LET THE BUYER BEWARE! Here is just a few complaints over a 2 MONTH PERIOD! WORDS TALK LOUDER!
1."My son asked me if the lamp was bought from garage sale. "Sorry
Son, I bought a new one for U, but it came with many scratches." "Mr.
Manager Jay, it's been 3 weeks and where's the replacement you promised
to send?" Since I didn't feel your sincerity on the phone, I am not
surprised I didn't receive it. I won't be able to give U a good review
as what you have requested." Rated by Buyer: jujubee
product as discribed recieved a lesser version contacted seller about ad
said that i did not read ad correctly sent a copy of add that discribed
the product as advertized . the next time i went to his sight the add
was reworded. he said i could return the product. i did not want to add
more cost to this deal so i kept the item and ordered all the parts from
another supplier." Rated by Buyer: Craig
ordered solar panels, charge controllers, cables and connectors over 1
1/2 months ago, and my system is still NOT WORKING!This seller has THE
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! When you PROMISE your customer that a item will
be shipped and it isn't..and THEN WON'T ANSWER PHONE CALLS & EMAILS!
I had the seller inspect the install...NO PROBLEMS...the PROBLEM is
with the SELLER! HORRIBLE!" Rated by Buyer: Kenny
4."Original light
was on time. Hired an electrician. Light defective. Followed the return
policy. New light never came. Had to make 3 calls. Finally got word that
it had been re-shipped. Still isn't here. I'll wait until Monday, May 2
and then start the process again. This $30 light has become very
expensive. $50 for electrician and $10 to return it. Electrician has to
come back!!! Yikes "Rated by Buyer: sandy k
5."Shipping Charge is
Way to High. I get a larger pkg. from China for less and receive it
faster. Also noticed actual shipping cost to you is Half of what I was
Charged?? Profit on Shipping????"Rated by Buyer: John F.
product arrive within the time frame, but I was surprised it took about 1
month from date date of ordering" Rated by Buyer: Forceman Y.
wish I could have cancelled the order after waiting so long to receive
it. The light is very "plastic" and there were many scratches on the
product, but it's good enough for work."Rated by Buyer: Nancy L Beatty
are on backorder but geez! Today is the deadline for delivery and if I
don't get the lamp by TODAY I will be demanding a refund. It's funny
that I ordered a SAD lamp in winter and MIGHT receive it by summer.
lol"Rated by Buyer: Stephanie R.
9. "It was broken" Rated by Buyer: Misha D.
was defective and was returned to seller. It took seller more than 6
weeks to process the replacement"Rated by Buyer: Moon P. Lew
arrived right away, but packaging was poor, and the bulb was broken
when I removed the lamp from the box. The item seemed to have been
unpacked and hurriedly repacked prior to shipping - the cord was not
contained or in its plastic bag (the bag was enclosed). It took several
emails to Amazon customer service to resolve the issue. Extremely
disappointing service." Rated by Buyer: Kristin E.
12."Item arrived
and worked for five minutes. Tried replacement bulb and it still did not
work. Was virtually impossible to get a hold of the seller after their
initial e-mail that said "we'll send you another bulb for the lamp." It
took five weeks to finally get them on the phone. They have promised to
e-mail today the information for the return which we have, as of yet,
not received."Rated by Buyer: Samuel T.
13."This company should be
removed from Aamazon. I emailed for a damaged lamp delivery on 2/3.
Jay/Owner offered me a refund & suggested to buy a bulb and keep the
unit.- sounded nice! But I did not receive refund immediately. I
emailed for it on 2/18 & 2/25, and there were no reply. I called him
on 2/28 and got it except shipping charge. I guess he waited for me to
forget it. Nasty and dishonest!. " Rated by Buyer: Suk L.

|Above, the BBC Ems loaded 800 tons of heavy fuel oil at the Murphy Oil Fuel Dock at the Port Terminal on Saturday. That was the largest order Murphy Oil has ever filled at their Duluth dock. With 22 wind turbine blades on their top deck, the heavy fuel oil will give the ship better stability on the trip to Spain. Murphy started fueling at 12:45 Saturday afternoon and completed around 6:30 in the evening. All 800 tons were pushed through the dangling hose you can see in the picture. It took about 32 trips with their fuel trucks from their Superior terminal to Duluth to match the fuel going into the ship. The BBC Ems left last night. Two thousand footers are due this morning to load coal and the Canadian flagged and not so long Algolake will be here in the afternoon to do the same but will be third in line probably not getting to the dock until Monday.

BBC Ems
BBC Ems loads wind turbine blades
|Ballast tanks, filled with water, provide stability to a ship. Fuel is a liquid that also provides stability. When the BBC Ems completes loading wind turbine blades later today, it will move over to the Murphy Oil Fuel Dock to take on about 800 tons of heavy oil fuel. That will take the Fuel Dock about 7 or 8 hours. This is the largest order that Murphy has filled since they opened their Duluth operation in 1998. The reason, other than the fact the ship needs fuel to operate, is the cargo they are taking from Duluth to Spain. Wind turbine blades by their very nature are built to catch wind, and the top deck will carry 24 of the 44 blades they will load. Wind turbine blades are made of fiberglass and are hollow; together, they weigh only 264 metric tons, no where close to the 60,000 tons that the big coal boats carry or even the 25,000 tons or more that salt water ships loading grain carry. In the picture, some of the first blades were lowered into the lowest deck of the ship on Friday. You can see the hatch cover at the right center of the picture is up so the blades can be lowered into the ship. When the lower holds are filled, the hatch covers will be closed, forming the top or weather deck of the ship where the last 24 blades will sit. Photo taken on November 23, 2007

Rocking out for Mick Jagger's 70th? Not for bandmate Keith Richards, who skips party to catch up on beauty sleep
In their wild youth, a birthday celebration might have lasted for days.
But the Rolling Stones seemed happy to take things gently at a bash to mark Mick Jagger's 70th on Saturday night.
The rockers partied at the Loulou private members club in Mayfair, but had all left by the relatively early time of 1.35am.
Arriving: Sir Mick Jagger and L'Wren Scott looked happy and excited to be arriving at his early 70th birthday party at Loulou's in Mayfair last night
Birthday boy: Sir Mick impressed with his tailored maroon suit and partner L'Wren looked stunning in a red dress and strappy heels
Still jumping and flash: Mick donned a maroon suit for his 70th birthday celebrations
The rockers partied at the Loulou private members club in Mayfair, but had all left by the relatively early time of 1.35am.
Perhaps they were tired after performing to crowds in Hyde Park earlier in the evening at the end of their 50th anniversary tour.
And Keith Richards, 69, didn't even make it to the party. He was seen being guided into a hotel after the gig – wearing his dressing gown.
Bedtime? Keith Richards wore a dressing gown back to his hotel
Jagger, the hellraiser turned knight of the realm, was in more of a mood to celebrate, bopping on the dance floor in a maroon suit and trainers.
Meanwhile Ronnie Wood, 66, had a helping hand from his wife Sally Humphries, 35, as he left the venue for a cigarette.
Wood was the first to leave, at 1.15am, followed by Watts five minutes later. Jagger lasted longest, leaving at 1.35am.
Sisters: Jade Jagger (left) dressed smart for her dad's party in tailored shorts and crochet top whilst Elizabeth (right) wore a more daring outfit in purple velvet trousers and fuschia top
Model behavior: Georgia May Jagger looked every inch a model in a tiny tie-dye dungaree tracksuit and black platform pumps
Mick looked effortlessly dapper in a maroon blazer jacket with black lapels, a crisp white shirt, dark maroon velvet trousers and running trainers.
His partner, L'Wren, 46, looked stunning in red, wearing a patterned knee-length red frock, strappy red shoes and drop pendant earrings.
She wore her long raven locks down and tousled, the pair looked elated as they showed up together outside the venue in the taxi.
Perfect pair: Ronnie Wood and Sally Humphries were dressed to the nines as they turned up for Sir Mick's early birthday bash
Among the family members who attended Sir Mick's exclusive party were children Jade, James, Elizabeth and Georgia May, granddaughter Amba Jackson and long-term partner L'Wren Scott.
Jewellery designer, Jade, 41, looked as fashionable as ever, wearing a tailored black suit with shorts, exposing her trim and tanned legs, a white crochet long-sleeved top and a pair of turquoise strap kitten heels embellished with a pink flower.
Model, Elizabeth, 29, opted for a more eye-catching ensemble, in a Fuchsia chiffon blouse and garish purple velvet trousers, completing the outfit with a pair of simple black lace-up shoes.
A good night? Model Suki Waterhouse looked a little dishevelled as she left LouLous after the star-studded bash
Effortlessly chic: The British beauty looked great in a patterned multi-colour mini-dress, which she teamed with a leather jacket and grungy boots
Homeward bound: The girlfriend of Bradley Cooper was accompanied by a friend as she made her way out of the venue
Georgia May dressed casually for the occasion in a small red crop top, tie-dye dungaree shorts with a paisley print on the front panel and finished the outfit with a pair of black platform trainers.
The 21-year-old model left her blonde locks down and looked naturally cool, holding a pair of round sunglasses and a white rose.
Her brother James, 27, the frontman for punk band Turbogeist,also turned up to the London club looking smart-casual in a pair of dark denim jeans, and a silk short-sleeve printed purple shirt.
Granddaughter Amba Jackson, 17, smiled for the cameras as she was spotted smoking outside Loulou's in a green jumper, black skirt, ripped black tights and killer platforms embellished with spiky heels.
In came the family: James Jagger (left) rocked up to the do looking relaxed in jeans and trainers with a rucksack over his shoulder, whilst Sir Mick's granddaughter Amba Jackson (right) takes after her grandad sporting a rock chick look in spiky heels
Adding to the list of celebrities who joined in with the celebrations were Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick, Ronnie Wood's son Tyrone Wood, actress Jaime Winstone and her actor boyfriend Alfie Allen, actress Alice Eve, and not forgetting Mick's bandmate, drummer Charlie Watts.
Although Sir Mick does not officially turn 70 until July 26, he nevertheless saw the end of The Stones' 50 & Counting tour as the perfect way to celebrate reaching the landmark age.
All the attendees looked to be suitably merry and partied-out as the evening played out.
Strike a pose: Daphne Guinness striked a pose (right) as she turned up to the party in a tight black dress, gold shimmer stockings and purple glitter platforms
I'm so cool: Actress Jaime Winstone decided on a pair of denim hotpants, black and white striped shirt, white pumps whilst wearing a pair of shades, while Ed Westwick wore red trousers
Dazzling: Alice Eve dazzled in a long yellow dress and kitten heels as she attended the party with her new boyfriend
Chic: Kim Cattrall looked chic in a black knee-high dress with different coloured prints and flat pointed shoes, and The Stones drummer looked dapper in a cream suit and white shirt
Bit of a commotion: Suki Waterhouse was seen outside Loulou's for Sir Mick Jagger's birthday

It's restaurant-quality food that's easy on the wallet. Cafe Maiz is the eighth eatery in the historic El Cholo family of restaurants that started in 1927. I ordered the chicken chimichanga – visualize the Mexican version of a giant eggroll. It was stuffed with tender chicken pieces, green pepper, and cheese. The outer layer of the wrap flaked upon touch and it was crunchy while underneath it was a thin layer of a doughy texture. A good combination! The chimichanga was served with beans, Mexican rice, a sour cream and guacamole on the side. The smoky-flavored beans paired with green peppers in the chimichanga makes it a dish to savor. On a second visit, a to-go order of Roberto's nachos topped with beans, cheese, and fresh jalapenos was satisfying. It's large enough to share with two co-workers for an afternoon munch.
Walking into the eatery, I was greeted with a smile by the cashier who after learning it was my first visit, introduced me to each item on the menu. The food was delivered to the table within minutes. Workers were helpful and quick in responding to requests.
Customers have the option of sitting in a booth or a table. During my lunch, sunlight was flooding through the windows. Mission-style furniture paired with antiqued chairs in all colors, desert plants, and eclectic quotes painted on the patio beams gives the eatery personality.
27567 Puerta Real, Mission Viejo
Hours:Open daily, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Price range:$6.75 to $9.75 for an entrée
Web site:www.cafemaiz.com

Monday through Thursday the eatery's happy hour is from 4 to 7 p.m. Customers get a free taquitos or nachos with the purchase of a margarita or bucket of coronitas.

An exciting, sweeping thriller of romance and suspense, Reneta's Story is the latest novel in the "Elusive Love & Moonbeams" series by popular novelist Diane L. Krueger. See why the critics love Ms. krueger's novels as you discover her gift for telling an unforgettable story. Elusive Love and Moonbeams: Reneta's Story takes up where Donna's Story leaves off – Donna suffers a heart attack, and Michael, who was planning to surprise her on Valentine's Day, arrives to find her lying unconscious on the floor. The shock of his near loss forces Michael to acknowledge just how precious Donna is to him, and he determines to divorce his wife so that he and Donna can finally be together. Michael's wife, Reneta, has always been suspicious and possessive, but now her behavior becomes even more erratic. She has recently reconnected with her college roommate, Alicia, who has just divorced her husband and is eager to play the New York singles scene. Alicia convinces Reneta to try their old college trick of switching identities; with makeovers and matching outfits, the two women are practically indistinguishable. Michael knows he needs to be patient and wait for the right moment to announce his intention to file for divorce, or he might jeopardize his future with Donna. When Michael finally tells Reneta, she becomes hysterical. She leaves a message on Alicia's answering machine saying that she's headed for the George Washington Bridge. Alicia rushes to the bridge, where she finds Reneta clinging to the edge. The two women struggle, and one of the identically dressed bodies falls to the river below. Michael identifies the recovered body as Reneta's. Is Reneta really dead? Or – Could Reneta be alive? Either way, Reneta's Story is far from over.

– 8. 30 am Pick up at your hotel
– Enjoy Coffee and Juice with the best view of the Saigon skyline
– Head to a local wet market in District 4 – experience the sights and sounds (and smells!)
– Take a tour of the Cathedral and Post office – classic colonial architecture
– Head into Chinatown to visit one of the oldest pagodas in HCMC
– Go for lunch to sample some amazing Vietnamese food
– 12. 30 pm Say goodbye and drop off at your hotel
Sometimes when traveling it's great to go it alone, take the bus, discover and maybe even get a little lost. Sometimes it's better to go with a local, not just to stop you from getting lost but also to find the hidden spots and better understand what on earth is going on. If you are visiting Saigon consider what taking a Saigon Tour can give you over showing yourself around.
Saigon Tour – Your tour buddy will guide you effortlessly through the bustling Saigon traffic. We start off by taking in the best view of the city skyline as we introduce ourselves and sip freshly squeezed juices in a great location off the tourist trail. We go on to see some beautiful and historic colonial architecture before setting off for a local wet market. This is a truly unique experience as we join locals shopping and see all kinds of exotic offerings – at the markets, we will have time to sample a variety of fresh fruits and try delicious fresh coconut water. Our Saigon Discovery Tour buddies will be on hand to show and explain all the amazing sights and sounds. After the market, we experience the atmosphere of a fascinating centuries-old pagoda shrouded in incense – a great time to pause and reflect away from the bustle of the city. Then it's time for lunch where we will go to a local restaurant to try some exquisite Vietnamese food. After lunch, we take you back to your hotel and say our goodbyes.

Q: Why did you join Eta Mu in the first place?
A: My sister was an Alpha Gam. So, on several visits to Eastern while still in high school, I met a number of the Sigma Chis and experienced the "Old Red Barn". I was hooked. Having met the caliber of guys I had, Sigma Chi was the only fraternity I visited and I pledged first semester freshman year.
Q: What's your favorite memory from the chapter?
A: I have many amazing memories from the Eta Mu chapter. First and foremost is the greatest inspiration week and initiation I could possibly imagine. There are still key moments of the experience that are so vivid and meaningful to me. I will never forget them. Thanks to all of you who had gone before me for creating such a rich experience. My other memories are all based around the "Old Red Barn". What a mess, but what a great place all at the same time.
Q: Do you still keep in touch with any of your brothers? Who?
A: It gets hard to keep in touch as everyone spreads out around the country. That's why I love getting your e-mails to catch up with what's happening. I do still keep in touch with Jim Haut, one of my pledge brothers. I also see Ryan Shone at family gatherings, since he married one of my wife's cousins. One of my son's best friends is a Sigma Chi from Valparaiso University. He recently got married and I loved meeting about 30 new Sigma Chi brothers. We got to sing the "Sweetheart Song". I was surprised how much of it came back to me, but kneeling at the end is harder than it used to be!
Q: Tell us about your career.
A: My degree from Eastern was in Technology Education. I taught for nine years in three different schools. Then, as the Internet and technology access in school grew, I became the Technology Director in Salt Creek School District. While doing that, I earned by Master's in Educational Administration. Now, since 1998, I have been the Principal of Albright Middle School in District 48, serving the communities of Villa Park, Oak Brook, Oakbrook Terrace and a small part of Elmhurst, Illinois. I am scheduled to retire at the end of the 2019 school year, when I will start a new life all over again.
Q: How did your time in Eta Mu help to prepare you for that role?
A: I help to develop young people into men and women every day. I have students in my school for four years (5th - 8th grade). I truly believe that Sigma Chi prepared me to understand what it means to be a person of good character and a student of fair ability while having ambitious purposes, a congenial disposition, good morals, a sense of honor and a deep sense of personal responsibility. I teach these very same lessons to my students as often as possible.
Q: Tell us about your family and hobbies.
A: I am so lucky to have married my high school sweetheart and first love, Jody. We will be celebrating our 30th anniversary this coming June. After being married for three years we were blessed to two awesome sons—Brian, who is 25, and Brad, who is 22. Brian attended Concordia University Wisconsin where he played basketball and graduated with a Business degree. Having fallen in love with the area just north of Milwaukee and a young lady from Door County, he has remained in Wisconsin and is now working in sales for US Foods in the suburbs north of Milwaukee. Brad also attended Concordia University Wisconsin and graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice and Public Policy. He is now looking for a job as a Police Officer in the Chicago area suburbs.
Q: What advice would you give to future Eta Mu members?
A: Truly enjoy and absorb the Sigma Chi experience to its fullest extent. By that I mean, you should enjoy the social aspects of the Eta Mu Chapter. Enjoy the brotherhood of intramural sports, Derby Days, Tug-of-War and chapter meetings. But, most importantly, absorb the true meaning of Sigma Chi. My pledging experience and my initiation into Sigma Chi really did change my life. Not a day goes by that I don't repeat the Jordan Standards or the Charge in my head. I have shared things like "The Man in the Glass" or "Let George Do It" a countless number of times with my staff and students who need a new perspective on things. I have been very fortunate and could not have asked for more out of life. I truly believe that is because "I AM" a Sigma Chi.
Let me end by telling you a quick story. Upon my graduation from EIU I purchased a Sigma Chi ring. I wore it almost every day as a constant reminder to me about what I am representing and how I wanted to live my life.
About four years ago, I left it at home one Saturday night when I went to Benedictine University for one of my son's basketball games. Upon returning home, we found that our home had been burglarized. As we surveyed the damage and inventoried our losses, I noticed that my Sigma Chi ring and pin were gone. Upon noticing that, my wife said to me, "You asked me to bury you with both of those on." I had forgotten I had said that, but her mentioning that reminded me that I had indeed made that request. Well, I decided at the time that maybe I should just let it go. That was college, it was 28 years ago and we had more important things that had to be replaced. For the next 12 to 14 months I missed that ring every day. I realized how important it was to me. I couldn't take it anymore. So, I finally ordered another one. I was 51 years old and ordering a college fraternity ring. This was the best decision I ever made, besides asking my wife to marry me. I am now, once again, proudly wearing it every day and love it.
In Hoc,
Scott Jackson, Eta Mu Class of 1986

Restoring system problems
I've been trying to restore my system to an earlier point, but whenever I try it says I've got an anti-virus program that's stopping it. I've got AVG, but that's just the free edition. The only one with a firewall I've got is Norton 360, but I can't seem to find a way to turn it off. Is it Norton? If so, how do I turn it off so I can do a systems restore?

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Hi Chips,
If you open up Norton there should be an option to turn off 'real-time protection' or you should have the same option if you right-click the notification icon in the bottom right corner.
Hope this helps
|My System Specs
|14 Sep 2010
Windows 7 Ultimate X64 SP1
Hi Chips, this can be fixed quite easily
Basically, the only way to really turn them off is to uninstall them.
However, you don't need to do that. If you want to System Restore, then simply do it from Safe Mode. Spam F5 as your PC boots, until you get a screen that says "pick an operating system to boot" then press F8 and select "Safe Mode" (NOT any of the "with networking" etc. just Safe Mode) and do the system restore from there.
Neither your AV or your Firewall will start in Safe Mode, so they can't interfere.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
You're running AVG and Norton?
Norton hates another scanner running along side, and it can cause many issues.
But, this is true for a large majority of other AVs as well.
Get rid of one of them, and use only one.
I would keep Norton and get rid of AVG personally, but it is a personal preference so whichever you prefer. But only use 1.
You'll actually have better protection if they aren't fighting each other.
Norton shouldn't interfere with a system restore. But in case it is, if you right click thr Norton icon in your task bar you'll get these options.

|27 Sep 2010
Thanks for your help. I left it for a while 'cause I didn't have a recent restore point, but today I had another lock-up so I had a go using Safe Mode. Thankfully I had a more recent restore point this time. This time it failed first try by succeeded the second time.

Hello Chips.
The method in this tutorial at the link below will make system restore points available from whenever the PC is started or re-started and there's an option to create a shortcut for the desktop so system restore points can be created with 1 click whenever you like.
Be sure to post back with any questions and to keep us informed.
System Restore Point : Create at System Startup

I would unintall Norton and AVG and run a lightweight free AV like the one most recommended here MS Security Essentials. It works perfectly with the Win7 firewall.
New OS, new tools and applications which keep it lean and mean.

Direct intracerebroventricular injection of angiotensin II causes increases in blood pressure, salt and water intake, presumably mimicking an effect mediated by an endogenous mechanism. The subfornical organ (SFO) is a potential source of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) angiotensin-I (Ang-I) and angiotensin-II (Ang-II), and thus we hypothesized that the SFO has a secretory function. Endogenous levels of angiotensinogen (AGT) and renin are very low in the brain. We therefore examined the immunohistochemical localization of angiotensin peptides and AGT in the SFO, and AGT in the CSF in two transgenic models over-expressing either human AGT (A+ mice), or both human AGT and human renin (SRA mice) in the brain. Measurements were made at baseline and following volumetric depletion of CSF. Ultrastructural analysis with immunoelectron microscopy revealed that superficially located Ang-I/Ang-II and AGT immunoreactive cells in the SFO were vacuolated and opened directly into the ventricle. Withdrawal of CSF produced an increase in AGT in the CSF which was accompanied by a large decline in AGT immunoreactivity within SFO cells. Our data provide support for the hypothesis that the SFO is a secretory organ releasing AGT and possibly Ang-I/Ang-II into the ventricle at least under conditions when renin-angiotension system genes are overexpressed in mice.

The World Bank says the East Asia and Pacific region has produced its strongest economic performance since its financial crisis seven years ago.
In its annual report on the global economy, released Tuesday, the World Bank said gross domestic product in eastern Asia has increased by almost eight percent for the second year in a row.
Much of that growth has been led by China, followed by Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
The report says output in the region is expected to slow somewhat in the next couple of years due in part to a decrease in foreign trade. But experts say if Asia's growth continues as predicted, Africa may replace Asia as the region with the most poor people in the world.

Tata Communications, Anbieter von Kommunikationslösungen, hat die Übernahme von BitGravity, einem preisgekröntes Content Delivery Netzwerk, abgeschlossen. BitGravity wird Teil von Tata Communications Ltd. und wird als Tochtergesellschaft auftreten. Perry Wu wird nach der Akquisition weiterhin dem bereits bestehenden Team vorstehen. Es wird von San Francisco aus mit dem globalen CDN-Team von Tata Communications zusammenarbeiten.
Mumbai, India, 16 February 2011 - Tata Communications, a leading provider of the new world of communications, today announces the completion of its acquisition of BitGravity, an award winning content delivery network (CDN). BitGravity will join Tata Communications Ltd. and will integrate as a Tata Communications operating business subsidiary. Perry Wu will continue to lead the existing team, who will remain after the acquisition. They will operate from San Francisco in conjunction with Tata Communications" global CDN team.
The acquisition, initially announced on 11 January 2011, complements Tata Communications" global media and enterprise strategy. It will add enhanced CDN and streaming capabilities to its growing line-up of value-added hosting, storage, and security services, all of which leverage Tata Communications" global IP network. The addition of BitGravity"s product portfolio and its employee skill set will further accelerate the delivery of new features and services to Tata Communications" customers.
"With this acquisition, we are able to combine our global infrastructure with BitGravity"s CDN technology and infrastructure to create a larger global footprint and a more efficient cost base. This will provide enhanced content delivery services that further address the needs of media and enterprise businesses" says Genius Wong, Senior Vice President, Global Network Services, Tata Communications.
"There are a number of strong synergies between Tata Communications and BitGravity. As a single entity, we can utilize the best network path within Tata Communications" Global IP network, allowing the organization to further differentiate itself in a noisy, global marketplace. We are looking forward to joining the Tata Communications team together with the exciting opportunities that this deal brings to the industry" says Perry Wu, CEO and co-founder of BitGravity.
In 2008, Tata Communications entered into a strategic alliance with BitGravity that included the licensing of BitGravity"s CDN technology and the federation of BitGravity"s and Tata Communications" delivery networks. The company also made a strategic investment of $11.5 million in BitGravity, enabling Tata Communications to enter the market with its own global CDN in 2008. This resulted in successful traction with high profile media, content and gaming companies in Europe, Asia and India such as NDTV, Web18, Quick Heal Technologies and Nimbus Communications. The decision to wholly purchase BitGravity was a logical next step to further enhance Tata Communications" global CDN offering.
Tata Communications will execute the integration of the two companies" products, customers and employees with immediate effect to ensure a smooth transition that will deliver instantaneous value for customers, partners and investors.

1954 Beechview
Posted in the Oakland Forum
United States
#1 Jan 19, 2009
In 1954, I was 16, and a juvenile delinquent, hanging out at Babe's restaurant, John's Drug Store, and generally, the streets of Beechview, just making an annoying nuisance of myself. Went to St. Catherine's School, of course. Anyone still around from that era? Can't believe I'm 71 now, and living in Colorado
#2 Jan 27, 2010
Hi Dan:
I grew up in the 70's in Beechview and still live in the house I grew up in. It was my grandparents.. Beechview is not what it once was and although I am only 38 now, it is sad to see what our beloved neighborhood has become... I remember being able to buy a card and wrapping paper in Johns and the 5 and dime store and have many happy memories here... I wish we could go back to 1954 I would go and I would be friends with that delinquent..:)
United States
#3 Feb 26, 2010
Hi. Thanks for your response... Sorry I took so long to answer, but I had just about given up on anyone responding. I was in Beechview again in 2005 and you're right, it has changed. Seems like a lot of the old places closed, and I think the nature of the population has changed. I lived on Methyl Street, within walking distance of Murray's 5 and 10, Johns Drug Store and all of the other places on Broadway and Beechview Ave. As a kid, I used to ride my sled in the winter all the way down to Banksville, and trudge all the way back up the hill. Street cars ran during that time, and I think it was 10 cents to ride downtown to Smithfield St where the department stores were. The house I lived in on Methyl St is still standing but seems to have deteriorated. Time takes it's toll, and we can never go back, but the memories are always there. If you see old-timers walking around Beechview now, they are probably friends I used to hang around with then. Time goes by.
#4 May 29, 2010
Well, how about that!!!! I, perhaps, might have been your paper boy if you got the morning newspaper delivered, or, on a holiday like Memorial Day, on Broadway selling a hundred extra copies of newspapers to get a free Pirate ballgame ticket. I was collecting money for papers when I was told Kennedy was shot in Texas.
I almost got killed on in my truck on Coast Ave when my brakes went out, turning down Coast from Broadway.
At least I got a very good education there.
My sister and her husband bought a house a block from where we were born, and lived there till last year, but did finally sell and retired to Arizona.
#5 Jun 6, 2010
Hi Guys -- 1954 was the year we moved to Dagmar Avenue in Beechview. Before that we lived on Rockland Avenue for 9 or 10 years. I loved growing up there, and am still in PA, but on the southeast part of the state. We moved to Phila. in early 60's. I haven't been back to Pgh. for ten years now. I have no relatives there, unfortunately, but still have friends I grew up with who I stay with when I do come back. Went to Beechwood grade school, then St. Catherine's from 5th through 8th (transferred from Beechwood because of Miss Gier..remember her?)... and I graduated from South Hills High. I had Don Hoak run down 5th Ave after me when I was about 18 years old... That was the year the Pirates won. I knew who he was because I was a baseball fan, and was frozen at his interest, but got on my 42 Dormont Streetcar anyway (while he begged me not to) and left him there.(Like the good kid my mother taught me to be..Dammit! lol) Him and a couple other players were "hanging out" in front of some bar up the street from 5th & Smithfield streetcar stop), and I was leaving my office. Yes I remember John's Drug Store, Babe's, the 5&10, the Beechview movie,(and bowling alley downstairs where my mother used to bowl with her friends)... Does anyone remember me, or my sister, Margie?
United States
#6 Aug 8, 2010
Hi, Bill and Pat..and Margie. Your names do sound familiar, especially Pat, who was most likely there at the same time I was. I do remember the Beechview theater, and at that time admission was 17 cents. And the bowling alleys downstairs. Downstairs from Babes, across the street, was Pop Gill's bowling alleys, and as a teenager, I set up pins there for 10cents a line. Remember how it was before automatic pin setters? Pat, I also went to St. Catherines school from 1st to 8th grade, and graduated from South Hills High School. The scariest thing about St. Catherines was Sister Gerard. And, speaking of selling newspapers, does anyone remember Sluggo, the guy who sold papers at a stand next to the street car stop? A lot of unusual characters in Beechview back then.
After high school, I spent 22 years in the US Air Force, and retired, but never went back to Pittsburgh, except to visit family.
I have also had some close calls on Coast Ave. and it seemed to be almost a vertical street. I had to go down there and then right onto Methyl St. where I lived.
#7 Aug 8, 2010
Dan - I remember John's Drug Store had the best, biggest ice cream cones! The "real" milkshakes, and we would sit on the stools and order a milkshake, or a coke with bag of potato chips. lol
I remember the name "Murray"'s 5 & 10 now that you mention it! It was sort of old inside with hardwood floors, and had some interesting things in there, but not a lot of stuff--nothing like today where everything is TOO much. I loved Beechview. We were probably in St. Catherine's together. lol I was there from 5th through 8th grade. I used to RUN home at lunchtime and RUN all the way back. We lived on Rockland Ave...way up the hill... and that was a LONG run... I didn't have much time to eat lunch once I got home! Then somewhere they "allowed" us to bring our lunch in a brown bag. Remember the "cloak room"? That's where the lunches would be stored, and I remember the sound of the milk being delivered. I was always soooo hungry by lunchtime! Don't think I had breakfast ALL of the time,. We were kids...what do we remember about things like that?
I remember Babes was a place I wouldn't cross the street to walk past! lol Lots of "older" guys used to hang out there, and I was shy, believe it or not!
What year did you graduate? I was 17 when I graduated from South Hills in June of 58... not turning 18 until December... I had my first full time job at age 17 for an insurance company as a group insurance claims adjustor AND a secretary to the manager and ass't manager. Back then they got their money's worth!! lol -- Job was in the "Farmers Bank Building" downtown. It was a great job for a young girl..and a great boss.
United States
#8 Aug 9, 2010
Hi, Pat. That's fascinating. I graduated from South Hills in 1957, so you would have been right behind me. OF course, "The Cloak Room!" at St. Catherines, where we kept the brown bag lunches and we had the choice of white or chocolate milk. And when the day was over, we got in lines to leave the school, one line going in the direction of Dormont and the other toward Beechview. How about that long walk in the winter to get to school? Here's a couple more places: Bards and Isaly's where the ice cream was also wonderful. And the bakery where you could get a dozen cinnamon rolls for 35 cents. Actually, I was one of those guys you avoided at Babe's where I usually hung around at the railing. But I never bothered anyone, and tried to think of myself as a nice kid. If you worked downtown, you probably took the 42 dormont and it might have cost about 10 cents each way, Going downtown was a big thing then, especially going to Kaufmans and Gimbels on Smithfield Street. I loved those street cars, across the bridge, thought he tunnel. Remember the grocery store next to Murrays? I used to work there as a very young kid, delivering groceries in a cart around the neighborhood. Last time I was there, in 2007, people still said things like, "yinz" and "dahntahn". So many fun things to remember.

Yes, I remember that long walk in the winter with the howling wind sometimes, and I would be "in fear" of this one kid who used to throw snowballs across the street at me while trying to walk home. Sometimes they were actually iceballs!!
We used to go to Isaly's as a special treat after Sunday mass at St. Paul's Cathedral, instead of St. Catherine's. Mostly we went to St. Catherine's but dad and mom took us to the gorgeous cathedral (sp)sometimes,...and then Isaly's I would get orange sherbert & chocolate! TWO scoops sometimes. But we didn't have to worry, there was never an ounce of fat on us from the walking, the hills AND dancing all the time! lol (I don't go to mass anymore for decades. I set myself free from the hokus pokus as to what would happen to my soul if I missed mass, etc... lol)
I used to take the 42 Dormont to South Hills ("the junction"..remember?)... and climb all those steps up to the school every day. After graduation, I still took the 42 to work every morning. I always got on and off at Fallowfield Ave. stop. It was a beautiful, 15 minute ride across bridges, through tunnels, sides of mountains, etc. right to center city's 5th & Smithfield. I didn't realize it then, but when I moved to Philadelphia it was a rude awakening! Just a long, hectic ugly trip on their "els", AND buses--emptying out at dirty terminals..always TWO modes of transportation to get to cc (bus and el),and dilapidated roof tops in a row for the "view" on the long ride. Oh well.
I remember the little store on Kenburma and Sebring when we lived on Dagmar Ave. We used to be over there all the time buying lunchmeat, etc.. There was another little store at bottom of hill when we lived on Rockland Ave, where we would walk to buy candies, pretzel sticks (1 cent?) popsicles (5 cents),etc. And straight back up the steep hill of Rockland back home with our goodies. lol
Don't forget about the "Beechview Pool", which opened in 1954-55. It was brand new and perfect for our neighborhood. They say today it's not there anymore. When I rode by Beechwood Grade School 9 years ago, it still looked good to me. I was surprised because everyone was saying Beechview went so far down.
I'm sure you and I crossed paths many a time during our years in school and growing up in Beechview. We just don't remember each other now. Tell me some names you knew from school and "Babes". lol ..and more memories of yours which reminds me of some I forgot. Like the Bakery you mentioned. That Bakery was great! lol
#10 Aug 11, 2010
Hi, Pat. If you bought lunch meat at that little store, it was probably chipped ham. Remember that? I think I know where that store was, and there were many more like that, like Olsons at Broadway and Coast. There was also a shoe repair shop near Olsons where we took our shoes to get new soles and heels. I read where Foodland has finally closed down. When I was a kid it had a different name, but I used to work there delivering groceries in a cart around the neighborhood. With the 42 Dormont, I used to get off at the stop right there by Johns Drug store, and it was just a couple of blocks to walk home from there. Down the street from Johns, as I remember, there was a Krogers grocery store, but that's long gone.
Here are the names of some of the kids I knew back then: Jack Klepeis, my best friend, he went to Beechwood school. Red Healy, the Dunn brothers, Knobby, Tommy, John, and Dennis. Joan Habush, a very attractive girl, and her friend, whose name I can't remember. She often stayed closer to Johns rather than cross the street to Babes. Steve Adrian, also went to Beechwood. The Troiani brothers, Mike, Nick, Rennie, and Julius. In school were the Marchetti triplets, Louise, Lorraine, and Leona. Also Raymond Smith, who went on to become the CEO of Northeastern Bell. One of those odd characters often seen around beechview was "Millie", an older lady who had some mental challenges, and she often stood on the corner and sang. There are many more, and as I think of them I'll let you know. And, of course, my younger sisters, Mary Lou and Patricia, and my younger brother, Terry who is still there in Brookline.
I also left the Catholic Church when I was old enough to realize how creepy it was. At St. Catherines, we always had to go to church..In the basement, remember? And Father McCann. The dark, scary basement church..I'll never forget. And, the street car stop at the "junction" where we had to climb the steps to school. I used to meet my girlfriend at that little restaurant at the junction after school.
For some reason, I don't remember the Beechview pool, and we used to go to the Dormont pool, and Dormont park to see the fireworks on the 4th of July.
I do remember Alton field that was near Alton St. and there was always a baseball game there.
So many things to say, and as I remember them, I'll let you know.
#11 Aug 11, 2010
Well, I was a bit after you, 15 years, but similar experiences. I worked for many years for the Troiani Brothers and family, at their houses, Musketeer lounge, Pilot House, the boat Pittsburgher, Guilo's, and the golf course. Jules was my boss, I loved the work I did with him and his brothers and sisters, all great folks. Jules was the best boss I ever had, never screamed at me, even when I really screwed up. I am sorry to say that Julius Troiani just passed away, which made the memories fresh. I also spent a lot of time swimming at Beechwood Pool, still swim as much as i can today.
Although I went to St. Catherine's and South Hills Catholic, I, too, left the church, I was gay and knew there is no future with them.
I travelled around the US as an electrical engineer, finally settling down in Los Angeles. I have been with my 'domestic partner' from El Salvador for 27 years. Any day now, a judge should let us know if we can finally get married here in California. A really long wait. We were the 42nd couple in California to register as 'domestic partners' when first came legal here in California.
I do not remember any 'delinquents' when i was there in the 60's, but someone did bust out my car window to get a new 8-track tape player as soon as I installed it, so I knew they were around, but hidden to me.
I will try to post some pictures on Google Maps in the next few months, and you are welcome to add your memories through pictures on Google Maps also.
#12 Aug 12, 2010
Ok guys, I wrote a nice, long email in response to both of your posts, and for some reason, it didn't take. So, I have to start over again later on.. Don't know what happened!
#13 Aug 12, 2010
Yes, that happened to me also yesterday, the window was open for several hours and the code times out later when you try to post. I was lucky, i just used the back button, what was written was still there, i cut, refreshed page, got new number code, pasted, and posted. I was lucky I did not need to rewrite. Please try again. just copy as insurance before posting.

Hi, Bill. I agree. The Troiani family were good people. Way before your time, the old man, and 2 of the sons, owned and operated several fruit and vegetable trucks that drove through various neighborhoods and sold directly from the trucks. They hired teenage kids (me) to help by loading the trucks and bringing the stuff to each home where they stopped. It was always a 12 hour day in the summer. The pay was $12.00 a week. That was ok with me. One of the brothers, Nick, had some mental problems as a result of being in WW2, but was harmless. I had also heard that Jule had died, years ago. I also remember their sister, Connie Troiani, who was a little older than me. I could only wish and dream. I think the family lived near Alton field, but not sure. I knew that the brothers went into various businesses, but that was after I left Beechview.
Seems like all of us left the Catholic church for one reason or another, and I remember their paranoid and unreasonable positions on things.
Although I graduated from South Hills high school, I spent my freshman year at St. Mary's of the Mount in Mount Washington, but transferred to South Hills the following year.
I have been following all that stuff in California, and I hope everything works out well for you.
I also had problems getting my message through yesterday and had to try several times.
Pat, keep trying. This is fun!

See that!!?? My post went through twice. Maybe it's something I'm doing wrong.
#18 Aug 12, 2010
I will try again, but it will be hard to beat what I wrote yesterday! I read it over, and loved it. I guess that's what happened Bill..it took me too long to finish it (answering phone in between, etc.)..and the code was not good anymore. It didn't say anything on the screen that I had to "try again".. everything was gone, and I never thought to try the "back arrow".
I remember Connie Troiani... she was quite a "dish". lol From what I remember that family was quiet, and darkly good looking. They certainly weren't flirts (the boys), which was nice, because they were older than us.(weren't they Dan?)
Dan, the spiced ham! Yes, absolutely. To this day, I cannot find spiced ham as delicious as it was from that little store. It was "Burkhardt's Cash Superette". Remember that? OMG, I pulled that out from the recesses of my brain somehow. It was a man and his wife that owned the store...very nice. We were always buying something in there, either for ourselves (treats), or going to the store by order of one of the parents. lol
I remember the streetcar stop at Fallowfield. Wasn't there a shoe repair little run down store right there? Those little stores practially sat on the edge of the mountain behind it, didn't they? Just little wooden structures if I recall.
I remember the name Joan Habush... but can't place why or what she looked like. My friends were Susan Nist, her sisters, Nancy (my sister's age), and Janet, the youngest sister. Toni Breda... she died at age 17 of Leukemia, an honor roll student at SHHS, and a terrific kid. We used to go to The Grove in South Hills... Tues.,Thurs.,and/orSunday nights. I loved it there, and there was NO BOOZE, which I liked. Great dancing and sound system. It was a round pavilion in south park. The Grove is STILL there, and people our age (Dan) still go there to dance on the "older folks" night. They didn't have an older folks night in the late fifties. lol
Pt 2 to follow
#19 Aug 12, 2010
Pt 2
I also went a few times to the Beechview Dance, where the movie theater was, usually held on Friday nights I think. I was friends with Joe Mazza from our school,(to this day, and he moved back to Pgh 5 years ago) and I went with Harry Hart, the kid who looked like Elvis. Also Buzzy Botula (football player in SHHS) for a little while. Another of my girlfriends when I got to the Junior year in HS was Sondra Sandroni.
Bill, do you have any friends or family still living back here? I read tonight on line that beginning August 18, you can get married in CA.!! After being together 27 years, that little piece of paper isn't the most important thing for you two, BUT it's principle! I understand. Wish you all the best for your future.
Dan. guess what? I went from St. Catherine's 8th grade, to Elizabeth Seaton All Girls HS in Brookline for the 9th grade. Just like you went to St. Mary's for 9th and then to SHHS. Man, no wonder we're messed up. lol
My parents sent my sister to Seaton (20 months older than me) first, and then me. The tuition became pretty steep as my Dad just changed companies, so they put us into SHHS... the BEST thing ever happened to me. A wayyy better school too. I loved it there...and flourished. In Eliz.Seaton they had their "favorites"-- the nuns. I was quiet & ignored I would say. Once I WALKED from Dagmar & Sebring in 90 degree heat all the way to Eliz.Seaton to be in the May Procession which they pretty much demanded to show up for... Anyhow I walked that long way in the boiling sun... only to be asked to get out of line of the procession because I had on a sleeveless dress.
I was in Choir A at SHHS.. That was my HomeRoom for 11th and 12th grade.(Mr. Crawford) For 10th I had Miss Rome for homeroom.. maybe you remember some of Choir A's performances we used to do in our auditorium. lol
Do you remember the 10cent popcorn machine inside the Beechview Theater, Dan? It was so delicious too, wasn't it? Also the spanish peanuts machine. Do you remember Donald Law from St. Catherine's Grade School? I don't know where he lived, but it wasn't our end of Beechview. It was more near the church I think. Not sure. He was my first little crush. lol Him and I met at the Sat. aftn Beechview movie once..and we actually touched baby fingers on the arm rest, and finally held hands. I remember Patricia & Patrick Reilly (twins) and Richie Fontana from St.Catherine's.
Dan do you remember the dreaded Miss Gier from Beechwood? Math teacher? Also the "candy apple" man outside Beechwood who used to sell those candy apples on a stick..and other candies. He looked like a homeless guy from my memory....like a disheveled suspicious, poor santa claus. But those candy apples were so delicious..(we had healthy immune systems I guess.)
Remember, in case you're confused,I went K through 4th at Beechwood; then 5th through 8th at St.C's. Bill, thanks so much for sharing with us, and your memories from the streets and stores, etc. I'm glad it was so special for you, as it was for us.
#20 Aug 14, 2010
Well, I did it again. Sent a long message that didn't seem to go through. I think I'll wait a while and see if it shows up, and then try again.

BOSTON As Rajon Rondo lay on the Garden floor, writhing in pain, it was hard to see that play out on Wednesday against Toronto and not have flashbacks of Game 3 of the Miami Heat playoff series when Rondo suffered a dislocated elbow and ultimately returned to the floor that same night.
The spill Rondo took in the third quarter of Boston's 96-73 win over Toronto hurt. But it wasn't anything close to the pain he experienced in dislocating his elbow last season.
"I knew what a dislocated elbow feels like," Rondo said. "It wasn't that, so I was thankful for that. But my wrist was throbbing."
Kevin Garnett was among those concerned when Rondo didn't bounce back up quickly.
"When he didn't pop right back up, it made everybody nervous; I was included," Garnett said.
Garnett was one of the first Celtics to speak with Rondo following the foul.
"Having dialogue with him, and he wasn't really having much of that it was a major concern," Garnett said.
Team officials said Rondo had X-rays taken on the wrist, and those results came back negative. Rondo is being listed as day-to-day by the Celtics.
After seeing Rondo take such a hard foul, head coach Doc Rivers didn't think he was hurt badly at first.
"I was laughing right afterwards," Rivers said. "I wasn't (concerned) at first because I thought he was trying to get the flagrant (foul call)."
He did get that call, and missed the first of his two free throws.
After the free throw attempts, Rondo left the game and did not return.
"I wanted to come back," Rondo said. "I knew we had it under control. The best thing for me to do was rest."
The C's, whose lead peaked at 22 in the third quarter, did just that as no Celtic played more than 28 minutes against the Raptors (4-11) who have now lost six straight.
Without question, the oddest part of the game statistically was Rondo becoming Paul Pierce-like with his scoring, and Pierce doing his best Rondo impersonation by racking up the assists. Rondo led all scorers with 21 points, while Pierce had eight points and a game-high seven assists.
"Paul kind of joked and told me, let's switch roles tonight," Rondo said. "He would make the plays, and I would put it in the basket. I was trying to stay aggressive the entire night. I wanted to pick and choose my spots. I think I did a good job."
Rivers has no concerns about Rondo, the co-leader in assists with Steve Nash, getting away from time to time at being primarily a playmaker.
"You want him to be aggressive most nights," Rivers said. "His assists are going to happen because he's a great passer. Tonight was just one of those nights; he was basically just scoring; wasn't getting assists. But it was good for the team."

Be A Milton Friedman Libertarian
What I am saying is that we need to be more like Milton Friedman in terms of our style and presentation of those ideas and that social agenda. This is something I heard at a fantastic speech (by George Mason University Professor of Economics Russ Roberts) this past weekend at the Students for Liberty Conference in Washington.
He said (and I am paraphrasing from memory here): "We need to be good representatives of libertarianism. Ultimately people are concerned about whether a libertarian society will be a good society, and we must show them it will be a good society by being good people. We need to be more like Milton Friedman in our presentation of libertarian ideas. Watch him speak sometime. He's always very polite, very witty, and he always smiles."
Here are some examples:

One of the true geniuses of the 20th Century... I admire him greatly, this man was as clear-thinking a visionary as could be... and always worth listening to.ReplyDelete
His smile and calm demeanor you emulate were born of great confidence, not hollow, embittered arrogance like Obama... Freidman knew what he was talking about, he knew that he knew it... and that history would support his position over the long run.
Touchdown! Featuring Friedman on your blog is always a winner. I have featured all of the videos you have here on my site in the past.ReplyDelete
In fact today, I posted a short essay in which I quote Friedman concerning inflation.
I count myself as a Friedman/Cato libertarian, and have done so for a good many years. One of my saddest days was when he passed away from this earth.
"His smile and calm demeanor you emulate were born of great confidence..." That's exactly what Friedman exudes- pure confidence. Nicely put.ReplyDelete
Grant, I remember that day too. I was in college when it happened. He will be missed, but his ideas live on.
Yes, Friedman was the greatest deliverer of libertarian thought that I have ever seen; his ability to turn someone's question on its head is just amazing. I love to watch Friedman youtube videos over and over again.ReplyDelete
I wish he were around today to talk about the policies of the present Administration and Congress.ReplyDelete
He was a great communicator of ideas; not without his problems, but solid nonetheless.ReplyDelete

You are familiar with mises.org, I presume? The open source, collected works of the Austrian economists: Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich von Hayek, Murray Rothbard, and the like, as well as the current scholars and advocates of the Austrian school of free market thought? I have been delving into the economic side of things, for wont of a politics that features man as the agent of liberty and justice that he strives to be, and myself, as a classical libertarian/"minarchist" sort (oy, labels), I have found the Austrian school to be the best informed and best equipped to answer to matters of money, market, and private property and its antecedent in natural rights and individual liberties.ReplyDelete
Hey Tracy! Thanks for commenting. I was wondering when you'd pipe in ;)ReplyDelete
Yes, I would describe myself as an Austrian more than a Friedmanite. I love Friedman, but I'm closer to Hayek. If you click the link in the sidebar to the Top 100 Libertarian blogs and websites, Mises is near the very top of the list.

In June this year, Gas transmission and marketing company, Gail (India), had mentioned that it had decided to foray into commercial generation of wind energy. The company announced plans to set up 100 megawatt (mw) of wind energy generator (WEG) spread over Tamil Nadu and Karnataka in the present financial year.
As per the proposal discussed by Gail board in May this year, four modules of 25 mw each will be installed in two southern states with an investment of Rs 616 crore. The company plans to commission the project in this financial year to avail income tax benefits under section 80IA of the Income Tax Act 1961.
Last month GAIL India Ltd, placed a 14.7 MW order comprising seven units of Suzlon's S88 – 2.1 MW wind turbines, to be commissioned in Gujarat within six months. This is the second wind energy project order placed by GAIL with Suzlon.
According to reports, the company aims to foray further into gas-based power, renewable power and unconventional energy sources like shale gas, CBM and coal gas. During the current fiscal GAIL will set up over 115 MW of wind based renewable power projects at an investment of nearly Rs 700 crore in various states, Mr B.C. Tripathi, Chairman and Managing Director, GAIL said.
"Thrust would also be given to seeding investment in emerging technologies like fuel cells and hydrogen etc, through pilot projects," he said.

Fiscally responsible, ethically and morally sound group! I love this group because I feel like it helps me live my faith. Christ said "What you do for the least of your brothers, you do for me." This is a way to help people living in abject poverty. I can't possibly travel to these places on my own and yet I know they need help and CRS is there. They help not only in emergencies and disasters but are also engaged in trying to create long term change. Their best programs are the ones that help build infrastructure like digging wells and help people become economically independent. Whether they are digging wells, building schools or medical clinics, empowering women, or fostering economic development, CRS does a great job!
L. Durington 07/22/2013 Hi Misty62704, My name is Laura Durington and I work for Catholic Relief Services. Thank you so much for the wonderful review. I found your words very inspiring, and I think they would inspire other donors as well. Could I have your permission to use this quote in an upcoming fundraising campaign? If so, please e-mail me laura.durington (at) crs.org. Thanks again and God bless!
Over the past several years, in my role as a a campus minister, I've accompanied college students on short term immersions in the developing world. Whenever possible we arrange to spend some time with Catholic Relief Services (CRS ). Having seen first hand projects ranging from peace-building to agriculture, from economic justice to HIV/AIDS care and from health care to education reform, I believe that CRS is a great non-profit. They are mission-driven and fiscally responsible. They adhere to an integral human development model that respects the dignity of the people and communities where they work. Thus, outside the US, most of their employees are local folks from in-country.
At the most personal level, I admire and respect CRS because of the mission as I understand it: to spread the good news. This does not mean proselytizing or converting, not in the least. It means clean water and sanitation, Fair Trade, basic health care, education, women's empowerment, disaster relief. It means respecting the human dignity of each and all and it means striving to live in solidarity with all of God's creation.
If I had one more career in me - CRS would have my resume in a minute. ; )
A little over six months after the terrible earthquake struck Port- au -Prince in the Island of Haiti I had the opportunity to visit that country and city with Catholic Relief Services. We saw first hand the devastation that that poor country experienced. But we also saw the resilient efforts made by Catholic Relief Services and some of its partners to bring some degree of assistance by way of shelter, medicine, and food to the victims, not just of the earthquake but also of the ensuing cholera epidemic that came on the heels of the earthquake. CRS imported a number of rubble crushing machines from Africa to help alleviate the conditions in Port-au-Prince. Although it was not enough to solve the total problem of the toxic rubble that lay everywhere in the city, it provided employment to local people to crush the rubble and make sand for the concrete floors of the temporary shelters that were being constructed by CRS
It was a win-win situation. The rubble was being cleared and local people were given employment, thanks to the imaginative efforts of CRS
CRS is the U.S. Catholic foreign relief and development agency. I have been a very appreciative and proud supporter of CRS for several decades. CRS does a very professional and efficient job of helping and empowering people in about 100 countries throughout the world. Working mostly through local churches, we take advantage of our existing infrastructure to efficiently help in times of disaster (like the Haiti earthquake) and empower under-developed communities to be healthier physically and economically. We also have successful peacekeeping programs. For the last four years I have been a CRS Fair Trade Ambassador promoting Fair Trade (a great development and justice tool) in my parish and diocese and pretty much everywhere I go. The staff in Baltimore is very supportive and appreciative of the work that we ambassadors do within our communities. It is an honor and a pleasure to do this volunteer work for CRS.
Catholic Relief Services is the best agency I have been involved with. Their dedicated work to develop countries overseas is unparalleled and their education in the US is phenomenal. They also have an incredible "CRS Fair Trade Ambassador Program" - one of the most informative, electric and life-changing experiences I have had. I have shared my knowledge from this program for years now and been empowered to make simple small changes every day of my life.
