The quadratic assignment problem, a classical combinatorial optimization problem, has garnered much attention due to its many applications and solution complexity. This research represents the first use of parallelization for path relinking within the QAP setting. We used a simple form of path relinking to focus on the parallel implementation's elements and to determine their impact when used with a method of this type. Our computational results demonstrate highly attractive outcomes despite the procedure's simplicity and show in particular the value of a well-designed parallelization process in this context.

This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my history on deviantART.
Holy crap, you actually replied? This is the 3rd greatest moment in my life.The second being when I got my girlfriend, and the first is when I got baptized.
I love you know.
Okay I admit, that is one heck of a good combo. What problem one can't figure out the other good.
Their eyes look like they're from an old Mickey Mouse Cartoon. Guess the two of them go WAY back.
I love Mass Effect!! XD and MLP as well!
I would've never thought of putting these two in the same pic! big ups!
I would've never thought of putting these two in the same pic! big ups!
I like this but if they were both in a game they'd probably meet the same fate of being the only tolerable romance option until a better one came around (lol Tali forever.)
Twilight and Liara would be great friends. They would also have so much to talk about. They're probably the most well-read members of their teams, they had so many adventures, and they've end up saving the world from super-powerful monsters.
very cute!
Liara: "Twilight Sparkle, do you know anything about the Reapers?"
Twilight: "I-..."
Shepard: "They want slaves... or rezourzez."

AN accountant claiming constructive dismissal against the lingerie company of Michelle Mone told an employment tribunal:
"Staff who got on the wrong side of her had their lives made hell."
Hugh McGinley, who worked for MJM International for six years before resigning, claiming pressure and stress, gave evidence for a second day at a tribunal in Glasgow.
He said: "In my six years there if staff had a dispute or got on the wrong side of Michelle their lives would be made hell."
Mr McGinley is claiming £20,000 compensation for constructive dismissal.
He looked visibly upset when he told of finding out that a listening device had been discovered last year in the office of Scott Kilday, the firm's operations manager.
He said he was in Mr Kilday's office up to 20 times day discussing business and personal family matters.
When asked how he felt when he realised his private conversations were being listened to, he said: "it just sickens me."
Mr McGinley said he reported the bugging incident to police and was told it was not a criminal matter.
The tribunal continues next week.

If there is tension between Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow and his backup last season, Brady Quinn, Tyler Hansen hasn't seen it.
The former Colorado quarterback works out several times a week with the two pros, whom he says have gone out of their way to help him prepare for pro day at CU in early March and the NFL draft in April.
Quinn and Tebow were in the news Tuesday when unflattering comments Quinn made about Tebow in an interview with GQ magazine came to light.
Hansen said he was surprised when he heard about the controversy because nothing he has seen from Tebow and Quinn has led him to believe they might be feuding.

Air Rifles
An Airgunner Birthday Party
Looking to have a great time outdoors with your kids (or anyone for that matter)? Then pull out the airguns because that's exactly what Tim from Airgun Hobbyist did. Tim threw quite the birthday party for his 14 year-old son, Ben, at their North Carolina home. The party lasted over four hours and saw 1000 pellets and BBs fired downrange with 30 different airguns and hundreds of different targets to choose from.
They started by preparing their home made range with some painted targets consisting of over 200 empty CO2 cartridges, 50 vegetable cans, dozens of soda cans, 80 water balloons, ice targets and a few rotten eggs. They also set up a few commercial targets including the center piece, the Right Now Range that held Shatter Blast targets, soda cans and some large bulls eye targets.
Safety First
The targets were placed a minimum of 30 feet away from the firing line and each guest was given safety glasses to wear in case of a ricochet and were of course instructed on safety rules. Backstops were also used behind the targets to protect any wildlife they may have been wandering through.
The Airguns
There were many Umarex airguns at this little party including the Colt Peacemaker, Colt Commander, Colt Python, Walther PPQ, Walther PPS, Walther CP88, a S&W 586 and a Makarov. The Umarex Fusion took down quite a few long range targets and was fired for a fairly long time without needing to replace the CO2.
The Umarex Steel Force and the M712 weren't as lucky though. The CO2 was constantly being replaced because everyone wanted to shoot them! The M712 was the favorite in full auto mode, and the Steel Force was another favorite with its six round burst mode.
The biggest hit was the Walther Lever Action western style rifle, which felt right at home in this shooting gallery style range. The Umarex Morph 3X was another favorite with its ability to "morph". It made a great choice for shooters of all sizes.
Everyone left with a smile on their face and comments such as "We should do this more often!" The family also got to enjoy some private shooting time knocking down the remaining targets the next day before clean up.
Top 12 Air Rifles From Gun Buyer's Guide 2015
If you didn't think our airguns were great before, you'll definitely think so now. Umarex has claimed 5 of the 12 spots in Tactical Life's Top 12 Air Rifles From Gun Buyer's Guide 2015.
Umarex Fusion
The Umarex Fusion is a single-shot rifle and uses CO2 valve technology and Umarex's SilencAir 5-chamber noise dampening system to create an amazingly quite airgun. The Fusion takes a 12 gram CO2 capsule, has an average FPS of 750, and also features a light weight synthetic stock. The Fusion also comes with a 4X32 scope included, helping you to create a remarkably accurate airgun.
Umarex Morph 3X
The Umarex Morph 3X has the awesome ability to morph from a rifle to a pistol, giving you two airguns in one! The Morph 3X has a built in 30-shot magazine and Fiber Optic sights. The gun is powered by a 12 gram CO2 capsule and has a velocity of 600 FPS as a rifle and 450 FPS as a pistol. The Morph 3X has a synthetic stock with a light weight design that makes the gun easy to handle and the "Morphing" process is done easily by any airgunner.
Umarex Octane
The Umarex Octane is one of two break-barrel rifles first introduced under the Umarex brand. The Octane is powered by the ReAxis Reverse-Axis Gas Piston, which is unique because this piston operates in reverse of other gas pistons. A magnum velocity air rifle, the Octane can reach up to 1450 feet per second with an alloy pellet. It is equipped with a SilencAir suppressor with five chambers that significantly reduces muzzle noise. The Octane also comes with a 3-9X40 scope, all-weather stock, and adjustable 2-stage trigger.
Walther Lever Action
The Walther Lever Action is a CO2 powered rifle and has a rifled blued barrel (and receiver) and is made with elegant hardwood that is smoothly formed with a classic straight stock. The Lever Action rifle is equipped with an adjustable rear sight and an 8-shot rotary magazine and has a FPS of 630.
Walther LGV Competition Ultra
The Walther LGV Competition Ultra is a reintroduction of the original Walther LGV, which was a match rifle manufactured in the late '60s and early '70s. The LGV has a 3 lb trigger that can easily be adjusted to suit your preferences. This rifle, while having the power for hunting, is also accurate enough that you can expect to be hitting bullseyes all day long. The LGV is also equipped with its "Vibration Reduction System" and "Super Silent Technology", which means no spring noise, no creaks, no groans, and an exceptionally smooth shot cycle.

Don't Bend Your Break Barrel Rifle
The Umarex USA Service Department typically receives one or two break barrel rifles per week that have upward bent barrels. At first, this might seem like a strange phenomenon. After all, to cock a break barrel rifle, one typically has to pull down on the barrel of the gun, not up. Why, then, would we see so many upward bent barrels?
This upward bending of the barrel occurs when a person has the gun in an open cocked position, safety OFF, and then pulls the trigger. The result of this situation is that the barrel slams shut with extreme force and bends the barrel upwards. After this occurs, the gun may or may not cock depending on what sort of internal damage has occurred. When this situation happens, we suggest not firing the gun again until it has been evaluated by our qualified gunsmiths to see how the problem might be fixed.
The rifle most likely will not be able to be sighted in due to the barrel pointing in a slightly upwards direction. Many times the trigger tongue will be broken and the stock may be cracked at the pistol grip area when the rifle has been discharged in this way. In most situations, our gunsmith can disassemble the rifle and adjust the barrel back to its original position with the use of our barrel press. The barrel press is an extremely large, heavy press that exerts a tremendous amount of force on the barrel to straighten it out. The press itself is a fundamental tool to any quality gunsmith.
The rifle is reassembled and test fired after the barrel is straightened.
After the barrel is adjusted to once again be straight, the rifle is reassembled by our gun techs, and then it goes directly to our shooting range to fire several pellets in order to ensure it will properly sight in. We do initial testing on the gun range and sight the rifle in to be accurate. After the rifle's quality has been ensured, we take care to properly clean and service the other aspects of the rifle before returning the gun to its rightful owner.
To prevent this situation from ever occurring to you, please always practice safe gun handling, making certain that the gun is on Safe and your finger is not within the trigger guard area until a safe target has been acquired. Only after a target has been sighted should the gun's safety be moved to the fire position and your trigger finger placed inside the trigger guard area. Following these steps will ensure that your gun is never damaged and no one is injured in the process.
We can be reached between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM CDT. Please feel free to call us any time at (479) 646-4210 option 7 if you have a question about one of our products or send us an email via our contact us page.

The Ruger Blackhawk Air Rifle
Umarex USA continues to bring economical air guns to the American consumer that perform well beyond the expectations of the average shooter. A great example of what is available to the small game hunter and pest shooter is the new Ruger® Blackhawk® Air Rifle.
Available in two variations, the gun I received was the more powerful of the two. There is a version that features extremely easy cocking, and only shoots around 490 fps with the average .177 caliber pellet. However, as a hunter, I almost always opt for the more powerful versions as long as the shooting behavior is manageable and the cocking effort within the realm of reason.
If the Blackhawk Air Rifle looks familiar, it should. It is based upon the venerable Diana Model 34, an air gun that is a classic. This Blackhawk Air Rifle features a synthetic, ambidextrous stock that is comfortable for both right and left-handed shooters. The fiber optic open sights make target acquisition easy and quick, handy for when your shooting opportunity on a nervous squirrel or rabbit calls for a fast shot. Or, if you are like me and prefer a scope for finer shot placement, the Ruger Blackhawk Air Rifle comes with a 4×32 scope and mounts included.
My first opportunity to use the new rifle was on a pest control situation. If ever there was a pest, it would be the European starling. They rob my bird feeders, kill my bluebirds, and generally take over the best nesting sites that our native birds need in order to survive. So at every opportunity, I take them out!
I had finished sighting in the open sights on this air rifle and had it leaning against the kitchen door to do duty as my bird feeder gun. Some serious snow had fallen within the last evening, and birds were flocking to my feeders for an easy meal during the bad weather. Sure enough, the starlings started showing up to ruin the party, acting like the avian party crashers they are. I eased outside to do something about the situation, and with a single shot, the starling party was over. And one of them didn't go home!
Having successfully proved the use of this air gun for pest control, I moved on up to small game hunting. Squirrel season is still open here in Kentucky, and I had a new camouflage chair I wanted to try out. Setting up in a likely spot, I chose the Ruger Blackhawk Air Rifle as my armament for the day. It didn't take long for a large fox squirrel to climb up to a dining perch in a tree and begin working on a nut it had found under the snow. With a properly placed shot, the squirrel came tumbling down. The Ruger Blackhawk Air Rifle and RWS Superdome pellets made a lethal combination for this tree rodent!
Most air gun shooters like to keep an air gun around that is capable of handling larger pests. The possum and raccoon come to mind in this category, and though I would hesitate to take on a large raccoon with the smaller .177 caliber air rifle, a possum provided no challenge to the Ruger Blackhawk Air Rifle. I have issues every year in regards to what animals are going to move into my old barn, and this possum had to go. Coming out in the open at the wrong time of day earned this pest a shot to the head, ending the issue of where it would live for good. The power provided by the Ruger Blackhawk Air Rifle proved more than it could handle, and the accuracy provided by the rifle put the pellet exactly where I needed it to go.
If I had any suggestions for Umarex USA in regards to this rifle, I would opt for a slightly longer scope rail to allow the use of the longer-based 1-piece mounts that are so popular among air gun shooters. These style mounts provide some serious clamping surface on the dovetails, a greatly desired feature for spring-piston air guns. The current rails only allow the shorter-style 1-piece mounts.
I can recommend the Ruger Blackhawk Air Rifle for most game and pests that range in size from the possum on down. The air gun has the accuracy needed, is pleasant to shoot and practice with, and will provide many hours of shooting fun and enjoyment for its owner. Give one a try and see if you don't agree!
Hunting with an RWS Model 34
by: Randall Mitchell
The RWS Model 34 from Diana of Germany is one of the most sold spring-piston rifles known today. Many air gun enthusiasts have one of these fine air guns in their possession and use it for plinking and fun shooting. However, many individuals miss out on the hunting uses this fine example of German engineering brings to the table.
I have been shooting the RWS Model 34 for a number of years now, having owned one or two in the past. Air guns at my house tend to come and stay for awhile, then move on to another worthy owner who shows interest in it while I'm at the range or shooting with a group of friends. So when my new RWS showed up on the porch from Umarex, I decided to write a brief article on the hunting uses of the Model 34.
When you hunt with an air gun, you will find there are debates in the air gun world as to which caliber is best for different game. I consider the .22 the best all-around caliber if you are going to own just one air gun…but where's the fun in that? As you hunt more often and learn the differences in the calibers and their effectiveness, you'll find the ability of the shooter a bigger factor than the caliber of the air gun in question. The rifle I ordered was a .177 caliber, and I quickly opened up a tin of RWS Superdomes and began breaking in the gun.
I shoot a couple of hundred pellets through an air gun before worrying too much about velocity measurements and accuracy tests. New spring piston guns need a break-in period to allow the internal parts to start working smoothly together, so shooting a half-tin or more of pellets is a great way to allow those parts to mesh and start doing what they were designed to do at top efficiency. I also took a moment to run a swab or two down the barrel to remove the preservatives inside the barrel. With a clean bore and some ammo already sent down range, I was ready to do some hunting!
I own about 3 acres on the edge of town, with lots of old-growth trees filled with hollows. These hollows make excellent nesting sites for woodpeckers and bluebirds, two of my favorite birds to watch and enjoy. However, they are set upon by English sparrows and European starlings constantly, so I try to even the odds in the favor of the native species, and eliminate every sparrow and starling I can find. Stalking along the edge of my property, I was offered several shots at starlings and sparrows that were competing over hollows and cavities for nesting rights.
The first sparrow I caught was arguing with a relative of hers over who had the best roost on the bush they were in. The male sparrows were also hanging around, trying to catch the attention of the females. I shot the female first at 10 yards, and the rest flew up into a tree to figure out what was going on. At that point, a Superdome was sent precisely to one of the male sparrows, putting him down for the count. That's a couple of English sparrows that won't be arguing with my bluebirds this spring!
Next came the European starlings, airborne Vikings I call them. From the front porch, I harvested the first with an upward shot. When shooting up, be sure you can call your shots—shooting at elevated targets or targets lower than you can be tricky sometimes. You need to hold a little bit under what you might think for such shots. Starling #2 was a longer shot of about 30 yards as it was searching for food on the lawn. After the shot connected, the starlings just folded up and went to sleep..
The Superdome pellets from this pellet gun are both accurate and devastating on pests and small game as well. There is currently no open season for small game in Kentucky right now, so I had to limit my hunting to the avian pest species that you see in the picture. Each pest was a one-shot, one-kill example of the usefulness that the Model 34 can provide as a pest control tool and small game hunting rifle. But during the small game seasons, rabbits and squirrels fall to this combination quite often. In addition to my experience with the Model 34, I was at the local police chief's office recently, talking about pigeon control. He showed me the tool he uses for quiet and efficient removal of feral pigeons. Want to guess what it was? Yep, an RWS Model 34 in .177 caliber. He likes to use head shots, and finds the air gun very accurate and up to the job.
Just how accurate is the Model 34? It's funny you should ask. Now don't think I'm crazy here, but unusual targets are a favorite of mine. I'll sit 10 yards from a ripe fruit tree and pick off the wasps and yellow jackets that buzz around the tree if the rifle I am shooting is up to the task. So I want to show you a picture that you may or may not recognize right off.
While waiting for another starling to come winging into range, I noticed a large housefly sitting on a cardboard box that was about 5 yards away. He was just sitting there in the sun, and I just couldn't resist! I placed the sights on the fly, and at 5 yards left nothing but what you see in the picture.
The remnants of the housefly.
Nothing but a splash left for any evidence that a fly ever sat there. Now that is accuracy! And that accuracy extends out to further ranges in proportion to the ability of the shooter. This is a well-made rifle that brings home the bacon when shooting pests and small game.

Ain't playing with a full deck. Whacked-out wiring. Missing marbles." Irreverent, foulmouthed seventeen-year-old Cricket is the oldest ward in a Catholic boys' home in Maine—and his life sucks. With prospects for the future that range from professional fighter to professional drug dealer, he seems doomed to a life of "criminal rapscallinity." In fact, things look so bleak that Cricket can't help but wonder if his best option is one final cliff dive into the great unknown. But then Wynona Bidaban steps into his world, and Cricket slowly realizes that maybe, just maybe, life doesn't totally suck.

3) Lacrosse — Syracuse captured the 1998 crown with a 13-8 win over Cornell.
4) Men's soccer — UCLA blanked Stanford 1-0 2002.
5) Men's basketball — Ohio State faced Cincinnati in '61 and '62. Cincinnati won both games.

good quality

Posted by 4925567746852092463 on Feb 07, 2013
they are very good quality, very soft but a little bit tiny; they come in a really cute package that looks like a book but the powder brush i don't think u can use it for powder because it is too small, maybe for blush/bronzer; great for taking with you in vacations
Beautiful set, fine control
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by juliem on Feb 11, 2013
I love these brushes. They are aesthetically very pleasing (so I don't actually want to leave them in the cute storage box they came in) and they let me precisely control what goes where on my face. I think this set would be more complete with one more 'bigger' brush though.
not bad
Posted by 5725953634036261471 on Apr 13, 2013
They are beautiful and very soft, but i thought, it would be bigger. However i like it.
Love these, so soft
Posted by Ingrid75 on Jun 24, 2013
Great brushes from Eco Tools. Quite tiny, but I like that. Not too heavy to handle. And: they look great.

IBM Extends Its Real-Time Collaboration Platform to Millions of Microsoft Users and Mobile Workers
The following contains information about the future direction of IBM products, but it not a commitment that IBM will deliver specific features or capabilities, or that IBM will deliver any product releases at all. Future product direction, dates, features or capabilities can change at any time without notice. The screen shots in the blog represent non-production build and the UI is subject to change.
Most of my previous blogs have been focused on the connect client enhancements and functionality. This week's Sametime Monday (technical difficulty on Sunday) is focused on the meeting in 7.5. While the connect client typically draws more attention for Sametime users, I want to make sure that people are aware that IBM is dedicated to improving the meeting service. I attend about 6 Sametime meetings a week and only about 1 or 2 of those meetings are on beta 7.5. Most of the time I am attending the meeting but the other week, I hosted my first Sametime 7.5 meeting and had the chance to really take the new features for a test drive. My favorite feature was the ability to revoke and provide permission's to users by default before the meeting started.
What I would really like to do is get some feedback on what meeting features you would like me to display and blog about. Below is a short list of some of the features.
A meeting Welcome page - When you enter a meeting, there is a new Welcome page that includes the meeting name, meeting date and time, the name of the meeting chair, and any meeting description information.
Improved meeting creation - The user interface for creating a scheduled meeting is enhanced.
Automatic reconnect to meetings - If you lose connectivity during a meeting, automatic attempts are made to restore the connection.
Improved file conversion tools and screen sharing - Enhanced display of files in a meeting. Screen sharing takes place more quickly and the participants list shows who is currently sharing their screen.
The ability to upload files during a meeting for any participant with permission to present - Anyone with permission to present can upload files on-the-fly, during a meeting.
Support for additional file types - There is now an expanded list of supported file types, including support for PDF and ODF files.
Easier permission handling :-D - The user interface for setting permission's is simplified, with a single dialog box making it easy to specify who has permission's. By default, all participants can present.
Improved slides, whiteboard, and screen sharing user interface and tools - The Meeting Room now has three tabbed pages you can use to contribute to and present information:
- Slides - Current presenters present files that have been added to the meeting.
- Sharing - Current presenters show applications running on their computer.
- Whiteboard - Anyone with permission to present can use the enhanced annotation tools to draw and type, for example, to contribute to brainstorming sessions.
Improved telephone service integration - If telephone services are available, meetings that include telephone conference calls have an improved user interface that allows participants to mute themselves and lets chairs track recent speakers.
I appreciate your feedback and comments.

A publication of the Archaeological Institute of America
12th-Century Cahokia Was a "Melting Pot"
Thursday, March 06, 2014
(Photo by L. Brian Stauffer)CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS—Thomas Emerson, State archaeologist and director of the Illinois State Archaeological Survey at the University of Illinois, told the University of Illinois News Bureau that the population of 20,000 people living at Cahokia around A.D. 1100 probably included a number of immigrants. "Such early centers around the world grow by immigration, not by birthrate," he explained. Items thought to have traveled to the urban center through trade may have been carried by new residents. And, an analysis of strontium isotope ratios in the teeth of people buried at Cahokia by bioarchaeologist Kristin Hedman and graduate student Philip Slater indicates that as many as one-third of the residents spent their childhoods somewhere else. "Cahokia, because it was multiethnic and perhaps even multilingual, must have been a virtual 'melting pot' that fostered new ways of living, new political and social patterns and perhaps even new religious beliefs," Emerson added.

I am an Indian guy living in Dubai since around 11 years. I usually travel for business as I work with multiple clients from many different countries around the world. During the travels I love to meet different minded people from local places.. I enjoy trying out different food and traditions of the place, and if someone is visiting me, I'd love to cooking for them either either Indian or some Chinese or other food at times.
My real passion is my 7 year old daughter. I also enjoy reading, camping, desert driving and scuba diving amongst other things.
Hope to see you guys either in my travels to your country or your visit to dubai :)

I bought these blanks here because of the price and used them in my Enfield grenade launching rifle. They worked wonderfully! The 2 1/2 inch grenade launcher flung tennis balls 100 yards every time using these blanks. No misfires occurred. I always assume these are corrosive so I cleaned my Enfield well after use. The cases are boxer primed so I might try cutting them down and reloading for .303 bulleted rounds.

YOU(R) Teen: Losing Weight: The Owner's Manual to Simple and Healthy Weight Management at Any Age
How do you know what foods to avoid and strategies to use when you're face to face with foods that are more evil than an Avengers villain? Here are some tips from YOU(R) Teen Losing Weight that will give you the foundation to help you make healthy living easy(and fun).
Don't undereat. When our ancestors couldn't find food and went for long periods of time without it, their bodies acted like life preservers, storing fat in anticipation of the inevitable periods of famine. The same system works today. When you try to "diet" by going for long periods of time without eating or by eating way too few calories, your brain senses the starvation and sends an SOS signal through your body to store fat because famine is on its way. That's why people who go on extreme fasts and extremely low-calorie diets don't lose the expected weight. They store fat as a natural protective mechanism. To lose weight, you have to keep your body from switching into starvation mode. The only way to do it: eat often, in the form of frequent healthful meals and snacks.
Ballpark (don't obsess) the calories. Some people like to count calories; others can't stand it. So if you are tech-minded, you may like to do the math and track calories. But it's not necessary, especially since there's such a wide range of caloric requirements depending on individual needs. Most teens need a minimum of 2,000 calories a day just to keep their bodies functioning. But athletes—and those of us growing (most teens are!)—may need significantly more than that. Those who are actively trying to lose weight shouldn't go below 1,500 to 1,800 calories a day.
Automate your eating. If any waist management plan is going to work—as in really work—eating right has to become as automatic as it was for our ancestors. That's not as insurmountable as it seems. Just look at one study from The Journal of the American Medical Association. Two groups were assigned two different diets. One went on a diet rich in good-for-YOU foods such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and olive oil, foods found in the typical Mediterranean diet. The other group was not given any specific direction in terms of foods to eat but was instructed to consume specific percentages of fat, carbohydrates, and protein daily.
In short, they had to think a lot about preparing foods and dividing amounts, while the first group had only general guidelines about foods to eat. The groups weren't given guidelines about how much to eat; they let their hunger levels dictate their hunger patterns. When they did that, what happened? Without trying, the first group consumed fewer calories, lost inches, and dropped pounds. The point: the people in the "good-for-YOU-foods group" ate the foods that naturally kept them satiated so that their bodies could seek their playing weights.

Redd Kross have always been a band that should have been bigger. Musicians love them. Music critics too. But larger success has always eluded the L.A. power-pop group, despite releasing a pair of great records in the early '90s. And for a time, it seemed like there might not be any more Redd Kross records. The band's last album, Show World, was released in 1997 and the band had been pretty quiet, even if its members hadn't. But alas, all that changed this year when the band released Researching the Blues, a straight ahead rock & roll record, and a return to form for the band, who have always been led by brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald. For the latest edition of Tell Me About That Album, we caught up with the pair to chat about the record, but the conversation turned to lots of other things too, like David Cassidy, Green River and the ghost of Johnny Ramone. Redd Kross play a free show at Chop Suey on Friday, which you can attend by RSVP'ing here.
Jeff McDonald: Lots of stuff. It would be so funny to hear what that record would sound like if we'd worked on it consistently the whole time.
Steven McDonald: It would sound like black metal.
Jeff: It would be like an audio landfill. We just started it then, but a lot of the work was done a year before it was released.
Steven: We laid down all the basic tracks and maybe a third or a fourth of the vocals in two weeks time, so in some ways I think we did more than half of the record back in 2007. We just went into a regular studio and bashed it out but then it was a process of finishing it that took a long time.
Jeff: It was a weird way to record the record.
Steven: It was by no means a lack of interest or belief in the material. For me, it was a matter of believing in them so fucking much and going, "I don't want this to be finished until it can be the absolute best it can be."
Were all the songs written and done in 2007 then?
Steven: The basic tracks for all of them were done.
Jeff: We made the mistake of saying we were working on a new album a couple of years ago and then every time I'd go out to shows it was like, "When's your new album coming out?" I remember I went last year to this annual Johnny Ramone memorial at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, which is this big thing that happens in Hollywood every year, and I was interviewed on staged, and they said, "So, when's the new album coming out." And I was like, "Oh, next July." And then the album actually came out that next August, so I guess Johnny Ramone actually helped it.
Was this a preferable way to work versus your usual process?
Jeff: I would never want to do it like this again because I can't stand not finishing things. It was haunting me.
Steven: A couple people said, "Oh, Chinese Democracy." At some point, I did feel an enormous weight. We'd taken so long on this. It was like, "This is going to have to be Sgt. Peppers or something." And in reality it's Rubber Soul. It's just a really great, simple record.
Where did the album's title come from? Did the song give way to the title or vice versa?
Steven: That was one of the songs that really kick-started the finishing of the record for me. It had been put together piecemeal for a really long time.
Jeff: It had different choruses.
Steven: Jeff had never come up with the actual lyrics and vocal melody. It was this bitchin' groove, but Jeff got really inspired and finished the vocals to that song and did the crazy wah-wah solos and put a mix together and put it on a CD together with a bunch of other rough mixes that he had done. And he drove me to the airport to go to Australia with my other band Off!, and he said, "I'm really excited about some of the new things I'm doing with the record." I was on the train in Perth, Australia after a 25-hour flight and I had managed to put the CD onto my iPod by then, and I was on the train going to the beach because I was trying to avoid jetlag, and I had a cell phone with really good cell reception. I just heard this guitar solo starting wailing and I said, "Fuck yes!" And he had this new lyric, "Reaearching the blues" and I just loved that. It seemed kind of funny, but also dark and serious. I remember I called him from Australia. I was facing the Indian Ocean and we talked about finishing the record for an hour. And that's what I did. I came home right after that and finished the record. That's when that song became the title track of the album too. What I didn't know, which Jeff told me later, is that I had written that lyric many years earlier.
Can you tell me about the cover, which feels sort of like a classic album band photo?
Jeff: For me personally, that was the goal of the record. I wanted to make a rock album. There are very few solid, poppy rock records coming out. I wanted it to be from a rock band. And when I saw that photo I was like, "That looks like a vintage album cover." And I had the guy who took it put it aside. The whole concept of the album - and a lot of people get it - is that this is a rock & roll album.
Steven: Two guitars, bass and drums, really great melodies and smart lyrics.
Jeff: We wanted a rock & roll album that was like, "Here's the band, here's the music." It's a much harder thing to achieve than people think.
Do you remember the first time you played Seattle?
Jeff: Seattle was always one of our favorite places to play. We started coming there in the mid-80s, and we'd do these shows where the opening acts were always whatever the sound of the time was, like, "Oh, they sound like Fishbone or The Dream Syndicate or R.E.M." When we started playing Seattle and Portland, that's when we started meeting musicians who were in real bands and real bands were playing with us.
Who are you thinking of that you remember meeting?
Jeff: All of the grunge superstars. They all opened for us at one point.
Steven: Not all of them. We never played with Nirvana. There was a pretty monumental show that I just found the flyer for that we did in Tacoma that was actually on the eve of my 20th birthday. We headlined and it was Green River, Soundgarden and Malfunkshun.
Jeff: Green River played with us a lot and we became friends with Mark Arm but those kind of groups were few and far between in the rest of the country. It was always fun to see those bands and know there was something happening.
Steven: We got up to the Pacific Northwest at a pivotal moment in that region. It was the dawn of a scene. I was just talking to Buzz Osborne [of The Melvins] recently and he said [that time] reminds him of our early history, like hanging out with Black Flag in Hermosa Beach and The Descendents and Meat Puppets.
Do you have any favorite memories from making the film The Spirit of '76, which parodied the '70s and was littered with weird pop culture cameos and produced by a Coppola?
Steven: I remember we played the I-Beam in San Francisco and the Coppolas -- Roman and Sophia -- were big fans. We played there like once a month and their dad was starting this company to make low budget genre films. It happened really fast.
Jeff: Their dad had come up with Roger Corman and they wanted to do something like that.
Steven: They had seen the Super 8 films that we had done with Dave Markey, The Teenage Love Dolls, and that really inspired Roman [Coppola], who was producing the film, and it was his first stab at being involved in film production. He was a teenager himself at the time. And it was his concept. He came up with the idea of time travel, sort of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure meets Carwash. And then he assigned Lucas Reiner, who was Carl Reiner's other son, to write the film and possibly direct it. It was his brainchild.
Jeff: It was really fun.
Steven: We went up to Alameda, California, which is a suburb of San Francisco and we spent a few months up there. They put us up in this swingers condo in the marina, and Jeff and I were roommates. We got to hang out with David Cassidy a lot. And Jeff and I were always big proponents of bubblegum music but specifically The Partridge Family and viewing it as great pop records. Those records were written and recorded by the same people who did like Mamas and the Papas records and The Beach Boys records.
Jeff: We were record geeks.
Steven: It'd be in between takes and we'd be like, "OK, David, so it's 1971 and you're in Western Studios and you've got Hal Blaine on drums you're just about to do the lead vocal on "Summer Days," what was that like?"
You were like his worst nightmare.
Steven: Yeah, in his mind he thought he should have been in Traffic or something and he thought we were crazy people.
Jeff: We got him right at the peak of him not having come to terms with that stuff. Now I'm sure it's a different story but then it was a bitter experience.
Steven: It was also hard for him to be doing this '70s farce at the time and then being sequestered with two pop culture fanatics that really wanted to put it on a pedestal and look at it with one of the icons of it. He did not share our enthusiasm.
Jeff: We came out of it going, David Cassidy's cool but he's no Keith Partridge, that's for sure!
What are your current pop culture obsessions?
Steven: I like Korean girl groups. That's my new thing. That call them K-pop but I think that's an unfair trapping because there's a lot of bad Korean pop groups. But there's a handful of groups that I'd put on the level with The Ronettes as far as I'm concerned.
What's the difference between that and like One Direction?
Steven: It's way more abstract, maybe because its Korean. The pop aspect is definitely there but its way more avante garde. One Direction is like if Squeeze were a boy band. My daughter is into One Direction and they didn't play instruments and I wasn't totally taken by them but they kind of did sound like Squeeze.

NEW STUFF! Chocolates and a Tablet Sleeve!
It's Another SHOP UPDATE! For your SUMMER GAME SHOPPING pleasure, we've got an ALL-NEW Fuzzy Tablet Sleeve, an ALL-NEW design for our FAMOUS AADL Chocolate Logos, and limited availability of the last remaining sizes of AADL Summer Shirts! Super Packages yet to come... and maybe a surprise or two yet to be posted... so stay tuned, and as always, THANKS FOR PLAYING!
I wonder whether the super package is included in the 1 or 2 surprise or it's an extra surprise. I am expecting them. How much points do they need? I couldn't decide whether I should spend my limited points now. So exciting.Thank you AADL.
So, for the Reading Game portion of the Summer Game I chose the Chipotle coupon. I got my free Burrito Bowl and I have to say it was extremely delicious. I probably would never have gone there without the coupon/summer game. Thanks!
I'm glad the coffee will be restocked. Looks like I'm going to have a ton of extra AADL travel coffee mugs, as I don't really prefer the lids on these. It would be nice if they were the regular coffee mugs. I am excited to see what new items will be added before the game ends :D
Some small zippered bags would be nice for organizing backpacks and purses. My kids are having a hard time finding interesting prizes and felt previous years had more kid-oriented options. How about an AADL deck of playing cards, smaller cups (not broken!), and some sort of toy are some ideas. How about a library calendar?
I love the idea of playing cards. A beach towel would be nice too. My personal favorite prizes ever were the umbrella and the little flashlights from a couple of years ago. In terms of usefulness, last year my son went to school with his aadl backpack, aadl lunch sack, aadl water bottle and aadl hat.
I like the idea of a calendar, cards, and little zippered bags. One year there was a one-piece puzzle...maybe try a traditional puzzle that's in a zippered bag or pouch? Another thing along the lines of a deck of cards are a little pinball game, or a water toss games (handheld game where the kids press one o two buttons to propel the ring up onto a peg) -- things that kids can play in the car on a summer road trip.
Don't get me wrong, I've loved all of the summer game prizes that have been offered this year. But just in case you were looking for suggestions ;-)
Oh, man, the umbrella! My kids and I all pooled our points in anticipation, but it sold out so quickly we didn't get it. Every time it rains, we regret our loss.
I keep mentioning these items because I have way too many tote bags.
I'm sure the AADL staff is tired of reading about how much I LOVED LOVED LOVED last year's picnic blanket and wished for its return (yes, I know I need to get over it).
After reading through this year's comments, I'm glad I'm not the only one who was crazy about it. Is there any tiny chance that it would make it into a retro version of a mega prize? Can someone that was offered last year be considered retro? ;-)
I'm happy to see the shirts are back, but sad that only some of the sizes are available. I wear an adult small, but had to order a kids large and hope for the best. Well, if worst comes to worst, I have a shirt for one of my younger siblings. ;)
I've noticed that the fuzzy fake tablet sleeve isn't flying off the shelf. I'm intrigued, but not sure if I want to order it. I'm curious if some of the items not sold out will be available to look at during the Summer Game wrap up party?
my most-used prize over the years is my AADL tote bag - I think i got it the first year? It accompanies me on most trips to the library, along with my RFID card that i think was also a prize (and is very useful, whether or not it was a prize). The bag has held up very well, although the side without logo appears to be wearing thin (i can see light through it).
I love my RFID library card! It's outlived the machines that could read it. Maybe we need another library event to make a decorated secondary library card! Either that, or I'll have to figure out how to make my own bar codes, hmm...
@yaldah - We look forward to being able to print a new batch of shirts and have fresh sizes! Just couldn't quite fit that into the prize budget for this year, though, which is why we only have certain sizes left/available.
I just picked up my chocolate. It smells AMAZING.
I wanted to double-check -- there's no badge associated with this year's chocolate, right? I didn't see a summer game code in the envelope, but I vaguely remember the code being accidentally left out of last year's envelopes.

In my Google News search for "McDonalds" just now, this is the second prominent story.
A lot of people are saying to McDs: Now that you've gone 365Black, we're not coming 365Back.
All hail a new Gap, a freshly minted disproportionality.
Let me be the first to be crazy enough to speculate that fast feeders market to black kids because black kids and black non-kids love the fast feeders and think their offerings to be the ne plus ultra of culinary excellence. That said, I have it on good authority that all the fast feeder chains, to the extent that any of their food is "good," ship the good food to their white locations and send the crap food to black ones, because they and everyone else knows that Africanus Bellcurvius will eat anything that comes out of the clown's head, because they're lovin' it.
But if this really is a problem, there is an easy solution:
McDonalds should get rid of 365Black.

Inspired by an Instapundit post, I checked out the census tracts that the USDA considers food deserts around here.
So, river bottoms, industrial areas and the airport are food deserts. They better be!
Lafayette Square, within comfortable walking distance to Soulard Market if you're in halfway decent shape, is a food desert. I can assure you that it's not a money desert.
Some of the other colored tracts surprise me, because they either have or are very close to a lot of legitimate first world food merchants.
What is totally unsurprising is that ESL and surrounding parts of northwestern St. Clair County are food deserts. They're also civilization deserts.
Though the more I think of it, the more I realize that "food desert" is a census tract which has neither a union shop/UFCW supermarket nor a Whole Paycheck/Trader Blows. That's also unsurprising, that Obama's USDA is focused on unions and hipster yuppies.

And to this news, I say: It's aboot time, eh?
