Jockey Quotes
JOEL ROSARIO, ULTRA BLEND, Winner: "She just tries all the time. She broke a little slow and it took her a little while to find her stride. She's been running long the last three races, so I wanted to give her time to get into a good stride. She picked it up and picked it up and eventually she got it right. She never quits and she loves to run. She's a little filly, but she can run."
Trainer Quotes
ART SHERMAN, ULTRA BLEND, Winner: "She's kind of a little bit lazy and when you whip her to the outside, she switches to another gear. That's been the way she's run ever since I had her. If it was a flat mile, that would be her best race. Of course, a six horse field helps a lot, too. You don't get into any trouble that way. She likes dirt the best. She'll run on grass, but I think she can grab a hold of it a little better on dirt. I'm going to nominate her for the Sunshine Milllions (Jan. 29) and that will probably be her next go-around. I'll play it by ear to see who else is going and put her in both races (the $200,000 Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Sprint at Gulfstream Park and the $300,000 Sunshine Millions Distaff at Santa Anita) and see where we go from there."

Former deputy plays cop in 'Sleepy Hollow'
SALISBURY — A Salisbury lawyer put his skills as a former Rowan County Sheriff's deputy to work last week as a cop in "Sleepy Hollow."
David Bost, 30, heard 20th Century Fox needed black and silver vehicles for the TV pilot, which was filmed in downtown Salisbury. The owner of a black truck, Bost applied and provided the required make and model of his car, a headshot and his clothing sizes.
But an hour before Bost and his truck reported for duty Monday night, he got a call from casting. One of the extras who was supposed to play a cop couldn't come, and Bost had the same measurements.
Suddenly, Bost was pulling on a cop costume, complete with holster and fake gun. He worked about 20 hours over two nights, making $10 an hour.
"I really enjoyed it," he said. "I love movies."
The best part was "seeing how this comes together, the nuts and bolts of it."
Between 150 and 200 people worked on the set, which included small explosives, gunfire, fog and stunt activity.
Bost met stars Tom Mison, who plays Revolutionary War soldier Ichabod Crane, and Nicole Beharie, the modern-day sheriff who needs Crane's help to solve the mysteries of a town ravaged by a battle between good and evil. Crane and his nemesis the Headless Horseman are time travelers in the supernatural thriller.
Bost also met director Len Wiseman, known for directing "Total Recall" and "Live Free or Die Hard."
Initially, Bost spent most of his time inside the parish hall at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, drinking coffee and listening to more experienced extras tell stories about working on "Homeland" and "Banshee," TV shows also shot in the Charlotte area.
Finally, at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, Bost was called for his first scene.
He and another cop confronted Ichabod Crane as he entered the mock graveyard at St. Luke's.
"He's walking into the graveyard, looking around, and at that point we are supposed to keep him from coming up to the grave," Bost said.
While his gun and radio were fake, Bost had a real flashlight, which he was directed to shine in Crane's face. He had no lines, and his gun remained holstered.
"They were clear, 'Do not pull your gun,' " Bost laughed.
The scene lasted less than a minute, but filming took hours.
"They must've filmed it 15 different times from different angles," he said.
Mison made a point to say hello to the extras in the scene and shake their hands.
Filming ended at 6:45 a.m. Tuesday, and Bost had been awake for 24 hours. He grabbed a nap before reporting at the set again Tuesday night, where crews filmed the graveyard scene, as well as Bost and another extra walking down the stairs behind the Rowan Museum.
If "Sleepy Hollow" gets picked up as a series on Fox, film crews will return to Salisbury this summer. But Bost, who passed the bar a year ago, said he doubts his schedule would allow him to play an extra for weeks on end.
His two-day gig as an extra satisfied his curiosity about TV and movie production.
"I'm really hoping they air the pilot," he said.

At the company's offices, dozens of Replicators are humming at any given moment, churning out all kinds of 3D printed objects. Many are simply test objects to make sure the devices are properly aligned and ready to be sent off to a buyer. But right now, the company is also slowly turning out the parts for its first-ever "Robot Petting Zoo," a display that will make its debut at Maker Faire in San Mateo, Calif., next month.
On a shelf at the company's Brooklyn offices, workers have stored a number of 3D printed robots, each of which is awaiting the thrill -- if robots can have such emotions -- of delighting kids and adults alike at Maker Faire.

want to receive our newsletter in:
Where can you hear some of the most haunting and beautiful Grammy Award-winning music? In Bulgaria. Watch the prayerful dance of the Sufis? In Turkey. Visit the castle that inspired the Dracula character? In Romania. The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia, offering you an exotic blending of East and West.
The sea itself
Scientists suspect that the Black Sea was a freshwater lake about seven thousand years ago, until seawater from the Aegean breached the Bosphorus, the strait bisecting western Turkey, turning it into an inland sea. The Danube River, the border for miles between Bulgaria and Romania, is one of the primary European rivers supplying the Black Sea with fresh water. Some scholars believe that the Black Sea was the site of the deluge in the story of Noah and the Ark.
Historical Highlights
Turkey is where the Greeks (remember Helen of Troy?) the earliest Christians, and the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires flourished. Wander among the ruins at Ephesus, including the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and later the home of the Virgin Mary and St. John. Stop in Antalya where St. Nicholas lived; you may know him as Santa Claus.
Bulgaria, birthplace of the Cyrillic alphabet, was a powerful empire for centuries. The Thracians' success as mighty warriors and good land managers is reflected in their many monuments. Bulgaria's historical sites and treasures include what appear to be the world's oldest worked gold objects, from the Varna Chalcolithic necropolis, graceful stone carving at the Sveshtari Tomb and the slightly mysterious Madara Horseman.
Romanian history is truly dramatic, as wave followed wave of invasion and foreign rule over many centuries. The Dacians (Roman for Thracian) left modern-day Romania with loads of amazing archaeological sites. The Byzantine Painted Churches of Bucovina are covered in mesmerizing frescoes, and you'll find a significant Saxon influence resulting from the arrival of Germanic immigrants in the 12th century. There's a lot to discover about Romania!
Coastal Cities
On the northeast coast of Turkey lies Trabzon, where you can climb to the Sumela monastery, clinging to the cliffs outside the city since the 14th century. Further west is Safranbolu, a UNESCO Site, the last and largest repository of 19th century, half-timbered Ottoman houses. Drop down the Bosphorus, the strait connecting the Black Sea to the rest of the world, to visit Istanbul. The Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, and dozens of other sites will keep you busy for days of captivating touring.
Bulgaria's largest coastal city is Varna, established by the Greeks and a busy seaport ever since. A variety of museums will keep you entertained when you can tear yourself away from the coast; choose from archaeological, medical, maritime, history, and art collections. Go for a scenic drive or boat ride in the Kamchiya River Valley, or settle in at one of Varna's beach resorts. Nessebar is a must-see for its UNESCO-listed collection of architecture and it's incredibly fine sand beaches. If you're in the neighborhood of Osmar, plan a stop to taste some of its famous wines.
Jason and his Argonauts landed at Constanta, it's said, Romania's Black Sea coast hotspot and the 4th largest port in Europe. That would have been sometime ago, but clearly the spot was well-chosen. The city if happily littered with ruins and remnants of all the civilizations that recognized its excellent harbor. Travel inland to take in lovely Bucharest, once known as "little Paris", thanks to its Belle Époque architecture and active social scene. There is a wide choice of museums, historic buildings, and galleries to enjoy as well as a thriving and performing arts scene.
Nature and Adventure
Romania is famous for its soft sand beaches and the string of popular resorts strung along its Black Sea coast. The Danube Delta, listed by UNESCO, is a birdwatcher's paradise and wonderful for anyone who enjoys unsullied nature.

It's time we faced some inevitable facts about oil. We're running out of it, for one. Oh, we won't run out of oil tomorrow, or next year. In fact, oil may remain our primary energy source for the remainder of your lifetime. Still, the supply is finite.
More important for the immediate future, however, is that oil supplies and prices are extremely volatile - subject to enormous political pressure from various unstable governments around the globe. And since our global economy remains dependent on this relatively abundant and relatively cheap energy source, we'll continue to experience the volatility created by political unrest, terrorism, earthquakes and other disruptions.
Purdue University professor Steve Hallett believes we should invest in the development of new energy sources now, before supplies of oil and prices become even more critical. In his new book, "Life Without Oil: Why We Must Shift to a New Energy Future," Hallett argues that energy is the driver of our society's success and that the loss of abundant supplies of oil will significantly impact all facets of society.
The Purdue plant scientist says, "You tend to hear about oil from oil guys and plants from plant guys. And that makes perfect sense. What you don't get is the connections among those fields. Making connections is what ecologists do."
In "Life Without Oil," Hallett, who authored the book with Jon Wright, a journalist who has extensively covered energy issues, argues that throughout history all societies have collapsed, usually from the loss of a necessary resource. For our current society, that resource could be oil.
"We have a couple of choices: We either collapse, or we shift to something else," Hallett says.
The graph below shows the use of oil for energy as a large spike that began its ascent about a century ago and reaches its final descent about a century from now. Hallett says that spike is like an ecological input. The upward portion of the spike has advanced society rapidly, while the downward may create an uncertain and difficult future.
Hallett acknowledges the fact that energy-rich oil has improved our ability to produce more food, both agriculturally and through fishing. More abundant food has led to a rapid growth in the world's population, which necessitates more oil to keep people fed. Hallett also says that oil use is causing spikes in carbon emissions, which is a factor in climate change.

Hot Pink Living Room
The shocking hot pink of this formal living room partners perfectly with lime-green cotton-linen blend armchairs and a round ottoman in a coordinating botanical print. Pink-and-white batik draper panels and a geometric rug in similar hues imbue the room with a youthful vibe. For heft and a masculine touch, the fireplace surround was finished in glossy black paint.

Review: Frederic Galliano & The African Divas Woulai Re-Works
Two remixes from Soul Designer and Josh Brent, but it's the latter version that has me hooked: a banquet of African tribalisms, recursive vocal chants and a hint of lush ambience that takes me back to Carl Craig's inspirational 69" era. A beautiful piece of work. Read more »

These lifestyle changes will not prevent herpes outbreaks. But, they will help you live your life to the fullest.
Be Informed
Learn as much as you can about the virus. Ask you doctor questions and get more information from reputable websites and books.
Get Counseling
Your doctor can provide counseling about genital herpes, such as how the virus is spread and what symptoms to be aware of. In addition, you can work with a mental health counselor, who will help you deal with:
- The negative self-image that you may have after being diagnosed.
- Anger, stress, anxiety , and depression that you may feel.
You may also benefit from talking to friends and family and from joining a support group .
Communicate with Your Partner
- Talk to your partner about your diagnosis. He or she will need to be tested for genital herpes and get treatment if needed. Your doctor may be able to recommend ways to talk about a difficult topic like genital herpes.
- Before you have sex with a new partner, talk to him or her about your diagnosis.
- Share any information about genital herpes and ways to avoid spreading the virus. To learn more about herpes, your partner should also get counseling from his or her doctor.
Modify Your Sexual Activities
- Always use a latex condom. But, keep in mind that you can still spread genital herpes even if you use a condom. This is because the virus can exist on skin not covered by the condom.
- Genital herpes can affect your sexual spontaneity. So, you will need to plan ahead. If you have an outbreak, do not have sex.
Also, it is important to know that having genital herpes puts you at an increased risk for getting HIV if you are exposed to it.
Stay Healthy
- Get eight or more hours of sleep each night.
- Eat a sensible, well-balanced diet.
- Try to minimize stress at work and at home.
- Do not touch any visible sores or blisters. Make sure not to spread the virus to other parts of your body, such as your mouth or your eyes. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water if you do touch a sore or blister.
As soon as you see signs of an outbreak, tell your doctor right away. The sooner you take antiviral medicine, the shorter the outbreak will last.
If you are pregnant and have genital herpes, talk with your doctor about ways to prevent your baby from contracting the virus. Your doctor may have you take an antiviral medicine. In some cases, you may need to have a cesarean section to try to prevent herpes exposure to your baby during delivery.
If you have HIV, outbreaks of genital herpes can be more severe and long lasting. It is important that you work with a doctor who specializes in treating people with HIV so that you can get the best care possible.

Fraud Company
Posted by
ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA -- This is a fraud company. They take longest time for remittance. But in between if they get lower rate, they complete the transaction. Their motive is to give you minimum possible rate. Please try for yourself. The exchange rate which you will get will be much lower than their advertised rate on their website,. They lure you by showing good rates and then give you 30-40 paise less for every dollar. Stay away from them. Also, they are the only ones whose telemarketers will call you repeatedly to convince you to transfer money. No one else does so. They used to offer fixed rate money transfer also but they stopped because its in their blood to cheat. They can't play it fair. Try them 2 times and you will know for yourself if you pay attention.

Stay away from Remit2India Customer service is DUMMY
Posted by
Remit 2 India sucks BIG tIme. there customer service is NON EXISTENT. here is a proof:-
1) Any time you have an issue, you are asked to send a Email. You will get a reply for your email in 24 hours or more. In this day and age remit2India takes 1 day to get to your EMail - SHAME ON THEM
2) If you call customer service they ask you to send you an Email and wait for 24 Hours. If that's the case what's the point in Boasting 24 * 7 customer service ?? All you hear is send email and wait 24 hours.
3) Reply to your email comes as another question to you to clarify some thing and when you send a reply - guess what - wait for another 24 hours. This is a huge bag of sum and I am fed up. Shame TOI claims it is part of their network.

They are making people. Correctly said by others I tried sending thrice and every time they did not give me the indicative price. Even I traced on daily basis and during that week it doesn't go down to the exchange price what I got.
Use XOOM instead, they are very fast and quite reliable.

Remit2india is rude and illogical
Posted by
I initiated a gift transfer via remit2India. I have used them for 4 years and sans them calling repeatedly cold calling for promotions, they have been OK. I got a call from their compliance team who out of the blue after saying they are R2I compliance in a rude tone ask who my recipient was. I asked them what it was about. After 10 minutes I realized the interrogation I was going through was for my benefit. This representative was being rude to help me. I tried to explain why they had to let the customer know they were trying to help and clarify if the transaction was legit to start with before rude FBI type interrogation, the agent kept arguing. I had enough and asked for the manager. The agent tried to come back and talk - posing as a manager - when I asked for the manager again, he transfers me to a colleague who answered as the "manager". I thought I had clarified that this gift was indeed initiated by me and I confirmed-verified the recipient who is a friend.
12 days later when my recipient confirms did not receive the gift, I try to login to track the status and lo, my account is now inactivated. I called customer service and they said they cannot do much. All along I was talked to like I was a criminal. I talked tough and threatened to mail people and the agent calls back with a sorry tale of how they contacted my recipient and when they were unhappy with the way she answered they stopped the transaction and inactivated my account and the best of all, waited for me to find out and call them ; by the way their telephone was not working.
The agent calls again, talks for 45 minutes and some of his questions are :
1. You work for XYZ Bank why are you transferring money via us ?
2. Some details you gave did not match what recipient said so are you lying ?
3. He admitted he lied to me about a manager and transferred me to his colleague as that's common.
4. He dared me to see what I could do in terms of escalation.
So here it is, I will move my business to someone else ; If Remit2India values me as a customer, you know my id, respond to me..

Remit2India - a customer service nightmare
Posted by
I had used Remit2India in the past, and while it had always been a painful experience, I tried again recently.
They had lost all indication of my prior transactions and so I basically had to start from scratch, get them to check out the validity of my bank account, fill in all the forms, etc.
Customer services was all over me to get me to send money, and went completely silent after I had (or so I thought.)
A week went by, and since nobody replied to my emails anymore, and the online status tracker just threw an unhelpful error message, I called their customer support, where the automated thing just hung up on me, twice.
I dialed the only option to get a human on the phone, who then told me that the transaction has been closed.
When I asked whether that means that the money has been transferred successfully, I was told that no, it had been canceled, and they can't tell me why, because the security check failed, and they can't give me details for security reasons, but that I could send an email their general "info" email address to start another transaction.
A week and many emails later, I now am told that the locked me out of their system for security reasons.
The only explanation I can cough up is that when their security guys called and asked the same question over and over again, even though I either had already answered them or told them to hang on a second while I look up the info they requested, I asked how many more questions they had and why they kept asking the same questions over and over again. I guess they decided to just drop me, but pretended that all was fine and that they were done with the check.
Funny thing is that I had real security concerns because they asked so many questions that it seemed like a scam, as if they were trying to steal my identity for some fraud (who knows, maybe they did.)
What sucks is that the guy I wanted to send the money to is most likely going to end up in jail, because he owes the money and now has no means to pay it back.

Remit2india Is Unreliable
Posted by
UNITED STATES, MASSACHUSETTS -- PENNY WISE POUND FOOLISH to use Remit2India.com services:
I have used Remit2India before and I have got into small issues rarely and most of the time been satisfied. Some of these issues were finally resolved but this time I transferred USD 10,000 and it never got transferred to my NRE account in India. Its Shame on the Times of Money Group.
You can never get their Customer service number 1866 REMIT TO. Their live chat never works. Your repeated emails to relationship officers never is answered unless you say you are interested in transferring a big sum. Once you talk about your complaint you will never get back any call. Their online complaint system does not work. It never generates a tracking number for your reference. This company exists merely to cheat the NRIs. Beware of this group. Their scheme on refer your friend also does not really give you the bonus as they promised on site. My friend claimed to receive his bonus but I never received and I have failed to fight this battle. Since it was a small amount I wasn't bothered. But now its my principle amount of USD 10,000 involved.
It's safe to use ICICI, Western Union than to have sleepless nights after bad experience with Remit2India. the customer service people are reachable and at least there is some response. But not so with Remit2India.
They have the concept of Insuring the money being transferred. Ridiculous. So, the company acknowledges that it is not safe to use their own site and that it is totally unreliable.
They should advertise "Use Remit2India and Win your own Principle amount". Forget about exchange rate challenge.
Unfortunately there is not much an NRI can do sitting in a country outside India. If someone has any information on how to battle this out please suggest. Is there a place where I can file a suite against such companies?

Please save yoursef from Remit2India, such a bad service , its a shame to Timse group of companies, They have a Exchange rate challenge instead if they have a delivery of money challenge, they will never win..What a shame on a big company like this.
I registered with Remit2India recently and sent some money from singapore to india, I was attracted to this site by their exchange rates, they had a better exchange rate then the ICICI money to india, The registration process was pretyy cool and I had good impression on this site because it belongs to Times Group, India.
I realized my mistake when I checked the status in this site after couple of days, My status always showed as "Money Awaited" I waited for 4 days as the instruction in the site said it would take 3 to 4 days after the transfer, I waited for 4 days to see my status say "Money Awaited", I mailed them couple of times and I got a reply from them asking me to send a transaction screen shot of my bank account which I did it. Iam still waiting for the day that my money would reach the receiver whom I sent to.
I would suggest them to appoint new managers who are really result oriented and can take up the challenge and turn all the bad names that this company had got into good name by gaining the trust of the customers by serving them better. If this company does not do that , I assure that we can find a news one day in some news paper saying the Times money colapsed, this is for sure.

Do Not Use Remit2India.
Posted by
Yes, Remit2India is worst way to send money to India.
They hold your money until the exchange rate drops and they tell you excuses like "You have not made any remit transactions recently that is the reason for the delay."
They held my transaction nearly 3 weeks and transferred funds when the rate dropped from 55.36 + bonus 5 paisa to 53.13.
When you call customer service they put you on hold for long time. It is a frustrating experience for me also.

Remit2India is a CHEAT
Posted by
AVENEL, NEW JERSEY -- Guys, all those using Remit2india please stop so as soon as possible. Firstly, while writing this I need to tell you all that I am not a competitor of Remit2india but a mere customer who has been cheated. I live in NJ. I had transferred 3000 dollars to India and the time I got a mail from Remit2India stating that the transfer is complete and the money has been sent to my account the rates were 50.2. So I should be getting 150000 and more but got 149700. When I called these guys up they told me that the rate I got is 50 and then there is a transfer charge also. These cheats had told me that I will get the exact amount what I see on the net and there will be no other charges, when I opened my account.
I think the economy is going down and Citibank is trying all means to get money to save their A$% to be in the market. I will be going ahead and putting this review up in other sites also. Please remember that not to use Remit2India.
One concern I always have is why does our people in India have all sorts of excuses and cheat as much as possible?

Is "Money2India" A Government Organization?
Posted by
Is "Money2India" a govt. organization??? I hope it is true. I requested for money transfer of $500.00 on 30th Sept.
I had sent the SSN copy on 5th Oct. Till now there is no progress in my transaction that I made. What are the people doing there? Are they sleeping like Govt. employees?? How many days do they need to verify my SSN?? When I call to Customercare they are telling that usually they will take 24-48 hrs for verification.
Normally Customercare will work 24/7. But Remit2India Customercare works like normal office hours. Normally other banks will take maximum 1 week to complete the transaction.What happened in my case?? Do I need to transfer more than $500.00?? Sorry for that I am poor guy, I can transfer the amounts like this.

From their website apparently they are an independent bank

ICICI Bank currently has its registered office at Landmark, Race Course Circle, Vadodara 390 007 and its corporate office at ICICI Bank Towers, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai - 400 051.

Remit2india Cheating Customers
Posted by
AUSTRALIA -- Hi,
This is an experience I wanted to share with a broader community about the ripoff I had when transferring some funds overseas using Remit2India service whose funds transferer is Citibank. These companies have been taking customers for granted and fooling them with advertising false exchange rates and transferring money at much lower rate than advertised on the website.
I transferred $2001 using their service to my NRE account in India on 8th November.However the funds got converted on 13Nov and they have transferred the money @34.38 when it was advertised on the Net @ 35.16. Upon following this with their team they accepted the mistake over the phone but sent a email telling that they won't transfer the balance.
This is just a rip off of innocent customers who falls prey to fraudulent companies like this.
I would not recommend Remit2India service to anyone and I would be taking up legal actions against this company so that it doesn't trap any other customers with their false advertisement.
They take Australian customers for granted and don't provide customer service.
I have been reading loads of complaints about this company online and its time that some action needs to be taken.
I would strongly recommend ICICI Bank's Money to india service as they don't rip off customers like this and provide a much better level of service.
DON'T SEND MONEY OVERSEAS USING www.remit2india.com because next time you wouldn't even know if your money would reach to your loved ones. This company does nothing else except for promising to give better exchange rates and advertise crap on their website.

Surprised with bad reviews! REMIT2INDIA is honest and hassle free
I am surprised at such bad reviews. I have been using Remit2india's smart wire service since last 8 months transferring approx £1200 each time. For me it has been very smooth with no hiccups, my account also shows me the status and never had to call them for delays or other hassles. I have used everything from xoom to ICICI earlier (with ICICI giving the worst exchange rate) but nothing was as hassle free as this. In recent month they seem to have also revamped their site and its pretty user friendly now, yes I agree earlier it was a little cumbersome, but now it's a breeze.
I am not switching over to any other service anytime soon.

I will not be surprised if someone investigates and finds they are operating illegally. Most remittance services are upfront about charges and rates but these guys create a fuzziness on purpose! [snip] Simple googling shows how scores of people have been cheated! There is not much to recommend Remit2India
nikesh on 04/21/2008:
Remit2India is better than the rest
I am recent convert of Remit2India and to put it on record my experience has been fabulous. My brother transfers me money every month from Singapore and so far he was using either Western Union or money2india(a pain!), but both these offered a really low rate and the also charged a service fee. With Remit2India I donât have to go looking for an authorised center to receive my cash, it comes directly into my bank account. The exchange rate is slightly better too. For me Remit2india is any day a better service than the dozen others out there..
hkv on 09/28/2008:
I recently did a transfer and found that Remit2India is cheating us. When I transferred, I was tracking the exchange rates everyday. I got an exchange rate of 43.84. As per my tracking I should have got 44.13 (I had not seen an exchange rate below 44.03 on their site in past 3 days from the date of money dispatch, assuming they used an earlier date).
I did the same tracking with money2india and I am happy to say that the exchange rate I got with them matched what I saw on the site.
If these sites want to be credible, I challenge them to put up a historical exchange rate chart of every rate change (date, time, exchange rate). And they should put a date/time for conversion on every money transfer. As of now I would not recommend Remit2India to anyone. They are just about advertising.
I have a complaint with money2india too. You can transfer only up to 5000 using ACH. However their rate goes up if you transfer 5001 or more. The stupid thing is that if you send a check of more than 5000, then it takes them 3 weeks to clear it. The other option is to wire the money to them - where you pay ~$20 to your bank. Also their exchange rate tool is painful to use - the chart on Remit2India is much more user friendly.
hariimmadi on 10/12/2008:
I feel, Following reasons are enough to advise not to do business with Remit2India.
Fraud in Remit2india service? MAY BE YES... I sent money 25 days back and the money still haven't reached the recipient......................
Is customer service good @ Remit2india? ABSOLUTELY NO.... when checking about transaction status, even they don't have authorization to give 100% details of the transaction
and the only guys have access is "COMPLIANCE DEPARTMENT" who can be reached only by e-mail.......................
Can you expect response from compliance department @ Remit2india immediately? ABSOLUTELY NO....... every time, you ask to check into transaction further which can't be
handled by customer service, you get an e-mail from compliance department which says, we will get back to you within 24-48 hrs.... and u know what, you will get final status of the
inquiry only after a week. this happened to me thrice on the same transaction which took for a total of 3 weeks and still no result as of today......................
Can you take legal action against Remit2India? ABSOLUTELY YES..... yes... you heard it correct... this is what I was told by Remit2India customer service when asked if I can do
anything on a transaction with no status even after 25 days......................
Does customer service @ Remit2India show courtesy? ABSOLUTELY NO... when asked to talk to a higher manager to inquire more about a transaction that was not complete even
after 3 weeks, the response I got was " customer service agent hung up the phone on my face"......................
rest you might have heard from other forums like "how pathetic it is to do business with Remit2India, how Remit2India manipulates transaction exchange rate by taking the lowest rate of all the business days to complete a transaction and give the lowest to you etc....

Akshat Sharma on 06/11/2013:
This is the first time in my life that I am writing a bad review for any service. Remit2India should be proud that they finally made me write one. Already 11 days since I initiated my transaction and it still shows KYC pending, sending money is far thing. Continuously calling customer care representatives regarding the issue, but all they have to say is your call is arranged and you should receive it soon. Same story is going on till 6 days. I would just suggest, if you cannot provide the service then please stop making fool of customers who just keep waiting that someday will come when they will receive the money in their Indian account. I have used other services, they are far better. I just wanted to try it ones, but that's my worst decision ever and sorry to say this is the worst service I have ever seen
Santosh on 06/13/2013:
Same here. I have initiated transaction on 6th June 2013. It is still waiting for "Under compliance review". Tried calling their support number more than 10-15 times and no one picks up. Email do get replies with assurance but nothing happens. They should really just stop the service if they can not commit.
unhappy customer of R2I on 07/08/2013:
All that they do is advertising high exchange rates but they do it only so that they get customers. The money conversion happens after 4 days of transaction and I have been watching the rates each time I transfer money and the I have repeatedly noticed that they do not apply the actual ex rate on the day of conversion. I always got about 60 to 80 cents less than what they show oon their website. It is like cheating of about 2%. That means Everyone gets ripped off by 2% all the time.
chrisP on 07/16/2013:
Very slow . Compliance department works like some government office in a underdeveloped country. The user interface even though changed is no where close to any perfect interfface only works with IE what a pity?
Unless you have a representative on phone everything is by email and snail pace. very dissatisfied as this is no representation of systems and process we can be proud of

Cute! Love the sheet metal idea, and your little banners make it extra fun
Thanks Kelly!
I like the looks of that organizer. I have the same problem with papers and receipts and bills piling up with no good place to put them. I need a trip to target anyway!
Don't you just love excuses to go to Target?!
Love the organizer! Thanks for sharing- found you from Tatertots and Jello!
Thanks so much for stopping by Jess!
Great ideas! The sheet metal looks fantastic (and functional)! Love your blog! Newest follower!
April Hoff
Thanks April! So glad to have you here!
Looks so cute! I wanted to do that too but worried about my cabinet doors knocking into it…..did you find that to be a problem with yours?
Diana – the cabinet door does knock into it just a bit, but we are pretty gentle with our cabinet doors, so it isn't a problem. (We just don't open the door all the way.) You could always put the organizer down a little farther on the fridge if you don't have a microwave in the way like we do!
That looks awesome! Love a tidy kitchen Have a good weekend.
Great idea! I just bought some hanging wall baskets to help with organization. I thought I was following your blog but wasn't … but I am now!
Thanks Jennifer! So glad you're here!
Oh yes that pile of papers on the microwave looks all a bit familiar to me! I love the pocket for the computer too, although my laptop would be way too heavy to hang like that, plus I tend to use it in the living room so not so much an issue for me. But the bills and paper definately need organising at my house!
I had a bit of a kitchen tidy up on the weekend as well getting stuck into my spice rack re-labelling and filling up the containers. Lots of January spring cleaning
Yes, I think January is the perfect month for "spring" cleaning!
you are SO absolutely correct! it's one step to set up the system, but there also needs to be a maintenance plan to go along with it. looks great – so impressed that the mac is light enough to be stowed in the wall pocket!
The organizer is very cute. I would love one like it. Where did you get it? Nice job Allison!
Thanks Kim! I got it at Target.
I love that! I've been plagued by piles of paper in the kitchen and I've been slowly finding what works for us!
I'm your newest follower!
Thanks! So glad to have you here!
Hi! I just nominated you for the Liebster Award. Feel free to pop over to my blog to read about it. http://marthaleonedesign.com/2013/01/24/liebester-award/
Love this idea and the color coordination! Visiting from Liz Marie linky party! Hope you will spare some time to visit my space.
These are great ideas. I love the metal inside the cabinet door. Everything looks awesome.
Thanks Ruth!
Cute ideas! We enter our home through our kitchen, so you can imagine how much clutter accumulates there. Thanks for sharing!
Great organization!!
I have the same problem. Mail covering the counters. This is a great idea, I'm going to look for something similar today. Thanks for the idea!
No problem, Heather! Thanks for stopping by the blog!
What great ideas!! The little metal board with the banners makes those chores and lists look like fun! Thanks for sharing!!
Don't they? They just perk it up a little!
Awesome ideas! I love anything organization. I just pinned it, had to!!! I also am a new follower!
Selene from restorationbeauty.com
Thank you so much, Selene! So glad to have you here!
So smart and so cute! I just have one of the magnetic ones that I bought at the door and this is so much cuter! And I love that you can put a laptop in it. I have a link party going on that I would love for you to link up to! Hope to see you there! http://weliketolearnaswego.blogspot.com/2013/02/what-i-learned-wednesday-43.html
Love this. A lot of people don't realize you can also use Dry-Erase Markers on Mirrors. They work wonderfully.
I love the board you made in your cabinet. That's so smart – and looks so nice! I use an app called AboutOne to organize the papers that would otherwise accumulate (mine always find the kitchen table). With my AboutOne app, I can snap a picture or scan each item, save it to my account, and I know exactly where to find it later. It's really helped me with household bills and statements, kids' papers, photos, car insurance, and that kind of stuff. Like you said, it has to be easy or I won't use it.

What color are your kitchen cabinets? Looks like it is chalk paint?
Yes, it is, Jen! I used Chalk Paint® by Annie Sloan in French Linen.
Just read your update—what a great idea, to snap a photo of your grocery list and head out! You're SO organized and time-efficient!
