You might be surprised to find out that getting that college degree isn't the hardest thing you'll do in life. Once you enter the workforce in search of that big paycheck, that's when the real work begins.
At entry level, every penny counts, so take full advantage of any company-offered retirement plan. It may not seem like something you need to prioritize and save toward, but inertia is a powerful thing. The sooner you begin to set money aside for your retirement, the more time your money will have to grow. And if your employer matches your contributions to your 401(k) how could you afford not to save?
The best time to invest aggressively is when you're young because you have time on your side to recover from any risky investments that don't pay off.
You should explore your options, not just with investing, but also when choosing a bank. Recent studies have shown that young adults visit the ATM more often than the average bank customer because they tend to be more cash-centric. So, if that's important to you, find a bank with many branches, or one that reimburses you for ATM fees.
Young adults tend to oversimplify budgeting their money. Many admit to not monitoring their finances as closely as they should. Often all they want to check is: Is the money there? What's the balance? And is there a bill due?
If this is your case, look for a bank that offers budgeting tools and ways to better monitor your account -- like low-balance notifications and bill-pay alerts.
Remember, each generation faces its own challenges when it comes to finances, with unique wants and needs. It's important to do what's best for you at your current life stage.

Wonderful Rollerball Application - Feels Great On Skin
The facial serum comes boxed.
It comes in a small round plastic bottle with 3 silver roller ball applicators on top and a screw on lid.
The facial serum works to fight the visible signs of ageing.
Helps with wrinkles, puffiness, visible pores and un even skin tone.
Used at night after cleansing and toning, its a serum that works while you sleep.
The serum is a translucent cream emulsion with a thick fluid consistency.
Texture is damp, smooth, light and non greasy.
Has a natural aroma, smells like rosehip, its pleasant.
To start application massage the roller ball applicator from the base of neck to chin, then outwards to the jaw, cheeks and side of nose, then finally the forehead, massaging in circular motion.
The silver balls feel cool and soothing on skin, the massaging is a lovely treat.
The balls transfer a thin layer of serum over skin as you massage, feels cool, damp and lightweight on skin.
Takes several minutes to absorb and dry, smoothing skin.
I then apply night and eye cream as part of my evening skincare routine.
I like the serum, my skin absorbs it easily, its hydrating for skin, full of beneficial anti oxidants that conditions and gives skin a healthy appearance.

Excellent lightweight serum
- Packaging: Plastic tube with tri-roller (three roller balls) delivery system. Screw-on cap. Handy for travel. Feels heavy and luxurious.
- Scent: I can't place it, it's a light floral scent that doesn't linger.
- Texture: lightweight, easily absorbed serum.
- Nothing miraculous in terms of how my skin looks but at least it feels nice and nourished. No complaints, just a nice little treat at the end of the day.

Relaxing Rollerballs!
Three mini sized roller balls on the top of this 20ml canister tube makes for a very relaxing massage around my eye and upper cheek areas. As it is a oil-based serum I don't use it on my T-zone or other areas or I'd probably just break out. So this is perfect for my dryer areas which never breakout no matter what I put on them!
If I had to say one word for this product it would be 'RELAXING' as it totally massages gently with a good quality natural serum so it's like a mini convenient pamper session for my dry areas.
It doesn't really have a smell - just a faint oil type of smell. It's a secure screw-top lid which makes it fine for taking on holidays which is where you may love to use it. The size is a slim tube which could easily fit in the handbag/travel bag/desk drawer etc. The price makes it really good value.
If you are in the market for a relaxing, simple serum-like skin product then this would be your answer!
Made in Australia, against animal testing and free of any nasty ingredients. Well worth the money!

Wake up softer
The problem with serums are I never know if it's working, or if it's just the moisturiser. So I tried my moisturiser with and without Puretopia serum and slept on the results. I woke up softer after the Puretopia.
I needed the test because the serum sinks in so rapidly and feels utterly weightless. Great stuff for those of us with little patience. Alas, I had no patience for the three-ball roller top. It clogged, was awkward around my nose and bumps etc and I wanted more than the applicator gave me. A couple of twists and the roller tip was off, and I could pour out what I needed. The roller is replaceable.
One thing I'd like to add: I didn't use the serum for a month and notice that it had separated, a clear liquid on top of the white cream. A good shake emulsified everything again, but I've never had separation before in other products, moisturisers or serums, including those I haven't used in a year.

Purely Essential!
Puretopia is Australian made and owned, the products are 100% sulphate and paraben free, no synthetic fragrances or artificial colours, no propylene glycol, no DEA,TEA or silicones, they are against animal testing, and the packaging is recyclable - now that's impressive. I thank BH for giving me the opportunity to try this divine serum. This is the first serum I have ever tried that is packaged as a tri roller massager and I just love the feel as I roll this on my skin. I massage the roller upwards from the base of my neck to my chin, then from my chin outwards to the jaw, cheeks and the side of my nose, finish off by rolling across the forehead in a circular motion – concentrating on problem areas. This helps with visible signs of ageing – wrinkles, puffiness, loss of firmness, visible pores and uneven skin tone. The steel rollers feel so cooling and the ingredients in the serum are just heavenly – Oil from Argan, Seabuckthorn, Bilberry, Blackcurrant, Cranberry, Rosehip and Shea Butter. While you sleep your skin is being spoilt with the benefits of antioxidants, Omegas 3,6 and 9 and vitamins to give a softer, more vibrant, plumped, younger skin. There is no real definite scent either, it's very subtle really. After using this for more than 2 months, before applying my Puretopia Night Cream, I have noticed a huge difference in my skin and I am loving the effects. This serum is for everyone, every skin type, it's just beautiful and it's so affordable.
So refreshing when you apply the serum in an airconditioned room - the cooling effect is sensational!

Glosscars Nomination - Puretopia
When I first heard about this range I could not wait for it to hit the shelves of chemists and Priceline stores. Puretopia has a great range of skin and body products at affordable prices and most importantly they are kind to your skin without any nasties.
This facial serum was one product from the range that I just had to try!! Hearing all the amazing ingredients such as argan and seabuckthorn which have been hailed as the holy grail ingredients when it comes to hair and skin health for their repairing, moisturising properties, omega fatty acids and other beneficial nutrients.
The product comes in a roller tube with three roller balls which get massaged along the face and neck when applying the product. The product itself is very light and fluid like in consistency.
The roller balls have an amazing cooling sensation on the skin and you can roller all over the face and even eye area (the product is light enough to use around delicate eye tissue).
This product instantly absorbs into my skin. I keep it in my bag for applications throughout the day for a pick me up and nourishment to the skin.
My skin appears to look more vibrant and awake when using this product. The product toghether with the massaging balls seem to take away that tired look and help diminish those under eye bags.
The product is mess free and I can even apply it without my fingers or without looking in the mirror to see what I'm doing. I can be on the couch feeding bub and giving myself a little pick me up at the same time.
This is the first product I have tried from the Puretopia range and I'm really pleased with the results and keen to try more of this affordable fab range. Highly recommend :)

Amazing product that works!
I won this product thanks to bh and its amazing the roller action can be a little jarring and hard to get use to but thats the only bad point it goes on great and a little really goes along way I used it on my more njoticeable wrinkles like around my eyes, mouth and forehead and noticed that they soften quite a bit its so light that you can use it under cream and soaks up super fast you can even put makeup on over it a couple of minutes after using this will be buying it again!

Actually worth the price!
I've used this product for over a month now and I'm pretty impressed! I'm prone to dry, sensitive skin which can get red and irritated during the summer months. Since using this serum, I've noticed a reduction in redness around my nose and my skin feels very smooth and soft. I know you're supposed to use it with a mosituriser, but since I'm in my 20s I find that combination is too rich for my skin.
I'd say this product is ideal for those who want to invest in their skin, whilst being environmentally conscious. I love how this serum sinks in without leaving a greasy residue or overpowering scent. A little goes a long way which is great if you're a student with very little disposable income!

A delicious meal for the skin.
Thank you Beauty Heaven for sending this serum to me as a prize. I've been using it for a few weeks now. Although it is intended as a night serum, I do apply it some mornings as well.
The serum is packaged in a tube with three steel balls at the end to massage your skin. While this is a hygienic way to apply the serum, it can be a bit awkward. Around the nose and chin a more flexible applicator would be preferable. The 20 ml contents last forever (or nearly).
I love the natural ingredients in this serum - argan, seabuckthorn, bilberry, shea, blackcurrant and cranberry. A delicious meal for the skin. It worked as a great moisturiser and left my skin feeling soft to touch. However, my wrinkles and pores remained undiminished, so there were no miraculous results in terms of the look of my skin.
The instructions say to follow with moisturiser, but I did not find the need to apply any moisturiser over this - my skin looked and felt moisturised enough from the serum.

I think this would be ideal for any skin. For a younger person with oily skin I might avoid the oilier sections, but this

OK serum
Thanks BH for the serum prize. Normally it costs $24.95 for 20mls.
This facial serum presents differently from other serums.
The difference being, it has three stainless steel rotating rollers so that, as you apply the serum, it gently massages your face and neck. This process also stimulates your circulation.
It is also a very hygienic way to apply the serum as it does not contaminate the remaining serum in the bottle.
Easy to follow instructions are on the box...start from the neck upwards in a circular motion. Also apply at night after your normal skin care routine.
The serum is pale, thin and soft. I did not notice any scent. I loved applying the serum with the rollers as they felt cool and refreshing. The rollers also help to apply the serum evenly.
The serum just melted into my skin and I loved the feel of it. I have applied a little extra to two areas of uneven skin tone and they are slightly less noticeable now. My skin does look healthier. The serum contains natural ingredients.....no nasties. It is not tested on animals and the packaging is recyclable.
The results may be better if you use other Puretopia skin care products with it. Suitable for sensitive skin.

FORT EDWARD, N.Y. (AP) - General Electric Company has filed a lawsuit against National Grid seeking funds to cover the cleanup costs of contaminated sediment from the upper Hudson River.
GE announced the suit Monday, just as crews began a fourth year of dredging poly-chlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, from the river. The Fairfield, Conn.-based company released PCBs into the river decades ago, and is dredging the river as part of a federal Superfund project that's expected to cost more than $1 billion.
In a federal complaint filed Friday, GE says National Grid's predecessor, Niagara Mohawk, removed a dam near Fort Edward in 1973 that caused more than 1 million cubic yards of contaminated sediment to wash downstream.
There was no initial comment from National Grid.

MI Senate begins voting on budgets
By Laura Weber, Michigan Public Radio Network
The state Senate began approving budget proposals Tuesday at the state Capitol. The lawmakers debated funding for Michigan's prisons, the Department of Education, and for community colleges.
The Senate also voted on state funding for universities. The budget cuts funding by three percent, and includes a new line-item that would require research universities to provide detailed reports of embryonic stem cell research.
Republican state Senator Tom George says the reports would not affect the decision by voters to allow for embryonic stem cell research.
"I would point out that the current higher-ed budget contains 23 separate reports which we ask of our, of our universities," he says. "And why do we do this? We do this to inform our decision making."
Senate Democrats oppose the measure to require embryonic stem cell reports. It is not expected to make much headway in the Democrat-led state House. Governor Granholm also opposes additional restrictions on embryonic stem cell research.

De Ocampo shares MVP plum with team, says they're all winners
More News from Celest R. Flores
MANILA, Philippines — He was certainly the Most Valuable Player of the 2012-2013 PBA Philippine Cup finals, but Ranidel De Ocampo believes the entire Talk N' Text squad should be given that honor.
And it was that exact unselfish mentality that has molded the Texters — who zoomed to a historic third straight All-Filipino Cup title on Wednesday — to the force they are now in the league.
"Masaya ako kasi first award ko ito as finals MVP. Pero lahat naman kami dito sa team deserving sa award. Lahat kami finals MVP," 31-year-old forward said in an interview.
In the 105-82 clincher of a victory, the Texters put on a clinic– registering a league-conference high 34 assists, lighting up from downtown in the fourth quarter, and just systematically warding off the Elastopainters.
It was a display of brilliance that could describe how Talk N' Text played the entire finals series.
De Ocampo's contribution was unmistakable. A steady average of 18 points, eight rebounds and 3.5 assists in four games, playing for a squad who had pieces capable of going off any time in the offense.
The cunning forward was even in the running for the Best Player of the Conference plum, which ended up in the hands of teammate Jayson Castro.
"Hindi naman factor samin kung sino yung best player or MVP. Yung mga ganong award, extra lang samin yun. Ang importante sami yung manalo ng championship," shared De Ocampo.
It has been Talk N' Text's sixth trip to the finals in the last seven conferences, but the organization never stop running out of reasons chase another hardware.
And having another entry in the history books within their reach was just enough motivation to keep the Texters even hungrier for a victory in the finals.
"Ito yung best team na nalaruan ko as a professional," De Ocampo said. "Dati kasi sabi nila sa PBA, pera-pera lang, Sariling career lang ang iniisip. Pero dito (sa Talk N' Text) lahat kami gusto manalo."

GBC Motorsports-backed racer Dustin Nelson came home with hardware this weekend after the first and second rounds of the SR1 Championship Series.
On night one Nelson earned the pole qualifying spot behind the wheel of his Yamaha Motor USA/Weller Racing SR1 car. He carried that momentum over to the race, where he took the checkers and the first place trophy. This is the first time he had driven this car, which was delivered to him at the race. Nelson chose to use the GBC Motorsports Dirt Tamers for the first night.

No more tears for Jolina Magdangal
There's no dull moment when you talk to Jolina Magdangal — who took the marital plunge last November 21 with Rivermaya's Mark Escueta. So, when we learned that the versatile singer-actress would be gracing the "KapuSong Pasko" concert at SM Davao last weekend, with Mark Herras, Sam Pinto, Ryza Cenon, "Protégé's" Lovely Embuscado and Jaya, we hopped on a plane and "crashed" GMA 7's merry-making in the south.
And, we're glad we did, because we weren't just entertained by Jolina and Jaya's crowd-pleasing hits and heart-warming carols at the concert, we also enjoyed watching Mark strut his terpsichorean swagger in front of mostly shrieking, swooning females.
The lovely Sam also entertained us with a spirited account of her sexy cover pictorial for FHM this month.
But, it was really Jolina who glowed more than anybody during the event — and with good reason. When we finally caught up with her at the Waterfront Hotel, we asked, "Is married life all it's cracked up to be?"
She beamed, "Since the wedding, Mark and I have been busy entertaining friends and family from the States. Kaiba kasi ang arrangement namin, because we didn't have a proper honeymoon after the nuptials.
Good time
"This may sound cheesy — but, I'm loving every minute of it, because I really enjoy being with Mark. We always have a good time together — even when we're just malling, eating ice cream, strolling in the park, or chatting in the garden. We've been a couple for two and a half years now — at nagugulat ang iba na everything happened so fast.
"But, I realized na hindi pala sa tagal o bilis ng samahan nakasalalay ang success ng isang relationship — mararamdaman mo na lang if it's meant for you! You don't even have to look for it. After going through a couple of heartbreaks, the minute I said, 'Bahala na si God sa akin,' ibinigay N'ya — instantly! Siguro, kahit wala na kaming mga ngipin, magkakaintindihan pa rin kami ni Mark (laughs)!"
How different is her hubby from her past boyfriends? Jolina replies, "Ang nakita ko sa kanya, hindi ko na in-expect sa kahit kaninong lalaki — but, he proved me wrong. Hindi ko alam na may magmamahal pa pala sa akin ng ganito — he still opens doors for me!
"One time, dumalaw s'ya sa Tagaytay at ginabi, dahil nakipag-bingo pa sa amin. Then, my mom said, 'O, gabi na, pauwiin mo na 'yan.' I pleaded with her, 'Let him sleep on the couch — ate and I will sleep in the bedroom.' She said, 'If he really likes you, he'll come back tomorrow' — and he did! He hasn't changed, even after almost three years!"
"Naisip ko nga, ang dami ko nang naranasan sa show biz: Nagka-crush ako, na-infatuate, na-in love, nagka-boyfriend — na akala ko, dun na papunta, pero wala… Kaya siguro pinadaan ako sa mga bagay-bagay, para mas lalo kong ma-appreciate 'pag dumating na talaga ang para sa akin! Do I love him more than he loves me? Mahal ko si Mark, pero pinapakita n'ya sa akin na mas love n'ya ako!"
OK, let's change the topic: She's been singing professionally since she was a kid, as a member of Ryan Cayabyab's 14K. What's one advice from Mr. C that still works for her? Jolina quickly replies, "Do your best, even during rehearsals — para 'pag show na, you're just enjoying yourself!"
Love songs
She has a distinctive singing voice — and she doesn't sound like any other singer. What kind of music is she partial to? The 33-year-old singer-actress admits, "I prefer love songs, the easy-listening variety. Gusto ko 'yung nakaka-relax, habang umuulan — I'll sing for you while you're crying (giggles)!"
So, does she cry when she sings to herself? Her kooky reply: "Ah, hindi naman masyado — konti lang. Actually, hindi na! — Hindi na daw, o (laughs)!"
Truth is, it takes a lot to make Jolina cry these days. She explains, "Last Monday [Nov. 2], Kyla also got married. Veil ako, kasama nina Rachelle Anne [Go] and Karylle. But, what happened afterwards surprised me: When Kyla was about to enter, binigyan ko sila ng tissue, kasi, sabi ko, 'O, ayan, hawakan n'yo, kasi ilang kasal na ang napuntahan ko — at palagi ako'ng umiiyak!
"Then, I said, 'Trust me, iiyak kayo!' Indeed, when we saw Kyla, both Rachelle and Karylle cried — but,for the first time, I didn't! Siguro, dahil wala na akong longing for something or someone — because I already have everything I want!"

Great cake recipe. However I find the frosting to come up short so I recommend increasing the it by 1/2 or doubling it and using the left over frosting on graham crackers.

WHO Panel To Assess Whether H1N1 Pandemic Has Peaked
The World Health Organization's top influenza expert said on Thursday it would convene its emergency committee later this month to examine whether the H1N1 flu pandemic has peaked, Reuters reported.
Keiji Fukuda told a news conference they are hoping that the "worst is behind us".
The committee, which makes recommendations on the state of a pandemic to WHO Director-General Margaret Chan, will decide whether the H1N1 pandemic declared in June had entered a post-peak or transition phase, he said.
Fukuda believes that designating a transition phase in this way — indicating that the pandemic is continuing but the overall trend is back toward seasonal patterns of influenza — would help national health authorities look to the future.
Fukuda warned that even if the WHO decided the pandemic had peaked, the virus remained active, causing disease and death, and could continue to flare up in some regions, as it had done recently in West Africa.
"The ending of a pandemic cannot be construed an abrupt on-or-off situation," he added.
He also explained that while laboratory-confirmed deaths total more than 15,000, the real toll is likely to be much higher, although that will not be established for a year or two.
A firm date has not yet been set for the WHO's emergency committee meeting, but Fukuda believes it would probably be in the last week of February.
Next week, another group of influenza experts would meet to make recommendations on the composition of the flu vaccine for the next northern hemisphere influenza season. The recommendations will be published on February 18.
"H1N1 remains the most dominant influenza virus, so it is possible that it would be included in the next seasonal jab," Fukuda added.

Re: Where to next ?
Assuming you still,want to stay in Andalucia you could consider any of these -
Alhama de Granada, Ronda, Gaucin, Jimena de la Frontera,Casares.
All have spectacular scenery and almost no tower block type hotels.
But to really get away from "built up areas" it is usually necessary to go even further inland because of the never ending development that has taken place close to the coast.

Re: Where to next ?
if you liked Frigiliana, then in the same area there are Competa, Canillas de Aceituno, Comares, and as said, Alhama de Granada.
Depends what you want to do and how long you want to stay for, they all have their own attractions..

High Time I Wrote This StoryI haven't been on EP much. Life has been pretty hectic. I'm in my last year of school and trying to get my grades up, so I hardly come online. Moreover, I don't have an internet connection 24/7 anymore. My dad gives it to me when he feels like it, and nowadays I just don't feel like coming online.
EP has provided a lot of support for me. I've met amazing people here and have grown as a person because of them. I'm not leaving this site because it holds too many memories, but at the same time I don't like coming to it much either because of those same memories.
The only sites I visit these days when I get the time/internet connection is facebook. If my friends have no problem, I'd like to add them there to keep in touch with them better. =] PM me sometime.
Hopefully I'll be back again. I miss writing stories here. =[ Till then, I wish you all happiness in your lives. Always keep smiling. =]

"I'm not leaving this site because it holds too many memories, but at the same time I don't like coming to it much either because of those same memories. "
Classic repression. For your nature I think it's a Fallen God situation. This kind of responses come from people♥ who were very creative...almost illuminated, who sometime before, just, lost their intelligence.
So this is why!

Good Luck!
Same thing here with logging on. Good luck with your grades I'm routing for ya
All the best for your last year. I know you can do it. =)
*manly chest pump and then hugs Soul Sistah tightly* Miss you. Glad I can still stalk you on Facebook. =]

I have to say nothing in this life really surprises me anymore!!!! I adored Bruce Jenner and watched almost every minute of the 1976 Olympics. I was thirteen years old and I'm pretty sure he was my first crush!!!! At first when I heard I was a bit pissed off and I felt let down like not MY Bruce Jenner. I watched the Diane Sawyer interview, it left me so confused ~ sad, disappointed and angry. He is making a transition to go away, HIS identity will be no more, it's like he's dying little by little, it wipes out a piece of my childhood. But okay it's not about me and millions of americans that maybe feel the same way, but it is about his FAMILY, they need to mourn this as a loss….in HIS happiness there will be so much pain, for him and his loved ones. Some people play this off as no big deal but it's not like he's gay and finally coming out he would still be Bruce in his skin just living his life with the sexual preference he desires. He would still be at Family functions as Bruce maybe with a different partner NBD!!! But to change the biology of who you are to mess with science and transform into something else physically to wear women's clothing just becomes very disturbing, I'm sorry but when he goes golfing with his sons in a little white skirt and boobies please don't tell me for one minute they will not be uncomfortable. Please don't tell me his young daughters will see there Dad (this man they look up to as a strong strapping man) in a dress wearing a bra and panties and think everything will be normal!!!!! This hurts me to even think about this but okay not about me!! So what about the sex change how does he really know when he gets there that he's even gonna like it???? And then to keep his peepee and still want women so call me un-educated but what does that make him or the women he's with??? Diane Sawyer and many people will ask the same question, guess what he even wasn't sure!!! I'm gonna stop now but ugh no more Bruce my wheaties box will never be the same…….
Posted at 5:31 PM on May 28, 2015
It is a difficult concept to understand. But as I listened to the Diane Sawyer interview, it helped clarify some aspects of it. What I'm about to say I mentioned to another person here last week and that is, Mother Nature doesn't always get it right. Some babies are born with both male and female sex organs. Grown men have discovered that they've had an ovary their entire life. But hormone balance (or imbalance) is such a complicated subject. Just imagine the difficult decisions that parents have to make when their beautiful newborn appears female but has testicles. Many specialists are brought in for consultations, and parents must sometimes decide how they will raise their child — male or female. This involves administering hormones at various stages of growth and development, especially at puberty. Sometimes radical surgery is perform on an infant to make it look like one sex or the other. What if Bruce and many others in his situation are like this?
As far as Kris Jenner goes, she knew before she married Bruce that he had taken female hormones for at least five years before they met. She knew he liked to dress up in women's clothing. According to Bruce, Kris thought this "was just his thing." If his girls (Kendall and Kylie) found his nail polish and makeup when they were much younger, wasn't that enough to get the family to wonder about him years ago? I've always thought that Bruce Jenner had an effeminate appearance and demeanor about him — even when he won the gold medal (maybe that was just the goofy haircut — but we all had those back in 1976!) I don't know. We can debate this for years. But I think he has been fighting an internal battle his entire life, and it may well have started at birth or conception. His strive to win the decathlon was most likely his way of channelling his frustrations and confusions (of which there were no doubt many).
Bruce needs to quit hedging when his kids ask him questions. If he has appointments to modify his appearance even more, then he should just tell them. He shouldn't say, "I don't know" when, in fact, he does know what his next moves will be. His change is inevitable. The best thing he can do for his kids is to be honest and straightforward.
Posted at 6:11 PM on May 28, 2015
I respect all that you have to say, I know that many parent's face incredibly hard decisions with cases like the ones you speak of. I think dealing with it from birth allows the child, parents, siblings and other Family members to get the proper counseling they may need to deal with such a difficult decision. But in Bruce's situation he has lived for 65 years, so many relationships and people that now have to be a huge part of the decision that he is choosing to make. I know this will be debated forever but what i'm mainly saying here is that this is a big deal and it needs to be processed that way. Other people facing this or look up to Bruce should't be led to think this is an easy process. And medically it may not even be so safe, it's real and it happens i'm not ignorant to that but not without altering the lives of many people.
Posted at 2:51 AM on May 25, 2015
I absolutely respect Bruce Jenner's decision to finally become who he's always felt he is; that being said, I feel that he owes more to the family (families) he's built than to do this at such a late period in all of their lives. I hesitate to use the word selfish because that isn't what I think this is about. But he has the money and obviously, now, the ansite desire to transition so why not do it before now? When there are so many people who love and know him as Bruce, and not a female version? Kris' is so lost , I feel for her! At the same time I feel for Bruce and how tough all of this is for him as well. I am not judging, just showing my concern for the ramifications of his de ion at this point and time.

I am watching the show leading up to the Diane Sawyer interview and it's very emotional, for me as well as Bruce's family. I just hope everyone involved is able to move past the upset in the family and continue to love and support each other. Father, bless all of them and grant them peace.
Posted at 1:14 PM on May 25, 2015
I agree with you. Bruce is very brave to do this and I think he's been very concerned about how this will affect his kids. He has done everything he could to make sure they are okay. He and Kris raised a loving, loyal family. Everything has been done through Bruce's therapy for their benefit. The family will be fine and Bruce can be happy in his body for the first time. Everyone wins!
Posted at 7:40 PM on May 27, 2015
I'm all for it if you don't lead your wife on for 25 years. She should have a chance to be with someone she prefers. That's why she married a man because that's what she thought she was getting and I really felt for Bruce until he told Khloe her opinion didn't matter and he only cared what Kylie and Kendall thought. I mean he walked the Kardashian women down the Isle for christ sakes.He is selfish in my opinion for dragging this family threw this and saying he didn't care what they thought. KHLOE was so hurt and that's why she's having a hard time with the issue nit because he's becoming a women. I was beside myself.and disgusted in him as a person.

What about babies who are born with both male and female genitalia — external, internal or a little of both? Often parents must make an election at birth how they want to raise their child Male? Female? These decisions are made after consulting with geneticists, pediatric specialists, etc. And from that point on, the baby is sometimes given hormones at various stages of growth. Sometimes surgery is required. Mother Nature doesn't always get it right. Imagine being born this way, and what if your parents make the wrong choice about how to proceed? This is a no-win situation. It is not for us to judge what Bruce Jenner decides to do at this point. He did what was expected of him by society, by his parents, his partners, his children — all under the shroud of confusion and struggle.;For all of us who have not been in this situation, we should be grateful.

I completely agree i just explained this situation with my husband! Bruce is a wonderful person and has done everything right in this situation, our prayers are with you bruce! And your family! You are making a difference! Your going to open a lot of peoples eyes and they will finally understand that god doesn't get it right all the time and you are giving so many people a platform to come out and be respected and welcomed with open arms! No judging or hate! Go bruce!
Deana O.
Posted at 10:53 PM on May 26, 2015
God doesn't always get it right? That's a bold statement to make. I agree that Bruce should be allowed to be the person he needs to be, but the truth is he IS hurting his family in the process. If he has had these feelings from a very young age then why go and marry and create all of these children? He was taking hormones prior to marrying Kris. He knew that he wanted to be a woman long ago. Of course his family has to go along with it. What other choice do they have? I am also sick of having this thrown in my face on a daily basis. Become whatever you want, I don't need it plastered all over the media to explain to my children. I don't see how this makes him such a "hero."

I think Bruce Jenner is being honest with the world. I know it is hard for him to admit to something of this nature. A person feels what they feel. There are so many medical issues that people deal with everyday that others do not understand and this is one of those. He is not guy, he feels as though he has female tendencies. I know lots of people like that, doesn't mean their sick. It is natures way of messing up. Don't feel sorry for him this is his truth within coming out. Hats off to him for being an honest person.

I think this is absolutely disgusting. Bruce is 65 and this absurd. He should have taken his issues to the Lord in prayer. He looks like an idiot "changing" his life, his children's and grandchildren's lives by wanting to be something he CANNOT BE. He was born a man so that's what he is. The world needs to pick up a bible. This is SICK

Not everyone has the gift of knowing the Lord personally.. If you want this person to seek out the Lord… then encourage him to do so in a positive way. Personally I think he's messed up… who knows why, other than the evil that occupies this world.. but really, not everyone has the gift of knowing the Lord or understanding what the Lord intended.. Sometimes it's not quite so black and white and easy.. I've friends of many walks of life and Jesus instructed us to love one another.. You do NOT have to love what they do, but being judgmental certainly won't help him or any of us for that matter. Judge not lest ye be judged!

Vonna, your ignorance is amazing! It is, however, on par with your grasp of grammar and spelling. Why would anything Bruce does he any of your business? I must ask what you think he's not being truthful about? I'm curious. I think this is something that took great courage to go public with. I admire him for being so concerned about his family. I do think he hurt his kids by doing it, but he is trying to address any issues and in the end, this loyal, loving family will be just fine. Oh, before I go, see this dot. . That's a period. Most of us use it to end a sentence. Now if you could figure out to apply it correctly, you might be as smart as an eight year old.

Bruce Jenner: An Olympic Gold Medal Winner, now retired, and ready to be Free. Nothing is more satisfying than Freedom in all aspects of life! You are an amazing human being, one who had the courage to come forward with an educational and sensitive description of what you have been going through all of your life. You have now given hope to many others struggling with gender identity, also hope to many parents struggling with their child saying he/ she feels different than the gender they were born with. You have not only helped many adults, but also children who might have suffered for years, because the parents didn't understand what they were going through or thought it was a phase. I applaud you for allowing yourself to be free of the emotional pain you must have been going through, and live a normal and happy life. I applaud you for sharing your story with the world so that they too can realize it's alright to have the Freedom that they deserve. You have now explained to everyone, the paparazzi the media, and everyone else needs to leave you in peace to enjoy your life with your family!

I think what we are witnwssing here is the evidence of a Godless, faithless, & incredibly selfish mind getting his heart's desire. When a person abandons God, they abandon common sense, & faith; Bruce in reality is insulting his Maker. GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES, WE MAKE MISTAKES. It doesn't matter if Bruce is a man or woman Bruce, along with the rest of us, will be judged by God. Whether a person believes in God or not, you will still be judged. It's a real shame these rich people choose to live such selfish & evil lives when they can help others who are truly suffering. SHAME.

Bruce has given his interview to Diane Sawyer, which I found to be enlightening and worthy of sympathy. Unless you are an expert in gestation, genetics, chromosomes, etc., we can't pretend to know anything of what it must be like to appear one way on the outside but be the complete opposite on the inside.
That said, if Bruce Jenner wants to escape the scathing judgments that have been abundant, he needs to completely divest himself of KUWTK and lead a quiet life, away from the notoriety that comes with living in Malibu & having TV cameras in your home. He should do his very best to stay away from paparazzi. He's re-inventing himself. Now is the perfect time to "blend in" and get out of the spotlight. But maybe he likes it. If so, then he needs to stand up to the critics. People can be so cruel. I don't think he can have it both ways.

Reading some of these comments really upsets me! For anyone to want someone to be unhappy within their body is a sad day and you should really think how you can be so judgmental about someone you don't even know. Good on you Bruce! Team BRUCE all the way. He deserves to be happy and it's just bullies out there who think otherwise.

Bruce is a deluded old queer who is being held up as a role model whereas the reality is, he is a negative model for boys who may be having difficulties accepting themselves as male – research shows that the vast majority grow out of this and accpt themselves as male. The remainder (most aren't rich like the pampered Bruce) go on to live lives subject to discrimination, suicide and poor opportunities (many turn to prostitution).
Who would want that for their sons? Boys need to be protected from the negative influences of people like Bruce. The world is sick to promote his life as a positive lifestyle choice…
Posted at 2:13 AM on May 13, 2015
Carl, research AKA "science" actually shows that men who feel compelled to transision from male to female actually have an extra female chromosome which makes them feel more female inside, because they are! I hope you don't have children of your own. I would hate to have such a judgemental man as a father. If it weren't for people with attitudes like yours, perhaps people in the transgender community wouldn't live lives subject to discrimination, suicide, and poor opportunities, often turning to prostitution as a last resort for survival. Boys and girls do not need to be "protected" from people like Bruce, rather, they need to be exposed to all kinds of different people so they don't end up judgemental bigots.
Posted at 10:33 AM on May 13, 2015
I did read on anoher site where people like you who demand that everyone adhere to your point of view on this issue are really Transgender Nazi's. I am entitled to believe that an intentional choice like changing your outward appearance to mimic the opposite sex is a poor lifestyle choice. I wouldn't want a son of mine to become a freak when he has no need. It is misandry (hatred of males) to encourage boys to change their sex to a female.
You are actually the bigot, wanting me to change my view, in the belligerant way you come across – like a Transgender Nazi. That's a great phrase to describe you

Please don't confuse Bruce Jenner with having Klinefelter syndrome if he had this he would not have been able to have biological children . Iam a Christian and I don't judge Bruce Jenner or any homosexual or transgender they do need love and acceptance and so does every human being because we are all children of God. And we all have issues.

Gender is a social construction. We are all brainwashed from when we are very little to believe that that boys wear blue and girl wear pink. Does it really matter how you look on the outside?
Jenner has done so much more in his life than dress up as a woman. He won a decathlon( that is HUGE deal!, produced a popular t.v show (albeit a little trashy…but popular nonetheless), and successfully raised a bunch of children. He seems to have been a good father who provided for and did not abandon his children. He even continues to have a good relationship with his X wives.
It's not just what's outside that counts. Carl, and some of you haters out there seem to have SO much fear about bending the rules to our gender socialization… you seem so nervous about it… like its a monster in the closet. RELAX! the world will go on and people will keep on doing great things in life regardless of how they look from the outside.

I honestly don't believe God makes mistakes. The same God that gives us baby boys and girls, makes the elephants, the bees, and calico kittens. Of all the documented creature births, I have not (to this day) seen any specialty where a vet schedules a sex/gender/what ever pc word is considered less offensive right now, operation. Not a boy/girl hater, but no. As a parent, my female daughters now have their own ideas and beliefs but I believe it would have been detrimentally irresponsible of me to show/exposr them to all sorts of people. Equally, I warmed my children to stay away from strangers. Not rapists, peodifiles, or cannibals. Do I congratulate /shame Bruce, or any one else in the world for making whatever decision with their anatomy they fancy ? No. It isn't for me to judge ; neither is of anyone's else's to gag society with it.

"Grow your own medieval city up online"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Jun 10, 2011
Pocket Empires is a MMO strategy game set in medieval era
First step you will have to take is choosing what you are going to fight for: freedom, glory, honor or courage. Then, you will have to choose what country you belong to: Phoenix or Dragon. And finally the gender of your character and yoru password account.
There you are in a fantastic world with thousand of online players to fight with (or against!) and full of monsters. Pocket Empires board truly looks like other strategy games like Age of Empires or Civilization, but the first versions of such games because the graphics are quite shabby. What you have to do is building and improve those building by research. There are 10 unique structures to build your city. As your city grows you will be able to create units to defend it and workers to thrive it. There are 30 different creatures to be recruited or even captured. Developing building and units will make your level up. And that will allow you to travel further and to conquer monsters and towns. In order to do it you will need to use different techs and items (there are tenths of them to collect).
It has to be said that is a bit difficult get the hang of it though, at least in the beginning. There are too many things to be aware of and it can provoke that some users get fed up before deepen it. What's more, as you progresses through the game, building takes more and more time (even hours) and that's annoying. Finally, there aren't background music and that makes the game boring.
Pocket Legends has been developed by Pocket Play, an emerging mobile game developer who has just launched Pocket Legends on market but which has reached great success in other platforms.
Pocket Legends is a really complete game but it has to be improved in some aspects: difficulty, sound and playability (would increase by faster building). Despite of that, it's still worth to play. Recommendable.
Harvest! Build! Conquer!
-Over 10 unique structures to build up city
-Over 30 different creatures to be recruited or captured
-Over 40 techs & 50 items to enhance your power
-Epic faction wars
-Time based system, check your game casually
Fixed number input limit
Added a max button for recruiting

More stores sold on reusable bags
Retailers offer incentives for eco-friendly shopping
SACRAMENTO – Amid stalled regulations targeting plastic bags, more retailers are trying to avoid bans and fees by voluntarily offering shoppers cash back to change their habits at the checkout stand.
Target and CVS Pharmacy are the latest to offer incentives to customers who bring in their own bags – reusable or not.
And Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, plans to stop offering free plastic bags early next year as part of a test at three locations in Northern California.
"Once you make a change at Walmart, it will ripple through the U.S.," said Michelle Harvey, who works on corporate sustainability for the Environmental Defense Fund in Arkansas.
These latest businesses join pioneers Whole Foods, Ikea, Trader Joe's and Henry's Farmers Market in stepping away from plastic and promoting reuseable canvas bags. The shift offers them a chance to improve their image and bolster the bottom line.
"The political momentum has definitely slowed, but there is still pressure on industry, which is good," said Alicia Glassco of the environmental group San Diego Coastkeeper.
That pressure has pushed bag makers, retailers and others to rally around voluntary efforts, such as the one announced yesterday at an Albertsons store in downtown San Diego.
The "Got Your Bags?" promotion by the Keep California Beautiful coalition aims to help shoppers remember to return plastic bags for recycling and take their reusable bags with them.
"It's a matter of survival," said Barry Dabreu, regional manager in Mission Viejo for Advance Polybag Inc., one of the world's largest plastic-bag manufacturers. "It's do this and continue to have some business or not participate and have none at all."
Industry lawyer Stephen Joseph of San Francisco argued that prohibiting plastic bags would merely encourage shoppers to choose paper, which he said is more ecologically damaging.
Joseph has no complaints with shoppers who switch to reusable bags, but he is skeptical about retailers touting initiatives to reject plastic.
"Companies want to be green because it's good marketing," Joseph said. "It has nothing to do with the environment."
Alarmed by mounting evidence of plastic bags harming marine ecosystems and worried about the cost of cleaning up plastic litter, state lawmakers and city officials in recent years have pursued regulatory strategies to convince shoppers– and stores – to change their habits.
The more aggressive campaigns face stiff resistance from the plastics industry. Extensive lobbying in Sacramento has slowed legislation to levy fees on plastic bags, and litigation has stymied local initiatives.
Lawyers for plastic-bag makers have filed lawsuits asking that bag-ban ordinances include environmental impact reviews – a costly and time-consuming process.
Recently, Palo Alto and Manhattan Beach have had to rethink their stands after being rebuffed in court.
San Diego and Encinitas also have reconsidered their proposed restrictions, given the likelihood of facing Joseph in court.
Encinitas Mayor Maggie Houlihan called the industry's strategies "deceptive." Still, Houlihan acknowledged that this may not be the right economic time to pinch shoppers.
Houlihan endorses the idea of extending rebates to customers who have their own bags instead of charging them to get a plastic bag at the store.

not sure why you would feel the
need to change oil in a car that has less than 15k miles??
Oil doesnt have a spoil date, so if you dont have the 15k miles on it, why change it?
I was just at the dealer and they dont say oil changes are every 25k miles.
Batteries and other work can be done at 1/2 off at reputable BMW repair centers (not the Dealer).
So, if you're warranty is expired, why pay dealer prices??
The coolant is lifetime.
There's no need to change coolant so often.
Frequent oil changes and fluid changes these days are a scam.
People are still changing their oil every 3k miles.
That's another scam and
$$ wasting.
