I was a very loyal Taylor Made Driver customer and went to my local store to try the new R1 and RBZ. The golf salesman at the location asked me to try the Nike Covert Driver. I ended up hitting it for close to an hour in the store and could not believe the stats on the screen. Hopefully I can lose a stroke or two this spring!
I've always been a Nike guy and have owned several drivers from Nike. I was a little apprehensive about spending $299.99 on a driver, but boy am I glad I did. I was averaging 250 yards with my old VR str8 fit, now I am AVERAGING 275 yards, with a few 300 yard blasts. Plus they are a lot straighter, even with mis hits. AAAA++++
First, hats off to Global Golf. Exceptional customer service,fair prices and lightning shipping.Still cold here in the east, but I had to try the club. The cherry red inspires confidence, and my 16 hdcp said 'thank you very much' for a very nice club.I set the face @ 10.5 neutral, and my left handed swing was rewarded by this Nike club.The ball had a super shape and flight, and it got out and up in a hurry. Sounded great, not 'clubby,' and I expect to gain serious yardage this year.Great product, and company. Highly recommend both.
Got the club in Good Condition with the Kuro Kage Silver in X-stiff. This club is very straight! Hit it on the sweet spot and it will go forever! This driver has made my approach shots much easier and shorter.
I have ordered from Globalgolf three times and every time has been a great experience. I WILL NOT BUY FROM ANYONE ELSE! This club is fantastic.
With the introduction of the VR_S Covert series, Nike Golf has brought cavity-back technology to drivers, fairways and hybrids. This seemingly simple engineering concept completely changes the way woods and hybrids perform on both professional and amateur levels. Its technological changes are matched with a striking visual design to make it even more unique.
The VR_S Covert is the world's first High Speed Cavity Back driver that complies with USGA and R&A rules. The breakthrough cavity back technology strategically positions weight to the heel and toe, increasing the MOI (Moment of Inertia). This creates more stability and energy when the driver makes contact with the ball, resulting in greater distance. You won't be able to see the cavity without looking at the sole, though – it's concealed by the crown to make its performance potential truly "covert".
Another technological advancement in the VR_S Covert is its intuitive FlexLoft feature, a dual-axis adjustment system with an easy-to-use pull, turn and push/tighten mechanism. The 3 face settings and 5 loft settings (ranging from 8.5 to 12.5 degrees) give you a total of 15 options you can independently dial in to work with course conditions and your own playing style.
The VR_S Covert also comes with a more familiar feature: NexCOR technology. Previously used on the VR_S STR8-FIT driver, NexCOR is a variable face thickness that creates a more expansive hitting zone on the face. This means that you get faster ball speeds from more positions on the face. The combined forces of the cavity back, FlexLoft and NexCOR make the VR_S Covert both powerful and extremely playable.
Style and Design
At Nike, innovation trumps tradition. The VR_S Covert follows that philosophy with its mix of a traditionally shaped head and the new cavity back design. The rich red paint scheme and angular cavity shape give the driver a high-performance look that matches its cutting-edge technology. The red crown also sets it apart visually from other drivers on the market. As a final touch, Nike's placed white Swoosh emblems on the sole and heel that act like an artist's signature.
VR_S Covert Tour
The Nike VR_S Covert Tour has the same cavity back, adjustable hosel, FlexLoft and NexCor technologies as the standard Covert model, but there are two key differences. One is that while the Covert has a 460cc head and a deeper face, the Covert Tour has a 430cc head, a wider face and a fixed weight screw. The other difference is that the Tour model's face has a black finish instead of the standard model's chrome finish. Both models feature the new Mitsubishi Kuro Kage shaft, which is made with high-density carbon fiber to enhance control and generate more power.
The VR_S Covert driver is definitely the most advanced driver Nike's released in years, and even the company itself is calling it "the most innovative club Nike Golf has ever produced." PGA and LPGA pros like Jhonattan Vegas, Paul Casey and Suzann Petersen are already raving about it. The cavity may be covert, but there's nothing subdued about its stunning design. The VR_S Covert is set to be a game changer, and there's little doubt that it will be.

It's no secret that mobile banking customer numbers are growing, and it's even no secret how many customers the big banks have.
Well, that's not exactly true. It's no secret about how many mobile users Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Bank of America Corp. have. Citigroup, however, is another story. The New York bank does not publicize its mobile numbers. Can we make a good-faith estimate nonetheless? Let's take a look:
Wells Fargo
Brian Pearce, head of the retail mobile channel at Wells Fargo, told Bank Innovation last November that the San Francisco-based bank had "more than 9 million" mobile users. Wells Fargo is the largest holder of FDIC-insured deposit accounts in the nation, but was a little late to the starting line with mobile offerings. (Bank Innovation explored why here.) With 94.7 million checking account holders, Wells Fargo has about 9 million mobile users.
JPMorgan Chase
In October 2012 Bank Innovation reported that JPM had 9.8 million mobile users. The bank itself reported "over 10 million" in a September 2012 press release for the Windows mobile version of its app. In January 2013, Chase disclosed that it had 12.4 million active mobile users.
In March 2012 Ravi Acharya, SVP of product management for online and mobile at JPM, claimed that the bank had 15 million mobile users, but presumably 5 million or so of these were not active. So let's put Chase, with about 45.5 million FDIC-insured deposit accounts, at 12.4 million mobile users.
Bank of America
David Godsman, senior vice president of online and mobile solutions at BofA, cited 12 million as the number of Bank of America mobile users in December 2012. More recently, 12 million was stated as a fast-approaching goal for BofA. Regardless, we'll put the mobile user customer base at 12 million for Bank of America, which maintains 66.5 million deposit account holders.
But what about at Citibank? Citi is the only of the four major banks to withhold the count for its mobile users in the US. However, we've done a big of work here at Bank Innovation, so we can present an estimate. Let's start with what we know. As of the end of last September, Citi had 1.1 million mobile users in Asia. Citi was added around 250,000 new mobile users a year there, and since the rate of adoption is probably heading higher, we'll put Citi's Asia mobile userbase at 1.2 million today. The worst rate of user adoption among the three banks listed above is at Wells Fargo, where 9% of its customer base is a mobile user. Citi's mobile adoption in Asia is around 3.5%, and Citi certainly hasn't been aggressive about its mobile apps. You can get a sense for mobile prowess in the number of comments the apps at the four banks get on iTunes, as of today.
No. of Ratings
Source: Apple
It would not make sense to assume a higher mobile adoption rate at Citi than at Chase, considering how vanguard has been Chase with remote deposit capture and advertising its RDC and mobile app. Assuming our readers take our estimate for adoption at Citi with a grain of salt, we estimate Citi's at possible around 7%. (Considering the Asia numbers, we think this is a charitable assumption.) Assuming that rate, we think Citi has around 2.9 million mobile users in the US.
As to what defines a mobile user vs. an active mobile users — we'll save that for another post.

It's one of the jobs where the person doing it rarely gets noticed unless something wrong happens: a high school basketball official.
Mark Shannon, 51, has lived in Sparks for 19 years and for him, becoming a referee was a way for him to remain in touch with basketball. He has worn the stripes for 23 years.
"(I enjoy) the camaraderie with the other officials, the challenges of trying to do a good, great job each and every night out, being able to stay in the game, basketball is a sport I love so being able to stay in the game is tremendous," Shannon said. "(I enjoy) the relationship with the kids coming up … and of course the relationship you get to have with the coaches, which I truly enjoy on both the girls and boys side."
Growing up in southern California, Shannon played high school basketball at the now prep power, Mater Dei High School, before playing collegiately at Mira Costa Junior College and Vanguard University, a NAIA school located in Huntington Beach, formerly known as Southern California College.
After graduating, Shannon was an assistant coach for the boys and girls programs at Edison High School, also located on Huntington Beach.
While coaching, Shannon worked a security job that included working in the luxury suite of Los Angeles Lakers late owner, Jerry Buss, at The Forum.
"He always had a 21-year-old, 22-year-old unbelievably gorgeous lady with him…," Shannon said, recollecting on his time working in Buss' box. "He was always very kind. He didn't big-time me or anything like that. I would say 'hey, Mr. Buss, anything different we're doing tonight' and he would say 'nope, just making sure everyone is supposed to be here, I appreciate it.' It's not like he ever gave me $300 or a big tip or anything but at the same time it was a great gig.
"There were a lot of guys who could not always work that because they were in awe and they couldn't do their job or were looking at the girls and talking to them. I kept my professionalism and had a great spot for Lakers games, it was cool."
Despite sitting in the Lakers' owners' press box for home games, Shannon decided it was time to move on, applying for a job at the post office where his brother was a clerk. He immediately got the job.
The father of two, a son who is now 28, and a daughter who is 22, Shannon wanted to relocate from southern California to a place that would allow his wife to stay at home with his children. The post office required transfers to move to a place that was considered growing and 19 years ago, Reno-Sparks fit that description.
While living in Sparks, Shannon works for the post office in Reno.
"It was the best move I ever made for my family," Shannon said. "While I left a lot of (officiating) opportunities in southern California… it was clearly, clearly, clearly the best move I could have made for my family and the fact that my wife got to stay home with my children."
Shannon started officiating junior college games in southern California after just a couple years with the whistle before moving to the Truckee Meadows. He continued officiating junior college games after moving to Sparks until this season.
Shannon officiated Division I games for the University of Nevada women's basketball team, for a year, while the Wolf Pack was in the Big West but was not picked up when Nevada switched to the WAC (Western Athletic Conference).
An experienced referee, Shannon holds himself accountable on the court just as any athlete could or would.
"You don't want to walk out that night and go, 'dang that was a really good game except for that last 15 seconds, or that was a great game except for that one call.'" Shannon said. "So that's the challenge, that you try to each and every night, to have your best game and always try to do your best for the game itself."

I'm working on a book with lots of pictures. After I place them, is there a way to lock their position in the text? The problem I'm having is that when I add more pages to the beginning of the book, the text rolls over to the next page but the pictures don't. They all need to be moved manually. Thanks!
Yes. It's called and Anchored Object and you can read about it in the Help files.
just cut your picture and paste it in the text where you want it. Just place the cursor in the text and paste the picture. Then you have a Anchored Object in the text that is moving when you move text arround. Very easy and fast.
No you don't…you have an inline object.
You'd need to right click that object to set the anchored object properties.
Working with anchored objects has changed radically with CS5.5, which is one of the reasons I suggested the help files. If you have CS 5.5 you can drag the blue "adornment" on the frame to where you want it anchored. It's also not quite as simple as cut and paste, because you need to decide if the objects should be an inline/above line anchored oject, or custom positioned, and in this case I think custom is the correct choice. It also will need text wrap applied.
I've now learned about Anchored Objects. I was hoping there'd be a simple way to lock the position of my pictures relative to the text. However, because I'm using CS5, I learned I have to cut the pictures and paste them directly into the text box. This means I will have to reposition all my pictures again.
Also, I haven't gotten the hang of text wrapping Anchored Objects yet (see attachment).
Is there another way to lock my pictures into place that's less time-consuming and tricky? So far I've been laying out this book in 30-page documents to avoid repositioning all my pictures when I have to add new pages. Is this a good method, or should I be using Anchored Objects from now on?
Text wrap with anchored objects is a bit different than with free-position objects. For an inline or above line object, applied wrap affects only text from the anchor position onward, or in other frames. For Custom positioned objects, such as the ones you are using, the wrap affects only text in the lines following the anchor point, or in other frames. Positioning objects near the bottom of a frame can be problematic as well. That said, there is just no other way to lock an image to a particular point in the text.
One thing you can do that may help, since it looks as if all of your images could be anchored at the beginning of a paragraph, is to create an object style, or several object styles, that include the custom anchored positions as part of the definition. That would allow you to assign the object style with a single click and you won't have to keep opening the Anchored Object Options dialog each time.

Dear Current and Prospective Students of Economics,
Welcome to the Undergraduate Economics Program at Carnegie Mellon!
Carnegie Mellon University enjoys a rich history of innovative research and instruction in the field of Economics. By bringing together rigorous theoretical and empirical work, the University supports some of the very best research in Economics. Six of our past and present faculty have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.
The Undergraduate Economics Program has a structure that is relatively unique to Carnegie Mellon. As a result of a collaborative effort between the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences (DC) and the Tepper School of Business (Tepper), all bachelors' degrees in economics are now jointly awarded by the Tepper School and DC. All students whose primary major is Economics or Economics & Statistics are students of both Tepper and DC, enabling economics majors to enjoy the full array of services and support of both schools. For students pursuing a major in Economics & Mathematical Sciences, the full array of services and support of DC, Tepper, and the Mellon College of Science are provided.
UEP students are members of both DC and Tepper, and as such, they follow a hybrid of Tepper and DC policies. The Undergraduate Economics Program Student Handbook has been created to provide you with a single document in which you can find the policies, rules, and requirements that govern the Undergraduate Economics Program (UEP) and its degrees. This handbook also provides the policies, rules, and requirements that govern UEP courses.
We realize that each student (whether pursuing a degree in economics or just taking a single course) is unique in the set of skills and knowledge with which they enter college and in their academic aspirations, so, please do not consider the handbook a substitute for one-on-one discussions with members of the UEP faculty, advisors, and staff.
Best wishes for a successful academic year,
Carol B. Goldburg, Ph.D. (Executive Director, Economics)

I have tried completely cutting out salt since I have heard it can make you retain water. I find that my food is pretty bland. I have never thought of myself as using a lot of salt..... Is some level of salt OK with the body for life plan? I'm willing to limit it, but some stuff just needs a little salt for flavor.
I think salt is a personal thing that you have to evaluate. I don't seem to retain water much, and my blood pressure is very low, so salt doesn't affect me like it does some people. I don't use too much of it, but don't shy away from it either. The guideline has recently been dropped, I think from 2,500 mg per day to 2.200. I could be wrong, but I think that is the FDA recommended amount. I never salt my food , but I eat condiments like salsa and frank's buffalo sauce, which tend to have sodium in them. There are lots of spices and seasonings out there you can experiment with to cut back the sodium but still have the taste. Good luck to you.
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Agree with BD, I do use salt, but very little now a days, but I never over do it.

Thanks for the input! Glad I can use a little salt! :-)

When I was growing up, my mother's chili was very basic, but a little unusual because she would add cubed potatoes to the pot. I often wondered why she did this. Now I realize she may have needed to "stretch" the chili to feed our large family.
Mother's chili was good, but I prefer to leave the potatoes out of my version. Instead, I add rice to my Cajun Chili. In fact, I add a box of red beans and rice to add a new dimension of flavor to the pot.
The recipe also calls for Cajun stewed tomatoes, but if you can't get those, use regular stewed tomatoes and add a little more Cajun seasoning, if desired.
If you prefer a vegetarian-style chili, you might like the following version, which has a slight Tex-Mex flavor. I can't say that this recipe follows all the rules as far as true vegetarians are concerned, but it does taste good.
No doubt about it, there are many different recipes for this wintertime favorite. Mauna, my special friend and assistant for many years, liked her chili without beef so we came up with a delicious chicken chili, which she gave the thumbs up.
It is comforting to know that when the weather is chilly outside, you can enjoy a bowl of chili inside.
1 1/2 pound ground chuck
1 cup chopped onions
1 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (not Creole seasoning)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14.5 ounce) can Cajun stewed tomatoes
1 (7.4 ounce) box red beans and rice
2 cups water
1 (16 ounce) can pork and beans (or can use chili beans)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Combine ground chuck and onion in large soup pot. Cook over medium heat until meat has browned. Add remaining ingredients (including the seasoning packet from the beans and rice mix) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook covered for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (14.5 ounce) Mexican stewed tomatoes
1 zucchini, diced (do not peel)
1 yellow squash, diced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 can vegetable broth (about 2 cups)
1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (11 ounce) can whole kernel corn
1 (16 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco (or to taste)
Tortilla chips
Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion. Cook until tender but not browned. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally for about 2 to 3 minutes. Add zucchini, yellow squash, chili powder, sugar and salt. Cook for about 1 minute. Add broth, black beans, corn, pintos, margarine and Tabasco. Simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes. If chili gets too thick, add water or more vegetable broth. Enjoy with tortilla chips. Sprinkle some Mexican cheese over the top of each serving, if you wish.
1/2 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 package (1.25 ounce) McCormick's chili seasoning
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can chili beans
1 cup water
Saute onion in oil until tender. Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium-low heat, adding more water if needed, for 15 to 20 minutes.

Viewers' guide to UFC 146
Story Highlights
Junior dos Santos will face Frank Mir in UFC heavyweight title bout in Las Vegas
The defending champ, dos Santos has won his last nine fights and is 14-1 overall
A two-time titleholder, Mir is 16-5 with each of his losses coming via knockout
Now it's time to see what he's really made of.
It's one thing to terrorize the UFC heavyweight division on the way to earning a shot at the championship, then making quick work of the titleholder to grab a hold of the belt. All of that was impressive. Very, very impressive, in fact, especially the last part: Knocking out the previously unbeaten champ, Cain Velasquez, in 64 seconds last November was a stunning statement by Junior dos Santos.
But winning a title is only half of what makes a champion. The other half is holding onto the belt.
That's what dos Santos (14-1) will try to do Saturday night in Las Vegas in the main event of UFC 146 (10 p.m., PPV).
Standing in the way of his quest at continued glory is a guy who knows what it means to be a UFC champion. Frank Mir (16-5) has twice worn the belt, first capturing it in 2004 with a technical submission of Tim Sylvia in a bout in which his armbar broke the then-champ's limb in four places. Mir's title reign soon ended, though, and his career was put on hiatus when he broke his leg in a motorcycle accident. But four years later he earned the interim belt by upsetting Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira via TKO.
The spirit of those two results converged in Mir's most recent bout. Last December at UFC 140, Mir fought a rematch with "Big Nog," and this time the fight went to the mat, a place that suits both Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts but was thought by many to favor Nogueira and his reputation as the best submission grappler in the heavyweight division. But after Nog, who'd rocked Mir while the fight was standing, attempted to finish Frank with a guillotine choke, Mir reversed position, took side control and smoothly put the Brazilian's right arm in a kimura. Nogueira rolled Mir over to try to escape and reclaim top position, but Mir was the better man in the scramble, ending up on top again and locking in the kimura even tighter. Inescapably tighter. Nogueira refused to tap out, however, so the bout ended gruesomely.
It was difficult to watch a man's arm get broken -- difficult for those in the arena, for those watching the pay-per-view telecast and especially for a certain Brazilian fighter who considers Nogueira a mentor and hero. Junior dos Santos did not know at the time that he would have an opportunity to avenge his friend's painful loss.
This opportunity was not in the plans. Initially, when the UFC dreamed up an event featuring all heavyweight bouts on the main card, the headlining fight was to be dos Santos defending his title against Alistair Overeem. The Dutch man mountain had relinquished his Strikeforce heavyweight title to fight in the UFC, then had made an auspicious debut by crushing Brock Lesnar and sending the ex-champ into retirement. He was the hot heavyweight challenger. What made his matchup with dos Santos especially tantalizing was that Overeem, in addition to his MMA career, is the reigning K-1 kickboxing champion. This was going to be a matchup of the division's most devastating strikers.
But then came a March press conference to hype the fight, and when the fighters showed up to meet the press they also were greeted by officials from the Nevada Athletic Commission, there to administer drug testing. Surprise, surprise. Overeem's test revealed an unacceptably elevated level of testosterone, and the Dutchman ended up being denied a license to fight. So the UFC called on Mir, who was scheduled to fight Velasquez in the co-main event, and put another ex-Strikeforce guy, Antonio Silva, in with the former champ.
Sure, this shifting of matchups stripped a bit of luster from both fights. But not for dos Santos, who now has the chance to fight for the honor of a Brazilian legend. And not for Mir, who has a chance to add to his own legend.
10: Knockouts among his 14 career victories.
6.8: Significant strikes landed per minute in his UFC bouts, placing him second (to Cain Velasquez) in the fight promotion's history.
9: Consecutive victories. His only loss came in 2007.
2: Arms he's broken with submission holds.
4: UFC heavyweight title (or interim title) bouts. He's 2-2, having lost his last two (to Brock Lesnar in 2009 and Shane Carwin the next year).
5: Losses by knockout. He's never lost by decision or submission.
What we should expect: If they're standing, only one will be for long. If they're rolling around on the mat, only one will get up with full use of both limbs. Yes, dos Santos is proficient in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but if his mentor, the mat whiz Nogueira, could not hang with Frank on the ground, Junior has no shot.
On the other side of the ledger, Mir has finished three of his 16 wins by knockout, and he's softened up a few other victims with punches, but if he trades leather with dos Santos, he's going to take a whole lot more than he gives. And that, I believe, is the fate that lies ahead for Mir. MMA bouts begin with the fighters standing, and Mir does not have the wrestling chops to take dos Santos where he needs this fight to be.
Why we should care: In MMA, as in boxing, there's nothing as glorious as the heavyweight championship of the world. Talk pound-for-pound all you want, but the man who wears the UFC heavyweight belt is truly the alpha male of combat sports. That's especially so when we have a fighter whose reign is referred to as An Era. Dos Santos is not there yet, having not yet defended his belt, but he has an opportunity Saturday night to take a strong first step. As for Mir, taking ownership of the UFC belt for a third time would put quite a shine on his legacy.
"If he goes to the ground with me, he's dead. You know what I mean? Might as well go ahead and start calling the orthopedic surgeons and prep the room."
-- Mir talking about dos Santos' ground game during the UFC's Primetime preview TV show
"He's not a man. He gives up. Against Shane Carwin, he pretended to be hurt. He's full of it."
-- Dos Santos on Mir during the Primetime show, as translated from Portuguese
"I have no issues with my manhood, so I guess I took it as just him trying to sell the fight and trying to stir the pot. Dos Santos, I think, has done better as far as a fighter in the octagon than he has as far as trying to sell the fight, so it's something that he's new at and maybe not the most successful with."
-- Mir, after being asked about the above dos Santos quote during a UFC 146 conference call with MMA media
"I don't promote fights by talking trash. What I say I say because I believe it. I confirm and I stand by what I said, and what I meant by that remark is that I feel that Frank Mir lacks heart and lacks the ability to proceed through rough spots in a fight."
-- Dos Santos, offering his own explanation of the quote (through a translator) during the same conference call
A new aura for a new era: Before his reign as heavyweight champ ended so abruptly, Velasquez appeared indestructible. He felled Lesnar in the fall of 2010 to win not just the belt but also a Knockout of the Night bonus, and also earned the extra KO check earlier that year, putting Nogueira to sleep in the bout that secured Cain his title shot. Now that Velasquez has lost, however, the aura of invincibility has vanished. Will that embolden Antonio Silva, who last year smashed whatever aura remained for Fedor Emelianenko? Or will Velasquez use the big Brazilian as a steppingstone toward redemption?
Strikers a force: Earlier this month, ex-Strikeforce heavyweight Lavar Johnson scored his second UFC knockout. Then, last weekend, Daniel Cormier took apart a onetime UFC champ, Josh Barnett, to win the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix, punching his ticket to the Dana White Fight Club. Now we get another Strikeforce expatriate, Shane del Rosario (11-0 with eight KO's), coming onto the big stage. He'll face a fellow unbeaten stud, Stipe Mio i, who has knocked out all but one of his eight victims. Judges? Who needs judges?
Big and tall: I mentioned Lavar Johnson but forgot to mention that he's back. Already. Exactly 21 days after his UFC on Fox knockout of Pat Barry, "Big" Johnson will step in for injured Mark Hunt and take on Stefan Struve, the 6-foot-11 Dutchman. But Johnson shouldn't have a long workday. None of his 22 fights have gone the distance; he has 15 KO's and two submissions (one coming when an opponent tapped out to strikes). And Struve has had only one decision in 28 fights. He's scored 15 of his 23 wins by submission and six by knockout. The judges can go play blackjack during this fight, too.
Downsizing: OK, so not everyone on the UFC 146 card wears XXL. Let's give a shout out to the little people: Featherweight Diego Brandao, coming off his victory on The Ultimate Fighter, takes on Darren Elkins; and unbeaten lightweight Edson Barboza steps up in competition, against former WEC champ Jamie Varner.
Also, middleweight Jason "Mayhem" Miller and welterweight Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy try to resuscitate careers that have been on a downward spiral. Hardy, who's lost four straight, faces someone who, like him, loves to bang -- so much so that it's the nickname of Duane "Bang" Ludwig. And Miller, coming off December's tepid performance in a grudge match with Michael Bisping, steps in with C.B. Dolloway, a guy who'll likely allow "Mayhem" to show us what he's got on the ground.

"Couldn't have been happier. Received lots of complements!! :) Simple and "girly" Just a side note- the size of the card is a bit small, but it was absolutely fine for our occasion."
"This was my first time ordering from Tinyprints. I am very pleased with the ease of ordering. There were great options and easy to preview. The invitations arrived so fast! The quality is excellent. I only wish these had been available in a larger size. I will definitely order from this company again."
"Very pretty card for our baby girls' baptism. Plenty of lines available to add the details for the reception, etc. I also loved that I could add a sweet picture of her onto the back of the card. My sister called as soon as she opened it from the mail and said how beautiful she thought it was. I am very happy with this purchase, a very simple and sweet invite."
"This is a cute little invite. It's small and casual - if you're looking for something with a formal, momentous feel, this isn't it, but for our tiny country after-mass coffee hour it was perfect. The paper and printing are all top notch, feel heavy and high quality in your hand. Was thrilled to use the mail-it-for-you feature, invites went out fast and WAY less work for new mommy!"
"I bought these invitations for my 18 month old daughter's baptism. They are so sweet! I love the fun, yet elegant and girly design. They are a great because it is a very important event in our family but not too formal. Arrived standard delivery 6 days BEFORE scheduled delievery date! Very happy. Thank you TinyPrints!"

Rafael Benitez was overjoyed at yet another resounding victory on the road, as we won by four goals for the second straight away game.
Two own goals and a penalty, added to by an excellent Eden Hazard strike, combined with a penalty miss from Stoke showed that Lady Luck played her part in our hosts' first home defeat in 11 months, but Benitez preferred to praise the work of his team as we climbed into third place.
'It was a difficult game, especially in the first half,' he acknowledged. 'We knew it would be, Tony Pulis is doing a great job and we knew it would be physical and intense, but we were ready for that.
'The goal changed the game because they had to go forward and left space, which meant little by little we could control the game. My players showed great character and quality.
'We were trying to explain to some of the players what they could find here, a physical game against a team with a clear idea of how they want to play. We watched clips, saw what we had to do and the response was really good.
'It's not fair just to talk about one player. Frank is doing well but the team did a great job. David Luiz was playing as a midfielder, today as a centre-back and did a great job. You could see today a great performance from Ivanovic, Azpilicueta is doing well, Petr Cech came back, Hazard, Mata, Demba Ba doing his job and the attitude of Torres pleased me. He is fighting for his position, so we had a lot of positives. Rami did a great job because he is playing a lot of games with little niggles, and Bertrand played in another position. It isn't fair just to talk about one player.'
On continued impressive away form while we are perceived to struggle at home
'The way we played against Swansea created a lot of chances, the other team was compact, but away the teams come at you and you have more space. Our movement is good and it's difficult to manage against them.
'The question is the approach of the other teams. Swansea normally have possession in their games but we had control of the game and they were deep playing counter-attack. That makes it more difficult and you have to be more precise.
'You have to realise the team is doing well. The players are happy and training well. They try to perform, all the staff are doing a great job and the atmosphere inside is really good. At the games we cannot control what is going on outside the pitch but we do our best on the pitch.
'The Premier League is a difficult competition with a lot of good teams. We are scoring more goals and conceding half the goals, so we have more balance and that's the way to sustain the performance of the team at this level.'
On John Terry's return to first-team affairs as a late substitute
'I was trying to give him some minutes to see how he was. I watched him in the reserve team but this is totally different, so we played five at the back and tried to protect him a bit. We will see how he trains and if he has no problems, it is a question of fitness now.'
On Gary Cahill, who had to leave the squad pre-game to be at the birth of his son
'We had trained with Cahill but he had to go. The baby is fine and they are happy, and we are happy, so everything is going well.'
Stoke manager Tony Pulis was cursing his side's luck after the game, and admitted it was hard to take a 4-0 defeat. He also felt Juan Mata went down too easily for our penalty, but that the officials were right not to award Stoke their spot kick just before our second goal.
'We're disappointed,' he said. 'The second goal killed us. The goals we conceded were poor and I'm disappointed with the penalty, Mata's legs collapse and I think it's a soft penalty, but it was a wonder goal from Hazard. I don't think that was a 4-0 today.
'It just didn't go for us. The referee gives a penalty at 1-0 and it was offside, it was a good call, but if that goes for you it's one each and we have the impetus. We didn't deserve to be losing at half-time and until the second goal I felt we were the better team, although Chelsea have some fantastic players.'

If you can take the heat.... – Their Chili Verde Burritos, which is pork in a green chili sauce, are very spicy, so you'll probably need something to wash it down (soda only makes it worse..adding sour cream, available upon request for probably 50 cents or so, does help.) but if you can take it, they can be very addictive. They have most other things you'd expect from a taco shop, but I keep going back for the Chili Verde.
Nachos – here, it's all about the carnitas nachos. the best things in the world. the downtown location has better food than the one on blackstone. plus, it's open very late night.

Good Morning!
Here we go!
My first meal is done, I am gonna do UBWO in an hour.
Lets get this thing done.
How r u today???
One foot in front of the other, just keep moving!
Hey Amy. I'm Terri-Lynne from NC. I want to lose 20 pounds of fat and gain 5 pounds of muscle. I have two teenage daughters that are in college. I am trying to get my husband on board, but he is not all in, so I am counting him out so he won't drag me down with him. My Body for Life Journal starts tomorrow, so today I am getting my workout material together. We are headed out of town and will be eating out most meals except breakfast. I am going grocery shopping tonight when we get to our destination and buying b-fast foods and snack - fruit, low-fat cottage cheese etc... I found the journal at goodwill for $1.20 and very excited about that. Our local library had the actual book, so I have been really digging into it this weekend and have the basics, but need to fine tune the workouts.
Terry my hubby had a great transformation in 2008. This morning I asked him to work out and he said " I don't work out"
then he went to burger king. So I know he will not be much support.
Hi Amy and Terri-Lynne! I'm starting tomorrow, July 2 with my husband. Would LOVE to join Team Rocket!
This is my 2nd full Challenge, 3rd overall (1st, in 2011, got derailed after about 7 weeks). My finished Challenge was completed on May 22 and I feel awesome, but in the past several weeks I have completely fallen off the workout wagon. Apparently I need more than 12 weeks to really establish good habits and solid internal motivation. And my husband is finally on board! He is one of those "skinny fat people"... very thin (probably < 10% body fat) but not very fit in the general sense. This is my way of pushing him into the gym because I am tired of him complaining that his back hurts or that he's tired all the time, AND I'll have a workout buddy!
Quick info on me: I am 30, live in Colorado (almost everyone here is CRAZY fit), my husband and I have 3 cats and 2 dogs, I work as a freelance software developer and graphic/web designer and my husband is an ex-chef turned web developer. We're doing all of our workouts first thing in the morning; it's so great to start the day feeling accomplished! :)
If anyone has questions regarding anything about the process gimme a shout. I can also give great recommendations for recipe ideas, meal plans, nutrition, etc. Food is a huge passion of mine and I have built up a large knowledge base on that in the past several years. My last "breakfast of freedom" was today: Bacon and french toast. Tonight, I am grilling wild-caught salmon and having that with sauteed kale and grilled russet potatoes and zucchini squash. I stopped doing the Free Day and started doing only a Free Meal halfway through my last Challenge... I would recommend it if you have the inner resolve. I found that Free Days really wrecked my system and inhibited my progress. Having a Free Meal really kept all of that in check. I also figured out how to cook a lot of workarounds for cravings (turkey sausage, veggie + chicken cheeseless pizza, 1-yolk garlic aioli, cottage cheese pancakes, sugar-free fruit sorbet, epic salads, etc).
Terri-Lynne where in NC do you live? I lived in Raleigh for about 2 1/2 years, really enjoyed it out there but Colorado is my home so I dragged my husband (NC native) back here with me. I really miss the beach, and fresh fish! We used to fly power kites at Fort Macon State Park and go fishing off the in-law's dock that went right out into the sound. Ahhhh....
I'd like to join this team if I may? I'm starting today, My breakfast was my oatmeal recipe, Lunch was some cold salad with pomegranate seeds and popcorn. Supper was grilled pork with vegetables. I'm starting the insanity workout tomorrow. I currently weigh 174.4 pounds and am 5'6". My goal weight is in the low 150's. More important to me is to tone my mid section and get from a 37" waist to around 30".
Hi lulady! Sounds like you are starting on a good eating plan and have some solid, and attainable, goals. I am in the low 150s and 5'6" and it feels awesome.
Visible tone in your midsection will have a lot more to do with body fat % than anything. For women, you won't start seeing visible abs until you get at or below 20% total body fat. Your waist should definitely drop, though that mid-section fat is stubborn as anything. I lost 3" off my true waist (narrowest part) and 2 1/2" off my wearing waist during the 12 weeks. I'm hoping to drop another 2" off my wearing waist, which would put me around a Size 6.
Also, I am curious, what was everyones' Decisive Moment?
Room for another?? My name is Tim and I am in Indiana. M and 45. I have taken my pictures and started over a number of times, but I am not stopping this time. Look forward to having a group to keep up with. I want to lose about 30 pounds, but more than that I want to get off my BP medicine. Good luck everyone!
Hi, I just wanted to check in real quick. I'm Josh and I plan on starting the challenge tomorrow as well. It just seems easier to start on a Monday for some reason. Started the challenge several times before but have never made it past 3 weeks. I've also never spent any time on this forum so hopefully this time I can stick to it for 12 weeks.
A little about me - I'm 29 married with three children, 4, 3, and 1 month. Live in Nebraska where I currently serve in the Air Force. I've always passed my fitness tests but that just means I can make myself run 1.5 miles under 13 minutes, it certainly doesn't mean that I am in good shape. So i hope to lose 35lbs and build some muscle.
Finally I hope to keep up with this forum and provide some encouragement and support, i'm sure I will need it as well, to everybody else starting this challenge with me.
Good Morning Team Rocket! I am off to an early start this am. I would like to have exercised before b-fast, but we are in a hotel and I felt uncomfortable going down to the gym at 5 am. We started off with the Egg-White Omelet and toast. I must say, I am stuffed! I plan to exercise around 9 this morning in the hotel gym. I bought my groceries for the next couple of days last night and I think we are all set. My hubby works out of town and I travel with him every other week. This is our week in the big hotel. Thank goodness it has a full kitchen and a gym!
Hey MWSeaHorse! We actually live about 20 minutes north of Raleigh, Right outside of Wake Forest. We love it here. I am originally from Western NC and my hubby is from Texas. He calls NC home now too (after 21 years, he better!)
The main support I need today is that we typically eat out either for lunch or dinner. Today it will be dinner. I want to plan ahead each night in my journal, but it seems difficult when I am not sure exactly where my husband may want to eat as well. Right now I am just putting down portion of lean meat, rice or potato, and steamed veggies.
Before last night, I was worried about getting in enough protein on BFL. After I had filled out my journal last night, I went back and calculated the protein. I was at 150 grams +/- for dinner. WOOT! Don't guess that is a worry now. I didn't realize how much protein was available in things like cottage cheese and tuna.
Hope everyone has a very positive day!
Hi Everybody,
I'm Jennifer (46) and I live in Texas outside of San Antonio. My husband and I are doing the challenge together. I have two sons - one will be 20 years old this week and the other will be 5! We did the challenge in 2009 and were very successful. We've kinda tried it half-heartedly a couple of times since then. Over the course of the last year, I've become very sedentary and my diet is pretty bad. Currently, I'm 5'6" and weigh 154. I swore I'd never get above 150 again - OOPS. This is why I've put the 'skids' on and have decided to make this lifestyle change.
I'd love to lose 20 pounds of fat and build visible muscle. Right now the muscles are invisible!
We do our workouts at home. We don't belong to a gym.
Are you using the online calculators that compare hip to waist ratios to determine body fat?
Hey everybody!
I am starting my round 2 challenge today and am so happy I found a group starting at the same time. I did my first challenge in 2011, did all 12 weeks and was astounded by the result. I lost 30 lbs, 4 sizes and hadn't felt so fit since my ballet days in high school. But as you all know life happens. It is now 2012 and life events put a serious halt on things. I was at the doctors the other day and was weighed for the first time in months and was devestated to find I have gained almost all my weight back.
RIght now I am recovering from strep throat and having my wisdom teeth surgically removed, so I am a little daunted by the excercising, but I keep telling myself that if I don't get back on it now, when I have the fire to change, I never will.
There is always an excuse to not get up and work out. That is the reason why you should.
I am a teacher, a mom of a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old whom I love dearly, and the wife to an amazing man.
Right now my goals are to get back to a healthy weight for my 5'10'' height, to have the energy and stamina where I am not relying on the kid's nap time everyday, and to get the inner me, out and about again.
My best friend and I are running our first 5k in 3 weeks, we have been training up for it for about 3 months.
So if you are wondering if BFL will give you the results you want, I have to tell you from experience- it will! You just get what you put into it.
Well my plan for today is to do my UBWO this evening. We do not belong to a gym, but I have a workout bench that I found by a dumpster several years ago (score!) and several sets of dumbells. It worked for me before, so I know it will again.
I look forward to going on this journey again. Have a blast guys!
Hi Team Rocket,
I am ready to commit to a new challenge today. I am a teacher and since summer began, I have been exercising more but not seen any weight reduction. I did Body for Life a couple of years ago and I'm hoping that by focusing on my eating, I will lose the 10lbs that I have gained since then. I'm off to do bootcamp at my gym.
Happy Monday!
Hey Guys and Girls, hope there is a spot open for another on Team Rocket. Started today and feeling awesome after a hard UPWO this morning.
Bit more about me im 28 5'10" and have about 35lbs go.
Looking forward to the journey, take care
Hi Amy - I'm Jenni from Maryland. Started on July 1 too. I am 42 yrs old, mother of 16 yr old son and 13 yr old triplets - 1 boy and 2 girls. I was an athlete in high school and let myself go as life happened to me ( I suspect like a lot of us did!). I am really looking forward to seeing how my body transforms and feeling fit again. I am 5'10" and currently 235 lbs. Hoping to remove 20 lbs over the course of the challenge and find my waist again! More than anything else I love how it feels to just move and not be stagnant. Day 1 - Upper body was tough and I am adequately sore from it. Cardio isn't a problem. We will see how lower body goes tomorrow!
Wow! We are off to a great start!
Let's start a new thread each day of the challenge..... who ever is online first!
