His one true love MUST be saved. Reeeeeach! The clock was ticking. Time was running out. It can't end like this.
"Shauna, supper time!" and I would jump out of my skin, a violent reminder of reality.
She would just shake her head and marvel at why I would be gasping for air and clutching my heart.
Do you remember those days when you'd become so engrossed in 'play' that you'd lose all track of time and space? I do.
I remember using pieces of Styrofoam from our new TV or dishwasher to build a Barbie penthouse suite in my bedroom closet. I even had a swimming pool with real water. Oh, the adventures and drama we would have there. Weddings and parties, friendship and heartache, danger and heroism. drama, drama, drama.
When was the last time you lost yourself in play like that?
This week, Erwin has been in Australia visiting Raelynne and attending the Hillsong Pastors Conference. He's been gone and we've been on school holidays, using the downtime to revisit ALL of the old movies that the kids loved when they were little. OK, not all of them, but a LOT of them. Disney movies, musicals, adventures, originals and remakes. It's been the best fun going down memory-lane.
Last night, we watched the new movie called "Boss Baby." Have you seen it yet? You know how the boy's imagination turns a normal living room into outer space, or a race track, or the wild west?
Car chases, sword fights, exploring, adventures… I remember them playing like that!
Can we get back there again? I don't know. But I suppose it starts when we stop the busyness long enough to engage, and feel, and imagine.
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME THIS HOLIDAY?
Tell a story, write a story, act out a story.
Build a fort, a sandcastle, a mud pie.
Draw a picture, paint a portrait.
Write a song, create a musical.
Or make a piece of art (even if the only tools you have are marshmallows, Teddy Grahams, and wooden skewers).
My book is available on Amazon and Kindle.
And yes, you're gonna LOVE it!
For more info, check out the book page here! In South Africa, you can also order a physical copy from me. Send me a personal message and we'll make arrangements.
Every Friday, I join an inspiring group of writers to write for FIVE MINUTES on a one-word prompt. No editing. No revising. Just WRITE. This week, the prompt word was PLAY.
For more information on Five Minute Friday, check out the Five Minute Friday website!
Hi, Julie! So nice to meet you.
Thanks so much for visiting! Have a wonderful week!
Here's to a summer of more engagement and uninterrupted play. Loved your post today. Visiting from #FMF I'm #31 this week!
Hope you had a great week 🙂 Heading over to read your post now.
Great post, Shauna…and as someone who never learned to play (life got too serious too fast) I'm grateful for your lifting the veil, so to speak, that I could see what I missed.
You described the feelings so well!
Thanks, Andrew! I'm so glad I could take you on a little journey of imagination and creativity.
I'm going to take my liberties here… Today, I'm praying that Father would allow you to dream some PLAY tonight. That the pain would disappear for a few hours and that He'd play with you to your heart's content. No more adulting. Just childlike wonder.
Sending much ♥ to you and Barb (and the dogs).
Yessss! I give you permission to stop adulting for a while 🙂 haha!
But only if you share some of your limericks here too! Bring it on!

POLICE have confirmed that the male who died after falling from the roof of the Wyvern car park on Thursday night was 17 years old.
Emergency services were called to the scene at 9.30pm and attempted to treat the man. However, because of the injuries sustained he died a short time later.
Several of the nearby roads were closed as a cordon was put up around the area for a short time while enquiries into the circumstances of the incident were carried out.


NBA | Have Game? Will Travel!
We had to drive to AT&T Park so we could drive across the Bay Bridge on our way to Oakland for the Golden State Warriors game. Since we had time before the 6 pm tip, we stopped for dinner at Everett & Jones BBQ in Jack London Square. This was the same restaurant we ate at on October 1, 2003 in between Giants and Athletics divisional series playoff games.
In a miraculous turn of events, I felt somewhat ok when I woke up Sunday morning for my 8 am flight to Oklahoma City. This was a day that could have turned into a disaster. I was flying solo with the Ultimate Sports Baby to Oklahoma City Sunday morning, attending the Thunder game at noon, then flying back to Chicago Sunday evening. Not many people would take their nine month old son on a trip like this but I had no choice but to continue at this point.
It was supposed to be a quick trip to Dallas and Oklahoma City. The schedule was perfect. Fly Saturday morning to Dallas, attend the Dallas Mavericks game Saturday night, fly to Oklahoma City Sunday morning, attend the Oklahoma City Thunder game Sunday afternoon and fly back to Chicago Sunday evening. Of course, that was my plan alone. Then Nicole somehow convinced me to take the Ultimate Sports Baby with me – "it's a short trip just like you said"…"plus he flies free". I fell for her argument.
April is one of the best times of the year to attend sporting events. You can attend a different sport every day. Consider my last four days. On Saturday, I attended the Final Four. On Sunday, I went to the Chicago Blackhawks game. Monday, I was at U.S. Cellular Field for MLB Opening Day. And tonight, I went to the Chicago Bulls game – four different leagues in as many days.
With the wife traveling to Miami, OH this weekend for a synchronized skating competition, I chose to visit my parents in San Francisco – the less of two evils. I had a free ticket on Southwest Airlines to use by May 11 and this was the best weekend to use it.

Context: Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease involving skin and peripheral nerves. It is present in different clinico-pathological forms depending upon immune status of the host. This study has been conducted to know the correlation between clinical and histopathological diagnosis of leprosy. Polar group gives good clinical and histopathological correlation while borderline groups show discordance between clinical and histopathological diagnosis.
Aims: To study the clinical and histopathological features in patients of leprosy and to find out the correlation of clinical diagnosis and histopathological diagnosis.
Setting and Design: Prospective, Observational.
Material and Method: The study was carried out in the department of dermatology at a tertiary care centre of Gujarat for a duration of 3 years from November 2012 to November 2015 after ethical clearance from institutional ethics committee. All the patients who were suspected as leprosy clinically were enrolled in a predesigned proforma after written informed consent and were subjected to histopathological examination.
Results: A total of 119 patients were enrolled in which the majority of patients were in the age group of 20-40years 57(47.89%). 77(64.70%) were males and 42(35.29%) were females. Maximum number of patient clinically belonged to tuberculoid leprosy in 31(26.05%) cases. Histologically, tuberculoid leprosy was the most common type in 32(26.89%) cases. Maximum clinico-histopathological correlation was seen in IL (100%) followed by TT (83.87%), BL (63.15%), LL (56.25%), BT (27.58%) and minimum in BB (0%). Overall concordance of diagnosis was seen 53.78%.
Conclusion: The histopathological features in leprosy indicate the accurate response of the tissues while the clinical features indicate only the morphological changes due to underlying pathology. Thus, it is logical to expect some disparity between the clinical and histopathological features. The classification of leprosy requires attention to the histopathological criteria and correlation with clinical information so as to facilitate accurate therapy according to proper treatment category and to prevent undesirable complications.
Keywords: Leprosy, clinical features, histopathology.

WILMINGTON, NC – The New Hanover Regional Medical Center Foundation is scheduled to host its 20th Annual Pink Ribbon Project Luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 5, from 11 am until 1 pm at the Wilmington Convention Center. Proceeds from the event support NHRMC Foundation's efforts to provide free mammograms and diagnostic services to underserved women in the area as well as comfort bags to newly diagnosed cancer patients.
This year's event will feature New York Times best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand. Known as "queen of the beach novel," Hilderbrand has written 17 novels, 11 of which are New York Times best-sellers. Her novels have all been set on and around Nantucket, MA, where she lives, and the stories in her books cover many topics, such as domestic abuse, tested friendships, health scares and more. As a breast cancer survivor, she speaks about overcoming life's challenges and being a symbol of strength and success.
The event will include a sit-down meal, participation in the purse auction, and an opportunity to meet Hilderbrand following her address. Women attending the luncheon, who are 40 or older and need to schedule a screening mammogram, will be able to arrange an appointment with representatives from NHRMC Health & Diagnostics.
Tickets to the luncheon may be purchased online at www.nhrmcfoundation.org or by calling the NHRMC Foundation at 910.667.5002.
Since 1998, The Pink Ribbon Project has raised more than $2.1 million through the support of community partnerships, individual donations, and events. The organization has provided more than 7,400 comfort bags to local women upon diagnosis as they undergo treatment for cancer. The Pink Ribbon Project also funds mammography screenings for women in the region who do not have health insurance or financial resources, as well as follow-up diagnostic procedures for those who receive a suspect mammography result.
For more information regarding Pink Ribbon Project events or to learn how you can help, visit www.nhrmcfoundation.org or call the NHRMC Foundation at 910.667.5002.


On Tuesday afternoon, 170 children from Year 3 up to Year 6, participated in the Prep School's Spring Concert, held at Pittville Pump Room.
The children presented an incredible 26 pieces throughout the afternoon, with the preparation and hard work of the pupils reflected in their great performances.
Year 5 opened the concert with a charming rendition of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love", followed by our Year 4 classes showcasing what they have learnt this term on the violin. There were then a number of solo performances before the Year 3 Choir came on stage to sing "Make your Spirit Fly".
There was a selection of impressive piano playing to enjoy, with seven pupils from Years 5 and 6 playing pieces including Mozart's "Sonata in A Minor", C.H Wilton's "Little Sonata" and a very impressive piano duet from two of our pupils (one in Year 5 and one in Year 6) who played perfectly in sync with one another.
The huge range of musical opportunity at St Edward's was on show, from guitar and drums to cello and clarinet, many musical genres were covered with pupils playing a whole range of musical instruments.
Our afternoon of entertainment concluded with performances from three of our choirs. First, the Year 6 Choir sang The Jackson 5's "I'll Be There", then the Prep Choir sang The Beatles' "Blackbird" and finally our Boys Choir performed a powerful rendition of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good".
We are extremely proud and grateful to have such hard-working, musically talented children, making the most of the many opportunities at St Edward's to improve their musical ability and excel on their chosen instruments.

Lori McKenna Unglamorous
By Claire Marie Blaustein
Straight out of The Coal Miners Daughter, mother of five Lori McKenna suddenly finds her home-written songs being performed by Faith Hill and bam, her recording career is off like a shot. This release is her fifth, but a first with major distribution. There are some instances where the lush production of the now well-funded project seems a bit over the top and overall, it features the familiar sound of well-crafted pop country, but the songwriting sets it apart. The songs exude simplicity and creativity in equal measure, a mix of the autobiographical and the invented, with tales of love, loss and all the complications of life. All are accompanied by McKenna's powerfully unassuming voice, which is pretty but in an approachable, conversational kind of way. The simpler tunes stick with you, especially "Your Next Lover," which showcases her words and direct delivery. It's a series of simple and truthful statements summed up by title track's chorus: "No frills, no fuss. Perfectly us. Unglamorous." This is so wonderfully unglamorous that each song rings in the heart as well as the ears. (Warner)

Is Rorschach bulletproof?
In the movie Watchmen (2009) in the first Rorschach scene, he stumbles upon two policemen.
One policeman shoots from a very short distance at him. We can see that Rorschach is very close, as the blaze of the gun is visible on his mask, and we can assume that the policeman has no trouble aiming at him - Rorschach doesn't move and the policeman does not change the position of his gun when firing (so I assume he doesn't have to correct his aim).
How is it possible that Rorschach does not get hurt after several gunshots? He might be wearing a bulletproof vest, but this would make him look bigger and not so agile.
If he's not bulletproof - why would he risk getting severely hurt (or killed)?

Officially...no. – Paulie_D Dec 22 '16 at 10:29
Just to give the cop the benefit of the doubt, it was a dark apartment at night and he put down his flashlight. – Walt Dec 22 '16 at 15:58
No, he's not bulletproof.
This confrontation with the police wasn't in the original graphic novel. There, Rorschach finds the Comedian's hiding place, lays out everything on the ground, releases his trademark "Hurm", and the next page cuts to Rorschach ambushing Nite-Owl at his house to inform him of the Comedian's murder.
Rorschach is the son of a prostitute who dons the mask to scrawl his own moral design on a world of cowards willing to watch their neighbors raped and murdered. Nobody shoots at him in the original graphic novel (even when the police later capture him, they dog-pile him instead of firing), and it's likely that if anyone did, his crime-fighting career would have a sadly realistic and anti-climactic end. In the comic, his only action that might count as superhuman is being able to survive Antarctic temperatures wearing only a trenchcoat. Otherwise, he's a totally ordinary guy — just tough as nails, extremely tactical, and a good street brawler.
How is it possible that Rorschach does not get hurt after several gunshots?
Zach Snyder's a director who values visual style over realism. His rendition of Batman in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice has a memorable scene where a cop catches Bats branding a criminal, then shoots at him with a shotgun no less than four times while he somehow dodges with superhuman reflexes.
I'd chalk this one up to Rule of Cool. It's not the sort of scene Snyder means for you to question, though it does look bizarre.
Well, the Batman example is interesting, but not much of a point either if we consider that he probably wears a ton more body armour than Rorschach. – Napoleon Wilson♦ Dec 22 '16 at 14:40
That's true. At a later point, Bats gets shot multiple times without any ill effects. youtube.com/watch?v=MyVPh3Usrho But in the video from the answer, I'm referring more to how he seems to literally outrun the shotgun. It struck me as visually satisfying but fairly absurd. – user36795 Dec 22 '16 at 15:11
Doesn't really answer the question..... – user25738 Dec 22 '16 at 17:08
Okay, let me make this clearer. No, he's not bulletproof. – user36795 Dec 22 '16 at 22:18
Batman didn't dodge, the cop was a a babyfaced rookie, scared, and can't aim right. He aimed at where batman was, not where he was moving to. He didn't even shoot his partner, missing. The cop was not a crack shot. But I digress, Batman has nothing to do with Watchman. Well, you know what I mean. – cde Dec 22 '16 at 22:39
No so. He's wearing a trench coat, and many bulletproof vest are easily hidden under a large coat. He could have one, or even something made by Nite Owl II (like his grappling gun), but no. The Rorschach wouldn't wear one.
Because the Rorschach has a death wish. Which is why he doesn't wear armor, or use a gun liberally. Why he has no problem taking on multiple people at a time. He wants to die, but doesn't want to commit suicide. This is also why he doesn't flinch at the cop aiming at him.
So given that he doesn't have armor, how did he survive? The cop simply missed.
Look how dark this apartment is. And it's movie dark, in real life it would be much darker. You can't barely tell where Rorschach's legs and arms are, outside of the flashlight. Once the cop puts down the flashlight, he's basically aiming blind. He misses. Rorschach gets confirmation that the cop is useless, so he jumps and moves on.
Also keep in mind that Rorschach is a legend, a myth, a boogieman in the masked hero world. The cop was scared. His partner was hurt and a murderous vigilante is standing at a window staring him down. Later in the film, 5 cops freeze up when they see Rorschach.

Would someone help me on an explanation of this. I have a Canon 20D.
How to do it or why to do it?
Stephanie, are you asking how you do it or why? As a Nikon shooter, I can't tell you how but for why -- 1) when your camera is mounted on a tripod and you want to minimize all camera vibration, or 2) when you need to clean your sensor.
The SLR (single lens reflex) design solves many problems encountered in camera operation. The chief advantage is freedom from parallax error and the ability to focus critically while composing. Formally all cameras had a viewfinder, actually a separate optical system used to aim the camera. The viewfinder view is good for composing when the subject is distance and nearby. It's accuracy fails at very close subject distances. Stated another way, the viewfinder view changes the position of objects as compared to the actual picture taken. The SLR design uses the exact same lens taking lens to form the composing image. This is accomplished by deflecting the light rays by means of a mirror. The mirror is hinged and motorized, it is caused to fly out of the way to take the picture and fly back so the photographer can continue to see the scene. The action is quick; you might say the camera "winks". This quick winking movement mimics the reflex action of animal and human eye blinks. The quick shudder of the mirror cause vibrations which can induce blur at slow shutter speeds. Serious photographers, doing technical work, sometimes compose and then lock-up the mirror for the actual shot thus avoiding unnecessary internal vibration.
Technically the lens distance from the film or digital chip is about equal to the focal length of the lens. Thus telephoto lenses are long lenses set forward of the camera body while wide angle lenses are situated very close to the film or digital chip. The point within the lens, we measure from, is called the rear nodal. In modern lenses this point falls somewhere near the middle of the lens barrel. However if a super wide angle lens is mounted it might be that the rear lens element is too close to the mirror and thus will interfere with the mirror or many break the mirror when mounted. The countermeasure is to lock the mirror up to allow the super wide angle to be mounted.
Most modern wide angle lenses are often an inverted telephoto. They act like looking through a binocular backwards. This design is called a retro-focus. This design forces the rear element forward and away from the mirror.
On your 20D, go to menu, find mirror lock up, turn it on. Then, on the top of the camera turn on your 10 sec timer. Put your camera on a tripod. Compose/focus your picture. Push the shutter release, that will lock the mirror up and you will no longer be able to see thru the eyepiece. Then push the shutter release a second time to turn on the timer. Step away and wait. The shutter will release after 10 secs and you will not get any camera vibration from the mirror going up when the image is recorded.
Alan N. Marcus Bob, the preferred response is not "Holy Cow", it's "Kawabonga" I know this to be a true fact having learned it from Chief Thunderthud on the Howdy Doody. Bob, everybody knows that.

Kingsbury Offers Something for Everyone
Kingsbury is an area of Northwest London in the region of Brent, and sprawls west to Queensbury, and areas of Kenton, and Wembley Park. The postcode area is NW9. Kingsbury means The King's Manor and was once a village. It was cruelly affected by the Black Death, and more or less abandoned until a new one grew around Kingsbury Green in the late 19th century. The 1900's it experienced major development and quickly became an independent area. In 1920 it saw the introduction of Neasden station which made connections to other parts of London easier. With this, the population increased dramatically during the next few years. From this the metropolitan railway was constructed with links from Wembley Park to Stanmore, and the underground in Kingsbury Green was opened in 1932. The largest road in the area is the A4006 - the Kingsbury Road. After WW2 most of the original Victorian houses were destroyed, and new developments and housing estates were built to cope with the rising population in the area. The area has a good combination of suburban areas, high rise apartments and a wildlife country park for recreation.

Cemetery Riots Celebrates Start of September; It's About Time Galley Received
September 3, 2016 in Horror, Romance, Science Fiction, Writing, Zombies
Tags: Awol From Elysium Press, Haitian Zombies, Horror, Main Street Rag, Science Fiction, T.C. Bennett, The Writing Life, Time Travel
It was delayed a couple of months, but, originally listed as published in June, CEMETERY RIOTS (see July 6, et al.) has made its mailbox debut today. It looks worth the wait too, a handsome volume and with an A-list of writers adorning the contents — among whom, it would appear, is me. The cover's subtitle is "A Collection of Dark Cautionary Tales" and, true to this promise, my entry is "The Re-Possessed" in which it is found it is not a good thing to stiff (to pardon the expression) an undertaker with friends in the right places. If you haven't gotten a copy of CEMETERY RIOTS already, more information can be found here.
Today was also the first day of the weekend's local arts fair, of which the Bloomington Writers Guild's Spoken Word Stage is a part, and in which I will have a reading Sunday, but more on that later. For today's, or more properly late yesterday's contribution to The Writing Life we will go instead to Main Street Rag Publishing which, after a brief false start (an attachment sent for a different book), has sent galleys to proofread for IT'S ABOUT TIME (cf. August 12, June 29, et al.), though I may not get to them till Monday, Labor Day. My story in this one is a reprint, originally published in THE FICTION PRIMER, December 1988, about a man who discovers his true love in (ahem!) a timely fashion. For more information on this one press here.
Contract Sent Back for Cemetery Riots; Proofs for How to Trick the Devil On Their Way

Two short updates for "the writing life" — the little things that are done between selling the story and seeing it published. Yesterday, with admirable speed, the contract and payment (on acceptance, also admirable!) arrived from T.C. Bennett of Awol From Elysium Press for CEMETERY RIOTS (c.f. August 27), the latter of which went to the bank today while the former, signed, went into the mail. Then also today Stephanie Buosi of Erebus Press sent this concerning HOW TO TRICK THE DEVIL (see August 16, 8): "In the next upcoming days I will be sending you back your edited short stories. If you could take a look at them and get back to me with your approval as soon as you can, I would greatly appreciate it. I will be sending them as a .docx file, please let me know if you would prefer to receive it as .doc instead. Also, I am still waiting for author bios from a few of you. If you have not already done so, please send me your brief bio, 200 word maximum, sometime by next week."
The stories in question are "Lobster Boy and the Hand of Satan," a contemporary tale of carnival grifters originally published in CYBER PULP'S HALLOWEEN ANTHOLOGY 2.0 (Cyber Pulp, 2003) for HOW TO TRICK THE DEVIL, and for CEMETERY RIOTS the heretofore unpublished Victorian-set story of "The Re-Possessed."


The Bottling Department is 5,500 square feet of ramen, succulent porchetta, kolaches and more.
It's the trend that never ends and the gift that keeps on giving: food halls!
The city of San Antonio—home to the Spurs, the Alamo and Best New Chefs Diego Galicia and Rico Torres—will finally have a sprawling food hall to call its own, starting in mid-July.
Say hello The Bottling Department, the latest renovated patch of the original 18-acre Pearl Brewery recently transformed into a hotel and dining hub. There are five food vendors, plus wine and beer curated by local favorite High Street Wine.
Ramen: Former Hot Joy chef Quealy Watson is slinging ramen at Tenko, where you can order spicy miso tonkotsu and Japanese-Texas snack mash-ups, like barbacoa gyoza with togarashi salsa ranch and fajita karaage with black pepper ponzu.
Porchetta and Rotisserie Chicken" Cookhouse and NOLA Brunch & Beignet's power couple Pieter and Susan Sypesteyn are bringing a bit of the South to Bud's Southern Rotisserie with their meat-focused spot and lots of candied yams, cornbread and jambalaya.
Doughnuts and Kolaches: Of course, you can't open a bakery without the Central European pastries in Texas. Charlie Biedenham, Anne Ng and Jeremy Mandrell of Bakery Lorraine offer the standby kolaches, doughnuts as well as fried pies and locally roasted Merit coffee at Maybelle's.
Burgers: Short rib, chuck and brisket make up the patties at Fletcher's from chef Sergio Remolina, previously the director of Latin Studies at the Culinary Institute of America's San Antonio campus. Plus, there are 100 percent Texas Akaushi beef hot dogs and milkshakes to wash it all down.
Healthy Options There will be yogurt parfaits layered with granola, summer squash and ricotta paninis and more healthy fare at The Good Kind from chef Tim McDiarmid, known affectionately as Tim the Girl and for her meal delivery program.

Dr. Li created ImageNet, the foundational, large-scale image database for academic researchers and educators across the world. In her lecture, Dr. Li will describe her career path, her discoveries and innovations, and her advocacy for developing and applying artificial intelligence for the betterment of humanity.
As exemplified by Dr. Li, there is no shortcut toward developing transformative technologies; it requires deep expertise and knowledge of a field applied to a question of major importance. It was with this in mind that I also invited the four Presidential Special Lecture speakers.
Presidential Special Lectures: Applying New Techniques to Longstanding Questions
"There is no shortcut toward developing transformative technologies; it requires deep expertise and knowledge of a field applied to a question of major importance. It was with this in mind that I also invited the four Presidential Special Lecture speakers."
Each speaker will illustrate the power of integrating foundational, rigorous basic research with inspired new technologies and a lot of creativity to address major outstanding questions about nervous system function.
Paola Arlotta, Harvard University, is motivated by her long-standing interest in the cellular and circuit level instructions underlying mammalian brain functions such as motion, emotion and intelligence. Building from her extensive understanding of the mammalian cerebral cortex, Dr. Arlotta has applied a number of unique approaches to explore the mechanisms that regulate neuronal diversity and cell-identity reprogramming. In "Understanding Cortical Development and Disease: From Embryos to Brain Organoids," Dr. Arlotta will present exciting findings utilizing a range of model systems, and incorporating contributions of neurons and glia, to capture essential features of human cortical function in health and in disease.
In "The Cell Biology of the Synapse and Behavior," Daniel A. Colón-Ramos, Yale University School of Medicine, will illustrate the power of C. elegans to provide fundamental insight into synapse formation in a living animal and how these events serve as the substrates of behaviors and memories. Dr. Colón-Ramos incorporates his deep expertise in cell biology and C. elegans biology toward an integrative and insightful understanding of how specific synaptic connections and cells — both neurons and glial cells — generate and maintain complex behaviors on the background of a constantly changing environment.
Valentina Emiliani, Vision Institut (CNRS, INSERM, Sorbonne University), a physicist and neuroscientist, pioneered techniques to enhance microscopy-based imaging so critical for recording neuronal activity in the intact brain. Dr. Emiliani has leveraged her unique expertise to identify and address gaps in technical capabilities necessary to address profound systems-level questions about how the brain captures and integrates information and executes actions. Her lecture, "Wavefront Engineering: Illuminating the Neural Landscape," will illuminate the power of 3D optogenetics and computer-generated holography for in vivo brain imaging.
Adrian Krainer, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, is an expert on cellular mechanisms that regulate RNA processing in cells. Applying his extensive training in biochemistry and knowledge of alternative RNA splicing, Dr. Krainer and colleagues developed a new therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the leading genetic cause of death for infants. In his lecture, "From Base Pairs to Bedside: Antisense Modulators of RNA Splicing to Treat Neurological Diseases," Dr. Kainer will highlight the path of discovery of one of the most exciting antisense therapies for a neurological disorder and how outstanding basic research is the path toward human treatments.
"No country has the monopoly on science and creativity — it will take all the talent in the world to advance neuroscience toward improving humanity. "
Neuroscience 2019 has so much excellent and inspiring science on display at the poster session, being presented in symposia, and emerging from discussions throughout the convention center and beyond. The opportunity to connect with colleagues both old and new, and to hear the most current research in neuroscience today is unmatched in a single venue. I continue to be inspired by the annual meeting — the creativity in neuroscience, the range of disciplines and techniques represented, and the contributions from scientists who are attending the SfN annual meeting for the first time and those who will celebrate their 49th meeting in October.
This year, Neuroscience 2019 also marks the official launch of the Society's 50th anniversary with special lectures and events that honor our community's history of discovery and that look toward what we might know in 2069. As you scan the Preliminary Program, take note of the enormous range of opportunities and the 50th anniversary celebratory lectures and symposia. Start planning your schedule to make the most of an amazing week of neuroscience research and celebrations. One way you can become a part of this landmark event it to share photos of your lab, research, technologies, and yourselves from the last 50 years to exemplify the breadth of our field, the collaborative and global nature of neuroscience, and the progress we have collectively made in advancing knowledge and discoveries in neuroscience.
Neuroscience 2019 will also recognize our colleagues who are unable to travel to the U.S. due to restrictive travel policies. The Science Knows No Borders Program cannot substitute for attending in person, but we must give our colleagues a voice to present and to be heard. Excellence in research depends on a community that embraces open science, open minds, rigor, and collaboration. No country has the monopoly on science and creativity — it will take all the talent in the world to advance neuroscience toward improving humanity. I look forward to connecting with you at a lecture, on the poster floor, or during one of our socials and learning more about your science and what is inspiring you this year. See you in Chicago!

Q: Dynamic dropdown list in the jsp I have a dropdown list which is dynamic so how can I iterate and insert the list values in the dropdown list?
var questionids = {"Name", "Age", "Smoker", "Drinker", "Visit Denist"};

<select name="questionid" id="questionids">
<c:forEach var="questionids" items="${questionids}">
<option value="">${questionids}</option>
</c:forEach>
</select>

I tried as mentioned above. it is not working. Also I need the value of each option should auto increment like, For first option value is 1 and second option value is 2. e.t.c
Can any one please suggest the solution please

A: This is right approach but you have to give another name to var in <c:forEach> like below:
var questionids = {"Name", "Age", "Smoker", "Drinker", "Visit Denist"};

<select name="questionids" id="questionids">
    <c:forEach var="questionid" items="${questionids}">
        <option value="${questionid}">${questionid}</option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

A: <% java.util.HashMap map = new java.util.HashMap();
map.put("0", "Name");
map.put("1", "Age");
map.put("2", "Smoker");
map.put("3", "Drinker");
map.put("4", "Visit Denist");
pageContext.setAttribute("map", map);
%>

<select name="questionid" id="questionids" >
    <c:forEach items="${map}">
        <option value="${items.key}">${items.value}</option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

A: <select name="questionid" id="questionids">
</select>

You can build select using javascript dynamically. You may want to use arr value as option value. If you want to use increment you can create a arr and loop them.
    var questionids = {"Name", "Age", "Smoker", "Drinker", "Visit Denist"};
//  var valuesArr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
    $.each(questionids , function(i, e) {
        $('#questionids').append("<option value='"+e+"'>"+e+"</option>");
//      $('#questionids').append("<option value='"+valuesArr[i]+"'>"+e+"</option>");
    });

Kamelot @ B.B. King Blues Club (8/19/2007)
October 5, 2007 Ken Pierce Leave a comment
Kamelot is the always impressive in the live and recorded sense Melodic Power Metal band that had made me a hard core fan a couple of years ago. Their appearances at B.B. King Blues Club are always memorable and tonight's appearance brought along Leaves Eyes. To learn our thoughts and see images from the show just scroll past the logo below.
Artist: Kamelot
Opener: Leaves Eyes
Label: SPV Records
I was definitely excited when news that Kamelot would be returning to New York City was announced and it was made even better by the appearance of Leaves' Eyes as the group's sole opening act for the area's show. I admit that there are times when I enjoy the bringing together of several different bands but for this one in particular I was quite cool with only having the two to watch. I felt that this would guarantee a slightly longer set from each band and also allow the audience to remain focused on the night a little easier without too many other things to worry about. I had also been to a number of shows in a row where it was five bands each time so I needed a little bit of a breather, in as much as a Kamelot show allows me to actually rest. In my humble opinion, Kamelot is probably the best at delivering Melodic Power Metal in today's vastly shifting music scene, and while I have been one of the newer listeners to their stuff they continually manage to impress me time after time. I first caught them during the initial leg of the tour that supported "The Black Halo" and at this time I had only just reviewed the CD but like many who have been before and after me, this is a CD that snares you and keep you as a fan going forward. The guys headed off for Europe after this and ended up recording a live CD and DVD which they called "One Cold Winter's Night", a title which is actually a line from "The Haunting (Somewhere In Time)" and the release would find the band returning to the US and NYC especially. The blockbuster show found them with Epica in support, and yes you are correct, they are named after a Kamelot release. The two shows found the band performing in front of capacity crowds at the famous Times Square venue B.B. King Blues Club & Grill, so it made logical sense that for the new album "Ghost Opera" that the guys would once again be sure to hit the Big Apple in proper style. Here is how the night went down in case you missed it.

"Legend Land" by Leaves' Eyes
January 19, 2007 Ken Pierce Leave a comment
Artist: Leaves Eyes
Title: "Legend Land"
Label: Napalm Records
Genre: Gothic Atmospheric Metal
Picking up where "Vinland Saga" left off, we find the return of Leaves Eyes and their latest EP "Legend Land". The six song release offers five new tracks along with an additional version of the title track in an expanded form. This EP is a must-have if you already like the group for it follows seamlessly in the same patterns as their excellent predecessor to it. The themes of Viking lore most prevalent once again but still remain fresh courtesy of the lovely Liv Kristine, whose melodies are enchanting as always. The title track is a powerful number and also features Alex who handles the Dark vocals in this Beauty and the Beast vocal styled band and again he delivers the point and dramatics to the songs as necessary. Musically there are few bands who sound like Leaves Eyes, despite their being one of many female fronted Metal groups. There is a deep Gothic sense, but also a lot of Atmosphere and with Kristine singing about Vikings and her native Scandinavia there is a sense of Folk to the whole presentation. One cannot say that they are another Nightwish or Epica or Within Temptation as Leaves Eyes stands very clearly on their own feet with their own accomplishments to support them. While I would have preferred a full album from the group there is nothing bad that I can say about this EP as every song provides a level of enjoyment and made the release a repeat play on the changer time and time again. "Legend Land" is a good track on its own but "Skraelings" is a very interesting number in the way the rhythms pound and then slow down on turns and use all sorts of vocal styles. "Vikings Word" is a decent number but my overall favorite would be "The Crossing" as this possessed a little of all the feels one finds in this band.

Blind Guardian @ B.B. King Blues Club (11/30/2006)
December 18, 2006 Ken Pierce Leave a comment
Artist: Blind Guardian
Label: Nuclear Blast Records
I think that when it comes to Metal shows and possible places to play that the numerous aspects of the genre and B.B. King Blues Club go hand in hand. After covering almost every show that was worth seeing for the Metal side, it made for a perfect closer to my own attendance here in 2006 as I found myself preparing to see the one and only Blind Guardian. The majesty of this band and their impact on Metal music made it a fitting end for this outlets coverage, as they are one of the truest and strongest holders of the banner in this genre. The band's absence from US touring for some years made this a must see performance and the event would sell out quickly and with ease – those who were not paying attention months in advance were surely to be left begging someone to get them in tonight. Supporting the tour would be another new favorite of mine, the band Leaves Eyes that hails primarily out of Germany. Here are some thoughts on the show and the vibe of the night.

Leaves Eyes were one of the many bands performing for a tour labelled as "The International Extreme Music Festival" and lucky for us it made a stop at C.B.G.B.'s on the Lower East Side. That full show was documented in a narrative found on THIS LINK; Now please enjoy a gallery of photographs that were captured from their performance.

Leaves Eyes @ C.B.G.B. (10/4/2005)
Artist: Leave's Eyes, Atrocity, God Dethroned
Venue: C.B.G.B. (New York, NY)
Opener: Hell Within, Mantiss, Lilitu
With an event called the "International Extreme Music Festival" and the venue of choice to be the recently newsworthy CBGB's I knew that this was to be one of those interesting nights. The tour looked to be a nice lineup of some very heavy groups and I think it originally started with about 9 acts before the show hit NYC. Among the listed on ads the following performers were run down as follows: God Dethroned, Byzantine, Nightrage, Hell Within, Epoch Of Unlight, Thine Eyes Bleed, Lilitu, Atrocity and Leaves Eyes. My plan was primarily to cover the Leaves Eyes and Atrocity set as I had just reviewed "The Vinland Saga" CD on the site and found it to be an incredible piece of music. I also enjoyed some of God Dethroned material and Nightrage was a band a colleague has been talking up. There was an early start time based on the number of bands set to perform and this did not bother me in the least. I had to attend to something's the following day and that would prevent the all-nighter coverage this evening. By the time the show hit NYC Nightrage had pulled off due to unconfirmed reasons and Thine Eyes Bleed and Byzantine were no longer listed. Instead we would find Mantiss added and the roster set at 6 bands. God Dethroned would be holding the headlining spot. I was not sure whether or not this was a good idea as while they are popular I felt that Leaves Eyes would be the biggest draw tonight. I also felt that legendary or not, that CBGB was a poor choice of venue, it would be too cramped if this sold out and cause a lot of people to be turned away. This would not be an issue tonight as sadly poor promotion left the draw at an extreme minimum. Arriving on time to do an interview with Leaves Eyes I found them over an hour away stuck in traffic according to the Tour Manager. When I spoke to several girls who were diehard Liv Krull fans they expressed concern as appearances earlier had been cancelled. It was nice to be able to inform them that while they were late; they were in fact on the way.

(By American Zen's Mike Flannigan, on loan from Ari.)
OK, so now in a reprise of June of 2009 when blood literally ran down Tehran's streets, our president is once again, no pun intended, Tut Tutting the violence and chaos that's essentially replaced the Egyptian government. Egyptians are so hostile toward authority figures that they're literally ripping the heads of Pharaoh mummies and otherwise looting or vandalizing their national treasures.
The very fact that the violence is escalating and that the protesters are winning proves that saturnine Obama calling for restraint and siding with a tyrannical, oppressive regime such as Mubarek's makes the leader of the free world look about as effective as a junior high school cafeteria monitor during a food fight.
If nothing else, the metastasizing unrest and bloodshed (at least 74 Egyptians have been killed since this week's riots) puts our government in an extremely uncomfortable, and untenable, position. As stated earlier, Obama is forced to stick with his man Hosni despite the fact that Africa's one superpower is among the most brutal, barbaric and oppressive nations on earth, the kind of sadistic dictatorship to which the Bush administration turned when it wanted to extraordinarily rendition terror suspects.
In other words, Egypt these past 30 years has no more resembled a democracy than post-Soviet Russia. At the risk of oversimplification, a vote for Egypt is a vote against democracy. Hosni Mubarek had literally turned off the internet, shut down al-Jazeera while revoking press credentials, sent troops onto the streets to kill at least 74 protesters, place Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mohamed elBaradei under house arrest and fired his entire government while naming a puppet as his "successor", thereby officially making Egypt a one man dictatorship. Yet Obama still stands by his man at a time when even his own son wouldn't, even flying in the face of a fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
The desire for democracy across the Middle East and North Africa these past two weeks, if nothing else, had brought into razor-sharp focus our ongoing hypocrisy as regards democracy. Our pious platitudes about democracy, belied by years of deadly adventurism across Latin America from the 50's to the present day, ring hollow. We'd rather support one dictatorship after another in the Middle East as long as they momentarily ally themselves with the United States' War on Terror.
Here's a something else that's huge that ought to be getting more play in the media: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is actually encouraging the protesters in direct contravention to Obama's "policy" of noninvolvement. In fact, as long as Obama chooses to remain saturninely detached from these proceedings as if they really don't involve the United States, then Mrs. Clinton's hands are tied. It's telling that Clinton, in direct and almost unique contravention to a president whose policies she is constitutionally bound to support, is instead supporting the unrest in Cairo and elsewhere while her immediate predecessor, Condi Rice, had called for Egypt to move closer to a democracy. If that doesn't put Mrs. Clinton and Dr. Rice on the same page, it certainly puts them in the same chapter.
In short, what's happening in Cairo is actually fragmenting our government so that now our commander in chief and secretary of state are at stark odds with each other.
For all its massive faults and foreign policy failures, it had to be said that the Bush administration was at least cognizant that Egypt had nothing than a mere sham of a democracy and, however lazily or timidly, attempted to make some inroads toward effecting that.
To listen to the Obama administration, the unrest in the Middle East and northern Africa doesn't really affect us or our foreign policy but it's impossible to see how this will not involve a necessary paradigm shift from Foggy Bottom to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
This ought to force the Obama administration to rethink its foreign policy priorities both for our present nation as well as the generations of Americans and presidential administrations to come. If you need a predictor of how disastrous it is for one administration to blindly and stupidly take up the initiatives of the previous one, look at Obama's very insistence on supporting the dying dictatorship in Egypt, look at Iraq, look at Afghanistan and tell me how Obama has improved things in those geopolitical arenas.

Good credit cards can often be a needed lifeline when there is a financial problem. Do you wish to pay for items, but don't have the cash to do so? That is not a problem. Pull out your credit card, and you will be on your way. Are you looking for a way to improve your credit history? You can do this with a credit card! Read on to learn of more ways to properly utilize a credit card.
Before closing any credit card, understand the impact it will have on your credit score. Many times closing an account can lower your credit score and will show up negatively on your credit report. Also, try to keep the cards open that make up the majority of your credit history.
Go over the fine print. Make sure you know exactly what is being offered in that pre-approved credit card before you take advantage of it. Know the percent of your interest rate, as well as the length of time you will have to pay for it. Make sure to find out about grace periods and fees.
Many card issuers offer signing bonuses when you apply for a card. Make sure that you understand everything that is written in fine print since many credit card companies have specific terms you need to adhere to in order to get bonuses. Commonly, you are required to spend a particular amount within a couple months of signing up to get the bonus. Check that you can meet this or any other qualifications before signing up; don't get distracted by excitement over the bonus.
It is good to keep in mind that credit card companies are not your friends when you look at minimum monthly payments. They set minimum payments in order to maximize the amount of interest you pay them. Make payments beyond what your minimum payment is set at. Avoid costly interest fees over the long term.
Be sure to study your credit card terms closely prior to making your first purchase. Credit card issuers will generally interpret the use of the credit card as an acceptance of the credit card agreement terms. The print might be tiny, but you need to carefully review it.
Resist the temptation to loan credit cards to people. Even if a close friend needs to use one, don't do it. This can lead to your friendship being ruined. Or it can result in over the limit charges should your friend charge more than you authorized.
A good thing to remember is that you should not immediately make a credit card payment after you make a charge. Instead, pay off the balance when the statement arrives. Your payment history will look better, and your credit score will improve.
As you can tell, credit cards may be used for many things. They run the gamut from paying at a store to increasing a person's overall credit score. By using what you've learned here, you will be able to use your card to your advantage.
Going to a place to get a car is a little exciting and can be intimidating as well. Learn all you can ahead of time, and you will be much more likely to pick a car that fits your family's needs. Use the advice offered below to help you with your car-shopping endeavors.
Never get a car for its full price. That usually isn't what the salesmen will expect of you anyway. Bring a haggler with you if it's not your forte. You should be sure that you know what a fair price for the vehicle is beforehand so you know what you are willing to pay.
Car shopping can be exciting and stressful at the same time. You really can get a good car and enjoy the process if you learn a few pointers ahead of time. Commit the tips included here to memory and go forward without stress or anxiety.
If you are an iPhone owner, you are aware that feature far more power and functionality than other mobile phones. But, you also know that there is much to learn about your iPhone. Look through the contents of this article to see what you can learn about iPhones and how to use them to your advantage.

Tea is the worlds second most consumed beverage, behind water. To make a cup of tea, however, one needs water. Recently I met up with a good friend who is also a customer of PMD. We sat down at his house and he brewed up a cup of our Silver Tips.
While observing him prepare the tea, I noted that he followed all the correct principles in brewing tea. The tea was also stored in an air tight container. I was taken aback by the final taste in the cup. It was missing something. After a long contemplative think, I realized what was missing from the cup.
When ever we taste tea at the company and at home, we use bottled water. This is because the water in London is very hard and calcified. The best water to use for tea is soft water. Some individuals who are reading this will be lucky enough to get very good quality water straight from their tap. Unfortunately, for me I have to rely on bottled water.
We brewed the same tea again, but this time with bottled water. He was amazed by the greater depth and flavour that he was now able to experience with the same tea leaves.
Many of you are purchasing quality tea but if you truly want to experience all the depth and flavour of the tea – you need to consider the quality of the water being used fo brewing.
If you're OCD (obsessive-compulsive) like me you might even want to invest in a kettle that is only for brewing bottled water. By making this restriction, you avoid any lime scale build up in your kettle.
To further highlight the importance of water quality we dedicated an episode to this on episode #004 of the PMD Tea Buyers club. Brew your favorite teas in different waters and tell me if you taste and see a difference. I would be interested to know.

Beastie Boys, Michael Jackson Get SiriusXM Channels
Plus, Queen, Bob Marley, Coldplay, and the return of a channel dedicated to Prince
SiriusXM has announced six new, limited-run artist channels. Starting today, July 15th, at 12 pm ET, you can moonwalk to Michael Jackson, fight for the right to Beastie Boys, rock yourself to Queen, pass the dutchie to Bob Marley, and politely nod to Coldplay songs 24 hours a day. As if these new channels weren't enough, SiriusXM is bringing back its dedicated broadcast honoring the Purple One himself, Prince.
In addition to studio discographies, each channel will be stocked full of live performances, interviews, track-by-track commentaries, and celebrity guest DJs.
In particular, The Beastie Boys Channel features playlists from Talib Kweli, Rosie Perez, Michael Rappaport, and more, while the Michael Jackson Channel will be voiced by journalist and author Steven Ivory, who can presumably be counted on to stick to Jackson's less-controversial exploits.
The Queen Channel includes the iconic Live Aid performance and a stacked roster of guest DJs, including Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins, as well as Catherine Zeta-Jones. Coldplay Radio promises the band's "Live in Technicolor" series, and song selections from Dua Lipa, Beck, and Demi Lovato.
Beastie Boys Channel, The Michael Jackson Channel, The Queen Channel, and Coldplay Radio all run through July 21st.
Meanwhile, the Prince Channel makes its resplendent return with guestwork from the likes of Maya Rudolph and Naomi Cambell. The doves will keep crying through July 28th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the channel with the chillest name and most relaxed timeframe is Bob Marley's Tuff Gong Radio. It's sticking around through August 15th, with songs from the Wailers and the whole Marley family, and guest spins by Jack Johnson, Carlos Santana, Michael Franti, Big Boi, and Cypress Hill.

Currently, SiriusXM is offering a $1 introductory rate for three months, after which it costs between $11 and $22 a month. Previously, the broadcaster has dedicated channels to David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppellin, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and The Rolling Stones.
In April, Taylor Swift launched her own SiriusXm radio show, Hits 1 n chill. Meanwhile, Bruce Springsteen's quarantine radio program has become a platform for his political activism: he aired a powerful radio program in tribute to George Floyd, and used another show to tell Donald Trump to "put on a fucking mask."

Theatre season is game on with plenty of shows opening this week, as well as an improv festival.
Opening this week is Broadway musical Ain't Misbehavin' at the Segal Centre.

Expect sultry songs and sass in this celebration of the era that put the Cotton Club on the map. Segal Centre (5170 Côte Ste-Catherine), Oct. 1–20, tickets start at $29
Meanwhile, in the Segal Centre studio, Sedna: Goddess of the Sea recounts Inuit myth through storytelling and multimedia. Written and directed by Jessica Abdallah, the gory tale rivals any by the Grimm brothers. Sedna's father cuts her fingers off as she clings to the side of his kayak. The dismembered digits become the seals, walruses and whales. Sedna sinks to the sea bottom and transforms into the mistress of the ocean. Unable to comb her own hair, she can only be quieted when a shaman dives into the ocean and untangles the knots. Segal Centre Studio (5170 Côte Ste-Catherine), Oct. 1–6, 8 p.m., $17.25
The Centaur, meanwhile, opens its 45th season with The St. Léonard Chronicles. This highly anticipated comedy by award-winning playwright Steve Galluccio focuses on a young St. Léonard couple. Terry and Robert plan to move out of their newly renovated duplex to Beaconsfield. Who knew the West Island was such a hotbed of iniquity to those living on the other side of Decarie? Italian relatives lose their cannolis at the news, revealing that three generations of family clash in amusing and familiar ways. Centaur Theatre (453 St-François-Xavier), Oct. 3–Nov. 3, 8 p.m., $26/$34/$42.50
Pulitzer Prize finalist Adam Rapp's Stone Cold Dead Serious opens at Espace 4001.

Mom's got Jesus fever and works as a waitress 18 hours a day. Heroin-addicted Sis has run away to live at the Y, where she's picked up some new "friends," and syphilis. Luckily, young son Wynne has a gift for martial-arts style video games, and he intends to pocket the hefty prize winnings of a New York live-gaming competition in which he is a finalist. With the cash, he hopes to send Sis to rehab, Dad to a doctor and Mom to a new line of work. Best of all, they can eat at Sizzler every night! Rapp's ear for dialogue is poetic and snappy at the same time. But, mainly, his plays are well known for their journeys into the absurd. Trust me, this one goes on quite the journey, and samurai swords are involved. Espace 4001 (4001 Berri), Oct. 3–12, 8 p.m., $12/$15
Hip.Bang!

How to Crash a Killer Bash
A Party Planning Mystery with Presley Parker by Penny Warner
Review: Alliterative party planner Presley Parker has organized a murder mystery party at a gala fund raiser for the de Young Museum in San Francisco when the murder victim actually becomes a murder victim in How to Host a Killer Bash, the second mystery in this series by Penny Warner.
Dead is the museum's major fund-raiser and philanthropist Mary Lee Miller. When she greeted Presley just before her murder, "she wore a pink Chanel suit and matching stiletto heels that would have made killer weapons. Peeking out of her pink Coach bag was a teeth-baring, pink-ribboned purse-pooch. A pit bull wrapped in a poodle's clothing? The metaphor fit both the dog and woman." Unfortunately, Presley's friend and part-time co-worker Delicia "Dee" Jackson is found over the body with a knife its back, and is prime suspect number one. It's not much of a stretch: during rehearsal, Dee had recreated the Psycho scene in which the victim is repeatedly stabbed with a knife and her portrayal of the killer was quite authentic to all who witnessed it. Having previously had a run-in with the SFPD Chief of Police, Luke Melvin, who takes charge of the investigation, Presley decides to do a little investigating on her own in an effort to clear her friend of murder.
When the author seems to have had a bit of fun writing a book, that usually translates into a lot of fun for a reader reading the book. Such is the case of How to Host a Killer Bash. It's really hard not to like a book that advises in its opening line, "When planning a murder mystery party, make sure you don't use real weapons as props. They may be too tempting for some of the guests." The characters in the mystery party that serves as the setting for the real murder not only have imaginative names — Nancy Prude, Valley Girl Detective; Hercules Parrot, Blustery Belgian Detective; and the like — but the Alphabet Detective, Kutesy Millstone, is played by a man in drag. The whole premise is entertaining, and that carries through the entire book. The murder mystery plot is not overly complex, but it doesn't need to be. How to Host a Killer Bash is exactly what a modern cozy should be: light and playful, a little romance mixed with a little mystery, and thoroughly enjoyable start to finish.
