Twitter Offline Due To DDoS
CmdrTaco posted more than 4 years ago | from Precision
398The elusive Precision dropped a submission in my lap about a DDoS taking down Twitter running on CNet. It's been down for several hours, no doubt wreaking havoc on the latest hawtness in social networking. Won't someone please think of the tweeters? Word is that both Facebook & LiveJournal have been having problems this AM as well.

Item in stock and ready to ship FREE GROUND SHIPPING TO CONTINENTAL US Shop with Confidence |
Manufacturer: Rawlings The ZBAS2R Zoombang Football Compression Shirt is based on a unique energy dissipating material called Zoombang Polymer. These padded shirts provide the wearer with a layer of conformal cushioning and support, yet react to help dissipate energy when an impact is applied. Zoombang Polymer is a new visco-elastic polymer that is a soft, pliable liquid at rest. However, when a sudden shear force, such as shock, is applied the material immediately changes physical characteristics and stiffens to dissipate the energy. Once the force has passed, the material transforms into its original conformal cushioning state. Features:

* Numbers in brackets indicate the number of Home Testers who tried each mascara. 1 Mascara We removed all the product names from the mascara bottles so that our Home Testers wouldn't be influenced by the brand. 2 Ratings The Home Testers scored the products in each of the three separate rating categories on a scale of zero to six, with zero being very poor or extremely difficult to use and six being excellent or extremely easy to use. Scores were then converted to percentages and rounded to the nearest 10. To prompt them about things to consider when giving these scores, we asked the Home Testers to assess each mascara for how well it reached and coated fine hairs, how evenly it spread on their lashes, how quickly it dried and how long it took to wear off. They evaluated how easy it was to remove, how effective it was at curling, separating, lengthening and, of course, thickening their lashes, whether it smudged, clumped, flaked or ran, or if it irritated their eyes. 3 Price per mL or g Mascaras come in various sizes, so for comparison we calculated the price per mL or gram.

Two TV chefs have stepped up to the plate -- and have offered to cook for a "Make-A-Wish" kid who was snubbed by "Barefoot Contessa" star Ina Garten ... TMZ has learned.
Food Network star Beau MacMillan and "Iron Chef" Michael Symon are both reaching out to 6-year-old Enzo ... hoping they can fill the void Garten left after she turned down the kid's "wish" to cook a meal together.
In fact, MacMillan tells us he's ready to fly Enzo and his entire family out to Arizona STAT -- put them up in a fancy resort and treat them all to a VIP dinner at his 5-star restaurant.
MacMillan says he also wants to bring Enzo into the kitchen so they can prepare the meal together.
As for Symon -- the chef tells us he'll be in Enzo's home state of Oregon in the very near future and would be more than happy to swing by Enzo's house to "cook a dish" with him too.
Bon appetit!
INA needs to lay off her high and mighty horse and stop making "episodes" of her cooking for her friends! HELLO! not everyone ENTERTAINS guest... atleast make it look real and not like your trying so hard to make it look like you have friends! COOK THE KIDS A FREAKIN MEAL YOU WANNA BE POPULAR... ISHT!
I hope food network cancels Ina Garten's show.
Hey Food Network, we don't want to watch shows starring kid-haters.
so Enzo's mother takes money? to burn Ina's books because her son can't have his wish? Are you people for real??? This is so insane and idiotic...Let's see does Mom want to meet Ina??? Oh no, and she tells Enzo, in his sicken state we will tear her apart, ruin her reputation for not coming here after you asked repeatedly....I am sure Enzo sits in his hospital bed and just LOVES the cooking channel as he feels sicker after his treatments....does he control the remote Mom??? My kids liked cartoons and Disney Channel at 6 years old....this smells like a real bad recipe for extortion....but all you bleeding hearts sent Mom money, she's saving it so Enzo can be a chef and have his own show, right!!! How about Disneyland? That's where Enzo may want to go...And other chefs have offered to cook for him, but that's not good enough? For who, Mom or Enzo(he has pictures and recipes all over his room of Ina, sure) Wake up, she's not going to fufill a wish for Mom...but Mom will take your money...Shame on You Mom, lets hear Enzo's real wish, some sports player, musician, special place that kids like???? Give Ina a break, hey Mom learn how to cook yourself! Or is the heat in the kitchen too much???? But keep blogging how disappointed your boy is, you'll get more money!!!(genius, maybe I should do that with my paralyzed son, he's been that way for 17 years)
That stupid woman. I don't like her show anyway and willnever watch it again now.She is so full of herself on the show and off.What a terrible thing to do.I hope she looses her television show bcause of it.How busy can anyone be to refuse a sick child.?
Food station is for glutton people who eat too much. They should let Manson out of jail to finish Helter Skelter on miss fat pig food chef.
This has been nothing but a ploy by this mother to extort the public and ruin Ina Garten's reputation in the process. Hard to believe that a mother would use her sick child that way, but from the comments on here, she pegged the public pretty well. The mother is sinister, and malicious. Send her money and you are playing the fool!
It was very nice of these two gentlemen to offer their time to make a wish come true for this young boy. As for Ms. Garten, there are always two sides to every story and only one side has been exposed here - and it didn't really have any business here, anyways. Time often becomes our own worst enemy. She must have her reasons, and people should never be made to feel guilty for their cir***stances. If it is meant to be, love will find her way to him - not pressure or manipulation from the media or other individuals who chose to "leak" this situation to bring a good person down. It appears that the goal of this announcement is to tarnish the reputation of an individual who already has a history of charitable giving - past and present, and no doubt - the future.
I pray that this message gets to Enzo since the guest book for his site doesn't work. Kids today get sick due to toxins in food and poison vaccines. Standard medicine is corrupt at worse and incompetent at best. Chemo helps kill patients. For safe natural alternative treatments consult the sites http://www.mercola.com/ or http://naturalnews.com/ It might save the boy's life. This has been a TMZ health care truth post. Please pass it on to Enzo.
Yep the ONLY reason these two nobody's are 'stepping up to the plate' is for publicity. They don't give a **** about this kid... who incidentally is NOT DYING. Three years after the initial MAW he's getting swimming lessons. You bleeding hearts who eat this up are a bunch of self righteous mouth breathers. Countless celebrities, mostly male actors, turn down MAW requests without even giving so much as a NO answer with no reason. Garten's busy woman so piss off. Why don't you bleeding hearts contact MAW if you're so outraged instead of effing off at the mouth behind your keyboards like the sissies you are. LMFAO!
Blah, your evil lack of compassion is showing. After you're done defending the heartless elitist pig, get back to your sociopaths anonymous meeting.
Um, Karen, actually Enzo's mommy is taking donations on her website and griping about Ina not granting his wish. She even thanks her supporters for their "cookbook bonfires" (ie. burning Contessa's cookbooks). Doesn't seem like the last thing on her mind....seems like the first. Make a Wish is supposed to help families feel good....not vengeful if they don't get what they want.
After reading your comment, I checked out the mom's blog. She stated that she was joking about the bonfires. Also, if you read the blogs about medically fragile children, you will find many with a place where donations can be made. Not because of a feeling of entitlement but because there are so many things not covered by insurance that families are often hurting financially and will take any help they can get.
Michael Symon is a jewel of a guy, humble and always giving kudo's to you chef, you make Clevelander's proud!
Scotty is right. This is about publicity-seeking and entitlement from the mother, who is trying to make a quick buck at Ina's expense. Ina is a private citizen. She can do charity in her own way. It's not your business PEOPLE! Rather than posting nasty comments about Ina, why don't you guys run off and actually do something valuable for others? Too lazy for that, aren't you?
Kudos to them for stepping up. I was in credibley generous for them to offer their time, especially after Ina " Barefoot Contessa " refussed.

I'm with you Brent, except in one respect. Perhaps the Sonics would have stayed in Seattle if…Read More leadership, both Wasington State and Seattle, had generated a committed vision for a stadium. At the time, our local capacity for action was nil. Sacramento, today, has generated a serious, committed effort in an incredibly short time led by a mayor. Imagine that! So, noting that distinction, Howard, David, and even Clay, are kind of absolved. The threshold criterion in Stern's mind is the will to act on an arena. In that sense, he appears consistent. As for Howard, on one hand he appears to have had his one great imaginative idea when he opened the latte site. Hansen, on the other hand, is a creative generator.

AA Original Manuscript Shows Debate Over Religion
The original manuscript of the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Big Book is being published for the first time, along with edits that changed its references to religion, the Washington Post reported.
The first AA manual, called: "Alcoholics Anonymous: The Story of How More Than One Hundred Men Have Recovered from Alcoholism," was published in 1939, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
First drafted by co-founder Bill Wilson, the 12-step manual has become known as the "Big Book" or "Bible." Wilson's working manuscript is now being published by Hazelden under the title, "The Book That Started It All."
The annotated manuscript shows that Wilson picked a group of people — whose identities are still unknown — to review and edit the Big Book. Their changes and comments indicate there was disagreement over how explicitly to talk about God and religion.
For example, a sentence in the first chapter that read "God has to work twenty-four hours a day in and through us, or we perish," was changed to read "Faith has to work twenty-four hours a day in and through us, or we perish." The anonymous editor explained, "Who are we to say what God has to do?"
The editors also made changes to the 12 Steps as well. In Wilson's original version, Step 7 read, "Humbly, on our knees, asked Him to remove our shortcomings — holding nothing back." The editors suggested it be changed to read, "Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings," because "on our knees" suggested church worship, the Post said.
The Big Book has exerted worldwide influence. Millions have used it to help them with addiction — not only to alcohol, but also to many other substances and activities, including sex, food, and email. It has been adopted for use by Jews, evangelical Christians, the former Soviet Union, and the Islamic government of Iran.
"If it had been a Christian-based book, a religious book, it wouldn't have succeeded as it has," said Nick Motu, of Hazelden Publishing.
The book was published at a time when the public tended to see alcoholism not as a disease, but as an indication of weak morals. The doctor's opinion at the book's opening, by contrast, called it "a kind of allergy." That represented a radical shift in thinking.
"We didn't have any knowledge then about the brain. Today we know there is a neurological component, we know there are spiritual, psychological and environmental components," said Joseph Califano, founder of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
It is still unclear how Wilson's manuscript was edited, or who its editors were. Before its publication, Wilson sent the manuscript to about 300 doctors, religious leaders, and people in recovery from alcoholism. The actual number of editors was probably smaller, according to the Post. Since its publication, the book has gone through four editions almost unchanged, although the stories of those in recovery have been replaced with newer ones several times.
Wilson and his wife Lois kept his manuscript until the late 1970s, when she gave it to a friend. In 2004, it was auctioned by Sotheby's for about $1.5 million; it was sold again a few years later to a man who gave it to Hazelden for publication.
The fourth edition of the Big Book can be found online.

Women have leadership roles in government, business, academia and entertainment. Imagine what else would be possible with Scout training.
Perhaps the military, in integrating men and women, had it easier than the Scouts would in integrating boys and girls. Nonetheless, Britain's Scouts successfully went co-ed in 1991. Schools, clubs and churches have trained boys alongside girls for much longer.
And the Boy Scouts of America need look no further than its own Venture program for a model of co-ed adventures outdoors.
Scouting membership declined 16 percent from 2002 to 2012, according to the Boy Scouts' annual report, even as the number of boys ages 12 to 17 has remained steady.
Recruiting girls to Scouting could simultaneously recruit their parents and brothers.
Parental involvement is often essential to retaining Scouts and producing Eagle Scouts. Parents can better justify investing the thousands of volunteer hours — weeknights, weekends and vacation days — over a half-dozen years to an organization that welcomes and develops each of the family's children.
Recently, Gen. Stanley McChrystal and City Year have been working to rekindle the American spirit of service and sacrifice. Perhaps their challenge would be less onerous if all youths were exposed to that spirit at an earlier age.
That is why Baden-Powell taught that "the spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light."
Well, the spirit is there in my daughters, too. And it is in girls across America. Their spirit, too, ought to be discovered and brought out.
Scouting is a tradition-oriented organization. Our traditions ought to guide us, not bind us.
Other changes are underway as the Boy Scouts adhere to Matsuo Basho's counsel: "Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise — seek what they sought!"
That is why the organization accepted the help of female adult leaders. That is why it is changing other membership restrictions.
And that is why it should change its rules regarding girls.
Welcoming all youths into Scouting would fulfill each of the values espoused in the Scout Law.
We Eagle Scouts and adult leaders take pride in helping fulfill the 103-year-old Scouting quest to transform youths into leaders. We should ensure that it endures for all.
Gharbi is an Eagle Scout, Army veteran and Boy Scout merit badge counselor who lives in St. Paul, Minn. This column first appeared in the Washington Post.

GarageBand updated to include support for Audiobus!
Wed, March 20, 2013 at 9:58 PM
In an almost unprecedented move, Apple has updated GarageBand to add support for the extremely popular Audiobus app. Audiobus enables inter-app workflow by offering live app-to-app audio streaming. Within 3 months, Audiobus has welcomed aboard over 100 iOS apps. With GarageBand support we imagine that just about every iOS developer will be looking to add Audiobus compatibility to their music creation apps.
We've tested GarageBand with a handful of popluar Audiobus compatible apps and everything worked as expected. Audiobus is an essential purchase. We could be witnessing the birth of a new standard here. Exciting times!

Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
But with Lisey's Story, King has accomplished one more feat. He broke my heart.
Lisey's Story is, at its core, a love story--heart-wrenching, passionate, terrifying and tender. It is the multi-layered and expertly crafted tale of a twenty-five year marriage, and a widow's journey through grief, through discovery and--this is King, after all--through a nightmare scape of the ordinary and extraordinary. Through Lisey's mind and heart, the reader is pulled into the intimacies of her marriage to bestselling novelist Scott Landon, and through her we come to know this complicated, troubled and heroic man.
Two years after his death, Lisey sorts through her husband's papers and her own shrouded memories. Following the clues Scott left her and her own instincts, she embarks on a journey that risks both her life and her sanity. She will face Scott's demons as well as her own, traveling into the past and into Boo'ya Moon, the seductive and terrifying world he'd shown her. There lives the power to heal, and the power to destroy.
Lisey Landon is a richly wrought character of charm and complexity, of realized inner strength and redoubtable humor. As the central figure she drives the story, and the story is so vividly textured, the reader will draw in the perfumed air of Boo'ya Moon, will see the sunlight flood through the windows of the Scott's studio--or the night press against them. Her voice will be clear in your ear as you experience the fear and the wonder. If your heart doesn't hitch at the demons she faces in this world and the other, if it doesn't thrill at her courage and endurance, you're going to need to check with a cardiologist, first chance.
Lisey's Story is bright and brilliant. It's dark and desperate. While I'll always consider The Shining, my first ride on King's wild Tilt-A-Whirl, a gorgeous, bloody jewel, I found, on this latest ride, a treasure box heaped with dazzling gems.
A few of them have sharp, hungry teeth. --Nora Roberts

Thailand's prime minister has said he will seek urgent talks with China after the water level in the Mekong River plunged to its lowest level in 20 years.
The river, which has its source in China, underpins the livelihoods of more than 60 million people in Southeast Asia.
Al Jazeera's Aela Callan reports on problems downstream attributed to dams in China
Speaking on Sunday, Abhisit Vejjajjiva said it had become obvious that the low water levels were threatening communities along the river and he had asked foreign ministry officials to meet with Chinese representatives as soon as possible.
"We'll ask China to help manage the water flow along the river better so countries in Southeast Asia would not be affected," the Thai prime minister said in his weekly television address. China has planned eight hydroelectric dams on the upper stretches of the Mekong, four of which have already been built, and many farmers and fishermen who depend on the river have blamed China for the falling water levels.
Fisherman have reported dramatically falling catches, while cargo boats have been grounded and farmer have seen crops fail as vital irrigation sources dry up.
Environmental groups have long blamed China for shrinking the Mekong and causing other ecological damage by building dams.
Chinese officials however have denied that the damming of the river is responsible for problems further downstream.
In a statement to Al Jazeera on Monday the International Regional Cooperation Office of China's southern Yunnan Province said the dams "have very limited impact on the Mekong" while a severe drought had reduced the amount of water reaching the river.
The statement said China accounted for less than 14 per cent of the Mekong's water, while over 80 per cent comes from Laos and other countries.
"The Chinese government gives its full consideration to the downstream nations; we have very strict environmental evaluation for the dams to ensure the amount of the water and the quality of the water," it said.
"This year, there's been a severe drought in Yunnan province in China where the upstream Mekong passes through; the water level has been low because of climate change but not the building of the dams."
Urgent talks
The issue has become an urgent topic at the Mekong River Commission, a regional body which brings together Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam to oversee the management of the river.
China is not a member, but attended talks on the issue last week with the commission in the Lao town of Luang Prabang.
Andrew Walker, a senior fellow at the Department of Political and Social Change at the Australian National University, told Al Jazeera he believes the Chinese dams have little impact on the current low water levels in the Mekong.
He said it is difficult to give the exact impact of the hydroelectric dams because the dams were used to store water during the wet season and to release that water during the dry season to generate electricity.
"There might be some minor fluctuations given the balance between dam filling and release, in comparison to the effect of the very low rainfall throughout the region over the past year," he told Al Jazeera.
"Water shortages in the dry season in Southeast Asia are not unusual at all," he added.
Chinese dams
But Witoon Permpongsarcheren, the director of the Mekong Energy and Ecology Network who has been working on Mekong issues for nearly 20 years, said the situation downstream depends on how much water is released from China's dams.
"Upward of the Golden Triangle there are no main tributaries from Laos... so whatever is happening with the flow at the Golden Triangle is almost 100 per cent from China"
Witoon Permpongsarcheren, director Mekong Energy and Ecology Network
"This, apart from the drought and also the management of the dams, will have a tremendous effect on what's going on now."
Witoon said the 16 or 18 per cent of water reported as coming only from China refers to the volume that is released into the South China Sea all-year round.
"Actually 100 per cent of the water [downstream] comes from China because upward of the Golden Triangle there are no main tributaries from Laos," he told Al Jazeera from Bangkok.
"So whatever is happening with the flow at the Golden Triangle is almost 100 per cent from China."
Witoon said it was time the six Mekong countries worked towards closer co-operation.
"They need to come together to discuss how they can release information and how they establish institutional regulations that follow the international river laws," he said.
"There might also be a need to review all of the dams [that have been] planned along the Mekong mainstream not only in China but also downstream."

The Cheap Folding Bike Thread

• Page 5 of 5 • 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Re: The Cheap Folding Bike Threadwhat do you think about the Revo shifter? I had one on my Oyama and didn't like the feel of it, much prefer the SRAM gripshifts I have on my Bike Friday, less plasticcy and the body is smaller which is better for my tiny hands
Xtracycle, Surly Long Haul Trucker, Bike Friday New World Tourist, Giant TCR, 9:zero:7
Re: The Cheap Folding Bike ThreadHere's my blog - A bit of fun
"Riding not racing...."
Re: The Cheap Folding Bike Thread
I have never had a bike with grip shifters of any kind before...so it feels weird. None the less it seems good enough. The shifts are nice and positive, and the size is fine for me.
Re: The Cheap Folding Bike ThreadFirst test commuting by train with the Giant Expressway ("cheap folder").
Unfortunately Mrs Pax has been in hospital for a week, so I drove to the hospital before work with the Giant folded comfortably in the boot (bad photo in the half light): After the visit to the hospital rode to the train station, re-folded the bike, put it in its bag & trained to Central. Then at lunch rode to Woolies in Spring Hill to buy the mandatory fruit etc for Mrs Pax (round trip 15 mins including shopping, so much faster than walking there . After work it was back onto the train : out to Mitchelton station & rode back to the car & then to the hospital. A fun little experiment, that went without any major hitches. The bike in its bag is comfortable enough to carry for a reasonable distance (approx 300m) including up about 40 stairs between Central and our office at Wickham Tce. We move to Petrie Tce soon and I will start using it daily then I think.
Re: The Cheap Folding Bike ThreadQuick update on the cheap folder.
We have moved into the new office a bit out of the cbd. The folder has worked well for the train, and it makes a lunchtime trip into town from the office a breeze. So I'm pretty happy with it. None the less, it is definitely under geared. I run out of gears long before reaching a good speed . It is good fun to ride though, and the quick city trips have convinced me that the hipsters are onto something with the skinny legged jeans...they are fantastic for cycling in the cool weather on the folder.

I study social and economic determinants of health in the population. I use nationally representative data sets to estimate the association of social relationships, income, education, etc. with health, broadly defined to include psychological well-being, affect, cardiovascular risk factors, and mortality. Some examples of my recent work include 1) are social networks associated with lower mortality risk? 2) which types of social relationships are most strongly associated with depression/depressive symptoms? and 3) do health risk factors (e.g. blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking) explain the health advantage of those with more frequent and/or better quality social interactions? I also study racial and ethnic variation in these associations.

Throughout this blog post I am going to run through some key factors to help you get the best out of your blog and how to start ranking your posts by strategically setting out you post with these "blog post tips". I will be running through step by step how to best optimize your blog post by giving you the best blog post tips.
Top 10 Blog Post Tips
Blog Post Tips #1: Be sure to put your main keyword in the title of your post for example in this post I am blogging about the keywords blog post tips, this is giving the reader a heads up of what the blog post is about and also optimizing the title for the search engines to pick the post up and start ranking for these keywords. (shown in video)
Blog post tips #2: Putting your keywords in the H1, H2 and H3 subtitle tags. These are the heading titles for the heading 1, heading 2 and heading three. Again this helps you stand out to Google and gives Google and other search engines a better idea of what the blog post is about. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips #3: By strategically placing your main keyword throughout your post you are further optimizing your post, for example if you are writing a 500 word blog post you will want the keyword throughout the post every 100 words or so. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips What Not To Do
Remember to never spam your own content by stuffing your content with keywords over and over.
Blog Post Tips #4: Make your keywords stand out by italicizing the keyword, bald/highlight keyword and also underline your main keyword. This further helps your post stand out to Google. You will see throughout this blog post I have optimized my post this way. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips #5: Always add an image to your blog post. This helps your post stand out to the reader and also to Google, but don't just add an image and that's that. You have to also make Google read the image as Google is not that clever to see what the image is. We have to tell Google what the image is by entering the main keyword in the ALT Tag or alternative tag. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips #6: hyperlink your main keyword and have it pointing to the blog post of that keyword. So for example I am going to hyperlink the keyword for this post which is blog post tips. You see if you click on this link it will take you directly to this post. This helps further optimize the post to that keyword. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips #7: It is also good practice to have an internal link to an inner page. This can be a page which is relevant to the post you are writing. Example, this post is about blog post tips. I could link it to another post on my blog about – how to set out a blog--. Google loves it when you link to another page on your blog as this allows Google to crawl all over your blog as your pages will all be interlinked together. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips #8: Have a YouTube video on your blog. YouTube is owned by Google so the more you interact Google products together this is a big help for your blog posts. Also by having a value added video with great content will allow people to stay on your blog longer by watching the video. Again the longer people stay on your blog the more Google will help you rank your content as Google see's your content as high quality as people are staying at your content for a long period of time. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips #9: Be sure to add relevant, unique content to your blog posts. The more unique and personalized your content is the more Google and more importantly people will come back to your blog. By allowing people to comment, like and share your blog content the more your blog posts will go viral which means the more eyes you will get on your posts. (shown in video)
"Blog Post Tips" #10: Always at the end of every post give a good call to action. By call to action you are telling the reader what to do next. For example click this link to learn more blog post tips and other blogging strategies that will help explode your business by blogging. (shown in video)
Blog Post Tips
I hope you have enjoyed reading through this post and have got some great value from it. I have so much more value to give to you and your business which you can get from here.

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 — Having observed the comments of the anti-ALCOA participants and in the Sunday SNAP article made me think of a bunch of jackals circling a wounded antelope salivating for the kill.
The purpose of the hearing was "...to address the water quality discharged from dams to give DWQ more input prior to its decision on the...license."
All that was observed was the same old tired rhetoric by the group from Water Rights Committee and a few new spokesmen for them like Mr. Naujoks and other "dam haters." I did not see where any new established or documented evidence or empirical material was presented. It was to me the same old saw — "It's our water."
To the contrary, I did see ALCOA offer the statistical analysis of the work they have done to improve oxygenation of the dam waters and the mention that they are spending upwards of $140 million to keep God's waters flowing in a safe and pure manner for all of us in the Yadkin basin. A bunch of whinny complaints about not being able to put their boats in the lake during a drought season and "we suspect there might be" are not conducive to rationale why ALCOA should not be able to generate electricity from the dams they built, maintain, improve, and where they employ people.
First, let me say, it is not any locality's or "Committee's" water. The mighty Yadkin is the handiwork of God's nature and if anyone owns it, it is He. It is up to anyone using it to use it without despoiling it, providing access to all to enjoy it, make industrial use of it (generate electricity in ALCOA's case), and then pass it downstream so others can use it.
ALCOA, contrary to the shrill bleating of a few, has made every effort to ensure the waters are cared for and used properly under all environmental laws as they have been evolving over the years.
Secondly, I think from all I have heard and read, some local folks and politicians are trying to practice a "license to steal." In none of the verbiage: The Water Rights Committee Trust press releases, letters to the SNAP and Charlotte Observer, picketing in Raleigh, or state meetings, FERC meetings or to my knowledge anywhere has this group of disgruntled folks offered any plan, or method of recompense to ALCOA if they manage to steal the property of ALCOA for their own gains, whatever they may be.
Thirdly, I still have not heard how these fine folks plan to match and pay for the improvements ALCOA has offered to make at their own expense and has been making; Nor have I seen how they are going to pay for the lands to be given by ALCOA to our Morrow Mountain park and other public access areas.
Fourthly, in case it is not known by the "Committee" and the commissioners, the county and us here in Stanly are in the middle of a recession bordering on depression.
It seems that tax monies are going to be froth with deficits in the next few years and it seems absolutely nonsensical to be trying to drive an established industry out of the Yadkin region.
It would seem to me that these nay-sayers would be applauding ALCOA at this time and would be offering a positive plan to help electricity to be produced in the Yadkin River basin by ALCOA — not trying to steal it.
Unless these citizen serving individuals have something to offer, the whining should cease and we should get on with relicensing of ALCOA before we lose this industry and we have to revert back to candles and coal furnaces.
Or maybe we want the horse and buggy days back.

No 'Memorial' in title doesn't sit well
Born just after World War II, to a war veteran, I grew up in the shadows of uncles and cousins who were WWII vets. Many Saturday nights were spent sitting by the fireplace, listening to their war stories of the places they were sent, what they had to endure and what they witnessed. They are my heroes. It is because of what they and U.S. military veterans since, have or are suffering, that I do what I can for any veteran who calls upon me. They have made me and they drive my life.
