Your friends, The Tritonics
Greetings All! Your friends, The Tritonics, invite you to join us at our adopted Riverwest home, the The Circle A Cafe, for a rare Sunday night show. Sure, it's a Sunday night, but there are compelling reasons to attend... * Our newest member, viola-ista Glenn Asch will be making his Circle A performance debut. * We'll be previewing new tunes from our first full length CD, set to (one) drop in Spring 2015. * Final Milwaukee show of 2014. Unless you book us to provide tropical sonic sparkle for your private or company holiday party. Then that will be our final Milwaukee show of 2014. * Book us for your party. We are clean, well behaved and housebroken. * Sunday night will be our last chance to see you drink and dance before we return to the liberating undertaking of record making for the winter months. Please don't deny us this opportunity. Your engaging, cocktail-fueled conversations and refined dance moves are frequently more entertaining than we are. * Sunday night is our send-off show. Next week, we leave for our fourth annual Bay Area Boom Boom tour. The best possible way to head to San Francisco bay is with a big warm, whiskey-breathed hug from all of our friends and neighbors at The Circle A Cafe. * Packers don't play Sunday but we do. Two full halves of rock steady, ska and roots reggae music for the people. So. Give those Sunday night worries a rest and head to Riverwest. The Circle A Cafe. 932 East Chambers. Corner of Chambers and Weil. 8 PM start 5 dollar cover dj with a near-endless supply of tasty vinyl records spinning immediately after second set PS: Drag racing icons of yesteryear referenced in subject line actually just a promotional ploy. Few actual drag racing legends will be in attendance. As far as we know. c u @ the circle a!
Greetings All
Tritonica is aglow with three big, boom boom shows we'd like to share with you and yoze. And we need to let you know so that you can go to at least one show. Maybe mo!
* Your friends, The Tritonics, are excited and pretty darn pleased to be performing at Summerfest for the very first time this year. Whether you are a downtown cubicle dweller seeking temporary midday, outdoor reassignment, or simply a fan of daytime drinking, we hope you will join us this coming Thursday, June 27th at the Johnson Controls World Sound Stage (formerly the Potawatomi Stage) from 12 O' Clock noon until 2:00 pm. If you have not had the opportunity, please check out our Summerfest band page, because, from that site, you can click on our pic to access our new music video, Smoky Places. The video features the illustrations, animations and strange mutations of local artist and our most talented and generous friend, Michael DiMilo.
Extra! Rumor has it that the (not) youngest member of our pack of pale rudies actually has TWO gigs at Summerfest on Thursday. Talk about da man in demand! Our grandest guitarista, Mr. Tom Plutshack will ALSO be performing with Bella Bruto and special guest (and former band mate of most of us) Mark Truesdell on the Renegade Stage at 3:15pm. So please, after we chat and swap some post show-sentences, head over to the Renegade Stage at 3:15pm (but no sooner because the fabulously awesome Mali Blues follows us at 2:30pm on the Johnson Controls World Sound Stage) to support that two-timing, moonlighting, gig-grinding Plutshack and his mates, Jared Drake and Bob Mueller, and the always-engaging stories and repertoire of Bella Bruto.
* Next week, on Friday, July 5th, your friends, The Tritonics, will be (with apologies to Primus) sailing the seas of cheese on the Vista King for a two hour starlight cruise, featuring two sets of live, nautically-themed, rock steady redeemed music for you and your companions, co-workers and compatriots. Rumor has it that our Lord and Master Of The Seas, Triton, may be riding in our wake on a boogie board. But verifying a crazy story like this requires witnesses, so bring your camera/smartphone and join us! The Vista King cruise boards Water Street and Michigan Street. Tickets are $19.00 and can be purchased at the Milwaukee Boat Line web site, which you can reach by clicking here.
* And then, the following week, we return to that always-fabulous, always free and always French festival, Bastille Days. We'll be on the Kilbourn West Stage again this year, BUT we've migrated to a brand new Saturday afternoon timeslot. And please, do let us add this tid bit of en-francais by-the-way; we are followed on the Kilbourn West Stage by the intriguing and exotic, Victor DeLorenzo-propelled, cello-powered chamber rock ensemble Nineteen Thirteen AND last but not least, Paul Cebar (and the first man to play our new 45 live over the Milwaukee airwaves on 91.7 WMSE) and Tomorrow Sound, whose rapturous sonorities will lure everyone around to sing and dance profound. SO... it looks like this is just gonna be one of those nights where you wanna find yourself a comfortable spot, grab a bag of begneits, a bevvie of choice and the perfect festival companions to settle in for a long, sumptuous summertime evening of local musique exotique.
Well, as usual, this email has gotten longer than I had intended. We have other fun gigs in the works too; some recurring and others that will act as punctuation marks at the end of the sentence that is our beautiful, busy Wisconsin summertime. But those are for another day.
The Tritonics look forward to rocking steady with you and yours this summer. See you out and about on the streets, beaches and stages of our fair city.
Your Friends, The Tritonics
Greetings All!
It was bound to happen. The colossal cosmic collision of two bands on righteous musical missions, combining their diverse influences and love of great live music on one stage, for one night, in one fab-sounding room.
This Friday, the classic Stax and Volt-inspired sounds of Torn Soul share sonic space and a warm embrace with your friends, The Tritonics. Hot sexy soul, sung like slow-burning embers. Heady rock steady, like Jamaica remembers. Songs leapt from the speakers; Studio One, Treasure Isle. Hearts swell wit di riddim. And faces, dem smile.
So, brothers and sisters, bredren and sistren, grab your closest friends, your family AND your neighbors, and get down to Linneman's Riverwest Inn this coming Friday night, April 26th at 9:00pm for what is sure to be a religious experience. With the help of Jim and Marti, we will baptize you in libations and sonic vibrations that will lift your spirit (while you lift your spirits) and move your feet to the one-drop beat and horn harmonies sweet. On the southeast corner of Locust and Weil Street. Tritonics at nine. Torn Soul at ten. Tritonics at eleven, then Torn Soul again. For one final midnight brass mass. Amen.
Feeling blessed in Riverwest
Your Friends, The Tritonics
PS: Please Mark your calendars for these upcoming events! The Tritonics at Circle A Cafe on Saturday, May 4th! Smoky Places musicians/artist collaboration at Dominion Gallery Friday, May 17th, including the he world premier of Michael DiMilo's animated music video with soundtrack provided by your friends, The Tritonics. And don't you dare head home after the Dominion Gallery event! For that very same night, Friday May 17th, The Uptowner hosts the record release party for our new 7' single, Smoky Places, including the original, instrumental b side, Smoke-Free Places. That word is final. The Tritonics on vinyl!
The Tritonics are Jeff Stehr, Dave Bolyard, Tom Plutshack, Karl Landwehr and Dave Cusma. They write, arrange and perform original music written in the Jamaican roots styles of rock steady, ska and reggae. They also cover crucial standards of those genres by artists like Alton Ellis, Delroy Wilson, Toots and the Maytalls, The Heptones, Johnny Clarke, The Valentines and The Jamaicans. In addition, The Tritonics apply a unique process they've dubbed "doowopification" to rock n roll classics by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and many others. Doowopification reinterprets and revitalizes (Ital-izes!) classic rock standards, anointing them in the name of Jah with stripped down, Jamaican roots-style arrangements, one drop-centered rhythm and harmony-heavy vocals. Stream audio from our latest CD, Again With The Boom Boom, by clicking here; on our Reverb Nation band page. The Tritonics: are committed to keeping the citizenry drinking, dancing and well informed through song.
Greetings All!
Downtown Milwaukee will be abuzz with activity this coming Friday night.
Whether you are heading downtown to see if the Miami Heat will be able to break the Bucks record (shared with two other teams) for 20 consecutive wins in an NBA season, or to attend the concert at the Milwaukee Theater by the legendary and long-absent-from-this-town songwriter Leonard Cohen, I have great news to share with you.
Your presence at either of those events will not interfere with your ability to head over to Intercon Underground, in the lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel, where you can enjoy two full sets of live rock steady, ska and roots reggae music, performed by your friends, The Tritonics. We start at 10:00pm, right about the time most of the other downtown events will be ending. And it's FREE, so there's really no reason to do anything but walk through the pair of revolving doors near the corner of East Kibourn and North Water Streets, and into the swanky lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel. Make yourself comfortable in their beautiful lounge, grab a fresh bevvie from the bar and relax and enjoy the music while you let the crush of weekend, post-event, downtown traffic slowly dissolve around you. And remember, the Intercontinental Hotel's central downtown location makes it easy for you to just leave your car wherever it is parked and walk on over.
Need more ideas to help you manage the logistics of your busy Friday night? Here are three of them that we've created especially for those of you who are out celebrating the mayorally-proclaimed Leonard Cohen Day here in Milwaukee this Friday.
* For you pre-show meal, consider dining Mexican at Cohen-ejitos.
* When parking your car downtown on a busy Friday night, never park in an area that has been marked off with orange traffic Cohens.
* After your early evening event is over, proceed directly to the lobby of the Inter-Cohen-tinental Hotel to enjoy The Trtionics (utterly unofficial and unaffiliated) Leonard Cohen After Party.
We hope you will join us Friday night at Inter-Cohen Underground!
Your Friends, The Tritonics
Greetings All!
The Tritonics are excited to celebrate the end of the Mayan long count calendar this coming Friday evening, December 21st, in the lobby / lounge of the Intercontinental Hotel on the corner of Kilbourn and Water Streets. This show is FREE, open to everyone and ton of fun. It is also our last public show of 2012. Or, possibly ever, if you place a lot of faith in the Mayans ability to predict the future. Although, as astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has pointed out, they failed to predict the arrival of the Spanish, so how reliable could their system really be?
Anyway, apocalypse or not-alypse, we would like to share our finest rock steady, ska and roots reggae selections with your and yours, in a delightful cocktail lounge setting, surrounded by classy furniture, beautiful artwork on the walls and the colorful lights and festive decorations of our city's beautiful downtown.
We have also recently returned from our weeklong mini tour in California. We traveled as a four piece there, and though we had a fabulous time and amassed many great stories to tell during our travels, we missed our brother Toys terribly, so we are super-excited to re-unite with him as we return to our now-standard five piece instrumentation that adds holidatious horn harmonies to our original trio format. Adding Karl Landwehr on sax, percussionn, melodia and keys and Dave Cusma on trombone has been one of the greatest blessings bestowed on our band 2012. If you haven't had a chance to spend some time with us in our latest five piece form, this is a great chance to do so. We think the sound will make you happy.
Hope to see all you sippin' on Mayan martini's in the lobby of the Intercontinental Hotel this coming Friday night at 8:30pm.
Your friends, The Tritonics
Greetings All!
You are no doubt familiar with the challenges of living in an environment with a geology prone to earthquakes. Well, scientists, specifically ethnomusicologists, have recently discovered that sound waves can be manipulated and deployed to transform even the shakiest ground back into terra firma. And all it takes is music.
So, you may be wondering, what amazing type of music is capable of magically solidifying a historically unstable landscape, full of gravel, cracks, crevices, faults, violent outcroppings and loose rock?
Rock Steady Music
We are pleased to announce that The Tritonics have been dispatched to the state of California to make rock steady.
And roots reggae.
And Ska.
We sincerely hope that you will considering joining us at one of the following stops on the Twenty Twelve Tri-Town Tritonics Tectonic Tour. Here are the essential whens and wheres to help you find us during our San Fran Bay Stay:
Wednesday, December 5th at 9:00pm the Elbo Room with DJ Adam from San Francisco Vintage Reggae Society
and our favorite new San Francisco friends
Franco Nero
Check out Franco Nero's tunes here
We love them and their sound and we think you will too. It's the instant sound of sunshine and happiness, so what's not too love? Oh, and the fact that they're awesome musicians doesn't hurt.
Friday, December 7th at Stanford University
This is a private party. But, if deemed necessary, and after gaining the appropriate permissions, blessings and authorizations, we may just be able to deputize people as roadies, van drivers or groupies to help them gain admission.
Saturday, December 8th at 8:00pm at Bocci's Cellar in Santa Cruz
With DJ Rasta Cruz
The Tritonics are excited to bring our 'Sconnie love and rock steady music to the bay area. We look forward to seeing you out and about. Remember - One Drop Is All You Need!
Until next week then...stay cool and true, pale rudies.
Cool and true!

It has recently come to our attention that the decision to use of the terms "band" "briefs" "stipped down" and "intimate" all in the same sentence of my original email may, by implication, suggest that some sort of ludeness or nudity could be involved in our on-air adventures tomorrow. There will be rudeness, but not nudeness. There will be rudity, but no nudity. At least as far as you know. It is a radio show, after all.
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Future clothing-optional performances by the band will be described explicitly, so you know exactly which shows to avoid.

A number of AV manufacturers looked to CES to launch new Blu-ray player lines this year, with a total of 16 standalone players announced, alongside two Blu-ray integrated TVs, most with BD-Live capabilities. Here's TechRadar's rundown of the Blu-ray machines that debuted at CES and will be released in 2009.
One of the bugbears that online gamers face is the linear way their voice and everybody else's is transmitted.
ExclusiveA number of AV Manufacturers at the CES conference in Las Vegas today, admitted to TechRadar that they are having trouble explaining just what BD-Live is to the average consumer.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - An already challenging season for the Kansas City Chiefs only got tougher following Saturday's tragic events.
But the show went on.
And somehow the Chiefs avoided tying their longest losing streak in franchise history.
A day after linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend before taking his own life at the team's facility, the Chiefs resiliently took the field and downed the Carolina Panthers, 27-21, snapping their eight-game slide.
"As far as playing the game, I thought that was the best for us to do, because that's what we do," Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel said. "That's what we do, we play on Sunday."
On Saturday, Belcher shot his girlfriend, 22-year-old Kasandra M. Perkins, multiple times after the two had argued at home. Minutes after the first shooting, Belcher drove to the Chiefs' training facility at Arrowhead Stadium and spoke with team personnel, including Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli, before taking his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot.
The couple leaves behind their three-month-old daughter, an orphan.
Despite witnessing the suicide of Belcher, Crennel was on the sideline.
The Chiefs conducted a moment of silence prior to the game for all victims of domestic violence.
Belcher was in his fourth year with the Chiefs after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Maine. He started 10 of the 11 games he had played this season and registered 38 tackles.
Brady Quinn threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns on 19-of-23 efficiency for the Chiefs (2-10), who avoided joining the 1987 and 2007 Chiefs as the only teams to lose nine straight games in franchise history.
Jamaal Charles carried the ball 27 times for 127 yards in the win.
Cam Newton completed 15-of-27 passes for 232 yards and three scores, while adding 78 yards on the ground for the Panthers (3-9), who downed the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.
"They played an inspired football game," Carolina head coach Ron Rivera said. "They did some really good things, and we have to give them credit, because they suffered through a very difficult time."
Kansas City took its opening possession of the contest 74 yards in just six plays before Peyton Hillis rumbled in for a 2-yard score and the Chiefs' first score on their first drive of a game since Dec. 26, 2010.
Following the touchdown, Hillis ran to the sideline and gave Crennel the football before giving the hefty coach a bear hug.
The Panthers quickly answered when Greg Olsen capped a 6-play, 75-yard march with a 47-yard TD catch.
Ryan Succop booted through a 42-yard field goal, but Carolina countered again when Newton converted three third downs, the last being a 23-yard TD pass to Steve Smith in the back left corner of the end zone on 3rd-and-3 for a 14-10 Panthers advantage early in the second.
The Chiefs finished the half with one of their most impressive treks all season. They took the remaining 7:25 off the clock and went 80 yards in 13 plays.
The elongated march was capped when Crennel went for it on 4th-and-1 from the 1-yard line with two ticks left and Quinn found Tony Moeaki in the back of the end zone, which made it 17-14 in favor of the hosts at the break.
Kansas City had another prolonged march in the third quarter, this one going 87 yards in 17 plays, while taking 9:56 off the clock.
Quinn concluded the march when he flipped a 3-yard score to Jon Baldwin and extend the margin to 24-14.
Carolina answered with an 11-play, 80-yard drive, which concluded when Newton found Louis Murphy for an 8-yard score, which cut the deficit to 24-21.
Succop increased the Chiefs' cushion when he drilled a 52-yard field goal with 4:54 to play.
Carolina then went three-and-out, the first time either team had done that all game, and didn't regain possession until 18 ticks showed on the clock.
Newton completed a Hail Mary pass to Smith for a 53-yard gain on the last play of the contest, but Smith was brought down at the 8-yard line.
Carolina was seeking its third straight win in the series ... Dwayne Bowe had
64 yards on four catches for the Chiefs ... Carolina outgained Kansas City,
385-355 ... Smith had five catches for 120 yards.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

Farrells has been announced as winner of an international competition to masterplan two prominent commercial zones in Shenzhen's Qianhai financial district. Adjacent to the district's Qianhaiwan metro station, the two districts are expected to boost cross-border trade between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The first, 460,000-square-meter masterplan will feature a 320-meter-tall skyscraper and two 185-meter gateway towers, providing high-end office, residential and retail space, as well as serviced apartments.
AD Interviews: David Gianotten / OMA
During the Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture, we had the opportunity to speak with David Gianotten, partner-in-charge of OMA's Hong Kong office. Gianotten launched the Dutch firm's Asian headquarters in 2009, where he supervises major projects such as the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Taipei Performing Arts Centre.
Standing outside of the recently completed Stock Exchange headquarters, he answered our questions about urbanization, innovation and the intricacies of running an office in an environment with such rapid urban growth. Shenzhen has proven an experiment of economic openness and is a vivid example of China's recent growth. The city's skyline is practically a physical graph of an upward-trending economy, with buildings designed by nearly every internationally renowned architecture firm. But OMA's Shenzhen Stock Exchange building stands apart from the rest not only because of its impeccable construction (a rarity in the fast-paced building booms of Chinese cities), but also because it houses the institution that lists China's biggest companies.
The 254 meter tower is an elegant structure that combines pure volumes with an exoskeleton grid clad in translucent glass. It represents a characteristic OMA-approach to innovative architectural solutions, made possible by extensive programmatic and technical research.
Read the full interview (which includes Gianotten's insights on the study of architecture, the role of architects, and the importance of simplicity when communicating complex innovation) after the break.
Finnish/Chinese Architects Explore Copying and Collaboration at the Shenzhen Biennale
As part of the Shenzhen Architecture Biennale, Finnish practice Lassila Hirvilammi Architects entered into a collaboration with Chinese architect Gigi Leung to explore the themes of copying, authenticity and knowledge transfer between cultures. Working with master craftsmen, they created two versions of the same space (each influenced by their respective cultures), intentionally blurring the line between copying and taking inspiration.

NBBJ has unveiled a 250-meter-high, two-tower campus that will become Tencent's main headquarters at the Shenzhen High-Tech Industrial Park upon completion in 2016. As the world's third-largest internet corporation, and 2013's most innovative Chinese company according to FastCo, Tencent hopes the new campus will serve as a vibrant workplace for an expanding workforce of 12,000 employees.
Shenzhen Bay Super City International Competition
Shenzhen is located in the south of Guangdong, China, facing Hong Kong across the river. In 2012, it had a permanent population of 10.54 million and its GDP, standing at RMB 1,295 billion, ranked the fourth amongst cities in Mainland China for years. After more than thirty years of reform and opening up, it has developed from a small town in the southern coast of China to a modern metropolis, becoming a miniature of China's reform, opening-up and modern construction.
MAD Envisions More 'Natural' Chinese Cities in the Future
Ma Yansong of MAD recently presented a 600,000 square meter urban design proposal for the city of Nanjing titled, "Shanshui Experiment Complex," at the 2013 Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism / Architecture in Shenzhen, China. The concept takes into account the culture, nature and history of Nanjing while reconsidering the methodology in which Chinese cities are built.
Qianhai Integrated Transportation Hub / gmp Architekten
Architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) have been commissioned to design of a new urban development project on a 45 hectare site in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen. The competition-winning proposal comprises a transportation hub including five underground railway stations, a border control point and numerous commercial areas. Above ground there will be a range of tower blocks of different heights with apartments, shops and offices to form multi-functional city quarters.
Shenzhen Biennale: The Value Factory and the Urban Border
Now in its 5th edition, the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism / Architecture (UABB) is the only biennial exhibition in the world to be based exclusively on the themes of urbanism and urbanization. The Biennale is co-organized by Shenzhen and Hong Kong, two of the most intensely urban cities in the world, where political and economical contexts have shaped unique urban dynamics.
A few days ago we had the chance to attend the opening of the Shenzhen Biennale, curated by Creative Director Ole Bouman together with Academic Directors Li Xiangning and Jeffrey Johnson. The Biennale, focused on "Urban Borders," is split between two venues that will be open until Feb 28th, 2014.
Right next to the Shenzhen Ferry Terminal, where thousands of people commute every day between Hong Kong, Macau and Chinese cities along the Pearl River Delta, the Border Warehouse displays a series of projects -including the national pavilions- that deal with border issues, from projects that mediate Shenzhen and Hong Kong; the 3,154km long border between Mexico and the US, to transit stations and border checkpoints designed by contemporary architects. Participating include Enrique Walker, Juerguen Mayer, Aterlier Bow Wow, Joseph Grima, Teddy Cruz, Abalos + Sienkiewicz, MAD, among many others.
"Cities are filled with numerous – and at first sight invisible – borders. Between rich and poor, between ethnic groups, between high and low, between dense and sprawl, in short, between center and periphery. But who and what define these borders?" -- Ole Bouman
But perhaps the most interesting part of the Biennale takes place at the main venue: The Value Factory.

"Fangda Business Headquarters" Winning Entry / Huasen Architects
Huasen Architects (HSA) have been announced winners of the Fangda Headquarters competition. The winning proposal, located in Shenzhen, China, reshapes the existing site into a 300,000 sqm vortex of retail, office, entertainment and recreation spaces, stemming off a high-tech research and technical development hub. Competition requirements called for the integration of a bus terminal predicated on government officials' calculations that 55% of users would arrive by bus.
2013 Shenzhen Biennale, UABB (Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism /Architecture)
Now in its 5th edition, the Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture (UABB) is the only biennial exhibition in the world to be based exclusively on the themes of urbanism and urbanization and is co-organized by Shenzhen and Hong Kong, making it one of the most important events on its type in the region.
The UABB has developed strong alliances with partners both local, regional and from all over the world. Among them include globally renowned cultural institutions like Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), MAXXI, OMA, Droog Design, International Architecture Biennale of São Paulo, MIT, MoMA New York, and The Berlage.
The curator for this year is Ole Bouman, and amajor attraction of the 2013 Shenzhen Biennale is the creative and dramatic transformation of an old Shenzhen glass factory into one of the Biennale's core venues for this year. Spearheaded by Ole Bouman, the UABB's curator and creative director, the project adhered to his manifesto statement of "Biennale as risk." The revitalisation effort not only provides a unique and functional exhibition space for the Biennale but it reclaims a piece of heritage and history. As a broader objective, the makeover is also a step in redefining Shenzhen's identity. In completing the urban intervention, Mr. Bouman now calls it a 'Value Factory' to manufacture ideas and knowledge.

Gateway of Shenzhen Southern University of Science and Technology Proposal / penda
Titled 'Between earth and sky', this proposal for the new Gateway of Shenzhen Southern University of Science and Technology by penda is a metaphor of formal contrasts to design a campus landmark. Their design for an entrance sculpture at the University is a connection of 2 opposites: the fluid, lower part connects the gate to the gentle hills of the landscape in the background and carries a grid of lights, which can be seen as a connection to the cosmos - a contrast of the earth and the sky. More images and architects' description after the break.

Thanks Mike, PM sent.
Also, for others interested, it appears that a good number of dyes can be had on eBay at reasonable prices from various lab liquidators. You might not have the pick of the litter, but wait long enough and I bet the right dyes come around. Same goes for sensitizing dyes, dye-imbition dyes, and all the like.

Schwarzenegger, Lawmakers Cancel Planned Budget Talks
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and top lawmakers canceled scheduled talks over how to close a $19.1 billion budget deficit as a compromise on easing state pension costs remains out of reach.
The governor and the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Senate and the Assembly, known as the Big Five, had planned to meet today after breaking from closed-door talks yesterday without reaching an agreement. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, a Democrat, Assembly Republican Leader Martin Garrick and Senate Republican leader Dennis Hollingsworth all said pensions remain a sticking point holding up a final agreement.
"All sides recognize that some pension reforms have to be put in place and that the budget can't be balanced without the necessary pension reform," Garrick said after leaving Schwarzenegger's office yesterday.
Schwarzenegger and the lawmakers announced Sept. 24 that they had agreed to a framework to end a stalemate over the deficit that has left the state without a budget since its fiscal year began July 1, the longest it's ever gone without a spending plan. They said they aimed to complete the details of the agreement by yesterday. Schwarzenegger has said he won't sign any spending plan unless lawmakers agree to roll back pension benefits for state workers to 1999 levels.
Pension Issues
The governor has suggested limiting state pension costs by requiring workers to contribute 5 percent more from their pay, pushing back retirement age, and basing benefits on the three years of highest wages instead of one.
Democrats, including Assembly Speaker John Perez, a former labor organizer from Los Angeles, have resisted Schwarzenegger's demands. They have insisted such changes be made through contract negotiations with unions.
"We still believe that collective bargaining is the appropriate and important way to finalize agreements with the representatives of the state employees," Steinberg, from Sacramento, said after leaving the governor's office yesterday.
Schwarzenegger, a Republican nearing the end of his term, has already brokered similar concessions from unions for 35,000 California workers and is talks with the largest, the Service Employees International Union.

LAS CRUCES >> When the call came in from his son, Dallas-based Chef William Wilson, Bradley Wilson did not take the question too seriously.
"He called up and said, 'When are we going to open the restaurant again? I said, 'Whenever you want to,'" Bradley said. "I thought he'd find something else, that this was just a whim."
But William was serious.
The son, 25, who grew up working in his dad's eatery in Ruidoso named Bradley D's, had originally thought he would not want to stay in the restaurant business, but that changed once he started college and the career has led out of state and back as now father and son have opened a new restaurant, this one in Las Cruces.
Bradley D and William B Restaurant at 2540 El Paseo Road -- in the same building where Lemongrass Thai restaurant used to be housed --opened last week.
The menu is what Bradley calls "American comfort food" with items like meatloaf, chicken fried steak, hamburgers, steak, seafood and other dishes.
"We looked in Ruidoso but they wanted an arm and a leg (for rent)," Bradley, 58, said.
The family restaurateurs, which also includes wife and mom Sylvia -- son Michael lives in Oklahoma -- checked out several places in Las Cruces before they walked into the El Paseo location.
"This was the one that wowed us," Sylvia said.
"We saw this place and it hit us," Bradley added.
Bradley was born in California, lived in Arizona and went to high school in El Paso. He has been involved in the food industry for most of his adult life.
"I have been in food service since I was 16 years old," he said. "I started off as dishwasher. I always liked to cook and I didn't know what I was going to do when I graduated from high school and my mom said, 'Why don't you go to cooking school?' So I went to Dallas."
He graduated from El Centro College and began a career that took him out of the country and also led him to Santa Teresa Country Club and finally to Ruidoso.
William grew up in Ruidoso where Bradley worked for the country club for a decade before the family opened Bradley D's.
"Since the first restaurant, when I was 12 or so I was working dishwasher and all of that," he said.
He decided to attend school in Las Cruces and enrolled at New Mexico State University to study engineering.
"That wasn't my thing, so I started taking classes in hospitality and tourism, and cooking (at a school-run eatery). I started liking it again."
William left NMSU and attended culinary school at Bradley's alma mater in Dallas. From there, he worked at a country club in Dallas and also in celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck's restaurant 560.
Then he decided to call home.
"It has been a dreamof mine to open my own restaurant with my dad," William said. "He is the reason why I am in this business."
The restaurant
Bradley D and William B Restaurant is open for lunch from Tuesday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday for brunch. Dinner hours are 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday to Thursday and 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Some of the items on the lunch menu: chicken pot pie, braised beef ribs, meatloaf, sandwiches. At dinner, seafood, steak and pasta are served. too. At Sunday brunch, traditional egg dishes will join chicken and waffles, omelets and seafood.
The phone number is 575-652-3871.
Brook Stockberger may be reached at 575-541-5457.

iPhone 3GS being deliberately withheld in Spain?
updated 11:00 am EDT, Mon October 12, 2009
Telefonica may be attempting to clear 3G stock
The iPhone 3GS is essentially unavailable in Spain, reports from the country claim. The device is believed to be in short or non-existent supply from official carrier Telefonica, as well any of the company's associated third-party outlets. Some sources in the region say they have been on multiple waiting lists for weeks or months, in at least once instance going as far back as July.
Telefonica has attributed the problem to Apple, arguing that the company is not producing high enough volumes to meet demand. That view may be backed by other international shortages, and a statement from Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer, saying that the company is working to correct supply issues. Some reports suggest however that Telefonica's mobile division is deliberately withholding 3GS stock, in an attempt to clear out unsold quantities of the iPhone 3G.
When the 3GS was announced for Spain, price cuts as deep as 75 percent are said to have taken effect for the 3G. Telefonica is also claimed to be marketing the 3G as if it were no different from the 3GS, despite the latter having a faster processor, a better camera, video recording and voice control.
At present the only option for getting a 3GS in Spain may involve buying an unlocked phone from the likes of TecnoMobile, which is charging between �699 and �799.
