Ref : Quotation No 4026 dated 16.09.2011
Consignment Note No 004903 dated 22.09.2011
Dear Sir,
With regard to subject above and reference quoted, we would like to bring to your notice that, there is short receipt of our household items – the item missing is
1. Accessories to Dining Table – One lot
Apart from the above, following items were not packed at all as per your commitment before loading in Chennai and transported thus resulted in considerable damage to the properties
1. Sofa Set
2. Washing Machine
3. Two Wheeler
4. Mattress
The Cartoon boxes packed was all smashed while loading and the utensils inside the boxes were damaged and moreover the trunk boxes were all kept upside down, understand from the persons who reached Visakahapatnam address Mr Jameel / Mr Sayyed that transshipment was done in between the transportation and that they will also not unload the materials as they were not paid for the same and we had to unload our self thus paying extra amount other than tea money to the drivers in spite of paying all charges in Advance before dispatching at the time of loading as per terms of Quotation. The truck no was AP-12O-5774 – received the consignment on 25.09.2011 at 1845 hrs.
These initial damages and the way the materials were received were conveyed to you over telephone after repeated calls (since initially you did not bother to attend / receive the calls) – called from another number – you responded and when conveyed, you opined that you cannot revert without knowing the facts which you need to discuss with the team to whom you have given responsibility – such an un ethical business approach. You were only interested in your Money (Rs.15,000/-) which you received in full by compelling me quoting terms of Quotation before dispatch of materials and subsequently cheating the customer by your own means.
On your confirmation of reverting back on 27th September 2011, when we did not get call from you, we called you once again to which you categorically denied taking any responsibility for the same and moreover you needed further time to get to a conclusion which proves your credibility in the market proving in-efficiency in heeding to customers issues.
The above first hand information is as per terms of the Quote and we request your good self to take this note as a official complaint letter which too is as per terms of quote, and arrange to compensate with the damages (Loss to the tune of Rs.42,100/-). If you do not hear from you within 10 days from dispatch of this letter, we will be forced to take up with the Consumer Redressal Forum, a copy of this is already marked to them and also to the local police station.
The Worst Ever Service we have come across.
From: Mahesh Agarwal Agarwal
My name is Mahesh I recently moved from Delhi to Coimbatore ( Tamil Nadu ). we have booked Aggarwal Trans Packers and Movers Pvt. Ltd. (Aggarwal house, VPO Bijwasan K. No. 622
Near Shiva Middle School, Gurgaon- Palam Vihar Road, New Delhi- 61) to shift my household goods to Coimbatore. Their HO is in Vashi Mumbai. The goods cost will be around Rs. 2.50 lacs.
An Estimation was given for all the household goods for Rs.18,500 including insurance cost and paid all money in advance. The above deal was finalized by Mr.Naresh. The Insurance receipts were said to be mailed on next day, But, those papers were not sent till today. Our Luggage has not been delivered till date and their is no proper response from the staff. We have called a number of times to Mr. Naresh, Mr.Mukesh and also to their head office in Mumbai but, their is no proper response.
After 10 days, after calling a number of times, Mr.Mukesh said that the luggage is still in Delhi warehouse. Their behaviour is quite rude and they spoke very harshly to us and
We are calling them daily but they are not giving any status of our luggage. Sometimes they say the luggage is in delhi, sometimes in Hyderabad.All this matter is causing a lot of disturbance and trouble to us and we are facing a lot of problem from 20 days because all our household goods including kitchen items, law books, clothes and certificates related to past employers and important documents are all in them. We are forced to eat in hotels because all our cooking items are not yet transported. This issue is causing serious mental tension, stress and it is also disturbing my work. They are behaving in such a rude manner that I am forced to lodge a complaint against them.

I got call from Agarwal Deep International (Packers and movers) Home relocater through just dial for delivering my house hold things to Ranchi. They called me in the name of Agarwal Packers and Movers saying you know we are very renounced company and have lot of trucks and all. So i booked and send my house hold items through them. They charged me heavily in the name of Agarwal packers and movers and also charged me heavily for insurance. They never gave my insurance paper and also didnt deliver my items completely. They said one of the biggest box containing most of the valuable items is being stolen by driver and will be returned back after some day. They never acted but started telling that we have found your good and will deliver it but never delivered. They stopped picking our phones also. I dont know how to punish this kind of cheater company and what rules are there to punish them. Please help me.

I have waited quite long to post this thread but still i have hope
that i will get help via this forum for my grievences!!
I shifted my household goods from Gurgaon to Bangalore on 28th Feb
using services from "Anytime Packers and Movers". Below mentioned are
few key highlights that were promised to us from the Movers and
--> Your Goods will on the way to bangalore the very same day they
packed from gurgaon.
--> Goods will be delivered in a 7 days time.
--> They guaranteed that nothing will happen to any of our
goods/property and if it happens they will pay for the same.
Below mentioned is my section of being mentally harassed by these folks:
--> After a week, on 6th march asked about the status and got to know
that it will be delivered in 2 days time due to some transportation
issue. We waited for the next 2 days.
--> Again i tried after couple of days and again the same response was
provided that the goods have not yet been reached to bangalore.
--> we still were patient that it will reach in another 2 days.
--> on 12th march, we again contacted them and the guy from Gurgaon
office gave us the number of the driver to talk to about the
whereabouts of the goods.
--> Ideally this is there job and not mine to follow up with the
driver, but still we called him and asked for the same and got a reply
that it will take 6-7 days more.
--> we called the gurgaon folks asking why it is taking so long ???
for which there response was that the goods were dispatched fro
gurgaon on the 10th march instead of 28th feb (11 days delay!!!!). we
were pissed off by this and asked him why this happened for which they
started to give all sorts of reasons like they were not aware the the
goods were not dispatched etc.
--> We had no option then to wait for another week again and had
called them on 18th march and still got a response that it will reach
by tomorrow which created lot of mental frustration and irritation for
us as we were already in bangalore in hotel waiting for the goods to
come and hence spending lot of money otherwise in hotel stay.
--> Finally the goods arrived on 21st march in the middle of the
night, we still received the goods (had no other options) and found
that our LCD TV was not in the goods.
--> again another shock for us as the TV cost us INR 42900/- which was
close to double the cost we paid for the transportation.
--> we followed up with Anytime packers and movers for the same and
they always told us to "be patient, you will get it in 2 days" . How
much customer can be patient as it was almost a month and my goods
arrived way late with the LCD being stolen from the goods.
--> we constantly followed up with them and they told that the goods
were delivered by another carrier and it was someone from there side
who might have stolen it and they are checking on the same. With this
excuse they somehow managed to buy time for the next 5-6 days.
--> We called them almost everyday to find out and they told that they
will give us Videocon LCD 32" which would cost not more than INR
30000/- but ultimately we still agreed on that. But then suddenly they
refused saying that the other carrier is not ready for the same.
--> and Now these guys are not picking up my calls and even say that "
do whatever you can do" we will not be able to provide you the LCD or
the money for the same.
I really need help on the same!!!

Dear Team,
I have shifted my house holds from Hyderabad to Kolkata on 7-Feb-2011 through Agarwal Packers and Movers (DRS group)GC No- 585421.
Initially it was promised to deliver the goods within 7 days or at max 10 days. After I started enquiring them 8th Day onwards, no one responded properly. When I used to call on 033-6001 5001, they gave contact details of some other person who in turn used to give some other contact details to follow up.Some times they will not even pick up the calls.
After much hectic follow ups, I got my goods delivered on 20-Feb-2011. To my utter surprise, after unpacking I found that my Airtel DTH Set Top box along with adapter and one umbrella went missing from the packed boxes.
I have been calling 040 6001 5001 and 1800 11 4321 to lodge a complaint, but no one responds to it. Kolkata office on 033 6001 5001 did speak to me but no solution is provided. Request the team to look into it and send me the lost items.
Request the team to look into this case and provide me necessary guidelines on how to take it up with legal proceedings

Hello Sir ,
I am Sharad Sharma, recently shifted from Gurgaon(Haryana) to Bangalore(Karnataka).
I took the Services of Agarwal Express Links Pvt. Ltd. ( http://www.agarwalpackersindia.com/Term&conditions-agarwal-Packers-movers.html ) for shifting of our HouseHold Goods.
They charged Rs. 54076/- (Bill No. : 1248 )which includes the Insurance Charges Rs.6000/- (3% for Full Cover for Goods of Rs. 200000)as mentioned in the Bill.This Insurance covers all the small breakages , Scratches on the goods along with the Accidental Coverage.
But they paid just Rs. 600/- to the Insurance Company(United India Insurance) and provide us just the Basic Cover Policy for Accidental Coverage Only.We confimed this from the Insurance Company.
Now once the goods arrived in Bangalore they were in very bad condition, lot of breakage and scratches were there on wood furnitures, broken Dinner Table Glass Top etc.
We called the Insurance Company and ask for the Claim, then they told that the Cover was just accidental and no scratches and breakage will be covered.
We contacted Agarwal Packers and scolded them for this Fraud. They knew that this was their mistake so they agreed to send somebody for the Survey and get the valuations for the breakage.
When the representative arrived, we asked him that where the money for the insurance gone.He said that "It has gone to our Pocket" . We have actually VIDEO RECORDED this conversation so as to use it as a proof.
Finally he did the survey and we took the information about all the damages in writing on the Company LetterHead.But it has been more than 3 weeks and even after calling them 30-40 times they are not responding and n

I have booked a cargo (7 cartons) with GATI Ltd. with respect to Docket no. - 462548614 dated 5th October 2010 from New Delhi. The cargo reached Ranchi on 11th October 2010. But, when it reached my home, the delivery boy asked me to pay Rs. 3192 as against Rs. 2592 mentioned in my docket (invoice). He showed me the copy of invoice, in which all figures were overwritten. He asked me to talk to Delhi office of GATI. When I talked to them, they didn't respond well. They said the fares increased due to Commonwealth Games, etc. and the guy who booked my cargo was unaware about it. I said it's not my mistake. I should pay what is written on my invoice. They compelled me to pay Rs. 3192 or else they wouldn't have delivered my cargo.
So, I want to launch a complain in the Consumer Court regarding this. I want the excess amount paid to be refunded and a fine from GATI for negligence and irresponsibility from their side. I have attached the copy of invoice (my copy and their copy) with this complain.
Thanks & Regards,

I had selected Caravan Packers n Movers (Vishwanand Logistics) for household goods transport from Mumbai to Bangalore, Consignment Number: 11478. The goods movement was started on 18th May 2010. The truck transporting the goods met with an accident on 21st May 2010 (FIR copy attached) and many of my goods got damaged (Damage Certificate attached).
The owners of Caravan Packers n Movers, Mr. Anuj Jain, were very arrogant and did not respond to any communications. We were directed to Mr. Sameer from Angel Insurance for claim process who did not help us in any single matter. This in turn led to delay of entire insurance claim filing process.

When we made enquiries a week before the planned movement, a representative from Chennai Packers & Movers who called himself Sreenu visited our home in Chennai and conducted a survey of the household articles.
After negotiation, he quoted an amount of Rs.8500/- for packing and moving our articles from Virugambakkam in Chennnai to Devarachikkanahalli in Bangalore. this amount was mutually agreed by us.they demanded 100 % advanced payment thereof.

2. The Consignment would be delivered at the given bangalore address within 24 hours.

2. Only 2men came for packing.
3.

I had spoken to the above mentioned packers 10 days before shifting, as it was a local shifting, the distance was 2 kms from my old house to new house in Indiranagar, Bangalore,I got the reference from sulekha.com, wherein i left a message with my phone number for any of the movers/packers to contact me, i finally recd the call from the above movers, the person who spoke said that he will charge me 3200/- for the shift including packing, delivering & unpacking. I asked him to come and see the premises, he said it was necessary as it was a local shift, after that i recd 2 more calls to confirm on the date of shifting.On the 30th late afternoon this person again calls me and tells me that he can come only in the afternoon,as i had to handover the keys to my house owner & he wanted it done by afternoon as it was a weekday,i dint not agree for the same, he said ok, and i again called him late in the evening his response was "madam i am confirming shifting at 7.30 am & we shall be there before that" I asked him if he hearing was clear, why does he keep changing the schedule" He immediately said that he will be charging extra 200 to 500 becos of the recent diesel petrol hike and if i am not agreeing to it, i should look at some other options"!! It was 4.30 and i had no idea what to do, as i had not packed anything, no boxes to pack and all the packing had to be done! Inspite of trying to convince him, he was arguing with me.

I shifted from Delhi to Bangalore in March and used the service of Kairali packers and movers, official name on business cards as KAIRALI TRANSPORT, central office in Pushp Vihar,New Delhi.
When the verbal agreement was made the condition was that they will pack and deliver goods at my home (unpacking inside my home) and in paper it was mentioned as door-to-door. But, when all the packing was completed and goods were getting loaded (while signing the agreement) they just told me in a casual way that," please make sure that you arrange some one to unload the goods at Bangalore". This was the first shock... then we had talks and arguments and I told them that I dont want to use their services and I am ready to pay any compensation to them as packing charges. Atlast they agreed that they will deliver goods inside my home but won't unpack which I agreed to. I also agreed that I will pay some amount to the lorry drivers if required. Post this I paid the entire amount (not advance), the total amount as per their agreement.
So, after some days goods reached Bangalore(time given to me was 1100hrs but reached at 2200hrs).
The second shock was that the lorry was a big National Permit which was loaded (heightwise) more than what is permissable as per transportation rules. Because of this hight issue, goods in the lorry was touching the electric wires and the driver stopped the lorry around 500 meters away from my house and asked to unload the goods myself then and there. I called up the owner of the transportation service, his manager, evry one I knew in the company...first they answered my calls and said they can't do anything, if you want to unload the goods do it ASAP, or else the lorry would be moved to next des

Respected Sir / Madam,
I shifted from Gurgaon to Bangalore in Feb-10 due to change in my job. After lot of search, I decided to use DRS Packers & Movers (Agarwal Packers & Movers) for transport of my household stuff.
Since the beginning till now, I faced large lapses in the services rendered by DRS / Agarwal P&M. All my household received (most of it) was received damaged (fully / partially) and I have suffered many losses during & following this whole episode (financial / mental / family / time investment).
Following is a list of just a few large lapses:
- Difference in reporting time of workers (who came to do the packing & loading) in Gurgaon house from Promised vs. Actual
- Difference in no. of workers (who came to do the packing & loading) in Gurgaon house from Promised vs. Actual
- Not carrying the necessary, promised material for the packing (like no. of plastic cartoons, Wooden crates etc.)
- Quality of packing done
- No. of times loading & unloading done
- DAMAGES seen in the stuff delivered by packing co. at Bangalore house (almost all the important & some other small stuff was damaged in full or in large)
- Follow-ups done with the DRS members to get the issue addressed, arrange for insurance claims & compensation from the company (Numerous emails, phones and smses in last 2-months, with no result)
- No ownership / response from team members, from people in Delhi, Bangalore & Hyderabad (Headoffice) at all the levels
- Finally, company budged to fund only a very minimal amount as insurance claim / compensation against the large value of damages occurred
- Huge mental stress, time investment and additional pressure on financials due to all this, leading to large family crisis
I have kept the record of all the communication done with DRS and need your support to take this case in the Consumer Court to get the redressal under your guidance.
Kindly advise how should I go about it. Whom should I contact, where should I go and file the case and other related queries.
I will really be grateful if you could provide your much needed and great support to me and my family in this regard.
Many thanks in advance,
Yours sincerely,

Hello Amit,
I got your reference through my friend. I have mentioned below the brief of the case and wanted to have some information about the filing in Consumer Forum.
I have shifted from Bombay to Bangalore in Feb along with my family and belonging and we had asked for Movers and Packers to move all this belongings from Mumbai to Bangalore. When the goods were transported to my house in Bangalore have found that there were few goods which were damaged condition and had immediately informed informed to the executive person and the Manager in Mumbai who assured that the same will be taken care next day as we had paid for the insurance, but later no one had visited us to take the report of the damaged goods till date and when I call them they initially answered my phones and now no one is answering the phone nor helping to claim the insurance. I had stopped the followup with them as this was costing me more as I have to daily call Mumbai for this case.
1. Would like to know whether we can file this case with Consumer forum now or its too late
2. What proofs will be required to register the case?
3. Where will this be filed in Mumbai or Bangalore?
4. Will there be need to travel to Mumbai if the case is registered in Mumbai as I and my family members are in Bangalore
5. What will be the charges for this filing?
Would be of great help if you can assist me with the above queries and if possible the contact person mail id or phone no where this can be taken up?
Thanks and Regards

The company has not got the damaged furniture repaired and have not paid for the lost package. I need the help of this forum to get my due.

I have paid a certain amount for transfer of my household goods from Hyderabad to Kolkata to Apollo Movers and Packers (Hanuman Singh). The terms were home delivery. However goods were delivered very late and they left the goods on road at night 11 pm, in a terrible condition. Further some of the goods worth around Rs 6000 were missing. When I call them up they use slang languages or do not pick up the phone.
I am in a terrible depression.

I was not informed by Gati movers & Packers at the time of booking a Window AC from Ranchi to Mumbai (Docket number - 458232848) about the octroi charges that is applicable.
To my surprise I was made to pay Rs 1200 towards Octroi charges at the time of delivery. I requested Gati to reimburse me the Octroi amount which was paid by me on 12-May-10. They are not willing to pay the same. If I would have been informed about Octroi charges by Gati earler before the product was booked for delivery, I would have not opted for the same.
This is complete fraud from Gati Movers & Packers and I would appreciate if they can refund me the Octro charges paid by me on 12-May-10. I am copying the mail, which I received from Gati for your reference:
Dear Mr.Prakash,
We regret for the inconvenience caused as you were not informed earlier at the time of booking about the octroi charges that is applicable. Be rest assured that action will be taken to ensure this does not repeat. I have forwarded your mail to higher authority for necessary action.

I have packed & transported my things from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu to Bangalore through Chennai Packers & Movers on April 3rd, 2010. Manager from Coimbatore branch gave a commitment to deliver the things on April 4th 2010 afternoon. The commitment was to move the things in a single lorry without transferring the things to another lorry.
Employees of Chennai&packers and movers packed and loaded my house hold things in their lorry on April 3rd. When I called their numbers on April 3rd, no one responded properly and did not deliver the things on April 4th.
My family, sick mother, aged father and a small 4yrs old daughter suffered a lot to stay in Bangalore without house hold items, dresses and toiletries.
After repeated calls things partially (12 items were missing) delivered on April 5th.When I saw the lorry on April 5th, it was a different lorry and things were loaded along with some one else things. No proper reason was given for transferring my things to another lorry.
In both the deliveries, the following house hold items were damaged and the report was taken by Chennai packers and movers with their signature. I have the carbon copy of the report and even after repeated calls made to their Coimbatore, Bangalore and Chennai offices, no proper response was received. I feel like harassed and getting mental agony, disturbances in sleep because of their ill treatment.
Mental agony is a lot more than that the money loss due to the damages.

By Alex Young
England put in a valiant performance as they lost 2-1 to Italy in their World Cup opener, with Daniel Sturridge particularly impressive in a frustrating game.
The Liverpool man led the line for his country and cancelled out Claudio Marchisio's opener before Mario Balotelli netted the winner, but the Three Lions left the field with plenty of pride diluting the obvious disappointment.
So who was good and who was bad? Goal examines how each player will have affected Roy Hodgson's thinking ahead of a must-win game against Uruguay...
The inclusion of Liverpool youngster Sterling was something of a surprise, with Southampton star Adam Lallana touted for a starting berth ahead of the game.
But Hodgson's faith was almost immediately rewarded as Sterling hammered a fine swerving drive narrowly past the post from over 30 yards.
Sterling was a threat throughout, his neat footwork and nimble balance distracting Giorgio Chiellini & Co. for the full 90 minutes.
Ross Barkley's impact was almost as thrilling as he tested Salvatore Sirigu within minutes of his second-half arrival with a fine curled effort from the edge of the area.
Hodgson has spoken previously of how he hopes the inclusion of such raw talents as the Everton youngster will give England another edge and element of surprise, and Barkley looked to prove his coach right with a number of incisive runs and continually looked to open up play.
The Liverpool man was trusted by Hodgson to lead the line for England at the World Cup - pushing Wayne Rooney to the left - and looked every bit the lone frontman.
Apart from taking advantage of a fine Rooney cross to level the scores in the first half, Sturridge did well to bring midfield players into the game - which is evidently crucial to Hodgson's attacking setup.
It was, however, of concern that the striker appeared to be hobbling when withdrawn 10 minutes from time. Sturridge will be key to England's chances in Brazil and, if fully fit, looks likely to improve his tally of five goals in his last nine outings.
For the first time in living memory, England entered a tournament with little-to-no expectation of reaching the latter stages of the World Cup, let alone be crowned winners.
Steven Gerrard acknowledged after the game that England were criticised for their negative approach four years ago and now hopes the more exciting brand of football under Hodgson would bring more enthusiasm from the fans - and if Saturday night is anything to go by, he will not be disappointed.
There is now genuine hope for England going forward, not necessarily in Brazil but perhaps when the next European Championships roll around in two years' time. But, for now, optimism has improved, oddly, following the loss.
The striker, playing on the left of a supporting attacking midfield three, struggled to make an impact for the majority of the first half.
Rooney did provide a fine cross for Daniel Sturridge's equaliser - but that proved the only remotely bright moment in a game which seemed to pass him by.
On the hour mark, Rooney found himself 10 yards from goal with a golden chance to equalise, but could only flash his shot wide. He capped off a largely frustrating night by hitting a corner straight out of play.
Hodgson, however, defended the striker after the game, insisting those criticising his performance were "looking" for negatives.
Even after missing out on a place in England's squad, the left-back still can't afford a wry smile. The performance of Leighton Baines reminded fans, and possibly Hodgson, of the Chelsea man's absent ability.
Rio Ferdinand, acting as a pundit for the BBC, said after the game that he still considers Cole to be one of the best left-backs in the world and, with Italy enjoying continued success down England's left flank throughout the game, supporters might have realised they miss the veteran defender more than they thought.
Antonio Candreva, playing on the right flank, was the star of the show for the Azzurri, and capped his performance with a beautifully lofted cross - after getting the better of Baines - for Mario Balotelli to head home the winner.
With the even more inexperienced Luke Shaw as back-up, England's defensive options appear lacking if they qualify out of Group D and into the latter stages of the tournament.
Indeed, Glen Johnson, on the opposite flank, did not fair much better. While his attacking mindset was welcome in the early stages of the game as England looked to come out of the traps fastest, his questionable defensive abilities were stretched as the game wore on.
While Baines could be forgiven, in part, for mistakes due to Rooney leaving him overloaded by both Candreva and Matteo Darmian, the Liverpool right-back let himself down with sloppy positioning.
In the centre, Phil Jagielka again helped his burgeoning reputation on the international scene with a solid performance capped off with a fine, and instinctive, headed off-the-line clearance from a Balotelli chip.
His partner, though, was outdone by the AC Milan man for Italy's winner as Gary Cahill, not for the first time, was guilty of leaving space at the back and was beaten in the air by striker.

None of the 16 passengers and 4 crew personnel on board were injured in the incident.
The aircraft, which was bound for Luxembourg, has been severely damaged following the wheel up landing.
Pictures indicate the aircraft's engine nacelle mounted landing gear in retracted condition.
The reason how the landing gear got retracted during the roll is being investigated.

Yugoslavia's Muslims, the country's third-largest religious group, are becoming restive. To a government without one strong leader at the helm, drifting backward economically and awash in foreign debt, this religious upsurge is an unwelcome development.
In August, 11 Yugoslav ''Muslim nationalists'' were sentenced to 90 years' imprisonment between them for spreading ''pan-Islamism'' and wanting to turn Bosnia-Her-zegovina into a separatist Muslim republic.
The trial produced the heaviest and biggest crop of political sentences handed down in Yugoslavia since the Stalinist years after the war.
The harsh judgment has set observers to pondering whether Yugoslav authorities fear that mounting Muslim unrest in Yugoslavia could be more disruptive than the nationalism that spawned Albanian riots in the southern province of Kosovo two years ago.
The Yugoslav leaders have on their hands acutely worrisome and growing nationalistic echoes of old ''separatist'' talk in several parts of the country.
More serious still, there is no one national leader like the prestigious Josip Broz Tito - who was often ruthless in dealing with ethnic separatism - to cope with them. Since Tito's passing in 1980, the country has been run by a multinational collective leadership representative equally of the six republics and two regions (Kosovo and Vojvodina).
The 1981 riots in Kosovo laid a fuse that snaked a way outside its own borders to ignite new waves of nationalism, also of a politically religious hue, in several republics, especially in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is home to almost half of Yugoslavia's 4 million Muslims. Two million are Slavic, the bulk of them in Bosnia-Herzegovina; the rest are spread through the other republics. Two million non-Slavic Muslims live largely in Kosovo and Macedonia.
Almost all are Sunnis, which means the militants among them - including a young Muslim movement with a tradition and terrorist past going back to the prewar Yugoslav kingdom - are not necessarily supporters of a Khomeini-style Islamic revolution.
But many are fundamentalists and fanatic in demanding a ''purely Muslim'' Bosnian republic.
Only a few years ago, one could observe that attendance at the mosques, even in Kosovo or Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina, was meager.
But the once-aging and shrinking religious community has been rejuvenated by a young generation, which has imbued it with the new political meaning for Islam touched off by the Iranian revolution of 1979.
Nationalism has always had a snowball effect in Yugoslavia - from Croatia to Serbia in the early 1970s, from Kosovo in 1981 to the even bigger Muslim community in Bosnia-Herzegovina a year or so later. But it may not benefit any nationality - Serb or Croat, Orthodox or Muslim - to push things to any kind of separatist breakup of a union that many analysts say has benefited them all.

Alfred Aderibigbe, a medical assistant with a community health center in Ede, Osun State, has been arrested on Tuesday by the Police for allegedly causing the death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke on Sunday.
Sahara Reporters reports that he is currently detained at the State Investigation Bureau of the Nigeria Police in Osogbo.
The Osun State government and the deceased family wanted an autopsy to be carried out to find out the cause of the death and the result showed that the senator died of drug overdose.
Phone call records obtained from his phone confirmed that the Senator called Aderibigbe on many occasions to administer some drugs on him after he complained of pain in his leg.
On Sunday morning, the Senator started complaining that he was feeling unwell and sent for Aderibigbe to give him painkillers intravenously, a double dose of analgesics was administered on the Senator. Shortly after he had a heart attack and was later taken to Biket Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

CORAL SPRINGS — Panthers prospect Zach Hyman isn't used to flying under the radar as he did once again during his third development camp last week.
But Hyman, the Panthers' fifth-round pick in 2010, seems to be relishing the anonymity that has eluded him for most of his life.
Already an accomplished author of two children's books at 21, Hyman, who was all smiles after scoring a dazzling goal in Friday's post-scrimmage shootout session, is now in Israel where he and younger brother Spencer will represent Team Canada in this week's Maccabiah Games.
"It's funny, I could never go to Israel because of hockey and now hockey is taking me there,'' said Hyman, a center/right wing entering his junior year at Michigan where he's honing his defensive skills under legendary coach Red Berenson.
The muscular, 6-foot-2, 200-pound Hyman used to hear the occasional anti-Semitic chirp on ice, but he was accustomed to ignoring taunts from the opposition.
When you wear the name, 'Hyman,' on your jersey in elite junior hockey leagues around Toronto, it's akin to being the son of the late George Steinbrenner while playing in the Yankees organization.
Zach's father, Stu Hyman, a wealthy real estate developer, began collecting junior hockey organizations and teams when his eldest of five hockey-playing sons was 6.
At one point in 2003, Hyman's hockey empire consisted of nearly 100 junior teams, including the Jr. Canadiens and Toronto Red Wings, prestigious AAA organizations in the Greater Toronto Hockey League.

You know after doing some digging I realized...............WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A COMICS INDUSTRY HERE!!
I could have sworn it died out after that last hurrah in the 90s with the collection fetish.
Ok I know that's an exaggeration and I know that graphic novel formats have lead to money being made for the big comic houses. That being said, I never see or hear many kids actually pick up the darn things to read. You're much more likely to see kids read a VIZ import than something stateside in schools (and im not just talking about the nerdy kids).
Anyways, can anything be done to reinvigorate the industry here stateside. I don't dislike the leotard leagues that prance around in like EVERY SERIES but it seems as if the medium is suffocated by the superhero set.
Whats more, the movies have done NOTHING to elevate the level of genuine consumption.
Naturally I doubt it can become the level of Japan but you'd think we could at least have one as visible as France and Belgium.

I only liked a couple comics in my younger days, and they were fairly simple (I think it got as complex as Sonic the Hedgehog, lol). But then there were the comics with like a million colors in one panel (all shades of dark colors) and stuff of that sort and it was just a pain to read. If there's one thing I can appreciate about the Bleach manga, it's that I know what the hell is happening in the majority of the panels
Yeah, I prefer manga, but I suppose I haven't looked at the old comic book for a long time now.

Well some mangas are barely intelligible as well, but generally speaking yes manga style is simple and easier to read (although the layout with the speech bubbles is really annoying).
I really want to see more French comics, they have a lot of genres and story types.

Comic books are too expensive, too focused on superheroes (and "adult" fans), and have too limited distribution. The writers and artists lost the kids market in the eighties (or maybe even earlier) and now the whole industry is dwindling away chasing a smaller and increasingly older core group of fans.
One of the reasons manga is successful is because much of it still targets kids, something lost on the American comic publishers who seem content to push out yet another "Crisis Ad Infinitum" where the "heroes" kill and rape each other.

As far as American comic books go, I don't believe it's necessarily the themes that have imploded the market. If you still had comics that were mostly targeted for younger readers, you'd lose the adult market. And would kids now and days even read them anyways with the internet and video games occupying their attention? I don't think so. That's what took the industry by storm. Technology.
It's the format that has a strangle hold on the industry, not necessarily the medium also. Which is why digital comics are probably a way of the future. Doing the monthly periodical is just not enough time for artists, inkers, writers, colorists etc. to crank out month to month without issues like missed deadlines and the like. Trade paperbacks are becoming much more popular for the consumer as well. They don't have to wait month to month to get the entire story arch. I think it's just a question of sales. When is the tradepaperback going to outdo the monthly periodical. I think with other places like Europe where they'll release one really well done graphic novel a year sometimes is a good format. Or at least every couple of months I'm guessing. Just seems a lot more practical. I don't want to the periodical to go away, but I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually did. At least in paper form.

Don't get me wrong pal, there is some good work done in the superhero realm. Much like how I love Snoopy and Bugs still being alive, there is something to be said for timelessness of certain cartoon characters.
Although people like Bill Waterson and John Kricfalusi have (probably rightly so) made depricating observations of how pretentious and overly dramatic and laboriously over developed the stories have become.
Only problem is that (generally speaking) comics=superheros in this country, it's a near unilateral universal law that's even more narrow than Animation=Disney or reasonable impression thereof.
My mom is a huge comic book nut (god bless her) and she goes into the riot act whenever Hollywood butchers her favorite franchise (remember the butchering of the X-Men Phoenix deal?) and I keep telling her......NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE ORIGINAL WORK!
It's a shame really.

Originally stuff like Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and X-Men were radical new wave style of comics because they humanized characters and treated them more as average joes having to deal with the day to day shit life brings you.
I don't want to say it got away from that entirely it's just that there's like what 8 writer and artist teams working on their own individual take on Spider-Man and whomever, with their own super developed universe. It wasn't always like that. Frankly that hardcore inbred development is not noob friendly in the least.
(Devil's advocate, you could argue Gundam is the same to a lesser degree).
I'll be frank with you my main window into DC and Manga universe was through the largely kickass animated adaptions of the 1990s, not the books themselves.

The main issue with american comics is that they keep desperately trying to keep people's interest with new "events" and give certain writers almost complete control of the universe. Dwayne McDuffie (R.I.P.) got screwed out of a job writing one of the best comics on the market because of that, and how many people do you know who read R.E.B.E.L.S. while most comic book fans are keeping up with Brightest Day (I admit, I am too, I'm just really tired of John's run on GL).
American Comics have created new characters, in the 90s almost every single character got a reboot, and then seriously declined in popularity. The comic industry is in too much trouble to do something crazy right now, so they keep playing it safe doing the same thing over and over and over again, which still loses them fans.
Of course there's still some amazing comics on the market (Morrison's Batman/ 5th World Epic for instance) and there will continue to be. After the comics boom of the 90s (which coincidentally was filled with some of the shittiest comics ever made) they had a bit of a collapse, but I have no doubt they'll be coming back eventually.

I think the problem with bringing new fans is the immense amount of plot baggage both the DC and Marvel universes possess at this point. The storylines have been 'rewritten' (example Crisis on Infinite Worlds) in the past to make it more simpler, so the comic industry definitely recognizes it as an issue, but inevitably as time goes by and more writers put their own spin, with their own side stories and background characters, the complex plots will be built back up to the point of being... well, less than newbie-friendly, let's put it that way.
That's why I was particularly fond of the Ultimate Marvel (other than the Ultimatum fiasco) line of comics. It has far less baggage than the others, and is the most suitable for new people to get started on. Problem is, that line is now almost 10 years old I believe, and thus starting to gain a bit of baggage on its own. Still, taking the odd hour or two of free time every couple of days, you could catch up in a year or so. That'd be impossible to do with the other comic brands.
Speaking of which, have they begun releasing volumes of comics in e-print form yet? They really need to if not, as that's the best way to catch up on a series.

The reasons for the decline are numerous, but much of it can be summarized in one word--content.
The 1990s saw a wave of anime that the US had never seen before, and with it came a swelling of interest in animated entertainment (like Pixar, etc.).
Comic book companies got a much needed boost during that time period with the introduction of manga-style works (Dark Horse comics, etc.).
As "animated entertainment" has become more sophisticated--starting with the debut of Americanized anime such as Starblazers, Battle of the Planets (US version of Gatchaman), and Robotech in the early 1980s--the "super heroes" that attract consumers have become more realisitic.
While the superheroes of Marvel and DC certainly have their core die-hard fanbase, that fanbase has given way to video game heroes like Master Chief, and Dante (from Devil May Cry) as well as anime heroes such as Spike (Cowboy Bebop), Kira Yamato (Gundam Seed), Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass).
Most of the heroes of Japanese anime are "normal" people in extraordinary circumstances. Even with their super powers, they're imperfect.
American superheroes on the other hand are perceived (whether correctly or not is immaterial to my point) as being muscle-bound, drop-dead gorgeous bomb-shells, who are infalible and never fail (I know that's not true of many comics, but it is the perception of the general public according to Publisher's Weekly).
Therefore it is clear that Anime and manga have also carved a large notch out of an already small niche of English speaking readers, particularly in the US.
As I said before, there are other factors that are contributing to this, but people are more interested in paying to watch Batman, Superman, the X-men, and other superheroes on the big screen (movies) than they are following a 100+ issue series of comic books.
It would seem that most people are willing to suspend their disbelief for a 2 hour movie or two, but not for a whole series of 30 page comics.
Besides, even with fabulous artwork, most people now-a-days are more willing to purchase a 300+ page hardcover novel for $25.00-30.00 US than they are to invest $3.99/issue of a 50-100+ issue series to get the whole story.
This gent puts into perspective the value aspects that comic books suffer from currently.
Entertainment "Bang for your Buck."
I doubt comic books will ever totally vanish.
Personally, I see the Marvel and DC titles eventually becoming more like Japanese manga.
It will be a slow transition IMHO, but I think it is inevitable due to younger generations be more inclined to "manga" rather then "comics." (I know they're basically the same thing )

I almost entirely agree with TurkeyPotPie. The only area where I disagree with him is that I think that superheroes are still quite popular (as shown by how Hollywood is adapting them into big budget live-action movies at a breakneck pace right now, and started doing so several years ago now). The problem is that DC and Marvel has to a great extent lost sight of what made super heroes (and their comics) popular in the first place.
At some point in the 90s, the North American comic book industry made a big shift towards appealing to the hardcore collector.
This is when you saw:
1) Lots and lots of fancy covers (i.e. metallic bits, embossed, one cover over another, etc...)
2) Big crossover events, at least once per year, often including a special limited run title dedicated entirely to that big crossover event.
3) Shifted from newspaper print style paper to glossy magazine style paper
4) Due to all of the above, prices getting jacked up considerably (well beyond what inflation alone can justify).
As a kid in the mid-to-late 80s/early 90s, I could go to just about any convenience store or grocery store or book store or mall and find loads and loads of comics there. Each of them would be between a $1.00 to $1.50, except for those that were larger than usual (which was fine, because you were paying extra money for extra content). Most comics you picked up could work well as a stand-alone (i.e. you'd get a full, complete story within the comic itself), or if not, they'd at least be up-front about it ("Part 1 of 6", for example, would be marked on the cover of comics that weren't standalone). The comic stories themselves were usually serious, but they had all the charm of classic super-hero stories, being fun, easy reads. They were generally not as "grimdark" as they have been since.
All of the above made comics very attractive and accessible to kids and younger teenagers. They were very "pick up and go", not a significant cost for most kids, and you didn't need an encyclopedic-level knowledge of a character's background in order to enjoy or fully get that character's stories.
What has happened since is that comics are now very bogged down with detailed and intricate continuity, they have a high price point when you consider the quantity of content most comics have (i.e 32 pages or less, some being advertisements), and they're increasingly grimdark and political in their themes. Some of this is great for adults who appreciate such depth, and connection to more serious real world issues, but they're barriers for kids.
For example, an event like Marvel's somewhat recent "Civil War", loaded with politics and political allegories and very grimdark battles between superheroes, doesn't exactly capture the imagination of a kid who would think it would be cool to be a super-hero. DC's infinite number of Infinite Crisis' doesn't exactly appeal to kids either.
Super heroes, by their very nature, appeal more to youthful wish fulfillment and heady adventurous dreams than anything else. Contrasting them with a darker and/or more grounded mood and atmosphere can be interesting and compelling (which is much the same reason why the anime Madoka Magica works so well), but too much of that can drain the genre of what made it appealing in the first place (which is also why I hope that Madoka Magica won't result in every magical girl anime from now on being similarly grimdark).
For example, right now, as we speak, Superman is walking across America, in the aptly named story arc "Grounded". Yes, the way to capture the imagination of kids who love the idea of flying and beating up bad guys is to feature the guy who inspired "Look! Up in the sky!" walking across America, talking to local news reporters and everyday people as though he was a politician campaigning for votes. I'd love to see Haruhi Suzumiya's reaction to how DC is currently handling its flagship alien. I think she'd be thoroughly disgusted, myself.
Manga has very wisely not lost sight of what made it popular in the first place, and hence has remained true to its roots. Some things have been refined - modern shounen titles progress at a quicker pace than the DBZ of old, for example - but on the whole, shounen still speaks to the male Japanese kid that dreams of kicking ass in cool adventures with awesome powers with a never say die attitude. That may be horribly cliche for adults, but for many kids, they haven't lived long enough to fully appreciate what "cliche" even means. Manga has also kept to the less expensive non-glossy paper, enabling it to keep its prices pretty low.
I sadly think that comic books can perhaps never get to where they once were, or where shounen manga is right now. But if they ever do, it'll be by recapturing what made them popular in the first place. In this vein, I would encourage Marvel and DC to take a good, hard look at their 60s through 80s comics, and really stop to ask themselves "What made these so popular? What did they have that modern comics usually don't?", and then work from there.

2002 Rating: 2.5 stars
Coming off the honor of being part of Advertising Age's Global Agency Network of the Year for 2002, Saatchi & Saatchi's U.S. offices battled a tough 2003. It wasn't getting any better for the Publicis Groupe agency at the end either when Johnson & Johnson waltzed off to Interpublic Group of Cos.' Deutsch with its $85 million Tylenol account as well as other J&J brands.
The loss of Johnson & Johnson was both an emotional and a financial blow given the longevity of the 28-year relationship. J&J still works with Saatchi on a global basis, so New York took the brunt of the hit, laying off between 40 and 60 staffers.
Saatchi also found itself fighting for the Greater New York Toyota Dealers Association, an account worth $90 million. Saatchi eventually retained the business but not without some harsh words from the dealers.
Expect the agency to fill some holes with healthcare accounts. Saatchi has also said it wants both a beer and an airline account. And while its revenue figures for 2003 look great, in part as a result of taking over D'Arcy business and winning new projects from General Mills and Toyota, executives close to the agency say 2004 might be a different story if Saatchi doesn't raise its game in new business.

Back in 1965, white people made up about 88% of the population in the United States, and the nonwhite population was about 12%. Today, people of color make up 37% of the population in the United States. In 1965, there were fewer than 9 million Hispanics in the U.S. By 2013, there were 54 million Hispanics in the U.S. In 1965, there were about 16 million Asian Americans in the U.S. By 2013, there were more than 18 million. We are becoming a more colorful country.
The demographics of our country are changing every minute of every day. Each day, the size of the U.S. population increases by more than 8,000 people, and nearly 90% of that growth comes from people of color. In 2011, the majority of babies born in America (50.4%) were not white. A baby is born every seven seconds in our country, resulting in 12,343 births per day. At the other end of the age spectrum, the racial composition of the over-65 segment of the population is 78% white. So, while a majority of the births in our country are from babies of color, the vast majority of deaths are people who are white.
There are about 6,048 white babies born in America every day. There are 5,204 white deaths in America every day, meaning that our white population increases by 844 people every day. There are about 6,295 babies of color born in America each day. There are 1,442 deaths of people of color, meaning that our nonwhite population increases by 4,853 every day. Do you see a trend here?
More than 90% of all immigrants to America are people of color. In terms of legal immigration, 2,618 people are added to the U.S. population each day. When these are added to the net increase from births and deaths for people of color, 7,471 people of color are added to the U.S. population each day, in contrast to 1,053 white people who are added to our population each day. Clearly, we are becoming a more colorful country.
Some who have been a part of the majority, who see their numbers declining, seem to be reacting with nervousness, anxiety, and fear. But, perhaps God is giving us a unique opportunity. As Christians, we need to ask ourselves, what is God up to here? Why is God causing this to happen or allowing this to happen? Perhaps the challenges that come from our changing demographics are actually opportunities. Maybe God is strengthening us rather than weakening us. Can we rise above the negativity and the fear of our culture and model a healthier response?
In Matthew 8:11, Jesus says that "many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of heaven." The picture Jesus gives us is that people will come from all over the world, from many countries, and many racial ethnic groups to be a part of the coming Kingdom of God. It could be that God is preparing us for that future time by helping us get to know people from different backgrounds to understand the vast creativity and imagination of God. We used to have to go into the world to share the good news of Jesus with people from other colorful backgrounds, but now they are coming to us. We can now share our faith with many different kinds of people without having to leave the communities where we live.
Some people of color have a strong faith in Jesus that can encourage our relationship with God. Some immigrants who come here are bringing about a revival in our nation as they share their faith in Christ with us. Some people are coming here as missionaries since the United States is now the third largest mission field in the world. What if people from other countries were not coming here to steal our jobs, but to inspire a deeper faith in God? Why do some Christians respond with such fear, when the command found most often in the Bible is "do not fear"? When I lived in California, I had many friends who were from Hispanic or Asian backgrounds. I learned a lot from them, from their faith, and from how they viewed the world.
Maybe what some think is a curse is actually a blessing. Maybe what some think is a problem is actually a solution. Maybe what some think is a crisis is actually an opportunity. Maybe God is surprising us again and teaching us something we need to learn. Maybe we need to take off our cultural glasses and put on our Biblical glasses to see our world through different lenses. Maybe we could learn to respond in faith instead of in fear. Different is not always bad. Change is not always bad. Variety is not always bad. Maybe God is leading us to a new level of trusting Him, where we realize He is still in control, and we are going to be OK. Maybe we can all learn something new from each other.

A vital ingredient for all cooks - usually fried with onion at the start of the cooking process. Great mixed with Riverford butter and spread on bread before putting in oven to make delicious garlic bread.
Garlic should be kept in a dry and airy place to delay sprouting and the development of rots. If well dried it should keep for several months even at room temperature though it shows an increasing tendency to sprout as spring approaches.
Did you know?
Garlic's strong flavour is caused by a chemical reaction that happens when the garlic cells are broken. The flavour is at its most intense just after it's chopped or crushed.
