Hi Sergio,
Thanks again for all the time and help in the last years, so much appreciated. This model is still perfect through the years, even better with your updates. So thank you!
I have a question about the mobile version. Is it possible to change the color of the navigation icon (3 white lines, top right corner)? When I'm on Android mobile, I can't see the icon because it's white, like the background. It becomes a little complicated to navigate in the menus because of that. Here is the link: elianepregent.com
Have a great day! Éliane
Hi Éliane,
I'm happy to hear the theme has proved useful to you all this time
You will have to edit the image sprites for the theme to change the icon color. Open the provided
`sprite.psd` in Photoshop. The menu icon should be the third one on the second row. Change its color to black or something dark. Hide the background layer, and using the "Save for Web" command, export the sprite as a PNG image with transparency. Do the same for the hires sprite (
Once you have exported the PNGs you need to upload them on the customizer using the fields "Sprite" and "Sprite Hires".
I noticed your logo is a little on the long side and is pushing the menu underneath the header on tablets. When the logo is displayed as text it shows the blog title. If you want to keep the blog title as it is and shorten your logo, find the following code, on line 1108 or so:
{Title}
and change it to this:

If you encounter any problems send me a message using the form on my profile page.
Thank you for everything! That works perfectly.
Glad to hear that! Cheers!
Hi there!
Would I be able to disable the "Ask Me Anything Form" on the Site Footer?
Hey there, thanks for your purchase!
I guess you already found the option, but just in case, you can show or hide the Ask Widget on the footer by toggling the option Enable Footer Ask Widget. You can enable one of the photo stream widgets on its place.
Let me know if you need help with anything else.
Yes! Such a wonderful theme,I am so excited to customize it,I will comment again soon so you can take a looksie and see what your skills hooked me up with
For the most part,your customization options are a big help,thank you. I would like to know,if the slider could be replaced with a video? If so,what can I do to tweak this? It would be a youtube video. If this is possible..awesome!!
Hi there,
Thanks for the kind words
It's possible to create a video slide inside the homepage slider, leaving the others as they are in case you want to use them as well. Here's what to do to accomplish that:
Around line 1211 the slides wrapper begins:

You should insert the code for the video slide right below, in between that and

Of course, changing the embed code to your own video. Should look something like this http://i.imgur.com/4FjhIoH.png
I used the following CSS to style the slide http://pastebin.com/MLyDsc29 — copy the RAW data and paste it on "Advanced options > Add Custom CSS". If you have set your header's height to something other than 72, you may want to change
padding-top: 72px; to reflect that.
Now you need a little JavaScript to make the video responsive. Towards the end of the theme markup, around line 2312 and before
, paste the following:

If you're using multiple slides, make sure "Enable Slider Smooth Height" is on, and set "Slider Animation" to "slide". Also, the field "Slider Maximum Height" should be empty, otherwise the video will be clipped.
Let me know if you have trouble with any of the steps.
Hope that helps!
I liked it and purchased a theme very much.
I delete "the random" of the navigation menu, and what should I do to add a new menu?
A menu called "the management of the page" is added automatically when I add it by an "addition function of the page" of tumblr, and a menu is given to the bottom for dislocation.
You add it newly and put it out, and how can you do it?
"The management of the page" was changed by the change of the navigation label.
Can you delete the menu of the random?
Is the part of "Supple" of the title changed?
I tried it
It was settled
Hello there, and thanks for your purchase!
I'm not really sure what's the issue with the menu. The theme has two dropdown menus you can enable, one for post tags or filters, the other one for pages. Are you trying to add an additional dropdown menu?
Please share a link to your site so I can take a look.
To hide the "Random" item on the menu, just switch off the option "Enable Navigation Random Button".
"Supple" is part of the logo which is an image. You can upload your own images for your logo (standard and retina versions, see "Logo" and "Logo Hires"), or you can simply use plain text if you toggle the option "Enable Text Logo".
Hi there!
The header can't be shorter than 72px. The option "Header Height" is there to actually increase the height of the header to accommodate a bigger logo if necessary. Set "Header Height" back to `72` and you should be good.
To bring the footer closer to the grid, you could reduce the padding at the bottom of the grid and pagination (the default value is 40px):
#portfolio_index, #pagination { padding-bottom: 20px; } #pagination a { vertical-align: top; }
That should go into "Advanced options > Add Custom CSS".
I noticed that 'scroll-to-top' arrow isn't showing on your site. That's because the old image sprites are being "cached" by Tumblr. Please find the image fields "Sprite" and "Sprite Hires" and select "Remove". That will force the theme to use the newer images.
Let me know if that helps,
Awesome, but how i can move the grid closer to the header? its that possible?
You could apply the same value to the top padding, or set it to
1px to bring it really close:
#portfolio_index { padding-top: 10px !important; }
it works! im only need to get rid of the load button, and activated the infinit scroll. thanx.
You're welcome! You can just hide the whole pagination block, with the load-more button inside, with the following snippet:
#pagination { display: none; }
Hello hello!
When I size down my page to mobile size, the slider header and sub-header randomly disappears on a few slides. I deleted the CSS to avoid squishing as I want my slides to be responsive. But this messed up the captions. Either they'll flicker or the slides will change before the caption slides in. Tiernandesign.com
Hi there,
Looks like you set the "Slider Animation Speed" to be greater than "Slider Slideshow Speed", so the slide changes before it has enough time to complete the animation (fade or slide) and the events aren't being fired.
Please change "Slider Animation Speed" to something like `4000`, or increase "Slider Slideshow Speed" so is greater than `8000`, and let em know if that helps.
Thanks! That did the trick for the speed issue, but the header/sub-header are still only showing up on the first and fourth slides, skipping the second and third.
Only on mobile, I should have added*
Thank you,
Ok, the issue seems to be CSS related. At such small screen sizes, the sub-header become too wide and the whole caption is pushed underneath the slide.
Please add the following to "Advanced options > Add Custom CSS" and let me know if that helps things:
#top_banner .slider_caption { max-width: 98%; }
Awesome, thanks so much! That did just the trick.
Thanks for letting me know. I'll submit an update with the small fix shortly. Cheers!
Thanks for making a great template, I love it.
I was wondering how to disable the slider when showing tagged posts (after using the browse option).
I don't want to disable the slider completely, I need to use it on the home page, but not when showing tagged posts. Just like you did in the live preview, The slider shows only on home page: http://pixelmoxie-supple.tumblr.com/tagged/photo For some reason I have the slider on all my pages.
And also, if I update to a newer version will I have to customize everything again or will tumblr remember my settings?
Thank you for your help! Keep up the good work.
Hey there,
Thanks for your purchase, and for the kind words!
Please toggle the option "Hide Slider On Tag Pages" — that should hide it on both tag and search pages.
When you update the theme Tumblr should remember all the settings you enabled on the customizer. There's an odd option that keeps getting reset to the default value after each update, for me and a few users (on this theme is "Text Widget Description"), and I suspect that's a customizer bug. But everything else should be fine.
Of course if you change the theme itself, the code, you will lose those changes after an update so you should keep a backup. If you need to make aesthetic changes with CSS, is best to use the "Add Custom CSS" box on the advanced options to insert your style rules there, as those will be remembered too.
Thanks Sergio!
The reason I couldn't find "Hide Slider On Tag Pages" was because I was still using version 1.2, and the option was first available with version 1.3.
Is there another way to update the theme than pasting in the code in the editor?
Not really, to update the theme you have to repeat the installation steps, but paste the updated code instead.
OK, thanks!
How do you create pages just like inhttp://pixelmoxie-supple.tumblr.com/about
About ABout this theme Documentation Change Log Etc…..
Hey there!
Scroll all the way down on the customizer until you see the "Add a page" button. From there you can create as many pages as you need. They will have the same layout as Text posts, but with no pub date, as pages are not chronological. Toggle "Show a link to this page" so a link appears on the site navigation.
More info about using pages: https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/pages
Hi Sergio,
Thank you actually i did that. But the page doesnt look like the one you have in the demo. see: http://screencast.com/t/9jGHQjIydGw
Also how do i change the navigation e.g remove RSS, Navigation and change it to maybe shopping cart, dresses etc…?
Sorry just to further clarify, how do i change the navigation to create my own website pages http://screencast.com/t/DYujxcRq
How do i change it to maybe ABout Us, Product and Services etc..
They look similar to me, you just need to enter some more content. I used
h2, etc. tags for headings,
ul tags for lists,
blockquote tags for quotes, and so on. If you 'right-click' on the demo page and select 'Inspect element' (in Chrome), you can see the markup.
On the navigation, you can enable or disable the 'Home', 'Random' and 'RSS' buttons by toggling the options Enable Navigation [Home|Random|RSS] Button. Please refer to the documentation for more options http://goo.gl/nCddde
If you want to create a link to an external webpage such as a shopping cart, I think the easier way is to create a redirect page:
How do I create a Page that redirects to an external website?
If you want to create a link to posts with a certain tag on your site, you can create a redirect to a tag page, in the same manner. For example, enter 'dresses' for the Page URL when creating the redirect page, then on the "Redirect to" field, have it point to http://yourdomain.tumblr.com/tag/dresses, for example.
I hope that helps!
Hi Sergio,
That is very help. Just 1 last question. How do i duplicate your "Pages" Modules. Like i want to have
Home , Services (Dropdown) , Products (Dropdown)
And i dont want to use the tags module. I want to use the pages modules. Is that possible?
I'm glad that helped
Well, it's not possible to split all the pages into two dropdowns, tumblr will output all your pages in a single loop. If you want to have a second dropdown with links (that are not tags) you will have to place that code manually into the theme markup.
Send me a message using the form on my profile page, including a link to your website, so I can point you on the right direction.
LOVE this theme, thank you!
Quick question- is there a way to add side grey arrows to photoset sliders? Exactly like the homepage slider?
And also- is there a way to center photosets and single images (as well as the dot controls beneath them) on the page?
Thanks for the kind words
1) The reason why the photoset sliders don't have arrow controls is that, when you visit the permalink page, there are large arrows on the sides to navigate between posts. Having another pair of similar looking arrows thrown in there could be potentially confusing and visually unappealing.
2) Not sure what you mean by this—aren't the images and pagination dots horizontally centered on the page for you? Send me a link to such a post so I can take a look.
Hey, awesome theme, have been using it for a long time Have been curious about two things, here they are:
1) Is it possible in any way that I can remove the 'post previews' on the main page, and just place something else (a Youtube video, for example) in its place instead?
2) I really would like to use a hover image, and it works awesome on a pc or mac, but on a mobile device the image doesn't even appear. Is there any way I can just make the images appear at least on mobile pages (even if the hover effect doesn't work)?
Thanks a lot!!!
never mind the second problem, think it was the browser's problem!
Hey there,
Happy 2015!
I'm glad the theme has been useful to you this far
1) It would be possible in theory, but I'm not sure how well that'll work in practice (and I think video controls would look ugly on the grid). You would need to modify the theme heavily so that video posts show a player instead of the image thumb (this would affect ALL your video posts). This of course would be out of the scope of support, so you will need to enlist the help of a developer or make the modifications yourself.
2) I'm not sure if you mean the icons that show on hover with a default theme installation. Hover events don't happen on mobile devices, but a hover event should be fired when you tap on a thumbnail, so the overlay should be displayed briefly before navigation to the thumb URL. If you want to display the icons by default on mobile, bypassing hover events, you would need some custom CSS, but it will depend on what you're trying to achieve.
I just wanted to thank you so much for your help today. You went above and beyond to help me out. The supple set up was perfect for me on tumblr, and I've made sure to show friends as well who are looking for a clean, professional hugely customizable theme.
Thank you again for everything, 45353534535 stars for this purchase – Liz
Thanks for the nice words! I'm glad I could help
hi! i would like to ask if it's possible that the first image for text based post will not be hidden from view if i enable the text based posts thumbnail images,please please >< thank you so much!!!!
and thank you for always hgelping out!
Hi there!
if you're using the latest version of the theme (1.4.1), search for the following string on the theme code:
And replace it with:
The later is a modified version of the compiled scripts that doesn't remove the featured image on permalink pages.
Let me know if that helps,
thank you so much for your fast response! everything works perfect now! i really love supple theme so i'm always thankful for this amazing theme and your fast support! o
You're welcome! Cheers
hi! sorry for bothering so much but i just wanna ask question do you know how i can make the background image? i already did this long time ago but i forgot what i changed to the codes ><
also is there a way to make the header background transparent? thank you! ><
and lastly, there's a bug with the slider? the slider headings and subheadings keeps on appearing then disappearing >< thank you! ><
Add this to your Custom CSS for a background image that repeats and transparent header (replace the url with the path to your image):
/* body bg image */
body {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/JZmd3jG.png) repeat center;
/* transparent header */
#site_header .inner,
#searchbox::before {
background: transparent;
Not sure about the slider, would need to take a look at your site. Please share a link.
hi!!! thank you for the support you gave me last time~ i just wanna ask another question, when i edit the sprites and upload it to the theme, when i check in mobile the sprites are not working the only thing i did on the sprites are change the colors
it works nice on desktop but viewing on mobile im having problems ><
Hey there,
You have to edit and export both the standard and retina sprites (
sprite.psd and
email@example.com) and upload both PNGs using the Sprite and Sprite Hires fields.
can you explain how? i tried uploading the sprite@2x png in the sprite highres and sprite png to sprite field but the problem still there when viewing in mobile ><
Please share a link to your site so I can take a look. Thanks.
I think the problem is that you used the old PSD files for the sprites that came with earlier versions of the theme. The latest sprites have a few more icons/symbols and a different size, that's why the icons on your footer look odd when viewed on a smartphone.
Please use the PNG files included on the v1.4.1 package to edit your sprites and export them again.
Hope that helps!
Is there a way to set the grid height to auto instead of a specific height.
example – http://vesper-theme.tumblr.com/
No, that isn't possible. Sorry
Hi there! Sorry if this has been asked before. Is it possible to create a gap between the post previews so that they are not so close together? Thanks!
Hi there,
You may have used a PNG image with transparency for the thumbnail. Please export your images with a solid background so nothing shows underneath.
how do i switch my layout to be like your example on demo 2?
Hey there,
The second demo makes use of the Welcome Message feature http://bit.ly/1CQjtWL
Besides that, the Thumbnail Height Percentage option is set to
140, to make the thumbnails taller, and the Enable Faux Fullwidth Footer option is enabled for the footer.
Hope that helps!
I love the theme. It's so great. I'm wondering if there's a way to disable the "page arrows." I'm sure that's not what they're called, but see the link for what I'm talking about. Thanks!
Hi there,
Thanks for the kind words
Sure, just go to "Advanced options > Add Custom CSS" on the customizer and paste the following:
.permalink_pagination--desktop { display: none !important; }
Worked perfectly; thanks so much!
No problem! Glad I could help
Thanks for everything!
On mobile, the welcome message is still displaying on tagged pages. Is there a way I can hide this? It doesn't display on desktop tagged pages.
That's because you have an error on the CSS. There's an unclosed media query here that's "engulfing" the CSS rules that follow it:
/* ===[ Responsive header ]=== */ #menu_bar, #main_nav { display: none; } #logo_link { height: 72px; } @media screen and (min-width: 30em) {
Remove the line
@media screen and (min-width: 30em) {
Awesome, thanks so much!
No problem
Hi there!
Tumblr's latest interface update has me wondering why a few of my thumbnail tile backgrounds aren't showing up when I hover over them.
My site is emilierejician.com.
I appreciate any insight you have to help me resolve this issue!
Thanks in advance, Emilie
Hi Emilie,
I'm not sure what you mean, all the thumbnail images are showing fine on my end. Do you mean that some of the titles aren't showing?
If that's the case, the missing titles seem to be wrapped using

 tags from what I can see, while you should be using

 tags to enclose them.
Your version of the theme is quite outdated too. You should try updating to the latest version (v1.4.1) and see if that solves any issues you're having. Just download the files again and repeat the installation steps. With the latest updates you just need to make the text bold to make it into a title.
Keep in mind that while your customization options and Custom CSS will be preserved, any changes you may have made to the theme HTML will be lost, so make sure to make a backup of your current theme if that's the case.
Let me know if you need further help,
Hello, I just purchase this theme but it doesn´t work at all, I copy paste the pixelmoxie-supple-1.4.2.txt in the edit html, but nothing happens, (i already click update preview, but all it does is get the page in blank (http://laus-pms.tumblr.com/), so I don´t know if the text is incorrect, I want to have the right text, or a solution to this if not I would like to have my money back. thanks
Hi LausPMS,
Thanks for your purchase
One possibility is that the software you used to open the theme file messed with the code, rendering it invalid HTML.
Please send me an email using the form on my profile page, including your tumblr login credentials (with a temporary password), and I'll take a look at the code.

Two troopers fired for a 'KKK prank' await word on whether they will resume working.
The two troopers presented their arguments to get their badges back during a Sept. 4 arbitration hearing.
They should know their fates by Oct. 20, an Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesman said.
Craig Franklin and Eric Wlodarsky were fired in the spring for their roles in the prank. Franklin dressed up in a makeshift KKK outfit and Wlodarsky snapped his picture on a cell phone while the two were on duty at the Sandusky post of the Patrol. The photo was taken Jan. 20, the day before Martin Luther King Jr. day.
The picture was sent to a trooper at another post where someone discovered it and sent it to Patrol brass.
Both troopers apologized for the incident, calling it a joke. The two men said it was based on a skit by black comedian Dave Chappelle.
Initially the two men were disciplined and recommended for termination, but were allowed to retain their jobs thanks to a last-chance provision in their union agreement.
But when the incident was uncovered by the Register, the Sandusky NAACP demanded the troopers be fired. Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland later ordered that the troopers' employment be terminated.
Franklin and Wlodarsky contend their firing violated the union agreement and they should get their jobs back, Elaine Silveria said. Silveria is a lawyer for the Ohio State Trooper Association, the union that represents the fired troopers.
"They feel as though they were fired unjustly and want their jobs back," Silveria said.
Silveria did not know if either trooper is working another job.
If the mediator rules against the troopers, they'll have no further recourse to regain their positions, Silveria said.
"Arbitration is final, it's binding on the employee and the union," she said.
Silveria claims Strickland overstepped his authority in this situation.
"The governor had no authority to do what he did," Silveria said. "We had an executed contract."

Overrated by whom? When? Dave Mathews is probably underrated by most the people I know, who absolutely loathe him. On that note I'll nominate (ducking) The Ramones. I love them too but these days you'd think they invented Rock. They were revolutionary in some ways (although not as much as people imagine) and provided the much need prick to bad 70's prog-rock but they didn't grow much beyond that.

Dave Matthews Band gets my vote, with John Maher as a close second.
Can't understand anyone who would think the Beatles are overrated, and it's not just because I'm nostalgic. It's just pretty hard to get from the 50's to today without going through them. Similarly, it is very hard to get to todays hard rock and heavy metal without stopping for a while on Jimi Page's repertoire.

I said the Stones because I thought that they would provoke a response but I think that for them to be called the greatest band ever is a joke. I like Queen but they are overrated and Nirvana basically started a new genre in music (which sounded to me to be a heavier 70's rock sound). These threads and questions are all opinion but I think they are kind of fun and can spark some interesting answers and commentary.

I give up. What can I say. Let's just talk about T-Rex. Hell, Bolan isn't even in the Hall of Fame. Moreover they certainly wern't overated in the USA, they were only popular here with musicians. In any event back in the early 70s when Arena Rock was destroying everything, Bolan kept the 3 minute single alive and has been very influential over the years. Lou Reed, Bowie, Mott, Johnny Rotten,Roxy Music, most punk bands,particularly the Ramones, have all stated their debt to T-Rex. Bolan invented glam, and glam led to punk.Originally Posted by westofyou

Not that old argument again. How many songs did Sinatra write? or Billie Holliday? or Aretha? Elvis was a singer, not a songwriter. But such an incedible and revolutionary singer (like Sinatra) that the fact that he didn't write his songs doesn't diminsh his greatness.

A look-up-table-based programmable logic device is provided with memory circuitry which can be operated either as random access memory ("RAM") or to perform product term ("p-term") logic. Each individual row of the memory is separately addressable for writing data to the memory or, in RAM mode, for reading data from the memory. Alternatively, multiple rows of the memory are addressable in parallel to read p-terms from the memory. The memory circuitry of the invention is particularly useful as an addition to look-up-table-type programmable logic devices because the p-term capability of the memory circuitry provides an efficient way to perform wide fan-in logic functions which would otherwise require trees of multiple look-up tables.

No. 6,118,720, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/034,050, filed Mar. 3, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,020,759, which claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 60/041,046, filed Mar. 21, 1997.
This invention relates to programmable logic array devices having embedded random access memory arrays which can be configured as programmable product-term-type logic elements if desired. More particularly, the invention relates to programmable logic devices having look-up tables for performing logic and larger blocks of random access memory which are usable by the user for such purposes as data storage and additional look-up table logic, and which larger blocks of random access memory are alternatively configurable as programmable product-term-type logic elements.
One known type of programmable logic device includes an array of programmable AND gates which typically produces multiple outputs, each generally resulting from the ANDing of multiple inputs. These AND gate array outputs are commonly referred to as "product terms" because the logical representation of the AND function is analogous to multiplication. Generally, a plurality of these product terms, or "p-terms," are combined by an OR gate to produce a sum-of-products output (the OR function being analogous to addition).
Another type of programmable logic device is implemented using many relatively small look-up tables whose inputs are either the inputs of the programmable logic device or the outputs of other look-up tables in the device.
Programmable logic architectures have recently been developed in which relatively large, user-configurable blocks of random access memory (RAM) are provided among blocks of look-up-table-type programmable logic. One such architecture is described in Cliff et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,689,195, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. These user-configurable memory blocks can be used as general-purpose memory for the device, or they can be used as additional relatively large look-up-table-type logic blocks.
Look-up-table-type logic may have a disadvantage relative to p-term-type logic with respect to the number of inputs to a logic function that can be implemented in one reasonably sized block of circuitry. For example, the above-mentioned Cliff et al. reference shows devices having many four-input look-up tables and several relatively large blocks of user-configurable RAM that can function as eight- to 11-input look-up tables. To perform logic functions of more than 11 inputs in such a device it is necessary to use a tree of the available look-up table units. It is not practical to redesign devices of this kind with larger user-RAM blocks to individually act as look-up tables having significantly larger numbers of inputs (e.g., 20, 30, or more inputs) because such RAM blocks would have to be extremely large. However, p-term-type logic arrays with 20, 30, or even more inputs are not excessively large and can therefore more readily provide outputs which are functions of large numbers of inputs.
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of this invention to provide look-up-table-type programmable logic devices with the capability of more readily performing some logic functions having large numbers of inputs.
It is another object of this invention to provide look-up-table-type programmable logic devices which include relatively large blocks of user-configurable RAM with the capability of optionally performing some logic functions using p-term-type logic in the user-configurable RAM if desired.
These and other objects of the invention are accomplished in accordance with the principles of the invention by providing programmable logic devices having look-up-table-type logic and relatively large blocks of user-configurable RAM which are optionally usable to perform p-term-type logic. For storing data in a RAM block, or for using the RAM block as ordinary memory (including additional look-up table logic), circuitry is provided for addressing the various rows of the block one at a time on an individual basis. For using a RAM block to perform p-term-type logic, additional circuitry is provided for alternatively addressing multiple rows of the block in parallel. For each column of memory locations in a RAM block, the contents of the rows that are addressed in parallel are logically ANDed to produce a p-term output of the contents of those rows. OR logic circuitry is provided for selective use to logically OR various column outputs and thereby produce sum-of-products output signals when the RAM block is being used in p-term mode.
Further features of the invention, its nature and various advantages will be more apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

An illustrative random access memory module 10 configured according to the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. RAM module 10 can be an embedded array block in a programmable logic device having an architecture such as that described in the above-mentioned Cliff et al. reference, or any other type of device having embedded RAM blocks or modules. FIG. 2 shows how a plurality of RAM blocks 10 can be embedded among the logic blocks 21 of programmable logic device 20. Each of logic blocks 21 is made up of several logic modules 22, each of which includes a four-input look-up table. Additional structure of device 20 (including interconnection conductor network 23) can be as shown and described in the above-mentioned Cliff et al. reference. Another example of a programmable logic device which can include embedded RAM blocks 10 in accordance with the invention is shown in FIG. 6 and described later in this specification.
At the heart of RAM module 10 is the RAM array 11. The illustrative RAM module 10 shown in FIG. 1 has one 16-bit write port (DataIn bus conductors 12) and one 16-bit read port (conductors 110). As shown in FIG. 1, RAM array 11 is a two kilobit array arranged as 64 by 32 bits. RAM array 11 can be written by inputting up to 16 bits of data at one time on DataIn bus 12, which feeds column decode, data selection and control logic 13. Column control logic 13 uses write address data bits 10 through 6 on AddrW lines 14 to decode and select for which columns of array 11 the data on lines 12 are intended. Thirty-two column select lines 15 and 32 data lines 16 connect column control logic 13 to array 11. Additional address data bits 5 through 0, for indicating for which row the data on lines 12 is intended, are input on AddrW lines 17 and are decoded by address decoder 18 and address multiplexer 19. When write enable input 100 is high, address multiplexer 19 passes the decoded address data to array 11 on the addressed one of write enable lines 101. In other words, when writing data to RAM array 11, elements 18 and 19 operate to select the write enable input 101 for the one of 64 rows of the RAM array that is addressed by AddrW bits 5 through 0.
As seen in FIG. 3, when for a given RAM cell 30 both the associated column select line 315 and the associated row write select line 301 are high, the datum on the associated DataIn line 316 is coupled to storage element 31 (generally comprising strong inverter 32 and weak inverter 33 coupled together in a closed loop series) through field effect transistors 34, 35 respectively.
In read mode, when module 10 is used as ordinary RAM, row address data bits 5 through 0 are provided on AddrR lines 171 and column address data bits 10 through 6 are provided on AddrR lines 102. The column address data on lines 102 control the data output selection logic of output control module 103 to select the columns of RAM array 11 from which data will be output via leads 110. The row address data that are input on lines 171 are decoded by address decoder 18 and address multiplexer 19. When read enable input 104 is high, address multiplexer 19 passes the decoded address data to array 11 on the addressed one of 64 read address lines 105. Assuming that p-term mode is not enabled by an appropriate signal from programmable Enable P-term Mode function control element ("FCE") 106, the decoded address data on lines 105 pass unchanged through p-term address multiplexer 107 onto lines 205 and into array 11 to select one row in the array for reading.
As can be seen, if a particular cell is selected, by virtue of the associated row read line 305 being high, field effect transistor 36 connects memory element 31 to data out line 304, which can be read if it is selected by logic 103. When transistor 36 is turned on by row read line 305, then if element 31 contains a logic "1", transistor 37 pulls data out line 304, held high by pull-up 306, toward ground. Reading the output of line 304 may require a sense amplifier, even when RAM module 10 is used as ordinary RAM, and output control logic 103 therefore preferably includes a sense amplifier, which may be conventional, for each output line 304.
When module 10 is used in p-term mode (by appropriately programming FCE 106), only reading is affected. In p-term mode, p-term address multiplexer 107 disconnects address lines 205 from address lines 105, and connects them instead to 64 p-term inputs on lines 115, which are the true and complement of the 32 signals on address inputs 14, 102, and 171 and data inputs 12. Inputs 12, 14 are available as p-term inputs because they are not normally used in read mode. This particular choice of input signals for p-term mode is arbitrary, and instead any other signals could be used for part or all of the 32 p-term mode inputs described in the immediately preceding sentences. Lines 205 thus select multiple rows at a time, so that each output line 304 becomes a p-term of the 64 true and complement signals to the extent that in the column associated with that output line the various memory cells are programmed logic "1". In particular, each line 304 is pulled low if any of the cells 30 on that line is programmed with a logic "1" and is selected by a logic "1" on the associated row read line 305. Again, the output on each line 304 is read by a sense amplifier in control logic 103. Control logic 103 may also contain one or more OR gates, to each of which two or more of the p-terms on lines 304 can be connected for a sum-of-products output. Logic 103 may also include flip-flops or other register elements to optionally provide registered outputs. An illustrative embodiment of representative portions of logic 103 is shown in more detail in FIG. 4, which will now be described.
In FIG. 4 conductors 304 n and 304 m correspond to two representative instances of conductor 304 in FIG. 3. AND gates 402 n and 402 m represent the AND function performed by the connection of multiple transistors 36 in FIG. 3 to each conductor 304. The OR function required for sum-of-products logic is performed by or with the aid of elements 404, 406, 410, 420, 430, and 470. The alternate route 440 from conductors 304 to programmable logic connector ("PLC") 450 is used when RAM module 10 is serving as ordinary RAM rather than as p-term logic. The circuitry represented by block 440 may therefore be constructed as shown in the above-mentioned Cliff et al. reference. When used to perform sum-of-products logic, the circuitry shown in FIG. 4 may be thought of as logic macrocell circuitry, and it will sometimes be referred to in that way.
PLC 406 a is programmable by FCE R1 to apply either VCC (logic 1) or p-term 304 n to one input of PLC 470. PLC 406 b is programmable by FCE R1 to apply either p-term 304 n or VSS (logic 0) to one input of OR gate 410. PLC 406 n is programmable by FCE R2 to apply either p-term 304 m or the logical inverse of p-term 304 m (produced by inverter 404) to a second input of OR gate 410. The third input to OR gate 410 is a cascade connection 408in from adjacent sum-of-products logic (not shown but similar to the logic shown in FIG. 4 for adjacent p-terms 304). In particular, the cascade in 408 in of each macrocell is the cascade out 408 out of the adjacent macrocell.
The output of OR gate 410 is applied to one input terminal of each of PLCs 420 a and 420 b. PLC 420 a is programmable by FCE R3 to apply either the output of OR gate 410 or VSS to cascade out 408out. PLC 420 b is programmable by FCE R3 to apply either the output of OR gate 410 or VSS to one input terminal of EXCLUSIVE OR gate 430. The other input to EXCLUSIVE OR gate 430 is the output signal of PLC 470. Elements 430 and 470 cooperate to allow the macrocell to produce the EXCLUSIVE OR of the output of OR gate 410 with any of (1) VCC (from PLC 406 a), (2) a single p-term 304 n output (from PLC 406 a), (3) VSS, (4) the Q output of flip-flop 460, or (5) the inverted Q output of flip-flop 460. PLC 470 is programmably controlled by FCEs R4 and R5. PLC 450 is programmable by FCE 452 (which can be the same as FCE 106 in FIG. 1) to select either the output of EXCLUSIVE OR gate 430 or an output of logic 440 for application to the D input of flip-flop 460 and one input of PLC 480. PLC 480 is programmable by FCE R6 to apply either the output of PLC 450 or the Q output of flip-flop 460 to RAM module 10 output lead 110. Thus the macrocell shown in FIG. 4 can output either a registered (Q) or combinatorial sum-of-products signal via conductor 110. Elements 460 and 480 are usable similarly in conjunction with circuitry 440 to provide either a registered or unregistered conventional RAM or ROM output from RAM module 10.
The sum-of-products macrocell circuitry shown in FIG. 4 can be generally similar to the macrocell circuitry shown in pedersen U.S. Pat. No. 5,121,006, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
In the 64-by-32 array 11 shown in FIG. 1, 32 p-terms of 32 inputs each can be provided. By effectively combining different numbers of OR gates 410 in output logic 103, 1 to 16 sum-of-products outputs with between 32 and 2 p-terms per output can be provided. OR gates 410 are effectively combined in this way via the cascade out and cascade in connections 408 described above.
The provision of 32 p-terms of 32 inputs provides wider fan-in and faster circuits than using trees of four-input look-up tables. This may facilitate implementation of more complex logic or state machines. And more than one such array in a programmable logic device can be used in this way.
The write port at lines 101 is not used for the above-described p-term mode operation of module 10. Therefore, the write port is available during p-term operation for writing to array 11. Thus, a device can be provided that is self-modifying, assuming that address data for writing to array 11 can be applied to the array. Although as described, the write address lines are used for p-term inputs, a different arrangement can be used if self-modifying logic is desired. For example, other p-term inputs can be provided in place of using the write address lines that are shown being used for some of those inputs. The write address lines can then remain available for use in modifying the contents of array 11. This ability to write into the p-term block (i.e., array 11) can provide effective implementation of logic for reconfigurable computing applications. For example, the p-term array 11 can be used as a 32-input 16-output multiplexer, giving flexible routing that can be changed on the fly. In addition, using the full power of the p-term to implement logic functions allows significantly different logic functions to be "downloaded" by changing the contents of array 11.
FIG. 5 shows an example of how the circuitry of FIG. 1 can be modified to facilitate writing new data to array 11 to allow complete freedom to change the data in array 11 without interfering with use of the array as a p-term array in sum-of-products logic. In the alternative shown in FIG. 5 the 32 word line signals needed by array 11 in p-term mode come from separate word line signal conductors 114, rather than being "borrowed" from other sources like conductors 12, 14, 102, and 171. (Such independent sourcing of all the word line signals is not absolutely necessary. For example, some of the word line signals could still be "borrowed" as in FIG. 1 from read address conductors 102 and 171 because the signals on these conductors are not needed by elements 18, 19, 103, and 107 in p-term mode operation of the circuitry.) This arrangement of the circuitry allows new data to be written to any cell of array 11 at substantially any time without interfering with use of the array to provide p-term outputs. Accordingly, the circuitry shown in FIG. 5 has all the additional advantageous characteristics described in the immediately preceding paragraph (e.g., the circuitry can implement logic for reconfigurable computing applications, the circuitry can function as a dynamic 32-input 16-output multiplexer, and significantly different p-term logic functions can be "downloaded" into array 11 whenever desired).
By configuring RAM blocks 10 of an SRAM-based look-up-table-type device 20 in the manner shown herein, one obtains a look-up-table-type device that can optionally provide p-term logic functions of large numbers of inputs.
FIG. 6 shows another example of a programmable logic device 20′ having RAM blocks 10 embedded among logic blocks 21′. In this case device 20′ may be constructed generally as shown in Freeman U.S. Pat. No. Re. 34,363, which is also hereby incorporated by reference herein. Thus each logic block 21′ may be a configurable logic block ("CLB") which includes one or two small look-up tables. Each CLB 21′ may be surrounded by interconnection conductors 23′ for conveying signals to, from, and between CLBs 21′ and other circuitry on or off the device. Such other circuitry on the device includes RAM blocks 10. Each CLB 21′ may receive signals from the interconnection conductors 23′ adjacent to any of its sides. Similarly, each CLB may output signals to any of its sides. As in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, each RAM block 10 is usable either as ordinary RAM/ROM or to perform p-term logic.
FIG. 7 illustrates a programmable logic device 20/20′ of this invention in a data processing system 502. Data processing system 502 may include one or more of the following components: a processor 504; memory 506; I/O circuitry 508; and peripheral devices 510. These components are coupled together by a system bus 520 and are populated on a circuit board 530 which is contained in an end-user system 540.
System 502 can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as computer networking, data networking, instrumentation, video processing, digital signal processing, or any other application where the advantage of using programmable or reprogrammable logic is desirable. programmable logic device 20/20′ can be used to perform a variety of different logic functions. For example, programmable logic device 20/20′ can be configured as a processor or controller that works in cooperation with processor 504. Programmable logic device 20/20′ may also be used as an arbiter for arbitrating access to a shared resource in system 502. In yet another example, programmable logic device 20/20′ can be configured as an interface between processor 504 and one of the other components in system 502. It should be noted that system 502 is only exemplary, and that the true scope and spirit of the invention should be indicated by the following claims.
Various technologies can be used to implement programmable logic devices 20/20′ employing the RAM modules 10 of this invention, as well as the various components of those RAM modules. For example, function control elements 106 and other FCEs can be SRAMs, DRAMs, first-in first-out ("FIFO") memories, EPROMs, EEPROMs, function control registers (e.g., as in Wahlstrom U.S. Pat. No. 3,473,160), ferro-electric memories, fuses, antifuses, or the like. From the various examples mentioned above it will be seen that this invention is applicable to both one-time-only programmable and reprogrammable devices.
It will be understood that the foregoing is only illustrative of the principles of the invention, and that various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. For example, the particular numbers of rows and columns of memory cells mentioned above in the description of depicted array 11 are only illustrative, and different numbers of rows and columns (generically N rows and M columns) can be provided instead if desired. The words "row" and "column" are used arbitrarily herein, and no absolute or fixed directions or orientations are intended thereby. For example, these words can be interchanged in this specification and claims if desired. As another example of modifications within the scope of this invention, the polarities of various signals and logic mentioned herein are only illustrative, and other polarities can be used if desired. Thus the fixed potential to which each transistor 37 is connected could be logic 1 rather than logic 0 as shown in FIG. 3, and each data out conductor 304 could have a pull down connection to logic 0 rather than a pull up connection to logic 1 as shown in FIG. 3.

Lewis Hamilton confident W05 can go even quicker despite fastest time on final day
But newly-installed 2014 favourite refusing to rule out Red Bull

Lewis Hamilton has warned the rest of the F1 field that there is still "a lot more to come" from the Mercedes W05 even after setting the fastest time on the final day of winter testing.
In a stunning late burst with less than an hour of Day Four in Bahrain remaining, Hamilton blitzed the field with a time of 1:33.278.
Although the Briton's effort was a fraction slower than the best time set in the two tests at Bahrain this winter, a 1:33.258 by Williams' Felipe Massa on Day Three of week two, the 2008 World Champion's lap was seven-tenths faster than any other driver managed on Sunday as the field completed its preparations for the new season.
Hamilton returned to the track after an early gearbox problem
Mercedes have confirmed that Hamilton's fastest time was set on the first of his two runs on the supersoft tyre, with Hamilton abandoning his second effort after going even quicker in the first sector and adamant afterwards that his new car had still not been fully stretched.
"There's a lot more to come," insisted Hamilton. "I did two runs on the supersofts - the first run was not very good, part of the lap was okay but there were a few mistakes, and then the second run was terrible. But that's just part and parcel of trying to learn how to extract the most from those tyres and now that I know there's a whole heap more grip to come from those tyres I'll set up the car better to extract it."
Mercedes' mechanics were keen to guard the back of the W05
Reviewing what Hamilton termed a "weird" pre-season in which the 11 teams' attempts to grapple with a complex and revolutionary set of regulations consistently produced wildly divergent lap times and a spate of car failures, the Mercedes driver was particularly coy when pressed to assess his chances of landing a second world title.
"All I can say is that we will definitely be shooting for the top five!" he dead-batted to reporters. "There were loads of stuff we could have done and we could do with another couple of weeks of testing but I'm sure that's the same for everyone!"
There would certainly be no argument with that assertion from World Champions Red Bull after they completed the fewest miles in testing with the exception of minnows Marussia and, after they missed the Jerez test, Lotus.
Yet despite Red Bull's pronounced winter woes, Hamilton is refusing to write off Sebastian Vettel and the Milton Keynes outfit as they seek a fifth consecutive title double.
"They look like they have a stunning car and usually the more beautiful it is, the faster it is, so I'm sure they have a fast car this year. Once they have the engine sorted they will be tough to beat," he mused.
"But I know my team is stronger than ever."

But really though, I 'm a Figaro
from Skee-Lo – I Wish Lyrics on Genius
Skee-lo likens himself to Figaro, "the barber of Seville" from the Figaro trilogy by the eighteenth-century French playwright Beaumarchais (which Mozart adopted into operas later on). Figaro is a poor rogue who wins over women with his wits at the expense of the ruling class, hence the comparison.

Old rivalries die hard, and it seems Kelly Osbourne and Paris Hilton still haven't quite buried the hatchet.
After seeing each other at the 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival over the weekend, the "Fashion Police" host took to Twitter to slam the "Simple Life" starlet.
Having a blast at the annual event, Kelly Osbourne left the Neon Carnival at the 2014 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday (April 12).
The "Fashion Police" star wore a black leather jacket over her springy dress with colorful shoes and her purple hair as she smiled at photographers outside.
Setting the record straight on Huff Post Live, Kelly Osbourne addressed recent tabloid rumors surrounding this year's scandalous celebrities, particularly Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber.
Attending a delicious event in downtown Manhattan, Kelly Osbourne showed up to spearhead the "Wheat Thins Popped" Launch on Wednesday (April 9).
Keeping things fashionable, the "Fashion Police" host wore a black and white striped jacket over a black top and eye-catching long skirt.
It's been a tough road since splitting from fiancé Matthew Mosshart, but Kelly Osbourne looks to finally be on the upswing.
The "Fashion Police" hottie took to her Instagram account on Sunday (April 6) to show off a new hairdo and it definitely looks… interesting.
They certainly know how to rack up the frequent flyer miles, and last night (April 1) Sharon Osbourne and her daughter Kelly Osbourne arrived on a flight at LAX International Airport.
The "X Factor" mommy and her "Fashion Police" offspring both wore matching black overcoats as they scurried through the terminal and met their chauffeured car.
She has an opinion for pretty much everything, and Kelly Osbourne shared her feelings about the controversial Vogue cover featuring Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
She's always been quick to defend herself and her family against false rumors and on Tuesday (March 18), Kelly Osbourne did it again.
Earlier in the day, X17Online reported that the "Fashion Police" star is dating skater Braydon Szafranski.

Can someone do this for me? If so, how much $ ? And how quickly?
Hey, look at this: http://dazydude.net/demos/index.html
Looks like crap, but it works!
Awesome, ugly but can be styled. I need someone to help me integrate this into the existing wordpress theme. If you know of anyone it would be greatly appreciated.
I can hard-code it in, but then you'll have to look at all the code if you want to add a page or change something. You probably want someone who can also add controls in the control panel.
Nope, I do not know anyone who can do that, sorry.
Cheers, Rik de Vos
It should be relatively simple to use WordPress 3.0 menus for this combined with the (ugly but) great script. Justin Tadlock has a great tutorial on it:
There's no need to hard code the menu into the theme (probably into the header.php file), but you'll need to add a couple of lines of php (from the tutorial above) into the theme.
You'll also have to figure out how to customize those 5 lists with links. You may want to add a page in the control panel. Jeffrey Way has a good tutorial on that on nettuts+.

Hoosiers feeling Big Ten bruises | TIM ETHRIDGE COLUMN
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Max Dedmond is beginning to feel the effects of being a Big Ten starter.
Indiana University's sophomore tight end emerged from the locker room after last Saturday's 31-28 loss to Wisconsin a bit gingerly, though at least — unlike quarterback Ben Chappell — he didn't require a bag of ice around a knee.
"It's Big Ten football; you get beat up," said Dedmond, who, as a man in motion, serves as IU's lead blocker on many plays and now has 17 catches on the season, including one touchdown. "But you can't complain, because being on the field is what you want to do — it's fun out there."
What's hurting the Hoosiers more now is a three-game losing streak — three games, at Northwestern (a 29-28 loss), at Iowa (42-28) and at home to Wisconsin (31-28) that they played well, just not well enough.
Throw in a 36-33 loss at Michigan, and the Hoosiers (4-6) could easily have two more wins and be bowl eligible. Instead, they must win at No. 19 Penn State (8-2) and at home to Purdue (4-6) to get the required six victories, which still don't guarantee a bowl appearance.
"We've been through some tough times together, but we're moving forward," said Dedmond, a Central High School graduate. "It's obviously a long season, and it can be tough to come back as a team ... it's really unfortunate that we haven't gotten some wins.
"We've got to do extra things these last two weeks. We have to come out and do everything we can to prepare ourselves. We've got two good games against two good teams, and we're excited about it."
n IU stared across the line of scrimmage at another team wearing red-and-white uniforms last Saturday. But this was no mirror image. While IU hasn't disguised its wish to get bigger and stronger through its new state-of-the-art weight room, Wisconsin has been flexing its muscles for decades.
In its victory, much of Wisconsin's yardage came through brute force. The Badgers rolled up 294 yards rushing — 196 in the first half. At that, it was a better result for IU than a year ago, when Wisconsin had three rushers pass 100 yards en route to a Memorial Stadium-record 441 yards in a 55-20 rout in Bloomington.
John Clay, a 250-pound bruiser, gained all 134 of his yards in the first half on Saturday. Montee Ball, a 225-pound true freshman, had most of his 117 in the second half.
Neither was fancy.
"I used to focus on running away from people instead of just punishing them," said Clay. "But now I'm doing it vice versa."
That's the way it is up north. "Wisconsin, traditionally, is built on being tough," said defensive end O'Brien Schofield, whose sack of IU quarterback Ben Chappell ended IU's thoughts of closing a 10-point gap before halftime and whose hit on the QB resulted in an interception on the first drive of the second half. "It's a culture. It's what we are."
And what the Hoosiers would like to be when they finish growing up.
n Even if Penn State is a must-win for bowl consideration, IU coach Bill Lynch isn't biting.
"Honestly, we are not talking about that," he said. "Where we are and where we have played hard every game, except for the Virginia game (a 47-7 shellacking), we have concentrated on the process we have to do each and every day to get better. Sometimes when you talk about a game being a must-win, everything you work for goes out the window.
"You only get so many opportunities to play this game, so you better take advantage of each and every one of them."
n Lynch said using 285-pound true freshman defensive tackle Adam Replogle at fullback isn't a gimmick.
"He was a darn good fullback in high school (at Centerville, Ohio, where he rushed for 12 touchdowns as a senior), and he brings a physical lead block we had been missing — we've been getting down to the 2-yard line and getting stopped," said Lynch.
Replogle, the brother of IU starting linebacker Tyler Replogle, led the way on Trea Burgess' 2-yard, fourth-down touchdown run that got IU within 31-28 against Wisconsin. On third down, Chappell missed him in the flat on a pass.
"Adam's not going to let me forget that," said Chappell. "But having him in there was good. He's another guy who'll do whatever is needed to help us win."

Remove soybeans from the oven and from the hot pan immediately and allow them to cool completely.
Grind them, 1 cup at a time, in an electric blender.
Use 1 tablespoon of this "coffee" to every coffee cup of water, bringing the water to a boil in a small saucepan, then adding the soybean "coffee," covering the pan, removing it from the heat, and steeping the beverage for 5 minutes.

Jury orders Samsung to pay Apple $290 million
Sunday - 11/24/2013, 11:35am EST
Associated Press
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- A Silicon Valley jury on Thursday added $290 million more to the damages Samsung Electronics owes Apple for copying vital iPhone and iPad features, bringing the total amount the South Korean technology titan is on the hook for to $930 million.
The verdict covers 13 older Samsung devices that a previous jury found were among 26 Samsung products that infringed Apple patents.
The previous jury awarded Apple $1.05 billion. But U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh reduced the damages to $640 million after ruling that jury miscalculated the amount owed on 13 devices and ordered a new trial.
Apple had asked for $380 million, arguing Samsung's copying cost it a significant amount of sales. Samsung countered that it owed only $52 million because the features at issue weren't the reasons most consumers chose to buy Samsung's devices instead of Apple's.
Samsung said it would appeal both verdicts.
"For Apple, this case has always been about more than patents and money," Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said. "While it's impossible to put a price tag on those values, we are grateful to the jury for showing Samsung that copying has a cost."
A third trial is scheduled for March to consider Apple's claims that Samsung's newest devices such as the popular Galaxy S III on the market also copied Apple's technology.
Apple and Samsung are the world's two biggest smartphone makers. The bitter rivals have been waging a global battle for supremacy of the $300 billion worldwide market. The size of the award didn't faze Wall Street or harm or help either company's financial fortunes in any significant way.
Samsung reported it had $47 billion in cash at the end of September and racked up $247.5 billion in revenue last year. Apple has $147 billion of cash on hand and took in $170.9 billion in revenue last year.
"We understood that the money wasn't really an issue," said juror Barry Goldman-Hall. "This was about the integrity of the patent process."
Goldman-Hall, 60, of San Jose was one of two men and six women on the jury, which was tasked only with determining damages.
Apple has argued in courts, government tribunals and regulatory agencies around the world that Samsung's Android-based phones copy vital iPhone features. Samsung is fighting back with its own complaints that some key Apple patents are invalid and Apple has copied Samsung's technology.
Samsung lawyer William Price argued Apple is misconstruing the breadth of its patents to include such things as basic rectangle shape of most smartphones.
"Apple doesn't own beautiful and sexy," Price told the San Jose jury.
Apple attorney William Lee told the jury that Samsung used Apple's technology to lift it from an also-ran in the smartphone market three years ago to the world's biggest seller of them today.
"Apple can never get back to where it should have been in 2010," Lee told the jury Tuesday at the conclusion of the weeklong trial.
The fight in San Jose is particularly contentious. The courtroom is a 15-minute drive from Apple's Cupertino headquarters, and several prospective jurors were dismissed because of their ties to the company.
The three jurors who discussed the verdict outside court said Apple's proximity made no difference in their deliberations.
"Although Apple is down the street, it's a global company just like Samsung," jury forewoman Colleen Allen said. "I have a Samsung television and refrigerator and an Apple computer. I like both companies."
Allen, 36, of Aromas, is an emergency room nurse who served nearly eight years in the Navy, including a posting in Afghanistan.
"If we didn't award Apple much, we're saying it's OK to infringe patents," Allen said.
The South Korea-based Samsung has twice sought to stop the trial, accusing Apple on Tuesday of unfairly trying to inflame patriotic passions by urging jurors to help protect American companies from overseas competitors. The judge denied Samsung's request for a mistrial, but did reread an instruction ordering jurors to put aside their dislikes and biases in deciding the case.
On Wednesday, Samsung again demanded a halt to the trial after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office told Apple it was planning to invalidate a patent protecting the "pinch-to-zoom" feature at issue in the jury's deliberation. The judge ordered more briefing while declining to stop the trial.

Family Recipe
As children grow into adults, move away from home, and retreat into their independent silos of career and relationships, family dinners with mom and dad grow more infrequent. So when families do come together again, under the auspices of holiday celebrations, it's easy for tensions to flare and repressed emotions to boil to the surface among the exchanged gifts, devoured turkeys, and special silverware.
This is the relatable premise of Sean Grennan's Making God Laugh, which world-premiered in Wisconsin in 2011. The play opens in the home of "empty nest" parents on Thanksgiving 1980, when Jimmy and Ruthie's three grown children are visiting. The narrative proceeds with similar scenes ten years apart — Christmas in 1990, New Year's Eve in 2000, and Easter in the present day. Laughs will be exchanged as well as tears in a story that suggests the seriocomic filial catharses of Jon Robin Baitz's Other Desert Cities filtered through the time-skipping structure of Sharr White's Six Years. David Arisco directs Peter Haig, Angie Radosh, Michael Focas, Deborah Sherman, and Gregg Weiner in Actors' Playhouse's Florida premiere.

Corporate Registry Overview
Corporate Registry Overview
Corporate Registry is different things to different people. To businesses, it is a place where they can obtain limited liability for business ventures.
