In a feat of unmatched strength, one man holds up the power pole while several men hurry to install the lines before he needs to take a break.
I was just getting used to the spelling and pronunciation of Asplundh when the power company switched to using Altec on this job. Altec is also a company that provides equipment and services to power companies and tree companies. I don’t know what they are doing here, but they seemed to be installing orange sleeves on the lines. There was someone holding slow/stop signs at each end of the work zone. When the sign man flashed the Slow sign at me, I asked if I could pull up a little and get out of my car to take a picture. He said yes, but didn’t want me to get any closer to the work zone. Have you ever had people look at you as though you might have a screw loose? I think he was worried about traffic backing up behind me. I had to pass this area in both directions and no cars came through at all. In fact, the sign people were kind of leaning on their signs with a look of boredom on their faces. They might be installing High Speed internet, in which case a lot of people will be keeling over from shock.

Every journey begins with a single step – or in this case a downward trundle.
The ‘egress’ of Europe’s ExoMars 2018 rover off its lander will be the second most stressful moment of the mission after Mars landing.
So to build up experience in the problem, a half-scale rover on a mock-up lander was placed in the outdoor 80 x 50 m ‘Mars Yard’ of France’s CNES space agency for a two-day test on 28–29 October.
It was controlled remotely by a team at ESA’s ESTEC technical centre, a thousand kilometres away in the Netherlands. Watch a timelapse video of the campaign here.
They were given no idea where in the sprawling Mars Yard the rover was located for each test scenario. The only information they had came from cameras and sensors in the rover and lander.
Adding to the difficulty, realtime remote control of the rover was out – the sheer distance to Mars will make it impractical in reality. Instead, they could receive telemetry at regular intervals then send back a to-do list of commands.
For the purposes of testing, these communication passes came once every hour – in reality they would occur once or twice a day.
The team on the ESTEC side came from ESA’s Automation and Robotics section and ExoMars project as well as from industrial partners Trasys Space Belgium, Thales Alenia Space Italy and Altec Italy. The testing was also tracked from ESA’s ESOC control centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
For each egress they worked to build up a detailed virtual model of the rover’s surroundings, as well as stitching together a panorama from the various camera views.
The lander has two sets of ramps down to the surface, so the team had to decide which way down was safer.
A total of five egress tests were performed: four ended in success and one in failure – the rover descended down at too steep an angle and began to topple off. In real life the mission would have ended there, but in this case it was safely caught by helping hands.
The incident demonstrated the importance of simulations, which also allowed the testing of various software tools developed over years of research.
The testing was organised by ESA’s Planetary Robotics Laboratory in cooperation with CNES and ESOC. The results are valuable for designing the actual ExoMars mission.

If you know me, you know that I frequent the local Electronics Recycling dump. Sometimes I find some pretty amazing stuff there. I'm always on the lookout for vintage audio items and sometimes I get lucky. Back in May of this year I was looking for that next Marantz amp & preamp pair, or perhaps some discarded Altec Lansing 19s that someone just didn't want anymore (LOL)... I saw 2 camera bags on the floor, and was ready to ignore them both but something told me to unzip one and look inside. That bag had the Mamiya M645 with a prism finder, waist-level finder, stabilizer grip, 2 Vivitar Auto Thyristor flashes (master / slave) and about a dozen rolls of 120 film, both exposed and unexposed. The film rolls had expiration dates between 1998 and 2000.
The other bag contained, among other things, a Nikon FE (black), a Minolta X-700, some type of Canon P&S, a set of Cokin filters, and various cables for the flashes. Oh and MORE FILM... rolls and rolls of 35MM, all really old, some exposed, some not. The Minolta and the Canon had unfinished rolls in them, the Nikon needs work.
Needless to say both bags came home with me. The spent film has been donated to the Rescued Film Project . I cannot wait to see what, if anything, is on those rolls! My imagination is going crazy, but I've got to be patient. I highly recommend that you take a spin around the Rescued Film website, it's an amazing collection of lost images, I can't tell you how much I love their mission! I signed an agreement with the donation form stating that I would not publish anything that they give me, so sadly I won't be able to share them here. You could always come over for a beer and look on my computer screen with me though, I'll let you know when they're ready (it may take a year or more).
My daughter and I have been shooting all of the unexposed rolls and loving the results. Some of this expired film has held up amazingly well! I'll post some here on my flickr stream and also on my Instagram (johnfromtheradio). As a general rule we halved the ISO for every decade since it expired and processed it normally. There's interesting color shifts and some really cool splotches and flares. Fun stuff. I shot what was left of the 120 film in the Mamiya, she's going through the 35MM stuff.
Incidentally, the bags contained several business cards of the (presumed) previous owner. He was an IT guy (so he must be pretty awesome) and the cards included his SKY pager number, so that shows how long it's been since he worked at the company listed. I tried the main number, it is disconnected. I'm hesitant to page him LOL.

@Riverbend, Cincinnati Vans Warped Tour 2010. Got vip for the day, got to go inside 2 hours before the gate opened. After the gates did open. I went straight to the Altec Stage to see Pierce The Veil, so the 1st band that played was You Me At Six, pretty good band, check them out!
Wandering the streets of Cuautitlán, Sate of Mexico, north of Mexico City.
A CFE crew were working on electrical service in Centro Cuautitlán - click, click.
The federal government created the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), 14 August, 1937 to organize and direct a national system of generation, transmission and distribution of electrical energy, based on technical and economic principles, non-profit, to obtain the highest possible performance for the benefit of the general population at a minimum cost.
27 September, 1960, President Adolfo López Mateos nationalized the electrical industry to increase the level of electrification in Mexico.
As of October 2009, CFE is in charge of providing electricity service throughout the country.
The company's operation is organized into 4 processes: generation, transmission, distribution and provider of basic services.
CFE is Mexico's second most powerful state-owned company after Pemex with 80,000+ employees.
CFE owns Mexico’s only nuclear power plant, Laguna Verde located on the Gulf coast at Alto Lucero, Veracruz. The plant opened in 1990 with one unit and a second unit started in 1995.

The ExoMars rover has a brand new control centre in one of Europe’s largest Mars yards. The Rover Operations Control Centre (ROCC) was inaugurated on 30 May 2019 in Turin, Italy, ahead of the rover’s exploration adventure on the Red Planet in 2021.
The control centre will be the operational hub that orchestrates the roaming of the European-built laboratory on wheels, named after Rosalind Franklin, upon arrival to the martian surface on Kazachok, the Russian surface platform.
The epicentre of the action for directing Mars surface operations on Earth is at the ALTEC premises in Turin, Italy. From here, engineers and scientists will work shoulder to shoulder at mission control, right next to a very special Mars yard.
Filled with 140 tonnes of soil, the Mars-like terrain has sandy areas and rocks of various sizes that will help rehearse possible mission scenarios.
