 Welcome to MANSA!

When the newly elected members of the Executive Committee requested me to be the President, I was very reluctant as I was conscious of my limitations, some of which are not known to others. But, I do know that these would come in the way of my being able to discharge my duties effectively, as I was aware of the fact that the work of MANSA President is one of dynamic activity, if one has to do justice to the confidence reposed by the Members

More importantly, the reason I was hesitant was because I was skeptical on being able to motivate our E.C. Members, Past Presidents and the Luminaries of our Industry and Members to actively participate in the common interests of our Association

The last one year has been a revelation to me. Not only have the E.C. Members been far more active than I can remember (I should know as I have been an E.C. Member for more than 20 years), the Past Presidents have responded to calls without any hesitation. It was heartening to see the willing support and enthusiasm of our Luminaries when we called on them for advice on the future course of action.

The Secretariat has been keeping you updated with circulars and notices on the day to day developments taken up and reported by our vigilant and active sub-committees. A topic wise list of circulars is available on our website for easy reference.

I will not comment too much on the Economic Scenario as it has become a guessing game. Imports, especially raw materials, have increased substantially. However, there has been a sharp decline in the exports from India.

There is a strong indication that International Trade is going to double in the year 2011/2012 and that is why the Government is keen on doubling the Port capacities by 2012!!!! We will discuss more on this later.

There have been several developments taking place during the last one year and MANSA has actively participated in all of them to ensure that Members' interests are protected.

The Shipping Trade Practices Bill:

It was observed that the contents of the Draft posed too many conflicts and contradictions. There was confusion over the jurisdictional propriety of the STP Act, tantamounting to running a parallel Act viz-a-viz MMTG Act/COGSA/Bill of Lading Act etc. The various Stakeholders have provided detailed comments. However, it was seen that their inputs were not taken into account while drafting the said STP Act. As per MANSA, the Draft violates several constitutional principles. It was felt that Draft is one sided and it addresses only to Service Providers where as the responsibility of the Users was not addressed at all. It was further found that the Draft was not a perfect document and therefore Govt. needed to have a re-look at the various provisions made therein and decide if at all such an STP Act needs to be promulgated when there are many controlling Acts like MMTG Act, MPT Act, BL Act, Customs Act, Light Dues Act, Ports Act added with controls from DG Shipping, Custom & Port Trust etc. The Govt. itself had observed that the Legislation should intend to avoid “Unintended deleterious consequences”. The new Law should support and enhance the smooth running of the shipping economic activities and should not cause hindrance thereat.

The dormant issue of the Draft STP Act (Proposed) which was lying in the cold storage till 2009 was brought up by the MoC/Govt., by issuing a Public Notice (PN) calling for the comments on the proposed amendments from the public and all the Stakeholders.

MANSA took up the issue and represented to MoS & MoC and submitted detailed comments suggesting amendments required to be incorporated, if the STP Act is not to be set aside.

The Govt. of India under the MoS constituted a ‘Working Group’ headed by DG Shipping & representations from various trade bodies, Associations including MANSA, to suggest amendments and modifications in the proposed STP Bill. MANSA worked closely with other Associations like FEDSAI / CSLA / INSA/ AMTOI / BCCI.

MANSA was represented by Mr. C. S. Manohar our Sr. Past President and Capt. B. Mahapatra, EC Member and myself. FEDSAI was represented by Mr. C. R. Nambiar our Past President.
Mr. C. S. Manohar / Mr. C. R. Nambiar carried the heavy mantle and gave one of the finest representations in the “Working Group”. The MANSA representation amongst the joint efforts of CSLA, AMTOI & FEDSAI has been well received. Many Joint meetings were held by MANSA with INSA /CSLA /AMTOI & SCI too to drive home our points forcefully in the well represented platform of the Govt. set for all trade representative bodies.

The Working Group of DG Shipping has formed a Sub-Committee of 4 Members to finalize the proposed re-amended Draft of the STP Bill submitted by the Corporate Law Group (CLG). In this special committee of 4 Members Mr. C. R. Nambiar has been nominated by DG Shipping to represent MANSA & FEDSAI in finalizing the draft. At present the matter stands there.

Amendment to Major Port Trust Act:

A special committee of 3 senior Members of MANSA has been formed to go into the details of studying the MPT Act and suggesting required amendments. MANSA has also approached a renowned Law specialist, Advocate Prashant Pratap for an effective draft of the required amendments, with special reference to Section 2 ‘O’. After receipt of the Draft Letter the special committee will finalize the same and will be sent to IPA with a copy to MoS/MoL. The Advocate has been requested to expedite the issue.

Amendment to Section 116/30 of the Customs Act:

One of the long pending and most bothering issues is Amendment to Section 116 of the Sea Custom Act. This issue was raised in almost all the SCOPE meetings from 2005 onwards by MANSA. CBEC responded to our first submission by regretting their inability to consider our request to revisit Sec.116 and the liability arising out of Manifest being filed by “any other authorized person”. We persisted and again took up the issue with a detailed submission sent to the Ministry of Shipping / Ministry of Commerce for early reconsideration and also to carry out the suggested amendments. As there was no response from the Govt., despite our reminder, a further submission was sent to Chairman CBEC and its Members as recently as in April 2009 detailing full facts and the need for immediate consideration of the Amendments to Section 116 of the Customs Act so as to provide level playing field to the Carrier/Agents. A further proposal was sent to CBEC in July 2009 seeking amendments in Section 116/30 of the Sea Custom Act and also seeking personal hearing on the issue and sought appointment with CBEC.

In the meanwhile, Director CBEC, by his letter dated 29th June 2009 (received on 29th July 2009) replied that our request for amendment cannot be acceded to. A joint meeting of the affected Associations was therefore arranged on 11th August 2009 where representatives of CSLA; INSA; SCI & FEDSAI attended the meeting. The issue was discussed threadbare and it has been decided to send a further representation to CBEC, MoS/MoC. Each Association has also been requested to send individual representation pressing for early solution on the issue. MANSA will continue to persist on this issue, until the Govt. yields as we are convinced that our contention is just.

Choice of C.F.S.:

This issue is gaining momentum and we have effectively conveyed the implications involved to the JN Customs in cases where the Importer / CHA is allowed to choose CFSs after filing the IGM. While there is no objection to the choice of the CFSs by the Importer CHAs, it is important that ownership/title of the goods is established and all charges are paid for by the claimant prior filing of the manifest to enable the Line/Agent to arrange for such delivery to their preferred CFS. Once IGM is filed and the CFS declared therein, the same cannot be amended as per the Choice of CHA/Importer. The same issue is now pending with the H’ble High Court, Chennai, on a petition filed by CSLA. In an interim Order passed by the H’ble Court, status quo ante is to be prevailed, with choice of CFS being put on hold. It may, therefore, be worthwhile to wait till the final judgement is pronounced before we take any step further on this issue.

Infrastructure Developments:

One of the main reasons in the delayed turnaround of vessels & lack of capacity to handle larger vessels to take advantage of the 'Economies of Scale' is the lack of required draft in the Main Channel.

The delay in the allotment of the tender and commencement of work on dredging and other infrastructure development projects was brought to the notice of the Secretary of Shipping. It was also pointed out that the main reason for the delay in the implementation of the Projects was the short/last assignments/term of the Chairman appointed and we, therefore, recommended a change in the future appointment of Chairmen i.e. extension in the tenure and an age limit at the time of appointment.

Present status/developments in the dredging of the Mumbai/JNPT Main Channel:

The Main channel being common for both MbPT & JNPT, an agreement has been reached between the two Ports under the direction of the Govt. that the cost of dredging will be shared by MbPT & JNPT in the ratio of 1:7 and the entire main channel dredging project is undertaken by JNPT for which JNPT is processing the Tender for award dredging contract.

4th Terminal:

JNPT has invited Tenders for awarding a contract to run the Terminal on BOT basis. The project is under the initial stage of tender processing and RFQ has been invited.

Berth extension by 330 mtrs:

As regards Berth extension by 330 mtrs. to the north of NSICT Terminal, after completing the Tender process, the proposal has been sent to the Govt. and Port is awaiting for Govt. clearance of the project. The RFP procedure will follow once the security clearance is obtained. The expected period for RFP process is 6 months ending December 2009.

Replacement of R.M.Q.Cs:

It is informed that Crane No. 7, which was made redundant, after an unfortunate accident, is now reported to have started functioning and the performance has badly affected after the incident. Regarding replacement of other cranes, the tender process has commenced and will be issued soon. One crane is expected to be delivered to the Port within 15 months time. A further order for three more cranes is being processed and is expected to be placed shortly. Why the order for these could not have been clubbed with the order for the single crane is not understood.

Again, it is reported that JNPT is reconsidering leasing of 3 cranes for a period of 5 years. It is bewildering that this proposal was considered about two years ago, shelved, and, again being reconsidered. In the meantime, lines operating from JNPCT either shifts or continue to suffer!

Rail/Road connectivity and evacuation of cargoes:

Much is needed to be done in this area of logistic infrastructural support. All the Terminals of JNPT are suffering from heavy congestion of ICD Containers clustering the Port Terminals. CONCOR has tried to facilitate by increasing the rail connectivity to the ICDs by increasing the number of rakes from 15-16 to 20-21 per day. Even though many private rail operators do operate in providing rail connectivity, the desired results have not yet been reached with the result the congestion of ICD Containers has become a yearly phenomenon. MANSA has taken up the issue with Port Authorities, CONCOR and Terminals to address the issue. MANSA has made joint effort with CSLA to ease the congestion by providing better rail/road connectivity.

On the issue of rail pendency at JNPT, one issue that the authorities are raising is the unpredictable manner in which the Lines keep bringing ICD containers destined to Ludhiana, particularly. It is alleged that the Lines do not give any notice to the rail operators about such increase in volume. Perhaps, a better interaction with CONCOR and other operators may be needed to provide free flow of information. Similarly, it is for the Customs and Ministry of Commerce to look into the sudden preference of Ludhiana ICD and the consequent volume increase.

Development/Progress in the construction of the O.C.T.:

The Port completed the DPR in December 2001 for construction of Offshore Container Terminal Berths. The technical details are:
2 Berths measuring 700mtr. Long x 58 mtr. Wide (800 mtrs. Offshore)
14.5 mtrs. Draught
Container Vessels capacity 6000 TEUs
Capacity of the Berth after commissioning will be 0.8 million TEUs
Estimate cost of project Rs.1460 Crores, of which, Port’s share will be Rs. 445/- Crores
2 Approach Trestles of approx. 1000 mtr. In length and 12 mtr. Wide connecting Berths & Shore
Container Yard capacity 3400 down slots
RCD for handling container
6 QGCs & 18 RTGs & 2 RMGCs for RCD

Work Progress: LOI issued in August 2007
Govt. sanction was received in March 2009 and
Agreement signed with BOT Operator in December 2008
Fabrication of gantry and Jack Up Platform for civil work has been mobilized
Port has awarded dredging contract for MbPT component of work in April 2009.
Jet probing work is in progress.

Dredging of the Harbour Wall & Approach Channels:

Deepening the Harbour Wall Berths and a Cruise Terminal was originally conceptualized by MANSA.

Meetings were held between MbPT and MANSA and resultantly some time during 2002-2003 an effective plan was drawn for development of Harbour Wall berths into deep drafted berths so as to cater to the Bulk Carriers. Tenders were invited for dredging and deepening the approach channel and Harbour Wall berths in July 2008. Only single Bidder responded and the offer was felt to be on the higher side, and, therefore, the Tender was discharged and another Tender was called for in April 2009. The Department felt that no blasting work is involved for dredging and putting off of the ‘Coffer Dam’. On the basis of new facts, review and advice of experts on removal of Coffer Dam and revised cost analysis Tender documents were re-prepared and the Tender is re-invited.

Tender for Civil Work was invited in August 2008 and submission of the same was re-scheduled to July 2009.

Both the projects were cleared by the Planning Commission in the Year 2006 and it was envisaged that the work would be completed by the Year 2012. The new schedule for the completion of the project is yet to be fixed.

Construction of the Harbour Wall Berths with draft of 12 mtrs.:

Berth Nos. 18-21 at Indira Dock are planned to be re-developed for handling vessels from 30,000 to 80,000 DWT (Flat Bedded) Vessels
The berthing pocket and the navigational channel width are to be widened from 40 – 50 mtr. & 75-125 mtrs. respectively.
New berthing face will be on Pile Foundation 10 mtrs. away from the existing berthing face.
The handling capacity: 8 million tonnes per annum and
The estimated cost; about Rs.360 Crores for which Govt. sanction was received in January 2008.

Construction of a Cruise Terminal:

The Cruise Terminal which was planned has met a rocky end as the Defense Ministry has raised objection and the Authorities are pursuing the issue with the Ministry (2009).

Construction of Two Multipurpose Sheds in Indira Dock:

1) Multipurpose Shed admeasuring 20,000 Sq.m area with roof top storage for vehicles:

Sometime in the Year 2005, MANSA suggested requirement of a large Multi-purpose covered shed which could cater to the 2 requirements of:
(i) A covered space for Break Bulk/Steel Cargo
(ii) Car parking/storage space for EXIM cars.
After continuous persuasion by MANSA, sometime in 2007, Port prepared a plan for Multi-purpose Covered Shed as above. After several inter-active meetings with MANSA a conceptual design was finalized. In-principle approval was given by the Board in 2008 to invite Tenders. MbPT is presently in the process of preparing the Tender after which it will be placed before the Board of MbPT, hopefully, sometime in the year 2009 itself.

2) Multipurpose Shed admeasuring 8,000 Sq.m area at 5 ID:

Same is the status of 8,000 Sqm. Storage Shed at 5 ID which has been principally approved by the Board and the Tenders are being worked out and invited as above. Further, the Engineering Department has invited offer for Architectural Engineering Services for the construction of these 2 Multi-purpose Sheds at ID and a pre-bid meeting was held in July 2009.

Provision of a dedicated Ro-Ro Facility at 1-2 Indira Dock to handle Ro-Ro Traffic:

MbPT has floated Tenders inviting RFQ for the above 2 projects for operating private Terminals on BOT basis for a period of 20 years in July 2009.

Development of Cargo Terminals on PPP Basis at Berth Nos. 10/11 & 12 Indira Dock for Conventional General Cargoes And at Berth Nos. 1 & 2 Indira Dock for Bulk Cargoes:

As MbPT was catering to Ro-Ro Traffic and the EXIM trade in vehicles took an impetus. MANSA demanded an exclusive Ro-Ro handling facility at Berth No.1-2 ID by providing a suitable Ro-Ro ramp sometime in October 2007. MANSA as well as other users and Associations pressed for immediate action by discussing in various meetings and suggesting plans. A special team of MANSA also had interactive meetings with the Engineer concerned and a scheme was approved upon which MbPT promptly responded and a Ro-Ro facility at 1-2 ID was inaugurated by the newly appointed Chairman MbPT on 26th August 2008. The technical features of the Ro-Ro Ramp are as under:

a) Sloping Length of Ramp : 9.6 Mtrs.
b) Width of the Ramp : 18 Mtrs.
c) Cost : Rs.29.7 Lakhs
d) Period of Construction : 3 months
e) Fenders Cylindrical Rubber : 2 Nos.

Construction of 2nd Berth for Handling Liquid Chemicals/Specialized Grades of POL off Pir Pau Pier:

The berthing capacity will be to cater to the vessels upto 37,000 DWT and a throughput of 2 million tonnes per annum. The project is estimated to cost Rs.116 Crores and has been sanctioned by the Govt. in November 2007. The Tender work for the above project is in progress and tender for dredging work is invited in July 2009.

Construction of 5th Oil Berth at Jawahar Dweep:

This project envisages construction of modern oil berth for handling large oil tankers of 1,50,000 DWT and the capacity of the Berth would be 18 million tonnes per annum. Consultants were appointed by the Port in February 2007 and DPR was finalized in September 2008. Further work of obtaining statutory clearance is in progress

Mbpt has also the following schemes on the anvil:

Scheme – 1 Development and operation of two Graving Dry Docks one each of size equivalent to the existing Graving Dry Docks of MbPT or Graving Dry Docks of suitable nos. and sizes with or without synchrolift/ shiplift facilities or for the operation of Floating Dry Docks of suitable nos. and sizes at Berth Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 in Indira Dock.
Scheme – 2 Development and operation of Ship-Repair Facilities such as: Slipways etc. at Clarke Basin, Mazagaon.
Scheme – 3 Development of a Marina for providing a floating shelter and small boat/yacht repair facilities at the MbPT Workshop Wharf and water front and Frere Basin wharf and water front.
and has invited Expression Of Interest (EOI) seeking applications through PPP venture in June 2009. Last date of submission of EOI is 31st August 2009.

Developments in the extended Port Limits, Bunders etc.:

While Ports around the country are struggling to maintain or marginally increase throughputs by improving facilities and incentives, MbPT & JNPT are pulling strings with the Government to ensure that the coastal crude oil exported by ONGC is moved through their berths !!!

The throughput being shown by Mumbai Port is fictitious, in the sense, MbPT has little or no involvement, except that of being the “Landlord”. Sixty percent of the cargo of 50 million tonnes comes from cargo transiting the Mumbai Harbour for discharge at Daramthar, Underground pipelines carrying Crude Oil from Mumbai High Oilfields to Shore Tanks/Installations and bulk coal being discharged in Inner Anchorage and offloaded in the Bunders.

MANSA mooted the idea of a Harbour Authority to combine the requirements of the entire region:

When the new Government was formed and Mr. G. K. Vasan took over as the Minister of Shipping, the Ministry decided to fast-track some of the pending infrastructure projects. However, none of the Infrastructure projects in Mumbai & JNPT were mentioned in the priority list.

MANSA wrote to the Minister with copies to the Secretary of Shipping and the Chairmen of both ports emphasizing the importance of expediting the pending projects and once again mooted the essentiality of forming a Harbour Authority for the development of the entire region instead of having projects being delayed for unacceptable reasons.

One of the serious drawbacks in our efforts remains that of not having a strong lobbying efforts with the authority. Unless this aspect is given due consideration, not much success will be met, despite best of our efforts.

Joint Meetings with Associations:

MANSA initiated a meeting between MANSA/FEDSAI/CSLA and INSA. All the Associations have shown a keen interest and the next step will be to bring in the Trade Associations including AMTOI, BCHAA, FFFAI etc. to form a single strong lobby.

Obviously the lobby is going to grow stronger and stronger and my fear is that MANSA identity will get lost in the process. It is my suggestion, which is open for discussion, that in addition to the present office bearers, MANSA should be represented by one of our ex Presidents who is still active in Shipping and has the capacity and connections to lead this MOVEMENT.

Cheers !!!

Live Twitter Notes from Habib Ali’s event at Friends’ House

Live Twitter Notes from Habib Ali’s event at Friends’ House

I am intending to attempt to make Twitter notes from the Radical Middle Way‘s upcoming Habib Ali’s talk “I’m Mad as Hell and I Can’t Take it Anymore” and publish them live from my Twitter feed which is you will also be able to search for the posts (if you miss them) at by searching for the tag #rmw-ha1 as we will (if we remember) to tag the posts, I have a test posting on there at the moment. I am not sure if someone from RMW will also be twittering but you can also add their Twitter feed.

The “we” is not the royal “we” as I am hoping that my two wonderful and lovely (this is not flattery, they are!) nieces Zakia and Maria will assist me in Twittering the event (in fact, I think I’ll lumber them with the job if I can get away with it!). Each post is restricted to 140 characters so will try and do very punchy and brief updates. Please forgive us if it is all a bit too haphazard or doesn’t happen at all.

If you are scratching your head and wondering what Twitter is, it is essentially microblogging and is great for “what I am doing right now” type of posts that those familiar with Facebook will recognise. You can see the Twitter help pages for further information. You can also use various Twitter clients, I am currently using Twhirl for tracking and posting, but there are a number of other clients around.

The event details are:

Butterfield Technology Park

The Butterfield Technology Park (SR2020-18 through SR2020-22) is a roughly 25 acre industrial project that includes 5 separate buildings ranging in size from 70,000 to 92,000 square feet. This project is part of a larger 58-acre masterplan project that includes the 389-unit multi-family Morgan Hill Apartments project, an approximately 3 acre private park with public access, and an extension of Sutter Boulevard.  This project was approved by Planning Commission on December 8, 2020.  Building permits have been issued and construction is pending.

This project proposes approximately 410,000 square feet of flexible industrial/commercial space spread across 5 separate buildings on five separate lots. As required by the Development Agreement, this project requires Design Review. No other approvals are required at this time. The Community Development Director has elevated this project to the Planning Commission for consideration.

  • Building 1 will be situated on a +/- 4.98-acre lot with an 85,456 sf concrete tilt-up building.
  • Building 2 will be situated on a +/- 4.96-acre lot with an 82,446 sf concrete tilt-up building.
  • Building 3 will be situated on a +/- 5.35-acre lot with an 80,156 sf concrete tilt-up building.
  • Building 4 will be situated on a +/- 5.30-acre lot with an 91,738 sf concrete tilt-up building.
  • Building 5 will be situated on a +/- 4.04-acre lot with an 70,280 sf concrete tilt-up building.

All five buildings are designed to be divisible into up to 2 tenant spaces with a maximum height of 45.6 feet.

Environmental Review:

In accordance with the Development Agreement, this project is in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines.

An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was approved by the City on March 18, 1981 for the MHRBP Planned Unit Development (PUD). In addition, a subsequent Initial Study was prepared, and Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) adopted by the City allowing an amendment to the PUD on April 5, 2000.

Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, the Development Agreement provides that the City shall not undertake additional environmental review under CEQA unless required to do so by CEQA. CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 mandates that projects which are consistent with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan policies for which an EIR was certified shall not require additional environmental review, except as might be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant effects which are peculiar to the project or its site.

This project is located within the Morgan Hill Ranch Business Park PUD and is consistent with the development projections analyzed in the EIR for the project site. The Project also is designed to be consistent with the development standards in the General Plan and Zoning Code. No further environmental assessment is required. The project shall comply with the mitigation measures of the Morgan Hill Ranch Business Park PUD EIR and the MND on file in the Community Development Department.

In 2014-2015, an EIR was prepared and certified for an adjacent residential project (GPA 14-04 mentioned above). That project is unrelated to the current design review application.  Environmental documents for GPA 14-04 can be found here.

Environmental Documents for the Morgan Hill Ranch Business Park can be found here.

The subject property is included within the Morgan Hill Ranch Business Park Planned Unit Development. A Development Agreement with Morgan Hill Development Partners that included the project site, was approved on March 1, 2001, but expired. The underlying land remained industrial in the Zoning Code and General Plan.

In 2014-15, the owner of the property at the time, MWest Prop Co XXXIII LLC (MWest) , filed an application to convert the zoning and general plan designation for a 19.5 acre portion of the industrial park to residential use. The residential portion of the site (now known as Morgan Hill Apartments), was created when the City Council approved General Plan Amendment (File No. GPA-14-04) by Resolution No. 15-102 on May 6, 2015 (subsequent to Planning Commission review on November 18, 2014) amending the designation of 19.5 acres on the northern portion of the site from Industrial to Multi-Family Medium.

On September 2, 2015, subsequent to review by the Planning Commission on July 28, 2015,  the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2163, approving a Zoning Amendment (File No. ZA-15-12) for the 19.5-acre site amending the zoning to R-3 Medium Density Residential. A masterplan for the entire 60 acres, including a park and industrial park were developed for the consideration of the amendment.

In 2016, the new developer for the site, MWest requested a new Development Agreement as a means to encourage and expedite the development of the site.

A Preliminary Plan Review for the Industrial portion of the project was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its July 26, 2016, meeting.  The City Council subsequently reviewed the Preliminary Plan Review at their meeting of November 16, 2016.

Two Development Agreements were prepared, one for the residential portion of the site (Morgan Hill Apartments) and one for the industrial portion referred to in the title of the DA as the Butterfield Technology Center.  The Development Agreement approved up to 600,000 gross square feet of new industrial development.

On May 9, 2017, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed Development Agreement for the industrial portion of the site.  The Planning Commission adopted resolutions that affirmed CEQA compliance, General Plan consistency and recommended the Agreement be approved by City Council.

On June 7, 2017, the City Council held a public hearing to introduce Ordinance 2249 that approved the Development Agreement. The City Council adopted the Development Agreement on June 21, 2017.  The document became effective on July 21, 2017 and was recorded with the County on August 29, 2017.

Industrial Development Agreement (DA) between the City and MWest

In 2019 MWest sold and assigned their interest in the project and the entitlements to Braddock and Logan, who then sold a portion of the industrial property to Trammell Crow.

The Development Agreement requires the City to prioritize and expedite processing of the application.  This project will be considered at the December 8th Planning Commission public hearing (detailed info below).

The Pride Of John McCain

Let me just say categorically I’m proud of the people that come to our rallies. Whenever you get a large rally of 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 people, you’re going to have some fringe peoples. You know that. And I’ve — and we’ve always said that that’s not appropriate.

I have repudiated every time someone’s been out of line, whether they’ve been part of my campaign or not, and I will continue to do that.

But the fact is that we need to absolutely not stand for the kind of things that have been going on. I haven’t.

John McCain, final 2008 presidential debate

Of course, the reality is that McCain only “repudiates” the hate-talkers when they pose a question to him directly.  Neither he nor Sarah Palin have said anything at all when some yahoo in the audience yelled “Terrorist!”, “Traitor!”, or “Kill him!”

But to return to McCain’s quote, I assume that McCain is proud of these people who came to a Sarah Palin rally in Ohio:

“I’m afraid if he wins, the blacks will take over. He’s not a Christian! This is a Christian nation! What is our country gonna end up like?”

“When you got a nigra running for president, you need a first stringer. He’s definitely a second stringer.” [Transcript said something else, but I’m pretty sure ‘nigra’ is correct.]

“He’s related to a known terrorist, for one.”

“He is friends with a terrorist of this country!”

“He must support terrorists! You know, uh, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a duck. And that to me is Obama.”

“Just the whole, Muslim thing, and everything, and everybody’s still kinda – a lot of people have forgotten about 9/11, but… I dunno, it’s just kinda… a little unnerving.”

“Obama and his wife, I’m concerned that they could be anti-white. That he might hide that.”

“I don’t like the fact that he thinks us white people are trash… because we’re not!”

Yeah, I can totally see how they would make McCain’s chest puff out and his eyes get all watery.

What about the Chaffey Community Republican Women, the ones who mocked up “Obama Bucks” food stamps, complete with KFC, ribs, Kool-Aid, and watermelon?  Too unofficial and fringe-y?  Then how about the Sacramento County Republican Party, with their “The only difference between Obama and Osama is BS” and “Waterboard Barack Obama” graphics?  Is McCain proud of them too, or do they have to come to his rallies?

Or what about Jamie Frederick, the VA GOP Chair who whipped up McCain campaign volunteers with talking points about how Obama and bin Laden “both have friends that bombed the Pentagon”? I guess McCain must be proud of him, since he refused to “repudiate” him, and will actually appear with him at a rally this Saturday.

Nice company you’re keeping, Ace.  When did your pride and shame wires get crossed, exactly?  Was it just this year, or have you always been this way?

(h/t Oliver Willis for the Palin rally quotes)

Joe The Plumber: Yet Another Vetting Fail By Team McCain

Well, isn’t this special:

John McCain did great tonight in the debate. But every time John mentioned “Joe the Plumber,” some of us in the campaign banged our heads against the wall. If Steve Schmidt had any hair left, I hear he would have been pulling it out tonight. He reportedly screamed at John’s debate prep team tonight (out of earshot of reporters, of course). “You idiots – he’s related to Charles Keating… of the Keating Five scandal!” They thought they had a real live Joe Six-Pack who’s spurned Barack Obama’s tax plan. But what they forgot to do was check on Joe Wurzelbacher’s background.

Turns out that Joe Wurzelbacher from the Toledo event is a close relative of Robert Wurzelbacher of Milford, Ohio. Who’s Robert Wurzelbacher? Only Charles Keating’s son-in-law and the former senior vice president of American Continental, the parent company of the infamous Lincoln Savings and Loan. The now retired elder Wurzelbacher is also a major contributor to Republican causes giving well over $10,000 in the last few years.

Does any of this make Joe the Plumber a bad guy? Of course not. In fact, after that ill-fated night at the Watergate, he may finally be giving plumbers a good name. But at a debate where John goes full bore on Obama for guilt-by-association with William Ayers (and dodges a bullet by Obama not mentioning Keating Five), the press is going to bring it back front and center by midday tomorrow once they delve deeper into the most popular plumber in America.

D’oh!  Way to bring remind everyone about Keating, Mac.  Maybe if you could find a genuine middle-class salt-of-the-earth American to shill for you, this wouldn’t have happened.  Then again, a genuine middle-class person would only see tax cuts under Obama’s plan…

Charlie Crist Is Way Off The Reservation

Breaking with the talking points of his fellow Republicans in Washington, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist said he does not think voter fraud and the vote-registration group ACORN are a major problem in the Sunshine State.

”I think that there’s probably less [fraud] than is being discussed. As we’re coming into the closing days of any campaign, there are some who enjoy chaos,” Crist told reporters.

Crist made his comments as the Republican National Committee hosted a conference call with reporters to tie Democrat Barack Obama to suspicious voter-registration cards submitted by ACORN across the nation and in four Florida counties, including Broward.

Crist’s Republican Secretary of State, Kurt Browning, said he doesn’t think ACORN is committing systematic voter fraud. And Crist said that settles the matter because ”I have enormous confidence” in Browning.

Like ACORN spokesmen, Browning says the false voter registration forms could be blamed on unethical canvassers or on citizens who themselves fill out fictitious voter cards.

Crist better watch his back.  Intellectual honesty is not exactly smiled upon in Republican quarters, especially when it goes against the Official Smear Meme Of The Day.

Illinois is home to river based gambling dens, and there are 9 key gambling halls in Illinois. Illinois gambling halls have been restricted by the government’s restrictions and are levied at the highest rate in the US. The laws also limit the number of gaming permits that can be issued to nine, and the state government is currently at the max for casino licenses. Illinois casinos do, however, allow a varied collection of wagering options.

Illinois was the fifth commonwealth admitted to the union on December 3, 1818 and it is the fifth largest colonized commonwealth in the union. With the introduction of the Alton Belle, Illinois became the 2nd state to accept river boat gambling dens. All of the casinos allow excellent gambling from Slots to chemin de fer to Roulette.

Argosy’s Alton Belle gambling hall was the initial riverboat casino in Illinois, opening for business in 1991. It’s situated at One Front Street in Alton. There are three eatery’s accessible for clients. The gambling den occupies 23,000 square feet and features a twelve hundred client ship and a barge.

Argosy’s Empress gambling hall is situated at 2300 Empress Drive in Joliet. There are 85 rooms and 17 suites available at the gambling den lodging. There are three eatery’s available. The casino covers 50,000 square feet, and has special features like an eighty-spot motor home camp and 2,500 passenger canal boat.

Casino Queen is situated in East Saint Louis at 200 South Front st. There are one hundred and fifty beds and 7 suites close-at-hand at the casino. The casino coverstwenty-seven thousand five hundred sq.ft. and presents lots of features. Besides playing, Casino Queen provides a 2,500 patron riverboat, a one hundred and forty lot camper campground and effortless access to MetroLink light-train station.

The above-mentioned, are only three of the 9 Illinois casinos. They all present special features like paddle boats and canal boats. Almost all gambling dens also offer excellent dining on site. Illinois gambling dens offer a great deal more than betting – they provide a great vacation occasion.

Georgia on my mind

Georgia is the home of wine, and not just any wine. The ancient Greeks considered it to be the finest wine in the known world, and vastly superior to their own somewhat vinegary efforts. For 8,000 years the Georgians have understood the need for stable temperatures during the fermentation process and therefore buried their wine in vast terracotta pots known as qvevri so that come rain or shine the temperature remained almost constant. Changing methods, intensive farming and artificial fertilisers and pesticides took their toll on quality during the 20th century, but now Georgian wines are experienced a much-deserved revival, and the results are quite remarkable.

To try the finest wines that modern Georgia has to offer, we joined the Georgian Minister of the Economy, Vera Kobalia, food critics and invited guests at Hibiscus, the double Michelin starred restaurant in Mayfair. Wine connoisseur Isabelle Legeron matched seven of Georgia's best wines (all on the menu at Hibiscus) with chef Claude Bosi's dishes and over the course of three or four hours we learned about the history and techniques of Georgian wine making. Other than the importance of the qvevri, we discovered how Georgian white wines are often fermented with the grape skins, giving the resulting wines a gloriously rich orange colour.

Our second Georgian encounter, just three days later, was at the Raw Wine Fair in a converted brewery on London's Brick Lane. More than 200 natural wine producers from around the world gathered to show their wines first to the general public and then to the press and trade. Natural wines go one stage further than organic wines in that not only are the grapes grown without the use of chemicals but also no additives are used during the wine production process.

Eight Georgian wine makers were showing their wines at the fair, including our good friend Eko Glonti. A Doctor-turned-Geologist-turned-Wine maker, Eko is reviving disused vineyards in Georgia and re-discovering the traditional wine making methods. Despite having only produced wines commercially for the past two or three years, both his red and white are already turning heads: they're already on the menu at Hibiscus and will shortly be impressing diners at The Fat Duck in Bray. His red wine, our particular favourite, is exceptionally fruity and will be ready to buy via his website around September time. Alongside the Georgian wine we were able to try incredibly nutty Georgian sunflower oil with superb Georgian breads, plum sauce and meats. Often motivated by good foods, we're planning a visit to Georgia in the autumn to fully appreciate on home soil the foods, wines and, of course, teas for which Georgia should certainly become renowned.

last day of Paris

Four and a half days in Paris just isn’t enough. You could spend a lot longer than that and still have things left to do!

For our last day we decided to pop in to the Orsay museum (we had heard it was better than the Louvre…I’d say they are about on par). Lot’s of famous impressionist artwork in a big old train station.

The food in Paris was wonderful. Very expensive, but oh so good. We loved stopping in to every little bakery and pastry shop and trying lot’s of different cheeses. Nick and I both fell in love with Macarons and had to eat them multiple times. Oh and the baguettes and all the random cheeses…so much good food.

Below is a photo from the inside of the Saint Chappele. It was built to house what is thought to be Christ’s actual crown of thorns. It is a very small church made almost completely of stained glass. The glass tells the story of Christ’s life. The window right over the alter depicts the story of the crown of thorns. This picture just cannot do justice to the way the sunlight came through those windows…

Amd what trip to Paris would be complete without a trip up the Montemarte hill to see the church (or mostly the view of all of Paris from the church) and catch a show at the Moulin Rouge (kidding, we just walked by, lol).

The Louvre

We started our morning at the Arc de Triomphe, and wandered our way down the fancy shopping street, through the touleries garden and into the Louvre.

Venus de Milo

Dude that made the beard popular. Beards are Nick’s favorite thing about vacation I think.

Nike of Samothrace

Mona Lisa

Looking for Quasi Modo

In preparation for our Paris trip we watched a few Paris movies, including Hunchback of Notre Dame. I think it made it a little more meaningful for Jonah to see Notre Dame and look for the gargoyles and Quasi Modo and his bells.

This is the only one of the rose windows in the Notre Dame has the original medieval glass in it.

We found one of Quasi’s friends up top.

This bell used to take 16 men to ring. Then they added a few pullies and it only took 8. Nowadays it’s all machine run, pretty amazing.

The climb to the bell tower was about 400 steps. The lady who we showed our tickets to asked me several times if I was sure I could/wanted to do it. I think she was worried I would go into labor. She seemed worried about Jonah too. But Jonah has proven after many bell tower climbs that he is the champion of the tiny winding staircase. We got to cut the line because of her concern for us though, she wanted us at the back of a wave of people being let in so she had us come to the front and hop in after the next group. Pregnancy does come with some perks.

The backside of Notre Dame (I like it better) and one of the many lock covered bridges. Don’t mind me looking huge…and the glasses I had to wear all week because of a terrible eye infection, good times.

Very famous bookstore that has supported many struggling authors (very famous authors but I can’t remember who) and still does. They have rooms they let struggling authors stay in above the shop for free. Nick is considering this his backup plan, lol.

Jonah with his head tied back (hey it’s better then letting it flop around!) in front of the Pantheon…originally meant to be a church but it became more a of a place to honor the heroes of France, lot’s of famous people buried in the crypt including Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, Voltaire. Also the place where the rotation of the earth was discovered by Leon Foucalt using his Foucalt pendulum which still hangs from the ceiling.

Jonah and I went to a cute little French marionette show in the Luxembourg gardens, sorry no pictures but it was fun.

We decided to take a little scenic cruise on the Seine that evening. Beautiful. A bit chilly though, especially for Nick who forgot to pack a jacket (don’t worry, we resolved that the next day). Most of the people around us this whole trip were wearing winter jackets. Between Nick’s warm blood and me being pregnant, we were in T-shirts most the time and we got a lot of looks.

Versailles: THE palace.

Apparently if there is one palace to see in Europe, Versailles is the one. Good ole’ King Louis went a bit overboard. This palace is simply incredible. It was fun to see but then when you stop and think about it, it does make you a little sick. They said that the cost of building the palace was the GDP of France for one year. Why not spend all of your country’s money for a year making yourself the biggest possible estate? Makes sense right? I just loved the gardens, they were huuuuge and so beautiful.

The palace had it’s own chapel (below).

Nick and Jonah hanging out in the hall of mirrors where the treaty of Versailles was signed. These mirrors were a big deal back in the day, mirrors of that size were pricey, and this is a whole hallway of them.

There was some random modern art around the palace such as this high heel shoe made out of pots and lids.

Below is Marie Antoinette’s peasant house. She wanted an escape from the pressures of the palace so in the far corner of the GINORMOUS grounds of the palace they made her own little ideal peasant village complete with a working farm. This is her peasant house. Not so peasantly. Nick says I can have a house like this and my own peasant village if I plan to get beheaded.

Our last big trip before the baby. Paris. So lovely. Even at seven months pregnant and dragging around a toddler. Probably one of our favorite places so far. Everything was very expensive so in order to cut costs we used an apartment rental website (our second time doing this, the first being in Barcelona). For half the price of a cheap hotel room we got a decently located very small but fully equipped apartment that made us feel like true locals.

Luxembourg garden has a huge playground you can pay a few Euro to get into. Jonah, of course, loved it.

We headed straight for the iconic eiffel tower, our first day there. we were hoping to catch the sunset from the top but by the time we made it through all the long lines (buying tickets, riding one elevator, then another) it was dark. But still very beautiful views of the city.

The Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler

The ROSS project’s goal is to provide extremely unique sets of data from an inexpensive and relatively expendable research platform. This page details both the project as a whole, and highlights my contribution towards it.

For this project, I am working for Dr. Jonathan Nash of the Ocean Mixing Group at Oregon State University. I have been branded as the “Lead Roboticist” and as such, I am responsible for all of the electronics systems of the kayaks, with a bit of reach into software and mechanical design. I work to design and implement all of the electronics that ROSS requires to function. I work with an ever growing team of about 10-12 engineers/scientists/machinists that work together to get the kayaks in the water. I am directly responsible for hiring and managing about 5 engineering students.

ROSS is an extremely effective scientific platform as it allows scientists in the field to multiply their efficiency by collecting a distinct and unique dataset from what is typically collected on a manned research vessel. It can also allow for tight multi-ship coordination.

ROSS is also capable of collecting data that is impossible for a manned vessel to collect. This was tested in particular during the LeConte Glacier deployment of August 2016. Kayaks were sent directly up to the glacier face, where the vessel we launched them from couldn’t get anywhere near due to safety concerns. Giant chunks of ice were constantly calving off of the face, which, while inconvenient (and potentially deadly) for manned craft, doesn’t phase ROSS.

Barbara Epstein teaches in the Historical past of Consciousness Division at UC Santa Cruz and is engaged on a e-book on the underground movement within the ghetto in Minsk, Belarus, during the Second World Conflict. The anarchist interpretation of this passage claims that this is an indication both of Jesus’s disaffection with the state and together with his grudging acquiescence to political authority. Until their dreamed-of revolution comes, anarchist should think about the degree to which cooperation with the state involves promoting out” to the political establishment.anarchism

If revolutionary exercise is taken off the desk, then anarchists are left with various forms of gradualism and reformism. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to emphasise that almost all anarchist principles, convictions and moral positions are by no means an invention of contemporary anarchist concept – they’re as previous as human civilisation.anarchism

Some anarchists engage in broad generalizations, aiming for a complete critique of political power. The history of anarchism is replete with efforts to assemble anarchist communes which can be unbiased and separated from the remainder of state centered political life.

Whereas social anarchism places emphasis on society and sometimes helps a political economy that socialises the technique of manufacturing, libertarian anarchism is generally concerned with ensuring the maximum amount of liberty for the person. This is particularly visible in new social movements which were influenced by anarchist forms of organisation with horizontal structures and non-representative resolution-making processes.

In some cases, individualistic anarchism is merely a matter of way of life” (criticized in Bookchin 1995), which focuses on costume, habits, and different individualistic choices and preferences. Anarchists additionally supply a positive theory of human flourishing, primarily based upon a really perfect of non-coercive consensus building.anarchism

FL Lady Bug

FL Lady Bug never performed on the racetrack or in the show ring, but she has earned her place in the AQHA Hall of Fame as a producer of top-quality Quarter Horse runners. FL Lady Bug was foaled in 1945 and bred by W. A. Yeager of Woodward, Oklahoma.  She was by Sergeant and out of Yeager’s Lady JA.  She was owned by Marvin and Lela Barnes for most of her producing years. FL Lady Bug was bred to produce working horses most of her life because pari-mutuel racing was outlawed in Oklahoma at the time.  In 1952, the sorrel mare foaled Rocky Bert, a top tie-down roping horse by Bert, and the first indication that she could be a speed producer.  Rocky Bert raced in several match races and became a consistent AA campaigner. The potency of her speed was shown in her first foals, which were not sired by proven progenitors of racehorses.  These foals included five starters – one AAAT and two AAA – that earned 29 wins, one stakes win, five racing Registers of Merit and more than $16,000 in winnings. Her daughter Top Ladybug by Top Deck (TB) was the 1966 champion 2-year-old filly and earned $195,943 on the racetrack.  She won seven stakes races, including the 1966 Rainbow Futurity at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico. Top Ladybug placed third in the All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs in 1966.  But in the 1968 All American, she was the dam of second-place Lady Bug’s Moon and the granddam of third-place Top Bug and fourth-place Ralph’s Lady Bug.  Ruidoso Downs officials jokingly quipped that “the race must be bugged.” Ralph’s Lady Bug was bred to Top Moon in 1972, and the mating produced 1975 All American winner Bugs Alive In 75.

All in all, FL Lady Bug produced 14 foals – 11 starters, 10 winners, four stakes placers and one world champion, with total combined earnings of $520,414.  Her produce earned 14 Registers of Merit and two Superior race awards. FL Lady Bug died in 1974 at 29.  She was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Hall of Fame in 2009.

Chelsea Weathers Interviews Margaret Meehan

Clip from The Bride of Frankenstein, dir. James Whale, 1935

Your two digital collages for Unfashioned Creatures combine images from fashion magazines, historic photographs and images of monsters. What led you to use these specific types of images for these collages?

I saw a great video clip of Guillermo del Toro giving a lecture about The Bride of Frankenstein where he says, The Bride of Frankenstein [is] the cold uncaring future and the creature is the past trying to connect.” I think this best encapsulates the premise for my digital collages. Both works deal with memory (short and long term) and the erasure of history.

I've always been interested in monsters and the science of teratology. When I’m working I tend to ask questions like, Why are some bodies considered horrific and others beautiful? And how are those physical traits projected upon human nature? Mary Shelley's monster in Frankenstein was feared because of his body despite the fact that he was sweet and intelligent. His isolation and eventual rejection from the town created his shame and pushed him to act out violently.

When we think of Chanel we think style, beauty and elegance, but Coco Chanel was a known anti-Semite who is rumored to have been a Nazi spy. She and Frankenstein’s monster are the opposite of our expectations. I chose collage as a strategy because collage—the manipulation of images, in particular—is how Chanel markets its brand and the memory of its founder. I manipulated the imagery of my sources in a way that is analogous to how Chanel the company has crafted its own image, by editing out or altering certain things that wouldn't serve the company’s best interests.

An advertisement for Chanel No. 5, 1962

So Chanel in this context also becomes an analogue to Frankenstein’s monster; both are figures with a double identity in the sense that they subvert what people might expect from them judging by their looks. How did you first connect Chanel to that idea of the monster?

I love Coco Chanel’s designs and the designers that followed her. I’ve always kept track of the current runway shows and dreamed of dressing in Chanel. What Karl Lagerfeld does, including the spectacle of the runway, is amazing to me. But over time I started to read stories about Chanel's years during and after World War II. My love for the brand has not changed, but it is more informed. And to be fair, several other designers cooperated with the Nazis––most famously Hugo Boss, who was a Nazi himself and designed the uniforms for the Third Reich. However, Hugo Boss the company acknowledges its past while Chanel disputes and ignores Coco Chanel’s involvement. That difference is an important part of my work. We as consumers deserve to be informed so that we can try to understand the past and choose our own place or culpability in relation to it.

These digital collages also include sound, which corresponds to specific parts of the collage and shifts as the viewer interacts with the images. How did you decide which audio elements to add, and what was your process of collaborating with Lauren Green and Eric Harvey?

Chanel’s company and Shelley’s monster were both built from the bones of others. This realization made me remember photographs of piles of hair and bones at Nazi concentration camps and the song Dem Bones, which was an African American spiritual:

 Head bone (dis)connected from the neck bone
 Neck bone connected from the shoulder bone
 Shoulder bone connected from the back bone
 Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk around
 Dem bones, dem bones gonna rise again
 Now hear the word of the Lord

I asked both Eric and Lauren to start with this song as the basis for their new compositions. Then I added There’s Going to be the Devil to Pay by Fats Waller to Lauren’s references for the Devil to Pay collage. And I added I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick to Eric’s list for our collaborative collage Dry Bones. After they sent me some initial tracks I started my work based on the mood I heard in their music.

Both of the collages are about dualism and I played with this idea in the images I chose. For example, Lauren’s interpretation of the music was haunting and melancholy. When I started looking at pictures of the catwalk and fashion shows and the procession of models down the runway, I thought of of the Ugly Carnivals, a bizarre ritual that originated in France after its liberation from the Germans in 1944. It involved the shaming of French women who collaborated with the Nazis by publicly shaving their heads. I thought of the ways that hair is tied to gender and sexuality. As Coco Chanel said, “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.”

Eric’s collage Dry Bones is meant to address love and acceptance and what we do for those things. The monster in the film The Bride of Frankenstein looks for companionship and connection and when he finds it in the bride he also discovers rejection. The campy pop-song yearning in I Want You to Want Me could symbolize the monster’s longing but also Coco Chanel’s love for a Nazi Officer:

  Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying
  Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying?
  I want you to want me
  I need you to need me
  I'd love you to love me
  I'm begging you to beg me

It could also be about the women and men all over the globe who forgive and forget Chanel’s true past and instead love her legacy. Or it could be about the desire that the company creates for us to want to consume Chanel’s products.

More of Meehan's research for Unfashioned Creatures is available here.

Police officer is cross examined for a felony trial, the lawyer tries to undermine his credibility; The officer’s response is awesome!

This is great! I bet the lawyer didn’t see this one coming! Read below…

From Patriot Crier:

Q: “Officer — did you see my client fleeing the scene?”

A: “No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.”

Q: “Officer — who provided this description?”

A: “The officer who responded to the scene.”

Q: “A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?”

A: “Yes, sir. With my life.”

Q: “With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?”

A: “Yes sir, we do!”

Q: “And do you have a locker in the room?”

A: “Yes sir, I do.”

Q: “And do you have a lock on your locker?”

A: “Yes sir.”

Q: “Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?”

A: “You see, sir — we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.”

Oh I would have loved to have been in that courtroom…I do not hate most attorneys, but what this one did was just wrong and he got exactly what he deserved. Good for that officer…he’s got my vote!!!!

Some lawyers are lower on the popularity pole only to politicians. Both are money sucking liars and legal thief’s.

Old Siam, Sir

Old Siam Sir paulmccartney.filminspector.com
The sleeve for the "Old Siam, Sir" single features a fried egg.

Paul McCartney tries out his "Coming Up" voice on "Old Siam, Sir" and it works. This is the lead single (released one week prior to the album) from the 1979 "Back to the Egg" album. While "Back to the Egg" has a sketchy reputation with many Wings fans, "Old Siam, Sir" is considered by many to be the best track on it. Parlophone/EMI released "Old Siam, Sir" on 1 June 1979 in the United Kingdom, backed with "Spin it On." The single only hit No. 35 in the United Kingdom and No. 29 in Ireland, essentially closing out Wings' storied career there (with the exception of some quasi-Wings releases such as "Wonderful Christmastime" and the live version of "Coming Up"). In the United States, "Old Siam, Sir" (combined with "Arrow Through Me," which actually was the "A" side there) peaked at No. 29, also a fairly disappointing result after the great success of "Goodbye Tonight."

Old Siam Sir paulmccartney.filminspector.com

For some reason, the single sleeve features a fried egg at the center. The drummer is Steve Holly, who just happened to live in a village where Denny Laine moved in the 1970s and auditioned in the basement of Paul's London offices at Soho Square. Holly was hired after playing for a couple of hours and first played on "With A Little Luck." Incidentally, the cover of "Back to the Egg" was photographed by John Shaw of Hipgnosis. Linda McCartney came up with the album title. Paul hired Keff and Co. to film a set of promotional films for "Back to the Egg," and the songs are best remembered by those films now.

Lyrics to "Old Siam, Sir":
In a village in
Old Siam Sir
Lived a lady
Who lost her way
In an effort
To find a man, sir
She found herself
In the old U.K.
*She waited round
In Walthamstow
She scouted round
In Scarborough
In a village
In old East Ham sir
She met a fellow
Who made her reel
Took her rushes
To show his mam Sir
Met his dad
At the wedding meal
In a letter from
Old Siam Sir
Came a terrible
Tale of woe
She decided
The only answer
Was to get up
A pile of dough
When a relative
Told her man sir
He directed her
Not to stay
In a village in
Old Siam Sir
Lives a lady
Who lost her way
**In a village in
Old Siam Sir
Lived a lady
Who lost her way
In an effort to
Find her man sir
She found herself in
The old U.K.
Repeat *
Repeat **

Virtual Reality is a hot topic in the market right now and rightly so as it provides the visual representation of the possible reality or imagination. We at Perimeter 9, thought about how can we extract meaningful information that can be represented into something that can be visualized. Our clients, Cedarglen Homes and Cedarglen Living took part in this. We analyzed their data and their requirements for showhomes. Extracting the information from their data, we glued the pieces required to build a showhome and different models and we came up with the idea of creating an application that will represent a virtual showhome. We collected all the different model’s data and converted to information as per our client’s current requirements and were able to represent in a standalone application that once installed on your mobile device, can provide you a virtual view of the house as if you are looking at it when it is ready for possession.

Our Virtual Showhome applications provided our client with a huge support especially at this time when it is hard to spend millions of dollars just to build showhomes. They were able to make great use of this application to show the different house models to the customers without building them. Moreover, the application is free to download so the interested person can download and install the application on the mobile device and take it with them anywhere and show it to their family members and decide as per their liking. Once installed, it does not need internet access so you can use it anywhere. The application works on iOS, Android and Windows platform and it is free to install. For more information and demo of one of the pieces of the application, you can check out 3D spherical. You can also download and install through iTunes and Google Play.

We are working on some more cool things to solve the problems of building and construction industry. This application is just one thing. To know more about the application and other cool things we are working on keep following our blog. You can always contact us at
