North Korea appears to be in the process of restarting a nuclear reactor used to produce weapons-grade plutonium, five years after shutting the facility down as part of international disarmament efforts.
New satellite imagery appears to reveal that the 5-megawatt reactor at Yongbyon, which experts believe can produce enough plutonium for one to two bombs a year, shows signs of being operational.
Analysts Nick Hansen and Jeffrey Lewis, writing for the website 38 North, say the satellites show:
"[W]hite steam rising from a building near the reactor hall. The building in question houses the gas-graphite reactor's steam turbines and electric generators."
North Korea blew up the cooling tower on the reactor in 2008 as part of an international agreement to dismantle its nuclear program. But in April, amid growing tensions between North Korea, South Korea and the United States, Pyongyang announced it would restart the reactor.
"This is the reactor that essentially produced the material to build North Korea's nuclear weapons in the past," Joel Wit, a senior fellow with the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University, tells NPR's Geoff Brumfiel.
"Restarting the reactor means that over time they will be able to produce more material for more bombs," Wit says.
He said that sometime in July, North Korea completed construction of a new cooling system to make the reactor operational.
Now, he says, "They are either in the process of restarting or nearing operation."
As The Associated Press reports:
"When North Korea announced its plans in April, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters that restarting the plutonium reactor would be 'extremely alarming' but added: 'There's a long way to go between a stated intention and actually being able to pull it off.' "

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letter to a Young Poet, 1934

Easy and elegant
Add charming touches of green to your home with easy-to-grow terrariums. Surrounded by glass, plants almost go on autopilot—they'll get the moisture they need even in dry rooms. Click through the next slides to get some inspiration for your terrarium, and then see step-by-step instructions for getting started on slides 9 and 10.
You can create a terrarium with inexpensive, everyday objects, such as a vase sealed with a glass plate (left). In our vase: pretty white-bordered variegated Dizygotheca in the middle, pale green Selaginella emmeliana on the right, a mound of Selaginella apoda at the bottom and button fern in the back left.
Tall beauty
An old-fashioned dome makes a perfect container for tall plants. This group of insectivorous plants — 'Scarlet Belle' pitcher plant, purple-blooming Mexican butterwort and Venus fly trap — grows in sphagnum moss. The raised dome allows insects to enter.
Miniature woodland
An antique terrarium becomes a stage for a miniature woodland garden, arbor and all. Ours has flowering Cape primrose, rabbit's-foot fern, golden club moss, black and dwarf mondo grasses, variegated ivy, angel's tears and Kenilworth ivy.
Victorian display
A Victorian cake stand with cloche creates old-fashioned appeal. Inside: a blooming jewel orchid, arrow-leaf ferns and small star-shape Cryptanthus 'Chocolate Stars'. Moss stabilizes and hides the soil and roots.
Glass acts
Everyday containers such as carafes and vases can make ideal terrariums. Inside(left, from left): a miniature guzmania bromeliad; maidenhair fern and selaginella; and a mix of selaginellas, button fern and variegated Dizygotheca.
Windowsill herbs
Vintage mason jars make great containers for a kitchen herbarium. Almost any herb can be started from seed in a mason jar. Chive, thyme and rosemary are excellent choices. When they outgrow their space, cut herbs as needed, or transplant them into a larger container or into the garden.
Flower garden
Miniature African violets (Saintpaulia) put on quite a show in small containers, such as apothecary jars and drinking glasses with mix-and-match lids. The violets' dainty size and bright, velvety colors make them glow like jewels under glass. Start with a single rooted cutting, and transplant your African violet before the leaves touch the sides of the container.
Into the woods
A vintage nickel barber's case makes an eye-catching terrarium. Boston ferns, variegated ivy (Hedera) and Norfolk Island pines create a woodland scene.
Create a terrarium: First steps
1. Select plants for your terrarium. Dwarf and slow-growing plants that thrive in warm, moist air work best. Plants with different heights, shapes and textures add interest.
2. Gather ornamental accessories. Small pebbles can resemble rocks and boulders; small branches and moss give your garden a natural look.
3. Choose a clear container large enough to hold the plants you want to enclose. Wash it thoroughly.
4. Put down a layer of drainage material, such as pea gravel. Depending on the size of your container, you'll need about a half-inch to 3 inches of pea gravel.
5. Sprinkle with fine charcoal (generally available at garden centers), which absorbs gasses and chemicals.
6. Layer 2 to 6 inches of a sterile peat-based potting mix over the base.
Create a terrarium: Add plants
See previous slide for steps 1 to 6.
7. Gently tap plants out of their pots. Trim rampant roots to encourage plants to grow more slowly and to more easily fit into the shallow, restricted root zone in the container.
8. Place plants in holes and press soil gently around the roots. Use long-handled tools if necessary to avoid damaging other plants. Start in the middle and work outward.
9. Add finishing touches such as moss and rocks.
10. Mist with water to settle the roots and clean the plant. The soil should be moist but not soggy. Cover your terrarium. (You can also leave your terrarium open, but it will need more frequent misting.)
Caring for your terrarium
Light: Put your terrarium where it will get enough light to satisfy the plants' needs, but keep it out of direct sun, which will overheat the garden.
Water: Check moisture levels periodically, and mist if your terrarium needs water. Plants should not dry out, but they also shouldn't be overwatered. If spots of mold or mildew appear, your garden has too much moisture; remove or partially open the lid for two or three days to improve air circulation.
Pruning: Prune plants to keep them from overgrowing their neighbors. Remove dead plants and plant parts as they appear.
Pictured: Button fern, aluminum plant, Boston fern, asparagus fern and false African violet provide a variety of leaf textures and colors in this large Wardian case.

Confidence: high confidence medium confidence low confidence
? – known gap: despite the lack of a good candidate for this step, this organism (or a related organism) performs the pathway
GapMind searches the predicted proteins for candidates by using ublast (a fast alternative to protein BLAST) to find similarities to characterized proteins or by using HMMer to find similarities to enzyme models (usually from TIGRFams). For alignments to characterized proteins (from ublast), scores of 44 bits correspond to an expectation value (E) of about 0.001.
Or cluster all characterized aroE proteins
This GapMind analysis is from Apr 09 2024. The underlying query database was built on Apr 09 2024.
Each pathway is defined by a set of rules based on individual steps or genes. Candidates for each step are identified by using ublast (a fast alternative to protein BLAST) against a database of manually-curated proteins (most of which are experimentally characterized) or by using HMMer with enzyme models (usually from TIGRFam). Ublast hits may be split across two different proteins.
A candidate for a step is "high confidence" if either:
Otherwise, a candidate is "medium confidence" if either:
Other blast hits with at least 50% coverage are "low confidence."
Steps with no high- or medium-confidence candidates may be considered "gaps." For the typical bacterium that can make all 20 amino acids, there are 1-2 gaps in amino acid biosynthesis pathways. For diverse bacteria and archaea that can utilize a carbon source, there is a complete high-confidence catabolic pathway (including a transporter) just 38% of the time, and there is a complete medium-confidence pathway 63% of the time. Gaps may be due to:
GapMind relies on the predicted proteins in the genome and does not search the six-frame translation. In most cases, you can search the six-frame translation by clicking on links to Curated BLAST for each step definition (in the per-step page).

Original Trinity Hymnal, #186
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down:
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Pediatric Dentist Near Me
The American Dental Association recommends all patients to schedule routine six-month check-up exams. This is particularly important for growing children.
At your visit, we will screen your child's mouth for tooth decay and gum disease. Regular professional dental cleanings are essential for a healthy mouth. During your child's dental cleaning, we will gently remove any buildup of plaque or tartar to help prevent tooth decay.
During this visit, our team will spend time discussing proper brushing technique and oral hygiene with your child. Depending on your child's age, we may also teach them about the correct use of floss and mouthwash. Our team members are friendly, patient, and great with kids, and will answer every question.
We may recommend fluoride be applied to the teeth as part of your child's treatment. Topical fluoride is used to strengthen enamel and make teeth more resistant to tooth decay.
Sealants are highly effective in preventing tooth decay and cavities on your molars and premolars. These areas are the most susceptible to cavities due to the anatomized grooves.
Typically, children get sealants on their permanent molars and premolars as soon as these teeth come in. These sealants can protect the teeth through the cavity-prone years of ages 6 to 14. However, adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
The process of applying sealants is easy and fast. The application steps are as follows:
- Your child's teeth are thoroughly cleaned
- The teeth are dried
- A liquid solution is put on the chewing surfaces of the teeth
- The solution is cured using a special curing light
Sealants act as a barrier and protect the enamel from plaque and acids. They may last for several years before a reapplication is needed. As long as the sealant remains intact, the tooth surface will be protected from decay.
Sealants are not a substitute for brushing your teeth. It is important to maintain proper oral hygiene and keep up with professional dental cleanings. Also, sealants do not protect between the teeth, so it is essential to continue to floss daily.
Without proper dental care, children are susceptible to oral decay. Healthy smiles should not stop at our dental office. Our experienced and caring team will educate you and your child on how to make good food choices and how to properly brush and floss at home.
Our expert dentist and knowledgeable team have the experience and qualifications to care for your child's teeth, gums and mouth throughout various stages of childhood. For more information or to request an appointment, contact our office today.

Solar Cookers International Network (SCInet) was an informal alliance of NGOs, businesses, educational institutions, and manufacturers in over 120 countries. Its purpose was to improve health, economics, societies and environments through collective actions to spread solar cooking, water pasteurization and food processing, especially to regions of greatest need. The US NGO Solar Cookers International sponsored the Network and acted as its secretariat. SCInet has now been replaced by the Solar Cookers International Association.
- See Solar Cookers International Association.Solar Cookers International Association
Network Activities
Activities include collective advocacy, technology and networking. Organizations focusing on solar cookers, pasteurizers and food processers have access to policy makers through Solar Cookers International's consultative status with United Nations agencies. Volunteer United Nations representatives educate policy makers and contribute to policies formation. These open doors for SCInet members to advocate and work with agencies in their country offices. These agencies include:
- World Health Organization (WHO), for smoke and water-borne diseases reduction.
- High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), to relieve extreme hardships in fuel-scarce, dangerous areas, Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC) for reduced CO2 and carbon particulates.
- Commission for Sustainable Development (CSD)
Many Network members agree to be listed for advocacy on behalf of solar cooking, and provide demonstrations, training and resources at conferences, public venues and for new groups.
Current efforts include:
- Updating standards for evaluating solar cookers performance for diverse consumer needs. Leading this is Prof. Ajay Chandak at Promoters and Researchers in Non-Conventional Energy (PRINCE) in India.
- Upscaling capacities to produce, distribute, introduce and maintain services to serve worldwide needs at greater capacity.
- Members share information through their web pages in this wiki website.
- Occasional conferences allow discussions on ways to increase marketing and visibility of our simple solutions. The latest conference was the SCI Regional Convention - North America 2015. The year before the SCInet Solar Cooking Convention 2014 was held. A very large conference, the Solar Cookers and Food Processing International Conference was in Spain in 2006. See Conferences.
- Online discussion groups allow association members to freely share ideas and experiences. Each section works independently, among its interested participants.
- Solar Cookers International's Solar Cooker Review includes news sent by promoters.
- Occasional E-News alerts solar cookers leaders to opportunities to collaborate.

- June 2013: Solar Cookers International to dedicate more resources to renamed Solar Cookers International Network - Since its founding in 2006, the Solar Cookers International Network has continued to expand. Network members now include over 500 NGOs, individuals, and manufacturers working in the field to advance the cause of solar cooking. At the same time, the Network's wiki resources has grown to become an unparalleled resource for solar cooking knowledge worldwide. With contributions of articles and photos from Network members and monetary and administrative support from Solar Cookers International (SCI), this wiki now contains nearly 2000 articles, covering all aspects of solar cooking design and promotion. Today SCI renews its commitment to the Solar Cookers International Network and its corresponding Wiki. SCI will direct more resources toward both. In the near future, SCI will ask all Network members to give us their feedback to help us prioritize our efforts to assist in areas of greatest need. Read the "Letter from the Executive Director" in the June 2013 issue of Solar Cooker Review for more information about SCI's Strategic Plan for 2013-2018. To communicate SCI's renewed and expanded commitment to the Network, starting today, June 2, 2013 the name of the Network and Wiki will change, but not their substance. The Solar Cookers International Network will become the Solar Cookers International Network (SCInet); the Solar Cookers International Network Wiki will become the Solar Cookers International Network Wiki.SCI welcomes your input.

This is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Michel Martin. Coming up, another family is grieving in Chicago after another young person was killed by gun violence this past weekend. Today we're going to bring you some very blunt, powerful perspectives from young people affected by the violence that you might not have heard. This from our colleagues with the public radio program "This American Life." And that's coming up later in the program.
First, though, we are going to take a look at a program that has become a vital part of most American's retirement plans. It affects almost 58 million Americans this year. I'm talking about Social Security. It used to be called the third rail of American politics. No leader could propose major changes to the program without risking a backlash.
But now as the Congress faces the dramatic budget cuts known as the sequester, more and more lawmakers are talking about trimming Social Security benefits or making other significant changes. And in part, that's because Social Security is facing budget problems of its own. According to the board of trustees that oversees Social Security, the trust fund that covers old age and survivors' insurance as well as disabilities insurance will be tapped out by the year 2033.
One person with a unique perspective on this and the newfound freedom to talk about it, is Michael Astrue. He spent six years as the commissioner for Social Security before recently stepping down. And he's with us now from member station WBUR. Welcome. Thank you so much for joining us. Is it congratulations on your retirement?
MICHAEL ASTRUE: Oh, I think so. And thank you for inviting me.
MARTIN: You ended your work at the Social Security Administration earlier this month, and you wasted no time in speaking out about the way political leaders treat the program. You said, quote, "I think it's the most successful domestic program in the history of the United States government and it's fraying because of inattention to its problems. And I think it's a shame that Washington cannot get its act together to look at Social Security in detail, in isolation, and say what do we need to do?" unquote.
So why is it that with a program that's so central to the lives of many Americans - I mean, you point out - many people have pointed out that a majority of Americans get the majority of their retirement income from Social Security, but it is the subject of this kind of inattention. You'd think it would be the opposite.
ASTRUE: Well, I think it's a function of a dysfunctional Congress. I think you look at how all the significant issues have been handled, certainly in the last six years that I was in Washington, very little of substance got done, even when they announced so-called agreements. I mean, in 2007 they announced an agreement on an immigration bill and six years later we're talking about it as if none of that was ever theoretically agreed to six years ago
You look at sequestration, and while personally I think that we do have a spending problem and Washington should be making cuts, these across the board cuts are an extremely dumb way to make those cuts, in my opinion. And I think that's what the Congress and the president thought. They thought that no one would allow sequestration to kick in, and yet here we are.
So I guess my frustration is Congress doesn't legislate in the traditional way anymore. The hearings are show for the media. They're not tied to legislation anymore. I think I testified, I think, 20 times over six years and none of it was tied even to a reasonable effort to get legislation passed. So I think part of the reason why we're where we are, is that Congress, aside from being afraid of the issue, generally, is just not legislating.
Just does not have processes anymore that it accepts that allow it to deal with hard issues.
MARTIN: You mentioned that you testified a number of times before the congress.
ASTRUE: Right.
MARTIN: Is there one thing that you would like to say now that you couldn't say then?
ASTRUE: I think I said it in the AP article that ran the day after I left, which is this is a great program. It needs to adapt with the times. Last time there was a truly major overhaul was 30 years ago. And no program is engraved in stone, no matter how great it is. And I think that the Congress owes it to the American people to look at Social Security in isolation and say what more do we want to pay, if any?
What benefits do we want to cut, if any? But right now, if we do nothing, not only are benefits automatically reduced across the board for retirees 20 years from now, we're only about three years away from automatic sizeable reductions in payments to disability beneficiaries. And these issues are solvable. They're probably more solvable than health care issues but they are still hard.
And we need to have that discussion. We need to have that dialogue. And the fact that there's been literally no serious conversation in the congress about fixing Social Security in the six years I was commissioner is a sad, sad thing.
MARTIN: Is there one thing you would want the public to get about Social Security, that you think, perhaps, they don't now get?
ASTRUE: Sure. I think that there are two things, if I may. I mean, one is that there is this connection between payments and benefits. Everybody wants more benefits, but it's a social insurance program. People are going to have to pay for it. And in particular, I think for most reform proposals people are suggesting that current beneficiaries be left relatively in tact. And I'm for that.
But, on the other hand, what that means is the burden of taxation will fall on the younger generation, and they really have to be active participants in terms of how much they're willing to pay for the benefits they're going to get down the road. And I see, you know, no discussion of that happening, whatsoever.
MARTIN: You've only recently stepped down from the Social Security Administration. Is there anything that you miss? Or is there anything you particularly don't miss now that you've left?
ASTRUE: Well, I think what I miss the most are the people of the agency. Unlike other government agencies, almost everybody at Social Security is a lifer. And they're very talented, they're very dedicated. And so when you leave you know that you're not going to have, you know, that experience again. And that's sad.
MARTIN: Anything you particularly don't miss?
ASTRUE: Sure. I mean, I don't miss having everything I say being cleared by a 28-year-old at OMB. And I'm not critical of OMB for that. Don't get me wrong. I mean, I think the president needs to have some consistency of message. But it does get very frustrating. And particularly when you're trying to say something important and it's neutered down to a platitude. I always found it difficult to go out and just voice the platitudes.
So, you know, getting my First Amendment rights back and being able to say what I think, you know, you don't miss that until you've given it up. And I guess, you know, when you've given it up you appreciate it more when you get it back. So.
MARTIN: We are talking with Michael Astrue. He is the former commissioner of the Social Security Administration. He's just stepped down from his post, just recently. And in the time that we have left, I wanted to talk about your other life. It has only recently been revealed that you are actually a very accomplished poet. That you have been publishing under the pseudonym A. M. Juster for a number of years.
It's hard to describe, like, within the world of poetry you've actually been quite well recognized. I just - I'm dying to know why you kept it secret for all those years. And you really did.
ASTRUE: Sure.
MARTIN: Secret is not quite right, right? I mean, because you're a published poet, but you kept your worlds very separate.
ASTRUE: I kept my worlds very separate and I think when I first started thinking about trying to publish poetry I realized that the business and government worlds that I was functioning in, in a fairly high level, didn't really respect people that engaged in the arts. And likewise, in artistic communities, people that have substantial jobs outside those artistic communities tend to be looked at with suspicion.
And so I explained it to one of my friends, the great local poet XJ Kennedy, is I didn't want to be a novelty act. You know, I wanted to sort of stand, particularly in the literary world, on my own merits. And I was pretty comfortable keeping it separate and was rather annoyed in 2010 when I was first outed in the trade press for Social Security.
And then later there was a very flattering article in First Things that went into a lot more detail, which made me feel a little better about it because the article was so nice. But I think down deep I still wish that I'd been able to keep my life separate.
MARTIN: I can understand that, given particularly how very personal and intimate some of your images are. I mean I'm thinking about the wonderful sonnet "Cancer Prayer."
ASTRUE: Yes.
MARTIN: But I'm, you know, going to ask - would you be kind enough to share one of your poems with us?
ASTRUE: Well, since you mentioned "Cancer Prayer," which also is the one that people seem to request the most, let me try that. "Cancer Prayer." Dear Lord, please flood her nerves with sedatives and keep her strong enough to crack a smile so disbelieving friends and relatives can temporarily sustain denial. Please smite that intern in oncology who craves approval from department heads. Please ease her urge to vomit. Let there be kind but flirtatious men in nearby beds. Given her hair, consider amnesty for sense of vanity. Make mirrors vanish. Surround her with forgiving family and nurses not too numb to cry. Please banish trite consolations. Take her in one swift and gentle motion as your final gift.
MARTIN: Wow. That is beautiful and so up-to-the-minute and so real. Before we let you go, I'm going to ask a question that women are often asked because I do note that...
ASTRUE: Uh-oh.
MARTIN: ...you've been married - well, you've been married for 33 years. Right?
ASTRUE: Yes, yes.
MARTIN: You've served at the very highest levels of government. You've raised two children with your wife.
ASTRUE: Right.
MARTIN: And along with your public work, you've published five books, working on a sixth, a number of which have won some prestigious awards. One was the Richard Wilbur Award. And so I just want to ask, how did you manage it all?
ASTRUE: Well, I think it's finding the wasted time. You know, in the old days when I was commuting into Cambridge, I'd be stuck in traffic and those would be moments - instead of getting irritated at the traffic, I would try to come up with another line on the poem that I was working on. Airplanes and terminals. You get stuck and at some point, particularly with a lot of the work I've done, it's confidential. You can't bring your paperwork out in terminals, so I tried to use some of those awful hours stuck, you know, between flights as an opportunity, actually, to spend some concentrated time on poetry, and it actually tended to be some of my best time because there were no other distractions.
You know, when you're home, you know, you've got your wife, you've got your children and you've got the temptations of the Internet and television and that kind of thing. You're stuck in a terminal with a piece of paper and a pencil. That's about all you can really do. At least that's all I can really do.
MARTIN: Michael Astrue is the former commissioner of the Social Security Administration. He is also, as we just heard, an accomplished poet and he was kind enough to join us from member station WBUR in Boston.
Michael Astrue, thank you so much for speaking with us.
ASTRUE: Oh, no. Thank you.
MARTIN: Thank you for your service and thank you for your poetry.
ASTRUE: Well, thank you for having me on. I'm very grateful. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Lottie Found the Sheep Halter! (taken 5/1/08)
Sometimes it's hard to know how much to tell you about what happens around here. When you share your life with dozens of animals out in the wilderness (or anywhere for that matter), bad things inevitably happen. I don't like to dwell on the losses and the hardships, but I don't want to completely gloss over them either.
I know many you visit my blog because you're interested in what country life is really like, and while we certainly have more than our fair share of beautiful scenery, adorable animals, and laugh out loud moments (not to mention fabulous food), we by no means lead a perfect storybook existence out here.
Farm life is amazing, but it can also be heartbreaking—and frustrating as hell. I've been meaning to catch you up on some of what's been going on over the past year, and as I was tromping around doing morning chores in the sleet, I decided what better time than during a sleet/ice pellet/snowstorm.
Lots more below. . .
Darla in the Kitchen Garden
Last April, I told you about the pair of coyotes that had killed one of our sheep out in the hayfield (and shared photos of a stunning little screech owl). I mentioned that the killing hadn't stopped, but I never wrote any more about it. But what happened was that over the next seven months we lost 11 more sheep to the coyotes, including sweet little Darla, who somehow injured both her front legs the summer before and lived in the kitchen garden until she was healed up and walking just fine.
They got Emma, our biggest and best looking ewe lamb of 2008. And dear Mary, a twelve-year-old triplet who was born during my very first lambing season. I went down to the barn one morning as it was starting to snow and found her dead body in the barnyard. There was hardly anything left.
Annie with Two of Her Triplets in 2007 (one is hiding on the other side of her)
There was the 75-pound Katahdin ram lamb we'd specially picked out and purchased a month earlier with the plan to improve the parasite resistance in our flock. He was taken down in the front field near the driveway on his first day out of a pen. And four-year-old Annie, pictured above, who had been an orphaned bottle baby and was one of my favorite ewes. Born in 2004, she was the first—and easiest—'alphabet lamb' we named. (Get it? Little Orphan Annie.) Then there was the young ewe lamb that was part of a starter flock we had sold and were planning to deliver the very next day.
These coyotes were brazen. We had dogs, we had donkeys, we had the local boys letting packs of hunting hounds loose on the property to roust them out at least once a week. Annie was killed at about eight o'clock in the morning on the driveway in the creekbed between the barn and The Shack. Some of the little lambs disappeared right out of the fenced farmyard adjacent to The Shack. One afternoon I watched in horror as a coyote sneaked into a small group of sheep just a few yards from the new bakery/living quarters, but I didn't have a gun with me.
It was awful (not to mention expensive). I dreaded going outside each morning, wondering what gruesome scene I might find, hoping my lamb counts didn't come up short. But too often they did.
First Day on the Farm for these Fluffballs
In March we acquired Lottie and Marta, two inseparable and incredibly adorable Great Pyrenees/Komondor/Anatolian Shepherd livestock guard puppies, but we were told it would probably be a year before they would be able to fend off predators, let alone kill them. In fact, the puppies themselves were potential coyote victims. We borrowed Lottie and Marta's mother for a while, but unfortunately that didn't work out.
In May, we spent several thousand dollars on portable electric net fencing (which is a great invention in theory but must be moved every few days—along with water and shelter—and is generally a total pain in the butt, especially if your soil is rocky) and set it up in the front field with the sheep and the puppies inside it. To their credit—and despite the fact that the little lambs routinely escaped under the netting—we never lost any of the sheep that were out with the pups.
Lottie on Duty 5/28/08
During one week in August, three lambs disappeared near the barn, including one of only two jet black ones born last year (I do love those black sheep best). During that same week, after 400 miles and five trips to the vet, including a 10pm Saturday night visit where she was hooked up to an IV in an attempt to save her, our sweet, seemingly healthy Lottie dog died from unknown complications a week after undergoing some routine surgeries.
Playful Pups on 4/7/08
After never having been apart from her sister, Marta was sad and confused to find herself alone. I was heartbroken and couldn't stop sobbing. Our coyote fighting team was gone.
Fitting Right In: Another Water Baby!
A week later I drove over to a goat farm to look at two 4-month-old Great Pyrenees pups I'd heard through the livestock grapevine were available (which is when I met Chowder the baby goat). I wasn't very taken with the pups, but as soon as I saw their mother I wanted her. And I got her. She's a sweet and gorgeous three-year-old Great Pyrenees. Her name is Daisy, and she is awesome. She defends the farm day and night and even barks warnings at hawks who circle too close to her sheep.
Ready to Move into Greener Pastures
This is not the kind of dog you usually find for sale, and the only reason the owner was willing to part with her was because he had recently reduced his goat herd and really didn't need all nine of his dogs. After six months, I still find it hard to believe she's really ours. Her nickname is Crazy Daisy because she goes nuts (in a fun way) whenever it's time to eat. She came to us wearing a light pink collar which has stained all of her neck fur pink.
Nap Time for the Sheep, but these Happy Girls are on Guard
Marta and Daisy took to each other immediately, and because Daisy had just raised a litter of pups, she didn't mind a bit when seven-month-old Marta wanted to do things like gnaw on her ear or walk around with Daisy's tail in her mouth (which Marta still does despite the fact that she is now bigger than Daisy).
Barking at a Potential Intruder
It's fascinating to see how Marta constantly watches and learns from Daisy.
He's Totally Fallen for Her
Meanwhile, Lucky Buddy Bear is in love. He's so smitten with Daisy it's embarrassing.
Adorable but Deadly
This photo was taken not long after Daisy arrived, and I'm so tickled that it appears in the current print January/February issue of GRIT magazine in an article on livestock guard animals.
Dirty Girls, But How Can You Get Mad at Those Faces?
It still hurts to look through all the cute puppy photos of Marta and Lottie (links to lots of them are here), but I'm focusing not on what we've lost, but what we have. . .
Two glorious big white dogs who I can hear defending their farm as I type this—and no signs of coyotes in months.

© 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the fur loving foodie farm blog where we are huge supporters of animal shelters and rescue operations and urge you to please adopt a homeless cat or dog when adding a new animal member to your family. Millions of wonderful unwanted cats and dogs—including many purebreds—are put to death in shelters each year. Because Lottie, Marta, and Daisy are specialized working breeds of dogs who need to be brought up in strict environments in order to do their jobs well, we chose to buy them as puppies from nearby farmers, but they are the only animals we have ever purchased.

Anti-Records is thrilled to be releasing the soundtrack for the new Paramount Pictures / Nickelodeon Movies feature film RANGO.
From Gore Verbinski, the director of "The Pirates of the Caribbean," comes RANGO, featuring Johnny Depp in an original animated comedy-adventure that takes moviegoers for a hilarious and heartfelt walk in the Wild West. The story follows the comical, transformative journey of Rango (Depp), a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in? When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt - a lawless outpost populated by the desert's most wily and whimsical creatures - the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt . . . until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be. With a cast that includes Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winstone and Timothy Olyphant as the Spirit of the West, Rango is an exciting new twist on the classic Western legend of the outsider who saves a town - and himself in the process.
The soundtrack combines a soaring score from best-selling Academy Award® -winning composer Hans Zimmer ("The Dark Knight," "Inception," "Pirates of the Caribbean") with original songs performed by the acclaimed band Los Lobos and other artists. With driving Norteño melodies mixing with Western-inspired orchestral themes, RANGO is a soundtrack for both kids and adults alike.
A Blind Wink and GK Films Production, RANGO hits theaters nationwide on March 4th. The soundtrack will be released digitally March 1st and available in stores March 15th.
