California Man Fernando Porras poisoned wife's Rice Krispies in attempt to kill her, police say
Police say a California man slipped enough chemicals into his wife's Rice Krispies cereal last week in attempt to kill her.
Fernando Porras, 43, is being held on $1 million bail and is expected to be charged with attempted murder for filling his wife's bowl of breakfast cereal with Goof Off.
Porras's daughter Fernanda, 17, called 911 after her mother said the cereal smelled and tasted awful.
"She goes 'something's in it, something's in it,'" Fernanda told KCAL-TV. "So I went and picked it up and when I saw what was in the cup, I could smell it and I was like 'oh my gosh, this is a chemical.'"
Porras became a suspect when he excused himself to smoke a cigarette after they arrived at the hospital, and never returned.
"He walked away from the hospital," Cpl. Randy Schmidt told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
Officers tracked him down and arrested him roughly two miles away.
"It is an unusual case," Sergeant Dewayne Eldridge told KCAL. "We normally don't get cases such as this."
The victim, 51, was released Friday morning in good condition, according to police. Porras is due in court on Tuesday.
His daughter expressed shock over the incident.
"It's my dad," she told KCAL on Saturday. "It's hard not to think about, you know, why would he do it?"

World Class director at work for Frontier Blues
Related Articles
Published: 30 July 2010
One of the things emerging from the huge haul of documents released on Wikileaks this week is that Western forces don't really understand anything about the East.
They spend hundreds of billions bombing and strafing and attempting to change hearts and minds in Afghanistan but they know nothing of the people's hearts and we don't really want to.
The same is true of Iraq and perhaps, truest of all, of Iran. We know nothing of the people, its regions, its customs and its cares, but we remain suspicious, harbouring the kind of fears that point the way to future military engagement in the absence of comprehension.
In this context, a film such as Frontier Blues should be received as a godsend, a benison and a miracle.
It is set in the northern frontier of Iran, in the borderlands with Turkmenistan, where a population of Kazakhs, Turkmens and Persians live in a beautiful, strange landscape of arid flatlands and mountains, running to the Caspian Sea.
The film is rich in people looking for love, craving connection, finding a future, and is also rich in the kind of unexpected comedy that can make films great.
Meet Hassan (Abolfazl Karimi), a 28-year-old gentle soul who lives with his uncle and is a supreme loner. He has a donkey and a tape recorder. That is his life, a kind of limbo, yet somehow his search, for God knows what, is compelling and humane. The uncle, Kazem (Behzad Shahrivari), has long hair and he keeps a
Kazem's life is a small existential pot-boiler: he works all day in the clothes shop, but none of his clothes seems to fit anyone and he can't sell anything.
Then there is Alam (Mahmoud Kalteh), a young man who lives with his father. They work on a chicken farm where some of the chickens are dying; they fear they may be giving them too much feed. Alam is learning English and he hopes this will help him to marry a girl called Ana. He would like to take her to Baku, where many people are speaking English nowadays.
The final of our four stories involves a fiftysomething minstrel and his group of young friends. A photographer from Tehran is taking pictures of them in different locations. He, too, is dreamy and hopeful, though we learn his wife was abducted years before by a shepherd in a green car.
That's it. And it's everything. Writer and director Babak Jalali, who grew up around the area of Golestan where this was shot, has found a kind of poetry in these lives.
The film has stillness and liveliness at the same time, the thing all the great magicians of world cinema from Buster Keaton to Renoir to Lynne Ramsay have tried to capture. I thought of them all while watching this film, the unfolding lives caught with such humour and with such a passion for people's inner lives.
At one point, Hassan stands at the window of the chicken factory while Alam and his father eat lunch. He plays his tape recorder at the window and a whole universe of yearning seems to grow out of the little scene.
In another one, Kazem, the shopkeeper, throws the garments in his threadbare shop on to the floor. You suddenly feel you are gaining an insight not only into this character, these people, and this region, but into yourself as well. This is the hallmark of cinema at its best.
This is Jalali's first feature film and, on this evidence, he has a brilliant career ahead of him. Here is an emotional purity shorn of sentimentality, a philosophical lightness that yet brings you something essential about life.
It is a very modern film, taking Beckett and Pinter on to the steppe, bringing a sense of alienation into an ancient culture and making it real. It is, as one character says, "the world of heartbreak and tractors", and it strikes me that if we are ever to make any real steps towards that fantasy article called world peace, we shall probably have art, not governments, to thank for it.
Frontier Blues is no kind of blockbuster but trust me when I tell you it's worth a hundred A-Teams. It will warm your heart and stretch your mind at the same time, a goal that too many films no longer even see as being a goal. But if you love cinema and savour how it can operate in your life, then this is a film for you.
In this column — which comes to an end today — I have had much fun lapping up and lampooning the joys and absurdities of the new releases. But, when the cacophony and the publicity dies down, this is what we are holding out for — a film like Frontier Blues, where the little mysteries of existence bloom into life.
These four interweaving stories bring a part of the world into your head that you won't forget. Every scene is a perfectly judged fragment of Iranian reality, and it comes like a gift, blessed with empathy and compositional brilliance. By the end of this film, I felt I knew these people, knew their struggles and felt glad be reminded there are world-class directors emerging, such as Jalali, quietly going about their artistic business while the world turns and reason burns.
I'm off now, to fulfil my promise to write a play and to get on with my next novel, and to work — heaven save us! — on a film. I've enjoyed my stint being your guide to the daftness and glory of what's on at the pictures. "There's nothing too small for such a small thing as man," wrote Dr Johnson, and this is true of the cinema as much as anything.
Down a lane and by a lamppost, there's a cinema near you that isn't showing dross and sneering at the notion of quality. They are showing the beautiful smallness of life on a large screen. And this week that cinema will be showing Frontier Blues.

Anderson, Lindsay
Lindsay Anderson 1923–
Indian-born British director, film critic, and author.
Anderson is probably best known as a proponent of the British "Free Cinema" movement. Conceived at the National Film Theatre in 1956, this theory emphasized the artist's responsibility toward society and the individual. Anderson outlined the precepts of "Free Cinema" in his manifesto article, "Stand Up! Stand Up!" Britain's cinematic approach had formerly been literary; Anderson lashed out at critics and filmmakers and asked that they emphasize "the significance of the everyday" in their work. The tenets of "Free Cinema" are apparent in Anderson's documentary and feature work.
Anderson introduced subjectivity into contemporary British cinema with This Sporting Life. The film chronicles Frank Machin's fervent rebellion against a nouveau riche society. Like other Anderson characters, he attacks the petty standards that signify success.
If … is Anderson's most controversial film. The film is a condemnation of the British public school system, but Anderson did not intend it to be a 1960s view of student unrest. If … studies the relationship between authority and the search for individualism and is viewed as his most successful juxtaposition of fantasy and reality.
O Lucky Man! also fuses real and imaginary worlds, creating a dreamlike existence where disasters are reduced to media messages. This quality provides a less solid basis for his attack on the British public school system. Although the film is Anderson's broadest satire, it is considered to be his least successful.
Anderson's cinematic output is purposely limited due to his desire to portray his convictions through other art forms. Though the "Free Cinema" movement has faded, Anderson continues to create works for the theater which reflect the dreams of "everyman." According to Anderson, realism must be aesthetically pleasing as well as sociologically accurate. Anderson states that his aim is "not to interpret, nor to propagandize, but to create."
Gavin Lambert
The first time [that one sees O Dreamland], it is like a blow in the face; the second, one approaches it with a kind of eager dread. For ten minutes it assaults eye and ear with a rough-edged but sharp-centred impression of this South Coast amusement park, in which the ugliness and degradation of most of the distractions offered are symbolised by the mocking mechanical laughter of a dummy sailor. There is a working model of the execution of the "atom spies", the Rosenbergs, which reconstructs the ritual for sixpence at the door…. [Whether] the rendezvous is with violent death or a smutty peepshow, with a fire-eater or a gambling machine, a listless caged animal or an old mug of tea, reactions appear the same. People stare…. Signs of real vitality are produced by greed…. (pp. 175-76)
Everything is ugly. A papier-maché facade with a swollen, grimacing gargoyle, an immense "artistic" statue representing a coyly nude pseudo-classical figure, a "Swiss beer garden" in which local music and yodelling emanate from twitching, squeaking puppets, the steaming, slippery, greasy trays of food labelled SAUSAGES and ONIONS in the Happy Family Restaurant; feet shuffle clumsily across ground fouled with all kinds of litter, buttocks encased in grey, shapeless material spread and crease over stools at counters; and all the time the sleek charabancs pour in. It is almost too much. The nightmare is redeemed by the point of view,...
(The entire section is 394 words.)
John Berger
There is an indication of Anderson's attitude right at the beginning of Every Day Except Christmas; it is affectionately dedicated to several of the Covent Garden porters whose twelve hours of work from midnight to mid-day are the subject of the film. The key word is affectionately. Personally I would never have used such a word; for me it has too many avuncular, dutiful associations. But Anderson gives it new associations and justifies his use of it by the film that follows. He approaches his heroes (there are no villains) and so also makes us approach them, on a basis of natural equality. He neither idealises them—nor does he "study" them…. What he does is to muck in with them…. Having dissolved the problem of his relationship to his subject, and having decided to leave in abeyance the question of what the single purpose, the concluding argument of the film is going to be, he is intensely open-minded, open-eared, open-eyed to the ironies, the contrasts, the undertones, the warm, momentary, human revelations in the scenes through which he takes his cameraman….
[The] imaginative connecting power of the [opening] sequence is remarkable. It connects numerous ideas. It suggests the middle class nature of the monarchy, the present "safeness" of English life, and in contrast to that, somewhere, a memory of what a London broadcast could mean to clandestine listeners during the war, the way those who work at night begin working...

[This Sporting Life] is more about life than sport, less about kitchen sinks than the people who live near them. It is also unique: which in Britain means it risks being misunderstood by the public, torn to shreds by the critics and ridiculed by the Wardour-street hucksters.
I had expected a simple film about simple people. What Anderson has done is to make as complicated a film as Welles' Citizen Kane about people as complicated as … you or me. It is the intensity of thought that has gone into This Sporting Life that compels attention and, finally, admiration. Whether in the final analysis it achieves communication, I am not so sure….
Anderson's film is almost a perfect example of the British temperament to compromise. It has no excesses: its very balance of style and content is as disarming in its conventionality as Burton beer and Cheddar cheese. Yet the one provides as substantial a meal for the mind as the other does for the belly. In a period in world cinema when one can only be square like Hitchcock or Hawks provided the hep youngsters like Truffaut or Godard applaud you, when almost any experiment is praised by almost every critic just because it is an experiment, when even the Italian renaissance is in danger of losing communication with its audiences through sheer intellectualism, it is good to find a new director who believes that art of its very nature owes some allegiance to...

[In This Sporting Life] Lindsay Anderson is the first to free himself from what seven years ago he was the first to aim at: the direct attack, the deliberate harnessing of poetry to propaganda, which came then as a shot in the arm but which has gradually been left behind by the complexity of life itself, so that it now seems a constricting rather than a liberating attitude. Here Anderson demonstrates that his social consciousness is not, and never really was, a programme: it is the sine qua non of the existence of his world. He doesn't need to pull out and dwell on all those now fashionable aspects of English life—the North, the rainy Sunday, the tired face of the Establishment. His world simply exists within this context. Freed from the anxious guidance of a reporter/sociologist director, the characters are encouraged to discover their own feelings as they go along…. It is, simply and naturally, a film of the senses. (pp. 56-7)
[The] sudden, subjective glimpses at the beginning, counter-pointed by the tough realism of the setting, stir up our interest in the character and encourage us to look out for his interior drama. Our continuity will obviously be a loose one, drawing the "molecules" of the hero's thoughts and emotions into a slowly thickening texture. Everything that happens is going to be seen from his point of view.
Just how consistently this interior quality is present throughout the...

Lindsay Anderson thinks "If … is really a vision, something like the Writing on the Wall." We should therefore look for something prophetic, cryptic, poetic, transforming. Anderson and his skilful screenwriter David Sherwin have certainly written something on the wall, but a good deal of rubbing out's been going on and, in some really crucial places, parts of the wall seem to be missing.
No one in the cinema has ever done such an effective hatchet-job on the English Public School. In If…. Anderson and Sherwin expose its horrors wittily and savagely: the brutality, the exploitation of slave labour, the tyranny of petty restrictions, the sexual confusion and hypocrisy, the interdependence of hierarchy and conformity….
All this is well and carefully done. But there is more. The legacy of Kipling first of all. Anderson was born in India, of Scottish extraction. The legend of service with honour is for him a giant lie, since it is a life inevitably corrupted by the system of government it upholds. However benevolent it is, Anderson will have no time for paternalism. And Kipling would not recognise Mick, the hero of this new If …, as an Englishman at all…. So bitter is Anderson's vision that there is not one single member of the staff, no single senior prefect, who even remotely enjoys the comfort of a clear conscience….
The sides, in other words, are pretty neatly drawn...

[If … is a] film of considerable distinction though missed excellence…. If … is much more effective while it chronicles the faintly surreal realities of English public-school life than when it enters the domain of the surreal whole hog. The story of three musketeers of nonconformity in a tradition-sodden English school functions admirably on the level of smug authoritarianism crossed by petty defiance; but the final holocaust would have required both more imaginative writing and, in the director, the unlikely combination of a Jean Vigo and a Luis Buñuel. (p. 109)
The infiltration of the surreal is not uncleverly managed…. [Strange] strands crop up in the fabric of things, but they are not shown as one person's vision, rather as a world slowly turning psychotic.
This may sound defensible, even challenging, on paper; on the screen, it comes out untidy, indeed pretentious…. As in This Sporting Life, one gets a feeling of richly sculptured individual scenes, but a deficient sense of the whole and somewhat nebulous continuity.
Still, David Sherwin's script has many racy moments, Lindsay Anderson's direction is always textured and full of gusto, and a cast of mingled newcomers and old-timers blends into a flawlessly incongruous cross section of bankrupt paideutics. The funny or cruel scenes work very handily; it is only the apocryphal and apocalyptic material that fails to...

If … is one of the most extraordinary studies of adolescence and education in the history of motion pictures…. This film is both a commentary upon and indirect indictment of the traditions of private education in England. The elements of satire and anarchy, of poetic fantasy and melodrama, are allegorically mingled into something rare and timeless. Each of the film's eight episodes is a challenging immersion into that mysterious world of youth-in-formation, a milieu that piques the curiosity of older generations beyond measure. If … opens the doors to this private domain, explaining or intimating at will, with seeming indiscretion, the limitless angers, passions, and flights of imagination that youth encompasses. (p. 48)

If … is so full of patchy, obscure, muddled elements that we often cannot be sure if our view of the rebels matches Anderson's. The film reeks of material insufficiently absorbed and attitudes not fully formulated. Nevertheless, too much in the movie fails to jibe with the "revolution" that the twin media of reviews and publicity condition us to expect. The film questions and undermines the values and tactics of the rebels too thoroughly to function as a pamphlet, and this is fortunate. In the end, the interest complexity of If … attacks society all the more trenchantly for being so impervious to change that it forces many would-be reformers to become as evil as it is. (p. 20)

Stephen Farber
[If …'s] first problem for an American audience is its provincial English public-school setting. Director Lindsay Anderson wants us to see the school as a microcosm of English society—an institution dominated by the same hypocritical religion, military brutality and upper class privilege that flourish even more viciously on the outside. But he lingers so long and so intensely on scenes that cannot be considered representative, that take place only in a boys' school … that the connections between school and society become more and more tenuous. The virtue of the film is its specificity. It would be easy to say that the school equals the System, but that is such a bland equation that it is quite unfair to the film's witty detail and rich texture. If … is good enough to resist generalization. Yet perhaps this strength does imply a certain limitation of the film. David Sherwin's dialogue is brilliant, particularly in its observant mimicry of various kinds of official rhetoric, but the film keeps threatening to fall into parody. Its satire is almost always exactly on target, and the targets are really too easy to hit. The film does an expert job of dissecting the particular institution that it examines, but it needs another dimension—either more compassion or more rage—if it is to strike us as a truly visionary portrait of the cracks in Western civilization.
What gives If … a contemporary twist and...

Anderson's work is based on the assumption that art is real', and that cinematic art is 'poetry'…. What is meant by 'poetry' … is a fusion between style and content, between the thing said and the way of saying it, that makes the two inseparable and at the same time creates something new. His poetry begins with realism, with images drawn from the everyday, that are also so charged with the artist's particular vision that they acquire a deeper meaning, intensifying reality and becoming in themselves an experience. (p. 12)
But if Anderson always wanted art to show a belief in humanity, a mistake that people make is to regard this as a simple notion. On the contrary a belief in humanity, intelligently held, becomes increasingly complex the harder you look at humans. It was a belief in humanity that led Blake to write 'Cruelty has a human Heart,/And Jealousy a Human Face;/Terror the Human Form Divine,/And Secrecy the Human Dress."
To take the comparison with Blake a little further: most of Anderson's criticism and early films are Songs of Innocence (Thursday's Children) and Experience (O Dreamland.) As with Blake the two apparently irreconcilable opposites are first presented separately, and later welded together in a single vision of the world. (p. 14)
[Thursday's Children] is not about the nature of suffering. It is about the joy of discovery, the joy of being alive. (p. 21)...

Vincent Canby
"O Lucky Man!" clearly has a number of things on its mind, but as a movie, it is a very mixed bag.
Because Mr. Anderson is much more bold and free as a director than [David] Sherwin is inventive as a social satirist, "O Lucky Man!" always promises to be much more stimulating and funny than it ever is. Staying with it through its almost three-hour running time becomes increasingly nerve-racking, like watching superimposed images that never synchronize. The result does not match the ambition of the intention. The wit is too small, too perfunctory, for the grand plan of the film and the quality of the production itself….
The score exhibits real irony about the ghastly indecencies that Sherwin so ponderously tries to ridicule. In this day and age, for those of us who have grown up with the truly epic visions of film makers like Buñuel and Chaplin, it's hardly enough for a film to qualify as "serious" or "important" by pointing out to us the excesses of capitalism, the awesomeness of technology gone mad, or even that poor people can act like beasts, just like rich people.
A more disturbing proposition by far would be a film that might suggest that rampant capitalism and technological madness could possibly succeed, by some terrible fluke, in fulfilling their promises. That is something that would force us to rethink the clichés we liberals live by. "O Lucky Man!"… is a kind of homage to those...

Stanley Kauffmann
O Lucky Man! is so much the worst of [Anderson's three features] that it seems twisted by rancor—pickled in Anderson's bile because he wasn't called a genius for the first two. The film exudes conceit and pigheadedness, and is steeped in self-display and self-reference, a three-hour effort at self-canonization….
There is no single moment that is not well directed, some moments much better than that. But what is supposed to be a work of radical daring, in method and matter, is only a laborious sophomoric dud. (p. 204)
When the film isn't being excruciatingly banal in its "exposure" of the ills of our time, it's being equally painful in its opposing glimpses of purity and the lost Eden. (p. 205)
The picture is apparently intended as a picaresque account of a hero protected by innocence, whose goodheartedness sees him through. (I would have thought it was his good looks that made the happy ending, but no matter.) This is all shattered by the blow that Anderson smites. (pp. 205-06)
The film could have ended an hour sooner or gone on three hours more: the plain truth is that Anderson [has] absolutely nothing to say—and I use the word "say" in its widest possible sense….
Out of this mess of pretentiousness and egotism and aimless skill, what emerges finally? A great zero for this film and a hovering zero for Anderson's film future. (p. 206)

William S. Pechter
[If] O Lucky Man! is a celebration of success, it is of success in a bad world, a world in which, as the sophomoric cynicism of the song lyrics has it, "only wealth will buy you justice" and "Someone's got to win the human race/If it isn't you, then it has to be me." And, in being a kind of apologia provita sua for the director, it seems to me very much a work of bad faith and guilty conscience. To be sure, Anderson doesn't exempt himself from the film's indictment of the world's corruption: he in fact portrays himself much less indulgently than he does his hero, and without the defense of the hero's innocence…. And yet for all the self-criticism that the film implies, for all its bitter knowledge about the character of that establishment to which star and director have gained entry and the certainty that Anderson regards O Lucky Man! as a subversive work, it seems to me decidedly half-hearted and weighed down by a terrible complacency of spirit; for all the willfulness involved, there was something really more likable about the desire of If … to join the revolution than there is in this film's cynical seeing through the "opium" of such commitments.

Colin L. Westerbeck, Jr.
So many things seem to me wrong about [the killing of the hapless spider at the end of This Sporting Life], it is hard to know where to begin to criticize—or better still, exorcise—such an image. On the simplest and most literal level, unless one is trying to document lapses of sanitation under the National Health, one doesn't find spiders in hospital rooms. The spider is out of place there. It doesn't belong. It's an intrusion, an imposition, an importation.
Perhaps a more serious breach of art, however, is the fact that this spider isn't even an accurate image for the dilemma in which Anderson's rugby player finds himself. Where is the capricious hand of fate that crushes him? It doesn't exist in the film Anderson made…. Frank is the victim of his own character, not of the gods or fate—a smalltime Macbeth or Lear, not Oedipus or Agamemnon. To dramatize his catastrophe with this crushed spider is to play him false.
Unfortunately, Anderson's … O Lucky Man! is an attempt to make a whole movie about that spider. (pp. 501-02)
In This Sporting Life the image of the spider was at least inappropriate. We had seen a pretty good film until we got to the spider, and if his sequence was disconcerting, we could just throw it out without having to throw out the rest of the film as well. When Anderson clouts Michael with the script [in O Lucky Man!], however, the gesture is...

Anderson has shown such sensitivity and perception in the filming of [In Celebration], in barely opening the sets but doing so with an intensity of atmosphere that is overwhelming, that the work offers the best of film and of filmed theater….
This is the stuff of true drama, the little murders and petty mayhem of family dealings from memory and guilt and the weapons we dredge from past and present to use. Anderson and a superb cast have made it a harrowing and satisfying suspense drama. Each face becomes as familiar as the small talk; Storey's mastery of minor moments is underlined by the camera, which delineates the blood bonds that hold us all. (p. 77)

John Russell Taylor
It might be possible on the basis of Wakefield Express to imagine Anderson as a soft-hearted liberal, a sentimental kind of humanist who rather uncritically loves people, the quainter the better. But the humanity of Thursday's Children is something altogether tougher, harder won…. Though the information conveyed by the film is by no means uncomplicatedly optimistic—only a third of the children, we learn, can ever hope to achieve true speech—Thursday's Children comes across as a hymn to man's potential, a study not so much of suffering as of triumph over suffering. (p. 74)
If Thursday's Children showed a new tough-mindedness in Anderson's work, O Dreamland moved further into something very like savagery…. (p. 75)
[The] film could superficially be read as a denunciation of the exploitation of the working classes in a consumer society where rubbish such as we see for ourselves was all that was offered as cheap popular entertainment. But the film does not feel like that. Despite the opening shots of a chauffeur polishing a Bentley, it is hard to feel that the filmmaker's attitude toward the people he shows is entirely compassionate; often it is hard to see it as compassionate at all…. Humane, in a true, critical, unsentimental sense, the film may be, but anger replaces the conventional gesture of condescending sympathy "Only connect" is the film's message, and anger at those...

Gordon Gow
The social and the psychological elements of David Storey's In Celebration build rather slowly but nevertheless very strongly to an emotional peak which is tremendously moving…. The result is a love-hate drama, risking sentimentality in its determination to be honest, and succeeding in Lindsay Anderson's skilled marshalling of the … cast…. (p. 29)
Once, during the slow stuff early on, Anderson cuts well away to a short sequence when Colin picks up Andrew in his car on their way north, and this abrupt intrusion of familiar action-type cinema, as opposed to the cinema-of-words that prevails, is arguably a mistake. It increases my surprise at the omission of some short visual observations—a montage, maybe—of the actual celebratory dinner…. [Such] events, of course, are not anything more in themselves than circumstances which bring out the dramatic essence of the plays, and in the theatre we accept the convention that the occasions have gone by during the interval. But the film of In Celebration, when I saw it, had no interval…. Emotionally, for a British film, [the] overall effect is remarkably potent, and seamlessly joined to the social and psychological theses. (p. 30)

Putin's Russia
A mafia state
IF YOU are thinking of doing business with Russia (or if you are merely an English football supporter smarting at Russia's success in bagging the World Cup) then read the New York Times's recent piece on Wikileaks, and what it tells us about the State Department's assessment of that unlucky country. It is one thing to understand, theoretically, that politicians habitually meddle in the country's business life; it is quite another to read detailed accounts of the way that business decisions are distorted by corruption, favouritism and rent-seaking.
In Russia, the separation between the most important businesses and government officials runs from blurry to nonexistent.

Mother's Day Big Brag
Wow! Happy belated Mother's Day! Here's my official brag about how great my family is and what a great weekend we had on the homestead. This weekend I had requested to get the garden planted. The plan was for me to spend Saturday with my mom and sister while Rick and the boys went with his mom to the botanic gardens, and for us to plant the garden on Friday after Rick was home from work and on Sunday.
On Friday, we planted corn, onions, and carrots with the neighbor and put in our tomatoes. But Friday night, we got a call that our friend, Chris, had caught a swarm of bees for us, and another call that the CSA asparagus was ready to pick.
Some things just don't wait. So on Saturday morning, while the guys were at the botanic gardens with Grandma, my mom and sister came over here for bunch, and Chris brought us the swarm.
The bees we had last year left in the fall, we're not sure why. We think either the queen died or left since there were bees milling around aimlessly for a week or two before they were all gone. There were no dead bees, just gone. Last year's swarm was also much smaller and our friend caught it later in the season while we were out of town. He had installed them for us then, so this was the first time I got to experience putting bees into the hive, and Chris walked me through it. My mom got to watch ME put the bees into the hive (and took pictures for us!).
These new bees were pretty cranky, they had been in the box for a couple days and were hungry and thirsty. It took me three good tries to get the majority of them in the hive and get the bars on the top. My initial trial of things, they sort of swarmed around my head and clung to the gloves I was wearing. But they seemed to calm down significantly in a few minutes and I was able to knock the majority of the rest of them into the hive and get the bars on top without any trouble. I was really surprised at how they clung to the box, and also how quickly they just took to the hive.
We put them in with the old comb that last year's bees had left behind (we're pretty certain there were no mites or diseases), and they settled down fairly quickly. Many bees zoomed off to the water and sugar-water we had out for them, but others went to the entrance of the hive and started fanning their wings to spread the queen's pheromones so the remaining bees in the box and the air (there were still quite a few) would come on in and start making the new hive their home. It was really exciting and I'm sad Rick missed it again.
Then, it was back to brunch with the girls for me. It was a really nice time (I made lavender pound cake and my sister made yummy pecan-dark chocolate scones). When Rick and the boys got home, we headed up to the farm to pick asparagus. It took us less than forty-five minutes to pick a good 25 pounds before we trimmed it all up. It came out to about 14 pounds of asparagus, processed and frozen, plus some to eat fresh this week.
Sunday, for some unknown reason I woke up super early, before any of the guys rolled out of bed. When they got up around 6:45, they gave me some sweet cards and kisses, and promised to build me a picnic table next week! We got dressed and they took me out to Snooze (one of my favorite places) for breakfast. Afterward, we came home and started up more planting work.
We did the boys' hugelkultur bed first. H planted watermelon, carrots (two kinds) and tomatoes (an heirloom red cherry and a "white" cherry that will actually be yellow). The boys got a new real shovel and special, colored tomato cages. My mom always said she wouldn't be a mother without me, and I sort of feel the same about my boys, so they get treats on mother's day too). E ran around the hugelkultur while Rick scrambled to make barriers to keep him from trampling the seeds.
It was nap time before we knew it, and Rick and I spent the afternoon putting up asparagus (Rick did most the work), and planting out the rest of the main garden bed. By the evening I had gotten plans for my new picnic table, an order placed for the grub hoe I've been lusting over, a [nearly] fully planted garden bed, four kinds of basil in my flower beds, a delicious sunburn on my shoulders, a home-made dinner with fresh asparagus, and a perfect day with my guys. Lucky me!
I hope your Mother's Day weekend was just as special as mine was! What did you do?
Why I Blog and How I Became an Urban Homesteader
Four years ago, at the beginning of March, I started this blog. At first I began tentatively, not sure who would ever read what I had to say, unsure of if I even had anything to say at all. Unsure of what my blog was about (I hadn't even really read other blogs), I titled it "Journeys and Adventures" and just sort of typed whatever came to mind, the latest happenings in our lives, reviews of articles I read or documentaries I watched.
I quickly noticed a theme. I wanted to be a farmer. But I lived (live!) in a city. During my first month of writing I covered the garden or buying our first chicks in at least every-other post. I did not know anything about "urban homesteading" or that people called themselves this or that other people we like me at all – playing farmer on little patches of earth, where ever their feet had landed them in life.
There were lots of Monday morning posts chronicling the progress of our garden over the weekend or the construction of our chicken coop. And I began to understand that this was therapy – the gardening, the chickens, and the writing about it. I took more pictures, I squeezed more into the dirt we had. I found more dirt and eeked out more spaces to grow things. I dreamed of a bee hive. But this space remained a sort or personal journal.
One day, as Rick was reading, he asked why I didn't make the blog public, since only friends and family had access to it at this point. I thought about it for a while and decided I was afraid to put myself out in the open to any and everyone. But he encouraged me to do it, convinced that people would like what I had to say, and enjoy reading about our crazy adventures in playing at urban farming. So I did, and I decided to change the name of the blog too, so that it would reflect more of what it was now about.
I thought about the name change for a long time, mulling over terms like green, dirt, crunchy, city, suburbs, farming, etc. Through lots of reading, I discovered the term urban homesteading and found it described what we were doing. I still thought we virtually were alone in doing it, but I knew the phrase was the right one for our family and our journey.
A search engine led a writer for the Denver Post to my blog, and he contacted me, wanting an interview for a story he was doing on urban homesteaders. Because I was skeptical (hey! I didn't know this guy), I refused to be interviewed without Rick home, so I missed my chance. Timing was off and he couldn't come on the day Rick could be here. But I was so excited when the article came out. I discovered we were NOT alone. There were people in my own neighborhood doing this. People all over Denver!
Now look:
There is a reason I'm taking the time to write this trip down memory lane. It's not because it was my blog-iversary. It's because today is the third Day of Action for Urban Homesteaders across the internet.
Back in February of this year the Dervaes family of Pasadena, CA trademarked the terms "urban homestead" and "urban homesteading." I am not linking to who the Dervaes family is, but in short, they are a father and three grown children growing lots of food in a small area in California. They are a family church, with the father being the pastor and to my knowledge, the children are the members. A church of what is pretty unclear. From what little I know of them, they've done a lot with their space and many in the urban homesteading community admired them. I never really read much about them until now.
So the big deal? They sent out cease and desist letters to bloggers, businesses and organizations (even a library) who were using the two trademarked terms. They want credit with links every time the phrases are typed. I've seen the letters. They sent one to Denver Urban Homesteading, our local indoor farmers market, and had their Facebook page (and main marketing tool) shut down. Problem is they don't have the legal grounds to do this. They didn't invent the phrases, nor were they the first to use them. And their trademark does not give them the right to restrict the use of the English language in the way they claim. I know this because I know the owner of Denver Urban Homesteading. James, the person I worked with on Denver's inaugural chicken coop tour (with the Denver Botanic Garden's) last year, and the one I helped to make the Free the Chickens video with, also just happens to be a lawyer. Apparently the Derveas picked on the wrong homesteader.
Bloggers and urban homesteaders across the country have been outraged by the actions of people who were supposed to be leaders within our community. A Facebook page was created and quickly grew to over 6000 fans supporting the canceling of the trademarks and begging the Dervaes family to, at the very least, help us understand. There have even been claims that the Dervaes' are plagiarizing others' work (some of it used to support their claim to the trademarked phrases?). But the D-family closed all the comments on their many blogs. They temporarily took down their facebook page. They refused to answer email and letters. The only communication was denial of any wrong doing and to claim they were being persecuted, they were under attack. They did not (and still don't) approve of the fact their letters were put out in the open. A quick Google search will lead you to the letter if you want to read it.
Through all of this, over the last month-plus, I've stayed silent. All this uproar literally struck fear into my heart. I called my mom, nearly in tears. I told my BFF. I temporarily changed my blog name. I followed fellow bloggers as they posted and united in two previous Days of Action (read my favorite post on all of this here, from Northwest Edible Life). But I was afraid. This blog holds my heart. Like I said it is my therapy. And it's my personal journal. And it holds videos of my boys' first steps and first words. I don't want to loose any of it. Not over words.
But I've collected my thoughts. I've decided I can't be silent because all of this is too important to me.
So, today, on this Urban Homesteader's third Day of Action, I'm asking for your help. Please go to Change.org and sign the online petition to Cancel Trademarks on Urban Homestead and Urban Homesteading.
This petition is addressed to Jules Dervaes, and despite fears that he won't listen to this community, the petition can be used to help support our cause in other ways. It is a petition, a protest, and a plea to the Dervaes family. Whether or not they listen, legal actions are also being taken. Because like all the others, I too, am an Urban Homesteader. Thanks.
Inaugural Chicken Coop Tour
This weekend is a kick-off for the first annual Denver Botanic Gardens/Denver Urban Homesteading Chicken Coop Tour. Think Parade of Homes, but for chicken coops. There are 15 coops throughout Denver and the metro area participating in the tour. We are coop number seven.
We are so excited to be participating. By "we" of course I mean me and the chickens, since Rick is not really excited about 100 + people tromping through our yard and garden to see the digs. ;) But it's all in the name of raising awareness about urban agriculture. And besides that, they wrote some nice stuff about us on the tour map…
"A coop from original design by Anisa, five chickens, bees, and a gorgeous front yard garden that the family has had for the last seven years is what makes this site a perfect example of backyard agriculture and livestock keeping. Little Henry will show with pride his tomato plants, chickens and eggs."
Seriously!?!? How cool is that! There has been a bit of media promoting the tour in the last few days. Check out the piece FOX 31 did about the tour. James Bertini with Denver Urban Homesteading is featured in the story.
ABC 7 News also reported on the tour, as well as making it into the Denver Post's September 29th Food Calendar. The WestWord comic section even poked a bit of fun at us.
Tho tour is tomorrow, October 2nd, from 11am to 4pm. Maps can be purchased in person at the Botanic Gardens for $20 per group of four. There is still time to purchase a map for the tour. Contact Denver Botanic Gardens or Denver Urban Homesteading for details!
Independence Days: Weeks 20 through 22

I was privileged to go to a friend's birth at the very end of July – it turned out to be a long birth and it took me a couple days to recover. I don't know how those midwives do it! Also, we've been getting lots of yummy produce from the farm and we've been trying not to let any go to waste.
Also we have a lot of veggies coming on from the garden. Pictured are onions, beets, cucumbers and turnips.
I did make cherry preserves a couple weeks ago with the cherries I got to pick. Unfortunately I didn't cook it quite long enough, so it was very thin. We've been using it anyway – we just pretend it's cherry syrup.
H was getting worn out from going to the farm on Tuesday and then school on Wednesdays, making Thursday really hard every week, so we switched his school day to Tuesday while E and I are at the farm. He seems to be doing much better with that schedule, which we are all happy about.
Last weekend we went to the Adams County Fair. Our friend, Richard, got us tickets to the truck pull and a parking pass, and my mom and Manuel had food coupons and a parking pass as well, so they joined us. We had a GREAT time. H loved the truck pull with all the noise and the big trucks (though I was cringing terribly from all the black diesel exhaust I was watching needlessly billow into the air – oy!), and we had a blast riding carnival rides, eating yummy carnival food (like the giant brat Rick got) and playing games. We stayed until past midnight! It was a fun treat for everyone.
This weekend I gave the bees their second jar of sugar water. Originally I wasn't going to supplement our bees at all, but we started getting a little concerned that they might not get enough honey built up for the winter after their late start this spring. Not sure if we'll give them more, but hopefully that will help them get a little extra stored for the winter.
We picked a lot of green grapes from the neighbor this weekend, but I'm not sure what to do with them? Anyone know of a way to preserve green grapes? Maybe make raisins?
At any rate, here's the update:
Plant something – Rick planted beets and spinach in the strip by the driveway.
Harvest something – eggs, turnips, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, beets, tomatoes, green seedless grapes from the neighbor across the alley from us!
Preserve something – cherries into cherry preserves; onions hung up in the crawl space; 4 gallon size bags of corn on the cob and nearly two gallons of beans in the freezer; shredded 35 cups of zucchini: froze 30 cups and made five loaves zucchini bread; dried corn husks for making tamales this fall; made and froze double batches of pizza dough, doughnut dough, potato soup (1.5 gallons).
Waste Not – compost and recycling, scraps to chickens, etc.
Want Not – nothing.
Build Community Food Systems – nothing.
Eat the Food – we've been grilling pizzas using farm tomatoes, the last of our sausage, and farm basil. Otherwise, just been enjoying all the yummy summer bounty!
Independence Days Week 13-14: Bees, Weeds and Survival
Well this post is a bit tardy, but I wanted to share some exciting things from the last couple of weeks. At first I wasn't going to post anything from the week we were on vacation, because, obviously, we didn't harvest or plant anything. But then I realized that even though we were across the country, we still made baby steps. So there are a couple of things there from our trip – woohoo!
The first Sunday of the trip, our friends called saying they had a swarm of bees for us! They were so kind and put them into our hive while we were gone. We were sad to miss that, but we are so excited to have bees! And we're glad we had the hive all set up and waiting!
After we arrived home, we had a TON of weeds to pull. It had rained a few times and we didn't realize how much weeding we do on the fly. Just everyday picking a few here and there really keeps us on top of them. But when we got back, Rick filled a five gallon bucket at least six times with weeds!
Also, after we arrived home, I was having a discussion with a friend who had recently watched "Escaping Suburbia" and was talking about Peak Oil, becoming self sufficient and all of that. Later that afternoon, as I was walking to the post office, I passed a store called Farris Survival, which up until then, I thought was a camping store. But since I was walking past (instead of driving) I could see that they had rain barrels in there. So I decided to look around.
It is not a camping store. They sell water barrels and water filters and books and bulk beans and grains and grain mills and freeze dried bulk foods, and buckets and Mylar bags and basically everything you would need to survive in the event of apocalypse, government take over, or peak oil except guns. They didn't have a wooden barrel (I've been looking for one to turn into a smoker), but he did have a lot on information. All his grains and beans are organic and sold in 25 plus pound bags. He let H try using the grain mill and sent us home with a big ziplock back full of heirloom red quinoa to try.
Plant something – nothing
Harvest something – eggs, spinach, radishes, weeds galore. Richard was house/dog/chicken/BEE sitting for us, so he did all the egg harvesting. There were two full dozen in the fridge when we got home. And he told us he had made several quiches to take to work and had been eating eggs galore the whole time we were gone.
Preserve something – nothing, however, I bought a few more glass jars (big ones) for the pantry.
Waste Not – compost and recycling, of course, scraps to chickens, etc.
Want Not – bought 6 five pound bags of flour in Tennessee. The price of organic flour there was INSANE! $2.50-$3.50 per bag, while here it can get as high as $7.50. Also, when we got back, the neighbors across the street were having a garage sale, so I bought a big play pen thing with a shade cover – it will be perfect for working at the farm.
Build Community Food Systems – Bob Farris gave us a mess of quinoa. Most of which we'll eat, but we're going to plant some as well. And now we know of a good resource for lots of other things!
Eat the Food – tomatoes and corn (Rick found more in the freezer), pork, spinach and radishes, eggs. Peaches in Nashville from the Nashville Farmer's market. More to write here next week!
Independence Days Week 12: Grapes & Bee Hive!
So been CRAZY busy this week, and wanted to get something up. We're getting ready for a trip to Tennessee, so I preemptively crossed that off my 101 in 1001 list. Which reminded me that I could cross a few more items off as well. A month or two ago we paid off the 4Runner (WOOHOO!), and a few weeks ago, my friend Genny let me try her raw milk. Surprisingly, it tastes just like… milk. :D I don't know what else I would have expected.
Anyway, in short, here's what we did this week:
Plant something – Grapes Grapes Grapes Grape Grapes! Ok – not that many grapes. We were able to get cuttings from our friends, Rich & Rachel and so we hope to have some yummy concord grapes in a year or two!
Harvest something – eggs, lettuce, spinach
Preserve something – well no food in this category, but we put another coat of stain on the fence, as it had been a couple years – so now it is preserved for a couple years more!
Waste Not – compost and recycling, reused some scrap wood for the…. BEE HIVE! Yes yes, we have built a bee hive! Now we just need a swarm and we'll be rolling in the honey (welllll not rolling in it, but you know what I mean)! Also sorted through H's outgrown clothes for E, and E's outgrown clothes to give to friends or Goodwill. Went through kids' toys as well and made a bag for Goodwill. I have a reputation for being a Toy Nazi in this house, so there are never too many toys to go through. But the TN in me struck Monday morning. I tried to temper it a bit by putting a couple more of the boys' toy baskets on the floor where they can reach them without help.
Want Not – um – built a bee hive, duh! Looking at ordering some bulk chicken locally, but have not taken any action yet.
Build Community Food Systems – so thinking the said grapes count here. ??
Eat the Food – yep, we did! My favorite from the week was BLT's with avocado. The tomatoes weren't the best, but we used our lettuce and bacon – yum!
A few bee hive building pictures for you…
Books & Bees
Rifle season is officially upon us, and Rick is up in Kremmling hunting for an elk (Oh how I hope he gets one! It would be so nice to have meat in the freezer… enough for the whole year)!
So while he's gone, I'm passing the time by surfing the net and playing on Amazon.com. I should be cleaning, I know. I just can't bring myself to do work, while he's out there playing. :)
If you didn't know it, Amazon has a cool feature… Wish Lists. I've been filling mine up as a reminder of stuff I want to buy if I ever have extra money to do so. And how will I get said extra money?? By selling stuff on Amazon, of course! I've decided to give it a try anyway. I've listed a few books, so we'll see what happens.
Last week I was invited to join a long distance book club… a group of women will be mailing each other books to read each month. Not the same books, just a book they'd like to pass on. I love the idea. I can't wait until we start… I can't wait to get a book in the mail! And I've been picking out a couple books that I think I'm ready to send on too. It should be lots of fun!
I recently borrowed The Secret Life of Bees from a friend, and I really enjoyed it. It's a short book, an easy read. But it was a fun one, and I hope to get a few more fun books in the club. I wish I owned The Secret Life of Bees, just so I could pass it on in the club!
(image of Ukrainian Beekeeping Stamps… apparently, one in 1000 people in the Ukraine keep bees!!)
Something endears the characters in that book to me… maybe it's because I'm fascinated with bees. I am always telling Rick how I want to try out beekeeping. Maybe if we ever get some real land, it'll be my next project.
I have no fear of bees. I so love hanging out in my flower gardens and seeing all the different kinds of bees, busily collecting pollen. I love that they are enjoying my flowers as much as I am. Even the neighbor comments on all the bees in my flowers! I love it!
"First chickens, now bees?" Rick would say. "Yep," says I. "Can't you just imagine how great your own home grown honey would be??"

Not doing it with junk that wasn't going to translate to the big leagues either. Doing it with quality stuff. I don't know what happened to Stewart. Something did obviously. I am going to try to find out.
Yeah, I had seen him pitch out of the bullpen in Dayton, and he was completely dominant. He had no business playing there to be honest. When I saw him in Raleigh, it looked like it was just a matter of time before hitters would catch up to him. Although his slider made hitters look silly, you could tell the results would be a bit different once they had a chance to see him again. His fastball was nice and heavy with a slider that was clearly above average. People say nice things about his changeup, but it never impressed me. When he missed, he missed in the zone, and advanced hitters can capitalize on that a lot more.
It's easy to get excited about a prospect like Stewart. He was very successful at a young age in every level he entered. However, an assumption talent evaluators often make is that improvement is inevitable. My opinion was that he was already getting nearly the most out of his talent. I still think his best years are ahead of him as I think it's only his confidence that's holding him back, but I never saw his ceiling as anything more than a solid setup guy. I'm surprised so many teams have passed on him already because I think he could be a reliable reliever right now.

If we examine the way the federal government, and primarily the Bush administration, has supported the unabashed manner that lending institutions and corporate America as a whole has been operating for the past decade, it come with no surprise that we should be facing such disastrous situation today. Billions of pension funds dollars is at stake. These are not investors looking to get rich, but rather hard working people who have and save for retirement. Who oversees their investment? Yes, there should be strong regulatory measures that will oversee and protect the American worker. Let us not forget what the purpose of government is: the people- Not Corporations!
WHILE pundits debate whether it was specifically lax regulation that caused our financial meltdown, you have to travel a long way (to the comments section, probably) to find anyone who will argue the other side of "better regulation would have helped". Now Barack Obama promises fierce regulation while John McCain fiercely promises regulatory reform. Yet another dispute between the nominees vanishes before voters' eyes.
I wonder, though, if the discriminating voter can't still find important differences between the two freshly-feathered financial hawks. The Illinois senator broadly accuses government and corporate magpies of being complicit in America's financial troubles. His solution—put a real regulator in the White House. The Arizona senator sounds more specific, saying uncoordinated regulators and unverified books are to blame and be corrected. Mr Obama, as a hawk, promises to soar in a widening gyre. Mr McCain promises a tighter formation. That makes him more of a goose, actually, but a ferocious one.
I can see both cases. On the one hand, better inspection and regulation of financial reporting by itself may leave us, once more, fighting the last war and unprepared, once more, for the consequences of new crimes now being concocted. On the other hand, given the short attention span of congress and the habit of inserting three irrelevancies between every two lines of code, it might be better to focus on the culprit currently in the stockade. I'm curious what our commenters think should be the next president's approach to regulating Wall Street, broader or finer?

Product Description
This sequel to Daughter of Joy weaves an honest, emotive tale of one woman's struggle to accept redeeming love. Hannah Cutler, a former prostitute, is trying to begin her life anew. But she struggles with the notion of being loved, even by the Lord of love whom she recently accepted as her Savior.
Devlin MacKay adds to Hannah's feelings of shame by unjustly blaming her for his own guilty past. But as Hannah becomes a Woman of Grace, Devlin is forced to confront his feelings for her and toward the God who has transformed her life.

My lo just got over the same thing. She was prescribed Augmentin and ended up with a rash. I tried a&d ointment, but it didnt help. I switched to Lotrimin, which cleared it up after a full day of applying it.

"The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation." ~ Emma Goldman
