The present invention relates to a reconnaissance system comprising an air-borne vehicle moving by rotating about its longitudinal axis.
It is known that aerial reconnaissance systems, which employ optical filming means (in the visible or infrared domain) adapted to be embarked on board a vehicle (such as a reconnaissance aircraft or missile) may either employ the illumination of the landscape when the luminous power is strong, or pick up the infrared energy radiated by the landscape or the targets to be surveyed. These filming means are essentially of three types, namely:
photographic equipment which gives, in the visible or near infrared domain, instantaneous images of a portion of the territory surveyed, but which necessitates either the return of the vehicle to its base, or the development and read-out of the photographic cliches on board the vehicle before transmission by radioelectric waves towards said base. Apart from the fact that such equipment requires considerable illumination of the target in order to give usable cliches, it also obliges the vehicle to be stabilized during filming, unless it is of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,143,048 adapted to be mounted on board a missile moving by rotating about its axis. In this prior known system, the speed of advance of the photographic film of a panoramic camera is controlled by the rotation of the missile. This system therefore presents the other drawbacks of the photographic equipment mentioned above, and cannot be adapted to infrared detection in the spectral band included between 8 μm and 12 μm ;
television cameras which give a succession of images obtained by a line and column scanning of a detector or a mosaic of detectors and which require good stabilization to ensure overlap of images taken at successive instants (generally every 1/25 second);
scanning systems which simply effect a line scanning, the displacement of the vehicle giving the succession of the lines. Such systems may comprise a stabilized platform and a mirror rotating at high speed to form the scanning lines. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,721,410, they may also comprise a detector rigidly fixed to the wall of the vehicle, which is then subjected to a rotation about its longitudinal axis. It is obvious that the scanning systems incorporating a rotating mirror necessitate considerable stabilization during filming. The scanning systems incorporating fixed detector and rotating vehicle impose on said vehicle a very high speed of rotation (for example 200 revolutions per second) for line scanning effected by the detector to be similar to that of a television image. This results in that, in this latter type of scanning system, the vehicle can only be a sort of shell not having a long flying range and not able to carry a high payload.
Thus, none of the known systems is adapted to make a reconnaissance of long duration over enemy territory which, in order to be carried out efficiently, with a low probability of interruption by the enemy defence, necessitates using a reconnaissance vehicle capable of considerable manoeuvrability and having a long flying range. In fact, to escape the enemy defence, the vehicle must make manoeuvres of short duration and high acceleration, which is impossible for a vehicle of the shell type or for vehicles having to ensure considerable stabilization for the filming means in order to obtain clear images or a scanning with exactly juxtaposed lines.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome the drawbacks of the systems mentioned above and it relates to a reconnaissance system which is capable of considerable manoeuvrability and long flying range.
To this end, according to the invention, the reconnaissance system comprising an aerial vehicle capable of moving above a territory to be surveyed by rotating about its longitudinal axis, means for taking images disposed on board said vehicle to observe said territory by a helicoidal scanning in relation with the rotation of said vehicle by means of sensitive members rotating with said vehicle and creating electrical signals representative of said images, is noteworthy in that said vehicle is of the self-propelled missile type and said sensitive members are formed by at least one linear assembly of photosensitive elements disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of said missile.
At each instant during which they are directed towards the territory, said sensitive members thus take the image of an elementary strip of this territory whose length is parallel to the path of the missile. Further to the rotation of the latter about its longitudinal axis, this elementary strip scans a wide strip of territory, of direction transverse to said path, i.e. upon each revolution of the missile about its axis, said sensitive members scanning, during part of this revolution, said wide strip of territory instead of scanning only a line as in the case of the system of U.S. Pat. No. 3,721,410. The vehicle of the system according to the invention may therefore rotate much less quickly than the vehicle of the latter system, and, consequently, may be constituted by a manoeuvrable self-propelled missile with long flying range, and not by a shell.
Furthermore, it will be noted that there is a fundamental difference in the formation of the images according to U.S. Pat. No. 3,721,410 and according to the present invention. In fact, in this prior Patent, the rotation of the vehicle creates lines transverse to the axis thereof and the advance of said vehicle produces the succession of said lines and therefore the continuous formation of the image. On the other hand, with the system according to the invention, the image of each elementary strip of territory of direction parallel to the advance of the vehicle recorded at a given instant by said linear assembly of photosensitive elements forms a line; in this case, it is thus the rotation of the vehicle which creates the succession of the lines to form a partial image of the territory corresponding to a wide strip thereof of direction transverse to the advance of the vehicle, this advance then being responsible for the succession of the successive partial images.
According to the invention, the total image of the territory to be surveyed is thus constituted by the juxtaposition of a plurality of partial images succeeding one another further to the advance of said missile, each of said partial images being constituted by lines which succeed one another further to the rotation of said missile about its axis.
In order further to increase the length of said elementary strip, and therefore to reduce the speed of rotation of the missile, said sensitive members advantageously comprise an arrangement of a plurality of these linear assemblies of photosensitive elements disposed in alignment parallel to said longitudinal axis of the missile. Each of said assemblies of an arrangement may be provided with its own optics, said optics being adjusted so that the images of the elementary strips of territory given by said linear assemblies of the arrangement are juxtaposed without discontinuity or overlap, so that said arrangement furnishes an image formed by the juxtaposition of the images of said assemblies.
In order to be able to reduce still further the speed of rotation of the missile, a plurality of such arrangements are preferably provided, angularly offset about the longitudinal axis of said missile. In this way, each revolution of the missile furnishes the images of as many wide strips of territory as there are arrangements of photosensitive assemblies in said plurality.
The optics of the linear assemblies of photosensitive elements are advantageously of the type with focal length variable as a function of the angle of roll of the missile and the altitude thereof.
The missile may be remotely controlled from a station located outside the territory to be surveyed. However, it is preferable if the mission of the missile, including its different flight conditions and changes of flight conditions, be effected independently and automatically from a pre-established program embarked on board the missile, the latter comprising in known manner the pick-ups or sensors necessary for the cycle of said program.
The missile may comprise a HF emitter and in that case a ground station is provided which receives, via said on-board emitter, the signals of images coming from the photosensitive elements and the signals coming from the different pick-ups or sensors giving flight parameters (speed, altitude, instantaneous angle of roll, etc.). In this way, the images may be reconstituted on the ground, outside the territory observed, by exploiting the data furnished by said photosensitive elements and pick-ups.
The invention will be more readily understood on reading the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 show, in side view and plan view respectively, a reconnaissance missile for the system according to the invention.
FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a detection assembly mounted on said missile.
FIG. 4 shows the block diagram of the piloting control and information acquisition device mounted on board the reconnaissance missile.
FIG. 5 shows the block diagram of the data restitution device located outside the territory surveyed, generally on the ground.
FIG. 6 illustrates the principle of aerial reconnaissance effected by the system according to the invention.
FIGS. 7 and 8 show two variants of the unit for restitution on film of the images taken by the reconnaissance missile.
FIG. 9 schematically shows a film obtained by the units of FIGS. 7 and 8.
In these Figures, like references designate like elements.
Referring now to the drawings, the embodiment of missile 1, used in the system according to the invention and shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, is of the self-propelled type, possibly recoverable and is capable of making manoeuvres with a high load factor, whilst having, during filming, a substantially horizontal speed and by rotating on itself about its longitudinal axis L--L at an adjustable angular speed. To this end, the missile 1 comprises wings 2, a stabilizer 3, elevators 4, a rudder 5 and a propulsion system 6.
Inside the missile 1 are provided:
a guiding and piloting device 7 which controls the manoeuvres of said missile and defines the path from a program and on-board sensors, such as an inertial platform and accelerometers (not shown) which also enable the images to be reconstituted;
an assembly 8 comprising a HF emitter and a data storage device, provided in particular with omnidirectional antennas 9 (cf. FIG. 5) to transmit the data to the ground;
an optical part 10 provided with electronic means necessary for elaborating the data. This optical part 10 comprises for example nine identical detection assemblies 11, distributed in three arrangements 12 of three assemblies 11. The three assemblies 11 of an arrangement 12 are aligned parallel to the axis L--L of the missile 1 and the three arrangements 12 are distributed equally about said axis L--L, so that they are offset by 120� with respect to one another about said axis.
FIG. 3 shows in an exploded view one of said detection assemblies 11. As may be seen, each assembly 11 comprises:
a window 13 adapted to blank an opening 14 of corresponding shape provided in the wall 15 of the missile 1 and to protect the optics from the outside medium; when the detection assembly operates in infrared mode, the window 13 may be made of germanium, since this matter is transparent to infrared radiation;
an inlet lens 16;
an optical unit 17 constituted by lenses of which at least one is movable under the action of a motor 18, in order to vary the focal distance of said assembly 11. The motor 18 is controlled by the order generator 28 of the device 8;
an outlet lens 19;
a filter 20 for selecting the frequency band of the radiation desired for the photosensitive elements and which preferably corresponds to a wave length of between 8 μm and 12 μm ;
photosensitive elements 21 disposed in the form of one or more bars, for example two, aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis L--L of the missile 1; each bar may comprise a plurality (for example 128) of photosensitive elements which are each constituted for example by semiconducting areas of Cd-Hg or Pb-Sn telluride of some tens of μm, in the event of operating in the 8-12 μm band;
a support 22 for the or each bar serving, moreover, as connecting network therefor;
an assembly of cables 23 for connecting said support 22 and preamplifiers 24;
an assembly 24 of preamplifiers and the electronics associated therewith whose purpose is to amplify successively the signals issuing respectively from the photosensitive elements of the bars 21 read sequentially; and
a cooling unit 25 provided with a finger 26 in contact with bars 1 and assembly 24 to place the detectors and preamplifiers at the optimum operational temperature.
As may be seen in FIG. 4, the on-board electronic data acquisition assembly 8 comprises a measuring centre 27 in connection with an order generator 28 which, thanks to the measurements furnished by on-board pick-ups and sensors 29, controls both the control surfaces 4, 5 of the missile 1 via the guiding and piloting device 7 and the focal length of the optics 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 via the motors 18. The electronic assembly 8 further comprises a processing unit 30 which shapes the signals that it receives from assemblies 11, thanks to the indications of the measuring centre 27 and sends them to a storage device 31, for example employing magnetic tape, and to a HF emitter 32, which, by antennas 9, transmits them to an exploiting station 33 located outside the territory surveyed and which may present the structure of which the block diagram has been given in FIG. 5. Such an exploiting station 33 is provided with a receiving antenna 34 and the HF receiver 35 adapted to furnish to a restitution unit 36, after processing in a unit 37, the elements enabling the images of the zone surveyed by the missile 1 to be reconstituted. Moreover, the station 33 may comprise a device 38 for storing the data received, as well as a display console 39. In the processing unit 37, the image signals issuing from the detectors 21 are separated from the measurements of speed, angle of roll and angle of attack issuing from sensors 29. These image signals are used for a line modulation either in the restitution unit 36 or at the display console 39, whilst said measurements serve to specify the position and length of the line, i.e. they control the electronic or optical deflectors or the mechanical displacements.
The missile 1 is thus provided with optics 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 disposed on its periphery and grouped in planes passing through its longitudinal axis L--L and capable of giving at each instant the image of a narrow strip of land of direction parallel to said axis L--L. The three optics of an assembly 12 are adjusted for the three corresponding images to lie end to end and aligned parallel to said axis L--L so as to give the single image of an elementary strip of land of which the length is the sum of the lengths of the three individual strips of land. The images of the strips of land are collected by a plurality 21 of the photosensitive elements aligned in the focal plane of said adjustable optics and capable of converting these images into electrical signals. Thanks to the sensors 29, the position and angle of roll of the missile 1 is known at each instant, so that it is possible, thanks to these sensors, to reconstitute the image in station 33, after transmission of the different data by the emitter 32.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, at the moment of filming, the missile 1 follows a horizontal path 40 above the terrain 41 to be surveyed. It is animated by a rotation on itself about its axis L--L and, at a given instant, the assemblies of detectors 11 of an arrangement 12 recording the image of an elementary strip of land 42, parallel to the displacement. If each detection assembly 11 comprises n photosensitive elements and if each arrangement 12 comprises p detection assemblies 11, the image of the elementary strip of land 42 is formed by N=n�p dots.
Rotation of missile 1 about its axis L--L enables the land 41 to be scanned and a succession of images of strips 43, transverse to the path 40 and constituted by elementary strips or lines 42 is thus recorded. Upon every half-revolution of the missile 1, there is thus a complete scanning of a strip 43 of large extent, defined laterally by angle ψ1 and longitudinally by angle ψ2.
Angle ψ2 is determined by the number p of assemblies 11 of arrangements 12 and by the number n of the photosensitive elements of each assembly 11, as well as by the altitude of the missile 1.
For practical reasons, the angle ψ1 is advantageously limited to 120�. It is then advantageous to provide three arrangements 12 at 120� on the periphery of missile 1, so that, upon every third of revolution thereof, an image of a strip 43 is obtained.
With a missile 1 flying at 500 m altitude at a speed of 260 m/s, making rolls of 10 g at the period of 2 seconds and equipped with three arrangements 12 of three detection assemblies 11 each provided with 128 photosensitive elements, whose elementary opening is 0.92 mRad, each image of a band 43 is taken in 2/3 second and covers about 175 m vertically with respect to missile 1 and 350 m at an angle of �60� for a length of about 1700 m. The image of such a strip is constituted by about 2300 lines (each line being constituted by an elementary image 42) of 128�3=384 dots, so that the definition of the image of the strip 43 is about 900,000 dots.
FIG. 7 schematically shows a restitution unit 36 at the exploiting station 33. As stated above, restitution necesitates prior processing in unit 37 with a view in particular to separating signals coming from the photosensitive elements 21 from the parameters defining the movement of the missile. The restitution unit 36 comprises a laser source 44, for example a helium-neon laser, furnishing a light beam 44a, transmitted to a modulator 45, of the electro-optical or electro-acoustic type, in which it is modulated by a signal coming from the processing unit 37, proportionally to the light intensity received by the photosensitive elements 21. The modulated beam 44b which results therefrom passes through an afocal optical system 46 which magnifies it laterally. The magnified beam 44c then passes through a horizontal deflection cell 47, for example of the acousto-optical type, controlled by a saw-tooth signal whose period corresponds to the read-out of the plurality of photosensitive detectors of zones 42. The deflection cell 47 is followed by an optical correction system 48, then an optical focussing system 49, so that the focalized light beam 44d forms on a film 50 advancing at a speed proportional to the roll of the missile, a modulated light spot of small dimensions which forms an image representative of the successive zones 43.
FIG. 8 shows a variant embodiment similar to FIG. 7 except that the deflection cell 47 and the optical correction system 48 have been eliminated. In this variant, the displacement along a line is controlled by a rotating mirror 51, interposed on the light beam between the optical focussing system 49 and the film 50. In this case, the latter must be driven proportionally to the angle of roll in the longitudinal direction R (FIG. 9).
Correction signals issuing from the measurements of angle of attack and of side-slip of the missile may slightly modify the axis of the rotating mirror or the position of the deflector in order to make the necessary corrections to the resultant image.
The film, once printed, must be developed and projected or displayed to be exploited. Projection devices based on spherical lenses may render the image obtained in accordance with a planimetry of the region observed.
Restitution of images may be effected by purely electronic processes using a cathode-ray tube to display the image. In the same way as before, modulation of a line is controlled by the signals issuing from the bars of detectors 21 and the position of the lines by signals connected with the displacement of the missile and with its instantaneous roll.

Today I posted on a message board lamenting the fact that the cottage foods bill didn't pass here, and I got an interesting email from someone.
He's a volunteer firefighter. He suggested I join his fire department, then make cakes for a donation because as a volunteer I would be allowed to solicit donations for the fire department. His suggestion was that out of the donation, I pay myself for time and supplies, then give part of the money to the department. (His example was sell a cake for $30, keep $10 for supplies and $15 for time and effort, then give $5 to the fire department...his reasoning being that they're desperate for money and $5 going to the fire department would be better than nothing which is what they've got coming in now)
I know making cakes for donations is a no-no when the donations are for yourself. I tried to look it up and it seemed to say that a private kitchen where non hazardous food is prepared for a charitible organization's bake sale is not considered a food establishment and doesn't need to be licensed but I don't know if one cake would be considered a bake sale.
I ordinarily don't have much patience for people looking for loopholes or ways to cheat the system but I'm wondering if this is something that would actually be legal. Besides it would be kinda cool to be a firefighter even a volunteer one.
I really don't see anything wrong with this. It's a great opportunity to make some cakes and raise money for the fire department. It's all positive!

The WFPMA was founded in June 1976 with five main objectives:
Now more than a quarter of a century on, with a membership that represents more than 600,000 people management professionals in over 90 national personnel associations around the world, the WFPMA can point to considerable progress in the achievement of its goals and objectives.
Against a backdrop of rapid globalization and the quest for competitive advantage, there is a growing awareness of the role of professional human resource management in helping to deliver that vital edge through people.
Accordingly, the WFPMA has undertaken research to define HR competencies that are globally meaningful and that should facilitate HR training and development throughout the world, and not least in those countries still at an early stage in establishing professional HR programs.
Meanwhile, members of the longer-established HR associations are increasingly finding value in the lively and still growing professional network of the Federation.
Communications and information exchange are aided by twice-yearly Board meetings, a biennial World Congress, a website, and a newsletter, WorldLink published five times a year.

My Christmas wishes fly to you,
Like lovely snowflakes from the blue,
Spilling gently from my heart,
Falling softly through the dark,
Until they find your candlelight,
Through whispering winds that sing of night.

Blankets of love, where hope has been.
And may your kind and gentle ways,
Be blessed with happy, peaceful days,
Becoming more beautiful with every thought,
Like every flake the earth has caught.

This recipe is adapted from Japanese Soul Cooking, by Tadashi Ono and Harris Salat.
1. Begin by washing, thoroughly drying and trimming an assortment of vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Whole green beans, shishito peppers, sliced Japanese eggplant, small broccoli florets, whole shiso leaves and coins of Japanese sweet potato are all good options. Bite-sized fish-fillet slices, small fish like smelt and halved scallops are also ideal.
Set them on paper towels near your cooking station.
You'll also need 1/2 cup of cake flour in a shallow dish, for dredging, a pair of long chopsticks or tongs, a metal mesh skimmer and a rack or plate covered with newspaper or paper towel, for draining the finished tempura.
2. In a large, heavy pot (an enamelled cast-iron Dutch oven is ideal), heat two inches of vegetable oil and a glug of toasted sesame oil to 360 F. There should be at least a few inches of space remaining in the pot above the oil. Use a deep-fat or candy thermometer to keep the temperature stable.
3. Mix two egg yolks with two cups of ice water in a large bowl and add three ice cubes. Measure out two cups of cake flour and dump it in one shot into the wet ingredients. Holding four chopsticks in your fist, stab at the batter for about 30 seconds until it is just barely mixed. There should be gobs of floating flour still, and flour stuck to the side of the bowl.
4. Working two or three pieces per batch until you have the hang of it, dip the raw ingredients in your cake flour to dredge, then into the batter to coat. Transfer quickly into the hot oil, regulating the temperature at 360 F by increasing and lowering the heat slightly if necessary (do not overreact with the burner or you'll experience huge spikes and drops). If you add too many pieces at once, the oil temperature will plummet.
Harder vegetables take about 3 minutes; softer vegetables and fish 2 minutes or less. They're done when the batter has turned an appealing blond colour and smells slightly nutty.
Remove from oil with chopsticks or tongs, drain for a few seconds, season with flaky sea salt and serve immediately with ten tsuyu dipping sauce (see recipe, below), and lemon wedges for the seafood.
5. Scoop out stray tempura bits with the metal skimmer between batches, and keep on top of your oil temperature. If you've been cooking for more than 25 minutes or so, make a fresh batch of batter. Take a sip of sake. Repeat.
Ten tsuyu dipping sauce
Though this sweet-savoury-salty sauce may look difficult to make, it takes about 10 minutes of active time. The ingredients can be found at any good Asian grocer.
1. Combine four cups of cold water and one large (about 15 centimetre) piece of kombu (dried kelp) in a small pot. Let steep for 30 minutes.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, remove kombu and discard. Add a tablespoon of cold water to the pot to reduce temperature slightly, then add 20 grams (11/2 packed cups) of shaved bonito. Return stock to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for five minutes, skimming any scum that rises to the surface. Turn off heat, steep for 15 minutes, strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Your house smells awesome, right? You now have a dashi.
3. Combine 1 cup of dashi with 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup of mirin in a pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then immediately turn off heat. Reheat when ready to serve, adding a small (4 cm) piece of daikon, finely grated, and a 1 cm piece of peeled ginger, grated, to the sauce to serve.Report Typo/Error

It's extremely important that you keep your PAN Card ready to insert the correct PAN Number. Re-check the PAN Number once again before filing your tax returns.
2) Form 16 issued by the employer
This will help you determine the exact amount of salary income and all other relevant details pertaining to SEC 80C and other tax breaks, the proofs of which have been handed over to the company. An extremely important document if you have salary income.
3) Bank statements/passbook
This will help you know the exact interest income to add from your interest on savings bank account to the total income. Interest on savings account up to Rs 10,000 is currently exempt from Income Tax. However, you must declare the same when filing tax returns.
4) Bank fixed deposits
Also, keep your bank fixed deposits ready, which will help you add interest income from fixed deposits to your total income. Remember, interest from bank deposits has to be added to income to determine tax liability.
5) TDS certificate issued by the bank
You may not need the above, if you have a TDS certificate from the bank, showing the exact amount of tax that has been deducted from your fixed deposits.
6) Form 26 AS
This shows the tax credit you have received from your employer or the bank and is a summary of all the tax you have paid, in the form of TDS. Click here for an article on how to view your tax credits

If you have made donation to an eligible institution you should keep the receipt issued by the institute you donated to and claim tax benefit under SEC 80G. Remember, that the receipt must bear the organisation's PAN number.
8) Sec 80 C documents
Keep all Sec 80C eligible investments like LIC, NSC, PPF handy to claim deductions. You may also include Interest paid on housing loan.

I prefer the natural look or just a little makeup. I don't like it caked on. Kim K is not very pretty and she's a biotch too!. Id give her looks a 7, her body a 4 and her personality a 2. Ill bet I could walk into my local Walmart and pick out 10 women in 10 minutes that's hotter than her-face and body.11|00|0

Mureau Road Pipeline Project
(Update May 15, 2014)
(Update May 15, 2014)The Mureau Road Pipeline Project is Complete
LVMWD thanks everyone for their patience and cooperation during the construction project. The new pipeline will benefit District customers for decades to come.

Work continues on the many "finishing touches" arising from this large-scale project.
Workers are completing the installation of appurtenances, doing final paving and lane striping, replacing concrete curbs and sidewalks and finishing grading in excavation areas.
(Update April 21, 2014)
Traffic Alert – Avoid Mureau Rd. Tuesday, April 22
In order to complete a pipeline tie-in, it will be necessary to restrict the east end (two-lane section) of Mureau Rd. to one lane of traffic on Tuesday, April 22.
Motorists and bicyclists should try to avoid that section of roadway but if it is necessary to travel in that area, expect delays and follow the instructions of flagmen.
(Update April 17, 2014)
During the week of April 21, there will be daytime work at the east end (two-lane section) of Mureau Road that will require lane restrictions. If it is not possible to avoid the area, watch for construction crews and obey the directions of the flagman.
Also during the week of April 21, there will be additional work done on Mureau Road near the entrance to Mountain View Estates.
"Clean-up" work will continue with patches to pavement, sidewalks and curbs. The current (interim) pavement patches are scheduled to be restored to pre-project conditions within the next two weeks.
(Update April 9, 2014)
A major milestone has been reached; the last length of pipe has been installed. Over the next week, the pipeline will undergo testing and appurtenances will be installed.
Beginning the week of April 14, some traffic lane restrictions will be necessary at various times and places, please use caution in work zones and obey the directions of traffic control personnel.
"Clean-up" work will continue and pavement restoration will occur later in the month.
(Update March 27, 2014)
The pipeline installation portion of the project is entering its final stages. Work will continue along Las Virgenes Road and the west end of Mureau Road.
Road users may notice some areas of uneven pavement in patched areas, which are temporary. Pavement will be restored to a smooth condition before the project is complete.
(Update March 20, 2014)
Mureau Road is no longer subject to overnight closure; it is accessible at all times.
Progress continues at the west end of Mureau Road and Las Virgenes Road; overnight lane restrictions will continue as planned.

Mureau Road Daytime Project Hours Change

The "jack and bore" segment of the new pipeline beneath U.S 101 is complete. Work continues with the installation of pipe along Mureau Road during night hours (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.; Monday - Saturday).
Lane restrictions remain in place, even in areas where the pipe has been installed, as it is necessary to conduct tests and add appurtenances to the new line.
If you must use Mureau Road, please proceed with caution and be mindful of workers and equipment in the construction zone.
(Updated January 28, 2014)
The video (below) shows the installation of the new pipeline being installed from the North side of the 101 freeway at Las Virgenes Road to the South side of the freeway. The steel pipe within the casing is being "pushed" through after the "jack and bore" was completed.
(Update January 14, 2014)
Beginning January 21, a section of Mureau Rd will be closed to through traffic between the hours of 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., Monday through Saturday.

As difficult as it may be to believe, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Peterson Family Vineyard may be even better than the Merlot. Glorious notes of forest floor, blackcurrants, blackberries, mocha and espresso emerge from this full-bodied, majestically concentrated wine boasting an expansive, broad texture, stunning purity, a 50-second finish, enormous body, and no sense of overbearing, over-ripeness or heaviness. Alcoholphobes should not be concerned about the wine's 15.5% alcohol content as there is not a trace of heat in the fresh flavors. Drink this beauty over the next 10-15 years.

Sourdough Chicken Pesto Panini
Recipe by my3girlz
I got a new grill pan for the stove and was just trying some things out and this turned out great. I actually grilled the chicken up the night before and then stored it in the fridge until the next afternoon. That way too, it gave me time to let the grill pan cool so I could clean it for the pressing of the sandwich. If you are using a grill pan you will need something heavy to place on top to press it, I used a pot that I just placed a heavy bottle of water into for the weight(Okay it looked a bit strange.. so if you have a panini press go right ahead and use it!, if not this does work!)Also this recipe is for one sandwich, but of course you can double or triple it to meet your needs. You can make your own pesto, but to save time I used store bought.

It's a issue of discovering the right industry experts to use.

Family in Salt Lake City
Hi! I am an easy-going single mother, looking for someone responsible and reliable to get my 11-year-old daughter up in the morning, give her breakfast and get her ready for school, and drive her there. Her school is about a 10-minute drive from our home. Days needed will alternate each week: Mon and Tues one week, then Weds and Thurs the following week. I need someone to arrive at 7 a.m. or a little earlier, and have her at school by 8:25 a.m. There is also the possibility of some extra hours every other Saturday morning, and also the occasional extra weekday if needed. This would be ideal for someone looking to supplement another job, or who has hours available before classes, etc., or who lives nearby and just wants to earn a little extra cash each week. I don't have very many hours to offer, but it's a super easy job, especially if you live close. My daughter is very well-behaved and grown up, and she is unlikely to give you any trouble! I would need this schedule to start in March. Please send a message; I'd love to hear from you! Thank you!

STOCKS of cod in British waters are on the verge of a collapse of the kind that put 40,000 fisherman out of work in Newfoundland in 1992, scientists said yesterday.
Experts from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, which advises EU ministers, said that drastic measures were needed to save stocks and the fishing fleet. These could include wholesale closure of parts of the North Sea next year.
In its worst-ever warning, ICES said that cod stocks were "outside safe biological limits" and that fishing in the North Sea at current rates "is expected to lead to stock collapse".
Elliot Morley, the fisheries minister, said: "The situation is extremely serious. Very tough decisions will have to be made at next month's EU Fisheries Council which decides on the quotas of each species members may catch."
He said: "It is notable that the UK fleet has only been able to catch 60 per cent of its quota this year - simply because the boats have been unable to find the fish. The decisions next month will not only affect the UK's own industry but all other member states which fish the North Sea."
Scientists said that reducing quotas - as happened last year - would not be enough to save the cod. Brendan May, chief executive of the Marine Stewardship Council, said: "Every year we are told that things are getting worse. Does nobody remember the 40,000 jobs lost in Newfoundland in 1992 when that fishery collapsed? That fishery is still closed today."
He said: "Unless Governments take firm action by rewarding sustainable fishing practices and penalising unsustainable ones, thousands of British and European fishermen will be thrown out of work."
There is only one fishery in the world where cod has recovered from the low levels scientists are now recording and that was in the Barents Sea in the 1980s. There the Norwegian Government persuaded fishermen not to fish by paying the mortgages on their houses and their boats.
Norway also banned industrial fishing for capelin, the food of the cod. Neither EU ministers, nor the Treasury are as yet planning any such measures for the North Sea.

When the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced it was awarding the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to the Chinese literary critic and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo, it made special note of his role in writing a remarkable political manifesto called Charter 08. In China, that same document has caused officials to throw him in jail with an 11-year sentence that is extraordinary even by Chinese standards, while taking drastic measures to silence any mention of the text.
But what is Charter 08 and why has it made Liu such a threat to the Chinese government? Perry Link, a Professor of Chinese literature who has worked closely with the Chinese dissidents who wrote the charter with Liu, for the first time brings together a full English translation of this powerful document and an incisive new profile of Liu himself with a series of short essays chronicling his arrest, show-trial, and imprisonment and the crackdown on the Charter 08 movement since its courageous beginnings two years ago. In an epilogue, Link draws on leaked government documents to reveal Beijing's nervous response to the Arab uprisings in the spring of 2011.

This was the question that Chillventa 2016 (Nuremberg, 11-13 October) tried to answer.
Luvata ElectroFin® could not pass up this important biennial tradeshow, as it is one of the most important meeting points for manufacturers and end-users of equipment and machinery for A/C, commercial, refrigeration and industrial applications sectors.
ElectroFin representatives, Mike Powell (Vice-President HTS Coatings Division), Alessandro Fumi (General Manager HTS Coatings EMEA) and Massimo Gregoris (Sales Manager EMEA) had the opportunity to meet with a great number of interested visitors, thanks to a stand located in hall 7A - one of the most visited during this event.
In this occasion the team was able to emphasize the benefits of properly protecting components with ElectroFin® E-coating, as opposed to other types of coating and/or constructive solutions presently on the market and they were also had the chance to illustrated the company's latest accomplishments, such as the product certifications acquired in recent months.
It is important to also underline that ElectroFin coatings are in compliance with the ISO 12944 standards (C5 Industrial and Marine - High durability), and meet with the rigorous requirements in the food processing sectors. Moreover, the specific ElectroFin coatings extend the life of installations without significant performance loss (thermal loss < 1% AHRI 410 certified).
The ElectroFin® treatments can permanently resolve problems resulting from corrosion in aggressive environments and ultimately reduce maintenance costs while retaining the design performance and limiting energy consumption.
The success of ElectroFin is demonstrated by the growing number of customers throughout Europe and also in the Middle East where, thanks to ElectroFin's contribution, major projects have been realized in extreme climate countries: such as the Khalifa Stadium in Doha, hospitals in UAE and important buildings in Oman, Qatar and Kuwait.
This is why the ElectroFin team decided to participate again, after last year's success, to BIG5 in Dubai, an important trade fair for the Middle East region, where a great number of visitors, consultants and manufacturers are expected, also due to the major international events planned for the coming years, Dubai Expo 2020 and the FIFA world Cup in Qatar. ElectroFin will have a significant role as it offers the only permanent solution to corrosion problems.
