Gilbert Yvel Announced As Josh Barnett’s Affliction Opponent

(I’m in the grip of a nasty bug at the moment that’s leaving me with very little time to think about MMA. It being a big day for MMA - WEC and two TUF episodes - I didn’t wanna leave you guys hanging with nothing to do. So I talked to Steve from MMAConvert.com and he has agreed to let me mirror his content for the day. Really, you guys should be checking out his site all the time anyways. MMAConvert: It rocks) Josh Barnett has an opponent now for the upcoming Affliction card, but it isn’t Br

"It’s happened before. It’ll happen again."

by Conor Kilpatrick “It’s happening again.” Not only is that one of the creepiest, most chill-inducingest scenes in all of Twin Peaks – who can tell me the scene? – but it’s also pretty much the mantra for the Marvel and DC Universes. Just about everything that can happen has happened before and will again.  It’s the nature of the beast.  When you have corporately owned characters whose life spans will dwarf all of ours it’s a good thing to keep in mind when reading the funny books every week.

A Theme

“I call them themes. They (fans and customers) like to talk about different themes when things don’t go well.” — Bengals president Mike Brown, 1/1/08 Theme: 3. A written exercise on a given subject, esp. a school essay. — The New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, 1993 Oh! The theme I’ve been waiting for all my life. Listen to this sentence: “A Red Ryder BB gun with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time”. Poetry. Sheer poetry, Ralph! An A+! — Miss Shields, A Christmas St

The Nightowl Newswrap

Note to hunters: Sometimes the deer doesn't go down without a fight A central Missouri man dropped a nice big nine-point buck with two shots from a .270 and thought the animal was dead. As he knealt over it and prepared to field dress it, the deer sprang to life and attacked the hunter with his antlers before turning to run away and going down. The hunter finished the animal off with two more shots then realized he was hurt and drove to a hospital where he received seven staples in his scal

d.m. Cornelius Vermeule

From the Boston Globe: Life was ripe for historical analogy whenever Cornelius Clarkson Vermeule III spoke. He invoked the Trojan War when musing about a Red Sox pennant race and gave his dogs names that conjured the spirit of ancient Roman emperors. Past and present also mingled in each encounter at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where he was senior curator and oversaw the department of classical art for 40 years. A strolling genealogist, he memorized the names of colleagues and swiftly spu

Lead On Purpose — first year

Lead On Purpose is one year old today. Yippee! On December 2, 2007 I started the blog with a simple post inviting the world to participate in a discussion about developing and practicing leadership principles regardless of title (whether or not they have management responsibilities over other people). In the first few weeks and months things were pretty quiet; few readers, few comments. It was the “deafening silence” that David Meerman Scott writes about. Over time, however, things have picke

Good… that’s not how people should live

Apparently our favorite ex Goldman Sachs CEO and current US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said this today. “Millions of Americans” are being denied credit or facing rising credit card rates, “making it more expensive for families to finance everyday purchases.” So… everyday purchases are being made on credit? Maybe… just maybe… that’s why the economy is in the shitter. Why are people living on credit? Massive government incentives. Yes it’s been said a million times by people like Ron Paul

American Socio Economics

The current state of Social Economics in America made me think that perhaps a few quotable quotes might be in order.Yes, they are humorous, but come with meaning. “If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” Mark Twain Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress…. But then I repeat myself. -Mark Twain I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and tr

Canadian business legend Ted Rogers has died

Ted Rogers, indisputably one of Canada’s most legendary business figures, died yesterday at home, surrounded by loved ones. Successful, pioneering and visionary, Ted built a media empire by making big bets. There were times when no one believed Rogers would crawl out from under all the debt he took on, but counting on recurring revenue from Cable TV, and his legal mastery of the government regulation of telecommunications, Ted and his company Rogers survived and prospered. Our condolences g

Whither Speaker Craddick again

Charlie Kuffner has the numbers and Paul Burka has the gossip regarding Tom Craddick's tide seemingly going out again. Let's sample a bit from each; first Kuff:I point all this out, apparently just as the arm-twisting efforts on Craddick's behalf are being ramped up, so that the next time you hear a Craddick acolyte, like Rep. Will Hartnett or Burnet County Republican Linda Rogers, president of Texas Republican county chairmen, claim that opposition to Craddick is all about "liberals", you ask
