Tiger Signs Up for Thai Skins Game
Tiger Woods will return to Thailand to play in a charity event in honor of King Bhumibol.
Woods, whose mother is Thai, will play with Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee, Englishman Paul Casey and Camilo Villegas of Colombia in the "World Golf Salutes King Bhumibol" skins game at Amata Spring Country Club on November 8.
The event is part of the celebrations of the King's 84th birthday and his 60th year on the throne. The total purse is 9 million baht. The four players have agreed to give all their prize money to King Bhumibol.
"It's a great honor to be part of the celebrations for King Bhumibol," Woods said in a statement. "I am really looking forward to coming back and hopefully win it all."
The 14-time major champion, who has been here several times, recalled when he last played in the country in 2000. "I am so glad and very excited to be going back to Thailand. I always remember the smiles on Thai people's faces and their warm welcome," he said.
Woods said that Thailand has always been a special place for his family, particularly his mother Kultida. "Hopefully, we can put on a good show for the spectators," he said.
Woods will arrive in Thailand on November 7 after the HSBC Champions in Shanghai. He and Thongchai will visit the King at Siriraj Hospital and meet Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on the morning of November 8.
Three-time Asian Tour Order of Merit winner Thongchai said the event provides an opportunity for him to show gratitude to King Bhumibol. "It is an honor to do something for our beloved King. It is a dream come true for me and my whole family," said the winner of 12 Asian Tour titles.
Villegas said he will do his best to entertain the fans. "I am sure that it will be a great game to watch," said the 28-year-old.
The chair of the organizing committee, Suwat Liptapanlop, said the four players have agreed to wear pink shirts - the color Thais believe will give the King good health.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go to help flood victims, Liptapanlop added. Only 6,000 tickets are available.

The list of things Pau Gasol and Metta World Peace have in common expanded by one.
It used to be just:
1. Both play professional basketball
2. Both play pro basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers
Now you can add:
3. Both have been nominated for the NBA's J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award
Gasol was named as one of the four finalists for the award on Tuesday. The distinction is awarded annually to the player, coach or trainer who shows "outstanding service and dedication to the community." The other finalists include Orlando's J.J. Redick, Dallas' Jason Terry and Atlanta's Josh Smith.
World Peace won the award last season back when he was still Ron Artest.
Gasol visited St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis back in March and this 2010 column by ESPN's Tom Friend gives a good feel of Gasol's continual charitable involvement in the medical community.

Assorted ramblings from the world of entertainment:
Covelli Enterprises is looking for ''soldiers'' in the fight against cancer who want to meet Pat Benatar.
Benatar and her husband Neil Giraldo are performing at the Covelli Centre on Aug. 16 as a kickoff to this year's Panerathon, a 10K/2-mile run/walk that raises money for the HMHP Foundation in support of the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center.
The contest is searching for inspirational stories, not only from cancer survivors, but from current patients, care givers, medical personnel, researchers or family and friends affected by any form of cancer. The purpose of the contest is to honor those individuals who are on the "battlefield" fighting against or fighting to end cancer in our Valley.
A panel will pick the top 10 entries, with each author receiving a $50 Panera gift card. The top three finalists will get two tickets for the concert, a meet-and-greet with Benatar and Giraldo and a $100 Panera gift card. They also will be honored at Panerathon on Aug. 25.
Entries will be accepted through July 8, and submissions should include a story of 250 words or less.
All entries should be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com or mailed to 229 E. Front St. Youngstown, OH 55503 Attn: Love is A Battlefield Contest. A full list of contest details and regulations can be found at covellicentre.com.
After a one-year absence, Vexfest is returning to downtown Youngstown.
The outdoor festival is slated for Aug. 11 and will feature two stages for live music showcasing local and regional acts. And, as in the past, admission will be free.
Acts interested in performing can submit electronic press kits through Sonicbids at sonicbids.com/vexfest9. The deadline for submissions is July 15.
Stambaugh Auditorium kicks off its ''Bands at the Baugh'' outdoor concert series today, although there has been a change in the lineup.
Teddy Pantelas, who originally was scheduled to open the series, has been replaced by the acoustic duo Davis & McKay, who will perform starting at 5:30 p.m. today at the auditorium's formal garden.
Tickets are $10, which includes one drink from the cash bar. The concerts are presented by the Stambaugh Pillars group, and proceeds will go toward its annual fundraising efforts to support the venue.
Opening Friday in the Cleveland area is ''Made in Cleveland,'' billed as the ''largest-ever independent film shot in Cleveland by a local film crew.'' It features five writers, six directors and more than 150 actors in nine short films. Like most anthology films, the end result is uneven, but there are several highs.
''Book of Love,'' written by Robert Mason and directed by Robert Banks, is one of the less Cleveland-centric tales, but it's a cute, clever silent film about a courtship that plays out in the library with the prospective couple communicating solely through book titles pulled from the shelves.
The biggest names in the cast, Busy Philipps (''Freaks & Geeks,'' ''Cougar Town'') and Gillian Jacobs (''Community''), star in the opening film (which has an unprintable title), a scruffy tale about two hotel maids dealing with personal issues and winter on the North Coast.
WKYC anchor Robin Swoboda is surprisingly good in ''Love Interrupted,'' and there's a nice rapport between Derek Koger and Joe Zamora as EMTs in the film ''Domestic Disputes'' (although a true Clevelander knows that you never would go to the arthouse Cedar-Lee Theatre to see ''the new Vin Diesel movie'').
It will be playing at all five Atlas Cinemas (the closest to Trumbull County is Eastgate 10 in Mayfield Heights). I can't honestly say it's worth an hour drive for Mahoning Valley residents, but it's fun to see familiar sites like Slyman's Restaurant and The Grog Shop on screen. And it will be worth checking out when it eventually arrives on DVD.

How many times have you sniffed a glass of wine and thought to yourself, "I know that smell...but what is it?" That statement is more common than you think. If it has happened to you, you are certainly not alone in feeling that vague sense of recognition that you should be able to identify what it is you smell in the wine but can't.
Smelling wine is the most important aspect of wine appreciation and enjoyment. When it comes to wine, our sense of smell is the most acute of all senses. For instance, we can easily identify what something feels like, sounds like, or looks like. But when it comes to identifying smell and taste, it is often more difficult. The reality is that it shouldn't be harder. Our nose is responsible for sending messages to the brain to distinguish and identify different scents. Research has shown that the average person can identify close to 2,000 different scents. Wine has over 200 scents of its own.
When we smell wine, we are smelling its aromas and bouquet. Aroma - sometimes referred to as the "nose" of the wine - is the scent of the grape. The bouquet refers to the by-products of the fermentation process: stainless steel, oak, or both, along with bottle aging, and winemaking techniques.
The scents of the aromas and the bouquet are different and differ for white and red wines. For example, in white wine you might detect aromas of peach, apricot, honeysuckle, flowers, grapefruit, herbs and bouquet of vanilla, toast, or butter. In red wines, chocolate, strawberries, black cherries, black pepper, white pepper, licorice and tobacco may come to mind with bouquets of smoke, burnt toast, vanilla, earth, cedar, or yeast. As you smell the wine, you may also detect more than one aroma or bouquet.
Common descriptors used when smelling wine are floral, vegetal, buttery, spicy, herbal, smokey, citrusy, fruity, woody, nutty, earthy.
Spend a few seconds swirling the glass of wine, which releases the wine's aromas and bouquet. Stick your nose in the glass (don't be shy) and inhale deeply. Put the glass down, close your eyes and try to identify what you smell. Is it fruity or floral? If so, what type of fruit or flower? Does it smell woody or smokey? Can you detect chocolate, coffee, or citrus?
Your sense of smell tires easily, so if at the first sniff you don't identify an aroma, wait a few moments, swirl the glass again and take another deep whiff.
Here are some aromas and bouquets you might expect in common varietals: Chardonnay (green apple, butter); Riesling (honey, flowers); Sauvignon Blanc (grapefruit, herbal); Cabernet Sauvignon (black currant, cocoa, oak), Pinot Noir (strawberry, raspberry, spice, earth); Zinfandel (blackberries, cinnamon, smoke).
Whatever you smell, it should be pleasant. An unpleasant smell could be a sign that the wine has spoiled. If you detect the smell of wet paper, wet dog, or mold, then the wine may be tainted, commonly referred to as "corked". This is as a result of bacteria invading the cork.
Everyone's sense of smell is different. That is why there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to describing a wine's aroma or bouquet.
Have a good time swirling and sniffing your wine and identifying the different wine scents. You'll be surprised at how good you will become at this. Add to that, it is fun! Cheers!

Sabine has started two JUDDD threads if you are interested in the program.
Thanks for this. Demuralist already mentioned it & they are now safely in the freezer waiting for the day the dog need his breakfast & I don't have any eggs!
PS: I freeze it in ice cube trays then suck on one in the summer if I crave some ice cream. For me it makes an acceptable alternative as I don't use any form of sugar or sugar substitute
I just wanted to mention that it happened again. Last night I came home and was feeling like I wanted to eat something even though I was not hungry. After the third trip to the hazelnut package and feeling full ( I HATE feeling like I over ate) I decided to drink some salt water since I realized I was looking for something salty to eat. Even before I finished the 6 ounce glass my craving to eat had evaporated. I don't know if it's psychological or driven by a need for sodium but it's worked twice in two weeks. The downside is my weight is up another two pounds this am but it's water weight so I hope it drops off in a day or so.
How much salt in that glass of water?
I knew someone would ask. I didn't measure. I am guessing about a gram of kosher real salt.
Over the last few months I have added a number of BMR calculators here. None of which I think are particularly accurate but all are good fun (note to newbies - I am NOT a fan of using calculated BMR but YMMV). I wasn't going to post any more until I found this:
John's BMR Calculator
Its so good I just had to share.
Just checking in...I was away on Friday. Since hitting my low weight on Fri 3/22, TTOM interfered with some attached binging. I have stopped tracking and am just eating 2-4 oz of protein with fat and 1/2 cup of veg at some meals. I am still off dairy and sweeteners. My calories are probably around 1600, my BMR. Protein between 60 and 70 grams, Carbs 25g, fat 75-80%.
The tracking was starting to make me crazy and I think that I hit the jackpot on my last experiment which is listed above and what I will follow from now on.
I have added some amino acids based on the recommendations of Julia Ross in her book "The Diet Cure". I will report in again next Saturday and talk more about the aminos.
Now that I have perfected my LCHF N=1, I am trying to read fewer threads on MDA because they just confuse issues for me and make me want to tweak things that do not need tweaking.
Good luck to those of you still following this protocol with me.

I'm glad you found your good spot for weight loss. May I ask a few questions?
Howvmany times a day are you having your 2-4 oz of protein? What sort, and how much fat are you adding?
I'm eating that amount of protein 3x a day but have been having lower fat and can't seem to budge the scale. I'm trying that after initially gaining with more fat. I'm having a similar amount of veggies, but still have so dairy in the form of plain greek yogurt. Maybe I need to give that up.
calee, here is a typical day.
Protein 4 times a day. My snacks are macadamias or pork rinds both of which have protein fat and carb. Most meals are 3-4oz p
protein is 2 eggs, applegate sausage or bacon
veg (carb)-peppers and onion mix
fat-1 Tbsp Coco Oil and 2 Tbsp Coco Milk in coffee, 1 tbsp butter for cooking, 1 Tbsp mayo with eggs
protein-tuna, lunch meat (hormel naturals), chicken or other left over dinner.
veg-1/2 cup broccoli and cauliflower mix or something similar
fat-2 tbsp mayo (tuna), 1 tbsp butter
2:30pm Snack see above
3-4 oz Meat, veg with butter or salad with OO, vinegar and avocado

MOSCOW (AP) - In the strongest sign yet that Russia's era of space glory may be ending, cosmonauts will abandon the Mir space station in August and let it eventually burn up in the atmosphere unless new funding is found, officials said Tuesday.
The 13-year-old Mir saw a series of accidents in 1997, including a fire and a near-fatal space collision, but has been running relatively trouble-free since then. When it is abandoned in August, it will be the first time the station has been unmanned since it was launched.
Its biggest obstacle lately has been financial: The government can no longer come up with the $250 million needed each year to keep the space station up and running.
"We can't keep the station aloft because we have no money," Sergei Gorbunov, a Russian Space Agency spokesman, said on NTV television Tuesday.
The decision must still be approved by President Boris Yeltsin. The cash-short government has agreed to finance the Mir only through August and says it should be discarded then unless private funding is found. Efforts to raise the money have failed.
The Russian Space Agency has been under pressure from its U.S. counterpart NASA to abandon the Mir and concentrate its meager resources on the international space station. Because of Russia's failure to build its segments on time, the first permanent crew isn't expected to be able to move into the international space station until next March, almost two years behind schedule.
A panel of top Russian space officials met Tuesday at the Mission Control Center in Korolyov, outside Moscow, to make their recommendations on the Mir's future.
They decided that the best option would be for the three-man crew to depart in August, leaving it to circle the Earth unmanned until early next year when it is expected to burn up in the atmosphere, said Vyacheslav Mikhailichenko, a spokesman for space agency.
Space officials had said previously that it would be too dangerous to leave the space station unmanned.

In a 0.5 PPR, who do you like more in the second round? I've got the 16th overall pick and would prefer to pick up a running back here.
I tend to view Hillis as the more consistent/safer option, and McFadden as the upside play. This could be a pivotal decision point in my draft, and one where Kubiak seems to disagree with the general fantasy pundit consensus.
3 replies , Last at 01 Sep 2011, 6:57pm by Arjen.Robben
Based on risk, KUBIAK thinks McFadden is more likely to reach his projections, but they do like Hillis more. In a 16+ team draft, you might not even get the chance to take McFadden, since he's going around 15th overall ADP, while Hillis is going at least a round later. But you won't be able to wait on Hillis either, so I'd actually take him.
There's a group of RBs that are going much later than McFadden but whom KUBIAK projects to be pretty similar (Felix Jones, Matthews, Benson, etc.) that you could get similar production from but with a 3rd or 4th round pick.
KUBIAK disagrees, but remember to look at why it disagrees.
I think McFadden personally is one of the players that it has wrong. His team ran 501 times last year, and he was getting 17 carries a game when he was in. Even if they run significantly less, his 192 carries to Bush's 138 is absurd. (nearly half of Bush's carries last year came on the 3 games McFadden missed). They have him dropping around 81 attempts (assuming a healthy year) and nearly 1 YPC. Nothing that Hue Jackson has said implies that he won't be the focal point of this offense. I like Hillis and his schedule a lot, but McFadden is being badly underprojected by KUBIAK and its still giving him a comparatively good score. I don't see how you can choose Hillis over him if he's there.
This is really good analysis. Thanks! I tend to agree. The mains sources of uncertainty for me are the Oakland O-Line and the coaching changes. Either way, as a fantasy owner I generally have a high tolerance for the perceived riskiness of players. Although I love Hillis, I am more likely to select McFadden.

When the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens meet in Super Bowl XLVII Sunday, will God play a role in which team wins?
The Public Religion Research Institute asked that question of Americans and discovered nearly 30 percent said "yes."
"We also found that a majority of Americans, 53 percent of Americans say that God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success in their careers," the institute's Dr. Robert Jones said.
"And so we've seen a lot of athletes in basketball, baseball, football who are very deliberate about witnessing about their faith either before the game, after the game, during the game through gestures," he continued.
"We also saw that most Americans approve of those expressions of faith on the field," Jones said.
Even people who describe themselves as "religiously unaffiliated" approve of athletes expressing their faith. Just 8 percent disapprove.

Some are doing it now, in the 7 days of spuds or something. It is a cold tator experiment. The resistant starch thing. You can find it just a few doors down.
Some are doing it now, in the 7 days of spuds or something. It is a cold tator experiment. The resistant starch thing. You can find it just a few doors down.
Babble Alert:
I am thinking of going tators for a few days. My weight has been climbing, and I am eating right. And I am exercising. So maybe I am not eating enough, I don't know. But I do seem to climb during the middle of the month... so I guess it is that time of the month again.
I was reading the SLD thread, and that part in the PHD book, so I did have CO the morning before last, and ended up with 1600 calories for that day, which is 300 - 400 higher than normal, and gained the next day 1.1lb. So then yesterday I didnt have it, and was at 1200 calories and this morning I still had a gain of 1.5lb
Just shoot me now.
So I dont know. I have been more active. I know PHD says increase 500 calories for every hour of activity. But when I do tabata, I don't know how to count that so usually I don't increase any calories. And my ST isnt anything to write home about.
So I don't know. Today, I did some CO first thing at about 3am. I broke fast at 9, cuz I had dinner at 5 last night. I have tracked my PHD foods for the day already. And I have been hungrier today for some reason but if I stay on track, I'll have 1587 calories - not including veggie calories, and this morning was a workout day so maybe that is why I am hungrier. Going to retake my measurements in the morning. I havent done that for awhile.
So I don't know... I am just babbling now. The gains just get so frustrating when you think you are doing everything right. I just can't get over this hump. I got over it, barely, but now I am back the other direction. So that is why the set point on the SLD stuff had me thinking because I just can't get over it and stay over it.
Now I am just wondering if my calories are just too low. The 1600 was a rare one. And today almost 1600 is rare. I normally come in 1200 - 1300ish. ugghh
I put in my tracker everything PHD says I should have each day as a base, and I think it was saying almost 1400 and that was with 2TBL of CO. So that is what I am trying to do today. So I just don't know if I should keep on that, or do a few days of tators............. I know. Shut up already. It helps me sometimes (but not this time cuz I am clueless) to type it out.
Oh, just one more thing. I was losing weight at a good clip until I went VLC. I can see from my graph that everything just went to hell after that. And really, I am not that much farther along than I was then. I have pretty much been flat lined since middle of August. It has gone up, down, up, down but if you draw a line, I am about the same weight. Makes me want to cry to even think about that. That is 5 months. % months??!! Now I think I will cry. And the few months prior to that, wasnt that much progress either.
Ok, I forgot where I was going with that. I was going to say, I went to the DR about that time, I can't remember for sure, and thyroid was okay. Not pre-menie. But maybe I have messed something up since then? I came off the HF first part of October.
I dont do soda, I dont do fast food, I dont eat donuts and cakes and crap. I dont do wheat. I dont do much dairy except a serving of homemade yogurt but I havent had that for quite some time. I dont do much extra fats now. I am in the 42-72gram range with my fat.
Just so frustrating.
I do feel better. I think I am getting all the nutrition I need. I sleep fine, for the most part. I havent gotten sick like everybody else. And I always feel like I am making progress. That is why I dont notice this schit until months have passed and I start looking at my charts. I can see muscles in my legs. My tummy is flatter. I really do feel better. But I am wearing the same britches. So I guess I will see what the tape measure says in the morning.
UGGGHH and ARRGGHHH
Just so frustrating. Did I say that already?

Hey, I feel your pain! Try this: Eat 2 pounds of potatoes a day for 3 or 4 days. Be strict about it. That will be about 1000 calories a day.
Then, start the weightloss version of PHD, keeping to 1300 calories by eating 1/2 pound of potato, 2 medium sized, very green bananas, and 1/2 pound of meat of your choice. That will be about 1000 calories, you can pick about 250-300 more calories from whatever you want...eggs, cheese, nuts...don't eat any other fruit or leafy stuff.
Do this version of PHD for 2 weeks, and I guarantee you will be to a new low. You should do just fine on 1300 calories. Keep all the leafy and green veggies and sweet fruit out of the picture for a while, they may be bloating you.
One thing to keep in mind about your current situation, if you are maintaining, you have to change something. If you are gaining without eating a lot more, it is just likely to be water weight/bloat from something you are eating. Pears do it to me, but it's not that you are getting fat again, even though it feels like it.
Good luck!
Well, I have been having more Brussels sprouts lately, almost daily for the last week or two maybe even, now that I think about it. In fact, eating the last few now. So then those will be out of the house.
Okay, Dr. Otzi. Send me a bill for services rendered. I will be back for my check up
Seriously, thank you. Common sense should tell me that. And probably what I would have told someone else, but when it is your own self, I lose common sense I guess.
I find if I start putting on weight, it's usually something I am eating new. For instance, our local store had a huge display of pears, we bought several different kinds and I ate 2-3 a day for a couple days and put on almost 5 pounds and was really gassy. Cut them out and back to normal in 2 days without any changes. Same if I eat crap sweet stuff like milk chocolate and fudge.
I have only stated I was going to be on it today, and I already lost 1.8lbs! haha
I guess it was the Brussels sprouts. Never made the connection before. We have had them most daily for quite a few number of days, which I had been gaining for the last 4 days or so..... So that's a shame. They are so tasty and easy to fix, and reasonably priced per pound.
I guess I need to remember this before any swimsuit competition.

Indian man's body found in UAE
By IANS - DUBAI
Published: 01st October 2013 04:08 PM
Last Updated: 01st October 2013 04:08 PM
The body of a 62-year-old Indian man was recovered from a residential apartment building in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The body of the man, identified only by his name's initials CB and who is from the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, was spotted by neighbours around 11 a.m. Monday in the premises of Eldorado Cinema building on Electra Street in UAE's capital Abu Dhabi, the Gulf News reported.
According to the report, the man was living on the 10th floor of the building with his wife, identified as GB, 56, for about a year.

ME, Barbara Edmondson - FROM STUDENT TO TEACHER:
I've taught sewing for 5 years and my business did very well. I started creating simple patterns for first time sewers that are very easy to follow, mainly because I couldn't find any I was happy with to teach beginners from, and have seen that my students like my patterns. I take quite some time to write up a pattern & have my patterns proofread to help me edit before I offer them for sale. I hope you enjoy sewing from them as well as my students.
Many pattern companies print lovely photos but their instructions are lacking detail. I want to make patterns that are easy for the those people (any age as long as they can read) first time who are new to sewing. Then of course they'd be super easy for people who already can sew.
I love creating things. I like sewing, knitting, crocheting, and paper crafting. I also like photography.
I live in Texas, just northwest of Houston, in an area known as Klein (but the mailing address town is Spring).
In my sewing classes, I've taught this to many students, adults & children as young as 9 years old. No need to cut squares, No sewing little squares together, Fast to sew up! Four pages of step by step instructions with detailed drawings. T
I've taught beginning sewing for five years to ages 8 and up to adults. I saw the need for clear instructions with good diagrams/photos for beginners. You beginners can make this with these easy step my step instructions.
This is a pdf file. You can print it out on 8.5x11 inch paper. BE SURE to set print to "actual size" not "fit", or your pattern will not be the correct size. BE SURE you have Adobe Acrobat Reader (which you can download for free http://www.adobe-reader.org/).
* By purchasing this pdf pattern, you are agreeing to not sell this pattern, distribute it for free, make copies, or in any way imply that you are the author/designer. You have my permission to print it for yourself. Not permission to email to others or make copies for others. You have my permission to make up and sell your finished items.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- The Alabama Senate today postponed action on a bill to tighten the law on former legislators lobbying in the State House.
Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, asked for the delay on his bill when Sen. Hank Sanders, D-Selma, proposed an amendment. Sanders wants to expand the scope to apply to former governors and other public officials.
Marsh said he was glad to consider amendments but said he had committed to discussing any changes with the staff of the Alabama Ethics Commission. Marsh scheduled a Wednesday meeting with them, so the bill could return to the Senate floor Thursday.
Today was the third day of the legislative session and the first day either chamber could pass bills.What they did:
The House passed business-friendly tax bills that
were part of the "Commonsense Conservative" agenda of the Republican caucus. Among those are bills that would:
-- Give the Department of Revenue the ability to suspend taxes that cost more to collect than they bring in.
The Senate passed six bills with little or no opposition. Among those were bills that would:
-- Propose a constitutional amendment to ban unfunded mandates for local school systems, with some exceptions.
-- Amend the Open Meetings Act to allow members of public boards to participate in meetings remotely through telephone conference of video conference under certain circumstances.Coming up:
The House returns at 1 p.m. Tuesday, and the Senate returns at 2 p.m.
Quote of the day:
"Grabbing it before you count it doesn't mean you are not spending it."
Sen. Dick Brewbaker, R-Pike Road, talking about the governor's proposed education budget, which reroutes sales tax money to get around a spending cap he signed into law.
Staff writer Kim Chandler contributed to this report.

Thanksgiving 2008
American Soldier says,
As America wakes up this morning they will turn on the TV to see why we are fighting in these wars. Today is supposed to be a special day for our country, to celebrate why we are thankful and to gather family. For guys like myself, I will break bread with the men that I serve with here. We'll play it off and pretend that we don't care but deep down inside we all do. We all know what it's like to be home and be with out families. That is not the case this year.
I am here now and I am thankful for being able to serve our great nation. The ability to serve is something that I wish all American's could experience. What are you thankful this year?
Although I am half a world away from my loved ones I have not forgotten what home means to me. Between the hustle and bustle of normal life I can see where people can forget what they are thankful for.
So when you break bread this afternoon, say your grace and appreciate the opportunity to be there with your family and loved ones. Don't allow the bullshit that others are trying to do to spoil your day. Turn the news off and know that those who serve will take care of this mess.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving, A.S. You and all the others who serve were very much in our thoughts today. (Did I tell you my oldest stepdaughter is a soldier with the Reserves now? She graduated basic @ Ft. Jackson in June. ) Sorry, I'm digressing (3 hrs' sleep and too much caffiene, LOL).
Seriously tho- you and your family specifically, and *all* our troops (wherever they may be scattered far & wide on this planet) were in our hearts today, and we said a prayer for y'all, and a prayer of thanks, as well.
Be safe…. and thank you.

Sorry I didn't stop by the other day to say Thanks to you directly. But you and all the men and women doing duty (civilian and military) away from their families, all of you were in our thoughts.
