TheStreet, 2 Sep 2010Singapore's purchasing managers' index (PMI) came in weaker than expected in August at 49.4, vs. 52.2 in July, signaling contraction in the city-state's manufacturing sector. This will feed into worries that global growth is still slowing, even though the macroeconomic outlook for Asia remains the strongest among the emerging-market regions.The headline PMI fell below the 50
In the past, I was a weekly salon mani/pedi girl who insists on
only OPI products.
But recently, some things changed (for the good) and I just have to
share it…
My nails were brittle and have a tendency to chip at the sides
when it gets long,
especially my thumb (coz of intense BB-ing) and forefinger
nails.
Then Barf recommended me to try the GNC Fish oil which works like
magic!
I bought this via Drugstore.com which is cheaper than in SG,
and just 2 weeks into it, I can feel the difference in my nails. NO
MORE CHIPPING!
It also does ALOT more for overall health than just improve nail
condition.
My only gripe about it is fishy burp that makes me feel really
icky.
But the good condition of my nails had allowed me to grow them
out very nicely,
and I no longer find myself running off to the salon to fix my

The Belarussian 10th seed was trailing Argentine Gisela Dulko 5-1 at the time and was visibly struggling before her legs gave way.
国民团结党对人民行动党只对现有的战备军人表彰而对以往对我国国防和稳定做出贡献的老兵置之不理感到震惊。
行动党可以轻易地说这钱不太重要。但行动党并不了解如此刻意的把老兵之置于这奖励表彰制度之外已经伤了他们的感情，而这并是那$9000的奖励可弥补的伤害。
当总理宣布会对每一位战备军人付与$9000以表彰他们为国家的贡献时，很多新加坡人都为执政党能正视人们对国家的牺牲感到非常高兴。就算我们当中有一些会得到比较少的表扬金，我们也可理解这是政府对我们象征式的奖励。
然而，我们万万没想到行动党会把两三代的老兵给完全忽略掉！这批四十岁以上的男性公民肯定会对如此对待感到气愤。这是不是意味着当人们因老了而再也没有“利用价值”时，这国家就会遗弃他们，对他们以往的贡献完全置之不理吗？这也暴露了行动党那种以实用主义治国的冷酷无情。[...]
