Hi! My name is Amber Snoke, I am a 27 year old married mother to two beautiful children. I have a great life and love everything about it except for my smile. I have had a significant gap in my front teeth since I was 13 and I have always been so self conscious about it. In the last 15 years I have no pictures of me smiling because the gap bothers me so much. I would love to be chosen to win a Jolly Smile...it is all I have wanted since my early teens! It truly would complete my life!

The victim of an attempted homicide who fought back, speaks out Wednesday. The incident happened at Almond Avenue Pharmacy in Madera around 6:30 on Tuesday night. The victim, Brian Lee, shot and killed a suspect, 30-year-old Aquilla Bailey. Madera police say Bailey and another suspect snuck into the pharmacy and fired at Lee and his mother.
What the suspects didn't know is that Lee is ex-military and carries a .45 caliber handgun. When the suspects came in shooting, hitting Lee's mother in the leg, his instincts kicked in.
Inside the Almond Avenue Pharmacy on Wednesday, it's business as usual. Remarkably, Brian and Sophie Lee are working behind the counter, just like they were on Tuesday night, right after closing. But blood stains on a glass door are evidence, that night was anything but ordinary.
"[The suspects] didn't say a word," said Lee.
Lee says two masked men slipped in through an open back door and started shooting. His mother was hit in the leg and Lee fired back.
"Obviously they wanted to kill us. What they wanted after that, I don't know," said Lee.
Madera police believe the suspects were after drugs. Bailey was hit with three bullets.
"He was shot in the face. then he was shot in the torso and once in the leg," said Chief Steve Frazier of the Madera Police Department.
Both suspects ran but only one got away. Bailey collapsed and died a couple blocks away. He left a trail of blood on the sidewalk. Police believe the pharmacy was targeted because of its location.
"Pretty easy on and off right there, and if you were to conduct a robbery, it's but a quarter of a mile and you're back on the freeway," said Frazier.
Lee says he's trying not to think about the incident, despite being back at the scene of the crime. He says he's glad he always carries a gun.
"Of course. Because the Madera chief said if it weren't for that, we'd be two corpses," said Lee.
Bailey was arrested by Fresno police back in August for home invasion. Charges were never filed. Madera police believe they have strong leads on the second suspect and hope to make an arrest soon.

Q13: I am using a Cxx0 or C1000. How can I install Debian OABI to my SD card?
From OESF
Q13: I am using a Cxx0 or C1000. How can I install Debian OABI to my SD card?
A13: The installation comes in two parts. I) Install the Angstrom kernel & Angstrom system; II) Install the Debian system [The method described here is based on Chero's post]
1. Install the Angstrom 2.6.21 kernel & system in NAND flash area.
1a. Remove baterry, wait 5 secs, place battery and attach AC power.
1b. Press "OK" key and keep it pressed, then press "On/Off" button.
1c. In the maintenance menu, choose "4" (Update) in the first screen, "2" (SD) in the second and "Y" in the third
1d. The kernel will be flashed and Zaurus will be rebooted
[Note: if your Zaurus is running the new pdaXrom versions with uboot, then you have to do a NAND Restore to revert to the factory stock rom in order to flash this kernel.]
[The 2.6.22 kernel (2.6.23 yet to be verified) has troubles with altboot, so don't use it for now unless you know how to solve the problems.]
2. Install the Debian system
2.1 Repartition and reformat the SD :
-- Create a linux partition on the SD (for details see: http://www.oesf.org/index.php?title=Multip..._a_CF_/_SD_card )
-- Format the partition : mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
2.2 Put the system to the SD
-- get the rootfs from http://www.bigbridgezau.sakura.ne.jp/dev/debian/
-- untar it to the root of the SD: Run "tar -xvzpf hddrootfs.tar.gz"
2.3 Put the 2.6.21 kernel modules to the SD
-- copy /lib/modules from your NAND to the same location on the SD (/media/card/lib/modules)
2.4 Modify some system setting files in the Debian system
The debian boot process looks for init.sysvinit instead of init, so :
cd /media/card/sbin ln -s init init.sysvinit
You need to change the mounted root from the standard /dev/hda1 (Microdrive) for titchy to /dev/mmcblk0p1 (SD-card)
-- cd /media/card/etc and edit fstab to make /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount to / and make it bootable. (Also disable the /dev/hdaX entries because you don't have a microdrive)
2.5 Still in Angstrom : Connect to the net, do an "ipkg update" and then "ipkg install altboot"
[Notes : You'll have to edit network settings before you can reach your network (/etc/network/interfaces; /etc/resolv.conf contains some kuro-specific-things)]
3.1 Reboot and hit the "any" key when asked to launch altboot then choose "boot from SD" (the "any" key is the 35th key counting diagonal from the lower left corner or maybe some other key)
3.2 1st login Login: root Root password : kuroadmin [I didn't know this when I first installed it, so I edited /media/card/etc/shadow while running Angstrom and removed the password for root (remove everything between the first ":" and the second ":" on the line beginning with "root")
3.3 Install udev I don't think udev is installed by default -> first time fiddle with modprobe to load the correct drivers (modprobe orinoco_cs or modprobe hostap_cs), configure your network and then "apt-get install udev"
3.4 Modify /etc/apt/sources.list You'd better edit /etc/apt/sources.list as well if you don't want to download everything from a japanese server and affect internet speed everywhere between you and Japan or if you want to upgrade to Lenny.

Abstract: | Purpose – This pilot study aimed to investigate whether adults with mild/moderate intellectual disabilities could accurately self-report their attachment style. It explored whether there is a relationship between attachment style and challenging behaviour and/or mental health problems. Additionally, the paper examines the distribution of attachment styles in people with intellectual disabilities, based on the hypothesis that it might be different to that of the general population. Design/methodology/approach – Adults with intellectual disabilities (n= Findings – People with mild/moderate intellectual disabilities show the same range of attachment styles as the general population. Links between challenging behaviour and insecure attachment were found, and there was an association between depression and insecure-avoidant attachment. Originality/value – Applications of attachment theory in individual therapy and at a policy level are explored in light of the findings, as well as directions for future research. There appears to be a relationship between insecure attachment and depression in people with intellectual disabilities. This has implications for the psychological treatment of people with intellectual disabilities and interventions should be developed that focus on attachment relationships. Attachment behaviour may not be linked to challenging behaviour as directly as has been previously suggested, certainly for people with mild moderate intellectual disabilities. |

The Jonas Brothers star in this Disney Channel Original Movie about a working class girl determined to refine her musical talent at an acclaimed summer workshop, and the newfound sense of confidence she gains after meeting the singer of a popular musical act. Camp Rock is the place where young musicians go to grow into talented musicians. Mitchie Torres has always dreamt of spending a summer at Camp Rock, but her family can't afford the tuition costs. When Mitchie's mother announces that she got her daughter a discount on tuition by agreeing to work as the camp cook, the young musician is overjoyed at the prospect of actually attending Camp Rock. Though at first intimidated by the more privileged campers, Mitchie soon strikes up a friendship with the decidedly down-to-earth Caitlyn, who dreams of some day becoming a music producer. Later, Mitchie tries to impress popular girls Tess, Peggy, and Ella by claiming that her mother is a powerful executive at Hot Tunes TV, a tall tale that ultimately gets her invited to sing back up for the catty clique. Meanwhile, Connect 3's summer tour has been cancelled, and lead singer Shane Gray seems to have lost his passion for music. His bandmates Jason and Nate think that a stint in Camp Rock would be the perfect thing to help the singer get his ego back in check, and soon after arriving Shane is captivated by Mitchie's voice. Unlike the other campers, Mitchie seems to genuinely appreciate Shane's creativity rather than simply fawning over his stardom, and it before long the pair has become fast friends. But Tess is jealous of Mitchie and Shane's budding friendship, and upon discovering the truth about the humble singer's mother, the scheming mean girl makes it her mission to get ensure that neither Mitchie nor Caitlyn perform at the upcoming Final Jam competition. Later, as Shane, Nate, and Jason take their seats on the judge's panel for the Final Jam, Mitchie attempts to overcome her fear, step into the spotlight, and show everyone her true talent. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Alice McKinley (Alyson Stoner) has just relocated to a new town with her widowed father Ben (Luke Perry) and her seventeen year old brother Lester (Lucas Grabeel). As the only girl in an all-male household Alice envisions herself as a girl who can hold her own, yet in reality she's just another stressed out teen who excels at getting herself into awkward situations. Alice misses her mother dearly, but with the support of her family she holds out hope that she'll get by no matter what curve balls life throws her way. But lately nothing is going right for Alice. As the school musical looms on the horizon, Alice is about to learn that even the detestable Mrs. Plotkin (Penny Marshall) may have some helpful advice if the young girl can stop casting judgment long enough to listen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An aspiring ballerina from a wealthy family learns some lessons about both dancing and life from a roughneck with soul in this teen drama. Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) grew up on the wrong side of the tracks in a rough section of Baltimore, and has been in and out of trouble with the law most of his life. Finding himself before the judge yet again, Tyler is sentenced to 200 hours of community service, and he ends up mopping floors at the Maryland School of the Arts. Tyler catches the eye of Nora (Jenna Dewan), a gifted ballet student who is trying to incorporate hip-hop moves into her classical routines. None of Nora's fellow students seem to be on the same page as her, but Tyler is a talented street dancer with strength, moves, and enthusiasm. Despite the misgivings of the school's administrators, Nora persuades Tyler to team up with her for a major class project. Tyler gains a new self-respect as he gives in to the discipline of the dance academy, but he wonders if this new opportunity means turning his back on who he really is. Matters become all the more complicated when Tyler and Nora realize they're falling in love. Step Up was the first directorial credit for choreographer Anne Fletcher, who designed dance routines for the films Bring It On, She's All That, and Boogie Nights. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The jumbo-sized Baker family are back in this sequel to the 2003 box-office hit Cheaper by the Dozen. College football coach Tom Baker (Steve Martin) and his wife, author Kate Baker (Bonnie Hunt), have decided its time they took their sizable brood of 12 children on a summer vacation, and so they pack up the cars and take the kids to Lake Winnetka for some camping. Not all the kids are happy about this, but the one who is really annoyed turns out to be Tom, who discovers his old rival Jimmy Murtaugh (Eugene Levy) is also staying near the lake. Jimmy and his trophy wife, Sarina (Carmen Electra), also have a large family of eight children, and Jimmy and Tom seem intent upon one-upping each other at every opportunity. As the tensions mount, the Baker family and the Murtaugh clan face off in a not-so-good-natured series of family games to determine which of the parents have the greater bragging rights. In addition to Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt, the actors playing the 12 Baker children from the 2003 film return for Cheaper by the Dozen 2, including Hilary Duff, Piper Perabo, Tom Welling, and Kevin Schmidt. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Shawn Levy directs the family-oriented comedy Cheaper by the Dozen, a loose remake of the 1950 film starring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy, which was itself based on a novel. Tom (Steve Martin) and Kate Baker (Bonnie Hunt) have made many sacrifices in their professional lives in order to raise their 12 children. When Tom is offered a job as a Division I college football coach, he moves the entire pack to a suburb of Chicago. This move shakes up the whole family, especially when Kate's memoirs get published and she takes off on a book tour. The lack of parental guidance creates problems for all the Baker kids, particularly handsome jock Charlie (Tom Welling), fashion plate Lorraine (Hilary Duff), and grown child Nora (Piper Perabo). Ashton Kucher stars in a cameo role as Nora's actor boyfriend, Hank. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

The command below nukes all EXIF metadata in a photo in one fell swoop (replace foo.jpg with the actual file name): exiftool -all= foo.jpgThis command removes EXIF metadata from the specified photo, but what if you need to process multiple photos? Then you can use the following command which cleans all the photos in the current directory: for i in *.jpg; do echo "Processing $i"; exiftool -all= "$i"; doneInstead of purging all EXIF metadata from a photo, you can also remove individual fields.

When it comes to virtual keyboard apps for Android, you're spoiled for choice. Still, even the best virtual keyboard can't compete with a physical full-size keyboard. Using a USB OTG cable, you can connect a real keyboard to your Android device (provided it supports this functionality). But if you need to quickly type a message or a note on when sitting in front of your desktop machine or notebook, the WiFi Keyboard app provides an alternative solution. Install the app, then activate the WiFi keyboard option in the Settings | Language and input section on your Android device. Launch the WiFi Keyboard app and note the generated URL. Open an app and select WiFi keyboard as the input method....Mar 11, 2013 GMT

In the editing mode, you can pin the note and assign tags to it. The extension also supports Markdown, and you can preview formatted text by clicking on the Toggle markdown format button. Of course, Syncpad for Simplenote also allows you to create new...Mar 08, 2013 GMT
yacpi is a small utility that lets you check the battery status, the current CPU governor mode, and CPU data from the command line. If you are running Debian or Ubuntu (or any of their derivatives), you'll be pleased to learn that yacpi is available in the official software repositories. This means that you can install the utility by running the apt-get install yacpi command as root. As is often the case, the repositories contain a slightly older version of the utility, so if you want to install the very latest release of yacpi, you have to compile it from source. Fortunately, yacpi has only few dependencies...Mar 07, 2013 GMT
Using a mobile device to control presentations is not a new idea, but it's still a very good one. So if you rely on LibreOffice Impress as your presentation tool of choice, and you happen to have an Android device, then you can turn the latter into a nifty remote control using the LibreOffice Impress Remote app. Before you put the app to some practical use, you need to do some preparatory work. First of all, install LibreOffice 4.0.0 or higher on your machine. On Ubuntu and its derivatives, this can be done using packages from the LibreOffice PPA: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libreofficeLaunch LibreOffice Impress, choose Tools ->...Feb 28, 2013 GMT
Google Reader is the go-to RSS aggregator for many users who prefer to get their regular RSS fix from the convenience of the browser. But despite being an excellent all-around tool for managing and reading RSS feeds, Google Reader is not what it used to be. The application hasn't received any major updates in a while, and it begins to feel dated. Fortunately, Google Reader is not the only fish in the sea, and if you are ready to try something new and different, you might want to take a closer look at NewsBlur. This open source RSS aggregator offers a fresh take on managing multiple RSS feeds and features some clever tools for sifting through hundreds and even thousands of RSS articles. ...Issue 158/2014

On Air The KFC Summer Session
Now Playing: Loading...
The Grill Team have teamed up with their mates on XXXX Island for the ultimate game ofbeach cricket, guaranteed to reignite some long-standing rivalry.
They've managed to bring some Aussie and English legends of the game out of retirement including Allan Border, Damien Fleming, Jeff Thomson, Adam Hollioake, Gladstone Small and Robin Smith to play in this one-off game of beach cricket. And what better setting than on XXXX Island.
And that Triple M listener is Darrell from Glendenning. He'll be taking some mates up to XXXX Island to join The Grillers and these cricket legends.
A little more about XXXX Island...to whet your appetite...
XXXX Island features the creature comforts you'd expect on an island brought to you by XXXX GOLD, including specially fitted-out cabins such as the fishing shack, the footy shack and the campground; a custom-built 'loo with a view', a man-cave filled with bits and pieces to keep guests busy; and other small ingenious touches like the beer pulley system that transports beer from the bar to the tree house style lookout area.

Where will Blake Ferguson be playing in 2014? (Photo: Getty Images)
The hot topic of Blake Ferguson and where he'll play in 2014 won't go away. A Triple M listener has approached us with this hot top. What do you think?
A Souths staffer just told me @Fergyferg4 will be a rabbitoh in 2014? @BuzzRothfield @RLW_Mole @GrillTeam @DaveSmithNRL @Danny_Weidler — Jason King (@jjk246) November 18, 2013
A Souths staffer just told me @Fergyferg4 will be a rabbitoh in 2014? @BuzzRothfield @RLW_Mole @GrillTeam @DaveSmithNRL @Danny_Weidler
Anthony Mundine was on Triple M's Rush on Thursday and the guys asked him if there was truth to the rumour that former Raiders and Origin player Blake Ferguson will be at Souths next year?
"No, we haven't spoke to anyone," Mundine said. (Listen to the full interview below).
Blake Ferguson officially became a free agent in the middle October and there is a rumour his new club could be the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Triple M's Supergrass says the troubled NRL star's deal with the Rabbitohs is "very very close to being officially announced."
Matty Johns and MG said if the rumour was true it would be a massive signing for the club.
"They are clearing the decks, there are about four or five first-graders that won't be there next year," MG said on Triple M's Grill Team.
MG reckons Blake Ferguson would make a great addition to a backline that already includes Roos and Origin star Greg Inglis.
The Roosters number one fan Gus Worland joked "does that give them that extra step to get into a Grand Final?"
It's worth noting, back in August Rabbitohs CEO Shane Richardson ruled out a Blake Ferguson coming to Redfern in an interview with The Sunday Telegraph.
"We won't be making an offer to Blake Ferguson," Richardson said.

The following article comes from the U.S. News ebook, How to Live to 100, which is now available for purchase.
It sounds wonderful to live to 100—until you start thinking about how to pay for it. If you retire at age 65 and live until 100, that's 35 years of retirement you'll need to finance. Here are some ways to build a nest egg that will last you until age 100.
[See The 10 Sunniest Places to Retire.]
Claim retirement saving tax breaks. Your savings will grow faster without the drag of taxes. In 2012, retirement savers can defer paying income tax on up to $17,000 in a 401(k), 403(b), or the federal government's Thrift Savings Plan, and $5,000 in an IRA. For investors age 50 and older, those limits jump to $22,500 in a 401(k) and $6,000 in an IRA. Low-income workers whose modified adjusted gross incomes are up to $28,750 for singles, $43,125 for heads of households, and $57,500 for couples can additionally claim a tax credit worth up to $1,000 for individuals and $2,000 for couples when they save for retirement in a 401(k) or IRA.
Add tax diversification. While traditional retirement accounts give you a tax break in the year you make contributions, income tax will be due on each withdrawal. Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s allow you to tuck away after-tax dollars for retirement, which means withdrawals after age 59½ from accounts that are at least five years old are tax-free. To decide which type of retirement account is better for you, compare your current tax rate to your expected tax rate in retirement. Those who expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement have the most to gain by paying taxes upfront using a Roth account. Roth accounts also give you easier access to your money before retirement and greater flexibility to time your withdrawals in retirement. "Having some money in a pre-tax IRA can give you some options to lower your tax rate later in life," says John Ameriks, head of the investment counseling and research group at Vanguard. Traditional IRA and 401(k) account balances can be converted to Roth accounts if you pay income tax on the amount rolled over. The IRS removed a $100,000 income limit in 2010 that previously prohibited high earners from making the switch.
[See 10 Reasons to Open a Roth IRA.]
Avoid fees. The costs and fees associated with your investments add up significantly over the course of your career and retirement. An investor paying 1 percent a year in fees who holds an investment for more than 25 years will pay 25 percent of what he or she would have earned to a service provider, according to Vanguard calculations. "The lower you can get that fee, the more money you are going to have in retirement," says Ameriks, who advises choosing funds with expense ratios of 20 basis points or less. Sometimes you can also negotiate lower fees by consolidating the bulk of your investments with a single financial institution.
Maximize Social Security. Social Security is your first line of defense against outliving your savings because the payments will continue for the rest of your life and are adjusted for inflation each year. "One of the most effective things you can do to protect yourself against both inflation and longevity is to postpone taking Social Security until age 70," says Zvi Bodie, a Boston University professor and co-author of Risk Less and Prosper. Social Security payouts increase for each year you postpone claiming between ages 62 and 70. Delaying claiming increases the amount you will receive in your later years, when you are most lkely to need the money.

I am new to GTD and have attempted to create an electronic workflow that emulates paper lists as much as possible in order to keep things simple.
I use Remember The Milk as my main list keeper, with Evernote as my main electronic warehouse for reference material, project planning materials, and lists/checklists that are not part of the "Core GTD" system.
My problem is with managing very large projects that have a number of sub-projects. For example, I work in finance and am responsible for maintaining forecast models that predict our company's revenue and expenses.
We are planning to completely overhaul the methodology we use for some of our forecast models for 2014. The ultimate outcome is to have a 2014 budget that has been designed based on a new way of looking at our company's data, and to do this I will need to complete a variety of sub-projects, such as:
- Gathering data from various sources
- Analyzing the data using several statistical techniques to see which ones are most predictive
- Meeting with Senior management to get their feedback on how the models should look/feel
- Building new models based on the newly discovered statistical prediction methods
- etc....
All of these sub-projects will have multiple actions and are legitimate projects in their own right. Would you list all of these sub-projects on your Projects list? Or should you only list "2014 Budget Redesign" on your Projects list and keep all of the known sub-projects on a separate list within the project support materials for the main project?
Or is "2014 Budget Redesign" large enough that it should be considered an area of focus and bumped up to a higher level list completely?
Thanks for your advice!

Hang tight!
Recipe by Marge
"Yummy! Try these tasty muffins for breakfast with a hot cup of coffee or tea."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup real maple syrup
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
I didn't use real maple syrup because artifically flavored-maple syrup has a much stronger maple flavor. I omitted the walnuts and added a crunchy topping (3 tbs. flour, 3 tbs. sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 2 tbs. chopped pecans) sprinkled over the muffin batter. I added 1/4 cup of sour cream for extra moistness. SO GOOD!!!!
It is very easy to make. I think it is a little salty and I cannot really taste the Maple syrup. I will cut the salt by 1/4 teaspoon and add 1/4 cup more of Maple syrup in my next attempt.
45 Ratings
Just a tip for those disappointed in the weak maple flavor: When baking with maple syrup, it is a good idea to use Grade B syrup, which is stronger flavored and intended for baking or cooking rather than as a table syrup.
My whole family loved them! I cut the salt. I added 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. I will definitely be making these again soon!
I added 1 mashed very ripe banana to this recipe and the muffins were delicious! The whole family loved them!
These are fantastic muffins. I share the recipe with anyone that tastes them. My husband had a favorite maple walnut muffin we bought at a local store. they were discontinued. These were an instant hit, better than before and to enhance the good nutrition I add raisins. Thaks Allrecipes
Although I read the other reviews, I decided to try it without many changes. However,I did add more syrup and less salt. I felt it was bland, but my husband and son, loved it. Go figure. However, next time, I might make some minor changes as suggested in the prior reviews.
These were delicious but I used Pecans instead of walnuts. Yum
