Home > Seniors > Medication Safety
Medication Safety
Sensational Seniors
We have bulleted lists of suggestions on proper use of your medications and things you should not do with them. Also, it's a good idea to keep the number for your state Poison control and Drug Information Center readily available in the event of an emergency, such as a child getting into your medications, or if you take the wrong medication.
It is also important not to over-medicate, as this can lead to drug abuse. If you feel you need help with drug abuse, there are many treatment centers available. It may be best to as your physician for a referral.
Consider getting all your medications from one pharmacy. This allows the pharmacist to monitor possible interactions between medications. When shopping for a pharmacy, consider all the services provided by the pharmacy, not just price. Does the pharmacist take adequate time to explain what your medications are for and how to take them?
Do's of Medication Use
- Know the name of the medication and the condition for which you are taking it.
- Know the common side effects of the medication that you are taking and what to do if you experience a bad reaction to the drugs you are taking.
- Ask what to do when you miss a dose of your medication. Should you take the medication when you remember it, or should you wait till the next dose is due?
- Understand how and when to take your medications (how many times a day and at what times, with or without food). Know if there are any special instructions (for example, shaking a liquid medication before using).
- Ask if there are any special storage conditions for your medication (for example, keep in refrigerator). Most medications without special storage instructions should be stored in a cool, dry place.
- Use measuring devices obtained from the pharmacy to measure dose of liquid medications. Household measuring devices such as a teaspoon can vary widely in the amount that they hold.
- Take the medication according to the directions prescribed by your doctor. Do not alter the dose of your medication without first discussing it with your doctor.
- Take the complete course of medication prescribed. Even though some medications may make you feel better after a few days, it is important to take all the medications prescribed to prevent a relapse.
- When taking tablets or capsules by mouth, sit up and take medications with a full glass of water. It may also help to take a small sip of water before taking the medication. These measures will prevent the medication from sticking in your throat and will help the medication begin working faster.
- Discuss any questions or problems with your medication with your doctor or pharmacist. Make sure that you understand their answers and that their response completely satisfies your questions and concerns. You have a right as a patient to a complete and through understanding of your condition and medications.
- Know both the generic and trade name of medication.
Don'ts of Medication Use
- Don't take medication without first reading the label. Turn on the light, use corrective lenses if required, and make sure that you have the proper medication.
- Don't share medications with family members or friends. Although their medical problems may seem similar to yours, prescription medications should only be prescribed by a doctor who is familiar with the patient's complete medical history and allergies.
- Don't mix medications in pill bottles. Store medications in properly labeled original containers that you receive from the pharmacy. Some medications may loose their effectiveness if improperly stored. Mixing medications also greatly increases your chance of taking the wrong medication.
- Don't crush tablets or open capsules before taking the medication without first discussing this with your physician and pharmacist. Some medications may act differently in the body if the tablet or capsule is disturbed. If you have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules, your physician may be able to prescribe a slightly different medication.
- Don't keep medications that you are no longer taking. Dispose of medications safely by flushing down the toilet. Even if the same condition occurs for which you were taking the medication, the medication may no longer be good, or you may be taking other medications which may interact with the original medication. This will also decrease the chance of taking the wrong medication.
Additional Safety Notes
Keep all medications out of the reach of children. What is safe and effective for you may be deadly to a child. Keep medications in child protective containers. Even if you don't have children in your family, neighbor's children or grandchildren may come to visit at your house or children may get into your purse while visiting families with children. If you have a condition which makes opening child resistant containers difficult, you may request your pharmacist to dispense the medication without a child safety cap, but remember to use extra care in where you place this medication.
Do Not Overuse Antibiotics
When antibiotics are used again and again, new generations of bacteria become resistant to those antibiotics. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that half of the 100 million antibiotic courses prescribed each year are unnecessary. Antibiotics work only on bacteria, not on cold and flu viruses. When you are sick, wait a few days before you ask for antibiotics. Viruses cause most respiratory infections. To treat a cold or flu, first try over-the-counter remedies containing decongestants, fever reducers (if fever is over 101) or antihistamines. If your symptoms last longer than the normal course of a cold (three to four days) or the flu (seven to ten days), see a doctor.

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Wednesday October 23.
Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSEARCA:TLT), Boeing (NYSE:BA), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Valero (NYSE:VLO), Abaxis (NASDAQ:ABAX), American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP), ConEd (NYSE:ED), Duke (NYSE:DUK)
Everything that was loved is now hated, and everything that was hated is now loved. With the Dow down 54 points, cyclicals and oil got punished, but consumer products roared. Why the sector rotation? There is compromised confidence in the U.S. because of political wrangling, and the central banks of China and Europe are telegraphing at least a slight slowdown. Caterpillar (CAT) was the "disaster of the day" reporting poor numbers, and Cramer thinks this is mainly due to weakness in commodities, which is actually good news for consumer packaged goods companies that buy commodities. Oil is not done going lower, at least indicated by the chart, and it seems that "Gentlemen prefer bonds," with the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) rallying. Bonds don't rise unless something is awry, and while Cramer doesn't foresee a major downturn, there are now some bumps in the road. He would stick to consumer packaged goods, but also some growth stocks that tend to do well regardless of the economic environment, like Google (GOOG), Apple (AAPL) and Boeing (BA), all of which are levered to trends that transcend the economic roadbumps. He would also consider buying utilities like American Electric Power (AEP), ConEd (ED) and Duke (DUK).
Cramer took some calls:
Valero (VLO) has had a big move up. It is best to wait for a pullback.
Abaxis (ABAX) is worth looking into, but many did not like the quarter because of slow revenues and it is in a vulnerable sector.
CEO Interview: Mark McLaughlin, Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW). Other stock mentioned: Juniper (NYSE:JNPR)
Palo Alto Networks (PANW) develops customized security software and rose 26% on its IPO. The September earnings report was decent, and the stock rose 48% yoy, but has recently pulled back. CEO Mark McLaughlin explained that PANW has next generation software, while its competitors are using older platforms. PANW has ongoing litigation with competitor Juniper (JNPR), but this is not too much of a distraction for PANW, which designs security software that can cover the entire enterprise, from mobile devices to databases. McLaughlin doesn't think the government will cut security spending, and in any case, PANW has a diversified base of private clients along with the public sector. Cramer agreed that cyber security will continue to be a growing trend.
CEO Interview: Howard Schultz, Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX)
Starbucks (SBUX) is opening its first Teavana location in New York, on the upper East Side. CEO and founder Howard Schultz explained that Starbucks has always been selling tea, but until now, coffee has dwarfed the tea concept. The reason Teavana is different from tea sold at Starbucks locations is that Teavana is meant to provide a unique experience that includes blending flavors, sampling and allowing customers to create their own teas. Schultz says he is less concerned with the number of transactions and is focusing more on optimizing the experience provided at Teavana; to compensate for this, the prices at Teavana may be a bit higher. Schultz intends to "leapfrog" this concept overseas quickly; "We want to bring the innovation that has never been seen in the tea category." There was controversy recently about the fact that Starbucks prices in China are slightly higher than in other areas, but Schultz explained that the cost of doing business in China is higher. Starbucks is benefiting hugely from social media and mobile transactions.
The Best Buy And Hold Stock: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)
While Cramer doesn't usually recommend the "buy and hold" strategy, those who practice it, and anyone who likes a solid long-term investment, should consider Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). Poor management was responsible for JNJ's many recalls, but since Alex Gorsky has become CEO, JNJ has seen incredible improvement with a 31% run so for this year. the company has organic growth, accelerated revenue growth and a strong enough balance sheet that it can buy treatments and make acquisitions. JNJ could split itself into three parts: consumer products, which contain many well-loved brands, medical devices and a pharma company that has much more growth than its competitors. Whenever this stock sells off, it is almost always a buy, said Cramer, so he would buy the stock on any dip.

Sometimes health insurance may seem like a financial burden at times, but it is unfortunately a necessity for survival and continued health. However, like most types of insurance there are many factors that can stop people from being able to afford it, or even from any insurance companies accepting them in the first place. It is for this reason that New Jersey Legislature created two programs to ensure that anyone would be entitled to health coverage regardless of their risk claims history, age or any other risk factors. If you have found it difficult to attain New Jersey Health Insurance from https://insurancequote.deals/new-jersey-health-insurance-quotes/ then these programs could be just the help you need.
Individual Health Coverage Program
This program was created so that individuals who are not entitled to healthcare programs provided by the government or by employers could still get access to health insurance. The program aims to provide people to access to many private carriers who can offer a range of health insurance policies. There is a standard individual health benefit plan designed by the Individual Health Coverage Program Board which can be purchased as either a fee for service plan or a managed care plan as well as there being basic and essential plans sold by private carriers, which are available as network based plans using an exclusive provider organization. The basic and essential plans are actually not just available for individuals but can actually be purchased for couples, families including at least 2 adults and 1 child and also a single adult and dependents.
The SEH or Small Employer Health Benefits Program
This program came into effect over 20 years ago in 1994. The aim of it is to ensure that small employers are entitled to access to small group health benefits plans regardless of the health status of any members of the group, as well as allowing these employers to easily renew their policies regardless of any changes that may affect the financial or health status of members. As well as, this plan is also there to protect employees as it enables all employees and any dependents they have to continue receiving the protection of health insurance even after they are no longer eligible to be a member of the group plan. In order to be able to partake in this program the employee group must be at least two members and no more than 50 members.

This Scottish League 1 football preview is written by David Farrell, a former journey man pro who has kitted out for Hibs, Partick Thistle, Airdrie and Albion Rovers among others.
He is about to release a book about his experiences and you can read his musings on a footballers' life in his blog "Football From The Inside".
So here we are on the eve of yet another Scottish football season for the less glamorous Scottish League 1 and 2 sides in Scotland. Glebe Park, Gayfield and Galabank Stadium sit proudly among the salubrious venues our part time players will visit this season.
Each and every Saturday (not for them the last-minute, thoughtless fixture changes to a Sunday) our well run part time clubs, will haul their entourage around the country in an attempt to gain promotion, avoid relegation, or maintain mid table mediocrity.
I still can't get my head round that we're not calling them Division Two and Three as we were in my day, or at the very least, something a little more original than cloning the monickers from the Sky-laden English Premiership, but theLadbrokes Scottish Professional Football League 1 and the Ladbrokes Scottish Professional Football League 2 it is.
So here's my preview of the Scottish League 1 season ahead and in particular, which teams to look out for and which teams may face the dreaded drop.
Scottish League 1 Preview
As always there has been a huge turnaround of players in both Divisions, none more so than at Dunfermline who seriously under achieved last season by not even reaching the Scottish League 1 play-offs.
They have recruited a young, hungry manager in Allan Johnston, who will be looking to bounce back up to managing at a higher level and proving he can be successful. There's no better way of doing that than by winning a Championship.
He has recruited well in the summer with two experienced goalkeepers and in particular signing two terrific full backs in Jason Talbot and Calum Fordyce from Livingston. Building from the back and relying on players with experience from the divisions above Scottish League 1 will be key in the coming months.
Should they start the season well and bring the crowds back to East End Park, I'm sure the Board will back a final push in January. For that reason I'm tipping The Pars to end their lower League exile and top the Division (sorry Scottish League 1) come May.
Of the rest, the Angus teams, Brechin and Forfar will put up their usual fight. They are perennial challengers at the top of the League and I would see no reason either shouldn't be aiming for the Scottish League 1 play-offs yet again.
Dick Campbell knows how to organise teams and get them into good positions and Darren Dods, the new Brechin manager, will be looking to prove himself as a rookie boss. With both having reasonable budgets, the play-offs should be a viable target.
Ayr United and Stranraer should be strong enough to maintain mid table positions and as long as Peterhead retain the scoring prowess of Rory McCallister, that should be enough to steer them clear of any relegation trouble.
Stenhousemuir could be this season's surprise package in Scottish League 1. They have recruited well in the summer with Gilhaney, McShane and Smith all experienced forward players having played at a higher level and, with Colin McMenamin giving them their usual goal threat.
They may well prove to be closer to the top than they were to the bottom last season. My old club Airdrie should have enough experience among their ranks to avoid flirting with the relegation play-offs, but in my opinion they won't have enough quality to challenge at the top.
All of which leaves Albion Rovers and Cowdenbeath to slug it out and preserve their Scottish League 1 status. Neither will have a competitive budget and Cowdenbeath in particular have had a massive turnaround of players this summer and I can see them struggling and facing the drop for the second successive season.
Darren Young and Billy Stark will hopefully have the organisational skills and experience to overcome adversity at my old club in Coatbridge and steer the Rovers to safety against the odds.
And there you have it. My predictions for the Scottish League 1 season 2015-2016 and now you can happily have your punt in the knowledge that having studied Farrell's tips, you are in a better position to know which ones to AVOID, rather than which ones to put the mortgage on.

Magic circle firm Clifford Chance is gearing up to contest a race discrimination case brought against it in New York.
Former associate Caroline Memnon, who is Haitian, is suing the firm for $75m (£37.5m), claiming that because of her colour she was never given any meaningful work, despite receiving a $125,000 salary.
In a suit filed in New York Southern District Court, Memnon is claiming that the firm used her as window dressing ;because ;of her race, fired her for complaining about it, then blacklisted her in the New York law community.
She claims that Clifford Chance, then known as Clifford Chance Rogers & Wells, fired her in 2002 then went about having her surreptitiously ostracised from the New York legal community.
According to the lawsuit, Memnon was offered jobs at Chadbourne & Parke and Manatt Phelps & Phillips, only ;for ;the ;offers ;to subsequently be withdrawn.
Memnon said that, by the end of 2006, she had turned to smaller firms in her quest to find work, believing they would have less contact with Clifford Chance. She was hired by Sullivan & Worcester's New York office in February 2007, only to have her contract terminated the following month. Sullivan & Worcester is named as co-defendant in the case.
A ;Clifford ;Chance spokeswoman said the firm believes the claim is without merit and will be contesting it. Sullivan & Worcester does not comment on pending litigation.
Last year The Lawyer reported that Clifford Chance settled a sexual orientation claim brought by former competition partner Michael Bryceland (20 August 2007). The claim was filed in November 2006, but was withdrawn in April last year before making it to a full hearing.

Happy ending all around. Glad you stayed safe, and kept all your options open.
Maybe you should have called 911 and reported them going to another store? That way the police could have checked it out as well.

I was driving from Mobile, AL to Jackson, MS today and stopped in the Walmart store just south of Richland, MS on Hwy 49.
As I got out of my car I noticed a "not so well dressed" man approach a lady pushing her shopping cart toward her car parked a couple of spots down from me. I could tell he startled her and I stopped to see what his next move was going to be. The whole time I had my hand on my LCP in my right front pocket.
She quickly turned toward him and told him to leave her alone, he tried to explain her why he stopped her, but she kept her distance from him. I stood there waiting to intervene if necessary, but she handled herself well and he took off across the parking lot approaching another woman as she got into her car.
I stopped inside the store entrance and asked the greeter if they had a security person and described the man that was approaching the female shoppers. They said they would report him to security.
After I finished my brief shopping trip, I pulled out of the parking lot and noticed the suspicious individual and another man crossing the highway headed toward another shopping center parking lot.
Just another day in Walmart's parking lot paradise!!!

Maybe you should have called 911 and reported them going to another store? That way the police could have checked it out as well.

Good for you being on top of things and aware. You're a model citizen. Wal Marts seem to be a place to exercise your code red awareness. But it could be anywhere. Stay sharp!
One of our five, or six, Wal-Mart stores has turned into an RV park and a temporary repair lot for broken down motorists
This has drawn a very seedy crowd who also hawk their "goods" and beg for handouts.
I don't understand why so many Wal-Marts have allowed their property to go this far downhill?

My nearly exclusive reasons for setting foot in a Wal-Mart are to get the best price on Mobil 1 oil for my vehicles, or to get a hunting license. I really don't need to support the Chinese economy or to put my furry butt at risk any more than I already do!

Stopped in the local walmart the other day. It is probably the most dangerous area in town on some nights. They went from 24 hours to closing at midnight due to crime. When we pulled into the lot we notice the police "tree house" in the middle of the lot. It's a covered box complete with heat and air on a scissor lift. It has lights and loud speakers on it. It looks great but it's only effective if the officer has a well zeroed in rifle with him. It's the second time in a week I have seen it around Hickory. They bought it to keep tabs on the crowds at Octoberfest and I guess they need to justify the cost by using it. Walmart parking lots are always exciting.
I prefer to live dangerously free than safely caged!

Great report! Having a keen sense of situational awareness allowed you be on top of the situation. You observed what happened and you were ready to respond if you felt the situation needed it. Then you reported the incident to Walmart to have security notified.
Could have reported it to police directly when you observed him moving on to another target rich environment, but that's a learning point and nothing to be faulted for.
Good Job!

The record BTW is 12 minutes from my kitchen, to Walmart and back to the kitchen, with the one item I needed. This was on Thanksgiving day two years ago. The item was a turkey roasting bag. We were supposed to be at my Dad's in 30 minutes, and we still made it.

I am an "RVer" and in the RV community it is well known that WAL-MART allows overnight parking, and yes they do get a GREAT deal of business from us. In the mornings there is a steady stream of people going in to buy supplies, a gallon of milk, sandwich makings etc. A lot of RVers will seek out W-M to buy supplies even when not staying and another store might be closer just because of the courtesy
On a couple of trips I have encountered mechanical problems and sought out a W-M because I know I can get whatever I need there. On one occasion I was parked at the auto service entrance and went in to buy a couple tools I needed, when I went to check out the auto manager was at the register and told me I didnt need to buy tools, he would loan me what I needed
On the other hand I cant see allowing the parking lot to become long term camping and an outside bazaar that causes a loss of business. Overnight or 2 nights maybe.

Will there be another big monetary crisis? As Hamlet stated of the fall of a sparrow: If it be now, tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come the readiness is all. It is with banks. They are designed to fall. Fall they definitely will.

Recently, the federal government finished an inquiry into how we manage the monetary system. One of the question's proposals was that we need a board of oversight over ASIC the customer defense regulator and APRA the bank regulator.
That proposal was ultimately dropped, doubtless with some push-back from the regulators. Developing a Financial Regulator Assessment Board was the query's only recommendation that the Abbott federal government rejected.

I was born with a birthmark/cluster of moles under my arm. About 11 years ago I had them removed from a doctor it was ugly scars in place and a couple of years ago the moles started to grow back now I'm left with the ugly scars and moles. I want to get the moles removed and the scars removed as well from my under arm. What is the best method to remove the moles permanently without much scarring.
Mole/Birthmark Removal? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Mole Removal options
The condition (as best evaluated from your photos) is a type of mole/birthmark called and Epidermal Nevus. It is not unusual for these type of birthmarks to develop new areas over time, even with apparent complete removal. Of course, incomplete removal of all nevus (mole) components may cause some areas to recur as well.
I find good results treating these areas with light electrocautery or CO2 laser, to pin point remove these multiple small nevi. After excellent clearance of the obvious nevi, a series of fractional CO2 laser treatments would help to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin. My only concern with this, is I cannot accurately gauge the true skin type/color on the photos-- as darker skin types must be treate more cautiously.
Mole removal in Los Angeles
I would begin with an examination so that I can analyze the tension zones and determine the best pattern of simultaneous mole and excision removal. You will be left with residual scar from the mole removal. Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles
Congenital nevus
Recurrence of congenital nevus is probably due to inadequate excision. Scars can not be removed, they are permanent. What is important is to review the pathology report of the original excision and you may need total excision of the recurrence. See a board certified plastic surgeon. There are some ways to hide the scar.

How to Configure a FortiGate 80C Firewall with the 3CX Phone System
SIP ALG is used to avoid configuring Static NAT on a router. Its implementation, however, varies from one router to another, often making it difficult to inter-operate a router with SIP ALG enabled with a PBX. The FortiGate 80C has a Built-In SIP ALG Proxy which must be disabled manually.
In general Fortigate routers are know to be complicated to configure correctly for the use as a gateway in front of a 3CX Phone System to connect Voip Provider, direct Remote Extensions (STUN) and 3CX Tunnel connections. The SIP ALG functionality seams to be harder to disable (even if it is disabled via WEB Interface) and varies greately between models. In addition the type of NAT may break correct functionality or re-enable SIP ALG.
The status of this type of firewall is "Not Supported".
Nat Type: Not tested
Configuration of the firewall will never be carried out by the 3CX Staff at any point and must be made by the System-Administrator of the company. You must understand the risk of opening ports to the World Wide Web. Read https://www.3cx.com/blog/docs/securing-hints/ for more information and agree with the terms stated. The provided guide is based on the best known effort to configure the device(s). 3CX is not liable for any misguidance may made in this guide.
Configuring FortiGate 80C with 3CX Phone System
The following steps take you through how to do this:
- Open the Fortigate CLI from the dashboard.
- Enter the following commands in FortiGate's CLI:
- config system settings
- set sip-helper disable
- set sip-nat-trace disable
- reboot the device
- Reopen the FortiGate CLI and enter the following commands (do not enter the text after //)
- Create a rule and set the "Protection Profile" to "Unfiltered"
- Reboot the device and you should be ready to use your FortiGate 80C with the 3CX Phone System without any issues.

The apartment is very clean, spacious and comfortable, near to the metro station. Indoor design is just lovely. In the apartment, there is a kitchenette and all necessary stuff. The area is safe, calm and very close to the Vatican. This place is just perfect, when it comes to do sightseeing in Rome (it is close to a lot of famous places) or just to try to live like a real Roman in this beautiful city. We would recommend this apartment to everyone, it was even better than expected:)Monika reviewed Lovely apartment new opening in Aurelio

GranD & PapaJ LOST in the DARK in Germany!
... NICE hotel in Hof. The cancellation had been called in about 20 minutes before we got there. I call that PROVIDENCE! The taxi driver had told Angel we would NOT find a room, but I know that she knew better than that! Hotel Central was the first one where he stopped, and Junior went in to discover they DID have a room. They also had a FABULOUS restaurant, and we were able to have a very late dinner, which is probably the BEST meal we've had ...
... much in awe as MJ and I were (even though we have been before). There is something magical about Rothenburg. Even found the puppet show theatre where we attended with our gang so many years ago (the puckfest weekend - who could forget).
Another Bavarian lunch with wine or beer and soup, bratwurst with sauerkraut and strudel for dessert. It never really gets old.
We then bussed to Wurzburg to meet up ...
... Gasthof was as downtown as possible.
The mood was Christmas as it was chilly and the typical German overcast day. The decorations about town were Christmas colors. We entered many shops, especially devoted to Christmas. The ornaments were unfortunately outrageously expensive or likely made in China. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the town.
Now for a tad ...
Nuremburg and Rothenburg
... you would do with it.
Rothenburg is one of the best known and most complete walled German towns. It's one of the few old towns that has had parking right next to the walls so it was easy to visit. The city was founded in 1170 and some of the buildings date from around that time. The little houses ...
Mercedes and the Nightwatchman
... and pork fillet. Tonight we joined the Night Watchman's Walk which is held every night at 8pm. Looking around we couldn't imagine how so many people could be catered for but it was well done. He has a good loud voice and it is a very quiet town so he is easily heard. When he stops he stands up on something high so everyone can see him. It was fun walking the dark streets and listening to the history of Rothenburg......very ...

Set (VTM)
this wiki
- Not to be confused with Seth, the fourth mortal.
Set from Clanbook: Setites
Set, Sutekh
Nut [1]
Geb [1]
c. 5000 BC [1]
Zillah (presumed)
Set, also known as Sutekh, is a Typhonist and worshiper of Apep the Serpent.[15] He was Embraced by one of Caine's childer, believed to be about two millennia prior to the first pharaonic dynasty, which began around 3000 BC. He is an Antediluvian who became the Typhon of an ancient cult, originally known as the Snake Clan. They are the Followers of Set who are trained in the Discipline of Serpentis. This cult's main enemy are the Children of Osiris, whom they've battled for millennia. After Set's last battle with Osiris, in 33 BCE, he disappeared, perhaps in torpor somewhere under the desert sands of Egypt.
Set was once a mortal man, born in Egypt, on the Nile River, nearly 7,000 years ago. He was a great hunter and warrior whose only rival was his elder brother, Osiris. They were the grandchildren of Ra, a mighty chieftain who had conquered the people of the Nile, thus uniting Upper and Lower Egypt.[1]
The death of Set's parents, Geb and Nut, was ordered by Ra who felt that they had betrayed him for having additional offspring. Ra felt threatened by royal bloodlines and commanded that they must not bear children. Set was anguished by the order of his parents' deaths, and his voice in the matter subjected him to banishment. Osiris, on the other hand, possibly out of fear, expressed loyalty to Ra and became heir to the throne.
After the death of Ra, Osiris took control of the kingdom, deified his grandfather and promoted his worship as a god. Set returned to his brother Osiris, in hopes of reconciling; however, his reigning brother continued the order of banishment. Thereafter, Set took the name "Sutekh" and travelled north to Assyria. During his journey, he encountered his sire, who is thought to be Zillah.[16] The Gangrel claim that Set met Ennoia, who challenged him to a riddle contest. Set lost, and Ennoia tore him apart, devoured his entrails and filled him with her blood. When Set reawakened, he was delirious, believed himself to be a deity and became enamoured of reptiles and similar vermin. Needless to say, the Setites regard this as slander at best and blasphemy at worst.[17]
According to the Malkavians, Set was a "brother", more likely a Kindred brother, to Malkav and Saulot.[18] In these tales, Malkav and Set have an argument over the nature of Truth; with Set's position that all truth was already known within the soul, but had yet to be understood by the senses and that the best way to come to this understanding was the breaking of inner barriers, with the Embrace as the final of these revelations.[19]. Set was presumably in Enoch at some point and then took residence in the Second City after the Great Deluge. The Ventrue say that he was banished from the Second City, by Malkav, for eating the heart of his twin sister, Arikel.[20]
As the legend continues, Set returned to Egypt and struck down King Osiris and his son Horus. Taking Egypt as his own, Set ruled in power - and perhaps (or perhaps not) sought to free mankind from the bonds of law imposed by Ra. Whatever the truth may be, Horus came back from death as a Mummy and sought vengeance for his father's destruction, ejecting Set from the throne of Egypt and beginning a crusade that would last millennia.
Set the GodEdit
Set the RevelatorEdit
There are some Setites who reject the notion that their "Founder" was ever mortal, or even embraced. Instead, there is the belief that Set, Osiris, Isis, and Horus were all truly gods. After his nephew's triumph, Set was cast into Duat, the Egyptian land of the dead, to rule as the God of Storms. There, he bested Apep, the great serpent of the Underworld, and took the creature's knowledge by eating it's heart. He learned that Ra, Osiris, and Horus all hid the truth from mortals: that creatures' souls were not fundamentally different from those of the gods, and that all souls could grow as powerful as the creator's.
Set swore to overthrow Ra - not to get revenge, but to liberate the souls of humanity - and escaped from Duat through the Primeval Waters, disguised as a water-serpent. Despite the power gained from Apep, Set still had to hide from the sun. He could not break the curse of Ra, nor was he truly alive, for he had tasted the waters of death during his imprisonment in the Duat. As he walked the night, however, he recruited twelve talented Disciples. He taught them the truth, and together they swore an oath to bring down Ra and the other false gods and become gods themselves. Set mingled his blood with that of his Disciples and when they drank of it, he gave up the greater share of his power, granting all thirteen almost equal might (though as a true god, he remained the most powerful).
Their meeting did not go unnoticed, for the Moon (whom Set thought he could trust), betrayed him to the other gods. Ra interrupted their meeting and cursed them to share Set's banishment from the Sun and also his thirst for blood. The Disciples begged for mercy, claiming Set had misled them, thus betraying Set and his teachings. Their betrayal outraged Set, and he swore that if they would not help him fight the gods, he would destroy them as well. [21]
Set the BetrayedEdit
Another story of Set is that he was once the protector of Re against the chaos serpent Apep. Prideful of his elevated role, he mocked the other gods for their weakness. Doing so earned him the wrath of his brother Osiris, who plotted to embarass Set before Re by allowing Apep to best him. He tricked his brother into drinking a potion that would dull his wits and hid himself on Re's barque.
When Apep rose, Osiris, seeing that his brother moved clumsily, lunged forward to defeat the serpent himself, but was knocked unconscious by Apep's tail. Then Set had to watch helplessly as the serpent's fangs bore into his chest. Not willingly to let himself be defeated, he held Apep's head against his chest with all his might, driving the poisonous fangs even deeper into himself. At last, on the verge of suffocation, Apep thrashed mightily and escaped back into the river of the underworld, not to return until the next night. But Set had been infected by the chaos of the underworld. In his efforts to strangle Apep, he had driven the serpent's fangs, which were the length of a man's hand, into his own heart, which is where the serpent's venom took root.
Set was now a cursed figure, alive but marked by the realm of the dead. Unable to withstand the rays of the sun, he was now forced to prey upon Re's most treasured creations, mankind. It was there and then that Set swore vengeance upon his brother, vowing that he would repay Osiris in pain for everything that had been taken from him.[22]
Final NightsEdit
After a brief awakening shortly after the Crucifixion in 33 AD, Set disappeared from view and has not been seen in the modern era. In the Final Nights, however, many signs and portents seem to indicate the impending rebirth of Set and/or his most powerful childer. The opening fiction of VTM: Gehenna (book) revolves around one such event, and Set himself is involved in most of the Gehenna scenarios in varying degrees.[23]
While not every Setite accepts Set as a literal god, Serpentis offers various transformative ways of presenting oneself as one. Many of these aspects reflect theological interpretations of Set, both mortal and vampiric. Since Set's history in the Egyptian pantheon experienced gradual shifts over the course of several millenia, there is a multitude of aspects to revere. Each Temple holds one particular aspect of Set above others, in most cases represented through a childe of Set that exemplifies this aspect.
- The King, which sees Set as the patron and god-king of Upper Egypt[24]
- The Warrior, the protector of Re against the chaos-serpent Apophis[24]
- The Ruler of the Desert, the master of serpents, scorpions and similar vermin[24]
- The Master of Storms, the Lord of Storms and the desert winds[24]
- The Master of Duat, the rightful master of the netherworld who strives to recreate the original peaceful state of the Underworld[4]
- The Lord of All Outside Egypt, an aspect in which Set represents the fear of foreigners and foreign domination[24]
- The Triumphant, Set as kinslayer who defeats and ceremonially dismembers his corrupt brother Osiris[25]
- The Typhon, an aspect which sees Set as a cultist of Apophis and a harbinger of corruption and malady, who seeks to plunge the world in eternal darkness[26]
Other gods that are identified with Set by the Clan (sometimes against the wishes of the cults themselves) are the quatrain of Pluto, Mars, Dionysos and Typhon (sometimes syncretized with Hermes Trismegistus to Typhon Trisgemistus) in certain mediterranean cults; the triad of Shiva, Rudra and Vritra in India; Jormungandr and Loki in Scandinavia; El Cristo Negro in the Carribean and several others, including Dis, Nergal and Damballah, to name a few.[27]

Defensemen with Methot's offensive abilities need to be extra special on defense to be considered top4. Not sure he is that great defensively, but we'll see.
His ES TOI/G has been top 4 on his team for the last 3 years. That's were the pairings are made, and how top 4 is generally determined (ie not by PK or PP toi)
Even this year, he was in the top 4 ES TOI despite Clb picking up 2 top 4 dmen. He likely would have been tough to stay in the top 4 as they have a log jam, but that doesn't mean he isn't a top 4 quality guy.
IMO the move is a step backwards for the team. I look forward to seeing how things play out this season and in the coming offseason. It'll be especially interesting to see how Murray navigates the goaltending situation in light of our glaring need for a top6er and top-pairing dman.
Time will tell, but the reality is we have prospects in the system who look capable to replace Foligno long term, we picked up Latendresse who if finally healthy is an upgrade on Foligno, and we have Regin who if health looks capable of matching what Foligno did (upgrade defensively, might be capable to match offence from last season).
The synopsis is; Foligno was replaceable. Methot is too. Neither one will have a tremendous impact on the team, but there was a greater need for a player like Methot, made all the more evident now that Cowen and Lundin are injured.

YES, MOST of our pork is pretty tasteless and "real wild boar" is extremely flavoursome, though not fatty ("Television chef plays the mating game...", 16 August). But a real wild boar, as hunted on the Continent, lives on nuts, worms, insects, fish and anything else it can catch. Antony Worrall Thompson can improve the flavour of his pork by cross-breeding, but he won't match a real "wild" meat.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau will spend months investigating the source of smoke that forced an emergency landing at Canberra Airport on Monday.
The Bureau said the pilot of the Dash 8 advised air traffic control of smoke in the cockpit while the aircraft was about 70kms away from the capital, forcing the Wagga bound flight to divert to Canberra Airport.
The investigation into the incident, which caused no damage to the craft, is expected to take three months.
Passengers have described the nervous minutes before the plane landed.
Sydney-based real estate agent Peter O'Malley, who was seated at the front of the cabin, told Fairfax Media the aircraft's crew were "visibly shaken" as the midair emergency unfolded.
"(The lead steward) was rattled beyond normal," he said.
"This was not a standard mishap - we were told to brace for an emergency landing."
Mr O'Malley told of chaotic scenes as the plane touched down in Canberra, with passengers ordered to just "get out" with no chance to grab their belongings.
Flight QF2225 departed Sydney about 11.30am and had been due in Wagga Wagga about 12.30pm, but was diverted and landed at Canberra at about 12.45pm.
ACT Ambulance Service Intensive Care paramedics took the pilot and co-pilot to the Canberra Hospital for a checkup, with a Qantas spokeswoman confirming at about 4.30pm both had been discharged from hospital without injury.
Andrew Bradley was in the emergency exit aisle of the Qantas plane diverted to Canberra on Monday, and said it was a nervous few minutes between the pilot's announcement of smoke in the cockpit and landing.
"He said we would land in 10 minutes - [it was] the longest 10 minutes of your life," Mr Bradley said.
The Wagga Wagga resident said he could smell something before the announcement was made.
"You could smell something but you didn't know what it was – when you heard it was smoke you put two and two together," Mr Bradley said.
"We knew something was wrong when the air hostesses sat down, and they told us to 'pack your table and sit in your seat'.
Mr Bradley, 44, said he and some business clients – returning to Wagga Wagga from Sydney after the Penrith-Cronulla NRL game on Sunday – thought their time may have come.
"We thought it could have been it – thoughts of loved ones went through your head.
"There was a bit of panic there [from the passengers], an air of what's going on, what's going to happen?
"The young air hostess, when she was going through the procedure she was getting upset – she got pretty shaky in the voice - so we thought it was not good, not good at all."
The 50 passengers, including one child, landed safely.
Mr Bradley said they were greeted by a fire engine and airport support vehicle as they exited the plane by the steps as usual, before taking a 2.30pm flight to Wagga Wagga with a separate crew.
He praised the professionalism of the crew on the diverted flight.
"[They were] 100 per cent professional – we knew it was bad – but they were very, very professional and did a great job," Mr Bradley said.
"I think a lot of people wanted to thank the pilot but nobody got the chance."
Despite the drama in the cabin as the emergency unfolded, passenger Doug Williment, from Sydney, said the aircraft's crew handled the situation superbly.
"(The pilot) wasn't particularly alarmed but you could sense the urgency in his flying," he said.
"He landed it beautifully."
Mr Bradley said there was relief when the rearranged flight from Canberra landed in Wagga shortly after 3pm.
"When we landed it was pretty emotional, you don't wish anyone to go through this kind of thing," he said.

This Land is Your Land Jun 24, 2007
by Mikmaq
Thirty years after this book was written, Toole's message is still relevant. Montana is still in a war to preserve the land from commercial ravage. We salute the miners and cattlemen who built this country, yet we also see the need to curtail the excesses of the past. We recognize the need for energy, yet coal and electric companies cannot get their way with eminent domain. Mining companies preach that they will return the land into usable farm and rangeland, yet how well have they kept their promises? And what they have reclaimed, is it really usable? In our quest for cheaper energy, how much are we willing to pay?

Desperate Measures Synopsis
Frank Connor (Andy Garcia) is a San Francisco police officer who lives to uphold the law, but who is suddenly forced to go to increasingly desperate lengths to find a compatible bone marrow donor for his gravely ill son, Matt. Peter McCabe (Michael Keaton) is the boy's perfect DNA match, but is also a homicidal sociopath serving a life sentence in a maximum security prison.
After Connor convinces his superiors to transport McCabe to the hospital where Matt's transplant can be performed, the killer seizes the opportunity to stage an ingenious escape, leaving a trail of wounded and dead in his wake. the hospital becomes a battleground and Connor, who under any other circumstances would pursue McCabe and shoot him on sight, now has the opposite goal: defying, and perhaps endangering, his fellow officers, he must do everything he can to find McCabe and keep him alive to save his son.

The Salcha River is a 125-mile (201 km) tributary of the Tanana River in the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] Rising in the eastern part of the Fairbanks North Star Borough east of Fort Wainwright, it flows generally west-southwest to meet the larger river at Aurora Lodge,[4] 33 miles (53 km) southeast of Fairbanks.[2]
The Salcha drains an area of 2,170 square miles (5,620 km2), making it the second-largest tributary of the Tanana.[5] The Trans-Alaska Pipeline crosses under the Salcha approximately 12 miles (19 km) east of the mouth of the river.[4]
Accessible by boat or on foot from the Richardson Highway, which crosses the lower river near the mouth, the Salcha River is a popular sports-fishing stream. The main species are king salmon, caught mostly near the mouth, and Arctic grayling, caught mostly further upstream.[6]
Catch and release fishing for Chinook salmon averaging 20 to 25 pounds (9 to 11 kg) can be good on this river. Summer-run chum salmon and fall-run coho salmon also frequent the Salcha, as do smaller numbers of northern pike.[6]
The Salcha State Recreation Site is next to the Salcha River at milepost 323.3 of the Richardson Highway. The Alaska Division of Outdoor Parks and Recreation manages the 61-acre (25 ha) site, about 40 miles (64 km) southeast of Fairbanks. Amenities include six campsites, water, toilets, picnic sites, a boat launch, and a public-use cabin. Cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are among the possible winter activities near the site.[7]

Chapter 4
"We move out!"
My head bolted upright and my ears fell flat against my skull. Lightening cracked unsteadily somewhere in the distance, sending chills down my spine. I leaned on Rain's leg, eyes bulging. I couldn't even see Spirit through the darkenss, but the followed the gently wavering tail of the horse in front.
Thunder bellowed above and below, shaking the earth. I squealed and my pace turned up a notch until I was cantering blindly. I heard a deafening crash, and lightning had struck a tree, and Spirit was turning wildly away with scanting hooves. Trying to reverse, I was lost in a whirlwind of screaming whinnies, and the worried calls of my mother. Where was she?
Forgetting about Rain, I tumbled forward. I couldn't tell up from down, left from right. Where were we? What direction had they gone in? The questions kept hitting me too late for me to think of answers. My legs ached like fire, and I felt like I'd collapse in ashes. But I wasn't the only thing burning.
The one thing that lit up the dark was the wavering shapes dancing across the dry bark of the fallen tree. I wasn't sure whether to go towards it or away, and I found my legs dragging me back. Heat rolled into the face and stung my eyes, followed by an acidic smell that made my chest hurt. I squinted and felt myself slipping, and I whirled around, then everything disappeared, and I stretched my eyes wide and stuck out my legs.
Slope stretching before me, I remembered my father's dark words as the gravel tore at my pelt, and stones attacked my face. Pain was hot all over, and I let out a tiny cry, but I could no longer hear my herd.
"Rain!" I pleaded helplessly, the dust falling over me blinding the top of the ridge. "Spirit!" But it was hopeless, and I let my head fall limp onto the hard, rough ground. They were gone.
