Frequently Asked Questions
How are pacifiers cleaned?
Before first use, and at regular intervals thereafter, boil the pacifier in water for up to five minutes, or use a sterilizer. Please avoid leaving the pacifier in the sterilizing solution for longer than the time recommended. Sometimes water may enter the inside of the nipple, this is because of a ventilation systems that exists in the nipple and helps make the pacifier orthodontically correct. When the baby closes down on the nipple, the air from inside the nipple is pushed out through the ventilation system thereby flattening the nipple and adapting to the baby´s individual oral cavity. So, the ventilation hole is needed in order to allow for proper development of your baby's jaw and mouth.
How can MAM pacifiers be sterilized in the Sterilizing- and transport box? (Single and Double box)
How often should the pacifier be replaced?
Check the pacifier before each use - especially when baby is teething - and throw away at the first signs of damage or weakness. However, we recommend the pacifier be replaced every two months for hygenic purposes.
Can babies swallow the pacifier?
No. All MAM pacifiers are developed in cooperation with medical experts and comply with international safety standards and minimal size regulations for pacifiers. It is impossible for babies to swallow them. In rare cases, babies can manage to squeeze the entire pacifier in their mouths. Should the pacifier become lodged in baby's mouth, remove the pacifier as gently as possible by grabbing the pacifier knob. It is designed to be easily and safely removed.
What difference is there between latex and silicone nipples?
Latex is a soft, resilient, natural rubber. It is eco-friendly and much more flexible than silicone. However, after prolonged use, the material can change. If latex is stored in a hot area of your home, or is in contact with sunlight for an extended period of time, it's shape can change and is then stripped from its orthodontic qualities. Furthermore, because it is a natural material, the latex can become sticky and begin to look unhygenic. There is no clear scientific evidence for a connection between latex nipples and latex allergy. If you are a parent who wishes to avoid using latex, you can simply do so by using a pacifier with a silicone nipple.
Silicone is an intensively tested, well-tolerated plastic that does not age. It complies with all the applicable requirements of FDA and EN 1400, however, is not as bite resistant and a little less elastic than latex. Consequently, we recommend you thoroughly inspect a pacifier before each time baby uses it, especially if baby is teething and uses a silicone pacifier.
What difference is there between standard silicone and MAM Ultra Soft Silicone®?
MAM has developed an innovative silicone nipple: the Ultra Soft Silicone® nipple. The patented silicone nipple is silicone with a difference as it is silky soft and feels most like mom's breast. Thanks to the anti-slip surface, the pacifier easily stays in baby's mouth.
Is the shape of the pacifier and nipple important?
Yes, only orthodontic pacifiers support baby's healthy jaw and teeth development. MAM collaborates with medical experts appointed by the ICMRS (International Childrens Medical Research Society) to help develop and design innovative, orthodontically safe pacifiers that suit baby's various developmental stages. All MAM pacifiers have symmetrical nipples: there is no 'top' or 'bottom'. So, the pacifier can be put in baby's mouth in any direction and will not cause any harm to their oral cavity development.
MAM pacifiers are also orthodontically safe for your baby primarily because of a ventilation system that exists in the nipple. When the baby closes down on the nipple, the air from inside the nipple is pushed out through the ventilation system thereby flattening the nipple and adapting to the baby´s individual oral cavity.
Should I allow my child to use a pacifier?
Babies are born with the natural urge to suck. Orthodontic pacifiers, if no longer used by the child's third birthday, support healthy development. When the child wants to sleep, needs comforting or wants to relax, he or she will be happy about having a pacifier. You can choose refrain pacifier usage when the baby is playing as the baby is already distracted, and most likely, relaxed by interaction of toys. Many pediatric dentists and other medical experts do recommend the use of pacifiers because it is much easier to wean a baby off of pacifiers than it is to wean off of thumbsucking.
How often and for how long are children allowed to suck a pacifier daily?
All children are different and have their individual needs. Sucking calms and relaxes babies and should therefore not be limited. The orthodontic MAM pacifiers support healthy development so you do not need to worry about them harming your baby's oral cavity development
Do MAM pacifiers contain softening agents?
No. MAM products do not contain softening agents. MAM only uses materials that meet highest expectations and safety standards of the FDA and EN 1400. Hence, all MAM pacifiers are completely Baby Safe. They do not contain BPA, PVC, Phthalate, and Lead.
How to wean children off the pacifier:
- Limit where the pacifier is used: baby is only allowed the pacifier in bed
- Symbolically give the pacifier away: the child will be happy about an agreed something in return
- Stories and fairy tales about stopping pacifier use support parents
- Strengthen the child's self-confidence: big girls and boys don't need pacifiers!
What are nitrosamines and how does MAM check their intensity?
Nitrosamines and nitrosatable substances are chemicals that are found in such things as fried bacon, smoked meat and rubber products – like latex nipples. Sucking on a pacifier can release small amounts of nitrosamines. – Latex, however, contains far fewer nitrosamines than grilled meat or cosmetic products for example.
MAM supports healthy development for babies: this is why all our raw materials are strictly controlled to ensure they have the lowest possible Nitrosamines and nitrosatable substances value.
At production all nipples are 'leached'. Explained simply, this means that with a special method they are washed for 48 hours. This 'leaching' removes the majority of the nitrosamines and nitrosatable substances. At the same time also reducing the risk of a latex allergy.
MAM regularly has cargos of nipples – complete production runs of nipples – controlled by an independent laboratory.
Always boil pacifiers before first use – for additional child safety!
MAM Clip
Are MAM pacifier clips safe for babies?
Yes. MAM designers have developed a clip that meets all safety standards requirements and at the same time also looks stylish.
The length of the band on all MAM pacifier keepers are within regulation and strangulation dangers are virtually impossible. The band should NEVER be lengthened or fastened to lose parts and strings! Check the band for damage before use and always clip on firmly!
Is the MAM pacifier clip for use only with MAM pacifiers?
The clip can also be used for other pacifiers. Although the innovative silicone ring on the MAM clip was designed to snuggly fit the knob on all MAM pacifiers, MAM pacifier keepers can be attached to pacifiers with rings, as well.
How is the MAM pacifier clip cleaned?
Make sure you detach the silicone ring and plastic clip from the pacifier keeper band as they do lose their shape in boiling water and sterilizers. Once these spare parts have been removed, you can throw the band in the wash, or hand wash them. The plastic clip and silicone ring can be hand washed with soap and water.
Is the MAM pacifier clip free from harmful substances?
Yes. Like our entire product line, meets all regulations. The band material complies with all international regulations and meets the OEKO-Tex standards for materials tested for harmful substances as well as the requirements of the German "Bedarfsgegenständeverordnung" for the use of Azo-colourants.
MAM Pod
How can I clean the MAM POD?
The MAM pod can be cleaned with mild soap and water. A soft sponge can be used. Rinse thoroughly afterwards and let it dry before using it again.

Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota didn't shy away from Iowa's presidential politics while giving the keynote address at a fundraiser on Friday in Iowa.
"You are the state that has gained notoriety for picking the country's presidents, and we are the state - thanks to the great Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale - that supplied the country with vice presidents," she said at the 10th annual North Iowa Democratic Wing-Ding in Clear Lake.
"In fact, it is a longtime tradition in Minnesota that new moms, gushing with pride, bounce their babies on their knee and say one day you can grow up to be vice president," she joked.
Klobuchar, the first woman from Minnesota elected to the U.S. Senate, has been floated by some as a potential presidential contender. EMILY's List put the second-term senator on its list of female lawmakers who could be viable candidates for the White House.
With that, the 2016 chatter was abuzz Friday, as political observers keep a close eye on visits to the Hawkeye State by any potential presidential candidate.
Shortly before Klobuchar took the podium, Iowa Democrats gave Hillary Clinton an award, which was accepted in absentia. Klobuchar praised Clinton at the top of her remarks, but also peppered her speech with plenty of compliments about her neighboring state.
"I literally am only two hours from here, and I can see Iowa from my porch," she said.
Drawing more connections, she noted that Minnesota and Iowa both have many lakes, hailed the two states for legalizing same-sex marriage, and listed other values the Midwestern states share.
With much of Iowa's Democratic class present at the event, Klobuchar mostly focused on Rep. Bruce Braley, who is seeking to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin. Klobuchar and Braley worked together on military sexual assault legislation in Congress.
But Klobuchar, who was elected to the Senate in 2006, also spent a significant portion of time blasting House Republican "ideologues" and "tea partiers" for blocking farm, infrastructure and immigration legislation--bills that have key stakeholders in Iowa and Minnesota.
She also spent time introducing herself to Iowa voters, talking about her Slovenian heritage and her grandfather, who was an iron ore miner, as well as her mother, a longtime teacher, and her father, a newspaperman. The senator further delved into what got her into politics: a fight with an insurance company after it kicked her out of the hospital while her newborn daughter was still in intensive care.
Wrapping up her speech with more Iowa themes and circling back to her grandfather's experience in the mines, she made a final plea to the audience to get out the vote for Braley in next year's midterms.
"You're the Hawkeye state, right? For generations, you've never backed down from a challenge. Your ancestors settled a windblown prairie and turned it into a place that feeds the world. You've given the country pioneers and leaders in political courage," she said. "This is what I'm asking you to do: Just like my grandpa would do everyday...put those boots on again, because you guys do it well. Put those hard hats on again, square your shoulders, and get ready for this next election."

Ella's Fine Food and Drink
Online Reservations
Superb cuisine!. One can easily see why the chef is an award winner. From appetizers to dessert - everything was outstanding!.
You can't do this at home. One of a kind dining. Great ambiance.
3rd time this season for a memorable meal. Not a poor choice on the menu. Meaning of Life calamari, pork belly taco, 2 different scallop entrees, freshest fish and seafood. A remarkable kitchen where the chef has a clear vision fusion of regional, French and Asian cuisine. $20 corkage fee is a nice feature. Thanks Mike!
We travel and eat out frequently. I can't remember the last time we had such an outstanding meal. Each course was better than the last! The service was phenomenal. They source locally, so everything is super fresh. Highly recommend Ella's!!!
At first, we thought all the reviews were written by the same person...excellent service, salmon amuse bouche, well presented food etc...but really, the service was very professional, we did get a salmon amuse bouche (time to change that up?), and the portions were actually quite generous, we each had 3 appetizers and no entree, and the calamari appetizer was so large we had it for lunch the next day. Also, the tuna tacos were really crisp (often dissappointed in other restaurants). Will definately go back.
Great food, best tuna I have ever eaten and also best salmon for my wife. Waiter was friendly and polite, but the service was slow. It was not the fault of the waiter, because I do not think they had enough help. Hoping next time the service will be better.
Celebrated our 53rd anniversary with friends on Aug 27th. Very good food, cocktails and wine. The service was excellent & the attention to details was very good. Some items on the menu were a bit pricey, and we would recommend reducing some portion sizes to maintain an entree price in the $30.00 range. Overall we will go again and enjoy some of Ella's delicious food wiht pleasure.
A gem! The food, service and ambience at Ella's are outstanding.
The food was absolutely terrific. I would recommend enthusiastically and unhesitatingly.
We have been to Ella's several times and have always had great food. The chef prepares everything perfectly with very fresh ingredients. Our last time dining there, the service was a standout too thanks to our thoughtful server Michael. We waited 30 minutes for our table despite a reservation and he made sure he brought out our starters right away, brought us fresh drinks and made sure we had everything we needed.
Splendidly eclectic menu and perfect ending to a weekend of sun , fun and family. We ventured in to this gem for the third time over this past weekend and each time a new culinary discovery. Luckily we thought ahead and made a n internet reservation three days ahead of time. Service in line with the chef's masterpiece.
It was a wonderful dining experience. The food was excellent as well as the service.
Ella's is our favorite restaurant in Westerly. The food is always Over the top awesome. The service impeccable. One small down side, they need a notable wine list. With that being said, the staff knows the current list and is excellent at making a recommendation. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
the food was outstanding and the presentations spectacular. We enjoyed the all the flavors. Our server was well versed and educated us on the various dishes. Our only issue was that we could not finish our dessert. The server did not ask if we wanted to have it wrapped and we failed to ask for it also.
Though it has steep prices, the food was divine! Service was attentive and friendly - we so enjoyed our server, Sandra -and we definitely recommend this as an occasion place. My entree was domestic lamb chops, which were delicious, though $45, kind of pricey. The desserts were terrific- my husband had the New York sirloin, and his dessert was chocolate bread pudding, for dessert I had the gingerbread ice cream sandwich. We shared pork belly tacos for an appetizer (yum!) all in all our second time there for our anniversary was great. I can't wait to try their restaurant in Punta Gorda, Florida.
The best restuarant in Westerly is Ella's! Food is far from ordinary with seasonal fruits and vegetables creatively used. The arugula salad with fresh figs was delicious as was my perfectly seared salmon with a side sauce accompanied by a warm potato salad. Service was prompt and attentive with additoinal house made foccia offered without asking. A blueberry tart large enough for two with a small scoop of ice cream ended an excellent meal.
The restaurant was recommended by family members and did not disappoint. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a wonderful dinner. The food is very good and the presentation is exceptional. The wait staff is attentive but not overbearing. It is a very nice restaurant for special occasions, and other groups at Ella's were also enjoying the ambiance and great food. The artwork creating the decor is a treat for art lovers. Enjoy!
Ella's is a surprisingly ambitious, up-market and sleek Euro-styled restaurant, given its location and outward appearance. (Its prices are also surprisingly high, for a street-corner place in Westerly.) .Attentive service, a classic menu and attractive food presentation complement a very pleasant over-all dining experience.
Ella's is a wonderful local place. Great atmosphere and the food is far better than any local competition. Highly recommend!
this was my first visit to Ella's and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and service. Both were excellent! The outside of the building looks very vintage but the inside of the restaurant kind of nondescript. I love the 1920s-30s vibe of the outside and would have preferred an ambience to match that. That aside, I would definitely come here again!
Ella's is probably the best restaurant that we have experienced in this area. The food is exceptional, but a bit pricey for our budget. Accordingly, we again took advantage of Restaurant Week to partake of their prix-fixed menu. The grilled salmon and the swordfish were excellent choices for our group. Unlike previous visits the service was a bit off due to the capacity bookings for Restaurant Week. We had to wait a bit past our reservation to be seated; and couldn't serve their usual "nice touch" pre dinner "taste." However, every effort was made to catch up and all in all, it was a very satisfying dining experience. We plan on trying dining there in the future in the lounge to try their less expensive lounge menu.
This was our first visit to Westerly, so tried Ella's based on on-line reviews. I went with our waiter's recommendation for the Crabby Scallops, which were served with black rice and baby bok choy. I am not a huge bock choy fan, so I was pleasantly surprised with the tasty bright green veggie. The dish was different, but excellent - a pleasant mild lemon sauce completed everything. The Veal Bolognese is my husband's go-to dish, and he was not disappointed. It was definitely not the same preparation as usual, but he enjoyed the heartier wheat pasta, and more distinct flavors. The Parisian and Heirloom tomato salads were also excellent. The reviewers did not steer us wrong. If you venture to Westerly, make sure you check out Ella's!
Just moved to the area within the past two months. Used promotional menu to give it a try. I had the flank steak, marinated and medium.... The wife had the swordfish. Desert was chocolate raspberry cake, I had a caramel vanilla type cake.... the food was absolutely wonderful. The steak was awesome and my wife raved about the swordfish. The highlight of the dinner for me was the cake...Truly melt in your mouth good. My only knock on the experience was the seating...It was very crowded ( restaurant week) and we were seated at the first table inside the main dining area. There was a cart kept right next to our table which the waiters grabbed their supplies from. The constant movement of staff was a disruption. It took away from the ambience.
We were there for restaurant week, nice choices. Cheapest we have ever gotten out of there! Menu pricey but food is delicious. Recommend the tuna tacos as appetizer.Do not like the idea that they valet park. Lot is small and you can easily park yourself but are forced to use the service, which is a additional cost.
This week Ella's was an even better restaurant with the $25 3 course deal; portions and options same as the full menu. Once more, never a false move from the kitchen or servers. We've now brought 11 friends and family from miles away to (currently) th ebest restaurant in RI!
We loved our experience at Ella's. The food and service were excellent. We will definitely be back!
the service was well-timed, the staff very attentive, the food was delicious, local and fresh, everyone in my party of 8 loved their meal, grilled swordfish was cooked perfectly, the pumpkin squash soup was fabulous, shrimp tempura was wonderful, would definitely return to try other selections
My wife and I decided to take advantage of Westerly Restaurant Week to try Ella's which we had heard about. my wife had the $25 special while I decided to eat aff the menu as I am not big on desserts. The service was OK...he did not bring bread as the others did and did not ask if we wanted coffee at the end of the meal. The food was very good nothing to complain about. We would go there again.
My husband and I would definitely return to Ella's to try more of their menu. Our waiter was very attentive. There was an excellent wine list. We both had the swordfish that was outstanding. My husband had apple pie with ice cream and I had pumpkin cheesecake for desserts and they both were so good. We are also dying to try the bar menu at Ella's. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Ella's to my best friends.
Whenever I'm in town I make an effort to dine at Ella's. This time I had the farro-based pasta with bolognese sauace...a very special approach. The appetizers are all terrific, especially the calamari and pork belly. Excellent house cocktail list. A terrific place for a gourment, quiet dinner or for taking guests to impress.
My husband & I met another couple here for dinner. All of us are from out of state, so Ellas was 1/2 between our homes. What a find! The food is spectacular not only in taste, but in presentation. Our waiter was personable, friendly & knowledgable about the menu. We couldn't have picked a better spot for dinner. Ella's Fine Food & Drink tops many restaurants in Boston or New York!
Ella's is as close to a perfect restaurant as you're likely to find anywhere, and it is a superlative surprise in a quiet resort town. Four of us shared perfect, tender battered calamari rings in a sweet and spicy sauce. I personally recommend every seafood item on the menu, from miso salmon to the "crabby scallops". The salmon comes on a bed of a blend of "forbidden" rice, infused with coconut flavor and combined with shallots, which complements all of the delicate items with which it is served. Service is subdued, respectful and quick; the ambiance is hushed and romantic, even if there are enthusiastic diners nearby--rich carpet and drapes suppress the chatter from one table to the next.
Excellent food, our favorite restaurant in Westerly. The crabby scallops is delicious.
Ellas continues to amaze, great food and service and always fresh and tasty! Best of The Best no doubt!
The food and service were exceptional. However, it was very expensive.
A little something for every different taste! The food was cooked to perfection and the presentation of each of our dinners was mouthwatering! Our server was very attentive which always scores big points in my book!
Everything was delicious! Had the Salmon and Swordfish. You can tell all ingredients were very fresh and good quality. The waiter was very good too. I would recommend Ella's for a special occasion. The amuse-bouche before and at the end of the meal was a nice touch. Definitely would go back to try some of the other dishes.
We enjoyed our evening, the food was very good, but the service was slow due to the waitress working the dining room as well as the bar from what we could see. Every thing was going well until the dessert, coffee, and bill delivery. We must have spent a half hour waiting , and we had wanted to go to a poetry reading which we missed because of the service. I don't think it was the waitress' fault, but that she had been stretched too thin with the territory she was expected to cover.
At Ella's, food is fresh,well prepared & well presented. A small taste "compliments of the chef" starts the meal and another small taste ends the meal. Even the mashed potatoes had some ingredient that had something extra. My two "complaints" are that the service was too quick. Fine dining should not be served so quickly. A slower pace between courses would be appropriate. Also, our bread dishes were cleared quickly as if we should just have the one piece of bread that was served on our plates. Although we did not want coffee or tea with dessert, we also were not asked. Some of the tables are so close that the people next to you are basically part of your conversation. So, Ella's fine dining (food-wise) can use some fine-tuning.
My husband and I went to Ella's during specially priced Restaurant Week." We wound up spending more on 4 glasses of wine than on the dinner -- but it was worth every bite. Lovely food.
I took my wife there for restaurant week and for her birthday and we left feeling satisfied. The food was delicious and were perfect portions. We have already recommended it many people. We can not wait to go back with friends.
Food and service were excellent! Wait staff were very attentive! Good range of items on the menu.
Came a few weeks back during restaurant week, and decided then we had to come back. Service is very good and food was fantastic!
Outstanding meal, every time. This is my favorite restaurant.
Our second visit, this time with another couple. They were busy, but sat us quickly. For the first half-hour that was the only thing that happened quickly. No waiter for five minutes, no water another five - then the wrong water. No drinks until fifteen minutes in. To be fair, once they recognized the problem it was remedied; but it never should have happened. The food makes up for the lack of professionalism in the service. It was excellent, especially the fog cheese app. But, somebody please pay more attention to the status of the tables.
As always.... everything was OUTSTANDING!! Perfect service, amazing food and great wine. What more can anyone ask for.
Other than the big yellow resort, I would consider this the best restaurant in the greater Westerly/Stonington/Mystic area. Great food and service. I'll continue to return for special nights out.
Everything about Ella's seems to revolve around getting the details correct - from the food preparation to making you feel welcomed. A truly enjoyable experience with great meal selections.
Having eaten at the resturant in Florida, was super excited to try their new one!! It was amazing and will go back as often as I can. James and Jeannie are great people and run a first class business.
Food was amazing, service outstanding, just a real gem and we are so honored to have Ellas in town!

JSO investigating after stray bullet hits toddler in the foot
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Lakewood couple is too shaken up to sleep in their own home after their three-year-old daughter was injured in a drive-by shooting Friday night.
The Downeys just moved into a home on Bishop Lane eight months ago - a street home to many families with young children.
"I ride my bike around the neighborhood all the time," says 13-year-old Taylor Malone, who lives just a few houses from the Downeys.
The Lakewood neighborhood is 67 percent safer than other neighborhoods in Jacksonville, according to areavibes, a site that compares crime rates. The average price for a home is about 100-thousand dollars and it's an area residents describe as a quiet community.
"I mean sometimes I leave my door unlocked but no, break-ins, or nothing it's the first time I ever heard of anything like that," says Bill Love, a neighbor.
On Friday shortly after 11 p.m., residents of Bishop Lane experienced a drive-by shooting - one that struck three-year-old Christina Downey in the foot while she was just sitting in her living room with her parents.
"It was just a steady shooting like eight shots, 'tat-tat-tat', but you can tell it was a rifle by the sound of it," says Love.
Michael Downey says his daughter didn't even cry when she was struck. She was released from the hospital the same night.
About 11 bullets hit the house and on Saturday JSO investigators continued collecting evidence that may lead them to a suspect. The shooting comes just a week and a half after a five-year-old was grazed by a bullet in Northwest Jacksonville.
"You know MAD Dads, we're just sad as to what's happening and we want to ask the individuals that are out there doing this to please stop, please stop shooting our children," says Donald Foy, of Jacksonville MAD Dads. "We're asking the community that we've got to take a stand, we can't let it continue to be wild, while children are being traumatized for the rest of their lives," says Foy.
Downey says someone saw a brown SUV leave the neighborhood after the shooting. JSO has not released a vehicle description or further information on the incident.
Anyone with information on the shooting should call Crimestoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS.

Plagiarism - How To Avoid It
You need to understand that academic writing is a process fraught with contradictions: you are frequently asked to use your own words and ideas about subjects for which you not only lack expertise but are, in fact, in the process of learning. In addition, you are expected to access the thoughts and ideas of experts to bolster your argument. You are required to skillfully weave these ideas into your paper, so that everything flows smoothly, yet all the while keeping it crystal clear whose thoughts are whose. You are expected to write in your own style and your own voice, as long as it falls into the accepted norms of your discipline and/or the critical taste of your instructor. It's not easy, and it's not always clear-cut, but it is one of the processes that you are in school to master, and it will become more natural with practice. Keep in mind that if you have questions or uncertainties, faculty and other student support systems are here to help. In addition, read and utilize the strategies below.
- Find a topic that engages you by doing some background reading and discussing your research question with professors, librarians, and other students.
- Be familiar with the WSU definition of and policies concerning plagiarism.
- Be sure you understand your instructors' policies concerning plagiarism.
Gathering Research Materials:
- Allow time to make multiple trips to the library: start your research early and consult reference librarians to learn about the best research tools for your topic.
- Get extra sources: Get your research done early and get extra sources. You don't have to use them all, but if you find there is a source you can't use, you'll have back up.
- Expect it will take extra time to receive materials not available on your WSU campus: The Griffin, Summit and Interlibrary Loan systems make millions of resources available, but items not on your campus take from three days to two weeks to receive.
Taking Notes:
- Color code your notes: Be sure to distinguish between places where you are paraphrasing others' ideas versus directly quoting from a source.

Gibbons v. Ogden (Great Events from History: North American Series)
Article abstract: The U.S. Supreme Court defines the meaning and scope of the commerce power and coordinates federal and state authority in interstate commerce.
Summary of Event
In order to provide the commercial relations of the United States with a sense of orderliness and uniformity that had been considerably lacking before 1787, the Constitution of the United States gave Congress the power to "regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes." Congress almost immediately took advantage of this power in the field of foreign commerce by providing for the regulation of ships and commerce from foreign countries and by enacting the National Coasting Licensing Act in 1793 for the licensing of vessels engaged in coastal trade. The Constitution was silent as to the meaning and scope of the commerce power. It was left to the Supreme Court, thirty years later, to make the first national pronouncement regarding domestic commerce in the case of Gibbons v. Ogden.
The catalyst for this decision was the development of the steamboat as an economical means of transportation. This was accomplished in August of 1807, when Robert Fulton and Robert Livingston made a successful voyage up the Hudson River from New York to Albany. In April of 1808, the legislature of the state of New York responded to this success by giving Fulton and Livingston a monopoly to operate...

Gibbons v. Ogden (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
Gibbons v. Ogden, 22 U.S. (9 Wheat.) 1, 6 L. Ed. 23, was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court that defined the scope of power given to Congress pursuant to the COMMERCE CLAUSE of the Constitution.
In 1800, the state of New York enacted a statute that gave ROBERT LIVINGSTON and Robert Fulton a monopolyn exclusive righto have their steamboats operate on the state waterways. Aaron Ogden owned a steamboat company and had received a license from Livingston and Fulton to conduct a business between ports in New York City and New Jersey. Ogden had formerly been in business with Thomas Gibbons, who started his own steamship company that operated between New York and New Jersey, in direct competition with Ogden.
Ogden brought an action to enjoin Gibbons from continuing to run his steamships, which were licensed in the coastal trade under a 1793 act of Congress. The state courts granted Ogden the INJUNCTION, and the case was brought on appeal to the Supreme Court.
DANIEL WEBSTER, the attorney for Gibbons, argued that the issuance of the injunction was wrongful since the laws that authorized the MONOPOLY were enacted in violation of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. This clause gave Congress, not the states, the power to regulate commerce...

Gibbons v. Ogden (Supreme Court Drama)
Appellant: Thomas Gibbons
Appellee: Aaron Ogden
Appellant's Claim: That a New York state law granting exclusive rights to individuals to operate steamships in New York waters while conducting interstate commerce violates the Constitution's Commerce Clause.
Chief Lawyers for Appellant: Thomas A. Emmet, Thomas J. Oakley
Chief Lawyers for Appellee: William Wirt, Daniel Webster, David B. Ogden
Justices for the Court: Gabriel Duvall, William Johnson, Chief Justice John Marshall, Joseph Story, Thomas Todd, Bushrod Washington
Justices Dissenting: None (Smith Thompson did not participate)
Date of Decision: March 2, 1824
Decision: Ruled in favor of Gibbons by finding that steamship navigation is part of commerce and that states could not pass laws regulating steamship traffic operating between two or more states.
Significance: The landmark ruling was the first to interpret federal powers under the Constitution's Commerce Clause. It provided a broad interpretation of what is commerce under the clause, holding that commerce was more than simply the buying and selling of goods and forming the basis for numerous rulings involving the Commerce Clause throughout the history of the United States.
"Dinner will be served at exactly 2 o'clock . . . Tea with meats . . . Supper at 8 in the evening . . . A shelf has been added to each berth, on which gentlemen will please put their boots, shoes, and clothes, that the cabin will not be encumbered." So read a handbill distributed to passengers on Robert Fulton's (1765815) steamship operating on the Hudson River in New York state.
Authority Over Interstate Commerce
Government regulation of business was a deep concern of colonists who had been subjected to the burdensome tax policies of Great Britain, a major issue leading to the Revolutionary War (1775783). Fear of national government control of local businesses led the colonists to be very restrictive in granting trade regulation power to a national government when drafting the Articles of Confederation in 1781. The only trade control given to Congress was that concerning trade with Indians. Regulation of interstate and foreign trade was reserved to the individual states. However, business competition between the states grew intense. Each state was more eager to build their own prosperity than seek agreement on trade policy. They each had their own tariff (import tax) policies on goods coming from other states or foreign countries. To further complicate matters, each state held authority to make their own money. Having thirteen currencies greatly inhibited trade. Another problem for businessmen was trying to collect on their bills when interstate trade was conducted. Local courts often proved protective of local businesses from their distant creditors.
The resulting chaotic trade situation was soon widely recognized as a major problem for the economic growth of the new nation. As a result the Framers of the U.S. Constitution during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 with little debate gave broader commerce powers to Congress. Commerce is commonly the conducting of economic trade or business between cities, states, or foreign nations. Clause 3 of Article I states that "Congress shall have the power . . . to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes." The Supreme Court was not called upon to rule on the scope of the Commerce Clause until over thirty years later in 1824.
Rise of Steamship Commerce
A major new technology at the beginning of the nineteenth century began to make a major impact on interstate and foreign travel and trade, the steam engine. In 1798 the state of New York passed a law giving Robert R. Livingston exclusive right to navigate steamboats in state waters. Exclusive use means no other business can hold the same right to operate steamships in those waters. It becomes a business monopoly. By 1802 Livingston took on inventor Robert Fulton as a partner. Fulton adapted a steam engine for large ships to carry passengers, greatly expanding the potential of earlier steam powered boats. Fulton and Livingston could also issue licenses to others to operate steamships in New York waters. Experiencing great success, they received the same type of grant in 1811 from the state of Louisiana. As a result, Fulton and Livingston controlled steamship access to two of the major seaports and waterways in the United States, New York City at the mouth of the Hudson River and New Orleans at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River.
As more businessmen entered the steamship transport business, they too struck similar exclusive use deals with other states. As the new nation was rapidly expanding inland, the transportation of goods from one state to another involved different steamship companies in each state and became increasingly difficult. Public irritation over such inconvenience arose.
Aaron Ogden and Thomas Gibbons
In 1815 Aaron Ogden, a former New Jersey governor from 1812 to 1813, was in a struggling business partnership with Thomas Gibbons. Ogden purchased a license from Livingston to operate a steam-driven ferry line between New York City and Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Soon Gibbons began running his own steamships between New York and New Jersey, in direct competition with Ogden. Gibbons had obtained a license to operate his boats from the federal government under the Coastal Licencing Act of 1793 to operate in a "coasting" trade.
In 1819, Ogden sought a court injunction to block Gibbons' steamships from navigating in New York waters. Ogden claimed New York state law protected his monopoly and took precedence (priority) over the federal law. Gibbons countered that federal laws constitutionally overrode individual state laws.
A New York state court ruled in favor of Ogden by finding the state law took precedence in this case. The court asserted that federal commerce powers did not apply because ship navigation was not commerce. Only a federal law specifically regulating navigation could override the state steamship law, and no such law existed. The court issued the injunction ordering Gibbons to stop operating his steamships in New York waters. An injunction is a court order to stop an action from happening.
Supreme Court
Gibbons appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The case drew public attention for it pitted the Federalists who believed in establishing a strong national government against states' rights proponents, including former president Thomas Jefferson (1801809). Daniel Webster, famed lawyer and orator, presented Gibbons' case. Webster eloquently argued "that the power of Congress to regulate commerce was complete and entire, and, to a certain extent . . . exclusive." Also, he contended the term commerce included navigation necessary to conduct business transactions. Therefore, Gibbons' federal license took priority over New York law.
Chief Justice John Marshall, writing for the Court, saw things differently from the lower court and agreed with Webster. He saw the key question before the Court was just what kinds of activity did the Commerce Clause include. Also, could states regulate interstate commerce within their own waters? Marshall asserted three major points. First, the term "Commerce" in the Constitution was not just simply restricted to the actual buying and selling of goods. It included navigation too when used to promote such buying and selling. Secondly, steamships significantly helped trade between states, hence were a part of interstate commerce when operating between two or more states. Thirdly, states could not pass laws restricting commerce between states, since this power was exclusively given to Congress by the Commerce Clause. Marshall declared that a primary objective in forming the federal government was authority to regulate interstate and foreign commerce. Marshall wrote, "The power over commerce, including navigation, was one of the primary objects for
which the people . . . adopted their government." States retained the power to regulate "completely internal commerce [that] . . . does not extend to or affect other states." When a state law regulating commerce comes in conflict with a federal law, the federal always takes priority.
The lower court's ruling was overturned. Marshall dismissed the injunction against Gibbons and ruled the New York state law invalid since it was in conflict with the federal coastal licensing law.
From Steamships to the Internet
Despite the general acceptance of the Commerce Clause by the Framers of the Constitution, the Clause became the subject of more court cases than any other Congressional power. The publicly popular Gibbons decision has been called "the emancipation proclamation of American commerce." Interstate commerce was freed from the jumble of various restrictions imposed by numerous state governments. The decision established the importance of regulating interstate commerce by a central governmental authority, the national government rather than individual state or local governments.
States' rights proponents, including Jefferson, feared the decision would mark a trend toward the federal government taking over all rights believed reserved to the states. The broadening of commerce to include navigation provided a basis for later decisions involving communications, transportation, and manufacturing. Also, the ruling paved the way to consider new technologies that would come along as interstate commerce. Technologies never imagined by the Framers of the Constitution would include railroads, telegraphs, telephones, pipelines, airplanes, and by the 1990s, the Internet. Each new technology has relied upon the Gibbons ruling to protect their right to operate efficiently between states. By 2000 little economic activity remained beyond the regulatory authority of Congress under the Commerce Clause.

Mr. WALZ--The law for the incorporation of towns fails to provide for the filling of vacancies in case of death or other absence of any of the Inspectors, at the time for opening the election for the first town officers. This bill should pass to supply a want in the law. There is a case in my town now, where one of the Inspectors died and the citizens do not know how further to proceed in electing the first town officers, unless it passes, a special enabling act will have to pass, to permit them to fully organize their corporation.

Yes, I have always used what was called for and assembled as directed. Today, I thought I would try straying from my philosophy and it backfired with lots of expensive ingredients at stake. I was able to retrace my problem, make some additions and get it corrected, but I swear I will never try this stunt again. Making See's Fudge and thought I'd substitute cream for half of the evaporated milk. Wrong thing to try. My fudge was separating out the excess butter from the cream. I was able to save all those valuable walnuts and chocolate by adding another half recipe of ingredients to my batch and omiting that portion of butter. It set up and tastes fine. But, I learned a lesson. | |||
Lurah, Laughing here but glad you were able to rescue the project before it all went south on you taking those expensive ingredients down with them! I am the complete opposite ~ I never follow recipes precisely which is why I can never exactly write one down for others who have tasted my food and want to make it for themselves. Seriously, I think that is why I am a really good cook and just a so-so baker... Anyone else want to confess? Myself, I think good cooks are a bit lackadasical when it come to precision; great bakers do just the opposite! What do you think? | ||||
I always follow the recipe to the letter for baked items such as cakes, biscuits, etc. For other dishes, I follow the recipe the first time so I know what it is supposed to taste like and then go ahead and do my own thing with it after that. | ||||
Hello Everyone, I don't always follow the recipe and therefore when a dish turns out really good, I don't remember what I did. But if I am trying a new recipe I do follow the recipe then the next time I will tweak it to my liking. My chili recipe is so far from the original, I wouldn't recognize the original if I tasted it. And mine is different almost every time I make it, cause I add this or take that out. Save Planet Earth, it is the only Planet with chocolate!! | ||||
I was unfamiliar with the brand See's Fudge so looked it up and find that it is basically the same recipe on marshmallow creme jars. It is delicious. What I found interesting though is that the See's candy dynasty is now owned by Warren Buffet. http://www.sees.com/index.cfm/about_us/history | ||||
If it's a new recipe, I always follow the recipe (with the exception of any herbs in the recipe -- I use my palm to measure so it's not entirely accurate) and in baking I ALWAYS follow the recipe as to measurements and ingredients but may not as to things like nuts (it calls for walnuts, I have pecans for example) for baking is a science . . . and I don't want my baking to be a science experiment gone wrong! I'm a little freer on subbing things for savory dishes -- an onion is an onion is an onion (whether it's red, white or green) . . . I have cream it calls for half and half (I use half cream and half water) or it calls for whole milk and I have 2 per cent. Martha | ||||
I'm another who follows the recipe for baking and something as fickle as fudge. But for most savory dishes I consider the recipe a starting point and go from there. So I don't have problems replicating a dish I make notes in my recipe organizer. In the King Ranch dish Tuesday I did not measure the sour cream, I added extra peppers and did not measure the shredded cheese for the topping. I also did not measure the green pepper and just used the half an onion I had peeled from the day before. Nothing major and I wouldn't even bother to record the changes. | ||||
I came across See's Candy years ago on our first trip to Arizona - they have the best candy. One item they no longer carry that I used to always buy was their Coffee Nips - they were potent! | ||||
LOL! That is exactly my M.O. | ||||
Ditto...as far as the basic ingredients. I may make changes with certain additions; ie, coconut, chocolate chips, nuts, etc. My mother never used a recipe for her cornbread. I tried that and it was different every time I made it. I started trying different recipes after about 20 years of mediocre cornbread - or at least I thought it was mediocre. When DH said, "I like this," I've stayed with that recipe ever since... Meat, vegetable, side dishes however - I do whatever I want with them. Sherry Does this hat make my butt look big? www.keepyouinstitches.blogspot.com http://s193.photobucket.com/al...9/keepyouinstitches/ www.friendsofthedaingerfieldpu...library.blogspot.com | ||||
I'm like most of you. I don't vary much on baking. I might change the spices, use gluten-free flour or omit the nuts, but generally I use the recipe as written. Other recipes get made following the recipe the first time, then get changed and/or simplified thereafter. | ||||
Baking yes, I follow the recipe but otherwise no I often improvise. | ||||
I almost never follow the recipe, except when baking a cake.. but since I haven't baked a cake in probably 20 years!! the question is moot. (we REALLY don't eat cake). As far as other recipes, I view them as guidelines rather than rules. even my fudge varies.. I use the old Hersheys back of the box recipe, and often dont have enough sugar or cocoa or butter or whateve.. just cook it longer or shorter.. things work out. Other cooking, since I can taste as I read, I often make changes before I try a recipe.. Life is GOOD!! | ||||
For success in baking, I follow the recipe. For other cooking, I treat it as my chance to be creative, so I love to come up with my own methods and/or ingredients. | ||||
More often then not, I follow NEW recipes the first time (especially if they are baked goods) and if I like it but feel it needs more flavor, color or texture I am apt to tweak it later. My family has always hated it though whenever I made changes to a family favorite declaring that I should not tamper with what they deemed as "perfection". Though I am blessed with such compliments, I can find these occassions frustrating as I feel they're stifling my creativity. Once in a while I'll sneak in a new ingredient and see if they detect a change. I know...I'm living on the edge. | ||||
I usually follow the basic recipe, but often change up or add seasonings, nuts, veggies, whatever. DH follows the recipe EXACTLY the first time & then adds his own flair after. | ||||
I never vary my baked recipes, except to leave out something I don't like--coconut!! For savory recipes, I always follow the original recipe exactly the first time, maybe substituting an ingredient I don't have on hand. Some recipes, like spaghetti sauce for example, have changed over the years, but I'm happy with the version I developed and never vary that recipe anymore. There was a recipe for Chicken Cacciatore in today's paper that I plan to make tonight. Unfortunately, I don't have any peppers in the house (it calls for a red pepper), so I'm just going to make it w/o the red pepper. Hopefully, it will still be good with the fresh mushrooms, onions, chicken, canned tomatoes, wine, garlic, and various spices. | ||||
I think every recipe I have that I use & every cookbook that has recipes that I use have notes written on the sides...or added at the bottom. I usually do "something" to make the recipe my own!...both baking and cooking! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
I might add that if you are like me, I research a lot of my recipes on recipe sites. I'll read the comments from the poster, the ingredients and instructions. If the recipe sounds good, I read most of the reviews to learn what others who have tried the recipe have to say. In many cases they have altered the original recipe to make the recipe more savory, sweet or spicy. Some alterations have to do with things like texture or appearance. They also point out where they felt there was too little or too much of an ingredient, if a liquid or dry ingredient needed to be increased or decreased, whether the yield was accurate or not, etc. etc. Of course tastes and ovens, stoves and cooking appliances vary, but this feedback helps me to determine whether a new recipe is worth experimentation or not and if a keeper, how I might tweak it. Once I try a recipe and like it I note the changes I've made. | ||||

Character History
Season 6
Anya was seen as a cheerleader from Lakehurst in the episode If You Leave. However, while this was Samantha Munro's first onscreen appearance, Anya was not a character yet though some viewers consider this Anya's first appearance before transferring to Degrassi.
Season 7
Anya first appears as Holly J. Sinclair's best friend, however, the friendship is somewhat one-sided and even contains elements of emotional abuse. (Holly J being the abuser.) Ayna is seen following Holly J around during Standing In the Dark in the cafeteria as Holly J. is in a fight with Darcy. Anya dresses almost exactly like Holly J. and follows hder around almost everywhere. Later on, Mia and Anya become acquaintances, as Mia notices how Holly J treats Anya and brings it to her attention.
In It's Tricky, Anya is big fan of Craig's music, and when she sees Ashley singing in the gym, she goes up to her and asks her questions about Craig. Ashley is left feeling upset, as everyone is paying attention to Craig, all the while paying no attention to her music.
In Love is a Battlefield, Holly J. and Anya are seen behind a school bus listining in on Manny and Damien's conversation. In gym class they plan their revenge on them for their racist comments.
In Jessie's Girl, after realizing that Anya was beginning to be nice to Mia, Holly J. decides to treat her poorly, by telling the entire Physics class that she is dyslexic. She then talks her into copying an old report from Heather for their physics class, only to tell on her during class (as it turned out, Holly J wrote her own report and only did it to teach Anya a lesson). Mia really believed that Anya was going to stop hanging out with Holly J. because of this, but Anya refused to be "like Mia", stating she'd rather be a popular follower than a happy nobody.In Hungry Eyes, Sav asks Mia's help into how to get along better with girls and the reason for asking is not Mia herself but Anya. Sav later asks Anya out and she says yes and they share a sticker collection.
In Another Brick In The Wall, Holly J. is embarrassed to be seen with Toby in front of her best friends, Anya and Chantay. Later, Holly J. tells her it is okay to be seen with Toby, and Anya asks if they like him now. Holly J. calls Anya stupid.
In Ladies' Night, Anya runs the Free The Children Freedom Fast to promote education and health in Africa. She tries to get Holly J. and Sav to get to know each other and become friends, by making them work together. But
Holly J. and Sav share some secrets. Sav tells Holly J. that later on in life, he is going to have an arranged marriage. Holly J. tells Anya, trying to break them up. Anya confronts Sav, and he tells her that it would be later on, saying he wants to fight for them. Anya realizes that Holly J. was trying to ruin her relationship with Sav, and wants payback. Anya gives Holly J. a cookie during the fast and Holly J. eats it, not knowing Anya is secretly filming her.Later, Holly J. goes on stage, and Jane calls her "cookie monster." Everyone begins to boo at her and she storms off the stage, shocked. After that, the new band Stüdz performs a song that lyrics consist of "Holly J. sucks." Holly J. is mad, and when there is only 4 hours left in the fast, orders pizza, and everyone starts eating. Anya, being in charge, does not know what to do, so she runs off crying. Holly J. follows and Anya says that she wanted to be in charge of the fast, so she could feel good about herself for once. Every time she was with Holly J. she felt bad, and she felt like Holly J. hated her, because she never let her be happy, treating her like dirt. When asked why Holly J. treated her like that, she simply said it was because Anya let her. The next day, Anya tells Holly J. that she tired of Holly J. putting her down and no longer wants to be friends. At this point, Holly J. tries to plead with her, as she says Anya is her only true friend, but Anya tells Holly J. that she did this to herself. Holly J angrily tells Anya to get over herself.
Season 8
Anya returns for another year at Degrassi, and Sav is still her boyfriend at the time. She seems to have maybe made amends with Holly J. Anya is now credited as a main character.
In Didn't We Almost Have It All, there are rumors that Anya and Sav were having sex when they were absent from school for a week. But when Anya returns to school, everyone asks her and she claims they are waiting, and that she was home sick watching soap operas.
Later before going away on a camp for the weekend in With or Without You, Anya breaks up with Sav, as he had yet to introduce her to his family. They get back together when he tells her he loves her. That night, she makes out with Sav alone in a tent, with the idea of having sex to celebrate their 6 month anniversary. But after Sav hears Alli scream, he leaves Anya to find Alli, resulting in Sav scolding his little sister for being alone in a tent with a boy. Anya overhears and breaks up with Sav, because of his double standard.
In Money for Nothing, Anya is pepped up to be going to Florida for the cheerleading nationals, and goes to pick bikinis with Mia, Chantay, and the rest of the team, which she later shows to Holly J. while she's working at The Dot. She also watches in both shock and surprise when Holly J. pours Derek's milkshake on his head. Later on, when Holly J. enters Spirit Squad practice, Anya, Chantay and the rest of the team (excluding Mia) kick Holly J. off of the squad for telling the media about Mia's sexual past.
In Lost in Love (2), Sav does almost anything he can come up with to be with Anya again, but she continuously rejects his advances. Anya finally decides to give Sav another chance, but Sav had already given up and is seen dancing with Leia, making Anya jealous.
In Jane Says (1), Anya is annoyed that Leia is starting to hang with them and their boyfriends. They also don't like that she lied about growing up with Fall Out Boy and taking them to their concert, only to let them down.
In Danger Zone, Anya and Mia go shopping, and when Peter and Sav get the call that there is a hold up at The Dot, they become worried that their girlfriends are inside. Anya and Mia are actually okay and then meet up with Peter and Sav by The Dot to see what was going on.
