Head of Department: Mrs C Charman
Subject Specialist: Miss C Russell
Aims of the Department
All teachers in the Sociology Department strive to encourage and empower students to understand and develop:
- Knowledge and a critical understanding of contemporary social processes and structures
- Appreciation of the significance of theoretical and conceptual issues in sociological debate
- Understanding of sociological methodology and a range of research methods
- The ability to reflect on their own experience of the social world in which they live
- Skills which enhance their ability to participate more effectively in adult life.
Brief Synopsis
Simply put, sociology is the study of society. Sociology uses a lot of different methods in order to investigate the way society works and why humans do the things they do as a society. We investigate issues about the role of social institutions like the family, the media, education and criminal justice systems and religious belief, along with the effects of class, ethnicity and gender on social behaviour patterns.
Why study it?
Sociology is interesting
Who makes the rules about which behaviour is considered 'bad' and which is 'good'? What effect does advertising and television have on our behaviour? How has the structure of the family changed? Why do some groups do better in education than others? Why do some people commit more crime than others? Do we live in a post-modern world where the people we watch on television are more important than our own friends and family?
Sociology is challenging
Can stereotyping be reduced or eliminated? Can different religions be encouraged to work and live peacefully beside each other? Can patterns of voting be predicted? Can family roles become equal and shared?
Sociology is useful
Imagine if we knew enough about the way humans interact to be able to intervene and reduce problems such as crime, family breakdown, poverty, disruptive behaviour, media violence and inequalities in education.
Sociology students must be aware of current developments in education, crime, population and many other areas. They will need to watch televised news reports and read newspapers to keep in touch with changes.

Gains of just two and three yards kept Oklahoma State facing second and seven or eight. It pinned the Cowboys down in play calling. Co-offensive coordinator Gunter Brewer made it clear Monday that the Red Raiders ability to pin the Cowboys down hurt.
"We are a team that needs to stay on the chains. And what I mean by that is we need to be able to call a run or pass at any time and I think any team would like to have that option," said Brewer.
"We can't just go back and throw it like Tech or a team that is in a quasi spread (offense). We have to be able to run and throw the ball. It is extremely important for us to be two dimensional and that is why we have been successful. We had nine explosive plays but they came at times that didn't help us as much."
Late in the game the Cowboys were simply chasing Texas Tech on the scoreboard and had become one dimensional because of the deficit.
The chore now for the entire coaching staff is move past the loss, and get ready to beat Colorado and Oklahoma to close out the regular season. The biggest part of moving on is helping the players adapt to a new goal. The Big 12 Championship is gone. The fact that goal was still in focus for so long makes it hard to give up.
"The continuity will be the same," said Brewer of the staff and the direction they give. "We are going to prepare and nothing is going to change as far as that goes. We need to get win number nine and then 10 and that would tie the all-time school record. We missed the chance to win them all and the chance to win the Big 12 South, so we have to move on to the goals we can get.
"I think you just get the players refocused to the task at hand," continued Brewer when my Cowboy Network broadcast partner John Holcomb asked him about being part psychiatrist this week. "One of the ways you do that is by correcting the mistakes from the game before. I know there are some things fundamentally that we want to improve on.
"We see the little intricacies of where we are, just a block away from breaking a big play or we could have done a better job as coaches or they could have done a better job as players. You don't see that until you see the tape the next day. Whether it is a missed block or a missed assignment they all add up and when you are playing the number one, two, or three team in the nation they don't give you much margin for error."
Speaking of the opponent this week, the Colorado Buffaloes are 5-5 and sitting at 2-4 in Big 12 play. Defensively, they are giving up just 373 yards a game on average. On tape they look pretty good.
"You scratch your head and wonder why they haven't won more games because they look pretty good," said Brewer.
A good team and a road challenge may just be the medicine to get the Cowboys to move past Lubbock, Texas in their rearview mirror. Also, quarterback Zac Robinson is going home for the only time in his college career and he will get to play in his home state. Making it a good homecoming for Robinson could also be suitable motivation.

Off day minor league notes: Sanchez and Williams heating up
Ten years ago, Robinson Cano hit .230/.330/.365 as an 18-year-old second baseman in the Gulf Coast League. The team's 18-year-old shortstop was Bronson Sardinha, who hit .303/.398/.473.
Point being: Low-level minor league numbers can be misleading. Those are kids playing in short-season ball — and even Class-A ball — and putting too much stock in those numbers can create the wrong expectation. Getting too high on the good numbers and too low on the bad numbers makes little sense.
That being said…
Gary Sanchez and Mason Williams have been outstanding in Charleston and Staten Island. Today, Sanchez was named the Player of the Week in the South Atlantic League, and Williams got the same award in the New York-Penn League.
They're two of the more exciting young players in the low-levels of the Yankees minor league system, two teenagers a long way from the big leagues, but doing big things on their way through the system.
Sanchez has struggled through large chunks of this season, but he's also an 18-year-old playing catcher against a lot of players older than him. It's been a year of adjustment for him. In the past week, he hit .500 with five home runs and nine RBI in six games. He homered in three straight games, building on a little bit of an offensive burst near the end of July.
Williams was the Yankees fourth-round pick last year, and he gets rave reviews for his athleticism. Playing center field for Staten Island, he's hit .369/.412/.503 for the season, and he just wrapped up a week during which he hit .577/.633/.769 with 15 hits in 14 games. The guy had three three-hit games last week.
• The Yankees have released veteran left-hander J.C. Romero. He held lefties to a .174 batting average with six strikeouts and one walk during his brief stint with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
• Mark Prior got back in a game on Friday, pitching one inning in the Gulf Coast League. A few days ago I asked Mark Newman about four injured minor leaguers: Prior, David Phelps, Slade Heathcott and Tim Norton. I was told that Phelps is the only one certain to come back completely this season. Newman said there are "questions" about the others getting back to 100 percent this year.
• Through his first two Triple-A starts, Manny Banuelos has a 2.45 ERA with 13 strikeouts and three walks in 11 innings. He's given up 14 hits, good for a .311 opponents batting average. Tiny sample, though.
• George Kontos is still one guy standing out on the Triple-A pitching staff. He's generally been a long reliever this season, but this was his line in a spot start one week ago: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K. He has a 2.70 ERA with 77 strikeouts in 73.1 innings this season. Adam Warren, D.J. Mitchell and Lance Pendleton are also still putting up good numbers for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Plenty of multi-inning options just waiting for a door to open in New York.
• Since August 1, Brandon Laird is slugging .560, Jesus Montero is slugging .571 and Jorge Vazquez is slugging .667 in Triple-A. Vazquez is up to 27 homers and 82 RBI. He missed time this season and still leads the International League in both categories. And keep in mind, that's a pitchers' league.
• The power hasn't come yet, but Zoilo Almonte is hitting a solid .281/.366/.382 since his mid-July call-up to Double-A. He's one of the fringy guys who's started to put himself more on the prospect map this year.
• Speaking of on the prospect map, Pat Venditte keeps putting up numbers. The switch-pitcher has a 2.83 ERA while being used primarily as a multi-inning reliever in Trenton. He has 73 strikeouts in 76.1 innings, lefties are hitting .202 against him, and he's been especially good since late June.
• Graham Stoneburner's first two starts back from the Double-A disabled list: 13 IP, 12 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 K… Dellin Betances has gone the other way with a 6.75 ERA in his past five starts… Finally healthy and pitching again, member of the 40-man roster Ryan Pope is holding hitters to a .184 batting average in Double-A. He probably should be in Triple-A, but pitching depth has him back in Trenton.
• Tonight Jeff Marquez is making his third rehab appearance with High-A Tampa. The numbers aren't especially inspiring so far with a 7.20 ERA and .353 opponents batting average through his first five innings with Tampa.
• Much better numbers for Tampa second baseman David Adams, a prospect who's been MIA most of the season but finally seems healthy. He's hitting .320 since being added to the Tampa roster on July 24. He's another guy who should be at a higher level, but he's playing down there after basically a season of rehab work.
• This year's 16th-round draft pick, Brandon Pinder's numbers in Staten Island: 18 IP, 8 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 23 K, 10 saves.
• Last year's first-round pick, Cito Culver, hit .327/.405/.464 for Staten Island in the month of July… This year's first-round pick, Dante Bichette Jr., hit .418/.518/.659 in the GCL last month.

The actual footage of the CCTV was released by the NBI on Wednesday showing the full timeline of what occurred during the night that Vhong Navarro was attacked at Deniece Cornejo's place. The time stamp show a different story than what Cedric Lee and Deniece Cornejo is saying.
There has to be justice in this.
Charges will be filed against Cedric Lee's camp which includes the following:
Serious Illegal Detention
Serious Physical Injuries
Grave Coercion
Grave Threat
Unlawful Arrest
Citing the CCTV footage, the NBI presented a timeline of the circumstances around the time the TV host-actor was mauled inside Cornejo's condominium unit.
Before presenting the CCTV footage taken at the condo's elevator, the NBI noted that the time stamp at the elevator's CCTV was not synchronized with the time at the lobby's CCTV.
The time at the elevator's CCTV was 40 minutes late compared to the real time at the lobby's CCTV.
Footage taken from the CCTV camera at the building's lobby showed Navarro entering the condominium alone at 22:38 p.m. or 10:38 p.m. of January 22.
He entered the elevator and went up to the second floor of the building at 10:39 p.m. (9:59 in elevator's CCTV time).
At 10:40 p.m., Cornejo was seen riding the elevator towards the first floor and leaving the condominium.
At 10:41 p.m., a man identified as Lee entered the building. Lee then rode the elevator and went out also at the second floor at 10:43 p.m. (10:03 in elevator CCTV's time).
At that time, the NBI stressed that Cornejo had already left Navarro inside her unit, which means Lee could not have witnessed Navarro on top of her in her room as the businessman has alleged in several interviews.
"I think it's not possible yung sinasabi nilang attempt to rape Ms. Cornejo… Kasi po very glaring dito sa ating footage na there was no incident na si Deniece was inside that room," de Guzman said.
At 10:43 p.m., just two minutes after Lee arrived, two men, one of them wearing a white shirt and glasses identified as Ferdinand Guerrero, also entered the condo and went up the second floor.
Just seconds after that, Cornejo was seen going back to the building. While she was talking to a security guard, Bernice Lee and another man yet to be identified were seen at the door.
Accompanied by the security guard, Cornejo, Bernice and another man then left the building again.
At 10:48 p.m., a man who Navarro identified only as alias "Mike" entered the condo. He also rode the elevator towards the second floor.
The next person to go inside the building was Bernice at 10:56 p.m. However, she was not seen riding the elevator. The NBI said she might have used the stairs instead when she went up the second floor.
At 10:59 p.m., Lee and his sister Bernice entered the elevator, went down the first floor and left the condo.
Lee and Bernice went back to the condo building at 11:01 p.m., already with Cornejo.
At 11:02 p.m. (10:22 in elevator CCTV's time), the three again went up to the second floor.
At 11:13 p.m. (10:33 in elevator CCTV's time), a tied-up Navarro was seen entering the elevator accosted by two men, who were both not seen in the elevator's CCTV footage earlier.
The NBI suspects these two men, one of them identified as bodybuilder Zimmer Rance, were already inside Cornejo's unit when Navarro arrived.
Navarro, Rance and the other still unidentified man were followed inside the elevator by Lee, Mike and another still unidentified man, then Cornejo, Bernice and Guerrero.
All in all, there were 8 suspects in the case, including Cornejo and Lee, the NBI said.
At 11:13 p.m., Navarro and the eight others were seen walking at the lobby towards the door.
The CCTV at the condo's main gate, meanwhile, showed all of them leaving at 11:14 p.m. After that, the NBI said they rushed to a car and proceeded towards the Southern Police District (SPD) where the suspects filed a blotter against Navarro for allegedly attempting to rape Cornejo.
Navarro, for his part, on Tuesday filed charges of serious physical injuries, grave threat, grave coercion, unlawful arrest, blackmail and serious illegal detention, which is a non-bailable offense, against Lee, Cornejo and his other attackers.

Collaborators/Experts Reviews
At first, I immediately likened it to Spock's Beard's latest release, "Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep". In fact, I really thought it sounded a lot like that album. As it turns out, it's the same vocalist! Ted Leonard of Enchant sings on the latest SB album, too! But not just that. As I stated in my review of the SB album, the songs are very much in the contemporary rock vein but with extended instrumental sections for showcasing solo ability and some prog- infused musical passages. This album is nearly a twin brother.
As we are looking at very song-oriented rock music, one shouldn't expect a prog extravaganza. Most of the songs have some additional flair of prog sensitivity; however, they are very much well-composed, well-written, and well- executed rock songs with that something extra that makes them more than just mainstream.
The double album with a bonus disc is a very nice way to get into this band because the extra disc is a compilation of songs from their previous albums. I have found it is not easy or cheap to get some of Enchant's older releases, so this disc is a welcome bonus indeed. Furthermore, the digipak comes like a nice hardcover book with each CD on an inside cover and a booklet of song lyrics, album credits and extra artwork. It looks really stunning and I have to think that these beautiful digipaks are the CD answer to the gatefolds of vinyl albums.
An album recommended for fans of Spock's Beard's less adventurous music. Very good music. Nothing mind-blowing unless you are new to prog but, well, very good! Four stars on a good day. Three stars plus a little on any other day.

So 11 years later is it then a more mature band who has written and recorded "The Great Divide"? That�s actually both a yes and a no as Enchant has almost always appeared as a mature act with a defined sound, and while "The Great Divide" is different sounding from the last couple of releases by the band, it�s not so different that you can�t instantly recognise Enchant�s signature sound. Ted Leonard�s strong voice and skillful vocal delivery is as always in front of the band�s progressive rock/metal sound. A sound that features vocals, drums, bass, guitar, and omnipresent keyboards. Both the vocals and the instrumental parts are skillfully performed by all involved.
The material on the 8 track, 55:34 minutes long album, features clear vers/chorus structures, but most tracks also feature extented instrumental progressive sections, alternate vocal sections, and both guitar and keyboard solos, so this is still pretty complex music, which the often relatively long playing times of the tracks also provide room for. Melody and memorability are always in focus though and the technical playing is ultimately just a means to an end. Compared to the last couple of releases, "The Great Divide" isn�t as heavy and there are only a few metal traits overall on the album. Instead the keyboards are more dominant than ever, and Douglas Ott concentrate more on lead guitars, atmospheric chords progressions, and clean guitar parts, than heavy distorted riffing. So "The Great Divide" is overall more a progressive rock release rather than a progressive metal ditto.
"The Great Divide" is overall a relatively strong release with a good flow, and while the quality and memorability of the tracks decrease sligthly after the opening trio of tracks "Circles" (which is a pretty different sounding Enchant song), "Within An Inch" and the title track, the album as a whole is both well written and for the most part intriguing (although the lyrics are generally filled with simple rock clich�s, and definitely could have been written with a bit more finesse). The fact that it�s both well performed and well produced too, aren�t exactly issues either and 3.5 star (70%) is therefore fully deserved. "The Great Divide" is ultimately a welcome comeback release for Enchant, although not all tracks are equally interesting and some lack a bit of edge and power (tracks like "Transparent Man" and "Life In A Shadow" apply to that description).

The music is very similar to Spock's Beard, some symphonic tendencies mixed with heavy prog. And the musicianship is excellent. The performances are excellent, as is the production.
But here's the problem. When I'm listening to the album, I find it enjoyable. It's just the type of prog that gets me going. But once it is finished, nothing stays with me. I've played it a few dozen times, and before I play the disk, I just cannot recall anything from any of the songs. My wife tells me that she thinks all of the songs sound the same. And unless I'm concentrating on the album, most of them do have a similar sound.
I think if they had added some of the humor and whimsy of the Beard's album it would have lifted this one much higher. But perhaps the presence of Neal Morse (in limited capacity) on the SB release was what lifted it higher.
Oh well. I like it, I just don't love it.
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Rock Progressivo Italiano Team
One thing instantly noticeable in this latest outing is a more relaxed vocal from Ted. During their break, the singer became the new frontman for fellow American prog rockers Spock's Beard, replacing the departing Nick D'Virgilio. Ted's debut for that band `Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep' was well received by their fans, in some ways considered a real return to form for them. It was surprising to discover on that one that Ted had toned down his usual exhausting, sometimes overwrought drawn out singing style from the early Enchant albums. He's now learnt a great deal more subtlety without cutting back on his powerful range, making him a far better singer overall, and he thankfully employs that same style here.
Right from the melodic opener `Circles', it seems like the connection with Spock's Beard has also musically overall been a bit of an influence on Enchant this time around, and anyone looking into this band for the first time coming from the last Beard album should feel right at home here. A gutsy guitar driven rock sound with sleek synths and strong vocal hooks is the template here, with the band stripping back many of their earlier heavier elements and even introducing a few vintage influences here and there as well. `Within an Inch' is an early highlight with a frantic chorus that jumps up in tempo, but especially striking is a lovely reflective middle with gentle jazzy drumming, placid thoughtful piano and a soul-seeking lyric that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a Neal Morse album. The title track `The Great Divide' will be adored by Yes fans due to Ed Platt's nimble and blistering ripping Chris Squire-esque bass and Bill Jenkin's bombastic Wakeman-like synth stabs, and although the main tune is a little unengaging, the lyrics are very interesting and the chorus has slick harmony vocals. `All Mixed Up' jumps between plodding heavy grunt and subtle slinking grooves with a crooning vocal from Ted, who even pulls off some effective lady-killer swooning falsetto!
Guitarist Douglas Ott lets rip with endless shining soloing moments on the poppier and almost radio-friendly `Transparent Man', and with nice call and response shared vocals and a catchy chorus, it makes you wish all commercial radio music sounded as good as this! Same goes for the nice mix of acoustic and electric guitars and smooth intricate vocal harmonies of `Life in a Shadow', and I definitely relate to the biting chorus lyric. `Deserve to Feel' is one of the longer heavier tracks with plenty of fiery instrumental soloing back and forth between the musicians, actually not far off Dream Theater but definitely a bit more fun and playful, and the chorus is upbeat and warm. `Here and Now' is a welcome darker, more melancholic track with a very confronting lyric and sombre mood, and it finishes up the vocal pieces in a classy manner.
But Enchant decide to close the album with the amusingly titled instrumental `Prognosticator', which turns out to be an all-out total prog orgasm! So many manic tempo changes and aggressive whirling energy, there's everything from manic ELP-bombastic swirling organ assaults, dominating heavy guitar riffs and dirty grooves, slithering bass, Sean Flanegan's furious drum attacks, and even jangling Porcupine Tree-like acoustic guitar chimes. It holds together impossibly tightly, is another reminder that the band actually have a sense of humour, and it brings delicious vintage prog excess and modern power together in perfect unity! What a thrilling way to finish a great album!
Enchant show a great deal of maturity and musical sophistication on `The Great Divide', and not only do they deliver exciting and varied instrumental displays with emotional vocals from a singer who's never sounded better, they've also written some very relatable lyrics that lift the material even higher. It's appreciated to hear a prog album more grounded in reality, a world away from fantastical concepts and surreal imagery! If you like hard rocking progressive-related music that prizes strong lyrical and vocal elements just as highly as tricky instrumental displays, or perhaps you're a newcomer to the band due to the connection with Spock's Beard, there's so much to enjoy here. If you do decide to look into the album, be sure to go for the lavish double gatefold vinyl edition from Insideout Music!
It's good to have Enchant back, and even more satisfying that they're sounding better than ever!
Four stars.

11 years after their previous studio album, Enchant returned in 2014 with The Great Divide. It seems that the band's fans are somewhat "divided" over this album, but personally I think it is easily their best since the 1990's and much superior to their previous three studio records (which I didn't like much). Indeed, I think this album even rivals Break and I would rank it just below Wounded. Like the latter 1996 album, for example, The Great Divide also has its best three songs right at the beginning with Circles, Within An Inch, and the title track all being very strong compositions. The keyboard sound often reminds me of Dream Theater's classic Images And Words. After these first three tracks, however, the album seems to lose some of its initial magic and quickly settles into the band's comfort zone of melodic, mildly progressive Rock.
The musicianship it top notch throughout and the production values are high, but the inspiration falters on a few of the tracks. The album's low points are Transparent Man and Life In A Shadow which feature choruses that are just to middle-of-the-road for my tastes. The album's final two tracks are again better but not up to par with the opening triad.
Despite that the album's best songs come at the beginning and that it holds some weaker songs in the middle, I still think the decade long hiatus seems to have done the band a great deal of good. In the meantime, vocalist Ted Leonard and keyboarder Bill Jenkins contributed to the amazing band Thought Chamber whose 2013 album Psykerion is absolutely magnificent. Leonard also sang with Transatlantic and Spock's Beard. What the rest of the Enchant members have been up to I couldn't say.
The Great Divide is a good Enchant album, but certainly not essential. I hope that another live album is forthcoming from Enchant as I would love to hear some of these songs performed live.

Less would have certainly been more. As an American, Enchant is a prog group that I would really like to appreciate. But alas, it's been hard.

Samurai Jack Intro - Remake Latino
Samurai Jack Opening remake by latin animators
4.39 / 5.00 6,877 ViewsIn this final act of Chapter 21, Shandala is possessed with the idea of returning home to her island paradise of Lomalagi. Will she choose to go alone? If she does ask for the other saints to join her...will they follow? The winds of the End are blowing...like a trumpet in the distance. Something is coming...
STop it already
Animation is too slow...and story sucks anyway everytime u submit new animation I'll vote 0 becouse this shit goes too far
I am getting so sick of this series existance
I hate how it is so boring and I hate how you submit one episode a day so that you can get more daily awards, the graphics (not animation) are good but I have nothing else to say.
i laughed when old man took a picture and big guy said he never felt snow b4 haha ^____________^ ...... i dont get this at all but i watch it because it looks cool =D
To those who don't know.
I've read criticism from other episodes and there's some points that seems to be missed.
1. Some wonder how they're cranking these out so fast. Answer is easy. The last episode were finished around a year and a half ago. Broken Saints is not a recent creation.
2. This isn't something that was done quickly. All episodes took around 3 years to make. Meaning, Broken Saints started around 5 years ago. What was the standard for flash movies back then?
3. Why showcase them here now? I don't quite understand that myself. They recieved plenty of noteriety and accolaides and even a Sundance Film Festival award for Christ's sakes. You'd figure there would be contentment after that. Not to mention that the story is too detailed and complex for several NG viewers to handle (not a complaint, just the nature of things). I guess the "why not" response would fit here.
This is my favorite flash series of all time bar none. Could it be better? Sure, but considering how long it took them just to do what they did, I'm amazed they stayed with it until the end.
lol. wow, its seriously like this guy worked for a big comic book company and got his ass canned for making such wussy soft storey boards. and is going on websites making his comic book storeys for free to try and get back at his boss so he can prove them wrong.
but its not working...
- he has artistic tallent.
- he has the knollege for making flash
- he obviously understands how to send it to websites
- HES A FLIPPIN DOUCHE! GAWD! hhhhhhhhhuuuh

KG Hospital did the first ABO-incompatible transplantation or blood group mismatched transplant on 30th September 2014. Human body does not accept even a simple blood transfusion from AB positive person to B positive persion. For Mr. Ganesan, 28 year Goldsmith from ******, Coimbatore after one week of specialized treatment called desensitization, his A positive body was made to accept the mismatched kidney from his AB positive mother. He was discharged after 10 days of hospitalisation hale and healthy.
The boy's 3 year wait for a kidney transplant got finally over. For the last 3 years he was on hemodialysis three times a week and was spending 25,000 rupees every month to keep himself alive and active. Though his father, mother and sister were fit and willing to donate their kidney to him, due to blood group mismatch the kidney transplant was not possible. Patients like Mr. Ganesh who don't find a matched kidney donor in the family normally wait for cadaver or deceased donor transplantation. Due to increasing waiting list for cadaver or deceased donor transplantation, patient's like Mr. Ganesh spend at least 3 Lacs of rupees on dialysis every year. The mortality and morbidity for patients on long term dialysis is very high with 20% patient dying every year and get admitted at least once every year for a major illness.
Thirty percent of all patients are rejected each year due to lack of a blood group matched donor. ABO-incompatible transplantation offers a fresh lease of life to these patients. The long term survival is as good as the regular kidney transplant. And it is cheaper considering the fact that the current waiting time for a cadaver or deceased donor transplantation is at least 3-4 years in Coimbatore. Contrary to the myths, kidney transplant is the best form of treatment for end stage kidney patients. It is not only cost-effective, but also lets the patients live their life to their full potential for the longest possible time. Without transplant, patients end up getting long term dialysis, which is costly (Rs. 3lakhs per annum), affects their quality of life (depend on others and difficult to continue work) and compromise their long term survival (average survival 3-6 years).
KG Hospital is proud that its team of doctors has done such a complex procedure in almost the same cost as a regular kidney transplant and the patient was discharged in a record time. Our Nephrologist, along with his team of doctors, did the first ABO mismatched kidney transplant in the country in April-2009 in CMC, Vellore, and we are happy that the same has been done in KG Hospital also successfully. ABO mismatched transplant is a boon for dialysis dependent patients. For this type of transplantation, unlike most centers, we employ a treatment regimen, which selectively removes the ABO blood group barrier alone without affecting the overall immune system of the patient. Thereby the patients do not have long term side-effects. The long term survival in this new type of transplant is as good as the regular live transplant.
Dr. G. Bakthavathsalam, Chairman of KG Hospital, has been the pillar of support for this venture.

I'm having the exact same problem! I'm on week 8 and have had dark brown spotting for a few days at a time for the past two weeks (so conveniently happening on the weekends, UGH). I'm usually within 3 hours of taking it at the same time everyday and am trying to get better but this is SO ANNOYING. I hope it stops but if anyone has a cure pleaseeeee let me know.

Seasonique....never ending spotting
I've had this dark brown spotting for the last few weeks. I'm on my first month of Seasonique. I started it because I was having a pd every 2 weeks and it was horrible. When I first started taking the bc pills (after no bc for 3 years), I did fine then started spotting light red (not pink)...but it's constant...all day...every day....it inhibits the nookie and I'm really annoyed.
My dr doesn't have any answers of why, prior to taking Seasonique, I was having a pd every 2 weeks. SUUUUCCCKKKSSSS

Adventures in Food
Why aren't you using…cumin
Cumin. It's the 2nd most popular spice in the world after black pepper. And yet you'd have to dig to find it at the grocery store.
In the same family as parsley, dill and caraway seeds (with similar shape and look), cumin has a strong earthy flavor and smell. It adds that layer of old world essence to Mexican and Indian dishes.
When I seasoned our molcajete, I used cumin seeds to smooth out the rough surface of the Mexican mortar and pistol. While you can freshly ground your own cumin seeds, I'll readily admit I usually don't have time to do it. I order mine from Savory Spice, but you may have another spice shop in your neighborhood where you can pick up this must-have ingredient.
Try adding it to chili, barbecue sauces, soups, meat rubs, and anywhere else you might reach for chili powder.
I never used to like spicy or seasoned foods as a kid, but thank goodness I've seen the light as an adult. There's something about a spicy dish I just love now, although since hubby does most of the cooking, I don't get to experiment much. Maybe I'll nestle a container of cumin in his Easter basket.

Have you ever had this happen?
Have you ever had this happen?
Where you help a friend out only for them to turn around and treat you like ****? I've helped friends get 4-ad and other prohormones before and many of them after they put on their little 10lbs of muscle think they are tough **** and becoming ****y as hell and in some cases try to call me on. What gives!? I had this happen tonight at the gym and he's damn lucky i didn't rip his head off, i'm shaking i'm so angry right now (now i know lipo-6 and tren don't mix, ...for me anyway). Well i helped a buddy of mine get some transdermal 4-ad, he's competing in his first contest, a natural contest by the way, lol. Well he asked me how much weight i've lost now, and i told him 4lbs, now i've been only dieting for 2 weeks so i'm right on track, well he started laughin and carrying on saying he could drop 20lbs in 4 weeks and i'm just being lazy yadda yadda. So that got me going and I said "ya but you'd be a skinny *****" , so i walk away and later between sets i say high to another friend and the same guy is doing crunches on an exercise ball and he tell's me he'd been doing them for 10 minutes straight and no way i could do that, so i just shot back "ya your right i'd do them correctly". Then he starts up saying i'll never have abs like his, he's got the best abs in the gym blah blah blah. So i tell him he's getting a little too ****y and he says "well why shouldn't I?". Then through the rest of my workout the guy would be whispering to ppl and looking over at me and laughing. I swear to god guys i nearly walked over, picked him up by the neck, dragged him outside and went to town on his ass. I can tell you one thing, i'm never helping this guy out again, no diet advice, no supplements, nothing. This guy would do a 20 minute chest workout and call me a ***** for taking 45minutes? Saying he was working more intensly. What's funny about all this is he stand's 5'7 and a sopping wet 160, and i'm 278, at 6'2 and getting harder every week. Man i need to calm down. This rant felt better, lol. Thanks for listening.
where do you guys find these people... you know its funny im on hear everyday reading all this inconsiderate **** that i see people have been told and are posting up, and it really is starting to blow my mind.. ive been going to a gym for about 10 years now. Thats about 3 different gyms, and i have never ever run into someone whispering to other members about me then everyone looking and laughin at me, or someone telling me they have a better body then me.. Idk i guess its my location or something I live in NY, n maybe people just dont give a **** about anyone else where im from (could be a bad thing to) lol idk. but its just funny cause i really dont know how i would react if some of this **** went on where i was. CHAPS i dont know what to tell you, people are idiots, but just remember this most people act the way they do because they are jealous.
I just needed to vent, lol. I just felt my blood boiling and it takes alot to get me going. I think if anything it bothered me more knowing i had put time in helping this guy our and incouraging him to compete, so it felt like a knife in the back.
i swear....people! the nerve of that guy. you would think that people would step out of the box and see how inconsiderate they are and be ashamed..... but that's expecting too much of most people isnt it. who does that crap! that guy sounds worse than a chick..... i would have been irrate too.
I say you wait till his girl is around and just make him feel small as S***!!!! I hate skinny (or as they say im cut) little F***!!! I had afriend like that one time till he caught his girl sweatin me.. These guys who are skinny as hell talking about how cut they are need to learn SIZE DOES MATTER!!!!!!
Chaps just blow it off. They are just jealous. Some people need to bring you down to make them feel good. Life's to short just take a deep breath and laugh at them because they are 160lbs lol.
Nothin wrong with 160lbs. It's all about your attitude. 280lb assh0le weights the same as a 160lb sh1thead. Just sayin. (Probably because I am a whoppin 170!)

It is true though, this may sound funny comparing it this way but i've got 3 dogs, all labs and they are friendly and very gentle but anytime a little dog is around the little dog goes nuts and 2 of my dogs have been bitten by little dogs. It really does happen very similar in the weight room, having guys much smaller than yourself trying to tear a strip off of you, Trevor Smith that owner of Nuclear Nutrition wrote and article about this before he passed away and it's soooooooo true. I just find it sad that people have to act like that to make themselves feel better, I'll still continue to help people if they ask for my help, I just think i'll be a little more cautious.

not sure the exact environment you were in at the time, but if you can, it's always better to approach him/them in that situation.....even if it leads to something worse. because i find if you hold it in at the time, you'll feel better at the time, but you'll think about it a lot afterwards. where if you let it all out at the time, you wouldn't feel as good at the time, but you won't think about it as much after the fact. 'course i don't know the exact environment you were in at the time.
usually i end up holding it in also, and then end up thinking about what i should have done or would have liked to do - 05-30-2006, 09:53 PM
Honestly i think one of the reasons i really held it in was because I brought my mother with the gym with me to help her train for a running class she was taking. And the way this guy was acting i had a feeling it would just end up us stepping outside. I probably just woulda used one of Bas Rutten's selfdefence moves on him, like an arm bar or something, just toy with him and make him look like the ass.
i also notice some people are just real clever and are very smart with words. you know what they say, think quickly, but talk slowly.
if you were able to quickly say "what do u want such sharp abs for? to grate cheese? hehe. yeah, i'll ring u up the next time i need some cheese shreds for a salad smart ass." and then just walk away while smiling and point back and say loudly " that's right, another 10 minutes snappy. gotta keep 'em sharp for my cheese" and then walk off.
but to be able to talk and think like that, you gotta be clever and naturally sharp, because it's not something you can memorize, it's always asap, and different everytime.
i, for one, could never do that..... although i would like to god damnit!!! - 05-30-2006, 10:00 PM
Damn, Chaps, I've definitely never met someone like that at the gym. He sounds like a caricature of a person. Sounds like you handled it well with comebacks. The mirror speaks the truth for you so you don't have to.
I'd say you should cut this guy out completely. Do not kick his ass, b/c if you have gear, and you've gotten it for him he could try to rat on you, at least to the gym owners, if not LE. In the future, you should be careful who you get things for. I wouldn't trust most people with anything. - 05-30-2006, 10:01 PM

There's plenty of dudes like that at the gym I used to go to. I just get pretty close to them, and then laugh in there face whenever possible. If he asks why you're laughing, tell him because he is a hilarious joke to you. He most likely won't have much to say, and will pretty much be your b*tch from their on out. I mean he's disrespecting you, so disrespect him back without getting too heated.
wow man, wish i had a friend like you in the gym. whenever i'm in there, there's always this ditzy chick that's all like,"how do i use this leg extension machine" so i show her. then she comes back and asks how to use the goddamn pull up assisted machine. so i show her everything and then she leaves without saying thanks. sucks.

Don't get into **** talking, you are better than that. They pick on you because they know you are better. I just feel bad for little "bieaches" like that. (which is didn't stop me from bit ch slapping them back in the days) - 05-31-2006, 02:17 PM
Hey man eff dude, all you have to do is ignore him and say nothing. Act like he does not exist, as i find that this is the sure way he knows he has done something wrong, his actions were straight betrayal, and thats one thing I do not tolerate from friends, as my motto is: "I have no friends just family." As I have learned that associates are best in life's game.
Man isn't it funny that its always the skinny guy who puts on 10 pounds and then becomes an A******!!! I have a ton of huge friends , I mean just about everyguy I hang around with are 210 plus . And we are the most mellow bunch of guys we'll help anyone at anytime. Then you get the sping break bunch of juicers and all of a sudden they know everything. Hey but I must say The little BAS***** do have 6pacs I just F****** Hate them.

i really dislike people like you mentioned at the gym. there are ****heads everywhere and people bragging about how much they can bench and waht not. No one really cares how much you bench or at least I don't That's why guys like that usually have chicken legs. But i understand what you are saying about rude inconsiderate backstabbers at the gym it's just not a place for it i wish everyone was friendly and helpful at the gym like some people.
Man you know whats funnier than that . When you have a huge guy A**hole, I know some like 240 plus, and their weak as S***. They have this guy I know , well one day i was shruging like 5/ 45s on each side. He walks up with this girl hes training and tried to punk me!!!!!! He says just leave that I'll warm up . Man he straped up grabbed hold , and thats about all. No lift !!! Funny as S*** I tell you . At this point Im Pi****. So I say s*** I feel I can still do another set How about we add another 45 oneach side. Squeezed out 10 . Need I say more!!!! He never tried that S*** again. You know them guys that walk up to the new kids and are like " Let me get a set "" next thing you know he takes the bench and the little guy gets screwed out of his workout. Those guys are just as bad. So just keep in mind hey weve seen it all and we dont need to be like that, we need the little guys to become the next gen helpful bodybuilders.

Memories and monuments
We still have the dented measuring cups and spoons my mother used all her long married life, and we use them too. We open the drawer to the right of the stove, and there they are, along with her rolling pin and biscuit cutter — a drawer full of memories and monuments. Her old flour sifter is on the top shelf in the spice cabinet. And there are dozens of other items, from implements to pans, trays to pots, knives — good god, and there are the cutting boards my father made shortly after the war, which there is no need to name, because there is ever and always only just one. Come home, my love, come home, and let us have children.

A wild place
Cracks in the gutter sprouting dandelions,
laced with worms taken there by rain,
sky of clouds and geese hurried on by wind,
air scented, mad, and fresh —
remember, love, this is a wild place we're in.

as if my fate
in my worn out clothes
cherry blossoms
as if my fate were clear
the end of me
cherry blossoms
will be the end of me
the beginning too
between the lines
what I have . . . what I don't have . . .
explained by cherry blossoms
never will
cherry blossoms
and my tea
which never will stay warm
what I hear from home
what I hear from home
about the cherry blossoms
brings me to your door
this old orchard road
this old orchard road
through cherry blossom poems
has no mileposts

Could you imagine trying to navigate your company's website without the use of a mouse but only using a keyboard with arrows? How about closing your eyes and then trying to imagine what a picture or image is with only the image description being read aloud to you? These are only some of the frustrations that millions of consumers living with disabilities are subject to every day.
But why does this matter?
The travel industry has recently been the hot button for ADA Demand Letters and although access to information should be made available to every user, there are companies that lack basic web accessibility features for the thousands of their customers who are reliant on reader technologies and suffer from blindness or low vision. Ultimately, what may seem like a non-issue to most users can cause the biggest obstacles to those who utilize these technologies in order to access products and services and deals like everyone else.
