I have also found that your prices are lower than most of the craft stores in and around my town, which I am also thankful for. I am disabled and money is short--every penny counts. So far you have had anything I've needed and shopping online is much better than driving around from store to store, looking for a parking place and waiting in line to fight the traffic back home.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Some road rage from commenters
A plan by MPI and the Selinger government to have the public insurer pick up the tab for certain road and street repairs that would boost driver safety had our readers leaning on their horns
Awesome wedge issue. The NDP is just looking for another back-door way to tax us. Open up the province to competition and then see if MPI is still gung-ho to fund roads. This monopoly poppycock has to end.
-- Blue Rod Blog
This is dishonest at best. Road repairs do need to be paid for and traditionally, this has been funded by some form of tax. For the NDP to now start funding needed road repairs using Autopac revenues and not calling it a TAX is dishonest. If the NDP needs to tax more to pay for road repairs, then please tax more, but be honest about it so we the taxpayers can fairly evaluate your ability to manage our taxes.
-- fooch
I think so long as MPI can provide a business case for each location. That is to say they need to demonstrate that their investment in that specific repair project is likely going to be covered by the reduction in claims, then it makes good business sense to do the work.
ManiSNOWba Proud
-- Trophy Time
They are also donating their "profits," or our money, to the CMHR.
Manitoba Hydro, the Manitoba Liquor Control Commission, Manitoba Lotteries Corporation, MPI Special Risk Extension all gave between $1 million to $2 million to the CMHR
-- WinnipegHome
I understand that this goes behind their mandate. Though this is no different then when Insurance companies had their own fire halls and when they help with the success of Underwriters Laboratories. This is just them mitigating their, and most and importantly your, potential for future loss.
-- kevmac89
Hey, I need a new truck because my old one is 24 years old and the brakes are not so good. So to improve public safety I would like all of the Autopac ratepayers to buy me a new one.
Thank you very much, NDP.
-- Pen@winn
Apparently, Manitobans hate to save money with forward-thinking ideas. This type of policy is applied in B.C. and in the U.S. because it is far cheaper for an insurance company to pay for minor upgrades than to pay out all the claims at these locations. Should it be done by the province and cities? Yes, but there is not always a budget for these upgrades. All I need to ask is why would you be against lowering costs? Are these comments coming from the same people that were against the installation of immobilizers? Those saved money in the long run, and were criticized just like these programs.
-- mountainrage
As a matter of principle, MPI should not be paying for road repairs. It confuses their mandate and potentially creates a longer-term situation where insurance rates would rise so vehicle owners would be responsible for roads. The roads are used by everyone (public transportation, non-Manitoba cars and trucks) so they are the responsibility of government. Keep it as is.
-- D in Wpg
I'll keep saying it until someone listens. MPI has gone off the rails a long time ago. The original mandate to provide quality auto insurance at cost has been forgotten. They have become an over-bloated bureaucracy, top-heavy with empire-building management of questionable ability. A full independent and transparent review has never happened and is long overdue.
-- pentax99
I love MPI. Their TV commercials build awareness on road rules and safe behaviours. They do an awesome job financing driving courses through schools. They approach their mission with a sense of partnership a dose of pragmatism -- the roads are unsafe, let's help make them safe. No need to get political about this, it's practical. And I for one appreciate their initiative.
-- Zabou
Don't know why the Cons are opposed to this. Isn't it a form of "user-pay"? They prefer that big brother should pay the tab?

Review by
George from Ohio
I bought these speakers to replace the stock Ford speakers in back of my ZX2, and OH MY GOD these speakers kick hard! For the size of the speaker, these guys give good deep bass on up to crystal clear highs. The difference between the Rockfords and the stock speakers is night and day. I'm very impressed.

This one-of-a-kind cookbook will transport you to a time where things were simpler, and food was always tasty and satisfying. Each of the recipes contained in this book is a reminder of how good food tastes in rural America, and will prompt you to create the dishes you grew up eating.
Among it's over 100 recipes, you'll find simple dishes like corn pudding and fried okra, as well as family favorites such as chicken friend steak with gravy and home-style pot roast. Leave room for lemon-friend bluegill and pond perch casserole, and don't forget the stuffed roast possum! Of course, you'll want to try a hand at molasses popcorn balls and wild blackberry pie.

Grain harvesting can be done in small spaces. With Homegrown Whole Grains, you'll learn how to grow, harvest and cook nine nutritious whole grains. From wheat and rice to heirloom grains, this book covers everything you need for a successful grain harvest.
All you need to start grain harvesting is to convert part of your yard into a field of grain. After the harvest you can enjoy nutritious whole grains, using them whole in delicious recipes or milling them into flour for artisan breads and other baked goods. Barley, quinoa, millet, buckwheat and oats are among the grains you'll learn to take from yard to plate.
Author Sara Pitzer started this book 30 years ago, when she wrote Wholegrains for the original folks of the back-to-the-land movement. Today, she writes about grain harvesting with a different attitude, one that helps modern homesteaders grow their own food at a smaller, more manageable scale.
For the gardener who is eager to grow more than a variety of vegetables, this grain harvesting book will become a dear resource. Each of the nine grains featured in Homegrown Whole Grains has a different flavor and use. By harvesting them at home, you'll be able to make such varied foods as whole grain pasta, as well as add variety to homegrown food.
About the Author: Sara Pitzer has learned and written about grains in Pennsylvania's Amish country, California, the American Southeast, Thailand and Peru. She is the author of more than a dozen cookbooks and travel guides.

Biodynamic gardening is about respect for nature, sustainability and spiritual ecology-but most of all it is about flavorsome, nutritious and real food; This biodynamic cookbook by Wendy E Cook, has all the recipes to prove it.
The Biodynamic Food and Cookbook is a source rich in information, beautifully illustrated and packed with healthy yet tasty recipes.
Biodynamic gardening and cooking is a movement that is supported by top chefs, expert viniculturists and numerous celebrities. Even Prince Charles has introduced its methods at his Gloucestershire farm. Yet biodynamic agriculture had humble beginnings, and is based on the approach of caring for the environment.
In 1924, a small group gathered to hear the philosopher and scientist Rudolf Steiner give a series of lectures. At a time when industrial farming and mass production were on the rise, Steiner spoke of the qualitative aspects of food and outlined an agricultural method founded on a holistic perception of nature. Today, more than ever, biodynamic farming and cooking goes beyond organic labels to embrace a real connection with the land.
Illustrated with hundreds of full-color photographs, The Biodynamic Food and Cookbook explains the principles behind biodynamics and places it in the context of food and cooking throughout the ages. This cookbook has a Mediterranean base, and includes recipe sections on bread, sauces, salads, desserts and drinks.
Wendy Cook takes us on a journey through the four seasons, presenting over 150 delicious recipes based on many years of working with biodynamic nutrition. She studies the ethics of food, the foundations of a balanced diet, and conjures up the color and vibrancy of Mallorca, the Spanish island that has contributed so much to her personal approach.

Author Sharon Astyk tackles all the nuts and bolts of preserving foods, and provides tips on how to bulk buy and preserve food inexpensively. Independence Days is packed with valuable secrets to home food preservation, including canning and dehydrating techniques, root cellaring, season extension, and a host of broader issues. In addition, it focuses on how to enjoy a delicious, high-quality diet at home year-round, how to preserve food on a community scale, and how to reduce reliance on industrial agriculture by creating self-sufficient and vibrant local economies.
In just a few decades, America's approach to food has changed radically from the self-sufficiency of our grandparents to the convenience foods of mega-supermarkets. The recent economic crisis has seen millions of North Americans move from being middle class to poor, and from poor to hungry. At the same time, the trend toward self-sufficiency, whole foods health and eating locally is shifting from being a pricey fringe activity to an essential element of getting by. But how can you eat locally, not just when the farmers markets are bountiful, but all year-round? Who really knows anymore how to eat outside of the supermarket, and who really knows how to eat a balanced diet based on easily stored and home preserved foods?

What do humans, elephants, bats, dogs, cats, and whales all have in common? Apparently, this little thing.
Yep. Scientists have zeroed in on a tiny, rat-sized animal that they believe to be the common ancestor of many of today's modern mammals — including us. This furry little critter lived 66 million years ago, scurrying under the feet of big 'ol dinosaurs and subsisting primarily on a diet of insects.
For a long time, scientists have been hunting for "a common genealogical link" between man and beast, and the Protungulatum donna is it, according to The New York Times. The Cretaceous-age animal was first discovered in the Gobi Desert in 1994. In a new study, researchers have identified that several of its anatomical characteristics made it a ripe candidate for humankind's common ancestor with other mammals because it live-birthed its young, and nourished them in utero through a placenta, just like humans, whales, and other aforementioned animals.
In any case, say hi to your great, great, great, great, great... grand-something. Careful. She bites. (Via the New York Times)

Rutherford And Son By Githa Sowerby: Northern Broadsides
Your father is a control freak
The family business is a millstone round your neck
Home feels like a prison
And yet you have dreams …
This powerful drama written and set in the North of England, 1912, is an unflinching portrayal of an industrial Edwardian family on the brink of collapse.
John Rutherford is a tyrannical patriarch, blind to the hopes and feelings of his family. The success of the family-owned glassworks, Rutherford & Son, takes precedence over everything… even happiness.
In a household run on fear cracks begin to appear. The emotional pitch builds up like a pressure cooker. The dramatic voltage intensifies as Rutherford's absolute authority is challenged and a catastrophic family mutiny begins to unfold, threatening to destroy his world and his factory.

Hiroki Yoshitake, chef at the Parisian restaurant Sola, has created a new in-flight menu for Japan Airlines.
Business and first-class passengers will enjoy high-end dishes from the Michelin-starred chef.
Through Aug 31, first-class and business passengers on Japan Airlines will enjoy meals by the chef and co-owner of Michelin-starred restaurant Sola in Paris.
In first class, caviar, smoked salmon and beef tenderloin are among the high-end dishes travellers will enjoy. Business class passengers, meanwhile, will savour foie gras mousse and sauteéd lobster, among other offerings. Passengers in both classes can end their meal on a sweet note with a light tropical fruit cream, a bergamot-infused milk chocolate mousse and a light cookie.
The new menu is available only to passengers in these two classes on flights between Paris and the airlines's Japanese destinations. In September, Japan Airlines will introduce a new fall menu from Shinichi Sato, the chef at the Parisian restaurant Passage 53, accompanied by a dessert course from pastry chef Jean-Paul Hévin.
Japan Airlines is among a growing number of carriers that collaborate with world-class chefs to meet the gourmet expectations of high-end travelers. Air France, for example, has called upon French celebrity chefs Joël Robuchon and Guy Martin, among others. The German chef Joachim Wissler, boasting three Michelin stars, has put together menus for Lufthansa. – AFP Relaxnews

5. A method for continuously automatically aligning a laser beam relative to a target and maximizing the power density of said laser beam at said target including the steps of:
(1) directing a reference laser beam from a stabilized source to a conveniently located sensor package;

(5) analyzing the wavefront profile of said sample beam to provide wavefront error correction signals;
(6) utilizing said wavefront error correction signals to change the wavefront profile of the main and sample laser beams.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to laser systems. More specifically, it relates to improved laser systems that provide automatic correction of tilt and focus errors in laser beams.
While the present invention is described herein with reference to specific embodiments, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. The principles of the present invention may be adapted and employed for a variety of requirements as those skilled in the art will recognize in light of the present disclosure.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Laser systems enjoy a wide variety of applications and promise a suitability for many others. Many applications require precise control of the direction and wavefront profile of the main laser beam. A wavefront is a three-dimensional surface of constant optical path length, orthogonal to a family of rays. Typical aberarations in the wavefront profile include those that change the focus, phase or astigmatic characteristics of the beam. Control of these distortions as well as the line-of-sight (tilt) of the main beam may be required in applications involving long distance communication and guidance of weapons systems. This is problematic insofar as the telescope invariably experiences microvibrations induced by the ambient environment. Such vibrations can seriously impair the performance of system.
In addition, the laser beam may be undesireably affected by distortions in the primary mirror or irregularities in the optical train between the laser source and the telescope. There are currently at least two approaches to this problem. One is to use four collimated pilot or auto-alignment beams in parallel with the primary beam. With this approach, the optical train is adjusted so that when it is properly aligned the pilot beams follow the optical train through the primary and secondary mirrors of the telescope and impinge upon several sensors gyro-stabilized along a vector in the line-of-sight (LOS) of the radar beam. The sensors provide signals to a servo-system which effectively corrects the aberration.
Such systems are costly and cumbersome in that additional laser beams, sensors, and optical components must be provided and each must be properly aligned.
Another approach utilizes a stabilized ring alignment concept. Here an annular reference mirror is disposed outside the primary mirror of the telescope so as to circumscribe the main laser beam. An auto-alignment beam parallel with the main beam, is reflected by the mirrored ring to a suitably located sensor. Here again, the sensor provides corrective signals to a servo-subsystem to compensate for the error. The auto-alignment ring can be quite large, and the fact that it must be inertially stabilized to high accuracies poses a limitation on the feasibility of this approach.
More importantly, while both the four beam autoalignment systems and the stabilized ring alignment systems provide a line-of-sight error correction capability, neither system can effectively detect wavefront aberrations arising from highly localized microdistortions in the optical train including the reflective surface of the primary mirror. The annular ring technique typically samples 1-10 percent of the aperture of the beam. The four beam auto-alignment systems typically sample 0.5 percent of the full aperture. Thus, the auto-alignment beams illuminate only a small portion of the reflective surface of the primary mirror.
Thus, it is a general object of the present invention to provide an improved automatic laser beam alignment system. It is a more specific object of the present invention to provide an improved laser beam alignment system that corrects line-of-sight and wavefront errors. An even more specific object of the present invention is to provide an improved automatic laser beam alignment system that is capable of correcting both distortions in the optical train and wavefront aberrations caused by microdistortions in the full aperture of the primary mirror. A still further object of the present invention is to achieve the above-identified objects with a small, simplified, economical error correction package that need not be inertially stabilized. These and other objects will become apparent upon consideration of the description which follows.
The objects of this invention are achieved by an auto-alignment system in which a sample beam is extracted from the main beam which has a fixed orientation relative to the main beam. A stabilized reference beam is also provided. The line-of-sight of the reference beam is compared to that of the sample beam by a sensor package. The sensor package provides control signals to a servo-system which repositions the main beam until the sample beam is aligned with the reference beam.
In the preferred embodiment, a grating is provided on the primary mirror so that when the main laser beam illuminates the primary mirror the sample beam is diffracted by the gratings onto the sensor. The grating pattern is predetermined so that the sample beam accurately maps the orientation and characteristic profile of the main beam. The main beam is substantially unchanged by the gratings and is reflected on to the target. In effect the sample beam is a smaller duplicate of the main beam spatially displaced.
The extraction of a sample beam from the main beam by placing a grating on the primary mirror effectively allows the surface of the primary mirror to be examined by the main beam. That is, distortions on the primary mirror within the illuminated area which cause distortions in the main and sample beams can be detected by the sensor package.
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a laser system employing the principles of this invention.
FIG. 2 is an expanded view of the error sensing circuit of the preferred embodiment.
FIG. 1 shows the beam correction system 10 of the present invention. The incoming rays of the main beam 12 are shown impinging upon the reflective surface of a deformable mirror 14. Deformable mirrors are useful in many laser applications because such mirrors provide variable control of the contour of the reflective surface. This provides the capability to modify the beam to correct wavefront errors such as focus.
In reference once again to FIG. 1, rays 12 are reflected from deformable mirror 14 to a rigid planar surfaced beam steering mirror 16. Steering mirror 16 is disposed so as to reflect rays 12 from the deformable mirror 14 to a secondary mirror 18. The steering mirror 16 can be located anywhere in the optical train prior to the primary mirror.
Secondary mirror 18 has a non-planar reflective surface 19 effective to reflect the beam 12 to a grated primary mirror 20. Secondary mirror 18 is shown in cross-section to reveal an aperture 21 through which a sample beam 22, a reference beam 24, and a portion of the main beam 12 pass in a manner discussed more fully below. Mirrors 14 and 16 have actuating mechanisms not shown.
The sample beam 22 is generated by the diffraction of the main beam 12 by the grated metallic mirrored surface 26 of the primary mirror 20. The grating 26 of the primary mirror 20 consists of a series of non-intersecting shallow grooves etched into the concave reflective surface of the metallic substrate of the mirror 20. Holographic surface grating fabrication consists of a material preparation process and two exposure steps. First, a photoresist such as Shipley AZ1350B is coated on the desired substrate. For beam samplers, the substrate consists of the reflective surface at which the surface grating will sample the incident beam. In the next step, a coherent exposure (at 441.6 nm, for example) records the required interference pattern in the photoresist layer. In the developing process, Shipley AZ developer is used to remove photoresist at a rate determined by the local exposure of the photoresist layer. The interference pattern is therefore recorded as a surface relief pattern in the developed photoresist. As a result, all the photoresist is etched away in heavily exposed areas and very little is removed in lightly-exposed areas. This photoresist pattern then serves as a mask for the second exposure step, in which an ion beam etches the surface grating into the underlying reflective layer.
The efficiency of the final grating is determined by the depth and profile of the ion-etched grooves in the substrate. This profile is, in turn, highly dependent on the profile of the photoresist grating mask. Because these gratings consist of lines comparable to wavelength dimensions, good process control of each step is essential.
Typical experimental parameters for layers of photoresist and substrate are shown in Table 1. In general, the photoresist can be either spin-coated or dip-coated onto the substrate. The volatile solvent in the photoresist solution liquifies the material for application to the substrate. After coating, the photoresist is dried at 70�-80� C. to remove all volatile solvents, which can cause variations in sensitivity.

Spin-coating is a method whereby the liquid photoresist is deposited on the substrate and the substrate is spun at a constant speed to produce a uniform coating. The variables which determine the photoresist thickness are the initial photoresist concentration and the spin rate. With dip-coating the substrate is extracted from a solution of photoresist at a constant rate ("dip-drawing") or the substrate is held stationary while the solution is drained away ("dip-draining"). The variables which determine the thickness in this case are the photoresist concentration and the pull rate or drain rate. Some typical thickness data are shown in Table 2.
Although these results are repeatable under similiar conditions, the thickness depends on the surface conditions as well as the size of the substrate. Therefore, representative films for each batch of material prepared were always measured by a Dektac machine to obtain accurate thickness information. For the most part, photo-resist thicknesses in the range of 2500 to to 3500 A were used. This initial thickness determines the depth to which the reflective substrate can be etched in the ion-beam machining exposure.

After being applied to the substrate, the photoresist is exposed to the interference of two construction beams. The groove locations are thus defined by the maxima or minima of the interference pattern produced by the two mutually coherent wavefronts of the construction beams. In the preferred embodiment, the grooves follow curved lines and their spacing (period) varies with position.
The process by which these gratings are fabricated is described more fully in an interim report published by the Rome Air Development Center in March of 1979. See "Holographic Grating Study-Hughes Aircraft Company" RADC-TR-78-279, Vol. 1. This publication is incorporated herein by reference.
It is well known to those skilled in this art that when a holographic grating is illuminated with a coherent wavefront (i.e. laser beam), part of the incident beam is unaffected by the grating and is reflected from the substrate as a zeroth order of diffraction. A small fraction of the incident energy is lost to absorption and random scattering in the grating. The remaining energy is diffracted by the grating into the various non-zero orders that can exist according to a grating equation.
The fraction of incident energy diffracted into a single specified order is given by the diffraction efficiency for that order. Diffraction efficiency is a function of several parameters including the depth, shape, and period of the grooves as well as the wavelength, angle of incidence, and polarization of the incident beam. As the preferred embodiment was designed for high energy laser applications, a low diffraction efficiency holographic grating utilizing a first order of diffraction was etched upon the metallic substrate of the primary mirror 20.
While it is understood that the present invention is particularly well suited for high energy laser applications, it is contemplated that the principles thereof may be employed in low energy laser applications as well.
The zeroth order beam from a holographic grating, in this case the main beam 12, is unaffected, that is, undistorted by the presence of the grating. In addition, the diffracted beam, in this case the sample beam, is a true phase replica of the incident wavefront. This property of holographic gratings is responsible for the low power wavefront sample beam 22 which accurately maps the phase and relative amplitude distributions of the main beam 12.
As shown in FIG. 1, the sample beam 22 passes through the aperture 21 in the secondary mirror 18 to a convex lens 28. The lens 28 collimates the sample beam 22 with the pilot or reference beam 24. The pilot beam 24 is emitted by an inertially stabilized source 30. The pilot beam 24 is coaxially aligned to the primary mirror 20 in its nominal on-axis pointing configuration and is steered off-axis, during dynamic operation, in the desired direction. The desired direction is established by some other means such as by operative command from a tracker. The pilot beam establishes a reference for tilt (LOS) control. The pilot beam 24 is tagged or modulated so that it can be discriminated from the sample beam 22 by the sensor package 32. Lens 28 directs the collimated sample beam 22, and reference beam 24, to the sensor package 32. The central ray of the main beam 12 is filtered out by an aperture (not shown) in the deformable mirror 14 which allows it to pass to an absorbing material (not shown) or by other suitable techniques.
The sensor package 32 includes an error sensing unit 34, a line-of-sight correction circuit 36, a wavefront error correction circuit 38, a beam steering mirror driving circuit 40, and a mirror figure driving circuit 42.
Tilt and wavefront error detection can be accomplished by any of several known techniques. FIG. 2 shows the tilt and wavefront error detection mechanisms of the error sensing unit 34 of by the preferred embodiment. Rays of the sample beam 22 are collimated to the reference beam 24 by the lens 28 and directed to a beam splitting mirror 48. The beam splitting mirror 48 splits the sample beam 22 and the reference beam 24 so that each beam is directed to the wavefront sensor 50 and the tilt error detector 52 via the lens 54.
The wavefront sensor 50 is shown diagrammatically as a Hartmann sensor. Any suitable wavefront sensor (i.e., shearing interferometer) could be used without departing from the scope of the present invention.
As discussed by John W. Hardy in "Active Optics: A New Technology for the Control of Light" in Proceedings of the IEEE, Vol. 66, pp. 691, June 1978, the Hartmann sensor 50 uses a plurality of lenses 56, mirrors and prisms (not shown) in combination with an array of quadrant detectors to provide direct wide bandwidth wavefront slope measurement in the image plane. The lens of the Hartmann sensor 50 divides the incoming beams 22 and 24 into a number of subapertures in which the dominant wavefront distortion is a first order tilt. In the detector plane 58 of the Hartmann sensor 50, one quadrant detector (not shown) is provided for each lens 56 which measures the local tilts of the wavefronts of beams 22 and 24. The wavefront correction circuit 38 includes circuitry such as a microprocessor which reconstructs the wavefront measured by the sensor 50 by effecting a two-dimensional spatial integration of the array of phase differences that define the local slope of the wavefront in two dimensions.
Control signals generated by the wavefront correction circuit 38 are converted and amplified by the mirror figure driving circuit 42 to provide corrective driving signals for the deformable mirror 14.
Lens 52 focuses the sample beam 22 and the reference beam 24 on the detector array 54. The reference beam 24 may be modulated or tagged by some other suitable technique to make it distinguishable from the sample beam 22. The detector array 54 is coupled to the LOS correction circuit 36.
The LOS correction circuit 36 includes circuitry such as a plurality of bandpass filters or demodulators and a microprocessor to distinguish the sample beam 22 from the reference beam 24 and generate LOS error correction signals indicative of the spatial separation of the two beams. These signals are converted and amplified by the conventional circuitry of beam steering mirror driver 40 to generate actuating signals for the beam steering mirror 16.
The signals generated by the LOS correction circuit 36 actuate the beam steering mirror so that the main beam 12 and the resulting sample beam 22 are driven until the sample beam 22 is focused on the same point on the detector array 54 as the reference beam 24.
The package design shown in FIG. 1 is merely representative of a system that could be employed to realize the advantageous teachings of the present invention. Any suitable sensor package could be employed without departing from the true spirit and scope of this invention.
In operation, the chief rays of the main beam 12 from a source (not shown) are directed to and deflected by the deformable mirror 14 to the beam steering mirror 16. The beam steering mirror 16 directs the beam 12 to the secondary mirror 18. The secondary mirror 18 deflects the beam 12 to the primary mirror 20. A full aperture first order wavefront sample 22 of the main beam 12 is diffracted from the holographic grating 26 on the primary mirror 20 through the aperture 21 in the secondary mirror 18 to lens 28. The zeroth order component of the main beam 12 is directed toward the target by the primary mirror 20. Lens 28 focuses the sample beam 22 on the target 34 of the sensor package 32.
A reference beam 24 is directed from a source 30 through the aperture 21 in the secondary mirror 18 to the lens 28. The lens 28 focuses the sample beam 22 and the reference beam 24 on the target 34 of the sensor package 32.
A line-of-sight error in the main beam 12 would be represented in the sample beam 22. This would be detected by the error sensing circuit 34 in the manner discussed above. An error signal would then be transmitted from the error sensing circuit 34 to the LOS error correction circuit 36. The LOS correction circuit 36 would then generate the directional signal input to the beam steering mirror actuator driving circuit 40. The LOS error correction loop would be completed by the path 44 between the beam steering mirror driver 40 and the actuators (not shown) of the beam steering mirror 16.
Similarly, since the holographic sample beam 22 accurately maps the phase and relative amplitude distributions of the main beam 12, the sample beam 22 provides the instantaneous wavefront profile of the main beam 112. As discussed above, wavefront errors are detected by the error sensing circuit 34 and input to the wavefront error correction circuit 38. The corrective control signals generated by the wavefront correction circuit 38 are transmitted to the mirror figure control circuit 42. Appropriate control signals are transmitted to the actuators (not shown) of the deformable mirror 14 via path 46 to correct the wavefront aberrations of the main beam 12.
Nominal values for the system parameters are tabulated below.

Even though the present invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. The principles of the present invention may be employed to secure the advantages thereof in a manner that is obvious to those having ordinary skill in the art.
For example, the principles of the present invention may be adapted to meet the requirements of any application where a coherent wavefront must be precisely aligned toward a target area. In addition, the deformable mirror of this invention may be replaced by any reflective surface which provides control of the contour of the reflective surface without departing from the principles disclosed herein.
Furthermore, the holographically grated primary mirror could be replaced by a flat non-grated mirror or a mangun mirror (a mirror having a diffracting lens on its surface). Moreover, the sample beam could be diffracted to a detector that is not coaxial with the primary mirror. And, as mentioned above, the specific design of the sensor package, is not critical.
It is therefore comtemplated by the appended claims to cover these and any other modifications and embodiments which constitute the essential features of this invention.

- Nice historical water front placemineko143Dined on 8/17/2013I have been to the restaurant a few times over the many years of it's existence. It is a historical restaurant nestled on the Oakland Riviera. It has a friendly atmosphere and serves good food. Whether you are there for brunch or dinner I have always enjoyed my meal. We sat next to the window over looking the many yachts that are docked near by the restaurant. As the sunset started...It made for a very calming and romantic dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulnicknameDined on 8/16/2013Enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost always goodKarenTVIPDined on 8/13/2013The balsamic vinaigrette is AMAZING! The garlic cheese bread is delicious. About 50% of their food is perfect. For the other 50%, let's have an example, shall we? I don't understand the Doo-Dah at all. Those vegetables do not match the Mexican style accompaniments. It was just, plain strange.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious and amazing service.GKrewDined on 8/4/2013We (7 of us) went here after an A's game for my Sister's birthday. We made reservations for 6 pm but the game ended at 4. We arrived at 4:30 and asked if there was room to sit then. They accomodated us gladly. The service was very professional and attentive. The food was amazing and large portions! We will be going back when in the area!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent menu and food. VeryBelgianBeerDined on 8/4/2013Excellent menu and food. Very nice staff. Will definitely go again.Special Features:
- Worth a tripCorkyDined on 7/31/2013We found this restaurant when we stayed nearby a few years ago. Now we plan our Bay Area trips around eating here. While close to the Nimitz freeway (880) they are in the middle of a marina with a view of Coast Guard Island. The sunsets can be spectacular. I love their varied seafood menu-from Paella and lobster lasagna to shrimp salads. My husband likes their steaks and the Cobb salad with chicken. We had planned to try some other restaurants this year, but after one try, we plan to go back every night and will have sampled everything I want to try. Do try their mixed green salad, they add a fruit garnish that is always fresh and tasty. There is a pub upstairs with almost the same menu. We have not been there.Special Features:
- Quick DinnerGoHereNowVIPDined on 7/25/2013After a long day of traveling I stopped in for a quick dinner. I'm sure Quinn's is more energetic on a sunny day when all the boats are coming in. Still, there was a pirate band playing upstairs in the bar. Looked like a fun time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still peanut shells on the floorOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/23/2013Sports bar upstairs overlooking the sailboats in the estuary. Salted peanuts to shell. Same menu downstairs. Historic lighthouse. I had the soft shelled crab & coconut shrimp salad special - yum. Good list of beers. Full bar. Didn't have dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Saturday on the RooftopOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/29/2013I made reservations for three but we showed up with four and they were perfectly accommodating. They sat us downstairs in a nice, old-timey room right by the windows overlooking the water. My grandfather arrived ahead of us and got a spot on the roof. He came down to find us and brought us up to his table. I'm glad he did. There are peanuts on the floor, wide umbrellas, beautiful views. All of the portions were huge! None one mentioned if their food was amazing but I think everyone enjoyed what they ordered and they certainly got a lot of it. The upstairs filled up and people were happy to take our spots when we left. We got there at noon and there were just a few people. By 1:30, it was packed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, attentive serviceElDoughDined on 6/24/2013The food was great, didn't mind the peanut shells on floor. Second time I have been here and the leftovers made the perfect lunch for work the next day. Wife loves the clam chowder and I find the appetizer menu and the Doo Daahs to be enjoyably delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I'm not cake lover but Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place!AllisonpbDined on 6/11/2013We were visiting the Bay Area and looking for a place near our hotel. We found Quinn's a mile down the street and were pleasantly surprised. The service was great, the view was nice, and the seafood Alfredo was the best I've ever had. In fact, it was so good that we returned the day after and i ordered the exact same thing! It was just as good as the first time. It was really cool to learn the history of the building also. We will miss visiting Quinn's when we get home. Highly recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dining with a viewseefood1Dined on 6/7/2013Great place for casual dining in a restaurant with a great view, parking easy too. I prefer the lunch menu as the dinner menu doesn't change much and the food is average. The upstairs sports bar is fun and very casual. It has energy and happy feeling.Special Features:
- always incredible food. ThebrunchVIPDined on 5/20/2013always incredible food. The shrimp and prawn salad and the tomato caprese salad are fantastic. The French Dip is more like Chicago Beef but it is GREATSpecial Features:
- Mixed reviewRenaDined on 5/17/2013This was my first time at Quinn's Lighthouse. We were celebrating a coworker's birthday and it was his suggestion. We had lunch in the pub. I liked the ambience. I love the idea of eating the peanuts and tossing the shells on the floor! Well, we quickly ran out of peanuts. The service was terrible! Our waiter must have taken a break and didn't have a backup. We had to ask other busy wait staff for everything (including set ups after our food came, and refills of drinks). Even though we were celebrating a birthday, we weren't offered dessert. The poor service was very upsetting! The food was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed their choices. So, I will try again and hope the service is better.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Only two out of four mealsOpenTable Diner Since 2003VIPDined on 5/13/2013Only two out of four meals were acceptably edible tonight. My Mom's chicken parmesan plate was totally unappetizing...dry, bare pasta?!!! My Dad's seafood Newburg was too salty. He has been talkiing about how much he would love to find a restaurant that serves itt again, 'cause you just can't find it offered any more So I brought him here specifically because I know that Quinn's has it on the menu. He got all happily excited when he read it and exclaimed, "I know what I'm having!" Needless to say, he was disappointed. Worst of all, it was his birthday. With Mom not eating her dinner at all, and Dad no longer excited about his, you can imagine it was not a Happy Birthday.
- A nice Mother's Day luncheonSparklePlentyDined on 5/12/2013I came here with 3 other women for Mother's Day. We got a table right by the window and were very pleased. Our food arrived promptly & hot, despite it being busy. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was pleasant, and everyone had a lovely time! I order the half-bucket of mussels New England-style every time I come, and once again, I was not disappointed. Overall, it was a very nice experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not ImpressedFeedupDined on 5/12/2013Went here for Mother's Day, my wife ordered an Arnold Parmer which tasted like it only had tea only. Our waiter didn't seem to agree because he had made it personally himself. So she ordered a sprite, he returned with 2 sprites one for her and one for me. I was drinking Coke. The waiter at the other table made them aware of todays specials. Our waiter never acknowleged our thank you's or mentioned any specials. My wifes food was ok but my omlete advertised shrimp, chicken and sausage. I received 2 small shrimp,1 small chunck of chicken and sausage. I also found mixed in my red potatoes a sku# lable from a local farmer. I didn't mention this to our waiter because he was already upset about the Arnold Palmer situation. I won't be back.Special Features:
- Nice pre Mothers Day dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/11/2013Food and service was very good. Host did not very friendly or engaging.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

They also had a good selection of specials. We all enjoyed our food very much. My wife thought her fish and chips could have been better. The fish was just a little chewy, though her chips were delicious.Special Features:
- A sparkly gemOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/30/2013We were visiting from out of town and wanted to find somewhere to take my sister-in-law for her birthday. What a great find! Ambience at sunset was delightful and all five entrees were delicious. Our waiter noticed us giving cards and brought a hefty piece of delicious cake with birthday candle at the end of the meal. We will go back next visit and suspect our relatives will now have a new go-to spot for family gatherings.Special Features:
- Awesome Place to Eat and Enjoy!OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/20/2013Quinn's Lighthouse and Pub was a great place to eat.

We will absolutely dine there again, the brunch menu looks great too and would love to see the view during the day.Special Features:

- Quinn's on the water/2 places in onOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/23/2013Quinn's is a special place in a different setting. From directions it seemed it may be a little tricky to find but was anything but that. A very nice setting right next to the water with boat slips all around. Even though pretty close to freeway it was really peaceful.Quinn's is really 2 places in one, the lower level is a nice dining area with great views and upstairs is a pub where you can eat peanuts and throw them on the floor and on nice days you can eat and or drink outside. The menu covers a variety of food, mostly seafood and same menu is ordered from at both levelsSpecial Features:
- Good homey food. Big platesOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 2/23/2013Good homey food. Big plates at reasonable prices. Survers very busy, but attentive. Upstairs for younger crowd and downstares for families. Very friendly staff.Special Features:

Wilkinson Eyre resubmits Brighton tower but risks fresh row with no height reduction
Wilkinson Eyre has resubmitted radically scaled back plans ( pictured) for its £235 million Brighton Marina development.The architect has significantly altered its plans for the project - but a 40-storey tower remains intact, it was announced this morning. Brighton & Hove City councillors overturned officers' recommendations in November to reject the scheme, citing the project's density, as well as its leisure and parking provision. But now Wilkinson Eyre has made an attempt to appease the council by removing three buildings from the original plan, and including more sports areas and parking. However, the architect has not reduced the height of the scheme's tower, claiming this was not one of the reasons the project was originally rejected. Some locals believed that arcane legislation in the form of the 1968 Brighton Marina Act could prevent developer Brunswick from building above the height of Brighton's cliffs. But Brunswick has taken legal advice to 'prove' that it is allowed to do this with special dispensation from the local authority. Brunswick will continue to pursue an appeal against the decision on the previous scheme, an objection currently being considered by the planning inspectorate. The scheme's density has been cut by 25 per cent, with the number of units cut from 988 to 853. Wilkinson Eyre director Jim Eyre said: 'Our design aims to create a dynamic environment for people to live, work and visit.' by Rob Sharp
