Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex
Fort Irwin, California
Goldstone is one of three complexes around the world known as the Deep Space Network (DSN) established to provide the ability to communicate with spacecraft; not only in orbit around the earth, but also in the farther reaches of our solar system. The Deep Space Network complexes, placed 120° apart, provide constant communication with spacecraft as the Earth rotates. In determining the exact position for the site in California, a remote location, free from radio signal interference, was needed. The remote location of the Mojave Desert in California, near the old mining town of Goldstone, was determined to be an optimal location and in 1958 the first antenna was built. Facilities near Madrid, Spain and Canberra, Australia complete the Deep Space Network providing 360 degree coverage for spacecraft tracking.

Sequence similarities between nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphohydrolases (NTPHs) in bacteria and fungi.(A) Multiple sequence alignment of the only three fungal NTPHs in GenBank with those of two bacteria. FGSG_09100, FPSE_06770, BN850_0056610, BN851_0055940 and NECHADRAFT_93899 are sequences from Fusarium graminearum, F. pseudograminearum, F. sp. FIESC5, F. acuminatum and F. solani f. sp. pisi, respectively SPAM21_09323 and A989_00935 are sequences from Salinibacterium sp. strain PAMC21357 and Xanthomonas translucens DAR61454 respectively. (B) Phylogenetic analysis of the NTPH protein sequence found in Fusarium spp. and bacteria. The Fusarium and Xanthomonas clades are shaded with all other sequences from bacteria. Analysis was conducted at phylogeny.fr as detailed in the methods. Numbers on each branch indicate support for that branching based on approximate likelihood ratio tests.
A pre-1930's alignment of Route 66 south of the railroad tracks in Valentine, Arizona.
(You might 'get your kicks' viewing these Route 66 photos in the Set titled ROUTE 66 - ARIZONA 2011 which has the pictures grouped geographically as if traveling west on US-66 through Arizona from the New Mexico border to the California border. Thank you......BAKER 4620)

After a day of hard rock crawling, I shouldn't have been surprised to find my alignment in bad shape.
The moon, mars and venus (not sure, but this is my guess) were lined up tonight.
Wish I had a gorgeous SLR and a tripod so I could capture this properly, but it didn't come out too shabbily for my poor ol' camera (just 'shopped it a bit to make it clearer!)
Ah, technology...
This is an actual installation of DuPont's "Tuscan Stone Bronze" stone-look laminate flooring. To eliminate "grout lines" going without a break from one end of the room to the other, which kills the illusion that it's real stone, some of the "stones" don't have grout lines at the edge of the plank -- they will match up with a similar un-grouted stone on another plank to create bigger, complete stones that extend across planks in both directions, IF YOU LINE THEM UP CORRECTLY! (The horizontal lines in the ovals here are the long edges of the boards. The top board here should move one small block to the left to make a giant 2 x 4 block at the top ellipse; the bottom board should move one block to the right to create a 2 x 2 block.) People, really -- I figured this out from scratch on the second row of the first job I ever did with this.

Shot at the Oceano Dunes, California. Just as I was getting ready to depart, I turned and saw this dancing cloud seemingly standing on its head, directly in alignment with the crest of a dune.

After two days of internet crawl that reminded me of dial-up circa 1995 the techs showed up to realign my antennae.
Here you see Cesar on the roof sighting the antennae with the transmission tower while his assistant looks on.
A couple of contract workers had been out to "upgrade" the antennae about three weeks ago and they apparently left a screw or two loose. The recent upsurge in the wind the past few days was enough to knock it off center.
Everything is working fine now.
I was hoping they would get here earlier in the day while the light was more favorable.
The mountains you see in the background are across the valley from us.
The ladies head towards the tyres

Working on the top part of the sculpt. This gentle curve is incredibly important to the overall look of the helmet.
