I haven't played it yet but got my copy today and was looking through the manual a bit. Is the AFL mode something new or have they had that before? (I haven't played Madden in years.) Lana will have her copy tomorrow night too, so anyone on xbox live will have to look for us! I'm sure she and I will both suck ass in the beginning (especially lana!), but always up for a game.

DUDE, you should ship those babies back to Magnepan and let them refurbish them. I've yet to hear a pair, but tympanis are some of the most badass Maggies ever made....Those things would kill a lot of quality stuff you can buy new today! (you can probably tell, I love Maggies )

Are you still rockin' out with the Maggies? I have 3.6r's for mains

Hmmm....we may need a second opinion since your count was so off. Please have moo at my place no later than 8pm this Friday.

LOL

BillinNYC is getting you Madden 11? lol

I heard a rumor that Lana may be getting Madden 11 this wek...

I really hate that about baseball...and I LOVE it about football. It's so much better when there is at least some semblance of a level playing field for all teams to compete. Obviously teams like the Bills will still be at a slight disadvantage compared to a team like the Redskins or Dallas, but we should never be in a position where we can't field a winner due to the financial strucure of the league. It's sad that we never see smaller market teams look like the Pirates did back in the 80s and early 90s...I hate having 4-6 teams with all the talent year after year and the small markets serving as glorified farm clubs for the rest of MLB. Even though my teams plays in the 5th or 6th largest market in the country, I still would rather see a more level structure to the league. The disparity in payroll is ridiculous.

That's some scary sh*t man...I hate to imagine what our BP would look like about 45 or 50 seconds into that minute period of apnea! I bet its easily over 200 systolic. I can't get this mask on fast enough...I'm honestly scared for my life when I go to sleep the past week or so!

That was YOU!?! Why you dirty mutha....!!!

lol, that does sound pretty fugged up! They said they count an episode when it's longer than 10 sec....not sure how many I had that were a minute, but definitely wasn't 100

Just preordered mine from Amazon...didn't buy Madden '10 last year, and hadn't had a console before that for long time....can't wait to play again!

I typically feel the same way. I will watch every scrub who suits up for the Bills, but not so much with other teams. That beign said, I'm very interested to see how some of the more notable rookies do in preseason, mainly Tebow and McCoy...so I'll probably watch more of the CLE and DEN preseason games. I'm just so glad that football is back...holy crap!

LMAO!

They havent' yet, but I haven't heard back from my doc yet...I will definitely discuss it with him before he writes the Rx. Apparently if I don't go with what the recommendation was of the interpreting MD, I have to go back and have further testing done. It was interesting to hear that they were able to determine exactly how much sleep I got, whether I was in a dream state, etc. I guess it doesnt' surprise me given that I felt ridiculous with all those wires hooked up to me, but still cool to hear the results. Bipap is sort of a bad word to me, because that's what we put patients in the hospital on when they go into the initial states of resp failure (prior to the need for a vent). Same concept but much different application, obviously, but still woudl rather be on regular ol' cpap I think lol. Hopefully I'll hear from MD in next day or two, so I'll let you know what he says. Thanks for the discussion...it helps me a lot to hear of your (and others') experiences!

Thought I would offer a quick update on my progress: Spoke with the sleep lab today and they reviewed the results with me. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, my 02 sat dropped below 59%....they confirmed that the specific number was 56% ( ) and that I stopped breathing an average of....drumroll please....seventy-eight times per hour. Holy CRAP man. I remember them testing me on two different masks and several different settings, and as it turns out the interpreting pulmonolgist dude thinks I shoudl start off on bi-pap instead of cpap. For those who don't know the difference, cpap is "continuous positve airway pressure" that allows you to breathe naturally and prevent your airway from being obstructed. Bi-pap is where there are two different levels of alternating pressure (one for exhalation and one for inhalation) where you actually get a little boost to take a breath a certain number of times per minute. Needless to say, bi-pap is for more severe apnea, which I obviously have So anyway, I called over to my primary doc's office today and confirmed that they had rec'd the sleep study results, and now I'm just waiting for him to write me a Rx to go pick up a machine and mask. The more I think about this whole ordeal, the more I wonder how the hell I've even been functioning lol. Hopefully I'll have more energy, be much more alert, and start to have more motivation to lose weight....and just in time for FOOTBALL SEASON!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!

I LOVE iTunes. I don't use it quite the way you do, but I love how it keeps my entire music collection organized and labeled. I use a Squeezebox Duet (www.slimdevices.com), which has software that reads my itunes, to an outboard DAC and into my preamp. It's completely changed the way I listen to music. I haven't played a physical CD in over two years. I don't have the energy to start a vinyl collection from scratch, but I am a believer in analog

What? you like dumb chicks or something?

I'm huge into home theater/ home audio, but not much into the DIY scene.

Britney is much hotter than she looks. She's very witty, very funny, and very smart. When you combine that with the looks, she's one fine package

Are you the sabateur, Rico?

Hell yeah I'm gonna watch! I love this damn sport, and I love my Bills of B-lo!!! The late summer/early Fall is my favorite time of year by far....I'm so excited that football is back!

lol, that's gotta be the laziest, least inspired movie title in history

...and rest assured, that time WILL come!
