Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
8:5-7 The Jewish church came up from the wilderness, supported by Divine power and favour. The Christian church was raised from a low, desolate condition, by the grace of Christ relied on. Believers, by the power of grace, are brought up from the wilderness. A sinful state is a wilderness in which there is no true comfort; it is a wandering, wanting state: There is no coming out of this wilderness, but leaning on Christ as our Beloved, by faith; not leaning to our own understanding, nor trusting in any righteousness of our own; but in the strength of him, who is the Lord our Righteousness. The words of the church to Christ which follow, entreat an abiding place in his love, and protection by his power. Set me as a seal upon thine heart; let me always have a place in thine heart; let me have an impression of love upon thine heart. Of this the soul would be assured, and without a sense thereof no rest is to be found. Those who truly love Christ, are jealous of every thing that would draw them from him; especially of themselves, lest they should do any thing to provoke him to withdraw from them. If we love Christ, the fear of coming short of his love, or the temptations to forsake him, will be most painful to us. No waters can quench Christ's love to us, nor any floods drown it. Let nothing abate our love to him. Nor will life, and all its comforts, entice a believer from loving Christ. Love of Christ, will enable us to repel and triumph over temptations from the smiles of the world, as well as from its frowns.
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 6, 7. - Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the flashes thereof are flashes of fire, a very flame of the Lord. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, he would be utterly contemned. Is this to be regarded as the reply of the bride to the tender allusion of her husband to their first love; or is it, as some think, only the first words which belong to the bride, while the rest of the two verses are a kind of chorus echoing her loving appeal, and bringing the general action of the poem to a conclusion? It is difficult to decide this, and the meaning is not affected either way. Perhaps, however, it is best to take it as spoken by the bride, who continues her address to the end of the eighth verse. She is full of joy in the return of perfect confidence; she prays that the full tide of affection may never cease to flow, that there be no ebbing of that happy feeling in which she now delights; and then sings the praise of love itself, as though a prelude of praise to a long and eternal peace. The seal is the signet ring, chotham, from a root "to impress" It was sometimes carried by a string on the breast, and would, therefore, be near the heart (see Genesis 38:18). It was sometimes worn on the hand (see Jeremiah 22:24; and cf. Genesis 41:42; Esther 3:12). It was not worn on the arm like a bracelet (2 Samuel 1:10). Probably it was not the signet ring which is referred to in the second clause: "Set me as a seal on thine heart, and as a bracelet on thine arm." The same simile is not infrequent in the prophets. The desire of Shulamith was to escape all possibility of those declensions of which she had spoken before. "Let me never be out of thy thoughts; let me never go back from my fulness of joy in thy love." The true believer understands well such language. He knows that the maintenance of devout affection is not a matter of mere desire and will. The Lord himself must help us with his blessed gifts, the influence of his gracious Spirit to overcome the feebleness and fickleness of a fallen heart. We want to be close to the heart of the Saviour; we want to be constantly in his eye, and so diligently employed in his service, so closely associated with the work of his mighty arm, that we shall be ever receiving from him the signs and evidences of his approval and affection. The purity and perfection of true love are the theme of every sincere believer. The priceless value of such love is described in the Book of Proverbs (Proverbs 6:30), in Numbers 22:18, and 1 Corinthians 13:3. It is an unquenchable flame - nothing can resist it. We cannot but recall the rapturous language of one who himself was an example of the highest devotedness to the Saviour, who rejoiced over death and the grave in the consciousness of victory through him from whose love nothing can separate us (Romans 8:38; 1 Corinthians 15:54). Certainly the history of the sufferings and trials of the true Church form a most striking commentary upon these words. Floods of persecution have swept over it, but they have not quenched love. The flame has burst forth again and again when it seemed to be extinguished, and it has become a very "flame of the Lord." The bush has been burning, but has not been consumed. By jealousy is intended love in its intensity not bearing arival. The "flame of the Lord" may be compared with "the voice of the Lord," which is described in Hebrew poetry as connected with the fury of the storm. The flame, therefore, would be lightning and the voice thunder. The whole of this passage, which forms a kind of keynote of the poem, is more like a distinct strain introduced to give climax to the succession of songs than the natural expression of the bride's feelings. It has been always regarded as one of the sublimest apostrophes to love to be found anywhere. The enemies of God and of humanity are represented as falling before it, death and the grave. Its vehemence and force of manifestation are brought vividly before us by the comparison of the flash of lightning. It is remarkable that this exaltation of love should be included in the Old Testament, thus proving that the Mosaic Law, with its formal prescriptions, by no means fulfils the whole purpose of God in his revelation to the world. As the New Testament would not have been complete without the message of the beloved disciple, so this Old Testament must have its song of love. Nor is it only the ideal and the heavenly love which is celebrated, but human affection itself is placed very high, because it is associated with that which is Divine. It is a more precious thing than mere wealth or worldly honour, and he that trifles with it deserves the utmost scorn and contempt of his fellows. It is well to remark how consistently the poetic framework is maintained. There is no attempt to leave the lines of human relations even at this point, whets evidently the sentiment rises above them. The love which is apostrophized is not removed from earth in order to be seen apart from all earthly imperfections and impurities. We are invited rather to look through the human to the Divine which embraces it and glorifies it. That. is the method of the Divine revelation throughout. "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." We do not need to take Solomon's Song as an allegory. It is a song of human love, but as such it is a symbol of that which is Divine.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm,.... These are still the words of the church, speaking to Christ as she walked along with him, as the affixes in the Hebrew text show; in which she desires to have a fixed abiding place in his heart; to continue firmly in his love, and to have further manifestations of it; to be always remembered and supported by him; to be ever on his mind, and constantly under his care and protection; and to have a full assurance of interest in his love, and in his power, which is the sealing work of his Spirit, Ephesians 1:13. The allusion seems to be to the high: priest, a type of Christ, who had the names of the children of Israel engraved on precious stones, and bore by him on his shoulders, and on his heart, for a memorial before the Lord continually; or to the names of persons, engraved on jewels, wore by lovers on their arms or breasts, or to their pictures put there; not to signets or seals wore on those parts, but to the names and images of persons impressed on them: the Ethiopians (p) understand it of something bound upon the arm, by which persons might be known, as was used in their country. The church's desire is, that she might be affectionately loved by Christ, be deeply fixed in his heart, be ever in his view, owned and acknowledged by him, and protected by the arm of his power. Her reasons follow:
for love is strong as death; that is, the love or the church to Christ, which caused her to make the above requests: death conquers all; against it there is no standing; such was the love of the church, it surmounted all difficulties that lay in the way of enjoying Christ; nothing could separate from it; she was conquered by it herself (q); and could not live without him; a frown, an angry look from him, was as death unto her; yea, she could readily part with life and suffer death for his sake; death itself could not part her from him, or separate him from her love (r); so that her love was stronger than death;
jealousy is cruel as the grave: the jealousy she had of Christ's love to her which was her weakness; and yet it was very torturing and afflicting, though at the same time it showed the greatness of her love to Christ: or "envy", that is of wicked men, she was the object of, which exceeds cruel wrath and outrageous anger, Proverbs 27:4; or rather her "zeal" (s), which is no other than ardent love for Christ his Gospel, cause, and interest; which ate up and consumed her spirits, as the grave does what is cast into it. Psalm 119:139. Virgil (t) gives the epithet of "cruel" to love;
the coals thereof are coals of fire; which expresses the fervency of her love to Christ, and zeal for the honour of his name: which, though sometimes cold and languid, is rekindled, and becomes hot and flaming; and is, like fire, insatiable, one of the four things that say, "It is not enough", Proverbs 30:16;
which hath a most vehement flame; nothing is, nor, common with other writers (u), than to attribute flame to love, and to call it a fire; here a most vehement flame. Or, "the flame of Jah" or "Jehovah" (w); an exceeding great one: the Hebrews use one or other of the names of God, as a superlative; so the mountains of God, and cedars of God, mean exceeding great ones; and here it expresses the church's love in the highest degree, in such a flame as not to be quenched, as follows: or it signifies, that the flame of love in her breast was kindled by the Lord himself (x), by his Spirit, compared to fire; or by his love, shed abroad in her heart by him, Hence it appears to be false, what is sometimes said, that the name of God is not used in this Song; since the greatest of all his names, Jab or Jehovah, is here expressed.
(p) Apud Ludolph. Lexic. Ethiopic. p. 341. (q) "Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori", Virgil. (r) "Nostros non rumpit funus amorea", Lucan. Pharsal. l. 5. v. 761, 762. (s) "zelus", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Cocceius, Marckius. (t) "Crudelis amor", Bucolic. Eclog. 10. v. 29. (u) Vid. Barthii Animadv. ad Claudian. de Nutpt. Honor. v. 16. & Laude Stilico, v. 74. So love is said to kindle a more vehement flame than at Vulcan's forge, Theocrit. Idyll. 2. prope finem. (w) "flamma Domini", Montauus, Mercerus; "Dei", Tigurine version, Cocceius; "Jah", Vatablus, to Marckius. (x) So the Tigurine version, Castalio.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
6. Implying approaching absence of the Bridegroom.
seal—having her name and likeness engraven on it. His Holy Priesthood also in heaven (Ex 28:6-12, 15-30; Heb 4:14); "his heart" there answering to "thine heart" here, and "two shoulders" to "arm." (Compare Jer 22:24, with Hag 2:23). But the Holy Ghost (Eph 1:13, 14). As in So 8:5, she was "leaning" on Him, that is, her arm on His arm, her head on His bosom; so she prays now that before they part, her impression may be engraven both on His heart and His arm, answering to His love and His power (Ps 77:15; see Ge 38:18; Isa 62:3).
love is strong as death—(Ac 21:13; Ro 8:35-39; Re 12:11). This their love unto death flows from His (Joh 10:15; 15:13).
jealousy … the grave—Zealous love, jealous of all that would come between the soul and Jesus Christ (1Ki 19:10; Ps 106:30, 31; Lu 9:60; 14:26; 1Co 16:22).
cruel—rather, "unyielding" hard, as the grave will not let go those whom it once holds (Joh 10:28).
a most vehement flame—literally, "the fire-flame of Jehovah" (Ps 80:16; Isa 6:6). Nowhere else is God's name found in the Song. The zeal that burnt in Jesus Christ (Ps 69:9; Lu 12:49, 50) kindled in His followers (Ac 2:3; Ro 15:30; Php 2:17).
Song of Solomon 8:6 Additional Commentaries
6"Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the LORD. 7"Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised."

Great day for a mow, right? Well, before you fire up the motor, consider some advice from Desperate Landscapes host Jason Cameron, who knows a thing or two about making grass greener. After all, he's spent several seasons reinvigorating some of the scariest yards this side of the Addams Family estate (see some of his handiwork here). To get your own lawn in shape, follow these basic steps:
1. Refine your tools.
That broken rake in the back of the garage? Get rid of it and find a sturdy one (like this Bluestone Garden model). Then clear out all the excess leaves and twigs from your yard before you start to cut. As for the mower? Cameron suggests you sharpen the blades so they don't tear at the grass. And, if you're in the market for a new one, consider some electric models—they're easier on the environment and get the job done just as well (there's one featured in the MH Father's Day Gift Guide).
2. Water in the morning.
You don't want to get those sprinklers going when the sun is at its highest, or the grass won't soak up as much water. Instead, think before 9am (yes, that means getting up a little early on Saturdays). And, during dry spells, you need to water at least once per day, recommends Cameron.
3. Even things out.
Whether you have a push mower or a riding one, make sure you traverse the landscape in a straight line all the way to the edge of your lawn and then cut back exactly perpendicular. Cameron also says the ideal height for grass should be around 2.5 and 3 inches, so you may need to give it a couple of passes.
4. Remember to feed.
Fertilizing is important, says Cameron, who advises using an even amount of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous to keep things looking lush. If there are places where the grass isn't growing so well, consider putting a swingset for the kids in that area with some rubber mulch, or investing in planter boxes to cover up any unsightly brown. Check in with your local nursery if you need help!

New QuickTime Player, Cocoa Desktop in latest Snow Leopard betaAs expected, Apple overnight equipped its vast developer community with a new build of its upcoming Snow Leopard operating system that includes significant changes, such as a redesigned QuickTime Player.
People familiar with the matter confirm the build number to indeed be 10A286, as was predicted by AppleInsider in a software-related news roundup published earlier in the week.
Among the changes developers will see in the latest beta is a completely redesigned QuickTime Player — believed to be QuickTime X Player — which sports "a new minimal user interface focused predominately on playback," those people say.
Also widely distributed outside Apple's walls for the first time is a new Cocoa-based Mac OS X desktop envoirnment featuring updated info windows and contextual menus.
Those people familiar with the software say Apple informed developers about a dozen significant issues which are still plaguing Mac OS X 10.6, and which will need to be ironed out before the software can transition closer to a final candidate stage. Several months of work are believed to remain.
Build 10A286 arrives about four weeks after Apple equipped its developers with build 10A261. Around that time it was reported that Snow Leopard would include Core Location and Multi-Touch frameworks for third-party developers, and also deliver more intuitive printer driver delivery.
Specific to the 10A261 build were a handful of visual tweaks, such as a Put Back option in the Finder and the ability to drill down into stacks via a new grid-view interface, each of which were documented in a series of screenshots.

Octavia Spencer, A Separation Take Home Early 2012 Oscars
A tearful Octavia Spencer became a first-time Oscar winner at the 84th Annual Academy Awards on February 26, 2012. The Help star received a standing ovation as she accepted the trophy for Best Supporting Actress.
"Thank you, Academy, for putting me with the hottest guy in the room," she said, referring to her Oscar, not Christian Bale, who had presented her with the award.
Spencer went on to thank her family, the state of Alabama, and Steven Spielberg "for changing my life."
Other early awards went to A Separation from Iran for Best Foreign Language Film, and Hugo for Best Cinematography and Art Direction. The Iron Lady won for Best Makeup.

Monk of the Month
Brother Dominic
Brother Dominic
Brother Dominic Wittry is a fixture of Marmion Abbey in a way that few other monks can match. A native of Aurora, Brother Dominic is a 1952 graduate of Marmion Military Academy. He is also the twin brother of Richard Wittry, another Marmion graduate. Brother Dominic's Aurora roots are in Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, where his mother taught in the grade school for many years.
Brother Dominic's connections to Marmion Academy remain strong. Over the years he has been a loyal and regular supporter of the athletic teams, appearing at football, basketball and baseball home games to rally the Cadets. He faithfully appears at visitations and funerals of deceased Marmion alumni and employees. Visitors to the Abbey will often find Brother Dominic as their first contact when searching for a monk or a lay employee of the Abbey. In the process they are typically given a kind word and friendly welcome as Brother Dominic goes about his daily work of keeping the house clean. On weekend afternoons they may find him in his monastic habit on a trademark walk around the Abbey or Academy grounds.
Many people will not see Brother Dominic as he spends his hours in personal prayer in the Abbey church or in the Abbey library as he earnestly spends time every evening in reading. While watching sports in the community recreation room, listening to Country and Western Music in his room, or engaged in discussion on the political issues of the day, Brother Dominic brings the same intense commitment that he brings to his monastic vocation. His faithful embrace of that vocation over the period of 65 years has been a blessing to all at Marmion.

Outdoor Performance Of Kung Fu Presented Near The Shaolin Temple.
Kung Fu is very much one of the important activities at the Shaolin Temple. Many of the participants met during previous visits, were away in other countries, giving demonstrations of their skills to large audiences, in many different cities. We did however have the opportunity of watching another group going through their routines, in preparation for a visit to America. Having seen many of these performances in films, some of the actions or stances seemed almost unreal. The way that the Kung Fu we watched being performed was almost unbelievable. The speed of action and the acrobatics almost impossible, yet the participants were certainly capable, a skill acquired though many hours of rehersal.
The Kung Fu photos shown on this page were taken by Zhong Guang, at an outdoor performace given near the Shaolin Temple. How it is possible for the person to be balanced on top of spear heads held by others, is beyond comprehension. It is evident from the openness of the performance, that there is no trickery involved, but like many such feats it is a case where the mind control is stronger than the body.
Young Performer Of Kung Fu Demonstrates His Skills At The Shaolin Temple.
The photos of the young man positioning one of his legs behind his head illustrates a feat that surely is capable of being performed only by those who learn the art when they are very young and their bodies are very supple. One of the older performers we had watched in rehearsal, had locked both his feet behind his head, and then balanced himself on his hands. It is a posiition that this young boy also demonstrated.
The particular stance shown in the photo on the right was the same one the boy demonstrated four years earlier in the Library of the Shaolin Temple, where much of my time was spent during previous visits.

1) The evidence currently points overwhelmingly at the rebels
As of yet there is no hard evidence that conclusively establishes a particular party's guilt. That level of proof will only be reached after experts have had a chance to examine the wreckage, if it is ever reached at all. With that being said, the pro-Russian rebels are certainly acting as if they have something to hide. The rebels are currently conducting an active purge of the social media sites on which they had earlier bragged of downing a Ukrainian transport plane and their spokespeople are furiously denying that they had the means to shoot down a plane at such a high altitude. It's not a particularly sophisticated campaign (simply deleting a tweet doesn't make it disappear if it's already been shared hundreds of time) and it has a certain desperation to it. So while it is technically still possible that the Ukrainian armed forces were responsible, after all they do have a spotty track record when it comes to civilian airliners, the odds that it was the rebels are huge and growing.
2) You should still be suspicious of the Ukrainian government, particularly its security services
Almost immediately after MH 17 went down, the Security Service of Ukraine (which is usually referred to by its Ukrainian abbreviation of SBU) released several YouTube clips of conversations between separatists in which they discuss the downing of a civilian airliner. These recordings quickly made the rounds on the internet and were approvingly shared by well-regarded journalists like Anne Applebaum. The simple fact, though, is that the SBU is a former part of the KGB and its claims should therefore be treated with extreme skepticism. Throughout the crisis the SBU has repeatedly made claims, for example it had captured "dozens" of Russian intelligence and military officers, that have proven to be untrue. Basically, given its history as an organization and its recent track record, you should extend to the SBU the same level of trust that you extent to the Russian FSB.
3) The investigation has gotten off to the worst start imaginable
While the Russians, the Ukrainians, and even the rebels initially promised to cooperate with a "full and fair" investigation, the reality has been a lot uglier. The rebels running security at the crash site have not only been highly unprofessional (e.g. reeking of alcohol) they've been actively hindering the investigation. One rebel even shot over the heads of an OSCE delegation after they momentarily wandered out of the area they were "supposed" to be in. There's so much international attention focused on the story that it's possible these problems will eventually be resolved, but some of the most important investigative work takes place in the immediate aftermath of an aviation disaster and that work is simply not taking place. One can hope for the best, but it's entirely possible that the initial delays in allowing trained specialists access to the site will permanently compromise the investigation.
4) The missile that was used was not a "sophisticated piece of technology" but an aging Soviet-era dinosaur
Lots of people, including some very senior officials in the Obama administration like Samantha Power, have repeatedly emphasized the "sophistication" of the SA-11 missile system, commonly referred to as the "Buk." This is very strange. The SA-11 is hardly a cutting-edge piece of technology, as it was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1970′s. You read that correctly, the Buk was designed and first built while Leonid Brezhnev was premier of the Soviet Union. The average smart phone has more processing power than an SA-11 battery, and even the Ukrainian army has more advanced anti-aircraft weapons in its arsenal. The fact that a missile is old doesn't make it any less deadly, but the simple fact is that the Buk is old and outdated. This technology has been around for a very long time and has been used by armies, like the Soviet Union's, with generally low level of troop training. It just does not take a world-class military to operate such a system.
5) This is turning into a PR catastrophe for the Russian government
If, as currently seems overwhelmingly likely, MH17 was brought down by rebels fighting against the Ukrainian government Russia is going to have a spotlight shined on some of its most unsavory behavior. Over the past several months Russia have been covertly and not-so-covertly supporting the rebels in Eastern Ukraine in their struggle against Kiev. Outside of Washington DC, Russia has so far managed to largely avoid any negative repercussions for this behavior. The downing of MH17 will change that. What had previously been of concern only to the, relatively small, number of think tankers and analysts studying the region will now become front page news across the entire planet. If it turns out that the pro-Russia rebels have the blood of hundreds of innocent civilians on their hands, Russia's position on Ukraine will become increasingly untenable. I've written before that Russia's "isolation" is largely a myth, but if Russia starts to become associated with "shooting civilian airliners out of the sky" that could change very quickly.

hired 18 times on Thumbtack
Mark Edwards, owner, has been a professional photographer since 1988. Embarking on his 26th year, Mark has been creating memorable photographs for weddings, families and special events throughout New England. After studying photography in Boston, he spent the next eight years with a highly respected Central Massachusetts studio. During that time, he learned not just the technical aspects of photography, but also how to be a true professional in every sense.
His philosophy on photographing weddings has always been simplicity and keep posing to a minimum.
Milford Road, #3
South Grafton, MA 01560
Well Done we had fun and it was quick.
Last weekend, I got married! Mark Edwards is the photographer who helped us capture our special day. Before the wedding, Mark came to our house to meet with us and talked us through the entire process. He kept in touch and was willing to incorporate any photography ideas I had. On the day of the wedding, Mark made everything stress free. He worked around my family and helped to keep me calm and laughing. I'm so happy we chose to have Mark take our pictures. I highly recommend Edwards Photography!
Mark was amazing! Came on time! Had great ideas! Deff hire him!
We planned our small and intimate wedding in MA in three weeks and needed a photographer. We decided to Google photographers within a 50 mile radius and landed on the thumbtack website. After entering all the requested info, we received an email from Edwards Photography stating that they are available to take on our last minute project and with our terms. We went on their website and read their reviewes and decided to give them a shot. We are very please with Marks' professionalism and his work. He was punctual and did everything we asked of him. Mark also mailed our pictures to Atlanta to us shortly after our return. We are recommending Edward Photography to anyone needing a photographer in the MA area.
I had Mark photograph 2 of my daughters weddings. I could not be happier with the albums we received. Mark takes photos without being intrusive on the festivities, all while capturing every special moment. Mark guides the wedding party through the "formals" quickly and professionally. We were presented with hundreds of photos to choose from. Mark is very talented in producing many artistic effects done on certain photos and gives you multiple options to choose from. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer.
I decided to go with Mark Edwards during our first meeting. I wanted a traditional album that focused on the people in my wedding. Mark made me feel confident that he understood exactly what I was looking for and was also very reasonably priced compared to others I had met with.
On the day of the wedding, he was able to capture every great moment without me even noticing he was there. When it was time to pull the wedding party aside for pictures, he knew exactly how to guide us quickly so that we were able to get back to our special day and enjoy the reception! This is what I loved best about working with him because I have been to other weddings where the bride and groom miss a lot of the reception because they are away taking pictures for too long. I wanted the pictures to remind me of how wonderful the day was....not just a photo shoot.
I absolutely LOVE my pictures and my album. It was exactly what I was hoping for. I was so happy with Mark that I actually recommended him for my sister's wedding and she hired him as well! He is very talented and a great person to work with.
Mark photographed our wedding back in 2007 and was fantastic. He worked within our budget and provided exactly what we wanted. He listened to what we wanted and photographed in the style we prefer, making great suggestions and recommendations based on his expertise. We asked him to take family portraits in 2012. He came to our house and spent several hours here, making sure we got all the shots, poses and locations we wanted. The photos are beautiful. He is patient and professional, and is great to work with. I highly recommend him to all of my frienda and family.
Mark was excellent and very accomodating and the pictures came out beautiful.
Mark is an excellent photographer. We were very pleased with our pictures and highly recommend him. He was extremely easy to work with and professional at all times.
Mark made taken pictures at our wedding enjoyable. Friendly with all members of the wedding party. We still get people asking who took our pictures they love the quality.
Mark is a great photographer! Our wedding pictures came out beautiful. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for a great photographer!
Exceptional Photographer, Amazing Results! I was/am very grateful for his time to come shoot fitness portraits at a gym! That same night after shooting, the pictures were posted on Facebook. It was so great to be able to share the pictures right away with all of my family and friends! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARK!
He is a great photographer. He did our wedding photos, he was very professional and all of our pictures came out great. We received our pictures and special orders in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him.
Mark photographed my daughter's wedding. He is detail oriented, friendly, and an excellent photographer. I highly recommend him.
Whoa! My wedding date was October 26, and no photographer! Thank God for Thumbtack, which I found by accident. I got a call from Mark on October 25, he came to my home that afternoon, completed the contract, and was at my house the next day ready to take pictures! The Experience was awesome! Mark was friendly and experienced! Thanks Mark!
A. Start by building a list of several wedding photographers. Asking friends and relatives for recommendations is a great way to begin. People whoÂve had positive experiences with photographers are always happy to share their photographers names with you, and when you meet with the photographer, youÂll both have an immediate frame of reference from which to proceed.
A. How will you show me pictures for selection (e.g., electronic, proofs, contact sheets, online gallery, etc.)? Will you help me choose the final pictures? How will you make it easy for friends and family to order reprints? What are the costs of the various levels of coverage? Are there different degrees of coverage? What is your photography style; photojournalistic, traditional, mixed, etc.,? How much for the duplicate prints, albums, folios, enlargements, thank you cards, etc.,? WhatÂs your time frame for preparing the pictures for my selection? How about engagement session? How long do I have to make up my mind as to which pictures I want and how many? How long have you been in business? What kind of guarantee comes with my hiring you? WhatÂs your philosophy to photographing weddings? Will you have an assistant? Do you have travel fees? How much is your overtime fee? What do you plan to do at my wedding to make my wedding photographs unique and personal to me? Do you have a backup? Will you be shooting my pictures personally? Will you use film or digital?

As soon as Windows 10 RTM becoming available after reservation, I hit upgrade and examed the real Windows 10 RTM to update my Windows 10 projects. Most icons stayed the same as previous release except Control Panel icon. It has new customizable logon screen which is great asset for Yosemite project but I failed to extract the exact background so I'll use wallpaper instead. There's also Windows 10 branding and new wallpapers with some bugs fixed and updates here and there.
Windows 10 Transformation/UX Pack 5.0 Released – Finishing touch of Windows 10 experience
Yosemite Transformation/UX Pack 4.0 Released – Now support Windows 10!
Please apply Blank navigation pane fixer patch before installing this version.
Happy Valentine everyone. It was also my grandmom's birthday so I had long talk with cousin until I get back to prepare the release. Sorry it took this long for Windows 10 support. I was patiently waiting and testing whether I could add Windows 10 compatibility using UxStyle and it was yet to be ready for Windows 10 build 9926. So I decided to ship with file patching method like Windows 10 Packs for now. In this release, I updated some graphical changes to look more resemble with real Yosemite UI so I hope you'll like it.

Windows 10 Transformation/UX Pack 4.5 Released – Improved Windows 10 experience
Windows XP x86 system files bug is now fixed by reverting to old Resource Hacker for XP only. So if you had a problem with XP, please try the proper release.
Not so long after releasing version 4.0, Windows 10 comes out again with new icons. Thank god it's only minor changes with new icons. There's also one major bug in Windows 10 Transformation Pack 4.0 related to Windows activation. It worked fine on my PC during testing but after using it for a few days, I realized I was wrong. It looks like we can't really tamper those branding files at all in Windows 8/8.1. So I fixed this bug along with some updates from Windows 10 build 10147.
Windows 10 Transformation/UX Pack 4.0 Released – The most completed Windows 10 experience
I thought the last ones was a big update. I didn't expect this release to be even bigger. It took a lot of time and effort to update a lot of things besides refreshing new icons in this release. Thanks to new Resource Hacker update, we finally get tray icons updated including battery and network icons! I also redesigned some XP updates as you saw in yesterday post. All system files related bugs should be gone in this release.

Web and New Media Resources Policy
Section 1: General Understandings
Loyola Marymount University utilizes World Wide Web technologies to disseminate, communicate, publish, and share information with off-campus audiences and the on-campus community. The university recognizes that the web is its primary medium of mass communication and a powerful tool for education, research, recruitment, community service and the efficient operation of the university. Therefore, this policy establishes guidelines for the general use of web resources and the responsibilities and limitations associated with that use.
The university's official web presence, located at http://www.lmu.edu, is owned and administered by the university and contains a consistent, clearly identifiable set of web pages. The university's web services, portals, and other web gateways are centrally organized at this top-level web presence. From time to time, the university may create and revise certain standards for the design, structure, and organization of these websites.
The university's web resources include all websites that are sponsored and maintained by university divisions and departments; student, faculty, or staff organizations. This includes all content, digital assets and other intellectual properties contained on LMU.edu and external online entities (social media, virtual and/or interactive tools and others) published in the name of the university or any of its units. Although these units and organizations may maintain their own web content, they are responsible for adhering to web policies and other applicable university policies and local, state, and federal laws. Web authors are responsible for the information placed on their websites.
Section 2: Appropriate Use
LMU provides access to web resources for the conduct of university business. Incidental personal use of web resources is permitted as long as it is consistent with law and university policies and does not:
- Directly or indirectly interfere with university operations.
- Burden the university with additional cost.
Section 3: Appropriate Content
Since the web is a communications channel and not every web page is regularly monitored by the university, it is the responsibility of the web author and the hosting department to ensure that the information they publish is current, accurate and in conformity with university rules and policies. In addition, the information must be directly related to that unit's university function. In order to prevent the unnecessary duplication of information and inconsistency, web authors are required to link or reference syndicated data elements to ensure that original sources of information are utilized rather than recreating it on their website.
Section 4: Advertising
Except as otherwise expressly noted, advertising by external agencies is not permitted on university web pages. university web pages are not to be used to promote or execute commercial or for-profit endeavors. In addition, using university web resources for personal financial gain is not permitted.
It is acceptable for university web pages to market, advertise, and promote university services and products. It is also acceptable and appropriate for a department to acknowledge external sponsorships by properly publishing text and/or trademarks of the sponsoring organization. However, the text and/or trademark of the sponsoring organization must be directly related to a collaboration, project, or service provided by the university. The posting of a trademark or other logo that promotes an unrelated product or service is not permitted.
Section 5: Digital Content Management
The university supports and maintains a centralized enterprise Web content management system (CMS) to ensure security, consistency, reliability and availability. All university units are required to utilize the CMS for all online activities unless the Office of Web, New Media and Design determines that a lack of functionality exists or other extenuating circumstances require that alternate solutions are necessary to address a specific business operating need.
Section 6: External Web Publishing, Mobile Applications, Social Media
With the proliferation of software-as-a-service Web tools, mobile applications and social media outlets, the delineation of Web activity hosted on the university's official Web presence (lmu.edu) and/or an externally hosted Web sites is not self evident. For the purposes of university policy, all content, digital assets and/or other forms of digital external publication presented on behalf of the university and/or any of its programs or units is subject to this, the university's Web and other policies. All online accounts and/or Web presences established by university units require prior registration and/or creation by Web, New Media and Design. Although external Web tools may vary in utility, style, audience and/or presentation, authors are held to the same standards of consistency, accuracy, appropriateness and visual identity considerations as they would if the content was published on LMU.edu. As new media opportunities emerge and/or evolve, departments are required to consult and/or coordinate with Web, New Media and Design prior to establishing a university presence. The university may pursue, limit and/or delay consideration for a new media presence until a strategic decision is considered and approved.
Section 7: Policy Violations and Oversight
The university reserves the right to remove or limit access to material posted on university web pages. The university also reserves the authority to restrict web access.
The university has appointed a broad-based university Web Committee comprised of faculty, administration, and staff. The Web Committee shall serve to consider complaints, disputes, and other matters regarding web policy violations in conjunction with Web, New Media and Design. Matters involving student web policy violations will be referred to Judicial Affairs. Ultimate authority respecting university web management resides with the university. Oversight of the web and its resources resides with the office of Web, New Media and Design in Communications and Government Relations.

Updated: 10/26/2012 6:38 PM KSTP.com By: Scott Theisen
The federal government now says 111 Minnesota clinics received drugs from a Massachusetts pharmacy at the center of a fungal meningitis outbreak. That's 18 fewer clinics than state officials reported last week after receiving a different provider list, and they don't know why the number changed.
Only one steroid made by New England Compounding Center has been linked to the fungal meningitis outbreak. But the Food and Drug Administration warns it can't verify the safety of other drugs made at the facility.
Assistant State Epidemiologist Richard Danila tells Minnesota Public Radio the lower number of clinics is confusing.
A spokeswoman says the FDA is focusing on drugs shipped since May 21, believed to be at greatest risk of contamination.
Minnesota has nine confirmed cases of fungal meningitis so far.

Guild Wars 2 features five playable races: humans, sylvari, asura, norn, and charr. Each of these races includes an antagonist faction who will fight against the rest of their race, and be one of the enemies of your player character. So for instance, if you're playing a sylvari, you'll encounter members of the Nightmare Court: a group of sylvari who reject the typical sylvari traits like compassion and curiosity and strive to replace them with fear and violence.
Right now, I'd like to discuss the Sons of Svanir and the Flame Legion, who are the antagonist factions for the norn and the charr respectively. One thing that these two groups have in common is a "no girls allowed" sign hung outside their metaphorical clubhouses. I'm not certain how I feel about this.
If you dig into the lore, you'll find they have pretty similar rationales for the exclusion of women. In both cases, there was a woman hundreds of years ago who stood up to them, and they decided to generalise from that woman to all women, decide that women can't be trusted, and ostracise them thereafter.
I want to say that this is just cartoon supervillainy, with the evil turned up to 11. I want to say that it's as if they revealed that these factions stand for punching kittens and pouring toxic waste in duck ponds. I want to say that, but I can't, because that kind of ridiculous exclusion of women is too prevalent, still, in real life.
How many women have never been in a situation like in xkcd's comic How It Works? As women gamers, many of us are used to being on trial as a representative for our gender every time we game. We know that if we mess up then there's a chance that someone will decide that it's because girls suck at gaming, and decide that their guild should be an exclusively male affair.
It has to be reiterated, though, that these groups are the bad guys, and are not being held up as at all admirable. The Sons of Svanir worship a dragon who wants to destroy the world, so I sincerely hope that nobody thinks that they epitomise good judgement and should be taken as role models. I'm certainly a whole lot happier seeing this than I am when the alleged heroes are misogynistic jerks.
At the same time, though, I think that I'd prefer not to see it at all. One of the purposes of gaming is escapism, and it's nice to be able to get away to a game world where this sort of sexism just doesn't exist. I get enough of it in the real world without seeing it in games as well.
I think that ultimately, my own opinion will depend on where they go with this in the story. Will I be given the agency to confront them about their misogyny and come away victorious? Or will the storyline directly confront the sexism and provide social commentary on it? Maybe their exclusion of women will come back and bite them in the rear, directly resulting in their defeat at the hands of their would-be opressees?
Since the game is still new, I have no idea how things will play out. If any of the three situations I just outlined come to pass, then I think I will see it as a net positive in the game. If it's just a case of "yes, some bad people will treat you shoddily if you have a female player character, but that's what bad people do so you'll just have to deal with it" then it will likely end up being a net negative to me.
For now, I think I'm willing to give Arenanet the benefit of the doubt; they have a pretty good record on this sort of thing, and I'm enjoying the game a great deal, so I want to see how this turns out.

Minaon Civilization: Maritime Empire
Artist Depiction of Minoan Palace Life
Initially discovered by Sir Arthur Evans in 1900, he unearthed the largest Minoan palace at Knossos and ever since, the culture remains one of the hardest puzzles in archaeological study to unravel.
Minoan Dialect: Undecipherable Language
Little is known about Minoan civilization beyond archaeological finds and the Minoan language persistently remains inaccessible by scientists.
Eteocretan is believed to be a descendant of the Minoan language, but it can not be definitively linked to Minoan; not enough source material exists between either language to draw any concrete connections. The linear A script of the Minoans and the Cretan hieroglyphs, also remain undecipherable, even with over 3000 clay tablets collected thus far, the language is enigmatic and defies interpretation.
Phaistos Disc
The famous Phaistos disc, a fired clay tablet discovered at the Minoan palace of Phaistos by Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in 1908, is believed to be an early form of pictograms reminiscent of Egyptian hieroglyphics. With over 100 hundred years of study, no definitive translations from the tablet have been made.
With no written records to rely upon, the Minoan civilization today remains one of the least understood ancient civilizations of antiquity.
Archaeologists have attempted to study the culture through a system of chronological periods, or phases going from 3650BC to 1100BC: Prepalatial, Protopalatial, Neopalatial, and Postpalatial. Despite experiencing several natural catastrophes, the civilization rose to be a prosperous maritime trading empire, sitting at the crossroads of the ancient world between mainland Mycenean Greece, the middle east, and Egypt.
Ancient Maritime Empire of the Aegean
With access to the greatest source of ancient copper ore from colonies on the island of Cyprus, Minoan culture became the dominant supplier of bronze and tin in bronze age antiquity for over two millenia. Historians draw a strong correlation between the distribution of copper, and the sudden rise in wealth of the Minoans across the Mediterranean.
Minoans Endure Catastrophe after Catastrophe
In 1644 BC, evidence for a large natural disaster that destroyed many coastal cities is seen. The consensus on the nature of the disaster remains controversial, but many geologists attribute the destruction to the eruption of the Thera Volcano, which many scientists believe caused the eventual downfall of the civilization. However, despite the damage, remains show that the Minoans quickly rebuilt in Crete. Only about 5 mm of ash was thought to reach Crete, and the widespread effects of the eruption may have played a much less significant role in the demise of the Minoans as archaeologists posit. Archaeological layers at the palaces of Knossos, Phaistos, Zakros, and Malia indicate sudden drops in population, which quickly rebounded with further rebuilding efforts in the Neopalatial phase.
Knossos Visual Reconstruction
During this phase, the palace of Knossos grew to be the largest and most influential in Crete. Arthur Evans originally named the Minoans after the legendary King of Knossos, King Minos, who was said to control a mythical minotaur beast beneath the palace in an elaborate maze complex. The maze and minotaur are both connected to the myth of Theseus in later mainland Greek mythology.
The Minoans may have appeared an almost mythic invulnerable civilization to the later Greeks, much like the Atlantis of Plato's descriptions. Yet another disaster rocked Knossos and the Minoans around 1450BC. Additional layers of destruction are labeled by archaeologists at the palaces of Knossos, Malia, and Phaistos. The Minoans continued to thrive though, proving themselves to be a tough and if anything, adaptable people.
Knossos Palace Aerial View
Far reaching cultural Influence of the Minoans
Perhaps the most striking characteristics of the Minoans though is the intricate artworks the culture produced. Large amounts of cross cultural pollination occurred in the maritime centers of the Minoans with other cultures trading on the Mediterranean. Strong artistic influences of Egypt are seen in the fresco motifs on Minoan walls as seen below. Most likely, the Minoans influenced the Egyptian culture, though an exchange also might be probable.
Minoan Egyptian
Colonies existed all across the shores of the Mediterranean. Minoan frescos and pottery were found abundantly at the Canannite palace of Tel Kabri, Isreal, leading some to suggest that it may have been a colony at one time. Many islands of the Aegean also came to be populated by the Minoans, including Cythera, Kasos, Saros, Karpathos, and the more well known Thera. Due to the "entombment" of the city of Akrotiri by the thick layer of pumice that spewed out from the volcano's eruption, preservation of the culture at Thera is more pristine than any other site.
Minoan Crete: Egalitarian Society
Although the Minoans are recognized as a distinctly mercantile society, the distribution of wealth appears surprisingly even among the inhabitants, painting a picture of a markedly Utopian people. Multiroom houses in even the poor areas of town, reveal a level of social equality enjoyed by most strata of the society.
Instead, the rule of a group of elite palatial statesmen, and kings, appears a matter of organizational necessity for distributing foods and goods rather than a tyrannical system of oppression, as is more apparent in places like Pharaonic Egypt, or Sumer in Mesapotamia, where Kings were worshiped and deified as gods.
Women of Minoan Crete
Gender Equality for both Genders in the Ancient World
One of the reasons for this may be linked to the establishment of a rare form of equality experienced between both men and women, something we find also at the amazingly egalitarian city of Catal Huyuk. Evidence shows at the sites that women often participated alongside men in the bull leaping sport, and held high honors in offices of priesthood. Many statuettes of snake goddesses exist at Minoan sites, while male gods are few.
Snake Goddess
Sex and romantic affairs appear much less dry and overly ceremonial, as is commonly seen in most western societies with strict rituals of courtship. Frescos depict Minoan women in many daily activities wearing short sleeved robes opened to the navel, exposing the breasts for men to see. Other garments included strapless bodices, revealing the bare shoulders.
The Minoan Peace
It is no surprise then that hardly any evidence of war exists on any of the islands the Minoans lived upon. No extensive defensive fortifications are seen, with little weapons, which were thought more ceremonial than practical. It seems clear that inequality was minimal between both men and women or the elite and the commoners.
Matters of gender and class may be two inseparable paradigms, as social stratification that is seen in the rise of urban centers is usually associated with a burgeoning hierarchy of competitive men seeking the domination and protection of elite and submissive females.
What could have destabilized such a perfectly egalitarian society?
Two theories that are the most likely, are proposed for the Minoan's decline.
Around 1420BC, the mainland Greeks, the Myceneans, invaded Crete and occupied most of the Minoan palaces. The foreign influences of the more warlike and violent Myceneans took precedence over the culture's evolution there after.
Tablets containing a newly adapted Linear B script, combined with Greek logographic symbols, easily deciphered with well known Greek comparisons, provide evidence for the occupation by the mainland Greeks.
Since the land loving Myceneans proved to be poor administrators of sea faring trade, the well established and frequently patrolled routes of the Minoan trading empire quickly atrophied.
Along with the introduction of iron metal working and smithing into the ancient world, the valuable bronze and copper resources which the Minoan's monopolized in the Aegean became an antiquated good, replaced by the superior properties of iron ore and steel alloys.

I do feel compelled regarding your observation that Tremont is just a stones throw away from the hypercrime occurring @ Clark/25th; let's not forget there is a substantial boundary between Tremont and the crime-ridden Clark-Fulton neighborhood and that would be known as I71/I 90 highway...and I am in no way intending disrespect to the people on Scranton as I know there are many good people there as well, but w25th is a zombie zone
arrested the next day?...in Cleveland, the prosecutor would have mailed him a summons to appear in court in a few weeks
Enjoy your stay at the Gray Bar Hotel! HAHAHAAAAAA
Lets see if I understand correctly; probation is a deterrent to ...more probation?
funny you should say "what an ugly house", because when I drive past newer homes in the suburbs , I say the same thing
I feel sorry for all the diemakers from Teledyne Efficient Industries who were hired at Twinsburg in 1998. You had it so good for twelve years and now this. Diemaker is a dying trade ever since the Chinese build almost all new dies for US stampers. A large number of local stampers have closed operations completely very recently. And from those of use who still have a diemaker job presently, I wish to welcome you to the ranks of the working poor.
Vote for the opponent of all incumbent Cuyahoga judges at the next election. I guarantee no judges live in areas plagued by these crooks, theives, murderers when they send these idiots back to our neighborhoods with a laughable probation sentence. ITS AN OUTRAGE!
I predict that, based on the outcome of other similar cases in Cuyahoga County, that at least two of them, and quite possibly all of them receive probation from the judge who they stand before. Then. the scenario is that we read about these folks here again with new charges for new crimes in about a year or less. And then they will receive additional probation to existing probation. maybe the Plain Dealer would like to do some investigative reporting on this mess of a system. ...put some people on the hot seat...to compile a list of the compost at the justice center.
Yes, and allow us to witness the dismantling of the circus of evil that is Cuyahoga County Government. Good riddance to those rascals and their legacy.
Give em hell Ken Lanci
This story is about Mr Houston. Your experience is about somebody else. Have a blessed day.
Hey that's really brilliant. We can have the cops tag the motorists because they are good at that, and get Charles Bronson to clean up the streets.
Nobody got hurt, therefore they get probation, and if any of them were already on probation, then they receive additional probation tacked on. You know it, I know it, and most importantly, they know it. Thug on brothers and love the throat tattoo
I thought Mason was turning his life around
I guess you could say the hood deteriorated around them( old folks) because a lower class of people took over. A disrespectful bunch with bad manners and lacking morals. Please don't simplify the issue by blaming 100 plus year old houses as the cause.
Many homes in Slavic Village a board ups because of the recent foreclosure disaster when the deadbeat owners stopped making house payments after the first three payments for whatever reason (and that's not the issue here). When you start tearing down neighborhoods to build new prefab junk, the neighborhood loses a piece of its identity. These houses didn't get to be 120 years old by utilizing modern cheap construction methods and materials. The biggest problem is the Cleveland schools. You fix that mess and good people (with children) might return. We don't need HUD homes popping up like mushrooms.
Yes, but what I'm not forgetting is when county employees retire, then get rehired and are double dipping the taxpayers, that would be considered a Right of the Priveledged.
Yes I think the law reads that if you manage to put a bullet in them while they have a gun pointed at you, its legal, but once they turn and run and you shoot, its technically a criminal offense, or if you ( a citizen, not cop) yell freeze after pulling your gun after they retreat, thats also considered criminal. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Wanna bet back talking a cop is not illegal? Once you pull that stunt, they have grounds to get you for disorderly conduct just for starters.
For US suppliers operating in the states to compete with US suppliers operating in China, they need to pay peanuts to US workers. I personally earn 60% of what I made in 1995 due to this but I keep smiling because I still have a scarce manufacturing job. I work in tool and die. I personally know of one Cleveland supplier to the automotive industry that learned to run a modern operation in China with completely redundant tooling to what they ran in the states (Cleveland) so they could quietly ramp up the China operation while simultaneously minimizing the need for the ancient neglected Cleveland plant. The customers still get there parts from a US manufacturer and profits stay in the US. This is considered by some to be brilliant manufacturing strategy because " We do what it takes to get the best prices for our customers". People keep saying China this China that...don't shop Walmart, etc, its all Chinese. What people need to remember, its mostly American companies farming the work out to Chinese suppliers, they do this quietly...and they would rather you not notice.
What are you talking about unions here for? What was the union membership at its height? Maybe 1.5 million workers in the US out of how many millions in non union plants. I make my point refering to myself making 55K annually in a non union skilled trades job to now making 30K in the same type of non union job. This is in my view a bleak outlook for US manufacturing. Non union factories are sending work to China at a record rate. Many people don't care, and I'm comfortable with that. The dominos are falling fast and when they stop falling it'll make your head spin. The unions have already been blown apart...thats yesterdays news. And when you start up with the anti union rants, you begin to sound like a mouthpiece for FOX news. Have a nice day

Yes, it really does. Just rub a rusty gun with a cotton cloth soaked with Ballistol and watch the rust come off. Or clean the barrel and see the rust come out! Buy some and you will never stop using it.
Things I would have changed:The odor is not great. It smells like fish, which I am told is the anise in it.
What others should know:Ballistol is used by most military forces for lubricating automatic weapons.
