Common Problems
An underbite is characterized by the lower jaw extending out, causing the lower front teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth.
Spacing problems may be caused by missing teeth, or they may only be a cosmetic or aesthetic issue.
Upper Front Teeth Protrusion
The appearance and function of your teeth are impacted by this type of bite. It is characterized by the upper teeth extending too far forward or the lower teeth not extending far enough forward.
Crowding occurs when teeth have insufficient room to erupt from the gum. Crowding can often be corrected by expansion, and many times, tooth removal can be avoided.
The upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, which may cause tooth stratification and misaligned jaw growth.
The upper front teeth extend out over the lower front teeth, sometimes causing the lower front teeth to bite into the roof of the mouth.
Proper chewing is impacted by this type of bite, in which the upper and lower front teeth do not overlap. Openbite may cause a number of unwanted habits, such as tongue thrusting.
Dental Midlines not Matched
This type of problem is caused when the back bite does not fit and match appropriately, which may negatively impact jaw and proper dental function.

Orders: FAQ's Terms & Condition's Please read this FAQ's Page & the Product Description under chosen Design, prior to placing your order. Due to the Nature of Handcrafting & Designs, All sizes are Approximate.
No cancellations once order is in production. ** All orders are Custom knit to order, made one at a time, and nonrefundable or returnable.
All our knit items are HANDCRAFTED, meaning they are individually made, one at a time, all sizes and measurements listed are APPROXIMATE and Not Guaranteed to be exact measurements stated. Size variances can occur due to different design, color combinations. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that measurements given will be exact. *Cashmere sizes can have more variances in sizes due to being fine wool. All cashmere blankets are pre-shrunk. For this reason different color combination can be up to 3" smaller after pre-shrinking.
Please read each designs Product Description: In order to minimize errors:Enter/Type name, initials, or monogram according to product description, and/or case selection, i.e. if description states all lowercase letters only, then please enter the name in all lowercase letters. Or if description states all uppercase, then enter the name or initials in all uppercase (see more below).
Problem on Orders -- If there is a problem with your order, we will email you alerting to what the problem is (with exception where we default the order without notification). We do not send an email for low contrast color choices. (Please check your Spam box for emails). If we do not receive a reply within 1 day (24 hours) of our email, we will proceed with the order at our discretion and place the order into production.
If you inform us after your order has been placed that you have entered the name or initials incorrectly on your order and production has already started, there will be an Up Charge to stop production, for materials and design time. Please review your order on the review order page, prior to selecting "Submit Order".
ENTERING NAME, INITIALS, OR MONOGRAMWhile we strive to accommodate all names, we do have some guidelines due to the allowable space, as the Name is knit directly into each design: All Designs are ONE Name Only, up to 8 consecutive, or a 3 letter monogram/initial letters allowed on all knit items (Scarfs & Pillows - we may only be able to accommodate up to 6 letters depending on the name). **Names are 8 consecutive letters, no 2 names - (no spaces between names. No 2 capital letters in one name in mixed case. If a name with 2 Capital Letters and no space between the names, {example, MaryAnn}, is entered, we will by default change to Mixed case letters (Maryann) without notification).
If Product Description states Name: One Name can be up to 8 consecutive letters. (If 2 names are entered on order with a space between names, we will by default change the order and only put the first name listed without notification.)
If Product Description states Initials: Initials will be placed in the order you have entered (not in monogram form).
If Product Description states Initial or Single Initial: this means we only can use One (1) initial on that particular design.
If Product Description states Monogram: Monograms, 3 Letters only, are always all uppercase, First, Last, Middle initials, with the center letter (last name) larger than the first and middle initial,(with exception of the Poncho, and Stacked Monogram, Monogram is First, Middle, Last). In order to minimize mistakes, Please enter/type the monogram, and/or initials in all Capitol Letters on the order (please do not use lowercase letters when typing).
Some designs are "As Shown" on sample, with no font or characterization choice; please enter/type the name according to product description.
As a suggestion, Script Fonts such as Amelia, and Corinthia do not look good in All Uppercase, however, if you choose all uppercase we will do it that way. Also note that some names, depending on the length and letter combinations can be harder to read on knits in script fonts.
Lettering and placement for your blankets may look different than what is shown on the samples. This is due to the number and particular letters in your chosen name. Letters like "l" and "i" are narrow, while letter "a", "o", and "m" & "w" are wider.
We cannot use special characters such as quotation marks, periods, dashes, accent marks, number, "&", etc. (with exception where indicated on designs).
****Designs, Lettering, Placement & Spacing are at the discretion of Butterscotch Blankees****
Name and characterization entered on order form will be defaulted to above specifications, and we reserve the right to automatically change the order without email notification. CHECK YOUR ORDER CAREFULLY, Read the Product Description on how names, initials and monograms should be entered/typed. If you have questions regarding the personalization on your order, please email us PRIOR to placing your order, as once you submit the order we cannot make any changes.
Choosing Colors: Choose a base color for your blanket, the accent color is the text
LOW CONTRAST COLORS:Please choose your colors carefully, Note on the product description of each design, that we will not use Pale Pink with White or off white, choose Med. Pink. If you enter Pale Pink we will by default change it to Med. Pink. Even though we will default with the Med. Pink it is still considered a low contrast color combination. Other low contrast combinations are: White with Off White, Pale Yellow with White or Off White, Fuchsia with Mulberry, and designs and names may not show as well as the sample on the selected design. (We do not contact you regarding your color choices or remake an item due to low contrast color choices).
YARN DYE LOTS: We do not guarantee dye lots on any of our colors, or items within the same order(Pillows, hats and blankets can be shipped from different locations). This means that if you order for example a hat, or pillow, and a blanket, the colors can vary slightly, due to different shipping locations not having the exact same dye lot of yarn. We therefore, cannot guarantee the same dye lot of yarn will be used. Acrylic Yarn Colors do not match Cashmere Yarn Colors. We do not remake items due to dye lot differences. Please be aware that different color combinations can make yarn colors look different.
BABY/STROLLER SIZE BLANKETS: Approx. 22 x 30 Acrylic & Cashmere Some baby/stroller designs vary slightly from our large blankets due to their size and allowable space. Some design we can only accommodate an initial(s) where we show a name on the larger size. This will be indicated in the Product Description.Different color combinations can result in items varying in size slightly (up to 1 1/2"). (Heathered and Dark Base Colors tend to knit slightly smaller.
CRIB/BLANKETS: Approx. 36x53 Acrylic & Cashmere Different color combinations can result in items varying in size slightly (up to 1 1/2""). (Heathered and Dark Base Colors tend to knit slightly smaller... Cashmere Blankets run slightly smaller.
New ADULT SIZE: Approx. 50X62 Acrylic Only
XL BLANKETS: Approx. 60X80 Acrylic Only
PILLOWS:Pillows are listed as 15x15 & 20x20 as this is the size pillow form(s) we use. Actual finished outside measurement will be slightly smaller so that the cover fits snugly around the forms.
HATS: Please keep in mind the names on hats. Even though we can accommodate up to 8 letters, longer names will wrap around the entire brim of the hat, especially on the small size.Different color combinations (and /or designs) can result in items varying in sizing (up to 1"). This means, for example, an order with 2 hats, in 2 different color combinations, but ordered the same size, can measure differently. This does not mean they are 2 different sizes. EARFLAP HATS run slightly smaller than Regular Hats as they are knit in 2 different knitting techniques/styles. Variances do occur (up to 1")between lighter base colors and dark base colors such as Heathered Colors/Charcoal, Heather Grey, Navy & Black as these colors of yarns knit slightly smaller/tighter. If 2 different sizes are ordered with a dark base colors, i.e. a small and a medium, they can look very similar in their sizes and should not be compared to an earflap hat that was made in a light base color.
Please do not compare sizing between the Regular knit hats and the earflap hats as they are knit in different knitting styles and stitch.
Sizing Guidelines: children's head sizes vary so please select size carefully.
Because our hats are handcrafted, size variances can occur due to designs and yarn color choices.
Small - Usually fits most 6m - 1 year, approximately 17 inch circumference.
Medium - Usually fits most 2 - 4 years, approximately 20 inch circumference
Large - 5+ and up (up to teen), approximately 22 inch circumference.
**Head Circumference is not the measurement of the hat, but with stretch of the knit, should fit a head up to that size.
**Regular hats have more stretch/give than earflap hats.
Scarfs -We can accommodate One Name, and you can enter up to 8 consecutive letters, however due to the width of the scarf, some names with 8 letters may not fit, depending on the name.
For this reason we reserve the right to alter the letters slightly from what is shown on the samples in order to accommodate the long names.

text: Born in Detroit, Stanley Miller became known as "Mouse" after illustrating countless notebooks with his signature rodent sketch. Miller found an outlet for his creativity in pin-striping cars and airbrushing hot rod designs on posters and T-shirts. Mouse migrated to San Francisco in 1964, where he first met the artists associated with Family Dog, the organization producing dance concerts at the Avalon Ballroom. With collaborator Alton Kelley, Mouse experimented broadly with composition, lettering and imagery: Kelley came up with the ideas and Mouse executed the designs. Mouse and Kelley helped to establish the psychedelic style of expression under the name Mouse Studios.

Routine eye exams are straightforward, quick and painless. Most doctors recommend screening your vision on an annual basis to ensure your vision prescription is up to date (or to determine you need one) and to make sure your eyes are healthy. Regular eye exams are the first line of defense against eye disorders, such as chronic dry eye, inflammation, glaucoma, age-related issues and cataracts.
During a regular visit, you can expect your optometrist to perform the following tests to determine your eye health:
Pre-Exam Tests. A technician will often perform a few basic tests before you see the doctor, including a color sensitivity test, peripheral vision test, a glaucoma (or "air puff" test) and a cover test to determine how well your eyes work together. He or she may also use an autorefractor, which automatically measures your vision prescription, to gain a ballpark understanding of your vision needs.
Pupillary Reactions. Using a light, the doctor checks your pupils' responsiveness. Your pupils' response to light is a natural function of the eye and is critical to your vision. While using the light, the doctor will also look at the surface of your eye for signs of dry eye, corneal scratches and bacterial debris.
Slit Lamp Test. During a slit light test (also called a biomicroscope), the doctor will shine a vertical bar of light into your eye to magnify your eye's surface and inspect for abnormalities on the cornea, iris and lens. This test usually takes a few minutes, and you may be asked to blink or stare at your doctor's ear so he can look closely at your eye's surface.
Visual Acuity and Refraction. The most well-known part of the eye exam is the visual acuity test. Your doctor will ask you to read an eye chart filled with numbers and letters with one or both eyes. Your ability to clearly read and identify the numbers and letters helps the doctor further determine your vision prescription needs. To hone in on your exact prescription, your doctor will place a large lens refractor in front of you and ask you a series of questions about which lenses make your vision better or worse.
Pupil Dilation. At the end of your exam, the doctor may ask you if you would like to have your eyes dilated. By dilating your eyes, the doctor can examine your retina and optic nerve more fully. To perform this part of the exam, the doctor will put a few drops in your eyes that cause your pupils to enlarge, letting more light in and giving him or her a better view into your eye. Your eyes may be sensitive to light for up to an hour after the test, so it's best to avoid being outside in direct sunlight afterward.

Henry Kissinger as Secretary of State in the 1970s made the term shuttle diplomacy famous in the Middle East. Some of his successors used the same strategy, but it had been a while. Well, now it's John Kerry's turn. He emerged yesterday from long separate sessions with Palestinian and Israeli officials, saying the start of peace negotiations could be within reach. NPR's Emily Harris reports.
EMILY HARRIS, BYLINE: First, it was a late night dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem Thursday, then a Friday morning meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Amman, Jordan. Back in Jerusalem Friday afternoon, back in Amman Saturday morning, Kerry's meeting schedule was always in flux.
At the last minute, he added an extra day, skipping a visit to the United Arab Emirates to keep working with both sides here. Before leaving Israel Sunday afternoon, Kerry said they made progress.
SECRETARY JOHN KERRY: The gaps were very broad when we began. They are now, I think, very narrow and we have, as I said, some work to do. I'm leaving staff here. I wouldn't be doing that if I didn't believe we had something serious to work on.
HARRIS: Lead Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said there was progress, but no breakthrough. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he was ready to negotiate immediately. After decades of this conflict, the major issues are well known. Israel says it will never compromise on security. Palestinians want enough land for a viable independent state and see Israel's continued home building in the West Bank as a direct threat. Kerry said these talks are complicated because the stakes are high.
KERRY: This is about a country, two countries and two peoples and peace and the possibilities of avoiding war and how you guarantee things where years and years of conflict, of hardened feelings and hardened emotions and hardened realities.
HARRIS: When the two sides move closer, Kerry expects to be back. Emily Harris, NPR News, Jerusalem. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

William L. Finley Papers, 1899-1946
- MSS Finley
- Collection
- 1899 - 1946
William L. Finley's papers primarily document his work as a wildlife conservationist, author, lecturer, photographer, and filmmaker from about 1900 to 1940. The collection also documents the work his wife Irene Finley and photography partner Herman Bohlman. The collection consists of published and unpublished manuscripts, lecture and field notes, reports, correspondence, photographs and motion picture films.
An addition to the collection (Accession 2014:062) is made up of correspondence and newspaper clippings documenting the wildlife conservation work of William and Irene Finley. Among the topics addressed in the correspondence include: song bird protection laws in Oregon, requests to Finley for use of his photographs, the forming of an Oregon Fish and Game Commission, biological surveys conducted by Finley, legislation in California repealing meadowlark protection, and letters by Finley to various organizations regarding the presentation of one of his lectures. A highlight among the correspondence is a thank you letter from Finley to President Theodore Roosevelt for his establishment of wild bird reservations. The clippings are newspaper articles written by Irene and William Finley about encounters with wildlife, nocturnal bird sounds, and their filming of wildlife at Paulina Lake. The four articles all appeared in editions of the "Oregon Sunday Journal."
Finley, William L. (William Lovell), 1876-1953

What is Total Knee Replacement?
Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis.
Knee Arthritis
The knee is made up of the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone) and patella (kneecap). The two menisci, the soft cartilage between the femur and tibia, serve as a cushion and help absorb shock during motion. Arthritis (inflammation of the joints), injury or other diseases of the joint can damage this protective layer, causing extreme pain and difficulty in performing daily activities. in an arthritic knee, the cartilage itself becomes thinner or completely absent. In addition, the bones become thicker around the edges of the joint and may form bony "spurs". These factors can cause pain and restrict the range of motion in the joint.
Indications for Total Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement surgery is commonly indicated for severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis. It is the most common form of knee arthritis in which the joint cartilage gradually wears away, and often affects the elderly. Your doctor may advise total knee replacement if you have:
- Severe knee pain that limits your daily activities (such as walking, getting up from a chair or climbing stairs)
- Moderate-to-severe pain that occurs during rest or awakens you at night
- Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that is not relieved with rest or medications
- Failure to obtain pain relief from medications, injections, physical therapy or other conservative treatments
- A bow-legged knee deformity
Total Knee Replacement Procedure
The goal of total knee replacement surgery is to relieve pain and restore the alignment and function of your knee.
- The surgery is performed under spinal or general anesthesia. Your surgeon will make an incision in the skin over the affected knee to expose the knee joint. Then, the damaged portions of the femur bone are cut at appropriate angles using specialized jigs. The femoral component is attached to the end of the femur with or without bone cement.
- Your surgeon then cuts or shaves the damaged area of the tibia (shinbone) and the cartilage. This removes the deformed part of the bone and any bony growths, as well as creates a smooth surface on which the implants can be attached. Next, the tibial component is secured to the end of the bone with bone cement or screws.
- Your surgeon will place a plastic piece called an articular surface between the implants to provide a smooth gliding surface for movement. This plastic insert will support the body's weight and allow the femur to move over the tibia like the original meniscus cartilage.
- The femur and the tibia with the new components are then put together to form the new knee joint.
- To make sure the patella (kneecap) glides smoothly over the new artificial knee, its rear surface is also prepared to receive a plastic component.
- With all the new components in place, the knee joint is tested through its range of motion. The entire joint is then irrigated and cleaned with a sterile solution. The incision is carefully closed; drains are inserted and a sterile dressing is placed over the incision.
Postoperative Care Following Total Knee Replacement
Rehabilitation begins immediately following the surgery. A physical therapist will teach you specific exercises to strengthen your leg and restore knee movement. Knee immobilizers are used to stabilize the knee. You will be able to walk with crutches or a walker. A continuous passive motion (CPM) machine can be used to move the knee joint. Continuous passive motion is a device attached to the treated leg that constantly moves the joint through a controlled range of motion, while you are at rest. Your physical therapist will also provide you with a home exercise program to strengthen your thigh and calf muscles.
Risks and Complications of Total Knee Replacement
As with any major surgery, the possible risks and complications associated with total knee replacement surgery include:
- Knee stiffness
- Infection
- Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis)
- Nerve and blood vessel damage
- Ligament injuries
- Patella (kneecap) dislocation
- Plastic liner wearing out
- Loosening of the implant

Digital Retinal Imaging allows your eye doctor to evaluate the health of the back of your eye, the retina. It is used to detect diseases, such as, Diabetes and Macular Degeneration. It is critical to confirm the health of the retina, optic nerve and other retinal structures.
Many eye diseases, if detected at an early stage, can be treated successfully without total loss of vision. Your Retinal Images will be stored electronically. This gives the Doctor a permanent record of the condition and state of your retina. This is very important in assisting the Doctor to detect and measure any changes to your retina each time you get your eyes examined, as many eye conditions, such as Glaucoma are diagnosed by detecting changes over time.

The Federalist. (Washington D.C.: Library of Congress). Transcription available courtesy of Project Guttenberg. https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/full-text. Last Updated on December 20, 2021
THE examples of ancient confederacies cited in my last paper have not exhausted the source of experimental instruction on this subject. There are existing institutions founded on a similar principle which merit particular consideration. The first which presents itself is the Germanic body.
In the early ages of Christianity, Germany was occupied by seven distinct nations, who had no common chief. The Franks, one of the number, having conquered the Gauls, established the kingdom which has taken its name from them. In the ninth century Charlemagne, its warlike monarch, carried his victorious arms in every direction; and Germany became a part of his vast dominions. On the dismemberment which took place under his sons this part was erected into a separate and independent empire. Charlemagne and his immediate descendants possessed the reality, as well as the ensigns and dignity of imperial power. But the principal vassals, whose fiefs had become hereditary, and who composed the national diets which Charlemagne had not abolished, gradually threw off the yoke and advanced to sovereign jurisdiction and independence. The force of imperial sovereignty was insufficient to restrain such powerful dependants, or to preserve the unity and tranquillity of the empire. The most furious private wars, accompanied with every species of calamity, were carried on between the different princes and states. The imperial authority, unable to maintain the public order, declined by degrees till it was almost extinct in the anarchy, which agitated the long interval between the death of the last emperor of the Suabian and the accession of the first emperor of the Austrian lines. In the eleventh century the emperors enjoyed full sovereignty; in the fifteenth they had little more than the symbols and decorations of power.
Out of this feudal system, which has itself many of the important features of a confederacy, has grown the federal system which constitutes the Germanic empire. Its powers are vested in a diet representing the component members of the confederacy; in the emperor, who is the executive magistrate, with a negative on the decrees of the diet; and in the imperial chamber and the aulic council, two judiciary tribunals having supreme jurisdiction in controversies which concern the empire, or which happen among its members.
The diet possesses the general power of legislating for the empire; of making war and peace; contracting alliances; assessing quotas of troops and money; constructing fortresses; regulating coin; admitting new members; and subjecting disobedient members to the ban of the empire, by which the party is degraded from his sovereign rights and his possessions forfeited. The members of the confederacy are expressly restricted from entering into compacts prejudicial to the empire; from imposing tolls and duties on their mutual intercourse, without the consent of the emperor and diet; from altering the value of money; from doing injustice to one another; or from affording assistance or retreat to disturbers of the public peace. And the ban is denounced against such as shall violate any of these restrictions. The members of the diet, as such, are subject in all cases to be judged by the emperor and diet, and in their private capacities by the aulic council and imperial chamber.
The prerogatives of the emperor are numerous. The most important of them are: his exclusive right to make propositions to the diet; to negative its resolutions; to name ambassadors; to confer dignities and titles; to fill vacant electorates; to found universities; to grant privileges not injurious to the states of the empire; to receive and apply the public revenues; and generally to watch over the public safety. In certain cases the electors form a council to him. In quality of emperor, he possesses no territory within the empire, nor receives any revenue for his support. But his revenue and dominions, in other qualities, constitute him one of the most powerful princes in Europe.
From such a parade of constitutional powers in the representatives and head of this Confederacy, the natural supposition would be that it must form an exception to the general character which belongs to its kindred systems. Nothing would be further from the reality. The fundamental principle on which it rests, that the empire is a community of sovereigns, that the diet is a representation of sovereigns, and that the laws are addressed to sovereigns, renders the empire a nerveless body, incapable of regulating its own members, insecure against external dangers, and agitated with unceasing fermentations in its own bowels.
The history of Germany is a history of wars between the emperor and the princes and states; of wars among the princes and states themselves; of the licentiousness of the strong and the oppression of the weak; of foreign intrusions and foreign intrigues; of requisitions of men and money disregarded, or partially complied with; of attempts to enforce them, altogether abortive, or attended with slaughter and desolation, involving the innocent with the guilty; of general imbecility, confusion, and misery.
In the sixteenth century, the emperor, with one part of the empire on his side, was seen engaged against the other princes and states. In one of the conflicts, the emperor himself was put to flight, and very near being made prisoner by the elector of Saxony. The late king of Prussia was more than once pitted against his imperial sovereign, and commonly proved an overmatch for him. Controversies and wars among the members themselves have been so common that the German annals are crowded with the bloody pages which describe them. Previous to the peace of Westphalia, Germany was desolated by a war of thirty years, in which the emperor, with one half of the empire, was on one side, and Sweden, with the other half, on the opposite side. Peace was at length negotiated and dictated by foreign powers; and the articles of it, to which foreign powers are parties, made a fundamental part of the Germanic constitution.
If the nation happens, on any emergency, to be more united by the necessity of self-defense, its situation is still deplorable. Military preparations must be preceded by so many tedious discussions, arising from the jealousies, pride, separate views, and clashing pretensions of sovereign bodies, that before the diet can settle the arrangements, the enemy are in the field; and before the federal troops are ready to take it, are retiring into winter quarters.
The small body of national troops, which has been judged necessary in time of peace, is defectively kept up, badly paid, infected with local prejudices, and supported by irregular and disproportionate contributions to the treasury.
The impossibility of maintaining order and dispensing justice among these sovereign subjects produced the experiment of dividing the empire into nine or ten circles or districts; of giving them an interior organization; and of charging them with the military execution of the laws against delinquent and contumacious members. This experiment has only served to demonstrate more fully the radical vice of the constitution. Each circle is the miniature picture of the deformities of this political monster. They either fail to execute their commissions, or they do it with all the devastation and carnage of civil war. Sometimes whole circles are defaulters; and then they increase the mischief which they were instituted to remedy.
We may form some judgment of this scheme of military coercion from a sample given by Thuanus. In Donawerth, a free and imperial city of the circle of Suabia, the Abbe de St. Croix enjoyed certain immunities which had been reserved to him. In the exercise of these, on some public occasions outrages were committed on him by the people of the city. The consequence was that the city was put under the ban of the empire, and the Duke of Bavaria, though director of another circle, obtained an appointment to enforce it. He soon appeared before the city with a corps of ten thousand troops, and finding it a fit occasion, as he had secretly intended from the beginning, to revive an antiquated claim on the pretext that his ancestors had suffered the place to be dismembered from his territory, he took possession of it in his own name, disarmed and punished the inhabitants, and re-annexed the city to his domains.
It may be asked, perhaps, what has so long kept this disjointed machine from falling entirely to pieces? The answer is obvious: The weakness of most of the members, who are unwilling to expose themselves to the mercy of foreign powers; the weakness of most of the principal members, compared with the formidable powers all around them; the vast weight and influence which the emperor derives from his separate and hereditary dominions; and the interest he feels in preserving a system with which his family pride is connected, and which constitutes him the first prince in Europe. These causes support a feeble and precarious Union, whilst the repellant quality incident to the nature of sovereignty, and which time continually strengthens, prevents any reform whatever founded on a proper consolidation. Nor is it to be imagined, if this obstacle could be surmounted, that the neighboring powers would suffer a revolution to take place, which would give to the empire the force and pre-eminence to which it is entitled. Foreign nations have long considered themselves as interested in the changes made by events in this constitution, and have on various occasions, betrayed their policy of perpetuating its anarchy and weakness.
If more direct examples were wanting, Poland, as a government over local sovereigns, might not improperly be taken notice of. Nor could any proof more striking be given of the calamities flowing from such institutions. Equally unfit for self-government and self-defense, it has long been at the mercy of its powerful neighbors, who have lately had the mercy to disburden it of one third of its people and territories.
The connection among the Swiss cantons scarcely amounts to a confederacy, though it is sometimes cited as an instance of the stability of such institutions.
They have no common treasury; no common troops even in war; no common coin; no common judicatory; nor any other common mark of sovereignty.
They are kept together by the peculiarity of their topographical position; by their individual weakness and insignificancy; by the fear of powerful neighbors, to one of which they were formerly subject; by the few sources of contention among a people of such simple and homogeneous manners; by their joint interest in their dependent possessions; by the mutual aid they stand in need of for suppressing insurrections and rebellions, an aid expressly stipulated and often required and afforded; and by the necessity of some regular and permanent provision for accommodating disputes among the cantons. The provision is, that the parties at variance shall each choose four judges out of the neutral cantons, who, in case of disagreement, choose an umpire. This tribunal, under an oath of impartiality, pronounces definitive sentence, which all the cantons are bound to enforce. The competency of this regulation may be estimated by a clause in their treaty of 1683, with Victor Amadeus of Savoy; in which he obliges himself to interpose as mediator in disputes between the cantons, and to employ force, if necessary, against the contumacious party.
So far as the peculiarity of their case will admit of comparison with that of the United States, it serves to confirm the principle intended to be established. Whatever efficacy the union may have had in ordinary cases, it appears that the moment a cause of difference sprang up capable of trying its strength it failed. The controversies on the subject of religion, which in three instances have kindled violent and bloody contests, may be said, in fact, to have severed the league. The Protestant and Catholic cantons have since had their separate diets, where all the most important concerns are adjusted, and which have left the general diet little other business than to take care of the common bailages.
That separation had another consequence which merits attention. It produced opposite alliances with foreign powers: of Berne, at the head of the Protestant association, with the United Provinces; and of Luzerne, as the head of the Catholic association, with France.

Can you cut my logo/design out of metal?
The only way to tell if your logo or design is possible is to send me an artwork file and the dimensions. I need both pieces of info to tell you what is possible.
I currently offer a RAW STEEL finish as standard on all signs. Left untreated the sign will rust and develop a natural patina completely unique to your environment. Due to the nature of raw steel, each piece will vary in look, giving you a unique piece.
The INDOOR FLAT CLEAR coat is the best option if you like the look of the raw steel. It is an oil based clear coat that will hold up well inside and is easy to clean. This finish leaves the steel a few shades darker, sometimes even black.
A UV protected SILVER, GLOSS CLEAR or FLAT BLACK powder coat will protect the steel in the toughest conditions including outside in wet and salty environments. Powder coat is a thick industrial coating that is VOC free and holds up for many years.
Custom and Personalized Orders
If you like a design but want something tweaked, changed, massaged or added, let me know and I can work up a truly unique piece for you. My custom work is priced by the size and finish selected. Contact me and I will set up a Custom Listing just for you!

One in every four Americans receives their news digitally from mobile devices, which are helping to expand the consumption of journalism across multiple sources, according to a new report released Monday.
The 2012 State of the News Media Report, conducted by Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism, provides an in-depth examination of how Americans read news as their consumption habits transition from the printed form to the digital.
"News is becoming a more important and pervasive part of people's lives," Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, said in the report.
Pathways To News
The study finds that laptop and desktop computers remain the dominant portal for delivering digital news, but the more portable smartphones and tablets are rapidly closing the gap. Mobile devices also are leading users to consume more news and for longer periods of time.
And, while we've grown accustomed to huge news breaking on Twitter and embarrassing break-ups surfacing on Facebook, the Pew Research Center's research indicates that the two platforms aren't such powerful "drivers" of news.
The two platforms remain an "additive" source for news rather than a replacement for the dominant digital sources — news websites and online searches — according to the study.
Only 9 percent of American adults "very often" click on news recommendations on Facebook or Twitter, according to the study. Another 36 percent of adults surf directly to news organizations; 32 percent get news from Web searches; and 29 percent access a news aggregator or app.
"Facebook and Twitter are now pathways to news, but their role may not be as large as some have suggested," Pew researchers say in the study. "The population that uses these networks for news at all is still relatively small, especially the part that does so very often."
But that includes the responses of adults who don't get any news digitally. Among digital news consumers, the popularity of Facebook and Twitter is becoming — to borrow a popular online adjective — #epic.
When the study focused on those who depend entirely on the Web for news, 52 percent of adults said they turn to Facebook or Twitter. That still pales next to news websites, the preference of 92 percent of digital-only consumers, and search engines, the top choice for 85 percent of them.
Facebook > Twitter News? #NotNecessarily
Facebook, the larger and established medium, is the more common news source: More than twice as many people read news recommended on Facebook than on Twitter, the study shows.
Facebook users "are much less likely" to use Twitter than vice versa, the study indicates. And only 13 percent of people follow news recommendations on both Facebook and Twitter.
Quantity doesn't quite equal quality, either. People expressed clear differences about the originality of news found on the two platforms.
Among digital news consumers, the popularity of Facebook and Twitter is becoming — to borrow a popular online adjective — #epic.
Fifty-six percent of people found Facebook news to be "replaceable" or "news they largely would have gotten elsewhere," while 43 percent of them said the same about news on Twitter.
The study suggested that Twitter offers a "somewhat broader" variety of news and has the effect on users of "expanding their knowledge and source list."
Mobile Devices Are Gaining
Broadly, as the study indicates, people consume digital, Web-based news depending on the devices they own.
Laptop and desktop computers remain the primary device through which Americans receive their digital news, a finding that comes as no surprise since computer ownership has reached more than three-quarters of the adult population. The study shows that 54 percent of people log on to computers for their news.
But laptop sales have gradually slowed as smartphones have become nearly ubiquitous, and tablets the latest craze, as confirmed by the Friday release of Apple's iPad 3.
The study finds that 44 percent of adults now own a smartphone and 18 percent of adults own a tablet. Perhaps driven by last year's release of the iPad 2, tablet ownership among adults has soared 50 percent since last summer, Pew says.
More Devices, More News Consumed
Armed with multiple gadgets, people increasingly split their news consumption across more than one device. Nearly a quarter of adults now do so, the study finds. They read news through some combination of computer and smartphone, computer and tablet, tablet and smartphone — or on all three, according to the study.
This, the study suggests, is where news organizations have a growth opportunity, because the expanded use of mobile devices is leading people to consume more news.
Contrary to what some might believe, people's obsessions with apps such as Words With Friends, Temple Run or Instagram apparently aren't preventing them from staying connected with the real world.
Indeed, the majority of all computer, smartphone and tablet owners use their devices to read news, according to Pew. The study also drills down on data from the firm Localytics that shows users of mobile devices take in more news and over longer sittings.
People who regularly use multiple mobile devices are far more likely to get news through social media. For instance, 67 percent of those who use both a smartphone and tablet follow news recommendations on Facebook. And 39 percent of them click on news items posted on Twitter.
By comparison, only 41 percent of those who only use a computer click on news posted on Facebook; just 9 percent of them go to tweeted news.

New declassified documents, on display at the Nixon Library, released by the Clinton Library and obtained by the Associated Press, show that Nixon sent Clinton a letter after he won the presidency.
"The strongest steel must pass through the hottest fire," Nixon wrote, according to the AP. "In enduring that ordeal you have demonstrated that you have the character to lead not just America but the forces of peace and freedom in the world."
Along with the letter, the museum will display a video of Clinton talking about his relationship with Nixon, who provided him with advice on Russia.
"I sought guidance in the example of President Nixon, who came to the presidency at a time in our history when Americans were tempted to say, 'We've had enough of the world,'" Clinton said in the video. "But President Nixon knew we had to continue to reach out to old friends and to old enemies alike. He knew America could not quit the world."
CBS News spoke to presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, who said the relationship served both men.
"It's a very fascinating letter because he's opening up the door to the new incoming president that I'm on your side, that I am impressed by you, that you have the moxy, you have the steel to be president and I'm here," Brinkley told CBS. "What's interesting was how Nixon was able to start rehabilitating himself and had been shunned largely by Reagan and Bush and was welcoming an overture with the new Democratic president. And Clinton took it."
We've called the Nixon library to try to obtain a copy of the letter. We'll update this post once we've gotten it.
Update at 12:50 p.m. ET. An Excellent Read:
These documents give a little more texture to the relationship R.W. Apple Jr. wrote about in a must-read 1994 piece in The New York Times.
As he explained, the two "hardly seemed made for each other."
But after Nixon's death, Clinton was generous in his embrace of Nixon, saying that he managed "to leave his mark on his times as few figures have done in our history." Apple wrote:
"Some of the President's aides were a little surprised. The Vietnam policies the young Bill Clinton protested against were Richard Nixon's policies and the draft that he at first tried so hard to avoid was overseen by Mr. Nixon. His wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, worked as a lawyer for the House Judiciary Committee as it weighed impeachment charges against Mr. Nixon.
"But David R. Gergen, who worked in the Nixon White House and works in the Clinton White House, said the President wanted "to do this in a first-rate way." He was under no legal or political compulsion to go all-out. But as he said on television on Friday night, an- nouncing the former President's death from the darkened White House Rose Garden, "It's impossible to be in this job without feeling a special bond with the people who have gone before" — the other 41 members of one of the world's exclusive fraternities."

Miniature Sausage Stuffed Peppers + Small Plate Giveaway
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of the National Pork Board. They recently conducted a survey to identify food trends that are appealing to American cooks this holiday season. They found six recurring themes for their 2011 Pork's Perfect Paring's guide and asked cookbook author Jill Silverman Hough to develop a pork recipe to go with each of them. They also asked some members of the blogging community to provide recipes and holiday ideas for each of the themes they were highlighting. I focused my attention on the Smitten with Small Plates category and for the next three days I'll be featuring pork dishes that work well as appetizers or small plate meals.
I think you'll all enjoy the recipes I'm featuring and the National Pork Board has a Small Plates gift set waiting for one of you. The gift set includes: $25 worth of pork coupons; Jill Silverman Hough cookbooks, including 100 Perfect Pairings: Main Dishes to Enjoy with the Wines You Love and 100 Perfect Pairings: Small Plates to Enjoy with the Wines You Love; an instant-read digital thermometer; tapas-style small plates and decorative skewers for holiday appetizers. If you'd like a chance to win, simply comment on one, or all three, of the recipes that are part of this promotion. Everyone can enter up to three entries to the drawing The winner, chosen by a random number drawing, will be announced on Saturday, December 17th. Good luck! While I have received a similar gift package, the opinions in this post are 100% mine.
I was immediately drawn to the color and novelty of the miniature peppers in the market this past week. I purchased a bag of them with no particular plan or recipe in mind and brought them home to puzzle the use to which they would be put. My family loves peppers and they have an equal fondness for Sicilian sausage. I decided to combine the two and came up with the miniature stuffed peppers that are being featured today. I started with a very mild Italian sausage to which I added cheese, parsley, rice, garlic and some fennel. While it chilled, I removed the tops and seeds from the small peppers and brushed their exteriors with a really heady olive oil. Each of the peppers was stuffed with a tablespoon or so of the sausage mixture and placed in a lightly oiled pan for baking. These are very simple to make and you'll have no problems with them as long as you don't over-stuff the peppers. The filling will expand as the peppers bake and if there is too much stuffing they will crack. They can be made hours ahead of serving, then brought to room temperature and baked for about 20 minutes before being served on individual plates. They have some substance, so they can be can eaten with fingers or served with a fork. The number of finished peppers will depend on their size, but you'll have 24 to 36 peppers to serve your family or guests. Here's the recipe.
Miniature Sausage Stuffed Peppers...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
36 miniature bell peppers
1 pound mild Italian or pork sausage
1/2 cup cooked rice
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried fennel seeds
1 large egg, beaten
Extra-virgin olive oil
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the bottom of a baking dish with olive oil. Set aside.
2) Cut tops from miniature peppers. Remove seeds and ribs and brush peppers with olive oil. Set aside.
3) Combine sausage, rice, cheese, parsley, garlic, fennel seeds and egg. Mix well. Fry a small patty of the mixture in a frying pan to check for seasoning. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
4) Stuff each peppers with about 1 tablespoon sausage mixture. Mound slightly, but do not pack or overstuff them. Place in prepared pan.
5) Bake for about 20 minutes, or until peppers can be pierced with a fork and the sausage is cooked through. Yield: 24 to 36 peppers.

Yum... we make stuffed peppers too.. Italian peppers.. sometimes I slice them longways and grill them and sometimes I just stuff them whole like you did.. Its one of our favorite ways to use sausage..
We mix pecorino with the sausage and a whole lot of Italian dressing, stuff and let rest in the frig an hour or two.. (or overnight) and then grill or bake & broil.. Pure heaven! - December 12, 2011 at 5:16 AM

I love sausage and peppers, but I never thought that they could be so cute! I think I'd probably have to grow my own mini peppers, because I have only ever seen them that small when they are hot.

I love small bites - maybe I think I'm not consuming as many calories (then I add up all the small bites). Love what you did with them and will follow suit. I have found that I am eating more pork lately. The autumn/winter? Or did we all just remember how good it is and be relieved to not have chicken 5 days a week?

You have two carotid arteries in your neck that bring blood from your heart to your brain. The test may also look at the vertebrobasilar artery. This artery also brings blood to your brain.
Your healthcare provider uses a device called a transducer to make pictures of the arteries. The transducer sends out sound waves that bounce off your blood vessels. The sound waves are too high-pitched for you to hear. The transducer then picks up the bounced sound waves and makes them into pictures. A duplex scan means that the provider uses two transducers. The second one (Doppler) lets your healthcare provider hear the sound waves the transducer sends out. Your healthcare provider can hear how fast blood is flowing through a blood vessel and in which direction it is flowing. No sound or a faint sound may mean that you have a blockage in the flow.
You may need this scan if your healthcare provider thinks you may have:
A blockage in a carotid artery
Narrowing (stenosis) in a carotid artery
A blockage may be caused by a buildup of fatty material (plaque), a blood clot (thrombus), or other substances.
Symptoms of blockage may include:
Temporary blindness in one eye
Temporary inability to speak or move
These symptoms may be early warning signs of a stroke.
You may also need this scan even if you have no symptoms but your healthcare provider hears an abnormal sound (bruit) in an artery. This abnormal sound may mean that you have a problem with blood flow in the artery.
Here are other reasons you may have this scan:
To see how well blood is flowing after a procedure is done on an artery. This may have been a procedure to open up an artery (angioplasty) or surgery to bypass a blocked artery.
To see how well blood is flowing before you have major heart surgery. This surgery may be bypass surgery or surgery to repair or replace a heart valve.
To find where clotted blood has collected (hematoma)
To find out if an artery wall has split (dissection). This may cause a blockage or weaken the artery wall.
Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to recommend a carotid artery duplex scan.
This scan has no risk from radiation. The transducer usually causes no discomfort when put on your skin.
You may have risks depending on your specific health condition. Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider about any concerns you have before the scan.
Certain things can make this scan less accurate. These include:
Severe obesity
Irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
Heart disease
Your healthcare provider will explain the procedure to you. Ask your healthcare provider any questions you have about the procedure.
You may be asked to sign a consent form that gives permission to do the test. Read the form carefully and ask questions if anything is not clear.
You don't need to stop eating or drinking before the test. You also will not need medicine to help you relax (sedation).
If you smoke, you may need to stop for at least 2 hours before the test. Smoking causes blood vessels to narrow. You may also be asked to not drink or eat any foods with caffeine for about 2 hours before the test.
Follow any other instructions your healthcare provider gives you to get ready.
You may have this scan as an outpatient or as part of your stay in a hospital. The way the test is done may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, a carotid artery duplex scan follows this process:
You will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may get in the way of the scan.
You will be given a gown to wear.
You will lie on an exam table with your neck slightly bent backward.
The technologist will put a clear gel on the skin over the area where the carotid arteries are.
The Doppler transducer will be pressed against the skin and moved around over the area of the artery being looked at.
When blood flow is detected, you will hear a "whoosh, whoosh" sound. The probe will be moved around to look at blood flow in different areas of the artery. Both sides of your neck will be looked at.
Once the test is done, the technologist will wipe off the gel.
The carotid artery duplex scan is not painful. But you may have some discomfort from lying still during the test. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and finish the procedure as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort.
You don't need any special care after a carotid artery duplex scan. You may go back to your usual diet and activities unless your healthcare provider tells you otherwise.
Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions, depending on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure, make sure you know:
The name of the test or procedure
The reason you are having the test or procedure
What results to expect and what they mean
The risks and benefits of the test or procedure
What the possible side effects or complications are
When and where you are to have the test or procedure
Who will do the test or procedure and what that person's qualifications are
What would happen if you did not have the test or procedure
Any alternative tests or procedures to think about
When and how you will get the results
Who to call after the test or procedure if you have questions or problems
How much you will have to pay for the test or procedure

Late night Brockley
The new management of the Aquarium - widely regarded as having improved the place since they took over - have applied for a late night alcohol license.
This doesn't come as a huge surprise as Aquarium seems to be pitching itself as more of a bar that does food than a restaurant that you can get a drink at. The front room has largely been cleared of tables and the other night we passed by as one of the salsa classes they have recently introduced was going on. The management is clearly working hard to make the place (which struggled as Ecosium) a success.
This part of Brockley desperately needs a good alternative to the Barge and we don't forsee a license extension causing an epidemic of anti-social actitivity, so BC would be in favour.
Applied for sale of alcohol on the premises Monday – Sunday 10:00 – 03:00, Provision of Regulated Entertainment and Provision of Entertainment Facilities Monday – Sunday 09.30 – 03.30.
Current Licence
Alcohol – Monday – Sunday 10.00 – 23.00
Regulated Entertainment – Monday – Sunday 09.30 – 23.30
