A richly imagined and stunningly inventive literary masterpiece of love, art, and betrayal, set in Paris from the late 1920s into the dark years of World War II, that explores the genesis of evil, the unforeseen consequences of love, and the ultimate unreliability of storytelling itself
Emerging from the austerity and deprivation of the Great War, Paris in the 1920s shimmers with excitement, dissipation, and freedom. It is a place of intoxicating ambition, passion, art, and discontent, where louche jazz venues like the Chameleon Club draw expats, artists, libertines, and parvenus looking to indulge their true selves. It is at the Chameleon where the striking Lou Villars, an extraordinary athlete and scandalous cross-dressing lesbian, finds refuge among the club's loyal patrons, including rising Hungarian photographer Gabor Tsenyi, socialite and art patron Baroness Lily de Rossignol; and caustic American writer Lionel Maine.
As the years pass, their fortunes—and the world itself—evolve. Lou falls desperately in love and finds success as a racecar driver. Gabor builds his reputation with startlingly vivid and imaginative photographs, including a haunting portrait of Lou and her lover, which will resonate through all their lives. As the exuberant 20s give way to the Depression of the 30s, Lou experiences another metamorphosis—sparked by tumultuous events—that will warp her earnest desire for love and approval into something far more sinister: collaboration with the Nazis.
Told in a kaleidoscope of voices that circle around the dark star of Lou Villars, Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 ($26.99) evokes this incandescent city with brio, humor, and intimacy. Exploring a turbulent time defined by terror, bravery, and difficult moral choices, it raises critical questions about truth and memory and the nature of storytelling itself. A brilliant work of fiction and a mesmerizing read, it is Francine Prose's finest novel yet.
Francine Prose is the author of twenty works of fiction. Her novel A Changed Man won the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and Blue Angel was a finalist for the National Book Award. Her most recent works of nonfiction include the highly acclaimed Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife, and the New York Times bestseller Reading Like a Writer. The recipient of numerous grants and honors, including a Guggenheim and a Fulbright, a Director's Fellow at the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library, Prose is a former president of PEN American Center, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The Dude's Hollywood Debut
October 12, 2009 —
On October 12, WQXR presents the debut concert by Gustavo Dudamel, the 28-year-old music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The program features Mahler's Symphony No. 1 in D Major and the world premiere of City Noir.
On Monday, October 12 at 8 pm, WQXR presents Gustavo Dudamel's much-anticipated debut concert. The 28-year-old is the music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Recorded Thursday, October 8 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, the program features Mahler's Symphony No. 1 in D Major and the world premiere of City Noir, a new work by Pulitzer-prize winning American composer John Adams.
"For all the sheer energy of the music-making, here was a probing, rigorous and richly characterized interpretation, which Mr. Dudamel conducted from memory," New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini wrote of the Mahler performance.
John Adams's City Noir is inspired by the peculiar mood and ambience of "noir" films set in Los Angeles, especially those produced in the late forties and early fifties. The composer writes, "The 'feeling tone' of the newspaper articles, pulp fiction, movies and film music of the era suggested a symphonic work that might view the strange sensibility of 'noir' through the refracted lens of modern orchestral sound and structure." More details on the 30-minute work can be found on Mr. Adams' web site.
'The Dude' Arrives
The arrival of Gustavo Dudamel, widely known as 'The Dude' in music circles, is being greeted with tremendous buzz in the classical music world and beyond. The Venezuelan with the wild mane of curly hair is expected to inspire young audiences with his youthful energy and accomplished resumé. The opening concert won a 10-minute standing ovation and rave reviews from critics.
Gustavo Dudamel is a product of Venezuela's "El Sistema" ("the system"), a visionary music education system which teaches poor children classical music. The son of two musicians, he began his career in music as a violinist before making his way to conducting. He went on to head Venezuela's Simón Bolivar Youth Orchestra and soon captured the attention of many of the world's top maestros, including Claudio Abbado, Simon Rattle, and Esa-Pekka Salonen. He made his U.S. debut in 2005, leading the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl.
Dudamel was courted by major orchestras, including Chicago Symphony and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. He reportedly chose the Los Angeles Philharmonic in part because he and his wife, Eloísa Maturén, felt comfortable in the heavily Hispanic city.
As reported in the LA Times, buses in Los Angeles are plastered with the slogan "Eléctrico Gustavo" and electronic billboards flash the sign "Radiante Gustavo." A vendor outside the Disney Concert Hall was reportedly selling "Dude Dogs" with jalapeño and guacamole.
On October 20, Deutsche Grammophon will release the performance of Mahler's First Symphony on iTunes. In addition, the entire performance will be broadcast on PBS's Great Performances October 21 (check local listings), followed by a U.S. DVD release of the concert on Deutsche Grammophon in late November or early December.
AFP reports the star-studded event had the look of a Hollywood premiere with appearances by Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Sidney Poitier, novelist Judith Krantz, music producer Quincy Jones, and actors Don Johnson, Andy Garcia Rachel Griffiths and Angela Bassett.

"I frequently recommend resources to my clients, so I'm always looking for paper to write on. Tiny Print enabled me to personalize an attractive, professional-looking note-pad for my counseling practice."
"Love this pad. However, it's not as big as I anticipated, but it'll do for writing small notes. I'll need to find a bigger pad for work, which requires lots of notes. The paper quality is amazing and really thick. I'm not worried about the ink bleeding through the pages, which is a huge plus. The design is really cute (I almost don't want to write on it :-) ). Overall a great product, that I plan on purchasing again!"
"Great product. Megan was awesome in helping with the design. I'm looking forward to using them and think that it was a super sweet thought to provide for Mother's Day!"
"This notepad came out excellent! I did change the font on the notepad because it didn't look the best with my name. Glad that it came with that option!"
"Tiny Prints always has the finest quality stationary and the production values are top notch. A fine product for anyone's busy lifestyle."

Everyone that wants to run this fuel please do so ,I am not trying to stop any one from using it . What I do want to do is stop the abortion (arrest of development (as of a part or process) resulting in imperfection) of people killing there engines , fuel pumps , fuel lines etc etc etc from reading post / forums of my friends dads daughters boyfriend used it and made 50 more hp by just adding e85 because they are not fully informed
To the guys that think its a wonder fuel and you like it and want to use it please do so
I never said it was marketed as a performance fuel, did I? The questions bother me a tiny bit, but not enough to religiously bash a fuel based on theoretical numbers alone vs actual real world testing and experience.
You don't kill engines, fuel pumps, fuel lines, etc if the car is set up for E85. I'm not promoting just throwing E85 in a car and tuning for it, I'm promoting its use on properly setup systems. I have multiple friends using it and it's not only dyno numbers that back up it's performance gains.
I appreciate your opinions and insight into the matter, I'm not trying to dismiss anything you say because you make some valid points and I appreciate the input. But I have yet to see first hand of anyone killing any major components just from running E85.

On Worldwild, Pterodactyl basks in watery, mystical sounds that often seem snared from the natural world rather than any sort of humanmade instrument. Haunting gang vocals make the band feel more like a tribe than the trio they are, and the wispy, far off level of their voices gives the sense they're hidden away in some exotic jungle.
"Rising and Shining" is what reveille might sound like if you lived in a paradise. The windy blast of drums and the vibration of guitar riffs provide just enough force to awaken your senses while the shimmering lyrics keep you in a peaceful state. "Share the Shade" combines fast punk rock drums with vocals about waterfalls that slip between Muppet-like harmonies and Deep Forest yodeling. In "Easy Pieces" the sound of underwater echolocation weaves in and out of soft static and chiming bells.
Like fellow Brookly-nites Oneida, whose otherworldly processionals also sound far off, Pterodactyl doesn't rely on catchy pop hooks. That can be refreshing, though the repetitiveness, vocal monotone and lyrical muddiness can just as easily disappear into background noise. Far more interesting will be watching how they make their natural psychedelic sound during a live performance.
Pterodactyl plays the Palace Lounge Wednesday, July 8, at 9 PM, with Purple Heart and Rooster Sauce. $7.

Jay-Z stepping down as Def Jam president
By Yinka Adegoke
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Universal Music Group said on Monday that rap artist and hip-hop mogul Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter is stepping down as president of its Def Jam Records unit, effective by the end of the year.
Carter, 38, has been president of the rap label since 2005, and has signed acts including R&B singers Rihanna and Ne-Yo.
Universal said Carter, a top-selling rapper who performs as Jay-Z, will continue recording for its Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam label. But the company did not give a reason for his decision to quit the executive suite.
"Now it's time for me to take on new challenges," he said in a statement. "I am pleased to have had the opportunity to build upon the Def Jam legacy," he added.
Carter will focus on his expanding franchise of 40/40 Nightclubs over the next year and other businesses, according to a source familiar with his plans.
Carter regularly tops the lists of richest hip-hop moguls, and was No. 9 on Forbes' Celebrity 100, the annual roster of the world's most powerful -- and best paid -- celebrities, with an estimated compensation of $83 million.
Carter, who has said he was a street hustler growing up in the Marcy public housing project in a tough section of Brooklyn, New York, has sold millions of records and launched an array of media and fashion businesses.
Though known for his cutting-edge rap lyrics and rags-to-riches story, Carter often is mentioned in local gossip columns because of his romantic relationship with R&B singer Beyonce Knowles. Last week, he denied rumors that the couple had married in secret. Continued...

Lincoln lied to you, I can't find "twenty-gauge" wire anywhere...
Twenty Gauge is history and unless you just happen up on a left over spool you will not be able to get it anymore. The last E-Mail I had with them they assured me they were going to aggressively market it and agreed that JW Harris had "dropped the ball" as they put it and they intended to change strategy. This was not to be however and later I learned from someone else that also had been asking Lincoln about Twenty Gauge that the decision had been made to just drop it because it was a slow seller. This, IMHO, is a real loss because they almost certainly would have had a hot product there if they had of just gotten rid of that confusing name and educated their dealers a little better. I have used every common welding method and filler on the market to weld thin sheet metal and I can honestly say I don't think there is (was) anything else out there to compare with Twenty Gauge but I guess it doesn't matter now.
I also E-mailed Lincoln about the Twenty Gauge wire... I guess they feel that there's limited demand for it. I think the problem was mostly poor marketing and lack of advertising. I'm surprised that no other welding supply company has stepped up to fill the void.
Read on another board:
".....Years ago I read somewhere that Ron Covell recommends Esab Spoolarc Easy Grind. Tried it, been using it for light gauge stuff ever since. It does grind more easily that most mig welds, afterwards the bead can be worked with hammer and dolly like the surrounding metal. ......"
Anyone know where to buy 'Spoolarc Easy Grind" then ?? Online ??
probably .023" right ???
Thanks, I'm about to ditch this Harbor Freight cheapo welder. But I ought to give it one last college try...
Easy grind is just that, easy to grind, but it is not necessarily a better or easier to use welding wire. IMO the crap should be out-lawed because the very soft low strength filler makes for a relatively weak weld that looks like any other weld, this becomes a problem when it is used for something other than body work. It is plenty strong enough for body panels and I am in no way trying to say it should not be used for that but the problem is that once it is loaded on the machine, people being what they are, it will all too often end up being used on frames, suspensions, steering parts, etc, where it could very well pose a real danger. Junk hardware store bolts/nuts are a problem enough when used where grade 5 or 8 fasteners are required without adding something that will have no markings or other warnings on it that identify it as unsuitable for the task. Personally I can not see a real need for it anyway since a proper weld using conventional wire will need little grinding and with the right technique that grinding simply is not a problem. IMHO skip the Easy Grind and use a good MIG wire that will be safe to use in most circumstances because EASY Grind is, again JMO, a cure for a problem that should be addressed properly by honing technique and not by using an inferior strength product.
well oldred,
I can see your point. Probably a technique problem...
From my perspective, I've found that most any task in Body and Paint can be 'self-taught' with a little reading. I like that, that's the way I operate. Welding is NOT one of those tasks. I've not had the opportunity to live within commuting distance of a trade-school or community college to teach me welding so far. I have a piece-of-crap Harbor Freight welder and I'm planning on a better one (but the wife is screetching) (Hobart or Miller) to see if that helps. But right now I'm frustrated because my welding looks like crap and It's not one of those things you can grasp from online or a book it seems...
Thought I'd give a try to a different wire, but maybe that's not the real answer... My rocker has a dime size hole in it and my bedside has a lot of cracks around the spare-tire thingy... My door needs a half-skin and I want to get rid of the gas-fill hole...
Thanks for your thoughts...
The thing about Easy Grind is that it may be easier to clean up (grind) but it don't really make a better easier to do weld, in other words it is not necessarily easier to weld with. Going to a Hobart or Miller welder from the HF machine could make a difference and with a bit of practice you should not have a problem because after a while it sort of "clicks" and becomes easy to do. I know that it can get really frustrating trying to weld thin panels and at times it may even seem nearly impossible but honestly it will become easier the more you do it.
Somebody at Lincoln must be just plain dumb because if there ever was a product that made welding body panels easy it was Twenty Gauge! I just can,t for the life of me understand why they would not market something like that because in spite of what they apparently believe the market IS there if they would just get the product and the info out.

Okay, I went out and re-assembled the HF machine (bottle, etc..) from moving. I tried with no real good success again on my 2 sheetmetal pieces. then I thought maybe I'd play with the wire-feed speed. So I cranked it up. It began popping, it was way worse. This is with a 'pulled' pressure of 25# on my regulator. Okay so maybe the amps are too low...
BANG !! I've got bacon-sizzling sound now !! I may replace my welder one day, but not right now, the dang thing works. It took a bit of grinding to get them flat, so I've got some more practicing to do, but they had good penetration at the end, so I'm on to something.
I need to order a rocker or a front fender lower patch to try out.
Thanks for getting me frustrated enough to try it again. And I wish they had that twenty-gauge stuff.
The welds themselves DO grind away very hard. I'm using an electric Dewalt high-speed grinder (4" ?) that has a stone on it I got from Dad. Maybe I'm using the wrong tool for the job, but it takes a lot of grinding just to level a few 1/2" beads...
Maybe a flap disc or regular pneumatic angle-grinder is next on my list...
Whatever you grind with BE CAREFUL! It is very easy to warp sheetmetal with a grinder and more than one person has managed to do an excellent job of keeping the warpage down while welding only to warp the dickens out of it when grinding! I personally prefer those flap discs or a flexible sanding disc, I never use a stiff grinding wheel but then that's just me so use what works best for you.
there's so many posts containing the welding wire "twenty-gauge" that I lost track of all of them. Anyway I found a 10# spool for $36 plus shipping. Now I need some sort of adapter to make it rotate smoothly on the small-post in my HF welder. Glad I found some though...
The 33# spools are available everywhere it seems, but they ain't gonna fit the Hobby Welders...
hey you might can try this
as far as some thing to treat
the metal after you weld it
were you want it they used it
on trucks they say it can last for
years here is a link so you can find
it www.picklex20.com hope this helps
I saw some Twenty Guage at my welder supplier today when I was ordering a new .030 wire roller. I'll beat feet back tomorrow and pick up a 10# spool and give it a try. This will be cheaper than buying a .023 roller!! I just got a new, high horsepower welder that would make a good welder out of a novice. It is a Thermal Arc 251 Fabricator and is it a fine, precision piece of equipment!! I looked at a bunch of different welders, but this is a horse for the bucks. I have .035 wire in it right now and have done ok on 18 ga metal, but know .030 will be a snap. It is the smoothest feeding machine I have ever used and the big chart on the back side of the wire access door lets you select the right settings at a glance. So far, they beat my guess work by a mile!!! Yesterday, I welded some 1/2 inch bar stock together and the penetration was awesome and laid down a beautiful bead. It wants me to weld at a faster pace than I am used to so I have to dial it down a notch to adapt to my pace.
Here's a short article on mig welding basics....
Click here for the "Basics of Basics" MIG welding
In my journal I have some pics of cutting out the rusted areas and making / installing patch panels. It is not difficult you will be able to do it. Here is a pic of the latest patch panel I made and am installing. I still have to finish spot welding it. Good luck and learn by doing!

Ballard no longer represented on Port Commission
Still time to apply for vacant position
With Ballardite Gael Tarleton having left her position as Port Commission President to become a 36th District Representative in the Washington State Legislature, Ballard officially has no one on the commission representing the neighborhood, despite it being home to two Port-controlled marinas and the Maritime Industrial Center.
Instead, taking Tarleton's place is Microsoft attorney Courtney Gregoire, the daughter of now-former Governor Christine Gregoire. The younger Gregoire was appointed to the position last week.
However, another position will be open: Commissioner Rob Holland's resignation takes effect on March 15. Port of Seattle will be accepting applications for his vacated seat and will automatically consider everyone who has already applied. Application packets are available at http://www.portseattle.org/About/Commission/Pages/default.aspx. For more info on applying for the opening, see the bottom of this article.
While certainly not the behemoth that the Port of Seattle is, there is still work to be tended to in the Ballard area. Here's a brief overview of the three Port-controlled entities in the Ballard area.
Sunset at Shilshole Bay Marina/Photo by Sarai Rachel (Flickr/CC)
Shilshole Bay Marina, advertised as the Northwest's premiere sailing center, provides moorage to a plethora of sailboats and pleasure crafts, and is home to the largest liveaboard community on the west coast, with over 300 boats. For those who are unsure, it's that long stretch of boats on Seaview Ave NW before you hit Golden Gardens.
The marina just turned 50 last year. The property was bought by the Port as early as 1931, but due to the Depression the marina wasn't completed until 1962.

Fishermen's Terminal is something like an older brother to Shilshole Bay Marina. Turning 100 years old in 2014, Fishermen's Terminal provides moorage for more than 600 boats and is mainly home to the vessels of the North Pacific Fishing fleet, but is also open to visitors and pleasure boaters. For the common Seattleite, the Terminal is known to provide moorage to vessels from the Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch."
The Maritime Industrial Center
The Maritime Industrial Center, located along the ship canal not far from Fishermen's Terminal, provides 1,518 linear feet of concrete dock space for loading (mostly seafood and domestic goods) and repair work, as well as some moorage.
Purchased by the port in 1992, the Center's history stretches back to the 1920s, when it was owned by the Rattan and Wood Chair Company and then the Coast Guard. Now it is home to an active loading dock and provides office space for several businesses, mostly related to boating and fishing.
So, if any Ballardites are passionate about the local waterways and marinas in the Ballard area, now is the time to apply for a new position. While Tarleton's seat was filled, Rob Holland, who resigned last month after the Seattle Times published a damning article, has vacated his. For more information on that, see the press release below:
"The Commission will begin a second public process to fill Rob Holland's seat, who is resigning from the Commission effective March 15. The decision on Holland's seat will be completed in late April or early May.
The Commission will accept applications for Holland's seat until noon on March 22. Application packets are available on the Commission website at http://www.portseattle.org/About/Commission/Pages/default.aspx. Completed applications are public records subject to disclosure. Applicants must be a King County resident and registered to vote in the county. The Commission Office will conduct background and reference checks on all finalists.
The position pays $500 a month, with benefits, and requires some travel. A resolution is pending before the commission to increase commissioner salaries to the same level as those of state legislators.
All of the finalists not chosen for Tarleton's position will be automatically considered for the second position unless a finalist chooses to end her candidacy. Any of the applicants for the first vacancy will also be considered if the candidate advises the Commission Office of continuing interest.
On March 26, new applicants will be asked to address the Commissioners for three minutes or submit a written statement. Returning applicants may address the Commissioners if they so choose, but an appearance is not necessary.
Both seats will be on the ballot in November. The election for Holland's position will fill the seat for four years, while the winner in the race for Tarleton's seat would serve only until 2015."

Minnesota Timberwolves fans have reason to get up in the morning as they have two very exciting rookies playing together.
Last week we showed you rookie-to-rookie greatness with Minnesota Ricky Rubio throwing to Derrick Williams.
TIMBERWOLVES: Rubio has 14 assists, Williams 14 points in win
Turns out the two are making a habit of highlight clips for Minnesota.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
The Oyster House Saloon's back patio is a very down-home, charming scene, dimly lit with Jameson-bottle lamps, as well as comfy benches enclosed within faux brick walls and open-sky beamed ceilings. Inside and out, the Studio City seafood spot has an eclectic mix of customers — including plenty of rock and jazz musicians. The narrow space is half restaurant, half bar, and its stage features live jazz. The drinks are cheap, and the bar fare revolves around steaming bowls of clam chowder and oyster shooters. It's an excellent place to get a drink and some good food, and maybe even meet a musically inclined friend. 12446 Moorpark St., Studio City. (818) 761-8686. citycheers.com/templates/one/index.php?vid=6877. —Norm Jenssen
A bright spot on an otherwise sleepy stretch of Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock, Colorado Wine Company has long stood out for its cheeky, unpretentious approach to the guzzling of the grape. (The annual white-trash wine tasting, which pairs things like tater tots and pinot noir, is always a sellout.) But since moving into new, cozier digs last November, it's become something else: a Cheers-like neighborhood bar in a neighborhood that desperately needed one. Most nights of the week — especially Fridays, when they pour a five-wine flight for a mere $15 — you can find a convivial mix of locals and cork dorks from all over town crowding around the rough-hewn hunk of reclaimed wood that serves as both bar and checkout counter. There's a rotating selection of wines by the glass and six beers on tap — but pop a bottle to share with your newfound bar buddies. Corkage is only five bucks — except Wednesdays, when it's free. 2305 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock. (323) 478-1985, cowineco.com. —Andy Hermann
Most beachside-bar real estate revolves around location in lieu of quality — a harrowing fact of life to the coastal craft beer lover. Where others have rested on the laurels of a nice locale, Venice Ale House unites a superb local beer selection with an ocean view. Plunk yourself onto a patio seat where you'll rub elbows with boardwalk commuters, or enjoy a slight remove at the bustling bar and choose from 32 beers originating from Colorado and points west. Note the "almost always" available chalkboard beer list in addition to the rotational selection — all are on tap. A "skate of beers" delivers a flight of four, six or eight samples suspended on an immobilized skateboard. With all that amazing beer and the enchanting sunset over the ocean, you're bound to need sustenance. Try the grass-fed burger to satisfy that primal, beer-induced hunger. This seaside pint — or flight — will be one you won't forget. 2 Rose Ave., Venice. (310) 314-8253, venicealehouse.com. —Erika Bolden
When you see a great hardcore band there's always tons of energy, and this is particularly true at the Vex Arts performance space. The stuffy, sweaty room is home to the most raging slam dancing, stage-diving and dog piles in Los Angeles County. Legendary East L.A. precursor the Vex dated back to the days of Black Flag but shut its doors in 1984. Thankfully, a year ago it returned in the new location as a multipurpose space. Again spearheaded by Joe "Vex" Suquette, it hosts everything from art shows and concerts to skateboard workshops. But the real ragers are the hardcore shows, featuring veteran acts like Infest and Chain of Strength alongside up-and-comers Stoic Violence and Nomads. Once you enter the mosh pit, you won't want to leave. (Until you start bleeding, that is.) 5240 Alhambra Ave., El Sereno. (323) 221-0971, vexarts.com. —Nicholas Pell
In decades past, jazz fanatic Clint Eastwood hung at Studio City jazz spot the Baked Potato. Oh, and Police guitarist Andy Summers gigged there following the supergroup's breakup, Slash played in jam sessions there after Guns N' Roses, and in recent years Joe Bonamassa has slipped in for sets before a hundred fans instead of the thousands that fill his arena shows. The venue was founded in 1970 by Don Randi, and his son Justin is there most nights now behind the bar and out front tweaking the room's legendary sound. Music fans from around the world pass through the doors, and the club can be considered L.A.'s answer to New York's Village Vanguard: a small room where some of the world's greatest musicians stop by to listen and play with their peers. The patrons themselves feel like they're sitting in. 3787 Cahuenga Blvd. West, Studio City. (818) 980-1615, thebakedpotato.com. —Tom Meek
The aptly named World Famous Barnyard is about as low-down and lively a blues venue as you'll find anywhere in the nation. Featuring live blues, soul, old-school jazz and R&B, this bring-your-own-booze celebration situation happens every Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m. at 97th and Main in South Central. It's nothing but a vacant lot strewn with rows of used commodes and kitchen appliances, only partially paved and barely covered with an old awning. It features a revolving crew of hardcore local blues bands but, since there's no website, no publicist and no phone, you never know what to expect — except that it'll be as genuine as it can be. 9627 S. Main St., Broadway-Manchester. —Jonny Whiteside

After another week, the standings show little to no signs of stabilizing. Philadelphia is back on top, Detroit and Tampa are making challenges, and here come the Red Sox, among others. Taking down the Reds helped Pujols and the Cardinals take over the division, but Corey Hart is about to return, and the Brewers are right there. Virtually anything could still happen, in a very short time, so let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Monday, April 25, before the day's games:
A change in closers has helped the Cardinals stay in contention for the division, but Philadelphia's pitching staff has shown that they can go deep into games and still play at an excellent level. With Adam Wainwright out for the year, St. Louis can't keep up, even with Albert Pujols.
The Rockies have been falling lately, while the Marlins have been improving. This was emphasized by Florida taking two of three from Colorado to end this past week. If the Rockies are to have any chance right now, they'll need Ubaldo Jimenez to return to form in a huge hurry.
New York did take care of the Orioles, but Mo has blown consecutive save chances. That and their thin pitching staff could present some problems if the delicate balance is interrupted. But for now, they're still a potent team. And the Royals were just swept in Texas, which isn't a death sentence since Texas is also an excellent team, but could do too much damage to the great beginning Kansas City had.
Texas has won three in a row to reclaim firm control over their division. Cleveland has lost three in a row, but still has a 1.5-game lead in their division, but losing to a previously struggling Twins team, a division rival no less, has hurt their cause. Texas' offense will simply overwhelm Cleveland.

Obstacles face Clairton basketball teams
New Clairton basketball coaches Matt Geletko and Charles Shealey have odds to overcome before their seasons even start.
Both are taking over talented teams, but neither walked into ideal situations.
Clairton's boys basketball team, as usual, will start the season late because all five of its starters are members of the Bears football team that will play in the PIAA Class A title game Friday in Hershey.
"But I knew this was going to happen when I took the job," said Geletko, a longtime assistant coach at Serra Catholic under Bob Rozanski.
Clairton's starting five arguably consists of the Bears' five best football players. Tyler Boyd, Titus Howard, Terrish Webb, Bryon Clifford and Armani Ford are expected to start, although the full lineup won't be on display until January because of Boyd's national football all-star game commitments and Howard's recovery from an elbow injury.
So how does Geletko have his team prepared?
"The good thing is that we still have 12 guys in practice every day right now, and we've got some kids who are going to help," said Geletko, who especially is pleased with youngster Rasheed Pacely, a talented forward.
"We'll go 10 or 12 deep when we have everyone. The football players have been in this position before, so they know how to handle this."
Clairton's season won't begin until Dec. 21.
"I really think this team can be a real contender," Geletko said. "There's an awful lot of talent here."
Shealey is an pro at bad timing.
A star at Schenley High School in the 1970s who later became the all-time leading scoring at Delaware State, Shealey received an NBA tryout in 1980. It was with the Los Angeles Lakers, who had just drafted a guard named Magic Johnson.
"Too many Hall of Famers," Shealey said with a laugh. "Just didn't work out."
Through a couple of weeks of practices, Shealey finds himself without enough players.
Two of his starters, Taleese Ogletree and Justice Hall, are out with injuries sustained in a scrimmage last week. Both senior forwards are expected to be significant contributors, and while they should return, Shealey isn't sure when.
"We sure would like to get them back," Shealey said. "But the good thing is this team has six seniors, so that will help get us through."
Shealey is a positive person, and he hopes his personality is going to rub off on his team.
Expect the Lady Bears to play with passion.
"That's the kind of basketball I like to coach, and that's what I think you're going to see," Shealey said. "When I played, I was a pretty low-key guy. But when I coach, I really think that a lot of enthusiasm comes out of me. I want that to show in these girls. We just want to play a high-intensity style of basketball."
Like the Clairton boys, the girls team will begin play Dec. 21.
"We have a lot of talent on this team," Shealey said. "The girls have responded pretty well to me, and I think it's going to go well. I can't wait for the season to start."

Two dozen. Each box contains 6 feeder 6 upright. My father and I split our dozen. I have used mine 3 times my father 2. Basically brand new. We decided we wanted more goose dekes.
I am asking $110 OBO per dozen which includes shipping to your door.
I figure that saves a guy around $25 if ordered from a store. ( they are $120+ $13 shipping) Again, pretty much brand new.
Buy one dozen or both.
I'll accept check or money order.
thank you

The state of North Carolina has implemented a new student information system – Pearson PowerSchool, replacing NCWISE, the student information system the state had been using for nearly 20 years.
PowerSchool will feature a Parent Portal, which will replace Parent Assistant Module (PAM) beginning in late September. The Parent Portal will provide parents (and students) access to grades, attendance records, schedules and will be available from any computer with Internet access.
Parents will have accounts through which they can access information. Each family will receive an Access ID and password for each student, which will be used to create the parent account. CCS parents and students can access information about grades and attendance using the PowerSchool Student Login page using a secure login code. Parents will receive this information from their child's school in September. Parents will receive a unique code for each child enrolled in Cabarrus County Schools and will be able to link their children in the Parent Portal. As with any personal information, it is important to protect this information. Parents will receive additional information about using the new system in the coming weeks.
There is no cost to use PowerSchool, but you will need a computer with Internet access. Computers are available at public library branches if needed. Please note that in addition to digital information, parents may also request printed data from their child's school.
Parent App Available
Parents also can access their students' information using the PowerSchool Parent App. The PowerSchool for Parents App is available for download from the Apple App Store and compatible with the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch®. Parents can easily view each child's progress in a single feed to check grades, review assignments, and more! Also included in the app is the option for parents to share classroom information through Facebook and Twitter.
Cabarrus County Schools does not provide support for the PowerSchool for Parents App. For your information, we have included a few frequently asked questions about PowerSchool. See the information below.
Parents and students will be hearing a lot about PowerSchool over the next few months. It is important to understand that PowerSchool is only one part of a suite of tools that the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction will introduce this year. HomeBase, as it is called, features not only the new student information system – PowerSchool, it also includes an integrated instructional tool that aligns to Common Core Standards and a measurement tool for teacher effectiveness.
HomeBase is a suite of software provided by the state beginning in the 2013-2014 school year. PowerSchool, the state's Student Information System, is one piece of software included in the suite and is required. The state will also use True North Logic software within HomeBase for the N.C. Educator Evaluation System. HomeBase also will have some optional software components such as SchoolNet, which will provide the capability for formative assessments, teacher lesson plans, and resources for instruction. Cabarrus County Schools will pilot the optional components this year.

"Happiness is a warm Gun."
I have a OWBXD that I use when I spend a lot of time in vehicle, I can't imagine driving without it actually. It doesn't conceal that great but it attaches magnetically and I can quickly take it off and stuff it IWB on the strong side for decent concealment in a pinch. My state is very OC/CC friendly when it comes to vehicles.
I carried that way for a long time. I took Point Shooting Progressions the first time running it that way. OWB. Anything specific you're looking to find out about it?
Si vis pacem, para violentus.
Keep a remora in car for trips use it crossdraw
I occasionally use a crossdraw paddle holster by Malibu Gunleather. Left handed here. Carry's well and conceals my SP101 snubby suficiently.
"Don't shout for help at night, you may wake your neighbors"
As a righty nowway can I draw from concealed with a seat belt. So I have a serpa screwed to the console in my truck for when driving.
I tried crossdraw, But I'm not shaped for it. Or my arms are too short lately.
I like crossdraw with a shoulder holster. My problem with crossdraw OWB or IWB is that it presents your firearm to anyone facing you. I have used an off hand holster on my strong side, but that results is a kind of twist draw like an SOB holster.
I prefer 11:00 crossdraw for OC in the boonies on foot or 4-wheeler. It don't work for CC however. It draws stares when OC in the city whereas strong side carry rarely gets a second glance. I am one who does care what image is being projected to the undecided middle-of-the-road voters so it's strong side for the citified.
My wife carries crossdraw and I have a few times. Bottom line, if it's comfortable for you and you can draw it well. That's all that matters.
I have used a shoulder type while driving long distances. actually it's a T shirt with a Velcro pocket worn under a loose fitting outer shirt. Very comfortable with a small gun.
Yeah. I have always liked crossdraw. And from a seated position, it cant be beat. I have a galco paddle holster that has an easy change over from strong side to crossdraw, but of course I cant think of the name of it.
Saying that, for non driving situations, I generally go with OWB, strong side carry. Mags on opposite side, bullets always facing in same direction. For me thats bullets forward, though it doesnt matter which direction you use, so long as you are consistent in it.
I carried in crossdraw position for a couple of months in 2009 following some surgery. I find it very natural and for drawing from a seated position it can't be beat. Concealment takes a little work but is doable with the right gun. I don't carry crossdraw now but given the amount of time I spend seated in a car, at my desk and in restaurants etc it seems a practical option for me.
I got used to a cross draw in Alaska when I was carrying a shotgun to run grizzlies out of camp. It was loaded with beanbag rounds but I needed a heavy caliber handgun in case they got fractious. The shotgun kept banging into my revolver. Anyway I really liked it and now I carry my Kimber in a cross draw and it feels natural.

Groveport 50, Cavs 43
With a minute left in the 1st quarter Tuesday, Tommy Bolte gave Chillicothe a seven point lead, but at night's end, the Cavs came up seven points short in a 50-43 loss to Groveport.
The visiting Cruisers used an effective box-n-one defense to limit the Cavs leading scorer eight second half points while the Cavs managed to hit just 35% of their shots from the field. "That (box-n-one) gave us some trouble" said Cavs Coach Eric Huffer. "We can't have a guy at the top catch it and travel because he's trying to look to get the ball to Tommy. And we've gotta put in some sets for that because we know it's coming. It was a good learning experience for us tonight, not only for our guys, but for me as a coach."
After trailing Chillicothe 11-6, Groveport won the second quarter to knot the game at 20-20 at the break.
"I felt we were still okay at that point, holding a team that wants to run to 10 points a quarter" said Coach Eric Huffer after the game.
To the Cavs misfortune, Groveport hit on their first three possessions to start the second half and eventually built their lead to 37-25 over the next 8 minutes. Chillicothe made just 1-of-11 shots in the quarter, and for the middle quarters, just 5-of-23 (22%).
Huffer was pleased with his team's first half performance. "It was 20 points, it was 8-10 points and that's what we want. I told them 'Get ready, 'cause they're gonna come out and start swingin' right at the beginning (of the 3rd) we've gotta be able to handle this run… and they did and we weren't ready for it".
CJ Crowder put together a string of baskets in the third quarter to build separation. The Cavs battled back and forced some Groveport turnovers whittling the margin to 45-41 on back-to-back three pointers by Eddie Wells, but with just 1:12 remaining, the Cruisers kept the Cavs at bay with free throws. Groveport buried 18-of-22 shots from the line while Chillicothe was held to 3-of-5.
Wells scored 11 and Bolte ended with 23, 15 of them came in the first half. Only Tyrus Ferguson was in double figures for Groveport while seven players scored for the Cruisers.
The Cavs (1-1) travel to Amanda Clearcreek Friday.

textPlus Launches International Calling App
Marina Del Rey-based textPlus, the venture-backed developer of mobile texting and calling applications, said Wednesday that it has launched a brand new, international calling app called GlobePhone. According to the company--which is backed by Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, Matrix Partners, Upfront Ventures and The Raine Group--the new mobile app offers up inexpensive international calling, specifically aimed at people in the US with family and friends outside the country, and for those traveling internationally. textPlus said the new app offers up international calling starting at $0.02 per minute, which the company says is 98 percent less than standard carrier rates. textPlus is led by serial entrepreneur Scott Lahman, who also previously had been at JAMDAT Mobile.

We are a UK based company developing a new concept in ladies shoes - sexy, "going out" shoes which are a joy to wear! Unlike current high end designer shoes they will have unrivaled comfort and cushioning. We would like the brand to be feminine, vibrant and sexy!
Core focus will be ABC1 women age 30-65, who like to dress fashionably but are not prepared to put up with uncomfortable feet. They are not slaves to fashion but like to keep up with mainstream trends.
We require a logo that we can use on the shoes, on the packaging and promotional material. Our signature colour is to be purple (ermine), but we would consider up to 3 other colours incorporated in the design.

Bear in mind, my opinion is influenced by twenty years of carrying a gun, and studying various shootings over that course of time.
I personally have no use for 147 grain anything in 9mm due to it's past record in the late eighties and early to mid nineties. The mid-weight loads, or even the lighter 115 grain loads loaded to +P or +P+ have a good track record with lots of documentation behind them.
I realize that the 147 grain load has been redesigned and this is just my own personal prejudice, but having met a LEO that was later killed due to an over-penatrative 147 grain round does tend to factor in to my dislike of the round.
There is no "magic bullet". You would be better served practicing to put the round where it will stop the threat IMHO. In my personal 9mm I carry either 115 grain +P or +P+. I favor the +P+.

Washington, Mar 14 : Celebrity donations are not a new thing in Hollywood, and now it was the turn of a charity co-founded by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle to put their money for a noble cause.
The charity, known as 'Not On Our Watch', dished out a whopping 500,000 dollars to the United Nations World Food Program to combat the food problem in Darfur, Sudan.
U.N.'s food aid agency will be utilising this amount to prevent hunger in the troubled Darfur region of Sudan.
"Without immediate additional funding, humanitarian aid in the region will be crippled," Contactmusic quoted Clooney, as saying in a statement.
'Not On Our Watch' has already raised more than 9.3 million dollars for Darfur, and donated 1 million dollars to the World Food Program last year (07).
Clooney has recently filmed a documentary about the crisis in Sudan last year and has certainly become a strong supporter for action against the genocide.

Now that we've revealed all of the upcoming Muppet projects and merchandise from the D23 Expo and asked you which of the announcements you're most excited for, you're probably wondering what the Muppets actually, y'know, did. Thanks to the magic of YouTube, we've pieced together the majority of their appearances. So close your eyes and pretend you're in a theater with hundreds of screaming Muppet fans, while craning your neck to try and see over the lady with the big hair sitting in front of you. And now you might want to open your eyes, because it's probably the only way you'd be able to enjoy these videos.
The first video is from Dick Cook's keynote address. The Muppets showed up in a big ol' riverboat and sang "Rainbow Connection". As far as I know, nobody sang "Old Man River".
Pepe got a little spotlight (Yes, I'm making fun of his height. What's the shrimp gonna do about it, huh?) when he got the opportunity to announce the remastered Muppet*Vision 3D attraction. Pepe's impromptu song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
Sam the Eagle (looking very 1975 here) opened for Fozzie, Gonzo, and Pepe, who might've found Coke's secret formula. Sam's speech is cut off a little at the beginning, but he says, "Thank you Ms. Breier, I feel your pain. My fellow Americans, I wish to talk to you about the Walt Disney Company and the United States of America, and about how they are almost exactly the same thing. For example, they both have a rich history…"
ToughPigs' own Danny Horn (Remember Danny? He used to be the big cheese around here.) was on hand at D23. After the Muppet presentation, he stood in line for the opportunity to meet Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz, and Bill Barretta, who were on hand to do something puppet-related. The following is Danny's account:
The crowd files out and into a receiving line. There's a table set up, and Fozzie, Gonzo and Pepe come out so that fans can meet them and take a picture with the Muppets. The puppeteers were absolutely amazing. The line went on for about two hours, and they were on the whole time — talking to people, making jokes, having fun. There was a camera set up so that they could look at video monitors under the table. (Every once in a while, they would joke about what they could and couldn't see.) I was practically at the end of the line, and even at the end, they were exhausted but still totally into it, funny and warm.
The puppeteers took breaks every once in a while — the character would duck down under the table so they could rest their arms. Some people got to meet one character, some got two, and some got all three. If a fan came up and said that he really wanted to meet Fozzie, then Fozzie would come right up — they were really great about it.
As I got close to the front, I could hear some of the banter… Here's some examples.
Gonzo: "Have a nice day at D23! See you next year at D24."
A fan posed with Gonzo, and said that he'd never had his picture taken with a cartoon. Gonzo said, "I'm not a cartoon… but I was a cartoon when I was a baby."
A couple came up dressed as Aladdin and Princess Jasmine. Pepe was the only character up, and he had a lot of fun flirting with the Princess and posing for a picture with her. Then Aladdin posed, and the other characters came up. When they saw that Jasmine had moved away, they snapped at Pepe: "Hey, there's a Princess here! Why didn't you call us up earlier?" "I was busy," Pepe said.
A fan got a picture with Gonzo, and then wanted one with Fozzie. Gonzo: "You want one with Piggy too? The nerve."
Gonzo, talking to a woman: "Is that your husband? What'd you bring him for?"
So — charming, warm, funny, gracious.
Many thanks to Danny Horn, and to the kind souls who snuck cameras into D23 and uploaded to YouTube! We won't tell, we promise.

Restricting Sugary Food May Backfire
Do you try to lose weight by putting certain foods off-limits? Depriving yourself of the foods you love, new research in rats suggests, might drive you to eat more of those foods later.
NIH-funded researchers recently found that rats given occasional access to sugary food ate less of their normal food even when sweet food wasn't available. When the sweet food became available again, they overate it. In other words, the rats were holding out for the good stuff.
The researchers suspect the brain's stress system might be behind this behavior. Withdrawal problems for drugs of abuse are driven by the brain's fear, anxiety and stress response. Could something similar happen when you deprive yourself of certain foods?
The scientists tested a drug that blocks the action of CRF, a molecule involved in the brain's response to stress. CRF has been tied to withdrawal for every major drug of abuse.
The team divided rats into 2 groups. One received cycles of 5 days of regular chow and 2 days of sweet chow. The other was given only regular food. All the rats could eat as much as they wanted. After 7 weeks, the rats were given the CRF-blocker.
The blocker blunted the rats' bingeing. The diet-cycled rats ate more regular chow and then, when it was available, less of the sweet. The drug also blocked the rats' anxious behavior when the sweet food was withdrawn. It had no effect on the rats eating only normal chow.
When eating regular chow, the diet-cycled rats had much higher CRF levels in a brain region involved in fear, anxiety and stress. CRF levels were normal, however, when they were fed the sweet food.
Human eating behavior is more complicated than rats, of course. But these findings suggest that cutting out certain foods may cause you to feel stressed until you eat those foods again. Research shows that the best way to lose weight is to change your lifestyle to eat healthier and get more physical activity.

Eating Disorders
About half of American children and teenagers who have certain mental disorders don't receive professional services, according to a new study.
Researchers interviewed over 3,000 children and adolescents, ages 8 to 15. Parents or caregivers also provided information about the children's mental health and what treatment, if any, they were receiving. The researchers tracked 6 mental disorders—generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia), depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder.
Overall, 13% of the youth had signs of at least 1 of the 6 mental disorders within the last year. About 1.8% had more than one disorder, usually a combination of ADHD and conduct disorder. ADHD was the most common (8.6%), with depression second most common (3.7%).
Overall, 55% of those with a disorder had consulted with a mental health professional. African-Americans and Mexican-Americans were significantly less likely to seek treatment than whites, however. The researchers say this highlights the need to identify and remove barriers to treatment for minority youth.
"The data will provide a valuable basis for making decisions about health care for American youth," says lead author Dr. Kathleen Merikangas of NIH

The weather was gorgeous. And we had a blast wandering around Greenwich, Soho, Little Italy, Broadway, Time Square, Central Park...yeah...and all in a day and a half. Luckily this was a leisure trip. We had both "done" NYC sightseeing previously so we were just enjoying the change of pace and scenery.
One of the highlights of our trip...Magnolia Bakery cupcakes of course. Heaven in a box.
If you've never had one, but ever go to New York, make sure to add this to your must do list. You'll thank me later. It's right up there with the Statue of Liberty. I do NOT exaggerate!
On our way home, we also hit...drum roll...Ikea!
Ikea is proof that God exists. Seriously. Can I get a halleluiah?
Just to illustrate my love for the store I wanted a picture of me jumping for joy in the parking lot. My Aunt was happy to oblige. She made me work for the shot though by re-shooting six or seven times. Passers by got a good chuckle at our many attempts of capturing the moment on camera. Below are some of the outtakes. MaineAunt was more impressed with those than the perfect picture she got of me midair. She particularly liked the ones of me squatting like I was on the toilet. I figured you would enjoy them too...who doesn't like it when someone humiliates themselves publicly for a laugh, right?
I scored a TON (and this is not an understatement) of stuff from Ikea for the house. About half was solely for MaineBaby's room. Although we had moved into our house in October, there is so much to do to make it homey. In fact, the only rooms that are 100 percent complete are the upstairs bathrooms (booo to my progress). Case in point, the before shots of MaineBaby's bedroom:
Blah blah BLAND! Functional but bare walls and lacking pops of color and fun found in toddler rooms. After Ikea saved the day:
Ribba picture shelf ledges were used as book shelves. I picked up the stuffed turtle pillow at Target a week earlier and relocated three of her ocean art pictures to this wall.
Two Mammut stools and two Mammut pink chairs now provide her with a great place to play with her dollhouse. The table is a temporary relocated solution. I found a gorgeous piece of butcher block for $20 in the Ikea "As Is" section that I am planning to make into a table for her.
I also purchased another Mammut shelf for books/stuffed animal display. The dresser needs to be repainted white and adorned with new hardware. The wooden letters are spray painted pink and are from Joann Fabric. The white frame was originally a mirror that was a wedding gift to my parents...back in the '70s. Unfortunately, the glass didn't make our last move but I wanted to salvage it somehow so I spray painted it white and found some beautiful decorative punched tin to put in it. It will be hung above the dresser and be perfect for displaying earrings, necklaces and other jewelery when she gets older. Thank you Pinterst for the inspiration!
Here is the fun Lova leaf canopy for her toddler bed...definitely her favorite of the lot.
And I found some fun, colorful and super cheap fabric at our local Mardens that I will be using to make curtains this weekend. I also found some coordinating fabric in fun geometric patterns and colors that I plan to use for her bedding.
Can I just say I love Ikea, I love the Swedish names of their products and I love how they make me feel ethnic and worldly. Seriously...I need to get out more.
Okay...so there is still work to be done. But I had fun at Ikea damn it and MaineBaby is thrilled with the fact that I am finally showing her room some love. The window coverings, tin for the mirror frame and painting the dresser will make a huge difference when they are complete. I'll get right on that...okay, this weekend I will. I'm still recovering from my NYC expedition. But it was SO worth it.
Have you made any time for yourself lately? Taken a day trip? Visited the gloriously large, fun and inspiring Ikea near you? Please...do tell.

UPDATE 3-U.S. natgas futures end down after June hits 21-mth high
* Late-week outlook turns colder for Texas and the Midwest * Cool weather drives front month to 21-month high * Coming Up: EIA, Enerdata natural gas storage data Thursday By Joe Silha NEW YORK, May 1 (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas futures ended lower on Wednesday for a second straight day, pressured by a late wave of profit-taking after colder weather forecasts drove the front-month contract to a 21-month high early in the session. Temperatures in the Midwest and Texas were expected to sink far below normal later this week and generate heating demand. An unexpectedly chilly spring has helped slow storage injections early in the stock building season and left inventories well below normal for this time of year. "The market bumped up early as technical buyers responded to temporary weather-based demand, but we saw some profit-taking late in the session on concerns about the sustainability of the (recent) rally," Gelber & Associates analyst Aaron Calder said. Calder noted that government data on Tuesday showed gross gas production climbed in February, which could mean the market will remain comfortably supplied, even during a warm summer. Front-month June gas futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange ended down 1.7 cents at $4.326 per million British thermal units after climbing early to a 21-month high of $4.444. The front contract lost nearly 6 percent last week, its first weekly decline in 10 weeks, but still managed a 7.9 percent gain in April for the third straight monthly rise. Despite the early run up, technical traders said the market seemed to be struggling, noting prices have broken above the $4.40 level several times in the last two weeks only to be turned back by strong selling or profit-taking. Some said Wednesday's action could signal a downside reversal, noting the front month hit a new high then closed on a weak note. Traders also noted that gas prices at current levels are likely to slow demand by prompting more utilities to use coal rather than gas for power generation and to increase supply by encouraging producers to turn on more wells. ANOTHER LIGHT INVENTORY BUILD EXPECTED Utilities typically stockpile natural gas from April through October, then withdraw stored supplies from November through March to help meet peak winter heating demand. The stock-building season got off to a slow start, with only two injections reported so far after an unusually cold spring forced homeowners and businesses to use more gas for heating. Traders and analysts polled by Reuters are looking for another light storage build when the U.S. Energy Information Administration releases weekly inventory data on Thursday, with most expecting a gain of 28 billion cubic feet. Stocks rose 31 bcf during the same week last year, while the five-year average build for that week is 67 bcf. EIA data last week showed that total U.S. gas inventories had climbed to 1.734 trillion cubic feet, about 807 bcf, or 32 percent, below last year's record highs at this time, and 94 bcf, or 5 percent, below the five-year average. PRODUCTION CLIMBS DESPITE FEWER RIGS The EIA reported on Tuesday that gross natural gas production in February climbed for the first time in three months. Output rose to about 1.27 bcf per day, or 1.8 percent, above the same month last year after dropping below year-ago levels in January for the first time since 2010. The report dimmed prospects that record high output would slow anytime soon despite the fact that the Baker Hughes gas drilling rig count has dropped to a 14-year low. The EIA recently estimated that marketed gas output in 2013 will hit a record high for the third straight year.
