Ellen was great to work with on our wedding cake. I showed her a picture of a cake I really loved, and after an in-person meeting and a couple email exchanges, we had the perfect cake planned. When I saw the cake on our wedding day, I couldn't believe how beautiful it looked. My only complaint was the cake on our wedding day was a bit more dry than I remembered from the tasting. Overall, the cake was gorgeous and was really happy with it.

Our wedding cake was from cakes to remember. It was part of our package at the Fairmont Copley. We set up a meeting with the bakery and myself, my mom and fiance attended. It was not really communicated to me what this meeting was for, I think it was more a this is what we can do, what are you thinking, introductory meeting and it was really a meeting to decide the details of the cake and to take the cake tasting home from the selections we had made online. At that point I had not really thought about what I wanted for a cake so we were at the meeting longer then intended I think trying to put a cake idea together. I liked what we came up with at the end of the day. The tasting was amazing. I usually don't love wedding cake as its over done and too sugar but our choices were amazing and everyone at the wedding loved it - can't wait to have the cake topper in a year! My only issue was that I thought the cake was not as whoa as I had hoped and thought we discussed. Given we were getting married at the fairmont I thought the flower accents etc would be bigger and more voluptuous but I felt it looked a little plain and for a barn wedding. I highly recommend knowing what you want and being as specific as possible.

Ellen was wonderful to work with! She brainstormed with me over the course of two meetings to design my cake, and the finished product was absolutely stunning (not to mention delicious!!). I can't recommend her highly enough!

We had cakes to remember do our cake for our special day and the decorations on the cake were beautiful. Unfortunately, we were not very happy with the cake. It was dry and the filling was super sweet. I even tried a second piece the day after and it was definitely not my favorite. I would recommend this place if you want to have a beautiful made cake, but I can't say the same about the cake quality.

Ellen is easy to work with and very professional. You may have to call a couple of times to get her on the phone, but it's worth it. The cake was delicious (we received several compliments--people ate it for breakfast the next morning), and looked even better! Also, we had a 225 person wedding and she was totally helpful in providing the appropriate size for the cake knowing that we were serving other desserts.

We hired Ellen at Cakes to Remember to create our wedding cake and a surprise grooms cake. Ellen was creative and very easy to work with. During our initial meeting she translated our ideas into a beautiful four tier design. We chose an ivory buttercream cake with two flavors, carrot and classic wedding. Ellen also designed a Bruins themed chocolate grooms cake with two sculpted players fighting on a hockey puck. Both cakes were beautiful and exceeded our expectations! All three flavors were delicious and the carrot cake was especially amazing!

Ellen Bartlett is an artist. She met with us, came up with a sketch and design, we tasted flavors, and she put everything together in a beautiful personalized wedding cake, with broken cascades of coral peonies down the three layers to match the bouquets. It was delicious, a strawberry lemon filling and buttercream icing. So yummy and A beautiful finish to our reception meal.

I worked with Ellen from Cakes to Remember to design my cake. She was so patient and worked with me to design exactly what I was looking for. The cake looked exactly as I imagined. It was perfect! Not only that but the cake tasted DELICIOUS. I am a huge cake/frosting fan- and the salted caramel filling was divine. I heard from numerous people how delicious the cake was, so not only beautiful but also tasty! I was impressed. (This was included in my wedding package with the venue.)

Ellen and her team at Cakes to Remember were great. They were able to create a delicious gluten free tier for our wedding cake, and made a beautiful and elegant cake that was exactly as we had described to her. All of our guests loved the cake and took it home to enjoy the next day.

We booked the Fairmont Copley Plaza for our wedding venue and the package includes a wedding cake from Cakes to Remember! I was so excited as I heard their cakes look beautiful and taste delicious. Ellen was so helpful at our cake consultation, making sure our design of the cake went along with our wedding theme/colors. After trying many of the cake flavors, we settled on two flavors to fluctuate upon each layer of cake. When I saw the cake setup at our wedding reception, I was so excited and amazed at how beautiful the cake was. I continued to hear rave reviews from our wedding guests on the cake throughout the entire evening.
Thank you, Ellen!! Your cakes are so beautifully exquisite and delicious to boot!

Ellen Bartlett of Cakes to Remember is Fabulous!! She is creative, passionate and makes amazing cake. It is not only beautiful, but tastes divine. Guests raved about both the beauty flavors - I can't imagine hiring anyone else. She even met our crazy request to hide a little surprise figure under the top tier (a request of my beloved), and she custom sketched the cake design just for us.
We also had little ones attending our wedding and needed nut-free cupcakes and she delivered perfectly. We are so happy with her and would recommend her to everyone. I can't wait for out future celebrations as husband and wife to call upon her expertise again, or the anniversary layer that we may need to dig into prior to the anniversary because it's just that good! : )

Ellen makes delicious and gorgeous cakes. She also has a range of options in terms of cost and complexity. We wanted a simple, elegant, tasty, reasonably priced cake, and she gave us that. She deserves the awards she's won! The cake was by far the easiest part of the wedding planning process.

Our wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious but I did have trouble getting in touch with Ellen and with not receiving a telephone call back after I left a voicemail. It was stressful to get the design finalized when I couldn't seem to get a response but the final result was great.

ABC moving to Portland...on April 1. By bike.
Kidding! No one is allowed to move to Portland, you know that. It's kind of a rule we have.
Portland has enough people like you already - people who think biking is a normal, if especially fun, part of everyday life.
Atlanta, now ... Atlanta needs you! Stay put, settle down, and have an Atlanta-famous donut instead.
You say Portland has bikes - Atlanta has bikes! Portland has craft brews - Atlanta has craft brews! Portland has weird - you know Atlanta has weird. So we don't have a bike moving company yet - that's a business opportunity, not a detriment.
Stay put and help us make this city better...by bike.
If the thought of a cross-country bike move got you all fired up, go ahead and sign up to volunteer with us at the April 20 Atlanta Streets Alive - a little slice of of Portland, only home-grown and Southernified. Or become a neighborhood bike liaison. Or get to know your City Councilmember so we can get more/better bikeways. There's so much to do and you are already making a difference.
Sign up here to volunteer for Atlanta Streets Alive.
Or just go watch some Portlandia.

Loads of ganache!
- sarahjay Aug 21, 2011 07:55 PM
I catered a wedding last night and have left over milk chocolate ganache (2 parts chocolate to 3 parts cream), about 3 pounds of it. It is far to soft to make truffles or chocolate candies, but was hoping someone might have an idea of something I can make with it. I've thought of chocolate mousse, but that's hard to give away to people, and I don't want to eat it all myself :)
Any ideas?
re: ipsedixit
It's WAY too soft for that. I've had it in the fridge since last night and it drips off a spoon, straight from the fridge. When I do truffles I reverse the ratio, but it needed to be fondue soft at room temp for the event.
I added peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs to some and stuck it in the fridge hoping it will firm enough to roll into any kind of shape (like chocolate mixed into a buckeye, I guess). My other thought was to mold truffles, since the runny texture would hold up inside the tempered shells, but I tempered chocolate last week for dipped truffles for the same event, and am done with tempering chocolate for a while.
You can make brownies in muffin cups and put a dollop of chocolate ganache in the middle before baking. It's almost like a molten chocolate cake. I like to add vanilla ice cream when it comes out of the oven, but that won't work if you give them away. But, they're decadently good cold, too.
You could also beat it and make frosting out of it. Dip bananas in it , then nuts and then freeze. Use it in ice cream cake. Add it to cheesecake. Make hot chocolate (though it's probably too hot right now for that).
re: lkblum
Then you could heat it and you'd have an awesome chocolate fondue. I love to do chocolate fondue w/ sliced bananas, raspberries, and pound cake chunks. Pretzels are fun to dip too.
I'd mix it into coffee, put it on ice cream, put it in baked good etc.
Make awesome hot chocolate. Make awesome hot chocolate and then freeze it.
Make ice cream!
re: Becca Porter
I was thinking freezing them and making balls would have a lot of good uses, like this one. Or, you could wrap cookie dough around it and bake, just make sure it's well wrapped. Drop them into a cheesecake before baking. Wrap puff pastry or pie/tart crust around it and bake.
Freeze it in a slab, cut it into small squares, refreeze, and dip them in cooled melted chocolate.
It might work - or it might get very messy!
Boring, but can you just freeze it? I'm sure it will work for your next event.
It could also, probably, be whipped into a great cake filling (even after being frozen).
Turn it into hot fudge sauce? Or freeze it into small bits for ice cream mix-ins. You can see that I have ice cream on the brain!

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Gov. Rick Snyder and legislative leaders are quietly discussing a comprehensive deal to boost spending on road maintenance and education with a sales tax increase, but putting a question to voters soon remains a longshot.
The state Senate's top Democrat, Gretchen Whitmer, told reporters Wednesday it's "very, very unlikely" that lawmakers will act in time to put a constitutional amendment on the November ballot.
Talks on ways to boost transportation spending hit a standstill months ago, and legislators have mainly been focused on whether to expand Medicaid health insurance to more low-income adults.
Yet the governor and legislative leaders are continuing to talk about road funding. Raising the 6 percent sales tax requires two-thirds of lawmakers to vote yes and then a vote of the people.

Mary-Kate Olsen takes out insurance on designer wardrobe... naturally
Mini fashion magnate Mary-Kate Olsen has reportedly taken out a whopping insurance policy on her US$2 million designer wardrobe. According to Star magazine, the pocket-sized twin took the drastic measure to protect her threads from theft and/or a natural disaster, such as a fire or earthquake.
"Mary-Kate has pieces that over US$25,000 each," a pal told the magazine. "She has a vintage Chanel bag that's worth over US$40,000."
Can you really blame the lass? I mean, if J-Lo can insure her derriere...

Keaton Kristick's cell phone buzzed with regularity throughout his senior football season at St. Mary's High School and into the winter months. The buzz didn't indicate the arrival of traditional phone calls, but text messages — short, electronically transmitted memos that can be sent by college coaches to prospects with virtually no limit.
Twice a week a message arrived from El Paso, Texas. Twice a week from Evanston, Ill. Every other week or so from Boulder, Colo., and Corvallis, Ore.
Once he even got one from Los Angeles.
"After a while I couldn't remember the area codes, so I'd start putting the numbers in my phone (directory) so when I'd see it I'd know who it was," said Kristick, a fullback, of the often anonymous messages. "I've gotten them in school, in English class. I've gotten them as late as 10:15 and I was like 'I'm not answering it.' The process started to nag on me a little bit."
There was a time when regulating communication between college coaches and high school recruits was simple.
By limiting face-to-face contact and restricting telephone calls to one per week, the NCAA was able to put up barriers between the two parties. Technology has worn away some of those walls as text messaging has slipped through the cracks of NCAA legislation. E-mailing or faxing a high school student with a major extracurricular commitment could hardly be considered more immediate than traditional letter writing.
But texting? That's almost unfair. "(E-mail is) a little bit harder because sometimes you won't be on a computer for four or five days," said Hamilton High linebacker Gerald Munns, who has verbally committed to Arizona State. "Your cell phone you have on you pretty much wherever you go. I think cell phones are much more effective."
And college coaches around the country have taken advantage. In August 2004, the NCAA lumped text messaging in with letters and e-mails rather than phone calls because there's supposedly little pressure on a recruit to respond to a text. The belief was it's one thing to not reply to a written communication; it's quite another to tell a coach you're too busy to talk to him voice-to-voice.
The designation as general correspondence essentially gave coaches a green light to text at will. Coaches are typically permitted to place one phone call to a recruit per week after Sept. 1 of the prospect's senior year. But beginning Sept. 1 of an athlete's junior year, coaches can profess their love via e-mail or snail mail — or, by extension, text message — virtually without limit.
As a result, from Tuscaloosa to Tempe, fingers are going numb typing away on tiny keyboards.
"We use it as much as we possibly can because there is no limitation on text messaging," Arizona State recruiting coordinator Tom Nordquist said. "Kids find the text message to be convenient. They live on it with coaches, girlfriends, family. It's right there on their hip pocket."
The phenomenon is not limited to football. St. Mary's basketball star Jerryd Bayless converses with Arizona assistant Josh Pastner every day via text message. Even after he committed to play for the Wildcats in October, the texts kept rolling in.
"It's reassuring. It's good to know they'll still talk to you even though you
committed," Bayless said before adding, "but I haven't signed yet."
Bayless said his conversations with Pastner, a longtime family friend, address topics ranging from basketball to academics to his personal life. Texts sent to football prospects tend to be less personal. Coaches use text messaging to update prospects on how their team did the previous Saturday or when it will next be on television. They may ask the player how he performed the previous Friday (as if they didn't know) or to wish the player luck in the week's big game.
Such messages help middle-aged or over-the-hill coaches develop a rapport with teenagers from a text-crazy generation. "It's not an interference. I think it's cool how text messaging comes into it," said Kristick, who has committed to Oregon State. "You build these relationships with (coaches) and texting is part of that."
Not all recruits' experiences are as rosy as Kristick's. California wide receiver DeLaShaun Dean, an Arizona commit, once had an $800 cellular bill before he switched to a service with unlimited text messaging.
Florida wide receiver Darrell Davis was getting 25 messages a day from recruiters before turning off the text messaging option on his cell phone. Arkansas' Mitch Mustain, the nation's top quarterback prospect, turned off his text messaging option early in the recruiting process.
Additionally, there have been reports of coaches asking players to call them back. Though it doesn't violate NCAA regulations, it's a bit shady because it's an easy way for coaches to get around rules limiting coaches to placing one call per week to a prospect. There is no rule limiting prospects' calls to coaches. Regardless of the potential for abuse, it doesn't seem the NCAA is in any hurry to regulate text messaging. The topic of restricting electronic communication was discussed by the NCAA's Student-Athlete Advisory Committees last summer, but no formal rule changes have been proposed. Nordquist believes that could change in the future.
"It seems like the NCAA wants to regulate a lot of things, and I'm sure it's on their discussion plate so to speak," Nordquist said. "I don't know what the NCAA will do, but until they do something we're going to use it."

We had our wedding there last weekend and it was amazing, the food was outstanding, it was a buffet with carving stations and people went back several times because the food was that good. Our event manager was outstanding! She was always there when we needed her and helped make the dat amazing, always giving us those little extra things to make sure we were ok, like sending me a mimosa kit while I was getting ready and the groom a bucket of beer for the guys, it was those little things that make the day extra special

The sales office that sold me on the hotel were amazing..they really did their job. I got married there in 2010 and the wedding planner was terrible and the catering director wasn't much better. I believe since then they have changed planners. The food was good. But trying planning the wedding was a nightmare..they were not prepared when I would arrive. I came in once to view how the table would be set up and when I arrived the planner didn't know what ballroom we were going into and I had to wait for them to set the table up in front of me. When I would ask her to get me different florist options...she emailed me one option of someone she would recommend...they were rude to my outside vendors...BUT THE WORST THING was I asked for a Red Velvet Cake and cut into it on the day off my wedding it was Chocolate and to top it off THE STAFF ATE THE TOP OF THE CAKE you are suppose to save. They also had misplaced my cake cutter set that was engrave for us..Luckily they found them but they were very rude about it. I will not be returning to that hotel for anything. There were other little things that were just communications errors all throughout the planning process.....I think the only thing that saved them was the food was good and the ballroom was beautiful so for that they get a half a star. I have waited so long to review because I wanted to choose my words carefully. But my wedding ended with a seven page letter to the GM of the hotel. The GM was amazing!

Pick them over and wash them in cold water, then dry them of all the water, and bray two heads of ginger, then put your herbs into the mortar two or three times and bray them with the ginger. And then have sixteen eggs well beaten together, yolks and whites, and bray and mix them in the mortar with the things abovesaid, then divide it in two and make two thick omelettes, which you shall fry as followeth. First you shall heat your frying pan very well with oil, butter or such other fat as you will, and when it is very hot all over and especially towards the handle, mingle and spread your eggs over the pan and turn them often over and over with a flat palette, then cast good grated cheese on the top, and know that it is so done, because if you grate cheese with the herbs and eggs, when you come to fry your omelette, the cheese at the bottom will stick to the pan, and thus it befals with an egg omelette if you mix the eggs with the cheese. Wherefore you should first put the eggs in the pan, and put the cheese on the top, and then cover the edges with eggs, and otherwise it will cling to the pan. And when your herbs be cooked in the pan, cut your herbolace into a round or square and eat it not too hot nor too cold.

As for the very large flower arrangement I sent Lisa: I simply asked the florist to send something very nice, I didn't expect him to send the whole flower shop! It was a beautiful arrangement (if a little gargantuan). I hope she appreciated the gesture.
After everything that Taylor went through last season, I am so glad to see her in a better place. She looks beautiful and much healthier than last year, she is definitely in better spirits! I couldn't be happier for Taylor, besides, I love having a shopping "partner in crime." You know what I always say: "The higher the heel, the closer to God!"

I just wanna say two very remarcable things:
1. Chef Tio look really hot with that hair, she can poach my Moi whenever she wants… and, with that said,
2. Go Chef Forgione… s#ck it Canora =P
Hats off for chef Forgione i knew you wounld do it!!! and much, much repect to chef Tsais!!! I wounld have loved to see u and Forgione go for the title!!! you still tha man tho!!! repect's to all!!! Great show!!!
It was a long long adventure for all those chefs . Although, I saw the last show tonight and and Happy to know that Forgione won it all!!! Canora is an awesome chef and to see 2 Italian chefs go after the Title, Thats amazing!!!! They both have respect for eachother and They showed good sportsmanship!! Congrats to chef Forgione!! cant wait to watch u on Iron chef America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw an ad for another FN show two weeks ago and noticed that chef Forgione appeared in it. It seemed curious but then I realized that he would probably be the winner. Sure enough, he won tonight. A curious slip up by FN though I never did see that ad again so they must have realized the mistake they made…
Ming Tsai talks about The Next Iron Chef – http://bit.ly/9c4yGB He has so much charisma and charm. Tsai is already extremely funny. He should have been an Iron Chef from the start. Food Network used him to get tv ratings. The show was fixed from the start. They wanted someone from New York, someone with a European background to replace Batali. Ming Tsai deserves better. I want to see what other chefs such as Alton Brown or Michael Symon has to say.

text: Not in Your House! Team USA Men's Hockey Beats Russia in Front of Putin Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 15 Feb 2014 post a comment The United States men's hockey team beat the Russians in a thrilling, riveting, and classic contest in front of Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Sochi Games 34 years after the US's "Miracle on Ice" win at Lake Placid. The Americans won 3-2 on Saturday after the eighth round of the overtime shootout that saw Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick stonewall the Russians while St. Louis's T.J. Oshie, selected in part because of his skills in the shootout, took six of the eight shootout attempts in overtime, converting on four, including the game winner. Oshe took all five shots for the U.S. when the shootout when into extra rounds. Big-time players win big-time games on the biggest stages. And Oshie and Quick willed the U.S. past Russia, picking up the other after mistakes in the shootout session. After Oshie scored his decisive goal, he pointed down the ice at Quick, who stopped three of the five shots he faced in the overtime of the shootout session. Both were cool, calm, and collected on the world's biggest stage. International rules are different, allowing for hockey players to shoot repeatedly if the shootout goes into sudden-death overtime after the the first three players shoot for each team. And the U.S. went all-in on Oshie, who admitted after the game that he had been running out of tricks during the shootout. Cam Fowler and Joe Pavelski scored for Team USA in regulation while Russian captain and Detroit Red Wings star Pavel Datsyuk scored both times in a back-and-forth contest that saw a third--and potentially decisive--Russian goal disallowed because of a dislodged net minutes before regulation ended. Quick made 29 saves after what, at times, seemed like wave upon wave of red Russian jerseys flying at him on Russia's home ice. "You have a decent idea what they are going to do," Quick said after the game before conceding that, "you can prepare all you want but they can still do pretty much anything." Oshie said the "crowd and the atmosphere" were amazing, but, "We did a pretty good job shutting the door on them." There will be no rest for the weary, though, as the U.S., which only got two of three points with the overtime win, will play Slovenia on Sunday and will need to win to ensure a bye to the quarterfinals.

At Gentle Touch Laser Centers, FDA-approved lasers do more than just shed light on skin. When manned by the center's certified technicians, they can eliminate unwanted hair follicles, smooth coarsely textured skin, shrink pores, and neutralize hyperpigmentation. As for unwanted spider veins, there's a treatment for that, too; instead of painful injections or covering legs with handfuls of concealer on a daily basis, a laser can gently break down and reduces the appearance of the darkened vessels.
Namaste Wellness Spa nourishes soul containers with attentive, customized service and skin-pampering Dermalogica salves. After sweeping future freshened faces into individual treatment rooms, skin swamis query clients to suss out any necessary adjustments and answer questions about the procedure, its impact on different skin types, and the infield fly rule. A microdermabrasion facial exfoliates flesh masks with a spray of fine crystals, reducing the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, and B-list celebrity guest stars. Alternatively, a chemical peel's lactic acid lathes away superficial layers of skin, achieving a similarly scrubbed-clean glow. Visages prone to breakouts or oiliness can also opt for the platinum spa facial, which soothes complex skin types before pampering necks, shoulders, and neglected second heads with a massage. Cap off beautifying treatments with a trip to the relaxation room, where silken cushions caress newly softened skin as mouths sup on cookies and tea.
At Schlessinger Eye & Face, Dr. David Schlessinger goes far beyond eye drops and the Snellen chart. As a board-certified surgeon, Schlessinger offers three types of surgical treatments: oculoplastic surgery for instances of ptosis, skin cancer, or tearing disorders; neuro-ophthalmology, which covers all things relating to the eyes and brain, such as double vision or migraines; and, lastly, cosmetic procedures, including brow- and face-lifts and upper- or lower-eyelid surgery.
Supplementing Dr. Schlessinger's cosmetic procedures, his clinic's med spa also offers proven noninvasive beautification procedures. From within the med spa, his staff of licensed medical aestheticians battles the effects of aging and sun damage with chemical peels, microdermabrasion treatments, and custom European facials that leave faces beaming brighter than a headlight in a snowstorm.
Unwanted hair, spider veins, and hyperpigmentation have an enemy in SpafitRx?s technicians: the licensed and certified team's mission is to clear epidermises of such interruptions. SpafitRx wants to ensure that customers are armed with as much knowledge as possible, so their site is full of information. Pages on the site delve into what clients should do on the treatment day, what they can expect after a session, and what the laser feels like. One page is even dedicated to the history of laser hair removal, which started in the late ?70s when NASA astronauts wanted to go to the beach with hairless Martians.
Angel Tips Nail Spa specializes in lavish nail care packages performed with care and attentiveness. Services such as the chocolate pedicure—which includes a chocolate sea salt scrub, hot stone massage, and anti-oxidant chocolate cream—promise a relaxing and pampered sojourn that lasts from the first touch of the file to the final stroke of polish. Inside of this clean and modern spa, technicians also offer waxing, massage, and facials.
Crystal-dripped chandeliers and tufted silver seating welcomes guests into AgeLess Rx's waiting room, a fitting backdrop for the beautifying services that happen here. Certified and licensed staffers specialize in nonsurgical aesthetic treatments for men and women. They perform everything from hair restoration and laser-hair removal to acne reduction and nonsurgical neck and brow lifts.

Hello, I have just purchased Simply Rails 2 by Patrick Lenz. I am trying to get Mongrel started, on page 43 Patrick says that one must enter the command ruby script/server from the shovell directory at the command line. It doesn't work, DOS says no such command or directory. I am using Windows XP. I created the various directories from windows and not from the rails command as suggested because the rails command wouldn't work, maybe this has something to do with it.
Thanks for any help.

Goals, Strategies, & Values
Goals, Strategies, & Values
See Ratio Christi's purpose, mission, and vision here.
See About Us here
Simply put - A Renaissance of Christian Thinking in the University. We want to re-establish a strong and reasoned presence of Christian thinking in academia.
Our goal is to place apologetics clubs at all major universities. Situating Ratio Christi chapters at universities around the world is an important step in reversing the skepticism that permeates most educational institutions. We desire to partner in taking back the mind of the University for Christ. By equipping Christian students we believe many students will not only hold onto a faith that they might otherwise abandon, but they will also begin to stand up for Christianity when it comes under fire in the classroom. Furthermore, we want to train students to be conversational evangelists that can in turn train others to defend and proclaim the Gospel.
Ratio Christi also provides a safe and charitable venue for atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and adherents to any religion to investigate the claims of Christianity, discuss religious beliefs, and seek truth without fearing reprisal. While this is a distinctly Christian organization, any student is able to become a member, learn, debate, and explore the connection of faith and reason.
Specific goals are:
- To initiate a Renaissance of Christian Thinking in the University
- To share the gospel with Christians and non-Christians in an intellectually stimulating environment
- To provide an open forum for non-believers to ask questions and seek answers without feeling awkward and/or the odd-man-out
- To reverse the trend of de-conversions that occur during a student's college career (currently 60-80% of Christian students leave college as non-Christians)
- To demolish the false dichotomy of faith and reason
- To reverse the general trend of secularism within the academy
- To see the university take a more serious look at Christianity as a legitimately intellectual worldview
- To see Christians worship God with their entire being: heart, soul, strength, and mind
- To develop the critical thinking skills of committed Christians so that they approach major issues with a sense of clear reasoning, whether in the professional or personal environment
- To serve other campus ministries in various ways, ranging from partnership to plugging our students in with their groups. By no means do we intend to compete with other ministries doing important work on campus
- To train students how to engage in conversational evangelism
- To train students as servant leaders that are capable of training others who will in turn teach others
- To equip high school students with the understanding and skills necessary to defend their Christian faith.
To these ends, local chapters of Ratio Christi shall use the following strategies:
- Express the Good News of Jesus Christ through all activities of the Chapter.
- Empower students to grow deeper in the knowledge of and love for Jesus Christ, and enabling them to effectively share that knowledge and love with others by building relationships and promoting Christian discipleship.
- Encourage dialogue and stimulate discussion directed towards answering life's pressing questions
- Engage the entire campus by serving as a catalyst for apologetics related dialogue by sponsoring campus wide debates, discussions, or lectures that will encourage all students and faculty to interact with Christian thinkers on an objective, intellectual basis.
- Extend offers to provide apologetics training to other campus ministries, local churches, youth groups and Christian junior and senior high schools.
- Empower faculty and students to present a strong intellectual case for Christianity in the context of all academic disciplines.
- Form strategic partnerships among professional apologists, faculty, and students for the purpose of exposing, in university contexts, the weaknesses and fallacies of secularism, atheism, and pluralism
- Work with Christian faculty to incorporate a Christian worldview into all academic disciplines and to rethink academic disciplines from the perspective of a Christian worldview
- Stimulate evangelism and academic excellence through awarding an Ambassador of Christ Certificate based on a set of high student standards
- Promote exponential impact by training students to train others who will train still others
- Encourage students to respond to God's call to the mission field of the secular university by serving as professional apologists or as faculty
- http://ratiochristi.org/resources/legatus-christi
Full discipleship impact will only be possible when the rational, righteousness, and the relational are combined. Explaining truth, living it out, and loving others is a powerful combination.
We see this explained in I Peter 3:15-16 (NASB):
…But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, [righteousness] always being ready to make a defense [rational] to everyone who asks you to give an account [rational] for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence [relational]; and keep a good conscience [righteousness] so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ [righteousness] will be put to shame.
This ministry holds to three important values in Christian discipleship:
(1) Christians must understand their faith
(2) they must live in the world, but not of it
(3) they must have compassion and understanding for their neighbor who needs saving faith in Jesus Christ
In other words
(1) Educate/Equip in Apologetics & Worldview
(2) Engage with Integrity
(3) Evangelism
These three values are coordinated and inseparable. The table below shows several other ways to communicate these principals.
|Equipped (Apologetics & Worldview)
|Engage with Integrity
|"Always be ready to give an answer"
|"Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts"
|"Gentleness and Respect"
|Moral Character
|Content of the Gospel
|Good Citizen
|Friendship Evangelism
|Minister to the Mind
|Minister to the Moral Character
|Minister to the Body/Emotions
|Charge: Christians are stupid and irrelevant
|Charge: Christians say one thing and do another. Hypocrites.
|Charge: Christians are angry, self-justified, stuffy, isolationist
|1Knowledge: Accurately Informed Mind
|1Character: Attractive Manner
|1Wisdom: Artful Method
|Son: The Word
|Father: Holy One
|Spirit: The Comforter
1This wording of explaining these three values is from Greg Koukl and Stand to Reason as part of their "Ambassadors Creed."
The book, Relational Apologetics: Defending the Christian Faith with Holiness, Respect, and Truth by Michael Sherrard (Kindle Version here), provides a very good explanation of how these three values work in concert. Another example from the Bible is Paul's charge in Romans 12:2:
Do not be conformed to this world [righteousness], but be transformed by the renewing of your mind [rational], that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [relational evangelism].
Explaining truth, living it out, and loving others is a powerful combination that will enable you to impact those around you. We call this combination of three values Apologetics Discipleship. While there is more to Christian discipleship, without these aspects individuals and churches are missing key components of Christ's call. They must all work together in concert for fully effective outreach to unbelievers. If one is lacking, the others will not operate as they should. Without careful thinking and an accurate objectively true message, non-believers will have what they think are grounds for rejection of God, the Bible, and the Resurrection. Without moral integrity, the charge of being hypocrites gives people an emotional smoke screen to reject the message. Without honest interest in their lives, your neighbors will have no personal desire to hear the message regardless of its truth.
This does not mean to keep these values "in balance" with 33% of each. Jesus is our example. He was full of grace and truth." There is no need to neglect one to have the other. And neither are any of these three values "responsible" for individuals placing their faith into Christ. No one can be reasoned into heaven. No one can be impressed into heaven. And no one can be loved into heaven. But each of them is a tool the Holy Spirit uses to eliminate excuses, plant seeds, and bring the will to the foot of the Cross. So, the task before us is to Get educated, Get engaged, and Go evangelize.
Another important value of Ratio Christi is teaching students to be leaders. This must include a method that incorporates the previous listed values and lean on the leadership model of Christ. The underlying method of Ratio Christi is:
(4) Servant leadership
(5) Discipleship
Jesus did not lead by domination, but by serving. He washed his disciples feet. He gave his life for others. Ratio Christi endeavors to serve the university, the church, and the apologetics movement. We are not here to compete with other ministries, but to enhance them. We see ourselves as a success if we help other ministries on campus thrive.
Furthermore, Ratio Christi is trying to bring apologetics into the realm of discipleship. the recent history of the apologetics movement has been more event focused, probably out of necessity due to the fact that there have been so few apologists. However, as more and more apologists are being trained there is opportunity and need to add "on the ground" mentoring into apologetics ministry. One on one and small group apologetics discipleship will be key in transforming the university culture.
Connecting the concepts of discipleship and being a servant is the biblical concept of doulos? Jesus plays on the concept of servant to image his own mission ( Mark 10:45 ; Luke 22:27 ). The epistolary literature focuses on the figurative usage of slave. These books frequently use the primary term for slave, doulos [dou'lo"], as a metaphor of being a servant to God ( Rom 1:1 ; Php 1:1 ; 2 Tim 2:24 ; Titus 1:1 ; James 1:1 ; 1 Peter 2:16 ; 2 Peter 1:1 ), to fellow believers ( 2 Cor 4:5 ), and even to sin ( Rom 6:20 ). This is a most striking metaphor because a Greek person linked personal dignity and freedom together. Freedom was power and something about which to be proud. The use of doulos [dou'lo"] to image relationship to God and fellow believers sent a message of commitment and abandonment of autonomy (1 Cor 7:22 ; Eph 6:6 ;Col4:12). How about that? Instead of teaching people what God can do for us, Ratio Christi is trying to teach about the issues of self denial and being a doulos.

Remember, love is born with you; it is your intrinsic quality. All that is needed is to give it a way - to make a passage for it, to let it flow, to allow it to happen. We are all blocking it, holding it back. We are so miserly about love, for the simple reason that we have been taught a certain economics. That economics is perfectly right about the outside world: if you have so much money and you go on giving that money to people, soon you will be a beggar, soon you will have to beg yourself. By giving money you will lose it. This economics, this arithmetic has entered into our blood, bones and marrow. It is true about the outside world - nothing is wrong in it - but it is not true about the inner journey. There, a totally different arithmetic functions: the more you give, the more you have; the less you give, the less you have. If you don't give at all you will lose your natural qualities. They will become stagnant, closed; they will go underground. Finding no expression they will shrink and die.
It is like a musician: if he goes on playing on his guitar or on his flute, more and more music will come. It is not that by playing on the flute he is losing music - he is gaining. It is like a dancer: the more you dance, the more efficient you become. It is like painting - the more you paint, the better the painting.
Once, while Picasso was painting, a critic and friend stopped him in the middle and said, "One question has been bothering me and I cannot wait anymore, I cannot contain it. I want to know: you have painted hundreds of paintings; which is your best painting?"
Picasso said, "This one that I am painting right now."
The critic said, "This one? And what about the others that you have painted before?"
Picasso said, "They are all contained in it. And the next one that I do will be even better than this - because the more you paint the greater is your skill, the greater is your art."
Such is love, such is joy! Share it. In the beginning it will come only like dewdrops, because the miserliness has been very long, very ancient. But once even dewdrops of love have been shared, you will soon become capable of sharing the whole oceanic flood of your being - and you contain infinities. Once you have known the higher mathematics of giving and gaining, you will find that just by giving you gain. Not that something is returned; in the very giving you are becoming richer. Then love starts spreading, radiating. And one day you will be surprised: where is the fear? Even if you want to find it you will not be able to find it at all.
So it is not a question of dropping the fear; nobody has ever been able to drop it. It is only a question of sharing your love, and the fear is dropped on its own accord.
You ask me: "Have you any practical or impractical suggestions.?" Practical suggestions, no - that is not my business at all. Impractical suggestions, yes - and many!
The second question:

Nanoparticles loaded with bee venom kill HIV
Our hope is that in places where HIV is running rampant, people could use this gel as a preventive measure to stop the initial infection, says Joshua L. Hood, MD, PhD, a research instructor in medicine.
The study appears in the current issue of Antiviral Therapy.
Bee venom contains a potent toxin called melittin that can poke holes in the protective envelope that surrounds HIV, and other viruses. Large amounts of free melittin can cause a lot of damage. Indeed, in addition to anti-viral therapy, the papers senior author, Samuel A. Wickline, MD, the J. Russell Hornsby Professor of Biomedical Sciences, has shown melittin-loaded nanoparticles to be effective in killing tumor cells.
The new study shows that melittin loaded onto these nanoparticles does not harm normal cells. Thats because Hood added protective bumpers to the nanoparticle surface. When the nanoparticles come into contact with normal cells, which are much larger in size, the particles simply bounce off. HIV, on the other hand, is even smaller than the nanoparticle, so HIV fits between the bumpers and makes contact with the surface of the nanoparticle, where the bee toxin awaits.
Melittin on the nanoparticles fuses with the viral envelope, Hood says. The melittin forms little pore-like attack complexes and ruptures the envelope, stripping it off the virus.
According to Hood, an advantage of this approach is that the nanoparticle attacks an essential part of the virus structure. In contrast, most anti-HIV drugs inhibit the viruss ability to replicate. But this anti-replication strategy does nothing to stop initial infection, and some strains of the virus have found ways around these drugs and reproduce anyway.
We are attacking an inherent physical property of HIV, Hood says. Theoretically, there isnt any way for the virus to adapt to that. The virus has to have a protective coat, a double-layered membrane that covers the virus.
Beyond prevention in the form of a vaginal gel, Hood also sees potential for using nanoparticles with melittin as therapy for existing HIV infections, especially those that are drug-resistant. The nanoparticles could be injected intravenously and, in theory, would be able to clear HIV from the blood stream.
The basic particle that we are using in these experiments was developed many years ago as an artificial blood product, Hood says. It didnt work very well for delivering oxygen, but it circulates safely in the body and gives us a nice platform that we can adapt to fight different kinds of infections.
Since melittin attacks double-layered membranes indiscriminately, this concept is not limited to HIV. Many viruses, including hepatitis B and C, rely on the same kind of protective envelope and would be vulnerable to melittin-loaded nanoparticles.
While this particular paper does not address contraception, Hood says the gel easily could be adapted to target sperm as well as HIV. But in some cases people may only want the HIV protection.
We also are looking at this for couples where only one of the partners has HIV, and they want to have a baby, Hood says. These particles by themselves are actually very safe for sperm, for the same reason they are safe for vaginal cells.
While this work was done in cells in a laboratory environment, Hood and his colleagues say the nanoparticles are easy to manufacture in large enough quantities to supply them for future clinical trials.

Last week featured hip-hop history on the National Public Radio program Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Several artists interviewed on the program have talent to spare. In addition to recording their own music, artists like Queen Latifah, Will Smith, the RZA of Wu-Tang Clan, and Mos Def have acted in movies and television series, composed film scores, and even provided voices for animated films.
Celebrate the birthday of classic film star, Claudette Colbert, born September 13, 1903 in Paris. Known primarily for her screwball comedies like It Happened One Night, Colbert was also a fine dramatic actress, appearing in such films as Imitation of Life and Drums Along the Mohawk. A friend recently watched The Palm Beach Story, a lesser known comedy and was in tears with laughter. Check out the videos and dvds of [ht
Based on the classic S.E. Hinton novel for teens the Outsiders, the film is getting a new lease on life! The author is coming out of the shadows to promote the recut version of Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 film of "The Outsiders" on DVD, on Sept. 20. The film will have a limited theatrical run nationally and is opening in New York on Sept. 9. Starring a then unknown cast of young actors on the brink of stardom this amazing film stars an adorable Ralph Macchio of Karate Kid fame and the smokin' hot Matt Dillon who went on to star in two other S.E. Hinton novels adapted for the screen - Tex and Rumble Fish. Also check out Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze.
Librarians onscreen do more than wear sensible shoes and shush people! Check out It's a Wonderful Life for Donna Reed as a spinster librarian, then Katharine Hepburn in Desk Set or Parkey Posey in Party Girl for more glamorous types. Whether it's the quintessential Marian the Librarian in The Music Man or the hostile librarian in Sophie's Choice, there's a librarian for everyone. Intrigued? A real-life librarian has put together an entire website devoted to librarians in film.
Based on the novel of the same title by Sarah Waters, the three-part BBC production of Tipping the Velvet brings the lesbian underground of Victorian England to vivid and moving life. Eighteen-year-old Nancy Astley is an oyster girl in search of herself and and the deeper truths of love. We follow Nan's adventures through the 1880's London Music Hall scene, decadent sapphist lairs of the lesbian elite, bitter back alleys, and the warm homelife of early labour movement organizers. With a screenplay by Andrew Davies (of Bridget Jones's Diary fame), viewers are swept away into a world of lush life, harsh realities and passionate tenderness.
Producers of the James Bond franchise recently informed actor Pierce Brosnan that his services were no longer required. It seems as though just about every working male actor on the planet has been mentioned as a possible replacement, including Ewan McGregor and Clive Owen, but no one seems to fit the role like Brosnan did. Who do you think should be the next actor to utter the words, "Bond, James Bond?"
Meanwhile, if you're a Bond fan, you'll want to check out The James Bond Story, a documentary about the history of the man and the films.
As you might glean from the title, Eulogy is a comedy of the darkest sort. A feuding family returns home and and attempts to reconnect after the death of the patriarch. Long-forgotten family secrets and quarrels are rehashed, but don't prepare the family for the shocking truth they are about to encounter. Fans of filmmaker Wes Anderson will love this spastically funny, low-budget comedy. The ensemble cast includes Hank Azaria, Zooey Deschanel, Famke Janssen, Kelly Preston, Ray Romano and Debra Winger.
Futurama was Matt Groening's other show, a fact that worked both for and against it. On one hand, Groening had honed his craft with The Simpsons, so the characters and storylines of Futurama seem fully-formed from the very first season. On the other hand, though, it was unavoidable that people would approach the show as a second Simpsons and ultimately be disappointed, since the two shows aren't (and weren't meant to be) identical.
Futurama is an extremely funny show, full of the same absurd humor as the Simpsons, but also laden with in-jokes for science fiction fans and fish-out-of-water moments as 20th century boy Philip J. Fry copes with life in the year 3000. Additionally, although it is a comedy, Futurama's writers weren't afraid to end an episode on a melancholy note - "Jurassic Bark" and "Time Keeps on Slipping" are particularly good examples of this. It's too bad that the show was canceled after only four seasons, but at least the DVDs are there to watch again and again.
Nostalgic for high school? Can't wait for it to end so you can get on with your life?
If you don't run with the Heathers, or if your Breakfast Club persona is more Judd Nelson or Anthony Michael Hall than Molly Ringwald or Emilio Estevez, then Freaks and Geeks might be for you.
Set in a northern suburb of Detroit during the 1980-81 school year, the show traces the lives of a group of high school burnouts and their D&D-playing younger siblings as they try to figure out the answer to life, the universe and everything. As heartwarming, cringeworthy, and funny as real life, Freaks and Geeks is solid -- it didn't run long enough to Jump the Shark.
Creator Paul Feig, raised in Mt. Clemens, has just released a new book and is signed on to direct a movie adaptation of Jerry Spinelli's Stargirl. McKinley High "alumni" have gone on to appear in projects from Spider-Man and its sequel to ER to The 40-Year-Old Virgin.
Critically acclaimed HBO series Six Feet Under recently aired its series finale and fans of the show will surely be in mourning for quite some time. The show's Fisher family, operators of a funeral home in Pasadena, showed audiences what a dysfunctional family really looks like. Series creator Alan Ball, who also wrote American Beauty, gave us refreshing characters and story lines that reminded us that television does offer alternatives to the endless selection of reality tv. If you're already a fan, maybe it's time to experience the series all over again. If you're new to the show, start with Season 1 Disc 1 and enjoy. If you're looking for a show that looks at life (and death) with a bit more humor, check out Dead Like Me.

I have a bunch of new workstations to roll out at school next week, and coincidentally SIMS is being installed on our new server.
Would I be right in thinking that the install files for sims.net should be available on the server, and I won't need a) install disks or b) a Capita technician to do it for me (as has been implied!) :confused:
Many thanks

Once in a while it happens that in a certain situation the cosmic conscious is trying to relate to you. It wants to convey the message to you that you are living in a false world with false knowledge; the reality is not that there is only one life. It is the deepest part of your mind. But it is very difficult because it has to pass the barriers of collective unconscious, of unconscious, and it will be distorted at every barrier. By the time it reaches to the dreaming stage you will not recognize it.
Gautam Buddha told many stories about his past lives. Mahavira has done the same. Those two men are pioneers in opening the doors of a tremendous phenomenon which the whole of humanity has been denied.
And why is society so interested in there being no past life and no future life, that you will simply go either to hell or to heaven? Why are they so persistent? - Judaism, Christianity, Islam.. Their reason is that once you know that you have eternity available in both directions, then their religions will have to change dramatically. If you are an eternal being, then what will happen to creation? You were never created. What will happen to God, who is a creator? If there has never been a creation, there is no need of a creator. So much is at stake. If they open the doors, they are afraid their whole religion as it is will collapse.
Jainism and Buddhism could not believe in God, and the reason is this: it is not a logical refutation of the hypothesis of God, it is an existential experience that our eternal being is a proof that we were never created. And if we were never created, existence was never created.
We have been here always. Existence has been here always. God becomes absolutely meaningless.
And any ideology that is centered basically on God will be very afraid of what Jainism and Buddhism are saying. They are saying each one of you is a god in your own right. Some gods are asleep, a few gods are awake - but that does not make a difference in the quality. One day ultimately all will become awake.
So there is no question of there being one god; there will be as many gods as there are beings - infinite will be the number, because not only man but animals, trees, and even rocks have a being. And they are all slowly evolving at their own different pace.
Nobody has bothered to look into the psychology of Jainism and Buddhism, into why these two religions simply dropped the idea of God. It is not a philosophical refutation of God; they have never done that. But if eternity is available in the past, then your life gains a certain individuality; you have to function according to the experience that you have gained in thousands of lives. There is no other doctrine for you; you are carrying your doctrine within yourself. So both religions are not dogmatic; and whatever their discipline is, it is based on an inner experience.
Mahavira and Buddha continually repeat, "Don't go on in a vicious circle. Just look into your past lives and see whether you have been doing this kind of thing always, for eternity. Do you have any mind or not, any intelligence or not?"

On Tuesday night, Pastor Mike Clarensau was at church when two of his long time parishioners showed up with tears in their eyes.
Their daughter-in-law, Andrea Myers and Grand-daughter, Corrine, had been killed in Alabama by a shooter on a rampage.
"They came to me and told me what happened, and I was just overwhelmed," said Clarensau.
The pastor and parents turned to their faith. Clarensau said he gathered the grieving couple in his arms, and together, they started to pray.
"We just wanted to lift up Josh," Clarensau said. "He's a strong man, but no one's this strong," he said.
They also spent time remembering the cherished lives of Andrea and baby Corrine.
"I married Josh and Andrea," said Clarensau. "I was also fortunate enough to dedicate Isaak and Corrine to the church in a ceremony," he said. "I'm deeply connected in their lives."
He's been with the family throughout many milestones. Now he will be with them through these deaths and the grieving process, he said.
"People want to know why... and when there's questions I can't answer, I always say, turn to God," said Clarensau.
Even though he is not able to answer why this happened to these people to these families, he says he can answer the question of where they are now.
"I remember one morning Andrea came to me after church with tears in her eyes. She decided that morning she decided to trust her life with God," said Clarensau. "I remember that moment vividly... I know where she is," he said.

Unruly passenger causes hijacking scare on Virgin plane

An incident with an unruly passenger aboard a Virgin Australia plane on its way to Indonesia triggered reports of a hijacking Friday.
Virgin Australia airport manager Heru Sudjatmik told the Sydney Morning Herald that a drunk passenger on flight VA41 from Brisbane to Denpasar tried to get into the cockpit of the plane but was stopped by the crew.
Virgin contradicted earlier reports, confirmed by the Indonesian military, that the plane had been hijacked.
But the reports turned out to be false, Virgin said in a statement. "At no point was the safety of our passengers ever in question," the airline said.
The plane landed safely at its destination of Bali, said spokeswoman Christine Choi. Authorities removed the disruptive passenger.
