Locations of the various fronts in the Southern OceanEntry ID: southern_ocean_fronts
Abstract: This information is gathered from the paper by Alejandro H. Orsi, Thomas Whitworth III, and Worth D. Nowlin Jr (1995) (see below for full reference).
This is a line dataset stored in the Geographical Information System (GIS). The fronts were derived as part of the analysis done in the lead up to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).
Hydrographic observations were used in this study of ... the Southern Ocean to improve our knowledge of large-scale aspects of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The flow associated with this current appears in the dynamic topography of the upper kilometre of water (50/1000 db), as a zonal band with continuous contours through the Drake Passage. This ACC band shows relatively large geostrophic shear, when compared with the adjacent cicrulations in the subtropical and subpolar regimes. However, the flow is similarly sheared in the southern limbs of the subtropical gyres, particularly near the western boundary of each ocean basin, making differentiation of the ACC and subtropical regimes difficult based on shear alone. The Subtropical Front (STF) is considered the northern limit of the Subantarctic Surface Waters (SSW).
Following Deacon's original definition of the Subtropical Convergence, the STF is delineated by means of property maps at a near-surface level (100m). There is a narrow transition between warm and saline surface waters of the subtropical regime and colder and fresher subantarctic waters. Although many stations have been added since Deacon prepared his maps, this band is found to closely follow this position of the Subtropical Convergence (now referred to as Front). Closely-spaced stations along the Greenwich Meridian reveal a sharp termination to the poleward extent of Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) characteristics, which coincides with a frontal feature that separates the ACC from the Weddell Gyre. Property maps on a density surface characterising the UCDW core within the ACC show a clear transitional band around Antarctica, across which the selected isopycnal shoals to within 200 m of the surface. South of this band, the characteristic signal of the UCDW is no longer discernable; most of this water mass has been entrained into the surface mixed layer and its identifying isopycnal lies within Antarctic Surface Water. Examination of numerous transects through this transition allowed us to trace the southern limit of UCDW characteristics. Its location is in good agreement with the observed change in geostrophic shear between the ACC and the subpolar circulations. This water mass boundary is suggested as a useful definition of the southern boundary of the ACC. Recent high-qualty transects of the ACC at Drake Passage average 97 Sv (1 Sv = 10,000,000 cubic metres per second) of eastward baroclinic transport above 3000 m. In the open ocean far from Drake Passage, more consistent estimates of the current's baroclinic transport result naturally from the present definition of its southern boundary. A geostrophic transport function map for the Southern Ocean reveals that roughly 100 Sv are transported to the east above 3000 m at all longitudes within the proposed meridional boundaries of the circumpolar regime. The characteristic frontal structure between the meridional bounds of the ACC was examined. Previous observations have shown three deep-reaching fronts at both the Drake Passage and Greenwich Meridian. These ACC fronts appear as maxima in geostrophic transport and show distinct property characteristics at both locations. Examination of water mass properties (tracers) and volume transport estimates reveal three fronts on all synoptic sections across the ACC. The name southern ACC front is proposed here for the third, southernmost of these circumpolar current cores. Based on examination of property changes and zonal shear transports from all meridional sections, presented here, for the first time, are circumpolar paths for the Subantarctic front (SAF), Polar Front (PF) and the southern ACC front. As portrayed by zonally-averaged theta-S relations for waters above Lower Circumpolar Deep Water (LCDW), the fronts separate distinctly different water mass regimes. Zonally-averaged characteristic curves also show the northward spread and mixing along isopycnals of surface waters across the southern ACC front, which contribute to the subsurface temperature minimum layer of the Antarctic Zone. A similar influence is also implied across the Polar Front.
In the average, the characteristic temperature minimum of the Antarctic Surface Water becomes saltier and colder to the south of the Polar Front. It is the saltiest in the subpolar region, suggesting the progressive entrainment of UCDW from the ACC into the mixed layer of the subpolar regime. This identification of the major large-scale features of the ACC is expected to benefit future descriptive studies and numerical simulations. In particular, all three deep-reaching fronts of the ACC should be included in quantitative analyses and models of this current. The present delineation of its southern end may aid also in estimating and understanding property exchanges between the ACC and the subpolar regime.

The original functions were based on those mentioned in CSS Media Queries, specifically to provide a migration path from CSSMQ to the more flexible DISelect. They even borrow the CSSMQ names. We call these the starter set. But, of course, the community is encouraged to consider extending them to access additional properties, not just those described in DCI. One could even envisage a generic property accessor (though a lot more thinking would need to go into that idea before we could recommend it). The set of properties to be proposed as an initial vocabulary in the DDWG's DDR would be a good start, when the time comes. ---Rotan. -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of José Manuel Cantera Fonseca Sent: 18 October 2006 15:57 To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: XPATH access functions Dear all, My understanding of the access functions is that they are only wrappers to the delivery context properties that in a more generic way can be accesed using the DCI API.

Losing an adventure buddy. Farewell little Axel Charrette.
I've had writers block before, but nothing like this.
I've mentioned Jen on this blog before. I've never physically met her, but from the moment I started following her blog I knew she was someone I'd love to be neighbors with. I had to be content to just follow her blog periodically, keep tabs on her families biking adventures, and occasionally shoot her an email when I needed biking advice.
Jen and her family have been living, playing, and working in Mexico for the last few months. They've been having fabulous adventures with their kids. Biking, surfing, relaxing and enjoying being together.
All this came to a screeching halt two weeks ago. Her youngest boy is gone. Forever. And I feel like I've lost one of my own. The online world is a weird one. Strange how you can let yourself be so vested in the life of someone else. What do you say to a Mom who's lost their child? I could hardly bring myself to speak the news out loud to my husband.
Jen, Randy, and Kalden, my heart aches for you. It aches for Axel. It aches for the life that won't be lived. It aches for the horror that exists in our world. I know that the way I feel is 0.000001% of how Axel's family feels right now, and that makes my heart ache even more. And it is desperately looking for solace somewhere. I find it by hanging onto the conviction that there is more happiness, and peace, and love in this world than hatred and grief.
Today is Axels memorial service, so in memory of him, let's make the world a more delightful place today. Hug a child a little longer. Take a moment for rapture, and be grateful for those things that bring joy to your world. Do something to make this world a better place.
And if you can, donate to the Axel Charrette Fund–in memory of this little boy, and to counteract a little of the loathsome events of the last two weeks. The money will be used to offset funeral costs, and all extra will go towards helping more kids get out on bikes. They want to be able to share his passion with others in his memory.
To donate, write a check to the Axel Charrette Fund, and send it to: The Axel Charrette Fund, c/o Alpine Bank, 119 Liddell Drive, Ridgway, CO 81432.
Jen's also been nominated as one of the Top 25 Outdoorsy Moms and Circle of Moms. I know that winning this award is probably pretty low on her list of priorities right now. But I also can't think of anyone more deserving. You can vote for Jen everyday, so if you get the chance, do it.
Let's send Jen and her family all the love we can.

Just a quick note. A LOT of "prepping" sites are saying part of your Ebola kit (or more rightly named, you Pandemic Kit) is the N-95 mask. Well, NIOSH has changed the rules determining the makeup of the N-95, which has rendered most of them sub-standard. But more than that, the characteristics of the N-95 are NOT OPTIMAL.
There is a better mask commonly available, though a touch pricier. The P-100. P rated masks will handle dry dust-borne contaminants, but they will also handle oils /liquids. Think sneezes and coughs and you'll get the picture.
Stock P-100 ONLY, and you cover the widest range of particulate contaminants.
P-100 folks.
More on kits to follow…. Gotta run and earn my keep.

66 Neontastic Fashions
More Stats +/-
The neon craze might be over (or for some, finally dwindling), but that doesn't mean you can't pepper some flavorful, vibrant color into your wardrobe. Winter months make it easy to dress in drab garb, it seems to inspire the goth in all of us. So brighten your world with some of these neontastic fashions. I don't recommend entire outfits of neon, but feel encouraged to hoist that fluorescent flag.

September 18th 2014, estheticians from across the state gathered in Golden Colorado to celebrate the Grand Opening of Rhonda Ra Allison Skin Care training and education facility. The exclusive event gave a chance for skin care professionals to meet, exchange ideas and tour the new spacious training facility with a beautiful view of the Colorado Mountains. A festive ribbon cutting ceremony took place while attendees enjoyed some champagne, appetizers, infused waters, door and raffle prizes.
The main highlight of the event however was meeting in person Rhonda Ra Allison and a chance to share in the success of her 30 years of personal contributions to the skin care industry. Today, Rhonda shares along with her sales team, the knowledge she has gathered and collected over the years to assist new and established skin care professionals. Colorado has been one of the states forging new paths for skin care companies competing along side other popular areas such as New York, California and Atlanta Georgia. It was also great to learn about how new ingredients that work with synergy to improve most skin care concerns.
At the new Colorado education and training facility many estheticians got a chance to learn about many new innovative methods that deliver results for the consumer. Among the local attendees were Terri from Colorado Springs, Oxana in Tamarac and others from metro Denver, who gathered in small groups after the main event to share information, experiences and success stories. Some discussions included new menu ideas for the fall and holiday season. One of the favorites included the Pumpkin cleanser and facial for fall season.
Competition means to strive together and thanks to competitive markets, the consumers are the ones that benefit the most. Skin care professionals often seek new knowledge to better serve their clients and keep up with research and product development. And it is the skin care professionals that are dedicated to their profession who often find the most effective and cutting edge products. Rhonda Ra Allison has provided local professionals the opportunity to learn more, and provide hands on training at the education facility. Skin care professionals in Colorado are very grateful and enjoy the many new contributions to the skin care field by Rhonda and her sales teams. The training facility is located at 523 Point Drive in Golden. For more information about the products and innovative treatments contact your favorite skin care professional.

Sprint adding $10 fee to all new smartphone contracts
January 18, 2011 | by Andrew Kameka
HTC EVO 4G and Samsung Epic 4G users have been complaining about having to pay a $10 "Premium Data" surcharge every month because their smartphones consume so much data. Or rather because their phones have the perceived likelihood to consume so much data.
Good news, 4G users: you'll no longer be charged more for owning 4G-capable phones! No, Sprint isn't rescinding the fee; Sprint is just applying it to every new customer. Beginning January 30, all smartphone activations on Sprint will require a $10 monthly Premium Data add-on. This fee will apply to every smartphone rather just the 4G capable phones that have been hit with the required additional cost.
Sprint says that this change is necessary to maintain its "affordable unlimited plans" and still keep up with the growing demand of mobile phones. Rather than continue the charade of "premium data" on the EVO 4G and Epic 4G (my opinion, of course), Sprint has decided to institute a portfolio-wide fee on all smartphone users.
"While some of our competitors impose overage charges and complex plans, Sprint continues to provide a worry-free, unlimited data experience while on the Sprint network," said Bob H. Johnson, president of Sprint's consumer business. "This is responsible, sustainable and reflects our commitment to simplicity and value."

What a gorgeous weekend! I got into some activism, baking and just being around awesome people. Perfection. Except for the sick dog.
This was my very important message that I left on the Post-It board they had on Yonge Street. I hope they left it up!
We took Luna to the vet (who she hates) because she was cough. Kennel cough! Oh joy. This are all the pills we were given. Luckily, she's pretty good with taking her pills.
Saturday evening I went to a showing of Maximum Tolerated Dose, a film made by Toronto AR activists. It was my first time seeing it and I was very moved. Yes, I cried. The talks by Dr. Lauren Corman and Italian activist Tino Verducci were both wonderful and got a fire started under me.
After the film, my friend Lauren took me to Pizzeria Libretto on Ossington. We both got the marinara pizza (which is already vegan) and added mushrooms. It was really good!
Lauren works for Chocosol and she gave me all of this yummy chocolate! All she got was a stickin peaches & cream tart I made.
On Sunday I join roughly 35 activists at the University of Toronto to hold a funeral for all of the animals used there for experiments. This was part of the Open The Cages Tour. Again I was very moved and cried while thinking about all they go through. There's no excuse for animal abuse. Ever.

by Chris Banescu –
My fellow Americans, the "subtle language of racism" you've been hiding inside your peanut butter and jelly sandwiches has been exposed. Your biased and ethnocentric eating habits are oppressing minorities. The very mention of the words "peanut butter and jelly sandwich" connote "white privilege." Such intolerant and racist behavior will not be tolerated. Shame on you!
The Portland Tribune reports that Verenice Gutierrez, principal of Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland, has discovered this racist travesty destroying the very fabric of our society. The "seemingly innocent" peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a cleverly disguised capitalist tool used to promote racism.
Verenice Gutierrez picks up on the subtle language of racism every day.
Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year.
"What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?" says Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, a diverse school of 500 students in Northeast Portland's Cully neighborhood.
"Another way would be to say: 'Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?' Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita."
Gutierrez is leading the charge to eliminate this injustice. The brainwashing re-education campaign to stamp out this intolerant behavior is in full swing. Through her "Courageous Conversation" initiatives all those guilty of "white privilege" behavior are being re-educated to acknowledge their racist conduct and re-sensitized to use only politically correct speech and follow a multicultural and diverse diet.
Guitierrez, along with all of Portland Public Schools' principals, will start the new school year off this week by drilling in on the language of "Courageous Conversations," the district-wide equity training being implemented in every building in phases during the past few years.
Through intensive staff trainings, frequent staff meetings, classroom observations and other initiatives, the premise is that if educators can understand their own "white privilege," then they can change their teaching practices to boost minority students' performance.
Last Wednesday, the first day of the school year for staff, for example, the first item of business for teachers at Scott School was to have a Courageous Conversation — to examine a news article and discuss the "white privilege" it conveys.
Insanity is spreading in public education and across many of our institutions. Orwell's fictional nightmares are rapidly becoming our realities.

Last year, Tennessee Titans General Manager Jon Robinson was a member of a Tampa Bay Buccaneers' front office that was faced with a difficult decision with the first overall pick in the 2015 Draft. Do they select Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota? The Buccaneers ultimately took Winston, but Robinson told The Jim Rome Show on Tuesday that there wasn't much separation between the two quarterbacks.
"You notice good football players on the road when you're scouting, and he was a guy that had a quiet confidence about him that distributed the football well, that had a unique balance of arm talent and athleticism and just thought he was going to be a really good football player," Robinson said. "I mean it was a tough decision in Tampa for us last year. I was heavily involved in that process, and it really wasn't a 1-2, it was more of a 1a – 1b, where we really couldn't go wrong with either player."
Robinson says he was impressed with Mariota's first year in the league, as he got a firsthand look at the rookie when Tennessee traveled to Tampa Bay for the season opener. "I know we opened up with those guys last year and he torched us down in Tampa, I mean he ripped us apart pretty good," Robinson said.
This season, with Robinson running the show in Tennessee, the organization decided against using their #1 overall draft pick and instead traded the pick to the Los Angeles Rams.
"I think we were all in agreement that we are more than one player away here with the Titans," Robinson said. "And the ability to pick up six players in the top 76 picks and an extra first round pick next year, and an extra third round pick next year, those were going to be key building blocks for this franchise," Robinson said. "And to be able to infuse young talent into this roster, that was more important than one white knight riding in on a horse with the first overall pick."
With the Titans' first four picks, the team took an offensive tackle, a defensive end, a defensive tackle, and a power running back in Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry, because Robinson is looking to build a new identity for his team.
"This football team is going to be a tough, accountable, team-first team and all four of those guys embody those characteristics," Robinson said. "They're coachable guys. They're guys that you can count on both on and off the field. I believe in building the team from the front, getting those lines strengthened and we think we were able to do that in this draft. And then free agency with a couple of additions, we were able to acquire as well."

The best shops in Ireland:the search continues
CORK READER RUTH Fortune has found her favourite store: O' Keeffe's Shop in St Luke's Cross. "It's the kind of local shop I've always wanted to live near", she says, claiming the customers "reflect the mix of people in the area – long-time Cork natives and lots of newcomers from all corners". "When I was in there the other day," she explains, "the man ahead of me in the queue . . . an older gentleman, not especially dressed up . . . bought cigarette papers and blue cheese. That sums it up!".
Miriam Cremin, is a staunch supporter of Connolly's Fish Shop in Navan, Co Meath. Run by Kieran and Noleen Connolly, the store offers a "fantastic range of fresh fish five days a week", as well as "very simple" recipe advice from the ever-diligent Noleen. "You can almost taste the finished product as she describes how to prepare it", says Miriam.
"Long before the country knew what 'hot' was," says Gypsy Ray, "Shortis Wong was the place to go for spicy food." Shortis Wong Deli, located on John Street, Kilkenny and run by Chris Wong and Mary Shortis, is Gyspy's eatery of choice because of its "wonderful foods, both practical and puzzling for Westerners". Gypsy likes the layout of the shop, too, with its "aisles like small country roads, where you have to back up to let the other by". If the weather is bad, Vaughan's Garden Centre in Ennis, Co Clare is a great place to be, says Mary Greene, thanks to its "indoor shop, which contains beautiful plants, from geraniums to the most exotic orchids". Abtree Books in Lucan, Co Dublin is also a store much admired, particularly by Aisling McSweeney, who says the staff are always on hand to "order books they haven't got on the shelves", and, she says "they are cheerful while doing it!". She compliments Eadaoin in particular, who Aisling says was a great help, "when picking out books for children". The "Parisian feel" of Hickey's Bakery in Clonmel, Co Tipperary has attracted many return customers, among them Miriam Halley, who says "you can feel the history of and past generations of Hickeys in the cafe." Paying a visit to Eden Boutique in Dundalk, Co Louth transports you too, but, according to Emma O' Reilly, "it's like stepping into the past". The store, which deals in women's and children's clothes, is "on the upstairs level of a century old building", and, as Adrienne Leavy explains, "it retains the feel and charm of a bygone era." The Irish Design Shop is "a breath of fresh air compared to the boring oirish craft with the usual shamrock approach", says Garrett Power of the store on Bow Lane East in Co Dublin. He praises it for encouraging young Irish designers and for its online shop. Patricia McBride has had a long and happy history with JC Stewart's Foodhall in Magherafelt. She has experienced everything the store has to offer: from their "loose-packed liquorice whips" as a reward for getting the messages growing up, to their modern "prepared food, cooked fresh every day by resident chef Pat Doherty". "They didn't wear cool black chefs' whites", she says, comparing the store to Dean Deluca in Manhattan, "but they knew my name and they'd ask after my Granny."

Lazio are reportedly ready to offer €6m to sign defender Younes Kaboul from Tottenham Hotspur.
According to the Daily Express, Kaboul is seen as a promising buy after they snapped up Dutch international Stefan De Vrij from Feyenoord.
The bid on the table is currently €6m (around £4.75m), below the Spurs asking price of €8m (£6.3m).
As the centre-back's contract expires in June 2015, it is likely Tottenham will accept this lower offer.
The 28-year-old France international has the versatility Lazio are looking for, as he can also play right-back or even in midfield.

TAMPA, Fla. — Attacked from all sides by fellow Republicans, Texas Gov. Rick Perry softened his rhetoric, if not his position, on Social Security in a snarky presidential campaign debate Monday night.
He fended off assaults on his record creating jobs and requiring the vaccination of schoolgirls against a cancer-causing sexually transmitted virus.
Across a crackling two-hour debate, the front-runner in opinion polls gave little ground and frequently jabbed back, particularly at his chief rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
But the criticism of Perry kept coming — from Romney on Social Security; from Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, saying the governor had raised taxes; and from Rep. Michele Bachmann and former Sen. Rick Santorum, assailing his executive order to require Texas schoolgirls to get a vaccine for human papillomavirus, or HPV.
It marked the first time in the summer debates that internal Republican differences superseded a common eagerness to unseat Democratic President Barack Obama — especially on Social Security.
"A program that's been there 70 or 80 years, obviously we're not going to take that away," Perry said in the debate's opening moments as Romney pressed him on his earlier statements that questioned the constitutionality of Social Security and described it as a Ponzi scheme.
Perry counterattacked quickly, accusing Romney of "trying to scare seniors" with his own comments on a program that tens of millions of Americans rely on for part or all of their retirement income.
The eight rivals shared a debate stage for the second time in less than a week, a pace that marked a quickening in the campaign to choose a challenger to Obama in 2012. The encounter was sponsored by Tea Party groups — the conservative voters who propelled the GOP to victory in the 2010 congressional elections — and CNN.
There was no doubt which side the debate audience was on, though. Santorum drew loud applause when he said the current economy "would have to make a dramatic improvement just to be a disaster."
The debate unfolded in the city where Republicans will gather next summer to bestow the party nomination on a challenger to Obama.
Bachmann said she had "brought the voice of the Tea Party to the United States Congress as a founder of the Tea Party caucus."
But it soon became clear that the GOP presidential hopefuls were not only eager to court support from the most conservative voters but were eager not to offend seniors and others who depend on Social Security and Medicare.
None of the three who have gotten the most support so far this year — Perry, Romney and Bachmann — said they favored repealing the prescription-drug benefit in Medicare, which has a large unfunded liability. Paul, asked the same question, turned his answer to a call for ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as a way to save money.
Bachmann and Santorum were the aggressors when the topic turned to an executive order Perry signed in 2007 requiring the HPV vaccination of Texas schoolgirls.
Bachmann, whose candidacy surged and then fell back in the polls in less than a month, said that "to have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat-out wrong. That should never be done. It's a violation of a liberty interest."
Perry said, as he has before, it was a mistake to issue an executive order on the issue.

Out of Africa – The House Called Mbabati
June 19, 2016 in Books, Fiction, Romantic Novels, Suspense Thriller
Like many people, you may have been waiting for Samantha Ford's second novel for quite a while, but I can assure you it was well worth the wait and finally June 2016 is the month that her second book out of Africa has been published.
Samantha's first novel The Zanzibar Affair was a very well received and highly acclaimed debut novel which used Africa as a backdrop to her story telling. Once again she has drawn on her knowledge and experiences of Africa, its culture and the lives of the rich and privileged to weave an even more tangled web of mystery, intrigue and suspense in this, her second superb novel. You can read more about The Zanzibar Affair with this link.
Here is a little look at the storyline for A House Called Mbabati:
The Mother Superior crossed herself quickly. "May God forgive them both,"she murmured as she locked the diary and faded letters in the drawer.
Deep in the heart of the East African bush stands a deserted mansion. Boarded up, on the top floor, is a magnificent Steinway Concert Grand, shrouded in decades of dust.
In an antique shop in London, an elderly nun recognises an old photograph of the mansion; she knows it well – it is called Mbabati.
Seven thousand miles away in Cape Town a woman lies dying, she whispers one final word to journalist Alex Patterson – Mbabati.
Sensing a good story, and intrigued with what he has discovered about the dead woman's past, Alex heads for East Africa in search of the old abandoned house.
He is totally unprepared for what he discovers there; the hidden home of a once famous classical pianist whose career came to a shattering end; a grave with a blank headstone and an old retainer called Luke, who is the only one left alive who knows the truth about two sisters who disappeared without trace more than twenty years earlier.
Alex unravels a story which has fascinated the media and the police for decades. A twisting tale of love, passion, betrayal and murder; and the unbreakable bond between two extraordinary sisters who were prepared to sacrifice everything to hide the truth.
Mbabati is set against the magnificent and enduring landscape of the African bush – where nothing is ever quite as it seems.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Having read Samantha's first book 'The Zanzibar Affair', I knew I was going to be in for a treat and I wasn't disappointed. The story has so many twists and turns it keeps you guessing right to the end as investigative journalist Alex Patterson unravels a complex story of lies, deceit and injustice.
Sparked by the death of what appeared to be lonely old woman who at first sight looked like a homeless and destitute vagrant. He soon discovered she was a far cry from the impression she had created of herself. He paid for her funeral and started to investigate exactly who she was and where she had come from. But he had no idea where or how far his investigation was going to take him.

This time of year was always tough for me. September 10th is my mom's birthday. A mom I lost to cancer when she was only 54. I was 22. It was a time in our lives we should have been celebrating. I had just graduated college and was on my way to law school. My mom had planned on trying to fulfill her dream of becoming a lawyer and joining me there somehow in the next year or so.
My sister was entering her final year of school and my mom was so close to seeing her dream of having both her daughters get college degrees. Education was a big thing with my mom.
So was the American Dream. My boss, who knew my mother quite well, used to kid me that my mom was more American than most Americans. He was right.
My mom understood the gift she had been given by being able to come to this country. She struggled hard to bring my sister, grandparents, and me here. It wasn't an easy journey, but my mother never stopped believing in her dreams.
I guess that's what makes September 11 so hard for me in many ways. On a personal level, seeing it happen before my eyes is something that I will never forget.
On a much bigger scale, the events of 9-11 attacked something as dear to me as my mother and my family.
I am my mother's daughter in so many ways. More American than most Americans some might say. But then again, America has shaped so much of who I am. What I am.
I am the American Dream. I've lived it. I believe in it.
My mother always told me that any dream was achievable so long as I was willing to work hard for it.
I still believe that. It may not be easy at times. It hasn't been easy at times, but yet I still believe because to lose that dream is to lose America.
That's something I refuse to do.
So on this day, reflect on what America means to you. Reflect on what it meant to the people in those Towers, many from other countries eager to be here. Remember those who sacrificed so much to try and save others, from the civilians in the Towers to our brave firefighters, police and first responders. Remember the heroes on Flight 93 who gave all to save others and our men and women in the Pentagon.
Remember those who sacrifice in other ways to keep us free, namely our military men, women, and their families.
Don't lose sight of all that America has offered to so many and what it can still offer if you believe in its basic promise: Work hard and your dreams can come true.
Remember and never forget.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Police officials say two people were critically hurt in a crash in downtown Indianapolis Thursday night.
The crash occurred around 7 p.m. at the intersection of Ohio and Capitol.
Emergency crews at the scene say two cars were involved in the crash, a Cadillac and a Kia Sorento. Officials say two people inside of the Cadillac were taken to Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital in critical condition.
Officials say state representative David Niezgodski of South Bend and his 23-year-old daughter were in the vehicle.
24-Hour News 8's Jim Shella learned both Niezgodski and his daughter were upgraded to stable condition. Shella says the lawmaker has broken ribs, but was awake and alert.
The 24-year-old driver of the Kia Sorento was in good condition and not seriously hurt.
Investigators do not believe that impairment played a factor in this accident.
State Rep. Niezgodski issued the following statement Friday morning:
"I want to say how deeply moved our family has been by the outpouring of support we have received since last night's accident. The numbers of prayers and messages have been greatly appreciated by myself, my daughter and the rest of our family.
"I also must pay tribute to the police officers, firefighters and EMTs who responded so quickly to the scene, as well as the folks at Eskenazi Hospital who treated us. I always have believed that those men and women who devote themselves to public safety never get enough credit for the work they do to protect the rest of us, and the skill and expertise they bring to the table came to the forefront last night. For that, I will be eternally grateful.
"My daughter Rachael was released from the hospital last night. She suffered a concussion and some soft tissue damage, but considering the scope of the accident, we are all incredibly grateful that was the extent of her injuries.
"I suffered a broken rib, and the accident aggravated some neck problems I have had for several years. I am expected to be released sometime today, with some follow-up treatment scheduled for Monday.
"At times like this, it is valuable to count one's blessings. Thanks in no small part to the work of many, many dedicated servants, my daughter and I are alive today. We thank them, and we thank all of you who have shown us so much support over these past few hours. You all occupy a special place in our hearts."

Bristol's Byfield strikes to add to Watford's worries
Watford, who looked so commanding at the top of the table a few weeks ago, had their Championship lead cut to one point when they crashed 2-1 at home to Bristol City - their third defeat in a week and part of a shaky spell that has seen them take four points from six matches.
Their latest setback was inflicted upon them in stoppage time, with City's substitute, Darren Byfield scoring the decisive goal with a volley from Cole Skuse's cross. The only consolation for Watford was that second-place West Bromwich Albion, the highest Championship scorers and arguably the team whose style of football has attracted the most praise, missed their opportunity to overtake them through only getting a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. They needed a Mark Hudson own goal to get their noses in front, but were denied victory by a fifth goal in four matches from Clinton Morrison.
Ipswich's distinction as the only team in the Football League with a 100 per cent home record was ended as Barnsley held them to a goalless draw. That result, which Barnsley achieved without their suspended captain and leading scorer Brian Howard, again emphasised the difference that their 6ft 6in German keeper, Heinz Muller has made to them. Muller showed why he has reportedly become a transfer target for Premier League clubs with a string of excellent saves.
It was a mixed day for other keepers. Kasper Schmeichel, on loan to Cardiff from Manchester City, saved a Dean Windass penalty at Hull and then made the mistake which led to Hull making it 2-1. He was not the only player Cardiff fans would have blamed had their team lost - another would have been Steven Thompson, who followed the scoring of Cardiff's goal with glaring misses. However, he and Schmeichel were put out of their misery when Roger Johnson guided the ball home with a great left-foot shot in stoppage time.
Sheffield United's Paddy Kenny did much to steer his team to their 3-1 win at Coventry and QPR's Lee Camp was similarly prominent at Blackpool. Camp's show of defiance, though, proved worthless as Blackpool clinched victory with a stoppage-time header from Ben Burgess. Fortunately for QPR, the two other teams in the bottom three also lost; Preston went down 1-0 at Wolves while Norwich allowed Stoke to come from behind to beat them 2-1 - a match which saw Stoke manager Tony Pulis banished to the stands for protesting too vigorously over the referee's rejection of a Stoke penalty appeal.
That manager-of-the-month curse struck again, with Sheffield Wednesday's Brian Laws, the latest Championship recipient of the honour, experiencing the nasty surprise of a 2-1 home defeat by Colchester. It was Colchester's first win in eight matches and Wednesday's first defeat in seven.

The Winnipeg winners of a million-dollar mansion have put the home up for sale.
Sean Murphy and his mother were the co-winners of a 4,100 sq. foot home in the Waverley West neighbourhood. In June, the two won the home as the grand prize in the Health Sciences Centre Foundation's sweepstakes.
But Murphy said he and his family have decided to sell as the home is just too big. It's more than twice the size of the Island Lakes home he and his family already own.
"The boys picked out their rooms and they would have liked to stay, but it's just too much house for us," he said.
Fully furnished, the home is valued at $1.16 million but is listed at $974,900.
It features a number of amenities, including built-in aluminum appliances, a triple attached garage and soaring ceilings.
It's not uncommon for people who win lavish homes to sell them, realtor Glen MacAngus said.
"I think it's a lifestyle thing … 'Do you want the house, or do you want the cash?,'" he said.
"You can do a lot of things with the money if the house doesn't suit your lifestyle," MacAngus said.
He added he thinks he may have found a potential buyer.

Houston Will Host a WAPF Regional Wise Traditions Conference
Houston is lucky this year! The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) has chosen Houston to be the location of one of their two regional conferences for 2014. The WAPF has one major international conference each year (last one was in Atlanta, November 2013) and two regional conferences. We don't need to travel far to hear national speakers and learn more about eating traditional foods to promote good health.
The Houston Regional Wise Traditions Conference will be at the Houston Marriott South at Hobby Airport March 29-30, 2014.
Although there is much more to come, here is the information we have now about the program and the speakers.
The two-day, Saturday/Sunday conference will have two tracks, a beginner track and an advanced track. Saturday's tracks are Getting Started with Traditional Foods and Nutrition and Health. Sunday's tracks are Nutrition for Chronic Disease and Healthy Baby.
This is a great way to introduce your family and friends to a healthy nutrient-dense diet. There will also be talks that can provide information for those already on a real food diet.
The conference will be a good place to meet people who, like you, are interested in eating right for good health.
National speakers already confirmed are Sally Fallon Morrell, president of the WAPF, who will talk about the research of Weston A. Price and Nourishing Traditional Diets – Part I and II. Also confirmed are Chris Masterjohn PhD and Kaayla Daniel PhD. Local speakers include Dawn Ewing ND and Susan Doiron, who has given two superb food demos for our Meetup Group Houston Real Food Nutrition. More speakers will be announced soon.
In addition to the Traditional Diets presentation, other topics include a Bone Broth demo, Myths and Truths about Vegetarian Diets, The Vital Fat-Soluble Vitamins, Cod Liver Oil, Our Number One Superfood, and more.
There will be local and national vendors and exhibitors selling nutrient-dense food and healthy products.
On top of all that, there will be two delicious lunches (included) based on WAPF foods. And don't forget desserts!
I will be there! I hope to see you!
Food photos are from the 2013 Wise Traditions conference in Atlanta and show some of the delicious meals that you can expect at the Houston conference.

Is There Money To Be Made On The Internet?
Is there money to be made on the internet?
If you are overwhelmed and wondering if it really is possible to make money on the internet by network marketing? The following post is my brief answer to this question.
Yes. There is money to be made online, but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Any program you join, you have to either recruit others and/or make sales. Both of those require learning, developing skill sets, and work. It took me years to learn. Lead generation is one part of the equation, but conversion, or turning leads into sales is the most challenging part. I really understand the overwhelm that beginners have. I've been there. The longer you research and make mistakes, the more you recognize what really has the possibility to create an income or not.
Establishing a sustainable online business takes money too, and sometimes a lot of it! I finally found the program that has what I was looking for, but I spent thousands of dollars trying to find the right one. I was able to quit my job last year because I found a primary program along with a combination of systems that work. Once I figured out the pattern I needed to generate money, I continue the "rinse and repeat" routine. I prefer affiliate marketing, but it is important to choose one that is worth your marketing efforts. There are so many to pick, so the quality of the program and whether you implement or not is the key. Ultimately, an affiliate program with residual income is ideal and gives you the opportunity to build a sustainable long term business.
When anybody gets online with the intention of making money, one of the common beliefs is that you must create your own product to do so. Creating your own products is the best way if you can promote and distribute it in mass numbers and you build an army of affiliates. That is exactly what the top earners do. Generally, their influence spans to hundreds of followers, which they earned. In other words, they paid their dues. You may not have the influence as you are working your way up, but using leverage in the meantime is the best route to take. Maybe you need to generate money to build first, so one way is through affiliate marketing and using the magic of leverage. It's essential to promote programs with a higher per cent commission, take action, and invest in paid advertising. My preferred method of paid advertising is solo ads for many reasons which is a topic in itself.
The sad news is there is no secret. There is no magic bullet. There is no get rich quick programs. Revenue share and/or cycler programs are a great example of getting involved with something that ultimately will become a total waste of time and money. Here is one definition of cycler programs: Money Doublers, Single-Line Matrix & Multiple-Level Matrix Programs, and Randomizers. Most programs of this type have a commission system based on a specified percentage of the member's deposit or from recruiting downline members, which is usually paid out at the time a matrix is filled or a line cycles. My experience is "Buyer Beware." I admit I dabbled in a few, and my experience warns you to be careful. I resist promoting any of those types of programs. There are some people who have made money with them, but I am not one. A majority of players usually lose or they cannot withdraw or have access to any money generated. For those of you who like to gamble and play, then it's up to you, but I've been burned. If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually isn't.
I really want to help people duplicate what I've done, but it is sometimes difficult because everyone is in a different situation. I am an internet marketer/entrepreneur that loves what I do. It took me a long time and I encountered many struggles and challenges to make it, but tenacity was on my side. Many people don't have the money to invest, and sadly they will continue to just spin their wheels. Many people don't have the mindset needed for abundance. The first step is defining what abundance means to you, then set your goals to achieve them. Then you have to work very hard to shatter outdated, old useless beliefs which may be holding you back. Your success will depend upon your mindset and whether you are ready to receive.
I get frustrated because people want to make money so desperately and they sign up for programs, but then do not do one thing to move it forward and they either won't or can't invest in advertising. The same thing goes for offline businesses. Could you imagine any offline business starting out that could survive without advertising?
We are bombarded daily with emails promising quick and easy money. Money will pop into your life without doing anything. Nothing can be further than the truth! Some offers are good and will work if you engage and work it with focus and dedication. EVERY program requires effort. They can and will work if approached with a "do whatever it takes to work attitude." However, some programs are better than others.
My intent to answer this question Is There Money To Be Made On The Internet? is not to promote any particular program or tool or method. I promote quality programs which work for me and I believe can work for others. I am happy to share what I do if you contact me personally.
I hope you'll consider contributing to the conversation by leaving a comment and sharing this post with your friends! In fact I'd love to connect with YOU! To follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, just click on my Social Media Icons on my sidebar 🙂

Hi Raena!
I was just having a conversation today with David about this very thing! So many people we notice lately from his end and mine are part of that large percentage that "do not make it" in business.
I for one am hearing so many excuses that "I don't have money to start with" and to me that is a pretty silly response. Why? Because in ANY business, offline, or online we need a start-up cost. It can be a small or large budget but we must have one!
Or…worse yet "I purchased that program months ago but didn't get a chance to view it. Well you know it is just a scam anyway" WHAT? Yes..I've heard this kind of thing lately. Or the "I don't want to spend money on advertising!" Yes very frustrating! SMH
It takes everyone a while to make money on the internet. Just ask anyone who has. They will tell you the uphill climb they had to make to finally find something that fit, and just rinse and repeat. That's the way to go.
I've seen you for a while online and watch you grow. Now you are on that "breaking point" whereby you are making it and you certainly deserve it Raena. You have come a long way with your heart and soul.
Hi Raena
Of course there is money to be made and yes it takes time. I have heard a few stories of people who have come online and made good money quickly. Mainly in EN but the people who did it really hustled and worked social media.
For people who do not have a big budget they need to put in the sweat equity. I personally think some of that as well as a marketing budget is a good way to learn.
I first started out with a partner and a business selling appareil to businesses. Hats and lanyards and stuff. It took that business time and a lot of work. My ex-business partner is now rocking it with the work.
I am not sure where people got the idea they could come online and have instant success. When I started with my blog there was a woman in my syndication group who gave herself 3 months or she was out of it. Please!
Great post and topic Raena.
Hi Raena,
It is true. When you are a beginner you are very excited and full of energy. You want to conquer the world. In just 5-6 months you are overwhelmed and confused. You have worked hard but the results are miserable etc.
"There are so many to pick". Yes, but this is a big part of the problem. Which one to choose? For me time is not a problem, work is not a problem. Trust is the main problem.
You don't know what to try, you don't know what program to pick, you don't know who to follow. This last part is the most devastating one. There is no guarantee you will get a good training when you pay. It doesn't matter you pay 100 dollars or 1000 dollars. It can be a waste of time.
What I really hate is that most marketers I have met sell a system with gaps. It works until a specific point. Then you discover you have no information to pass that point. when you ask the marketer he or she says:
"OK. This needs a one on one session with me. It costs you 300 dollars. My time is expensive." This is the moment when you are stuck. After the first gap another one will follow. Another 300 dollars. This is not the way to succeed. This is the way to bankruptcy.
Network marketing or internet marketing?
For me network marketing means recruiting people, direct sales and personal charisma.
This is not my thing.
Internet marketign is more "indirect" . You don't need to talk to anybody on skype to persuade him or her to join an organization or buy something. I like this. More suitable for me.
Affiliate marketing? Yes. I like the idea. However, it is the same problem of choosing and finally Trust. If you really trust somebody you will find the money to invest in that persons' training or products.
It seems that you recommend affiliate marketing + paid advertising. You remind me of Jo Barnes who uses paid advertising a lot and recommends it. What about the organic traffic? Is it just dust in people's eyes?
What is a cycler program?
OK. I would gladly contact you and have a talk about internet marketing or affiliate marketing. I am not interested in recruiting people or direct sales.
Have a nice day
There are definitely a lot of opportunities online to make money. I've tried quite a few of them out of curiosity. I find myself more drawn to opportunities that appeal to my creativity.
Hi Nile,
You are already at the right place at the right time. Your creativity shows with whatever you do and you deserve to win the Small Business Influencer Award 🙂
Raena lynn
As a non internet marketer, I've read your post with a willingness to learn what it took – and with delight and a clap of my hands, I see it's the same as any other business! There is no magic pill, there's a lot of trial and error, and moreover, our beliefs have to change through each one of those as we learn to let go of our naive thinking that there's instant success. Congratulations on persevering through thick and thin.
Hello Raena.
I believe there is money to be made on the internet. In fact that is probably more true now than it has ever been, and the opportunities will only grow in the future. However, you are right about the work. I had a professor that used to say "There is no free lunch." You have to put the time and effort in to reap the rewards. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Hey Reana,
There is indeed money to make, but like to mentioned, it's not easy. If you want a regular source of income from internet, then it's going to take a lot of effort, time and of course, money.
I haven't had much experience with making money online, but I have made some money (mainly through guest blogging contests). I really didn't have an ambition to make any money online, but that changed over time.
I have tried affiliate marketing too, but it didn't work (same mistakes). Back then, I didn't quite know how things worked. I also had a plan to make money through Kindle Books (and I had started working on Kindle books), but I didn't continue as I decided to quit blogging for a while (that was one year ago).
Now I am back to blogging and I do have a plan 😀 I have learned a lot from my past mistakes (frankly, I am glad that those mistakes happened, or else I might have committed it in the future). Right now, I am planning to make some money through guest blogging, and use the money to start a new blog (And then start a product – maybe resume my Kindle books project or start one. I also plan to use email marketing + affiliate marketing for another source of money).
Anyways, thank you for sharing your insights, Raena!
Okay, what happened to my comment Raena? I left one shortly after you wrote this post but coming back by for a visit I see it's not here! Man, I so hate that when that happens. Guess I'll start over and give my two cents worth, again. lol…
Like most people who venture online I had no clue what I was doing. I will share though that I bought a $37 eBook and devoured it. It was a seven day step-by-step outline course of exactly what you should do and I did it. I think the lucky thing for me was the course said that it would probably take you several months for you to start generating an income because it took that long for your content to be seen. Guess what happened to me though! I made money on my third day, my fifth day and my seventh day and not only made back my investment but a profit. I was hooked.
You have to do the work but you shouldn't expect immediate results. I have no idea how those people found my content that soon but I was not complaining and knew it worked.
Like anything else though you have to invest money to make money but like with me, it didn't take much to get me started. Granted, that method didn't end up lasting too terribly long because once again Google changed their algorithms and everything went to pot. What I did learn though that it was possible if you're willing to do the work. Trust me, it's SO worth it.
Great share and I agree with you 100%.
Hi Raena,
EVERY program requires effort! How true! Far too many people want to have magic bullets and ended hopping from program to program. It is indeed sad.
Like you, I have also invested thousands of dollars into various tools and programs. I am glad that I have eventually found a way that I can have my own leads. YET, you are right, other challenges have to be tackled. How about traffic to the blog? What about the conversion rate?
It is really wonderful that you are now in a position to teach others to follow the program(s) that worked for you! The investment in great programs cannot be under-estimated. Like Sue mentioned, those without the funds need to put in ' sweat equity'.
I trust that people with abundance mindset will have the creativity to 'problem solve' the initial money issue. Instead of saying "I can't afford it.", they will be asking "How can I afford it?". Unless one is dead broke, how about selling some of the 'stuff' to fund the success journey?
This is such a heart-felt success tips< Rae! Keep up the good work!

Government-sponsored entities (GSE's), most commonly referred to as federal agencies are financing entities created by Congress to fund loans to certain groups of borrowers, such as homeowners and farmers. The four most common GSE's are:
- Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA – Fannie Mae)
- Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC – Freddie Mac)
- Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
- Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB)
Although all the agencies were created by Congress, there are some differences between them. Both FNMA and FHLMC are publicly- chartered companies (though both are currently under conservatorship) while FHLB and FFCB are systems comprising regional banks. Additionally, FFCB and FHLB have state and local tax exemption status on the interest from their bonds.
To conduct their lending business, GSE's depend primarily on debt financing to fund their operations. The agencies issue bullet securities, callable bonds, floating rate debt and discount notes through a variety of formats such as formal controlled selling groups, competitive auctions, and negotiated underwritings.
Led by highly respected industry veteran Steve Ivcic, the government debt trading team at Drexel Hamilton provides the kind of expert advice and value added portfolio management strategies that clients can rely on.
