The station used reciprocating steam engines to turn direct-current generators. Because of the DC distribution, the service area was small, limited by voltage drop in the feeders. In 1886 George Westinghouse began building an alternating current system that used a transformer to step up voltage for long-distance transmission and then stepped it back down for indoor lighting, a more efficient and less expensive system which is similar to modern systems. The war of the currents eventually resolved in favor of AC distribution and utilization, although some DC systems persisted to the end of the 20th century.

Cronise formed The Sword in 2003 with guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie, and drummer Trivett Wingo, after writing and recording music on his own for "a few years". The majority of the band's early material was written solely by the frontman before the band was formed, although when it was released in 2006 in the form of Age of Winters the musical compositions were credited to the band as a whole. For Age of Winters and the 2008 follow-up Gods of the Earth, Cronise was credited as producer in addition to his contributions of guitar and lead vocals. Prior to the recording of the band's third album Warp Riders, Cronise enlisted in singing lessons to improve his vocal performances, claiming that he "stepped it up a little bit" for the album. Noting that his vocals were "probably the most criticized aspect of [the band's] music", he defended himself by claiming that "I hear what I meant to do", and proposing that maybe people "don’t really understand what we’re going for".

On addressing the "Fire Russo!" chants, Russo said he was not head of creative during that time and when the idea of the electrified steel cage was presented to him, he said that there was no way that the concept could have been done in a believable manner and that he was often blamed for ideas that he never even came up with. At the September 2009 No Surrender pay-per-view, Ed Ferrara joined TNA and began working on the creative team with Vince Russo and junior contributor Matt Conway. On October 27, 2009, Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff signed with TNA and were paired with Russo, whom they had conflicted with in WCW and had not worked with since they departed the company after Bash at the Beach 2000. In 2010, when Hogan was about his relationship with Russo at TNA, Hogan said he came to TNA in peace, that the writing staff of Russo, Ed Ferrara, Matt Conway, and Jeremy Borash have really "stepped it up", and that Hogan loved Russo "from a distance".

For more than 25 years now, he is on the ride of his life hoping to achieve his main goal of bringing home an Olympic medal in 2010. Although he has not celebrated a major win yet, never placed first on the World Cup podium in 45 starts until the Vancouver Winter Games, Rob, who finished as runner-up in three snowboard cross races on the highest level so far, stepped it up big times over the past years. In a sport where the world's elite is wide and almost everyone can beat the whole field, the Squamish resident learned how to consistently ride into the semi finals and also to take advantage of his skills in the time trials which are so important for the running order to choose the lines in the heats of four. And although he failed a few times when it would have been important to nail it down – especially his crash on the second to last jump in the Stoneham final of 2009 is still the hardest mistake to forget – the "gymaniac" built up the confidence and the shape to be one of the top bets for victory.
