Ouch. that is not true. You have this all wrong... This site was actually made for the ladies and the community as a whole - not for just the guys! This site is all about community, sp friendly environment, a place where the ladies can contribute and not worry about some jerk slandering them or a mob of posters jumping all over her and making her feel unappreciated. A free place for them to promote themselves and a place for everyone to enjoy. I would agree that the review boards are for the guys. The other "escort discussion forums" that allow slander and hate posts are made solely for the guys as well. Many of these other sites force the ladies to pay for ads in order to advertise on the site! Even though this site is supported by escorts-canada we do not force the ladies to advertise with us in order to use cerb... we even installed a very expensive live chat room (With audio and video) so the ladies could promote themselves on here in real time! I am shocked to see someone say that this site was built for the guys! The guys coming to the site is for YOUR benefit and the traffic that leaves this site and visits escorts-canada is for the benefit of the advertisers on escorts-canada (and in turn a benefit to us). More importantly we are doing something positive for the community here!! Something positive for the industry as a whole. When we developed the site I actually wrote most of the business plan (as it was mostly my brain child) but it was a group effort by all our staff to create this site. (This is from the original business plan of the site) ............................... Goals 1) Our main goal is to develop a new type of escort discussion site unlike anything currently running. This is to prove that a positive discussion site without slander, hate or fighting can become successful and build a positive community for the escort industry in Canada. Our goal would be to make the discussion site a safe and friendly place where the ladies would not feel threatened, become slandered, harassed or be afraid to contribute in the discussions with the men and other ladies. The feedback we receive from many of the ladies indicates that they are often afraid to post on public discussion boards in fear that the competition, a bad volunteer moderator or a bad date would slander them and damage the ladies reputation. Our goal would be to build a discussion site where the ladies would not feel threatened to respond and contribute. A environment where a positive community can be established the benefits everyone involved (the ladies, the men and us by bringing new advertisers and new traffic to our escort directories). Over time we feel the guys will appreciate this environment more as well but we expect a great deal of resistance from the male community at first and will be a uphill battle to win over the men with this new format of discussion site. 2) A place where the ladies could promote themselves for free (this would bring some of the unreachable ladies to the site that would not normally advertise with escorts-canada - The legitimate ladies who do not wish to purchase paid ad space or are just starting out and can not afford to pay for advertising. This would give them an alternative to supporting new escort directories who offer free trial ads and would draw traffic to our network instead of supporting these "new" sites. From our research we find that some of the ladies would rather post daily ads for the days they are available to work as opposed to monthly subscriptions. This reason may still be an excuse to save money by avoiding purchasing ads but we are missing out on those ads for our visitors. By offering a free place for these ladies to post daily ads we will regain some of that lost traffic. Posting daily ads requires a lot of "extra leg work" for the lady (or agency) but some do prefer this and it would give those advertisers a alternative to using sites like ******** and *******) 3) Create a community based site where the men and the ladies could openly discuss the industry in a positive way, in public view to show the world that the stereotypes of this industry are wrong. This would be a open public forum to show the people outside of this industry as well that the media is only portraying the negative elements of this industry. 4) Launch a bad date section for the ladies that would be readily available to all escorts-canada and localescorts advertisers as well as advertisers who routinely use new discussion site. This would be a PRIVATE area where the ladies could warn one another and help each other out. 5) We would moderate the site in-house to remove unwanted advertisers (spam, bait and switch, trickery posts, dangerous encounters, etc.). We would use paid staff members to moderate the site on a joint moderation account (as opposed to having a volunteer based moderation). Development Costs Instead of spending money on advertising with other discussion boards that reinforce the negative stereotypes of the industry we could use the advertising revenue to launch this new discussion site where we can ensure the ladies, industry and our own reputation are upheld. This way would not be seen as a company that "supports" these slanderous sites when trying to acquire escort traffic for our network of escort directories. ............................... Now as for being made by all guys... I admit most of us on the development side are guys but not all... Many of you who advertise with escorts-canada or localescorts have spoken with Carolyn at our head office. She has been a HUGE contributor to the development of cerb and helps with the moderation (less these days but in the beginning she was a huge part of cerb and she still does help out a lot). Back in the first year a lady named Heather was also a huge part of the site development as well but she is no longer with our company (but still a very good friend to us all here) Plus a number of the industry ladies who we have long working relationships with advise us on many things. We often bounce idea's back and forth with these ladies and ask for their advise. This is now a COMMUNITY site but please do not ever think this is a site BUILT FOR GUYS FOR GUYS as that is not true and I am very upset that one of the ladies would make this statement. I just wanted to set the record straight so that everyone knows exactly what this site was intended for and is all about.

I had the pleasure to visit with Megan for the first time yesterday. Contact via email was handled very efficiently. Her location in Orleans was immaculate, as was her personal appearance. Megan is a pretty blonde, she is short, has beautiful natural breasts, a very well proportioned body and her overall looks are clearly younger than her advertised 39 years. My first thought when she opened the door was that she looked better than what I was expecting from her pictures. And I liked her pictures in the first place! At all times, Megan made me feel very welcome and unrushed. She was friendly, affectionate, and responsive. Kissing is important to me and, if the increased intensity of our kissing throughout the session is any indication, she enjoys it too. For those of you who enjoy the more aggressive ladies, Megan appears to prefer letting the gentleman take the .lead.. I will not get into further details of our encounter. But suffice to say it was a delightful and intense experience and the shower afterwards was a necessity. My parting words to her were: .You are beautiful, sexy and sensuous, I will be back.. For those of you looking for the model look spinner, Megan is probably not for you. But for those of you who enjoy a more mature, refined woman, then Megan will make your toes curl. :grin: Please treat her well boys, she is a keeper!!!

Kinda like having sex hard and heavy for a good long hour...mmmmmm..Katedot could you put me into that frenzy? To subject at hand....or shall I say .."Just wash your hands" and stay clear if you are feeling flu like symptoms. As for the young boy that died from this..my heart goes out to the family, but at the same time, my thought is..if your child had these symptoms would you not rush him/her off to the hospital? especially the breathing issue. I will wait until the line ups are done, or the government runs out of vaccine. It probably would be the later.

Well, here we go again. I'm probably older than many on this board, and I've been watching this flu vaccine thing roll out for years. It's almost always more likely that we'll have a shortage than a surplus. Minister Aglukkaq's comment last week that "Canadians who don't get vaccinated against swine flu are needlessly putting themselves and others at risk"? If that was true then, who's putting them at risk now? I am disappointed and disgusted with the government's handling of this matter -- as I am their handling of so many other matters lately. It seems that Minister Aglukkaq, in her zeal to encourage people to get immunized, saw nothing wrong with stigmatizing those of us who make the choice not to get vaccinated as lepers, a danger to all we encounter. It seems to have blown up in her face since, with the shortage, the majority of people are now in that category, although not by choice. What will people who feel that unvaccinated people are a threat do now that they know that so many people can't get vaccinated, and perhaps not they themselves? Will they shop more? Will they go out to eat? Will they take in a movie? Will they see an escort or get a massage? Um... yeah. Hyperbolic scaremongering works really well for our economic situation too, eh? The same thing happened with the handling of the economy. I don't think the government could have held off the recession and job losses, but I do think they could have lessened the impact if they'd shot straight with us right from the start. Prime Minister Harper was insisting that we weren't in a recession long after it was obvious to any intelligent person that we were. And almost immediately, his government and the Bank of Canada began telling us that we were in recovery. (I swear, if I see one more photo of Mark Carney's face plastered with a shit-eating grin, I'm going to hurl.) They massage the markets a little, and come up with their three consecutive quarters of growth, and pronounce the recession over. Their definition of 'recession' and Clinton's definition of 'sex with that woman' have a lot in common, it seems. For those of us whose reality depends on jobs and business activity, the recession is not over. It seems that our government thinks we're sheep that must be herded, through scare tactics and too-good-to-be-true promises, than that we are intelligent people, capable of making rational decisions, given solid information. It seems that they want to construct a vision for us. It's like that line from "Chicago": "Who are you gonna believe, baby? Me? Or your own eyes?" We need to start electing people who respect and trust us. (Disclaimer: I say "the government" and I'm no fan of the Harper administration, but at this time, I'm not sure anyone else could or would do better. My references to the government are aimed at those who seem to gravitate to such positions of power these days and their approach to dealing with the public. My comments are not in any way meant to be partisan.)

What would this section be used for? How do we make sure it is not abused? How do we verify each member for access? How do we make sure that the people who have access to it don't stop posting on the public area as well? (Public posts from credible members is what builds the site) I can't see a private mens area working to be honest. I think it would be used to just slander the ladies and even if it was respected and not abused the ladies would assume it was being used for slander and smack talk. I can't see a community site working with this type of area. The ladies need this area to help protect each other from bad people and it does help them out (every little bit helps). Sites exist like spoc.ca that post a lot of the bad people in public, this is a great service but it also puts a little more risk on the ladies as the guy who is posted could put 2 and 2 together and know who reported him... and that in the past has lead to violence and threats (and things spiraling out of control) - not everyone in this world is of sound mind! We think it's much safer for the ladies to have a more private area for this type of thing but we can't justify a members only area for guys. Maybe some feedback would change our minds on this but we would need to know from the men who would like this what they would expect from it and how they would use it. Cowboys Diary in Ottawa for example is a valuable service for everyone in the Ottawa area and we support him and his efforts. (http://cowboysdiary.info). Maybe someone out here in the east coast area would be willing to start a similar blog. If you are not slandering anyone, posting hate messages and you show integrity we would support you here like we do with CK and his blog in Ottawa. .. a bit of custom programming? Whew.. I would say a great deal of it and how do you un-complicate this? We did talk about doing something similar a while back. The idea was to put a new area on the ladies profiles that said "Click here if you have had a good date with this provider" and each time someone new clicked on it this would add a point to her popularity level... but the idea was shot down as when we looked further into it ... it was full of holes where it could be abused and be seen as unfair. Instead we went with the reputation system where everyone could add/remove reputation points and this would build the community as a whole (both ways)

It's not true that those who have died of H1N1 "were very weak, or very immunosuppressed." The lad who died earlier this week was a healthy 13-year-old hockey player. I'm still not getting a flu shot, but I did find an excellent article in the Globe & Mail that describes symptoms, window of contagion, and how to tell if things are getting serious: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health/h1n1-swine-flu/a-closer-look-at-how-the-virus-works/article1341054/
