"Undying Love"
Long forgotten letters hidden in a box
Pictures of undying Love in rusted tin and locks
Stashed away from prying eyes up through the attic stairs
Beneath the cobwebs, in the corner, aside a rocking chair
I pick the lock to take a peek at memories on a note
The photograph of you and he fishing on his boat
You looked so sweet in slender youth with ringlets on your head
The way you smiled and turned to him makes me wonder what he said.
The letter here reveals to me the way it must have been
An ever present yearning of the Love you had back then
These little souvenirs of time just prove one thing to me
That Grandpa really loved you nan it's clearly plain to see
And in your eyes, I see that light shining from your heart
I ponder at what you must feel at being kept apart.

To be talking about the changing of leaves and the smell of pumpkin in the air? I hope not. This is my favorite, and happiest time of year.
There is something about the drop in temperature that lights a fire in me; […]

Courses, Diggers, Golf, Metal detector, Musket, Sports, Tall ship, United States
Yesterday I wrote about finding some hidden gems in the ground some years ago while digging a flower garden around the house.
I mentioned how finding those items took me back to a time possibly hundreds of year ago when our country was still in its infantile stages; dirt roads, tall ships and musket balls.
Afterwards, I happened to walk into the living room and caught the program Diggers. With the post I'd written still fresh on my mind, I couldn't help but throw my hands up and yell "FIRE IN THE HOLE!!" just like they do in the program. Of course I laughed afterward, well because I crack myself up, but a family member looked at me like I was off my ding-a-ling.
All I could visualize at that point was KG yelling "Tim, over here, I got nectar in the hole!"
The impulse to call my brother for the use of his metal detector to scan the area was so great at that point, until I remembered that the property in question was more than 700 miles away and that I no longer owned it.
Oh well…I'll leave the digging to the diggers. Why muss a good manicure.

My phone rang earlier. It was a confirmation call for an upcoming appointment; and in my haste to right down the necessary information, I grabbed, of all things, the discarded wrapper from my tea bag.
Beside me on either end, above me, and I'm pretty sure on the floor by my chair were no less that 9 appropriate forms of recording this information; my phone's memo app being one of them.
So why did I grab for the nearest piece of scrap paper instead of the nicely bound, pretty, decorated memo pads, and electronic devices? Continue reading

~Pawley's Island, SC
Perfect weather here for the holiday. I can tell because the air's been running all morning, not because I'm actually out enjoying it.
I'd like to be, but sadly, my father is incapable of getting around on his own and the effort to get him there would be too strenuous on both of us. I'm happy that I did actually get him to the beach before he lost both the ability to get around and the ability to enjoy it.
He wasn't really interested in any kind of photo op though. LOL
As a matter of fact, I had a hard time taking any pictures because he insisted walking on without me and so did our dog cha-cha.
At one point I had to try and take pictures while holding onto the leash.
My father had decided that he couldn't remember what was attached to the other end of the thick red rope he had in his hand. 🙂
Cha-cha wasn't impressed either.
It was a beautiful January day; not too cold, not too windy, and the sunset was a stunning one. Too bad I only had my camera phone that day.

This is the first sight I saw after stepping onto the new boardwalk for the first time.
It was completed just months earlier and it is spectacular. There's talk of adding even more to the 1 mile stretch that exists now. I hope it happens.
The last picture is of their new sky wheel. I haven't braved it yet. It's really large and all glass. I will soon though. Would make a nice date night.
Everyone, enjoy yourselves. Be safe! And let's see those holiday pictures!!

To everyone who has followed me here on word press:
If I haven't thanked you, and more then likely I have not. I'm sorry and Thank You! Thank you also for the little stars that light up my toolbar when I get a like. I didn't think the little accolades would matter, but they feel good.
I get overwhelmed (honestly speaking) in the head space sometimes and I put off getting to things that should be done sooner as opposed to later.
There is a lot going on in my life and I forget to acknowledge the people who come to matter to me.
Also, sometimes in my writing I have the impulsive habit, as I do when I speak, of not necessarily thinking first and quite often or inevitably, I end up sticking my foot in my mouth. Again, I assure you, if I've ever done it, it's never intentional.
I actually encourage you to speak up when this happens so that overall, I become the better person I always strive to be.

A full C-60 of "Not Yet Wave Music" from Davey Williams and unhinged cohorts from Birmingham Alabama.....wasn't that where Sun Ra came from? As opposed to Birmingham UK (Heavy Metals birthplace if you didn't know) which produced an opposite music (HM)to this barely structured improv, with hints of No wave.
This is one of the better recordings,featuring Davey Williams from this epoch, mainly thanks to Mary Horn's stream of consciousness vocalisation.

The vegan cheese thing is a thing. It's a big thing. And there are many amazing artisan vegan cooks out there striving to make vegan cheese like cheese. And I have huge respect for all of them!
I even came across a recipe for blue vegan cheese the other day …. it looked fabulous!
I missed cheese for a long, long time when I became vegan. I didn't feel so bad when I read some of those articles about how cheese is highly addictive. I just thought, OK, I have an addiction I need to kick. It's taking a while I have to say 🙂 And it's still not done ! 😉
In the meantime, I've attempted various recipes I've come across, but sadly without much success, although I was inspired by many of the ideas.
I did once make a delicious Vegan Brie ….but can I find the recipe again? Absolutely not 💚
If I could afford it, I'm sure I would be regularly buying artisan vegan cheeses from some of those amazing on-line suppliers. Because so far, most store-bought vegan cheeses are mainly, truly, deeply mediocre.
Slowly, over time, I've forgotten about cheese. However, if there's one thing that revives my desire to try again, it's home-grown tomatoes. There's nothing quite so delicious as homegrown tomatoes. And because I've got some, with more ripening as I write .. I suddenly want cheese….I want pizza…. I want feta salad… and all that kind of stuff… 💕💕
So in honour of my home-grown tomatoes, I've started by concocting this fairly simple recipe for a tofu and cashew cream cheese, which is light, creamy…and seems to hit the spot. One of them anyway 🙂 It's definitely inspired by Miyoko Schinner, but I've left out the thickeners, changed some of the ingredients, and gently baked it instead.
It works for me! 💚 That's all I can say!
I've made three individual cheeses, and coated them with three different coatings: black pepper, paprika and herb. The coatings make a wonderful difference, and if you can bear to leave the cheeses in the fridge for a day or two before sampling, the flavours really start to seep into the cheese. And they're good !
Hope you enjoy!
makes 3 individual ramekins approx. 8 cm. diameter
- 100gms. cashews
- 100 ml. water
- 200gms. firm plain tofu
- 3 tsps. sweet white rice miso
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- a small piece of garlic clove ( about half a small clove)
- 3 tbs. nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp. salt
- A dash of olive oil (to grease the ramekins)
- Soak cashews for 2 -4 hours in 100ml. water.
- Blend cashews with soaking water in a high speed blender until silky smooth.
- Place blended cashews in a saucepan, and bring to a gentle boil. Keep stirring to avoid burning. Reduce heat if necessary. Cook for 2 -3 mins. until the mix has thickened considerably.
- Return cashew mix to the blender with all the remaining ingredients, and blend until smooth.
- Lightly grease 3 ceramic oven-proof ramekins (about 8cm. in diameter), and pour the cashew mix into the ramekins, so that it is equally distributed.
- Bake the cheeses in a pre-heated oven Gas Mk. 3 / 160C (or slightly lower if you have a fan-assisted oven), for approx. 20-25 mins.
- Remove the cheeses from the oven and allow to cool completely. The surface of the cheeses will have a few little cracks … nothing to worry about ….
- Refrigerate for around 4 hours.
- Remove from the fridge, and slide a knife gently around the edge of the cheese.
- Turn the cheeses upside-down on to plates.
Black pepper and Coriander:
Grind together approx. 2 tsps. black peppercorns, 2 tsps. coriander seeds and a pinch of salt, until fine.
Paprika with a pinch of chilli:
Blend 2 tsps. paprika with a good pinch of chilli and a pinch of salt.
2 tbs. dried mixed herbs, such as basil, parsley, chive, fennel. Grind the herbs until medium fine.
- Coat each cheese individually, by rolling the cheeses in individual coatings.
- Return coated cheeses to the fridge until ready to serve.
Enjoy 🍃
… with crackers… tomatoes… olives ….salad … as you fancy….
….watch them disappear….
Going ….going….gone … ☘
…technically, these cheeses will store in the fridge for a week or so … ha….
La Pace
Bon Appetit!

I live in Cartersville and and drive the full Cohutta loop several times a year. I start in Chatsworth and make the complete loop, which takes you on USFS roads up into Tennessee near the Ocoee River before you head south again. We typically camp about the halfway point. Approx. 93 miles all the way around and back out from CCC Camp Road. The good news is there are several opportunities to get back out sooner if you don't wan't to drive the whole thing. Best times are early March or November, preferably weekdays when there aren't as many other folks kicking up dust and competing for campsites!

5Pillars editor Roshan Muhammed Salih delivers a speech on Islamic unity, Palestine and the need for strong leadership in the Muslim community at a time when our religious and political values are under attack.
As you're here…
5Pillars have one humble request from you…
Thousands of Muslims around the world visit our website for news every day. Due to the unfortunate reality of covering Muslim-related news in a heightened Islamophobic environment, our advertising and fundraising revenues have decreased significantly.
5Pillars is editorially and financially independent, with no sectarian or political allegiance to any particular group or movement. Our journalism has been exclusively grassroots focussed and our sole purpose is to defend Islam and Muslims in the media.
This makes us unique in comparison to other online Muslim media outlets who are neither independently regulated by a reputable body nor are they managed by qualified journalists.
Our journalism takes time, money and effort to deliver. But we do it because we believe we have a duty to Allah (swt).
You may not agree or like everything we publish. However, which other Muslim news site that is run by experienced journalists will take on the responsibility of being a shield for Islam and Muslims in the media?
If you follow 5Pillars, and you understand its importance in today's climate, then please support us for as little as £5 a month, it only takes a minute to make a donation. Jazakallah khayran.
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:"The best deeds are those done regularly, even if they are small." [Ibn Mājah]

High Ping and Fluctuations in offset
Restarted my game last night, went to go onto multiplayer got in the server but my ping was over 5000 and my offset went from -10000 to 5000 in a matter of milliseconds. I don't have any internet issues on any other program on my computer. Any suggestions?
Quit racing to pursue the FBI
Re: High Ping and Fluctuations in offset
Offset is that your PC is doing something. Probably anti virus program or you're maxing out your cpu or similar.

Advanced technologies will revolutionise the way we sleep
April 21st, 2017
In a bid to gain an insight into the trends shaping the world of sleep, leading bed manufacturer, Sealy UK, in conjunction with renowned futurologist and author, Dr Ian Pearson, have undertaken an in-depth study into the Future of Sleep, revealing some astonishing developments.
Commissioned to help Sealy better understand the changing landscape when it comes to sleep, the report is set against a context of rapidly evolving technology and an increased emphasis on personal 'wellness.'
The study reveals some fascinating findings which will pave the way Sealy to develop high value-added products in the future that will further improve the sleep quality and comfort for consumers.
In compiling the report, Dr Pearson studied a combination of factors including emerging technological, social and economic trends, overlaid with anticipated commercial demand for such innovations. This approach allowed him to arrive at a number of predictions that we are likely to see in the industry within the next 20-years.
Key bed innovations identified in the report
1) Levitating mattress – using graphene, a relatively new material with amazing properties, this material is a near perfect conductor, making it ideal for circuitry. That means near-sci-fi mattress technology would be feasible, such as magnetic levitation. Electronic magnetic 'muscles' could be incorporated into fabrics or filling that would allow a high degree of support variability and control. They could even be used to convert body movement into electricity to power other devices and sensors.
2) Smart beds that wake you up when you've finished a dream – thin polymer membranes incorporating electronics circuits can be incorporated into fabrics, meaning that smart pillowcases or sheets could monitor body temperature and skin moisture levels to indicate stress or relaxation. Electrical nerve activity, indicative of sleep phases or dream states, will also allow alarms to wake someone at the optimal part of a sleep cycle instead of disturbing dreams and waking someone feeling groggy. Similar reciprocation of that same technology would also allow thought recognition, which has already proven sophisticated enough to recognise what a dreamer is dreaming about.
3) 'Clean sleeping' beds that remove odours – electroactive polymers will be used to make fabrics with variable permeability. Circular or elliptical micro-holes would change a fabric's porosity if stretched in one direction. This science could be used to diffuse scents or other chemicals. Similarly, micron-sized spikes vibrating up and down could rupture bacteria to offer electrical sterilisation function.
4) Muscle-like contracting fabrics – Electroactive polymers are developing quickly and can emulate muscles contracting when a voltage is applied. These will be woven into smart fabrics that can alter shape or tension. These would allow a mattress to vary in firmness to each customer's preference. These can even be app-adjusted or automatically reactive to enable active personalised support.
5) Bio-sign monitoring. Thin polymer membranes incorporating electronics circuits are small enough to be introduced into mattress fabrics, and, being in contact with the skin surface during sleep, would mean that smart pillowcases or sheets could monitor body temperature, skin moisture levels, indicating stress or relaxation, electrical nerve activity, indicative of sleep phases or dream states, allowing alarms to wake someone at the optimal part of a sleep cycle instead of disturbing dreams and waking someone feeling groggy.
Neil Robinson, sales and marketing director at Sealy UK said: "The advances in technology, particularly in the sleep sector are mind-blowing and we're incredibly excited about the innovations and developments soon to be at our fingertips. As leaders in sleep technology and innovation, Sealy is committed to designing products that deliver on comfort, support and most importantly, provide a great night's sleep. We've been amazed by the findings Dr Ian Pearson has uncovered and we look forward to incorporating certain elements into our progressive research and development department."

Tories have been accused of being insensitive to former miners and their families after booking their annual dinner at a former pit two days after a big strike anniversary.
The Dewsbury County Conservative Association will hold its annual dinner at the former Caphouse Colliery, now the National Coal Mining Museum , near Grange Moor .
The event, planned for March 10, is just two days after the anniversary of the return to work for the miners after a 12-month strike in 1984-85.
Local Tories were slammed by the left-wing website Nye Bevan News which reported that the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign would be urging the Tories to reconsider the booking.
Under the headline: "Dancing on the grave of the working class" the website said: "The choice of venue is extremely insensitive and, some would say, provocative."
It said the Tory party of today would be "sitting and dining in a museum to an industry that the Tory party of the past systematically destroyed."
The booking of the mining museum was confirmed on Facebook by association chairman Mark Eastwood who wrote: "We're pleased to announce that we have booked the National Coal Mining Museum as the venue for the Association Annual Dinner on March 10th, with MP for Tatton and Deputy Chief Whip, Esther McVey, confirmed as guest speaker.
"The event will start with a drinks reception in the museum itself, followed by a three course set dinner in the Caphouse Suite.
"Full details of this event will be mailed to all members and supporters shortly. We hope you will join us for what should be a fantastic evening at a venue with a difference."
It is not the first time the Dewsbury association has landed itself in controversy with its events.
In 2015 the association ran a pig race at a Mirfield pub just after revelations in a book about then Prime Minister David Cameron and an alleged university initiation ceremony involving a dead pig's head.
Mr Eastwood told the Examiner the mining museum had been chosen because it was the best available local venue for the dinner.
He added: "We felt it would be positive for us to support a local museum. It's a fantastic venue."
Mr Eastwood also pointed out that Tory party chairman Sir Patrick McLoughlin was also a former miner.

Create Aberdeen has won a public vote to secure £43,052 of National Lottery funding as part of this year's The People's Projects. The money was awarded after the Active Lives, Creative Minds campaign won the public over with their plans to run therapeutic activities for adults with Learning Disabilities.
Winning this competition will allow Create to set up a Makaton choir for adults with learning disabilities. The sessions will use this language programme which uses signs and symbols in place of speech to bring people together to enjoy music, singing, dancing and performing. We will also be able to set up a variety of new activities including beauty and massage, rebound therapy, gardening, music therapy, outdoor sports and much much more!
The Aberdeen-based project was one of five groups in STV North to compete for a share of a life changing £3 million. Each of the groups had their projects featured on prime time TV, giving the public a chance to see their fantastic work and then make the tough choice of where the money should go.
Corinne Brands, Finance Manager at Create Aberdeen said: "We are absolutely thrilled to have taken part in The People's Projects this year. It is has been a huge platform for us to raise awareness of the work we do, and we can't thank the public enough for getting behind us and giving us the opportunity to make our community a better place for all. This funding will enable us to provide a huge choice and range of activities for people with learning disabilities in Aberdeen."
The People's Projects has awarded around £45 million to over 1,000 good causes across the UK since it started in 2005.

Science academics innovative cancer vaccine achieves significant milestones
SapVax, the cancer immunotherapy spin out company founded by the Faculty of Science's Distinguished Professor Margaret Brimble, Professor Rod Dunbar and Dr Geoff Williams has reached two more significant milestones in its quest to develop peptide-based, self-adjuvanting cancer vaccines.
Based in the United States, and set up in conjunction with BioMotiv (a for-profit, mission-aligned accelerator), SapVax have demonstrated their vaccines can activate human T cells in vitro and are about to move to in vivo testing.
They have also successfully raised $3.3 million to progress research and development towards this innovative series of vaccines.
The product has been designed to act synergistically with other immuno-oncology therapies, including newly-approved checkpoint inhibitors, and stimulate the immune system to mount a targeted, tumour-killing response to cancer.
The vaccine was developed using ground-breaking chemistry that enables easy manufacture, which is extremely timely in the new era of personalised medicines.
Head of the School of Chemical Sciences, Associate Professor Gordon Miskelly says, "It is exciting to see what started as a scientific collaboration between the Brimble and Dunbar groups' heading towards commercial success."
Professor Dunbar from the School of Biological Sciences is pleased to see the project take another step towards clinical trials.
"We're delighted that work in our lab, especially by Dr Dan Verdon, was so well received by our company's US-based Scientific Advisory Board," he says.
"It's also really exciting to see how the continuing advances in the chemistry programme under Margaret's leadership - with Dr Geoff Williams' recent discoveries really playing a crucial role in propelling the company forward."
Professor Brimble from the School of Chemical Sciences loves the fact that SapVax is based on a fundamental chemistry platform developed by the Brimble and Dunbar groups at the University of Auckland (see article in Angewandte chemie).
"By joining forces with Rod, a world class immunologist, we were able to apply this chemistry to a clinical problem and now the vaccines are on the way to being used to treat patients with cancer."
Both are grateful for the support they have received from the Maurice Wilkins Centre and UniServices and value the collaborative partnerships that helped establish SapVax as an international company.

Shannon was homeless for three years. That began to change when, in her words, "I woke up one day and thought – no one is going to change things for me."
She's now a part-time student at Madison College and the single-parent of a 2-year-old child with a disability. She wants to be a nurse to premature babies in neonatal intensive care after she completes her 3-year nursing program. "I wanted to be a nurse since I was 13. I didn't think I had the drive or was smart enough. Now I think I do," she said.
Finding the Right Supports
Shannon contacted ERI in 2014 when she was homeless and in a bad situation. Keeping a job was challenging because of her disability. Jolin Mitchel, a Community Benefits Specialist at ERI, supported her to start an application for Social Security benefits and went with her to the Social Security office to talk about the application. Shannon returned to working full time so she withdrew her application.
When Shannon was unable to continue working because of her disability she contacted Jolin again. He helped her complete the paperwork to re-apply for Social Security benefits and to understand what she needed to do to complete the application process. When her application was denied she decided to appeal. Jolin assisted her in filing a successful appeal. She now receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI), as well as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) based on her past work history.
Room to Heal and Grow
Shannon has a sweet smile and infectious laugh. Her eyes light up when she talks about her son and her hopes of becoming a nurse when she's done with school. She says, "I had a rough childhood. Being accepted for Social Security has given me time to heal from those things and find out who I am as a person. It's a building block."
She continues to receive support from Jolin. He's provided documentation several times when she was applying for apartments, talked with her about how Social Security's Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) work incentive could benefit her as a student, and supported her in advocating for herself when working with state agencies. Jolin says, "I've really appreciated working with Shannon and seeing her grow over the past years. She's persistent in reaching her goals and really cares about helping others."
Giving Back to Her Community
A year ago, when her son was 1-year old, Shannon raised $1700 for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the American Family Children's Hospital in Madison, WI. She said, "I wanted to help and give back to the people who helped me. In the past my biggest challenge was following through with things. Now I'm resourceful. I got out of homelessness and am becoming self-reliant. I hold myself accountable for what I need."
Shannon hopes her story encourages others to reach out for help when they need it. Her advice to others? "Don't give up, because you're worth it."

An Entire Highway Explodes After Gas Spill
Imagine driving down the highway when all of a sudden it goes up in flames. All of it. An expressway in China did after a truck spilled liquefied petroleum gas and several cars drove over it, which caused it to ignite. Amazingly, everyone survived, according to The Drive. You can see the tanker truck on the side of the road and then the Mazda suddenly bursts into flames while other cars throw it in reverse and back up down the road.
Join us this week on PowerNation as Katie and Gannon feature DBR High Performance. This 30,000 sq.ft. shop located in Spring Hill, TN is best known for adding horsepower to just about anything! Owner David Branson will share some of the builds they've powered up with 1500 to 1700 horses including a Jeep, a Caddy and Mustangs. Basically, they strap on high horsepower on to cars you can still drive every day! David and his guys also all race and support their clients at the races. Also this week our shops have all new episodes so make sure to tune in.

My own experience is that raw strings follow what i call the 'embedded languages' hypothesis, i.e. for any application, there is a length such all raw strings with a length greater than this length contain only embedded programming languages. So after this length instead of having the probability to see a character to be virtually 1, you have the opposite effect, because programming languages (a human construct) are very regular in the set of chars they use. So you do not need to a repetition of a character to avoid a statistical effect that does not occur. Being able to choose the escape character, is enough. > > P.S.

Budget Watch – Part III: 10 of the Worst New Budget Provisos
The total budget for FY10-2011 is $21.149 billion, comprised of $8.268 billion in Federal Funds; $7.766 in Other Funds; and $5.115 billion in General Funds. The budget is almost half a billion dollars more than last year's authorized budget of $20.695 million and $290 million larger than the $20.859 billion bud. Thus, in spite of handwringing and complaints about budget cuts, the FY10-2011 budget is the largest in state history.
How Much Is That Budget Proviso Going to Cost?
Even as lawmakers are complaining about budget cuts and a barebones spending act, state spending continues to increase – by 2 percent over last year's appropriated budget. By comparison, per capita income in South Carolina declined by 2.1 percent, going from $32,495 to $31,799 in 2009.

Published on July 23, 2020
Have you ever followed your child around the playground? They may have been a toddler and you were worried they would take the wrong step and fall off the jungle gym. Therefore, you followed your toddler around, keeping them within arm's reach so that you could prevent them from falling or having an accident.
I have been that parent at the playground in the past. With twin boys who had no fear as toddlers, I would follow them onto playground equipment because I was concerned for their safety.
After a few months of doing this, I stopped. I came to realize that children need to learn through their own experiences. They will fall, but they will also learn how to avoid danger and make calculated judgments about risks through their experiences. If I was always there to stop them from falling, they wouldn't learn to stop themselves.
They had to learn things on their own. Of course, as a parent, it is still my responsibility to not place them in situations where they could be terribly injured.
For example, we started at playgrounds that were intended for children under the age of five. We didn't move up to the big playgrounds until they were old enough and aware of their behaviors and the risks involved in playground play activities.
The intention of overprotective parenting is well-meaning. These types of parents are highly concerned about their children's safety and decision making. Their ultimate goal is to protect their child from harm. Parents should be concerned about the safety and well-being of their children.
However, on the flip side, parents should also be teaching their children about risk and responsibility. Those lessons are best taught through life experience. If we are always following behind our children, ready to catch them at a moment's notice, then we aren't allowing them to learn about risk and responsibility.
Unger, a researcher on overprotective parenting, suggests that parents should allow children to participate in activities on their own that are considered low-risk.[1] This means allowing children to engage in activities on their own that provide "manageable amounts of risk and responsibility."
Unger cited that parents have become increasingly more protective of their children and are much more watchful of their children's activities than previous generations.
The problem with being an overprotective parent is that the child misses out on the opportunity to build responsible behavior skills, build autonomy, and develop self-esteem. Their confidence can be undermined when mom or dad are always watching and guiding their behavior.
They can develop a sense that they are unable to make their own good decisions because they are never allowed to do so in life. Their confidence and self-esteem are hindered when they aren't allowed to do things on their own without their parents hovering or watching over them.
Parents with overly protective tendencies think that they are helping their child. Their goal is to protect their child, but it goes to the extreme. Below are some ways that a parent can be overly protective.
This type of behavior can end up harming their child's development when one or more of these behaviors is present. There are likely other ways that a parent can be overprotective of their child, as this list is not comprehensive.
These are examples so you can assess your behavior to determine if you need to loosen up overly protective parenting habits.
Kids learn from natural consequences. If they are not allowed to have natural consequences because their parent is continually protecting them from failure and harm, their development is being hindered.
For example, let's look at a child named Sally who is 13. She is a child who is overly managed by her parents and is not allowed to go to sleepovers or even go to another friend's home. Her parents are worried about stranger danger and what can happen if they are not with their child.
Sally is allowed to have friends at her home, but her parents are always watching the kids. Whenever Sally and her friends begin to disagree, the argument is squelched before the children can even begin to work things out between themselves because Sally's parents will intervene and solve the problem.
Sally is never alone with friends outside of school because her parents are always present. The presence of her parents in her socialization is hindering her development.
She doesn't know how to work out disagreements between her peers because she has never been allowed the opportunity to even try. Her social skills are lacking because parents intervene to direct her behavior while she is with her friends.
Kids need space and time to be independent while they are children. If Sally were to be left alone with her friends, her friends would eventually push back at her bossy behavior when her parents are not present.
However, because Sally's parents are always present she gets away with being overly-bossy to her friends. She is not learning about the natural consequences of her bossiness but someday will when it may be difficult to change her behaviors as she is older in more set in her ways.
It is easier to learn through natural consequences at a young age. Sally will likely end up going to therapy as an adult because she can't keep friendships intact. Her bossy behaviors and lack of awareness have led to her having severed friendships repeatedly as a young adult.
She will have to work with a therapist to uncover the reason why she is losing friends and then work to change her behavior to learn better ways to act towards her friends in the future.
There are a variety of effects of overprotective parenting. It is often dependent on the methods the parent utilizes and the extent of the overprotective behavior.
For example, let's look at Tina who is a girl age 10. She wants to run and participate in her school's after-school competitive track program. However, she is not allowed to participate in after school activities because her parents are worried that she will be exposed to boys and may start having relationships with the opposite sex too young.
Another concern is that a boy may "take advantage" of their daughter, so they want to protect her from being exposed to boys outside of school and their supervision.
The problem with this is that Tina is missing out on participating in a sports activity that could help her develop friendships. She is also missing out on the opportunities associated with being a part of a team, working hard physically to compete, and developing sportsmanship skills.
Her parents are well-meaning, but their over-protection is preventing her from participating in a sports activity that she deeply desires to engage in.
There are other effects of overprotective parenting. Below are some examples.
This list is not comprehensive, as every parenting situation and family is unique. However, this list can help provide some insight into the detrimental effects that overprotective parenting can cause.
If children are not allowed to try things on their own, they cannot build self-confidence and self-esteem.
If a child is always accustomed to having a parent around and supervising their behavior, they can become dependent on the decision making of their parents because they are never allowed to be alone or do things alone.
A child who is never allowed to try to do things on their own can become anxious when they are finally allowed to try things out on their own. They worry about making mistakes or failing because they have continually had a parent to help them avoid mistakes and failure.
When parents are always helping and guiding their children to an extreme, children will fail to develop their own responsibility skills. If they are never held responsible for anything, how can they develop a sense of responsibility?
Youniverse explained that children who have overprotective parents who constantly direct their children's behavior end up seeking the approval of those in their life.[2] These children will grow up accustomed to someone always telling them what the "right behavior" looks like.
If they don't have that praise or comfort of someone saying they did things right, they can become anxious or depressed. They become people-pleasers who seek the appraisal of others.
When children are raised in an overly protective home, they often engage in risky behavior when the reigns are lifted. They haven't experienced the failures associated with low-risk situations at a younger age because of their overly protective parents.
Therefore, when they get older, access to high-risk situations becomes more easily accessible, and without understanding high risk versus low-risk situations, they engage without the wisdom of previous experiences.
Because of their inexperience with risks in general, they may engage in high risk because they are unaware of consequences.
Psychology Today explains that children with overprotective parents have developmental issues, such as not being able to deal with stress and poor social skills.[3]
For example, a child who isn't allowed to play on a playground because the parent wants to protect their child from injury is prevented from learning about risk-taking on the playground and the bumps and bruises from consequences.
Such a child may grow up to either having too much fear because it was instilled by their parents or have no fear because they have no concept of high-risk versus low-risk behavior.
The Psychology Today article also explained that children who have overly protective parents that do not allow exposure to germs can become children who have a compromised immune system. Exposure to germs as children is needed for them to develop a healthy immune system naturally.
When parents are disinfecting everything the child encounters and not allowing exposure to germs (e.g., not allowing them to go to a petting zoo or to play in the sandbox because of the germs in those places), they can be stunting their child's ability to develop their immune system.
Children who have been parented by control freaks learn this behavior from their parents. Parents are the primary role model of behavior for their children. If children see their parents acting as though they must have control over others and every situation at all times, then they too will learn to behave in this same manner.
If after reading this content you feel that you may be an overprotective parent, there is hope. You can change.
It begins with loosening the reigns of control over your child in a calculated and reasonable manner. Allowing for low-risk behaviors and the consequences involved can help your child become more independent.
There is definitely a balance to protective versus overprotective parenting. Allowing for activities and exposure to experiences that are low-risk is a good way to start.
For example, allowing your child to play on age-appropriate playground equipment (without following them) is a good first step. They will experience some bumps and bruises, but this is a part of normal development and learning about consequences.
You will want to research authoritative parenting methods if you feel you are an overprotective parent. Overprotective parents tend to be authoritarian parents.
Here is a LifeHack article I previously wrote about authoritarian parenting, so you can understand the drawbacks to this parenting method: Authoritarian Parenting.
Authoritative parenting is not control-based parenting. It involves teaching consequences naturally, allowing age-appropriate decision-making, and having conversations with children rather than dictating for ultimate control and compliance.
MSU Extension provides some great guidelines for authoritative parenting.[4] Below are some of the behaviors they described with authoritative parenting methods:
It is never too late to work on our parenting skills. There is no such thing as a perfect parent, therefore, we can always be working on improving our parenting methods.
We all want our children to be successful, happy, and competent as adults. It does not happen overnight. Parenting is a continual process of trying daily to help our children live and learn through their own life experiences.
If we try to protect them every step of the way, then they are not being allowed to truly experience life.
Allow for age-appropriate experiences and allow for failures so that they can learn how to pick themselves back up and try again.

Intro & a few Qs
Hello all.
I'm Vince, a stark-raving NuB, and was pleasently surprised to find this group from the linuxquestions.org site.
1st distro was Slack (about 8 mo. ago), got hooked on KDE. A friend recommended Ubuntu, so I dual boot (w/ XP) on my laptop. (Added KDE over top just so I can get around.)
I'm looking to learn enough I can run XP under VMWare (I still have *that one* ap I still need Uncle Bill for...) and get my flash drive to behave itself.
The Unix Systems Support Group (USSG) at the IUPUI campus consists of three very overworked guys, so I feel kinda bad about asking any of them for personal time.
What I'm looking for is a bare-bones overview of how Unix is structured, and what the #e[[ most of the GNU commands actually mean. -Anyone willing to throw a NuB a bone once in a while would be appreciated.
Oh yeah, I'm VERY good at buying beer for my cohorts / gurus.

Linux Boot Camp
About twice a year CINLUG holds in depth training sessions called Linux Boot Camps. It sounds like our Boot Camp might be beneficial for you. We're still in the planning stages for our next boot camp - our website will be updated once we know more.
Starting Point
If you are a self-learner, you can check out:
This site has tons of links to FAQs, HOWTOs, Free Online Books, Etc.
Also up there at:
You can find actual Linux Online courseware for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced users.
I'd say download a LiveCD or LiveDVD distro like:
http://www.knoppix.org/ or http://www.ubuntu.com/
And then take those courses and follow along with your Linux Live distro, so you can't possibly blow up your existing system. Then when you're ready to go full bore and delete your M$ partitions, you can attend a boot camp or just show up at a meeting and I'm sure there will be plenty of folks ready to show you how to use fdisk /dev/hda and blow away your NTFS and FAT32 partitions! HA!
P.S. If you are a paid member of CINLUG ($30/year) you can attend CINLUG events and boot camps at half price!
