I have been to Gulf Shores and Orange Beach many times, but this was my first time to stay at Surfside Shores or the west end of the beach. I loved it. We were close enough to all of the restaurants, shopping, music and fun but not in the heart of the crowds. Ricky was great to work with from my first inquiry to the prompt refund of my deposit when I returned from my vacation. I would highly recommend this condo to my family and friends and hope to return soon. One of my girlfriends made the comment that this was the best stocked condo she had ever stayed in and I agree. It was delightful and we felt at home right away...and the elevator was the fastest ever! I also loved the fact that we could sit on the balcony and talk to our friends at the pool and still have a great view of the ocean. Two thumbs up!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway.

We were there in mid December and it was just wonderful. Everything is just as advertised... clean, modern, very well kept, great beach view, great location etc. etc.. My wife and I are pretty much clean freaks and there was nothing that made us feel like it was dirty or needed cleaning. Everything is well kept and looks new. We felt right at home. We will definitely go back there the next time we go to Gulf Shores. You can't go wrong with this condo and I'm sure the others are just as nice. Thanks Ricky!Did you find this review helpful?

My husban and I just stayed at the Surfside Shores Unit II and we absolutely loved it and had a wonderful time! The condo looked just like the pictures that are posted on here and it was everything we were told it would be!! We had a whole week of pure relaxation and are so thankful that the owner of the condo was super nice and really worked with us. Everytime I emailed her with a question she emailed me back very promptly!!! We would definitely recommend this unit to friends/family!! Thanks for a wonderful week! While we were there we visited LuLu's which was very good food and Jake's which was also delicious and we had fun playing putt putt golf at Pirates Island and Adventure Island and we would also recommend going on one of the dolphin cruises!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This is a very well equipped and comfortable condo. Great location on the beach as well as a good location in Gulf Shores. This was our first visit to this area - we found the restaurants in the area to be very nice and some excellent golf courses close by - don't miss Rock Creek. It is a little furthur away than some (in Fairhope) but well worth the drive. Everyone at the condo as well as in town were very friendly. The pool and the building are very clean and well maintained.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the condo, my children especially enjoyed the beautiful white sand beach just yards away from the condo. The place was equiped with everything your family requires to live comfortably. Conveniently located so your minutes to do what you like best, whether it be mini putt, go-carts, live music, or fine dining. We traveled and visited over the Thanksgiving holiday and we truly enjoyed our stay an would recommend it for anyone that would like to get away from the daily grind of life.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: Hi! I'm Ricky Beale (owner) here at the beach with my grand-daughters. We live in the midwest but we love the beach...especially Gulf Shores and our condo at Surfside Shores. We have the most beautiful soft sugary white sand beach and a great place to find seashells. The beach is a little different each day but we always find shells and enjoy the water. In the summer the Gulf is warm like bath water and in the winter it is cool but you can still get your feet wet. This is our little piece of paradise and we'd love to have you visit as our guests here when we can't be here.
Why the Owner Chose Surfside Shores I & II:
We purchased this condo here at Surfside Shores because we already had two other units in this complex and we loved this complex so much we wanted one more. Now our whole family can vacation here 'together' but each in a different condo unit. We love the wide balcony for eating our meals and sunning and we like that you will always see the beach the first thing when you wake up in your bed. It's super convenient to get to the beach and with the elevator right across from our unit so we don't have to carry our things very far at all.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
When we stay in our condo we enjoy watching the dolphins swim past every morning and afternoon. We enjoy waking up in bed and seeing the beach as well as sleeping with the French doors open and hearing the waves hit the shore and lull us to sleep every night. The heated pool is great for the days that are a little cool...as there is a heat pump that will kick in if the temp drops a little low at night. We're in a 'quiet' part of the beach but close to shops and restaurants so we can make the best use of our vacation time while we're at the beach. If we need something we forgot, Pier 33 is within walking distance, and if we work up an appetite we can always walk to Bahama Bob's for a burger.

User Review: Primus EasyLight
Price Paid: $55
What can I say...Primus manufactures a great product! I've been using this lantern for some time and have found it to outperform most in its class. It has superior light output to others, great solid carry case, and a matching fuel efficiency to most in the isobutane class.
Bear in mind it is still a glass globe lantern and still requires some care. I have recently purchased a Brunton Lucy lantern for my ATV camping and though it has inferior light output than the Primus, it gives me peace of mind concerning durability. Hope this helps.

Directed by: Robert Florey / Louis Friedlander
Starring: Bela Lugosi, Sidney Fox, Leon Waycoff, Bert Roach / Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, Irene Ware
Few classic horror films have gotten quite as undeserved a bad rep as Robert Florey's Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932)—in large part because the film was a consolation prize given to Florey and star Bela Lugosi when Frankenstein (1931) went to James Whale. The critical view of the film has often been something along the lines of "and this is what Florey and Lugosi did while they weren't making Frankenstein." The truth is that, no, it's not as good as Frankenstein. But that's true of a lot of movies that don't get held up to it unfairly (and unreasonably) as a yardstick. On its own merits, Murders in the Rue Morgue has some problems (mostly in casting), but it's actually a fascinating film—and it has one of Lugosi's most powerful performances. The Raven (1935), on the other hand, really isn't much of a movie, but its silly plot—and even more amusing contrivances—actually adds to its charm. But more to the point, it's Lugosi's big moment in the sun. For once in his career, he gets the cherished "last name is all that's needed" billing on the film—"Karloff and Lugosi in"—and for once he gets the lion's share of the movie. Where he and Karloff had been on even footing in The Black Cat (1934), this is Lugosi's show from beginning to end. (It's easy to understand why Karloff was always dismissive of this title, though he does have the movie's funniest line—whether or not it was intended that way.) There would never be a moment quite like this for Lugosi again—and it's something to savor.
For more on these:
The Thursday Horror Picture Show will screen Murders in the Rue Morgue and The Raven on Thursday, April 26, at 8 p.m. in the Cinema Lounge of The Carolina Asheville and will be hosted by Xpress movie critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther.
In Brief: A double dose of Bela Lugosi from his classic years at Universal. First in Robert Florey's Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), and then in Louis Friedlander's The Raven (1935)—the latter also boasts Boris Karloff in its cast, but it's really Lugosi's show. They may not be Lugosi's absolute best films, but they contain two of his most treasured performances, which is what matters.

Amazon Looking to Buy Texas Instruments' OMAP SoC Division?
10/15/2012 by: Anshel Sag
According to our friend Assaf Gilad over at the
, Amazon has entered into the more serious levels of negotiation with Texas Instruments to purchase the OMAP processor division from Texas Instruments. This play seems fairly reasonable when you consider all of the past rumors that TI would no longer be producing OMAP processors for consumers and that TI would be selling off the division.
Also, when you look at their past, TI simply hasn't had any recent design wins in any notable products except for in Amazon's new Kindle Fire HD (which we'll be reviewing shortly). They have been talking about their future products in their OMAP 5 series of SoCs, however, those A-15 based SoCs are likely not to be seen in many devices considering TI's lack of many recent design wins.
One interesting tidbit is that TI also supplies the SoC for Barnes and Noble's Nook Color which is a direct competitor to Amazon's Kindle Fire product line. Such things tend to happen from time to time when a competitor buys a parts supplier for a certain tech company and usually that relationship slowly withers off instead of becoming a major point of contention.
We believe that Amazon does not necessarily need to acquire an SoC vendor in order to remain competitive with the likes of Samsung and Apple, however, being able to use their own SoCs could further drive down the cost of the actual devices enabling Amazon to sell their tablets for even lower prices and perhaps for once even make a profit off of the device instead of just the services.
The talk is that this would be a deal in the billions of dollars and would likely result in a complete absorbtion of TI's OMAP division into Amazon's vast empire. It should be interesting to see how such an acquisition would work out for consumers when Amazon's
past acquisitions
have mostly ended up in relatively good products for consumers and profit for Amazon. We honestly don't see many holes in such a rumor with the exception of the fact that Amazon doesn't necessarily need the OMAP business in order to be competitive, however it could drive their costs down. They also have a long track record of being a TI customer and buying OMAP processors for their Kindle.

Maybe the Web has just become too big for spidered search engines in their current form. Even if the Web weren't a "cesspool" (Eric Schmidt's term) flooded by spam and autogenerated garbage, it would be a lot bigger than it was when Google got started 15 years ago.
Let's say I search on "red widgets." Am I looking for editorial information, a manufacturer's specifications and promo material, or a dealer? Even if Google knows my intent (e.g., editorial information), how can it possibly serve the best result on the first page of its search results? Google can try to keep me happy through personalization ("This guy clicked Wikipedia for his last 10 informational searches, so let's give him a Wikipedia result in the no. 1 spot"), but beyond that, "best" is hard for an algorithm--or a human librarian, for that matter--to determine with any degree of objectivity.

Haug disagrees with Schumacher's criticism
Wednesday 25th April 2012, 07:30 by Ryan Wood
© Mercedes AMG F1 Team
Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug disagrees with comments made by Michael Schumacher in regards to the Pirelli tyres.
Schumacher criticised Pirelli following the Bahrain Grand Prix after he finished tenth having started 22nd, but had expected much more had it not been for the high tyre wear. He likened the tyres to 'cruising around behind a safety car.'
"The main thing I feel unhappy about is that everyone has to drive well below a driver's, and in particular, the cars limit to maintain the tyres," said the German.
"I just question whether the tyres should play such a big importance, or whether they should last a bit longer - and that you can drive at normal racing car speed and not cruise around like we have a safety car."
Haug however disagrees and believes Pirelli have contributed to making Formula 1 a 'great product.'
"The tires are a challenge for everyone," he told the German media. "Who can best deal with them. It is the same for everyone, and that's important.
"Overall, what we have created in Formula 1 is a very good product, there have been are very good races, we have had different winners and six different teams on the podium. It's a great competition and we are pleased that we are already among the winners."
However, he does understand the drivers frustrations: "I can understand the driver's viewpoint. There is a certain frustration when you think you could go faster, but you are always having to economise - this is not necessarily the nature of a racer."

Would you put a lost plane locator in your sailplane?

At the least I put my name and contact number on my planes. It has saved me a Bee once.
At the most I put a Plane Locator tag into my plane. I've tracked them successfully from over 3 kms away. It's saved one plane so far! |

I highly recommend a lost model locator. This can turn an hour's hunt into a few mintues job. On two occasions, when slope soaring I lost my Zagi on top of a think canopy of 50 foot trees. I coudl hear it but could not see it. Without this, it would have been lost.
Of course I also have my name in the planes, which is an AMA requirement anyway. Lost Model Locator Here is a great little device that would help you avoid a crash due to a low or dead battery AND will help you find the plane when you drop it into the brush off the field or down the slope. You put in the plane and attach it to the receiver. It tests your battery voltage when you turn the plane on. It checks for channel conflict. It monitors the battery voltage in the air. And, if you land in the woods, brush, high grass or some other place where you can't see the plane, it will help you find the plane. Typically they cost from $12-$20. Here is one source, but there are many. http://www.californiasailplanes.com/...l%20alarm.html Here is how I use it for channel conflict check. When I get to the field I leave the transmitter off and turn the plane/receiver on. I expect the plane to go into lost plane.locator mode and start beeping as it can not find a signal from the transmitter. If it does not go into plane locator mode, someone else is on my channel. If you want something much longer in range, there is "The Locator" http://www.theplanelocator.com/csi_site/index.html I don't have one of "the locators", I use a walston unit in my larger planes. Good to several miles. |

Number of Reviews: 81
Reviewer: Susan B. Wed Mar 06, 2013: We really like it. Unfortunately the bracelet was too small. We called and were advised links would be sent and we have not received them.
Reviewer: Doris S. Tue Mar 05, 2013: So far I am impressed with the bracelet. The information engraved on it is accurate and easy to read. The only grumble that I have is that the rings that hold the chain to the engraved part are not completely closed and at times will catch on clothing. This will be easily fixed once I can get to my jeweler and ask him to close the rings. Overall, I am satisfied with the product.

Reviewer: Donald A P. Thu Jan 31, 2013: I am very pleased with my new medical id bracelet. I especially like the additional information that my old id bracelet could not hold. Also the engraving on my old id bracelet had worn to the point of illedgibility. The engraving on this item is slightly deeper. Time will tell how long it will last. Everything else about it is excellent

Reviewer: Sun Jan 13, 2013:
Reviewer: Clara R. Sun Jan 13, 2013: not happy with it, already scrached just seems poorly made for the price
Reviewer: Mary H. Sat Jan 12, 2013: I expected the bracelet for my husband to be a little more sturdy. I may work out better being this weight.
Reviewer: Patricia C. Sat Jan 12, 2013:
Reviewer: Sandra H. Fri Jan 11, 2013: After an incident with the car I realized that if it had been worse the hospital would not know of my back. So my husband got the ID tag and bracelet for Christmas for me. it can be a scary situation.

Reviewer: Sandi F. Sun Jan 06, 2013: I was very pleased with this product, especially with thee on-line access to your medical information. Thank you
Reviewer: Nick M. Sat Jan 05, 2013: good
Reviewer: Arline L. Fri Jan 04, 2013: It is a high quality that as expected. The band is very nice. Engraving is excellent. The tag is slightly too big and stick out on top of my wrist.
Reviewer: Evelyn K. Fri Jan 04, 2013: Fine
Reviewer: Cindy H. Thu Jan 03, 2013: It wasn't of the quality that I thought it would be. I just thought that the bracelet part would have been thicker or stronger looking than what it is.
Reviewer: Tom H. Thu Jan 03, 2013: I think it's ok . I wished that the letterind stood out a little more it hard to read even in the day light .Also the corners could use a little more rounding off.Other than that I like it ,LOl

Reviewer: Theresa B. Wed Jan 02, 2013: I feel better knowing i have this medical bracelet on. The only thing I think troubles me is that it doesn't conform to my wrist, it sticks oout. Also, the size is just a little too snug, a size 8 would be too big but the size 7 is a little too snug
Reviewer: Charles M. Sat Dec 29, 2012: Think this is an excellent idea, very helpful in case of emergency.
Reviewer: Sat Dec 29, 2012: Received what I ordered, exactly No problems.
Reviewer: Judy P. Sat Dec 29, 2012: Will do the job. This ID bracelet is wide and flat, does not curve around like my wrist so it catches on things - it is also tight, should have been about 1/2 inch longer bracelet but I was the one who measured it so I figure it's my fault.
Reviewer: Dean B. Thu Dec 27, 2012: I like having the ability to add medical information to a Web site that can be accessed by medical personnel.
Reviewer: Virginia T. Thu Dec 27, 2012: Very nice. I have multiple drug adverse reactions and can never remember them all. Now I won't have to worry about it if I am away from my doctors.
Reviewer: Martha R. Tue Dec 25, 2012: It is a very nice bracelet. It looks good on, but I do wish the medical symbol were darker and easier to see.

Reviewer: William S. Thu Dec 20, 2012: I am a type 1 diabetic.

Reviewer: Irwin F. Fri Dec 14, 2012: I felt the insigni should standout brighter. I did not realized it was hardly visible.I was so disappointed that I rerdered the other stainless steel bracelet with the outstanding insignia. I would have preferred the same bracelet in stainless stell, but was told that it was not available.
Reviewer: Wed Dec 12, 2012: Looks better online than in real life.....I wasnt shopping on price but by easthetic.....dissapointed

Yeah, Thank you thank you thank you, you're far to kind!
Whoo! Aha, uh, whoo, yeah! ready? whoo!
Whoo, Whoo
[Chorus - Jay-Z]
Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
uh uh uh uh
[Chester from Linkin Park]
Now what the hell are you waitin forrrr!!!
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
get 'em jay
[Verse One]
Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
Can't none of y'all mirror me back
Yeah hearin me rap is like hearin G. Rap in his prime
I'm, young H.O., rap's Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe, now break bread
I'm in, Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you Young, what the -- you expect? Yep, yep
Grand openin, grand closin
God your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen
Just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon' see you can't replace him
with cheap imitations for THESE GENERATIONS!
[Chorus - Jay-Z]
Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar

Now what the hell are you waitin forrrr!!!
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
[Chester from Linkin Park]
What the hell are you waitin forrrr!!!
[Verse Two]
{*sighs*} Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yea)
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain't to play games witchu
It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh-- if you want this encore
I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore
[Verse 3]
Tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertoe, just caught in the undertoe
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertoe, just caught in the undertoe
And every second I waste is more than I can taaaakkee!!
[Chorus 2]
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've, become so nuuuuummmbbb!
(Can I get a encore? Do you want more, more, more, more)
I've, become so nuuuummmmbb!
(So for one last time I need y'all to roar!
One last time I need y'all to roar!)

Issue 1, June 2012
The Taxation (Annual Rates, Returns Filing and Remedial Matters) Bill (the "Bill"), introduced in September 2011, has been reported back from the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee (the "FEC"). Overall, the FEC has recommended a number of useful clarification and amendments to the Bill as introduced.
Perhaps the most telling comment is the FEC's concern about the pressure on IRD's ageing computer systems, with a number of recommendations to defer initiatives to allow IRD to cope.
We are particularly concerned that this has potential to constrain future tax policy development and effective delivery of operational change. This, therefore, needs to be a priority focus for the Department.
If you have any questions on the above, please speak to your usual KPMG advisor, or contact John Cantin.

Archived Story
An outline for supporting our schools
Published 5:59am Wednesday, September 19, 2012By: Craig Ford
In previous columns, I have written about the mistakes I believe Republicans are making in regards to our public education system.
I have also written about the need to provide competitive compensation to keep and attract the best and brightest to the education profession.
When the legislature returns to Montgomery next year, Democrats will offer a full agenda to support our schools.
Our agenda will center around three goals: to make our schools healthier, to provide more resources for classrooms and support teachers and education personnel with a long-overdue pay increase.
Healthier children have an easier time learning, and are more likely to be successful in school.
This year, Democratic Representative Elaine Beech sponsored a bill to allow Alabama farmers to sell their produce to local schools.
This legislation was an excellent start, but there is more we can do to make sure we have healthier foods in our schools.
Another way we can make our schools healthier is to provide more support for physical education and athletics.
Healthier students have an easier time concentrating and participating in class. And as many coaches will tell you, students' grades tend to improve when they play sports.
In addition to making our schools healthier, the Democratic agenda for 2013 will include measures to provide badly needed resources to our schools. This does not mean throwing money at schools and hoping for the best.
Democrats want to invest in our schools. We do this by investing in proven programs, such as the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative that has proven so successful in the schools where it has been implemented.
Investing in our schools also means providing teachers and students with the resources they need. In some schools, teachers have to use their own money to pay for copies of worksheets and other handouts they provide to their students.
And how many of us have received letters from teachers asking parents to provide paper towels, tissues and other basic supplies for classrooms because the school did not have enough money to provide them. That just shouldn't be!
This year, Democrats in the Senate fought to provide a $1,000 to every teacher to purchase classroom supplies. The Republicans reduced that amount to $300. That is better than nothing, but Democrats believe students and teachers need more.
Democrats have also been fighting to provide classrooms with newer textbooks. In some schools, students are using textbooks that are 10 years old.
Every year, Alabama graduates are entering college unprepared for college level courses in part because their high schools were using out of date textbooks that did not include current theories, concepts or teaching methods.
Lastly, the Democratic agenda will include legislation to provide a cost-of-living pay increase for educators and other public employees who have not had a cost-of-living pay increase since before the recession began.
Ask any business owner and they will tell you: if you want the best, you have to offer a competitive compensation package.
Education is not only essential to our children's future; it is essential to our state's future.
Without a properly educated workforce, we cannot recruit new or higher paying jobs. We have to invest in our children today, and Democrats are preparing an agenda to do just that.
Rep. Craig Ford is a Democrat from Gadsden and the Minority Leader of the State House of Representatives. He has served in the Alabama House of Representatives since 2000.

Damian Williams and Lavelle Hawkins, Men on the Spot
I mentioned last week that Lavelle Hawkins had been the Titans' top target on third down on weeks three and four. Once again, Lavelle Hawkins was Hasselbeck's top target on third down, with four passes thrown his way. Unfortunately only one of those was converted, and that came via penalty early in the game, when James Farrior was flagged for illegal contact. Hawkins' 4 catches tied his career high, and I think his 8 targets were also a career high.
The Titans are essentially conducting a trial by ordeal between Williams and Hawkins for the right to be the second receiver behind Nate Washington. Both receivers are getting thrown the ball more and more consistently than they've ever been thrown the ball before. The results? Well, let's back off a little bit and look at the full season numbers.
Both receivers have been thrown the ball 20 times. Hawkins has more catches, 11 to Damian's 9, and more yards, 109 to 94, but Williams has the two scores. Hawkins as the third down targets, Williams other targets. Both sport particularly skimpy yards per catch averages, Hawkins only 9.9 and Williams 10.4 (yes, small sample size). By Football Outsiders numbers, they're nearly identical. Through five weeks, Hawkins has -8 DYAR (a measure of total value) and a DVOA of -18.1%. Williams also has -8 DYAR, and his DVOA is -18.0%. Unfortunately, the problem is where those rank: 69th and 70th among the 90 receivers who've been thrown the ball at least 16 times.
Don't look at Matt Hasselbeck as the cure to Hawkins and Williams' lack of productivity, as he's been extraordinarily productive throwing to Kenny Britt when he was in the lineup (9th in DVOA) and Nate Washington (12th in DYAR, 17th in DVOA). That's in the neighborhood of his level of productivity at his best in Seattle, when Shaun Alexander was ripping off consistent runs behind that great offensive line. Even when Chris Johnson quietly has his most consistently productive game of the year, as he did against the Steelers, it's not enough. The Titans' big run-pass split on third down continued Sunday (they threw the ball half the time on 3&1 and threw on every 3&2+), but sooner or later they're going to have to have Williams and/or Hawkins, preferably both, be a better, more consistent receiver, or the offense is going to struggle like it did Sunday more often.

Space X Launch Successful, Plans to Dock With Space Station on Friday
Early this morning, private space company Space X sent its Dragon capsule into orbit. On Friday, if all goes well, it will rendezvous with the International Space Station, thus kicking off a beautiful $1.6 billion, 12 mission friendship with NASA to ferry cargo back and forth in the post-Shuttle era. Eventually, that cargo may include astronauts as well.
On this mission the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket did carry some human cargo, actually. Exactly 308 people made the trip. They were already dead, though, which made the craft less crowded that it would otherwise be, and the mission somewhat lower risk. Among the ashes: Actor James Doohan, who played Scotty on the 1960s television series "Star Trek," and Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper.
Reactions around the Web ranged from capitalistically ecstatic:
"I think this is an example of American entrepreneurship at its best," Alan Lindenmoyer, manager of NASA's commercial crew and cargo program, said in a briefing before the launch.
To semi-grudging:
Admittedly, having seen the last two shuttle launches in person, we didn't know how we'd feel about watching this test of launch and rendezvous by Space Exploration Technologies, otherwise known as SpaceX. So we choose to keep our distance....SpaceX is neither future nor failure. Based on this recent launch, SpaceX is the necessary present.
If you're feeling the need to gird your loins for the new private space era now upon us, why not check out Reason's special space issue with all the answers.

How in the hell is SpaceX NOT the future? Private industry is creating a market for people who want to put themselves or others in space, THIS IS THE FUTURE YOU IDIOT.
Man I hate puffington host.
but what future? lifting fat 1%ers creamated remains then taking the trash out?
wake me when these cos actually manufacture their own lift vehicles, run their own mission ops, the RD starts.
Aw, Mary, it's so cute when you try to think!
I'm not even sure what any of that poorly punctuated crime against wordsmithing is supposed to mean, but gosh darnit, you're trying!
mary in the sky w diamonds!
Thanks for your input, Mary.
I would respond to her but I have no idea what she's saying either.
Authentic internet gibberish.
The stupid remains strong within you, young padawan. You have the highest derpichlorian count yet seen.
Wait. o3 is Mary? Jesus, I need to pay more attention when I'm traveling.
And someone needs to put together a scorecard. -
that's one mary of an observation there obie juans
Hmm. Y'know, back in the day somebody got a thread locked for a discussion of spacedocking. And now they have posts about it.
Note to those curious: DO NOT look up what "space docking" means in Urban Dictionary if you are eating now or plan to shortly.
Wow, that was even worse than I expected.
If the deviants around here tell you to not look something up, that's a hint you should probably heed.
You've been warned.
Be ESPECIALLY careful if they start taunting you with, "Go ahead, you know you want to..."
It's lunch time, so thanks for the warning.
Spacedocking reference FTW
So my immediate questions all involve the etymology of the term.
I believe you'll find the reference here.
Rusty trombone? How could I forget that? See, I definitely need to go back and rewatch The Aristocrats.
Glad that the launch went well, and here's hoping for a perfect mission. This is the beginning of a new era.
In related news, SpaceX recently signed a deal with Bigelow (the space hotel or whoretel people, depending on who you're talking to) and another country. More customers, more launches, more goodness.
How much would that cost us if NASA kept it in-house?
Orion/Ares cost many times more, and never flew.
The names were cooler.
A Falcon carried a Dragon into orbit. What's not to like?
Merlin engines, too. "Merlin" means "falcon." There's a whole Arthurian thing going, I guess.
Sorry, ProL, I wish I were joking, but Dragon is indirectly named after the green herb.
NTTAW Legalizing it.
oh hm, puff the magic dragon is apparently not about marijuana. Well there you go.
No idea, but with the Falcon/Merlin business, they may have branched out.
The cost to design and build the mobile launch platform for Constellation was as much as SpaceX has spent on their entire Falcon 9 program.
The mobile launch platform has not been used to date.
What it looks like when you love your job. Compare these people with technical degrees and/or vocational skills to advanced puppetry/sociology degrees at Occupy.
For me, the spontaneous cheering in the background when the solar arrays deploy was far more touching than employees chanting "Elon" when he comes out of mission control.
I've got rocket job envy. How cool.
Yeah, but when your minions get stuck on a tough technical problem, you can't tell them "come on guys, this is not rocket science here", because it is.
That's okay, because we have other traditional catchphrases to abuse them with. Like "Failure is not an option" or "You can either get this V-2 to London, or you can join the Jewish slaves downstairs." Stuff like that.
that's what brain surgery is for. (and vice versa)
Why are they lifting cremated remains to the ISS?
Are the astronauts supposed to do the honors and throw them out the other airlock? Or are they going to evacuate the trash to space on the way back to earth?Or does the contract say they'll take your ashes to orbit, but omit the part about not brining them back. "Lulz, you said you wanted your ashes launched into space, but you didn't say they had to stay there! "
They should just blow up another Space Shuttle - that did the cremating and scattering of ashes in one step.
Too soon.....?
The remains were actually in the 2nd stage. So they won't be making the trip to the the ISS. The were just supposed to be distributed in space. Its just a way of making more money. (And SpaceX had a failure of a Falcon I that was supposed to do this, but it didn't make orbit.)
I think microsats are supposed to be carried into orbit on the second stage. You can buy a cubesat slot for like 10k or something.
This is true, as a project I worked on in grad school is going to be launched this way.
So we have the Space Choo Choo story.
How soon do we get the requisite companion Home Brewing® story and gay (NTTAWWT) Comic Book For Adults™ posts?
The Dork Trifecta
Geek is the new Sexy -- Awesome!
....SpaceX is neither future nor failure.
Huffpost is both future and failure. Kill yourself now.
Quickly, Imperator Obama, subjugate the libertard SpaceXers with righteous regulations!
Good luck regulating me once I leave low Earth orbit....
And how are you going to leave orbit when they regulate you before you leave?
Someday soon I'll be able to open my space brewery.
You just know that it's going to turn out that space brew is going to be the best brew.
"Ours is the superior. . .brew."
Well, it'll be the only brew left standing...
On second thought, I'll allow robc to stay in business, as long as he pays me "asteroid protection".
"In space, no one can hear you burp."
But they can sure smell you fart.
In grad school a friend and I tried to figure out how to get grant money to open a space brewery. We decided it might work to say we're studying the effect of microgravity on fermentation, flocculation, and microorganisms in general. Then we started legitimately discussing the likely outcome of a top-fermenting yeast attempting to ferment in wort without a "top".
I dont think flocculation occurs in microgravity.
I dont think the fermentation would be a problem with a spherical fermenter. It wouldnt matter where the blowoff tube was as pressure will be evenly distributed.
Lack of flocculation would mean faster fermentation, but I think a centrifuge would be necessary to get the yeast to "drop".
Clearly, RD--in space--is necessary. There are some gigantic brewers out there that could commission multiple SpaceX missions to Bigelow inflatables dedicated to brewing experiments.
R and D. WTF?
R and D. WTF?
I assumed you were simply referring to Red Dwarf.
My point exactly. Sure, we can probably reason out what will happen, but we don't know, and since yeast are actually living creatures you pretty much have to experiment to find out.
Day of the Yeast! Mutated in beer-making experiments beyond the Van Allen Belt, intelligent killer yeast descend upon Earth, killing, killing, and killing again.
I think before the mutant yeast kill you they probably make you eat your own excrement in revenge for millenia of alcohol-producing slavery.
We feed them sugar, they CHOOSE to make alcohol for us as a gift.
robc, I never thought you'd bring out the white man's burden style of argument. For shame!
You won't even let them have oxygen!
Is that like having to pass the bill to find out what's in it?
Flocculation is not dependent on a gravitational potential field. Settling of flocculated particles is. Can you say centrifuge? Or maybe it could be done with a magnetic or electric potential and special yeast genetically modified to concentrate iron within their cell walls.
Poor me a bubble of that thar space brew, and pass the straws!
Or, for just one trillion dollars (cue Dr. Evil)....
Build the Enterprise!

kicking off a beautiful $1.6 billion, 12 mission friendship with NASA
Is that $1.6 billion for all 12 missions?! Shit, get with the times, SpaceX! The grown-ups at NASA spent that much on 3 Shuttle missions in 2011.
