Kniess' Pieces In 1985, while working in Las Vegas at KVBC-TV, the station offered to give me a franchised weekly news feature called, cutely enough, "Kniess' Pieces" (A take off on Reese's Pieces because my last name is pronounced niece, like in opposite of nephew). The condition was I had to sign a 3 year contract doing weekend weather and 3 day a week reporting. I opted to move on to Texas as the Chief Meteorologist at KCEN-TV. Twenty-twenty hindsight being as excellent as it is, I probably should have stayed here at home. OK, my adopted home, if you really want to be picky about it. Sorry, I won't tell you what the news feature was going to be about. At this website Kniess' Pieces is going to be my editorial space. My website, my way. Seems fair to me. Of course, fair is a matter of preception and not reality. Equality is a matter of reality and that's a different story for a different time. You may agree with what I put here or you may not. Your choice and that's fair to me. All I ask is that you truly think about what you read! Welcome to Kniess' Pieces.

The Disclaimer
I've had a lot of emails asking me for more information about the book.
Anyone who has ever written a book is aware of the painful edit process. For me one of the more 'crazy' events surrounding this book was the Disclaimer. Sometimes I laugh until I hurt when I tell this background story. When the lawyer looked over the book, I was told I needed a disclaimer. The reason was simple enough, I have views and opinions expressed in the book and it needed to be very clear those views and opinions were strictly mine and/or those of my niece, Jodi.
Along came the lawyer and in the second paragraph of the disclaimer it's legalese by lawyer wording. The disclaimer was then handed back to me. Anyone knowing me knows a boring one paragraph disclaimer would not get by me without my hand or my twisted mind jumping in and having some fun with it. After I had my turn, the lawyer got it back and went ballistic. "You can't do that", I was told. The end result is the disclaimer is no less legal because of what I did. I fought the establishment and I'm still the victor. However, I am waiting for the other legal shoe to drop. Below is the disclaimer.
Note: The material below is prior to final edit and is from the, newly released, book "Cause and Effects: The Amazing Story Surrounding the 'Perfect Showcase Bid' on Television's #1 Daytime Game Show" This disclaimer is copyright 2010 Krystalco LLC and is subject to existing copyright laws.
Disclaimer
I hate legal stuff; however, my attorney said some of these words were essential, so here goes:
The views and opinions expressed in this book are those of the author(s) and do not in any way, shape or form, implied or otherwise, express or suggest these same views and opinions are shared by any individual, business, company or corporation mentioned herein.
Now for my part of the disclaimer:
Some assembly required, batteries not included, your mileage may vary depending on the way you drive and driving terrain, substantial penalty for early withdrawal.
The reading of this book has not been known to cause any of the following: coughing, sleeplessness, drowsiness, dizziness, cold sweats, night sweats, nightmares, itchy skin, redness or soreness, anal leakage, unusual vaginal discharge, any of the rheas (such as diarrhea, pyorrhea, or gonorrhea), any of the itis (such as sinusitis, bronchitis, colitis, appendicitis), any of the etes (such as diabetes), backache, headache, achy breaky heart, spitting up blood, blood in your urine, blood in your stool, blood on your sofa, blood on your sheets, the inability to concentrate, restless leg syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, missed periods (get a pregnancy test), loss of appetite, excessive thirst, dry mouth, hoof and mouth, kidney stones, kidney beans, kidney pie, irregular heartbeat, irregular bowel movements, enlarged prostate, degenerative bone disease, stroke, heart attack, or death. However, if you develop any of the above (except for the last one), discontinue reading this book and consult your physician, because I have a feeling you’re getting ready to check out. That death thing means you’ve already punched the eternal time clock.
This disclaimer is not limited to what is written on these disclaimer pages. I may also disclaim anything you might think of. SO THERE!
