Disclaimer: I own nothing that you recognise in this fic, only the plot. My thanks to Rorschach's Blot for his permission to use small parts of his 'Constant Vigilance' series in
'Odd Litte Ideas'.
Harry Moody, the Beginning.
Minerva looked sadly at the house where 'those dreadful muggles' lived and tried again to convince Albus that it was no place to leave a magical child.
"I'm sorry Minerva but . . ." Albus slumped to the ground, the victim of a powerful stunner.
"Albus" Minerva cried before joining him in the land of nod.
Out of the shadows came a heavily scarred man with a horrible grin, using several well practiced wand movements he modified their memories, "you dropped the boy off, you don't think Figg will be needed, and if you ever need someone to check on the boy then you'll call your old pal Moody."
"I just couldn't let him leave you here lad" he wrapped a scarred hand around the sleeping child's basket and gave a rather frightening smile, "you'd never reach your potential living here, but I promise you boy that with me teaching you you'll be great."
Baby Harry didn't awake at the sound of his new guardian's voice and the world changed.
"Constant Vigilance" Moody yelled at the two unconscious Professors before absconding into the night with the sleeping form of the boy-who-lived.
Back at Moody's house he transfigured a battered chair into a crib and left the boy in it to sleep. Doing a customary scan of the area around his house he stuck his head into his fireplace.
Mundungus Fletcher had just sat himself down to enjoy one of his stolen bottles of Ogden's Finest when Moody's voice scared the living daylights out of him. "FLETCHER, GET YOUR THIEVING HIDE TO MY PLACE NOW OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES".
Mundungus bolted out of his chair and grabbed his recently 'aquired' Nimbus 1200 and apparated to the edge of Moody's wards. After shaking his head to get rid of his alcohol induced state he flew the remaining mile over to Moody's house. Really setting up wards that extended a mile in every direction was paranoid even for Moody, but then again no one in the Ministry had the guts to deny him…and those who did didn't care as long as moody continued to bring in the criminals.
Once he reached Moody's house he knocked on the door and saw a flash of red light.
When he woke up he was tied to a chair and his mouth had a bitter aftertaste that had to come from some sort of potion. "Is all of this really necessary Moody?" he grunted.
"CONSTANT VIGILANCE Fletcher", Moody yelled. "Now, you're going to do something for me, and if you perform satisfactory I'll forget the fact that you broke into Crouch's Manor yesterday when everyone else were celebrating or working at the Ministry".
Mundungus gulped, Chrouch had been on the warpath lately against Deadth Eaters and criminals alike. If Dung was lucky he would escape with a decade in Azkaban if Crouch ever found out.
"What's the job then?"
Moody pointed to the crib that stood in a corner. "I need ya to look after the boy while I place some fake documents in the Ministry".
Mundungus looked over to the crib and gasped as he saw the lightning bolt scar on Harry's forehead.
"Potter, but I thought Dumbledore said that he was to stay with his aunt and uncle?"
Moody whipped out his wand and pressed it into Mundungus' cheeks. "And people are going to continue to believe that, Albus isn't the only one who holds all the pieces in this game, I know what the boy has to do one day and by Merlin I'm going to give him the tools he needs to finish the job".
Moody paced a little bit back and forth before he turned to Mundungus again. "I'll give you five hundred galleons a year if you watch him for an hour and keep your mouth shut afterwards".
Mundungus widened his eyes at the prospect. "You've got yourself a deal Moody, now if you'll just get me out of these ropes", he looked expectedly at Moody.
Moody vanished the ropes and grabbed the parcel which held all of the falsified documents that recorded the birth of one Alexander Harry Moody at 30th of July 1980. Once he was sure Mundingus had everything under control he flooed to the Ministry. After arrival he marched straight towards the Department of Magical Records. A quick stunner and subsequent obliviation ensured that the single worker there wouldn't remember a thing.
On his way out again he was stopped by Bartemius Crouch Senior. "Alastor? What are you doing at the Ministry this time of day?"
Moddy growled for himself as he turned to face his boss. "I came to find you Barty, appears that some woman left a boy on my doorstep with a note that claimed he was my son. I've done the tests and they all turned out positive so I'm going to need a few personal days to adjust".
Barty's eyes widened as he probably thought about who would be desperate enough to actually sleep with Moody, but then decided that he didn't want to know. "Fine Alastor, but I want you back in office within a week".
Moody nodded and then flooed back to his house. After checking that none of his wards had been tampered with he stunned Mundungus and modified his memory, he would now believe that he had drunk himself to sleep in front of his fireplace, another quick use of the floo ensured that Fletcher was back home.
Three days later Moody was about to drive his head through a wall, the boy was constantly crying for his parents or the traitor Black. It was now that he really realized his mistake. He had no clue about taking care of a small child and after much deliberation he decided to visit two friends who had a small boy themselves for some pointers.
"Alastor", Frank Longbottom yelled to his former mentor when he opened the door only to find Moody standing there
"What's the first thing I told your batch of trainees when you showed up at the Academy?" Moody asked as he pointed his wand at Frank's chest.
Frank rolled his eyes at his former mentor's paranoia. "You told each and every one of us rabbits to form a line or you would personally shit-kick everyone who appeared before your eye", his lips tugged slightly with amusement.
Moody nodded hastily and scanned the house for what had to be the umpteenth time that day for any threats. "Bad form Frank to just open the door like that, if I'd been a Death Eater you'd be dead now".
Frank rolled his eyes again as he locked the door behind Moody only to watch with exasperation as Moody heaped spell after spell on the door for extra security.
"Come on Alastor the war is over, Voldemort is dead".
Moody just grunted as he sat down on a couch. "You know as well as I do that the Dark Lord is not completely dead yet, and all of his 'Imperiused' followers, they're still out for blood, so I want you to maintain Constant Eternal Vigilance".
"Of course Alastor", Frank said to please him. "So what brings you here? You aren't one for social visits".
Moody removed the glamour he had placed on Alex's carrying basket. "That's my boy, got him dumped on me three days ago and I need some tips on how to raise him".
Frank's eyes bugged out at the sight of the young boy. "That's not your son, that is Lily and James' boy".
Moody nodded. "Dumbledore was planning on putting him with his relatives, and you know god damn well what he has to do whenever the Dark Lord returns, I'm going to do the best I can to make sure he survives".
Frank nodded thoughtfully. "I suppose that's for the best, but how are you going to disguise him? I mean everyone who gets a look at that scar is bound to know who he is".
"Well, muggles have made huge developments in medical arts the last years or so, I'm going to a muggle private hospital to get that damn scar removed and after that we'll just need some colored lenses for his eyes and he'll be completely different".
"Hmm you have a point, well I better get Alice down here then and we can start teaching you what you need to know, meanwhile we can place Harry here with Neville".
Moody nodded and gave the boy over to Frank who looked sadly down at the son of his murdered friends. A short while later Frank and Alice returned and started to tell Moody everything he needed to know about children.
It was five hours later that Moody suddenly jumped to his feet and brandished his wand. "Alice get the kids out of here, four Death Eaters are closing in on the door, they haven't had the time to place any wards yet so hurry".
Alice jumped to her feet at the command and ran up to the nursery and grabbed the two boys and apparated to Frank's mother.
Just as Alice dissapparated wards preventing apparition and portkeys slammed into place, effectively trapping the two remaining aurors. "Dissillusion spells Frank, you go left and I'll go right".
Frank nodded and tapped his wand on his head effectively making himself invisible while Moody did the same.
Moody waited until the four Death Eaters stood right outside the door before he unleashed his first spell. 'Confringo'. The silent spell detonated on the door and blew it out in a spray of shrapnel and cries of pain tore through the house as the closest Death Eater was penetrated by the wooden splinters. The other three however tore into the house and launched killing curses right away and Moody swore as he banished a couch to intercept the one that headed for him, apparently they had cast 'Homonum Revelio' on themselves, making his and Frank's disillusion spells useless.
Moody and Frank immediately went into action, Frank threw a hail of stunners and hexes at the Death Eaters who answered back with unforgivables. Moody animated the corpse of the dead Death Eater to attack the closest one, and once the Death Eater was distracted moody hit him with a reducto in the chest that slammed him into the wall and probably broke every bone in his chest area.
As he rounded on Death Eater number two he felt his heart stop for a second as the green light of the Killing Curse hit Frank dead on.
"Well well, if it isn't 'Mad Eye' Moody", a female voice laughed at him as she admired her earlier handiwork. Moody concentrated his eye and looked past the masks the Death Eaters wore.
"Bellatrix Lestrange, how does it feel to know that your pathetic master was killed by a brat not yet out of his diapers?"
Bellatrix screamed with rage and threw the Cruciatus curse against him but it was easily blocked by a chair. "You know I would prefer to take you in alive, but I don't think I'll bother", Moody yelled and unleashed a torrent of curses at the two Death Eaters and he grinned a feral smile when his cutter tore into Bellatrix's hand, the following bludgeoner to the head sent her into unconsciousness.
"And of course Barty Crouch Junior, I wonder how your father will react after I've captured you".
Barty simply snarled and renewed his attack by sending repeated Killing Curses towards Moody, who dodged one after the other. With Barty being on the other side of the room Moody had the advantage as it would take up to five seconds for the Killing Curse to cross it, and he had plenty of furniture to block them as well. After two minutes Barty staggered as his body protested the energy he had spent on throwing the deadliest of curses, and Moody wheezed with laughter.
"You may be a dark wizard, but you're no where near the caliber of the Dark Lord, throwing unforgivables around like some other mentally backwards Hufflepuff", Moody finished Crouch off with a stunner, and immediately bound the three surviving Death Eaters in thick chains and placed anti-apparition and portkey jinxes on them, he wasn't about to lose them after he removed the shoddy wards they'd placed.
As soon as the wards went down a mix or Aurors and Order members led by Albus Dumbledore apparated in. "You guys are too late, we have one dead Death Eater, and three who will be enjoying Azkaban for the rest of their pathetic lives", Moody told Dumbledore.
"FRANK! NOOO", Alice screamed as she ran over to her dead husband. Moody and Dumbledore exchanged grim looks as she tried to fight off the Aurors who tried to remove her from the body. Ignoring the distraught woman's sobs for the moment Moody turned towards Dumbledore again.
"We have a scandal on our hands, one of the captured bastards is Barty Crouch Junior…you know what that means don't you?"
Dumbledore's eyes widened in surprise. "This is going to spell the end of his political career if it ever gets out".
"Aye", Moody replied as he stowed away his wand. "We need to place the boy into protective custody until his trial, if we don't I can guarantee that the boy will be dead by nightfall, I don't care how much the kid deserves it I WILL NOT have his madman of a father as Minister".
"You are right of course, I'll take him to Hogwarts, he will be kept unconscious until the trial…nobody get to know",
"Damn right nobody gets to know, I want this strictly between us".
Dumbledore walked over to where Barty Crouch Junior was lying and levitated him with his wand. "I'll escort this one to the holding cells then, I suggest you get the other two to first under heavy guard so that they can be in a reasonable shape when the trial comes.
Moody walked over to a corner where Alice was being comforted by Remus Lupin, both of them looked like shit, though it was understandable, both of them losing close friends and in Alice's case husband the last week.
"For what it is worth Alice I'm sorry", Moody's voice was almost gentle as he laid an unsure hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks Alastor, I-I guess I should go get N-Neville back from his grandmother".
Moody shook his head. "Both you and Lupin need some time off, I suggest that both of you take a few days together and talk, you're one of the few left in the Order from your generation so you need to stick together in these times. I'll talk to Augusta when I pick up Ha…Alex".
"He's right Alice, let's get over to my place and I'll make you a nice cup of tea", Remus suggested as he helped her up from the floor.
Moody watched them leave and rounded on the Aurors. "I want an explanation and I want I RIGHT NOW", he barked at them, causing several to jump slightly.
"Sir, we got the distress call from Alice ten minutes before we arrived, but there were wards up and!"
Moody glared at Senior Auror Amelia Bones. "In that case you should have been here eight minutes earlier, HOW MANY TIMES DID I TELL YOU PUSSIES TO CARRY A BROOM ON YOU AT ALL TIMES?"
Ignoring the feeble answers he received he snarled at them. "Since you've apparently gotten soft after the Dark Lord was vanquished I'll have to teach you guys up from scratch again. Tomorrow everyone meet up at 5'AM SHARP, so for the next week I'll be driving you as hard as a Hillbilly on his wife do you get me?"
"WE GET YOU SIR", they yelled back.
"GOOD, those of you who will be fortunate to guard our captured bastards will get training delayed until the trial is over. Now I expect this order to get out to every Auror in active service, for every one who is late, you'll get one extra day of training". Moody grinned as despair spread across the faces of the gathered Aurors, apparently none of them had forgotten how much of a bastard he was when training them.
"SCRIMGOUR, assemble a team to guard these traitors, and make arrangement for burial detail and the like for the dead, I want six Aurors guarding each of these bastards twenty four hours a day, and I want the names of these traitors in the Prophet yesterday, I want their families to feel so ashamed that they won't dare show their face in public for weeks understood".
"Yes sir", Moody's oldest friend said, "I'll make sure to raise as much hell as possible sir". Moody nodded with satisfaction, and once he was sure that Scrimgour had everything under control he apparated to Augusta Longbottom to pick up his adoptive son.
A/N: I've hit a writers block with my other story, but a new chapter is in the works, expect an update within a month. Meanwhile I hope you enjoy the start of my second story which will feature Harry Potter raised by Moody. (To avoid unnecessary confusion I will call Harry for Alex or Alexander until his real identity is revealed, and one last question should Alex/Harry receive a magical eye like his adoptive father or not, if so when should he receive it?
Read and review.

2015 Western States 100: 16 TALON Athletes Ready to Run That Extra .2 Miles
Written by David Hanenburg | Topic: race news
100.2 mile point-to-point scamper by foot from Squaw Valley, California to the track in Auburn.
Nearly 400 runners with ages between 19 and 71.
1500 volunteers.
A race where many of the top ultrarunners in the United States and world meet up for a sub-30 hour adventure. Include a big group of lucky runners that had their name pulled during the lottery system and you have this great mix of passionate athletes from our sport.
A race that started back in 1974 and today is one of the most buzz'n 100 mile races on the globe.
If it's June, we are talking the Western States 100 and it all begins Saturday morning at 5:00am.
16 TALON (TX, AR, LA, OK, NM) will be lacing them up and pinning on a bib early tomorrow morning. Every state besides Louisiana will represent with Texas going big with 10 athletes.
From fast tread, Grand Slammin', to their first Western States 100 experience, we have it all.
Fast Tread of Texas
Shaheen Sattar is returning to the big dance for her sophomore start after a courageous 9th place female finish last year. Shaheen has had a great string of Spring race efforts and looks ready to play. (If not aware, a top 10 finish is huge because it offers you an entry for the following year without having to receive an entry through other means (Montrail Ultra Cup, lottery, etc).)
Nicole Studer has been kindly crushin' it in every race she starts while setting the 100 mile female North American trail record at Rocky Raccoon 100 this past January (Our post-race chat with Nicole). While this will be Nicole's first Western States 100, she thrives in the heat and may be one of the top runners in managing effort by feel.
Paul Terranova is quickly becoming a Western States fixture after running his very first 100 at Western States back in 2012. Across these past three years Paul's times have dropped from 20:12 to 17:26 last year. Paul does the training. Paul has a plan. Paul will execute the plan as best he can and the race will be what it is. If feeling good, watch him go to work in the final 20 miles. I am sure he would love to get in that top 10 again this year.
Thomas Orf, another one of our kill them with kindness athletes often competing at the front of races. While Thomas has a variety of 100 mile experience, this will be his first Western States. With some good chats with the Terranova family, I am sure he will be prepared to play. You can learn more about Thomas in our interview with him after winning the 2014 Texas Trail Championship Series)
19 year old Ford Smith. The dude loves the mountains. The dude loves to run fast. The dude has 100 mile experience. Much wisdom in this 19 year old. Will be fun to watch.
If a one hundred miler in a year isn't enough, we have four athletes aiming for the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning which is to officially complete the following four 100 mile adventures: Western States 100 (June), Vermont 100 (July), Leadville 100 (Aug), and Wasatch Front 100 (Sept).

text: I am retired and have just purchased my very first Wii. In fact, I have never played a Wii game before. I noticed in the documentation that a 32 GB SD card or USB port could be used to save data. I ASSUMED that I would be able to save my game to a USB stick drive or a 32 GB SD card and keep the original CD tucked away to prevent damages. I must say, I was shocked to find out you have to use the CD every time you want to use Fit Plus. There appears to be loaders out there that can be use to put the games on a USB drive but I have also read that attempting to mess with the WII box software can turn your Wii game into a door stop. 1. How do I know which software version my Wii is running at? (When I got the Will box, I followed the instructions and connected to the internet and updated my system) 2. What loader will work with my system 3) How can I prevent or recover if the loader does not work 4) The only games I am interested in running are" Wii Fit, Wii Resort & Will Sports. And only on my machine 5) What is the life expectancy of a CD if you insert/eject the CD twice a day 6) Can you purchase a replacement CD for Wii Fit, Wii Resource, Wii Fit for a reasonable price? Say under $20? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Law of Attraction creates an energetic environment, around you about being perfectly ready and positively willing to share your life with someone special. The energy dissipated by the Law of Attraction is an intensely positive personal energy that makes your deepest desires come true.
How it works is quite simple. The Law of Attraction is based on the principle that like attracts like. This law doesn't care who is worthy of love. As per this law, the sort of person you attract and who becomes such a special part of your life will possess the same energy that is radiated by you.

How do you do that? How do you use the Law of Attraction to attract the right person into your life? Just follow the 6 rules we tell you here.
Raise your Vibration to Attract the Right Person:
What do people feel when they are around you? Do they get positive vibes from you? Are you cheerful normally, or do you give the impression of being sad or depressed with life? Are you confident, ready to take on life, or do you come across as desperate and helpless? You only attract what you project – so to attract the right person to yourself, you should raise your vibration and radiate positivity all the time.
Always Be Happy. There is no reason to be Unhappy!
It doesn't matter if you don't have the perfect job, a massive bank balance, a big home, an expensive car or even a special person to share your life with. There are so many people in the world who are worse off than you are. Never be despondent over what you don't have and be grateful for what you do have. If you are happy within yourself, you'll surely attract a special someone to share your happy, wholesome life as well.
Be Passionate!
Surely there is something in life that you feel passionate about? Some work or a hobby that drives you on, makes you happy, fills you with a sense of purpose? A happy person is one who is passionate about at least one thing in his or her life. By being passionate about something, you radiate a strong life force, which attracts someone really special into your life.
Show Interest in Other People!
It's not just about you, there are other people in this world as well. Show interest in them. Find out what makes them tick. When you go on a blind date with someone, even if you're completely disinterested in the person, do talk to them, surely there is something special about them, something fun and interesting that you want to know about? Be nice to everyone.
Always Radiate Love!
Well, it's not so easy to radiate love. You will want to criticize people, judge them or worse, even mock them. Avoid that! Even if you intensely disagree with someone, don't hate that person. Try saying "I love you" silently in your mind to everyone you meet during a typical day in your life – even to someone – a landlord or a boss – who you absolutely detest! It works – it takes away all the negativity in your mind. Most importantly, love yourself! When you radiate love, you will get love in return. That's how the Law of Attraction works.

Smile, and smile often, it raises your vibration, makes you happier and when you are happy yourself, you will attract a happy person into your life.
That's about it! These are the 6 rules of finding love using the awesome power of the Law of Attraction. We wish you luck, happiness and love – you deserve it!

Today's workout is the kind I'm most proud of. I have a headache, the beginnings of a cold, PMS, allergies, and I'm so sore from my training session yesterday I can barely walk, and want to cry.
But I go up, breathed deeply, laced up my sneakers and went. As much as I wanted to stay home and rest, I want to be healthy MORE. I want to keep the PROMISE I made to myself that I was committed and going to do this. I had to remind myself:
I gave 100% at Spin this morning. I stood the whole 4 minutes for the standing climb and did all the jumps, and as the sweat (or was it tears?) trickled down my face, the breath whooshed out of my mouth (in through the nose, out of the mouth) and my legs trembled, I kept saying in my head:
You got this. You GOT this. YOU CAN DO IT! 15 seconds more, 10 seconds more…push, push..5 seconds….GO! GO! GO!
And I did it.
I wobbled my way down the stairs, and DAMN, forgot my keys, wobbled back UP the stairs, back down, went to the car and got my gym bag, to the locker room and stood under the warm shower forever until I felt like I wasn't going to die.
I'm glad that I told my friend that I wasn't going to Pilates. There is a real difference between pushing yourself, and pushing too hard, and I knew that it would be bad for me to go. Next time is just fine.
Even though I'm dreading getting up from my desk to limp to the 6couch to rest my weary legs (stupid kickboxing—stupid squats) and arms (stupid Kettlebells!) I know I'll be doing that same workout tomorrow. If I want results like I had yesterday (I'm still in AWE of 11 inches lost) I have to bring it and keep going. And I will!
How have YOU challenged yourself lately?

Following in the footsteps of Judith Jamison is Robert Battle who in July of 2011 became Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's third Artistic Director.
Here we see an excerpt from The Hunt choreographed by Battle in 2001. Primal and predatory, this work for six men is bold, theatrical, and aggressive. Set to the soundtrack by Les Tambours du Bronx, the percussive rhythm reinforces The Hunt with its driving, energetic masculinity.
I particularly love the sequence starting at 2'50". The rhythmic jumping to the beat of the drums and the intensity of the dancers is riveting and exciting.
If you enjoyed this very physical and unrestrained performance, please like then share with others.

When writing a research paper, your thesis statement is very important. Writing a narrow, focused thesis statement which is clear and to the point. Learning to write a great thesis statement is an excellent skill for students to have, so with that in mind here are a few helpful tips to guide you when you write your thesis statement.
What is a Thesis Statement?
A thesis statement is not a statement of fact, but rather a statement that you can prove by presenting evidence. In a research paper, your thesis statement should be something that you have come up with through your own critical thinking and you should only decide upon your thesis statement once you have done some research in order to confirm that you are going to be able to back the statement up with your research.
The best thesis statements will give your research paper direction while also creating boundaries and limits to focus your research. It should inform the reader what they can expect from your paper. You need to be able to support your thesis with evidence and it can be helpful to summarize your supporting points when writing your thesis statement.
Structuring Your Thesis Statement
Your thesis statement should be around two or three sentences long and it needs to be presented near the beginning of your paper. It is often placed within the introduction, although for longer papers it is also acceptable to put your thesis in your second paragraph as long as you include it before launching into the main body of your research.
A thesis statement needs to be as clear and as specific as you can make it and although it will be the starting point for your research paper, you will likely continue to refine it as your research progresses. Depending on where your argument ends up taking your paper your thesis statement will evolve and gain more definition. Just make sure that your thesis does not become to generalized as it does need to focus your paper and be clear about your intent.
Make Sure Your Thesis Statement is Original
One of the most important things that you will need to consider when writing the thesis statement for your research paper is whether or not it is original. You need to avoid generic arguments. They may be the easiest way to get started, but ultimately they will make fir a very boring research paper. The point that you are making needs to be one that will matter, so be sure that you are prepared to explain why your research topic is worthy of a paper and why the reader should read it. You should also make sure that you write your thesis statement in your own words, this is not the right time to quote someone else. You want to craft something that is original and insightful, not to mention memorable. If you quote someone else's ideas you will come off as little more than a mouthpiece and your research paper will lose credibility.
General Thesis Writing Tips
There are also a few other general tips that might help you with writing a great thesis statement for your next research paper:
- Get to know your topic – It is very difficult to write a thesis statement never mind a whole paper about a topic that you do not know anything about. Always strive to choose a research topic that you are familiar with, or at the very least one that will be easy for you to learn more about.
- Brainstorm your ideas – It can be difficult to come up with the right points to support your thesis statement. It is a good idea to brainstorm all of your ideas, taking notes about them. In doing this you may come up with new ideas or connections. It might be the case that you begin to see specific themes develop. This can help you to shape both your thesis statement and your research paper.

About the study
The Comerford one-name study looks at the names Comerford, Comberford, Quemerford, and their variants, including Commerford and Comerton.
The family names derive from two different placenames in England: Comberford, north of Tamworth and east of Lichfield in south-east Staffordshire; and Quemerford, on the edges of Calne in Wiltshire.
The two names became confused and conflated over the centuries, with a close relationship between the two families that became one of kinship.
The name Comerford is now primarily associated with the south-east of Ireland, and this study seeks to catalogue the different families with this name.
This study is a work in progress, and the pages on the blog/website associated with it are regularly updates.
For more information on these names and families, visit the Comerford family history website

116, I lost a few family members of my own to cancer. I'm sorry for your loss. I was just diagnosed with cancer, less than two weeks ago, and I can't even fathom someone using cancer as a prank/dare. The boyfriend needs to be dumped ASAP!

2: "Dump him" is usually not solid advice with so little info to go on, but you're right: respect is everything, and OP's BF has none.

You're right too, he needs to know that cancer isn't a joke
LolFMLnot | 10
#2 i don't see how he has no respect for his gf. Yeah it was a very bad joke, but we don't know how he treats her. Just because of this joke you can't tell if he respects her or not. But what he did was very immature
iOceanus | 18
58 - I agree. Maybe he treats her like a princess, for all we know, and just wanted to troll her a little bit. 'Get rid of him' is pretty extreme.
freshberries22 | 17
I don't know about ops boyfriend being respectful in his relationships especially when there's not enough info to go on. Regardless, not too many people lie about their mother having a degenerative disease in order to tell a good joke. His actions are repulsive and I would be livid if that were my boyfriend. I'm sorry that this situation happened to you op but you definitely need to have a stern conversation with your boyfriend over things that are funny and things that are cruel.
tacojauns | 44
Well they must have just started dating because how do you not know your BF mother has cancer or not? OP kind of deserve it because she made a poor decision without knowing the facts
xcarxcrashx | 9
And what if op lives far from her boyfriends mom, she may not see her often and is relying on her boyfriend for info.
58: Respect is about not pulling pranks like this on somebody you care about. This guy let his gf shave her head when he knew full well that her reason for doing it was a lie for his entertainment; that's not respect. Joking about cancer and his mother dying isn't very respectful, either.
shrimpygymnast | 9
I'm only saying cause I've seen cancer strike many times and the ending isn't pretty

I think this is a situation where OP should get rid of her boyfriend. That's not something to joke or lie about ever.

YDI for 1. being so gullible and 2. for doing something like that as gesture when you clearly know nothing about his mothers 'cancer' and situation.
Yes, YDI for caring about your boyfriend and his family /sarcasm How do you know her and her boyfriend don't live in another state and the only way she can get information about his mother is through him? How is she gullible for believing something her boyfriend said, when it's something as serious as cancer? No, it's a total FHL because her boyfriend is an ass
torbey | 23
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment
yes it is a caring gesture but why do something like that if you haven't even met his mum or had even a slightly personal relationship with her. personally, I believe that a gesture like that is something that a close family member or friend does as a way of showing support. and presumably if there was any relationship like that between OP and her boyfriend's mother then don't you think the whole cancer thing would have been brought up in a conversation before? so unless her boyfriend's mother played along with the whole thing (which would be very sick indeed) which it doesn't say that she did (although it is a possibility) I don't see why the OP felt the need to go out and do such a gesture. If I had cancer and somebody that I was not even close with went out and shaved their head I would be offended since it isn't as though they would be actively involved in my situation as it is. but that's just my personal opinion. sorry OP, it does suck that this happened to you but in the future I'd look into what people tell you a bit more before you rush out and do something so drastic. ps sorry for punctuation and grammar I'm on my phone so its hard to proofread. I hope everyone understands my point now :)
Torbey- Stop making ridiculous assumptions to back up your asinine "YDI" vote. You are making yourself look like a complete ass.
How do you know they aren't close? I was very close with my exboyfriends mom, but we only had time to talk once or twice a month. You have no idea the situation of their relationship. OP and her boyfriend could have lived near his parents for awhile but then moved. Or, when my aunt got cancer, we never talked with her about it because it made her upset. She may not have rushed out and done it, it could have been an ongoing prank. All of these things could have happened. You are assuming one thing out of very few details. FMLs aren't black and white. There may be details we aren't aware of.

I completely agree with you Torbey. Some people use other people's tragedies to show to the world how caring they are. How about instead of shaving your head to show support, sit through a 4 hour chemo treatment and actually do something to support that person, instead of just telling everyone how supportive you are.
46- If we didn't make assumptions we wouldn't be able to vote either way. He thinks she deserves it. You don't. Let's all scoot along now.
52: except Torbey is a she.
My entire argument falls apart and my point is void. Good thing you pointed that out.
young_happy: Are you a fucking idiot? "Some people use other people's tragedies to show the world how caring they are." Um, what? Don't people usually show their support as a result of tragedies? If everything were okay, nobody would HAVE to show their support. And why THE FUCK would she sit through chemotherapy if she doesn't have cancer? I guess the people that donate to the 'Make A Wish' Foundation are just attention whores then, huh? NOW it all makes sense.

51-you, my friend, are a complete and total ass. When my grandmother went through Chemo, she was thankful for support from anyway; family or stranger. Now, let me get this right. You suggest instead of shaving your head to support someone's fight, sit through chemo treatments to see how horrible they are? I don't need to "sit" through a treatment, I know first hand how horrible cancer treatments are. How, exactly, is taking a treatment you don't need (which is expensive and supplies can run short at times) showing your support?

65- I am very familiar with deductive reasoning, and I can tell you that neither party has used it very well here. My point was that people yelling "No, she deserves it" and "No, she doesn't!" wasn't going to get anywhere.
Either way Sinkhole, there are other ways to show support besides sitting through a chemotherapy session with somebody. And I'm not condemning anyone who has or does. If what they're saying is "Do something other than blow hot air." then I agree and take back everything I said. However, their first statement, which I quoted, seems to say otherwise.
young_happy | 5
I do mean to sit with them and keep them company, or do other things that will actually support the person sick. Sure, shaving your head in support can be a great gesture, when done with the person who is sick and losing their hair. But doing it without even confirming that someone is sick (or that they will lose their hair...not all chemo causes hairloss) just seems more show-offy than supportive, since they seemingly weren't even close enough to this woman to know anything about her condition. I'm talking about empty gestures, like posting things on FB but never actually spending time with or taking care of someone when they are sick. Things just so people will say "What a supportive and caring person you are!" but aren't actually helping the sick person at all.
SenselessPattern | 12
I honestly don't care one way or another about everyone's opinions, but until #85 said something I was about to rip my hair off. Obviously she didn't mean sit through chemo treatment yourself. Glad you hammered some sense into this rage-train of opinions.
SammyS2012 | 21
I would say that she should have confirmed a potential tragedy with the person themselves, but the mom might not have wanted it known (if it were true). Honestly, if I had cancer, I would appreciate a gesture like that, but I would rather my family do other things to support me (as stated by those who were down voted). I don't know if it's just me, but I would rather emotional support than people shaving their heads for me.
makitokito | 14
I dont know personally I think family or stranger and whether you know they are sick or not if you're showing your support thats a big move and its a great thing to. Showing support and someone isnt reallly sick doesnt make that person a show off. They didnt ask questions they just showed the support to the person who needed it. I wouldnt have asked if someone really was sick, i would still do what I could anyways. Its like my mothers friend does she sees people asking for money and she gives it she doesnt know if the person will spend it on money or drugs all that matters was she did something good, she gave that effort she was willing to help someone. That is what matters even if its real or not.
makitokito | 14
Spend it on money or drugs lol alcohol or drugs duh me
nikiwiki | 4
51- being supportive of someone with cancer can range from anything from anyone. pull your head out of your ass. when my mother was dying from cancer she welcomed the support from anyone. when you know of someone with cancer whether it be family or not. there is no bragging to make yourself look better because during that time all that matters is the health and well being of that person. support helps. may not heal the cancer but it shows that you aren't allow and not every person is a selfish prick.
NinjaAssasin720 | 0
Dont be such a dick you dont joke about cancer
candiicane | 12
Or the more logical explanation is that she was "recently diagnosed" (as claimed by boyfriend) not that she's had it forever and it's just being brought up now. Although I agree one should wait to get all the facts (and see if a person would even lose their hair) before making such a decision, it was a kind gesture. Also, I work at a cancer hospital, anyone and everyone gets cancer suddenly and some die very quickly. It could be the only chance she has to show support.
By ManInTheMachine | 19
Go back to the barber and pay them extra to etch "My boyfriend is a lying ass" into your head. Or "Drugs kill" and in tiny letters underneath"...time". Either way.
Eh. I have my moments.
TheMathMajor | 26
Or just rock the bald head and say you did it for cancer awareness in general.
AwesomePdudE | 9
I kind of take meaning to this, and it's like accidental support to my friend's sister, who has Leukemia and is undergoing treatment.
lacespace | 8
And then be prepared with laughing gas and a mask to put on him, while creepily whispering in his ear all the sick things you're going to do to him while he's drugged so he pees himself. Then Wax his head and then his balls. Then his entire body until he feels like a baby dolphin...muhaha. Right?
Karmasabiych | 7
Great idea
By 123man | 11
So he lied to you or she had some illness, just not cancer? I'm a little confused. Some stories are too complicated for a FML.
123man | 11
You're making guesses based on what was said. Several things weren't clear.
53- No, I simply restated the obvious based on what actually happened according to the FML. "Turns out she doesn't even have cancer, and my boyfriend didn't think I'd have the guts to actually do it." - This means the boyfriend lied to OP about his mom having cancer to see if she'd actually shave her head.
SenselessPattern | 12
Wouldn't he be a false dick because he lied?
TurquoiseJesus | 15
96- I'm pretty sure the fml says he lied about the cancer to see if the girlfriend would shave her head. Really, it's all right there. Also (not directly related at you 96, just a general comment), why is it that if a small group of people experience tragedy, then no one on earth is allowed to make a joke about it anymore? I've never understood that.

1st year Psychology student and blogger
Just like every Friday morning, I met Andra (a lovely employee from Aston's creative department) to explore a new section of Birmingham. This week, Andra and I visited Digbeth to look around the graffiti-ed streets, independent vintage shops and food stalls.
It was only a short 15 minute walk from the Main Building on campus to the famous Custard Factory in Digbeth, some of which was through a very pretty park where the leaves where just turning golden. I recommend taking a walk through the park if you don't want to go all the way to Digbeth.
When we walked into the Custard Factory, I was blown away by how forgotten this street could be if you were in a rush or just not paying attention. It was so quiet in the street that it felt like we had just stepped into a tucked away, secret lane, whereas in reality the Custard Factory is actually very well known.
After window shopping by a few very cute little shops selling candles, makeup, handmade jewellery and homeware, we wandered up to see the graffiti that is painted all over the street walls by famous artists. Andra showed me her favourite piece of art and it quickly became my own favourite as well. It is a beautifully vibrant and colourful piece of a lady closing her eyes created by an artist by the name of 'Jimmy C'. The piece is drawn completely from large to small circles and, for me, it embodies the spirit of a city because of its unapologetic energy for life.
We stopped to watch some skateboarders do some tricks in the Custard Factory's indoor skate park. It was great to watch, but I couldn't help feeling jealous of how talented some of the boys were.
Just as we started walking back towards the University campus, Andra and I decided to stop in one of my favourite vintage chain shops called 'Cow'. This Cow in Birmingham is absolutely huge! I didn't expect it to be so vast – it was the size of a small warehouse and stocked everything from dresses to jumpers, trainers to t-shirts and bags to bracelets. I can only wish that my student bank balance wasn't so tiny!
Overall, I loved our little trip out to Digbeth, and I would recommend anyone who loves vintage fashion or has an alternative style to head straight on down there!

Seepromenade and Lindau in general
Lindau (Bodensee), Germany
Seepromenade and Lindau in general Lindau (Bodensee) Reviews
3 reviews
Dec 02, 2007
We stayed in Lindau on night 6 of a 11 day vacation to the southern regions of Germany, Baden-Wuttemburg and Bavaria. Besides having some difficulties locating the island portion of the town where the hotel is located, our experience was great.
Lindau is set on a island in the Bodensee (Lake Constance), and is connected to the mainland by a causeway. If you visit Lindau, you must stay on the lake front. Cars are discouraged and not allowed in many areas unless you are staying at the hotel. You will find great views and you are supposed to be able to see Austria and Switzerland from this area.
We found great food on the lake front. We had lunch outdoors under a canopy, we ate dinner at a Bavarian Tavern/Restaurant with a spirited owner. In the morning we wandered around the historic little city. There are also street vendors selling art just in front of the hotel. We found a couple of unique, inexpensive items.

Starting in the mid of 1997, ASEAN countries were hit by economic regional crisis due to depreciation against US dollar. Indonesia is the most heavily affected country among all countries in Asia. The crisis has reached various fields like politics, moral, education, science-technology, culture and religion. Multidisciplinary approach to handle crisis was not really much probably because the strong sectoral egoism. In response to the developing crisis, some youths of the nation with strong determination went hand in hand and got encouraged to contribute energy and thought to do social actions across the country.
As a follow-up, they then initiated public care entity which can move systematically. On December 10, 1999, a non-governmental organization named PKPU was formed as a foundation legal entity. PKPU is declared as an institution engaged in social field.
On October 8, 2001, based on the decree (SK) of Religious Minister No 441 PKPU has been recognized as the National Alms Agency (LAZNAS). It proves huge public trust to PKPU.
As the social activities can reach a wider scope to the entire Indonesia and more encouragement from public to cooperate in empowering the nation, in 2004, PKPU was determined to build the independence of Indonesia by expanding its work scope as a National Humanitarian Institution.
The performance of PKPU as humanitarian activist is clearly seen in its participation along with international NGOs in handling disaster emergency situation and reconstruction phase of disasters which hit the country like earthquake and tsunami in Aceh, Yogyakarta and many others.
As an institution which is getting strong in handling global humanitarian issues, work standardization and program development has motivated PKPU to put forward the quality of program and service by producing solutive contribution for people. The demand is answered by the acceptance of PKPU as "NGO in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations" on July 21, 2008, which demands periodic humanitarian performance accountability as the consequence of the status. In 2010, PKPU has been also registered as the National Social Organization based on the decree of Social Minister of Republic of Indonesia No 08/Huk/2010.

From: DB (22.214.171.124)
I have posted this now 3 times and no response...will you please give me some advice?....I had the BKT done in October of last year...it lasted 4 months. I only had a few issues with dry ends, but other than that it was alright. I also had a relaxer done around the same time. I am now growing my hair out and it has always been very thick. I noticed that now, my hair is much thinner (as of a few months ago)I understand the breakage is normal when growing out a relaxer, but I dont understand what is causing the thinning...I have never had any issues with think hair until after the treatment...any advice?

The Concept Lawn at Pebble Beach has again improved the phrase, "a gathering of exotics." Even if we've seen most of them before in other places, where else in the world would you see them not just in one place, but right next to one another in a space about as big as a suburban back yard?
Although its design prominently displays a number of its supercar inspirations, the Icona Vulcano puts them together so well that few would complain. It didn't swim alone in the deep end of the exotic pool, joined by the Aston Martin CC100 and Lamborghini Veneno concepts, and the absurdly absurd Laraki Motors Epitome.
Slightly closer to Earth hovered the DB9 Spyder Zagato Centennial, BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe, Jaguar Project 7, Superleggera Disco Volante Touring, Galpin Ford coachbuilt GTR1, the and the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept. Projects that were signposts to production cars included the Acura NSX, Lincoln MKC and Mercedes-Benz GLA concepts, and out back behind The Lodge, a Porsche 918 Sypder with its roof on.
The road-car ranks were no less Spyker B6 Venator Spyder concept, a concept in name only, the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante, an SRT Viper GTS refusing to be intimidated, the Rolls-Royce Wraith, a 1963 Lamborghini 350 GTV, Saleen George Follmer Edition Mustang and a Bentley Mulsanne Le Mans Limited Edition parked next to one of its forebears, a Bentley 4-1/2-Litre Supercharged.
Incredibly, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse Legend edition dedicated to Jean-Pierre Wimille didn't make the party. You can check out those who did attend in the high-res gallery above.

FLANSHAW URC: The service at Flanshaw United Reformed Chuch on Sunday at 10.45am will be led by John Wadsworth and will feature carol singing. On Tuesday next there will be a Christmas carol service at Flanshaw Lodge at 2.30pm. There will be no Wednesday Group next week; this will restart in the new year.
WAKEFIELD HOSPICE: The local fundraising group would like to thank everyone who supported the Christmas concert at St Paul's Church, presented by Wakefield Metropolitan Band and St Paul's School Choir. The young people performed really well in this, their first appearance at this annual event. The sum of £667 was raised.
LINDALE METHODISTS: The recent Christmas Tree festival raised the magnificent sum of £1,355 for church funds and thanks are expressed to everyone who supported the event. On Sunday there will be a family nativity service at 10.30am and lessons and carols for Christmas at 6pm. Next Thursday Kirkhamgate Family Church holds a Christingle service at 6.30pm.
KIRKHAMGATE WI: The village Women's Institute will be holding a Christmas party at Lindale Methodist Church on Tuesday, December 20 at 7.30pm.
ST PAUL'S CHURCH: This Sunday the service will be at 11am and will be led by Rev Meuryn Walker and his wife, Marjorie. Anyone who wishes to put a star on the Christmas tree in memory of someone is most welcome to do so. Alternatively you may wish to do this tomorrow morning when the church is open for light refreshments between 10am and noon. A further temporary repair of the roof by sticking felt in place of the stolen lead has been in progress this week in order to prevent water ingress into the church. A security system is now in place to protect future thefts from the roof when there is sufficient funding to carry out a permanent replacement of the lead. The financing of the work is enormous and the church has been well-supported by fundraising but any other financial support will be most welcome. Next Friday the Christingles are being prepared at 10am for the Christingle service at 5pm on Christmas Eve and, at the same time as the Christingles are being prepared, there will be a rehearsal for all the children who are taking part in the tableau at the service.

Avoiding Jet Lag When Traveling
Travel is pretty great. But there's one aspect of travel that isn't great at all: jet lag. Jet lag happens when your body attempts to adjust, immediately, to a change in time zone. It isn't just time change that happens with jet lag, however. You can have stomach issues and mood problems, too. Some things can exacerbate jet lag, including a greater number of time zones crossed and flying east instead of west.
But jet lag doesn't have to be a complete body and mind mess-up. Some steps can help, including staying well hydrated. You also have to be gracious with yourself—because jet lag happens and it takes time to recover from. You can also set your clock ahead before you even leave, helping your body adjust several days in advance of your trip. If you're unable to do that, you can immediately jump ahead to your destination's time zone once you get on the plane. Once you de-plane, don't let yourself go to sleep—keep yourself awake as long as possible, or at least until 10 p.m. It's a way of forcing your body and your mind to get in step with the place you're visiting.
Of course, resting on the plane can help you catch up on any sleep that you might be missing out by forcing your clock forward. Giving yourself the ability to add or subtract clothing based on how you feel on the plane can help too.
What else can you expect from jet lag, and how can you counteract it? This infographic can help.

Prevent jet lag from annihilating your life
Factors that increase the likelihood of jet lag
Jet lag
When your body's circadian rhythm needs to realign with a different light-dark schedule and daily routine.
Risk factors include:
- Flying east: Most people find it harder to fly east and travel forward in time.
- Number of time zones crossed: The more time zones you fly through, the greater the likelihood of jet lag.
- Being a frequent flyer: Surprisingly pilots, flight attendants, and business travelers who fly more often are likely to experience jet lag than less frequent flyers.
- Age: Older adults may need more time to recover from jet lag than younger flyers.
How to change your sleep cycle for international flights
Before the flight
- Select a flight that allows you to land early in the evening.
- A few days before traveling, set the clocks in your house to the destination time zone.
- Several days before the flight, go to bed earlier for an eastbound trip, and later for a westbound trip.
During the flight
- When boarding the plane, change your watch to the destination time zone.
- Sleep if you're tired, but don't try to force yourself to sleep or stay awake.
After the flight
- Try to stay up until 10 p.m.
- Go outside as much as possible. Your exposure to sunlight helps determine when you sleep and when you wake.
- The day after you fly into your destination, get up at a reasonable hour and resist napping.
- Avoid any strenuous exercise close to bedtime.
How to get some shut eye on a plane
Choose the window seat
- Window seats make it easier to lean against the wall of the plane.
- If possible, select a seat that mirrors your side of the bed (so if you typically sleep on your right side, choose a row on the right side of the plane)
Limit your carry-on lugguge
- If you have two full-size carry-on items, one may have to be stowed under your feet which will limit legroom.
Dress appropriately
- Wear breathable, comfortable clothing.
- Wear layers so you can adjust to the plane's temperature.
- Pack socks to slip on before you go to sleep.
Steer clear of caffeine
- Avoid coffee and tea which can hinder sleep.
Take it easy on tech
- Bright lights from a tablet or in-seat TV can prevent sleepiness.
Invest in some headphones and an eye mask
- Not only will these items block out sound and light, but they'll also send a signal to other people that you do not want to be bothered.
Keep your seatbelt visible
- If you're using a blanket, bucket your seatbelt over it so the flight attendant won't disturb you while you sleep.

The One You Want the Most could be the One You're Best Without
Newsflash family, no one really cares about what you want…only you! Sometimes life forces us to look past what we want because the Creator is trying to give us what we need instead. Determining the importance of needs over wants can be difficult especially in the selecting our circle of friends and loved ones but here's a new perspective to ponder to help.
When someone is trying to leave your life, whether you have done something wrong or not, you have to let them. Trying to block them will make them resent you. Trying to stop them is a disservice to you and trying to remind them of your importance in their life is pointless if they don't already see it. Yes, I understand you love them and I understand you may actually think at first that you need them. However, regardless of how much you want them there you never need anyone in your space that has to be forced, coerced or bribed to stick and stay on any day. The truth is that if you let them leave then that's one less person you have to focus on. In spite of the hurt, the energy you'd use to convince them to stay can be better spent making things happen around your way. Once they leave you do not have to close the door forever. You can let them back in if and whenever they wish to return. But in the meantime and in between time, you have to consider you are better without someone who doesn't want to be there for you. You deserve reverent friends who see the benefit of being in your space. Anything less is unnatural and there's enough artificial stuff in the world. Artificial over Authenticity is just stupid at best. Therefore, always remember when someone wants to leave your world the best bet is to let them go. As, the one we want the most, could be the one we are best without.
As always it is my pleasure to bring you another B Cyde Mental Meal to chew on throughout your week. As always Plan to JOIN the JAM with the show dubbed the Soul Train of Radio, Back on the B Cyde Saturdays at 11am only on 7mileradio.com

LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 3 (UPI) -- Airbus Helicopters has announced the delivery of the first of two H215 heavy-lift utility aircraft to Finland's Border Guard.
The helicopter arrived in Finland earlier this week following a training session at the Airbus Helicopters headquarters in Marignane, France. The second is scheduled for due for delivery in late spring.
"Finland is the eighth-largest country in the European Union but the most sparsely populated, with large sea areas and forest terrains and, due to the northern location, very challenging weather conditions for SAR [search and rescue] operations," Finnish Border Guard Col. Antti Pesari said. "The H215's avionics and autopilot, combined with its capability to provide excellent performance in day or night operations, are the reason why we are excited to have it join our fleet."
The H215 was previously known as the Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma. Eurocopter is now part of Airbus Helicopters. It has a cruise speed of about 153 mph, a range of 529 miles and a service ceiling of nearly 17,000 feet.
The Finnish Border Guard operates three AS332 aircraft and has a maintenance, repair and overhaul HCare contract to retrofit them to the new H215 multi-role configuration.
Announcement of the delivery was made at the Heli Expo Trade Show in the United States.
