Relationship Engines of Note - World News
This site is amazing, almost a threat matrix-style visual overview of the news hot-spots around the world. You can imaging the President gettinging this kind of visual, top level report (and then having someone read it to him. Slowly. ;)

Kitchen Chaos!
So, we're remodeling our kitchen, new cupboards, countertops, floor, ceiling, lighting, everything except the walls, the fridge and stove has to go. My kitchen looks like it belongs in Baghdad!
There's something primal about ripping out your ceiling!
Each chunk of ceiling dropped a shower of sawdust all over the place.
Cupboards are down, now for the counters!
And now, without the counters. If I were playing The Sims right now, I would SO BE LOSING! ;)

Orson Scott Card on Permissive Parenting
OSC is my favorite author, and what do you know, his parenting philosophy is the same as mine:
The other word for repression is self-control. And here's how it's learned. First, your terrible mean awful horrible parents keep you from doing what you want.
Then, as you get older, you begin to realize that your friends whose parents didn't stop them from doing those things are now having horribly messy lives. You're glad your parents kept you from doing it. Now you keep those same rules yourself. You have learned to control your desires because you now understand the consequences.
But during those many, many years when children are too ignorant, inexperienced, self-willed, stubborn, or angry to grasp the idea that really bad things can actually happen to them, parents have to have the strength to say no, to mean it, and to make it stick.
That's what happens when parents actually love their children.
