LEGAZPI CITY, April 28 (PNA) -- The Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP) through its Investments in Rural Enterprises and Agriculture and Fisheries Productivity (I-REAP) component is helping Albay develop its sweet potato (camote) industry into a priority rural enterprise.
"We are now having our initial business planning for the crop following our conduct of enterprise identification and prioritization which determined the suitability, market potential, impact on the poor and rural women's participation in the province," Albay I-REAP head Rafael Nicoleta on Thursday said in this provincial capital.
The process, he said, enables proponents to come up with proposals that are responsive to the value chain analysis (VCA) findings and aligned with the proposed interventions identified in the Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP), a three-year strategic plan based on the value chain analysis of commodities.
Nicoleta describes PCIP as a rolling plan that rationalizes the interventions within the various segments of the commodity value chain and will be the basis in selecting eligible interventions and sub-projects for PRDP funding.
It also emphasizes on climate-smart agriculture as a way to achieve short- and long-term agricultural development priorities in the face of climate change and serves as a bridge to other development priorities.
"Through enterprise prioritization, meanwhile, we are able to have proper direction for the establishment of the business enterprise. Kumbaga, hindi bara-bara (In other words, it is not done in an aimless manner)," Nicoleta said.
The Provincial Agriculture Office (PAO), according to its officer-in-charge Cheryl Rebeta, has identified in its PCIP, submitted recently for assistance to PDRP, the development of camote into an industry that would help local farmers earn more and even put up self-run agricultural enterprises for additional profit.
The PRDP is a foreign-funded program being implemented by the Department of Agriculture (DA) as a platform for a modern and climate-smart agriculture in the region and other parts of the country.
Its national implementation carries a Php27.535-billion total fund -- consisting of Php20.553 billion loan from the World Bank, Php3.579 billion as national government counterpart, Php3.118 billion equity of the local government units (LGUs) and Php287-million grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
In six years (2013-2019), the project aims to raise annual real farm incomes of household beneficiaries by five percent, increase the value of annual marketed output by seven percent and ensure that 20 percent more farmers and fishers benefit from DA services. With PRDP, Rebeta said, the PAO is moving up to value adding in the province's engagement with climate smart agriculture by giving more attention to the production of sweet potato even as Albay is already contributing at least 7.17 percent to the country's production of the crop.
Data from the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) show that the province, with its 1,675 hectares of effective area for sweet potato production, produces an average of 40,167 metric tons yearly.
According to Rocelyn De Vera of the PRDP South Luzon Project Support Office (PSO), sweet potato is a unique commodity because unlike other plants, it is less prone to diseases, drought-resistant and grows with minimal use of fertilizer.
Nonetheless, she said, Albay farmers must learn to explore other products from the crop and take the industry to the next level with the help of other stakeholders, including government agencies, to support its value chain in the province.
There are also recommendations that include the revitalization and strengthening existing nurseries, constructing warehouse near island port, providing access or linkage to funding agencies, intensifying Farmer Business School (FBS) and training on good agricultural practices, De Vera said.
Provision of farm, processing, and packaging equipment as well as construction and rehabilitation of farm-to-market roads, ports, and bridges were also proposed in addition to a call for an updated research and development agenda on sweet potato and market study involving new products.
This project, when approved for funding by PDRP, Rebeta said, will certainly benefit more farmers in Albay, especially that its household population of 255,672, representing a total of over 1.2 million individuals as per official survey in 2010, has over 100,000 families that rely mainly on farming for their livelihood as recorded by the BAS.
These farming families are well within the 36.1-percent poverty incidence of the province as determined by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) based on its 2012 survey.
The sweet potato (Pomoea batatas) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the family Convolvulaceae.
Its young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens and contrary to old misconceptions that it is a "poor man's food," sweet potato has now gained popularity among health conscious individuals from all walks of life because of its health benefits.
According to Organic Facts, a team of food and nutrition enthusiasts that aim to spread awareness and information about organic food and healthy lifestyle, sweet potato is rich in beta carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, iron, magnesium, and zinc.
It has anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, effective in relieving asthma and arthritis, a good facilitator for digestion, beneficial for curing stomach ulcers as well as cancer of the colon, kidney, intestines and other internal organs and helps regulate the body's blood sugar levels and water balance.
Hence, it is recognized as a very important cash and food crop in the province and all over the country that is highly marketable either as raw or processed.
With these potentials and health benefits, stakeholders of the proposed sweet potato industry in the province are convinced that the sarcastic advice when somebody is turned down from a job or found inefficient in work-- "to go home and plant camote"-- should no longer be taken as offensive but a push to engage in a productive and vibrant industry.

SPRING HILL — Stepping onto the J.D. Floyd K8 campus, a visitor might be confused as to whether he is visiting a school or an art gallery. Bright, colorful, interesting pieces of art are on the outer walls and in gardens.
They are mostly the work of sixth-graders, under the direction of geography teacher Kevin McManus. This year students have completed 18 projects that are displayed around the school.
"We cover India," McManus said, explaining the Indian mandala mosaics out of mirrors or broken tiles. Mandalas, McManus explained, are "floral and geometric designs that repeat themselves. They tie in with mathematics."
Some of the creations are mosaic reproductions of masters' works. The children produced two copies of Van Gogh's works and a Picasso. McManus was a little worried that the Van Goghs would be a little too ambitious, but his concerns were unfounded.
Starry Night hangs near the front office. Café Terrace on the Place du Forum and Picasso's Weeping Woman hang on the outside of the concrete building where his classroom is located. The walls were blank and white. To McManus, a blank, white wall is an empty canvas.
McManus teaches all the school's sixth-graders, tying geography into math, art and English. "The children do research and PowerPoints on the artists," he said.
Some students see the value of supplementing their geography lessons with the art.
"They teach us about some of the paintings famous artists have made, and by reflecting them through mosaics, they give us a glance of history through glass and stone," said sixth-grader Vivian Eddy, 12. "Artists lived in different countries, and they're reflecting what their countries looked like when they were growing up."
Sixth-grader Hannah McInnis, 12, identified her favorite project. "I like Van Gogh's Starry Night." She said doing it taught her "that Van Gogh is a very famous artist and was famous because of Starry Night."
Besides Van Gogh, Hannah said she also likes her teacher. "Mr. McManus is a really good teacher because he takes his time to work with us."
Sixth-grader Raquel Libell, 12, who enjoys putting in the mosaic pieces at random, likes the way they look and said, "Since we're doing the mosaics, it makes our school prettier."

LAMPS PLUS Blog Policies
I love to travel -- maybe it is because I grew up in a military family where we moved all the time.
For me the trip starts as soon as the ticket is booked or the route is mapped. I start researching the places which might be of interest. I ask for suggestions from friends via social media. However, my favorite part is searching for interesting places to stay.
Over the past several years, the larger hotel groups have started off-shoots from their major brand; Aloft Hotel, Courtyard by Marriott, Element Hotel and Holiday Inn Express just to name a few. It seems that they have created these to compete with the smaller, upscale boutique hotels.
These new brands are delivering a very similar modern, often urban-inspired design with special attention to the guest experience, but at more affordable prices. I find these rooms filled with great take home ideas. Here are a few of the most memorable:
Wallpapering one wall can create a great focal point in a room. A great tip in small spaces, like most hotel rooms, is to enhance the visual height.
In this instance at the Courtyard by Marriott, wallpaper was used to accentuate the headboard wall and as a way to tie the room palette together. Sconces free up the table top space.
Using a monochromatic color palette, the Element Hotel by the Starwood Group created a sophisticated mood. You can do the same in your space. I love the way every inch counts -- from the corner sectional and built-in cabinet to the ottomans (which can be used as additional seating).
The space is designed for maximal appeal and function. The pendant light helps set more of a homey feel.
The Holiday Inn Express created a dramatic effect using an oversized headboard. This idea would be great in any bedroom. The use of swing arm lights is functional and in this case adds a whimsical touch.
Placing a small table between the beds provides function and an opportunity to add a touch of color with a table lamp.
Here are 5 tips that will help you get that hotel inspired look:
Images courtesty of Aloft Hotel, Courtyard by Marriott, Element Hotel and Holiday Inn Express respectively.
Thanks for the five design tips. Taking notes from hotels doesn't seem like a bad idea. Great post.
I really like your nice blog! Hope to get more exciting here. I am looking forward to future post and I'll keep coming back to follow your site.
Thanks for the stopping by and leaving comments. I hope you'll continue to stop by and leave more comments.
It is pretty nice seeing how something as simple as wallpaper can transform a room. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Lazaboy,
Thanks for you comment. We're striving to provide cool ideas and inspiration.

New York City (Aug. 20)
To the Editor, Jewish Daily Bulletin:
Bernard S. Deutsch, president of the American Jewish Congress, is at present in Mexico, where he has distinguished himself by heaping fulsome praise on several occasions upon a government which has pursued an anti-religious policy equalled only by the interdiction of religion which has been accomplished, in Soviet Russia. According to a dispatch to The New York Times from Mexico City on August 15, Mr. Deutsch, addressing the Mexican Advertising Club, said that "Mexico's best advertisement was the stability of her democratic government and the vigorous character of her industrial and commercial interests."
It is not besides the point to remind your readers that Mr. Deutsch, together with his confreres in the American Jewish Congress, has been the most voluble opponent of Nazi rule in Germany. He has, on more than one occasion, appealed to the world for liberty, tolerance and fair play for the Jews. Yet Mr. Deutsch is spending his visit to Mexico by heaping praise upon a country whose rulers are persecuting Catholicism as ruthlessly as the Nazis in Germany are persecuting the Jews.
Mr. Deutsch, I am sure, would be the first one to raise his voice in protest if some well-known Catholic were to go to Germany and praise the accomplishments of the Nazi government. But he has no compunction about bestowing encomiums on a government whose policies are outraging American Catholics.
It may be argued that Mr. Deutsch spoke as an official of the government of New York City. Nevertheless, Mr. Deutsch is also president of the American Jewish Congress which affirms, wherever it can get a hearing, that it speaks for all the Jews of America. However, I for one should like to go on record as emphasizing that Mr. Deutsch in this instance, speaks for no one, unless it be himself— certainly not for the Jews of America.
Mr. Deutsch's utterances in Mexico are indicative of many of the actions of some so-called leaders in the American Jewish Congress who can lay more claim to trouble-mongering than they can to statesmanship. It is high time that Jews like Mr. Deutsch, whose name is backed up by some official title, do a little calm and logical thinking before acting, instead of acting first and thinking afterward. Let them consider that their actions and their utterances sometimes reflect on other Jews. Or if these Jews insist on being irresponsible, let us turn them out of office and elect statesmen instead.
J. Brodsky.

Looking to expand your skills or support research? The AMS administers or supports several fellowship programs. The AMS also tracks Other Sources of Support.
In affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the AMS sponsors ten-week fellowships for graduate students in mathematics to work fulltime over the summer as reporters, researchers, and production assistants in U.S. mass media organizations -- radio and TV stations, newspapers, and magazines.
The Fellow will spend the year working on the staff of a member of Congress or a congressional committee as a special legislative assistant in policy areas requiring scientific and technical input. The program includes an orientation on congressional and executive branch operations and a year-long seminar series on issues involving science, technology, and public policy.
The new Joan and Joseph Birman Fellowship for Women Scholars is a mid-career research fellowship specially designed to fit the unique needs of women. The fellowships are open only to women. This fellowship program, established in 2017, is made possible by a generous gift from Joan and Joseph Birman.
The AMS Centennial Research Fellowship Program makes awards annually to outstanding mathematicians to help further their careers in research. A recipient of the fellowship shall have held his or her doctoral degree for at least three years and not more than twelve years at the inception of the award. Applications will be accepted from those currently holding a tenured, tenure-track, postdoctoral, or comparable (at the discretion of the selection committee) position at an institution in North America.
The Society received a bequest from the estate of Waldemar J., Barbara G., and Juliet Trjitzinsky, the income from which is used to assist students who have declared a major in mathematics at a college or university that is an institutional member of the AMS. These funds help support students who lack adequate financial resources and who may be in danger of not completing the degree program in mathematics for financial reasons. Each year the Society selects a number of geographically distributed schools which in turn make one-time awards to beginning mathematical students to help them pursue careers in mathematics. The amount of each scholarship is currently US$3,000, and the number of scholarships awarded each year varies. The AMS chooses the institutions independently and no applications from institutions or individuals are accepted.

Do you have a budding sculptor or potter in your midst? CARYS THOMAS takes a look at ways of unleashing their creativity at a business in Newport
BAREFOOT Ceramics, based on Charles Street, offers families a chance to become immersed in the use of clay - with pottery making and decorating workshops.
Fiona Jefferies, 38, owner of Barefoot Ceramics along with her husband Paul, said: "We are fully mobile, just last weekend I went to someone's house for a pottery session. We hold workshops in the studio but we can also come to you.
"It's nice for families to come in to the studio and get away from the world and have a few hours of escapism. We get families coming in, nowadays it's not always mum and dad but grandmothers and aunties."
The family run business offer pottery and glass painting sessions for all ages where children can design and decorate all different shapes of ceramics which include plates, platters, candle holders, figurines, animals and piggy banks.
Barefoot hosts children's parties at the studio where children can design and paint their own ceramics.
Mrs Jeffries said: "Children's parties have become quite popular. We usually do pottery painting with them.
"They get to choose which object they would like to paint whether a pot or a dragon. We get individuals coming to workshops and adults as well."
Barefoot will be celebrating their 10th anniversary in November of this year.
Mrs Jefferies said: "We love it so much, it's a great place for the community to come and have a chat. You get to meet so many people."
They offer a session called Mudslingers which is clay pot making workshops for children aged eight and over including adults.
Mrs Jefferies said: "Mudslingers is a private workshop where we teach basic pottery techniques. People can have a go at sewing on a pottery wheel, hand building pinch pots and slab work.
"Clay throwing parties are getting more popular with adults as well."
For a two hour studio session it costs £20. The clay days are held on the first Saturday of every month which offer 15 minute sessions on the pottery wheel.
The ceramics that Barefoot use are called bisque which means baked twice. The ceramics have been fired once in a kiln ready to paint on a design.
When the painting has been finished, they add a clear, protective glaze by firing the bisque for a second time.
Mrs Jefferies said: "You can come and make your pottery on the wheel one week and come back and decorate it the next."
Studio session fees are £3.50 for juniors up to 16-years-old and £4.50 for adults. A family of four costs £12.
Pottery starts at £3, collectibles £8, plates from £10, mugs from £8. Tickets for workshops should be purchased in advance and prices include a drink and snack. For more information visit www.barefoot-ceramics.co.uk

Hunter Pence's payday inspires an argument on who comes in last among the ranks of teams' best players.
Earlier this week, Astros right fielder Hunter Pence won a precedent-setting arbitration case against his career-long club, earning a record $6.9 million award as a second-time-eligible position player. On the face of it, Pence's payout might not seem surprising: the 27-year-old netted an All-Star nod in 2009, and offers an alluring combination of power and speed, having hit exactly 25 home runs to go along with at least 10 steals in each of the past three seasons.
The problem with Pence is that he's at best a complementary player in a good lineup. Most clubs would be happy to have him audition for a supporting role, but he would be miscast as the leading man in a championship-caliber production. Any reference to Pence as a "star right fielder" owes more to the memory of his fluky 2007 debut and the conspicuous flaws of his talent-deprived teammates than his own on-field exploits. From 2008-10, NL right fielders as a group produced a .266/.341/.443 triple-slash line, comparable to Pence's .278/.330/.466 performance, although the Astro's unremarkable offense was bolstered by above-average work in the field and on the bases.

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s head-shaking disagreement with President Barack Obama on Wednesday night offered a possible answer to the question of why Supreme Court justices bother to show up for the president's State of the Union address:
Alito's reaction to President Obama's criticism Wednesday night of a Supreme Court decision last week — even if Alito's exact words are in doubt — sparked an immediate controversy about whether he was unjudicial or the president was taking an unprecedented shot at the court while its members sat silently in front of him.
There's no question about what Obama said:
"With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that, I believe, will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections.
"I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests or, worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people. And I urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps correct some of these problems."
Democratic lawmakers and Obama Cabinet members, surrounding the six justices who attended, stood and applauded.
The black-robed justices, in the front and second rows of the House chamber, sat motionless and expressionless. Except for Alito.
"Not true, not true," he appeared to say (other lip readers have a slightly different version) as he shook his head and furrowed his brow.
Tapes show that Alito began shaking his head when Obama said "special interests" and mouthed the words after that.
There's also a bit of history at work. If it were up to Obama, of course, Alito wouldn't have even been in the chambers. As a senator, he voted against Alito's confirmation. He said President George W. Bush's second nominee to the court was a man of "great character" and that he was an accomplished jurist.
"But when you look at his record — when it comes to his understanding of the Constitution, I have found that in almost every case, he consistently sides on behalf of the powerful against the powerless; on behalf of a strong government or corporation against upholding Americans' individual rights," Obama said. Alito was confirmed by a vote of 58 to 42.
Alito has expressed unhappiness with the confirmation process in the past and was a notable no-show when President-elect Obama and running mate Joe Biden accepted Chief Justice John Roberts' invitation to pay a courtesy call on the court before taking office. Alito was the only member of the court not to attend.

Moscow - President Vladimir Putin on Thursday did not rule out sending Russian troops into eastern Ukraine, but said he hoped he would not need to, and that diplomacy would serve to resolve the crisis there.
In a televised call-in with the nation, Putin said Russia "would do everything possible" to help the Russian-speaking population in eastern Ukraine, where separatist rebellions have broken out.
But in a sign Russia is invested in international crisis talks being held in Geneva, Putin said that it was an illusion that force can solve all problems in international affairs.
"The Federation Council (the upper house of parliament) granted the president the right to use military force in Ukraine. I really hope that I do not have to exercise this right and that we are able to solve all today's pressing issues via political and diplomatic means," Putin said.
"We must do everything to help these people (in eastern Ukraine) defend their rights and independently determine their own destiny. This is what we're going to push for."
Putin also said world powers should work out a new international mechanism for resolving problems, suggesting that in a unipolar world led by the United States there was little to restrain actors from using force.
"When there is a balance of power, then there is a desire to negotiate," Putin said. - Reuters

Despite report that Pete Docter would work on 'Monsters, Inc.' sequel after finishing 'Up', the helmer has claimed he is not currently producing 'Monsters, Inc. 2'.
Although there is wild rumor of "Monsters, Inc. 2" being in development, Pete Docter has hinted that the film is currently not in the works. In a recent interview with New York Magazine, the director of "Monsters, Inc." who has been attached to make the sequel claimed he is not producing the said project.
"I'm not working on [it]," Docter stated when asked whether or not he has been focusing on "Monsters, Inc. 2" after finishing "Up". Instead, the helmer said he has another project which has been kept under wraps. "I'm working on something else, but I cannot announce what it is," he said.
News that "Monsters, Inc. 2" has been developed was first fueled by Pete Docter when stating that the filmmakers behind "Monsters, Inc." have some thought about the possible sequel. Though he did not give any detail of the story, the helmer has been reported being given the go-ahead by the studio to make the film. Later, there was rumor that the studio has secretly talked to buyers in attendance at Licensing International Expo 2009 about the upcoming animation film.
As for "Monsters, Inc.", it received positive reviews and grossed over $525.4 million worldwide. The movie centers on the #1 scarer at Monstropolis' power company, James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (John Goodman) and his partner Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal), who get into trouble when a human toddler accidentally comes into their world. Having to avoid problems with the higher authorities, they now have to find a way home for the toddler.

Sunday Mornings
de Claire Fair
Acerca del libro
Fair's first publication Sunday Mornings was greatly influenced by her time spent with family and friends visiting various swap meets and farmers markets around Los Angeles. As a society, we constantly throw away so much while simultaneously acquiring new goods, rarely pausing to think about the things we are leaving behind. These photographs illustrate the contrast between the two, the fresh new produce from the farmers markets and the tattered old items left behind at flea markets. For most, Sunday mornings are times of renewal, a fresh start to a new week. But for others, it is a time of reflection. Each photograph in this book was taken on a Sunday morning.

Responsibilities for community center discussed by board, Connellsville
Members of the Connellsville Community Center Advisory Board held a special meeting Sunday afternoon to walk through the building, see what needs done to make rooms ready for occupants and to change meeting dates so the city's mayor can participate more often.
While no walk-through was done, meetings were set for the second and fourth Fridays of every month at 6 p.m.
Advisory Board Chairman Jim McIntire said he wants Mayor Charles Matthews or a council representative at each advisory board meeting, so they can discuss issues that can be approved immediately.
"We need help from city council — someone to be here at every meeting until we start moving along," McIntire said. "We have a nucleus of a good board, but we need to continue to keep getting better and better."
Councilman Gregory Ritch, chairman of the city's property committee, said he is the city's representative to the board.
"The mayor can't attend every meeting of every board in this city," Ritch said.
Matthews said he didn't mind attending meetings, but he does have several other commitments.
"I can't run every single aspect of the city, and that's why we do have other council members and department heads," he said.
Instead of the walk-through, a discussion was held, hoping to clear up constant confusion among advisory board members, city officials and the center.
Matthews explained why the advisory board was created.
"This board was created as an advisory board," he said. "I don't want to take anything away from the other board, but because of what happened (the city terminated the lease from the former board), the city didn't want to turn the center back over to another entity and that's why we created the advisory board.
"Maybe I look at this board as one that would have brought more programs in," Matthews added. "Maybe we should have created a Friends of the Community Center volunteer group instead."
Karpiak said he must have misunderstood the job of the advisory board.
"I thought the board would be the promoters of this building," he said. "At this point in time, I just want to see this board make money. If it doesn't go that direction, then maybe we have to go a different direction.
"I could care less about all of this stuff on procedures or when meetings are scheduled," Karpiak added. "We have one heck of an opportunity with this building because it's very valuable. There's no reason we can't be making money."
McIntire and Advisory Board Vice Chairman Gary Colatch said they are concerned about the lack of communication between the board and the city.
Colatch said the board was under the impression they could do nothing without council approval and asked if council ever took action on any of the ideas presented.
"I've told you before, that as long as it's legal and doesn't cost the city money, we will not interfere with this board," Ritch said. "If it's something like hiring an individual or wanting to do some major improvement or something like that, those are the things that would take an act of council."
The issue came up at the advisory board's previous meeting about hiring a promotions manager.
Colatch said Sunday that they had no intention of hiring anyone or even moving in that direction until it was approved by council. The suggestion was to name a promotions manager that did nothing but promote the building and schedule events in the theater, whether it be musicians, comedians, theatrical productions or anything else that would make the center money. The promotions manager would not make any money until an event happened, and then, would get a cut of the profits.
Matthews said he would rather not give away any profits.
He suggested that a councilperson, volunteer or advisory board member could book the entertainment, eliminating the need for a promotions manager.
As for a building manager, Matthews, Karpiak and Ritch all agreed Gary Barker was pretty much in that role, adding that he, with help from Lori Kosisko, already oversees center operations, promotions to would-be tenants and scheduling of events.
The next advisory board meeting will be held 6 p.m. Feb. 8.

by Jennifer Lim and Ben Sandler, The Queens Kickshaw
It's almost exactly a year since Ben knocked the first hole into the walls at The Queens Kickshaw.
It had been a year of planning, three months since signing the lease, and two weeks of waiting for building department approval. It felt good and RIGHT to finally be able to put up the craft paper on the windows, and start ripping up the layers of carpet, linoleum, drywall, and drop ceiling to reveal the original character of the space.
The initial investigation revealed this:
Glory! We had no idea what kind of history we would find behind the synthetic surfaces.
The space had been a clothing store called Relax just before we took over. We had also done some historical research at the Municipal Photo Archive, the Greater Astoria Historical Society, and the Archives at Queens Library.
The brick building was as old as Schuetzen Park, a picnic grounds and shooting range that occupied the entire block where the public library now stands across from us. It was likely that picnic-goers purchased last-minute supplies at the adjoining businesses before heading into the park. We were also able to dig up a tax photo from the 1940s, showing that the space used to be a tailor and clothing store called Albert. As a side note, 41st St. used to be known as Albert St., named after one of the Steinway sons.
(Image courtesy of the Greater Astoria Historical Society)
The build and design process was an organic one for us and the resourceful team at Ecosystems Brand. We exposed the original brick walls and hardwood floors, and reused the supporting lumber from demolition to build the framework of the bar, the framework of new walls, and work tables. None of the other wood surfaces are new - all were reclaimed from other work sites, or purchased at Build it Green! in Long Island City.
To save as much money as possible, Ben and I did as much of the demolition, construction, and repair as possible. The valuable skills we learned or honed included:
Even now, we miss the days when we went home covered in a fine dust, wood chips, and sweat.
Now that we are operating as a coffee shop, restaurant and bar, Ben and I face new challenges and opportunities. The Queens Kickshaw has been, for us, about reinterpreting the tried and true in light of history and community. It is our playground, our outlet for creative expression. We are immensely grateful to you, our valued guests and colleagues, who have embraced and supported us from the day we opened. 2011 is only a preview, and we look forward to creating beautiful stories with you in the years to come.

But after the update the system was exactly in the same status, nothing had changed.
I seem to recall that using the built in "reset" can have some very bad effects (may be misremembering here tho, thinking of my phone) - and in any case I think all it would do, if it works, is erase user data but not really affect the system.
reinstall should take care of any bad blocks, and take care of any possible corrupted files.
golden allmine is definitely my preferred way to reinstall (see
). you'll find plenty of opinions and anecdotes here on this forum, whether to use usb flash drive or SD for reinstall. one thing most people seem to agree on is, whatever flash memory you end up using, don't have anything else on it except update.zip (and gapps.zip if you like), and to use as small a flash as you have (I've had pretty consistent good luck with a 4gb HP usb)
you "should" be able to clean up the filesystem just as normally in linux, but remember that here the volumes actually live on top of UBIFS (so, loop-mounted fat32 image file on top of EXT on top of ubi on top of raw flash - actually I think there is still one more layer at the bottom there?) on a device that suffers weird spontaneous corruption and/or bad blocks if you look at it wrong. i.e. the corruption may not even be in the intsdcard image, it may be in the system volume, screwing up system binaries so that intsdcard appears unavailable or dirty (but may be neither - frostschutz' helpful explanations notwithstanding, your fsck binary or mount binary itself could be bad!)
so, people do have varying experiences with how corruption of system flash memory affects behavior - it is possible for it to be mild enough for the device to be usable, although who can say how long it would remain stable. some of the times it happened to me it was somewhat usable at first but became progressively worse - eink side stopped working, eventually boot-loop every time I turned it on. the most recent time it took me a whole bunch of tries to get a reinstall to work, and at one point I became seriously afraid the reinstall would never work (whew! lucky!)
for other brave souls on this forum (hi vicinc!), some physical hacking and serial reprogramming was required. ouch.
in the past I never had problems at all, it was only this year for 2 reasons:
- letting the battery die while unplugged and turned on (EDIT: oh - or, letting the battery die while hibernating /EDIT)
- trying to run latest kindle app (also just about any version of google books app)
man, we really need to get all this kind of stuff in a wiki.

Kolkata, July 19 (IANS) "I cannot beat up the State Election Commissioner," said a senior West Bengal Minister Friday, even as he described the incumbent Mira Pande as a "stooge" of the opposition parties and demanded she quit.
"She is a stooge of the CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist) and the Congress... She is biased. I have never seen such a State Election Commissioner," Transport and Sports Minister Madan Mitra told media persons here.
Mitra alleged that Pande had hatched a conspiracy to ensure the CPI-M and the Congress emerged victorious in the ongoing Panchayat (village council) polls.
"I feel whatever violence has taken place, is because of her lack of common sense... I will pray to Allah that she (Pande) should lose her job."
"She should quit, I can only pray or want. Whatever else I can do, I can't beat her up," said Mitra.
Pande has become Trinamool's target ever since the commission clashed with the state government on various issues likeright to announce theelectionschedule, and the primacy to conduct the polls, besides the security arrangements.
West Bengal Advocate General Bimal Chatterjee created controversy by likening the SEC to a "beautiful woman throwing tantrums" while Mitra had said days back: "The Commission will have to wear bangles and hide behind a veil" after the polls.
While Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has vowed to take "revenge democratically" against the SEC and even rued her inability to remove Pande as the SEC chief, party parliamentarian Suvendu Adhikari Tuesday has likened the poll panel chief to an "ant about to die".

I really enjoy travel and adventures. I'll try anything once and love to do new things. I'm very social and outgoing and prefer to spend my free time with friends or out meeting new people. I consider myself a hard worker and really like to have fun at the end of long work days. To relax, I love to spend my time reading, listening to music, and watching movies.
I'm looking for a man that really knows how to have fun and enjoy life. I can be very spontaneous and would love to meet someone just as into dropping everything and experiencing something new just for the sake of a good story. I enjoy living in a small town but still like being able to get out and travel or spend a weekend at the lake. Don't get me wrong though, I'd still love to meet someone who'd enjoy cooking a good meal together and cuddling up for a movie with a bottle of wine at the end of the day!

Madagascar virus toll rises
More than 150 people have now died from a mystery viral infection on Madagascar in the past two weeks says Health Minister Andry Rasamindrakotroka.
Mr Rasamindrakotroka said more than 60 of the victims were from the village of Ikongo in the southeast of the Indian Ocean island.
He said a further 89 people had died in the Alakamisy Ambohimaha region.
Doctors in Madagascar have been baffled by the virus which leaves its sufferers with "flu-like symptoms" that can lead to death if left untreated.
Mr Rasamindrakotroka said many of those infected died because they were unable to reach a hospital or clinic in time.
He appealed for anyone with the symptoms to seek medical treatment as soon as possible and confirmed that health care would be administered free of charge in the island's hospitals until further notice.
Madagascar has just emerged from a violent power struggle which lasted seven months and inflicted long term damage upon the already shaky economy and government infrastructure.
Unidentified illness
According to our correspondent in Madagascar, the problem is that many people in the region are using traditional methods to treat the virus, believing it to be common flu, instead of seeking medical attention in hospital.
The ministry of health has despatched specialist delegations to the southeast to try to isolate the spread of the illness.
However, experts remain unsure about what it is exactly they are treating.
And there are fears the number of deaths will continue to rise.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/3/2014 (1246 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CWB (formerly the Canadian Wheat Board) has started construction of its first grain-handling facility, west of Portage La Prairie in Bloom.
It is scheduled to be ready for the 2015 grain harvest and will feature industry-leading railcar loading times and 33,900 metric tonnes of storage.
It marks CWB's first construction of a grain elevator and adds to its asset network that includes Mission Terminal in Thunder Bay, Ont., Les Élévateurs des Trois-Rivières in Quebec, as well as a minority interest in Prairie West Terminal.
Construction of the new elevator has begun off of the Trans-Canada Highway, six kilometres west of the Yellowhead.
CWB president and CEO Ian White, said the location is in an area with a clear need for more grain-handling capacity.
CWB, which is in a transition period from Crown corporation to a privatie body, has a plan that gives farmers who deliver grain to CWB an equity interest in the company after privatization. It is the only opportunity for farmers to gain an ownership stake in a Canadian-focused grain company.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Motorists leaving Interstate 985 at Spout Springs Road now will be greeted by flashing messages from a sturdy new brick-and-stone Flowery Branch sign.
The city Thursday displayed its first message, "Welcome to Flowery Branch."
It's been a long time in coming.
"I've been kind of bugging everybody for years (about) when is it going up," Mayor Diane Hirling said Thursday. "There were some obstacles we had to overcome in order to get the property, but now that we have (the sign), I'm thrilled."
The sign, at 12 feet high, 18 feet wide and 3 feet thick, cost $37,211, with the Atlanta Falcons donating $32,000 toward the structure several years ago. It declares Flowery Branch as "Home of the Atlanta Falcons."
Integrated Sign Systems in Oakwood built the sign.
The city scouted out several locations for the sign, including Thurmond Tanner Parkway and Phil Niekro Boulevard, said the city's planning director, James Riker.
When Stonebridge Village, a regional shopping center off Spout Springs and Hog Mountain roads, began "to evolve as a real project, the city decided to abandon other locations we were
considering and started working with the developer there to construct a sign in that center," Riker said.
The developer, Halvorsen Development of Boca Raton, Fla., was "receptive to (having the sign on its property) provided it was designed with consistent materials similar to the signs that exist for the center" off Spout Springs and Hog Mountain roads, he added.
"The stone and the brick all match exactly with the main (center) entrance sign. The colors are the same color palette," Riker said.
The sign sits in the extreme corner of the Stonebridge property across from Holland Dam Road.
City officials now are working to determine what messages the sign can display. The sign can flash the time and temperature and has the ability for some graphics, Riker said.
"Basically, there will be an internal document as to how the sign will be used," he added.
Hirling said she sees the sign as "a way that we can possibly announce our meetings so more residents know when our meetings are, and maybe (advertise) some city events we are having."

GUESTS: Saxby Chambliss; Jim Turner; James Fallows
The national threat level has been raised to orange. A Pentagon plan to catch suspected terrorists using a super computer is now being considered by Congress. Saudi Arabia has set up checkpoints around the capital of Riyadh, increasing security across the kingdom. Where is Saddam Hussein? Who shot Mohammed al-Dura? Racist groups are using video games to recruit. Annika Sorenstam will be make golfing history becoming the first woman to play in the men's PGA tournament in nearly 60 years.
HOLT: Joining us now to talk about all this, Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss. Senator Chambliss is a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Democratic Congressman Jim Turner who sits on the House Select Committee on Homeland Security. Gentlemen, thanks to both of you for taking the time to join us tonight.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sure...
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thank you. Glad to be here.
HOLT: Senator Chambliss, let me begin with you. You have a better look at all this intelligence and the chatter than any of us will ever get a look at. Are you worried?
SEN. SAXBY CHAMBLISS (R-GA), SENATE INTELLIGENCE CMTE.: Well certainly there's a lot going on out there. Anytime you see an increase in chatter with respect to the potential for an act of terrorism to occur, you get concerned, particularly when it's been substantiated through interrogation of the detainees. So, there's reason to raise the threat level, but you know, our law enforcement folks do a great job. So, we got to continue with our normal activities.
HOLT: Have you seen anything specific with -- even in terms of a timeframe?
CHAMBLISS: No, Lester, it -- there is no specifics about the who, what, when, where. We don't even know that it might occur in the United States. It could be against U.S. assets abroad or may not even be directed at U.S. assets. But, there is a lot of conversation going on.
HOLT: Congressman Turner, let me turn to you. The attacks in both Saudi Arabia and Morocco were ultimately with explosives, traditional explosives. We've spent a lot of time in the last 20 months talking about dirty radioactive bombs, chemicals and bio-weapons. Is it possible our defenses are aimed too much in the direction of non-conventional weapons and not enough in the direction of conventional weapons?
REP. JIM TURNER (D-TX), HOMELAND SECURITY CMTE.: Well I think the clear truth is that we've got to be prepared for all of it. We are in a posture where we know that traditional explosives are likely to be used. They were used, as we saw, in Saudi Arabia and Morocco, but we also know that al Qaeda is a sophisticated organization capable of carrying out attacks like we saw on September 11 of 2001, so we have to be ready for all of it.
HOLT: Congressman, are you worried about alert fatigue? I mean, I guess how long -- how many times can you ring the alarm bell before we start to let our guard down or not take it as seriously as we should?
TURNER: Well that is a concern. These alert levels could wear thin on the American people. The truth of the matter is that we probably need to refine this alert system. It would be helpful, I think, to law enforcement to know a little more specifics and part of what I think we face today is trying to get our new Department of Homeland Security in a position where it can do the kind of analysis on the intelligence data that will give some direction to law enforcement so that we won't be in a position as we are so often in of just simply saying, get ready. But they want to know what for and what is the specific information that we have.
HOLT: Senator Chambliss, the U.S. and Pakistanis and other allies have made some impressive arrests over the last several months with regard to al Qaeda. Has there been a tendency to overestimate the success of the war on terror? In other words, is what you're seeing and hearing now to some extent taking the U.S. off guard?
CHAMBLISS: Well we do know that we have interrupted, disrupted their lines of communication because we have -- we've simply cut those lines off. And also by taking out a number of the top lieutenants of bin Laden, we have made sure that those folks are not giving orders to carry out acts of terrorism. The problem is that there's another level of leadership that is rising within al Qaeda and it just makes us continue to have cause for concern with respect to that organization, which is very, very dangerous right on.
They haven't gone away by any means. And we also think that they're probably a number of these attacks that have been planned and put in the pipeline, and we have these so-called sleeper cells that may be inside the United States or outside the United States simply awaiting a signal or some type of indication to carry out an attack that's been previously planned.
HOLT: And Congressman Turner, we're all reminded of the Freddy Kruger of terror, Osama bin Laden, again, apparently alive and well. Do you think we will ever get him and getting him will that end this war, as we know it?
TURNER: Well I think eventually we will get him. I think it is troublesome that we have yet to do so. I think what it shows us that in the war on terror we've got to move faster and we've got to be stronger in the battle.
HOLT: We've got to end the conversation there. But Senator Chambliss, Representative Turner, thank you so much for coming on tonight.
TURNER: Thank you very much.
CHAMBLISS: Thank you. My pleasure Lester. Good to see you Jim.
TURNER: Thank you Saxby.

The recent onslaught of typhoons Pedring and Quiel (international names Nesat and Nalgae respectively) on the Philippines has killed over 80 individuals, affected over a million people, displaced over 120 thousand families and ravaged towns, cities and valuable farmlands with damages estimated at over Php12M (USD275M)– an amount which is over a billion Pesos more than the cost of destruction wrought two years ago by typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana), one of the strongest recorded typhoons ever to visit the Philippines which poured down a month's worth of rain in just 12 hours.
Rescue efforts are still underway and evacuation centers are almost filled to capacity. Damages to important infrastructure such as roads and bridges need to be addressed.
Those who wish to assist in the relief and rebuilding operations in the Philippines may send their donations in cash/check or in kind via the following options:
- Philippine Red Cross (www.redcross.org.ph)
- ABS-CBN Foundation Sagip Kapamilya (www.abs-cbnfoundation.com/sagip.php)
- GMA Kapuso Foundation (http://www.kapusofoundation.com/donate)
Your generosity will go a long way towards helping Filipinos, communities and the Philippines recover from the devastation brought about by Pedring and Quiel.
Thank you.

Good Cruise: Brilliance of the Seas Cruise Review by Kreader
Overall Member Rating
Good Cruise
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Boston
Food ranged from ok to good to once in a while pretty good. I thought the lamb and prime rib entrees were excellent. There could have been a bettter selection of dinner entrees,a few nights I did not like any of the dinner entrees offered so I had the steak which was good.
Two breakfast items really good-omelets made to order in the Windjammer Buffet (especially if made by Stella-she was amazing-sometimes cooking 4 omelets at one time!)and french toast in the dining room.
Snacks and pizza(later on) in the Park Cafe were good. One minor complaint was that I love cranberry juice,and this was not offered (except in bard where you had to pay for it).
My inside cabin was very nice,with a sitting area of a loveseat and coffee table. Usual small More bathroom.
Entertainment was pretty good,including some comics,violinist,and an acapella male group Home Free that was very good. I was disappointed that for a 13 night cruise only 2 production shows were given. I really liked the broadway show,but the other production show was a musical variety show which I thought was just ok. Shows in the centrum were great-a couple of aerial shows,and 2 parties-one 70's disco and one British rock music. Those 2 parties were a lot of fun. Halloween night was great-a lot of people wore costumes!
Ports were good-as I had been to 4 before I mostly walked and did some shopping in the ports. I did go on a great tour of Barbados with 18 other cruise critic people(great job Brenda and Ken). Also went on a 7 hour ship's tour of St.Lucia that was great.
I had a great dinner table of all singles! Met a lot of people on this cruise!
A fair amount of activities planned for sea days-I like doing trivia,so attended a lot of those events. Best thing I won was a travel mug.
Overall this was a pretty good cruise,and I would highly recommend the Brillliance of the Seas! Less
Published 11/22/13
Cabin review:
Nice inside cabin with a sitting area-loveseat and coffee table. Minirefrigerator(more like a cooler). Long vanity/desk.
Port and Shore Excursions
Island Tour
Great tour with Tyrone that was organized by Brenda and Ken for cruise critic people. Great tour for $25.00 that was supposed to be for 4 hours,and was nearly 5 hours! Lots of photo stops,and even included a stop where we fed monkeys!
Long tour but broken up by a stop in a fishing village,photo stops,gardens and waterfall,sulfur springs,and a buffet lunch(which was just ok). Great views of the Pitons. I did think that this ship's tour could have given us a bottled water,but they did not. Took a lot of pictures. This is a very green,mountainous island and is beautiful!

The Flip Side of a Frightening Market
One of the reasons for my recently expressed caution on the stock market is that private-equity firms are lining up to sell companies in initial public offerings. Tony Black of Apollo Global Management (APO) recently said that this is a perfect environment for selling and that his firm is selling everything in the portfolio that isn't nailed down. Blackstone (BX) has been selling some companies and recently did an IPO of its SeaWorld (SEAS) holdings.
The stock market has been climbing steadily, and many assets values are inflated, so it makes sense to sell the stuff they bought a few years ago at much lower prices. It is a valid reason for concern about stock prices....614 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Pakistani Shiites demand protection in bombing aftermath
ISLAMABAD—Thousands of Shiite Muslims staged protests across Pakistan on Monday, demanding that the government and military protect them from Sunni extremists in a bombing that killed 89 on Saturday in the southwestern city of Quetta.
Shiites, a religious minority in Pakistan, pointed to the attack that followed a similar devastating bombing in January, as further evidence of Islamabad's indifference to what many describe as a pogrom against Shiites in Balochistan province.
The bombings have been aimed in particular at ethnically Hazara Shiites whose distinctive features have made them easy, frequent targets of gun-wielding assassins in recent months. Sunni militant groups do not consider Shiites to be Muslims.
Many families of Saturday's bombing victims refuse to bury their dead until the Pakistani army acts against Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a banned militia that asserted responsibility for Saturday's bombing and for a January blast that killed more than 90.
The sectarian killings and subsequent unrest present yet another challenge to the strategically vital, nuclear-armed nation, already embroiled in a war against an indigenous Taliban.
"The government has failed to protect the lives of people and maintain peace," Maulana Amin Shaheedi, deputy secretary of the main political organization representing different Shiite groups in Pakistan, said at a news conference in Quetta, the provincial capital. "We will not bury the victims until the army is deployed in Quetta."
The paramilitary Frontier Corps is nominally in charge of security in Balochistan, a huge, sparsely populated province that comprises about 40 percent of Pakistan's land mass.
But Shiite activists and their supporters want a concerted operation by the main military to end the sectarian attacks.
More than 400 Shiites were killed in Pakistan in 2012, the worst year on record for fatal attacks against Shiites, according to Human Rights Watch. More than 125 of those were killed in Balochistan, the group said.

The federal government missed last year's deficit target by nearly $1.4-billion and risks falling short again in 2012-13 as the global economy cools.
The final shortfall was $26.2-billion for the fiscal year that ended March 31, down from a deficit of $33.4-billion in 2010-11, according to the government's annual financial report, released Friday.
But Finance Minister Jim Flaherty had forecast a more rapid decline in the deficit to $24.9-billion in his March budget.
Mr. Flaherty put a more upbeat spin on the numbers.
"This positive performance is encouraging and reflects Canada's sound economic and fiscal fundamentals," he said in a statement. "However, the global economic environment is still fragile and uncertain, and recent economic developments suggest that there are downside risks to the fiscal outlook."
The Finance Department added that the financial report "clearly demonstrates the Harper government's ongoing efforts to ensure prudent and responsible spending," citing a downward trend in program spending relative to gross domestic product.
The main cause of the larger gap was weaker than expected revenue. Economists pointed out that Ottawa will also likely have trouble meeting its deficit projection for 2012-13 of $21.1-billion.
"It's going to be a little bit more of a challenge to meet their target," acknowledged Paul Ferley, Royal Bank of Canada assistant chief economist. "The starting point is higher. So it's a little bit more difficult for them."
Through July, Ottawa's deficit for 2012-13 is roughly $3-billion lower than last year. But the March budget forecast a $4-billion decline.
Mr. Ferley said Ottawa could still get "back on track" in the remaining eight months of the government's fiscal year. The main threat to Ottawa's fiscal outlook is the uncertainty over where the global economy is headed, according to Mr. Ferley.
Once-booming Asia is slowing, much of Europe is back in recession and Canada's largest trading partner, the United States, risks following suit if the President and Congress can't reach a budget compromise soon. Without a deal after the Nov. 6 election, the U.S. government would head over a "fiscal cliff" of sharply higher taxes.
Canada's overall fiscal position remains healthy, according to the Finance Department. The country's total debt-to-GDP was 33.3 per cent in 2011 – best in the Group of Seven. The second-best performer was Germany, with a ratio of 52 per cent.
Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page warned in a report earlier this month that while Ottawa finances are improving, the fiscal situation of some provinces is getting worse. If provinces and municipalities keep piling on debt at the current pace, they could look like troubled Greece within a few decades, he warned. The report calculates that provinces and their municipalities have a fiscal gap of about 2 per cent of gross domestic product now – or $36-billion – and by 2086 will have debt worth 350 per cent of GDP. Ottawa, Mr. Page said, will be in a structural surplus.Report Typo/Error

Human rights advocates have slammed Department of International Relations and Co-operation spokesman Clayson Monyela for saying that the boys and men who gang-raped a 17-year-old mentally disabled girl last month should be raped in prison.
Just Detention International (JDI) said in a statement that "When government officials promote prisoner rape, nobody is safe. Clayson Monyela is quoted as saying that he hopes the perpetrators will 'find like-minded monsters in jail to give them a taste of their own medicine'," said JDI, based in SA and the US. It seeks to end sexual abuse in all forms of detention.
Monyela said on Wednesday he had already retracted his remark.
"On the day the story broke I tweeted that I shall be praying for them to get a taste of their own medicine. "I didn't call for that. I said I prayed for it. But then I realized that was a bit over the top and retracted the remark."
Lovisa Stannow, JDI's executive director, said that Monyela's remarks were horrifying. "It is irresponsible for anyone to claim that the proper response to one brutal crime is another brutal crime.
"When a government official makes that statement, it puts people's lives at risk."
Sasha Gear, a programme director at JDI's Joburg office, said that, unfortunately, we know such attacks were common.
"But they are not so different from the rape of people behind bars. Sexual violence is fuelled by hyper-masculine attitudes that connect manhood to the abuse of people who appear vulnerable. Calling for the perpetrators in this case to be raped is not a call for justice. Rather, it will lead only to more sexual violence."
According to a government study, 7 percent of inmates in SA reported being subjected to unwanted sexual attention; nearly half of all inmates reported sexual abuse in prison happens "sometimes", "often", or "very often". Prisoner rape has fuelled the spread of HIV/Aids.
JDI collaborates with advocacy groups, corrections officials, and government agencies to end sexual abuse in SA's prisons. - Cape Argus

Fitbit Tracks Your Workouts and Your Sleep
Although I think healthy living is often about simplifying things, I still love techy health gadgets. If you're a health nut like me, you probably wonder everyday if you've gotten enough sleep or how many calories you burned on your morning jog. Most fitness gadgets only monitor your workouts, but the Fitbit ($99) keeps tabs on your sleep too. So it keeps track of you day and night.
It contains a motion sensor like the ones found in a Nike+ Sports Kit or the Nintendo Wii. The Fitbit measures the duration and intensity of your walks or runs, how many calories you've burned, the number of steps you've taken, and distance you've traveled each day. It also monitors your bedtime habits by tracking how long it took you to fall asleep, the number of times you woke up during the night, and how long you were actually asleep. It has a small blue OLED display that shows your steps, calories, distance, and overall activity level. Interested in more details? Then
Fitbit is also wireless. Your data will automatically be uploaded to the Fitbit website as soon as you walk within 25 feet of the base station, which comes with the Fitbit. This tracking device isn't shipping until late December/early January, so if you want to be the first on your block to have one, you can preorder on the website.

Cricket World Cup chief executive John Harnden is confident the six-week ICC event can sustain interest and keep the football codes off the back pages.
The local organising committee of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 to be staged in Australia and New Zealand announced their ticket-pricing scheme on Wednesday, with families the big winners.
For all pool matches, $5 kids tickets will be available and for most of the preliminary fixtures adult prices start from $20.
Even for the final to be staged at the MCG, children will gain entry from $60.
In the majority of cases, families will be able to attend pool matches for less than $150.
Harnden denied the length of the tournament and the quality of some of the teams made the World Cup a tough sell, but said it was important families were kept in mind.
"The reality is it takes that long to field the pool section and then over finals the travel across two countires and logistics dictates that's where it ends up," Harnden said in Sydney on Wednesday.
"Also it's about building momentum for a tournament.
"There's plenty to go around for everybody and for us. The point when the footy codes start is at pointy end of the tournament where we would expect interest to be at its peak.
"We believe we've got a world class product one of the biggest in the world and people will come along.
"We've done extensive research for our pricing and this is what we think the right pricings are.
"This is about making certain everyone comes along and is part of the world cup.
"Common sense (is a big part of it) - that's what we've done.
"A lot of the research supports there's enormous support for people wanting to be part of the cricket World Cup."

Cow's milk allergy
An allergy to cow's milk can occur at any age, but is most commonly found in babies. It's estimated that approximately 2- 3% of babies have a cow's milk allergy, which is usually outgrown as they mature. It is the protein in cow's milk that triggers an allergic reaction is some babies, which can cause them to be uncomfortable, unhappy or unwell.
A cow's milk allergy and lactose intolerance - the inability to digest the sugar lactose - are two different conditions. Lactose intolerance is actually quite rare in babies and tends to develop in older children and adults.
Symptoms of cow's milk allergy
If your baby is allergic to the protein in cow's milk, you will begin to see symptoms appear within a few months of birth.
Some symptoms can appear rapidly. These can include:
- irritability
- vomiting
- wheezing
- swelling
- hives, other itchy bumps on the skin
- bloody diarrhoea
- Anaphylaxis - though this is extremely rare as a result of a milk allergy
Some symptoms don't appear for 7-10 days. They can include:
- loose poo (possibly containing blood)
- vomiting
- gagging
- refusing food
- irritability or colicky
- skin rashes
Most children suffering from these symptoms as a result of a cow's milk allergy are likely to outgrow the allergy by the time they are two years old.

The captain of the 3rd squad of the Shinsengumi during the Bakamatsu in Japan in the 1800s. He later went on to be a police man by the name of Goro Fujita. He has also been incarnated in Rurouni Kenshin and has skills only second to Kenshin and uses his signature technique, the Gatotsu a powerful attack that is nearly unstoppable and was only evaded by Kenshin. He is probably the 3rd strongest and most skilled swordsman in the Rurouni Kenshin series(Kenshin being first and Hiko being second). He is also the only real main character in the series. He has thin eyes and wheres a police man suit.
Saito Hajime was the captain of the 3rd squad of the Shinsengumi.

Stop Trying To Make Hailey Baldwin Happen.
Just Stop.
Ireland Baldwin became a thing because she's
underage a leggy, impossibly hot blonde who also happens to be the daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. And even I'll admit some of that may be over-hyped. (Or under-hyped depending how long you stare at this Vine video.) Since then, there's been a movement to make her same-age cousin Hailey Baldwin happen and even pit the two against each other to see who's the hottest even though that war was over the second Ireland was the one born without Stephen Baldwin's face. Someone has to let the poor girl know before it's Demi Moore not telling her daughter their heads are mutated potatoes all over again. "What do you mean I should be photographed as little as possible? I'm a Willis!"
