Meadowvale Mold Removal Services
Are you looking for mold removal services in Meadowvale?
The first step to a successful mould remediation is a proper assessment. A mould assessment will determine the location of mould growth (hidden and visible) and where the mould spores have travelled to.
After a proper assessment a mould clean up protocol can be created where we will put you in touch with our qualified contractors that can then safely remove the mould growth.
The goal of remediation is to clean or remove building materials contaminated with mould while preventing the emission of fungi from leaving the work area. We want to leave the area in a state of normal fungal ecology for that particular environment. Mouldx's certified remediators assess each unique situation and develop a remediation strategy based on the scope of the project. We provide this mold removal services in multiple areas including Meadowvale.
Meadowvale Mold Remediation Activities May Include:
- Strategy development.
- Occupational Health and Safety implementation.
- Hazard communication with all occupants involved.
- Complete containment of the infected area.
- HEPA vacuuming to ensure dust and debris are contained.
- Disinfecting the contained area.
- Removal and disposal of contaminated building materials.
Meadowvale Contents Remediation
Every now and again, we come across a client who needs to have hundreds to thousands of items remediated off-site.
Mouldx has a 1500 square foot warehouse with a 3-stage decontamination facility to accommodate large-scale contents cleaning.
We can arrange everything from item organizing, packing, delivery, storing, and cleaning. Just let us know your needs, and we'll work together to get the problem solved, whether you are in Meadowvale or any other city.
Aegis Mould Prevention Products
- Provides protection against odour causing bacteria, fungus and other microorganisms
- Permanently bonded antimicrobial barrier
- Registered with the EPA since 1976 and PMRA since 1997 and also registered in the UK and Asia
Remember, the first and best defense is a good offense. The importance of having a microbial pollutant control and prevention component as part of your contingency plan and having a baseline of knowledge about the microbial habitats in your building is essential. The usefulness of a proven long-lasting, effective antimicrobial treatment which offers protection from the re-growth of microorganisms is also essential.
Attic Cleaning
We remediate attics!!!
Let us guess. An inspector has come across some black stuff up in the attic and has recommended a professional take a look at it, because it might be MOULD! Even worse, you may not be able to sell the house until the problem is rectified…
Don't panic: If the inspector took a picture, send it to us and we'll let you know if it's a problem – free of charge. We've dealt with many attics over the years, and can help you get that house sold in no time.
Dry Ice
Dry ice blasting or "cryo-blasting" is an important component to the 'large-scale" remediation process.
When mould covers a large area, it is potentially more cost-effective to clean the contaminated surface with dry-ice media. Blasting can remove growth from difficult areas in a very short time. What would regularly take weeks, can sometimes be finished in a few hours!
Due to the extensive creation of particulates, an experienced remediator is required for a strong THOUGHTFUL containment to ensure nothing migrates
to unaffected areas.

Call Us Now and We'll Get Rid of Your Mold In 48 Hours.
Hear What They Have to Say:
Mouldx was recommended to me after mold was discovered in our recently purchased home. I contacted Charles and he was great to deal with. They set up a date to come out and investigate the mold report findings from another company and found the problem wasn't as bad as indicated on the reports.
They proceeded to do what was necessary to remove what mold was there and they completed the work in a timely fashion. Their work was very professional and I appreciate their honesty."
Frank from Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada
Gita Rotenberg from Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I never expected the same day service from you nor to have the job completed within 24 hours of me calling you.
Matt was so professional, polite, did excellent work and even left my kitchen cleaner then when he found it. That's what I call great, above the call of duty, customer service. I can't thank you enough. I wish all the success."
Julie Sinopoli from Newmarket, Ontario, Canada
The crew was personable but professional and the job was done neatly, quickly and without disturbing the flow of our household. Excellent service and excellent company.
They are my "go to" guys for any issues with molds in a home."
Emeli from Zephyr, Ontario, Canada
He even advised us about keeping other areas of the house mould-free. Additionally, he helped us identify contractors who were also excellent to assist with other issues in our house. We wholeheartedly recommend Charles for any mould remediation job."
Pat Dean Brick from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
Charles thoroughly reviewed the removal process with myself and my husband and was always available to answer any questions. The technicians were efficient and fast, completely removing the mold and cleaning up after their work was completed.
I would not have any second thoughts in recommending Mouldx for any mold-related projects.
Karolyn Katz from Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada
After searching, myself, for a mould remediator and being extremely unimpressed with what I found, I asked my mould inspector who he could recommend.
He recommended Mouldx. And I was glad that he did.
Charles was there to answer whatever question I had. They completed the remediation work in the 2nd floor bedroom and the entire basement as he said they would and he made sure that I was satisfied with it before he left. They did and excellent job cleaning. My final interior mould test was better than outside (which is great).
Mouldx delivered great service and excellent work. It was a pleasure doing business with him. I highly recommend Mouldx. And if you know the renovation issues that I have been through that is saying a lot. I wish more contractors were as service and quality driven as Mouldx."
Cheryl from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
Mouldx responded immediately to our email inquiry and were able to set up a date for an inspection asap. Charles arrived at the time he told us (no waiting around) and was professional and personable, gave us options for assistance and was clear and honest about the timing of having the work completed.
Shortly thereafter he and his team arrived at the exact time specified with a friendly email reminder beforehand and began on time and without hesitation. The team was friendly and non-invasive to our home, were polite and tidy and completely trustworthy.
The job took less time than we expected and our basement is squeaky clean, smells newly built and ready to be used once again as a playroom and guest room. I would recommend this company to anyone seeking mold removal services.
Emeli from Zephyr, Ontario, Canada
Mouldx did both and more. Our experience is that they give you a clear explanation of what the situation is and what your options are.
They listen to what the client wants as to give you the most suitable advice. The price was right and the work was swift and clean. Moral of the story, great company!
R. Akhbeis from Markham, Ontario, Canada
Then along comes Mouldx, recommended by the hygienist and it's totally different experience. No fear mongering, cut to the chase do what's needed attitude and all with a smile.
Charles is extremely patient and answers all questions honestly. A genuine nice guy. You would expect an even bigger price tag but not so, he beat everyone else's quote. The proof is in the pudding and there is no escaping clearance testing and let me tell you they deliver.
Despite high counts the house tested squeaky clean. Even the hygienist was impressed. Last they do things in a manner that causes the least possible damage. All I was left with is some staple holes to fill around a door trim. Others were going to tear up the floor!
John from Scarborough, Ontario, Canada
After many quotes and a confusing array of assessments, Charles at Mouldx was the only one who offered a prompt, written quote and then followed up with professional, timely and empathetic service.
I can't speak highly enough of this company and would recommend them without reservation. [Wish] all service providers were as professional and honest as Mouldx.

Foam vs. Rubber – How to Select the Right Gym Flooring Material
One of the single most asked questions we receive here at RubberFlooringInc.com is "Should I get foam or rubber for my home gym flooring?" This quick post is going to explain the benefits and disadvantages to using each type of material in an attempt to help answer that question for everyone.
Benefits of foam Include:
- Light weight
- Flexible and shock absorbent
- Soft
- Water proof
- An excellent insulator
- Wide variety of colors
- Available in interlocking tiles or portable mats
- Easy to install and keep clean
All of these reasons make foam an excellent choice for home gyms and portable exercise mats.
Disadvantages to using foam include:
- Will indent under heavy weight
- Less durable than rubber
- Can be punctured or scratched
Benefits of rubber include:
- Extremely durable
- Excellent insulator against sound transmission
- Able to withstand heavy weight equipment
- The "Green" story – black rubber flooring is made using recycled rubber tires
- Available in easy to install interlocking tiles and low cost rubber rolls
- East to clean
All of these reasons make rubber an excellent choice for commercial gyms and home gyms where heavy weight equipment and free weights are used.
Disadvantages to using rubber include:
- Rubber flooring is very heavy
- Does not insulate well against temperature transmission
- Bright colored rubber is usually made from virgin rubber and can be more expensive
We hope that helped to better explain when to use foam or rubber for your home gym. If you are still not sure what to use, we always recommend ordering some free samples so that you can see and feel the products for yourself. If you have anything else to add or have any questions, please comment below.
May 23, 2013 at 5:35 pm
Great analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of foam vs rubber. I think someone could get away with foam for a real basic home gym with very light equipment, but rubber is definitely the way to go for a more serious gym that you want to be durable and really last.

One Word Keywords Don't Bring Money
Everyone wants to rank for "shoes," "car" and "SEO," but one word queries deliver few sales and are expensive to optimize for. Searchers usually use one word keywords, and then go back and refine their search, because the choice is too broad.
For example, Bob is shopping for a car. He puts the word "car" into Google's search. He gets 111 million hits (no exaggeration). He quickly realizes that the term is too broad to give the results he wants.
What kind of car is he looking for? Is it an SUV, sports car, BMW, Mitsubishi or some sort of a pick-up truck? He refines his search to "sedan car 2008." He gets less than three million results. That's somewhat better.
Websites on top of search results with a title tag optimized for this keyword promise to give Bob what he wants, so he clicks. This is even more true for other industries.
Bob may not buy a car online, but it's a different story when we compare the one word phrase "camera" with "sony digital camcorder." The latter phrase is the sales maker.
Low Search Volume = No Traffic = No Dough
Keyword selection is most effective when it follows this matrix:
1.Search volume > 2.conversion rate
It's not practical (and expensive as hell) to optimize for one word generic keywords, but don't get so carried away that you fall into a "conversion hole." Conversion rates do matter; those are your sales. There must be healthy search volume, however, for a term to make the entire equation work. The key term "buy sony CD453 digital camera" may deliver a 90 percent conversion rate, but if practically no one uses it when searching, it's worthless.
Two- to four-word key phrases tend to deliver good conversion rates, while providing good search volume.
{mospagebreak title=Keywords That Convert Best}
After you group top-level keywords and corresponding search terms, it's time to sort through the mess and leave out search terms that don't deliver value. Sort through the list and delete any key phrases that are unrelated or plain rubbish; also delete those with very low search volume. If you have doubts about particular key phrase, leave it in and come back later.
Your goal during this stage is to leave keywords that are likely to attract visitors to your site and deliver sales. Generic terms can get a lot of traffic, but few sales; or they may deliver sales, but not enough to cover heavy SEO investments.
Though longer keywords are not searched as often as the one-word generic ones, they are easier to rank for and usually deliver more sales to the bottom line.
When a searcher types exactly what he is looking for into the search box, he is in a much better position to buy from you.
Informational Queries
Those are queries that don't necessarily deliver sales, but help people at earlier stages of the buying process. They may start with "how" and "what" questions or use suggestive phrases that imply a question.
Sometimes competitive niches are overly cluttered with offers, pitches and affiliates trying to sell products and services on every click. It can get hard to find quality advice and content. This can be your opportunity. If all that your competitors do is sell, you can take another position and help customers buy better. They will appreciate you, and consider you above the rest when it comes the actual sale. You'll be surprised by how many niches are bleeding for quality material. The challenge is in developing truly editorial content and then ranking a website above competitors.
Optimizing for this traffic will bring very low conversion rates, but it will arm you with quality content. You can create a section dedicated to such topics as "how to," "reviews" and comparisons.
{mospagebreak title=Organizing and Targeting Several Keywords Per Page}
Most optimizers skip this stage either because they have developed intuitive skills and do it on auto pilot or because they don't know about it. This stage can make a large difference to your end results.
The previous stages were about identifying the right terms and filtering the results to get rid of useless and non-converting keywords. This stage actually maps content structure and affects the optimization of pages.
Identify Pages: The first step is to identify your pages. Look through the content that you have, and consider the pages that will be changed and modified.
Cross-compare your keyword list with these pages and make decisions as to which pages will target which keywords. Sometimes there's simply not enough pages to target all of the keywords. Sometimes pages just aren't suitable – but don't worry, that's where new content comes in.
Group Top Level Keywords with Other Search Terms: As with the previous step, your top level key phrases should be grouped together with related search phrases. Find search phrases closely related to the top level phrases and put them together.
Be careful about key phrases you group together. You don't want the "romantic roses" and "cheap roses" being on the same page, while "romantic roses" and "elegant roses" work well together. When grouping keywords, make sure you find very related phrases, without spreading out too much. Fitting two keywords that are not very related onto one page complicates link building and looks weird from the user's perspective.
There's also the copy writing to keep in mind, which should look natural with the keywords you want.
Some keyword optimization tips to keep in mind:
Don't use misspellings.
Do not put singular and plural versions of the keyword. Those tend to have vast differences in search volume.
Use related keywords on one page.
When looking at your competitors, look at their back link profile to get a feel for the time and money required to achieve and surpass their results.
You can also use outside SEO firms to do keyword research and then cross compare results. Be sure to select leaders, since many companies have a loose approach towards keyword research.
Use both broad and narrow terms in your list for top level phrases.
Watch for seasonal factors that may affect keyword effectiveness. Observe seasonal change with Google Trends.
Use Give me Back My Google to see search results without competition.
{mospagebreak title=Keyword Research Tools for Deep Research}
We already mentioned Google Keyword Tool, Wordtracker and Keyword Discovery in the last article, so we're not going to give you a lot of detail about them here.
SEO Book Keyword Research Tool – Based on the Wordtracker database, it offers a lot of hip features. The SEO book tool lists daily estimates for Yahoo, Google and MSN. It also has direct links to Yahoo Suggest, Google Trends, Google Traffic Estimator, Google Suggest, Google Insights, a Technocrati blog search, and much more.
Google Trends – See traffic trends for keywords and websites over different periods of time.
Google Suggest – Now a default feature on Google for the .com domain, it can give you some top level keyword ideas.
Adcenter Keyword Forecast – This tool from Microsoft is designed to predict demographic distribution of keywords. Microsoft has an immense amount of Hotmail and Live mail data. Don't put too much trust in it, though.
Adcenter Keyword Mutation – Some real wise guy at Microsoft decided to start calling misspelled keywords "mutated." Go figure.
Adcenter Keyword Group Detection – This tool offers a nice line up of related keywords.
Wordze – This is another cool keyword research tool. You need an account to play with it.
Dependency-based Word Similarity – This tool helps you spot related and similar keywords.
Google Sets – Lets you create keyword sets based on the keywords you enter.
Quintura – This site shows you the semantic relationship between keywords. Useful in SEO copy writing.
Ebay Research Labs – Shows you keywords that are hot and not hot on eBay. Enter a keyword and eBay will create a list dynamically.
Google Hot Trends – Shows you the hottest searches on Google. Updated frequently.
Yahoo Buzz – Similar to the previous tool, shows you the hottest searches on Yahoo.
Typo Generator – Lets you create a list of misspelled keywords.
Excel Keyword Plugin – This is a very cool extension from Microsoft (but it only works with Office 2007). Select a keyword list, then select the ad editor to get search volume and pricing estimates from Microsoft. The data is limited to ad center.
Before diving right into search engine optimization, do the research! You may know the keywords approximately, but you are stuck with the keywords you select for a long time. Keywords affect everything in an SEO campaign, from page titles to links!
Once you select the keywords, you'll usually spend the next several months working with those keywords. Spend a day or even several days ensuring those keywords will give you the bottom line results you want, because it's the element that matters. If you skip this step, you're building your campaign without knowing the real profit potential of the market.
Organize keywords into top level sections, then research using the top level words. Drop the crap and combine closely-related terms on single pages… Once you invest this much effort in finding keywords, you'll extract phrases required to dominate your niche on search engines.
By doing this kind of research, you will achieve not only top rankings, which are not always guaranteed to bring in money, but you'll also achieve your business goals and bottom line numbers. You will attract not only traffic, but customers who share their credit card numbers, pick up a phone and call, fill out forms or download your demos.

Good Luck!

FORT MYERS, Fla. - The University of South Carolina Beaufort baseball team went into the Sun Conference tournament playing its best baseball of the season.
The Sand Sharks might have turned in their best performance yet in the tournament's opening game.
Miles Galvin, Andrew Barrineau and Kyle McCullough combined for 11 scoreless innings and Ryan Walker and Ryan Doeppel drove in runs in the top of the 11th as sixth-seeded USCB knocked off top-seeded Embry-Riddle 2-0 Tuesday at City of Palms Park.
The Sand Sharks (24-21) continue the double-elimination tournament at 3 p.m. today against No. 3 seed St. Thomas.
USCB's pitchers were outstanding, as Galvin limited the Eagles (40-13) to four hits over seven scoreless frames before handing it over to the bullpen. Barrineau worked two scoreless innings and McCullough (6-1) pitched the final two innings for the win.
The Sand Sharks got into their share of trouble, but Embry-Riddle stranded 14 runners with plenty of help from USCB's defense. The Sand Sharks turned inning-ending double plays in the first and 10th innings, the latter of which came with the bases loaded and extended the game, and threw out a runner at the plate in the seventh.
USCB also squandered some opportunities, leaving runners at the corners in the fourth and having a runner cut down at the plate to end the seventh, but the Sand Sharks took advantage in the 11th. J.J. Crespo led off the inning with a single and moved to third on Erik Armstrong's one-out single. Crespo scored on Walker's infield hit to third base, and Doeppel singled home Armstrong for a 2-0 lead.
The bottom of the inning was uneventful, as McCullough retired the Eagles in order to preserve the Sand Sharks' first shutout of the season.
Armstrong was 4 for 5 for USCB. Walker and Blake Cilwick went 2 for 5.

Becoming a lawyer takes more than sitting through three years of law school lectures. It involves more than learning how to cross-examine hostile witnesses, write persuasive briefs, and talk to clients. Reading about subjects such as legal ethics or law practice management is not the same as learning about them from experience.
Throughout the LADR program, you will learn legal doctrine, lawyering skills, and professional values, and work in Chicago-Kent's teaching law firm, supervised by clinical professors who are expert practitioners and mentors. You will learn the art of lawyering through two years of intensive skills and clinical training. Your experience will teach you how to become a competent, ethical, and socially responsible lawyer.
To learn more about this program, please attend one of the following Information Meetings:
3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in Room 590;
Wednesday, January 30, 2002
3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. - Room (to be announced)
APPLICATIONS FOR THIS PROGRAM MUST BE TURNED IN BY FEBRUARY 5, 2002. Please turn in applications to the Receptionist in Room 600.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR 2Ls and 3Ls
The Law Offices is seeking a law student eligible for Illinois Supreme Court Rule 711 license to work at the Advice Desk, a pro bono clinical program at the Richard J. Daley Center. Students will gain experience in housing, contract, tort and collection defense work in a high intensity, live-client setting - often referred to as "the 'E.R.' of Law." Eligible students are needed for 24 hours per week and will be paid a rate of $12.50 per hour. Prior experience as a student in the Advice Desk program is a plus, but not required.
Interested students should send a resume to Professor Edward Kraus, Law Offices, Suite 600, Chicago-Kent College of Law, 565 W. Adams Street, Chicago, IL 60661, or send e-mail attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Completed applications must be received at the Office of the U.S. Attorney by Monday, December 10, 2001. The reason for this accelerated date is because each accepted extern must go through a security clearance, which takes several weeks.
To receive law school credit for this externship, should you be selected by the U.S. Attorney's Office, you must enroll in the law school's Legal (Advanced) Externship Program. The law school's externship applications are also available in Room 600 Law Offices reception area and in the Career Services office.
Professor Gross will be happy to answer any questions you may have about either the Externship Program or the externship position with the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The Justice Web Collaboratory (JWC) Externship provides students the opportunity to explore Access to Justice issues, including the use of technology in legal services, alternative legal services delivery models, e-lawyering and pro se litigant assistance. Students work in conjunction with the Justice Web Collaboratory and its Illinois Technology Center for Law & the Public Interest (ITC), a statewide collaboration of legal services providers, whose mission is to provide low-income individuals with greater access to the legal system through the use of technology.
The externship allows students to acquire direct client service experience and to use that experience to assist in the development and upgrading of innovative web resources for pro se litigants and the public. Students will split their time between these two activities and will have the flexibility to choose opportunities that most appeal to them. Students who have computer and web design skills will have the ability to utilize those skills.
The direct client service portion of the externship provides students with experience in assisting self-represented litigants and/or providing brief legal services to low-income individuals. Examples of these opportunities include the following:
The development and upgrading of web resources for pro se litigants and the public involves the following activities:
A class will meet on Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. and will be taught by Professors Gross and Staudt. Four (4) credits will be awarded for the JWC Externship, which requires at least 16 hours per week spent on externship activities. Students can earn additional credit the following semester by arrangement.
To enroll in the externship, students must submit their resumes to Prof. Gross. Prior immigration law experience is not required. Fluency in a second language is helpful although it is not a requirement for the externship.

Midwest Immigrant Rights Center
First Defense Legal Aid (FDLA), the only program of its kind in the country, fills the gap in Illinois' public defender system by providing 24-hour free legal representation to adults and children in police custody or under police investigation. FDLA provides a unique "frontline" criminal defense experience for students, enabling them to see: how evidence is collected and created; the tactics of the Chicago Police Department when trying to extract a confession or question witnesses; the role that the Cook County State's Attorney's Felony Review Team plays during the beginning stages of a criminal investigation; and the utter vulnerability of children and adults when under intensive and sometimes abusive interrogation. In addition to this stationhouse representation, FDLA also works toward the permanent improvement of our criminal justice system by educating the public, organizing community residents to combat police misconduct, by engaging in legislative and community advocacy, investigating patterns of misconduct by the Chicago Police, taking select criminal defense cases to trial, and initiating 42 U.S.C. §1983 litigation to improve the policies and procedures of the Chicago Police as they relate to the treatment of persons in police custody.
Students participating in the FDLA class must be eligible for a Illinois Supreme Court Rule 711 license. Students representing FDLA clients at Chicago Police Stations will gain unique insight into the criminal justice system at its earliest stage and be able to:
1. View and Document Line-Ups, DNA testing, and Halt
Lie Detector Tests.
Students will be trained to provide legal representation to adults and children under criminal investigation. In addition to a weekly, one-hour class (Mondays from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.), students will be available to represent persons in custody six hours each week and actually go to the police station to represent them. Students will be provided with pagers and FDLA will reimburse transportation expenses. Three supervising attorneys will be available at all times to assist students and provide support. For more information, contact Kate Walz at (773) 826-6550 or firstname.lastname@example.com .
For information on the Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic, please visit the new website:

By: Ms Jen Cork, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 13 Feb 2012
When developing the Frogs Field Guide we planned to build the app for both iOS and Android platforms.
As we delved deeper into scoping the project, however, we decided to focus the first build of the application on the iOS platform. Here's why...
We based our decision on a number of factors.
First, when we started the build our research highlighted that, in Australia, the larger market share was held by iOS. This stat has since shifted, with Android now having the larger percentage of the worldwide market. Even though the numbers are changing, however, the engagement on the iOS platform has remained strong as demonstrated in this article.
Second, Apple's streamlined developer experience has attracted great developers to the iOS space, often resulting in a more enjoyable and meaningful user experience. For now, the nature of this experience means that many developers have stayed in the iOS space, continuing to build a rich market place of high-quality apps.
Third, it seems that the strict framework Apple have created for their apps and market place is working to the benefit (for the most part) of both users and developers. It's resulted in a greater integrity in iOS apps and the Apple Store maintains a high level of quality.
The final reason we chose iOS is that a very large percentage of mobile visitors to our website over the past year are on the iOS platform. Although this may not automatically translate to app downloads, it does give us an idea of our mobile audience and the platform they are engaged with.
So, we while we believe our visitors will have a great experience with our Frogs Field Guide on iOS, we are not discounting Android. As we learned about the Andorid platform from developing DangerOz... watch this space!
For more information about the app visit our 'Frogs Field Guide' page.
Sounds good Lynda!
Interesting that a new report has come out saying 'Apple is now the world's number one seller of smartphones'. Forbes.com has a great little summary article well worth a read. Lots going on in the space!
Great post Jen. We have had quite a bit of feedback requesting an Android version which I find interesting as this didn't happen so much with DangerOz. I think this demonstrates what you say above, that this platform is growing. As we discussed I'm keen to see what we can get done with Android so lets talk soon!

(ARA) - When school starts, kids' schedules fill up fast, and that means they need the right fuel to keep their growing bodies and minds satisfied. After a long day of learning, kids require a snack that will get them through homework, after-school sports and other activities until dinner is served. Before you reach for the default bag of chips, consider these healthier alternatives that are just as easy and convenient.
Creative, healthier after-school snack ideas that your kids will gobble up:
INDIAN LAND – Red Ventures announced Tuesday, Aug. 7, it has purchased 16 additional acres adjacent to its headquarters with the goal of doubling its workforce over the coming five years.
According to the announcement, the company will begin construction of its third building by the end of the year, a move that will allow the company to hire an additional 1,000 employees.
The direct-marketing company currently employs nearly 1,000 employees at its 17-acre, 150,000 square-foot center in the 521 Corporate Center Park in Indian Land.
A fight between two men at a J.B. Denton Road home early Saturday, Aug. 4, ended in the street with gunfire.
One of the men – William Lee Adams, 42, 2120 J.B. Denton Road – was arrested Sunday, Aug. 5, and charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
Adams is jailed at the Lancaster County Detention Center and his bond has been denied.
Sometimes, the daily news headlines can get you down.
Flipping through the newspaper or checking the day's news online, often it seems as if there's nothing but bad news to go around.
Lately there's been plenty, from the movie massacre in Colorado to depressing economic figures and even the passing of Andy Griffith, a man who embodied old-fashioned values from a bygone era.
Craning his neck toward a flat-screen television high on the wall, Nick Mills checked in on the final minutes of an Olympic volleyball match between the U.S. and Tunisia on Monday afternoon.
Though not an avid fan of either volleyball or the Olympics, Mills often finds himself caught up into the action. As the seconds counted down, the U.S. team won 3-0.
It's one of many matches and events at the Summer Olympics in London he's watched in between helping customers at Perks Cafe and Creamery along S.C. 9 Bypass.
KERSHAW – A display of patriotism can go a long way in helping Kershaw residents in need.
The Kershaw Lions Club is still promoting a campaign in which it provides American flags for groups and individuals who donate to the service organization.
A flag can be rented for $25 a year. There's no stated limit on how many flags can be requested.
The money goes toward eye exams, eyeglasses, hearing aids and other forms of assistance for Kershaw residents in need, particularly children and the elderly.
The second full week of high school football practice has teams continuing with scrimmages and working for jamborees at the end of the week.
CHARLOTTE – Metaphors, rhythmic monologues and vivid descriptions fell from the mouths of poets quite frequently.
When a performer took to the stage, there was no telling what you were bound to hear.
One woman shared a poem that revealed her insecurities and self-esteem issues. A fellow poet detailed the joys and struggles of raising his son, while another performer used humor to talk about falling in love with a woman who happened to share sharply different political views.
Officers were called to a Lancaster apartment complex early Tuesday morning, July 31, about a possible assault of a 10-year-old boy.
At about 2:15 a.m., several officers responded to an assault call in the 2100 block of Pardue Street, according to a Lancaster Police Department incident report.
A 36-year-old Lancaster woman told officers at the scene that her son was assaulted by a 21-year-old Lancaster man they both know.
A Lancaster man was jailed Aug. 1, on multiple charges after witnesses reported seeing him assault a teenage girl along Arch Street.
Daniel Thomas Strain, 24, 206 McCardell St., was arrested and charged with kidnapping and second-degree assault and battery, according to a Lancaster Police Department incident report.

Despite consistent snowfall and deteriorating conditions, Kevin Jones came from behind to steal the Slopestyle event at the ESPN Winter X Games at Mount Snow, Vermont from Todd Richards. On the women's side, Jaime Macleod took the lead and then held on edging out a surprisingly sharp Shannon Dunn.
The snows that threatened yesterday's Boarder X hit in full force today, slowing up the course and also playing havoc with visibility. Goggles and wax again played a part in the event.
Last year's winner, Kevin Jones, saved it all for the last run. With precision on the rails and excellent spins, he posted a score of 89.67 to upset leader Richards, who posted the leading score his first run, then upped it on both his second and third runs with a final of 88.67. This was his second year taking second place in the slopestyle.
For all three runs, Richards led the competition and looked to have a lock on it, as Jones was not up to his usual smoothness.
"It was super fun," said Richards. "I wish they had a thousand contests like this through the year. The very last run I didn't really pay attention and just cruised it. I didn't think I could do any better."
He started the top of the run with stock slides. "I'm no Kevin Jones on the rails," he says. But his strongest hits were at the bottom throwing a 540 and 900 on the two big jumps. The crowd went nuts.
Jones knew he had to pull something out of his hat on the final run if was going to take it. "There are too many good riders around these days," he said. "You have to try something you've never tried before and almost kill yourself to win."
His new rail slide was a 450 on and off the rail. "I wasn't even going to try that today," he said. "The course was super fun, except when I was falling on my ass the first two runs."
The women opened the day under the falling snow. Last year's second place finisher Jaime Macleod posted the high score of 71.5 her first run then watched as all the women failed to do better in the second run of the best-of-two format.
Doing her first slopestyle ever, Dunn scored the second place with a solid performance on the rails and stable jumps.
Macleod was inspired by the crowd that was cheering crazily at the bottom after she won. "The crowd is getting crazy and having a good time and that's what it's all about," she said.
She was modest about her performance. "I stood up and did some rail slides, that's all. On my second run I tried to stay on a rail and it bit me in the lip." She was sporting a fat lip from hitting it on the snow after she fell off a rail. "Everyone ripped it. It's crazy winning. It hasn't hit home yet. But I'll have fun spending the $12,000 dollars."
Last year's winner, Tara Dakides, couldn't put together a good run and ended up in seventh place. Marni Yamada slide into the final podium slot.
Tomorrow's action moves to the SuperPipe, with women starting things off and men finishing in the afternoon. Look for more updates live from Mount Snow.

by guitarsmashley » Wed Jun 12, 2013 11:21 pmSO zechs probably got a lil chubber but otherwise meh.
by HNutz » Thu Jun 13, 2013 8:00 amIt looked pretty and was solidly written. And the poster was cool. I guess it was worth the price.
I'm intrigued to see where this goes.
Even if it gives us ANOTHER "evil Superman". Or maybe this will be the NuDCU version of Zod or something.
by guitarsmashley » Thu Jun 13, 2013 8:40 amI'm guessing it's the eradicator. Hence the Zechs boner, he likes all the shitty characters.
by IvCNuB4 » Thu Jun 13, 2013 9:05 am
Totally. This was the best written Superman since the reboot.
by Punchy » Thu Jun 13, 2013 11:18 amUnfortunately, this first issue of Superman Unchained doesn't involve Kal-El being freed from slavery by a kindly German dentist and killing Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L Jackson, but it's still pretty good. Ever since Grant Morrison left Action Comics and Andy Diggle's run was curtailed before it even begun, this has been the book I've been waiting to deliver a Superman comic that is actually good, and whilst it wasn't perfect, I think it's a good start.
Scott Snyder (no relation to Man Of Steel 'visionary director' Zack) has become one of my favourite writers and one of DC's best thanks to his work on Batman, Swamp Thing and American Vampire, and he brings his usual high quality to the world of Superman. Yes, he does return to some of his usual tics, like every issue beginning with an anecdote about the hero's childhood or parents, but it's one thing to read Bruce Wayne reminisce for the umpteenth time, than to read Clark Kent do it for the first time. Snyder has really built up a real and relevant world for Batman, and if he can do the same for Superman, then it's all good.
We see that here in the scenes with the classic trifecta of Clark, Lois and Jimmy. The dialogue between all three of them is very strong, and Snyder manages to make the Daily Planet seem real, with Lois worrying about ad placement in the paper. We also see some commentary on the state of the media today, Clark has grown frustrated by the tabloidy nature the Planet has taken and so is an independent blogger, which is very cool. I also like how Snyder is establishing a living and thriving Metropolis, complete with Bagel Shops. I really like DC's fake cities, and when writers like James Robinson, Geoff Johns and Scott Snyder really endeavor to make them seem real and distinctive, then I'm going to love it.
The actual Superman plot here involves Superman stopping a space station from crashing to Earth, in a very exciting, widescreen sequence wonderfully drawn by Jim Lee. I'm not the biggest Jim Lee fan in the world, but you know what you're going to get from him, and the scope of this crash was real Jim Lee stuff. That massive double-sized poster was something else (albeit a bit unwieldy and hard to read, are we supposed to remove it from the cardboard? I dunno).
Snyder manages to use this crash to not only show how awesome Superman is, but set up several interesting plotlines. There's the possibility that a new cyber-terrorist group called 'Ascension' could be behind it. Lex Luthor could also be involved (and Snyder writes a pretty great Lex), and then there's the biggy, the existence of another being, just as powerful as Superman who is working for the US Government and who stopped another Satellite from crashing. Who is this dude? We see in the opening scene that he was the cause of the A-Bomb explosion over Nagasaki in 1945, which is a very interesting divergence from real history. A lot of people seem to think it's another Kryptonian, maybe Zod, but my guess? Captain Atom. I know we've already seen him in the New 52, but time-travel is part of his origin anyway.
This was a strong start to this title, with a movie coming out, there needed to be a good Superman story out there, and this was that, and hey, it's a perfect introduction to the character for any new readers who stumble into comic shops after seeing Man Of Steel. This is the kind of Superman we should be getting, two of the industry's top creators, writing the top Superhero kicking some ass.
by Johnny Smith » Thu Jun 13, 2013 1:19 pmGreat start! Very enjoyable issue.
by Grayson » Thu Jun 13, 2013 2:27 pmI didn't hate it but I was a little underwhelmed by it. Unfortunately, I can't really pinpoint exactly what I didn't like about the issue except to say that it wasn't what I was expecting from a first issue. I'll give it a few more issues.
by Juan Cena » Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:42 pm
by Punchy » Thu Jun 13, 2013 3:46 pmAren't you a blogger?
I don't see why you're laughing.
by guitarsmashley » Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:49 pm
Because, alright there is no way I can say something without getting at least a warning. Just yeah he's terrible.
by Juan Cena » Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:21 pm
Blogs are some of the most "tabloidy" things out there.
by Punchy » Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:45 pm
Yeah, in the real world.
But one written by Clark Kent, award-winning investigative journalist and social crusader, wouldn't be.
by Juan Cena » Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:52 pm
He'll probably be crawling back to the Planet then. "Crusading Journalist" he may be. A businessman he is not.
by habitual » Thu Jun 13, 2013 5:57 pm
Do you really think that what you do isn't blogging?
by Punchy » Thu Jun 13, 2013 6:07 pm
Clark Kent doesn't need money! He doesn't need to eat. If he can't make the rent on a Metropolis apartment, he has a massive ice fortress or a JLA satellite to live in, he probably doesn't even need to sleep. He has no travel costs because he can fly anywhere in 10 seconds.
Clark's blog isn't there to make money, it's there to help the world, just like what he does as Superman.
You're just hating on New 52 Superman just for the sake of it now.

Just when I feel that summer is creeping to an end, when I feel the dreadful melancholy of winter approaching, I remember that August is still to come. August with its blackberries and its languid days and its burning sun. August with its memories of picking fruit on the canal banks with my gran, during summer holidays that I hoped would never end.
for Philip Hobsbaum
Late August, given heavy rain and sun
For a full week, the blackberries would ripen.
At first, just one, a glossy purple clot
Among others, red, green, hard as a knot.
You ate that first one and its flesh was sweet
Like thickened wine: summer's blood was in it
Leaving stains upon the tongue and lust for
Picking. Then red ones inked up and that hunger
Sent us out with milk cans, pea tins, jam-pots
Where briars scratched and wet grass bleached our boots.
Round hayfields, cornfields and potato-drills
We trekked and picked until the cans were full,
Until the tinkling bottom had been covered
With green ones, and on top big dark blobs burned
Like a plate of eyes. Our hands were peppered
With thorn pricks, our palms sticky as Bluebeard's.
We hoarded the fresh berries in the byre.
But when the bath was filled we found a fur,
A rat-grey fungus, glutting on our cache.
The juice was stinking too. Once off the bush
The fruit fermented, the sweet flesh would turn sour.
I always felt like crying. It wasn't fair
That all the lovely canfuls smelt of rot.
Each year I hoped they'd keep, knew they would not.

Blackberry picking

this is so sweetReplyDelete
lovely pairing of words and imagesReplyDelete
August is an amazing month. Warm, sunny, crisp, chilly, vibrant and radiating - all at once.ReplyDelete
I get the melancholy too though, but I do love every part of the fall. At least until the snow is coming down.
august is possibly my favorite month. although more for tomatoes than blackberries.ReplyDelete
I love that poem. Thank you for posting it today!ReplyDelete

Stylish Bassinets for Every Budget
Bassinets are mostly pooh-poohed by parents because babies outgrow them so fast. But I can think of at least a few scenarios that may warrant them: you don't have room for a crib when your baby first arrives, you want the baby in your room for the first few months but don't have room for a crib there, your baby shares a room with an older child and they need separate napping spaces. These are just a few. So, if you are in the market for a bassinet, here are some of your options in a range of prices.
How long a baby will use a bassinet depends on the child and the size of the bassinet (and when they begin rolling and pulling up). If I recall, we moved my son from a bassinet to a crib around 4 or 5 months (we had the Stokke Sleepi system which I wrote about here). Because of their limited longevity, bassinets are commonly found on Craigslist, reCrib, and garage sales. And ask around - your friends or neighbors may have one you can buy or borrow.
I've heard of parents who used the bassinet of a stroller as a nighttime bassinet and I know some parents who have used small travel beds in the early months. Of course, there is also the traditional Moses basket route.
Again, bassinets aren't for everyone, but they can be really nice to have in some circumstances. Did you have one?

Allah (God) has revealed that He will test people with difficulties in the life of this world. These adversities and difficulties may afflict Muslims as well as unbelievers. But while they turn into a kind of suffering for unbelievers they are all incomparable beauties for devout Muslims who know that Allah creates all things for the best. Each of them is a blessing in this world and the Hereafter, a valuable instrument for deepening their faith and an opportunity for them to strengthen their joy, enthusiasm and the love and bonds between them. In one verse, Allah reveals that deficiencies and difficulties may come to both deniers and Muslims, and that He "deals out such days to people turn by turn":
If you have received a wound, they have already received a similar wound. We deal out such days to people turn by turn, so that Allah will know those who believe and can gather martyrs from among you – Allah does not love wrongdoers. (Surah Al 'Imran, 140)
Being tested by difficulties is an important part of the life of a Muslim. Throughout the course of his life, our Prophet (saas) was subjected to a great many slanders, threatened with death and oppressed many times by the pagans of Mecca, and eventually abandoned all he owned and migrated to Medina together with his companions. The Prophet Abraham (pbuh) was cast into the flames, the Prophet Joseph (pbuh) was left in a remote well and then spent years in prison, the Prophet Moses (pbuh) was oppressed by Pharaoh and traps were set to kill the Prophet Jesus (pbuh), but Allah thwarted all these snares laid for His messengers and turned all difficulties into beauties for His righteous servants. He describes in the Qur'an in detail how the unbelievers will set various traps for Muslims, intended to inflict difficulties on them. In one verse He reveals:
When those who are unbelievers were plotting against you to imprison you or kill you or expel you: they were plotting and Allah was plotting, but Allah is the Best of Plotters. (Surat al-Anfal, 30)
Troubles and difficulties such as killing, wounding, arrest, exile or imprisonment may arise at any time in the life of a Muslim. But all these troubles and difficulties are events that take place with Allah's command, that work in Muslims' favor right from the beginning, and that have been thwarted in destiny beforehand right from the very outset. And they are all sources of joy for Muslims. It is revealed in one verse how Muslims reply to threats and intimidation:
Those to whom people said, "The people have gathered against you, so fear them." But that merely increased their faith and they said, "Allah is enough for us and the Best of Guardians." (Surah Al 'Imran, 173)
Allah's reward to these excellent moral virtues of Muslims is as follows:
So they returned with blessings and bounty from Allah and no evil touched them. They pursued the pleasure of Allah. Allah's favor is indeed immense. (Surah Al 'Imran, 174)
As revealed in these verses, Muslims' faith is strengthened and the joy of belief increases in the face of adversity. Unbelievers intend evil for believers but, contrary to their expectations, their plans are always auspicious for and work in believers' favor, being "blessings and bounty from Allah, and no evil touches them." This is one of Allah's manifestations of how the snares of the unbelievers will never succeed. Allah has revealed that it is the unbelievers themselves who will suffer the ultimate disappointment because of the traps they set:
They desired to trap him but We made them the losers. (Surat al-Anbiya', 70)2008-12-08 18:09:56

London, United K...
Another staple of my wardrobe, made with recycling. Pattern is a modification of my basic t-shirt pattern – slightly baggier, long sleeves, and a hood that is just two matching pieces stitched along a long curved side, then stitched to the collar in much the same way as a normal collar band. Two of them have screen prints, one has smaller pieces of patterned jersey basted to matching pieces of sweater fabric and stitched together. That one also has an asymmetric zip/ hood arrangement so the hood falls over one shoulder, 3/4 sleeves and strips that run all along the side and underarm from hem to cuff. Two of them have front pockets.
Material Notes
All are made from recycled clothes, mainly with thick jersey from tracksuits, with ribbing and other bits of jersey. Because of the felted/fleecy inside of tracksuit material, it's fairly easy to work with. It's not hard to find garments to cut ribbing off, but otherwise (as in the grey/red one, any stretchy jersey will suffice. Prints are hand screen-printed by me. Some more notes on my blog (see profile)

Indiana Securities Division Charges Stifel, Nicolaus & Company with Violations of the Indiana Securities Act in Connection with Auction Rate Securities Sales
October 1, 2009
Filing against St. Louis based securities broker-dealer announced in coordination with Colorado Division of Securities; $54 million of Indiana investments frozen
(Indianapolis) – Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita announced today that an investigation by his Indiana Securities Division resulted in the filing of an administrative complaint alleging securities fraud, failure to properly supervise and train sales people and unsuitability against securities broker-dealer Stifel, Nicolaus & Company. The complaint comes the same day similar action is being taken by the Colorado Division of Securities, alleges that Stifel, Nicolaus & Company failed to disclose risks associated with the sale of auction rate securities to Indiana investors.
"Today, we are holding Stifel, Nicolaus & Company accountable for putting Indiana investors at unnecessary risk," said Secretary Rokita. "This action sends a strong message that our state will not tolerate unethical and unlawful behavior and that my office will hold the securities industry accountable for any violations of the securities laws of Indiana."
Although marketed and sold to investors as safe, liquid and cash-like investments, auction rate securities are actually long-term investments subject to a complex auction process that collapsed in early 2008, leading to illiquidity – meaning investors could no longer access their invested funds. As a result of the failure of the auction rate securities market, $54 million invested by Indiana residents was frozen – the highest amount of illiquid auction rate securities funds purchased from Stifel, Nicolaus & Company of any state.
Also today, a similar complaint was filed against Stifel, Nicolaus & Company by investigators with the Colorado Division of Securities. The Indiana Securities Division and the Colorado Division of Securities worked together and within a multistate task force of state regulators formed by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) to develop evidence of the company's alleged securities violations.
"This case demonstrates the strengths of state securities regulators across our nation. We are quick to respond, innovative and aggressive," said Secretary Rokita. "At a time when Congress is considering how to reform the nation's financial services regulatory system, this case shows that investors deserve the continued strong protections provided by state securities regulators."
"We appreciate the hard work and dedication of the Colorado and Indiana securities divisions to ensure that investors harmed by auction rate securities are provided relief," said Denise Voigt Crawford, President of NASAA and Texas Securities Commissioner.
The Indiana complaint is filed with the Indiana Securities Commissioner and could result in a fine of $10,000 per violation of the Indiana Securities Act, in addition to restitution for the investors' funds frozen in the failed auction rate securities market.

Articles in the Straits Times 29 Sep 2007:
Forum : Govt Investments de-linked from CPF funds.
Insight Pg S10: CPF Returns : As good can get (1st para talks about Low Thia Khiang)
Insight Pg S11: CPF as Cheap Funds:"Wrong & plainly misleading".
Insight Pg S12: CPF Changes a fair deal so why the hesitation.
Now that is a alot of good explanation from our world class govt. I suggest you read, no study, each of these articles to get a good understanding of our govt thinking on retirement and the wonderful plan the PAP govt has for you for your retirement.
I've identified a number of important points in the articles for discussion.
Point 1 : The rate of 2.5/3.5% is risk free and guaranteed.
Well at first sight nobody can disagree with this statement. But think harder. ....
The govt has mandated that a large portion ($60K) of Singaporeans' CPF funds be set aside to earn a "risk free return of 3.5%". We are required by law to do this an have no choice....we are locked on to this strategy of earning a return on the bulk of our CPF for a period of 40 years ...now how is that for a strategy.
Such a strategy is sure to guarantee one thing for most people - insufficiency. I haven't found a single qualified investment advisor who will go tell a 25 year old to lock his savinsg up at a fixed deposit type of rate of 3.5% for 40 years for the purpose of retirement. In fact all other asset classes real estate, equities have always out performed this 3.5% rate over any 40 year period. Also, within a 40 year period we can expect periods of high inflation, the so-called risk free rate only guarantees that the buying power of the CPF money will be badly eroded.
So the basic strategy of locking up a minimum sum earning a rate similar to treasury bonds for 40 years is a risky one - it is vulnerable to inflation, guaranteed to underperform, guaranteed to be insufficient ...as a result we will see our retirement shifting and the quality of our retirement dropping under this strategy.
Simply google "retirement plan" to see what a plan should look like. or what watch Ben Stein's video on retirement here. Or read about Chile's pension plan for its citizens. ..or Calpers which hires professional managers to handle public servants money and they don't keep the returns for themselves but give it to the pensioners who need it.
Why is hiring a group of top professionals OR outsourcing to selected low cost asset management companies OR allowing investments in index linked ETFs/no load funds so unattainable? Just let the person choose whether he wants 3.5% or have his money managed for higher returns/risk. The fact that money is guaranteed at risk free 3.5% is meaningless because buying power of the money is not guaranteed. The best plan to preserve buying power has been to invest prudently.....why put millions of citizens on a plan that is not the best plan?
Why does the PAP mandate that we follow a plan that will not work properly? I think they want us to work longer and harder so we don't retire and become useless. It is for our own good to lead useful productive lives.
Point 2: GIC deserves its return of 9.8% for making risky investments.
CPF minimum sum is only allowed to have low returns whereas GIC deserves its higher return for making risky investments.
Again think hard.
GIC invest money of the citizens of Singapore, why is it allowed to take the type of risk that CPF holders cannot take for their minimum sum? You mean it is okay for GIC to lose citizens' money and but not okay for citizens lose their own CPF money?
Point 3: GIC can raise more cheaply by issuing treasury bills and govt securities...they don't need your money for "cheap" funds.
Singaporeans have their CPF locked up for about 40 yrs. Gee, I have never seen a 40-yr treasury bill before, I don't think any govt has issued one. Also, the withdrawal age can be changed, so its like a treasury bill with a shifting maturity. So far the Singapore govt has been able to issue small amounts of securities with 10 yr maturity at a lower rate than 2.5% however try borrowing $50B, the borrowing cost will go up. The articles actually suggest that CPF funds are "expensive" for the GIC.
Yes, the GIC does not need the "expensive" funds from CPF it has other cheap sources of funding. But somehow it doesn't tap the cheaper source of funding much preferring use the more "expensive" funding - you don't see the GIC rushing to the securities market for billions. If you're a competent fund manager and have 2 sources of funding one more expensive the other one cheaper - which would you choose?
Point 4 : 83% of CPF members who invested their OA savings in the CPFIS from 2002 to 20006 realised less than the 2.5% returns -the base rate of the OA. Half of all members who invested experienced experienced negative returns.....(forum article "Govt investments de-linked from CPF funds").
I was SHOCKED by this statement by the director from MoF....oh Singaporeans are such INCOMPETENT investors they should not be allowed to invest their own money!!!
Strangely, I was just sitting with a large group of people for lunch on Friday and everyone was talking about how well their investments which the made in the past few years did.
If you look at the STI Index, Global Indice, Regional Indices for Europe/US/Asia.... you cannot find a single day in 2002-2006 that youcan buy a unit trust linked to this hold it until today and not perform better than the 2.5% that CPF OA gives out! For example, look at the STI from 2002 until today:
...now tell me how can one return less than 2.5% when they invest between 2002-2006. If you pull out every single major equity index, they look similiar. You can buy on any one of well diversified unit trusts on any one of the 1500 trading days in 2002-2006 and beat the 2.5% given by the CPF.
So how did Singaporeans become so incompetent. Well, look at that statement again. ...it says "realised less than 2.5% returns", they probably only computed investments that were sold off during that period and does not included then majority of investments which are held on until today! Even for myself I've sold off 1 or 2 loss making investments during that period but those I've bought in 2002-2006 and held until today have double and this is not counted. ...so I'm one of the 83% of incompetent investors. This is a wonderful piece of data mining, we all should be thankful for because it helps us to feel so much better about the 2.5-3.5% we are getting on our CPF.
The 2.5/3.5% is a guarantee...a guarantee of insufficiency. This insufficiency is showing up in withdrawal age being pushed, a diminished quality of retirement ($200 per month) and extended working life. It is also guarantees underperformance compared with other asset diversified classes which outperform risk free assets with 100% certainty. Risk free rate is meaningless because it does not guarantee buying power - it is not peg to the rise in oil prices, rise in bus fares, rise in milk....etc.
It is a challenge the PAP put before us to retire on such a plan that no financial advisor will ever recommend for retirement. We should be thankful for such challenges as it is chance to strengthen our work ethics to the point we don't ever have to retire. Retirement is a awful thing anyway we lose the chance to contribute to Singapore Inc wasting our time instead on walks in the park and looking after our grand children.
The GIC does not need our CPF money for its investments. It is reluctantly using it as a form of service to Singaporeans and giving them this return that is "as good as it gets"....although they get better returns, we should begrudge that it is not returned to the CPF account holders. We do see a small fraction of it just before General Elections to encourage us to make the right decisions and keep the status quo. All this is done for our own good, we have to believe what is good for the PAP govt is also good for the people of Singapore.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A man from Aiken County is the first person to die with West Nile virus so far this year.
The Department of Health and Environmental Control said Monday that the man tested positive for the virus after he was hospitalized for a sudden high fever, confusion and headache.
Officials say the man was likely bitten by mosquitoes near his home. His name has not been released.
DHEC says West Nile has been detected in 17 people, three animals and 13 birds in South Carolina so far in 2012.
Mosquitoes get the virus from feeding on infected birds and then spread the virus to people they bite. People bitten by an infected mosquito may become sick up to two weeks later with flu-like symptoms like fever, headache and nausea.

UK Gov't Forces Guardian To 'Destroy' Hard Drives With Snowden Info; Guardian Says Reporting Continues From NY
from the freedom-of-the-press? dept
A little over two months ago I was contacted by a very senior government official claiming to represent the views of the prime minister. There followed two meetings in which he demanded the return or destruction of all the material we were working on. The tone was steely, if cordial, but there was an implicit threat that others within government and Whitehall favoured a far more draconian approach.Got that last bit? You've had your debate. There's no need to write any more. That's not just obnoxious but it shows the way the intelligence folks are dealing with these revelations: "okay, let some people talk about a little bit, and then shut them up and let's get back to the spying." From there, things got even worse, with the UK government basically telling The Guardian they had no choice but to "destroy" the documents:
The mood toughened just over a month ago, when I received a phone call from the centre of government telling me: "You've had your fun. Now we want the stuff back." There followed further meetings with shadowy Whitehall figures. The demand was the same: hand the Snowden material back or destroy it. I explained that we could not research and report on this subject if we complied with this request. The man from Whitehall looked mystified. "You've had your debate. There's no need to write any more."
During one of these meetings I asked directly whether the government would move to close down the Guardian's reporting through a legal route – by going to court to force the surrender of the material on which we were working. The official confirmed that, in the absence of handover or destruction, this was indeed the government's intention. Prior restraint, near impossible in the US, was now explicitly and imminently on the table in the UK.If anyone believes in freedom of the press, this should be incredibly important -- and the statements by the UK government should be offensive. The government flat out told the paper that it would basically shut down the publication if it didn't abide by the government's wishes to destroy key research for reporting and stop its continued efforts to report on these issues of immense importance to the public.
Of course, to anyone who's in touch with reality knows, banning the reporting of the subject in the UK is both stupid and meaningless. It's stupid because it's a "head in the sand" approach to things, which never works. Furthermore, it was only a matter of time until the details of this came out and the UK government was revealed for their thuggish police-state, free press-suppressing ways. And, it's meaningless because the world is global. The Guardian doesn't need to report on this stuff from the UK, especially since Greenwald is already based in Brazil.
I explained to the man from Whitehall about the nature of international collaborations and the way in which, these days, media organisations could take advantage of the most permissive legal environments. Bluntly, we did not have to do our reporting from London. Already most of the NSA stories were being reported and edited out of New York. And had it occurred to him that Greenwald lived in Brazil?But, no matter to the government spooks. They demanded a destroyed hard drive, so a destroyed hard drive is what they got:
The man was unmoved. And so one of the more bizarre moments in the Guardian's long history occurred – with two GCHQ security experts overseeing the destruction of hard drives in the Guardian's basement just to make sure there was nothing in the mangled bits of metal which could possibly be of any interest to passing Chinese agents. "We can call off the black helicopters," joked one as we swept up the remains of a MacBook Pro.Rusbridger notes that this was a particularly "pointless piece of symbolism that understood nothing about the digital age," but I'd go even further than that. The symbolism of brainless, impotent thuggery for the sake of pure bullying, rather than having any intended impact, says quite a lot about the UK government, the GCHQ, and how far behind the times they are. Rusbridger uses this horrifying story to note that the similar stealing of David Miranda's technology won't stop the reporting either -- but one hopes that it will lead people in the UK to rise up and speak out against such police-state intimidation tactics, and to demand serious reforms to protect basic freedoms and the value of investigative journalism.
