Lady Gaga is pulling double duty at this year's Coachella.
The headliner, who replaced Beyoncé on the festival bill, will also use her time in Indio to film scenes for her starring role in Warner Bros' remake of "A Star Is Born" — and she's inviting fans to participate.
On Sunday morning following the pop star's headlining set, users of Coachella's mobile app were notified of the opportunity to appear in a scene being filmed on the festival's grounds with the singer and director/co-star Bradley Cooper.
Swiveling searchlights lit up the night sky a few miles away from where Coachella festivalgoers were jamming along to Lady Gaga's Saturday night performance.
Down an unpaved street just off the desert highway, designer Jeremy Scott hosted his annual Coachella party, a brightly lit desert oasis that seemed as unreal as a mirage.
The Candy Crush-themed bash (in honor of Scott's upcoming capsule collection inspired by the mobile app) featured performances by rappers Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert that were livestreamed by entertainment platform Tidal. At the end of the night, Katy Perry and Scott started a dance party onstage along to DJ Mia Moretti's set.
At what point does an EDM prank spiral out of control? And does that mean we really have to listen to it at every major festival now?
When the DJ/producer known as Marshmello debuted the project two years ago, he positioned it as a wink-nudge race to the bottom of American EDM gimmickry. He saw your 3-D-mapped mouse head, Deadmau5, and raised you a giant piece of grimacing fluffy candy in its stead.
The music was aggressively dumb -- corn-syrup synth lines atop same mid-tempo, almost-trap-music lurch the Chainsmokers took to the top of the charts, minus even a perfunctory stab at songwriting.
"When I'm done tonight, they are gonna have me headline," DJ Khaled declared at the top of his Coachella set Saturday night.
That's a rather cocky assertion when you're playing among 150 acts, but the producer/DJ promised the tightly packed crowd in the Sahara (bodies spilled out of the sides with no visible end in sight) that he had the entire music industry waiting in the wings.
And did he deliver? No.
"Is there anyone out there?" Kendrick Lamar kept asking as he closed the first weekend of this year's Coachella festival, and the answer was definitely yes.
But if he drew an enormous crowd on par with Lady Gaga's the night before, the acclaimed Compton rapper did without most of Gaga's pop spectacle.
Rapping largely by himself on a bare stage, Lamar performed a stripped-down set that combined staples such as "Money Trees" and "..., Don't Kill My Vibe" with tunes from his brand-new album, "Damn," which came out Friday.
The MC did bring out several surprise guests in Future, Schoolboy Q and Travis Scott, with whom he did their duet, "Goosebumps."
And several dancers joined Lamar at various points in the show. But for a rapper who's been hailed for his big ideas and intricate wordplay, this felt like a demonstration of skills over flash.
Lorde opened her set on Coachella's main stage Sunday night with an expert troll, blasting a recording of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" -- a winking reference, it seemed, to recent reports -- since refuted -- that the festival's founder had refused to book Bush (a clear Lorde influence) because people wouldn't understand her act.
Almost as soon as Lorde's set got going, though, the young New Zealander cleaved to established Coachella tradition, promising she had some surprises in store.
Judging by the crowd's enthusiastic reaction, many fans assumed that meant a guest star or two -- maybe her pal Taylor Swift?
In fact, the surprise turned out to be a performance of a new song from her upcoming album, "Melodrama," which she said is about "the ups and downs of being a twentysomething."
The track is called "Homemade Dynamite," she added, and it appeared to tell the tale of an explosive night out.
A packed, totally enthralled crowd flooding the Outdoor Stage. Thundering drums, ethereal vocals, a surprise Pharrell Williams cameo.
A triumphant turn from an EDM superstar? Nope. Just film composer Hans Zimmer absolutely devastating a Coachella crowd that had no idea what it was in for.
When the Coachella lineup was announced this year, Zimmer's presence was the one chin-scratcher. His scores have, for three decades, set the tone for some of the biggest blockbuster films of our time. "The Dark Knight," "Inception," "The Lion King," for starters. The resume speaks for itself.
Nao was faced with a tough task for her debut showing at Coachella on Sunday afternoon.
She had to command a crowd that already had two days of the festival under its belt -- though it may be more accurate to say under its feet.
Audience weariness aside, playing anytime before 5 p.m. can be a toss-up, especially on the festival's final day.
At least one Coachella stage will be darker longer than usual after French rap duo PNL were forced to pull its gig in the 11th hour due to a visa issue.
The duo, comprising brothers Tarik and Nabil Andrieu, grew up in the French projects to immigrant parents.
Taking to social media, the group informed fans that Tarik had yet to be granted a visa in order to make Sunday's performance, which would have marked the duo's U.S. debut.
"Don't be scared — I've done this before," Lady Gaga told the massive crowd gathered for her Saturday night headlining set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. And, sure, this was hardly the Super Bowl halftime veteran's first experience before a live audience numbering in the tens of thousands.
But the performance did mark Lady Gaga's debut at America's highest-profile music festival, held every spring for nearly two decades on the sprawling grounds of the Empire Polo Club in Indio. It also opened a new chapter for Coachella, which has long hesitated to book a current pop superstar for its gigantic main stage.
Once known for presenting edgy alternative rock and dance music, the annual desert blowout has moved gradually toward the mainstream as its size, prestige and reputation as an upscale celebrity magnet have grown. Madonna famously performed in one of the festival's tents in 2006, and last year Rihanna dropped in for a surprise appearance with the EDM star Calvin Harris.
At one show, a cheek-to-jowl crowd shuddering under peak-hour sub-bass so strong it could stop your pulse. At another, a daytime crowd of techno lifers trying to figure out the magic tricks of a supergroup making a rare appearance.
These were the scenes at DJ Snake and Belleville Three, each defining the twin poles of dance music at Coachella right now.
DJ Snake is the standard bearer for what EDM culture has become now -- an arms race of aggressive trap and dubstep, with occasional punctuation of high-velocity rave.

Wabash Helps Community Play Santaby Patrick Bryant '16 • December 17, 2012 Share:
Come Christmas morning, 475 families will be opening presents thanks in part to Wabash College and its involvement in the Montgomery County Youth Services Bureau's REINdeer project.
According to Alecia Franklin, Senior Administrative Assistant to the Dean for College Advancement and Development and co-coordinator of the REINdeer program at Wabash, this year Wabash faculty, staff, students, fraternities, and various clubs, supported 61 of the 475 families that are being helped this season. The College played host to the project's gift distribution through Knowling Fieldhouse. Franklin said the shear sight of Knowling filled with gifts for the more than 1,700 people that make up the 475 families is truly heartwarming.
"It's amazing to have all these tables set up," Franklin said. "It's really worthwhile, and it's just overwhelming to see all those bags sitting there."
In addition to the College facilitating the drop-off and pick-up location for gifts, Bon Appetit, the College's food service provider, donated coffee and treats for the participants.
Despite a difficult economy in recent years and a growing number of families in need of help, Franklin said the Wabash community has actually increased its involvement over the past few years. Franklin said that this is just a testament to how involved Wabash is in Crawfordsville and Montgomery County.
David Troutman, Director of Gift Planning here and REINdeer's co-coordinator with Franklin at Wabash, said the responses to campus-wide emails were immediate and positive, "wonderful" he said.
"Since [Franklin and I] have been doing it, the campus has been great at embracing and responding to the REINdeer project," Troutman said.
As the Advancement Office, which Franklin and Troutman are both a part of, has through various endeavors, like the Senior Gift Campaign, made an effort to instill in students the importance of giving back to one's school and one's community.
"It's so simple and so easy to do this," Troutman said, "and it's a pretty natural fit for [the Advancement Office] to take the 'reins' so to speak, and be the one championing this program. And of course, we hope that in doing so, people see that while we're out asking for money from folks all across the nation, at the same time we want to have an impact on our community in a positive way, so we need to do those things because this is where we live, work, and play."
Troutman said giving back and involving oneself to make a positive contribution in community is something that a Wabash man gains through their education.
"In my experience, the Wabash community is, historically, good at giving back to the community," Troutman said. "[Giving back is] part of the mission at Wabash."
Giving back is not something that is meant to last only four years, while a student is on the Wabash campus, but Franklin said projects like these can help form that "habit" of giving back that can be taken wherever students call home.
"It's just good for the students to get used to getting in the habit of giving back, wherever they live, not just here in Montgomery County," Franklin said. "Wherever you move, it's just important to find out more about your community and getting involved."

Supervise your pet when first using the harness and always store the harness out of reach when not in use. A small number of dogs, particularly puppies, will be tempted to chew the harness. Chewing is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Buddy Belt recommends treating your harness with a quality water and stain repellent product made for leather. If the harness gets wet, allow it to dry flat at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Never put leather in the dryer. Avoid products with silicone and/or wax as these ingredients tend to break down the natural oils in leather. Please note that the Buddy Belt is not intended for swimming or other full water play.

In the era of castles and gallant knights, kings would gather the nobility for fanciful feasts and tournaments of valor in celebration of important events. Those days still exist inside Excalibur during its "Tournament of Kings" dinner show.
With authentic costumes, state of the art sound and lighting, jousting knights, invading armies, fire wielding wizards and a three course meal served medieval style, "Tournament of Kings" dinner show offers something exciting for guests of any age. This $1 Million, original musical production - adapted from the legend of King Arthur - is produced by Royal Productions of Las Vegas and is directed by Phil Shelbourne. The action in the 900 seat theater-in-the-round arena is a fist-pounding romp into medieval revelry. Adding to the allure of the show, each guest is served a three course meal fit for a king. Cornish game hen, fresh, steamed broccoli, and seasoned potato wedges is the impressive main course and is served medieval style - without utensils.
As the story unfolds, the joyous Arthur gathers the rulers of Europe for a fantastic banquet and competition. Each section of the arena is given a king to be the subjects of and to root for, and the audience is encouraged to hoot, holler, and pound on the tables, which kids love. The kings challenge their knightly skills while riding their faithful steeds. Once we get to the contests and battles, things pick up fairly nicely. The combatants seem to go at each other with reckless abandon. The fights can be quite exciting. The jousting is the best--watching these men on horses running at a gallop toward each other with lances. It takes a lot of skill and ability, and I applaud them for their prowess. King Arthur's hospitality is met with hostility when the evil fire wizard, Mordred, invades the festivities. The kings of Europe must unite if the fire wizard is to be defeated.
The production show has a sizable cast of 44 actors, musicians, 38 horses and an audience of 900. "Audience participation is an integral part of the show," says director Phil Shelburne. "They will be singing, cheering, and up on their feet for this show."
The late Peter Jackson created the original concept of the show, which is now produced by his son, Patrick, of Royal Productions, Inc. Emmy-nominated French designer Michel Fresnay created the stunning, authentic costumes that harkens back to the days of Camelot.
The original score, composed by Scot Rammer and arranged by Joseph Blaum, pull the audience further into the show. Stunning visual effects, such as the pyrotechnics of the fire wizard, heighten the audience's experience.

Did you know that by trading your vehicle in at any Dick Hannah Dealership you only have to pay sales tax on the difference between the price of vehicle you purchase and the one you trade in.
Here's an example:
|Trade-in allowance:
|You only pay:
In this example you save $1,230 by trading your vehicle at any Dick Hannah Dealership.
Yes. In fact, we'll buy your car even if you don't buy one from us.
Once your car has been appraised, we'll give you a written offer that's good for seven days. And you are under no obligation to buy one of Dick Hannah's cars if you sell us yours.
You must bring your car to a Dick Hannah store to receive an appraisal. To determine your offer, one of our Appraisers will need to inspect and test drive your car. When we're done, we'll give you a written offer good for seven days. Make an appointment to have my car appriased.
Even though we'll buy any car, not all of those bought by Dick Hannah wil be sold to the public. Each car must pass our rigorous inspection before we'll consider it for our lot, and cars that don't meet our high-quality standards are sold at auctions to other dealers.
If you have questions about the appraisal of your car, speak with the Appraiser who developed the offer. Our Appraisers can provide a thorough explanation about the factors that influenced your offer. Start now by contacting an Appraiser.
Our appraisal offers vary from retail prices for several reasons. Due to the costs associated with reconditioning and applying guarantees and warranties on the cars we purchase for retail sale, we must purchase a car at a lesser amount than what we will sell it for. All cars that we purchase for retail sale, regardless of the condition, must undergo a thorough inspection and be reconditioned to meet our high-quality standards.
The Dick Hannah written offer is good for seven days, and is valid whether you buy a car from us or not. Most traditional dealerships appraisals are based on you trading in your car for a new one, and they won't buy your car outright. And if you decide not to buy a car from us, your offer will stay the same.
Your car's overall physical and mechanical condition will have an impact on your appraisal offer.
No appraisal appointment is necessary. Just visit any Dick Hannah dealership or call for details. Your appraisal takes as little as 30 minutes. If you would like to set up an appointment, contact an Appraiser, or consult a Sales Consultant.
In most cases, we may be able to accept a Power of Attorney, allowing someone else to sign on the absent titleholder's behalf. If a titleholder is deceased, you may have to transfer the title into your name before Dick Hannah can buy your car. This can usually be done by taking the title and supporting papers to the local titling office. However, because this process varies by state, ask an Appraiser for more information.
In most cases, you can sell your leased car in almost the same way as any other financed car. We'll appraise the car or truck, then contact the leasing company for a payoff quote and process any equity you might have. Please note that some leasing companies will not allow you to sell the car prior to the expiration of the lease. Also, be aware that your leased car might not be eligible for the trade-in tax savings described above. Check with your leasing company for complete details.
If your pay-off amount is more than the offer for your car, the difference is called "negative equity." In some cases, the negative equity can be included in your financing when you buy a Dick Hannah car. If not, we'll calculate the difference between your pay-off and our offer to you. We'll accept a cashier's or certified check, certified funds, or cash for the amount you owe on your car and then pay your current debt off in full. If the amount you owe is less than $250, we will accept a personal check. Our written offers are good for seven days, giving you time to get any necessary funds to settle your transaction.
We will need to contact your lien holder during business hours to get a 10-day payoff. To pay off the lien, we will need your lien holder's name and phone number, the name(s) on the account, and your lien holder's account number and social security number. If a previously paid-off lien is listed on the title, you'll need both the title and the lien release from the lien holder before we can purchase your car.

Celebrating Christmas when your loved one is in a care home
If you have a loved one in a care home, Christmas may have seemed to lose a little of its sparkle. But it doesn't have to be that way. Care homes offer plenty of opportunities to celebrate with your loved one, and to enjoy the festive season just the same as if they were still at home.
Celebrating with your loved one
Just because your loved one is in a care home, doesn't mean you have to exclude them from your festive celebrations. Why not pop in and decorate their room, or bring them some Christmas cards from their friends and family to open and read with them? Aside of this, here are some top tips for making your visit and celebrations go well:
· Play music and sing: Older people can get a great deal out of singing and listening to music, so bring along a CD or an iPod with speaker to play some of their favourite festive melodies.
· Show them your photos: So many of us leave photographs languishing on our smartphones or PCs, never to see the light of day again. Print out a handful of photos from recent events, and let your loved one look through them to reminisce and catch up on all your news.
· Favourite foods: The care home is likely to be loaded with treats over the festive period, but that doesn't mean you can't bring along some old favourites. From home made mince pies to their favourite fudge, a taste of home can bring comfort and joy to your loved one.
· Get involved: Hopefully you've already got some familiar faces around the home, such as care workers or other residents and their families, so join in with activities to reinforce those connections. If you're new to the home, this is a great time of year to make new friends and connect with people, which can be truly valuable in helping your loved one to feel included.
· Don't overdo things: As much as you want to enjoy this special time, it's crucial not to overdo the festivities. Particularly people living with dementia can become overwhelmed if there's too much going on, and even those who are not cognitively challenged will become tired if they try to do too much. Schedule some quiet time to let everyone recharge their batteries.
Celebrating with older people in their care home setting doesn't need to be anything less than magical. Talk to our team about how best to spend the festive season with your loved one, and make this Christmas just as special as all the others.
Christmas at Blenheim House
Our care team work hard in the run up to Christmas to get our residents involved in plenty of festive activities. From making decorations to buying and wrapping presents, we want to make Christmas just as fun in our home as it is at home, and to welcome family and friends to spend time with their loved ones.
We like to get to know each individual person in an intimate way, particularly if they are suffering with cognitive impairment. Telling us about past Christmases, favourite foods or songs and other familiar situations can help us to tailor their Christmas experience to make it memorable.
You are welcome to join us for a special meal on Christmas day, or at any other time over the festive period. In fact, our doors are always open, so whether you want to come for an hour or stay all day, we'll ensure you can have a wonderful time with your loved one this year. We often have Christmas entertainment or other events taking place, so why not ask a member of staff if you'd like to join in with some of these activities.
Of course, you don't have to stay in the home, so if you'd like to take your loved one to a carol service, out for a meal or to your family home for the day, just talk to our care team to find out how we can help you. Christmas is a time for family, and whether you live nearby or far away, we want to help you and your loved one to celebrate in a way that meets all your needs.

Mitt Would Save $5 Million Per Year Under His Tax Plan
According to research by the liberal-leaning Citizens for Tax Justice and the conservative-leaning Tax Foundation, President Romney would save around $5 million bucks next year under his tax plan in comparison to the plan put forward by President Obama.
Class Warfare? I think not!
Romney the Shape Shifter
Obviously, the 2012 Mitt Romney platform plays to the conservatives to win the Republican nomination, while Mitt Romney's earlier platform played to the liberals in Massachusetts to try to unseat Senator Edward Kennedy. In fact, Mitt Romney's earlier platform was actually more liberal than Kennedy's liberal platform. Here are but a few examples:
President Obama's Fighting Words
Link from CNN. I think many of us-especially those of us who criticized President Obama for being too soft and compromising too much during his presidency-were pleasantly surprised at the sharpness and tone of his remarks yesterday during his speech which pretty much sliced and diced the Ryan-Romney Budget.
Don't Blame the Victim!
ABC News is reporting the following : George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch crime captain who shot dead 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, originally told police in a written statement that Martin knocked him down with a punch to the nose, repeatedly slammed his head on the ground and tried to take his gun, a police source told ABC News. Zimmerman had claimed he had called police about Martin, whom he found suspicious, then went back to his car when Martin attacked him, punching him.
More Moderates But Less of a Voice
Link from The Hill. This is a great article by Juan Williams which illustrates what we all know: more and more people are falling into the "moderate" category of politics but our representatives are increasingly portraits of the extremes. The only point I would add from my perspective is that the extremism seems to be much more right-leaning these days.
Women's Issues Cause NY Republican Lawmaker to Support Obama
Questions about women and women's health have dominated the political debate over the past weeks, and at least one female Republican lawmaker is unhappy with her party's record. New York Assemblyman Teresa Sayward (R), who is retiring after serving a decade in Albany, told the New York political program Capital Tonight that she does not support any of her party's presidential candidates, because of their stances on women.
Is it Morning in America?
Although it makes the Anti-Obama crowd on the right and the Anti-Reagan crowd on the left uncomfortable, it's not difficult to note many similarities between President Reagan and President Obama in areas including governing style, personality and the challenges they faced during their presidencies.
Republicans Not Even Pretending to be Fiscally Conservative Anymore
According to a recent report by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, only one remaining Republican presidential candidate (Ron Paul) has proposed policies that would actually reduce the national debt. The rest have made promises that would put us even deeper in the hole.
Did Obama Mangle the Contraception Decision on Purpose?
Most people think Obama made a serious error with this whole Catholic/contraception fiasco, and his supporters are glad the issue is now mostly behind him.

Have you read the 3rd Doctor comic that's currently running? The last issue will come out sometime in February. It's a classic 3rd Doc and UNIT story, and I think you'd like it. I don't even go out of my way to read Doc Who comics that often, but seeing that this one was written by Cornell was what convinced me, and it's lived up to the potential so far.
Hmmmm. This is probably my most visited site after youtube, so I visit here from everywhere: my house, my friend's houses, the hospital I work at, school, and of course abroad. I wasn't having this problem until after I downloaded some torrents (it should be noted that the problem is occuring Pokemon Showdown as well), so maybe that has something to do with it. My IP is 126.96.36.199.
I keep getting my IP banned for unexplained reasons. Can you tell me why?
Book Six done. Seven arms under breasts, one arm under chest. The book really ticked me off, even for how insufferable the women can be, they were REALLY insufferable this book especially with how they treated Matt who, while yes he can be a prick, always had the best intentions for them and the girls always treat him like dirt. Not a lot was accomplished in the book in terms of plot though I'll give it credit, that ending with the Asha'man was easily one of the best and most memorable endings, Jesus Christ they were turning people into red mist!
Well onto Book 7!
Yeah, I'm also way behind it, only on episode 8. I was just curious about your opinion, cause I was a bit reticent regarding seeing this or not. It's like you said - it's Dragonball, so I decided to give it a chance.
You're also a big fan of One Piece, aren't you? Do you prefer it to Dragon Ball?
Hey Robby. Sorry to bother you, but I noticed you are a big fan of Dragon Ball (and a great poster), so I would like to know if you're enjoying Dragon Ball Super?

What's Up With Bitter Bernie?
Back in the day, any post about Bitter Bernie was good for some buzz here, but he just doesn't get the ink anymore. The most recent news item that reference Bernard Parks is a mention of his endorsement of candidate Bill Rosendahl on Westside Today.
So if any of you have any news about Bitter Bernie, feel free to post it here. With his candidate days numbered, you may not have more opportunities.

Ok, I don't know how the formatting of this post is going to work but I wanted to post the beginnings of my Square Food Garden for this Real Food Wednesday. This year I started about 90% of my plants from seed, which I now realize is a big part of the work of gardening.
I started at the end of February and through much trial and error, managed to cultivate some successful starts! I have much to improve upon for next year, but now I have some confidence under my belt. Another big project was working the soil to amend that hard clay. That involved lots of tilling, applying lots of compost (including mature goat manure), and adding a nice, loamy soil amendment. I think next year I'll know of some even better options for amending the clay soil, but I must say that it seems as though the soil is very healthy and the plants are growing well so far. But there is always room for improvment.
Below you'll see my beets, radishes, broccoli, strawberries, mint, and sweet peas. Not pictured are the bush beans, pumpkins, zucchini squash, tomatoes, corn, chard, spinach, lettuce, stevia, peppermint, parsley, rosemary, sage, marjoram, rose geranium and one turnip (only one came up, blessed turnip!) I'll keep updating!

So what veggies did you have to fence in? I noticed that some of the produce is not fenced. Do the critters only like certain types of greens?

I love square foot gardening! We're moving from our apartment to a house this month and I can't wait to get started again!

we do square foot gardening (this is our second year). we moved our raised bed to the front yard because it has more sun. so it joins our other raised bed in the front:)
i would love to do my own starts. i will have to look into getting the lights, etc. for next year. we compost so our newest raised bed is made up of a good chunk of our beautiful compost soil!

Looks great!!! We have a small bed in our front yard. I have to admit I am more of a flower gardener than veggie as I don't have the heart for the disappointment of snail/earwig/ant/caterpillar eaten leaves that were supposed to be our supper!
I'd LOVE to hear your natural pest-defeating tips! We use "beer traps" for slugs and "vegetable oil traps" for earwigs (which also attract/kill ants!). However, our neighbor with the uber-green thumb pointed out that the marigolds I have scattered throughout out to keep away animals are a big magnet for slugs! (Although there is some added benefit in what the marigolds feed into the soil...)
Anyway, if you have any green/organic pest-advice, please post!

The basil plant looks lovely! We started a raised bed garden this year using seed and tomato seedlings we ordered via mail. We have quite a mix-from strawberries and asparagus, to arugula and herbs. I'm so looking forward to the bounty. Wishing you good luck with your veges, etc.!
- June 3, 2009 at 4:47 PM
- Kim said...
I'm not trying to be argumentative; I just wanted to observe that the 2 keys to Square Foot Gardening, as explained by the inventor (not that it's copyrighted), is the sectioning into square feet, and the raised-bed soil mix. I'm confused because clay isn't a part of the soil mix, so maybe this is not Square Foot Gardening exactly.
We just started 3 "Square-foot"gardens this year, so I've read up a lot. Ours were seed-planted a week ago, and I'm amazed what's already coming up! I think the soil mix was crucial, so I'm mentioning it.
Also, Leesie, FYI, I remember in the book that asparagus is one of the few crops that thrives best when planted in about a 4" by 4" as a solo crop (can't remember exactly why).
Love this wonderful blogspot!

- Kim said...
Oh, and for that excellent question from Iconography Girl,
We are daily spraying around our garden with a water/peppermint essential oil mix. It is helping with ants as far as we can tell, but I'm still a newbie, so I can't say for sure....
Our local Ace Hardware sells Ladybugs. We are planning to buy them and toss them in our gardens when more plants come up.

I've found that the critters (little green caterpillars) really like the brassicas (in my case, broccoli). The slugs really like lettuce and beans, it seems. The fencing is rather arbitrary; it's just what we had in the garden (part of it blew over a few years back in a windstorm!)
The main critters I deal with are aphids, slugs, and the aforementioned caterpillars. I'm sure there are other, but they haven't posed a big problem!
- June 3, 2009 at 10:13 PM
- Carrie @ OrganicThrifty said...
That's awesome! I never knew I would be so obsessed with soil! If I had a raised bed it would be so much easier to control the weeds, I'm sure!
For doing my starts, I bought a shop light at Fred's for $9.99 and used an old shelf I had outside. I dragged it into our master bath and converted that room to our green house (we didn't really use it much anyway). I think next year I'll add another shop light to go beside it and provide increased intensity (at my genius-gardener Father-In-Law's suggestion).
- June 3, 2009 at 10:16 PM
- Carrie @ OrganicThrifty said...
For pest control, I do aim to keep it all natural.
My Father-in-law gave me a great slug tip:
Buy a costco-sized container of plain black pepper. Add to it a regular spice jar's worth of cayenne. Shake together until mixed. Spread it in a ring around the plants and the slugs won't attempt to cross that barrier. Totally safe and won't hurt the earthworms!
For the brassica caterpillar, hand removal seemed to really help control the population,but I did end up buying "BT" which is a strain of bacteria (harmless to everyone but that specific pest) that irritates the stomach of the green caterpillar. That seems to have efficiently taken care of the problem!
As for aphids, a spray of garlic and clove oils seems to be working. Also, I planted nasturtiums all over the garden which are supposed to be helpful as well. I don't think we have an aphid problem, though.
yeah, but I learned about marigolds the hard way, but the good news is that they attract the slugs, but then when the slugs eat them, they die (or at least don't want to eat them ever again).
- June 3, 2009 at 10:21 PM
- Carrie @ OrganicThrifty said...
No problem. Actually, I realized that I am not really doing "orthodox" SFG, but I must mention that Mel Bartholemew's original book did not involve raised beds. It's the "New Square Foot Gardening" method that incorporates the raised beds.
And yes of course clay wouldn't be a part of the soil mix that you would create for a raised bed! Clay soil is what I have in the ground here in my neck of the woods, so I have to amend it.
And yes, my little plots are about 18 inch squares, not square feet. I had some perrenials growing that I had to sort of "work around" IFYWIM!!!
Thanks for the clarifications, though, I highly reccommend the New SFG method for those whose soils are poor, or just for the benefit of hand-creating a very fertile soil!
Good for you for doing a garden! I would love to try growing asparagus in the future!!
- June 3, 2009 at 10:25 PM
- Alyss said...
Great looking garden! I am also using a modified SFG method for my gardens. My "big" garden has about 8 inches of layered mulch, newspaper, native soil and peat moss topped by 4-6 inches of Mel's Mix. Mel's Mix is the peat moss/compost/vermiculite mixture recommended in The New Square Foot Gardening book. My "little" garden is compost, peat moss and native soil (dry, dead clay that has been under black plastic for years) ammended with mel's mix right where the plants are planted. Both gardens seem to be doing well.
For more info on what I'm planting and how everybody is doing check out my flickr page here:

I did not know that about the original book! Myself, I would have been overwhelmed by any other kind of gardening than raised bed or pots. Glad I ran into the 2nd edition of that book.
I'm going to find the bug control tips very handy. The slugs are already circling...
- June 6, 2009 at 9:09 PM

It sounds like you're doing sort of a "lasagna gardening" type of thing in your big garden? I'd love to know more about that!

A guest post by my daughter Laura Younger:
It's only June and the weather is h-o-t! I wouldn't call myself a huge ice cream person, but as soon as summer hits, I love it! Especially because ice cream reminds me of going to the beach. Growing up, our family beach trips involved ice cream sandwiches, after-dinner trips to Scoops Ice Cream parlor, and memories of my dad drinking the last of the melting cream out of the carton.
Over our Memorial Day beach trip, I was in charge of making the dessert for fish taco night. While I knew the fam would be happy enough with a gallon (or two), I wanted to put a bit more effort into the final product – And with three bloggers in the family, presentation is everything.
Enter ice cream pie. Easy, cheap, and loved by all. Especially, my pregnant sister.
Ice Cream Pie:
Crush 24 Oreos (or Joe's Joes) in a plastic bag with something hard or use a food processor – they don't have to be very fine because the bigger chunks of cookie taste great!
Mix crushed cookies with 1/4 cup melted butter until well combined
Press mixture into a pie pan using the back of a spoon and let harden in freezer (30 minutes minimum) or fridge (1 hour)
Spread one carton of ice cream into piecrust. Note: it's best to let the ice cream sit out for a while or make the pie when you get home from the grocery store and the ice cream has softened enough to spread
Put pie back in freezer for at least an hour
Serve with whipped cream, cherries, butterscotch, and chocolate syrup!
Photo: Laura, who blogs over at Taking Back My Twenties, is 26 and loves dessert almost as much as I do.

HOUSTON — A defense attorney for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl says the U.S. Army has begun questioning the soldier about his disappearance in Afghanistan that led to five years in captivity by the Taliban.
Eugene R. Fidell says his client is cooperating with the investigation at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio on Wednesday.
Fidell declined to comment on what Bergdahl is being asked.
An Army spokeswoman did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
The investigation's findings will help determine whether the 28-year-old is prosecuted for desertion or faces any other disciplinary action.
Bergdahl had been receiving care at Fort Sam Houston since returning to the United States on June 13 after his release by the Taliban on May 31.
Earlier this month, the Army announced Bergdahl had been given a desk job.

WINNSBORO, TX (KLTV) - Actress Daryl Hannah was released Thursday night from the Wood County Jail in Winnsboro after being arrested for protesting the Keystone XL Pipeline.
Wood County authorities said the Hannah and a landowner ran in front of construction equipment, and were detained by deputies.
The landowner, Eleanor Fairchild, was also charged with criminal trespass and obstructing a passageway. She bonded out of jail late Thursday.
Hannah is charged with criminal trespass for blocking an excavator by blocking its path. She posted a $4,500 bond and was released from jail late Thursday.
Earlier that afternoon, Wood County deputies asked the two to leave, and they refused. They were then arrested, and are currently held in the Wood County Justice Center.
Last August, Hannah was arrested at a pipeline protest outside the White House.
In 2010, Fairchild, the Wood County property owner voiced her concerns on the pipeline that had yet to start work in Texas.
Thursday evening, TransCanada released the following statement:
"It is unfortunate Ms. Hannah and other out of state activists have chosen to break the law by illegally trespassing on private property. It is also unfortunate that she and other professional activists have chosen to engage in illegal acts, putting their own safety and the safety of others at risk, along with trying to prevent thousands of Americans from providing for their families by helping to build the Gulf Coast Project and the energy security it will provide."

Summit League Tournament Preview
The Summit League tournament kicks off tomorrow at the Sioux Falls Arena, and three area teams will take the court. Saturday's session has been sold out and the event should provide for an entertaining, and intriguing atmosphere to play in.
The No.1 seed South Dakota State women are the first area team to play on the Arena's new playing surface, as they will play No. 8 seed Oakland at 12 p.m. SDSU was 2-0 against Oakland, defeating the Grizzlies, 64-43, and 83-48. The Jacks are 2-0 in Summit League tournament play against Oakland, winning 79-69 in 2009, and 61-54 in 2011.
The Jacks were 22-7 (overall), and 14-2 (Summit) were the Summit League regular season champions. The women have never lost an Summit League tournament game, winning the event four times, and making the NCAA tournament all four times.
Yesterday, three Jacks were honored with awards. Ashley Eide and Megan Waytashek were named to the Summit League first-team, and Katie Lingle was named Summit League sixth woman of the year.
The winner of the Jacks-Grizzlies match-up plays either Fort Wayne or Western Illinois on Monday at 12 p.m.
In the nightcap, the Jacks and Coyotes men play, but not each other.
The SDSU men are the No. 1 seed, and square off against No. 8 seed IUPUI at 6 p.m. The Jacks are 2-0 against IUPUI on the year, defeating the Jaguars, 80-65, and 82-45 during the regular season.
The Jacks finished the Summit League regular season as co-champions with Western Illinois, and finished with a 22-9, 13-3 record. SDSU is looking to repeat as Summit League tournament champions and go dancing again in the NCAA tournament.
Nate Wolters was named Summit League player of the year for the Jacks.
The winner of SDSU-IUPUI faces off against Oakland or Fort Wayne on Monday at 6 p.m.
Meanwhile, the Coyote men reached the Summit League tournament for the first time are hoping to make some noise as the underdog. They are the No. 7 seed and play Western Illinois at 8:30 p.m. The Coyotes were 10-19, 5-11 in 2012-2013. USD lost both match-ups with Western Illinois during the regular season, losing 73-71, and 61-59 to the Leathernecks. Their last game was a week aga against the Leathernecks, losing 61-59, and it should be another tight game.
Juevol Myles was named to the Summit League All-Newcomer team.
The winner of USD-Western Illinois faces the winner of North Dakota State-Kansas City on Monday at 8:30 p.m.
The No. 3 seed USD women play No. 6 seed North Dakota State on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Mr. Farmer only holds rights to the masks theme & some back-end customization –
While I still holds the copyright to the basic application and it's live-monitoring.
A copyright has been filed, just in case any questions may arise, who originally authored it.
The redistribution happened without authorization – and without any recompense for the author.
The application has been bundled by Mr. Farmer with an abandoned project's code – he unpacked it's source-code and removed the copyright notice in about twenty-five cases – while he was telling his clients it is so called "open source" code, which he "maintains"… while he is actually distributing other people's intellectual property to clueless people – which probably even think, that they support "Open Source" – while they just fund some ´copy & paste artist instead of the author.
I'm actually quite upset, because I'm supporting Ubuntu, WordPress and other GPL projects.
Ordinary only the original author can release something the the public domain –
By removing the copyright notice, it doesn't get "Open Source" in any way.

( Dogen's Instructions for the Cook – XXXIII)
As we close this year 2009 … all is truly but a constant beginning, ever new …
In these final passages, Master Dogen reminds us to be joyful, to take care of our responsibilities like a parent for a child, and to embody "Great Mind and Vast Heart" …
For the first, he writes (as we saw yesterday)
Now we have the good fortune to be born as human beings … Let us be joyous.
For "Mother Mind" he writes …
So-called[motherly heart] is the spirit of fathers and mothers. … Withoutregard for their own poverty or wealth, [parents] earnestly turn their thoughtstoward raising their child. Without regard for whether they themselves are coldor hot, they shade the child or cover the child.
And for "Great Mind, Vast Heart", he states [in a good reminder for the turning year],
This vast heart … does not follow the sounds of spring or try to nest in a spring garden; it does not darken with the colours of autumn. See the changes of the seasons as all one movement, [all] in relation to each other within a view which includes both."
And so, from tomorrow, January 1st, we depart Beliefnet and move our home for this daily "Sit-a-long with Jundo" Zazen netcast to SHAMBHALA SUNSPACE, the webpage of the Shambhala Sun and Buddhadharma magazines.
… and wish them … and everyone … a most content and peaceful 2010.
This life we live is a life of rejoicing, this body a body of joy which can be used to present offerings to the Three Jewels. It arises through the merits of eons and using it thus its merit extends endlessly. I hope that you will work and cook in this way, using this body which is the fruition of thousands of lifetimes and births to create limitless benefit for numberless beings. To understand this opportunity is a joyous heart because even if you had been born a ruler of the world the merit of your actions would merely disperse like foam, like sparks.
A "motherly heart" is a heart which maintains the Three Jewels as a parent cares for a child. A parent raises a child with deep love, regardless of poverty or difficulties. Their hearts cannot be understood by another; only a parent can understand it. A parent protects their child from heat or cold before worrying about whether they themselves are hot or cold. This kind of care can only be understood by those who have given rise to it and realized only by those who practice it. This, brought to its fullest, is how you must care for water and rice, as though they were your own children.
The Great Master Sakyamuni offered to us the final twenty years of his own lifetime to protect us through these days of decline. What is this other than the exertion of this "parental heart"? The Thus Come One did not do this hoping to get something out of it but sheerly out of munificence.
"Vast heart" [or "Great Mind"] is like a great expanse of ocean or a towering mountain. It views everything from the most inclusive and broadest perspective. This vast heart does not regard a gram as too light or five kilos as too heavy. It does not follow the sounds of spring or try to nest in a spring garden; it does not darken with the colours of autumn. See the changes of the seasons as all one movement, understand light and heavy in relation to each other within a view which includes both. When you write or study the character "vast," this is how you should understand its meaning.
If the tenzo at Jiashan had not thus studied the word "vast," he could not have woken up Elder Fu by laughing at him [from a story in which a monk'slaughter spurred
All of these and other great masters through the ages have studied the meaning of "vast" or "great" not only though the word for it but through all of the events and activities of their lives. Thus they lived as a great shout of freedom through presenting the Great Matter, penetrating the Great Question, training great disciples and in this way bringing it all forth to us.
The abbot, senior officers and staff, and all monks should always maintain these three hearts or understandings.

( Dogen's Instructions for the Cook – XXXII)
This world and life into which we find we were born is far from perfect, often difficult … yet how fortunate we are that this life is as it is … neither heaven nor hell (though we can help make it a little bit of each) … but a place to care, to practice, to live …
Ingeneral, the various stewards and prefects, including the cook, should maintaina joyful mind, [a motherly heart], and a great [and vast] mind whenever they performrituals or engage in work.
So-calledjoyful mind is the spirit of happiness. You should consider that if you wereborn in a heaven, you would be attached to pleasures without cease and wouldnot be able to arouse the thought of enlightenment. Practice would not befeasible. Even less would you be able to prepare meals as offerings to thethree jewels [Buddha, Dharma and Sangha]! Among the myriad dharmas, the mostrevered and precious are the three jewels. The most superior things are thethree jewels. Indra cannot compare. A wheel-turning king does not equal them.The Rules of Purity says, "Revered by the world, it is an excellent spaceoutside [worldly] things; pure and detached, the assembly of monks isbest." Now we have the good fortune to be born as human beings and toprepare the food that these three jewels receive and use. Is this not of greatkarmic significance? We should thus be very happy.
Again,you should consider that if you were born into the realms of hell, hungryghosts, animals, anti-gods, and the like, or born in circumstances where yousuffered from one of the eight difficulties [such as being born in a place ortime where the Dharma is not practiced or taught, being born without thefaculties that would allow us to practice or locked into the views of socialconventions], even if you sought to cover yourself in the power of the sangha,your hands would naturally be unable to prepare pure meals as offerings to thethree jewels. Relying on that painful physical form you would receive pain andbe bound in body and mind. Now, in this life, you have already prepared thosemeals. How happy a birth! How happy a body! It is the good karmic result ofkalpas vast and great. It is merit that cannot decay. When you prepare food andcook it you should do so with the aspiration of taking tens of thousands ofbirths and concentrating them into this one day, this one time, that you may beable to bind together in good karmic result the bodies of millions of [past]births. A mind that contemplates and understands things in this way is a joyfulmind. Truly, even if one takes on the body of a wheel-turning holy king, if onedoes not prepare meals as offerings to the three jewels, in the end it has nobenefit. It is only of the nature of water, froth, bubbles, or flames.

( Dogen's Instructions for the Cook – XXXI)
When I observedaccomplished people in the past who held the position of cook, their personalqualities were naturally in accord with their official roles. The Great [TeacherGuishan Lingyou (771-853)] awakened to the way when he was a cook. Dongshan's [famoussaying] "Three pounds of hemp" [in response to the question, "What isBuddha"] was also when he was a cook. If there is a matter that can be valued,you should value the matter of awakening to the way. If there is a time thatcan be valued, surely you should value the time of awakening to the way! Theresult of cherishing that matter and being addicted to the way is attestedespecially by the [story of] "grasping sand and making a jewel" [atraditional story with a meaning such as "whatever is available at hand can beturned into something wonderful]. We can often see the effect of making animage [of the Buddha] and worshipping [before it]. The position of cook issimilar [in its karmic results], but even more so. Its name is the same [as inthe past]. If the cook is someone who can transmit its character and itspractice, how could its beauty and its fulfillment fail to appear?

Governance Models That Don't Scale: The World According to Charles T. Munger and Jean Jacques Rousseau
Can you name five benign dictators who have ruled successfully for any meaningful period of time (non-fiction)? Can you name five successful, long serving CEO's (excluding Warren Buffett) whose governance histories are free of the "high-beta" associated with outliers such as Larry Ellison and Steve Jobs?
It's not easy. Why? Because enlightened dictators and their corporate CEO equivalents are very, very rare; maintaining immunity to the intoxicating effects of power challenges basic human nature.
It is in this context that I found "Corporate Governance According to Charles T. Munger", a brief article from the Stanford Closer Look Series, thought provoking if not practical. The article was written by David Larker, Director of the Corporate Governance Research Program at the Stanford Graduate School of business, and Brian Tayan, a researcher with Stanford's Corporate Governance Research Program.
The authors summarize and explain Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charles T. Munger's unorthodox view of a model for corporate governance. According to the article, Munger believes that corporations and their boards should empower their CEO's more, not less. Munger's effective CEO, modeled, of course, on Warren Buffet, should be unencumbered by rigid process and freed of unnecessary, excessive checks and balances. Why? So that the CEO can lead effectively. How? In Munger's construct, CEO's police themselves, holding themselves accountable to their loosely overseeing directors by binding themselves to a trust based system. And corporate directors should reward these CEO's for creating shareholder value, while deliberately underpaying them in terms of their annual salary-based cash compensation. According to Munger, and as quoted in the article:
"Good character is very efficient. If you can trust people, your system can be way simpler. There's enormous efficiency in good character and dis-efficiency in bad character … We want very good leaders who have a lot of power, and we want to delegate a lot of power to those leaders…The highest form that civilization can reach is a seamless web of deserved trust—not much procedure, just totally reliable people correctly trusting one another."
I agree with Mr. Munger completely, while asking the same questions raised by the authors at the end of this article:
"The trust-based systems that Munger refers to tend to be founder-led organizations. How much of their success is attributed to the managerial and leadership ability of the founder, and how much to the culture that he or she has created? Can these be separated? How can such a company ensure that the culture will continue after the founder's eventual succession?"
Unfortunately, and founders notwithstanding, the collective global capitalist experience since private property rights were invented and enforced has shown that there aren't enough of those people on this planet.
For a specific cautionary example, I am reminded of Tyco International and its former CEO, Dennis Kozlowski. Kozlowski was recently paroled, almost twelve years after his indictment, ultimate conviction, and after serving over eight years in Attica, for a $134 million corporate fraud (this amount represents a small fraction of the losses suffered by public shareholders). The disgraced former directors of Tyco International (vintage 1999), seemingly highly trustworthy and accomplished men and women, also come to mind. This group, along with the enterprise builders at Enron, Worldcom, and Adelphia, to name just a few, are at the top of my list of examples of poor corporate stewardship and help explain why Mr. Munger's model for corporate governance is still-born.
But I did say the article was thought provoking, as Charles Munger's corporate governance philosophy, in my view, evokes Jean Jacques Rousseau's concept of the Lawgiver. Author Alex Scott summarizes Rousseau's core thesis from the Social contract succinctly in this excerpt from his book, The Conditions of Knowledge: Reviews of 100 Great Works of Philosophy :
"The general will always desires the common good, says Rousseau, but it may not always choose correctly between what is advantageous or disadvantageous for promoting social harmony and cooperation, because it may be influenced by particular groups of individuals who are concerned with promoting their own private interests. Thus, the general will may need to be guided by the judgment of an individual who is concerned only with the public interest and who can explain to the body politic how to promote justice and equal citizenship. This individual is the "lawgiver" (le législateur). The lawgiver is guided by sublime reason and by a concern for the common good, and he is an individual whose enlightened judgment can determine the principles of justice and utility which are best suited to society."
I agree! Let's find that individual and give him (or her) the keys to the public policy car! Munger's corporate lawgiver, the enlightened CEO, is also an admirable model worth aspiring to emulate.
As with Rousseau's 1762 treatise, history has sadly shown us that we lack sufficient incorruptible raw material across the entire history of mankind to render the "lawgiver" experiment successfully scalable, be it in public government or corporate governance.
The unbridled exercise of power is the ultimate intoxicant, and very few humans can responsibly limit the flow of that drug, especially not when they have are given the opportunity to administer it to themselves.

WFP has warned that millions of displaced Sudanese in Darfur are to face their third month of ration cuts as violence and attacks on trucking convoys continue to disrupt the flow of food assistance to the region.
WFP has warned that millions of displaced Sudanese in Darfur are to face their third month of ration cuts as violence and attacks on trucking convoys continue to disrupt the flow of food assistance to the region.
WFP joined sister humanitarian agencies in Sudan on Sunday calling for an urgent end to bandit attacks on trucks that have forced it to drastically reduce rations for millions of people in need in Darfur, and for more frequent escorts for truck convoys.
Some 2.7 million people will soon face their third month of a 42 per cent ration cut at the same time as the hunger gap looms – the difficult months from now until harvest in October. WFP expects as many as 3.6 million people could need food assistance during the hunger gap, but the effects of hijackings and insecurity on deliveries mean there is no end in sight to lower rations.
"In July, we will be forced to maintain the reduced ration because we already project that there won't be enough food in our Darfur warehouses," said WFP representative in Sudan Kenro Oshidari.
"Since January, there have been 81 hijackings of our trucks. We have had two drivers killed, 41 drivers are missing and we have 55 trucks missing. Just today, there were four attacks on our WFP trucks. Two were attacked on the way between Kutum and ElFasher, and two enroute from Geneina to Mornei," Oshidari told journalists on June 22.
Oshidari called on all parties to stop the banditry and respect humanitarian deliveries, and appealed to the Government to provide more regular security escorts for convoys, and to allow our transporters to travel without escorts if they wished.

Kenro Oshidari, WFP representative in Sudan
"Our concern is that two months ago, the government promised to increase the frequency of escorts for our truck convoys to once every 48 hours. While I totally trust their goodwill on this, the implementation has been delayed, and so since May, we have been forced to resort to ration cuts. And if we don't improve deliveries, we can't restore the full ration," Oshidari said.
Darfur needs a massive 44,000 metric tons of food assistance every month. With each truck carrying an average of 20 metric tons, this calls for at least 2000 truck trips per month in and out of the remote region.
Oshidari said the ration cuts were a last resort. "If we had any other alternative, we'd take it, but we don't," he said. "But we're very worried about the effects of the reduced rations, particularly for children, who are most at risk of malnutrition."
At a press briefing on Sunday, WFP and seven other humanitarian agencies in Sudan issued a joint statement, warning that a limited time remained to safeguard against an increasingly precarious situation.
The agencies – the International Organization for Migration (IOM); Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA); United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF); United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO); United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR); United Nations Joint Logistics Centre (UNJLC); World Food Programme (WFP); and the World Health Organization (WHO) –said underlying the potential crisis is the continued insecurity in the region, which led to an additional 180,000 people being displaced from their homes in the first five months of 2008.
In addition, a substantially lower cereal harvest in Darfur in 2007, and a particular shortfall in South Darfur – combined with rising food prices – was of great concern. If crops could be cultivated due to fighting and displacement, many households would become even more vulnerable.
The agencies said overstretched water and sanitation services meant diseases such as diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections would have an even greater impact in the rainy season, and would be made worse if people were weakened by a shortage of food.
The agencies said it was essential that humanitarian workers had safe access to all communities to monitor, assess and alleviate the impact of these factors. And, monitoring could only succeed if aid agencies were able to carry out and release the results of surveys and assessments in a timely manner and without restrictions.
The UN agencies called for a series of immediate actions to address concerns which they and the Government shared:
• The Government of Sudan should implement its stated commitment to ensure that food convoys with escorts are organized a minimum every 48 hours on main routes into Darfur. However, in order to return the food ration to normal levels, the authorities must permit food relief trucks to travel into Darfur every day, regardless of whether escorts are in place or not.
• All armed groups operating in Darfur who bear responsibility for attacks on humanitarians — including signatories and non-signatories to the Darfur Peace Agreement — must cease the hijacking of vehicles and assets and demonstrate full respect for International Humanitarian Law and principles.
• The Government of Sudan must urgently enact its agreement to release the results of technically cleared humanitarian surveys — including nutritional and crop surveys — and minimize delays in publishing future survey findings.
• The deployment of UNAMID troops needs to be accelerated to provide protection of civilians and humanitarian workers and assets.
• Ultimately, there must be a negotiated settlement to the Darfur crisis which allows internally displaced people (IDPs) to return home voluntarily and in safety, and enables communities to re-establish their lives and livelihoods. In the interim, IDPs should continue to have access to camps and protection against forced or involuntary return.
The agencies warned that a failure to respond now will have serious repercussions on the wellbeing and development of the people of Darfur — not just during the coming days and months but in the longer-term.
