Join our Facebook page for interesting historical facts on Tangier Island, updates, beautiful photos and more!
Chart a course back in time to the small, picturesque island of Tangier.
Once visited by John Smith in 1608, the island has changed little since it was first settled by John Crockett in 1686. Along the way, you'll see some of the most beautiful scenery the Chesapeake Bay and Tangier Sound have to offer. As the boat makes the 14 mile trip out to the island, you'll see the chain of islands that form the Tangier Sound and the waterfowl that inhabit the bay. You'll learn the history of the other islands namely Fox Island, Watts Island, and Port Isobel.
Upon arrival, you'll discover a way of life quickly disappearing from America. Browse the quaint town with its narrow streets designed for walking or cycling, mingle with the island natives, and enjoy the peace and tranquility this one mile by three island offers. Stroll by the lone school that provides classes for kindergarten through high school, then wander out to the one of four different restaurants to eat some great seafood. Spend time relaxing by the dock watching the crab boats come and go from the harbor.
Tangier Island has a population of about 600 people, most of whom speak a unique English Restoration era dialect of American English. The island was once inhabited by farmers but became a fishing community in the 1800's when the Chesapeake Bay was first harvested for its crabs and oysters. The people of today's Tangier Island, survive with a livelihood wrenched by the unpredictable waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
A visit to Tangier Island is unlike any place you've ever experienced. Come with us as we step back in time…

Useful Information
The Weather
The weather varies greatly within the Sámi Country. The Gulf Stream brings warm currents to the coasts of Norway, making the weather conditions on the coasts milder than in inland Sámi Country. The fjords rarely freeze, and in summer, the temperature may rise to as high as 25-30 degrees Celsius. Inland Sámi Country may have temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius in winter, but the temperatures in summer are mostly similar to those on the coasts.
In winter, it is necessary to wear warm clothing because the temperature may drop to as low as 50 degrees Celsius. Those planning a mountain hike or a fishing excursion should take with them a good pair of shoes/boots and warm outdoor clothes. Waterproof clothes are also necessary, because the weather conditions change rapidly in the north.
Forms of Payment
Most credit cards are accepted in the Sámi Country. If you are planning a trip to small villages or if you are planning to hike in Norway from one mountain cottage to another, it is worth taking cash along, because credit cards are not accepted everywhere.
Information about Excursions
Travel bureaus offer information and brochures about excursions and sights. Get in contact with a travel bureau or contact the organisers directly.
Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish are official languages in Scandinavia. In the Sámi regions, Sámi is also regarded as an official language. English is spoken widely, especially among with younger people.
"Kaamos" Time and the Midnight Sun
In the winter, "Kaamos" takes over in areas north of the Arctic Circle. In the summer, the midnight sun shines in this same area of the Sámi Country. During "Kaamos", the sun remains below the horizon from November to January, and the days are quite dark and short. In the summer, on the other hand, from May to the end of July, the sun doesn`t set at all, so even the nights are bright.
The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)
From November to February, it is possible to see the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis north of the Arctic Circle. This magical luminescent phenomenon is so indescribably beautiful, that it should not be left without experiencing!
It is possible to buy Sámi handicrafts from the Sámi Country. Notice, however, that also being sold are products of "mass production", or products sold as "genuine" Sámi handicrafts. Sámi culture is being exploited by the tourism industry, and non-Sámi sell all kinds of "Lapland products" as real handicraft. Someone unfamiliar with the difference may have trouble telling these apart, so it is worth asking.
Nature has always provided material and spiritual foundation for the Sámi. Sámi culture has continually adapted itself to the surrounding natural conditions and utilised the environment sparingly.
Moving Around in the Wilderness
The laws guarantee the right for anyone to move around in uninhabited areas: in the mountains, in the forests and along the shores. It should, however, be remembered that e.g. berries cannot be gathered everywhere, because the area in question may be privately owned. Respect nature, and carry your garbage and waste with you out of the wilderness.
The Sámi Country
The region of the Sámi, the Sámi Country, reaches from the middle of northern Norway and Sweden all the way to the north of Finland and the Kola Peninsula. The Sámi are a people living across the boundaries of four states, and who have their own languages, culture and history.
Altogether, there are 60 000 - 100 000 Sámi. 40 000 - 45 000 live in Norway, of which half live in Finnmark or the Ruija Municipality. In Sweden, there are around 15 000 — 25 000 Sámi, in Finland around 7200 and in Russia around 2000.
In these four countries, there are 50 000 Sámis who speak the Sámi language; most of them speak Northern Sámi. There are ten Sámi languages and dialects. These are divided into two main groups: the western and the eastern group. The western language group includes Northern, Luleå, Pite, Umeå, and Southern Sámi. The eastern language group includes Inari, Skolt, Akkala, Kildin and Turja Sámi. The language borders do not correspond to state borders, but for example, Northern, Luleå and Southern Sámi are spoken in more than only one state.
The Sámi are the descendants of the nation inhabiting Northern Fennoscandia after the Ice Age, about 10 000 years ago. This nation depended largely upon fishing and hunting, and for thousands of years, their lifestyle was based on various livelihoods due to the barren natural conditions, forcing them to constantly change their means of survival.
Today, the Sámi are a modern indigenous people. Only a small portion continue to live from what nature provides. Three Scandinavian countries, Norway, Sweden and Finland, each have their own Sámi Parliaments, with a Sámi-elected parliament. The Sámi Parliaments possess a consultative status.

Duke Forward hits $2 billion mark
Duke University's seven-year comprehensive fundraising campaign, Duke Forward, has reached $2 billion of its $3.25 billion goal, including $787 million raised for Duke Medicine, President Richard H. Brodhead announced Thursday.
Brodhead called this a "significant milestone" for the campaign, which is raising money to enrich the student experience in and out of the classroom, invest in faculty, and support research and initiatives focused on training leaders to address some of society's biggest challenges.
"Duke Forward is about giving life to big ideas," Brodhead said. "The impact of the groundbreaking work by our faculty and students spans continents, shapes policy and ultimately, helps to prepare for a better future. Reaching the $2 billion mark is a testament to the powerful faith people have in Duke's mission and Duke's future. We're tremendously grateful to the many alumni, parents and friends who have shared in moving Duke forward."
Every dollar donated to Duke's 10 schools and units, Duke Medicine, or university programs and initiatives counts toward the campaign's goal. As of March, Duke Medicine had reached 66 percent of its $1.2 billion goal, and nearly all schools and units were beyond their halfway mark.
Campaign co-chairs Anne T. Bass, Bruce Karsh and David Rubenstein are among the top donors, their gifts totaling more than $150 million.
"The world's most challenging and pressing problems won't be solved by one person working in isolation. These issues require nimbleness of mind and approach -- and that's where Duke comes in," said Bass, whose son is a Duke graduate. She and her husband, Robert, donated $50 million to launch Bass Connections, an initiative that encourages Duke students and faculty to collaborate across traditional academic boundaries to respond to critical global issues.
Karsh, who graduated from Duke in 1977, gave $50 million with his wife, Martha, in support of financial aid. "We believe it's paramount that all students, no matter where they come from, have the opportunity for a quality education," he said.
"Duke is fortunate to attract the best and the brightest from around the world, and its commitment to financial aid helps many of these talented students attend Duke and contribute to the diverse, vibrant student experience that we treasure," Karsh said.
Rubenstein, co-founder of The Carlyle Group and chairman of the Duke Board of Trustees, was one of the students who benefited from a scholarship. "I've been indebted to Duke ever since," said the 1970 graduate.
"Duke Forward is going to help Duke University propel itself to be one of the best universities in the world," said Rubenstein, whose gifts include more than $12 million to the Sanford School of Public Policy, $15 million to the Innovation & Entrepreneurship initiative, $10 million to the Duke Athletics Department and $13.6 million to Duke University Libraries, the largest commitment ever made to the library system.

Lucy Lawless and six other Greenpeace activists have been high atop a tower on the oil tanker Noble Discoverer for almost 24 hours now, hoping to keep the Shell-contracted ship in its New Zealand port instead of heading to the Arctic. And despite the cold weather and daunting heights, and of course, the threat of arrest, the actress sounds every bit as fierce as the Warrior Princess character that made her a household name — in a peaceful way, of course.
"On watch. Pretty chilly but wind has died down. Can't imagine being on this tub in the Arctic circle. These guys must freeze #savethearctic," she tweeted, before urging protesters across the globe to remember the environmental organization's nonviolent mission. "I hear there are protests at Shell Stns in Europe. Remember, we must be instruments of Peace. #savethearctic."
In a blog post for Greenpeace, she admitted that the climb wasn't a picnic. "I'm safe, I'm ok, my carabiners are sound, but it was pretty scary! I think I'd rather be home with a latte, but I don't feel that I had a choice," she wrote. "Clearly in a cost/benefit analysis, Shell reckons that an Arctic spill is an acceptable risk to them. But make no mistake, due to the harshness and remoteness of the Arctic environment, an oil spill up there will make the Gulf of Mexico look like a children's party."
Police said that they reached an agreement with the ship's owners and the port to leave the protesters where they are for the night, according to Radio New Zealand. They have the equipment necessary to remove the seven from their perch, police said, but they don't want to jeopardize anyone's safety by using force. We're just waiting for Kevin Sorbo to get in on the action.

This is my favorite type of pizza. Just simple ingredients: creamy mozzarella, rich tomato sauce, salty parmesan and sweet basil. It's great. Some call this Pizza Margherita. I call it Top Shelf Pizza, and apparently The Grove does too. The Grove is a restaurant located in Westlake Hills. They have a few gluten-free friendly options, including gluten-free pizza (Gluten-Free Kneads crusts). On rainy days, or days when I'm feeling just plain lazy, I love to call in orders to-go at The Grove. I often order their Top Shelf Pizza. Comforting, simple and delicious. [Read more...]

The Gluten-Free Pizza Fest, Day 1: Dessert Pizza
Welcome to the first recipe installment for The Gluten-Free Pizza Fest! I am so excited to share this event with you all. I hope you enjoy all the recipes we have coming up the next several days. Growing up, I always loved dessert pizzas made with apples. This is strange, because I am not a dessert person at all. As you can tell from my blog recipe index; I love to create main dishes, snacks and appetizers. Don't get me wrong…an occasional cookie, slice of cake or key lime pie are delicious. But, I'd rather have something salty or savory. This pizza is special because it is both savory and sweet. You will enjoy this pizza time and time again! [Read more...]

Simple Tomato Sauce (Gluten-Free)
Everybody needs a few sauces in their repertoire. Sauces are an easy way to amp up the flavor and add a unique spin to a recipe. I have several I love to use including: BBQ sauce, walnut-basil pesto, champagne-butter sauce, black bean sauce, roasted red bell pepper sauce, and now this lovely tomato sauce. Use this tomato sauce recipe for your favorite spaghetti dish, pizza sauce and more. [Read more...]
Butternut Squash Pizza with Goat Cheese and Fried Sage
Butternut squash is one of my favorite fall vegetables. I love to use it in soups, sauces, salads and now pizza. When I first described my idea of this recipe to a friend, she looked at me like I was crazy. I figured butternut squash makes a great side dish, so why not use it as a topping for one of my favorite meals- pizza. I think I have turned her into a squash-pizza fan, because I have already been requested to make it again. This recipe turned out so well, and the Grand Marnier really adds a nice depth of flavor. Serve this as an appetizer or side dish during Thanksgiving. It will be an instant hit. [Read more...]

The Grove Wine Bar and Kitchen
The Grove, a locally owned wine bar and kitchen, is located in the heart of Westlake. Their mission: to provide a casual, inviting atmosphere where families and friends may come together for a pleasant tasting meal and a wonderful glass of wine. They have succeeded at both and The Grove continues to impress me every time I visit. The best thing about the restaurant- their ginormous oak tree out back with the intertwining Christmas lights that give a unique, romantic atmosphere.
The menu does not list gluten-free items but they do offer a gluten-free rice pasta as well as gluten-free pizza crusts (Gluten-Free Kneads). Normally when I visit The Grove, I am in a pizza mood. Their pizzas are great and hit the spot every time. My favorite is the Top Shelf pizza- a blend of marinara, garlic, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes and basil. [Read more...]
Promise Pizza in Round Rock, Texas
Promise Pizza, one of the first (if not the first) eco-friendly pizza shops in the Austin area, and a cute one at that. I visited this recently opened pizza establishment last week and loved every moment of the experience. As you pull up to the Round Rock location, you see a line of their pizza delivery vehicles, which just so happen to be Smart Cars (Genius!) I love this idea as they are actually taking steps to help our environment. The inside décor is bright orange and green, a happy and bright atmosphere.
When talking to the manager about how they prepare their gluten-free pizzas, he went into great detail on how they handle with care and avoid most all means of cross-contamination. They use gloves and protect the surfaces when preparing a GF pizza. Promise Pizza also uses as many local ingredients as possible which is always a thumbs up in my book. Gluten Free Kneads [Read more...]

Mitigation of Metal Mining Influenced Water is the "how to fix it" volume in a series of six handbooks on technologies for managing metal mine and metallurgical process influenced water.
Unlike other texts that focus exclusively on acid drainage from coal mines, this comprehensive series examines both acidic and neutral pH waters from metal mining and metallurgical processes that may impact the environment. The authors take a holistic approach by considering all aspects of the mine life cycle, from planning and design to closure.
In this book you'll learn how mining influenced water concerns can be prevented or reduced by disrupting the geochemical relationship that contributes to the release of metals and/or acidity. Industry experts provide insights into understanding a mine's physical environment and how it can influence waste and drainage quality. They outline key issues designers must address, including involving stakeholders who may be affected long after the mine closes.
Case histories offer valuable planning and design considerations by illustrating what works and what doesn't. You'll also benefit from a thorough examination of mitigating technologies in a host of mining and processing situations, as well as the latest arsenal of waste treatment options.
Mitigation of Metal Mining Influenced Water is a must-read for planners, regulators, consultants, land mangers, students, researchers, and others concerned about the environmentally sound management of metal mine and metallurgical processing wastes and drainage quality.

The $14-million, 4.3-mile project is included in Maine Department of Transportation work plans and has been approved by state lawmakers, MDOT project director Paul McDonald said Tuesday. Related Posts Town Hill Intersection work set for Spring Parking garage proposal approved Parking garage study moving towards next phase Pending successful environmental and historical review permitting, full design plans are expected by the fall of 2014, with construction going out to bid in early 2015, Mr. McDonald said. Plans call for 4- to 5-foot paved shoulders along the length of the road. An 8-foot-wide, multi-use path is planned for the north side of Route 3 from Sonogee nursing home to downtown. The design for the rebuilt road, including the wide shoulders and multi-use path, was conceived by residents working as part of a MDOT context sensitive solutions (CSS) process over the past several years. Bar Harbor was one of the first towns in the state to move through such a process, which was designed to reverse the MDOT's typical top-down approach. The rebuild of Route 3 will cover more than 4 miles of road, from a half-mile west of Sand Point Road to the intersection with Route 233 (the Eagle Lake Road) downtown. The portion of Route 3 from the head of the island to Sand Point Road was rebuilt over a decade ago. Find in-depth coverage of local news in the Mount Desert Islander.

Solution may cause more problems
While I applaud the inspector general for attempting to find a root cause of the hacking of the S.C. Department of Revenue, his solutions are classic reactions that won't fix the problem and may even make the state more vulnerable.
The event that caused the security breach was a single opening of a malicious (aka phishing) email by a state employee. The inspector general is critical of decentralized security and the recommended solution is the creation of centralized security and a new chief security officer.
However, security is always decentralized. It is the responsibility of every state employee with a computer. The more effective solution is frequent employee training, periodic assessments, and the need for every state employee to assume responsibility for security. It really is everybody's job.
The inspector general's solution will likely create an atmosphere of "security is their job" and not mine. Such a prevailing attitude will create convenient escape goats and invite another incident.

It's being run in partnership with the Nova Scotia Fisheries Sector Council, the Fisheries Safety Association of Nova Scotia and the Workers' Compensation Board.
Heather MacLeod, a spokeswoman for the initiative, says the focus is on getting into fishing communities and talking face-to-face with fishermen and their families.
MacLeod says there's an urgent need for change in Nova Scotia's safety culture, adding that there have already been eight fishing industry deaths in Nova Scotia this year.

The Ravens will have an interesting choice if both Ha Ha Clinton-Dix of Alabama and Calvin Pryor of Louisville are available with the 17th pick. There is disagreement among scouts as to which free safety prospect is better.
NFL Network analyst Charles Davis prefers Clinton-Dix.
"I want the guy with range, the center field guy, the Willie Mays guy," Davis said during a conference call. "Not to say that Clinton-Dix doesn't tackle, he does. Not to say he can't cover man; hasn't had to do much of that for Alabama. But I like his range, I like his sideline to sideline play. Can Calvin Pryor do those things? Yeah, but Calvin Pryor to me fits a little bit more closer to the line of scrimmage.
[RELATED: How will Kubiak change Baltimore's offense?]
"That's why I have Clinton-Dix rated a little bit ahead of Pryor."
During the same conference call, Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network said he preferred Pryor
"I have them rated very close to one another on my ranking," Jeremiah said. "I have Calvin Pryor as my 15th overall player and Clinton-Dix as my 16th. Clinton-Dix may be a little more range over the top, but I just love Pryor. I love the physical way he plays the game, and I thought he was plenty capable of making plays at the high safety as well."
Clinton-Dix could certainly be gone by the 17th pick, and there is a chance Pryor could be gone, too. But if both are on the board, the Ravens' choice may come down to which safety they like better.

They were cold, ruthless and bloodthirsty. Often, we romanticize so many things like that. We condition our mind to make something beautiful, while it may not well be.
Everyone every now and then, psychologically, feels okay, with a lover burning you emotionally or the thought of just upping and leaving behind everything in life may be alluring. Often, we just, build things in our head and romanticize situations, that logic may dictate, is the worst decision to make.
I've often seen that with me. I do things, say things and feel things, that are better off kept in my head than be as bad-ass as I am. A lot of times, romanticizing situations has left me heartbroken and made me wonder- "what was I thinking!"
If any of you, out there, know deep down, you'll are building something up, to be way more gallant and killer than it really is, rescue yourself, or else the pirate within, will eat you up, alive.

Gear Review
Too narrow
I ordered a pair of these and the construction and look is top notch. Giro did a great a job on these shoes. Unfortunately I had to send them back because of the really narrow width. I normally use Northwave but these Giro shoes are too narrow for my foot (both the toe box and around the ball of my foot). I'd say they fit real close to Mavic's in width.
Giro, you need to make a wide model if you are going to make narrow shoes!!!

nfl network must like that we're year in and year out mediocre...

for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
I guess the NFL network really hates the dolphins and want them to be mediocre for a long time to come......*facepalm*
I think we're around an 8 win team with Moore, which isn't terrible but I want to win 10-13 games year in and year out. We're not going to do that without a franchise QB here in Miami, so go all out for Manning,Flynn, or RGIII whoever this organization believes is the best fit here!

LOL. I came here to type what the 3 people above me did...
Most Dolphins realize this...The NFL network LOL.
I actually want to see what Pat Devlin can do.
I was going to type "I guess they want us to remain irrelevant"
but most of you thought exact same thing.
We got a lot of hatrs.
Say what ya want, but Matt Moore makes me comfortable to go after Manning. I dont care about the stats or his record, none of that. I seen him play and with him we looked pretty strong on offense. He is still young and could still get better. If he could just stop fumbling snaps would make him much better. Partial of that probelm could be due to a rookie center. Most are scared to watch Moore get a second chance due to his Carolina days. What I heard is that his first game that year he got a concussion and was put back in too early and it was all bad from there. Not saying we shouldnt do everything possible to improve but I have a hard time throwing Matt Moore out of the picture. He made some plays that showed he gots a lil bit of the "it" factor. Lets see how he is developed from a coach who is more about the passing game. His last two coaches were Tony Sparano and John Fox.

There are more than 1.5 million Hispanics living in Illinois. One local advocate is working with Gov. Blagojevich to address the needs of immigrants when they move into our state.
The president of La Voz Latina, Marco Lenis, is part of the Latino caucus that met outside Chicago Thursday. Many members of the caucus are on new task forces formed by the governor to deal with education, employment, public policy, and health care.
Lenis says the goal of these councils is to make the transition of Hispanic immigrants into Illinois seamless. He says it can be difficult for people to adjust to life here when they have spent their whole lives in another country.

This is the worst possible scenario...we are getting pounded by the Giants run and we are close to having to abandon the run on offense due to the score.
Sighs.... It's gonna be a long day...
I suppose, at least we're moving the ball.
What I don't understand is we are statistically the best run defense in the league. The Steelers managed to slow down the Giants run game, how come we can't? We need the run D to come up big but they disappear? When you earn the reputation you have to live up to it and we have big time performers on D that usually do that. Why turn in their chips now?

For today's chart we've identified an intriguing candlestick pattern known as an evening star. This pattern is often used by traders to predict a change in the direction of the trend. As shown from the zoomed-in section on the chart, the pattern is created by finding a series of three candlesticks with the following characteristics:
1. The first bar is a large green bar (up day) located in an uptrend.
2. The middle bar is a small-bodied candle (up or down) that closes above the previous bar
3. The last Bar is a large red bar (down day) that opens below the middle candle and closes near the center of the first bar.
As you can see from the chart below, this pattern has formed as the stock is about to test the resistance of a descending trendline. The combination of these two technical signals suggests that we may see a move lower.

Cubs Girl
Ok lets take this one issue at a time
1. employers are obligated to get full release from employees when conducting background checks. They are usually 3-5 pages that you would fill out for a background check.
2. They cannot terminate you based on the back ground check only if the outcomes is in combination of what you do.
ex: if you have embezzlement charges and you work in a bank or deal with money. Retail theft and you work in retail.

sounds like you work for macys..hahaha... Thats what happened to my son, but after 4 months of employment...then they fired him and refused to pay unemployment, stating he abandoned his job...assholes.
Was this answer helpful to you?
There is nothing illegal about doing a background check after they hire you, but I think they have to have your signed permission. If they didn't, then you may have a case.
If they let you go because of something in your background, it can't be something discriminatory. For example, they could let you go if you committed a felony, but not if they found out that you have a disability.
Employers in many states can fire you "at will" for any reason they choose. But if they fire you for something they found in your background, you'll probably be eligible for unemployment.

Typically they make you sign an application that states you will be truthful on your application. If they find out anything that proves you lied on the app, they can fire you anytime, even 10 years later.
Was this answer helpful to you?
yes. they can fire you at anytime for any reason. sounds like your in an ''at will' state. i am sure a person was told in one way or another a background check was going to be made. i worked somewhere that did that to someone. it was retail and the person did time for theft, so...
check the local and state laws where you are to make sure.

If you lied on your application and they find evidence of it. Then they can fire you. Even years later,
Was this answer helpful to you?
It's legal. A background check takes a while.
They need some to do a job so they hire a person who "says" on their application all the "right/good/honest" things.
A Background check then comes back with a negative report and
ZAP! Person is fired. All legal.
Even if the person says they did not know they had a problem, does not matter. It's their problem, not the hiring company.

How to Deal With Image Theft Effectively
Each time you snap a picture, it is your intellectual property. The problem is that not everyone respects this, whether out of sheer ignorance or willful malice. Image theft is a relentless problem that's very frustrating because it's prevalent in spite of the fact that laws exist to protect you from being cheated out of compensation and recognition for your work.
Image theft is a real big problem these days, and you can thank one, gigantic culprit for that: the Internet. Thanks to the world wide web, it's easier now than it's ever been to get a hold of photographs and download them without a second thought. Many people do this, whether out of malice, insensitivity or just plan ignorance.

Eusebius of Emesa (4th century) and his Commentary on Genesis "Between Greek and Syriac; between Judaism and Christianity"
Fri, October 12, 2012 • 5:00 PM • Texas Union, Governor's Room (3.116)
A lecture by Lucas van Romapy, Duke University
Eusebius was born ca. 300 C.E. in the Syriac city of Edessa where, according to his biographers, he received his first training in biblical interpreta- tion. He later studied with the other Eusebius in Caesarea and settled in Antioch, in the wake of the Council of Nicaea, before becoming bishop, around 340, of the Syrian city of Emesa (present-day Homs). His Commentary on Genesis, written in Greek but preserved in its entirety only in an Armenian translation, reflects much of his personal life story. Eusebius brings his knowledge of Syriac to the interpretation of the Greek Septuagint text, often in an attempt to uncover nuances in the Hebrew original.The Commentary also reflects Syriac and Antiochene Christianity's proximity to Judaism. Basing ourselves on a select number of passages, we will explore what the new Commentary has to tell about Judaism and how it relates to early Syriac exegesis (in particular Ephrem) on the one hand and Greek Antiochene exegesis on the other.

Personal datives
"She wanted her some liver pudding."
(Wolfram and Christian 1976)
Certain varieties of English permit the appearance of a pronoun co-referential with the subject in a position immediately following an (active) transitive or ditransitive verb. Despite being coreferential with the subject, and occurring in the same clause, this pronoun does not exhibit reflexive morphology, as shown in the following examples from Appalachian English:
(1) a. I take me a pound or two of butter... (Appalachian English; Christian 1991)
b. ...they built 'em a house.
c. We had us a cabin...
The possibility of having a pronoun in the same clause as the element with which it is co-referential is not available to standard English, which uses a reflexive form in such contexts:
(2) a. I got myself a pound of butter. (standard English)
b. They built a house for themselves/They built themselves a house.
Note that a counterpart of the personal dative is not always available in standard English, neither with a reflexive alone nor with a reflexive preceded by for, as pointed out in Christian (1991):
(3) a. I'm gonna write me a letter to my cousin. (Appalachian English; Christian 1991)
b. *I'm gonna write myself a letter to my cousin./*I'm gonna write a letter for my cousin for myself. (standard English)
Moreover, even when a standard English counterpart seems to be available (as in 2a and 2b), the literature is unanimous in saying that it is not exactly equivalent to a sentence containing a personal dative: sentences with personal datives add an additional layer of (non-truth conditional) meaning, which appears difficult to describe precisely, but has to do with the level of involvement of the subject in the event.
Webelhuth and Dannenberg (2006) point out that, in a personal dative construction, the object of the verb that corresponds to the theme has to be indefinite, quantificational, or generic:
(4) a. Mary would love her some flowers. (Southern American English; Webelhuth and Dannenberg 2006)
b. Mary would love her a few flowers.
c. Mary would love her flowers.
Horn (2008) brings up some counter-examples to this restriction, based on Google searches that yield examples like those in (5):
(5) a. I want me the cash. (Horn 2008)
b. Yar, I love me chocolate syrup!
c. I need me this coffee mug/keyboard/book/sign/here/album.
It is not possible to say whether such examples are produced by speakers from Southern American English, or by speakers of other varieties of English, for whom the grammar of this construction might be different.
(Art by Michel)
Who says this?
Wolfram and Christian (1976), Christian (1991), Webelhuth and Dannenberg (2006), Conroy (2007) and Armstrong and Hutchinson (2008) describe the personal dative as associated with Southern American English and draw their examples from Appalachian English in particular. Horn (2008) discusses the presence of personal datives in pop culture (like Toni Braxton's song "I love me some him") and certain attestations in speakers that are not from the South.
Syntactic properties
- Personal datives are pronouns that occur in the same clause as the subject with which they co-refer.
- They can never be separated from the verb.
- They cannot be stressed or coordinated.
- They are not an argument of the verb.

New Mexico Game Notes
Air Force Game Notes
Mountain West Conference Notes
Lobo Men's Basketball - In The Pit
Saturday: 4 p.m., Air Force at Lobos
On The Air: The Mtn. (TV); 770-AM KKOB - Lobo Radio Network
GoLobos.com: GameTracker, Game Story, Stats, LoboTV
By Richard Stevens - Senior Writer / Go Lobos.com
The simplistic measurement of Dairese Gary as a Lobo is easy to calculate. You look at titles. You count the wins. You note the production.
You remember the fear in the eyes of the hard-court enemies, who had to go face-to-face with one of the nastier and more determined Lobo defenders ever. There is a reason Lobo coach Steve Alford calls his point guard a "bulldog."
But you would be shortchanging this special Lobo if you limited that rating to mere numbers, championships rings or notches in the win column.
There have been other statistically-grand Lobos, who reached such dazzling heights of success, but never really reached the heights obtained by Gary; never worked their way so deeply into the welcoming heart of the Lobo-loving Pit.
There are ways to measure athletes that go beyond stats and filter deeper into that stuff a man is made of -- or should be made of. You find that stuff in Dairese Gary. You hope for that stuff in all Lobos.
With Gary, you see resolve and character. You see sacrifice and unselfishness. You see a Lobo who often carried more of a burden than he probably deserved to carry, but always acted like it was an honor and a privilege to be so called upon.
Gary is the type of competitor who stands beside a teammate with a fox-hole mentality. He has your back, but would be the first to charge the enemy.
The Pit will honor and say goodbye to Gary Saturday in a farewell to New Mexico's only senior. The obvious loss is leadership, gut-check baskets in the closing minutes, and clutch free throws as game clocks wind down.
But you can't help but sense The Pit knows that it is losing so much more. Gary is an enigma of sorts. He is a Pit darling despite his quiet and unassuming ways on the court. He doesn't give you that warm and fuzzy feeling like you might have had for a Roman Martinez, a Willie Banks, a Greg Brown or a Luc Longley.
The Pit relates to Gary because of a warrior mentality embraced by quiet humility. With Gary, you see a steel will, that burning need to win and give 100 percent. You see honest effort never cheapened by court theatrics or self absorbed posturing.
He is consistent. He knows how to finish a shot and finish a game on both ends of the court.
"Every game we ask him to do all the things he does for us on offense and then we ask him to guard the best guard on the other team," said Alford. "Dairese never complains. He has no gripes. He just goes out and does it. He has the heart of a lion and plays at such a high level with a tremendous desire to win."
Of course, Gary has the numbers. He has played in 132 games as a Lobo and has started 127 - the longest active starting streak in NCAA ball. He has averaged 27.4 minutes as a Lobo and 34.1 minutes this season.
"You can't drag Dairese off the court," said Alford. "He looks beat up. He is beat up. But he just plays."
Gary takes a 14.4 scoring average at Air Force and his highest assist rate as a Lobo - 5.4 per game. That also is a mark of Gary as a Lobo. He has worked hard to get better. He is shooting 79 percent from the free-throw line and 75 percent for his career.
He has taken the Lobos to two Mountain West regular-season titles and into NCAA play. He was All-MWC First Team in 2010 and should be a lock to repeat in 2011.
"What he has done here is absolutely amazing," said Alford. "He has done things that many players only dream about."
Gary came to UNM out of Concord High in Elkhart, Ind. He was a three-star recruit and rated the No. 28 point guard in the nation by one scouting service. He committed to Alford at Iowa, but made the jump to UNM. He had the strength and the toughness to play college football, but his passion was basketball.
The self-confessed "Momma's boy," said he had some initial doubts about following Alford to the Land of Enchantment.
"I was terrified. I thought I might need a passport and all that silly stuff you hear about," said Gary. "But it's an amazing place to be a basketball player and I can't explain how much New Mexico means to me and how much I'm going to miss it.
"My time here has seemed to fly by. It goes fast. It's an amazing feeling to have the respect of so many people and it's important that they understand I return that respect. New Mexico fans are crazy about the Lobos and I want to thank them for that."
The Pit will return that thanks on Saturday. They will honor a special Lobos and it will be a joyous occasion and a sad occasion. Gary has given us so many memories to cherish in the way he produced victories and in the way he carried himself on the court, win or lose.
Gary and the Lobos are coming off one of their best wins ever with an 82-64 spanking of No. 3 Brigham Young - on Cougars' turf. You measure Gary by wins because that's the nature of athletics and scoreboards.
But just as Gary has been consistent in his resolve and in his drive and desire at both ends of the court, he also has set a pattern and a level of achievement simply through his pure effort.
And all Lobo fans who have watched Gary play know this to be a truth: He has never walked off the court a loser.

The "How the Saints Save Christmas" DLC pack sees Santa Claus trapped inside the Matrix-like simulation that is at the heart of Saints Row 4's campaign, and only the Saints can save him. But there's just one problem: the boss isn't fond of Christmas, despite the visible exuberance for the holiday demonstrated in the art above.
The DLC will be available as part of the Season Pass or as a separate download for $6.99 on December 11. Check out the gallery below for more festive shots of the Saints and a snow-covered Steelport.
Saints Row 4 - How the Saints Save Christmas
The Saints have travelled to the North Pole and back and have come marching in with a wealth of presents to bring plenty of holiday cheer.
1. Naughty or Nice? - Announcing the Volition Nice List
Some of Saints Row IV's developers have been very naughty this year. For the full story behind each developer's terrible deeds, check out the official website http://www.savechristmas.saintsrow.com/index.html, and get some inspiration on how the devs should redeem themselves!
What should they do to get back on Santa's Nice List? Participants can submit ideas that will help the devs win back Santa's favor. The developers will be filmed as they reenact these ideas the way only Volition can!
The submission deadline is November 29, 2013.
2. The Saints Row Sing-A-Long Christmas Carol Contest
Participants in the Sing-A-Long contest can submit a video of themselves (and their friends!) singing special Saints Row lyrics to Saints Row Jingle Bells. The best entries will be immortalized in a one-of-a-kind Saints Row video message, and all winners will receive a special seasonal gift from Deep Silver and Volition!
Chances of being canonized as a living Saint can be improved if the participants dress up as a Saints Row character for their video. The submission deadline is December 5, 2013. Instructions on how to submit a video are available at the official website http://www.savechristmas.saintsrow.com.
3. "How the Saints Save Christmas" DLC
Rejoice, December 11 is a day unlike any other, because it is the day Deep Silver and Volition will release the festive "How the Saints Save Christmas" DLC.
Santa is trapped inside the simulation, but the Scrooge-like boss of the Third Street Saints can't muster enough festive spirit to save him. Can the Saints help the boss discover the true meaning of the season in time? A holiday classic for the whole family.
Owners of the Saints Row IV Season Pass can download this DLC for free. It is also available separately for $6.99.
