6:26 AM PT -- Turns out the women that were hanging with Draymond were Steph Curry's wife and mother.
You can see Steph's mom, Sonya, shooting a thumbs down sign at the fans during the exchange.
No word on where Steph was when it all went down.
NBA player Draymond Green THREW FOOD at a bunch of Seahawks fans at CenturyLink Field yesterday during an altercation involving his group of Panthers fans ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.
Green's group was seated in a private box -- and sources tell us there was a LOT of smacktalking between his group and the Seahawks fans sitting below him.
But toward the end of the game, when Seattle started piling it on ... things got especially heated -- and that's when the Golden State Warriors bigman grabbed some food and fired it at the Hawks fans.
Someone else in the group also tossed some food down below.
We're told no one got kicked out of the game -- it was already so close to the final whistle that everyone just dispersed. But the Seattle fans definitely had some words for Green as they left.
We reached out to Green and his reps for comment -- so far, no word back.
Cam Newton
It's a Miracle
I Survived the Crash
Cam Newton says he's SHOCKED that he wasn't killed or seriously injured in that frightening rollover crash Tuesday -- and says he's been constantly thanking God that he survived.
The Carolina Panthers QB just released a statement on Instagram ... saying when he looks at images of the wreck he immediately begins to think, "soMEone is supposed to be dead or severely injured worse than what I am right now!"
Cam says the accident has strengthened his faith in god ... and says, "Someone has there protective hands on my life shielding me from any danger that may come my way!"
He continued, "I know one thing, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF 'IF' you are holding a grudge against someone, 'IF' you don't tell the people that's close and dear to you that 'YOU LOVE THEM' every chance you get."
"SHAMEonYOU if YOU go another second in life with holding a grudge or HATING on someone, taking life for granted, or just not appreciating the breath you just breathed."
"Trust and believe there are plenty people with illnesses, people in the hospital, or even people that are 6ft under the earth that W1SH they had "another"opportunity to do so!"
He concluded with the hashtag ... "#THANKyouJESUSforALLOWINGmeTOseeANOTHERday"
Cam Newton
Released From Hospital
Won't Be Charged
It's been a great morning for Cam Newton -- not only was he released from the hospital following Tuesday's car crash, but he also learned he won't be charged with a crime.
According to the Carolina Panthers, Newton "has soreness but is in good spirits. He's excited to be discharged and begin recuperating with family."
The Charlotte PD tells TMZ Sports ... Cam did nothing wrong when it comes to the accident and he will not be charged.
Cam suffered two "transverse fractures" in his lower back, and his status for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay is still up in the air.
Oh yeah ... Cam was also named NFC Offensive Player of the Week today.
Cam Newton's Truck
The Wreckage
TMZ Sports has obtained new pics of Cam Newton's truck -- which show just how bad it was banged up in Tuesday's wreck.
After the collision, which occurred right near Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, Cam's Dodge Ram 1500 truck was hauled to a nearby tow yard.
Sources tell us the truck sustained so much damage from the rollover crash, it's considered a total loss.
It's fortunate Newton didn't have a passenger in the car -- because as you can see in the photo, the roof on the front passenger side caved in when it rolled over. Witnesses say the car rolled at least 2 times.
The truck was not your average Dodge Ram -- we're told it was pimped out especially for Cam ... with a custom lift job and other cool features.
Of course, Newton walked away with only minor fractures in his back -- but he's gotta be bummed to lose the ride.
Cam Newton
Fractured Back In Car Wreck
12:31 PM PT -- Cam suffered two "transverse fractures" in his lower back and will remain in the hospital overnight ... according to the Carolina Panthers.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton was hospitalized after his truck was flipped over in a car wreck Tuesday in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Officials say two cars were involved in the wreck ... Cam's truck and a sedan ... which collided on a bridge right in front of Bank of America Stadium where the Panthers play.
Cam was seen on his back on the side of the bridge where the accident took place ... grimacing in pain. Several people were seen tending to the 25-year-old QB.
We're told Cam kept trying to stand up after the accident ... but couldn't ... and eventually relented and waited for help to arrive.
Multiple emergency vehicles raced to the scene. Cam reportedly told paramedics he did NOT want to be transported to the hospital ... but eventually gave in.
He was placed on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance which rushed him to a nearby hospital.
As for the condition of the other driver, officials tell us the person was also transported to the hospital -- but did not suffer any life-threatening injuries.
A witness at the scene tells TMZ Sports ... Newton was "t-boned" from the left side, swerved, and then flipped over.
The witness says he observed Cam crawling out of the back window of the truck ... he walked over to the curb and laid down.
The witness says, "Cam didn't blow any lights or stop signs" and believes Cam had the right of way through the intersection where he was struck.
Story developing ...
Panthers Star Greg Hardy
Over Domestic Violence Conviction
The Carolina Panthers have decided to DEACTIVATE superstar defensive end Greg Hardy because of his domestic violence conviction -- a decision that was made by the team Sunday morning and it seems fairly obvious it's all because of the Ray Rice situation.
Back in July, a North Carolina judge found Hardy guilty of attacking his girlfriend and threatening her life during an altercation in May -- but the Panthers and the NFL decided not to punish Hardy while he appealed the decision and pursued a jury trial.
Translation -- THEY SAT ON THEIR HANDS AND DID NOTHING FOR MONTHS.
But now, in the wake of the Ray Rice scandal -- and a public outcry against the NFL for taking too light of a stance against domestic violence -- the Panthers have decided to deactivate Hardy for today's game.
As for the incident, Hardy's ex had claimed he beat the living crap out of her and threatened to kill her during a jealous late-night rage.
The woman had testified that Hardy got angry that night when he heard a Nelly song at a nightclub -- which angered him because the woman had briefly dated the rapper when she was on a break from Hardy.
Story developing ...
DeAngelo Williams
I'm Bambi's Worst Nightmare!
DeAngelo Williams didn't just kill the Giants this year ... he also slaughtered some deer, turkey, rabbit and duck ... 'cause the Carolina Panthers running back is a hardcore hunting machine.
"I hunt all year round," Williams tells TMZ Sports ... "In season, out of season. I hunt everything."
He's not kidding ... Williams documents his kills on social media -- posting photos of the animals he tracks down and shoots.
But Williams insists he doesn't just hunt for the hell of it -- "I shoot to eat. If you kill it, you eat it. I tell my friends, if you kill a skunk, you eat it."
"I make my own jerky. My specialty is deer jerky. My 3-year-old loves it."
The 30-year-old Arkansas native says it's all part of his obsession with nature -- "There's no traffic, no people. Right before you pull the trigger you almost feel one with the animal."
"Last year I shot a 20 pound turkey!"
We reached out to the turkey for comment -- so far, no word back.
Carolina Panthers Star
I'm a Daddy Again!
Teammate Sends Mamaroo
It's been a GREAT couple of weeks for Carolina Panthers kicker Graham Gano ... 'cause right before he signed his new $12 MILLION contract, his wife gave birth to their 2nd kid ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Graham tells us ... right after his son was born (the couple's 2nd boy) ... some of his Panthers teammates sent fancy baby gifts to the house ... including a Mamaroo, courtesy of linebacker Chase Blackburn. Apparently, babies love those things.
Graham says ... even ex-teammates hooked baby Gano up with some fresh gear, including former Panthers defensive end Everett Brown -- who sent several boxes of gifts.
As for how Gano plans to celebrate the new contract, Graham tells us he can't really go crazy because of the kid -- but he does have some bachelor parties coming up and hopes his wife will give him a break from baby duty to let him go.
Yeah, good luck with that!!
DeAngelo Williams
Hooker Bust WON'T Ruin Super Bowl Week
Fear not NFL fans -- the giant prostitution sting in NYC will NOT ruin Super Bowl week ... so says Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams.
As we previously reported, cops in the Big Apple just busted a dozen hookers who had allegedly been advertising their "services" all over town ... a huge blow to people hoping to bang whores during the big weekend.
But Williams has a message to those who will affected by the sudden ho shortage -- it's ok, you'll get through it.
Check out the clip -- pretty funny stuff.
Adrian Peterson
Strong Fan Support
During Metrodome Arrival
Peterson is set to face the Carolina Panthers any moment now -- and judging by the video ... fans inside the arena are gonna go OFF when AP hits the field.
As we previously reported ... Adrian insisted on playing in today's game following the death of his 2-year-old son and earlier today said, "God wants good to come from it."
He added, "We mourn and grieve but heaven had the baddest welcoming party for my son ... That knowledge gives me peace."
Cam Newton
Pulls a Dangerfield ...
Heads Back to School
Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton knows ... he's gotta have a backup plan if the whole NFL thing doesn't work out ... so he's heading back to college.
Newton -- who blew off school to become the #1 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft -- has re-enrolled at Auburn University for the spring semester to continue working on his sociology degree.
FYI -- Newton signed a 4-year, $22 million contract with the Panthers when he first left Auburn ... and has undoubtedly racked up millions more through various endorsement deals.
Still, it's clear Newton knows you can't put a price on a good education ... and made the decision to go back.
A rep for the school told the Associated Press Cam won't be talking to the media about his decision because he just "wants to focus on school and be a normal student."
A normal student ... who can buy and sell the entire teaching staff.

More reviews by reallychelseawow
I love these. I have too many to list them, but I love them all. Everyone I own is waterproof, but I am pretty sure this line is only waterproof? I could be lying.
Long lasting, beautiful colours, some with shimmer, some without.
Only around $10cdn for amazing quality, and these go on sale at shoppers so often (between 40%-10% off almost every second weekend, sometimes bogo!).
The only reason I took one lippie off is because I find them a little difficult to sharpen. I have swapped sharpeners but I still find them a wee bit of a pain (wood breaks, or liner breaks, can never get a 'sharp' edge). A bit of a hassle but not enough to deter me from purchasing.
This brand is quickly becoming one of my favourites.
I accidently stumbled upon these at the store. I never used anything GOSH before but the vibrant colors of the velvet touch eyeliners made me swatch them on my hand.
As I already have a lot of liners I choose to buy only ' Hypnotic grey' because I had been looking for a grey pencil. I LOVE IT ! They remind me a lot of MAC pearlglides because the glide on in the same easy way. I love how that makes it so easy to apply. The huge range of colors is nice, but not really necessary for me. I will buy a dark green one though. Since I have more acces to GOSH than MAC this might become my HG liner !
My prayers were answered when I found this product. This is the only eyeliner I've been using for the past 2 years. It is a reasonable price, it is waterproof, it is sooooo creamy, it doesn't smudge, and overall it is so easy to apply. This is the EXACT SAME THING as Urban Decay eyeliners, except you pay about half the price. Don't waste your money on Urban Decay!!!! GOSH is amazing
Very nice and much more reasonably priced for products of equal quality. Long lasting and great color.
These liners are great. They have great staying power and the colour range is amazing (where else have you ever seen yellow or red eyeliner?). What I really like is how easily they glide on - you don't need any pressure or force (which is how it should be around your eyes in my opinion!). I have 5 colours - Green Devil, Bananas, Golden Globe, Copper Girl and Woodsy Green, and will definitely buy more. They are not exactly cheap but on sale the price is better, and they are definitely worth it. Also, they last forever.
I got this eyeliner in black during a 1+1 free sale, so I loved the price! The eyeliner goes on very smoothly, and it was easy to draw a thin line, which I find difficult with very soft eyeliners. The colour is a true dark black. I put it on around 3pm and it was still looking fresh at 12pm, so the staying power is excellent! I'd buy this product again(perhaps to try out the other colours, because there is a lot of product in there!)
I purchased this product in black and really liked it. It is very easy to apply and goes on dark and smooth. Its very resistant as well and can be worn for long periods. I have used other Gosh products and find them comparable to some MAC items.
In any case, this review is intended for the Velvet Touch Eyeliner in Purple Stain. Based on the reviews, my experience is obviously an anomaly and that's why I am rating it as high as I am. After wearing it for about 4 hours, I started to have an allergic reaction. After about 8 hours, my eyelids were swollen and itchy and my eyes were so bloodshot, it gave a lot of people the wrong impression
you know what Im sayin'
Days later, I tried it again just to be sure and sure enough
Same symptoms, only worse, and the skin on my eyelids began to crack and flake
Gross. I have never experienced an allergic reaction to any beauty product. This was a first. So yeah
Beware if you have sensitive eyes!
You know what though
My pain and suffering was not all that bad. Gosh Cosmetics does NOT test on animals, and I am a huge supporter of that.
I currently own 2 of these and plan to purchase more!
'Purple Stain' looks lovely but doesn't seem as pigmented or easy to apply as 'Woody Green', perhaps because Purple Stain is more metallic.
I have oily lids so line my upper lash liner with a Gel Liner and wear the Velvet Touch liner just below my waterline (not on the actual waterline per GOSH's website advice as referenced by other MUA ladies). To my surprise, the liner does last all day (8am til 10pm)!! Sure, the colour may not look 'perfect' at the end of the day, however it is by far the BEST I have come across to date.
For my waterline I have tried MAC powerpoint, MAC Khol, Stila Kajal, UD 24/7, Prestige waterproof and Intense liners. On myself, MAC's liners don't last at all, Stila and UD last for a few hours and with Prestige's liners I may touch up once during the day.
Before discovering the Velvet touch liners (secretly stocked in a boutique store in my city), my pencil of choice for waterline was Chanel's waterproof. I have now stopped using this because the Gosh liner is creamier and colour pay-off with staying power is so much better!
I highly recommend these liners - they are reasonably priced, soft to apply, the colours are amazing and most importantly they are long lasting.
(The only reason I took off a lippy is because they aren't easy to find in Australia!)
I saw this in a brilliant blue on a friend when we went to the water park on a rainy day, and was amazed at how vibrant it looked and how it didn't budge at all. I waited for it to go on sale and got it in a basic black. I've worn it once just on a normal day out and haven't dared to try it again because it smudged and made me look tired!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is perfection in a pencil! Until I discovered GOSH Velvet Touch liners I was a devout MAC fluidline user, but a friend recommended I try these and I am so glad I did! They wear almost exactly like my beloved fluidline - soft and creamy on application, you have some time to smudge/blend as you see fit but after a few minutes it SETS. No smearing or smudging even on my oily skin. If anything I would say that these "set" much faster than fluidline, and (for me) it is easier to apply these lightly via pencil than it is (for me) via brush. I usually end up wearing fluidline a little on the heavy side. Other than that I have no problem applying fluidline, but it sure is nice to have a pencil and not have that one more brush to wash each day. (OK, OK so I'm LAZY!)
I have used two colors so far:
Truly Brown - this is a dark brown, leaning towards black. Just slightly darker than MAC Dipdown fluidline.
Bananas - OMG instant love! This is a pale iridescent gold color that gives a lovely POP to the eyes. I would not use this for my upper lash line as I prefer darker eyeliner there, but this is lovely for inner corners or lower waterline/lash line. I have a current obsession with Smashbox Oyster and NYX Barely There eye shadows and this pencil is pretty much the eyeliner version of those eye shadows. My eyes are on the green side of hazel and adore these pale golds, and at my recommendation my BFF with blue eyes also tried this liner and loves it as well.
GOSH Velvet Touch liners are available at SDM and retail for $13 each. Well worth that price, but the best part is they have SALES! (Take THAT MAC!). GOSH just recently had a two day 40% off sale at SDM and I picked up these liners for $7.80 each.
I dare you to find a comparable eyeliner for that price!

Contrary to popular belief, I like to think of rejection and failure as a footnote or a good conflict within in a story, rather than the moment where someone should give up or call it a day, hang up their coat, and go home. The best stories are those of the underdogs. Think of the movie Rudy which is a movie about the kid from a blue collar family rises up to play football even if it's just for a moment and gain the love of his team, coaches, and fans. (Side note: the movie is based on the true story of Dan Ruettiger who played for Notre Dame.) Even if you're not a football fan anyone can relate to a story where everyone including their own family and friends has told them you can't make it, yet you still work as hard as you can to reach that goal.

ADHD: Is there an epidemic?
- At September 24, 2014
- By Dr Brendan Belsham
- In ADHD
- 5
Day after day in practice, concerned parents ask me why ADHD has suddenly become so prevalent. 'Better recognition' has been my standard response. But I am no longer satisfied with this reply, and nor are these parents. Let's examine this question in more detail.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder refers to a condition in which a child (or adult) displays excessive inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsivity. These symptoms can occur in varying combinations, giving us three subtypes of the condition, namely the inattentive, the combined, and the hyperactive-impulsive subtypes. It seems to affect boys more than girls. According to well-designed epidemiological studies, the prevalence of ADHD in school aged children is around 6%. This figure is constant across countries, ethnic groups and cultures, and has not increased over the years. Contrast these findings with the numbers of children actually receiving the ADHD diagnosis and/or treatment, and a very different picture emerges. In the United States, according to 2013 data from the Centre for Disease Control, 11% of children between the ages of 4 and 17 had received the diagnosis of ADHD compared to 5% in the early 1990's. In Britain, the estimated prevalence of ADHD in school children has risen from around 2% in 2003, to 5% in 2013. Inaccuracies in diagnosis have been highlighted in several studies, such as the Great Smoky Mountain study in the USA. In this study, some 1422 children, their parents and their teachers were given structured interviews to ascertain the prevalence of various conditions in the community. The results were quite startling. A mere 57% of the children who had been prescribed stimulant medications actually met criteria for ADHD! Of the entire group who did not meet diagnostic criteria for ADHD, as many as 4.5% had received stimulants. What's going on?
Part of the problem lies in the very nature of ADHD itself. Unlike other disorders in medicine, ADHD is a dimensional condition. The symptoms of inattentiveness, impulsivity and hyperactivity exist on a spectrum, without clear boundaries between normal and abnormal. We speak of a 'zone of ambiguity' between clear-cut cases and those who are obviously unaffected. This means that diagnostic rigour is required in the assessment of the condition, and one has to carefully appraise the frequency and impact of each symptom before it can 'count' as part of the diagnosis. Rushed assessments, and those based on quick checklists, will invariably lead to over-diagnosis. It is fairly commonplace these days for a doctor to casually write a script for a stimulant medication 'to see if it helps,' as if this was some sort of diagnostic test. There is now a large body of evidence attesting to the cognitive benefits of stimulant medications in those without the ADHD diagnosis. Indeed, there is growing international concern about the phenomenon of cognitive enhancement, defined as the amplification of core capacities of the mind through improvement of information processing systems through medical means without therapeutic intentions. And this phenomenon is now becoming more socially acceptable, fuelled no doubt by the greater importance given by contemporary society to tertiary education, and the increased competition for admission to degree courses. This cavalier approach to cognitive enhancement is a worrying trend on South African campuses. I have been approached by more than one concerned lecturer to provide some guidance on the matter, and a South African policy framework is urgently required to address this issue. Other sociological reasons have been put forward to explain the burgeoning number of stimulant scripts. As a society, we have become increasingly prone to find medical explanations for aberrant behavior. Whereas in the past we may have tended to moralize or criminalize such behavior, we now medicalise it, finding a suitable diagnostic home for the symptoms we see. Related to this is the phenomenon of 'medical reductionism,' whereby inherently complex issues are overly simplified to a one-dimensional diagnosis. Here is an excerpt from What's the fuss about ADHD:
' Both doctors and parents can fall into this trap, for different reasons. The doctor, because it is easier and he has a treatment to offer for this diagnosis, and the parents, because they actually prefer a label which lets them off the proverbial hook, rather than implicating their parenting, family lifestyle or worse… '
The symptoms of ADHD are non-specific and can occur in a number of other neuropsychiatric conditions. All too often, these conditions are ignored in favour of the ADHD diagnosis. Learning disorders, sensory modulation disorders, anxiety disorders, childhood depression and bipolar disorder can all masquerade as ADHD. Unidentified hearing or visual impairments may present with what appears to be inattentiveness and disruptiveness. Sleep disorders such obstructive sleep apnoea may not manifest with yawning or somnolence in the classroom, but rather with increased hyperactivity and inattentiveness, thus incorrectly invoking a diagnosis of ADHD. Special mention should also be made of the oft-neglected Adjustment Disorder, which refers to the presence of emotional or behavioural symptoms (including hyperactivity and inattentiveness) occurring within three months of an identifiable stressor in a child's life. If a child's parents have recently separated, and she becomes distractible in class, the correct diagnosis is an Adjustment Disorder, not ADHD. A script for Ritalin or Concerta is inappropriate in this situation, and treatment should rather be targeted at the environment, in this case the parenting system, surrounding the child.
Another overlooked area in psychiatry is that of attachment, which refers to the close emotional bonds of affection that develop between babies and their primary caregivers. Depending on what happens between the mother and child in these crucial early months, children may become either securely or insecurely attached. Healthy attachment requires a primary caregiver who is consistently present, and attuned enough to the child to respond appropriately to her needs for focused attention, physical affection and stimulation. This is why it is so important to recognise and treat postnatal depression, a condition in which the mother cannot provide the emotional availability which her child requires. Secure attachment leaves the child with an 'internal working model,' or template, which allows her to see herself as valued, and others as 'basically good.' This facilitates healthy relationships in childhood and later life. In addition, studies have shown that securely attached children have longer attention spans and show more persistence in tasks. Interesting findings, considering that children with ADHD show impairments in these very areas. There is actually very little in the scientific literature on this, but the few studies which have been published, support an association between insecure attachment and ADHD. This overlap has prompted some to refer to the condition, somewhat cynically, as Attachment Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
An ADHD epidemic? Better recognition? Neither. At least in certain communities, we are over-recognizing ADHD, which has emerged as a more palatable alternative to a deeper, thornier complex of societal and environmental issues. This has contributed to what Russell Barclay refers to as the 'trivialisation' of the ADHD diagnosis. We urgently need to find a balance between proper recognition and treatment of this often debilitating condition, and accurate appraisal of the more subtle forces at play in our society.

Childhood depression
- At September 10, 2014
- By Dr Brendan Belsham

Took part in a radio interview on SAFM this morning on childhood depression. This is the audio link for those who are interested:
http://iono.fm/channel/1337 (scroll down to 27 August)
Help! My child is underachieving!
This is a very common refrain from parents and teachers alike. But what does it mean exactly, what are the causes, and what can be done about it?
We all want to believe the best for our children, academically and in every other sphere. It is natural for parents to assume that their children can do better, whatever their current level of functioning.
There are a number of conditions which might affect a child's academic performance, including learning disorders, ADHD, childhood depression, anxiety disorders and various physical conditions, such as visual or hearing impairments. (Remenber that a learning disorder is a specific area of academic weakness out of keeping with the child's overall IQ). If any of these are suspected, an appropriate professional should be consulted and treatment, pharmacological or other, initiated as deemed necessary. Sometimes a change of school may be required, as is often the case with a learning disorder.
But it may be that none of these clinical conditions are identified. Or possibly the ADHD has been treated and his marks haven't improved. What then?
It is tempting to find fault with the school or the teacher in trying to make sense of a child's difficulties, but usually the answer lies closer to home. Of course, there are instances where teachers and even school policies are to blame, and let's not forget the impact of bullying on a child's performance. But as parents we must make sure that our own house is in order, as it were. In our desire to see our children succeed, important parenting principles are sometimes forgotten by the wayside. The ultimate outcome, ironically, is that the child's results – along with everything else – fall short of expectations. Here are four important pitfalls to avoid in preparing your child for academic success.
1. Stress in the home
Some children, especially in poorer areas, have to negotiate very real practical obstacles to their learning, such as undelivered textbooks, inadequate lighting at home, insufficient desk space and the like. But the emotional milieu of the home can be just as important, if not more important than these outward factors. If there is overt or covert tension between parents, substance abuse, mental illness or domestic violence – sadly only too common in our society – it is unreasonable to expect a child to perform. To learn, a child needs to be relaxed, and in such an environment they cannot be, no matter how good the school you send them to.
2. Outsourcing our parenting to the school
It is laudable for parents to value their children's education, and to make sacrifices to send them to the best possible schools. But if this happens at the expense of the emotional investment of youself in your child, you will be disappointed with the results. Especially in their early months and years, children require a close, nurturing relationship with their parents, and nothing can substitute for this requirement: it cannot be outsourced. There is good evidence that the quality of a child's bonding with their parents (secure or insecure) in infancy has far-reaching implications for several domains of later development, including academic achievement. What is crucial here is that there seems to be a 'programming effect' in the infant's brain, such that the sequelae of insecure attachment persist despite later interventions, and despite, dare I say it, the quality of the school you send him to.
3. Helicopter parenting
It is very important to allow your child, from as young an age as possible, to learn for themselves and to make their own mistakes. Too many parents, especially moms, are doing homework and assignments for their children because of their own anxiety about their child's grades. This is profoundly disempowering for a child, as it sends the message that 'my own efforts are not good enough.' It erodes self-confidence and interferes with the development of his own study skills and work ethic. Rather allow him to achieve a lower mark, knowing it was his own effort, as this lays the foundation for his own work ethic and establishes a realistic baseline against which to measure his future efforts.
4. An unhealthy emphasis on results
I believe we need to revisit what we are trying to achieve in bringing up children. What are your goals as a parent? Every family should have these clearly articulated, otherwise we will get swept up by the tide of society's misguided values and priorities. One of these misguided values is the emphasis on talent rather than on hard work. For some reason, we take pride in our innate ability as if we can somehow wear it as a badge. We might even boastfully celebrate success achieved with mimimal or no effort. Children internalise their parents' values, whether we like it or not. If we are overly preoccupied with results and material success, our children will follow suit, whatever we tell them. This will, amongst other things, engender an unhealthy performance anxiety for tests and exams, leading to sub-par results. Rather, from an early age, we need to emphasise the importance of a healthy work ethic, as part of our child's overall character development. Out of respect for herself, her parents and her teachers, she does her best, and these efforts needs to be praised and rewarded, whatever the results…and the results will follow!
Finally, let's remember that a child is a work in progress. His character development, work ethic, ability to prioritise, strategies for managing stress, and indeed his cognitive capacity, are all developing over time. Viewed in this light, It shouldn't surprise us that our children are underachieving; as my professor once said, 'who doesn't?'

David and Goliath, by Malcolm Gladwell
Just finished Malcolm Gladwell's latest offering, 'David and Goliath.' I was particularly inspired by his chapter on 'Desirable Difficulties,' including conditions such as Dyslexia (and probably ADHD). What we assume to be disadvantages very often have a silver lining, provided these children are appropriately nurtured. A very encouraging read for any parent of a child with academic difficulties (or, for that matter, any parent!)

THQ is on the edge of foreclosure. But the publisher today announced a forbearance deal with Wells Fargo which gives the company until January 15, 2013 to secure financing alternatives with an unidentified sponsor.
The Saints Row: The Third and Darksiders II publisher indicated it was pursuing alternative options when it announced consultation with a private equity broker and withdrew financial guidance earlier this month.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Wells Fargo. This agreement enables us to continue focusing on bringing our games in development to market," THQ CEO Brian Farrell said in a statement. "Meanwhile, we are evaluating financial alternatives that will transition the company into its next phase."
The release warns the potential sponsorship may not come to fruition, and if it does, it may bring about "significant and material dilution to shareholders." THQ also announced the departure of its chief financial officer Paul Pucino in the release.
THQ delayed several of its games earlier this month, including South Park: The Stick of Truth, Company of Heroes 2, and Metro: Last Light.

Psychologist Jason Seidel, Psy.D, has heard partners lament all-too often: "This isn't the person I married" or "I'm worried this person isn't perfect for me." And you know what? They're probably right.
But there's more to relationships than a partner who remains the perfect fit your entire life. Seidel explains more about the myth of the perfect partner and other relationship fantasies.
1. Myth: Your partner will always be the one.
Fact: There is no "once-and-for-all best match," said Seidel, founder and director of The Colorado Center for Clinical Excellence in Denver. People and relationships rarely remain static. So that once great fit may "become broken, stale or wrong for [you]." In fact, according to Seidel, as you continue to grow in your life, you might even change who you'd pick as your partner.
Before posting, please read our blog moderation guidelines. The comments below begin with the oldest comments first. Click on the last comments page to jump to the most recent comments.
The problem is, it's not such a myth.
We all know couples who say that their lives were changed when they met the right person for them. The person with whom the fit was right on all fronts, from sexual to religious and everything else.
I know a woman who swore that she would never marry. Then she met the right guy, and they're happily married now for twenty-five years, in a completely (as far as I know, but I don't see any reason why they'd lie to me) monogamous relationship.
Maybe these people aren't perfect partners. But they're close enough to it for life. With the right partner? The things that would be resentful irritants and roadblocks for another pair of people because just another obstacle to overcome.
It's not politically correct to write what I just wrote. But that doesn't make it any less true.
Well, if the above was correct, perhaps nobody should really bother and get into a relationship.The first "myth" contradicts the explanation below it. The writer affirms that we should look for a partner who's willing to communicate and adjust, a partner who's genuine and whom we can trust and a partner with whom we agree on main issues and key values. Surprise, this is "the One"!I don't know anybody who thought having doubts is a no-no. And if one is complete already, why do they need a partner? The opposite of completeness is not being desperate and alone. My opinion is that the truth lies in the middle.dS
The union that looks like a perfect couple to an outsider may have gone through many changes, some painful, over the years. No one can ever tell what is really happening in a relationship except those who are in it – and even then there are 2 sides. I think the advice in the post is good – and may encourage people to take reasonable chances to build relationships with potential partners, rather than expecting a prince – or princess – made only for them, and focused on their needs. We need relationships because we have a need for intimacy; we do this best when we are at least [relatively] strong and whole.
As there is no perfect person, perfect relationship doesn't exit either. The human being only looks for 'the other one' to attach and feel safe. The baby attaches his/her mother to feel secure and be sure that he/she will be looked after. The same process works for adult's relationships and the attachment determines the length of it.
I know this is few month old, but I was disappointed by the negative comments on what I thought was a nice little piece of wisdom, unfortunately the case with wisdom is it's only gained after a good hard look at the all the facts we have. There really isn't 'the one', there is an immeasurable number of people who we are capable of connecting with, typically people stop once they come across one of those under the right circumstances (even if circumstance don't seem right, if you make a relationship out of it it was right). So it's not that there is only one, people just stop once they have one, well monogamist do. I'm surprised polyamory hasn't been mentioned yet as proof to debunk this myth.

Burton AK 2L Jussi Anorak Jacket - Men's
Old School Pullover
The Jussi Anorak is one of my favorite jackets. I love the pullover since I first started boarding in 94. It was nice to find a super high quality unit with the Gore-Tex quality and the dope Burton styling. I enjoy the roomier cut and extended length. It work out awesome last week on a knee deep powder day. When I hit a large rock with my back the jacket remained unscathed and all I had was a purple egg to remember the fall. The jacket was unharmed. I was worried the shell would be weak, but I totally believe in the 2L performance shell for both comfort and strength. Soft to the touch and ready to Rock! I give high praise and recommend this pullover! WORD!

I live in nebraska and me and my dad are building a 80ft long 30ft wide 25ft tall fully heated tropical greenhouse heated with wood as we get as much fire wood as we want from a forest of alder I planted for just this verry thing as they grow back verry well and I just wanted to know what some yummy and weird fruits I could grow in it that don't get to tall or could be pruned to fit are thanks. |

guava and mango? Also semi-dwarf citrus. Figs can be pruned. |
As desertdance suggests, Guava is nice and easy (there are tropical and subtropical species...I only have grown the tropical ones). Mangos too are good, even small one WILL produce fruit. Try to get a dwarf though...like Cogshall/Condo mango. Lots of the tropicals are really quite easy... Sugar cane, ginger, bananas are easy enough for beginners (try the dwarf cavindish.). Subtropical kiwi is a vine that is super aggressive and lush (so much so that I had to remove it from my outdoor garden here in NJ, so sure it will do fine in a greenhouse in Nebraska...but it is deciduous). Passion fruit for fruit and flowers is nice. Citrus, if you go that route, is ADDICTING, so try...kumquats, Meyer Lemons, ponderosa Lemons (enormous), Washington Navels, Blood Oranges, grapefruit, Persian Limes, Key Limes, pomelos, Valencia, mandarins...you got the point?! Loquats are just about cold hardy here outside of greenhouses (except for last year), so if heating is an issue...LOQUATS! Figs are also very cold-hardy. Best of luck! |

Very very cool, bee tree - I can just see this is going to be a VERY FUN project for you. I like the varieties other folks have mentioned.How about adding Papaya to the mix, if you like them. There are vines too - passion fruit, dragon fruit, oh lordy there are sooooo many things you could plant. Go online and see what's out there....or maybe go to a site that sells tropical and sub-tropical plants and you will get tons of ideas.... Gosh, I want to see a picture of this Monstrous greenhouse when it is completed... M.A.Dawg |
- Posted by dangermouse01 coastal Central FL (My Page) on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 18:22
Mine isn't tropical, more temperate fruits that need winter chilling. If you decide to build another it would only need to be 12-14ft for my crops: citrus, figs, grapes, kiwi, blueberry, blackberry, and all kinds of stone fruits. Why 25ft tall? You could grow anything in one 5-10ft shorter. It will need to be super ultra strong at that height in NE. |
Here is a link that might be useful: greenhouse fruit production in west Texas
Thank you all so much for your posts.and I am building it 25ft tall for some of the fruit I have eaten and REAlY loved such as rambutan avocado jackfruit dwarf coconut and large papaya trees heating is not a problem it will stay 75 in there all year and it will be done in 8 months. The goal is to have a small tropical fruit forest here in zone 5 Nebraska I did not think of putting citrus mango and guava in there as well great ideas thank you all. |
This post was edited by beetree on Tue, Jul 29, 14 at 20:22
Even the 'tropical' guava is easy (Psidium guajava), and mine has to survive some degree of Winter cold as well...will even come back if leaves are shed! Regarding the papaya...there is a dwarf variety readily available and I love it! Seems more robust than the others. Some others to consider... Cafea arabica (coffee) |

Bellavista comprises of a 3 bedroom villa and a 2 bedroom adjacent house (a barn conversion) located in southern Italy (the heel bit). All bedrooms are en-suite with the master bedrooms in each building having their own terraces that overlook the pool and catch the rising sun. The villa and the house each have their own independent kitchens, lounge and dining areas. The property sits on a hilltop between Ostuni and Ceglie Messapica with a panorama that takes in 3 ancient hilltop towns & distant views to the sea. On the neighbouring hill is a typical masseria (farmhouse) & peeping through the surrounding sea of olive trees are the cones of several trulli, a type of rustic conical stone building unique to this region. Set in a 2.5 acres of gardens, olive, fruit & nut trees and furnished in a cool, comfortable and contemporary style. Features include a roof terrace, swimming pool, plunge pool, BBQ, wood-fired pizza oven, fire-pits & volleyball/badminton & boules/bocce courts. there is a round-the-clock, 6 hole mini golf course on the pine terrace. The slope of the hill is terraced and the upper terraces have been left semi-wild and have several strategically placed, secluded relaxing areas with splendid views. Other facilities include free WiFi internet connection, laundry & numerous alfresco dining places.
Besides the main pool and the plunge pool there is plenty to occupy guests. There are dedicated volleyball/badminton and boules/bocce courts, mini golf course, darts board, board games. croquet, films, books and CDs. At night the roof terrace is an ideal location for star gazing and chilling.
Nearby there are skilled potters who offer tuition and a little further away there is 5star golf course and boat hire.
There is a wide spectrum of excellent restaurants ranging from cheap and cheerful family cooking and lots of it to award wining fine dining. There are also plenty of cafes and bars in the area and in adjacent towns. Ask to be mailed our restaurant list for more details.
There are 2 well-equipped kitchens with hob, oven, toaster, kettle, juicer, slow cooker, fridge, freezer, dishwasher etc. which gives groups of guests the opportunity to be flexible and independent or share the catering. Outside there is a charcoal only BBQ and wood-fired pizza oven. The pool terrace also has a portable BBQ. There are several outdoor seating areas around the pool, on the land , on the roof on the terraces in sun or shade as well as indoor dining areas in both buildings.
Giovanna at the farm across the road sells eggs, ricotta and hard cheese by the truckle.
Masseria Fragnite about 2km away has a wider selection of cheeses including mozzarella, They also have homemade salami, ham and flour. You can buy fresh milk here if you ask for it in the cheese shop (take a bottle to put it in)
Macelleria Aziendale is a farm butcher is about a km down the road towards Antimo's and you can get just about anything here from a whole goat to a beef burger.. All excellent quality and reasonably priced. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday there is a fornello pronto here where you can choose your meat and they bbq it for you and you eat it in an outside dining area with wine, water, beer or bread or take it away.
Ceglie and Ostuni street market on Saturday morning are good for food, clothes and odd bits and pieces.
Both Ceglie and Ostuni have lots of specialist shops that you will find just by driving around: Pescheria-fish, Macelleria-butcher, Ceisificio or fromaggeria-cheese, Panificio –bread, foccacia and cakes, Pastificeria-fresh pasta, Pasticceria- cakes, Gelateria-ice cream and frozen cakes, Frutti/vedure-fruit & vegetables, Cantina-wine, Enoteca-wine & olive oil.
SUPERMARKET: The closest (and best with the best range of goods) local supermarket is DOK (5 mins).
The Saturday morning markets in Ostuni and Ceglie have reasonably priced fashionable clothes as does Grottaglie market on Thursday morning. There is a good selection of shops in the Shopping Malls (see below). The main street in Ostuni has a good selection of designer shops. Grottaglie market on Thursday morning is good for clothes. At the far end of the market there are tables of clothes, a bit like a jumble sale, and you can pick up some designer bargins here for just a few Euros. Wear a swimsuit and a brave face if you want to try things on as there are no changing rooms.
More than you can shake a stick at in the trulli town of Alberobello and Centro Storico in Ostuni
There is an Auchan near Mesagne (30 mins drive) on the Brindisi to Taranto motorway and another mall just outside Brindisi (40 mins drive) on the same road. There is a good selection of shops at both.
All the local town have an abundance of these during the summer months and some nights you can stand on the roof terrace and watch a succession of distant firework displays from all directions. The events are not very well publicised and often only at short notice
PLACES TO GO ( a small selection)
North Coast
Beaches: Torre Guaceto ( a nature reserve, no cafes or kiosks so you will need to take everything with you, Pantanagianni, Egnazia (just the Savelletri side of Egnazia). The beach with the young buzz, loud bars, pizzeria and fish restaurant is Lido di Bosca Verde near Pilone.
Octopus BBQ (and other seafood's)-La Rotunda: Between Torre Canne and Savelletri
Towns: Villanova: a little fishing port. Polignano Al Mare (perched on cliffs). Trani and Monopoli have interesting small harbours, Otranto has an unusual church with skulls and a tree of life in the floor.
The big towns of Bari and Brindisi have extensive port areas and old centres. They are both ferry ports.
South Coast
Beaches: take your pick anywhere between San Pietro di Bevagna and Campomarina (between Porto Caesareo and Taranto)
Taranto has an large port are and old centre and extensive mussel beds.
Ostuni, and Ceglie with their medieval Centro Storicos are confusion of winding streets and alleys. Ostuni also has impressive views away to the sea and is the more cosmopolitan of the 2 towns. But Ceglie has a more 'real' Italian feel.
Carovigno has an old centre with a small castle that has a very picturesque courtyard. There are tours round the castle (last one at 6pm).
Lecce, named Florence of the south by the Lecce tourist board which may be stretching it a bit but does have lots of interesting and unusual buildings: can be reached by train from Ceglie which makes for a nice day out. In the other direction the train goes to Martina Franca.
Oria, good castle, museum, gardens and surrounding old town, Vecchia Oria is a good seafood restaurant
Matera (Sassi), a semi deserted town of cave dwellings. The location for Mel Gibson's film The Passion Of Christ
Alberobello, a completely unique town made almost entirely of trulli. A must even though it is very touristy.
Grotte di Castellano, spectacular limestone caves, Italy's longest cave system.
We had careers in music and travel and as such had been to many places and sampled a wonderful variety of accommodations, food and cultures. We have always enjoyed entertaining and wanted to 'bring home' from our journeys the the most appealing experiences and incorporate them into a place where friends and family could come and have great time and socialise as well as relax and recharge if required.
Peter Hawkins purchased this villa in 2006
We visited Puglia several times before buying this property as we were helping a friend renovate a villa they had bought here. We fell in love with the area, the food, the wine, the weather and the people. The kids had left home so we thought what the heck and started house hunting. After weeks of being driven around the countryside by Schumacher wannabe estate agents and looking at dingy (but very pretty) trulli we were losing the will to live. Then last stop on a blustery December day we came up the pine-flanked drive of Bellavista, There at the end we found an L-shaped vila with a large veranda and an adjacent barn. Our interest was pricked. A tour of the land revealed a series of terrace going up a hill with interesting paths and views, a old trullo and pizza oven and grotto that had been sealed on the orders of the town hall to prevent its use for nefarious activities. The outside tour finished on the flat roof of the barn and we were transfixed by the views. The vast expanse of olive trees that were swaying in the breeze covered the undulating countryside like a living green sea. Here and there hilltop towns and trulli cones broke the surface. Inside the voluminous barn was ripe for conversion and the 3 bedroom villa looked like splendid accommodation for visitors. The property was owned by a doctor who had taken up a new position in Rome and within a month it was ours. The barn was converted into a 1 bed ensuite house with a voluminous open plan living space (we like lots of entertaining space). The villa was renovated to create 3 ensuite bedrooms with a kitchen and a veranda suitable to use as a lounge and dining area. At the back we built a large pool, volleyball court and boules court. The old cisterna for the trullo became a plunge pool and the pizza oven was refurbished and fired up. We created lots of different areas on the land and around the building where people could chill and contemplate or gather together to enjoy each others company.
The land and views are hard to better. Dry-stone terraces with olive, almond, pine, oak, fig, pomegranate and prickly pear have vistas reaching away to the sea. In the morning when the sun is low cruise ships can often be seen making there way up and down the coast. The hammock at the top of the hill is close to heaven in more ways than one and there are seats and sun beds and futons set out in various locations across the property that suit different times of day, different size groups of people and different moods. There are also 4 separate dining locations including one by the pizza oven which also has a stone fire-pit for evenings round the 'camp fire'.
Having 2 separate buildings each with its own kitchen, dining and lounging areas gives the kind of flexibility not found in many other properties. When we have friends staying in the villa they can sort their own breakfast and we can take it in turns to cook lunch or dinner. Or if our kids turn up with a bunch of mates we can retire to the house while they can carry on doing their own thing without feeling they are disturbing us. Our guests have included groups of old school friends having reunions, families with grand parents (children in the villa, parents and grand parents in the house), two separate friendly families on holiday together each with their own property. Many visitors come with sight-seeing plans but find they hardly leave the campus as there is so much to keep them occupied and so many changes of scenery.
Only 10 min away is Ostuni, also known as the White City, a classic ancient Italian hill town with narrow cobblestone streets curved stairways and spectacular views over the Adriatic coastline. A great selection of restaurants, bars, antique shops and a 15th-century Gothic cathedral. The heel is only 30km wide making it easy to explore both coastlines of the Ionian and the Adriatic seas. The transparent sea with sandy beaches and rocky coves and the hillsides sweeping down in a glorious green spectrum create a cloak of olive groves and vineyards. Also within easy reach is Alberobello, the spectacularly bizarre Trulli Town, historic hilltop towns of Locorotondo and Martina Franca with its excellent shopping. Slightly further a field is Lecce, the 'Florence of the south' and the picturesque fishing harbour of Monopoli with it excellent seafood, Matera with its cave dwellings, Grotte di Castellana Italy's largest cave system and romantic Polignano al Mare on the Adriatic cliffs.

Classified as a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia, cluster headache is characterized by recurrent short-lived excruciating pain attacks, which are concurrent with autonomic signs. These clinical features have led to the assumption that cluster headache's pathophysiology involves central nervous system structures, including the hypothalamus. In the past decade, neuroimaging studies have confirmed such clinically derived theory by uncovering in vivo neuronal changes located in the inferior posterior hypothalamus. Using a variety of neuroimaging techniques (functional [eg, functional MRI], biochemical [eg, magnetic resonance spectroscopy], and structural [eg, morphometry]) in patients with cluster headache, we are making improvements in our understanding of the role of the brain in this disorder. This article summarizes neuroimaging findings in cluster headache patients, describing neuronal changes that occur during attacks and remission, as well as during hypothalamic stimulation.

RE: Find A Grave Correction: Joseph Harris
Thanks for the reply.
Mr Harris' story is amazing and as a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, I am very interested in identifying patriots who served in various ways during the founding of our country. I had hoped to find a stone, but as you say, this poor old cemetery is basically an empty field.
If you turn up any additional info in your research, I would certainly appreciate a nudge!
Thanks again,

Why does Sara Macaulay's memorial spelled Mccaulay.
I am not complaining but am very curious as to why you chose to spell the name this way. It its just a typo no problem but If you have copied from a document that spells it different that is what I am interested in.
The tomb stone photo that has now been added to the memorial has the spelling as Macaulay. It will make a difference as to which family She gets included with.
Thank you for the entry and your understanding on this query

Bill and I were roommates in Monmouth College, West Long Branch,NJ. He was a great guy, always up for fun. I lost track of him and ask if you know the circumstances of his death. Thanks for creating his memorial.

Hazard Hall
Cliff, thanor updating Hazard Hall.
Don't forget I had updates for his wife where I used the new Edit feature. If you are not familiar wiht that, you go to your home page, where you see this message. Look at the top, and you should see a goup of tabs. On the left side you will see 2 tabs labeled:
Profile, Messags.
On the right you will see 3:
Edits, Contributor Tools, Edit my profile.
The one labeled edits is what is new. If someone has sent you a new edit request edit will be labeled something like "Edit(#)" where # is the number of updates you have received. So if you were to see "Edits(2)" means you have two new update requests...
Anyway, if you click on the tab, then you see what the requests are. If you click accept, then the system makes the updates for you..
Anyway, in the case of Mary Hall, you should see 2: One to link her to Hazard her husband, the other to include her maiden name.
Let me know if you have questions.
Thanks again for updating Hazard's bio.

Ah, no. Like is ubiquitous in the speech I am trying to describe. I'll try to give you an example.
"So, like, we went to this totally like random dive bar on Main Street? And like, I was all like, isn't this where Sasha and Greg hooked up?

I think that's a pretty reasonable representation of what passes for social conversation around here. And even though the topic is sorority girl speak, everyone does it. It's infectious. I often find myself saying "no, we didn't like look at the motherboard, we looked at the motherboard."
I seriously think you are missing the joke. I know it doesn't work that way.
What I am saying is that in search of a filler, they choose a word that accurate reflects their world view.
It's a cynical approach, but it's better than the alternative (the alternative being that people who attend the largest public school in my state and one of the highest-regarded engineering programs in the country cannot express themselves coherently).
>You don't really hear that much anymore.
You obviously do not live in a predominately college town. Here in Blacksburg we have a permanent population of around 15,000 and a student population of 35,000. For nine months out of the year, I marvel at how Frank Zappa has pulled off the longest troll in the history of music -- spreading that god-awful dialect all the way out East so that even 30 years after the song, I'm surrounded by what started as an attempt of a daughter to cozy up to her dad by making fun of stupid people from Encino.
If the girls talk like airheads, then the guys here talk like wanna-be thugs. Even at an engineering school, I am subjected daily to "Yeah, but uh, y'know I was like... whaaaaaaat?" But that's a whole other topic. First, let's get rid of the word "like". I am convinced that this generation is so disaffected and removed from everything that nothing is real to them anymore. They don't want a cup of coffee; they ask "can I just get like, a cup of coffee?" They didn't go see the movie 3 times, they saw it "like, 3 times". Nothing is real or concrete to them.
Bullshit meter... in the red.

Not really law, but convention.
One of the reasons that this has taken so long to be placed into action is how inefficient a system this will become. No one is required to register a particular tld. There are more rules keeping registrants out of tlds or forcing them to give up their current tld than there are forcing registrants to adopt a particular tld. Tlds were never meant to be implemented as a way to filter content.
Also, currently successful sexually themed sites are very unlikely to forego brand recognition. Why should mostviewedsite.com switch to mostviewedsite.xxx when the
It seems to me that the only winners in this are the registrars and the certifying authority. I doubt little else will change.
Really? Because, you know, multiple other sources say that Zuckerberg started the prototype in September of 2003, and what we know as Facebook was launched in February of 2004.
If I recall rightIy, my vt.edu email address allowed me to register sometime in late 2004 or early 2005. On campus, it was starting to generate a lot of buzz as a great tool to bring lots of people together on short notice.
Your response is typical of what I was talking about though -- memory is a strange and elastic thing. You've been on Facebook for so long it feels like it's been 8 years, but it hasn't, and it really couldn't possibly have been.
Well, to play devil's advocate (to AC, sigh):
He could have been on Facebook in 2004, provided (as you mention) that he was in an Ivy League school. I am fairly certain that by the end of 2004, he could have had a Facebook with just a
Then again, people could have their dates all screwed up. The word "reportedly" plays strong in the sentence you quote. How many people have you met in, for example, December of 2007 that if asked you'd say you've known for at least four years? Similarly "not long after" is rather ambiguous. Depending on what your perception is of "a long time" that could be a few days, months, or even right at or a little over a year.
Control scheme change is even more apparent in the GTA3 series. GTA3 itself was obviously made for the PC first and then for console; the control scheme is pretty evenly matched whichever platform you choose. But then when you get into VC, everything on the PC side is ok until you hit the first mission for Avery Carrington (flying the toy helicopter) rather early in the game. Missing that right analog stick to control your clockwise/counterclockwise motion makes that mission incredibly difficult to pull off on a PC, and despite many frustrating hours of effort I could not satisfactorily configure a Xbox 360 controller for the PC to replicate the console controls. Lastly, when you get to SA you are practically stopped at the first Cesar mission (where you have to compete in the hydraulic car hop) because the numkeys don't map like the right analog stick does. Similarly, riding a motorcycle in VC or SA loses some finesse because you can't lean forward or back like you can via the left analog stick using just the keyboard. Considering these games span from ~2001 through to ~2004 I'd say it was a rather rapid sea change.
For those of you who have found otherwise, please let me know where you got your controller bindings (preferably for the 360 controller), because my laptop can outperform the heck out of my 360 visually.
I came to say this, too. I love the scrobbling end of things.
Discovery has been so-so, but definite big winners when it got it dead on.
