Author: Since this is not available yet on the jQuery home page, here is a way to get the file as it stands today:
1) Download MVC 2 Realease Canditate 2 from here (file name: AspNetMVC2_RC2_VS2008.exe)
2) Copy this file to somewhere “easy” to use with a DOS Prompt, I copied AspNetMVC2_RC2_VS2008.exe to “C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\”
3) Use a program like 7-zip or WinRar to extract the .exe to this folder using the “Extract Here” option (screenshot)
4) Open up a command prompt and type to get to this folder created by the extraction:
cd "C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\mvctoolsvs2008"
5) Type this MS DOS command (referenced from this blog post), when it’s complete, close the command window:
msiexec /a vs2008toolsmvc2.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\Extract
6) Back in windows explorer, you should be able to navigate to “C:\Temp\MVC2RC2\Extract\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 2\VisualStudio_PROJ_DIR\CSharp\Web\1033″, where there is a zip file named “EmptyMvcWebApplicationProjectTemplatev2.0.cs.zip”
7) Inside that zip file is “scripts/jquery-1.4.1-vsdoc.js”….
Enjoy!

So went up early Sunday morning, Feb 7th, to watch the Space Shuttle Endeavor to go up to the International Space Station, only to have the launch postponed due to low cloud cover. They don’t affect the launch, but they do become a problem in case the Shuttle had to make an emergency landing there. Anyways, despite the lack of launch, I got a few nice pictures 
1 second of exposure time shows the Shuttle sitting on her perch
6.5 seconds of exposure time lets the light shine!
Later on, some clouds rolled in…. I let 3 seconds of exposure time show the clouds
20 seconds of exposure time resulted in this spectacular shot !
Hopefully I’ll get some time to get back up to Titusville for one of the final 4 launches of the Shuttle Program. Having the ability to see one of these in person is really a great benefit of living in Florida
