Confronting your lover's lover

Is it a good idea to confront your partner's other lover?

Cheaters. Hot topic. Just ask Gwyneth. But if you caught someone cheating on you, is it wise to confront the third party?
When I was at university, I found myself involved with a guy who later turned out to be married.
He also turned out to be an Evangelical Christian (whole other kettle of Ichthys).

 Long story short, it all came to a head when I, confused and bruised, decided that I couldn’t let the relationship continue, and so ended it, despite his protestations.

Real bodies to reap rewards

BRING on the ''real women'' photo spreads: Australia's glossiest images can now vie for the federal government's Positive Body Image Awards.
In an echo of the Australian Heart Foundation's tick campaign, winners of the new awards will be able to use a Body Image Award Winner symbol on their products such as magazines, websites and advertising campaigns.
''I certainly believe that companies would want that symbol,'' said Australian Women's Weekly editor Helen McCabe, who will chair the award panel. ''Women are now very aware of pictures that have been overly Photoshopped or digitally altered.''

Nike is going back to the future.
The sneaker maker says it has created a limited-edition shoe based on a glowing pair that appeared in the popular 1989 movie Back to the Future II.

 The 2011 Nike Mag is designed to be an exact replica of the fictional sneaker, including a glowing Nike name on the strap. But unlike the movie version, these shoes won't lace themselves.

Nike will release 1500 pairs of the 2011 Nike Mag sneaker for auction on eBay and donate all proceeds to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's disease research. Fox famously played Marty McFly in the Back to the Future time-travel trilogy, where he wore the shoes during a visit to the year 2015.
"It hasn't gone unnoted by us that there is something special about that shoe and, of course, the movie," said famed Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield, who helped design the original shoe and worked on the latest version.

'Is this real?': tapes reveal 9/11 horror

"Did you just say somethin' hit the World Trade Centre?" an incredulous military official asked shortly after the beginning of America's terrorism nightmare on September 11, 2001.
Minutes later, with air traffic authorities warning that another commercial jet was off course and just 10km from the White House, Washington ground control sounded in denial, saying it was "probably just a rumour".
