10 Years of the New York Radio Message Board!

A hearty congratulations go out to Allan Sniffen, who has been running the indispensible New York Radio Message Board for 10 years now! It all started when Allan, a Westchester-based obsessive radio fan (and dentist; Opie and Anthony dubbed him "The Radio Dentist", a name I'm not sure he likes) started a message board as an add-on to his phenomenal WABC Musicradio 77 site. The board, originally an innocent place for ruminations on playlists and other 77-nostalgia-stuff, became the essential hang-out and discussion place for the New York radio "scene". Read the board religiously, like I do - it's addictive! - and you'll gain a pretty good sense of the state of radio now, in all it's goodness, badness and ugliness.

I think Allan can go overboard in his defenses of the status quo of the radio industry; his regular cry of "follow the money!", explaining away the constant, crappy brain-dead/bottom-line business decisions that insure crappy commercial radio, is certainly realistic - but it's also depressing as hell and further-discussion-squelching. And his disdain for satellite radio seems like it will never go away. But the guy works tirelessly at providing a steady and safe place for the intelligent discussion of radio, and his opinions are often spot-on, like his current critiques of the Imus show. (He posted today that there was nothing he disagreed with with this John Mainelli column, and I'd have to say I agree with the both of them.)

Allan also has a regular podcast with groovy top-40 jingles, an insistent delivery and a pithy summation of his take on the radio scene. (Wish I could still get it via the iTunes store.) He's a good guy - pun semi-intended - and has been encouraging to me about this very blog, which I'd like to start posting in again. Allan, rock on!

[b] How to Buy a Mattress [/b]

Since a good night's rest depends mainly on the kind of mattress you have, it is natural why people spend much time choosing their mattresses. Therefore, it requires a lot of thinking and scrutiny before buying a mattress because, this time, it already involves the quality of sleep.

Know how to buy a mattress with the following tips:

- The first thing is to know what you want from your mattress. You should beforehand set expectations of the mattress that you want to have so that when you buy, you will not be confused what to choose especially with the wide array of mattresses to choose from.

- Don't sacrifice quality. It is only but natural to be attracted at first to those stores that sell mattresses at a cheaper price. There is nothing wrong with this in the first place. However, one should take into consideration to go first with quality than the price. Remember, it is more practical and wiser to buy an expensive mattress that is in good quality and long lasting, than to buy something that is cheaper but can easily be worn out.

- Choose good brands and reputable stores. Shopping at a reputable dealer will not only assure you of a better mattress, it is also educational. Stores such as those have well-trained sales persons who can assist you in choosing the right mattress and who can give you the right information about the mattresses their store is selling.

- Research online on good mattress brands and on what other consumers have to say on some of their products. This can give the buyer an idea how to buy a mattress and where to buy good qualities of mattress. Browsing the internet with reviews and testimonials about a certain brand of mattress can also be enlightening to you as a buyer because these feedbacks can serve as guides what brand to choose and where to buy it.

- Another "must-do" as part of how to buy a mattress effectively is to check on the quality of the mattress. Accordingly, lifting the corners of the mattress to feel its weight is one way in checking its quality. The heavier the mattress, the more seemingly durable its coils are because, this explains, that the "heaviness" of the mattress is caused by the abundant number its coils with heavy gauge wires. Checking on the durability and the support system that the mattress has is also another way of looking into its quality.

- The best mattress is the most comfortable mattress! Some people find firm and solid mattress to be more comfortable than the soft ones, while some people opted to have the soft ones especially those that conform with their sleeping positions.

- Buy from dealers or merchants who offer warranties. Warranties are very essential because this will not only save you from the agonizing discomfort of an easily damaged mattress, but also it will save the huge bucks of money that you had paid just to have the mattress.

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=http://twitter.com/jetlyca]q Buy Viagra Online[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://viagra.olistupa.ru]Viagra Super Active[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.

Hi, I'm a newbie here, but I already want to bring all the benefits of me :) So, I want to share my experience with you..
9 days ago, accidentally, i had found the Mobile Phone TV...and I was so delighted with this application
that I decided to talk to you :)

I consider myself a bit of a road warrior. I am on and off jets and through airports at least twice,
usually 4 times a week. I can catch up on news, watch a Discovery program, check up on the stock market or just find something interesting.
The live guide works like cable at home and the connection speed is very good. All in ALL - I RATE A 5 Star program!

but I do not want to leave any links here, so you can email me fairyalexiss@gmail.com
and i will give you the site of this unusual program :)

(but please don't PM me, because it's so difficult to communicate in such kind of way)

so, I hope I was helpful to you)) see you in next posts ..

sincerely
your Alexis....

p.s. English is not my native language, so sorry for any mistakes :)
