Eric Holder: State AGs not obligated to defend laws they disagree with as long as it's one banning gay marriage
**Written by Doug Powers
First, let's all warm up by reciting the Obama Justice Department's credo:
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told the New York Times that state attorneys general should feel free to claim conscientious objector status from defending laws they don't agree with. That is, provided the law is one that bans gay marriage in his or her state:
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said Monday that state attorneys general who believe that laws in their states banning same-sex marriage are discriminatory are not obligated to defend them.
Mr. Holder was careful not to encourage his state counterparts to disavow their own laws, but his position, which he described in an interview with The New York Times, injects the Obama administration into the debate over gay marriage playing out in court cases in many states.
Six state attorneys general – all Democrats – have refused to defend bans on same-sex marriage, prompting criticism from Republicans who say they have a duty to defend their state laws, not just the ones they agree with.
Is anybody else bothered that the U.S. attorney general is singling out which laws state attorneys general should feel free to pick and choose to defend?
It is highly unusual for the United States attorney general to advise his state counterparts on how and when to refuse to defend state laws. But Mr. Holder said when laws touch on core constitutional issues like equal protection, an attorney general should apply the highest level of scrutiny before reaching a decision on whether to defend it. He said the decision should never be political or based on policy objections.
Cue audience reaction:

Flash Floods Hit Sullivan County
Flash floods raced through Livingston Manor on Tuesday washing out bridges and roads.
The downtown area was under several inches of water with reports saying the community got some six inches of rain in a two hour period. The Cattail Creek overflowed its banks sending floodwaters into residential and business areas.
County Manager David Fanslau said county roads 149, 179, 96, 123, 19, 81 and 82 in the towns of Rockland, Callicoon and Neversink were closed Tuesday night, but were open and passable to school buses Wednesday morning.
In Ulster County, a state of emergency was declared in the Town of Shandaken because of flooding in Phoenicia and Oliverea. Several roads were closed in that area.
In the Columbia County community of Taghkanic, strong winds brought down trees and power lines late in the day.
There were also reported power outages in areas of the region.

everytime i play with friends im the dead weight and cant play with any champ besides brand and everyone is good with brand i bought mordekeiser and suck with him because i have no idea how to be him i tried with bots did good though. i just need tips or coaching on how to be good in this game and champs i should save up for
I could try and help although I'm not an amazing player. I know the basics of the game and how most champions play.
Spend some time in the forums reading up(You're already on the right track!)
Also look at a bunch of different guides for different characters. I personally prefer SoloMid.com because they have a more rigorous process to get a guide published.
Just reading the strategies for different characters, weather you use them or not, is very helpful. Also, try and play all the free characters you can - at least once. Knowing your enemy is key.
Lastly, but probably most importantly... Please learn grammar. No one likes trying to read your horribly written sentences. This will lead to raging and an automatic assumption you're bad.
if u like ranged ad carries, u should definitely look into graves, ashe and vayne. graves because he can go tanky while still being ad carry (at least that's what my friend told me) whereas ashe and vayne can become hypercarries if u get the rite items and play them well.
if u like melee, riven and shen are definitely good (i havent played enuf of them) garen tends to be quite good too early game.
if u like ap, play morgana. she's banned alot if u play ranked or drafted, but she is definitely op in any lane if u just build her ap.
btw idk if u know or not, runes help too. so get tons of them depending on who u want to play
Add me,Savackz. I can help with the champions I know.
Quick Rawr
The best thing that I feel you can do is play with a variety of champions so that you get use to the mechanics of the game. I would recommend buying several different champions that can be played in every role, probably cheaper ones so that you can learn the different roles and mechanics of the game without lots of invested IP on champions that you come to dislike/do poorly with (mordekaiser).
Recommended champions:
Nunu: Support/Jungle
Annie: AP Carry
Master Yi: Top/Jungle
Ashe: AD Carry
Ryze: AP Carry
Soraka: Support
Alistar: Support/Jungle
Tristana: AD Carry
Cho'Gath: Top/Jungle/AP Carry/Supprt
Getting these 9 champions will allow you to have several different champions for each role, cost essentially the same amount of IP as one 6300 champ (6750), and gives you variety in every role. Gives you AD champs, AP, Tanky, Glass cannon, utility, everything.
As you get use to the different roles and the different animations/abilities of each of the champs then you will overall improve at the game. What I did when I first started playing was I would buy a champion and then just play them until I've earned enough IP for the next champ and repeat. I got use to various roles, various champs and now I can play any position decently and I've learned which champs I favoured, I learned how to play a few that I'm not really keen on, but can play, and I've gotten great at last hitting, timing, when to initiate, and all around improved.
It's gonna make for some frustrating games, but do your best and in the end it'll pay off.
After you get decent with some, you may find certain roles that you prefer to others, or do better in, and start focusing on buying champs for that roles moreso than others if so inclined. I personally found top and jungle fun so I buy champs geared moreso towards that, but I still buy champs for other roles (just bought Blitzcrank for support, LOVE HIM). Best of luck bro, happy to play a game or two with you and see what's up if you'd like (:
Edit: I'd agree with the above, play each free champions at least once. I think playing each champion at least once at some point is very important, even if it is just a bot game.
Well of course you are going to feel like dead weight then the you play with someone who is lv 23 and someone else who is lv 30. I think the problem here is you lack experience. Play solo queue more if you don't want to feel like dead weight and you will eventually get better at the game.
If you like brand, I would suggest that you try ahri.

India is the second largest producer of rice after China, and takes credit to over 90 million tons of production in the world. There are over 4000 varieties of indian rice being grown every year including the fabled Indian basmati rice, which is used to make an array of delectable dishes including briyani. Long grain basmati rice grown in India is well acclaimed for its fragrance and delicate flavour that imparts a distinct flavour to the dishes. It is primarily grown in the Punjab region and is exported to many world markets. The cooked grains of Basmati rice stay apart and do not stick together unlike many other rice varieties and this is what makes it ideal for many of the exceptional rice dishes of the sub continent. A basmati grain is shaped like a sword and after cooking the grains elongate to twice its original size. The rich aroma and appearance of Basamati rice makes it a favourite among gourmets. Basmati is pricey as the output is low compared to other varieties of rice and could not be afforded by ordinary people in the lower income market. There are over 15 varieties of Basmati Rice in India and all of which are well sought after to prepare many exotic dishes. It is rich in folate, iron, niacin and thiamin and offers wholesome nutrition. Basmati Rice is non-glutinous rice and has been cultivated in India for centuries along the foothills of Himalayas and the Yamuna and Ganga plain paddy fields. The word, Basmati in Hindi literally translates into 鈥榪 ueen of scents 鈥? Touted as one of the best rice varieties in the world it is a hot favourite in Arab countries. Basmati rice should be cooked in lots of water in slow fire to make sure that it is cooked in the right consistency and is ideal for making fried rice and biriyani, while it is not preferred to make puddings and porridge. Apart from the traditional rice varieties like sella basmati rice, pusa basmati rice and kasturi basmati rice, there are many hybrid varieties too. To gather more information on Basmati rice, all you need to do is to check out the B2B market places, which bring together the suppliers of this exotic rice variety. Rup International engaged in exporting and supplying of Indian Rice, Indian Basmati Rice, Basmati Rice and Long Grain Basmati Rice. Visit Us : http://www.rajmahalrice.com/

Many people have fond memories of
this hotel. Please
contact us if you have
any stories or info to share.
What luck when we received an email from Tim Bailey, a former busboy and waiter at the Ambassador Hotel. Tim told us that his mother, Mary Ann Stewart, worked at the hotel for decades, and when it closed the manager allowed her to save two large scrapbooks and hundreds of photos of this storied establishment. Tim had donated these materials to the Historical Society, and for that we are eternally grateful! We are posting some of the many photos here, but there are many more available at our office.
The Ambassador Resort Motor Hotel
was located on 4.5 acres at 5225 Wayzata Blvd., at the
southwest corner of Highways 100 and 12. It opened in
April, 1961.
The hotel was designed and built by brothers Oscar J. and Joseph Husby. John Thompson, who also owned Diamond Jim's, was listed as an owner in early press accounts, but his involvement was apparently very short-lived. The Husbys were involved with the hotel management, and oversaw the facilities daily.
The hotel's first General Manager was Gilbert F. Swenberger, the former manager of the Brainerd Theater and/or the General Manager of Berger Amusement Co. for 23 years and/or the manager of Sheik's Cafe. Swenberger was a Park resident, living at 1430 Louisiana Ave. Swenberger resigned and was replaced by Raymond P. Bennett on May 7, 1962. Bennett was a director of the American Motor Hotel Association.
The Assistant Manager was Mrs. Adeline Lindboe, former manager of the Biltmore Hotel for five years.
Everything in the hotel was custom designed, decorated and furnished by Boutell's Furniture Co. A Miss Sandre from Boutell's was interviewed with Mrs. Lindboe on Arle Haeberle's "What's New" program on WCCO-TV on March 28. Even the carpets were written up in Floor Covering Weekly Magazine. A restaurant review indicated that eight blazing torches adorned the front lawn, creating an exotic excitement.
Tim Bailey tells us that the "A" at the top of the Ambassador sign was supposed to spin, but never quite worked properly. Below is a later view of the sign and an early view of the lobby.
Before the hotel was even finished, a couple of newlyweds became the first guests when they couldn't find an empty room in any other Minneapolis hotel. WTCN-TV reported that the hotel quickly finished the bridal suite for them so they could stay there on March 25.
The Distinguished Service Award and Bosses' Night dinner, held by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, was presumably held on April 3; there is an article announcing the event in the Ambassador's scrapbook. The speaker was Congressman Clark MacGregor.
Thursday, April 6, 1961: Husby flew in Iona Pinto, Miss India 1959, direct from Bombay. She arrived at the hotel by helicopter at 4:15 pm and was met by St. Louis Park Mayor Kenneth Wolfe and Miss St. Louis Park Gail Nelson. The dramatic arrival was featured on the newscasts of all three TV stations. Miss Pinto, age 19, was interviewed on several local TV shows in anticipation of the big opening.
Mayor and Mrs. Ken Wolfe greeting Miss India
Friday, April 7: Miss India appeared on the "Good Morning, Minnesota" show on WTCN-TV, "Treasure Chest" on KSTP-TV, and "The Roger Erickson Show" on WCCO-Radio. On "Treasure Chest" host Jim Hutton tried to greet her in her own language but it was the wrong dialect so she didn't understand. At night she hosted a dinner for business leaders and local mayors at the hotel.
Saturday, April 8: Luncheon for 90 U of M students from India, Pakistan, and Kashmir and their professors, with lamb curry cooked by student Asad Hussain. Miss India was also a guest aboard a houseboat on Lake Minnetonka, hosted by Sheldon Brooks, and visited the Minnetonka Boat Fair.
Sunday, April 9: Miss India and Gil Swenberger appeared on the "Business and Finance Show" on WCCO-TV, with Swenberger narrating a film showing off the hotel. "Also included was a filmed interview with owner John Thompson who explained the history of the Ambassador." An Open House for the community was attended by an estimated 21,000 people – reported to be the second largest crowd in St. Louis Park (the first being the PGA Tournament in 1959). Attending were an array of local royalty, some wearing saris for the occasion:
· Miss Minneapolis
· Miss Minnesota, Jean Elvrum from Faribault
· Queen of the Lakes, Judy Mellem
· Queen of the Snows, Mary Ann Schwab
· Miss St. Louis Park, Gail Nelson
· Princess Kay of the Milky Way, Marilyn Christianson
There were originally 85 guest rooms, decorated in four color combinations. The suites were decorated in Colonial, French Provincial, or Chinese motifs. The regular rooms were all Italian Provincial. The "fabulously exotic" rooms were advertised as having TV, radio, heat-air conditioning control, ceramic bath, direct-dial telephone, theater-type dressing rooms, double beds, lounge chairs and Muzak.
Here's the only photo we found of what is presumably an original guest room.
This high-class restaurant had an Indian-themed décor, with the waitresses wearing short, see-through outfits sewn by Oscar Husby's daughter. The original chef was Wally Wiotte from the Hotel St. Paul, replaced in November 1961 by French-born M. Marcel Lagneau. The 92-seat restaurant apparently did not serve Indian food. There was a dance floor in the Kashmiri Room and a frequent performer was the Percy Hughes Trio.
The Kashmiri Room, where the table was elegant, the service outstanding, the food plentiful, and the goblets purple.
Entrance to the Kasmiri Room, @ 1989
The Camino (first Room, then Grill) Coffee Shop had a Mexican décor, although there is no indication that Mexican food was served there. An early menu features lobster tails and steak. (An early restaurant review said that the same menu was served at the Kashmiri Lounge and the Camino Room.) Décor included "golden plaques, representative of the figures of the Zodiac, tell[ing] the seasons of the year." The carpet had gold medallions on a brown field, custom-made by Mohawk. The restaurant seated 105 and was open 24 hours. There was a diamond-shaped, glassed-in fireplace and panels of stained glass windows. Francis Hoover worked at the coffee shop for all 30 years, serving the regulars who worked along the Highway 12 and 100 corridors. Frequent customers were the employees at Westside VW and Sedgewick's, and some famous visitors were Rod Carew, Bull Bullinski, and Andre the Giant.
This elegant lounge featured a mural of a "parade of caparisoned [brightly colored] elephants, dancers and musicians. It had a round bar with a revolving pagoda in the middle depicting "maharajas majestically mounted on elephants, riding triumphantly through the streets followed by adoring subjects.
Photo found in the scrapbook of an early waitress outfit.
This room, with a capacity of 60, originally had plush paisley carpet made by Bigelow carpets with a pattern copied from a paisley shawl. It also had a paisley-shaped piano. "Suspended and revolving lanterns cast their kaleidoscopic shadows on floor and bar to simulate flying fishes darting playfully." Singer Marilyn Sellars was a frequent performer at the Piano Bar. This room was eventually renamed Manders.
The "Hall of Kings" Convention Room originally seated 450 people, later expanded to hold 500.
Early names for the Banquet Rooms were:
· Albert I
· Boreas II
· Charles III
· Diplomat Rooms A & B
The hotel was built in stages. Original plans called for 200 guest rooms and six stories; 199 rooms were eventually built, but none of the buildings topped two stories.
The photo above isn't the best but it shows an early rendering of what the owners hoped it would become. There was a scale model made that was shown on several TV programs.
1. At first the hotel had an outdoor, cloverleaf-shaped heated pool, with a waterfall and a wading pool. Two stories of rooms were configured on two sides. There were originally 85 guest rooms. The lobby and dining rooms were in a separate building in front.
2. In February 1962 the other two sides were built, making the hotel into a square and increasing the number of rooms to 171. The meeting and banquet facilities were expanded to accommodate 500 people.
4. Finally, a second story was added to the front building, which contained the offices and restaurants and the lower-level conference center, bringing the total number of guest rooms to 199. Tony Hill: "There were a number of guest rooms up there which weren't as nice as those in the main building, and it was inconvenient to walk from there to the pool. (There was a fully enclosed skyway between the two buildings which must have been added later.) Two of the rooms in the front building had Murphy beds. We stayed in one of those rooms when I was but a wee tot, and my mother had to watch me closely to make sure I didn't cause trouble with the bed."
In this 1968 photo the second story of the front building is evident. Is that the Honeywell plant in the back? Park National Bank in front.
The hotel was famous for its various amusements. In fact, a piece of stationery had a montage of bikini-clad beauties demonstrating various fun things to do, including:
· Shuffleboard
· Putting green
· Ping pong
· Sauna
· Heat lamps
The photos above of bathing beauties having fun ended up among several others that were actually on the back of the Ambassador's stationery!

In February 1962, Charles Peterson, owner of Town Taxi, began a limo service to the airport, the first in the suburbs. Stops were the Ambassador, the Holiday in Golden Valley, and the Minikahda Inn at France and Excelsior Blvd. (later known as the Ambassador East). The company used two 9-passenger station wagons for his nine runs each day, charging $2 instead of the $5.50 cab rides usually cost. In addition, local residents could park at the Ambassador and use the service.
Photo courtesy Rick Peterson, whose father Charles owned Town Taxi.
The hotel was marketed as "Minnesota's Island in the Sun where we control the weather," and offered weekend packages.
In an article dated February 22, 1980, in the Minneapolis Star, Joanna Connors describes her experience on one of these getaway weekends at the Ambassador with her husband Chris. Her review starts, "This is my vision of hell." Several hilarious comments follow; some excerpts are:
In 1984 the hotel was purchased by David Otto, who "let it go to hell," according to longtime waitress Fran Hoover.
In July 1989, Tony Bakhtiari and Hud Rassouli took over the food and liquor business.
By 1990 it was owned by a group called 5225 Partnership that had defaulted on the bank loan. Norwest Bank then became the owner.
The hotel checked out its last guest on March 25, 1991. The restaurant closed on March 30. Kahler blamed road construction and the two-year delay between the closing of the Minneapolis Auditorium and the opening of the Convention Center. He also blamed the media for routing traffic around the area. At closing the hotel had 55 employees and the food and liquor business had 70 full and part time employees.
The bank sold the tract to MEPC in 1991 and the hotel was demolished.
Chili's and Olive Garden Restaurants were built on the site.

Does a almond tree need as much watering as a pecan tree ?
It depends on what kind of soil you have, and how old the tree is.
My soil is very bad, I am on the path to getting it balanced.
My holes where dug deep to break up the soil, and my trees came in a 24" box, so a few years old.
I had read that the Pecans take a lot of water

Polymer dielectric films, ranging in thickness from less than 100 A to several microns, have become increasingly useful for basic investigations of surface phenomena and thin film electrical conductivity and for thin film electronic device and circuit development. The preparation and characterizing properties of thin polymer films are discussed with particular emphasis on recent developments in such areas as ultraviolet surface photolysis, electron bombardment, gaseous electrical discharge, and special chemical processes. Previously unpublished data on certain aspects of polymer dielectric films are presented, and present and potential applications are briefly reviewed.

FCW Forum | Workforce
Despite the stereotype of older federal employees as behind the times, recalcitrant and – perhaps most importantly – ready to retire, age and experience still count for a lot.
Think of Stump, the Sussex Spaniel who recently won Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. Stump is 10 years old, not exactly youthful for a dog. But you could see his confidence and his calm and steady gait. He had been champion five years ago and came out of retirement to do it again. It didn't hurt that he had a good manager and good grooming.
At a time when the population is aging, Stump gives us an example of what an old dog can do. The example is particularly pertinent to government, where the average age of the workforce is approaching 50. Agencies have been recruiting heavily in anticipation of a coming flood of retirement announcements, but the current economy might be altering expectations.
Many federal employees with 30 or more years of service are planning to stay in their government jobs awhile longer. The prospect of an uncertain economy and rising unemployment in the private sector makes staying in a federal job a more attractive choice.
Perhaps a floppy-eared dog named Stump can make us think again about the value in having the strengths and talents of workers who have years of experience. One of those strengths is institutional memory. That doesn't mean dredging up old tired ways of the past. Rather, it means ensuring that any new methods are enhanced with some knowledge of pitfalls, based in part on understanding what has come before. There is also something to be said for knowing where all the bodies are buried, as the old saying goes.
Many articles tell us that the baby boom generation sets high standards and works hard to reach them. Boomers aim for quality. They also enjoy face-to-face communication, albeit in more formal, top-down ways than younger workers may like. Still, they know how to give feedback.
Boomers also gain from learning in more formal settings, such as classrooms. Today, younger workers, known as millennials, learn from resources on the Internet, such as wikis and blogs. But take a note from Stump and consider that you can teach an old dog new tricks. Baby boomers are blogging and millennials are getting mentoring and coaching much like in a classroom. Today, all generations are starting to find the benefits of change.
Although styles of generations might differ, fewer clashes are happening at work. Boomers are finding that while some millennials can present challenges, they bring important benefits, not the least of which is an ability to navigate change. What Stump shows us is that an older dog has a steady sense of purpose, and that, even in a new ring, experience does count.

Stump didn't learn any new tricks because the show is the same as it was five years ago. The government can't operate that way. This is not to say that the old dogs can't do new tricks. It means that us older govees must be willing to change and work to make the change successful using our experience to help, not hinder. Prancing around, obeying orders, and looking good isn't enough.
I agree 100%! We old-dogs can still lead the pack. You brought up one particular sore point with me, Wiki. It's a good source of information, as long as you don't use it for anything important! I always get these young Turks putting information that they have pulled from Wiki in official documents. Not surprisingly a lot of it is pure garbage, written by individuals who really do not have a clue as to what they are talking about. You can also see spelling, punctuation, and general writing errors in Wiki documents indicative of the education level of the writer. It's a kind of Ebonics of erroneous information for the web.

The present invention, generally, relates to a projected-image visual system as used in a simulator and, more particularly, relates to a digital distortion-correcting circuit for projecting a flat image on a curved screen in such a visual system.
Visual scenes that are viewed in the real world are simulated by projecting images from a video source onto a screen.
For large fields of view (FOV's), generally the screen surface is curved with the projection optics projecting over a wide angle.
The video output, which usually consists of a database transformed onto a flat image plane, must be processed by a suitable electronic system before it is projected onto a curved screen surface.
It is this processing function that is required of the electronic system that the present invention is concerned. This processing function is termed "mapping" in the art.
"Mapping" is defined as changing the output video elements from the image source such that the inherent time relationships of the elements is not equivalent to the resultant spatial relationships on the projector plane.
"Mapping" is required in the electronic system for three basic reasons, including (1) nominal design, (2) manufacturing tolerances, and (3) drifts. There are elements of a nominal system which require "mapping". The digital image source compensates for the fact that both the projection and the viewing point are not at the same center.
However, the image source can only produce "mapping" which is suitable for projection on a flat screen by a special-purpose projector. In addition to the mapping requirement identified above, the special-purpose projector has some sweep non-linearity inherent in its nominal design that requires some "mapping" correction.
Several elements of the visual system are subject to manufacturing tolerances to a sufficient degree that an alignable "mapping" corrector must be utilized to reduce distortion to acceptable levels. Examples of these include projector sweep non-linearities, wide-angle lens system geometric distortion, and spherical screen radius.
The "mapping" that is required in the environment described above is provided by the distortion-correcting circuit of the present invention.
Accordingly, it is an important object of the present invention to provide a distortion-correcting circuit that will effectively correct a flat image that is projected onto a curved screen without introducing distortion.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a circuit that is effective in a digital environment.
It is another object of the invention to provide such a circuit that is effective in any image source for providing a perspectively correct image on a curved screen.
Broadly, a digital video mapping circuit constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention provides a first means to store video data. The circuit of the invention has also a second means to store random addresses to obtain from the first means selected video data in a predetermined order, and a third means to combine the selected video data to form the mapped image, so that a pre-distorted image is projected onto the curved screen in such a manner that it will appear correct to a viewer in the operator's position of the simulator.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which like numerals identify like parts in the various figures:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a digital distortion-correcting circuit that is constructed and arranged in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the details, interconnections, and arrangement of respective component parts to make up the invention shown more broadly in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing one of the component parts that make up the plurality shown in FIG. 2.
In a simulator visual system where images are projected over substantial distances onto a large curved screen, such as a dome, there are several reasons why distortion appears to exist. One of these reasons is that the operator is viewing the image from a different position from that which the image is projected. Another is that an image constructed to be projected onto a flat screen 12b will appear distorted when projected onto a curved screen 12g. An example of this is a straight line which will appear as a straight line on a flat surface, but will appear curved when projected on a curved screen.
A circuit that is constructed and arranged in accordance with the principles of the present invention contemplates predistorting the image so that when it is projected onto a curved screen, it will appear visually correct and undistorted. The circuit of the present invention offers a new and improved way of accomplishing the predistorting function.
Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawings, an image generator 10 can be any suitable source of video data, such as a computer image generator, a video camera or a graphics generator (for providing a suitable test pattern). The digital data provided by the image generator normally would be converted to analog form by a digital-to-analog converter 11. The analog signal, then, is used to drive a 1,000 lumen light-valve projector, such as, for example, G. E. P/N 5155. Such a light-valve video projector is identified in FIG. 1 of the drawings by the numeral 12.
This same digital visual image generated by the source can now, with the circuit of the present invention, be projected onto a screen that is curved. Before proceeding with a detailed description of the operation of the circuit in accordance with the invention, a broad, general explanation will be presented.
The visual image in digital form as generated by the generator 10 is connected directly over a line 13 to a memory buffer 14 where it is stored sequentially. A separate line 15 is used to connect a series of clock pulses to the memory buffer 14 to maintain the same clock rate.
While the visual image data is stored in the memory buffer 14 sequentially, it is read out at random under the control of a correction function generator 16, as will be explained in more detail in connection with FIG. 2 presently. This control from the correction function generator 16 of the visual image data stored in the memory buffer 14 is in the form of address control signals over a bus 17.
The randomly selected video data from the memory buffer 14 is connected directly over a line 18 to a data processor circuit 19. As the selected video data proceeds through the data processor circuit 19, the illumination factor for each pixel receives a supplemental weighting coefficient applied to it over a bus 20 from the correction function generator circuit 16.
The output from the data processor circuit 19 is connected directly over a line 21 to the digital-to-analog converter circuit 11, the analog signal output of which is connected over a line 22 to the light-valve video projector 12. The operation of the correction function generator circuit 16 is maintained in timed relationship with the projected image by means of a connection 23 for a clock reference signal from the light-valve video projector 12.
In FIG. 2 of the drawings, a line addresses circuit 24, an element addresses circuit 25 and the two coefficients circuits 26A and 26B are indicated, by the broken line 27, as being all of the correction function generator 16, in FIG. 1. The memory buffer circuit 14, in FIG. 1, is indicated in FIG. 2 as being a plurality of individual Random Access Memory units (RAM). The data processor 19, in FIG. 1, is shown in FIG. 2 as including a plurality of individual multiplier units and a plurality of adder units with two input connections 18 and 20 and with a single output connection 21.
One of the Random Access Memory circuits within the memory buffer 14 is identified by the reference numeral 28 as having two output lines identified by the reference numerals 29 and 30, respectively. The output line 29 is connected by the bus 18 to a multiplier circuit 31 within the data processor 19, and the output line 30 is connected, also by the bus 18, to a second multiplier circuit 32 within the data processor 19.
Each of the two multiplier circuits 31 and 32 have respective output lines 33 and 34 connected as the two input lines to an "adder" circuit, identified in FIG. 2 by the reference numeral 35. The "adder" circuit 35 in FIG. 2 has a single output line 36.
Reference is made now to FIG. 3 of the drawings for the purpose of explaining, in still further detail, the circuit shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, the Random Access Memory circuit (or "RAM"), identified also be the reference numeral 28, is shown with a plurality of input lines. The line with the legend "CL(OUT)" is for controlling the data rate out that is randomly selected by the correction function generator 16 over the bus 17 as explained previously.
The input line with the legend "CL(IN)" is a connection for receiving a clock rate for controlling the data input as it is stored sequentially. The two lines with the legends "CNTR (EL)" and "CNTR (LN)", respectively, indicate the Element Counter signals and the Line Counter signals for the data stored sequentially in the RAM 28. The two lines in with the legends "AO (EL)" and "AO (LN)", respectively, identify the "Element Address" signal input and the "Line Address" signal input, also respectively.
There are six timing lines that control the Random Access Memory circuit 28, and these are identified with the legends "MNE/MNO, which identify the Memory No. Even/Odd lines. The single line with the legend "WP" is for the Write Pulse signal, and there are three lines with the legends "MNR/WC" which identify the Memory No. Read/NOT-Write control lines.
The various legends indicated within the Random Access Memory circuit 28, in FIG. 3, are for the purpose of identifying one suitable address method for storing data in the memory 28. Of course, other suitable address legends may be adopted, if desired.
Since the light valve video projector 12, FIG. 1, is capable of completing a frame of projected information in one-thirtieth of a second only, and since the operating speed limitations of the respective components shown in the circuit of FIG. 2 is only one-sixtieth of a second, two circuits of the type shown in FIG. 2 are connected to operate in parallel, one for each of two fields per one frame of projected image. Of course, as technology advances and components with faster operating speeds become available, perhaps it will be possible to utilize only a single one of the circuit arrangements of FIG. 12.
While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described in detail, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and changes may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the claims.
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined in the claims appended hereinafter.

I'm fairly new at this, but until now both the rooting of the phone, and installing this rom has gone without any clitches.
But after finishing the install of this rom, then the phone jyst stops at the htc logo on the start up screen.
Anyone got any ideas??
