Hill House stood abandoned six miles off the road. Four people came to learn its secrets. But Hill House stood holding darkness within. Whoever walked there, walked alone.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has unnerved readers since its original publication in 1959. A tale of subtle, psychological terror, it has earned its place as one of the significant haunted house stories of the ages.
Eleanor Vance has always been a loner--shy, vulnerable, and bitterly resentful of the 11 years she lost while nursing her dying mother. "She had spent so long alone, with no one to love, that it was difficult for her to talk, even casually, to another person without self-consciousness and an awkward inability to find words." Eleanor has always sensed that one day something big would happen, and one day it does. She receives an unusual invitation from Dr. John Montague, a man fascinated by "supernatural manifestations." He organizes a ghost watch, inviting people who have been touched by otherworldly events. A paranormal incident from Eleanor's childhood qualifies her to be a part of Montague's bizarre study--along with headstrong Theodora, his assistant, and Luke, a well-to-do aristocrat. They meet at Hill House--a notorious estate in New England.
Hill House is a foreboding structure of towers, buttresses, Gothic spires, gargoyles, strange angles, and rooms within rooms--a place "without kindness, never meant to be lived in...."
Although Eleanor's initial reaction is to flee, the house has a mesmerizing effect, and she begins to feel a strange kind of bliss that entices her to stay. Eleanor is a magnet for the supernatural--she hears deathly wails, feels terrible chills, and sees ghostly apparitions. Once again she feels isolated and alone--neither Theo nor Luke attract so much eerie company. But the physical horror of Hill House is always subtle; more disturbing is the emotional torment Eleanor endures. Intense, literary, and harrowing, The Haunting of Hill House belongs in the same dark league as Henry James's classic ghost story, The Turn of the Screw. --Naomi Gesinger

ANT 380K • Intro to African Prehistory

Denbow |
Course Description
This writing component course provides an archaeological and historical overview of Africa from approximately 4 million years ago to the beginning of European expansion. The African continent is over three times the size of the United States and current evidence indicates that the ancestors of all humankind evolved there around 4 million years ago. Today there are more than a thousand different languages, belonging to four major language families, spoken in Africa; ethnic and ecoloigcal diversity are great. For later time periods, data from archaeological excavations will be used in order to expand upon anthropological and historical accounts to provide a less "Euro-centric" view of the continent and its historical development. No prior knowledge of Africa or of archaeology is assumed.

4 on of the highlights of Colin Bakers Tenuredickiep | 12/06/2012 | See all dickiep's reviews (137)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Top 10 Music Reviewer We have been led to believe that this is the last re-issue of Who DVD's, well Inferno is now being re-issued with improved picture quality and there are now planes for a re-visitations 4, containing the Green death , Aztec and The Visitation. Anyway, back in 1985 Vengeance on Varos, was one of the highlights of the season but also caused problems for the programme due to its violence and torture scenes. Set on the planet of Varos where the population watch executions like we watch Big Brother was a head of its time. Philip Martin who wrote the story was a very respected writer and wrote a great yarn here which still stand up on watching today. Sil was one of the best monsters to arrive in years and so well played a well. The story was first written for the 1982 season, but was repeatedly pushed back and re-written. In its final draft, it also contains the acid bath sequence which was much criticised for its tone and for the Doctor's flippant remark at the end of the scene. I was not a massive fan of the latter years of Who I felt it had lost its way however Colin Baker had a very rough ride as the Doctor, but looking at the viewing figures which were over 7 million they were not bad, the figures slipped below 3 million when the show moved back to weekdays opposite Coronation Street but that's another story. Baker had begun to settle into the roll, and although I still found the costume just awful and very distracting Baker managed to make the story work very well, infact it is one of the few stories of the mid 80's that does. This special edition which has been issued by a petition by the fans is a very welcome re issue now a two disc set, it contains a lot of extra's including a great making of with Colin Baker and Nicola Bryant.
3 Why?Petitpois1 | 06/09/2012 | See all Petitpois1's reviews (3)I remember V.O.V when it was broadcast and it was a good enjoyable story even with its rubber monster. Whilst it might prove beneficial to have re-issues, I have to ask why now when there are still some classics that are yet to be released, e.g. Terror of the Zygons.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="DE">
Is the use of this language Meta Tag recommended?
Espcially when dealing with Danish and Norwegian, which are very similar languages. In fact so similar that fx. Google brings up a bunch of Norwegian sites on searchers set to Danish only.
Use them :)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><html lang="de"><head>
It's a few bytes less - every little helps! You must define the language as it not only helps search engines correctly identify the language, but it also helps, for example, users with screenreaders.

A Reader-Insert
Day Three: Steal a life size nativity scene and display it in your room. When he/she asks, tell him/her "I had to let them stay here, there's no room at the inn."
Ludwig looked up, his face as impassive as ever, as you rushed in through the door, a large bundle of sorts under your winter jacket. He was used to your outbursts of energy, by now, but...
"[Name], is everything all right?" He asked tepidly, as he saw you peek out the window.
You let out a sigh of relief, as you turned around, and smiled at him. He couldn't help but return the gesture faintly.
"It'll be okay, now." You said, as you undid your coat, and took out the statue of the baby Jesus from underneath.
Ludwig cleared his throat. [Name]...what is that?"
"Why, it's Jesus, of course!"
"Yes, but...why do you have this?"
"Well..." you paused, wondering how you would explain the whole situation to him. "...there was no room at the inn!"
"No room at the..." Ludwig was more than confused.
You gently placed the baby down onto the sofa, and turned towards Ludwig.
"Well, you know how Jesus was born, right? Well, there's no place at the inn left, apparently, and I just couldn't let a new born child sit outside in this cold, can I? It's even about to snow, Ludwig!"
Ludwig's eyes widened, as he begun to realise what was happening. "And...where did you get this from" He asked, already scared for the answer.
"Oh, the baby? I don't know...he was just lying in someone's front lawn, as I was driving down."
"Did you just steal someone's nativity Jesus?" Ludwig couldn't help but raise his voice at the end.
"I didn't steal it!" You retorted. "Well, if I found a baby on my front lawn, I sure as hell would let them in! I should think that I'm doing the baby a favour!"
Ludwig sighed, as he shut his book, and took his glasses off. Pinching the bridge of his nose, to try and relieve the forthcoming headache, he tried to comprehend the whole situation of his girlfriend stealing a nativity Jesus as, according to her, "there was no room at the inn." There had to be a plausibly conspicuous way to return the statue, right? Before its legitimate owners charged [Name] with burglary, or even just made a ruckus around town...
"Wait, Ludwig, let me go get the baby's parents from the car, okay?" You cheerfully called, as you opened the door.
It would take a lot to relieve this headache.

I think the biggest issues with this game are some of the annoying things about the hud. I'm going to list off a bunch of improvements that Riot should implement or else they're just big poopoo-faces. 1. Opacity scaler for the HUD. Make it so that you can make it more transparent as needed to see through it while still seeing items/abilities. This could allow you to click on the HUD and move the character instead of the HUD blocking it. 2. Hotkey range checker on abilities with a radius; instead of mousing over an ability to see if you can reach your target 3. Mini-map, a toggle key to make it unclickable or clickable. 4. Alternate Ping sounds. That ringing sparkly sound the ping makes gets really annoying after a while, especially if spammed. suggest: echo sonar sounding ping as a choice 5. Alternate Ping colors to indicate, ie: Attack/Defend at location. 6. Change/Brighten colors of your own CURSOR and HEALTH BAR/NAME so you can see your own champion more easily in messy cluster#$%@s. Please do these, I find the HUD most often is the cause of nuisance and pain than anything else in this great game.
I do aprove the idea of having transparent hud and having your health bar different color (and being over everyone's else). I do not aprove the idea of having a switching minimap or different ping colors, I do not think this is very useful. However, I would add something aside the allies face (top left) to tell us when their ult is ready. You can know that by bringing up the scoreboard, but knowing that your shen's, ww's, karthus' or amumu's ult is up could make a serious difference in teamfights. Something such as making their faces green when their ult is up and red when its not, standard colors when unavalaible (not leveled yet, or inexistant such as karma's one or udyr's one) and gray when the person is dead. This is an example, thought anoter idea could be better then mine. Just knowing that the ult is up or not would be a nice add'on in my opinion.

sorry to Baldbagger but it is useless to change the ping color and sond but it a good idea continue to give ur opinion and idea !!!

President / Co-Founder
Summoners! Now that Season One is coming to a close, this is a great time to update you all on some amazing accomplishments that you have helped make possible. The first time we discussed League of Legends' growth was back in August of 2010. The number of players enjoying the game then was impressive, but since then our phenomenal rate of growth has increased. As of today, 15 million people have registered to become League of Legends players. Each month, over 4 million people log in to play. And on each day, 1.4 million summoners play League of Legends together. When we're at our busiest, over 500,000 people in North America and Europe are in game at the same time. On average, more than 10 games of League of Legends start every second of every day. As we expand into Asia and abroad, the possibilities around live, global events makes the game enthusiast in all of us shake with excitement. The phenomenal growth that we have experienced this year has not just been limited to the playerbase. Riot Games itself is now more than five times the size it was when we released League of Legends back in October of 2009, weighing in at more than 300 employees in four different cities across three continents. And we're actively hiring more people now than we ever have before! Our success, however, can sometimes be our greatest challenge. Servicing half a million players simultaneously puts us in a great, but challenging position, which means we face unique problems to solve to ensure stability. Over the past year, we've grown the company to create the best League of Legends experience possible, both in terms of our ability to add new features, new content and, most importantly, to ensure our stability. Our recent division of the EU platform into EU West and EU Nordic & East is our most major, visible improvement to stability, but we're constantly working to ensure you can continue to play in a reliable environment. None of this would have been possible without you. League of Legends is your game, and you've made it abundantly clear that League of Legends is not only here to stay, but this community has made it one of the most popular PC games in the history of our industry. For that, I want to express my most sincere heartfelt thanks; from me, and everyone here working around the clock to give you the gaming experience that you enjoy, and the features that you've been asking for. Looking back at all we've delivered makes us proud - from game features like Draft Mode and Ranked Games around Season One, to Battle Training and Co-Op vs. AI to help you bring your friends into the game, to our commitment of constantly enhancing our community with Auto-Leaver banning, the Summoner's Code and the Tribunal. We are also committed to continuing to improve and expand our web presence, our live event coverage and competitive scene, but patting ourselves on the back about the past is not what Riot is all about. Last December we told you to expect the unexpected, and in 2011 we will deliver on this promise. We are extremely excited to continue to demonstrate our commitment to constantly delivering the most innovative and player-centric online game experience around for all of you to enjoy. You have our sincere commitment that we are still just getting started and the best is yet to come. Thank you for your continued support, and thanks for playing League of Legends! Sincerely, Marc Tryndamere Merrill President & Executive Producer
Senior Member
Thanks Riot!
I hope this game will continue being free, I really like Riot and the community. The game itself is one of the best I've played, definitely the top free game. Edit: Congratulations on the expansion as well! Hope it works out well.
Now you know why we've been so busy! Thank you so much for making this announcement possible all, it's an honor to have so many of you!
Azghyn Nite
Wouldn't have been possible without you either. Thanks Riot
No, Thank you for this awesome game! <3
awesome, read it and happy to be part of it congrats on developing such an outstanding game and the success it has shown
I'm glad to be apart of it. Long time no see, Tryndamere. Also, can we get an ETA on the first wave of "unexpected" features that are coming?
Wow! Those numbers are astonishing. You continue to be awesome, and us as players will continue to play the game.
Asian expansion, nice to hear from an Aussie By the way, totally not expecting Magma Chamber... :3 Or Swain skins... :3

I like Ruger, I'd just rather spend $650 on an AR or AK+ammo.
Well for that price range shop around for a Arsenal USA AK w/milled reciever.
IMHO, I would not trust an AR to work well even as a range queen for that amount of money; on the retail level anyway.
BigEd, Can you explain more on that please?Originally Posted by BigEd63
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
BigEd63 I just meant I would rather apply the $$$ I'd spend on the Ruger Mini to an AR plus the other $300 or so. I wish I could get a Rock River Arms Entry Tactical for $650. It seems I decide I'm getting an AR for sure one day and the next day I am certain I'm getting an AK 1st. Either one would work and I'd like to have one of each at some point. Just have to save some money and get the one that speaks to me.

Members of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor family (M1-M5) are known to be involved in a great number of important central and peripheral physiological and pathophysiological processes. Because of the overlapping expression patterns of the M1-M5 muscarinic receptor subtypes and the lack of ligands endowed with sufficient subtype selectivity, the precise physiological functions of the individual receptor subtypes remain to be elucidated. To explore the physiological roles of the M2 muscarinic receptor, we have generated mice lacking functional M2 receptors by using targeted mutagenesis in mouse embryonic stem cells. The resulting mutant mice were analyzed in several behavioral and pharmacologic tests. These studies showed that the M2 muscarinic receptor subtype, besides its well documented involvement in the regulation of heart rate, plays a key role in mediating muscarinic receptor-dependent movement and temperature control as well as antinociceptive responses, three of the most prominent central muscarinic effects. These results offer a rational basis for the development of novel muscarinic drugs.

A temp or temporary employee is a worker usually employed by an employment agency on a non-permanent basis. The employer contracts with the employment agency to provide the worker and pays an agreed to rate, usually perhour, for the temp. The employer provides no benefits and can terminate the temp at any time without paying severance pay.
Expanded Definition
Any benefits provided to the temp including holiday pay or vacation pay are provided by the employment agency, who is the temp's employer of record.
Temps were originally used to fill in for employees calling in sick or on vacation or to fill short term needs for additional manpower. Originally it was mostly office workers and warehouse workers. But employers are finding temps less costly to hire than regular, full time employees, who often receive costly benefits. Employers increasingly rely on a cadre of full time employees to form the core of their operations to train and supervise the temps, but then fill in the ranks with temps to get the work done at lower overall cost.
Increasingly professionals have been brought in as temps. That is because employers may have a need for extra manpower on certain projects, and experienced professionals are willing to work as temps. Computer programmers, scientists, engineers, and accountants are often hired this way to deal with short term project needs.
In recent years, employers have increasingly used contract employees. They were considered self-employed contractors. Unlike a full time permanent employee, the contractor rather than the employer is responsible for providing benefits and paying income taxes.
Certain companies, most notably Microsoft, have recently had their contractor hiring practices challenged. Challengers maintain that people claiming to be self-employee contractors were in fact employees. That would require payment of payroll taxes plus back payments for vacation, holidays, and other benefits routinely provided to employees. To avoid such challenges, employers are increasingly hiring temporaries who work for employment agencies. These temps are employees of the temp agency and cannot be construed to be employees of the temp agency's client.

Donation to fund new community center awaits Troy voting
The Samuel E. Paul Community Center would be built at the Samuel E. Paul War Memorial Recreation Area.
Before he moved to California he left money to the town to create the recreation area that is named in his honor.
"His son is carrying on, really just adding to that initial donation," Matson said. "We're very happy to have such a generous donation."
The center would have a large main room with a divider for meetings, a full size kitchen, bathrooms, a cellar for storage and parking
"It's going to provide us with a real nice building to have meetings and community events," Matson said.
"My parents said he was always a very loving and honest and hardworking kind of guy," Matson said.
Other donations are funding the project, but the large donation has invigorated the recreation committee and finished the needed funding.
Town meeting is scheduled for March 15.

Yue doesn't actually sound like someone with much will to live. But he does, inside, desire to live. Probably not as intently as others are, but he do. His laid back attitude however and somewhat pessimism keeps him from getting overly motivated for it. He sorts of accept what happens to him whatever happens. Which is also one of the reason why he didn't run when he saw the bear, he just assumed that this was how he was going to end. And he did die, but ended up here.

◊ He bites his nail constantly, often making his fingers bleed.
◊ He has detachable ears and tails, but he mainly wears his fake ears.
◊ Yue takes really good care of his clothing and his hair.
◊ He doesn't mind his shortness for a boy. Teasing him about it won't make him flinch or pout or anything because he accepts the fact that he is smaller than normal boys.

If you are searching for any of the following topics:
Look no further. You'll find it at Youngevity
Obesity and overweight problems are synonymous with Americans. Nibble, nibble, nibble all the way home. "Pica" is a seeking, a craving with licking and chewing behavior that has its genesis in mineral deficiencies - interestingly enough neither vitamin deficiency, protein deficiency or calorie deficiency initiates this "pica" behavior, nor will supplementing vitamins or eating sugar, carbohydrate, fat or protein quench it!! !
Rossetti Distribution YoungevityIndependent Associate ID #13077501
The snack food and fast food industries are aware of this relationship between pica, cribbing, cravings, sugar binges and salt hunger and they use it to their advantage by liberally salting or sweetening their products. Unfortunately for us our bodies temporarily translates sugar and salt consumption as a fulfillment of the craving for nutritional minerals (i.e.- if we lack iron, salt or sugar will temporarily satisfy our pica behavior initiated by the iron deficiency).

As a kid, lying was easy to understand. It was wrong. If you stole the lollipop, you stole the lollipop. If you got caught, you fessed up. Lying about the deed was as bad as the deed itself.
In fact, in the childish world of right and wrong, stealing a lollipop was no big deal if you had the decency to tell the truth when you got caught.

The Bodybuilding Weight Loss Diet Plan - Shed Excess Weight Like A Bodybuilder
Are you a Christian who has struggled with weight loss and dieting only to fail again and again? Most weight loss programs focus primarily on the mechanics of losing weight, i.e., counting calories, reading labels, and avoiding specific foods. Many times these programs focus so much on food it becomes a daily pre-occupation. However, God never intended food to rule our lives, but instead to sustain us and provide nourishment for health and wellness.
Yet there are many foods you can eat that have a high protein content and at the same time are delicious. An Indian dish called Dall is extremely rich how to lose weight in a week diet plan protein and also delicious when cooked in the right manner.
On this phase, you will be eating a lot of grains. The purpose of this is to take advantage of the fiber found in these foods. Besides being a source of some micronutrients, it also helps with the digestion of foods throughout your body, plus it has practically zero calories. So even though your body must burn calories to process it, no net calories are added to your waistline.
Lots of individuals have shed enormous weight simply by consuming negative calorie foods. This is founded on the theory that the overall impact of a few foods is negative on our body. Here, the food uses more calories in digesting than what's actually found in the food itself. This negative calorie diet has fruits, vegetables and fish and could help one to get rid of about seven pounds in three days.
It's been a busy day at work, you were good this morning and went for a run, you deserve a big meal. Wrong! Instead of eating a big meal at the end of the day, eat small meals regularly.
A change in your lifestyle and in the way you eat is sure going to provide long term benefits. Although you might have the impression that dieting means eating foods you don't enjoy, there are plenty healthy low calorie recipes that you can try. You will be amazed to realize that weight loss recipes can be fun to make and delicious.
You will come across all manner of ways to speed up your metabolism. Some people may tell you that your metabolic rate is predetermined by gender and genetics and that is true to a small degree but there is still plenty of room to make improvements. Even if you have a long family history of slow metabolism, you can still make a difference in yours!
They have now taken their real life experience and the education they received to share with you their new weight loss solutions. Here are some tips from their new system on How to lose weight fast and keep it off.
Many people don't think about the danger of losing weight quick. If someone lose weight quick without doing it the heathy and proper way their body will eventually go under a violent change which will produce extremely unhealthy effects on their body and mind.
The diet don't require that you measures everything you eat, you don't have to calculate the calories. You simple give a program information on what you like to eat and then it calculates a complete 11 day menu. You eat 4 times per day and you get to eat just short of full. And you lose weight. Cool, huh?

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs.

Signed. Both maps are awesome, so lets have both.
Signed. I like the old and the new!
this map is too one sided.. early game champs and tanks ftw.. cant even farm to counter what garbage.. they probably let jay wilson design this one.. just saying
PLEASE READ THIS!!! Riot understands you might not like the new TT and therefore made it a BETA. It seriously just came out today, and you have not given them a chance to fix it. I agree they totally messed it up, but only because of a couple small mistakes which i explain in a dif post. Point is.... By asking riot to maintain 2 very similar maps, it will take up a ton more of their time, and how lame would it be to have the old broken and still WAY BETTER twisted trealine, alongside the new totally garbage one. Honestly I dont like either of them and there is still a chance to alter the new one to make it the same feel as the old. YES WE DO NOT LIKE NEW TREE LINE. but keeping 2 maps that both need improvement is not the solution. DO NOT SIGN
Signed, I like the old Twisted Treeline better this new map is too different.
x Infamy au
Signing this again, that's how I feel about it.

Taxpayers Protection Alliance: "Teamsters' Blunders To Cost Taxpayers Billions"
"They drove their pension plan into bankruptcy and want us to pay for it"
ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, The Taxpayers Protection Alliance criticized the International Brotherhood of Teamsters for numerous financial mistakes, missteps and blunders that resulted in the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund being $14 billion in debt and headed towards bankruptcy.
Already facing a $34 billion deficit, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the government entity created to help current and future retirees if their pensions go bankrupt) could be exposed to $14 billion more with the Central States Pension Fund being $14 billion underwater.
David Williams, President of The Taxpayers Protection Alliance said, "With the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund $14 billion in debt, and the government agency designed to help Central States current and future retirees is $34 billion in debt, this can only one mean one thing – more taxpayer bailouts."
In 2008, The Wall Street Journal reported that Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa asked Congress to include pension plans like Central States in any bailout. The story of the Central States Pension Fund reads like a financial horror story, with bad decision after bad decision leading to a nightmare for taxpayers. Consider the following examples:- The Congressional Research Service (CRS) reported that Central States decided to invest in stocks in spring of 2000 while the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan took a more cautious approach with its contributions and invested in Treasury Bonds. The result, according to The New York Times , was that Central States lost $2.8 billion while the Western Conference added to its bottom line by gaining $834 million. Because of this decision, the Central States' unfunded liability, the difference between its assets and its obligations, reached a staggering $14 billion. And most importantly, the Teamsters Fund " had to reduce benefits for the first-time in its 49-year history."
- During this time, the Central States Pension Fund reported a $77 million loss on an "unsecured loan." When pressed on the failed investment by an employee at a local union, a pension fund official revealed that loan was actually stock the Fund had purchased to back a Russian bank that went belly-up.
- In February of 2008, the Central States Pension Fund received a $6.1 billion withdrawal penalty from UPS and promptly invested a majority of its funds in the S&P 500 instead of safer investment vehicles. The result: the Pension Fund lost every single penny of the $6.1 billion on the way to losing more than $9 billion in 2008.

Libya's sharp lesson for America's foreign priorities
A regional youth spike means more trouble, unless we change the game.
San Francisco
For any country that Washington considers strategic enough to bomb – never mind commit NATO or American men and women to die in – Libya offers the latest in a long line of learning opportunities.
If we can agree on even one conclusion from the past two decades, let it be this: US foreign policy must raise the bar (substantially) for military intervention – and raise the ante (dramatically) to support the kind of real economic development that stabilizes volatile states and enables democratic freedoms.
Conventional wisdom on Libya reads like the traditional blend of fuzzy-headed idealism and ham-fisted naiveté: To protect Libya's freedom-seeking people, let's pound strategic targets with laser-guided ordnance, try to avoid civilian targets that Muammar Qaddafi's troops are hiding in, and see if he leaves voluntarily.
Summing up this magical-thinking foreign policy, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton declared that "Colonel Qaddafi must go, now, without further violence and bloodshed." This decisive-sounding spin started two months ago – when hope officially became a strategy.
The limits of American power lie not in our ability to wish tyrants away, or to deploy military assets – even now – but in our commitment to back up civil society in struggling nations with the tools for self-sustaining economic growth and wealth of their own creation.

What to eat and what not to
The most frequently asked question to me while talking with my friends here in Australia about the whaling dispute is "have you eaten whale meat?' "What it's like?" they ask. They all look very curious about the 'mysterious' and 'exotic' meat.
I once heard a rumour that restaurants in Japan which serve whale meat had recently been flocked by Australian tourists. Don't worry. It is just a rumour. And, no. I have not made a thorough investigation into this rumour as yet. But Australians are adventurous, brave and open to unknown cultures. Then, why not?
Coming back to the FAQ, yes, I have eaten whale meat. Like most of Japanese people who are in my generation, I had whale meat at my primary school in Tokyo. And I must make a confession here. Actually, I LOVED it.
School meal – kyushoku (給食)in Japanese which literary means "supplied meal" – was a bit of an issue for me back then. Actually I was living in Vancouver from the age of four and never had an opportunity to attend Japanese kindergarten or primary school. So when my family moved back to Japan when I was seven, my parents teasingly told me "when you go back to Japan, you have to have something called kyushoku which is not necessarily tasty". I became a bit scared and was quite cautious about kyushoku on my first day at the Japanese primary school.
However, kyushoku time turned out to be the best part of my school life in Tokyo. Probably because my school had its own kitchen and well trained cooking staff, dishes were wonderfully cooked and, contrary to my parents' kind warning, they were delicious.
Here I am talking about an event that happened in the late 60s, by the way. It is rather scary to realise that more than 40 years have passed since then!
Therefore, my memory of the whole menu of kyushoku is rather vague but there are definitely some dishes I still could fondly recall. Pasta salad, Japanese udon noodle in curry soup, fishcakes fried with sprinkles of seaweed, raisin & brown sugar breads, coffee flavoured milk in a triangle pole shaped pack, bread with chocolate margarine … and I cannot leave out fried whale meat.
Looking back, however, it is quite bizarre that I did not have any hesitation in eating it. When I was a kid I did not have likes and dislikes. I think I had quite a well balanced diet thanks to my mum. But when it comes to meat, I suddenly became picky. I could not eat meat which was not on our family meal table.
I had and still have my own strict policy. I do not eat, for example, from rabbits, deer, frogs, pigeons and quails. This list indicates that I am missing out on most 'elegant' French gibier cuisine, I suppose. Horse meat is very popular among some Japanese, but I do not eat that either. Bear hands? No thank you. I am also not interested in tasting roo or croc meat. Then, why was whale meat OK?
To be very honest, I really cannot logically explain my "what meat to eat and what not to" criteria. Where I draw the line is unclear. I do have a sense that I am more comfortable eating food from the ocean. This, of course, includes whales. That is the only explanation I have at the moment.
Thus, I believe everyone has got her/his own criteria in deciding what to eat and what not to. Sometimes logical, sometimes not. So, what is your policy? If you find yourself in one restaurant in Japan and were served a whale meat dish, what would you do?
6 March 2011, 5.00pm
Actually, I drafted the above blog a few weeks back.
Now, as I speak … I came across this The Age article "Are you game for roadkill night?" this morning. Have you seen this?
No. I wouldn't be at the Road Kill night for sure.
BUT … I must question myself … what if they were stranded whales? … agh!! … sorry.
Hi Yoko,
I trust you got back from Japan okay. And don't worry about Deakin's bureaucrats asking you to return early - they are required to do that, but they can't compel you to. I trust that all of your family is okay.
Now, onto the whales:
Like most people, personal attacks against anyone for appearing to be of a group is just plain wrong. I may oppose whale hunting, but that should not be connetced to individuals. I am sorry your friend had the experience she did, and even that you are often asked about it.
I think there are a couple of issues here that many Australians respond to.
The first is that the global whale population came very close to collapsing a while back, with some species facing extinction (e.g. Blue Whale) due to their long maturing time and slow reproduction. As a result, in 1986 the global community agreed to strictly limit the hunting of whales. Australia agreed that this was necessary and it is a view adopted by, I think, most Australians. Whales have since found a place of affection among many people, which adds and emotional element to their concern.
One can agree or disagree about the necessity of the limitation on whaling, but it did appear that if such a limitation was not imposed some species would disappear. Japan, Norway and Iceland have gotten around this and maintained commercial whaling, with japan doing so by maintaining the transparent facade that they are engaging in limited whaling for 'scientific research'. No-one likes being lied to, regardless of the importance of the matter. In Australia, frankness is generally valued, which increases the insult attached to the lie. And there is some importance in this matter.
Fortunately, Australia and Japan have mainatined a good relationship at many levels, so this is a dispute between friends. It is good that friends can object to some of the behavior of each other without losing the friendship. It is an interesting subject, though, in bilateral relations and foreign policy for both countries.
By the way, a Norwegian friend of mine said he regards whale meat as delicious. Perhaps if we could farm them, like cattle, it might be more acceptable to kill them for food. But that seems unlikely.
With best wishes,
Dear Damien
Thank you for your kind message and also for the comment.
Sorry that it took me quite a while to respond.
As for Deakin's contact to urge me to 'evacuate' from MY OWN country, although I am deeply grateful for their concern, I must admit that that was the only time I felt a threat this time in Japan. The push (or pull, should I say?) factor from Down Under – not the earthquake, the tsunami nor the radiation problem in Japan – actually made me to panic a bit.
The other day, I read an article in The Sydney Morning Herald reporting about two Australian rugby union players who were playing for a Japanese team Kamaishi Seawaves and were caught in the disaster. A few days after the event, an Australian consular team reached them for the rescue. Peter Miller left Kamaishi with his young families but Scott Fardy decided to stay to help cleaning up the community there.
Both Fardy's and Peter's decision has to be respected and should not be judged by others whether it was right or wrong. Deciding from what I had gone through, the final decision should be left to each individual in such circumstances, I believe.
So, back to business – the whales and whaling!
Thanks again for taking time to drop a beneficial comment and I totally agree with your point on Australians' enthusiasm for the frankness and I respect and admire that. I think I've been in this country long enough to recognise the virtue of Australian people.
But for this particular case, I have to ask a couple of questions.
So, what exactly do you think that Japan is lying about?
Also, then, does this mean that if the Japanese were quite frank about their whaling activity and if the stock of whale spices which they are after at is abundant, is it OK for them to keep hunting whales whether that was commercial or scientific?
I maybe asking quite naïve questions here but would be grateful if I could hear your opinion.
Kind regards,

Judicial activism occurs when judges write subjective policy preferences into the law rather than apply the law impartially according to its original meaning. As such, activism does not mean the mere act of striking down a law.
The 5-4 majority ruled that the execution of a 17 year-old murderer violates the Eighth Amendment prohibition on "cruel and unusual punishment" because it is inconsistent with "the evolving standards of decency that mark the progress of a maturing society." In addition to surveying trends in state legislation, Justice Kennedy in his majority opinion also relies on the Court's "independent judgment" and international law to conclude that these evolving standards prohibit execution of juveniles.
In the infamous case of Roper v. Simmons, the Court utilizes a panoply of activist "tools." The judges engage in judicial imperialism, citing their own "independent judgment" as authoritative. They also imported foreign law into Eighth Amendment jurisprudence, clearly unable to justify their conclusion with U.S. law. Further, following the past precedent of other activist cases, the judges relied on the so-called Living Constitution to make the Constitution comport with their self-described enlightened sensibilities
In setting forth the Court's "independent judgment," Kennedy asserts his own apparent expertise in sociology, attempting to explain the general differences between adults and juveniles. Among other things, he stated that "[J]uveniles are more vulnerable or susceptible to negative influences and outside pressures, including peer pressure." Kennedy's references to sociological studies and his own observations about youth are clearly policy judgments that do not fall within the realm of constitutional interpretation. Weighing these kind of policy considerations does have a place in answering the question of whether this punishment is appropriate, but the authority to make these detailed policy determinations—as well as the machinery for proper fact-finding hearings, and the political check on the ultimate judgment—rests with the legislatures, whose respective judgments the Court is trammeling.
Justice Kennedy further reveals his misunderstanding of the judiciary's role when he looks to international opinion to assess whether the "evolving standards of decency" forbid the execution of minors. He demonstrates this "international consensus" in part by citing a treaty to which the United States is expressly not a signatory. While thinly conceding that international law isn't controlling on this matter, the Court looks to foreign law to find confirmation of its own preferred conclusions. Rather than exploring the original meaning of the Eighth Amendment, the five justices of the majority instead frolic and detour through evidence of foreign standards, which they use to confirm their own policy preferences.
The Court's living constitutionalist doctrine of "evolving standards" is perfectly standardless, and provides courts with almost limitless discretion. At the time of the Amendment's enactment, "cruel and unusual punishment" meant torturous punishments, such as decapitation or pillorying, that were actually uncommon in colonial America. The Court's rulings in Eighth Amendment cases such as this have stretched the meaning of the Eighth Amendment to the point that the words "cruel and unusual" functionally mean whatever happens to offend a majority of the justices.
