Speed Dialer Factory (for iPhone)


Speed Dialer Factory for iPhone ($0.99) lets you create speed dial-like icons of your favorite contacts, and place them on your home screen. It sounds like a very simple, single-purpose utility, and it is, but don't be mistaken: the app truly adds convenience and style to your smartphone experience.

By adding a contact's speed dial icon to your home screen, you only need one tap to connect instead of three; the usual routine is tapping into your Address Book, scrolling to find your contact, tapping to select your contact, and tapping again to select a way to connect. Alternatively you can also bookmark your favorite contacts in your Address Book, but it only lets you call or Facetime them.

Speed Dialer Factory doesn't upload contacts to its servers, as one might expect, but it does require some interaction on your part. The app creates tiny Web apps for speed dials locally, launches them in Safari, and then prompts you to tap the Share button at the bottom of your screen and tap "Add to Home Screen" to yes, add the icon to your home screen.

Add a Speed Dial
Speed Dialer Factory is incredibly easy to use. To make a new icon, simply launch the app, select a contact, and start customizing the icon. You can change the icon image to a picture from your gallery or snap a photo on the spot. Another very cool feature is being able to choose the method of communication to associate with your dialer?voice, text, iMessage, email, FaceTime, Skype, or "let me choose each time."

Other speed dialers for the iPhone add more features, but also more complexity. Faces Visual Photo Dialer ($1.99) essentially revamps your contact list and lets you bookmark your favorites to put up front. Another app, Speed Dials Free, is more like a traditional speed dialer in that you can assign contacts to numbers on a dedicated speed dial screen.

Speed Dialer lets you make unlimited icons. I created icons of everyone I contact regularly and put them on my phone's homescreen?this capability definitely adds a unique personalized touch to your phone.

For a dollar, Speed Dialer Factory for iPhone provides an easy way to spruce up your iPhone experience. It's a bit limited in functionality, and I'd love to see more options for customizing the look and feel of an icon, but what it does do, it does well.?

South Africa charges Marikana mine workers with murder of colleagues

South Africa has charged workers arrested earlier this month at the Marikana platinum mine with the murder of 34 colleagues, all of whom were shot and killed by police, the BBC reports.

A spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority told the BBC:

?This is under common law, where people are charged with common purpose in a situation where there are suspects with guns or any weapons and they confront or attack the police and a shooting takes place and there are fatalities.?

The BBC also reported that the Ga Rankuwa magistrates court near the capital, Pretoria, had rejected bail applications from all 270 workers. Six of the workers are still hospitalized with injuries sustained in the shootings.

The charges come at a time when the South African Labor Ministry had hoped to sign a peace agreement to meet the demands of striking workers at the mine, which is owned by Lonmin, the world?s third-largest platinum producer. The likely effect will be to escalate the strike, observers say.

The decision to charge the miners with murder could also further jeopardize President Jacob Zuma?s chances of reelection in December. Earlier this week, analyst Peroshni Govender wrote in an article published by Reuters that the killings had already undermine Zuma?s populist appeal.

?South African?s President Jacob Zuma rose to power as a man of the people but seemed a world away from the masses when he stood in a suit under a parasol to speak to destitute miners,? Govender wrote.

The killings at the Lonmin mine have been described as the deadliest incident of police brutality since South Africa became a democracy in 1994.

Bacterium transforms into weapon against sleeping sickness

ScienceDaily (Aug. 30, 2012) ? Scientists of the Antwerp Institute of Tropical Medicine (ITG) opened a new front against the cause of sleeping sickness. This parasite is transmitted between humans by tsetse flies. The researchers learned a bacterium living in those flies how to produce antibodies against the parasite. Application in the field is still a long way of, but the technique shows quite some promise.

Sleeping sickness is caused by trypanosomes, parasites being transmitted by the bite of a tsetse fly.

The World Health Organization estimates the yearly death toll at between 10,000 and 20,000 people. On top of that, the parasite also infects cattle, causing considerable economic loss. Many small African farmers depend on their cattle.

Without treatment, an infection is irrevocably fatal. Unfortunately, many poor people present at the hospital only in a late stadium. At that time the Trypanosoma parasites have lodged themselves in the brain, behind the notorious blood-brain barrier that keeps most drugs out. Arsenic compounds can pass the barrier and kill the parasite, but they also kill five per cent of the patients. New drugs are not in the pipeline.

Besides the parasite, one may also attack its vector, the tsetse fly. But insecticides may be detrimental to the environment, certainly in the long run. Therefore scientists look for alternative strategies. For instance genetically modified insects that are incapable of being infected by the parasite, or do not transmit it. But germline transformation of tsetse flies is unfeasible. To do so, one must be able to handle the eggs, but tsetse flies do not lay eggs, they directly bring forth a larva.

Therefore, the Antwerp researchers took another road. Tsetse flies harbour, as is the case with many insects, resident bacteria. One of them, Sodalis glossinidius (literally: companion of the tsetse fly) exclusively lives in tsetse flies. And it can be cultivated in the lab. De Vooght was the first to genetically modify the bacterium so it produces, and excretes, a very efficient type of antibody, called a nanobody. She identified two different secretory pathways that transported the nanobodies out of the bacterium. She also demonstrated that the bacterium was not hampered by its modification, so it can stand its ground amidst non-modified, 'wild type' congeners inside the fly.

Next, with antibiotics she cleared tsetse flies of their wild type bacteria and replaced those by the modified bacteria. These successfully colonized the flies and started producing nanobodies. The nanobodies also were present in the midgut, where the sleeping sickness parasite also is to be found.

De Vooght demonstrated the feasibility of the technique, but it still needs some development before it can be used to control sleeping sickness in the field. For instance, the antibodies now produced by the bacteria, are directed against a form of the parasite occurring in humans, not in flies. This is simply because this antibody was available, while the one against the fly form still has to be developed. De Vooght: "We wanted to demonstrate first that the technique works in principle. Now we have achieved that, we can tackle the technical details."

To the scientists it is just as important that symbiotic bacteria producing all kinds of substances are a means to getting insight into the interactions between disease-causing organisms and their insect vectors. The Antwerp researchers already demonstrated that the sleeping sickness parasite interferes with the saliva production of tsetse flies, forcing them to bite more humans than they otherwise would do. Insight in that kind of interactions might be instrumental to opening new ways of attacking diseases.

Justin Bieber to Play a Role on The X Factor


The X Factor kicks off Season 2 in just a few weeks, and the Fox competition is still without a host.

But it has hired at least one mentor to assist contestants with their songs and routines - and you may be familiar with his work: Justin Bieber!!!

Sources confirm to TMZ that Bieber will be one of four celebrity mentors brought in to help the judges with their teams. Look for him to be aligned with L.A. Reid and that panelist's contingent of hopefuls.

NASA to beam new will.i.am song from Mars

A song called "Reach for the Stars" will make its debut, appropriately, from space.

NASA plans to broadcast the tune, written by rapper and songwriter will.i.am, from its Curiosity rover, newly landed on the surface of Mars.

Though Curiosity has no speakers, it will transmit the song via radio waves back to Earth to be received at 1 p.m. PT (4 p.m. ET) Tuesday during an educational event at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

    3. Rover sends first human voice from Mars
    4. Will.i.am song will get Red Planet premiere

"Members of the team that successfully landed the rover on Mars earlier this month will explain to students the mission and the technology behind the song's interplanetary transmission," NASA officials wrote in a statement. "Will.i.am will then premiere 'Reach for the Stars,' a new composition about the singer's passion for science, technology and space exploration."

During the event, NASA scientists and mission managers will talk about the Curiosity mission and explain the technology behind the broadcast to students. It won't be the first broadcast from space ? NASA used the Mars rover on Monday to broadcast a spoken message from the space agency's chief, Charles Bolden.

The musician will.i.am, a member of the Black Eyed Peas, was at JPL on Aug. 5 to watch Curiosity land on Mars. The car-sized, $2.5 billion rover is beginning a two-year mission to investigate whether Mars ever had the conditions necessary to support microbial life.

Belgian pedophile accomplice gets early release

Judge Albert Fettweis, centre, presides over a hearing for Michelle Martin at the Court of Cassation at the Justice Palace in Brussels on Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012. The highest court is considering whether to grant conditional early release to one of the nation's most despised criminals even though the accomplice and former wife of a pedophile and child killer let two of his victims starve to death. The Court of Cassation said Tuesday it can only rule on procedural issues in the decision by a lower court to allow Michelle Martin to go live in a convent after serving barely half of her 30-year sentence for her part in the mid-1990s kidnappings, rapes and killings of Marc Dutroux.

(AP) ? Belgium's highest court on Tuesday granted conditional early release to one of the nation's most despised criminals, the accomplice and former wife of a pedophile and child killer, even though she let two of his victims starve to death.

The Court of Cassation ruled that no procedural errors were made by a lower court to allow Michelle Martin to live in a convent after serving barely half of her 30-year sentence for her part in the mid-1990s kidnappings, rapes and killings by her then-husband, Marc Dutroux.

"The court rejects the appeals," a statement said after the panel assessed ones filed by the prosecutor's offices and some of the families of the victims.

It was unclear when Martin would be traveling to southern Malonne, where she will live in a Clarisse convent and, in the words of her lawyer, seek atonement for her crimes.

old-vs-new-permissions-designDo you know how many apps access your personal information on Facebook??Check your Facebook apps permissions and get ready for a surprise. In fact, Facebook keeps "improving" their design so that more of us will add apps on Facebook without realizing we're granting those apps (and their creators) access to our personal information. After all, this access to our information and identity is the currency Facebook is trading in and what is driving its stock up or down. It should be no surprise that in the new App Center Facebook made another leap forward in their efforts to get you to expose your personal info without realizing you're doing so. #1: The Single Button Trick In the old design Facebook used two buttons - "Allow" and "Don't Allow" - which automatically led you to make a decision. In the new App Center Facebook chose to use a single button. No confirmation, no decisions to make. One click and, boom, your done! Your information was passed on to the app developers and you never even notice it.

Ryan plans Tampa trip Tuesday as Isaac nears Fla.

(AP) ? Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan will head to Florida a day later than expected to accept his party's nomination.

Aides to the Wisconsin congressman confirmed Monday that Ryan will fly to Tampa, Fla., on Tuesday.

GOP officials already have trimmed the convention by a day, to three days, because of the threat from Tropical Storm Isaac. The storm was veering northwestward over the Gulf of Mexico on Monday. It was expected to become a hurricane and possibly hit the Gulf region late Tuesday.

Ryan was in his hometown of Janesville, Wis., on Monday to speak to students at his former high school.

He planned to spend the rest of Monday working with aides before heading to Tampa to address the convention on Wednesday night.

'Cyborg' tissues: Merging engineered human tissues with bio-compatible nanoscale wires

ScienceDaily (Aug. 26, 2012) ? Harvard scientists have, for the first, time created a type of "cyborg" tissue by embedding a three-dimensional network of functional, bio-compatible nanoscale wires into engineered human tissues.

As described in a paper published August 26 in Nature Materials, a multi-institutional research team led by Charles M. Lieber, the Mark Hyman, Jr. Professor of Chemistry at Harvard and Daniel Kohane, a Harvard Medical School professor in the Department of Anesthesia at Children's Hospital Boston developed a system for creating nanoscale "scaffolds" which could be seeded with cells which later grew into tissue.

Also contributing to the work were Robert Langer, from the Koch Institute at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Zhigang Suo, the Allen E. and Marilyn M. Puckett Professor of Mechanics and Materials at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.

"The current methods we have for monitoring or interacting with living systems are limited," said Lieber. "We can use electrodes to measure activity in cells or tissue, but that damages them. With this technology, for the first time, we can work at the same scale as the unit of biological system without interrupting it. Ultimately, this is about merging tissue with electronics in a way that it becomes difficult to determine where the tissue ends and the electronics begin."

The research addresses a concern that has long been associated with work on bioengineered tissue -- how to create systems capable of sensing chemical or electrical changes in the tissue after it has been grown and implanted. The system might also represent a solution to researchers' struggles in developing methods to directly stimulate engineered tissues and measure cellular reactions.

"In the body, the autonomic nervous system keeps track of pH, chemistry, oxygen and other factors, and triggers responses as needed," Kohane explained. "We need to be able to mimic the kind of intrinsic feedback loops the body has evolved in order to maintain fine control at the cellular and tissue level."

Using the autonomic nervous system as inspiration, Bozhi Tian, a former doctoral student under Lieber and former postdoctoral fellow in the Kohane and Langer labs, and collaborator Jia Liu worked in Lieber's lab at Harvard to build mesh-like networks of nanoscale silicon wires -- about 30 -- 80 nm in diameter -- shaped like flat planes or in a reticular conformation.

The process of building the networks, Lieber said, is similar to that used to etch microchips.

Beginning with a two-dimensional substrate, researchers laid out a mesh of organic polymer around nanoscale wires, which serve as the critical nanoscale sensing elements. Nanoscale electrodes, which connect the nanowire elements, were then built within the mesh to enable nanowire transistors to measure the activity in cells without damaging them. Once complete, the substrate was dissolved, leaving researchers with a net-like sponge or a mesh that can be folded or rolled into a host of three dimensional shapes.

Once complete, the networks were porous enough to allow the team to seed them with cells and encourage those cells to grow in 3D cultures.

"Previous efforts to create bioengineered sensing networks have focused on two-dimensional layouts, where culture cells grow on top of electronic components, or on conformal layouts where probes are placed on tissue surfaces," said Tian. "It is desirable to have an accurate picture of cellular behavior within the 3D structure of a tissue, and it is also important to have nanoscale probes to avoid disruption of either cellular or tissue architecture."

Using heart and nerve cells, the team successfully engineered tissues containing embedded nanoscale networks without affecting the cells' viability or activity. Using the embedded devices, they were able to detect electrical signals generated by cells deep within the tissue, and to measure changes in those signals in response to cardio- or neuro-stimulating drugs.

Researchers were also able to construct bioengineered blood vessels, and used the embedded technology to measure pH changes -- as would be seen in response to inflammation, ischemia and other biochemical or cellular environments -- both inside and outside the vessels.

Though a number of potential applications exist for the technology, the most near-term use, Lieber said, may come from the pharmaceutical industry, where researchers could use the technology to more precisely study how newly-developed drugs act in three dimensional tissues, rather than thin layers of cultured cells. The system might also one day be used to monitor changes inside the body and react accordingly, whether through electrical stimulation or the release of a drug.

Ruthless Man looks strong for Ladbrokes Greyhound Derby Plate ...

Ruthless Man looks strong for Ladbrokes Greyhound Derby Plate 550 Round 2 Heat 3

In the line-up of six hounds, the J. McGee trained black and white dog, Ruthless Man, looks to be the strongest candidate who is expected to replicate the same he did in the last race when he runs in the Ladbrokes Greyhound Derby Plate 550 Round 2 Heat 3 tonight, August 25.

The two-year-old veteran hound will break from the orange box to unleash his utmost firepower for the sake of the prize money worth ?100.

Winning the 2012 Ladbrokes Greyhound Derby Plate 550 Round 1 Heat 1 on August 16 without the favourite tag was a grand achievement by the dashing dog. The startling thing is that he won that race by the big margin of 6 lengths despite the fact that two of his rivals, Airforce Harlem and Eabhas Fantasy, performed very well.

Prior to this tremendous triumph, the talented son of Top Honcho out of Hillcroft Josie finished first emphatically in an open race on July 14. Since the dawn of the calendar year, he has been winning with regular intervals. His record in the OR format has been impressive and pleasant enough.

At this venue, Ruthless Man has made many marks. Thus, he will be able to march towards the finish line quite comfortably and convincingly tonight. The only competitor, who can impede him on the way, is Deanridge Viking.

Though the Price trained black dog does not pose to be a consistent performer but he has enough potential to trigger upsets.

The son of Head Bound out of Shellys Crown last won in April 2012 when he bagged a couple of consecutive triumphs.

As far as tonight?s marathon is concerned, Deanridge Viking will struggle hard to thrive, giving enough tough time to Ruthless Man.

Thus, both the mighty hounds will fight neck-to-neck, but the success is likely to befall on Ruthless Man who has prepared very well for this contest. ?

By the large, the spectators will get a lot of fun and excitement from the charged action. Let us be a part of this entertainment. Good luck to all the six hounds and exclusively to Ruthless Man.

    Video catches Israelis tasering Palestinian

    Graphic YouTube video shows Talal al-Sayyad being tasered repeatedly by Tel Aviv police while he is handcuffed and on the ground.

    By Lawahez Jabari, NBC News

    TEL AVIV ? A Palestinian resident of East Jerusalem has filed a complaint of police misconduct after an officer shocked him six times with an electric taser gun at a water park in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.

    He was handcuffed on the ground during the tasering, and his wife and five children were unfortunate onlookers. The whole incident was caught on video and has been making the rounds in the Israeli media.

    It marks yet another example of high-profile violence by Israelis against Palestinians that has consumed media headlines here recently.


    The incident
    The Palestinian, Talal al-Sayyad, a 42-year-old receptionist at Al-Maqased Hospital in East Jerusalem, was at the water park celebrating the Id-al- Fitr holiday marking the end of Ramadan with his family.

    The incident unfolded after the Tel Aviv police were called to the water park to control a brawl between two East Jerusalem families. The police used pepper spray to control one of the alleged participants in the fight. Sayyad, who was not involved in the brawl, attracted the officers? attention because he approached them, with his 3-year-old son in his arms, to ask them to stop using the pepper spray so liberally.

    Sayyad explained to NBC News in a phone interview what happened. ?I said, ?Please you scared my children, this?young man had no involvement in the incident.? The police officer raised the gun?to my face and ordered me not to interfere,? Sayyad said. ?

    Israelis fret over ?lynching? of Palestinian? ?

    At that point, he said he put his son on the ground and tried to explain to the police that the original fight was over and resolved. But that?s when the trouble really started.?

    ?He shot me with the electric gun. Even after I fell to the ground he shot me more and more,? said Sayyad. ?They handcuffed me and every time I?asked them not to shoot ??because it was extremely painful ? they shot me?over and?again repeatedly."

    The graphic video above, shot by a witness, shows him being tasered repeatedly ? even while a crowd of onlookers yell at the police officers to stop. One onlooker shouted, ?Stop! You?re killing him!?

    After the incident, Sayyad was taken for questioning by police from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. The police?accused him?of attacking a police officer.

    During questioning at the police station, a friend of Sayyad's brought the video of the incident to prove his innocence against the officers? claim.

    According to Sayyad, the interrogator responded to the video by saying, "I am sure you did not attack the police officer, but you were an obstacle to their operation.?

    When NBC News reached out to the Tel Aviv police for comment, Mickey Rosenfeld, the police spokesperson said that the suspect attacked a police officer and that the video released was?only a portion?of the?full incident. He added that the police action was justified because Sayyad presented a threat.

    The Israeli newspaper Haaretz report on the incident included a slightly longer statement from the police:?

    The Tel Aviv police said the film "was edited in a manner that does not reflect the complete picture. There was a massive brawl between two families from East Jerusalem, and several of the participants were wounded and had to be evacuated to receive treatment. Police officers who arrived at the scene were forced to separate the fighting sides and confront a crowd that incited all present to riot and impede the officers' work. The man in the film attacked the policeman and interfered with him in the line of duty. A Taser was used in order to control him."

    Pattern of violence?
    Sayyad?s incident was actually the third high-profile example of violence by Israelis directed at Palestinians in the last week.

    A mob of dozens of Israeli Jews beat a 17-year-old Palestinian Arab until he was unconscious in the wee hours of Aug 17. The youth ended up in a coma for two days after the incident. Although there were hundreds of bystanders, reportedly nobody intervened to stop the beating, and that led to soul-searching by Israeli Jews.?

    In another incident in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening, three Palestinian East Jerusalem residents were attacked on their way back from a Tel Aviv beach as they stopped at a parking lot to ask for directions. One man suffered a head injury and required eight stitches and the other sustained light injuries. The assailants also damaged the victims' car. The victims say they contacted the police, but no officers were sent to the scene.

    The recent violence has left many wondering if the incidents signal a larger trend.

    The results of a survey conducted by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung and Macro Center for Political Economics last year on young people in Israel seems to confirm fears that animosity among Israeli youth toward Palestinians is hardening. ?

    According to the study, 28 percent of Jewish Israelis?ages 15 to 18 said the word ?hatred? best expressed their feelings toward Arabs.? In addition, 72 percent said they definitely would not want Arab citizens of Israel?living in their neighborhood, and 77 percent said they would be unwilling to?invite an Arab to their homes. ?

    For Sayyad?s part, he is still suffering from injuries as a result of the tasering. But he believes the incident was part of a larger pattern of increased violence by Israelis against Arabs. ?

    ?"Had I been?Israeli, they wouldn't have done this to me. But when they heard me speaking in Arabic they used violence against me.? ?

In fact, happiness in marriage seems so difficult that many people I know have separated or divorced. Usually however, I note that these people search for happiness outside of the marriage first. This may be through increased extracurricular activities such as through hobbies or sporting activities. Others may increase their social activities, while a few seek happiness from other people. Sometimes, this search for happiness leads to an affair.

    For the first time in a long time the person seeking happiness starts getting wanted attention, making them feel good about themselves. This can lead to the desire to start focussing on their looks a bit more than previously. It is like dating all over again. Then there is the excitement of receiving the desired attention AND ?getting away with it.? Whether it be a text message that is sent when your partner?s back is turned, or that extra hour at work.

    Slowly the person is swept off their feet, walking on cloud nine and craving more. Ask anyone who has had an affair and they often can not explain how exactly it got so heated. ?It just happened,? you will often hear them say. ?One thing lead to another.? Affairs however do not just happen. It starts from the very moment you say or do anything with another person that you would not do if your partner was standing beside you. One thing leads to the other because the person makes that first move to begin with. Once that move is reciprocated, it doesn?t take long before you find yourself in the arms of another person.

    For some people, this will be the end. They will feel guilt or the fire will have burnt out. For others, it will continue. This is when things can get a little tricky. Let?s face it,?an affair is a relationship. This can sometimes be difficult to accept. One friend of mine, refused to admit she was having an affair, despite the fact that she openly admitted to sleeping with a man behind her husband?s back. She gawked at me telling her she was in a relationship. ?It is just sex,? she would say. Three months later she admitted to falling in love with her lover.* Relationships are hard work. Sometimes it is even difficult for me to meet the expectations of friends. Having a?partner AND a lover at the same time must be extremely difficult. It would be even worse if the lover wanted more than you are willing to offer.

    Let?s go through?a scenario. My husband works very closely with his Personal Assistant. All of his PA?s (so far I can count seven) have been females. As a Manager, it is his role to act as a mentor to his direct reports. The hubster is a fantastic Manager, however his desire to help and assist others, particularly those of the opposite sex, often results in office gossip. Let?s say that this gossip was true. As his wife, I?may notice some minor changes to his hours at work and his grooming. The gossip would surely increase, resulting in some cases, with others treating him differently. The office affair can lead to added attention behind closed doors or in conference rooms. Let?s say, they got caught in the throes of passion. Management may be informed, warnings issued and reputations marred. Work colleagues would surely react, some choosing to treat them?with disdain.

    Friendships could be lost, their work could be in jeopardy and the totality of this affair on their other relationships would no doubt have added pressures.

    Regardless of this, the PA has fallen for my husband and wishes to continue their affair. My husband, flattered by the added attention, continues the affair, not knowing the extent of feelings his PA has for him. She is now putting added pressure on my husband to meet up and respond to her text messages. Eventually, this affair is seeming like hard work. My husband starts pulling back, resulting in the PA feeling insecure. She starts making demands now. The hubster agrees to meet with the PA ?one last time? determined to tell her that the affair can no longer continue. The meeting, held behind my back of course, results in sex ?one last time.? The PA can sense that things aren?t quite right, but that there is still something there between her and the hubster. She seeks to maintain the excitement and happiness she once felt, but falls into the trap of acting desperately instead. While the hubster is showering, I hear three text messages come through on his phone. ?Last night was great. Thanks for meeting with me, I hope we can catch up again and repeat the performance,? the first reads. ?I miss the smell of you, the feeling of you in my arms,? the second one reads. ?Maybe we can catch up again tomorrow night?? the third one says.

    Imagine the conversation between the hubster and I! Not only has the hubster lost friends and respect at work, he now is potentially going to lose his marriage.

    The results of affairs spread so far out, that this one scenario only touches the edges. The ripple effect of having an affair can ruin so many lives. We have all heard of the jilted lover that has murdered. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ? that goes for lovers and wives!

    Before you embark any further in having that affair ? ask yourself if it is truly worth it. If there is nothing that can be done to save your current relationship, then end it. Have the relationship you want without putting yourself or others at risk.

    * By the way, my friend and her lover eventually got caught out. She wanted to continue the relationship, but he chose to work on his relationship with his wife. The insecurity and heartbreak she felt took her about a year to get over.
