Topaz, I understand one of Mtommer's points, which is this: The reward for working hard at your tennis is your improved tennis, not your trophy. Therefore if someone disrespects your trophy or says they wouldn't value such a trophy for themselves, who cares? What I don't get is this. 1. Jolly said something you believe to be rude. 2. Jolly has not withdrawn his statement or apologized, and he never will. Why is there ever any reason to ever mention it ever again ever?
I'm the distance of the baseline to net length plus a foot or two back from the wall and I'm barely hitting the ball. The balls are hitting (in general) about a foot higher than net height. They just aren't going to come back bouncing very high. If they were old balls they'd be rolling by the time they got to me most likely. <shrug>
She does. As Topaz sees in another thread, "High level Open player" no longer equates to 5.5+. Result: Jolly never lied about claiming a high level. Given some of the remarks from the thread that got deleted, he in fact said he wasn't too. Two sentences... 1. Topaz, your "3.5 trophy" achievement is laughable. 2. A 3.5 trophy is a paperweight to me. Now, start reading through this thread as well as others. Number two equates to the follow: A personal opinion about a level of tennis and is not belittling anyone. Of course it doesn't. So what we end up with are Topaz' complaints nullified by HER own words. If she wants to continue on about acknowledging different views about trophies as viable, well, then I guess Jolly is now officially off the hook for his comments. It's the foregone conclusion to her posts, perfectly applicable. If she doesn't want to hold Jolly to the standard of her posts then fine, but she's a hypocrite then. I assume she's okay with that. I'm only "yelling" because I fail to see why she can't make the leap from what she has been saying to how it's applicable to Jolly. It's like saying the sky is blue and then criticizing someone for saying the sky is blue. Seems kind of looney to me.
Cindy, I agree that the greatest reward is the improved tennis. The trophy can be a symbol of that. I don't think it is cool...and I have every right to say it. This is still a discussion forum right? I mean, I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to discuss this matter and only some were allowed to offer their thoughts to this conversation. You started this thread with the context of Jolly, but that doesn't mean every reply is in the same context. Why do you think it ok for people (I DON'T MEAN JOLLY SPECIFICALLY HERE) to disrespect the hard work of other's? I mean, that is fine if you don't care, but others may have a different opinion from you. Did you read my post? (number 134) My reply was to Steady Eddy. In fact, I even quoted his post, so it was crystal clear who I was talking to and the context of my answer. Mtommer brought Jolly up again...so maybe you should ask him not to mention it ever again ever? Why did you start this thread if you didn't want it brought up?
I think you've summarised correctly. Thus I'd answer: We don't play tennis in a vaccuum. Comp tennis is a tennis playing public's societal construct to reward winning tennis. To say you don't care for trophies (whether having won them or not) is to thumb your nose at reality and society. Fine, nothing wrong with that. Except really if you play tennis then I think it best to try competitive tennis because I think we players can all agree that that is the acid test. Why say that? In comp tennis there are moments and situations that you just don't get into when hitting with mates. Comp tennis doesn't pamper your ego. How about this: my first comp match was losing as a 30 year old against a freckly 14 year old who I think I recall wore glasses. He'd played for 10 years, me for one. He belted me. Most 30 year old egos couldn't take this. Me: I was hooked. Trophies are awarded in comp tennis. But it could be anything. Let's use a little anthropology - the trophy is a societal totem, a boundary marker to say you have crossed over - but it could be anything, a towel, a tee, heck, even if it was a shrunken head I'd grab it. Comp tennis isn't everything and some find it not very nice at all. But it is a given that it is a fundamental plank of what makes this sport tick. So: heat, kitchen, etc...
S'funny I was just talking to a club pres on the weekend. Said that here in Syd over time we've had bracket-creep. Basically everyone who got rated high over time has kept their high rating, irrespective of comp results or no comp results, or whatever - they haven't been re-graded. This lack of a dynamic has simply meant that equiv of a 5.5 is no longer that. The simple reason behind this is no-one likes to go downwards in rank. Call it vanity or whatever. See to recall Jolly did start a thread specifically for "high-rated" players ONLy and presumably considered himself to be the one to do so... See I think you quite reasonalby bring up the fact that there are competing views of trophies and I basically agree with that. Yes, really they are trinkets only. However, I just wish to state that I think our sport has always valued comp tennis as the pinnacle - and with reason. Those reasons I have outlines in my post above. As I have experienced tennis over time I'd have to agree. Comp tennis is the acid test and I suppiose that make me an acid casualty!
Though I am reluctant to enter the dark valley of death that is this thread, I can't resist adding my 2 cents If we consider a trophy being not so much the actual physical trinket, but rather a representation of an achievement, then trophies are cool. We each have our own internal measure of what we consider an achievement, so the value of a trophy can only be measured by the person earning it. Now if we consider the actual physical trinket, that's just a personality thing. Some people like having physical reminders of things - vacation photos, mementos, their child's baby shoes / hair / whatever, etc. Some people don't go for this kind of thing and just relive significant memories in their mind. But however you look at it, putting down someone else's achievements is not cool.
^^^Agreed. If we start to argue that only accomplishments that are of the highest level matter then almost nothing most people do in life "matters." It's a very negative view of life. You didn't graduate from Harvard? Well don't frame that diploma. I suppose we should just throw away all our childhood academic awards because they aren't Nobel prizes.
well, judging from all the pointless threads you start, there is A LOT YOU DON"T GET. It was rude. He lied about his playing level. He continues doing it >>>>>> lying about his level, and being rude to those he feels are beneath his playing level, who coincidentally, he is no better than And in the same way, posters who have just as much right to post, will continue posting their thoughts on the matter, especially since he keeps putting down what he considers lower level players. Some momo started this thread: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=312344
This is the crux of the matter, I think. Yes, anyone here can say anything. Point conceded. So why do I care if you raise this point over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over? Because it has a chilling effect, Topaz. If you and others continue to dredge this stuff up and keep it alive, it has an effect on the board. Consider TFM's original bet thread and the couple of others about the bet that were deleted. Jolly actually posted on one of those threads. Me, I was happy about that. I *want* to know how things are going for him in his own words. I'd like to hear about his opponents, what he thinks he needs to do to improve. I am genuinely interested. If folks are going to stalk him (and yes, I think the "discussion" has risen to the level of stalking), then he isn't going to contribute and the discussion of his tennis exploits has been chilled. Instead of hearing how Jolly's last match went, I get to read how folks are *still* carrying a grudge about Jolly's posts. This is tiresome and frustrating for someone like me who would simply like to discuss tennis in a pleasant environment. You know, I have been married almost 20 years now. I can assure you that my husband has said things and done things that I thought were rude. Do I raise these things over and over? No, I do not. Sure, I might get some perverse pleasure out of rubbing his face in it, needling him, giving him the business, setting the record straight. At some point, I have to *let it go already.* It is better for me, it is better for him, it is better for us. Wouldn't you agree with me that it would be better for you, for Jolly, and for the innocent bystanders like me at TW if everyone just laid down their weapons? You know, forgive and forget? Be the bigger person? Take the high road? Is that really so hard? There. I have said my piece, made my position clear, explained myself as best I can. I will now lead by example, as it were. I simply won't respond if the Jolly Truth Squad keeps raising this stuff. I think it would be better if we all just Moved On. Whether you choose to do the same is entirely up to you.
Yes, but . . . All trophies are not created equal. Surely we can agree that winning a major is a huge accomplishment because it means you were the very best tennis player in the world for those two weeks. Winning a 2.5 trophy does not mean you were the best in the world. It doesn't even mean you were the best 2.5 in the world. It means you were the best 2.5 of the four 2.5 players who showed up that weekend. If we turn the discussion to diplomas, a diploma means you completed a particular course of study. If Harvard, it was probably among the toughest in the world. If it was Hal's Wonderful World Of Diploma Mills, it means next to nothing. Is a diploma from Hal's to be compared to a diploma from Harvard? Of course not. One is a trophy and the other is a paperweight.
Because he continues to do it, therefore, posters are responding to him. How is it that it is tiresome for you to read posters responses to his efforts of putting down players, yet it is not tiresome for you to read his BS?? and why did you start this thread if it is "tiresome" for you???
As am I, and if you read my posts on those threads, you would realize that. The only things I saw deleted from the bet thread were false accusations and personal attacks (such as 'burn the witch'...ask mtommer about that one). What have I dredged up? I think that was mtommer you want to talk to there. Funny how you excuse him, but if respond to him and defend myself, then *I'm* the one dredging stuff up? Well, look at who is starting the threads. You need to take a look at what is actually out there instead of believing just a few people. Who is stalking who exactly? Again, I was going my happy little way in this thread, and it was mtommer who brought Jolly up again, followed by Joel and Ska, all aimed at me. But you 'scolded' me, not him. Your bias is showing loud and clear. Yet, YOU are the one who started this thread. I have contributed in a positive manner in this thread, can you say the same for your little friends? Jolly has posted his own info on this forum many, many times. He agreed to the bet thread...a thread where it was made clear his results would be posted. Where is the stalking? Just because others accuse some of stalking, doesn't mean it actually happened or it is true. I tried that once Cindy. Remember your 'pledge'? I took it. I stuck to it. Others, in your little 'Leave Jolly Alone Society', did not. And then I was harassed and insulted myself. Interesting how you don't seem to remember that or hold others to their personal responsibility. And I have said my piece, several times, yet you and Mtommer can't read my posts for what they are...you are the ones injecting Jolly into my posts to other people and are assuming everything I write is about him. You are the one who started this thread. Maybe you guys are the ones who need to Move On?
What, what is it I see??? LOL Have you read that thread? Um, yes he did. I mean, Cindy doesn't want us to dredge things up, but if you are going to post things that you know are wrong, be prepared to be corrected. And to you I say...that is not cool. Just like me and others have said...it is not cool and downright rude to belittle someone else's accomplishments. Why would you do that? Why would you say that to someone else? What does that do for YOU? I have never belittled Jolly's accomplishments. Read my beef again. I have never suggested that he stop playing opens, only that he start also playing at his own level as well, because I think he will improve his tournament playing that way. His record clearly reflects that as well. Many others have said the same exact things I have, yet you guys always jump on me. Interesting. No, what we have is you trying to twist everything I say because you are stalking me and bent on your little Jolly crusade. I've never wavered here...I think it is rude for anyone to belittle someone else's achievements and hard work. I have not belittled Jolly's playing or anyone else's. I have expressed my disappointment with his words and his claims and his lack of personal responsibility. I get that others don't think it is a big deal to have the actual physical piece of hardware...but I will always think it is cool and a big deal when someone works hard to improve and works toward a goal. I think we all agreed on that in this thread. Except, it seems, for you.
I dunno... ...look at what I said in post #18. The original question was "How proud should any of us be if we win a non-pro tournament or match?" where my stock answer is "This is not a group think exercise, IMHO...each of us is individually entitled to feel proud (or not) of whatever trophies you've won, for whatever reason." But I do think that striving and achieving your best, which is what I call winning, is a noble occupation. If you look at ski racing, for example, there is as wide a spectrum of abilities and events as exist in tennis. For most World Cup and Olympic champions, a crystal globe or gold medal is the thrill of a lifetime. The first time I won a Masters race, which ain't even in the same league as the WC or Olympics, it was also the thrill of a lifetime for me. And last year, I saw some folks qualify for the NASTAR nationals, as first time racers, and it was the thrill of a lifetime for them and they cherished the medals they won. Striving for something and winning, IMHO, is one of life's rare thrills, and at whatever level, you ought to be proud and happy. Just be a gracious winner, and acknowledge the effort that your opponent or the other contestants put out, is my only request....
Well, people can take pride in a clod of dirt, too. As you correctly say, "striving and achieving your best" is a noble occupation. The part you wrote about winning, though . . . . That I'm not so sure about. What I mean is this. Say you are playing tournaments and not winning any matches but are having competitive results against higher-level players. No paperweights for you. Far from it, in fact. Is that "striving and achieving your best?" I ask, because I think it is in some sense. Yet I think I am in the minority on that around here.
Goodness, Topaz, that wasn't in any way shape or form an attack on you. When someone posts the picture of a witch, one must quote the obligatory Monty Python "Burn the witch." quote. One must insert whatever "Holy Grail" quote one can in whatever compacity possible. One just must!
I never said anything about burning witches. I'd hate to see anyone burn or even melt for that matter. That is terrible and cruel. Cyndi's analagy of letting things go with her hubby makes alotta sense. The original high level player thread was not disparaging at all. I have yet to see one person's life deeply affected by the paperweight conspiracy. It seems its affected those without a life the most, such is the work great minds and great artists. Those who can do, those who can't - talk.
Not to go too far off into the Theater of the Absurd... ...but: - There's nothing wrong with a clod of dirt, or taking pride in it, either. I live in Farm Country, Colorado, where dirt is a noble thing, if for no other reason than it is part of the equation, along with hard work, that feeds a nation. - I'm no longer of the philosophy that winning is the most important thing, or the only thing. That's a personal choice, there's plenty of people around who firmly believe that winning is the only thing. I'm not trying to convert them. I go by the Rudyard Kipling quote at Wimbledon: "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; . . . Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!" So that's just what I believe. - Which leads to winning, being competitive, and what the grounding philosophy of that is. Mine is simple: 1 - Always do my best. 2 - Believe in myself. 3 - Play fair, and respect the competition. He, she, or they care as much about this as I do, and are trying just as hard to do the best possible. 4- Have fun, somehow. 5 - If I do 1 through 4, without fail, the results will take care of themselves, and they'll be whatever they are supposed to be. So that's what I believe, in this discussion. I'm not trying to convert anyone else, or compare, contrast, or criticize my philosophy vs. anyone else's. This is just the way I live, on and off a tennis court, everyone else's mileage may vary...
Topaz and "Jesus-Tap-Dancing-Christ-Drakulie" both ask why I started this thread. Topaz deserves an answer. I started it for the very same reason Gameboy started his thread about aspirational players: To distract the people who wish to hound Jolly and drag every thread about the TFM/Jolly bet into the mud. Think of it as throwing chum into the water, if you like that visual. Gameboy and I chose different vehicles, and I hoped this thread would turn into a thoughtful discussion about the importance of trophies. For the most part, it did, IMHO. I kinda thought that was obvious and there was no need to spell it out, but there you have it. Skiracer, you have an admirable and pure outlook on the place sports should have in our lives. It is refreshing, to say the least.
Yes, it was/is. Does it have an affect on people's lives where they are deeply affected or it will somehow change their life in a dramatic fashion? NO. However, even though all of us (the TW community) don't know one another on a personal level, or even know what a poster looks like, their is still a level of trust established between posters. Their is a lot of good and bad information passed on this board. Who you will beleive is dependent on the level of trust that person has established and how much weight you put into that person's post. Fact is, he lied, and has been posting under the pretense of that lie since he joined this "community", and has yet to set the record straight, including once again putting down what he considers "lower level players", while at the same time trying to make himself out to be better or at a higher level than them. J may very well be a great person, I have no doubt as I have met him and am glad I had that experience. However, he is dead wrong on this issue, and has lost all TRUST I had put in him before I found out the truth, and in finding out that truth, finding out how badly he was putting down other's accomplishments.
Thanks much... ...but before you elect me to sainthood, I am only pure and admirable until the after race party. Then, it's time for Upside Down Margaritas, The Antler Dance, and High Speed Donuts in the parking lot in the Batmobile...as described in the following: http://www.rmmskiracing.org/snownews/SnowNews-2003Feb.pdf http://www.rmmskiracing.org/articles/RMalm-2006-03-Goals.pdf http://www.rmmskiracing.org/articles/RMalm-2006-03-Hotbox.pdf http://www.rmmskiracing.org/articles/RMalm-2001-10-DayJob.pdf
Yes, some of us *are* innocent. I'd say the percentage of innocents here hovers around 99%. If you are willing to forgive and forget, if you are genuinely interested in the tennis adventures of others, if you can grasp how none of this is good for the board and that a whole lot of people are *well and truly sick of it* . . . .then you are innocent. IMHO.
Well, it looks like this thread has gone somewhere strange, but for what it's worth, I see nothing wrong with paperweights. Paperweights can be better than trophise. People collect paperweights and some of them are worth quite a bit (thousands of dollars), others collect the sort of paperweight that is like a souvenir of some special moment. Personally, rather than a tee shirt, plaque, dust-catching trophy, set of tumblers with the club logo, platter, gift certificate to the pro shop, and all that stuff, I would rather get an actual paperweight- hand blown, Venitian glass, signed, (about the size of a tennis ball with a slice taken off). Problem solved trophy=paperweight. Still, money would be best.
Before I moved to the east coast my dad and I were contemplating all the boxed up possessions of mine being shipped and those that stayed behind at our winter compound in the Rockies. One of the boxes contained a truckload of my Junior tennis trophies. Up to the age of 12 I was a feared sandbagger on the Ventura County junior circuit. I won every boys 10/12 and under tournament in the same region that Sam Querrey grew up in for 3 years straight in a hotbed of tennis. These were big trophies, the 3 footers. They were pretty damn impressive on my wall growing up. And I loved them, I loved winning them. I think I amassed about 30 to 40 trophies from all the major clubs in the region. I especially loved winning the Ojai Satellite tournament being it had the most prestige amongst the top juniors in Ventura County. I'll never forget playing against my friend Todd in the final with a huge crowd watching, clapping, gasping and cheering our epic 3 setter that I ended up winning. That win landed me a berth in the SCTA Sectionals in Whittier that year where I promptly got dubble bageled to a very famous guy that now coaches WTA. We were good. We were damn good. We battled like hell in those tournaments. My paperweight from the Santa Barbara junior open when I lost to an 11 year old Michael Chang was a purpleish hue and was my most devastating loss, and was the big wake up call that I didn't have the support and commitment that Betty Chang had for her kids. Andre says he hated it but my ultimate dream would be a dad that demanded I played tennis and not go to school. What a life. What a perfect childhood. I'll take that dragon any damn day Mike. You sir, were a blessing from God. Around 1989 before my folks moved Sin City(tm) I lost the fervor for the tennis trophies and lost touch with that segment of my life. They eventually became forgotton and replaced with the newfound love for Rush, TS Eliot, Yes, and Led Zeppelin; coupled with combing the beaches of Southern California in search of truth, tasty waves and blonde frosted honey babes. I went a good 10 years of never thinking of those trophies. There was no love for tennis for many, many years. While kids that I beat as a junior went on to Pepperdine, Cal Lutheran, USC and UCLA to play tennis, I was soul searching and harboured resentment that my tennis career was mangled and lost in the midst of total disfunctional family drama, death and Betrayal(tm). I had completely forgot about those 3 foot high paperweights. Years later I learned that my stepmother who was under the slow croaking hands of cancer had kept them for me for 15+ years after she died in 1999. I took them to my next destination and put them up in a room and looked at them with proud honor. For a period of my life I was GOAT. I was good. I was damn good. I was rewarded with sick hardware and number 1 rankings that made me damn proud. And so, in the Summer of 2006 my father and I sent all my moving boxes to the east coast in preparation for my new life angering people on Wall Street. In a moment of perverse recklessness, I picked up the boxes of tennis trophies and I dumped them in the Waste Management bin next to my fathers company's parking lot. I dumped all those paperweights: the one from Ojai, the one from 1000 Oaks, the one from Santa Barbara, the one from Pierpont and the ones from Westlake Village and the one from Westshore. I dumped them all and now, lately, after taking up tennis again the past few years and getting 3 or 4 trophies for meaningless NTRP tourneys, I'd give anything to have those symbols of that beautiful era of junior GOAT glory, I'd give anything to have those damn paperweights back. Damn me for throwing them away. They were marvelous. They were beautiful. I earned them. Every damn one of them. The hours and hours and hours hitting on that backboard on Triunfo Canyon Road were rewarded. The journey for paperweights lives on as a crippled old NTRP freak with an insatiable love for 85 square inch box beams, junk food, and cheap gut.
^Could the memory of the paperweights mean more to you than the paperweights themselves? In other words, if you actually had them, would that make you not want them? Cindy -- amateur psychologist (tm)
Woody Allen (in a movie a long time ago when he was good): "I'm sorry, I've just been really nervous like this since I quit smoking." Young blond chick: "Oh, I'm trying to stop smoking too. When did you quit?" Woody Allen: "25 years ago." Young blond chick: "What...? 25 years...? That doesn't make sense! Are you joking or what?" Woody Allen: Shrugs, rolls eyes. I am shrugging and rolling my eyes. But big deal, dude, some of the other folks on this thread have ISSUES!
Post reported: Repeated trolling and attacking of Jolly in every possible context and hiding behind convoluted arguments. Mods, stop this stalking once for all.
^^^actually, CindySphinx, who happens to be the OP of this thread is the one who brought jolly into the discussion in her very first post, and make him the center piece of the discussion. So, this thread is an attempt by the OP to troll Jolly. Not, Topaz.
Cindy, stop trolling about Jolly by baiting others by dropping his name, knowing they will pounce on him. As a mature (hehe) woman, you should know better than tease these kids.
I know! I keep saying, "Jesus tap dancing Christ, leave the man alone," but that only makes them madder!

The New Art of Capturing Love: The Essential Guide to Lesbian and Gay Wedding Photography by Kathryn Hamm and Thea Dodds
Review by Lauren
Source: Copy from Blogging for Books; all opinions are my own
Official Summary: With nearly half of the states in the US (and 13 countries) currently recognizing same-sex partnerships, the market for LGBT weddings is poised for explosive growth, offering great opportunity for today's wedding photographers. But capturing portraits in this new market requires a new approach to posing, which until now has been nearly exclusively oriented toward pairing a larger man in black with a smaller woman in white. What works for Jack and Jill won't necessarily work for Jack and Michael, let alone Jill and Louise. The New Art of Capturing Love rewrites these traditional techniques, giving photographers the tools to create flattering, emotion-filled images for any couple in today's dynamic wedding market.
Review: I might not be a professional photographer, but I can admire good photography. Plus, I'm a big fan of love, in all types of forms. Therefore, I really loved checking out this book about LGBT wedding photography. I've never given it much thought, but it's true that a lot of typical wedding shots would not work for a couple of the same sex. It was really interesting to see new pose ideas in this book. They even include ideas for the wedding "objects" like dresses, suits, shoes, rings, etc. as well as wedding party/group shots.
source |
There are Behind the Lens moments where the photographer whose photo is highlighted share some thoughts about the shot, or the couple in the shot. I loved the more personal information the best, of course, since I don't take pictures for a living. I think this book has a nice mix for fans of photography to those who want to try and recreate these moments. I liked how the authors included their thoughts throughout the book to help photographers in using some of these ideas. They note to talk to the couple and see how comfortable they are with PDA and other things that photographers might take for granted. They also note how some poses will work better for some couples than others, depending on heights, what they are wearing, etc.

text: Stop Harping on Negative Comments and Put Things into PerspectiveMelanie Pinola3/06/13 9:00amFiled to: PsychologyMind HacksCommunicationsocial gpsshutterstock52EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkOur brains are wired to pay more attention to threats than to normal everyday things. While this is great for natural self-preservation, it can also make us unduly sensitive to negative comments or criticism. If your day has ever been ruined by one negative remark, you know what I mean. AdvertisementPsychologist Dr. Marlo Archer explains how we tend to ignore the hundreds of remarks people make all day long when they don't pose any threat. "That is so funny." "How are you feeling?" "Here are the TPS reports." They just pass over us, even if they're positive.But if you hear one negative comment ("That's a stupid idea" or "You need a haircut"), you're likely to think about it all day, maybe even start doubting yourself, because that negativity is threatening.AdvertisementThe solution, according to Dr. Archer is to put it into perspective:Take all the positive in and use it to balance the negative. Think about negative comments in a balanced way. Evaluate them objectively to see if they even have any merit or not, and if they're really more about the person who said them, and not really much about you, then just let them go and move on.If you're just dealing with a negative person, you'll have to figure out if their advice is worth listening to or not. It's possible that the negative criticism is valid and you do need to change something, but it's probably not as bad as it might seem. Work on the negative things you have to, but don't forget all the praise and positive things you've received as well.

The final performance show of "The Voice" gave the four finalists, Dia Frampton, Javier Colon, Beverly McClellan, and Vicci Martinez, a chance to perform original songs — though, not their own material, but songs written for them by various famous songwriters and producers.
Refresh your memory with the performances below, then vote in our poll! Who do you think will take home the grand prize at the end of the show?
The first original performance was from Javier Colon, whose song "Stitch By Stitch" was trending on Twitter just minutes after he'd finished singing. Cee-Lo thought that Javier exemplified "the ability of an artist to embody a song written for them," he said. "It sounds like it's your song."
Blake Shelton said that Javier was a "good dude," and coach Adam Levine agreed. "You must be so relieved. Like Blake said, everyone knows you're an amazing singer but what they may not know is that you're such an amazing guy… I'm so excited for you and he amazing things you're going to do in your career."
For Team Cee-Lo, Vicci Martinez's song, "Afraid to Sleep," was one that she felt she connected with because it is "an epic song, and it builds."
When she was finished, Adam said, "The crazy thing about this show is that we all sit here and we have the best time watching you as spectators… I bought every single second of it. I was so invested in the way you were feeling." Christina Aguilera added, "You're a dynamic performer. You get on that stage and you make it official."
Dia Frampton, Blake's contestant, sang a song called "Inventing Shadows." Before she went into the studio, she said, "The last record I did in my mom's house. You can actually hear the dishwasher in one song." When she was finished, Christina Aguilera told her that it was "really lovely," but she wondered why Blake had added shadow dancers to the performance when he'd earlier criticized Christina's theatrics.
Adam agreed. "I just got distracted by the stuff that was happening in the background. I didn't need all the stuff." For his part, Blake was unfazed, saying that his fellow coaches would know true distraction when Dia crushed them on iTunes.""How are they going to focus will all of that iTunes domination happening?"
Finally, Beverly McClellan performed her original song "Lovesick," which coach Christina suggested she add a bluesy feel to to make it her own. "We all know you're an amazing performer," Christina said after the performance. "You just get up on stage and you kill it. What I love so much about you is you have great work ethic. You always show up, you always have a smile on your face ready to make people laugh."
Blake said, "If music was crack, you would have a serious problem. It's awesome to watch it. It comes out of her, it goes in her, it's awesome. Yes I said crack."
Who do you think will win it all? Vote in the poll below and leave a comment about the episode.

Israel Housing Boom Threatened as Netanyahu Seeks Caps
Jonathan FerzigerIsrael's failure to cap a surge in housing prices threatens to add a new drag on an already slowing economy.
With the International Monetary Fund warning of a possible bust, a committee including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday approved proposals to exempt first-time buyers from value-added tax, and capping new home prices.
Housing prices soared 80 percent between 2007 and 2013, while wage increases trailed at 25 percent, according to the Central Bureau of Statistics in Jerusalem. The boom threatens the broader economy as people funnel more and more money into homes, said Shai Azar, a real estate analyst at Tel Aviv-based IBI - Israel Brokerage & Investments Ltd.
"Real estate prices force people to take large mortgages, and that can affect consumption," Azar said by phone. "People will break into their savings to pay for apartments, at the expense of consumption, hurting economic growth."
Israel's $273 billion economy has already been clobbered by an appreciating shekel and depressed global demand that have cut into exports. Gross domestic product grew 3.3 percent in 2013, the least since 2009, and the Bank of Israel yesterday pared its 2014 forecast to 3.1 percent. Exports, accounting for one-third of the economy, rose 0.7 percent in 2013, down from 0.9 percent in 2012, 7.3 percent a year earlier and 14 percent in 2010.
Netanyahu told Channel 2 television on March 8 that his government hasn't done enough to tame housing prices and he doesn't "intend to neglect this front."
Tangled Process
Last month, the IMF warned that Israeli home prices were 25 percent above equilibrium and that there was a 20 percent chance of a recession-provoking housing bust. As home prices continued climbing, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's EST-15 index of Israel's biggest real estate companies has outperformed the broader TA-100 index since early last year.
In Israel, the state owns 93 percent of the land and leases it for construction. The Bank of Israel, which introduced new restrictions on mortgages after rate cuts made homebuying more attractive, has urged the government to boost supply.
"There's an enormous amount of red tape to cut before you can even dream of creating enough supply," Jonathan Katz, a Jerusalem-based economist for HSBC Holdings Plc, said in a telephone interview. Citing government statistics, he said it takes an average 13 years from the initial planning stages to delivering the keys of a finished apartment to the buyer.
Azar said the government hasn't tackled the supply problem because the multiple government offices that would have to sign off on changes sometimes have conflicting agendas.
Different Agendas
"They all must cooperate, and in practice, they pull in different directions and that is holding it up," he said.
What's more, "the government has profited nicely from the rise in prices," Azar said. "When apartment prices went up, land prices went up, profit taxes and betterment taxes went up, and the government benefited."
Housing costs touched off a summer of cost-of-living protests in 2011 that drew as many as 400,000 people to the streets. Hundreds pitched tents on Tel Aviv's fashionable Rothschild Boulevard for months to dramatize their inability to make ends meet.
While initially denouncing the protests as "populist" stunts, Netanyahu eventually pledged to bring down prices. The government's efforts so far have been insufficient, he said in his interview with Channel 2.
"You have to break the government monopoly to free up more land and build more housing," Netanyahu said.
Profits Eroded
Opening more land to development may help construction companies such as Property & Building Corp. and Africa-Israel Residences Ltd., according to Noam Pincu, an analyst at Tel Aviv-based Psagot Investment House Ltd. "Land is so expensive that it cuts into profits even when prices are high," he said.
Ori Greenfeld, chief economist at Psagot, said housing starts must rise to 50,000 a year to cover mounting demand, up from 44,341 in 2013 and 46,763 in 2011.
"Even if the prime minister tries to maneuver the market into building more housing, it's going to take a long time to see results -- at least five years," Greenfield said.
IBI's Azar estimated there is a current shortfall of 80,000 housing units. With annual demand at 40,000 to 45,000, 50,000 to 60,000 homes will have to built in each of the next three to four years to bridge the gap, he said.
Lower Prices
One of the measures approved yesterday, promoted by Netanyahu, would cap prices for some new construction at 20 percent below the end-2013 market median by subsidizing land costs. The other proposal, by Finance Minister Yair Lapid, would exempt some first-time buyers from the 17 percent VAT. It isn't clear how much the programs would cost.
The Bank of Israel predicted yesterday that the measures "are likely to lead to volatility in volumes of activity and in prices in the market in coming months." Lapid said in a television interview late yesterday that prices will start to decline this year and drop "significantly" in 2015.
Lapid's plan set off a round of high-level squabbling after it was disclosed last week. Housing Minister Uri Ariel called it "half a plan," and Bank of Israel Governor Karnit Flug, who supports Netanyahu's concept of a "target price," warned that it would fuel demand.
Finance Ministry chief economist Michael Sarel quit, saying the program "is based on a superficial and inaccurate economic analysis of the real estate sector and the effects of the proposed policy on supply and demand."
Looking Abroad
Today, seven in 10 Israelis live in their own homes, according to government statistics. With a modest, three-bedroom apartment in Tel Aviv going for about $800,000 and the average annual wage around $33,000, many young people are despairing of becoming homeowners. Some are looking abroad for cheaper housing, in some cases moving to Germany and other European nations their persecuted grandparents fled.
If the government doesn't increase supply considerably, "it will hurt an entire generation of young people," Amir Haik, chief economist at Union Bank of Israel Ltd., said by phone. "They need to have fair prices."

Figure out how to make buildings fall down
Get lost in the woods
Play with swords
"Judgement comes from experience."
"A lot of experience comes from bad judgement."
"Lead me to wisdom then!" 🍻
I poached quail eggs, then served them topped with melted butter and bacon. As an appetizer.
Witty and quick witted - I once claimed to be a secret agent on the run, in desperate need of a bottle of tobasco sauce to distract the hunting dogs. After the laughter died I did get the tabasco sauce!
More serious stuff: Guns, Germs, and Steel, The Happiness Hypothesis, Cadillac Desert, Unweaving the Rainbow, Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance. There are few things to compare with a sunny afternoon, a good book, and a bottle of wine.
Movies and Shows: I basically don't watch tv, nor do I have a Netflix subscription. Too many fun things to do!
Food: Italian will always be my favorite. (I've always been jealous of my cousins, who have Italian family on their other side.) My philosophy is to try anything, as long as I can get a fork in it before it runs off my plate. So far I haven't been given a reason to reconsider this!
- A bike. Definitely my preferred mode of transit.
- Sunshine - I swear its why I grew so tall
- A good book
- A good bottle of wine
- Adrenaline (far too many fun and exciting things to do)
this makes me very happy.
My career choice partly stems from playing with LEGO. This is not a
bad thing in my opinion.


text: PIBBS MENTOR Associate Professor Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology Research Topics Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Diseases Research Overview Our research has been focused on characterization of human mesenchymal stem cells and understanding relationship between mesenchymal stem cells and orofacial diseases at molecule and cellular levels. We and our collaborators have isolated and identified several new populations of mesenchymal stem cells, including dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs, PNAS 2000), stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED, PNAS 2003), periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs, Lancet 2004), stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP, PLoS ONE 2006), and tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs, Nat Med 2007). We have further used these stem cells to regenerate a variety of orofacial tissues in animal models (Stem Cells 2007, Stem Cells 2008, Oral Diseases 2008). In addition, we examine how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) involve in diseases and how to utilize MSC to cure human diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (Nat Biotech 2002, J Clin Invest 2004, PLoS ONE 2008, Blood 2009, Stem Cells 2009). Following is a brief introduction of our current research projects: 1. Understanding mechanism that governs mesenchymal stem cell stemness and differentiation. 2. Isolation and characterized diseased stem cells 3. Interplay between mesenchymal stem cells and Treg/Th17 4. Utilizing mesenchymal stem cell transplantation to cure systemic diseases 5. Stem cell-mediated orofacial tissue regeneration 6. Utilizing mesenchymal stem cells to cure bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw

Dry land training for Ducks
TEMPE, Ariz. Even with a day off on the road to cherish after playing five games in the past seven days, the Ducks' Cam Fowler still sought out some form of competition on Sunday.
Fowler traded his stick for a bat and began to display the form that made him a starter as a 10th-grader at Pioneer High in Ann Arbor, Mich., as a group of Angels players watched at the team's spring training complex.
Nick Bonino also took some cuts in the batting cage, but the center was no match for his teammate. But then Fowler wasn't exactly standing in against Jered Weaver.
"I did OK," Fowler said. "I was a little rusty not swinging the bat for a while. I had fun. Had a coach and some players helping me.
"We had a little friendly competition going between me and Bones. I kind of felt back to normal once I got a few swings in there."
In fact, Fowler could have swung at a few pitches from the ace of the Angels if he pushed for it. Watching them zoom past the plate was good enough.
"We just stood in front of him to see what it looks like," he said. "Nobody even dared try to hit it. That would make us look stupid."
Members of the Ducks joined up with their baseball neighbors to enjoy a rare respite from a condensed lockout-shortened schedule that will leave little time for such endeavors.
Goaltender Viktor Fasth judged the hitting competition that Fowler easily won while the coaching staff and front office personnel presented Angels manager Mike Scioscia with an alternate black and orange Ducks sweater.
The Ducks are in a stretch where they play 20 games in 37 days. The toll of two sets of games on back-to-back nights last week was apparent in their defensive struggles Saturday that contributed to a 5-4 shootout loss to Phoenix.
A mental and physical break was necessary.
"I think it's important," Fowler said. "Especially playing in the amount of games that we'll play in such a short time. I think it's good to have some team bonding stuff like this and be able to get your mind away from hockey and just take a breather for a day.
"We're right back at it again. Sometimes you just need a little break to refresh and relax your mind."
Another idiosyncrasy of the schedule is teams will play the same opponent in two or even three consecutive games, which is the case with the Ducks against the Coyotes as they'll play again Monday night before moving to Anaheim on Wednesday.
It is a mini-series of sorts and an important one when it comes to the Pacific Division. The Ducks managed a point Saturday and are up by eight over San Jose and Dallas with Phoenix nine back and using these games to make up ground.
"I think it'll just add to the intensity of the games," winger Andrew Cogliano said. "You play a team three times in a row, it's kind of like a little playoff series. They need the points against us, and we need to keep going.
"These are tough games especially with next game in their building. Hopefully we'll get a win and go home."
Tempers already began to flare up between the teams Saturday and the more they see of each other in a short time, the greater chance that their competitive juices will get their blood boiling.
"It might get there," Coach Bruce Boudreau said. "There was a lot of compete. I think there's a lot of little trash talk out there as well."

A Morrocan lantern hanging over an intimate table set in the shade of Florida's glorious banyan trees is a recipe for a magical evening, as featured in Cottage Living . When darkness falls, you're cocooned by the surrounding trees and lush plantings of the garden.
Airy metal garden furniture enhances the romantic feeling of the setting with its ethereal quality.
Rather than trying to grow grass in the shade, simply pour gravel and enjoy the sound of it crunching underfoot.

Optimization Tips for MS SQL 6.5: Storage Nullable FieldsJune 5, 2000
You can use the following undocumented command to view the data
pages structure (in comparison with DBCC PAGE, this command will
return information about all data pages for viewed table, not only for
particular number):
1. If you define default constraint for some fields, you should
define this fields as NOT NULL.
2. Place all nullable fields at the end of the fields list
(after fields with fixed length), so than more often this
field will contain NULL value, the closer to the end
of the record it should be placed.
Because one byte is placed into the Offset table for each nullable
field, (to the exclusion of the field that situated at the end of
the row and containing the Null value, or if only fields that contains
the Null values are situated after this nullable field) you may
economize storage space if you will use this tips. The economy can
make from several percents up to two times (look at the examples below).
1. Incorrect example:
These are the results from my computer:
You can see, that in this example two pages was created for
storage two data rows. This is because one byte was placed
into the Offset table for field field5 at the end of each
data row.
These are the results from my computer:
As you can see, that in this example only one page was created
for storage two data rows. This is because one byte was not
placed into the Offset table for field field5 at the end of
each data row.
By the way, if you will create field6 as
then you will economize one byte in the Offset table too.
MS SQL reads data by entire pages. So for this query:
SQL Server will read one page only, and your query will be
two times faster than in the first example.
So the proper fields order in the table definition is very
important thing for storage and query optimization.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge"s closely followed nuptials were only the beginning. The excitement is far from over as 2011 celebrity wedding fever continues.
Petra Eccleston and James Stunt"s lavish Italian wedding
While many celebrities have tied the knot this year, no ceremony will be quite like Petra and James".
It has been revealed that the bride"s father, Formula 1 tycoon Bernie Ecclestone, will be spending upwards of £1.3 million to create the wedding of his 22-year-old daughter"s dreams.
The socialite is the youngest of his two girls with his ex Slavica, a former Armani model from Croatia, whom he was married to for 25 years until their divorce in 2009.
The engagement:
James, a businessman, who is thought to be 27, popped the question after a four-year courtship. The young lovers celebrated their engagement earlier this summer with the party of a lifetime.
And bride-to-be Petra, whose mother is a former Armani model from Croatia, enlisted none other than Rihanna to perform for their guests.
Shortly afterwards, at James" suggestion, the pair signed a complex pre-nuptial agreement, in which both of their assets would be protected in case of a future split.
The location:
Castello Odescalchi, an imposing castle, which was built in the15th century just outside Rome, will host the sumptuous reception when they tie the knot in a matter of days.
Overlooking the southern shore of Lake Bracciano, the mansion has been frequented by popes, kings and aristocracy throughout its history.
In recent years, the bluebloods and statesmen have given way to celebrities like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes who became man and wife there in 2006.
Bernie is reported to have spent £310,000 to secure the exclusive venue and accomodation for all the lucky guests.
Odescalchi has also agreed to put on a £40,000 fireworks display at the end of the evening.
The star-studded reception:
When Rhianna serenaded the couple in honour of their engagement, the F1 chief set the bar high for the wedding itself.
The billionare certainly will not disappoint – both Eric Clapton and The Black Eyed Peas have been booked for the rocking post-nuptials party.
Eric, who rarely performs live, is a close friend of the family and will play as Petra and James share their first dance.
A friend of the bride has said: "Petra is Bernies little girl. He"ll do anything to make her happy and she wants a wedding to leave her society chums green with envy…[she] had her heart set on Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas and used her connections."
The couple"s new home:
While Petra owns a £56-million home in Chelsea, she recently revealed she would like to move to Los Angeles after buying America"s most expensive house.
The "nearlywed" spent £85-million on the former home of TV mogul Aaron Spelling – equipped with 193 rooms, a tennis court and pool.
Petra hopes to relocate to California where she can pursue a career in handbag design and begin her life with James.

The Lakers were down by seven points midway through the fourth quarter, but Kobe Bryant took over the game. Bryant scored 18 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter. He made all nine of his free throw attempts, including six in the final 30 seconds. He also had the rebound on a missed free throw in the game's waning seconds.
Trevor Ariza had the play of the night. The Lakers were nursing a two-point lead with 30 seconds left, and Phil Jackson put Ariza back in the game for his defense. Great call. Ariza stepped in front of Chauncey Billups and stole Anthony Carter's inbounds pass. On that possession, Kobe Bryant was fouled and made both of his free throws with 10 seconds left to give the Lakers a 103-99 lead.

Member Marilyn Raff joined by several other CMC friends recalls a brilliant hike filled with native plants, high-mountain wildlife and impressive mountain peaks. Raff is the author of 4 books, her most recent is a poetry collection called: In the Palm of the Land, all available through Amazon.
On August 11, a sizzling hot day in Denver, I, along with five club members, Lori Giesecke, Joan Schwarz, Gesa Robeson, Sally Boyson, and Dawn Mitchell, headed up to cooler terrain, several miles past Breckenridge. We met early at the Stegosaurus parking lot, off I-70, to carpool to the mountains and catch gentians and other wildflowers in bloom. Dawn created these unhikes several years back for hikers wishing less vigorous treks, with minimal walking. But still, we all wished to see lush flowers and impressive scenery.
As one of two drivers, in a rather old 1999 Toyota, I followed Dawn up to 11,100 feet, as she weaved up several rocky dirt roads. My heart melted as I viewed fireweed, in blazing reddish purple, along the roadside; it brought back fond memories of when I gardened day and night on my small plot of land.
Several miles out of town, Dawn found wide-open flat space for parking, as well as good rocks for leaning on with the puffy cushions she brought along. She hauled lawn chairs up here, too, for those of us who wanted near-total comfort. As our bodies begged for food and a chilled drink, some people started eating their sack lunches, while others roamed hungrily for wildflowers—a peachy time for all! I wandered along and soon chatted with a man from New Mexico, a former Coloradan, who called the area we stood on, "Upper Blue Lake."
Mountain peaks, lakes, trickling waterfalls and hordes of verdant trees and plants surrounded us, in spite of the destruction caused by the Mountain Pine Beetle.
On our wanderings, we saw dozens of high mountain plants, as we called to each other to name these eye-catching gems. We viewed monkshood, darling blue chiming bells, as well as wild roses. Various gentians welcomed us, such as Gentiana algida, G. cruciata, G.parryi, and Gentianella amarella var. acuta. Silvery pussytoes clung to rocks, while I smiled when bunches of campanulas stood at my feet. In my home garden I always loved to grow various forms of silenes, and among the rocks, at 11,000 feet, I encountered what I think was Silene alba. Naturally many sedums and king's crown caught my eye; anemones, too, looked breathtaking under the warm sun.
However, aside from the beautiful hillsides and native plants in their natural habitats, all of us joyfully cheered when we saw wildlife! In particular, a family of seven mountain goats and a yellow-bellied marmot, also known as a ground squirrel, came across our paths. The mountain goats, three nannies and four kids, slowly walked the pebbled land, ignorant of us and other hikers who carefully observed them at a safe distance. Although, once, one hiker slowly approached the goats and a nanny, momentarily, stomped and scratched her hoof on the ground, as a warning, she's out to protect her kids, so stay back! After a short stop at Georgetown for ice cream, we soon arrived at the parking lot, said our fond good-byes, and looked forward to more plant (and animal) excursions, along with a good dose of friendly visiting, next year!

The '67 Colorado McKinley Team Leader to Speak at the Boulder Group Dinner
Howard Snyder, author of The Hall of the Mountain King |
An important figure in Colorado mountaineering history, Howard Snyder, will speak this year at the annual Boulder Group dinner November 6th. The former CMC member and trip leader led the 1967 Colorado McKinley Expedition (as Denali was called then). They were forced by the U.S. National Park Service to combine with a group from Seattle for the climb, with fatal consequences. The disastrous expedition, one of the most controversial in North American mountaineering history, was chronicled in the 2007 book Forever on the Mountain by James Tabor, and in Howard's own 1973 book, The Hall of the Mountain King.
Tickets for the dinner are $11 per person in advance when purchased online, and $15 at the door. Everyone is asked to bring a dish serving at least five.

Hello Niek
congratulations for your 300th post on TN.
Come sempre è uno scatto di gran qualità con cui ci mostri sempre in modo quasi poetico questi bellissimi paesaggi costieri. Molto bello il movimento fluido che sei riuscito a dare alle onde che diventano quasi fumo impalpabile nell'infrangersi sulla riva. Ottimi dettagli e gestione della luce.

Hi Niek,
Congrats that you reached your 300th posting on TN!
Wonderful perspective you captured. But it would be nice if i could see the blue sky more balanced in the frame.
TFS and cheers,

Congratulations on reaching this milestone of 300 on TN Niek!
Thank you for your kind words on completing my third anniversary with TN!
This is a fine celebratory capture of Haystack Rock. The composition of the sea-grass covered rocks leading to the sea is great and the perspective is great.
The mistiness of the sea caused by the slow shutterspeed is very effective here though I don't usually like the steamy effect that slow shutterspeeds cause on running or moving water. here there is just wetness and haziness, which is great.
Thanks again and best regards,

Hi Niek,
My best regards to you on your 300th contribution! As always, also a great shot this time. the colorrs are superb and well defined. The sharpness and POV is wonderfully chosen. I like the mood in the picture.
Thanks for posting!

Hi again,
#300 huh? Well it has certainly been an interesting, educational and rewarding photographic road we've traveled these past years. Thank you for your important, reasoned, honest and calming voice on TN.
You know I love this image and think the sky/land ratio is just fine! I love the grand sweep out to the sea that the 10-20 produces. I think I like these slow shutter speed images because,like Ivan said, the water doesn't look like a steaming, bubbling witch's cauldron. It lends, instead a peaceful, ambiance to the scene. Lovely work.
Evelynn : )

Hello Niek
Congratulations on your 300th post and what a superb shot. I love the angle here and the detail is picked out very nicely. I like your chosen sky to earth ratio here as more detail can be seen in the rocks than the sky. Kind regards Helen

Congratulations on reaching 300 and thanks for this wonderful coastal view. I like the 'misty' look of the sea and the lovely low POV. A brilliant composition too and beautiful colours.
Many thanks and all the best wishes, Ulla

Hello my friend
I come back and i'm glad to see such amazing new work from you! Together with other friends (such as Ev and Paul) you've made me post a few again now :)
Firstly, congrats on your 300! I don't see any Spartans, but it's fine like this, too :))
Excellent work here with your full ND filter (and not only)! I love the effect on the water and the contrast it creates between it and the algae on the rocks. Very nice game of textures and, surely, a superb composition with mighty lead-in lines and a terrific focal point in the distance.
This photo exploits the beauties of this place and technique so well that it even managed to persuade Evelynn to buy a filter that makes water silky and smooth...and when i remember that it was she that didn't like this effect on streams ;) You really have some skills, mate!
Lovely work, again, and looking forward for more!
Bravo and TFS

Hi Niek!
Wow I didn't know that.. I saw the one at Cannon beach but never thought there were other ones with the same name.
Anyway this one's a wonderful shot, your concept for composition works well (I'm fine with rocks/sky ratio). A very nice job, TFS!
Best regards,
- PaulH (13882)
- [2009-08-12 5:03]
Hi Niek,
an interesting variation on the previous shot of this place. You have achieved your usual clarity and technical brilliance. I love the tones, exposure and light here, it is almost dreamlike without becoming too unnatural.
Now, for the composition. I for one would disagree with Bayram about the blue sky here. True, it is a very nice deep blue, but i think you were wise to compose the shot the way you did. There is little real interest in the sky, aside from it's blueness. No clouds or variation in colour. For me the composition is about the wonderful foreground. Here i wondered if you could have perhaps moved slightly round to the left, to line up that small boulder in the middle of the frame with Haystack rock in the background? Of course, you may not have been able to position yourself to do this, so ignore me if this is the case.
Finally, congratulations on contributing 300 fine images to TN. Althought the pace has decreased, the quality hasn't my friend.

The movie G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra is doing very well in the theaters and I will get to see it when it comes out on Blu-Ray. I have two lessons on two of the characters from the flick. One is Snake Eyes, and the other is Cobra Commander, both of which came out awesome. Of course I don't think that Cobra Commander is actually in the movie, but at least you have a lesson on him. My brother is absolutely fascinated with G.I.Joe and I think that is the main reason why I wanted to do a tutorial on another character from the new movie. I am going to teach you "how to draw Baroness from G.I. Joe step by step". The Baroness' real name was and still is Anastasia Cisarovna. The way she became to join forces with the Cobras is when her brother was murdered by what she thought was an American solider. Her brother's name was Eugene and he was murdered in cold blood because he found out that the medical supplies that he had donated to a cause that was taking place in Southeast Asia was being sold for money, and when he questioned the two soldiers that confronted him, he was shot down with a .45 caliber pistol. When Ana walked in all she saw was her dear brother lying on the floor dead with an American solider standing above him with a smoking .45 in his possession. After the incident she spent the rest of her life preparing for the day she would seek revenge on the individual that she thought murdered her brother. The man in question was Snake Eyes and he didn't actually kill anybody because Eugene was wearing a bullet proof vest that took the impact of the shot but before Baroness could find out that information, she had already left. She joined forces with Destro and the Cobras fighting the American Government. She became an active member of militia groups and later Baroness became a lieutenant to Cobra Commander as well as an intelligence officer for the Cobras. Her sleek look is all in black leather and she has long black hair. Even though she is a killer, she wears a pair of black framed glasses at all times. This is going to be an easy lesson to replicate because the steps are easy to follow and the instructions are simple to read. I will be back later with some other cool drawing lessons. In the mean time have fun with this tutorial on "how to draw The Baroness from G.I. Joe" step by step. Peace out guys and happy drawing.
