Executive Summary
The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally respected religious freedom and took measures designed to address concerns. The primary issue remained the degree to which religious groups are afforded the same privileges and legal prerogatives granted the Orthodox Church. The government demonstrated a moderate trend toward improvement in respect for protection of the right to religious freedom.
There were some reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. The Greek Orthodox Church exercised significant social, political, and economic influence. Some non-Orthodox citizens complained of being treated with suspicion or being told they were not truly Greek when they revealed their religious affiliations to other Greek citizens. Other religious groups reported discrimination by members of society. Members of the Muslim minority in Thrace were underrepresented in public sector employment and no Muslim military personnel advanced to officer ranks.
The U.S. government discussed religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. The ambassador and consul general in Thessaloniki met with government and religious leaders on a regular basis. They also hosted iftars (evening meals during Ramadan) attended by a broad range of government, community, diplomatic, nongovernmental organization (NGO), media, academic, and religious leaders, and attended Holocaust memorial events.
Section I. Religious Demography
The government does not keep statistics on religious groups. An estimated 98 percent of the population, however, identifies itself as Greek Orthodox. The 1923 Treaty of Lausanne created an officially recognized "Muslim minority," which consists of an estimated 140,000 to 150,000 individuals (approximately 1.3 percent of the Greek population) residing in Thrace. The remaining population is composed of Roman Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Old Calendarist Orthodox, Jehovah's Witnesses, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), Scientologists, Baha'is, Hare Krishna devotees, and followers of polytheistic Hellenic religions. Church leaders estimated that 30 percent of self-identified Orthodox regularly participates in religious services.
NGOs estimate that between 500,000 and 700,000 Muslims reside in Attica as a result of longstanding migration from Albania and a recent influx of illegal immigrants and refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Africa, and South Asia.
Section II. Status of Government Respect for Religious Freedom
Legal/Policy Framework
The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally respected this right. In July the government appointed a secretary general for religions at the Ministry of Education, Lifelong Learning, and Religious Affairs. The government recognizes the canon law of the Orthodox Church, both within the church and in areas of civil law such as marriage. Privileges and legal prerogatives granted to the Orthodox Church are not extended routinely to other religious groups. Citizens and registered organizations can sue the government for violations of religious freedom. The constitution and law prohibit proselytizing.
The government supports the Orthodox Church financially. For example, the government pays for the salaries and religious training of Orthodox clergy, partially finances the maintenance of Orthodox Church buildings, and provides a tax exemption for the Orthodox Church's property revenues. Orthodox religious instruction in primary and secondary schools, at government expense, is mandatory for all students, although non-Orthodox students may exempt themselves by turning in a statement requesting exemption. However, public schools offer no alternative activity or non-Orthodox religious instruction for these children. Many private schools offer alternative religious instruction to their students.
The law requires that all civil servants take a religious oath before entering office. Persons not belonging to the Orthodox Church may take an oath in accordance with their own beliefs or on their honor.
As interpreted, the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne gives the Muslim minority in Thrace the right to maintain social and charitable organizations called auqafs, allows muftis (Islamic jurists) to render religious judicial services in the area of family law, and provides certain rights that the government must protect such as bilingual education, government salaries for Muslim religious leaders, operation of mosques and auqafs, and the recognition of Sharia in family law.
In Thrace the government operates secular bilingual schools and two Islamic religious schools. The government gives special consideration to Muslim minority students from Thrace for admission to universities and technical institutes, setting aside 0.5 percent of the total number of places for them annually and implementing a program during university entrance exams that accepts lower scores.
The government maintains that Muslims living outside Thrace are not covered by the Treaty of Lausanne and therefore do not enjoy the rights provided by the treaty to Muslims residing in Thrace. Some Muslims on the Dodecanese Islands assert that they deserve the recognition and rights provided under the treaty.
The government grants Muslims in Thrace the right to choose Sharia law to regulate family and civic issues such as marriage, divorce, custody of children, and inheritance. Members of the Muslim minority in Thrace, however, can choose instead to have civil marriages and take cases to civil court rather than follow Sharia. Muslims married by government-appointed muftis are subject to Sharia family law but may appeal to the courts for a hearing under secular law.
The muftis in Thrace make judicial decisions based on Sharia, most of which has not been translated into Greek, limiting the ability of government courts to provide judicial oversight. Courts in Thrace routinely ratify the decisions of the muftis, who have judicial powers in civil and domestic matters. The National Human Rights Committee (an autonomous government advisory body), human rights organizations, and some media reports have argued that the government should limit the powers of the muftis to religious duties only and not recognize Sharia because it may restrict the civil rights of some citizens, especially women, particularly in child custody, divorce, and inheritance cases. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights also has expressed concern regarding impediments that Muslim women in Thrace face under Sharia.
Some groups, such as the Jewish community, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Baha'is, have requested treatment equal to that of the Orthodox Church with regard to legal status and financial support from the government. Leaders of non-Orthodox religious groups state that taxes on their organizations are discriminatory because the government subsidizes Orthodox Church activities and does not tax the Orthodox Church's property revenues. Members of many religious groups have stated that the government should tax and subsidize all religious entities on the same basis.
The Orthodox Church, Jews, and Muslims are the only religious groups the government recognizes as "legal entities of public law," entitled to own, bequeath, and inherit property and appear in court under their own names. Other religious organizations must be registered as "legal entities of private law" and cannot own houses of prayer (approved places of worship) or other property as religious entities. In order to own property, they must create other corporate legal entities (such as nonprofit associations) to own, bequeath, or inherit property, or to appear in court. To be recognized as a religious "legal entity of private law," a religious group must represent a "known religion" or dogma. Court rulings define "known religions" as having publicly taught doctrines with rites of worship open to the public, being nonprofit in nature, not affecting public order or morality adversely, and having a clear hierarchy of religious authorities.
The Ministry of Education and Religion indirectly recognizes groups as "known religions" by issuing house of prayer permits to them. A separate permit is required for each physical place of worship, but a religious group with at least one valid permit is considered a known religion and is protected under freedom of religion laws. Some religious groups, including Catholics, Pentecostals, Baha'is, Methodists, Mormons, evangelical Protestants, and Jehovah's Witnesses, are recognized as known religions. Other groups, including Scientologists, Hare Krishna devotees, and polytheistic Hellenic religious groups, have applied for but never received house of prayer permits.
Some religious groups face additional legal and administrative burdens because they cannot function as religious legal entities. Scientologists and members of polytheistic Hellenic religious groups practice their faiths as registered nonprofit civil law organizations. Without the recognition afforded by house of prayer permits, weddings officiated by religious leaders are not recognized legally. To receive house of prayer permits, applicants must receive approval from the local urban planning department, attesting that a place of worship meets city planning regulations and "safe congregation" requirements prior to filing an application with the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs.
Catholic churches and related religious bodies established prior to 1946 are legally recognized as private entities, but Catholic institutions established after 1946 are not extended the same automatic recognition. The Catholic Church continues to seek government recognition of its canon law but had not succeeded by year's end.
The constitution prohibits proselytizing and stipulates that no rite of worship may "disturb public order or offend moral principles."
The law provides penalties for "whoever intentionally incites others to actions that could provoke discrimination, hatred, or violence against persons or groups of persons on the basis of their race or ethnic origin or expresses ideas insulting to persons or to groups of persons because of their race or ethnic origin." The law allows any prosecutor to order the seizure of publications that offend Christianity or any other religion. The government did not enforce these laws during the year.
The country has mandatory military service of nine months for male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45. Citizens go into "reservist" status following this service. Mandatory military service is three months for "repatriated" male citizens (those of Greek ethnic background who emigrated from the former communist bloc) and five months of alternative service for repatriated conscientious objectors. The law provides for alternative forms of mandatory service for religious and ideological conscientious objectors. Conscientious objectors may, in lieu of mandatory military service, work in state hospitals or municipal and public services for a period two times the length, minus one month, of the required military service (17 months). A January Supreme Court decision allowed citizen reservists who had already completed military service to receive conscientious objector status subsequently if called back for service. Some religious groups claimed the increased length of mandatory service required of conscientious objectors was discriminatory, and during the year Jehovah's Witnesses had six pending cases in front of the Supreme Court on different issues related to conscientious objection.
The government observes the following religious holidays as national holidays: Epiphany, Clean Monday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Holy Spirit Day, the Assumption of Mary, and Christmas.
Government Practices
There were some reports of abuses and restrictions of religious freedom.
Orthodox officials have an exclusive institutionalized link to the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, while several other religious groups reported difficulties in dealing with authorities on a variety of administrative matters.
In October a Court of Appeals in Rethymno, Crete, convicted an individual to four months in prison and an 840 euro ($1,176) fine for violating the law against proselytism. He paid a fine in lieu of prison time.
In 2006 the Supreme Administrative Court dismissed on technical grounds an appeal by Jehovah's Witnesses over property taxation of their headquarters. When the area was rezoned, Orthodox Church properties were exempt from rezoning fees; the Jehovah's Witnesses claimed that, as a "recognized religion," they should also be exempt. The case remained pending at year's end.
A legal case challenging an Orthodox Church bishop's claim that Jehovah's Witnesses cannot use the word "Christian" on their house of prayer permits has been pending before the Supreme Administrative Court since 2005.
Leaders of some religious groups considered that the system of house of prayer permits constrained freedom of religion administratively and noted that under the existing legal framework unregistered religious organizations are subject to government prosecution, although there were no reports of prosecutions. The Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs issued 13 house of prayer permits to "known religions" during the year. Applications for two minarets and one mosque were pending at year's end.
After a delay, government-funded restoration of the Catholic Cathedral of Athens, damaged in a 1998 earthquake, began.
Members of the Muslim minority in Thrace were underrepresented in public sector employment and in state-owned industries and corporations. A law exists to assign 0.5 percent of civil service jobs to Muslims. At year's end, two members of the Muslim minority from Thrace held seats in the three hundred seat parliament. In Xanthi and Komotini, Muslims held seats on the prefectural and town councils and served as local mayors.
The government continued to claim that auqafs in Thrace owed interest on their tax debt (the principal was written off by the government), totaling approximately one million euros ($1.3 million). Members of the Muslim minority protested the government's position and lobbied for the interest to be written off as well.
Differences remained among some members of the Muslim minority community and the government regarding the process of selecting muftis and imams. By law the government, in consultation with a committee of Muslim leaders, appoints all three muftis in Thrace to 10-year terms of office with the possibility of extension. The muftis in Xanthi and Komotini began serving in 1991 and 1985, respectively. Both were due to retire during the year, but the government extended the term of the mufti of Komotini indefinitely.
The government continued to maintain it has the right to appoint muftis since they perform judicial Sharia functions and all judges in the country are appointed by the government. Some members of the Muslim minority objected to the government's appointment of muftis and continued to lobby the government to allow the direct election of muftis by the community without proscribing their judicial powers. Some members of the Muslim minority accepted the authority of the government-appointed muftis, but others chose two unofficial muftis to serve their communities. These two muftis were not recognized by the government and did not have civil authority.
Muslim leaders in Athens criticized the absence of a government funded mosque and recognized Muslim clergy in the city. Muslims in Athens worshipped in approximately 120 informal (unregistered) mosques operating in legal cultural halls, and they traveled to Thrace for official Islamic marriages and funerals.
In December Metropolitan of Piraeus Seraphim filed charges against the Catholic Church for proselytism. The metropolitan argued that the blessing of the school year by a Catholic priest in the presence of both Catholic and Greek Orthodox students constituted proselytism of the Greek Orthodox children.
Some Muslim leaders complained about the lack of a Muslim cemetery in Athens, stating that municipal cemetery regulations requiring exhumation of bodies after three years contravened Islamic religious law.
Members of several religious organizations complained about the lack of crematory facilities. A law permitting the establishment of crematory facilities was passed in 2006, and a presidential decree was signed during the year. However, it was not implemented by year's end.
Improvements and Positive Developments in Respect for Religious Freedom
During the year, the government took steps to improve religious freedom. Under the leadership of the newly appointed secretary general for religions at the Ministry of Education, Life-Long Learning, and Religious Affairs, the government provided spaces to some of Athens' Muslim communities whose members had requested places of worship for Ramadan and other religious occasions, unlike in the previous year. At one Ramadan celebration, the secretary general made a public statement underscoring Muslims' rights to worship.
On September 7 parliament approved a provision to begin construction on a government-funded mosque in Athens, amending the 2006 law to indicate that a mosque would be established in a converted building on a Hellenic Navy-donated lot.
On November 6 the government provided a public hall in Thessaloniki for more than 200 Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants to offer Eid al-Adha prayers on November 6, unlike in previous years.
Last year, for the first time, the government provided partial support for the restoration of the oldest mosque in Europe in Didymoticho (Evros).
The government responded immediately to condemn societal anti-Semitic and anti-Islamic actions such as vandalism and arson attacks of the Holocaust monument in Thessaloniki, the synagogue in Corfu, and the historic Hallil Bey mosque in Kavala (northern Greece).
Section III. Status of Societal Respect for Religious Freedom
There were some reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice.
The Greek Orthodox Church exercised significant social, political, and economic influence. Some non-Orthodox citizens complained of being treated with suspicion or told by members of society that they were not truly Greek when they revealed their religious affiliations.
Followers of non-Orthodox faiths, particularly missionary faiths, reported incidents of societal discrimination, including warnings by some Orthodox bishops and priests to their parishioners not to visit the leaders or members of religious groups such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, evangelical Christians, and other Protestants. However, leaders of many non-Orthodox religious groups reported that cordial private contacts between Orthodox Church officials and members of minority religious groups had increased in frequency. Orthodox leaders also attended ceremonies hosted by members of other religious groups.
During the year, unknown assailants launched multiple arson attacks against several informal mosques in downtown Athens. In one such attack in March, five persons were injured. A penal investigation was launched against "unknown perpetrators" who in November 2010 locked an estimated 40 immigrant worshipers into an informal mosque on Athens' Aghios Panteleimonas square and set it on fire. The worshipers escaped the fire with the help of police, but four persons were injured in ensuing fights between the worshipers and the violent extremists.
In March unknown perpetrators damaged the exterior of the Isalo Mosque (Rodopi prefecture, northern Greece), and in February unknown perpetrators damaged approximately 10 gravestones at the Muslim cemetery in the city of Kommotini in Thrace. In July unknown perpetrators nailed a pig's head on the wooden door of the historic Hallil Bey mosque in Kavala. While the mosque's structure is preserved as an architectural monument, it is not used for worship and is not open to the public.
Sporadic expressions of anti-Semitism occurred. In January a senior Greek priest, Metropolitan of Pireaus Seraphim, stated his belief that Jews controlled the banking system and equated Judaism with "Satanism." In September unknown perpetrators drew anti-Semitic graffiti on a street art composition in Nea Ionia. In June the Holocaust monument in Thessaloniki was desecrated with swastikas. In May unknown perpetrators desecrated a synagogue in Volos, and in April vandals committed an arson attack on a synagogue in Corfu.
In 2007 author Kostas Plevris sued senior representatives of the local Jewish community, journalists, and NGO activists for publicly criticizing the judges who vacated Plevris' earlier conviction of inciting hatred and racial violence. He also accused them of disseminating false information through the press as well as perjury and aggravated defamation. The NGO activists were found not guilty in a December 6 verdict. The trial of the journalists and Jewish community representatives was scheduled for January and then postponed until December 2012.
A new coalition government formed in November included several members of the Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) party, some of whose members have made anti-Semitic remarks in the past.
Section IV. U.S. Government Policy
The ambassador and other U.S. officials discussed religious freedom with senior government officials, including the new secretary general for religions, religious leaders, municipal leaders, members of parliament, and members of other diplomatic missions. Officers from the embassy and the consulate general in Thessaloniki met regularly with representatives of religious groups and investigated reports of societal discrimination. U.S. diplomats regularly traveled to Thrace to discuss religious freedom issues with members of the Muslim minority.
The ambassador met with several religious leaders and discussed religious freedom and interfaith dialogue. He and the consul general in Thessaloniki attended Holocaust memorial events. The U.S. government encouraged the Jewish community in its efforts to engage Aristotle University, the public institution built on the site of the expropriated Jewish cemetery in Thessaloniki, on future projects to memorialize the Jewish heritage of the site.
Embassy officers met regularly with Muslim NGOs and with faith-based charity groups that assist refugees and victims of trafficking in persons. The embassy and consulate general invited representatives from a wide variety of faiths to the annual July Fourth receptions and iftars.
U.S. officials promoted and supported initiatives related to religious freedom and used the International Visitor Leadership Program to introduce Muslim community leaders to the United States and their American counterparts.
U.S. embassy officials successfully supported efforts by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum to obtain access to official archives in the country.
The ambassador and other U.S. officials regularly visited religious sites and conducted religious freedom outreach throughout the country.

Indian gov't forces kill 4 protesters in Kashmir
SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Government forces in the Indian portion of Kashmir on Thursday fatally shot four villagers and wounded 25 others who were protesting the alleged desecration of the Muslim holy book by border guards, police said.
The violence — which came during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan — could trigger widespread protests in the disputed Himalayan region, with separatist groups that reject India's sovereignty over the region calling for three days of strikes and demonstrations beginning Friday.
The protesters accused the Indian Border Security Force soldiers of entering a religious seminary Wednesday night looking for Kashmiri militants in Dharam, a village 220 kilometers (140 miles) south of Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir.
The head of the seminary, Qari Shabir, said the border guards tore pages of several copies of the Quran after beating a school caretaker.
As thousands of villagers marched to the seminary on Thursday to protest the alleged desecration of the Qurans, government forces opened fire to stop them, wounding several, Shabir said.
After the protesters dispersed, civil and police authorities reached the village and tried to calm the angry villagers, he said.
Thousands of people from other areas then came and joined the protesters. They resumed the march, leading to scuffles with government forces, who again fired at the protesters, Shabir said.
"We were protesting the desecration of the holy book and instead of looking into this heinous act, they fired at us," Shabir said.
Four of the villagers were killed and 25 were wounded, said a police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
Rajiv Krishna, a top Border Security Force officer, said the guards showed restraint despite the protesters trying to storm their camp.
Indian Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde ordered a probe into the incident. "I assure that any use of excessive force or irresponsible action shall be dealt with strictly," he said in a statement.
Rights groups say such investigations rarely lead to prosecutions and are mainly used to try to calm public anger.
Officials said thousands of people gathered in the area to protest Thursday's incident. Protests also took place in other parts of Kashmir, and a key highway was closed.
Separately on Thursday, gunmen fired at a former administrator of a government-run hospital on the outskirts of Srinagar, killing his two police guards, police said.
Sheikh Jalal-ud-din, a renowned cardiologist, was hospitalized with serious wounds, a police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters.
The motive was unclear, but police blamed militants fighting against Indian rule for the attack.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan, with both countries claiming the disputed Himalayan region in its entirety.
Anti-India feelings run deep in Indian-held Kashmir, where about a dozen rebel groups have been fighting against Indian rule since 1989. More than 68,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
The rebel groups have largely been suppressed by Indian troops in recent years, and resistance is now principally expressed through street protests.

The Little Teochew,
You are welcome. Hope you like it.
Normal white rice not as sticky as glutinous rice, I dont think it works well in this recipe.
yen learns to cook,
Bet you have great collection of dim sum recipe then.
After rolling on the glutious rice, press gently. It is ok (better?) if the rice get into the pork ball partially.

I had the same situations last time when my kid was small. He just kept following where I went, what I did. This is the learning process. When John gets bigger, you may want to introduce him alphabets, mathematics etc, this will even take more time unless you send him to kindergarten.
The pics are nice! Pearl dumplings must be very delicious.

I am introducing concepts to John now, such as full vs empty. And, he loves musics and will dance along. Hmm... I guess I will have less time for him soon, should I send him to kindy?
I remember Sarah likes glutinous rice, perhaps you can try to make some. T gave me idea, he said if making for John next time can use vege to make eyes, nose and mouth. You can try it... Taste wise, I would say it tasted like siew mai + lor mai kai :D
Bee Yinn,
I love it with prawn too, but my other half loves it with fatty pork and no prawn inside.
Thanks for compliments. Well, I used to have a food processor but had to leave it behind when moving. The one I had was Kenwood Brand but forgot the model (bought in Aust, model maybe not available here too).
The Nyonya Chef,
Thanks again ya...
Most photos here were taken with natural light. I will use flash if lighting is too poor. And... I have not attended any photographing classes yet, wish I could do that though.

There's no denying that China has seen a surge of new luxury hotel options as of late, but 2013 may prove to be the country's golden year with top-name brands sprouting up across popular tourist destinations. Five-star amenities are expected, but several hotels have gone above and beyond with their on-property spas. We won't be surprised if your clients make a beeline to these new Zen-dens on their next China trip.
The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, ShanghaiSpanning 8,000 square feet, the Spa at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai is a sanctuary in the bustling city. The full-service facility includes 11 single, couple and VIP spa suites (each with a private dressing room and a steam shower), with four suites offering a private vitality pool that overlooks a sunken courtyard garden. The VIP suites can accommodate up to eight guests.
The spa also features a beauty salon (with a reflexology lounge), a 24-hour fitness center, a 24-hour indoor pool, thermal bathing facilities and a spa boutique.
Clients can book a variety of treatments, but the Signature Journeys are the way to go. The Butterfly's Dream, for instance, is a 150-minute treatment comprising a bath infused with natural healing herbs of Chinese mulberry and night-blooming jasmine, followed by an elixir of rose body wrap, traditional moxibustion and a pressure point massage.
The spa's Beauty by Mandarin Oriental includes two dedicated Beauty Suites with advanced treatment and diagnostic technology. The spa provides top-notch facials, Chinese astrology and palm readings.
Hua Spa at Four Seasons GuangzhouLocated on the 69th floor, the Four Seasons Guangzhou's Hua Spa features six treatment rooms (most with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows), all equipped with private showers and steam rooms. Three treatment rooms are VIP suites with oversized vitality tubs and rain showers, designed for couples.
Hua Spa sticks close to traditional Chinese roots in its treatments and facilities. The women's area features a crystal steam room and Rhassoul chamber, while the men's area has an ice fountain and herbal steam bath.
The spa includes a 24-hour fitness center, an 82-foot lap pool and a poolside terrace with commanding views.
The Flowers of the Four Seasons' signature treatment is 2½ hours long and includes a foot bath, a scrub, a face and body mask and a massage with plant oils.
Spa at Conrad BeijingIt may not be enormous, but the spa at Conrad Beijing is quiet and luxurious. It's a nice haven from the streets of Beijing, featuring five treatment rooms, an 82-foot lap pool with lounge beds and steam and sauna. The spa is in the process of acquiring Jing Chen, a local Traditional Chinese Medicine specialist, to spearhead the spa menu's boutique treatments that range from massages to facials. The spa also features a 24-hour well-equipped fitness center.
Spa at Waldorf Astoria ShanghaiRight on a tranquil riverside location, the new spa at Waldorf Astoria Shanghai spans three levels, and it is proud to tout many "firsts" in Shanghai, including being the first spa to use the ultra-high-end Valmont beauty and skincare products from Switzerland, and being the first to offer Oxygen Facials by Intraceuticals, perfect for rehydrating after a long-haul flight.
There are eight treatment rooms, each equipped with a private steam room and rainforest shower, in addition to a 1,000-square-foot VIP suite that wows with a couples' steam room, a fireplace and a relaxation area.
Treatments are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine blended with modern technology.

While Malcolm Venville's Henry's Crime is billed as a comedy it's more funny odd than funny ha-ha.
See all Henry's Crime reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 15+
Aside from language, so-so caper comedy is fine for teens.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that except for this caper comedy's frequent strong language (including "f--k," "s--t," "p---y," and more), there's nothing here that would demand an R rating. There are several love scenes, but they're handled with restraint -- there's no nudity and no actual activity other than kissing and embracing. The few action sequences are brief, generally mild fights (in one, a man wields a gun, and a shot is fired), and the substance use isn't at all over the top, either -- a woman smokes one cigarette, a couple of beers are consumed, and a character seems drunk in one scene and vomits in two others. That said, it's not all that likely to be a movie that's high on kids' radar anyway.
Messages: Despite the negative message that it's acceptable payback for Henry to rob a bank because he was wrongly convicted of an earlier crime, there are positive ideas expressed as well. Henry learns that it's critical for people to have dreams, feel passionately about life, and build intimate relationships based on love and respect.
Role models: Initially, the main character has no ambition or passion and basically just "goes along for life's ride." But over the course of the film, he learns the value of having dreams and taking risks. The female lead is strong, driven, and seems confident. Because of her relationship with Henry, she realizes that warmth and softness are important qualities as well. All of that said, no one seems to experience any remorse for his or her misbehavior.
Violence: In comic frustration, a female character repeatedly hits and pounds a male character while sitting next to him in a car. An elderly man is held at gunpoint, but he takes the gunman by surprise and drives him to the ground using his bare hands. A shot is fired, and there's some blood, but no one is seriously injured.
Sex: Several intimate scenes include kissing, laughing, and romping with both characters under the sheets, plus implied post-sexual cuddling. The woman is seen briefly in her bra; no other nudity.
Language: Lots of swearing and obscenities throughout, including "f--k," "s--t," "p---y," "hell," "goddamn," "d--k," "son of a bitch," "pissed off," "Jesus" (as an exclamation), and "FAG" written on a sign.
Consumerism: Molson's Blue beer.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Beer is consumed in moderation in a few scenes. A man shows up drunk for an important meeting. One female character smokes.

A new study reveals that children who can speak more than one language have a learning advantage, with superior problem-solving skills and creative thinking than kids who only know one. According to the researchers from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland, the mental agility needed to switch between languages may develop skills that boost other types of thinking.
PLUS: Bilingual Children are Better at Switching Between Tasks
The study consisted of 121 children—half of whom were bilingual—who were asked to perform a number of tasks, such as reproduce patterns of colored blocks, repeat a series of numbers, define words and solve math problems in their heads. The bilingual children performed much better than those who spoke one language. Furthermore, bilingual children knew and understood vocabulary words with a better "level of detail and richness in description" than their one-language peers and found it easier to identify and focus on information that was important, study leader Fraser Lauchlan said.
Plus: Teaching Your Baby to be Bilingual
"Bilingualism is now largely seen as being beneficial to children but there remains a view that it can be confusing, and so potentially detrimental to them," Lauchlan said in a university news release. "Our study has found that it can have demonstrable benefits, not only in language but in arithmetic, problem-solving and enabling children to think creatively."

Middleton mulls withdrawing students from FarmingtonBy JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
October 28. 2013 12:45AM
MIDDLETON — Some local officials and residents feel it is in the best interest to withdraw all students from Farmington, send some to Gov. Wentworth and build an elementary school in town.
As a result, members of the Committee to Study the Feasibility of Withdrawal from the Authorized Regional Enrollment Area (AREA) Agreement have refined their draft report, which proposes transferring students in grades 7 to 12 from Farmington to Wolfeboro by 2015 and students in prekindergarten through grade 6 the following year, contingent upon state approval and residents accepting the withdrawal plan and agreeing to build an elementary school.
Preliminary report due
The committee is required to send its findings to the NH Board of Education by Nov. 26.
School Board members Linda Adamo and Ken Garry and alternate member Selectman Joe Bailey held an informal community discussion Thursday, as there was no quorum.
Garry, who has been working on the financial aspects of the study, said little time is left to finish the draft report before it can be reviewed by legal counsel before being finalized.
Last year, local residents voted for the district to study the feasibility of withdrawing as some people raised concerns about the quality of education and the tuition rate to Farmington.
"I understand there's frustration about the apportionment, but we really need to focus on the students," Garry said Thursday.
Previously the committee, which is composed of officials from Middleton and Farmington, was considering the feasibility of withdrawing — either partially or entirely — from the existing AREA agreement, which was enacted with Farmington in 1972, and entering a tuition agreement with Gov. Wentworth.
The change to a single option came as Middleton officials believed counterparts in Farmington have become less willing to educate the town's students if Middleton withdraws grades 7-12.
Building an elementary school
Garry estimated it could cost $4.9 million to construct an elementary school to educate local students in prekindergarten through grade 6. He added the district must determine operating costs.
Garry said changes in student enrollment numbers, tuition rates and absence of debt makes building a school "a lot more palatable" than in previous years.
In 2004, members of N.H. School Administrators Association estimated it would cost $4.8 million to construct a school — on the district's 55-acre parcel along King's Highway — for local students in kindergarten through grade 5 and $6.1 million to construct a school for kindergarten through grade 8.
These figures did not include operating expenses or any costs — including debt from building the Valley View Community School in Farmington — to withdraw student from the AREA agreement.
On Sept. 11, the School Board voted to establish the committee to explore the idea of building an elementary school in Middleton. Anyone interested in participating is encouraged to submit their name to the selectman's secretary at 473-5202 by Oct. 28.

'The Walking Dead' "Hounded" Pics: Is A Certain Someone Still Alive?
While AMC's 'The Walking Dead' has certainly never been light on casualties, recent episode "Killer Within" took quite a toll on Rick Grimes' group of survivors, seemingly shuffling off the mortal coils of Rick's wife Lori, fan-favorite T-Dog, and the scrappy Carol. However, might there be a bit of hope on the horizon? Of the three survivors believed to been killed in the episode, only one's body was ever fully recovered! The latest photos from this Sunday's "Hounded" might just crack the case!
It was bad enough that we lost Lori and T-Dog, but did we really have to lose Carol (Melissa McBride) too? Right when things were going so well for her and Daryl, too? Gasp, spoiler alert! Viewers of the series well know that the only thing recovered of Carol was that of her scarf next to T-Dog's body, leading all to believe she'd been killed as well.
But as TVGuide's latest batch of photos from Sunday's "Hounded" reveal, that may not necessarily be the case! The latest looks at next week's episode show Daryl (Norman Reedus) hot on the trail within the prison walls, accompanied by young Carl (Chandler Riggs) and newly-trusted prison recruit Oscar (Vincent Ward). Could he be looking for Carol, or perhaps her body? What will the distraught hunter find within the halls?
Not to mention, we'd hope Carol were still alive to meet a certain someone from the comics rumored to be making his first appearance in the December 2 mid-season finale episode, "Made to Suffer!'
Check out the below photos from Sunday's all new 'The Walking Dead' episode "Hounded," and give us your predictions in the comments!

Impressions of Le Corbusier are often of an architect with an extensive built output, yet Le Corbusier only produced a handful of buildings throughout his career, as documented in Beatriz Colominas book Privacy and Publicity on modern architecture and mass media. Where Le Corbusier altered photographs and drawings for promotional purposes to build up the myth of an extensive portfolio of projects, Mary Ruth Walshs drawings and photographs question the accuracy of historical records through what has been written and documented.
Using the language of seductive surfaces, Walshs work acts like proposals or blue prints for compelling spaces, tapping into our 21st century fetish for building plans and imagined constructions. The ideas in the materials, like packaging and brick-a-brac, explore on some level how we think about architecture. The work is not meant to illustrate but rather to engender ideas of why and for whom the space is created, and to contest how space is constructed.
By using the shorthand of architectural tropes the proposals give a sense of cool control of what is to be built, yet a glitch in the translation occurs between the paper plan and the realisation of the building into a physical structure. The paper plan is the miniature, described by Susan Stewart as representing a closure and an interiority. While the full scale building being the exterior and the public, as Stewart suggests represents the gigantic. Hence, questions between paper plan and reality begin to unfold, as the experience of the drawn plan (the seduction) is at odds with the experience of the building (the protective
or the entrapment).
Yet, how strange in this age of self-consciousness which Susan Sontag described in the 60s as an almost insupportable burden of self-consciousness that it is lost on contemporary buildings. Architectures self-awareness seems to lag or deny the irony of their tools in drawing as descriptor.
Most building start their life as paper plans and become a statement of our centurys identity, and to some extent our personal identity. Yet the realization of these buildings, when translated into brick or glass and steel, become at times, alien to the original dream. How then do we re-identify with this unintentional translation? Is there a parallel unintentionallity, in that we reshape our complex identities in relationship to these altered buildings?
Susan Stewart, On Longing: Narratives of the Miniature, the Gigantic, the Souvenir, the Collection (1993). Stewart describes areas around the miniature as a social disease of nostalgia.

Erzincan Can TV, July 14-2008
Adnan Oktar: The European Union is a very excellent union and a most necessary one. Turkey needs to join, but not in this form. As the leader of the Turkish-Islamic world. IT NEEDS TO JOIN AS A SUPERSTATE AND A BRIDGE TO EURPOE. IN THAT EVENT THE EU WILL BE A THOUSAND TIMES GREATER THAN IT IS NOW. AMERICA WILL BE TWO THOUSAND IF IT IS A THOUSAND. IT WILL GROW WONDERFULLY. Russia will be at ease, China will be at ease. All its neighbors will be at ease. Israel will rejoice and the Middle East will be a paradise for them. They will really be able to relax. And it is the Turkish nation what will establish peace and love. That is how it was in Ottoman times and how it is now. Allah has given the nation this job, insha'Allah.
Kuşadası TV, July 14-2008
Presenter: What can you tell us about the Turkish-Islamic Union? Many people regard it as utopian. That is how many people look on it. Do you really believe in it?
Adnan Oktar: Now, if, may Allah forbid, Konya and Adana were separated and we said, "What is going on? We are going to unite" would anyone say, "this is utopian, it is out of the question."? Would there be any logic in that? No. In the same way, there is no logic to the Turkic states remaining separated from us. We share the same faith and speak the same language and are members of the same race. Everything about us is the same. We have the same culture, customs and traditions, so there is no reason for us to be divided. That is why the matter of the passport and visas between these countries, between Turkic states and Islamic countries, must be lifted. People must come and go as they wish. Let them trade freely and establish whatever ties they like. That happens in the EU, so why not in the Turkish-Islamic Union? In the EU, people go to whatever country they choose and settle where they choose. They do not need passports and visas. We are brothers, so why cannot we do this? There is no reason. Of course, we can. THE MOST ATTRACTIVE COUNTRIES WITH THE FINEST LANDS ARE THE TURKIC STATES, AND THE WORLD'S RICHEST MINERAL RESOURCES ARE IN THIS REGION. THE RICHEST OIL RESERVES ARE IN THIS REGION. WE HAVE FLOUR, FAT AND SUGAR, AND NOW JUST NEED TO BAKE THE CAKE. That is what the whole Turkish people want.
|The president of Iran stated that if Turkey joined the EU it would raise the esteem of the union, because Turkey had deep historical, cultural and civilization roots.
Ahmadinejad said that Turkey had successfully maintained relations with other countries and expressed the view that Turkish development and strength would be to the benefit of all. Ahmadinejad noted that Muslim countries needed to support one another, and that Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Malaysia and Indonesia had large populations and economies. He went on to say that if these countries united a great economic market and success would result, and that this would represent an opportunity for all.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bernadette Peters stopped by a desolate corner of Brooklyn the other day to hang out with a special group of fans. They were literally barking.
A deafening chorus of woofs greeted the two-time Tony Award winner as she toured the Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition and checked in with shelter dogs Louise, Melissa, Sparrow, Joseph, Bobby, Greg and Diamond.
"This is my passion," she says after scratching furry backs, stroking tails and caressing grateful ears. "I realized what a womanizer is because I'm a dog-inizer. I want every dog, like the man who wants every woman."
The love goes both ways: Many animals in this no-kill, privately run animal shelter owe their lives to Peters, who is known to scan the lists of dogs scheduled to be euthanized and rush over to save them from death.
"It isn't hard to find people who care about animals, but when you have the passion that Bernadette has and the drive and the consistent effort to save all these critters, that's special," says fellow actor David Hyde Pierce.
Peters visited the shelter on this day hoping it will be the last time she sees many of "her dogs" there — several will be starring in Saturday's adopt-a-thon she co-founded 15 years ago called Broadway Barks.
She and fellow actress and animal advocate Mary Tyler Moore started the annual star-studded event in 1999 in Shubert Alley — a pedestrian alley at the heart of the Broadway theater district — to help promote animal adoption and raise awareness of the plight of homeless animals.
The free event has grown from a folding-table affair with a few animals from six shelters to a mammoth one with celebrities, musical acts and animals from 27 shelters across the city. There will be signed memorabilia like calendars and stuffed dogs, with all proceeds going to help homeless animals.
Broadway stars this year scheduled to attend and introduce the animals include Sigourney Weaver, Laura Osnes, Bebe Neuwirth, Isabel Keating, Annaleigh Ashford, the girls rotating the lead in "Matilda the Musical," the lead of "Annie" Lilla Crawford, Victoria Clark, Harvey Fierstein, Andrew Rannells and new Tony winners Gabriel Ebert and Billy Porter. Music will be provided by the cast of "Jersey Boys."
"We're all there for the love of animals," says Jane Lynch, a veteran animal rights activist who has been playing Miss Hannigan in the "Annie" revival on Broadway and was asked by Peters to help out Broadway Barks this year.
Shows represented will include "Once," ''Newsies," ''Motown the Musical," ''Kinky Boots," ''Rodger's + Hammerstein's Cinderella," ''Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark," ''Pippin," ''Wicked" and "Mama Mia" and "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike."
"What's so wonderful about Broadway Barks is that it reaches a whole new audience all of its own — theatergoers and theater lovers and show fans, not to mention so many of the cast and crew," says Gail Buchwald, senior vice president of the ASPCA, which sponsors the event.
"It's got a brand of its own and a fantastic draw. Who doesn't want to see the cast and crew members of Broadway shows that are running now? It doesn't get any hotter than that."
The event estimates it helps find homes for 200 animals each year, part of the reason the numbers of animals killed in the city has been falling. An estimated 31,000 animals were euthanized in 2003 and only 8,000 last year.
"We're doing better, but we're still not there yet," says Peters, who calculates that there are 7 million unwanted animals nationwide. "I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up."
From poodles to pugs, Peters is a dog lover, a woman whose hand naturally gravitates to a snout and a muzzle. At the shelter, she is no Broadway diva. She unlocks the cage doors and gets down on her knees to play with the dogs, scratching bellies and getting licks. Chili, a 9-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, later comes out to melt into her with what has to be a doggie smile.
Peters grew up in New York with a father who loved animals. "He would rescue birds and bring them home and fix their broken wings," she says. She got her first dog at age 9.
A visit to the city shelter 15 years ago galvanized her into an activist. She saw so many homeless and abused animals facing death that she felt compelled to act. "We shouldn't discard them," she says. "It's the last frontier where we're allowed to behave barbaric."
Peters, who has two rescue dogs of her own, is always on the lookout to connect a homeless animal with a loving home, as she did recently with the actor and singer Cheyenne Jackson. He had been mourning the loss of his dog Zora and wasn't ready for a new dog when he got an email from Peters.
"Not even any text in the email, just this picture of this dog came up," recalls Jackson with a laugh. "It was this little scrapper. He looked like the Tramp from 'Lady and the Tramp.'" Jackson and his husband, Monte Lapka, soon welcomed Brillo into their lives.
Recently, Jackson was named one of the grand marshals at San Francisco Pride's Parade and Peters was delighted to see him photographed along the route cuddling Brillo. "It was meant to be," Peters says, like a happy matchmaker.
Lynch and Pierce may be the big stars at Broadway Barks this year but both know they'll be taking a backseat to the sweet, furry visitors to Broadway.
"The irony, of course, is that when you go there you think you're the celebrity but once you get on that stage you realize, 'No, it's the animals,'" says Pierce, who is starring in "Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike" and has two pooches at home. "You're sort of a glorified plant stand for a dog or a cat — and that's absolutely fine."

I hope this is the right place for this subject.... first of all, NO, I don't claim to have been abducted by aliens. Many years ago, my every 2 week trip to the Half-Price Book store, 30 miles away meant I'd pick up 2 or 3 books to read until next trip. This one time I could find nothing that interested me. (I had quit reading novels years before. ) Every round I made of the store I kept going back to that rack of paperbacks with that alien face on it. Not interested, until I looked closer and in small print below the title it said "A true story". What the heck! I figured this author was pulling a prank and got interested enough that I bought the book, still thinking that this guy's got a nerve to say "true story".
Couldn't put the book down, it was so interesting. So interesting that I found other books on that subject by all kinds of authors...
Just wondering what you'all think of this whole subject of people from all over the world, who don't know each other, from all kinds of backrounds telling identical stories.

There is a lot of stuff out there on this. For a really interesting read try "Supernatural" by Graham Hancock. That's the book, in my opinion that ties a lot of abduction stuff together, from eleven abduction, to shamanic initiations thru alien abduction.
Don't take life too seriously, no one ever gets out alive.

Thanks Cryscat, I've probably read most of the authors out there on this subject except Graham Hancock's.

Have you read "Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Agenda" by Karla Turner, Ph.D. ? That was one of the earlier books on this and well written. I have it as a pdf file.

How to Contribute
The Industry Partnership Fund (IPF) was established in 2006 under the Industry Partners Act.
The 2018 Industry Partnership Fund is now closed for contributions. Please direct any questions to email@example.com.
About the Industry Partnership Fund
In 2006, the IPF was established to help SCRA sustain and grow the technology-based economy and to enable university research commercialization efforts.
These funds are also used to provide incubation assistance, business services and marketing activities to start-ups in order to execute the mandates in the Innovation Centers Act and the Industry Partners Act.
Contributions are certified by SCRA to the State Department of Revenue and are eligible for a 100% tax credit against South Carolina income taxes, insurance premium taxes and certain license fees.
Making a Contribution
The generosity of our Industry Partnership Fund Contributors allows SCRA to reach the annual $6 million contribution amount. The initial $6 million is eligible for credit against state income taxes, insurance premium taxes and/or certain license fees. Contributions to the fund in excess of $6 million can be accepted, but SCRA is unable to certify contributions in excess of $6 million as qualified for state tax credit.
Because the Internal Revenue Service has recognized SCRA as an organization which is exempt under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)3, contributions to the IPF fund in excess of $6 million may be considered charitable contributions for federal tax purposes.
Additional contribution process details
Mechanics of making a contribution:
- In January of each year the online commitment request form will officially open for that tax year. The opening date will be communicated to past contributors and those who have expressed interest in the fund and will be posted on this website.
- Only commitment requests submitted through the web-based form will be considered as eligible for certification as qualified contributions.
- The annual waiver and acknowledgement (Waiver), required for all certified contributions, must be accepted at the time a commitment request is submitted. The Waiver, among other things, confirms acknowledgement that SCRA provides contribution and taxpayer information to the S.C. Department of Revenue and the IRS. Sample online form and waiver
- No commitment requests will be accepted in person, through email, phone, fax or mail, or by any other means other than the online form process.
- Contribution commitments are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis as provided by law.
- Commitment amounts must be confirmed as eligible for certification by SCRA before qualified contributions can be accepted.
- A single South Carolina contributor can claim as a credit against state income taxes, insurance premium taxes and/or certain license fees 100% of an amount contributed up to a maximum credit of $2 million. The aggregate limit is $6 million. Contributions to the fund in excess of $6 million can be accepted, but SCRA is unable to certify contributions in excess of $6 million as qualified for state tax credit.
- Certified contributors will receive the following documents:
- A letter certifying the amount of the tax credit (to be attached to the contributor's tax return).
- A waiver form to be executed by the contributor and returned to SCRA in an enclosed, stamped, self-addressed envelope. This waiver allows SCRA to report required information to the South Carolina Department of Revenue.
- A contact information form to be returned in the enclosed envelope.
- SCRA nor any of its affiliates or any of the officers, employees, representatives or other agents of SCRA or any such affiliate have provided or will provide (i) any representation or warranty or advice regarding the position of any court or the South Carolina Department of Revenue or Internal Revenue Service in relation to any tax or other benefits or qualifications or limitations or results which may be related to the Contribution Amount, or (ii) any legal or other advice whatsoever.
Tax treatment of Industry Partnership Fund contributions is subject to the South Carolina Code of Laws and the Internal Revenue Code, each as may be amended from time to time, and judicial and regulatory guidance related thereto.

Why did consistency matter when building a large payments system? Data in the system needed to be consistent. But just how consistent? For some parts of the system, only strongly consistent data would do. For example, knowing if a payment has been initiated is something that needed to be stored in a strongly consistent way. For other parts, that were less mission-critical, eventual consistency is something that was considered as a reasonable tradeoff. A good example is listing recent transactions: these could be implemented with eventual consistency (meaning, the latest transaction might only show up in parts of the system after a while - in return, the operation will be return with lower latency or be less resource intensive).Why did consistency matter when building a large payments system?

means that once data is successfully added to a data store, it will be available going forward. This will be the case even if nodes in the system go offline, crash or have their data corrupted.
Different distributed databases have different levels of durability. Some support machine/node level durability, some do this at cluster level and some just don't provide it out of the box. Some form of replication is usually used to increase durability - if the data is stored on multiple nodes, if one or more nodes go down, the data will still be available.

on why achieving durability in distributed systems can be challenging.
Why did data durability matter when building a payments system? For many parts of the system, no data could be lost, given this being something critical, like payments. The distributed data stores we built on needed to support cluster level data durability - so even if instances would crash, completed transactions would persist. These days, most distributed data storage services, like Cassandra, MongoDB, HDFS or Dynamodb all support durability at various levels and can be all configured to provide cluster level durability.Why did data durability matter when building a payments system?
Nodes in distributed systems perform computations, store data and send messages to each other. A key characteristic of sending messages is how reliably these messages arrive. For mission-critical systems, there is often a need for having zero messages being lost.
For distributed systems, messaging is usually done by some distributed messaging service, such as RabbitMQ, Kafka or others. These messaging services can support (or be configured to support) different levels of reliability in delivering messages.
Message persistence means that when some failure happens on a node that is processing the message, the message will still be there to process after the failure is resolved. Message durability is usually used at
message queue
level. With a durable message queue, if the queue (or node) goes offline when the message is sent, it will still get the message when it comes back online. An good article to read more on this topic is

Ceylon also forces us to declare that an attribute or method refines (overrides) an attribute or method of a superclass by annotating it
not "overrides" like Java
). All this annotating stuff costs a few extra keystrokes, but it helps the compiler detect errors. We can't inadvertently refine a member of the superclass, or inadvertently fail to refine it.
Notice that Ceylon goes out of its way to repudiate the idea of "duck" typing or structural typing. If it
like a
, then it should be a subtype of
and must explicitly refine the definition of

structural typing doesn't work properly with tools
There's a more compact way to refine a
member of a superclass: simply specify its refined implementation using
, like this:
Or assign a value to it using
, like this:
You can refine any method or non-
attribute using this streamlined syntax.
Note that this shortcut syntax does not allow annotations. If you need to add documentation or other annotations to the refining member, you must use the more verbose syntax.

Using the shortcut syntax for refinement that

(But in this case, the shortcut syntax is perhaps not an improvement.)
Now let's consider a much more interesting problem: abstracting over the polar and cartesian coordinate systems. Since a cartesian coordinate isn't just a special kind of polar coordinate, this is a case for introduction of an abstract superclass:

YES! But How?: Green Washing
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average family cycles through 400 loads of laundry each year. Washing machines are second only to toilets in residential water use: The typical top-loader guzzles 41 gallons per load. Switching to a front-loader cuts the rate nearly in half and saves an equal amount of energy.
The person who told you not to use eco-friendly soap may have been concerned about a potentially moldy side effect: residue build-up. This problem isn't restricted to natural products, though. Most new front-loaders leave grime because people stick with their old soap habits, believing more suds to be better. But front-loaders require far less detergent (and water) than top-loaders because the machine tumbles, rather than agitates, garments.
Manufacturers don't always state clearly that front-loaders require "high efficiency" or "HE" soap. This concentrated formula is designed to work with less water, but you can still overuse it—even if you follow instructions. Generally, a tablespoon is enough for a load (although one-quarter cup may be recommended). Any excess could result in mildew and damage to your machine.
Don't give up on the benefits of natural (or mostly natural) soap. The alternative, using commercial detergents, can be toxic to both your health and the environment. These detergents contain petroleum by-products to reduce the surface tension of water and ease washing; the EPA has linked their synthetic ingredients to skin irritation, asthma, and even cancer. Phosphates, another common—but unnecessary—ingredient, prevent dirt from settling on clothes but can kill fish in local streams.
Use nontoxic, biodegradable products that are highly concentrated. Among the brands available at many grocery stores are Seventh Generation, ECOS, and Biokleen. If you'd like to save money, DIY laundry soap is as easy as combining two cups of grated soap (try Castille, made from vegetable oils rather than animal products), one cup of washing soda (found in the laundry aisle of most grocery stores), and one cup of borax (a natural mineral compound also readily available). One tablespoon of this powder is sufficient.
To rid your front-loader of residue, run an empty load with a cup of vinegar, then wipe the interior with a water- and vinegar-soaked rag. Meanwhile, keep the door open after use to prevent any filmy traces of over-sudsing.
