Short Cute Love Poems

I believe that God above,
Created you for me to love,
He picked you out from all the rest,
Coz He knew I would love you the best.

If I’d get a rose for every time I think of you,
I would spend every day in a rose garden …
I am thinking of you.

You are like the sunshine, so warm,
you are like sugar, so sweet…
you are like you …
and that’s the reason why I love you!

I love so much.
my heart is sure.
As time goes on I love you more.
Your sweet smile,
your happy style,
your loving face,
no one will ever take your place.

What is a flower without the sun?
What is the earth without the sky?
What is life without fun?
What am I without you?
This is why I tell you,
I love you.

~ Cute text messages for your sweetheart’s cellphone 🙂 ~

A sweet little rabbit,
just like you,
because I love you !!

I Luv u 2day,
I Luv u 2morrow,
and if you put it 2gether,
I Luv u 4ever !!

Luv is like a cloud…
luv is like a dream…
luv is 1 word and all in between.
Luv is a fairytale come true …
Coz I found luv when I found U.

When u r sad………i will try ur tears
when u r scared………i will confort ur fears
when u r worried……..i will give u hope
when u r confused…….i will give u cope
and when u r lost…….and cant see the light
i shall be ur beacon…..shining ever so bright
this is my oath……..i pledge till the end
why u may ask?……..because u r my Love.

A Community at the Crossroads

“A Community at the Crossroads”

By Scott Bucholtz

As musicians and lovers of audible creations, both earthly and otherworldly, we can all identify with the classic print advertisement that showed a man sitting in front of two large living room speakers – with his hair being blown back from the sound waves. That feeling, that energy. Being transported and enraptured by the intoxicating exhilaration… It is precisely those feelings that drove us to learn to play. To pick, pluck and strum. To massage and caress and to hit with force. It fed the desire. Remember?

Then, instead of simply sitting in front of the speakers, we attempted to play along. To participate. Hour after hour. Day after day. This is when dreams truly began to formulate. If the dreams were REAL, it wasn’t dreams of Sex, Drugs & Rock-n-Roll. It was ALL about the music.

Turning a few pages forward, the experience of the non-verbal communication with others is like being part of a secret community with its own language. The “we went to different schools together” feeling. Communicating via music. Call and response, unison, harmony. Then, combining it all together: performing – with an audience. If you’re lucky enough to be able to get their attention and earn a positive response… THAT may be the highest known form of euphoria. The communal climax. If you’ve had it, how could you forget it?

It’s been said that Charleston is a town full of musicians but just a handful of bands. Plane Jane, Johnny Mac & The Booty Ranch, Leslie, Mason Dixon… there are a few others that have been established. But really, it’s the high ratio of musicians in town that I think is a major part of what makes this area so special. The number of accomplished guitarists and songwriters around is amazing and I often say that a bird can’t make a dropping without hitting a drummer! (Why do us drummer’s always get crapped on?) Jam Night is a classic example. Jam Night is also the best place to ask: Who’s playing with them? You got a gig Friday? Jim’s going to play bass, you want to play? Stop by, bring your guitar. If you can make it out, we’ll get you up for a few songs… As far back as I can remember and to this day, whenever I see live music, I want to get on stage on play. Here, I often get to and it’s usually thanks to the Lowcountry Blues Club.

Speaking of the band Leslie - What better example of ‘community’... Leslie only had to cancel one gig after all of their gear was stolen. Countless members of the community stepped up for them! They were blown away by the support that they received. I must say that those are three guys who have got “it”, “get it” and appreciate it. (By the way, you HAVE to get their new CD “Lord, Have Mercy”.)

As members of the Lowcountry Blues Club, we get to participate in “Jam Night”. It’s our weekly Holiday. It’s a birthday party and a family reunion. If you don’t think that Jam Night is something special, think about the crowds that regularly are in attendance. Think about the response and support you get. Do your bands gigs always compare favorably? We can’t afford to take the Blues Club and Jam Night for granted. It’s special and we are lucky to be a part of it. Note: Pay your dues!!! Jam Nights are the best opportunity in town to make contacts and catch up. Not to mention that you get to see and hear some of the best talent that the Lowcountry (and beyond) has to offer.

Nearly everyone that I have met and everything that I have done in Carolina can be credited to being turned onto the Blues Club (Thanks again to Mike Davis from Ye Olde Music Shop). With the recent retirement of President Tim Shaw and the pending departure of ‘creator’ Dereck Curry (as VP), we are at a significant crossroads. For the weekly jam to continue, not to mention the involvement with the International Blues Challenge and the Blues Foundation, dues must be paid and active, conscientious leadership must be in place. We can’t sit on our hands! Remember, the Club and the weekly jam not only provide great entertainment, a viable network and sense of community, it is a musical outlet unlike any other. For many it is their ONLY chance to perform. For me, picking up my sticks is like a hug from a loved one, everything feels right. I wish that everyone could experience the joy and excitement that I get when playing. For those that have ‘been experienced’, do you need to be reminded...?

I’ve had the pleasure to be a part of The Mason Dixon Band since August of 2010 and I have the incredible good fortune to also be in The Jonathan Robinson Trio, since early 2011. Recently, I had my first gig with the incredible YoungMi Feldsott and friends (I sincerely hope that there will be many more to come). The stories behind how I got involved with these groups range from an intricate grapevine of connections and contacts to a simple introduction – all can be traced back to the Lowcountry Blues Club.

As an example of the power of networking, I had happened to mention to YoungMi that I was looking to pick up some extra gigs. Within an hour of that conversation, she calls me and says, “I got us a gig”. Then, she calls me later that same day and says, “do you want to fill in tonight?”. Within a 10 day period, I picked up three gigs! To take it a step further, she has introduced Jonathan and me to a couple of club owners who are booking the Jonathan Robinson Trio. It’s amazing to watch how the network of this community can operate! So, a special ‘thank you’ to YoungMi. And, guess what, I would never have met her had it not been for the Blues Club. In fact, I would not be playing at all if it had not been for Lowcountry Blues Club. I would just be dreaming about it. Trust me, reality is better!

There will be a meeting on July 13th at 6:30PM at Home Team BBQ/WA to elect the new board and officers for the Lowcountry Blues Club for the upcoming year. Be sure to come out early that Wednesday to participate in planning the future of the club.

Kick off your weekend with YoungMi and OLD YOU on the Vendue Rooftop at 6 on Friday. I’ll be with The MASON DIXON BAND at the Sand Shack later Friday night while The LOUIE D. PROJECT (with J.R. Getches) will be at Bambu and SGT. SUBMARINE (with Bill Nance) will be at The Wolf Track Inn. Saturday night features Captain Kirk with STARLING at the Bottom Grill & Pub in Bonneau, Rev. Dr. JOHNNY MAC & the BOOTYRANCH will be at Fiery Ron’s Home Team BBQ (WA) while OLD YOU will be at Boone’s on King Street. Also, DRIVIN’ N CRYIN’ and GASLIGHT STREET will be at The Windjammer. Sunday also has a full slate of awesome choices: EDWIN McCAIN at the Windjammer, JASON ISBELL and the 400 UNIT at The Pour House, GASLIGHT STREET at The Brick House Kitchen and The LOUIE D. PROJECT at The Brick. NOTE: Try to make it past the 4th with all of your fingers! If you survive all of that, catch SKYE PAIGE at the Tattooed Moose Tuesday night. ENJOY!!!

Right on, Scottie. Blues club is just an awesome place to meet new friends and play with some great musicians. Last night (June 29) was a fine example of the energy and power of the random combinations of musicians that get up on stage there - only at blues club! We need to find more ways to get people involve and fulfill the community and educational objectives of the club charter, too. Look forward to helping with that, English Charlie.

Hello again!

We've had two wonderful weeks spending time with both sets of Grandparents. Busy times which is exactly how summer should be, right? Needless-to-say, I have tons of photos to organize before sharing our adventures around Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee with four very special people.

NOTE: I'm a bit of a procrastinator so please be patient. I'm also a mom, a climber and a outdoor fanatic so that all is factored into the equation too. :)

In the mean time, enjoy a little photo journey to Tuskens Farm. We headed out there a few days ago to get our hands on cherries, raspberries, strawberries and candy treats galore!
Katie, Emmett & Vera.
Lunch time.
Treat time.
Mom time.
Wash time. (only part of what we came home with)
Freezer jam time.
The Grand Finale...Raspberry Pie. I grew up with raspberry bushes in my back yard so this is a real trip down memory lane to pick and bake a fresh raspberry pie. It is delicious! Oh the memories...

Phil and Dana said...

We love Tukens! So fun. I'll be right over for a piece of that pie.

Amy said...

YUM!!!! I love cherries and that big bowl of them looks amazing. So does that pie! :-)

Carolyn said...

Tuskens Farm looks great. Gonna have to check it out!

Poor Davie.  Her dumb mother has subjected her to stimuli that her little nervous system is not ready to handle.  Last night, we went to the OKC Thunder game ... with a 7 week old.  It was SO outrageously loud.  She didn't act like it bothered her then, and actually I had her asleep in a sling most of the time.  But when she woke up at home, she was VERY upset.  We tried everything - feeding, changing, pacifying.  She was so mad she wouldn't even let a pacifier past her lips.  Finally, I swaddled her up tight and we turned out all the lights in her room and rocked while I shushed her.  She calmed down enough to take a pacifier, and then after that she was good.  Whew.

Today I took her to school so I could get some stuff to plan for next week.  We stayed in the teacher's lounge during lunch.  My 4th grade team is laidback and calm, so no big deal.  The 5th grade teachers are loud and boisterous and I think she became over-stimulated again, because tonight she was again inconsolable.

It's important to remember that babies DO have immature nervous systems, and therefore need us to shield them from getting over-stimulated or over-tired.  We have to look for "cues" that tell us they are getting tired, and then get them to a quiet place where they can rest.

I looked up techniques for soothing a baby that is over-tired.  I found a website/book/DVD called "The Happiest Baby on the Block".  The dude (Dr. Karp) talks about 5 S's: 1) swaddling (tightly with arms down by their sides), 2) shushing (louder than their crying, or use some kind of white noise), 3) side (lay them on their side or tummy . . . I prefer us being tummy to tummy with her on her side), 4) swinging (or some kind of rhythmic motion), 5) sucking (pacifier, finger, bottle, or breast).

Most of these I tried before reading this out of instinct (or desperation).  I'm checking out the DVD and the book from the library, so I'll be writing about that soon.  Hopefully though, I can just avoid the whole over-stimulation thing and look for signs that she is getting tired, and skip this whole frantic soothing thing next time.

That is a good book. I read it when Caleb was about Davie's age too. Swaying and swaddling were particularly helpful for us.

i like your mommy posts. I started reading Babywise, in the middle of the first chapter I put the book down and announced to Kevin that once Gabe comes I want to make sure that we're still husband and wife and not just mom and dad. He then said, "whatever your reading, you need to stop." but I haven't.

Davie should be getting excited. her betrothed will be here in t-minus 14 weeks.

Around the Shop #10: Stanley #55 Set Up Follow Up

  • Advertise with us
Blog entry by Mosquito posted 09-13-2015 07:17 PM 1401 reads 2 times favorited 4 comments Add to Favorites Watch
« Part 9: Winding Sticks Part 10 of Around the Shop series Part 11: M-W TCA Regional Tool Meet Feb 2016 »

I guess my definition of “Soon” is somewhat lax lol I had mentioned before (5 months ago, in this blog post I had taken some extra pictures and I would do a follow up on how I set up the various skates of the #55 to make the molding profile I had been testing out.

So this is the profile I had been using:

There are up to 3 skates on the #55 ( I used all 3 on this profile, but only two with the smaller version of it).

First is the skate that’s on the main casting. I set the iron depth in the #55 to be where you would expect a #45 to be, or any other plow plane.

Then there is the sliding skate. The sliding skate on the #55 is much like that of a #45 or #45. The big difference between the #55 and those, however, is that it can also be adjusted up or down, as well as in or out on the rods.

I start by setting the sliding skate to be close to the outside edge of the iron

After the horizontal position is set and locked in, I adjust the vertical height, and position it just below the edge of the iron (ideally the same distance as the main skate and iron)

And lastly, there is an additional skate that can be used in between the other two skates. It is also height adjustable, and gets set in a similar way. Unfortunately I don’t have many other detailed pictures of the actual setting up of the plane, just the skate positions.

And that’s it, off and running. For the two smaller profiles I did not use the 3rd (center) skate, only on the largest one.

My approach is to set the iron in the main skate, and then set the sliding skate to the lowest outside point on the iron (in this case, the very outside has a fillet after the bead). Then I pick another arbitrary spot in the middle of the iron for the center skate (it is limited in how close to the sliding skate it can get, since that’s what it’s attached to).

Hopefully someone finds this useful. Once I get the new shop finished, set up, and get things rolling again I can do some more combination plane related blogs. They’re probably my favorite planes to use (and probably why I have so many…)

Arbor/Trellis #1: Getting started

no previous part Part 1 of Arbor/Trellis series Part 2: Arbor/Trellis #2 »

Good day fellow LJ’ers. I’m starting off with a new honeydew project (#2/2147) to build a redwood arbor/trellis that my wife saw a picture of in one of her several home improvement mags. I sized it for our opening and drew up plans using Sketchup and plan to utilize pegged tenon and saddle joinery instead of the bolt & screw methods used on commercial products (see following pic).

I’m using portions of an old redwood water tank that I helped salvage several years ago grossing ~1500 bf of clear all heart planks approximately 2 1/2” x 7 1/2” x 18’ (ring count varies from 16-32 rpi). I run into areas of dry rot and foreign objects (nails, bullets, etc.) which leads to significant fall down in net recovery, but the usable portions are beautiful indeed. See folowing pic’s.

Progress will be slow as I need assistance in the shop handling large pieces through the saws and planer, but I will keep you posted.

Dark Star Orchestra to resurrect the Dead

Rob Barraco, Dark Star Orchestra keyboardist and vocalist, said there is a famous Grateful Dead line penned by Robert Hunter in the song “Scarlett Begonias” that goes: “Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” The upcoming Dark Star Orchestra performance in Wilmington, he said, just may be someone’s way of seeing the light.

Dark Star Orchestra will recreate a show from the vast Grateful Dead canon at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, Wednesday, Aug. 13.

“Our mission is to continue the Grateful Dead experience,” Barraco said during a July 29 phone interview. “We will take a specific show from the band’s 35-year history, use that set list from that show and play it in the style from that era with corresponding song arrangements because it all morphed over time.”

Dark Star Orchestra meticulously recaptures  the Grateful Dead’s sound and will even perform using the same instruments and stage setup as was used during the show they intend to recreate.

“After that,” Barraco said, “the whole thing is improvised because Grateful Dead music is all about improvisation.”

Dave Weissman, Dark Star Orchestra publicist, explained the Grateful Dead probably never played one of its songs the same twice.

“Each musician in Dark Star Orchestra is so talented to be able to improvise but also stay accurately faithful to the Grateful Dead’s music and what they were all about,” Weissman said during a July 29 phone interview.

Since 1997, Dark Star Orchestra has played more than 2,200 recreations worldwide, and once performed 250 shows in a single year. As a testament to its mission, the band has been joined on stage by every living member of the Grateful Dead — guitarist and lead vocalist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh, drummer Bill Kreutzmann, vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux and keyboardist Tom Constanten — and widely acclaimed jam band musicians Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman of Phish and Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule.

Concert night, the doors to Greenfield Lake Amphitheater will open at 4:20 p.m. and Dark Star Orchestra takes the stage at 5 p.m.

“It’s a four-hour-long show,” Weissman said. “They play for 90 minutes, and then the second set is close to two hours; but because you’re taken on a journey, the experience feels timeless.”

Barraco believes Dark Star Orchestra has experienced wide reception because Grateful Dead’s music continues to speak to people of all ages.

“I see people who are about 70 years old who are still coming out to the shows,” he said. “But I look in the audience and there are 15- and 16-year-olds out there and I think it is because anyone can gravitate toward this music. It sparks something in your head.”

Barraco said this show at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater is the perfect opportunity to experience what was the Grateful Dead journey.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.greenfieldlakeamphitheater.com

La Luna Cooks Gooseberry Patch Fall, Family, and Friends: A Beginning

So, I dumped the Amish cookbook. I just couldn't do it. But, with undampened enthusiasm for the idea of cooking all the way through a cookbook, I decided to choose another. My friend, Matteo, who lives in Italy and posts gorgeous photos of the food he is making, photos of which I am intensely jealous because I want to be able to create such beautiful photos, too (I suspect having the Italian countryside for a backdrop might help inspire me), gave his humble take: go out & buy the best ingredients you can and find recipes to go with them, rather than going about it the opposite way. My wife thinks he is right, with the added advice, "Buy whatever's on SALE." I love his idea, myself. The truth is, I am not so good at doing it that way. I lack the imagination. Not to mention that I love the idea of cooking through the whole dang thing. The problem has never been that I don't know how to figure out what to cook. I do just fine there. It's that I need a cookbook that won't make me groan at the thought of cooking 8 potato salad recipes, most with very little variation.

I decided that I would simply use my newest cookbook, purchased a little over a week ago and untried. It's the Gooseberry Patch Fall, Family, and Friends cookbook, a collection of harvest season recipes collected from folks around the country---but, presumably, tested prior to publication so I don't end up with 3 tbsp. lemon juice in my peanut butter pie or a recipe that stops after the making of the batter. I'm all excited about the project now and can actually picture myself not only eating the food I make, but really enjoying it!

I dipped my toes in the water on September 29th with a recipe that, it turned out, completely skewed me out. Ha! So much for brilliant new starts! It should have been delicious, a cinnamon-maple nog, warm milk, sweet syrup, & autumn spices for a bedtime treat. I made a mug for each of us and neither of us could drink it. The flavor was A-OK by me, but something about the heating of the milk and the addition of the ground spices (cinnamon & allspice) make the beverage kind of grainy and weird. My sweet wife simply didn't like the cinnamon flavor. I might try it again using only whole spices and see if that is better. For Jeannene, I will simply heat milk with a little vanilla and a little syrup.

I've been really busy in October, making preparations for a secret & huge project, serving as matron of honor for a friend's wedding, and visiting my mama in West Virginia, so I haven't been working through the cookbook. Once we return from New Orleans, though, expect to see me blogging my way through this project!

Crafting A THESIS Proclamation

Crafting A THESIS Proclamation

Just what is a Thesis Proclamation

A thesis impression is usually a shorter document, widely one particular phrase, that describes the most crucial plan or state of some essay, investigation newspaper, and many others. It should be backed and described in your written text with evidences and suggestions removed from the research. It guideline your reader into knowing the principal thought and featuring what your composing is going to be about. It will notify your viewer products your newspaper is centered on, and enable information the pass to your essay while the discussion targeted

The steps to making an efficient Thesis

  • Maintain proclamation to the level.

  • Under no circumstances use keyword phrases like Andldquo;the case for this essay isAndrdquo; or Andldquo;the purpose of this report isAndrdquo;. They certainly do not should be with your essay.

  • A formidable thesis will involve confirmation. You can’t just status it as a truth. You must support it with genuine encouraging facts that could get involved your customers and stimulate these to read more.

  • A productive thesis supplies your newspaper information and identifies what amount you want to produce. The system functions being an description of the are you planning to publish within the body lines. For this reason all sentences within your newspaper should certainly assistance, describe or dispute in your thesis.

If you would like your thesis being considered a thesis and not only just a ineffective phrase, work with a rather correct develop and particular key phrases. Use text and expressions which happens to be corporation and authoritative.

Case in point:

  • Andldquo;The contrasting environments and configurations within the two books emphasize how numerous Antoinette’s notion of residence is from Jane’s, consequently introducing a far more parallel good quality to your two books.Andrdquo;

  • Andldquo;Cricket in Southern Parts of asia concerning 1880-2005 enjoyed a politics purpose in not merely eliminating stress and prohibitions of caste individuals, but allowing for Pakistan and India to discharge some governmental stress using a spiritual element.Andrdquo;

Is the best proclamation as well general?

Design your subject matter to the size of your report. If you happen to crafting a 5 section essay, create your thesis incredibly distinct. When you are publishing a dissertation or even a fresh, your thesis will naturally be way a smaller amount distinct.

  • A thesis which is also vast: Chick Flick motion pictures detrimentally result romances.

  • Right here is a improved model: Quite a few mental experiments report that numerous viewings of Andldquo;Chick FlicksAndrdquo; adversely effects romances.

Is the impression far too particular?

You will need to build your issue as crystal clear and particular as you possibly can. Since you post your report, your thesis will get an increasing number of sophisticated. When you find yourself executed producing, you are able to return back and check more than your good results to ensure your case along with your thesis coincide. Ensure that you will find no conjunctions including Andldquo;and, but, orAndrdquo; or terms like Andldquo;by, nevertheless, considering that, consideringAndrdquo;. These text mean that your thesis is actually exact and it is advisable to reduce it with a one notion.

Is the issue straightforward?

Your thesis assertion, as mentioned previous, ought to be as distinct as it can be.

  • Keep away from complex vernacular or any phrases that your potential visitors can be unaware of.

  • Keep away from obscure and fragile adjectives including Andldquo;thrilling, exciting, troublesomeAndrdquo; and many more.

  • Will not use adverbs inside your thesis.

  • Will not use abstract basics or undefined nouns like Andldquo;ideals, community, civilization, individualsAndrdquo; and the like.

  • Don’t make an supposition the visitor realizes just what you are speaking of. Specify all of your terminology or small them right down to some thing cement in order to prevent misconceptions.

The following is a good example:

  • Within the Victorian culture females had been said to be Andldquo;Angel in your homeAndrdquo;.
  • This is a adjusted: The Victorian Community required mid-style women of all ages to imagine the positioning of the Andldquo;Angel in the homeAndrdquo; because they are unaggressive, powerless, absolute, lovely, and lovely.

Can be your location distinct?

A thesis affirmation need to do around condition your debate. It should also present your belief about the subject topic and assert a job that you really assist. Fail to just simply point out an over-all actuality. A thesis variations and evolves since you compose your newspaper, so recall to return and change once you are concluded composing.

  • Never just simply mention your subject matter or express a well known fact rather than a adequate case.
  • Keep clear of declaring common realities (by way of example: Andldquo;we have to preserve the whales!Andrdquo;)
  • You should not make aggressive and opinionated claims without informative aid.

Minor suggestion

You actually would like thesis document to be the greatest truly. To achieve this obstacle you compose many models of your thesis to check out the best choice.

Do the best

There is not any one method to thesis assertions. You simply will not look for a thesis proclamation power generator on-line that might develop a unique case that can not bore your reader. Continue revising your individual option and soon you get classic and intriguing boasts that you are currently energized to produce about.

At the time you look for a question, take into consideration different ways to resolution a Andldquo;what exactly?Andrdquo; thought. Keep in mind this producer will not are in existence should you prefer a substantial-superior issue. Illustrate to your visitor how come your unique issue definitely makes a difference. This will aid steer clear of records that appear like they has come from a design template complete-in-the-empty.

Web template

A highly-constructed thesis eliminates universal written text. In lieu, they utilize cement things, activated verbs, and informative findings. Get hold of the reader’s care along with your text! Be excited about everything you jot down. That way, you will find a prosperous document.

Removing BlackBerry Port From LWUIT

Dear LWUIT developers,

We have an important notice for you. As of May 3rd, we are removing the BlackBerry port and BlackBerry support code from LWUIT's main source trunk and binary file.

We tried hard to resolve third-party licensing issues related to the port, but after months without progress we decided to remove the BlackBerry port from the main trunk and relocate it in LWUIT's incubator source trunk.

Note: We will update you when the BlackBerry port is live.

Here are the details.

1. We are removing the directory Ports/RIM and its subfolders. The subfolder includes IO_RIM and UI_RIM, which contains the following files.

2. We are removing BlackBerry themes from the Resource Editor.

We acknowledge that this change impacts some of you who chose LWUIT because of its multi-platform support. We apologize for any such inconvenience.

Be assured that the Blackberry functionality will soon be available from its new home in the LWUIT incubator source trunk. Watch this blog for further notice.

I Suck At Photoshop

I was looking at the presentation from Eric Burke about the work square did with Android which resulted in a really nice UI. He tells about quite a few struggles they had with the Android API which seem to be pretty easy to get around in LWUIT.
Anyway, one of the nicest things they did was the screenshot on the right which features a leather texture with stitches as the UI for the application which is a really nice touch for a wallet application (assuming you aren't a vegan).
Anyway, that took me back a bit... How do you make a UI like that regardless of the platform that will look nice for all resolutions. I came up with the answer but because I suck at Photoshop I wasn't able to achieve anything remotely close to the image on the right... This just goes to show you how valuable professional design can be to a team.
The way to produce an image like that is start with a clean tileable leather texture such as this one which I got from here and scaled down:

I set this as the style of the Form UIID and made it TILE on both axis's.  Then I created a simple transparent gradient image, its so transparent you might not even see it but its very important to create the texturized depth to the image above:
I created a container and placed it above the form and gave it a style of Gradient, then I set this image as the scaled background (since this is an alpha mask scaling won't hurt the image quality much).
Last I created a stitch image by using a stitch brush tool I found on the internet and this is the stitch image I was able to make (I set the background to red since the image is barely visible otherwise):

I set the stitches as a 9-piece border which allowed them to grow nicely. However, due to the bad source material the end result doesn't look nearly as polished as the work the guys from square were able to achieve. I'm guessing they have a depression overlay with the stitch layer to create an additional effect and their images are obviously more refined. This is what I ended up with in the resource editor:

Using EmbeddedContainer

EmbeddedContainer is a class I added to LWUIT 1.5 without much fanfare out of a simple necessity, the problem is that this necessity existed only within the GUI builder and the class makes no sense outside of the context of the GUI builder. How do you document something like that???
The necessity came about due to Triplay's application designs (our original GUI builder beta site), their design was iPhone inspired and so it relied on tabs (iPhone style tabs at the bottom of the screen) where different features of the application are within a different tab.

This didn't mesh well with the LWUIT GUI builder navigation logic and so we needed to rethink some of it. I wanted to reuse GUI as much as possible while still enjoying the advantage of navigation being completely managed for me.
Android does this with Activities and the iPhone itself has a view controller, I don't like both approaches and think they both suck. The problem is that you have what is effectively two incompatible hierarchies to mix and match which is why Android needed to "invent" fragments and Apple can't mix view controllers within a single application.

The Component/Container hierarchy is powerful enough to represent such a UI but we needed a "marker" to indicate to the UIBuilder where a "root" component exists so navigation occurs only within the given "root". Here EmbeddedContainer comes into play, its a simple container that can only contain another GUI from the GUI builder. Nothing else. So we can place it in any form of UI and effectively have the UI change appropriately and navigation would default to "sensible values".

Navigation replaces the content of the embedded container, it finds the embedded container based on the component that broadcast the event. If you want to navigate manually just use the showContainer() method which accepts a component, you can give any component that is under the EmbeddedContainer you want to replace and LWUIT will be smart enough to replace only that component.

You can see an example of building a simple Tab based UI with the GUI builder and embedded container in the video above. The nice part about this is that this UI can be very easily refactored to provide a more traditional form based UI without duplicating effort and can be easily adapted to a more tablet oriented UI (with a side bar) again without much effort.

How LWUIT Is Different (better) From Swing

I've been meaning to write an introduction to LWUIT for Swing developers, for quite a while so this is it. We were highly inspired by Swing when writing LWUIT and that inspiration allows Swing developers instant familiarity into LWUIT thus providing them a very easy path into mobile development without the hassle.

The best way for a Swing developer to get into mobile is just to open a LWUIT based project and start working, its just that simple! At first the use of styles might seem slightly alien but you get used to it instantly and its ridiculously familiar.

There are quite a few differences between LWUIT and Swing which came thanks to the fact that we could learn and adapt from Swing. So LWUIT is in effect better than Swing mostly thanks to it being newer. Here is a list of highlight/bullet points for Swing developers wishing to take a look at LWUIT.

What's Similar:
  • Component/Container hierarchy with layout managers to arrange the elements. All the old friends are there with some additional added features (GridLayout, BorderLayout, BoxLayout, FlowLayout, GroupLayout) and some new (TableLayout, LayeredLayout). Naturally LWUIT doesn't feature the whole JComponent sub hierarchy and maintains a simpler hierarchy.
  • You can override paint and get a graphics object to do whatever you want. LWUIT is lightweight (just like Swing) and draws everything on its own to maximize portability and flexibility
  • You can add/remove action listener and similar observer based patterns for various events
  • Dialogs can be modal, so when you use or similar method the next line won't execute until the dialog is disposed. Like in Swing, this is entirely optional.
  • LWUIT has a glasspane, its a bit different from the Swing glasspane but very similar in functionality
  • List model and list cell renderer, pretty much like Swing's API with added functionality for animations and horizontal lists.
  • ContentPane for the body of the Form (LWUIT's root component) which is technically hidden
  • The LWUIT EDT requires that you interact with it over a single thread, it has a callSerially method (invokeLater), callSeriallyAndWait (invokeAndWait) and even an invokeAndBlock (foxtrot for the advanced swing users)

What's Different :
  • Optimized for phones/tablets both touch & feature phones. This includes support for gestures and complex key layouts
  • Styles & Themeing - the PLAF is much narrower in LWUIT (due to size constraints) but LWUIT makes up for it by having a Style object associated with every component. Furthermore, LWUIT allows customizing said styles with a theme that can be created visually using an open source resource editor tool!
  • Animations are integrated in the core of LWUIT in several levels. You can animate layouts, transitions and just arbitrary objects.
  • The resource file format is an integral part of LWUIT (although technically completely optional) it offers a GUI builders (optional but quite helpful), theme creator, localization etc. Unlike matisse it doesn't generate any code thus providing a more VB like experience where the UI and code are cleanly separated. The tool can be given to a designer with no coding experience
  • Painters - Swing tried to integrate painters after the fact and failed since the framework needs to be designed with them to begin with. We did just that. We also separated background painting from foreground painting and made it easier to override just background painting.
  • Deep and elaborate porting layer allowing LWUIT to be ported to any platform easily
  • LWUIT is truly open source - while Swing was technically open sourced, debugging/modifying Swing was not trivial since it was integrated into the JDK. This also prevented developers from incorporating fixes (or a known working version) into their build.
    LWUIT is bundled with the application so you can easily fix it and very easily modify code/debug to locate/fix issues. The development is easy to follow with a public viewable SVN. You can actually get commits from us as we fix issues and add features.

Places Demo Part V: Location Animation

Simple animations to provide a sense of place/navigation are what makes an application shine. They attract the attention of the user to the ongoing operation within the application while providing a sense of continuity, in that sense they are not "fluff" and should be taken very seriously.
One of the nicest things in the places demo is the animation on the map bellow which you should be able to see in the video above. When selecting a city within the demo we can see an animation of the map highlight moving to a new location. To do that we need to start with the map location image here (I set the text background to red to make the white image visible):

We can add this image by using the add multi-image dialog as such:

And now we need to go back to the GUI builder to place the image on the map, don't worry about the location we will get to that soon enough. I select the Map Label entry and change its name to Map (to make it easier to work with it in code), I also change the name of the List at the bottom to cityList.
Next drag a container into the same container where the Map is currently at and set its layout to layered layout. Make sure that the Map entry is before the Container entry which you just added (you can rearrange them in the tree). Drag the Map into that container and place another new container next to it. Drag a label into the new container and call it "MapHighlight", set its text to an empty string, set its UIID to container and select the mapPosition.png image as its icon. You should end up with something that looks like this:

Now its FINALLY time to start writing some code... Click the menu Application->Generate Netbeans Project. Type the name "LWUITPlaces" and select a directory into which the project should be generated.
Important: you do this only ONCE after that saving the file will automatically update the generated code for you. Also important: If you saved the file in the past the old location is no longer relevant! The resource file will now be within the src directory of the generated project and can't be moved from that location.

In the GUI select the Form and select the events tab in the properties on the right, click the "Before Show" button. This should open the file in Netbeans and create a method like this:
    protected void beforeMain(Form f) {
        // If the resource file changes the names of components this call will break notifying you that you should fix the code

Before we continue go to the top of the class and add the following variables and constants:
    private static final int MAP_ORIGINAL_WIDTH = 178;
    private static final int MAP_ORIGINAL_HEIGHT = 114;
    private int mapActualWidth;
    private int mapActualHeight;
    private static final int [][] MAP_POINTS =  {
        {10, 65},
        {0, 42},
        {77, 75},
        {146, 37},
        {107, 33}
    private int mapSelection = 0;

We will also need these methods to exist:
    private int mapXCoordinate(int c) {
        return (int)(((float)c) / ((float)MAP_ORIGINAL_WIDTH) * ((float)mapActualWidth));

    private int mapYCoordinate(int c) {
        return (int)(((float)c) / ((float)MAP_ORIGINAL_HEIGHT) * ((float)mapActualHeight));

Some of these things might seem obvious but others might not. When we animate to a particular list offset we need to know the pixel coordinate of the city within the Map. This worked great in Martin & Chen's demo since they used a regular image as the map. The problem is that a regular sized image would not work for lower/higher resolution devices which is why I used a multi-image.
Once I used a multi-image the resolution of the image (hence the coordinates) would change depending on the device, so all the old city coordinates from Martin will no longr work (these are the MAP_POINTS coordinates).

The trick is simple, I ask the size of the map image in runtime and store it within the mapActualWidth/Height variables. Then I calculate the position in map offsets using a simple ratio equasion in the mapXCoordinate/mapYCoordinate methods.

Back to the beforeMain method (under the super call) we will write the code to position the selection based on coordinates. With the comments within the body I hope the content of this method is clear enough:

Places Demo Part IV

Last time we left off with the UI partially implemented yet we left one of the hardest features still ahead: the annoying circular button.
To implement that button we will first select the top area container (the one with the MainList UIID) and set its layout to box layout Y. We will then drag a container (which will represent the first entry in the list) into that container, we will set the layout of that container to LayeredLayout!
We will then place two containers within the layered layout container and set both to BorderLayout. We will add a button to the center of the first (label it Attractions) and a label to the west of the second (give it a " " space label, important do not leave it blank make sure a space is there!).

One last thing I forgot the last time, update the padding of the MainList UIID to 10 on all sides to keep the entries at a healthy distance from the border.

You should end up with something like the image bellow:

What we did is create a layered layout which places one component on top of the other and we used two containers with their layout to position a label on top of a button pretty much like we would do for the actual layout of the button.

Now lets style this to actually look like the end result, change the UIID of the attractions button to ListEntry and open its unselected style. Use this image to create an image border (notice I placed the same image in my first post in this series but it had a small artifact on it so use this one!):

And define the image border as such:

After generating the image border select the Margin and define 5 Millimeters on the left side and 1 millimeter on every other side. Notice that using millimeters allows us to scale the padding/margin more appropriately to higher/lower resolutions.
Then select the padding tab and define 5 Millimeters on the left and 15 pixels on the other sides.
After pressing OK you should have something like this:

Now select the parent container of the button and set its style to PaddedContainer, set the padding to 10 pixels on the left 0 on the right 4 on top and 4 on bottom. In the derive tab select deriving from Container. This will ensure that the button will always be smaller than the label which is important for the base design.

Now add the following images as multi-images:

Using the "Add Multi-Images" add these 4 icons as such:

Open ListEntry's selected/pressed style and in the derive tab type "ListEntry" unselected to derive the same style.

Select the label for the first entry and set its UIID to AttractionsIcon, edit its style and set the background to image scaled and attractions.png image from above:

Set the padding of the style to 5 millimeters on all sides and the margin to 0 on all sides.

You should end up with this result:

Which is already pretty much what we are looking for. Now just right click on the attractionsContainer and copy it. Paste it to the parent container 4 times and update every entries icon/text to this end result:

Now just so you will understand why we did all of this, this is how the UI will look on the iPhone scale resolution (3GS = 320x480):

Here is what it will look like on a Nexus One device (480x800, larger font):

Notice that after blogger scaled down the images they look almost identical, but if you will click to zoom you will see they are sized very differently.

Lets proceed with the easy parts!
Select the main form and uncheck the scrollable Y property. Then select the Container with the MainList style and check its scrollable Y property. This will effectively make sure that horizontal scrolling doesn't hide the bottom section of the screen.

Now lets add the entries in the list, select "Add Multi-Images" and select the following images:

Use these values for the multi-image dialog:

Now select the UI section in the GUI builder and click the + button on the top left to add a new Blank Container. Call it CityRenderer.
Set its UIID to "Renderer" and edit the style, set its derive tab to derive from Container and set its margin left/right to 15 millimeters.

Set the layout of the container to border layout and place two labels one in the north which you should name "Icon" (notice this should be the name not the label text!) and another in the south which you should name "Name" (yep).
Set the UIID of the North label to Container and the UIID of the south label to WhiteLabel. Edit the style of white label, set its foreground color to white and make its transparency 0. Set its alignment to Center.

In the theme add a new Style in the selected tab called RendererFocus and set it to derive from Container.

You should end up with something like this:

Go back to the Main form in the UI builder and select the list of cities at the bottom, select the ListItems property and remove all the elements within it. Click add entry and add elements one by one starting with San Francisco (and the matching image from above) using the key Name for the city label and the key Icon for the image to this end result:

Follow this up and add all the cities from above to the list.
After pressing OK select the list and set the fixed selection to Center and uncheck the scroll visible flag.

Last but not least select the Main form and type "LWUIT Places" in the title attribute, then create a title style and use this image to generate the border:

Now use the border wizard as such:

And we are done! This is the final result:

The League of Women Voters of Metropolitan Columbus

From the President: Amy Pulles

Friday, May 31, 2013

(Excerpted from the President's State of the League speech at the Annual Meeting on June 3rd)

Thank you for joining us for the 2013 League of Women Voters of Metropolitan Columbus Annual Meeting. This concluding League year has been eventful, exciting, challenging, and just a beginning of the historical impact the Board hopes to have on the League of Women Voters in central Ohio.

Your Annual Meeting booklets contain detailed reports from many of our committees.  After you read them, I’m sure you’ll agree that our year has been eventful and exciting.  For example, the Communications Committee took our Facebook post views from a maximum of 179 last year to as many as 990 this year. What that means is that on at least one of our Facebook posts, 990 individual users read it. Our Facebook “likes” also grew by 35% throughout this past year. The Voter Service Committee sponsored a candidate’s night at Metro High School where nearly 100 students, 80 community members, and 23 candidates attended. The Civic Education and Engagement Committee sponsored multiple education forums and events on topics such as Understanding the Impact of the Federal “Fiscal Cliff” and civil discourse. The Development Committee selected John and Annie Glenn as our 2013 Democracy In Action award recipients.  The League honored the Glenn’s on May 14 where John Wolfe, Les Wexner, and Connie Schultz participated as our honorary cochairs. Finally, the Membership Committee recruited 18 new members to the League and they revised our membership brochure so we can be viewed as more relevant in today’s society. I encourage you to read the complete committee reports so you can see the full extent of everything our members have been working on over the past twelve months.

Our year was not without its challenges though.  We, of course, experienced the usual not enough volunteers and not enough time to get it all done. But, our new 4R focus invited its own challenges to the Board and its planning. We struggled with eliminating tasks, that prior to this year, had been considered common practice, such as taking a position on local ballot issues and whether or not to continue Unit Meetings.  We also struggled with (and still are) balancing our commitment to being perceived as the go-to organization for nonpartisan information while also honoring our history of taking positions on issues and advocating for them.

This was only our first year of implementing our 4R goals and we aren’t quite finished.  Over the next year we plan to focus on solidifying new common practices that honor our history of positions and advocacy while also being portrayed by central Ohio as the go-to nonpartisan organization, updating our financial policies and bylaws to support our new structure and procedures, and continue to recruit diverse new members and leaders to strengthen our committees and their abilities to get the League in place where we can successfully fulfill our 4R objectives.

Sewing of roses done! 40!

Here's what a pile of cut French Roses look like in case you were wondering. Tonight I sewed the last of the 40, or so I thought. When I laid them out on my bed one was missing. I was sure I counted correctly...but I cannot find the missing rose. So I created one from scraps for the fortieth one. Hopefully it won't stand out too much from the garden of others. Considering I started a bit before last Saturday (about six days to cut and sew these four layered flowers, I'm doing well.
At noontime today I went to the quilt shop to sign up for another class this Saturday in free style sewing/quilting. This so I can have an even better handle on my top quilting this rose quilt. I was surprised to learn that I was the only one in last Saturday's class who intended to top quilt their quilt themselves. The others all planned to pay someone to do this for them professionally. I was wondering if I was nuts or what, but I hope to be able to do it justice. As the woman sitting next to me in class said: "You'll be able to say you made the whole thing yourself!" YES!
And then on the 27th is another class (Andrea hear this) in Trapunto: a method of double stuffing your quilted motif to add extra dimension to your quilt. I am hoping this will be a lead in to the type of raised work you are doing. I want to make masks one day! Perhaps on quilts! I want to be an "Andrea textile artist" when I grow up!

  1. Hi Lynn I hear you:) and thanks for coming back to my masks and yes, you can keep the photos. Also, I wanted to tell you about Fiber&Stitch, an online magazine for textile art . The editor, Sue Bleiweiss publishes articles together with other textile artists with in-depth description of how to add texture to your textile work and things like that. You could get a lot of inspiration there and grab ideas which will help you to advance, just have a look!

  2. Another wow on your 40 roses. I do know how much work all this is. I just love the colors and the roses you are doing. Yes there is a satisfaction in doing something completely yourself. So no, you're not nuts to be doing it.
    and I can see by your drawings that you are capable of anything.

  3. Thanks Andrea for the direction to the magazine. I will go look next.
    And thanks for letting me have your mask photos. I swear I am dreaming masks. I keep thinking I can learn in the Trapunto class to make them instead of a wreath the class teaches. There I will be dancing to my own drummer.

    Yes, Cris, a lot of work but oh so pleasurable. The edges of the roses will fray when washed giving the quilt an aged look! Fun watching it grow, this new garden of mine. I appreciate your confidence in me. (..."can do anything." we'll see)

Thanks for leaving your comments as I love hearing from you. Your words of encouragement are why I continue to draw!

BOSENTAS - Used for: Treating high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary arterial hypertension).

BOSENTAS is an endothelin receptor antagonist. It works by blocking a certain substance in the lungs, which helps to decrease blood pressure in the lungs.

BOSENTAS prevents thickening of the blood vessels, especially those in the lungs and heart. BOSENTAS also lowers blood pressure in your lungs, helping your heart pump blood more efficiently.

BOSENTAS is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It improves your ability to exercise and prevents your condition from getting worse.

BOSENTAS may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Pharmacology: Antagonizes endothelin receptor by binding to endothelin A and endothelin B receptors in the endothelium and vascular smooth muscle.

Indication: Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (WHO group 1) to improve exercise ability and decrease the rate of clinical worsening.

Unlabeled Uses

Prevention of digital ulcers in systemic sclerosis; prevention of Raynaud phenomenon.

BOSENTAS belongs to a class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs). Patients with PAH have elevated levels of endothelin, a potent blood vessel constrictor, in their plasma and lung tissue. BOSENTAS blocks the binding of endothelin to its receptors, thereby negating endothelin's deleterious effects.

Active ingredients: bosentan

Running Back: the position that you need to get right

I have only been playing fantasy for two years now but I can honestly say that I am completely hooked! These past two seasons of fantasy have certainly changed the way that I am going to draft this year (and hopefully help me retain my title in the league with my friends).

The first season I played I lead the league for a large majority of the season but I eventually missed out on the playoffs due to injuries to my running backs. I had Adrian Peterson and Ryan Mathews and when they went down, there was no one else to take over. Therefore drafting for the second season I had to prepare for injuries to my running backs. Maybe I went a bit mad but I ended up drafting 6 running backs! I also plan to do the same again this year.

Despite the NFL evolving into more of a “passing” league I actually believe that it is the running back position that is the most important position to get right. This is because I feel that there are around 12 quarterbacks who I would comfortably start in fantasy and also running backs are much more likely to suffer from injuries. Also I feel that more far more “sleeper” wide receivers emerge during the season than running backs therefore drafting well at the running back position is crucial.

Ideally you want to have two running backs who are the unquestioned number 1 running backs for their teams and also that they play for teams that rely heavily on the run game for example the Vikings, Texans etc.

When all of the starting running backs have been selected, it is important to start picking “sleeper” running backs, who could eventually emerge as potential starters as the season goes on. You want to be looking at running backs who are behind injury prone/players coming off an injury on the depth chart. Also look at the rookie running backs too who can often find themselves in a starting role as the coaches begin to trust them more.

Get the drafting of your running backs right and you could be a huge step closer to securing your fantasy title!

happy wheels game

Teachers Holiday Gifts Part 1

I think I am really slow to catch up to what most people get excited about immediately. Michelle Wooderson has been making these little altered notepads for quite some time now. I thought they were cute but never had the desire to make any, even when PTI came out with their own stamp set to coordinate with this project.

So I scrounged through my stash yesterday. Surely I had something that I could use instead of buying the stamp set. I found a few things, but my completely neglected SU alphabet set was just crying to be used. So I pull out my stamp-a-ma-jig and was able to just barely fit "notes". I cased the sentiment from Michelle. I'm not 100% thrilled with what I made, but the alone (aka kid free) time was very therapeutic. So much so that I put in an order for the Take Note set today. Hee hee!

Inside I covered up that upper part where the notepad company name is. Love, peace, joy seemed fitting while writing holiday notes. :)

So now I have one down and 11 to go!!

Stamps: PTI Holiday Button Bits & Borders & Corners: Circles, SU Defining Alphabet
Ink: SU Old Olive, Ruby Red
Paper: SU Old Olive, Ruby Red, Chatterbox Patterned Paper, PTI White

Unique social network for Wigan primary school students

In Wigan, a primary school has recently launched a social network that is designed to protect the primary school children from the ill effects of social media and internet. A joint effort by a few junior schools, Britannia Bridge Primary School has launched the networking website, The Bridge that aids in teaching the young pupils methods of using the internet safely. It has been designed such that the social network is only accessible to the students and the teachers.

Considered to be groundbreaking, the new networking website shall be a model for other websites in the project. As per the teachers who have helped develop it, The Bridge shall form the basis of others that are in the design phase all cross the country.

As per Damon Donaldson, who is the head teacher at the primary school, Britannia Bridge the best aspect of the social network for students and teachers is that it is not just an idea but it is working and primary school students all across the country shall benefit from it. As it helps them learn how to safely use online communication instead of risking their personal safety online. Head of IT at the school, Maria Temel said that they had a lot of negative cases at school due to the children’s misuse of social media and as there was no means to help them learn safety online, we decided to build it.

If with Linux, the laptop function key (e.g. fn-f2 or fn-f5 is common)
should work, but if not, I have a desktop gnome launcher that runs,
 xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768
and that will work except for very old projectors that need 800x600.

It's always worth testing beforehand, though.

[tpm] Meeting April 29, 2010 - KinoSearch

Mike Stok mike at stok.ca
Thu Apr 22 16:47:26 PDT 2010

See http://to.pm.org.  I'll send out a note about the room when I know more.

Date: Thu 29 Apr 2010 18:45 EDT
Venue: Nexient
Topic: KinoSearch - Free Text Search
Stuart Watt: Free Text Search a la KinoSearch
KinoSearch is a Perl search engine library. Stuart will cover the basics of information retrieval technology, and the use of the module. The module is pretty easy to use when you get the hang of it.

Location: 2 Bloor Street West, (usually) 8th or 16th floor. The room number will be announced on the mailing list a few days before the meeting. It will also be left with the security desk in the building (main floor lobby) shortly before the meeting starts (i.e. around 6pm).

Time: 6:45 p.m.

Directions: This building is on the north-west corner of Bloor and Yonge, accessible by subway from Bloor station. Pay parking is also ample in this area.

Security note: The elevators in the building are "locked down" after 5:30pm to people without building access cards. Leading up to the meeting someone will come down to the main floor lobby every few minutes to ferry people upstairs. There will be a number of scheduled trips:

After 19:00, you can reach the access-card-carrying guy via a cell phone number that we'll leave with security in the front lobby. The room and floor numbers will be left with security too.

If any latecomers call up there will be a final group elevator run at 19:10. After that, access will be ad-hoc; call up from security and somebody will try to come down and let you up.

Proposal Would Prevent South Portland From Enforcing Federal Immigration Law

Apr 13, 2017

South Portland is considering a proposal that seeks to clarify what the city’s responsibility is regarding immigration.

The amendment, proposed by District 3 councilman Eben Rose, would be applied to an anti-hate resolution passed by the council in February.

Rose is shying away from the term “sanctuary city,” and that language appears nowhere in the amended resolution. Rather, he says the amendment’s purpose is simple. A municipality, he says, should not have to take on the job of the federal government.

“Why would any city be expected by the federal government to use local taxpayer-funded resources to enforce federal immigration law? We’ve never enforced federal immigration law,” he says.

Rose says his amendment will reinforce the line between the kinds of issues a local police department deals with, such as crimes committed, and the kinds of issues that immigration officials deal with, such as simple passport status.

Some opponents fear such a move could jeopardize funding and put the city in conflict with the federal government.

The proposal is up for a public hearing on April 24.
