Daniel Boulud's Scallop Rosettes with Spaghetti Squash
Take a fresh approach to seafood with this unusual recipe that marries baked scallops with the first of autumn's bounty.
By Daniel Boulud
This recipe originated with one I used to serve in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when I was the executive chef at Le Cirque in New York City. I would cut sea scallops into thin slices that I would overlap in the shape of a rosette, which was then served over fresh pasta with a spicy tomato sauce. For this autumnal version, I've replaced the pasta with one of my favorite fall vegetables, spaghetti squash, and added seasonal ingredients such as dried cranberries, chicory, and pumpkin seeds. The result is an original, elegant, dinner partyworthy entrée that is both healthful and bound to impress.
Despite its fancy appearance, the dish is easy to prepare. The trick is to create the rosette shape in advance, overlapping the raw scallop slices until you have a full circle. When lightly baked, the scallops stick together, forming a disc. This time of year, I use North Atlantic sea scallops, but come December, I use diver scallops. That super-sweet variety, which is in season for only a few months, is hand harvested; my favorites come from Maine. The dish is delicious either way. Add a glass of Riesling, and you'll understand why it was a favorite of the ladies who lunched at Le Cirque.
Daniel Johnnes, wine director of Daniel Boulud's restaurants, recommends pairing this sophisticated seafood dish with a full-bodied Riesling from Germany's Mosel Valley, such as Weiser-Künstler Enkircher Steffensberg Spätlese 2011 ($30). "Its sweetness is balanced with a dose of acidity, so it can stand up to the powerful flavors of cranberries and Champagne vinegar," he says. As an alternative, he suggests Selbach Incline Riesling 2012 ($12), which he says is "always reliable and affordable."
A ring of scallops makes a showstopping entrée. The plate is by Hering Berlin, the flatware is by Alain Saint-Joanis, the placemat is by Sferra, and the tablecloth is by de Le Cuona.

This jumper is "SEXY and fits "BEAUTIFULLY" really...the bomb.com. Lol
I'm 5' 7 �?...I originally ordered a medium as I normally wear about an 8/9 or a medium in jumpers/dresses. I had to reorder the jumper in a size small, as the medium fit was too big. I have the small now. I'm wearing it to the Alicia Keys concert tonight. My boyfriend is not the one, to always enjoy the sexy dress code on me; however, he loves this jumper, really loving it. I highly recommend this jumper if you want something sexy, but classy.
Because this jumper was final sale, I can't return the medium I originally ordered. The medium is no longer available on the web site. If someone is looking to purchase the medium, I have it brand new in the box.

Oakley Kicks Off Global Media Week
Each year at this time Oakley pulls together from all our offices to welcome global media to showcase our up coming product lines, provide education, discuss our methods and do a little bit of partying. This year "Global Media Week" is taking place in the Lower East Side (LES) of Manhattan, NY.
Events range from the Thompson Hotel LES for lodging and meetings to Red Bull Space SoHo for our fashion show to Central Park for the 5K run to the Javits Center to witness the Rolling O Lab. Kicking things off in style last night, all media were invited for two hours to mingle with Oakley staff and athletes at the "Above Thompson" room in the Thompson Hotel.
Athletes visiting this year are Eero Ettala, Bob Burnquist, Brian Conley, Claudia Goncalves, Silvia Mittermuller, Karina Petroni, Grete Eliassen and Lolo Jones. Each of these athletes came in from all corners of the globe to talk about there involvement with the brand and how that co-insides with the Fall 2009 Product Line Launch.
Tasty appetizers were served; drinks were downed as everyone soaked in the amazing skyline view from the "Above Thompson" room – check the photos.
Today starts off with a stretch in Central Park with 2008 World Champion 110 m hurdler Lolo Jones and then a 5K Run with 1994 Kona Ironman Champion Greg Welch. After some fresh air and excerise in Central Park it's back to the Thompson Hotel for private sessions to go over Oakley's Fall 2009 Product Line and meeting the athletes. The day wraps up with the Fashion Show at the Red Bull Space in SoHo, which looks to be the hit of the week… stay tuned.

Depends on the TV. If the TV is HDCP compliant then you won't have any issues. If your TV is not HDCP compliant you will have to switch to component cables and disconnect the HDMI cables to view the HDCP programming.
Or sometimes even if your TV is HDCP compliant like one of mine. Due to some kind of glitch you still may have issues which is why copy protection is such a PITA and only really hinders lawful users and not real pirates.

Why Mousse (Yes, Mousse!) Will Make Your Hair Look Better Than Ever
Mousse takes me way back. Back to an unfortunate hair moment during my tween years when my morning regimen consisted of scrunching a palm full of mousse into my hair post-shower and running out the door. The result? A head of crunchy, matted down curls mixed with random frizzy strands caused by patchy application.
Once I received my first flat iron, my curls became a secret and mousse joined blueberry-scented glitter as a never-to-be-used again product of my past.
Until recently, that is. At an event hosted by one of my most trusted haircare brands, Oribe, I listened as hairstylist Adam Livermore gushed about the brands' new line of mousses. "Oh no, not this stuff again," I thought to myself. But after a blowout made not crunchy or slimy, but glamorous and bouncy by Oribe's Grandiose Hair Plumping Mousse, I walked out a convert.
It's not mousse as we all (try not to) remember it. It gives your hair everything you want—texture, lift, protection from humidity and envirnonmental stressers—all without weighing hair down. Really.
Click through below to shop the best of the new mousses and to learn how to use 'em.

Christ reproves rash judgment. (1-6) Encouragements to prayer. (7-11) The broad and narrow way. (12-14) Against false prophets. (15-20) To be doers of the word, not hearers only. (21-29)
Verses 1-6 We must judge ourselves, and judge of our own acts, but not make our word a law to everybody. We must not judge rashly, nor pass judgment upon our brother without any ground. We must not make the worst of people. Here is a just reproof to those who quarrel with their brethren for small faults, while they allow themselves in greater ones. Some sins are as motes, while others are as beams; some as a gnat, others as a camel. Not that there is any sin little; if it be a mote, or splinter, it is in the eye; if a gnat, it is in the throat; both are painful and dangerous, and we cannot be easy or well till they are got out. That which charity teaches us to call but a splinter in our brother's eye, true repentance and godly sorrow will teach us to call a beam in our own. It is as strange that a man can be in a sinful, miserable condition, and not be aware of it, as that a man should have a beam in his eye, and not consider it; but the god of this world blinds their minds. Here is a good rule for reprovers; first reform thyself.
Verses 7-11 Prayer is the appointed means for obtaining what we need. Pray; pray often; make a business of prayer, and be serious and earnest in it. Ask, as a beggar asks alms. Ask, as a traveller asks the way. Seek, as for a thing of value that we have lost; or as the merchantman that seeks goodly pearls. Knock, as he that desires to enter into the house knocks at the door. Sin has shut and barred the door against us; by prayer we knock. Whatever you pray for, according to the promise, shall be given you, if God see it fit for you, and what would you have more? This is made to apply to all that pray aright; every one that asketh receiveth, whether Jew or Gentile, young or old, rich or poor, high or low, master or servant, learned or unlearned, all are alike welcome to the throne of grace, if they come in faith. It is explained by a comparison taken from earthly parents, and their readiness to give their children what they ask. Parents are often foolishly fond, but God is all-wise; he knows what we need, what we desire, and what is fit for us. Let us never suppose our heavenly Father would bid us pray, and then refuse to hear, or give us what would be hurtful.
Verses 12-14 Christ came to teach us, not only what we are to know and believe, but what we are to do; not only toward God, but toward men; not only toward those of our party and persuasion, but toward men in general, all with whom we have to do. We must do that to our neighbour which we ourselves acknowledge to be fit and reasonable. We must, in our dealings with men, suppose ourselves in the same case and circumstances with those we have to do with, and act accordingly. There are but two ways right and wrong, good and evil; the way to heaven and the way to hell; in the one or other of these all are walking: there is no middle place hereafter, no middle way now. All the children of men are saints or sinners, godly or ungodly. See concerning the way of sin and sinners, that the gate is wide, and stands open. You may go in at this gate with all your lusts about you; it gives no check to appetites or passions. It is a broad way; there are many paths in it; there is choice of sinful ways. There is a large company in this way. But what profit is there in being willing to go to hell with others, because they will not go to heaven with us? The way to eternal life is narrow. We are not in heaven as soon as we are got through the strait gate. Self must be denied, the body kept under, and corruptions mortified. Daily temptations must be resisted; duties must be done. We must watch in all things, and walk with care; and we must go through much tribulation. And yet this way should invite us all; it leads to life: to present comfort in the favour of God, which is the life of the soul; to eternal bliss, the hope of which at the end of our way, should make all the difficulties of the road easy to us. This plain declaration of Christ has been disregarded by many who have taken pains to explain it away; but in all ages the real disciple of Christ has been looked on as a singular, unfashionable character; and all that have sided with the greater number, have gone on in the broad road to destruction. If we would serve God, we must be firm in our religion. Can we often hear of the strait gate and the narrow way, and how few there are that find it, without being in pain for ourselves, or considering whether we are entered on the narrow way, and what progress we are making in it?
Verses 15-20 Nothing so much prevents men from entering the strait gate, and becoming true followers of Christ, as the carnal, soothing, flattering doctrines of those who oppose the truth. They may be known by the drift and effects of their doctrines. Some part of their temper and conduct is contrary to the mind of Christ. Those opinions come not from God that lead to sin.
Verses 21-29 Christ here shows that it will not be enough to own him for our Master, only in word and tongue. It is necessary to our happiness that we believe in Christ, that we repent of sin, that we live a holy life, that we love one another. This is his will, even our sanctification. Let us take heed of resting in outward privileges and doings, lest we deceive ourselves, and perish eternally, as multitudes do, with a lie in our right hand. Let every one that names the name of Christ, depart from all sin. There are others, whose religion rests in bare hearing, and it goes no further; their heads are filled with empty notions. These two sorts of hearers are represented as two builders. This parable teaches us to hear and do the sayings of the Lord Jesus: some may seem hard to flesh and blood, but they must be done. Christ is laid for a foundation, and every thing besides Christ is sand. Some build their hopes upon worldly prosperity; others upon an outward profession of religion. Upon these they venture; but they are all sand, too weak to bear such a fabric as our hopes of heaven. There is a storm coming that will try every man's work. When God takes away the soul, where is the hope of the hypocrite? The house fell in the storm, when the builder had most need of it, and expected it would be a shelter to him. It fell when it was too late to build another. May the Lord make us wise builders for eternity. Then nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ Jesus. The multitudes were astonished at the wisdom and power of Christ's doctrine. And this sermon, ever so often read over, is always new. Every word proves its Author to be Divine. Let us be more and more decided and earnest, making some one or other of these blessednesses and Christian graces the main subject of our thoughts, even for weeks together. Let us not rest in general and confused desires after them, whereby we grasp at all, but catch nothing.
SERMON ON THE MOUNT--concluded.
Matthew 7:1-12 . MISCELLANEOUS SUPPLEMENTARY COUNSELS.
That these verses are entirely supplementary is the simplest and most natural view of them. All attempts to make out any evident connection with the immediately preceding context are, in our judgment, forced. But, though supplementary, these counsels are far from being of subordinate importance. On the contrary, they involve some of the most delicate and vital duties of the Christian life. In the vivid form in which they are here presented, perhaps they could not have been introduced with the same effect under any of the foregoing heads; but they spring out of the same great principles, and are but other forms and manifestations of the same evangelical "righteousness."
Censorious Judgment ( Matthew 7:1-5 ).
1. Judge not, that ye be not judged--To "judge" here does not exactly mean to pronounce condemnatory judgment, nor does it refer to simple judging at all, whether favorable or the reverse. The context makes it clear that the thing here condemned is that disposition to look unfavorably on the character and actions of others, which leads invariably to the pronouncing of rash, unjust, and unlovely judgments upon them. No doubt it is the judgments so pronounced which are here spoken of; but what our Lord aims at is the spirit out of which they spring. Provided we eschew this unlovely spirit, we are not only warranted to sit in judgment upon a brother's character and actions, but in the exercise of a necessary discrimination are often constrained to do so for our own guidance. It is the violation of the law of love involved in the exercise of a censorious disposition which alone is here condemned. And the argument against it--"that ye be not judged"--confirms this: "that your own character and actions be not pronounced upon with the like severity"; that is, at the great day.
2. For with what judgments ye Judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete--whatever standard of judgment ye apply to others.
it shall be measured to you again--This proverbial maxim is used by our Lord in other connections--as in Mark 4:24 , and with a slightly different application in Luke 6:38 --as a great principle in the divine administration. Unkind judgment of others will be judicially returned upon ourselves, in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. But, as in many other cases under the divine administration, such harsh judgment gets self-punished even here. For people shrink from contact with those who systematically deal out harsh judgment upon others--naturally concluding that they themselves may be the next victims--and feel impelled in self-defense, when exposed to it, to roll back upon the assailant his own censures.
3. And why beholdest thou the mote--"splinter," here very well rendered "mote," denoting any small fault.
that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?--denoting the much greater fault which we overlook in ourselves.
4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5. Thou hypocrite--"Hypocrite."
first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye--Our Lord uses a most hyperbolical, but not unfamiliar figure, to express the monstrous inconsistency of this conduct. The "hypocrisy" which, not without indignation, He charges it with, consists in the pretense of a zealous and compassionate charity, which cannot possibly be real in one who suffers worse faults to lie uncorrected in himself. He only is fit to be a reprover of others who jealously and severely judges himself. Such persons will not only be slow to undertake the office of censor on their neighbors, but, when constrained in faithfulness to deal with them, will make it evident that they do it with reluctance and not satisfaction, with moderation and not exaggeration, with love and not harshness.
Prostitution of Holy Things ( Matthew 7:6 ). The opposite extreme to that of censoriousness is here condemned--want of discrimination of character.
6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs--savage or snarling haters of truth and righteousness.
neither cast ye your pearls before swine--the impure or coarse, who are incapable of appreciating the priceless jewels of Christianity. In the East, dogs are wilder and more gregarious, and, feeding on carrion and garbage, are coarser and fiercer than the same animals in the West. Dogs and swine, besides being ceremonially unclean, were peculiarly repulsive to the Jews, and indeed to the ancients generally.
lest they trample them under their feet--as swine do.
and turn again and rend you--as dogs do. Religion is brought into contempt, and its professors insulted, when it is forced upon those who cannot value it and will not have it. But while the indiscriminately zealous have need of this caution, let us be on our guard against too readily setting our neighbors down as dogs and swine, and excusing ourselves from endeavoring to do them good on this poor plea.
Prayer ( Matthew 7:7-11 ). Enough, one might think, had been said on this subject in Matthew 6:5-15 . But the difficulty of the foregoing duties seems to have recalled the subject, and this gives it quite a new turn. "How shall we ever be able to carry out such precepts as these, of tender, holy, yet discriminating love?" might the humble disciple inquire. "Go to God with it," is our Lord's reply; but He expresses this with a fulness which leaves nothing to be desired, urging now not only confidence, but importunity in prayer.
7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you--Though there seems evidently a climax here, expressive of more and more importunity, yet each of these terms used presents what we desire of God in a different light. We ask for what we wish; we seek for what we miss; we knock for that from which we feel ourselves shut out. Answering to this threefold representation is the triple assurance of success to our believing efforts. "But ah!" might some humble disciple say, "I cannot persuade myself that I have any interest with God." To meet this, our Lord repeats the triple assurance He had just given, but in such a form as to silence every such complaint.
8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened--Of course, it is presumed that he asks aright--that is, in faith--and with an honest purpose to make use of what he receives. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering (undecided whether to be altogether on the Lord's side). For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord" ( James 1:5-7 ). Hence, "Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts" ( James 4:3 ).
9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread--a loaf.
will he give him a stone?--round and smooth like such a loaf or cake as was much in use, but only to mock him.
10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?--like it, indeed, but only to sting him.
11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him!--Bad as our fallen nature is, the father in us is not extinguished. What a heart, then, must the Father of all fathers have towards His pleading children! In the corresponding passage in Luke "good things," our Lord asks whether He will not much more give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him. At this early stage of His ministry, and before such an audience, He seems to avoid such sharp doctrinal teaching as was more accordant with His plan at the riper stage indicated in Luke, and in addressing His own disciples exclusively.
Golden Rule ( Matthew 7:12 ).
12. Therefore--to say all in one word.
all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them--the same thing and in the same way.
for this is the law and the prophets--"This is the substance of all relative duty; all Scripture in a nutshell." Incomparable summary! How well called "the royal law!" ( James 2:8 ; compare Romans 13:9 ). It is true that similar maxims are found floating in the writings of the cultivated Greeks and Romans, and naturally enough in the Rabbinical writings. But so expressed as it is here--in immediate connection with, and as the sum of such duties as has been just enjoined, and such principles as had been before taught--it is to be found nowhere else. And the best commentary upon this fact is, that never till our Lord came down thus to teach did men effectually and widely exemplify it in their practice. The precise sense of the maxim is best referred to common sense. It is not, of course, what--in our wayward, capricious, gasping moods--we should wish that men would do to us, that we are to hold ourselves bound to do to them; but only what--in the exercise of an impartial judgment, and putting ourselves in their place--we consider it reasonable that they should do to us, that we are to do to them.
Matthew 7:13-29 . CONCLUSION AND EFFECT OF THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
We have here the application of the whole preceding discourse.
Conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount ( Matthew 7:13-27 ). "The righteousness of the kingdom," so amply described, both in principle and in detail, would be seen to involve self-sacrifice at every step. Multitudes would never face this. But it must be faced, else the consequences will be fatal. This would divide all within the sound of these truths into two classes: the many, who will follow the path of ease and self-indulgence--end where it might; and the few, who, bent on eternal safety above everything else, take the way that leads to it--at whatever cost. This gives occasion to the two opening verses of this application.
13. Enter ye in at the strait gate--as if hardly wide enough to admit one at all. This expresses the difficulty of the first right step in religion, involving, as it does, a triumph over all our natural inclinations. Hence the still stronger expression in Luke ( Luke 13:24 ), "Strive to enter in at the strait gate."
for wide is the gate--easily entered.
and broad is the way--easily trodden.
that leadeth to destruction, and--thus lured "many there be which go in thereat."
14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life--In other words, the whole course is as difficult as the first step; and (so it comes to pass that).
few there be that find it--The recommendation of the broad way is the ease with which it is trodden and the abundance of company to be found in it. It is sailing with a fair wind and a favorable tide. The natural inclinations are not crossed, and fears of the issue, if not easily hushed, are in the long run effectually subdued. The one disadvantage of this course is its end--it "leadeth to destruction." The great Teacher says it, and says it as "One having authority." To the supposed injustice or harshness of this He never once adverts. He leaves it to be inferred that such a course righteously, naturally, necessarily so ends. But whether men see this or no, here He lays down the law of the kingdom, and leaves it with us. As to the other way, the disadvantage of it lies in its narrowness and solicitude. Its very first step involves a revolution in all our purposes and plans for life, and a surrender of all that is dear to natural inclination, while all that follows is but a repetition of the first great act of self-sacrifice. No wonder, then, that few find and few are found in it. But it has one advantage--it "leadeth unto life." Some critics take "the gate" here, not for the first, but the last step in religion; since gates seldom open into roads, but roads usually terminate in a gate, leading straight to a mansion. But as this would make our Lord's words to have a very inverted and unnatural form as they stand, it is better, with the majority of critics, to view them as we have done. But since such teaching would be as unpopular as the way itself, our Lord next forewarns His hearers that preachers of smooth things--the true heirs and representatives of the false prophets of old--would be rife enough in the new kingdom.
15. Beware--But beware.
of false prophets--that is, of teachers coming as authorized expounders of the mind of God and guides to heaven. (See Acts 20:29 Acts 20:30 , 2 Peter 2:1 2 Peter 2:2 ).
which come to you in sheep's clothing--with a bland, gentle, plausible exterior; persuading you that the gate is not strait nor the way narrow, and that to teach so is illiberal and bigoted--precisely what the old prophets did ( Ezekiel 13:1-10 Ezekiel 13:22 ).
but inwardly they are ravening wolves--bent on devouring the flock for their own ends ( 2 Corinthians 11:2 2 Corinthians 11:3 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 ).
16. Ye shall know them by their fruits--not their doctrines--as many of the elder interpreters and some later ones explain it--for that corresponds to the tree itself; but the practical effect of their teaching, which is the proper fruit of the tree.
Do men gather grapes of thorns--any kind of prickly plant.
or figs of thistles?--a three-pronged variety. The general sense is obvious--Every tree bears its own fruit.
17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit--Obvious as is the truth here expressed in different forms--that the heart determines and is the only proper interpreter of the actions of our life--no one who knows how the Church of Rome makes a merit of actions, quite apart from the motives that prompt them, and how the same tendency manifests itself from time to time even among Protestant Christians, can think it too obvious to be insisted on by the teachers of divine truth. Here follows a wholesome digression.
19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the
20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them--that is, But the point I now press is not so much the end of such, as the means of detecting them; and this, as already said, is their fruits. The hypocrisy of teachers now leads to a solemn warning against religious hypocrisy in general.
21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord--the reduplication of the title "Lord" denoting zeal in according it to Christ (see Mark 14:45 ). Yet our Lord claims and expects this of all His disciples, as when He washed their feet: "Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am" ( John 13:13 ).
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven--that will which it had been the great object of this discourse to set forth. Yet our Lord says warily, not "the will of your Father," but "of My Father"; thus claiming a relationship to His Father with which His disciples might not intermeddle, and which He never lets down. And He so speaks here to give authority to His asseverations. But now He rises higher still--not formally announcing Himself as the Judge, but intimating what men will say to Him, and He to them, when He sits as their final judge.
22. Many will say to me in that day--What day? It is emphatically unnamed. But it is the day to which He had just referred, when men shall "enter" or not enter "into the kingdom of heaven." (See a similar way of speaking of "that day" in 2 Timothy 1:12 , 4:8 ).
Lord, Lord--The reiteration denotes surprise. "What, Lord? How is this? Are we to be disowned?"
have we not prophesied--or, "publicly taught." As one of the special gifts of the Spirit in the early Church, it has the sense of "inspired and authoritative teaching," and is ranked next to the apostleship. (See 1 Corinthians 12:28 , Ephesians 4:11 ). In this sense it is used here, as appears from what follows.
in thy name--or, "to thy name," and so in the two following clauses--"having reference to Thy name as the sole power in which we did it."
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works--or, miracles. These are selected as three examples of the highest services rendered to the Christian cause, and through the power of Christ's own name, invoked for that purpose; He Himself, too, responding to the call. And the threefold repetition of the question, each time in the same form, expresses in the liveliest manner the astonishment of the speakers at the view now taken of them.
23. And then will I profess unto them--or, openly proclaim--tearing off the mask.
I never knew you--What they claimed intimacy with Christ, is just what He repudiates, and with a certain scornful dignity. "Our acquaintance was not broken off--there never was any."
depart from me--(Compare Matthew 25:41 ). The connection here gives these words an awful significance. They claimed intimacy with Christ, and in the corresponding passage, Luke 13:26 , are represented as having gone out and in with Him on familiar terms. "So much the worse for you," He replies: "I bore with that long enough; but now--begone!"
ye that work iniquity--not "that wrought iniquity"; for they are represented as fresh from the scenes and acts of it as they stand before the Judge. (See on the almost identical, but even more vivid and awful, description of the scene in Luke 13:24-27 ). That the apostle alludes to these very words in 2 Timothy 2:19 there can hardly be any doubt--"Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
24. Therefore--to bring this discourse to a close.
whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them--see James 1:22 , which seems a plain allusion to these words; also Luke 11:28 , Romans 2:13 , 1 John 3:7 .
I will liken him unto a wise man--a shrewd, prudent, provident man.
which built his house upon a rock--the rock of true discipleship, or genuine subjection to Christ.
25. And the rain descended--from above.
and the floods came--from below.
and the winds blew--sweeping across.
and beat upon that house--thus from every direction.
and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock--See 1 John 2:17 .
26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine--in the attitude of discipleship.
and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand--denoting a loose foundation--that of an empty profession and mere external services.
27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house--struck against that house;
and it fell: and great was the fall of it--terrible the ruin! How lively must this imagery have been to an audience accustomed to the fierceness of an Eastern tempest, and the suddenness and completeness with which it sweeps everything unsteady before it!
Effect of the Sermon on the Mount ( Matthew 7:28, 29 Matthew 29 ).
28. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine--rather, "His teaching," for the reference is to the manner of it quite as much as the matter, or rather more so.
29. For he taught them as one having authority--The word "one," which our translators have here inserted, only weakens the statement.
and not as the scribes--The consciousness of divine authority, as Lawgiver, Expounder and Judge, so beamed through His teaching, that the scribes teaching could not but appear drivelling in such a light.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Clergy from numerous faiths came together Friday in Newtown to mark the passing of two weeks since the elementary school massacre with a vigil to pray for healing.
Religious leaders gathered with a few dozen others at a wind-swept, snowy soccer field to offer words of support for the community.
"Your faith leaders want you to know that we continue to stand with you as we all continue to deal with this great tragedy that has befallen our beloved community of Newtown," said the Rev. Jack Tanner of Newtown Christian Church. "It is only the beginning of a long healing process that we will all go through."
The vigil included representatives from Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Methodist, Congregational, Buddhist, Muslim and other places of worship.
Gunman Adam Lanza, 20, shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary on Dec. 14 and killed 20 first-grade students and six adult staff members. He also killed his mother before going on the school rampage and then committing suicide.
"We are your children, your hurting children from many faiths, many traditions, many cultures, from many parts of the earth," said the Rev. Leo McIlrath of the Lutheran Home of Southbury "We cry out to you. We are in pain and we ask for your healing."
Vicky Truitt, who works at Newtown Congregational Church, said she had been feeling worn down before the service.
"Today it was helpful, the prayers that they gave, to hear all the different denominations all together as one," Truitt said. "Even the ones where you didn't understand the words, you could understand the feeling that was behind them."

"As a new Cleveland resident, the Leadership Cleveland program was invaluable to me," said 2013 graduate Mike Griffin of First Tennessee.
"The program helped me understand how the community works and enabled me to meet and have one-on-one time with a majority of community leaders."
Leadership Cleveland is an adult program of the Cleveland/Bradley Chamber of Commerce that provides an educational experience to build bridges to community leadership.
For more than 29 years, the program has enabled participants to understand better the local community and to prepare for the challenges it faces by learning about the many facets that make up Cleveland and Bradley County.
"The Leadership Cleveland program is exceptional," said Kris Berger, Tennessee Christian Preparatory School and also a 2013 graduate. "The experience is enriching and valuable in that it gave me a greater knowledge of the community's inner workings."
The application process for the 2013-14 class of the Chamber's Leadership Cleveland program has begun, Regions Bank's Terri Boyd, chairman of the steering committee for the program, announced.
Since its introduction in 1984, almost 400 participants have graduated from the eight-month program and gone on to become involved in all aspect of the local community.
The goal of Leadership Cleveland is for participants to develop leadership skills and greater knowledge about Cleveland and Bradley County through a series of one-day sessions and an overnight trip. Topics covered include education, public safety, law enforcement, local economy, health care, local and state government, and tourism, presented through lectures, discussion, tours, on-site visitations, and informal question-and-answer sessions.
"Leadership Cleveland is a great avenue for new employees or those that need to have contacts to help them or their business thrive," stressed 2012 graduate Suzanne Bayne, Cleveland State Community College. "I would strongly urge anyone that is given the opportunity to jump on board."
Bernadette Douglas, Chamber executive vice president, defined Leadership Cleveland as an "educational experience."
"The goal of the program is to open the minds of participants to the perspectives that surround each issue," Douglas explained. "Through consideration of these perspectives, participants are enabled to become more visionary leaders in our community."
Douglas added that many graduates of the program have gone on to become involved in a variety of aspects of the community, from involvement on Chamber committees and task forces to local government and leadership positions in other volunteer organizations.
"I wish that every person in Bradley County could participate in Leadership Cleveland," said Brooke Fairbanks, Southern Heritage Bank, after completing the 2012-13 class.
"From relationships formed to the knowledge about our community's resources, Leadership Cleveland was a life-changing experience."
The 2013-14 class will run from September 2013 through May 2014. Those interested should call the Chamber at 472-6587.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/CUBA - Cuban Americans could travel only once every three years if measure is approved

Supporters of easing US sanctions on Cuba concede a proposal by Rep. Mario
Diaz-Balart is likely to be approved.
The Diaz-Balart measure would return the restrictions to levels set by
President George W. Bush: only one trip every three years for ''family
reunifications,'' a cap on remittances of $1,200 per year and a tighter
definition of "family."'
A proposal in Congress to roll back the Obama administration's broad
opening of Cuban-American travel and remittances to the island appears
likely to be approved as part of a massive year-end spending bill,
according to Congress members.
"My concern is that this is very much alive," Rep. Jose E. Serrano, a New
York Democrat who has long opposed U.S. sanctions on Cuba, declared Monday
as he tried to mobilize opposition to the proposal.
President Barack Obama has threatened to veto the measure, submitted by
South Florida Republican Mario Diaz Balart in July and approved by a
committee as part of a Treasury spending bill.
The Treasury bill is one of the nine end-of-year U.S. government spending
measures rolled into one and now under consideration by the House and
Senate. The two chambers are trying to agree on a compromise version
before the holidays recess.
There's been no sign so far that the Diaz-Balart effort has been stripped
from the compromise bill under negotiation, and Obama would find it
difficult if not impossible to block it if it remains on the version of
the spending bill that reaches his desk.
The Diaz-Balart measure would return the restrictions to levels set by
President George W. Bush: only one trip every three years for "family
reunifications," a cap on remittances of $1,200 per year and a tighter
definition of "family."'
"This is changing the rules in the middle of the game," Serrano told El
Nuevo Herald Monday. "What happens to Dona Juana, who left today for Cuba.
She will be in violation ... What happens to people who made plans to
travel the 22nd?"
