I'm sure Mr. Brake, based on his editorial, is all for states' rights. Some states — like, say, Massachusetts — choose to elevate their state in the form of socialized health care, education, same-sex marriages, medical marijuana and have said that no, corporations do not get to claim "personhood."
Our state chooses a governor who boycotts a presidential visit and then petitions the Federal Emergency Management Agency for financial aid after fire and tornado disasters. FEMA being yet another example of a federal program that Mr. Brake and our governor claim that we can no longer afford to fund.
I think New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had his mind changed about FEMA funding by a little storm called Sandy. How ironic.
So, by God, let's just "secede from the Union" so we don't have to play by any rules except what our state leaders dream up. Folks, we already have.

|dog in the manger
|a. a person who prevents others from using something he has no use for
|b. (as modifier): a dog-in-the-manger attitude
A person who spitefully refuses to let someone else benefit from something for which he or she has no personal use: "We asked our neighbor for the fence posts he had left over, but, like a dog in the manger, he threw them out rather than give them to us." The phrase comes from one of Aesop's fables, about a dog lying in a manger full of hay. When an ox tries to eat some hay, the dog bites him, despite the fact that the hay is of no use to the dog.

Submitted by Hamilton Health Care System
The Respiratory Care Department of Hamilton Medical Center has reached a rare milestone by having 100 percent of its clinical staff designated as registered respiratory therapists. This is a remarkable accomplishment as very few hospital respiratory care departments nationwide have achieved this status.
In the United States there are two levels of certification in the field of respiratory care — certified respiratory therapist (CRT) and registered respiratory therapist (RRT).
After obtaining the CRT designation, a therapist must pass additional exams to qualify as a registered respiratory therapist. Both CRT and RRT therapists are fully qualified to perform patient therapy; however, the CRT designation is an entry level certification and RRT designates an advanced practice respiratory therapist.
Dr. Erick Kimmerling, board certified in internal medicine and pulmonary disease, serves as medical director for Hamilton's Respiratory Care Department.
"Our respiratory department has a strong focus on competency and is continually teaching and testing our therapists to increase their level of knowledge," said Kimmerling. "Students from three different schools of respiratory care train at Hamilton Medical Center and those students often comment on the level of competency and teamwork displayed at our facility."
According to respiratory care director Jeff Hughes (RRT), "Our department has very high standards of care. The therapists treat our patients with compassion while providing pulmonary services on the leading edge of technology."
The director of Hamilton's hospitalist program, Dr. Laura Conger, agrees. "They are very proactive in assisting physicians to manage the needs of our patients with lung problems," she said. "They have a good understanding of pulmonary medicine and the treatments available to help our patients breathe easier."
Respiratory therapists typically work with the sickest patients in the hospital. They are responsible for the evaluation and treatment of patients with lung disorders and specialize in the treatment of disorders of the pulmonary system such as asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), pneumonia, respiratory failure, adult respiratory distress syndrome and disorders resulting from trauma. They work with all types of patients, from newborn babies through geriatric age adults.

Here's SB Nation's review of NCAA 13 from their YouTube channel. If you don't subscribe to it, check it out! Hope to have a Gobbler Country review out of the game in next week.
Hey everyone, If you're as excited as me for NCAA 13 and don't want to name the players on the Hokies yourself (or don't feel like waiting for named rosters yourself) you can download the teambuilder team I created. There were a few freshmen who I didn't know who to choose between, Nick Dew is still on the team and EA Teambuilder has a filter that doesn't allow Gayle, Wang, or Van DYke, so those names had to be spelled wrong intentionally. Open to any other suggestions-feel free to leave comments!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Life Behind the Pine Curtain is a series of anecdotes collected and edited by Herald-Press Publisher Gary Connor.
I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one-ton truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.
When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
"Oh, that's my trouble tree," he replied "I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure. Those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again. Funny thing is," he smiled, "When I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before."
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance. We all need a tree.

Yeah, they may do a good job with it, but Kris did so well with it just last season that I'm not sure it's a good choice.
OH MY GOD, Crystal & Lee singing Falling Slowly!!
THAT was the performance of the SEASON for me!!
Can I be the one to look into Lee's eyes? I love Crystal's voice, those two were awesome! Can we please just say piss off to Mike and Casey?
I didn't like Casey's version of Mrs. Robinson. I can't remember anyone ever singing it other than S&G.
Casey needs to go now... he should have left last week... He sounds like a goat...
Caddyshack! Will she dress like the dancing gopher?
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
Crystal best by far tonight. No contest.
ok - we've been sayin' it for weeks, crown crystal the winner and go on to SYTYCD
Crystal is da bomb... that is all...
I will personally send a bazillion condolence flowers to Crystal if she is robbed of the crown this season.
Duet is ok...
The duets were better than the solos for me. Crystal had the best solo, by far. I voted for Crystal and Mike, just because I like Mike's voice so much even if he comes across boring most of the time.
"Michelle would never be caught with sausage grease staining her Vera Wang." - rfisher
That was a rough night. Crystal by far did the best. The guys were pretty lame. I'd say Michael was second best, and Lee and Casey were both hideous. I'd go with Lee over Casey since his duet with Crystal was so good. Casey needs to go.
Even though the night was lame overall, the one amazing highlight was Crystal-Lee's duet of "Falling Slowly". I immediately bought the song off Itunes. Studio version is incredible!

"There exist an infinite number of parallel universes and planes of existence in the fantastic "multiverse" of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. All of these "worlds" co-exist, but how "real" each is depends entirely upon the development of each by the campaign referee."
--1st Edition Player's Handbook
"There exist an infinite number of parallel universes and planes of existence in the fantastic "multiverse" of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. All of these "worlds" co-exist, but how "real" each is depends entirely upon the development of each by the campaign referee."
--1st Edition Player's Handbook
In this episode of D&D Alumni, we look back at previous incarnations of the planes and how the game's cosmology changed throughout the editions -- particularly between 1st Edition's original Manual of the Planes and 4th Edition's version coming out this month.
1st Edition's Manual of the Planes, released back in 1987, states in its introduction: "The concept of the planes has evolved in the time since the creation of the AD&D game; it will continue to evolve long after this book goes to print." Truer words were never spoken. As explained in Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters, the Great Wheel model of past edition cosmology was slain, in effect, in order to better achieve two fundamental goals of 4th Edition:
One of my mantras throughout the design of 4th Edition has been, "Down with needless symmetry!" The cosmology that has defined the planes of the D&D multiverse for thirty years is a good example of symmetry that ultimately creates more problems than it solves. Not only is there a plane for every alignment, there's a plane between each alignment -- seventeen Outer Planes that are supposed to reflect the characteristics of fine shades of alignment. There's not only a plane for each of the four classic elements, there's a Positive Energy Plane, a Negative Energy Plane, and a plane where each other plane meets -- an unfortunate circumstance that has resulted in creatures such as ooze mephits.
The planes were there, so we had to invent creatures to fill them. Worse than the needless symmetry of it all, though, is the fact that many of those planes are virtually impossible to adventure in. Traversing a plane that's supposed to be an infinite three-dimensional space completely filled with elemental fire takes a lot of magical protection and fundamentally just doesn't sound fun. How do you reconcile that with the idea of the City of Brass, legendary home of the efreet? Why is there air in that city?
--James Wyatt, Wizards Presents: Worlds and Monsters
Jeff Grubb, author of the 1E Manual of the Planes, shared some thoughts on his design process, starting with the following disclaimer:
"I would like to state, for the record, that I organized the arrangement of the planes without the use of recreational pharmaceuticals.
With that out of the way, "the big thing I loved about the first Manual of the Planes is that we had to pull together a wide variety of source material -- articles by Ed (Greenwood) and Roger (Moore), Jim (Ward)'s addition of Concordant Opposition, notes from various monsters, the original picture of the Great Wheel, and were challenged to make things cool and other-worldly -- stuff you would not see in your standard campaign."
And there certainly was a huge variety of source material to organize, including from the earliest issues of Dragon Magazine. The Known Planes of Existence later appeared in the appendix of the 1st Edition Player's Handbook (itself a strange collection), wedged in after the bard class and the character alignment graph, and just before "Suggested Agreements of the Division of Treasure."
This was expanded somewhat in the 1E DMG, where all of five paragraphs were devoted to "Travel in the Known Planes of Existence." This brief section explained that "in the Prime Material are countless suns, planets, galaxies, universes. So too are there endless parallel worlds." In other words, the Prime Material itself was infinite, it contained similarly infinite parallel worlds, and surrounding them all were an immense number of other planes which were also infinite and could contain their own infinite, subordinate planes. Is it any wonder that DMs could feel overwhelmed? They were also told, "the so-called planes are your ticket to creativity, and I mean that with a capital C! Everything can be absolutely different," up to and including the stats that define a character and the way the game's rules work. In fact, if you wanted to switch to a different game entirely upon reaching a certain plane -- Boot Hill (Wild West roleplaying), Gamma World (post-apocalypse roleplaying), or even Tractics (WW2 tactical miniatures) -- then by all means, do so! But note that all of the alternative games mentioned were published by TSR, Inc.
Prophetically, the DMG also noted that, "While as of this particular writing there are no commercially available 'other planes' modules, I am certain that there will be soon -- it is simply too big an opportunity to pass up, and the need is great."
As predicted, various sourcebooks brought further details of the planes; new demons and devils, of course, but also (in the 1st Edition Fiend Folio) the Elemental Princes of Evil: Cryonax (prince of evil cold creatures, with cold somehow elevated to the state of a new Greek classical element that the others were based upon), Imix (fire), the holiday-weight packing Ogremoch (earth), Olhydra (water), and Yan-C-Bin (prince of evil aerial creatures). Kevin Baase and Eric Jansing updated the princes for 3.5 Edition back in Dragon #347 -- with much improved art. Even that was a difficult challenge when the original princes had such descriptions as: "Cryonax appears as a 15' tall yeti with tentacles covered with suction cups in place of arms." Loved by many, puzzling to many more, 1st Edition's Monster Manual II then brought us the modrons of Nirvana -- from the monodrones on up to Primus (The One), and their "society (where) all beings are classified, all actions regulated, and all procedures delineated. Obedience to the laws is immediate and unquestioned" (all very loosely inspired by the tale of Flatland, a 19th-century mathematical satire).
For many players, their first foray into the planes may have come from Q1: The Demonweb Pits, climax of the massive adventure series which began with a raid against the steading of a certain hill giant chief. (Side note: When it comes to the Battle in Seattle, I graciously concede defeat, with Against the Giants now firmly ahead of Tomb of Horrors 43% to 37%.) The series concluded in Q1 with an attack against Lolth's very layer of the Abyss, where the environment itself proved an extreme hazard and magic spells and items did not function as expected -- such as wish, for just one example (as if 1st Edition wish was not already risky enough to cast: it aged a caster 3 years, required 2-8 days of bed rest, and tempted humorously literal interpretations by the DM):
Wish: Any wishes made must be acceptable to and granted by the ruler of the plane (i.e. Lolth herself) to take effect. If the wish upsets the spider queen, she not only refuses to grant it but also sends four demons (two each of Types III and IV) to attack the party. Prior to attacking, the demons announce that Lolth does not grant the wish, and sends punishment instead. Note, however, that wishes that do not offend Lolth directly nor upset her realm will be granted, as the refusal of such powerful magic is far more strenuous than simply granting the request.
High-level characters could also access several planes via the 7th-level cleric/9th-level magic-user astral spell allowing them to: "project his or her astral body into the Astral Plane, leaving his or her physical body and material possessions behind on the Prime Material Plane. Only certain magic items which have multi-planed existence can be brought into the Astral Plane … At all times the astral body is connected to the material by a silvery cord. If the cord is broken, the affected person is killed, astrally and materially, but generally only the psychic wind can normally cause the cord to break."
Early planar material from Dragon Magazine included an alternate version of a silver sword, designed by Ed Greenwood back in issue #47. Syrar's silver sword was a +1 weapon that allowed users to see into, and attack creatures within, the astral and ethereal planes ("in much the same way as a cockatrice and similar creatures do").
Syrar might not have advanced into later editions, as certainly not everything in those early issues found their way into the Manual of the Planes. Other castaways from the island of misfit planar toys include the flard: towering pillars of white marble of infinite height that could be awoken to answer questions, and kept its treasure within a cache treated as a secret door.
Generally, normally, but not always. Danger came in the Fiend Folio, when the githyanki were introduced (originated by Charles Stross within the pages of White Dwarf magazine) along with their silver swords: +3 weapons which, if used astrally, had a 20% chance per melee round of cutting one's silver cord. In 3rd Edition, both silver swords and silver cords remained. In 4th Edition, silver swords appeared within the powers of the githyanki and most recently as a new magic item in the Manual of the Planes -- causing psychic damage and the potential to teleport opponents away to a demiplane.
Actually owning one of these swords is a questionable tactic, however, thanks to the githyanki's fierce connection to their weapons. "It is rumored that each githyanki warrior has but one silver sword, and if the weapon is lost or stolen, the githyanki must seek it out at all costs or be killed by its superiors. That may only be a legend, but githyanki have been known to exact terrible revenge against those who steal their silver swords or win them in battle."
A cornered James Wyatt has since confessed that the Astral Plane always came with a fair bit of baggage. In 4th Edition, the intent was to strip some of that away, including New Age-style notions of astral projection per se; thus, the absence of the silver cord. The designers wanted more emphasis on portals to reach astral dominions and less time spent in the astral sea. Keeping to the goal of making the planes more fun for adventure, a silver cord that, if severed, results in the immediate death of the adventurer seems a fitting sacred cow to lead into the slaughter chute.
When it came to further "stuff you would not see in your standard campaign," Jeff Grubb explained this also meant "the very hostile inner planes and the strange-terrained outer planes." The often-complete hostility of these planes also ran counter to 4th Edition design goals. In his recent Design & Development article, Rich Baker further elaborated: "There were many things we loved about the cosmology of earlier editions, but we definitely saw some difficult friction points that we wanted to work on. These points included the elemental planes … . With the exception of the plane of Air, they were pretty much instantly lethal to unprotected characters. Most of the relatively few adventures set in these places actually took place in air pockets in the otherwise hostile planes. Places you can't go aren't very useful for the game."
Another point included the staggering complexity of infinite planes: "We wondered if it was really necessary for everything to be infinite when most D&D games visited just a few specific points of interest in each plane."
That said, Jeff did manage to work out linking the infiniteness of his initial Nine Hells in a fairly poetic manner. "The other thing I really am proud of was figuring out how the Nine Hells worked. We had supposedly infinite levels which descended. I ended up putting the gates from the upper levels on the high points and the gates to the lower levels at the bottom, so we could create a continual feel of descending into the pit."
Other changes to the planes (as James relates in the same Design & Development article) were made to avoid bypassing the adventure altogether -- such as by going ethereal. This strategy has been a notorious thorn in editions past. Bruce Cordell, for example, stocked his 2nd Edition Return to the Tomb of Horrors and 3.5 Edition Tomb of Horrors conversion with demons (owing their allegiance to the balor Tarnhem) who not only attacked ethereal intruders trying to bypass challenges but also to reset traps and repair any damage caused by explorers … thus explaining the tomb's pristine condition despite years of adventurers finding their untimely ends within!
(Acererak himself had an unusual link to the planes -- his soul "roamed strange planes unknown to even the wisest of sages." For that reason -- presumably -- one of the few ways to destroy him was to utter a power word: kill while in astral or ethereal form. Did anyone ever think to actually try that?)
Another creature guarding unwelcome forays into the Ethereal Plane included the cover model: 1st Edition's ethereal dreadnought, later morphing into the astral dreadnought. Although the dreadnought was never statted out in the 1st Manual itself, the 4th Edition version has been detailed in a preview.
"We also engaged in an early version of templating," Jeff has said, about the 1st edition Manual, "as we tailored creatures for their planar analogs … way back in 1st edition. Oh, and the marut … I create few monsters, but it's nice to see this one growing over the years into the inevitables."
As with the cosmology itself, its inhabitants have likewise evolved throughout the editions, including the maruts. The 1st Edition Manual of the Planes described them as servants of Rudra, "a violent, compassionless death-god (from the Indian mythos) whose realm, though no less thick than the others, opens into a huge chasm. Within this chasm Rudra is said to fire his arrows into the Prime Material, culling the weak and leaving the worthy. He is served in this plane by the maruts, unliving creatures similar to storm giants in demeanor and power. These creatures appear as great, red-eyed, unloving giants carved from polished black stone. They are dressed in gold armor with wide plates on the shoulders and armbands."
By 3rd Edition, the maruts had indeed joined the ranks of Dave Noonan's inevitables, constructs whose sole aim was to enforce the natural laws of the universe. "A marut appears as an onyx statue garbed in golden armor. Disdaining weapons or other equipment, maruts walk surely and implacably toward their foes, never resting."
While the inevitables also included zelekhuts (hunting down those who would deny justice, especially those who flee to escape punishment) and kolyruts (meting out punishment to those who break bargains and oaths), as well as quaruts and varakhuts, only maruts survived to 4th Edition. Will the others return? Unknown for now, but if they do, this author suggests (based on message board discussion) the need for even further inevitables, perhaps tasked with upholding minor though no less important laws -- an inevitable that hunts down those who would steal other people's lunches from company fridges, for example, or ding someone's car and drive off without leaving a note. The world, in any edition, could benefit from such noble enforcers. Meanwhile, in honor of Jeff Grubb's original maruts, able to cast an earthquake or hurl a lightning bolt, we offer the following alternative power:
A marut can have this power instead of fortune's chain.
Any game element as massive, diverse, and rich in material as D&D's cosmology would be impossible to cover in a single article. The above does not even touch upon, for example, 2nd Edition's Planescape -- an essential setting when it comes to the history of the planes. That said, we hope you've enjoyed this cursory jaunt through the 1st and 4th Edition Manual of the Planes. If you have any thoughts on your own favorite planar experiences, or perhaps a suggestion for a new inevitable, please send your feedback to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Sundance Film Festival wraps up this weekend in Park City, Utah. Movies and more movies have been on offer at the gathering, famously backed by Robert Redford. Our own Kenneth Turan is taking it all in and joined us from member station KPCW in Park City.
Good morning.
KENNETH TURAN, BYLINE: Morning, Renee.
MONTAGNE: Well, let us begin with the dramatic films. What stands out for you this year?
Host Rachel Martin speaks with entertainment reporter Stacey Wilson about this year's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
It's the latest episode in Sister Wives. But this time it's playing out in the courtroom, not on cable. On Wednesday, the Brown family — the husband, four wives, and 16 children who star in the reality TV show — plans to file a lawsuit in federal court in Utah. The family members say the state's anti-bigamy law is unconstitutional and that Supreme Court precedent backs them up.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) has long been considered one of Capitol Hill's staunchest conservatives, and that despite his famous long-time friendship with the Senate's late liberal lion, Edward Kennedy.
But there are those in the Tea Party movement who see Hatch as suspect. Thus, a potential primary fight looms for Hatch because he supported, among other things, the bank bailouts in 2008.
So Hatch is courting the Tea Party in an attempt to avoid the fate of his one-time Senate colleague, also from Utah, Robert Bennett who lost his seat to Tea Party favorite, Sen. Mike Lee.

As we attempt to digest the horror of the latest chapter in the gun mass murder epidemic, I wish to address two issues:
(1) Assuming for the moment that the Second Amendment permits virtually anyone to acquire multiple guns with no need to demonstrate that the purchaser is mentally stable or capable of using the weapon safely, why must we also make it easy for anyone to acquire firearms that are suited for war, designed to mow down as many human beings as possible within seconds?
In his heartfelt and emotional statement about the Newtown, Connecticut atrocity, President Obama said, "We are going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this regardless of the politics," which I take to mean the consideration of changes to the easy access to high-powered arsenals which have helped to facilitate mayhem. I believe a bipartisan majority of Congress will respond, "Drop dead, Mr. President. You are not running for election again; we are. You are not as important as the National Rifle Association."
(2) One would wonder why suicidal misfits are intent on slaughtering innocent people before they take their own life. I believe I know the answer. They receive in death the notoriety, or what they see as the fame which they were not able to achieve on this earth. They know that mass murderers become well known, their names and photographs are placed on the pages of newspapers and magazines, often in more prominent spaces than those of the victims, and that if they had some grievance against society, they know that it will be aired as we seek to digest and understand the inexplicable mind of a madman that is consumed with evil and rage. If society began to treat the mass murderer as we do rape victims, declining to reveal identity and detail about the person, the potential evildoer would be denied the infamy that he seeks, which I believe would diminish the value he would see in committing such a crime.
If we throw up our hands in futility, remaining impotent, we will be potential victims of carnage anywhere in America and our nation will increasingly become an armed camp.
Last but not least, my thoughts and prayers shall remain with the residents of Newtown, Connecticut, a small town which one person was able to destroy on a day of infamy. May we especially take into our hearts with our own the loved ones and friends of the many innocent victims of an unspeakable act.

Courier staff writer
---- — EDDYVILLE — Thursday's groundbreaking in Eddyville was a long time coming. But it almost happened six years ago.
Harris and Ford, LLC., wanted to open a chlor-alkali plant and were within weeks of signing a deal to construct one in Iowa back in 2007. Then the markets collapsed and funding dried up. The project appeared dead.
Things were so bad that Joe Ford asked his co-founder Tim Harris whether the plant was ever really going to happen. Harris told him it would take a recovery on the scale of Lazarus rising from the dead.
Iowa, meet the business version of Lazarus.
HF Chlor-Alkali, LLC., will begin production in early 2015, the newest company to set up shop in what has become a thriving center for industrial innovation. Location, in this case, mattered. Harris and Ford has a long corporate relationship with Cargill, which will handle the new plant's water supply and wastewater treatment. Harris called the site a "closed loop" that works to both businesses' advantage.
Chlor-alkali production is a homecoming of sorts for Harris.
"If I go back in my history, my first assignment was at a chlor-alkali plant like we're building here," he said. So were his next several assignments.
The groundbreaking drew both Ford and Harris to Eddyville, along with Alan Willits, Cargill's president of corn milling for North America, as well as Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.
The 29-acre space will make caustic soda, muriatic acid and bleach. It is expected to create at least 25 jobs when it begins production in early 2015.

Our letter to data protection commissioners on privacy
Today, we responded to a letter that a group of data protection commissioners recently sent us about privacy at Google, relating to the launch of Buzz in particular. In our letter, we outlined the work we do every day to protect user privacy. In the spirit of transparency, we wanted to share our letter as it explains our ongoing efforts and outlines tools like the Google Dashboard that provide you with increased transparency and choice.
As we mention in the letter, we are in regular contact with all of the commissioners' offices and look forward to continue working with them. For more information on our privacy initiatives, you can visit our Privacy Center.

It seems evident that Google is putting a lot of time and effort towards addressing privacy concerns... at least on the PR front.
What it isn't so clear to me is whether Google is really working towards compliance with privacy laws in jurisdictions other than US states.
In particular towards EU privacy regulations, which are most certainly considered absurd at Mountain View... Am I wrong?
The Buzz incident speaks for itself and kind of contradicts everything Google says through its official PR channels...
I'd say privacy issues were most probably weighted... but the focus was on trying to assure as much 'success' as possible on a product launch... We'll deal with those privacy freaks when they come... (This kind of thought comes usually more from Biz people than from lawyers/paralegals in my experience)
It's no easy business trying to replicate twitter's business overnight... even if you are Google... 'Poor man's e-mail' is proving very successful... and hard to replicate... seems to me...
Anyway, good to see Peter's tone has evolved for the better... Keep it up guys!

I finally figured out how to get Teflon clean
I could never seem to get Teflon clean. No matter how many times I washed it, there always seemed to be a greasy feeling. I finally figured out how to clean it so that the greasy feeling is gone. First thing, I don't put water in the pan. I squirt a little Dawn directly into the pan and use a nylon scrub brush to scrub the entire pan, inside and out. Rinse, and voila! No more greasy feeling. I also have enough soap left on the scrub brush to clean whatever else I'm washing.
I always assumed that "greasy" feeling was inherent in the Teflon coating. I wash my Teflon-coated pans with soap and water and do not consider them to be "actually still dirty." Although it may feel "greasy" the pan after being washed with soap and water is not really greasy (covered with an oily substance). Sounds more like a "feel" issue than a "clean" issue to me.
We switched to mainly SS pans a few years ago. There are instances where non-stick pans are necessary however. We have a small pan used only to fry eggs. We have a large non-stick skillet as well. The small pan pretty much gets washed using hot water, dish soap and a paper towel to wash. The large pan usually needs water to soak for a while and then gets washed in the same manner. I don't even use the green 3M Schotcbrite pad on the non-stick pans. This is an experiment to see how many years we can get out of these pans. (i got sick of non-stick pans with a lot of the surface missing).
re: John E.
eek! Don't ever use green Scotchbrite on non-stick -- the green is quite aggressive and will destroy the non-stick coating. Don't use it anywhere you wouldn't use steel wool -- that's how aggressive it really is.
You can use the white "non-woven abrasive" (the non-branded term) with impunity -- it's very, very fine, and there are some non-stick manufacturers who even recommend using white non-woven on their cookware.
re: sunshine842
re: John E.
Use a scotchbrite pad by itself, or one attached to a sponge -- that makes no difference.
But the abrasives impregnated in the nylon of the green pads is a full-on industrial-grade abrasive (aluminum oxide, to be exact) , and the reason it removes so much from your non-stick surface is because it is removing the surface itself -- it is the equivalent of #00 steel wool.
The white has no abrasive grains, so it's just the abrasive power of the nylon itself -- that will remove the crusty bits without destroying your pan.
On stainless? Knock yourself out.
re: sunshine842
re: John E.
re: sunshine842
re: John E.
The only steel wool that I saw at a grocery store was the SOS pads I believe. I did use to get different grades at Canadian Tire. (000 and up). Believe the stuff sold at grocery stores is at the most abrasive end of the steel wool (in comparison to Canadian Tire) - much more abrasive than 00.
re: John E.
OK, I buy shiny metallic looking scrubbers at about $1 each. They are nylon or some other material though. They aren't really metal. I use mine mainly to clean my glass top stove, at which they excel.
These would be safe for non-stick cookware, but surely, surely you are not using actual steel wool, as in an SOS or Brillo pad? Or the stuff you use to buff down furniture? Because if you are, it is so wrong. Use it on stainless or CI, but not on non-stick.
re: sueatmo
Wow, this is getting confusing and it has taken on much more importance that I ever intended. No, I do not use any sort of steel wool on non-stick cookware. As I posted somewhere above, I do not even use a nylon or plastic scrubber or brush of any kind on our non-stick cookware. I use a paper towel. I use two non-stick pans, neither of which is new any longer but they are in almost pristine condition. I don't use SOS pads either. I think a Brillo pad is similar to SOS, but we don't use them either. The steel wool I use is actually metal and a very loose weave that is sold in the same section as the Scotchbrite, SOS, Brillo, and sponges, but sponges are another topic. I would never, ever keep a stinky sponge anywhere near the kitchen sink.
re: John E.
re: sueatmo
re: John E.
re: sueatmo
I DON'T USE STEEL WOOL ON NON-STICK COOKWARE! I did not go back and read my posts on this thread because I'm tired of it but I am sure I never said I used steel wool on non-stick. I used to use Scotchbrite pads on non-stick, an no, I do not believe Scotchbrite is as abrasive as steel wool, however if Scotchbrite is used to 'scrub' as opposed to wiping a pan clean it will put wear on the non-stick surface.
For the third time, I use a paper towel to wash the two non-stick pans we have after having left them to soak.
re: sunshine842
re: scubadoo97
Yep -- blue is considered very-fine grade of abrasive -- less aggressive than the green (and brown, and maroon) -- but not as fine as white.
The nonwoven abrasive industry follows a more-or-less standard color strategy:
Maroon or Brown -- made from Aluminum Oxide -- generally coarse grits -- extremely aggressive. Do not use these for anything except heavy-duty industrial use.
Grey or Black - made from Silicon Carbide -- medium grit -- rarely seen in kitchen applications. Again, extremely aggressive.
Green -- Alumino-Silicate -- regular potscrubber grade -- aggressive, but okay for un-coated metal (not for use on paint or nonstick!)
White -- Talc -- yep, like talcum powder. Gentle on almost all surfaces.
For kitchen use, stick to the green or white.
re: sunshine842
re: scubadoo97
Absolutely! They use the green to repair the scratches in stainless-steel elevator and refrigerator panels!
I can't emphasize it enough - -nonwoven abrasive is first and foremost an abrasive and works by removing the stuck-on material AND the underlying material, as well!
The *only* grade you can use in the kitchen without worrying about scratching is the white -- and there are surfaces that it will scratch and/or destroy, too.
re: sunshine842
re: John E.
the discussion was about using them on COATED pans. It will also screw up the finish pattern on the inside of your SS cookware (unless you're careful to follow the grain) and it will destroy the polished finish on the outside of your SS cookware.
Scotchbrite is a brand name -- the term for the abrasive manufactured with nylon filaments impregnated with abrasive particles and then formed into a flat pad is "nonwoven abrasives". All Scotchbrite is nonwoven abrasive -- not all nonwoven abrasive is Scotchbrite.
re: sunshine842
I have found the no-name "nonwoven abrasive' pads to be less effective than the 3M version so I believe the color is not the only determining factor but now I'll know to avoid the white ones. I have not damaged the SS pans we have with either 'nonwoven abrasives' nor steel wool.
re: John E.
there are many other manufacturers out there -- some of whom make better nonwoven products than 3M.
Unfortunately, in the world of private label, it's difficult to suss out whose is whose.
I cannot imagine why you would avoid the white ones -- they are powerful enough to remove a lot without altering the underlying finish.
Steel wool is even more abrasive than nonwoven -- and it leaves small pieces of steel in the scratches, which rust and mar the finish further.
Your money, your pans.
re: sunshine842
re: ScubaSteve
re: sunshine842
i don't use them on the outside, who cares what's on the outside?
if they're not Teflon then i suggest buying them.
i use the pads on the inside. as well as all metal utensils and very high heat. never had a problem and eggs/omelets slide right out with a swipe of oil on a paper napkin.
re: ScubaSteve
I just refuse to spend the money on something like All-Clad and then do something that I *know* will damage the coating.
It's been working well for five years...with proper care, it might have been the last pan you ever bought.
(metal utensils, green nonwoven abrasive, and very-high heat are very damaging to cookware.)
I have now and have had in the past non stick skillets. I've never worried about getting the stuff clean. Far from it. It cleans up easily. Am I to assume you don't have seasoned cast iron in your kitchen cabinets? You have to put those away with a intact seasoning, which definitely gets a little oily or greasy.
re: sueatmo
No, we have several cast iron skillets, but they live on a shelf above the stove. And guess what? Horror of horrors -- we wash those too. Yup. And they work just fine. We put a very light coating of vegetable oil on them after they're clean. No, I don't like greasy things in my cabinets, and most of my pots and pans are in very good shape since we clean off all accumulated gunk about once a year. Call me crazy, but dirty/greasy and kitchen don't go together for me. But that's me (and my husband). Don't want to debate it, and I have learned here that others feel differently.
re: roxlet
re: cajundave
re: cajundave
I use the green scrubby Scott thingie too when I do my cast irons skillets.
some times it's hard to remove everything but I was told to always heat the skillet after washing/rinsing to ensure it'd be dry, really dry, so it wouldn't want to rust.
love those cast iron skillets, all of 'em.
re: roxlet
It's a mystery to me why a Teflon pan could be hard to clean. I just tested this with my small T-fal frying pan used for this morning's fried eggs, cooked in butter. I used a few drops of Dawn, added hot tap water, soaked for awhile, wiped gently with a nylon scrubber/sponge, rinsed, and dried with a paper towel. There is nothing visible on the paper towel but water — the pan is clean.
re: GH1618
re: roxlet
re: GH1618
I used to have Teflon (or Silverstone) everything - baking dishes, pots, pans -- the whole gamut.
Most everything is now just stainless -- I have my big saute pan (two nonstick, one ss), and small pan for eggs -- and a small saucepan for oatmeal. (you will lose your mind trying to use a SS pan to cook oatmeal -- you really, really need nonstick.)
Cookie sheets (and metal pie and cake pans) are now lined with foil or parchment, depending on what I'm making -- not only do I not have to scour them -- I usually just wipe them with a damp cloth and put them away.
Sometimes I do have to soak something overnight - but that part is easy - heat some water in the pan, and just let it stand. Really stubborn stuff gets a repeat treatment with a little baking soda added. It will almost always scrape out with minimal scouring, if any at all.
re: GH1618
At risk of driving the OP to compulsively wash hands. The greasy feeling that one gets when when touching a visibly clean and freshly washed teflon pan is the sensation of one's own oil-impregnated flesh sliding across a material that has the lowest coefficient for friction available for daily use in the home.
So, why is there a difference after diligently scrubbing with a detergent?
One of two things are happening. The detergent (Dawn is quite strong) is removing the oils in the hands and making them slightly tackier. Since there isn't any oily lubrication between the flourocarbon and the skin, the pan feels less slippery. In short, the hands are less oily but the pan has not changed.
The other thing that may be happening is that the OP is actually scuffing the teflon and giving it more tooth. That is pretty unlikely since using detergent and nylon isn't going to break the bonds of the material.
I have been reading this for awhile without commenting. I would have never guessed that "cleaning Teflon pan" is an emotional topic. :)
re: Chemicalkinetics
re: Chemicalkinetics
re: cajundave
canjundave and Eiron,
Yep, it just happened -- right in front of my eyes too.
I can totally understanding a debate on Japanese knives vs German knives or a debate about Teflon safety. People can get emotionally attached to different styles of knives or health related issue.
But "cleaning Teflon cookware" took me by surprise. Should you put detergent first clean it or Can you put water and then detergent to clean it?
re: Chemicalkinetics
NO!! You should MIX the water & detergent together & THEN wash with the sun to your left!! NEVER wash your Teflon at night!!!!
The Nippon knife vs Teutonic knife arguments pale in comparison! Sacrificial preparations mean nothing if the receptacle for your offerings is not cleansed in a worthy manner!!
re: Eiron
<NO!! You should MIX the water & detergent together & THEN wash with the sun to your left!! NEVER wash your Teflon at night!!!! >
Remind me of Gremlins the film :)
"The boy gives Randall three specific instructions in caring for the Mogwai:
never expose it to bright light (especially sunlight, which will kill it);
never get it wet (which will make it multiply);
and, most importantly: never, ever feed it after midnight."

I thought the flavor of the cookie was pretty good. But like another reviewer said - It only initially tastes of mary jane candy. The flavor after that is nothing great although not bad. The inside was nice and chewy but the whole cookie had a pretty thick hard outer shell that I didn't care for. Maybe that wouldn't happen if it wasn't rolled in sugar? I followed the recipe exactly. I was unsure about using the full amount of the dry mixture cause the dough got pretty crumbly and tough to mix but I did. I think if I make this recipe again I will use less dry ingredients and not roll in sugar before baking. I also wonder how this dough would work for cutouts? All in all this cookie isn't bad it's just not the fantastic cookie I was hoping for.
These had a very unusual taste. The texture out of the oven was not good at all. The texture got better with time though. I just think I like more tradition flavor of cookies. Will not make these again. was hoping for something new and delicious but these aren't it.
I wanted something a little different and with some nutritional value for my toddlers. This recipe sounded great. I substitued 1/2 of the flour for whole wheat and skipped rolling them in sugar at the end and they are still wonderful. My 16-month old twins LOVED THEM (and I ate a few too ;-)
