A while back I picked up a satellite radio reciever called XM Roady 2. It's great. No more commercials! I only pay $10 a month subscription and I can recieve 171 channels (news, jazz, rock, country, soul, dance, 1940's through 1990's music, and everything else you can imagine). I cancelled my cable tv and got this instead... much better! I was going to switch the reciever back and forth between the car and home, but decided to leave it in the home and just make a bunch of music tapes to play in the car. Anyone else here use satellite radio?

My hubby has it in his car. He really likes it. One station he listens to a lot is the "old time radio" station where he hears all the mysteries, westerns, etc.

I've got it in my car - I like to listen to the New Age-y music and the BBC.

Why should I pay good money that I must work for just to listen to the radio? Yes, there is no fade out, many different stations, and very few commercials, but I do not consider it worth the $9.95 per month. S/W radio has two out of the three main marketing ploys of XM satellite radio, and the only cost is for the receiver and the antenna. Reception of broadcasts are completely free once you own the radio, and have erected an antenna. Also satellite radio is still a relatively new technology that has not dealt with severe conditions. There is no guarantee of service if a blackout affects a large portion of the united states as during 2003, while S/W radio is still reliable. The only way I will pay money to listen to the radio is if AM and S/W stations cease to exist, or are impossible to receive.

SIRIUS is better, IMO.

But I like satellite TV better ^ ^

I heard a very good anti-nuclear argument on the radio today. It was Zak Goldsmith on "Start the Week" Radio4, about 24mins of the way through if you want to listen to it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml?radio4/starttheweek

Wind turbines and renewables are also discussed. Well worth a listen though I think a new round of nuclear build is required in the UK in the face of North Sea gas depletion.

this professor and physicist on a popular radio call in show just said the u.s. government uses lasers to control the path of hurricanes. they shine the laser in the eye and control the path. they do this to hit the u.s so they can raise oil and natural prices. he was talking about the oil and gas futures going up when dennis was on its way. and dennis hit the exact place they estimated 3-4 days in advance. and i thought i was a conspirasist.

Yep, Jim has his own way of thinking.

However he has said for years that comets aren't dirty snowballs.

If you scroll down a just a smidge there is a section with little yellow type about comets and has a quicktime movie of one passing the sun and the solar flare he says is caused. He says he has dozens of movies like this. NO doubt it a huge flare and strikes the "dirty snowball".


Watch that movie and then laugh. yea dirty snowballs, not solid structures.

Never say never is perhaps a good motto.

Locked in place never gets you anwhere.

He also said in that interview that HAARP was old technology.

You would think that NASA would have looked at similar movies and wondered how a "dirty snowball" could have caused a solar flare as it passed., Yet this one just absorbs the solar flair and on it goes.

Jim can be hoot, but he keeps looking.

What you discovered lately Armeggedon or proposed in the history of the world of astronomy or physics.

Not trying to be to smart but Jim does spend a lot of his time and his own money carrying out experiments.

Ain't nothin but a try.

and I can't laugh at people that at least try to find answers, even if they are wrong.

Everyone has a brain and powers of observation and learns by doing. Can't blame Jim if they prefer what he has to offer to what somewhat else says.

Physics has always been like religion sorta, always a bunch of different "brands".

So laugh away, but if he is right about certain things later or even now, you will keep your mouth shut and try and forget your manners.

so go on with you bad self laughing at people that at the worst are wrong, but at the best are trying to help the common man understand his universe.

Yeah, reflect it on the side of the eye that you want the hurricane to divert to, right? On the station you are listening to now, are they talike about Hypnosis by any chance? http://www.coasttocoastam.com

[SidneyTawl]

Yep its own here, I didn't know he was going to be on, just tuned in because of something else NOORY said that caught my eye on another board,

Norry says the terrosists slipped some nukes or something with the help of some famous mexican gang M something.

The reports I saw in other places too said it was codenamed "..something hiroshima"

Right we can get the information on the codename, but we can't know who what or where.

Claims its part of a continued effort after London.

Its not a national story, but George wants it to be one. One of his internet sources has him all worked up over it.

[k_semler]

Yep, just another alternative to the MSM FUD, that provides its own FUD to go along with the globalist agenda. Oceania is at war with Eastasia. Oceania has ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia. Also, are you reffering to the gang MEChA? Or MS-13? Those are the only latino gangs I have heard of that start with an "M".

[Specop_007]

Come on Sid. Theres a HELL of a difference between saying comets are solid when opinion says their snowballs and saying the US is controlling hurricanes with a frickin laser.

I envy those guys with their audiences of millions. The whole genre here in America was given a big boost by Limbaugh. I painted his portrait and tried to sell it next to a portrait of Susan Sarandon. But talk radio is big and plenty would sell their souls to get a big audience like that. Isn't that a component of what we do here to get ourselves out and about? To communicate. Having said that I think those guys find themselves in a trap. They develop an angle, a schtick, and have to go all the way with it. That's probably why Limbaugh got hooked on the oxycontin, an existential trap.

[I_Like_Plants]

So how well did the Rush portrait sell?

Are you an artist?

You know those guys all started small, and I mean doing stuff like announcing at the local stock car track and high school ball games, I was shooting a pistol match once and an NRA pistol match requires a good clear-voiced "caller" to do the range commands, well, the guy apparently had others hiring his good voice because he got mixed up and called out "start your engines"! The match started a few minutes late because it took us a while to stop giggling.

There are small-market radio stations all over the place outside the cities and that's how you get started. Or start one of those "virtual" stations on the interweb.

I searched ot see if this has already been posted or not, but couldn't find anything, so please forgive me if I' duplicating posts...

Jim Bell, of San Diego, will be on Art Bell's show this weekend:

It seems like it could be quite a relevant program to this forum.

And I thought Colin Campbell was a tad dull! (yet I like him).

Peter Maass mumbles and says basically, "Well, we'll need about 15 years to prepare for a time when oil will not be available as it has been in the past, so we'd better get started now." No word on the projections of Deffeyes, Campbell, Bahktiari, etc.

The show was a step in the right direction. A baby step. Yet one could come away thinking, "Oh we have fifteen years to prepare." Wouldn't want to frighten the public, would we? They might want things done....

"Fresh Air" is intended to be boring! It's for yuppies to listen to in their BMW and Mercedes and Volvo SUVs and feel superior to those ugly proles in their Ford, Chevy, and GM SUVS. And take their kids to Montessori and soccer while they look down their botoxed noses at those ugly proles taking their kids to church and hunter safety classes. And slurp their latte' while they look down at those ugly proles slurping their Big Gulps. You get the idea. And if you've read Fussell on class in 'murrica, you know the ruling class like boring.
