Proficient in various shadings of the electric blues idiom, Johnson has recently extended his repertoire from covers of blues standards to his own material, performed with the same '50s/'60s flavor.
Johnson taught himself how to play guitar when he was a teenager in Atlanta by listening to records. Soon, he began playing guitar in pickup bands, which gave him the opportunity to support such touring musicians as Johnny Winter. After several years playing in bar bands, Johnson formed his own group, the Houserockers.
The Houserockers played bars and clubs around Georgia for several years, eventually landing a record contract with Ichiban in 1989. The next year Johnson released his debut album, Takin' A Bite Outta the Blues. Two years later, his second record, Houserockin' Daddy, appeared. Luther "Houserocker" Johnson continued to tour the U.S. throughout the '90s.

A notable influence on the likes of Sunnyland Slim and Otis Spann, pianist Little Brother Montgomery's lengthy career spanned both the earliest years of blues history and the electrified Chicago scene of the 1950s. By age 11, Montgomery had given up on attending school to instead play in Louisiana juke joints. He came to Chicago as early as 1926 and made his first 78s in 1930 for Paramount, including two enduring signature items, "Vicksburg Blues" and "No Special Rider," recorded in Grafton, WI. Bluebird recorded Montgomery more prolifically in 1935-1936 in New Orleans.
In 1942, Little Brother Montgomery settled down to a life of steady club gigs in Chicago, his repertoire alternating between blues and traditional jazz (he played Carnegie Hall with Kid Ory's Dixieland band in 1949). Otis Rush benefited from his sensitive accompaniment on several of his 1957-1958 Cobra dates, while Buddy Guy recruited him for similar duties when he nailed Montgomery's "First Time I Met the Blues" in a supercharged revival for Chess in 1960. That same year, Montgomery cut a fine album for Bluesville with guitarist Lafayette "Thing" Thomas that remains one of his most satisfying sets.
With his second wife, Janet Floberg, Montgomery formed his own little record company, FM, in 1969. The first 45 on the logo, fittingly enough, was a reprise of "Vicksburg Blues," with a vocal by Chicago chanteuse Jeanne Carroll (her daughter Karen followed in her footsteps around the Windy City).

Kirkpatrick was born in Haynesville, Louisiana, United States. He became interested in music at an early age, learning to play the piano and later the guitar. He was drafted in 1953, and fought in the Korean War until he was discharged in 1955. Back home he enrolled at Grambling College, and he backed Ivory Joe Hunter during this time. But it was his attendance at a B.B. King concert in 1958 that led to Kirkpatrick pursuing blues music, albeit primarily as a part-time musician due to his daily working life. Kirkpatrick had previously settled in Dallas, Texas and, in 1968, declined the opportunity to back Bobby Bland on tour, preferring to remain at home with his young family. He continued to play locally in clubs.
He played three times at the Newport Folk Festival, with his debut appearance occurring in 1970. His performances there were assisted by his brother, who was on the board of directors of the Festival. His debut recording was Feeling the Blues (1973), issued on Folkways Records. Scarely promoted, Kirkpatrick later remarked, "I don't think it added anything of significance to my career." The album included his cover version of B.B. King's blues standard, "Sweet Little Angel". Continuing to work for various federal agencies, he also held a weekend residency at Elks Lodge in south Dallas for 16 years, before his retirement from work with the United States Department of Agriculture in May 1986.
From that time onwards, Kirkpatrick increased his regional club performances. He recorded Going Back to Texas in 1996, his first release in 23 years. In late 1997, he followed this with a lengthy tour across the UK, Ireland and France. (wikipedia)

George Smith was born April 22, 1924, in Helena, Arkansas, but he was raised upriver in Cairo, Illinois for most of his youth. His mother, Jessie, a musician herself, schooled the young Smith on harmonica when he was only four.

As a teenager, Smith began hoboing around Southern towns, eventually teaming up with Early Woods' country band, featuring Woods on fiddle and Curtis Gould on spoons. Together, they played fish fries and picnics throughout the Delta region. In 1941, Smith moved with his mother to Rock Island, Illinois, working mostly outside music, but managing to play a few gigs with a band that included future Muddy Waters drummer, Francis Clay. Then it was back to Mississippi, where Smith joined The Jackson Jubilee Singers, a gospel group.

After that, Smith worked in and out of music, scraping together a living as best he (or anyone in his social position in the Jim Crow South) could. While employed as a projectionist at a theatre in Itta Bena, he discovered he could take the amplifier and speaker from his Bell & Howell film projector and use it to amplify his harmonica. This was in the late 1940's, making Smith among the first to explore the possibilities of amplified sound for this instrument.

There remains some conjecture as to when Smith moved to Chicago. Smith himself said it was 1949; others have amended the date to 1951. Regardless, the golden era of Chicago blues was in full swing when the lanky young man showed up. Already a seasoned player, Smith landed gigs with Otis Rush and the Myers brothers. Like anyone playing harp at that time (and since), he fell under the sway of Little Walter, and, according to Smiths mother, the two men became fast friends. When Henry Strong, Walter's hand-picked replacement in Muddy Waters' band, was killed, Muddy called upon Smith to fill the spot. Smith toured the South with Waters, but his stint in First Chair of Blues Harmonica was, for reasons not entirely known, short-lived. Possibly his style didn't mesh as well with Muddy's sound; possibly he grew restless in a sideman role. Whatever the case, by 1954 Smith found himself accepting a permanent house gig at The Orchid Room in Kansas City. By this time, he had a fully developed style of his own, influenced not just by Little Walter but by chromatic virtuoso Larry Adler. Smith's facility on the chromatic was unmatched in the blues world. His style must have been reinforced by the jazz-flavored accompaniment his Kansas City musicians provided him; certainly their more urbane, swinging approach lent itself to his way of playing better than Muddy's electrified Delta sound ever did.

In 1955, Joe Bihari of Modern Records was on a scouting trip when he caught Smiths act in The Orchid Room. He signed him up immediately and recorded several sessions, producing some classic tracks like "Telephone Blues" and "Blues In The Dark," the song that unleashed Smith's chromatic technique on the world. Smith often approached his solos by using his tongue-blocked octave technique to imitate horn section riffs (as opposed to copying the single notes of a soloist). This gave his playing incredible power. He also knew how to coax a variety of tonal shadings and subtle pitch variations out of a single note by combining bends and microphone manipulation. And he built suspense by phrasing his attack just behind the beat. As a result, his tunes swung relentlessly.

When both records began to sell well, Orchid Room owner Marty Graham arranged for Smith to travel on a Universal Attractions tour with Champion Jack Dupree and Little Willie John. They barnstormed the country, stopping off in Cincinnatti in November, 1955, to do a recording session. There, Smith recorded "Sharp Harp" and "Overhead Blues", as well as other songs as a sideman for Champion Jack Dupree. After that, it was on to Los Angeles, the city that was to be Smith's home for the rest of his life.

When the Univeral Attractions tour broke up in L.A., Smith found himself in a city with a comfortable climate, a large African-American population, and the home base for his record label. It's not surprising that he chose to settle there. Much of his style had already developed, and since the West Coast swing bands differed little from the swing bands of Kansas City, Smith found his whole horn section riffing approach worked well. He recorded another session for Bihari, this time with a horn section, producing "Cross-Eyed Suzie Lee" and "Down In New Orleans".

By this time, however, the rock 'n roll craze had begun to eat away at the sale of blues records, and Smith's tracks fared less well than before. Bihari dropped him from the label. Smith found himself hustling and scraping once more, only now he had a growing family to support. He made a string of recordings for any small label that would work with him: J & M, Lapel, Melker, Caddy, Carolyn and Sotoplay. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, Smith adopted a variety of monikers for these recordings, including The Harmonica King, Little Walter Junior and George Allen. He did the same thing for his live shows. Rod Piazza recalled, "When we played Watts, no one ever knew George as George Smith. He was Little Walter or Big Walter." This sort of subterfuge may have drawn more people to his live shows (Piazza himself thought he was going to see Big Walter Horton the first time he met Smith), but it made it impossible to establish a reputation under his own name.

In 1966, Smith was reunited with Muddy Waters for a second time, following James Cotton's departure. Smith moved back to Chicago, but this phase of his career, like his first with Muddy, lasted only a year or so - but long enough for Smith to record with Muddy's band for Victoria Spivey's label. Smith also played behind Otis Spann on a live set Bob Thiele recorded for Bluesway in 1966. Soon after, Smith returned to his family in Los Angeles, but he and Muddy remained on good terms, and when Little Walter died in 1968, Smith called on Muddy's band to support him on A Tribute To Little Walter on World Pacific Records. Smith covered number of Walter's tunes brilliantly, imposing his own style on many of them, but again, by making the album focus on another man's tunes, Smith deflected attention from himself.

Around this time, Smith encountered a young Rod Piazza, and the two went on to form The Southside Blues Band. By then, the first so-called blues revival was in full swing, with a growing white audience, and Smith's multiracial band stood poised to capitalize on it. The group toured nationally with Big Mama Thornton. Producer Bob Thiele assembled them for the fine 1969 album, ...Of The Blues, again on World Pacific. Smith's "Juicy Harmonica" from this session is an instrumental classic, and the chromatic workouts "Hawaiian Eye" and "Blues For Reverend King" are noteworthy, as well. At the turn of the decade, British producer Mike Vernon came along and signed the group to a European tour. He also changed the band's name to Bacon Fat. In 1970, Smith recorded No Time For Jive for Vernon, and a year later he returned to England and recorded Arkansas Trap. But despite his success in Europe, Smith still found it hard to get gigs at home.

The '70s also brought a decline in Smith's health. His heart condition began to deteriorate, but he did his best to remain active on the local scene. He recorded as a sideman for Eddie Taylor's Feel So Bad album on Advent and backed Big Mama Thornton on her 1976 Vanguard album. He befriended the late William Clarke and coached him on the chromatic harp. The two played together, and Clarke recalled how he and Smith would split their thirty-five dollar take at the end of the night. "He showed me: never play your audience cheap," Clarke said. He always put on a show and gave it his best - despite sometimes disappointing crowds and always disappointing pay. Smith's final recording project came in 1982.

He reunited with Piazza's band to cut Boogie'n With George for the Murray Bothers label. Although Smith would succumb to a heart attack months later, his playing and singing on Boogie'n With George is superb - and it's interesting to hear him stretch out on some different material like "Peg O' My Heart" (the old Harmonicats hit). From the jumping title track and "Sunbird" - which feature Smith's horn section approach - to the impassioned slow blues "Bad Start" and previously unreleased (and aptly named) "Last Chance," the Murray Brothers session smoked from start to finish. The session was to be Smith's last chance, unfortunately, as he suffered a heart attack and died on October 2, 1983. Now most of these tracks, sought after by collectors for years, along with some of Smith's output for Sotoplay in the '60s, are finally seeing the light of day on compact disc with the release of Blind Pig's Now You Can Talk About Me.

..Gentlemanly, well-played blues that suffers from covering songs so indelibly linked with their creators (Muddy Waters' "Mannish Boy," Freddie King's "It's Too Bad") that the band never develops its own identity. Vocalist/guitarist Ben Wilson acquits himself quite nicely with his fluid, melodic lead playing. Unfortunately, it never helps the band rise above the level of average.
(John Dougan - Allmusic)

The review is spot on as it would have been fun to see them live with a couple of beers but on vinyl they're very average. Has been re-released on Cd with 2 extra tracks.

I'd like to thank everyone who shared their software knowledge for ripping vinyl.
After trying Audacity ( far to complicated), Golden records (crap) and several others I chose Audio Cleaner Pro. I've been using it for years on the Pc and didn't know they had a Mac version until 2 days ago. For tagging I've going with Tagr and Kid3. Though Audio Cleaner can split files I'm still looking for something as good as " Spin it again" for splitting.

A huge problem with the latest Imac's is that there is no audio input which meant buying an Imic ($30) which uses a usb slot. The next problem, which almost brought me to tears of frustration, was that while ripping a record I could not monitor the sound. Try doing a decent rip if you can't hear what it sounds like. After hours of fiddling around, wondering if I'd made a mistake with a Mac, 2 bottles of cheap wine I finally called the help desk. This was a new problem for the help desk and after about 10 minutes he came up with a piece of free software called "linein" from Rouge Amoeba that might help. Installed it and and now I can monitor what I'm ripping. Makes me wonder why Apple doesn't supply the software already installed.

Harmonica Williams is my first Imac rip and I'd like to know what you think of it.Xyroshttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564093350797322784.post-3786480792118021542014-11-09T11:07:00.004+01:002014-11-09T11:24:54.136+01:00Harmonica Williams - With Little Freddie

I've just replaced my PC with a Mac and that has some consequences. One been that 20 plus years of Windows experience and software mean nothing anymore. Feel like a new born baby learning it's first steps into the world around it. Slowly coming to terms that what was logical is now the other way around, some things need 1 click extra. Sorting out the Mac software that I need and installing it takes time to do properly.
New posts, new links and requests will be look at soon.
If you have any suggestions as to vinyl ripping, audio restoration and tagging software that is affordable or free please let me know.Xyroshttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5564093350797322784.post-8417730148061412672014-10-27T09:59:00.000+01:002014-10-27T10:02:00.194+01:00Ray Sharpe - Texas Boogie Blues

The phrase "one-hit wonder" seems to have been invented for Texas blues and rockabilly artist Ray Sharpe. Best known for his 1959 dual market hit "Linda Lu," the singer-songwriter has parlayed interest in his early recordings into a solid following in domestic clubs and international festivals.
Described by the late producer Major Bill Smith as "the greatest white-sounding black dude ever," Sharpe's style encompasses all the best elements of early rock 'n' roll. As a singer-songwriter, he has mined Chuck Berry-type humor from the situations and wordplay in his songs. As a guitarist, he alternates snarling single note Albert King guitar bends with with twangy, free-flowing rockabilly. Moreover, after 40 years in the business, he manages to sound eternally fresh and youthful.

Got His Start in Fort Worth
Sharpe was born into a poor family split by divorce. One of his earliest memories is of living in a house without electricity or running water. The family's situation got marginally better when his mother relocated with her four children into a small apartment. A neighbor's radio first introduced Sharpe to the bluesy, big band sounds of T-Bone Walker, Pee Wee Crayton, and Lucky Millander. Yet, it was hearing such country-western icons as Jimmie Rodgers, Lefty Frizzell, and Hank Williams that inspired him to take up the guitar.
Young Sharpe worked as a janitor's assistant to earn the twenty-four dollars he needed to purchase his first guitar, a Stella. Once he became steady on the guitar, Sharpe played country music at high school talent shows, until he heard legendary bluesman Jimmy Reed's Vee Jay recording of "You Don't Have to Go." Reed's rudimentary style was easy to copy, and once the youngster learned it, he had all the building blocks he needed to make rock 'n' roll music.
The Sharpe family lived near a seedy bar called Cocoanut Grove. Undaunted by the bar's tough reputation, young Ray talked the owner into letting him play and sing for tips. He proved so popular that he was repeatedly asked back, and by the time he graduated from high school, music had become a lucrative alternative to training for a career as an interior decorator. Forming a band called Ray Sharpe and the Blues Wailers, he built up a good circuit of blues and rock gigs in and around the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The group briefly enjoyed a regular spot on KCUL radio, which catapulted them into one of the area's top nightspots, the Penguin Club.
Among Sharpe's early supporters were "Crying in the Chapel" tunesmith Artie Glenn and his son Darrel, who enjoyed a 1953 country hit with the song. Impressed by his Penguin Club performances, the Glenns offered Sharpe leftover time at Darrel Glenn's next session, in exchange for some guitar work. The deal yielded two strong demos, a rock 'n' roll instrumental titled "Presley" and a spirited R&B shuffle "That's The Way I Feel." The senior Glenn circulated the demo to music industry contacts, finally securing meaningful interest from independent producers Lester Sill and Lee Hazelwood.

"Linda Lu" Was a Big Hit
Two of the most important independent producers of their era, Hazelwood had already made a star of twangy-guitar master Duane Eddy, and the veteran Sill would eventually help Phil Spector form his ground-breaking Philles Records label. Together they saw possibilities in Sharpe, and brought him to Phoenix's Audio Sounds studios to re-cut "That's the Way I Feel," and a new song, "Oh My Baby's Gone." Today, this coupling is regarded by collectors and archivists as inspired Chuck Berry-styled rockabilly, blessed with the feel of Texas blues. However, in 1958 the Dot Records' subsidiary Hamilton Records was unable to sell the disc to the public.
Sill and Hazelwood still had faith in their young singer, and called him back to do the four-song session that was destined to jumpstart his career. Continuing in the style of his first release, Sharpe first recorded two self-penned originals, "Kewpie Doll" and "Monkey's Uncle," along with a sax-led shuffle version of the standard "Red Sails in the Sunset." He needed one more song to fill out the session.
"When I wrote 'Linda Lu' back in the 1950s, I didn't think much of it," Sharpe told Randy McNutt, author of We Wanna Boogie: The Illustrated History of the Rockabilly Movement. "A buddy of mine named Mike had asked me to write a song about his girlfriend, Linda, who used to come into the club to dance." He further recalled, "I wrote the song to rib her a little bit. You see she had a fascinating rear end, so to speak. When she danced, people watched." After playing the song in clubs, the singer forgot about it until his second recording session at Hamilton. "Then in the winter of 1958 I went to the Audio Sounds recording studio to make a record with Duane Eddy's band backing me up," Sharpe recalled. "My producer Lee Hazelwood, asked me if I had one more song to make four, and I was stuck. So I started playing 'Linda Lu" for him."
"Linda Lu," with it's half-stuttered phrasing and rhythmic guitar hook, was the perfect teen rocker. Coupled with "Red Sails in the Sunset," the song was leased to Jamie Records in Philadelphia. Initially the latter tune was considered the A-side, but once Dick Clark began playing "Linda Lu" on his American Bandstand TV program, there was no question as to which side was the hit. Eventually the record rose to number 46 on the pop charts and number eleven on the R&B charts. It might have garnered more success, but the Blues Wailers felt Sharpe would be abandoning them by playing with the customary local musicians on tour. As a result, without strong management to advise him, Sharpe bowed out of an East Coast package tour that would have surely spurred his record sales. Undeterred, producers Sill and Hazelwood capitalized on the record as best they could, replacing "Red Sails in the Sunset" with Sharpe's rocker "Monkey's Uncle," on which they held publishing rights. "Linda Lu" became something of a bar-band anthem in the United States, where it was covered by various acts, most notably blue-eyed soul rocker Wayne Cochran. In the United Kingdom, Johnny Kidd & the Pirates hit the British Top 50 with their version.

Returned to Texas Blues
Despite a strong rapport with producers Sill and Hazelwood, Sharpe was never able to conjure a follow-up hit to "Linda Lu." First-rate Chuck Berry-flavored teen rockers "Long John," "T.A. Blues," and "Gonna Let it Go This Time" were not successful. Eventually the singersongwriter's masters were shopped around to such small independent labels as Trey, Garex, and Gregmark, who reissued the artist's lone hit with an over-dubbed vocal chorus and called it "The New Linda Lu." This was also the title of a 1964 LP of Jamie sides and rock covers titled Welcome Back, Linda Lou. Although he was happy to finally have his own album out, the ploy didn't restore Sharpe's chart fortunes.
Sharpe returned to the Texas bar scene, where he earned a steady living playing his danceable mix of rock and blues. Occasionally, an opportunity with a big label would raise his hopes. A smart one-off single with Monument, "It's Too Cold," b/w "Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go," disappeared without a trace. The first of two raw and groovy soul singles with Atco, "Help Me Get the Feeling, Parts I & II," featured King Curtis's Orchestra and a young Jimi Hendrix on guitar. Best of all was the country soul number "Another Piece of the Puzzle," released by A&M in 1971. Pleading yet hopeful, the song should have signaled his mainstream reemergence, but didn't.
In an interview with Where Ya At, Sharpe tried to explain his career conundrum. "I wouldn't have called myself a blues singer but that's all I was doing in clubs. But they didn't record me because R&B was not happening in clubs. They were pursuing crossover artists, somebody that brought something different to the table. And the uniqueness with me is that I'm black but I sound white and play blues guitar. So they pitched me from one extreme to the other. I was never able to do some of the songs I wrote, like 'Justine' which had kind of a good funk/R&B thing to it."

Billy Branch: One memorable session that comes to mind was with Hayes Ware. You've heard of Hip Link Chain? For a few years Hayes played bass with Hip but he also played a little guitar. Hayes called me to do this project. The studio was right down the street from Theresa's. This old guy named Grover had a little basement studio. We had no rehearsal and this guy he played very rudimentary guitar but his songs were so original. Every time I play it for anyone, they always want a copy. The actual LP it's called Hayes Ware's Blues He Got A Woman. It is the funkiest sound and man you never heard a tone like I got in that studio. Never. This guy Grover was some kind of recording engineering genius. The tone of the harp is like the best of the tone of Sonny Boy on Chess Records. It's deep. That one was memorable because everything just fit. It was one of those magical moments. There were no rehearsals. Then you listen to it 20 years later and think damn that was some brilliant shit.

Doesn't get much funkier and low down than this gem.

Henry Brown left Tennessee for St. Louis, MO, at the age of 12 and took up the piano while still in school. His playing style, an economical form of piano blues, was taught to him by a Deep Morgan Street blues player known to the public only as "Blackmouth." Brown later worked with St. Louis Jimmy Oden and trombonist Ike Rogers; with Rogers and guitarist Lawrence Casey, he formed a trio called the Biddle Street Boys. He recorded sides (often in tandem with Rogers) with Mary Johnson, among others, in between playing in clubs around St. Louis, where he lived most of his life and worked regularly right up through the mid-'70s.
LP has been re-released on Cd with an extra track.

Filling a request from Gerard and I'll point you to his excellent blog for info on Menard Rogers.
I don't know if Menard packed the night clubs but this LP is a bit dodgy, a crap pressing and not for the blues fans out there but the track "Ain't nothing but a titty" is fun.

Possible "vampire" stars in the Milky Way's bulge are circled in green. Image courtesy ESA/NASA, W. Clarkson/IU/UCLA, and K. Sahu/STScI
Published June 9, 2011
The stellar version of vampires—stars that drain life away from other stars—have been discovered for the first time in the heart of our Milky Way galaxy.
(See Milky Way pictures in National Geographic magazine.)
Called blue stragglers, these cannibal stars have been spotted in other parts of the Milky Way. They seem to lag in age next to the other stars with which they formed—appearing hotter, and thus younger and bluer.
Astronomers suspect blue stragglers look so youthful because they've stolen hydrogen fuel from other stars, perhaps after colliding into their victims.
(See related picture: "'Cannibal' Galaxy Gets Fatter.")
These cannibal stars are routinely found in dense star clusters, where stars have many chances to feed off each other. Now, however, scientists have found blue stragglers in the Milky Way's galactic bulge, a dense region of stars and gas surrounding the galaxy's center.
"For a long time, it was suspected there were blue stragglers in the bulge, but no one knew how many there might be," said Will Clarkson, an astronomer at Indiana University Bloomington and the University of California, Los Angeles.
"At long last, we've shown they're there."
Milky Way Vampires Formed Differently?
Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers looked at 180,000 stars in and near the bulge. The team discovered 42 unusually blue stars that appeared much younger than the other stars.
(Also see "Galaxy 'Crumbs' Found in Milky Way—Proof of Recent Feeding.")
From these 42 stars, researchers estimate that 18 to 37 of them are likely real blue stragglers that are about 10 billion to 11 billion years old. The remainder may be genuinely young stars in the bulge, or stars not actually in the bulge.
It's also possible the blue stragglers did not form by slamming into other stars and absorbing extra hydrogen fuel, as occurs in other parts of the universe.
Instead, the blue stragglers in the galactic bulge may have formed by ripping hydrogen off their companion stars. This possibly occurred either when one star fed off its partner in a two-star system, or perhaps after gravitational interactions in a triple-star system had caused two of its members to merge into one.
"There's still a lot we don't know about the details of how blue stragglers form," Clarkson said.
"Finding them in the bulge provides another set of constraints that can help refine models of their formation."
Vampire-star findings presented May 25 at an American Astronomical Society meeting in Boston.

Less than half as much as you think, according to this recently published Cornell University snacking study. Using chocolate chips, apple pie, and potato chips, researchers Ellen van Kleef, Mitsuru Shimizu, and Brian Wansink designed a study to determine if people who were given smaller portions of snack foods would feel hungrier or satisfied fifteen minutes after eating. Smart snacking? Two groups with different portion sizes were tested. The larger portion size group was given 100g of chocolate, 200g of apple pie, and 80g of potato chips, all slightly larger than the recommended portion sizes. This equaled 5754 kilojoules in snack foods. The other group was given 10g, 40g, and 10g of these same foods respectively, for a total of 819 kilojoules. The two groups were given as much time to eat as needed, and were asked to fill out surveys to rate the liking, familiarity, and boredom with the food. They were also asked to rate their hunger and craving before the food was presented and fifteen minutes after the taste tests ended. Choose snacks in smaller portions The results remarkably showed that smaller portion sizes are capable of providing similar feelings of satisfaction as larger ones. Those given larger portions consumed 77% more food, amounting to 432 kilojoules more, but they did not feel any appetite enhancing or stronger feelings of satiety than the group with the smaller portions. Overall these findings reflect the importance of portion size. While larger portions result in increased food intake, smaller portions may make you feel equally satisfied. The smaller portions can lead to a decline in hunger and desire that would help people limit their food intake. So, next time you are craving a snack food, remember that you can feel similarly satisfied with one handful as you would with two!

West End Cinema is located in the heart of Washington, DC's West End neighborhood, on 23rd Street, NW between M & N streets, in the same building as Soul Cycle and Kaiser Permanente. We're two blocks north of George Washington University; three blocks southwest of Dupont Circle; and four blocks east of Georgetown. ** Even though our official address says "M Street," our entrance is on 23rd Street!**
By Public Transportation
We're just three blocks north of the Foggy Bottom/GWU Metro stop on the Orange, Blue and Silver lines, and six blocks from the Dupont Circle stop on the Red line. The Circulator runs right by us, with stops at 24th & M and 22nd and Pennsylvania. Also, the N3, L1, and H1 buses all stop at 22nd and New Hampshire.
By Car
NEW DISCOUNT PARKING OPTION! Our friends at the Marriott hotel on 22nd Street just north of M (next to Walgreen's) are now offering West End Cinema customers garage parking for just $14 for up to three hours! While that's not as good a free parking, it is very, very reasonable for this neighborhood. Note: After three hours, regular rates apply. Remember to bring your receipt with you when you go to pick up your car! As always, there is NO PARKING available in the lot in our building. There is also metered street parking available, but please don't ask us about them -- we are as baffled as you are!

November 28, 2014
It's a work in progress.
Wood County 911 dispatchers are still trying to get comfortable with technology changes.
The changes in the dispatching system were installed in August.
9-1-1 director Randy Lowe says the system's vendor will be in town next week for more training and to make some changes in the system.
Lowe adds the problems aren't unusual.
"We installed new equipment in 2007 and 2008," he says. "It was a few months transition for dispatchers to get used to that equipment at that time. So this is not unexpected."
Lowe also mentions that before it was installed, the new system was favored by most dispatchers over other alternatives.
He says there have been no public complaints about it.
Taking their equipment to the next level, they make sure the people of Wood County have the very best safety measures in place.
With technology's seven-year odyssey, Wood County 911 is ready for a change.
"Along with the fact that the hardware is starting to get old and has the potential of failing," says Executive Director Randy Lowe.
The telephone system goes cutting edge.
"Our 911 lines, our administrative lines that ring in to the dispatchers and we are also upgrading our CAD, which is computer aided dispatching," Lowe says. "This allows the dispatchers to be a lot more efficient in assisting not only the callers but also the public safety agencies."
Price tag -- about $383,000.
"We're fortunate that we saved up enough money in our reserves to be able to handle the complete cost. We were also very fortunate in the fact that Wirt County gave us $192,000 to help," Lowe says.
The center is nationally recognized for their efficiency.
"But that doesn't mean that we can't become more efficient," Lowe says. "It doesn't mean that we can't face adversity at some point in time and we need to be able to overcome that adversity. This equipment will help us accomplish that."
This latest technology keeps the 911 center up-to-date, efficient and reliable, able to look out for the people they serve.

Associated Press
CHICAGO — President Barack Obama's support for gun control has its roots in a hometown plagued by deadly shootings — a city, he said Friday, where as many children die from guns every four months as were slaughtered at Sandy Hook school in Connecticut.
Obama told a Chicago audience that high-profile mass shootings are one part of a national tragedy created not just by guns but by communities where there is too little hope. As a result, he said, "too many of our children are being taking away from us."
It was an emotional return to a city whose recent shooting victims have included Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old drum majorette gunned down a mile from Obama's Chicago home just days after she performed at the president's inauguration in Washington.
Standing before Hyde Park Academy students in their navy uniform shirts, the president said 65 children were killed by gun violence last year in Chicago. "That's the equivalent of a Newtown every four months," Obama said. Twenty children were among the dead in the Newtown massacre.
"This is not just a gun issue," Obama said. "It's also an issue of the kinds of communities that we're building, and for that we all share responsibility as citizens to fix it. We all share a responsibility to move this country closer to our founding vision, that no matter who you were or where you come from, here in America, you can decide your own destiny."
Obama was a reliable vote in favor of gun control as a state senator in the late 1990s, with one important exception that contributed to his only electoral loss. While running for the Democratic primary for a House seat in 1999, Obama missed a vote on a gun control measure that narrowly failed, an episode that he later said cost him any chance to win.
The lesson for the future president: Don't sit idly by in reaction to gun violence.
Obama appears to have taken that lesson to heart. Gun control was not on his agenda in his first term, but the president responded quickly to the Newtown shooting in December. He is pushing measures including background checks for all gun purchases and a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines, even as both sides in the debate doubt he'll be able to achieve the full package.
"These proposals deserve a vote in Congress," Obama said in his Hyde Park Academy visit. It's rhetoric he also used in the State of the Union address Tuesday.

Immediate Crisis Response - Overview
UNDP works to help ensure that the humanitarian response to the emergency also contributes to longer-term development objectives and more resilient communities, laying the best possible ground work for development work beyond the immediate emergency; and helping people move from humanitarian dependency to self-sufficiency as soon as possible.UNDP works to help ensure that the humanitarian response to the emergency also contributes to longer-term development objectives and more resilient communities, laying the best possible ground work for development work beyond the immediate emergency; and helping people move from humanitarian dependency to self-sufficiency as soon as possible.
UNDP ensures public services are functioning as early as possible; affected people are given emergency employment, an income, and trained in construction techniques and other skills to start the process of rebuilding infrastructure and removing rubble; and small businesses are given start up grants, financing and other help to keep communities viable and functioning.
UNDP advisors also work with and train local public servants to make sure that the buildings, infrastructure and communities being reconstructed meet a minimal code of disaster resistance, and that where possible, the underlying triggers of a conflict or disaster are addressed.
UNDP's immediate crisis response package:
- Emergency employment, start-up grants and loans to recapitalize local businesses
- Community infrastructure rehabilitation, to improve access to basic services as well as revitalize the local economy
- Debris management, to ease access and rebuild infrastructure
- Local governance support, strengthening local government capacity for relief and recovery planning, coordination and implementation, improving the capacity for local risk management
