A sex abuse case that convulsed a remote northern hamlet for years has ended with a defrocked Roman Catholic priest being convicted on 24 of 80 sex-related charges he faced involving Inuit children more than 30 years ago.After pleading guilty to eight of the counts at the start of his trial, former Oblate Eric Dejaeger will be sentenced for 32 sex crimes that range from indecent assault to bestiality.
Justice Robert Kilpatrick's verdict brings closure to a saga that has ranged across two continents and raised questions about the role of the Catholic Church and Canadian officials in delaying justice for victims still suffering mental scars from horrific attacks.
"This judgment contains graphic descriptions of sexual activity that some may find disturbing and offensive" is how Kilpatrick's 212-page verdict begins.
In all, Dejaeger was convicted of 24 counts of indecent assault, one of unlawful confinement, two of buggery, three of unlawful sexual intercourse, one of sexual assault and one of bestiality. The victims include 12 boys, 10 girls and a dog he abused in front of two children. Most were between the ages of eight and 12, although they could have been as young as four and as old as 18.
The offences occurred between 1978 and 1982 in the hamlet of Igloolik, when the now 67-year-old was the Oblate missionary. They took place in common rooms in the mission building, in Dejaeger's bedroom and on the land when he was the guest of families hunting and fishing.
Some children were fondled on Dejaeger's lap as their friends played around them. One was assaulted as she helped Dejaeger look for Christmas ornaments.
One witness described how he and his friend, about seven at the time, were raped one after the other. Another told how she was taped to Dejaeger's bed and attacked from behind.
Witness after witness told court that Dejaeger used his position as Igloolik's missionary to trap them into sex, threatening them with hellfire or separation from their families if they told. Sometimes, food dangled before hungry children was his lure.
Still, Kilpatrick noted that time had degraded much of the testimony before him.
"Judges and juries do not possess divine insight into the soul of witnesses who testify in a legal proceeding. Decisions must be made on the basis of evidence alone, not intuition or guesswork," he wrote.
"The quantity and quality of the evidence available to the court in this case has been substantially weakened by the passage of time. The reliability of the Crown's evidence on many counts is suspect. This is reflected by the results of this trial."
The Crown's case was also weakened by defence suggestions that many of the witnesses had conferred before the trial to hone their testimony.
But nobody doubted the searing emotion and pain the trial dredged up. It was common to hear witnesses howling and weeping outside court after their testimony.
Friday's verdict was only the latest blight in Dejaeger's long and ugly history in Canada.
He has already served a five-year sentence on 11 counts of sexual assault and indecent assault against children in Baker Lake, Nunavut, where he was posted after Igloolik.
It was after he had served that sentence, in 1995, that he learned RCMP were investigating his activities in Igloolik. He was eventually charged, but before his court date arrived he fled to his native Belgium.
Oblate officials have acknowledged that they knew Dejaeger was about to leave. They have also said that Canadian justice officials suggested that the easiest thing was for him to simply leave Canada, where he had become a citizen. They have said Dejaeger was told he wouldn't be bothered if he stayed away.
For 16 years, he lived quietly in homes maintained by the Oblates, even though an international warrant had been filed for his arrest.
Eventually, dogged reporting by Belgian journalists revealed that Dejaeger was living in that country illegally. He was returned to Canada in 2011, touching off an Arctic blizzard of unresolved anguish in Igloolik.
"I felt numb," one victim told The Canadian Press. "All the memories are coming back. I'm constantly numb all over. I can't think straight because everything keeps coming back."
Nunavut's Health Department sent an extra social worker and mental health nurse to Igloolik to help residents deal with stress. The territory's manager of mental health spent a week in town after Dejaeger's return.
The hamlet's Roman Catholic priest left town because of threats.
Igloolik was quiet Friday morning, said community justice worker William Qamukaq, who spent the previous several days talking to witnesses to let them know the verdict was coming.
"The victims are certainly affected," he said. "There are mixed feelings."Report Typo/Error

NOW SERVING THOSE practitioners in the Holistic health field is the Chetawan TTM School, the official branch of over 300-year old Chetupon Wararaam Temple (Wat Po) Thai Traditional Medical School. For the first time students in Chiangmai can study with confidence knowing the integrity of all courses at Chetawan TTM School are followed to the letter.
A brief history of Wat Po, popularly known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, as well as being Thailand's first open university under the patronage of King Rama III. Many fields of knowledge and technology that were practiced in those days were gathered here. The various fields of knowledge featured are history, religion, literature, arts, culture, medical science, physical therapy and pharmacy. Today, the well known Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical and Massage School is an official Foundation located in the temple grounds. Part of the proceeds of the Foundation support the operation of the Wat Po temple. One reason for the school's fame is the carefully preserved ancient techniques of the courses and treatments offered to Thai and foreigners.
Wat Po was created in 1836 during the reign of King Rama III by a royal decree announcing the institution of arts and sciences such as medical science and herbal pharmacology of that day. Within the school there are 60 murals depicting traditional Thai massage postures which include meridien lines and energy points on the human body, 80 statues of yoga postures each of which represent different self-massage and stretching positions with different curative effects are arranged in an outdoor garden museum. An impressive account of 1,000 formulae of recognized herbal pharmacology are documented. All those who are curious to acquire good knowledge and self health care can come to study at this convenient center. These inscriptions are published in textbook form by the Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical School. Most of the original text is still recognized by the Ministry of Public Health and the formulae are included in the official textbook. Some of the formulae have been translated into various foreign languages.
Massage is a method of treating ailments that had been used successfully for a very long time, in fact for more than two thousand years. But as society became more indoctrinated to accept western medicine, massage disappeared from many societies as a form of treatment. However, the practice of massage for treating physical ailments continues here in Thailand today. The Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical and Massage School in Bangkok offers courses on Thai herbal medicines and pharmacy, Thai Traditional Medicine and Practice and Thai Traditional Massage. Students spend 1-3 years studying the first two courses before sitting for an examination for a license. Massage students spend only 30 hours learning basic practice of Thai Traditional Massage. Those who are serious to pursue working in this field should spend another 30 hours for the Massage Therapy Course.
The Chetawan TTM School is the official branch of Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical in Chiangmai. Here students can study with confidence that the integrity of the course is followed to the letter. The school is located opposite the Rajaphat Teachers's college on Chotana Road.
Courses with instruction books on offer :
Basic Massage Course length of 5 days at 6 hours per day.
Foot Massage Course 30 hours or 5 days at 6 hours per day or 10 days at 3 hours per day.
Advanced Thai Therapeutic and Healing Massage Course length of 30 hours either 5 days, 6 days or 10 days.
Oil Massage and Aromatherapy Course 30 hours again 5 or 6 days. (This course accepts students who have mastered the Advanced Thai Therapeutic and Healing Massage Course.)
Infant and Child Massage Course 15 hours 3 days at 4 hours or 5 days at 3 hours. (This course accepts students who have mastered the Basic Thai Therapeutic and Healing Massage Course.)
At this time, Chiangmai does not offer courses on Thai herbal medicines and pharmacy. However, students are welcome to enquire and discuss with the teachers in Chiangmai.
Students receive a certificate upon the successful completion of each course they have taken.Women students can take advantage of staying in the dorm during the length of the course they are studying at a minimal fee for electricity consumption. Visit The Chetawan TTM School at 7/1-2 Soi Samood Lanna, Chotana Road, Changpuak, Chiangmai, Tel. 053-410360-1.

Basic Green Salad
Today I'm sharing my Basic Green Salad recipe, but also the salad dressing that I keep stocked in my pantry for last minute entertaining.
I was at a retreat in Tahoe a few weekends ago, and telling a new friend how I started my blog 9 years ago. My husband and I were in Denver at a book convention, talking about sharing one of my passions with people: hospitality. We hashed out why people entertain, and why some don't, and came up with the name of this blog: Reluctant Entertainer. Before that, I was sharing my heart with my friend Barb, about how I wished people would just figure out the blessings of hospitality and not get so wrapped up in the details. Barb said, Sandy, start a blog!
So that is the story. When you know in your heart that you are supposed to do something, and it's something that you believe in, you trust it.
I googled "blog" and started clicking away, and started this blog in October 2006. Way … back … when …
Since then, I've thought a lot about my passions for helping others, while at the same time, having entertaining and hospitality as very important pieces of my life.
Follow your passion.
When you believe something, you trust it. You rely on and depend on it. My mom taught me a lot about hospitality, and her example was a lesson of life for me, for the way I wanted to live. I just knew it in my heart, so to not follow my passion, I knew I would be wrong.
When you choose to let your doubts rule you, and you start believing you cannot do something, you are trusting, relying and depending on those doubts!
When I shared with my husband early on in our marriage how much entertaining meant to me, he got on board and helped me, and realized that it truly is a gift in life, a gift that we should pass down to our children.
When you don't follow your dreams, or live out your passions, I truly believe that your doubts move you farther away from what you should be doing. They create distance between you and the life you were meant to live.
I hope this post makes sense, and you get the idea here …. Live your dream … make it happen!
For me, it was to start a blog and share hospitality. That simple.
Following this passion speaks to my heart, it moves my soul, it makes me want to help others.
Basic Green Salad.
So, today, I'm sharing a basic green salad recipe with you, because how many dinner parties do you serve a green salad? For me, almost every single one!
There are so many varieties and ways to make a salad, but when we hosted this party, a month or so ago, I realized how much I LOVE a basic green salad.
Keep stocked in the pantry.
I also keep on hand Briannas Home Style Dijon Honey Mustard Dressing.
It's my all-time favorite PANTRY dressing, you know, when you don't have time to whip up a fresh salad dressing. It pairs well with so many flavors. Even Mexican food!
It's my go-to, and everyone always asks … Sandy, what is this dressing? And I'm always happy to tell them my little secret. :)
So now you know my 2 little secrets. My back-up salad dressing, and the call on my life that I felt while in the kitchen helping and cooking and preparing for all those Sunday suppers with my dear Mama. :)
Have you thought about what moves your soul, and how you can lean in to this passion?
Basic Green Salad
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
The easiest way to toast walnuts is to lay them on a paper towel and cook in the microwave for 1 minute. Toss; cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, until toasty-delicious! I also love to keep Briannas Home Style Dressing Dijon Honey Mustard stocked in the pantry for last-minute entertaining!
- Leafy greens, washed, spun dry, and torn into bite sizes
- Tomatoes, chopped in chunks
- Cucumbers, sliced
- Red onion, sliced
- Toasted walnuts, toasted
- Olive oil, salt and pepper OR Briannas Home Style Dressing Dijon Honey Mustard
- Wash, spin, dry, and tear lettuce leaves into pieces and place in a large bowl.
- Lay the chopped tomatoes, sliced onions and cucumbers, and toasted walnuts on top.
- Toss the salad with either olive oil, salt, and pepper, OR your favorite salad dressing right before serving. Do not overdress the salad!
Are you following me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest? If you'd like to subscribe to Reluctant Entertainer, to have each post delivered straight to your e-mail box, then please add your email, here. It's really easy! Thanks for being here today!

Well, that's all for today. Thanks for joining us in live blog. Have a lovely end to the year!
So given we had few questions on the direction of interest rates, what can we take from Stevens' comments today?
RBS senior currency strategist Greg Gibbs says that "at the margin it might be regarded as a little supportive of higher rates, since the Governor has emphasised that the current level of rates is working to support the economy, suggesting that further rate cuts may offer little additional support".
"However on the economic outlook he remains subdued, continuing to look for below trend growth, so rate hikes are equally unlikely."
TD Securities' head of Asia Pacific research Annette Beacher has a go at the committee for a missed opportunity on asking Stevens about the direction of interest rates next year.
We cannot believe the lack of focus about where interest rates are going from here. 9/10 questions have been about the reserve fund capital injection! Two hours into it and not one question about house prices and the RBA view.
Beacher adds that there was not much of a reaction on the markets after an initial bump upwards by the Australian dollar.
Way too much focus on the capital injection into the RBA's reserve fund in the first hour meant a lot of market participants quickly lost interest.
Here's our very brief summary on the proceedings today:
- Liberal and Labor politicans try to get Stevens on their side on the RBRF. Stevens says the top up was needed, but also that he was not losing sleep over it
- RBA would like the dollar lower, preferably below 90 US cents
- Interest rate cuts don't drive long-term growth, but other key factors such as productivity do
- RBA would welcome tapering when it starts
But where was committee member Clive Palmer? He might have been the only one not to ask about the RBRF.Back to top
Something interesting finally on the chair's question on NZ's "unconventional" controls on housing. Governor says "unconventional" increasingly conventional. The option is open, but he's not convinced regulatory tools are silver bullets. "Watch this space, work in process and we will be evaluating these things as time goes by."
And so the hearings end with a reference to Casablanca. Off all the gin joints in all the world, Clive Palmer chose not to walk into this one. Weather no doubt more sublime on the Sunshine Coast than in Canberra.
In summary, something for everyone, but nothing startling new. More healthy perspective from the RBA amidst the politics. The final area of at least considering regulatory controls if the housing market overheats probably the most "news", but each side will concentrate on their own versions of the RBRF story.
The hearing's ended after three hours. We'll post a short recap in the next few minutes.
Husic tries to score on what a tightening of fiscal policy in the next budget might do – and the governor again has something for everyone.
Says there's not a case for a pronounced discretionary tightening, that he doesn't himself feel the debt requires us to adopt that level of austerity. It's a medium term issue. A swing of $10 billion in the deficit can occur due to parameter variations and you can't do much about it. But the conversation should be about what tax we're prepared to pay compared with what we want the government to give us. Not all the things that are out there are fully funded.
Back to chair O'Dwyer for final non-RBRF questions and there's something that goes nowhere on Holden – think I'm missing Julie Owens, the previous chair of this committee.
Kelly O'Dwyer asks the governor about claims from groups such as the Greens and some economic commentators that the GM Holden departure will trigger a recession.
Stevens poor scorn on the proposition, saying "we know, don't we, that this decision been a long time coming.
"It's pretty hard to evaluate the claim that a shut down in two or three years from now is going to tip us into recession - that doesn't seem obvious to me.
"And three years time nobody is any good at forecasting the economy in all honestly.
"I don't think that's a claim that will bear much scrutiny.
"We have a manufacturing sector that's very much under acute pressure, but i don't think the holden decision as entirely, or even mostly about that, it was probably about a whole bunch of things."
Finally, a question on housing and macroprudential tools to cool a booming market.
"We've never ruled out the possibility of using regulatory tools as a adjunct to our normal tools," Stevens says. "There needs to be a period of how successful they have been.
"But I am not entirely convinced that they are going to be the silver bullet as some think," Stevens adds, noting that he, like O'Dwyer, is also watching the New Zealand housing market closely.
"Watch this space, it's a work in progress," he concludes.Back to top
O'Dwyer question on how significant the Holden pull-out for the Australian economy is.
We know it's been a long time coming, Stevens says. It's had to evaluate that a shutdown in two to three years will tip us into recession now, he adds, noting that forecasting so far out is hard.
"We have a manufacturing sector that is very much under acute pressure, with the exchange rate being one [pressure] point."
"If you could turn back time" – Cher and Kevin Hogan – to 2008, and Stephens proceeds to give fiscal and monetary policy a big tick, even with the debt numbers and projections in yesterday's MYEFO.
Healthy perspective in this answer. Despite GFC, economy is 12 or 13 per cent bigger than it was in 2008, banking system stronger than it was then, unemployment rate higher than it was, but still pretty low on historical standards. We have a period of macro-economic success that other countries wish they had. We have a build up of debt, but that's medium term issue.Even with debt numbers yesterday and projections, a lot of countries would like to have them.
"We have problems and big challenges, but I'd rather have our challenges than those I see around the table of governors I sit with."
Husic follows up by asking Stevens what he thinks of the three big risks facing the global economy - tapering, Europe's debt woes and the US debt limit - and whether any could hit in the first six months of 2014.
Stevens declares "I think we probably will see tapering in that time frame."
"I think the US is probably going to be OK. Hopefully the Europeans can muddle along, hopefully things in China can work out, there's' probably a reasonable chance of that.
"The point is, that it's still a very uncertain world and I don't foresee, really...in any near term a return tot he kind of world we had from the mid 1990s to 2006, that's a period of apparent stability and predictability we'll look back [as] a golden period to which I don't think we'll be able to return to any time soon."
Stevens' sleeping patterns is back on the agenda. (Stevens said earlier that he was not losing sleep over the RBBF)
He knocks on the table and says that in terms of his economic outlook for next year, he hopes that the US and other global economies will avoid the wobbles.
"It's a very uncertain world. ... It's hard to imagine in the near-term to return to the kind of the world we had in the years to 1996. It was a golden period to which I don't think we will return to anytime soon."
Here's more from CBA's economists on today's comments by Stevens and Lowe.
- The Governor's opening statement indicated below trend GDP growth of 2‑3 per cent per annum is the most likely outcome for 2014
- Further interest rate cuts look to be unlikely because "the cost of borrowing" is not holding back growth
- The preferred means of an easing in monetary conditions is via a lower AUD rather than another rate cut
- The Australian dollar should be in the 80 US cents [range], in the next few years, for more sustainable and balanced economic growth
Back to top
Stevens has a message for the politicians questioning him, when one plays down his power to influence policy in comparison to the RBA governor.
"The committee is looking for straight-talking leadership", he says.
"They are looking at it from me, but also from all of you. Don't underestimate that."
Here are the highlights from Stevens' and Lowe's testimonies so far, from Commonwealth Bank economists Michael Workman, Diana Mousina and Gareth Aird.
- The RBA needed the capital injection of $8.8 billion from the Federal Government to lift its reserve fund
- While there are direct methods available to influence the level of the Australian dollar, the RBA had not used them so far
- There will be spare capacity to build infrastructure where the social return is greater than the cost
- There needs to be a rigorous and transparent selection process for infrastructure projects to optimise investment
- There are opportunities for other Australian industry groups in China besides the mineral and energy exporters
- An Australian dollar above 90 US cents is "not suitable" for the economy in the longer run
Coalition members must be under orders to ask at least one question on RBRF despite nowhere left to go on it. Another newbie, bond trader turned northern NSW teacher turned National Party MP, Kevin Hogan, almost seemed reluctant but did so before moving on to seek explanation of QE.
Governor says best scenario for Australia is that Fed makes it clear they intend to taper soon without disrupting markets.
Stevens says he is looking forward to the Fed returning to normal monetary policy, and not surprisingly, says he hopes that the normalisation of policy isn't too disruptive for the rest of the world.
A real world question from Craig Kelly – why haven't small business loan rates come down as much as others, gap between cash rates and small business loan rates has grown?
Governor says "question whether there's adequate competition is an important one". Thinks we've focussed too much on mortgages when discussing competition, instead of on small businesses. But lending to small business is harder. Mortgage lending easy.
Governor brings up a point that the family home has been the collateral for small business loans (whether a good or bad thing), but with lower home ownership trends, the lack of collateral could become a problem.Back to top

Moto Yong-tai was a shugenja of the Unicorn Clan and a member of the Hidden Guard.
Shi-Tien Yen-Wang worship Edit
Her brush with the Lords of Death had left her unstable, but powerful. [1]
Test of the Jade Champion Edit
In 1169 Yong-tai asked an audience with the Khan Moto Chagatai, but each day she was dismissed. The Khan was busy with the defence of the Unicorn territory in the Lion march to Shiro Moto. She was persistent and returned every morning to ask again, and finally when Horiuchi Shem-Zhe and Iuchi Katamari where with her, Chagatai let her talk with him. The three shugenja asked to represent the Unicorn in the Jade Championship and all were granted permission. [2]
Matches Edit
Yong-tai wished to use the custom Engaging the Wind, as the duel convention, but it was not known by her opponent. She defeated the Hare Ujina Saionji using her gaijin magic. [3]
Hidden Guard Edit
After the contest Yong-tai was approached by Seppun Tomaro, a member of the Hidden Guard. He was impressed by her, and offered to enter his organization. [4] Yong-tai accepted and joined them. [5]
Winter Court - 1171 Edit
Yong-tai attended the second Winter Court of Iweko I at Kyuden Gotei in 1171. While there she aided the Ide Daimyo Ide Eien to arrange a treaty with the Phoenix Clan that would result in helping to secure the knowledge kept by those two Clans. [6]
Imperial Proclamation Edit
The Empress proclaimed that she was suspending the edict demanding the immediate execution of Daigotsu, and demanded that he be brought before her. [6]

The seven masters are Blanks that achieved great strength in Super smash Bros.: Crisis. They are extremely high ranked and answer only to the Grand Master.
The leader of the group, cgaracterized by his cannons and his red scarf. Alpara is fiercly cunning and loyal, and cares nothing for subtlety.
The only female of the group. Betrice is highly skilled with ranged techniques, and she fights best when her enemy is distracted. Her main weapon is a large shuriken, but she is known to use hard to see kneedles as well. Betrice is defeated alongside Right point of the Dark Star aboard his ship, the Evalsne.
Gameron is the largest of the group (although not by much) and the only one who lacks a face. He weilds two beam swords with uncanny proficiancy, especially when surrounded. Also, he is the only boss that has a true "weakness," if he is shocked, he will be stunned for a long duration of time.
Thetanion is the only one of the seven masters not fought bt the heroes. He is seen being defeated by Allion near the end. His powers are never shown.
Zetnon isn't the confrontational type. He prefers to manipulate events from the shadows, only revealing himself when absolutely necissary. He fights using a massive battle suit, but he is still defeated.
Epsinoron is actually two creatures in one. Well, sort of. Epsinoron is capable of creating a doppleganger of himself, which acts and reacts freely. Neither can be damaged by normal means, only the other Epsinoron can damage it. They are outsmarted by Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, Pikachu and Daisy.
Omegron is simply the strongest if the seven masters, so much so that he is kept locked up, under several dozens of locks, chains and iron balls as well as in a deep sleep. It has the power to disentegrate objects and opponents, and gains power as it grows angry. Ultimately, its power turns against it and Omegron disentegrates itself.

|Luke 6:39-40
Display Chapter and Footnotes
39 Then he spoke a parable to them, "Can the blind lead the blind? Shall they not both fall into a ditch? [How do we know who is blind? The next verses tells us that a blind guide is someone who has not been perfected; who therefore cannot see to take the spec out of his brother's eye, and evil comes from his mouth. From the Word of the Lord within: "I work with the blind; but if you think you can see, and you are not with me in heaven, I will make you a laughingstock."]
40 The disciple is not above his master, but everyone who is perfect [purified, restored to the spiritual image of God, specifically authorized, and perfected] will be like his master. [If you are following an unperfected minister, you have been led into the ditch. Unperfected ministers seek their own glory and your money. Jesus told us to leave the unperfected, thus blind, guides, which blindness he further discusses in the next verses.]

Leaders Swansea City defeated ten-man Yeovil Town 2-0 at The Liberty Stadium.Swansea City moved three points clear at the top of League One after a 2-0 victory over Yeovil Town.
Swans striker Lee Trundle proved the difference on Friday evening at The Liberty Stadium, with his first goal coming from the penalty spot on 25 minutes.
Yeovil's task in South Wales was made harder when Lee Johnson was sent off for a second bookable offence on 53 minutes.
Trundle made sure Kenny Jackett's side went clear at the summit - albeit for 24 hours at least - when he scored his second goal on 67 minutes for the two-goal victory.

- Get all the information you need about Cornell's game at Minnesota today (7 p.m. local time tip off) with The Cornell Basketball Blog's Game Preview Center.
- From Rivals.com:
Minnesota coach Tubby Smith said he doesn't expect to have one of his top defenders, starting point guard Al Nolen, in the lineup for at least the next couple of weeks. Judging by their first game without him, it might be a rough couple of weeks for the Golden Gophers.
With Nolen likely out again, No. 15 Minnesota will try to bounce back from its first loss of the season Saturday night against visiting Cornell.
Smith announced last Saturday that Nolen had an injured foot, one day before his team ascended to its highest ranking in his three-plus seasons.
"It is really tough," senior guard Blake Hoffarber said. "(Nolen) is one of the best defenders in the country. Hopefully, he can get back soon. Anytime you're missing your point guard, it's going to be tough on the team."
Without Nolen, the Gophers (6-1) were outscored 58-40 in the second half Monday, and gave up a season high for points in an 87-79 home loss to Virginia. Smith called his team's effort "pathetic."
"It was probably one of our worst defensive games in a while," said Hoffarber, who scored a team-best 19 points. "Hopefully this will be a wakeup call for us."
Starting forward Rodney Williams was also limited to a season-low seven minutes because of a sprained ankle, and his status is unknown for Saturday. The Gophers, though, should have one of their top reserves, Devoe Joseph, on the floor for the second time since serving a six-game suspension for a violation of team rules.
The junior guard scored 16 points in his season debut after averaging 9.4 as a sophomore. He'll next try to help hand Cornell its first five-game losing streak since the end of the 2003-04 campaign.
The Big Red (2-5) will also try to avoid their second loss to a Top 25 opponent in as many games. They fell 78-58 at No. 8 Syracuse on Tuesday.
While compiling a school and Ivy League record 29 victories last season, Cornell won two of five matchups against ranked teams, and lost by only five at then-top ranked Kansas.
The Big Red, who also advanced to the NCAA tournament regional semifinals, returned just one starter from that team, junior guard Chris Wroblewski.
Wroblewski is averaging a team-best 13.8 points despite not having fully recovered from a sprained ankle. He also missed the first two games after suffering a broken nose in a preseason practice.
Wroblewski scored nine points during a 71-54 loss at Minnesota on Dec. 6, 2008. The Big Red led by as much as 13 in that game but were outscored 43-14 in the second half.
Ralph Sampson III was one of three Gophers players in double figures with 10 points and had a team-best six rebounds.
Minnesota has a 5-0 lead in the series, but one of those wins during the 1976-77 season was later forfeited due to the Gophers' use of an ineligible player.
- From Scout.com:
The Gophers will look to get back in the win column against the Cornell Big Red on Saturday night. Minnesota is coming off their first loss of the season to Virginia and will need to play better tonight to knock off Cornell.
Game Outlook: The Gophers are coming off their first loss of the season to Virginia in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. In the game, the Gophers' defense struggled, giving up 87 points to the visiting Cavaliers. The absence of point guard Al Nolen was most noticeable on the defensive end. After an extended period of preparation, look for Minnesota to have a much more improved and energetic defense against the Big Red.
One of the keys to tonight's game will be the play of the Gopher's big men. Colton Iverson and Ralph Sampson struggled last game to get anything going. Iverson and Sampson, as well as Trevor Mbakwe, will need to show their dominance against a smaller Cornell team. The Big Red are not a very good team on the boards averaging 31.1 rebounds per game while giving up 41.1. The Gophers' bigs should be able to crash the glass, get rebounds and score easy second chance points in the paint.
The key to the game for Cornell will be their three-point shooting. As a team, the Big Red are shooting over 34% from deep. Snipers like Chris Wroblewski (13.8 ppg) and Drew Ferry (10.0 ppg) will look to get hot from behind the line to sink the Gophers with three-point shooting. Minnesota will need to improve their perimeter defense if they want to stop the Big Red attack.
Season to Date: Cornell has had struggles early this year, standing with a current record of 2-5. The Big Red beat the University of Albany in their home opener and dominated the University of Delaware by a score of 75-61. The team has had to play some tough team in their non-conference schedule, including Boston University, Lehigh and Syracuse. The Big Red are not the same team they were last year in the NCAA Tournament but are still a solid squad who will be looking for a big upset tonight.
Coaching Preview: Bill Courtney is in his first season as head coach for the Big Red. Courtney has a lengthy resume with 15 years of assistant coach experience with Virginia, Virginia Tech and George Mason. Only 39 years old, Courtney will be looking for his first win against a ranked team as a head coach.
Quote to Note:Tubby Smith on the team's recent lack of defense, "We need more defensive intensity and more defensive pressure at the point of attack."
Random Fact: Cornell beat Temple and Wisconsin on their way to a Sweet 16 berth last season. The 12th seeded Big Red eventually lost to Kentucky by a score of 62-45.
Series History: The Gophers and Big Red have met a total of five times. The last time the teams met was during the 2008-2009 season with the Gophers winning by a score of 71-54, coming back from 12 points behind. The series started back in 1903-1904 with a Gopher victory, 46-18.
- From the Daily Gopher:
Your Minnesota Golden Gophers look to get back into the W column against the Cornell Big Red.
Game Time: 7:00 pm
TV: Big Ten Network
Radio: WCCO and the Gopher radio network
This is not the same Ryan Wittman led Big Red team that stormed through the NCAA Tournament last year representing the Ivy League. This team is 2-5 with wins over Delaware and Albany.
The Gophers are expected to be without Al Nolen once again but the schedule gives this team a chance to get things figured out without their point guard. Hopefully Rodney Williams is closer to full strength and Devoe Joseph can get himself back into leading this team in the absence of Nolen. It is unfortunate that Cornell's leading scorer is also their point guard, Nolen is our best defender and I'd feel pretty good if he were defending Wroblewski.
Statistically, Cornell is a terrible rebounding team and they don't shoot all that well. Defensively they give up offensive rebounds on over a third of shots. And their effective FG% ranks 250th in the nation. Conversely we hit the offensive glass very well and our effective FG% ranks 46th nationally. I don't want to be too overconfident but even if the Gophers struggle this should be a win.

blog - nutrition 101
Anyone that has had a consultation with me will know that at some point I will ask about their poo. They will also know that I like all the 'gory' details: colour, size, shape, frequency, etc.
The reason why I always ask is that it never fails to amaze me how many people have no idea what a 'normal' bowel movement should be.
This gives me the perfect opportunity to big up the nutritional benefits of the pumpkin. My local supermarket has been totally cleared out of all pumpkins large and small, and I guess most of them will end up being carved and used as lanterns. However, this delicious vegetable offers lots of potential on the nutrition front, so great to use them in cooking as well
The old adage goes 'breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dine like a pauper'. Certainly when I was training considerable importance was placed on eating a good well-balanced breakfast; the prospect of skipping breakfast was viewed with horror and regarded as a complete no-no. However, interestingly I have readjusted my thinking on this in recent times…..
When I was studying nutrition the mantra we were taught was 'little and often' - 3 meals and 2 snacks was considered to be the right way to eat and very important to ensure that blood sugar remained balanced. This was an approach that I followed for very many years both with my own diet and with my clinic clients....however, is this still the case now?

La Langua Norelîenne
Norelian is a Romance language spoken on the island of Noreliand (English)-or Norelîa (Norelian) off the coast of Western Europe. Norelîa is the child of ancient Atlantis, as Italy is of Rome. Noreliand is not far away from France, so there are many cognates with French. They also have a few dreaded silent letters, the most obvious one is that many words have a silent 'e' on the end. If an 'e' at the end of a word isn't accented- é - then it simply isn't pronounced. Norelîenne, as native speakers call it, is based of Latin, French, English, Spanish, and some Italian. I'm hoping to make to make Norelian into a fully functional, modern language full of words that are aesthetically pleasing to both the eyes, and the ears. I also want to make the fictional island of Noreliand have a unique culture, and mindset which the language will reflect. Norelîenne isn't nessecarily meant to be an international language, but if anyone ever wanted to learn it or spread the language, they wouldn't start out without a base culture. Norelian isn't trying to be the next Esperanto or Volapük, though I definitely wouldn't mind!
- Note that my conlang is still in its infancy, and that I will probably continue to develop and change it.
I also ask that no one edit my article in a drastic way, and to please ask for my permission before editing.
Basic GrammarEdit
Here is a basic grammar:
l'Alphesse- the AlphabetEdit
Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee Ff Gg Hh Ii Îî Jj Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Qq Rr Ss Tt Uu Vv Xx Yy Zz
- Norelîenne also uses the following letters :
á é ï í ó ú
Pronounciation Edit
vowels Edit
a as is saw
e as in lay; e as in let
i as in him
î as in sleep
o as in low
u as in fun
ou as in you
ai as in my
au as in cow
oy as in soy
eau as in go
consonants Edit
b, d, f, h, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, x, y, z, similar to English; the rest:
c can sound hard- cat-, or soft- century-
g can also sound hard- grass-, or soft like 'j'
- for both c and g, it really just depends on the word (I wanted it to be like many natural languages in this).*
j has a sound a sound similar to the 'z' in azure
q has the sound of 'cw' as in queen, though 'que' sounds like a hard 'c' at the end of words-musîque, or republîque.
Articles Edit
Nouns do not have gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) in Norelîenne, although there is evidence that they did at one time. There is one definite article:
la which corresponds to the English the
When la comes before a vowel sound, it condenses to the front of the word, and it is slurred together when pronounced: la + Alphesse = l'Alphesse
la + anîmale = l'anîmale
When la comes before a plural nouns such as chattes, it turns into les:
la + chattes = les chattes
la + maisones = les maisones
There is also one indefinite article, that takes two forms depending upon the following sound of the noun:
un or una which correspond to the English a
The form of a, un is used before vowel sounds:
un anîmale, never una anîmale
un apis, never una apis
The form of a, una is used before all consonant sounds:
una chîen, never un chîen
una boullen, never un boullen

moi- me
vou- you (informal)
anou- you (polite)
il- he
elle- she
zam- it
aullîe- we

nérîe- one (as in: -One could go there, but I don't think its very safe.)
nérîmenne- oneself
Jaménne- myself
vourez- yourself (informal)

Adjectives Edit
In Norelian, like in other Romance languages the adjective goes before the noun. For example it's not a blanque chîen, it is chîen blanque. This rule holds true- (la donna bella, la fleur amariss...) -until one uses numbers to describe a noun. What if you wanted to say two days? You would say: dua ares, not ares dua.
The same is true when using possessive pronouns: «Mon maison etenne...»- "My house is..." «Aullîne aré, etanne aresîe! »- "Our day is today!"
It's really not that difficult with adjectives, you just have to remember the rules. (Tré donnas, la ellîe papilîos.)
Here is a list of some common adjectives you'll be likely to come across (not in alphabetical order):
bella- pretty, beautiful
adorablé- adorable, cute
blonde- blonde (used for males, and females)
ruberése- red haired
brunette- brown-haired
noirése- black-haired
blanquerése- white-haired
grîsarése- gray-haired
féante- ugly
amusánte- fun, funny
intelligénte- smart, intelligent
bonne- good
mauvaiz- bad, incorrect
terrîblé- terrible
horeurmén- horrible
nouveau- new (used for inanimate objects- l'auto nouveau- the new car)
nouvelle- new (used for people and animals- «elle etanne una donna nouvelle »- "she is a new woman")
ancîen (this 'c' sounds like 'sh')- ancient, old- could be used as an insult
vîalle- old, out-of-date
bonnamuseé- wonderful, entertaining
Verbs Edit
Most verbs in Norelian conjugate according to a set pattern, these are called regular verbs.
A good exaple of a regular is: parler, which means to speak. (Nouns are always talked about in their infinitive form, which means they are unconjugated.)
Here is how it conjugates:
Ja parlé - add é
vou/anou parlé -add é
il parlene -add ene
elle parlene -add ene
aullîe parlese -add ese
vou'alles parlîe -add îe
lemme parlanne -add anne
(really more of an index of words)

Norelian Customs Edit
Though it may not be that important, the imaginary island of Noreliand has its own unique customs and way of looking at the world. I will put here whatever I feel is important (most of it made up as I go along!), from ancient folk customs to the modern-day government.
Government and Quick Facts Edit
Official Name: The Kingdom of Noreliand, and the United Norelian Empire
Capital City: Navarra
Population: about 183 million (183,000,000)
Size: about 3 and a half million sq. kilometers
Official language: Norelian (Portuguese is also widely used in the immigrant communities from Portugal and Brazil)
Type of Government: a hereditary monarchy
Head of State and Government: the Monarch (king or queen)
Branches of Government:
1. The Monarchy- makes laws, judgements, and executive decisions.
2. The Parliament- makes laws, decides some judgements; members of Parliament elected from the common class of citizens and helps the monarch govern fairly; the leader of the Parliament is called the Premier, and works closely as an advisor to the monarch.
3. The High Court- makes judgements about how laws are to be interpreted, and helps to decide difficult cases.
Divisions of Noreliand Edit
Though the overseas territories may look somewhat independent, they all recognize Noreliand's authority, and influence over them. Noreliand has more power than the other 5 kingdoms. Noreliand is first divided into 6 major divisions or kingdoms (royamés)
1. Norelîa
2. Quellanés
3. Afrîque-Ocîdentale
4. Genesáu
5. Hivernîa

With legalized marijuana use in two states in America and Vancouver leading the charge for Canada, more states & provinces will surely follow suit in the next few years. Progress happens slowly but it is good for the average pot smoker not to have to rely on shady drug dealers for their use of a plant. Cannabis has many medicinal qualities in addition to the mellow high it produces with no ill effects in most users.
(1) What To Look For When Finding Internet Weed
There are some things to look for when you go online to search for legitimate mail order marijuana companies like McChronalds. One, it is a good idea to find out whether the sites you are searching ask you to download another type of browser called Tor. Tor is free to upload and supposedly disguises your IP address in addition to other information in order to keep pesky authorities out, and encrypts your transactions to make it supposedly impossible for someone else to see what you are doing or buying. It is all very cloak and dagger. Why?
Another red flag is the insistence on buying the digital currency bit coin with which to pay. So, you're uploading a browster which is encrypted and keeps your business top secret in addition to using real money to buy digital money to buy pot. If you're going to do all that, you may as well buy pot from some shady whispering figure at the nearest street corner. That is not progress. It's also a big risk.
As well as ordering Tor, you will also need to create a virtual wallet in which to keep your virtual anonymous currency, and then order marijuana online from any site that has onion at the end of it. If the site you are looking at has onion at the end of it, you do not want to order from them.
Keep in mind that legitimate business people are not the only people who are cashing in on the new emerging Black Market and Gray Market on mail order marijuana in legalized and non legalized areas. There will be the population of criminals to contend with as well. Criminals who know how to cover their tracks and make not only themselves but their potential victims, anonymous and untraceable.
Once you buy weed online, that's it, there is no refund. If you buy bitcoin and then use your virtual wallet to buy online marijuana from a site that is anonymous and untraceable using your new encrypted Tor browser, whatever transaction you make is anonymous and untraceable. You just spent $100 for Mango Kush. Okay, great. Possibility number one is that you may never get what you just spent all that money for. They may not send anything to you at all. Possibility number two is that they may send you sub par product that you could have grown yourself in your window box and then pass it off as Kush.
The point is that if you are not careful about the mail order marijuana site or sites you use to purchase your weed, there is no recourse. There is no going back and asking for a refund. There is no customer service department to harass into getting your money back. Once they have your money, that's it. That is the sunny possibility.
The other possiblity is that your weed, that you just spent $100 on, comes to you laced with something else. You won't know until you put it into your body. That is the real danger. You could have been smoking pot for the last twenty years and be an expert on every kind of pot there is on Earth and how it's grown and under what conditions and what it smells like etc, and you won't know you've been poisoned until its too late. That is the real risk, but trust me. The law is 100% deligent in finding and dealing with these people. So i wouldnt be too worried about getting poisoned, Just use your head.
Getting ripped off is nothing compared to putting something in your body that you thought was safe and benign and then having hallucinations and tripping because you ordered weed from someone who is unethical and apathetic and really could care less what happens to you after you smoke their product. They just want your money. Think about all the hoops you just had to jump through just to become anonymous enough for them to sell to you. Is that normal? Um, not really dude.
Picture this: You're at a friend's house toking through a big fat carrot because he dropped his bong on the tile floor the other day and it broke. That's okay, because we can always find something to smoke weed out of can't we? So we drill a hole in the top of the carrot down to the mid point and then we cut the tip off and drill the second hole right through the tip. Then we drop in a little Diesel and puff, puff pass, dude because its 420.
Now you stop smiling and you jump up and tear madly at your clothes and strip off everything you've got on and run to the bathroom because now you're convinced you're bleeding to death through every orifice in your body. Your heart is thundering in your chest, you're shaking like a wet leaf in a thunderstorm and your palms are clammy as you look at the pale flesh of your ass in the bathroom mirror looking for the sure sign you're dying from the inside.
It's not fun, realizing that you've been smoking weed laced with something else. No one is going to tell you they added something "extra special" to your Crippie. It will just be a nice surprise for you as you sputter and cough and your face turns red and you're still naked in the bathroom or maybe back in the living room trying to figure out why you turn your head and your vision follows three to five seconds later on a time release delay.
The point is that if you're lucky, you'll survive this bad trip and probably it will take 6-8 hours to come down from a grand mal panic attack brought on by whatever special ingredient your mysterious benefactor added to your stash. If you're not lucky, whatever they added could react badly with whatever other medications you may be taking and you may have time in the emergency room ahead of you; again, if you're lucky.
We're adults. We don't get do overs, especially on mail order marijuana. So this is why its important that you take the time to do the research and make sure your online weed purchasing experience is pleasant and safe the first time you buy. Buying marijuana online should be enjoyable as in "Oh boy I'm getting a bag of weed in the mail, how cool is that?" rather than "Oh my god, what if I don't get it at all or what if its tainted or tastes like cilantro?"
Another thing to look for is the amount of information about what kinds of weed and associated products are available on the weed site. If the site is set up like a store or an online pharmaceutical company with a plethora of information on all the different kinds of weed that you can purchase and what they smell like and what the high feels like and what other things you can do with the weed rather than just smoke it.
A mail order marijuana website sells weed online, so if the site doesn't specifically say that it will not sell to children or that you have to be 21 to order, than you will want to avoid that site as well. Again, we're adults. If we want to smoke pot, that is our prerogative, but who among us would give or sell pot to kids? Kids are curious little creatures and they do have internet access and its not hard to get mom's credit card out of her purse while she takes a nap on the couch or goes to the bathroom, or leaves it on the counter.
(a) There should be some ethical guidelines for what we expect from other people even if they are selling weed online, it doesn't matter. It gives us a sense of security to order products from people who play by the rules. For a retailer to show integrity in their business practices creates a level of comfort and security among its consumers. If they break one rule, such as selling to children, what other rules might they break? Who wants to give money to someone already sliding down the slippery slope of ethics? Buyer beware indeed.
(b) The best way to be aware is to be armed with knowledge about your online weed purchasing options and how it is supposed to work. Does the site specify the time delay between ordering and receiving product? Does the site have any consumer recourse if the product is not received or if its the wrong product or the wrong amount?
Buying Marijuana online is not like buying shoes on Google unless you get access to McChronalds. Again, you're putting this IN your body, either by inhaling or by ingesting and if you plan to share yours stash with others, like most people do (pot smokers tend to be very generous people), you also have a responsibility to those you plan to share the product with that it be free of additives, for your safety and theirs.
There are several mail order marijuana websites where contacting the distributor is only a matter of the click of the mouse to the chat button or the contact us button so that if you have any questions or concerns, there is a safe platform for you to do so. Distributors who care not only for their reputation in the community but the welfare of their clientele will want to make you feel safe and confortable. These sites are legitimate and will address your questions and concerns to make the purchasing of your lovely weed a pleasant and interesting experience.
Then, all you have to do is wait for the mailman to show up at your house either scrunching his nose at your mail or asking to come in to take a few hits off your carrot. Dude, that would rock!
|1. McChronalds
1) Buyweedonline.ca- this site is run by one man, McChronalds who has an extensive website with a wide variety of product offerings, including Sour Diesel, Old School OG Kush, Blueberry Kush, Bubble Hash, and Master Kush. The site is relatively new but he adds different concepts to his site on a regular basis.
Also, he indicates several times throughout the site that Mail Order Marijuana is for ADULTS ONLY. He will not deal with anyone under the age of 21, period end of story. He will also not deal with any one not in Canada.
How the site works: You fill out the form completely including your name, your address and your telephone number. Once you register on the site, you will be in the Call Queue. He will call you to A) screen you to verify the information you put on your form and B) find out what your preferences are. Really this is excellent customer service, and it makes sense for him to verify your bonafides before doing business.
In addition to the order form and the info section about the man behind the site, there are also chat forums, awesome weed songs (songs you can listen to while toking or eating cookies) that will help produce the kind of mood you are looking for.
There are different tabs for territories that you will need to pay attention to as well as Canada is a very large country and depending what province you live in, there are specific parameters for how things will need to be done. Everything is straight up and direct. No guess work. I like that in a website, two thumbs up.
|2. Budbuddy
3) budbuddy.biz- This site has an extensive product offering as well as similar pricing schedules for the two sites listed above for their mail order marijuana. Budbuddy also offers advice on dosage for each product for those not used to marijuana products, what the effects are on the body, and what the product is made of. I found that quite impressive.
Also, there was a list of FAQs, a Payment tab, indicating payment through email money transfer, money orders, or cash. Most of the sites that accept cash suggest either rolling it up in tinfoil and mailing it that way, if that is the route you plan to travel, or putting it in between heavy card stock papers and putting it in an envelope and mailing it that way Canadian xpress post, rather than regular mail. Bud
Like the other two sites I mentioned above, Budbuddy will ship 1-2 business days after payment is received and you can expect your shipment to arrive in around 3-6 business days, provided you gave them the right information for shipping.
This site also has guarantees and this section of the site says that if you do not receive your product, they will generally replace all or part of it ONCE. Keep in mind, this whole process is on the honor system, so if you pay for something and they ship it to you and it does not get there, they will re ship ONE TIME. If they re ship a second time, for free this time and you say you did not get it, they will not believe you.
Budbuddy does not specify an age restriction although it does specify that it will not do business with anyone outside of Canada. All five websites I researched for this article specified Canada only.
Rating: One Thumb up and one thumb a third of the way up. I would give it two thumbs up if it specified an age restriction tending towards adults.
|3. Budmail
5) BCbudmail.biz- this site has the least information for someone who wants to find out about the product offerings, the company policy regarding any refunds or guarantees, and there is literally no actual information on this site. The information given is the website address, a photo logo, a gmail email address (at least its not encrypted), and form of payment accepted, which, of course, is email money transfer.
BCbudmail does indicate that they have a minimum order requirement of $40.00 Canadian and only operates within the confines of the Country of Canada, like all of the other sites rated for this article. The three informational tabs at the top of the page are as follows: Main page, Instructions, and order now.
If you have any questions, you can direct those questions to the gmail address shown on the main page. That's it. No Cool weed songs, no photos of Cannabis cookies, no photos of Kush, no FAQ's, no age restriction listed, um.....what's wrong with this picture?
Rating: Really needs to work on his website and make it more buyer friendly. I will not rate the service as I have not used the service, but I will point out that the purpose of a company having a website is that its an online storefront. If you're walking through a mall in person and you stop to look into a store and it does not seem to have anything in it, are you going to stay there?
|4. Mom
2) momcanada.ca- this site is also fairly extensive with a list of product offerings from edibles to oils. This site also has an age warning but its 19, not 21. This site also specifies that it will not do business with anyone outside the Canadian borders, it says it right in the website and also offers a disclaimer for lost product due to post office mishap including damage, loss due to mail to the wrong address, etc. This site also specifically tells the potential buyer that there are NO REFUNDS.
The payment method is email transfer from a Canadian Bank. The payment method is not unusual as all of the sites rated in this article accept email transfer method. Some sites also accept either money orders or cash. This site does not accept cash or money order. Only email transfer.
In the FAQ section, it is shown that Health Canada patients with the proper documentation are the ones who are growing and putting together all the orders so that no one receiving the orders in their special non descript envelopes securely vacuum sealed get in trouble.
There is also a large disclaimer at the bottom of the page that indicates that use of marijuana products aside from medical marijuana usage is illegal in Canada. This seems a little strange because they go out of their way to indicate in another section that all of the growers are Health Canada patients with proper documents.
This site is direct about how it does business but it gives a definite impression that its willing to sell to people who are not using the marijuana for medical reasons but insists that is the only purpose the site is for. Definitely a contradiction in terms.
|5. MerryJane Mail
4) Merryjanemail.biz- This site has less information on it than the first three, and also this is the first mention I have seen of a request by a company that a potential buyer find themselves an encrypted email. (Rikes!) There are no refunds and no guarantees. That is honest, but troubling.
The product offering is about the same as the other sites, as is the pricing schedule, but the disclaimer is that the email transfers are picked up using fake names and there is no contact information on the website except the encrypted email address you use to order and ask questions. There is not as much information on this site as there is on the first three I mentioned and I find that troubling.
The questions answered on the FAQ section are more about whether or not you will get in trouble for using the site and how to pay and how long it takes to get but there is no recourse if something happens and there is no information about who runs the site or why they opened up the site (ie happy tokers). There is nothing personal or interesting about the site. The impression I got was send me an encrpted email with what you want, send me the money and buyer beware.
No thank you.....
Rating: Both thumbs off to the side
In conclusion, there are a lot of online mail order marijuana websites, most of which operate only in Canada. That is one of the few things all five sites had in common. Two sites had age restrictions, all five seem to have similar pricing. Do your research prior to ordering marijuana products online.
Be careful who you are dealing with. Before ordering mail order marijuana, think about who you would be comfortable dealing with in person. Peruse the whole site before making a decision. Ask questions. If the questions you are asking are not on the FAQ page, ask the seller using the email address on the site.
