J.R. thanks America for their support before praising his pro partner Karina, who claims her first mirror ball trophy on the November 22 finale.
Who loves J.R. MARTINEZ as much as I do.?
I think J.R. is one of the most beautiful human beings ever. His personality makes him handsome and sexy. Will you be voting for him on Dancing With the Stars?
Answer: I love his personality and he is a great dancer..of the guys he is the best without a doubt and he told this wonderful and emotional story about this man who is a soldier and this letter to his wife...and payed tribute to all the soldiers who didn't make it home.
It was the most touching story..it's also totallly normal that there was a point in his life when he saw he was still such a young handsome man and suddenly had such severe burns on face and body that depression set in and for a while he did not want to live..it takes a real man to admit this and it takes a hero to then change his mind and say'' whatever happened even if I am scarred I want to make the best of my life and I want to inspire others...He is a guy who has my respect and who is a wonderful person...it doesn't matter about his scars, because his beauty comes from the inside..he has such a wonderful personality that one forgets the scars and the burn marks and only sees that he is a great person and apart from that a great inspiration and a great dancer who learns quickly...x

DWTS' J.R. MARTINEZ: Why Karina Smirnoff and I Deserve to Win ...
"She's creative and risky and she really deserves that," Martinez tells Us of his pro partner.
All my children spoiler.?
What do you think about this explain.
David and Tad clash over Krystal. Jesse presses Angie to be honest with him. Erica accepts Adams invitation. David presents Amanda an offer she cant refuse in exchange for her doing his devious bidding. Jesse and Frankie clear the air. Bianca and Reese make a decision about their future. Reese offers Zach her assistance. Pete spills his heart out to Colby. Bianca questions why Reese wasnt truthful with her. Amandas tactics please neither JR or David.
A Closer Look: Road Blocks
Ryan figures out where Annie is being held. Aidan violently restrains Ryan when he refuses to do things his way and stay put. Greenlee finds Ryan tied up. Aidan meets with Annie and the pair recount how they got to the place they are now. Annie takes Ryan on a dangerous wild goose chase for their daughter. Aidan goes on alert when Ryan shares his suspicions about Annie. Greenlee takes notice of Aidans strange behavior. Ryan grows more suspect of Annie, who runs into a major roadblock in her game.
The Inside Story: Hide and Seek
Taylor continues to let her guard down around Jake who gives her a private physical therapy lesson. Jake and Taylor are ecstatic when she starts to regain some feelings in her legs. Frankie and Brot (J.r. martinez) have an emotional confrontation. Jake and Taylors bond grows as he pushes her to her limits. Brots heart breaks as he spies Jake and Taylors closeness. Frankie struggles with whether or not to tell Taylor the truth. Colby discovers an injured Brot. Jake plans a romantic surprise for Taylor.
What to Watch
Look for "All My Children" creator Agnes Nixon to make a special appearance as a helpful ghost from Pine Valleys past on the 10,000th episode of the ABC daytime drama on Wednesday, November 12.
SON ALERTS: WEEK OF NOVEMBER 17, 2008
Monday: Annies scheme spins out of her control. Brot witnesses Jake and Taylor closeness. David and Amanda plot against JR.
Tuesday: Ryan and Annie are in a race against time in their search for Emma. Colby urges Brot to let Taylor know hes alive. Amanda invokes memories of Babe in her efforts to manipulate JR.
Wednesday: Ryan grows certain that Annies been up to no good. Adam enlists Pete to spy on Erica for him. Colby offers to let Brot hide out at the mansion.
Thursday: Bianca reaches out to Reeses parents. Amandas latest stunt pushes JR over the edge. Krystal turns to David for comfort.
Friday: Ryan confronts Annie with his suspicions. David refuses to let Amanda out of the deal they made. Greenlee clashes with Erica at Fusion.
Answer: Most of it I'm cool with except for the Aidan thing. Why is it that soap writers can't seem to make a character interesting unless them make him/her bad? I've always liked Aidan and respected his integrity. Unfortunately, once again, the writers have decided that integrity is a thing of the past. Wonder who raised *them*.

Dancing With the Stars Cast: Who Is J.R. MARTINEZ?
Martinez actually started his working career in the Army, enlisting in September 2002 and gaining skills as an 11-B Infantryman. Six months after enlisting, he was ...
J.R. MARTINEZ: A hero in life, on the dance floor
When the Dancing With the Stars cast for Season 13 was announced in August, the name J.r. martinez hardly registered a blip on the national radar.
Who is the all-time best black baseball pitcher? Im thinking Gibson...Pedro Martinez is also very good but
his name sounds Hispanic...I shudder to think how good J. R. Richard might have been if he hadnt had the stroke.
Answer: We can't count Satchell Paige, since he pitched in the Negro Leagues and rarely had to face white hitters, so we really have no criteria by which to base any analysis of him.
Of the ones we can analyze, I've been watching baseball since 1966, so I've seen quite a few.
Without a doubt, Bob Gibson was the best. He was intimidating on the mound. He was the one guy that NOBODY wanted to face.
Ferguson Jenkins was great (He's from Canada). He is underrated due to winning most of his games for the Cubs. He and Gibson were workhorses when the word workhorse meant something.
Dave Stewart was excellent, once he got his career together. You can thank Dave Duncan for that.
I never saw him but, Don Newcombe is often mentioned in this kind of discussion. However, he only had 2 20-win seasons and won just 146 games in a 10-year career. I really think that he ranks well below Gibson and Jenkins. However, some of his early season were spent in the Negro Leagues so, therefore, we have no base for comparison.
We'll never know how great J.R. Richard would have been. He was excellent for the time he was well. He could have been another Nolan Ryan in the K category. He had problems with walks early in his career, but was getting better before his stroke.
Jim "Mudcat" Grant was another good one in the 60s and 70s. He also set the tone for Dennis Eckersley, as he became a reliever for the As, Cards & Pirates after his starting days were done.
Earl Wilson was good for the Red Sox & the Tigers in the 60s. He was also a good-hitting pitcher who nailed 35 HR in his career.
A pretty good pitcher for the 60s Pirates was Bob Veale. He was a left hander who got a lot of Ks. He won 16= several years in a row. His major drawback was a high rate of BBs. Had he been with a better team, say the Cards, he might have been a multiple 20 game winner.
Al Downing was a good pitcher for the NYY, who later won 20 for the Dodgers, and is most famous for giving up Hank Aaron's record breaking #715.
On the whole, I would rate them as follows:
1) Bob Gibson
2) Ferguson Jenkins
3) J.R. Richard (based on what he showed in his limited career)
4) Don Newcombe
5) Jim "Mudcat" Grant
6) Bob Veale
7) Earl Wilson
8) Vida Blue
9) Al Downing
10) Dave Stewart
11) Dwight Gooden
I wouldn't count Pedro, even if he was not Hispanic. Pedro would not be able to do what those listed above did. He has never been much more than a 6 inning pitcher. Great for the first 100 pitches, trashed after that. In the heyday of the men above, Pedro would be a 4th starter or long reliever.
