MacBook doesn't start on AC
Hi there,
my 2Ghz C2D Macbook doesn't start anymore. What happend is that my charger imploded during the charging process of the Macbook.
What I tried:
AC Yes / Battery No / Macbook => No :-(
AC No / Battery Yes / Macbook => Yes :-) / Charging => No :-(
AC Yes / Battery Yes / Macbook => Yes :-) / Charging => No :-(
What could be the problem? Logicboard? Megasafe Board? another connection?
UPDATE(!): Changed the Magsafe Board. Now it does work connected to AC or to a charged battery. But still not charging. So. I either use it on AC or on battery. But can't get the battery charged. Suggestions?
Edited by: machead3 and oldturkey03 ( ) , Memo ( )
Did you replace the MagSafe adapter. Please explain this implosion
Didn't do anything till now. Should I try changing the adapter first? Implosion: My original Apple charger was broke and I bought several months ago another one on amazon for 29 EUR (non-apple). It worked well until 2 days ago. I plugged it in but the light didn't went amber. So I looked more carefully and recodnised that the charger looked weired (One black cable was looking out). I played with it (still plugged into AC and Macbook) and it just imploded (*bzzz* - *boom*). After calming down I went back to the macbook (I did jump to the other site of the room, after the *boom*) and checked if it started. But my battery was empty so I couldn't test it. Until today. I went to the apple service and tested it there.
I can't tell if you're talking about the MagSafe adapter or your MacBook. What was the result of your visit to Apple? Did they test the adapter? Did they test the Book?
First they connected the macbook with a charging cable and removed the battery. Macbook didn't start and no light indication. After that a fully charged battery was inserted and the Macbook unplugged from the charging cable. Macbook started as usual. Works. But OSX says Battery at 0%. Charging cable plugged in and no light indication. Macbook still runs on battery.

It sounds like you fried the MagSafe board. Here's how to replace it: MacBook Core 2 Duo Magsafe Board Replacement
You might also want to replace the AC adapter with an original Apple product as the knock offs are not to good sometimes.
Here's the part: MacBook MagSafe DC-In Board
Connects wall adapter power to logic board. Compatible with all 13.3" MacBooks (excluding MacBook Unibody and MacBook Air). Black and white options available. — 50+ available at 19.95 each.
OK. Thanks. The Guy at Apple told the same thing. He said: "It might be the Megasafe Board with 90% chance. If not, it is the Logicboard." So. I found this piece on eBay for about 10$, but I wanted to support you guys. So I bought it from ifixit. You deserve it. But I have to wait for the delivery :-( Since I'm in the good old Germany, it takes time... :-( The Apple guy said they had some of them on stock but don't sell pieces. He wanted 150 EUR (including everything) for it. Too much for a student.
$150 Euros for a MagSafe board? Did he have a gun in his hand? This guy is a thief. By the way, most of that answer questions do not work for iFixit. We just do this to try to help people. You can click on our icons to see who and where we are ;-) If you need someone close to home, one of our best and respected contributors is remacberlin: http://www.ifixit.com/User/228455/remacb... Check him out!
Yes. 150 EUR. He said this includes the Megasafe Board itself and the assembly. They are always this expensive if you don't have guarantee anymore.
This is more than double what I do the same repair for. I'm sure Apple does not know how much this guy is charging. Again contact remacberlin to help you find a good repair place, or just ask him how much he charged for this repair.
Don't know if Apple is aware of this. But next time I will check this site first :-) My part is dispatched and arrives in 2-3 weeks. I will report if "I fixed it" or not. Thanks guys.
Look to see if any of the pins on the magsafe connector are bent, and try a new power plug (an apple one not a 3rd party!) before going in and replacing the board.
Let's see if I've got this correct> You want him to try to repair the pins on the adapter that blew up?
Sorry Mayer, I meant the magsafe plug on the mac, I was under the impression the charger had exploded, not the board. I prefer trying the easy fixes before opening the machine- and not using 3rd party products for important things like power.
Dust - thanks for the response. What pins on the MagSafe board? My thought is that the bad adapter fried the magSafe board. There are male pins on the adapter and basically receptacles on the board. Can you clarify?
I checked. The megasafe connection pins at the macbook are okay. And believe me, I will no more buy any 3rd party products for my Apple stuff. Even if they are overpriced. Think I had luck it didn't burn my logicboard. Thanks for the response.
Changed the Magsafe Board. Now it does work connected to AC or to a charged battery. But still not charging. So. I either use it on AC or on battery. But can't get the battery charged. Suggestions?
That is too many times since your last post. What you did? Have you fix all of your problems?

My music education began at age 8 when, after a year of pestering my parents, I got my first guitar. My self-taught forays began casually at first, until I was introduced to the likes of Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton (the Cream years) and then later, Frank Marino, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, and Allan Holdsworth. By age 15, it was "all about the guitar: eat-sleep-school-guitar," with many countless hours burning the midnight oil, deciphering the solos of my heroes. I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area after high school and began studying guitar under the mentor-ship of virtuoso Marc Bonilla (who has worked with such luminaries as Ronnie Montrose, Derek Sherinian, Keith Emerson of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple). Bonilla has since moved to L.A. to pursue an ...

Article: Sexual Identity, Partner Gender, and Sexual Health Among Adolescent Girls in the United States[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives. We examined associations between adolescent girls' sexual identity and the gender of their sexual partners, on one hand, and their reports of sexual health behaviors and reproductive health outcomes, on the other. Methods. We analyzed weighted data from pooled Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (2005 and 2007) representative of 13 US jurisdictions, focusing on sexually experienced girls in 8th through 12th grade (weighted n = 6879.56). We used logistic regression with hierarchical linear modeling to examine the strength of associations between reports about sexual orientation and sexual and reproductive health. Results. Sexual minority girls consistently reported riskier behaviors than did other girls. Lesbian girls' reports of risky sexual behaviors (e.g., sex under the influence of drugs or alcohol) and negative reproductive health outcomes (e.g., pregnancy) were similar to those of bisexual girls. Partner gender and sexual identity were similarly strong predictors of all of the sexual behaviors and reproductive health outcomes we examined. Conclusions. Many sexual minority girls, whether categorized according to sexual identity or partner gender, are vulnerable to sexual and reproductive health risks. Attention to these risks is needed to help sexual minority girls receive necessary services. (Am J Public Health.

Article: Sexual Orientation and Sexual and Reproductive Health Among Adolescent Young Women in the United States[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We studied sexual and reproductive health among self-identified bisexual, lesbian, and heterosexual adolescent young women. Prior research has suggested that bisexual and lesbian young women may be at greater risk for many negative health outcomes, including risky sexual and reproductive health behavior. Using data from the U.S. nationally representative 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), we examined sexual and reproductive health among young women 15-20 years of age as a function of sexual orientation. We used logistic regression and ANCOVA to examine differences in sexual and reproductive health across groups while controlling for demographic group differences. Bisexual and lesbian young women reported elevated sexual and reproductive health risks. Bisexual and lesbian participants reported being younger at heterosexual sexual debut, and having more male and female sexual partners, than did heterosexual participants. Further, they were more likely than heterosexual young women to report having been forced to have sex by a male partner. Bisexual young women reported the earliest sexual debut, highest numbers of male partners, greatest use of emergency contraception, and highest frequency of pregnancy termination. Overall, sexual minority young women-especially those who identified as bisexual-were at higher sexual and reproductive risk than their heterosexual peers.Journal of Adolescent Health 10/2013; 54(2).

ABSTRACT: Large numbers of infants and toddlers have parents who live apart due to separation, divorce, or nonmarital/noncohabiting childbearing, yet this important topic, especially the controversial issue of frequent overnights with nonresidential parents, is understudied. The authors analyzed data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a longitudinal investigation of children born to primarily low-income, racial/ethnic minority parents that is representative of 20 U.S. cities with populations over 200,000. Among young children whose parents lived apart, 6.9% of infants (birth to age 1) and 5.3% of toddlers (ages 1 to 3) spent an average of at least 1 overnight per week with their nonresident parent. An additional 6.8% of toddlers spent 35%–70% of overnights with nonresident parents. Frequent overnights were significantly associated with attachment insecurity among infants, but the relationship was less clear for toddlers. Attachment insecurity predicted adjustment problems at ages 3 and 5, but frequent overnights were not directly linked with adjustment problems at older ages.Journal of Marriage and Family 08/2013; 75(4).

ABSTRACT: What factors are associated with relationship quality among lesbian mothers in planned families? The purpose of this Internet-based study was to examine correlates of relationship quality among same-sex female couples with children. Participants in this cross-sectional study included 134 mothers who self-identified as lesbian and who currently reside in the United States. All participants were in a committed relationship with another woman, had created families within that relationship, had at least one child under the age of 18 residing in their home, and only one partner from each couple participated. Results indicated that younger maternal age, greater familial social support, less job-family role strain, and more positive sexual identity were related to greater self-reported relationship quality. In addition, mothers who reported greater internal homonegativity and greater sexual identity confusion also reported being more dissatisfied with their current romantic relationship.Journal of GLBT Family Studies 07/2013; 9(4):346-363.

Article: Social Climate for Sexual Minorities Predicts Well-Being Among Heterosexual Offspring of Lesbian and Gay Parents[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Social climate—specifically, the level of support for sexual minorities in a given locale—helps to explain well-being among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals. No published reports have examined whether well-being also varies as a function of social climate for family members of LGB individuals. We present results from two studies (Study 1, n = 69; Study 2, n = 70) demonstrating that social climate predicts well-being among adults reared by LGB parents, regardless of their own sexual orientation. Across both studies, population characteristics (e.g., density of same-sex couples in an area) emerged as the strongest and most consistent predictors of well-being. Some variables assessing local politics (e.g., LGB hate crime policy) also predicted well-being, though these associations were less robust. Overall, findings suggest that the social environment for sexual minorities is an important correlate of psychological adjustment for many Americans, regardless of their sexual orientation.Sexuality Research and Social Policy: Journal of NSRC 06/2012; 9(2).

Article: Gay Fathers in Mixed-Orientation Relationships: Experiences of Those Who Stay in Their Marriages and of Those Who Leave[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many gay men have become parents in the context of heterosexual relationships; ultimately, some separate from female partners while others stay with them. In this study, we compared the experiences of 110 formerly married gay fathers who were currently in relationships with men, 44 formerly married gay fathers who were currently single, and 14 gay fathers who remained married to women. In an Internet survey, we examined relationship satisfaction, parenting stress, sexual orientation disclosure, and gay identity among these men, all of whom had become fathers in the context of heterosexual relationships. Results showed that gay fathers who were currently married to women reported lower relationship satisfaction, affection, consensus, and lower overall dyadic adjustment in their current relationships. Formerly married gay fathers who were currently single or currently in relationships with male partners reported greater openness about their sexual identities than did still-married gay fathers. The men who were currently in relationships, however, did not report differences in relationship cohesion or parenting stress as a function of partners' gender. In summary, self-identified gay men who were currently in relationships with women reported less openness about their sexual orientation and lower relationship satisfaction, but not more parenting stress than did formerly married gay fathers.Journal of GLBT Family Studies 01/2012; 8(1):85-98.

ABSTRACT: The authors examined correlates of parenting stress among 230 gay adoptive fathers across the United States through an Internet survey. As with previous research on adoptive parents, results showed that fathers with less social support, older children, and children who were adopted at older ages reported more parenting stress. Moreover, gay fathers who had a less positive gay identity also reported more parenting stress. These 4 variables accounted for 33% of the variance in parenting stress; effect sizes were medium to large. Our results suggest the importance of social support and a positive gay identity in facilitating successful parenting outcomes among gay adoptive fathers.Journal of Family Psychology 06/2011; 25(4):591-600.

The renovation will be great!Posted 26-Feb-2015
Pros: Great bed
Cons: Access to the hotel is a bit dodgy during high traffic hours.
Location: Close to JBLM and Tacoma Mall. Not too far from Point Defiance Park.
This facility is definitely a bit dated, but they are working on it now. The front desk staff was in training and they need to put a bit more effort into it. It was a bit painful upon arrival. After that, the experience was great. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

its was a little scaryPosted 23-Feb-2015
Pros: free breakfast was great, the room itself was fine, beautiful view of Mt. Rainer
Cons: upgrade the pool, point the lights in the parking area downwards instead straight at third floor windows
Location: Denny's and Subway are right across the street, Bass Pro Shop and movie theater not far away, Tacoma Mall is pretty close
loud guests the first couple nights we were there, pool area looked dirty, pool area was poorly lit, pool did not smell like chlorine and I was worried about my kids using the pool and maybe getting an infection since the water didn't smell chlorinated

Boarded windows in a shady section of townPosted 16-Feb-2015
Cons: Everything
Location: Scary location
For the cost, I expected it to be a nice hotel in a nice area. I was clearly disappointed when we pulled up and there were windows covered in plywood, garbage around the parking lot and the booming of the music from a club across the street. The inside was being painted-tacky. The buffet breakfast was always out of food and there were children running through with no shoes on. I was very disappointed.

NOT the quality you'd expect from the Red LionPosted 10-Feb-2015
Pros: Um, I can't think of one single thing...
Cons: Don't sell it as a "Red Lion" hotel. Be honest and market it as the overpriced, no-tell motel that it actually is.
Location: TERRIBLE location.
I've stayed in many Red Lion hotels across the pacific northwest. They have always clean, neat, with wonderful amenities (pool, on-site restaurants, etc.) and located in a nice part of town. This is NOT one of them. The staff, while nice, certainly weren't going to go above and beyond on anything here. Our room was disgusting. A fingernail clipping on the floor, dust everywhere, and the smoke alarm was taped over with plastic (??). The TV barely worked. The pool was dirty and completely under-lit at night. The hotel is not in Tacoma - it is in Lakewood, one of the more notoriously bad neighborhoods. We ended parking our car under our window to keep an eye on it because there were two cars in the parking lot with young men sitting in the driver seat each night. They were not staff and I don't think they were guests (why would you sit in your car for hours at a hotel parking lot?). I have no idea what there were doing, but I can only assume it was to possibly do a little "smash and grab" of the guest cars parked there. The hotel sits at the corner of I-5 and a busy road. It was noisy, the walls were thin and the smell of the greasy breakfast would flood our room at precisely 6 AM each morning. Frankly, I'm surprised that the Red Lion would lend their brand and logo to this facility. It certainly does not do their reputation ANY favors.

"This just shows the sad future of meme-dom. This wouldn't be popular if the media didn't show it on the news every thirty seconds. It's basically a manufactured meme. Pretty soon, corporations will understand that they can create "viral sensations" using the media, and we'll see "The Burger King Bed Intruder", "All Your Five Dollar Footlong Are Belong To Us", and "Double Rainbow Bar and Grill". It's like how YouTube is being turned into a Vevo/Hulu combination, and less user-generated content. This is my theory on the death of the Meme."
Great prediction. I especially like the "All Your Five Dollar Footlong Are Belong To Us" hahaha.

Artist's Notes: I've had this picture in my mind for quite awhile. As a child, my treasured stuffed animal (as all children tend to have) was a little squirrel who went on every kind of adventure with me, and my favorite story was about a lil' squirrel named "Miss Suzy" – written by Miriam Young, and illustrated by Arnold Lobel.
I love the thought of the tiny leaf-boat capturing the attention of the denizens of the pond as it passes by en route to a wonderous place.
January 10th, 2009 – WOW!! Thank you so much for the front page feature!!! I'm so delighted!
If you like Columbus – you might enjoy some of my other little animal works!!
Amazing work!!!!!

Dog Activities
If you've heard it before, it's worth repeating. If you've never heard it, take note: A tired dog is a happy dog. Not enough exercise — be it mental or physical — is at the root of most behavioral (and many health) problems.
Fortunately, there are a variety of ways in which to keep Fido's body and brain in shape. The key is to find something you both enjoy, whether that means training classes, hiking the local foothills, scavenger hunts around the house, or hearty walks around the neighborhood.
Your dog is a thinking, breathing being — and deserves to be treated as one. Keep her mentally challenged and physically active, and she'll likely stay happy and healthy. Not to mention, you'll stave off many unwanted behaviors.

The Oreck steam cleaner works great! It generates steam in less than 30 seconds. The tank size is large, more than a quart, so you don't run out of water. It cleans the kitchen tile floor well without leaving excess water on the floor. There should be an extra cleaning pad supplied with the unit, to let you wash one pad and use the other. The only awkward thing is that there is not a convenient way to wrap the excess cord on the unit while it is in use or in storage, otherwise there are no problems. Oreck has a great product!
Defiantly worth the money...works great on floors, walls, counters, stairs, windows, curtains, everything you can possibly clean in your house great product and the attachments actually work.....oh and for the people who wrote in their review that there's no place to put the cord once your done...i don't think you looked at your steamer very well cuz at the top there is a yellow hook and then the bottum hook you pull out of the second handle.
We purchased two based upon the performance of the original unit...
I bought this to steam clean a yoga studio's floors and mats. And purchased this one after returning 2 Haan steam cleaners that broke within a week of their purchase. It's true that you get what you pay for, and while this is not the least expensive, it is sturdy and really produces quite a bit of steam. It has a generous reservoir, and you do not have to pump it to produce the steam, unlike the Shark that I borrowed. I have yet to use any of the attachments, so am unable to comment on that. I did purchase extra head covers through Amazon, because I read an earlier review that said you could use your own cloths, but tried that and if it wasn't close in size and pulled very taught made the steamer hard to manipulate. I like it so much I'm considering buying one for home!
Oreck Steam-It Steam Cleaner, you are a lazy, green hippie's dream come true. No chemicals and the machine does all the work. AND the floor is clean!
The Oreck Steamer is much a better way to clean your floors than the mop that dispenses liquid. My floors were always streaky before. My dogs are messy and the Oreck Steamer does a great job cleaning up after them and sanitizing.
I have 3 dogs and wood floors. I have gone through a lot of steamers and this one is working the best.
if you want a clean floor, this is it
After researching steam cleaners, I found the best price on the one I wanted from Overstock and ordered it from them. I have ordered many items from Overstock and have found that what I ordered is exactly what I wanted in terms of quality, price, and service--always first quality!
Maybe my expectations were just too high, but i was disappointed by this. It sounded like a miracle worker according to the description, and all the reviews I read were really positive. But I didn't find that it worked very well, and it was really awkward to use if you're trying to use the attachments. In the end, I figured it would be another gadget taking up too much space in my closet, and there seems to be some controversy as to whether steam is damaging to hardwood floors. I ended up returning it and bought the Bona hardwood floor cleaner instead - it's lighter, cheaper, and easy to use. And since I didn't think the attachments on the Oreck cleaned as I expected, the fact that the Bona only cleans floors was fine with me.

Overall a very nice cart for the money. Would prefer the mesh gage to be heavier and cross member slats to be flush with the bed of the wagon to better reinforce wagon. It will hold over 1000 pounds of load. Tires make for a nice ride and the handle/tongue work great at steering wagon.

This wagon SUCKS!!!! No way it will handle the weight loads that it is claimed to hold. Maybe, maybe if you just put the load on it and didn't move it. This was used to haul 4 hay bales at a time(less than 400lbs). The steering links/straps of metal bent and broke. I'm going to build my own frame with heavier flat bar for the links/straps. About the only thing this is good for is either an artificial reef or do as I am now, use the tires etc to build one that will hold the weight.

The directions were adequate; everything was included in the box. Delivery was very fast. There was no damage to any of the parts from shipping. The only thing that I saw was the wheels did not align perfectly (a little wobbly). Based on the price, this wagon will fulfill my expectations.

Comments about Great Plains Jumbo Industrial Wagon:
Will never spend almost two hundred dollars again on this easily rusted out cheap wagon. It started rusting within two weeks of assembly and is now in the garbage in under two years.
It wasn't hard to find myself and my family on the beach this summer, all you had to do was follow the rust trail from the pieces falling off of it.
Never Again!

Service and delivery comments:
The box the product was sent in was in poor condition. There were many holes and tears in the box. All the hardware was scattered throughout the box. One washer was missing and one washer was too small. The package the hardware came in was torn open. There was no hole drilled on front assembly for pin insertion.

This was not a typical girls' trip.
My sister-in-law Lisa and I were going on vacation, not with our daughters but with Daisy and Misty – our dogs.
Daisy is Lisa's 10-year-old miniature poodle; Misty is my 5-year-old Lhaso Apso-poodle mix. Both have gone on long car rides, camping trips and visits to Lisa's vacation home in Angels Camp. But this was to be the first trip designed specifically with them in mind.
Lisa and I picked Carmel-by-the-Sea, a charming artists' enclave that embraces its eccentricity. This is, after all, the town that doesn't have street addresses, once tried to ban ice cream cones to keep the sidewalks clean and requires a permit for residents and visitors who want to wear high heels. But it's also the town that loves its dogs – even those visiting with tourists – which prompted DogFriendly.com to select it as the country's most dog-friendly resort region.
Accommodating pets is big business in the tourism industry these days. A 2008 TripAdvisor survey found that 61 percent of 1,600 pet-owning travelers polled have brought their pets on at least one trip. About 29.1 million Americans regularly take their pets on trips of 50 miles or more, says the Travel Industry Association of America.
Carmel doesn't just pay lip service to its claim of being dog friendly. It has 25 hotels, inns and bed-and-breakfasts that welcome pets of all sizes, and 44 restaurants, bars and coffeehouses that offer seating where dogs are permitted.
Carmel has one of the few remaining leash-free beaches in California. Shops and galleries welcome canine customers with water dishes and biscuits. (On our visit, we saw only three shops or galleries with signs banning dogs – and one of those because, as the sign read, "My dog barks louder.")
Even City Hall opens its doors to dogs; Carmel Mayor Sue McCloud often brings her Dandie Dinmont terrier, Robbie, to work. And a painting of Pal, the "town dog" until his death in 1943, hangs in the entryway of the City Council chamber.
Michael Merritt, owner of the floral design gallery Twigery, said it best: "When I die, I want to come back as a Carmel dog."
Yes, Carmel seemed the ideal spot for a rookie pooch-vacation experience.
Our trip didn't exactly have an auspicious start. We had placed both dogs in the back seat, nestled into their respective beds, but within two minutes, Daisy attempted to climb into Misty's bed, tipping it over and sending both dogs sprawling.
It didn't help that our trip coincided with one of the relentless January storms that pounded through California.
Yet, as we pulled into Carmel, the dark clouds suddenly shifted. With a welcome respite from the rain, we drove straight to Carmel Beach. Who knew if we'd have another opportunity to let the dogs wander on the sands during our three-day visit.
High tides had brought out a "beach closed" sign, so we stuck to higher ground. Daisy remained on her leash – her old-dog hearing and love of water were a risky mix. I unhooked Misty, and she bounded across the sand like a puppy to greet a handful of other visiting dogs and their owners.
As we would learn later, the beach is usually crowded with dogs of all sizes and breeds – "It's like walking at the Westminister Dog Show," explained local Gale Wrausmann. It's also a popular site for dog parties, even an annual corgi convention.

Beautiful Hand-Stitched Jewelry
By Emi Iwakiri
Gifted by CICO Books
Reviewed by Maria Nerius
There are 35 innovative and stunning projects inspired by Tokyo style with the techniques of crochet, embroidery, and beading. The colors are soft, delicate, bold, and rich. There is an influence of nature done in delicate delightful flowers, leaves, and twigs. The jewelry is whimsical, stylish, and just plain fun. Emi Iwakire is a renowned Japanese artist who uses traditional crochet techniques. Her work is dimensional, full of texture, and eye candy to look at. The jewelry is do-able and the instruction is well written and illustrated. The jewelry photography is up close and full of detail. I found the tassel ring fun and made several for my younger creative friends. The linen flower in its simplicity was a joy to make and wear. This is a lovely book full of great projects and plenty of inspiration as the techniques learned can be used beyond jewelry to embellish many, many other crafts including home décor. Another great book from CICO.

Rust from Washing Machine
My mother ran a load of wash at their second home and a white bedspread now has slotchy rust stains. This has never happened before. The bedspread is still damp. What is the best way to get rid of the rust stains? Thanks.
I had an old dryer I had to be careful with rust problems (I have replaced it)If clothes didn't get fully dry and I forgot them for a day there would be rust stains. My mom told me to use table salt and lemon juice and put it sun. It did work with most spots. I didn't always put in sun. It sometimes would take a number of treatments...Its probably best not to dry in dryer, the clothes that were stained in a washer, that would set the stains more
The same thing happened to me but my washer is relatively new so I knew it was something besides an old drum. I got out my flashlight and found an old bolt or screw had become wedged in the channels and was getting rust over my clothes. Make sure you check for something like this. I never did get the rust out of most of the 3 loads of rust stained laundry.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Person's job as much who they are as what they do More than a cheque
A recent United Nations study suggests that unfortunately, the disease of affluence is spreading worldwide. This so-called disease typically refers to high blood pressure.
Federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty recently sent many Canadians' blood pressure spiking by insinuating they're suffering from another "disease of affluence," one that prevents them from accepting just any job versus being unemployed.
Flaherty's controversial statement that "there is no bad job; the only bad job is not having a job" sent him reeling from the backlash. Yet, he was probably well meaning in that "you have to do what you have to do to make a living." However, even this statement is offensive to many people.
Frankly, I see people all around me doing what they have to do to make a living. I also see families stranded alone while a spouse goes off to a far-flung place to earn their living, seeing their families only once a month. And I do indeed see individuals taking a lower-paying job to keep the wolf from the door.
What bothers me about his statement and pending EI changes is that I don't understand why Flaherty wants to punish the masses when a small percentage of employment insurance recipients might be overusing the system. At the same time, where is the consideration for an individual who has been laid off due to lack of work, a disastrous corporate fire or an entire industry sector collapse?
The answer will not be found in punishing these individuals. Rather, the solution will be found in stabilizing regional economics and training people for new careers so they can once again be successful.
Flaherty's controversial statement is also being perceived as insulting to the various industry sectors that are striving to overcome being painted with that old and outdated "bad job" brush. The tourism industry, for instance, has been working hard to professionalize their job sector by ensuring employees are trained and certified in a wide variety of areas. Today's hotels and restaurants can boast about long-term employees, employer of choice designations, and awards for quality assurance. Individuals employed in these organizations are tremendously proud of their occupation and resent this continued degradation of their industry.
But why has this statement caused so much controversy? In my view, the reason for the backlash is that Flaherty is perceived to be stabbing people in the heart of their personal identity. That's right, their identity. Let's face it, when a person engages in long periods of study and certification in a profession -- be it technical and/or managerial -- and then works in the field for many years, their job becomes a major part of their identity. That's why someone who's unemployed has a hard time answering the questions, "what do you do or where do you work?" Instead, they stumble, mumble and blush as they struggle to respond.
Job loss hits us right where it hurts, not just the financial pocket but the emotional pocket as well. After all, our job is a signal to the world regarding our status in life. Our self-esteem is all wrapped up in our job. Our daily satisfaction and sense of accomplishment is, for the most part, wrapped up in our job. That's why job loss hits us so hard. It creates personal insecurity because your place in the work world has been lost. "Who are you?", becomes a burning question.
Not only that, when people become unemployed, they may feel they've lost control of their life and as a result, they don't know where to turn. Some find it embarrassing to report their job hunting activities on a weekly basis. However, keep in mind, employees pay into the employment insurance plan and in most cases, they are entitled to benefits.
On the other hand, I suggest that if someone has to take a lower-paying job, they should not be expected to apologize. Instead, focus on what can be learned from every experience. When coaching individuals in this situation, I have them focus on reviewing their previous job and searching out the many accomplishments they have achieved. Since most people take themselves for granted and are challenged to identify their accomplishments, I recommend looking for problems they have solved, people they have trained, or simply take pride in the fact they were a long, loyal employee.
At the same time, because self-esteem and a positive attitude go such a long way toward getting that next job, individuals need to look for other opportunities to build and sustain their self-esteem.
I suggest getting up each day as though preparing for work and continuing to dress well. I recommend becoming conscious of body language and posture as these characteristics display a person's mood, be it good or bad. Finally, it is important for people to catch their negative thoughts and to reframe them into something positive.
As mentioned earlier, one of the additional challenges where out-of-work professionals have difficulty in responding is that old standard question, "what do you do or where do you work?" In either case, I recommend answering the question by stating an occupation and/or stating the top three skills. For example, someone could respond by saying, "I excel at financial management, carpentry and/or human resources". While some people may be surprised by this answer because it isn't exactly what was expected, it really helps to retain one's confidence and helps to focus on what the person does well and what they like to do. When applying this strategy, body language, eyes and voice project much more positively.
While Flaherty might feel he has avoided the "affluence disease," I'm sure that he now recognizes he suffers from "foot in the mouth" disease and will be more careful when commenting in the future.

Joe Maddon explains quick hook for Jeremy Hellickson
|10.09.13 at 3:12 am ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. ' It was certainly not how anybody expected the night would go, not even Joe Maddon.
After using nine pitchers ' the most for a nine-inning game in Tampa Bay history ' Maddon explained his thought process behind the wave of hurlers. It all started, of course, when the manager decided to remove starter Jeremy Hellickson with nobody out in the second inning after he had followed up a 12-pitch first inning by loading the bases.
'Not necessarily according to plan,' said Maddon after his team's 3-1, season-ending loss to the Red Sox Tuesday night at Tropicana Field. 'But originally I thought, or had hoped for [Hellickson] getting through the lineup one time and maybe through [Dustin] Pedroia and then turning it over at that point. The way it was working at the beginning there, I could see it was just not going to work and we had to do something differently. We became a little bit more extemporaneous at that point.'
Maddon said he didn't share his plan with Hellickson prior to the Game 4 start.
'No, I didn't want to put anything in his head,' the manager said. 'If he got off really good, and stayed good, I would have let him go on farther. But I really thought that would be 12 batters, then here comes Ortiz, who has given him some problems. I thought at that point it would have been good to get back to Alex Torres. That was the game-plan, but that got blown up.'
The Rays did manage to get out of the second-inning bases loaded jam when reliever Jamey Wright struck out Jarrod Saltalamacchia and induced an inning-ending double play line-out off the bat of Stephen Drew.
After one inning of work, Wright was immediately followed by Matt Moore (2 IP, H), and Torres (2 IP, H).
Then came Jake McGee, who was charged with a pair runs, followed by Joel Peralta. Peralta's wild pitch on his very first offering that allowed the Sox to tie the game at 1-1. The reliever would then allow the go-ahead run to score on Shane Victorino's infield hit.
Closer Fernando Rodney didn't allow for much relief in the ninth, getting pulled after walking a pair and ultimately being charged with the Sox' third run. Chris Archer and Wesley Wright finished things up with Game 5 scheduled starter David Price ready to come on in the 10th if needed.
'I did not plan on David, either,' Maddon said. 'Fernando was struggling so much in the ninth there, and I didn't want them to get anymore runs because of [Red Sox closer Koji] Uehara. Stayed with him as long as I could and then here came [Archer]. '¦ Throughout the entire game, it was an interesting game. Again, we needed to score more runs against their pitching. We've had a hard time with that, but I thought our bullpen was fabulous.'
