Problem with AP source
The AP source URL is giving me a blank page.

Much older by same author:

For perspective, I've got no grid power (Irene), and we'll probably only run our backup generator for an hour or so maybe twice a day, to ration fuel in case the outage goes on for many days. Review is rather difficult under these conditions. --Pi zero (talk) 15:04, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * they moved it.......@#$%! I put a'lot of work into this article......especially with the OR........annoying. I'm not putting anything else into it. If the OR doesn't prop it up enough, or someone else doesn't feel like grabbing something else out there......oh well. Very annoying and de-motivating.Bddpaux (talk) 16:58, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I'm very glad that you did, as the article is now pushed out to Main Page. Blood Red Sandman  (Talk)   (Contribs) 11:42, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
