Skip to comments.Mexican Military Raiding The Homes of Phoenix Police Officers
Posted on 06/26/2008 11:46:02 AM PDT by Bodhi1
KFYI Radio in Phoenix is reporting an incident that took place this past Monday morning in a Phoenix residential neighborhood. Former Congressman turned talk radio host, JD Hayworth, reports that three suspects were captured in an attempted ambush on Phoenix Police which may have turned deadly. The three suspects were captured with two AR-15 assault weapons, full body armor and dressed in black assault gear impersonating a Phoenix Police Tactical Team.

They will let them go on that technicality.
Lets cut the crap, this is damn near an act of war...
Mexico's Ambassador would have gotten a serious a$#chewing, and the perps would have been thrown in prison.
They were out of bullets? Who invades another country or attempts to invade a home and runs out of bullets beforehand? The MexiKali Kops?
Damn near? I say it is an act of war
And so far, no response from the senior Senator from Arizona.
Has this been picked up by the national news media?
Mexicans are sure brazen these in these days of embarrassing American weakness. It wasn't long ago that incidents like this happened only south of the border.
I'm sure Joe Arpaio has taken notice. ...and is prepared.
For some reason this brings to mind No Country For Old Men.
Maybe we can arrange a prisoner exchange. Trade these invaders to the Mexican authorities if they'll let us release our two border agents from the federal penetentiary.
(If that doesn't make any sense to you, it's not supposed to. Those two shouldn't have been sent to jail they should have received a citation!)
It is a criminal act.
If these criminals were official representatives of the Mexican government, it would be an act of war.
What it does mean is that US government should inform Mexico that if they are unable to prevent their cartels from attacking US law enforcement personnel, then the US military will have to take a more proactive role.
What a country, huh? .. and Chertoff is off in lalaland... along with ..
side note,, you aware of a road rage incident that resulted in 3 dead US citizens. The alleged shooter is a MS-13 gang member,,
smithl, did you post or see anything about that? a father and 3 sons, a guy unloaded on 'em , father and 2 of 3 are dead.
Here's the best defense for shooting a SWAT (Phoenix Police Tactical Team) Officer that one could ever imagine. If their gear is being stolen and illegals are wearing it you can be damn sure that they won't be getting the respect they are used to. Scream POLICE at the top of your lungs and the homeowner is going to say that he heard a Hispanic tone to the word, thought that illegals were breaking in and shot at them.
What's a jury supposed to think?
It would be if we had a real man in The Oval Office.
Loss of sovereignty is but a small price to pay if we're guaranteed cheap (albeit tainted with salmonella) lettuce and tomatoes. {/Sarcasm}
Think of it, folks: we're going to loose our country just so MacDonalds can afford to put lettuce and tomatoes on our whoppers.
I've been folowing this for a few days here on FR. This is serious. However, this headline is in no way supported by the story.
Just three free-booting Mexican soldiers sent to murder American law enforcement officers.
Nothing to see here my friends . . .
Should Italy declare war against the USA for a CIA kidnapping on Italian soil?
McCain goes ballistic when asked about amnesty or related topics. Something is mentally off with McCain in addition to him being creepy. Let's not forget he voted against the Cronyn amendment - one of only ten GOP Senators who opposed barring terrorists and criminals from US.
"Act of War" gets my vote...
I know what you mean. The White House just might go after those who dared to apture this trio.
I think we're beyond act of war with this.
The CIA kidnapped a Muslim cleric, an Egyptian national, on Italian soil. These apparently rogue Mexican army officers shot up the home of an Arizona law enforcement official and murdered him. When you attack the law enforcement personnel of another country, it's an attack against that country's government.
Comments like that make me wish FR had a voting system, so I could vote that one up.
Grain of salt bump.
Nowhere in this article nor in any of the previouse threads or articles has this been stated. The home was NOT that of a LEO. ONLY in this blogger's headline does that allegation exist.
Then we'll have to ask the Mexican government to allow us to let THOSE Americans to not serve terms in OUR prisons.
"None of the men accused in a deadly west Phoenix home invasion this week is an active member of the Mexican military, according to Phoenix police.
Daniel Garcia-Saenz, 24; Manual Garcia-Trejom, 25; and Rodolfo Madrigal Lopez, 19, were arrested Sunday night in connection with the slaying of Andrew Williams, 30, who was gunned down in his home in the 8300 block of West Cypress Avenue.
The assailants wore body armor, had assault-style rifles and used more than 100 rounds of ammunition.
After the arrests, one of the men - whom police have not identified - told a police officer that he had received some military training, said Sgt. Joel Tranter, a police spokesman.
That statement launched speculation that members of the Mexican army invaded the home."
You are correct. The victim is not identified as a LEO.
And the perps are not "active" members of the Mexican army.
I jumped the gun on this. I've gotten in the habit of assuming the worst.
No problem.
It took the AZR three days to do this story. I'm suspicious of the denial of military involvement. These invaders were wearing TAC gear and had PhPD POLICE shirts. 1-3 others are still out there...can't get a right count.
I'm sure the Mexican soldiers were working their second job (for the drug cartels) and that the President and Congress will see this as a good reason to send more money to Mexico.
Personally, I see this as an excellent reason to build Korean DMZ type defenses along the border with Mexico - minefields, stacks of concertina wire, bunkers, military patrols and rapid-response gunships.
This is an act of war. Bush should be jumping all over the Mexican government.
Just a play on words. Don't beat yourself up over this. There is more to this story, a lot more.
"...just so MacDonalds can afford to put lettuce and tomatoes on our whoppers."
Very few people are allowed to touch my whopper, much less put lettuce and tomatoes on it.
Pingaroo: CA: Gang member arrested in killing of dad, 2 sons (MS-13, "nothing more than a soccer group")
I'm just trying to help
; )
we're going to loose our country just so MacDonalds can afford to put lettuce and tomatoes on our whoppers. ......MacDonalds doesn't make Whoppers, much less than they use tomatoes.
If they weren't the Mexican army, treat them like terrorist.

A USDA Community Connect Grant Brings Brownington, Missouri to the Digital Age
A small rural community half way between Kansas City and Springfield is the Village of Brownington, possibly the best kept secret of Henry County. Nestled comfortably along the Harry S. Truman Lake, the Village consists of 119 residents with 68 housing units covering a land area of only 0.15 sq. miles. Their numbers may be small, but their courage and determination to revive their community is remarkable.
To the delight of the residents, the Village was recently awarded a grant for access to broadband service and the construction of a Community Center. The broadband service is a result of a program administered by USDA Rural Development. The program known as "Community Connect" provides grants to eligible applicants to establish broadband service in rural communities that are not currently served. Read more »

On a pace basis, recovery runs should be no faster than two minutes per mile slower than half-marathon pace. Going too hard on recovery runs means your body will be more tired than it should be the next day; this will affect the rest of your training.
Complete recovery runs on flat courses and grass or trails that are not very technical. The softer surfaces will also speed the recovery process.
More: 5 Ways to Speed Your Running Recovery
Tip 5: Don't Just Run
Adding some light strength training, core-strengthening exercises and foam rolling will also help your training. You can do simple strength training at home using your own body weight and no gym equipment. Exercises should include: reverse lunges, body-weight squats, push-ups, and ab work such as leg lifts, bicycle and back extensions. "When your core is strong, everything else will follow," says McMillan Elite professional running team coach Greg McMillan, who has also coached many non-elite runners to achieve BQs.
Foam rolling also helps the muscle recovery process.
More: Foam Rolling Exercises for Runners
Tip 6: Complete Tempo Runs
Tempo runs are another key training element to help you achieve your qualifying time. Tempo runs are steady-state runs where you run 2 to 3 miles easy, then go straight into your tempo pace without a break. Finish your tempo miles with a cooldown of 1 to 2 miles of easy jogging. Tempo runs improve your lactate-threshold pace, which leads to improvements in your marathon pace because these runs make marathon pace feel easier. Tempo runs are usually done at 15K to half-marathon pace, but you can also run them at 10 to 30 seconds per mile faster than goal marathon pace.
More: 4 Tempo Run Workouts
Tip 7: Training With Others Holds You Accountable
Training with a group of people with similar abilities or who are a little faster will make you a better runner. It will also make it less likely for you to skip runs on days you aren't feeling it because you will have people waiting on you.
More: 4 Tips for Group Runs
Finally, believe in yourself! Tell yourself over and over that you can and will qualify for Boston.

Ali in Wonderland: And Other Tall Tales (Paperback)
An acclaimed comedic actress and writer, former Oprah regular, wife of political and media star George Stephanopoulos, and a mother who lets her two girls eat cotton candy before bed, Ali Wentworth rebelled against her blue-blood upbringing, embracing Hollywood, motorcycles, even a few wildly inappropriate marriage proposals. In Ali in Wonderland, she takes us through the looking glass: from a childhood among Washington's elite and a stint in a New England prep school to her days doing L.A. sketch comedy alongside Will Ferrell and Lisa Kudrow. Constant throughout is her mother, Muffie, a flawlessly elegant, no-nonsense force of nature and pure WASP convictions. As charming and off-the-wall as Ali herself, her acclaimed memoir is a delightful look at life that is both intimate and uproarious.
Praise For…
-Marie Claire
"Everything that comes out of Ali Wentworth's mouth is funny!"
-Jerry Seinfeld
"Ali Wentworth's book is like Chicken Soup for the Vagina. Gays and straight men, I'm not leaving you out here! Ali is truly one of the quickest, funniest girls I've ever met. Enjoy!"
-Kathy Griffin
"Ali has written a truly hilarious book . . . and she's also a good kisser!"
-Chelsea Handler
"Wentworth is amusing and frank, often frenetic, with sharp intelligence underneath the sassy wackiness; passages about her struggle with depression, falling in love with her husband, and her daughter's baptism have funny moments, but they're thoughtful and touching, too…. Highly entertaining memoir."
-Publishers Weekly
"Ali Wentworth is funny and warm and crazy all at once. Like Barbara Eden. But on something. Like crystal meth."
-Alec Baldwin
"I would tone down the pee and fart references."
-Muffie Cabot (Ali's mother)
"[A] lively, laugh-out-loud memoir....Fans of Amy Sedaris and Merrill Markoe will enjoy Wentworth's warped Weltanschauung and wicket wit."
"Ali Wentworth tumbles comically through Ali in Wonderland."
-Vanity Fair
-Food & Wine
"Unanimous applause greeted this actress-comedian's tour of her fabulous life…all recounted in a manner that had one reader wondering if Wentworth is 'a long-lost sister of the Sedaris clan.'"
-Elle, Readers' Prize February 2012
"[A] satirical dissection of class and privilege….A smart, often-funny memoir."
-Kirkus Reviews
"A breezily amusing memoir..."
-New York Post
"One of the most hilarious reads I've enjoyed in a long time."
-Gwyneth Paltrow, goop
"With candor and humor, [Wentworth] writes about her life, her marriage and growing up in the elite world of her illustrious mother…"
-Julie Hinds, Detroit Free Press

Tanner Smith's (Boxford, Mass./Brooks School) goal with 1:17 remaining in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference as No. 16 Denison outlasted Ohio Wesleyan, 7-6 in the first round of the 2011 NCAA Division III Tournament from Deeds Field-Piper Stadium. With the win, Denison advances to Saturday's second round where they will face Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, N.Y. at a time to be determined.
While the Big Red may have successfully ran their winning streak versus Ohio Wesleyan to six, today's match more closely resembled the one-goal grudge matches that were so common from 2002-07.
Denison came out of the gate strong, scoring three unanswered goals in the opening quarter, but the second quarter would belong to the Battling Bishops as they outscored DU3-1 to knot the score at 4-4 at the half. Denison's four first half goals came from four different players as Emmett Jones (Colorado Springs, Colo./Air Academy) starting things off, followed by a man-up goal from Smith. Senior Porter McKay (Louisville, Ky./Trinity) got in the act and Cory Couture (San Diego, Calif./Coronado) provided Denison's lone second quarter goal.
In the second half DU opened up a two-goal lead in the first five minutes of the third quarter when Jones scored an unassisted goal and Smith found Kyle Brown (Glenview, Ill./New Trier) for his 22nd goal of the season with 10:31 to play in the quarter.
With 8:46 left in the third, OWU snapped their scoring drought when Scotty Rosenthal hit Jack McCormick on a cut. The game-tying goals would occur with 2:22 left in the third when OWU's Tony D'Abarno scooped up a ground ball after a Denison turnover and following a clear, Bishop attackman Colin Short found the back of the net off an assist from Drew Scharf.
The two teams would head into the fourth quarter tied at 6-6 and the score would remain that way until Smith's game-winner with just over one minute left. There were plenty of opportunities for the Big Red leading up to the Smith goal. In all, the Big Red took 12 shots over an 11 minute span in that quarter with four of those shots resulting in Stephen Ford saves.
With three minutes left in the contest, Ohio Wesleyan had the ball and after running the clock to the 2:11 mark. That's when OWU middie Drew Scharf saw an opening up the middle of the Denison defense and fired a shot that was saved by DU goalie Nick Petracca (Manhassett, N.Y./Loomis Chaffee).
After the save Denison successfully cleared the ball and calmly got the ball to Smith who ripped a shot from just to the right and five yards from the cage resulting in his 18th goal of the season.
With the game anything but decided, OWU won the ensuing face-off but after getting into their offensive set, a pass to a cutting attacker was intercepted by DU close defenseman Spencer Riehl (Reistertown, Md./St. Paul's) who deflected the ball to Austin Campbell (Berwyn, Pa./Conestoga). Denison successfully cleared the ball but pressure on Davis Lukens (Marietta, Ga./Holy Innocents') deep in Big Red territory on the near sideline resulted in a turnover with 21 seconds left.
Ohio Wesleyan got the ball into their half of the field quickly but their last-chance at scoring with five seconds left met the same fate as their attempt less than 30 seconds earlier. Mark Stanton (Hamilton, N.J./The Peddie School) came up with the interception to seal the win for Denison.
Denison held a 34-29 advantage in shots and finished with 22 ground balls compared to 21 for OWU. There were only three penalties in the contest as Denison went 1-for-2 in extra man while Ohio Wesleyan was 0-for-1. The Bishops held a 11-6 advantage in face-off's and committed 16 turnovers to DU's 14.
The victory improves Denison's record versus OWU to 45-42-1 all-time. In the NCAA Tournament, the Big Red improve to 9-18 overall and 4-5 versus the Battling Bishops in the NCAA postseason. Up next for Denison is undefeated (17-0) and No. 2 ranked, R.I.T. This is Denison's first-ever meeting with the Tigers. R.I.T. will provide live video of the second round game from Rochester, N.Y. A start time will be determined on Thursday.

GDFD No. 72: I long for the days of our wide-eyed optimism
Ryan Lambert
March 23 2009 04:16PM
Welcome to the 24th Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 72nd game of the season on March 23, 2009.
(Please enjoy the adorable baby animal friends above. They are the last thing you will find likable about the night.)
Ah all the optimism for this homestand. I remember those days.
Saying, "Well they could be 2-0-0 headed into that Detroit game. We could deal with a loss then." Oh ho, how naïve.
The defense is a shambles, the goaltending sucks, the offense scored just two goals against the freakin' Blues. And now the Flames have to deal with the friggin' Red Wings. The Flames actually enter this game going, "Jeez we kinda gotta pull this out to keep the Canucks off our asses." AGAINST DETROIT! THEY HAVE TO SAY THIS!
So know what sucks? That. That sucks.
The good news is that they could very well turn this into a comedy of errors, not unlike the movie "Meet the Parents," at least insofar as a cat making potty on the ashes of dearly departed relatives qualifies as "comedy."
The Calgary Flames (41-24-6 for 88 points. Third in the West, first in the Northwest) and the Detroit Red Wings (48-15-9 for 105 points. Second in the West, first in the Central)
7:30 p.m. Mountain time and 9:30 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should be honest with each other.
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary is 23-9-4 at home this year, but just lost to the Blues so, uh, that's not good. The Wings are an excellent 22-10-5 away from the Joe and are undefeated in their last five road games.
What (to hate about the Red Wings):
Tomas Holmstrom — One of these days, some goalie is gonna get very upset that there is an ass directly in front of his face, and he is going to hack Holmstrom so hard in the back of the leg that his MCL sticks to the end of the blade. And it will have been completely deserved. Because Holmstrom is an asshole.
Chris Chelios — Hey Old Man River, why not keep rolling along right on out of the NHL, you ugly idiot. Also, I've been to Cheli's Chili and that place stinks.
Mike Babcock — Nice hat, Dick Tracy. Why not see if you can get Pruneface to play wing on the fourth line?
Eminem and Kid Rock — Both white trash, both put out unlistenable albums, both love the Red Wings. Coincidence? Almost certainly not.
They're gonna win — Probably. I said it last time and they didn't, soooooo..... fingers crossed!
Masochism. Enjoy the game and talk about how badly this is all going in the comments section.
Detroit is far from the juggernaut they were last year. They are, in fact, a very beatable team, as long as we exploit their vulnerabilities, and stop them from exploiting ours.
At least, that's what I'm telling myself. I honestly can't imagine a way for us to win without getting a good helping of luck.
atta boy Oh so bad! U rawk!!!
Oh sorry.... dion did good!
*suddenly disturbed by how weird it feels to say good and dion in same sentence*
I am so glad your predictions were wrong tonight (so far, at least, there's still more that a period left). It seems the Red Wings miss Holmstrom a lot.
Eminem's new Album is going to be garbage if that first single is any indication...
That kitty is petting that bird!!
I thought the kitty was about to bite the birds head off.

Imagining the Grand Canyon
right detail: David Hockney A Bigger Grand Canyon National Galleiy of Australia © 1999 David Hockney
Once considered as a place of terror, from the 19th century the Grand Canyon came to represent great Majesty the Heroic and westward expansion. In his recent publication, How the Canyon became Grand, Stephen Pyne explores changing perceptions of the grand Canyon over the centuries, as that extraordinary site came to symbolise different values and ideas for different generations — from the Unknown to Populism, from Grandeur to Wilderness.1
Few major artists have chosen to grapple with the Grand Canyon — notoriously difficult given its vast scale; the most recent of them is David Hockney. He had long harboured a desire to work on the subject, ever since his early visit to America as a young man. Now, as a mature artist, he has applied extraordinary skill to the painting of A Bigger Grand Canyon.
Photographing the unphotographable
Hockney photographed the Grand Canyon in 1982. He commented later that he wanted 'to photograph the unphotographable. Which is to say, space ... [T]here is no question ... that the thrill of standing on that rim of the Grand Canyon is spatial. It is the biggest space you can look out over that has an edge.'2 The artist's solution for his two-dimensional image of the Grand Canyon was to take a series of photographs which, with their multiple vanishing points, he placed together as the collage, Grand Canyon with ledge, Arizona, 1982.3 This was one of several such photo-collages that he made at the time, and it can now be identified as a crucial step in the making of A Bigger Grand Canyon.
For Hockney, the problem with photography had always been that the composition was a single view — 'such a tunnel to me'4 — and could only inadequately deal with the subject at hand. His decision to make photo-collages of the Grand Canyon followed 'a Cubist idea ... when you put one piece of paper on top of another… you put two pieces of time together, [and] therefore make a space. I thought I was making time, then you realise you're making space… Then you realise time and space are the same thing.'5 In 1986, in preparation for a forthcoming exhibition at the International Center for Photography in New York, David Hockney Photocollage: Wider perspective, the artist revisited his preferred collaged view of the Grand Canyon. This he produced in a large scale photo-collage of 60 photographs, reprinting them using the full negatives abutted to make Grand Canyon with Ledge, Arizona. 1982, Collage #2, Made May 19866 It was this work which formed the painting over a decade later.
A time of bereavement
In June and July 1997, Hockney made two long trips by car, from Los Angeles to Santa Fe and back: 'I'd been contemplating some sort of big landscape of the West. Big spaces: that's what was getting into my head. I was experiencing a growing claustrophobia [and] stronger, the longing for big spaces.'7 The full expression of this would be to paint the Grand Canyon.
Almost immediately after this journey, Hockney returned to the landscape of his youth, Yorkshire, to be with a dying friend, Jonathan Silver — 'who always thought that life was a celebration'.8 Hockney made frequent trips through the countryside to be at the bedside of his friend. The experience inspired a series of paintings of the Yorkshire landscape, a subject suggested by Silver — in order 'to put some joy there'.9The last two paintings in the series, Double East Yorkshire and Garrowby Hill of early 1998, were painted on Hockney's return to Los Angeles, after Silver's death. As the work progressed, the imagery had become more and more dramatic. The final painting of the series, a view from Garrowby Hill, was a location that, to Hockney, imparted 'this marvellous feeling, how you're about to take off and fly. A momentary sense of soaring.'10 Garrowby Hill, about a journey through winding roads towards distant vistas, was rich in metaphor at this time of bereavement.
Looking at the Grand Canyon
Hockney's obsession with the depiction of 'big spaces' had been fuelled by a visit, in December 1997, to the exhibition Thomas Moran at the National Gallery in Washington DC. Like Hockney, Moran (1837—1926), a fellow countryman from the North of England, had taken on the challenge of the Grand Canyon. Hockney remarked that the exhibition catalogue 'featured an early ad for the Santa Fe Railroad which characterized the Grand Canyon as "the despair of the painter" — meaning, it was too difficult to paint'11 Returning home to Los Angeles, Hockney prepared to paint it.
He made two painted studies, one of nine canvases, the other of 15, then cleared his studio of everything except these, and two related photo-collages. These works formed the basis for Composition study for A Bigger Grand Canyon.'12 In February 1998, Hockney began work on the 60 canvas A Bigger Grand Canyon. During the process, in an effort to resolve the painting further, he made three more drawings — of the left, centre and right of the foreground. The subject, according to the artist, is "Looking at the Grand Canyon", not just "the Grand Canyon".13
A different point of view
A Bigger Grand Canyon is a culminating statement by the artist about the depiction of space and the experience of being within a space, or travelling through a space, over time. In this remarkable landscape, Hockney has drawn from a lifetime's experience. He refers to the lessons of Cubism, where a subject is depicted with multiple viewpoints. There are lessons drawn from a careful examination of Chinese scroll painting where different time sequences, different elements of a cityscape or landscape form an apparent whole. There are the lessons learned from Hockney's own set designs for operatic productions. A significant lesson was learned while driving through vast landscapes in his car listening to music. In Hockney's view, music is 'an art of time and of movement and so driving a car though a landscape ... they have connections ... [with] Nature doing the lighting'.14
Defying the imagination
Hockney has created a 60 canvas work, with as many viewpoints and points in time. The artist has woven together all the elements he perceives in his subject, and those he imagines. The painting suggests what it is like to be in a landscape, to travel around in it, to view tiny details as well as dramatic vistas, to see changing light, to trample the earth under foot, and to feel the sun beating down. The viewer has the breathtaking experience of rounding jagged outcrops, descending rocky steps, looking down over dry river beds and viewing distant escarpments, while confronting at close hand strange sculptural forms. It is a most suitable subject for a painter obsessed with space — how you perceive it, how you depict it. The experience of viewing the Canyon from the rim, as Hockney has noted, is remarkable: 'You can peer into it for an awful long time. And you look all over. I mean, it is the one place …
where you become very aware of how you move your head, your eyes, everything.'15 The noted art historian, Marco Livingstone, has commented on the effect that the painting has on the viewer: A Bigger Grand Canyon places the viewer so convincingly at the canyon's south rim at Powell Point, one of the most spectacular vantage points, as to induce in some the vertiginous thrill of standing on the edge of a precipice so deep and extensive that it almost defies the imagination.'16
The Sublime
The element of The Sublime in this work has been perceptively noted by another scholar, Paul Melia. He sets the landscape within the English Romantic tradition: 'The genre of landscape has been important to Hockney since the beginning of his professional career. Until relatively recently, however, he was unable to draw upon the Romantic or neo-Romantic tradition of landscape art: personal experience, empathy, quasi-magical feelings aroused by a place or location, spontaneity all triggers of artistic production for older generations of artists (Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, the painters of the St Ives School).'17 A Bigger Grand Canyon clearly has links to the rich and awe inspiring English Romantic tradition but also to the broader European emotionally redolent Symbolist landscapes of Paul Gauguin and the artists at Pont Aven, the forefathers of Hockney's much loved School of Paris. In their works, the universal, the symbolic, is tapped and the pedestrian or the man-made is excluded. Hockney presents the Grand Canyon without tourists or evidence of human intrusion such as abandoned mines. Here is a Symbolist landscape with the colours of the desert.

'Hollywood at the end of the street'18
Brilliance of colour and vastness of space characterised a world of dreams when Hockney was growing up in the then heavily industrialised North of England. As a young boy in Bradford, he frequented the cinema and was mesmerised by the big screen, its scale and colours. His Grand Canyon painting, according to Livingstone, recalls 'the magnificent spectacle of the Hollywood cinema which had helped draw him [Hockneyl to the American West while he was a young boy day dreaming in Bradford'.19
Described as a 'technicolour extravaganza that pays oblique homage to Hollywood films in its extended horizontal format',20 A Bigger Grand Canyon is rich in golds, crimsons, scarlets, oranges, nchres and browns, and contrasts of brilliant blues and greens. The visual impact, on even the most jaded late 20th-century eye, is as powerful and confronting as a Fauve palette would have been in the dimly coloured, restrained world at the beginning of this century.
In his discussion of the painting technique he employed, Hockney has noted: 'If you want very strong colour, first of all you have to put it on reasonably thin ... and build it up in layers. But I wanted the colour to stay there so you have to put it on in a certain way to build it up rather slowly ... let the white of the canvas into it to get the glow. You don't put white paint in colour that would make it somewhat chalky.'21 In fact, Hockney has applied his paint in the manner of Vermeer, with the subject built up by the application of thin layers of oil. He was enthralled in 1996, at the major exhibition of the paintings of Johannes Vermeer, by 'the vibrancy of the colors after all these years ... I spent hours in those rooms in The Hague, just studying how he did it, how he made those images glow like that. Just technically — the layering, the building up of thin layers of colors, one atop the next, the foreplanning. I joked that Vermeer's colors will last a lot longer than MGM's, but it's true.'22 22
A bigger universe
While the pedigree nf A Bigger Grand Canyon is set within the European landscape tradition, the colours, the experience of being in the landscape and the sense of the universal, imbue the painting with a level of meaning not seen before in Hockney's work. It suggests a move to an art of Symbolism in a landscape of almost unimaginable space.
In an interview with the artist, Lawrence Weschler talked to Hockney about his recent paintings, including A Bigger Grand Canyon. He reminded Hockney of a favourite quotation of his, from the writings of the astronomer Carl Sagan, which reads, in part: 'How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, "This is better than we thought! The universe is much bigger than our prophets said — grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed"?'23 It is Hockney's view that Sagan's comment was 'actually about big space ... how God must be even greater than we dreamed of. Much bigger. The universe, bigger. Grander. Vaster. More spacious. I thought that was marvelous.'24
Such vast space is the principal subject of A Bigger Grand Canyon. Emotionally loaded in its colours, forms and scale, the painting extends the boundaries of the landscape genre. In the words of Livingstone:
'Far from being overwhelmed by this challenge, Hockney has produced not only one of the masterpieces of his maturity but also one of the most remarkable landscape paintings in the history of western art.'25

In a repeat of last season's PRO12 semi-final the Ospreys take on Munster, but this time the Welsh region will have home advantage.
In a repeat of last season's semi-final the Ospreys take on Munster in the RaboDirect PRO12, but this time the Welsh side will have home advantage.
Their 2010/11 clash at Thomond Park was a close affair that Munster managed to win 18-11. Expect a similar scoreline to either XV on Friday.
The Ospreys are in an excellent run of form right now after winning five straight PRO12 fixtures – six out of eight since Steve Tandy took over the reins. Therefore it has come as no surprise that the Welsh have been installed as favourites, against a side they have beaten twice this campaign.
Munster meanwhile are in something of a period of transition after numerous retirements being announced while Paul O'Connell is out injured.
Donncha O'Callaghan, a replacement against Ulster, comes into the side for the injured O'Connell in an otherwise unchanged pack.
In the backs, Ian Keatley, a late withdrawal last weekend, replaces Scott Deasy at fly-half, while no surprise that a fit again Keith Earls in named at 13 with Ivan Dineen on the bench.
Ronan O'Gara has been named among the replacements after coming through training on Wednesday unscathed and Dave Kilcoyne is preferred to Marcus Horan in the number 17.
Meanwhile, Tandy has made his decision on the scrum-half dilemma and chosen Samoan Kahn Fotuali'i ahead of young Welshman Rhys Webb for the big clash. And Tandy, who is doing a fine job since assuming the position, is braced for a typically Munster performance.
"Munster will be coming to the Liberty with a winning mentality as they always do, wherever they play, whoever the opposition and whatever the game. They're a tough bunch, steely edged, with the knowhow and experience to win tight games and they won't be contemplating losing. You can guarantee that much," he told the Ospreys' official website.
"For us, it's a great game to host at the Liberty after having to go away to Munster at this stage last season and we're really looking forward to the challenge. The team have worked hard to get us into the position over the last couple of months and they've been rewarded with a home semi, but now they have to start all over again. It's a one off game and results in the run-up don't matter now, it's all about who comes out on top on Friday night.
"It's going to be a tough old battle between two teams who know each other very well, two teams who will have to slug it out to get control out there, but it should be a tight, edgy affair as games between the Ospreys and Munster always are. We'll have our home support behind us and they'll have an important part to play as well, as we'll need to make full use of every advantage we can get."
Form: Ospreys and Munster have both reached the Play-Offs for a third successive year, with Ospreys going on to become champions in 2010 and the Munster last season. Ospreys have won their last five RaboDirect PRO12 encounters and have been defeated just once at Liberty Stadium in the tournament this season: in round 17 to Glasgow. Ospreys only loss to an Irish province this season was 14-15 to Ulster at Ravenhill on 24 February. Munster are unbeaten in their last three, and have lost only once on the road in any competition in 2012: 17-21 at Aironi in round 14 of the PRO12. The Munstermen are unbeaten in their last five encounters with Welsh regions in all competitions. The two sides met at this same stage last season, where Munster won 18-11 at Thomond Park. The Munstermen have won twice before at Liberty Stadium: 25-21 in January 2009 and 22-20 in April 2011.
Ones to watch:
For Ospreys: In what could be his last game at Liberty Stadium – depending on the result in the other RaboDirect PRO12 semi-final – Shane Williams has made something of a habit out of going out with a bang. For Wales, he scored in his last Test late on while he also went over for the Ospreys in what could have been his last game in black a couple of weeks ago. Therefore, all eyes will be on the wing again as he looks to further extend his playing career.
For Munster: IRUPA Young Player of the Year, Peter O'Mahony has made a name for himself this season and is expected to be on the plane for New Zealand for their upcoming Tests. The back-row is a busy player and while he will be a vital cog in the Munster side, Ronan O'Gara's importance once again cannot be underplayed. If the fly-half can get the upper hand on Dan Biggar and put his side in the right areas, then Munster have a shot.
Prediction: We are backing the Welsh for this one. Ospreys by 6!
The teams:
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Hanno Dirksen, 13 Andrew Bishop, 12 Ashley Beck, 11 Shane Williams, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i, 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Justin Tipuric, 6 Ryan Jones, 5 Ian Evans, 4 Alun-Wyn Jones, 3 Adam Jones, 2 Richard Hibbard, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Scott Baldwin, 17 Ryan Bevington, 18 Aaron Jarvis, 19 James King, 20 Tom Smith, 21 Rhys Webb, 22 Matthew Morgan, 23 Tom Isaacs.
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Johne Murphy, 13 Keith Earls, 12 Lifeimi Mafi, 11 Simon Zebo, 10 Ian Keatley, 9 Conor Murray, 8 Peter O'Mahony, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 Donnacha Ryan, 5 Mick O'Driscoll, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 BJ Botha, 2 Mike Sherry, 1 Wian du Preez.
Replacements: 16 Denis Fogarty, 17 Dave Kilcoyne, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Dave O'Callaghan, 20 Paddy Butler, 21 Tomas O'Leary, 22 Ronan O'Gara, 23 Ian Dineen.

The Bandy Bandy, Vermicella annulata, is instantly identifiable by the alternate black and white bands around the body. The mid-body scales are in 15 rows, the anal scale is divided and there are 10-30 divided subcaudal scales. Maximum length attained is a little over 60 cm.
Bandy BandyPhotographer: Peter Robertson / Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
Within Victoria the Bandy Bandy is restricted to northern areas, where it is now considered rare.
A nocturnal, burrowing species, the Bandy Bandy is rarely encountered. It feeds exclusively on blind snakes (Typhlopidae) and has been known to swallow specimens as large as itself. Females lay up to 13 eggs in a clutch. While venomous, it is not considered dangerous to adults. If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continual direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound as the venom can confirm the identification of the snake.

Hi Nathan,
We forwarded your question to Museum Victoria's Live Exhibits team who provided us with the following information:
As Bandy Bandy's feed exclusively on Blind snakes, it will be almost impossible to lure the snake out of hiding. They are primarily nocturnal, so actively searching at night is probably the best option. The Bandy Bandy has a small mouth and a gentle temperament and is reluctant to bite, but because it is venomous you may like to consider a professional snake catcher to remove it.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
I have noticed the Black Slug in my garden in Mt George SA (Bridgewater) so far I have collected about 1/2 dozen.
I put them in a bucket of water with a squirt...

Did You Know? Countdown to Rosh Hashanah (09/04)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Rosh Hashanah &
the Jewish High Holy Days
Sept 04 : 04 days to Rosh Hashanah*
Did you know that Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the only Jewish holidays that are purely religious?
Unlike other major festivals such as Sukkot and Passover (Pesach), Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are not tied to historical or agricultural events.
Rosh Hashanah begins a 10 day period, known as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im, a time of penitence and prayer that ends with Yom Kippur. Jews worldwide are given these 10 days to repent for their sins and ask G-d for forgiveness.
We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish High Holy Days. Please join us!
*Rosh Hashanah 5771 begins at sundown on Wednesday September 08, 2010.
