From what I know, this sort of phone is fairly common in Asia and less so in Europe. But the last time I heard of any dual sim phone in Canada was 5 years ago, and it wasn't entirely dual sim (just confirming that right now) I believe this is what you're looking for - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-206-Free-Mobile-Phone/dp/B00BFPUYRI But I'm not sure how you can get that one shipped here. Also, here is Newegg that will ship to Canada, but I'm not familiar with these brands http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Description=dual+sim&x=-846&y=-112 An alternative is having a smart phone and using an app to make/receive calls. Dell Voice allows you to have a separate number that you can make/receive calls. It runs of the data services and is completely free (when I used it last year), you can get a 613 area code Skype - You can get the Skype app, and pay a monthly fee for a Skype number (613 as well, but check if it's an Ottawa number). Big name, and supposedly reliable.

Kink.com is a pretty large company that found it's niche and has grown tremendously. It's proof that people are willing to pay for it, as long as they appreciate the content. There are some companies that are popping up that are actually trying to produce stuff that isn't just a typical "wham bam thank you ma'am" sort. Take a look at this article by the Globe and Mail. I heard on the radio once that the backbone philosophy behind the iTunes store is that people do want to own the songs they listen to. But it has to be done with the consumer in mind. While I may or may not have been a minor at the time, I noticed porn websites be one of the first in terms of accessibility, but the content was the same old stuff. Some in the porn industry understood that it's just not about looking pretty and lying on your back to make money, they've actually engaged viewers through different ways (blogs, twitter, reddit). Basically, I think the smart ones will adapt (or are actually leading the way), while ones stuck in the 80s will die out from the industry.

- An extra large coffee from Tim Hortons, because I can't ever justify buying that size. Seems like such a waste. But I'd like to know the feeling. - Set up a university fund for family members yet to go to university. Pay of the student loans of family members who already finished university. - And finally the rest to different charities. Not being noble, my dad has religious objections to lotteries (or any sort of gambling), and if by some bizarre sequence of events I end up buying a ticket and actually winning, I couldn't in good conscious keep the money.

SP Travelling to the US?
piano8950 replied to Old Dog's topic in Legal discussion, cases & questions
I read a story just last week about a woman crossing over the border to US with a few fancy lingerie, and a few condoms in her luggage. She was going with a male companion. It was supposed to be a romantic getaway, and it isn't a stretch to imagine sexy times would be had. But border control said the 24 year old McGill student was a prostitute and issued a 10 year ban on her. Americans. -
CEO I wonder if tomorrow, this is going to be on the newspapers as some sort of scandal. CEO of Tims found on escort website! But seriously, I worked there for a semester at the head office. After the first week, I figured out why they needed engineers. I did enjoy all the coffee I wanted for 4 months. I don't remember sleeping much that summer.

I wanna see if I can answer these, rhetorically if I can't Canadian Law. Remember in US a few years ago people were being sued for thousands, sometimes even hundreds of thousands of dollars for sharing songs and/or movies. How did the studios know it was them? Sure they could get their IP address, but how did they associate that IP address with that user. American law allows these studios to obtain the information through the internet service provider of that particular person. In Canada, we don't. If an ISP notices piracy of this kind, the maximum it can do is cut of your internet access. But it is illegal for them to share the information to the studio. This is one of the main differences that makes studios less keen on showing their content in Canada online, and Netflix must work harder to do so. It's how the two companies have evolved. Right from the get go, Burger King has focused on the grilled burger angle, while McDonalds is the champion in efficiency in the fast food industry. Simply put, McDonalds figured a way to make fries quickly, which happened to have the resulting taste you so like. Burger King in US is changing their fries, eventually that'll come here. So maybe you'll like the Burger King fries more in the future. It's the internet. Talk about anything that is the polar opposites of one another, people will get touchy feely. It's not the particular topic. On another forum I'm on, people have gotten so obsessed over having a camera grip or not. I mean serious...camera grip. Because of the way it's brewed. At Tim Hortons, everything relating to coffee is down to an exact science. Those brewing machines are not some industrially sourced machines. They have been designed specifically for Tim Hortons' coffee. Flow rate, temperature, etc. We were also pretty thorough with the maintenance. Also, instant versus drip makes a difference. And if you're me, being served versus making it myself adds to 10% of the taste :P Maybe because it's cooked fresh there, but have preservatives for the home option. I think she realized it worked the first time, and then she figured OMG MONIES! Must repeat Because dog owners who don't rid the street of their dog's poop are the scum of the planet. I wish them to listen to Taylor Swift songs for all eternity with no pauses.

Wellington Street in Ottawa is more awesome than most people give it credit for. And here's why. If you've ever been to Parliament Hill, you may have noticed a beautiful building across the street along side Elgin. It's currently the Prime Minister's office, and over the last century has been used for various government offices. Langevin Block Now I'm more interested in the architecture of it. It was designed in a style that was prominent at the time called Second Empire. Originally from France, buildings were designed in that manner because it was fashionable. That's right, buildings were a fashion statement. Ottawa, specifically downtown Ottawa is a great time line of architectural styles that have been prominent over our nation's short history. Parliament Hill was constructed in a Gothic Revival style, partly to show the world our difference from the United States. Compared to Capitol Hill And while there isn't an example of American Neoclassic design on Wellington Street, there is another great building which has a style very prominent in US. And when I found out what it's original purpose was, it made perfect sense. Located at 100 Wellington Street, it's proposed use was a National Portrait Gallery before the Conservatives came in and scrapped the idea. But it's original use - The American Embassy; the only embassy ever on Wellington Street. Now the last stop is the Bank of Canada. Between Elgin Street and Bay Street, it is the only glass tower to grace Wellington. And again, it is an excellent representation of Canada's history. Almost like layers of soil overlapping the previous one as centuries pass by. The original building was designed in the Neoclassical style so commonly used by banks in that time. In the 70s, much needed additions were constructed, but in a very different approach. And here is the result. Not my favourite, but apparently made it to the top 500 list of Canadian buildings of the 20th century. So if you didn't read all of that, I'll try to sum it up as best I can. Ottawa is new, but has some awesome buildings if you're into that sorta stuff.

The dark side of prostitution
piano8950 replied to a topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
Not here, but in Dubai. Last time I went there, a friend of mine to me took this supposedly exclusive night club. The cars outside were pretty much luxury sedans or exotics (BMWs, Mercs, Jags, and then the Lambos, Ferraris, etc). Amazing place, super decked out, and it also had a lounge where people could take a break and smoke some sheesha. Table across from ours there were these three guys, and a bunch of girls. Stunningly beautiful girls, but something felt off. Throughout the evening, something bugged me about that picture, but I didn't say anything. The thought of prostitution didn't even occur to me as this was Dubai, and when I grew up in the city, it was before the excesses that has made the city so famous. The girls were relatively quiet, only laughing half-heartedly when then guys were. Then one of the girls said or did something that apparently upset one of the guys and he roughly grabbed her face with one hand, yelled something in Arabic, and then shoved her face away. And no one around said or did anything. Some people noticed but didn't seem disgusted or had any sort of reaction to what the guy did. Just continued what they were doing. And it finally clicked as to who the girls were, or more specifically what they were probably there for. My friend said that over the last few years, it was increasingly common to see these girls in hotels and nightclubs, and rarely seen anywhere else. The police kept a blind eye to it as long as it never happened in the more culturally sensitive areas, and out of sight from family friendly areas. But it is highly illegal, punishable with years in prison for the girls, at most a slap on the wrists for the locals. Most of the girls I was told come from Eastern Europe. They make enough money that they usually accept the rough treatment, and it's too dangerous to speak up. Their only option is to leave. -
Inspired by the question on this thread: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=126713 I decided to do a little digging. Here is how you get American Netflix. And Hulu. And BBC's iPlayer. The three I've tested out, but I'm sure Pandora works too. 1) Download and install Firefox 2) Go to this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/media-hint/ And install I apologize in advance for lost productivity. As far as the legality of this goes, there is nothing in the books, so you're clear. And CBC and other Canadian based websites may not work, so download Google Chrome for Canadian stuff (And Canadian Netflix)

I digress. I think everything is fair game. To say that some topics are irrelevant discussion just seems bizarre to me. I don't know what you picked up from this thread, but I did learn something new from it. Here's what I do with a thread with a topic I have no care in the world for - ignore it. I can't think of any industry out there that isn't influenced by what their competitors are doing. To say that what another SP does is none of another SP's business is in my opinion massively presumptuous. Nevertheless, I haven't read many SPs on this thread actively denigrating others for offering the service. Finally, statistics aside, lets look at one fact. 16 respondents replied with the feeling of being pressured. I can't for the life of me begin to understand that sort of pressure in this case, but I can do my part in alleviating that concern. Call the stats completely bogus, but you can't deny that for whatever reasons, even for those that you think are dumb or non-existent, they are some you do have the feeling of being pressured. At this point it just becomes your decision with what you decide to do with whatever you've read here. I've already said what I'd do from now on, and if you read my previous comment again, you'll see I don't try to impose this on anyone else. Why this thread is important to me- I saw something that raised an alarm in my head, and decided to do something different. I am glad for this sort of discussion.

Seeing how this thread has gotten quite out of topic from this question, and that I have no real input on the economics of the business, I'll address Peachy's question. Firstly, at the time I wrote this response, 16 SPs responded that they were feeling pressured to provide bbbj. That's over half, and that's really disturbing. Truthfully, between cbj and bbbj, I much prefer bbbj. To clarify, I would never ever in my life complain about getting a cbj from a girl if that was it. Just that in the bedroom there are many things that I'd prefer to do if bbbj was of the table. The only thing I'm going to take away from this thread is that the next time I see an SP who offers bbbj, I'll try to explain the best way I can that the decision is completely hers. I can't change the industry, but I don't want to be the reason for that pressure.

I'm a big fan of mapporn on Reddit. It less devious then it sounds. Just a bunch of different maps showing some statistical point. I found one on top search terms for each US state, and which also led me to this website http://www.pornmd.com/sex-search I'm a big culture nerd. I love to see how different cultures and nationalities differ and how they all come together. And I think apart from love, eating, and sleeping, sexual desires are another of human's basic instincts. However, for a variety of reasons, it's often tucked away. So imagine my excitement when I saw a website dedicated to the top 10 porn related searches for many countries! (Some were omitted for lack of data). Stuff I found particularly interesting: - Surroundings play a massive role in sexual interests. In Southern US states, black porn was especially popular. In states with a high Asian population, Asian porn was highly sought after. This holds true in other countries. From France, I discovered the word Beurette. Supposedly means North African woman, usually used in slang used for really attractive North African women. China's top searches mainly consisted of racial interests. Ex. Japanese, Chinese, etc. Searches in Southern and central Africa centered among black women, while Middle Eastern searches focused on women from the same race. - Gay porn searches neared the top or were more commonly found in countries that seemed more repressed. Iran, Pakistan, Palestine. - There were some very unusual stuff, like South Korea dedicating two of the top 10 searches for poop, Syria's scat fetish made it to number 9. Also rape came up in the subcontinent, which was...interesting. Incest related porn (sister) came up for Palestine. - Porn seems to transcend political divides. To be blunt about it, boobs are boobs. And it seems that some places like the erotic content of their political enemies. Ex. Israel's top searches included two Arab related contents. - And this being Canada, here are Canada's top porn searches 1) Asian 2) Teen 3) Milf 4) Compilation 5) Massage 6) pov 7) Hentai 8 ) Anal 9) Indian 10) College - United States' top searches were 1) milf 2) teen (Matches Canada) 3) college 4) creampie 5) massage (Matches Canada) 6) Asian 7) pov 8 ) Amateur 9) Compilation 10) Anal

Alright, I haven't said anything here before because there was nothing I could add except my vote. Since the topic of "deceptive" pictures, and talk of makeup and lighting has come up, I thought I can share some light on the matter. Just a heads up, I don't have a stake in whatever the outcome is, but I did find some of what was said above to be a bit concerning. Regarding getting pictures taken by a photographer, there are extents that he/she goes whenever taking boudoir sort of pictures. With some clients, most who are normal people, I take liberties with accentuating their qualities and masking parts that they aren't too comfortable with. So if my client has great breasts, but on the larger side of things, I usually ask her to lie on her back. If a guy has a double chin like yours truly, I always shot from his eye level or higher in a fashion that he looks down on me, provides for a subconscious appearance of domination. Little tricks like that make more difference then you'd imagine. And then there is lighting. Photographers rarely point their flash straight forward because in real life, your eye balls are not light sources. We like using light sources from the side and top (some like lower, I hate it). Sometimes you notice the golden glow as if you can feel the sun rising through the window. All of that is done to literally put someone in the best possible light. Now for clients, I start doing other things. By enhancing the size of the eyes for a 45 year old woman, it often has the effect of erasing 5 years. By clearing the bags underneath her eyes, beyond the makeup that is, there is a drastic difference in appearance. Wrinkle lines, double chins, etc. Just to give you an idea: Here is a breast enhancement Here is an example of skin softening and massive airbrushing And just to show it's not limited to females, here is the British Prime Minister David Cameron My point with all of this is that from Nichole's pictures, I don't see evidence of any drastic alterations. I could be wrong, the photographer might be very good. But judging on the lighting, the poses, I don't see anything that differentiates this set of images from many others I've seen here. I'm not sure what happened before any of this mess started. But it seems rather simple to figure out. Anyway, fwiw, that's how some pictures are taken in a nutshell. I do hope this gets resolved one way or the other. I don't take lightly to warrant-less accusations or being duped. And it seems one is happening right now.

I use Square myself and love it. I was going to recommend Square earlier, but after reading the T&C, realized it was a no go unless someone wanted to be creative with their job description. Kinda sucks, I like paying with my CC. I've used my points to travel a fair bit. Additional Comments: Money transfers aren't 100% effective. I sent a friend a money transfer before heading off for vacation. I even got the email indicating that the transfer was active, my account showed me that the funds were locked for 30 days, but every time she tried to accept the funds it gave her an error message. Poor girl had to wait till I came back. I'd only use EMTs if there were a few days between paying and the appointment.

Happy Birthday Berlin

Happy Birthday! -
Some people drink vodka with pieces of snakes in the bottle. Urine play (specifically drinking) is something I could not do myself A good number of members here eat pork. Apart from once, I have never eaten it A rather sexually adventurous couple I know swear by sperm as a proper ingredient for home cooked meals. I haven't eaten there since Basically, there are a lot of reasons why people consume stuff. Fetish, taste, health, religion, etc. If it's safe, I couldn't care less what someone does even if I don't, and pass no judgement.

To the OP - I can say for a certainty that Katrine Cannon gives absolutely amazing massages. If I remember correctly, she went to school for it, or had some training. "Insurance Receipt for massage are available" Her massage rate is about the same for the one I usually go to when I'm in Toronto (RMT).

Tell Me Your Secrets. ;-)
piano8950 replied to FootFetishTess's topic in Ottawa Discussion - BDSM, Fetish etc.
That's the best way someone's given me an example of anything ever. I'm familiar with that, I just thought the phrasing had to do with something completely different. Anyhow, to respond to Tess's question, I don't know how much of what I'm interested in can be considered out of the box but here goes. This just sounds absolutely fantastic. But it would be both ways for me. From my understanding of bdsm terminology, I'm a switch. I have times where I need to be in control, and it gives me a strange but amazing sense of pleasure to see someone completely give up control. Obviously within the constraints of everything being consensual, I don't have rape fantasies. Something I read on here last month which intrigued me was about a slow tease. I heard about this before, but never found it appealing. Still, since the topic was brought up, I started thinking about it more, and now I want to try it. Being at someone's complete mercy, letting them decide how long they want to tease me, and let me orgasm (if at all). Of course, being on the other side also appeals to me. There are a lot of fetishes (or what I think are fetishes) that I like that I've never tried. One that I did, was with wax (and it was awesome). It wasn't painful, at least not in the general sense of the word. So I'd like to explore that area more (play pain stuff). -
Is it the Law or the Morals which governs us?
piano8950 replied to a topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
I drive the way I do because of the law (not texting/talking while driving, no speeding, follow road rules, etc). I've seen what happens in the absence of road rules, and no one would prefer that. Other then that, I think I've gone by my own morals that don't seem to clash with the law. It might be different if I were in a different country though.
