Dating Website and My Boyfriend
I was over at my boyfriends house the other day and we were on his computer. I wanted to pick on him so I typed p in the search to see what porn he looked at. I have no problem with that since he is a guy. But I found plentyoffish.com pop up. I asked him what it was and he said it was just a site. So I clicked on it to see what it was, and found out it was a dating website. I asked him why he was looking at it and he said he just wanted to see how desperate people were. I saw he had an account because the name was saved. He then said he did it to help out his friend. So I asked to see his profile and he said no sign up for one...This bugged me. We got off his computer and he took a shower, while he was in the shower I got onto my computer and went looking for his account. I found it, it was all about him and what he was like. He got out of the shower, I asked again and he said no and that it was just talking about his friend. I told him I saw it and there was nothing about his friend. Then he's like alright I'll show you it, but since his house was having internet issues we couldn't get on it. So I told him to show me later, we went on with the rest of the day and I didn't think of it so I'd have a good day. Later on we got back home and I asked him to show me and he said it was stupid and wasn't going to show me. I stopped talking to him for awhile then we finally started talking. I asked him why he did it and he finally came up with a different anwser, that he wanted to see if there was any other girls that would still be interested in him but he wasn't cheating on me. We talked about it and I asked him questions like "are you not happy with me" (he said he was) and "am I not good enough for you to just be happy with" (he said I was) He said he wants to be with me and loves me more than anything and I love him too but I don't know what to do. Is it possible that he was just seeing if there'd be someone still into him or is it something more?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Relationships are all about trust in the first place - business, personal, romantic..it's all trust first.So the question is: do you want to trust this guy? if yes, then just do and get over this thing. If you have other things to make him trust less, then this could just be that little too much to take.One time, my girlfriend then and I were walking in a mall, and suddenly I heard a "Wow" slipped from her mouth - she saw this really handsome guy (I'm not the ugliest in the world, but this guy really was something :-p ). It struck me that at first I was taken aback from my own (jealous?) reaction, even though I knew it was meaningless, that one second of awkward feeling was there. What I'm trying to say is: there's ALWAYS better out there, as there is worse..if you really look hard, you'll always find something in anyone which you don't like, but in the end it is up to you which meaning you give to it. Is it a big deal? Not if you make it one. Honestly, if it would be a big deal, there would be other signs from him which are much more obivous. So yes, it's a bit immature for him to check who would like him on a dating site...ever heard of people googling themselves..? it's this kind of ("male") pride, all healthy men suffer from it. It's the "idea of" which makes us feel better of ourselves. I agree with you he shouldn't be lying so much about it - but yea it is quite embarrassing.. I wonder how many guys would openly admit they're watching porn even if their girl says she's open-minded about it (or vice versa!)Seeing at the length of your relationship, he's not the heartbreaker type...so give him some slack please :-)
I openly tell every girlfriend of mine I watch porn. If they have a problem with it, either they must deal with it or move on. If they enjoy it and want to watch together that's extremely welcomed. If they don't mind me watching and don't want to watch, I will respect their opinion and won't make it an issue. But, what I won't do is change myself and what I enjoy for anyone, just to make them feel better about themselves. You wondered, I felt I had to mention it.

If a girl can't accept that you watch porn then she has insecurities. and if you have to explain why you watch it, then obviously she doesn't understand guys very well...basically all men and a lot of women like to watch porn.There's nothing wrong with it unless of course you watch it 24/7.
Nice answer bro.Nice really nice.
What Guys Said 14
Wow that's trick. Seems he was getting a little sidetracked and thought about life without you for a second. He wanted to see if he still could attract girls. Honestly, this is natural. To a certain extent. But when you start making online profiles and actually conversing with other girls besides your own girlfriend, then you got trouble. Seems he backed away before he could loose you for good. The point is, do you still want him? Knowing he, for a second, wanted to see what it was like without you? I'd say you should put your foot down and tell him you deserve better. That ought to wake him up and realize what he has.
First of all, if you don't mind him looking at porn, have you actually told him this? Because if you had told him this, than perhaps "typing P" into his browser wouldn't have be a successful way of "picking" on him. Not to mention, why would you use that to "pick on him" in the first place? May-be you have self esteem issues? Did you want him to be like, "Oh no, you found my porn sites, you'll be mad at me now and I'll have to kiss your butt to make you forgive me."So... you find a dating site that he is registered on and find out he has a profile set up. So now you've opened up a can of worms that you weren't ready for huh? His reaction was natural. Cover it up instead of explain it. Either way, chances are, you won't believe either truth or false. Then he had time to think of a better way to explain it. It could very well be that he "wanted to see if other girls would like him". Perhaps he "might" feel that you don't like him enough. Perhaps you should ask yourself, "Am I happy with him?" and "Is he good enough for me?". ALSO "Do I make him feel like I love him and want to be with him?" Because I speak from experience and if I feel that a woman is really into me and I'm really into her, I'm not going to be on a dating website trying to "find out if other girls would be interested in me." Actually I know for a fact that a lot of girls are interested in me. So if I'm using a dating website it's to meet someone or find someone to date. So, perhaps he has low self esteem also if he really was on a dating site to see if other girls would like him?Just my honest opinions.
I do not care that he watches porn, (I watch as well sometimes) and he tells me he watches it. He knows this and yes it was to pick on him a little bit. I am overall confident with myself but like most girls I do have self esteem issues, not very many tho. After talking to him a lot about it, I kind of understand yet somethings are still weird. He knows clearly how I feel about him. We are talking and figuring everything out and I believe him and I know that he is not cheating on me.
What's to figure out? He was registered on a dating site "because he wanted to see if other girls would like him." There really isn't anything wrong with that. regardless of the fact that he currently has a girlfriend, he's still a man and entitled to get attention from other girls. Just as women pretty themselves up everyday and get attention from other men. Knowing how someone feels about you and feeling it are two different things. Good Luck.
Yeah, I wouldn't be too concerned. It was silly of him to make up the story about helping his friend, but it seems pretty innocent. I am in a relationship with a girl I really like but have a profile on hotornot.com. I am just curious at what score I will get and what matches will come up. It's more of an ego boost than anything else.
ya that is a little odd but I do admit I wonder if I'm still attractive to other girls all the time. its reassuring if other girls think your good looking your girlfriend probably does do. of course she is going to say she is cus you're together and in love but you still get curious and want to know. I wish the best for you too
hmm I don't know maybe if he was willing to show you it it would be alittle better but I don't like how he is saying he is looking for girls... he may just want attention or something, my girlfriend likes to call a phone sex line just cause she likes talking to people on it so I kinda know what ya mean but I don't mind it
First off, like I always say, a mans phone, email, and computer is his business. That is "Pandora's Box," what do girls expect to find while their snooping around; Jenny Craig's hot-line?Second off, he may have been telling you the truth. The way you say it happened sounds more as if their wasn't a real argument. That he really felt like it was stupid; it's like your mom catching you with porn. Him not trying to hide it, allowing you to get as far as seeing that he has a profile and not hit "Shut Down" must mean he felt like he didn't have much to hide. I'm saying, it's a dating site, he didn't go hook-up with Alecia the next morning, he may have flirted a bit.No, HELL NO, he made the site, he must of flirted a bit. But he may have a heart for you. I'm saying, he probably wanted to know if he could still swim after such long years. Or if he was just getting old too fast. My friend does the samething in his own way. He looks at other females, he talks about how good they look, but he never refers to them the say way he does with his girlfriend. They aren't "Amazing," their "Cute."Question though, and this will hopefully answer yours more directly. Was that the first time you accessed his computer, on his username? Because if I knew my girlfriend was "snoop" and liked to go threw my electronics, I would delete my history.
I believe he was telling me the truth about the website in the end. We've talked more about it and everything and I'm over it. It hurts that he lied about some of the stuff to start off with but I trust him and know he's not cheating on me. and no I've been on his computer multiple times to use it when we lived together but never snooped. When this happened we were on the computer together.
Well, there, you have your answer. Wish you all the best.
I can't say this is unexpected if he hasn't dated much before you. Basically, he's not unhappy with you, but he's got a case of wondering if the "grass is greener on the other side" because he hasn't had much experience to compare. So he's naturally wondering what other girls are like, if others would find him attractive, how much things would differ dating someone else, etc.Will he actually pursue something/someone if given the opportunity? That's hard to answer, although it's quite possible.Also, these kinds of doubts/curiosity don't usually just go away on their own. I'd be concerned if I were you about how ready he is to commit to you for the rest of your life.
What Girls Said 19
yeah...he's probably looking for additional female attention, something for his ego.do you trust him or did you have evidence he was solidly cheating? if I were in your position, that would be tough. yes I know what plenty of fish is but I've never been on those weird dating sites. right now, you don't know for sure. you'll just have to give him the benefit of a doubt but be vigilent, yes there is a probability he's seeing some or has seen another girl while with you.
are all you people on crack? no its not innocent. it will happen again too. I heard straight from a guys mouth who currently does the same thing as your boyfriend does...he said that if you forgive him once then he knows he can do it again and you will still be there for him. He wants to see what he can get away with. don't allow it...not once...not ever!
Toying with someone's emotions about such a responsibility as having a child is lame. That's a really serious life changing situation. If you're going to dump him then do it. Don't make his life hell. 2 wrongs are not going to make him or you right in the end. I believe his curiosity about these sites got the best of him regardless of how many he solicited himself to. It is a way to obtain free porn and yes I too would be taken aback if I were in this situation. However, there is no doubt in my mind that toying with a guy - that only looked didn't touch - about being pregnant with his child is so immoral. That's not fair and in no way does it compare to him visiting personal sites in his private time. Like I said his curiosity got the best of him. Best Wishes~bnwsmile
I was really p*ssed off when I wrote that. I told him the next time I talked to him that it was just a joke, I wasn't going to do that to him. Even though he hurt me a lot by doing that, I still love him more than anything. I know he does love me but at the same time it's hard to trust him.
I understand 100% where you're coming from. You feel that it is an intrusion on your relationship and you want it barred. Yet you have realized that it is his life and you have no control over his actions. You can only persuade him to remove himself from it because it makes you feel sort of pushed to the side. Trust me I understand. You need to tell him how you feel then you need to forget about this mess and try to trust him if you want it to work out. Overcoming this will make you stronger.
He lied to you. I don't care how long you two have been dating, he lied to you. For his friend? Wow, good cover up. If its for his friend he could of had the information at least about his friend and a picture of him. lol. He is not gonna show because he's lieing, and when he does show its cause he already deleted the messages in the sent box and the inbox. I met my boyfriend off of plenty of fish and since we've been together; I have never gone back to that site. No even to "just see how desperate people are".
My best friend met a guy just like your describing and he even gave her his password and email for the site and at first there wasn't any messages from girls when she'd check it and then he changed the password, and she figured out what he changed it to and he was sending and receiving messages from girls like crazy; he was telling all these other girls the same things he was saying to her. So why BS? Waste of time and life. You shouldn't have to be worried about that kinda stuff.
I totally understand how you feel, but I think it probably is fairly innocent. I think its kind of a combination of what Jake and anonymous both said... its probably a bit of an ego boost to see if he's attractive to other girls, even if he's not interested (like how married men sometimes flirt without any sort of motive other than to see if they are still desirable even if they truly have no intention of any kind of affair). I think its probably also that he is curious about other girls who could be interested in him. In the end though, he's been with you 2.5+ years... that tells me he loves you, not them. I really wouldn't worry about him cheating...I think its curiosity.He shouldn't have lied about it in the first place, but if he really is just curious then he probably was afraid of you taking in the wrong way (which you kind of did, understandably... anyone would). Let him know that if he's just curious, that's okay and he should be honest about it with you instead of hiding it, because that makes it more suspicious and it makes you worry.
It's time to leave him alone. He's fishing for other girls on plentyoffish and he's also looking for random sex encounters. Thank God you caught on and keep it moving. There are diseases out there! You don't wan to become a statistic. I'm not just talking HIV either. There's Hep and Herpes, you know, the gifts that keep on giving. You don't need that in your life. Find someone else that's not whoring themselves on the internet.
I'm in a similar situation. We met on cougarlife.com and we've been dating just over a year. He says I'm his girlfriend and refers to me to his friends as such. He tells me he love me and we're very close. I recently received an email from cougarlife to reactivate or delete my account...as I went on to delete my account I had a look at our initial messages to each other and saw he was listed as one of my favorites. I clicked on his profile and low and behold, it was active...with new pics, etc. I confronted him about it and he said that his cousin (whom could be an identical twin) was using the profile. I created a fake profile and have lured his "cousin" to the point of a meeting this Monday. I do and I don't want to show up for the meeting because if I see him and not his cousin, it's the end. I'm hurt but if I continue with eyes closed, I'll be hurt even more...agree?
i've been in a recent arguement with my boyfriend as well. I found out he had a dating webpage and he said it was really old and just because he was sneaking on me (we met on this site and found out we live 20 minutes away..yay internet). I didn't take the internet dating website seriously at all, he just randomly contacted me and I was astonished at how such a good looking guy would be on one of those sites. we would go into chatrooms and harass people because we're just so mature, and he says that why he kept making new pages. I finally told him how upset it made me, and I saw he didn't log in for a months but it still bothered me. I feel a lot of guys do this just so they can look at more women and flirt. he probably isn't doing anything, unless he's getting naked pictures. just trust him. that's all you have to do is trust. if he says he loves you, then he does. don't worry about it. tell him it upset you and maybe he'll delete his account. that's why my boyfriend did. trust me, if he's the right one for you there has to be a valid explanation.
You actually believed him? Sorry, but I've seen this way too many times. He is not on there just to see if other girls will like him. He's on there to find someone to keep on the side, and you know it. Don't listen to these guys telling you it's normal or innocent. If he just wanted to look at naked girls, there are plenty of other websites for just looking. He went to a dating website. He isn't just looking. When caught in a lie, people will say anything to get out of trouble so they won't have to deal with drama. Dump him, and find a real man. Guys wonder why women snoop, but did they ever consider that they don't have the right to string us along?
I think that once you start checking your partners stuff (phone,computer,ect.) That maybe it is time to re-evaluate your relationship. Its either your getting a feeling that he was doing something behind your back that made you look, or your just not confident and trusting. Either way maybe you just need to take some time for yourself. And remember to not ask a question you may not like the answer to.
I don't agree with those that are saying that this is innocent and not a big deal. I don't think it matters that he hasn't dated much before you or that he's just curious. It's not right...think about it if it was reverse. Would he be ok if you created a profile on a dating site? Probably not. He's been with you for so long, he's happy with you and he says that he loves you. If all those things are true, why he does need other girls to be attracted to him? I don't get that. I don't think you should break up with him over this or anything, but definitely get to the bottom of this. But if he's created a profile, then chances are he's also talking and flirting with these girls, and that's not ok.

Samsung Brings Another Unbeatable Product To The Table!
By TexxiA
from Manchaca, TX, USA
This 50" plus-sized TV is thin and light. It can be carried by one person, and yet, it had deep, true color, with no need to adjust 100 different settings to achieve a reasonable picture quality. This product shows true 1080p and I love the USB flash drive reading feature. It is a great TV for the price.

from Charlotte, NC
I ordered this t.v. because it was such a deal and also because I have had success with Samsung in the past. I was not let down. The resolution is only 720 but at the end of the day its a good, clean, reasonably price t.v. with a good sized screen.

There is a customer who after using One step checkout of Magestore, has written his feelings of this module on his own blog. Let's take a little time to listen to his sharing!
(.Commercers – a German company specializing the conception, creation, and operation of online shops and SEO as well as SEM improvement)
Here is his comment on One step checkout:
"We are now using two different versions of One Step Checkout for various shops. One step checkout of Magestore must be the most recently installed checkout because of several points:
- better
- very good support
- good adjustment
You could have this extension with just $ 149. Compared to the extension of One Step Checkout or Idev, this module is far cheaper while saving much time to configure and fitting basic functions as well)
I have found very easy to install the extension and let it work as I wish. The One step checkout backend provides a wide range of adjustments including fields to be displayed in the checkout.
Possibilities can be clearly seen:
- Different shipping address input Yes / No
– The standard payment and delivery methods
– Some preferences as Default country / city, etc.
– Shipping method to hide when there's only one yes / no
– Default layout (3 columns / 2 columns)
– Login option type Yes / No
– Registration option Yes / No
– Guest Yes / No
– Ajax functionality on the field
– Terms de-/activate / order terms and defining
– Order Notification de-/activate and define
And now a point that is very important: If you operate functionality not as desired or even missing, you can be taken directly to Magestore Support system. They will help you quickly and conscientiously. No question, "Have you ordered support" or "You need a support hour = $ X to be booked again."
We had two problems that were solved more or less overnight. There was a problem that if no payment option was not available, information was also displayed, and got no error message.
Secondly, the Terms and Conditions box that appears after clicking while in the back is nice match in size, but there was no scroll function so that for large GTC the display was quite long. Both problems were solved quickly and as I said overnight. We got an email with either matched or file with the code was changed.
I feel totally satisfied with this extension. I'm looking forward to their next update version because there have been some changes of Germany law on e-commerce shopping. Good luck and thank you, Magestore!"

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla.- Things are back to normal at a Charlotte County bank after it was evacuated earlier this morning. Employees at the Wells Fargo bank on Tamiami Trail called officials after they smelled what they thought was gas.
Fire crews, including a Special Operations crew, determined it was not a gas leak, but a strong chemical smell left behind by some of cleaning products a crew used overnight.
The bank has re-opened.

Shopping for kids (even and sometimes especially your own) can be challenging because you want them to love it, but you also want to practice eco-friendliness and wouldn't it be great it if was intellectually stimulating, too? It's natural for adults to want to help kids have fun and learn at the same time, and that can certainly be possible, but the simple truth is that sheer play alone can be a great learning tool for kids. So stop worrying that a fun toy is "only" going to be fun because first of all there's nothing wrong with that, and secondly there's no telling what the young recipient is really getting out of it.
Before shopping, assess what you know about the child and her parents (such as preferences about origins of toys, thoughts on controversial toys like guns, and the like). If you know the child well, they're probably not shying about sharing what they like, what they want and their hobbies or passions. Another temptation is to get caught up in the fun of toy shopping and getting something you like as opposed to what the kid likes. If they love Barbie, a groan-inducing trending toy or video games (and their parents are okay with these), then that's a great starting point. However, if you need a little more direction, here are 10 ideas to get you started.
1. A bike
Yes, it's a classic child's "toy" and can be expensive, but there are bikes for nearly every budget and if the recipient doesn't already have one, they certainly don't need a professional one. However, it's the perfect choice for gift givers who just can't give up on encouraging physical activity, and every child deserves a bike. It's great for fitness, incredibly fun, and it's a skill that's best learned as a child. There was a time when it seemed every kid had a bike, and that's a revival that needs to happen.
2. MakerBot Replicator 2
This 3-D printer lets kids make copies of a number of things, kind of like that episode of The Big Bang Theory when the guys decided to make action figures of themselves, but without costing thousands of dollars. Kids can design their own toy via free software such as Google's SketchUp or download a number of ready-made designs. The world of 3-D printing has become a reality, with pros in Japan offering the staple make your own action figures and NASA using them to print rocket parts, so why shouldn't kids get in on the fun, too?
3. LEGO Minecraft
Minecraft is one of those games that withstood the test of time and all generations can't get enough of. If LEGO strikes the fancy of kids on your shopping list, check out LEGO Minecraft which is just what it sounds like: A Minecraft game that you can build and destroy yourself. While this company is a favorite of many kids, going the Minecraft route lets younger kids get in on the fun and sidesteps some more controversial possibilities (such as war-focused LEGO kits) while keeping in the cool factor.
4. Twistz Bandz Rainbow Loom
There were snap bracelets and friendship bracelets, but the hottest thing for this crop of a generation is the Twistz Bandz, which sold out during the holiday season and kids still haven't had enough of this craze. It's a make your own bracelet kit and everyone wants them from Girl Scouts to high school seniors. Not only do they require your own handiwork, but they come in endless colors and are latex-free. One kit makes 24 bracelets, but the up and coming designer can get a "fix" with a refill kit.
5. Hot Wheels Car Maker Playset
It's one thing to collect Hot Wheels and a totally different one to be able to build your own. All kids love these hot rods, but wouldn't it be better if that classic Mustang was pink, or that Trans Am had a red firebird instead of the classic yellow (or maybe a dinosaur instead). It only takes minutes to make your own creation with this easy to use set, and it comes with a car maker, three sticker sheets, and one proto shotz was stick so the up and coming car designer is in full control of their custom ride.
6. Simon
Yes, it's that Simon, the classic memory game but with a few updates to ensure it's securely in 2014 and not just a novel throwback piece. All the basics are still there, and the game is the same, but it now has a digital screen and new special effects. Plus, the batteries are included so that's one less thing to worry about. If you want to share a favorite childhood game with the kids in your life, you may have forgotten how addictive Simon can be but don't worry, you'll remember soon (especially since Simon helps with the whole memory thing).
7. Old Hollywood Barbie
Barbie has been facing a lot of media attention lately, but there's something about this classic Mattel doll that never goes out of style. However, if you're worried about her sometimes skimpy clothes, there are plenty of special Barbies available that are a nod to Hollywood's golden era, complete with more stunning and modesty ensembles.
8. Elf on a shelf
This is a classic winter holiday game and toy, but you can't wait until the end of December to give this to the kids. It's something every home should have, and giving it to a child during a non-holiday season is a great way to get them thinking about Santa early. Plus, they'll need to have this toy as soon as Thanksgiving is over, so it's a perfect gift any time of year.
9. A classic Disney on Blu-Ray
With Frozen winning Academy Awards and seemingly endless new animated movies rolling out non-stop, it's easy to forget about the classics. That's a mistake. Introduce the child in your life to your own favorite Disney classics, made better on Blu-Ray. Check with parents to see if the child has seen it first.
10. An experience day with you
By far the best gifts are making memories, and a day of exploration, play or simple bonding is a great gift. Go to the zoo, the library, a new spot for lunch or spend the day drawing together. Tangible gifts are great things, but they're no replacement for building a relationship and sharing time together.
Of course, sharing time together while playing with fun toys is a win-win scenario. Be sure to check out our deals on toys and games if you're looking to spend time with your kids while engaging in a fun activity.

Joe Nichols Releases 'Hard to Be Cool' Lyric Video
Joe Nichols has released the lyric video for his new single, 'Hard to Be Cool.'
Joe Nichols has released the lyric video for his new single, 'Hard to Be Cool.'
Joe Nichols stopped by the Taste of Country Nights studio to chat with host Sam Alex about baseball, his new baby and getting fired from his late-night Djing gig.
Joe Nichols recently underwent serious back surgery, but he's back out on the road even if he's in a little pain.
Joe Nichols' 'Yeah' music video is inventive and entertaining. Instead of taking place on an elaborate set, the singer and actors involved in the video actually turn into a real-life comic strip.
Joe Nichols is a father for the third time. His wife Heather gave birth to Georgia Nichols on Tuesday morning.
Joe Nichols and his wife, Heather recently announced ecstatically that they are expecting their second child. But big sister Dylan, 21 months, isn't rooting for a brother ... or a sister!
Joe Nichols' new single 'Yeah' keeps the feel-good vibe of 'Sunny and 75' alive. On paper, the story comes across as a track that was all too popular in 2013, but the singer's warm voice wraps the listener up like a good hug on chilly country night. His song is different because he's not trying so hard.
Congrats are in order for Joe Nichols and his lovely wife, Heather. The couple is expecting their second baby together, news that the singer happily revealed on social media.
Being on the road a lot can take its toll on country stars, especially when they have to leave a family behind. Joe Nichols makes it a point to take his family along for the ride whenever it's possible, because he knows it's not always easy for them.
Country Jam 2014 in Grand Junction, Colo. just got a whole lot bigger. Brantley Gilbert has just been announced as a performer for this four-day festival, one of the biggest and longest-running in the country.
'Crickets' is a fine way to describe Joe Nichols' new album. The singer aims for a relax-on-the-riverbank vibe with many of the mid-tempo cuts on this project. The album begins and ends with crickets ( literally), and in between it offers a fairly level ride.
Before the last fun-filled weeks of summer are behind us, Joe Nichols wants to remind us to capture the carefree days of the season with his 'Sunny and 75' video.

About this title: What was it about Sage Bristo that drew women to her? Maybe it was the tall, toned body and androgynous good looks. Perhaps they liked her confidence -- her movements and manner so sure and decisive. Or was it the air of mystery, the temptation of a challenge to unravel? Sage couldn't explain the attraction, but she had certainly benefited from it, at least physically. Women would do anything for her. But never the woman she needed the most -- the one woman who could lead her through the realm of desire, to the one thing ...

Innovative Bus Stop Ad Provides Engagement, Useful Data for Skiers
Engadget reported several weeks ago about this unique bus stop advertising display in Norway that actually produces "snow." Tryvann Winter Park was looking for a means to not only engage potential visitors, but also to provide valuable information for skiers: namely, is it snowing? Since it could easily be snowing at Tryvann and sunny and warm(ish) in nearby Oslo, Tryvann needed a way to remind commuters and potential customers that despite the weather in Oslo, the slopes were ready and waiting for them just 15 minutes away–close enough for a last-second decision that might, indeed, be based on the weather at Tryvann.
Leading outdoor advertiser JCDecaux came up with a technology that allowed a text message from Tryvann to activate a display of swirling, fake "snow" in an otherwise clear glass panel. This technology provided Tryvann with a means to update their own display (by texting when snow was falling) and provide an engaging call to action to come vist the resort. What makes advertising like this so effective and, dare I say it, welcome is not just the "oh wow" factor of seeing it snow at a bus stop, but the fact that the display actually provided desirable, real-time data that a skier would want to know, catching that skier in transit and potentially at a time and place where they might consider a quick weekend trip to Tryvann. When out of home advertising is interactive and creative, it leads to engagement–but when it actually provides desirable information to a target in a receptive setting, it can be magic. Kudos to TBWA/Oslo, JCDecaux and Tryvann Winter Park for an innovative and effective campaign.

Heritage and Rare Poultry - Ducks
Ancona Ducks
Ancona ducks are an all purpose breed. They grow fairly quickly and weigh around 6-6.5 lbs. Anconas will lay between 210-280 eggs per year and can be white, cream or blue. Duck eggs are high in protein and are excellent for baking and eating. Their meat is very flavorful and less fatty than most Pekin ducks. Anconas make a good small farm or homestead duck as they tend to stay close to home and do not fly. They have a calm personality and make good pets. Although Anconas come in a variety of colors, we here at MLH raise the black and white variety. Ancona ducks are listed as critical on the conservation list with ALBC.
We should have eggs available late spring.

Steve Howlett is the chief executive of Peabody, one of London's oldest and largest housing associations. Last month Peabody responded to the government's "pay-to-stay" proposals, which, if implemented, would mean social housing tenants on higher incomes having their rents increased. Howlett wrote:
We fully support the principle behind these proposals. With so many on the waiting list who can't access affordable housing, we think it's right that better off tenants who can afford a higher rent are asked to contribute more...[But] the scheme as it has been presented would raise enormous challenges for social landlords to implement. How much does someone have to earn to be considered a "high earner"? How will landlords identify these tenants? What happens when people's circumstances change and their income fluctuates suddenly?
He continues:
No doubt all the administrative challenges could be overcome. But given the relatively low estimates of tenants earning salaries above 60,000, the additional income generated from higher rents for landlords to invest in new affordable homes, is likely to be small.
The headline of Howlett's article is "Pay to stay? Here today, gone tomorrow?" I'm tempted to read the latter as a rhetorical question. Like other coalition policy wheezes generated by the Minister Previously Known As Michael Green, the attraction of "pay-to-stay" for the government seems to be more about public relations than serious solutions, presenting endless opportunities to say "Bob Crow" in public and allowing the chorus of hisses to drown out sane debate.
A piece for the blog of Hammersmith and Fulham (HF) Tories posted three days after Howlett's illustrates well this triumph of panto over policy. "It cannot make sense for Londoners on six figure salaries to receive social housing when there are so many in real need of it," it boomed, but though it banged on about the RMT leader it didn't say how many six-figure salary social housing tenants in London there actually are.
It did, however, trumpet HF's intention from next year to prevent households earning more than 40,200 from applying for social housing, while, "A new focus will be placed on helping local low to middle earners." It also praised August's Policy Exchange report advocating a sell-off of high value council-owned homes, "allowing the government to use the funding to build new affordable homes."
Let's leave aside the small matter of a massive redevelopment project that HF backs proposing precious little housing for "local low to middle earners" but plenty for wealthy investors. Let's forget for the moment the government's definition of an "affordable" home for rent being up to 80% of local market levels, which for many Londoners wouldn't be very "affordable" at all.
Let's instead remind ourselves that the shortage of social housing is already so acute that next to no one bringing in 40,200 a year stands a chance of being allocated one as it is, so HF's announcement is little more than crowd-pleasing noise.
As for Policy Exchange's idea - one in close keeping with the desire of Stephen Greenhalgh, the man who led HF from 2006 until earlier this year to do away with social housing altogether - Tony Clements has argued persuasively at Progress that it would be bad social policy, bad business, and no way at all to foster prosperous, resilient communities.
Like their benefit caps, the housing policies of the coalition and its trailblazers on the ground are a wasteful combination of gimmicks, ideological zeal and a lust for populist headlines that are having a particularly bad effect on low and middle-income Londoners. And so the crisis deepens.

Just what I wanted. Great for strengthening your ankles and can be used for other exercises as well. Improves balance. November 11, 2014
Great fitness tool Love the bosu ball. Came with an exercise video that is great help. My daughter also uses it for ballet balance exercises. October 9, 2014
It's amazing. Everyone should have one I was introduced to this devise while working out at a local fitness center. With continued use, you will see results. September 12, 2014
Best investment in my health I used this at my local gym with a personal trainer for months. I can't afford a personal trainer forever but I found using this to be really the best way to keep exercise fun. It comes with a exercise DVD as well which was a bonus. Although it seems expensive, its a small investment if you use it and I do even while watching TV! Enjoy.... August 25, 2014
Great product! The Bosu Balance Trainer is a wonderful product for balance and core training. This one is less expensive than the professional version and the quality is very good. As an added bonus, it comes with a foot pump and a DVD. August 10, 2014
Bosu Ball Great piece of equipment! Glad I got the great deal! August 7, 2014
Great balance trainer Easy to inflate, quality materials, instruction booklet even has exercises to accompany this! August 5, 2014
Well made product I've only had this for about a week. Purchased it primarily to simulate an inclined plane for sit-ups (albeit slight incline) and is works quite well for that, by allowing more extension than sitting on a floor. Will investigate other uses through the video that came with it. Although I'm still blown away by the price, it appears to be well made and should last a long time. I wish it could stand up to sunlight as I was kind of hoping to set up an exercise station outdoors by the pool. July 23, 2014
very versatile I`ve just started a new exercise program for back problems so core exercise and balance are very important. The BOSU Balance trainer is perfect for my program. April 23, 2014
wife loves it This ball and the did are a great addition to the workout. Best price in town toom February 27, 2014

When I met George W. Bush...PLEASE READ

Ok,this event has stuck with me over the years and I have thought about it nearly every day since it happened. I would definitely consider it top 3 weirdest things that have ever happened to me.
My dad was a Secret Service agent (recently retired) and because of this, I was "privileged" enough to meet a lot of our Presidents/V.P's/dignitaries/etc. None of the times I met any of them was very significant, except for this one:
We went to the White House Christmas Party in December of 2001. I was 18 or 19 at the time (my birthday is the 12th and I don't remember what day the party was), and was a recently converted Christian (I got saved at about 4am on 9/11/2001, but that is a different story). All of the families of the staff and secret service agents got to go to this party, and have their picture taken with President Bush and the First Lady, and we were all standing in line to go in for the picture, before the dinner. The room where they were taking the pictures was a rather large meeting room with nothing in it besides a large Christmas tree, the Bush's, an aid or two and the photographers (and a few SS agents). When we were next in line to go into the room, I heard the President say my name from around the corner "Dan, where is Dan?", the way an uncle would say that before he saw you and then say "there he is" (my name is not Dan, changed for the story). Apparently, (I am assuming this because I have never asked him) my dad told the aid that was taking us into the room my name, and she told the President, and he just said that to try and be affable or friendly or whatever.
I thought right off the bat that was weird because my two brothers were there too, but he only said my name, so I am not sure why my dad only told him my name (if in fact my dad told the aid that).
As we walked around the corner into the room, that is when things took a terrible turn. As I rounded the corner my eyes scanned the room, the first thing I noticed was Laura Bush, smiling, warm and friendly looking. Then I saw President Bush, who, once again said "which one is Dan?" smiling his goofy smile. My dad introduced me first, because he was asking for me, and I will never forget what happened next. His face went from a kidding-around, smiling, joking demeanor to hard and frowning in an instant. The best way I could describe his reaction was if someone introduced you to a person as "here is the person that killed your father". The smile dropped immediately. His face went from friendly and jesting to anger, disgust and almost a "I can't believe you let him in here" type of look. I felt my face flush as I shook his hand and smiled, but inside I wanted to run away as fast as I could. He didn't say a word to me, just stared me down. I have never felt as awkward in my entire life as I did at that moment, and so out of place. The rest of my family shook his hand and his smile and joking manner returned, and I am almost positive that no one else saw what happened, because if they did I am sure they would have said something about it by now. As we walked out of the room I looked back over my shoulder (I was almost in a state of shock at this point) and he was staring at me with that same death-look on his face. We went back into the dining hall and finished dinner, and the whole time it was all that I could think about. "What just happened?!" "Was that real?!" "Did he see some kind of evil in me?!" type questions poured through my thoughts over and over.
Also that night, George H.W. Bush came to the dinner for just a second, said hi, and left. But as he was leaving, he went over to my brother and rubbed his shaved head, making my brother turn a beet-red color and all of the people standing around laughed hysterically. I would have laughed too, if I hadn't been so shaken up by what just happened to me. Instead, I just sat in silence the rest of the night, completely disoriented as to what took place.
Looking back on the whole thing I still have tons of questions that I cannot come up with answers to, like:
If my dad didn't tell him my name, how did he know it?
If my dad did tell him, why did he just tell him my name?
Why did his look/demeanor/everything about him change so violently?
Did my family notice? If so, why have they never said anything about it?
Assuming it did happen like I remember it (which if it didn't I am officially crazy), what does it mean!?!?!
Is it possible that he saw in me something that triggered him to know that I would discover the truth about the NWO,9/11, etc?
Did it have anything to do with me being a Christian? I have read how the devils knew who Jesus was, and even one said "Paul we know, Jesus we know, but who are you?"
Is it possible that it was a demon-type situation that recognized a child of God and got offended?
At the time, I thought he was a stand-up guy, that was a Christian and was going to save our nation from the terrorists that did the attacks on our soil. I know now the truth about 9/11 (I found Loose Change in 2006 and have been researching it since then), and that he was likely a big part of the attacks, not the one to save us from them. Like I said, I think about this nearly every day and still have more questions than answers. Well, that is my story and I am sticking to it, anyone else have similar experiences or any insight into what happened to me? Thanks for reading GLP, you guys rock!
Assuming this story isn't complete BS, then I'd say you are a schizophrenic.
