Where is a good place to do stand-up at on Friday and/or Saturday nights in the city? I am at open mic level, having never done it. So, where my open mic nights be?
I just sent out a few resumes and applications to various places of employment. Send me vibes and wish me luck and, if you are religious, pray for me (because it's not selfish and wrong for an Atheist to wish for prayers, right?)!!!
So, I have a whole bunch of stand up written that I would really love to start testing out at open mic nights and such around the city but I have no clue as where to go. So, friends, where are open mic nights at on Friday or Saturday evenings/nights?
Hopefully I don't miss out on another Asssscat like the one two weeks ago.
A group of friends escape the end of the world in a time traveling sports car and death hunts them down. Back To The Final Destination. Who wants to buy it from me for 20,000 dollars?
Thinking about setting up a nerdy improv podcast like UCBTNY podcast and IRC podcast, but aimed at people describing their views and philosophies on different subject matter and a variety of people from different experience levels. Who would be interested in being a guest?
It makes me feel a bit less nerdy. Also, when one of said people recognizes me and says "Hey, Brentt, how are you?" when leaving the theater even though I have only talked to him once seven months ago, it makes me feel great. Also, I am totally a nerd.
I am going to Spank, Welcome To Camp/Men In Paintings and Cagematch. Just in case you were, y'know, curious what Brentt Harshman was up to.
I applied for a job at an Urban Outfitters.
Trust yourself and your discoveries.
Get me a job. Anything. Doing whatever for cash. Preferably something that gives me hours that allow me to still go to an ungodly amount of improv shows and classes. Here are my limits: Will not get naked, will not perform sexual acts on another human being for cash, will not be treated like a piece of dirt/meat. kthanks
( ) was amazing tonight. Best group support I have seen yet. I cannot wait until next Tuesday.
I improvised today in a practice group under Lydia Hensler (who is wonderful) and I was rusty as hell! It was fun even though I felt like I was a German tourist in a local's bar. I cannot wait for class on Wednesday and practice group take two on Monday.
Aside from my rusty improv, I have had a lot of fun since being back. I have gone to a few improv shows, seen a bunch of my friends, had some good food and haven't been sad yet!
Here's to living life.
Something's Gotta Give; y'know, the song from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, is playing in the airport on the day of supposed Rapture on the same day that the Center for Disease Control is tweeting about what to do in case of a zombie outbreak. OH NO, YOU GUYS.
I am currently brainstorming my newest project, and it is super exciting. I really dig this idea. Gold, I tell you, gold.
I realized how many friends I have out there. Thank you all for the words of wisdom and advice on the matter. You all rule.
I want to buy a bicycle, preferably a single speed, when I get up there ASAP. What are some good bicycle shops in Manhattan that have good bikes for a decent price?
Sweet Dick!

One of the scariest things I remember from my childhood was the episode of Magnum PI where Magnum was trapped under an airplane and gets bitten by a centipede. The centipede's venom causes Mangum to hallucinate Higgins with a fly's head. This episode was too complicated for my young mind to handle, and scenes from that episode still haunt me to this very day. And that's why you should listen to these tips.
Here are some tips for keeping centipedes out of your home
1. Move firewood away from your house.
2. Repair holes with caulk. Weatherstrip around your windows and doors. A well-insulated home is a centipede-free home.
3. Fix leaks.
4. Centipedes are predators. Keeping your home free of pests will also keep your home free of centipedes.
5. Centipedes like hanging around woodpiles and compost bins. If you move those things near to your garden, centipedes will also be near your garden and they will gobble down pests.
6. Using pesticides for centipedes isn't very effective, since the centipede corpses will attract more inse

So I sent these texts to my mom. She replied with fine, go try. So here is my backstory. My mom doesnt want me and wont let me buy my own tickets to see You Me At Six in Toronto on October 15th because it is right after the long weekend and is a school day. I need 2 THOUSANDnotes by tomorrow/ later today in order to sway my mom into letting my buy tickets. This isnt for popularity, or to see how much notes a post can get; this is a post that can ultimately help me see my favourite band live, to see the men that saved my life in person.
Honesty I don't even know why you followed this blog anyway. I never even post anything! Haha, well I decided to use the queensofthestoneage URL for my main blog and switch my old URL with this one. Feel free to unfollow this blog, follow my main blog, or listen to …Like Clockwork. It's amazing, right? ;)
I bet you watched this video thinking it was a normal home-video, right? WRONG. 8 in 10 people who watch this video will not notice the girl in the blue shirt. The reason for this is because she is a ghost. She died in 2004, and she was murdered by her sister. If you don't reblog this video within the next 30 minutes, at 2:37 AM, she will be looming over your bed, ready to kill you. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. SHE WILL KILL YOU. Reblog, and you will be guaranteed safety. Please, reblog this too, so no one else will be killed. Melissa Cruez saw this on her dash, but did not reblog. Her mother found her, stabbed 24 times in her bedroom the next morning. Want to be the next Melissa? THEN DON'T REBLOG THIS! SCROLL PAST IT JUST LIKE SHE DID! YOU'LL BE DEAD, TOO!
Please, reblog this, and stay safe. Do not RISK it. You will DIE!!!!!
gah sorrry guys ! but this scared me D;
sorry guys, im really scared hahaha):

#2 If IT does not know the local admin password, how can they do their job, patching & maintaining the PC.
Realistically, there shouldn't be any HR related applications that absolutely require end users to use the Admin ID to
do their job. And there is no other reason for user to know admin password.</snip>
Where I work we use images from our corporate parent. We install them over the network, leaving the "admin" account
password as it was set by corporate, which allows them to push updates they have tested for conflicts. AFAIK only the
people who make the images and the Landesk software know that password. The local techs have two accounts, a "normal"
account and a "shortname" account with full admin privileges. Normally the tech will login with the normal account, but
when there is a need to install software or do anything else requiring admin rights the shortname is used. The
shortname accounts are monitored more closely than the normal accounts, and any tech abusing his position will be dealt
with appropriately.

We all know that the Colorado Rockies' rotation is bad. It looked poor before the season started, but now it looks really really bad. Part of that has to do with injuries. Four pitchers who have started for the Rockies are on the disabled list.
While one, Eddie Butler, came up in the middle of the year, the other three, Brett Anderson, Tyler Chatwood, and Jordan Lyles were supposed to be major parts of the rotation from the beginning of the season. Losing four starters is big, and as a result 10 pitchers have started at least a game, including two, Tyler Matzek and Christian Bergman, who weren't supposed to start at all this year and basically became staff aces immediately.
It's not only injuries, though. It's poor performance which really stings, and it's poor performance which led to this question. By just following recent starts, you would expect Juan Nicasio to be starting on Saturday for the Rockies. And if that were the case, there would be no reason to write this post. But Nicasio is not going to start, and that's not due to injury; he was optioned to the minors yesterday due entirely to poor pitching. Nicasio has said that he's lost right now, and the numbers support that: he has a 5.92 ERA, he's giving up 1.85 homers per nine innings (second worst in baseball, and he's given up 15 homers), and his strikeout rate is down (he has just 46 strikeouts). He's given up 25 earned runs in his last 15.2 innings, which has raised his ERA by more than two runs.
So it doesn't seem likely that Nicasio will get the ball on Saturday. Who will? I really have no idea. It's not going to be Nicasio's roster replacement, as the Rockies called up outfielder/first baseman Kyle Parker. It's not likely to be anyone from AAA, because the Rockies have already taken Bergman and Matzek from the Sky Sox, and those were the only two real possibilities. The next best from AAA are Johan Flande (4.82 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 28 years old, zero career MLB starts) and Brett Tomko (3.86, 1.41, 41 years old). No thanks.
It's also unlikely that one of the injured guys will be ready to return. Anderson, who's on the 60 day DL, is eligible to come off but, last we heard, is far from a return. Chatwood wouldn't be able to pitch even if he were ready. Lyles and Butler are both likely out a while longer. Looking at the current roster, the only guy who makes sense is Franklin Morales, if only because he has started 11 too many games this year already. But nobody wants to see Morales because he's a train wreck with no upside and an ERA almost as bad as Nicasio's.
That leaves us looking at the Tulsa Drillers' roster for help. And that leads us to Jon Gray, who is really the only other option. Gray's the Rockies' top prospect, and it's clear that he's not ready. Gray is 22 years old and has pitched just 106.1 innings of professional ball (22 starts). With that said, Gray is still probably the best option.
He's pitching well, and could probably come in and be more effective than Morales. That's probably the debate the Rockies' brass is having internally right now: Morales vs. Gray. Do you go with the worse pitcher, Morales, or do you go with the top prospect who needs more time in the minors?
The more popular choice would be Gray, but I'd lean towards (gulp) Morales. This team isn't ready to contend, and I think it's more important to keep Gray in the minors for at least another few months than it is to enhance the chance of a win on Saturday. I never thought I'd say this, but I think Franklin Morales should start on Saturday for the Colorado Rockies. Unless, of course, the Rockies make a quick trade for someone like David Price. That would be nice, too.

1-- U.S. Open Championship, Canadian Open, Phoenix Open, Southern Open, Southern Open, Danny Thomas Memphis Classic, Pensacola Open, Tournament Players Championship.
Career Highlights
2009: Opened with an 8-under-par 64, matching his career low on the Champions Tour, to share the first-round lead with Bernhard Langer at the Allianz Championship. Trailed Gil Morgan and Tom Jenkins by one stroke after 36 holes before a final-round 72 eventually left him with a T12 finish in Florida. 2008: Experienced another season cut short due to injury, making just 10 starts...Started his year as a conditionally-exempt player but quickly returned to fully-exempt status in the first official, full-field event of the season. Recorded his second Champions Tour career victory, at the Turtle Bay Championship in Hawaii, besting Fulton Allem and Jim Thorpe by two strokes. Was the only player in the field to record three consecutive sub-par rounds at Turtle Bay. Dedicated win to Kevin Wilk, an acclaimed director of sports medicine and rehabilitation at the Andrews Institute, whose son had passed away just two weeks prior to the tournament. Started final round four strokes back of Gil Morgan and carded a 2-under 70 in relentless tradewinds to eventually triumph. His Sunday score equaled the low round of the day (Wayne Grady) and helped end a winless drought of 38 Champions Tour events...Nearly made it two wins in succession in his next start. Was the 36-hole leader at the Allianz Championship after opening rounds of 66-67, but closed with a 1-over 73 to finish T9...He and teammate Andy Bean finished T4 in the Legends Division at the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf in Savannah...Also was T5 at the AT&T Champions Classic in Valencia, CA...In late May, withdrew from the Senior PGA Championship after a first-round 84 and did not play again in 2008. Underwent his fifth surgery on his left shoulder, a cartilage reattachment, on July 25 and also had a procedure done on his left knee for a torn meniscus. Subsequent rehab kept him out of action for the remainder of the season. 2007: Slipped from 32nd the previous season to 41st on the final money list...Was T9 at the MasterCard Championship at Hualalai, his first start since right-shoulder surgery in July 2006...Second top-10 finish came in August when he posted three consecutive sub-par rounds on his way to a T8 at the Boeing Classic. Fell just one stroke shy of the record seven-man playoff.2006: Season was limited to just 14 starts after shoulder woes forced him to the sidelines midway through the summer...Underwent surgery July 21 in Birmingham, AL, to repair torn cartilage in his right shoulder. Missed the remainder of the season while undergoing an extensive rehabilitation program...Earned his first win in 23 years, 11 months, 5 days when he prevailed at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am in February near Tampa FL. Birdied the final hole to hold off a trio of contenders, including Hale Irwin, Mark James and Morris Hatalsky. Hit a 5-iron from 165 yards to within 10 1/2 feet to set up his winning birdie. Capped his post-round celebration jumping into a nearby pond at No. 18, replicating his feat almost 24 years after winning the Tournament Players Championship and taking a dip in the lake at TPC Sawgrass. His winning check for $240,000 was the largest of his professional career, and the win came in his 54th start on the Champions Tour. 2005: Followed his successful rookie campaign with another solid season, finishing in the top 30 on the money list for the second straight year...Missed a golden opportunity to win the Senior PGA Championship at Laurel Valley in May. Held a one-stroke lead with one hole to play, but three-putted from 25 feet for a bogey-6 on the last hole of regulation to fall back into a playoff with Mike Reid and Dana Quigley. Eventually lost to Reid on the first extra hole when he missed an eight-foot birdie putt that would have extended the overtime session...Won the Par-3 Contest at the Masters in April. 2004: Made Champions Tour debut at the Royal Caribbean Golf Classic and was T23 at The Links at Key Biscayne, posting the best 36-hole score of anyone in the field on the weekend...Made a serious bid for his first victory on the Champions Tour when he was the 36-hole leader at the Commerce Bank Long Island Classic. Led by two strokes entering the final round, but eventually finished fifth on the Red Course at Eisenhower Park, two strokes back of eventual winner Jim Thorpe. Came close again in late August when he took the lead at the JELD-WEN Tradition with two holes to play following an eagle at No. 16, but finished bogey-bogey to T2, one stroke behind Craig Stadler...Finished second to Allen Doyle at the Bayer Advantage Celebrity Pro-Am near Kansas City. Did not get the chance to battle Doyle on Sunday after the final round was canceled due to weather-related damage to the course the previous night. 2003: Was expected to make his Champions Tour debut in September shortly after turning 50, but July surgery forced him to postpone plans...Underwent surgery on his left shoulder, the same one he had done in 1987. Dr. James Andrews performed the "cleaning out" surgery in July. Pate spent the remainder of the year undergoing rehabilitation.

Met with a great company yesterday called SurveyGizmo. Another Boulder tech start-up that saw a demand and filled it with an easy-to-use, effective, affordable product – in this case, an online survey tool.
Blogger's Tangent: Boulder's a great town for start-ups, by the way, in case you're out there thinking of re-locating here, or are currently here and need a nudge to get going. Just check what the NYT says. And the fact that we are apparently the brainiest city in the US)
Back to SurveyGizmo, and online surveys in general – what business wouldn't want to know what people think of it? Too often business leaders say "I think" when they should say "My customers told us that…". So, here's a list of helpful ways you should be using an online survey tool, roughly in order of business importance:
- Customers: What do you think of our product/service? What features would you like to see in the next version? How do you rate your last experience with your salesperson or Customer Service Representative? Which of the following product designs do you like the most? (great for testing before you build)
- Prospects: What are the most important things you consider when purchasing from companies in our space? What media do you spend the most time using to keep updated on your industry? (use this to plan your next media buy)
- Employees: What do you like/dislike about working for Company X? How can we improve our product, or the way we treat our customers?
- Business Partners: How can improve the quality of our strategic partnership? What are some ways we could improve our product/service that would meet the needs of your clients?
- Suppliers: What information could we provide to make it easier to work with us?
These are just 5 audiences who know something that you would like to know. There are obviously more. But the point is don't assume you know what people are thinking. Just ask them!

Raspberry Rosé Sorbet
Makes about 1 quart
2 cups (500 ml) dry rosé wine
2/3 cup sugar
3 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
In a medium saucepan, bring the rosé wine and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat, add the raspberries, and let cool to room temperature. Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor and then press through a fine mesh strainer to remove the seeds.
Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Remove from the ice cream machine and let it freeze for at least 2 hours in the freezer to firm up before serving.
Note: because of the abundance of wine, this sorbet is very soft. Do not be alarmed. Just make sure it has a chance to firm up in the freezer before serving.

Red & Pink Gift Wrap Motif
Once thought to clash, red and pink are a fashion-inspired choice.
Digital director Brandie Weikle chose this bright paper because it reminded her of her favourite colour-blocked summer outfit, a red pencil skirt with pink silk top. The paper is handprinted in India on 100 per cent recycled paper. A bright satin ribbon in a tailored bow picks up the red in the pattern.

Asdrubal honored by Cleveland BBWAA
tagged as: mlb.com. cleveland indians. jordan bastian. asdrubal cabrera. chris perez. defense. offense. pitching. off season.
Asdrubal Cabrera's breakout showing in the batter's box and jaw-dropping defensive displays made the Indians shortstop a frequent topic of conversation this past season. Through it all, manager Manny Acta kept reminding reporters of a critical fact.
"People forget how young he is," Acta said. "He's maturing overall — as a person, as a player, as a shortstop and as a hitter. It takes time."
What did not take long was for Cabrera to emerge as a leader for the Indians during the 2011 season. Given his impressive performance, it came as no surprise that the Cleveland chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America named Cabrera this year's recipient of the Bob Feller Man of the Year Award.

It was in a whirlwind of optimism that I pre-ordered my PS4... Unpacking the sleek black box my touch outlined the embossed PS4 logo. I slid off its thin protective bag and placed it on the shelf it would call home... in reality all it had that was 'next gen' was 'great Wi-Fi'.
You've probably heard a few things I've done, maybe 'Teardrop' by Massive Attack, the title song for the TV show 'House MD', or the track I did with David Bowie for the movie 'Moulin Rouge'. You might even have a copy of an album by Massive Attack and played the video game 'Halo 4'.
Edgy, epic, rarely dull and stunning to look at. And best of all, it's about something. However, 20 minutes in I wished heroic Max (Matt Damon) would get a break - and not just his arm from a cop droid.
I never thought I'd be the kind of person to care about guns - as long as it did the job and killed the enemy it's all good, right? - I was surprised at how fun it was to explore all the different types of weapons and have fun trying to find which one suits my playstyle the most.
When we think of the games industry we still imagine a world that is populated entirely by men. Boys make games so boys buy games so boys make games. The girl gamer - and games designer - remains a lesser spotted beast.
Overall if you are a fan of Halo then you have to get this game. And if you are new to Halo then you won't be disappointed either. Go on, get it, now. Halo 4 is available right now for the Xbox 360 - and frankly it's a must have game. It's not just one of the best games of the year, it is THE game of the year.
Many are looking on with baited breath as 343 Industries pick up the hallowed Halo franchise from the series' paternal developer Bungie. Halo 4 is named correctly as the fourth game in the series, with Reach and ODST essentially being tangential to the main Master Chief touting story.

Will Lindsay's weight loss take away some of her power?
Jul 24th, 2002, 04:28 PM
I don't think it will have that big of an impact in the power department, but it could a little, right? I hope not...
Jul 24th, 2002, 04:37 PM
Not enough to notice...
Jul 24th, 2002, 04:47 PM
No, fat does not increase the amount of power that goes in to your shots.
Jul 24th, 2002, 04:56 PM
Lindsay's power comes from neither muscle nor mass, it comes from her long, lanky arms.
Jul 24th, 2002, 05:01 PM
from her long, lanky arms? i see you don't know much. her power comes from all aspects of her body. You can hit a ball hard standing up straight with your feet planted straight. But when you move your body and feet forward and follow through with the shot you throw more force into the swing. There you can hit the ball harder. But to this thread, loosing weight in a way can effect her power, but it depends on how much she lost. What she looks like now, there is no way it will. But if she dropped down to say about 140lbs. Well there you might have a problem if she hadn't gained any muscle.
Jul 24th, 2002, 05:05 PM
remember muscle weighs more than fat does...
Jul 24th, 2002, 05:06 PM
If she fails in endurance, she will be weak,won't she? She tired over the weekend in by Sunday Springfield according to one of the spectators I talked with last night. He said she was good on Saturday and noticeably weak Sunday. If she is too skinny, then what will her body burn for fuel during the match? (That is not a rhetorical question; I can never remember how all that works.) So maybe this is about being too skinny instead of not carrying extra weight. Is she too skinny?
Jul 24th, 2002, 05:35 PM
Lindsay's power comes not in her muscle and body.
It rather comes from her technical skill. Her groundstrokes seems really effortless if you would notice.
Her power would not diminished rather she will be more dangerous and powerful as ever.
Jul 24th, 2002, 05:42 PM
Davenport lost that weight because of her knee. Philippoussis did the same thing. She will never be able to carry a lot of weight on that knee without problems. Her next goal is to build muscles, but not too fast. I wish her luck, though she's not my fav.
Jul 24th, 2002, 06:33 PM
After seeing her play on Saturday and Sunday, it appears to me that she's lost none of her power. Her movement is still hampered a bit and she's a little rusty, but she's still got the power.
Jul 24th, 2002, 06:37 PM
"from her long, lanky arms? i see you don't know much. her power comes from all aspects of her body. You can hit a ball hard standing up straight with your feet planted straight. But when you move your body and feet forward and follow through with the shot you throw more force into the swing. There you can hit the ball harder."
LOL at this person. I play tennis religiously and can hit the ball atleast as hard as anyone on the WTA (and yay, my serve has gotten up to "Hingis" speed). I guess you never heard of the CD effect? When a CD spins, the edge of the CD travels faster than the center of the CD because it has more area to travel in an equal amount of time. Lindsay has very long arms, and because she swings quickly and can whip her long arms, she generates tons of speed. It's how I hit it hard, it's how Daniela Hantuchova does it, and to an extent, Venus Williams. And what you said about stepping into the ball is true, but Lindsay doesn't lean foward more than any other top 10 player, so the point is moot.
Williams Rulez
Jul 25th, 2002, 08:28 AM
Her power comes from her great timing and indeed, her long arms. But I tend to believe it is due to her great timing more than anything else, you can tell Lindsay's groundstrokes are very clean. So most of her power should be from the timing.
