From next year olive oil "presented at a restaurant table" must be in pre-packaged, factory bottles with a tamper-proof dispensing nozzle and labelling in line with EU industrial standards.
The use of classic, refillable glass jugs or glazed terracotta dipping bowls and the choice of a restaurateur to buy olive oil from a small artisan producer or family business will be outlawed.
For the children, of course.
That's hilariously bad. I do so love it when Eurocrats do self-parody.
Think Sam Clark is voting UKIP in the next election?
Hey jesse, it's BIG GAY DAY in Long Beach today! Grab your assless chaps and come on down and join the festivities!
I've never actually been down for the parade. Every time I've gone to the festival I wander around a bit, decide I really want a Utilikilt, realize it's a lot of money for something I don't really want, and go home.
I'm planning on passing this year.
Why the fuck are those utilikilts so damn expensive?
It's basically like a pair of one-legged cargo shorts.
I dunno, but I'm a cheapskate when it comes to clothes so a utilikilt is just not something I can wrap my head around buying. Especially since I don't see myself wearing it very often.
"Assless chaps" gives a better mental image.
An idiot chimes in:
what if you know for a fact that the burglar is unarmed, would you kill him?
a burglar could be a father who is unemployed and at his wits end at finding options to provide for his starving family. Not every burglar is a violent, armed psychotic rapist.
First of all, no one in this country starves to death, unless someone is coercively starving them. Secondly, really? What the fuck man?
Every news story on youtube about a homeowner defending themselves is littered with comments of this type of idiocy. "What if the burglar was just desperate because his job was outsourced and he needed to feed his family!?"
I like that the invaders were dumb enough to lock the guy in a closet in Texas. I would assume that every closet in Texas contains a firearm.
It'd be a good life lesson for his son: don't turn to burglary.
Every news story on youtube about a homeowner defending themselves is littered with comments of this type of idiocy. "What if the burglar was just desperate because his job was outsourced and he needed to feed his family!?"
The correct response is:
"I don't care. You break into my house, you die. PERIOD!"
what if you know for a fact that the burglar is unarmed, would you kill him?
What a preposterous straw man. In what conceivable scenario could you know this for a fact?
It's just like the 'what if he's a loving father whose family is starving?!?' Well, how the hell would I know if that's the case? What if he's a serial killer there to murder my whole family?
You shouldn't put your family at risk based on the possibility that a home invader doesn't mean you any harm.
Generally speaking, burglars who don't mean anyone harm try to break in when no one is home. If they are purposely breaking in when you're home, there is an extremely high risk that they mean you harm.
"Don't mean anyone harm" is an intentionally vague reference. It could mean anything from, "not a serial killer intending to kill your whole family" to "someone dumb enough to think violence might no break out during a burglary". But the fair bet is, "someone willing to hurt me and mine". And you're not to be blamed for acting accordingly.
I fully support Red Eye's "Put the woman at the end so we can see her legs" idea.
"This is not about ideology or politics," Harris said. "It is a false choice to suggest you are either in support of the Second Amendment or in favor of reasonable gun safety rules. We can do both."
Harris said her department has seized more than 10,000 firearms under the law and recently received an additional $24 million to expand its efforts.
This is the program that gun-grabbers are hoping to be the future on a national level. Of course, the hard part will be getting nationalized health services to diagnose gun owners as mentally ill. Oh wait...
They leave out that they visit the homes of gun owners that are related to convicts or the "mentally ill" and bully their way in to confiscate the weapons. One story I read was of a man whose wife once went under 72 hour observation for depression. They took his guns and not only will he not ever get them back, but he is most likely banned from ever buying another firearm.
Leaving aside the facts that the mentally ill commit less violent crime than the population at large, and that defining mentally ill is subjective, at best, this practice is a huge move into what us "crazies" have been warning about for years.
Give 'em Hell, Gillespie.
Did Obama miss the whole week they talked about the American Revolution in High School?
Trust government...
I think that was the founder's motto.
But he's a constitutional scholar!
In re, the president's commencement address:
Aren't "self-rule" and "democracy" two mutually exclusive terms? The whole point of democracy is being ruled by others, and I'd argue that it would be more accurately termed "mass-rule".
Why don't you do this for when Kennedy is on?
She actually talks and doesn't just mumble.
I'm working on a 3D printer model to print a 3D printer. Anyone see a problem with that?

The application for a resort casino in Milford has taken on a new face: Foxwoods.
Foxwoods Resort Casino has joined on to the Crossroads Massachusetts application as a full partner, according to a report Sunday in The Boston Globe.
Scott Butera, chief executive of Foxwoods, told the Globe the Milford location would not compete with the resort in Ledyard, CT, and would be the best candidate for the metro Boston casino license.
The shift in partners comes as the application made by David Nunes is before the Massachusetts Gaming Commission for a Phase I review, which evaluates the finances of the applicants, and whether they have the appropriate integrity for the project. This will include a background investigation of key employees and investors, according to the state commission.
An overview of the applications released by the Gaming Commission on Jan. 15, the deadline date, named Warner Gaming as the sole partner for the Crossroads Massachusetts effort. The full application has not yet been released to the public.
Elaine Driscoll, a spokeswoman for the Gaming Commission, said Monday nothing prevents an applicant from adding a new partner, either for operating the gaming facility or for financing.
"Anybody that's newly identified still needs to go through the extensive background process," she said.
At this point, she said, several of the applicants are still in the process of identifying partners.
a group that is organizing opposition to the Milford location, shared the Boston Globe report among its followers Sunday. Ken Rockett, an organizer of the group, said he felt the involvement of Foxwoods would strengthen the casino application for Phase I.
"It's a known player," he said. And as best he could determine, Foxwoods "has deeper pockets. It only strengthens their application."
Crossroads Massachusetts is competing with two applications in the Boston metro area for the single license available in the Boston to Worcester region. The competitors are a plan by eight partners, including Ceasars Entertainment, to redevelop Suffolk Downs in East Boston, and another by Wynn Resorts to redevelop an industrial site in Everett.

Australian National University vice-chancellor professor Ian Young has been elected chair of the Group of Eight (Go8).
The Go8 coalition of Australian universities, including ANU, aims to promote collaboration, expand student opportunities and influence policymakers.
Young says he is looking forward to taking up the post in January. "The Group of Eight plays an incredibly important role in influencing national polices for high education and research," he says. "And this role plays a key part in that.
"I am also delighted that I will play a bigger part in strengthening collaboration between Australia's leading research universities."
ANU chancellor professor Gareth Evans says, "Young's election as Go8 chair recognises his outstanding reputation as a higher education and research leader. He is enormously admired throughout the sector for his clear-sighted, strategic commitment to excellence, and capacity to match vision with delivery.
"To win the unanimous support of his colleagues so early in his term as a Go8 vice-chancellor is a great personal compliment, and a real feather in the university's cap.
"I know that council members, staff and students will want to join me in offering him our warmest congratulations."

The 18th annual featured 20 boats floating through Patchogue River and was watched by thousands of specators along the waterfront on Sunday evening.
For the first time, two boats participated in tandem under the same theme, with "The Grinch That Stole Christmas."
Santa Claus made an appearance at the parade guided by his reindeers. He landed at terminal where he passed out candy canes to children.
The parade was judged by Dennis Smith, Lori Belmonte, Stephen McGiff and Gerard Crean. Commentary was provided by Ed Travers, and the event was webcast on the Patchogue Riverfront Committee's website and in several Patchogue restaurants in businesses via .
Winners of the parade contests received a trophy.
Browse the photos above for highlights from the parade. The parade broadcast from the Patchogue Riverfront Committee is embedded as well. Check back to see more photos added to this gallery. Have your own photos from the event? Add them to the gallery.

On Thursday evening last (that's the 18th of February) there was a 'braai' here in Johannesburg Backpackers. 'Braai' is South African (well, Afrikaans really) for barbecue. The reason for this? It was one of the guest's birthday, Thera.
Festivities began at around 8pm. Among others there was the birthday girl's boyfriend, Casper, a South African guy Martin (he cooked all the meat), Katie and Janelle, an English and Aussie girl, and lots of staff from the hostel.
I ate a lot of meat. Lots. I also played guitar hero for the first time, and invented a shot. I called it the Kaizer Chief. It wasn't very nice if I'm honest. But then what shots are? Anyway, it was a good night but I had 'a bit of a head on me' the next day as we'd say back home.

Are two Kim Kardashian's better than one? This seems to be an odd question until you consider a recent Twitter post from Kim. Yep, Ms. Kardashian would like everyone to take a good look at her... all both of her.
So, it seems that one picture of Kim in a white bikini isn't good enough. No, Kardashian had to give herself the old mirror image treatment. Yep, fans will love the sexy socialite in a skimpy bikini. Others will look at this picture and think they are seeing double.
Of course Kim Kardashian added a little text with a the photo saying: "Double trouble."
Double trouble, eh? Is Kim actually admitting that she is trouble in the first place? Look, it isn't as if she isn't trying to run soon to be ex-husband Kris Humphries through the meat grinder following their 72-day marriage.
Still, Kim exudes plenty of confidence to keep posting half-naked pictures of herself on Twitter. Of course, when regular people do that, it may get their profile flagged for inappropriate images. Still, this is Ms. Kardashian, she can do what she pleases... times two.

text: Post-Gazette reporter Ed Bouchette wrote Sunday QBs Charlie Batch and Jerrod Johnson will back-up starter Ben Roethlisberger in tonight's primetime game against Indianapolis in Pittsburgh. Byron Leftwich will not play. Leftwich got an extended look in Pittsburgh's preseason-opening loss to Philadelphia Aug. 9, and after taking a shot to the head by Eagles CB Domonique Rodgers-Cromartie (a hit that cost him $21,000), perhaps the Steelers decided it was a better time to give him a break. More likely, it's just a competition between Batch and Johnson for the team's third quarterback position. Johnson made some poor throws against Philadelphia, but only attempted six passes, largely due to a shaky offensive line that surrendered pressure on nearly every drop back all three quarterbacks had in the game.

Looking for the NETGEAR CGD24G default password? You probably have little reason to access your router on a regular basis so don't feel too bad if you've forgotten the CGD24G default password.
However, when you're troubleshooting a network problem and need to get in to the device, the CGD24G default password suddenly becomes very important.
For most versions of the NETGEAR CGD24G, the default password is password. As with most passwords, the CGD24G default password is case sensitive.
In addition to the CGD24G default password, you can also see the CGD24G default username and CGD24G default IP address in the table below.
Note: The NETGEAR CGD24G default password may be different for certain hardware or firmware versions.
If I have that information, I'll include the exact CGD24G version number along with the correct default password. You can usually find your NETGEAR CGD24G version number on the bottom of the router.
Be sure to change the default router password on your CGD24G to something more secure as soon as you're in. Then use a free password manager so you'll never forget your new CGD24G password.
Help! The CGD24G Default Password Doesn't Work!
At some point during the life of your particular NETGEAR CGD24G, the default password, username, and/or IP address might have been changed.
In most cases, if the NETGEAR CGD24G default IP address has been changed, the new IP address for the CGD24G will be the same as the default gateway IP address configured for your network connection.
See How To Find the Default Gateway IP Address for help.
In situations where the CGD24G default password or CGD24G default username has changed, you'll need to reset the NETGEAR CGD24G to factory defaults. You can usually do that via a special button or sequence of actions.
The CGD24G manual will have specific directions for performing a factory default reset. You can download the manual for the CGD24G from NETGEAR Support.
Please let me know if any of the CGD24G default login data below needs updated. For other questions about the CGD24G default information on this page, see my Default Password FAQ.
CGD24G Default Password & Other Default Login Data

Proclaiming that flydubai is "ready for business" the low-cost carrier today announced plans to launch new business class services on the ground and in the air, including adding 12 premium seats to its Boeing 737-800s as well as airport lounge privileges.
Driven by passenger "feedback", the move represents a major shift in business strategy for flydubai, which has offered all-economy seating – and an 'a la carte' unbundled product – since its inception in 2009.
Company CEO Ghaith Al Ghaith says the introduction of business class – which will give customers access to faster check-in, larger leather seats with 42-in pitch, 12.1-in high def touch-screen IFE monitors and a variety of internationally-inspired menus – represents an "evolution of our passenger offering as we continue to meet the travel needs of our customers".
He adds that flydubai's "agility and flexibility has been an integral part of our young airline's journey since its launch four years ago".
At present, flydubai's 30-strong 737s are fitted with 189 economy class seats manufactured by Recaro. New aircraft go straight from Boeing to Everett-based Aviation Technical Services (ATS), where the seats and Lumexis' award winning, fibre optics-based IFE system are installed post-delivery.
Starting in August of this year, flydubai will take its first 737 with 12 business class seats configured in a 2-2 formation. This will reduce the carrier's economy inventory to 162 seats. All new aircraft subsequently delivered will include business and economy classes (a total of four 737s are scheduled to be delivered during the remainder of 2013). Retrofit of the current fleet will start in September.
Italian firm Geven worked with flydubai to customise its new Comoda business class seat – with two-tone Italian leather and lumbar support – for launch customer flydubai. Geven recently confirmed to the APEX editor's blog that five airlines have ordered Comoda; flydubai was listed as an undisclosed customer until today.
It is not immediately clear if flydubai is pressing Boeing to make both the Lumexis seat-back IFE system and Geven Comoda seat line-fit offerable on the 737. The carrier's current green field retrofits are performed at ATS because the Lumexis system is awaiting offerability.
Meanwhile, business class fares on flydubai will also include: a dedicated and highly-trained cabin crew member; premium catering services including cold food and accompaniments on short flights, and the option of a three-course meal on flights of 90 minutes and above; priority check-in located one minute or just 120 paces from the car park at Terminal 2, Dubai International Airport; priority baggage collection upon arrival at destination; a dedicated customer service team, which will be available 24/7; and access to flydubai's new business class lounge in Terminal 2 later this year.
Routes with business class service will be announced – and tickets go on sale – in August. The business class seats will be available on select flights from the beginning of October.
The airline also says it will launch a new catering option for economy class customers, in the near future. Passengers can pre-select their meal and order online up to 48 hours before departure.
A press conference is being held today by flydubai. This article will be updated as and when more details become available.

Rick Ross and the MMG crew made their way back to the HOT 97 Morning Show and brought some bubbly with them to celebrate their new album, Self Made 3 which will hit stores on September 17th.
Old Man Ebro and Laura Stylez asked Ross about his new endeavors, the state of hip hop music, and his thoughts on Gucci Mane's latest Twitter rant.
Meek Mill also addressed his beef with Cassidy, and of course, Kendrick Lamar's controversial "Control" verse:

Yamaha DTX540K is an all new electronic drum kit for 2011 designed to replace DTXpress IV Special. Yamaha DTX540K is one of an extensive range of new DTX electronic drum kits that deliver the legendary Yamaha sound quality, feel and playability of acoustic drums. DTX540K also features DTX-PAD, which sets the new standard in electronic drum pads, providing drummers with a pad that is exceptionally quiet. Yamaha have teamed up with the world's top drummers to satisfy their demanding sense of perfection. This next generation drum pad allows for true development of acoustic drumming techniques. DTX540 Kit uses the DTX-PAD for the snare, toms and floor tom. You will see definite results in your drumming from every practice session with the Yamaha DTX540K.
Yamaha DTX500 drum trigger module features Yamaha's high-quality tone generator with realistic acoustic drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. You get the sounds of hi-end oak, maple, beech and birch drums, with details like velocity-switching samples (that changes sound characteristic as you play harder) so you will feel like you are listening to a "live" set of drums. The 50 preset kits are ready for you to perform a wide range of music styles, and you can select your favorite sounds to create custom user kits, and add digital reverb effects and master EQ to sweeten the sound. While the DTX-PADs provide an authentic drum feel, the DTX500 drum trigger module provides you with amazingly realistic drum sounds. Using digital sound technology derived from the MOTIF ES synthesizer, these instruments come alive from under your sticks, directly responding to your dynamic performance with full musical expression.
DTX540K features inbuilt songs that let you play along in different styles with or without the recorded drum track, solo the bass player, or with the full ensemble to make playing fun and practicing seem more like a band rehearsal. Yamaha's popular groove tools have set the standard for educational functions that are not only easy and fun to use, but actually help you become a better drummer. DTX540K has a collection of training functions including the popular Groove Check that displays whether you are playing early or late, so you can more easily correct undesirable habits. Rhythm Gate is like a drumming game that automatically mutes the sound if you playing is too far out of time, so you quickly learn to control your groove and play "in the pocket". Practice has never been this much fun.
The cymbals of the DTX540K feature Yamaha's advanced 3-zone cymbal pads which can express a different sound in each of the cup, bow and edge zones.The DTX540K features a hi-hat system that uses a remote hi-hat pedal controller and trigger pad to provide realistic hi-hat expression. Yamaha DTX540K Kit gives you peace of mind, you can expand by adding up to four pads if you want more toms, cymbals or a double-bass configuration. All kinds of upgrades including support for the DTX-PADs are possible. The RS500 rack for the DTX540K uses curved steel pipes for a compact setup that offers durable stability, and features a ball clamp that lets you precisely position the snare pad.
The Yamaha FP-DS2 is the ideal accessory for the Yamaha DTXpress, or Roland V-Drum range of electronic drum kits. The FPDS2 comprises a drum throne and bass drum pedal.

CNN and other news outlets are reporting that masked gunmen invaded a rented beach home outside Acapulco, Mexico, on Monday, tying up the male renters and raping six Spanish female renters.
While the United States Department of State considers the tourist areas of Acapulco to be relatively safe, according to its most recent Travel Warning for Mexico, the Mexican state of Guerrero (where Acapulco is located) is known for its organized crime problems. Police are still investigating Monday's assault, although they do not believe the attack is connected to a criminal organization.
Mexico is a very large country, however, and there are many areas that are both safe and welcoming. If you are concerned about Mexico travel safety, your best defenses are research and awareness. Find out which places to avoid before you book your trip, choose safe places to visit and stay alert while you travel.

In regard to your recent item concerning travel to Mexico, I have been traveling to the Mazatlan area for 25 years and thus far have encountered no problems. The beaches are beautiful and the people warm and welcoming.

I first traveled to Mexico in 1963 when I was in the US Army. Since then I have been to Mexico countless times. I have enjoyed the people, the ambience, the history and the food in Mexico but no more. My wife and I will be vacationing in the Caribbean this year instead. Yes…it has crime but the crime/drug culture prevalent in Mexico is less in the Caribbean and I want to feel safe when traveling.
I have many wonderful memories of Mexico (including sleeping on the beach in Mazatlan during a rainstorm) but until the crime rate is reduced, I won't be going back.

Happy Holidays everyone!
I apologize for some of the technical problems we've had the past couple of days on the blogs. I don't know exactly the issues, but Atomic City Underground was down for a while and I was unable to post new items.
Thanks for all the support over the past year. I've gotten lots of positive feedback and a growing readership. That's a great trend.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. I'll be off work for the next week or so, but I'll continue to post a few items (there's a backlog). It'll be a New Year soon. Rest up. That's my plan.

Ben Goldberg Goes Low: Update
I'm double-posting this, just because the original post is so far down the queue by now…
Here's a sample of Ben Goldberg's new band, Unfold Ordinary Mind. It's been on Soundcloud for a month, but I didn't think to check; thanks to Ben for pointing it out.
The song is apparently called "xcpf." It's a nice tune, with Nels Cline in rhythm mode at first and in slinky layered effects mode later. In between, the two saxes and Nels' guitar all criss-cross with simultaneous melodic soloing while Goldberg, as promised, holds down the bass.
[UPDATE 2/1/13: That track got removed, but here's another one, called "Stemwinder," more of a ballad.]

New Monsters
I like that Steve Horowitz's band, New Monsters, has a couple of gigs coming up. It's a jazz jazz band, and while all ensembles strengthen as they do more live shows, jazz feels like it would get even more benefit.
They're playing Saturday, Sep. 15 (tonight!) at Jazzschool in Berkeley ….. and Sunday, Sept. 23, at Bird & Beckett Books in a quiet corner of San Francisco.
(For more about Bird & Beckett, see here.)
I've mentioned them before, here. New Monsters is a mix of traditional jazz structure; free-jazz soloing and harmony ideas; and the goofy sense of humor of composer Dan Plonsey. The band's leader is actually Horowitz, the bassist, but Plonsey writes the tunes. Exactly what that means, I don't know. Maybe it means everything gets blamed on Horowitz, or maybe it means he keeps Plonsey locked in a closet for marathon songwriting sessions.
It's not straight straight jazz, as you can tell from Scott Looney's inside-the-piano intro on "Miracle Melancholy." And Plonsey's writing is always a few steps away from the jazz mainstream. The songs here are chipper and mellifluous, quite accessible, but in place of jazz-sounding themes, they've often got a sound closer to really complex children's music. It's fun without being pandering.
You can sample their self-titled album at Posi-Tone Records or on eMusic (you don't have to be a subscriber). While you're at it, you can also get a dose of Horowitz and Plonsey's sense of humor by listening to them in The Instant Composers Group, which includes Dave Barrett of Splatter Trio and really deserves a writeup of its own.
The Supplicants and Amnesia's Jazz All-Stars
The San Francisco Offside Festival wound up in fine fashion the night of May 26, playing to a packed crowd.
Which was nice. A lot of work went into this first-time festival, so it's good to see that the local audience responded. The crowd was enthusiastic, and organizers Laura Maguire and Alex Pinto were encouraged enough to pledge to do it again in 2013.
The Supplicants closed things out — a sax/bass/drums trio playing improvised jazz in a post-Coltrane spirit. It's true that a few people started leaving by then, maybe in response to the less "tuneful" sounds as well as the fact that it was approaching midnight. I was still impressed with the number who stayed — the house still felt full, but with more elbow room — and they showed lots of excitement for each of the four pieces the group played.
David Boyce on sax was the center of attention, of course, coloring each piece with flurries of notes in a studious sheets-of-sound mode before getting into long, keening cries, passionate wails out to the jazz gods. His stage presence is bookish and reserved, but he opened up the audience early on with a crack about the lowness of the room's ceiling — I didn't quite catch it, but it got a laugh and probably helped humanize the set for the unconverted among us.
David Ewell on bass defined the starting mood much of the time, usually settling into a riff to set up a jamming space. Hamir Atwal on drums was apparently a sit-in but did fine work; he, too, set up the moods for Boyce's saxophone odysseys and seemed like a great fit for the flow of the music.
The pieces didn't feel that long, maybe seven or eight minutes. The free-form music might have taxed a few folks' patience, but overall, I think the band really connected with the audience.
The Klaxon Mutant Jazz All-Stars preceded The Supplicants and were quite a hit. This was a pickup band organized by drummer Eric Garland, who's been playing Wednesday nights at Amnesia with a variety of musicians. They played one another's compositions, showing off some clever writing and of course some crack musicianship. They had a casual, warm stage presence and brought a real sense of fun to their music.
The tunes weren't ordinary jazz fare. They started off with one of Garland's that I think added up to 4/4 time but had the sax and trumpet playing a beat or two off from the rhythm section, creating two pieces intertwining in a non-intuitive way. It was a nice effect and also catchy. Subsequent songs would play similar tricks with rhythm, keeping us on our toes.
Trumpeter Henry Hung had one composition called "Jamie Moyer" — the only song title I remember, because I got the joke. Moyer is a 49-year-old major league pitcher (that's forty-nine) who's known for a slow fastball that, for whatever reason, can be unhittable. The song, towards the end, appropriately playing with that, alternating on a rhythm played fast and then slow, with each slow part slower than the last. It got some laughs, even from the non-baseball fans. (Shortly after the show, the Colorado Rockies began the process of cutting Moyer, but his fastball is immortalized in a passage of the book Moneyball.)
I missed Secret Sidewalk, which had opened the evening and apparently put on an amazing show.
BayTaper was apparently there, so some recordings might be available online eventually. Meantime, you can catch a full Festival post-mortem at Untapped SF, complete with pictures. (I'd forgotten my camera.)
Big thanks to Laura and Alex for getting this whole thing put together. Here's hoping it's the first SF Offside of many.
Offside Festival Winds Up Tonight
What I like about the site for the San Francisco Offside Festival — a local-jazz showcase that ends Saturday night — are the little interviews with the bands. They've done a good job putting together a blog that introduces the artists by having them answer a fixed set of questions, then introduces their music and their influences via YouTube and Vimeo clips.
I like the answer Lisa Mezzacappa gave about being on the road. "Behold the glamor!"
I've been mostly underwater for the month of May, out of town for two weeks, shuttered away in work for a third. I did get to see some music in New York (oh yes), which was a nice break, but haven't had time for anything while in town. Tonight is my last chance, and yours, to get in on the fun.
The lineup — with links that go back to the SF Offside blog is:
- Secret Sidewalk (three synths, sax, and drums — this is going to be different)
- Klaxon Mutant Jazz All-Stars (a more traditional-lineup quintet, but they're fans of Kneebody, so this should be lively)
- The Supplicants (longtime sax/bass/drums trio). BayTaper.com has an excellent little record of a 2010 show at the Red Poppy Art House, complete with video.
The venue is Viracocha, in the Mission District.
Do check out the SF Offside site; it's got press clips and information about tickets. They've put an impressive amount of work into this. Should be a great show tonight.
Bristle & New Monsters, Part 2
Here's Part 1. New Monsters will be at El Valenciano (San Francisco) Thursday night, April 19, playing alongside Bristle and the newest band from trumpter Darren Johnston, Northern Eclipse.
New Monsters — New Monsters (Posi-Tone, 2011)
Posi-Tone is an interesting choice of label, for this album, because theirs seems to be a more retro style of jazz, recalling bachelor pads, NYC jazz clubs, and bands in suits.
Some parts of New Monsters fits that mold. "Imperfect Life" opens the album with a simple, declarative melody that reflects popular late '50s jazz. You've also got a fast cover of Coltrane's "India" leading into Eric Dolphy's "The Red Planet."
But there's free jazz in the details. The title track opens with a nice piano lick and slips into a nice alto-sax solo from Steve Adams fronting the ensemble, with liquid bass and comforting chords. But a second sax solo, Dan Plonsey on tenor, comes with just drums behind it and crosses into more aggressive, free-jazz jamming.
That's the sound of New Monsters. The group displays a love of tuneful jazz and injects it with the occasional shot of adventure from a later time, showing off influences from Ornette and beyond.
It's apparently bassist Steve Horowitz's band, but the compositions are by Plonsey, an East Bay stalwart whose work has touched on traditional jazz, Braxton-style "trance" pieces, and free improv. He's also got quite a sense of humor, which is an important element in everything he writes. Two tracks on here are "Brains for Breakfast" and "Herald of Zombies," and I'm pretty sure those aren't standards.
Plonsey has a knack for toe-tappers with a sense of adventure. "Dragon of Roses," for instance, is an ultra-pleasant ditty built on a relatively simple rhythms, but Plonsey's sax solo barrels through the 4/4 time with intentional bullishness. Come to think of it, it seems Plonsey takes the more crazed solos while Adams, who normally gets all abstract with the ROVA Saxophone Quartet, seems to revel in playing it more straight.
Scott Looney on piano is a big part of the band, contributing tasteful comping that adds sneaky dissonances where he can get away with it. He also gets some chances to goof around with prepared piano, particularly on "Vision Pyramid Collapse," where it sounds like he uses metal bowls to produce some catchy twanging to go along with the sliding swing of the theme. It's one of my favorite moments on the album. As for other adventurous moments, the group gets more overtly "out there" on "Cylinder," which is catchy and cartoony but is built in a twisty structure of "off" meters.
Plonsey's web page lists a few reviews of the album, including one from ejazznews that I liked.
Put this group together with Bristle and the Darren Johnston band mentioned above, and you've probably got one heck of a great night of jazz. Should be a fun show.
Finally, and randomly, here's a common theme tying Bristle and New Monsters: Randy McKean (Bristle) and Dan Plonsey (New Monsters) played together in the '90s and were half of the Great Circle Saxophone Quartet, which put out an album, Child King Dictator Fool, in 1997.
Bay Area Shows: Dec. 29 and Jan. 2
The Christmas/New Year's zone can be like a post-apocalyptic wasteland for music shows, but there are always a few dedicated presenters who damn the torpedoes and put on shows anyway. They'd love to see you, I'm sure.
Daniel Popsicle @ Berkeley Arts Festival (2133 University Ave., Berkeley), Thur. Dec. 29, 7:00 p.m.
….. I've seen Dan Plonsey a few times in the past couple of years, but I haven't seen a Daniel Popsicle show. The band was more like a mini concert orchestra a few years ago, performing Plonsey's long, episodic compositions that were like Braxton's Ghost Trance Music made less strident and more melodic. I don't know what Plonsey's "Music of El Cerrito" group has in store this time, but they'll apparently include some music from New Monsters, the sunny avant-jazz group he and bassist Steve Horowitz have created.
Charm and Strange/Hare and Arrow @ Luggage Store Gallery (1006 Market St., San Francisco), Thur. Dec. 29, 8:00 p.m.
….. Two acts presenting fairly calm electronics sounds/noise. Charm & Strange is the duo of Julia Mazawa and Sharkiface; you can sample some of Mazawa's turntablist work on her blog, and videos of Charm & Strange performances can be had on YouTube. Hare and Arrow is the duo of instrument builder Sung Kim (on the left in that picture) and David Dupuis; they've got a few samples of work up on Soundcloud, and yeah, they're also viewable on video.
Cartoon Justice @ El Valenciano (1153 Valencia St., San Francisco), Thur. Dec. 29, 8:00 p.m.
….. Cartoon Justice, led by (or perhaps consisting of) Mika Pontecorvo will perform "the music of Feral Luggage, 29th Century Bluesman," describing it as "genre-bent improv." Jayn Pettingill and Aaron Levin Pettingill and Levin will open, doing improvised sax/drums duets.
Monday Makeout @ The Make-Out Room (22nd St. near Mission St., San Francisco), Mon. Jan. 2, 8:00 p.m.
….. The monthly jazz series continues at this Mission District bar. The lineup, cut-and-pasted from Bayimproviser.com:
- Westbrook/Wick Duo (Luke Westbrook, guitar / Miles Wick, bass)
- Johnston-Goldberg-Denson Trio (Darren Johnston, trumpet / Ben Goldberg, clarinet / Jeff Denson, bass)
- Rob Ewing Group (Rob Ewing, trombone / Chris Sullivan, saxophone / Michael Coleman, keyboards / Hamir Atwal, drums)
Motian Studies
Paul Motian's recent passing got me examining some of the albums I've bought over the years that happen to include him.
A couple of these purchases came in the wake of discovering Tim Berne's Bloodcount on the JMT label. I started snapping up all things JMT — and the label was already defunct, which perversely added to the fun. Anyway, it turns out Motian showed up on a lot of those albums. (Stefan Winter has since revived the entire catalog on Winter & Winter — where you'll also find a PDF-formatted obit for Motian, cataloging his JMT output.)
Tethered Moon — s/t (JMT, 1995) ….. This one was hard for me at first. On the slow tracks, the music just seemed to sit there. Years later I would reconsider, having gotten more accustomed to less "busy" styles of music. It's a Kurt Weill collection, but the songs don't have the Weill-like tension and drama. Sometimes, the band comes across as a regular piano trio, with Masabumi Kikuchi showing some Keith Jarrett-like leanings, down to the funny-voiced singing alongside his piano lines. But for some patches, this album becomes a celebration of inner stillness, colored by Motian's delicious brushwork and the rich, resonating wood of Peacock's bass.
Wolfgang Muthspiel — Perspective (Verve, 1996) ….. The opening "Gang of 5″ held me spellbound on first listen. It's expansive and open-aired, a landscape built on Motian playing a groove without a steady beat. He's busily riding the cymbals and the snare in a very jazz-like way, but if you try to "spell" the beat in your head, you'll be foiled. Above this, Muthspiel spins weeping lines on violin and Marc Johnson follows with mournful bowed bass. Eventually, Muthspiel switches to electric guitar for some free soloing over Motian's non-groove.
On "No You Hang Up First," you get to hear Motian assigned to play a straight 2/4 beat. Of course, it doesn't stay that way, and the composition includes a breakdown passage where Motian gets to open up the rhythm.
My recollection is that I bought Perspective on a whim in Europe. It sure looks like a JMT release, but the label says just "Verve" — which did acquire JMT and printed its catalog for a sort time — and I can't find Muthspiel's name in the Winter & Winter reissue series.
Paul Motian and The Electric Bebop Band — Reincarnation of a Love Bird (JMT, 1994) ….. Hey, you get to hear Motian play regular swing! Sort of. The slower tracks like Monk's "Ask Me How" get a swing infused with Motian's airy treatment, those light, light taps on the cymbals. He's in more straightahead mode on some faster ones like Miles' "Half-Nelson," and you get to hear a nifty bebop solo from him on "Be-Bop." I get the feeling this band started as Motian's way of cutting loose a little bit, in a be-bop sense. (Ironically, by "cutting loose" I actually mean "giving in to jazz's normal constraints.") This album used a two-sax, two-guitar format for an exciting, busy sound in some places; Don Alias' percussion s0unds nice but seems like a bit much over Motian's drumming, sometimes.
This one's a JMT issue that you can't get on Winter & Winter; it's sold out!
Keith Jarrett ….. you know what, I'm not gonna call out a title. That whole mid-'70s period, with Dewey Redman (sax), Charlie Haden (bass), and Motian — those were glorious years. I had to pillage the used bins for Backhand, Bop-Be, El Juicio, and Mysteries, but you can find them all on CD now, thankfully. (Or online; I'm linking to eMusic there, but plenty of other outlets have them.) I think each album includes one "weird" track, one that departs from Jarrett's snappy-yet-open jazz and goes into complete experimental strangeness, often in a slow, pensive mood. And then there's The Survivors' Suite, which I've called out previously. I've thought about these more than actually listening to them in the past couple weeks, so maybe they shouldn't count here.
Paul Motian — Conception Vessel (ECM, 1973) ….. I hadn't heard this one before, though I was aware of it (and other Motian '70s gems) in the KZSU vinyl library. I'd mentioned it in discussing Motian's composing, in my review of Joel Harrison's tribute album. It's Motian's first album as a leader, and he tests the waters in so many areas. Sam Brown's guitar plays rough-and-tumble on "Rebica" but still foreshadows the drifting role Bill Frisell would play for Motian later. The title track is a duet with Jarrett, both players exploring loosely connected territories with a spacious ferocity. "Inspiration from a Vietnamese Lullabye" puts Leroy Jenkins' violin alongside Becky Friends' flute in a downright vicious, emotional jam.
Most of these tracks have a younger Motian playing powerfully, with lots of cymbals, still resonating with the heat of the '60s. He's certainly not adhering to timekeeping, but neither is the sound dominated by his magician's subtlety with blank spaces. I like the results a lot.
Of course, Motian's catalog has a lot more to it. These are just the things I'd grabbed off the shelf, so to speak.
Azar Lawrence Is Still Out There
Azar Lawrence — Mystic Journey (Furthermore, 2010)
Azar Lawrence is doing a live recording for his next album on Dec. 13-14 at the Jazz Standard in New York. He's launched a Kickstarter fund for the costs of organizing the gig and producing the recording… although time is running out and he's well short of the ambitious goal.
Does the name not ring a bell? Lawrence is a saxophonist based in Southern California who's very much in the late-period-Coltrane mold. He was on Miles' Dark Magus and worked with Earth, Wind and Fire — but I know him through his 1970s work with McCoy Tyner, specifically his towering sax on Tyner's double album, Atlantis. It's an album filled with that stormy-sea piano that was actually what first caught my ear about the 1964-and-beyond Coltrane albums, more so than Coltrane himself.
Lawrence has continued along similar lines. His most recent album, Mystic Journey, has a lot of that Coltrane-ish sound, particularly in the title track and "Summer Solstice," both written by Lawrence. Pianist Benito Gonzalez's channeling of Tyner is an appropriately big part of the sound. Other tracks take a rather straight-jazz approach, including the ballad "Say It Over Again" and Rashied Ali's tropical tune, "Adrees."
It doesn't necessarily cut new ground, but I find I'm OK with that. That might sound odd considering I devote this blog's energy to edgier music, the Steve Coleman and Tim Berne vectors of jazz. But it's what I expected when I picked up the album, and maybe I'm also just glad to learn that Lawrence is alive and well.
There's another thing: Just before going to New York recently, I'd read Ethan Iverson's Do the Math blog, specifically his thoughts on Hank Jones and Mulgrew Miller. The lesson I took from that is that a musician doesn't have to do "interview music" to be saying something worth hearing. And then, at Downtown Music Gallery, I happened to spy Mystic Journey, and I'd always wondered if Azar Lawrence had continued his career — and the sum of it all was one very pleasant CD listening where I could revel in the lessons Lawrence was passing down from the Coltrane/Tyner era.
Maybe I'm also just glad that some artists are keeping that period alive. So much jazz energy is spent on preserving ragtime or (modernized) swing, or cocktail jazz. Having some spokespeople for the more freedom-seeking forms of "straight" jazz isn't so bad a thing. And when the album shifts into gently nostalgic bebop mode for "Say It Over Again," it's actually quite nice.
Lawrence might not be saying anything wholly new, but I'm glad to hear him show off that he can say it.
Earworms: The Music of Words
Lisa Mezzacappa/Katy Stephan/Michelle Amador — Earworms (planBmusic, 2008)
It's a pop CD! Pop songs of all stripes, ricocheting from one style to another as Lisa Mezzacappa and songwriting/vocalist partners Katy Stephan and Michelle Amador present music inspired by individual words.
Beyond the CD, Earworms is an interesting and often fun art-installation project by Deborah Aschheim. She's created sculptures, like the one above, using favorite words as inspiration — "node" for the piece pictured above, for instance.
The pieces are multimedia in nature, with video or music as part of the installment, and of course that's where the CD comes in. Earworms' 18 songs relate to 16 different words in Aschheim's ongoing project, and Mezzacappa & Co. clearly had a great time matching moods to the titles.
"Swoon" appropriately gets played to moonlit Parisian cafe jazz. "Pout" becomes a smoky jazz stroll. "Node" is stretched and abstract; "Crazy" piles spoken voices together to get into your head. "Like" is hysterical — '60s beach music with, like, this girl's voice and all?
Other songs treat the words as objects of their own. "Tarmac" gets picked because it was Aschheim's first-ever computer password; it opens the album as a breezy pop song (a really good one) exploring the concept of literal social networks (the links among people we know). "Obviously" is a funny operatic song about how insulting the word "obviously" can be.
"Palimpsest," one of my own favorite words, comes out surprisingly pretty and thoughtful. The inclusion of "Ice Knife" is perplexing until you read the book excerpt that makes up the lyrics — it's about literal ice knives as assassins' weapons, and it's kind of cool.
Don't forget, too, that Mezzacappa traces her musical roots back to metal; she didn't leave that out. Little surprises like that add to what's already a delightful package of songs. You'll find it on CD Baby or at some of Mezzacappa's shows.
The Read: June 25, 2011
1. Giving local musicians some love: This goes back a bit, but SFGate ran a nice profile of bassist Lisa Mezzacappa.
2. Quasi related, here's a review of the band Cylinder in JazzWrap. Cylinder is a quartet that includes Aram Shelton (sax) and Mezzacappa; they've played around town for years, and it's to my detriment that I've not seen them nor heard their album on Clean Feed. One more for the to-do list.
3. SOMArts in San Francisco is hosting a five-show dance/installation piece called The Book, by Avy K productions. Performances occur roughly weekly starting July 1. My main interest: experimental vocalist Ken Ueno and clarinetist (and sfSound founder) Matt Ingalls will be performing in Part 2, which takes place July 7.
4. Chris Speed's Skirl label got a nice writeup in The Wall Street Journal. The story focuses on the general difficulties of selling CDs and getting music out to the public (or getting a fan base into the music).
5. Interesting discussion floating around the Web about whether younger jazz players are paying proper respect to their own sound and to their elders. Without a nightly bandstand to mature on, it would seem fewer musicians are interested in developing a bebop virtuosity. It's an argument that has some credence and seems to have touched some nerves. Here's a blog from writer Peter Hum about the issue; that's a link that goes to other links, but it's a good summary and a good starting place.
6. Remember that CD diptych from Steven Lugerner? Here's more about the former Berkeley native, from the L.A. Times and Berkeleyside.
7. From Louder Than War, a great long Cardiacs article.
8. From 2007, a piece on the coolness of Cryptogramophone.

As Fairmont City Council members and City Manager Jay Rogers await a decision to be made regarding the pending legislation to expand and extend the home rule pilot program, discussions are being held regarding the city's potential application to the program.
Prior to Tuesday night's council meeting, members and Rogers held a work session to analyze the concepts that have been developed by city staff that they believe would aid the city in its ability to serve residents and businesses.

Clark, Sally-Ann (2003) Isolation, expression and purification of the hydantoin hydrolysing enzymes of agrobacterium tumefaciens. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
Restricted to Registered users only
The production of enantiomerically pure amino acids is of industrial importance as they are used in the synthesis of a number of pharmaceuticals, insecticides and herbicides and biologically active peptides and hormones. A number of microorganisms have been identified which possess hydantoin hydrolysing enzymes that stereoselectively convert racemic hydantoins into enantiomerically pure amino acids. Consequently these microorganisms and their enzymes are sought after as biocatalysts for the production of amino acids. The isolation of novel hydantoin hydrolysing enzymes with unique or improved biocatalytic characteristics is of importance for the development of potential biocatalysts to be used in the production of enantiomerically pure amino acids. The genes encoding the hydantoin hydrolysing enzymes are linked on the genome. A gene encoding an N-carbamoyl-amino acid amidohydrolase, an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of hydantoin, was isolated by screening a genomic DNA library of Agrobacterium tumefaeiens RU-AE01. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the region upstream of this gene revealed a fragment of a gene encoding the hydantoinase enzyme. In this study, a DNA probe consisting of the gene encoding the N-carbamoyl amino acid amidohydrolase was used to re-isolate the gene encoding the N-carbamoyl amino acid amidohydrolase, on a large enough fragment of the genomic DNA library which would allow for the simultaneous isolation the hydantoinase gene located upstream. Recombinant expression of the genes encoding hydantoin hydrolysing enzymes has been used to facilitate the production and purification of these enzymes for their use as biocatalysts. Two genes (ncaR1 and ncaR2) encoding different N-carbamoyl-amino acid amidohydrolases with distinct nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences were isolated from the genome of A. tumefaeiens RU-OR. In this study, the heterologous expression of neaR1 and ncaR2 was explored. Investigation into the optimisation of the heterologous expression of ncaR1 showed that reducing the growth temperature of the recombinant E. coli producing NcaR1 resulted in a two-fold increase in N-carbamoylamino acid amidohydrolase activity and solubility. Furthermore, NcaR1 was produced with a C-terminal 6xHis tag, but NcaR 1-6xHis did not possess N-carbamoyl amino acid amidohydrolase activity. Furthermore, purification of NcaR1-6xHis under native conditions using affinity chromatography performed, and used for the production of antibodies.

Dear American Girl,
I really want a pet but my parents always tell me that I'm not ready. I love animals so much. How can I show them that I'm responsible?
-Animal lover
Here's your advice:
You could try helping out at an animal shelter. Your parents would see that you're interested in animals and that you're a responsible volunteer. They might change their minds.
-Grace, age 11, California
If you want to show your parents you're ready for an animal, do chores every day for the whole summer. It worked for me.
-Emma, age 10, Pennsylvania
You could give a presentation to your parents. Use lists and charts to show why you're ready for a pet. Also, speak from your heart. I hope this will show them how much a pet means to you.
-Maddy, age 11, New Jersey
If your parents don't think you're ready for a pet, you may have to wait. Until they decide you're ready, do your best to be helpful. You also could talk with them and find out why they don't think you're ready.
-Madison, age 10, Texas
Ask if you can buy a fish with your own money. Fish are fairly cheap and easy to take care of. If your parents see that you can take care of a fish, maybe they will consider giving you more responsibility.
-Bailey, age 10, California
Maybe your parents just think it's too much to handle. I have a pet, and caring for it is not easy.
-Sunaii, age 8, New Jersey
Try doing responsible things without your parents reminding you. Keep your room clean, make your bed, and help out around the house. Your parents might notice these things.
-Liv, age 12, Wisconsin
Maybe you can make a deal with your parents. My parents are going to let me foster a dog for one month. If I do a good job taking care of it, they will let me keep it!
-Kayla, age 11, Illinois
My advice is to take care of a stuffed pet. Pretend to feed it, play with it, and take it on pretend walks.
-Aditi, age 12, New Jersey
There are classes you can take that teach you how to take care of pets. Also, keep in mind that cats are sometimes easier to take care of than dogs.
-An American Girl fan
Show your parents you're responsible by getting good grades in school. When your report card comes, ask for a pet.
-Amanda, age 9, Michigan
Maybe you can become a dog walker. This might show your parents that you're ready.
-Sammi, age 12, Delaware
When I was six, I wanted a pet so badly. My brother and I decided to do something responsible every day. We cleaned our rooms, took out the trash, cleaned up our bathroom, and then cleaned the entire house. Finally our parents decided to get our dog, Buddy.
-Hannah, age 11, California
First, decide what kind of animal you want. Dogs, cats, and bunnies need to be taken care of in different ways. Find out which pet would be the best match for your family and then talk to your parents.
-Stazi, age 10, Ohio
Sit down and have a serious conversation with your parents. List the reasons why you think you are responsible enough for a pet, and listen to what they have to say.
-Priscilla, age 11, Florida
There's a chance that you will not be able to convince them. If this happens, find other ways to spend time with animals. Ask neighbors if you can watch their pet or volunteer at an animal shelter.
-Hayley, age 9, North Carolina

Thick of It stars pick up awards
8:44am Thursday 13th December 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Jack Whitehall has been named the King of Comedy in a viewer vote.
The Fresh Meat actor and stand-up won the gong at the UK Comedy Awards, beating competition including Alan Carr, Graham Norton and Lee Mack.
The event, shown on Channel 4 last night, also saw Ali G star Sacha Baron Cohen accept a special award for Outstanding Achievement.
The controversial star wore a tracksuit with the name "Savile" on the back, telling the audience he now had to "buy me tracksuits from second hand shops".
There was also success for two arch-rivals from political satire The Thick Of It as Peter Capaldi was named Best TV Comedy Actor for his role as foul-mouthed spin doctor Malcolm Tucker, while Rebecca Front won the Best TV Comedy Actress award for her portrayal of hapless politician Nicola Murray.
Her success meant there was no win for Olivia Colman, who was nominated in the category for two different roles - in Olympic satire Twenty Twelve, and the sitcom Rev.
Capaldi saw off competition from Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville, who got a nod for his Twenty Twelve role, along with Tom Hollander for Rev and Steve Coogan.
Other winners include Harry Hill whose TV Burp show was named the Best Comedy Entertainment Programme.
The award for Best Sitcom saw The Thick Of It, Rev and Twenty Twelve all lose out to Julia Davis's Sky show Hunderby, which was also named Best New Comedy Programme.

Salt Lake City, Utah (April 25, 2012) – Murray, Utah dentist Dr. Daniel Ormsby is offering an all-in-one package of oral health solutions that allows residents to enjoy major savings on their dental bill. His practice has announced a New Patient Special that offers quality teeth whitening, dental exams, and full x-ray services for 82% less than the normal rates charged by other dentists in Salt Lake City and the nearby areas.
This promo comes at a time when a survey by dental resource Brighter.com reports that Americans pay an estimated $55 billion yearly on their dental bills. Current statistics also indicate that nearly 50% of US residents lack dental insurance, citing high costs as the number one reason for not prioritizing dental care.
Dr. Ormsby offers this special as a service to his Utah patients, providing the same quality of dental services as those offered by the dentists Salt Lake City patients frequent, but at largely discounted rates. A full x-ray, teeth whitening, and dental exam package normally costs around $274. But unlike the average dentists Salt Lake City and the nearby areas have to offer, Dr. Ormsby provides this package for the incredibly low price of $49. That's a savings of $225 or 82% off of the cost of all three treatments.
Dr. Ormsby has made all this possible while still maintaining a state-of-the-art office and cutting-edge equipment to ensure that his patients receive the quality service they deserve. Besides the said services, Dr. Ormsby also offers dental crowns, colored fillings, and the kind of dental implants Salt Lake City and Murray City dentists routinely handle.
The members of his office staff also help patients sort out their payment issues and create easy-pay, low-interest financial plans. They accept a variety of dental insurance plans from providers such as Metlife, Blue Cross, and United Concordia. These plans cover a full range of dental services, such as the kind of dental implants Salt Lake City dentists offer.
About Ormsby Dental
Ormsby Dental is the practice of leading Utah dentist Dr. Daniel Ormsby D.D.S., one of the most highly respected veteran dentists in Salt Lake City and Murray City. With over 16 years of experience under his belt, Dr. Ormsby has built a reputation for his commitment to providing quality dental care at a reasonable cost. Local residents are encouraged to call Dr. Ormsby at 1-801-407-9956 to schedule an appointment.

Montrose County Sherriff's Deputy Injured in Early Morning Domestic Call
Mar 25th @ 8:57 am in News by Scott Staley
Montrose, COLO. March 25, 2013 – Montrose County Sherriff's office replied to a domestic violence call early Monday morning. The deputies who responded met with the female victim and proceeded to the residence to talk with the male party.
When the deputies knocked on the door, the suspect fired two rounds at the deputies. One deputy was shot and taken to St. Mary's Hospital and is currently in surgery. "We are unaware of the deputy's condition at this moment, but will keep the public apprised," said Montrose County Sherriff Rick Dunlap.
The Montrose County Sherriff's office is working with the city's SWAT Team, Special Response Team as well as Delta and Mesa County Sherriff's offices to apprehend the suspect.
At this time, Montrose County is not releasing the names of involved parties. Information will be released as soon as it becomes available.

Charles and Kathy Stratton will have up to 100 visitors to their North Norwich dining room starting as early as 6 a.m. today. But the Strattons will duck out for the day as their King Settlement Road home becomes an election polling place.
Voters in the southern part of the Otsego County town of Maryland will go to the Brown Cow ice cream parlor to cast their ballot — not for chocolate or vanilla, but for president, senator and assemblyman.
Most people will vote today in town halls, churches or schools, but in some districts, there's no such place available. Officials had to turn to businesses or residents to house voting booths so people could vote closer to home.
Individual towns, villages and cities decide where people should vote. The state only dictates that alcohol not be sold for consumption and that no religious services are going on during voting, said Steven LaFever, spokesman for the Board of Elections. An effort should also be made to make polling places accessible to the handicapped, he said.
Nothing was said about accessibility to hair styling, but some Chenango County town of Sherburne residents will vote at Norm's Barber Shop in Earlville. Norm will be closed for hair cuts today, however. The building has been used as a polling place for about 15 years and has housed a meat shop and the VFW in the past, said town clerk John McDaniel. City of Oneonta fifth ward residents can go car shopping while they vote at Landmark Nissan on Chestnut Street this year. It's better than renting a motel room, which was city Clerk Elizabeth Goodman's only other choice in the ward.

Manchester's The 1975 are the latest kids to mine what seems like their country's greatest national resource when it comes to rock: youthful angst. "This album is the soundtrack to our formative years," says singer Matt Healy. "The culmination of our adolescence and the cornerstone of our material thus far. That's exactly what it is." He preens moodily through the album, out September 3rd in the States, and its success is in just how personal it all sounds. "All I know is that it's an uncompromising and honest depiction of who we are and what we're about, and I'm very proud that we've had the opportunity to make an album like that." Us too.
