....would the four detainees from the Memphis to Las Vegas flight that was diverted to Ft. Smith, AR be shaving their bodies?? One news report states that other flight members report that was what they were doing when they locked themselves in the bathroom and refused to come out.

    Does it taste like a cat took a crap in my mouth? Probably because last night I was drinking New Castle while smoking an Onyx cigar and a half a pack of Camel Turkish Golds.

    Why do we mourn the loss of someone when they pass instead of celebrating their life and their time with us? I think that would be a more befitting way to get closure.

    Let me explain a little on my thinking here.

    Mourning seems a very selfish act. We focus on how we will miss the departed, and how we are going to have to adjust without them, etc.

    Celebrating seems like a focus on the departed, giving them a big send-off to the afterlife, and remembering the good times they shared with us, the knowledge that they passed on to us, and how they lived their life.

    Yes, we have every right to be sad at the passing of a loved one, but we should be happy FOR THEM because they have achieved life everlasting.

    do I suddenly have an urge to buy an AR? I've never wanted a "black rifle" in my life until yesterday at the gun shop...

    Around here, AM is the province of talk radio ..many stations carry nothing BUT talk radio.

    Music is the opiate of the masses. One cannot think when one is being fed the cacophony they call `music' today.

    No surprise, here.

    When I drive to WI from ND I listen to NPR on the AM dial almost the entire way, with station changes of course. For long drives, I find talk radio way more entertaining than the same old music played over and over.

    Hate to tell you but in many places they are now also broadcasting AM in stereo as well.

    KJOY out of Stockton CA is one of those AM's that started about 14 years ago.

    AM is in the L/MF transmission band. (Mostly MF). Good for long range, as it can bounce off clouds, etc. It's not restricted to line of sight. However, an electrical storm, and fog/rain can influence the reception. That's why AM is better for talk shows.

    FM is the commercial alloted band for HF/VHF (Mostly HF). Shorter range, and much less affected by weather. So, used for "moozak".

    Aircraft are equipped with both. Can dial in a commercial AM station, and home in on it while listening to the local bullschitt. They're even on navigation charts.

    The aircraft VHF starts at the absolute top limit of commercial FM. Sometimes you can get one of the foreign language FM stations if you have the navigation receiver tuned to the lowest setting. Joe

    When I'm ridding refuel panel on the B-52 I sometimes tune the aircraft's radio to AM and I can pick up broadcasts from England and Japan.

    the carrier wave of fm{frequency modulation} can carry further, have better quality, band and can penetrate better than am {amplitude modulation}

    buildings, tunnels, peaks and valleys can interrupt am more often than fm
