A dull Inba

Last updated on: March 24, 2008 12:00 IST

Poor boy meets rich girl. Rich girl snubs poor boy. Boy saves girl and girl falls in love with boy, which is the cue for girl's brother to bash him up with the help of a thousand goons.

Yawning already? Well, that's the premise of a thousand love stories that have wandered into celluloid over the decades, and Rathnamala Movies' Tamil film Inba, directed by S T Venddan, somehow seeks to tell you that it's a mind-blowing story!

At least the first few scenes try to give you the impression that something different is about to turn up: Inba (R Shaam) gets out of the correctional facility for juvenile delinquents, and returns home to fashion a new life.

Naturally, he's an angry young man who's trying desperately to rein his temper. He has the tough luck of being noticed by local bigwig Mala Ganesan (Arun Pandian), who looks every inch the prosperous ruffian, and is employed by him to guard his sister Priya (Sneha).

Priya is heckled by unruly college-mates, which necessitates the security but she obviously wants to have a good time, and hates the guts of Inba, who tags along. In a variety of incidents that remind of you of early Ramarajan/Kamal Hassan and other assorted hero-centric films, she abuses him and then promptly falls in love with the brooding, bearded and silent handsome man.

But trouble is not far behind as no self-respecting goonda brother is going to stand by and watch his sister fall for her bodyguard. Matters escalate into countless fights, interspersed with countless songs, and newer villains crop up all over the place. Everybody spouts the standard lines (what was dialogue-writer Subha thinking?) and once the climax is done, you heave yourself off the cramped seats with relief.

The only part that is worth watching is the brief flashback, which details Inba's past life, and the reason that colours his actions. Alas, the interlude is too short to enjoy and peppered by more songs.

Shaam tries desperately to act but no matter the circumstance and emotion, his face looks permanently puzzled, with a frown in place. The beard, however gives him a new look.

Sneha comes through with some grace; her svelte figure and dashing outfits add to her charm.

And then there's Arun Pandian. What, oh what, has possessed the actor to turn into a combination of Ashish Vidhyarthi and Raghuvaran, chewing and spitting out his dialogues? If this is his idea of villainy, be prepared for a fit of the giggles.

In fact, only three actors carry off their roles well -- Rekha, the villain's wife though her part is mercilessly small; young Jyothi, who plays Inba's love interest in school (her beady eyes and ready smile are a pleasure to watch); and there's the SP, who's much more of a proper negative character than anyone else in the movie and performs flamboyantly well.

Kanja Karuppu, as the pathetic locksmith, wanders around aimlessly spouting inane dialogues. Sulakshana and Thalaivaasal Vijay are wasted.

The music by newcomer P B Balaji tries to ape the trends of today but dissolves into noise for the most part. Not to mention the insane number of duets that crop up all over the place.

The stunts are especially well done, and would be much more appreciated if they were part of some martial exhibition, not a movie.

For three hours of unmitigated boredom, here's your pick.

Next elections to be held under redrawn constituencies

January 10, 2008 20:04 IST

The next general elections will be held in constituencies redrawn by the delimitation exercise, as per a decision taken by the Union Cabinet on Thursday.

The Cabinet adopted an ordinance to defer the delimitation exercise in Jharkhand and four north eastern states-- Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh.

Briefing reporters, Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi said that the government has accepted the delimitation exercise.

"Only Jharkhand has been segregated from it. Other states where delimitation has been carried out has been accepted and this would be made into a law and signed by the President after which it will be notified. Based on that, the elections will be held," he said.

On whether the next general elections will be held in the redrawn constituencies, he said, "This is not our responsibility, but the Election Commissions'. I am saying that the government has accepted the report. It will be implemented".

The delimitation process has been completed for 3,726 assembly constituencies and 513 Lok Sabha constituencies. For it to become operational in time for the 2009 general elections, a Presidential order has to be issued.

The amendments to the Delimitation Act, 2002, approved by the Cabinet, would take care of the concerns expressed by the delimitation exercise in the four North Eastern states of Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh due to the situation prevailing there, Dasmunsi said.

He said that the ordinance would be placed in Parliament during the budget session.

We MUST take hard decisions: Chidambaram on NCTC

May 06, 2012 14:55 IST

With states stoutly opposed to the National Counter Terrorism Centre in its current form, Home Minister P Chidambaram has assured that the matter of re-location of the anti-terror body outside the Intelligence Bureau would be re-examined.

In his concluding remarks at the chief ministers' conference, which were released officially on Sunday, the home minister sought to clarify the decision of placing the NCTC within the IB.

"I may recall, when I stood at this very podium in December 2009, I did not propose that the NCTC should be located in the IB. In fact, the new security architecture was certainly more ambitious but did not propose that it should be located in the IB".

He said that a decision was taken to locate the NCTC in the IB because the Group of Ministers which made its recommendations in 2001 named the IB as India's nodal counter-terrorism agency.

"A number of speakers who pointed out that we must have a NCTC, asked why should it be located in the IB? Certainly this matter deserves re-examination and we will certainly re-examine it," the home minister said.

Chidambaram said that he had come to the meeting with an open mind for the discussion on NCTC, which he termed as "extremely important" in order to face the threat of terrorism to the country.

"I came to this meeting with an open mind and I continue to keep an open mind and I assure you that all your suggestions will be carefully considered before a decision is taken by the government," he said.

"Ultimately, however, the government would have to take a decision. Taking no decision on a matter of such urgency does not advance the objectives for which we have met," he said in his remarks.

Chidambaram said, "We will give serious attention to both those who strongly supported the proposal and those who suggested that it should be rejected outright".

Advocating an agency like NCTC, he said the country had both intelligence agencies like the IB and investigative agencies like the NIA.

"Between intelligence agencies and investigative agencies under the traditional system of administration of law and order, we have the police, but my experience in this job for the last three and a half years tells me that what we need is not simply a police organisation; what we need is a counter terrorism organisation," he said.

"So we need to move beyond looking upon counter-terrorism as a police operation and enlarge our scope to make it a truly counter-terrorism organisation that will mobilise all elements of national power," he said.

The home minister said that while every successful case of the past three years has been documented, so has been every case of failure.

On the cases of failure, the home minister said the failures have been mainly because of lack of timely decisions and lack of capacity.

"Each case of failure contains within it the potential of another terrorist attack, therefore, we cannot afford to fail. The adversary can fail 99 out of 100 times but the state, the governments, cannot afford to fail even once out of hundred times," he said.

The home minister added, "We think the NCTC or any other organisation or any similar organisation will fill this gap".

About giving operational powers to the NCTC, he said that such a situation will rise only under exceptional circumstances.

"But I recognise that a number of speakers are not still satisfied and they want more safeguards on this and those who gave qualified support are not satisfied with the safeguards that are built in. So this requires greater reflection," he said.

"Hard decisions have to be taken. Our decision cannot be based upon our past experience alone, because the past does not contain any indicators. We do not have experience of many matters. Some risks have to be taken; some calibrated steps have to be taken. But given the nature of threats we face, we must take hard decisions," he said.

Chidambaram appealed to the states to work together with the Centre in making India a safer and more secure country for the people.

Arsenal put Milan out; Man Utd, Barca in last 8

March 05, 2008 06:43 IST

Arsenal sent holders Milan packing from the Champions League on Tuesday as the English Premier League leaders booked a quarter-final place with a 2-0 win at the San Siro.

Manchester United and Barcelona made smooth progress while Turkish surprise package Fenerbahce sneaked through on penalties after their first knockout round, second-leg match against Sevilla finished at 5-5.

Goals from Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor guided Arsenal to victory in Milan, the first by an English side against the Rossoneri at the San Siro.

English champions United were made to work hard for a 1-0 win over Olympique Lyon at Old Trafford that gave them a 2-1 aggregate victory over the French side after Cristiano Ronaldo [Images] scored his 30th goal of the season.

Barcelona completed a 4-2 aggregate win over Celtic with a 1-0 second leg win at the Nou Camp thanks to an early goal from Xavi while Fenerbahce were indebted to goalkeeper Volkan Demirel for saving three spot-kicks in the shootout.

Demirel, at fault for at least one goal in regular time, turned hero by denying Julien Escude, Enzo Maresca and Daniel Alves in the shootout Fenerbahce won 3-2.

Alves and Seydou Keita had given Sevilla a 2-0 lead in the opening 10 minutes but goals from Brazilian striker Deivid either side of Frederic Kanoute's strike made it 3-2 on the night to force a dramatic ending to the contest.

Milan dominated the opening stages of a titanic tussle but Arsenal quickly found their feet and always looked more likely to score before Fabregas finally broke the deadlock with a stunning strike in the 84th minute.

The midfielder took the ball in his stride and beat Zeljko Kalac in goal with a rasping low shot from 30 metres that crept into the bottom right corner before Adebayor sealed the win from close range in injury time.

The Togo striker was left with a simple tap-in at the far post to score his first Champions League goal of the season after substitute Theo Walcott delivered a perfect low cross.

Manchester United did not look particularly impressive in a 4-5-1 formation with Rooney on his own up front and survived several nervy moments before and after Ronaldo netted his sixth goal of the competition and his 80th in a United shirt.

The winger pounced on a rebound from Anderson's initial effort and threaded his shot past Gregory Coupet in the 41st minute as United equalled the record held by Juventus of 10 straight Champions League home wins.

Prosecution of contribution actions and participation in allocation proceedings. Her experience includes researching historical evidence of contamination, working with fate and transport models, co-mingled plumes, landfills, and leaking gasoline tanks.

Environmental Insurance Claims - Experience with obtaining insurance coverage for environmental damages under historic primary and excess liability policies, and claims for reimbursement under cost-cap insurance. Recent experience with cost-cap claims has resulted in settlements with insurers totaling close to 100 percent of claimed cost overruns.

Sewer and Water - Defense of disputes involving allegations of violations of sewage service contracts, and defense of personal injury and property damage claims related to discharge to sewer that allegedly cause injury.

Environmental Due Diligence Experience

Jennifer is a key player in due diligence on major acquisitions in the Marcellus Shale play.

The ZCTU faced continued police harassment, including a visit to their offices by plain clothes police, the arrest of participants in a Women's Day march and the disruption of a women's education programme. The police also tried unsuccessfully to ban the ZCTU's May Day marches and Zanu-PF youths violently disrupted a ZCTU event. Meanwhile striking teachers faced threats and beatings while farm workers who organised to press for their pay claim found themselves jobless, homeless and facing death threats. A child died as a result.

Police arrested 46 political activists in February and charged them with treason for screening video footage of the protests in Egypt and Libya. Lawyers for those arrested said at least seven had been tortured. A report issued by Amnesty International in May also found there had been increased intimidation, arrest and torture of Human Rights defenders in the country, then a BBC documentary broadcast in August revealed horrific levels of torture by Zimbabwe's security forces in the country's rich Marange diamond fields, including severe beatings and sexual assault.

ZCTU leader Wellington Chibebe left to take up his post as Deputy General Secretary of the ITUC in September.

Trade union rights in law

The labour laws pertaining to trade union rights are lacking. Although private sector workers enjoy freedom of association, public sector workers do not have the right to form and join trade unions, to bargain collectively or to strike. The Registrar has the power to supervise trade union elections and can cancel, postpone, or change the venue of the elections. Furthermore, collective bargaining is not the exclusive prerogative of trade unions, as workers' committees may also bargain at the company level, hence potentially undermining the unions. All collective bargaining agreements must then be approved by the authorities.

The right to strike is also limited, as the procedures that must be exhausted prior to a strike are excessively long. Employers are not prohibited from hiring replacement workers during a strike, and also have the right to sue workers for liability during unlawful strikes. The penalties for participating in an illegal strike include harsh prison sentences of up to five years. Strikes are banned in "essential services", the list of which exceeds the ILO definition. The Minister also has discretionary powers to decide what constitutes an essential service.

In practice

POSA still used to curb trade union activity: Old habits die hard in Zimbabwe where the controversial Public Order and Security Act (POSA) has long been used to prevent or disrupt trade union activity, particularly ZCTU-organised events. In March, for example, the Bulawayo western district police tried to use the POSA to prevent a women's day march, but they were over-ruled by the Magistrate's Court.

Government fails to implement ILO recommendations: A year after the ILO Commission of Inquiry's report "Truth, reconciliation and justice in Zimbabwe", was made public, the government had failed to implement any of its recommendations, despite promising to do so. Those recommendations included the cessation of anti-union arrests, detentions, violence, torture, intimidation and harassment; strengthening of national institutions and social dialogue; training on freedom of association and collective bargaining; civil liberties and human rights; and the reinforcement of the rule of law and the role of the courts, as well as the creation of a Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission.

Collective bargaining agreements not implemented: In October a Harare labour lawyer, Arthur Marar said that companies were not honouring collective bargaining agreements, with many employers failing to pay or delaying payment to workers. Furthermore they were failing to disclose full information during negotiations, as required by law.

A policy of restricting peaceful demonstrations: Events in Tunisia and Egypt made the unity government, or at least the Zanu-PF side of it, nervous. The police and the pro-Mugabe Central Intelligence Organisation kept a watchful eye on civil society groups following the North African protests, quickly stepping in to break up any mass gathering with potential to turn into anti-Mugabe mass action. On 29 February a Joint Operations Command (JOC) meeting for Bulawayo took place at which prison, police, army and intelligence bosses agreed that in the wake of the North African protests they would deploy a show of force to dissuade demonstrations. The JOC also reportedly resolved to ban all peaceful gatherings and processions, and sought to apply that policy to ZCTU events among others. When the ZCTU announced the plans for its traditional May Day marches, the police accused it of using the events to stoke violence.

Police try to prevent May Day marches: In April 2011 the ZCTU notified the police in all 38 Districts of its intention to commemorate International Workers' Day on 1 May. The police banned all processions in Mutare, Harare and Masvingo and took unduly long to respond to letters in other Districts. The ZCTU made an application to the High Court seeking an order to declare police action unlawful and allow commemorations and processions in all 38 Districts. After the High Court granted an order in favour of ZCTU on April 29, the processions went ahead in most cities except in Masvingo, where the police defied the High Court Order and maintained their ban on the procession.

Police ban peaceful demonstration by bank employees: On 18 May the ZCTU reported that the police had instructed the Zimbabwe Banks and Allied Workers' Union (ZIBAWU) to suspend its plans for a peaceful demonstration "until further notice", just a few days after initially approving plans for the protest against low pay and poor working conditions. The Harare Central District Police claimed the reason for suspending the march was that 'certain political parties would want to take advantage of the gathering at Stanbic Bank to engage in political violence.'

Dismissals and death threats for farmworkers who tried to organise:

At the beginning of the year, workers at the Bemba Farm in Marondera found themselves being summarily dismissed and thrown off the farm at night by Zanu PF youths after engaging in union activities. The farm's 700 workers had been pressing for the national employment council approved agro-wage of USD80 a month, rather than the USD55 a month they were being paid as "general" agricultural workers. In late 2010, they formed their first workers committee with the help of trade unionists, but the farm owner responded by dismissing all those involved.

One employee, Guidance Chiper, said Zanu PF youths took him away on a rainy day and dumped him with his family and his belongings by the road side. Both people and belongings got soaked and his one-year-old child died a few days later. Another employee, Johannes Mfiri said he was sacked on 4 January for encouraging workers to join the General Agriculture and Plantation Workers' Union (GAPWUZ). Other employees said many have been affected in a similar way, with the union confirming they had already dealt with 18 such cases.

Meanwhile a man named Cleopas Kundiona whose company provides security services at the farm, threatened that those seen going to the unions would be drowned in a nearby dam, in a repetition of what happened to many people in 2008, another employee said. The unionists said they had also received death threats from Kundiona whom they alleged presided over the "throwing away" of workers. Kundiona, who claims to be spokesperson and legal advisor to Francois Smit, owner of the farm, said unionists were manipulating the workers, and that the farm had sued the Gapwuz union, their representatives and some of the workers for USD1,114,500 as compensation for damages caused during an" illegal" strike organised in 2010.

Police harassment of ZCTU continues: On the morning of 3 March the ZCTU headquarters were visited by three plain clothes police detectives. They demanded a list of the ZCTU Executive members and any 'new information' that they might need to know about the organisation.

Police disrupt ZCTU-organised women's march and arrest participants: When the ZCTU notified the police of its intention to commemorate International Women's Day on 8 March with a procession, permission was refused claiming that the ZCTU had not complied with all sections the Public Order and Security Act. However the Magistrates Court of Bulawayo ordered that the commemoration and procession could go ahead as planned. The police ignored that order and, dressed in riot gear and wielding batons, disrupted the event and arrested 19 trade union members including a pregnant woman. Three of the women were forced to remove their ZCTU T-shirts, and were left in the centre of Bulawayo in just their bras, until sympathisers leant them clothes to cover themselves up with. A group of about 20 police officers invaded the venue for the procession and did not permit participants to gather; another group of 17 raided the ZCTU Bulawayo offices and ordered people to disperse.

Police disrupt ZCTU women's programme:

Police disrupted a civic education programme for women organised by the ZCTU in Gwanda at the beginning of April. Towards the end of the morning programme, the police arrived and demanded to be allowed to attend the workshop. The ZCTU officials explained the purpose of the training and told the police that they could not allow them to attend, and that there was no legal requirement for them to do so. The police then took the two facilitators to the station where they were interrogated. The ZCTU officers maintained their position and the police responded by banning the workshop. When the facilitators went back to the venue, the owners of the hotel could not allow them to proceed since the police had already threatened the hotel management. The workshop was therefore abandoned midway.

In Beitbridge a police officer claiming to be from the President's Office wanted to attend a training session of the same programme taking place there, but after explanations from the ZCTU officials that they would not allow him in, he left and no further disturbances were experienced.

Victimisation of workers at Stanbic Bank: In May the ZCTU publicly expressed concern at the continued victimisation of workers at Stanbic Bank by the bank's top management in response to the Zimbabwe Banks and Allied Workers' Union (ZIBAWU) plans to take industrial action. Some workers were unilaterally transferred after they were deemed too militant and Workers' Committee meetings were banned. The union explained that the reason they were taking action was that top management had failed to address or even listen to workers' grievances while awarding themselves very generous allowances. The ZCTU reported that the top manager at the bank took home more than $140 000 as a production bonus in the month of March 2011, while refusing to listen to workers' demands for a 30% salary adjustment. The ZCTU called on the Ministry of Finance to investigate the situation at the bank and in the financial sector in general.

Militia and CIO harass striking teachers: The Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) reported that their members were being harassed in some areas for taking part in strike action that started on 22 June. PTUZ President, Takavafira Zhou, told SW Radio Africa that youth militia, intelligence agents and school heads aligned with ZANU PF, were intimidating teachers and making threats. "Our teachers were beaten by rogue militia in Rushinga and there have been serious threats in Mberengwa, Gokwe and Mashonaland South," Zhou said. He added that officers from the Central Intelligence Organisation had visited PTUZ offices around the country.

The union said the strike was intended to press the government to commit to a time frame for concluding salary negotiations. Despite having met with Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, Robert Mugabe and the Ministry for Public Service, asking for salaries equal to the Poverty Datum Line, teachers had still not received the salary increases they were promised by the President. The government had proved reluctant to remove 75,000 "ghost workers" on the payroll who were using up money that could have contributed to civil servants wages. The union was also promised that revenue from the sale of diamonds would be used to improve wages, but that was not done either. The PTUZ suspected political leaders of pilfering the money from diamond sales. The PTUZ president also accused the Zimbabwe Teachers Association (ZIMTA), of being run by officials closely linked to ZANU PF, and alleged that some had been discouraging PTUZ members from participating in the strike.

The dispute was finally resolved, at least partially, through a package deal for civil servants negotiated by the APEX council. (see above).

Police bar ZCTU march: The police turned down an application by the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) to hold a commemoration against police brutality in Kuwadzana on Saturday 17 September, and warned that they would clamp down on demonstrators should they defy the directive. In the letter from the Chief Superintendant, it was claimed that the march "may be hijacked by political malcontents and criminals and degenerate into violence," . The commemorations have been held since 2007 to mark the police brutality of 2006 when they descended on demonstrating workers and arrested over 200 of them in a countrywide swoop.

Zanu-PF youths disrupt ZCTU meeting: Zanu-PF youths violently disrupted a ZCTU meeting on 22 September as it was being addressed by Lovemore Matombo and Progressive Teachers Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) leader Raymond Majongwe. A group of 20 Zanu-PF youths led by Andrew Manjoro, Bulawayo youth provincial secretary for Economic Affairs, stormed the ZCTU meeting venue at the Royal Hotel carrying iron bars and stones.

They claimed they had booked the same venue for their own meeting, and refused to leave when Majongwe appealed to them to respect other people's meetings. After being forced out by meeting participants, the Zanu-PF youths gathered outside the hotel and started chanting liberation songs. Manjoro urged the Zanu-PF youths to wait until the ZCTU meeting ended so that they could beat up the labour union members, especially Majongwe. The youths refused to leave even after riot police arrived, but were finally persuaded to do so after the Zanu-PF Bulawayo provincial executive leader, Godfrey Malaba came to the venue to persuade them to disperse.

Government interference into teachers' unions affairs: In September the government announced that it wanted to investigate the operations of all teachers' unions in the country. The reason for the investigation was apparently the thousands of dollars that the teachers unions received in membership fees from their members. Yet as the ZCTU noted, there was nothing to indicate that any of the funds had been misused. The unions felt that the government's move was an attempt to divert attention from the real issue of addressing and improving conditions of service for the teachers.

Government breaks promises on civil servants pay rise: The government's promise of a significant pay rise for civil servants that led them to call off their industrial action in late 2010 failed to materialise. In January civil servants' unions called for a pay rise that would put salaries on a par with the average family shopping basket, about US$500 a month, but the government's offer of an 18% to 26% rise fell far short of this, leaving lower paid civil servants with about US$160 a month. The government claimed it simply did not have the money for more, although government ministers managed to award themselves a 200% pay rise. The rises were supposed to have been funded by revenues from diamond exports, but there were suspicions that ZANU-PF was siphoning off that money. Both private employers, fearing the consequences for their forthcoming pay bargaining rounds, and the IMF, put heavy pressure on the government not to give in the civil servants' demands.

At the end of June the government finally awarded civil servants an all-inclusive minimum salary of US$253. There was, however, no reintroduction of rural and education allowances. The increase, described as "provisional" by the trade unions' umbrella body the Apex council, fell far short of civil servants demands, but did help defuse mounting anger. The Apex council said they would continue to fight until they had reached the Poverty Datum Line threshold.

Tweet that insulted Prophet Muhammad lands man in Kuwait prison

KUWAIT CITY >> A rights activist in Kuwait says a Twitter user has been sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted of insulting the Prophet Muhammad.

The court decision Monday is the latest among Gulf Arab nations in a widening crackdown on political commentary and other forms of expressions on social media.

Musaab Shamsah was arrested following a Twitter post he allegedly made in May that made references to the descendants of Islam’s prophet. Activist Nawaf al-Hendal says Shamsah plans to appeal.

The post, since taken down, could be taken as endorsing Shiite beliefs.

Sunni-majority Kuwait has been among the most aggressive Gulf states in clamping down on perceived offenses on the Internet.

In Saudi Arabia, three lawyers are facing trial over social media posts allegedly criticizing authorities.

“Their primary aim is to put you in debt and steal from you”

Written on: 20/10/2011 by Alphagirl (7 reviews written)

I can't believe how cut throat Next online are. They expect you to pay for each catalogue (Next directory) they send then if you close your account they demand that you send the directory back to them even though you own it! If you set up an account with them online they send you a catalogue whether you want one or not then they give you credit like a credit card and charge extortionate interest rates if you don't pay your full balance each month. The order line/ customer service is an expensive 0844 number that takes you through to a call centre in India. The customer service is absolutely appalling, it's hard to hear what they're saying and they constantly put you through to the credit department whether you want to speak to them or not. Next online are a greedy mercenary company that blatantly try to rip you off. Avoid them at all costs!

“D Modest Review”

McDonalds is a place in which almost everybody goes to, and it keeps them satisfied. The food is relatively cheap for parents, and Happy Meal toys keep the kids from complaining. This Also happens to be a reasturant in which i attend so often, because im always out and about, and being an 18 year old male, i seem to always be starving. Out of all the numerous times i have been to the restaurant, my last experience seems to the the best out of all of them.

This weekend i was in Atlanta, GA. for a basketball tournament and after the game i attended McDonald. It seems as soon as my food i recieved it, and it was hot and fresh. The fries were amazing, and the costomer service was even better. Usually when i go there you have to ask for ketchup, napkins, and sometimes you have to remind them to give you your drink, but this time they were on top of everything. What more could i ask for? The excellent Customer Service and great food played a huge roll in me being happy, and gave me my best experience at McDonalds ever.

I purchased a used transmission from Southwest Engines.  I called to make sure they got the right one, in order to avoid any problems.  The person I talked to was impatient and rude and assured me he knew what he was doing.  Unfortunately, he didn't and sent the wrong transmission.  In an effort to resolve the situation I have called several times only to be sent to voice mail.  I also have sent several e-mails for the same purpose.  None of my messages or e-mails have ever been returned.  So, basically, I'm stuck with a $695.00 transmission that I have no use for.  I tried withholding payment through my Capital One credit card and they were just as bad, clearly not living up to their claims of customer protection.

If you are thinking of buying from this merchant, Think Again...............

I found that TLG Travel Advantage had charged my credit card for two months for $14.99 without my authorization.  It started with I signed up for Travel Advantage in August 2009 with the promise of discount coupons and all my membership information would be sent to me within three weeks.  I got no notification or membership paperwork that I was promised by the Travel Advantage salesman in August 2009.  I cancelled my membership in September 2009 and they continued to charge me for two more months.  A phone call in November 2009 and I found out that they had NOT cancelled my membership and the Slick Talking representative tried to get me off the phone with out confirmation of cancellation.  This time I got a name and a cancellation number.  I also reported them to my credit card company as unauthorized charges.  They are running a scam, charge you for nothing in return!

• Give A Gift

Luxury British car maker Jaguar said it expected a further injection of capital from its owner, Ford Motor Co., after reporting heavy losses for 2003, the Financial Times newspaper reported.

said it took a 534 million-pound ($1.02 billion) charge to cover a writedown on the company's investments after losing 601.1 million pounds in 2003, double the previous year.

The previously-undisclosed figure, lodged with regulators late last month, left Jaguar with a "negative net worth" of 322 million pounds, a Jaguar spokesman said, confirming a Financial Times report.

Ford bought Jaguar in 1989 for 1.6 billion pounds, hoping to revive the classic British marque, but Jaguar has been unable to compete with larger premium automakers and overcome a slump in U.S. car sales.

Jaguar Chief Executive Joe Greenwell said in November the brand would lose hundreds of millions of pounds this year and not break even until 2007.

They are self-taught and play by ear, having learned by the oral tradition. Prior to his work as one half of the “Two Fiddles,” Dudley — who has been calling dances for over 50 years — was the leader of the Canterbury Country Dance Orchestra, the first dance band to make an LP recording.

Extra protection

Comments On May 13, 2013:Look great. I went with stainless bolt for install rather than the supplied self tappers.

the look tough & Cool

Comments On Feb 04, 2013:They may stick out a little too far from the sides...I am worried if the RZR will fit thru the 50" gates ...the pre drilled holes made it nice for an install...i hope they will stay on and not get riped off on the MOAB rocks
it comes with 4 big lag bolts that i used my cordless drill to install
I jacked the side by side up to get up under neath to bolt on and you will need some help holding them up to get them bolted on becuse they are a little bit to heavy for a one man job. i think they look good on the RZR and now we just need some proarmor doors to match

Takes Rocks -Keeps RZR rolling

Comments On Jan 16, 2010:Well built product, I would not thke either of my RZRs out of the parking lot without them. I have crushed one set of them but the rock sliders prevented serious damage to RZR. Mounting is good but self tapping screws are used and the RZR frame mushrooms on severe impact letting the screws fall out-- not really a rockslider issue. Fix is to use backing plates and bolts with nyloc nuts. Rock sliders with bolts and backing plated survived 1500 miles in the Baja without even a rattle.

Side Guards

Comments On Dec 29, 2008:These guards definitely protect the side and a portion of the under carriage I recommend these on all RZRs. One problem i have heard, you will get harrassed by the rangers because it will expand the width of your machine about two inches which exceeds the limits on some trails which are limited to 50". they are getting nit picky!!
