You have some really nice characters here!!
Your digi skills are good, getting better, you do your studies and your colour combinations are pretty dang good as well!!
So far, i see your alien like critters to be the best example of that and i really like your painting from #339
In post #382 i saw in your wips that at some point, your 12th frame i think, to be the best, and then you overworked it a bit, loosing the confident smooth strokes, then the saturation and so on.
Give it some air at one point, perhaps flip it more, just don't try so hard to refine everything. It may look bad now, but after a few hours of looking at something else, it may look just fine.
Good luck onwards!

Data Center Graphics with Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 Family
Discover the new Intel® Xeon® processor E3 family
Elevating graphics performance in data centers
Data center–based graphics take a huge step forward with the new Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1200 v3 product family. Featuring new Intel® processor microarchitecture (formerly Haswell), these powerful processors transform server capabilities to create vast new possibilities for your data center. Now you can deliver rich visuals and consistently smooth user experiences, while also streamlining your data center.
Optimize graphics in the cloud
New processors from the Intel Xeon processor E3 family are built to support an extended range of cloud-based graphics demands. From virtual hosted desktops to cloud gaming to workstations in the cloud, you can deliver cutting-edge performance per watt and more efficient rendering in the cloud. That's great news for applications, such as outsourced encoding at scale and device and cloud partitioning.
Stream media to any connected device
Take care of a diverse range of media needs right from your data center. Integrated processor capabilities make smooth work of transcoding various formats for content on demand, user-generated media, live broadcasting, and video conferencing. And by eliminating a hardware component—a discrete graphics card—you'll capture significant performance efficiencies per watt and benefit from the greater density of video streams.
Run complex video analytics
Go beyond video processing to measure, analyze, and interpret streaming content. For companies investing in big data analytics, new processors deliver the computing power to capture valuable metrics, gain insights, and perform data-intensive tasks like video search indexing, digital surveillance, and automated ads that react to scene changes1.

In the summer of 2006, I had started a degree in international studies. I had a great time exchanging ideas with like-minded people. I was learning a lot of theory on how to change the world, but I was missing the practical side.
Online, I found the Camillian Social Center in Rayong, Thailand. Before I left, all I knew was what was written on the website: "The Camillian Social Center in Rayong is confronting AIDS in the 21st century through prevention, treatment and care. We believe that prevention, treatment and care go together to reduce the potential for the transmission of the virus."
I had done some traveling by myself before, but never in a country like Thailand. That's why, after trying in vain to explain where I wanted to go to the doorman of my hotel in Bangkok, I chickened out and rented a taxi to go straight to my destination. I planned to start my adventure once I got there.
And so the adventure begins…
I was both excited and nervous when we arrived at the center. We passed through a gate and entered a big courtyard with some trees and a pond in the middle. In front of the buildings, several people were enjoying the shade in silence. Some were in wheelchairs, others in hospital beds. Here and there a person was sweeping the courtyard. As soon as I got out of the car, the taxi driver took off. He obviously did not feel at ease around sick people.
A really tall woman named Cindy came my way to welcome me. When she came closer, I realized she hadn't always been a woman.
Cindy directed me to a building on the far end of the courtyard. Inside a big dining room, about twelve children of different ages and a few European-looking men were having lunch. Cindy introduced me to Father Giovanni, the founder of the center.
Father Giovanni and his children
Father Giovanni established the Camillian Social Center for the rejected, homeless people living with HIV/AIDS in 1995. Although he had been living in Thailand for a long time, he was still a typical Italian: talking loud, using lots of gestures and not really a champion in subtleness. Father Giovanni is a rebel priest. Against the strict Catholic principles, he does not preach abstinence as the only way to prevent HIV. On the other hand, he kept joking about the homosexual orientation of some of the residents.
The children had just finished their lunch and were anxiously waiting to introduce themselves. Father Giovanni explained that these children could not go to school, because they had visual signs of their HIV positive status.
He called one of the girls over to him. "How old do you think she is?" I guessed around four years old. "She is turning nine this year". Pim was brought to the center by social workers after her grandfather had died. She had been taking care of him for years. The only food she had during those years was instant noodles once a day. She had only arrived to the center quite recently and the medication made her sick.
Over the weeks, Father Giovanni told me all the children's stories and most of them were as sad as Pim's story. Kaimuk was 15 but looked like a 7-year-old. Chom was blind and the result of a visit by a Dutch tourist to a 'massage saloon.' Because she was blind, Ed was kept the whole day in bed before she came to the center. At the age of 4, she had never learned to walk. AIDS had made all of them orphans and most of them HIV positive.
Father Giovanni suggested I'd go rest and settle in. The volunteer house I was staying in was about one kilometer walking from the center. I didn't spend a lot of time there but two things I won't forget: The ants in my room and the dogs outside.
Every day I fought my own war against both species. It was part of my morning ritual to kill the ants with a bucket of water. Of course, they kept on coming back; they're ants. But the dogs were worse. They guarded a parking lot further down the street and they were running free. Every morning when I left and every evening when I returned, they were barking and running towards me. One of my housemates gave me an umbrella in case I had to defend myself against these monsters.
My first Thai friend
In the mornings, I worked at the PCU (Palliative Care Unit) from 6 to 12. I was assigned two patients to take care of. One of them was Pung, who was about my age at the time. He was actually quite good-looking, or at least he used to be.
It wasn't easy to understand Pung, obviously because I didn't speak Thai but also because he couldn't utter more than a few sounds. You just had to read his eyes to know what he was trying to say. Sometimes that worked out but it wasn't always easy.
The first time I helped him eating, he kept asking for 'nam.' After running back and forth with almost everything I found in the fridge, one of the carers told me he wanted one of the milky drinks. When I finally gave him one, he smiled for the first time. It seemed as if he was saying: "That was a good one, wasn't it?" Ever since our milk adventure, he smiled at me every time I passed by. Even when we had to take him out of bed to change the sheets and he seemed to be in excruciating pain, he tried not to show it. I had just made my first Thai friend.
My first Thai heartbreak
Pung was the first person I checked up on in the morning when I started work and I usually dropped by after lunch when the children were napping. One afternoon, I wanted to cheer up one of the other patients who had been feeling very sick that morning. When I entered the PCU there was a screen hiding Pung's bed from view.
At first, I didn't know what was happening. I went to sit with one of the other patients who spoke a little bit of English and then it came to me that Pung was dying. From across the room I could hear him breathing and one of the carers was holding his hand.
When I'm on my deathbed and someone asks what I regret about my life, I will remember that I didn't go to Pung to hold his hand while he was dying. I couldn't do it. It was the first time I witnessed someone dying.
I knew when it was over; the heavy breathing stopped and the carer came from behind the screen. In my mind, he looked at me with accusing eyes: "Why didn't you sit beside him? You were his carer for the last few weeks."
I was advised not to get too close to the critical patients. When someone ended up in the PCU, chances were low they were leaving it again. I decided not to follow this advice.
An 8-year-old woman
Among the children I also had my favorites and Pim was one of them. She had only arrived recently and was not adjusted to the medication yet. One afternoon, I was playing with the other kids when I noticed Pim in the toilets. Something was clearly wrong. When I went to check up on her, she was cleaning up her vomit. She was embarrassed when she noticed me. I offered to help her clean it up but she didn't let me. I often had the feeling with her, that I was the kid and she was the grown-up.
Love and hope in the time of AIDS
A lot of heartbreaking things happened at the center, that is for sure, but there was also hope. The oldest child, a girl of 18-years-old, was one of the best students of her class and just had her first boyfriend. When she finishes school, she wants to go to university and come back to help at the center.
A woman who had been close to dying in the PCU, miraculously got better and was working in the center now as carer. A male carer used to be a violent gang member but was now one of the sweetest men ever, married to an HIV positive woman who he had a beautiful daughter with.
There was even a love story. Two of the residents had fallen in love and were caught together in bed. The gossip queens among the residents really enjoyed the story the next day.
Most of the residents in the center used to work as go-go-dancers, masseuses, strippers, escorts, which all basically comes down to sex for money. They were some of the most fun people I have ever met. A male go-go-dancer was constantly talking about his past adventures and liked to dress up extravagantly. A blind masseuse gave me Thai massages every afternoon, which were painful yet relaxing.
The 'good-bye, I'll be back as soon as I can'
I had become fond of all the people there: the dying, the children, the carers, and the other residents. Each one of them was unique. But of course in the end, I had to get back to my books. I absolutely hate goodbyes so my last day was a torture. I had promised to come back in six months, but I knew some of these great people were not going to be there anymore.
It took me another week after I got home to adjust to 'normal' life. It annoyed me that people were complaining about minor problems, while these people who were so much worse off were making the best of each day.
It's a common problem for people returning from volunteering in developing countries. It takes a while before you can put the experience into perspective and start complaining yourself as well about the amount of work you have to do that week.

OXFORD, Ohio – Kirsten Olowinski's double-double helped the Miami University women's basketball team power past Wright State, 72-54, Tuesday afternoon at Millett Hall. The RedHawks improved to 5-3 overall, while the Raiders dropped to 2-4.
The game marked the fifth-annual Class of the Court contest, which had more than 1,600 students from the Talawanda School District in attendance.
"This is my favorite game of the year," MU coach Maria Fantanarosa said. "The atmosphere in here was a lot of fun."
Olowinski, a senior forward, nailed two free throws at the 17:01 mark of the second half to become the 21st player in Miami history to score 1,000 career points. She finished the game with 12 points and 17 rebounds. The double-double was her third of the season and the 33rd of her career.
"It's a great accomplishment," she said. "It gives you that much more pride in being a Miami athlete."
Senior point guard Courtney Osborn had a team-high 16 points with three assists, while junior forward Erica Almady had a double-double with 14 points and 12 boards.
Hannah Robertson, who sparked a 13-0 run to begin the game, finished with 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting.
Miami, which led 39-21 at halftime and never trailed, shot 44.6 percent from the field and 36.4 from beyond the arc. The RedHawks outrebounded the Raiders 49-35.
"We were moving the ball very well today, we were rebounding, we were playing defense and we were playing as a good, solid team," Olowinski said. "We took a very big step forward today as a team. It was great."
Wright State was held to 30.3 percent shooting and 25 percent from downtown. The Raiders' Kim Demmings led all scorers with 21 points.
WSU chipped the RedHawks' first-half lead down to 10 points at the 3:51 mark, but an Almady layup and back-to-back buckets by Olowinski pushed the host's lead to 35-19. Almady scored the final hoop of the half to round out the 8-0 run.
Miami held a 20-point lead, its largest of the game, after a Robertson layup with 15:18 to go in the second half. The RedHawks cruised the rest of the way and have now won back-to-back games and five of their last seven.
Haley Robertson chipped in eight points and Courtney Larson had four. Jessica Rupright finished with three.
Next up, Miami travels to play Cleveland State Saturday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m.
The RedHawks are away from home for several weeks before hosting Ohio Jan. 17 at 7 p.m.

|Public exhibition on proposed changes to Brixton police station
|24 Oct 11:18
Lambeth police is inviting residents in the borough to attend a public exhibition about important changes proposed to Brixton police station.
The exhibition will take place at Brixton Library, Brixton Oval, SW2 1JQ, on Tuesday, 25 October 5 - 8pm.
As we know policing in Lambeth has changed significantly in recent years and the time has come to review our custody arrangements. There has been an aspiration for several years to upgrade and update our existing custody facilities but for one reason or another, these plans have not reached fruition. There is now a desire on the part of both the MPS and the MPA to press ahead with a significant custody upgrade.
An important part of this includes looking at custody arrangements.
At present, there are 30 cells for the whole borough, which is not always sufficient. Custody cells in Lambeth are also split across three locations – this means the existing police facilities are not used as efficiently as they could be and officers often have to spend additional time travelling between the various sites.
To address these issues, to improve the service locally, and to help make Lambeth generally safer for all residents, it is proposed to extend custody provision at Brixton police station.
The public exhibition has been organised to give local residents and other interested parties an opportunity to comment on the proposals and ask any questions before a planning application is submitted to Lambeth Council later this Autumn.
People can also find out more or comment until 28 October by writing to;
Brixton Custody Extension

i'm not much for making new years resolutions. mostly because i know about one week in (if that) i will have forgotten all about them or become too lazy to care. so this morning, first morning of 2013, camden and i sat down for a little unhealthy meal consisting of yesterdays movie theater kettle popcorn, a left over snack plate that included: pepperoni, cheese, and crackers, and of course a chocolate orange from a christmas stocking. hello 2013 and goodbye 2012!
i have to say 2012 was pretty good to us. camden and i celebrated our third anniversary, kramer had his third doggy birthday, this blog turned a whole year old, we moved for our fourth, yes fourth, time in four years, and of course took a trip to my very favorite city, new york.
while i was thinking about this blog post, i realized we did have a few goals i think we could work on this up coming year. staying put for more than one year to start. i'm just saying it would be nice to celebrate christmas more than once in the same home. saving more and spending less, though this may be a life goal if i'm honest. making our lives more simple and concentrating on the important things in life. taking more family walks, which we have already started getting better at. and eating more home cooked meals at the dinner table and less meals out at the restaurant table.
i do have a few goals for this blog as well, although they seem harder to put down on paper (or computer screen) than the others. however, i do want to thank all of you for helping make our 2012 so awesome. i'm so thankful for all you readers who come back everyday and share your sweet comments and help brighten my day. you have made this blog worth it and i thank you.
so here is to you 2012, may 2013 be just as great. happy new year!!

Noni has been under our care for 423 days—and that is just way too long. She's receiving lots of attention and socialization with us, but even the ASPCA Adoption Center is no substitute for a loving family.
Noni is one of the prettiest, softest tuxie ladies we've ever seen, and she loves interacting with people, whether she's chasing a toy or receiving a few snuggles. But Noni's life has been anything but easy. She once lived in a hoarding home, and she came to us emaciated; we soon discovered that Noni had an untreated hyperthyroid condition. Our dedicated veterinary staff got Noni back on track, and now she is healthy and flourishing.
But Noni's adopter will need to keep her healthy, and that means not only twice-daily medicine for hyperthyroidism but special food for her sensitive tummy.
We can't wait to see Noni's story of triumph and recovery close with a happy ending, and neither can she. If you've got room in your heart for a special lady like Noni, please consider meeting her today at the ASPCA Adoption Center in NYC. Noni enjoys other cats and wouldn't mind a home with a resident feline friend. If you have any questions, please call the Adoption Desk at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900.
If you can't bring her home, please share her on Facebook and Twitter. Online fans: You've helped us find homes for animals before—let's do it again for Noni!
I live in New Orleans, but would LOVE to adopt this beauty. If someone can get her to me, I will take her.
In regards to the above comment for the New Orleans person - I live in Philly and would be willing to help transport Noni if we can find a chain of people to drive her to New Orleans! (I have seen this on TV for dog adoptions - does the ASPCA have something similar for cats?)
I live 3.5 hours north in Vicksburg, MS and could help take her some of the way, if that helps.
I'm in Jersey and can take a leg. Lets get Pretty Kitty Noni to New Orleans!
I live in Tupelo, Mississippi and will be traveling to Vicksburg August 4th for the weekend, if someone can get her close to Tupelo, I can do the rest!
I live between Nashville and Memphis (southern mid/west TN) and my son lives in Nashville. We could get her from Kentucky line to Tupelo
Check out this group on facebook. They help to transport kittys that have homes...

AP PHOTOS: A look at jobs replaced by technology
Wednesday - 1/23/2013, 11:50pm EST
By The Associated Press
(AP) - Five years after the start of the Great Recession, the toll is terrifyingly clear: Millions of middle-class jobs have been lost in developed countries the world over.
Worse, those jobs weren't just lost to China and other developing countries. No one got them. They vanished, victims of increasingly sophisticated software and machines that can do tasks faster, cheaper and often better than humans.
Here is a photo gallery of jobs especially hard hit by the technological onslaught.

Hakeem Jeffries was elected on November 6, 2012.[1]
|Candidate Filing Deadline
|Primary Election
|General Election
Primary: New York had a closed primary system, meaning only registered members of a particular party could vote in that party's primary.
Voter registration: Voters had to register to vote in the primary by June 1. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 12, or October 26 in person.[2]
- See also: New York elections, 2012
Incumbent: Heading into the election the incumbent was Jerrold Nadler (D), who was first elected to the House in 1992. Due to redistricting, Nadler will run for the new 10th District.
This was the first election using new district maps based on 2010 Census data. New York's 8th Congressional District was located in the eastern portion of the state and included Queens county.[3]
Fusion voting
New York is one of eight states that have "electoral fusion" -- which allows more than one political party to support a common candidate. This creates a situation where one candidate will appear multiple times on the same ballot, for the same position. Electoral fusion was once widespread across the United States, but is now commonly practiced only in New York.
Opponents of fusion voting argue that the process results in dealmarking to ensure that patronage is rampant.[4] Proponents maintain that fusion voting allows for minor parties to actually make a difference during the election, allowing voters the opportunity to vote for a minority party platform but still affect the general election result.[5]
Candidates appearing in the general election will be listed below with colored dots corresponding to any party they will represent on the ballot.
Note: Election results were added on election night as races were called. Vote totals were added after official election results had been certified. For more information about Ballotpedia's election coverage plan, click here. If you find any errors in this list, please email: Geoff Pallay.

Race background
Democratic primary
With Ed Towns (D) retiring, Brooklyn councilman Charles Barron and state Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries sought the party nod in the June 26 Democratic primary. The winner faced Alan Bellone in the November general election, but the 8th was heavily Democratic,[9] so the winner of the Democratic primary would likely be the next 8th district representative.[10]
Barron fought back from a fundraising disadvantage and gained an endorsement from the state's largest public employees union, as well as the nod from the retiring incumbent, Ed Towns. This worried many Democrats, as Barron was a controversial figure prone to outspoken comments.[11] A former Black Panther, Barron had expressed a desire to "go up to the closest white person and... slap him," and had said Israel was "the world's greatest terrorist."[10] These and other similar comments worried the Democratic establishment about Barron's potential to alienate people on the national scale.[11]
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), among others, denounced Barron's "anti-Israel" stance.[12]
Jeffries, on the other hand, had widespread support from the other New York representatives in the U.S. House, along with greater campaign coffers.[11]
On the issues, the two candidates had some variance. Jeffries worked to legalize same-sex marriage at the state level, while Barron opposed gay marriage. And in contrast to Barron's stated views on Israel, Jeffries had visited Israel as part of a community relations group.[11]
Barron unabashedly stuck to his statements, even if they were viewed as alienating and controversial. Despite his abrasive remarks, however, he was admitted by many to be charming.[11] Jeffries took an opposite approach, by seeking to unite a broad range of people. Rep. Yvette Clarke, among others, saw Jeffries as a rising star.[11]
The AFSCME local DC37, the state's largest public employee union, threw their weight behind Barron.[10] Jeffries gathered endorsements from smaller unions.[11]
Impact of redistricting
- See also: Redistricting in New York
Following the results of the 2010 Census, New York lost two congressional seats, bringing its total number of representatives down from 29 to 27. According to a report in the Washington Post political blog "The Fix," New York was one of the top 10 redistricting battles in the nation.[13]
The 8th district was re-drawn after the 2010 Census. The new district was composed of the following percentages of voters of the old congressional districts.[14][15]
- 2 percent from the 6th Congressional District
- 9 percent from the 8th Congressional District
- 11 percent from the 9th Congressional District
- 75 percent from the 10th Congressional District
- 2 percent from the 11th Congressional District
- 2 percent from the 12th Congressional District
Registration statistics
As of October 29, 2012, District 8 had the following partisan registration breakdown according to the New York State Board of Elections:
|New York Congressional District 8[16]
|Congressional District
|District Total
|Other & Unaffiliated
|Party Advantage
|Change in Advantage from 2010
|District 8
|"Party advantage" is the percentage gap between the two major parties in registered voters. "Change in advantage" is the spread in difference of party advantage between 2010 and 2012 based on the congressional district number only.
District partisanship
FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012 study
- See also: FairVote's Monopoly Politics 2012
In 2012, FairVote did a study on partisanship in the congressional districts, giving each a percentage ranking (D/R) based on the new 2012 maps and comparing that to the old 2010 maps. New York's 8th District became more less Democratic because of redistricting.[17]
Cook Political Report's PVI
In 2012, Cook Political Report released its updated figures on the Partisan Voter Index, which measured each congressional district's partisanship relative to the rest of the country. New York's 8th Congressional District had a PVI of D+33, which was the 8th most Democratic district in the country. In 2008, this district was won by Barack Obama (D), 86-14 percent over John McCain (R). In 2004, John Kerry (D) won the district 82-18 percent over George W. Bush (R).[18]
District history
On November 2, 2010, Jerrold Nadler was re-elected to the United States House for a seventh term. He defeated Susan L. Kone (R who also ran on the Conservative Party ticket).[19]

After Saturday's inaugural charity run, Elaine Adkins is a believer in new math.
Because 117 miles plus 44 riders equals $4,526.56 and 3,000 pounds of food.
Those totals – thanks to the hard work of the Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association and 11 local masonic lodges – refilled the food pantry at HOPE in Lancaster.
The Native American studies program and the Catawba pottery collection at the University of South Carolina Lancaster is getting some coast-to-coast exposure.
It is being featured as one of three segments in a national television commercial for the University of South Carolina that is getting airplay during Gamecocks sporting events. It is also broadcast during "The Steve Spurrier Show."
Name: Rev. Randy Mellichamp
Age: 40
Address: Potter Road
Family: Wife, Michelle (give her age – are you kidding?); three sons, Nathan, 13, Andrew, 8, and Caleb, 3
Job: Minister of Camp Creek Baptist and Haven Creek Baptist churches
Hobbies: Golf, family and church
One of the best way to showcase the delicious flavors of early fall is with a homemade apple pie.
What makes apples and apple pie so all-American?
"It brings people together," said Ken Haedrich, author of "Apple Pie: 100 Delicious and Decidedly Different Recipes for America's Favorite Pie."
"It's the closest thing we have, food-wise, to a universal symbol of goodness and contentment."
When it comes to adding variety, flavor and aroma to foods, herbs and spices have been used for centuries.
"Spices were once so costly only the wealthy could afford them. In 11th century Europe, many towns paid their taxes and rent in pepper," said dietitian and educator Alice Henneman, author of "Add a Little Spice (& Herbs) to Your Life!"
While it is a given that spices and herbs both come from for plants, that's where the similarity ends, said Ann Hertzler of Virginia Cooperative Extension Service.
Nancy K. Starnes found this Peach Pound Cake recipe in the S.C. Farmers Market Bulletin. Submitted to the publication by Jackie Blanton of Gaffney, Starnes said the recipe took first place honors at the 2004 Gaffney Peach Festival.
"I thought some readers may enjoy it since some peaches are still available," she said. "I've made this cake two times and it is simply delicious. It makes a large pound cake and is worth every bit of the trouble."
Peach Pound Cake
Sir Thomas Lipton had been dead for almost 20 years when a dry onion soup mix bearing his name hit the markets.
But just like the tea business he had perfected, it was an instant success, especially among the working class the Scottish-born entrepreneur dearly loved.
A marketing genius, a 17-year-old Lipton came to the United States from Scotland in 1864, just as the Civil War was ending, said Michael D'Antonio, author of "A Full Cup: Sir Thomas Lipton's Extraordinary Life and His Quest for the America's Cup."
For many, Labor Day signals the last great grilling get-together of the summer months.
According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, almost 44 percent of Americans shut down their grills after Labor Day and all but quit cooking outdoors during the fall and winter months.
The last grilling hurrah can also be used as a learning experience when it comes to cooking in the great outdoors.
Making sure a brown bag lunch is nutritious and tasty enough not to end up in the school trash can is almost impossible.
But if what students learn in the classroom prepares them for the future, so does what they learn at the cafeteria lunch table, said medical journalist and author Dr. Melissa Stoppler.
The lazy, hazy days of summer are winding down.
No, fall isn't in the air yet, but the sound of school bells are about to be.
On Friday, rising sixth-graders and ninth-graders in Lancaster County will return to their respective schools for a half-day of orientation. About 11,400 county students will be up bright and early Monday to start a new school year.
That means a big change for parents who must be more regimented to get them out the door in the mornings and more structured in the evenings.

Online education, also known as distance education, allows students to take classes without coming to campus. Often, the courses are asynchronous, meaning that there is no specific time when students must be available, so the courses allow for a more flexible schedule.
One main reason why students fail an online class is that they think the course will be easier than a face to face class. Online classes are not easier and in many ways they are more difficult.
Are you ready for online learning?

Great Innovators Over 40

The Mark Zuckerbergs of the world haven't cornered the market on innovation. New research suggests that middle age might be the ideal time to challenge the status quo. In fact, the average age that Nobel Prize winners and great inventors make their most notable breakthrough is 39, according to a study by Benjamin F. Jones, a professor at Kellogg School of Management.
Why are so many people trying to innovate later in life? Middle age brings confidence, experience, deeper networks, and maybe even some cash savings. Here are some innovators who hit their stride after 40.
Elion developed treatments for many major diseases--including cancer, malaria, and AIDS. In 1959, at 41, she received a patent on a treatment for leukemia. She was awarded a Nobel Prize in medicine.
In 1984, after decades of aerospace inventions, Rutan launched the Voyager, the first plane to fly around the world without stopping, at 41. At 62, he launched the first privately funded human space flight, with the suborbital space plane SpaceShipOne. Rutan, 70, recently retired.
Franklin began publishing Poor Richard's Almanack in his 20s, but he did not invent the lightning rod until he was 41, in 1749. He signed the Declaration of Independence at 70.
Tesla had a hand in many disruptive inventions, including electric motors and X-rays. One big breakthrough came in 1898, when, at 42, he demonstrated the first radio-controlled boat in New York City, helping to lay the groundwork for radio transmissions.
In 1962, after years of managing retail stores, Walton opened his first Walmart store at 44. He pioneered the big-box retail model. With his aggressive push for discounting, Walton shifted the balance of power in retailing from the manufacturer to the consumer.
After being fired from Wellington Management in 1974, Bogle, then 45, founded the Vanguard Group. Its innovative approach to fund management saved shareholders hundreds of billions in fees and disrupted the financial industry. Bogle, 84, is now retired.
After a decade of watching men get promoted ahead of her, this saleswoman set out, at 45, to build Mary Kay Cosmetics in 1963. Ash brought multilevel marketing into the mainstream, tapping an underemployed army of women to sell her products.
Ford fiddled with automobile inventions for seven years before starting Ford Motor Company in 1903. At 45, he introduced the Model T, sparking the American auto boom. He also created the first moving assembly line.
Though he founded Apple at 21, Jobs launched some of his most successful products later in life--including the iPod in 2001, the iPhone in 2007, and the iPad in 2010. They fundamentally changed how people consume media and use the Internet.
Child didn't hit her stride until 49, when she co-authored the 3-pound cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking, in 1961. Through the book and her cooking shows, Child introduced French culinary skills to the American masses.
In 1942, after decades of tinkering on aviation projects, the Russian-American founder of Sikorsky Aircraft created the first modern mass-produced helicopter, the R-4, at 52.
The McDonald's founder worked as a piano player and a paper-cup salesman before, at 52, he set out in 1940 to build what would become the world's largest restaurant chain. Kroc systemized operations so that a burger in any city would taste the same.
The American writer published her first novel at 39. In 1988, at 57, she won the Pulitzer Prize for Beloved. Morrison, who has received a Nobel Prize for her work, continues to write at 82.
Shaw wrote his first successful work at 38 and continued to write hits well into his 60s. He later won a Nobel Prize in literature and, at 82, an Oscar.
This American, who wrote many orchestral pieces and ballets, twice won the Pulitzer Prize--in 1967, at 59, and in 1973, at 65. He also wrote more than 40 works from ages 90 to 100.

The American Gas Association Peer Review Program is a voluntary peer-to-peer safety and operational practices review program that will allow local natural gas utilities throughout the nation to observe their peers, share leading practices and identify opportunities to better serve customers and communities.
The American Gas Association 2015 Playbook covers the history of natural gas, the challenges and opportunities of the natural gas industry, and the priority issues and strategies wit
The Natural Gas Industry Buyer's Guide has proven to be a valuable resource for association members and other industry professionals who use the Internet to locate products and services for the entire natural gas industry.
The AGA's nonprofit arm conducts research to create responsible public policy around natural gas.

Natural Gas Industry Safety Programs
Because safety is the natural gas industry's top priority, the industry spends more than $6 billion each year to maintain the system's excellent safety record. Serious accidents on the natural gas delivery system are rare, but the natural gas industry is dedicated to making them obsolete.
Natural Gas Delivery System Materials
Through the decades, a variety of materials have been used to make natural gas pipelines. The selection of materials varies with the date the pipeline was placed in service, the diameter and pressurization requirements of the pipeline, and the characteristics of the local terrain. Listed below are the most common pipeline materials.
Steel Pipe
How Does the Natural Gas Delivery System Work?
Gas flowing from higher to lower pressure is the fundamental principle of the natural gas delivery system. The amount of pressure in a pipeline is measured in pounds per square inch.
From the well, the natural gas goes into "gathering" lines, which are like branches on a tree, getting larger as they get closer to the central collection point.

AGA files comments on federal building and appliance effieciency when it is determined that proposed regulatory acion impact its member companies.
Washington, D.C. – The American Gas Association (AGA) has filed a Freedom of Information Request with the U.S.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently issued a notice of proposed rulemaking for residential natural gas furnaces, which would mandate that all non-weatherized natural gas furnaces manufactured must have a 92 percent or higher efficiency rating. These proposed standards would eliminate efficient, non-condensing furnaces, causing an undue burden on, and significant costs for, many natural gas customers.
Click here to see AGA's blog post about the rule.

THANK YOU MAGNETSTREET! Couldn't have done it without you!!!!
Excellent Customer Service!
The product is great, but I really want to rave about their customer service! I had ordered my wedding programs and had them shipped to my house. I followed the UPS tracking and saw that the programs had been delievered to my door, however, when I arrived home they were no where to be found! It was 7 days before my wedding and I called the customer service department in a panic. After explaning that I never received my package, the customer service department acted quickly and replaced my order and put a rush on it, no questions asked and no additional fees! I can't thank Andrea enough for taking care of me in such a friendly and fast manner!

Love Alien! I wear it all the time. A salesperson recommended it to me, I had never heard of it before, but I immediately had people telling me I smelled good and asking me what I was wearing. People look at you funny when you tell them the name, but I love this scent!!
