My birthday falls at the end of January. A month of cold and damp here and after the excesses of Christmas, it feels like a time to shy away from more celebration. Especially when you´re suffering from bronchitis like I was. Big Man asked me what I wanted to do to celebrate my birthday and I told him I wanted to be like the Queen of England and celebrate on a second date, preferably when the weather was warmer. Anyway, last year he surpassed himself and surprised me with our rescue puppy, Luna, so I didn´t think a bottle of perfume or a box of chocolates was going to tick the boxes for me. Selfish moo that I am.
The local town hall often organises “cultural activities” for the village folk, not something I have ever been interested in. Probably a bit of smug self importance creeping in, thinking I´m already culturally aware enough already and mixed with a healthy dose of a severe fear of group activities of any kind. When Big Man surprised me (again!) on my birthday by telling me that we were going to join 35 other villagers on a three day trip to Tangier at the end of February, I wasn´t really sure what to think. It´s a destination I´ve always wanted to visit, but Big Man had always said it didn´t interest him, and we both hated anything that involved coaches and tour guides. I decided to keep an open mind about the whole thing, dose myself up with cough medicine and make Falafel to get us in the mood.
Here´s how we got into the Moroccan vibe and made six Falafel. Enough for 2 as a light lunch or 6 “tapas” sized servings:
- 1 tin (400g) or jar of cooked chick peas
- 2 spring onions
- 1 large clove of garlic
- Half a teaspoon of ground cumin
- Half a teaspoon of ground coriander
- Large pinch of chili powder (optional) or a chopped fresh green chili
- 2 level tablespoons of flour plus extra for dusting.
- Parsley (enough to chop down to about 2-3 tablespoons according to taste)
- Oil to fill a frying pan to a depth of about 1cm (I used olive oil)
- Pitta or flat bread and chopped lettuce and mint, a squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
This is a dish which is very fast to prepare if you have a food processor. It took me longer to wash up than to whizz the ingredients. It can also be done by hand with a potato masher and a bit of fine chopping and mixing in a large bowl.
Put all of the ingredients apart from the oil and serving suggestions in a food processor and whizz them up for about 30 seconds then pulse until they reach the texture of grainy, wet cement. If it looks really sloppy add a little more flour but it will still be fairly wet when it´s ready. Add salt to your taste.
Put a couple of tablespoons of extra flour in a bowl and drop in a heaped tablespoon full of the chick pea mixture and using two spoons get it lightly covered in flour. If you can work quickly just drop this straight into your frying pan of hot oil, or if you prefer to work more slowly, prepare the falafel first and put them onto a plate, then heat the oil and drop them in.
Make sure your oil is hot, let is start to smoke then turn the heat down slightly. You only want to get a nice crust to the outside, the chick peas are already cooked. Flatten the balls of mixture down as you put them into the pan and after about a minute flip them over (but make sure they´re nice and browned first).
The second side will take slightly less time, so just check on them, take them out and place onto kitchen paper to blot the excess oil and you´re ready to serve. They´re great with a squeeze of lemon juice then stuffed into pitta bread with some finely chopped lettuce and mint and a spoon full of natural yogurt mixed with an equal quantity of mayonnaise. I´m not sure how authentic that is – but it´s delicious!

Never had, but they sound and look good….Raedi My Birthday is Jan 31, yours?
Jan 31st too! I think we did this already, but found it unread in my email posts! They do look delicious!
We did this last year – it decided to send itself out again for some very unknown reason!
Oh now these hark back to my days working in London. I often used to have them for lunch. I’m not sure what my little corner of Lancashire would make of them but they are delicious.
I’m sure your trip will be fabulous.
Aha – I updated this, did it send you a notification? This was a whole year ago and the trip was fabulous! Oh dear, I hope I haven´t bothered everyone with all my updates 🙂
It did! Did you have fun? I’m always happy to see what’s happening in your world.
It was incredible and you know, I never posted about it…could soon change that!
Oh please do! It’s a part of the world I’ve not been to. One of many! 😉
I love falafel, but for some reason never remember to cook and/or eat it. Guess I know what i’m having for lunch today! 🙂
I have phases of making it – this recipe works well for me! Am not quite sure why this post (which is a year old) has sent itself out..maybe it wanted some attention?!
I love falafel – there’s a great place in Paris which serves it in pita bread with hummus and slices of roasted aubergine – soooo good!! Looks like you had a great meal here – Last time I tried to make it they all fell apart alas 😦 Need to give it another go!
They can fall apart sometimes, it´s just the way it goes. The ones you mention sound fantastic!

The film is set in an alternate 1980s in which the United States is invaded by the Soviet Union and its Central American allies. American high school students resist the occupation with guerrilla warfare and callthemselves Wolverines, after their high school mascot.
This film is not currently playing on MUBI but 30 other great films are. See what's now showing
"red dawn" is weirder than it seems on the surface. in addition to insane nativism and crypto-fascism, it also features a strong affection for subversive insurrection. for a movie as "america fuck yeah" as this, the brat-packers use the tools of "our enemies" almost exclusively. their guerilla warfare calls to mind many "evil-doers," from the vietcong to the taliban. and what's with "ernesto," the sympathetic baddie?
Good not great action Flik. Interesting capsule for the general malaise and fear that existed in Cold War america directed towards evil Russia. I loved the concept tho. An 80s classic. Love how the Cuban baddie gets super sentimental towards the end. He relates to these american guirrilas. Wolverines!!!
Focusing more on the theme of teamwork and brotherhood rather than the consequences of war and invasion this 80's action flick has decent action scenes but the quiet, suspenseful, and subtle moments of dread are standout. And while each death comes only when the screenplay needs it at least the existential Cuban is a nice touch.

EXCLUSIVE: Brits who fight in Syria face life in jail
Published: 03 February 2014
Updated: 11:56, 03 February 2014
One of Britain’s top prosecutors today warned that Britons who travel to join the Syrian conflict will face prosecution and potential life sentences on their return.
Sue Hemming said it was a crime to fight in another country even if it was to topple a “loathsome” dictator such as president Bashar Assad.
The head of counter-terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service said Britons could also face charges for attending rebel training camps.
She added that further prosecutions would be brought against those yet to depart if police found evidence that they were planning to fight.
Her comments, in an interview with the Evening Standard, come as seven British residents including two London women await trial over charges connected to the Syrian conflict.
They follow a recent surge in arrests by police and a warning by the Met’s counter-terrorism chief about the growing number of young Britons either travelling to Syria or attempting to go.
Some observers have expressed surprise that “freedom fighters” seeking to oust Assad are being arrested. But Ms Hemming said the law made it clear that participation in an overseas conflict was illegal. “It is a crime for people from this country to go out and get into a conflict or go out for terrorist training,” she said, adding: “We will look at the facts in each case, but ultimately it is potentially an offence and if it’s right to prosecute then we will.
“The message for people who are considering going out there and getting involved in terrorist training or getting involved in the conflict is that they will be potentially breaking the law in this country.”
The most serious offence facing those going to Syria is Section 5 of the Terrorism Act 2006. It outlaws acts preparatory to terrorism and assisting another person in such activities. The maximum penalty is life.
Sections 6 and 8 of the legislation also make it illegal to train as a terrorist or to attend a training camp. Both offences carry up to 10 years in prison.
Ms Hemming said that terrorism was defined in law as any action driven by political, ideological, religious or racial motive which seeks to influence a government or intimidate a section of the public. This meant that attempting to topple Assad was covered. She added: “Potentially it’s an offence to go out and get involved in a conflict, however loathsome you think the people on the other side are.
“People have got views about all sorts of conflicts and all sorts of places, but our government chooses to have legislation which prevents people from joining in whichever conflict they have views about. We will apply the law robustly.”
One Syrian rebel group, the al-Nusra Front, has been outlawed by the Government for its links to al Qaeda. At least one other, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, is also connected to al Qaeda.
Training camps to prepare their fighters operate in Syria, Turkey and elsewhere. Ms Hemming said that three of the seven Britons charged with Syria-related offences would be accused of training in such camps, including one who would face an allegation of involvement with al-Nusra.
She added: “In three of the cases that we are prosecuting we allege that they have travelled there, got themselves involved in training and come back again. In one of those cases we will allege that they were going to join al-Nusra.”
Ms Hemming emphasised that it was not a crime to take part in humanitarian relief. But she warned that the flow of Britons to Syria had “all the hallmarks” of creating a terrorist danger in this country which prosecutors had a duty to tackle.
“They can meet people from terrorist organisations, particularly if they are going to join someone like al-Nusra, and they can then be a threat to this country,” she said.
“The groups fighting for the opposition are very diverse in nature: terrorist groups and other sorts of extremists.”
Scotland Yard revealed last month that Syria-related terrorism arrests are soaring with 16 so far this year, compared with 24 for all of 2013. The total number of British participants in the conflict is estimated to be in the “hundreds”, with as many as 20 thought to have died in the fighting.
Since March 2011, more than 130,000 people across Syria have been killed and nearly six million forced from their homes sparking humanitarian crises in neighbouring countries.
The conflict began with protests against four decades of Assad family rule but turned into a civil war after a crackdown by security forces.
Airport’s open door for Jihadi tourists
Richard Hall, letter from Gaziantep
THE arrivals hall at Gaziantep airport is a sparse and empty space. The few benches that run along the walls and a slowly shifting luggage carousel are its only distinguishing features. In the few times I have passed through I have never seen more than one or two bored staff.
There is nothing strange about that, one might argue, for a provincial airport in southern Turkey. But this particular airport is situated just one hour’s drive from the Syrian border. It is through this hall that all those travelling to Syria pass — journalists, aid workers, Syrians, diplomats and the occasional jihadi going to join the rebels in the fight against Bashar al-Assad.
UK security chiefs believe “several hundred” Britons have travelled to Syria so far to become jihadists, most of them joining up with the extremist, foreigner-friendly Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. It is very likely that they would have travelled through Gaziantep.
It is a well-worn route for European jihadists. After making contact with someone on the inside, the hopeful make for Kilis, a border town 40 miles down the road. Once there they await a phone call, then it’s a hop, skip and a jump over a barbed wire fence and into jihad.
There is growing concern that some of those who are going to join al-Qa’ida-linked groups in Syria may one day return to Britain to carry out attacks at home. So what is being done to prevent these young men from reaching Syria? At Gaziantep airport, the most obvious place to intercept them, very little.
On a recent flight into the airport from Istanbul, a colleague and I exchanged knowing looks as a pair of young men took their seats dressed in thawbs (the long robe worn by conservative Muslims in some Arab countries). Were they aid workers? A bit too young for that. Perhaps they were here for business... or perhaps following in the footsteps of hundreds before going to fight in Syria.
We didn’t know where our British friends were going. But because the thought had crossed our minds – even if only half seriously – it led us towe pondered how easy it might be for fighters to pass through here, with not a policeman, official or passport checker in sight. Just how seriously are the authorities taking the threat of jihadi tourism?

Several Catholics, have come to love the scripture, by-heart it, quote and use it for prayers, but what about becoming it?
Scripture describes the Lord Jesus, who is a living being, as The Word, which seems non living! It seems so ironic that God would allow Himself to be called this, but just as the Eucharist is the real body of Christ, The Word of God, is living and alive – more than you and me.
Since the Word of God is so sacred, it has phenomenal power to create, command miracles and all the elements of nature, bow down to it! However, have we ever wondered why this is so? It is because Jesus, the Son of God is the Word of God, so He perfectly embodies every precept of the Father, as His very own (showing perfect love and obedience to His Father), therefore, He is also, the one who has been put in authority over all things and is creator of all.
The point of being a Christian, is not only to be saved, but to be another Christ.
To show shallow interest in our faith, needing only to be saved, will make the Christian experience so dead, boring and even irritating – as one does not allow themselves to dive deep into grasping and enjoying its rich empowerment!
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’? (John 10:34)
Prayer, fasting, regular mass, preaching and declaring love for scripture or frequent quoting are all important – yet, in order to be like our God, what is the most important? That the Word of God must take flesh in us!
All these things we do, must assist us in embodying the precepts of God, like the Son did, so that we eventually, become, another Christ. We cannot give greater glory to God than this; to imitate His very nature, precepts to the core and in faith. It tells our Father, that we love His Wisdom, how He thinks, operates and His very being – that we want to be more like Him. So, to begin with, we are willing to leave behind our ways, to embody His.
This also gives Him, joyful tears of satisfaction for His extreme labour in pulling us out of the wrong path and moving us to the right one, which made Him endure the worst death, so He could feed us His flesh – only that we would become more like Him. Therefore if He gave Himself to us, we ought to give ourselves back to Him, as we originate from Him.
In the end, to be more like Jesus, is to be life giving and really living, to follow the ways of the fallen one, is to be self seeking, unquenchably thirsty and like a dead-man walking.
Science – is an understanding of “how things work” – as per God’s principles:
The action of all creatures under nature, are governed by a natural law/order, that God has created. This works in both the physical and spiritual realm.
When a seed is planted in good soil, watered and supplied with heat/light – we expect it grows from root to plant – nothing surprising or amazing in this. We call this biology. Yet this biology/branch of science, is actually God’s law on how he devised, such definite outcomes, from the coming together of certain elements, etc.
In the same way, in a spiritual realm, when the Word is planted in the soil of our hearts (which we try to keep pure by de-weeding), showered with prayers of grace and warmed with practicing deeds of love – the definite, outcome, as decreed by God, is that a person grows from cradle Catholic, to a strong, powerful, anointed light of Christ. This too, should be no surprising outcome, because, this is a very “natural” phenomena, as per God’s science of how the soul grows/flourishes.
Why be faithful and embody the Word; what are the advantages of doing so?
Since Jesus is the living Word, we need to become the living Bible. Just as our body is made up of blood and plasma, similarly our souls must be composed of scripture, in other words, the precepts of God, should be our mental makeup – the mental makeup of Christ.
These precepts are not just laws per se, they are the very nature of God, His perfect Trinitarian way of living. It causes us to love our Father, ourselves and others, perfectly – unlike any law of a country. Because being laws of love, they are also life giving and uplifting, when practiced out in brotherly love – especially to those who live without hope. This has a far greater outcome, than the secular laws of a country.
The more one imitates Christ, in following Him – not only through daily prayers, but in allowing the Word to take flesh in us, the more we become divine. We too will be empowered with fruits and therefore, more charisms, doing such works that are even greater than Jesus (as He said), to bring God’s miracles, healing and life to a lifeless world.
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
The more we embrace and love His precepts and practice them, the more our thinking will change from centering it on ourselves and our family, to longing, thirsting and thinking about the good of the community or people (as well). Automatically, blessings and doors that were shut before will open, new opportunities will come up, that will bless us but more importantly, use us as channels to be a blessing to others and further God’s kingdom. Yet, we will be tested more and more along the way, in proving to be more faithful, with the little that He starts to give us, so that He can entrust greater things to us.
The more we have the precepts of God, the more Wisdom we acquire and the more we see things like He does – for which reason, we will automatically be detached and joyfully state: I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ (Philippians 3:8). If we think about this, we may not like the idea, but the freedom in not desiring such wants, nor what the world thinks about us, is so great a confidence God can grant us, that it fills us with true happiness.
If we truly want to enjoy our Christian life and get full benefit out of it, by following these precepts, we will also be like Saint Paul (another Christ), have such seemingly supernatural faith and declare:
Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church (Colossians 1:24).
Suffering will not make us gloomy, nor tearful, nor tremble, rather we will confidently give glory to God like Paul and Silas. We will be at such peace, that it will bring God’s power into us and where we are, which will shake the hellish prison walls that clutch us (as it did for Paul and Silas).
A true Catholic is one who when he says loves the Word, loves the precepts of God. When we see the life of Jesus, He walked His talk (the Word), because Jesus is all about His precepts. In fact, the very reason Adam and Eve had a fall out with God, is because they failed to follow His precepts. Hence, Jesus came to teach us the precepts and He lived them out, ultimately going as far as dying, to make reparation for us going against these precepts/Him – because they are so important. To ensure that we do not go the Adam and Eve way, He wrote them in our hearts with the ink of His sacrificial blood, fed us with these precepts (consuming His body) and poured out His Spirit – all that we may embody His laws perfectly in ourselves, firstly by having love for Him and His nature.
Even though the Word of God, came to mankind from the start of creation, the Old Testament, the earlier followers, had a hard time accepting its precepts and continually sinned against it. Centuries later (after several falls from not following the Word, including being exiled in Babylon), Jesus came to create a healthy appetite for us, to digest the Word (by writing the law in our heart) and finally feeding it to us, with His body.
Worship most Pleasing to God – is based on Scripture and its principles:
As a Catholic, you may have heard (even from Jesus’ revelations to saints) that, the Mass is the greatest form of worship which pleases God.
The Mass is such a structured banquet, that starts with Catholics cleansing themselves before the meal, preparing to receive it, participating completely and finally feeding on the living Word, as given below:
Firstly we begin Mass, by being sorry for not following the precepts by sinning, we renounce this in the Penitential Act.
Thereafter with cleansed hearts and anointed hearing, we once again absorb the Liturgy of the Word (the three readings), which highlight the ways of God. This is broken down for us to understand, through the homily.
We give God the offering of our life’s labour and ourselves, that He may take it and inscribe with His ink of blood, His Word, transubstantiating it into Himself.
Finally, we feed on this Living Word and His life-giving precepts, through the Holy Eucharist.
This is the kind of worship that pleases God the most and it is all centered on the Living Word, that aims to live in us, through repentance, listening and consuming it.
The dynamism of God:
God is a supernatural being, whom we will always be learning about, (more and more) and this learning will never stop even in eternity.
“And eternal life means knowing you, the only true God, and knowing Jesus Christ, whom you sent.” John 17:3
One of the reasons God the Creator is so dynamic, is because His work, is superlative, that no one can even fathom how He could create all these things, nor can they come anywhere close to mimicking a fraction of His works. Yet, it is not only because He is a powerful supernatural being, but because at His core, He is perfect love, and that is why all His physical works are dynamic.
Meaning, if human beings were creators, they would create things for themselves and be happy. However, because God is Agape (love), His creation plans a complete ecosystem for all creatures to receive love, in which all creation is not only breathtakingly beautiful but duly compliments the other, by serving others.
The sun gives energy to all, plants that create oxygen, medicine, fragrance and food, animals that take from it and humans that feed on it for sustenance from all of this and give back to the earth, their contribution – all in all, a ecosystem of love (especially when we follow it to the tee). All this perfect planning of creation, in harmony and love, cannot come from a selfish thinking heart, but from a mind and heart, that contains, pure, perfect, dynamic love, as its core value, behind everything.
In fact, His love is so unselfish, as He knows none of these things in nature, could physically benefit Him! Which human would want to work so hard to create something and keep looking after it (with all its faltering), without having any personal gain from it? The only take back that God wants from this is, that we learn to love perfectly!
This is why God’s creation is so superlative and successful and we being fallen, can only at best, copy a little of these great ways from our Father.
Therefore a heart that fills itself more with His precepts, will really become more dynamic and a visionary (unlike one that is closed to a change of heart). This eventually changes the mind which is refreshed by God, with dynamic ideas to change the world for the better (e.g. Saint Francis of Assisi who changed from living for himself to be a servant for others and touch thousands).
So a person who embodies these precepts, will start to do dynamic things, that positively impact and influence others, creating greater waves of goodness and giving life to many others. This will not only be good for that time, but will have a lasting effect through the centuries – because the hand of the eternal God is in it!
For example, legendary seeming people like Saint Mother Teresa, whose fertile heart of love, started spreading goodness to a few others. This impacted others (of other religions too), to help and thereafter open centers worldwide, which continue to serve the marginalized. The life she put into her work, was so alive, it continues to have a life of its own, that never dies, even after its founder passed on.
Saint Paul, who changed to be such a second Christ, that, till today, his works and deeds and life are celebrated, marveled and studied, for the rich wisdom and secrets he had on being truly happy, with the least and in the greatest sufferings.
The Best way for the Word to become flesh in us:
God chose the apostles to be the first to let the Word become flesh in them. He did not do this by forcing them to obey, but by love and friendship with Him. When they first met and asked Him, where He lived, He invited them to come and see.
They changed because they realized looking at His lifestyle (though He was not a rich man), He had an inner glory, wisdom, richness and perfection. They compared it to what they were holding on to, sinful attitudes, ego, anger, revengefulness, including their little riches, profession. This seemed silly and powerless, compared to what He had. Slowly all these ways of His (precepts) and His love, transformed them to see with maturity (and dislike their old ways, almost as if it was bad fashion).
We too can have a lifelong Jesus experience, by holding on to the crux of the Word, always being in personal prayerful friendship, placing long distance “phone calls” to the living Eucharist to speak to Him (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd7YbWyPcQo) and listening back to Him in inspiration.

It was 22nd of September, 2007. A Rock'n'Roll festival, under the name 2500 Pounds of Heavenly Joy, took place at Ravintolalaiva Waiski, a three floor bar-restaurant, which is located on a boat.
The first band was the Jolly Be Goode - a typical Finnish Rock'n'Roll band with a rough sound, which is not my favourite style. The first songs made me think about what I was doing here and I had a strong wish to go back to the hotel. But some minutes later I was already used to the Jolly Be Goode style of playing and began to feel a kind of pleasure in it.
The next band, The Mighty Four, was the reason for us to come here - and we really enjoyed it! From the first minute they appeared on the stage, we had the feeling of flying sixty years back. All of the guys had stylish 40s suits on and, also seeing the upright bass on the stage (instead of bass guitar), made me to think that this band had got nothing in common with the previous one. 7, 8, 9, 10 and… right, the music started! Not JUST music, but very good music! Swinging tunes gave me a dancing feeling inside and I could not help but come closer to see the band properly and hopefully film a couple of videos. Well known covers, such as Rocket to the Moon, Sherry Flip and Hully Gully, were performed brilliant as well as their own songs, which took most of their set. You can also hear the best part of what they performed on their cds; four songs were taken from the last recording which is called “Slugs, Thugs and Corn Jugs”. The main vocalist is bass player Ari Berhall, but some of the songs were performed also by Petty Palmu (who, by the way, plays sax in the band). The drummer enthusistically did his job, while the other three members of The Mighty Four had fun moving in rhythm (in front of relaxed and a bit lazy audience) and occasionally coming down to the dance floor and doing tricks with their instruments. Applause followed every single song; some people danced and everyone seemed to enjoy the show. But in my opinion it could not be any other way!
After a short break the Mighty Four guitar player returned to the stage and two members of the next band, Doctor’s Order, joined him. This band, unfortunately, did not impress me very much (though Finnish people were delighted). Besides I felt a bit tired (and chilly), so we decided to go back to the hotel and have a rest… one week already passed, but I still have this pleasant feeling after the party in Helsinki.


In a wonderful dose of advertising irony this message now adorns the trains and walkways of the London Underground system, the giant billboards surrounding the financial district and wider across the country, just in case the banks and stockbrokers and hedge funders, the ones who are still employed that is, needed reminding of the current global situation.
In the last year the UK FTSE stock market went from 6721 down to a low of 3861, the UK pound dropping from $2.02 to $1.54, apparently upsetting UK tourists holidaying in America.
In the first six months of 2008 Prime Minister Gordon Brown borrowed £37 billion to keep the country afloat, which was the equivalent of the total government borrowing in 2007. But the sheer weight of the loan seems to have capsized the nation, bailing out £600 billion to the rat-like bankers who are on the verge of calling out, “abandon ship, godammit, every man for himself”, but not until they have cashed in their retirement plans and golden handshake accounts.

As British Beatlemania exploded in the fall of 1963, there was little time for [lastfm link_type=”artist_info”]the Beatles[/lastfm] to savor it. As November began, they embarked on an autumn tour of Britain, which had them playing nearly every night for six weeks. Read about one week in the life, after the jump.
Early November took the Beatles to Cheltenham, Sheffield, and Leeds, before they appeared at the Royal Command Performance on November 4. With no time to rest, they played four shows in the next two days. The following day, they hopped over to Ireland, where they performed in Dublin and Belfast, the only shows they would ever play on the Emerald Isle. After the Irish gigs, it was back to England for a second pair of shows in two of the same towns they had played four nights before. A show on November 10 in Birmingham ended a most hectic week, but not before the Beatles had to escape the crowd in Birmingham disguised as policemen.
The Beatles got a day off on Monday, November 11, but Brian Epstein was busy. He had flown to the United States a week before, but on this day he met with TV impresario Ed Sullivan and negotiated appearances on Sullivan’s variety show for the Beatles and for [lastfm link_type=”artist_info”]Gerry and the Pacemakers[/lastfm], another Epstein group.
Back on November 3, the Daily Express newspaper had opined that Beatlemania served only to “fill empty heads.” Continuous reports on a Beatle’s cold would likely do nothing to change their opinion. On the 11th, [lastfm link_type=”artist_info”]Paul McCartney[/lastfm] came down with a cold that forced the postponement of a show scheduled for the 12th, and resulted in hour-by-hour news bulletins on his condition. Paul was sufficiently recovered by the next day, November 13, for the Beatles to continue their tour, And for another month, the band criss-crossed Britain, playing 26 shows in the next 31 days.
On November 20, 1963, the Beatles played in Manchester, England, and British newsreel cameras were there to record it.

The 31-year-old reality TV star, who hired celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, cites irreconcilable differences and wants the court to reject any move by Kris to get spousal support, documents posted by TMZ show. They reportedly signed a prenuptial agreement.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage," Kardashian said in a statement to Ryan Seacrest. "I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best."
The pair began dating in December 2010, got engaged in May and married in August. Their wedding was televised on E! as a two-part special, which some 4.39 million people and 3.98 million watched on Oct. 9 and 10, respectively.
News of the couple's divorce reportedly took E!, by surprise and the network was said to be holding emergency meetings Monday to figure out how to handle the split, a network spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter. Shooting has already wrapped on Season 2 of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, during which cameras reportedly captured Kardashian and Humphries agreeing to take a break. As of Monday, E! is not set to film Kardashian's upcoming business trip to Australia, leaving it unclear whether there will be footage of fallout from the split.
The meetings will also establish whether E! plans to rerun the couple's wedding special, which was scheduled to air again on Monday and Tuesday.
This will be the second divorce for Kardashian who split from music producer Damon Thomas in 2004.
It didn't take long before the news led to a flurry of celebrities weighing in on Twitter. Among them: Ice-T (@finallevel): "Wow! I just heard Kim Kardashian is getting a divorce after only 72 days of marriage???..... I bet she keeps that ring."

Summary We describe the presumably first intentional ABO-incompatible deceased-donor kidney and pancreas transplantation with a severe antibody-mediated rejection during a rebound of isoagglutinins. Rejection was successfully treated with eculizumab, which inhibits the terminal pathway of complement. Complement analysis (C3, C3d,g, and a modified assay of classical complement-related hemolytic function) documented complement activation and confirmed that eculizumab completely blocked complement function. At 6 months, the patient had normal kidney and pancreas function, and histological evaluations revealed no evidence of sustained graft damage. This successful transplantation suggests that ABO barriers can safely be overcome without extensive preconditioning, when the complement inhibitor eculizumab is included.
Pancreas transplantation provides a cure for patients with severe diabetes, with excellent long-term results . However, in our experience, efficient local allocation of pancreas allografts is sometimes hampered by the need for blood-type compatibility between donor and recipient. In this respect, pancreas allografts have been discarded in some cases because of a positive donor-specific crossmatch in blood group-compatible recipients. On the other hand, crossmatch-negative recipients with an incompatible blood group have not been considered suitable candidates. We have now assessed transplantation across ABO barriers as a possible strategy for addressing the apparent underutilization of potentially suitable pancreas allografts. The current case delineates a strategy for prompt reversal and monitoring of complement activation in the event of humoral immune response after ABO-incompatible transplantation.
Patient and methods
A 43-year-old Caucasian man suffering from poorly controlled Type I diabetes mellitus and terminal renal failure underwent an ABO-incompatible (phenotype A1 to O) PNTx with grafts from a deceased 29-year-old donor. The baseline isoagglutinin titers were 1:4. The complement-dependent cytotoxic- as well as flow-cytometric crossmatches were negative. Serial Luminex assays of serum samples from days 0, 10, 38 and 53 were performed and excluded the presence of donor-specific HLA antibodies.
Antibody removal and immunosuppression
A single session of plasma exchange was performed prior to the transplantation followed by serial antigen-specific immunoadsorptions (IA) (Glycorex Transplantation AB, Lund, Sweden). Isoagglutinin titers were assessed using the gel card method . Rituximab at 375 mg/m2 body surface area was given on days 0. As a result of an incomplete depletion of CD20-positive B-cells (measured using flow-cytometry immunophenotyping), a second dose of rituximab was given on day 7 resulting in total depletion of remaining B-cells. Basiliximab at 20 mg was given as induction treatment on days 0 and 4. Immunosuppression included tacrolimus (12-h target trough level 10–12 ng/ml), mycophenolate mofetil [12-h target ‘area under the curve’ 30–50 (mg/l) × h] and steroids. Eculizumab was used as rescue treatment for antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) at 600 mg/day on days 10 and 14.
C3d,g was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) . C3 was assessed using nephelometry (Beckman Coulter Immage, Ramsey, MA, USA). The C3d,g/C3 ratio was calculated as an indicator of complement activation [4,5]. A modified single-tube assay to detect classical complement pathway (CPP)-related hemolytic function was performed as previously described .
The initial postoperative recovery was uneventful. IA-treatments were performed on days 0 and 1, and thereafter isoagglutinins were zero. On day 6, isoagglutinin levels were elevated, and IA was started on a daily basis (Fig. 1a–e). Despite intensified IA-treatments, isoagglutinin titers increased to 1:32 on day 9. Concomitantly, the patient presented with acute abdominal pain accompanied by rapid increase of C-reactive protein. A re-operation excluded graft-related surgical complications. An intraoperative kidney biopsy showed peritubular capillaritis with dilated vessels containing inflammatory cells, a moderate amount of macrophages in the interstitium and a distinctive peritubular C4d deposition (Fig. 2a–c). Luminex assays showed no donor-specific HLA antibodies. On day 10, the patient received 600 mg eculizumab, and the CPP value dropped to 0% on day 11. The second and final dose of eculizumab (600 mg) was given on day 14, when CPP value increased to 20%. On day 18, CPP values consistently increased to normal range. IA was discontinued on day 25.
At 3 months, biopsies of the kidney and the attached duodenal segment of the pancreas showed no signs of rejection. At the 6-month follow-up, the patient had a plasma creatinine of 77 μmol/l, cystatin-C GFR of 106 ml/min/1.73 m2, HbA1c of 37 mmol/mol and normal oral glucose tolerance. A further biopsy of the attached duodenal segment at 6 months showed normal histological architecture and no inflammation.
As a result of the increased risk for Neisseria meningitidis in connection with eculizumab treatment , the patient received 3 months of prophylactic treatment with phenoxymethylpenicillin at 1 g/day.
The role of antibodies in AMR involves the activation of the complement cascade via the classical pathway cleavage of C3 into C3b and C3a, and the downstream formation of the membrane attack complex SC5b-9 . This mechanism has been shown to be responsible for the speed and severity of AMR and cell injury [9–11]. Eculizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody against complement factor C5 that prevents generation of SC5b-9 during complement activation [12,13].
In this report, we describe an intentional ABO-incompatible deceased-donor PNTx between a blood Type A1 donor and 0-recipient. As a result of its documented significance during the humoral immune response, we monitored complement activation by determining the C3d,g/C3 ratio and CPP percentage, and we included eculizumab as rescue treatment to immediately block complement function at the C5 level in the event of AMR.
In deceased-donor transplantation logistics during organ allocation and the legitimate demand for short ischemia time restrain the possibilities for time-consuming preconditioning. In our experience, the preoperative management can therefore not include more than one plasma exchange pre-transplant. In the current report, the recipient was selected because of his low baseline isoagglutinin titers, and therefore there was no mandatory need for a preoperative plasma exchange. However, we considered the following aspects of the perioperative management to be important to increase the safety margin of the procedure: (i) induction with single plasma exchange and rituximab and (ii) maintenance immunosuppression adopted from a successful protocol for ABO-incompatible living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) including regular postoperative antigen-specific IA . Given this strategy, we assumed AMR to be unlikely, and therefore chose to use eculizumab primarily as a rescue treatment.
Despite the measures taken to minimize the risk of humoral complications, the patient experienced a distinct biopsy-verified AMR on day 9, when the isoagglutinins increased to 1:32. The occurrence of humoral rejection during rebound of isoagglutinins and the absence of HLA-antibodies prompted us to assume ABO reactivity. However, a non-HLA mediated humoral rejection such as a vascular endothelial-cell antigen–antibody mediated rejection could not be excluded.
The pivotal role of complement as the key inflammatory mediator during AMR was demonstrated by the observation that both the kidney function and the severe inflammatory response were rapidly normalized after a single administration of eculizumab (600 mg) on day 10. The rapid drop in the CPP value to 0% and the consistent decrease in the C3d,g/C3 ratio also pointed to a distinct complement-inhibitory and anti-inflammatory effect of eculizumab (Fig. 1a–e).
Accommodation is a well-known phenomenon that is defined as the absence of graft injury despite the presence of antigen on endothelial cells and the corresponding antibody in the circulation. In ABO-incompatible LDKT, short-term protection from AMR is provided by temporary removal of isoagglutinins during preconditioning. In this scenario, accommodation is established within 1–2 weeks after transplantation . However, unlike LDKT, whole pancreas transplantation has similarity with composite allograft transplantation, as it consists of pancreatic and intestinal tissue. According to a United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) registry survey, four ABO-incompatible intestine transplantations have been performed until 2009 and all of them have failed . Kenmochi et al. presented more encouraging outcome after living-donor segmental pancreas transplantation in three patients undergoing preconditioning . On the basis of these limited data, we considered the attached duodenal segment of the pancreas to be more vulnerable to graft injury during ABO reactivity. Considering the empirical knowledge of accommodation, we reasoned that short-term protection from AMR by suppression of complement function might be beneficial to reduce the risk for sustained graft injury in the kidney and the composite tissue of the pancreas allograft. Hence, we used CPP as an analytical tool to monitor complement function and to guide the second pre-emptive administration of eculizumab, which was given on day 14, when the test indicated recovery of the complement function. After 1 week of total suppression, the patient’s complement function had recovered and reached full capacity within a few days.
At the 3-month and 6-month follow-up, the patient had normal pancreatic and renal function. Furthermore, the histological evaluations of the kidney and the attached duodenal segment of the pancreas showed no rejection and confirmed the absence of sustained graft injury.
This report exemplifies the pivotal role of complement as the key inflammatory mediator during AMR. It indicates that ABO-incompatible deceased-donor transplantations, per se, are likely to be feasible and safe, provided that the protocol includes eculizumab as complement activation inhibitor. Furthermore, this is the first report suggesting that pancreas and its attached duodenal segment might not be vulnerable to sustained graft injury after ABO-incompatible transplantation with a severe rejection.

Hours after Standard & Poor's decision to strip the U.S. of its prized triple-A rating late Friday, China issued some harsh statements warning Washington lawmakers to “cure its addiction to debts” and “live within its means.”
The global rating agency, which said Friday it was dissatisfied with the plan Congress came up with earlier in the week to reduce the country's debt, downgraded the nation’s coveted AAA long-term credit rating and lowered it by one notch to AA-plus.
This is the first time the U.S. credit rating has fallen below the highest level, triple A. The U.S. has held the rating since 1917.
“The downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenge,” S&P said in its report.
The world is watching the U.S. economic problems implode and S&P’s announcement spread like wildfire across the global market scene.
The downgrade is a major embarrassment for the Obama administration and could raise the cost of US government borrowing. This could trickle down to higher interest rates for local governments and individuals, economists said Saturday.
Financial experts from across the globe are now commenting negatively on Washington's last-minute deal to slow down the ballooning growth of America's debt and that it was obviously not enough to please the agency.
For Asian governments, the downgrade is bad news especially for China, which is the largest holder of U.S. debt.
"The spluttering world economic recovery would be very likely to be undermined and fresh rounds of financial turmoil could come back to haunt us all," Chinese newspapers said Saturday.
Any disruptions to the U.S. economy, a major market for Asian exporters, would have serious implications for Asia's economy, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Jiang Xufeng with China’s official Xinhua news agency wrote a harsh opinion on Saturday basically scolding U.S. lawmakers.
Xufeng writes "the U.S. government has relied on borrowing to fund its operations in recent decades and has seldom carried out a serious fiscal austerity plan."
“That's why its debt ceiling has been raised 78 times to 14.29 trillion dollars since 1960."
Legal analysts say Beijing will probably continue to purchase United States Treasury bonds.
However, Chinese officials are clearly concerned that China’s substantial holdings of American debt, worth at least $1.1 trillion, is being devalued.
“The U.S. government has to come to terms with the painful fact that the good old days when it could just borrow its way out of messes of its own making are finally gone,” the commentary in the Chinese newspaper said.
The only good news, analysts say, is that if China pulls back from purchasing Treasuries, the dollar would weaken and America’s borrowing costs would rise sharply, but that would also hurt China’s existing holdings.
“International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced and a new stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country,” the commentary said.
U.S. lawmakers cannot say they were not warned that its coveted rating was in danger of a downgrade.
Standard & Poor's issued the sternest of warnings even during Congress' messy negotiations earlier in the week.
Financial experts said the agency was "under tremendous pressure not to downgrade" even after lawmakers reached a deal.
Late Friday, the company notified the Treasury that it planned to “issue a downgrade after the markets closed,” and sent the department a copy of the announcement.
Stephen B. Meister with the New York Post also warned lawmakers earlier this week that the rating agencies know there’s simply “no way to truly implement significant spending cuts without reforming Social Security. And the tools to do it are out there: increasing the retirement age, reducing inflation adjustments, means testing and more.”
Meister said the credit raters will know the polls lack the will to make the cuts real.
“Let's get real … the ratings agencies know this eleventh-hour deal won't cure our addiction to borrowing - so get ready to lose that AAA rating, Uncle Sam,” he said before Congress approved the bill this week.
Experts said that without strong economic growth and job creation, it would be difficult for the United States to generate robust revenue increases and improve its fiscal condition over the long run.
Economists said Saturday that Japan, the second largest creditor to the U.S. after China, believes the U.S. Treasury is still a good investment despite the S&P move this week.
"The trust we have in U.S. Treasury and their attractiveness as an investment will not change because of this action," a senior Japanese government official told Dow Jones Newswires.
Yoon Jong-won, a senior official at South Korea's Ministry of Strategy and Finance, told Dow Jones that while the credit downgrade isn't a good news, local authorities "will first watch the market and see how it reacts to the downgraded rating."
"It's not clear how much additional shock this downgrade will bring," Jong-won told Dow Jones.
"We'll first have to see how the U.S. market reacts to the news in terms of how big a movement in capital occurs there and at what pace."
What is the bottom line?
The bottom line is that the S&P's downgrade could lead investors to demand higher interest rates from the federal government and other borrowers, raising costs for governments, businesses and home buyers, according to financial analysts quoted in The New York Times.
Many analysts confirmed Saturday that the impact could be minimal because the other ratings agencies, Moody’s and Fitch, have decided not to downgrade the U.S. government right now.
S&P’s bad news came after markets closed for the weekend and there was no evidence of any immediate moves to opt out of big U.S. investments.
A spokesman for the Federal Reserve told The New York Times Saturday that S&P’s decision would not affect the ability of banks to borrow money by pledging government debt as collateral.
Downgrade or no downgrade, the economy will survive, most economists are saying. Even with a downgrade, the U.S. Treasury bonds will remain about the safest investment around.
“In the end losing the coveted AAA rating might actually be a good thing for America, because once U.S. debt is no longer considered 'risk-free,' politicians will have to think twice before making 'unsustainable spending commitments,'" The Economist reports.
S&P’s announcement makes clear, the inadequacy of the debt deal was not their only motivation to issue the downgrade.
"It was the the reckless and divisive battle that preceded it," The Economist said today.
"Absent the toxic politics that infected the debate, we could have hammered out a deal that stabilized the debt without squeezing the economy too much in the near term. After all, Britain, Germany and even Italy seem able to do so, and we have in the past, too. Investors won't learn much new from S&P's announcement. Politicians should."
Job creation and growth are pressing tasks for the nation now more than ever before.
Americans don’t like the debt ceiling deal lawmakers agreed to, they do not like the way Washington is handling the economy, and confidence in our political leaders is low and getting lower, according to recent Rasmussen polls.
Only 38 percent of investors now believe their investment portfolio is worth more than it was a year ago, according to the Rasmussen Consumer Index today.
Given a choice of investment options, investors are more likely to place new investment money in a savings account than the stock market.
Ironically, even though the downgrade happened on President Obama’s watch, most voters think he has a good chance of being reelected next year anyway, Rasmussen reports.
One tough lesson the U.S is learning is more along the lines of an optimistic take.
Behavior of the markets and record disapproval ratings will force Congress to acknowledge the "idiocy of their recent behavior and to adapt by substituting compromise for brinkmanship."
Standard and Poor's said it will issue separate releases on Monday concerning affected ratings in the funds, government-related entities, financial institutions, insurance, public finance, and structured finance sectors.

The different types of amnesia (and its characteristics)
The amnesia it is a disorder that affects the normal functioning of memory and makes the sufferer unable to store information or recover it correctly.
However, beyond this brief definition there are many nuances that make us speak, more than amnesia as a global concept, of types of amnesia.
Amnesia can take different forms
Amnesia can occur in so many ways that studies of certain injuries and dysfunctions In different parts of the brain it has been discovered the mechanisms that operate behind the use of memory from the different types of amnesia that are presented.
In addition, this phenomenon may be caused by injuries or by the "emotional footprint" that have left in the brain certain experiences, causing some memories to be blocked. This means that the types of amnesia can also be established according to the different causes that produce them. In this way we have seen that, what seems to be a simple cognitive function based simply on the storage of information is, in reality, the result of several processes that work at the same time.
In this article we will show the different types of amnesia, their characteristics and criteria by which they can be classified into different categories .
1. Types of amnesia according to their chronology
If we look at the criteria of the chronology in which amnesia is manifested, we will distinguish between two types of amnesia: the retrograde and the antegrade . This classification only serves to describe the symptoms of amnesia, and does not give information about what causes it. In addition, both types of amnesia can be produced at the same time, although many times one is more noticeable than the other.
1.1. Retrograde amnesia
In retrograde amnesia the experiences that are not remembered happened before starting to develop this disorder . It is the most well-known type of amnesia and is expressed in series, films and other works of fiction in which a character does not remember a part of his past.
1.2. Antegrade amnesia
In this type of amnesia There is a total or partial inability to make the experiences that are lived remain fixed in the memory . That is to say, that the anterograde amnesia, by affecting what is happening since the disorder first developed, means that what is being lived does not become part of the long-term memory and is forgotten after a few minutes or seconds.
An example of this type of amnesia can be seen in the famous film Memento.
2. Types of amnesia according to their causes
2.1. Global Amnesia
This type of amnesia consists of the total loss of memory , although usually the most important memories related to one's identity will be kept. Among its most probable causes is the possibility that a traumatic event has altered the normal functioning of the brain.
2.2. Amnesia of childhood
Consists in the inability to remember events experienced in childhood . Despite its name, this type of amnesia is not considered a disorder, as it is common and is part of the normal development of the nervous system as it grows.
2.3. Drug-induced amnesia
Type of amnesia produced by the administration of substances that affect the functioning of the brain causing that the events that happen at that moment are not remembered. It can be a side effect of a drug or it can be the purpose with which a substance has been supplied for therapeutic purposes during, for example, surgery.
2.4. Transient global amnesia
It is not known what produces this type of amnesia, only its symptoms. The person who experiences transient global amnesia will remember the essential aspects about their identity and will also be able to remember things about the immediate past, but will have difficulty accessing memories about what happened just minutes ago (anterograde amnesia) and possibly also when remembering some things belonging to long-term memory. This will happen for 24 hours or less.
2.5. Dissociative amnesia
In dissociative amnesia one is unable to evoke memories related to highly stressful or traumatic experiences. One of the types of amnesia that generate more interest.
2.6. Amnesia font
In this type of amnesia there are certain data or pieces of information that are remembered more or less well , although you are not able to know what your source is, how you have come to know about them.
2.7. Lacunar amnesia
The inability to remember what happened during a given period in which there was no significant stress peak . It is called in this way because it leaves a blank "gap" in the memory.
2.8. Posttraumatic amnesia
Posttraumatic or traumatic amnesia is a type of amnesia produced by a blow to the head or a traumatic brain injury in general . It is used to be transient and to affect the memories of the immediate past. Do not confuse posttraumatic amnesia with the forms of amnesia that appear as a result of traumatic experiences.
2.9. Dissociative leak
This type of amnesia, very common in cases of dementia, the person can realize that he is in a place without remembering how he got there . In the dissociative escape, in addition, it is very common that aspects of one's identity are not remembered, causing the person to undertake a more or less long journey to remember who he is.
2.10. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
Although it is not a type of amnesia per se, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome is a set of symptoms in which memory disorders play a very important role. Among its most common symptoms is or a combination of retrograde and antegrade amnesia and confabulation , that is, the involuntary invention of stories that serve to "fill in" the memory gaps. It is usually caused by alcoholism.

An escaped prisoner stayed on the run for six weeks after buying a cheap car and parking in an industrial estate at night.
Corey Duffy, 24, was finally caught in St Ann's while a passenger in a car driven by another man, Nottingham Crown Court heard.
He walked out of an open prison where he should have been serving a nine-year term for wounding. This was imposed by the city court in 2015.
A new nine-month prison term was imposed on Duffy. He pleaded guilty to escaping from lawful custody of Sudbury Prison, south Derbyshire on August 6.
Jon Fountain, prosecuting, said that a midnight roll call was carried out by prison staff who found that Duffy had "left the premises."
When stopped in a car on September 13, he gave false details but was arrested with the car driver. Further checks revealed his identity.
He then admitted that he had been an inmate of the open prison, leaving without permission. Mr Fountain said: "He stated the reason was fear for his personal safety due to a debt he owed others in the prison."
Enquiries were made to see if people had been harbouring him while he was on the run. But Mr Fountain added: "He purchased a cheap car and was sleeping rough in an industrial estate since the time he absconded.
"There was no significant degree of planning to gain entry out of Sudbury."
Chris Hogg, mitigating, said Duffy had left the open prison after facing threats.
"He felt this was the only way to deal with the matter.
"He had worked hard to get to an open prison and was working at a Marks' and Spencer warehouse and had been promoted," added Mr Hogg.
Judge Stuart Rafferty QC told Duffy: "I have no way of knowing whether the concern is true or not but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and accept it was.
"You have managed to get to another prison which hopefully will keep you out of danger and out of further trouble."
Duffy's earliest release date had been March 31, 2019. This new term must be served on top of it but he can expect to be freed after serving half of the nine months. Then he will be on licence and checked by probation officers.
He followed the court hearing via a video link from the prison which now holds him.

A long time ago I studied medicine. I can’t remember when I decided to become a doctor, but for as long as I can remember I’ve envisioned that moment where I would save a life.
As it turned out, on my hospital assignments, I realized the job wasn’t for me, so I quit after five years. The hardest part about making this decision was giving up the dream of being able to save lives.
But here I am, over 25 years later, with no medical school in sight and I have had the honor of saving 12 lives and hopefully more will follow as we are a canine foster family.
I guess you could say we unofficially started mining about 15 years ago. My little sister has sincerely told her friends that I would love to take care of their dog while they go on vacation for three weeks.
The couple lived in the Midlands and commuted to work in Dublin every day. This meant the dog was alone for most of the day. So, long story short, this dog is currently lying next to me on the mat and snoring.
He’s almost 20 years old now and still going strong. He’s not as stable on the pins as he used to be and his joints are a bit stiff in the mornings, similar to mine. The vet says he might have a hint of dementia, but it’s hard to say. It was never the sharpest knife in the drawer.
He’s a cross between a Belgian Malinois and a Border Collie (we think) and he’s the sweetest soul I’ve ever met. No matter what creature walks through the door, he greets them all with a wagging tail.
I’ve never heard him growl – except when he’s asleep. I don’t know what he’s growling in his dreams, but whatever it is, it’s making his right hind leg walk independently of the other three.
Then came Tobi. The curse of my life. Toby is a small black wire haired terrier mix and a little brat. He’s the kind of dog that’s a natural bully. Small Dog Syndrome. There’s no junk he doesn’t want. German shepherds, pit bulls, it doesn’t matter. He will take her. I’m sure he has prison tattoos under his fur. All he lacks is a switchblade and a set of brass knuckles. I
started promoting officially about six years ago. One day I just emailed the DSPCA to become a nurse. Within a few weeks Nina arrived. She was a greyhound who had been found straying with a large cut on her flank. She came to stay with us while she recovered.
I had never been near a lurcher. I got the impression they were energetic dogs that would spend all their time zooming around and needing lots of exercise. As it turned out, I was very wrong. Nina just lay in her bed the whole time. I thought she might have clinical depression. I started to worry until I learned that lurchers are rotten lumps.
I didn’t know what drama queens they were either. Nina had a blood test during one of her check-ups. From her howling and wailing in the treatment room, I thought they were going to kill her. Lesson number two, lurchers are prima donnas. A bit like a Premiership footballer; the slightest injury and they fall to the ground, writhing in pain.
Boss was next and is why we love pit bulls. Boss and his two Yorkshire Terrier siblings were found tied up in the back yard of a house after their owners moved out and abandoned them. Not uncommon as it turns out. Dogs are left without shelter, food and water. Left there to die.
It always amazes me how cruel people can be. The lady was found with pellets under her skin and cigarette burns. Martha was bred to the point where her womb had prolapsed. Sadie spent the first three years of her life tied up in a dark shed. She has been left so traumatized that she cannot be transferred from her current foster home. She’s one of those people who are so badly broken that the scars never heal.
When I first met Boss, he was so scared that he crawled up to me on his stomach and begged me with his big brown eyes not to hurt him. We all fell head over heels in love with him. He just wanted to be curled up by the fire, or better yet, curled up with a human.
And the Zoomies were hilarious. We’d watch him run back and forth between the bushes in the yard, driving Toby insane. And there’s a reason they’re called the “nanny breed.” I’ve never seen racial bonding in children so quickly. You have a natural parental streak.
I won’t say we didn’t have our hiccups. We didn’t know anything about pit bulls until Boss. We didn’t understand that sometimes they can love too much. He started protecting me and my youngest daughter. I thought it was cute, but he ended up pinching my husband’s leg – an occupational hazard. Boss was immediately signed up for training and I was overwhelmed by how quickly he understood.
Boss was eventually adopted by a couple in Sweden. Because they were small and fluffy, his siblings were quickly adopted here, but no one wanted Boss. Many of the adult dogs I have raised have been adopted abroad. Unlike Ireland, other countries have much stricter breed laws — if you want a dog, you can either go to a rescue center and adopt them, or join the very long line for a custom-made, designer hypothetical-allergenic puppy accessory.
All of the traumatized adult dogs I meet were once cute little puppies too. It’s surprising how many dog people end up not being dog people. If you’ve bought a dog in the past, so be it, but if you’re ever thinking about getting another dog, please check out your local rescue center or animal shelter. Your dog is just waiting for you to find him.
An important part of grooming is learning about the dog’s personality, so when you adopt it you already know if the dog gets along well with other pets and children, for example.
We were heartbroken when Boss left, but he’s now living his best life in the Swedish countryside with his rescued Pittie brother.
And then there are the puppies. Sweet Jesus, the puppies. The teething, the peeing, the pooping, the binge eating. Let me emphasize teething. I can’t tell you how many shoes have been sacrificed in the name of puppy care. Not the cheap Penneys flip flops I bought at a wedding somewhere. Oh no, it has to be the most popular or the most expensive.
Furniture, doors, baseboards, the pipe from the back of the house and a pedal on two different bicycles were also badly injured in the teething. There is one leg of the kitchen table that is still standing thanks to gravity alone. We had blue-eyed Bianca and Milly, pooping sisters Bibi and Belle, and Vegas.
Vegas is what the industry calls failed care. One of those dogs you form a special bond with and just can’t let go of. He’s a black and white staffie-shaped bundle of love and happiness. He always smiles. When we go for a walk, people see him smile and start smiling back. It’s like happiness kindles him.
His most important bond is with my youngest daughter. He adores her. She was 10 when we got him and the two would spend hours together adventuring and just shooting the breeze in her room. He got out twice and followed her trail to the school. He’s still waiting by the door until she comes home.
I don’t usually mind giving the puppies back. I know they will be adopted. It’s the elders that break my heart, who have been terribly abandoned by their people but are still desperate for someone to love.
I think the grooming has brought me more than the dogs. First, caring for those in need is good for the soul. There is a lot of research showing that volunteering improves your mental well-being in some way.
What’s more, these dogs taught me what it means to forgive and what it means to love fully. You judge people by what’s inside. They don’t care about the color of their skin, religion, politics or profession. You see the best in everyone.
I’ve met some amazing dogs and amazing people on my fostering journey. There’s a small army of ordinary people out there involved in animal rescues. Some drive pound after pound every day to rescue animals from death row.
These groups desperately need your support, whether it’s through a donation, adopting a foster home or – best of all – adopting a dog. I can’t think of a greater honor than being able to save a life.
If you are considering a grant, there are a few things you should know:
⬤ The foster home covers all vet bills and provides bedding, bowls, toys, food, leashes and collars.
⬤ You will not be paid for the promotion.
⬤ Before getting your first foster pet, you need to undergo a home check.
⬤ Someone needs to be home most of the day so the animal isn’t left alone for too long.
⬤ You need a secure back garden.
⬤ The foster animal has to sleep in the house.
⬤ You need to make time for regular walks.
⬤ You may need to bring the dog to vet appointments.
⬤ The foster home will support you on an ongoing basis and will be happy to find another foster home for the dog if it doesn’t work out.
Where to start
A quick Google search for foster dogs in Ireland will turn up dozens of rescue centers looking for foster dogs.
Fill out the online application form on the website or give them a call.
My foster homes are Protecting Pound Dogs, Dog Angels and Dogs in Distress, all of which you can find on Facebook. The following groups are also good to check.
