Angry Ward Wednesday: Yanks, Mets, MLB Hot Stove, Hotter Cheese & West Coast Ballin’

NEW YORK, NY – I wasn’t expecting to write today, but when my all-star replacement West Coast Craig lost his Grandma to that Big Brunswick in the Sky (apparently she was an avid bowler), I was more than happy to take my usual turn. Craig, it goes without saying that all of us here at MTM hope she’s throwing beer frame strikes for eternity. In the meantime, there’s plenty of recent Hot Stove baseball action to talk about, as well as other stuff. Let’s get to it.

Winter Meetings. Baseball’s winter meetings (it’s not even winter yet!) ended a week ago in Nashville with a collective zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Seriously, the thing played out like a Canasta tournament at a seniors center. But since then, things have been getting pretty interesting. Zack Greinke signed for six years and gobs of money with the Dodgers, where the disinterested fans should keep him from getting the heebie jeebies. Michael Young joined the Phils and James Shields left TB for KC, which may actually be an upgrade for him. But not everyone’s wheeling and dealing like crazy…

Sandy and Cash. The Mets and Yanks were the walking dead at the winter meetings… The Yankees did manage to bring back golden oldies Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera for at least one more year while also re-signing Hiroki Kuroda in the event either of them needs an organ donor, but were fairly quiet otherwise. Even more interesting are reports that Bombers GM Brian Cashman is no longer allowed to take so much as a leak without getting Randy Levine’s OK. His current status with the club seems eerily familiar to George Costanza’s tenure with Play Now. But, wait just a second… Kevin Youkilis has agreed to a one-year deal with the Yanks. And that sound you heard was Cookie’s head exploding… Meanwhile, it’s no business as usual for Sandy Alderson and the Mets. Sure they locked up Wright, but what about R.A. Dickey? How long can you dangle the poor guy as trade bait. He was the only one putting any asses in the seats at Shea Shack last year and they should find a way to bring him back. Nuff said. If they are having trouble coming up with the money, we have a solution…

Cheesy Bruin

The Cheeseman. Not sure how many of you have been getting to this site on Sundays but our own Cheesy Bruin has been knocking ’em dead with his NFL picks. The guy is absolutely on fire. In fact, if he took his own advice and stopped picking an “over” each weekend his winning percentage would be like .875 or something. He went three for four against the spread again this past weekend losing only with, you guessed it, an over. I would take CB’s picks over every single so-called “professional” picking for the local papers and websites. The guy knows his stuff and degenerate gamblers everywhere need to be alerted. If I had any disposable income of any kind, I wouldn’t be wasting it going to see The Rolling Stones, I’d be flying Mr. Bruin out to Vegas and looking to make a real killing the last few weeks of the season.

The NBA? I hate the NBA, don’t I? Well, not as much is listening to updates from the NHL on cancelled games. Just cancel the f*cking season already, put us out of our collective misery and shut the f*ck up, all of you. In the meantime, amazingly, my favorite lousy NBA team isn’t so lousy right now. The Golden State Warriors are 14-7 and just a half game out of first in the Pacific. That’s 5 games better than the Lakersfer crissakes!!! I admit, I’ve been taking notice and have watched a few games.

Lakers are “tailing” Golden State & their cheerleaders.

Funny, but I knew I would have more than just a passing interest after I read this scathing “opposing scout’s take” on the Warriors in Sports Illustrated’s NBA preview. It’s insane, right? Did Chris Mullin give this guy anal warts once upon a time? Anyway, I hope Golden State keeps sticking it to whoever that scout was.

In the meantime stick around here for Cam James tomorrow.

About the Author ()

Wednesday: Angry Ward, who has admirers at the NY Times, is the quintessential angry sports fan but one exception... he's flat-out funny. And the angrier he gets, the more amusing his work becomes. Psychiatrists say, "Angry Ward's 'anger' is a direct result of "Bronx/Mets syndrome: growing up in the Bronx as a Mets fan." As if that weren't enough, his Minnesota North Stars abandoned him for Dallas, forcing him to embrace The Wild the way conservatives embrace Mitt Romney. While the Vikings tease him incessantly with flirtations of success, the Golden State Warriors, "Don't have a enough short, white angry guys but I don't dislike them... that much." A-Dubya is MTM's longest-tenured indentured servant, its Larry David and quite simply, The Franchise.
  • Nick Erbocker

    You guys are late! The NBA got a whole lot better with the Knicks and Nets playing the way they are. That was an exciting game last night. But it’s weird to see players going over and shaking hands with Jay Z after the game.

    • Sorry, Mr. Erbocker, we were indeed tardy… These damned auto-publish didn’t get inputted properly! But like the NBA, you didn’t miss anything before the hour of 8…

  • Watching Golden State, games?? You should feel dirty. May I remind you that no sports team has ever won when they were not name after a city or state. Think about that AW. They are not even called California Warriors, but a nickname for the the State.

    • AngryWard

      Thanks for the reminder but the Golden State Warriors won an NBA Championship as the Golden State Warriors in 1975.

      • Ok maybe I exaggerated but IT is going on 8 years since NE last won and AW, I was a 3 year old big headed baby when Golden State last won, so that outta tell you how rare that is.

        • Exaggeration and contrived facts/stats here?! This is an outrage!

      • Oh, snap!

    • AZ2FLA

      I’m still trying to find the state of New England according to your theory….

    • AZ2FLA just popped your bubble, Junoir. Shoot the boot.

  • I had such WEIRD dreams last night…. I woke up and all groggy walked a few steps outta bed and had forgotten about the Youk deal. I then remembered and hence.. another day is RUINED.

    Diff and Mrs. Matt pointed out the silver lining to this deal tho… if anyone is more pissed about this deal.. it’s Red Sox fans. bosoxbruins… i need you to weigh in here on this deal.

  • DannyBax@

    Is that a Dale Hunter shirt AND a Cowboys star??? That is douchey! haha

    • Cheesy Bruin has AWFUL taste is his sports teams. As do Cookie, Angry Ward, Grote2DMax, West Coast Craig and The Public Professor. The ONLY teams to root for are:
      1) NY Giants
      2) NY Mets
      3) NY Rangers
      4) NY Knicks

      • Cam_James

        and the Cardinals, Blues and Rams!

    • Hey Bax, that pix of me is Short Matts abuse of power as he knows how much I loathe that mother ****er Dale Hunter. Terry O’Reilly is the name on the back of my Bruins shirt.

  • Cam_James

    Wake me up when spring training starts….

  • Tall Matt

    NOW Mick Taylor is playing with the Stones on 13th & 15th? Not the show I went to? Too much hotell and per diem between the 8th & the 13th I guess. I’m madder than a gay rooster in a hen house%$(@!#(!#&#!@!!!

    • Grote2Dmax

      I just sold my tickets for Saturday because I couldn’t stomach paying $500. I might try to go on the cheap if I can get tickets. Any interest in giving away the kids 2013 Christmas money as well?

      • Cam_James

        why not just give away the kids?

    • You can’t be mad and gay at the same time! Wait… A-Dubya?

  • Tall Matt

    Oh and hi Ward! Nice column. Nice Knicks win last night. Condolences to WCC 🙁

  • We should invest in CB and collect dividends.

  • Dude

    Could the contributors to this site (aside from tall matt) please stop collectively hating on the national basketball association? ward the warriors? really? why on earth would you root for that team? great win for the knicks last night crushing the nets in BK. i attended a nets game last week to see what the new arena is all about and i can conclude they are still the NETS. it is impossible to root for a team that has kris kardashian on the roster. i saw ONE net fan in attendance who was wearing a vintage drazen petrovich jersey and he was the only one. the rest of their “fans” are transplants from iowa or tennessee who like to say they are from brooklyn because they’ve lived there for all of six months, and like the color scheme of their flatbilled caps. true ny’ers root for the knicks- the one team that unites the whole city. soon the nfl will be over and you all will start noticing. be ahead of the curve.

    • Cam_James

      When the National Bore me Association gets to the playoffs i will stop hating until then this transplant from Missourah hates the NBA and I especially hate every player who wears cardigans and glasses with no lenses.

      • The NBA season is long and boring at times but at least it stops at 82 and not 162!!

    • AngryWard

      Tall Matt is a contributor?

      • Tall Matt

        GImme my money back!

    • Sam’s-A-Knicks-Fan-Always!

      I hope that there is room in my new religion (Yimnastics was it?) for me to honor if not worship the Dude! He speaks it like he feels it and he is righteous! I bought a minority share of a season plan for the Nets to help out some of my colleagues who are legitimate Brooklynites, but Knicks fans as is only right, and I went to the game against Milwaukee Sunday night. As the Dude says, same old Nets! I bought in because I wanted to see real live basketball again and I’ll be damned if I’m going to give James Dolan a penny of my money.

      • Hold the phone, Dude! We happen to be fan of Los Knicks! They’ve just been unwatchable for 10 of the past 12 seasons. We watched last night’s game and actually had neighbors wondering what all the yelling was about…

        • Dude

          that’s the spirit!

      • Dude

        wow! thanks sam… but i but a man same as you. do not worship false idols!

        • Tall Matt

          Rasheed is top ten list for douches in NBA, JR Smith is a chucker and it will come back to bite us. Carmelo is a douche too though not top ten and Dolan is the devil incarnate. McLovin the Knicks anyway and despite it all. What a J Kidd shot at the end OMG. Thus ends my contributions for now.

          • Dude

            ‘sheed is awesome. i can name dozens of douchier players than him, yeah he gets too many technicals but you cant doubt his heart. smith seems to have his chucking under control this season, no doubt due to having kidd on the roster. and the team will be less reliant on him once amare comes back. dolan is the devil, but at least he spends money… as opposed to the wilpons who are nice guys but cheap and clueless. carmelo is playing inspired ball and is on a mission this year. team just needs to stay healthy. but then again are down 2 starters already and doing pretty well… time will tell

          • Sam’s-A-Knicks-Fan-Always

            Ball don’t lie!

  • Grote2Dmax

    Let’s get the Cheeseman to Vegas, stat.

    • AngryWard

      Exactly. Use your $500 for something like that.

  • Johnny Rox

    The New York Yankees sign a Jewish baseball player, with a great glove, and an uncanny ability to get on base and Yankee fans are upset???

    AND we get to see Red Sawx Fans lose it?
    What’s NOT to love???

    I’m even more thrilled about possibly re-signing Ichiro!!!

    Sad to see R.A. Dickey have to go through this Sh*t with the Mets! Not blaming the Mets, it’s just a shitty part of the business of baseball! He’s a great guy, with a lot to offer whoever he plays for! Hopefully it works out that they keep him, or get a TON for him!!!

    I never talk hoops here, as nobody really cares about it, but watching the Knicks has finally gotten VERY exciting! As if that weren’t enough, the Nets have also put together a very good team! Last nights game was INCREDIBLE! I’m VERY curious to see how the Knicks respond to having Amare back in the lineup! If they can stay healthy during the very long season it should be interesting! We’ll see!

    • AngryWard

      I doubt they’ll get what they want for Dickey in a trade so they would be better served coming to some sort of agreement with him, say three years at $10 to $12 million per. It’s getting ugly though and he’s a fan fave. Nothing ever comes easy for the Mets.

  • Diff

    Fine, dude. I’ll watch ONE Knicks game to see if it sticks.

    • Dude

      all i can ask…

  • You Suck

    J.R. Smith had tights on and looked stupid. Was he hiding new tats? And the game sucked for most of the first half because the Knicks were getting blown out. Thats why the NBA sucks.

  • SentFromMyBlackberryWireless
    • AngryWard

      What did they expect? He had to get back to livin’ la vida loca sooner or later.

      • What? He’s ‘RICK’ now? As in following in the ‘Ricky’ to ‘Rick’ footsteps of a one, Ricky Schroder? PUH-LEASE.

  • vinny from brooklyn

    looks like mets might keep dickey. this is from the post. nice asses on the cheer leaders. keep those coming.

  • Ward, thanks for throwing me a bouquet of roses. The check is in the mail fella! Didn’t have a shred of doubt on the Pats Monday night. I got Johnny Unda on speed dial this year. Are my picks funding the MTM holiday party given by The Bald One?

  • Sam’s-A-Sot

    Ward, I was thinking of you at lunch today when I got taken to the new Char #4 spot in Manhattan, it’s called May something, and I was encouraged to splurge and get a ridiculously expensive glass of the Hirsch Reserve 16 year old. I was thinking of Clancy too, Yim be praised, as the pulled pork sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had. Afterwards we hit the bar at Nomad and the Pappy 23 was flowing! To quote Ice Cube, it was a very good day!

    • AngryWard

      It goes without saying that I’m insanely jealous. Yours in Yim, AW.

Woman walks down street in thong and body paint. No one notices
Does my bum look big in this? (Picture: YouTube)

What have you got to do to get some attention around here?

You would think going out in public wearing only a thong would do it, but sadly not, as one girl found out in this video clip.

Admittedly, she is ‘wearing’ a pair of jeans drawn on with body paint over the thong. They were pretty realistic – perhaps too realistic.

As she walks down a packed shopping street, she fails to garner much more than the odd double take from busy shoppers.

After a few more laps of the area, someone finally takes pity on her and asks for a selfie.

Good lad (Picture: YouTube)

Sorry love, maybe just try a fail-safe mini skirt next time round.

Wouldn’t Matt Holliday Solve A Few Problems For The Mets?

An article by posted on November 3, 2008

The Mets need an everyday leftfielder…

The Mets need a reliable right handed bat to balance the lineup…

The Mets need a disciplined and patient hitter in the lineup…

The Mets need someone who can hit in the clutch in their lineup…

Only one player can solve all of these problems and is definitely available, his name is Matt Holliday.

Holliday would be a perfect fit on this team and would fix so many things that are wrong with the Mets. He is currently ranked number one among all left fielders, is only 28 years old, and comes with a solid reputation for being a gamer, a leader on and off the field, and a feared slugger at the plate.

Last season, Holliday batted .321 with 25 homeruns, 88 RBI, 28 stolen bases and 107 runs scored.

In 2007, he batted a league leading .344 with 36 homeruns, 136 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 120 runs scored.

Clearly, he would be an offensive juggernaut in the lineup. Holliday would fit in nicely as the number three hitter on the Mets… and a perfect number three hitter at that. In the last two season, he owns a .410 on-base percentage and a .982 OPS.

So what would adding Holliday cost the Mets?

Obviously, he won’t come cheap, but considering the Mets need to do something big, why not?

First of all, any trade would HAVE to include a window for Holliday to sign an extension, just as we did with Johan Santana a year ago. No window, no dice.

I believe that a package of Daniel Murphy, Jonathon Niese, Scott Schoeneweis and Eddie Kunz would get it done. The Rockies would get two major league ready players in Murphy and Schoeneweis. Murphy could eventually become a suitable replacement for Holliday, and in Niese and Kunz, the Rockies get the Mets’ best prospects at starting pitcher and closer. Schoeneweis helps fill their off season goal of acquiring a lefty specialist for their bullpen.

If the Mets were to add Holliday, and then sign Brian Fuentes to close, and Derek Lowe for the rotation, it could be the perfect solution to challenging the Phillies next season. Omar can then bolster the bullpen with a couple of new arms and get a few pitchers to compete for the number five spot in the rotation in Spring Training.

Holliday would be a good start to an ambitious and successful off season for the New York Mets.

Police: Fake Landlord Collected Thousands

NORTH MIAMI – (CBS4) – Police say Benthola “Benzoe” Sincere lied to several people who were looking to rent properties from him.

Tuesday, North Miami police announced they were on the hunt for 27-year-old Sincere for fraudulently collecting money from renters who believed they were paying their landlord. Instead, the renters who collectively gave him thousands of dollars find themselves in the streets. Each renter gave him $1,000 and they assumed they could stay there for as long as they needed to, police said.

One of those renters who finds himself on the street is George Noriston, who was with his three-year-old.

“We’ve got nowhere to go. What are we going to do?” Noriston said.

Another renter, Jerry Man Jean, said some people were awoken by the sounds of police banging on the door.

“I’m feeling bad as hell about this situation,” Jean said. “Some people was not even out of bed yet, next thing they know, boom it’s like a gunshot. But the next thing they know police downstairs breaking down people’s door all over telling everybody get out.”

Now, police are asking others who might have been victimized to come forward. Police first learned about the fraud on January 7th when officers responded to a call at King Apartment Complex at 13055 NE 6th Avenue. Several victims alleged Sincere misrepresented himself saying he was the property manager, entering into fraudulent verbal lease agreements and accepting cash deposits and payments, North Miami police said.

Police say he would change the locks in the apartments and illegally hook up their electricity.

“He meets these tenants late in the evening, he takes the cash and takes them up to an apartment that’s vacant, he changes the locks puts his own lock on the door and he also acts as though he’s a representative from FP&L and hooks up the electricity for them as well,” said North Miami Maj. Neal Cuevas who added that Sincere’s crime may have been more widespread.

Sincere faces several counts of fraud and grand theft.

North Miami Police Department is asking anyone with information on Sincere’s whereabouts or if they were victimized by him to call them at (305) 891-8111. Sincere may be driving a gold, 4-door Mercedes Benz bearing the Florida tag BEZ7G.

    Welcome to Miami where instead of living the American Dream (College, family, etc.), people come here to rob, steal, kill, commit fraud, kill the English language, milk the government, etc. Warm weather is about the only good thing about Miami these days.

  2. || says:

    I live in the area where this event occurred, and unfortunately, this kind of fraud isn’t shocking.

Sunbather Remains Hospitalized After Being Run Over By Lifeguard

HOLLYWOOD (CBSMiami) – The South Florida man run over by a lifeguard in a truck on Hollywood Beach remains hospitalized a day after the accident.

36-year-old Timothy Clingman was lying on a sand dune around the 60th block of Ocean Drive, when 63-year-old Vincent Canosa, a beach safety chief drove up over the dune and over Clingman, according to Hollywood Police.

Police said Canosa kept on going after he drove over Clingman because he was unaware of what had happened until lifeguards on the beach flagged him down.

Clingman’s injuries were said to be minor including burns from the trucks exhaust pipe and some cuts and scratches.  Yet he’s still hospitalized at Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.

Neighbors at his home in Hollywood say they rarely saw him.

Unfortunately this is not the first time this has happened on our beaches.

In April, Rindle Mizelle, a teacher from North Carolina was run over by a beach lieutenant.

“I start screaming and everything goes dark and the next thing I knew I reached up and I touched and I touched the undercarriage of the truck and it was very hot and burned my palm pretty badly,” said Mizelle.

State report says Medicaid expansion would save $430M in Medically Needy

State estimators say that expanding Medicaid, or creating a new insurance program that covers the same number of people, could save the state $430 million in general revenue funds. That is because more people would be insured and would not have to rely on Medicaid's Medically Needy program to cover emergency health care costs.

Other alternatives that cover fewer people would therefore save the state less money. Although the report didn't specifically reference House Republican's proposed alternative, it notes that a similar scenario would only reduce Medically Needy costs by $130 million.

That $300 million difference makes this analysis, first reported by Health News Florida, the latest ammunition for those who believe the state should expand Medicaid or implement Sen. Joe Negron's proposed alternative.

Jack Nicklaus drops in on Florida House

Jack nicklausThe "Golden Bear" made an appearance at the Florida House today. He spoke about raising his family and operating successful businesses in Florida and never having a green jacket of his own despite winning the Masters Tournament six times.

Jack Nicklaus, who lives in North Palm Beach, gave a short speech to the House where he praised Florida's friendly business climate and pointed out that most of his grandchildren live in Florida and attend local schools. The House gave him a standing ovation after presenting him with a resolution.

Speaker Will Weatherford then asked Nicklaus how it felt to win the Masters a record number of times, noting that the prestigious competition is currently underway in Augusta, Ga. Nicklaus responded by telling a funny story about how the jacket didn't fit him the first time he won in 1963 and that it took him 25 years to receive one that did.

Dolphins give Miami-Dade $4,784,337 check to pay for stadium referendum

Dolphins Check@PatriciaMazzei

Miami Dolphins CEO Mike Dee hand-delivered a check Friday to Miami-Dade County to cover the costs of holding a special May 14 election to ask voters to subsidize part of a $350 million renovation to Sun Life Stadium.

Total: $4,784,337. (It's the single largest check the Dolphins or the stadium has ever written, according to a team spokesman.)

The money is non-refundable -- even if Florida lawmakers fail to approve Dolphins-backed legislation by the end of the annual session on May 3, forcing the referendum to be canceled.

Miami-Dade needs prior state approval to raise the hotel-tax rate to 7 percent from 6 percent to help fund the renovation. The Dolphins, who officially launched their political campaign Thursday, have also asked for an additional $3 million state sales-tax subsidy.

Hand-written on the check's memo field is "TO KEEP MIAMI FIRST" -- the Dolphins' campaign slogan.

Tea party leader wants RPOF to 'step back' from Gov. Scott

The Republican Party of Florida's quarterly meeting takes place this weekend at the Disney Dolphin resort near Orlando, and Saturday's executive board meeting promises to be a lot livelier than usual.

Lake County Republican State Committeewoman Patricia Sullivan, who's also a leader of the local tea party movement, said she will ask RPOF chairman Lenny Curry and other party leaders to "step back" from Gov. Rick Scott and not provide financial, verbal or other support for him until after the 2014 party primary. Scott at the moment has no serious opposition for the GOP nomination.

Sullivan was an early and avid supporter of Scott, but she abandoned all support for the governor after he publicly endorsed an expansion of the Medicaid program last month. In an interview Friday, Sullivan added to her list of Scott grievances the fact that he supports the Common Core education standards, which the Republican National Committee is also considering opposing as a "one-size-fits-all" approach to classroom achievement.

"That is in complete opposition to what Rick Scott is doing," Sullivan said.

Scott has noted that 46 states have adopted the Common Core standards, which his website says were developed with input from teachers "that emphasizes analytical problem solving over memorization and simple recitation of facts."

Sullivan said she realizes it's an uphill fight to challenge the party establishment over a sitting governor's record, but added: "We have a new group who are not yes-men and yes-women. We'll have a little bit of a fight on our hands, but that's our job as men and women."

Sweeping education bill heads to Gov. Rick Scott's desk

A bill that would revamp the requirements for high-school graduation and make dramatic changes to the state university system is headed to Gov. Rick Scott's desk.

On Friday, the House voted unanimously to support a Senate bill that would create different designations for high school diplomas: one for advanced students and one for students headed directly into the workforce.

The sweeping education bill would also designate a "preeminent university" based on student performance, retention rates, research spending, national rankings and endowment size, among other factors. That university would be required to create a fully online arm.

"This is a transformational bill," House Speaker Will Weatherford said after the vote. “It’s one that will change the trajectory of the education system… To be standing here on week six and sending this bill to the governor’s desk is a big deal.”

On the K-12 side, students would no longer need to pass the algebra II end-of-course exam to graduate from high school. A passing score would only be necessary for students wishing to have a "scholar" designation added to their diploma. Those students would also have to earn two credits in a foreign language, and pass at least one college-level class.

Students could also earn a "merit" designation by earning industry certification in one or more fields.

Rep. Janet Adkins, who chairs the House K-12 education subcommittee, said the measure would help keep high-school students engaged in their studies by recognizing their diverse interests and needs.

"The whole purpose of this bill is to connect the skills of our students with the needs of our employers, and to recognize that not every student in the state of Florida is going to go to college," said Adkins, a Fernandina Beach Republican.

Adkins rejected concerns that the measure would create a "sub-class" of diplomas.

"It’s the same standard high school diploma for both of these designations," she said. "Regardless of which designation is on their diploma, [students] are going to be college ready."

Rep. Jeanette Nuñez, the Miami Republican who chairs the House higher education committee, called the university preeminence provision "a catalyst for innovation."

The preeminent university would receive funding to create an online learning institute, expand its entrepreneurs-in-residence program, and institute a master's degree in cloud computing.

"We’re going to have highly recognized preeminent universities and we are going to have a high recognized online university," said Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami.

Last year, Scott vetoed legislation that would have allowed "preeminent" state research universities to raise tuition and fees at differentiated rates each academic year. Nuñez has said she expects this year's version to become law because it doesn't have that provision.

Gov. Rick Scott honors Tim Tebow as a 'Great Floridian'

He may be just a benchwarmer on the mediocre New York Jets, and Monday-morning quarterbacks endlessly criticize his throwing mechanics. But to Gov. Rick Scott, football star Tim Tebow is "an inspiration" who's fully deserving to be the 67th person ever bestowed with the high honor of a "Great Floridian."

The governor planned to present the award Friday afternoon to Tebow, a former Florida Gator star, in a ceremony at the Clubhouse at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, the city where Tebow's high school gridiron heroics made him a national sensation. (For this photo opportunity, one wonders, who's the greater beneficiary, Tebow or the re-election minded governor?)

Speaking to reporters Friday in Broward, Scott explained why he nominated the 25-year-old Tebow for the award: "Tim Tebow is a great Floridian. If you look at what he's done, he's inspired young children to stay in school, to do well in school, to live a great life. He's an inspiration."

Great Floridians are chosen by the Secretary of State Ken Detzner from a nominating committee that also included Scott, three Cabinet members, the Senate president and House speaker.

Recent award winners have included retired FSU football coach Bobby Bowden, former Gov. Jeb Bush, inventor Thomas Edison (of Fort Myers), former Sen. Bob Graham and environmental leader Nathaniel Reed. To date, 66 people have been given the honor since the award was created in 1981.

Explaining Florida's budget surplus

Florida lawmakers are doing something they haven't done in years: adding money to state programs.

The recession sent the state into multi-billion-dollar budget shortfalls that led to big cuts in education and state government payrolls.

But this year, lawmakers have money to play with. Gov. Rick Scott has proposed a budget of more than $74 billion for the fiscal year that starts in July. That's about a $4-billion increase in spending over the current year.

So where did the extra money come from?

In his State of the State address last month, Scott credited two years of cutting taxes and red tape so businesses could grow.

“Because we made the hard choices over the last two years, we are able to make the smart choices now to keep our economy growing,” Scott said. “We have a projected budget surplus for the first time in six years.”

As the House budget chief, Lakeland Republican Rep. Seth McKeel will be a key player in crafting the state budget. He began his tenure as a lawmaker in 2006, as the economy was starting its descent.

“We have had to make unfortunate reductions over the last five years in important areas like transportation, education and public safety when we didn't have enough funds,” McKeel said. “We actually had some scenarios where we had to make up (for) budget deficits.”

Of course, the reasons for this turnaround in the state's finances vary depending on who you ask.

FDLE goes on the offensive against Internet cafes

Internet cafe posterAlthough the ban on illegal gambling machines is expected to be enforced locally, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is taking the offensive distributing the following handout and poster to the Florida Sheriff’s Association, Florida Police Chiefs Association, the Association of Florida Police Attorneys and Florida State Attorney’s Offices.

The posters warn that anyone who operates or visits Internet cafes and adult arcades will be subject to criminal prosecution.

FDLE asked law enforcement to distribute the documents to the Internet cafés and similar businesses to notify owners, operators, employees, and patrons that these activities are in violation of Florida law, and could result in prosecution.  Download Internet Cafe Handout  Download Internet Cafe Poster

In budget debate, House Democrats stand down

Despite promises of a showdown, there won’t be much debate Friday between Democrats and Republicans over the proposed $74.4 billion spending plan.

Democratic leaders met with Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford before Friday’s floor vote and told him that only Minority Leader Perry Thurston, D-Plantation, would debate the budget.

“That’s quite a departure,” said Weatherford, who has made including Democrats in the budgetary process one of his top priorities as Speaker. In recent years, Democrats would spend hours hashing out their differences before a vote, a contrast that Weatherford’s office wants to spotlight.

Friday’s limited debate didn’t mean Democrats necessarily will vote for the budget. But it does show how divided they are on how much the Affordable Care Act should influence their vote on the House’s budget.

Thurston said Democrats decided to limit debate to ensure that the party was delivering a unified message that opposed the budget.

“It’s the best way to talk about the budget,” he said. “We’re unified as a caucus and we’ll have one strong message going forward.”

During a Democratic caucus meeting Friday morning, Rep. Mark Pafford of West Palm Beach told party members that he personally was voting against it and they should do too, if they felt that way.

But after Republicans released a health care plan that would provide additional coverage for about 130,000 uninsured Floridians, House Democratic leaders lifted a plan to oppose the budget en masse as a 44-member bloc.

That allowed Democrats like Alan Williams of Tallahassee, who has been in close contact with Weatherford throughout session, to vote for the budget. There’s much in there for Democrats to like, such as $1 billion extra in education funding, $300 million restored to higher education, $1.2 billion more on transportation projects that will surely provide jobs in their districts.

Williams didn’t like a vote Thursday that reduced a planned raise for state employees from $1,400 across-the-board to $1,000, with a $400 bonus for merit. But he said by voting on the budget, it gave Democrats leverage on the budget for the remainder of session.

With Democrats pinning their hopes on the conferences between the House and Senate as smoothing over differences, there was just no good reason to make such a fuss Friday, said Rep. James Waldman, D-Coconut Creek.

“We looked at it and decided there is no reason to fawn all over the budget,” Waldman said Friday. “With the largest budget in the state of Florida, there’s a lot of good things here. We didn’t look at (the lack of debate) as an olive branch. We said, let’s move on and get to conference.”

Brother Ted & Dr. Helen on Speaking up

This from Dr. Helen's blog:

Speak Up!
I read with interest this good advice from Ted Nugent on speaking up in California and the rest of the country:

You don't need tough love in America, you need tougher love. Around the water cooler, at the church, at school. At the work place, at the picnic, and the bowling alley. You should be pounding the desk with your fist, raising hell, and take this beautiful state back from the pimps, and the whores, and the welfare brats, and the gang-bangers who seems to have all the rights in the world while the good people, the productive, law abiding people don't have jack squat -- and I think I am going to throw up.

So many people who do not support Barack Obama and are downright sick of the creeping socialism in our country are not speaking up. It is imperative to do so, even in small ways. The other day, I was at a drugstore and the clerk was talking to what looked like a Baby Boomer who was discussing how he voted for Obama. They both scoffed that not many in Tennessee voted for him, "what do you expect?" said the older guy, "this is Tennessee we're talking about." They both chuckled in agreement. I looked at the clerk and said in a loud voice, "So what you're saying is those of us here in Tennessee who voted for McCain are rednecks, is that right?!!!!" There were several people milling around in line at this point and the clerk turned red and stammered, "No, ma'am," and went on to give some lame explanation about what he meant. But I knew I had him. He was visibly shaken and I hope the next time he decides to diss Tennesseans while at work, he'll think twice.

Please remember that most people are cowards, if you speak up, they will often back down or stammer. Too many times, we let liberals get away with making fun of Republicans and those of us who do not agree with them politically. This needs to stop and the only way to do it is to speak up in the classrooms, public and at work. Remember that we are 56 million strong--those of us who did not vote for Obama. We are hardly alone.

Markie Marxist sez: "That's exactly how we've organized society. We certainly want our Marxist/warrior/hero/criminals to have more rights than ordinary people. After all, they're the ones who are busily ripping off capitalism and bringing down America. They're also giving us the national body count we need to drive our gun ban agenda, so they're really doing a lot to help communize America, and as such, they're really entitled to more rights than law-abiding citizens, by whom I presume Ted means gun owners. Rights? As soon as the big "O" gives the word, the G.O.'s are going to be lined up against walls and shot!
Guns themselves aren't dangerous, in fact we always need lots of them for the usual 'regime maintenance' type tasks. It's the G.O.'s that are the danger to Marxism, so the government is going to have to eliminate them for 'gun safety', because a communized America just wouldn't be safe with all those gun people still around.
As for his throwing up, Ted should see his doctor. Reflux can become a serious disorder you know."

It's good to speak out and bad to remain silent.

A simple message to be repeated.

We need to keep our methods of preserving freedom simple. Speaking out against stupidity that is being demonstrated in public is a wonderful thing...it's good to speak out.

Nintendo has mastered almost every game genre

By Michael On 9 May, 2013 At 08:21 AM | Categorized As Features | With 21 Comments

Nintendo has mastered almost every game genre

I had a random thought popped into my head while playing Fire Emblem Awakening. Not sure how the thought came into my head but it got me fascinated. So I decided to do a little snooping and my findings were interesting to say the least.

What was that thought?

Has Nintendo mastered all the game genre’s?

The answer? No, they have not mastered every game genre. But they are darn close to it.

Nintendo has got a reputation of relying on the same IP’s (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon). It is true to a certain extent but Nintendo has an impressive spread of games over many genres. Most impressive is the spread of quality games over many genre’s.

I compiled a list of games below.

  • To qualify for the list, the IP has to be owned or partially owned by Nintendo.
  • The highest game rated (metacritic) from each genre was selected.
  • I intentionally left out a few games (mainly because i can’t recall  all of the game Nintendo has produced).
  • I did not include games from the NES and SNES era.
  • I left out party and casual games because it is a given a Nintendo are good in producing these type of games.

Animal Crossing 87 Starfox 64 88
Animal Crossing: Wild Word 86 Sin and punishment 2 87
Animal Crossing Wii 75 Kid Icarus Uprising (TPS)                  83

My thoughts and notes

  • The name Mario appears many times. However it is only a Name, a figure head for Nintendo, to sell the game.
  • Although not known for their RPG’s, Ninty has a fantastic lineup of RPG’s: Super Mario Rpg, Paper Mario series, Pokemon series and Xenoblade
  •  Eternal Darkness and Fatal Frame series are listed because Nintendo has ownership or partial ownership of the IP.
  • I am unsure about the agreement between Tecmo and Nintendo on the Fatal Frame series.
  • The Metroid prime series is listed under FPS because has prominent shooter elements. Many would argue it is strictly a first person adventure. I disagree.
  • Kid Icarus could be listed as a TPS.
  • Nintendo dominates 2D platformers, 3D platformers and action adventures. It comes at no surprise, Nintendo literally pioneered these genre’s.
  • The worrying trend is that you see the same series pop its head out. Nintendo does need to invest in new IP’s

So what genre’s are missing from Ninty’s repertoire?

From the top of my head: Racing Sims  Military shooters, Open world games, Third person shooters, Interactive movies, Stealth, Action, MMORPG’s.  Most are sub-genre’s.

Did I forget any? Please let me know!

Essentially, the genre’s that are prevalent on the competition, are the genre’s Nintendo are not capable of producing games for.

Nevertheless, it is a testimony to Nintendo’s pedigree as a publisher and developer. It will be hard to find a company that can match this (in both quantity and quality). Nintendo has an unparalleled grasp on video game design, it is no wonder that they still remain relevant for over 25 years. Keep it up Ninty.

How many genre’s will Nintendo cross with the Wii U? Hopefully, a lot more than they did with the Wii.

It would be interesting to compare Sony’s, Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s spread of games over genre’s. But I won’t do that because that will cause a flame war.

What do you guys think? Are you impressed? Are you as Fascinated as I am?

About - Michael is the proud owner and Editor-in-Chief of! He has a Bachelors Degree with First Class Honors ( try to guess his Degree), and has been writing about video games for many years. His favorite Nintendo franchises include the Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros. and Pokemon. When Michael is not playing video games – he is usually outdoors riding kangaroo’s, playing cricket or sleeping (or doing all three at the same time).

  • Matthew Ashwood Downey M.a.d

    Really… some of this is a bit of a stretch to say Nintendo as games like xenoblade wasnt developed by Nintendo and was simply published i.e not first party. Interesting to compare in the same years as Sony who i feel have a far better varied genres. Nintendo maybe able to create good games for all genres but atheistically and theme they are all the same! They cant do anything aimed at 15+ and everything is just slightly better than the last one. They make fun games not immersive games. Ocarina of time was one of the only nintendo games i got fully immersed in the game world.

    overall though i am impressed in areas where you wouldnt expect nintendo to do well like sims and real time strategy. For me though its been a very long while since i felt nintendo released a game that is a must play. They are good sometimes great games but never must play for me!

    • duducus

      I find most nintendo game can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Your 15+ thing doesn’t make sense. Do you mean people who want dark themes and violence?… Because you can be mature and enjoy many of their games…

    • Mike

      monolith soft is 100% owned by nintendo therefore the games they create are 1st party

    • bluegazer6643

      Try the Mario rpg’s their very emersive and fun, I think you’d like them. Oh and I’d have to disagree on Nintendo not doing anything for ages 15+. Sure if you only like to play videogames for blood and guts, then they’re not for you but they make games that are fun for adults and children(thats why they’re so succesful). I know many adults including myself who love to play Nintendo games.

    • Mauricio Guaura

      Xenoblade is a Nintendo game. Just so you know, Nintendo BOUGHT 100% of Monolith Soft, meaning it’s a first party company…

  • Erudito De Firenze

    erm just no there is no real diversity no heavy rain esque game or any that have mature stories etc. It is a kiddy console with lots of different mario games

    • Nintendo Fan 4 Lif3

      Actually, The Legend of Zelda is highly arguably the only non-kiddie game in Nintendo’s line-up. Though adults, teens, and kids all play the series, overall the tone, atmosphere, and aesthetic of the series is beyond much of being placed in the kiddie category. though those categories also play mario games, I believe it’s because Nintendo has found that more kids obviously are drawn by Mario than Zelda, not to sound objective. So in that case Nintendo has made much more Mario games like you said, but because there is a much larger fan base for Mario games so more have been made by Nintendo. But for Zelda, you’ll find that kids are a very small percentage of the fan base for Zelda. I’m not trying to say you’re totally wrong or out of line about your position-though it seems over subjective- but depending on how you look at it Nintendo is really a console for everyone with it being mature and kiddy only because of kids’ big influence on their games, not really because of the kind of games they make which is one of the reasons why Nintendo is opting for an art style inspired by Skyward Sword for the next Zelda since many people really liked the style. Though there is no diversity from a first glance, the diversity is in the gameplay experience so even though every game Nintendo makes now seems like a rehash of the last, they’re always trying something new whether it’s breaking the fourth wall or just making it easier for people to play and enjoy the game. So really, Nintendo’s games only seem for one particular audience because of what’s on the surface, not within. Though Mario is more of a kiddy game in the industry nowadays, in super mario bros., the blocks you hit in the levels-according to a booklet or so about the game- are actually citizens of the mushroom kingdom transformed into blocks by Bowser, hence the reason something always or almost always comes out of the blocks-just to show you not every detail in Nintendo’s games are so kid friendly underneath. I know I sound like a Nintendo fan boy, but I honestly I play Sony and Microsoft’s consoles also so don’t get me wrong by me sounding bias; i’m just making a point. And also, out of all of Nintendo’s games, Zelda has to have the most mature story of their games with Pikmin in second since Pikmin and Zelda aren’t as easy to get on board as Mario or Fire Emblem. Anyway, just wanted to clear that up so you get the whole side of it. I’ll clear any of my points up or elaborate on my knowledge if needed.

        And the people who dis Mario are so annoying. They’ve never played games like Paper Mario or Mario and luigi. Those games actually have some dark storylines,its pretty cool.

    • bluegazer6643

      You havent played the games, you are assuming. Dont bother telling me you have, cause you havent.

      • Erudito De Firenze

        have you played none nintendo games?

    • Mauricio Guaura

      …Seriously? You think Heavy Rain qualifies as a good and mature game?

      • Erudito De Firenze

        i rate over all the mario clones games. My point was the console has no real diversity and this is the reason after the wii tanked(may have sold well but was lacking in games and it gathered dust) and why the wii u and such piss poor sales.

  • calvincrack

    “Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon” is Nintendo-survival horror in my mind. What with the pixel hunting and ghosts

  • MyBodyIsReady

    What a load of bollocks

    ummm no…. Metroid is great not denying it but lets be honest atleast with the original versions on Gamecube the mechanics were trash (they were infinitely better on Wii). Also in the racers category the games chosen are very similar no variety theres kart racing wave racing (similar to kart racing) but nothing like a realistic racer or something. Also in the sports category those games are not really sports games they are too arcadey to be considered that imo. What about open World games (ye theres Super Mario 64 and sunshine and stuff but they aren’t true open world of great scale). Nintendo has done very well in all categories (or most) but to say they’ve mastered them all thats a stretch!

    • Mike

      but i did not say Nintendo mastered all of them :(

      • LEGIT _ELITE

        Oh I should have phrased it better I’m not saying you are saying that but instead that for someone to say that would be incorrect imo

  • Negative Hippie

    I have to agree that this article seems to be stretching what is considered “good” to make the article’s point stronger.

    Eternal Darkness is the only good survival horror game that they are involved with; and now, they seem to have no interest in the IP, and the developer is liquidated.

    The fighting genre has three games from one franchise. Hardly mastery to make only one kind of game.

    Nintendo lacks a non-arcade racing game, and has next to no arcade-style sports games beyond the generic NES ones.

    • Mike

      I just want an insight to your opinion. What have I stretched exactly. I merely presented data and made a statement:
      “Nintendo has an impressive spread of games over many genres. Most impressive is the spread of quality games over many genre’s.”

      Besides i think many just skimped through the article. I did not claim they have mastered all the genre, but are very close to it.

    • bluegazer6643

      A Eternal Darkness sequal has been anounced for Wii U.

  • Negative Hippie

    And yes, Metroid Prime is definitely an FPA. Even the developers agree on that. It’s a game set in the first person, where you happen to be shooting, but the main point of the game is to adventure, same as Super Metroid.

    Prime 3, though, I could be fine with being called a shooter.

American composer George Gershwin has been established in the pantheon of great American composers through his compositions and operas. Few music lovers realize that Gershwin only lived a short thirty-eight years. The volume of music he created leads many to believe that he lived much longer. This recording features arrangements of some of Gershwin's most popular symphonic works and highlights many of his best-known songs. Recorded by the endlessly talented United States Army Concert Band, Gershwin contains important works like Summertime, An American in Paris, and Rhapsody in Blue. The United States Army Concert Band has a worldwide reputation for extraordinary musicianship, and this album is no exception. Colonel Thomas Rotondi, Jr. leads the band on this album, a commemorative display of some of America's favorite music. Each track is played beautifully with great attention to detail, just the way George Gershwin wrote them.

March 2010 - I'm back

This is a short comic I made at work. It's still in roughs, I want to draw the final pages soon too.

I've finally been drawing a lot and have many ideas for comics. And I've been relatively happy with what I've been making, so I'll start posting here again. I'll keep this mostly for roughs and short comics I make. I still would like feedback, even if I won't post much finished work.

I've been busy with work and applications lately and everything seems fine. It's even sunny today here in Helsinki and, after a winter of -27 celcius temperatures, it feels great.

I have been making a couple of 8page stories. And there's a lot more in my head. So, you'll be seeing more posts soon, be sure to check.

I also post on my tumblr sometimes,

Man Sits In Hot Car To Ask Parents To End Child Deaths [VIDEO]

tbartley269 via YouTube

It seems that every summer we hear stories of children being left in a hot car and end up losing their precious lives.  A man in North Carolina endures the heat to plead for the end of child deaths.

Can you imagine sitting in a hot car with the windows rolled up?  Well, it happens every year to small children.  Parents ‘forget’ that their kids are in the car and lock it up and walk away.  We have all heard the story of little Cooper.  His dad left him in the car for 9 hours in 90 degree weather.  His father Justin Ross Harris is in jail charged with felony murder and cruelty to a child in the second degree.  He says that he is innocent because he left his son in the car ‘accidentally.’

Well, Terry Bartley wanted to see what that precious baby suffered through.  So he locked himself in his car.  Check out the video below.

Subscribe to Mix 94.1 on

Bartley, a grown man, couldn’t take it.  He said that he felt himself suffocating.  Imagine a small child.  Bartley’s mission is to prevent more deaths like this from happening.  Share this video and Bartley’s message: “ to raise awareness for parents to stop leaving their kids in the car unattended.”

I know as a mother I would never even think about leaving my son in a car, even with the air conditioner on.  Stories like little Cooper break my heart!  There are so many people would love to have children and can’t and then there are parents who just don’t deserve their children.  Maybe he did forget he had his son, but I can’t imagine ever forgetting my son.

Over 17 children have died from being left in hot cars this year alone!  This is so stupid because it is easily preventable.  Let’s help Bartley with his mission and stop leaving children in hot cars!

Residents speak out about fire services levy

The Victorian Government has heard from East Gippsland residents about proposed changes to the fire services levy.

The Government has committed to replacing the insurance-based levy with a property-based levy, in response to the Bushfires Royal Commission.

The Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, says several issues were raised at yesterday's meeting.

However, he says he is confident the new model will be a fairer system.

"Hypothetically we had the situation where two houses were side by side - one of those households had insurance and was therefore contributing to the fire services levy and ultimately the CFA [Country Fire authority] and the house next door that was being afforded the same level of protection was not contributing," he said.

Girl killed, two hurt in trail bike crash

A 15-year-old girl has been killed in a trail bike collision on a dirt track in south-eastern Victoria.

Police say the girl was riding a dirt bike at Koo Wee Rup, south-east of Melbourne, about 3:30pm yesterday.

A 14-year-old girl was riding as a passenger on the back of the bike.

The girls were near Beatties Road when they collided head-on with a 22-year-old man.

The 15-year-old died at the scene.

The 14-year-old passenger has been flown to the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne in a critical condition.

Paramedics flew the 22-year-old rider to The Alfred Hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Intensive care paramedic Bryan Chesson said all the young people involved suffered head, limb and facial injuries.

"This is an absolute tragedy. It's three young people having some fun. They were on their dirt bikes," he said.

"They've come to grief with significant injury."

Police are investigating what caused the fatal crash and are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

Nokia 808 PureView - The last of the high end Symbians?

It really come down to how badly you want the 41 MP camera. Nokia's 808 PureView is here. It is very like the last high end phone you will find running the Symbian OS, which was outdated two years ago.  The 4-inch 360 x 640 AMOLED display with clear Black Technology is still not bad to look at, though most would agree that it is rather pixelated by todays standards. The single core 1.3 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM is more than enough to run Symbian Belle. But in the end, running Symbian Belle, it is really best to consider this as a very good feature phone than a high end smartphone.

The principal feature is the 41 MP autofocus camera with a 1/1.2-inch sensor, making this the kind of camera phones. The crazy high 41 MP is really more to allow you to use up to 4x digital zoom without appreciable deterioration in image quality. It has a Carl Zeiss lens, and a Xenon flash to complete its killer camera. The phone camera can also do 1080p video and do 6x zoom without appreciable loss in image quality.

Just how good is the image quality? Check out this comparison by Engadget.

In order to keep all those high resolution videos it has 16 GB of internal storage, a MicroSD card slot and USB-on-the-go, so you can offload content to a flash disk.

The price for all this is a Php24,900. So how badly do you want a killer camera and camcorder in your phone?

  1. wonder how smart will set this phone up? im ready for retention this august and i think 808 is a good successor of my n8. but a lot of good phones are coming out as well. waaaaaaaah

We’ll also finalize schedules, plan events, hire drivers and tour managers, and train personnel.

« Three reasons not to make one of these | Main | A bit of this and that »

Dagmar Leuenberger-Swift

Hello there;
These are so lovely and fun...think I might just see what fabric I have around and make a few...thank you so much for sharing

So very cute! Thank you for showing us!

Those are very cute bunny pins!

I've been a bit absent from blogging too.
Some times life just gets in the way and there's no time to blog, or then it gets so boring and humdrum that there's nothing to blog about. :)

Yeah! I missed your cute creations! Glad to hear from you!

Mama Urchin

I cannot wait until Katie and I can sit down and embroider together. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of it yet.

LynAnne Smucker

Those are totally cute. Understand how the spring cleaning can overtake the crafting. Hope the dust settles soon.

sooo cute! fantastic idea :D thanks for sharing.

Those are soooo sweet, love the bunnies :) Must get myself one of those pens too.

Mel x

georgeous pic of the bag, contents and fabbli pins, you are are so clever! I've missed your talents!

The Bunnypins are delightful and look like the perfect project to get my girlie to pick up her needle and hoop again. Nice and quick (we like quick round here).
We missed you y'know :o)

they are absolutely adorable!! I LOVE the bag too!

I love those bunny pins, so, so cute! Thanks for sharing.I've missed your blogging, its always so inspirational - I'm looking forward to more posts after Easter!

%*_*% rosey

Yay! We missed you so! Thanks for the tutorial--it's sweet!

Mummy bunny's apron is a stroke of genius!

Those turned out so cute!

What sweet bunnies they are! I was wondering about that dust cloud - I have had to fight it off here for a while as it tried to settle... I'm glad to see you back though!

welcome back...
and those little bunnies are too cute!

I keep thinking you are in America, I think because the light is always so good in the photos! Anyway, when you said about the dust cloud over England I slapped my forehead. I really like the bunnies but got drawn away towards your cushions and the fantastic colours.

Those are very cute bunny pins! I love them! Welcome back!! I'm soo happy and excited to see a post from you...miss you! Have a wonderful Easter weekend with lots of eggies and bunnies! Love to you and yours!

I've missed you postings and look forward to see more of your creativity. You are one of my favorite blogs.

The nice thing about making pins is they're relatively quick and easy to make! You feel pretty crafty after you're all done!

Love the colors in the blanket!
