Is there good that is not based in knowledge and evil that is not based in ignorance?
Socrates said, "There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance," but lately I've wondered if this in fact true. As of now, I have not been able to come up with examples that truly discredit it, and it seems a very plausible and elegant description. So I'm curious what theTED communities thoughts are.
Apr 30 2013: It would very much depend on what we define as good and what we see as evil. In addition to that, there is a big difference between a good motive and a good result, and an evil motive and an evil result. Or the opposite.
Someone may give millions to a hospital to build a new wing, but if the main motive is to have his name on the wing, the motive is selfish and thus evil. While of course the result is good.
So, in my opinion, for an act to be good, it needs to be based in knowledge or it is an accident. An evil act cannot be based in ignorance because then there is no evil motive.
That's why we believe that those who have not reached the age of rationality are all going to heaven.
Apr 30 2013: [My English speech/writing is still bad...]
I believe your opinion is right in a way, Adriaan. (2 'A's? Nice.)
Even if you are "good", the effect of your actions could be "evil", and Vice-versa.
In the hospital case, most probably there is more "evil" ways to have your name in the new wing, like bribing the direction, or, "having the name on the wing" may be the excuse the person gives to him/herself subconsciously.
There ARE pretty twisted (Either "good" and "evil") people in the world, most of them are that way because of traumas, education (not a bad education. An education that, in the process, imbued in them adverse feelings about a lot of things.) and even as "stacked" effects from it.
People are neither "good" or "evil', they are the better they can do, normally "evil" people just act disregard the consequences of their own acts (It can be with a twisted idea about the consequences), for them and others.
They are the better to be "Successful" (Thoughts like "to be successful you have to crush others"), to be "Happy" ("You can be happy only when you are successful").
So, deem people like "evil" is evil by itself, and deem yourself as "good" is just arrogance.
There's the feelings of people, their education, their influence. In the moment I understood that, I just stopped judging people as "good" and "evil" and started to judge "parts" of them (parts of their behavior, their emotions and et cetera) as "efficient" and "inefficient".
May 1 2013: Thanks Filipe, nice smile too :)
I think you're right, it is not our 'job' to condemn anyone. Although we still have to judge whether someone can be our friend, or be a friend with out kids.
Seems to me that being human means to always sway between good and evil, like a car on the road tries to stay in the propper lane. Come to think of it there may be many similarities between that road and our actions. But then too, as long as we're on the road to heaven, who cares about the details? :)
Thanks for your response.Apr 29 2013: Some studies done within the last two or three years supposedly hint that babies carry at birth some sort of context of a morality.
If all goes well at birth, humans are born with their senses and instincts intact and at one with them.
The only thing they lack is experience (knowledge) in learning how to use them and trust them.
According to Robert Trivers, a leading evolutionary biologist, these young humans also carry the false and the true within them simultaneously, in order that they many learn how to recognize the true from the false.
However, environment plays a huge role in how a human organism, brain, mind and so on, discerns this information for themselves, leading to how they then apply it.
Isn't evil simply doing what you know or believe to be wrong?
If you don't know then how could it be wrong?
If you don't believe it, then how could it be wrong?
Simply because someone else says it is?
A young boy sees soldiers come into his village. His father tells him to go immediately onto a hillside and take care of the sheep there. He does. He watches these soldiers massacre his entire family and they do it with joy.
This boy grows up to be a wanted and hunted war criminal for crimes against humanity stemming from the Croatian/Serbian war.
He believed, nay knew, he was doing good. He was considered evil.
He wasn't ignorant
With the knowledge gained from what he saw, he knew exactly what to do and he did it.
So in fact, he wasn't evil. He knew what he was doing, he knew it was right and he completely believed it.
Only the people judging him are evil in their ignorance of his life experience.
I don't know the answer to your question.
It still is making my head swirl.
Oh, no. I'm not getting enough blood to my brain. Close to a stroke right now. Gotta go.
Apr 29 2013: Excellent bit about biology, it actually falls in line with some thoughts I had on other subjects but that's beside the point. I don't think evil is necessarily doing what you know to be wrong though. I think we would all agree that sociopaths will tend toward evil but they don't have a concept of right and wrong. If it's only wrong if you know it's wrong then a sociopath that lacks a sense of morality can't be considered to be doing wrong. Exactly whose ideas about morals are the best is a conversation for another day but I have yet to read a text on morality that says it's good to joyously slaughter people. Which brings me to your story about the boy. This could, in fact, be used as example of a situation in which Socrates was right. The classical definition of knowledge is justified true belief, so then ignorance would be any condition in which a person doesn't have justified true belief, including false belief, beliefs based on false evidence, and a complete lack of knowledge. The boy was actually ignorant because he had the false belief that he is justified in the slaughter of innocents because he made the incorrect assumption that if others do something to you it's justified to do that to others. The misdeeds of one cannot excuse the misdeeds of another, because if they do then nothing is wrong and morality doesn't exist, so there has to at some point be moral truth. Whether it's your motivation that makes it wrong or if certain actions are intrinsically wrong, it simply can't be that subjective. So if the boy developed this false belief that what he was doing was right then he would be ignorant and his evil deeds stem from his ignorance.
May 1 2013: Perhaps morality is more situationally created.
I don't think I was saying the misdeeds of one excuse the (misdeeds - your word), deeds of another.
There doesn't necessarily have to be moral truth that extends over a period of time.
To arbitrarily determine that "this or that is intrinsically wrong" for someone else, is perhaps, quite wrong in itself, as it applies or doesn't apply to another individual.
I mean, what if? morality really is subjective? Who is to really say what another should conclude about their experiences, feelings and beliefs?
Where in history have humans been practicing objective morality?
May 1 2013: Moral Philosophers have been creating systems of objective morality for quite some time. Besides, what is a legal code other than an imposed objective morality? The Hippocratic oath is another example of the same. We have always had objective morality as long as we have had civilizations. It is always wrong to kill a child in cold blood, I can't imagine a single situation where that is excusable, again making it objective.

May 27 2013: Maybe, Socrates had a foresight of current political games played by somebody. When a politician is caught by his oppositions on some bad acts by his underlings, he immediately said I have no 'knowledge' of the bad act." So that infers he is not involved in these actions.

This , of course, is completely an antithesis of my previous post. That's why I purposely separate them in two disconnected parts. :

May 27 2013: I would interpret Socrates word that he only meant that knowledge is good to the person who possesses the knowledge. It surely doesn't mean what he does with the others must be good. Conversely, An ignorant person is bad for himself, and has nothing to do with what he does to anyone other than himself. If my interpretation is wrong, then to heck with Socrates. As a fellow human being, I don't have to agree with everything he said.May 2 2013: Good is survival
- 0
Evil is contra survival
May 2 2013: Elaborate?
May 2 2013: An individual always seeks to survive above all else. This includes his family, group, animals etc. In other words it is not himself at another's expense.
When he does not do the above he is doing the opposite which is evil.
May 2 2013: So then is it better to help another survive at your own expense? To be frank I think this theory of yours is over simplified.Apr 29 2013: I define evil as knowing something is bad and doing it anyways. Like for example, a CEO at a large company decides to do some insider trading. He knows that it will adversely affect thousands of stockholders and maybe even wreck some poor old grandma's retirement. He does it anyway for personal gain. This has nothing to do with ignorance, only selfishness.
May 1 2013: Or is it based in his ignorant belief that his own benefit is more important than the well being of others?
May 1 2013: I guess you could say that, sure.Apr 29 2013: Knowledge-based acts of evil are everywhere (bomb building knowledge in the hand of terrorists). Acts of goodness not based upon knowledge are everywhere (pulling a trapped, helpless victim from a burning car).
May 1 2013: Knowing how to build bombs is not evil in and of itself. I know how to build several different kinds of bombs but being a pretty radical pacifist I would never choose to harm another human being. In cases of the misuse of knowledge the particular belief that needs to be taken into account is the one that motivated the individual to commit the act. In the case of a terrorist it would be the false belief that their view point, or cause, or whatever they're fighting for justifies the deaths of innocents. This false belief is a form of ignorance.
As for pulling a person out of a burning car, if you don't know the situation is dangerous would you feel any need to help them? When you see the trapped victim, you recognize that the situation is dangerous (which is a justified true belief and therefore knowledge) and that if the victim is left in the flames they will die (again this is knowledge).
May 1 2013: Points well-taken. I too am a fan of JTB. However, I specified the COMBINATION of bomb-building knowledge with terrorist sentiments. The end is evil while the enabler is knowledge, thus challenging the Socratic premise. The burning car illustrates the auto-response to a cry for help. What we call heroic is the response to help WITHOUT knowing all the relevant facts about what led up to the dilema. Helping (a good thing) without knowledge. I do not think a hero goes through all the thought processes you describe either consciously or subconsciously, they just ACT! Sorry Socrates.
May 1 2013: Yes, it is the combination of the knowledge and the ignorance that leads to the terrorist act, meaning if the ignorance was challenged and they gained greater knowledge the act would not occur, making it the ignorance that causes the knowledge to be used incorrectly. As for the burning car, the pieces of knowledge I stated that they have are not knowledge that they gain in that moment but rather knowledge they gained prior to the event. They then use their knowledge to recognize the person needs help. As I said before, if they did not know it was a dangerous situation they would not know the person needs help and so would not give their help. Yes, they may not have all the pertinent knowledge but they have enough to recognize that the person needs help.May 1 2013: RE: "Yes, it is the combination. . . ". I fear you are imagining a human act which is 100% uninfluenced by knowledge, or by lack of knowledge. That cannot be. You support the generalization put forth by Socrates (which I am unable to verify as to source)? I have offered two examples that I believe discredit the idea. You are being faithful in your defense of the old Greek. I must depart before I commit Socratic Irony.
May 1 2013: No, there cannot be a human act that is completely uninfluenced by human knowledge, that was my point about your burning car scenario. What I'm positing is that it's not the knowledge a person has that leads to the evil, it's the ignorance they have. To clarify, I am not supporting this position based on faith, I raised this question in an attempt to find a scenario that actually disproves it, which as of yet I have not found.May 1 2013: RE: "No there cannot be a human act. . . ". The knowledge contributing to the act of rescuing the victim from the burning car is in no way the CAUSE of the act of goodness. Socrates says an act of goodness can only come from knowledge. There is no specific knowledge which CAUSED our hypothetical hero to act heroically. Frankly, I think knowledge would motivate one more toward seeking one's own safety, to heck with the poor person trapped in the car which might explode at any moment. Acts of goodness are NOT motivated by processing information and choosing a course of action. Consider this as a scenario that disproves the sweeping generalization of the old, dead Greek. I'll wait. :-D
May 1 2013: There may be something to that. Knowledge equating to good would imply that greater knowledge would lead to greater good but it would seem that choosing to preserve yourself would not be an act of good. Of course, if we consider it from a utilitarian standpoint then it would actually be better to not save the person as if the car explodes while you are inside then you have twice as many deaths as you would have if you simply left them. Which means were more or less left with considering it in term of deontology. So then the question is do you have a duty to save a person in a burning car? If you do then Socrates' quote is not entirely correct, but if we're not duty bound to rescue people then it becomes unclear which is better; self sacrifice or self preservation. I'll have to take this one into consideration. Thank you.Apr 28 2013: I do not agree with Socrates.
If man were left on his own, could some of his action not be interpreted as good? If a man saw a baby deer entangled in a vine and chose to free the deer rather than kill and eat the deer, would that not be good not born of knowledge?
If a man chose to kill another man to satisfy the curiosity or entertainment of watching him die, is that not evil not born of ignorance?
I think knowledge misused to harm other men is an example of evil with knowledge.
I think a mother's natural instinct to help her child is an example of good without knowledge.
Where does faith and trust fall in this polarization? Got to believe both can be either good or bad.
Good and evil are human opinions. One organism's good might be another's evil.
I think examples of instinct driven non-learned behavior that are interpreted as either good or evil might be the counter-examples to this adage.
I think examples of mis-use of knowledge or learned behaviors to exploit weakness for some reason that was not supported by the need to survive might be evil without ignorance.
Apr 28 2013: Isn't unlearned instinct still knowledge? Knowledge is simply justified true belief, if a mother believes it is right to protect her baby, is justified by evolution (natural selection wires animals to desire to care for their offspring, I see that as justification) and that is in fact true than she has knowledge that she should protect the child. As for your first example, does the man have absolutely no motivation in freeing the deer? Again, I have to kick it back to exactly what knowledge is. In this case the man sees the deer, notices it's trapped and that it's probably in pain, and based on this justification rationalizes that the deer should be freed, that again is justified true belief.
The misuse of knowledge may have something against the argument but as of yet I haven't been able to find a particular example that actually fits. For example, nuclear weapons seem like they could be an example of evil knowledge, but it's not actually the knowledge itself that gives birth to the evil action, we have to look at what the motivations for using the bomb are. It seems most likely that the motivation for using a nuke is driven either by the ignorance of it's power, or by the false belief that such a horrific action could ever be justified. This is certainly a misuse of knowledge that leads to harm, but the evil is born from ignorance elsewhere.
Faith and trust themselves are not good or bad things but the outcome of trusting someone is either that they do good things to you, in which case the belief you held that led to the trust is found to be true, or they exploit your ignorance and use the trust to do something evil to you. On the other hand, trust can lead you to do good things for people but you must have been motivated to place trust in the person. In fact, even the statement, "I can trust him," is either knowledge or ignorance and the same goes for its negation.
Apr 28 2013: I think unlearned instinct is NOT knowledge. It sort of depends on your definition though, so i have provided a definition for instinct and knowledge from the wiki. To clarify my initial response, I am trying to separate what is instinctive or innate, from what is learned, by isolating man.
Knowledge is a familiarity with someone or something, which can include facts, information, descriptions, or skills acquired through experience or education. It can refer to the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. It can be implicit (as with practical skill or expertise) or explicit (as with the theoretical understanding of a subject); it can be more or less formal or systematic.[1] In philosophy, the study of knowledge is called epistemology; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as "justified true belief." However, no single agreed upon definition of knowledge exists, though there are numerous theories to explain it.
Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, communication, association and reasoning; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge)
Instinct or innate behavior is the inherent inclination of a living organism toward a particular complex behavior. The simplest example of an instinctive behavior is a fixed action pattern, in which a very short to medium length sequence of actions, without variation, are carried out in response to a clearly defined stimulus. Any behavior is instinctive if it is performed without being based upon prior experience (that is, in the absence of learning), and is therefore an expression of innate biological factors.
Apr 29 2013: Your description of instinct or innate behavior seems to imply no decision is made, like an OCD patient tapping something a certain number of times just because. A mother caring for her child, however, is different. The mother is aware that she's doing something good and if she is aware that she's doing something good then she must have knowledge that lead her to do that good thing.

Apr 28 2013: It seems to me that using knowledge for evil isn't really basing the action in evil. The motivation is what makes something wrong, not the skill set involved.
Apr 30 2013: "The motivation makes the evil"?
Pasting what I've said as reply to another person (and them talking a bit more):
There ARE pretty twisted (Either "good" and "evil") people in the world, most of them are that way because of traumas, education (not a bad education. An education that, in the process, imbued in them adverse feelings about a lot of things.) and even as "stacked" effects from it.
People are neither "good" or "evil', they are the better they can do, normally "evil" people just act disregard the consequences of their own acts (It can be with a twisted idea about the consequences), for them and others.
They are the better to be "Successful" (Thoughts like "to be successful you have to crush others"), to be "Happy" ("You can be happy only when you are successful").
So, deem people like "evil" is evil by itself, and deem yourself as "good" is just arrogance.
There's the feelings of people, their education, their influence.
Why would the "motivation" be evil if, in most cases, this motivation is a "result" of the influences that people suffer?
Aren't they "good" (Assuming that the "good" you talk about is not the old selfish idea that deem people "unworthy" just because they think different.) in their own way?
May 1 2013: In this particular comment I stated it a bit too sweepingly, my bad. I meant that in the case of the misuse of knowledge it's not the knowledge itself that is evil but the actions which are likely motivated by ignorance.
You're absolutely right that people aren't entirely good or evil, they will tend to do what they believe is the best thing to do. But if we believe in objective morality (which I do since in subjective morality there can be no wrong) then often times what a person believes is best is in truth one of the worst things they could be doing. So then they are behaving in an "evil" manner because of their own ignorance.Apr 28 2013: As for the Solomon bit, I don't think he was talking about morals. He was talking about the uncertainties and hardships that come with knowledge, this isn't in any way applicable to good that is not based in knowledge. Thanks for commenting, by the way.

Apr 29 2013: I thank you for your sincerity, you did help. And it's rare to find someone who so quickly admits they're wrong.

I was hoping for a happy ending.
And for those interested...Seachem did the right thing! Replaced my product just to make sure. Tested what i returned to them, and then got back in touch with me to inform me of the results. And they followed up for a few more weeks to see how things were going, and to offer suggestions. Very professional, and very good customer service!!!
If I may say so, the Purigen was never the problem in the first place - it was very definitely something else that adversely affected your tank & fish - not the Purigen.
I've been using it properly 24/7 for several years in my planted discus tanks - I always have crystal clear water, and absolutely no problems whatsoever.
I swear by Purigen, and will never quit using it.
|I ended up throwing the Purigen into a Ziploc bag and left it to sit for a few weeks, damp in its bag. Then against my better judgement I placed it back into the filter without cleaning it. I kind of expected disaster out we damp for weeks, and I figured almost anything might be growing on it. Well, it polished my water, didn't smell or anything, and the fish were not affected. Not even one bit. They acted as if nothing had changed. I've been throwing it in every few weeks since then just to polish the water and remove any color. And out seems to be doing the job nicely. I've not rinsed it or cleaned it or bleached it or anything. I just take it out of the wet Ziploc and throw on top of my filter floss. Don't know why it's working now and not screwing up the fish, snails,and crab, but it is. I'm almost afraid to clean/recharge the thing as even with the damp storage and my expectation of mold or mildew I'm good to go!
|So what happened?
|Wow, I would be depressed if I came home with all of my 105 guppies dead(along with some shrimp and about 50 ramshorns).
Thanks for the update!
|I have heard from Seachem a few times since last posting. They could not find anything out of the norm regarding the Purigen I sent them. There was nothing wrong with my sample, and it performed as expected when they tried it themselves. They sent me a replacement that came in a new packaging. No more box, but now in a colorful sealed bag. I tried the new product and got the same results as with the original sample. So it's not the Purigen, but instead something in my water. The last correspondence from Seachem asked me to recharge the new Purigen that they had just recently sent to me. I've not yet had the time to do this, but will soon. I wonder what they are thinking!
|I also had a similar experience with Purigen. I just got the same package couple of weeks back upon placing it in the filter the effect was almost immediate, but my Purigen bag had a slight tear so some of the pellets got into the tank so I wasn't sure if some of the fish had swallowed them. Anyway, the effect on some of my fish was similar. Mouth half closed, slightly lethargic and one of the fish had a very fast gill movement almost like they were shaking. I thought it might because the fish ate the loose pellets. They were all fine the next day though.
Just reading this while searching for something else. Sucks that you lost your fish! Hope things have stabilized and things are thriving now.
I've got similar setups with Marineland tanks (5g and 12g), guppies and Purigen. Never had any issues, and have recharged the bags several times, sometimes a little less than once a week, when I had added new driftwood and Purigen was sucking up all the tannins.
One thing I did was actually replace the carbon filter pad with the Purigen bag, since they're both basically doing the same thing. Though I do also use a pre-filter sponge on my intake (the one for Fluval Edge works great.)
My understanding of Purigen is that, as basically a porous plastic that traps organics, it's not like a chemical that "reacts" with things in the water, so it can't create toxic compounds. It's more like mechanical filtration, but at the molecular level. You have to soak it in bleach to make it let go of the stuff it's grabbed, unlike charcoal that can start dumping toxins back out.
That said, a bag that size for such a small aquarium might have sucked up enough material fast enough that there was a noticeable change in the water quality in a short period of time. With the overstocking and you mentioning the previous yellow-ish color of the water, I just wonder if the guppies, especially the older ones, had gotten use to the "bad" water and couldn't handle the suddenly cleaner water params.
Today I noticed the polishing effect of the Purigen. The water is crystal clear like I've never seen before. In comparison, the water used to look yellowish, but I hadn't really noticed that until now. The water basically has disappeared from view.
Everyone in the tank seems to be back to normal except for one elderly guppy.
I had my first fatality. The oldest fish in the tank died overnight. Well, at least I think it died as opposed to it being killed. I found it above the water on a shelf that supports the filter. The shelf is still under the hood of the tank, but above water. This location is the Red-Clawed Crab's second favorite spot. The fish was partially consumed, so either he died and was placed there, or he just wasn't quick enough to escape the crab, while swimming by too close. I can't blame the death on the Purigen. He was old to the point where I was contemplating euthanizing him soon. He was struggling with his swimming, but was still going after the ladies. That alone kept me from doing it sooner. Figured I'd let the old codger sew his oats .
Package of old Purigen will ship out today to Seachem. Hopefully will know a little more in the next week or two.

Re: Purigen mistake!
Curious if you have iron in your water, and if there's something that may be removing oxygen when you place the Purigen in your filter.

Re: Purigen mistake!
What's in your water that could be causing this reaction with Purigen?
I give my fish coffee
I left the bag in overnight, as before I retired for the evening a good many of the larger fish had resumed their normal habits. Some, still were at the surface, but most looked good.
So, now 12 hours later, there are still about half a dozen or so that are hiding up top in the corner, in the dark. I dumped in some flake food, 1/4 of an algae wafer and one shrimp pellet to entice them to feed, but those up top stayed there. The juveniles though were feeding like crazy along with the adults who weren't up top en masse. I also put in some food for the fry, and they also fed like normal.
The addition of the Purigen just seems to be affecting the adult guppies. The Panda Corydora, Trumpet and Nerite Snails and Red-Clawed Crab seem good. The Trumpet Snails have gone back to hiding under the gravel in the daylight, as expected.
If anything, the Purigen is having absolutely no effect on the crab. She likes to sit half out of the water, on the top of the filter pad in the filter. When I open the lid to the tank, she'll normally scurry into the exhaust port of the powerhead (big-ish square opening that overflows onto the filter pad atop the tank, and yes, one time she lost 2 legs in the impeller, but they grew back after a molt or two). Well, this morning when I went to turn on the tank's light and opened the lid, there she was, eating a small piece of carrot (don't know whether she eats it or just likes the texture, or just likes to rip things apart) on top of the bag of Purigen. Upon the movement of the lid, she waved good morning with one claw (I'll take that as "back off sucker") and bolted into the powerhead's exhaust. Yes, one day I'll put some screen over the exhaust. Sorry to digress!!!
Water parameters, at least what I can test for, seem unchanged compared to before putting the Purigen in.
I'm hoping to move into a super large tank soon. Going from 3 to 5 gallons. On that tank, I'll be able to use my Aquaclear Mini (AQ20). Then I believe I'll have good flow through the entire bag of Purigen, as opposed to the trickle through only a very, very small surface area of the bag. I'll update with any findings/observations, when I finally get that set up.
I'll also post anything that Seachem informs me of, if in fact they tell me anything.

The Psychology of Money
Although the fundamentals of financial management are very much about numbers, these fundamentals tend to be somewhat useless if the psychological aspects of financial management are ignored.
One of the psychological issues in financial management is the tendency for people to believe financial stress is only something poor people or irresponsible people deal with. This is far from the truth. Financial stress is more realistically compared to weeds. It is an undesirable reality that nobody is exempt from. The solution is not to wish it weren't so; it is to learn to manage it.
Another psychological issue in financial management is comparing our circumstance to other peoples' circumstances. The following story highlights some of the dangers of these comparisons.
Let's assume that a group of people who know absolutely nothing about skydiving decide they want to jump out of an airplane. A few of the people are fortunate enough to be warned about the dangers of skydiving before they jump and receive some training in how to use a parachute. Unfortunately, some of the other people make the jump without any knowledge of the dangers involved.
As the people jump from the plane, they all feel the rush that comes from flying through mid air. According to their training, the people with parachutes pull their ripcords at the appropriate time. Their parachutes come out, and their acceleration is abruptly slowed. The people without parachutes continue to accelerate at exhilarating speeds. As these people pull away from those whose chutes have stopped their acceleration, some of the people with parachutes begin to question the wisdom of their training, envious of the others who are still feeling the exhilaration of the free fall. Unfortunately, some of these people are convinced that their parachute is preventing them from experiencing the ultimate exhilaration that the people ahead of them are still feeling, so they cut their parachutes loose and once again begin to free fall.
Of course, in reality, no one jumps out of an airplane without realizing some of the consequences involved, but the financial equivalent is very much a reality.
If we are to have success managing our finances, we first have to rid ourselves of the mindset that financial management prevents us from experiencing ultimate exhilaration. Yes, good financial management, at times, may feel like it is slowing our "acceleration," preventing us from experiencing the exhilaration that others seem to be experiencing, but, just like a parachute, good financial management makes the landing much more enjoyable.
ReliaBalancetm is like our own personal financial parachute. At times it will feel like it is holding us back, but it will really be protecting us, allowing us to enjoy as much exhilaration as possible without the pain of a crash landing.

Celebrating the Science of Sustainability
Orlando Science Center Unveiled New Energy-Efficient HVAC, Solar Panels and Announced Major Lighting Retrofit
The Orlando Science Center unveiled its state-of-the-art eco-friendly HVAC system and solar panel array and launched its plan for a major lighting retrofit on June 16, 2010. These efforts are part of the Science Center's dedication to increase energy efficiency, decrease operational costs and help serve as a community leader demonstrating the use of sustainable technologies.
This event announces the completion of the organization's first steps towards attaining the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for its facility. Many partners contributed to the success of this effort, including the City of Orlando, Orange County, the Orange County Arts and Cultural Affairs Council, Irvine Mechanical, OUC the Reliable One, the Darden Restaurant Foundation and Azur Solar USA.
In attendance were Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, City Commissioners Phil Diamond, Robert Stuart, and Patty Sheehan, Orange County Commissioners Bill Segal and Linda Stewart, OUC—The Reliable One Board President Katie Porta, Vice President of Finance for Darden Specialty Restaurant Group Renato Barbon, and Senior Vice President for Walmart Stores Joaquin Gonzalez Varela.
Varela made a check presentation of $125,000 on behalf of the Walmart Foundation. These funds will underwrite a retrofit of 3,000 of the facility's lamps with energy-efficient technologies as well as provide community access to the Science Center through four "Walmart $5 Admission Days" over the next year.
The Science Center plans to use their facility to showcase energy efficient sustainable technologies and their impact on the environment. Educational experiences, including tours of the HVAC's innovative chiller plant and the solar panel array, have been developed to demonstrate the science behind sustainability and its positive impact on the operations of the Science Center and the environment in general.

On Tuesday night, Michael Bastian celebrated the launch of his GANT by Michaal Bastian collection at Saks with models, ganterrific gift bags, and a whole lotta prep. And though we shared some campaign images that had to have made you swoon, there's nothing like the real thing to get you all hot'n'bothered. The prices are lower than Bastian's signature line, though a bit higher than GANT's existing collection—think GANT Rugger on coke, not speed. While we spent our fair share of time ogling the boys (and one ridic hot girl—Bastian's jack of all trades Eugenia Gonzalez Ruiz-Olloqui), we did manage to fit in a quick couple of minutes with Bastian himself. Peep our interview, but don't forget to check out our slideshow of pix from the party. Trust, it's well worth it.
You have the most beautiful models in the industry. How do you do it?
"We haven't even started our casting yet. We see a thousand guys to get 30 guys—we see every guy in New York."
What's the look you're going for this season?
"Hairy, I don't wanna see any waxed chests, any waxed legs. Hairy—would love some facial hair...tough. We're looking for Navy S.E.A.L.S. this time.
You don't do any celebrity outreach?
"Not so much. We haven't gotten our hands around that."
Kanye obviously loves you guys. Anyone who hasn't worn your stuff that you would do wear it. Pharrell perhaps?
"Yes. Did you watch Miss Universe?" No. [chuckle]
"Well I am embarrassed to say I did."
"John Legend was playing at Miss Universe and I was like f*cking John Legend is sick. I would love to talk to John Legend."
And, yes, we're embarrassed to say we finished the interview then. Dude in the rugby shirt was just too distracting.

|Application Name
|let's just call it Beta
|Short Description
|Photo Question & Answer Site
|Supported OSes
|Web Page
|System Requirements
|a browser
|tomos & adi_barb with lots of help from mouser
Well, lets call this a release There wont be any structural changes made to the site till Monday (Jan 3rd) or later
First I'll say -
if you go to the site and have problems, have a look at Current Problems below and see if that helps you - if the problem isnt listed please post about it - thanks!
The idea is very simple
- upload an image and ask a question
- Answers can be chosen by the OP or by a moderator
- The pictures can be tagged and answers could be added as tags - so over time a database of tagged images would build up
- Pictures/Questions can be browsed via slideshow, randomly or related to topic of interest
I was working on this idea for a while with mouser. Then we were both busy and it just sat there for a while. Recently adi started two threads: we want to enter a small nany web service app, coded in php... any suggestions? and FamousWhy Software : Famous Questions CMS. So I suggested the idea to him.
Basically adi & co. have been working for the last week customising their Q&A "CMS" while I've been saying I want this and I want that and generally pestering them
Evolution of Idea
initially I was thinking of it as a very practical, an 'identification' site - what is this - this is an oak tree. Now it's much more open - we wont really know what the site will be like until it gets going. Which makes it interesting, and means that you can mould it to however you would like it to be...
- Implemented so far:
- home/indexpage showing list of questions and "editor's choice" image/question with ability to ask a question on the same page (shot #1 below)
- click on question or thumbnail to go to full question page (shot #2 below)
- ask/answer - with immediate regristration via a small popup, or via Facebook
- categories/topics pages
- member pages
Current Problems (mainly the big ones :p)
1) You have to tag an image before it will be accepted:
- you have to add a comma "," after the tag word for it to be accepted
- the status of your selected file is not indicated - e.g. if you forget to add a tag to an image, you will get an error message and the site will 'forget' the selected file's details so you'll have to srat from scratch (your question is remembered though).
3) Currently you are UNABLE to change any details on your Profile page
4) Categories are not properly associated with the questions i.e. on Categories page they all show as having zero related questions.
6) if you ask a question and then login using name & password, you may get an error message but the login should still be successful
7) Some emails take a long time (I get emails instantly in my gmail a/c but have had to wait hours with other email accounts. But note that you can post instantly - without having gotten your regristration email. I dont know why this is - some problem with the godaddy email accounts maybe.
Planned Features
- slideshow - random or related to chosen category (pre-defined tag) or topic (free-tag)
full question page
- Report any problems, preferably here.
- design comments
- Feedback in general
- Any advice in general about "this kind of thing" - I'm sortof out of my depth here!
first what do you think of the name imagenamer.com ? It has been a struggle trying to get a name that is available and suitable. If you have any other suggestions throw them out (preferably available as a dot com name - but I can check!)name now askapic

Jesus the Artist
Speaking in parables is indeed similar to an artist's craft. They create impressions, whole new worlds of meaning intended to turn old worlds on their heads.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Speaking in parables is indeed similar to an artist's craft. They create impressions, whole new worlds of meaning intended to turn old worlds on their heads.
Classical Christian orthodoxy as expressed in the Creeds begins at the beginning: nature owes its existence to and is sustained by Jesus Christ. One implication is that the best way of finding out about nature is to look at nature.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
In this five part series, two young men, Josh and Aron, engage each other through e-mail letters. Their conversation oscillates between the seemingly suspicious elements of God and the gospel (raised by Josh) as well as responses that offer meaningful insight into these questions (answered by Aron). Ideas such as prayer, judgment, and the concealed nature of God are among the many points in this truth-seeking exchange.
This series written by Brian Godawa delves into eschatological passages with "de-creation language." He argues that these passages do not foretell literal geophysical events to come, but, put into the context of the Old Testament thinking, actually describe the dethroning of worldly powers and the establishing of God's kingdom on Earth. This, according to Godawa, happened when Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
In this series, Oliver R. Barclay examines the idea of God as Designer. He concludes that God did indeed design creation, and that the "state of the world is evidence not only for the existence and power of God but for his kindness and care for his creation." Barclay then goes on to investigate the arguments for Intelligent Design which attempt to prove that certain examples of design necessarily imply direct intervention by a Great Designer. He points the flaws of such an argument and discusses its implications.
Science does not overthrow the Bible. Faith does not require rejecting science. World-renowned scientist Francis Collins, author of The Language of God, along with fellow scientist Karl Giberson show how we can embrace both. -Amazon
Polkinghorne discusses the origins and aims of natural theology in this series. It does not offer truth, but rather a "best explanation" for the world, answering primarily meta-questions. Two such questions asked by Polkinghorne are, "Why is science possible at all?" and "What makes the universe so special?" To explore the answers, he looks at the ability of human minds to penetrate mysteries of the natural world as well as the fine-tuning of the universe necessary to produce the fruitfulness of life.
Our estrangement from God began when early humans disobeyed God's will and took a path leading away from God. Genes and culture contribute to a sinful world in which all people are born and nurtured, and our impact on our environment distorts the terrestrial creation.
Central to all of this is the resurrection of Jesus. Rising from the dead is the true beginning of this new mode of existence in which believers—right here and now—take part. Believing in Jesus means you are benefiting from Jesus' resurrection already now in the new life you experience by the power of the Spirit.
In this short video, physicist Ard Louis expresses some doubts about Intelligent Design, noting that his primary resistance to the movement is based on theological grounds rather than science.
BioLogos enthusiastically endorses the idea that the universe is intelligently designed and we certainly believe that the creator of the universe is intelligent. I want to acknowledge the real similarities between fine-tuning arguments and arguments made by ID.
In this two part series, philosopher Francis Beckwith offers a brief history of the ID movement and discusses his intellectual journey alongside of it.
We sent biologist Francisco Ayala a copy of Stephen C. Meyer's Signature in the Cell and asked him to respond to our reflections on the book.
In this series, David Opderbeck looks at the Intelligent Design movement through the lens of legal history. He begins by analyzing the famous case Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District, as well as how the courts handle the question of science in general. Additionally, he examines whether Intelligent Design can really be religiously-neutral, and whether that's even a desirable goal.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."

my bad brother, I put it in my sig and profile pic.
its now in my avitar, best i could do. I'm from syracuse, now live in Cincy. Cant describe my hatred for the Bills, patises and oh yeah the jests.
The pic I can't seem to find anymore is the one of Marino in a gold (future HOF) sports jacket holding up a Chicago Bears helmet or picture or something and flipping it off in 1985 right after we upset their bid for an undefeated season. Heh, I'd like to have that pic.

When Medicine Got It Wrong, the documentary about NAMI's origins as a grassroots movement and founding as a national organization, will air on local PBS television stations in May and beyond.
The film tells the stories of families who were unfairly blamed for their children's mental illness and insisted on advancements in medicine and science. The documentary was shown at NAMI's 30th anniversary national convention last year.
When Medicine Got It Wrong is not just about the past--it's about NAMIs present and future. In the face of continuing stigma and discrimination, budget cutbacks and people still falling through cracks, it asks, "Where is the outrage today?"
Click here to find your local air date and time.
Lisa Schubert, associate pastor of discipleship and formation at the North United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, shares her thoughts on what it means for faith communities and their leaders to embrace and listen to those who live with mental illness.

|New Dog Mountain Video and Burlington Exhibit
There is a fun, new YouTube video about Dog Mountain's 2010 fall festival in Saint Johnsbury VT. Stephan Huneck, artist and founder of Dog Mountain and its famous Dog chapel, passed away earlier this year so all the events from now on are in part memorials to his life and work.
Coincidentally, Frog Hollow gallery in Burlington is currently staging a Stephan Huneck exhibit through the end of this month. It features Huneck's prints, sculptures and books including a posthumously printed book entitles "Even Bad Dogs Go To Heaven" and even a replica of Dog Chapel.
Frog Hollow is the Vermont State Craft Center and features works from 250 Vermont artisans. It's located at 85 Church Street in Burlington. Their summer hours are still listed on the website but it should be open most days during winter. You can call (802) 863-6458 for details.
Both Dog Mountain and Frog Hollow also have Facebook pages.
All dog lovers should plan a visit to Dog Mountain located just outside Saint Johnsbury Vermont. It's open seven days a week year around and has festivals each year. For your GPS, plug in the address: 143 Parks Road, Saint Johnsbury, VT, 05819

|Stowe Summer Attractions Open This Weekend
Stowe Alpine Slide
This Saturday, June 19, Stowe opens its summer attractions including my favorite, the Alpine Slide.
This adventure starts with a chair lift ride to the top of Spruce Peak Mountain. At the top, you are given a plastic sled on wheels and directed to one of the two parallel fiberglass tracks. The starter, one of the many young people from all over the world who serve as summer interns, holds the people going down and lets them go about every minute or so to allow plenty of separation from other people on the same track. You're not supposed to race the person in the track next to you but the starter sends you both at the same time so who's to say you can't get a little competitive?
The track has curved sides to help hold the cart in. You would have to be going crazy fast to fly off a corner but, of course, a few people have found a way to do that. The ride is very safe if you don't take wild chances. You control the sled with a stick between your legs: push forward to go faster, pull back to slow down and stop at the bottom. The ride down is two or three minutes long.
I recommend you get at least two tickets because when you come down the first time, you will almost certainly want to do do it again.
In addition to the Alpine Slide, Stowe has a gondola ride to the Cliff House restaurant near the top of Mount Mansfield (great views), bungee trampolines, inflated obstacle course, and climbing wall . . . great times for young people and fun watching for the older folks who bring the kids.
Note: the Toll Road to the top of Mount Mansfield is under repair and will open in early July.

|Round Barn Inn on YouTube
The Inn at the Round Barn is one of my favorite places in Vermont. It's in a beautiful valley a few minutes drive from the village of Waitsfield. It's not only a great place to stay but also the perfect venue for a Vermont country wedding if you're in the market for such a dream event.
Dave Hartshorn, shown in the video, owns a farm and farm stand nearby on Route 100 - - about half way between my inn and the Inn at the Round Barn. He has vegetables, maple syrup, honey, and other goodies on hand most of the summer and early fall. It's worth a stop just to see rural Vermont at work.
I have had the good fortune to sample some of chef Charlie Menard's creations and I am happy to confirm that his work is outstanding.

|Harvest Festival at Shelburne Farm
Shelburne Farms is hosting its 31st Annual Harvest Festival and Energy Fair Saturday, September 19 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. This is a very large event and a great place to take the kids.
There will be about 15 bands performing throughout the day, Spanish Horse demonstration, antique tractors, hands-on cow milking, llamas, wagon rides, wood furniture building demonstrations, puppet making, "bubble magic," cider pressing, face painting, grape vine wreath making, wheat braiding (where else can you learn that?), post and beam demonstration, giant pumpkins, wood bowl making, decoy carving, cheese making and sampling, rug hooking, pellet stove demonstration, solar and wind energy displays, and much, much more. You will have more things to choose than you have time.
Whenever our guests ask us for the best places to visit in Vermont, we always mention Shelburne Farms. It is an amazing facility that Vermont is fortunate to have.
Shelburne Farms is located a few miles south of Burlington VT on Harbor Road.
I highly recommend a visit there anytime.

|Vermont Travel Videos on MSN
MSN has an online video series hosted by Andrew Zimmern in which he travels around the country recording interesting places to visit, usually focused on food. Zimmern was host of the Travel Channel show, "Bizarre Foods" and now hosts Travel Channel's "Bizarre World" in addition to being a chef, writer, and teacher.
Zimmern was recently in my area of Vermont to visit Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, Little River Hotglass Studio, and Cold Hollow Cider Mill. He doesn't just visit though - he gets right into production, creating his own Ben & Jerry's flavor in the test room, blowing a glass jar at Little River Hotglass, and making cider doughnuts at Cold Hollow.
These Appetite for Life. episodes are a good way to get some behind-the-scenes views of popular attractions in Vermont and elsewhere.

Best Of KOTR 2003 & 2004
Before this year's KOTR journey begins, let's look back at the highlights from 2003 and 2004.Posted: August 27, 2013

Before this year's KOTR journey begins, let's look back at the highlights from 2003 and 2004.Posted: August 27, 2013
Birdhouse killed it so hard on KOTR that there was plenty of leftover footage to throw together a rad edit.
Now that another KOTR is in the books check out some of the stats from throughout the years. As seen in the February 2015 mag.
Jamie was on King of the Road with Zero three times and they won it three times. It takes a KOTR legend to comment properly on our February issue.
Not only does the February issue have all the King of the Road madness, but every copy also contains the HELL OF A YEAR DVD. Pick it up now at your local skateshop and if you can't find it there it can also be purchased on our webstore. Congrats to Ben Raybourn for the cover!
Element didn't claim the crown, but Evan Smith took home MVP honors, racking up more points than anyone in KOTR history. All this happened in less than 2 weeks. Trip on that...
Here is where the big points are earned. This has to be the heaviest KOTR to date. Nollie 3-flip fs board? Jesus...
In this final episode, Nyjah continues his handrail assault, Majerus gets sent to the hospital and Clint dies for all his KOTR sins. Winners announced now!
As the teams converge in their final city, Curren battles Fat Bob, Smolik flexes his tech and Nyjah tackles two of the most hectic kinkers you'll ever see. Only one more episode before the winners are announced Saturday night!
Louie grinds a harsh 30, the rocks take revenge on Clint and Nyjah's piggyback ender has to be seen to be believed. New shit, KOTR-style!
Clive swaps spit, Raybourn goes Gou, Nyjah plays with fire and Louie takes it off the top rope as KOTR blazes on!
The shit hits the fan as KOTR reaches Skatopia - pipes, poultry, Peter Smolik and then somebody gets their windshield smashed in. And this is only the halfway point!
Majerus spins rail magic, Raybourn breaks the blunt fakie world's record and Nyjah makes out with himself?! Shit's getting' trippy out there on the KOTR.
Louie Lopez keeps it Cherry, Jaws takes the stank leg next level and Matt Berger boardslides the universe. Heavy duty!
Evan Smith gets a heavy NBD, Nyjah kills the MILF game and Majerus goes for the grind of his life. This KOTR is out of control!
Alec Majerus kills kinkers, Birdhouse joins Team Handsome and Nyjah and the ATL Twins get buck on Atlanta's Cyclops rail.
Episode one was just the beginning. Burger King, babes, buttholes, and much more brutality are a click away.
The hour is upon us! We present KOTR in all of its pee drinking, shit eating, booty twerking, hammer dropping, and point counting glory.
He has the classic tricks wired and can snap them far and wide, but KOTR is a good reminder that The Boss can actually do anything he wants on a skateboard. He's that good.
Tommy is in the KOTR Hall of Fame, for sure. He attacked the "Highest, Longest, Most" challenges and it shows. This edit is so gnarly it could stand out as its own video part.
It feels strange and can be fun for a minute, but skating barefoot is straight-up gnarly and can take you out quick. Here's the best barefoot skating in KOTR history including Grant, Raven, and Jamie Thomas with sick enders.
Lakai or Die. KOTR Blood. Guy does it all. Let's take a look back at his MVP performance from 2012.
KOTR is history but the winners won't be announced until AFTER the webisodes air, starting in November. The teams don't even know! In the meantime, check the best photos and videos from our #thrasherkotr2014 feed.
This year's mystery guests were all featured in the Osiris video, "The Storm". Which one is gonna give their team an edge over the others?
KOTR has begun... and we have the book right here. Take a peek and see what's in store for Element, Birdhouse, and Flip. We may even give YOU the opportunity to complete some challenges...
After dislocating his big toe, Madars Apse has bowed out of the Element KOTR squad to be replaced by handrail heavyweight (and Nyjah's roommate,) Dominick Walker.
Which team is going to take King of the Road in 2014? Check the stats...
Special News Flash! KOTR team members announced!
Birdhouse will be defending their 2013 title against heavweights, Element and Flip, starting Sept. 5th; battling their way East in one of the gnarliest KOTR line-ups yet! Which five skaters should each team bring? Check the poll and cast your votes!
Gary Rogers comes through with breaking news on this year's King of the Road.
Here's a bunch of Midway Point hijinx, Jaws slams, and a legendary LA spot. But most of all, Raybourn's loop is even more impressive when you see his wild attempts.
Here's the Highest, Longest, Most awards. Every KOTR there's weird tricks and funny moments, but this edit shows that some truly incredible skating goes down. Huge thanks to Enjoi, Chocolate, Real and Birdhouse. What a rad year...
If you've been keeping up, then you know these KOTR edits are super gnarly. If you're not up to speed, then start with this one.
More crazy good times and gnarly skating from the '06 and '07 King of the Roads.
Time for a trip down memory lane. 2005 was a good year for KOTR, featuring high level trickery and top shelf hijinx.
Before this year's KOTR journey begins, let's look back at the highlights from 2003 and 2004.
Alien Workshop takes a victory lap with their own edit from last year's King of the Road.
Here's the full KOTR 2011 video (all webisodes, back-to-back) plus an hour of bonus footage. Enjoy the wild ride one more time.
King Of The Road has had a grip of classic makeout scenes. Here's a compilation of all the lip service from past years.

Shady Cove, Ore. -- Nearly 80 residents who oppose a proposed pipeline protested Saturday morning in Shady Cove.
It's known as the Jordan Cove Pacific Connector Liquefied Natural Gas Pipeline or L.N.G.
If approved it would run through parts of Shady Cove.
The pipeline would run 230 miles and proponents promise jobs.
But some protesters believes the project is as much a danger to the environment as it is to people.
The project still needs state and local permits to be approved.

Recipe by bettina
"Fancy taste without all the work. This cake is wonderful for a get together or just a special occasion at home. Using a box cake mix as a base it's a real time saver!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (18.25 ounce) package
moist white cake mix
1 teaspoon
instant coffee powder
1/4 cup
1 tablespoon
coffee flavored liqueur
1 (8 ounce) container
mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup
confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons
coffee flavored liqueur
2 cups
heavy cream
1/4 cup
confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (1 ounce) square
semisweet chocolate
Awesome recipe. Seriously, it inspired awe in those who tasted it.
I just wanted to repost a mascarpone substitute I found in another Tiramisu recipe. It worked wonderfully in this one!
HEIDI8803 posted this in Raspberry Tiramisu, not sure which recipe she got it from:
mascarpone substitute-
2pkgs cream cheese blended with 1/2 c heavy cream and 5 T sour cream
And, to reiterate other advice given by previous reviewers, I too made two of the three cake layers with the instant coffee (I'd've made it three, but the changing colors are beautiful) and I doubled the coffee liquer everywhere it was called for. I think next time I'm going to add chocolate covered coffee beans around the base of the cake.
***Edit*** I've made this a few times now, and learned (the hard way) one big thing on the frosting: It is better to under whip than over. More than five minutes and you risk hitting an icky butter zone. That might be what happened to Nicky. Right at 5 min. works for me. Oh, and believe all the reviews about letting the cake sit overnight. The frosting will set better in that time.
I thought that the cake and the filling recipes were wonderful. But when it was time to make the fristing, it turned out horrible. It was extremely watery and tasted sour. I decided to make a simple cream cheese combination frosting instead; and fortunately my cake was saved and everyone loved it. Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong with the frosting?
1645 Ratings
AMAZING! Make this and you will look like a pro!
My suggestions:
1) use 4x as much instant coffee powder in cake batter, and make 2 layers of coffee flavored cake
2) i followed another reviewer's suggestion for substituting mascarpone with a mix of cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream, and it tastes great and is cheaper
3) you must turn the cake upside down when layering, otherwise coffee liqueur will not soak into it
4) i used kahlua for liqueur
5) I used Duncan Hines supreme white cake mix-it is moist and uses egg whites
6) i used a very strong espresso instead of the coffee to give it more flavor...also, instead of making coffee/espresso, just add water to some of the instant coffee powder, it tastes just fine in the cake
Used 1 cup of coffee and 3T of liqueur. Made it twice this way and it turns out so wonderfly moist and flavorful. Oddly the coffee flavor is still very subtle. The cake layers are so moist with the extra liquid it is best to freeze them before you layer them.This way they will not fall apart when stacking.
Thanks for the excellent recipe! I made this for my father's birthday...he was a professional baker and cake decorator in Europe so the pressure was on. Everyone agreed it was great. The frosting was not overly sweet like some can be. I would, however add more coffee/liquor mixture to the layers next time. I was afraid the cake would taste too "boozy", as there are members of my family that dont drink, but the taste was very subtle. (good for those that dont like the coffee taste) I also made the cake layers days ahead of time and simply froze them, took them out of the freezer and assembled the cake the day before the party. When I sprinkled the cocoa powder on the cake I first carefully placed a paper "lace" doily on the cake top and when removed the cake had the lace pattern on top.
Excellent. To make things easier, I used only 2 pans. I poured half of the cake batter onto 1 deep pan and used a cake slicer to evenly divide it. I followed the instructions to detail afterward. Follow these tips for outstanding results: 1. Instead of mixing the instant coffee into the batter, mix 1/4 cup of water with about 1 tbsp of instant cofee powder and mix into the batter. It tastes like an awesome mocha cake. 2. Also, be generous with the coffee mixture as you're pouring it over your cakes, that way the cake is MOIST. Don't overdo it though! 3. Buy your MASCARPONE CHEESE at Trader Joes or Sams Club (even cheaper)...it's significantly cheaper there than any other grocery store that I went to. Excellent recipe!! thank you.
I thought this cake was great! Following the advice of previous reviews, I make two of the layers with the coffee granulars and one without, doubled the Kahlua everywhere it was called for, and doubled the brewed coffee. I was amazed how fast this came together. Because the layers are so thin they cook and cool very fast. I think I had the whole thing done in under 45 minutes. As a variation, I made this recipe for my husband's birthday and left out all the coffee, kahlua, and coffee granulars and added Chambord to two of the layers, layered sliced strawberries over her marscapone cheese between the cake layers and pressed more slices into the side of the whipped cream frosting. It was very good, like a strawberry shortcake cake.
Absolutely delicious! So easy to make with a beautiful finished outcome. My whole family adored it and I've made it twice so far. One note - if you want luscious chocolate curls don't use a square of baking chocolate. Melt chocolate chips and shortening, refrigerate in a sm. rectangular pan, and shave away. Great recipe!
