by side as you exit. The pads are gravel and most of the sites will require varying degrees of leveling due to the sloping terrain in this area of the campground. Patios are grass. Site length is very generous and site width is incredible with 60+' between rigs. Water pressure was good at around 45psi. 50a electric was stable and heavily used due to the heat. The park is geared to families with an on-site restaurant, a pool (always full of youngsters when we were there), put-put golf, disc golf, game room and lots of golf carts. The park was full the weekend we stayed and some of our neighbors pushed the limits of the quiet time rule by an hour. Once they left on Sunday everything was peaceful and serene. We would come back to this campground again but during the week. - Born2Roam

The park was very nice. We found out about this campground at the local RV show. We camped there the last week in April so nothing was really open in the campground but we still had fun. We loved the dog park, our dog seemed to love it. There was a lot of room for him to run around off leash. This is a nice change. The view from the campground was wonderful overlooking the lake from the top of the hill. We would stay again. I do wish they had full hook up sites but can't have it all. It does have a bar and restaurant on site and hope to come back while it is open . - splicer

Did HTC make a mistake by not announcing its new flagship at MWC?
HTC changed course a little bit this year. In the past, when other OEMs announced their flagship phones at MWC, HTC was right there along side of them announcing its own flagship. This year, it went a different direction. When the world was introduced to the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and the LG G5, with an honorable mention going to the Sony Xperia Performance, there was no HTC flagship to be seen, opting instead for a later announcement at its own venue several weeks from now, possibly April 11. Instead, HTC did unveil a few midrange smartphones in its Desire collection. Nice, but not sexy.
So, did HTC make a mistake this year by holding back? That's the kind of question we tackle here at the offices of the Weekend Debate, so let's dive right in, shall we?
Learning from past mistakes
On the one hand, HTC's past has not always been the ideal way to introduce a smartphone. We've said it before, but announcing your flagship along with everyone else's flagship is a great way to get lost in the crowd. You find yourself as part of a list, rather than the headliner for your own concert. When you hold your own event, you get to control a lot of the conversation. You have the world's attention focused just on you and no one else gets to cut in on that action.
Every year, HTC has gotten a little press of its own before jumping right in to the comparisons. HTC never really held its own spotlight, instead sharing it with the other kids at the big boys table. Well, this year, that will not be the case. This year, HTC will have its own event where it can more effectively relay its message and stand apart from the crowd.
And yet…
But is that necessarily the best thing for HTC right now? After all, if the April 11th debut rumors are true, HTC will be introducing its flagship after the release of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and right around the same neighborhood as the LG G5. Just so we're clear – those are the dates that the Galaxy phones and LG G5 are available to buy. If the HTC rumors are true, HTC's phone won't be out for a solid month after that. So, sure HTC will have it's own event, but chances are we'll be publishing reviews of its competition before we know anything for sure about what HTC has to offer.
Will HTC be fashionably late to this party? Or will the party have already run out of food, the band will be playing its last song, and uncle Bill will already be stumbling around drunk asking people if they'd seen his Steven Colbert impression? Even more importantly, did I take this metaphor too far? Almost certainly. But as for HTC, it does beg the question of how much interest will be left in new Android smartphones by the time HTC announces, let alone launches. Samsung is going to sell a ton of phones; there isn't much room for debate there. But HTC has traditionally been the first Samsung alternative, but it could be losing that title to LG if its not careful.
HTC could be failing to become that alternative because Samsung is shipping its flagships even before HTC gets to make a case. If there are people just waiting to upgrade to the latest and greatest, HTC is missing that boat, by a pretty big margin.
Good idea, bad timing
As for me, I think HTC did the right thing, by not announcing at MWC. There were just too many other phones coming out for HTC to make a real splash. That being said though, I think April 11 is way too late. Actually, any time after Samsung goes on sale is way too late. Even if there are supply chain problems or something else making it impossible to ship until early May, delaying the announcement of the phone until after your main competitor starts shipping is a mistake, if you ask me.
But what about you? If you are sitting in the big chair for HTC, when would you announce your latest flagship? Would you drop at Barcelona, along with the rest of the field and while the world's attention was calling? Would you wait until mid-April to get the word out? There are a lot of possible answers to this question, so let's hear what you think. The comments await your words, so write them below, and let's see if we can figure this out.

Skip to comments.Illinois GOP leader sends racist email aimed at former Miss America
Posted on 06/23/2013 4:37:57 PM PDT by chicagolady
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
Erika Harold is a Harvard educated lawyer, a former Miss America, and a conservative Republican who's now running for Congress.
Her beauty queen credentials have gotten her lots of attention, but an email that surfaced today could get her a lot more.
Harold is running against incumbent Rodney Davis in a primary next March. Since she is bi-racial, GOP activist Doug Ibendahl wrote that she'd be good for the party.
"Just be a great face for the Republican party," Ibendahl wrote. "We could actually do, in Illinois, we could do more than talk about diversity. We could actually promote it."
But last night, Ibendahl received an email from Jim Allen, the chairman of the Montgomery County Republican party, south of Springfield. Allen is backing Rodney Davis and he wrote that Harold is being "used like a street walker," that she's "the love child" of the Democrats, and that someday she'll be "working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires." Ibendahl says Allen ought to resign his party chairmanship.

The only candidates the ILLINOIS GOP will support is if you are Pro gay marriage, Pro Amnesty and anything that will defeat Conservative values. What a bunch of LOSERS! I am sure the Illinois GOP is just one example of many GOP organizations that are striving to stop Conservatives, It is NOT only the IRS!
This guy was already forced out over this. I have to disagree with how they are describing. His email might be insulting, and sexist, but I didn't see a race part.
Sheeeeyit. You just watch. DemocRATS will come out of their little nests in droves to support Allen.
Any wonder the GOP in Illinois is doing so well. /s
Sounds like typical liberal behavior.
If Allen said that, shun him.
As a parent of two biracial kids and our family being about the end of the right spectrum in conservativeness, it pisses me off...
Of course, 0bomber being biracial, wimpy, dividing America instead of uniting and being too wimpy to call himself biracial, he/it pisses me off worse. Nothing compares to president demon seed.
Typical Illinois GOP behavior as well!
So, You are Brain dead, your point is?
You have my sympathies.
I'd say this guy is your basic RINO who doesn't like conservatives. She's conservative, and that's why he's trying to plant these doubts.
RINOs have done the same thing for every non-WASP candidate, whether black, Asian or Hispanic. The latter groups in the GOP, particularly the blacks and Hispanics, tend to be conservative, and RINOs don't like that.
You noticed?!?!
Illinois........WE gave you Barack Obummer!
Why am I brain dead? I agree with your overall point about the Illinois GOP, but one has to be accurate right? The guy should have lost his job, and never should have been there in the first place. But anything I read was not racist, it was insulting, juvenile, unwise, and sexist. Am I wrong?
He thwarts the plans of the crafty so that their hands achieve no success...Job 5:12
As I said before, many of us have tried to run, ( Blacks and Hispanics) and the Illinois GOP does everything in their power to defeat the minorities that try to run in Illinois.
The connotation of Love Child and Street walker.........Seems like you are the only one who has had trouble surmising what that could mean.
the e-mail goes on...
"Now, Miss Queen is being used like a street walker and her pimps are the DEMOCRAT PARTY and RINO REPUBLICANS," Allen wrote in an e-mail to Republican News Watch.
The Post-Dispatch describes it as an independent website run by conservative Republicans who are challenging moderate GOP leaders in Illinois.
He also predicted that Davis would win and that Harold would be "working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires."
Wasn't there a "republican" Alderman suggesting that people write in Able Lincoln instead of voting for you?
LOL! Something like that, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!
Chicago republicans make Michigan RINOs look like Ronald Reagan.
Thankfully, the maroon resigned last Thursday.
The Illinois Combine. The Illinois GOP is just an extension of the Chicago Machine.
BTW ping.
Agreed. One has to strain really hard to find a racial slur.
and soon, Illinois GOPers will be able to concealed carry to these circular firing squad events
Mr. Allen, How are you!?
And there's not the slightest possibility that his meaning could be that she is a (minority) female?
Name's not Allen but otherwise I'm doing great. How're you?
This might be good, in the ultimate sense, for the Illinois GOP. The leadership could be fired by the rank and file and replaced with conservatives.
This. LOL
Lol. Really?

Thanks chicagolady.
Not a chance. Illinois political culture is extraordinarily race conscious. I'm guessing 9 out of 10 illinoisans, at minimum, when they hear "minority," register that as probably racial. If they know the person is black, its not probably, but definitely racial.
And another thing. Something weird about this. She was pushed out by the combine, establishment types hand picked Davis over her, yet Allen is packaging this as if Davis is the true conservative. I think this is purely to sell Davis to the predominantly conservative central IL base. But if he's the combine candidate, he is a lock to betray conservatives somewhere down the road.
Great analysis.

Lovely mix of beers and ciders, a real ale drinkers paradise. No frills, good basic food, great atmosphere. Staff really know their ales.
One of the best pubs in town, closely followed by St Jude's, love the fact you can try before you buy and there is always a great choice of local and further a field beers.
I've only ever been in here twice and don't really plan on going back in, which is a shame as it is a cozy pub with a nice beer garden to the back and a very good selection of real ales. However, I found the crowd a bit pretentious, snobbish and clannish and the staff weren't all that pleasant. Having...
I love this place, it is just so full of great beers, great beer festivals and the biggest pint of pork scratchings you will ever see, this is a must for anyone that loves real ale, or you can have something off the fizzy list if you like !
The Dove is probably the best pub in Ipswich. There staff are all very friendly. There are numerous real ales in here. They specialise in serving real ales and have won many National awards for this.. There are many different areas to sit in including very cosy, wide open spaces and even under a marquee. You can order an Indian...
The frequent beer festivals put this pup as a beacon for Real Ale in Ipswich. A large selection of beers are complimented with great service, and vibe.
The only downside being the fruit machines and TV screens which can be avoided.
Superb range of ales and a great outdoor seating area. Like it best when they put on a BBQ in the seating area outside
Large selection of excellent beers a true pub.
Good seating in various rooms and reading matter always available.
My local.Great range (24 ish excellent traditional beers, plus wines & spirits of all sorts). Good value (ie better prices than tied houses).
Had a short visit to Ipswich and wanted to try a local real ale pub.
My first choice from reading the trip advisor reviews was the The Dove Street Brewery and I can see and taste why this place is highly rated.
A great selection of real ale and I tried a few. The service and advice was excellent.

Anaheim taps utility chief as interim city manager
ANAHEIM Two managers, one city.
Marcie Edwards was appointed late Tuesday night to immediately step into the role as interim city manager in Anaheim, serving concurrently for the next five weeks with City Manager Bob Wingenroth, who is scheduled to resign June 7.
The move, approved by the Anaheim City Council during a closed-session meeting, is aimed at creating a seamless transition until a permanent city manager is hired to oversee day-to-day municipal operations, city spokeswoman Ruth Ruiz said.
Edwards has worked as Anaheim's utility general manager since January 2001. She took on additional duties as an assistant city manager between 2009 and 2011. Prior to working in Anaheim, she spent 25 years with the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
Despite her temporary title, Edwards will not receive a raise from her $283,686 annual salary as utility manager and will not apply for the permanent job, Ruiz said. Wingenroth will continue to be paid his $250,000 annual salary until he leaves next month but will not get a severance package because he stepped down voluntarily.
The City Council has hired an executive search firm to seek a long-term replacement for Wingenroth, who announced his resignation last month after less than one year of working as Anaheim's chief administrator.
Wingenroth said he wants to be closer to family living in his native Arizona and has secured a job as assistant city manager of Surprise, a suburb of Phoenix.
"I don't see any confusion here," Ruiz said when asked why the city had overlapping city managers. "Marcie is assisting in the transition, while Bob attends to family business and moves back and forth between Anaheim and Arizona."

Customer questions about this product
- My business is at a high elevation; does this change anything when I order gas cooking equipment?
- Many gas equipment manufacturers need to make adjustments to the equipment so it operates correctly at elevations over 2,000 feet. Sometimes we can special order from the manufacturer and have your cooking equipment delivered ready-to-go, but in cases where your unit is in stock and waiting to ship, you'll need to have a qualified service technician come to your location and alter your unit at the time of installation so that it is compatible with a higher elevation. Contact our Special Orders team prior to placing your order, and we will let you know what will work best for the equipment you are planning to purchase.
The 15" wide Star Max 615TF gas griddle features a powerful 28,300 BTU burner and quick responding thermostatic controls for high performance. A polished 1" thick steel plate distributes heat evenly and recovers quickly, for optimum results for breakfast, lunch, or dinner grilling!
The Star Max 615TF countertop gas griddle features heavy duty all welded construction with a 4 1/2" high tapered splash guard and 4.25 quart grease drawer for durability and easy cleaning, while heavy duty metal knobs guarantee long-lasting performance. Heavy duty 4" adjustable legs allow you to modify the height of this griddle to match your other countertop equipment. The Star Max 615TF 15" countertop gas griddle is shipped configured for natural gas operation. A gas conversion kit is included for modification to liquid propane operation.

Instead of requiring users to use v4l configs, we will be supporting dynamic resolution and framerate control based on bandwidth in PeerConnections, and constraints-based support for resolution and framerate for getUserMedia(). Details of how defaults will be handled have not yet been set.
#1 Randell,
No requirement for users to use v4l2 was suggested or implied.
afaict your comment does not address this bug as stated in the summary and description.
perhaps you could elaborate?
ie in respect of meeting the users chosen method to define frame rate and format?
which may for example be v4l2
whilst bandwidth is clearly a constraint, it does not elucidate the relation between frame rate and format, which the author and user will need to control, as this is directly dependent on purpose.
Yes, a way to configure the initial webcam settings (via v4l2 tools or otherwise) is quite important. Nowadays 1080p webcams are a reality, with internet bandwidths also being sufficient for streaming such, so being forced into 640x480 without any note or warning is quite unfortunate. Dynamic control of it would be nice indeed, but perhaps in the mean while user-set settings should be taken into account? Some things, like the aspect ratio, will have to be taken into account regardless, I believe.
We support getUsermedia constraints now, and those drive what frame size / frame rate ends up being selected. You can see this in the bug linked in the original comment which is now RESOLVED FIXED with a reference to the spec.
There's also settings in about:config to control the defaults if the webpage doesn't request anything specific.
So I think this has been RESOLVED FIXED for a while already?
What are the mentioned settings called, then?
But note that, as already explained above, the *webpage* that requests the camera usage should define what format it desires via constraints (and it's free to ask the user what values he deems appropriate or select good default based on the purpose of the page). Those settings just define what happens if it says "give me video, I don't care what size" which isn't going to be the case you want to be in.
Ah, thanks. Changing these does indeed change which resolution is used (I'm testing it on appear.in), though not which pixel format. It seems to prefer MJPEG (although the default 0x0 results in it selecting 640x480 YUV, not any of the MJPEG ones), and for me that always results in nothing but a green flickering frame, but I suppose that's a separate issue.
Yes, please file with as much details as possible (platform)?
Preferring MJPEG sounds wrong because YUV should be faster to convert to the I420 that the video encoder uses (but it's entirely possible that at HD rates the camera forces MJPEG due to USB bus bandwidth constraints, or something).
OK, opened bug #1166664 for that.

Fall 2016
Comparative literature courses explore a range of times, places and media. But they usually focus on one central issue: the ways poems mean, what sides have been taken in the debate over women, what makes a text anti-Semitic, how settled peoples imagine and depict foreigners, how travelers see new worlds.
Smith College reserves the right to make changes to all announcements and course listings online, including changes in its course offerings, instructors, requirements for the majors and minors, and degree requirements.
CLT 100 Introduction to Comparative Literature: The Pleasures of Reading
Topic: Cannibals, Witches, and Virgins
Katwiwa Mule
T/Th 1:00-2:50
An examination of the rewritings and adaptations of the three iconic figures of Shakespeare's The Tempest—Caliban the demi-devil savage other, Sycorax the devil-whore, and Miranda the virgin-goddess—by writers from different geographies, time periods, and ideological persuasions. Using texts such as Aimé Césaire's A Tempest, Rachel Ingalls' Mrs. Caliban, Lemuel Johnson's Highlife for Caliban, Gloria Naylor's Mama Day, and Michelle Cliff's No Telephone to Heaven, we will seek to understand how postcolonial, feminist, and postmodern rewritings of The Tempest transpose its language and characters into critiques of colonialism, nationhood, race, gender, and difference.
FYS 140 Literature and Medicine
Sabina Knight
T Th 10:30-11:50
How do stories heal? What can we learn about medicine from stories, novels, poems, plays and case studies? Comparing narratives from different cultures, students will also compose their own stories. The course also introduces broader issues in the medical humanities, such as medical ethics, healthcare disparities, and cross-cultural communication. Works (available in translation) from China, Taiwan, France, Russia, and North and Latin America. Enrollment limited to 16 first-year students.
FYS 143 The Secret Worlds of Fiddler on the Roof
Justin Cammy
The Broadway musical and then Hollywood film Fiddler on the Roof launched the age of American ethnic revivals in the 1960's, and is still among the most widely performed and beloved musicals in the world. How did a series of Yiddish stories by Sholem Aleichem featuring a traditional father and his rebellious daughters become an international hit? The course introduces cultural studies by demonstrating how interdisciplinary approaches enlarge a key text. We explore Sholem Aleichem's original writings through the prism of gender, class, ethnicity, religion, language, radical politics, trauma and collective memory, and then chart their migrations from Eastern Europe to America through translation and performance. An excursion to the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst exposes students to material book culture and the imagining of lost worlds, while a trip to New York City offers sites of immigrant culture. Enrollment limited to 16 first-year students.
CLT 202 Western Classics in Translation, from Homer to Dante
Robert Hosmer-M W 9:00-9:20
Michael Thurston-M W F 11:00-12:10
Same as ENG 202. Texts include The Iliad; tragedies by Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides; Plato's Symposium; Virgil's Aeneid; Dante's Divine Comedy. Lecture and discussion. CLT 202/ENG 202, like CLT 203/ENG 203, is among the courses from which comparative literature majors choose two as the basis of the major. Students interested in comparative literature and/or the foundations of Western literature and wanting a writing-intensive course should take 202 or 203 or both.
CLT 205 Twentieth Century Literature of Africa
Katwiwa Mule, T Th 10:30-11:50
A study of the major writers and diverse literary traditions of modern Africa with emphasis on the historical, political, and cultural contexts of the emergence of the writing, reception and consumption. We will pay particular attention to several questions: in what contexts did modern African literature emerge? Is the term "African literature" a useful category? How do African writers challenge Western representations of Africa? How do they articulate the crisis of independence and postcoloniality? How do women writers reshape our understanding of gender and the politics of resistance? Writers include Chinua Achebe Ngugï wa Thiong'o, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Chimanda Ngozi Adichie, Nadine Gordimer, Njabulo Ndebele, and Ama Ata Aidoo. We also watch and critically films such as Blood Diamond, District 9, Tsotsi and The Constant Gardener.
CLT 220 Colloquium: Imagining Language
Margaret Bruzelius
This course explores the ways in which philosophers and artists have imagined the links between language and the world. We read mostly pre-20th century theories of language—Plato's Cratylus, St. Augustine's On the Teacher, Locke on language from the Essay, Herder and Rousseau on The Origin of Language, Freud on jokes—and link them to novels, poems and other artwork by (mostly) 20th-century artists such as Louis Zukofsky, May Swenson, Lewis Carroll, Richard Powers, Xu Bing, Russell Hoban and others who focus on the materiality of language, on words as things. Readings are accompanied by weekly exercises such as rebuses, invented etymologies, alphabet poems, portmanteau words, emoticons and so on.
ENG 241 The Empire Writes Back: Postcolonial Literatures
Ambreen Hai
An introduction to Anglophone fiction, poetry, drama and film from Africa, the Caribbean and South Asia in the aftermath of the British empire. Concerns include: the cultural work of writers as they respond to histories of colonial dominance; their ambivalence towards English linguistic, literary and cultural legacies; the ways literature can (re)construct national identities and histories, and explore assumptions of race, gender, class and sexuality; the distinctiveness of women writers and their modes of contesting cultural and colonial ideologies; global diasporas, migration and U.S. imperialism. Readings include Achebe, Adichie, Aidoo, Dangarembga, Fanon, Walcott, Cliff, Amitav Ghosh, Rushdie, Jhumpa Lahiri, Mohsin Hamid and some theoretical essays.
SPN 250 Iberian Literature and Society
Topic: Cyphered Presences
Reyes Lázaro
A cultural study of underrepresented voices in Spanish History since the Middle Ages to the 18th century. Through paintings, medieval popular culture, literature and films we will look for voices of women, moriscos, conversos, slaves, artists, children, the illiterate, etc., traceable throughout literature and art. We will pay particular attention to aljamiado coded texts, to Velazquez's and Goya's depictions of, respectively, 17th and 18th century Spain, and to three crucial texts that ushered in modernity precisely through the expression and/or representation of non-dominant voices: Celestina, Don Juan and selected fragments of Don Quijote. Prerequisite 220 or equivalent.
CLT 268 Transnational Latina Feminisms
Nancy Sternbach
This course examines the last twenty years of Latina writing in this country while tracing the Latin American roots of many of the writers. Constructions of ethnic identity, gender, Latinidad, race, class, sexuality and political consciousness are analyzed in light of the writers' coming to feminism. Texts by Esmeralda Santiago, Gloria Anzalda, Sandra Cisneros, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Denise Chavez, Demetria Martinez and many others are included in readings that range from poetry and fiction to essay and theatre. Knowledge of Spanish is not required, but will be useful.
CLT 300 Literary Theory and Literary Practice: Conflicts and Consensus
Anna Botta
T Th 3:00-4:50
This course presents a variety of practices and positions within the field of literary theory. Approaches include structuralism, poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, gender and queer studies, cultural studies and postcolonial studies. Emphasis on the theory as well as the practice of these methods: their assumptions about writing and reading and about literature as a cultural formation. Readings include Freud, Lacan, Levi-Strauss, Barthes, Derrida, Foucault, Bakhtin, Gramsci, Bhabba, Butler, Said, Ngugï wa Thiong'o,Zizek. The class is of interest to all students who wish to explore a range of approaches and methodologies within the humanities as well to students who plan to go to graduate school in literature programs. Enrollment limited to 25.
