It is likely that these deposits are ephemeral and are commonly covered by finer grained sediment. These units are concentrated at the mouths of the Santa Clara and Ventura Rivers and a few smaller coastal watersheds to the northwest, and they are inferred to represent wave-winnowed lags of deltaic sediment. Coarser grained deposits (Qmsc), which are recognized on the basis of high backscatter (sheet 3, SIM 3254), camera observations (sheet 6, SIM 3254), and sampling (Reid and others, 2006 Barnard and others, 2009), are found locally in water depths less than about 15 m. Although the general area in which Qmss depressions are found is not likely to change substantially, the boundaries of the unit(s), as well as the locations of individual depressions and their intervening flat sand sheets, likely are ephemeral, changing during significant storm events. Such features have been referred to as "rippled-scour depressions" (for example, Cacchione and others, 1984) or "sorted bedforms" (for example, Goff and others, 2005 Trembanis and Hume, 2011). Offshore of the mouth of the Ventura River, at water depths of between 20 and 30 m, the sandy shelf (Qms) includes an area of irregular arcuate depressions floored by coarser sediment (coarse sand and possibly gravel Qmss). Given that this is an area of abundant sediment supply and active sediment transport (Barnard and others, 2009 Warrick and Farnsworth, 2009a), it is important to note that the boundary between Qms and Qmsf should be considered transitional and approximate and is expected to shift as a result of seasonal- to annual- to decadal-scale cycles in wave climate, sediment supply, and sediment transport. The boundary between Qms and Qmsf is based on observations and extrapolation from sediment sampling (for example, Reid and others, 2006) and camera ground-truth surveying (see sheet 6, SIM 3254). Shelf deposits are primarily sand (Qms) at depths less than about 25 m and, at depths greater than about 25 m, are more fine-grained sediment (very fine sand, silt and clay) (Qmsf). The mean annual sediment load of these two rivers exceeds 3.25 kt/yr (Warrick and Farnsworth, 2009a), and the area is largely part of an extensive Quaternary deltaic depocenter (Dahlen, 1992 Slater and others, 2002 Sommerfield and others, 2009). The offshore part of the map area largely consists of a relatively shallow (less than 40 m deep), gently offshore-dipping (less than 1 degree) shelf underlain by recent marine and deltaic deposits of the Santa Clara and Ventura Rivers. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.This polygon shapefile depicts geological features within the offshore area of Ventura, California.Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.We admitted we were powerless over alcohol – that our lives had become unmanageable.It welcomes all those who need help regardless of the faith or religion they follow.
However, AA has since evolved as a religion-neutral platform. As AA was founded as a Christian organization initially, there is a slight religious influence in these 12 steps. All members are required to participate in the 12 steps to achieve the desired goals. The 12-step program of AA is aimed at creating a sense of self-awareness among individuals addicted to alcohol and other substances.
