In a word, YES - your relationship can still be saved even if you did something terrible. Unless you pointed a gun to your ex or shouted profanity at her down to her great grandmother, then you still have a chance.

I have been there to help people to save their relationship - that includes a friend of mine who was left by his wife for someone richer, younger, and better looking! Now before you rush off and do your moves, here's a word of warning:

Forget about what you see in the movies and reality TV shows! Getting down on one knee and begging wont cut it, neither will overwhelming them with text messages or "I love You" emails.

There's no director that shouts "Cut!" and gives you a second, third, or fourth take when things don't go as planned. These things are not the answers you seek to the "can my relationship be saved?" question.

Just after you break up your head is full of mixed emotions, some of these are normally quite intense and can well be very harmfull if allowed out. They make the situation more confusing! You'd sure go ballistic and end up doing the things I advised you stay away from if you don't take proper action.

The first step in making up to your Ex is clearing yourself of these feelings. How? By accepting the break up for now and giving them and yourself a little space.

The time you'll spend alone is crucial if ever you're going to get his or her heart back. During these hours, let it all out - the resentment, the pain, the anger, etc

Understanding why they left you is the next step to making up. Ask yourself questions like: Is it my clinginess, my indifference that shooed my ex away? Or have I become too repetitive and droning in our relationship?

Don't make excuses or reasons; critically and objectively answer those questions.

The final step is to change that attitude or that personality of yours that drove your ex away. And you better make sure that these changes are something you can keep.

Otherwise, you'd only be setting you and your ex for a stinging disappointment and a more painful breakup. This time it may be impossible for you to save it.

The plan I just talked you through is part of The Magic of Making Up. Be sure to check it out below.

After three decades of keeping mum, Barbara Walters is disclosing a past affair with married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke, whom she remembers as "exciting" and "brilliant."

<!----><!--===========IMAGE============--><!--===========/IMAGE===========-->

<!--===========CAPTION==========-->Barbara Walters says in her new book that she had an affair with Massachusetts Sen. Edward Brooke.<!--===========/CAPTION=========-->

Appearing on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" scheduled to air Tuesday, Walters shares details of her relationship with Brooke that lasted several years in the 1970s, according to a transcript of the show provided to The Associated Press.

A moderate Republican from Massachusetts who took office in 1967, Brooke was the first African-American to be popularly elected to the Senate. Both he and Walters knew that public knowledge of their affair could have ruined his career as well as hers, Walters says.

At the time, the twice-divorced Walters was a rising star in TV news and co-host of NBC's "Today" show, but would soon jump to ABC News, where she has enjoyed unrivaled success. Her affair with Brooke, which never before came to light, had ended before he lost his bid for a third term in 1978.

Life expectancy for American women is declining for the first time since the Spanish influenza epidemic in 1918, according to a new study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health. For another 7 percent or so, their life expectancy may not be getting worse, but it's not getting any better, either. The good news is that the decline in longevity has been linked to things that women can control.

Learn more about this historic drop in the life expectancy of American women, what's causing it, and how you (or the women you care about) can avoid becoming part of this disturbing trend.

common to recent versions of the Windows and Mac operating systems, such
as:

• Arial,


• Book Antiqua,

Serif fonts

Serif fonts are characterized by the flared extensions,
or strokes, on the tips of such letters as f, l, and i,
as seen in the screen shot below:

Examples of serif fonts include Times New Roman, Georgia,
and Book Antiqua.

Sans-serif fonts

Sans-serif fonts have plain endings, and appear blockier
than serif fonts. They do not have the flared extensions,
strokes, or other kinds of ornamentation. ("Sans" means without,
and "serif" refers to the extra strokes,
or lines.)

Sans-serif fonts include Arial, Tahoma, Trebuchet MS,
and Verdana.

Tahoma

Tahoma is another alternative to the Arial/Helvetica style
of font.

Trebuchet MS

Trebuchet is an attractive font, but it has subtle curved
embellishments that may decrease overall readability for
long passages of text.

Georgia

Georgia is like the other web fonts discussed so far in that it is
wider than similar fonts meant for print design. Unlike the other web
fonts, though, Georgia is a serif font, more along the lines of Times
New Roman

Results of the company-funded study of 1,000 patients known as Spirit III pitted Abbott's Xience against Boston Scientific Corp's Taxus stent. Xience proved significantly better at preventing scar tissue from renarrowing treated vessels, a measure known as in-segment late loss.

It also worked as well as Taxus in reducing rates of target vessel failure, a measure of re-treatment needed either because the device did not work or because of heart attacks or death.

And it cut major adverse cardiac events -- including heart attacks and heart-related deaths -- by 42 percent after one year.

an additional Seven Deadly Sins. The fresh abominations in the eyes of the Lord were announced by Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, head of the Vatican body that oversees confessions and plenary indulgences. This organization goes by the contrition-inducing name of the Apostolic Penitentiary. In an article in the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Bishop Girotti detailed the seven new ways we can go to hell or, at the minimum, be sentenced to afterlife in purgatory at the Apostle Pen. The bishop's supersizing of the mortal transgression catalog is thoroughly up-to-date (as translated by the Times of London):

1. Drug abuse

2. Morally debatable experimentation

3. Environmental pollution

4. Causing poverty

5. Social inequality and injustice

6. Genetic manipulation

7. Accumulating excessive wealth

A deadly sins addendum is long overdue. Life has changed since Pope Gregory the Great scribbled his initial list in the sixth century. For one thing modern society has turned Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Sloth, and Greed into virtues: building self-esteem, dreaming your dream, exercising gourmet tastes, having satisfying sex for life, speaking truth to power, being relaxed and centered. And Gordon Gekko said it all about greed.

Unfortunately Bishop Girotti's late-model sins make as little sense as a Jeremiah Wright sermon. They have no gravitas. Imagine the reaction in the confessional when you say, "Father, I have littered." Plus the supplementary desecrations lack a certain flair. The beauty of Pope Gregory's lineup was that he nailed our most devilish villainies with one word each. His seven evocative nouns produced an instant mental image: a puffed-up, shifty-eyed, fat cat furiously ripping the thong off a young intern on a slow night in the Oval Office.

We've all gotten error messages in Windows, and we generally all take the same approach to getting to the bottom of the error: by searching the contents of the message in Google. The annoying part of this process has always been that you can't select and copy text in the error message box, so you have to try manually typing out the error message. But the ChuckOp's eXPeriences blog points out there's another, much simpler solution.

Apparently since Windows 2000, you've been able to copy the entire error message to your clipboard by hitting the universal copy shortcut, Ctrl-C (who knew?!). That means the whole process of hunting down obscure error messages—especially those containing cryptic error codes—just got a whole lot easier.

The fingerprints of human-caused climate change are evident in seasonal timing changes for thousands of species on Earth, according to dozens of studies and last year's authoritative report by the Nobel-prize winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

More than 30 scientists told The Associated Press how global warming is affecting plants and animals at springtime across the country, in nearly every state.
