Cool ambience
Well maintained and good service ensure you come back to this place. Cool continuous breeze makes your experience even better.The food was truly sensational.
The food specializes in North Indian. The starters right from Nawabi Paneer Tikka to Hara Bhara Kebab were amazing. Brilliant food topped with brilliant desserts like Phirni, Jalebi and Rabaddi.
Freshly prepared, it melts in your mouth quality. In short, a place to visit if you are in SoBo in the evening and cool night.

The whole Arabian feel that they tried to create in their ambience was felt! Their kebabs were amazing and so was their seating as they offered a wide variety of options. The rooftop seating with the breeze coming in from the sea and the view of the Taj all lit up just blew me away! Though I would warn u to make prior reservation! Authentic Chicken Dum Biryani mentioned in the Menu was just awful. .More like pulou with boiled chicken

Not value for money
I have been there just once for my birthday treat. I had read and heard a lot about this place. But when I entered, I was not very impressed. It is a rooftop restaurant. The view from up there is also nice. But when I visited it was covered on the top as it was the monsoon time which really took out the whole point of it being a rooftop restaurant. The ambience is not that great. Its pretty similar to the other restaurants. The food there is a rip off. We were 6-7 people and my bill was about 11k!!!!

for the ambience & for the love of food I would like to rate this place a 4!!
its absolute leisure & when you want to dine in here make sure you have time at hand!!
though I wouldn't mind the as the place is really nice.
the entrance to the bldg. & the old lift perhaps gives a very different impression at the start but the moment you enter the restaurant after a small flight of stairs (post the lift) it all changes!!
food is good, no doubt.
have been here only with friends though!!

Amazing Ambience
The is a roof top restro.
I agree when you will climb up you will just think its the worst place you have been to !
But wait
u get into Koyla u'll see the difference
Amazing !
low seating, Dim lights everything is just too good
late evenings it is just too good !
Practically its not that good
the taste has something missing
And the rates are a bit high
No Alcohol that's bad
They used to serve Hukkah but now its all at halt .
Then to good place to hangout with friends !

Very famous already
I think much has been said about the awesome rooftop location of this restaurant and I'm sure everyone already knows this! This place reminds of innumerable nights spent here enjoying kebabs, sheesha and delicious Mughlai food! Go here if you want a great ambience but be ready to wait for hours to get a good seat!

I've been here thrice... crowd of south mumbai... with a roof top restaurant plus IPL match in large screen.... perfect way to spend time in weekend. Fodd is expensive but u won't regret it after eating.. ROTI basket is best with different kind of rotis in one basket.. i love CHEESE roti, They serve Hookah of different kind of flavours which i think will be interesting though i don't smoke.
perfect place to spend weekend with your friends, family

Ambiance... Ambiance... Ambiance...!!!
I call it my favorite place in Mumbai.
go there with family or friends...
its a huge place on a roof top, with an Arabic theme set up which is breathtaking..
with the plush crowd of south Mumbai being a regular fare at this place u surely feel one of the privileged..
one can feel rejuvenated and royal at the same time just entering there once..

Good place if you love Punjabi Food !!
If you are going to this place I should say this is a Heaven of Punkabi Food !!! We started off with Tandoori Baby Potatoes, then we ordered Paneer Tikka Masala with Cheese Kulcha which is the speciality !! Beware order only 1 cheese kulcha bcoz you will find it difficult to finish !! Overall the service was good and attentive.Food here can cost you around 2500 to 3000 for 4 to 5 people which is pretty decent.

Good north indian food
Koyla is a roof top restaurant, with very comfortable seating on low chairs where the lighting is dim which gives very rustic feeling.
Offerings include a multitude of Mutton and Chicken dishes. The tandoori chicken is one of the best I have had in Mumbai, beautifully marinated and juicy. We also ordered the Mutton do pyaza which is simply gorgeous. The gravy is rich in flavor and the mutton extremely tender melting in your mouth. Also for the Veg their Dal Makhni is extremely authentic, reminding me of having dal makhni at a truck stop near Shimla, fabulous stuff. For desserts try out their kulfi which is also good.

Amazing place!!
I was here last week with my partner and the place was just amazing. Had paneer starter. Cheeze naan and veg kadhai for main course. The cheeze naan is worth trying. Ambiance was just perfect. An ideal place for winter evenings. The presence of sand does make you feel that u' re in Goa. I recommend this place for all couples :)

Amazing Ambience and food
I was searching for a surprise date for our marriage anniversary. I wanted it to be romantic and candle light dinner. I found this place so thought to visit it. I had read the reviews in Burp! It is walking distance from our famous radio club. There are valet parking people from the koyla restaurant standing to guide you to the place. You have get into a crumpled lift to get to roof.
The view of Arabian sea and decor, lighting of this place is amazing. There are shacks created the one like in arabian oasis. There are low seating also avaible which i would recommend for large group. As compared to Sheesha Bandra , i found this place better in - view, decor and .
We are vegetarians so ordered panner tikka and masala papad as starter was amazing, sabzi kadai in main course and naans of course - The quantity, quality and taste is very good. The bill came to 900 only, which is really inexpensive considering the place and food.
The most amazing part of this restaurant is the bay they have to stand there and have scenic view of the Arabian sea, Taj mahal hotel and boats in the sea.
I would rate is must visit places for romantic dinner. My wife thoroughly enjoyed this place.

Nice ambience, ok food!
I had heard a lot Koyla's from friends. My visit here on 30th March for a friend's birthday dinner didn't exactly disappoint me. The ambience is really nice with different kinds of seating arrangement, which I found pretty interesting. Although placed on roof-top, I can imagine Koyla's getting uncomfortably hot during the summers.
In respect of the food...Well, it was just about average. Not bad, at the same nothing about it which can be specially mentioned. No alcohol is the rule. Hukkah was served there previously, no idea if it still is. A bit on the expensive side but its okay if all one wants to do is enjoy the ambience. Definitely enjoyable on a cool and pleasant night!

great ambience..
AMBIENCE:4/5i had gone to this place during kala ghoda art fest, one thing that is most striking is the ambience and the rooftop scenario, its worth be it with ur group or ur gf perfect setting, the hookah section is separate so if u r sllergic to smoke ask for other section .
FOOD:3.5/5 food was good not tht exceptionally delicious,
price: its on expensive side a meal for two can set u back by 1500k if u try 2 starters and main course. overall its a great place to have really good time

Only the Ambience is good
We were a group of 7 and headed to this place called Koyla.
The ONLY good part about this restaurant is its ambience.
Food is BELOW average specially Veg starters.
Non veg starters are just ok nothing great! Main course dishes are waste of money.
A great NO NO..they accept only CASH...so be prepared for a surprise.
Ambience 4/5
Food 2.5/5
Service 2/5
They have stopped with the Hukka which used to be a crowd puller

for Gluttens Only
For a place that does not serve any addictive substances, Kolya does decent business, yet I think their previous USP (Hukkah) is missed sorely by most. Food alone cannot compensate for the loss of Alchohol and Hukkah. Therefore you are pretty much dependent on a sugar high to enjoy yourself.
January 16,2012
1star for the view!
Entrance: Its better if you close your eyes and go inside or you would start judging the place( as I did)
Sitting & ambiance & view : IS all that they have!
Food: We ordered veg snacks and main course.. it was too bad!
Service : was as poor as food! they were not even serving breads quickly!
We went on 25th dec'11 for which they were open till 5 in morning. Assuming that they were prepared and knew people would pour in I dont think they stood up to the mark!
A big NO!

Come here for a date this place is lovly
Good food, ok sheesha place, ambiance mind blowing. One can easily spend grands and feel happy about it. Service is like a typical Indian restaurant, but the food and the place kills your bad thoughts about it. Trust me go there with a good attitude and you will love it. Its one place you have to visit if your visiting Mumbai. Plus they park your car for you, no worries at all the staff on that area are great.
Food 4/5
Ambiance 5/5

Unhappy birthday
Was my birthday so we went to Koyla. We loved the ambience last time we had gone. And food was ok ok. This time also we somewhat liked the starters but not the sabji and roti at all. Sabji was quite tasteless. While ordering the guy said it will be slightly spicy, but it turned out to be totally bland. We asked him to change it. He offered to make the same one spicier. But as expected he made it worse.
They were quite accommodating in giving us seats of our choice.
So go here for the ambience but not specially for the food.

need to complain in a consumer forum
yesterday i.e 16th april 2011 went at 8 pm to koyla, we were 3 friends asked for a seat for three of our choise the whole restaurant was empty at that time, but they refused our choosen seat they said take what they are giving or we can leave........most rustic behavious of all time my previous experiences here was gr8t but yesterday experinece made me see the real KOYLA will never recomed to any one and if any one ask will surely discourage them to go there.....i donot know how burrp can certify such a restaurant such places need a seriou boycott so that they can understand courtsey being in a hospitality industry.........KOYLA HOSPITALITY IS A REAL SHIT
Black & Grey
This Is Sobo's rustic looking roof top restaurant.
Excellent Sheeshas.
Very good north Indian food.
The dal makhni & chicken tikka masala with the cheese kulchas are delicious.
Service has definitely become a lil unfriendly.
Do something about that mr azmi. I suggest get in the basilico staff. Lol!!!!

The waiters take too long to come over and take orders, mix up the hookah orders - get hookahs after 30-35 minutes and that too the wrong ones. Food is not so great. Don't have good mock-tails. Staff is too rude.
Cut a long story short - avoid being there except for the ambiance.

Pathetic Rip Off Place, Zero Customer Loyalty,Crap
So we all decide to spend New Years at Koyla's Colaba. Cause Koyla Oshiwara was very nice and decent.
They tell us for Rs. 1200 per head, you get a cover for food, hookah and drinks (They only serve non alcoholic drinks- How lame )
Alright so we say yes, knowing half the people in the group dont drink. And that if its 1200 per head as COVER, it would be more than enough to fit a bill.
We paid in advance to book a seating for 19 of us as they said all other seats will get booked fast.
So when we started ordering, they had a DIFFERENT menu for new years !
Hookahs priced at 700 bucks approx ( all were crap )
Red Bulls around 500-600 I guess.
Starters at a bomb rate
Our Billing, instead of 22800/- went to 39,000/- for just food hookah and red bull. They initially made a bill of 41000/- to loot 2k extra as if we are goofballs who wouldnt check our orders. We got it corrected. NO DISCOUNT AT ALL EITHER.
Place shut at 3 am. Our car keys were taken by the cops from the vallet parking. Now its sure that the cops wanted some settlement with the Koyla guys. But why should WE customers come to such problems?
Worst Place ever, RIP OFF, Pathetic Food, Pathetic Hookah.
All the waiters and serving guys were nice and kind.
The Manager and the place was utter bad
Guys, please think twice. This place was the worst pathetic place ever and priced like a classy 5 star, whereas I wouldnt even rate it 1 star

Rude Manager....
I visited this place on Sat eve ard 8pm.The place was almost empty,the manager was continuously arguing to sit near the Entrance table (dnt knw reason) even when other tables were empty. He was showing his attitude that he has tables booked from 8.30 pm to 11 pm so better finish ur order fast....He infact gav us 45 mins to finish our meal...
Overall ambience & service was gud. But the Manager should learn manners that how to talk to customers............
Horrible Service
Went to Koyla's on a saturday with some friends.
These guys have the worst service I've ever seen in any restaurant.
To start off, we asked the waiter for water 5 times before they finally got it, and that was after 45 minutes. WTF!!! I had to yell at the waiter before he finally got us some water.
Our main course took over 1 1/2 hours to arrive, and even that was after we complained to the waiter numerous times.
A Fresh lime soda I ordered never even came.
They offered no apology for their horrible service, only excuses like its a Saturday night, big crowd etc.
The ambience is nice, but the food is nothing special, and definitely not good enough to justify the ridiculous prices.
Overall one of the worst experience I've had in any restaurant, ever. Would NEVER go back again.
Also the first time we left a restaurant without leaving any tip, they really didn't deserve it.
The Best place in Mumbai!!!!
This is one my favourite restaurant, it has gr8 roof top ambeince, gr8 food, the only part is that they have to improve their service..the waiters take a long time to come to your table and take the order.Its a gr8 place for both veg as well as non-veg lovers..The cheese kulcha and dal makhni is the best part of their menu.Price is on a higher side but justified

gr8 place
The place and hookah and food all is good even the couches or chairs all are gr8 the service is okie-dokie but the worst part is that it has only one washroom that to for both so many times on weekends there is a queue over there as if someone waiting for queue in a public toilet
Good Ambience & Food But Worst Service
Yesterday I went there in a group of 6. We reached there at around 8:00. We had to wait for around 45 minutes but being friendship days it's fine. Ambience was great, In starters we ordered Paneer tikka n hara bhara kabab with tomato soup n Koyla thunder in mocktails. These were really good. We also ordered hookah that was also good, up to now things were good.
Now we went to main course we ordered Dal Makhani, Paneer bhurji, Paneer makhani n some other items, waitor took more than 1 hour for this, n when he brought he forgot 1/2 order when we asked he took another 1/2 an hour of for this. Then after some time we said them to repeat Nans, again we kept waiting and after another 1/2 hour, a person come to us n say "Any thing else Sir" means they forgot to repeat order, Actually no fixed waitor was there for our table. we talked to manger he got blank.
We reached the place at 8:45 PM and left aroud 12: 20 AM, One more thing koyla has got large area n lots of tables to dine but there was single washroom common for boys n girls.
Very Bad Experience.
I and couple of my friends went to Koylas in Colaba. When we entered the place the ambience was good we wanted to sit on a particular table but the attendant told us that the table was booked so we settled for a different table. It was 8:00 pm so we decided to go to Colaba market and come back at 9 pm. Then attendant told us that they do not do reservations (what the hell few minutes back he told us that the table was booked) any ways we decided to sit and ordered for hookah and few starters. The hookah was nice and so where the starters I liked the way they decorated the plate. We also ordered for fresh juices and I liked that also.
One of our friends was to join us at 10:00 pm and then we where to order food and another hookah. Now the waiter comes to us and asks us to order for dinner I told him that someone is going to join us in 10 mins and then we will order for food. 10 minutes later we call for the waiter ask him to get us another hookah and the menu card for dinner to our surprise he tells us that we will have to leave the place as there is a booking for this table. I told him you have to be kidding me as it is a Wednesday evening and only half of your tables are occupied and it is our friends birthday. He told me that it is a restaurant rule that one cannot sit for more than 2 hrs. I called the manager and explained to him that what kind of a rule is this, I could understand this if all your tables are occupied. Then there was an argument between the waiter and the manager in front of everyone it was very embarrassing for us.
The manager told us that now we can sit and order for food but by that time we had lost our cool and requested to get the bill. Waiter went and got it in a flash. I thought Koylas was all about relaxing and enjoying hookah and great food but the management has lost it. Olympia on Colaba causeway has mush better waiters and management. I guess Koylas has lost it and for sure I will never go there again

Wins out on Ambiance!!
Though the entry to this place is quite aptly put "Shady!" this roof top restaurant has a great ambiance. Everything else is pretty much the routine : Hookahs and Muglai/ Punjabi. Though the food tastes great the menu pricing is not justified. As for the service, it's as shoddy as it gets in a place like this.

Good ambience, dropping in standards
The place is set with a beautiful ambience. Koyla started off as one of Mumbai's first Sheesha parlours and made an excellent name for itself. Slowly, the standard has started dropping due to their slow service, especially on weekend nights. Also, their staff (MANAGERS) are NOT COURTEOUS. Apart from this, they have a Sheesha specialist (Mangesh) who is an ace at his job and is a backbone of the Sheesha business at Koyla.
Beautiful Ambiance!
Koylas, well to locate this place maybe difficult,and it's located through the lanes between causeway, you have to take the lane opposite to Mad Over Doughnuts(MOD) to reach this place, the entrance to this place is through Gulf Hotel,which is cramped up and especially when you take the lift and through the lift which the lift man takes you makes you a little suffocated,and once you exit the elevator you feel good,and just then you have to take another set of stairs which is difficult especially if you're wearing stiletto's. And as soon as you enter Koylas, you feel really ecstatic since the area is so well lit and with the breeze that runs through your hair,quite chilled on winter night.
The setup is quite similar to the desert safari is dubai! The same atrificial trees,fountains,sand!
In the beginning the service was quite good,since we were the early ones but as soon as the there were more people pouring in.. the service kept deteriorating.One thing really surprising was to see the number of tables being reserved or occupied on a weekday and towards the end there were people waiting! It's quite popular,which is surely because of the ambiance,located behind the gateway of India!
The food is slightly pricy though but equally good,especially the non-veg dishes.It has to be good to give competition to the restaurants below koylas,because they serve equally good food as well:)
We ordered quite a bit including veg platter(300)
non veg platter (350)
butter chicken(285)
chicken biriyani(295)
The food was really excellent! I'd probably visit this place again for the food,but they have to work a little more on their service!
The sheesha wasn't as expected,it was quite dry and kept hitting the throat and despite several reminders,there wasn't any marked improvement..But we all go there for the food and the beautiful ambiance, which i don 't think any other restaurant (maybe quite a few) offer!
I'd just miss giving this place 5 stars because of their service,if they improve on that then it's surely a 5!
We had visited this place for a close friend's birthday,they surely din't let us down and when we had to cut the cake,we were led to this place where we had to take the stairs and from there we could see the entire of south mumbai, it was beautiful!
Would like to visit this place again!

Nice Experience
This rooftop restaurant in Colaba is one unique place. The seating here is the most comfortable you can ever get. Eating and chatting under the stars can also be an unique experience in Mumbai. The food here (Punjabi) is pretty good, a bit pricey though, but guys this is Colaba. But the best part is the relaxed atmosphere and the excellent service. Perfect place to hang out with friends as you can sit here for hours without the waiters breathing down your neck. They also have the hookah here. Food here can cost you around 2000-3000 for 4 to 5 people which is pretty decent. Recommended!

Bad Service 'over the weekends'
The ambience at Koyla is good... The food is Ok-ok.. The service is pathetic...
Just to give you some of the details:
1. Took 25-30 minutes to serve coke and that too after reminding twice
2. Starters served at room temperature
3. Starters served without green chutney
4. Main course served without onion & pickles
5. Nobody present around to serve water or take order for any dish
6. It took 15 minutes each for the bill & change
When I told all these points to the Captain, he said 'Sir, weekend pe aisa hota hai.'

This is one of best place SoBo , with a view to die for.Frankly for me the view it self makes it worth the money.
Surprisingly hookah here is more compares to any other place serving hookah,in mumbai.
This is kind of place where you can spend some quality time with your date or with group of friends.
August 18,2009
Not the same anymore!!
Koyla was very impressive on my first visit there with a huge roof top ambience, good crowd, nice sea breeze.. However, all this is enjoyable only if u dont have to wait all the time for a table (with the snobbish waiters stating that they are "reserved" all the time).. What is the point of having a restaurant if everyone cannot enjoy it??? Worth going once but make sure you RESERVE that table...

Going down the drain...
I used to be a frequent visitor earlier where Koyla's black dal and roomali roti would be the craving factor. However now with my latest visit (my last one here), i differ from my previous opinions about this place.
Ambiance used to be great here, even during the summers the ample number of fans used to make it a pleasant roof top seating. Now its an effort to request the waiters to turn the fans on. Along the same lines, service was never the +ve point about this place but now its going deep down. As i said, to get the waiters attention was a project. ICed tea served was warm so when we raised this point to our server, he amusing answered that there is enough ice in there so it will become cold in sometime! Now one would think that atleast the food would be a saving grace, but so not! The paneer tikka was pathetic, paneer was chewy. The hara bhara kabab if thrown at you would leave a scar (a little exaggerated but the kabab was really hard). Our main course order was paneer makhani and black dal. while the former was overly sweet, the latter was decent but def not upto the mark. Roomali roti was cold and disappointing. 1600 for 5 - Damage.
It was a saturday night and the place was quite empty (very unlike the previous times). I think this restaurant is no more the star it used to be...I am glad i can scratch this off my fav restaurant lists with ease.

Love the ambience
Entering the Gulf Hotel you'd think the place would be really shady but surprisingly isn't. We went on a tuesday evening at 10 pm and they were full but luckily there was no waiting so we got a table soon enough.
Ambience & Decor: It is a great place to chill out at. There was good music playing. I like the way the place is done up with various seatings. Even the loo has a very rustic feel. Since it is winter the weather made the experience even better.
Food: Ordered Paneer tikka, Paneer do pyazza and dal makhani. Paneer tikka and dal was good but the dish of the day was the paneer do pyaza. Ordered a hooka also which was ok. Couldn't really taste the flavour well.
Service: The service was extremely good. The waiters were helpful and courteous especially since we were celebrating someones birthday. The best thing is even if you are having only hooka they let you sit in peace and not rush you.
Peeves: Unfortunately they now shut by 1 1:30 unlike earlier when they would remain open till three. They don't serve any alcohol.
Great place to hang out at especially since we have very few rooftop restaurants.
January 19,2009
I have just returned from India and had gone back to Koyla to have a shisha. It is so shit, its not even worth calling it a shisha place. The shisha's all tasted like paan, no matter what flavour you had. The manager just stood there like a cock, thinking he is all that and the staff dont understand a word of fuckin enlish. Asked for a strawberry milkshake and was brought a strawberry ice cream and that was an hour after i had ordered it. For the common Indian person, the prices are over charged for what the service is, for us tourists it is quite cheap but I would never go again.
I had gone to another shisha place on a rooftop in Bhandra and that was quite nice. The service was ok but the shisha was nice. We didnt have to wait an hour for our order and the staff were very friendly and understood English exceptionally well. As for Koyla, Colaba fucking waste of time. People only go there cause Aisha Takia goes there, but she only goes there cus she is shagging the owners son.

It Sucks!!Don't Go!!To Be Very Frank!!
I went to koyla's the last time when it was my friend's farewell.And to be very frank for 1st time i realised what actually koyla deals with.We were 6 people and waiting for more than one and half hour.Still. we didn't get the table.And over all this when we order sheesha the waiter forgot the order so it adds 45 minutes extra to our time.That day we got out of the restaurant at 12:15 am.And really it kept us in disappointment.And the we took the oath that we won't go again to this cheap place where the staff thinks that they are favoring customers.They should learn first thing that customer is king.And to be frank i'm not talking about ambience and food.I'm talking about everything.The manager is standing in white shirt and tie and thinks that he is the owner.There's no thing as hospitality.No smile on anyone's face.It sucks and really not worth spending your hard earned money.But still if you want to try you can and have a experience of bad taste.Good luck

Lets burn the Koyla!
Wow.... this place sucked big time when i went here like a year back....!!!
There were innumerable number of inscets on our table...
Food id not even give it one star...
i don't know about the non-veg my friends were eating but the veg...from the starters to the vegetable sucked...each of it...was worse than the other....!!!!
I had heard alot about this place.... but i think its just too over rated.... i dont think it even deserves a star...
but i think ill still give it a star for its roof-top location...which i like....

I am from the UK and have been to India 4 times in the past 8 months. I have always been to Koyla every night I was in Mumbai.
I love shisha and the service and the quality of the shisha at Koyla is out of this world. Their setting is amazing. The service I recieved here was absolutely 5 star.
On returning to the UK, I have opened up my own shisha cafe, named Koyla, but nowhere as nice as this one.
If you come to Mumbai, you definitely need to come to Koyla and experience their shisha and food. Their chicken tikka was absolutely gorgeous!!

above average food set in a cool ambiance
The food here is just above average and the service is a bit amateurish. Waiters are kind, but probably not experienced like you might expect a wait staff to be. The food is your traditional mughlai/north-western frontier fare, meaning very rich and heavy! The mushroom tikka was a great starter I must say - the dal makhani was as expected and the dum aaloo was just way too oily/rich/heavy for my taste.
The ambiance is what is special here - on the rooftop of the seedy Gulf Hotel, tables are set under canopies of clay - some of the larger tables have entire benches made out of the white mediterranean clay, which gives it more of a tropical look. I WISH this place served drinks, but unfortunately, all they have to offer are hookahs. Yech!

Every day, before leaving to catch the number 25, I look in the hall mirror (which was a wedding present to Jim and I, 1975, teak, oval, the style has recently enjoyed a revival in Ikea, Jim has since told me) and I tell myself, out loud, that "it will be okay". Sometimes, if I haven't slept too well or if my head hurts from all the questions I ask myself, I emphasise the "will be" and raise my voice.
Paul McKenna has told me (although I must add, not personally, in his book, "You Can Get The Life You Deserve", courtesy of the Salvation Army shop, 99p) that if I repeat certain statements enough times my mind will start to believe and accept that they are true. So, for the past 162 days 8 hours and, let me see, 23, ah 24 minutes, I have been telling myself that I will be okay. I tell myself this because there is no one else to.
At the bus stop I tell Ethel, a fellow bus goer and the lady I have become acquainted with over the last 162 days 8 hours and 34 minutes that "yes" the weather is very warm for the time of year, April (the month Jim and I married), and "yes", I did watch the Royal Wedding (and cry for England and myself), and "yes", the bride did look amazing (Jim said I looked "divine" the day we got married). Don't let this banal talk mislead you into thinking Ethel is drab and dull or that she bores me silly each morning on my 15-minute journey to the office. Not at all! Ethel is a potential friend. She is part of my healing process.
Ethel has a lovely silver swinging bob and even though she's called Ethel (well come on, there is a certain image that an "Ethel" conjures up), she is a pretty sharp dresser if I do say so myself. Her nails are always buffed and polished, nifty shoes or boots on a dainty little foot, and some of the scarves she wears on an oh-so jaunty angle, are stunning. Over the winter months, she'd often be wearing a bright red pashmina draped over her camel coat for extra warmth. The scarlet against her sleek bob was very dramatic. I told her so and she seemed pleased.
In her book "How To Get The Most From Friendships And Relationships" by Martha C Perkins (British Heart Foundation, £1.99), she suggests that by complimenting others, "we get feelings of warmth and fulfilment by making others feels special". And I must say I felt good when I saw the faint traces of a blush in Ethel's smiling face. However, did I feel fulfilled? Hardly. That feeling left me approximately 162 days, 8 hours and, ah, you know the rest.
I think of what Ethel sees in me. What she has gleaned from me this past few months. I am 50 something (I still never tell, and even Jim was never too sure over the years). I like reading. I always have the latest rom-com poking out of my bag for all to see (never the self-help books). I aim to portray relaxed, easygoing, fun lady (and not, crazy, uptight, lonely lady).
She probably thinks that my hair is well cut and expensively coloured. It is. Being a lover of clothes herself, she may think that I have expensive clothes that are cut just right for my rounding figure. Obviously she's noticed my large feet, cramped into too-small shoes. Doesn't everyone? A habit from my youth. It drives… drove Jim mad to think of all the pain I inflicted on myself. Well come on, size eight and a half is not exactly dainty, is it! Ethel knows that I am happily, ecstatically, joyously married to Jim, of course, and we exchange sweet little anecdotes about our men most mornings.
"Morning Robbie."
Since getting the bus to work every morning I have met some lovely bus drivers. Robbie isn't one of them. He reminds me of someone on the verge of something. Not like a heart attack or anything like that, literally, like he's sitting on a verge. Perched on the edge of his seat, it doesn't look safe to me. How does he control the pedals? He is rather large and I do worry that maybe the momentum of his weight will drag him forward from his perch and he will bash his head off the steering wheel and we will all die, us passengers of faith, our lives in his hands. A little extreme, but a lady's got to distract her thoughts somehow.
I often plan these silly scenarios just to pass the time between getting into bed and falling asleep. I have always been credited with having a good imagination. It's not a credit at times like these. I imagine, mostly at night when I'm alone, what Jim might be doing now and then I stop myself, and pick up my Paul McKenna book.
Robbie asks questions. Lots. Sometimes when I'm up from my seat and I've said goodbye to Ethel and I'm waiting those few moments after getting up to arriving at the stop, he speaks. I have tried to time it so I literally jump out of my seat and then jump out of the door in a matter of seconds. The last time I did this, in my momentous effort to exit the bus, my size eight and a half's got stuck in an old lady's shopping trolley and the result wasn't pretty.
"What a good laugh you are," Jim used to say.
I'm not laughing now.
And I wasn't laughing then. Is there a shade on the Dulux colour wheel darker shade of puce?
Robbie knows I'm married to Jim. He knows I live in a street near to where I get picked up and he knows that every evening I go home to Jim. I think he thought he had a chance despite the gold band on my left hand. I made the mistake of smiling the first day I saw him. Obviously a big come on in his eyes. He asks about my weekends and I invent fantastic days in the Cotswolds, long walks across the hills, dinner in a lovely little restaurant in Chipping Camden, great value for money. The lies just drip off my tongue.
With my great imagination and ever-developing lying technique, I think the stage is calling. Maybe I've missed my vocation? Maybe I should be treading the boards rather than number crunching in a pokey little office on the High Street. However, said pokey little office is where I talk the talk and carry on as normal. I do it well. I'm good at it. Keeping it all in. Well, that is if you don't count the headaches and the constant knots in my stomach. The anticipation of getting found out.
Jim was always great with his emotions, happy to let it all go, a good weep at a soppy film, a hearty laugh when I made a joke, he read The Road Less Travelled. I mocked him! We laughed. We had fun. We still had sex?!
"Morning," I say, smiling as I begin to regale the girls in the office with my tales of Robbie.
"Since Jim's car packed up you've had a right old time on those buses haven't you," one of the girl's giggles.
"It's been a laugh a minute," I answer, deadpan.
I'm a laugh. Let the show go on. After all I have standards to maintain. I can't let them slip. I'm strong. That's what Jim reckoned.
The girls know about my burgeoning friendship with Ethel and how she's a natty little dresser. They wonder how Jim feels about me getting public transport for the past few months. They ask after him all the time and tell me we should all get together again soon, us girls and our other halves. I oblige, organise a meal for the eight of us in a couple of weeks time. I'm good.
The journey home is when it starts. The trembling and twitching. It's like my body is reacting to the day. Like something inside is bursting to get out. I can feel the tension pushing on my temples, throbbing in my neck. I am the Hulk-ess.
Pulsing lady with trembling limbs has not (yet) made any acquaintances on return journey home. I think the reason is obvious. I think the veneer starts to slip by the time the bus is outside the chip shop on Market Street. I think I look deranged. I think it could possibly be the happy couples queuing for their chippy tea, hand in hand, the whiff of the chips, the vinegar soaking through the paper, the expectation of the evening ahead, the bread, the butter.
Or, it could be the big advertising hoardings opposite that make me nauseous. Large headed, large teeth (are they sneering at my singleness?), happy, beautiful couples, advertising sofas, lithe limbs draped casually over each other, happy couples, happy couples, happy coup... oh, there's my stop.
Back home the oval, teak mirror shows a different me from this morning. I am flushed and slightly dishevelled. The walk from the bus stop has bedraggled me. I am cold inside. It's wet and windy outside and all I want to do is flop into Jim's arms and be warm again. But he's gone. I can admit it to myself, if to no one else. Where is Paul McKenna when you need him. His mantra has deserted me. I am a pathetic sight.
However, Jane S Morgan PHD, "Love After Losing" (Oxfam, £1.50), says "we must accept the truth in our hearts before we can learn to love again."
Coat off, work clothes in washing basket, PJs on. Red wine, out of a box with a neat little tap attached, in a tumbler! It would never have happened when Jim was here. I don't have to have standards when I'm alone.
"I am single". Gulp. Said it. Doesn't feel too bad.
"Single", a bit louder.
"Abaaaaandoned!" Too loud.
I am a good laugh, I have nice hair, large feet, I'm happy go lucky. Robbie fancies me. I have made a new friend. I can tell the truth. I will reveal all tomorrow. Well… one step at a time… now, where's that book, Alan Porter, "The world need not know your secrets" (PDSA, £3.50).

I learnt this move back in my krotty days, we were told it was for if your hand was injured somehow. I think it could be viable but it's low percentage, unless you have a real need for it i dont see much point to it.
It's a bony tough area so I reckon one could do some serious damage with it if one were to connect with it, which I think is unlikely when facing a skilled opponent.

As I see it you are only limiting your reach for no benefit beyond mild deception.

The only case where I can see it being worth even considering using the back of the wrist is when you're going to throw a backfist and just don't have enough distance. But you're taking an already low percentage move, and further lowering the percentage of success.
Flashy, low percentage moves only work if you're a phenomenal athlete and already have a solid mastery of the basics.

Hey, sweetpea!
Here are some of my usual HIIT workouts:
1. Track sprints - I know you said you can't do this, but just listing it. I do this very sparingly. It causes a lot of muscle damage and seems to interfere with my leg workouts. I have also gotten injuried on these several times.
2. Bike and elliptical sprints - I do these most often
3. HIIT variable cardio - I will go to the gym and do 5-10 minutes worth of sprints on a variety of machines, and intersperse sprints with 10-15 minutes low II cardio. I.E. 5 mins sprints stair master, 10 minutes walking, 10 mins sprints elliptical, 10 mins low intensity rowing.
Thanks a lot!! I did some sprints a few weeks back and they really fried my legs, but were great b/c I was short on time. I might try them again today and just see how I feel.
Tomorrow I'll aim for 5-10 minutes of sprinting on the elliptical and then do the rest slow and steady.
As always, I really appreciate the feedback!
"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is givnig up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." ~ Anna Quindlen

Hollywood Strip
by Shamron Moore
reviewed by Rian M.
Callie Lambert has just moved to Hollywood a few months ago and has been trying to land a job as an actress. In the meantime, she works as a waitress, goes on auditions and poses nude for sexy magazine spreads. She has two good friends to commiserate with – a gay stylist and another aspiring actress who appears to have a substance abuse problem. Callie just wants to be discovered, but she seems to be at a dead end, despite her gorgeous brunette good looks and talent… until she finally, through a combination of meeting the right people and performing a fantastic audition, lands a part on a risque horror movie.
Things slowly begin looking up. She befriends her insanely beautiful female costar and begins dating a famous and absolutely gorgeous British singer/performer. But things are far from perfect. New acting offers aren't exactly pouring in; her new man may be cheating on her and her friend with the substance abuse problem is becoming more than she can handle. After a devastating event happens to her new costar and good friend, Callie is suddenly thrown into the limelight in a much bigger way than she was prepared for. But after all, fame was what she wanted, right…?
I don't want to reveal too much of the plot, so I'll stop here, but this is one of those "Girl goes to Hollywood to become a star, becomes one, then realizes it isn't all it's cracked up to be" kind of story lines, but with a different twist than most. It was a good read until about halfway through. For some reason, after that the story line sped up to warped speeds (one example is where an entire year passed from one chapter to the next) and I kind of lost the feel for the characters.
However, it is worth mentioning that the main character Callie was a strong female type that didn't allow herself to be pushed around, and I really enjoyed that. (There are too many chick lit novels where the main characters spend about 90% of the book being treated like a doormat and enduring it). Callie was thankfully nothing like that. She seemed to learn from her mistakes and continued to move forward with her life.
One thing I found odd but amusing was how many times throughout the book that the reader is reminded of how gorgeous and thin the main character is.
Overall Hollywood Strip is a good read and has some surprising plot twists and turns to keep you turning pages. There is enough fun, bad behavior, glam and romance (with some steamy romantic descriptions thrown in for good measure) to please anyone who enjoys a good Hollywood and fame-inspired chick lit novel. Recommended for a fun summer read!

DWARF – Emergency personnel are on the scene of a head-on collision involving a Perry County school bus.
The collision happened at approximately 4 p.m. Monday at Pine Valley Road just off of Highway 80, about a mile from the Knott County Line, and involved the bus and a passenger car. The driver of the car was transported to the hospital with undisclosed injuries.
According to police at the scene, the bus driver was also transported, while the parents of one of the three children were also expected to transport their child for examination. Their conditions are not known at this time, though officials say none of the injuries are life threatening.
None of the other children on the bus at the time of the accident were reported to have been injured.

So apparently I also have the dreaded new chip set for my ROM.
So I fully understand:
Format external HD with USBLoader
Drop .iso in root of external HD
connect external HD to Wii
Open WAD Installer (via SD card)
Select 2.1 or 1.1 USB
And it should work?
Anyone happen to have a 64-bit GX USBLoader? Have to transfer .iso over LAN from my machine to 32-bit and then paste into GX....takes too long.
what kind of FAIL perception of usb laoder is this? this is completely surreal. Please read a guide on how to use usb loaders
Found: IOS38-64-v3610.wad
Ran the R14 installer and got an error. Opened USBLoader and it "saw" my external HD...nothing on it presently.
So "maybe" I already have IOS38-64-v3610.wad? How can I confirm this?

I hate to bug everyone again, maybe I over looked it, I am just going to get an external HHD dedicated for Wii games, anyone know if the Wii will work with my SATA Docking Station & what brands of Hard Drives are best for compatibilty?
IOS38-64-v3610 should have been one of the wads you installed to begin with when you softmodded. I'm wondering why you mention it. Interested noob here.
Use the search function and type "compatability list hdd". Sorry, I would simply post a link to another site but I don't wanna get in trouble.
Tried to load via ROM directly, but apparently I have the new chipsets...I get the 1023 error (if memory serves me correctly) so I figured USB external HD would actually be better for my purposes, but noob is getting owned so far.
I found an old maxtor & it is working, the thing is now, the game I have is PAL, is there anyway to make this compatible on NTSC & I noticed that the usb loader has a place for game image, how do I add this or point me in the right direction & I will read. Thanks again all
Just force video mode to your region or console in the Game Load settings. For more on everything usb loader read here: http://www.wiihacks.com/software-bac...-settings.html
The usb loading guide in my sig below is also a good read if you haven't gone through it yet.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6, 2003 While the number of U.S. forces in Iraq will drop by May 2004, the security capability in the country will increase, DoD officials said today.
Part of this is because the United States is placing different capabilities in the country, but the main reason is because the Iraqis are shouldering an increasing portion of the security burden.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Joint Chiefs Chairman Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers have always said it's important for Iraqis to pick up their country's security mission. And now that push is starting to pay off.
Each day, the number of Iraqis involved in security matters is increasing. Last week, DoD officials said there were around 80,000 Iraqis involved in the five security forces. Today, that number is 118,000.
The Iraqi security force will continue to grow. By the end of 2004, coalition officials hope the Iraqis will have around 200,000 members and be able to take over a large segment of the security mission.
The Iraqi police force is the largest security group with around 60,000 members. Iraqi police require at least eight weeks of training, and there are a number of training areas around the country. The ultimate goal is around 70,000 police.
The next largest security force is the Facilities Protection Service with around 35,000 members. The group maintains watch on fixed facilities such as oil lines, electrical pylons, powerhouses, hospitals and the like. The training for these forces is minimal. The Iraqi Governing Council estimates the country will need about 50,000 members in this force.
The Border Patrol has about 12,000 members. The group is working to shut off smuggling from neighboring countries, foreign terrorists from coming into Iraq and former regime leaders from escaping the country.
The Civil Defense Force is a militia-like organization that is aiding coalition units. It numbers about 7,000 now, but officials would like to see it grow to 40,000. The force has proven its worth in a number of operations, most notably during a recent operation in Karbala, officials said.
The final piece to the security puzzle is the new Iraqi army. Currently with 700 men, the force will grow to 35,000. This is the most expensive security force. It requires new equipment and extensive training.
But the coalition is adding to the security forces quickly. The reasons are many: First, the programs are all now operating in various portions of the country. Second, the recruiting infrastructure is in place and many of those now in the security forces are urging friends to join. Third, the coalition pays decent wages.
The Iraqi security forces don't have the training or equipment that coalition forces do, but they speak the language and "they do live in the neighborhood," said Rumsfeld during a press briefing.
Myers said the now-signed supplemental request has money earmarked for training and equipping the forces. "It's certainly our obligation, and the obligation of the Governing Council and the ministries that are stood up, not to send Iraqis out to do tasks for which they're not properly organized, trained and equipped," he said.

ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI) – "There have been real wrongs of clergy at the highest levels." Those words today from St. Louis Circuit Judge Robert Dierker as he upheld his own order in a sex abuse suit involving a now defrocked Archdiocese of St. Louis priest.
The civil suit surrounds allegations that Father Joseph Ross abused a then five year old girl from 1997 to 2001 at a south city parish.
SNAP, or the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, demonstrated outside the Carnahan Courthouse before the hearing. They held pictures of members who say they were abused in other cases.
Judge Dierker ruled in May that the Archdiocese must produce 20 years worth of records for any of its employees who had complaints of sexual abuse against them.
Attorneys for the Archdiocese argued that was too long. On Friday, Dierker stood by 20 years for clergy but reduced the timeframe for non-clergy employees to five years.
SNAP members spoke out against the archdiocese.
"I think what it shows is church officials are still very committed to secrecy in these cases and to disclosing virtually nothing unless they`re ordered to," said 'SNAP' director David Clohessy.
The Archdiocese released a statement reading in part, "The breadth of this order appears to include allegations against lay employees and clergy that were not found to be credible. The archdiocese will consult with its attorneys in this lawsuit regarding next steps based on the court`s ruling."
For 'SNAP,' the Archdiocese`s efforts in this case point tolarger problem of how the church treats victims.
"Church officials are willing to try almost any legal tactic they can dream up to intimidate victims and witnesses and whistle blowers into staying silent," said Clohessy.
Archdiocese attorneys are also trying to get emails that the victim sent to both SNAP and a rape crisis center.
The victim is now in her early 20's.
Judge Dierker has not ruled on that yet.
The archdiocese has 30 days to produce the other records. This would be the first time ever that records like these would ever be produced. They would be given to the victim's attorneys.
The trial is set for February.
In a separate case, Ross was convicted of sexually assaulting an 11 year old boy at a St. Louis church during confession back in 1988.

Obamacare's rules are subject to interpretation
By Rich Lowry : April 1, 2014 : Updated: April 1, 2014 5:19pm
Photo By Getty ImagesU.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius watches as people sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act at an event held Saturday at a church in Miami, ahead of Monday's deadline.
A core competency of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is issuing false assurances.
An administration about-face has left the Cabinet official looking like the Baghdad Bob of American health insurance. When Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, asked her at a hearing two weeks ago whether the administration would extend the Obamacare enrollment period beyond March 31, she responded with a crisp and direct: "No, sir."
To the uninitiated, that sounded like an unmistakable denial of any intention to delay the enrollment period. The uninitiated were sadly misled.
The secretary subsequently referred in her testimony to a delayed enrollment period for people who were unable to enroll "through no fault of their own." It turns out that the administration's definition of these frustrated would-be enrollees includes... well, everyone.
The Washington Post reports that the administration will rely on the "honor system" to determine if people enrolling past the deadline are hardship cases, with no attempt to check if they started the enrollment process before the deadline or if they are telling the truth.
My alma mater, the University of Virginia, relies on the honor system. The penalty for a violation is expulsion. The penalty for violating the Obamacare honor system is nonexistent.
A few weeks ago, a spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which runs HealthCare.gov, told reporters "we don't actually have the statutory authority to extend the open enrollment period in 2014."
As if that would be an obstacle. The enrollment extension is in the same spirit as the administration's partial enactment in 2012 of the DREAM Act through executive fiat — after President Barack Obama said in 2011 that he didn't have the authority for such a change.
It is a testament to the Obama administration's audacity that it doesn't just defy the critics' view of its lawful authority, it defies its own view of its lawful authority.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform captured the administration's high regard for legal niceties in an interview with Mark Mazur, the Treasury official whose blog post announced the first delay in the employer mandate:
Q: Did anyone in the Executive Office of the President inquire into the legal authority for the delay?
A: I don't have any recollection of that.
News of the extension of the enrollment period came on the same day that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia heard arguments in Halbig v. Sebelius, a case involving arguably the most sweeping act of lawlessness in Obamacare's implementation.
The text of the Affordable Care Act says that only exchanges set up by the states are eligible for subsidies. Since so many states didn't set up exchanges, the Obama administration decided through an Internal Revenue Service ruling that enrollees on the federal exchanges can also get the subsidies. Its defense in Halbig vs. Sebelius is, true to form, that the law doesn't mean what it says.
Obamacare has been a long workshop in improv tragicomedy. The delays, regulatory rewritings and extensions are always an attempt simply to live for another day, to put off the political pain of cancellations, or rate hikes, or layoffs, and to get just enough traction to make the law viable.
Millions have signed up for the exchanges, but it's not clear that the demographic mix is right to avoid steep premium increases by insurers in 2015. So far, it looks like young people — essential to making the economics of the exchanges work — aren't signing up in the necessary numbers. The extension is surely a ploy to squeeze every last "young invincible" out of the current enrollment period, and hope the news for the rates in 2015 isn't so bad.
And after that? It's anybody's guess. All we know for sure is that whatever Kathleen Sebelius says today may not be operative tomorrow.

California Study Examines Titanic Shift In Criminal Justice
Professor Joan Petersilia spoke with Tracey Kaplan from the San Jose Mercury News regarding a new study from the Stanford Criminal Justice Center which found that the majority of people are "on board" with California's public safety realignment.
Two years after California loaded responsibility for most low-level criminal offenders onto counties, the titanic policy shift, according to a new study, is getting mixed reviews from law enforcement and justice officials, many of whom continue to fret about a possible rise in crime and decline in public safety.
The Stanford Criminal Justice Center's eye-opening report is the first comprehensive look at how those involved in one of the most sweeping correctional experiments in recent history really feel about it.
"What was most surprising was nobody said it should be repealed,'' said Stanford law professor Joan Petersilia, the study's author and an advocate of the change. "They are on board seriously; it's not just mouthing it, because they know the previous system was failing on almost every dimension,'' including the highest recidivism rate in the nation.

Read Poems by
Jeffrey Lee
A hero defeats the villain who is evil and wrong
They are never weak but always strong
I don't have superpowers
Oh ok so I can't jump over buildings and towers
I have no wings to fly
Sorry I don't even have x-ray vision eyes
You know what I can't even blow trees down
I can't hear pin dropping sounds
I don't even own a mask or cape
No utility belts with gadgets
Not even tricks or magic
There is no secret identity
I have no weapons to defend me
But there is one man that can save us
My only hero is Jesus

Italian carrier Blue Panorama insists it will hold on to its order for Sukhoi Superjet 100s, having cooled on a proposed merger with Alitalia.
Blue Panorama agreed to take 12 of the Russian-built twinjet last year, with deliveries scheduled by the end of 2012.
Chairman Franco Pecci stresses that the carrier is still planning to take the aircraft, although the delivery date has slipped to around the second quarter of 2013.
The airline had been discussing integration with Alitalia, part of a three-way tie-up which also included budget operator Wind Jet.
Pecci says, however, that Blue Panorama has been unable to reach a common position with Alitalia and prospects for a merger have receded.
Blue Panorama would be one of the first customers outside of the former Soviet Union to acquire the Superjet, development and marketing of which has been strongly backed by Italian firm Alenia.

York, please just let this matter rest
Posted: February 06, 2013|
The discovery of Richard III's remains in our city has captured the world's attention and focused much interest on the controversial king and, of course, Leicester itself. Attention that it seems has sparked jealousy – and you would have to say opportunism – from the City of York.
Political leaders and the Yorkshire tourism agencies have launched a campaign to have England's last Plantagenet King's remains taken from our city and interred at York Minster.
It would be easy to get angry and launch into a war of words with York, but let's examine their argument.
"He is described as the country's only northern king and should be returned to Yorkshire, his childhood and spiritual home."
Yes, but where? York is the argument, but his childhood home was more than 50 miles away. It is hardly compelling.
"York Minster is where he wished to be buried". There is no real evidence to support that claim and the Dean of York Minster is adamant that Leicester Cathedral is where he should be interred.
The claim by York seems to be more based on the potential tourism benefits, rather than any true spiritual or moral argument.
Leicester's mayor Sir Peter Soulsby has been angered by the claims. He points out: "This claim from York is absurd and a complete non-starter. It may generate some column inches for the local paper, but this matter has already been decided."
Sir Peter is referring to Government licence issued for the archeological dig, which stated that if Richard's remains were found, they should be interred in Leicester.
There is really no need for this city to enter into any argument with York on this matter. Richard will be interred in Leicester Cathedral.
It might also be pointed out that Richard has been buried in our city for the past 500 years in the less-than-glorious setting of a council car park.
Leicester can now give him a much more appropriate final resting place just yards away, in our cathedral, and a service befitting that of our monarch.
Please York, let the matter rest.
