Age-appropriate shows can include hilarious magic routines, puppets and balloon twisting.
Specialising in birthday parties, family celebrations, child care and preschools.
Call Michael now on 0432 678 114 to book your next event!
What some recent parents have said about Mr Bamboozle:
"Thank u so much Michael. You made our little party stupendous, everyone thought you were brilliant. Many Thanks." Kate (Newport)
"Hi Michael, the magic show was really great, thank you for that! It's now a few days after the show and my kids are still excited about it!! One of the parents told me that her son was laughing a lot when he was asleep that night and she's never heard him doing that before, so it must be the show! It was great to see the kids respond to your show the way they did! Thanks again!!!" Melissa (Camperdown)
"Michael, thanks to you for responding so promptly and making all the arrangements so easy. The fact you kept them focused on the show is proof of the great job you did. I loved catching their expressions." Audrey (Bronte)
"Hi Michael, I wanted to say a big thank you for your magical show for Ethan's birthday. He absolutely loved it, and so did his friends. It was the talk of the school yard Monday morning.

BrilliantBy Ann on 30/09/2014 11:07:31 AM
Mr Bamboozle was fantastic. He made me feel very at ease which was one less thing to worry about when organising a 6 Year old boys party. Communication was seeamless and Daniel, my son loved it. His friends loved it. All the parents that attended commented how Michael stuck around after and kept blowing balloons, chasing the kids around. Most entertainers I have dealt with (...) Read more

Belly laughsBy Amanda on 26/08/2014 8:14:36 AM
How much I loved seeing 23, 7 year old boys belly laughing for almost 55 minutes. You did a superb job entertaining the kids and the adults. Thank you. I really do love seeing kids with side splitting laughs - and it's not often enough so thank you. The birthday boy felt so special and was very proud of his own party. I highly recommend Mr Bamboozle.
AwesomeBy bobby.lehane on 17/07/2014 9:40:17 PM
Mr Bamboozle is awesome. How else can you describe someone who can keep 30 5 year olds engaged for a whole hour! He even had the parents snorting with laughter. His pre-party preparation was professional and had my child eagerly anticipating his party. At the end of his show, Mr Bamboozle was in no rush to leave - making sure all of the kids were happy was his priority. (...) Read more
Great EntertainmentBy Annabelle on 3/06/2014 8:48:10 PM
We booked Mr Bamboozle for the entertainment at our sons 3rd birthday and it was truly amazing! The kids had an absolute ball and Mr Bamboozle had the attention of about 15 toddlers for about an hour. It was a great mix of making the birthday boy feel special on the day (by having him up on stage as little helper) as well as involving all other kids in the show to keep t (...) Read more
Excellent!By Bronwyn on 27/03/2014 3:29:26 PM
My daughter and her friends loved Mr Bamboozle! Great party enterainment and highly recommended!
GREATBy nikki.beshara on 26/03/2014 8:10:39 PM
Mr Bamboozle was fantastic, the kids were engaged and we honestly didnt hear a peep out of them. I highly recommend thie service. All the kids were talking about how great he was on their way home from the party. Caters for a wide age group.
Thank you Mr Bamboozle!By Denise on 21/03/2014 12:08:08 AM
I am so happy that we were able to have Mr Bamboozle at our daughter's 5th birthday party last week. He was very considered in his preparations before the party and he had a lovely manner on the day, which helped make Jessica feel comfortable with standing up in front of her friends to do magic, or be a magician's assistant at least! He kept all the kids entertained (and i (...) Read more
The biggest giftBy Emma on 24/02/2014 8:57:39 PM
Our son raffi and al his friends just couldn't stop laughing and calling out. they stayed entranced for almost 50 mins (amazing for 4 year olds when its not a tv!) and were completely engaged and happy. And the parents - well half got to chat and relax with no clinging children and the other half enjoyed the show. and as Papa said 'you were great and you clearly love doing (...) Read more
Stop looking, book Mr Bamboozle!By Gail on 24/02/2014 9:55:13 AM
STOP reading all those reviews and simply book Mr Bamboozle - and relax! Your child will have a birthday party to remember and be left feeling like a rock star. Mr Bamboozle is hilarious and clever, he keeps the kids (in this case about 20 boys and girls aged 5-7) totally focussed - and perplexed - for 45 mins and makes the birthday boy or girl the centre of attention.

Beacon marks 30 years of community publishing
- Written by Donna Lueke
In December of 1982 Ronald Reagan was President. Home mortgage interest rates were at 14-16%. The U.S. was just coming out of an inflationary spiral. Locally the Port Clinton Press, a free weekly newspaper that had been in business since 1975, was set to close its operations. The recession and hyper-inflation had taken its toll. It was just about that time when former local radio personality John Schaffner, along with his two partners, sold their broadcasting license for WKIQ FM Radio in Bowling Green. Schaffner was in an unusual position. He was looking for work again.
In November of 1982 Schaffner contacted the Sandusky-based owners of the Port Clinton Press about taking over as the newspaper's manager. That is when he learned of the pending closure and decided to revive the newspaper he had managed in 1977 and 1978. However, a legal dispute made it impossible to keep the name of Port Clinton Press. In a dream, Schaffner envisioned the banner for the new newspaper, and named it The Port Clinton Beacon. The 1967 Port Clinton High School graduate then went to work. He put together a staff made up of his two nephews and sister-in-law and launched the 16-page tabloid newspaper on Feb. 20, 1983. 30 years later, The Beacon is still thriving.
The 30th anniversary celebration for The Beacon was hosted by The Port Clinton Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, Feb. 7, at the 1812 Food and Spirits at The Island House in Port Clinton. The 5th and 25th anniversary celebrations of The Beacon were also held at the Island House. Schaffner, now president of Schaffner Publications Inc. and publisher of The Beacon, announced plans to hold the 50th anniversary celebration of The Beacon at The Island House as well.
Looking forward in time, Schaffner put on his Swami's turban and predicted how The Beacon will look when it turns 50 in 2033. "The original business plan for The Beacon in 1983 was the same then as it is now, and I believe will be pretty much the same in 2033," said Schaffner. "Technology is moving media so fast these days that it will be hard to predict, but I still believe that people will enjoy holding that newspaper in their hands to catch up on local events."
Looking back in time, Schaffner quoted from the movie "Meet Joe Black", "When the Anthony Hopkins character made a speech on his 65th birthday, he told the attendees that 'every face is a memory!'"
In 1983, the chances of success for the fledgling newspaper were slim, but Schaffner persisted. He loaded his newspaper with local news and sports, avoided the "ugly" news stories and focused on the positives. The newspaper was distributed from the Marblehead Lighthouse to the west side of Oak Harbor, just as it is today. Schaffner was fortunate to have made many friends in his time at WRWR and is convinced today that those friendships gave his newspaper the level of credibility to help it succeed almost immediately.
"Many of those friends have passed on, but many are still with us today," Schaffner stated. "In the 30 years since the 1983, we have been fortunate to keep those old friends and make many new ones. That's why I repeated the Hopkins line 'every face is a memory', because it is true!"
The biggest changes over those 30 years have come in technology. "When we first started, we had to hand-deliver written ad and editorial copy four days a week to Sandusky. In the mid-1980s we got our own typesetting equipment and started composing the paper locally. That was just about the time when desktop publishing became a reality. We still had to cut and paste the entire paper together and deliver 'flats' to the printer each week. Today it is all done electronically via cyberspace. We have always attempted to keep up the most current printing and publishing technology."
Several years ago The Beacon added its own website, www.thebeacon.net. "Ten years ago or so, all newspapers understood they needed to be online. Our advantage was that being online didn't mean losing newspaper readership and circulation. It was a way to extend the reach of The Beacon outside the borders of Ottawa County and reach huge audiences who find our local area interesting, for whatever reason," said Schaffner. "Being a free community newspaper from the start has made a huge difference in this arena. Instead of our website being a detriment to readership, it is a bonus to readers, because now we can update our local news on a daily, even hourly basis."
So, from 1983 when the first black and white issue of The Beacon was printed to 2013's Beacon in full size and full color, the evolution continues. "The original concept, however, remains," says Schaffner. "The Beacon was designed from the start to be totally integrated within the communities we serve. It has been designed to help our readers and our community as a whole to live here better." The Beacon has proven that over the years and has been named the Business of the Year by both the Port Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Marblehead Peninsula Chamber of Commerce. It was also named the Economic Partner of the Year by the Ottawa County Community Improvement Corp.
Looking at today's Beacon, Volume 31, Issue 1, Schaffner finds much to celebrate. He is appreciative of The Beacon's loyal readership base. According to the most recent independent audit, it's average circulation of 13,600 soars to over 17,000 in the summer months, and, with each paper being read by an average of two readers, that means a readership of upwards of 34,000, making it by far the most read publication in Ottawa County. The growing number of website readers are adding to that base. Those who are wintering in warmer climates, those who maintain ties to family and friends in Ottawa County and those who do all their reading electronically read The Beacon online. The upcoming enhancements for The Beacon's website, www.thebeacon.net, are also cause for celebration for Schaffner.
"It doesn't happen without the help and support of family," says Schaffner, "immediate family Mary Alice and son Mark, extended family, staff members past and present, and the larger family, legions of Beacon readers--my sincere thanks to one and all."

The Christmas spirit is definitely building up here at WeHeartHome. That's why I'm sharing this red inspired Christmas interior I found via the fabulous Style At Home magazine.
This family home is modern and quite minimal with a calm backdrop using white and black and neutrals. I think it's the perfect canvas for splashing red onto, don't you think? Andrea, the homeowner says:
"You can make a lot of impact with a little red."
Do you like this Interior of the Week? What have you got planned for your Christmas decor this year? I'm thinking white and gold … Just got a potted Christmas tree the other day. Looking forward to bringing it in and dressing it up in those colours.
Wishing you a festive weekend folks!

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A total of 20 stores in
Arizona and New Mexico received contaminated gas from a northwestern New
Mexico refinery.
Western Refining spokesman Gary Hanson says a
gasket failed, allowing water to leak into a petroleum storage tank near
Gallup last week. The company has established a claims hotline.
Stores in Rio Rancho, Kirtland, Jamestown, Aztec,
Gallup, Santa Fe, Farmington and Albuquerque got deliveries of the
contaminated gas. In Arizona, it went to stores in Springerville, Show
Low, Teec Nos Pos, Holbrook, Flagstaff, Pinon, St. Johns and Keams
Western Refining is paying for repairs, provided
there's documentation for the Oct. 8 gasoline purchases at those stores
and repairs.
Two stores in far southwestern Colorado also received contaminated gas. The supplies since have been replaced.
Statement from Western Refining:
Dear Valued Customer,
On October 8, 2013, we experienced an unfortunate situation where contaminated gasoline was delivered to a limited number of convenience store locations throughout New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado.
We are working diligently to rectify the situation. We have removed and replaced the gasoline at each of these locations. We have established a claims hotline available 24 hours a day to assist you in getting your vehicle repaired if you were impacted by this unfortunate occurrence.

Adam has been at the heart of British studio glass for more than 25 years, firstly as a gallerist and subsequently as an artist in his own right, learning glass later in his career and developing self-taught methods. In 2013, Adam moved his gass blowing studio to West Horsley, Surrey. Adam specialises in free blown glass. His vessels and sculptures are at once a celebration of the simplicity of pure form, and also an investigation into layering.
Chrystalla's fascination between opposites and contradictions to form hybrids and paradoxes, has been the driving theme behind her work for the last few years. Glass as a material, the epitome of contradiction, allows her to explore and express this keen interest on a multitude of levels. Coming from a Fine Art background and using a diverse range of techniques (such as deep sandblasting, water-jet cutting, blowing, kiln-work, laminating and lamp-working), Chrystalla has developed a personal approach to translating her ideas into art glass, achieving a simultaneous balance and conflict between modern and traditional practices.
Graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1996 with a degree in Three dimmentional design, specializing in Kiln formed Glass. Opened my studio in Glossop, Derbyshire in 1996.My work is sculptural, I did a lot of work using the mask, or from life drawing. My recent work is more abstract, based on organic forms.
I moved to Helsinki in February 1998. After months in a black and white world (a Finnish winter!) I wanted COLOUR and I found it working with stained glass. Since then I have taken every opportunity to study and work with glass (hot, warm and cold), using as many different techniques as possible. The variety in my work reflects this, as does my Finnish vocabulary! I also make mixed media pieces, using my own photographs and monoprints.

(I think we saw the best of Rod's suit collection tonight, don't you?)
Drive safely everyone.
Fans are piling out to their nearby homes and cars for the long journey back.
Have a safe trip home and we hope you all enjoyed the concert.
Wheelchair user Kieran Vile was chuffed with his vantage point at The Colin Atkinson Pavilion.
"It's a good view, because if I was on normal sitting down level, it would be difficult to see everything because everyone would be stood up."
Friend Jake Sharland said: "We arrived quite early, and it was very busy then.
"It's very difficult for a disabled person to get a good view, but I think they've done well, and to get so many people here from Taunton., it's nice to see."
ROD takes a breather for a costume change while his fiery ladies get rollin':
YES Rod, we think you're sexy:
ONE of my favourite shots of the night! (@GazetteDaisyB)
My soundtrack to walking to Tesco was Rod Stewart singing Baby Jane live.— @Draculara 18 June 2014
Very happy that the parentals loved their present to see Rod Stewart @SomersetCCC tonight. #60th #birthdaypressie— @Pagita1 18 June 2014
Considering his age, rod stewart was brilliant tonight, loads of energy at the cricket ground. 69 and not out! http://t.co/eUKJ5oi1aT— @andy_ajbwelding 18 June 2014
AND now for a few snapshots from the night just gone...
Tracy Frankham and Kristen Holmes travelled from Yeovil to try and get Rod to have a selfie with them:
SO it's all over! Revellers are reminded to think of local residents and be as quiet as possible coming out of the County Ground.
Lots of great pictures coming in from the concert, nice to see so many out supporting a great cause and enjoying some live entertainment.
Rolling On The River: these fiery souls give Rod a quick breather!
You're In My Heart up next.
Maggie May bellows out from the County Ground stage and from near enough everyone in Taunton.
Rod has brought an orchestra on stage for a golden sound to match his suit for The First Cut Is The Deepest.
Rod now performing Forever Young
Rod's down to shirt and tie (to whooping) and singing a song about being in the music business.
A refrain from the seventies, and it's going down like the best, sweetest spoon of honey.
Rod performs Wear It Well to the happy, bouncing crowd at the County Ground, Taunton.
Onto the swaggering chilled blues version of Tonight's The Night which was finished off for him a capella.
Rod addresses the crowd:
"Good evening my friends! Oh what a gorgeous evening. Unbelievable.
"Thank you first of all, before we get into our two hour set, thank you for coming. Especially those who've travelled a long distance, and it's definitely going to be worth your while."
Straight into a Motown hit - This Old Heart Of Mine Is Weak For You.
The main man, Mr Rod Stewart, is on stage and has kicked off his performance with Infatuation.
Dixie Mix now doing a fab swing fling version of When the Saints Go Marching In, with a raspy voice a la Louis Armstrong.
And guess what! it's their last song.
Massive Rod fans, Lorraine and Guy Beale from Blackbrook, are still very much enjoying the view from the back of the County Ground, despite having a sit apart, having been away when tickets went on sale.
Guy says: "I'm a bit worried about the outfield though. We're doing quite well at the moment and I'll never forgive Rod if he ruins it."
Dixie Mix are threatening to get us all dancing, singing, "n' all sorts of things", and they're doing exactly as promised: this is music you can't help but move to, from these men in their black and red.
With the sun still beating down, this place has got an incredible festival feel to it; everyone's got pints on hand, chatting on excitedly.
Update: 3.5 hours after the gates opened, Rod's support steps on stage:
Dixie Mix, all the way from New Orleans, and they sound awesome - all trumpet, double bass and boogie.
County Gazette reporter Daisy Blacklock is at the County Ground.
She said: "What a beautiful evening - people are still piling in, the sun is beaming down and St Margaret's dream has come true.
"Congratulations to the team for all their tremendous hard work."
Ann Lee, St Margaret's Hospice's clinical director and deputy chief executive, and the brains behind the Rod Stewart concert group, told the County Gazette: "Two years ago we had a staff conference. At it, Chris Akabusi, the famous olympian, came and said to us that we needed to raise our ambitions, and raise the bar as a charity, to engage people in the community.
"As part of that, I was given the challenge of attempting to raise £100,000 in a day, and to reach 18,000 people, who by 2020, would represent the number of people we would need to care for.
"The concert money from Rod's concert will go into direct patient care. We want to continue to strengthen and develop our community service. At the moment we are giving care seven days a week, 365 days a year to Taunton and Yeovil.
"We want to be able to sustain the existing service that we provide, and in this time of financial challenge, that's hard, so an event like this will help us.
"We're the fourth largest hospice in the UK. We've got people from London, Germany and from other hospices in the South West to come and see how we have raised the bar."
Sam Stewart, development director for St Margaret's, reflects on the scene before her at the County Ground.
She said: "It's just incredible, an amazing achievement, and we feel very proud.
"It's great to see just so many people here enjoying the atmosphere. It's great for Taunton, great for Somerset and it's great for St Margaret's.
"We've been dreaming of this moment for the last three years, and it's just something seeing all those people out there."
It sounds like a 'great' evening of entertainment over at the County Ground.
THE gates are open!

Taunton looking stacked out for Rod Stewart tonight. Average age of attendee looks 50+ so I fit right in 😄— @nic_police 18 June 2014
ST Margaret's Hospice may be the first adult hospice to stage a full-blown rock concert with a legend topping the bill, but with £10 million a year needed to deliver its service, the bucket collectors are still out in full force.
Pictured are St Margaret's Denise Murrell and Jo Stewart, who says she is sadly "no relation" to Rod.
Here are ten other Rods to keep you entertained while you wait for the main Rod...
1. Rodney Trotter – from Only Fools and Horses, aka Dave according to Trigger. Comedy gold – an excellent Rod.
2. Rod Hull – less vicious half of Rod and Emu. But when it comes to an Emu, Rod 'you wear it well'.
3. Rod Laver - Australian former professional tennis player who holds the record for most singles titles won in the history of tennis, with 200 career titles – giving him 'every reason to believe' in his talent.
4. Rhod Gilbert - Welsh comedian – superb at stand-up and a regular on TV and radio panel shows. If the Welsh listen carefully tonight, they might just catch a few bars drifting across the Bristol Channel.
5. Rod Wallace – a key member of the team when Leeds United won the old First Division in 1992 (hurragh! – Ed) – the last piece of silverware won by the Yorkshire team (sob – Ed). Often captioned as his brother Danny in the national papers.
6. Fishing Rod – Great for catching fish if you are 'sailing' in calm seas. Ahem.
7. Lightning Rod – If 'tonight's the night' for a thunderstorm, you'll need one of these.
8. Dyno Rod (this is terrible – Ed) – 'Have I told you lately' that your drains are blocked?
9. Erm, that's all the Rods we can think of – use the Comment box below if you can help. Sorry.
STEVE Letchford from West Quantoxhead queued from 3.30pm to be one of the first to pass through the gates.
"I got my tickets as soon as they went on sale. The queuing hasn't been too bad, we've had some entertainment from security."
KIM and James Rigby from Ilminster were among those right at the front of the queue before Somerset County Ground's gates opened a few minutes ago, and say the scale of their Rod fandom is "definitely 10/10."
"Only The Stones can beat him," says James.
The queue of ticket holders waiting to see @rodstewart in Taunton now extends beyond St James' Church.— @GazetteMColl 18 June 2014

ROD should open the concert tonight with a Wurzels' track! a few of you have suggested on social media.
@GazetteDaisyB just put this to Wurzel TOMMY BANNER, who lives in Taunton, to see what he'd make of rock legend Rod doing just that.
"What a great idea! It'd be absolutely magic, that would be, not half.
"I've seen him at Cardiff Castle - my wife is Welsh and she still has a lot of family over there - and he did a brilliant show.
"If it were me, Handbags & Gladrags is my Rod Stewart choice.
"In our song, 'Rock Around the A38', it opens with the line, 'Way down Taunton on the A38', and it's got a rock feel to it, completely different years and years ago - that would be a great one for him to open with."

Susan, who works for Somerset County Council, told the Gazette:
"It's obviously lovely having front row tickets - because of my age I know him from the seventies; his start era, really.
"He's gone with the times, and I just find him really good at what he does.
"My favourite song is 'The First Cut is the Deepest', which is lovely, and Maggie May. I like all the old ones really."

BRITISH rock legend Rod Stewart steps onto the stage at Somerset County Cricket Ground today for his hotly-awaited concert in aid of Taunton-based charity St Margaret's Hospice.
Thousands of Rod fans – 18,000 to be exact – will flock to the county town, with general tickets long sold out.
Rod's visit is the third large scale concert to have been staged by the County Ground in recent years, following the coup of Sir Elton John's two Taunton performances.
The concert is hoped to raise a significant sum for St Margaret's Hospice, which has organised the concert, and depends on £10 million a year in fundraising for its service.
Anne Lee, St Margaret's clinical director, said: "Staff have been working behind the scenes on this for two years.
"What's more, we're the only adult hospice in the country who have done something on this scale – arrange a rock concert to raise money."
The County Ground gates will open at 4pm, with the concert expected to start at 6pm and end no later than 10.30pm.

After an unsuccessful attempt to stop funding Planned Parenthood earlier this year, at least 17 local affiliates of Planned Parenthood are receiving grants from the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure this year, the same number who received the grants in 2011. The total amount of the grants are still being worked out, and about six Planned Parenthood grant applications were turned down, mostly because the Komen affiliates lacked the funds. Planned Parenthood officials said they did not think politics played a role in the grants being awarded, and in some places, they said the connection between local Komen and Planned Parenthood groups deepened because of the outrage after the short-lived defunding.

Why are we so stupid for Apple?
So I've been thinking about this all day, ever since I read Cult of Mac's announcement this morning about the iPhone 5 coming out in August (supposedly). Immediately, the geek in me rejoiced at the prospect of yet another phone to get my hot little hands on. However, (and since I can't get one right away as I just got my 4 in January), the more I thought about it, the more I asked myself "Why do you even need to upgrade?". Now put down your pitchforks, people! I'm not saying that we should stop buying into Apple and new technology in general. Apple is obviously by far my favorite manufacturer of geek good-ness considering between my husband and I we own a 27″ iMac, a Macbook, a Macbook pro, an iPad 2, 3 original iPads (each family member needed their own of course!), 2 iPhone 4's and 2 iPhone 3gs'. We're not shy when it comes to buying into new tech. Like I stated in the title though, why are we so stupid for Apple, and by extension, shiny new technologies?
My gut answer was not a great one. "Ooooh shiny/faster/better – must have!" I would like to think that since I call myself a geek I would have a better reasoning. However, in the end, I fall under the "cutting/bleeding edge" category below. This brings me to my analysis. After thinking about it today and talking to some of my friends, I think in the end, users will fall into one or more of the following categories when it comes to "Why am I upgrading?"
Status Symbol
These people don't know a damned thing about technology generally, but they must always have the best! This in my eyes is the CEO of a big company who wears the name brand suits, drives the $90,000 car, and who barely knows his secretary's name. The only time he addresses her is when he can't figure out how to play angry birds on his new (just purchased yesterday!) phone.
Cutting/Bleeding Edge
This is going to generally be someone who is very familiar with technology, and is excited to play with the latest and greatest. This person doesn't NEED to upgrade, but enjoys keeping up with what's out there today. They would also rather eat Ramen for a month then go without waiting in line for 9 hours to get the newest iPhone/iPad/etc.
Right Place, Right Time
This person, as the caption suggests, just happens to need an upgrade just as something new and awesome is released. They may still be using a flip phone from 2006 that AT&T has finally stopped supporting. They're not particularly technology savvy, but they've read enough to know that if they're going to upgrade, they're going to upgrade to the newest thing so that (in their minds) they wont have to upgrade for another 5 years again.
Images from the following sites:
Fun Geek Stuff
I'm always on the look out for funny geek toys (to either buy or just drool over). My husband knows of, and feeds this obsession. Case in point, three fun things he found yesterday:
Star Wars Sandwich cutter (could also be used for cookies!)
Star Wars Pancake Mold:
And finally, If I only had a Braaaiiinnnn…. (how has this not been thought of before??)
So much cool stuff out there!
I love Firefox, but…
So yeah, I love firefox. I've loved them since the days of old when they first came out and no one knew who the heck they were. However, I have been irritated time and time again every since update 3.5 which introduced my nemesis: Tab Tearing. Basically, you can click and grab a tab and pull it off into it's own window. A cool feature for sure, if you want to work on something without distraction. However, after the 1,372,992th time of me just innocently clicking anywhere NEAR a tab, and it detaching into it's own window, I knew SOMEONE out there had to have made a fix for this. So, I broke out my good friend Google and got to work. A mere three minutes later, and I had this gem:
(Click on the picture above to see the larger page)
Basically, once this add-on is installed, you have the GLORIOUS option of turning off the ridiculously non-functional Tab Tear feature. I've been using it all day and it works great! It definitely makes for a less frustrating browsing experience, especially since I generally have anywhere from 10-20 tabs open at once. What can I say? You almost HAVE to have A.D.D. to be a geek :)

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Between 1960 and 2012 the share of Canadians in the U.S. foreign-born population declined from 10 to 2 percent, while the actual number of Canadian immigrants has remained remarkably steady. Using the most up-to-date statistics, this profile examines the Canadian immigrant population by size, age, location, college education, and more.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place.

Muzaffar Chishti, Claire Bergeron, and Faye Hipsman report on the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to decide the constitutionality of Arizona's SB 1070, passage in the House of the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011, DOJ lawsuits in Utah and South Carolina, and more.
More than 1 million people became legal permanent residents (LPRs) in the United States in 2010. Nearly two-thirds of new LPRs are immigrants with family ties in the United States, report MPI's Carola Balbuena and Jeanne Batalova in this updated look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
Migration to and through Mexico has been a critical policy issue for the Mexican government since the 1980s, as large numbers of Central Americans have flowed in through the country's porous southern border, first in flight during times of civil war and humanitarian crises and later in pursuit of greater economic opportunity in the United States.
As the United States paused in September to mark the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the enforcement paradigm that took hold immediately after the terrorist attacks showed no signs of waning.
Public backlash against the detention systems of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States mounted in 2011 with allegations of unacceptable living conditions, abuse, prolonged detention, and government waste.
This report focuses on the effects of migration on political extremism in North America, Western Europe, and Central and Eastern Europe. The author explores nativist reactions, analyzes the role of migration in the identity and discourse of nativist actors, examines public effects of their impact on migration policies, and summarizes ways in which states respond to anti-immigrant extremism.
This report provides a comprehensive profile of the immigrant population in Napa County, CA. It examines the effect of immigration on the county's demographic trends and calculates the economic contributions of immigrants as well as their impact on government revenues and expenditures.
The Migration Policy Institute celebrated its first decade as the authoritative, unimpeachable resource on immigration and immigrant integration analysis and policy design in the United States and internationally.
The economic consequences of emigration on migrants' countries of origin have long been studied, yet the precise assessment of positive and negative impacts remains complex. This analysis finds that Mexico's fiscal balance appears to benefit from emigration when considering remittances and labor markets.
Immigration from the Caribbean to the United States is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning largely after 1965. This report provides a demographic profile of the 1.7 million Caribbean immigrants in the United States: their geographic settlement, education and workforce characteristics, earnings, modes of entry, and more.
This report finds that the 813,000 U.S. children under the age of 10 who have Black immigrant parents from Africa or the Caribbean generally fall in the middle of multiple well-being indicators, faring less well than Asian and white children but better than their native-born Black and Hispanic peers. Citizenship status, English proficiency, parental characteristics, poverty, housing, and access to social supports are examined.
Ce manuel pratique et simple d'utilisation à l'usage des décideurs et des praticiens fait le point des mesures les plus récentes prises par les pouvoirs publics en direction des diasporas. La question qui se pose aux responsables politiques n'est pas tant de savoir si les diasporas peuvent être utiles à leur pays d'origine, mais comment elles le sont et quels types de politiques et de programmes publics sont à même de favoriser ces relations.
Este manual ofrece a los formuladores de políticas y especialistas una guía accesible y práctica sobre las iniciativas gubernamentales referentes a la diáspora. Este manual contiene un menú, seleccionado cuidadosamente, de opciones normativas y programáticas viables basadas en experiencias reales en distintas partes del mundo.

Turkey Tails, Oyster Mushrooms, Bay Nuts and Acorns
No, this isn't a Thanksgiving recipe even though it sounds like one! We recently took a wonderful class on "Wild Foods" at the California School of Herbal Studies. We love our wonderful teacher Autumn Summers! We've been foraging the edges of Petaluma to hunt for California Bay Laurel nuts and acorns. Both of which can be found in great abundance right in our neighborhood.
We always look far and wide for something only to find what we need right here under our noses. Our neighborhood park is called Oak Hill for a reason! The kids and I go acorn collecting and find many different varieties from which to choose. I've had them drying on a cookie sheet on top of the old stove for about a month. The griddle stays warm from the pilot light and it seems to work just fine. When we get to processing them I'll write about it here.
As part of that same class we learned about mushrooms and couldn't wait to get out in the woods! Our first find was some beautiful Turkey Tails (Trametes versicolor). An antiviral, immune enhancing, antitumor, anticancer medicine. And, as it grows on dead logs it is easy to find. This mushroom is powerful medicine and that's exactly how we will use it. It can be used as a tea, in soups for flavor or powdered and taken in capsules. We will be blending ours with other medicinal mushrooms in a tincture. When I get to tincturing I'll be sure to write about it here.
On a different outing we found some gorgeous Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). Although this mushroom does have medicinal uses we dried some for future culinary use and sauteed some in the following morning's duck egg frittata. Delicious!
We are absolute beginners so we've only eaten the easy to identify mushrooms so far. We carry with us What the Rain Promises and More: A Hip Pocket Guide to Western Mushrooms by David Aurora. When we get home we look through Medicinal Mushrooms: An Exploration of Tradition, Healing and Culture by Christopher Hobbs, L. Ac. We have now entered the amazing world of mushrooms!

Turkey tail is a mushroom that grows in great abundance here in the area that I come from. It is also one of my interests as this area has one of the highest HIV infection rate and very little support from government for the sufferers of this disease. If turkey tail can be used to help relieve some of the symptom then I think it should be looked at in a serious light by more people and more research should be done so that people can have access to it and maybe get a small amount of relief from their problems.

The measure now goes to the full House for consideration, expected next week, of what would be an unprecedented event -- Congress holding a sitting attorney general in contempt.
"Unless the attorney general reevaluates his choice and supplies the promised documents, the House will vote to hold him in contempt next week," said a statement by the chamber's Republican leaders. "If, however, Attorney General Holder produces these documents prior to the scheduled vote, we will give the (committee) an opportunity to review in hopes of resolving this issue."
All 23 Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee supported the measure, while the 17 Democrats opposed it, reflecting the deep political divide on the issue.
The vote ended an extraordinary day-long hearing that took place after President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege over some documents sought by the panel investigating the Fast and Furious program.
Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, refused to put off consideration of the measure, saying the White House assertion of executive privilege "falls short" of any reason to delay the hearing.
However, Issa said after the hearing that he believes a settlement to avoid an unprecedented contempt vote in the House is "in the best interest of the Justice Department, Congress, and those most directly affected by Operation Fast and Furious."
In a statement later Wednesday, Holder called Issa's decision to hold the vote "an election-year tactic" and "an extraordinary, unprecedented and entirely unnecessary action, intended to provoke an avoidable conflict between Congress and the executive branch."
What happens if panel cites Holder for contempt?
The committee's top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, accused Issa of setting an "impossible standard" for Holder by initially demanding documents the attorney general is legally prohibited from providing. Now Issa has "no interest in resolving" the dispute with Holder, Cummings said.
Wednesday's developments further heightened the drama of a high-profile showdown between Issa and Holder over the Fast and Furious program that dates back to subpoenas issued by the House committee last year.
The White House move means the Department of Justice can withhold some of the documents from the committee.
In a letter to Obama seeking the assertion of executive privilege, Holder said the documents involved related to the Justice Department's "response to congressional oversight and related media inquiries," and that release of internal executive branch documents would have "significant, damaging consequences."
Holder also said releasing the documents would "inhibit the candor of executive branch deliberations in the future and significantly impair the ability of the executive branch to respond independently and effectively to congressional oversight."
A separate Justice Department letter to Issa made public minutes before Wednesday's committee meeting was scheduled to begin said Obama "has asserted executive privilege over the relevant post-February 4, 2011, documents."
"We regret that we have arrived at this point, after the many steps we have taken to address the committee's concerns and to accommodate the committee's legitimate oversight interests regarding Operation Fast and Furious," said the letter from Deputy Attorney General James Cole. "Although we are deeply disappointed that the committee appears intent on proceeding with a contempt vote, the department remains willing to work with the committee to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of the outstanding issues."
The hearing started 20 minutes late as panel members digested Cole's letter, and Issa immediately made clear he intended to hold a vote on the contempt measure.
Issa's committee is specifically seeking documents that show why the Department of Justice decided to withdraw as inaccurate a February 2011 letter sent to Congress that said top officials had only recently learned about Fast and Furious.
Holder said he offered to turn over some of the documents sought by Issa when they met Tuesday in a final effort to resolve the dispute before Wednesday's hearing. Issa, however, said Holder put unreasonable conditions on his offer/
In a letter to Issa after Tuesday's meeting, Cole reiterated Holder's position that the documents would show Holder had nothing to hide about his role in Fast and Furious.

Ferrucio Laviani is part of a generation of young Italian designers who came to prominence in the early 90's when the Memphis movement made its mark on international design. Born in 1960, Laviani studied both architecture and design in Milan, graduating with a degree in architecture in 1986. Soon thereafter, he took part in the "12 Newcomers" Memphis collection in 1986 and the "Living on Earth" Memphis collection in 1987, launching his career with ties to the colorful and idiosyncratic design movement. Laviani went on to design whimsical, colorful furniture and objects that remind us of their exuberant and expressive mission. Laviani's Orbital Lamp of 1991, perhaps his best known design, used color-saturated biomorphic shapes for the glass shades, and an angular, tapering metal base, bringing to mind the organic emphasis and optimism of the '50s, while his Max table combines multi-use practicality with his signature curvilinear forms. Ferruccio Laviani marks the transition between his generation and those before him through his collaborations with his elders and mentors. He's worked with Kartell, Foscarini, Achille Castiglioni, and Ettore Sottsass. Along with his talented colleagues, Laviani exemplifies the best of Italian design, present and future.

Jannick from Hoboken, NJ– Verified Buyer
I absolutely love this Kartell lamp! Purchased 2 to use on nightstands in my bedroom. The decor in the room is a mix of modern and vintage, and these lamps fit in perfectly. They are so versatile, that you'll be able to mix them into most decor. I love the dimmer, and the fact that the switch lights up, so you can always find it in the dark. I've had them now for 2 years, and have had no issues - I haven't even had to replace a light bulb yet!

I LOVE these lamps.
Linda from California– Verified Buyer
I purchased two of these lamps and I have to tell you that are spectacular! Just absolutely stunning! The pictures don't do them justice at all. The only concern I had with the lamps is that one of the halogen bulbs that it came with went out as soon as I put it in. I have searched high and low for the same bulb and can't find them anywhere. The feature description says I can just use a 40W candelabra bulb, so that's what I'm going to try. It didn't sound to me like it had to be halogen or be exactly what came with the lamp. If this doesn't work then I'm going to try to get ahold of the manufacturer in Italy.

In its 55 years of existence, Kartell has won prestigious international awards including 9 Gold Compass awards. Today Kartell exports 75 percent of its products to 85 countries worldwide. Lasting success and a daring challenge on the market combine with the continual desire to innovate and reinvent.

Finders Keepers 2 (Snap, Crackle and Jack)Mother Hubbard ("Call me Sophie" she'd said to Moira following introductions) as it turned out, was a tall, rail thin woman who looked like disturbingly like a Real Housewife. Tanned, plucked, botoxed and trussed in skinny jeans and platform heels. She greeted Sebastian at the door of her condo with a vulpine smile made terrible by bleached-bright veneers. "Bastian, back so soon?" she purred then catching sight of Moira, the wattage of her smile dimmed by several degrees. "So this is a business not a social visit I presume?" Pale brown eyes appraised Moira from head to toe while Moira tried not to stare.Sebastian nodded. "I would have called but I know how much you enjoy surprises."Hubbard smiled again. Moira really wished she wouldn't. "Keeps the blood pumping sweetie. Come on in."The interior of the condo was a decorated in a hodge-podge of antique and modern design. There was a Queen Anne settee next to an Ikea-style chaise in the sunken living room, a Chippendale dining room set
Finders Keepers 3The ride to the park was mostly silent. Both Moira and Sebastian were lost in thought as she drove from Gerardo Hills, where most of the town's wealthier denizens lived, onto the main thoroughfare that would take them downtown.Moira was recalling her near descent into madness. Up until about three weeks ago, she'd practically lived at the park. Every day she would visit. Hoping...praying...She'd come early in the morning before work then go to the police station to see if there was any news. She'd return at lunch and sit, her food untouched, on or near the bench facing the grove of trees where Mandy had disappeared. Her heart would pound whenever she caught a glimpse of a little girl with dark hair and tawny colored skin and though intuitively, she knew that it would not be Mandy, the disappointment when she saw that it was not was so acute that she would sit, gasping and shaking, wondering when the pain would end.She'd been obsessed, vigilant. Believing somehow that as long as she
Finders Keepers 5They stood frozen for a few moments, transfixed by the tableau. A swarm of tiny, green plasmabugs had already descended and were feasting on the sticky, dripping blood. The satyr's eyes continued to roll crazily then he spoke. "Aendh gwy tok. Aendh … uss…hydrk. Tala, ettles. Uss, deen gwy tok." Thick, garbled words that none of them understood."We have to help him," Moira cried. There was a boa constrictor in her chest making it difficult to breathe. This was worse than a dead body. Far worse. She couldn't stand to look at him and yet she couldn't look away."It's too late for that," Sebastian told her. "He won't survive for long without his skin. If the shock doesn't kill him, the pain and exposure will.""But what about that wand thing? You said it could heal anything.""No Moira. I said it can heal almost any injury. The Caduceus' magic isn't enough to fix
You Can Say That Again*Flash fiction Island styleIJesus saves! I cast you out in the name of Jesus! So screams the preacher man slamming his palm against foreheads to drive out demons. Not more than a few feet away from the pulpit, an eighteen year-old member of his congregation claps her hands and shouts hallelujah!

Finder's Keepers: You Can't Go Home Again Jack was dreaming. He was thirteen years old again. A tall, awkward looking boy with a disarming smile, a keen interest in girls and a two pack a day habit. He was standing on the lawn of the house he'd once called home, feet rooted with a reluctance he only subconsciously understood. Dani had called while he was away for the summer with friends. She'd sounded the same---talking a mile a minute and eager to hear all about his trip. He could tell that she missed him and he had to admit he missed her too. But something was wrong. He could feel it. It niggled at him like an itch between the shoulders, maddeningly out of reach. The house looked as it always did, rustic and homey---the wooden slats painted white, with potted plants and bright hanging flowers adorning a lattice-skirted porch. A light summer breeze ruffled his hair and made the wind chime above the hammock, clink a discordant tune. Don't go inside. Dread heaved Jack
Garden VarietyA hex can be a slick and deadly weapon in the hands of an experienced witch. Like the carefully wielded surgeon's blade it finds its mark and exacts a terrible vengeance on the cursed individual; such horrors that are mentioned only in frightened whispers or gloating asides – depending on the degree of likeability of the unfortunate soul of course.Not all curses are hexes but all hexes are curses and are not reversible but they can be redirected by the witch who cast the spell in the first place. These are the type of curses that elicit words, like 'please God let me die!'Novices should not attempt hexes. I repeat novices should not attempt hexes. It is powerful magic made dark by the intent of the witch and as such comes with a hefty price. There's a reason why most witches look the way they do. Dark magic takes a terrible toll on the body and one must be willing to do unspeakable things in order to allay its effects and if not performed properly, the magic
Twenty SevenIt's Saturday. Almost 5AM. I am jolted out of sleep by the sound of two sharp reports. Seconds later a couple of mangoes from the massive tree in my yard drop onto the roof of the house. Happens all the timea nuisance I'd gotten used to. I dismiss the noise. Sleep is sweet and I wanna get back to it. About a minute later, my dog starts to bark. Ears of a satellite that one. My ears are light too and I know I won't get back to sleep until he does. He doesn't. I tell him to shut it. He doesn't. I soon attribute his continued barking to the voices I hear outside. People coming home from a party I think. They'll soon go away. But no. The voices continue. Sounds like more people in fact. My dog Gizmo, is not best pleased. I sigh and wander out to the living room, crank the louvers a bit and peer out. What greets my eyes is a nasty bit of a shock. There are CIDs (Crime Investigation Department) detectives and a small crowd of ne
How much do you love?The day he came home with blood on his shoes, he'd been gone for almost a week. She looked at him with anxious eyes, his grim face and sad eyes and did not ask the question that trembled on her tongue. Instead she asked another question. "Are we moving?"He almost broke then. Regret, self-pity, love, anger and despair warred for dominance, made a brief rictus of his beloved face. Then he nodded once, not trusting himself to speak."Okay, it won't take me long to pack." He stared at her, noted the set of her shoulders and the look of resolve on her face as she shoved away from the table where she'd been sitting with a cup of tea. She approached him, bare feet slapping lightly on floor and for a moment, he thought that she would strike him ― it was after all what he deserved but instead, she launched herself into his arms.He held her for a long time, grateful that he still could, that she understood.
I Come When You Call MeMy lover died at twilight. While the sun was slinking backward out of view, spilling gold on the horizonthe clouds pink-tipped and taffy-pulled against the fading blue.On a night sharp with stars and broken moon, I killed him again.---The waning keen of magic filled my head as I shoveled dirt into the hole. The sound was low, so low that it was mostly vibration, a threnodial hum that strummed the air blue. I made myself dead to the emotion that wanted to vomit itself from my chest and concentrated on the hole. My hands were raw and bleeding and the pain in my shoulders made me want to scream, but this had to be done. My love deserved a decent burial.It was waiting for me when I'd finished. The wishwraith; a child-small figure with a pointed face and long, stalk-like limbs. Its expression was devoid of pity. If it could speak, I think it might have said, I told you so. I'd made a grave (ha-ha) mistake in summoning it here.I moved past it without a word, shucking
The Gentlemen's Alliance #1Mr SensibleMr Sensible likes his coffee flat and dark, the same tongue-searing temperature every single morning. He gets up before the birds do to have his shower, and thus always smells of a mix between roasted coffee beans and that strange almond stuff he uses for his hair. He is clean shaven, and his hair doesn't flop down over his face. He looks his age and acts his age.When you first meet him, you don't like Mr. Sensible much. But he can carry good conversation and he admits he has a smile he saves just for you. He never has to chase you because unlike most men he can keep up. You go out together without the company of others as friends at first. He shows no romantic interest in you for ages, until one day someone tries to ask you out and he slips his warm hand into yours.Mr Sensible always has time for everything because he's always a little bit early. He has time to zip up your dress and compliment you on your looks. He doesn't shower you with affection because he knows it si
Our DutyWe swallowed the path homeBecause we were hungry,Though starving is an ongoingStory, an empty bagDancing in the streets,Full of an unfastened voiceWalking through the house,Wind unchained, heart admonished.Heaven fills its eyes, crawls away,That sleeping boat content to followThe vacant waves, intervalsOf dying that we dare not interrupt,And we watch the kind ear shrinkingFrom our charcoal docks; heavenWith a full stomach crawls away.This is what we were put here for.
Dead languages and bitter teaWe were directly opposed,circling each other in a confining pool,my mouth seeking yours, but only findingthe fragments of composure you left in your wake."Nunc scio quid sit Amor",you said once, and I agreed with you,then looked up what the hell you meantas soon as I was alone.We went stargazing when we were hungryand fed ourselves with the namesand the glow of all the starsthat spread themselves out to tease us."This is what I see in you," you flattered,pointing at the sky while the wetness of the grasssoaked into our backs."You're that string of pearls, right there,hanging around the neck of the sky.You are more than what I've been looking for,more than anything I've ever tried to find,"you painted stars and lies.I left you job listings in the mornings,and you told me my fortune,in the bottom of my teacup.We were directly opposed; I told you to leave if you wanted,so on a night too cold for me to see the comfort in your dreams,you left, gathering

The Other's Orange FlowersMy brother's asleep on the couch and I have a pen in my hand. At first I was going to draw on his face, but that would wake him up. So I turn the pen upside down and dangle the orange feather at the end just above his nose."What are you doing, Allie?" he asks without opening his eyes. I sweep the feather across his nose. His face wrinkles up and he opens one eye. "Ew, orange!""It's just a colour," I say. "I'm looking after you. Mum told me to."He pushes me off the couch with one hand, and I slump onto the floor. "You're too little to look after me, Allie.""But you're sick, and you can't look after me, so . . ." I chew my lips."Sure, I can," he says. "And I'm not sick, just tired.""You've been tired a lot. That might mean you're sick.""Allie. There's nothing – underline that – nothing wrong
A Dust of SnowSnow was the great purification. All of the dark places of the land dotted with coated trees were blanketed by mother snows cold hand. The earth was softer in winter, in white. It was sleeping soundly beneath the coverlets where only wolves, rabbits and deer went tuttering by leaving their trails and magic.The girl's cheeks had long turned chill-burnt red, polished and bright as two crisp autumn apples. They burned in the pale of her skin in the moonlight. In some other time, her lips as red as hearts and her hair as dark as raven's wings might have stirred a poem. But the eerie mingling of fear and desire glass coating her brown eyes made her seem a mad, mad straw creature than a beauty.The snow was deep and it bit to the knee, sometimes keeping her stuck in place. Frostbite tingled, a small sting at first and now a sharp bite in her feet; fingers. Her mittens had been swiped by a lashing pine, a boot kept by unforgiving drift. Her dress cold and wet.These things
Secrets - A Dark Flame Story Some say Gale City is the worst place to live in the whole United States. I've been living here since I was two years old. Considering I'm ten now, I guess that's not a long time, but eight years is usually long enough to get to know a place. Before I was placed in Gale—and I can really remember that far back—I used to live in Chicago. My mom and stepdad and four sisters lived in a two bedroom apartment in the projects. It was clean and we had food to eat. The problem was that dad always needed money to pay for the "junk." Back then, I never understood why anyone would want to buy garbage. I now know that junk doesn't mean trash, but it is garbage, and people pay through the nose for it. Maybe you're wondering how a kid can know so much. Well, in Gale you learn to know or you end up doing something bad—and ten years old is too young to die. I've always picked up things fast, and I don't even watch t.v. that much. Bobby Brali and me
The McKinnons' CatWhen the McKinnons moved out from next door, they left their cat behind. Nobody really blamed them. The thing was an enormous fat tabby female which stank and had fleas. It was, more importantly, a vicious killer. Usually it lived on a diet of songbirds, but it would catch and kill mice, rats, other people's pets and whatever rare little furry creatures it could find. Nobody really bothered to feed it after the McKinnons left, but it didn't grow noticeably thinner. I never knew its name, but my dad always called it "you BASTARD, get the HELL out of my garden."Not long after the McKinnons moved out, Miss Timmons moved into their old house. She was old, tiny, grey, timid and mouse-like. When she spoke, it was in a little excited squeak. When she went to the shops she moved in quick, darting movements and when she stopped to talk to me in the street she twitched constantly like she couldn't
It Had To Be FrogsSunday, October 13th, 2013. Helwan's Circle. It rained frogs.Of course, it had to be frogs. Serena stepped over them as best she could, but they were everywhere. It wasn't the kind of thing you expected to see in smallish town America. One or two, maybe. Any more than that and you're wading into witch burning territory.Serena really didn't want to wade into witch burning territory."What seems to be the problem?" Serena asked, "Aside from the frogs."Mrs. Caprica wrung her hands---Serena had never actually seen anyone do that. Truth be told, she'd rather not see it again. The woman had probably been wound too tightly even before any of this happened."We just wanted a baby," she said."And you tried to invoke...""Heqet," she said, "She's Egyptian. Ancient Egyptian, I mean.""I know who she is," Serena said, as gently as she could. The frogs were staring a little too intently."I followed the bo
