The following article originally appeared on PETA Prime.
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me, "But where do you get your protein?" I might have enough money to buy a lifetime supply of tofu.
It's easy to get all the proteins that your body needs while also enjoying many of your favorite vegan foods. Ironically, what people often don't realize is that in developed countries, the problem isn't that people aren't getting enough protein, it's that they're getting too much! Eating excessive amounts of animal protein has been linked to the development of endometrial, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. By replacing animal protein with plant protein, you can improve your health while enjoying a wide variety of delicious foods-and you won't have to worry about taking protein supplements.
Nutrition experts estimate that most of us need between 0.8 and 1 gram of protein per day for every kilogram of body weight. That works out to 55 grams of protein per day for someone who weighs 150 pounds or approximately 10 percent of normal caloric intake (people in endurance training and pregnant women might require a bit more, of course). If a vegan eats a reasonably varied diet and consumes a sufficient amount of calories, he or she will undoubtedly get enough protein. And, unlike animal protein, plant-based protein sources contain healthy fiber and complex carbohydrates.
Our bodies are made up mostly of different kinds of protein that consist of varying combinations of 20 amino acids. Only half of these amino acids can be manufactured by the human body. The other half, which are known as "essential amino acids," can easily be obtained by eating a balanced vegan diet.
While virtually all vegan foods contain some amount of protein, soybeans are protein powerhouses. Soybeans contain all the essential amino acids and surpass all other plant foods in the amount of protein that they can deliver to humans. Other rich sources of non-animal protein include legumes, nuts, seeds, food yeasts, and freshwater algae.
The following is a partial list of vegan foods and their percentage of total calories from protein (value per 100 grams edible portion), according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, 2009:
Almonds 15%Barley 14%Broccoli (raw) 33%Buckwheat 15%Hard red wheat 15%Kidney beans (raw) 58%Lentils (raw) 34%Mushrooms (raw) 56%Mustard greens (raw) 41%Peanuts 18%Pumpkin seeds 18%Soybeans (raw) 35%Spinach (raw) 50%Tomatoes 19%Wild rice 16%Watercress (raw) 84%
A note on combining proteins: This practice was once put forth as the only way for vegans to ensure that they were getting enough protein. It was thought that it was necessary for vegans to plan meals in such a way as to always complement a food low in protein with one high in protein, but this theory has pretty much been debunked. Even the original advocate of combining proteins, Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for Small Planet, eventually recanted her theory and concluded that acquiring protein from a plant-based diet was "much easier" than she had thought.
Today, with such a wide range of vegan products available, there is likely to be something out there to satisfy everyone's taste. Tofu and tempeh can be used as meat substitutes in recipes, and prepackaged faux meats made from soy or wheat protein-such as veggie hot dogs, veggie burgers, mock ribs, and faux jerky-can be found in many grocery stores. Alternatives to dairy products, such as vegan cheese and nondairy ice cream, are also widely available. Getting all the protein that you need through a vegan diet is not only easy but also delicious!
What's your favorite vegan protein-packed food?

In A National Park
My wife and I made love out in the open at midday on a large flat rock in a National Park meadow. It was perfect weather and a perfect setting to take a break from hiking and make love. No one saw us; we were off the trail. Now, we can't find our "love rock." There must be millions of couples who have made love out in the open like that in daylight in a National Park. It's is probably illegal, but I have never heard of anyone getting arrested for doing it. -Kevin, 35

Which anime needs to stop being showed?
I know there are alot of animes out there that are good and bad. And that there are some that are pointless and need to just stop bein showed.
Or have just lost that touch that they used to have and are quickly failing. Anyways.. For me the anime that needs to stop being showed is One Piece, because they've completely ruined all of the original voice talent that they had and they really don't have much of a storyline anymore... So what anime do you think needs to stop being showed and why?

Have you even watch One Piece? When you said they really don't have much of a storyline anymore, that means you watched the latest episode right? Cause episode 393, it's part of the storyline.

@ Plun:
You missed the point. The plot is entirly of one thing, getting to a big pile of treasure in a place that some dead guy said he hid it. Nobody bothered to just look under his bed for it instead. It's almost 400 episodes just for the same goal and nothing's been accomplished. Part of the story but becoming more and more usless to the plot. But so far I agree, Pokemon and One Piece. (Just think, only 5 or 6 of the pokemon series have been dubbed, when there's like 9 or more.)

On Tuesday, the Macon County Tigerettes took on the Station Camp Lady Bison. The Tigerettes were playing without Senior Kailyn Brooks, who was out with a sickness. The Tigerettes would squeak out a victory, beating the Lady Bison 66-59. This was a great game, and it showed that the Tigerettes can win under the wire.
Everyone who went out to support the Tigerettes knew from the first half that this was going to be a close game. The Tigerettes played a good first quarter. They were winning big after the first quarter. However, in the second quarter, the Tigerettes began falling behind, shooting shots they shouldn't have attempted. However, they still had the lead 28-23 at the half.
The second half was one of the best halves that the Tigerettes have played all season. The Lady Bison came out and knocked a lot of the shots they attempted. The game was tied 40-40 after the third quarter. However, in the fourth quarter, the Tigerettes put the clamps down and put the Lady Bison into extinction, winning the game 66-59.

The Mayor's Management Report shows what many New Yorkers already feel: that while the number of major crimes has decreased since the 2003 fiscal year, there is an uptick since last year.
"Possibly it has to do with the economy but there does seem to be an increase in kind of desperate crimes, more muggings," said one resident.
View the entire Mayor's Management Report on the NYPD and city crimes
"Is it significant enough to be worried about? Not yet," said Dick Dadey of Citizens Union. But clearly the trend has reversed itself."
Dadey said it may be due to the drop in the number of cops on the streets.
"We know the correlation as New Yorkers. We feel it on the street," he said. "When there's been stronger enforcement and more cops on the beat, crime has dropped. We also know that with city budget cuts, there are fewer police officers and we can see evidence of the fact that there are more crimes being committed. So there may be a correlation."
But there's another trend in response time. Firefighters and emergency medical units are arriving faster than ever before. But the average response time by police to crimes has increased by about a minute and a half since the 2003 fiscal year.
Has anybody noticed?
"I definitely feel safer than how I was a year ago," said one resident.
New York City remains one of the safest big cities in the United States but these numbers are a good starting point for future budget talks and of the impact of budget cuts on crime.
The mayor says the overall picture is clear: city services have improved in 10 years, even as funding has been cut.

The trial court incorrectly held an insurance company in contempt of court on the basis that the company's representatives at a settlement conference did not have full authority to settle the insured's underinsured motorist claim. The insurer's contractual obligation to pay underinsured benefits arose only after the primary insurer offered policy limits. The representatives' instructions [...]

Nashville to reconfigure sewer grates for better bicycle safety
There's a push to fix something dangerous bordering Nashville's streets. While it could cost taxpayers nearly $2 million, that could actually be cheaper than the alternative: a big lawsuit.

The Paper Chase – E-Invoicing's Impact on Ocean Freight Billing, June 5th, 2013, 12 PM EDT
Thursday, May 23, 2013
The ocean freight invoicing and payment process remains firmly rooted in a bygone era. Transactions are still overwhelmingly reliant on paper invoices and mailed checks, which can result in expensive inefficiencies, high dispute rates, and slow payment. What's more, there's little in the way of standardization across the two dozen or so major ocean carriers, meaning shippers and their intermediaries have to account for different formats with each of their lines. This 60-minute interactive discussion wil...

Global Trade Management Landscape: Strategies Beyond Compliance
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
The increasing volume and complexity of global trade has placed demands on global trade managers that are amplified by broadened regulations affecting that trade.

But GTM is about more than just compliance – it's about integrating the financial, regulatory, and transportation components of a supply chain through enhanced processes and the best people. The report explores five challenges universal to global trade manageme...
Demystifying Liner Shipping Webinar: Understanding how carriers manage capacity and schedules, February 14, 2013, 11 AM EST
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
A shoe manufacturer knows that when sales for its products slow in winter, it needs to reduce production capacity. That could involve temporarily closing a production line for a time, removing a shift, or just slowing the speed of production. All tools to help match output to demand. Ocean carriers have the same problem: how to manage capacity to bring it in line with demand. And their problems are exacerbated by a requirement to best utilize the new super-efficient "factories" (i.e. large vessels) bein...
Webinar: The Looming Driver Shortage: How Regulations and Demand May Affect Trucking Capacity
Tuesday, February 12, 2013
A bevy of regulations is due to hit the trucking industry just as the carriers are finding it more difficult to find and retain qualified drivers. Additionally, analysts predict an uptick in U.S. GDP could create a demand spike for truckload and less-than-truckload services. These dual forces have the potential to create a significant driver shortage. A host of questions are left to be answered: How might this shortage affect shippers? What is the status of regulations affecting the trucking industry? H...

Report: Trucking market poised on knife edge
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
The U.S. domestic trucking market is finely poised, with characteristics that could push it into no growth or capacity shortage, depending on which way the wind blows, according to Noel Perry, senior consultant of the transportation analyst FTR Associates. Perry and fellow senior consultant Larry Gross gave a rundown of rail, trucking, and intermodal markets in FTR's State of Freight webinar last week.

Thursday, January 05, 2012
London-based Drewry Maritime Research estimates the container industry lost as much as $5.2 billion in 2011, despite a projected global container growth of 6.5 percent last year.

Good luck even qualifying to apply..................
For the record, I've just lowered the requirements on class forums and some other less-active forums. If you were trying to apply before and found yourself ineligible, you may want to check again.
We are still looking for people who are active members of the forums they apply for, but I know that some of the discussion has died down a bit thanks to the current state of the game and waiting for the expansion.
Good luck all
Check out my livestream over at www.twitch.tv/gorthezar I do giveaways and stuff
Guess I'm out -.-if you got infracted 5 times over the past month, you're probably out.
Good luck everyone! It's a fun job

So someone get in there and do something about it.
We're not the same ones, you and I
Oh no, you and me, we're not the same
If we were the same ones
I'd draw this knife across my throat and bleed it dry
Good luck to all applicants (and congrats to Darsithis on the new, shiny blue monicker).

Boy Scouts approve plan to accept openly gay boys
The Boy Scouts of America threw open its ranks Thursday to gay Scouts but not gay Scout leaders — a fiercely contested compromise that some warned could fracture the organization and lead to mass defections of members and donors.

To get back out here and to have a second chance, not a lot of people get one, Abdullah said. So this is a blessing.

text:
A recent phone conversation with a gentleman whose opinion on this particular subject I very much respect has had me thinking about a peculiar situation that exists among reenactors and living history types. During our discussion we talked about the various levels of quality and attention to historical detail that is available with the clothing and uniforms produced by the many different makers for our Civil War time period. I was, as usual, complaining about imports (it's not just a living history thing with me, either), particularly those from Pakistan. Needless to say, I was very critical, but the gentleman made a good point that I had not given a whole lot of consideration to. He commented that with all the higher end makers out there offering such a variety patterns and materials based on solid historical evidence, we nonetheless have a problem created by well-intended folks making purchases they're rightfully proud of, but that contribute to a distinct lack of uniformity that would surely have existed during the period we're attempting to portray. Add to that the typical small messes that may have individual uniform guidelines or recommendations are frequently joined with others to form companies at campaigner or more progressive type events and you end up with a less than optimal overall impression. To further the problem, the weapons used are also of a greater variety than a typical company would have experienced in the 1860's. It seems we've broken out of the "cookie-cutter" habit and into the "coats of many colors" habit.
The point that was being made was that the flocks of folks who rush into places like Regimental Quartermaster to uniform and arm themselves at their companys' requests are actually appearing with a more uniform presence than many of us who are plopping down big bucks to have the latest, bestest, kewlest, most accurate coat, trousers or whatever. I'm not, in any way, advocating massed purchases of Pakistani goods by the more historically inclined. What I am asking is if we are not doing ourselves a great disservice, from a historical point of view, by not paying much more attention to uniformity? This is becoming much more apparent with Federal groups, too, but the Confederates are clearly getting pretty far off the mark.
I'd be interested to hear what others think.

A Corrective Footnote to an Otherwise Good Deed
While New York state takes the social lead in legalizing gay marriage, I think it's appropriate to also give props to the professional athletes who have joined the proactive "It Gets Better" video campaign. Grant Hill, Kevin Youkilis, Matt Cain, Barry Zito and many more, have joined the cause to remind LGBT teens that they have a right to live happy lives, just like the rest of the world, and that the bullying stewing from ignorance and intolerance will eventually get better.
Chicago Cubs rookie second baseman, Darwin Barney, has also joined the cause. Chicago Tribune writer Paul Sullivan, wrote a nice piece about Barney's involvement and, again, I highly commend Darwin for doing so. However, he did say something that must be corrected, something that is, at this point laughable for anyone to actually believe. He said:
"It hit home for me because … I have a few family members who are gay. There's nothing weird about it. It's a decision that you should be able to make and not be discriminated against."
Darwin Barney, being gay is not a choice. There is no decision to make, just like I did not have a decision in what color my skin would be, or how tall I would eventually become.
One is either gay, straight or all of the above. There is no choice involved.
And this is something that needs to be understood completely if things are truly going to get better.
Hate me 'cuz it's still allowed, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Jeff – Notice on the Cuuubbies video that one of Quade's coaches was a bit uncomfortable with his lines? And Quade wasn't? Hmmm….
BTW, I haven't seen the Red Sox vid. I need to find that one if it's been released.
Side note; There were two kids in Giants wear during the TC Pride parade lineup on Sunday. I'm wearing my Dodgers t-shirt going "huh?' One of the parents pointed out the "It Gets Better" vid by the Giants as motivation for them wearing it. Better than the Cuuubbies…or the Twins? Cue George Takei…
- Randy
Randy — LOL on the Quade and Cuuuuuubies tip! Haven't seen Red Sox one yet either, but a press release mentioned Youk's involvement. Very cool that someone in the Twin Cities was moved by the Giants. Impressive indeed!
The amount of professional athletes getting involved in the campaign against LGBT bullying is really awesome. Even though Barney's comment is inaccurate, I still think it's cool that he's making an effort to take a stand.
Yes, it is cool, it's just important that people realize it's natural, not a choice, something that gets lost/misunderstood because people say things like Barney did, thinking nothing of it.
Poor Darwin. He tried to do the right thing. He just didn't quite get there. LOL.
No doubt, Jane… serves as a good metaphor for the Cubbies in general.
Professional athletes range from extremely articulate, educated and well informed to the opposite end of the spectrum and everything in between. When they get together to speak about cause outside of their profession, a certain amount of hijinks are bound to ensue. Still, Barney gets an A for effort and good intentions and if the family members he mentions aren't just the oft invoked "some of my best friends…", I'm sure they will "educate" him in that special way that siblings and cousins have: *thwack* dumb ass.
– Kristen
Kristen, the extremely articulate, educated sort are rare, but I totally see your point. I'd put John Smoltz in that prior category. Dude is one of the smartest athletes I have ever heard talk. Also, mad props for the Cuuuuubie *THWACK*

This is an excellent idea, however, I have to argue that what you've created is a Christmas countdown calendar. I like that I could use this concept to make a true advent calendar (which began November 29th this year), since it seems impossible to find such a thing.
An Easy Holiday Advent Calendar For Two Bucks
December is fast approaching, and with it the Christmas season. An advent calendar is a popular holiday activity, but can often take more time or funds than we have available. Here's how the advent calendar is being incorporated this year at our house, for less than two dollars. (See also: 6 Festive, Frugal Ways to Spruce Up Your Home for the Holidays)
Cards and Envelopes
First, I went to a craft store and picked up two twelve-packs of miniature gift cards in paisley patterned Christmas colors. I've also seen these same packages of smaller gift cards at Dollar Tree. There are numerous ideas out there on the web to make your own, but I'm short on time this year, and want to keep this activity stress free.
Activities and Treats
Next, I came up with a list of activities that suit the types of things we like to participate in over the holidays. I've provided a more comprehensive suggestion list below, but a few of the sample things we'll be doing include making chocolate peppermint martinis, baking Christmas cookies while listening to holiday music, decorating the tree, and enjoying homemade eggnog while watching The Santa Clause three-movie marathon. Since we won't be back to the United States until mid December, I won't need a full twenty-five separate activities or treats. Fifteen-seventeen items will do just fine. I'm also not feeling any pressure to make sure every night involves a small gift. In fact, nearly every night is going to be a specific holiday activity. We've been on a reduced consumption and downsizing kick, and want to continue that for the holiday season, preferring to do things together at a couple.
Releasing the Concept of an Actual Calendar Format
Coming up with a creative homemade calendar is more than I have the energy for this year, so I'm putting the entire collection of sealed activity cards in a pretty holiday bowl and mixing in a few peppermint candies. That's it. We'll pull out a different envelope each evening and proceed to enjoy the activity written on the card inside. Any of the grocery items we'll need for certain activities have already been worked into the monthly grocery budget, and the movies and carols are ones we either own already or can order ahead on Netflix. Total cost for this month-long holiday activity? Two bucks.
For more suggestions on affordable activities to try with this Christmas solution, check out the list of 70 advent calendar ideas I posted over on our family blog.
Best of Wise Bread
Hi Jessica,
I'll take your word for that, and thank you for stopping by. We didn't do advent in my house growing up, and so whenever I've heard of the 25 day countdown being and advent calendar I sort of took at as gospel. You're right though, both ways are fun to use for Christmas. We're looking forward to having something to do every evening that isn't necessarily high prep or stressful. So often, we stress ourselves out getting the wrapping and baking done so we can procede to a more intricate party or activity where we will use the fruits of those labors. I like the idea of turning these things into the activities themselves, as well as doing some of the things I mentioned above.
You can also follow me on Twitter and Trek Hound.
This is a cool one Myscha. I liked that you incorporated an activity into the daily opening of the advent card. That is fun for the entire family and awesome that they are fun, stress free activities.
I have a gorgeous advent "house" made of wood with different sized doors. I buy several bags of variety pack Halloween candy a week or so after Halloween, for 75% off. I use the chocolates (kit kats, milk duds, etc.) in the tiny boxes, for each day. I have a variety of about 10 items, some repeat. Total cost: $4.50.
I save the unused candy for easter (double bubble, jolly ranchers, smarties), since they expire much later.
So.. Advent, and easter basket (sans chocolate bunny purchased later)...$4.50!

LOWER PROVIDENCE Some guys really do have all the luck.
They get to start the day with pancakes hot off the grill at Shady Maple and end it in celebration with all their friends at Chickies & Petes in between driving the worlds fastest and most desirable sports car.
If you happen to own a Corvette you already know how lucky you are.
And now an opportunity to up that good fortune for yourself and a lot of other folks is in the cards with the Fifth Annual Keystone Corvette Club Poker Run on Saturday.
The $20 entry fee for the ultimate road trip will benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research.
One of our club members has Parkinsons and many people feel strongly about this condition because someone in their family also has it, noted club vice president and route organizer Tom Neilson. We hope a cure will be coming, but in the meantime were doing this yearly event.
Theres still time to sign up for the roughly 60-mile cruise through scenic Amish country, which follows your hearty breakfast at legendary Shady Maple Smorgasbord (breakfast hours are 5 to 10 a.m.) in East Earl.
Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.
Calling on all Corvettes to ignite engines at Shady Maple makes both nutritional and navigational sense, according to Neilson, who lives in Trooper.
I make up the course myself, and Shady Maple is a good place for a lot of cars to meet, he said. Its just easier for us to start at Shady Maple and come back to Valley Forge rather than the other way around. They have food, etc., etc. at Shady Maple and its easy to get to King of Prussia backwards.
Shifting into reverse in this case means heading to a town called Willow Street, about 26 miles southeast of Shady Maple, then on to Twin Brook, Marsh Creek, Valley Forge and finally, Audubon.
The National Council of Corvette Clubs, which sets the rules for the ride, indicates that there must be at least five stops on the route, noted Neilson.
At each stop the driver gets a playing card and then moves on to the next stop, he explained. At the end, which is Chickies & Petes in Audubon, they have an additional opportunity to drop three cards and answer a question that they learned along the way. They can drop two cards for $5 apiece and make up a hand. They end up with five cards and the best poker hand wins.
Corvettes will be corralled in the side parking lot at Shady Maple (banquet entrance), where theyll be given a tech check for working headlights, steering, turn signals and other things, Neilson said.
Cars are dispatched about four at a time, arriving at their C&P destination in Audubon around 3 p.m.
With ample parking, the sports bar/restaurant that opened in the former Ninety Nine restaurant on Shannondell Boulevard last November, is the perfect spot to culminate the day of cruising fun, he noted.
Chickies & Petes has been phenomenal in helping us with this, said Neilson, a doubly lucky guy who owns two Corvettes: a black 1990 ZR-1 and an Electron Blue 2002 coupe.
The cars and the camaraderie are the best part of the day, he added.
Contact Tom Nielson at 215-880-1875 or email@example.com.

The MacArthur Foundation award provides support to develop and implement a broad and multi-faceted Future Strategies Plan, which will enable CDF to heighten the program's visibility, diversify its funding pool, and enhance creative development opportunities for dancemakers, and the Chicago dance community as a whole.

Tabata "I see him.. [Clemente] my superstar"
To Jose Tabata, 21 is not just another number. It means so much more to him than that.
Tabata, for the first time got to the opportunity to meet Vera Clemente, widow of Roberto Clemente, as well as his two sons Roberto Jr. and Luis earlier in the week for Roberto Clemente Day.
"I talked to Luis a little bit about Roberto. I told him he was my superstar" since childhood, Tabata tried to explain in his second language. "I told him I loved Roberto because he did everything for everybody."
"I see him..my superstar", Tabata said.
He even showed the Clemente family a photo of the tattoo he has of Clemente across his chest.
Luis Clemente responded by saying
Is it one of Tabata's goals to one day be nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award?

2 Months of Joy
Thanks to everyone who sent postcards. We'll post some pictures of all the cards and birthday bash soon.
This week brought an all-new round of triumphs and challenges. Eliot has finally had more success going to the bathroom. After quite a bit of experimentation, he is doing much better in this department. Also, he has done well with his increased feedings and continues to add rolls faster than a Baptist potluck. Finally, after many dead ends, we were thrilled to find a food pump that better suits Eliot's needs.
Eliot has had a stopped up nose this week, which may sound inconsequential, but has made some things more difficult. Breathing, feeding, and resting can all be frustrated by a runny nose. Feel free to offer up a prayer for the little guy's nose. With that said, Eliot is doing well and continues to amaze.
As you can see from the pictures, Eliot has managed to suck his thumb. We saw his desire to do so develop about 2 weeks ago, and we would give him a little help. Because his hand is clenched, getting the thumb actually in the mouth was quite a task. We tried not helping him to see what he would do, and, although, as you can see, he sometimes thumbs his chin instead, he is figuring it out.
Eliot continues to teach, and we continue in our pursuit to pass on the lessons learned.
I must admit that, until recently, I have never longed for heaven. Don't get me wrong, it has always been somewhere I eventually wanted to be; it sounded great and all, but, honestly, I enjoy the here and now just fine. I looked at heaven as through a telescope. It was a nice place, not too distant, the surface of which reminded me of my current surroundings.
Scripture describes the feelings that we as believers should have for the afterlife with these words: longing, burdened, & groaning. Whatever my affections for heaven were, these words would not be an apt description for them.
Enter Eliot…he is my reminder, my illumination. This world is out of kilter. Not quite right. Eliot's head bobs with each breath. His heart has a hole in it. The list continues from there.
For the first time, I long for heaven. I want to be there. I want it worse than any desire that I have ever experienced. This world will no longer suffice. I am restless for that which lies beyond.
Eliot has revealed the distance from earth to the afterward. He has taken my telescope and fashioned a magnifying glass- and the true distance from here to home has been exposed.
so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life…
We…would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

Happy 2 month birthday, Eliot.
Your thoughts on heaven and the way your precious son has put it into a different perspective brought tears to my eyes. It's amazing how our children can change us when they are just babes. - 5:58 AM

Happy 2 Miraculous Months to sweet Eliot! Your post was so moving; a perspective that really gripped my heart.
Good morning from the Arnspergers. We can relate to the heaven perspective. Abigail was my telescope that made me realize that it was the place that we wanted to be...
Praise the Lord beautiful Eliot is 2 months old! Happy birthday! - 8:27 AM
- Peach said...
Happy, happy 2 months, Eliot, Matt and Ginny.
Thank you for the insight on heaven. I've not been "burdened or "groaning" for heaven either. May Eliot give us all perspective and a longing for our eternal home. - 8:40 AM
Happy 2 month birthday, Eliot.
Happy 2 Months Eliot!!! How cute that he loves his thumb! We long for heaven with y'all. Thank you Matt for the reminder..this is not our home! We continue to pray-
Rachel (Jeff and Samuel too) - 9:59 AM
Happy 2 months! What an amazing journey parenting is and what an amazing testament the three of you are to our Lord. May God continue to bless you and your sweet little boy.
Love and prayers,

I rejoice in Eliot mostly for what he has taught you (and us) about God. He is a precious gift in and of himself, yet his Father has chosen to use him in ways far beyond his helpless mortality. Your thoughts this week were fairly amazing, Matt. I pray you and Ginny enjoy countless more birthdays with Eliot!
HAPPY HAPPY TWO MONTH BIRTHDAY, ELIOT! Oh, how I cannot wait to see you all again! Have a great cookout and celebration tonight! Your words about Heaven are wonderful--thank you for a great reminder. We love you!
Kate and Wes Walker - 5:25 PM
Happy 2 month Birthday, Eliot!
Hope you all enjoy the cookout! Thanks for being brave enough to confess that before Eliot, you didn't long for heaven like God wants us to. I have the same confession, though every now and then God takes me through something that increases my desire for it. I still have a ways to go in that area. Isn't amazing how freeing it feels to be in a difficult situation and long for heaven? Thank you for sharing your life and lessons with us each Wednesday!
Praying for y'all,
Amy and Matt D. (friends of Cary Murphy) - 6:15 PM
I couldn't wait to read the update to see how little Eliot was doing on his birthday! Happy, happy birthday, Eliot! I hope your mailbox was FULL of birthday wishes--you make our lives fuller through your story. My family continues to pray for you. We'll be praying that your little nose clears up quickly so you can breathe, eat and sleep more and keep adding on those rolls!
Natalie, Dwayne, and Meryt Benson - 6:35 PM

Happy Birthday Eliot! So glad you have found your thumb!! Getting cuter by the day.:) My family is still praying for you and your family. I have to admit though, I forgot to send you a birthday card.:( But I tell everyone I know about your amazing life (and parents) and make sure they continue to pray for you. Keep your Mom in line and make sure she teaches you how to dance if you should ever go to Boomers.

- Jenn said...
Thank you for sharing and for allowing us to learn from you!
To long for heaven & home is a wonderful gift to give your sweet baby boy on his two month birthday. I'm praying God lengthens every hour with him and that He continues to prove that His purpose for Eliot is great.
Happy birthday, Eliot! You are spoken of often and I am learning from you, too.
Love you, friends. - 5:55 PM

What a touching, heartfelt, and (for me, atleast) gut wrenching posting - I am in tears. I hope that Eliot got the birthday card that we sent to him. We continue to think of you all often.
Julie, Kristian, and John Patrick Jones - 9:27 AM
Thank you Matt and Ginny for sharing Eliot and your lives with us. You three are a real blessing to us all.
Love, Mrs. Leigh - 11:36 AM
Happy 2 month birthday Elliott!
Thanks for sharing all that you are learning. You are also teaching others that don't even know you through this situation.
Thanks, Wendy - 1:33 PM
Happy #2 little man. I was told of this family by Christy Farmer at our community group a couple of nights ago. You guys are amazing. It sounds as though you are surrounded by amazing people. I find these blogs to be inspirational in many different ways. I can never quench the stories of families that embrace situations and praise God for circumstances others would pray against. God has blessed you and He has blessed us by connecting us all together. You three are very special.
- Monica said...
HAPPY BELATED 2 MONTH BIRTHDAY, ELIOT!! I pray for you all daily. I look forward to seeing Eliot's growth and accomplishments every Wednesday. I also read in amazement at your reliance on our Father God. You and Ginny have a relationship with God that many people will never know. If just one person comes to know Him through the both of you and Eliot, it will be such a great blessing. Bless all of you today ane every day!
Monica McKenzie Tolson - 3:41 PM
Matt, Ginny, and Eliot,
Happy 2 Month B-Day Eliot!!! Hopefully our card made it to your celebration in time. As you know, no matter how good my intentions, deadlines and me sometimes don't match up. Just in case it didn't make it, I'll sum it up. Eliot, YOU THE MAN!!! God has used you to teach us, grow us, and challenge each of us in ways that were not thought of two months ago. May God continue to sustain your needs and allow you to live a life as big as He is. - 3:58 PM
Again, I am so grateful to know each of you and to experience some of the journey with you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers many, many times since I saw you last week. Ephe. 6:10 May God continue to strengthen you with His great power!!!!!
Beth - 11:46 AM
- Scott Cable said...
Hey guys, I love you so much and know that there are so many people who are praying for you right now. I know that Eliot has been an incredible blessing to countless people, what an amazing and precious tool in the Lord's hand he has been.
- Tami in MT said...
I hope it's not too late to post!! I am new to your blog, but not to your story. I first saw 99 Balloons when it was first made. I've seen it many, many times since - just to see your sweet little guy. I want you to know I admire you as parents - you did everything possible for Eliot and loved him every second of his life.
I saw your story on Oprah today as well - and I cried again.
I'm so happy that you've got your daughter and she's got an older brother looking after her (I've got a younger one).
God Bless and thank you for sharing Eliot with us! - 10:07 PM

Finding the perfect nude nail polish for your skin tone can be as tricky as finding your ideal foundation shade. Here's how to pick a color without looking like a corpse
Skin tone: fair
JINsoon Nail Polish in Nostalgia, $18, is a classic pinky-beige. The best thing about this polish is the incredible, glassy shine and chip-resistant formula. On fair skin, it looks feminine, not trying-too-hard stylish. And actually, the shade is super-flattering on all skin tones.SEE NEXT PAGE: Skin tone: medium

Ease the sippy cup transition, with this true, hard-to-find, training cup! No sippy spout here—the removable lid has cutouts all around, which limits beverage flow and minimizes mess, but otherwise handles like a big-kid cup. Once your child masters the art of drinking from a cup, remove the training lid, and it's a great beginner's cup. Trainer cup is translucent, with non-slip grips. Holds 7 ounces. For ages 12 months and up. Dishwasher safe. Please note: While this product is safety tested for kids 12 mos. and up, we recommend use for kids approximately 2 or 3 years old or when your child is ready to start transitioning to a big kid cup.

Good Training Cup
By Grace's Mommy

Comments about OXO Toddler Training Cup GREEN:
My daughter loves learning with this cup. I would recomend only using it while closely supervising your child - my daughter likes to dump the whole cup on her tray or the table.
This cup is KEY

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
My 4 year old autistic son struggled with migrating over to a regular cup -- always insisting on sippy cups. He wouldn't even touch a regular cup or allow someone to help him with a regular cup. Thankfully, his pre-k teacher introduced us to the OXO Toddler Training Cup. He felt safe drinking from it because it looks like a sippy cup (which, it kind of is). The clear shield inside made him feel comfortable yet was able to see the liquid as he drank. A WEEK after using it, he was using a regular cup like a PRO. I would recommend this to anyone who has a child that is completely resistant to using a regular cup AND to those who don't but want a faster transition.

Not worth it!
By ari's mommy
from Newburyport, MA
I was so excited about this product because I thought it was a great idea! But, it didn't work at all!! You might as well have used a regular cup...
Works great

I have been trying to get my son off the sippy cup's, all though he just turned two, i felt it was time and plus he did try to drink from a reg cup before,so i decided to bring this out and he got a hold of his and did great, first we did water and if it spelled i didn't care about it, but now that he's got a hang of it, we use it more then his sippy cups, and we take his sippy cups out ,and use the cups at hm. for now!
Not for 1 yr olds but will be useful....
By Mrs. B

I bought this for my 13 month old who will not drink milk out of a sippy cup hoping this might help. The holes in the top are large and there is no way to "spill proof" the contents. The first thing my daughter did was tilt the cup back too far and milk was all over her face, the floor, etc. It was also hard for her to hold. I gave this item 3 stars because I would imagine that this cup will be helpful in a few months when we begin to transition her to a bigger cup. For now, we are back to sippy cups.
Great Transition to Regular Cup
By Amber
from Nashville, Tn
My daughter just turned three and I am phasing out the sippie cups so this is perfect. Before she used it for the first time I showed her in the sink how it was a "big girl" cup and could spill so she had to be careful and she has done a great job. She loves using this cup.

This product was no more effective than drinking from an actual cup. First time my son used it he was covered in milk.

Cleaner Drinks
By Tygress

Not really different from a regular drinking cup. However, I love that the plastic lid prevents my little one from sticking her utensils/hands/food into her drink.

Not that great
By Stay at home Sara
from Minneapolis, MN
I was being optimistic when I purchased one, hoping it would help my daughter move away from sippy cups. Unfortunately, most of her milk spilled from the multiple openings all the way around the lid. The design could be improved if there were fewer openings in the lid; as it is, too much flows out. I would not recommend this to a friend.

Seems ok
By Busy mom
from rochester, mn
Seems like it would be a good product if I could get my daughter to use it. She is still very attached to her sippy cup. It is easy to use and you can just put it in the dishwasher.
By mellymel

I bought this cup to help my son transition from a normal sippy cup, but it doesn't really do what the description says. There are cut-outs on the top but the fluid just flows freely to the top of the cup when it's tilted up for a drink-my son several times got way too much water in mouth. It's like using a regular glass or cup. I only used it a couple of times but that was enough. The cup is very well-made and durable and easy to clean, but something needs to be changed to make it more effective. Some kind of a valve to slow the fluid would be good.
HORRIBLE-Don't even bother with this.
By Aunt of Twins

About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
The ad makes it sound like this cup will have a small opening for the toddler to drink from to learn how to use a cup. Actually, it has several small openings. Giving that to a young child is about the same as giving them a sieve tp play with.

Water flows!
By The Tall One
from Midlothian, VA
I bought this to use instead of a sippy cup as I've been having problems with my daughter in this transition. The product is advertised that the holes around the lid slow the flow...my experience is that they don't...AT ALL! It's a great cup, just not if you are worried about your child spilling the contents!

would buy for older kids
By katie
from seymour il
the cup is good for my 2 1/2 year old, but my 1 year old still throws cups on the floor when he is done and the valve in the cup comes undone and then it spills everywear. So fine for older, not so good if still in the drop and mommy pick up stage.
did not work as expected
By Sarah liz

This cup does not work as well as I thought it would. Liquid flows out of it as fast as a normal cup. It does not minimize spills.
