This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Code Name: Mama and Hobo Mama. This month our participants have shared their parenting practices and how they fit in with their parenting purpose. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
This is one in a series of guest posts by other bloggers. Read to the end for a longer biographical note on today's guest blogger, my partner and husband, Sam. Sam took on my CarNatPar post for me and elucidated one current and telling aspect of our overall parenting philosophy.
Guest post by Crackerdog Sam
One of Lauren's and my parenting philosophies is to let our children learn via trial and error, experimentation, and exploration (within safe boundaries, of course). Rather than introducing the rules of how or even why things must be done, which presents only options of compliance or noncompliance, we give our children (well, child, really, as Alrik's not really up for decision-making yet) room to discover and decide for themselves how to interact with the world.
Fresh on my mind is our introduction of an allowance for Mikko, an experiment just two weeks old. We weren't sure if this was the right time to start, as Mikko doesn't really understand math yet, but our hope was that having his own money to spend would be part of his beginning to understand math. Secondarily, as Mikko is quite good at begging for treats and toys every time we're out running errands, we thought that giving him his own money and telling him that he could save it up to buy something big he likes would teach him about the pleasure of delayed gratification.
Neither of our stealthily disguised lessons have yet borne fruit, but in just a few short weeks Mikko has discovered and implemented a host of other concepts about commerce, relationships, and life:
- Cooperative purchasing. The very first day, Mikko found he didn't have enough money left to buy a drink he wanted. I assumed that he would reject the rules of the allotted money per day and just demand to have one, especially with the concept being only hours old. Instead he suggested that we could pool our resources (that I could use some of my allowance) to get the drink and share it. We did.
- Generosity. Mikko's always been eager to share some of whatever he has with us, especially food (perhaps because a large part of what he eats is shared off our plates). I wondered if this would disappear once he "owned" whatever he'd purchased, but, so far, he gets disappointed if we won't take a bite of whatever he has.
- Deficit spending. This one perhaps qualifies as begging, but last week at the grocery store he wanted an entire bag of Dum-Dums, but was 50 cents short. (Hey, it's his money.) I told him we could come back tomorrow and get it once he had more money, but he deduced, on his own, that he could pay himself back the next day with the new money coming in. Now, you can get into trouble doing that too often in real life, but I was impressed he put the idea together himself and let him. So far he hasn't abused the idea and hasn't even attempted to use it again. (He's also shared his Dum-Dums with five people so far, and counting.)
- Discovering the great deal that is public services. At the library he asked how much it would cost to get a book, and I explained to him that it was free to check out books as long as we gave them back when they needed them. He's always been a fan of going to the library but now that it's a place of unlimited treats that don't count against his pocketbook, he loves it even more. (He doesn't actually have a pocketbook, of course. He uses a little black coin purse.)
- Compromise. Prior to the allowance, Mikko's idea of compromise was for him to get his own way. He wouldn't be happy if I said I'd buy him a Matchbox car — he needed two different colors of cars. Now that he's negotiating against a level of reality, though, and even though he doesn't completely get the math yet, he will ask how many of each thing he can buy, and then work out a way to get the maximum amount and variety of things that will make him happy within the budget. I'm actually a bit stunned at the enormity of this shift to have taken place in such a short timeframe.
- Working out an objective. Mikko used to ask for virtually anything he saw that immediately struck his eye. Now he's thinking a little more long-term. He's been asking for a mask for a few weeks now, which started because Max the bunny on the TV wears one when he plays superhero. These are the kinds of requests that he makes often as soon as a show is over and usually fade within the span of minutes. But in this case he held onto the idea, and a few days later told me after watching a vacation commercial that a snorkel mask would be a good superhero mask. I nodded of course and said it would, and thought nothing more of it. After inadvertently saving up some money (for once we didn't go to a store for three days straight), he found and bought himself a snorkel mask. I'm still amazed at the level of follow-though he had on that goal. We are currently having to pretend that a stranger has entered the house whenever the snorkel mask is on and be surprised that Mikko is behind the disguise.
There are many things Mikko hasn't yet learned from an allowance: intentionally saving toward something, waiting to go to another store to buy the same thing for cheaper, how quarters and dimes are a subset of a dollar and not on par with the dollar, etc. I'm sure such concepts will come to him in time. But the most important things aren't teaching the ins and outs of math and money, but giving over to Mikko some measure of power over his choices, letting him make small decisions and then evaluate for himself whether they were good or not, and experiment with different ways of grappling with the need to have whatever he sees. It's not just about him discovering the world, either, but also my opportunity to discover him and his mindset and values. And, if necessary, I can step in to help and guide within a real-life context rather than have to pontificate in abstractions.
We learn by doing. We teach, best, by coming alongside during the process.
Crackerdog Sam (that's his hobo name) is a full-time work-from-home parent. He shares both the working and the parenting of four-year-old Mikko and seven-week-old Alrik with Lauren of Hobo Mama.

What Is an Indexed Annuity?
If you want to limit potential losses while participating in the potentially attractive returns of a market-driven investment but would also like a guaranteed return, an indexed annuity might be worth checking out.
The performance of indexed annuities, also referred to as equity-indexed or fixed-indexed annuities, is tied to an index (for example, the Standard & Poor's 500*). They provide investors with an opportunity to earn interest based on the performance of the index. If the index rises during a specified period in the accumulation phase, the investor participates in the gain. In the event that the market falls and the index posts a loss, the contract value is not affected. The annuity also has a guaranteed minimum rate of return, which is contingent on holding the indexed annuity until the end of the term.
The percentage of an index's gain that investors receive is called the participation rate. The participation rate of an indexed annuity can be anywhere from 50% to 90% or more. A participation rate of 80%, for example, and a 10% gain by the index would result in an 8% gain by the investor.
Some indexed annuities have a cap rate. The maximum rate of interest the annuity will earn, which could potentially lower an investor's gain.
Indexing formula
Several formulas are used to calculate the earnings generated by an indexed annuity. These indexing methods can also have an effect on the final return of the annuity. On preset dates, the annuity holder is credited with a percentage of the performance of the index based on one of these formulas.
Annual reset (or ratchet): Based on any increase in index value from the beginning to the end of the year.
Point-to-point: Based on any increase in index value from the beginning to the end of the contract term.
High-water mark: Based on any increase in index value from the index level at the beginning of the contract term to the highest index value at various points during the contract term (often anniversaries of the purchase date).
Indexed annuities are not appropriate for every investor. Participation rates are set and limited by the insurance company. Like most annuity contracts, indexed annuities have certain rules, restrictions, and expenses. Some insurance companies reserve the right to change participation rates, cap rates, and other fees either annually or at the start of each contract term. These types of changes could affect the investment return. Because it is possible to lose money in this type of investment, it would be prudent to review how the contract handles these issues before deciding whether to invest.
Most annuities have surrender charges that are assessed during the early years of the contract if the contract owner surrenders the annuity. In addition, withdrawals prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. Any guarantees are contingent on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

Happy Fourth of July week! Tomorrow we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the freedoms we have with living in the United States. This is a time to enjoy friends and family, fireworks, parades and of course, great food.
But for those dedicated to living an altruistic lifestyle, the Fourth of July can also be an opportunity to get involved and give back to our community. If you want to celebrate this Independence Day with an altruistic twist, check out some of these ideas for how you can give back to your community near and far.
1. Volunteer at a Fourth of July celebration.
One easy way to give back this Independence Day is by checking out local parades, markets or celebrations going on in your community, then get involved! Can you help coordinate the parade? What about setting up booths for a Fourth of July market? Or how about putting together a fireworks show display stand to wow the kids?
There's lots of things going on nearby, and lots of ways for you to help out. See what interests you most and then volunteer yourself or your family for a Fourth of July you will never forget, because you spent it helping others.
2. Write a soldier a thank-you.
Independence Day is a chance to honor all of the dedicated men and women who have given everything to protect and serve our country. This Fourth of July, you can personally celebrate our nation's heros by writing a soldier a thank-you card for everything they have done.
Are you having a backyard party to commemorate the day? Why not set up a card craft table for children and adults to write notes to soldiers? Then stamp them and send them off to make a soldier's day, week or month. Or, for an added bonus, consider putting together a care package with all the necessities and luxuries our heros may be missing out on while away from home.
3. Get involved with a local shelter.
Many people in your community probably don't have the resources to celebrate the Fourth of July the way they would love to. See how you can help out by getting involved with a local shelter. Sign up to help serve food, put together a fireworks show or start up a cookout for a fun, philanthropic Fourth of July that serves others.
Consider donating supplies to help celebrate the day. Have some extra fireworks laying around? Maybe an extra pack of hot dogs or bag of chips? See if it's possible to donate them to families or individuals in need. Check out local shelters in your area to see what they need and the volunteers they're looking for, then sign up yourself or your family to get started this week.
4. Invite and include a neighbor.
Finally, honor Independence Day by inviting and including your neighbors around you. The Fourth of July celebrates a time when our country came together for a common purpose, so mark the occasion by inviting others to come together in your life.
See if your neighbor next door has any plans for the day, invite a friend over for a meal or ask a family member if he or she wants to go volunteer with you. However you do it, get others involved in your festivities to have the best Independence Day ever.
This Fourth of July, live an altruistic lifestyle by getting involved and giving back. Try out some of these ideas in your own life to see how you can have a fun, caring and kind Independence Day.

Your Plan
1. Find the right representative
The experience and knowledge of a dedicated real estate professional can be priceless. A good Realtor® forms a powerful team with his or her clients that makes it possible for them to have a smooth, successful, stress-free sale.
2. Determine your needs/wants for the sale and for your new home
Selling your primary residence can be tricky because you have to simultaneously be thinking about where you would like to buy. First weigh your priorities – selling price is certainly important, but having a quick and efficient sale can often be worth accepting a slightly lower offer. Talk to Chris and Geneviève and make sure you're comfortable with where your priorities are.
At the same time, you should be compiling a needs/wants list for the home you will buy. You will probably have to act fairly quickly when your house sells, so any amount of preparation you can do will serve you well.
3. Prepare your house for showing
Underprepared homes can be sales disasters. Your home will never get as much attention from potential buyers as when it is first listed, so clearing clutter, cleaning, making repairs, and putting your home's best foot forward is essential. Don't "open for business" until your home is ready to be seen as favorably as possible. Chris and Geneviève will be happy to guide you with the appropriate staging steps to take.
4. Find out what your local market looks like
Being realistic about your market is the key to a smooth sale. There is no substitute for a professional real estate representative when it comes to local market knowledge.
5. List away!
Lots of photos and online exposure are the key to getting a good response for your listing. Working with Chris and Geneviève who use Point2 Agent software and many more other websites are great step in the right direction. Now just "open" the house and sit back and wait for the flood of eager buyers!

Why can't deacons confer Anointing of the Sick?
28 comments:
Fr. Ryan, can you explain why the Church asks that those who are anointed confess mortal sins at a later time? And what if they fail to? Are those mortal sins efficaciously forgiven?
- February 14, 2012 at 10:03 AM
Great article Father. Quick question, Do you have a reference for Trent teaching that Extreme Unction remits Mortal sins?
It seems like the Catechism of Trent says the opposite:
"Pastors, therefore, should teach that by this Sacrament is imparted grace that remits sins, and especially lighter, or as they are commonly called, venial sins; for mortal sins are removed by the Sacrament of Penance. Extreme Unction was not instituted primarily for the remission of grave offences; only Baptism and Penance accomplish this directly." - February 14, 2012 at 11:00 AM
I've also heard it speculated - quite rightly, to my mind - that the reason only a priest can anoint is because only a priest can make present the sacrifice of the Cross as sacrifice. He makes present the sacrifice of Calvary on the altar in the Eucharist, makes present the sacrifice of Calvary in the death of perfect contrition in Confession, and makes present the sacrifice of Calvary actually in the suffering person themselves by transforming their suffering into the Paschal suffering of Christ. The sacrament of Anointing is a consecration (thus why oil is used) that through the power of the Spirit allows the suffering person to be offered in union with the sacrifice of Christ, and prepares the body of that person for final resurrection. ("May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up.") That is why only a priest can do it - it is a consecratory sacrifice and presence of the Paschal Mystery. Its connection to the Cross and Resurrection of Christ also explains why danger of death is necessary for liceity.

Fr. Ryan:
I volunteer regularly in a hospital where the chaplain administers Anointing of the Sick on a monthly basis to patients and those in attendance at that Mass.
I have been told that Anointing is to be given only once for a particular illness/injury. Somewhat like Confirmation. Is this true? Is it wrong to receive it more than once?
I am 69 and have high blood pressure, heart problems, etc. but am not particularly in danger of immediate death.
Is the sacrament meant for this kind of illness?
If another illness (eg. cancer) should strike me, would it be proper to receive the sacrament again? - February 14, 2012 at 12:06 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Ray from MN,
A man can receive anointing more than once, even for the same illness.
If the sickness gets significantly worse, then the man should be anointed again (together with confession, if possible).
So, Anointing is more like Confession than like Confirmation or Baptism.
As far as your particular situation ... I would definitely say that heart problems (especially for a 69 year old with high blood pressure) is a good reason to request Anointing of the Sick.
This could then be repeated if the condition gets significantly worse. (or, as you say, if you were to get another illness)
As far as the practice of "once-per-month" ... this doesn't seem very pastoral to me ... I believe that people should be dealt with on a more individual basis, rather than just a general one-size-fits-all approach.
For some, once a month would be far too often ... for others (in certain cases) it would not be often enough.
However, at a hospital, the chaplain might be thinking that there are different people there each month.
Only those who are seriously ill should be Anointed.
Peace and blessings! + - February 14, 2012 at 3:11 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Fr. Savio,
St. Thomas Aquinas also makes this connection ... only specifying more the idea of hierarchical authority (since he has power over Christ's mystical Body through consecrating his true Body).
Thanks for the insight! + - February 14, 2012 at 3:14 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
While it is true that Confession is the primary means of forgiving all actual sins (including both mortal and venial sins), Anointing does this as well.
Because it is impossible that the "remnants" of actual sin should be washed away while the guilt remain.
Still, if the person is conscious of mortal sin and is able to confess, then he must confess before receiving Anointing ... and this is what the Catechism of Trent means to say.
I hope it is clearer now ... this was a disputed point before Trent, but is now settled. + - February 14, 2012 at 3:22 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
please use a name or pseudonym in the future.
Great question!
If a person has mortal sin and yet needs to be anointed and cannot confess (for example, he is unconscious), then he must confess as soon as possible ... but he is already forgiven through the Anointing (with the presumption of the desire to confess).
So, if a person tries to use Anointing as a way of getting out of going to confession ... they are not forgiven and they receive Anointing in a sacrilegious way.
And, generally, a person would confess any mortal sins before receiving Anointing (excepting in extreme cases -- and then the Anointing itself forgives, but the person must confess later, if able).
Finally, if the person truly does desire to confess the mortal sin later - and so receives the Anointing in good faith - but then forgets those mortal sins and never confesses them, there is no problem. At the time of the Anointing he was in good faith and so the sins are forgiven ... and, if he is able to remember them at some point, then it must confess them ... but he won't be condemned for an honest mistake.
The point is that what matters is the disposition of the person AT THE TIME OF THE ANOINTING ... if he is in good faith then (even if he were to change to bad later), the sacrament of Anointing forgives his mortal sin immediately -- but then it is a mortal sin to intentionally avoid confessing mortal sins forgiven through an emergency Anointing.
Well ... I hope all that is clear! :-) - February 14, 2012 at 3:44 PM
- Deacon Tony said...
Father Ryan,
Not being able to read what it says in James in the original language, the question arises did Jesus use the same language when he told the paralyzed man that his sins were forgiven - February 14, 2012 at 4:31 PM
- Julio Vivas said...
Is the Anointing of the Sick and the Elderly similar to the Extreme Anointing in its benefits and graces to the receiver?
- February 14, 2012 at 5:06 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Deacon Tony,
I am going to be writing about the healing of the paralytic later this week ... since it is the sunday gospel.
Briefly, the language is different, but this is definitely a place where Jesus taught us about Anointing and forgiveness of sins.

Thank you, Father.
Indeed, there generally are different people at most Anointings, but some do repeat. - February 14, 2012 at 5:13 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Julio Vivas,
If by "Extreme Anointing" you me "Extreme Unction" ... then, yes, Anointing of the Sick is the same thing.
Please feel free to write in Spanish, if it would help to make it clearer.
Peace! + - February 14, 2012 at 5:19 PM
FWIW, I believe it was Cyprian who taught (and I am certain commissioned) Deacons had the power to hear confessions and grant absolution in danger of immediate death when no priest (bishop) could be found.
Matt - February 14, 2012 at 7:49 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
St. Thomas Aquinas believed that even lay persons could hear confessions if no priests (nor even deacons) could be found.
However, it is certain (as a matter of faith) that only priests can grant absolution.
Thus, whatever St Cyprian may have taught ... a deacon does not have the power to grant absolution (not even in danger of death) ... but he can and should hear the confession if a priest is not available ... then the "confession" is a sacramental. - February 14, 2012 at 8:36 PM
Thanks Father, totally agree. I just thought Cyprian's arguments were interesting albeit flawed.
Matt - February 15, 2012 at 6:55 AM
Father, I know this is an odd question, but what about somebody who has just died (not yet cold). Could he be given Extreme Unction? I ask because I remember reading somewhere that after a plane crash, several priests from the nearby church came and gave Extreme Unction to as many people as possible.

- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
If there is a real doubt as to whether a person is alive or dead, then the priest should anoint.
In practice, this generally means that up to 30 minutes or so after presumed time of death, anointing can and should be given (excepting special cases where death is very clear).
Doctors can be wrong, and merely checking for a pulse is not totally accurate ... however, something like a study of brain activity (as they do with organ donors) is much more accurate. - February 15, 2012 at 10:51 AM
- Greg said...
Since Anointing of the Sick cannot be given to those who are not sick and are not in danger of death, can it be given to those who are NOT sick yet are still in danger of death (e.g, a criminal awaiting execution)?
Greg - February 15, 2012 at 4:58 PM
@ Father,
I have noticed that there are those who are wont to say that, while Deacons cannot administer this Sacrament by law, they can administer by Sacramental authority. In other words, there are those who assert that the Church could somehow allow deacons to administer this Sacrament. Would you like to address why this is an untenable position?
Kind Regards,
Father S. - February 16, 2012 at 4:28 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
No, Anointing of the Sick cannot be given to a criminal awaiting execution ... it is only for those who are both dying and are sick (or elderly).
... I suppose that, after the poison has been inject (for example), he could receive Anointing in those last seconds ... - February 17, 2012 at 6:43 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
@Father S,
To such I would respond that the Church lacks the "power of excellence", that is the power to make new sacraments or to change the essence of the sacraments.
While she can surely change details (like which words are used in Anointing), she cannot change the essence (like what the essential meaning of the words must be).
So also, since our Lord himself (through St. James) established that only priest confer Anointing, the Church most certainly cannot change this.
I believe further that the article above shows the internal logic of this sacrament in its connection with reconciliation ... and, since deacons cannot possibly give sacramental absolution, neither can they give Anointing. - February 17, 2012 at 6:46 AM
- Fr. John said...
Fr. Erlenbush (Catholics address clergy by last name, right?),
Interesting post. As an Orthodox priest, I had always assumed that our theology was identical in terms of this particular sacrament, although, of course, the Rites and associated prayers would be different.
However, it seems from some of what you say that not just the prayers but some of the theology is different as well.
We do not restrict unction to those in danger of death and we give it to children as well as adults.
Also, although deacons have no part in the consecration of the Unction oil, when a large number of people are being anointed, they can help distribute it.
In these particular areas of difference, do the Eastern Catholics follow the theology that you've laid out here or do they practice and teach what we do?
In Christ,
Fr. John - February 21, 2012 at 11:44 PM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Fr. John,
The Canon Law of the Eastern Catholic Church is the same as the West.
I suspect, however, that the difference between the Orthodox and Catholic theology is deeper ... involving the distinction between sacrament and sacramental. - February 22, 2012 at 11:00 AM
At this time when there is such a shortage of priests and in special circumstances such as alzheimer patients it would be a great help if lay chaplains could administer the Sacramet of the Sick and also another translation of St. James Gospel is " If anyone of you is in trouble, they should pray; If one of you is ill, they should send for the elders of the church they must anoint you with oil in the name of the Lord and pray over you." If the church insists on priests only administering this Sacrament many people will die without this Sacrament again the faithful will suffer!!!
Mgt Hill Chaplain - June 5, 2012 at 6:38 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
Mgt Hill Chaplain,
The simple fact is that the Church does not have the authority to create or change sacraments ... Christ instituted the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, just as he instituted Confession ... and if only priests can absolve sin through the sacrament of confession, then only priests can give Anointing.
The answer is not to create our own church and sacraments (as you would have us do), but rather to pray for more priests and to encourage young men to consider the priesthood.
This is my point ... it is not the Church who insists on priests only, but Christ himself ... I would ask you to re-read the article before commenting again ... you will see better the whole logic of this sacrament. - June 5, 2012 at 10:07 AM
- Catholicus said...
It was unfortunate, perhpas, that the Canon Law changed to remove the word "of death" so that it now says "in danger". I think "of death" is still implied, but the act of removing it does suggest a broadening. That said, it used to be too restrictive. A priest who was chaplain to a prison which carried out executions by hanging told me that he could't annoint until the body dropped and was swinging, and the bag placed over the person's head had a hole cut in the forehead for this very purpose.
- October 16, 2012 at 8:12 AM
- Father Ryan Erlenbush said...
A priest cannot administer anointing to a man who is on death row unless he is in danger of death from a sickness.
Hence, it is true, a priest cannot anoint a healthy man who is about to be executed ... however, he would give him confession and Viaticum. - October 16, 2012 at 5:53 PM

Peppermint and Vanilla Butter Cookies
Just as wreaths, stockings and mistletoes signify the spirit of christmas, cookies and cakes do their part in spreading the joy all around. As the festival of christmas is just a few days away, people have started baking goodies and packing them in decorative tin boxes and wrapping papers, shipping them across to their loved ones and friends, wishing them joy and success in the days to come. Some flavors and smells reign the kitchens in these festive days, including, but not limited to chocolate, peppermint, vanilla, and of course, gingerbread! Joining in the fun and having found a reason to bake more often, I decided to go for a batch of these beautiful pink and white Swirl Cookies flavored with peppermint and vanilla. I love the candy canes and the beautiful ribbon patterns that they form, but I can't take too much of peppermint in one go. So here's the perfect solution, these basic sugar cookies, with a hint of peppermint and all the goodness of the lovely colors.
1 cup butter or margarine - softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tspn vanilla essence
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tspn peppermint extract
1/4 tspn red food color
Heat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed. Stir in the flour, then divide the dough in half. Stir peppermint extract and food color into one half of dough, while keeping the other part as it is.
Now again divide each color of dough in half (making 2 white and 2 pink parts).
Now take each part of the dough, and roll it on a generously floured surface into a thick cylindrical rope, about 12 inches long. Place 2 ropes, 1 red and 1 white, side by side. Now twist them together with your hands so they get entwined. Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of dough.
Now make small balls from each double-colored dough, then shape each into a flat cookie shape. You can use a cookie cutter to give them shape, or just grease a steel bowl (katori) with oil and use this to give shape to the cookie. It should be fairly easy to do it with your hands too, just shape them like small cutlets.
Place them about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheet and allow to cool completely on the wire rack. There, your beautiful pink and white swirled cookies are ready to add a festive decor to your holiday baking!
Let's relive the spirit of Christmas; bake a batch of cookies and donate them to any organisation and then feel happy on seeing the smiles on the faces of little children. This is my contribution to the "Drop In and Decorate" event started by Lydia, and also to Susan's Christmas Cookies Event. There's no better time than Christmas to share the goodness around, and what better way to gift something than food?!!
Tip: You can store these Peppermint and Vanilla Butter cookies in an air-tight container and refrigerate them for longer use. But it's best to refrigerate the dough until you want to make the cookies rather than storing the cookies themselves.
Update: These beautiful cookies were not only selected as one of the top 10 finalists from over 212 entries in Susan's Eat Christmas Cookies event, it actually won the Best Christmas Cookie award!! Yipppeee!!! I am so thrilled!! Thanks so much to all the judges and my readers, friends, and family who picked out these cookies as the Winner! Thanks a lot to Susan, for organizing this fun event, and also for presenting me with a fabulous Sherry Yard's new cookbook Desserts By the Yard. Now you all can look forward to more delicious desserts on this blog!!

LWP::Protocol - Base class for LWP protocols

This class is used a the base class for all protocol implementations supported by the LWP library.
When creating an instance of this class using
, and you get an initialised subclass
appropriate for that access method. In other words, the
LWP::Protocol::create() function calls the constructor for one of its
All derived LWP::Protocol classes need to override the request()
method which is used to service a request. The overridden method can
make use of the collect()
function to collect together chunks of data
as it is received.
The following methods and functions are provided:
The LWP::Protocol constructor is inherited by subclasses. As this is a virtual base class this method should not be called directly.
Create an object of the class implementing the protocol to handle the given scheme. This is a function, not a method. It is more an object factory than a constructor. This is the function user agents should use to access protocols.
Get and/or set implementor class for a scheme. Returns '' if the specified scheme is not supported.
$response = $protocol->request($request, $proxy, undef); $response = $protocol->request($request, $proxy, '/tmp/sss'); $response = $protocol->request($request, $proxy, \&callback, 1024);
Dispatches a request over the protocol, and returns a response object. This method needs to be overridden in subclasses. Refer to the LWP::UserAgent manpage for description of the arguments.
Called to collect the content of a request, and process it appropriately into a scalar, file, or by calling a callback. If $arg is undefined, then the content is stored within the $response. If $arg is a simple scalar, then $arg is interpreted as a file name and the content is written to this file. If $arg is a reference to a routine, then content is passed to this routine.
The $collector is a routine that will be called and which is responsible for returning pieces (as ref to scalar) of the content to process. The $collector signals EOF by returning a reference to an empty sting.
The return value from collect()
is the $response object reference.
Note: We will only use the callback or file argument if $response->is_success(). This avoids sending content data for redirects and authentication responses to the callback which would be confusing.
Can be called when the whole response content is available as
$content. This will invoke collect()
with a collector callback that
returns a reference to $content the first time and an empty string the

Eric Rickart, Ph.D.
Curator of Vertebrates
As the Museum's Curator of Vertebrate Zoology, Eric Rickart has devoted more than 30 years studying the origins and preservation of biological diversity, both regionally and globally. His research has involved historical biogeography, community ecology, and evolution of mammals in island systems where geographic isolation makes the patterns of diversity more apparent. In collaboration with Dr. Lawrence Heaney and Danilo Balete from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Dr. Rickart conducts research on the remarkably diverse and highly endemic mammals of the Philippines. Their studies have involved scientific expeditions to previously unexplored regions, discovery of several species of native mammals new to science, revealed fundamental patterns of geographic distribution across islands and along elevational gradients, and shown how native and non-native species respond to both disturbance and restoration of natural habitat. Their studies have helped in efforts to establish a nationwide system of protected areas for long-term preservation of Philippine biodiversity.
In collaboration with Museum Research Associate Dr. Rebecca Rowe, Rickart's current research on mammals of the Great Basin uses historical data from museum collections together with modern field surveys to document faunal change over the past century and to investigate the relative roles of climate change and human land use in driving observed changes. Another project, with Research Associate Dr. William Newmark, involves analysis of wildlife trail systems in the Intermountain West to determine how landscape features affect movement patterns of large mammals. All of Rickart's research has direct implications for future conservation efforts and the preservation of biodiversity. He frequently presents his research at national conferences and has published more than 60 peer-reviewed articles in a wide variety professional journals.
Dr. Rickart recently received a grant of $400,000 from the National Science Foundation to expand and re-house the Vertebrate Zoology collections of 71,000 specimens within the new Museum building, set to open in 2011. He is a member of several professional organizations, including Society for Conservation Biology, Southwestern Association of Naturalists, and the American Society of Mammalogists. He is a past editor of Journal of Mammalogy, and a current associate editor of Mammalian Species.
Eric Rickart received a PhD in Biology in 1982 from the University of Utah and a M.A. in Biology and a B.S. in Systematics and Ecology from University of Kansas. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Utah and a Research Associate in the Department of Zoology at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.

Once we mention them, get these Jackson 5 songs out of your head:
-- "I Want You Back"
Or how about "Love Child" from The Supremes?
Deke Richards, "leader of the Motown songwriting, arranging and producing team known as The Corporation" that came up with those and many other hits, has died.
Richards was 68. According to Universal Music, he passed away at a hospice in Bellingham, Wash., from esophageal cancer.
NPR's Neda Ulaby tells our Newscast desk that Richards and The Corporation helped rescue Motown Records when the label was shedding talent in the late 1960s. After Richards' Motown contract expired, he worked with Fleetwood Mac but "wound up suing the band over the album Rumors," Neda says.
"Richards, a veteran Los Angeles guitarist for R&B nightclub bands, signed with Motown in 1966. He had performed with singer Debbie Dean; when the two met Gordy, Dean landed a recording contract as Motown's first white singer, and Richards signed his own contract as a producer and writer.
"Two years later, when the Supremes were struggling to land a hit, Gordy paired Richards with fellow songwriters R. Dean Taylor, Frank Wilson and Pam Sawyer. He sequestered them in Detroit's Ponchartrain Hotel and instructed them to write a million-seller. In four days, they came up with "Love Child," the bold song about illegitimate children that became one of Diana Ross' most powerful performances and quickly hit Number One."
According to the BBC, "Richards' final work was the mixing of eight unreleased tracks by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas for the band's 50th anniversary box set, which is to be released on 5 April."

image Copyright © 2024 by Irene Sheri
Irene Sheri was born in the city of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, Ukraine in 1968. Her mother was Bulgarian, father French. Her art career started when Irene's older brother Vasily, then 9, was given as a birthday present a set of paints. And Irene was told NOT TO TOUCH THEM! Those paints became an object of desire for her, almost an obsession. She stole them, mixed them, painted on paper, walls, on her dress and on the bodies of her friends. She was 4 years old. At age 9, and thousands of paintings behind her, Ms. Sheri started her art classes at the Belgorod Art School for gifted children, and at age 15 graduated both from her junior high and art school, both as valedictorian. Rather than going to High School like most teenagers, Ms. Sheri entered Grecov College of Art in the city of Odessa, Ukraine. During her first year in the junior college, she entered and won a citywide juried exhibition "Young Artist of the year". Since that time and during her two years in the junior college, the artist entered and won fourteen juried exhibitions, and at the end of her second year, received a special "excellence in art" award from the Mayor. At age seventeen, Ms. Sheri was accepted into the Serov School of Fine Art in St Petersburg, Russia. All paintings and sketches that she created during her three years of study at the college are now used by the faculty as samples of brilliant academic achievement. In 1988, a year after she moved to St Petersburg, Ms. Sheri was enrolled in a summer practice at the Museum of Wooden Architecture with a group of other students. On the last day of the practice all of the students went to the museum to show their work to the public before delivering them to their school for grading. The museum curator told tourists that they could purchase any students' work they liked. An hour later, all twelve of Ms. Sheri s pieces were gone. Not one piece by the other students was purchased. Angry and envious, the students told Ms. Sheri that she was supposed to turn her twelve paintings in to the school, and the money she earned will certainly be the last professional earnings she ever made. The students told her she would probably be expelled from the college for not turning her work in. Two days later Irene submitted twelve more paintings and was the only student to receive an "A" for this practice. In 1990, Ms. Sheri graduated valedictorian from the Serov College, and was asked to stay at the School of Fine Art to teach gifted children. She received an apartment for her outstanding achievement and studio to work in. Two years later, she into entered one of the most prestigious art schools in the world, the St Petersburg Academy of Art named after Repin. In 2000, her graduation artwork was accepted into the permanent collection of the Museum of Academy of Art, and a year later, the same painting, "Early snow" (78" x 80") received the highest honor an artist can receive in Russia, the "Russian State Award for Outstanding achievement in Art or Entertainment". Ms. Sheri s works are in collections of such prominent collectors as musician Mstislav Rastropovich, ex-St Petersburg Mayor Anatoly Sobchak, oil tycoon Leo Vaisberg to name a few. In 2002, Ms. Sheri was invited to take part in all-Russian juried exhibition "Youth of Russia", and again, as it was each time she entered juried exhibitions, she received first prize and special commendations. Her artwork is sold and presented by galleries and dealers in France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Russia, Ukraine, Finland, and the US. Mr. Sheri has a daughter, age 12, who already showing early signs of a very talented artist.

The Differences Between Moped and Scooter Motorcycles
INTHEZONE―The Lifestyle Adventure Company Focuses On Electric Mobility And Youth Culture. We're An Electric Motorcycle Label; Get The Most Hot-Selling Electric Choppers ― '' Enjoy The Ride In Good Vibes.''
The differences between mopeds and scooters
Moped vs scooter? Here's how to choose.
Ease of use, lower gas consumption, less maintenance, nimble size: Many people look to motorized two-wheeled options such as scooters and mopeds for short distances. Before you make the decision, however, it's critical to understand the differences between a moped and a scooter (they're not the same) and their muscle-bound cousin, the motorcycle and to familiarize yourself with regulations governing all three. Here's what you need to know.
Moped vs scooter vs motorcycle
- What it is. First named because it was a bicycle with a motor (literally a motorized pedal vehicle), today's mopeds have a step-through frame (with or without pedals) with a 50cc (cee-cee is moto-speak for cubic centimetre) or smaller motor.
- What you should know Mopeds top out at 40 mph (less with increased rider weight) and may achieve triple-digit gas mileage.
- What it is. A scooter has the same step-through frame as a moped but a more powerful motor, up to 250cc.
- What you should know. Scooters offer higher top speeds and lower gas mileage. For example, a 150cc scooter has a top speed of 60 mph and gets up to 70 mpg, while a 250cc scooter can reach 75 mph but will get fewer than 60 mpg. However, you may not be able to use a scooter on the freeway; check local engine size or horsepower minimums.
- What it is. The bike's design is what distinguishes motorcycles. The engine is forward, between the driver's knees, which differs from scooters and mopeds with a step-through frame. The driver sits upright with her back perpendicular to the road.
- What you should know. Motorcycles generally have an engine size that enables them to share all roads with all motorized vehicles.
Do you need a license for a scooter or moped?
Your state regulates the requirements. Check local regulations; they may not be similar from one locale to the next, and a scooter license age and conditions may not be the same as the moped license age. Your state may offer a two-wheeler education course and require a skill test.
- In most states, riders must be a certain age to drive a moped and — for any engine over 50cc — have a regular driver's license or permit, often with a motorcycle license or endorsement. Some states don't require a motorcycle license under 50cc.
- License plates and registration requirements may also be determined by engine size.
Do you need a helmet and insurance?
Many states require helmets, but even when they aren't needed, it's always best for you and your passengers to wear them for safety reasons. Check your state and local laws for helmet and motorcycle insurance regulations.
Road Rules
The slower speeds of a moped mean it is not legal to ride on highways and is best used for shorter trips around town on low-speed-limit roads.
Depending on engine size, these can go faster and might join highway traffic, but it's best to keep it short distances. Why? On the highway, you'd share the road with much larger vehicles that go much faster than you can.
While mopeds and scooters are rock stars in gas mileage, their emissions may be less than stellar. An article from MIT University states that motorcycle emissions are worse in the US than their passenger vehicle counterparts. Carbon monoxide emissions are almost five times more, methane is three times more, and nitric oxide is 45 times higher. Carbon dioxide is slightly better on a motorcycle than on a vehicle. If emissions are essential to you, ask before you buy.

Aggression in Dogs
The most common and serious behavior problems of dogs are associated with aggression. Canine aggression includes any behavior associated with a threat or attack (e.g., growling, biting).
Read More Agility Training for Dogs
Dog agility is a competitive sport in which a person (handler) directs a dog through a timed obstacle course. Handlers and dogs race against the clock as the dogs jump hurdles, climb ramps, run through tunnels, cross a see-saw, and weave through a line of poles. Scoring is based on faults, similar to equestrian show jumping. Dog agility competition has become an exciting spectator event, and training for it is a great form of exercise for dogs and handlers, can harness a dog's energy and boost his or her confidence, and can help improve the human–animal bond.
Read More Alkaline Phosphatase Level
Alkaline phosphatase (ALKP) is an enzyme that is produced by many cell types. Although it is considered a "liver enzyme," it is mostly made by the liver and bones.
Read More Allergy Testing
The most common types of allergies in pets are flea allergy, food allergy, and a condition called atopy. Atopy is sometimes called atopic dermatitis or allergic inhalant dermatitis, and it occurs when allergens that are inhaled or that contact the skin cause an allergic reaction in the body. In dogs (and, less commonly, cats), this allergic reaction is focused largely in the skin. Animals with atopy become very itchy; the resultant scratching can lead to skin injuries and subsequent skin infections. Atopy is usually first noticed in dogs younger than 3 years of age, although older pets can also be affected. Unfortunately, some pets that develop atopy continue to have problems throughout their lives.
Read More Alopecia
Alopecia is the medical term used to describe hair loss. Alopecia can occur when hair fails to grow at a normal rate, or when hair is lost more quickly than it can grow back. Alopecia should not be confused with increased shedding. Shedding (even year-round shedding in some pets) is a normal process and is not an illness. Shedding should only be a cause for concern if it is heavy enough to create areas of thinning hair or baldness consistent with alopecia.
