Now, Scott and other advocates for safer conditions for sex workers are concerned the ruling may have been futile. Scott is one of the three sex workers who challenged the prostitution laws in Bedford v. Canada. The court struck down laws prohibiting brothels, living off the avails of prostitution, and communicating in public with clients because it said they force sex workers into dangerous situations.

(Adrian Wyld/Canadian Press) â??But the courtâ??s decision has become a hollow victory for Scott and her colleagues. Parliament has been given 12 months to rewrite the laws, and has expressed interest in legislation many sex workers say would do nothing to improve their working conditions and could even make them worse. MacKay told CBC in January the government intends to draft legislation that would help sex workers transition out of the industry, and instead punish pimps and johns. This is whatâ??s known as the Nordic model of prostitution, and in essence it makes it legal to sell sex but not to buy it. [URL="http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/peter-mackay-faces-balancing-act-with-justice-agenda-court-rulings-1.2511220"]http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/peter-mackay-faces-balancing-act-with-justice-agenda-court-rulings-1.2511220[/URL] The Nordic model is already enforced in three European countries: Sweden, Norway and Iceland. French MPs have approved a bill that will penalize those paying for sex, but the bill must still pass the Senate before it comes into play. Brenda Cossman, a law professor at University of Toronto, said it has created many of the same problems sex workers in Canada want to avoid. "Those on the streets are working in very, very risky conditions because they go further into remote areas,â? Cossman said, describing the situation in Europe. â??They have to do the negotiation very quickly. It doesnâ??t give them any time to assess risk.â? Canada's prostitution laws: What the court said [URL="http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-s-prostitution-laws-what-the-court-said-1.2471834"]http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-s-prostitution-laws-what-the-court-said-1.2471834[/URL] Read the Supreme Court's decision [URL="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/979787-ags-v-bedford-lebovitch-and-scott.html"]https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/979787-ags-v-bedford-lebovitch-and-scott.html[/URL] Norwayâ??s Ministry of Justice did a report on sex work in 2004 that indicates the preferred clients have moved to the internet, but the dangerous ones stayed on the streets. Currently in Canada, most sex workers screen their clients before they see them. They record their legal name and address. They know their phone number. But under the Nordic model, Scott said clients will be afraid to identify themselves to sex workers. â??Weâ??ll have to accept calls from blocked numbers. We wonâ??t know who weâ??re seeing,â? said Scott. She calls this a gift to sexual predators. [B]Pending legislation[/B] Last week, MacKay told a crowd in Halifax that Parliament will introduce the bill "well before" the December 2014 deadline, and just needs to communicate with police and provinces to finalize the process. [URL="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-prostitution-bill-expected-well-before-deadline-peter-mackay-says-1.2520073"]http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-prostitution-bill-expected-well-before-deadline-peter-mackay-says-1.2520073[/URL] Scott told CBC that to her knowledge, no sex workers have been involved in the decision-making process. [QUOTE]'They think itâ??s the only way they can retain some element of control over the sex industry.' - Emily Van der Muelen[/QUOTE] â??MacKay is only interested in consulting with those whom seek to prohibit sex work, under the guise of â??saving us.â?? It makes it crystal clear that this federal government is solely interested in its own political safety and could [not] care less about our lives,â? Scott said. Emily Van der Muelen agreed the Nordic laws would be hazardous to sex workers. â??It appeals to the government because its fits with their â??tough on crimeâ?? agenda,â? said the Ryerson University criminology professor. â??They think itâ??s the only way they can retain some element of control over the sex industry.â? The Department of Justice was asked to comment for this article, but said it would not answer questions until the legislation is tabled. â??We have nothing to add to the comments weâ??ve already made, and developments on this issue will be announced in due course,â? ministry press secretary Paloma Aguilar wrote in an email response to CBC News. [B]'Do not rewrite the laws'[/B] Scott said the ideal situation would be for the government to do nothing. "Do not rewrite the laws. They did not rewrite the same sex marriage law, they did not rewrite the abortion law. But they know that weâ??re not a great huge amount of people â?? and weâ??re politically not a great cause to get behind in terms of vote-getting.â? Sweden-Prostitution [IMG]http://i.cbc.ca/1.2523190.1391548441!/cpImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/original_300/sweden-prostitution.jpg[/IMG] A prostitute talks to someone in a car in central Stockholm. (Claudio Bresciani/Associated Press) Alternatively, she points to New Zealand, which has been called the most progressive country in the world for sex work. Scott and a number of other advocates for sex workers interviewed by CBC News said they would like to see a version of the system used in New Zealand and New South Wales implemented here in Canada. The Prostitution Reform Act was brought into effect in New Zealand 2003, and set up a framework to protect the human rights of sex workers. Under the Act, sex work is considered normal and legal work. The workers are protected by labour laws that promote their health and safety, and a tribunal hears disputes with brothel owners. The brothels pay licensing fees that are the same as other businesses such as coffee shops â?? about $650 a year. Oftentimes the brothels are run by sex workers or former sex workers themselves. According to the Ministry of Justice in New Zealand, the number of sex workers in the country has not increased since decriminalization. Advocates for safer conditions for those working in the sex trade would like to see a similar approach in Canada. â??The women who are doing the work should be the ones that are able to obtain a licence. We should be able to rent a place together and work together,â? Scott said. â??Thatâ??s what safety is, being in proximity with each other.â? [B]Local control[/B] Municipalities also have the power to make laws surrounding sex work in New Zealand, covering things such as health-and-safety and zoning restrictions, which Cossman said is a superior form of regulation. Sheâ??s concerned that due to the way the Supreme Court of Canada set up its ruling, there will be no provision for control of sex work by municipalities through localized bylaws and labour laws. Instead, the Supreme Court made it Parliamentâ??s responsibility to revamp federal laws, setting the stage for more criminal legislation surrounding prostitution. â??The Supreme Court didnâ??t say anything about really needing to decriminalize prostitution,â? said Cossman, and instead has given the government leeway to recriminalize it with new laws. She worries that if the Nordic model of regulating prostitution is enacted, constitutional challenges surrounding sex work will start all over again. Advocates for sex workers would need to spend years gathering evidence again to show the new laws are harmful to sex workers. â??That to me is a horrifyingly tragic period of time where weâ??re basically saying sex workers are the guinea pigs and letâ??s see if it makes it any safer for them,â? said Cossman. â??It means that we will have to spend the next 10 years massing evidence of robberies, beatings, rapes and murders,â? Scott added. â??How many bodies have to pile up?â?

The perks of being a bachelor. When I am home alone I am usually only wearing briefs or boxers and a t-shirt. I only get dressed if I have to go out or if someone is coming over. Saves on laundry. The coffee table is my dinner table - right in-front of the TV. (The dinette set is reserved for guests). I eat chicken and pork chops with my fingers. I eat peanut butter by the spoon full. If I am eating potato chips - I can't eat just a few. It has to be the whole big bag. I drink milk straight from the container. I leave the bathroom door open when I am on the throne or showering. (My cat insists upon it). I do the housework in my underwear. I'll stop there. The last two may give some of you nightmares....

My mother passed away recently. There had always been tension between my mother and her family. My Aunts did not want to attend the funeral or reception but they did. Other people at the funeral told them wonderful stories about my mother. This helped them with their closure and gave them a sense of peace and forgiveness. Forgiving someone who has done you wrong can be a bitter pill to swallow. Your first reaction is probably to hold on to your anger and to blame the person who caused you pain. This is natural. However, what you must understand is that holding on to hurt and anger causes you more pain than the person your anger is directed towards. For this reason, it is necessary to forgive - not for the other person, but for yourself. In order to forgive, it is necessary to let go of all the negative emotions you harbor towards the other person. Anger, hurt, betrayal, bitterness, regret - you need to find an outlet for all of these bad feelings, otherwise they will fester and cause you further pain. Remember, you are not doing this to ease the other person's conscience or to condone their actions, you are doing it to allow yourself to heal and move forward.

Absolutely it matters. It tells me that she takes pride in her appearance and cares about herself. It also shows me that she has a genuine interest in what she is doing. Most importantly -- I hope anyway, that it is a reflection of her desire to be with me. YMMV goes both ways in my opinion. If she is well groomed and smells pretty. I am more likely to take my time and go the extra mile to pleasure her.

TORONTO -- A Montreal man is facing charges after a police probe into allegations of juvenile prostitution in Toronto's downtown core. Toronto police say they began their investigation in late January after getting a tip that a 17-year-old girl was procured to become a prostitute earlier in the month. Stefan Jordan, 29, is charged with procuring a person to become a prostitute, exercising control and living on the avails of prostitution of a person under 18 years old. A warrant has also been issued for the arrest of Jessica Naoufal, 22, of Montreal. Police say they believe there may be more victims and they are urging anyone with information to contact investigators.

beloved "Star Trek" actor explains that he's been diagnosed with a rather serious lung disease: "I quit smoking 30 years ago. Not soon enough. I have COPD. Grandpa says, quit now!! LLAP [Live Long and Prosper]." COPD, short for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is one of the most common lung diseases. Said to be caused by smoking, COPD makes it increasingly difficult to breathe. It usually manifests as emphysema or bronchitis. Nimoy took the opportunity to beg his followers to take his lead and put down the cigarettes. "Smokers, please understand," he implores. "If you quit after you're diagnosed with lung damage it's too late. Grandpa says learn my lesson. Quit now." He adds, "I'm doing OK. Just can't walk distances. Love my life, family, friends and followers. LLAP." Take care of yourself, Spock!
