Tricks, Treats, and Travel
ETA: Randomizer has spoken and the winner of an Arc of HAUNTED BY YOUR TOUCH is Melissa from Books & Things! Melissa's comment was: "Pathetically not doing too much. :P Hopefully reading an ARC. ;) (hey, it was worth a try lol). ~Melissa (Books and Things)"
Yes it was worth a try, because Randomizer chose you. Congrats! Please email me at frostlight1 AT yahoo DOT com with your full name and shipping address. To everyone else, thanks for playing, and hope all of you have a wonderful Halloween, whatever you're doing :).
This blog is going up late because I've had one of those days where every time I try to sit down and write, something comes up that needs my immediate attention. In my last post, I talked about how one of the things I love about October is the continual presence of horror movies on TV. Another thing I love is, of course, Halloween. Normally my husband and I spend All Hallow's Eve handing out candy to trick-or-treaters and watching - you guessed it! :) - horror movies. This year, we're doing something very different by celebrating Halloween weekend in New Orleans. I've got my gothic vampire costume all ready for the Memnoch Ressurection Ball hosted by the Vampire Lestat Fan Club, plus I intend to go on some haunted tours of the French Quarter, tour some of the famous cemeteries, and of course, eat beignets (it should be a crime to go to New Orleans without eating beignets, if you ask me). I can't wait. New Orleans has long been one of my favorite cities, and getting to visit there during one of my favorite holidays is a huge Travel Treat for me.
Things can't be all smiles all the time, sadly. Hearing case after case of censorship involving reading material in high schools has been pretty upsetting. I think most people agree that parents have the right to decide what their own children should or should not read. Parents who want to decide what everyone else's kids should or shouldn't read based on - often - no firsthand knowledge of the book itself (because they've never read it, or in some cases, the book hasn't even been written yet) however, is depressing. Making only strictly sanitized books available to teens under the pretext of "see no evil = speak no evil = no evil will ever happen to these kids!" just doesn't seem like a logical formula. I know evil happens even in "nice" areas, and even if it is never spoken of. Another author blogged about how her children attend a school where school shootings are purported to be nothing more than media-led myth. Columbine? Didn't happen according to many of these students. But sadly, pretending unpleasant things don't exist doesn't form a protective shield over anyone (if only it did). Censorship is a Trick, all right, and it's a nasty one played on students, teachers, and parents in areas where access to books or knowledge is restricted based on the uninformed opinions of a few instead of the knowledgeable consensus of many.
Back to more pleasant subjects. New Orleans isn't the only place I'll be traveling to this month. On Wednesday I leave for New York, where I'll be attending ComiCon. If you're in the New York city area and you're interested in meeting me, please check out my schedule . In addition to the panels and the signing, you'll also find me trying to score an autograph from Bruce give-me-some-sugar-baby! Campbell, and Diana Gabaldon, just to name a few. Lots of awesome people will be at ComiCon, so hope to see some of you there!
And I'll close this blog with a treat. Leave a comment telling me what you're planning to do this Halloween, and I'll enter you in a drawing for an Arc (advance reading copy) of the HAUNTED BY YOUR TOUCH anthology, releasing October 26th. My story in this anthology is set in a new world of demons, partial demons, and fallen angels. Shayla Black and Sharie Koehler also have wonderful paranormal stories in HAUNTED BY YOUR TOUCH. Winner will be chosen by Randomizer, and international entries are welcome. Be sure to leave your name, because it's hard to pick "anonymous" as a winner. Contest opens now and closes at 9:00am tomorrow EST. Hey, I'll be leaving soon, that's why the short deadline for entries. I'll edit this post to announce the winner tomorrow, so check back here. Good luck, everyone!

This Halloween I'll be taking my son, he's five, out trick or treating and then curling on the couch with all of his "good (read: chocolate) candy with the hubby and watching something cheesy. Something with Christopher Lee perhaps.
Oh, little boy wants to be a knight. A vampire knight. Mommy's so proud!

We're probably in the middle of a move around Halloween, but we hope to have time for a small Halloween party with pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie.

I will not be celebrating Halloween, because Halloween doesn't get many attention in The Netherlands. But we have Sint Maarten, on November 11th, when children go from door to door, sing and get sweets.
But I would love to win a book! :)
- October 4, 2010 at 1:47 PM
My daughter is too old to go trick or treating this year so her Anime fan club members from both school and the library are coming over for a Halloween Party!! Cheesy horror movies and scary Anime!!! They will be having a costume contest and handing candy out!!

I am going to be running a Writing Workshop in the morning with a focus on haunted writings! In the pm, I am going to be on a radio show for my local College entitled "The History of Horror Television and Media."
Once I get home, it's treats and eats and pumpkin sweets!

I will more than likely be stuffing my face with candy and watching horror films! Since the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street comes out this week and I haven't watched it yet I may just save it for Halloween.
I have to add that I am oh so very jealous that you get to meet Bruce Campbell! I adored him as Ash!! I'm not sure if you watch it but he's hilarious on Burn Notice. In my opinion he steals the show.

I'll be taking my 19 month old son, 4 year old nephew, and 12 month old nephew trick or treating, followed by a candy binge (they can't eat all of that candy by themselves, right?) and watching a few scary movies.

I'm from Argentina, so we actually don't celebrate Hallowen. But, we are teens and we use it as an awesome excuse to hang out and get fun. The little ones usually wear costumes but the celebration don't have the same magnitude here. Personally I like the story of the original holloween, not what people celebrate now. I mean, is like more comercial, another way to sell merchandise. However, is a great opportunity to release new things.
Anyway, I don't know if I wrote everything in the correct way... I would love to win.. hehehe!

I love Halloween and we celebrate all month long. Already me and my spawn have baked cat shaped cookies, spooky cupcakes and made chocolate spiders. Everyday we do a new craft. Next week we are going through a haunted hayride and picking a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch.
Then the week of Halloween we'll go to a reading of Poe stories (my spawn are 3 and 6 and already in love with all things creepy) Boo at the zoo and on the Night itself we will hit the street and Trick or Treat.
then at 10 friends will join us for a circle where we will peer beyond the veil and see what the next year brings as we honor the dead.
I hope you have a truly awesome Hallowed Halloween

Have fun Jeaniene!!! Wish we could be doing something that awesome too, but we will enjoy our favorite holiday anyway:) We'll be enjoying pumpkin bread, sugar cookies and krispy treats I make every year, and some Chipotle, while watching our fave horror movies and doing things that require we leave the porch lights off *wink* hehe
- October 4, 2010 at 1:58 PM
I will be going to Franklin St, in Chapel Hill, NC. Thousands of people dress up and go downtown to walk the street and look at all the costumes. It is a lot of fun.

I am going on a ghost hunt with some friends of mine. It's in a beautiful old city in Michigan. We always try to hit a great old building on Halloween. It's a grand time!
- October 4, 2010 at 2:00 PM
ever since I got married and had a kid of my own I have gotten to see the fun in Halloween. Growing up my whole life was nothing but Censorship. I NEVER got to go trick or treating. So I Love getting all dressed up now (even as an adult) with my 4 year old. After we walk the neighborhood. I will be having a dress up party with friends and Family. With fear factor games and such. Halloween is my fav. holiday of the Year!!

we wil go trick o treating around the lake. They close it off with road block so you can only walk around. The houses around the lake are heavily decorated. They give out candy and some of the houses make their homes to haunted house. One year they had a maze in the front yard. They made you go through it to get candy. Super fun!

I would love to have an ARC!
My plans for this Halloween are to spend it with friends. We have our NaNoWriMo kick off party as well as our separate Halloween party the same weekend. It should be a lot of fun! I'm trying to figure out what to dress as, and if I should dress as the same thing to both parties...
- October 4, 2010 at 2:10 PM
I will be taking my two girls trick or treating. Hopefully it won't be too cold. Most of the time their costume is covered up by heavy jackets.
- October 4, 2010 at 2:10 PM
- wildlower said...
Waking up with probably a headache after a night of Halloween parties (since Halloween is on Sunday). Then pouring myself into my car and picking up my mom's neighbor for an afternoon of bingo! Then that night handing out candy to any children brave enough to walk down my street.
- October 4, 2010 at 2:13 PM
Sadly, we don't get many trick or treaters because we live in an apartment. I'll be having some wine, reading my tarot cards, and watching something spooky with my husband.

One of my friends is turning 21 the night before Halloween, so we're probably going to be celebrating her birthday! I know we're also planning on going to this awesome haunted house nearby. They have a mirror maze and clowns with chainsaws! Creepy, but loads of fun!

In Greece we don't celebrate Halloween -but I spent last year in London with flatmates who were Irish, Scottish AND American (strangely enough, no English in the mix) and we had the most amazing Halloween. Well, it was my first Halloween ever so I guess anything would look amazing to me... But it *was* pretty awesome so I intend to continue the fun now that I'm back home and introduce my 13 and 15 yo cousins to it as well.
My pumpkin-carving technic is not that good (I managed to destroy not one but two pumpkins last year) but we will decorate the front porch with un-carved pumpkins, we'll bake cup-cakes and we'll spend the night in front of the fireplace with stories about Baba-Yanka (in case you don't know her, Baba-Yanka is a Russian witch very popular in Russian fairy-tales. I discovered her existence when I was going through my international folklore phase and kept searching for stories from around the world; both my cousins were just todlers back then and I used to put them to sleep with Baba-Yanka's stories. Their mum even bought a witch doll made of wood and put it on the fireplace, that's how enthralled with her the kids became). Anyway, even though there is no trick-or-treating for us on the horizon nor are horror movies (if the kids watch horror movies they won't sleep for a month), I'm really looking forward to it. Story-telling, a fireplace and cup-cakes, what more to ask for! :D

Since we moved outside the city limits and we have a 200' driveway...we don't get any trick or treaters, so I will pack up my treats and head to my old neighborhood where I can sit with my friend, see all the latest in ghoul-wear foe the younger crowd, and hand out goodies for the goblins. Can't wait! Muahahahaha!

This year I will be taking my fiance's 11 and 7 year olds out trick or treating then will spend the rest of the evening after they're in bed watching scary movies to celebrate his birthday!

I don't have children to take trick or treating but I do have pups that I love to dress up (they don't like it, but they put up with it for a few minutes, lol!) and I will probably end up throwing a small Halloween party on Saturday night. I love Halloween, and have been buying new decorations for the past month!

Usually, we go trick and treat then have warm apple cider and pizza. This year we been invited to my step daughter house for trick and treat block party.

In Hungary we don't have the tradition of trick or treating at Halloween; and only the younger generation accepts it and celebrates it occasionally. On Halloween I make apples with sugar coating and invite my best friends over to watch the funniest "horror" movies and we have fun.

I haven't really done anything for Halloween in ages. This year I wanted to go to New Orleans for a Club Hell get together hosted by Adrian Phoenix (Maker's Song series fyi) but my bf and I weren't sure my car would make the trip and we can't afford airplane tickets. *sigh* Halloween is on a Sunday so that means no work for me (yay) but I have no clue what will happen, maybe go out w/ a couple friends who love Halloween or something. lol I'm indecisive.

This year my youngest is dressing up as a vampire, my oldest is dressing up as a fairy, and my middle child is dressing up as a soldier. I will probably dress up as well, and take them trick or treating while my husband passes out candy. When we are done we will all sit around and watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show. LOL Love It!!!!!!!!

This year will be a special Halloween for us as my granddaughter turns one year old. So we're having a big dress up party for all her cousins. We plan to do all the traditional things since there will be older children at the party. Then after we do that all the cousins are going door to door trick or treating in the neighborhood. I'm excited for them all 10 of them to be together for the first time ever.
Take care, Chrissie Adkins

Oh New Orleans on Halloween sounds like so much fun! And NY ComiCon too!
Can I tag along in one of your bags? =D
Let's see, this Halloween we are taking the kids to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, SW's Spooktacular,the pumpkin patch sometime soon of course, planning a small kids party at the house in a week or two and then on to trick or treating on Halloween night. And the Friday before we are going to an adult Halloween party which is going to be so much fun, I love dressing up! We just put up our decorations yesterday. I believe Halloween should be a month long celebration. There's just too much fun stuff to fit in one day! LOVE LOVE LOVE this time of year.
Have a fun and safe trip!
And a wonderful month to everyone!

Hi ya! Great blog! You hit some really relevant points about censorship and I couldn't agree more.
Now onto fun stuff! This Halloween I'll be attending my friend's annual party. However, I have no idea what to dress up as this year. I love making my own costume, but I'm all out of ideas.
I am especially looking forward to meeting you at Comic Con. Have a great trip to my home town - the big apple!

unfortunetely we don't spend halloween in greece.
but because i've heard so much about it and it has become my favourite i decided to honnor it by watching 3 horror movies with my best friend and eat candy until we can't take no more.
KEEP THE SPIRIT NO MATTER WHAT, right??
(thought in a different case, if i did spend halloween -surprise,surprise- i would be hiding in the bushes, waiting to scary the lil' monsters that told me my costume was rediculous and took all my candy.see who laughs after that(no worries.I'm lust joking-even though it's tempting...)

I've always loved Halloween because I was born the day after, but this year because of finances, I can't afford to buy treats to give out. So I plan to keep the lights off and watch movies on TV and I won't be decorating outside. Hope you have fun in New Orleans Jeaniene, sounds like you should have a great time.

I grew up in Colorado and I remember Columbine. It was real and I agree it's not something that should be swept under the rug. My step daughter recently moved in with us and she loves books like I do. I censor only books that I know have explicit sex scenes. Her best friend isn't even allowed to read Twilight because of it's sexual content. The poor girl is forced to sneak books home and hide them under her bed.
For Halloween we'll be avoiding the Trick-or-treaters. I know, I know, but the kiddos in our neighborhood don't understand that when the porch light is out we're out of candy. So we take the puppies and the family to do something fun. Usually a festival or drive in. I spent last Halloween in NOLA. Definitely wish I was there again.
- October 4, 2010 at 6:16 PM
We will be leaving the kids with a babysitter and will be going to a costume party with some friends. This is my first costume party so I am very excited! I LOVE Halloween!

I hope some little witches and ghosts come by for candy this year. Last year, a number of houses on our cul de sac were empty so the street was very dark and most of the kids skipped us (more candy for me!) but I really wanna see all the cute costumes this year.
Oh, Haunted by Your Touch comes out on my birthday! I guess it's on a Tuesday this year! Lol.

Alas, we don't celebrate Halloween in Australia. However, I decided to start a tradition with the girls at work! We're playing poker (texas hold-em), and having sexy man-waiters bring us drinks and snacks :)
- October 4, 2010 at 8:11 PM
I'll actually be staying home and handing out candy to the little nipperkin.
- October 4, 2010 at 8:14 PM
Hi! For Halloween, it will be my cousin's 25th surprise birthday party and we're planning on making it a kind of masquerade/costume party (details are still to be determined, lol).
I'd love to win a copy :)

Not quite sure what I'm doing for Halloween yet. I know that I will be costumed. Last year my Disney Club walked around the campus singing Disney songs on Halloween. It was a hoot.

I'll be spending Halloween tick or treating with the kiddies. Then we'll come home, hand out some candy to other trick or treaters and then the husband and I will probably spend the night watching scarey movies :)

My fifteen-year-old is abandoning us to go trick-or-treating with her friends. Such a shame, they grow "too cool" too fast. We'll be taking the twelve-year-old around with our dog in a pair of pink fairy wings. She doesn't even notice the wings but we can't keep the tiara on her ^_~

Usually, I do nothing for Halloween. But this year I'm hoping for a lot more, which includes dressing my dog up in a hot-dog costume and hopefully going trick or treating myself, though I'm 21. If all else fails, I'm hoping for a costume party, just without candy.
- October 4, 2010 at 8:54 PM
Let see..... for Halloween I am going to give out tons of candy to all the little ghosts and goblins that come to my front door....
- October 4, 2010 at 9:04 PM
- Mandi said...
We bake creepy sugar cookies and I have all the neighbor kids and parents over for cider and doughnuts. Plus treats for everyone. Then we go trick or treating as a big group and just have a good time. Which usually means scary the older kids every chance we get. Plus I got silly string to get them this year. LOL.

For Halloween my family gathers at my mothers house for dinner. Then we take the kids to a carnival. Followed up by trick-or-treating up and down the neighborhood. Afterwards we get home and pass out candy to the kids that are still out and about.

Part of me would love to spend the weekend in NOLA, with my hubby and friends (since it is my hometown.) But it's become more a holiday for my little ones than for me. So I'll spend the evening escorting a pirate princess and Robin the Boy Wonder through our neighborhood, as they collect WAY too much candy.
Hope you have a fabulous night with the grown-ups!

I will be with my favorite online people discussing our weekly Sunday night BC (I saw a couple who posted above me). Earlier that night, I will be escorting Cartman around to gather candy (yes, my 9-year-old wants to be Cartman and no I do not let him watch it).
- October 4, 2010 at 9:40 PM
Halloween is my bday so every year I try to outdo myself but this year I think Ill just settle for dressing up with the kids for our annual festival. My daughter is popcorn, oldest son is coke and 5 year old will be the black spiderman. Guess that means Ill have to go with old faithful (which of course means sexy vampire mom/money dispenser/candy holder)

- October 5, 2010 at 12:28 AM
This Halloween I will be dressing up-not sure as what yet- and will be attending a few parties hosted by friends. My favorite part of this time of year is pumpkins so I usually plan more about what I'm going to carve my pumpkin into than the costume but I'll have to think of an idea soon! Happy Halloween everybody!!
- October 5, 2010 at 12:45 AM
The hubs and I will take our 3 year old around the neighborhood. Some of our neighbors set up pretty awesome haunted houses so it's a fun evening, and this is the first year our boy picked his own costume.

Halloween, quite possibly my favorite holiday. Who doesn't love all the trappings that comes with it? Spider webbing, cute ornamental gravestones to decorate the front yard and fake blood oozing down my door's window pane with Freddy Krueger laughing jolly homicidal bliss on the television. So needless to say I love decorating my house and scaring the jeepers out of all the little ones that come to my door, squaling in mock terror...music to my ears! LOL So that's what I'll be doing, handing out candy! (And a few scares!)

I love Halloween! Best holiday of the year! So first and foremost, on Halloween I will be celebrating 12 years married to the most wonderful man in the world! Then we will be taking our kids, son almost 7 who will be Batman and daughter 3 who will be a vampire princess (so proud she wanted to do that). Hopefully sometime before that me and the kids will make sugar cookies with the new cookie cutters I got with a tombstone and haunted house. They want to do them for their classmates. I don't want this month to end! Oh, almost forgot will be attending a live performance of Dracula!

I always make my husband decorate a haunted gingerbread house with me. Halloween isn't celebrated in Dubai and we have a Sunday-Thursday work week, so I'm organizing trick-or-treating for my coworkers and their families on the 28th.

Same thing we do every Halloween, Pinky... try to take over the world. Okay, not really. Our oldest friends have a huge costume party every year with different themes. Last year, the theme was "Guilty Pleasures" so hubby and I dressed up like Dog and Beth the Bounty Hunters. This year it's "retro" and... we have no idea. I'm thinking maybe sperm and egg. How much more "retro" can you get? :P
- October 5, 2010 at 11:38 AM
It kinda is a sad thing that I can't spend my Halloween this year as I love to, which means watching horror and going to the Halloween carnival.
But the reason is a good one, I'll be made preases (chairman, well chairwoman in this case:) ) of my student-horsebackriding association that evening! I hope to it with a set of vampire teeth in though :D
- October 5, 2010 at 12:29 PM

Hi Jeaniene,
I will be leaving on the 26th to arrive in New Orleans and attend the UndeadCon and the Vampire Memnoch Ball also. This has been a tradition for me for awhile now.
What better place to be on All Hallows Eve. I will be doing the Vampire tour as well as the Haunted Houses and Cemetaries tour. Who knows maybe we will meet on the tours or have Cafe Ali's and Beignets together. Happy Halloween everyone and remember be careful out there, you never know what force you may run into.

Oh, Halloween use to be so much fun.... Dressing up, trick or treating...But now...
it is put a bowl of candy outside the front door with a note that say please take one or two... Don't ever go to the door anymore... The dogs don't like the knocking and door bell ringing... What a sad little halloween life I have.... :(
But winning a book would make it all better... I am 100% positve about that.... ;)

Download>> Notific Pro v5.1.4 Apk | 1 MB | Resumable Links |
Requires : Android 2.0.1 and up |
What's in this version :
- • Minor bug fixes
- • Easily direct reply to all chats in Whatsapp by separate notifications for every contact. (Android 5.0+). Enable
- disable this settings under "Reply Settings"
- • Double tap to sleep option in AndroidWear theme (4.4+). Settings under "Others"
- • Lots of interface improvements and legacy theme colors fixed for Android 5.0+
App Review:
It will automatically turn the screen on and display your notification in an easily accessible tabbed dialogue. It will also show notification quick action buttons if expansion is enabled.
If the phone is in pocket, don't worry. Notific is intelligent enough to understand that and will not turn on the screen. But if you take out the phone from your pocket within 10secs (customizable) it will turn on the screen for you.
Version 2.0 comes with a new Android Wear inspired theme (4.4+), in case you don't like the dark HOLO style.
Notific doesn't impact battery life as it will only use the proximity sensor for 10 secs.
The memory usage is highly optimized (2-10MB) and doesn't use 50MB+ as in other notification apps.
The multitude of notifications we get every day are probably the most sensitive information for some and these deserve the utmost privacy.
That's why Notific comes with absolutely no private data mining. No crash data, No Google analytics collection.
It doesn't require connecting to Internet, so you can be sure that there's no way your information goes out of your device.
The app is in active development and will get frequent updates and lots of features are in pipeline, including privacy mode and themes.
Proximity sensor values are calibrated for Nexus devices by default. If you have problems with the sensor on Galaxy or Xperia devices, try calibrating the sensor from app settings or TurnOff Pocket Mode

Though I tried to cover lot of things, there are definitely few things, which I might have missed; please let me know if you have any question or doubt on java.lang.String functionality and I will try to address them here.
if you compare name and name_1 using equality operator "==" it will return true because both are pointing to same object. While name==name_2 will return false because they are pointing to different string object. It's worth remembering that equality "==" operator compares object memory location and not characters of String. By default Java puts all string literal into string pool, but you can also put any string into pool by calling intern() method of java.lang.String class, like string created using new() operator.
You can also check my earlier post difference between equals() method and == operator for more detail discussion on consequences of comparing two string using == operator in Java.
As expected indexOf will return 0 because characters in String are indexed from zero. lastIndexOf returns index of second "Java", which starts at 23 and matches will return true because J.* pattern is any String starting with character J followed by any character because of dot(.) and any number of time due to asterick (*).
11) Character Encoding and String
Apart from all these 10 facts about String in Java, the most critical thing to know is what encoding your String is using. It does not make sense to have a String without knowing what encoding it uses. There is no way to interpret an String if you don't know the encoding it used. You can not assume that "plain" text is ASCII. If you have a String, in memory or stored in file, you must know what encoding it is in, or you cannot display it correctly. By default Java uses platform encoding i.e. character encoding of your server, and believe me this can cause huge trouble if you are handling Unicode data, especially if you are converting byte array to XML String. I have faced instances where our program fail to interpret Strings from European language e.g. German, French etc. because our server was not using Unicode encodings like UTF-8 or UTF-16. Thankfully, Java allows you to specify default character encoding for your application using system property file.encoding. See here to read more about character encoding in Java

FRITZ!Box 7430 Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with another DSL modem
With a ADSL or VDSL modem from another manufacturer, you can use your FRITZ!Box even if it does not support the DSL standard used by your internet connection.
Since the FRITZ!Box establishes and controls its own internet connection over the modem, all FRITZ!Box functions (such as internet telephony, firewall) are also available without restriction in this operating mode.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Connecting the FRITZ!Box to the modem and computer
- Connect the modem to your internet connection according to the instructions provided by your internet service provider.
- Use a network cable to connect the LAN port on the modem to the "LAN 1" port on the FRITZ!Box.
- Either use wireless LAN or a network cable to connect a computer to the FRITZ!Box.
2 Configuring the internet connection in the FRITZ!Box
- Click "Internet" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Account Information" in the "Internet" menu.
- Check whether your internet service provider is displayed in the drop-down list. With some regional settings, not all of the preconfigured internet providers are displayed until you select "More internet service providers".
- If your internet service provider is displayed:
- Select your internet service provider and enter the account information you received from your internet service provider in the corresponding fields.
- Click "Change connection settings".
- Enable the option "Via an external modem" in the "Internet connection" section. If the option is not displayed, enable the Advanced View.
- If your internet service provider is not displayed:
- Select "Other internet service provider".
- Enable the option "Connection to an external modem or router" in the "Connection" area.
- Enable the option "Establish own connection to the internet" in the "Operating Mode" section.
- Enter the internet account information you received from your internet service provider in the relevant fields. If account information is not required, enable the option "No".
- If your internet service provider requires you to use a particular VLAN ID, click "Change connection settings", enable the option "Use VLAN for internet access", and enter the VLAN ID.
- Enter the speeds of your internet connection in the "Downstream" and "Upstream" fields.
- Click "Apply" to save the settings.
Now the FRITZ!Box uses the account information you entered to establish the internet connection. Then you can configure your telephone numbers in the FRITZ!Box and connect your wireless devices with the FRITZ!Box.
3 Setting up telephony in the FRITZ!Box
If you received login data for internet telephony from a provider and want to use telephones with the FRITZ!Box:
- Configure the internet telephone numbers in the FRITZ!Box.

Game 83: Toronto at New York pregame
Second baseman Aaron Hill
Hill gets his first All-Star selection thanks to his peers. Well deserved. It would've been a shame for him to miss out on the Midsummer Classic just because his particular position is stacked with talent, especially in the bigger more publicized markets. Through 81 games, Hill has hit .297 with 19 homers (club record for second baseman) and 56 RBIs. His 105 hits were the second-most in the Majors and he ranked first among all second baseman in hits, homers, RBIs and total bases (175). This after missing much of last season with a serious concussion.
Jays ace Roy "Doc" Halladay
Halladay heads to St. Louis for his sixth All-Star appearance. The only question is whether Toronto's ace will be honored with the start. Through 16 outings, the good doctor has gone 10-2 with a 2.79 ERA and three complete games. Even with two weeks spent on the DL in June, Halladay is tied for the most wins in the game and his 116 innings mark the sixth-highest total. He has 98 strikeouts against 17 walks and has induced an American League-high 193 groundouts. Doc's 1.09 WHIP is the third-best among AL starters and he's averaged just 14.1 pitches per inning.

Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure Americas Border
Jan Brewer
|About the Book
Sometime after dark on March 27, 2010, Arizona rancher Robert Krentz was found dead next to his four-wheeler on the grounds of his ranch on the Arizona-Mexico border. Krentz and his dog, Blue, had been missing since that morning. They were last heardMoreSometime after dark on March 27, 2010, Arizona rancher Robert Krentz was found dead next to his four-wheeler on the grounds of his ranch on the Arizona-Mexico border. Krentz and his dog, Blue, had been missing since that morning. They were last heard from when he radioed his brother to say that he'd found an illegal alien on the property and was going to offer him assistance. The man Krentz encountered that day shot and killed him and his dog, without warning, before escaping to Mexico.It's difficult to overstate the impact of Krentz's death, which turned the issue of Arizona's unsecured border—a crisis that the federal government had repeatedly ignored—into a national concern. As Arizona sheriff Larry Dever said in his testimony before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, "We cannot sit by while our citizens are terrorized, robbed, and murdered by ruthless and desperate people who enter our country illegally." This momentum helped pass SB 1070, a bill that authorizes local law enforcement under certain conditions to question persons reasonably suspected of being illegal aliens, which Governor Jan Brewer and the state legislature had been working on for months. With the passage of this controversial bill, the state of Arizona became ground zero in the impassioned debate over illegal immigration. The Democrats and the media went into overdrive, denouncing the state and its governor as racists and Nazis.Governor Brewer, a lifelong Arizona resident with deep ties to the community, was first elected to the Arizona House of Representatives in 1982, and hasn't lost an election since. As a state official, she watched with increasing dismay as illegal immigration exploded across Arizona's border, and noticed the devastating effect it was having on the state. Causing an escalation in violence, an influx of drugs, and prisons and hospitals to fill to overflowing, this problem was not only wreaking havoc on the moral fabric of the community but placing an even greater strain on Arizona's beleaguered health, educational, and social welfare networks. Growing frustrated with the failure of the federal government to respond to her pleas for assistance, Governor Brewer led the state to action. Scorpions for Breakfast is Brewer's commonsense account of her fight to secure our nation's border in the face of persistent federal inaction. Her book is vital reading for all Americans interested in the real change that can happen when local leaders take the initiative to preserve our country and our laws.

It's a universal human desire – we want to live as long as we have good quality of life. When our time draws near, we want to be consulted so we can die as we wish and not be a burden to our families.
A recent Stanford study on end-of-life care revealed that people want to talk about end-of-life (EOL) decisions, but feel their doctors are too busy to start the conversation, reluctant to listen to their questions, and often give vague responses, making it difficult for patients to make informed decisions
