Or, you know, you could link to a site that is Canadian content and updated as of 2009.. :roll: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/cig-gci/p01-tab01-eng.php Politics and cerb shouldn't mix, but if you're going to link to a site that is run by a REVEREND with a personal agenda.. Just goes to show you're not fully researching both sides of the facts.

I don't see any recommendations or detail on those listed in the Herald. I am wondering if there is a specific reason for this. I would imagine that one reason is that there is no transparency in those paper ads. Just a lot of enticing words and the potential for, when you do meet, you may find yourself in an awkward position perhaps. Has anyone had to use the good old brush-off excuse when Jabba The Hut appears and you have absolutely no choice but to reply: "well, what an unpleasant and blood-curdling surprise. Now if you'll excuse me, my salad is getting cold"? This is a frightening reality I would say. I know I'd be rather prompted to exit stage left in such an incident.

you must be out of kleenex to do something like this

that's very funny...but you must remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...;-)

I find phrases like saggy tits, average, overweight, chubby and limited sexiness are very subjective terms and should used with great caution. Saggy to some are pendulous to others and very sought after. What is average? Overweight and chubby are hurtful at best. Limited sexiness? WTF? Maybe there simply was no chemistry. Sexy takes two to happen. These girls have access to this material and I for one would be deeply offended if I were to read this about myself. Women already struggle with body image, this kind of description is unnecessary. It is why we have PM's. There is something to be said for tact and good taste. Cat

I kind of like the 1812 overture. :P Actually depending on the mood you are going for, Enigma's first album with Mea Culpa and the Principles of Lust on it is pretty good.

Taken from: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/emu/pan_flu/ What is an influenza pandemic? An influenza pandemic is a flu outbreak distinguished from seasonal influenza by its scope and seriousness. It becomes a worldwide epidemic, or pandemic, when a disease spreads easily and rapidly through many countries and regions of the world and affects a large percentage of the population where it spreads. How does an influenza pandemic start? The viruses that cause ordinary/seasonal influenza ? or ?flu? ? are constantly changing. An influenza pandemic starts when a new strain of flu virus emerges, and is different from common strains. Because people have no immunity to the new virus, it can spread quickly and infect hundreds of thousands of people. Influenza pandemic strains can develop when an animal or bird virus mixes with a human virus to form a new virus. With the H1N1, they are estimating that 35% of the population will be infected, compared with 10% for the seasonal flu. It is a new strain that the general population has no natural immunity to, thus the higher infection rates. Generally, influenza strains result in 2000 to 8000 deaths annually; with H1N1 we are looking at 80 deaths in 2009 [current of October 15th]. The main threat of H1N1 is that we have no natural immunity to this strain, thus the higher infection rates, and also why we are seeing deaths in different population categories [they are now saying H1N1 is higher in women 18-60 years of age]; adults 18-65 years of age are at a higher risk of infection and serious symptoms. Children are not at a high risk for serious illness/outcome, but are a main source of spreading the virus to more vulnerable groups given the nature of school-recreation-home routines. Basic moral of the story: If you feel sick, STAY HOME. I cannot stress this enough. Too many people are shrugging off symptoms, however mild, and are continuing their routine - infecting others in their workplace, etc. Many places are offering guidelines and extended sick leave to encourage their employees to stay home.
