Shared Parenting via Dr Roy's Thoughts March 10th, 2010 at 14:55

I agree with this former grit MP. I like the idea of shared parenting. Too many divorced men are shut out of their children's lives. Both Child and parent suffer because of this. I believe our family law courts are stridently feminist and anti male. Let's bring back some balance.Ex-MP calls for shared parentingDIVORCE: Sarnia-Lambton's Roger Gallaway says judges should grant equal parenting except in proven cases of abuseBy IAN GILLESPIE, THE LONDON FREE PRESSLast Updated: March 10, 2010 8:35amWhen it comes to gaining access to their kids, a growing number of divorced fathers say they've been stymied by a police and court system that reflexively views women as believable and men as violent.It's an emotional topic that dismays many of those who work in the field of domestic violence.But a...

R.I.P. Cory Haim via Dr Roy's Thoughts March 10th, 2010 at 14:19

I have to admit I used to watch the show the Two Coreys. It was like watching a train wreck. I guess it really was a reality show. My sympathies to the friends and family of Corey Haim.Hollywood actor Corey Haim has allegedly died of an overdose according to the celebrity news website TMZ.com. The site quotes Los Angeles police saying they were called St. Joseph's hospital in Burbank, Calif., shortly before 7 a.m. ET.Born in 1971 in Toronto, Haim starred in '80s hits such as The Lost Boys....

Something Achingly Personal And Sexual In Nature via Dead Robot» Dead Robot March 10th, 2010 at 14:06

image I tend not to deliver in bed. I can hear SharkBoy’s spine compress and extend simultaneously as he reads that so I better explain myself. On many occasion during my formative youth I had a tendency to attract guys who thought I would be something I completely wasn’t. I would often find myself stupefied at suggestion that would fall from my various date’s lips as the night progressed into the boozy, flirty time. Suggestions of violence or odd behaviour that would kill my desire just to cuddle or have plain, vanilla sex, of which, I’m utterly satisfied to have 90% of the time. I’ve always dressed a bit rough. I’ve been told I have expressive eyes and combined with a shaved head and goatee since I was 21, I would often have to suggest to my date that...

Your Worst Enemy When Investing in Stocks via Million Dollar Journey March 10th, 2010 at 11:30

image It’s not your neighbor who once gave you awful advice on a hot stock tip (you’re no longer on speaking terms, unless you need to borrow a power tool). It’s not one of those “market pros” you read about on CNBC who seemed so sure about this one stock that he called it a no-brainer (you bought the stock and this no-brainer has gone no-where but down). It’s not the market which always seems to be sizzling until you jump on the bandwagon and then it just crashes (must be some kind of bad luck). It’s not your parents who tried to teach you to save money; instead, you spent all your money partying in your college days (now, you barely have any money to invest). Nope, don’t look any further. Your worst enemy when it comes to investing… is the person in the mirror. If you took a...

Where Are Canada’s Tech Bloggers? via Mark Evans Tech March 10th, 2010 at 12:02

image Canada has a vibrant high-tech economy so it seems strange that there are so few Canadian bloggers actively writing what’s going on. By active, I mean people writing blog posts a couple to a several times a week about Canadian and non-Canadian tech news. There’s StartupNorth, TechVibes, Telecom Trends, and myself. But where’s everyone else? I know they’re out there because once in awhile you run across a blog with great content. The problem is they’re difficult to find because Canada lacks a good blog directory. This makes it challenging to find any Canadian blogger, let alone high-tech bloggers. My interest in putting the spotlight on Canadian high-tech bloggers is two-fold. From a personal standpoint, I’m a high-tech enthusiast, and always looking...

Lord Black on US Politics via Dr Roy's Thoughts March 9th, 2010 at 20:34

Lord Black has a fascinating piece on American politics. As a fervent supporter of the Crown, I found this part particularly interesting. Though I still a strong supporter of the United States, I am not a fan of revolution and prefer Canada s United Empire Loyalist past.The American genius for showmanship and spectacle began with the Revolution and has never abated. After its splendid introduction, Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence descended swiftly into a blood libel on the American Indian, and an excoriation worthy of the Nuremberg prosecutors, of King George III, the awkward, unstable, but likeable “Farmer George.”Jefferson even included in his original arraignment of the British monarchy the shameful importation of slavery into America. It was suggested that given...
