Everything will fall, fall right into place

I'm trying to style my XML with XSL and then spit it out as html using REXML and Ruby-XSLT... problem being, I can't seem to open up my files.
This is my model:
code: def self.find_blog_posts
require "net/http"
require "net/https"
require "rubygems"
require "rexml/document"
require "xml/xslt"
include REXML
doc = XML::XSLT.new()
doc.xml = REXML::Document.new File.new("/blog.xml")
doc.xsl = REXML::Document.new File.new("/blox.xsl")
@slider_content = xslt.serve()
end
code:>> Home.find_blog_posts
Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /blog.xml
from /Users/copla/project/app/models/home.rb:52:in `initialize'
from /Users/copla/project/app/models/home.rb:52:in `new'
from /Users/copla/project/app/models/home.rb:52:in `find_blog_posts'
from (irb):1
How exactly are you supposed to open a file in public from model?

You don't want to do that. Not in the model, at least. The entire point of splitting your code into model, view, and controller is to keep your logic separate from your presentation. The public folder is for the web layer, so if you open files from public in your model, that means that when you modify the presentation layer, you'll have to worry about not accidentally screwing up the internals of the application.
Then I can work on pulling down the XML and somehow saving it, as it comes in as pure text, so it would need to have a declaration added at the beginning, then I can transform that, in turn, with the XSL. And THEN I can hopefully get it so that all of it happens serverside, updated hourly, and cached.
But... now I need to open up the local file so I can test the first step.
