Green MembersOne of our most successful projects is converting our Zoo Members to "Green" Members who only receive Zoo news and renewals through email. In 2006 we started with 400 Green Members. We climbed to 1,865 in 2007, 2,883 in 2008, 3,699 in 2009, 4,952 in 2010, 6,376 in 2011, 7,700 in 2012 and 9,100 in 2013. We surpassed our goal in 2014 with 10,507 Green Members! Each Green Member saves us money in printing and postage costs each year. Plus we save 4 Maagizos, 2 postcards, 4 envelopes and 2 letters worth of paper! That means we saved about $25,000 and 4,700 pounds of paper in 2014 alone! Sign up to be a Green Member when you purchase your membership or renew, in person, online or through the mail.

I wanted to incorporate a craft as part of Dinosaur Week . This is a great dinosaur craft for toddlers which is great for their fine motor skills. This one is great too because toddlers get to do a fun craft and learn about shapes at the same time!
For this craft you'll need:
- Construction or colored paper
- scissors
- glue stick
- googly eye
This activity:
- Builds fine motor skills
- improves eye-hand coordination
- Teaches shapes
- Boosts creativity
1.First cut out your shapes for your dinosaur.
To make stegosaurus cut
- an oval for the body 2 rectangles for legs
- Long triangle for the tail
- Small rectangle for the neck
- Small triangle for the head
- 5 triangles of various sizes for the spikes on the the back.
2. Now let your child apply glue to the backs of shapes.
Label each shape for young toddlers or ask older children what each shape is to build their vocabulary and understanding of shapes.
Younger toddlers may need guidance of where to put the shapes and don't worry if it is not perfect. They will still love doing it.
3. Then add a googly eye and draw a smile and you have your very own stegosaurus! I think this turned out super cute. My daughter loved it once she realized she had just made a dinosaur.

The Hollywood Reporter says that producers have shot so much footage for the senses-shattering finale that they will extend the 2 hour last ep on Sunday May 23 by a full half-hour.
Or 13 minutes with commercials.
Showrunners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof just completed post-production on the finale. spouting identical tweets:
"We're done. Amen."
Lindelof also revealed recently that they had built all new sets for the time/space/up/down/this-way-and-that way series finale and that the ending will only prompt more questions.
So, sorry Losties, ALL will NOT be revealed.

1I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice--living, sanctified, acceptable to God--your intelligent service;
2and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of God--the good, and acceptable, and perfect.
3For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,
4for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office,
5so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.
6And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy--`According to the proportion of faith!'
7or ministration--`In the ministration!' or he who is teaching--`In the teaching!'
8or he who is exhorting--`In the exhortation!' he who is sharing--`In simplicity!' he who is leading--`In diligence?' he who is doing kindness--`In cheerfulness.'
9The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;
10in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another;
11in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving;
12in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering;
13to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.
14Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not;
15to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the weeping,
16of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;
17giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right things before all men.
18If possible--so far as in you--with all men being in peace;
19not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance [is] Mine,
20I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his head;
21Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good, the evil.

I've had poor experience with their customer service and support since they took over servicing my loan about 9 months ago; they've sent me letters including incorrect information about how to contact them online or use their website to handle issues, fees apply for handling matters over the phone (waived for the first call), late payment occurred from the funded escrow, and there were two instances of my payments not being applied correctly (one processed a week prior to the authorized transaction date, one extra principal payment was misapplied completely). No comments about their rates/fees since they took over servicing of an existing loan.

Bloody Good Timeglitter34 | Aug. 17, 2015 | See all glitter34's reviews »
This is a fantastic game. I have yet to play the others so I have no comparison with them. However if you enjoy games like Serious Sam this is one for you. Its the same kind of fun blood splatting kills and it has secrets to find in each area. Upon completion of each area it gives you a review to show you how you did on each goal. If I miss a secret I always have to go back, just my OCD thing, but I never get bored playing a section through again. The weapons are very cool, my favorite so far makes me feel like Freddy Kruger slashing through the flesh of my enemies. It consists of three knives you spin and run into your enemies tearing them to pieces LOL. Put it this way my first play session I lost track of time it was so much fun and instead of just trying it out I played for 3 hours! No reservations on recommending this game to anyone, just go now and get it!

Painkiller: Hell & Damnation is an HD (get it, Hell & Damnation? H & D? HD? Yea it's not that funny) is a gruesome supernatural run and gun game that takes you through various haunted locales overrun with skeletons, zombies, spirits, and all manner of creature best left unmentioned. Unlike most run and gun shooters where you have to fight off variously sized waves of varied enemies in long corridors or open arenas, you are pretty much stuck fighting off a single wave of enemies in a single arena then moving on to a slightly larger arena to fight off a larger single wave of enemies. The enemy designs are creative, there is nothing truly iconic, especially when compared to game franchises like Doom and Serious Sam. All the enemies in Painkiller: Hell & Damnation look like renditions of monsters that have been done before. Same can be said with the weapon design: creative but nothing truly unique or iconic. Painkiller: Hell & Damnation's art direction is well done, but everything else is dull, mediocre, and boring.
To hell and back again, tale of love lost.Obsessor | Oct. 21, 2014 | See all Obsessor's reviews »
Yeah, but ultimately who cares right? This game is packed with crazy looking enemies, and weapons ready to bring pain to those monsters. That's what matters in Painkiller. Intense action. Game that's best experienced in small doses, lest it may cause severe brain damage, trauma, mental disorders and urge to cuddle fluffy kittens. Great game to work out the stresses of everyday life.
Bloody Action RemadeAzrael360 | Sept. 26, 2014 | See all Azrael360's reviews »
It's a remake of the first game in the series, but shorter, because not all the levels were included. But it looks so great and the action is so frantic, that you can pass over that and just enjoy it. Good control and options, gamepad support, excellent effects and music, and very bloody. Highly recommended for the single player campaign to the fans of the series. The multiplayer as always, is just a bonus.

Viewtiful Joe Creator Keen On Revolution
Nothing in development, but the interest's there.
The who, what, where, when and why of Inaba's plans are still up in the air, but like many other designers out of Japan, he's shown an interest in working on Nintendo's upcoming console. "It is clear that we are very interested by the concept of Nintendo Revolution and we hope to create a game on this console," he says.
Right now, Inaba doesn't appear to be actively developing anything for Revolution, but already he's contemplating the possibilities of Viewtiful Joe, a series that originated on GameCube before going multi-platform. "Now, if the character and the universe of Viewtiful Joe adapt correctly to the characteristics of Nintendo's future console, and we could indeed conceive a Viewtiful Joe on Nintendo Revolution, [we would do it]," he says. "In the contrary case, we will try to make to propose another game on Nintendo Revolution which is as interesting."
If Inaba's resume is anything to go by, whatever the man works up for Revolution - Viewtiful Joe sequel or not - is certain to be worth watching out for.

i cant c the application tie inPosted: Jan 24, 2006 12:00AM PST by rachelmoore55
i will pre-order a revolution, period. and viewtiful joe is a wonderful series of games. but i cant 4 the life of me c how the remote will integrate into this unless it has to do with minigames. the pace of the previous games is hard for me to keep up with and the control seems more suited to slower type titles. not slow in a bad way, but just not as hyper as joe. :P
Good luck Inaba!Posted: Jan 24, 2006 12:00AM PST by planetary_bashar
Unfortunately, I won't be buying the Revolution; but all the best to the Viewtiful Joe series.

Great news!Posted: Jan 24, 2006 12:00AM PST by ButtonMasher
Revolution is going to be great if Nintendo can get talented people to develop for it. Viewtiful Joe has been one of my favorite new series this generation and I can't wait to see what it looks like in the next!
Okami sequelPosted: Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by darkechoes6
i think maybe if viewful joe does not work for capcom, maybe they will bring in an OKami sequel to it.
ff depthPosted: Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by Articuno76
Remember how Fatal Fury had a depth in it (albeit a clumsy 2 step depth), could the depth of the controller be used to activate vfx depth? Think about it VJ is technically 3d, so being able to link together a combo witha 3d movement (smash the enemy into the scenary or combo them off the front of the screen...). INteresting ideas, but who knows what he could come up with.
doesn't suprise mePosted: Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by Articuno76
This doesn't suprise me that he is interesting in making a game for it. His games like vj\okami are clearly the artisitic type than Nintendo fans have tolerance for because of the windwaker. He just seems like the kind of person that would want an 'organic' game, and Okamis basis away from the mainstream blood n guts gameplay kind of proves this.
Thats Great!Posted: Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by newagegamer
But i tired of developers saying that "we are interested in Nintendo's next console". I want to hear them say that we are making a game for the Revolution! Is that to much to ask?
wootPosted: Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by b4kura
a good "Viewtiful Joe" type of game is probably all the reason i need to get a my hands on a Revolution. ok, that's probably not true, but hey, i love Viewtiful Joe, and i'm really looking foward for a decent sequel, and maybe, who knows, we could even see Katamari on the Revolution. Now that would be enough reason for me to buy this new system.
I love Viewtiful Joe, but I vote for "other"...Posted: Jan 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by jgibson75
When it comes to what Clover Studios goes to work on the Nintendo Revolution, I would rather see them create a new property that takes full advantage of what Nintendo's new system has to offer... Viewtiful Joe can come later! Lets start things out with something new!

Why I really need the Tom Tom!!
Posted by: Dissol on Jun 28, 2011
Tagged in: Tom Tom Competition
I am so desperate to own a Tom Tom navigation device, I am planning to post several blog posts in an attempt to ingratiate myself to the competition judges.
So, why do I need one? Well, I recently replaced my company car, but I could not afford the extra R28,000 that VW wanted to relieve from me to have sat nav fitted to the vehicle. In fact, the whole process of aquiring this car was quite a journey. I was due a new car, and, after working long hard hours for a few years on various FIFA projects, I had decided to reward myself with a new car. Being a wheelchair user does make life a little tricky as it is impossible to test drive any car. My research started on the Internet, looking at different models, and talking to other wheelchair users, and drivers. This began to narrow the choice. Then I made a few visits to various dealers, not to test drive the cars, but to see which ones were easiest to get in & out of, and how easy (or difficult!!) it is to drag the wheelchair in behind me. This narrowed the choice still further. Once I had decided on the model, then I needed to check to see if the necessary hand controls could be fitted (the vehicle has to specifically imported, and then the controls fitted before Customs can inspect the vehicle and allow a (small) rebate on the purchase price. The reasoning is that I pay taxes the same as anyone else, and some of our taxes goes to pay for public transport. Apart from the new BRT bus systems, I do not have the choice of being able to use public transport, plus I need to pay more money to have the hand controls fitted.
That was quite a process, and took several months. I decided to only order the car after I had my shoulder operations late last year. So I came out of hospital and ordered the car… Then the real "fun" started. What was supposed to be a straightforward recovery turned sour. I had tried to halve the hospital time by having both shoulders "done" at the same time, but I managed to pick up an infection, and there was a complication in one of them. So back inside I went (so much for trying to save hospital & down time!!). So then all I had to do was to sit back & wait for my new car? Hmmm…
There were a few hiccups and hold ups with the processing of the car, but that turned out to be the least of my worries. Just before Christmas, my left arm began to fall asleep...go numb...lose sensation… So back I went to the surgeons, who proposed more tests & scans. They found more problems, with my elbows, and, more worryingly, with my spine, in my neck. So back into hospital...extended this time. First of all they attacked my arm, moving nerves, cutting muscles around my elbow. That fixed one problem (although the other elbow will need doing at some stage), but still the left arm was useless. I could not even move myself, let alone drive. I seriously thought I would have to cancel the new car. In fact, I honestly thought I would never drive again (which for me, a complete petrol head, would have been a really tricky issue to have to deal with). I spoke to the surgeons, who could not give any firm prognosis, I spoke to my wife, who gave love & support, but not the promise that I would recover again. I even phoned the garage; could I change the lovely little coupe that I had ordered for a combi, or something that I could put a ramp on, to get a powerwheelchair in (along probably, with a driver). They told me it would be tricky, and advised me to hold on, if the worst happened then we would work something out.
Eventually the surgical team decided that they had to operate again, and fuse my neck (my fourth spinal fusion). They admitted it was a risky operation, due to my pre-exisiting conditions, but I felt it was worth the risk. Bizarrely operating on the neck portion of the spine is, in many ways, easier than operating further down, as the spine is easier to get to. Rather than go in from the back, as you would expect, they prefer to go in from the front (causing my adam's apple to move sideways for a couple of months). The op was a success though, and while I had to wear a collar for a while, and the left arm is not quite 100%, I could at least drive. So you may imagine how happy I was to get an SMS from the dealer telling me my new car had arrived!!
Aside from being a petrol head, I enjoy driving with new purpose now. Driving was important to me before these latest ops, as it is one time when my disability disappears; once on the road, I am the same as everyone else. But now, after having thought I would never drive again, I appreciate it all the more. I have completed advanced driving courses both before and after becoming a wheelchair user. My work tends to take me all around the country (it looks like I shall be having to spend a lot of time in Rustenburg over the coming few months), and if I am going to be longer than a week anywhere, then I prefer to drive, rather than flying and hiring a car (which can get complicated).
This car has all I need...well almost all. It is economical, quick, comfortable, safe, easy to get in & out of, relatively easy to lift my wheelchair into, and store. It has cruise control (necessary as it becomes very tiring on your hands without). Automatic this, that & the other… But...it does not have a sat nav! That is the one item missing. I can plug my iPod/iPhone into the radio, and listen to all my peculiar podcasts and music, but the sat nav is lacking. I also now suffer from the Captonian navigation problem. I have lived in the Cape for 15 years now, and most of my business is done in Cape Town. The mountain acts as an ever present navigation aid! I arrive in other South African town, and an very frustrated that they do not also have a fantastic natural wonder positioned in the middle of their municipalities!! People call me when I am in Jo'burg, and suggest coffee, am I close to Sandton, or would Fourways Mall be better for me? I don't know, because you don't have a bloody mountain. In Port Elizabeth, I might be at the stadium and I am asked to look at a new road crossing...but the only directions given are the two road names...again, no mountain reference. So I plead for the Tom Tom, or the new Rustenburg bus system will end up being built in Colesberg!!

I totally agree with you about the need for conveniently placed, super large landmarks. It is extremely thoughtless of so many of the other cities in South Africa not to have an instantly recognisable flat-topped and strategically situated mountain.
So Rustenburg is getting a new bus system, 'eh? What does Stellies have to do to be eligible??

McDonnell, Woehl, and Cope Join Wild Horse Advisory Board
Some research is needed on each of these new BLM board members to see what their stand really is. ~ HfH
From: The Horse
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced today that the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture have made selections for the three open positions on its nine-member National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board. Sue M. McDonnell, PhD, Cert. AAB, of West Chester, Pa., has been appointed for the category of wild horse and burro research; Fred T. Woehl, Jr., of Harrison, Ark., has been appointed for the category of public interest (with special knowledge of equine behavior); and Robert E. Cope, DVM, of Salmon, Idaho, has been appointed for the category of natural resources management. Each individual will serve a three-year term on the board.
McDonnell is clinical associate and adjunct professor of reproduction and behavior at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. Also, as a certified applied animal behaviorist, she consults privately on equine behavior and welfare.

The cottage was built in 1948 as part of a resort on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Several years ago, the owner of the property decided to sell each unit as individual ownership properties. I was lucky enough to get one of the lower level, two bedroom units with a fantastic view of the lake. We have a large pool, bbq grill, outdoor furniture, flat screen tv, and a fully furnished kitchen with toaster, coffee maker, and microwave in addition to a small electric stove. Dishes and linens are all provided. There is a washer and dryer on the property. The cottage also comes with one covered parking space provided. This is a ...Read more

Additional Location Information
the cottage was built in 1948 as part of a resort, but the previous owner sold each unit as individual ownership in 2007 and it is now part of a property owners association. There is a large swimming pool, it is on the ground level facing the lake, and has a barbeque grill and outdoor seating. The cottage is furnished with linens, dishes, toaster, coffee maker, stove, flat screen in the living room, and a smaller tv is in the additional bedroom . I removed the queen bed from the extra bedroom for more floor space when the grandchildren come to visit..so, that room has a twin bed but there is room for a mattress in the floor or a play pen. I do have a folding travel bed for toddlers that is at the cottage for your use. There are also assorted sizes of children's life jackets, if you should need them.
The only source of heat at this time is a space heater, but I am in the market for an electric fireplace. The size of the wall space is making it difficult to find one that is small enough to not stick out into the doorway. We have one covered parking space available.
The cottage is just a few blocks from the main street in Hot Springs, and is close to Walmart, and many restaurants..although probably not in walking distance.
I leave several personal items in the cottage as it is my weekend retreat..and it is easier to leave them than to move them. Whatever you use, I just ask that you replace for the next guest..i.e. coffee, trash liners, paper towels, etc. There is a laundramat on property that is just a short distance from our door.

I just started taking riding lessons for the first time. My instructor does mostly Western and some English, but she is teaching me English. The thing is the saddle I use is a Western saddle with the horn and I'm concerned about whether its okay to learn English riding in a Western saddle. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to jump in the Western saddle but I'm nowhere near jumping yet. So for now, is the Western saddle okay to learn the basics of riding?

Cylinder for ethyl chloride anaesthetic spray, 1860-1940
This cylinder would have been used for the anaesthetic gas ethyl chloride. It is made of brass and was made in Paris, France. The cooling effect of the volatile liquid was used to produce local anaesthesia. The contents of the cylinder would be sprayed on the site that needing anaesthetising and the area would be cooled by the evaporation of the liquid. For example this type of spray was used in dentistry to numb gums. The first apparatus of this type was Richardson�s spray of 1866, invented by Benjamin Ward Richardson (1828-1896).

east county
The dog found lying on the side of an East County road with a bullet wound to its chest was in critical condition Tuesday.
The 40-pound retriever mix, dubbed "Chance," was found wounded and abandoned about 7:30 a.m. Monday on Viejas Grade Road near Willows Road by a woman who was on her way to work, county animal services Lt. Dan DeSousa said.
The dog was taken to the VCA Emergency Animal Hospital in Mission Valley where he is receiving oxygen treatment due to damage to his lungs, DeSousa said. The bullet hit the dog on one side of his chest and exited on the other. His prognosis is extremely guarded, DeSousa said.
The dog's medical care is being paid for by the Department of Animal Services Spirit fund.
Donations to the fund can be made on the department's website at sddac.com/donations.asp or at any of the department's three shelters.
Because of the dog's condition, adoption applications are not being taken at this time.

"This particular design allowed us to use photos that truly represented our son's personality and interests, and I loved the ability to change the font as well as put an effect on one of the photos to completely make it his own. The paper and photo quality were excellent, and totally true to color with our original photos. I would never trust our milestone moments to anyone else but Tiny Prints in the future!"
"- People loved the invitation and found it very creative - Mix of fonts and lettering made it visually interesting - I would have liked another choice for the back with no curly swiggles"
"Because I was announcing both my children's graduation --- I loved how this came out! I put a fun photo of the 2 of them on the back...and incuded confetti in the envelope. These are traditional diploma looking --- but yet fun too!"
"Very easy to add and change pictures and text. Nice amount of text available. I would have liked one big picture on the back but it is a beautiful card."
"I loved this card because it allowed me to display a "then" and "now" image of my twin girls - just like the website sample. I love the simplicity of the design and how it allows the photos to be the focus of the card."

Pitman High softball prodigy, Alexis Mettler is one of the rare gifted young talents from the area who have proven extraordinary qualities for a student-athlete that everyone wishes to inquire over their career.
The Turlock Christian Eagles volleyball team continues to fly past their opponents in the postseason and Thursday was no different.
No day off; no problem.
Pitman High was pushed to its limits Thursday night in the second round of the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs against St. Mary's High. After uncharacteristically dropping the first set to the Rams, the Pride bounced back and battled to five sets for only the second time all season.
A day after ending her high school volleyball career with a close playoff loss to Lincoln High, Turlock High's Victoria Larsen inked the beginning of a new chapter in her life when she signed her national letter of intent to play for Fresno Pacific University.
Hilmar High's Landon Azevedo has committed to continue his athletic skills at Sacramento State University on an athletic scholarship for golf, signing his letter of intent Thursday.
Turlock High entered the 11th annual Harvest Bowl on Friday night with a chip on its shoulder and a playoff spot on the line. The Bulldogs had missed their shot at the Central California Conference championship by a mere three points a week prior, and with a 5-4 record, they desperately needed to defeat their rival, Pitman High, to keep their season alive.
Make the postseason in the first year as the head coach, check.
Every season is a new season.
As the end of the girls' tennis season is within reach, the team is still alive but the singles and doubles tournament ended for the Turlock High Bulldogs on Thursday at the Johnson Ranch Racquet Club in Roseville.
The Delhi Hawks soccer team had been running with a streak of wins this season, but it wasn't enough to stop Riverbank High, who defeated the Hawks 2-0 in their CIF Sac-Joaquin sections playoff game Thursday afternoon.
Pitman High's Lindsey Vander Weide is a force to be reckoned with on the court.
After visiting Turlock's Academy of Martial Arts, one thing is apparent - you don't want to mess with Derrick Williams.
To say the Harvest Bowl is unlike any other rivalry football game in high school sports would be an understatement.
It's a season sweep.

Entrepreneurship, Age, and Money – Is It Better To Start Young or Wait Until You Are Older?
My brother in law started his first business out of necessity. A layoff left him unemployed and he decided to design web pages for a few friends and family until he could find something better. Four years later he was running a consultancy, a design firm, and a video company with a handful of employees and a rapidly growing customer base. We talked often about businesses, since I too ran one at the time, but we had very different perspectives because I spent several years in the corporate world first, and he plowed right in at a much younger age.
One day he called me and excitedly yelled into the phone "Gantt charts!" He had grown so busy that he was about to crush under the strain of his workload, but after a bit of research he had discovered the joys of project management tools. He used them to implement a management system that allowed him to increase his workload several times over.
Coming from a corporate background, I was already quite familiar with Gantt charts and other things related to project management. As a result I began to think a lot about the benefits of having some corporate experience before pursuing an entrepreneurial path.
It irks me a bit to read some of these blog posts around the web where people write stuff that basically says entrepreneurship is for everyone, and if you aren't an entrepreneur you are a loser corporate drone. The irony is that successful entrepreneurs who sell their companies usually end up as "corporate drones", working at the acquiring firm for a few years. There is value in what you can learn working for a corporation, and there is value in waiting until you are older to start a company. I did it at 26 and that was probably too young. There was so much I didn't know. But then again there was so much I learned too.
It can be dangerous to learn about entrepreneurship on the web because of all the misinformation. I don't know if anyone believes the hype that you should start a business young, but I am concerned that people will make bad decisions. I'm all for entrepreneurship. It is exciting and educational and can be very rewarding, but it isn't right all the time for everybody. So, I decided to dig into some research and see if age makes a difference in entrepreneurial success. Along the way I uncovered some interesting data about entrepreneurs and money that I also want to address. I am not advocating that you do anything other than think for yourself. None of this is gospel. This is information in aggregate, and may not apply to you. But at least it may help counter some of the more ridiculous things you can find about starting your own business.
Entrepreneurs and Money
The common wisdom is that entrepreneurship is where the money is. I can add some anecdotal evidence that the two wealthiest people I know are entrepreneurs. But beyond that, most of the wealthiest people I know are corporate executives. If you ever become an entrepreneur, there is a good chance that you will end up hanging around other entrepreneurs, and the common joke you will share is the one about entrepreneurs having money.
The truth is that you are likely to make less money over your career as an entrepreneur than you would in the corporate world. Research shows that only the top quartile of entrepreneurs make more wages than their corporate employed counterparts. That means 75% of entrepreneurs would be better off financially with a regular job. You could counter by saying that wages may suffer but you can build wealth through your business, but you would be wrong again. The majority of entrepreneurs have $20,000 or less in business equity, and 30% of them have zero business equity. Surprising? Probably not given how many new businesses fail. One paper on entrepreneurs and optimism starts off this way:
Entrepreneurs make peculiar financial choices. They hold poorly diversified portfolios (Gentry and Hubbard, 2001; Heaton and Lucas, 2000). They bear excessive risk for the returns they earn (Moskowitz and Vissing-Jorgensen, 2002). They accept lower median life-time earnings than similarly skilled wage-earners (Hamilton, 2000).
Now, if you goal is an eight digit net worth then yes, entrepreneurship is just about the only way to get there. The trouble is that the odds are dramatically against your success. If you want to retire early with a couple of million socked away, stay in the corporate world, live cheaply, and be a good investor.
Entrepreneurs and Age
This might come as a surprise, but for knowledge intensive sectors, the average age of entrepreneurs is 37.6 years. Not exactly right out of college, is it? Research actually shows that companies are more likely to survive if the entrepreneur is older, has previous business experience, and is well capitalized. That data aside, here are what I see as the primary advantages of youth and age with respect to starting a business.
Advantages of Youth
- Energy – Starting a business takes a lot of energy, and younger people are more likely to have it.
- Free Time – Starting a business takes a lot of time too, and younger people without kids and other such commitments can devote their evenings and weekends to making the business work more easily than a mid-career entrepreneur with two kids to put through college.
- Recovery – If you crash and burn before 30, you still have time to do recover and not have blown your whole retirement or kids college fund.
- Open Minded – In general, young people aren't as corrupted by bloated corporate habits, are quicker to change, and more eager to learn from their mistakes.
- Learning Curve – If you start a business at 25, you will have vastly more experience by age 30 than most other 30 years olds. Of course, it may be the experience of failure, but you still learned something.
Advantages of Age
- Money – If you know you want to start a business some day, you can put away cash for ten years and fund your business yourself until you reach cash flow positive. It helps to have assets.
- Connections – When you are 25, you don't know a lot of executives at other companies. By the time you are 40, your friends and co-workers will have switched companies, changed jobs, and moved up the corporate ladder. This gives you easier access to decision makers and the people you need to help you get your business off the ground. Many of your old friends and co-workers will be your first customers, and open doors for you in all kinds of places.
- Wisdom – You have much more business experience to pull on. You don't have to learn or invent many of the standard processes that exist at most companies.
- Patience – The longer you wait, the more pitches you will see. If you aren't compelled to swing at anything and everything just to try to get a hit, you can wait for that pitch that is in your sweet spot.
How To Decide When It's Right
For many people, probably most, entrepreneurship isn't something they actively pursue. It just comes to them. They do not sit around wanting to start their own business, they realize an opportunity when it is presented to them, and decide to take the plunge. I think that is key. You have to pick the right opportunity. You have to find the opportunity that fits your skill set, your timing, and the readiness of the market.
The best predictor of entrepreneurship is not age, not income, not wealth, it is ability. Oddly enough, it is a U shaped curve. People very low and very high in ability tend to start companies. The middle usually stays put. From the paper linked to above:
We hypothesize that individuals with very low ability are more likely to take up selfemployment.These individuals may simply lack the discipline to work under someone else's authority, or in teams. They may also compare their low positions in their organizations and their low remunerations with those of higher ability individuals with similar human capital, and feel frustrated at the difference. They would thus be tempted to strike it out on their own. It is an empirical question whether their self-employment income would be higher than their paid employment income.
On the other hand, individuals with very high ability are those with high energy levels, who get things done, who have strong interpersonal skills, and who are creative problem solvers. These individuals may feel that, in spite of their above average remuneration, they can do better on their own. This is because they have to share with their principals a substantial percentage of the value they contribute to their organizations. Finally, individuals of average ability are likely to be compensated in line with their human capital – they are therefore less likely to search for self-employment opportunities.
You know yourself better than anyone. Why do you want to be an entrepreneur? If the answer is because you can't stand working for someone else or you can't deal with the 8-5 life, then you may not be cut out for startup success. You may fall on the lower end of that U shaped curve. But if you think you have untapped potential, if you think you could do more than you do at your current job, if you love the thrill of the game, and if you realize the financial risk you are taking, then make the jump.
Remember that entrepreneurship is personal, and that you have to take the pundits (including me) with a grain of salt. There is no best age to start a business. As your grow older, you simply trade one set of advantages for another. Don't worry about "when." Spend your time waiting for the right "what." You will dramatically improve your chances of success, and that will make the whole entrepreneurial experience a lot better.

That is a good point, but not one I can say much about. My personal experience has been the opposite. When I worked for a large company, I could come and go as I pleased as long as I made scheduled meetings, etc. I currently work for a small software startup and the situation is the same – very flexible. I leave by 5pm and if I have extra work I can do it from home. When I ran my own business, I was usually there from 7 or 8 am until 9pm. I had a lot less flexibility.
I am sure many people do start their own business to acheive such a flexible lifestyle, but I don't think it has to be an either/or proposition.
August 31, 2006 at 6:49 am
Excellent article! Although I don't think the best way to talk about entrepreneurs is in term of avarages and medians. It doesn't explain much about different entrepreneurial styles. The better way to do that is to split the group into segments (like a market). Do you know any research on that?
August 31, 2006 at 8:45 am
Sorry, but I don't have any research on segments.
That is why I said entrepreneurship is personal. The problem with your example is that not everyone is like you. Lots of people start young and fail – people that might have succeeded if they had more industry connections and business experience. This post was written because there are lots of young people out there that aren't ready. Many of these people will make great entrepreneurs later, when the time is right for them, but they think they have to do it now while they are young or else they lose their window of opportunity, because there are lots of bloggers telling them so. I wanted those people to undertand that it is fine to wait, and that in some ways you are better off starting a company at 35 than at 25.
I'm not against youthful entrepreneurship, but I don't want young people to feel like it's a now-or-never decision.
August 31, 2006 at 10:40 am
Indeed there is evidence that older people can do quite well with a startup. Wired ran an itneresting article on "two kinds of genius" – those who are young and those who are old:
The Washington Post also had a great article on people in their 50's and 60's who became wealthy from businesses they ran.
I say if it calls to you, do it. Age isn't the issue we might think it is.
August 31, 2006 at 2:55 pm
I have worked in the corporate world, for another small busines and now run my third business. Except for 8 years in the military and nearly that many in college, that's pretty much my adult life.
I don't know that age has much to do with success and Penelope is correct: success depends on how one measures it. On the other hand, Penelope, as a Baby Boomer I think perhaps you generalize much too much. No generation has the power to make things either great or horrible. We all follow in the foot prints of those before us and simply do the best we can. Remember, we were once anti-extablishment and free spirits who blamed everything bad on the Greatest Generation.
Back on subject: My corporate experiences made me better at what I do; however, the funny thing is that I would rate my first entrepreneurial effort my biggest success based on the six-year adventure and fun that it brought me.
August 31, 2006 at 9:29 pm
Hypothetically, let's say that there are a lot of young people who start businesses and fail. What is the impact of that failure? Probably nothing. They probably had a good time with friends. They probably lived in their parents house so they didn't need any money anyway, and reasearch from Babson and Darden shows that the best training for entrepreneurs is just doing it. So the young people who "fail" are doing pretty well for themselves.
August 31, 2006 at 11:34 pm
Wow! This is interested for me. I am 19 and on the brink of starting my own business. I'll let you know later which is right to start…young or old.
September 1, 2006 at 12:27 am
Great post because you support diverse ages and for different reasons. How sad to hear the young worry about being too young, and the old being too old! We are less apt to care about age if we focus on the acumen for the business and grow or use what we need to make it work. What a refreshing look at the possibilities out there — thanks!
September 1, 2006 at 2:07 pm
I think it does not matter whether early or late. Important is to try once a lifetime:
if you dont succeed you at least got the experience.
September 8, 2006 at 5:21 pm
I can't imagine becoming an entrepreneur when I am 40 or 50 years old. But, that is just me.
See this video by Guy Kawasaki on ideal age of an entrepreneur. Quite funny.
March 22, 2008 at 12:18 pm
this is great
March 23, 2010 at 8:24 am
Excellent article! I plan to open a very unique cafe soon, but plan to work in one first up to at least assistant manager level. I am 35, and so ready to start a business in many ways–but want to learn the old fashioned way–9-5. This is an old article, but not outdated. Glad I came across it because the prevailing dogma is so often used to hook people into MLM scams and such. I have attended the MLM meetings and even the Kiyosaki meetings–lots of naive people with gazing eyes. Thanks so much!
September 15, 2010 at 2:36 pm
I have to agree that starting your own business or being involved with one is a big risk. You may make much less money than people you know who work for larger corporations, but there is always potential. Not to forget about the experience and knowledge that is gained, the pay off may not come today, but it can and will.

As temperatures start to sizzle, portable air conditioners are in wide demand for emergency service. But contrary to common belief, portable air conditioning units are not just for emergencies or tented weddings.
A white paper from Atlas Sales & Rentals, Inc. provides a basic yet timely review of what building owners and managers need to know about portable cooling:
In addition to emergency and event use, portable coolers are also used for temporary cooling during shutdown of primary HVAC systems for service or renovation, and for building site cooling during construction or renovation. What's more, the word portable need not be synonymous with temporary.
Portable equipment is often installed on a permanent basis to cool special areas with heavy heat loads such as computer server rooms, or to deliver supplemental cooling to growing businesses where the primary HVAC system is no longer adequate. It can also provide targeted cooling to server rooms, office suites or other areas during nighttime and weekend setback of the building thermostat, saving energy by delivering cooling only when and where it is needed. It also offers a more flexible option for customers who rent space or move or renovate frequently.

East metro law enforcement officials on Monday were investigating two incidents of women being threatened at gunpoint with rape Sunday by the same suspect.
The man -- described as a 6-foot-tall white male, approximately 30 to 40 years old -- was wearing a black ski mask, dark-colored pants and light-colored surgical-type gloves during both incidents. He remained at large Monday.
"I'd say be real diligent, and just be aware of their surroundings," said North St. Paul's Capt. Dustin Nikituk. "This is a dangerous individual on the loose, and we need to get him into custody."
In the first incident, a woman was carjacked in North St. Paul while driving near Polar Arena about 7:45 p.m. Sunday.
View Kidnapping in Maplewood, carjacking in N. St. Paul in a larger map
About fifteen minutes later, a woman was leaving a Maplewood fitness club near White Bear Avenue and County Road D when a man got into the passenger seat of her car and threatened to shoot her with a handgun if she tried to escape.
The man ordered the woman to drive to various locations in Maplewood and told her he was going to rape her. He eventually got nervous, the woman later told police, and told her to drop him off in the area of County Road C and White Bear Avenue.
"In spite of the fact that incidents of this nature are very rare, the actions of this armed suspect are obviously dangerous, making his identification and arrest a top priority," said Maplewood Police Chief Paul Schnell in a news release Monday morning.
The vehicle from the first carjacking was later recovered in an apartment parking lot near the Polar Arena.

Coalition kicks off campaign in response to D.C. lobbyists
As the nations largest animal rights organization gathers signatures to place constitutional restrictions on livestock farming in Ohio, farmers are organizing in response.
Reporters, please visit our news room located in the Media and Publications section of this site.
As the nations largest animal rights organization gathers signatures to place constitutional restrictions on livestock farming in Ohio, farmers are organizing in response.
A community of farmers and nonfarmers is growing in a Columbus neighborhood. Clintonville Farmers Markets goal is to develop relationships between farmers and emerging underserved populations in the Clintonville area.
Clinton County Farm Bureau and Clinton County Farmers Market will hold the first presentation of Fast Food from the Farm, a monthly Grow and Know series of local foods cooking demonstrations, June 16.
Despite an amendment to improve the measure for agriculture, Farm Bureau believes climate change legislation approved by the U.S. House still falls short.
The debate over climate change is continuing to heat up in Congress and on farms across the country.
Delegates at the 91st American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting voted to oppose cap-and-trade climate legislation and to support balancing the federal budget over the next eight years.
Ohio Farm Bureau members logged into a members-only web meeting to get the latest information about oil and gas leasing and exploration in the state. Members are also invited to join Ohio Farm Bureau Director of Legal Education Leah Curtis Feb. 27 for an online meeting about Ohios CAUV program.
Think of your credit report as a report card and your credit score as the grade that indicates how youve handled your bills in the past. Getting high marks is important. After all, lenders use your credit (or FICO) score to set rates for loans and credit cards. Insurers use it when determining rates on some policies. And some employers even check it when screening employees.
Menu items for a classic Thanksgiving dinner including turkey, stuffing, cranberries, pumpkin pie and all the basic trimmings dropped 4 percent in price this year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
In a major victory for farmers and landowners, a Cincinnati appeals court has temporarily halted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys implementation of a controversial water rule that is of concern for farmers and landowners.
