dave mead photography by: dave mead | buy one Creative Kismet & Blog Archive & little guiding stars Since the new year has started I’ve been trying to think of ways to be more kind to my self. Especially when that nasty gremlins try to creep in and stump me. I remembered this origami star video on You Tube and had to get them involved in my plan. I thought it would be fun to make a whole bunch with kind words and “you are….” phrases inside. I made 60 of them, enough to last me the whole year if I open one a week, plus a few extra just in case. I used 12 x 12 inch scrapbook paper and cut 1/2 x 12″ strips, then followed the video HERE*. *UPDATE! Be Sociable, Share!
Free tix to “Hardcover Mysteries” event at LoC ‘Library of Congress Reading Room’courtesy of ‘tzk333′ To promote the launch of their new series, “Hardcover Mysteries,” this fall, Investigation Discovery is holding a cool event at the Library of Congress on Monday night, and we’ve got two tickets to give away. “Hardcover Mysteries” will feature 8 novelists, each talking about a criminal case of particular significance to them, whether it directly inspired one of their books, or it reflects themes common in their work, or affects them in some other way. On Monday night, David Baldacci, Sandra Brown, and Kathy Reichs will speak in the Library’s Thomas Jefferson Auditorium about their chosen case. Baldacci’s even has a local angle- the 1964 murder of DC socialite Mary Pinchot Meyer, who was rumored to have had an affair with President Kennedy and whose ex-husband was a CIA official. Tickets are $2.75 each, plus Ticketmaster fees (which can cost more than the tickets as you know), the doors open at 6, and the fun starts at 7.

Now all GOP Senate candidates deny global warming Christine O’Donnell, another climate denierBrad Johnson noted earlier this week that all but one of the Republican candidates for U.S. Senate “dispute the scientific consensus that the United States must act to fight global warming pollution.” Now, that lone climate realist — Delaware Rep. Mike Castle — has been knocked out. So make that all GOP candidates for U.S. Tea Party upstart Christine O’Donnell, who took out Castle to become the Republican nominee for Senate in Delaware, is right in line with her GOP colleagues on the climate issue. O’Donnell is also against masturbation, as she explains in a 1996 MTV special about a pro-abstinence campaign she was involved in. Why is she in the picture, indeed?

Pineberries: Fruit looks like white strawberry but tastes like pineapple | Daily Contributor Home » Odd + Weird 31 March 201011 Comments Posted by Sherwin A new kind of fruit that looks like a white strawberry but tastes like a pineapple is going on sale in the UK. Called pineberry, the strange-looking-variety of the popular summer fruit originated in South America where it grew wild. Pineberries will be on sale for five weeks at selected Waitrose branches. Nicki Baggott, Waitrose fruit buyer, said: ”Pineberries offer our customers the chance to add a new fruit into their diet and the berry’s bright appearance can add an unusual decoration to sweet dishes.” Pineberries are slightly smaller than the common strawberries.
