Could the sex life you currently have with your husband be defined as vanilla? If so, then you are probably ready to spice things up in the bedroom. Remember back when having intercourse with the man of your dreams was an adventure filled with fun and excitement. Now, your sex life has become a routine and you know how everything is going to unfold because you've seen the same performance dozens of times. Over time a married couple's sex life can go from a passionate burning desire for one another to dull and plain, but there is hope for women wanting to spice things up again.
1. Text the Romance Back into Your Marriage- Michael Fiore, author of Text the Romance Back teaches women how to use the power of their cell phones and thumbs to text the romance back into their marriages. There are simple yet effective text messages that will arouse your husband and force him to bring the passion back not only to your sex life but your marriage as well.
2. Talk to Your Husband- Talking about sex is something that many couples find difficult to do. It is a taboo subject for most people and can be very uncomfortable to discuss; however, if you sit down with your husband and explain to him that you do not feel your sex life is what it once was you may be surprised by the effort he puts in to make it better.
3. Change Things Up Yourself- Many women wait on their husbands to make the first move and take control in the bedroom. That is what leads to hopeless redundancy and is the reason that the passion often disappears from your sex life. If you want to get that spark back, then take control and change things up yourself. You will be amazed at how your husband responds!
4. Make the Foreplay Last Longer- If you are the type of couple who exchanges a few kisses and then gets right down to business, then it is time to change things up by making the foreplay last longer. Make out with your husband like you used to when the two of you were first dating. Kiss him deeply and passionately with your eyes closed. You will feel an intense sensation and immediately feel the passion returning to your sex life.
5. Seek Counseling- If you feel like you have tried everything and nothing is working, then it might be time for you to seek the counsel of an experienced therapist that can help you spice things up in the bedroom. Sometimes there are deeper issues that are taking place than just feeling like you are stuck in a rut. Working through your problems with an experienced counselor could help you tremendously.
Taking the time to use the tips provided could help you make a dramatic change in your sex life. Sex is very important to a marriage, because it is one of the ways a couple expresses their love for one another. If you want to spice things up, then you have to take action or nothing will ever change and you will have a boring sex life for a very long time.

Smith Wins Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week Honors
PRINCETON, N.J. (4/21/14) - Princeton women's lacrosse senior Colleen Smith was named the Ivy League co-Defensive Player of the Week for the week ending April 20.
Smith had another outstanding week on the Princeton defense, as the Tigers swept No. 10 Penn and Dartmouth en route to winning the Ivy League title. It is Princeton's first title in seven years.
Smith anchors the defense that forced Penn into 13 turnovers and just 13 shots. She was also crucial in limiting Penn to just five goals, its fewest goals scored in an Ivy League game since April 15, 2006 vs. Dartmouth. On Saturday she earned an assist, had a team-high three caused turnovers and team-high three ground balls. The defense in general forced the Big Green into 14 turnovers and allowed just seven ground balls.

The New Orleans Saints received a "B" grade in a USA Today report Tuesday assessing NFC teams' offseasons, tied for the best in the NFC South. It cited the Saints' signing of Jairus Byrd and Champ Bailey in the secondary, resolving Jimmy Graham's contract dispute and drafting Brandin Cooks, plus an "under-appreciated" move on the offensive line.
As for the rest of the division, Tampa Bay earned a "B," Atlanta a "B-minus" and Carolina a "D-minus." Again, check out the full story here.
From the Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette, the Greenbrier resort is ready for the Saints' arrival. The $30 million project was spearheaded by Greenbrier owner Jim Justice and features two natural grass fields, a "chandelier-encrusted Performance Center" and more.
A Nebraska radio station, 1011 Sports, sat down with former Nebraska cornerback and Saints second-round pick Stanley Jean-Baptiste as he prepares for his first training camp.
What kind of challenge could Tampa Bay's revamped defensive line bring this season? ESPN.com checks it out.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution talks Falcons wide receivers in its countdown to training camp. The Falcons will be profiled on HBO's "Hard Knocks," and receiver Julio Jones' recovery from right foot surgery should be a big angle as he and Roddy White strive to be the best receiver duo in the NFL.

Dodge brand announced today (Feb. 26) that the entire model year production of their special edition 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker is gone – already sold – in just four days.
If you did not get your order in for one of these hot Challenger R/T models that brought back the unique "Shaker" hoods with a functional exposed-element cold-air intake system feeding a 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine - you can't say you were not warned.
Dodge introduced the functional "Shaker" hood special edition Challenger at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas in November.
We wrote about Challenger R/T Shaker at that time suggesting that, if interested, you talk to your Dodge dealer right away to get in line.
Dodge had expected these to go fast – and they did as orders opened on Jan. 7 with all them gone by Jan. 10.
"Based on this strong initial demand, it's clear that our customers are excited about the return of the legendary Shaker model, which was engineered for enthusiasts who asked for even more attitude and a dose of muscle car heritage," said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of the Dodge Brand. "The 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine with the unique hood and intake design makes this performance car an instant classic – like the original 1970 Challenger R/T with the Shaker hood."
The new 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shakers are shipping now to Dodge dealerships.
There is always the chance that not all of the cars ordered were an actual "sold" order at the dealer placing the order, meaning they bought one or two for showroom inventory.
If you still want one, you would be wise to start contacting dealers now while cars are in transit to showrooms.
Pricing for the 2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker model starts at $36,995 MSRP and $37,495 with the custom one-of-a-kind hood-to-tail stripes, which is only $2,500 more than the Challenger R/T Classic for all of the unique features of this limited production model.
Good luck.

Here's a perfect example of the double standard. While Casey Anthony is demonized as the most Evil Monster on the planet since Hitler, custodial dad ZYRIAH SCHLITTER has excuses made as to why the authorities should go easy on him. Still unemplained: how and why this father who "allegedly" murdered his toddler daughter--just weeks after getting possession of her--got custody to start with, and who gave it to him. Something stinks in Iowa....
UPDATE: Bond lowered for father charged with murder in toddler's death
Posted July 15, 2011 11:53 am by Vanessa Miller/SourceMedia Group News
UPDATE 4 p.m.: A district court judge has lowered the bond for Zyriah Schlitter, suspected of first-degree murder in the death of his 17-month-old daughter, from $500,000 to $100,000.
Schlitter, 24, of Cedar Rapids, also has the option of paying 10 percent of the $100,000 cash or surety bond, like his co-defendant and ex-girlfriend Amy Parmer did earlier this week.
Parmer, 27, of Hiawatha, is free on bond and under supervision of the Department of Corrections pending her trial, and Schlitter will be under the same supervision if he posts the $10,000.
He was still at the Linn County Jail as of 4:30 p.m. Friday.
Judge Marsha Beckelman agreed to lower Schlitter's bond based on his lack of criminal history, his extensive family ties to the community, the fact that he has a job waiting for him and because he cooperated with authorities during a lengthy investigation into his suspected involvement in Kamryn Schlitter's death.
Before asking for a lower bond Friday morning, Schlitter pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and child endangerment resulting in death.
Assistant Linn County Attorney Nick Maybanks asked Beckelman to keep Schlitter's bond at $500,000, in part, because he's learned that Schlitter has "contemplated taking his own life to be with the victim."
"He's facing life in prison and a life of public repudiation," Maybanks told Beckelman on Friday. "He has all the reason in the world to disappear, and it's the state's opinion that this is a crime of a nature and severity that has a significant flight risk."
Schlitter and Parmer were arrested June 21 on suspicion of first-degree murder and child endangerment resulting in death nearly 15 months after Schlitter's young daughter, Kamryn Schlitter, died of head trauma on March 28, 2010.
Both Schlitter and Parmer originally were booked into the Linn County Jail on $1 million bonds, but a judge agreed two days later to lower their bonds to $500,000, and Parmer's bond was dropped even further to $100,000 last week.
Parmer was allowed to pay 10 percent of the $100,000 cash or surety bond, and she posted the amount Monday.
Defense attorney Thomas Gaul told Beckelman on Friday that his client should receive similar treatment, but he asked that Schlitter's bond be set even lower – at $50,000 with the ability to post just 10 percent of that in order to leave jail.
"Mr. Schlitter has no criminal record except for a traffic ticket," Gaul said.
He pointed to Schlitter's family members sitting behind him in the courtroom as proof that he has support and people willing to hold him accountable. Gaul also said he has an employer that is willing to continue to provide him work.
"The state investigated this case for a year, and he cooperated with police," Gaul said. "He was under no kind of restraint, and he stayed here. He didn't flee."
Schlitter appeared in court Friday with his attorney, but didn't speak. His family members appeared somber. One of them carried a bag decorated with pictures of Kamryn, and other waived and said, "Bye Zyriah," as he left the courtroom.
According to a criminal complaint filed in the case, Schlitter and Parmer from March 1 to March 21, 2010, had exclusive care and custody of Kamryn, who died at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City a week after paramedics found her suffering from seizure-like symptoms at 245 Clymer Rd. in Hiawatha.
Workers at a daycare center noticed bruising to her face March 8 and March 15, and makeup appeared to cover the mark the first time it was noticed, according to the complaint.
Investigators suspect that Schlitter and Parmer either together or individually inflicted Kamryn's fatal injuries, allowed the other person to abuse the girl or failed to protect her, according to the complaint. Both people made statements indicating that they knew about Kamryn's injuries and were frustrated with caring for her, the complaint alleges.
Kamryn suffered her "final, life threatening, intentionally inflicted and fatal injuries" during the last 72 hours of her life while already in a weakened and deteriorated state of health, according to the complaint.
The pair hasn't offered a reasonable medical explanation as to how Kamryn suffered her injuries, the complaint states.
Parmer and Schlitter were named as defendants in a wrongful-death lawsuit filed in March by Kamryn's mother, Nicole King. But King last week dropped that lawsuit, in which she accused them of "beating and abuse" that led to her daughter's death.
King has not given a reason for dropping the lawsuit.

Karen of Redoux is no stranger to trashed furniture. Most of the time she's able to salvage pieces and turn them into something fabulous. But there was one dresser…a dumpster find, it was in such bad shape that only the drawers were salvageable.
What to do with drawers that don't have a dresser? We'll if you are Karen, you turn them into something pretty. Karen painted these, added cute knobs, and filled them with mason jars and raffia. Now, they look lovely as a centerpiece or countertop display. Those mason jars will look absolutely adorable filled with flowers or pinwheels this spring.

Wilde Bar and Restaurant (3130 N Broadway), is a great place to stop this St. Patrick's Day for some traditional Irish fare. Start off with artichoke cheddar dip on country toast or roasted beet and warm goat cheese salad. Irish Caesar salad with brown bread croutons, edamame black bean salad, and Wilde "Soup Veg" soup (filled with white beans, kale, celery, onion, carrots, and potatoes in vegetable broth) served with Irish soda bread make great sides or a lighter meal. If you are craving something heartier grab a "Bosies's Garden Burger," which is a vegetable patty dressed with swiss cheese, red onion, and field greens, served on herbed foccacia bread. Or, try the chipotle black bean burger served with grilled tomato, red onion, and remoulade sauce. Wash it all down with a pint of Irish beer – sixteen draft beers to choose from!

Cyber Security Expert: "The Information On Your Phone Isn't Very Secure"
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on February 07, 2013 @ 7:36PM
Created on February 07, 2013 @ 5:41PM
In the 1960's Walter Cronkite predicted that one day that our technology would let us get the weather and information about stocks from one device.
We've come along time since then.
We've come so far that most of that information you can get from the palm of your hand on your cell phone.
Since their creation smartphones have been becoming an increasingly popular target for criminals.
Some security experts have said 2013 will be the most popular time for cybercriminals. Depending on who you believe, the number of cases being hacked could easily topple one million.
That's bad news for WVU student, Nicole Warn.
"I'm on my cell phone all the time," Warn said.
Warn uses her cell phone for everything from checking her social media pages to paying bill.
"They would probably have a lot of my information," Warn said talking about if someone was able to gain access to her phone. "I use it so much that I don't realize how much information I have on it."
Criminals know that folks like Warn tend to keep a lot of information on their phones.
"That information isn't very secure," warned Jeremiah Johnson. Johnson is a computer crime specialist with the National While Collar Crime Unit.
Johnson said that smartphones are typically run on most of the same software users also use on their computers, and that makes them an easy target for hackers.
"It has access to very sensitive information," Johnson said. "It has access to your calendar, your contacts, and your physical location."
If you're looking to get into the business of hacking phones, there's thousands of videos that show people hacking into phones on the internet.
"They're on there for good and bad," Johnson said. "The security researchers can then publish where there are vulnerable spots. That forces the manufactures to take the responsibility to fix them."
Johnson also advised that users also make a lot of simple mistakes that tend to let criminals into their phones. He said most time people install applications and agree to stuff that they probably shouldn't.
"We're in the culture where we like to click next, next, next," Johnson said. "It's time to take a closer look at those warning signs."

Sprint MVNO Ting, which is owned by Tucows, confirmed it is now providing service to Sprint-issued Apple iPhone 4 and 4S smartphones. The company described the support as a beta program, which Ting said means that it can provide the service to any new and existing customer but that it cannot promote it or market it on its website.
Samsung Electronics' Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II were the top-rated smartphones in terms of customer satisfaction, beating out Apple's iPhone 5 and other recent iPhones, according to a new report from the American Customer Satisfaction Index.
Apple is partnering with wireless device distributor Brightstar to establish an in-store iPhone trade-in program to let customers turn in older models and upgrade to the newer iPhone 5, according to a Bloomberg report.
Apple said it sold 37.4 million iPhones and 19.5 million iPads in its fiscal 2013 second quarter, which ended March 30, beating analysts' expectations for around 35 million iPhones and 17 million iPads. In the year-ago quarter, Apple sold 35.1 million iPhones and 11.8 million iPads.
To build buzz and hike sales of its anticipated April 12 launch of Apple's iPhone 5, T-Mobile USA is launching an iPhone trade-in program aimed at encouraging existing iPhone users to switch to T-Mobile's network.
Clearwire MVNO FreedomPop announced today that its long-delayed iPhone Sleeve may soon be released commercially. The company said the FCC has completed testing the gadget and that "a decision by the FCC is expected by the end of April."
T-Mobile USA will finally start selling Apple's iPhone on April 12, and according to a report from industry analyst Horace Dediu of Asymco, T-Mobile will sell around 3.4 million iPhone units this year.
Apple's iPhone 5 was the world's best-selling smartphone in the fourth quarter, according to a new report from research firm Strategy Analytics. The firm said Apple's latest model, along with its older iPhone 4S, outsold Samsung Electronics' flagship Galaxy S III during the fourth quarter.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said he thinks the global smartphone market will continue to grow significantly over the next few years and that Apple's iPhone business will benefit from that. However, Cook did not directly address whether Apple will introduce a cheaper iPhone for emerging markets, but he said the company will continue to make great products and that "The only thing we'll never do is make a crappy product."
Apple's iPhone 5 launch has dominated the mobile world since it was unveiled Wednesday, and justifiably a lot of attention is being paid to its larger screen, faster processor, inclusion of LTE and lack of NFC. However, Apple's biggest coup in this announcement was its decision to make the iPhone 4 free when paired with a two-year contract.

It's hard to overstate the importance of site selection for your small business. Even some of the best-known and most well-financed franchises have struggled and closed after trying to make a go of it in the wrong location. So how can you make sure you are choosing the right location for your business?
Well, the first thing to note is that there really is no such thing as an objectively perfect location. There may, however, be a perfect marriage between a location and your specific business needs.
Choose Your Customers First, Then Your Location
The first step in choosing your location has little to do with site evaluation. It's about getting to really understand your future customers. What kind of people are they? When and where do they work? How do they spend their money and their free time? Get to know your future customers and you'll do a far better job of finding a site and a property that they'll want to frequent.
Once you have an idea of who your customers are (or will be), the focus of your small business site selection process should be on foot traffic (or car traffic) and ease-of-access. In places like New York City, this means being near the subway on a busy street, but for most of America this means thinking about car traffic flow and parking spots. Ever wonder why you see three gas stations at the same intersection? They are all picking off different traffic flows because they know customers are looking for the shortest possible detour when they need to get gas. Starbucks make a similar calculation when they put two coffee shops directly opposite each other on a busy thoroughfare.
"Every time I'm choosing a new location, I head down to each option with a big flask of coffee and a clicker to count all the people that walk past. Then I walk to the nearest public transportation stop at rush hour and look at how people are heading home. I turned down one location because while it was right next to the subway, I noticed all the commuters were coming out of the other subway entrance. It turns out all the residences in that area were on the other side of the street."
– Jason Richelson, Founder and CEO of ShopKeep and Experienced Small Business Owner
Additional considerations include zoning regulations, local labor supply, proximity to suppliers, and how well the location reflects your intended brand image. For a more detailed discussion of these and other factors, you should read this article:
Read 4 Things You Probably Haven't Considered About Choosing a Retail Location.
At a Glance:
- The wrong location will hobble your business before you've even gotten started, so it's important to thoroughly research your options.
- Site choice should be based not just on obvious factors, such as foot traffic and parking, but on a deep understanding of your customers and their needs.
- Don't rush in! Test the viability of your products through e-commerce and flea markets to get real-world data on your potential retail locations.
- A long-term commercial lease is a big commitment, so get expert advice and negotiate on every aspect of the agreement, not just the monthly rent.
Think Lean: Do You Really Know How Much Space You Need?
We all have a "dream" small business space in our heads with a full checklist of amazing features. It's probably large and full of natural light, maybe opposite a park and filled with great details like a beautiful, long solid oak counter and a little bell over the door. There's absolutely nothing wrong with these aspirations. In fact, it's vital to have a clear vision of what you're working towards. It can, however, become a problem if you let the perfect become the enemy of the possible.
To avoid this scenario, define the core characteristics you need from your store and write them down in a prioritized list from one to ten. Now cross off the bottom five. Compromise is essential in choosing a commercial space, especially in popular neighborhoods.
It is also essential to take a lean, data-driven approach when choosing a space. The average length of a commercial lease has dropped in recent years, but is still often well over five years, so the absolute last thing you want to do is rush in and leave yourself locked into a bad situation. Luckily, if you're not quite ready to sign a lease, there are many ways by which you can test the viability of your business idea before you invest in a specific location.
You can start by testing the desirability of your products and services through e-commerce. It might turn out that your core product line will actually be much smaller than you originally envisioned. If you'd rather do things in person, there are now a number of services (such as Storefront) that will allow you to secure a "pop-up" lease on some incredible spaces, often only for days at a time. It may just end up that your dream location isn't as great as you originally thought.
As with every aspect of your small business, it's important that your decisions are guided by real-world data, not intuition. To learn more about a data-driven approach to small business, make sure to check out Lean Retail 101 by ShopKeep Founder and CEO, Jason Richelson.
You Found Your Location: Now It's Time to Negotiate
When it does come time to choose a long-term space and negotiate a deal, it's important to remember that there is much more to discuss than just the monthly rental rate. Subjects you'll want to raise include, but are not limited to, the proposed length of your lease and options for renewal, responsibility for ongoing maintenance and repairs, payment of utilities, and obligations around property insurance. Parking rights are also essential for many locations, especially if you in a small shopping center.
If you're moving into a space and it needs renovations to make it work for your store, like if the property needs improved data-connectivity, you'll also want the landlord to take on responsibility for that work. If you have to do the work yourself, it's advisable to ask if the landlord will consider a rent-free or reduced-rent period.
Understanding Commercial Rental Rates:
Commercial rent is most commonly quoted as the cost per square foot per annum.
For example, say your retail location is 2,500 sq ft at a cost of $56/sq foot. That would mean your rent is 2500 * 56, which equates to $140,000 (or $11,666 per month).
Above all, remember that all of these elements can form part of your negotiation. Unless you are pursuing a highly-desired space in a hot rental market, there is usually a point of leverage available to you in every lease negotiation. When it comes to getting the best possible deal in these situations, you'll want to seek quality professional advice, which normally means speaking to a broker and/or a real-estate lawyer.
One note on commercial real-estate brokers: It's important to heed their counsel, but remember that the right location is worth waiting for. Commercial brokers will often push to get you into any location, not necessarily the right one for you.
Meanwhile, a great real-estate lawyer will consider every angle and ask the insightful questions you might not have thought to ask. For example, does the landlord intend on erecting scaffolding on the building at any point during the lease? If so, can the rent be reduced to reflect this situation? You will also want to ask to have a clause included allowing you to sublet if necessary, which can be important if you ever find yourself struggling to make payments.
The Bottom Line
The three-word phrase "Location, Location, Location" is quoted so often for a reason. The wrong choice of location will hobble your business before you've even had the chance to get started. That's why you need to take your time to really understand your customers and do everything you can to gather real-world data on the viability of your potential new space and the products or services you're selling there.
Once you're ready to take the leap and choose a long-term space, do your homework and solicit professional advice to ensure you get the best possible deal on every aspect of your lease, not just the monthly rental rate.

Have you checked out the season's hottest heels? They're the fashion equivalent of forbidden fruit: glossy, candy-colored, and seriously tempting. The catch is that the heels are too high: five, six, seven inches — the kind of towering heights that make podiatrists rich.
To help you find chic shoes you can actually wear, I tested all the latest styles. In the Connecticut suburbs, Laurette Kittle, an artist (shoe size 8 1/2 or 9); Suzanne Frank, a charity event planner (9 narrow); and I (size 6 1/2 ) teamed up to try on 30 pairs of shoes. In New York City, I tested 30 more with fashion coach Susan Sommers (another 9 narrow), founder of DressZing; and Kim Isaacsohn (size 8), president of Clever Carriage, her own handbag line.
Five outspoken shoe mavens, and yet we all awarded top honors to the same two brands: Aerosoles and Taryn Rose. Read on for details.
These were comfortable on everyone — and Suzanne loved the toe cleavage. Car Shoe shantung ballerinas ($375; Nordstrom, 800-695-8000).
For our testers with wider feet, these were nirvana. Why? The toe box of most fashion shoes is 3 inches; Geox's is 3 1/4 — the widest we tried. Geox python-print flats ($130; geoxusa.info for stores).
These Kate Spade yellow pebbled-leather flats ($328; Kate Spade, 800-519-3778) scored high with the narrow-footed. Cranky Kim dissented: "They're like cardboard; there's no bend."
Salvatore Ferragamo green patent flats ($450; Salvatore Ferragamo, 800-628-8916) were the only pointy-toe pair that didn't hurt (the toe box is 3 1/4 inches).
Aerosoles silver leather cutout wedges ($79; Aerosoles, 212-226-4090): Run and get these shoes! They look stylish, feel like slippers, and are only $79. Aerosoles and Naturalizers, the traditional comfort brands, have hired hot designers, which deserves our applause and our credit cards.
Taryn Rose silver-foil patent Daphne peep toes ($495; Taryn Rose, 877-440-7673): I could live in these! This brand runs $425 to $495, which Kim feels is too much.
Bruno Magli Barni black patent pebble-texture shoes ($375; Bruno Magli stores, 800-624-5430): "Only if I commuted by car could I wear a wedge like this," was Kim's verdict.
Fratelli Rossetti white perforated patent leather platform sandals ($490; Fratelli Rossetti, 212-888-5107). They look like nurses' shoes — until you put them on. Says Laurette: "Surprisingly comfortable."
Cole Haan Carma OT Air Pump patent peep toes ($275; Cole Haan, 800-201-8001). Suzanne, who has back pain, declared: "I could run in these!" (The secret: Nike Air Technology, which supports the ball of the foot.)
Naturalizer T-strap in black with patent trim ($79). Susan: "These have cachet — and look expensive." I'll say. They could pass for Prada.

For first-time screenwriter Graham Gordy, being tapped by Mike Meyers to co-write his new self-help-satire-meets-
potty-joke-jubilee, The Love Guru, was both outrageously good fortune and a serious master course in the science of funny.
Gordy, an NYU graduate, first hit Meyers' radar after the SNL alum and Austin Powers creator read a comedy script he'd co-written. After a series of in-person meetings, the two embarked on what would become a four-year process to script The Love Guru.
"When Mike and I first met, we actually talked about screenplay structure first," recalls Gordy, who, despite being an Arkansas native, lacks even the slightest twang. "You wouldn't at first necessarily imagine it, but he's a huge student of the screenwriting craft," says Gordy. Beyond learning his new star partner's strikingly systematic approach to scripting comedy, he learned the time and detailed attention Meyers paid to generating jokes he felt would satisfy his singular constituency -- his audience. Says Gordy of Meyers' painstaking joke development process, "Working with him really is kind of like being let into a comedy laboratory."
During a conversation with the Writers Guild of America, West Web site, Gordy described Meyers' ardent commitment to winning audience laughs above critical acclaim and the extensive, surprisingly scientific techniques -- including one borrowed from the Marx Brothers -- he employed during the development and writing of The Love Guru.
Give me an anatomy of how you and Mike Myers worked together.
Strangely enough, it was pretty work-a-day. It was kinda like working in a bank or something. It was not quite nine-to-five but it was 10-to-six or seven pretty much every day.
Mike would do the monologue, and then he'd do a live question-and-answer with the audience. We would always get a couple of jokes out of that improv session as well. So after eight or nine shows over the course of almost two years, we were like, "Ok, what's the structure here? Let's create the world that these jokes go into."
Mike's an amazing student of comedy, which makes him an amazing teacher of comedy, so it was pretty much like comedy boot camp for me.
Once you got to that stage where you were finally writing the actual script, how would a typical day go?
We'd be at his office, which is essentially a living room setup. I would sit in a chair with a laptop, and we'd project the script up on the TV. That was when we were at the dialogue stage. Before that, when we were hammering out the structure, it was corkboard and three-by-five cards...
I've heard Mike likes his corkboard and three-by-five cards.
Oh, he loves them. There's this whole color-coded system of cards and figuring out how long each scene is by having representational cards up there...
What did the colors delineate?
Sometimes they would delineate which characters appeared where, so Jessica Alba's character would be red, for example, and Manu Narayan's would be yellow. It's a way to answer the questions: "Have we seen enough of them?" or "How can I miss you if you never go away?" It helps the rhythm of the piece.
When you had your first session with Mike, was it hard for you to be creative or funny, having been thrust into such a chance-of-a-lifetime situation?
Yeah, it was hugely daunting. Mike was somebody that I had watched as a teenager on Saturday Night Live and then obviously the Austin Powers films. It was strange because, first of all, there's the immediate element of, anytime you meet a celebrity, essentially you've shared a part of your life with them that they haven't shared with you. So there's part of you where you're like, "Oh, I know you, but you don't know me, clearly."
But that is exacerbated by the fact that you're trying to be laid back and funny, and as everyone knows, you can't be funny when you're tense. Finally, if we started on Monday, I think it was about two days later when I first actually made him legitimately laugh. Once you break that ice, you realize, "That's what he sounds like when he's really laughing, so let's try and do that." After three or four months of that, you're in a room with somebody so much that you're just kind of buddies at that point -- you can be pretty free and comedically bold.
Were there times during the writing process for this film when you needed to reassure him of the comedic strength of this concept?
Oh yeah, absolutely, and vice versa. There's always those moments. Sometimes you wonder if the room is funny. When you've been with someone for 10 hours and nothing's coming and you say something and both of you are laughing really hard -- once you put that in front of an audience, it just dies because you were just desperate for a laugh in that moment. It's just "room funny," it's not real funny.
How has this experience changed you as a writer?
I think it's the best education I could have gotten in commercial writing because Mike cares so little about critics or studios, and he cares so incredibly about making his audience laugh. If something plays, it's in, which the easy part. If something doesn't play, it's out, and that's the hard part. He's the first person to say, "Cut it out. It doesn't work," even if it's his most beloved child. I'm amazed at how readily he gives stuff up for the sake of the audience.

National Geographic Celebrates 125 Years with Vintage-Photo Blog
As part of the celebration of their 125th year, National Geographic recently launched a Tumblr blog that unearths "lost" photographs from the Yellow Monster's image archive, which is said to include more the 10.5 million images.
Called "Found," the vintage-photography blog was quietly introduced a couple of weeks ago, and has built an audience rather quickly. As of last week, Found had more than 13,000 followers, according to National Geographic Digital Creative Director Jody Sugrue. Several of the images have been "liked" or shared hundreds—even thousands—of times.
"The response has been incredible," Sugrue told PDN. "It's been overwhelming, and I think its encouraging us to tell more stories like this, in this way." Through Tumblr, "we have access to a community that National Geographic doesn't normally tap into, which we're excited about," Sugrue says.
The earliest image on the site, from 1903, is of Alexander Graham Bell kissing his wife, Mabel, as she stands inside a large kite. Some of the photographs are undated, like a black-and-white photograph of a woman feeding a pet bear, or an autochrome image of a garden of water lilies. Other photographs depict a Scottish Highland cow auction from the 1970s, or sledders in Central Park in 1960. The images were made all over the globe, and many are characterized by beautiful colors characteristic of photographic film.
So far the site has drawn on the "fraction" of the Geographic archive that's been digitized, but Sugrue says that more of the archive will be scanned with an eye toward sharing those images on Found.
Web Barr, a producer for National Geographic, came up with the idea for the site, and he and assistant photo editor Janna Dotschkal are working with archivist William Bonner on the image selection, which focuses on "exploring a sense of wonder and transporting people to a different place and time," Dotschkal says.
While there could be some concern about sharing these vintage images on a platform like Tumblr, because it encourages users to "re-blog" content, which can separate images from their source (and proper credit), Sugrue believes publishing the images via Tumblr gives them a new life and potentially creates new demand for remarkable photographs that were all but forgotten.
"We've gotten a huge response already [from followers], asking where they can purchase [prints]" and about how to license images, Sugrue says. National Geographic is currently working on a way to make prints of some of the images available for sale, Sugrue adds. More importantly, she says, they see Found as "a gift to our audience."
"It's just a lovely way to pay homage to our history as visual storytellers," she adds.

My laptop is connected to my school WiFi but somehow my Android phone cannot access the WiFi (My phone can connect to WiFi in other places, so I guess it must have something to do the setting)
So, I would like to share wireless internet connection on my laptop to my Android phone over WiFi too. I tried Connectify but apparently, it is not compatible with either my laptop (Lenovo Idea Pad Y450 20020) or my Android phone.
My alternative would be to use a wireless router to do it. I found one online which seems to be doing the exact thing I want: ASUS 802.11b/g/n Portable Wireless Router (WL-330N) But I am not sure whether it does. What specs should I be looking at when buying a router so that I can make sure it does precisely what I want as described above?
Thank you

Saudi employee at Military Attaché in Yemen killed
November 28, 2012
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that Corporal Khalid Shbikhan Al-Enazi, an employee at the Saudi Military Attaché in Sana'a, and his Yemeni bodyguard, Jalal Mubarak Hadi Shaban, were killed this morning when unidentified gunmen shot them outside Al-Enazi's home. According to the statement, Yemeni security authorities, in collaboration with the Saudi Ambassador to Yemen, immediately began investigating the crime. The Foreign Ministry, which is preparing to return the body to the Kingdom, offered the condolences of Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal to the families of the victims.
