Thorns and weeds grow wherever an army goes,
And lean years follow a great war.

A general is well advised
To achieve nothing more than his orders:
Not to take advantage of his victory.
Nor to glory, boast or pride himself;
To do what is dictated by necessity,
Not by choice.

For even the strongest force will weaken with time,
And then its violence will return, and kill it."

What to do when someone has a seizure from the perspective of people who have epilepsy:

> If at all possible, catch the person before they hit the floor or hurt themselves.
> Don't try to pry their mouth open, you can break their jaw.
> Don't throw water in their face.
> Put a pillow under their head.
> Every type of seizure is different so I would appreciate feedback. An ambulance was never called nor needed when I had seizures. I woke up on my own.
> After a seizure, the person may have amnesia. Tell the person they had a seizure, that everything is alright and it's ok if they have amnesia and don't recognize anyone.
> Allow the seizure to run it's course. Do not restrain the person having the seizure. There's nothing you can do to stop the seizure. Keep the person as comfortable as possible at all times.
> An ambulance should be called if the seizure lasts more than 5-6 minutes.
> Move objects away from the person that can be knocked over by them or on top of them.
> If there is a group of people, create a ring around the person facing away from the person, giving them privacy.
> When the person wakes up don't let anyone stare. I always hated it when people would stand and stare.
> Putting something in their mouth and holding them down is a completely wrong and improperly portrayed "Hollywood" image. It's a misconception that has been passed down by people who have never actually had an encounter with someone with a seizure disorder. All that can do is break teeth and pull muscles or break bones, or even end up injuring people around the person seizing.
> It is physically impossible to swallow your tongue.


What to do when someone has a seizure from the perspective of a neuropsychologist who is a member of SU:

During a seizure:
> Protect the person from injury.
> If possible, keep the person from falling.
> Try to move furniture or other objects that might cause injury during the seizure.
> Do not force anything, including your fingers, into the person's mouth. This may cause injuries such as chipped teeth or a fractured jaw. You also could get bitten.
> Do not try to hold down or move the person.
> Stay calm.
> Pay close attention to what the person is doing so that you can describe the seizure to rescue personnel or doctors.
> Time the length of the seizure, if possible.

After a seizure:
> Check the person for injuries.
> Turn the person onto his or her side when the seizure ends and he or she is more relaxed.
> If the person is having trouble breathing, use your finger to gently clear the mouth of any vomit or saliva.
> Loosen tight clothing around the person's neck and waist.
> Provide a safe area where the person can rest.
> Do not give the person anything to eat or drink until he or she is fully awake and alert.
> Stay with the person until he or she is awake and familiar with the surroundings. Most people will be sleepy or confused after a seizure.

nunca perdí mi tierra
que me invento contigo.
Yo vivo enamorado
de luz, de mar y cielo.
Quisiera estar bordado
en tu alma y tu pañuelo."

Dedicatoria total de LUIS CARDOZA Y ARAGÓN



Dolazim da se poklonim
Ispred lica tvog i tvoje kriposti
Vracam se da te zamolim
Da blagoslovis mi pute za kraj

Jer pobjede i porazi
Bez tebe na isto svode se
A konac ove nase jubavi
Prvi sam odmotao ja

I tko sam,tko sam ja da ti sudim?
Iz zlatnih snova te budim?
Tko sam ja,tko sam ja da ti sudim?
Jer ljubav je moja
Kamenje,breme i znameneje
Koje uvijek si sa mnom dijelila ti,
A dobila najmanje
Ljubav je moja
Kamenje,breme i znamenje
Koje uvijek primis ti
Kada napuste me svi
Sto jos jucer su se na me zakleli

Uuuu tko sam ja da ti sudim?
Uuuu iz zlatnih snova te budim?
Uuuu

Jer pobjede i porazi
Bez tebe na isto svode se
A konac ove nase jubavi
Prvi sam odmotao ja

I tko sam,tko sam ja da ti sudim?
Iz zlatnih snova te budim?
Tko sam ja,tko sam ja da ti sudim?
Jer ljubav je moja
Kamenje,breme i znameneje
Koje uvijek si sa mnom dijelila ti,
A dobila najmanje
Ljubav je moja
Kamenje,breme i znamenje
Koje uvijek primis ti
Kada napuste me svi
Sto jos jucer su se na me zakleli

Uuuu tko sam ja da ti sudim?
Uuuu iz zlatnih snova te budim?
Uuuu tko sam ja da ti sudim?

-my favourite croatian song by OLIVER Dragojevic]]> http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/6105118/ Sun, 15 Oct 2006 00:04:22 -0700 http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/6028108/ http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/6028108/ mirarte
aprender como sos
quererte como sos

mi táctica es
hablarte
y escucharte
construir con palabras
un puente indestructible

mi táctica es
quedarme en tu recuerdo
no sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
pero quedarme en vos

mi táctica es
ser franco
y saber que sos franca
y que no nos vendamos
simulacros
para que entre los dos
no haya telón
ni abismos

mi estrategia es
en cambio
más profunda y más
simple
mi estrategia es
que un día cualquiera
mo sé cómo ni sé
con qué pretexto
por fin me necesites.

Do you still remember,
how I wanted to capture the stars
from the sky for you,
to make our dream come true?
But
you thought
they were up way too high...?
Yesterday
I stretched by chance
towards the sky,
and a star fell
into my hand.
I was still warm
and showed me,
that perhaps dreams don't
come true right away,
but sometime...?!

I got this from Havanna. The original (I think) version is below. I really like it.]]> http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/6005769/ Wed, 11 Oct 2006 03:03:49 -0700 http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/5974099/ http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/5974099/ (I guess this is to emotional for a man, isn't it? but I'm so out of the "Häuschen" -again- I reviewed the company)]]> http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/5974099/ Fri, 06 Oct 2006 05:08:00 -0700 http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/5908436/ http://Mikol.stumbleupon.com/review/5908436/
