Jen Kober
Originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Kober has bounded onto the national stage - playing colleges, theatres and comedy clubs all over the country and bringing crowds to their feet with her original blend of stand-up, story telling, and improvised rock-n-roll comedy. Leslie Berman of The SWLA Times writes,"Kober is one of the most talented comics of our time. I have been betting on her to find her niche and go national since the first time I saw her. I thought: Shes got to be our 21st Century Lucille Ball, and thats no exaggeration. If you're twenty years younger than me, think hipper Tracey Ullman." Jen Kober currently lives in Los Angeles, CA where she continues to develop new material and travel the globe spreading mass amounts of laughter world-wide with both her stand-up and improvised comedy shows.
Jen loves Yoo-Hoo and ranch flavored Corn-Nuts and wonders why instant gratification takes so long.
Sheena Metal
Sheena Metal's name has become synonymous with Los Angeles radio for the better part of twenty years. She currently hosts four shows for LA Talk Radio, including her top-rated afternoon drive show, "The Sheena Metal Experience", which was just named one of the Frontier 50 by Talkers Magazine. Previously, she helmed five shows for KLSX (when it was 97.1 The FM Talk Station with Howard Stern in the mornings) one of which received a comprehensive feature in the Los Angeles Times Sunday Calendar. In addition, Metal was interviewed and quoted in Michael C. Keith's "Sounds in the Dark", currently in publication with a forward by radio monarch, Larry King.
Known for her biting sense of humor, Metal has appeared as: a comedic commentator on "National Inquirer TV", a guest sous-chef on the reality cooking show, "Dish It Out!", part of a dancing engagement party for Oprah Winfrey Network's "Real Life: The Musical" and was the annual host of the All Access Music Awards. She has headlined two long-running stand-up comedy nights at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood ("Sheena Metal's Midnight Madness" and "Inside the Girl's Locker Room"); the latter of which was an all-girl laugh in praised by the LA Times. In 2014, Sheena returns to the comedy clubs for a series of edgy variety nights called, "Comedy Carnivale" at the Hollywood Improv. -
Nina Daniels
Nina encapsulates audiences from NY to Japan with her hilariously original autobiographical stories. Often, but not always, Nina may be accompanied by her childhood best friend, "Gerry" the cello. Nina performs a one of a kind stand-up show that is unique on many levels for all to enjoy. Nina can be seen this summer in the critically acclaimed Showtime's series Masters of Sex. Nina's other recent credits include the Sundance Award winning film Pariah and Fox Searchlight's Notorious. Nina is pretty sure she's "the most famous black female cellist comedian you know."
Ryan Sickler
If the adage is true — that tragedy plus time equals comedy — then Ryan Sickler has paid his dues on the left side of the equation. Born in Baltimore, Ryan lost his father when he was 16. After that, he bounced from one relative to another. And while his early years might have seemed rocky, that tumultuous childhood gave him both fodder for material and armor against the relentless onslaught that is life as a standup comic.
His television appearances include The Pete Holmes Show, Comedy Central's Tosh.O, Live At Gotham, Cutman and The Late Late Show.
Beyond standup, Ryan Sickler is an engaging storyteller. You can catch him every Tuesday (Toozdee) on his podcast, The CrabFeast. Inspired by his hometown, the show celebrates the things Ryan loves most — storytelling, family, friends and laughter.

Brent Weinbach
Brent Weinbach's stand-up comedy is weird. He is a winner and recipient of the Andy Kaufman Award, which is given out once a year to recognize innovation in stand-up comedy. He is also responsible for various internet video sensations such as Gangster Party Line and Ultimate Drumming Technique, as well as the cult web series, Pound House. Brent has appeared on Conan, Lopez Tonight, Comedy Central, HBO, IFC, ABC, and Adult Swim, and also toured with the Comedians of Comedy.
"...obscenely, disturbingly brilliant." -L.A. Weekly
"...weird in the best way" -Time Out NY -
Erik Charles Nielsen
Ashley Barnhill
Ashley Barnhill is from San Antonio, Texas. She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and soon after she went on to receive her Juris Doctorate from the University of Texas School of Law.
Around that time, Ashley found Twitter and got her start writing jokes in miniature. Since then, she has become a contributor to Witstream.com and was recently featured on the Huffington Post's "18 Funny Women You Should Be Following on Twitter."
Ashley soon after moved her delivery to the stage and became known for her dark and compact one-liners. She's performed at festivals such as the Moontower Comedy Festival and the New York Comedy Festival, and she recently headlined the New Orleans Comedy Arts Festival. The Austin Chronicle spotlighted Ashley's stand-up, saying "finding her strength in the caustic, surprise one-liner, Barnhill's style frequently skews morbid, from the slow death of a relationship to actual, real, slow death."
Ashley has written and acted in many of her own sketch videos that have been front-page featured on Funny or Die and Huffington Post. Most recently she wrote, produced, edited and acted in the sketch "#blessed," which the Huffington Post referred to as "a twisted take on daily affirmations."
Ashley has studied sketch and improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) and is trained in the Meisner Technique. She is the lead in the upcoming independent feature film Here There Now Year Ago. You can also catch her in the film The Dividing Line at the Bare Bones International Independent Film & Music Festival this April. -
Harrison Greenbaum
Harrison began performing stand-up comedy while studying psychology and English at Harvard. A summa cum laude graduate, Harrison was the co-founder of the Harvard College Stand-Up Comic Society (or "Harvard College SUCS," as the group's name is cheekily acronymized), the first organization at Harvard dedicated to the performance and appreciation of stand-up comedy and one still popular on campus today.
Now living in Manhattan, Harrison has quickly become one of the most in-demand comedians in New York, performing in more than 600 shows a year and thus leading the NY Daily News to call him "the hardest-working man in comedy." One of Comedy Central's "Comics to Watch," Harrison has also received many awards and honors for his comedy, including the Andy Kaufman Award (2010) for creativity and originality in comedy, the Shorty Award in collaboration with Comedy Central and the New York Comedy Festival for "Best Emerging Comic" (2011), and the Magners Comic Stand-Off (2011).
On television, Harrison is the warm-up comic for Katie, Katie Couric's daytime talk show on ABC. He has also been featured on SPIKE TV, the Discovery Channel, the Science Channel, and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. The co-host of the official Times Square New Year's Eve World Wide Webcast in 2010, Harrison broadcasted live to over 250 million viewers around the globe. Internationally recognized for his talent, Harrison was the head writer for Tu Nite con Lorenzo Parro, the first-ever late night show on NBCU/Telemundo; was a featured correspondent on the Japanese television show, Scooper, which was broadcast nationally on Nippon TV; and was a featured act in the Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival in Scotland.
Harrison also headlines comedy clubs around the country, including sold-out shows at TBS Just for Laughs Chicago and the legendary Carolines on Broadway (leading Punchline Magazine to name Harrison one of the "Breakout Artists" of the year). Harrison has also been featured in a wide variety of national and international publications, including being highlighted for the "Joke of the Week" in TimeOut NY and being featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, and CNBC.com.
Harrison's one-man show, Harrison Greenbaum: What Just Happened?, debuted at the legendary New York comedy hotspot, the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, before commencing an Off-Broadway run and national tour.
Harrison is a talented comedy writer as well. He is a nationally published author (with selections printed in the books, 50 Successful Harvard Essays, 2nd ed., and How They Got Into Harvard) and has been a writer for MAD Magazine since 2005.
From colleges to comedy clubs, from talk shows to theaters, Harrison is bringing his unique style of comedy to audiences across the country and around the world, proving each night why publications such as Newsday have named him one of "today's best."
Melinda Hill
MELINDA HILL has performed stand-up all over the world, and is an accomplished actress and writer. LA Weekly describes her as, "bubbly, adorable, outlandish, funny," and Buzzine Magazine claims she "puts the fun back in funny and the smart back in smarty- pants." In 2010 she appeared in several sketches on Comedy Central's Pretend Time with Nick Swardson (produced by Adam Sandler), and in the film Bright Day, opposite Bill Maher. She is also the voice of Dr. Princess on the cartoon Adventure Time. Other TV appearances include, Glory Daze, Reno 911, Sarah Silverman Program, Important Things with Demetri Martin, Frank TV, The Winner, and Chris Kattan's Bollywood Hero. Her stand-up has been featured on Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Bonnie Hunt Show, BBC's World Stands Up, NESN's Comedy All Stars, Comics Unleashed, and most recently when she hosted Byron Allen's Comedy TV.

Featuring candid personal experiences and anecdotes from the business world, "Produced by Faith "challenges the conventional wisdom about what it means to be a Christian in an increasingly polarized society. A wildly successful young executive, DeVon Franklin shows believers they do not have to spend their working lives shrouded in secrecy and hypocrisy. Instead, they can turn their faith into a professional advantage, using the compass of Christ's Word to guide them to their true calling, one they can pursue with passion, joy, and true service to God.

Bristol Rovers boss John Ward was relieved to finally see his side win at home for the first time since the end of August.
First-half goals from David Clarkson and Tom Parkes, plus a late Matt Harrold penalty, gave the Pirates a major lift against AFC Wimbledon, who finished with 10 men after having midfielder Sammy Moore dismissed for a second yellow card eight minutes from time.
Ward said: "I'm delighted for my players, but also for our fans who have been very patient while our home record has not been as good as we would like.
"I always say that if supporters could play for the club they would give 100 per cent and because they can't they expect nothing less from those who do wear the shirt.
"That's what they saw. Our young players are making progress and while they continue to show that level of commitment I will be prepared to be patient with them."
Ward added: "We may have got a break with a decision early on, but the ref has seen a handball and gave it our way."

Carnival Corporation ( CCL ) announced that it was redirecting a European liner to Shanghai to capitalize on the growing Chinese market in cruises. The liner - Costa Serena - which will sail all year round starting Apr 2015, will help the company to tap into the demand surge in China which is projected to become the world's second largest cruise market by 2017. The 3,780-passenger Costa Serena joins Costa Victoria and Costa Atlantica operational in China, in addition to the Sapphire Princess under the Princess Cruises brand, to be launched later this month. This redeployment will expand overall capacity of Costa - one of Carnival's top brands - in Asia by 74%. In 2015, with four ships based in China, Carnival's industry-leading capacity is projected to leap 140% over a two-year period. Carnival's decision to dispatch a fourth ship to China intensified the competition in the fast-growing Chinese market. Last month, reflecting the growing importance of Asia for the cruise industry, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. ( RCL ) announced that the 4,180-passenger ship Quantum of the Seas will sail from Shanghai to Japan and Korea next year. China has emerged as a strong revenue generating market for the cruiser lines. The vast population and a fast-growing middle class, not yet familiar with cruising, make China an attractive bet for these companies striving to make the most of the opportunity by making an early entry. Additionally, Shanghai -- China's largest city -- plans to invest substantially to develop its cruising infrastructure, such as building larger ports. Not only China, but the Asian continent is steadily emerging as a major revenue generating market for the cruise companies. Carnival is looking to tap into this demand by investing significantly in other Asian growth markets like Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea as well. Carnival currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Better-ranked stocks in the same sector include Regal Entertainment Group ( RGC ) and Speedway Motorsports Inc. ( TRK ). Both these stocks sport a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Galileo Probe -- The Galileo probe was an unmanned probe sent by NASA to study the planet Jupiter and its moons. Named after the astronomer Galileo Galilei, it was launched on October 18 1989 by the Space Shuttle Atlantis and arrived at Jupiter on December 7 1995. Galileo's launch had been significantly delayed by the hiatus in Space Shuttle launches that occurred after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and new safety protocols that were implemented as a result forced Galileo to use...
Cassini-Huygens Mission -- The Cassini unmanned space probe is intended to study Saturn and its moons. It was launched on October 15, 1997 and is estimated to enter Saturn's orbit on July 1, 2004. The mission is a joined NASA/ESA project. Cassini's principal objectives are to: -- determine the three-dimensional structure and dynamical behavior of the rings -- determine the composition of the satellite surfaces and the geological history of each object -- determine the nature and...
Escape Velocity -- An escape velocity is the minimum speed at which an object without propulsion can move away from a source of a gravitational field indefinitely if there is no friction. This definition may need modification for the practical problem of two or more sources in some cases. In any case, the object is assumed to be a point with a mass that is negligible compared with that of the source of the field, usually an excellent approximation.

City guide – Manchester, England
Commonly called the second city of the United Kingdom, many regular visitors would rather travel to Manchester than any other city in England. Known worldwide for its major football clubs, Manchester also houses a lively music scene, plus architectural delights like the Gothic John Rylands Library, Manchester Cathedral and Arley Hall & Gardens – a wondrous Victorian mansion. Several shopping centres ensure that you can find souvenirs in boutiques, designer and high street stores, while restaurants like Manchester House Restaurant and Lounge and The French Restaurant, where many celebrities including Posh and Becks have dined, are difficult to rival.
Manchester is described by many historians as the world's first industrial city due to its role in cotton and coal production in the late 1700s. The building of Bridgewater Canal, one of England's first canals, helped hasten the transportation of these products into Manchester in 1761. When the canal was finished, Manchester had yet to open its first school, library or theatre, and the city's population was just 22,000 in 1773. By 1823, that figure jumped to around 108,000, and it would peak at 766,000 in 1931.
Things to see and do
The music scene in Manchester has helped shape the careers of some of the world's most beloved musicians including the Bee Gees, Oasis and Morrissey. In the spring of 1965, three bands from Manchester — the Dreamers, Herman's Hermits, and Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders — filled the top three spots of the Billboard Hot 100.
Much of the world's most popular music today is regularly performed at the 21,000-seat Manchester Arena, one of the planet's busiest facilities along with London's O2 Arena and Madison Square Garden in New York. Many of the more than 250 events that take place at Manchester Arena every year are musical concerts.
Live shows also take place in front of tens of thousands of people at Old Trafford cricket ground and the City of Manchester Stadium, while some of the more intimate concert venues here include the O2 Apollo Manchester, Manchester Academy and Manchester Central.
This football-mad city is enviable as the home of some pretty incredible football history as well as a pair of famous modern-era clubs. In 1888, the world's first professional league was founded at the Royal Hotel in Manchester. Years later, Manchester United and Manchester City combined to win seven of eight Premier League titles from the 2006-07 season through to the 2013-14 campaign. City plays two miles east of the centre at the City of Manchester Stadium, and United's Old Trafford is three miles to the west.
Annual festivals
Sporting events
Several fun festivals take place in Manchester so you might want to want to schedule your trip to coincide with them. Sports fans should consider attending the British National Squash Championships, which are held at the National Squash Centre every February. Those with Irish blood, or those who simply want to be Irish for a couple of weeks, are encouraged to visit during the Manchester Irish Festival in March – its St. Patrick's Day parade is especially popular.
Runners can join 38,000 likeminded people for the Great Manchester Run, a 10-kilometre race held every May, while the Great Manchester Cycle race takes place on a 13-mile course in June.
Arts and cultural events
The Manchester International, a cultural gathering focused on new art, is held in June and July every other year. Party enthusiasts will want to make the trip to Manchester at some point between September and New Year's Day to take in the Warehouse Project and the tremendous industrial energy that surrounds this special club night in the city.
Contrary to popular belief, it actually rains less in Manchester than it does in the United Kingdom in general; Manchester's annual rainfall totals 1,125 millimetres. High temperatures in the summer usually reach 21 degrees Celsius while winter temperatures normally stay just above the freezing mark. Snow falls here between November and February – although it doesn't occur every year.
Getting to Manchester
Manchester Airport is the country's largest outside of the London metropolitan area, and it serves passengers flying in from major cities situated throughout Europe and the world. Some of the most popular airlines that serve this airport include easyJet, Flybe, Jet2.com, Monarch Airlines, Ryanair and Thomas Cook Airlines. Free Wi-Fi is available in all of its terminals, and many business travellers enjoy spending time in the Escape Lounges.
Those using public transportation can get into the city by taking one of the trains that depart Manchester Airport railway station, which is conveniently situated between Terminals 1 and 2. Once in the city, you will find that it is very easy to get around by using public transportation.
Manchester Metrolink will be the country's largest tram network once renovations are completed in 2016; Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria are two of England's busiest railway stations. Several bus companies provide further transportation options for those looking to get around Manchester.
This city is actually one of the most historic places in the world for rail travel. Liverpool Road railway station, which was open from 1830-44, served as a terminus for the oldest inter-city passenger railway in the world, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
Once you have your travel dates in mind, use our search function to choose from a wide array of hotels situated in Greater Manchester.

I have used this pencil...
Verified Purchase
I have used this pencil for a couple of months. It is utterly unreliable,
requiring constant disassembly to get the lead to advance. Every time I use it
it jams, and it will not feed lead after only a few clicks. Using different
leads, and cleaning out the mechanism, has not helped. It looks so nice, but it
is completely useless for writing. Move along; there is nothing to see here.

Verified Purchase
I'd just like to re-review this item.
As I said in the prior rating: It is a beautiful pencil, loose design, and squeaky click mechanism. Now after having using pencil for a more extensive period: If we were rating on beauty only- this pencil would receive a 5-Star If it were rated overall- it would be my new score: 3 stars. The top half of the pencil (above the metal band in the center) rotates. Initially I enjoyed rotating it, but now it simply squeaks and it really irks me. The click mechanism was initially reviewed as loose, and squeaky and I didn't mind. Now it bothers the hell out of me and feels like a weak pencil. ------- Now the biggest complaints: The grip is just simply too much form, and no function. It's smooth metal, with no rivets or anything. No grip at all. It becomes uncomfortable after a short period of time, and it feels too thick compared to my normal preference to really enjoy. It feels... unnatural. The feel of the writing just feels really... off. I can't explain. It feels like I'm hardly applying any pressure on the paper and my writing just looks a lot lighter/more faded than normal. From further examination, I've concluded it's the length of the tip of the pencil; it's simply not long enough and my angle of writing had become too high and the lead was not applying enough pressure. ------- Summary: Don't buy a pencil based on beauty alone. This was simply not the pencil for me. 2 people found this helpful

After buying this pencil,...
Verified Purchase
After buying this pencil, I'm still searching for just the right mini pencil.
One reviewer pointed it out, but I somehow missed this: You have to unscrew the
ERASER cap to use the eraser. So if you're writing, make a mistake, and need to
erase, you have to first pull the cap off the back of the pencil, AND THEN
unscrew the eraser cap. Like I said - I'm still searching. It is beautiful

Very nice pencil. Beautiful,...
Verified Purchase
Very nice pencil. Beautiful, sleek, (maybe minimal?) design.
It is a puny pencil when the cap is on, but average length when in use. The mechanism may be a hit or miss with some users. The bodies of the pencil (separated by the metal band in the center) are able to be spun, so it's not a solid design as you may expect. It's 'loose' as the other reviewer described, but I personally just enjoy spinning the pencil during class lectures to pass the time. The eraser is concealed by a screw-on cap, and will be time consuming whenever an eraser is needed. I use a whole separate click eraser when needed, so it renders the con void (for me), and the flat top just looks very appealing. The lead advance mechanism has a soft click, and when in use, the cap of the pencil does not securely 'click on' like how it does when used to conceal the tip. But that is unimportant, as it's still securely capped nonetheless. Nit-picking aside, it's an amazing pencil. |

This is a very nice pencil....
This is a very nice pencil. It would receive a 5 from me if it had a grip on it.
Other than that, it is flawless, and I especially love the cap, so that it won't
stab me.

Everything feels unnecessarily...
Verified Purchase
Everything feels unnecessarily loose with this pencil -- the cap doesn't click
in when in use, the cap spins around because the entire base it fits entirely
around the lead advance mechanism, and you often end up advancing the lead when
you put the cap back on to close it. And despite all this looseness, the eraser
is locked up behind a screw-on cap!
Get the Pentel Sharp Kerry, which does everything better. |

I bought this pencil and I love it! I think that it is the best pencil ever and
should be advertised. Here's my problem: In the picture, it looks like an
averaged sized pencil. But when you get it, it is puny! That is the only reason
I don't like this pencil, but I use this all the time.

I heard a lot about this little pencil and finally decided to get one for me.
Wow!! this is one cute well made and functional pencil. Small size and smooth
glossy finish. Nice to show off. The grip is just ok. The pencil lenght can be
extended by attaching the cap at the back of pencil. This one is pocket safe due
to the cap. I am impressed with the Ohto design and quality!!

This pencil is very well...
Verified Purchase
This pencil is very well made, and it feels like it is going to last me a long
while. Though it seems that maybe it is only wrong with the pencil i got but the
pipe above the grip always feels loose and when put into an extended pencil it
doesn't feel in place the top always spins. This really isn't a bad thing just
slightly bothered me, well in the end it is a very nice pencil and i very much
enjoy it.

Kyle Kendrick certainly had an interesting season. The 28-year-old spent the first half of the season alternating between the rotation and the bullpen. Before his impressive run from August 14-September 10 (when his ERA was just 1.49), there was one start where Kendrick proved that he belonged in the rotation.
Entering May 26, the Phillies were a game over .500 and in the midst of an important series with the St. Louis Cardinals. Because Vance Worley was injured, Kendrick would get the start.
At this point in time, Phillies fans weren't exactly comfortable with the idea of Kendrick starting, but he changed some minds in this outing. Kendrick tossed his first complete game shutout of his Major League career. He allowed seven hits, struck out four, and walked nobody.
Not only did he pitch a great game, but he earned the trust from his skipper. After the game, Charlie Manuel acknowledged that he would like to stick with Kendrick in the rotation for the tim...

WASHINGTON — Winners were feted and old friends greeted at Credit Union Times' Trailblazers reception Tuesday night at the GAC. (Photos by John Cooke)
The $3.9 billion Patelco Credit Union experienced its most profitable year in the Pleasanton, Calif.-based institution's 76-year history, with a $55.5 million net profit and 1.48% return on assets. In fact, last year's earnings were more than the total of $37 million earned from 2005 to 2011 combined.
The California economy and its credit unions are staging a comeback, but the Golden State doesn't glitter as brightly as it used to.
California credit union garners more than 7,000 donations from members and employees.
Two recent court cases in which former credit union employees claim they were improperly classified begs the question: who's exempt?
The 273,000 members of the $3.7 billion Patelco Credit Union in Pleasanton, Calif., can now deposit checks with their iPhones or Android devices.
Credit unions that have restructured loans for struggling members no longer have to pay the price on their financial performance reports. That's because a final rule released in May by the NCUA, which applied GAAP standards to the reporting of delinquent restructured residential mortgage loans, included a provision that released...
"Everybody in California is jumping up and down about this," Patelco CFO Scott Waite said of the new rule.

I know it's not cool to admit this and I'm definitely dating myself, but I Jello salads were one of my favorite side dishes growing up in the 60s and 70s. I loved their colorful, sweet, jiggly presence on our table, most often for Sunday dinners and holiday meals. I first learned to make jello salads with my grandmother, who seemed to pass on her love of them to my mother. The flavor and ingredient combinations were endless. Unfortunately, most of those salads, while tasty, were loaded with less than healthy stuff – sour cream, cream cheese and mayonnaise – for example. Making regular appearances were orange jello with cream cheese, cool whip and mandarin oranges; lime jello with cream cheese, mayonnaise, pineapple and marshmallows; and red jello with cranberry sauce and sour cream. So for this month's Recipe Re-dux I've decided to resurrect the jello salad of my youth, but give it a healthy makeover by removing a lot of the excess fat. It's an easy-to-make American cranberry classic perfect for the holidays. I made it with regular jello, but you could always use sugar-free jello instead. With just 2 PointsPlus per serving it's a fun guiltless indulgence. Food snobs may be tempted to turn up their noses. I'm unapologetic. You like what you like. I think a simple jello salad has the power to bring a smile to the child lurking within each of us. Enjoy! Cranberry Jello Salad in a Vintage Tupperware Mold {Recipe Redux} Vintage Side Dish

Millennials Need Instant Gratification
Posted on March 6th 2010
Why is it that Millennials demand instant gratification?? If you put yourself in our shoes, though, can you blame us? We grew up on technology. I used a computer for the first time in the fourth grade, primarily for computer games, and grew up as the Internet evolved. We are extremely technologically savvy and love exploring the web.
We desire instant gratification in other ways as well:
When we turned 16, we expected to get our license and a car.
When we hear a song we like, we want to download it instantly.
When we took a test or wrote a paper, we wanted results quickly.
When we send an e-mail, we expect a message immediately saying it was sent.
When we call someone, we expect them to pick up.
Now what is it about technology that everyone loves?
Instant access.
Confirmation that an action was received.
Quick responses.
The ability to compute things fast.
Since us Millennials grew up on computers and the Internet, and the above four components are major benefits of fast computers, that explains our need for a quick reward from every action. It is almost an innate instinct of ours to receive instant feedback from something we do, not because we are greedy, careless, or selfish, but because we great up that way. Many people criticize our age cohort because we are this way, but consider how you would respond to things if you grew up experiencing feedback or rewards after everything you did.

Rewarding spoiled brats just to shut them up isn't a good thing. You don't reward addiction to avoid withdrawl symptoms! Unplug!
This post is an explanation, which is fine, but what about proposing next steps? Is Kristin saying corporate culture needs to change as young people enter the work force and boomers retire? Or that her cohorts need to change their expectations in the business world?
Every generation brings its own challenges to the workforce -- my fellow Gen Xers brought a sense of distrust for authority, but we've integrated and worked out OK. Millennials will, too. But, I would argue, just like Gen Xers did, they will change and adapt more to the workplace than the workplace will change to adapt to them.
I can exhibit all the behaviours described by Kristin - and I'm a BabyBoomer!!
As a young graduate I was ambitious, impatient and wanted instant action - ok, we didn't have the same technology, but as an early adopter I was right out there pushing the boundaries (and I'd like to think I still am).
Perhaps we're just being distracted by the issues here?
Imagine being a parent of teenagers or 20 somethings during the flower power, hippy times ('60s) - makes our current Gen Y / Millenials look like cute kittens!
Like some of the other commenters - I've also spent the last decade lecturing undergraduate Gen Ys - and have not blamed technology on the issues they're reporting - rather the education/schooling system that has encouraged and rewarded these behaviours!
Maybe we're just all looking at someone or something else to blame - and maybe we're just all forgetting what we were like when we were younger!
How about trying to embrace their enthusiasm and energy and finding ways to combine our experiences into some really powerful changes to the way we work?
And no, Eric, my post wasn't censored. It turns out you have a major bug in your web page. If I click "Alert me via email when new comments are added to this post" before I hit submit, it refreshes the whole page and wipes out my entry.
The headline for this entry is misleading at best. The verbs in the body of the entry are defensible - demand, desire, expect. But those verbs all express a variation of want. Need is a whole other subject. And there is absolutely nothing in the column to support a need for instant gratification. Indeed, most psychological developmental theory would suggest the actual need is just the opposite - to develop the capacity for deferred gratification that marks adulthood. In light of the failure to do so, is criticism so difficult to understand? And is it somehow unreasonable?
The explanation offered for how a sense of entitlement to instant gratification developed is worth considering. Attitudes and behavioral patterns never develop in a vacuum. A culture's youth always reflects its values back to it. But there is a major aspect missing from the explanation - the role of consumer advertising. A perceived need for instant gratification is the gold standard for selling consumer goods and services. And the Millenials are without a doubt the best trained consumerists that Madison Avenue money could buy.
The question then seems to be this: Now that you've identified the causes of this attitudinal and behavioral pattern that no doubt present major problems in any life and invoke deserved criticism, what will you do about it? Are you prisoners of your training, like Pavlov's dog, or are you critically conscious human beings capable of charting your own course?
