In this guide we will change the part of the charger that connect to the computer. you can find this cable on Ebay.
If the broken part is near the transfo, you could easily use the same cord but a bit shorter and you will have to find a way to make a grommet or reuse the old one.

Relevant Parts
The Tools:
A decent welding pen
A wire cutter
A lead vacuum pump
A big heavy duty spudger
A pair of snap-ring pliers installed for external snap-ring. Any long nose would do, this is just perfect for the job if you happen to have a pair :-)
Super glue
1 or 2 pair of small clamps
Open the reeling flaps
Insert the pliers and pry slowly
The flaps will fall
Do the same on the other side
Carefully remove the inside from the shell
You may find the metallic sheeting to break a little, it's ok!
Make sure you note the position of the positive and negative.
I like to start by removing a bit of lead with the pump
Separate the cables, it may require some force, but be careful not to break the board.
The replacement cable should come already soldered
I like to bend it 90 degrees to help insertion
Keeping the flaps in place put the cover on top.
It will be tight, be patient!
Make sure the flaps stays in place.
You might want to wear gloves, since you are manipulating super glue, you might end up with some on your fingers.
Apply and repeat to all your friends victim of faulty cable ;-)

This guide was very helpful in figuring out what needed to be done and how to do it. I don't have access to a lead pump so I ended up removing the old wires and then soldering the new ones on top of the remaining solder. So far it's working just fine!
I wasn't able to open my charger, even when using heat, the pliars as shown here and even a knife. As the damage to my cable was a few inches from the charger I just cut the cord and soldered a new one to the end. Cable looks a bit ratty but you could use white tubing to place over the top.
This guide is great and would definitely use it if possible =)
Thank you guys.. this guide was super helpful, without this I would have to spend 73 box unnecessarily.
Thanks again..
My powersafe adapter(a1436) has broken cable and i want to repair it, do you know how many volts out if you connect the multimeter on the black and white cable? I get 9,77v is that correct?
Great instructions. No solder pump either but so far it is working. $6.50 for parts instead of $40 for a new unit. Thanks very much!
Great guide thanks, I bought my replacement lead on eBay for £5 and it's now working a treat.
One word of warning though, careful where you stick your fingers as I got a couple of zaps of electricity from something inside (yes it was unplugged :)
If you don't have a solder pump / solder sucker then I recommend you buy one before you start, it'd be tricky to clear out the holes on the board without one.
On the smaller 45W adapters, it is virtually impossible to desolder the white cable because the solder joint is hidden behind a capacitor.
Tip: Pull with some force on the white cable with the pliers, it should come out clean without causing damage. It is not soldered directly onto the board, there is a receptacle in between which you can pull the cable out of. You can use this receptacle to solder or clamp in the new cable, too.
(on the 45W) Be careful not to pull too hard on the white cable/clamp - I managed to rip a piece out of the PCB. Fortunately, I had another power adapter (with the same cable issue) lying around.
One point that is missing from this guide:
Partially remove the copper shielding to gain access to the white cable.
Do it on the side that does not have the capacitor lead soldered to it.
Simply peel off the adhesive tape, remove the tab out of the slot and peel up the shielding (it will look like a tent) to gain some space to access the 'white' solder spot. Be careful not to put too much strain onto the electrolytic capacitor's lead.
redwoood -
you need to solder those new leads to the board - that part seems to be missing here
Are you talking about the ends of the cable ?
If it is the case, just strip a little bit no longer than 3/16" of an inch ( like 3mm ) you have to make sure it is not too long; you can see at the step 8, there is no room on the other side of the board.
And heat it to apply soldering on it so it looks like the picture, it is easy to insert and it weld solidly.
Good articel.
I just repaired the power adapter for my friend's MacBook and it's now working perfectly. The case cracking method is inspired! Never would have thought of using a pair of needle nose pliers that way. I hate that cliche about "thinking outside the box" but it truly applies in this case. Thanks.
BTW,this articel is also very usefull.

Sony Details Hacker Attack
Sony Corp. told U.S. lawmakers it found a taunting message left during a recent computer attack, but it still doesn't know who stole personal information from more than 100 million of its online-gaming accounts.
Sony, in a letter to members of Congress released Wednesday, said the hacker or hackers deleted any traces of their attack, which is regarded as one of the biggest data breaches to date.
But Sony said it discovered a file left on its servers called "Anonymous." The contents of that file said "We are Legion," which is the tagline of a loosely affiliated group of Internet vigilantes dubbed Anonymous.
Sony said it had been defending itself from denial-of-service attacks that sought to disrupt its websites at the time intruders stole customers' personal information from its servers.
Anonymous, which attacked the websites of credit-card firms in December, had said it would target Sony in retaliation for a lawsuit the firm brought against a popular hacker, George Hotz. Anonymous took credit for disabling Sony websites but denied involvement in the data breach.
"Whether those who participated in the denial-of-services attacks were conspirators or whether they were simply duped into providing cover for a very clever thief, we may never know," Sony said.
Barrett Brown, a Texas man who said he was affiliated with Anonymous, said there was no evidence the group had engaged in credit-card theft. "There is no reason to believe anyone involved in Anonymous did that," he said.
Since the breach, Sony has been under intense scrutiny and its videogame chief, Kazou Hirai, has been under fire. Adding to the political pressure, New York's attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, Tuesday issued subpoenas to Sony for documents related to its security systems, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Sony's letter to lawmakers was its response to a request from a congressional committee examining data-breach issues.In its letter, Sony said it was the "victim of a very carefully planned, very professional, highly sophisticated criminal cyber attack designed to steal personal and credit card information for illegal purposes."
Sony said it has been working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation since April 22 and it now understands how the breach occurred, but declined to offer details to lawmakers on concerns that hackers could use the information to attack other firms who have networks similar to Sony's.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday during a Senate hearing that the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the Sony data breach, adding that it is "something that we are taking extremely seriously."
The letter said 77 million PlayStation Network accounts were compromised, but Sony on Monday disclosed that an additional 24 million accounts on another videogame network, Sony Online Entertainment, were also affected.
Asked whether it knew who had carried out the attacks, Sony responded with a single word: No.
The company said it has received "no confirmed reports" of the use of consumer credit-card information stolen from the company's servers. The company said 12.3 million credit-card holders had information on its PlayStation Network, including 5.6 million in the U.S.

WACO (March 19, 2014) A Waco man was taken by ambulance Wednesday morning to a local hospital for treatment of burns to his hands he suffered in an apartment fire.
Waco firefighters were sent at 4 a.m. to the 1100 block of North 6th Street where a caller reported an apartment was on fire.
When firefighters arrived they found a mattress inside an apartment that was burning and a man who had suffered what were called minor burns to his hands, Assistant Waco Fire Chief D.C. Yeager said.
The last unit left the scene at about 5 a.m., Yeager said.
The cause of the fire had not been determined but a fire marshal was at the scene investigating the blaze.
Yeager said two people lived in the apartment and both were home at the time the blaze broke out.

BAY MINETTE, Ala. (AP) - A radio station owner has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexually abusing a child under 12.
Circuit Judge Charles C. Partin sentenced Walter John Bowen, of Robertsdale, based on a plea agreement.
The 68-year-old owner of WSNI-AM 1000 and FM 105.9, was accused
of fondling a girl.
The plea agreement meant prosecutors also dropped a second sex abuse case involving another child younger than 12.
Once released, Bowen will have to register as a sex offender.

This has always been a welcome addition to my Mac, but unfortunately Flip4Mac are starting to bundle Microsoft Silverlight with the download, just take a look at the size of the current beta release (22.214.171.124) - 20.6 MB, Silverlight takes up most of that. The inclusion is mentioned in the installer, but it would be ever so easy to miss.

AbstractHigh-sensitivity resonant vibratory microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors are typically vacuum packaged in discreet packages. Wafer-scale vacuum packaging offers size, weight, and cost advantages, and the packages are more shock and vibration tolerant. However, the high internal pressures and leak rates achieved to date through wafer-scale vacuum packaging have rendered this an approach suitable for only the lowest performance devices. For this project, Creare Inc. and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) have teamed to develop an advanced wafer-level packaging approach that offers the extremely low, sustained vacuum levels required for long-term, high-Q operation of navigation grade MEMS inertial sensors. The packaging approach also addresses susceptibility to temperature changes, mechanical vibration, and shock. The basic principles for producing and maintaining extreme vacuum levels, on which this packaging approach is based, have already been demonstrated by JPL in a sealed sensor package. In Phase I, the team will further show the feasibility of the approach at wafer scale by designing a generic sensor package and modeling its performance. In Phase II, the team will demonstrate the package performance using packaged vacuum sensors and an extremely sensitive MEMS gyroscope being developed for military firing control systems.

Skip to comments.Mary: The Ark of the New Covenant
Posted on 02/26/2006 11:29:18 AM PST by NYer
Why do Catholics call Mary the Ark of the New Covenant? Answering that question will take us on a journey through the Old and New Testaments.
For example, Luke wove some marvelous things into his Gospel that only a knowledgeable Jew would have understood a Jew who knew Jewish Scripture and had eyes to see and ears to hear. One of the things he would have understood is typology. So what is typology?
We all know that the Old Testament is full of stories, people, and historical events. A type is a person, thing, or event in the Old Testament that foreshadows something in the New Testament. It is like a taste or a hint of something that will be fulfilled or realized. Types are like pictures that come alive in a new and exciting way when seen through the eyes of Christ's revelation. Typology is the study of these types and their fulfillment. Augustine said that "the Old Testament is the New concealed, but the New Testament is the Old revealed" (Catechizing of the Uninstructed, 4:8).
The idea of typology is not new. In his letter to the Romans, Paul says that Adam was a type of the one who was to come Christ (Rom. 5:14). Early Christians understood that the Old Testament was full of types or pictures that were fulfilled or realized in the New Testament.
Here are a few more examples of biblical typology:
The Ark of the Old Covenant
God loved his people and wanted to be close to them. He chose to do so in a very special way. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says, "The prayer of the people of God flourished in the shadow of the dwelling place of God's presence on earth, the ark of the covenant and the temple, under the guidance of their shepherds, especially King David, and of the prophets" (CCC 2594). God instructed Moses to build a tabernacle surrounded by heavy curtains (cf. Ex. 25-27). Within the tabernacle he was to place an ark made of acacia wood covered with gold inside and out. Within the Ark of the Covenant was placed a golden jar holding the manna, Aaron's rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant (cf. Heb. 9:4).
When the ark was completed, the glory cloud of the Lord (the Shekinah Glory) covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle (Ex. 40:34-35; Num. 9:18, 22). The verb for "to cover" or "to overshadow" and the metaphor of a cloud are used in the Bible to represent the presence and glory of God. The Catechism explains:
In the theophanies of the Old Testament, the cloud, now obscure, now luminous, reveals the living and saving God, while veiling the transcendence of his glory with Moses on Mount Sinai, at the tent of meeting, and during the wandering in the desert, and with Solomon at the dedication of the temple. In the Holy Spirit, Christ fulfills these figures [types]. The Spirit comes upon the Virgin Mary and "overshadows" her, so that she might conceive and give birth to Jesus. On the mountain of Transfiguration, the Spirit in the "cloud came and overshadowed" Jesus, Moses and Elijah, Peter, James and John, and "a voice came out of the cloud, saying, 'This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!"' Finally, the cloud took Jesus out of the sight of the disciples on the day of his Ascension and will reveal him as Son of man in glory on the day of his final coming. The glory of the Lord "overshadowed" the ark and filled the tabernacle (CCC 697).
It's easy to miss the parallel between the Holy Spirit overshadowing the ark and the Holy Spirit overshadowing Mary, between the Ark of the Old Covenant as the dwelling place of God and Mary as the new dwelling place of God.
God was very specific about every exact detail of the ark (Ex. 25-30). It was a place where God himself would dwell (Ex. 25:8). God wanted his words inscribed on stone housed in a perfect container covered with pure gold within and without. How much more would he want his Word Jesus to have a perfect dwelling place! If the only begotten Son were to take up residence in the womb of a human girl, would he not make her flawless?
The Virgin Mary is the living shrine of the Word of God, the Ark of the New and Eternal Covenant. In fact, St. Luke's account of the annunciation of the angel to Mary nicely incorporates the images of the tent of meeting with God in Sinai and of the temple of Zion. Just as the cloud covered the people of God marching in the desert (cf. Num. 10:34; Deut. 33:12; Ps. 91:4) and just as the same cloud, as a sign of the divine mystery present in the midst of Israel, hovered over the Ark of the Covenant (cf. Ex. 40:35), so now the shadow of the Most High envelopes and penetrates the tabernacle of the New Covenant that is the womb of Mary (cf. Luke 1:35) (Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, The Shrine: Memory, Presence and Prophecy of the Living God).
Luke weaves additional parallels into the story of Mary types that could be overlooked if one is unfamiliar with the Old Testament. After Moses died, Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River into the Promised Land. Joshua established the Ark of the Covenant in Shiloh, where it stayed for more than 200 years. One day the Israelites were losing a battle with the Philistines, so they snatched the ark and rushed it to the front lines. The Philistines captured the ark, but it caused them great problems, so they sent it back to Israel (1 Sam. 5:1-6:12).
David went out to retrieve the ark (1 Sam 6:1-2). After a man named Uzzah was struck dead when he touched the ark, David was afraid and said, "How can the ark of the Lord come to me?" He left the ark in the hill country of Judea for three months. David danced and leapt in front of the ark and everyone shouted for joy. The house of Obededom, which had housed the ark, was blessed, and then David took the ark to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 6:9-14).
Compare David and the ark to Luke's account of the Visitation:
In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord" (Luke 1:39-45).
Here are the parallels:
It seems clear that Luke has used typology to reveal something about the place of Mary in salvation history. In the Ark of the Old Covenant, God came to his people with a spiritual presence, but in Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant, God comes to dwell with his people not only spiritually but physically, in the womb of a specially prepared Jewish girl.
The Old Testament tells us that one item was placed inside the Ark of the Old Covenant while in the Sinai wilderness: God told Moses to put the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments inside the ark (Deut. 10:3-5). Hebrews 9:4 informs us that two additional items were placed in the Ark: "a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded." Notice the amazing parallels: In the ark was the law of God inscribed in stone; in Mary's womb was the Word of God in flesh. In the ark was the urn of manna, the bread from heaven that kept God's people alive in the wilderness; in Mary's womb is the Bread of Life come down from heaven that brings eternal life. In the ark was the rod of Aaron, the proof of true priesthood; in Mary's womb is the true priest. In the third century, St. Gregory the Wonder Worker said that Mary is truly an ark "gold within and gold without, and she has received in her womb all the treasures of the sanctuary."
While the apostle John was exiled on the island of Patmos, he wrote something that would have shocked any first-century Jew. The ark of the Old Covenant had been lost for centuries no one had seen it for about 600 years. But in Revelation 11:19, John makes a surprising announcement: "Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple?'
At this point chapter 11 ends and chapter 12 begins. But the Bible was not written with chapter divisions these were added in the twelfth century. When John penned these words, there was no division between chapters 11 and 12; it was a continuing narrative.
What did John say immediately after seeing the Ark of the Covenant in heaven? "And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; she was with child" (Rev. 12:1-2). The woman is Mary, the Ark of the Covenant, revealed by God to John. She was seen bearing the child who would rule the world with a rod of iron (Rev. 12:5). Mary was seen as the ark and as a queen.
But does this passage really refer to Mary? Some say the woman represents Israel or the Church, and certainly she does. John's use of rich symbolism is well known, but it is obvious from the Bible itself that the woman is Mary. The Bible begins with a real man (Adam), a real woman (Eve), and a real serpent (the devil) and it also ends with a real man (Jesus, the Last Adam [1 Cor. 15:45]), a real woman (Mary, the New Eve [Rev. 11:19-12:2]), and a real serpent (the devil of old). All of this was foretold in Genesis 3:15.
John Henry Cardinal Newman wrote about this passage in Revelation:
I would maintain is this, that the Holy Apostle would not have spoken of the Church under this particular image unless there had existed a Blessed Virgin Mary, who was exalted on high and the object of veneration to all the faithful. No one doubts that the "man-child" spoken of is an allusion to our Lord; why then is not "the Woman" an allusion to his mother?
Later in the same chapter we read that the devil went out to persecute the woman's other offspring Christians which certainly seems to indicate that Mary is somehow the mother of the Church (Rev. 12:17).
Even if someone rejects Catholic teaching regarding Mary, he cannot deny that Catholics have scriptural foundations for it. And it is a teaching that has been taught by Christians from ancient times. Here are a few representative quotations from the early Church some written well before the New Testament books were officially compiled into the final New Testament canon.
Athanasius of Alexandria (c. 296-373) was the main defender of the deity of Christ against the second-century heretics. He wrote: "O noble Virgin, truly you are greater than any other greatness. For who is your equal in greatness, O dwelling place of God the Word? To whom among all creatures shall I compare you, O Virgin? You are greater than them all O [Ark of the] Covenant, clothed with purity instead of gold! You are the ark in which is found the golden vessel containing the true manna, that is, the flesh in which divinity resides" (Homily of the Papyrus of Turin).
Gregory the Wonder Worker (c. 213-c. 270) wrote: "Let us chant the melody that has been taught us by the inspired harp of David, and say, 'Arise, O Lord, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy sanctuary.' For the Holy Virgin is in truth an ark, wrought with gold both within and without, that has received the whole treasury of the sanctuary" (Homily on the Annunciation to the Holy Virgin Mary).
The Catechism of the Catholic Church echoes the words from the earliest centuries: "Mary, in whom the Lord himself has just made his dwelling, is the daughter of Zion in person, the Ark of the Covenant, the place where the glory of the Lord dwells. She is 'the dwelling of God . . . with men"' (CCC 2676).
The early Christians taught the same thing that the Catholic Church teaches today about Mary, including her being the Ark of the New Covenant.

Beautiful examples of typology.
Thanks for posting this. I know the thread will be hammered later, but for the moment, I like to savor that image of our Lady filled with the Shekinah.
How amazing.
I see thee, little child in your mother's lap.
In you the impossible has come to be,
Creator enters creation and takes a nap
As mother you did make sings lullaby to thee.
kewl. Mary is awesome.
And you -- fittingly named "ignorant," owe your own scriptural canon to the Catholic church.
When people want to pick on us and we know they are going to be sarcastic, we can say a prayer to our Blessed Mother, and offer up our irritations and pray for their needs.
But the Jewish people pretty much put the Old Testament scriptures together themselves. The septuagint predates the Christian church...and then later, they chose their own canon for their own reasons.
That didn't take long. Do you think this one will last 10 days?
O Heart who knows well
how to love,
as generous as human heart
can be,
channel of God's grace
for this sad world,
ark of the covenant,
who carried within you
the one who created you,
You who offered your love,
Your generous heart
no matter the cost,
the sorrow,
the grief,
or how many swords would pass through
simply because the Lord asked it,
simply because you loved greatly,
Simply because that was you.
Mother of my Lord,
Heaven's brightest rose,
Full of Grace,
Pray for us now, and at the hour of our deaths,
Ah..I don't think so. If you'd have paid attention you'd know I don't find NT writings to be inspired.
But I will concede that you owe the Jews a debt of gratitude for 2/3's of your canon.
This only further demonstrates the degree of your ignorance. The writings of the OT at one time have included more and less of what we now consider canon. The Catholic Church defined what we now have in our Bibles. Protestants -- Luther, Calvin and others -- made additional changes.
So whats your point?
"For example, Luke wove some marvelous things into his Gospel that only a knowledgeable Jew would have understood"
Your post might be better received were it not for the fact that Luke was a Greek, writing in Greek, to a friend in Greece. How would Luke or his friend have the understanding of the Hebrew language which "only a knowledgeable Jew would have understood?"
I always wonder what must motivate someone to post something in the Religion forum when they clearly intend only to insult anyone who holds faith in a Religion.
Is it your assertion then that a fluency in Hebrew is required to understand typology?
By no means. However the article states that these things could have only been understood by a "knowledgeable Jew." Neither Luke or his friend in Greece were "knowledgeable Jews." That is the only point that I am making.
Each week when the offerings are presented, we chant a hymn in which is this phrase .....
Mary's womb became for Me a fertile garden ....
What a beautifu typology!
Last night, on EWTN's program, Fr. Corapi talked about the human holocaust of abortion in which innocent babies are torn from what should be the safest place for them - their mother's womb.
Beautiful poem ... thanks for posting it.
Lol .... they're still going at it on the Protestant thread. This thread may very well fizzle, as a result. I did't post it so much for commentary as to share these symbols with the catholics in the forum.
My pastor is from the East. Each month he hosts a gospel 'soiree' - a casual evening of discussion on the Gospels. Last week he chose a parable from St. Luke which we all read silently to ourselves. He then asked us what stood out. He then reread the parable, dissecting each element as we went along. At a certain phrase he paused, cited it in Koine Greek and then gave us a fuller explanation. Like this article, he pointed out the typology in the parable and reminded us that the Gospels were written for the Jewish people.
Afterwards, I asked him about our Lord's reference to Himself as the "gate". He explained that in Jerusalem, there were many gates to the city. That is where the judges heard disagreements and made rulings. Jesus referred to Himself as the "gate" to symbolize that He is perfect Justice.
Understanding typology in the Gospels, truly opens up Scripture. It moves us backwards in time to when these parables and stories were written. As Father noted, the early christians would gather each week and recall the words of Jesus, trying to put them all into context. This was before the Gospels were written. Like a good joke, it was the most provocative and eventful stories that were eventually recorded in written form. That is why one of the Gospel writers says that if all the words of Jesus were recorded, there would not be enough books to contain them.
Ping to read later
My religious faith was insulted by the article. Is this a Catholic forum or a religious forum?
My religious faith was insulted by the article. Is this a Catholic forum or a religious forum?
St. Luke had a great knowledge of the Septuagint and of things Jewish, which he acquired either as a Jewish proselyte (St. Jerome) or after he became a Christian, through his close intercourse with the Apostles and disciples.
They have never defined what I have in my Tanahk. We didn't adopt 2/3rds of your writings, I believe it was the other way around.
Mary is the blessed Mother and Queen of Heaven and Earth.
How? Explain.
So you intended to improve things by insulting the Roman Catholics? I fail to see any dignity in such an approach.
Is this a Catholic forum or a religious forum?
If it were only a Catholic forum, I wouldn't be allowed to post here.
In context, this can only mean that Luke had acquired knowledge of the Jewish faith. Can that be such an amazing thing? I believe the Bible tells us of such Gentiles in several places.
The empire was full of gentiles who admired and studied the Jewish ways, and are often referred to as God-fearers. A lot of early Christians came from such backgrounds.
What is your religious faith and how exactly was it insulted??
This means that God revealed Himself to the Hebrews first, through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Elias, and the prophets. It doesn't mean that they "regulate" what is Scripture. They don't have a Bible, only part of it. Because of the early Christians and their teachings, the rabbis of the late First Century/early Second Century A.D. finally decided what their "canon" of Scripture was, and they "conveniently" left out the part of the Old Testament that support resurrection of the dead, among other things.
You should be on the thread that's been going on for 10 days. The same arguments and misconceptions, the same refutations. The same disagreements about interpretation. Another day, another round.
Thank you for this article...I was not born to Catholic parents, was never a Catholic...always was a Protestant..and yet, over the years, have come to doubt very much, that various Protestant religions actually have the whole truth within them, as they all have so many different and wildly varying beliefs...
I have long fought myself internally, regarding the Catholic religion...never did buy into the arguments that because they were supposedly around from the beginning of Christianity, and that their history, and traditions, and early church fathers, had more knowledge and more authority to speak about the truth of what the Bible said...
And yet...over the years, I have found myself drawn more and more to the Catholic faith... for a wide variety of reasons....one of those reasons, is that altho I do not participate in any of the religious threads on FR, I do manage to read almost all of them, and contemplate what is said in these threads, and pray over what I have read...
Without saying anything negative about any posters, or their postings, I will dwell on the positive...which is, that the Catholic posters, have brought forward a wealth of information, a wealth of historical information, and absolutely clear and stunning arguments and discussions for defending and supporting their faith....I am truly in awe of the Catholics who come here, and really, against some absolutely awful things being said about them, and to them, remain thoughtful, reverent, and willing to assist any and all who ask for help in understanding...
I have no doubt at this point in my life, that my further study into the Catholic religion is the direction that I should be taking...its just clearly apparent to me, that indeed, it is the Catholic religion which does hold within it, the Truth...and this is something that even just a few years ago, I would have never dreamed of saying...
So thanks to all those Catholics on these threads, who through their own diligent perseverance when under attack, are able to remain patient, helpful, and most of all, civil...and so very willing to share so much of their beliefs, their history, and their traditions...I think its their faith, in action...
So thanks to all, who have been effective evangelizers for the Catholic faith...perhaps one day, I shall be able to count myself among you...
"So thanks to all, who have been effective evangelizers for the Catholic faith...perhaps one day, I shall be able to count myself among you..."
Wonderful post! Lent is coming up, starting on Wednesday: perhaps you can journey with us as we anticipate Christ's most glorious Death and Resurrection, and use it as a time to learn more about the Faith.
Thank you...It would be a worthwhile journey, beginning on Wed...I will be sure to read everyones comments...and pray that they lead me closer to what I have been searching for...
***What is your religious faith and how exactly was it insulted??***
This guy (Invincibly Ignorant)started pulling this on some of the threads I was posting on.
A search of his earlier posts to other threads shows he was a Christian who claims to have converted to Judaism.
Here is what he said on another thread...

This protestant coverted to Judaism. :-)****
So, Mr. Ignorant, I will ask you the same question I have asked before and you never answer...
What sin did Israel commit that was so bad that the jewish people have been without a temple or sacrifice for almost 2000 years?
some of you as yourself, are so nice in replying to others who's' understandings are different, when discussing a point of view and some throw verbal acid!
As lurker on the last thread I could not help but to respond and point out how testy many were over something that seem fraction of a hair of differences!
Discussions and exchange is nice it can cause one to think and learn or understand each other!
The Catholic Church defined what we now have in our Bibles. Protestants -- Luther, Calvin and others -- made additional changes.
How can you say that there are millions who say the Bible is infallible?
Many here on this forum have said that over and over through the years!
You your sefl might have said it!
Low blood sugar!
I always thought it had something to do with lithium, but you just never know.
My point is some can be nice when having a discussion and others are very difficult of not taking on to return in kind!
Some times one can get caught up and before they know it instead of a discussion and exchanging points of view it become a free for all and very unpleasant!
some of these folks can be downright mean and insulting!
NYer Awesome post!
May Our Lady Queen of the Angels send Michael the Archangel to aid you in battle. If She hasnt already, you do appear to be tireless in your defense of the faith.
Exactly. We can learn from each other, politely and lovingly or we can play mean games, which does little good, IMHO. Most of us are pretty solid in what we believe. We know why we believe what we believe. In our discussions, it can be useful to explain to others why we have come to the conclusions we have, but after a point, we have to agree to disagree or start bashing each other with verbal planks. What good does it do to bash each other?
IMHO, of course.
Excellent post. Thanks!

About Sophie Theroux
I am a visual artist seeking to evoke a new perspective on the world through my art. In transforming material objects from the physical world, based off of conscious and unconscious thought, I am pursuing my own personal passions, the goal being an individual and ultimate understanding of my relationship to the natural world, an understanding which we all seek. As an artist having grown up in the beautiful Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts, my works have been deeply influenced by the natural landscapes provided in abundance within this region. It is important that we learn to appreciate and have a relationship with our environment and I hope to help do this with my landscape works. I am also interested in surrealism and the idea that art can become an access way to more subconscious ideas, opinions and emotions, which we can so easily forget to acknowledge in the fast-paced world we live in.
Sophie Theroux does not have any images in this favorites collection.

I'm a bit new to wordpress manipulation and there is one particular thing that I've been trying to do. As simple and common as it seems to me, I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a template (called Emplode). The navigation is horizontal, at the top, below the banner. What I want to do is take my post page link, and instead of it being normally the home page, listed first (on the left), instead have a static page (to be called "home) there instead, and have the post page be second after it.
At one point during attempting to accomplish this, I realized I couldn't even make another page as the "home" page in the Read Settings becuase it would redirect the blog post page to whatever I had set as "home" in those settings.
At one point I tried to take index.php in the theme, apply a certain php script at the top of it, save it separately as a template (named blog.php), and in that way, re-create the post loop in a static page, but for some reason, it won't work. All it will make is an empty static page. Is there something here I am missing?
If all this is not to work, is there a simple way or a plugin out there I could use to re-create the post loop inside another page and disable the original post page? Or is there something really simple and basic that I've overlooked to do this?

Not that I'm not in favor of SAM hiring a full-time conservator, but what does it say about the museum that they apparently don't have to worry about preserving digital art?

The event is scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m. and last until 12:30 p.m.
Officials say Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, members of the Sea Gals, Blue Thunder, Blitz and Seahawks alumni will appear in addition to a live performance by the top 40 cover band, Curb Appeal.
Seahawks Alumni to be in attendance include Paul Johns, Norm Johnson, Robbie Tobeck, and Alex Bannister.
The team says immediately following the rally, the Space Needle is calling all Seahawks fans to participate in the "From the Needle to New Jersey" flag signing and relay.
The 25-foot by 35-foot '12' flag that has been flown atop the Space Needle for every playoff run that the team has made in recent years will be put on display for all Seahawks fans to sign their well wishes to the team from 12:30-3:30 p.m.
That flag will be sent off to New Jersey and delivered in time to present to the Seahawks for the Super Bowl. (Don't worry -- they'll put a replacement '12' flag back atop the Needle.) You can follow the flag's journey at #NeedletoNJ.
Seattle Center will provide free monorail rides from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for all fans dressed in Seahawks apparel.

Hopefully you don't eat as much fast food as you used to. Maybe you've given it up entirely. If anything, you've probably given up the really heinous stuff, you know, like Arby's.

April 30th, 2014 | by Jill Ettinger
When Chipotle added vegan sofritos to its menu, that was pretty yummy news (as was its recent announcement that its menu is now mostly GMO-free, too). But the chain still serves meat. It pretty much means you have to grab your vegan sofritos or black bean burrito and hightail it out of the restaurant to avoid watching people chow down on chicken, pork and beef, save you ruin your appetite.

Re: Sales have died! Even worseTori_Scott Sep 23, 2013 1:35 PM (in response to LearningIsland)
What sales I've had keep disappearing. $21 in one day, gone. $30 another day, gone. Emailed support and was told I didn't know what I was talking about, they are right, I'm wrong. Don't they realize we obsessively check our sales multiple times a day, so we know when sales disappear and money doesn't get added to our account?
Re: Sales have died! Even worsedmnelson Sep 24, 2013 6:33 AM (in response to LearningIsland)
I fear some of the problems arose when news came of B&N's fiscal troubles. I'm sure Nook sales have tumbled which correlates to sales tumbling. However that does not explain the disappearing sales. I will be in deep trouble if my only outlet is Amazon.

Although electrical discharge machining is essentially a material removal process, efforts have been made in the recent past to use it as a surface treatment method. An additive powder in the dielectric medium affects the sparking action and helps in improving the surface properties. It may melt at the high temperature of the plasma channel and alloy with the machined surface under appropriate machining conditions. Breakdown of the hydrocarbon dielectric contributes carbon to the plasma channel. In this paper, changes in surface properties of oil-hardening non-shrinkable die steel after machining with manganese powder suspended in kerosene dielectric medium have been investigated. Results show improvement in microhardness by 73%, and no microcracks on the machined surface. X-ray diffraction analysis of the machined surfaces reveals the transfer of manganese and carbon from the plasma channel in the form of manganese carbide. Quantitative analysis of chemical composition by optical emission spectrometer confirms significant increase in the percentages of manganese and carbon.

The 2015 Francine Page Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to adjunct faculty member Marc Nadel in the Division of Communication and Creative Media. As an instructor at Champlain College for the past twelve years, Marc Nadel has been sharing information gathered during his lifelong experience as an illustrator, painter, and cartoonist.
Marc has developed several courses in the traditional arts that support and enrich the digital art classes of our students. The first course, Oil Painting, was offered in 2010, and was developed in partnership with Bob Selby. Then, in rapid succession, came Sequential Art, Painting Other Worlds, and an Advanced Art History class in Book Illustration. All courses combine lessons in art history with the creative activities. To expand one's aesthetic range and knowledge by learning from the masters remains the concept at the heart of all of the courses. Sequential Art, for instance, ties in the history of the comic strip and book in America with the immigrant experience over the last 115 years. It was, in fact, the immigrants themselves who were the creators, turning fear and hatred into smiles and eventual acceptance. Painting Other Worlds introduces this new generation of artists to the innovative work of the generations of European painters lost to the ravages of the two World Wars. In his other courses, such as Introductory Drawing, Anatomy and Perspective, and Art History, the same approach remains integral to his teaching methods. Marc believes that the best evidence of his success is his ongoing role as a mentor to several alumni, long after their graduation from Champlain.
On the professional front, Marc's artwork has been published by Highlights for Children, Harcourt, Random House, Business Week, Boyd's Mills Press, The Nation, Seven Days, and many others. He has won several illustration awards, including The One Award for The Best Political Advertisement, and The Distinguished Achievement Award from the Educational Press Association for his "Top Secret Adventures" series. He illustrated "Carl Sandburg: Adventures of a Poet," which garnered rave reviews, as did "Another Jar of Tiny Stars," featuring Marc's portraits of poets. His illustrations for children and his caricatures continue to be seen in books and magazines.
After studying at Brooklyn College, The School of Visual Arts, and The New School, Marc began his most important and extensive artistic education. Upon graduation, he was invited to join The Painting Group in New York City by David Levine. His studies with David and Aaron Shikler continued weekly for nearly twenty years, when Marc moved to Vermont. His association with that prestigious studio continues to this day, and Marc draws on that unique foundation to enrich the artistic lives of his students at Champlain College.
"He is an integral part of the Creative Media, Game Art & Animation program development and regularly participates in faculty meetings and year end collaborative. All of which led many to assume that he was a full-time faculty. We are lucky to have this individual as part of our Champlain community and students benefit greatly from his gifts and extensive background as a professional artist and illustrator," said Provost Quinn.

Amazon.com Review
Originating as an article in Wired magazine, the optimistic scenario envisioned by authors Peter Schwartz (chairman of a combination think tank and consulting firm), Peter Leyden (a technology, economics, and political journalist), and Joel Hyatt (a Stanford entrepreneurship professor who cofounded the legal-services firm bearing his name) integrates existing and potential technological advancements, financial developments, political upheavals, and social movements. Among its predictions are a formulation of a "glass pipeline" that seamlessly tracks manufacturing and production processes, creation of a volunteer Global Corps to aid developing nations, the dawning of a true Space Age, and the birth of a unified worldwide society with "well-off people who share certain values that are transcending borders." The account is highly recommended to everyone concerned with, yet hopeful about, the future. --Howard Rothman

|Fast Break: Celtics suffer overtime loss to Lakers
|02.09.12 at 10:51 pm ET
Paul Pierce's fadeaway jumper missed the mark and Ray Allen's put-back got blocked as the Celtics suffered a heartbreaking overtime loss to the Lakers, 88-87.
The entire OT was a struggle for both teams, so an Andrew Bynum tip-in with 1:29 to play proved the difference. The Lakers outscored the Celtics 6-5 in the extra period.
With a little more than a minute remaining in regulation and the Celtics trailing by one, Allen converted his second 3-pointer of the night to give the Celtics an 82-80 lead as "Beat L.A." chants rained down from the Garden rafters. But Pau Gasol tied the game with nine seconds remaining, and the final Celtics play before overtime resulted in a wild, failed 30-footer by Mickael PIetrus.
Gasol (25 points, 14 rebounds) and Andrew Bynum (16 points, 17 rebounds) both registered double-doubles, and Kobe Bryant added 27 points for the Lakers (15-11).
Allen's 22 points led the Celtics (14-11) in scoring, Kevin Garnett (12 points, 12 rebounds) recorded a double-double, and Pierce and Rajon Rondo combined for 32 points and 14 assists. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the C's.
Spry Bynum: Jermaine O'Neal and the other veteran Boston bigs had trouble with Lakers 24-year-old center Andrew Bynum's youth and athleticism. A healthy Bynum is a dangerous Bynum, as the 7-footer nearly had a double-double by halftime. In fact, Doc Rivers turned to Chris Wilcox for a stretch — his first extended minutes with the Big Four.
Board room: Along similar lines, the Lakers size exploited an issue that's plagued the Celtics this season — namely, rebounding. Bynum, Gasol and old friend Troy Murphy of all people corralled 40 rebounds as the Lakers out-boarded the Celtics, 55-45. Uncharacteristically, Rondo didn't record a rebound until there was three minutes to play.
Backing up the point: With Keyon Dooling still sidelined and a suited up Avery Bradley considered doubtful before the game, Rivers could only turn to E'Twaun Moore for backup point guard minutes behind Rondo. Moore played four first-half minutes and registered a minus-8, so the Celtics had no choice but to play Rondo 40-plus minutes.
|Duke's Austin Rivers hits buzzer beater against UNC
|at 9:10 am ET
I'm not sure what's better: The deadeye 3-pointer Duke freshman Austin Rivers made against rival North Carolina to beat the buzzer or Doc's reaction. Now, the coach's Celtics host the Lakers. A good week for the Rivers family.
|VIDEO: The night Paul Pierce passed Larry Bird for No. 2 on the Celtics all-time scoring list
|02.08.12 at 1:11 pm ET
|Paul Pierce vs. John Havlicek according to Paul Silas
|at 12:45 am ET
BOSTON — On the night Celtics captain Paul Pierce surpassed Larry Bird for No. 2 on the team's all-time scoring list behind John Havlicek, one of Hondo's former teammates happened to be on the opposing bench.
While Pierce and Havlicek now rank 1-2 among C's career points leaders, Bobcats head coach Paul Silas — who won two NBA titles in four seasons on the Celtics from 1972-76 — knows they took different paths to get there.
"Theyr'e kind of different players," said Silas. "Havlicek was just very aggressive, running all the time. He'd get up and down the floor, ran and banked shots off the board. Pierce is more of a guy going 1-on-1. Havlicek didn't do that. And Pierce is more of a long-range shooter. Havlicek could shoot long-range, but that wasn't really his game."
|Fast Break: Pierce, Celtics take down Bird, Bobcats
|02.07.12 at 9:47 pm ET
BOSTON — All went according to plan for the Celtics in a 94-84 defeat of the Bobcats. Captain Paul Pierce climbed another rung on the team's all-time scoring list, passing Larry Bird for No. 2 behind John Havlicek, and the C's picked up their season-best fifth straight victory and ninth win in their last 10 in the process.
PIerce amassed 15 points, nine assists and eight rebounds as the Celtics (14-10) reached four games over .500 for the first time this season. The remaining Big Four and Brandon Bass (13 points) all reached double figures as well (Kevin Garnett 22, Ray Allen 17 and Rajon Rondo 10).
UConn's Kemba Walker totaled 16 points and seven rebounds in defeat for the lowly Bobcats (3-22).
A Bird in hand: With 10:22 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday night's game against the Bobcats, Pierce passed Larry Bird for No. 2 on the team's all-time scoring list. After 13-plus seasons in a Celtics uniform, the 34-year-old Pierce entered the game needing just nine points to tie (and 10 to pass) Bird, who finished his 13-year career with 21,791 points. After scoring seven first-half points to close within two of Larry Legend, The Truth made his fourth 3-point attempt to clip Bird's wings.
KG's hot start: Garnett made four of his first five field goal attempts and reached double figures by halftime. He even attempted another 3-pointer, which he missed (But he can shoot 3s, Ok!). Rivers has been on KG all season to assert himself into the offense more regularly, and Garnett did just that — leading all Celtics scorers with 22 points on 10-of-15 shooting to go along with seven boards.
Rounding into form: For much of the season, somebody in the Celtics nine-man rotation (the starters plus Bass, Mickael Pietrus, Chris Wilcox and Avery Bradley) has either been sidelined or still recovering from injury. Not so against the Bobcats. All played, and all — with the possible exception of Wilcox — played admirably. Five of the nine reached double figures, Rondo recorded double-digit assists for the third consecutive night, O'Neal grabbed eight rebounds and Bradley made both of his field goals while playing his usual pesky defense and spelling Rondo for the entire fourth quarter. The C's are hitting their stride.
|Larry Bird on Danny Ainge's willingness to trade Celtics greats, the death of Len Bias and his love for Kobe Bryant
|at 1:31 pm ET
By now, you've heard Celtics president Danny Ainge's version of the trades Red Auerbach supposedly turned down for Larry Bird and Kevin McHale in the twilight of their careers — and how it relates to the current Big Three's trade availability.
The story goes that the Pacers offered Chuck Person, Herb Williams and Steve Stipanovich in exchange for Bird while the Mavericks proposed a deal for McHale involving Detlef Schrempf and Sam Perkins. According to Ainge, Auerbach refused both.
But, in an interview with Grantland's Bill Simmons on the B.S. Report, Bird remembers it differently.
"I was there with Danny and Red and McHale the day we were talking about that," Bird told Simmons. "The one thing that Danny threw in there was players' names. The whole time I was in Boston I never heard Red mention any other players on other teams. I heard him talking about draft picks, but I never heard anything about, 'Larry, I can trade you for this, this and this.' He just never did that."
|Where does Paul Pierce rank among Celtics greats?
|02.06.12 at 9:06 am ET
On the verge of surpassing Larry Bird for second on the Celtics career scoring list, Paul Pierce only further cements his status as one of the storied franchise's all-time greats — his No. 34 already reserved in the rafters.
How far Pierce climbs that ladder remains to be seen. Even when he surpasses Larry Legend's 21,791 career total with 10 more points, it's hard to argue Pierce soars past Bird, but where does he rank if he retired today?
'It's nothing I ever really think about,' said Pierce. 'I never go into the season trying to break records. They're going to happen if they happen. Just to be mentioned among the great Celtics of the past is just an honor.'
As soon as seven years ago — in the aftermath of Pierce's infamous jersey-swinging, head-wrapping ejection from Game 6 of a playoff series — this thought seemed utterly insane: The Truth is one of the top five C's in history.
Still don't believe it? Just examine the resumes of the best quintet ever to call the Garden home.

Ashley Greene
Ashley Greene in J Brand
Ashley Greene has been keeping a low profile these days, perhaps resting up for the upcoming craziness of the first installment of Twilight: Breaking Dawn. Enjoying her downtime, Ashley grabbed lunch at The Tavern restaurant.
I feel like we only see Ashley in 2 outfits, work out clothes or jeans and boots. This time, Ashley wore her boots with a pair of J Brand skinny jeans and a striped shirt. You can buy J Brand jeans online at Jbrandjeans.com.
Who Wore It Best: Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans
I've mentioned a few times on the blog before how much I love Rag & Bone's skinny jeans. It seems as though I'm not the only one, as the brand is becoming increasingly popular with celebrities. From dark washes to colored styles, tons of celebrities are wearing the brand.
Khloe Kardashian wore a black pair with all black and a bright yellow Hermes bag. Liv Tyler wore a blue pair with a simple tee and sneakers. Hilary Duff wears her dark wash denim pair with red heels and a sweater, Emma Stone also paired hers with heels. Eva Longoria wore her white pair with pops of orange. Both Charlize Theron and Miranda Kerr chose to dress theirs down with flats and dark tees. Christie Brinkley, LeAnn Rimes and Sarah Jessica Parker have all dressed their colored versions up with a variety of bold accessories while Malin Ackerman and Ashley Greene wore their colored pairs with black accessories.
You can view all of the Who Wore It Best posts here.
Ashley Greene in James Jeans
Ashley Greene stopped and posed for some photos at the Summit Entertainment Comic-Con Party in San Diego, California. She wore a pair of the James Twiggy Leggings in Kohl. These are an amazing fit on Ashley. Actually Ashley's body is looking quite amazing itself. Those workouts are really doing her good.
Another thing that I love about these jeans is the wash. I love the faded blue/black wash of them. They are a wash that you are unsure about what to pair with them, but then you wear them with everything. It's kind of a confusing description of them. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $141.
Ashley Greene in Blank NYC
Twilight star, Ashley Greene, was seen out and about running some errands in Beverly Hills, California a few days ago. She looked so chic and stylish in her colour block outfit of black and red!
Ashley chose a pair of Blank NYC Spray On skinny jeans in Fire Dept with black heels, a black long sleeved top and some sunglasses. I really love this look on her, the black and red works so well. I think the material of these jeans does look a little bit on the thin side though! Buy these jeans at Karmaloop for $74.

Girls Fashion Recap: Getting to Know Them
Subtle style cues give insight into the minds of Hannah, Marnie, Jessa, and Shoshanna.
HBO's new show Girls premiered last night, and the costumes were just as gritty (and at times unglamorous) as promised. Hannah kicked off the episode at dinner with her parents in a vintage dress — a perfect nod to the way certain Brooklyn girls "dress up" like versions of their moms from the eighties. She then goes to sleep with her roommate, Marnie, both in T-shirts, while we endure the omnipresence of Marnie's cardigan-clad boyfriend. Bohemian Jessa arrives straight from a Parisian adventure on the doorstep of her pink tracksuit-wearing cousin Shoshanna, telling us everything we need to know about the differences between them. Worst of all (but most hilariously), we suffer through Hannah's humiliation while she lies face-down on a couch, trying to remove her tights before her love interest returns with the lube. Click through our slideshow for a scene-by-scene analysis of each look.BEGIN SLIDESHOW
