| I just realized that we will be starting rehearsals for Merchant in a little over three weeks. ZOMG!!
This is the website for the company, Butterfield 8; all the scoop about us is there. The events page still shows last season, but the new season will be up soon. Bookmark it and check back, particularly you Bay Area folks, or folks planning on travelling to the Bay Area! | Manifestations:Work some Magic   |

| Seriously, DeKalb County Watershed. Get on it. Now. Quit updating with more info about what happened, and fix the shit. I don't know about everyone else, but my hair has gotten too oily to put up in a bun.

| I spotted this over on ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) sfwriters:
The group can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jewishSpecFic/ . Our one-line description: Jewish Speculative Fiction Writers is for writers who are interested in working on fiction at the intersection of speculative fiction and Jewish themes. A LiveJournal Community for the same purpose is at </a></b></a>jewishspecfic.
If I haven't mentioned it before, my main SF setting has a strong Jewish thread, because one of the scientists most involved with creating (accidentally) the first stardrive was Jewish. So he got to contribute a lot of the vocabulary, which makes things interesting. Also the Jews settled at least one colony planet that I know of; I don't have a finished story of it, but I do have a few scene sketches. Thus, I like to keep an eye on Jewish SF. | | Manifestations:Work some Magic |

| Among my favorite companies is The Ginger People. Here you'll find products, news, health tips, recipes, a store locater, and other goodies.
The Original Ginger Chews are a favorite candy -- soft as a tootsie roll, but with a fiery golden flavor. Even if your teeth are bad you can enjoy these, just suck instead of chewing. They are quite hot. Other soft candy flavors, and hard candies, are also available.
The Baker's Cut Crystallized Ginger Chips are tiny little bits of candied ginger intended for baking. This is what went into yesterday's blueberry-ginger crumble.
Ginger can soothe such complaints as nausea, indigestion, menstrual cramps, and certain types of inflammation. It is a warming herb that encourages circulation and weight loss.
As a spice, ginger is not the cheapest but for most people a little bit goes a very long way. Powdered ginger has a subtle warmth and isn't horribly expensive. It's good in cookies, cakes, pies, sauces, soups, poultry, ham, etc. Usually it's added by the teaspoon or less, in combination with other spices. Fresh ginger root is priced similar to other fresh vegetables, and is very hot. A tablespoon or two of this in a whole pot of beans will pep them up nicely. It is also a meat tenderizer, so it's great in marinades. Candied ginger is very hot and sweet, also pretty costly; mincing it fine makes it go farther and reduces the "yow!" effect. It's best in cookies, cakes, pies, and other baked desserts. Add it a teaspoon at a time to taste, or by the tablespoon if you love ginger and have plenty.
Me, I eat whole candied ginger out of the bag, when I can get it. Other types of hot spice, I have to be careful with, but my tolerance for ginger is very high. High enough that I like Jamaican brands of ginger beer; I know I'm onto something good if the clerk looks at my fair skin and tries to talk me out of buying it. As I always say, "Good ginger beer leaves a pleasant warmth in your mouth and a tingle on your tongue. Great ginger beer atomizes your gullet on the way down!" | | Manifestations:Work some Magic |
| Holy allergic reactions batman. I am totally feeling high today. Brain fog, my mind is taking longer to process objects. The time I was stung my three bees at once wasn't this bad.
Last night all I did was sleep. I probably was only awake for a few hours at home.
Everything is super surreal. Kinda like floating on a cloud. Add to that some of my co-workers act like they hardly can function and my day is really bizarre.
My ass is going to be kicked for a few days. Don't expect much in the way of coherency. :)
::edit:: I've been taking Benadryl to help with the symptoms. My God..I've never looked up information on that before. If you take enough of it Benadryl can actually cause hallucinations strong enough that one cannot distinguish reality at all. Man. No wonder I feel so messed up today. | | Manifestations:Work some Magic |

| Hey everyone,
I had a question about Xbox live, and I looked all over the internet but couldn't find any current info (only info from 2 or 3 years ago) and I wanted to see if maybe a policy was updated or anything like that.
I recently created an Xbox live account under a different name than what I had been playing on offline. In my excitement in finding that I could actually connect, I bought some points and downloaded my Mass Effect add on. Problem is, it was under the wrong profile, and I was wondering if there was a way to transfer it to the profile that has all of my achievements and save points for Mass Effect and everything.
From what I could find out, it just kinda looks like I'm screwed, but I just wanted to check here first, because I know you guys would be able to help me out if there is a way.
Also, if you can't help me out, anyone recommend any other games like Mass Effect? I'm on my second play through, and I'm loving it!
EDIT: Just to be clear, I only want to transfer the Mass Effect add-on to the other profile with my saved game on it. I don't really care about transferring the points or anything, since I can buy other stuff with that. | | Manifestations:1 reality manifested or Work some Magic |

| Pet rabbit credited with saving couple from fire
Wed Jul 23, 8:51 PM ET
MELBOURNE, Australia - A pet rabbit is credited with saving a couple from a fire that swept through their home in the southern city of Melbourne.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade commander Mick Swift said the husband returned home from a night shift early Thursday and heard the family pet, named "Rabbit," scratching at the couple's bedroom door half an hour after he had gone to bed.
Swift said the husband, whose identity has not been released, discovered a fire in a back room and smoke spreading quickly through the house. He was able to escape the house with his wife unharmed.
Swift said the rabbit saved the couple from injury.
He said the blaze caused substantial damage to the house before it was extinguished by four crews of firefighters. | | Manifestations:Work some Magic |

| Honey was giving Mom and I something of a scare yesterday evening. Normally her behavior is either sleep on a favorite spot or roll around and meow loudly until someone pets her. Yesterday she was restless but not keen on moving much, was in and out from the deck, moving like she was sore, and most notably NOT purring when petted. Her meows for attention were much more subdued but constant, and I was getting worried that she was having some sudden failure.
She ended up perched on one of her sunning spots, on top of mom's dresser. An hour later I went in to pet her and she was alert and purring happily. Since then it's been like nothing happened. (She also had a vet visit last week and no medical issues were found.)
At least she's fine now. | | Manifestations:3 realities manifested or Work some Magic |
| I was just wondering if anyone else has played the DS game The World Ends With You, because I'm currently playing through it and I have a question. Right now I'm on the 6th day, and by the rate its going, it doesn't look like all the questions will be answered and solutions found in just two days. Is there a sequel or something like that?
Anyway besides that, the game is great so far, and so addictive. Square Enix did a fantastic job ^^. | | Manifestations:5 realities manifested or Work some Magic |
