Most fans know Jens Pulver (24-15-1) for his legendary MMA status. Jens Pulver is a man who has accomplished every great feat in Mixed Martial Arts. A former UFC Lightweight Champion, Pulver is most known for his wild hair, exciting style and famous fights with BJ Penn. But even as a fan favorite, most are unaware by the haunting struggles Pulver has endured in his early life.
DRIVEN is a documentary which follows Jens Pulver during the final weeks leading to his fight against Javier Vasquez at WEC 47. Once watching the film, viewers quickly learn the documentary was based more on drive, determination and heart. Pulver, who was a victim of viscious abuse from his father, starting competeing in wrestling to escape his home. This was an outlet his mother really pressed knowing it could be an escape. After the abuse got to an all time high, it all suddenly stopped. After a 15 year old Pulver tried protecting his mother by attempting a single leg which ended in his father “piledriving,” it took an 8 year old child to call the police and end the abuse. Although a victim of extreme child abuse, Pulver has turned it around for the better.
The film also showed what Pulver has been doing to “pay his fame” forward by talking to schools. Pulver has done great things by explaining his early life to wrestling teams and auditoriums proving that anyone can be successful even if childhood was tough. Although never receiving love from his father, Pulver shows love to all these kids especially his own. Some would even say Pulver loves his kids twice as much because of past experiences. After hearing Pulver’s story and watching genuine love as playing with son Karson, it truly breaks hearts while a feeling of happiness is overwhelming. It really gives you a new respect for Pulver’s accomplishments.
The documentary ends with Pulver losing by first round submission to Javier Vasquez. It was not the ideal ending considering the love you gain for Pulver but it also teaches a valuable leason that when your down, get back up. As Fedor Emelianenko has once said “a man who doesn’t fall, doesn’t stand up,” and that quote sums up the life of Jens Pulver, a tough man who doesn’t know how to stay down.

You know that Tarsem is my favourite directed and Im anxious to see how he will tackle such a huge film in just eight months or so. Its a new trend in Hollywood to shorten the time for shooting even with huge blockbusters.But knowing,Tarsem, he probably already has half of the things ready and prepared.
To me, this is not a very good article. It basically just rehashes the tired old argument used to denigrate Bill Russells career. Listen, there is no one statistic that can take the measure of a player, or of a team, or of a career, or anything else. Not even championships one. Can we please STOP the search for the Perfect Statistic now? There is no one perfect statistic. The day we dont need to actually WATCH sports anymore, the day we believe everything in sports is measurable and measured, will be The Day The Sports Died.
James Agreed, he should care.Considering Ive never heard his name before, who the hell is Hank Finkel?
What a great movie list! I can see some of my personal favorites too there. As an absolute fan of Nolan, I cant agree more on Inception and The Dark Knight ;D Lord of the Rings and The Bourne series are also my all time favorites.
Go here to read the rest:
Andrew, theres a difference between void and impossible by definition. I think your slowness to grasp the point that I have made at least three times now is intentional. So be it.
I went to the cavs game the other day. It was great. I think they will win this year. Lebron=2nd time MVP
and for David Chase lovers, I submit that Northern Exposure and even Saint Elsewhere are superior to The Sopranos (this is not to disparage the latter)

What a great explanation of what happened to our economy. Now if we could get the Senate and the Congress to watch this maybe things would change for the better for Americans.

Harrison Ford is a talented American Actor. News reporter, some shadowy omen of Fall at best, dingy Yin at worst, trying to step up by stepping on. Dont let this happen again, or as We say in America, Nip it in the bud!
We have a problem in the arrogance and poor thinking of our current Congress and Executive Officials. Because of that I would support one amendment to the current Constitution. The Constitution permits amendment by treaty. Because of congressional ignorance and sneaky conniving, judicial cowardice, and bad thinking that is becoming dangerous to our rights, there is a needed clarification. It is only just that another can not sale or barter what they do not own or have authority over. The Constitution enumerates many of the freedoms of each individual citizen and recognizes many undeclared rights given by God to each and every person. Man does not have the rights to bargain away those rights or properties that belong to others. To do so is known as thievery. When theft has taken place the property is returned to the original owner when its location is verified. The sale is not legal or permited to stand. If the power and jurisdiction is not specifically listed in the Constitution, it does not belong to the Federal Government. That is what the Davy Crockett story is pointing out. The Federal Government has authority only over what is specifically given to it in the Constitution. Anything not specifically listed does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Federal Government. Our Federal Government has many arrogant bureaucrates who think they have the right to sell or have juridiction over everything. Our current Secretary of State thinks she can change the Constitution with any semblance of a treaty she can manipulate out of the U.N. or any other power. She is working under the pretense that when she gets her desired treaty from the U.N. we will loose our right to bear arms. The Federal government has no power there since it is reserved specifically for us. That is not something she has the right to sell or bargain away. If it is, she can do the same thing with any of our rights or freedoms. Since our Federal Government seems so weak minded as to not understand this I would like an amendment to make it crystal clear that they can only bargin with what they have jurisdiction over. Sometimes you have to hit a mule between the eyes with a 2X4 to get its attention.

The GenealogyToday website is WAAYY too confusing! it’s unusable.The laughable Digital Genealogist is so incredibly awful that not 1 genealogy company wanted to advertise in it! That is why it stopped publishing.MyHeritage? A bunch of crooks that promise you a free tree and then suddenly change their rules on you and demand money. They are EVIL.
