University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL
Carbon nanofiber (CNF) papers, when incorporated onto the surface of glass fiber reinforced polyester composites, were known to enhance the fire-retarding capability by decreasing the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and slowing down the mass loss. In this experimental study, attempts were made to understand the thermal degradation mechanisms of the composites and nanocomposites. The temperature distribution within the composite substrate should be determined because the degradation rate is related to the temperature. The composite was prepared through vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. Samples of glass-polyester resin composites were investigated. Thermal conductivity data was calculated from embedded thermocouples on the composite for real-time temperature measurement. Mass loss data was collected using thermal gravimetric analysis on resin and CNF paper samples. These results should help to further understand the depth and degree of the degradation and provide an understanding of thermal properties in composites.

hiccups can lick my balls
As you may have been able to tell by the title of this post, the fron tand foremost occupyer of the circle of hate and anger are "the hiccups." I hat ehtme righht now more than anything in the world. Why do they occur? Maybe a scientist could tell me but i would prolly just look him in the face and say "fuck you, how do I make them go away, assface?" He would them prolly get upset and not talk to me at which point i would have to rely onb my own knowledge, which is limited cause I am a music major. I would try to hold my breath, perhaps drink water upside down, but to no avail. I would then swear a life battle against the hiccups, and wind. I fucking hate wind. what is wind good for? Maybe for making cheap energy, but that's about it. Wind tends to always bow in my face when I need to get somewhere fast on my bike, blow continuously whenever it is already below freezing outside. I hate hte wind, but anyways i hate the hiccups. I still have them. they are making me reconsider the bagel I just ate cause I am already full and now feel like throwing up. Fuck. FUCK!!!!!! The hiccups can literally take it in the ass. If I could maybe abolish one thing in the world, it wuld prolly be the hiccups, cause I can deal with the wind in moderation, but the hiccups, never. One of my friends just IM'd me, what should I do? Not reply, that's my answer. So anyone whouo would tell me the hiccups are not so bad can lick my ass and die, you hear me?!??!?!?!?!!?!?? Die. Aight. That's it for now. I hate the hiccups, wind, and appareantly now bagel for the time being. I'm out. I hate interim, but that will prolly be another post. G' G' G', G' G' G' G', G'night folks.

Three Loves Has Nancy is a completely daffy, reasonably entertaining romp by Janet Gaynor, Robert Montgomery, Franchot Tone and a group of familiar supporting players.
Story is one of the trivialities about a semi-conscious smalltown gal who gets stranded in New York and becomes the object of a furious set-to between a flighty author and his hell-raising publisher. On that slender framework have been scribbled all the balmy situations, crackpot gags and slapstick whimsy that six frenzied scripters [story by Lee Loeb and Mort Braus] could concoct.
Director Richard Thorpe and the cast play it with broad relish. As the naive little menace from the sticks, Gaynor gives an admirably straight-faced performance, her intense seriousness contrasting sharply with the wild and woolly clowning of Montgomery and Tone. Latter two, as the author and publisher, respectively, pull all the acting stops.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In this century, predicts Kaufman, scientists will find evidence of life somewhere in the universe. It's an arresting idea, and Kaufman delivers an entertaining look at the science supporting it. Astrobiologists, who study the possible forms that extraterrestrial life may take, are "part Carl Sagan, part Indiana Jones, part Watson and Crick, part CSI," Kaufman notes. Their interdisciplinary work requires interlocking knowledge of physics, astrophysics, biology, chemistry, and planetary geology. Microbes we've found living in extreme habitats once believed to be inhospitable to life—glaciers, geysers, deep mines and caves, and volcanoes— prove that we must expand our ideas about what makes something "alive." So the only reason we haven't found life on other planets or moons before, Kaufman says, is that we haven't known what to look for. Carbon-based life is possible elsewhere, either seeded by meteorites made of organic carbon or created by vibrant lightning-fed chemistry, but extraterrestrial life is more likely to be very different from us. Taking readers from the South Pole to the northernmost tip of Norway, from the world's deepest mines to Mars, Kaufman explores the science that may change the human perspective more than anything that came before. 8 pages of color photos. (Apr.)

"An up-to-the-minute look at the frontiers of the search for life outside Earth… Kaufman provides an invaluable summary of the current state of research into extraterrestrial life. An excellent preview of what may be the next big scientific breakthrough."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"Marc Kaufman traveled to the ends of the Earth to report this fascinating, awe-inspiring, and accessible book. Are we alone in the universe? Almost certainly not. Kaufman leaves the reader with a lucid sense of what we know and where the next wave of discovery will take place."
—Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Ghost Wars
"In First Contact, journalist Marc Kaufman reveals how the extremes of life on Earth illuminate our search for life in the universe. Along the way, Kaufman invokes crisp, clear, and engaging narrative that, at times, leaves you to think you were conducting the research yourself."
—Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysicist, American Museum of Natural History and author of The Pluto Files
"The search for life beyond Earth has now become the big scientific quest of our age. Kaufman skillfully weaves personal narrative and technical exposition to guide the reader through the challenges, both scientific and philosophical, that confront astrobiological researchers. An immensely readable book, infused with the thrill of the chase."
—Paul Davies, author of The Eerie Silence and The Goldilocks Enigma
"Writing with cinematic clarity, Marc Kaufman provides a masterful, gripping tour along the frontiers of the search for extraterrestrial life and shows how this quest is inextricably linked with the struggle to understand life on Earth. As he transports readers from the parboiled netherworld of a South African platinum mine to Earth's coldest, driest extremes, from an Alaskan volcano crackling with energy to microscopic Martian landscapes and ultimately to the ends of the cosmos, Kaufman brings into vivid focus the triumphs and frustrations of scientists as fascinating as the bizarre life forms they study."
—Kathy Sawyer, author of The Rock from Mars
"Marc Kaufman brings to life the broad and increasingly successful effort by scientists to find signs of life beyond Earth. It's an exciting read about a scientific venture that will no doubt surprise and intrigue many people—especially when he takes us to incredibly exotic locations. Space, it seems, is the next frontier not only for exploration, but quite likely for learning about life as well."
—Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors
"Marc Kaufman, a world-class reporter whose writing is clear and clean, is just the right author for First Contact. I found this book as thrilling as it is illuminating, as he takes us around the Earth and off into space in search of the beginnings of life here and probably elsewhere."
—David Maraniss, author of They Marched into Sunlight and When Pride Still Mattered
"Fascinating . . . While genuine alien life, in any form, has yet to reveal itself, Kaufman's tantalizing tour of the research that could achieve this breakthrough makes engrossing reading."
"With a child's curiosity and a reporter's skill, Kaufman delivers a concise, thorough, and utterly fascinating summary of the search for life elsewhere in the universe—and what it means for life on Earth. If you've ever wondered about life beyond Earth, let Marc Kaufman introduce you to the men and women who are searching for it. His explanations will make the night sky seem more vivid and the very life around you seem more improbable and precious."
—Susan West, former executive editor of Smithsonian
"The range of this new field of astrobiology is exhilarating, and even though scientists are still learning how to sort out the hard science from the understandably infectious enthusiasm, getting to ride along with Kaufman is an expansive joy." --The Washington Post

And in "First Contact," Marc Kaufman offers a rich and satisfying discussion of the ambiguity of the Viking lander's results when it ran a suite of tests to look for life in Martian soil. And he makes a fascinating case for the argument that it actually did find life.
Kaufman writes about Gil Levin, the scientist who designed an experiment that scooped up Martian soil, squirted nutrients into it that had been labeled with radioactive carbon-14, and waited to see if gases were emitted that carried that radioactive label.
If labeled gases were emitted, it would suggest that some microbe had eaten the nutrient and emitted a waste product. And in fact, that was exactly what was detected: a surge of radioactive carbon dioxide. As a control, the soil was then baked to high temperatures in an effort to kill off anything that might be living, and then the nutrients were added again. This time, no carbon dioxide appeared. It looked very much like a confirmation. Something in the soil had been alive, now it wasn't.
However, other tests carried on Viking, such as one for organic molecules, were negative. Faced with these conflicting results, a consensus formed that Levin's results had to be from some chemical rather than biological process. But ever since, Levin has been arguing that these other tests were flawed. He's shown that the organic-molecules test couldn't detect the low concentrations that are now known to be capable of supporting life. I'd thought the Viking results were closed, but Kaufman shows that they are very much open. There is a real possibility that Viking found what it was sent to find.
Kaufman also writes about extremophiles, the apparent fossils of bacteria on the Murchison and ALH84001 meterorites, shadow biospheres, and exoplanets. "First Contact" is a fascinating book that goes more deeply into the nitty-gritty science of astrobiology than any other book I've read. This is a fast-emerging field and "First Contact" is an essential introduction to what's going on in labs today.
It reminds me of newspaper articles about complex subjects that begin with an anecdote, like an article on the national unemployment rate that begins with a paragraph on some random guy in the heartland looking for work. If you like those personal anecdotes you'll probably like the style of this book. If you think those anecdotes are spongy filler and are impatient to get to the substance of an article then his newspaper style of writing might wear on you.
It's not a bad book, if you didn't know anything about astrobiology it would be a decent introduction to the subject, but I've read much better science books by other authors who also weren't scientists. I'd suggest waiting for the paperback.

Communications collaboration between European Research Infrastructures
DARIAH is a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) for the Arts and Humanities. As such it it is being build by researchers, but most importantly for researchers. Consequently dissemination of DARIAH's results, and thus making them available for researchers, as well as getting potential new users involved, have to complement the building and organising of DARIAH's core services and activities.
In that light, a collaboration in terms of communications with the current four ERICs in the SSH (CLARIN, DARIAH, ESS, SHARE), as well as the ESFRI Landmark CESSDA, was established in order to create synergies and draw on each others' strengths. In addition, PARTHENOS, which supports the work of CLARIN and DARIAH, as well as CLARIAH, a national counterpart to CLARIN and DARIAH in the Netherlands, which is directly and deeply embedded in the Europe-wide ESFRI enterprise, were brought on board as an important part of this initiative.
Communications staff from each of the above mentioned ERICs, as well as from CLARIAH and PARTHENOS, have started working together on a draft plan for joint communication activities and have regular virtual meetings. Shared news stories as well as a dedicated Twitter list became available from January 2017 as well as an informative webpage about those involved in the collaboration, with other elements of the plan to come to life during the course of the coming months and years.

Please welcome author Tilly Slaton. Tilly is sharing an excerpt from her hot new romance Unleashed Desire, but first I'm putting her on the hot seat.
Q: Hi Tilly. Tell us a little about your writing qualifications?
A: I was once a lonely housewife with entirely too much time to fantasize about all of the delicious and unfulfilled desires. Need I say more?
Q: What genre do you prefer to write?
A: I write mostly erotica that focuses on actual relationship progression with a decent dose of romance. My books range from paranormal romance to BDSM erotica to sappy poetry to zombie mutation!
Q: What do you do when you are not writing?
A: When I am not writing, I am either reading, spending time with my friends or my beautiful daughter. Ok, I occasionally relish the amazing midday nap. What can I say? Dreams inspire me.
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: I am not quite sure. I haven't quite grasped the concept of growing up. I'll let you know when I get there.
Q: How did you get to where you are?
A: It has taken me a lot of hard work, an abundance of heartache and a dab of patience.
Q: Are you a cat or dog person?
A: I have a gorgeous cat named Pumpkin Face Kitty Cat. She perches on the back of my chair when I write and cheers me on with purrs.
Q: What are your pet peeves?
A: Just a few pet peeves are: people who speed in school zones, people who invade my personal space, and inconsistent liars.
Q: What is your favorite television show?
A: My all-time favorite television show is Criminal Minds. I have recently become slightly enamored with Perception as well.
Q: How do you come up with your erotica scenes?
A: I think about my fantasies and what would turn me on and go from there. When you have to walk away fanning your face and take a break from writing an erotic scene, you know you've nailed it!
Q: Are you currently in an intimate relationship?
A: Yes, I am. The man makes my cheeks sore from smiling, my throat hurt from laughing, and I've never felt more beautiful or more loved than I do at this moment.

[Siren Allure: Erotic Consensual BDSM Romance, with M/F/M, F/F/M and F/F including heroine, M/M not involving hero, public exhibition, voyeurism, spanking, paddling, whipping, sex toys, HFN]
Madison Strauss is frustrated and feels hopeless. The unfulfilled intimacy in her past relationships is disheartening, and she has vowed to never again settle for a man who is incapable of seeing through her wants so that he can devour her needs.
Dorian Storm, a luscious, dominant male, continues hosting parties at his home for friends who crave to be true to their own longings. Dorian is a real catch, although he is quite evasive. He remains utterly single as he continues his search for the woman who will complement his dark needs and desires.
Thrown into a world of dominance and submission, Madison must trust a dominant, an extremely sexual stranger who strives to consume her body and mind. Madison and her friends receive a taunting invitation to experience a small teasing taste of what Dorian's world has to offer—the chance to explore and seek out fulfillment for even the most profound desires.
Their bodies stopped swaying. Taking a deep breath and swallowing the fear that threatened to ruin this totally rocking awesome moment, Madison turned around to face him. Oh, lovely. She felt the typical deer-caught-in-headlights sensation. Seconds ticked by with each breath and heartbeat. What the hell were they doing? Strangers. Strangers making each other feel such heat for each other. With every touch, the lust rippled like lightning through their bodies.
Say something. You want her. She most definitely wants you. He could smell her arousal, and wanted to taste her. Say something. Allowing a most sincere and beaming grin to grace his face, he smiled at her. No words were needed to explain what had just happened between them.
"Five minutes until last call!" he heard the DJ announce.
Well, this was it. The moment of truth. "I must see you again." Dorian held his breath. Was he nervous? When was the last time he had felt this flustered? It was unusual for him to feel insecure with himself. He felt unsure of where he stood, though usually he could read exactly what a woman wanted. Pay close attention to her eyes, to her breathing and you can easily know how her body is responding to you. The way her body responded to his attentions, and whether or not her fingers were clenched or relaxed were excellent tells. Any man of worth could please his woman if only he would pay attention to her.
Biting her lower lip harder than usual, she needed to focus. "Umm, yes, I would love to see you again," Madison forced herself to blurt out before she lost the words, the ability to even speak. Her entire body flushed. Not a single part of her body was free of the tingling ache that his touches left. No other man had ever left her feeling so flustered, so crazed with need. She did not want this moment to end. She dreaded the evening ahead and wished it would end sooner rather than later. Now Proteus was closing, and there did not seem to be enough time for the delicious man before her.
She breathed in again, her nose pulling in his scent. All male. His strength, his aura surrounded her, wrapping her into his web of seduction. Who was she kidding? She was done for. He could ravish her right now and she wasn't sure if she could say no.
"My sister is hosting a party tomorrow evening. I would be honored if you would join us."
Oh shit. She needed to be near him again. How could she even say no when her body cried out yes? Already fantasizing about tomorrow evening, it didn't occur to her that she had not yet responded.
"I also extend my invitation to your two friends. If it would help alleviate any nervousness, please, by all means, allow them to accompany you."
Madison turned in the direction that Dorian was looking. Both Danny and Elise were gawking at her. Raising her hand to offer a wave, she smiled softly before returning her gaze to Dorian.
"I'd love to. I'm sure they would feel more comfortable tagging along as well. I doubt I could dissuade them."
Capturing her mouth with his, he sucked on her lips, nibbling and biting down hard enough to entice a surprised moan before running his tongue over her lips to soothe the sweet, stinging pain into pleasure. Dorian was anxious to taste her, to explore her warm, velvety mouth. "Open your mouth for me," he whispered, his lips barely gliding against hers in a sweet temptation.
No hesitation. No second-guessing herself. She did as he asked and opened for him. He took advantage of her mouth immediately. Dorian sucked her breath into his body as his tongue darted into her mouth. Forcing her acceptance and gliding his tongue over hers, he tasted her. The little sounds she made for him were exquisite. Exploring her mouth more, he pulled her body tightly against his.
The world melted away. The kiss was fierce and demanding.
"Last call!" The final announcement jolted them back to reality.
They were breathing heavily and panting, and their lips were still touching. He sucked her lower lip into his mouth and bit down gently, causing her to moan. With an arrogant grin, he straightened his body. His bulge beckoned her, pressing against her stomach. She could feel his arousal and the thought of what was to come rushed through her veins in anticipation.
Taking her hand in his, he led them through the crowd toward the bar, to the friends that waited ever so eagerly for her return. She was his. He would have her. Feeling sorry for any person who tried to interfere with their relationship, he knew that he needed to claim her as his own, to mark her and warn other males away from this woman. He held his chin up with composure, more composure than he felt, and walked beside her, their bodies brushing against each other with every step.
Nathaniel probed ever so gently at first, pressing his slick thumb into Stephen's tight ass. He was large. Not as large as Stephen, but large enough to take special care in preparing him for his intrusion. Pushing another finger into his ass, he circled them around, slowly stretching the canal. Nathaniel poured more lubricant on his fingers before pushing them inside again. Satisfied with the preparations, he opened a package and rolled the condom over his pulsing shaft, which eagerly pointed to the ceiling.
Her lips clenched together tightly as she watched the tip of Nathaniel's cock press against Stephen's ass. Nathaniel teased him, pushing just the head inside of his tight ass before pulling out. Stephen's eyes glazed over as raw lust consumed him. As the rock-hard shaft continued deeper into his canal, he forced himself to sigh with content, allowing his muscles to relax in preparation to make love to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel was a considerate lover. He took Stephen slowly, rolling his penis around inside of Stephen to allow him time to stretch a bit more.
Nathaniel pulled himself almost all the way out until just the tip of the head of his cock rested inside of Stephen, who whimpered in desperation. He tried to force himself backward, to impale himself on the cock he worshipped, adored. But Nathaniel held his hips still, refusing to allow Stephen to control their lovemaking.
Hot, sweaty hands glided over his body, forcing Stephen to drop his head in a submissive response, a wonderful response that clearly showed how much he loved and trusted the man inside of him.
Without warning, Nathaniel thrust forward, digging into Stephen's hips and pulling him roughly against him so that he could feel his balls touching his ass so that every inch of him was covered in hard muscles that throbbed and squeezed around his cock. Thirty seconds passed. Sixty seconds.The time he paused to allow Stephen to accept the intrusion, to give Stephen a moment to catch his breath was almost more than he could bear. The feel of skin, of his ass pressing against him was his undoing.
His fingers caressed Stephen's waist in a sweet, loving manner as he leaned forward and placed a hungry kiss onto his back.
"I have a treat for you, my love." He thrust once more into Stephen, unable to keep temptation at bay.
He looked up at Dorian and waited impatiently. He wanted his lover, wanted to pound into him. His mind was floating with sensations of lust, arousal, and satisfaction.
As Dorian turned to Madison, she was so focused on the men on the floor before her that she didn't realize he was even looking at her. He reached to touch her face, his fingers softly gripping her chin and turning her to face him. She licked her lips and held her breath.
"I know you want him. Let him have you. You have my permission this once to explore the desires you are trying to ignore. It is your choice, my darling Madison. If you choose to allow Stephen to pleasure you, join them on the floor and experience the desires raging in your veins."
She leaned forward, her lips taking his, demanding, showing him how much she needed him, how much his understanding meant to her.
"Lift your arms." Dorian's sensual voice taunted her, demanded her attention.
Madison raised her arms above her head and waited patiently for her lover to give her the next instruction.
Dorian touched her skin softly, rubbing his fingers over her thighs before gripping the hem of her dress and pulling it over her head. He reached for her hands and pulled them to his mouth. The look in Dorian's eye was excruciatingly sexy as he brought her knuckles to his lips for a tender kiss.
Madison slid from the couch and held her breath as she crawled forward until only inches separated her body from the man that had haunted her dreams.
Stephen made no move whatsoever. He was shocked at the chance to be with the woman who intrigued him beyond measure.
"Sit in front of Stephen and scoot your sweet little ass forward with your knees bent."
Glancing back to Dorian, he nodded his approval and that was all she needed.
She did as Nathaniel instructed. Her breasts so close to Stephen's mouth that she could feel his hot breath caressing her sensitive skin that tingled and burned as the material of her dress slid over her nipples with every breath. He leaned forward. His tongue darted out as he licked her hard, perky nipple.
Her breath hitched as she was so happy and thrilled that they shared this moment together.
"Stephen, help her lie back onto the floor. Keep her wet pussy within reach of your mouth. I'm going to fuck you six ways from Friday, and as I do, I want you to drink her honey juices and bring her to orgasm. Until she screams with release, I will refuse yours. Do you understand?"
"I most definitely understand, Nathaniel."
His hands glided over her ribs until they slid underneath her breasts, holding them up for his eyes to devour. One hand went to her back and helped lower her slowly to the floor. Her body was open for the room to see. Her legs spread, her pussy wide and dripping with her arousal. Stephen could smell her and knew she wanted him as much as he wanted her.
Eyes taking in the beauty before him, Stephen was thrust forward as Nathaniel began to pound mercilessly into his ass. Sliding his hand around her hips and underneath her ass, he lifted her easily. Bringing her soaked pussy to his mouth, he inhaled her sweet smell. Unable to control himself, closing his eyes as he felt his Nathaniel brutally making love to him, he dove into her and licked her from her anus to her pussy.

The Buckle Up and the Jean Machine lay at the bottom of Cozumel`s popular Club Nautico marina, their shattered hulls visible in the clear water.
A few yards beyond the marina`s concrete pier, the club, a haven for deep- sea fishermen and charter-boat captains, was a shambles. Two days before, Hurricane Gilbert had blown out its windows. On Friday, silt was baking on its walls in the blazing Mexican sunlight while stagnant sea water stood in pools on its floors.
Standing on the pier, watching divers prowl around the sunken boats, Rafael Aguirre seemed oblivious to the destruction and havoc surrounding him.
``This is really nothing,`` said Aguirre, the editor of Cozumel Today and El Tiempo de Cozumel. He waved his hand in an arc that took in roughly the entire island. ``Within a month, two months at most, all this will be back to normal. You come back then, you`ll see.``
At about the same time, Jamaican Prime Minister Edward Seaga was saying that Gilbert caused about $8 billion in damage but left the country`s $600 million-a-year tourism industry ``in reasonably good shape.``
Fearing a wholesale collapse of their vital tourism industries, government officials and businessmen in stricken Caribbean resorts have spent anxious days downplaying Gilbert`s devastation.
In Cozumel, community leaders steadfastly maintained -- although the island had no electricity or water and its food supplies were dwindling -- that storm damage was minimal.
On Friday, as he drove around downed power lines lying across the island`s roads, Aguirre was optimistic.
``The cleanup is well underway,`` he said, pointing to work crews shoveling beach sand from highways. ``This will all be back to normal soon. The government is sending people here to fix the power and the sanitation services. By December things will be completely back to normal.``

A Hallandale legislator has asked Attorney General Bob Butterworth whether gambling on the Internet, by telephone and on small casino day-cruise ships can be banned.
But state Rep. Steve Geller conceded that Butterworth may not be able to act. Federal law may supersede any state efforts to ban such activities.
"I want to know how much the state can do and if we will do it," said Geller, the Democratic chairman of the House Committee on Regulated Industries.
Geller said that Floridians are pouring money into these new forms of gaming, but the state is getting nothing. "They could give Florida all the problems of casino gambling, like people spending too much and getting in over their heads, but none of the benefits," Geller said.
Geller said he acted to protect the pari-mutuel industry, which includes four thoroughbred, 18 greyhound, one harness and one quarter horse tracks, along with seven jai-alai frontons. The industry has an economic impact in jobs and purchases of at least $10 billion a year, said Geller, who has Gulfstream Race Track and the Hollywood Greyhound Track in his district.
Industry representatives testified in Tallahassee last month that these new forms of gambling were taking money from them and threatening their existence. In a letter to Butterworth this week, Geller asked:
-- Can Florida residents be prohibited from betting in the Internet "virtual casino" - which will offer blackjack and other games - planned by some businessmen on the Caribbean island of Antigua?
"One problem is how do we know these Internet games are honest?" Geller said.
-- Can Florida residents be prevented from placing telephone bets on sporting events, out-of-state races and jai-alai games? Connecticut, New York and Nevada allow such betting by out-of-state residents.

Whatever I was doing the rest of those days, I can't write about because it's way too much and would eventually turn out lengthy and boring but to continue with my post,
I take on average 4hrs going to and fro work using the bus. Using the subway would increase the trip by another two hours. Yes It's that far and no matter what magic, I always have to use at least two buses. It's so hectic that I wanted to quit the first week I'd started work but seeing my internship ends in Feb, I decided to persevere with hope of getting used to the distance.
Of late, the trip has become more treacherous. With the temperatures in negatives, It's not funky waiting for the bus. With the current rate I spend a minimum of $20/ week for fare, the recent plans for a price increase have me on my knees for a disaster in these plans. You see, there are no these things of secretly signaling to the conductor in case you are hard up, wait there is even no conductor just some mean metallic thing that chews up your quarters without any remorse. I suddenly miss those taxi touts that would make your day calling you boss and escort you to your ride like some VIP, not forgetting the driver who'll go through hell to beat the Jam and get where you want.
These bus things are just not nice. They are not as plentiful as the kla kamunye's and If you miss one bus, be sure of a long wait for the next one. They are so mean and won't pick or let you off at any point unless it's the designated bus stop. The kamunye driver will pick you at any point of the road and even leave you at the kasasiro as requested all you have to do is say the magic words.
Am still to get used to this commuting system. One culture in particular is the bus-subway reading club which given my bus hours, I've not yet subscribed to..I just don't see myself drawing out a book and then reading away like my life depended on the contents -Tht's what those book worm people do and they are not a lively bunch.
So the bus rides leaves me nothing to do except to sometimes node away to my zicky and eavesdrop on the neighbors. The stories in the bus are too hilarious and some shocking. Some people are just not bothered about washing their dirty stuff in public, but I'll stick to the rule, what happens in the bus stays in the bus otherwise these would have been a renewable source of k.b and gossip to keep bullocks at bay.
A great place to also make plans and think about random stuff is yes the bus. Trust there is no other place I can get chance to reflect and think about how my stuff is flowing, which move I should make or what my next post should be about. I've created thousands of fantasies and posts during the journeys but like they say good things don't last, they all evaporate away when I step out of the bus into the cruel, bitter cold.
Masoawo!! Oh crap! all the stares from other passengers make me feel like some kind of nut job. Thinking about Kamunye's must h've made me forget to instead push the stop request button, but am not the only one at this stop and I quickly jump off to rush home before the stares kill me.

When I ask folks to name which salespeople they believe use the hardest sales tactics, I hear the usual suspects. Almost without exception, car salesmen are mentioned the most.
I then suggest that there is a sales group that is more hard core than car salesmen. These are people with whom you'll avoid eye contact. When you see them, you'll wait until they are distracted and then try to sneak by them. You'll even pretend you're not home when they ring your doorbell. No car dealer ever knocked on your door on a Saturday morning!
I'm talking about Girl Scouts. When groups inevitably chuckle at that statement, I ask them the following: How many of you have pretended you weren't home when you saw Girl Scouts walking up to your door? How many have ever told the fib that you had already bought cookies from a neighbor? How many have done everything possible to sneak by their tables when they set up outside of your grocery store?
With each question, the laughs and hand-raising tend to increase. I then point out that I'm obviously not disparaging Girl Scouts. I think that Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are two of the greatest organizations in our country. My point is that the perception of a nonstop sales focus can make people hide from, and even lie to, nice little girls.
I originally began using that analogy while speaking to in-store bankers. Part of the standard operating procedures for most of them involves getting out into their stores to speak with customers. And while face-to-face access to thousands of potential customers each week is a unique and incredibly valuable asset, it can be wasted. In fact, with the wrong approach, these in-store interactions can do more harm than good.
Simply, if the only time a store customer ever sees branch employees away from the branches is when they have sales pitches to make, customers begin giving them the Girl Scout treatment. They'll do whatever they can — including practically running away — to keep from being "sold" to that day.
And this phenomenon isn't limited to bankers walking the aisles of a grocery store. I've long had issues with "traditional" branch managers requiring customer-facing employees to make a cross-sell or up-sell pitch, regardless of the situation, with every transaction.
You can call yourself a banker, financial adviser, relationship manager … whatever. It doesn't matter. In the eyes of the recipients of those pitches, you're a pushy salesperson.
When folks bristle at the idea of being called pushy, I point back to the Girl Scouts example. Pushy doesn't have to mean rude or won't-take-no-for-an-answer. You can have a nice smile and friendly demeanor and still be perceived as a pushy salesperson.
And when customers are asked whom they consider trusted advisers, salespeople aren't high on their lists.
I frequently ask front-line folks and managers to contemplate the following. Over the course of a day, which will you hear more: Customers saying "Thanks" or customers saying "No, thanks"?
While that sounds like a trivial point to some, I'd suggest that it tells you plenty about where a branch's focus is.
When we are creating interactions that prompt customers to actually say "Thank you," we're typically making personal gestures, providing information, offering extra assistance or maybe just offering trinkets that benefit them. Our focus is on making them glad that they chose to interact with us in person today.
When we do these things, we build environments that give customers practice in saying things like "Thank you" and "Yes." But when we (often unwittingly) force folks to constantly rebuff us with "Nos" or nice-sounding lies, they become quite practiced and proficient at doing just that.
What gestures will your teams make this month to give customers plenty of practice in saying "Thanks" and "Yes"?

1 cup; plus 1 tbsp warm water (105-115 degrees)
3 cups bread flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter, softened
(use for topping after baking)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/2 tsp garlic salt
Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the warm water in a small bowl or measuring cup and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy on top.
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Use the paddle attachment on your stand mixer to mix in the softened butter to the flour. Don't worry if it still looks like flour, you just don't want to see lumps of butter.
Switch to your dough hook and add your foamy yeast mixture to the flour. Combine ingredients and then knead for 10 minutes.
Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover, let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, it will double in size.
Once doubled, measure out portions to roll into bread sticks. The easiest way to roll is between your palms but you can also roll on the counter or a cutting board. Place dough on a parchment lined baking sheet, or pam sprayed baking sheet.
Once all dough is rolled, cover baking sheet and let rise for another hour to 1 1/2 hours. Until the dough doubles in size again.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the bread sticks for 12-14 minutes till golden brown. Remove from oven and add the garlic salt to the melted butter and then brush it over the bread sticks.
Makes 12-13 bread sticks.
