The game was somehow still balanced at 0-0. The opposition of the day, Arsenal, had dominated possession and had Newcastle pinned up against their goal for the entirety of the first half.
With both front men seriously short of match fitness Newcastle lacked any attacking presence or ability to break away – it was surely only a matter of time before the home side cracked under the visitors' increasing pressure. At 46 minutes Gabriel Obertan was summoned from the bench and replaced Ba to play behind the remaining striker, Shola Ameobi. All of a sudden NUFC had an outlet, a lighting quick release to the pressure – a whole new dimension.
His purchase only four days earlier had sparked much debate – his reputed potential as a former student of the world famous Clairefontaine academy in France was without question, but a largely unconvincing and uninvolved spell in his previous employment at Manchester United echoed the hallmarks of the archetypical prodigal footballer who simply failed to 'make it'.
His introduction into the Arsenal game went some way to buoy the mood of those unconvinced and underwhelmed – after a season of predominantly slow moving, set piece based football NUFC now appeared to have blistering pace on the ground to form the kind of white-knuckle counter attacks that had not been seen since the Sir Bobby Robson days.
It's fair to say it hasn't been all so positive since.
The exit of Joey Barton along with Ryan Taylor carving out a covering role at left back meant that Obertan was now not only NUFC's first choice at right midfield, the role was almost exclusively his. This was the perfect scenario for Gabriel – in two seasons at Manchester United he had been afforded a grand total of 446 minutes first team playing time (less than five games worth), but now he was a fixture in the team without the pressure of rejection upon a patchy performance.
Thrust into the mix without the reassurance of consistency to call upon, his form since has been understandably patchy, although he has managed to show flashes of the kind of attacking prowess that attracted NUFC to him in the first place in an assist wielding performance at Stoke followed by an identical contribution in the boxing day win over Bolton.
However, with Jonas Guiterrez preoccupied covering the vulnerable left back position Newcastle have looked increasingly to Obertan's right flank to create the much needed width for their predominant 442 formation. When out of form it showed patently and the frustrations of some came quickly to the surface – a notable low being sarcastically applauded off the field after a fruitless performance against Wigan. It was his ninth game.
His early season air of optimism has disappeared without trace.
Gabriel, going forward…
"Obertan broke through to the Bordeaux side in '06. He was only used as a sub – but there were signs of definite talent. His ability on the ball and dangerous slalom runs were very eye catching.
The second season failed to see him progress as everyone had hoped and a loan move to Lorient didn't seem to benefit either party. The ability he first showed gave reason to be excited, it just never developed". Andrew Gibney – French Football weekly.
First and foremost Gabriel needs to continue playing if we are stand a chance of him reaching his potential. Despite this now being his sixth year in professional football, he has managed just 39 starts in all competitions, at all clubs – 16 of those have been at NUFC. Furthermore, this is the first time those starts have been in consecutive sequence of any reasonable length of time. Lack of reasonable competitive playing time will seriously hinder any player's development.
"Our fans need to be patient with him as I and the staff need to be at times because we know what he can do". Alan Pardew – December '11.
And surely there is talent there to develop. Although his flashes of attacking threat have been short lived, he has crucially shown it enough to know he is capable of it – to state his plus points to be merely a fluke would be very disingenuous. Continuous playing time will undoubtedly provide the best opportunity for this to surface, as will savvy coaching. But Gabriel himself is not devoid of responsibility and must show an equal desire to develop and succeed.
But are NUFC missing a trick?
"Because he is so quick the crowd think he can just beat the full-back by racing him on the outside all the time but he can't do that, he'd be too one-dimensional". Alan Pardew – December '11.
Whilst appreciating the sentiment of wanting to produce a more rounded player, is it perhaps not in both NUFC's and Obertan's best interests that he develops (and also improves his confidence) by concentrating on his ability to create from his wide position by using his near untouchable pace as a huge advantage? After all, a standard 442 layout will predominantly look for the right sided midfielder to primarily provide an attacking outlet and to create goal scoring chances.
Indeed, are we missing the point entirely and not playing Obertan in the most effective position for his obvious pace and dribbling ability? Gabriel has, on a number of occasions shown the 'slalom dribble', coming in from the right but usually being pressed out when shown onto his left foot. Instead, imagine him playing on the left side of a 433, even 442, using his pace and cutting inside onto his favoured right with the space opened up from his burst of acceleration… This of course does not mean his instant transformation into Cristiano Ronaldo, but perhaps worth a try at in a low risk fixture.
For now…
"Of course I have a point to prove, If I had stayed with Manchester United, I think I would have made it, but I don't know how long it would have taken.
I didn't want to spend another two years learning and fighting for just a few minutes on the pitch here and there…but I needed to play and here at Newcastle it's a great opportunity". Gabriel Obertan – August '11.
In the short term, seeing a literal manifestation on the field of the positive attitude he showed in his press conference upon singing (above) would do Gabriel the world of good. Although not one for lack of work-rate, his lack of aggression when attacking – even when the situation is tailor made for him – certainly limits his output and lets the opposition full-back grow in confidence when he could easily be a ball of nerves.
Also, for the first time this season his place appears under a very real threat, with both Ryan Taylor and Hatem Ben Arfa excelling in their very short appearances at right midfield – whether Gabriel can up his game quickly to force the competition away, or whether Alan Pardew with continue to consider Obertan as his first choice regardless remains to be seen.
The undoubted physical attributes are there – the technical attributes and mental attributes can be learned. But only through patience, practice and positivity…

A bunch of us on the Guitar Tribe were wondering who is this Estaban guy who sells acoustic guitars on QVC. Supposedly he used to be some great player - taught by Segovia - until the guy got hit by a drunk driver, lost use of BOTH hands (damn...) then ten years later regained use of his hands and is selling guitars on QVC.
Anyone actually ever heard of him outside of QVC?
Anyone actually ever heard of him outside of QVC?
posted by:
I am always very skeptical of people who I have never heard of Selling Thier Wares. He says that you can get a guitar for a few hundred bucks that plays like a $5000 guitar...Ya Right...The Reverend
I think he's not real. QVC had him Computer Generated.
Esteban should be bowed to by all who think they've payes dues for their art.
Just kidding. No clue whatsoever. But I tell ya after a night of drinking he's the funniest thing on tv
Late Night with Esteban?
most guitarists could have all their limbs severed and still play better than he does. studied with segovia? not! this guy is a tired-ass non-playin'
white-ass, pathalogical lyin'-ass motherfucker with a fake spanish name and a line of some of the world's shittiest guitars. other than that he seems ok.
I think estaban has been outdone - by the dude that plays acoustic with a blender (has some plastic spinning around that hits the strings)
I think I've seen infomercials...
In acoustics even more than electrics you get what you pay for. And as with anything play with it first. If it sounds good buy it. As your ear develops the definition of good will require a more expensive guitar.
I used to go see him play in Scottsdale, AZ at The Hyatt @ Gainey Ranch. He's, not surprisingly, a great player. I hadn't heard that he was taught by Segovia or lost use of his hands at some point.
Yeah, me too -- the Hyatt in Scottsdale: That's the guy. Does he still play there? I've never seen him on QVC. What does he do on the shopping channel?
On QVC Esteban sells this "How to play guitar" package. Video, books, guitar. It's a really basic course and a VERY basic acoustic classical; as soon as you know the basics your next step would be to get a better guitar and use the infomercial one for a planter.
Esteban lives down here in the Phoenix area. He's not AWFUL but you're known more for selling things than for how good you are you have to wonder. People think he's great because he's been on Television, and not necessarily because they're wildly proficient players.
His Segovia credentials don't mean anything. I know lots of people who've been trained on sitar by Ravi Shankar. That doesn't mean they're as good as Ravi Shankar. Shit, NOBODY'S as good as Ravi Shankar. I doubt there will ever be another Segovia, either.
Unsu...Ravi's daughter, Anoushka, is pretty d**m good. My girlfriend and I saw them a few months ago in Philly. (Awsome... by-the-way.)
Anyone seen his Geico commercial?
Well, i guess a guy's got to make a living somehow.
He obviously isnt doing so playing gigs or making records
I used to hear him play at the Hyatt in Phoenix every time I was there -- years and years ago - and there were always huge crowds to listen and he was absolutely great. Now I don't know anything about hand injuries that may have come later, but I can tell you that in the early 90s he was totally world-class.
Regrettably, (?) I've never seen QVC.
His infomercial was ALL OVER cable this morning so I watched some of it. And as a person who used to write infomercials (for which I am truly, deeply sorry), I can safely say that it's one of the most insincere grabs for a buck I've ever seen.
Esteban's playing on the show is, for all intents and purposes, rather second-rate and at times very ham-handed. I was kinda surprised that they were letting him get away with some of the sloppy guitar playing he gets away with.
Here's where I turned it off: he actually had the gall to imply that what made the guitar you get a true quality guitar was that "unlike many guitars," (oh yeah? Name one) this guitar allowed you to play harmonics on THREE DIFFERENT FRETS! 12 , 7, AND 5!
Is there a guitar out there that DOESN'T do that? I haven't found it...
It would also be nice if Estaban looked like he gave a shit about actually being there, and if they'd hired a host that looked like she knew what she was talking about...
Oh geez...
Funny stuff
Pretty soon the sound hole will be "especially" made for that cheapo guitar
"Just look at this guitar, it has strings, you can strum this guitar. Unlike other guitars, you can play real life chords. Just look at this guitar"
I know someone who actually bought a guitar off of the Estaban ad. It's your average $99 guitar. OK sound, hard to keep in tune, bad intonation... I've never watched a guitar instruction video, so I have no idea how helpful Estaban's input would be to a novice... I would also agree that the chick on the infomercial is pretty dopey.
so-called "Guitar legend" Esteban was stripped of his legendary status this week when it was discovered that he is an entirely fictional character created specifically to sell pressboard guitars in infomercials.
Allan Holdsworth, guitar legend and president of "Real Guitar Legends For Truth" released a statement on Monday calling for the immediate cessation of all applications of the appellation "Guitar legend" to the television character known as "Esteban". According to the statement, "Esteban is a fictional character created by L.A. session guitarist Dan Fernaueu for the express purpose of marketing a cheap, poorly constructed guitar-like instrument on the Home Shopping Channel."
The scandal intensified when the Recording Academy revealed that claims that "Esteban" had won "several Grammys" were false.
These charges come on the heels of last month's statement from the Musical Instrument Manufacturers Association that the "Esteban" guitar could not, in fact, be classified as an actual guitar due to the fact that it is constructed out of reclaimed materials such as discarded telephone directories and medical waste. The MIMA demanded that the instrument be classified as a toy
I have no idea if his QVC guitars are ligit or garbage but I do know he has a shop/gallery in Santa Fe New Mexico. I also have pictures of him and his daughter playing at the Plaza in Santa Fe in the summer of 2007. I don't play myself but I know good sound when I hear it. Whether it was him or someone posing as him, they know how to play.
I have heard of him no I have never seen him on QVC , But I did buy 10 DVD lessons from Ebay for 35.00 as far as his guitars I don't know, I just bought a basic Martin, I never learned a chord before so I'm going to see if this will work, and if it does I will up grade to a Gibson JS-200, no need to spend a big chunck of change on one before I know if I want to play.

GARY Waddock wants answers from James Constable and Tom Newey about their futures by the end of this week.
The pair were the only players out of contract at Oxford United this summer to be offered new deals last week.
They have spent the weekend considering the terms and Waddock wants a resolution in the next few days so both parties know where they stand.
The U's head coach said: "Players will want to consider their options, which is fair enough.
"But I also have to consider what I need to do here for this club.
"If you allow it to drag on through the summer it doesn't help anybody and I would like a quick answer.
"They either want to be a part of it, or they don't, but saying that I want both of the players here."
Along with captain Jake Wright, who had an additional season clause activated by the club, Constable was the highest-profile United player out of contract this summer.
The 29-year-old is the longest-serving member of the squad, has been their top-scorer for the last six seasons and is just two goals away from becoming their all-time top marksman.
Newey was only signed last summer, but was United's first choice left back all season, making 47 starts in all competitions.
Waddock made it clear the ball was in the players' court and felt the deals were fair.
He said: "In the current climate, the salaries they've been offered are good.
"If you look at any football club now you have to be mindful of the figures you are banding about.
"It's up to the players whether they want to be a part of it.
"We've offered them contracts because we want them here, it's as simple as that."

Token-tell me about your tomatoes :-)
I saw them over on the other side and noticed how close your lights were, which makes me wonder of mine should also be that close! What I have is a 55 gal aquarium with 30 seedlings in it. I just used a shop light, so it's all the way up at the top of the aquarium. They're about 15 in from the light and have not gotten their true leaves yet so their still itty bitty.
Also what types did you get? I would love to try some of the more exotic types, but I think I'm too far north!
Let's see...
These 6 varieties are the ones in the photo under lights.
Beefsteak: Red. 12-16 oz fruit. Indeterminate. 60-90 DTM. Great for slicing and sandwhiches.
Rutgers: Red. 6 oz fruit. Determinate. 75 DTM. For canning. Abundant supply.
San Marzano: Red. 4 oz fruit. Indeterminate. 85 DTM. Best choice for sauces and canning. A Roma style tomato.
Bursztyn: Orange. 8-12 oz fruit. Indeterminate. 69-85 DTM. Slicing, salads, and canning.
Green Zebra: Green with yellow stripes. 6 oz fruit. Indeterminate. 78 DTM. Tart and acidic. Should be good for salads and canning.
Hawaiian Pineapple: Yellow-Orange. 12-16 oz fruits. Indeterminate. 93 DTM. Very sweet.
I've grown beefsteak and San Marzano before. The other 4 are new to me.
I sowed 12 kinds of cherry tomatoes today. I used 9oz cups and put at least 3 seeds in each cup. I sowed 3 cups of each just to make sure I have enough to give away. I'll keep one of each for myself.
Brown Berry Cherry
Black Cherry
Yellow Pear
Italian Cherry Red
Sweet 100
Large Red Cherry
Black Stripe Cherry
Swander Cherry
Purple Cherry
Jet Star
When I sowed the first ones, I did those indoors. I used a shoebox plastic container and used bottom heat to germinate them within a couple days.
After they germinated, I transplanted them to individual 9oz cups. I didn't wait for the second leaves. I buried them almost to the bottom of the leaves and set them under lights.
To keep them short and reduce the leggy problems I've had, I put the lights as close as possible without touching. In this picture, they're almost too close. But I'll be moving them in and out of doors for the next week or two. I need to free up the space, and it's going to be really nice here for at least a week. I'll bring them back inside at night.
Yes, I know I can wintersow in my area and I did that with the cherry varieties, but I love tomatoes. I want to have as many as I can as early as I can for as long as I can. I'll even take cuttings during the growing season to increase my harvest once I decide which ones I like the best.
On the light issue, I actually have 2 4' shop lights over that shelf. I've found that one will work, but two gives me much stockier plants. If you don't have the space, line the inside of the aquarium with aluminum foil. That will reflect the light back and keep the plants happy. Just remember to make sure they have fresh air. I also have a fan sitting at the end of the rack on low.
Also, once you get a little growth on them, you can do a technique called supercropping. You take the stem and gently squeeze it between two fingers. You just want to "crush" the stem enough that the plant has to regenerate itself before it can start growing again. It's like muscle building for your plants. It's really good when you are trying to start indoors and there's a long time between plant out and germination.
Aside from that, I've fertilized once, about a week after I potted them into cups. I'll fertilize again Sunday and pot them up into larger cups in another week. Bury the whole stem and it will grow more roots. More roots means more tomatoes and better tasting ones.
My dad actually plants his on their side. They form huge roots all along the buried stem and survive the SC Zone 8 summers with little extra water.
Token do you ever get a white powdery mold on the soil of your tomatoes. I discovered I have it when I came home last night and I am guessing it is because I water in the evening. but I dont have time to do it in the mornings before I go to work.I dont know if I should be worried about this affecting the health of my plants or the fruit. Is there a way to get rid of it?
Do you bottom water or water from the top? I have some seedlings in the basement that have some whitish mold on the soil because I was lazy and watered from the top. Just add a little Hydrogen peroxide to your water. Or weak chamomile tea. That should get rid of it. And always bottom water, which I don't always do either.
Since I run my lights 24/7, they don't care when I water, but I always try to make sure the soil is almost dry before watering. Even with a fan, I only water every 3-4 days right now.
I put everything outside this morning. Gonna give them a few days of in and out before I pot up to a larger cup. Seems the larger cups are growing much faster, but I really want to keep them small for now. Less chance of breakage.
It should. Since you have limited space, it will keep their heights down. There's a thread on the tomato forum where someone is taking supercropping to an extreme.
I found it when I was researching the cloning machine I made. Seems cannabis growers have all the best methods. LOL
thanks Token, I will try that. I dont bottom water because they are in flats and it seems a lot of trouble to get the water into the liners they sit in but maybe I will put out the effort. I read somewhere that they should have 10 hours of bright light with followed by a period of darkness or they will bolt so I turn the light off at night. but they have just been watered when the lights go off. I should quit that job it is interfering with all of my hobbies! haha
I wanted to take mine out today but I am afraid the wind is to strong.
Token-"someone' that I know just ordered the cannabis bible and I couldn't believe how complicated it could get! But there were some really cool things in there also, like lining the inside of a little matchbox with sand paper to scarify seeds.
You can always reverse the timing of the lights. Leave them on during the night instead of during the day?
You can also get "Daisy Tray". That's what I have all the cups in. I just sit the whole thing in a sterlite container with about 1" of water in it. The soil wicks it up into the containers.
reverse the timing... Oh ... why didnt I think of that??? (headsmack) can we say ...we todd it!!! :)
aaaannnddd most of my seed trays are already in those daisy trays and they are sitting in the solid trays. So I could to that too. Is there anything you have not already figured out?
LOL. There is one thing. Where did I put that pack of lavender seeds when they came in the mail last September? I bought the collection from Park Seeds. I know they arrived. Now I can't find them.
Most of my knowledge is based on many late nights online reading GardenWeb starting last September. I've probably read every thread in this forum and the seed starting forum. I spent way too much on dead plants last year. I wasn't going to make that mistake again. I won't be buying anything this year. Unless it's a bright red crepe myrtle.
You will probably run across those seeds in a strange spot that you would never think to look on purpose. Like the time I lost my debit card and freaked out for 3 days ... finally at work I picked up the phone book to call the bank and there it was stuck in the yellow pages. Dont have a clue why. haha Now at work every time I say I cant find something my co-workers ask me if I have checked the phone book! haha maybe you should check the phone book! lol

Lack of inspection since 1988 is cited as one key factor in the 2012 explosion of a gas pipeline in Sissonville, W.Va., according to a report by the National Transportation Safety Board. The report attributed the rupture and subsequent explosion to deteriorated coating and ineffective cathodic protection on the pipe's exterior. Also contributing to the magnitude of the disaster was a lack of data and control features that delayed the shutoff of gas to the area. In addition, corrosion was found in nearby pipes in 2009, but "the discovery did not prompt an inspection of the line in question when mitigation efforts were considered."

Yes , I'm looking to go to college, but I will not give the school that I'm attending to the world . But I do think everyone should take advantage of the Tennessee promise scholarship and get there education .
What influences me the most is the people that support me. When we are talking about school it's really myself because I know that I need to get the work done. My fans and supporters is like the gas in my car when it comes to music because without them I can't keep going and succeeding . I only can do so much by myself but when you have people pushing you and supporting you have no worries . Shout out to Team Lil Bre .
If you are girl you mite catch BreBola , if you don't know what BreBola is it's this thing that my loyal fans made up .When you watch me for to long and after wards you just can't stop talking about me that means you caught BreBola. I bet if you go to a concert performance you will catch it . But if you are a boy you mite notice that I'm a very funny guy to be around because I'm always making jokes if I'm not making music .
I'm involved in plenty but I want to get more involved. I help the community in many ways by setting a image that you don't see every teen setting . I stand for all young dream chasers in Nashville TN.
It was A Blessing to get on that stage . One thing that I've noticed is that I'm always the youngest or the closes to youngest in the building but that's not a problem to me . It's like living a dream ever time I hit the big stages . I bet if you didn't know me before you came to the event you left the event with my name in your head . But it feels wonderful to accomplish a lot of things in Nashville at a young age but that's not my goal , my goal is to make the same impact that I'm making now in my city to happen in every city .
The truth is that the difference between #TeamLilBre and any other team is that Everyone in Team Lil Bre sticks together . But the thing with me and my fans is that I truly appreciate them because with out them it's no me . Every single thing that I do I represent them . My smile , my award nominations , my songs on radios , me performing on huge stages is all because of them . And I understand that I need them as much as they love me and that's why Team Lil Bre is on top. And now it's no longer about me it's about them . I'm doing it because they believe in me.
I dropped Two Mixtape's on Spinrilla.com last year . The first one was back in March . Dj coop played a big role on that tape and decided to help me with my first mixtape by hosting it. When "Rehab " dropped it blew up real quick around the city . After time passed many great things started happening for me but a lot of local rap artist was throwing shots at me behind closed doors. They was saying the only reason my mixtape was a success is because Dj coop hosted my mixtape so I wanted to prove them wrong. As I respond in silence I decided to drop Rehab 2 around October last year independently with out a Dj. When I dropped "Rehab 2 " the numbers Out did the numbers from the first mixtape In 3 days and that felt amazing . So now I'm working on my first album "The Last Songs" and I am planning on dropping it on my 18th birthday April 25th . The last songs is really going to give my fans the inside of my life . The "The Last Songs" title Stands for every problem i addressed in this album meaning that I wrote the last song about what ever girl, problem or issue I was or is going through In my life .
I'm Live life in spite of The odds .

Minnesota advanced-practice nurses lobby to remove barrier
DULUTH — Nurses at the top level of their profession can do many of the same things doctors do: diagnose illness, manage treatment, prescribe medications, order tests.
But in Minnesota, the APRNs — advanced-practice registered nurses — can only do so under a signed agreement with a physician. Now, nursing faculty members at the College of St. Scholastica and their students are lobbying on behalf of legislation that would remove that barrier.

yellow and red thunbergia
Over the years, I have encountered mention of grandiflora yellow and grandiflora red. When Google showed seeds for sale, it was always an obsolete web site. Does anyone know where the plants or seeds in these colors can be purchased?
I just bought a T. mysorensis from Zone 9 Tropicals but it appears that they are now out of stock. You can contact Bob and ask when he's going to have more. There's usually a number of nurseries that carry it. Kartuz, Gardino's and Logees all carry it but I don't know if they have it in stock now or not. I honestly wouldn't buy from Logees because I think they are terribly overpriced for the size plants they send. I've never seen seeds available.
Karyn, I thought she meant T. mysorensis, too, but she emailed me that "no", she is talking about a yellow-blooming T. grandiflora and a RED-blooming T. grandiflora. That's why I emailed Matthew - to ask if they really exist - he replied that they indeed do!
I immediately thought of you when I read his response - I thought 'if anyone knows a source for these two vines, it would be you'!!!!! I just hadn't gotten around to emailing you.
I received a direct email from Karyn who said that the colors I am looking for do not exist in grandiflora. Karyn, they do exist. I just emailed Dow seeds who has them on a list dated 2000/2001 but not on a current list. I have seen them listed elsewhere as well but never a current availabilty.
I've never heard of T. grandiflora in any colors besides blue, white and a bluish lavender but there's several T. alatas that come in colors ranging from red, orange, pink, yellow and white. I'm not saying that there's no red or yellow gradifloras but I've never heard of them and I've been growing different varieties of thunbergias for about 10 years.

Oakdale and South San Joaquin irrigation districts postpone start of water deliveries
Late-winter rain has prompted the Oakdale and South San Joaquin irrigation districts to postpone the start of their 2014 deliveries to next week.
Both had planned to begin filling canals Monday, which was somewhat early because of the mostly dry conditions this year, but the recent storms brought a change. OID now plans to start next Monday, and SSJID will follow March 12.
"We pushed it back a week due to the rain we received as of last Friday," OID General Manager Steve Knell said. More rain and snow are possible this week, according to the National Weather Service.
The Modesto and Turlock irrigation districts plan to start deliveries in late March to conserve their supplies, which are tighter than in OID and SSJID. The Merced Irrigation District, which is in even worse shape, has not set a start date but likely will shorten its season.
Storms this time of year do two things: They top off the Sierra Nevada snowpack, which supplies most of the Northern San Joaquin Valley's water, and they slow irrigation demand by moistening the soil.
Despite the recent storms, the central Sierra snowpack is only 37 percent of average, the California Department of Water Resources reported Monday. And reservoir levels were drawn down to deal with the below-average rain and snow in 2012 and 2013.
The Modesto and Turlock districts plan to deliver a little less than half of the accustomed amount of water to assure that at least some is carried over in Don Pedro Reservoir for 2015. The Merced district faces the prospect of running out of its Lake McClure storage this year. All three plan to increase groundwater pumping, as does OID.
Oakdale and South San Joaquin, which share reservoirs on the Stanislaus River, are in better shape than most districts thanks to strong water rights, adequate storage and past conservation projects. But officials said they are conserving in case next year is dry, too.
The weather service predicted a 70 percent chance of rain in Modesto on Monday night and early today. It sees a strong chance of more rain Wednesday night and Thursday.

Sculptural coffee table
Laura from Kansas City, MO– Verified Buyer
This beautifully shaped bench doubles as a fabulous coffee table. I ordered it in blue and put it outdoors with gray and white furniture where it pulls the color of the swimming pool onto the deck. Great accent!

Aaron from San Francisco, CA– Verified Buyer

Josette from Phoenix, AZ– Verified Buyer
Good quality, great product. I was not sure when I purchased it, but I am sold. I am happy I ordered it.
Perfect to lay bags in in foyer
Taylor from San Francisco, CA– Verified Buyer
I needed something to put purses and messenger bags on that was stylish and so we got this in white. Looks great and high quality for the price, but we don't use as a bench so I can't comment on that. So far no scratches from throwing bags on it so that's good.
lisa hartley from acworth, GA– Verified Buyer– Top 5 Reviewer
This is a Very nice item, good quality, beautiful and attractive. Shipping was very fast and ordering was a cinch. Great job!
Spot On Brand
Don from Austin, TX– Verified Buyer
We use this bench in our fitness studio showers. They are spot on brand for kor180.com. Love the colors.
Adds interest
Julie from Miami, FL– Verified Buyer
I'm using this in the changing room of my fitness studio. It adds a lot of visual interest. The polymer feels a bit flimsy when you sit on them though.
Looks cool - Doesn't feel so good
David Kaye from Boston, MA– Verified Buyer
I expected the bench to be a little bit thicker plastic since it is a bench and it needs to support someone sitting on it. It feels like it warps a little when any weight is on it and I am only about 150 lbs. It does look nice and we'll likely do if you don't plan to use it for sitting often.
OUR SKU # HEL1048Frank Gehry Polymer Bench is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 1018-01, 1018-02, 1018-03, 1018-04, 1018-05, 1018-06, 1018-07, 1018-28

The idea of recognising parentage and inheritance rights for children born after the death of one of their genetic parents has been part of the common law for centuries. However, these provisions have only applied to children en ventre sa mère. In other words, parentage and inheritance rights are bestowed upon those children who are in utero at the time of a parent's death, provided they are subsequently born alive.Read more...

4-year-old TX boy killed in pit bull attack
POSTED: Monday, January 21, 2013 - 1:26pm
UPDATED: Monday, January 21, 2013 - 10:56pm
CONROE, TX (KPRC) — A Texas community is in shock after a pit bull violently killed a 4-year-old boy.
Deputies with the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office were called to a home just west of Conroe Saturday evening after getting a call that Christian Gormanous had been bitten by a pit bull.
Investigators with the Major Crimes Unit learned it happened after the boy climbed a chain link fence into a neighbor's yard. The dog was chained, but investigators said Christian got close enough to be attacked by the dog.
The victim's 9-year-old sister pulled the boy to safety and called for help, officials said.
Christian later died at the hospital.
Neighbors said they've complained about the dog running lose before.
"We called and called the Humane Society, and they don't ever do anything about it," said Michel McDanel, who lives nearby.

I pray for that little boy and his family and the family of the dog that killed him. Why was a 4year old running loose, without adult supervision, giving him enough time to climb over a chain link fence and walk into a yard with a secured dog on a chain? I am not blaming anyone just wondering where the adult supervision of this beautiful little boy was?

2101 Winter St., B11
Houston, TX 77007
Category: Art Galleries
Region: Heights
Chow, a self-taught artist with a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Texas in Austin, has a penchant for the fantastical; her paintings feature a little girl and her rabbit sidekick amid a landscape of fairy imagery. By contrast, Torres taps into the sensual elements of the feminine. Her installation, The Bad Unicorn, features the escapades of a mythical horned creature and a bunny. The result is an investigation of the subconscious that combines the artist's passions for music and movement for a truly seductive experience. By appointment only, Mondays through Fridays. Through August 18. Spacetaker Gallery at Fresh Arts, Studio B11. 2101 Winter Street.
Mondays-Fridays. Starts: July 9. Continues through Aug. 18, 2012

I AGEE PUGGLLEGIRL1008! Think about it everyone. Abortion is, in my beleif and religion, like killing a baby. You are taking away someone's life, even before it started. Even though the sometimes the situation is bad and it seems to be the best option, it's not. Everyone is born into this world for a reason, but you just took that chilld's life. I agree with Romney on this one. Sorry to anyone who feels greatly offended, but I do believe abortion is wrong.
by alexia_directioner<3 on 10/31/2012 12:46:52 AM
Okay, calm down people. I don't think either of the two are any great. I don't know much about Romney, but Obama is taking away religous freedom and is letting people live off of other's money. And GL, don't think ur NOT trying to press a political view on ur viewers.
by dancethenightaway on 10/27/2012 6:41:03 PM
Wow, I have to really think about this one, but I don't think it will be good.
Our teacher talked about both candidates equally but one thing she said, if anyone ever says, this guy is going to take away your freedom or this guy is going to take away your rights, run as far away from people like that because they are close minded. I think she said it because one person cant force and take away anything from you. I think she is right.
by fashionqn on 10/26/2012 5:45:34 PM
Everyone has an opinion, and we need to be respectful of other peoples' opinions. So it doesn't matter that GL put up something supporting Obama cuz they were respectful of Romney!!
by genieinabottle on 10/26/2012 4:49:49 PM
I definitely agree with Pugglegirl 1008 and hifroyo. I am against any abortion, and don't think Romney will be in any way restricting rights that are important for us to have. I kind of like the song, but not in this context. I think GL was not wise is putting something on their website that so obviously supports Obama, unless they are going to find something that supports Romney, too. I believe that Romney is definitely the better chioce; Obama will most likely only get our country in more trouble and get us in deeper dept. Oh, and I AM a teen girl.
by ceahorse on 10/26/2012 8:04:50 AM
Personally I think repealing the law is a good idea. I am against abortion of any sort. I feel that planned parenthood is a bad program because it provides contraceptives, to young women. Some contraceptives cause cancer! I think that their needs to be a president who can actually fix healthcare for the better, not obamacare.
by Pugglegirl1008 on 10/25/2012 10:44:51 PM
Women do not completely run the world. Men have strengths too. Mitt romney is going to be a true leader. In my opinion obama should not win. He promises so much and gives us so little. If Mitt Romney wins, us women will still have our freedoms. Mitt Romney will turn our country around (in a good way). He will be a great leader, i actually watch presidential debates. Meanwhile you fellow women like myself dont know what your talking about because i doubt all of you are into politics. I also think by you girls saying this that your completely against Mitt and going for Obama. Youre just phemonists. If you have been watching the preaidential debates then you have realized that Obama has been interuptive and sloppy. Obama is just going to ruin our country even more than he already has. In my opinion GO ROMNEY & RYAN!! This is coming from a girls life reader (tween)
by hifroyo on 10/25/2012 9:58:41 PM

Editorial: Tennessee tax on pro athletes affects taxpayers
On its surface, the dispute between players for the Memphis Grizzlies and other NBA teams, and the teams' owners, over Tennessee's professional privilege tax is another of those seemingly endless money disputes between players and owners that have nothing to do with the rest us.
In this case, however, the dispute over the tax has public policy ramifications because revenue from the tax helps pay off the $250 million in bonds issued to build the Grizzlies' home arena, FedExForum.
Under a state law, players for the Grizzlies and every visiting team pay a professional privilege tax of $2,500 per game. The tax is capped at $7,500 per year. In Nashville, players for the National Hockey League's Predators and their visiting opponents pay the same tax. The NHL reimburses its players; the NBA does not.
Memphis Redbirds players and their visiting opponents do not pay the tax. Neither do the Titans players, NASCAR drivers in Bristol, or players for minor league baseball's Nashville Sounds, Knoxville Smokies and Chattanooga Lookouts.
Because the tax only applies to NBA and NHL players there is a legitimate question about fairness.
Considering the astronomical salaries professional athletes are paid, cynics may see the Grizzlies' complaints as much ado about nothing. Is $7,500 a year really that big a financial burden on players earning from some $500,000 to millions of dollars a year?
Proceeds from the tax go directly to the Grizzlies' and Predators' owners. The Grizzlies receive about $1.5 million from NBA players, money team management uses to help lure big-name performing acts to FedExForum.
During a legislative committee hearing in Nashville Thursday, representatives of the players said they want the tax repealed, saying it is unfair and unconstitutional because it is not evenly applied. The teams' owners, of course, want the tax to remain.
It would be easy to say this is just a bunch of greedy owners trying to suck up as many dollars as they can.
But Memphis taxpayers are on the hook for that $250 million in bonds if there are not enough rear ends in FedExForum seats to help pay off the debt. Every filled seat at any event there generates $1.15 toward paying off that debt.
For taxpayers, the dispute over the professional privilege tax is more than another money fight between the owners and players. It is about the Grizzlies using proceeds from the tax to lure big-name acts to fill up those seats, which protects taxpayers.
