Good food, music and desserts to die for
As soon as you enter, you have a feeling of being at the right place. The dim lights, the perfectly arranged tables and the smiling faces set the perfect mood for you if you are looking forward to some quiet time with your loved one or some quality time with your friends.
Now comes the food. You are spoiled for choice but do not leave without tasting the chicken in piri piri sauce or for that matter the pastas.
The best part about the place that i liked were the desserts. I tried almost all of them during my numerous visits and each one is a winner. The Brownie in a Jar is indeed a jar full of the most delicious chocolate brownie with the right amount of nuts and ice cream. The Awful Awful chocolate makes you feel awfully sinful and you would want to come back for more.
Though it can be a little tight on your pockets at times, you would never regret the experience.

Good Place for Continental Food
This place was on my wifes wish list for some time. We had to visit City Centre Mall for some work, and we decided to drop in here after that.
As we entered we found the place nearly empty on a Friday evening, which I found fairly surprising. A special pizza festival was going on at this place but we were not in the mood for pizzas. Also I had some items shortlisted from my previous visit here. A few friends had specially suggested Rosemary Chicken on their menu.
As we sat down, we saw that a few of my close foodie friends were seated in another table. Shamelessly hopped across and had a bite of whatever they were having. The Chicken chipotle tasted nice, though the chicken quality was a bit fibrous. A bite of cheese pepperoni pizza was pretty decent though.
Coming back, we started ordering. The Raw Mango and Mint Lemonade (Rs 160) is an all time favorite of mine. It tasted as great as ever. The Chicken Bruschetta (Rs 180) again a favorite from my last visit was again a winner with the melted mozzarella and cheese topping. My wife was particularly impressed by this.
Coming to main course, we found that the menu has changed and Rosemary Chicken was no longer there. Next wanted to try Cajun Fish but again it was gone from the menu. Spoke to the Chef who suggested Pescado Veracruzano (Rs 440) a Mexican fish preparation. My wife, who had a heavy lunch earlier, ordered a light Piri Piri Chicken Burger (Rs 290).
The Piri Piri Burger was served with French fries, salad and a tasty dip. The bread was soft and the fillings were spicy. Would suggest this to anyone who visits the place.
The Pescado Veracruzano was essentially two fillets of fish (whereas the chef said it was murrel, the waiter told me it was basa it tasted murrel to me) in a Mexican marinade, served with mashed potato, sautéed vegetables and a dip. Everything was good except for the fact that the fish had not drawn in the juice. On enquiry the chef said that the fish was marinated for at least 3 hours. Maybe, the particular fillet acted stubborn and refused to draw in the marinade.
We did not order any dessert as we were quite full at the end of the meal. The bill for the four items came to Rs 1480, inclusive of a 10% service charge.
A decent meal, though not extraordinary.

Never Get Bored !
Never get bored with this one place, it has some magic which always takes me here again and again. I visited on a Sunday evening and the place was buzzing with lots of foodies, good to see such huge crowd. I along with couple of friends sat comfortably in the huge sofas which are my most favourite seating option here. As always the ever smiling Raj Kiran came to us and took the order and started with Virgin Moijito, the simpler of the drinks one can mess with.
First to arrive was Fish n Chips Served with fried potato wedges, amazingly well cooked and very soft, fish lovers must try this dish. Then came the Lamb pepperoni pizza with black olives. I must say the lamb pepperoni slices had nice thickness; it was simply mouth-watering and very flavorful with the black olives in abundance on the pizza. Pan sear Rosemary chicken served with potato baked in onions, I was very impressed with the rosemary flavour which complemented well with the potatoes and onions.
Finally, we moved the most irresistible and most lip-smacking section DESSERTS. Choco Volcano Hot fudge sauce filled in a rice American style muffin topped with vanilla ice creams, most delicious and appetizing dessert. My friend ordered Rich Moist Dark Chocolate Cake Six stories of high cake slice, rich chocolate with soft sponge, boy I must say it was sinfully yummiest, even better than the earlier one. It is a huge portion of pure ecstasy filled with chocolate. We were totally full after having this dessert and could hardly get out of the restaurant.
Overall I am satisfied with the food and service. Every time I visit, I return back totally content with the food, not just me even my friends were very happy and totally satisfied.

English Breakfast !
I had been to their weekend breakfast recently which started couple of months back. They do not have breakfast buffet, it is only Ala carte menu. I was joined by another foodie, so we thought to have a heavy breakfast and we started with the following;
1. Egg Benedict It is served with soft bread, chicken sausages, topped with chicken Pepperoni slices, poached eggs, Hash Brown and Hollandaise sauce. I like the taste of the poached egg which is so perfectly done I could not stop eating. Hash brown was really great I guess this must be one among the best available in the city.
2. Pesto scramble scrambled egg in pesto sauce, Hash Brown and chicken sausages topped with roasted pine nuts. This was also good but not as good as the earlier one.
3. Croissant & Danish croissant was perfectly soft and nicely done. Danish was a stuffed one still it was better than the croissant for me, thought my fellow foodie preferred other one.
4. Shrimp & potato frittata this was nice with shrimps, bell peppers, mushrooms on egg Omlet. It was simply too good. I would have preferred the shrimps to be little soft.
5. Plain Pancake & Chocochips Pancake both were served with Maple syrup, blueberries sauce and Sweet Cheese. The combination of all these are simply amazing and out of the world. Only issue was I found the size of the pancake little small, I would have preferred it in the size of crape.
6. Banana nutella Crepe it is a nutella and banana filled crape served with icing sugar and maple syrup & Blueberries jam; it was just so lip-smacking I did not speak all the while when I was having it.
7. Berri Juice this was also good.
It was absolutely amazing morning breakfast with good service. I would not say this is the best but better them few of the available English breakfast in the town.

Great bistro food....
Recently many foodies have been recommending Ruci & Idoni to me. Also their recent weekend breakfast option has drawn a lot of attention. As I am not much of a breakfast person, I preferred a quiet lunch at the restaurant.
Ruci & Idoni is in the busy area of Banjara Hills, in the road next to City Centre. I found that the restaurant was fairly crowded. There were different age groups dining there, including some senior government officials. I had interacted with their Manager Mr Praveen before, and he along with the staff welcomed me warmly. Through the glass partition the kitchen was completely visible. I preferred a seat closer to the kitchen rather than the outside, so that I could watch the goings on there.
I started with Mango lemonade, one of their well known slushes. In Ruci & Idoni, the lemonades are served in jars instead of glasses, and the quantity is quite large. One of my favorites is the Raw mango and mint combo which is awesome.
The starters and short eats list in the menu is rather large. Chicken Bruschetta is a particular favorite I loved the chicken and mozzarella topping. The Three cheese baked mushroom is a combination of three cheeses on a bed of mushroom served with a tomato dip. Mild flavored and extraordinarily tasty, this is a must have vegetarian dish. The Tostada is essentially a fried tortilla with a topping of shrimps, tomatoes, corn in barbeque sauce and melted cheese. It is spicy and should be well appreciated by the spice loving Hyderabadis. The lemon garlic prawn is a set of prawn skewers which are marinated in an olive and garlic based sauce and served on a bed of cabbage leaves. The prawns were succulent, but I felt that the sauce should have been a bit more in the dish.
Ruci & Idoni is known for their thin crust pizza. I tried a few slices of their special product chicken pizza on a multigrain base. The multigrain pizza is a healthy option and the pizza crust is thicker than the normal thin crust. The toppings had chicken, cheese and sausages and were really awesome. Mr Praveen informed me that the pizza bases in Ruci & Idoni are prepared fresh in the live kitchen.
A Bengali like me will never miss out on the fish tried the Cilantro fish there. A thick fillet of basa fish with a coriander herb and garlic based marinade and a dip, this was accompanied by baby corn and vegetables as well as risotto. The herb and coriander flavor blended well with the fish. I had heard good reviews of Cajun Fish from my fellow foodies, but this was great too. The dip was slightly bland for my liking though.
The other main course was Chicken Piri Piri. Piri Piri is a sauce which in African means a very hot dish with chilli peppers. True to its name, this was a very very spicy dish, but extremely tasty. I was told by Mr Praveen that this is possibly the most popular dish in the restaurant. It was a large piece of grilled chicken in piri piri sauce. This was accompanied by vegetables and potato mash. The chicken was soft and non-fibrous and I loved the taste of the sauce. However an advice to people who cannot take spicy food avoid this.
Ended the lunch with ebony and ivory a well presented combination of chocolate and vanilla scoops.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The staff took good care, and Mr Praveen was at hand to explain each and every query that I had. The menu is huge and there are so many other things left to try. I look forward to visit them for their weekend breakfast shortly.

Lazy Saturday Lunch !
Ruci & Idoni how many of you folk really know the meaning of Ruci & Idoni, Ruci in Sanskrit means taste and Idoni means here. So place where you get tasty food. I did not know it has such a beautiful meaning to it. I had visited on a lazy Saturday afternoon for lunch and I was surprised to see couple of my friends already present there, so from lazy lunch it turned into amazing lunch. We asked Mr.Praveen to serve whatever he feels good which I did not have earlier and we were engrossed in our discussions.
First to arrive was humungous jar of Mango Lemonade, ice tea and Leeches mocktail. Mango and ice tea were simply heavenly the other one was little too sweet. Then came starters Buttermilk Fried Chicken which is my most favorite dish here, chicken was juicy inside and very crispy outside served with bell pepper sauce. Veg Bruchette - this is a simple dish made of finely chopped tomatoes and Basil, served over bread and with olive oil. It was very fresh and tasty.
Then arrived Fish and chicken dishes, I forgot the name of them but both were really very exciting, tasty and full of flavours. Along came chicken thin crust pizza, wow it was very yummy. We were so stuffed that we could not move from the seats. I have finally ordered the Ohris most renowned dessert Classic Awful awful, Brownie awful awful and Nutella awful awful. Awful and Awful two negatives means positive, its so positive that one can just die for. We all loved the food and were stuffed so much we did not leave the place for another one hour. Service was good and served very hot.
Special thanks to Mr. Praveen and Mr Rajashaker for all the wonderful food and hospitality. Look forward to visit very soon.

Gastronomic Delight!
It was a hot sunny day and unexpectedly the weather turned very pleasant with unanticipated shower in the evening, cooling the entire environment. "FOOD" is what came to my mind, no better way to enjoy on such a wonderful evening. After my meeting I headed straight to Ruci & Idoni and started my dinner. I need not talk about the ambiance as most of the folks might have known about it. I was promptly seated at the glass wall overlooking the kitchen.
I have thought not to order any dish of my choice, rather I preferred to take the choice of the restaurant staff to serve me whatever they feel like. I checked with Mr Praveen and Ms Sarana to get anything and that would be fine with me.
And here goes my gastronomic journey;
- Mango Mint slush - this a very pleasant chilled mango drink with crushed mint, the soothing taste of Mango complemented well with the pungent and refreshing mint. I really loved it.
- Chicken Teriyaki skewers - Teriyaki Chicken is a Japanese dish, good size of chicken pieces were used and properly marinated which is then grilled. It was amazing with the flavours of soy sauce and honey, which are very evident in the dish. I would recommend this if you have a liking towards Japanese cuisine, else you many not like it.
- Buttermilk Fried Chicken - long cut boneless chicken marinated in butter milk for 45 mins and deep fried. The chicken is juicy inside and crispy outside which is the uniqueness of this dish. The flavor of butter milk is very subtle and its one of my favorite here. It is well complimented with the bell pepper sauce. The presentation was perfect and very enticing.
- Chicken Bruchette - this is a simple dish made of shredded chicken cooked in white sauce, served over bread and drizzled with olive oil. Again I would like to mention the flavor is very mild.
- Cajun Grilled River Sole - I am not sure how many folks had this, I for one who loves spicy food was dumbfounded with this one. After having the two mild and subtle chicken dishes this was a feast to my palate, my tasted buds got the stimulus that was required. It is a single large slice of sole fish marinated in Cajun seasoning and grilled. Cajun seasoning is a blend of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano and thyme. The fish was appropriately and flawlessly cooked. Presented on potatoes wedges, broccoli and lettuce. Presentation was so amazing I thought for a while how to disturb it. I am so engrossed and impressed by the flavors of this dish; I am going to have it every time I visit this place. It is a perfect combination for this rainy weather.
- Rich Fantasy Shake - it is a rich milk shake with Vanilla ice cream, Almonds, Cashew nuts, Walnuts and Caramel. I can say this in actuality a very thick shake.
- Fruit Affogato - this is a creation / invention of Mr.Praveen which now rightly got its place on the menu. It is a freshly brewed coffee in a scoop of chocolate ice cream, topped with fresh cream and fresh fruits like kiwi fruit, strawberry, apple and pomegranate seeds. This is a perfect ending to a scrumptious dinner. Though I am not a big fan of coffee but I am so perplexed with the aroma and flavour of coffee and how well the fruits complemented the coffee, it was out of my reach to express. All coffee lovers this is my sincere recommendation.
- Pink Lemonade Fizz - it is strawberry and lemon concoction.
I have a tendency of meeting the Chef where ever I dine, I had a very long conversation with the Chef Raj, and I appreciated Ms. Sarana and Mr Praveen for suggesting my dinner for the night. The services were spot on and prompt.
I am over the moon; thought I could not see moon due to rain, but was totally content with food. The food portions were really generous and I was totally stuffed. This is my third visit to this place and a complete gastronomic tour. My last visit was a disappointment, so I thought to re-visit this place to get second opinion. I am a big time fan of Ohri's group and for sure they would not disappoint their customers, they are 33 years brand. I do understand some glitches here and there but as a common man I don't expect them with so much expertise and experience to commit any errors in their service and food. We expect very high standards. We want you to be more systematic, organized and well equipped, when you serve to large groups. I hope the management would consider my humble suggestion in a positive manner.

Service worries...
Visited this place as part of the foodies meet of the Facebook community "Hyderabad Foodies". Around 30 people converged on this place on a warm Sunday afternoon.
The place has an open kitchen allowing the food lover to watch different items as they are being prepared. This definitely is a good experience and I enjoyed standing next to the glass panel and watching the goings -on.
Coming to the food, we had a set menu with choices in each section, but most of us opted to share dishes resulting in us checking out all the items in the menu.
For soup I tried out the Chicken Spinach soup, the only non-veg soup in the set menu. The soup had a strong flavor of spinach and I kind of liked it. This was followed by Chicken Bruchetta, which was chicken pieces with melted cheese served on a garlic bread. I found it good, though nothing extraordinary. Along with this was Spinach Ricotta Croquettes, with a sweet and spicy dip. This was yummy, possibly the best dish of the night.
We were given various options for lemonades and I chose the strawberry one. It lacked fizz and I did not like the flavor much.
Next in were the pizzas - margherita and smoked chicken. The thin crusts of the pizzas seemed too thin for me... and for both the topping was mainly cheese with other ingredients like chicken or tomato scauce. I did not like the pepper corns - but that is a personal preference.
The two main dishes I tried were good - Fettucini with grilled chicken which is pasta and chicken in tomato and cheese and Chicken Fricasee, served with vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli etc) in a well tasting whitish sauce.
I am not much of a dessert fan - opted for scoops of coffee, choco and hazelnut ice creams.
Overall the food was not too bad, but the service left a lot to be desired. The waitresses worked hard but the coordination was simply not there. The Ruci & Idoni the staff looked completely confused on who ordered what (of course it was not helped much by foodies changing their seats and walking around). Towards the later half of the meal it just went haywire... the staff were coming out with the main courses... and literally dumping it to the first empty space they found on the table.
I think the Bistro has good potential but they really need to concentrate on service especially to large groups. Otherwise it will not be a very fulfilling experience for the food enthusiasts.
Will possibly try out an a-la-carte visit as the menu looked interesting, even at the risk of being disappointed.
Food - 3.5/5
Ambiance - 4/5
Service - 2/5

Service needs to be improved!
I was here on the Hyderabad Foodies weekly event. The ambiance and interiors are done to perfection. The combination of colors red and black is my favorite and I was very impressed with the way they utilized these colors. You would find a lot many sticky notes on the walls appreciating their cuisine. Now lets talk about the food, we had a preset menu.
The menu goes like this;
- Chicken Spinach Soup - this is creamy spinach soup with corn and chicken. I usually stay away from soups, but after everyone going gaga over it, I had to try and it did not disappoint me. It was tasty and creamy yet not too thick. You can feel the flavors of spinach very distinctively. After a very long time I had a wonderful soup.
- Smoked Chicken Pizza - the pizza is not like the regular pizza you get elsewhere. It is very thin and their own style pizza yet little crunchy to taste. It is supposed to come with smoked chicken topping and believe me I hardly found anything on the pizza, this was a disappointment but the cheese and fresh green pepper corns was a welcoming taste. If not for the quantity of chicken I would have enjoyed it more.
- Chicken Bruchetta, as a short eat was a nice and tasty one but would have liked if the bread would be crunchier. The chicken and cheese was perfectly done.
- Spinach Ricotta Croquettes, again another short eat was by far one of the best of the day.
- Tomato & Basil Bruchetta, it is also a short eat and it was very refreshing, especially the basil which added a different flavor. I did like this one.
- Chicken Fricassee is from the main course, served with Chicken, Carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli etc) in white sauce. This was well done with the creamy texture and taste of the dish was very fascinating.
- From the Desserts I had Chill Stone Ice Cream Creation it was done well, my choice was chocolate and nuts. It was very nice.
- I had tasted Hazelnut and chocolate tart. This is one of the worst dessert I ever had. The tart was rock solid and you need a hammer to break it down. I brought this to the notice of the chef and he did give me a reason but I was not satisfied with it. When you pay for good food, you are not here to take their reasoning why it went wrong.
- I also tried the Mango Cheese Cake, thanks to fellow foodies, this was more like a souffle and mousse and pudding but no way close to be called a Cheese cake. But the flavour of the Alphonso mango was amazing. For the sake of the Alphonso mango I had it else I would have given it a skip.
- The other items disappointed most of the foodies and I did taste couple of them and I was very unhappy with them.
I ended my meal with drink, I asked the hostess (Sarana) to get whatever she felt good, and it was nice and I am pleased with the combination.
I appreciate Ms. Sarana, Ms. Kim and Mr Praveen for putting a lot of effort to remember our foodies and serve their order from the preset menu; it was really a test for their memory. I thank the entire team for putting an effort to make this a successful event. The service was a little haywire due to two parties going side by side and as usual their regular guest pouring in which also added to their woes.
I suggest the management to look into this area and improve their efficiency to satisfy more customers.
Overall I am delighted but not totally content with food. The food portions were little disappointing and few were out of taste. The tables and chairs are neat and tidy. The cutlery is perfect. Parking is not an issue. Rest rooms are hygienic. I would re-visit this place to get my second opinion.

Excellent ambience and yummy food
We have visited this place thrice. I admit that I thought the good food was a 'fluke' the first time..... but 3 times in a row.....hats off to the chef at Ruci & Idoni (Banjara Hills). Their onion rings and the dips are to die for. The pizza is worth the effort of driving to this place and their desert of brownie and icecream or caramel and ice cream is simply out of this world. i would strongly suggest this place for their veg fare especially the sandwiches ...great cooking chef!!!

Something Different
The best time to visit Ruci and Idoni is early in the evening. You can sit back and relax over a cup of coffee or tea, and then have dinner when you are ready. The main course doesn't have a lot to offer if you aren't in the mood for pizzas, and veggies might not be pleased with the options. However, I thoroughly enjoy the grilled chicken, and invariably finish things off with the alcohol infused Tiramisu.

Delicious Food
it's a great place for friends and family who like to taste western food. For those who have been devouring Indian and Chinese food , it's probably right option in Hyderabad for trying different.
Good job team Ruci & idoni! Cheers!

Food Quality Awful
Been there on 18 Dec 2012. We had ordered Nachos, Pasta, and a grilled fish. First both the main dishes were not served hot. Not at all tasty, we could finish only half of it.
No enthusiasm with staff to check on the guest... had to leave a note on paper napkin...

Wouldn't go there again
The place has good ambiance like any other Ohri's restaurants. The service is extremely bad. I had to ask repeatedly for water, menu and for someone to take my order.
My husband and I ordered the Club House Salad, Belgian Meat Pizza and Spinach Ravioli. The salad was bad and poorly presented. The pizza was ok but why they call it Belgian meat pizza, I had no idea. I was just a this crust pizza base with a pieces of salami thrown on it with toppings here and there. Please, if you ever do go there, do NOT order the ravioli. All they give is lasagna sheets in pasta sauce instead of actual ravioli.
I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

Just about Average-Ohri's Rucci & Idoni
The old place is now rechristened as Ohri's R&I,but nothing major has changed if at all the disappointments have been added!
The place has an entry from inside Nature's Basket as well as from the outside.Valet parking available,though I did not use it.I parked in front of Nature's Basket.The elevator is a unique one as it has doors opening to both sides(this is to facilitate people who want to take it from the shop as well people who are coming in from outside).
Place is brightly lit and is all in a red and black decor.No tablet menus or anything of that sort.Just a misleading news item to get in the crowds I suppose.
The place was relatively empty.They have tables(can seat 4) lined up by the glass wall overlookin the main road and the rest of the place has these huge sofas which are very very uncomfortable to sit.You can only sit on those sofas-not sit and eat,you would have a severe backache if you try eating sitting on them as the seats are too long and hence the distance between the table and the sofas are huge(ergonomically all wrong).Situation similar to Hadippas(ofcourse the height here is not a problem).
Menu is in the form of a hard board(so that blows the lid off the tablets).I did not see any tablets anywhere.Typically Ohris- the place is flooded with staff with a lot many of the managers/asst managers etc walking around with their own air of importance.Every request gets passed down the chain of hierarchy before it gets implemented.Since I was alone I had all the time in the world to sit around and observe.Next table couple asked for some sauces when the manager came by to ask the customary-All izz well?.The sauce request travelled down the entire hierarchy as I was observing in the following manner:Manager-Asst Manager-Captain-Waiter-Junior most Waiter and all that had to be done was pick the bottle from the adjacent table!
Service training anywhich ways was-is-and will never be a highlight of Ohris is the same here.Too many people coming around asking to take the order,if they are touting this to be premium,then they need to be acting like premium as well not premium just on the menu!
Ordered for Caesar Classico chicken salad and a chicken piri piri.I remember reading somewhere else some time ago the piri was a portuguese do with a mediterranean flavor.The salad was a complete downer,all it had was some chicken and loads of lettuce and some hard to find shavings of parmesan cheese,dry and fried bread crumbs and comes with a half piece of bread.To be brutally frank,this salad is just the same as what you get in all the Basera buffets in the name of chicken salad.Its just that its given a name and a price here!
Service was slightly confusing,i wanted my piri nice and warm and the person who took the order told me it would take a minimum of 25minutes which was fine with me as I was in no hurry plus i was with the salad for company.But voila,i place the order and within a minute the piri piri comes and I was like whaaat.They just diverted some other wrong order onto me ,no idea what went wrong,i declined it saying i want it after some time so it went back and in a minute the same thing went to another table.So much for confusions.
The piri was nice,though chicken was super hard,the steel cutlery knife just couldnt cut through it,one would probably need the real proper knife(similar to what Yokos used to give).I had a tough time(i guess the chicken had to be grilled a wee bit more).The dish was spicy and it came with a complimentary small bowl salad and half a piece of long garlic bread which was toasted and cooled so it was very difficult to bite into it
Overall the place is just ok IMHO.Nothing to rave about,yes slightly better off than its previous avataar thanks to the pricing being slightly better.Salads are priced at 150,Starters of the bread varieties are priced at 145,pizzas are priced between 260 and 350 but the portions are small-personal pan sizes.Pastas are priced at 280-350.The piri piri was 260.The desserts and shakes are between 150 and 300.Burgers and sandwiches between 160 & 250.The place has a glass kitchen.
My experience tells me that I might go there once again,but frankly the service and miserable quantities of cheese in the dishes left me with mixed feelings.There is a 10pcnt service charge and a 14.5 VAT.,which means I ended up paying a good 100+ extra.A meal for one would easily cost 500rs as portions are just apt for one.
Its a good place to go once in a blue moon.I still miss my Bangalore's Casa Piccola.

It is being re-opened
I have been passing by this place today and noticed Ohri's has taken over Ruci and Idoni. They are re-opening it in couple of weeks.
I am very excited. I had been missing this place ever since it closed down.

not worth money
we went their for Sunday buffet break which was kind of Dubious as it's not buffet just like mini Thali
for 2 people we paid Rs 826 (Included service charges of 35 bucks) and all you get is
you get a card with menu items and you need to select any one item in that card so ideally here is what i got
1 glass fo Fresh juce which teh waiter pored out of a packet with Brand name KDB printed on it
1 piece of small pancake with 10 ml of maple syrup/sugar syrup
scrambled egg made of 1 egg
1 piece of Hash brows each of teh size of 5 Rupee coin
1 Piece of Junk Muffin which tasted like eating Raw floor
A glass of Team
1 Piece of brown bead in 2 triangular pieces,
i appreciate all the who have give positive reply on this joint but by end of day i felt cheated by advertising it as "Sunday Buffet" breakfast,

nice ambience ...but ...
this is about the rd no 10 one cause the gvk one closed:
parking 5/10
service by waiters 7/10
food 3/10
cold coffees, milkshakes 8/10
if u have travelled the world , eaten in boulangeries or patisseries in paris or london or for that matter if u have eaten in the best of mumbai and delhi , ruci and idoni in hyd will dissapoint u.
the owner had a good idea of the supermarket downstairs very convenient and well maintained , but the 3rd floor cafe is not so wow when it comes to food .ambience is very comfy and relaxing and u could spend hours here chatting with your friends.
the saving grace are the cold coffees and the chilly garlic bread. the risotto tastes different everytime u order one ,,,,,, the pizzas are nothing to write home about ....
just wish when they had invested a fortune on the property and interiors , the food could have tasted a notch higher...
hydbadis can afford to shell out more now than ever b4 for good global cuisine... but its very rare that in this city the food matches up to the location, interiors and service and the fancy names..........

Nice place but Pricey for its class
I traveled 1.5hrs one way to visit Ruci & Idoni because I was craving a decent sandwich in town. I ordered the Grilled Panini Sandwich which was delicious, but quite pricey at Rs. 295 for a medium sandwich. Maybe I am accustomed to larger portions, but since I left out the bacon, they could have added something else, since the sandwich was not really filling. The french fries served alongside were crisp and perfect. My DH ordered the Tuna Salad Sandwich at Rs.205, which I found to be extremely fishy. We did not order any drinks, because our bill was already at Rs. 500+ so far.
I wanted an Almond Croissant for dessert, but they ran out of it. So settled for Tiramisu priced at Rs.140. It was the most horrible piece of Tiramisu I ever had. I have visited many an authentic Italian place and have eaten enough Tiramisu to state the obvious: Guys you have gotten it wrong completely. Tiramisu is just mascarpone cheese alternating with ladyfingers dipped in espresso. The version I had at your bistro was hard and lumpy, and the cake tasted like cardboard. Tiramisu is supposed to be light and airy, yours was dense and greasy. Please revisit the recipe and see what you are doing incorrectly.
I am addicted to your Almond Croissant, so pls keep that up!
4 stars because you are a neat and extremely clean bistro and I would like to see you succeed.

Good for an average american food
We went there this afternoon and the bistro was quite, had only 1 or two tables besides us.
I liked the menu design since it had some of my favorite movies like good bad ugly, godfather etc. The menu had quite a bit of choices and it all looked too good.
We ordered a barbeque chicken sandwich, barbeque pizza, chicken lasagna and waffles. They could increase the quantity and quality of the food.
The service was just right and so keep it up.

Not worth the price
I had gone of a meal there in the noon today. A veggie burger cost Rs. 195 which is just a cutlet, a slice of lettuce and a slice of tomato between a bun of size 3 inch. a few french fries.... taste was ok... but absolutely not worth 195.
the mushroom rissotto was very very dry and tasted as if it was re heated in the microwave and given.
a sad meal for two with softdrinks costs 650. better options around.

Food and service both quite pedestrian ...
Late lunch today with a friend - the vegetable broth has quite a simmer of oil, but otherwise just about passable - the pasta of the pasta chicken alfredo was undercooked, chicken pieces unmarinated, and too little sauce making it dry, disappointing. The pizza mediterranean though was quite good. The service was extremely inattentive. The prices high considering the very mediocre quality of both food and service. The soup and pasta were not even served with a side order of a roll / garlic bread.
Overall just about average, if one throws in the newness and the concept - else below average.... 3 stars here because I am in a generous mood ...

Cuisine: Patisserie, Cafe, Italian
Location: North Perth – Fitzgerald Street
I'm a real fan of patisseries and as I recently discovered Dolcetto Patisserie & Cafe, I decided to pay them a visit. This is an Italian patisserie started in 2011 that makes wedding cakes and cakes to order, but also makes a variety of pastries that can be bought in store. They also run a cafe so you can grab a meal and then take some pastries home. They have a lot to choose from so that made the choice hard, but in the end I took home a variety:
Clockwise from top left:
- Tiramisu slice – really lovely flavour though the cake had gone a bit dry and was lacking moistness. Tasty.
- Coffee Eclair – lovely eclair stuffed with plenty of custard with the hint of a coffee flavour. The icing on the top is a bit too sweet though.
- Cannoli with custard cream – oh yum. I really love cannoli and these are excellent. A firm, at times crisp pastry but soft. I know that's a contradiction but if you've eaten cannoli like this you know what I mean. The pastry is delicious and the Italian custard filling even better.
- Cannoli with chocolate cream – this was the first pastry item I reached for and I just closed my eyes after the first bite, savouring the delicious chocolate custard. So delicious!
- Almond Biscuit – I'm not sure what they were called but there were several varieties of these biscuits. This and the next 2 items are costed by weight. The biscuits are made with almond meal and have a nice texture and flavour. However, I'm not really a big fan of this type of flavour. No criticism on Dolcetto just my personal preference.
- Baci Biscuit – Traditional Italian hazelnut and chocolate biscuit. There's certainly the flavour of the chocolate but it's not too chocolatey. Quite nice.
- Almond Biscuit – similar to the first kind of biscuit but this had some kind of dried fruit and tasted a little like marzipan. Once again, not to my taste.
Dolcetto Food Review Summary
Verdict: I'm a real fan of patisseries and this Italian patisserie serves up a variety of pastry items, including wedding cakes and other made to order cakes, plus the cafe which serves breakfast and lunch. I really loved the cannoli, delicious soft firm and at times crisp pastry surrounding the filling. The Italian custard was delicious but I liked the chocolate custard even better. The tiramisu slice carried lovely flavours of a tiramisu but was a little dry but still tasty. The delicious coffee eclair had a hint of coffee flavour in the custard filling but was a little too sweet for my liking. I didn't really like the almond biscuit varieties which aren't to my tastes but the baci biscuit was good. Thank goodness for patisseries and the lovely goods they offer.
Price: Bargain
Taste: Delicious
Value: Excellent
Recommendation: Recommend

Question..I have a Pretty big sore on my scalp..
I have been cg for a little over 1 month now and am finally starting to see real good results:blob7:.
Before going cg i had a dry flaky scalp on top of my dry frizzy curly hair. i can honestly say my hair has never looked more soft and healthy in all my life, and my scalp is almost completly flakeless (if that is even a word) it just feels very healthy also.
anyways about 4 or 5 days ago i noticed a sore in my hairline kinda above my right temple about 1/4 inch wide and it has a big scab over it. I will admit i was kinda picking at it the first couple days :confused1:, but it is so painful and i knew it wouldent heal till i stoped so i did. i have been cleaning my scalp like normal and when i get to that area i just gently rub it and it is not getting any better. the scab is not getting smaller or anything. has anyone ever had this problem? what i am using is in my siggy, but i kinda dont feel like its that. im thinking a clogged pore?!?!?:-(any advise would be much appriciated!! :help:
Hi nicolewoods1,
My daughter tends to have a flaky scalp and she also gets small pinkish/red sores. I have taken her to a dermatologist, and she said that it is eczema. My daughter has had eczema since she was born (she is a teenager now), but it seems to get worse in the warmer months. It also gets bad if she is in the sun without a hat on.
Is your sore pinkish/red? The last time we went to the doctor, she gave her a prescription for Beta-Val (a clear liquid that she puts on the sores). A few times/month she also uses Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Hair and Scalp Treatment. The sores seem to come and go.
Have you ever had this before?
I get places like that with my seborrheic dermatitis, too. Psoriasis can also cause them. This is why I can't go strictly CG and have to low-poo occasionally with Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat Shampoo - much better results than with Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo, which is undesirable to most because it contains sulfates, unless it's recently been reformulated. My hair just otherwise prefers the natural ingredients in the Giovanni, too.
And when I co-wash, I use the matching conditioner, applying it and working it into my scalp for several minutes before ever getting into the shower. I leave it on for 10-15 minutes when I have time.
I get sores like that too on my scalp sometimes. I also can't just cowash or else I end up getting sores, no matter what conditioner I use. Anyway, I also recommend the Giovanni TTTT shampoo! It has really helped and is quite gentle. You also might want to look into getting some straight tea tree oil. I either apply it straight to the sores or mix it with some jojoba oil and massage my scalp with it, which does seem to help!
Thanks ladies,
anniemae~ my daughters have eczema also. my eldest has it pretty bad but as she has gotten older we see less and less of it. I dont have it though (as far as i know :confused1:) i do tend to have sensitive skin though..like i have rosacea and i burn easy. its just funny cause since going cg my scalp has gotten better, then this happens.
it is not red it has a white thick scab over it (sorry if im grossing anyone out) when i did pick at it (the first couple days) it dident "bleed" it was just a little bit of clear fluid.:dontknow:
Anyways i think im just gonna do like you ladies suggested and instead of using giovanni 50/50 im going to get the TTTT. I only low poo like 2 times a month (at least that is what i did this past month) so hopefully that will help. Thanks again for the advise and support i appreciate it!!! :love7:
I have roseacea and sensitive skin, too - all of these problems seem pretty common in curlies of Celtic descent. Does that fit you, too?
Anyway, if you find low-pooing a couple of times a month not to be enough, try co-washing w/the GTTTT conditioner, too.
I have roseacea and sensitive skin, too - all of these problems seem pretty common in curlies of Celtic descent. Does that fit you, too?
I do have irish in me.. and german and indian, and prob a couple other things..:happy10: not exactly petagree over here :king:
When did you find out you had roseacea? I was in my early 20's,so about 10 years ago. its mild to moderate though. i had someone say i had flawless skin a couple weeks ago and noone could have given me a better compliment!! Thank God for mineral makeup!:laughing6: you can really tell when i dont wear makeup though. at least to me you can.
Im going to get the tee low poo and cond this weekend, the sore is going away. it is still tender though.hopfully after i tweek my regiment some this wont happen agian! =)
i used to get occasional long-lasting sores on my scalp and I came to realize that I just wasn't cleaning my scalp often enough.
With co-washing I was no longer getting oily or itchy so I thought I could go for 7 days w/o washing or rinsing my scalp.
Now I co-wash or lo-poo or water rinse every 3-4 days even if my hair doesn't seem dirty. It's the scalp more than the hair that needs to have all the congesting materials like old sloughed-off skin cells; dried product residue and the general air pollution particles and chemicals that settle on our heads throughout the day removed so that it can breathe.
Ever since I've refreshed my scalp on this time schedule, I've not had any of these sores develop. My scalp was choking and was screaming to breath and could only tell me by sending out the sores as a distress signal.
Also, you could be experiencing a transition from shampoo to co-washing since you've been doing this for about only 1 month. If you keep it up, things will get better.
I have two of these ... it's from my seborrheic dermatitis originally, but I'm a picker. If you leave it alone, it should go away, or you'll end up with bald spots like me :/
Oh my!! you got bald spots from picking?!?
well i hope it is in a not so noticeable spot.
Well i did pick it at first but i will not be doing that anymore.:sad5:
Im also gonna up on my co-washes to. hopefully that will help to
My ex-husband used to get infected follicles sometimes on his scalp, and he would not leave them alone--they DID result in bald patches! The hair eventually grew back, but it took several months or even years in some cases.
I'm a mongrel, too - mostly Scots Irish but a lot of other bits, too.
I agree about washing the scalp more often. If I go more than 4 days, I usually really start having problems. I have to cleanse and scrub it well, whether by low-pooing or co-washing pretty regularly to keep it in check. I do best to go 3 days usually. I used to think going longer was giving it a break from shampoos, styling, etc., especially when I still used sulfates, but I finally learned differently.
I think that is my problem, when i was using sulfates it dried my hair out so bad i only washed it once a week. so im relizing now that my scalp is the one that needs the attention and it needs to be cleaned 2 to 3 times a week. it just feels odd cleaning my scalp that often all of the sudden.. go figure!!
To relieve the pain and also heal the sore faster i also reccomend the tea tree EO mixed with oil and massage. Also If you do ACV rinses you can add the Tea Tree Oil just a few drops to your ACV rinse for maintanence.
Best thing I have found for it, hope you try it and I hope it works.

Ghetto at the Center of the World
Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong
There is nowhere else in the world quite like Chungking Mansions, a dilapidated seventeen-story commercial and residential structure in the heart of Hong Kong's tourist district. A remarkably motley group of people call the building home; Pakistani phone stall operators, Chinese guesthouse workers, Nepalese heroin addicts, Indonesian sex workers, and traders and asylum seekers from all over Asia and Africa live and work there—even backpacking tourists rent rooms. In short, it is possibly the most globalized spot on the planet.
But as Ghetto at the Center of the World shows us, a trip to Chungking Mansions reveals a far less glamorous side of globalization. A world away from the gleaming headquarters of multinational corporations, Chungking Mansions is emblematic of the way globalization actually works for most of the world's people. Gordon Mathews's intimate portrayal of the building's polyethnic residents lays bare their intricate connections to the international circulation of goods, money, and ideas. We come to understand the day-to-day realities of globalization through the stories of entrepreneurs from Africa carting cell phones in their luggage to sell back home and temporary workers from South Asia struggling to earn money to bring to their families. And we see that this so-called ghetto—which inspires fear in many of Hong Kong's other residents, despite its low crime rate—is not a place of darkness and desperation but a beacon of hope.
Gordon Mathews's compendium of riveting stories enthralls and instructs in equal measure, making Ghetto at the Center of the World not just a fascinating tour of a singular place but also a peek into the future of life on our shrinking planet.
"In this wonderful book Gordon Mathews takes on an intriguing project: daily life as it is lived, articulated, dreamed, denied, regretted, and defended in a rather rundown but very public building in Hong Kong. The residents of Chungking Mansions are economically blocked from the rest of the city and often racially discriminated against, so how do such marginalized people survive, much less prosper? This is the conundrum at the heart of Ghetto at the Center of the World. Mathews tackles it by providing a vivid description of the people who live their lives in the building's dimly lit hallways, restaurants, and shops, and by analyzing the larger material and political forces at work. The resulting account is as informative and revealing as it is entertaining."

Who knew this ice bucket challenge thing was so dangerous. Oh sure, we've seen people get the whole bucket dropped on them from above, but no one has died from it...until now. Sad story...
An 18 year old apparently did the challenge, then jumped into a quarry full of water and drowned...full story after the jump HERE

On May 10th, a cute little girl named Angel quietly crossed over the Bridge, leaving behind her small litter of three kittens. She was barely more than a kitten herself and had a tough life living alone on a construction site.
Good thing for her that George and I were here to greet her and knew just what to do with her babies. We'd already kind of had it in motion, as our Daddy had already been aware of her and her kittens and was planning on taking [at least] one of them. However, when he received the news of Angel's crossing, he immediately collected all three and took them to their furever home as an early Mother's Day present for our Mawmee.
Today's my 5 year anniversary at the Bridge and I see Mawmee being especially sad -- those milestones are tough. I want her to know that I'm ok and making all sorts of friends that we didn't know when I was still on earth. [Mawmee hadn't found Catster yet]. George and I are watching over Mawmee and Daddy and our fur fuamily from here.
Dar Jas,
Okay, so it's a day late, but everyone knows that's normal for me. But I don't need a special day to think of you, Jas. You were my first cat (at least as an adult -- we'd had a cat and dogs as a kid) and will always have a very special place in my heart. Same with Daddy. After all, he bought you for me as an anniversary gift when we were first dating. You had a special bond with each of us.
I think of you every day when I see the picture of you and George sleeping together on my desk and my computer. Or when I go by the flower garden where you are buried. I can't believe this Christmas it will be 5 years since you went to the bridge. I've always loved Christmas, and still always will, but it's always a little sad, too, because we lost you just a few days before. I never expected you to die -- you were never diagnosed with anything terminal. I knew for sure the evening before that you were starting to go downhill again and I was going to have to call Dr. Armstrong in the morning. Selfish me was worried about him keeping you over Christmas -- you had been there so much that last year -- and instead I lost you forever. I am so sorry.
But, as any good parent, I learned from you, my "firstborn" too. And last fall I acted quicker and did better when George got sick. He still eventually joined you at the Bridge, and I am glad you two are together again. I miss you both everyday.

Sir Walter Raleigh
by Raleigh Trevelyan
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Okay biography with some good details making the myth more human.
What struck me most about the contents of Sir Walter Raleigh, a lengthy biography by Raleigh Trevelyan, was why a man so talented and so proactive in defending his country against all her enemies would have had his head chopped off for treason.
First observation: don't make powerful enemies. Raleigh was a brilliant, exciting, unique individual. He was very literate, knowledgeable in many subjects, quick-witted, courageous, and virile: simply put, superior to most men. His great mistake was that he flaunted his talents, was exceedingly ostentatious in his attire, and strived always to sway people to his way of thinking. Raleigh rose rapidly in Queen Elizabeth's court after the Queen became acquainted with him. Rarely allowing him to leave her sight, she bestowed upon him special economic privileges, heeded his advice as much as she did any councilor, and permitted him to select subordinates to implement his plan to establish an English outpost in North America. His enemies resented that he was not of noble birth. His disdain for them, exhibited especially by his dismissal of their malice, infuriated them. They circulated vicious stories about him. He was a liar, an opportunist, a thief, an atheist, a traitor.
Second observation: don't underestimate the scorn of a woman. Elizabeth bestowed her favoritism on several virile young men during her lengthy reign: Robert Dudley (the Earl of Leicester), during the early years; Sir Christopher Dutton during the late 1570s and early 1580s; Raleigh; and, finally, Robert Devereux (the Second Earl of Essex). Raleigh's downfall occurred after the Queen discovered that he had secretly married one of her maids of honor, whom he had impregnated. Elizabeth did not give her favorite courtiers permission to marry. Rarely did she permit a maid of honor to marry. Dudley had done so and been punished. Raleigh's punishment was worse: several months in the Tower of London in 1592 and, after his release, banishment from the Court for nearly five years, although Elizabeth did permit him to lead an expedition to Guiana in 1595 to search for gold. It wasn't until Raleigh's worst enemy, Essex, had fallen substantially out of favor that Elizabeth allowed Raleigh back to Court, in June 1597; and he remained more or less in the Queen's good graces up to her death March 24, 1603.
Third observation: a monarch's will trumps justice. As Elizabeth's death neared, Raleigh's enemies filled the ears of their future king with incessant lies. Raleigh was selfish, disloyal, an atheist, dangerous. Everything about Raleigh, James I disliked. Raleigh fell instantly out of favor. The economic privileges that he had received from Elizabeth were withdrawn. Raleigh's worst enemies were appointed to the Privy Council. James wanted above anything else a peace treaty with Spain. Because Spain hated Raleigh, he had to be eliminated. He was tried and conviction of treason before the end of 1603 for having consented to spy for Spain. He had been offered an annual pension of 1,500 pounds. (Unbeknownst to James at least two of his Privy Council advisors were receiving such pensions) Raleigh had refused the offer. The confederates of this treasonous act lied at Raleigh's trial. It didn't matter. He was sentenced to be hung, drawn, and quartered. James, fearing a public outcry, stayed the execution. He imprisoned Raleigh in the Tower, where he stayed for nearly 15 years.
Raleigh was released in 1617 on his promise to find and mine gold in Guiana. James, in serious debt, needed his treasury replenished. He warned Raleigh that he would execute him should Raleigh attack Spanish forces. (The desired peace treaty with Spain had been signed in 1604) Raleigh tried his best to avoid confrontation during his journey to Trinidad. An old man, he was too sick to journey up Guiana's Orinoco River. That task fell to a subordinate, who lacked good judgment. Raleigh warned the subordinate not to engage the one Spanish village on the river. Attacked by a small Spanish reconnaissance party, he and his ill-disciplined men retaliated, took the village, and burned it. Various false accusations were made against Raleigh at his trial. None carried sufficient weight to convict him, Raleigh's prosecutors concluded. But Raleigh had to be executed. The Spanish ambassador (James's very close friend) and King Philip III demanded it. And James wanted it. He needed the 500,000 pound dowry that Philip had promised him should his son Charles marry Spanish royalty. Consequently, James lifted his stay of execution. For the trumped up verdict of Raleigh having committed treason by agreeing in 1603 to receive a pension from Spain for spying, Raleigh was beheaded October 29, 1618.
Although tedious at times due mostly to the book's wealth of detail (which included many excerpts of Raleigh's poetry), I found this biography well worth reading.
Tended to be tedious. Not enough context.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 080507502X, Hardcover)
An enthralling new biography of the most exciting and charismatic adventurer in the history of the English-speaking world
Tall, dark, handsome, and damnably proud, Sir Walter Raleigh was one of history's most romantic characters. An explorer, soldier, courtier, pirate, and poet, Raleigh risked his life by trifling with the Virgin Queen's affections. To his enemies—and there were many—he was an arrogant liar and traitor, deserving of every one of his thirteen years in the Tower of London.
Regardless of means, his accomplishments are legion: he founded the first American colony, gave the Irish the potato, and defeated Spain. He was also a brilliant operator in the shark pool of Elizabethan court politics, until he married a court beauty, without Elizabeth's permission, and later challenged her capricious successor, James I.
Raleigh Trevelyan has traveled to each of the principal places where Raleigh adventured—Ireland, the Azores, Roanoke Islands, and the legendary El Dorado (Orinoco)—and uncovered new insights into Raleigh's extraordinary life. New information from the Spanish archives give a freshness and immediacy to this detailed and convincing portrait of one of the most compelling figures of the Elizabethan era.

"Dancing with the Stars" Holds Double Elimination- Find Out Who Went Home!
Kicking off the first results show of the season with a bang, "Dancing with the Stars" held a shocking double elimination on Monday night (March 24).
Aside from this evening's scores and dances, there were two other major announcements that got fans excited for the coming weeks! First up, it was revealed that fan-favorite and former pro Julianne Hough would be back to the dance floor in two weeks as a guest judge, while another twist in the show is set for the season.
A new feature called "The Switch Up," will allow viewers to send tweets to the show where they can mix up the dancing pros and celebrities. To take part, fans just need to send a tweet using the hastag #DWTS along with the first name of the celeb and the dancer they want paired together. Closing for the tweets ends on March 31 at 11:59 p.m., ET. The new matches will be announced live on air on April 7, where the new couples will take the dance floor for the first time.
So just which celebs won't make it to the switch up round? In a surprise elimination, Diana Nyad and Henry Byalikov were given the axe in the middle of the show after landing near the bottom of the leaderboard last week.
As for the last unlucky star, it was revealed at the end of the show that Sean Avery and his partner Karina Smirnoff will also be hanging up their dancing shoes. "I made a new friend in Karina. I made some money for charity," he said, and, "I got out of the cold winter of New York."
Check out all the scores below to see where your favorite celebrity ranked this week:
Charlie White and Sharna Burgess: 25/30

Gavin recently curated The Museum of Cruel Designs and Guerilla Island at Banksy's Dismaland show. Cruel Designs was an exhibition of design for social control, from police tazers and anti-homeless spikes to booby-trapped border fences. Guerilla Island comprised several spaces for activist-art and workshops. Before this he co-curated the exhibition Disobedient Objects at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, about objects of art and design produced by protest movements internationally since the late 1970s. It was the museum's most visited exhibition since 1946.
Gavin's research focuses on twentieth century art, specifically activist-art and institutional critique. He has published in Art History, the Oxford Art Journal and Third Text. In 2010 he co-wrote the pamphlet A User's Guide to Demanding the Impossible, which has been translated into a number of languages, and he is currently completing a book on the history of activist-art.
He has a particular interest not only in the particular histories of activist-art, but in new theoretical, methodological and curatorial approaches to social movement cultures which research and display with movements as well as on them. His PhD, completed at Manchester University under Prof. Terry Eagleton, comprised an intellectual history of political-aesthetic theories of revolution-as-festival, from dissident surrealist writers through to aspects of the 1990-2000s global justice movement.

Opening remarks
"I think you know me well enough that regardless of what took place the week before, it's over with me. The Monday night practice schedule we've had has been great for our team the last couple of years. It's over with them. This football team will re-focus and go after a win this week. Our focus will be playing better, and continuing to try and improve on both sides of the ball. Obviously taking care of the big problem we had on the punt team. There's lots of room for improvement on both sides.
"They've been averaging eight wins a year since 1978. They also do a good job stopping the run. It's been a big thorn in our offensive side as anything, and we need to do a better job with that. I think Furman is ranked No. 4. I have a great deal of respect for their coach. He took over for an outstanding football coach now at Vanderbilt. It's a good program. They're very disciplined. They've got some good players."
On Cam Sexton starting at QB this week -
"We want to give Cam this opportunity. There are some things that he did well last week. Joe Dailey will play. Every decision I make is trying to help us have an opportunity to win. We did not perform very well on first downs last week, that's not the quarterback's fault first, but we want to see if Cam can help us on first down.
"Cam is a competitor. He's is going to get better as he matures. He's a winner.
"I showed both QBs film of Ronald Curry and Darian Durant. ...tremendous poise; great football savvy. I think Cam has all of those.
"Joe still has an integral role on this team. He has great vision -- like Ronald Curry.
"I talked to them both last night, and I left it somewhat of open-ended as to who might start. This morning I made the decision to go ahead and start Cam."
On Frank Cignetti's perspective -
"I think his was very similar to mine. I think we're very grounded in our approach to what we're doing. We want to give this young man an opportunity to go out there and see if he can help us do some thing to help our offense improve its production."
On the psychology after an 0-2 start -
"There is no time to panic - it does nobody any good. I'm not that kind of guy anyway - never have been, never will be. I want to get us to focus on getting better. I want us to continue to learn how to play football. I've got a bunch of players that are pretty good. Once again, those two young receivers [Brooks Foster and Hakeem Nicks] that we were throwing a lot of accolades at last week didn't make as many plays mostly because we didn't get the ball to them.... There's a breakdown here and a breakdown there. It's not every play either. It's just every once in awhile. We break it down. Some plays we ran quite well. We got what we want.... We've got to take advantage of our scheme."
On the defensive and special teams miscues -
"Defensively, we need to get better than we were last week. We missed some tackles. We gave them some yards by missing tackles. We've got to become a better tackling team. We fit the plays better last week. That's important. But the blocked punt - inexcusable. Things we do 25 times a day in that protection scheme we didn't do on that blocked punt. Did not do. I have never seen a punt blocked with an outside twist, which is what they gave us. But it happened because we totally broke down. That's what we're talking about. We're talking about getting better. Focusing on getting better. Improving offensively, improving tackling on defense, and never getting off track with what we do in terms of protection for the punt."
On his view of the program -
"I'm not satisfied. [The fans] shouldn't be either. But I'm not discouraged. We're doing a great job recruiting. We're doing a great job with our character on this football team. We're doing a great job in terms of what we're doing academically - nobody under a 2.0 [grade point average] for the first time in the history of the football program as far as I know. Nobody under a 2.0. Those are great things. But we need to win. I understand that too. That's what [the fans] are dissatisfied with. They are dissatisfied we're 0-2 instead of being 1-1 or 2-0. That's real simple math this early in the season. Real simple math."

Designed with keeping in mind those people who work from homes, OfficePOD is a modular prefab office space (cubicle) that can be installed at anywhere in your garden. It is small (2.1m x 2.1m) and compact, yet exceeds all standard office accommodation regulations & requirements.
Inside, it sports innovative storage and desktop solutions while providing enough room for the user to work. Power requirements are achieved via a discrete and protected electrical connection to your home or garage. And, the internet and telephone connections can be established using wireless or wired communication.
Another important feature of the OfficePOD is the secure locking system of the highest quality. In addition, the entire office has been made of high quality material carefully chosen for their combination of visual, physical and environmental characteristics.
In order to make the cubicle environmentally sound, the manufacturer has taken care to choose recycled, recyclable and sustainable materials wherever possible. Besides the low impact nature of its construction, an independent study has shown that shifting to an OfficePOD has the potential of reducing CO2 emissions by between 46% & 67% compared to a traditional office occupation. Other eco-friendly features of this design includes low energy consumption level, high levels of insulation and innovative cooling system.

Obviously Turbo Memory is designed to work with Windows Vista and its Ready Boost feature, so you may be wondering why you would want this instead of just plugging a USB memory key in and enabling Ready Boost. Well there are a number of very good answers to that question.
1 - You don't need to have a USB key sticking out of the side of your notebook.
2 - Turbo Memory utilises the PCI Express interface, which is faster than the USB 2.0 interface.
3 - Turbo Memory will consume approximately one third the power of a USB based device.
4 - The user doesn't need to remember to insert a USB module to get the Ready Boost benefit.
5 - A USB key can not improve Windows boot times, since Vista will not store boot files on non-persistent memory. Turbo Memory on the other hand can improve Windows boot times by up to 20 per cent.
Intel showed me two identical notebooks, one with Turbo Memory and one without. Identical automated scripts were then run on both machines, with the Turbo Memory equipped machine finishing the script in literally half the time. Of course I always hold off judgement until I've tested hardware myself, but I have to say that I think Turbo Memory could be one of the best features of Santa Rosa, especially for a power user like me. If you regularly have to use Photoshop on a notebook to manipulate 8-megapixel images, you'll know that anything that can speed that process up is a blessing!
Unfortunately Windows Vista only allows one Ready Boost device to be used at a time, so you can't use Turbo Memory and a USB key simultaneously. Even more disappointing is that you won't be able to use Turbo Memory and one of the new hybrid hard disks that have recently been announced. Whether this situation will change with a Vista Service Pack remains to be seen, but hopefully Microsoft will see sense and allow multiple devices.
