From the desk of the Editor;

Food,drink,hitting the club,or partying, who could think of going to eat in a crucial crisis in American (US) History? Admittedly, each of us is wired or tapped differently, food and drink as a stress indicator,the world is up in Alms,and it has a tantamount American consumers and shoppers seeking solace and comfort in food and drink. Everyday consumers and shoppers handle social,personal,and professional pressures differently. Recently,I joined thousands of American consumers and shoppers who feel survivors remorse,at the same time who feel the social pressures to want to perform,to survive,and outlast statistics. Sadly; the drive to move forward has been impeded by personal and religious beliefs,as well as, slow economic growth,mass lost of life,and threats of impending wars. In such a time,I like thousands of American consumers and shoppers have turned to food and drink for comfort indavertently. Obsessed with the intended threat of a potential missile strike against Syria,I had put little thought towards the commeration of the 9-11 Remembrance;eventhough,I made it a point to save the date on the csaccac calendar. As I wrote in September's Editor,I knew that I would be a bit distracted because of csaccac In yearly fundraiser and my upcoming 42nd Birthday,for that reason,I wrote September's Editor in mid August,I however had little inkling that Id be obsessed with the war in Syria. Weeks leading up to the announcement of a potential missile strike against Syria and Remembrance of 9-11,I had been snacking more than usual. Fueled by sheer mind power,determination,and life long goals,I found the motivation to get the csaccac eNewsletter done,to be honest snacking helped me through it. Not to make light of the 9-11 Remembrance,without a question the 9/11 terriost attack had been one of the worst attacks against American citizens on US soil,the images of the attack remain intense,vivid,shocking and unsettling,just as on the day the terriost attack ocurred. An enormous task,that didnt happening overnight,more than ten years later,American consumers and shoppers has begun to replace those dreadful,awful images with new images. A horrific event,it isnt a surprise that more than ten years later American citizens continue to feel the effects of the 9/11 attacks. Largely in part of being pulled two directions,I had put little emphasis on 9/11 Remembrance. Even after having highlighted the date,I obsessed over the Syrian threaten along with the thought of turning forty-two. And to be truthful,I focused on current events instead of the immediate past. On the eve of the 9/11 Remembrance,I viewed the Presidential Address in reference to potential military strike against Syria. As I listened to the Presidential Address,I didnt feel fully informed to make a life threatening decision such as killing a group whom I knew nothing about i.e their religious belief,social customs,government,what they do,how they lived before the war,what kind of foods they eat and so forth. Overall,I didnt hear the exigent call to rise up American and take Action__there's a Monster on the loose. Perhaps a video as in the Kony 2012 movement would have been more effect. Afterwards,I watched last few minutes of Camp Rock 2 on Disney XD,luved the music and dance scene then I went to sleep totally oblivious to the next day events.On the morning of 9/11,I continued to focus on Syria. By mid afternoon,I was out of the house on a snack run,while simultaneously listening to Kony 2012 reviews,comments,and critics. Hours later, I turned my focus and attention to Remembering 9/11. Video links,news footage,pictures,thanks to Yahoo and Social Media,I commemorated day with the assistance of the World Wide Web(www).
