A goanna is any of several Australian monitor lizards of the genus Varanus, as well as to certain species from Southeast Asia.
Around 30 species of goanna are known, 25 of which are found in Australia. This varied group of carnivorous reptiles range greatly in size and fill several ecological niches.[1]
The goanna features prominently in Aboriginal mythology and Australian folklore.
Characteristics Being predatory lizards, goannas are often quite large, or at least bulky, with sharp teeth and claws. The largest is the perentie (V. giganteus), which can grow over 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in length.
Not all goannas are gargantuan. Pygmy goannas may be smaller than a man's arm. The smallest of these, the short-tailed monitor (Varanus brevicuda) reaches only 20 cm in length. They survive on smaller prey, such as insects and mice.
Goannas combine predatory and scavenging behaviours. A goanna will prey upon any animal it can catch and is small enough to eat whole. Goannas have been blamed for the death of sheep by farmers, though most likely erroneously, as goannas are also eaters of carrion and are attracted to rotting meat.
Most goannas are dark in colouration, whites, greys browns, blacks and greens featuring prominently. Many desert-dwelling species also feature yellow-red tones. Camouflage ranges from bands and stripes to splotches, speckles, and circles, and can change as the creature matures, with juveniles sometimes being brighter than adults.
Like most lizards, goannas lay eggs. Most lay eggs in a nest or burrow, but some species lay their eggs inside termite mounds. This offers protection and incubation; additionally, the termites may provide a meal for the young as they hatch. Unlike some other species of lizards, goannas do not have the ability to regrow limbs or tails.
Goannas are found throughout most of Australia, except for Tasmania, and manage to persist in a variety of environments. Most species are known to climb trees or outcrops; several primarily arboreal species are known. The lace monitor (V. varius) is probably the best-known amongst these, but is not the most common. The lace monitor is the second-largest of all goannas, reaching lengths of up to 2 m. Other more common tree goannas, such as the Timor tree monitor (V. timorensis) and mournful tree monitor (V. tristis) do not grow to quite such lengths, averaging only a few feet nose-to-tail.
Other goannas are adapted to swampy coastal environments, such as the mangrove goanna (V. semiremex). Further still, the Mertens' water monitor (water goanna – V. mertensi), found in lagoons and rivers across northern Australia, is streamlined for swimming, using its tail as a paddle. Most other goannas are good swimmers, but tend not to voluntarily venture into the water.
The diets of goannas vary greatly depending on the species and the habitat. Prey can include all manner of small animals: insects, smaller lizards, snakes, mammals, birds, and eggs.
Meals are often eaten whole, thus the size of their meals may depend on the size of the animals. Many of the small species feed mostly on insects, with some being small lizard experts. Many of the medium to large species will feed on whatever prey items they can catch. This includes eggs, fish (V. mertensi), birds, snails, smaller lizards, snakes, marsupials, and other small mammals, such as rodents. The giant perentie has been observed killing a young kangaroo, and then biting out chunks of flesh like a dog.
All species are carrion eaters, so will feed on the carcasses of dead animals, including livestock and other large creatures.[2][3] The smell of rotting meat will attract these lizards.[citation needed]
Goannas and humans[edit]
Like most native fauna, goannas are rather wary of human intrusions into their habitat, and will most likely run away (into the scrub, up a tree, or into the water, depending on the species). A goanna is a rather swift mover, and when pressed, will sprint short distances on its hind legs.
Goannas also rear up when threatened, either chased or cornered, and also inflate flaps of skin around their throats and emit harsh hissing noises.
Some goannas recover from their initial fear of humans, especially when food is involved (or food has been involved previously). This reinforces the wildlife authority's recommendation of not feeding animals while camping or adventuring, but most authorities doubt a goanna will actually direct an intentional attack at a human unless the human attempts to attack it (or grasp at it) first. Aborigines who hunt goannas for food consider the perentie as a high-risk (but tasty) prey.
The debate on whether goannas are venomous or not is growing. Previously, the incessant bleeding caused by goanna bites was thought to be the result of bacterial infection. A recent study[4] suggests monitor lizards (including goannas) are venomous and have oral toxin-producing glands.
The goanna's hefty tail can be dangerous when swung, much like a crocodile's; small children and dogs have been knocked down by such attacks. Often, victims in goanna attacks are bystanders, watching the person antagonising the goanna.[citation needed] Alarmed goannas can mistake standing humans for trees and attempt to climb off the ground to safety, which is understandably painful, as well as distressing for both man and beast.[citation needed]
Goannas are protected species throughout Australia.
Culture and folklore[edit]
Goannas have a prominent place in the culture of indigenous Australians. This includes totemic relationships, anthropomorphic representations in dreamtime stories, and as a food source.
Representations of goannas are common in indigenous artwork, not just as food, but also as a symbolic spiritual motif. Goannas and the mighty perentie are often considered two different animals when used in aboriginal works, as illustrated by the story "How the Goanna and Perentie got their Colours".[5]
European settlers perpetuated several old wives' tales about goanna habits and abilities; some of these have persisted in modern folklore amongst campers and bushmen. This includes the above-mentioned exaggeration of goannas dragging off sheep from shepherds' flocks in the night. These might even be exaggerated into child-snatching, rivalling drop bears (attack koalas) as a tourist scarer, probably more convincing due to the reptiles' carnivorous nature and fearsome appearance.
A common tale was that the bite of a goanna was infused with a powerful, incurable venom. Every year after the bite (or every seven years), the wound would flare up again. For many years, herpetologists generally believed goannas were nonvenomous, and lingering illness from their bites was due solely to infection and septicaemia as a result of their saliva being rife with bacteria from carrion and other food sources. However, in 2005, researchers at the University of Melbourne announced that oral venom glands had been found in both goannas and iguanas.[6]
Because the goanna regularly eats snakes (often involving a fierce struggle between the two), they are often said to be immune to snake venom. The goanna does eat venomous snakes, but no evidence found suggests actual poison immunity. Other stories say the lizard eats a legendary plant, or drinks from a healing spring which neutralises the poison. This is immortalised in Banjo Paterson's humorous poem "Johnson's Antidote".
Possibly related to the above poison immunity, goanna fat or oil has been anecdotally imbued with mystical healing properties. Aborigines traditionally used goanna oil as an important bush medicine, and it also became a common medicine among whites in Australia's early days. Said to be a cure-all, and possessing amazing powers of penetration (passing through metal as if it were not there), it was sold amongst early settlers like snake oil in the Old West of North America.
In popular culture[edit]
Joanna the Goanna was featured in the movie The Rescuers Down Under as the cohort of poacher McLeach; she was a Spencer's goanna. A goanna was also voiced by African-American actor Tone-Loc in FernGully: The Last Rainforest. Goannas appear as enemies in the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series by Krome Studios.
Indigenous Australian rugby league footballer Greg Inglis had a signature try celebration resembling a goanna.[7]
The name goanna might have been derived from iguana, as early European settlers likened goannas to the South American lizards. Over time, the initial vowel sound was dropped. A similar explanation is used to link possum to the American opossum.
Another possibility is the name might have been derived from the South African term for a monitor lizard, leguaan, as the Cape of Good Hope was a popular refresher stop for immigrant ships to Australia from Britain.

Monitor lizard
Monitor lizards are generally large lizards, although some can be as small as 20 cm (7.9 in) in length. A total of 73 species are currently recognized; however, given that several species-groups are in need of taxonomic review, this number is certain to be increased with future research. They have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs. Most species are terrestrial, but arboreal and semiaquatic monitors are also known. While most monitor lizards are carnivorous, three arboreal species, Varanus bitatawa, Varanus mabitang, and Varanus olivaceus, are primarily frugivores.[1][2] They are oviparous, laying from seven to 37 eggs, which they often cover with soil or protect in a hollow tree stump. Most species of monitor lizard have a predominantly carnivorous diet, eating eggs, smaller reptiles, fish, birds and small mammals. Some species of monitor lizard also eat fruit and vegetation depending on where they live.[3]
The various species cover a vast area, occurring through Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, to China, down Southeast Asia to Indonesia, the Philippines, New Guinea, Australia and islands of the Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea. A large concentration of monitor lizards occurs on Tioman Island in the Malaysian state of Pahang. Some are now found in South Florida, particularly in the Everglades, where they are becoming a dangerous threat to cattle and to other wildlife, including even alligators.
Monitor lizards differ greatly from other lizards in several ways, possessing a relatively high metabolic rate for reptiles, and several sensory adaptations that benefit the hunting of live prey. Recent research indicates the varanid lizards may have some venom.[4] This discovery of venom in monitor lizards, as well as in agamid lizards, led to the Toxicofera hypothesis: that all venomous lizards and snakes share a common venomous ancestor.[5]
During the late Cretaceous era, monitor lizards or their close relatives are believed to have evolved into amphibious and then fully marine forms, the mosasaurs, which reached lengths of up to 17 m.
Snakes were believed to be more closely related to monitor lizards than any other type of extant reptile; however, it has been more recently proposed that snakes are the sister group of the clade of iguanians and anguimorphs.[5] Like snakes, monitor lizards have forked tongues which they use to sense odors.[6]
During the Pleistocene epoch, giant monitor lizards lived in Southeast Asia and Australasia, the best known fossil being the megalania (Varanus priscus unless it falls in its own genus, in which case it is Megalania prisca). This species is an iconic member of the Pleistocene megafauna of Australia.
Some monitor lizards, including the Komodo dragon, are capable of parthenogenesis.[7]
The generic name Varanus is derived from the Arabic word waral ورل, (alternative word waran). The name comes from a common Semitic root ouran, waran, or waral, meaning "lizard".[8] The occasional habit of varanids to stand on their two hind legs and to appear to "monitor" their surroundings has been suggested to have led to this name, as it was Latinized into Varanus. Its common name is derived from the Latin word monere meaning "to warn".[8]
In Austronesia where varanids are common, they are known under a large number of local names. They are usually known as biawak (Malay and Indonesian), bayawak (Filipino), binjawak or minjawak (Javanese), or variations thereof. Other names include hokai (Solomon Islands), bwo or puo (Maluku), halo (Cebu), galuf of kaluf (Micronesia and the Caroline Islands), batua or butaan (Luzon), alu (Bali), hora or ghora (Komodo group of islands), phut (Burmese) and guibang (Manobo).[9][10]
In Tamil and Malayalam, monitor lizards are known as udumbu, ghorpad घोरपड in Marathi, uda in Kannada, in Sinhalese as kabaragoya, in Telugu as udumu, in Punjabi and Magahi (and other Bihari languages) as goh, in Assamese as gui xaap, and in Bengali as goshaap or guishaap and गोह (goh) in Hindi. Due to confusion with the large New World lizards of the family Iguanidae, the lizards became known as "goannas" in Australia. Similarly, in South Africa, they are referred to as leguaan, or likkewaan from the Dutch for iguana. The generic name inspired the name of the Japanese movie monster Varan.
Varanid lizards are very intelligent, and some species can even count.[11] Careful studies feeding V. albigularis at the San Diego Zoo varying numbers of snails showed they can distinguish numbers up to six.[11][12] V. niloticus lizards have been observed to cooperate when foraging.[11] One varanid lures the female crocodile away from her nest, while the other opens the nest to feed on the eggs.[11] The decoy then returns to also feed on the eggs.[11][12] Komodo dragons, V. komodoensis, at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., recognize their keepers and seem to have distinct personalities.[12]
In captivity[edit]
Monitor lizards have become a staple in the reptile pet trade. The most commonly kept monitors are the savannah monitor and Ackies monitor, due to their relatively small size, low cost, and relatively calm dispositions with regular handling.[8] Black throated monitors, white throated monitors, water monitors, Nile monitors, mangrove monitors, emerald tree monitors, black tree monitors, acanthurus monitors, quince monitors, crocodile monitors and Komodo dragons have been kept in captivity.[8] Like all reptiles kept as pets, monitors need an appropriately sized enclosure, hiding places, and an appropriate substrate.[8] Some water monitors also need a large water dish in which they can soak their entire bodies.[8] In the wild, monitors will eat anything they can overpower, but crickets, superworms, feeder fish, and the occasional rodent (for calcium) make up most of the smaller captive monitors' diets. Boiled eggs, silkworms, and earthworms can also be fed to them.[8] Larger species, such as Nile monitors, Asian water monitors, crocodile monitors, perenties, and Komodo dragons, will eventually require larger prey. Paleontologist and biology professor at Temple University, Michael Balsai has observed V. prasinus eating fruit in captivity, as has herpetologist and author, Robert G. Sprackland.[8][13]
Monitor lizard meat, particularly the tongue and liver, is eaten in parts of southern India and Malaysia as an aphrodisiac.[14][15]
In parts of Pakistan, different parts of monitor lizards are used for a variety of medical purposes. The flesh is eaten for relief of rheumatic pain, abdominal fat is used as a salve for skin infections, oil and fat are used to treat hemorrhoids or chronic pain, and the oil is used as an aphrodesiac lubricant.[16]
"Large scale exploitation" of monitor lizards is undertaken for their skins, which are described as being "of considerable utility" in the leather industry.[16]
The meat of monitor lizards are eaten by some tribes in Pakistan,[16] India, Thailand and in West Africa as a supplemental meat source.[citation needed]
The reproductive organs of monitor lizards are used in "black magic" in parts of Pakistan.[16]
Protected status[edit]
All but five species of monitor lizard are classified by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora under Appendix II, which is loosely defined as species that are not necessarily threatened with extinction, but may become so unless trade in such species is subject to strict regulation order to avoid use incompatible with the survival of the species in the wild. The remaining five species - V. bengalensis, V. flavescens, V. griseus, V. komodoensis, and V. nebulosus - are classified under CITES Appendix I, which outlaws international commercial trade in the species.[17]
In Tamil Nadu and all other parts of South India, catching or killing of monitor lizards is banned under the Protected Species Act.

Leslie Gadd has attempted murder charge dropped after pleading guilty to lesser charges
- From: The Courier-Mail
- October 31, 2012
A MAN with possible links to an outlaw motorcycle gang has had a charge of attempting to murder a man shot during a violent Sunshine Coast home invasion dropped.
Leslie David Gadd, 43, on Wednesday plead guilty in the Brisbane Supreme Court to a number of charges relating to a violent attack in which Jason Enrique Gravestein, 30, was shot in the leg at Little Mountain on April 9, 2011.
Gadd was scheduled to proceed to a trial on the charge of attempted murder, with lawyers for Gadd asking witnesses be directed to make any mention in their evidence about him having links to a bikie gang.
Barrister Simone Bain, for Gadd, asked Justice James Douglas to direct jurors make no reference to items of clothing, worn by club members, or to membership of a gang.
The Courier-Mail understands the gang being referred to was a chapter of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.
However, after a brief adjournment, Gadd pleaded guilty to counts of malicious act with intent, burglary with violence and armed, armed robbery in company with violence and assault causing bodily harm while armed and in company.
Prosecutor Philip McCarthy said the Crown accepted the pleas of guilty in full discharge of the indictment and entered a nolle prosequi, meaning the discontinuance, on the charge of attempted murder.
Ms Bain requested Gadd's sentencing hearing be adjourned so that medical reports could be obtained for her client.
Justice Douglas ordered Gadd be remanded in custody for sentence next week.

Happy Ending
In the 21st Century, becoming a Disney princess might not be as glamorous as the children's books made it seem. Nowadays, Snow White would be elbow-deep in dish soap washing up after seven dwarves, and Alice would be baking all kinds of mind-altering (but gluten-free) goodies to pass the time. Just ask local South Florida artist Sarah Michelle Rupert. She brought these fairy tales to life in her "In Search of Ever After" exhibit at the Art and Culture Center. Rupert's photography captures the mundane translation of pop-culture expectations in the present. She challenges the consensus propagated by children's literature and film in the mass media. It's not quite a smear campaign, but after taking your 4-year-old niece a few times around the exhibit, she might think twice before demanding to be Cinderella next Halloween (especially if that means sweeping dust and talking to rodents). After all, Amelia Earhart would be a much cooler costume. The Art and Culture Center of Hollywood is located at 1650 Harrison St. in Hollywood. Admission is $7 for adults, $4 for children under 17. The exhibit runs until January 12. Call 954-921-3274, or visit artandculturecenter.org.
Tuesdays-Fridays, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 12-4 p.m. Starts: Nov. 8. Continues through Jan. 12, 2013

London 2012: Olympic cultural events in Caernarfon and Ebbw Vale
- 2 July 2012
- From the section Wales
Young people in Caernarfon have kicked off a month of artistic celebrations at the Gwynedd town's historic castle as part of the Cultural Olympiad.
The event, called Cipio'r Castell, demonstrated what the fortress meant to them and saw hundreds join a procession from Castle Square to the castle.
It is one of a number of events being held ahead of the Olympics.
In Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent, a plane converted to an art space for the London 2012 Festival , also arrived.
It formed part of a nocturnal Ghost Parade on Sunday evening to mark 10 years since the closure of the steelworks in the town.
In Caernarfon, visitors to the castle will be offered a glimpse of unique artworks arranged around the site over the next month.
Young people in the town have been working with local artists to develop the pieces of artwork, which include an exhibition of graffiti, sound installations, kaleidoscopes, tepees, animation and film.
Cipio'r Castell is one of eight Couldrons & Furnaces , which celebrate Welsh history at a series of events at castles, palaces and industrial sites in the build-up to the Olympics.
About 17,000 young people and artists are taking part in the performances as part of the Cultural Olympiad at sites run by Cadw, the Welsh government's historic environment service until 17 July.
Gwawr Wyn Roberts, Gwynedd council's community arts development officer, who is supporting the Cauldrons & Furnaces project, said: "This is a community project which engages young people from Arfon and Mon in a colourful programme of arts activity.
"Many different groups including the Youth Justice Service, local schools and community organisations have been working under the guidance of professional artists to deliver this exciting and innovative celebration of our heritage."
Meanwhile, in Ebbw Vale, the parade took place at dusk and retraced the route steelworkers marched ten years ago when the works closed.
The transformed DC09 aeroplane was towed along the route of the parade from Ebbw Vale leisure centre to the General Offices at The Works.
The Adain Avion, which comes from the wreck of an abandoned aeroplane in Spain, has been created by Welsh artist Marc Rees, who won the £230,000 commission for Wales which is being funded by organisations including the Welsh government and Blaenau Gwent council.
As well as visiting Ebbw Vale, the wingless plane has stopped at Swansea and will also head to Llandudno and the National Eisteddfod at Llandow.
An archive containing material from all the events will then be kept in Adain Avion's black box at the National History Museum in Cardiff.

Freedom of Expression on Internet
UNESCO recognizes that the Internet holds enormous potential for development. It provides an unprecedented volume of resources for information and knowledge and opens up new opportunities for expression and participation. UNESCO assumes its responsibility of promoting freedom of expression on Internet and has integrated it to its regular program. The principle of freedom of expression must apply not only to traditional media but also to the Internet and all types of emerging media platforms which will definitely contribute to development, democracy and dialogue.
With growing access to information in cyberspace, there is a raise of limit of access and information in cyberspace, done by a variety of actors which have diverse goals and values. In addition to Internet's transborder feature, there are so many factors shaping the level of free expression on Internet, and there exist various policy approaches which have implication on freedom of expression. The real challenge is to fully exploit the potential of new media while not compromising civil liberties, including the right to freedom of expression, to education and also to privacy.
UNESCO seeks to trigger discussion on a wide range of issues related to Internet freedom at global, regional and national levels. UNESCO takes the responsibility to explore the changing legal and regulatory framework of Internet and provide member states with policy recommendations aiming to foster a conducive environment to freedom of expression on the net.
UNESCO has organized a series of workshops in past WSIS Forum and Internet Governance Forum meetings since 2006 to trigger debates on freedom of expression and privacy protection.
UNESCO published a pioneering standard-setting report on Internet freedom titled "Freedom of Connection – Freedom of Expression: The Changing Legal and Regulatory Ecology Shaping the Internet".

Matt Kenseth finished first in a wild race at the repaved Kansas Speedway on Sunday to complete a weekend sweep for Roush Yates engines with winners in the ARCA Series on Friday, NASCAR Nationwide Series on Saturday, and Sprint Cup Series on Sunday.
Kenseth took the checkered flag at Kansas Speedway to earn his second win in just three races and the 24th of his career. In what turned out to be a track-record of 14 cautions, Kenseth and the No. 17 team avoided wrecks and came back from a mid-race incident with the wall to take the win.
"It was an up and down day and our Zest Ford Fusion was pretty darn good. It was really fast today," said Kenseth in Victory Lane. "There was no grip on the bottom when you didn't have air on the car. If we were in single file, the bottom was the better place to be but to get rolling I wanted the outside and we had so much Roush Yates FR9 horsepower I could get going through the gears and clear them."
Kenseth's win moves him to ninth in the standings with four races remaining in the race for the Championship.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rallied from two laps down to win the Kansas Lottery 300 at Kansas Speedway on Saturday. Stenhouse's win was a long shot after slamming into the No. 18 of Joey Logano just after the halfway point, but a green-white-checkered finish gave him the opportunity to surge past Kyle Busch for the victory.
"The guys did an awesome job getting the car back together, and we never gave up," said Stenhouse. "Mike Kelley made great calls and adjustments to fix how the car drove with the damage, and it was still one of the fastest cars out there."
Stenhouse's sixth win of the season moves him to within six points of championship leader Elliott Sadler.
Chris Buescher finished eighth in the ARCA Racing Series finale on Friday night at Kansas Speedway to clinch the season title. Buescher edged Frank Kimmel by 75 points and had four victories on the season with his No. 17 Ford owned by Roulo Brothers Racing.
"This is definitely exciting," said Buescher. "It's going to take a little while for this one to sink in. Hats off to the Roulo Brothers, Roush Fenway, and Roush Yates engines for all their help this season."
Perhaps one of the most impressive stats about Buescher's season is that he is the only driver to run every single lap in the ARCA Racing Series' 60 year history.

- Let's talk about the Dresden Dolls for a moment. Even the name is depressing. Highlights include about ninety percent of their debut album (listen to the lyrics of "Half-Jack" closely and marvel at what you're hearing), "Delilah," "Sing" (which manages to be both one of the most somber songs ever written and one of the most triumphant), and "Me & the Minibar," the last line of which will make your jaw drop with depression overload. Imagine something so depressing you can't help but laugh and dial it back exactly enough to keep it completely serious.
- "The Point of it All" from Amanda Palmer's solo album, Who Killed Amanda Palmer? "But no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll/and you're aces for coming along/you're almost human, after all..."
- Obnoxious title aside, "Strength Through Music" can still make some people bawl. How many songs are there about school shooters? How many artistic works in any medium that make you pity them?
- Made somewhat narmful if you know that the sample in the beginning is from Stringberg and Helium, however.
- The cover of "What's the Use of Wond'rin'?" puts the song in a whole new (and disturbing) perspective.
- Pretty much the entire album of Who Killed Amanda Palmer? counts. It was produced by Ben Folds, for whom this trope may be an actual superpower.
- Obnoxious title aside, "Strength Through Music" can still make some people bawl. How many songs are there about school shooters? How many artistic works in any medium that make you pity them?
- "Trout Heart Replica" a song Amanda wrote while on tour after seeing a dead trout's still beating heart, at several shows when she played this, the entire audience was in tears.
- Named after a Captain Beefheart song, fyi.
- This blog post, written in the aftermath of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. If Mrs. Palmer's tour was on time, she would have been right at ground zero. The tone, the content, the links to the NZ Red Cross, the poem at the end... well, it can really get you sobbing.
- Off of the new collaboration, 8in8, we have "Because the Origami," a duet between Ben Folds and her about a runaway son. Grab a box of tissues, and take a listen.
- The final verse of Amanda's parody of Friday.
- "The Bed Song". This troper's never heard it, but just reading the lyrics makes her sob.
- Trust me: As someone who has heard it, the music makes it even sadder.
- The music video just makes it more so
- This may be a bit of a given, considering the song, but her cover of 'Hurt' is heart wrenching.
- "Coin Operated Boy". It is about a girl who wants a coin-operated boy because she has grown bitter after several failed relationships.
- "The Thing About Things".
- "A Poem for Dzhokar" because a lot of people outside the Amanda Palmer fandom mistook it for a poem that did Cry for the Devil. The poem itself is quite sad, with stream of consciousness lines that question how can an ordinary person do such a terrible thing like bomb the Boston City Marathon.
- "Bigger on the Inside". Written after the backlash from "A Poem for Dzhokar," where Amanda talks about the hurt from the aftermath, especially "Youd think Id learn my lesson/ From the way they keep on testing/My capacity for pain/And my resolve to not get violent".
- Anthony Martignetti's death. Amanda loses her best friend and mentor and blogs about it.
"It's a boy, by the way.We found out.It's a boy."
- Especially poignant is that her at-the-time unborn child continually kicked during Anthony's final days and hours. When introducing the child to a friend shortly after Anthony passed on, the friend greets it with "Hello, little Anthony." Thus, Amanda and Neil knew what to call their son.
- Piggy-backing off of that, "A Mother's Confession" is a 10 minute song about all her fears about being a mother, the biggest of which is that her child will die.
Tear Jerker / Amanda Palmer
aka: Dresden Dolls
Amanda Palmer, be it with or without The Dresden Dolls, can make some pretty sad songs.

open/close all folders
Yogi Bear
- Voiced by: Daws Butler (19581988), Greg Burson (19881999), Jeff Bergman (1990s commercials), Billy West (1990s commercials), Stephen Worth ("Boo Boo Runs Wild", "Boo Boo and the Man"), Dan Aykroyd (2010 live-action film)
- Breakout Character: Originally appeared as a skit for The Huckleberry Hound Show before branching off and eclipsing Huck in popularity.
- Catch Phrase: "I'm smarter than the average bear!"
- Green-Eyed Monster: Yogi can be rather wary to Cindy's advances, but should she set her eyes on someone else, he will suddenly become rather territorial.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Boo Boo.
- Hyperaffixation: He calls picnic baskets "pic-a-nic baskets".
- Karma Houdini: Yeah Yogi's a nice guy overall, but he still often gets off scot free for the mayhem he causes in the park. It's not always a guarantee however, and being a slapstick character, he's destined to be The Chew Toy every now and then. The most notable exception to this is in "A Bear Pair," which ends with Ranger Smith chasing after Yogi while repeatedly clobbering him over the head with a baseball bat. Not because Yogi was breaking any park rules or steeling any picnic baskets, but because he gave America a bad name amongst the French.
- Lovable Rogue: Yogi's a thief and a troublemaker, but easy going and rarely means actual harm. The occasions he isn't in his routine of stealing pic-a-nic baskets he is an outright protagonist helping friends or solving mysteries.
Boo-Boo Bear
- Voiced by: Don Messick (19581994), Jeff Bergman (1990s commercials), Billy West (1990s commercials), John Kricfalusi ("Boo Boo Runs Wild", "A Day in the Life of Ranger Smith", "Boo Boo and the Man"), Tom Kenny ("Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law"), Justin Timberlake (2010 live-action film)
- Bow Ties Are Cool: You might say he dressed more stylishly than the average bear.
- Catch Phrase: "Mister Ranger isn't gonna like this, Yogi!"
- Not So Above It All: "Boo Boo Runs Wild" takes his usual role as the Only Sane Man and deconstructs it to abnormal levels.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Yogi.
- Straight Man: To Yogi, usually.
- Vague Age: Most people think of him as a short adult, while others, including John Kricfalusi (Boo Boo Runs Wild) see him as a kid.
Ranger John Francis Smith
- Voiced by: Don Messick (19581994), Greg Burson ("Yo Yogi!"), Corey Burton (Spümcø shorts, Tom Cavanagh (2010 live-action film)
- Catch Phrase: "YOGIIII!"
- Control Freak: John Kricfalusi depicts Ranger Smith as a somewhat neurotic fanatic, obsessed with placing rules and restrictions in almost everything in the forest.John Kricfalusi: I think the story works well for these HB characters, because that's what the whole Yogi Bear series was about. Ranger Smith was always Man butting his nose into the wilderness and making its legitimate occupants obey unnatural laws. This basic conflict made the whole concept of the Yogi Bear show funny to me and your average Joes because we can all identify with the situation.
- A Day in the Limelight: John Kricfalusi created two cartoons starring Smith (even though one of them was more about Boo-Boo), and the Live-Action Adaptation is a Human-Focused Adaptation.
- Depending on the Artist: Ranger Smith's design was inconsistent throughout most of the original show until Hey There, It's Yogi Bear finalized it. Parodied in the Spumco shorts, where he inexplicably switches through his various forms from shot to shot.
- Friendly Enemy: He has been shown to get along with Yogi when the bear isn't causing trouble. In spin offs such as Yogi's Treasure Hunt they are consistent allies.
- Hero Antagonist: He has to be the one to stop Yogi from stealing people's food.
- On One Condition: He once inherited a fortune but had to live in the mansion he inherited. When he got word about Yogi's health condition, he returned to the park.
- Only Sane Man: While often a somewhat pompous authority figure, his contempt towards Yogi is usually provoked.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: While he understandably does not approve of Yogi causing mayhem and stealing pic-a-nic baskets, he isn't a bad guy, and can be quite nice to Yogi when he's behaving. There are even a few occasions where he actually encourages Yogi to steal a picnic basket or two.
- Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist: On occasion, he has overzealous moments, especially under John Kricfalusi's pen, usually he just tries, and fails, to make Yogi to behave.
Cindy Bear
- Voiced by: Julie Bennett (19611988), Janet Waldo ("Yogi's First Christmas"), Kath Soucie ("Yo Yogi!"), Mary Ellen Thomas ("Boo Boo Runs Wild")
- Ascended Extra: Cindy only appeared in a handful of episodes from the original show. She is a regular in most revivals and makes frequent appearances in spin-offs (she is among the few supporting characters to compete in the Laff-A-Lympics and has a leading role in Yo Yogi!).
- Depending on the Artist: Cindy's original design was basically Yogi with a dress and blue fur. Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! gave her a more feminine design with light brown fur that became definitive (though her blue color scheme reappears in odd instances such as the Spumco shorts).
- Little Miss Snarker: Her Yo Yogi! incarnation is much more temperamental and sarcastic.
- The Smurfette Principle: The fact she is one of very few female characters representing the early Hanna Barbera works may have played part into her prominence in spin offs. She is the only female in The Yogi Yahooeys team in Laff-A-Lympics for example.
- Southern Belle: Well, she certainly sounds like one.

Setup of a DNS Server with Dynamic Updates
Today the need for dynamic reconfiguration of IP addresses increases. This is mostly
due to the increased mobility among Internet connected devices. The purpose of the
project was to develop a solution for dynamic DNS with updates initiated by the client. There are already various commercial solutions available today, but they have some
limitations. The goal was to implement a system based on already available components
with only minor adaptations. This report describes an implementation based on a
RADIUS server (FreeRADIUS), which is accessed through a web interface
(daloRADIUS). The authentication process is secured by a server certificate. Due to
time constraints the implemented result should be considered as an early prototype. The conclusion of the project is that the concept works and that it is possible with some effort to solve the problem in a relatively simple way.

Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)

Take a seat
Milwaukee's historic house museums are offering patrons a seat at their annual fundraising event Wednesday. And, afterward — guests can take the chairs with them. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

Mind Maps
Mind Mapping as Instructional Guide :: YES! leave ample space in planner for…
tudiouhs: chem mind map + bullet journal spread from yesterday
My first attempt at making a mind-map. I don't know if I did it right because it doesn't really look like any of the mind-maps I've seen before lol (any tips on how to make mind-maps would be appreciated!)
Working on this 'prose and themes' mindmap this evening, really trying to build up a strong knowledge of my wider reading in a thematic way leading up to the exam in June

A huge amount of things are better than being rejected. When you summon up the bravery to ask somebody out on the town and they turn you down, it harms. You laid it all in question, got told no, and in any event for a brief moment needed to swear off dating until the end of time.
Take a full breath. Rejection will never be a cakewalk, however there are solid approaches to respond when you listen "no" that keep your admiration, and your companionship, in place.
Fight the temptation to freeze. Do whatever it takes not to get furious or lash out, in the moment or a short time later, paying little mind to the sum you need to. It's not somebody's deficiency If they're not keen on you, and it's not your flaw If you have affections for them. In both cases, it's simply the way it is and no one owes anybody anything. Take continuous alone time if need be, and then come back to the kinship when you're prepared to acknowledge the circumstance.
Maintain a strategic distance from "over it" pointless abundance. Fellowship is a precarious thing after release. You would lean toward not to act like you're still into them, yet you likewise would favor not to attempt to indicate how "over it" you are. Acting like you're in a perfect circumstance is adolescent, conceivably dangerous, and may have all the earmarks of being deliberately endeavoring to induce desire. Take the more moral course.
Address the ponderousness. There's no genuine approach to keep away from it – being around somebody when you both know how you feel is uncomfortable. The most ideal approach to make that ponderousness vanish is to recognize it. It's okay to say things are still to some degree odd. You'll likely concur, have a snicker about it, and discharge a portion of the strain. Remember that: we for the most part take prompts from one another, so If you act ungainly around somebody, will likely act clumsy around you.
Really be a sidekick. Yes, the most ideal approach to keep a fellowship in place is to keep being a friend. That implies no grasping false trust, no inconsiderateness when they begin seeing another person, no steady indications of your sentiments, and no plans to rouse them to fall in love with you. You are just companions – act appropriately. One of the most ideal approaches to handle rejection is to go into it with the right outlook. Before asking somebody out on the town, set fitting desires. Keep your trusts and feelings to a sensible level. Remember that release is never a reflection on who you.
You know if you fail you could always find the best dating sites, and find women you won't reject you.

We are pleased to announce that there are two new releases of music featuring Nate's writing for large ensembles out now on the New Haven-based Firehouse 12 Records and Nate's own Pleasure of the Text Labels.
Seven Storey Mountain V
Seven Storey Mountain V is the fifth of seven evening length works that began with a Festival of New Trumpet commission in 2007. Recorded live at Abrons Art Center in New York City as part of the 2015 Tectonics NY festival, SSMV continues Wooley's idea of creating an ecstatic and communal music
that is non-religious and non-genre based. The massive collective group includes international stars from the jazz, new music, electronic, and noise worlds–working together to realize Wooley's singular musical vision. The group, which is the largest to date, features Wooley on amplified trumpet alongside C. Spencer Yeh and Samara Lubelski on amplified violins, Ben Vida on electronics, Ben Hall and Ryan Sawyer on percussion, Chris Dingman and Matt Moran on vibraphone, Colin Stetson, Josh Sinton, and Dan Peck on amplified reeds and brass, and the TILT Brass octet (Chris McIntyre, Gareth Flowers, Mike Gurfeld, Tim Leopold, Will Lang, Matt Melore, Jen Baker, and James Roger).
1. Seven Storey Mountain (49:23)
Nate Wooley: amplified trumpet, tape
Ben Vida: electronics
C. Spencer Yeh & Samara Lubelski: amplified violin
Colin Stetson: amplified bass saxophone
Josh Sinton: amplified contrabass clarinet
Dan Peck: amplified tuba
Ben Hall & Ryan Sawyer: drums
Chris Dingman & Matt Moran: vibraphone
TILT Brass Octet: Chris McIntyre (trombone, conductor), Gareth Flowers, Mike Gurfeld & Tim Leopold (trumpets), Will Lang, Matt Melore, Jen Baker & James Roger (trombones)
Recorded May 9, 2015 at Abrons Art Center, presented by Tectonics NY/Issue Project Room, NYC
Nate Wooley, trumpet
Ron Miles, cornet
Cory Smythe, piano
Jozef Dumoulin, Fender Rhodes and electronics
Rudy Royston, drums
Devin Gray, drums
Argonautica is a new project that combines elements of aleatoric and minimalist compositional aesthetics and forces them the prism of early fusion (when jazz/rock was dirty). Designed as an homage to Wooley's early trumpet hero, Ron Miles, Argonautica seeks to find a new way to tell a story begun on the latter's "My Cruel Heart" from the early 90s. The group is a double trio with Wooley and Miles on trumpets, new music firebrand Cory Smythe on piano, avant-electro keyboard whiz Jozef Dumoulin, and Rudy Royston and Devin Gray on drums. The compositions, written especially for this concert, set up swirling asymmetrical hockets and soundspaces that give flexibility to the musical personalities of each member of the band. It is an organism, moving in part or in toto, sometimes in two directions at once, but always with purpose.
It has just been announced that Nate Wooley is one of the recipients of the 2016 FCA Grants to Artists Awards. Foundation for Contemporary Arts is a non-profit organization founded in 1963 by John Cage and Jasper Johns and provides unsolicited help to musicians, poets, theater writers and performers, and choreographers. Alongside percussionist William Winant, composer Ashley Fure, and legendary vocalist Joan LaBarbara (who is this year's Cage awardee), Wooley will receive 40,000.00 to use for future work.
It is a great honor, and now begins the planning for what to do next.

Boards of education are a mature and tested institution in Ohio. School board members make policy; approve contracts with employees; choose curriculum; adopt budgets; and select a superintendent, treasurer and business manager to administer the district. They do all these tasks with the emphasis on what's best for the children they serve.
Being an effective school board member is no easy task, particularly in today's climate of change and challenge. School board members need to be knowledgeable about many complex education and social issues, and carry out initiatives and directives from both federal and state governments. To face these demands of governing our public schools, they give countless hours of personal time.

As we begin the new year, it is my pleasure to announce that we have once again selected Chasity Curton as Triad's leading art representative for the month of January! There is no student who has demonstrated greater effort and talent than Chasity. She is Triad's lead senior in the art program and one of the very few to have reached such a level of professional skill.
Chasity is our sole art level 4 senior. She is clearly taking her place among some of the best artists produced at Triad. Chasity is truly a passionate artist demonstrating the finest qualities in refinement, discipline, technique and expectation. I believe she is destined for greatness!
I am proud to call Chasity my student, as she is not just a great artist but a stellar person of positive character! Chasity brings out the best in her classmates. She recently earned a $42,000 scholarship to attend the prestigious Chicago School of Art and a $74,000 scholarship from Augsburg University to come and major in art there. Wow! Best of luck to this super young lady!

The ultimate standoff… The local skateboarders and I have a truce. I don't tell anyone they are using an empty high school as a skatepark, and they don't make a fuss about me using it as a dog park.
War waiting to happen. Both sides will end up defacing the battlegrounds, but the 'boarders won't leave stinky nitrogen bombs lying around behind them. I side with the 'boarders.
And no bikes or joggers.
And No Smoking and Stay Off The Grass.
and no trespassing! We want this park to remain pristine!
I side with the cyclists. Joggers take up too much room, and pedestrians won't keep to the side to let anyone get by them. Dogwalkers are just nasty. 'boarders are often nice people and willing to coexist with others. We need more cycling and 'boarding parks.
People on "vehicles" should show respect towards other pedestrians, but people with animals got even more of a case on their hands if they are running free.
Reminds me of a sign in Amarillo Tx. on the courthouse lawn "Airmen and dogs keep off the grass" Best I could tell both ignored the directive.
In Ontario, bicycles are considered a vehicle, and fall under the "Highway Traffic Act". Most cyclists don't care, and ignore laws that require them 1) to have a loud bell, 2) have lights, 3) wear a helmet, and 4) it's illegal to ride on sidewalks.
THUS when I get his 2-3 times a week I have no qualms punching the guy (or girl) as they clip me. It's not right, but it's reactionary, right?
If they followed laws, I wouldn't be so angry…. or maybe I would, but I wouldn't have a reason to be angry at Cyclists.
Time for a showdown!
We all think of the park and the streets as "ours", and the other people that are using them as "other people that are here sometimes when I am." I skate and bike and run and walk the dog and bootcamp workout at the park. And I've met plenty of others that think that at least one of those activities shouldn't be allowed. Some non-dog people were very happy when the local park added a fenced in dog area. I said "that's fine, as long as no one minds me running my dog through the rest of the park like I always have." Turns out the dog park was to keep the non-dog people happy by gulaging the dog people. Who knew?
Same Highway Traffic Act for cyclists here in British Columbia. Same cyclists. Blasting through 4 way stops and red lights. Sure we have bike lanes …. but the sidewalk is soooo much easier. … I stop now. Rant will get too loud.
Yeah! Go `boarders! At least I can hear them coming!

Q. I have to take required minimum distributions from my IRAs. Can I take the RMD for the current tax year from just one of the IRA accounts?
One of the best fringe benefits around is the tax exclusion for employer-paid group-term life insurance. But the exclusion is limited to the first $50,000 of coverage, hardly enough for you and other top employees. Strategy: Adopt an informal death benefit plan for a select group of employees. If you handle things right, your company can provide extra life insurance coverage at no tax cost to the employees.
