...foods or smells elicit emotional responses? Every person has an emotional response to one or more particular foods. The response may be negative or positive depending on the situation that may have occurred with the food present. For instance a person may perk up while smelling coffee or someone may feel nauseated by just looking at a hamburger. These reactions are conditioned responses (CR) toward conditioned stimulus’ (CS) that were previously unconditioned. A conditioned response is a learned reflexive response to a conditioned stimulus. Before someone has the reaction to perk up from the scent of coffee, they first must go through a conditioning phase to associate coffee with feeling energetic. This is also called classical conditioning: the basic learning process that involves repeatedly pairing a neutral stimulus with a response-producing stimulus until the neutral stimulus elicits the same response. The unconditioned stimulus is coffee and the unconditioned response is energy to wake up or perk up for the day. During each morning a person may groggily get out of bed and begin brewing coffee. He or she pours a cup and begin to awaken more from the ingested caffeine. If done on a constant basis that person will begin associating the tastes and smells of coffee (CS) with being energetic (CR); even though the effects of caffeine takes 20 minutes to begin working. Another conditioned response could be feeling nauseated at the sight or smell of a certain...

...Badass Coffee Of all places in our neighborhood, the local coffee shop located just a few steps away from my house is the coziest little nook where one can spend the night. With a stylish interior, warm and friendly atmosphere and a diverse and quiet public, it is the place to have a chat with friends or pick up a cup on the way to work/school. When one walks in from a busy, speedy street, the first thing that strikes the eye is the somewhat humble interior with its bright yellow and orangey colors and cheerful tones. A ray of light lingering through the window onto the main counter which is filled with light blue plastic travel mugs alternated by ceramic tanned mugs with the badass logo displayed. To the left of me was this beautiful palm...

...sentence or sentences. If it is implied, state the thesis in your own words. In my opinion the thesis of Lou’s Place is implied. It does imply that Lou and his customers have an unspoken bond and fondness for one another, even though they belittle each other and the customer pays to pour their own coffee. Lou’s Place is not that place where the service is perfect or the conversation is polite. It is that place where you can be yourself; cook your own eggs and where service is not at all prompt. It is almost as if you are at home with family and friends. You will be criticized before you even find a complement. 2. Which statement would best serve as a topic sentence for paragraph 13? Explain why. I think the best topic sentence for paragraph 13 would be “Regular customers at Lou’s are used to taking care of themselves while Lou reads his paper.” It properly reflects how Lou is acting; he allows his customers to help themselves to coffee. It seems as if Lou would rather read his paper then assist the people that come into his coffee shop. Lou may open his doors before the coffee shop is open, however he is not ready to serve people and is most likely trying to wake up, while...

...My grandmothers house has a special place in my heart. I lived with my grandmother for many years when I was little. Her house always seemed to have something about it that set it apart from any other house. As you walk into the front door of her house you notice a long, slim stairway that led up into the main hallway of the house. The strong smell of cigarette smoke is pretty evident when you reach this hallway. Yes, my grandmother did smoke. My grandmother's house was always full of laughter and tons of smiles. Our family used to call it mom's house. There was always someone over her house visiting. My grandmother's doors were always open no matter what. When my grandmother had company she would mute the television and start the coffee. My grandmother always sat in the kitchen of her house. This is where she would drink her hot black coffee with no sugar and smoke her Winston light 100's. She would sometimes sit in her kitchen for hours and watch the birds and squirrels. She would crumble up some toast and feed it to them by tossing it on her sidewalk. In the summer time my grandmother would sit out on the front porch for hours and talk to any and everyone about everything imaginable. The front porch was a place for everyone to sit and relax in the warm sun. She was always very active in many thing like Veterans Auxiliary, making quilts, cooking, sewing, etc., but always had time for the...

...one nearest to my home where I occasionally spend my morning enjoying a breakfast together with a cup of coffee. Outside the shop, you can see the well-known circular sign on the glass window, which is the logo of Starbucks showing an image of a twin-tailed crowned mermaid. The bronze banner on the upper part of the shop features the big capital word “STARBUCKS COFFEE” in green, distinguishing itself from the surrounding shops. As I enter the transparent gate, beneath my feet is a floor made of stone bricks, and squeaky sounds are heard while I walk towards the bar. The baristas are standing in front of me, smiling an amicable smile and welcoming me passionately to the shop. A list of drinks is displayed on the wall behind the bar, ranging from Cappuccino to Frappuccino, Caffe Latte to Caffe Mocha, to name just a few. Besides the cashier are a set of coffee cup samples illustrating different sizes – tall, grande and venti. Apart from the drinks, there are many kinds of fresh food exhibited in the glass shelve layer by layer. You can buy pastries, sandwiches, cakes or muffins alongside your coffee to enjoy a light meal. They have an oven to reheat the food to retain the freshness and warmth of the delicacy. The staff takes my order, hot Cappuccino, tall size. I get my receipt and move on to the next counter to wait for my coffee. Delicious smell of coffee wafts up from the espresso machines. There is also a blackboard on the wall near the beverage menu with a memorable...

...Missouri- Lake of the Ozarks-Lazy Days Resort Waking up at 3 a.m, and it is absolutely worth it. My family and I all piled into the van with suitcases and coolers headed seven and a half hours to the beautiful state of Missouri. Once I knew we were on our way, I found my pillow blanket, and closed my eyes. Seven hours later my body came back to reality as the van flew past a sign that stated “Lake of the Ozarks” next exit. My stomach started to turn with excitement as my face lit up knowing that we were so close. Coming around the last bend to the top of the hill, I moved up in my seat to stare out the window, and there it was. Lazy Day’s resort, the lake, and my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents unpacking their vans. My uncle’s...

...delicious. She always knows what I like and makes me happy by making food for me, especially crème caramel. We are all known that crème caramel originated in Ancient Roman times and it was one of their first recipes to be made with eggs. At first it was not a sweet dish but it was savory one. By the time, people changed the way to make crème caramel better and fit their taste. My sister’s dish is totally different from everyone else. She makes her own recipes and her crème caramel is always good. It’s the best crème caramel in the world that I have ever eaten. My sister loves making this dessert. When she makes crème flan, my stomach is always rumble because I can smell something delicious. I always remember how the lovely caramel perfumed her kitchen; it’s the kind of sweet smell any child would dream about. Watching her make caramel was a treat; it looked like magic, seeing the white sugar turn into a golden brown...

...Title: French Press Coffee Making Specific Purpose: To demonstrate to my audience the significance of making coffee in this certain way. Thesis: To show the audience how easy, inexpensive, and better tasting this coffee is. I. Introduction A. What comes to mind when you see coffee? We think of the taste, the smell, and how it’s going to wake you up and make your day so much better and easier. Coffee goes back as far as the thirteenth century. The original native population of coffee is thought to have come from East Africa and was first cultivated by Arabs from the 14th century. B. I’m sure that all of us at some point have had coffee. Many have drunk it in the morning to get them started on their work or school day and others may drink it throughout the day because it’s the only think that keeps them up and moving. Drinking coffee has become so addictive especially when it comes in many forms be it a latte, espresso, mocha, or a plain Americano. This phenomenon seems to have been caused by the desire of the younger demographic of today to have a place to meet friends and do business as well as people just wanting a place to sit and relax. What a better place to do all this than at your local coffee shop? C. I have always just been making myself the usual basic coffee. Whether it be through the black and decker coffee pot or the Keurig, but this new development that I discovered has become my recent favorite. It’s just so much better tasting. There...

Barry McGuire’s, “Eve of Destruction,” is playing subtly and staticky, from our old stand up Zenith, in the background, while mother twirls around in her apron, cooking our breakfast. My mother loves to cook and listen to music early on Sunday. It is a little easier now that my brother is gone, and off to war. It was so hard to send him off, but now that he has been gone for six months, neither my mother or I, expect to wake-up in the morning, and see him there. Hearing the lyrics to the song on the radio, I can only imagine, what my brother is going through, “You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin', And even the...

...thats true. I wake up this morning to a thin blanket of white covering our front lawn. It isnt even an inch, but in this part of Oregon a slight dusting brings everything to a standstill as the one snowplow in the county gets busy clearing the roads. It is wet water that drops from the skyand drops and drops and dropsnot the frozen kind. It is enough snow to cancel school. My little brother, Teddy, lets out a war whoop when Moms AM radio announces the closures. Snow day! he bellows. Dad, lets go make a snowman. My dad smiles and taps on his pipe. He started smoking one recently as part of this whole 1950s, Father Knows Best retro kick he is on. He also wears bow ties. I am never quite clear on whether all this is sartorial or sardonicDads way of announcing that he used to be a punker but is now a middle-school English teacher, or if becoming a teacher has actually turned my dad into this genuine throwback. But I like the smell of the pipe tobacco. It is sweet and smoky, and reminds me of winters and woodstoves. You can make a valiant try, Dad tells Teddy. But its hardly sticking to the roads. Maybe you should consider a snow amoeba. I can tell Dad is happy. Barely an inch of snow means that all the schools in the county are closed, including my high school and the middle school where Dad works, so its an unexpected day off for him, too. My mother, who works for a travel agent in town, clicks off the radio and pours herself a second cup of coffee. Well, if you...

...actual primary cause was due to a disruption in the third stage, thus termed retrieval failure. Retrieval failure is simply defined as the inability to access information, and the reason behind the ‘tip of the tongue’ phenomenon. My Failed Memory As I walked with my patient into my first school meeting to test my ability as a community liaison, I felt confident. Not only did I wake up early enough to study her chart, background, and write down her effective coping mechanisms; I brewed a fresh cup of coffee, reminiscent of the one I drink each day and night, and arrived on-site just in time to see her arrive. As I sipped my coffee, watched her mothers van park, mouthed the words to a song on my playlist while checking my timing, I felt on top of all my tasks – surely going to impress. Shortly there after, unbeknownst to me, getting my patient out of the van and into the school was much more challenging then I planned for. Employing my verbal de-escalation skills, and helping communication tactics for Mom and daughter, I successfully aided her out of the van and onto school grounds. Leaving my coffee and her mother in the parking lot to stew. Having a good rapport with this particular patient, her mood elevated with the absence of her mother and we were able to joke with each other until we were called into the conference room with her Principal, all three guidance counselors, the security guard, and two of her problematic teachers. Focused on improving her mood for the meeting...

Both of my grandparents were raised in very religious families, they take religion very seriously and do everything by the bible. You can’t change their opinions on anything. I remember about a year ago, I told my grandmother that I was going to save up my money to get a tattoo of a little baby elephant on my shoulder because when I was little she would call me her little elephant and it was in honor of her. My grandmother went ballistic and told me how that would ruin my body and how it was “trashy” and disrespectful. At one point in my life, my father and I lived with my grandparents, and that’s when they really started to push Christianity on...

...poor, they give you a wonderful world which makes you feel happy". It definitely makes her and our neighbors happy. She shares the seeds of her flowers with the neighbors since they love and always compliment her garden. Walking through the front doors of my house after a long day of school always makes me feel so relaxed. There is always a smell of fresh vanilla or brown sugar candles the moment I walk through my white painted door. As I walk up the stairs and I see four bedrooms and a washroom. There is one bedroom for each of us in the family; my parents, brother, sister and myself. I usually go straight to my room when I get home. The walls in my room are painted a nice light green. There’s my bed in the middle of the room, a desk, night table and a closet. I have always wished I had a walk in closet but I'm comfortable with what I have now, this closet does me just fine. I usually lay in my bed until it's time for dinner. Lying down is when I have time to think about what I did during the day, my future, goals and achievements in life. Once everyone gets home from work or school, we all go downstairs for dinner. My sister and mom sets up the dinner table while my dad and brother watch the news. Before starting dinner, my mom always encourages us to say a...
