I found this nice photo of me and my mom in an album at my sister's house. Of course, I don't look quite like that anymore. But it's a nice pic of my mom anyhow.

Happy Valentines Day from the Book of Yum!
I have a confession to make. I don't really like brownies. I know that this is shocking, because I love (dark) chocolate and have something of a chocolate addiction that I'm trying to break. But the thing is, I like chocolate. Dark, rich, unadulterated chocolate. The bread-y cake-y chocolate thing is not really my favorite. In fact, unless it is a rich flourless chocolate cake or ganache…. I don't even like chocolate cake. But the DH loves brownies. He loves cake-y, bread-y, sweet chocolate brownies. In all our years of being married (we will celebrate our 10th this June) I don't think I have ever made him gluten-free brownies from scratch. I have deigned to mix up the odd batch of gluten-free brownie from a mix, but that's it. He has never complained, but when he recently whipped up his own batch of gluten-free brownies from the Bette Crocker mix, I felt a little twinge. Why hadn't I ever made him a good gluten-free brownie from scratch? I bake everything else from scratch, so why not that too, for a DH that has been so supportive of his gluten-free and vegetarian wife's diet? So I resolved to remedy this error, and soon. Valentine's Day was the perfect occasion to show my love with a little baking.
What is something your significant other likes to eat that you don't particularly care for?
Last weekend I took Toddler Yum to Michael's craft store to pick up supplies for making some homemade valentines for her daycare classmates. I picked up two heart cookie cutters, along with some fun stamps (including an alphabet set for stamping her name), heart ribbon, and more. I'd already bought little notepads with Valentine's Day messages from Target, and had some scrapbook sheets at home that I planned to use as the base for the Valentines. On Sunday Toddler Yum and I got up early and spent the morning assembling valentines. We used the large heart cookie cutter as a stencil and I cut the thick scrapbook paper into large hearts. Then we taped notepads on the front of the heart and I set Toddler Yum loose with stamps, colored pencils, and crayons to decorate the back. We stamped her name on each one, and I finished the valentine with a little heart bow on the front. Toddler Yum takes her valentines to school tomorrow and can't wait to give her favorite teachers and friends their cards!
This little craft project left me with these wonderful heart cookie cutters. I used them this morning to make Toddler Yum some gluten-free toast hearts topped with honey-almond butter spread. Then this afternoon after I made a batch of a gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free mexican chocolate brownies, I decided to use the small heart cookie cutter to cut out heart brownies. They were beautiful, and it was so much easier than rolling out cookie dough and cutting out the raw cookie shapes. Toddler Yum was so excited to see me make brownies that she opened her eyes wide and made an "oh my goodness" face with her mouth, clutching her little fists up in the air. "Two thumbs up" she said, pointing her index fingers at the sky. The DH gave these cake brownies a big thumbs up too, and so did my dairy-free mother and visiting father. "These are so much better than the mix brownies," she said. As for me, I liked my last minute addition of cinnamon that was inspired by spicy mexican chocolate. I almost added chili powder too, but decided that the cinnamon was wild and crazy enough for our household. The DH also appreciated the zesty cinnamon in his brownie. He wasn't quite ready to say they were better than a box mix, but he said they were "very yummy." Being a Libra, he doesn't like to pick favorites.
One extra cool thing about this recipe is that it is truly 100% soy-free, even to the point of being free of soy-lecithin. Unsweetened chocolate or baking chocolate is often quite pure, and doesn't contain emulsifiers like soy lecithin. Woo hoo! I could even serve this to my profoundly soy-sensitive friend! (Oops, guess my secret plan is out since she reads my blog!)
I hope you enjoy my gluten-free brownie recipe. It was fun and easy to make, and I managed to make a rich and decadent dessert reasonably healthy, with no refined starches and limited amounts of processed sugar. Happy Valentines Day from all of us at the Book of Yum!

Gluten-free Mexican Chocolate Cake Brownie Recipe
1/2 cup grapeseed oil
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup organic white sugar
1/2 cup date sugar, coconut sugar, or more organic white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup sorghum or rice flour
1/3 cup almond flour (finely ground, like honeyville)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Line 8*8 cake pan with parchment paper in the bottom and grease sides and bottom with a little palm shortening. Preheat oven to 350F.
Put unsweetened chocolate and grapeseed oil in a microwavable bowl or double boiler. Melt in microwave on medium power for around two minutes, checking at the one minute mark and stirring if needed. Or, if you prefer, you can melt the chocolate and oil in a double boiler bowl over boiling or simmering water until you can stir it into a creamy liquid.
Pour chocolate oil mixture into a medium bowl and add your sugar and vanilla. Let cool while you combine your dry ingredients (flours, baking soda and cinnamon) in another medium bowl. When chocolate-sugar mixture cools, you can add two eggs and whisk to combine. Stir dry ingredients and add your melted chocolate and egg mixture.
Bake in parchment paper lined pan on 350 for 30 minutes.
Let cool in pan. If you want to make heart brownies, take a heart cookie cutter and cut out heart shapes. The parchment paper lining makes this really easy. You can remove each heart with the cookie cutter and place them on a decorative plate. There will be leftover brownie scraps that I'm sure will go uneaten. NOT! Perfect for chef snacking or treating the kid or other family members with while you save the heart brownies for your valentine.

Description of the illustration node_moves_several.eps
This figure illustrates a topology before several attempted movements of node N1. The text after the illustration explains whether or not the operation would be allowed for each attempted move of node N1 to points P1, P2, P3, and P4.
The topology includes a polygon and point P4, which is outside the polygon. Edges E3 and E1 go across the polygon, dividing it into faces F1 (above) and F2 (below), and these edges meet at node N1. Points P1 and P2 are on face F1, point P3 and isolated node N2 are on face F2, and point P4 is outside the polygon. Edge E2 extends from node N1 into face F1, edge E4 extends from node N1 into face F2, and edge E5 extends from an unspecified point on the perimeter of the polygon into face F1.

Charter business is completely different than scheduled flights. You cannot run all business models at the same time, one have to choose which model to follow, Legacy carrier, LCC, charter, ACMI whatever. But these shouldn't be mixed, otherwise you'll end up like JAT, Adria, B&H etc.Delete

Things are improving during the summer. They will operate charters from Split to Evenes, Lulea, Ornskoldsvik, Ostersund, Skelleftea and Sundsvall and Kristiansund.

There are barely enough planes during for regular flights during the summer, which is why they wetlease planes regularly.Delete

Most of companies have great profit in first quarter of this year due to low petrol cost. For example IAG made profit of 155 million EUR compare to 25 million in first 3 month of 2015.Delete
So, how can anyone even think that CEO will stay with such a disaster results. Croatia should be profitable in first three months and should have several dozens of profit in all year period concerning the fact how low price of gas is, and subventions they get from PSO. Instead they sell engines, planes, Pleso prijevoz, plan to sell LHR slots... to make imagine profitability.

They have almost non competition from LCC in their base, huge PSO, tourism in Zagreb and Adriatic, huge Diaspora, migrants inside Croatia (Dalmatia to Zagreb)... Carriers that has nothing like that were profitable in 1st three months.
This CEO is disaster. To have one of worst results in 1st 3 months in Europe with potentials like Croatia means that he does not have a clue how to run business.

There are so many examples of companies with huge and record profit that one example means nothing. And even with this 8 million minus it is less than minus of Croatia. But Lufthansa business was more than well in Q1:Delete
"The leading financial performance indicator of the Group's business success – its Adjusted EBIT – improved, however, by EUR 114 million to EUR -53 million.
But first-quarter unit costs for 2016 also reflect the success of cost reduction actions taken throughout the Lufthansa Group, while the growth of Eurowings had a further beneficial impact on overall unit cost levels.
The Group's net income for the first quarter amounted to EUR -8 million (Q1 2015: EUR 425 million). This is a EUR 70 million improvement on the adjusted prior-year result, since the 2015 first-quarter result included a EUR 503 million financial profit from the early conversion of the JetBlue convertible bond.
Lufthansa Passenger Airlines improves EBIT by EUR 244 million
The earnings improvement of Lufthansa Group's in the first quarter is driven by Lufthansa Passenger Airlines and Austrian Airlines. All other operating companies in the Group reported lower results. The Adjusted EBIT of Lufthansa Passenger Airlines increased by EUR 244 million, while Austrian Airlines posted a EUR 23 million improvement. The Adjusted EBIT at SWISS was down EUR 28 million, owing largely to a decline in demand in the face of the strong Swiss franc. Eurowings, the results of which are reported separately for the first time, achieved a first-quarter Adjusted EBIT that was EUR 33 million below its prior-year level. This reflects the start-up costs of the company's long-haul operations and the costs for its structural setup."

With all said and done, I don't fancy their model and would wish there would be more focus on LJU, but in the end they are a independant company, that is trying to live in a free market.

11. Belavia 1,6 million passengers, 23 planes, 40 destinations
12. Azerbajan 1,4 million passengers, 31 planes, 22 destinations
13. Bulgaria Air 1,2 million passengers, 11 planes, 22 destinations
14. Adria, 1,1, million passengers, 14 planes, 23 destinations
Tinny company is the one that has less than 1 million passengers per year (like Montenegro).
In European level (including LCC):
Air Serbia is in 37th position
Croatia is in 41st position.
Without LCC difference is just 3 places (Blue Air is 40th).
So, Air Serbia and Croatia are in same league, and Air Serbia is slightly bigger.
- Anonymous3 May 2016 at 15:11
your classification is logical (and backed up by numbers). When JU goes above 4-5 mln then we can say they are in different league from OU. Rgds from Belgrade.
Great info as always Purger, many thanks.Delete
Do you happen to now how many passengers Blue Air transported last year?
- Purger3 May 2016 at 15:45
Blue Air: 1,5 million in 2014, 2,0 in 2015. 15 Boeings 737 + 2 737-800 on order, 34 destinations, 3 bases, profitable since 2014.

Purger, don't be so anal .... If you are any sort of aviation "expert", you will know that a purely short haul airline is a completely different animal to one which has widebodies and flies long haul. Therefore, they are in a different league to one another.Delete
When comparing airlines, you have to compare apples with apples - looking purely at passenger numbers is an apple and orange comparison.
In this way, OU and JU will soon move into different business models and direct comparisons will no longer be relevant.
This is not a question of who is bigger or better, rather, 2 completely different models.
You should be wise and adult enough to understand that.
- Purger3 May 2016 at 16:58
Really, 5 flights per week makes JU different league?Delete
So, that makes Aegean and Croatia same league because not one of them has long-haul. But JU is in different (better) league than Aegean (who has 12 million passengers, 58 planes, 134 destinations, 3 hubs, 983 million EUR revenue, 100,3 million EUR profit) just because 5 weekly flights to JFK?
Congratulation for the logic.
Could you, please, define in which league, by your logic, you would put Air Serbia (with Lufthansa, Turkish, Brussels, Virgin Atlantic, LOT...)? And is there any other criteria when you put someone in same "league" exempt long-haul? Revenue, profitability, number of planes, destinations, passengers... Or those are totally unimportant but one long-haul plane with 5 flights per week is?
Trust me I don't have any anal desire, at all! Don't put me in that "league". And I never call or present myself "air expert".
- Anonymous3 May 2016 at 17:32
+1 PurgerDelete
JU is not in different league just as they have long-haul, especially as it is just 5 flights per week. TAROM has long-haul planes and they are not in different league, CSA has one long-haul plane and is not in same league even with Travel Service.
Today you have huge companies that are leaders in air traffic (LH, BA, AF), middle companies and small ones. Than you have legacy carriers (hub system), P2P airlines and combined airlines (flyBe which combines hub and P2P; SunExpress which combine charter and P2P routes, Travel Service which combine it all). Totally different category are LCC.
Those are different categories or business model, but league is always about how big and successful one is. You are in someone league if you can compare by profitability, number of passengers, planes, routes etc.

- Anonymous3 May 2016 at 18:35
Purger, there you go again - still being your anal self. It is not about "leagues'. What's wrong with you ?Delete
Why do you feel the need to have to define an airline in a specific category ?
For the record, both are rather insignificant in global terms and simply don't rate.
However, an airline with widebody operations IS different to one that doesn't. Speak to any airline which has expanded into widebody long operations from pure narrow body short haul operations and they will tell you of the incredible complexities that it adds to the business. It changes your business forever.
And for this reason - whether it is 5 pw or 5 a day - your business suddenly becomes something that it previously wasn't. That's why a comparison of these 2 airlines becomes irrelevant.
You can ofcourse, still continue to compare passenger numbers, profitability and any other airline metric you choose to, but as business models, they are no longer the same.
Forget about leagues, that's for another forum. Try ESPN instead

- Purger3 May 2016 at 23:36
One, two, three long-haul planes does not make anybody in different league. If you want to tall that it is much more complex in relation of operations when you have wide-body of course it is. But for sure it is not even near to complexity of having 30 more A320 like Aegean has comparing to Air Serbia. By your statement Air Serbia is in different league than Aegean just because of that one A330.Delete
The only true here is that Croatia, Air Serbia and Adria are very small companies in European relations. Small and insignificant. No one even care about them. They are not important and are not in any league at all! They are in category "the rest". And if you think that any of those 3 companies are better, bigger or more important you are living in dream world, in clouds. That was a point of my post.
I agree that Air Serbia will have much bigger job and much more complex operations and because if is not in that league (not having enough passengers and routes to feed those flights to USA) I had doubts about that route from very first second and said it can destroy very good Air Serbia project in no-time. Really hope it will not happened and Government will not allow that. Future will show if I was right.

Croatia airlines has much more potential than air serbia,they have just take advantage of the coast cities,that's the "goal"!ReplyDeleteReplies
- Anonymous3 May 2016 at 10:59
They had that opportunity over the past 4/5 years and what did they do ? Nothing - absolutely nothing. They have gone backwards, while JU has not only overtaken them, with the launch of JFK and other long haul routes, they will actually lap OU. The days of comparing the 2 airlines will shortly be over, because they will move into completely different models. And to think, this could have been OU, with all the "potential" that you speak about. But potential is nothing if you don't take advantage of it.Delete
And, should Turkish invest in OU, that will set them back even further, to a role of a small feeder airline.
My God, opportunity lost like never ever before and someone in an earlier comment speaks of the CEO justifying his role and staying .... Yeah well, i won't make a comment on that ....
- Anonymous3 May 2016 at 11:09
Unused potential equals no potential.Delete
- Purger3 May 2016 at 15:08
So true, so true!!!!Delete
I just wrote one analises where I point that at end of 1990's Croatia Airlines had huge potentials as:
- Austrian, Malev, Swissiair and Lufthansa presence in exYu was not big
- there were no alliances
- Adria was going down and Jat was not flying because of sanctions
- there was not LCC (Ryanar and eaysJet were tiny companies, Wizz did not exist)
- there were just few companies to fly to Adriatic cost
On that time they should:
- open routes to exYu diaspora routes (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Scandinavia, UK, USA)
- open routes to all Croatia, BiH, Macedonian, Montenegrian and Albanian airports to feed Zagreb, especially diaspora routes and to make Zagreb as diaspora-flying center
- open routes to other biggest hubs and tourist destinations
- open charter and seasonal routes form Adriatic + connections to ZAG (for combinations of routes with bigger number of frequencies)
- in time expand to Kosovo, Bulgaria and Romania and later to Serbia (few years after finishing of sanctions)
But they did not use those potentials. In time first Austrian, Malev and Lufthansa occupate market, than comes Wizzair, easyJet, Germanwings, Ryanair, flyDubai, Pegasus and Vueling, than Air Serbia starts huge expansion.
Last chance was 2012 (still not huge number of LCC here, Malev bankrupt, Adria in big troubles, Jat in disaster shape). That is why I present plane in 2010. Of course they could not make same thing as 1997-98 (Diaspora center) but could easily put Adria and Jat out of business. And they did not do so!
Today Croatia has no chance at all exempt if some huge and rich company out of Europe would invest in it (and that for sure is not Turkish and Lufthansa). As there is almost no chance to do that (especially not with our ministers, experts and CEO), basically Croatia is as good as dead or will become small feeder for some European huge company.

Not true.

Ponovicu - ovo je poslednja sezona za OU ( plus YM ) u ovom obliku.

Ma nije istina da to ne istićem u prvi plan. Ja sam još 2010. rekao da Croatia ostankom na Mišetićevom putu potpisuje svoju smrt. Čak sam i avar na CAF-u stavio "the end" zbog neiskorištene zadnje šanse Croatie i koncesije na Zračnu luku Zagreb.Delete
No, ne mislim da se radi o godini dana. Croatia još ima imovine za 200 milijuna EUR (avione, maintenance, nekretnine, slotove...) koju može prodavati kako bi namirila gubitke. Uz današnje poslovanje i troškove (jeftino gorivo, novac od PSO, privilegije...) to bi moglo potrajati nekih 8-10 godina. U slučaju poskupljenja goriva i povečanja drugih troškova 5-6 godina. Neminovan i uskori dolazak LCC u Zagreb svakako će umiranje ubrzati. I dugoročno, CTN nema budućnosti uz zadržavanje ovog modeal i bez privatizacije.

Austrian sold entire Fokker fleet 15 F100s and 6 F70s, for $15 million, only $9.5 in cash, likely all financed by bank loan. Someone could have started an airline with 21 planes for start-up cost of $1-2 million. New owner will continue operating them for 8-10 years. Hedge oil now, if there is cash to spare, and you could have a decent airline.

Welcome to DublinEscape
The Irish are famous for their welcoming attitude and in Dublin you will experience this deeply-rooted aspect of Irish culture in so many ways: the helpfulness of the people in the street, the friendly conversations in Dublin Pubs and, most importantly the comfortable and considerate environment provided by Dublin Escape in their holiday apartments.
The personal touch matters in Dublin and for that reason this is one of those cities in which short-term apartment rentals are an excellent alternative to hotels if you want to have a uniquely Dublin experience.
Of course for your convenience this website also offers not just vacation rental apartments but also the most complete range of Dublin accommodation including Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts and Guest Houses
For those on a tight budget we also list all Dublin hostels and other cheaper Dublin accommodation including rooms and even couches , so whatever you are looking for accommodation wise you'll find it here.
We highly recommend the privacy, convenience and comfort of your own apartment so why not start by viewing our selection of Dublin vacation rental apartments.
Getting Around Dublin
Dublin has a relatively small city center with clean, well-managed public transport, including buses and trams, but this is certainly also a walkable city. The "Dublin Bike" scheme, allowing you to use your credit card to unlock and immediately hop onto a bicycle, makes it even easier to get around at your own pace. We highly recommend it so be sure to read our "Dublin Bikes" article for more details on this innovative scheme.
What Dublin has to Offer
As a destination, Dublin certainly appeals to a broad range of interests. With over a thousand years of history, stretching from Viking settlement to merchant riches, from literary greats to the fight for independence, from economic struggle to the recent "Celtic Tiger" boom years, Dublin is a city with a rich story to tell and interesting details at every turn. This variety is reflected in the sheer range of vacation rental options.
We can help you to find the perfect Dublin accommodation, whether you are coming for a romantic weekend, sightseeing with friends, having a stag or hen weekend, visiting on business or looking for Dublin group accommodation.
Our team are Dubliners who have been in this business since the year 2000 and we know Dublin like the back of our hands. You will find that each property page on this website gives a knowledgeable and perceptive description of what the property is suited to, both in terms of ambience and location.
Areas of Dublin
There are some aspects of the Dublin experience that are well-represented in all areas of the city - Dublin's deservedly famous pub culture is something you can sample for yourself in just about any pub and your most memorable nights can occur in the most unpresuming wee establishments. You can, of course, choose to spend time in the pubs frequented by Dublin's literary greats, such as Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Samuel Becket, W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Bram Stoker and Brendan Behan, but you may well have more fun experiencing current day wit, which is spread fairly evenly among the populace as a whole and you will find it on parade nightly in all Dublin pubs.
In those pubs, you will notice many people supping at pint glasses full of dark black liquid, topped with a creamy white head: Guinness. The Guinness family have been producing this fine stout in their Brewery at St. James' Gate since 1759 and it is probably Dublin's most famous contribution to the world along with its writers and musicians of course.
For sight-seeing, you should not miss the adjoining areas of St .Stephen's Green and Grafton Street, Trinity College and Temple Bar, all south of the river Liffey.
The long, entirely pedestrianised Grafton Street is Dublin's most upscale shopping destination, featuring the Brown Thomas department store, which a natively Irish equivalent to Harrods, Selfridges or Harvey Nichols in the United Kingdom or Saks, Nieman Marcus or Nordstrom in the United States. Grafton Street is certainly a good place to wander and pick up on the unique energy of the Irish capital. It can however become a little too crowded at times, particularly during the weekend.
St. Stephen's Green is a pleasant green space to escape to and recharge your batteries after the hubbub of Grafton Street. You can take a nice long walk around the beautiful designed gardens and the decorative lakes. It can be particularly relaxed to sit on a bench and feed some bread to the ducks but don't bother speaking to them as they only understand Gaelic.
St. Stephen's Green is also the starting point for Dublin's excellent tram service, the "Luas", on the southern side of the city. Here you can purchase a ticket from a machine using cash or credit cards and in mere minutes you will be gliding at speed out into the suburbs of Dublin and towards the Dublin mountains. The Luas certainly opens up the option of staying outside the city center, knowing that you have a quick way to move back and forth.
At the other end of Grafton Street is Trinity College and again, once you pass through the main gate you discover an enclosed oasis of rarified, old-world academic calm. Founded in 1592, this is one of the oldest universities in the world. You can unwind by wandering the through the various squares or "quads" and enjoy the thought that you are walking upon the same cobblestones as Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Samuel Becket and Bram Stoker, Oliver Goldsmith, and many other literary greats.
Temple Bar AKA Temple of Bars is an area that spreads out from the front of Trinity College and the northern end of Grafton Street and down along the river Liffey for a mile or so, all the way to Christ Church. It is known as Dublin's artistic quarter, although to be honest, it could more accurately be called Dublin's "tourist quarter". Packed with restaurants, bars, hotels and shops, rents have long exceeded what genuine artists can afford but, even so, it is still a lively and visually stimulating place to hang out, particularly is the weather is nice. Certainly, the area does a good job of catering to the needs of tourists so you won't have any problem finding something to do .The atmosphere in Temple Bar pubs tends to be fun although at times, the gangs of stag and hen parties who have flown in from other parts of Europe, particularly the UK, can be somewhat over-bearing but many of the pubs have wisely banned such groups.
North of the Liffey, Northside -v- Southside is the striking grand thoroughfare of O'Connell Street dominated by the "Spire of Dublin", a metallic monument almost 400 feet in height which is illuminated at night so that it can be seen across most of the city - a handy navigation point for visitors who have enjoyed their Guinness just a little too much.
Another famous Dublin export is music. Nothing is nicer then discovering a traditional Irish music band in full flow in the corner of a pub and it was from this scene that internationally loved groups such as The Dubliners, The Chieftains and The Wolfe Tones emerged. Far more famous around the world, however, are the rock band U2 and you can visit their Windmill Lane Studios just a mile or so down the Liffey in Ringsend.
This is where Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen, Jr. recorded their first tracks and went on to make it their "home" studio. Other famous Irish artists who have recorded here include The Corrs, Sinead O'Connor, Van Morrison, Clannad and The Waterboys. The entire street of Windmill Lane is famously covered in Graffiti left by avid fans from all over the world, go down and add your words of wisdom.
Eating Out in Dublin
One good side effect of the long years of economic boom was that the standard of restaurants in Dublin was raised significantly. You can now find pretty much every cuisine imaginable somewhere in the city and the top restaurants really are of world standard. The one downside to Dublin restaurants, however is price. Bills for relatively average meals can be sky-high. There are of course more budget-oriented options but you may well find these surprisingly expensive too. What you generally find is that in Dublin pubs serve the social role that restaurants serve in other countries and, so, eating out is a relatively unusual extravagance and is priced as such.
While you should certainly enjoy some Dublin restaurants, it might be wise to prepare some of your meals such as your breakfast, in your own accommodation - this is another reason why opting for a short-term apartment rental can be better than a hotel.
There are supermarkets, both large and small, all over Dublin, making it easy and cheap to stock up on essential groceries. All of our Dublin vacation rental apartments include a fully-fitted kitchen and we hope you will take the time to look at our selection.

Lesser Key
Label: Sumerian Records
Prog Rock from Los Angeles California
"Freedom is a double-edged sword…we are inspired to create from the ugly as well as the beautiful."
The Los Angeles based rock group, LESSER KEY, represents an exploration into personal and artistic freedom.
The group consists of Andrew Zamudio, Brett Fanger, Justin Hanson and Paul D'Amour (founding Tool bassist)
For the video of their debut single, "Intercession," the band collaborated with director Brian Butler who they first met at his performance of "The Bartzabel Working" (Butler, Kenneth Anger and James Franco's adaptation of an Aleister Crowley ritual)
The group recently finished their debut EP with producer Sylvia Massy (System of a Down, Tool, Johnny Cash) seeing a street date early in 2014 through Sumerian Records.
Sumerian Founder Ash Avildsen states:
"Lesser Key's songwriting and passion for their craft immediately mesmerized me upon discovering them. Rock music needs a band like this right now: a hypnotic candle amidst neon lights."
LESSER KEY added:
"It is exciting working with a label like Sumerian because they are willing to try new things. Most of the bands they choose to work with usually have a different flavor or progressive element to them that's not typical of other bands. We are excited to add to the diversity of the roster with our artistry and music."

The long hot summer wasn't all that glorious for some our butterflies. Reporter Charlie Bullough breaks down the winners and losers of the 2018 Big Butterfly Count
PEOPLE power has helped reveal the fluctuating fortunes of some of our favourite butterflies during the long hot summer.
A record 100,246 people took part in the Big Butterfly Count and spotted almost one million butterflies in the UK.
Butterfly Conservation's three-week survey in July and August asked people to become citizen scientists by spending 15 minutes tracking the butterflies they saw.
The results have just been processed and its mixed news for some species. In short, the three main white butterflies are booming, while colourful flyers like the Small tortoiseshell, Red Admiral and Comma suffered significant slumps.
Richard Fox, Butterfly Conservation's associate director of recording and research, said: "This year's count has been a phenomenal success with more than 100,000 people enjoying beautiful butterflies, contributing towards conservation and reaping the mental and physical benefits of being outdoors in nature.
My feeling is it was a good summer for butterflies on average, although some species didn't do well.Richard Fox
"Participants' records are really important as they help us find out how the UK's common species are faring and how to best protect them in the future."
The butterfly expert believes the count's popularity is down to "a perfect storm" of factors, like good weather, a heartfelt launch by Butterfly Conservation president Sir David Attenborough, media coverage and the power of social media.
He said: "It was amazing how many organisations were tweeting all sorts of things about the count, like libraries, private companies and celebrities."
The campaign led to almost one million of the 19 target species being recorded during the official count period of July 20 to August 12.
A breakdown of the data reveals the winners and losers. The Small White was the most popular butterfly with 273,650 seen. The Large White was second and the Green-Veined White was seventh. Other success stories were the Holly Blue, which was up 122 per cent from 2017, while the Common Blue was the sixth most popular butterfly after a 51 per cent rise.
At the wrong end of the top ten were the Red Admiral and the Small Tortoiseshell. The latter has lost three-quarters of its UK population since the 1970s and it suffered its worst big butterfly count on record with numbers down by a third compared to the same period in 2017.
The Red Admiral had a remarkable fall from grace. It was 73 per cent down on the high numbers recorded in 2017, when it came 2nd overall. It finished in ninth place. While the Comma, a bright orange butterfly, fell out of the top ten with numbers down 40 per cent year on year.
But the reasons for the successes and declines are not clear cut. Weather, both the hot summer and the cold winter, hatch periods and parasites may have played a part in the ups and downs of species.
Mr Fox said: "It's disappointing to see the Small Tortoiseshell continue to decline. It's been such a nice summer when many butterfly species are doing well. If it can't do well in a summer like the one we've just had that doesn't bode particularly well. We expect butterflies to go down in a miserable British summer but when we've had a good summer you expect them to bounce back a bit."
But he stressed that the three-week count was a short time frame and that data needed to compared with counts from regularly watched sites.
Mr Fox added: "My feeling is it was a good summer for butterflies on average, although some species didn't do well. The Big Butterfly Count results don't fully capture everything. When we look back next year, with all the data at our fingertips, we will see it was a good summer for butterflies."
The Big Butterfly Count will return next summer. Big Butterfly Count for the results in your area.

"You always hurt the ones you love"
Cliché that it is, it brilliantly epitomized by the two actor, three character play Dying City.
Kelly (Laurie Okin) is trying to pack. But she is distracted, Distracted by melancholy and memories and an endless stream of Law and Order episodes that she can't seem to stop TiVoing. She has languished in her New York apartment for a year and she knows she has run out of time when the buzzer for the building door sounds. Her letter writing, self-loathing brother-in-law has paid her a surprise visit, one year after the lost of her husband Craig.
Peter (Burt Grinstead), who also happens to be Craig's identical twin, is an up-and-coming actor of film and stage. He has taken on a play in New York, in hopes of reconnecting with his reclusive sister in law, and perhaps to gain some validation for his suspicions about his brother's death. Neither he nor Kelly fully accepted the Army's explanation, accidental death by self- inflicted gunshot wound.
Peter confesses his play isn't going well and he only moved to New York for the chance to reconnect with her. Kelly admits to never having answered his letter on purpose and that she has no desire to recount the days and conversations of old, when Craig was there to be he buffer and the antagonist between them. But Kelly changes her mind when she finds out about the emails. Craig's emails to Peter; she torn as to whether or not she wants to hear them. Kelly want to know if there is some clue with the text of those email that would explain the strange circumstances under which she and Craig last spoke. But Peter is needy and tight-fisted about them – waving them like a carrot that Kelly cannot decide if she wants to reach for.
What answers, what secrets, what validations lie within; if any.
The play teeters back and forth through time, signified by an exquisitely subtle lighting change. We journey back to the night before Craig leaves for his second tour in Iraq. It was a night when Peter, true to form, brought his new boyfriend and new histrionics to Kelly and Craig's otherwise quiet home. Craig (also played by Grinstead) is confident and stern but clearly harbors a deep affection for his "lost" little brother. But it is also clear that this marriage has tensions of its own, which Peter's presence only exasperates.
I am deeply intrigued by this piece. Typically I want to know why: why entitled Dying City? What was the playwright's motivation for writing it, what is he or she trying to say? Is the writer taking a position or is the piece explicitly provocative, neatly leaving all answers in the lap of the audience to decipher? I have all those questions now, but with this play, I'm not bothered that I don't have the answers.
This production of Dying City truly feels like a character study. There are only moment when you glean motivation and pure intention. But for the most part, these characters are doing battle from the moment they see each other. They both want their own family on their own terms. They are both selfish in the way they horde the memories of their shared lost loved one, yet each needs the other to fill the void of what completes them. In Craig's death, just like in his life, neither person wants to share him, and they both want to please him. It's a tangled web of rare emotions that makes the question "What would Craig really want" impossible to answer.
I love how complicated and messing this story is. Even in its poetic repetition, there is a spontaneity and rawness that rings organic. The audience is invited into the actual guts of the characters, as well as the story. There were a few moments when the play felt a bit long, but the actors were ever-engaging, rendering characters that were fascinating to watch. Exceptional work by Grinstead and Okin, each in their respective dual roles.
Dying City has been extended through August 5th. Don't miss it.

I bought this Yuzu (grapefruit) hand cream from eBay because it is supposed to be self heating cream! Oh yeah! Perfect for those cold mornings and cold…areas.
It's only a small tube:
This comes from a brand called Welco, apparently, but I couldn't find much on it online! I imagine it's one of those cheap and cheerful brands (I paid £5 for this) – the packaging is ok:
Grapefruit is a really lovely smell, but a horrible sour fruit, I can't stand them unless they are sprinkled in 10 layers of white suga.
Anyway this hand cream – nice gel like texture sinks in quickly but guess what – IT DOESN'T WORK. IT DOESN'T HEAT UP.
Well ok it does a tiny tiny tiny tiny bit. In fact it was probably my subconscious willing it to work. Your arm pit is warmer than this cream.
Verdict: As a hand cream, good. As a self heating hand cream, PANTS!

Bridging the gap: Choosing storage-over-distance network technology
Disaster recovery and remote backup programs rely on an efficient, cost-effective WAN. Learn which transport is best and the related implementation issues.
High-speed optical WANs are becoming indispensable for critical storage applications. Business continuance, remote mirroring and replication, and connecting regional data centers are all tasks that require optical WANs. With many optical options and prices, picking the best technologies and techniques to transport data is challenging.
Most storage apps are time-sensitive and require high throughput (bandwidth) and low latency with zero data loss. Effective bandwidth is a measure of how much of the available bandwidth can actually be used, taking into consideration dropped packets and retransmission due to congestion and protocol inefficiency.
- Distance. How far away do you need to keep a copy of your data?
- Bandwidth. How much data must be moved and in what timeframe?
- Recovery point objective. Can you afford data loss? At what point do you need to recover data from?
- Recovery time objective. How quickly do you need to recover?
- Latency. What are your applications' response time requirements?
When evaluating storage-over-distance network technology, keep the following items in mind:
- Throughput. How much bandwidth is available and how much is needed?
- Latency. What's the time delay and how does it impact the storage application?
- Packet loss. How much bandwidth is lost due to data retransmission?
- Variable bandwidth. What's the granularity of available bandwidth?
- Budget. What are the initial upfront and recurring costs?
Storage-over-distance options:
- Dedicated and dark fiber optic cabling and wavelength services
- Wave division multiplexing (WDM, CWDM, DWDM)
- SONET/SDH optical carrier (OC) based networking and packet over SONET (POS)
- Metropolitan and wide area Ethernet services
- TCP/IP based services, networks, and protocols including FCIP, iFCP, iSCSI
The more layers and protocols used in the network, the longer the latency and potential disruption to the storage applications. Understanding what layers are involved in the network is important because each layer adds complexity, cost and latency.
Diverse network paths are critical for uninterrupted network service. Make sure your network provider can guarantee diverse network paths not only through its core networks, but its partners' core networks. Secondly, determine how the service provider will manage and guarantee network performance (low latency and effective bandwidth).
A common mistake is to look at bandwidth simply in terms of dollars per Gb/sec. The effective or actual usage amount is important, and with bandwidth that includes what level of utilization at a given response time (latency level) can be maintained without congestion and packet delay/loss.
Avoid the mistake of prototyping a storage application at a reduced workload, and then assume that heavier workloads will scale linearly with regards to bandwidth and latency. Instead of linear scaling, effective bandwidth can drop off as workload is added along with additional latency, resulting in poor performance, particularly for synchronous-based storage applications. First and foremost, understand your needs and the capabilities of these different technologies.

Quick to develop
Instead of weeks or even months to develop a full-text search for your data, if you know how to use DBSight, you can easily create the full-text search literally in minutes.
Besides Google-like full-text search, you can have:
- Configurable Ranking by combination of relevance and fields like product price, score, comments count, etc
- Advanced Facet Search provides results counted for each category, and sub-category
- Tag cloud for current search results
- Order results by the field you choose
- Summarized and highlighted results
- Spelling check for existing content
- Pagination of the results
- Recent searches history
- Multi-Server mode for Server Clustering
- RSS feed for latest match
And you can have several database searches available in one central server. They can be different applications, or different databases like Oracle, DB2, MySQL, SQL Server, Postgres, or any JDBC supported databases. SQL-based content retrieval is flexible, versatile, and customizable.
Beside database, you can customize the crawler to search files in your own way, be it files on disk, or XML file via HTTP, or any other data sources.
Easy to Customize
You can choose one of existing templates to start with. You add your own logo, change the layout, and add/remove components -- all by web UI. You can render the search results similar to Google or Yahoo style, or render them like product catalog, or results that fit for mobile phones, or directly jump to the most relevant match.
Easy to Integrate
With the result template based on simple Freemarker or Velocity macro language, you can send back the search results in HTML, XML, JSON, CSV (Comma Separated Values), or just a list of document IDs so you can process later.
You can embed search UI with a section of javascript to any page.
You can also use JSP to render search results.
API to search via Protocol Buffer is also supported. You can use Python, Java, C++, or other languages to search. Default Java API is provided.
Easy to Manage
With Incremental Indexing, Hot Index Swapping, DBSight is maintenance free with 100% uptime and less than 0.5 seconds performance, and less than 0.2 seconds for small indexes. All of the operations including search index updates, spell check index updates and remote index replication are trouble free. Configurable log system can notify administrators about recent indexing processes.
DBSight has search statistics for performance analysis, including diagrams for search frequency, most popular searches, zero result search. And DBSight has index analyzing tools to examine the content, most frequent terms, etc.
Easy to Scale
DBSight is fairly efficient, and DBSight search clustering can provide more search throughput and search failover in case of unexpected machine errors.
Integrated Web Management UI
Configuration changes are all done via Web UI and a few clicks away. The operations include, but not limited to:
- Adjust ranking algorithms
- Adjust SQLs to extract database content
- Adjust SQL caching or batching mode.
For advanced users:
- Change text Analyzer, visually compare different Analyzers
- Change Similarity
- Change searchable, filterable,
- Change indexing threads, memory size.
Easy to package
DBSight configuration can be easily downloaded and uploaded. Search can be applied to different system instances.
The powerful scaffolding can be used to quickly create all kinds of search result templates. So you can easily create a search on any legacy contents, and maybe reuse the configuation or resell it!
DBSight is also OS independent, same configuration can run well on windows and linux.
Unique Features
Many features are pioneered by DBSight, and not available anywhere else:
- Advanced Facet Search for multi-valued facets, much efficient storage and fast search.
- Facet Search caching for even better performance
- Count, Sum, Average, Minimum, Maximum, and grouping for numeric facet searches.
