Okay...where do I start...I'm a little overwhelmed by having such the weighty decision of choosing a donor...it's so hard to know the best choice...I'm usually a "go by my gut" kinda girl, just do what feels right...I'm not sure that'll work in this situation...
Anyway, I had my appointment with my RE today to discuss my investigative cycle results & how we're going to proceed. It was all pretty positive...he mentioned my above normal amounts of follicles but said it wasn't a concern. He was concerned though that my progesterone levels were low after ovulation but he said he would give me a prescription.
We also decided that I would take a low dose of Clomid just to increase my odds...since it is such an expensive procedure, I'll take all the help I can get...it also increases my odds of twins which is scary...I don't even want to think about that...I'll cross that bridge if I get there.
So now I wait for AF...any day now...then the fun begins...okay, so I'm zonked & am going to head to bed...tomorrow I see the psychologist, not sure what to expect there...should be fun.

"Do not seek any permission when it comes to the killing of Americans. Fighting the devil doesn`t need a fatwa (religious edict)." In a video released on November 08, Anwar al-Awlaki boldly called on his followers to murder Americans.
Speaking in Arabic, the bespectacled orator insisted: "This is a battle of Moses and pharaoh. This is a battle of righteousness and falsehood."
Hiding in the southern mountains of Yemen, the US-born radical Islamic cleric has been described in the West as a Yemeni Osama bin Laden. In April, US Congresswoman Jane Harman called al-Awlaki "probably the person, the terrorist, who would be terrorist No. 1 in terms of threat against us". The preacher is the first American on the CIA`s kill or capture list.
In September, director-general of MI5, Jonathan Evans, called al-Awlaki as the West's Public Enemy No 1. "The operational involvement of Yemen-based preacher Anwar al-Awlaki with al Qaeda is of particular concern given his wide circle of adherents in the West, including in the UK."
Who is Anwar al-Awlaki?
Al-Awlaki was born in the southern US state of New Mexico in April 1971. His father, Nasser, received his Master's Degree in agricultural economics from New Mexico State University. Notably, Nasser al-Awlaki later served as Yemen's agriculture minister and president of Sana'a University. Al-Awlaki was seven when his family returned to Yemen.
Later, Al-Awlaki became a US citizen. He graduated in civil engineering from Colorado State University and holds a Master's Degree in educational leadership from San Diego State University.
In 1994, he got married to his cousin from Yemen.
He became an imam at a mosque in Fort Collins, Colorado, before returning to San Diego in 1996. Here he took charge of the city`s Masjid Ar-Ribat al-Islami mosque for four years.
According to reports, two future 9/11 hijackers, namely Khalid al-Midhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, used to attend his sermons.
Al-Awlaki then moved to the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church in early 2001. Al-Hazmi and a third hijacker, Hani Hanjour, used to attend the mosque.
In 2002, he left the United States and made the United Kingdom his new base for giving lectures to Muslim youth. In early 2004, he returned to Yemen.
Soon, he managed to get the post of a lecturer at al-Iman University in Sana'a, headed by Abdul-Majid al-Zindani. Notably, the US Treasury Department and the UN have designated al-Zindani a "specially designated global terrorist" for his suspected links with al Qaeda.
Al-Awlaki shot to fame after his preaching was linked to a US Army psychiatrist, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people in Fort Hood, Texas, on November 05, 2009. Following the shootings, al-Awlaki called Major Hasan a hero.
"My support to the operation was because the operation brother Nidal carried out was a courageous one," he told al-Jazeera.
Al-Awlaki is believed to be the spiritual mentor of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The radical cleric's teachings were then linked to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian student accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound passenger jet on December 25, 2009.
In May 2010, al-Awlaki was mentioned by Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad. According to an American official, the Pakistani-American man said he was inspired by the violent rhetoric of al-Awlaki.
US anti-terrorism agents also believe the preacher was operationally linked to recently foiled mail bomb plot.
The cleric has spread his ideas through Internet as well. Although YouTube recently removed some of his sermons, yet many of his other English-language videos still remain accessible. He is said to be the leading English-language al Qaeda propagandist.
Of late, a report claimed al-Awlaki met US' top military personnel at a luncheon at the Pentagon just months after September 11 attacks. According to Fox News, some documents state that al-Awlaki was taken to the US Department of Defence`s headquarters as part of the military`s outreach programme to the Muslim community.
US pressure
In 2006, Yemeni authorities imprisoned al-Awlaki but released him 18 months later.
The Obama administration may soon deploy more Predator drones in Yemen to strike against al Qaeda in the country. The United States has even committed nearly USD 150 million to build Yemeni counter-terrorism capacity.
US President Barack Obama has approved the targeted assassination of al-Awlaki. Moreover, a judge in Yemen recently ordered the police to nab the radical preacher "dead or alive". He was charged – in absentia – with inciting violence against foreigners.
However, critics called al-Awlaki's trial as a "game", just to conciliate the US. The Yemeni government denies this.
Al-Awlaki is currently thought to be hiding in the arid, mountainous southern province of Shabwa. He belongs to powerful Awalik tribe, which is believed to be sheltering the preacher. Capturing him will surely prove to be a gigantic task for the forces since they must fear backlash from the tribe.
The US needs to defeat al-Awlaki and for doing this, it needs to look for ways to connect with local Yemenis directly affected by AQAP, so that it can isolate the movement.

When you measure yourself, if possible, do so in front of the mirror so you can ensure that the tape measure is
horizontally positioned around your body. Hold the tape measure close against your body but don't pull it too tight.
Measure the fullest part of your bust ensuring the tape measure is even and horizontal at the back. Handy tip: Wear your favourite bra you would wear under your tops and dresses.
Your waist is the smallest part of your torso - it is usually a centimetre or so above your belly button. Wrap the tape measure around your waist, ensuring it is comfortable but not loose. Be sure not to squeeze your stomach in!
Measure around the fullest part of your bottom or at the top of your thighs, whichever is widest. Make sure the tape measure is even and horizontal at the back and again keep the measuring tape close to your body but don't pull it too tight.

Petrol Scarcity Persists In Kaduna, As Oil Marketers Forced To Sell At Approved Price
There seems to be no end in sight in the lingering scarcity of petrol in Kaduna state especially in the state capital, as many filling stations hoard their products in the day but dispense at exorbitant prices at night.
This has forced many motorists to either park their vehicles at home while those willing to bear the brunt are subjected to buying the product for a price as high as N250 per litre from black marketers.
Our correspondent who is monitoring the situation in the state capital reports that officials of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) have uncovered some of the petrol station owners hoarding petrol or selling above approved pump price, and subsequently forced them to sell at the N145 per litre approved pump price.
The agency during a routine inspection of some petrol stations in the state capital also sanctioned some marketers found to be under dispensing the product to members of the public.
This is despite reassurances from the Kaduna Refinery two weeks ago that it has commenced production of PMS and will soon flood the market wita enough products.
Speaking on the situation, the DPR Operations Controller Kaduna Zonal office, Isa Tafida, who led the inspection of the petrol stations, describes the action of the marketers as unpatriotic and inhuman.
He vowed to sanction any marketer caught in an unwholesome act that will worsen the suffering of innocent citizens.
Some motorists, who lamented the hardship they are facing as a result of the petrol scarcity, commend DPR officials for the close monitoring of petrol stations and ensuring that the limited products are made available to the public.

Oh how I love the way, tears suits my face
Bbzs posted a topic in Mortician's GuildWe had our monthly tournament, and I was dedicated to make all my games for Hemlock! http://www.longshanks.org/events/?event=447 video of the 4th game: https://youtu.be/w1hZYclrwGY The first table was recorded on the tournament, so instead of pictures I have a video evidence of this game. Hopefully this will be good enough! :) (If not, let me know, and I'll cut a few pics from the video...) My round four opponent is our best player - which is basically a given thing on a final match, but I have to say he bested me in many games (game systems) before. Anyway I had a very good kick off with Scalpel, where only Tower could reach the ball - and even then he had no one to pass just to open space. So if he goes for the ball, I can beat him up as he has no momentum to counter and second wind into safety, or if he does something else I can grab the ball and save it for a next turn goal! So he hard rolled a 4+ Goad with the monkey on Scalpel, and my game was over. I lured the monkey, he moved Brick to counter charge range. I moved up with Silence into countercharge range. If he moves in, I can free up Scalpel and live, if not, I can block Tower with a fire template and hope for a 50-50 initiative roll... He moved in, and also engaged Scalpel. Finally I moved into the monkey, push dodged and killed the poor bastard, but as my opponent had the ball, he repositioned hisplayers to reach Silence and left him on 1 life. He had the ball and the left side of the table, so I went into guerilla mode and tried to apply hit n run damage with Scalpel. My hope was that he score a goal early and I can kill and counter before he finishes off two of my players or get the ball back. Anyway I killed Flint and Mallet and he get Cosset too. 5-4 to me and I had a 10 minutes clock advantage to. Flint finally went for the goal in a last activation in a turn, where all his teammates ganged on Dirge and has a sure first activation next turn. And my goal kick not scattered enough to leave Flint range, and ha was able to get momentum on Cosset, and get the winning goal even with Silence in the way. I was hoped for a lucky miss, but he bested me in a close and fair game, an almost excellent finis of the day! (And now give me my veteran Hemlock now!!4!)
In my darkest moments I cry
Bbzs posted a topic in Mortician's GuildWe had our monthly tournament, and I was dedicated to make all my games for Hemlock! http://www.longshanks.org/events/?event=447 video of the 3rd game: https://youtu.be/Do2s3F8hjJY The first table was recorded on the tournament, so instead of pictures I have a video evidence of this game. Hopefully this will be good enough! :) (If not, let me know, and I'll cut a few pics from the video...) My round three opponent was my good friend and his Rage Union, he also in the league and in a previous report with Fish. I have to say, I truly impressed the way how this league runs, all my participating opponents showed better skills in this tournament than before. Agendas are a great way to introduce different elements of the game. In this Game I was truly surprised, how my opponent answered my second turn goal with an immediate counter goal - with Minx. (Ha was a 6 TO guy before.) He completely ruled one side of the table and one by one killed my guys there - first Cosset, than Silence... only Graves left to be the next victim. I binged back my players on the other side, so in time I had a number advantage there. Had my kills too - for example Cosset kicked Averrise butt hard with the help of Dirge and Silence... We were around 8-8ish this point. He tried to bring the ball forward with the Snake, but had to pass to open. The ball stopped before his players, and Scalpel was able to pick it up with a sprint and Second Wind movement. But it killed the ball for me that turn, on the other hand I was in a fairly a safe position. He had the option to kill Graves and hope he can win (initial) next round, but he sprinted and dodged with Rage and KDd Scalpel with the Vengeance token. The ball went in the middle of the table, and scattered enough for me to grab it with a Dirge sprint and kick the last goal with the creature! Closest game I ever had! Unfortunately our areas best player also won his match - he was the pair down as the tournament were 12 people strong. So in to the finale!
Cause I like the way, tears fit my cheek
Bbzs posted a topic in Mortician's GuildWe had our monthly tournament, and I was dedicated to make all my games for Hemlock! http://www.longshanks.org/events/?event=447 video of the 2nd game: https://youtu.be/H7L7f0XLLGo The first table was recorded on the tournament, so instead of pictures I have a video evidence of this game. Hopefully this will be good enough! :) (If not, let me know, and I'll cut a few pics from the video...) My round two opponent was a young but talented gamer, who played his Butchers now (Brewers in the league and a previous report). I used to think to Scalpel as a pseudo Fillet, but that girl is a beast herself! The only thing I was able to do was slow her killing to one player per turn. Fortunately he had a bit more confidence at the end (10-8 to him) than he should. So I was able to grab the ball and farm a few momentum on Truffle to shoot a game winning goal - before his next activation secure him the win! It was a very close game and I would recommend the video - you just need to understand Hungarian language for it!

The Phillies have a very young arsenal of pitching, much of which was acquired during last season's firesale. But there is a void for veteran leadership, and Matt Harrison won't be providing it. At least not any time soon.
"We're not expecting him to be here any time soon, if at all this year," Phillies GM MattKlentak said in Clearwater Wednesday. "If things go well, we'll be happy to get him back, but the reality is we're kind of in a wait-and-see mode and we have to let it play out."
Harrison came to Philly in the monster Cole Hamels deal, along with five prospects. Though they were hoping for a veteran arm, they were mostly acquiring $33 million in his salary in order to receive the package of prospects that included Jerad Eickhodd, Jake Thompson, Nick Williams and others.
The 30-year-old has had injury problems in each of the last three seasons, most of them back issues. He appeared in just nine games combined during that time. He is still dealing with lingering woes from two surgeries.
Prior to the struggles of the last three years, Harrison was a solid member of the Rangers rotation winning 14 and 18 games in 2011 and 2012 respectively with an ERA in the low 3-range.
It isn't all bad though. The Phillies, if Harrison does miss the season, should be able to recoup some of that salary money through insurance.

When telling people about forex trading, which I have taken up lately, they often seem to react in a strange way, like they were somewhat confused. They all seem to think that financial trading is something you do if you went to business school and you now work for a big corporate business in the centre of the city. For a long time, this might have been somewhat true, but the fact is that ever since trading started to become available to the general public thanks to online brokers that started to popup around 7 years ago, more and more people have taken up trading as a hobby rather than a career.
The good thing about online trading on the foreign exchange market is that it's easy to learn. You don't have to be a business major graduate in order to understand how trades work. When you trade currencies you simply have to buy a currency at a low price and then sell it again as soon as it's reached its maximum potential and start to drop again. At first, it can be a bit hard to learn how the market works, but by reading the guides and articles provided on forex trading blogs like forextrading.pm you will soon get an idea of the fundamentals that moves the market.
However, If you want to make real profit from the forex market, you're obviously going to have to spend some more time analyzing and researching. This is because in order to make more profit you will have to invest more money, and the more money you have invested, the more you are going to want to be sure that all the trades you make are good. Becoming a professional forex trader is in no way impossible and several traders have already made it their full time profession and they work from home making tons of money. But the road that takes you there can be quite bumpy, so don't expect to get in to the forex market and become a millionaire within a couple of months, because that is rarely what happens.
In order to become seriously good at trading, you need to study quite. To know exactly what currecies to invest in means that you have to be well read, and reading takes time. Have a look at the guides on sites like cotización divisas, and make sure to read the financial sectionof several newspapers every day, as this will greatly increase your chances of making long time sustainable profit in forex trading!

Wii: 448,127
Xbox 360: 218,636
please post this crap when its a good read and not something i already know. we all know the ps3 slaps the 360 in the face in all places except NA, but its coming soon
edit: @ videogames4life. i dont know what country you are from but it must be located in redmond behind bills house, but we ps3 owners havent even got our hands on the big guns. so go back to blowin gates balls. oh and dont post too much with ur 2 bubbles and all. save one for another time or place
PS3 will never be popular in North America ever and PS3 is still Millions behind the 360 and now it still outsold the PS3 by 2 Million Units and how do you expect the PS3 to catch up...EVER?
PS3 is Selling like Crap in Austrailia and the UK not just NA, but that doesn't really mean anything to SONY FanBoy idiots cause they don't think, they just make up Sh*t and hope that SONY Wins which will never hapen again.
The PS3 is doing great in other parts of the globe. In NA they doing decently good ..If they start selling like the 360 in japan then thats when you need to start worrying..PS3 is not gonin anywhere..Sony need to bring out more games next year, and keep its release date, and they will rule 2008.
You say the PS3 slaps the Xbox 360, wow your a major tool aren't you?
It's only been due to a ps3 price cut the last few weeks that ps3 has sold most anything at all, Xbox 360 is still winning and as soon as there price cut the Xbox 360 numbers will again climb highest amongst consoles.
reply to XGamer
Your name says it all end of conversation
"It's only been due to a ps3 price cut the last few weeks that ps3 has sold most anything at all"
Dug your own grave there. The Ps3 price-cut has been in effect for TWO AND A HALF MONTHS now. It started October 10th, I believe.
@videogames4life - you don't know what's going to happen in the future, the PS2 is still a very popular system in NA so why couldn't the PS3 be?
I expect the 360 to be selling more in NA this week and PS3 to be selling more in Japan as usual.
ps3 is taking over europe and japan!
NA is left to take next year!
The 360 has been out for twice as long as the PS3. Also the 360 has had more time to bring out good games while the PS3 is just starting to so when more of the top games like MGS4, KillZone 2, Haze come out, then the PS3 will really start taking over NA, at leats better than it is ATM.
did the ps3 out sold the 360?
but they make up only about 30% (give or take) of the gaming market, the rest pretty much goes to NA where the Wii and the 360 dominate. Without the US the 360 would have tanked last year but with the US it has a strong 2nd (again)
are u abnormal or something
EU and JAPAN make up 65--70% of gaming market
EU is the biggest market at the moment since the Indians and the Chinese have high purchasing power too and most of them play games as well
NA is the second biggest market. The first being EU and the last being JAPAN
However do note that PS3 is doing a great job in NA as well.It will surpass the x360 in 08
In your case it proves that point. Everyone in the world (even PS3 owners like me) know that the US is the largest gaming market but you. Everyone but you, your all alone on that one bro but then again your all alone on alot of the "so called stats" you use (you are infamous for false numbers and data)
^^^^You really are a nut.hhmmmmmmmmm YES the US is the biggest market but when u compare how the PS3 is winning Europe Japan, New Zealand, Austrailia... it doesnt matter... and believe what u want but the PS3 at a 399 to 499$ price...shouldn't be winning ANYWHERE. Wait.... it already is though! Almost EVERYWHERE except the US and its still selling pretty good there. Defiantely not BOMBING like the 360 is in Japan. haha. And if u think the 360 is going to continue to win in 2008 and especially even beyond that. You are on crack. The PPS3's games are coming. The price is still gonna drop. Realize it IS still 150$ cheaper.... but just for the sake of your Ego and beloved little RRODbox, we will pretend all the PS3's biggest games have been released...everything is fair... the 360 really didn't get a year head start on the PS3... and the PS3 isn't really selling identical, Worldwide, to a 150$ cheaper machine with its biggest best Exclusives year it will ever have. haha. You industry noobs are in for a treat. The 360 is never gonna beat the PS3 in the end. PSN is also getting EVERYTHING next year(Sony said a week ago) and also Playstation Home. Anyways... back to UT3
what garbage box 360 fanboys????
PS2 sold over 50 million consoles in EU vs 40+ for NA and the rest for JAPAN
NA was the biggest gaming market. Now EU/PAL (which includes rest of Asia too) is the biggest gaming market.
in 5 years time CHina and India would have a gaming commmunity bigger than NA's
"EU is the biggest market at the moment since the Indians and the Chinese have high purchasing power too and most of them play games as well"
India and China are not part of the European Union, they are'nt even part of Europe. Ever heard of Asia?
i thought china hated japan. so in that sence. why would they buy a ps3.
I love how they add Asia and Australia as part of their Europe numbers. Good god you guys are some freaking idiots. What next you going to add Canada and Alaska ore even Africa as part of the EU numbers? LOL Morons
From VGcharts (estimate)
There are approx:
20.25 million next gen consoles sold in North America.
6.25 million next gen consoles sold in Japan.
14.25 million next gen consoles sold in Europe/"Others"
This includes Wii's.
Note that this doesn't include the week of 12/23 for North America, which should beef up its tally significantly.
North America is the largest world market by far, moving more than three times as many units than Japan.
As for Sony catching up to Microsoft in 2008, not likely at all. They have a huge install base defecit and haven't even begun to bridge the gap. By contrast, the gap just gets larger every month. This may have a cascading effect, like an avalanche, making it less and less likely each month as developers are swayed by M$'s huge install base and attach rates, making PS3 an even less likely purchase.
I don't think any system is going to "die" this generation and hopefully, they'll all be profitable for their makers.
I'm not surprised the PlayStation 3 has increased the gap between itself and the 360; it was really popular last week in retail stores. Technically the 360 is the logical console of choice for gamers, as it has a better software library, but for Sony to be strong in Europe - because of its brand name - shows incredible confidence from their fanbase and these figures will only grow when the big franchise titles are eventually released, where it could reinstate itself fully. This mentality by European consumers, where they remain to Sony, is suggestive enough to me personally that the console wars are far from over.
thanks for providing the link. ;)
yea im not surprised too by the result. Next week result going to be interesting too.
Ds nearly selling 1million in a week. :O
Ps3's gaining momentum in the EU now and the 360/Ps3 gap is dividing.
it also explains why uncharted only dropped one place in sales this week.
Still whatever happened to the 360 outselling the ps3 big time this xmas was wrong if anything i can see ps3 outselling 360 worldwide, and thats without any killer app's. What a turnaround from this summer
When people talk about 2008 and the fanboys from the PlayStation side rave about it, I think this year itself was very interesting and promising alone. Despite all the negativity surrounding the platform from the media, and regardless of the high price of the console, it still sold pretty decent when you look at the bigger picture. When people claim the 360 will win the console war and you remind them the PS3 is selling at a faster rate, in its first year (facing those problems and also probably better alternatives in the Wii and Xbox 360), than Microsoft's console did even though it was almost twice the price, then you have a slice of bragging rights.
It SEEMS that Sony are heading to match total sales worldwide this holiday season with Microsoft's Xbox 360, and that's a positive. Although I'm sure if we said that two years ago, Sony themselves would be outraged at the thought of being the dominating leader one generation, to now sharing market ratio with the Xbox. But it's a step in the right direction.
Obviously Microsoft have not managed to attract ENOUGH potential customers away from the PlayStation 3, despites the slightly cheaper price and software library, so I don't buy the notion that an even cheaper 360 would cause a significant mass exodus towards the Green ship. I still think people are waiting for the Metal Gear's of this world and a cheaper price point before they purchase a PS3, and looking at it from a individual platform's point of view, they can only sell more with a cheaper price point and better games. The fact that Microsoft will always have the cheaper console, I don't think, will win the console wars for them alone.
Wow the ps3 is fighting back in this console war thats great news. But this is Vgchartz they make educated guesstimates. Lets just hope that the NPD numbers are close to this.
i wish EU would release real numbers so we could stop relying on VGcharts because no one knows how off they are.
And now lets view world wide
Meh not much happening. The 360 will get its 2nd price drop soon and will widen the gap again!
Your link directs us to global sales chart. No weekly sales. Unless the Wii sold almost 20,000,000 last week I don't think you got the right link.
Weekly sales outside the EU haven't been released on that site yet.
The difference is can a price drop really have that much of an impact on the ps3 with Metal Gear Solid 4 around the corner, both consoles are affordable now, its software which will make the difference. Plus i still see sony dropping the price again come spring next year, and will release the 80GB in Europe
cant you read the title: "European / Other"
I cant see "Worldwide" in the title. Who cares? Xbox 360 popularity will fall anyway.
shouldnt you say
I HOPE it gets a price drop and I HOPE it widens the gap
because we all know thats what you HOPE for
that would be a really desperate move, why would they drop the price if their console is already cheaper. And why would you see that act a desperation as a good thing if your console is supposedly superior? And i'm sure you will pull the "Sony did 2 price drops blah blah blah". The difference is THEY HAD THE MORE EXPENSIVE SYSTEM.
"that would be a really desperate move, why would they drop the price if their console is already cheaper."
Why would that be a desperate move? Dropping the price on a console sells more systems, which in turn sells more games. Sales of the PS2 rose dramatically after roughly two years on the market when the price was dropped to $199 from $299. Was that an act of desperation?
If price cuts are an act of desperation, was Sony desperate? The PS3 is currently being sold for a loss of about $100 per console. The Xbox is being sold at a profit of about $50 per console. The Xbox 360 will see a GPU die shrink, console redesign, and significant price drop in 2008. It's inevitable.
It will be interesting to see how much the PS3 Sold this Christmas
The ps3s only weakness is NA.
but all they have to do is shorten the gap in NA and they win.
besides sony did it with the ps1 so they can definetly make a comeback with the ps3.
What's the suprise herE? PS3 has consitantly beat xbox 360 in Europe week in and week out since it launched in March this year. Why so shocked? Sony is doing amazing everywhere in all honesty. The bigger truth is... Every system is. That's the growth of the industry. Learn to live with it. Sure some might do better than others in specific areas and locations... but as a whole... Wii, Ps3 and xbox 360 are all doing amazing growth.
Stop being sales fanboys... No system is dying anytime soon. Trust me.
Thats the first non fanboy comment I think I've ever heard you say. Since its Christmas I;ll give you a bubble lol
wooo! all of the sudden VGC is reliable.. since it shows the PS3 winning... For how long will Sony fanboys trust VGC? ohh wait I know... until the release the NA charts...
@Spike47 - You speak of NA as if something small... lol.. it represents 60-70% of the game industry in terms of sells.... don't forget that.
we agree on. Yes Vg charts is always wrong. Its been proven time and time again.
Funny Bladestar, when VGChartz releases their crap stat numbers for NA, you're first in line to bash the PS3 and laugh at its sales.
Guess they're only right when the 360's outselling the PS3, right?
I think thats exactly what he's trying to say about the other side. Personally I don't give a damn I'm gonna own every system and get the best of every world. Yay for me.
when does the NPD numbers come out?
They don't in europe, Chart Track is the UK equilivant to NPD but thats about it
ah thx. didnt know that. shows ya how much i care about numbers...
Here are the percentage increases (I calculated them, yay) for each platform.
DS - Up 10% from last week
Wii - Up 29% from last week
PS3 - Up 24% from last week
PS2 - Up 22% from last week
PSP - Up 23% from last week
Xbox360 - Up 19% from last week
Note that sales of Wii and DS were constrained due to supply issues.
A+ Mues for your math work, You get a cookie =D
I'll give you B+ for your math work then since its show your improvement over your hardworking =)
PS3 now officially will own Europe and the Rest of the World over the 360.
(Wii is in another league of it's own....the race is between PS3 and 360)
PSP even outsold 360....
Basically all Sony systems outsold Xbox 360, but the fact that PS2 is still kicking its ass speaks volumes.
with the PSP selling so well and the conectivty of it and the PS3 where do you think all the ppl buying those PSP's are going to go when they have the money for a PS3
yea thats right
i know im getting a PSP just becuase im on the road alot and it would be nice to check my email and download demos or trailers for when i get home
Hey 360camp
you had a alright year and you had some good things you thought you could brag about. Its a shame the rest of the world isnt jumping in and most of them like they have in the past will Play b3yound
hey the only reason i have a psp is because i had a Ps3 (and CC:FFVII of course)
So im sure they help each other sales wise
its crazy when u consider the PS3 is up against 3 sytems
and still sold at a better rate in its first year then the lagbox
You think after outselling its competition by 4-1 last generation that merely keeping pace with the *second* place system this generation is amazing? Not just OK, or good, but AMAZING!? You have low standards.
does have some real good games for a handheld.
and btw
my last comment
dont get me wrong
The 360 is a dam fine gaming machine but as far as entertainment hub it cant hold the PS3's jock strap
PS3 has beaten X360 last three consecutive weeks on a world wide basis. This week seems to be widening the lead even further. It has surpassed 8 millions unit and on its way to reach 11 millions by 3/31/2008 as Sony has targeted. It will hit 18 millions by the end of 2008. The momentum is just started. It has 15 big exclusive games to be released in the coming 6 months. The Blu-ray effect is another major factor that is pushing PS3 sales and X360 lacks. The Blu-ray movies will pass 500 by February. The down pouring of BD movies, PS3 games and lowering prices will drive the PS3 momentum in a phenomenal pace many people are ready to accept.
worldwide the 360 outsold the ps3 last week by 6K....even beat the ps2...i Love when people post misinformation where if people bothered too look they can find the numbers...enjoy
@bottom..what are you talking about.,..this is last weeks worldwide numbers.not this weeks....check the link..roflmao...maybe you should check before you post homie. Im convinced some of you people dont even read a post..just follow people who you think are negative towards the ps3 and just comment..
VG Charts is 10K short on PS3, as they haven't updated the japan numbers
According to the corrected numbers PS3 outsold 360 last week, and that is by around 5 thousand units
You know America? that place that takes up "MOST OF THE GAMING PIE" That 100,000 european diff doesnt mean d!ck when the 360 outsell the PS3 by 300-500k in the US. Which means what we all already know, America is the key ground to grab with Japan next followed by Europe trailing the rear. MS just clearly needs US, UK and just stay within 100-200k in europe to take the prize, because Sony isn't going to close that 7-9 million console gap.
So the PS3 stays where it will be this whole gen (dead freaking last)<---where it is now. But I'm sure Droids will try and find a way (make up sh!t in their blogs) or count the "whole Sony family" in their fantasy last place numbers to try and lie their way to a victory. (which always dies when NPD shows it's numbers} or they will add movie sales with it's game sales and claim that it the PS3 game "attach rate".
Cheers Droids, here is to 08 (((clinks glasses))) I'm sorry your glass doesnt have much in it, but hey you should be used to your Droid glass being mostly empty.
But then again this is VGCharts (droids) remember , they are allways inaccurate and you don't like VG remember? I'm sure MS would gladly take the US :-) I'm also sure they will like to pwn JP and EU, but that will come soon enough if not next gen.
Wowsers. Ps3 is getting stronger. Well, it is all but confirmed that my fiancee bought me a ps3 for Christmas. So now I have the best of both worlds. First order of business...get UT3 :) :) :)
Looks like the whole world knows what a good product is, just the yanks not. Have fun yanks with the RROD sensation and the whole world wishes you a happy waiting for your consoles getting repaired haha don't be mad yanks, buying crap quality products you ask for that haha
More than 1/3 of PS3 are sold in NA.It is not good generalizing you know.Alot of americans also know Sony quality
no lagbox here yo... psn : destined2shine .... currently playing cod4 search and destroy baby
Xbox need japan. ps3 needs north america.

Blizzard will be watching the EA loot box mess closely but what does it mean for a future Diablo?
September 8, 2012
It's still very much a hot topic since the v1.0.4 patch was released and there's still a lot of discussion on the loot issues. The original posters asks if there is some sort of conspiracy theory behind the lack of fixes to make people use the RMAH and he/she is getting frustrated with the game and the lack of development updates regarding the loot system. Blizzard responded with:
January 25, 2012
Some quick-fire answers to the patch release popped up in the EU boards, and while we know the answer to all of these following Jay's announcement last week, here they are in case you missed anything. These are responses to queries on the patch 10 update on topics such as breaking up the gameplay, loot drops and game feature removals.

Like minded travellers
A nomad I was even when I was very small, and would stare at the spellbinding white road headed straight for the unknown, and I shall stay a nomad all my life, in love with changing horizons and unexplored far away places, for any voyage, even to the most crowded and well travelled places, or the most familiar, is an exploration.

It's been a good week for finding like minded travellers..........
George from e-margaux.com posted my poem (gulp) and womanwandering's brilliant blog title in the Meandering Margaux blog (speaking of great titles), and declared us both "e-margonauts"! His comment also brought me a great find: e-marginalia, a travel e-zine that in its own words
"is fast becoming the proverbial campfire where adventurous, curious travelers collect to share the artifacts of their voyages."
Thank you, George, you made my day! I suspect you'll be running into me round that campfire. Lots of good reading to catch up on.
My walk through e-marginalia led me to Nana Chen, the personal site of one of e-marginalia's editors. I haven't made it through her writing, yet, or her paintings, but, oh! her photograpy: hypnotic stills and travel photos of Cambodia, India, Taiwan and Argentina.
And I stumbled across viatgeaddictes while wondering where to wander in Lisbon. (My Thoor Ballylee compañeras and I are headed to Lisbon for a long weekend in April. Tips? My first visit...) The site's only available in catalan and castellano now, unfortunately, ingleses.
At viatgeaddictes, I stumbled across the Isabelle Eberhardt quote above, which lead me to buy an e-book copy of the diaries of Isabelle Eberhardt, which will lead me to......

Magnetic reconnection occurs when magnetic fields connect, disconnect and reconfigure explosively, releasing bursts of energy that can reach the order of billions of megatons of trinitrotoluene (commonly known as TNT). These explosions can send particles surging through space near the speed of light.Well, I'm fucking glad to receive the brand new and exciting information that trinitrotoluene is commonly known as TNT. EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS THIS, and everybody who might read a science article has a general sense of megatons in the context of nuclear bombs. It's as old and familiar as grams or kilometers. YOU DON'T FUCKING NEED TO TELL US THIS. But what I DIDN'T know, and STILL DON'T KNOW after reading this crap, is whether your magnetic reconnections are a known and real phenomenon or a schizy delusion. If they're as big as you say, it seems like we should have experienced them, and you should be able to point to some event in Earth's long history that was probably caused by these things.
Polistra was named after the original townsite of Manhattan (the one in Kansas). When I was growing up in Manhattan, I spent a lot of time exploring by foot, bike, and car. I discovered the ruins of an old mill along Wildcat Creek, and decided (inaccurately) that it was the remains of the original site of Polistra. Accurate or not, I've always liked the name, with its echoes of Poland (an under-appreciated friend of freedom) and stars. ==== The title icon is explained here. ==== Switchover: This 2007 entry marks a sharp change in worldview from neocon to pure populist. ===== The long illustrated story of Polistra's Dream is a time-travel fable, attempting to answer the dangerous revision of New Deal history propagated by Amity Shlaes. The Dream has 8 episodes, linked in a chain from the first. This entry explains the Shlaes connection.

Nissan's motorsports arm Nismo has turned racecar convention on its head with the new GT-R LM Nismo, which will compete this year in the FIA's top-tier LM P1 category.
Why is it so unusual? Because in a field dominated by mid-engined, rear-drive or all-wheel drive prototypes, the GT-R LM will be the only front-engined, front-wheel drive car on the grid.
Okay so technically it's mid-engined, but the engine still sits ahead of the driver, pushing the cockpit rearward and giving the GT-R LM an awkwardly upright silhouette.
It looks odd and is radically different to the GT-R road car, but Nismo promises that the concept will work.
But with all of the power from its 3.0 litre twin-turbo V6 and electric assistance motor heading solely to the front wheels, the GT-R LM goes against established principles about performance car design.
With the front tyres tasked with turning, stopping AND accelerating the car, those two hoops of rubber will be under enormous duress during the gruelling Le Mans 24-hour.
However Nismo says the weight of the engine and the front-biased aero will provide enough downforce to keep front-end grip high.
The front tyres themselves are also massive, measuring 14 inches across the tread while the rears are just 9 inches wide.
"This is due to the way that mass is distributed in the car," said Ben Bowlby, Nissan's LM P1 Team Principal and Technical Director.
"We have moved the weight bias forwards to give us traction for the front-engined, front-wheel drive. We've also moved the aero forwards so we've moved the capacity of the tyres forward to match the weight distribution.
"So the aero centre of pressure, the mass centre of gravity and the tyre capacity are all in harmony and that means we have bigger tyres at the front than the rear."
The GT-R LM Nismo will also take advantage of the Le Mans rulebook, which favours efficient engines and high-output hybrid systems.
Power output is a secret, but the GT-R LM Nismo's VRX 30A engine is, in Bowlby's own words, "relatively low powered".
Instead, Nismo's strategy will be to reduce fuel use and instead rely on a more powerful electric drive and energy recovery system to provide the bulk of acceleration.
"The LM P1 regulations for manufacturers have four hybrid powertrain options, defined by how much hybrid energy is released from the ERS per lap of Le Mans," Bowlby explained.
"You can go in the 2 megajoule class where you can deploy up to 2MJ of energy during one lap of Le Mans and also use quite a lot of fuel.
"You can go in the 4MJ class and get a little less fuel, the 6MJ class with less still and then there's the 8MJ class where you get the least fuel of all but the most recovered energy for deployment.
"There's no limit on how powerful the system is [in the 8MJ class], just how much energy is used so you can either have an awful lot of power for a very short time or a small amount of power for a very long time."
But the fundamental question remains: WHY front-wheel drive? There are good reasons why the rest of the field sticks with mid-engined, rear-drive layouts, so to go for an FWD configuration must only be worthwhile if it confers an as-yet unknown advantage.
That advantage may come from the GT-R LM's packaging, which leaves plenty of space in the back of the car for a large venturi tunnel.
The short rear suspension arms indicate this might be the case, as there's no messy underpinnings to get in the way of underbody aero.
We're sure we'll find out more when the GT-R LM Nismo makes its debut at Silverstone on April 12 in the first LM P1 race of the season. If it performs well, that's all the proof we'll need that Nismo's audacious FWD racecar concept works.

Buildings and developments in any geographic location can be subject to a wide variety of natural phenomena such as windstorms, floods, earthquakes, and other hazards. While the occurrence of some of these events cannot be precisely predicted, their impacts are well understood and can be managed effectively through a comprehensive program of hazard mitigation planning. Mitigation refers to measures that can reduce or eliminate the vulnerability of the built environment to hazards, whether natural or generated by human activity. The fundamental goal of mitigation is to minimise loss of life, property, and the function of services/systems due to disasters. Designing to resist any hazard(s) should always begin with comprehensive hazard/threat and risk assessments. This process includes identification of the hazards present in the location and an assessment of their potential impacts and effects on the built environment based on existing or anticipated vulnerabilities and potential losses.
Regardless of who is conducting the risk assessment, the fundamental process of identifying what can happen at a given location, how it can affect the built environment, and what the potential losses could be, remains essentially the same from one scenario to the next. Only after the overall risk is fully understood should mitigation measures be identified, prioritised, and implemented.
Basic principles underlying this process include:

Upendra missed the bus for Karnataka polls
BENGALURU: Shhh!… albeit sans the horror or suspense of the 1993 movie, Upendra's political direction has been silenced after his big bang entry in October last year. Back stabbed by his own people, Uppi was forced to quit Karnataka Pragnyavanta Janata Paksha (KPJP) within five months.
He had entered politics with grand plans of changing governance and contesting this assembly elections by putting up candidates in all 224 seats. But, with his ouster from KPJP and his new party yet to see light of day, he may have to wait till the 2019 to enter electoral battle, that too if he is able to put a party structure in place.
Although he failed to get the hotch potch recipe of politics right, Uppi is still optimistic after a meeting with the Election Commission in Delhi. "With the registration of my new party 'Prajakeeya' by the end of this month, I will prepare for the elections next year," he says, disappointment of missing an opportunity to take part in the 2018 assembly elections, hanging heavily in his tone.
Upendra, who promised (perhaps too naively) transparency in every sphere from electoral process to governance, says that he is unable to come to terms with the ideals of other parties to either contest on their ticket or even campaign for them.
"It is a big challenge to form and build a party with people who have convictions and share your concerns. The KPJP fizzled out as around 30-35 people were involved in selling tickets to dubious candidates. It's better to fall now in the initial stages than take the shock of the party breaking up later. However, I am happy that 100 people are still with me and share my beliefs," he says.
Beginning a new chapter this month, he says that he is prepared to forget what happened over last six months. "My hopes have been dashed but it is a temporary setback. I too would have become corrupt if I had gone with KPJP and contested as per their diktats For me, electoral and societal reforms are important and therefore I removed 'Raja' and put 'Praja' for the new party," he says.
He knows drastic changes will take time and that he will meet with many pitfalls. "There is corruption in every form and level. There is no scope for merit or efficiency and only money seems to work for getting a ticket. The victory of a contestant depends on caste or money power," he says.
Uppi will make time for movies. He says, "How much time one needs for social service, even if I can devote 3-4 hours, it will be enough to prepare for the elections next year. One has to earn money otherwise where will I get money for the political career ?"
The Uppi Exit
Just as the state was gearing up for the 2018 Assembly elections, Upendra announced his resignation from the party he had formed last year after internal dissensions in the six month old outfit. On March 6, the visibly upset star said, "I have tendered my resignation to Karnataka Pragnyavanta Janata Party (KPJP). But I will soon register my new party 'Prajakeeya' and will contest in the upcoming state elections." The 49-year-old star-turned-politician had launched the party in October 2017 but ironically it was registered in the name of Mahesh Gowda, the party chief general secretary who called him a dictator. With differences exposed so early on the issue of distribution of tickets and Upendra alleging selling of tickets to candidates, it was an abrupt departure for the star who had dreamed of contesting and putting up his own candidates.

Dear Santa,
I want binoculars, a telescope, a tree... The princess dolls I want, too. A frog chair... I want a party hat, a matching game, cookies, berry game, a reindeer pull toy, a teddy bear, sparkly glasses. And I also want one more thing: a dolly -- a sparkly dolly with ornaments all over it!

|If every church had this many goodies, I think I'd go more often!
After this brief stopover, we drove to a much bigger marketplace, Cape Town's famous Biscuit Mill. This was like the last market on steroids. It offered basically all the same food but even more so. Everything you could ever want was for sale there, fresh cuts of meat and sausage, baked goods, cheeses, vegetables, jams and honeys, and yes, even shwarma. It seems that everywhere we go, you can ALWAYS find a shwarma, it may not be the same kind of sandwich you're used to back home, but it always goes by the same name. The highlight of this outing was Mike's introduction to biltong, a local South African cured and dried meat that very similar to beef jerky. He bought two bags to snack on for the afternoon/evening and they were both gone within the hour!
Sanjin also gave a tour of the local shops surrounding the Biscuit Mill which each sold unique and handcrafted items. The most interesting of these shops was called ReCreate which took old antiques and repurposed them. For example, they would take old suitcases, open them up, sew in cushions, add four sturdy legs and turn them into a comfortable chair. They added an old mirror to the top of a washbasin and made it into a stylish coffee table. The store was full of these amazing ideas!
|Jameson Hall at the University of Cape Town
We ended our day with a rugby match between the reigning league champions, the Hamilton Chiefs from New Zealand, and the local West Cape Stormers. The crowds were enormous and rowdy at this match and it was quite exciting. It was a close game throughout, with the home team narrowly edging out a victory at 36-34. It was loads of fun and it left Mike wondering why professional rugby has never taken off in Canada? Surely it would be more successful than the CFL?!?
|The Hamilton Chiefs prepare to boot the ball towards the beloved West Cape Stormers!
And so went day three of our South Africa adventure!

There's nothing quite as nerve racking or exhilarating as a first date. It's the first time you've met someone romantically (often the first time you've met them full stop) and you're given the unenviable task of getting through the day/evening without making a fool of yourself (which is a challenge in itself) and then making a decision about whether you want to see them again – tricky stuff. Make life easier for yourself with a trip to a crazy golf course. It's perfect – if the date is going well you can bond over your failure to conquer the course and if not you can focus on your game and insist you are the next Rory Mcllroy. With a new space-themed course set to open in Newcastle's former Co-op building, there'll be plenty to keep you on par.
Adventure Leisure crazy golf course coming soon
Did you know that the Northern Poetry Library in Morpeth is home to the largest collection of post-World War II poetry in England outside London? That's right, hidden in our own back garden, people travel from near and far to discover these works. If you're something of a bibliophile we can't think of a better way to spend a Saturday than perusing the 15,000-plus volumes of poetry – with numerous first editions and signed copies thrown into the mix. There are regular exhibitions and special events and many of the works can be borrowed to devour in the comfort of your own home. Happy reading.
Parents, we know how tricky it can be trying to find new places to take your children that strike the right balance between education and entertainment – and perhaps more importantly, don't break the budget. Well, we've discovered a gem: The Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum. Free to visit, this interactive museum in Great Ayton transports you back to the charity school where young James Cook was educated. Experience life in an 18th-century school, learn more about the British explorer and snap a selfie with the man himself – what more could you want? (Dads, don't worry, there's a well-stocked gin shop too).
Every year Maker Faire at the Life Science Centre brings together hundreds of crafters, coders, bakers, DIYers and inventors for a spectacular two-day celebration of 'making'. But what do you do for the rest of the year? Why not join the rest of Newcastle's crafty community at Maker Space, a shared workshop in the city that brings together like-minded people to complete different projects. You can join the group (and get access to specialist tools and expertise) for a low monthly fee, or pop along to a Welcome Wednesday to give it a try. Sessions end with a trip to the pub, so it's a great way to make new friends and show off your latest inventions. You never know, you might find the Steve Wozniak to your Steve Jobs.
Build your own fire and toast marshmallows (or challenge your mates to a bush tucker trial or two), fling yourself off a 300ft zip wire, lend your brain to the perplexing 3D Spider's Web puzzle and then don blackout goggles and follow a rope into the wood in the middle of the night – this is the ultimate get down and dirty, active weekender. Broomley Grange in Stocksfield offer a range of on-site and off-site adventure activities, accommodation for up to 64 people and everything you need to embarrass your mates and prove once and for all who is the leader of the pack.
Strap up your helmet and squeeze into your wetsuit: whether you want to keep the kids entertained or set out on a slightly more active date than normal with your loved one, Cullercoats Bike and Kayak have the means to explore the coast. You can hire a fleet of bikes to strike out on your own or take part in a guided tour. If you're more of a water baby, take to the high seas – or the Tyne – for a kayak trip you're unlikely to forget. Thrillseekers can undertake coasteering, where you explore the wild and rugged terrain along our shore. Don't worry, you're in safe hands here: the company won two accolades at the North East England Tourism Awards in 2016.

If you are looking to get a new business mobile phone but want to keep your current number, saving endless hassle copying contacts and informing your colleagues and clients of the change, you can transfer your existing number to your new phone and contract. This is called 'porting' your mobile number.
How to port your phone number
Porting your mobile phone number should be a relatively easy process; your network provider should have a clear and easy procedure to follow in place for porting mobile phone numbers. Lister's account managers are fully versed with the porting procedure of all the UK mobile phone networks and can fully assist you with your mobile number ports.
If you currently have a monthly mobile phone contract you can request a Porting Authorisation Code (PAC) from your mobile phone network. PACs are normally made up of three letters and six numbers (in the format ABC 123 123). Beware you may be charged an administration fee for your Porting Authorisation Code, though many UK mobile phone networks will provide this for free.
You can port your mobile number using the following steps
- Request your PAC number (This can only be requested by the account holder or someone with third party access on the account) from your existing network and make a note of it.
- Select a mobile handset and network tariff combination that suits you. Talk to us to discuss the best options for your business.
- Contact your new network or Lister Communications quoting the number you wish to port and the PAC your old mobile phone network provided.
- Your existing number will then be transferred between 2 and 6 working days, this is dependent on the mobile networks involved and the amount of numbers you have requested to transfer.
Things you should know about porting
Once connected to your new network you may have a temporary mobile number for a few days while the port takes place.
You cannot transfer disconnected numbers so DO NOT cancel your existing contract if you wish to port your mobile number. When you provide your PAC number to a new network the cancellation process will begin automatically with your old network.
In some cases, your old network may transfer you to a pay as you go plan first, allowing you to cancel your contract and transfer your number at your own convenience.
To port your mobile number you may have to pay a small administration fee to your current network. If you are considering transferring your mobile number you should check this beforehand.
Is there any reason I can't port my number?
Provided you've fulfilled your contractual obligations (reached the minimum term of your contract) to your existing network or service provider then you can port your existing number to a different network.
How do I obtain a PAC Code?
You need to call the customer services department of your current network.
For those on the major mobile networks, call the following numbers:
- 3 – (Three): 333 from your mobile (or 0843 373 3333 from a landline)
- EE4G – 150 from your mobile (or 07973 966 250 from a landline)
- O2 – Pay Monthly: 202 from your mobile (or 0844 809 0202 from a landline)
- O2 – Pay As You Go: 4445 from your mobile (or 0844 809 0222 from a landline)
- Orange – Pay Monthly: 150 from your mobile (or 07973 100 150 from a landline)
- Orange – Pay As You Go: 450 from your mobile (or 07973 100 450 from a landline)
- T-Mobile 150 from your mobile (or 0845 412 5000 from a landline)
- Vodafone 191 from your mobile (or 0870 0700 191 from a landline)
If your service provider differs from any of the networks above call us on 0800 652 4133 or contact the customer services number at the top of your monthly bill.
Am I legally entitled to a PAC code?
Yes, according to Ofcom's 'General Conditions of Entitlement' (May 2011) Condition 18. All mobile phone companies must provide a PAC Code to consumers who request it within 2 days of the request. If they do not, they must explain why they cannot release a PAC Code to you. Reasons include:
- Failed security check. You must prove your identity when you call customer services. If you cannot do so, your network reserves the right not to release your PAC Code. This security check ensures that nobody can "steal" your phone number and intercept your phone calls.
- A PAC Code has already been issued. Once you've been issued with a PAC Code, it is valid for 30 days. Your network won't issue a new PAC Code if one has already been issued and is still valid.
- You're tied in to a contract. If you're currently tied into the minimum term of your contract (i.e. the initial 24 months you signed up for), you'll have to pay off the remainder of the contract to terminate it and to request a PAC Code. These charges will appear on your final bill.
Your network must issue you with a PAC code within 2 days of your request. Typically you'll be given the PAC code straight away over the phone but some networks will instead send PAC codes by text message.
To make things easy, your account manager at Lister Communications can manage this for you, freeing you up to simply get on with your day. Call us today on 0800 652 4133 or complete our handy new online assessment here.

Mickey Thompson Performance Tires MIRock Superbike Series
Rockingham PJ1 race report
event: Adams Performance Sportsman Summer Sizzler
when: June 28-30, 2013
where: Rockingham Dragway in Rockingham, North Carolina, USA
Everybody wins in 1 day race at The Rock
The Adams Performance Sportsman Summer Sizzler ran as a two-day race condensed into one under sunny skies at Steve Earwoods Rockingham Dragway. With rain threatening for Sunday, Earwood called a racers meeting on Saturday and polled the group whether to squeeze it in or not. Thats a real racers track, to ask us what we wanted to do, noted Virginian Michael Rankin. And the vote waslets do it in a day.
So the Rockingham Dragway staff hit the nitrous button, shifted smoothly through the gears and accomplished two days work in one. The racers hustled to and from trailerscooling clutches, airing shifters, filling bottles, checking pressures and adding fuel in record time. The Mickey Thompson MIRock Superbike Series first-ever sportsmen-and-grudge-only event hustled along in a big way.
Few bikes hustle the first eighth mile like the Louis Concrete 4.60 machines, the quickest index bikes on the planet. And in the first year for the class, Kenny Cornell has already won twice. Number one qualifier Eran Pielert made it easy for Cornell this time around, redlighting in the final.
Multi-time MIRock pro class champion Jeremy Teasley won 4.60 last time out at MIR. This time around he went out early with a nitrous problem on a bike borrowed from his brother Brandon. But lest the Teasley name be sullied, dad James Crow Teasley Jr. took FBR Shop 5.60 on an 80s Kawasaki thats been doing the family right for a long time. Teasley beat Ben Knight in the final after Knight took out number one qualifier Robert Parker in the semi.
No-bar specialist Knight was on a 5.60 bike borrowed from Dustin Lee, an old school Kawasaki wheelie-bar bike no less. Knight had made only one wheelie bar pass in his life before this weekend, but seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly. Still, his comfort level in familiar territory revealed itself as he won Nitrous Express Pro ET race 2 on his 04 no-bar Suzuki Hayabusa over Bob Carlson in the final.
But dont feel sorry for Carlson. He made the long drive from Connecticut pay off with his first ever MIRock Crazy 8s win over class champion Shayne Proctor. An all-Kawasaki ZX14 final, Proctor took the tree but Carlson took the stripe. I had a blast, said Carlson. Over 40 runsit's all a blur!
April Rockingham winner Jerry Turner seems to have found a home at the venerable facility in North Carolinas Sand Hills, winning Nitrous Express Pro ET this time around. Turner beat #1 qualifier Brian Cannoli Canoles in the final.
Brocks Performance Street ET champ Boo Brown will have a chance to defend his title at The Rock in November, winning Race 1 with an .014 light against Michael Herman Jr. in the final. Tennessee racer Leethe guy who loaned his KZ dragbike to Knightwon Race 2 with an even better .010 against fellow finalist Langdon Cheves. Lee accomplished that on a ZX14, borrowed from Turner! Twas an incestuous winners circle indeed.
And remember Rankin, from the beginning of this report? He rode his Suzuki GSXR1000 to the Trac King/APE Top Sportsman final, where he faced Mooresville racer Scottie Keller. Rankin took .010 from Keller at the tree, but Keller took the win.
Afterdark Underground featured a stellar race between Jeremy Teasley on the Adams Performance-built 1 Bad Apple and rider Dust on the Sam Cooke Busa. Teasley had the starting line advantage, but Dust drove around for the winthree layers of a cake on the line. Where we were conservative (on the tune-up), they were aggressive, reported Teasley. He drove around me mid-track, but I was pulling back up on him at the end.
The difference was half a bike length. We misjudged the track and didnt put enough to it, said builder-tuner-race sponsor Coby Adams. Lets put bigger jets in it and rerun it.
A great plan indeed, but Father Time and a precisely-at-midnight rain shower put the kibosh on any further racing on this particular evening. But the Mickey Thompson MIRock Superbike Series reconvenes for the biggest motorcycle drag racing, bike club culture and bikini show event of the yearthe WPGC Bike Fest at Maryland International Raceway on July 19-21.
