Halper discusses plans for local hatcheries
George Halper, president of the Florida Fishery Foundation, a new group formed to raise funds to build fish hatcheries in Southwest Florida, offered a PowerPoint presentation at Wednes-day's Matlacha Civic Association meeting.
The organization was started by two longtime fishermen, Halper and Bob Weller.
"None of us knew each other 2 1/2 months ago," Halper said. "I met Bob on the Internet and in 2 1/2 short months we have 3,700 members on our Facebook page (Restock Florida Fisheries Now) and we have our web page up and running at www.FloridaRestock.org."
George Halper, president of the Florida Fishery Foundation, speaking to members of the Matlacha Civic Association.
The group's mission statement is "To provide a clear path to enhance Florida fish stocks for future generations while concurrently strengthening the economy."
"The Florida Fishery Foundation is a piece of the puzzle," Halper said. "We hope to start a fish hatchery on Pine Island. But we're also linked to cleaning the water, saving the manatees, restoring the mangroves and replanting the seagrass -- everything is interconnected."
Halper said he is concerned that his children and children today will not have the fishing opportunities he had as a boy.
"If there are no fish out there, the kids won't fish," Halper said.
"Bob and I are both lifelong fishermen," Halper continued. "I've been here 20 years and I can tell you how bad it is out there. Our Legislature is doing nothing so we have taken it upon ourselves to do this."
Halper pointed out that states such as Texas have highly effective hatcheries. In Corpus Christie, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department operates a redfish hatchery that produces juvenile (30 millimeter) red drum and spotted seatrout for releasing into Texas bays for stock enhancement.
"The Texas operation produces 50 million fingerling redfish, spotted seatrout and flounder every year," Halper said.
Halper said when you think of a fish hatchery you think of this massive operation but small fish hatcheries can work and you have to start somewhere. The group plans to start small -- possibly with one fish hatchery tank on Pine Island or Matlacha to release fish into Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor.
"One small 5,000-gallon tank can produce up to 5,000 redfish twice a year," Halper said. "Now 10,000 fish won't make a big difference, but by adding more tanks to the system you produce more fish."
"We're looking to raise an initial $50,000 - $75,000 to get started," Halper said. "Phase one is simply to establish the 501(3) and establish the Facebook page and the website to get people involved. So far we've been very successful with that. Our Facebook page has more than 3,500 members."
In phase two the group hopes to raise the money, acquire the land, expand on the media outreach and see some businesses about advertising funds.
"In phase three, we will be seeking large corporate sponsors," Halper said.
"Saltwater fishing is a $9 billion industry in Florida and the state is losing billions," Halper said. "This whole area revolves around fishing. If there's no fishing there's no buying boats, bait, rods and reels and no guides.
"Our main focus is the children," Halper said. "We're not trying to reinvent the wheel here but we want to place as many fish as possible as soon as possible. Our kids need a good fishery right now."
The website www.FloridaRestock.org includes a GoFundMe button.

Annexation, Chiquita
Boat Lock lawsuits
In other business, Matlacha resident Michael Hannon provided an update on the annexation lawsuit and the Chiquita Boat Lock lawsuit.
"The Matlacha Civic Association sued Cape Coral over the annexation of 5+ acres next to D&D Bait in Matlacha," Hannon said. "The case was reversed in the Court of Appeals and sent back to Judge Kyle to decide the case. Kyle recently requested a 'status hearing' in July.
We don't know what Judge Kyle has in mind but we're just going to ask him to decide the case on the papers that have been filed."
The second part of the lawsuit was based on Cape Coral acting as a real estate investment company buying and selling land. Hannon cited the Seven Islands project where Cape Coral owns the property and is looking for an investor. That suit was separated from the annexation case. Attorneys are preparing to file soon.
The Chiquita Boat Lock challenge lawsuit needs to file a proposed decision within two weeks. "We're hoping the governor will continue with his clean water agenda to give us some political influence with the Department of Environmental Protection," Hannon said.
Fire Commissioner and candidate for County Commission Seat #1, Michael Dreikorn provided an update on Cape Coral's intentions on future annexations.
"Following the annexation of the property in Matlacha the Matlacha/Pine Island Fire Control District filed a 164 Action. This is a precursor to a civil suit between government agencies. We were able to resolve the issue about future annexations and come to an agreement that Cape Coral will not involuntarily annex any property inside the M/PIFCD for 20 years."
Matlachs Civic Association meetings are held the third Wednesday of every month (including off-season) at 6 p.m. Meetings are held at the Art Building in Matlacha Park.

Q: Can't access USB flash drives I am having a problem accessing two older usb (2.x) flash drives (a SanDisk 128MB drive and a Verbatim 2GB Store 'n' Go drive) using Kubuntu 20.04.02 LTS kept fully updated through Discover.

Neither device automounts or shows up in Dolphin.
I have been to the websites for both Ours Technology Inc and Trek2000 (previously known as Trek Technology PTE LTD, according to Wikipedia) and found no support for either of these old devices.
ASIDE: i have tried two other USB flash drives in the same USB port and both of those devices do automount and show up in Dolphin.
Is there some way that I can once again access these devices ?
Best regards,
Stuart

A: We can see that neither device is mounted in your output.
This means that first, we must try to detect the devices manually. Unplug them both from the host, then follow these steps:

*

*run lsusb and make notes of the current list of devices.

*plug in one device, and run lsusb again to see what has changed.

*manually mount the detected device: sudo mount /dev/whatever /wherever/you/want

*plug in the next device, and run lsusb again, noting this new device also.

*manually mount the second device: sudo mount /dev/whatever2 /wherever2

A: Thank you all so much for your responses.
@Nmath:
I used a Windows 10 PC in my local library where Windows Explorer was able to access both flash drives, but only in a very restricted sense. With the 128 MB drive, the drive was recognised and displayed as a drive and I was able thereby to find out that only 27 MB has been used although neither folders nor individual files were displayed when the drive icon was clicked. With the 1 GB drive, again this showed as an icon within Windows Explorer. In this case.the drive icon did not show how much of the drive capacity had been used nor were icons displayed for the folders and files on the drive when the drive icon was clicked.
I have now installed Gnome Disk Utility which reports the following.
When the 128 MB drive is connected into the USB port, the utility :-
a) recognises when the drive is connected;
b) places an icon for it in its left hand pane labelled Drive, sub-labelled USB Flash Disk;
c) correctly reports the Model as USB Flash Disk (2.00);
d) Media and Size are blank, just two "-"s for each entry;
e) the serial number is reported as USB Flash Disk (2.00);
f) Volumes is just a single blue block labelled No Media;
g) again Size is listed as ust two "-"s;
h) Device is reported as /dev/sdc;
i) Contents is again listed as ust two "-"s.

I tried manually mounting each flash drive in turn to the same USB port on my PC and received the following system responses.
For the 128 MB drive :-

For the 1GB drive :-
kub@kub-SATELLITE-L870-18V:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/usb
mount: /media/usb0: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
kub@kub-SATELLITE-L870-18V:~$

I think I also read that a command or recovery utility would delete/reformat the first 1 MB if recovery were attempted. That is a lot of (small) files to lose.
From the foregoing it would seem that both drives just might be recoverable but at a cost of lost files.
I am now going to continue my investigations using the info at the link supplied by sudodus. I will post again after this, unless what I have just supplied tells you that the drives are in fact unrecoverable.

Demi Lovato Says She's Using Quarantine to 'Get to Know Myself Better' Following Max Ehrich Split
By Rachel McRady 6:43 AM PST, November 12, 2020
'Late Night With Seth Meyers'
Demi Lovato is taking the time to work on herself following her split from ex-fiancé, Max Ehrich, in September. The 28-year-old singer appeared on Late Night With Seth Meyers where she opened up about using her quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic to work on herself.
"At the beginning of quarantine I got really into meditation, actually. I started meditating more," she shared on Tuesday. "It was something I had kind of done in the past but not really made a lifestyle out of it. Now I've started meditating. I kind of came up with this new philosophy that I'm never bored. I never have to worry about being bored because I can always meditate no matter where I am or what I'm doing. That's helped me a lot."
Lovato went on to share that time isolated from others has allowed her to focus on the most important relationships in her life.
"Also just building better relationships with my friends and family and even my dogs, getting to walk them is something I didn't get to do when I was working so much," she said. "This quarantine has been a nice little experience for me to get to know myself better."
Lovato started dating Ehrich back in March at the start of the pandemic, and he popped the question in a beach proposal in July. Two months later, they split. The Young and the Restless star claimed at the time that he found out his relationship was over from a tabloid report.
A source previously told ET that Lovato felt Ehrich "wasn't being honest about things," and added, "She's worked very hard to get to a good place and isn't willing to put up with anything that doesn't serve her in a positive way. The breakup was for the best."
Lovato has not publicly spoken out about her split, but she did release the emotional ballad "Still Have Me," which many thought to be about the breakup. The Disney Channel alum is known for making pointed messages in her lyrics. Her most recent song, "Commander in Chief," which was released prior to the presidential election in October, took direct aim as President Donald Trump.
"I was thinking about the music that's out there right now and I was like, 'Why isn't anyone talking about what's happening?'" Lovato shared on Late Night. "In the '60s and '70s when anything political would happen, music was such a key element to help people process it and get through it. I was like, 'You know, I really need to step up my lyrics and make it about something other than just my life.'"
Lovato is next set to host the People's Choice Awards on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 9 p.m. ET on E!

The meaning of the dream symbol: Metal
The archetypal symbol of Metal may involve a hardness, or coldness, of character. In the dream sense, we may be depicting a shield, or barrier, against personal and entirely human, heartache. We are replacing soul and emotion with cool reason and innovative spirit. In this sense, in the image of cold metal, we are observing the force and accuracy of man's mind and 'hard' logic.
However, if our dream reveals metal which is rusted, cracked, or frayed, our Unconscious may be illustrating a weakness in our personal meddle and intellectual refinement.
On the other hand, a fluid combination of metals and organic materials, may represent a healthy balance of intellect, emotion and spirituality. For example, the dreamscape of a glass and metal greenhouse thriving with life, may epitomize an articulate understanding of nature and all her fervent creation. Because we 'manipulate' metal it becomes a crucial impression of our own self-development. However, its hard, angular shape provides a defined contrast with our own smooth and soft flesh.
This paradox imparts the relationship between our sensitive mind and our sensitive body. We must ask this question: 'Are we creating in order to sustain life, or, are we creating in order to destroy life?'. Is technology, (in our unique perception,) good or evil? The metal dream explores this question and the many facets of our own positve and negative attitudes about human life.
The word 'metal' is derived from the Greek metallon (mine) and Rene Alleau relates it to the root me, or mes, the oldest word for the Moon.
There are two distinct sides to the symbolism of metals. Metal-workers, such as blacksmiths, were on the one hand often partly excluded from society since their trade appeared to have links with the Underworld and was on this account judged dangerous. On the other, they often played the opposite part of a major role in society, their trades underpinning initiatory cults such as those of the cabeiri in Ancient Greece and of Chinese and African secret societies. The first aspect is likely to have been the more important, since the most significant factors were the underground source of the ore and kinship of the forge with the fires of the Underworld. The beneficent aspect is based upon purification and transmutation, as well as the cosmic function of the person affecting the transmutation. Smelting pure metal from rough ore, said Jacob Boehme, 'was releasing the spirit from its accidents so that it became visible'.
Metals provide suitable subjects for effecting transformations, of which the objective in alchemy was to extract the sulphur. The fusion of metals may be compared with death; the sulphur extracted being its essential quality, the nucleus or spirit of the metal.
In China the smelting process was likened to the acquisition of immortality and is the source of the alchemical symbolism; the Chinese ideogram chin - a stylization of metal fragments in the soil - carries the selfsame meaning of both 'metal' and 'gold'. Nevertheless, gold is pure yang, while the element Metal is of the essence of yin and corresponds to the west, to Autumn and to the colour white. 'Melt down the universe and refashion it', is a phrase used in the ritual of a secret society. This is the alchemists' solve et coagula, the rotational influences of Heaven and Earth, of the yang aspect and the yin aspect. The creation of alloys is on a par with marriage, since metals are substances endowed with life and sexuality. They have blood, which Nicolas Flamel describes as the mineral spirit which resides in metals. Metals are married by smelting and this is why success relies upon the sacrifice of the smith and his wife in the crucible (yang and yin) or at least of such surrogates as their hair or nail-clippings.
The impure aspect of metals, sign of their cyclical solidification, may be found in the Jewish prohibition of metal in their altars and of metal tools in the construction of Solomon's Temple. This ban was directed especially against iron since, as the doctrine of yuga (the ages of gold, silver, bronze and iron) shows, the symbols of metal are set in descending hierarchical order of 'solidification', the gradual hardening of the four ages of the world.
This cosmic hierarchy is to be found among the myths of many peoples and ages, such as in Hesiod, for example. The Golden Age and its people are wholly marvellous, while the Iron Age and its people are wholly brutalized and despotic. A hierarchy of metals also recurs within the social hierarchy, gold, silver or iron plate being allocated by class, while in the Middle Ages, gold spurs were for knights and silver for squires. This distinction was less a matter of cost than of the notion of hierarchy based upon the symbolism of metals. Such symbolism, however, recognized alloys, such as bronze.
Metals are the planetary elements of the Underworld and planets the metals of the Heavens, the symbolism of each running parallel with the other. Metals symbolized cosmic energy in condensed and solid form, with different influences and attributes.
As symbols of energy, Jungian symbolism has identified them with the libido. Their chthonian character relates them to sexual desires and, if the latter are sublimated, it is as if base metal had been transmuted into pure gold. In this context, the analogy is not only with astrology, but also with alchemy. The issue is release from an enslavement to carnal appetite which plays the same role as harmful planetary or metallic influences. The path of individuation may be compared with that of transmutation. Sublimation or spiritualization, like the alchemists' Great Work, proceeds through fire and destruction to reintegration on a higher level. Alternatively, and following another line of reasoning, it is less a matter of liberation from planetary or metallic influences than integrating them into a completely balanced lifestyle.
To lay aside all metal is a very ancient initiatory and symbolic ceremony and is undoubtedly related to the 'impure' aspect of metals. It has been likened to 'the myth of the Babylonian goddess, Ishtar, who was forced during her descent into the Underworld, successively to cast aside all her jewels and garments as she passed through seven successive outworks to appear stark naked before her sister, the terrifying ruler of the kingdom of the dead.' Something similar is to be found in Masonic initiatory rituals, in which the candidate is asked to remove from his person all metal objects such as rings, small change, watches, chains and so on, to show his indifference to all material goods and conventions and his willingness to regain his original state of innocence.

Darrin Tanner lives in Idaho, USA. A bricklayer by trade, Darrin is outdoors nearly every day, and in the mountains (with his kids) every chance he gets. "I love being in the mountains in all seasons," he says. "I'm the father of six children and love being with my kids. I've taught, and continue to teach, them to love the mountains. The mountains are a place they can leave the stresses of everyday school and life. I'm teaching them that it's a place where they can bring their hard decisions and make clean minded choices, away from the city noises. How many kids have ridden out a thunderstorm on top of a mountain in a Hilleberg tent? It brings the pure character out of a person, and especially kids." Darrin is also teaching his kids about Hilleberg. "I'm a Hilleberg tent addict," he says, "and my five older kids each have their own Hilleberg tents, Anjans and Enans!" His outdoor playground is the Sawtooth Range in central Idaho, a part of the Rocky Mountains. Known for its rugged solitude, the Sawtooths have 57 peaks rising over 3000 m (10,000 ft), with another 77 between 2700 and 3000 m (9000 and 10,000 ft). It's also known for its bears. Darrin was in the Big Sand Lake area of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, when, on the first night of a three-day hike, a Black bear pounced on his tent with him in it. The bear promptly moved on, leaving only claw marks and a bent pole behind, so he was able to finish the trip without incident. "It was my son Isaac's Anjan I was in when the bear flopped on me," he laughs. "Thanks Hilleberg for making the best tents in the world." "I'm not a wealthy man," he says, "so I can't take my kids on big vacations to Hawaii, but I can and do spend many days and weekends in the mountains with them. I spend my hard earned money on good outdoor gear, including Hilleberg tents – tents that my kids will still have when they have kids! I love Hilleberg tents!"

UBS M&A MDs now free to find new jobs
A long time ago, in the carefree days of late 2019, UBS quietly informed some of its senior investment bankers that it no longer had any need of their services. Six months later, it seems some of them have officially left and are now entirely free agents.
They include Guy Stevens, the former head of UBS's financial institutions group (FIG) in the UK, central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
After a long notice period, Stevens left UBS this month according to his updated LinkedIn profile. Insiders say he was one of around 24 people cut at the end of last year. Most of those cuts hit equities professionals at the Swiss bank, but Stevens and another member of the FIG group - Luis García-Royo Díaz - are also understood to have been affected. Neither man responded to an attempt to contact them on LinkedIn.
Stevens joined UBS from Rothschild in 2010; García-Royo Díaz joined from Bank of America in 2013. Both men worked with Andrea Orcel, who was a colleague of Royo Díaz at Bank of America. Orcel himself left in 2018 in a failed attempt to become CEO of Santander. Despite suggestions that he was thinking of becoming CEO of HSBC, he remains out of the market.
Headhunters say UBS's FIG managing directors (MDs) are unlikely to walk into new jobs easily. "There's some excitement around financial sponsors, but in corporate M&A there's really nothing going on," says one, who suggests that hiring will only really pick up at the end of the summer.

El castillo de la Yedra es un antiguo enclave de origen defensivo localizado en el municipio español de Cazorla. Se encuentra situado en la parte inferior del cerro de Salvatierra, sobre el río Cerezuelo, en la provincia de Jaén. Es una construcción que data de la época bereber, aunque fue terminado tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día por los castellanos. Desde su enclave, a 831 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar, se divisa la ciudad de Cazorla y sus alrededores.

En su arquitectura se observan varios rasgos musulmanes, aunque a lo largo de los siglos los cristianos terminaron de darle su configuración definitiva, por lo que predomina así el estilo gótico.

Descripción

Ubicación

Situado a 850 metros sobre el nivel del mar, al sur del municipio y del río de Cazorla, este Castillo, llamado de la Yedra o de Las Cuatro Esquinas, se conserva en pie una buena parte, y en él se pueden distinguir tres recintos sucesivos; alcazarejo, recinto y albacara.

Estructuras

El alcazarejo ocupa el lugar más eminente. Integra la torre del homenaje y el reducido patio de armas, que la circunda. Este pequeño recinto se ciñe a la forma que lo sustenta. Se accede por un pasaje tortuoso y doblado, casi una poterna que serviría además para facilitar la aguada de la fuente vecina.

El recinto intermedio se encuentra embutido en la albacara. Ésta es fácilmente divisible a su vez en dos patios independientes. La entrada al recinto que va al alcazarejo es especialmente tortuosa, estrecha y torcida, con subida en rampa y tramos de escaleras. Los muros del alcazarejo son de mampostería regular. Las del recinto son en algunos sectores de cantería y mampuesto y en otros de tapial calicastrado. La albacara está parcialmente destruida. Los restos de sus muros muestran ser de tapial calicastrado al que en época posterior se añadieron algunos torreones de sillería.

Lo más notable del castillo es su torre del homenaje; que albergan en su interior un aljibe, en la zona inferior, y tres salas superpuestas. La construcción es de planta cuadrada con unas dimensiones de trece metros y cuarenta centímetros de lado en la base, que se reduce a trece metros en el parapeto superior. En el lado Sudeste la torre alcanza una altura de treinta metros y cincuenta centímetros. En la planta baja los muros tienen un grosor de cuatro metros.

Otro conjunto interesante es la puerta del recinto del castillo, abierta a la albacara. Es de mampostería encuadrada con sillares y reparos de ladrillo. La entrada es de herradura apuntada cubierta por arco de descarga de medio punto sobre el que campea el escudo de armas de Sandoval y Rojas, arzobispo, y una fecha: 1606.

Historia

El Castillo de la Yedra ha sembrado cierto desconcierto en las cuestiones de su datación. Se pueden distinguir tres etapas constructivas.

 Primera: musulmana (andalusí), probablemente del siglo  o . Sería un recinto de calicanto que albergaría intramuros a la escasa población del lugar y correspondería a lo denominado albacara.
 Segunda: correspondería a las obras de fortalecimiento emprendidas por los conquistadores cristianos en la segunda mitad del .
 Tercera. En el pontificado de don Pedro Tenorio, entre 1357 y 1399. Modificó radicalmente el planteamiento del castillo. En la parte alta dispuso el alcazarejo con la torre del homenaje. Otros refuerzos serían los torreones de sillería adaptados a la albacara.

También cabe reseñar que en el lugar aparecen elementos cerámicos que muestran una ocupación de época romana, de la que no quedan estructuras visibles, aunque sí elementos cerámicos.

La referencia al año 1606 que aparece en la puerta del recinto del Castillo que abre a la albacara, debe corresponderse con la fecha de la realización de ciertos reparos en la fortaleza.

El Castillo de la Yedra fue adquirido en virtud del Decreto 1427/72 del 10 de mayo (BOE. Núm. 136 de 7 de junio de 1972) por el que se declaran de utilidad pública las obras y servicios a realizar. Para el cumplimiento de esta finalidad se autoriza la adquisición mediante expropiación de dicho castillo, que por aquella fecha era propiedad de la Fundación "Marín García" de las Hermanas Mercedarias de la Caridad.

Posteriormente y por Decreto 337/73 del 23 de diciembre (B.O.E. núm. 21 de 25 de enero de 1973), se crea en Cazorla el Museo de Artes y Costumbres "Alto Guadalquivir". Consta de dos partes muy diferenciadas: Sección de Historia y Sección de Artes y Costumbres.

Q: angular-imgcache.js image path issue iOS only For a few days I have been trying to resolve this issue. The angular-imgcache.js module works in Android but not in iOS. I can inspect the filesystem on both Android and the app container on iOS. The difference is imgcache directory is in the root of the file system on Android while iOS the imgcache is under Library/files/imgcache. Below are the messages I see in the safari remote inspector when I refresh.
[Log] INFO: LocalFileSystem opened (vendors.min.js, line 852)

After the initial load I can override the imagecache directory used in the filecache operation by modifying this object
ImgCache.attributes.dirEntry

I have tried setting the ImgCache in this manner prior to initialization but that ends up causing initialization errors. Either there is something wrong with my implementation or this ImgCache has a bug on iOS. Here is a bit of my configuration.
  //ImgCache.attributes.dirEntry.fullPath = ImgCache.attributes.filesystem.root.nativeURL;
  //ImgCacheProvider.setOption('debug', true);
  //imgCache options
  // set single options
  ImgCacheProvider.setOption('debug', true);
  ImgCacheProvider.setOption('usePersistentCache', true);

  // or more options at once
  ImgCacheProvider.setOptions({
      debug: true,
      usePersistentCache: true
  });

  // ImgCache library is initialized automatically,
  // but set this option if you are using platform like Ionic -
  // in this case we need init imgcache.js manually after device is ready
  ImgCacheProvider.manualInit = true;

The initialization occurs inside the $ionicPlatform.ready
  // PhoneGap application
  if (navigator && navigator.splashscreen) {
    $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
      console.log('$ionicPlatform');
      Analytics.init();

      if (phoneCheck.android) {
        ionic.Platform.isFullScreen = true;
      }
      if (phoneCheck.ios) {
        setTimeout(function() {
          navigator.splashscreen.hide();
          ImgCache.$init();
        }, 2500);
      }
    });
  }


Debt is like having a millstone attached to your neck while you are trying to go on about your daily life. It isn't pleasurable and it is often very painful. It causes stress and it adds more financial pressure to your household than there needs to be. It can also cause strain in your relationships. These tips will help you to annihilate your debt and continue to keep you on a path of a debt free lifestyle.
First, however, let me start by saying that if you don't understand who gives you the ability to make money, and the resources to pay that debt off, then that's a more serious issue. God is the one who gave you your talents (Matthew 25:14-30) and he is the one who created you and who knew you before the foundation of time. He adores and loves you. His deepest desire is that we honor and glorify him in every faucet of life including finances. If your deepest aim in life is to amass wealth and material treasures then I have some sad news for you. You cannot drag a U-Haul behind your hearse. Your "stuff" will stay and accumulate dust while your soul WILL either go to be with the Lord or go to a place of utter despair: Hell. Want eternal joy? God can give it to you. Before you start worrying about your financial state and your debt please consider the state of your soul. It is much more valuable than anything you're striving toward on this earth.
So, now that we have gotten the light topic of your soul out of the way….shall we proceed to the tips I referred to earlier? Let's.
In order to annihilate debt you have to make a game plan. You can't just sit back on your laurels and think it will dissolve by itself. If that were the case these posts wouldn't exist and people would be living it up. You need to acknowledge where the leak in your boat is. Are you spending too much at restaurants or maybe too much on entertainment? Find the source and repair that hole. Maybe it is bringing lunch to work, or eating more dinners at home or perhaps finding free activities to do rather than spending $11 on a movie.
The next thing you must examine is how much income you're bringing in versus how much you are spending. Your goal should always be to spend less than you make. And if your argument is that if you only made more money you'd be okay I'd like to say that isn't necessarily true. If you made more money you would more than likely just spend more. Your habits wouldn't get better just because your pay increased. You have to live within your means and if that means cutting out some dinner dates or drinking coffee from home instead of at Starbucks then so be it! How much do you want your debt gone?
I even had to reign in my wife's spending recently. After a quick trip to her victoria secret credit card login we realized just how much she was spending on this card. Normally we only look at our major credit and debit card transactions. Items like store cards were totally off limits, but not anymore.
Yes, I know, the dreaded word. It isn't fun by any means, but it will be when you see that debt vanishing. My husband and I love the Mint app you can use either on the computer or on your phone. You can hook it up to your bank account and then set a limit for each category within your income. Whenever you make a purchase it will be automatically be linked and assigned to its appropriate category. This is especially helpful for the beginning if you don't know where you need to scale back.
After discovering where your weaknesses are by creating a budget and examining your finances avoid those temptations! Don't stop at Starbucks but instead bring a travel cup of coffee with you. Brown bag your lunch! Another smart tip is that if you don't have the money to buy something and you are going to the mall then leave my card at home or in the glove box. This ensures you won't spend money you don't have and will ACTUALLY window show instead of accumulate more debt. Pinpoint what your weaknesses are and make sure you have a cheaper alternative ready! Strategies like these will seem petty in the short term, but I promise will add up significantly in the long-run.
These tips will help you to annihilate your debt and free you of any shackles you may have with a credit card company. Be diligent and be budgeting! I promise, in the long run, you will be happy you did.

The joe gardener Show
with Joe Lamp'l
111-The State of Gardening TV in Changing Times, with HGTV's Paul James
July 4, 2019 | Podcast, Resources
Recently, I was fortunate to have gardening television legend, Paul James, as my guest at the GardenFarm. He joined me for the filming of an upcoming Season 10 episode of my show Growing a Greener World®, and of course, we had a fantastic time. Paul's humor is just as sharp as during his Gardening by the Yard days, and his personality and love of gardening are as extraordinary as ever.
While he was here, we also found time to sit down for a conversation about the fading support for gardening in broadcast television. This was Paul's second time as a guest on the podcast, and today's episode is a complement to our first show together.
My show notes are rarely just a transcript, but it made sense this time around. So, here's a play-by-play of my talk with Paul as well as links to additional information, but I also recommend that you listen in by clicking the Play icon in the green bar just above. Paul and I shared many laughs, so I'm certain you will enjoy.
Joe: So we just finished this day and a half shoot with Paul James, and it was for an episode of Growing a Greener World. And the ironic thing is, it's been 11 years since Paul actually was on camera for an entire episode. He's a little out of shape for daily television routine, but he did not miss a beat. This guy – it's just like riding a bike. He picked up right where he left off.
I've got him in studio today. We're going to talk about a few issues that don't make it into the television show, because frankly, they're a little bit controversial. But that's what this podcast is for – is an opportunity to kind of let your hair down and go for it. So Paul, first of all, welcome to the show. Really glad you're here today.
Paul James: Great to be here. What do you mean I'm out of shape. What was that all about?
Joe: I tried to fix that midstream. I'm not sure I did very well. And by the way, let me just say, for the record, you're aging in reverse. You look fantastic. You sound good. You look good. All of that.
Paul: Oh, thank you.
Paul James is a legend in the world of gardening television. His fun-loving wisdom from Gardening by the Yard is still deeply missed by gardeners everywhere.
Joe: Yeah, and that is the truth. I'm not just saying that. During Gardening by the Yard, you rode the wave and kind of set the bar for a lot of new gardening shows coming on only to eventually see all of those shows sooner or later die off. And yours was really kind of The Last of the Mohicans. Was it 13 years running?
Paul: Yeah, 13 years. 19 seasons.
Joe: That's amazing. 19 seasons over 13 years. And when you would do a season chronologically, how much time is that in the year?
Paul: Generally about five months of production, and then of course, I wrote everything. So that took a lot of time.
Joe: Yeah, no kidding. What was the most number of episodes you did in a season?
Paul: 39 the first year.
Joe: Oh, my gosh.
Paul: Yeah, it was maddening. It was like gardening Jihad.
Joe: Was that seven days a week, or what was that?
Paul: It was 21 days straight at one point.
Paul: That was the record, and it was all done at my house too. So it was imposing on my family, and I had little kids then, three little kids. And it was awful to be honest with you, because you know – I was the prop master, I was the writer, I was the set designer basically. So I had to make sure the garden looked right. Had to have all my props together, had to have the scripts done, and … It was a near-impossible task. We pulled it off, but I would never want to return to something like that.
Joe: Is that when you got all your gray hair?
Paul: No, I had that before. But I finally put my foot down and said, "No, I'm not going to do this this way anymore." And thankfully, I had a convincing enough argument. The network said, "Yeah, makes sense."
Joe: Well, you're very persuasive, and sometimes, it's quality over quantity. When you put that many shows back-to-back, it just starts to wane. Right? That quality?
Paul: Well, it's just tough to have the energy. I mean, the physical and the mental energy to get through it.
Joe: Well, I think about our first season. We did 26 episodes, and everybody up at APT and PBS thought we were crazy. They kept asking, "Are you sure you mean 26 versus 13, because that's the norm." Right?
Paul: Sure.
Joe: And so we said, "No, we're going to do 26." And we just, I came from a prior series where we were doing 30 shows a year, but they were just – we'd do a show in half a day, and it was … the lack of production value and all that stuff. So, you can do that.
But ours – we were full-on production value, and it just nearly killed us. What I think about as the producer and the host; the stress, the mental stress and the fatigue I go through getting ready for a show, and I've got days to prepare for it – even when we shoot here. And sometimes, that's the most stressful, because you really … you're under pressure to make your place look good. The expectations are so high, because it's your place.
Paul: Sure. Right.
Joe: But I can't even imagine, Paul, that you pulled that off like you did; and you did such a great job. You really set the bar for gardening shows and the quality of it. I mean, you were the guy that everybody watched, including me. But at some point over those 13 years, and as you approached those 13 years, there came a time where there was kind of a changing of the guard and a different mind shift on the value that they were putting on gardening television, right? And this is HGTV.
Paul: Yeah, that's right. I mean, if I had a dollar for every time I've heard people say, "Where's the G in HGTV?" I wouldn't be here.
Joe: Oh! Oh, nice.
It had been years since he was involved with filming, but the Growing a Greener World crew and I put Paul through the paces. It was a fun and rewarding day for the whole team.
Paul: No, there was a changing of the guard at the corporate level, and they decided that gardening just wasn't … that wasn't the direction they wanted to go anymore. The fixer-upper, flippers – those kinds of shows apparently attracted a bigger audience. I mean, one of the strangest things about gardeners – well, about gardening programming – is they would often put it on Saturday mornings. Well, and to this day, gardening shows typically are on a Saturday morning. Well, where is any gardener worth his or her skills? They're out in the garden.
Joe: Darn right.
Paul: So, and back then, it was VHS days. But I still have people that approach me, and they say, "I have every one of your shows on VHS."
Paul: Really? You still have a player?
Joe: God forbid when that player goes down. Their life is over.
Paul: Better digitize that stuff in a hurry.
Joe: You're darn right. No wonder there's a cottage industry for that sort of thing.
So, the shift after your show went by the wayside. There are a handful of shows through the PBS model, like mine and a few others. But that's challenging because we're out there raising our own money.
You're paid a talent fee, and a budget is provided for what you do. But you didn't have the added pressure – that one additional thing of trying to go out and make all of that work based on the money that you went out and had to raise on top of it.
But today, although that model still exists, which is the model that I'm on, there are a lot more people out there producing garden content. It's just digital. It's online, which on the upside can be a good thing because there's a lot more access to information. But on the downside, anybody can put anything out there; and who's to say whether that's solid, real good information or not?
Paul: It is a problem. I mean, I spend a lot of time looking at what's online, and I see, with all due respect to younger people, I see some misinformation. I see some flat out wrong information. I see things that, I'm sorry, I just – I'm not buying it.
So now, the flip side of that is there's some young people who are very, very passionate about gardening and are acquiring a lot of knowledge. But it was funny, because when I was at HGTV the young programming executives would ask me, "Why are your guests so old? We need you to bring in younger guests."
My response was, "Well look, if I'm going to do a show on blueberries, I want to interview the guy that's been growing blueberries for 50 years." – which I did in Bellevue, Washington. Someone 26, I mean, more power to them; but they don't have the same level of experience growing blueberries or whatever it might be.
So, I thought that was a bit of a dis, and particularly since when HGTV launched, its audience was mainly slightly older folks. And then, there was a point in cable television where everyone wanted to skew younger.
Joe: Yes.
Paul: Well, that's easier said than done. I mean, how do you skew younger? And I couldn't address that. I didn't know how.
Joe: No kidding. Well, one of the ways, I think they thought that they could do it – like for example, when I was selected to host DIY network's Fresh From The Garden, they were specking out a host that had certain credentials. And the demographic, as far as the age that they wanted, was I think 35 to 40. So, I fit into that, barely – but on the young side, by the way, just for the record.
Paul: And for the record, you don't fit in there anymore. Nor do I.
Joe: But here's the thing. Thankfully at the time, that's who they were looking for. I would have never even been considered. These days, even 35 would not even be considered. They want a young 20, up to something – maybe tops, high 20's.
Paul: Right.
Joe: That's it. But where's the wisdom in that? And that's not to say that it's not possible, but as you said, the experience only comes with time.
Paul: It does. And otherwise, you might end up with a show where a producer is feeding lines to the talent. So, the talent is nothing more than a host. They're not necessarily a gardener.
Joe: A talking head.
Paul: I can usually spot those people right away.
Joe: Very much. Yeah. The authenticity goes away when you've got those people in there.
Paul: Absolutely.
Joe: So, do you think that this new shift and permanent shift, really, towards digital content and everybody being able to put it out there – do you think that's helping or hurting, attracting a gardening audience?
Paul: Tough to say. I mean look, I embrace new technology, new ways of disseminating information. I'm all for it. It's not something that I really feel like I can answer that intelligently, Joe. I don't know where we're going, quite frankly.
I mean, the biggest problem is, those who want to get the word out, whatever the message might be – they need to monetize it. And that creates all kinds of issues.
I mean – if you're an influencer on Instagram, are you just a mouthpiece for that company, or do you genuinely believe in their product? And it's hard to say. I mean, because I've seen a lot of them; and I question their authenticity, basically.
It was a real thrill for me to have Paul visit my GardenFarm and join me in an episode of Growing a Greener World.
Joe: Well, it's easy. I guess maybe it's from our perspective in what we've come up through to just see right through that, in many cases. And I understand that is a whole new economy and a great opportunity for influencers to make money, because a lot of money and product are being thrown their way.
Joe: And that's their career now. I mean, so that's how they monetize it.
Paul: And more power to them. I mean, I get that. We've got to make a living, right? And it's a great opportunity when you've got young people knocking down some serious coin as influencers.
But from my point of view, I turned down so many opportunities, because I felt like I have to look at myself in the mirror every morning. I have to know that I'm being true to myself and that I'm being true to my audience, and I wasn't willing to compromise back then. So – but it's tricky, and it's getting even trickier.
It's just like in the news biz. There used to be – whether print or broadcast, digital, whatever – there used to be a very clear cut line between advertising and editorial. Well, now that wall is as porous as it's ever been.
Joe: Absolutely.
Paul: So, who do you believe?
Joe: Right, and where are those filters, you know?
Joe: So, that leads me to a question for you. As I mentioned a minute ago, your model when you were doing Gardening by the Yard was that you were hired, basically.
Paul: Correct.
Joe: And HGTV owned the content and all of that.
Paul: Correct. I was a contract employee.
Joe: Okay. So my show, I own all the content. But it's up to me to go find the funding for every penny I need to spend on the show. Otherwise, I come out of pocket, and that's not a good business model, right? But at the same time, you are at the mercy of those underwriters. And thank God for Subaru and companies like that, who have been supporting Growing a Greener World since the beginning.
Paul: Great car, by the way.
Joe: Thank you. Yeah, and they make a great car. But I'm really kind of at the mercy of whether or not those underwriters continue to underwrite my show from year to year to year. And sometimes you don't find that out until the end of the season, when they've decided to shift towards a digital strategy, for example – which happens all the time these days. So, they're moving away from broadcast.
So the question then becomes – these companies out there that might support a gardening show that actually can write those big checks. They're wanting product placement, or they're wanting more association with their product in the show. And in a Public Television model, you can't do that, because it's non-commercial. That's how they are able to do what they do and get the licenses they get.
So now, we have to ask ourselves – if we can't put product placement into the show, and yet these companies are … Maybe you didn't feel good about, Paul, like you said, "Looking in the mirror and feeling good about that, working with that company, accepting that offer." But now maybe they've got products that are aligned with your philosophy of gardening – organic products for example.
Paul: I think I know where you're going here.
Joe: Okay. Yeah. In case the others don't – it's like, now where do you draw that line? Are you okay with helping support a side of that company or part of that company's brand if that brand is aligned with organic fertilizer or insecticidal soap versus a non-selective synthetic pesticide for example?
Joe: Is that okay? Or if the company behind it is still not a company, in principle you support; do you draw the line and say no to that, knowing that your influence is important to a large audience to hopefully sway them towards whatever it is you're talking about – such as an organic choice.
Paul: I gotcha.
Joe: Okay.
Paul: So, one of the biggest problems in getting the word out about the importance of gardening organically, and this is going back years and years and years, is that so many of the manufacturers of organic products don't have huge budgets for advertising. And they can't afford television at all in most cases. So, that limited those companies' ability to get the word out.
If a company that I might not really align myself with, because they produce malathion for instance or some other, like you said, some other synthetic product that I would never, never even contemplate using. But if that company were to launch a line of organic products, I might reconsider. Because they have the ability, they have the budgets, to get the word out. And at the end of the day, aren't we trying to get the word out?
Joe: Yeah. We're trying to inspire gardeners and get the word out and to do it more ethically and environmentally-responsible. I am.
Paul: It's a very complicated issue.
Some GardenFarm harvest during a day of filming. Paul is an avid chef and was full of ideas for all these beautiful crops.
Paul: Okay. But I think consumers of all media, I mean – watch a movie or a television show, and it's obvious that they don't even hide the fact that it's an Apple computer or a Dell computer. There's a Coca-Cola can sitting in the shot. There are some that are so blatant – where Toyota is a sponsor, and they start tight on a Toyota logo on a car and come out to the host, you know. So, I think people are a little more forgiving. I still find it somewhat offensive when I see that kind of stuff, but I grew up in that "no product placement" era. And that's all changing, and we've got to change too.
Joe: Yeah. Yeah. No, every opportunity these days, it seems, to monetize the product any which way they can. However you see it.
Paul: And I mean, people have to make a living, and this has opened up so many doors for so many people. This being the digital world that we're going to have to struggle through it. Some of it's going to go the wayside, and some of it's not.
Joe: Yeah, I struggle with it because I had the opportunity to work with a lot of other companies and raise a lot more money to put into the show, which I don't do. I don't, because I don't support the origin or I don't support the parent company, for example. And if you trace it back, are you taking money from the devil, so to speak?
Joe: And it is a struggle. It's a real struggle, because at the same time, you're having your underwriters drop off. More underwriters that would be potential supporters of your show have moved to digital only, and you've lost them as a broadcast supporter. Where's the viability and sustainability of the show? You need the money.
Paul: It's gone. It's gone. The show's over.
Joe: Yeah. So, it's food for thought. And if you're listening out there, and you have thoughts on that – chime in on the show notes page, because I'd love to hear your comments as well. It's a touchy issue. Certainly, I haven't made a shift in that direction, but I am interested in your thoughts. Because – it's an evolving world. Not that I'm about to change or will be changing, but it's just worth a conversation.
And to bring somebody like Paul James in – who has been around the industry for a very long time and highly respected and very intelligent and a thinker – it's great to get his perspective too, and it's just a real fortuitous opportunity for him to be here to share his thoughts with us as well. So, do chime in. We'd love to hear from you.
So Paul, on that topic though, any other thoughts about how monetization is changing and the thoughts behind it?
Paul: Oh goodness.
Joe: Yeah.
Paul: Yeah. I think a lot of it is – when you have companies like Subaru, for instance, that acknowledge the value of underwriting your show. We need more of those kinds of companies to realize; because in the grand scheme of things if you look at the advertising budget of, say, a State Farm, what you're asking for in terms of underwriting is a pittance. I mean, it doesn't amount to anything. It won't even show up on the bottom line anywhere.
Joe: Exactly.
Paul: So yeah, we just need more companies to realize that gardeners are people who drive cars and own homes and buy insurance and use toilet paper. I mean, they're just like anybody else.
Joe: Yeah, and why not want to show that you support a show like Growing a Greener World, for example, that's all about people doing good things for the planet through environmental stewardship and healthy lifestyles. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
Well, speaking of that, let's just divert from that. That was a great conversation, that part, Paul. But let's just wrap this up. I know that I wanted to kind of keep this tight and short, because we're on a tight schedule today.
But let's just learn a couple of quick things about you. How do you stay connected with your gardening fans and the public these days? I mean, you had that huge following. You still have that huge following, but they can't turn on the television and watch you anymore. They can't stick in that Beta tape. But you know, how do you keep in touch these days?
Paul: I don't keep in touch very much, and I miss it. Believe me, I mean, fans were for me like the ultimate reason why I did what I did; because they showed so much appreciation and they were so compassionate about watching the show and the gardening efforts and stuff. But there just comes a time where you put it all to bed, and you move on. And that's kind of what I've done.
Paul: So, yeah, I miss it. I mean, this last day and a half with you, it really was amazing. Because like you said, I hadn't been out in the field in so long, but I had a blast. I miss it, but I don't miss it enough to where I would ever contemplate doing a show again, I don't think. Besides, who would want it?
Joe: I would. My hand is raised! But you're still out there speaking some, yeah?
Paul: I am speaking some, and I'm spending a lot of time at a buddy of mine's nursery, Southwood Landscape and Garden Center in Tulsa. I write a weekly blog, and I do get people from all over commenting on the blog. So, I'll get a question from Connecticut, and I'll get a question from Oregon. And so, I still reach out to people, but not in the way that I once did, by any means.
Joe: But you're still gardening at home.
Paul: Oh, absolutely. All the time.
Joe: Yeah, and then harvesting that and enjoying a lot of time in the kitchen too. You're a huge cook.
Paul: Yeah. Well, I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm not that …
Joe: Not huge in size.
Paul: I mean, I've gained a little weight, but no, I'm a very passionate cook. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
Joe: We've talked a lot since you've been here about food. Walking around the garden – every couple of steps, you're telling me about a new recipe or have I ever fried the blossoms off the squash plants and what to do with the homemade ricotta cheese. Oh, my gosh.
Paul: Yeah. It's funny. Some people count sheep at night to go to sleep. I plan my menus, and I love it. I mean, because I'll map out kind of a general idea – the menu itself. I love to do thematic dishes. So, if it's Italian, then it's going to be 100% Italian. Then, you have to determine is it going to be southern or northern Italian? Then, you have to match the wines with the meal. So I go through that, and then, that leads me to how many stops I have to make to get all the ingredients I need to pull it off.
I love entertaining. Entertaining in the home is just something – my family, the kids. We all get together every Sunday and have a family meal, and I have grandkids now. It's a fabulous opportunity to just be with family. My daughter is in New York, so she doesn't get to join us as often. We connect with her now and then, and my wife and I are running up to see her soon. And we're all getting together in Santa Fe here soon for a family vacation. So, yeah, the kitchen. I love it. I like fly fishing. I play guitar.
Joe: Yeah, you do.
Paul: Almost every day.
Joe: And you read a lot. You're a big reader.
Paul: I read a lot. Yeah, I go through a lot of books.
Joe: When I met you at the airport – walking off, and you had a nice book in your hand.
Paul: Yeah, that was the history of the Vandals. Ancient Scandinavian Germanic tribe that slaughtered people all over in their way to finally settling in North Africa – from which we get the term "vandalism."
Joe: There you go. Back to cooking for a second though. You do good things with your cooking. Not only do you feed your family with a great meal, and I love that excitement.
I know I can relate to that. When you talk about laying in bed at night wide awake, thinking about the next day and what you're going to do and how you're going to prepare it – I used to think, before I really did it as a living. I mean, gardening is my avocation and my vocation. So, I love it as much today as I always have, and I love it more tomorrow than today.
That's all good, but I remember always laying in bed at night on a Friday night thinking about everything that I was going to get to do on Saturday morning. I would be up before dawn, ready to hit the ground, and I'd spend the whole time out there. So, I totally get that. But with your cooking – in addition to serving your family – you do really good things to serve the community too with your charitable endeavors.
Paul: Yes. It just worked out that I was able to offer my services to various charitable organizations and say, "Okay, I'll cook for 10 and I'll pair the wines. You select the cuisine you prefer." and people pay. I mean, one night I raised $18,000 on three dinners. And you know, it's a blast to do, and it all goes to a worthy cause. You know, you got to give back.
Joe: You've got to give back.
Paul: When you've been fortunate, you've got to give back.
Joe: Yeah. Well, you've been giving back for a long time, and it's just great to hear that you continue to do it. You gave back for the past two or three days with your time with me. Yeah, we had a good time. But I know it was time away from your family, and we worked you really hard. But I just want to say thank you, because it's a real honor for you to come to my home.
I wanted to come to your place and hang out with you there. But when you wanted to come here, it was like, "Oh my gosh. Now what do I do?" The pressure's on, but it has been a memory I'll never forget. It's been a blast and an honor for you to be here and so much fun. It's what I call an "etched memory," and there aren't very many of those in a lifetime.
Paul: And I'll share it with you. It was my pleasure.
Joe: Thank you.
Ok – It's your turn. As I mentioned, I would love to hear your thoughts about the trend of gardening content moving from broadcast television into the digital world – streaming online. I hope you'll share your comments below. I'd also love to hear some of your favorite memories of watching gardening television – whether it's from Gardening by the Yard, Growing a Greener World or another favorite. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

TinCanTools is developing a Hammer-RDP (Robotics Development Platform) that will have the Hammer (ARM9, 200 Mhz Samsung S3C2410, 32 MB RAM/16 MB Flash, 40 pin DIP, Full Linux Kernel 2.6.*) as the controller. There are forums at http://www.tincantools.com/forum and a Wiki at http://www.elinux.org/Hammer_Board for additional documentaton. If you are interested in giving feedback on what you would like to see on the Hammer-RDP, come and join in! There is also two IRC channels at irc.freenode.net, #edev and #tincantools.
You all should post there if you are interested! Right now only me and Dale are speaking up!
I'm still not quite sure what that post means? That you don't need/want/aren't interested in Hammer-RDP?
I guess I was just showing a different perspective - it was probably the wrong place for the post. I'm not using any of the "micro-controller" features of the Hammer - the only things I'm using are the USB host port, and the two serial ports.
Ahhh! I would be excited too!
You are doing some very cool work Jon. Watching your progress is enough to make me want to get some BioLoid stuff at some point. The frames kit is just $99.00 and that's well within my budget. Then I'd have to get servos as I could afford them, perhaps 2 or 3 a month.
Well, add your feedback as to what you would like in the Hammer-RDP if you were going to use it. It will be smaller than the current Hammer Carrier Board.


HEMF is run by a small team of volunteers passionate about bringing early music to Hastings. The Festival is supported by ticket sales and the generosity of the newly launched Festival Friends and Patrons scheme.
Our Festival Friends enjoy a range of benefits including exclusive event invites and reserved seating. This year the featured artists are THE SIXTEEN, who will be appearing in Hastings for the first time. They regularly perform to sold-out concert halls across the globe. Our venues in Hastings and St Leonards have limited capacity and offer a more intimate concert experience. Depending on the level of support, there are opportunities to attend exclusive events, open rehearsals, talks and meet the artists performing.
If you would like to support early music in Hastings, please join us as your support will enable this exciting new Festival to flourish in this wonderful town.
These give a unique insight into the performers' working environment. Come and hear Harry Christophers rehearse The Sixteen and experience how this group works together.
This is an opportunity to develop a personal connection with one of the period instrument specialists performing in the 'Concert by Candlelight'. Have a cup of tea and a chat with your selected artist.
Seats at St Mary in the Castle are usually taken on a first come first served basis within your chosen ticketed area (stalls, boxes or balcony) when the doors open. Seats at Kino Teatr are in one category, some with comfortable sofas and some cabaret seating.
As a Festival Friend, you can chose your seats in advance and they will be reserved for you before the doors open on the concert day.
As a VIP Guest, you receive a pair of complimentary tickets to each concert with reserved seats of your choice.
Dinner with the artistic director plus all the benefits of Gold.

Chuck Berry Goes Classical: Listen to Andrew Lipke tackle "Roll Over Beethoven" with violinist Miho Seagusa
November 25th, 2016 | 11:54AM | By John Vettese
Andrew Lipke and Miho Seagusa of Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia | still from video
For the past couple years, Philly's Andrew Lipke has branched beyond the confines of rock and roll singer-songwriter to collaborate with more classically-rooted music organizations in Philly. In the past year, he's worked with Choral Arts Philadelphia on a recording project and joined the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia on the INTERSECT concert series, shows intended to bridge the worlds of classical and pop.
The next season of INTERSECT kicks off on Wednesday, November 30th at World Cafe Live, and to mark the occasion, Lipke and violinist Miho Seagusa put a fancy spin on a rock and roll favorite, Chuck Berry's "Roll Over Beethoven" — which was kind of already a specimen of the rock world teasing the classical world.
Seagusa's arcing melodies rise and fall for the first minute 25 of the song, before Lipke kicks in with some early rock fervor, and from there it's a melodic conversation across generations. Give it a watch below, and get tickets and more information on the show at the XPN Concert Calendar. Other installments of the series happen on February 22nd and May 10th.

Here is the tool we used to find all bugs and vulnerabilities with deployed NFT contracts on Ethereum.
"Documentation: Better late than never!"
* @notice Test token supply invariant.
In this new version, if the test fails, the gas spent will be the total gas available.
You probably meant to use assert() then?..
It actually depends on the client since some return an error and some total gas available for revert, but yes it would always return return max gas with assert. So both options achieve the main point (some kind of failure we can detect) but descriptions is more in line with assert, great find.
