AHMEDABAD, India (TrustLaw) – Nobody in Jigna Patel's family knows that she is a sex worker, dealing with clients on the street or selling her body in guest houses to earn money to pay for her two daughters' education.
The 35-year old HIV-positive sex worker says she has a minimum of three clients per day and earns about 6,000 rupees ($134) per month.
Her husband has no idea where the money is coming from - when Patel returns home at night she says it is coming from casual labour.
"It is not sure that I get a client every day but I stand there until nine o'clock every night," she told TrustLaw about her work in the streets of this sprawling industrial city of almost 4 million people in the western state of Gujarat.
Sex workers in Ahmedabad face the same problems as their colleagues all over India. Selling sex is not illegal but all related activities, such as soliciting or running a brothel, are punishable with fines or even imprisonment.
This legal paradox has effectively undermined sex workers' ability to seek legal protection and exposes them to arbitrary violence by clients, pimps and police, human rights campaigners say.
Sex workers say police mete out harassment and abuse regularly, with some of them having been forced into sex acts with police officers after they were arrested.
"Police arrest them from streets, guest houses and residential areas," said Lata Brahmbhatt, deputy director of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation AIDS Control Society, which provides health care services to sex workers. "Sometimes, police personnel also misbehave and engage in sexual activity with sex workers."
Even something as innocent as losing a train ticket can cause trouble for a sex worker, as a group of them found when they took a train to attend a workshop in the southern city of Bangalore last month.
When they returned, six of them had lost their train tickets and were arrested by police. Some of them were abused while in jail, according to campaigners.
The lack of a confined red-light district in Ahmedabad also contributes to safety concerns for sex workers, who are brought in by organised pimps from as far away as Kolkatta.
Geeta Ben entertains her clients at home twice a month when her son and his wife are away, a safer option for the 58-year-old than having to resort to working the streets or even having to resort to conducting business in makeshift tents, an easy target for violence and police raids.
To protect themselves, sex workers have founded Sakhi Jyot Sangathan (SJS), a self-help organisation of around 4,000 members.
The group runs workshops and helps sex workers access health care, which is often a problem because of stigma and discrimination. It also provides support in case of arrest.
"We conduct health awareness programmes for sex workers, which is important in helping to control AIDS," Ben told TrustLaw.
HIV prevalence in Gujarat is ranked as moderate with at 0.38 percent of the adult population being infected, compared to 0.3 percent for India and more than 1 percent in high-prevalence states such as Andhra Pradesh.
HIV infection rates have been declining due to awareness campaigns but men who buy sex are still the single most significant factor in the spread of the epidemic, according to UNAIDS.
For sex workers like Patel, who contracted HIV nine years ago when a client refused to use a condom, awareness workshops such as the ones conducted by SJS may have come too late.
But she now makes sure that every man who comes to her for business not only knows her status but also uses a condom.

What everyone else said. Remember that coffee can act as a diureticc depending on the type and amount of caffeine in it. Which can increase your urine output while the also burning extra calories. All this combined can dehydrate you. A couple cups in the morning then followed by lots of water during the day will probably solve your problem. Throw potassium in the mix and you are golden.

http://www.bullshido.net/forums/show...?t=2127&page=1 was a similar question that I asked many years ago. Bananas, water, and Fingermoon suggested suppliments cal/mag and zinc. I got some and after pumping pills, water, and bananas went to burn on leg presses at 310 3x reps, which for sure would have me cramping at 2AM like a jackknife. Worked.
So I got pills and when working out hard take 'em. Also a good diet helps. Potassium is in potato and sweet potato skins, magnesium is in fish, squash, beans and such. Lately at night if I'm feeling cramps I gobble Emergen-C electrolite fizzy drink powder, it works fast."Preparing mentally, the most important thing is, if you aren't doing it for the love of it, then don't do it." - Benny Urquidez
Like everyone else has already said, water and potassium, and be proactive. Hydration in particular should be an ongoing thing rather than a pre-training thing.
Also, I learned the hard way that the worst thing to do for a seized calf is to try to stretch it out by putting weight on it. Ouch.

You're not overdoing it. It's what you didn't do right 24-48 hours beforehand (a.k.a all the time) that caught up with you. Hydrate, you don't need to chug down Gatorade but do ensure you replace what your body loses through sweating.
SCREW the bananas. It's not potassium you're missing, it's Zinc and Magnesium. Trust me on this one.
I've had the calf cramps since I was a teen running long distance and training, get it so often at night, jolts you awake with pain and have to scoot down and shove my foot against the bedboard to alleviate the cramp."I'm reluctant to sound like a total fa66ot as well, but my background in sculpture gave me an edge in understanding how we're expected to move thru space." - The Other Other Serge

A controversial new program being launched by the Obama administration would shift some of the country's most poor and frail Medicaid beneficiaries into state-run private managed-care plans.
Eighteen states are asking to participate in the program, which will give them lump-sum payments to provide comprehensive benefits to patients who qualify for both the Medicare and Medicaid programs, the so-called "dual eligibles." Only Massachusetts's proposal has been approved so far. Roll over the states to reveal who they would like to enroll in the program (charts appear below the map).

Full detailed profile on Shawn Douglas Brady Played by Brandon Beemer on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Brandon Beemer (NBC)
Birthday: February 27 1980
Shawn, Belle and Claire arrive at Bo's room. Claire is happy to be home where it's warm, she says in her little girl voice. She gives Bo a huge bear hug and Bo comments that this is the medicine he needs! Caroline shows up and Belle takes Claire out of the room while Bo explains how Pop died because of him. Shawn tells her, "Grandpa died so his family could live." Caroline asks Bo not to feel guilty for what happened. She knows he'd sacrifice his life for his father and his children as well. Shawn adds that he too would do what Pop did and Caroline wants Bo to look at it as a gift. Bo worries it was all in vain as he could be dying. Lexi interrupts and tells them that it was not in vain. She won't let him die. She ushers the lot of them out and Caroline berates Bo for apologizing for Pop's death. She is proud of Shawn for what he did. Caroline tells Bo that after he found out that Bo was Victor's son, he loved him all the more. Bo didn't see any change in him but Caroline says he was mad at her. "Irish mad," she says with a grin and they reminisce about old times. Caroline says that Shawn told her that his job was to be a good father no matter what. Bo breaks down and Caroline holds him close as he sobs.
Later, after Caroline leaves, Bo asks Lexi to be honest with him about everything. She agrees to do so and tells him they've narrowed things down. Nurse Maxine wheels Bo out for more tests.
At the hospital, Lexi tells the family the ambulances are on the way with their family. Sami and EJ arrive at the same time Shawn, Claire and Belle arrive at the hospital. Caroline hugs them all and Lexi tells them she wants them all examined. Stephanie, Max and Chelsea await the rest of the family and when they wheel in the dead pilots with sheets over their faces, Roman and Caroline's faces fall. The rest of the family moves in closer, pained expressions on their faces and Lexi has Claire taken off by a nurse for a snack. Philip and Chloe arrive and Victor and Kate rush to Philip to hug him. Philip tells them what happened to his leg while Shawn tells Roman what happened to the pilots. Chelsea and Stephanie comment how happy they are that their grandpa got to see his sister before she died. Caroline thinks she and Shawn should get away for a while. Shawn and Belle look to each other and Shawn is about to tell Caroline the truth when John and Marlena arrive. Sami rushes to her and Marlena tells Sami that it's thanks to John and Steve that they're alive. Marlena goes to Caroline, who happily explains how when Shawn gets there, they'll go for breakfast at the pub. Kayla runs into the hospital and into Stephanie's awaiting arms. Steph worries about Steve, who is wheeled in on a gurney but she relaxes when she is told he has cracked ribs and will be fine. Kayla tells Caroline," I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry…" Caroline asks why everyone keeps saying that and when she sees Bo being wheeled in on a gurney, she cries, "Oh Bo!" She asks, "Is this what you didn't want me to know?" Bo is wheeled away and Kayla is told by Steve to get examined. Hope holds Caroline tight and tells Kayla that it's okay for her to go. Caroline asks Hope what's wrong with Bo and she explains he's sick but they don't know what's wrong with him yet. Lexi explains about the abnormalities that showed up in his blood before he went to Ireland and she promises to start more testing. Hope looks to Marlena for guidance and Marlena tells Caroline that it's too soon to tell what's wrong with Bo. Shawn tells Caroline that there is something else she needs to know. Marlena tries to tell her about Shawn but Caroline wanders off, in search for her husband. She turns abruptly toward the family and asks why he hasn't gotten off the plane yet. Grandpa Shawn's body is wheeled in on a gurney and Caroline gasps and walks towards it. Roman puts his arm around her and in shock, they move closer to the gurney. Sami, Chelsea, Max and Stephanie stare in shock as Caroline calls out, "Oh no," as she realizes he is no longer with them. Roman asks Shawn what happened and Philip blurts out that he died a hero. Max goes to a weeping Roman and listens as Shawn tells them that his parents and Kayla were there. He stops, worried about it being too painful, but is asked to go on. He tells them about how they only had enough oxygen for a few and says Shawn refused the oxygen in order to save his family's life. Caroline wants to see him but Roman sobs that he doesn't think she should. Finally, he agrees and Lexi lifts the sheet. Sami sobs as EJ holds her and Shawn, Victor, Caroline and the family watch motionless.
At the nurses' station, Marlena gives Sami her condolences and she turns to EJ to ask if he thinks Stefano's organization had something to do with it. EJ says he has no idea but if it's true, he'll find out. Marlena believes him and gives him very high marks with her for breaking away from his family. EJ asks Sami to get some food and they go off to eat while Lexi returns and asks for Belle, Shawn and Claire to get examined. After they're gone, Victor stops Chloe and asks what she knows about her grandson's disappearance. Chloe denies knowing anything and when Victor accuses her of lying, she stomps off. Philip believes her but Victor tells them that none of his contacts have found Brady. He feels someone is holding him somewhere.
Victor arrives at Bo's bedside and apologizes for his loss. "He was a very special man." Bo agrees. He couldn't have asked for a better father. Victor agrees, he was a lucky man and wants him to know Caroline's in good hands. He's there if he needs anything. Victor takes Bo's hand and tells him he'll pay for any specialist and any procedures that will make him well. Bo is thankful. He is wheeled off for more tests.
Chloe, Philip, Belle and Shawn are finished being examined. Philip has ordered his new titanium leg, he's happy to report. Belle and Shawn leave and Kate comes to collect Philip, who asks Chloe to come home with him. She doesn't want to but Philip urges her not to be alone, so she agrees to it, much to Kate's chagrin. They go, leaving Kate alone.
Marlena finishes examining John and Sami and EJ arrive from the cafeteria. John wanders off and Sami wants to hear the rest of the story from Marlena about what happened in Ireland. Marlena says she'd be happy to explain it at some point. EJ goes off to get the car and Marlena comments how they're getting along well. Sami says EJ has been really good with the twins and asks John and Marlena if they need a ride somewhere. Marlena wants John to come home with her but he wants to go to the DiMera mansion. "I have every right to live there," John says, leaving Sami confused. Marlena tells Sami she'll explain later and goes off to get the car.
Belle and Shawn lie awake in their tent and Shawn asks, "Were you warm last night?" Belle grins that she was. "It got pretty hot, didn't it?" Shawn continues. Belle smiles and he tells her they need to work on being cold a little more often. Belle again apologizes to him for hurting him by sleeping with Philip and Shawn says he loves her. He was confused and angry but says he never stopped loving her. "We're a family and we're meant to be a family." He hopes they can have another baby and Belle cries that it would be wonderful! They make love and Belle thinks that searching for Colleen, finding Claire and getting into a crash has brought them closer. Belle thinks she has learned a lot about them and finds family the most important thing. She wants to spend her life with Shawn as long as he can forgive her. Shawn jokes that if she keeps doing what she was doing last night, they can work something out! Belle laughs and they resume kissing.
In their tent, Philip wakes up and tells Chloe she looks pretty. Chloe laughs in surprise and tells him she just went through a plane crash. He still thinks she looks great and asks her if it was weird for her, sleeping with him naked. She says it wasn't and calls him an incredible man. She mentions that they should put their clothes back on but neither does. They discuss how they wished they'd taken their kissing further but Philip says he couldn't because she's married and he made that mistake with an engaged woman already! He didn't want to do anything they'd regret later. Chloe agrees and says she doesn't need to add to the long list of regrets she has. Chloe thanks Philip for being there for her last night and being a good friend. Philip smiles and says he's there for her. She awkwardly asks, "This stays in Greenland?" Phil agrees.
Back at the wreckage, Shawn, Belle and Marlena arrive at Bo and Hope's side. Marlena urges Hope to rest but she refuses. Steve and Kayla arrive and Marlena berates Steve for walking around with cracked ribs. Steve doesn't listen and Marlena takes Kayla aside and asks her how she is. Kayla says she is spotting and cramping but hasn't admitted this to Steve, who thinks it stopped last night. Marlena gets her off her feet and asks to look at the gash on her face. Shawn asks if Bo will get better and Marlena admits he's not doing well. Steve reassures Shawn that they'll be rescued and Philip and Chloe arrive at their side and tell them they will be rescued. John arrives bearing food and Philip tells Hope he's positive they will be rescued. Nearby, John tells Shawn he's sorry to hear about his grandfather. "He was your grandfather, right?" John asks. Shawn says he was and thanks him. They hear a helicopter, so John shoots off another flare and the survivors all jump up and down and yell and cheer in happiness as the helicopter comes closer to them.
At the site of the wreckage, John sets off another flare while Hope explains again to a confused Bo that Pop's dead. Belle offers to go help the others and John jokes to Claire that if they're there much longer, they'll have to build an igloo.
As Kayla struggles with the cramping, Chloe comes by and offers to get Marlena while Philip gets his prosthetic leg back on. Philip gives Kayla a blanket and Shawn and John pick up Steve and gently move him inside a part of the plane, where Marlena examines him and agrees with Kayla's diagnosis that Steve has punctured a lung. She tells them Bo's resting comfortably now.
Shawn apologizes to Belle for openly weeping for Grandpa Shawn. Belle understands and they discuss how the Brady Pub will never be the same. Shawn remembers how his grandfather loved to have his family and friends around on St. Patty's Day. Belle tells him what matters now is that he has these wonderful memories. Inside a tent nearby, Chloe and Philip discuss Brady's disappearance. Claire wants to stay outside with her grandpa Bo, so Hope takes her and tells Belle they could use the company tonight. Belle tells Hope she's a strong woman and admires her. Hope replies that she too is a strong woman as well. She just doesn't know it yet!
Marlena finds John and tells him she doesn't think anyone should be alone at night as it's not safe. He tells her he can keep her warm if that's what she is really asking and she hesitates in surprise and asks if he can help stay watch. He says he plans on getting a good night sleep! This startles Marlena, who wonders how he could sleep after a day like today. Claire runs to John and kisses his cheek and says, "Goodnight, poppa!" John asks her to call him John. She does so and hugs Marlena goodnight. Marlena comments how good John is with Claire. "She's a kid. What's not to like?" he asks, rhetorically as he goes into a tent to sleep. Marlena finds Hope and Bo and asks Hope to get some sleep, but Hope can't! Marlena knows Bo will make it through the night and asks Hope not to worry. Later, Hope tells a sleeping Bo he has made a lot of promises. One was to grow old together and she expects him to come through for her! Bo wakes up later and tells Hope about a dream he just had about fishing with Pop. He weeps as he tells Hope Pop was a good father and he'll miss him. Hope says he was a good son and asks him to promise never to keep the truth from her. He promises and they kiss.
Nearby, Steve asks Kayla if they're really going to have a baby and she smiles, "Yes we are!" Marlena pops by and asks how they are. "Never better," Steve says with a grin. Marlena smiles and is glad that he is feeling more like his old self. Steve asks if Marlena can examine Kayla, who has been cramping.
In a tent, Shawn tells Belle maybe they'll wake up tomorrow and it'll all be a dream! She grins and they agree they're happy to be trying again with one another. In another tent nearby, Marlena gets under John's blanket. He moves closer and says they need to stay close for warmth, but when he makes a move on her, she flinches and yells at him. Her shoulder starts giving her pain and he asks to look at it. She reluctantly agrees and takes off her jacket and shirt as John watches, licking his lips! He helps undo her buttons and she grabs his face and kisses him. He responds and they lie down, kissing, passionately!
Nearby, Steve assures Kayla someone will find them. It'll be light soon and will be warmer! They laugh that Stephanie will be a good big sister and a built in babysitter! He's happy that this time he will be able to be there for everything he wasn't when Stephanie was growing up. They kiss.
In their tent, Chloe snuggles Philip but he pushes her away and she assumes that he'd rather have Belle there. He tells her while Belle will always be a part of his life, she's chosen Shawn and he's moving on. He invites her to snuggle him and he tells her they need to prevent hypothermia by removing their clothes. Once they've done so, they start kissing. In their own tent, Belle tells Shawn she doesn't want to end up alone like Colleen, without her family. They start kissing and they make love.

6 Things Missing From The Budget Agreement
By Frank James
Originally published on Wed December 11, 2013 1:46 pm
The essence of the budget deal reached by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Rep Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is better understood by looking at what's missing, rather than what's included in it.
The agreement by the budget committee chairmen is no grand bargain. It's more like a minibargain. And all the missing elements are absent precisely because the yawning ideological rift between Washington Democrats and Republicans made it impossible to include those items and still have the votes to get to "yes" and avoid a government shutdown in mid-January.
In short, it's the really hard stuff that didn't make it into the agreement.
So what's missing? Plenty. Here are some of the holes:
- Unemployment insurance extension — Democrats had wanted an extension of unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed in the deal. But Republicans resisted. So an extension isn't in the deal. Democrats hope one can be negotiated outside the Murray-Ryan minibargain. This is the season for hope, after all, though it all probably feels like a lump of coal in the the stocking if you're one of those long-term unemployed.
- Taxes — Republicans were adamant that any deal couldn't raise revenue through new taxes, so there are none. Instead, the deal raises money to offset reduced sequester cuts through new or higher fees. For instance, the deal essentially raises the maximum aviation security fee a passenger pays for a one-way flight to $5.60 from $5. So flying just got a little more expensive.
- Tax extenders — There are more than 60 tax provisions set to expire on Dec. 31, largely business tax breaks, according to the Tax Policy Center's TaxVox blog. Congress has routinely extended these in the past but the Murray-Ryan budget deal is silent on them. That's another area where the budget negotiators kicked the can down the road.
- Entitlement reform — Republicans, mainly, had sought something in the deal to slow the increasing pressure on federal spending from the rising costs of Medicare and Social Security caused by all those aging baby boomers. That's a nonstarter for many Democrats, so long as Republicans refuse to consider higher taxes on the wealthiest and corporations.
- Postal savings — Some budget experts saw the Murray-Ryan negotiations as a good chance for Congress to achieve savings through more austerity for the Postal Service, such as ending Saturday delivery. But such actions have proved unpopular with many voters, so the Murray-Ryan budget negotiators avoided that hornet's nest altogether.
- Doc fix — When negotiations started, health care providers were among those hoping that the Murray-Ryan budget negotiators would solve the perennial threat that Medicare will slash its reimbursements to physicians. That would be the "doc fix" you hear so much about in Washington. Alas, the deal contains no doc fix. That will have to come from elsewhere in Congress.

Lawrence University's 17th annual Midwest Trivia Contest now history
The Appleton Post-Crescent, January 30, 1982.
During 50 hours last weekend, 384 questions were asked on Lawrence University's radio station WLFM in what is believed to be the longest running and largest trivia contest in the country in terms of participation.
WLFM's computer registered 124 off-campus teams and 50 teams on the Lawrence campus. Questions are asked at intervals of about three minutes, and the teams are given time to answer by telephone. Point values range from 5 to 100.
The top five off-campus teams and their point totals, of a possible 3,710, were Toys in the Attic, 1,735; Camellia Chips, 1,655; Fox Off, 1.480; Infomaniacs, 1,420; and Merlin's Magical Mystical Machine, 1,280.
The top five on-campus teams were the 14th Street Bridge Club, 1,810; Happy Joe's Syzygy, 1,705; Air Potomac, 1,630; Sammy's Pizza Network and Unicorn Puka Puka, 1,375.
As usual, the trivia contest prizes were as useful as the information asked for in the contest. The first place winners received a milk pail full of inflated balloons, second prizes were traps for catching mice alive, and the third prizes were two nursing bottles for calves.
The winning off-campus team, Toys in the Attic, is composed mostly of public school teachers and teacher aides. According to Dennis Meredith, a Spanish teacher at Appleton High School West, the secret to their success is organization. Team members have indexed information in the book "Super Trivia", which does not have an index, and have also indexed a book called "First Facts." "We have many, many other reference materials," Meredith said. "Everything is organized, and everything is in its place, the key is indexing." The team, which plays in the attic of a house near Appleton's City Park, has two telephones equipped with speed dialing and a third phone that is kept open, "When team members go home for rest," Meredith explained, "they keep their radios on. If they know the answer to a questions, they call us."
Meredith said his team made calls for trivia contest answers to London, England, Van Nuys, California, and to the White House in Washington, D.C. "We all share in the cost," he said. The team was joined this year by two former Appleton residents, Roberta Burkhardt, who lives near Allentown, PA., and her daughter, Jodi Burkhardt, of Hartford, Conn.
Meridith said that team members, about 30 of them, get together at least four times during the year for social occasions and to compare trivia notes. Toys in the Attic tried to reach No. 10 Downing Street in London, home of the British Prime Minister, the answer to the final questions. They could find no number for it in the London phone book, Meredith said.
Now, for the first question of next year's contest. British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher graduated in 1934 from Huntingtower Road Primary School in Grantham, England. For 100 trivia points, what are the names of the two girls who sat on either side of her in her graduation picture?
The answers: Barbara Bools and Kathleen Howard.

Great ChoiceAs reviewed by Zeroa2572 on 1/19/2010
Amazing picks. I've been using them for about three years and I have tried other picks, but I'm stuck on these. They feel great and last a few weeks. After that they do wear out and break. But it's just a piece of plastic, if you want a pick to last long go buy a metal pick and have fun tearing your strings to shreds. You get plenty of these picks for low cost and they feel great when they hit the strings. Hope this helps!11 of 11 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?Thank You for rating this review!
Best Picks EverAs reviewed by Gabriel Collier on 10/24/2010
Alright I know that it's sad that I'm writing a review for a pick but I just wanted to say this. These are amazing. They're so much better than any expensive brand of picks that say they work better and make you play faster. I don't recommend these for playing acoustic but I do recomend them for anyone that shreds or plays solos.8 of 8 people found this review helpful.Was this review helpful?Thank You for rating this review!

Experience that we will remember for a long time!
It was our anniversary and we wanted to go somewhere 'fancy' for dinner.. After a fair bit of researching online, zeroed in on this one, with a little bit of apprehension since, to be honest, we knew it would cost us a bomb and we wanted it to be perfect.. On entering the place I was a tad disappointed since I was expecting a larger seating area with a greater possibility of having that secluded table for ourselves. But instead, we were presented with one which was not so secluded. However, the saving grace was that, despite being a Saturday evening, the place had less than 3 tables occupied which gave us ample privacy. F&B : Being our anniversary, the attendant brought us 2 small glasses of champagne and the yummiest chocolate truffle cake at the end (he even offered to pack the leftovers!!), which was really nice, and yet again stood testimony to Taj hospitality! The bread basket (really yum Focaccia ) with the range of dips were just out of the world. The fig and lettuce salad with sherry vinegar dressing was a huge hit. The tempura was good! The main course, Gnocci, which we decided to split, was good but somehow did not appeal much to me,though by this time I was pretty filled with all the starters, salad and wine. The hubby savored every piece of it, though. We also ordered a side of mashed potatoes (we were told it was a must try), which was the richest I ve ever tasted! The after dinner specialty- choc. truffles (think it was cognac-filled) was a cute surprise! Special mention of Raja, the host for the evening, who recommended the wine, which was absolutely spectacular and did nt make a hole in our pockets! He took it upon himself to ensure that our evening went well and it was an occasion we'll cherish for a long long time! AND, the bill came to around 5 grand, which was fine considering it came with all the anniversary goodies! :))

Graze and Guzzle with Glamour
Consistently voted amongst Bangalore's best European-cuisine serving restaurants, Graze in Taj Vivanta had captured my curiosity many moons ago. In order to suit the schedule for my visit, I made the stars propitiously align on one burning summer afternoon.Soon transiting through M.G Road I finally entered the portals of this hotel with the intention of checking whether these 5-star-wallahs were living up to their rarefied reputation.
In this age of do-it-yourself luxury, Taj Vivanta did not even have a doorman to open its portals. Before this self-service, I had to pass through metal detectors ,past nonchalant securitymen. Screening out terrorists but forgetting hospitality?
But once inside, the cool elegant beauty of a spacious lobby and various inviting passage-ways exerted their appeal. Into the restaurant now..
Ambience: Top-class ,sporting a sophisticated glow and glint. Lighted glass screens of red and white are suspended from the ceiling while walls have elegant hues of dappled slate and dark scarlet.Two amply stocked wine cabinets flank a long beautifully set table in the center of the restaurant,while the kitchen front is visible from the other side of the seating space. Table-top arrangements should have been more deluxe.
You will not find the all-out royal magnificence of the Palace of Versailles, but you will discover a modern stylishly plush space that a king might not mind relaxing in. One of Bangalore's best "Conti" designs.
Service- is easily amongst the finest that I have ever received in India. To give the full picture, I have to add that I was the only guest in the restaurant interior from 1 pm to 2-50 pm- the duration of my meal .A single table of diners sat outside by the pool. Imagine a luxury restaurant where you are the only patron and the waiter stands by ready to cater to your every whim! All the staff I saw that day in Graze were young men. The manager was Mr.Ashvin Singh -a dapper gentleman who engaged me in conversation, even presented a dish to my table while incidentally revealing his good knowledge about the menu at the behest of a casual enquiry, and who sought to dilute my intense solitude by offering a newspaper. Chef Uday Nathan was introduced to me ,and he came across as an earnest professional.My steward for the afternoon was Subba Reddy- a young man who performed his duty with polish,tact and vigilance. He was pleasantly assiduous in enquiring whether I was satisfied with my meal.The glass of water was re-filled with clock-work regularity while cutlery was duly replenished from a ceremoniously carried wooden tray.Summoning glances were promptly responded to,and sometimes I had to purposely not look in his direction so as to not unnecessarily bring him to the table. After the delivery of each course except for the dessert,he would return with a salt and pepper grinder and each time I would decline the use of this extra seasoning. Cavil-caveat: While the wait staff have a reasonably good fund of knowledge apropos the dishes' ingredients, this knowledge is not exact- since my 4 course meal cost Rs.3590 and not Rs.6000 or more,I will forgive this minor shortcoming.
Menu (with prices in brackets)- Graze's compendium is concise and appealing. Starters include Torchon de Foie Gras (900), and Confit de Canard with Milanese polenta (700). Soups have familiar varieties like lobster bisque (500).In the mains, Tenderloin and Lamb (1850) share prime space with Monkfish and Halibut (approx 850). Desserts have options like Lemon Tart Brulee with Vanilla et Champagne Sabayon (500) .Vegetarians can choose from dishes like "blanquette of vegetables", soups ,salads and Italian persuasions like Risotto, Tortellini and Gnocchi.
Grazing on complimentary bread offered with aioli and moong, I noted that they also offered a 3 course tasting menu (2600) and the 5 course version (4000) -these last two rates include tax
Entree - Thin-cut petite medallions of lobster, five stacked dominoes of them, could all be stuffed into a child's mouth in one go- but to be fair to this entree's quality, that child would have also enjoyed an eye-bulgingly good time masticating and swallowing these deliciously succulent slices bathed in the buttery goodness of truffled sauce. Tiny black orbs which initially appeared seemed to be mustard seeds often seen in Indian dishes, turned out to be Tobiko caviar that afforded scintillas of salty tang. The salad was regulation foliage whose dressing was in no danger of igniting revelatory pleasure.
1st main course- The chicken breast's refulgent orange exterior was crisp and distinct,but I was not enamoured by what lay beneath. When availing of the pleasures of the flesh, loss of tenderness is always a tragedy. Compact white cylinders of roasted salsify acted as nominally interesting side-kicks.Sauteed spinach and assorted vegetables registered no show-stealing cameos but the best performance issued from a finely balanced sauce coaxed out from morel mushrooms,white wine and sweet secrets.
Complimentary Palate Cleanser- A Cognac and Tamarind Sorbet was prosaically effective in achieving its function,and tasted like the faintly amusing "lemon-lime-'n'-bitters" ice candy sold in overseas countries.
John Dory -This variety of fish, comparable in mouthfeel to the Indian Lady-fish or Nagli, was velvety soft .'Twas accesorized with "Neeps & Tatties"- a delectably docile accompaniment of potatoes-'n'-turnips mashed and roasted with butter,salt and chives. The artichoke in the Barigoule could not rise above being an astringent,chewy side-player. Garlic foam or any culinary foam for that matter,may be a good new-age technical stunt but it always runs the risk of visual ridicule, and my family launched into an assortment of unsavoury jokes upon seeing this concoction. Overall, Yes this was an excellently rendered fish & mash with a satisfying sauce, but fine-dining fiends expect more- a dazzling dance of flavours or a textural three-ring circus neither of which were in evidence in this largely classicist dish.
Dark chocolate souffle with homemade Vanilla ice-cream- A quenelle of the latter complete with the powdered original product at the base,was strongly redolent of the perfumed bean's essence but 'twas too sweet for its own good. The flavour of the former lacked intense seduction,and was further compromized by an element of stodginess. The presence of both these on the same spoon,however, created a interesting hot-cold double wave of sweetness. This dish was was twice mentioned by the waiter as one of their best desserts -a remark which has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Cognac-Chocolate petit fours: 2 small cocoa-covered balls packed a solid hit of cognac and strong chocolate, thus affording the rich satisfaction missing in the previous heftier sweet.
Tariffs- Highly expensive, going by Bangalore standards. A meal for two people may be placed at an average cost, inclusive of 17% tax but not drinks,of Rs.6000. And Yes I found value-for-money here. Some points of comparison- My main course here cost more than a fine 3 course menu's all-inclusive rate charged a year ago in the highly rated Via Milano in Koramangala. My 4 course meal in Graze was a steeper bill as compared to the 12 course affair I experienced three months ago in the top-rated Caperberry. And finally to put things in international perspective, in certain 3 Michelin star establishments it is not rare to find a single main course offered at Rs.5000
I concede that having consumed only 4 dishes (& 2 complimentary mini-ones) my assessment of this restaurant is not yet complete. But as synecdoches go,my meal was neither gloriously auspicious nor tantalizingly indicative of the overall treasure. I wanted to depart gratified, but actually only left satisfied.There remained an enticing range of dishes that solicited my partaking. Graze's setting and service aid and abet my intention to do so in the future.

Fantabulous - The only word that struck the 4 of us when we started our dinner at Graze. Greeted by a warm Maitre de we were given a cozy corner - surprising thing is that we got it without any reservation. We started with a buffalo mozarella cheese dish to start with and before that got to our table, had an endless array of baskets of warm bread. We at that moment knew, food is gonna be extra super in taste as the bread that was served was warm and just melted in our mouth. Starters on we ordered our main course - gnocchi with asparagus, spaghetti and a chicken dish. Food was heavenly and again we were experiencing foodgasm :)
Where Taj differs hugely from it's other competitors - care. When one of us ordered for a lychee panna cotta, the person incharge of our table came back after consulting the chef to inform us that the dish has gone bad and if we would care to order another one in it's place. So we did, coupel of white & dark chocolate mix and a strawberry dessert. When we were waiting for this, we were given cognac filled and dark coffee powder coated chocolates as an after dinner thing before we dig onto our dessert. It tasted absolutely great as the rest of the meal.
Worth all the money you spend on good food. Will definitely be here again

Wah Taj !
We had gone to Graze @Taj M.G Road for anniversary and the experience was awesome. They initially had asked us abot the occasion and had told us that they will make the evening special and they lived up to the promise.
As soon as we went, they made us comfortable and wished us. After we had ordered our food, they got us complimentary bread with sauce about which I had read in many reviews. Soon, they got us apple and raspberry juice. We were delighted. After that also, they kept giving us some small delicious items to eat.
I was almost full by the time I finished all this.
After this came our food which we had ordered. We took 1 prawn dish which was the best prawns I have ever had. 1 spring chicken which was also awesome.
In main course we had ordered 2 pastas on chef's recommendation. That was also great in taste.
In between, the steward kept asking if we need to refill our juice or we need any more items which was already serverd.
After finishing all, we had no room for dessert. Soon, the steward came with a beautiful chocolate truffle cake with happy anniversary written on it.
He apologized about bringing it in the end as they had made it fresh and thus it took time. The cake came as a surprise and that too was delicious.
We cut the cake and packed the rest for take away.
They really made our day by treating us with so much extra care and in the end we were happy at our decision to have come there.
We were expecting a huge bill with all the extra items and the cake. But to our surprize, they had charged us only for the items we had ordered.
All other extra items plus the cake was complimentary!
All I can say is the evening was great and I would love to go there again.
good food, properly served
We had plans to go to Ice, but wanted to eat first so made an unplanned trip to Graze (it's in the same hotel) - not really knowing what to expect.
The setting is average but comfortable, with an open kitchen and wine cellar on display. The first thing that I was pleasantly surprised by was the wine list. Not only was there a very wide selection, but there was also a suitably broad price range - I've often been caught out by very high prices for imported wine in India. We selected a St Emilion Bordeaux at Rs3200, pricey but a good drop.
There was also a good choice of food, also at fairly average hotel restaurant prices. There are also 3 and 5 course tasting menus available, with or without wine. We opted for the 5 course without wine - reason being, each course was served with only a 90ml glass of wine, which is not enough.
I was a little surprised by the foie gras, which was served as a whole liver rather than as a pate. Extremely tasty but rather odd texture. Another highlight was the tenderloin steak, although it was served with a cut of veal which was best left alone - it was more like stewing steak!
Overall I would say that the menu we chose was good value, and something a bit different - the restaurant is definitely worth trying out.

Just another overpriced, average meal in a hotel
When a friend recommended Graze to me I trusted her judgment, even though I'm not a big fan of dining at overpriced, westernized hotel restaurants.
The only reason I am glad that I went was to solidify my belief that hotel restaurants are not worth going to.
When we looked at the menu the prices leaped off the page. A first course for Rs. 600, a second course for Rs. 700, and a main entree from Rs. 900-1700. Ridiculous! Especially after we ordered, 1 starter to share and the waiter warned us it would be very small. And it was, the servings were miniscule! I was so hungry I ate 4 pieces of bread- at least they didn't scrimp on the bread basket but sadly, the bread, like the rest of our meal, quail, scallops, and monkfish, were average to below average in taste.
The real shocker came when we got the bill and a bottle of water was Rs. 220. Seriously! The mojito was 375 which was on par with other restaurants but I couldn't believe a bottle of water was 7x the price that I could buy for myself. Outrageous. Who ever came up with the pricing/marketing at Graze is clearly an amateur and simply added Rs. 200 to the cost of everything on the menu.
Don't go to Graze- the food is not worth it! Try one of the many other wonderful restaurants in Bangalore instead!
Excellent Food and Excellent service
I love this place. I don't care for the decor. I think it could have been better, but who cares as people say here. I love the food here. Everything I have eaten here is great. The Lobster salad is par excellece. The roe sprinkled libereally. I am a pizza fan and I rate the pizza here even better than the Via Milano Pizza. Excellent!!! As I said earlier everything I have tasted here has been excellent.
The service too is very personal. I feel it is value for money. I would rate this as one of my best food places in Bangalore, along with Bistro Claytopia, as different as they seem... Odd.

Ooohhhh real sirloin.....
Probably the best thing about Bangalore for us is the choice of restaurants, we've had some wonderful meals here and are looking forward to having more, but just sometimes, as a Western ex-pat, you get a hankering for a nice bit of rib-eye or sirloin, and an identifiable pudding. So when we heard of a restaurant that didn't entail travelling right across town for, we couldn't wait to try it.
We were not disappointed. This place reminds you of some of your favourite 'posh' restaurants back home, from the excellent menu full of steaks, lobster and seafood, down to the big wine cooler in the middle of the room, we loved it. I had my first sirloin since arriving here, perfectly cooked and served with excellent mash (I could have eaten a plate of that on its own), and crisp fresh veggies. The grilled prawns were lightly seasoned and came with a good salad, though my husband envied the steak I was served so didn't comment much further on these. We had a lovely bottle of wine - not cheap, but wine never is here, and a wonderful honey panacotta for pudding. Service was excellent too.
I appreciate that this sort of restaurant isn't to everyone's taste, catering fairly exclusively to the Western palate, but in a city with so many other restaurants to chose from I'm sure there's room for at least one that's this good...
"Graze"-ing is acquired taste
After all, we aren't cows! Lame jokes apart, Graze is the new address in Bangalore for "dining on the lighter side of European cuisine".
We are somewhat resentful of the place, because it replaced our favorite bar in town - Jockey Club in Taj Residency. Graze is a minimalist and smaller place - not as spacious and plush like good old Jockey Club. When we got there, it was full - a considerable number of them were foreigners - maybe folks staying at the hotel.
Anyway, we were shown in and asked to occupy an extremely cramped table. By then, we found ourselves seating at the dining bar facing the bustling open kitchen.
We were the only people at the bar counter. That pretty much set us up for the evening and we had a great time looking at the chef and his staff create some extremely good looking dishes.
As for eating them, well - thats a different story. For me at least.
Basically this meant that I couldn't enjoy the foie gras and some shell fish based appetizers at all.
The main course was better. I safely ordered roast spring chicken that was done a tad too dry. My friend had some excellent lamb chops. The dessert - more than anything was stunningly pretty. I had a chocolate mud cake with 'crème Anglais'.
The service was brisk and non-intrusive.
Through out, we had a great time watching the kitchen staff at work. Especially the 'make up man' - I think called the Expediter or Announcer, who finished the dishes. He was a delight to watch - working away diligently at the most sparkling and spotless table of the kitchen.
When we were done eating, we had the Chef saunter across to where we were sitting asking us how we liked the meal. I told him about how the chicken was dry and he said, "Yes madam, I too like my chicken juicy and tender but our Indian guests keep asking for it to be sent back to be over done. Also because of my fear about Chikungunya, bird flu etc, I have instructed for the chicken to be well done. Next time you come by, I will take care to have it made to your liking".
!! Fears of Chikungunya after a Rs 4500/- meal and veiled racist comments about Indian dining preferences!
The conversation actually went on to the foie gras and the chef remarked about what an exotic delicacy it is, how it is his personal favorite and that I didnt have "the tongue for it" - meaning taste for overfed goose liver.
You know, I wish waiters and chefs didn't indulge in small talk - at least with me!
Well, Graze is a smart looking place and expensive. The service and ambience has the usual quality of a star hotel.
As for the taste, I would like to reserve my judgment. I didn't enjoy the meal as much as I expected to.
Who knows? Like the chef said, may be I don't have 'the tongue' for it. Or maybe, we just miss our good old Jockey Club - a place where many an evening was deliriously well spent.
Then again, we eat out a lot and maybe we are right.

'I wish I had found your course before the hypnosis course I did'
Linda East Sussex 2012 – after attending an advanced CPD course with us
The next Professional Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy starts October 2015 and finishes July 2016

- We teach what you need to know to be an effective therapist capable of dealing with human suffering at many levels. You will quickly get people back on track and experiencing lasting beneficial change. We do not teach lots of historical theory and dated principles that can clutter the road to healing.

We believe that all learning should be great fun. And although you have to put the effort in, we have a wealth of experience in getting the skills across in an easy to absorb and enjoyable way.

Listen to our course director Jill Wootton and one of our 2013 students explain why you need to learn a combination of hypnosis psychotherapy and counselling skills to be a sought after therapist, coach or indeed any powerful agent of change.

How much work is involved?
As a pre requisite to the Diploma course there is an Introductory weekend workshop that needs to be attended called 'Learn Hypnosis – to help yourself and others'. For details of the next workshop click here.
The Diploma course is made up of ten weekends, if you miss one you will simply be required to write up notes on what was taught. (With a little help from your mentor of course!) there are modular assignments after every weekend to help embed your knowledge and skills. So on average we think that about four hours a week will ensure that you are ahead in your learning.
Will I be able to get insurance?
Is the course recognized by any professional bodies? The course is accredited by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Committee and the Hypnotherapy Association

And here is Karen, a project manager whose advanced people skills enabled her to treble her salary in 1 year
The past year has been totally life changing. Originally I signed up to do the Within-Sight course just to create a potential career path for me in a field that I am fascinated by and that I thought I would be good at, which it did, but it also did so much more than I ever could have asked for. Whilst learning in a safe, none judgmental relaxed and fun environment I was inadvertently given the tools and knowledge to be able to negotiate a happy and fulfilled life. Really learning about what it takes to be happy, and in turn learning how to teach that to others really is priceless. From my friendships to my relationships with my family and partner, everything has received a positive impact. I find myself talking to everyone about the things I have learnt on the course! So whether it's for personal or professional reasons, this course is worth every penny.
From here I am looking at moving into the Drug and Drink rehabilitation sector where I hope to be accepted onto an apprenticeship course and continue my learning. Tessa London 2010
We are accredited by the only two independent awarding associations for hypnotherapy. That is the GHR (General Hypnotherapy Register) and the HA (Hypnotherapy Association). Students who graduate from Within Sight's Diploma, are automatically accepted for membership and qualify for insurance cover.

The sad thing about many of the forces that make so many kids feel there is no way out from bullying is that they are universal. They feel alone, that no one can help them. The families, classmates and schools are left behind to think and hopefully learn how to reduce the pain that causes these suicides. One father's story, featured in the film "Bully," was told to Raleigh students when he came to speak. Ty Smalley was only 11 years old when he took his life. (WRAL):
"Stand up and say it's not right," Kirk Smalley said, showing his young audience photos of boys and girls who were driven to suicide by bullies. The stories resonated with the students.
"I did not want to go to school, and almost every day, I would be in the office," bullying victim Charlie Woodlief said, noting that he got through that difficult time with the help of his family, friends and teachers.
Even East Wake Middle Principal Nancy Allen recalled being bullied as a child.
"Whenever one of my students comes to me and says, 'I've been bullied,' I remember those days, and I get a lump in my throat," Allen said. "I don't want that to happen to one of my kids here. They're too important."
One in five HS students had been bullied at school in 2008-09. The Wake County Public School System has a Bullying Prevention Task Force in place to study and address the issue.

The stage was set for a whopper of a negative campaign hit on Hunt, who was oblivious to the coming public-relations nightmare. Indeed, Hunt told me, while he has read WhoisCraigHunter.com throughout the race, he didn't necessarily take its warnings seriously. The feisty blog, which is friendly to Hunt's campaign, had repeatedly predicted the Schroeders would use their influence with KCBS-TV reporter Dave Lopez and staff members at The Orange County Register to launch a last-minute smear campaign against Hunt.
"It sounded interesting, but I wasn't worried about it," said Hunt, who has the endorsement of the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs and routinely wins over crowds at public events. "Then I get a call from Lopez, who tried to wreck my 2006 campaign for the Schroeders, and I said to myself, 'Wow, the WhoisCraigHunter.com folks were right.'"
On May 24, I broke the news that a union representing Santa Ana cops had yanked its Hunt endorsement because of the Lua case. Later that day, Lopez weighed in. His report, which led the 6 o'clock news in the massive LA-OC television market, wasn't flattering about Hunt.
"I watch Lopez's piece, and I see the face of Susan Kang Schroeder talking, and then I see Paul Walters talking," said Hunt, who was also interviewed for the piece. "Amazing. The Schroeders got their hit piece. They fabricated an issue, and then got a reporter who would relay that fabrication to the public. Lua is not guilty of that robbery. Lopez didn't even bother to say that the Schroeders are backing Hunter and Walters is backing Hutchens. He wanted people to think he'd found two neutral, objective sources for his hit piece. What a joke!"
When I reached Lopez, with whom I've worked in tandem on several occasions, he said that his station doesn't allow him to comment on stories, but he did offer that Hunt's complaints are "too ridiculous to comment on."
Nicol, Lua's lawyer and a company commander in the U.S. Army reserve, defends Hunt's role in the case.
"I called Bill and told him I believe that this client, Lua, is innocent," Nicol said. "Bill has an excellent reputation for doing great PI work. He said he'd check it out. After looking at all the facts, he said, 'This kid is innocent, and he's not a gang member.' In more than 90 percent of the cases I've hired Bill, he's come back and said, 'Your client is guilty. You better plead him out.' Bill tells it like it is."
Hunt's conspiracy insinuations make Susan Kang Schroeder laugh.
"I wasn't behind anything," she said. "I did what I always do. I answered a reporter's questions about a case. It's that simple. Bill Hunt needs to own up to his actions."

Dave Brat doesn't like the media
Dave Brat, the economics professor whose primary win over Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) earlier this month shocked the political world, is not a big fan of the national media.
In an interview with Washington Examiner's Betsy Woodruff, Brat said the national media "was more concerned with the political jockeying and the gamesmanship-type-questions" after he beat Cantor.
"[I] just wanted to talk about what just happened in the 7th (Congressional District) and share the message I've been putting out, and I thought the national media would be interested in that," Brat said.
On the response to an MSNBC interview where Brat declined to answer some questions about policy, Brat said he actually gave extended answers.
"That was kind of the D.C. gotcha-game, and I wasn't familiar with that. My local people have been very fair to me and have given me coverage," Brat said. "That's one of those examples I was talking about — I gave very extensive remarks for an extended time on complex issues, and somebody over there decided to splice it up into a ten-second sound bite and say that I wouldn't answer questions. And that's false ... The media does play a vital role in our democracy, and if we cannot depend on journalistic ethics, the nation's in trouble."

There has been no harsher critic of Ethan Martin than myself.
While I once rated him as the Dodgers second-best prospect, he has since fallen flat on his face and my rankings have reflected that. This season, however, he's showing signs of putting it all together for the first time as a professional baseball player.
Martin was extremely raw coming out of high school as a 2008 first-round draft pick, and it showed in his first couple seasons. Last season, Martin began at Rancho Cucamonga and struggled … a lot: 7.36 ERA, 5.16 FIP, 1.85 WHIP, 10. 6 H/9, and 6.1 BB/9. This came one season after struggling with Inland Empire, the Dodgers former California League affiliate.
Curiously, the Dodgers promoted him to Chattanooga to pitch for the Lookouts midway through 2011. He appeared in 21 games, but just three as a starter. It looked as if the team had finally given up on any thoughts of using him as a starter and accepted that Martin was destined for bullpen duty. However, in an about-face, the Dodgers continued with him as a starter in 2012, and so far it's paying dividends: 3.58 ERA, 3.60 FIP, 1.30 WHIP, 5.5 H/9, and 6.2 BB/9.
The walks are still a concern, but I'm assuming that's always going to be a "thing" with Martin. One really encouraging statistic is that, in 27 2/3 innings, he's yet to allow a home run (knock on wood). Coming into the season, his HR/9 for his career was 0.7, so it's not like he was giving up a bunch of long-balls, but against advanced competition, that's pretty impressive. Another thing to keep an eye on is the decrease in strikeouts. He had a 9.6 K/9 coming into the season, but this season he's sitting at 7.5 K/9. At this point though, I'll gladly take a decrease in strikeouts in exchange for a better overall pitcher.
Stuff has never been a question for Martin. He boasts a legitimate mid-90s fastball, a power curveball that has a chance to be a plus pitch, a low-to-mid-80s slider, and a mid-80s changeup. Yet, he's always been inconsistent and lacking refinement, so that's what needed to change.
This quote, via Tyler Brown of Nooga.com, from Lookouts manager Carlos Subero gives a glimpse into what has powered Martin's turnaround so far.
"When he gives up a walk and three runs in the first inning, knowing the Ethan from the past, he did not let that snowball. In the second inning he was still a little shaken with a couple of walks, but he was able to put up five zeros in a row. For me, that's the highlight of development tonight."
That's really telling. It seems Martin is learning to pitch, which is the best thing for him right now, because the criticism from scouts has always been that he's just a thrower.
As a guy who's been really difficult on him in the past (from #2 to #14 to #37), it's nice to see him having some early-season success. Now, if he can put up solid numbers over the course of a season, the Dodgers either have another studly right-handed pitching prospect or a valuable trade chip (bet on the former, if either). So perhaps all hope is not lost for Martin, though we'll have to monitor him for a few months to truly get a read on his progress.
Now if he could just get Ralston Cash (seriously, check his feed — it's nuts), his cousin and Dodgers 2010 second-round pick, to stop tweeting weird stuff and get him back on the mound, we'd be in business.

Leptospirosis is an infection of both humans and animals. It is caused by bacteria called Leptospira. In humans it causes a wide range of symptoms. Some infected persons may have no symptoms. Others may have high fever, severe headache, and muscle aches. In severe cases, people may have jaundice (yellow skin and eyes) from liver failure. Severe disease may also cause kidney damage and respiratory distress. In rare cases death occurs. Many of these symptoms can be mistaken for other diseases. Leptospirosis is confirmed by testing of a blood or urine sample.

Over the next two weeks, we are revisiting each Ravens draft class of the past 10 years. Looking back at past drafts is always entertaining; hindsight is always 20/20, and every team's draft history includes some hits and misses, some gems and some busts.
We've already looked at 2003, 2004 and 2005. How did the Ravens do in 2006?
Let's have a look back.
2006 Ravens draft class:
1st round – Haloti Ngata, defensive tackle, Oregon
2nd round – Chris Chester, guard/center, Oklahoma
3rd round – David Pittman, cornerback, Northwestern State
4th round – Demetrius Williams, wide receiver, Oregon
4th round – P.J. Daniels, running back, Georgia Tech
5th round – Dawan Landry, safety, Georgia Tech
5th round – Quinn Sypniewski, tight end, Colorado
6th round – Sam Koch, punter, Nebraska
6th round – Derrick Martin, cornerback, Wyoming
7th round – Ryan LaCasse, linebacker/defensive end, Syracuse
Coming off two subpar draft classes in a row as well as a 6-10 season in 2005, the pressure was on Ozzie Newsome and the Ravens front office to deliver in the 2006 draft.
They knew they had to beef up the defensive line – something Ray Lewis had also expressed publicly – and they took no chances. Thinking Cleveland might take Haloti Ngata at No. 12, the Ravens traded up one spot, giving up their No. 13 pick and a sixth-rounder for the Browns' spot at No. 12, which the Ravens used to grab Ngata.
The Ravens second pick in the draft, offensive lineman Chris Chester, had a solid five-year run with the Ravens but never quite developed into the standout that they might have hoped, and he went to Washington as a free agent after the 2011 season.
The Ravens came up with two gems later in the draft in safety Dawan Landry in the fifth round and Sam Koch in the sixth.
Landry, taken 146th overall in the draft, became a starter right away and finished his rookie season with three sacks and five interceptions. He was hurt most of 2008 but started every game in 2007, 2009 and 2010 before leaving for Jacksonville as a free agent.
Koch, just the second punter ever drafted by the Ravens (Dave Zastudil was a fourth-round pick in 2002) continues to be an anchor of the Ravens special teams.
The Ravens continued their search at wide receiver, taking Demetrius Williams in the fourth round. He had an inconsistent four-year run with the Ravens, but one other wide receiver proved to be the steal of the draft.
The Saints took an unheralded wideout from Hofstra with the 252nd pick – three spots away from Mr. Irrelevant. He has since topped 1,000 receiving yards six times in seven seasons and has 58 career touchdown catches. His name: Marques Colston.
Ngata, Landry, Chester, Koch all contributed as rookies, and even backup tight end Quinn Sypniewski made a couple of starts. After two underperforming draft classes, the Ravens braintrust delivered in 2006. The Ravens addressed needs in all three phases, and several players taken in April played key roles as the Ravens went 13-3 and won the AFC North.
