THanks for the heads up psloss... Only managed to catch the end but here are a few snaps for interest sake
No problem; you probably already know this, but it will be replayed a lot over the next 24 hours (or more). The items generally are played in a loop and it is likely to be replayed again at least once between now and 2 pm Eastern. The Video File is replayed numerous times on the Media and Public Channels during the day. (And of course John44 probably got it, too.)

I notice that the tail cone that was attached to Discovery for its ferry flight to Florida is inside the VAB (right in front of Atlantis in this pic). I wonder why?

Logically it would be to keep it out of the elements

And a few more now of rotating to vertical and then the twist to get into the integration cell.

KSC PAO: An issue with a crane in the Vehicle Assembly Building has delayed Atlantis' attachment to its external tank and boosters.
Teams are working to fix the problem, and NASA managers still are looking to have Atlantis moved to its launch pad Oct. 13

Nice view here of connections to the T0 Umbilical.
Suspended over the transfer isle, before heading to the stack.

Well! Check out this one, another unique angle. I did not realize the cranes were set up like that.
http://mediaarchive.ksc.nasa.gov/search.cfm?cat=204
The high cranes (the one that is attached to the forward end of the sling) travel north and south between the highbays. this particular one moves between HB1 and HB2. the low crane moves east and west along the transfer isle. the high cranes are 250 tn cap. and the low one is 125tn cap.

Actually, it's the other way around. The high bay cranes travel east/west with the low bay crane travelling north north/south. The low bay is located on the south side of the VAB with high bays 1 and 3 located on the east side and high bays 2 and 4 is located on the west side.

A lot of great pictures showing up in the Kennedy Media Gallery.
One question, when the roll out occurs, where should I go to view it? I might be over there on the 13th anyway.

The public can only hope to get on the first tour out to the gantry, but if she rolls at night you wont see anything and not allowed in. Other than that your only hope is maybe getting into the Playlinda beach area

There's supposed to be a new item in this afternoon's Video File, coming up a little after the top of the hour. (Probably already ran on the Media Channel; This Week @ NASA airs before the Video File at 6 pm Eastern.)
ITEM 5 - NASA’S ATLANTIS IS ATTACHED TO ITS EXTERNAL TANK AND BOOSTERS FOR STS-129 MISSION – KSC (NEW)
Space shuttle Atlantis is attached to a lifting sling for rotation and hoisting on Oct. 6
inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Fla. On Oct. 7,
the shuttle was bolted to its external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters for its
rollout to Launch Pad 39A Oct. 13.
During the 11-day mission, Atlantis’ six astronauts will bring supplies, spare parts and research
material to the space station. Launch is targeted for Nov. 12.
TRT: 4:50
