CHRIS: Oh perfect. Well Robbie, we have a number of questions from our fans. These are questions that aren't what you typically find in FAQ or frequently asked questions. ROBBIE: The stack, as she refers to, is actually a combination of the solid rocket boosters, the external tank, which is the big fuel tank, and the orbiter itself. The stacking process actually begins with a mobile launching platform that they put inside the vehicle assembly building.

ROBBIE: The material that he's actually defining is called an ablator. It's a type of material that actually burns away during reentry. But it has disadvantages for shuttle use, which is why it's not used on the shuttle. Those being that the material, number one, is a lot denser than the tiles that they use therefore it's a lot heavier. And the surface roughness of the ablator is not smooth enough to meet the shuttle criteria.

BLAIR: Sound suppression? So, that's not from the rockets. That's something totally different. Why would they need to suppress the sound? We're far enough away so that we can hear it without ear damage.

The end of the Southern California edition of Police Call. Or at least the end as personally nurtured by Gene "Hughes" (not his real last name). As for two generations of Southern California scanner enthusiasts, this is a time of transition and unclear future. The lack of updates to Metroscan. Metroscan is an excellent frequency guide, but still could benefit from some corrections and additions.

Llamas and alpacas are herding animals and very social, and are most happy when in the company of other animals, preferring other llamas or alpacas. Being alone is very stressful.

BLAIR: You, obviously, are a veteran of space shuttle launches. Could you give me any insight into what to expect or how to prepare for such a momentous occasion. SARAH: They're going to start the engines and you'll see the puff of steam and then you will hear it moments later. Another thing is you can see the ripples along the water.

What I was going to suggest to you is that, yes, vendors need to come up and help with this and I know some vendors are doing that, that they are providing an interface to their applications to handle these transactions, to extract the data or import the data. There are also solutions available via clearinghouses to make this more affordable and more attractive to the smaller providers.

MS. WEIKER: The time frame for entering for the February batch because there are cutoff dates to meet each month's batch cycle. That was last night at midnight, Eastern time.

Intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve goals in the world. Varying kinds and degrees of intelligence occur in people, many animals and some machines. Not yet. The problem is that we cannot yet characterize in general what kinds of computational procedures we want to call intelligent. We understand some of the mechanisms of intelligence and not others. No.

Even though retromoderation has its problems, it is still widely accepted and used in several circumstances. Retromoderation is not questioned in already moderated newsgroups if performed by the group moderator or those who they designate. Moderated Big-8 newsgroups, alt.* groups accepted as moderated by 80%+ of Usenet sites, and private hierarchies may all be retro-moderated by their respective moderators or controllers. Spam-trap groups, such as alt.sex.

Absolutely! These guys work hard spending their weekends setting up and taking down the equipment. If the delivery person does a good job, let him know. Tips range from $10-$50 depending on equipment and difficulty of setup.

BLAIR: We're here at T minus 29 minutes, 24 seconds. And the excitement here you can just feel it. I can tell you I know now why you guys were upset with me. No one was here before. Everyone's here now. CHRIS: Less than thirty minutes, the energy level is coming up and increasing. Everyone is getting excited. We're all ready to go. BLAIR: There are lots of questions that I have. We've talked about how we prepare.

BLAIR: I tell you what. We need to get ready for the launch. I've got to digest the shuttle dogs and we've only got T minus 27 minutes and 5 seconds. You're here with NASA Edge. CHRIS: Another minute and the SRB's will separate. That's incredible. MISSION CONTROL: Endeavor flying straight as an arrow, 1 minute 55 seconds into the flight. Standing by for solid rocket booster separation. BLAIR: We're here with NASA Edge at T plus 20:18 into an amazing mission with the Endeavor.

ROBBIE: They fly on the right hand side of space, yeah. There's always the chance that other international partners will have spacecraft as well that can dock at the station. CHRIS: Oh, wonderful. So when the new vehicle is ready to go and comes on line around 2014 or 2015 we'll rely on the Russian spacecraft. CHRIS: I hope that doesn't interfere with you medianaut application. Because what's happening Robbie, is he's trying to become the first medianaut to go to the moon.

ROBBIE: No. It's close though. Crewmembers are actually selected out of the Crew Office that resides at Johnson Space Center. The Crew Office is made up of people who have gone through extensive training to become astronauts. They have various backgrounds. Some are pilots. Some are scientists or engineers. Those folks are usually called mission specialists. The actual crew selection for specific missions is based on several things.

MS. WEIKER: -- to see if they want to participate. I am going to request from Steve Bass tomorrow that that be sent out no later than Monday. So, all of those change requests that are sitting there now can get to the six organizations so they can decide if they want to collaborate or not. This gives the opportunity, since X12 is meeting next week, to review all of these change requests that have come in. So, that is the first step.

The Blair House is the building officially known as The President's Guest House. It is located on Pennsylvania Avenue across the street from the White House and its principal use is as a guest house for foreign chiefs of state and heads of government visiting the President. It is named the Blair House after the Blair Family who owned he residence and lived there from 1835 until 1943.

One of the biggest questions of the film. We will first break down the sequence of events and then explain the motives behind each from a human and Thing perspective. The next time we see Blair, he has clearly been assimilated: he is building a ship, attacks Garry, etc. Now, the question is asked, why would a human Blair kill the dogs and destroy everything? At this point, it is very clear that Blair understands the situation and feels that his comrades do not.

Right at the end of the Pasadena Freeway, between Arroyo Parkway and Marengo, just south of Glenarm Street, as shown on the following map.

Yes. We would like to meet your pets. We also need a copy of their up-to-date rabies vaccinations if you have dogs and/or cats.

No. Although people have done this, the alpacas are at great risk. One kick from a horse would certainly break bones, and could easily kill an alpaca. They do not have any defense mechanisms against large animals and should always be segregated from them.
