Can I Make a Belay Loop?
I know that this may sound like a death wish, but I have an old harness without a belay loop. Can I tie my own belay loop?
Sure, and make your own seat belts while you've got the spool of webbing out.
Harnesses without belay loops are built that way for a reason: simplicity. What will you gain by adding a belay/rap loop -- and a homemade one at that! -- to your harness? If you add a loop, you add a complication and a potential failure point: Your tied loop will surely come untied as soon as you lean back over the Great Roof.Stop dwelling on what you see as a half-empty cup and focus on what you do have: a beating heart. Instead of jury-rigging a suicide bomb, part with some cash and get a harness that has all the features you need. Yes!

text: King Lear is usually considered one of Shakespeare's most brutal plays, but in fact physical violence occurs rarely on stage: this blinding being the most stressful - yet, in fact, as appears here, the cruelty is impossible to show directly, and is usually concealed from the audience though Gloucester's bloodied face will usually be shown afterwards. Cornwall is wounded as part of this scene. Later Edgar does kill Oswald in straight fight, and the second killing on stage, Edmund's, is also by Edgar, but conducted as part of a formal duel and is not monstrous.

I would rather Helm get an A over Filppulla. Maybe not Cleary, I'm not sure. With a 3 man alternate captain rotation, it makes sense that Datsyuk and Kronwall each wear an A, as forward and defensive leaders, respectively. But I would rather the bottom six have representation than another skill forward. Especially when the player in question (Helm) has the heart and will to be a true leader.
If Cleary get an A over Flip, I think that sends a pretty clear message that Kenny wants to re-sign Dan this summer. It will certainly be interesting to see who gets it, that is if they even continue rotating it.

The new Geo2.1 is carrying the torch of the original Geo, the Geo2 has proved to be huge success. Teams and players across the world have been drawn to the supremely smooth and quiet operation of the marker, while the rugged reliability and simple maintenance make it a true Eclipse product. Now, the Geo2.1 brings some of the critically acclaimed features of the recent Ego to the Geo. Namely the New POPS ASA and the Angled Swivel on the SL3 regulator.These 2 new additions further improve the already exceptional ergonomics of the Geo2 as well as producing a sleeker and more attractive profile. Of course all the other characteristics of the Geo2 remain, such as its excellent handling of fragile paint and the fully featured and E-Portal compatible electronics. This is still Geo. Just Refined.
POPS stands for Push-On-Purge-System and is a completely new concept in On/Off/Purging ASAs. The idea is simple, push back on the front Bonnet section of the POPS and this depresses the air system valve pin - gassing up the marker - before latching itself into place; the operation takes just a fraction of a second. Once gassed up the bonnet stays in position until the pushbutton on the side of the POPS bonnet is depressed, at which point the bonnet POPS forward and the marker purges itself of air; again, de-gassing takes a fraction of a second and very little effort. The new POPS features, T-Slot mounting to the frame, but this time with a longer adjustment range than on previous Eclipse ASAs. The POPS also incorporates front porting for the first time on an Eclipse ASA, together with a new fitting that seals without the need for Loctite or PTFE tape and which can be quickly and easily removed with a hex key. Shortened Macroline transports air into a second fitting in the new, angled swivel on the exceptional SL3 regulator. In order to make this possible on the Geo2.1, the Purge Control Valve (PCV) that was previously mounted in the reg swivel has been completely re-designed and moved into the FRM above the reg. This makes the PCV more robust and reliable ensuring the Geo2.1 is safe at all times.
Geo2.1 KEY FEATURES
Gen2 Propshaft Assembly - The Geo 2 comes with a completely new Propshaft Assembly. The design introduces a spring-loaded Drive Core. This Drive Core prevents air loss both on the firing stroke of the bolt, leaving residual, previously wasted air trapped in the valve chamber, as well as ensuring the valve chamber is fully sealed prior to re-filling on the return stroke of the bolt. This results in better efficiency and faster recharge of the valve chamber. The New Finned Propshaft Tip helps keep the propshaft and bolt concentric at all times.
SL3 In-Line Regulator - The SL3 regulator is more accurate, more consistent, with less creep and faster recharge than any previous Eclipse Regulator. On top of that it will allow the Geo 2.1 to operate with LP, MP or HP tanks with no fluctuation in performance or velocity. Switch from HP tank to LP tank without needing to adjust the regulator. The New design means that the Geo 2.1 will shoot down to the last 200psi of tank pressure with next-to-zero loss in velocity. The new SL3 regulator also has reversible and replaceable reg seal.
Shaft4 Barrel - The Shaft4 has been developed specifically to improve efficiency and consistency. By manipulating the length and bore of the rear control bore section the new barrel gives higher velocities than older Shaft barrels for the same settings. This leads to an improvement in efficiency and consistency as well as reducing the sound signature of the marker.
Geo 2 GST Bolt Assembly - After the phenomenal success of the GST kit for the Geo, the Geo 2 receives the same treatment as standard. GST Can and GST Geo 2 bolt now work in conjunction with the new sprung Drive Core to further reduce recoil and sound signature, making the Geo 2.1 supremely smooth and quiet.
2010 Circuit Board - New Circuit Board has 92% larger LCD screen with adjustable backlight colour. Optimised solenoid drive circuitry offering increased accuracy of Dwell and ROF control. 16-bit, 16mips PIC microprocessor. Micro and Opto trigger sensing. New GUI (Graphical User Interface).
Connectivity - Capable of connecting the Geo 2.1 to a PC giving the ability to upload Firmware, make Splash Screens and remotely adjust parameters. (Requires Optional USB Adaptor, Software and Cable).
Wider Frame-to-Reg Spacing - An increase in the stance of the Geo 2 changes the basic feel of the marker and allows higher rear hand placement. New 2010 bearing carrier also allows higher trigger placement to match the higher rear hand position resulting in a more instinctive and pointy feel to the marker.
Of course these are just some of the headline changes to the Geo 2.1. On top of these there are the dominant Geo features that have been brought through to the latest creation, such as the ISCIS ACCESS TO THE PLANET ECLIPSE TECHNICAL AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT NETWORK MAKE TECHING A BREEZE... valve system, low dynamic seal count, Cure bolt technology, Deftek feed, Break-Beam Sensor System, POPS ASA, Clamping feed, tool-less maintenance as well as access to the Planet Eclipse Technical and Customer Support network making teching a breeze.
The primary changes combined with the core Geo and Planet Eclipse values take the Geo 2.1 to the next level. To make it one of the smoothest, quietest, efficient, well balanced, lightest, reliable spool valve markers on sale today, and to nail it firmly into upper echelons of high-end paintball equipment.
Please wait, your items are being added to the cart...

Fowler is the act of finding out a girl/guy is engaged, and doing everything in your power to hook up with him/her once last time.

One that displays highly pretentious, demeaning and abusive behaviors when interacting with people they believe are inferior. A Fowler will talk ad nauseum about their Mensa-esque IQ but exhibit catastrophically low social skills, even on TV or in front of their own children. A Fowler is so odious that they offend multiple people or cultures simultaneously. A Fowler may be accompanied by a life partner who is gratuitously enabling and oblivious secondary to cerebral damage incurred by new age holistic posturing. Reference: Stephen Fowler, Wife Swap episode.

A person who sets snares and lies in wait for prey. Derived from the word "fowl", common prey for trappers in old times. The word also gained popularity in the years of Early Modern English (Shakespheare, the King James version of the Bible) as a symbolic term for a person who maliciously uses deception to ensnare or trap others.
Surely, HE will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
Now that fowler is defined, you are probably wondering what "noisome" means. To be continued.

A Fowler can be found lurking in the shadows near any young woman, particularly blondes. It will use all it's charm and charisma in an extravogant dance to entice aforementioned young women into it's lair where the intent would be to perform an ancient mating ritual. The reality however is that once close to the prey, the Fowler will turn a brilliant shade of red and retract from the situation. The Fowler will then return to it's lair alone, and take up residence on the seat facing his desk with "red tube" on his computer screen.

It's that time of the year when digital distribution platform Steam launches another one of its crazy sales for lucky PC and Mac owners - this time it's the Steam Summer Camp sale, and almost everything in the service's massive library has seen some sort of discount.
From June 30 to July 10 there is a selection of irresistible daily deals, but on top of that there's also a load of great bargains that could easily slip by unnoticed. After spending a morning digging through the Steam catalogue, here are 11 overlooked bargains that you'd be crazy not to own. If you think there's anything missing from the list, however, let us know in the comments - we'll all get through this utterly ginormous sale together.
Time Gentlemen, Please! and Ben There, Dan That! Double Pack - £0.74
Ben There, Dan That and Time Gentleman, Please! are two utterly wonderful point and click games from developer Size Five games (formerly known Zombie Cow Studios) that you really should own. Featuring lines of dialogue such as "I've never trusted you, Hitler!" and a sharp, ingenious script full of hilarious, rude jokes, along with some absolutely brilliant puzzles, anybody who ever moans about the state of modern gaming owes it to themselves to buy at least two copies.
Jamestown - £4.68
Jamestown is another recent darling of Steam; it's a top-down shooter with snappy colours, wonderful 2D art, and a joyous sense of pace and rhythm as you fly your craft around a crisp, colourful rendition of the red planet.
The game advertises itself as a neo-classical top-down shooter set on 17th-century British Colonial Mars, and Jamestown throws up an intriguing take on the classic shmup formula. While it works competently in single-player, there's also a 4-player co-op mode that allows the whole team to progress provided one of your flying quartet remains alive.
The Tiny Bang Story - £2.38
The Tiny Bang Story (which, for some reason, sounds a little bit rude) is a charming game that mixes point-and-click gameplay with Professor Layton-style puzzles. The game's quaint watercolour planet has been hit by an asteroid, and in order to patch everything back together you need to perform a series of tasks and puzzles for the splintered populace. As you do.
Toki Tori - £0.87
Toki Tori was originally a puzzle platformer released by Capcom for the Game Boy Advance in 2001. This modern port to Steam adds swanky new graphics but retains the classic formula of using a limited selection of tools to successful gather all of the eggs on each of the game's many stages.
The Steam version also features the ability to rewind and fast forward through mistakes, which helps remove any frustration from having to replay levels due to your mistakes. For less than ninety pence it's an absolute bargain.
Shatter - £1.75
Sidhe's Shatter was originally released on Sony's PlayStation Network, but the PC version is an absolutely excellent port of a great game. Consider it a contemporary take on Breakout or Arkanoid jazzed up with a brilliant modern soundtrack - kind of like what Lumines did to the puzzle genre, but with brick-busting. Shatter is much better than it sounds, trust me; in action the trippy visual effects and colours are almost hypnotic.
The Longest Journey + Dreamfall - £3.74
The Longest Journey is widely regarded as one of the best adventure games nobody knows anything about. It revolves around protagonist April Ryan and a twisting narrative that involves parallel universes and some fantastic puzzles. If you've only ever played the LucasArts point and click games, or are getting into the genre after playing some of Telltale's work, this is a great way to spend a few pounds.
But Dreamfall isn't as good, mind you.

Chinese Developers Dig Into U.S.
Companies Backed by Investors in China Primarily Seek Residential Projects
A Chinese company listed on the New York Stock Exchange is beginning to develop residential property in the U.S., hoping to tap into the hot demand among Chinese investors for U.S. apartments.
Xinyuan Real Estate Co. XIN 0.00 % purchased a site last month in Williamsburg, in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, for its first development in the U.S., a 216-unit condominium building. The company also is scouting for other U.S. projects, planning to sell about 40% of the units it builds to Chinese investors.
Chinese developers of apartment buildings have an edge over U.S. developers when it comes to reaching potential buyers in China, says Omer Ozden, an adviser to Xinyuan and other Chinese investors in the market for U.S. real estate. "If right out of the gate you can get 40% the building sold to mainland Chinese, it's going to be a successful project."
Chinese investment hasn't poured into U.S. real estate as some experts predicted, but it has been steadily growing. An additional two dozen Chinese real- estate companies, both state-owned and private, are also scouring major U.S. cities for property deals, Mr. Ozden said.
Most of these firms are primarily seeking residential developments, though some are looking to acquire commercial buildings or luxury hotels, he said.
In one closely watched deal that is being negotiated, Lennar Corp. LEN.B -0.18 % , a major home builder, is in talks with the China Development Bank for about $1.7 billion in capital to transform two former San Francisco naval bases into huge housing developments.
In recent years, as the Chinese government has tried to deflate a local housing bubble by restricting property purchases, more Chinese capital has flowed to the U.S. A report from the National Association of Realtors said that Chinese buyers accounted for $9 billion in U.S. residential sales for the year ended in March, trailing only Canadians among foreign buyers.
Mr. Ozden, who is also a partner at Beijing Capital, the private-equity arm of the Beijing municipal government, said that Xinyuan is focusing on cities where Chinese investors like to live, primarily New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami. These buyers typically use the condos as investments that they intend to rent out. Some plan them as second homes, or places for their children to live while studying at a U.S. university.
Xinyuan paid $54.2 million for the site in Williamsburg and plans to spend about $200 million on the development. Total condo sales are expected to be in the $250 million to $350 million range.
Finding the right project hasn't always been easy for Chinese investors. Mr. Ozden said cultural differences have often made teaming up with U.S. partners a challenge. Some Chinese developers have relied on close friends, who speak English but know little about real estate, to serve as their negotiators. That has limited Chinese access to deals, and they often see properties only after many local investors have taken a pass.
Foreign investors have stubbed their toe in the U.S. real-estate market before. New York City can be particularly challenging for outsiders unfamiliar with how contractors and unions operate. Mr. Ozden said Xinyuan is hiring locals in New York to help navigate areas like that.
Xinyuan, which was founded in Zhengzhou in 1997, is developing residential buildings in about eight Chinese cities. It was the first real-estate developer in China to list shares on the NYSE, when it had an initial public offering in 2007, according to the company website. This month, it reported third-quarter revenue of $226.1 million and net income of $31.9 million.
The company acquired the Williamsburg site from New York real-estate investor Richard Kalikow, who had foreclosed on the project's developer. Xinyuan plans to build mostly three-bedroom units to appeal to families who want an upscale building but may be priced out of Manhattan.
Mr. Ozden declined to comment on how much Xinyuan intends to charge for the units, but condos in the area tend to sell for around $700 to $800 a square foot. "We think Williamsburg has one of the biggest upsides for residential real estate in the U.S.," Mr. Ozden said.

NEW YORK � Carrie Fisher says she�s coming back as Princess Leia for the new �Star Wars� films.
The actress confirmed that she�ll return as the iconic character in an interview posted Wednesday with Florida�s Palm Beach Illustrated. Casting for the films has yet to be announced, but Fisher answered a simple �yes� when asked if she would be reprising Leia.
The Walt Disney Co. is producing a new �Star Wars� trilogy to take place after George Lucas� original three space epics. J.J. Abrams is directing the first film.
The 56-year-old Fisher joked that Leia is now at �an intergalactic old folks� home.� More seriously, she imagines Leia is �just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle.�
A representative for Disney didn�t immediately comment.

This is my first experience into blogging and I hope that you will be checking in weekly to follow what it's like in the life of an Associate AD and Head Lacrosse Coach on the DIII level. I hope you will understand and appreciate the principles of academic and athletic excellence and feel my experiences will be worth following.
My personal coaching philosophy can be summed up in two words: passion and integrity. I love the sport of lacrosse. Everyday, I am excited by the fact that there is a career that enables me to be intricately involved with the sport of lacrosse. The passion that I have for the sport is contagious. My enthusiasm and spirit for my position as a coach and love of the game is unavoidable. I have worked hard to instill this passion in my teams and have had the opportunity to watch it grow both collectively and individually.
I have had the privilege to work under two of the most recognized coaches in the game, Tony Seaman at Towson University and Dave Cottle at the University of Maryland. In my short time at Stevenson University (formerly Villa Julie College) I have lead the team that only had a varsity team for 9 years in DIII to a 43-24 record including three 10 win seasons. Highlighted by a school record 13 wins in 2008, 3 conference championship games in four years, I am also an Associate AD at the university in charge of all male sports and all athletic facilities.
My coaching ability has been enhanced by my experiences as a professional player. I played 6 years in the MLL along with 11 years in the NLL. I also played 7 years in the USCLA for the Mt. Washington Lacrosse Club after I graduated from Loyola in 1993.
We have just completed our first week of practice and it was a great week of practice. The boys all came back in shape and ready to take on the challenge that the 2009 season will bring. We do a few different things at Stevenson University to bring the team together also reward individuals for their good deeds that I have learn from travels as an DI assistant coach for 10 years.
We try to have an inspirational quote each week to start the practice off with. This weeks "Quote Private" was Freshman Andrew McCrumb who quoted the Baltimore Ravens All Pro Linebacker Ray Lewis.
"If you can go into battle 100% confident that your teammate is willing to fight until he has nothing left in order to achieve the common goal of the team then nothing is impossible."
This week's "Senior story" time was senior Chris Baldwin who talked about his time at the United States Naval Academy. He talked about how the Navy made him understand that being part of a team means not only doing your part but also helping a teammate who may be struggling to do his part "Because a team is only as strong as its weakest member."
One of the things we try to highlight during the season is the play in practice and reward the guys who play the best. This weeks weekly award winners are:
I look forward to sharing the experience and adventures of the 2009 Stevenson University season. If you have any ideas or things you would like to know please shoot me an email.
In the mean time keep living the dream!

|Pseudogaps, Polarons, and the Mystery of High-Tc Superconductivity
|Wednesday, 26 April 2006 00:00
Working at the ALS, a multi-institutional collaboration led by researchers at ALS and Stanford University has identified a pseudogap phase with a nodal-antinodal dichotomy in ferromagnetic manganese oxide materials (manganites). Even though ferromagnetism and superconductivity do not exist together, the pseudogap state found in these manganites is remarkably similar to that found in high-temperature superconducting copper oxide materials (cuprates). This discovery casts new doubts on any direct link between the pseudogap phase and high-temperature superconductivity and adds fire to the debate over one of the great scientific mysteries of our time: What causes high-temperature superconductivity?
Beginning in 1986, the cuprates were discovered to have much higher superconducting transition temperatures (Tc) than known metallic superconductors. Among the possible explanations for high-Tc superconductivity, the pseudogap state has played a prominent role. In metals, electrons occupy a continuous spectrum of quantum states up to a maximum energy known as the Fermi level. When the metal is superchilled to become a superconductor, a forbidden energy gap opens up at the Fermi energy.
Experiments in recent years have shown that the spectrum in the superconducting state of high-Tc cuprates is characterized by a "nodal-antinodal dichotomy": when plotted in reciprocal (momentum) space, the spectrum is shaped like a cloverleaf, exhibiting a gap in the so-called antinodal direction (parallel to the Cu-O bonds), which vanishes along the nodal direction (from the origin running diagonal to the Cu-O chemical bonds). This dichotomous character of the excitation spectrum is generally assumed to be linked to the "d-wave" symmetry of the superconducting state.
In the high-Tc cuprates, this dichotomous gap structure persists even above Tc and gives rise to the so-called "pseudogap state" with finite "Fermi arcs" replacing the original nodal points of the superconducting state. More intriguingly, the pseudogap appears to have two energy scales, with a low-energy pseudogap comparable to that of the superconducting gap and a much larger high-energy pseudogap. Naturally, the high-energy pseudogap is taken to represent the dominating physics.
The investigators used angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) at ALS Beamline 10.0.1 to study a two-layer manganite compound consisting of a mixture of lanthanum, strontium, manganese, and oxygen (LSMO). Such manganese oxide materials become ferromagnetic below a certain critical temperature and display colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), meaning their electrical resistance can change by orders of magnitude in the presence of a magnetic field.
The investigators were quite surprised when the LSMO manganites displayed the characteristic signatures of the pseudogap state as found in the cuprates, including the nodal and antinodal dichotomy. These findings therefore cast doubt on the assumption that the pseudogap state and the nodal-antinodal dichotomy are hallmarks of the superconductivity state and suggests they are a more general phenomenon characteristic of transition-metal oxides.
Moreover, these ARPES experiments suggest the occurrence of a polaronic metal with anisotropic band structure. A polaron is a "quasiparticle" formed when an electron causes a large distortion around it in the atomic lattice of a crystal. Since the surrounding atoms are much more massive than the bare electron, the polaron behaves as a negatively charged particle with a larger mass and lower mobility than an isolated electron. Earlier research at the ALS had linked the formation of polarons in LMSO to the CMR effect ("Polaron Behavior in CMR Manganites").
This latest research goes farther and indicates that polaron formation is crucial to CMR. What might be even more interesting is the now emerging picture that polarons are the basic constituents of a poorly understood mysterious metallic phase that is present in both CMR materials and so-called underdoped high-Tc cuprates and likely ubiquitous to all transition-metal oxides. A proper understanding of this new phase will go a long way in capturing the essence of important phenomena such as colossal magnetoresistance and high-temperature superconductivity.

All but one school district in Erie and Niagara counties will see an increase in state aid next year as the state budget increases aid by nearly $1 billion.
The State Senate finished passing budget bills early this morning, and the Assembly is due back in session Thursday to complete passing the state budget.
The agreement between Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and state legislators allocates $21.2 billion to the state's schools.
"The largest growth portion of our budget was in education," said Assemblyman Sean Ryan, D-Buffalo, adding that the budget will increase aid to schools by $936 million.
As always, the amounts vary from district to district, depending on formulas and reimbursement funds, which depend on how much districts spent the previous year.
Buffalo's aid is up 3 percent.
Sloan is one district that will get a substantial boost, 11.36 percent, much of that from an extra pot of money for districts with low wealth and high property taxes. Iroquois will see an 8.68 percent increase, Cheektowaga will go up 7.66 percent, and North Collins will get 8.43 percent more. The aid figures do not include building aid.
Niagara Falls city schools will get a 4.01 percent boost, Royalton-Hartland will go up 7.1 percent, and Newfane will receive nearly 7 percent more.
The aid does not bring districts back to the high water mark of 2008, when state aid was at its highest.
"It will take a couple years to get back up to where they were," Ryan said.
Only East Aurora will see a drop, of 2.27 percent, because the district will not receive money it got this year for instituting full-day kindergarten.
One district in the region getting special attention is Hamburg Central, one of four districts in the state penalized because teachers and administrators could not agree on a teacher-evaluation plan. Hamburg lost about $450,000 in aid already promised the district.
The agreement restores much, though not all, of the funding lost over the teacher-evaluation plan, Ryan said. It also directs future aid formulas to be based on the total aid without reductions, so future aid will not be diminished.
"Next year's base will be calculated as if they received the $450,000. Otherwise, they would have been behind forever," Ryan said.
Legislators and the governor also agreed that future teacher-evaluation plans will stay in effect until new ones are approved, so funding will not be jeopardized for districts in the future.
"We made an effort to give back," Ryan said. "We don't want the child of that district suffering because the adults couldn't come to an agreement."
Sen. Tim Kennedy, D-Buffalo, said the increase in state aid will help ensure students are well-educated and prepared for the jobs of the 21st century.
"Every student in New York State deserves access to a high-quality education, and this multimillion-dollar increase to schools in western New York will do just that," he said.
Most school districts around the state are finalizing their budgets, which will be presented to voters in suburban districts May 21. Having a firm state aid figure, however large or small, is crucial in figuring out how much money to raise in taxes.
Much of the aid is driven by formulas, and aid for BOCES, transportation and special education is a reimbursement. The more a district spent the previous year, the more it will receive for those categories.
Despite the overall increase, school administrators are worried about long-term trends in expenses and funding for education.
A survey last year by the New York State Council of School Superintendents revealed half of New York State's school superintendents think their districts will run out of money within four years, and 70 percent believe they will not be able to fund required programs within the same period.

WHEATFIELD – A Ward Road man told Niagara County sheriff's deputies Tuesday that he received mail with racist remarks and a threat that he would be hanged if he "didn't get out" of town.
The letter was found with a KKK symbol on the envelope.
The 43-year-old man said this was the second incident of harassment. He said last month he told state police that his home in the 6300 block of Ward Road had tar and eggs thrown on the driveway and possible animal waste was found on the front porch.
The letter which used a racist slur to address him said, "I warned you to get out. Your gonna get hung," according to deputies.
Deputies said the letter, which was postmarked from Buffalo, contained an Equality postage stamp.
An investigation into the matter is continuing.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Thirty years ago, Incline Village got its own little radio station, KLKT, thanks to Dave Metts, Jim King, and 20 dedicated employees who wanted to make our village rock.
KLKT became the little station that could. We told the kids when to stay home on snow days. Parents were instructed by principals not to call the school, but to listen to KLKT at 6:30 a.m. for snow day instructions. We got to tell skiers where the best snow was to be found, and for that we were invited to ski at those resorts free. Payola? No. We were Radio Free Europe for the Tahoe Basin.
When Ski Incline expanded to 8,500 feet with a new quad to become Diamond Peak, Lee Weber Koch invited me to be the first civilian to ride up with her and mountain manager Jim Bradshaw. School was out that day and I didn't get off the air until ten. But they held the line and the kids were peeing in their pants while hating me for holding them up.
Well, to be the first civilian to glide down from atop Diamond Peak would have been nothing to George Galante, God rest his beautiful soul, but it was a memorable honor for me, and it was all thanks to KLKT, and Diamond Peak of course.
We had many memorable KLKT fundraisers for charities. One I remember in particular was a golf tournament in the middle of January. We procured some empty ice cream drums and placed them on the greens. We used tennis balls, and you had to hit the drum before moving to the next hole on cross country skis.
What made it particularly interesting was one of Incline's finest, who shall go unnamed, arrived at tee time with a breathalyzer. You had to be legally drunk to tee off. That's right, if you weren't .08 you had to go sit down, enjoy some conversation, and try again. Only your own capable imagination can pay justice to the scene that followed. The good news is, we raised a respectable amount of cash for charity and nobody got hurt.
One Christmas morning, while playing Karen Carpenter's "Merry Christmas Darling," the phone rang and I picked it up to hear, "We can see you!" I glanced out the control booth window to see hands waving from a condo across the street.
"Come have an eggnog with us when you get off the air."
"Why wait ... I'll be right over."
I put an LP of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on the turntable, flicked out the lights, locked the door and joined my new best friends for eggnog and holiday cheer. We skied together for two days. It was the best Christmas I ever had.
Frank Fisher filed an excellent article on our 30 year reunion in last week's Bonanza if you'd like to find out more online.
It sure was great communing with all those talented and able folks, and it sure was gracious of Dave Metts to host us at the Hyatt. Thank you Dave, and thank you KLKT.

Patriots Point's aggressive marketing plan appears to be paying off.
The Mount Pleasant naval and maritime museum brought in 9 percent more paid visitors for the fiscal year that ended June 30 over the same period last year. Nearly 253,000 people bought a ticket for the tourist attraction on Charleston Harbor.
Admission revenues followed suit, rising 9 percent as well, to more than $3.9 million.
Gift shop sales were up 4 percent to more than $1.7 million while parking fees grew 6 percent to nearly $561,000 and camping revenues climbed 12 percent, approaching $1.7 million.
"We are really doing good," said Darwin Simpson, chairman of Patriots Point Development Authority's finance committee.
He added that the new fiscal year is off to a robust start, with $400,000 added to the state agency's cash account in July, bringing the total to nearly $5 million.
"There were only three days in July that we did not see more revenue than last year," said Mac Burdette, Patriots Point's executive director.
He said August has been a solid month so far as well.
Patriots Point's board chairman Ray Chandler attributed the increase in tourists and revenue to improvements being made in the war relics on display.
The agency, which receives no annual state funding, decided more than a year ago to pump more money into marketing and adopted the catchy theme, "Walk in the Steps of Heroes," seen on billboards and other promotional venues.
Patriots Point said it's also in the throes of upgrading its static war-time artifacts into interactive displays to engage tourists and make their visit more memorable.
"We are on the right path in many areas," Chandler said.
Patriots Point hopes to raise more money and more interest in its collection of old warships to help pay for much-needed improvements to the aging World War II-era aircraft carrier Yorktown.
An environmental assessment completed earlier this year found no imminent threats from oils and other residues left in holding tanks on the 70-year-old vessel. A structural analysis of the ship is up next. By some accounts, it could take nearly $81 million to repair the ship over several years.
Patriots Point officials hope to have the structural analysis in hand by next fall, with some repairs underway in about five years, according to board member Eddie Taylor.
The work is meant to keep the museum ship moored in the harbor for decades to come so future generations can experience an old warship.
Patriots Point's increase in visitors dovetails with a report this week that Charleston County hotels witnessed a "banner" month in July with increased occupancy and higher daily rates over the same month last year.
The Charleston area is reaping the benefits of an improving economy and being named the top tourist destination in the U.S. by Conde Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazines.
