Perry Engineering is committed to getting the project built safely, on time, and within budget. Our employees are our most valuable asset and we want to ensure they return safely home to their families each night. Doing something safely is recognized as an inseparable element of "doing it right" just as much as efficiency, quality, productivity, or any criteria of excellence.
Safety Culture
Safety begins with a commitment from top management and extends throughout the workforce. Top management is actively involved on our safety committee to ensure safety is priority one. Our field supervisors are held accountable for safety through inspections and performance reviews. We also require our subcontractors to uphold our high standards of safety.
Full Time Safety Director
Our full-time Certified Safety Professional leads our safety efforts, and is involved in the project from pre-bid to final completion. He provides program development, observation and inspection, analysis, recordkeeping, training, and serves as a liaison with various agencies, municipalities, owners and contractors.
His qualifications include:
– Bachelor of Science – Safety Engineering Technology
– Certified Safety Professional (CSP)
– Certified Safety & Health Manager (CSHM)
– American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) Professional Member
– OSHA 502 certified trainer for 10/30 hour Construction Safety Outreach
– VA State Corporation Commission Underground Utility Damage Prevention trainer
– ATSSA Traffic Control Design Specialist (TCDS)
– VDOT Basic/Intermediate Work Zone Traffic Control Training instructor and Flagger instructor
– US Army Corps of Engineers Construction Quality Management – Contractor (CQM-C)
– EPA AHERA Supervisor
– VA DMME General Mineral Miner Approved Instructor
– 25+ years of safety experience
Safety Committee
Our safety committee is comprised of corporate management, site supervision and hourly field employees. The committee meets at least monthly to discuss needs, concerns, suggestions and incidents.
Safety Training
Safety training begins with a new employee safety orientation structured around the employee's assigned duties. Safety training continues as the employee advances and acquires additional duties and responsibilities.
Our field supervisors have the following minimum training:
– 12 hours of Leadership training through Lord Fairfax Community College
– OSHA 30 hour Construction Safety Outreach
– First Aid & CPR
– Underground Utility Damage Prevention
– VDOT Intermediate Work Zone Traffic Control
– VDOT ESCCC erosion control
– VA DEQ Responsible Land Disturber
– VA General Mineral Miner (as required)
– MSHA miner (as required)
– PHMSA Operator Qualification (natural gas crews)
Safety training also includes weekly tailgate safety meetings and project safety meetings with field supervision and hourly employees at various points during the project.
Safety training begins with a new employee safety orientation structured around the employee's assigned duties. Safety training continues as the employee advances and acquires additional duties and responsibilities. 100% of our field employees have OSHA 10- or 30-hour Construction Safety Outreach training.
Safety Program and Site Specific Safety Plans
Perry Engineering's Safety Policy Manual addresses all topics required by federal OSHA and MSHA and state agencies such as VOSH and VDOT, as well as Company specific safety rules that go beyond merely complying with minimum safety requirements. Our Safety Policy Manual is not a dust collector on a shelf, but is an integral part of our daily operations.
We strictly enforce a written Substance Abuse Policy to help prevent drugs and alcohol from affecting employee safety. The SAP includes pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion testing for all employees.
Site safety includes a thorough safety review of the project scope of work. A site specific safety plan including an Activity Hazard Analysis is prepared for each phase of work so that we can address hazards before they result in a loss. Safety hazards are continually evaluated and controlled through weekly safety inspections by site supervision and monthly safety inspections by the Safety Director. Safety Kickoff meetings to review site specific safety issues are held with each crew and subcontractor for each new phase of work on a project.
Post-Incident Investigation
Should a safety related incident occur, an investigation is conducted to determine exactly what happened and what needs to be done to prevent it from reoccurring. The lessons learned from the investigation are communicated to all field supervision and hourly employees via meetings, training, and/or memos.
Safety Responsibilities
Safety is everyone's responsibility. In order to carry out our Safety Program, the following responsibilities are assigned.
Corporate Managers will:
- Establish responsibilities, procedures, and methods for adhering to the Company Safety Program and Site Specific Safety Plan.
- Provide each Supervisor with training, information and resources necessary to comply with all safety requirements as specified by the Company and by various governmental agencies.
- Assist in coordinating and developing site specific safety plans to comply with job requirements which may differ from our Corporate policy.
- Notify subcontractors of their responsibilities to comply with all safety regulations affecting their work.
- Develop enforcement guidelines to assure compliance with all safety rules, regulations, and procedures.
- Not compromise safety for production, scheduling, budget, or any other reason.
Site Supervisors will:
- Ensure that the Company Safety Program and Site Specific Safety Plan are carried out at the work level.
- Set the example for the workers under their control and promote safety as the primary objective in their work.
- Provide safety related training to new employees and as part of each new operation undertaken.
- Be familiar with safety laws, rules, and procedures and enforce compliance among the hourly employees.
- Ensure that subcontractors follow safety laws, rules, and procedures when performing their work.
- Communicate effectively to provide a safe work environment.
- Not compromise safety for production, scheduling, budget, or any other reason.
All workers will:
- Work according to good safety practices as outlined in the Company Safety Policy Manual and Site Specific Safety Plan.
- Promptly report unsafe conditions, safety concerns, and safety incidents to their immediate supervisor.
- Not compromise safety for production, scheduling, budget, or any other reason.
Any employee who sees an unsafe condition or unsafe practice is authorized to shut down the work until corrections are made.
Employee Safety Rewards
We reward employees for good safety performance. Those rewards include:
– A "Safety Hazard of the Month" suggestion program in which crews can submit suggestions on how to eliminate, reduce or improve a chosen safety hazard. The Safety Committee chooses the best suggestions to adopt as standard practice and awards the chosen crew (s) with a breakfast or lunch meal. Corporate management attends the meal which allows an informal opportunity for crew members to speak directly with corporate managers.
-For any site, crew, or individual employee that has participated in a federal or state agency (OSHA, VOSH, MSHA, VDOT, FMCSA Roadside, etc) safety inspection in which no violations were issued, a $25 award will be given to each participating employee.
-On a quarterly basis, each crew's safety performance is reviewed by the Safety Committee. This includes safety inspection results, training, safety record keeping, etc. The Safety Committee selects the Grading crew, Gas crew and Pipe crew with the best safety performance for the quarter and each crew member receives a $150 bonus. The crews that received the quarterly award are then eligible for the Safe Crew of the Year award which is a $250/person bonus and a custom company jacket. All award recipients also have their names posted in an advertisement in the Winchester Star newspaper. These awards recognize crews for doing proactive things to prevent injuries and incidents.
4 years and 1 million work hours with no lost workday injuries. Our workers comp EMR is 0.74. We have had no OSHA citations in the past 7 years and have had 7 inspections.
We have 0% FMCSA out-of-service rate.

The shipping industry is committed to further reducing its emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. Alternative fuels play a key role in achieving this goal. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) can serve as a transitional fuel towards low-emission shipping. This website monitors progress in the introduction of LNG to the markets of inland waterway transport and Wadden Sea navigation.
Upcoming Partner Events
LNG as a Future Ship Fuel
LNG is considered a promising transitional ship fuel because of environmental, technical and business economic considerations.
- Technical feasibility : LNG propulsion technology is ready for application and has successfully been deployed on inland vessels since 2011
- Environmental benefits: LNG causes substantially lower emissions of air pollutants, such as NO and particulate matters, than conventional diesel/marine gasoil.
- Business economic impacts: LNG could reduce operational fuel costs thanks to long-term price differences when compared to diesel.
The Introduction of LNG Technology
The uptake of LNG technology in inland and coastal navigation is a complex process. It requires actions in various fields – from development of regulations and standards to infrastructure establishment and building of new ships. In order for the market introduction to be successful, these mutually dependent actions need to go hand in hand.
However, due to a lack of information on the status of actions in the different fields, both public administrations and shipping industry face substantial uncertainties. As a result, investment decisions may be significantly delayed, slowing down the entire transition process.
Project Database and Map
The aim of the LNG Project Database and Map is to reduce uncertainty in the transition process by providing a comprehensive overview of all relevant activities along the LNG chain for inland navigation and Wadden Sea shipping in Europe. The map displays implementation projects, platform initiatives and funding programmes. In addition to this, the database also contains information on studies, standards and regulations.
By increasing planning reliability for public and private decision-makers, the database and map contribute to a smooth introduction of LNG as a ship fuel. They might be extended in the future to also cover other areas of shipping as well as other modes of transport.

The New York Jets have plenty of problems. Quarterback problems are at the forefront of those, but former league leading Jets running back Chris Johnson thinks he has the answer.
After back to back devastating defeats to Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, many so called experts have been calling for head coach Rex Ryan to change quarterbacks and make veteran Michael Vick the starter. But it's highly likely that Ryan will ever bite on that.
Johnson's view
So what do the Jets need to do to get better? Well, CJ believes they need to be running the ball more.
He admitted to the press this week that he thought himself and back-up tailback, Chris Ivory, would be getting more of the ball this season. At the moment they are both averaging around 10 to 12 carries a game each, with Johnson airing his frustration at those statistics this week.
"Of course we want to run the ball more times and get into where we run the ball 35, 40 times a game, and give us both the opportunity to get a chance to run the ball hard," Johnson told reporters this week via the New York Post.
"I know we both envisioned probably getting more carries, not just us both getting 10, 12 apiece. Probably more than that. A lot of times, you've got to go how the game goes, and we've been put in situations where we've had to throw the ball."

Ivory needs to start
But as much as Johnson wants to talk about the Jets running the ball more, it's easier said than done. What the Jets really need to be doing is running the ball more effectively, and specifically, CJ needs to run better.
I know what you're thinking, but the Jets ground game has impressed at times this season already. It has, but not enough.
Too much of the good ground work is coming from Ivory. He's supposed to be a back-up, but his 5.7 yards a carry stats suggest that he should take over more of Johnson's workload.
CJ's stats are pretty average so far this season with 3.7 yards a carry, and it would be best for the Jets to go with Ivory as their main back for the foreseeable future. The man just has more size and presence. The strength that he used to bulldoze Bears' defenders on Monday Night Football in the second half was the only good thing that the Jets did after the half-time break.
The sooner the Jets realize that Ivory is their best back the better off they will be.

It's four for the price of two today, here at song-poem central, and what's more, today's EP, on the tiny Brosh label, features four different singers, all but one from the Globe song-poem empire.
First up is frequently used Globe female vocalist Kris Arden, with a song not written by Smokey Robinson, nor sung by Mary Wells, yet still titled "My Guy". The backing track is Globe 101 - if not for the lyrics, I'm sure Sammy Marshall would have been singing this. But just listen to these lyrics - her guy sounds like a dreamboat; he's swell.
Speaking of Sammy Marshall, he's up next, with a number titled "Just a Few". This is also paint-by-numbers Globe stuff, and Sammy sounds (to me, anyway) pretty darned wistful, as if he believes the songwriter doesn't expect to win the girl. The ache in his voice here doesn't match the promise of the lyrics.
By the way, I'm going to make another file of this record tonight and see if it gets rid of some of the harshness of the sax portions (I didn't notice at the time of making this file that there was so much distortion, and the other tracks seem to be fine, so it might just be the track).
Best of the batch by a wide margin is "Makes My Heart Start Flopping Around", sung by everyone's favorite, The Mystery Girl. Here we have a swingin' little track, with a winning vocal, a nice band sound, and a lyric that, with a few improvements, could have sounded like someone's attempt at a hit record, at least during the late '50's (although I'm pretty sure this record is not from the late '50's). I could do without the honking sax, but that's a minor complaint - this is a fun song and record.
The final track, on the other hand, is as vapid as they come. It's called "I Love 'Em So", and it does NOT sound like it comes from the Globe world (so to speak). The lyrics here are literally as stupid as I've ever heard on a song-poem 45, and there are so few of them that some sections have to be repeated three times (almost everything is sung at least twice) in the 110 seconds it takes for the record to mercifully end. The bridge is especially inspired:
Nothing but girls
Lots of girls
Nothing but girls
I'm in a whirl
I don't believe I've come across the song stylings of Ronnie May before, and I'm not sure what casa-de-song-poems put this masterpiece together, but I'm sort of interested in hearing more.

Oklahoma's U.S. Rep. Dan Boren won't seek re-election in 2012
WASHINGTON — Rep. Dan Boren, the only Democrat in Oklahoma's seven-person congressional delegation, will not seek re-election in 2012, setting up what could be an intense partisan battle for a seat that spans much of eastern Oklahoma.
Boren, 37, made the announcement in his hometown of Muskogee, saying he would serve out the rest of his term.
Boren, who was first elected to the U.S. House in 2004, said in an interview that his decision was driven by the prospect of more "constant campaigning." The "slog," as he put it, almost led him to retire before the 2010 elections, and he decided months ago not to run for a fifth term.
With state Republicans looking to capture the only Democratic seat in the delegation, Boren said he knew he would have had a serious challenge next year.
"It wouldn't have been just a gimme election," he said. "But I'm confident we would have been successful. It would have just been the constant slog."
He said there was some sadness in his decision.
"I'm also very happy," he said. "I'm going to see my kids more."
Boren and his wife, Andrea, have two children: Janna Lou, who is 3, and Hunter, who is 8 months. Boren said he hadn't given much thought to what he will do when his term ends in early 2013, and that he hadn't ruled out running for office in the future.

- Video: DC Talk back: Rep. Dan Boren says he won't run for re-election (2011-06-07)
"I'm open to doing something in the public or private sector," said Boren, who served in the state House of Representatives before his election to Congress. "I want to live in Oklahoma."
Voters in the 2nd District — which, because of redistricting changes, will include all or part of 26 eastern Oklahoma counties — may have a lot of candidates to choose from next year.
Boren's predecessor in the 2nd District seat, Democrat Brad Carson, said Tuesday that he plans to run for the seat.
Carson, 44, of Claremore, is now a business and law professor at the University of Tulsa. Carson gave up the House seat in 2004 to run for the U.S. Senate, but lost to Republican Tom Coburn.
Former state Sen. Kenneth Corn, a Poteau Democrat who ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor last year, said he is very likely to run. State Rep. George Faught, R-Muskogee, is expected to launch an exploratory committee.
Creating opportunity
Matt Pinnell, chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party, said Boren's announcement creates an opportunity for conservatives to "elect a Republican who will go to Washington and vote the Oklahoma way, not the Obama way."
Boren, a conservative Democrat who has often been at odds with the majority of House Democrats and with President Barack Obama, had his toughest re-election fight in 2010, winning with 57 percent of the vote as the district rebelled against Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi; Boren had topped 70 percent in 2006 and 2008.
He spent $1.8 million in the last election cycle to win re-election against unknown Republican Charles Thompson, who spent less than $50,000.
Boren is a leader of the Blue Dog Coalition, a group of moderate and conservative Democrats whose ranks were cut nearly in half in the 2010 elections, when Republicans regained control of the House. Boren said shortly after the elections that he wouldn't support Pelosi as minority leader, and he voted against her.
Boren never officially endorsed Obama, who lost every county in Oklahoma in 2008, and he strongly opposed some of the president's biggest priorities, including health care reform and cap-and-trade legislation. He did support the stimulus bill.
But even a district thought to be safe for Democrats — it includes most of what used to be known as Little Dixie, the Democratic stronghold in the state — has proved to be challenging as Oklahoma grows more conservative.
Obama praised Boren's service on Tuesday, saying he had "exemplified a commitment to creating jobs and economic opportunity for his constituents and rural communities, all the while continuing his family's long line of public service and dedication to the state of Oklahoma."
The affable and mild-mannered Boren is the son of University of Oklahoma President David Boren, who is a former U.S. senator and Oklahoma governor; Boren's grandfather, the late Lyle Boren, served in the U.S. House from 1937-47.
Boren's legacy
In Congress, Boren has focused on national security, tribal and energy issues. An avid sportsman and a member of the National Rifle Association board, Boren has also been a strong proponent of gun rights.
The National Republican Congressional Committee announced that it would target Boren's seat in the last election, but never followed through with any major effort to defeat him. Republicans are expected to make a strong push to win the seat next year.
Paul Lindsay, a spokesman for the GOP congressional committee, said Tuesday, "Dan Boren is the last of a dying breed of Democrats who are no longer welcome in a party driven by the job-destroying agenda of President Obama and Nancy Pelosi."

How to sell your house quicker!
The do's and don'ts of selling your house
Spring is a key time in the housing market as demand usually outstrips supply, helping prices to reach their optimum levels. So if you're thinking of making a move, here's our guide to selling your property as quickly and painlessly as possible
DO: Consider your target market
Think: Who might buy this property? Then tailor your space to appeal to the main type without alienating anyone else that could be interested. So if you feel it would be most suited to a professional couple, ensure there is somewhere that could be considered a 'workstation' within the house. If you think it's more suited to a family you could create a play space or room.
DON'T: Forget the clutter
Put things you don't use on a daily basis in storage. Make rooms feel much bigger by putting large pieces of furniture away too. Get rid of coats in the hallway, products in the bathroom, ornaments and photos in the living room and posters in kids' bedrooms – this way, potential buyers will be able to imagine themselves living in your house…
DO: Freshen up
A fresh coat of paint, new grouting or new kitchen doors can really smarten up a tired-looking property. If you'd rather not re-decorate, make sure the house is spotless. If you can manage it, have the carpets, sofa covers, oven and windows cleaned. Make sure the kitchen and bathroom look hygienic – a new loo seat is a great investment, as are fresh white towels and a well-placed plant or two.
DON'T: Just go for the estate agent with the highest valuation
Try to get more than one agent round to value your property but don't necessarily go for the one with the highest valuation – this is an old trick used to win instructions. Many agents will also often try to tie you into a 12-week exclusive contract – negotiate the minimum time possible so that if you are not happy with the service, you can change or go multi-agency. However, it's cheaper to sell sole agency rather than multi, so if possible stay with one agent for the first four weeks, giving them the best chance and motivation to sell your property fast. Always try to negotiate on fees and ensure you have the final amount agreed in writing.
DO: Get the word out
Always say yes to having a board up and tell your neighbours, friends and even the local butcher – word of mouth is a powerful tool. You never know, there might be someone living just round the corner waiting for your house to come on the market.
DON'T: Give too much information
Most people these days have the agent do the viewings, but if you prefer to show your property yourself, have a plan of action. Decide what order you will show the rooms, and guide viewers around the property once, showing the best rooms first or last. Don't overload them with detail, such as the depth of the bath or the trouble with next door's kids. But do feel free to highlight the odd positive point, like a south-facing garden.
DONT: Necessarily go with the highest bidder
The person who offers the highest price is not always the best choice. Listen to your agent's advice on buyers and push to find out as much about the buyers' circumstances as possible. Cash buyers are best, but if they are raising a mortgage you can ask to see a mortgage 'in principle' letter from their lender. First-time buyers may need some handholding by the agent. If they have something to sell, then it should be under offer before you take your property off the market. Also, find out about any forward chains that could complicate agreeing completion dates further down the line.
DO: Communicate!
Once you've accepted an offer, do all you can to facilitate the exchange of contracts. The longer it takes to reach this, the higher the chances of the deal falling through or of the buyer gazundering (i.e. dropping their price). Keep in weekly contact with your solicitor to find out where the conveyancing is at and agent to ensure the buyer is still highly motivated in relation to the sale.

1. Consciousness of ordinary man.
2. Awareness of what is called as "Astral" in the West.
3. Awareness of Mind (roughly speaking, it is also had a crude name "Mental" in the West).
4. Awareness on Procreation Level.
Third state of awareness has such perks as recognizing the fact that thoughts don't actually belong to you, it is illusion, you are just bystander, while thoughts are forming on their own. Most people are heavily deluded thinking that they think. Thoughts formed as Primal Words from Primal Sound. Then Primal Thoughts go through Primal Word state to Pure Energy, which forms "Astral" (perceivable in 2nd State), and condensated, I'd say - Highly Darkened and heavily Obscured, Form of that "Astral" is Matter (perceivable by 1st state, the lowest of 4).
4th State of Awareness is the most clean state of existence, recognition of Ultimate Reality, the other 3 states are like 3 Veils of Obscuration of Primal State. In this Dark Epoch most people are totally blind, so they can only perceive Matter and produce malefic enthrophic emanations into higher spheres, basically marking this world as what can be named as highest Hell Sphere (there are also Lower Spheres, even more Darkened than this world). Current people have only slight glimpses of 2nd state of awareness in the dreams, but even that is a luxury for most people.

Information Commissioner reviews
The review process is designed to be as informal as possible and is conducted by staff of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). There are a number of stages to an Information Commissioner review (IC review). These are at the discretion of the Information Commissioner, the Freedom of Information Commissioner (FOI Commissioner) or the Privacy Commissioner and staff. Only the Information Commissioner, the FOI Commissioner or the Privacy Commissioner can make a decision at the end of the review.
Stage 1 — Registration
Your review application is registered and an early assessment made to ensure it includes all key information to be a valid review. This includes:
- your contact details
- the FOI decision letter for review
- your reasons why you think the decision is wrong.
A letter acknowledging the receipt of your matter will be sent to you. The Minister or agency whose decision you want reviewed is notified of your application.
A staff member may record a suggested approach to the application during this stage to assist the investigating case officer.
Stage 2 — Preliminary inquiries
A case officer is assigned to your application. They will advise you and the Minister or agency (the parties to the review) that they are handling the application and provide you with their contact details.
Due to the OAIC currently processing a large number of complaints and applications for review there may be a delay in your matter being allocated to a case officer.
The case officer may make preliminary inquiries of the parties to help in determining whether to undertake a review. This includes determining if the review decision falls within the Information Commissioner's jurisdiction or if the Information Commissioner will exercise the discretion not to undertake a review under s 54W of the FOI Act. The main reason why the Information Commissioner decides not to undertake an IC review, or not to continue to undertake an IC review, under s 54W is that the application is lacking in substance. For this reason it is important your submissions clearly set out why you believe the decision is wrong.
Stage 3 — Review
If the application is assessed as containing valid reasons for review, such as why the application of exemptions to edit information prior to release is incorrect, the case officer will progress the application to investigation.
The case officer assigned to your matter may contact you or any of the other parties to clarify matters addressed in the application or seek more information. OAIC Staff may also ask the agency or minister to provide reasons for their decision if the reasons given were inadequate.
To help resolve applications promptly, the OAIC may use alternative dispute resolution methods or any other appropriate technique. Alternative dispute resolution methods can clarify at an early stage the issues to be resolved or the information to be provided by either party in support of their claims or submissions.
Stage 4 — Decision
The Information Commissioner, the FOI Commissioner or the Privacy Commissioner will review the information provided by the parties during the previous stages and may make further inquiries prior to making a decision.
Once a decision is made by a Commissioner the parties to the review are notified and the decision is published on the internet. Previous decisions can be viewed on the IC reviews page.
The OAIC has a large number of matters currently awaiting decision. It may be some time before a decision is made and we appreciate your patience throughout this process. We endeavour to progress decisions as quickly as possible.
Further information on the review process undertaken by the Information Commissioner is available in the Guidelines issued under section 93A of the Freedom of Information Act 1982, specifically Part 10 — Review by the Information Commissioner.

I love the food in Singapore – all different varieties really. I love the diversity of options you can find; I love the quality, and how there is always something new and exciting opening up. However, every once in a while as an American living in Singapore, crave a meaty, hearty, familiar taste of America.
Over the years I have spent a lot of time scouring the island for the 'best of' when it comes to American-style food. So let your resident American contributor take you on a regional tour of America and tell you exactly where you can get your fix around Singapore.
The Midwest region is primarily known for one thing – beef. The region really knows how to grill burgers and cook BBQ.
MeatSmith hits all the markers for me in a great BBQ joint – authentic smokers, a spicy sauce and thick juicy brisket. Although it is a touch on the high-end spectrum as compared to the standard dodgy American BBQ joint, the taste, ambiance and pickle-back whiskey shots make it pretty darn authentic in my book.
Smokey's is the place to go to kick back and relax, get your hands dirty and have a down-home BBQ dinner. Smokey's puts forth a lot of effort to make their BBQ taste as authentic as they can – they even import the wood chips used to smoke the meat from the USA. The portions are also American-sized (meaning large) so you will get your moneys worth.
Market Grill has more than just beef on the menu and just about everything on it is stellar. I enjoy how Market Grill provides an unpretentious vibe with a variety of hearty, well executed comfort foods. The steak is just as good as the lobster and the service is always friendly. A perfect spot if you are unsure of exactly what you are craving.
Read more from our The Market Grill review.
I don't want to insert myself into the great Singapore chicken wings debate, but I have heard from people around town that MEATliquor offers up some excellent wings (Yes, Seth confirms it). What's better than a big greasy American-styled burger with a side of wings and fries? Maybe throw in some fried pickles for good measure. The hearty, sinful food at MEATliquor will surly put a huge smile on your face.
Read more from our MEATliquor review.
I included Roosevelt's in the Midwestern region for its yummy babyback ribs, juicy burgers and casual All-American diner-style menu. Roosevelt's offers a large variety of comfort foods including all day breakfast and sweet milkshakes set within a charming laid-back setting – enjoyable morning or night.
You can read more about it in our Roosevelt's review.
Moving onto the Northeast region, you find the seafood capital of the country. This area knows how to handle its oysters and lobster.
Luke's Chophouse is one of the overall best and most authentic American dining experiences I have had in Singapore. The oysters are flown in direct from Massachusetts and the meat dishes are equally as impressive. While Luke's is rather pricy, it's always on my list of places to dine for a special occasion.
The lobsters at Pince & Pints arrive fresh from Maine to Singapore two to three times per week. While the whole lobster dishes and tasty, Pince & Pints really nails the classic taste of the lobster roll – a Northeastern delicacy. The crispy, golden fries are an added bonus.
You can read more from our Pince & Pints review.
While RedBank is pretty new to Singapore, I was impressed with their offering of unique Northeastern menu items such as fried oyster biscuits, crab cakes, hush puppies and lobster tails. The homemade dipping sauces give their dishes an extra kick of deliciousness.
Read more about our Redbank review here.
New York bagels and bloody mary's, yes please! Not sure what is more Northeastern than that. The brunch at Manhattan in the Regent hotel will cure many of your New York City cravings.
Read more from our Manhattan brunch review.
Traveling to the southern part of the United States one will find some of the best fried chicken, BBQ and overall classic, comfort dishes. Travel even further south and you will find yourself indulging in the unique flavors of Cajun country.
The Beast, as far as I know, is the only true Southern restaurant in Singapore. I like to come here for the rustic vibe, extensive Bourbon selection and the chicken and waffles, of course. The chicken fried steak is another classic Southern dish not to be missed.
Carb in da Bag is part American cuisine part Asian, but it's the most authentic Southern, Louisiana-syle Cajun experience offered in Singapore. Dining on huge pots of freshly steamed crustaceans on paper-lined family style tables is representative of the classic crawfish boil.
Over to West, many of the costal states are very health conscious and enjoy the perks of a Mediterranean climate and extended growing season. There is an increasing trend of farm to table establishments and a more sustainable way of living.
Need a break from all that yummy BBQ and fried foods? Call up Grain to get fresh salads and grilled dishes delivered to your home or office. Natural ingredients and small batch preparation ensure its health and freshness to the best of their availability. Grain is a health food delivery that serves lunch island-wide, but do not have a physical restaurant in case you guys are wondering.

Death Certificates
A Certified Death Certificate is necessary before anything can be done. In Connecticut, death certificates are issued from the Town Clerk or Office of Vital Statistics (in larger cities) in the town where the death occurred. For your convenience, certified copies can also be obtained through the funeral home. The current cost for certified copies in Connecticut is $20 each. The first certified copy for a deceased veterans is provided at no cost.
It is a good idea to obtain multiple copies of a death certificate as most agencies require a certified certificate and not a photocopy.

Of course, cardinals are a favorite of mine. And the image of the mockingbird is wonderful. But I must be honest, I will have to go out on Google and look up pokeberry bush now. [did I spell that right?]

Hello!:) Brilliant capture of the Snowberry Clearwing, I think it must be a moth, but I have never heard of it. Love your Mockingbird image, and the tiny image of the Cardinal amongst the fallen leaves. Leaves are falling here too, and I love to see the Samara's spinning jenny's fall.

So if you aren't actually any good at IT then here is how to bluff your way using the Mao guide to IT. This applies to Architects, Managers, Vendors and even developers who just don't feel they have the talent to get anywhere
A powerful, mendacious slogan
For Mao it was "Serve the People", given that he "... lived like an emperor, carried on litters by peasants, surrounded by concubines and placated by everyone. this really was an impressive slogan. The point here is that the slogan is an outright lie, but its an outright lie that is talked about honestly and with conviction but doesn't bear any relationship to reality.
In IT things like "Business Focused", "Customer Service" and "Delivering value" can be used to mask what is essentially a continual drive to use new technologies and to avoid talking to the business or customers if at all possible. In fact its a case of business as usual with everything being now justified as "required" by the over arching vision.
Ummm looking at all those vendor slogans makes me think that Chairman Mao's PR department is alive and well in IT. Huge massive friendly slogans backed by software that makes you cry and costs a fortune.
Ruthless media manipulation
Have posters printed, set up a web page, have an award in fact do anything that makes it look like you are doing this while in fact doing nothing of the sort. This tends to be a real management favourite, a new initiative, a new name and the same old behaviours and thinking. A big internal email campaign, possibly even some external press and most of all controlling all of the communication that goes between IT and the business.
Ever had a manager tell you "you can't talk to the business"? Or how about "tell me what you want and I'll find out" and then become convinced that they haven't talked to the business at all? What about architects who claim to "understand the business" and therefore don't let anyone else go direct?
Other bits here are in the creation of fake statistics and successes is another area here. The classic "well it was fine when I left it" and claiming improvements in areas where there aren't any metrics being formally gathered. This is where people claim "we've improved quality/productivity/time to market by X%" when all the evidence seems to show that in fact its got worse. The key is that the person manipulating and broadcasting the stats is the person responsible for them.
In IT departments the media manipulation tends to be internal rather than with the press but its the continual planting of stories and broadcasting of success (and others failures). A few other good ones here are where a project fails but its "all the fault of the vendor" or where a technology turns out to be rubbish and that is "down to the implementation team" the key is spinning and there are lots of people in IT who seem to think that spinning is as important as delivering.
Vendors are truly the best at this in terms of their external marketing. The product might be a bug-riddled piece of crap that won't even install from the CDs but thanks to some smart marketing, demoware and presentations its lauded as being a market leader.
Sacrifice of friends and colleagues
Now here is where IT often moves away from Mao in that I tend to see Cabals and cliques being the dominant factor with competing groups battling for supremacy. But then again isn't this exactly what Mao was about? Basically using different groups within the organisation as the scapegoats? Project fails because in reality the architecture was completely rubbish? Blame the project manager, the development team or India but never, ever allow people to point out that the architecture was unimplementable.
This is something I see over and over again as IT projects fail. The finger pointing starts and the "winner" is the one who gets the least blame and places the most blame elsewhere. Again this isn't actually about reality its about using other people to take the fall for you so you don't have to admit to failure yourself.
With Vendors I guess this would be how they stab each other in the back, but I'm not sure its as good an analogy.
Activity substituting for achievement
Now this is the area where IT, and in particular Architects, come into their own. Those constant internal meetings, those document reviews and those endless process improvement efforts that never improve anything. Its hard to imagine a group of people who create more noise for little achievement that those found in IT. In 2007 I saw people proudly demonstrate how they could use WSDLs in their tools... 2007? That was done in 2001. There are all the various frameworks out there, something IT developer love to do. Don't develop the solution, develop a framework and never get around to the solution.
With vendors this is all about adding new bells and whistles to the products, and to be fair to the vendors this is what the Chairman Mao impersonators in corporate IT and the blog world are asking them to do. Its not about making it better its more like "Pimp my product" with lots of new bling being added on to the same old crap in the mistaken belief that this actually makes it better.
Part of the problem is that the talent gap in IT is ridiculously huge. There really are a huge number of people who are, when all is said and done, just bluffing at their jobs and who follow (unknowingly) Mao's plans for success on a daily basis.
IT and Chairman Mao, maybe the required reading shouldn't be The Mythical Man Month but the mass murders' Little Red Book.

It was clear to me that I was a podcast enthusiast when a musician friend of mine asked me what was listening to. I popped the white buds out of my ears and slouched in my chair. Pure bliss and concentration had just been painted on my face. "Um, I'm listening to a story about bats." My eyes darted to the corner of the room and the words NERD ALERT shouted inside my head.
"Oh, that's cool," he replied. NERD ALERT! He should have just said it, pushed me in my face, and ran away repeating the torment all the way down the hall. My shoulders slumped, but he continued, "Bats are so interesting! I didn't realize until this year that they are mammals."
A smile spread across my face as it became apparent that he was a kindred spirit. I began explaining the current plight of bats: White-Nose Syndrome.
This interaction happened years ago, and if I am remembering correctly, I was listening to an episode of The Naked Scientists. This program is out of the University of Cambridge and employs impressive interviews, lovely accents, a user-friendly website, and straight up knowledge.
I won't waste your time using a gross amount of superlatives to highlight the interviews on The Naked Scientists. Instead, I'll direct you to their Interviews page. Seriously, take a look. LOTS GOING ON THERE. There are tons of conversations with experts. I will suggest listening to or reading the interview with Steve Simpson, a Fish Ecologist from Bristol University. I still recall the sound of a coral reef!
I also won't waste your time talking about their lovely accents. Yes, they're lovely. They're from the UK. Sometimes when I've been on a binge of this show, their accent slips out, making me sound
incorrigibly pretentious. (Just add a British accent to "incorrigibly pretentious." Fun, isn't it?) Additionally, their program Ask the Naked Scientists is recorded from a live South African radio station. I am still learning to interpret each caller. Although I understand a person's accent has nothing to do with their ability to convey science, it makes me feel semi-exotic and I enjoy piecing apart those whose accents are particularly rich.
Now, addressing their website. It has taken me way too long to write this post because I keep getting distracted on their site. I am inspired by their Kitchen Science tab and am delighted to see book reviews. Their website also has links to their numerous programs. I am most familiar with The Naked Scientists and Ask the Naked Scientists but they have Archeology, Engineering, Astronomy, AND MORE.
Finally, I love the empire that has become The Naked Scientists because of their straight up knowledge. Aside from their puns about naked science (keeping you abreast, stripping down science, and such), the hosts continually bring fantastic science to the table in a wide array of topics. This podcast is rife with knowledge bombs waiting for you to disarm them, and I consider it a crime to hold you here any longer.

Monalisa Shocking Revelations: Monalisa, who survived for 14 weeks on Bigg Boss, recently got evicted. She was not very happy during the season as lot of things has been happening in her outside life. Increasing differences between Monalisa and her longtime boyfriend, Manu Punjabi's fiance calling her desperate. Rumors has stopped after her boyfriend Vikrant Singh Rajpoot proposed her and actually got married on the show. She kept mum for whole season but, post eviction- she has broken her silence.
Monalisa Shocking Revelations: Let's see What Mona Has To Say About the Contestants!
Mona on fake marriage !!
She said, "I could have never imagined that my boyfriend would propose me on Bigg Boss and it was a complete surprise. Marriage is a pure thing and getting married is the best feeling in the world. So, I can never think of faking it. But when people say things like Mona has done it for TRPs, it hurts. Vikrant and I are not such people, who would indulge in these things for the sake of it."
Vikrant's issue with Mona's closeness with Manu Punjabi!
"It used to bother me when audience linked me and Manu other than best friends because we have always shared a genuine friendship. We all know people used to roam around in pairs only, so, will they say those equations were also something else?" She further added," If my friendship is questionable, so are the others."
Who deserves to be Bigg Boss 10 Winner
She said, " All the five contestants are well deserving but, I know Manu and Manveer more than anybody else. So, I know they are not faking anything, they are the open book. And I genuinely want one of them to win it and would be very happy to see them holding the trophy."
And how difficult it was to Survive in Bigg Boss 10 house
"The biggest task on the show is to pass time. You have no family or friends and nothing to do. I didn't understand how it is for others, may be they knew the format and smart enough to implement it. I am not cut out for shouting, screaming and bitching, which used to happen in the house. To me it feels like an achievement because I've never thought I would come this far.

Ergonomic computer chairs provide suitable support to the lower back and the upper neck, which is vital for frequent computer users to avoid back pains and other related ailments. Adjustable ergonomic computer chairs also help to achieve an optimum degree of vision slant between the computer screen and the eyes. The armrest in an ergonomic chair provides arms with adequate support, thus reducing strain on the arms.
Most people prefer high backed ergonomic seating because of the extra support offered to the neck and shoulders although you can choose a knee chair that is made non-traditionally and allows users to rest their body weight on their knees as their body tilts slightly forward. This provides complete alignment of the spine while performing office tasks. Knee chairs are also adjustable and conform to each user. Adjustable design is the number one element that sets ergonomically built office chairs apart from any other type.

Today's official statistics reveal that excess winter deaths rose by almost a third in 2012/13 compared with the previous winter, while the UK's biggest energy giants enjoyed a huge surge in profits.
The charity Age UK describes the 31,100 winter deaths as 'shameful' and 'preventable' and wants the Coalition Government to take action on energy bills so that the most vulnerable can keep themselves warm in winter.

Steve Booton, Weoley Labour candidate, has been speaking to the residents of Weoley and week in, week out they have been telling him that they are bearing the brunt of the Tory-led Coalition cuts.
Steve said, "During our street canvass last Saturday, we spoke to a disabled women who cares for her mother. She has had her disability benefit stopped while she waits for yet another Atos assessment and may face a further reduction in benefit if she has to pay the Bedroom Tax.
"On top of this, the average energy bill rose by £168 in 2012. The public are already struggling and the Big Six energy companies are bleeding them dry.
"The Tory claim that 'We're all in this together' has proven cold comfort for the tens of thousands of people who were last year's victims of the rising cost of keeping warm."
If you have any issues you would like us to help you with or you want to meet Steve and the Weoley Labour team, you can contact us as follows:
- call Steve on 07830 945754
- come and sign our petition to freeze energy bills at our street stall on Saturday at 12 noon outside the Co-op on Weoley Castle Square

2016 was a crazy, wonderful, and nerve-wracking year for me. I spent the first half in San Diego in a traditional corporate job and the second half on the road in Latin America, sleeping in bunk beds, hammocks, and tents. While some experiences challenged me or left me heartbroken, I'm still grateful for everything that put me on the path that I'm on today. I've gone from obsessive planner to part wandering soul, and who knows what I'll embrace tomorrow.
As another year wraps up and we all look forward to 2017, there are many things I want to remember and express my gratitude for. It wasn't the easiest or most conventional year, but it was eye-opening and I've never felt more alive. Living each day with the certainty of uncertainty is something that I've started to embrace.
2016 was the year of…
Beach bonfires and burned pages
Sisterhood and shenanigans
New roommates, new friends, new 'hoods
Exploring 4 countries with me, myself, and I (and a backpack!)
Public buses, police cars, metros, speed boats, cargo ships, truck beds, cattle cars, motorcycles, rickshaws
Disconnecting from wifi and finding peace in the jungle
Fierce tropical storms and floods
Catching Caribbean sunrises
Walking everywhere (everywhere)
Global friendships
Hablando en español
Fine Kiwi company
Strange new words like togs and jandals
Playing 26…or 33
Expressing myself
Learning to trust my intuition
Defying expectations
Doing what I want, when I want
Embracing change
Finding courage
Facing fears
Saying goodbye
As I sit here writing this blog post from Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, I am filled with gratitude. I am grateful for the ability to follow my heart and for the freedom that comes along with it. I cannot even begin to anticipate what 2017 has in store, but as long as I continue to trust in myself, I know that everything will more than work out. We all just want to be happy, right?
Happy New Year to you, wherever you may be in life right now.
Don't forget to enjoy the journey!

BANGKOK, Feb 1: Thailand will go to polls tomorrow amid a standoff between embattled premier Yingluck Shinawatra and opposition-backed anti-Government protesters who have vowed to disrupt the elections.
More than 93,000 polling stations will be set up across the country for the polls and over 2,00,000 police personnel would be deployed. A total of 49 million voters are eligible to exercise their franchise.
The main opposition Democrat Party is boycotting the controversial elections, with its leader Abhisit Vejjajiva saying that he will not vote.
Amid rising concerns over clashes and violence, authorities have decided to provide extra security cover to certain Government figures, including caretaker prime minister Yingluck and some important politicians.
Ballot boxes have so far not reached local election offices in many areas, particularly in the country's south, an opposition stronghold, due to a blockade by protesters.
There is also a severe shortage of officials to man polling stations after many of them resigned.
Protesters have vowed to disrupt voting and block all roads leading to polling stations across the capital tomorrow, raising doubts over the legitimacy of the snap polls called by Yingluck in a bid to calm months of street rallies, sometimes violent.
A 60-day emergency that was imposed last week in Bangkok and some surrounding areas in an attempt to tackle protesters is still in force.
The Civil Court yesterday refused to issue an injunction to suspend the state of emergency in Bangkok and neighbouring provinces, pending a judicial review of the case against the Government's imposition of the emergency decree.
The court reasoned that the situation did not warrant an injunction as requested by Thaworn Senneam, a leader of the anti-Government People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC).
Election Commissioner Somchai Srisuthiy-akorn has advised election officials to end voting at polling stations if there is a risk of violence.
Voting will be held again for eligible voters who fail to exercise their right if polling stations are closed prematurely, he said.
Protesters have been holding rallies across Bangkok and have blocked major intersections for the past two months calling for Yingluck's Government to quit, an unelected people's Council to be formed and the polls to be scrapped.
However, Premier Yingluck has held her ground and decided to go ahead with the elections. (PTI)
