Give your money where it can do the most good
Thomas Medishimiye, 2, sufering from malaria, sits on his bed next to his mother at Rutshuru hospital, now under control of M23 rebels some 75kms (48 miles) north of Goma, eastern Congo, Saturday, Aug. 4, 2012. Doctors Without Borders reported Congo's army now controls only the city of Goma and the village of Kibumba, 10 kilometers (six miles) outside Goma. Now the rebels hold all towns going north as far as Rutshuru and are threatening to besiege Goma. The U.N. Security Council on Thursday demanded that the M23 rebel group halt any advances toward Goma. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)
My answer: None of the above. Given the huge discrepancy between how much most Americans have and how little the world's poorest people have, your dollars are likely to do more good if you give to charities helping people living in extreme poverty in developing countries -- as long as you are careful to give only to the most effective ones.
Extreme poverty, as defined by the World Bank, means living on less than $1.25 a day. More than 1 billion people struggle to get by on this paltry amount. They work hard but have little chance of escaping the poverty trap into which they were born. They have life expectancies up to 30 years less than we do. Their children die from diarrhea, pneumonia, measles and malaria, which no longer kill people in developed countries. UNICEF estimates that more than 8 million children die of avoidable, poverty-related causes each year. That's 22,000 child deaths that we could prevent, every day.
I'm not religious, but if I were, I would belong to a religion that told me to help the poorest rather than to give to build new churches or temples.
I teach at an elite private university, where the students have amazing educational opportunities, but when I have to choose between making further improvements to the already excellent education of privileged students or giving as many children as possible the opportunity to get some schooling rather than none, I know what to choose.
Medical research can churn through billions of dollars for no gain at all, while every day thousands of children die from diseases that we already know how to prevent or cure. We need to provide the means to spread the most basic health care -- and clean water, sanitation and bed nets to prevent malaria -- because by doing so we can save lives for a fraction of the cost of saving lives in developed countries. (Donating for research on diseases that affect the poor, where relatively little is now being spent, is more defensible.)
I enjoy visiting New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Should I give to it, or similar institutions? A few years ago the Met spent $45 million on a painting by the 14th century Italian artist Duccio. I've seen it. It's a small but beautiful painting by a historically significant artist.
But how does adding it to the Met's already stupendous collection of paintings compare with repairing an obstetric fistula in an impoverished woman? As it happens, the amount the Met paid for the Duccio would, according to the Fistula Foundation, pay for the surgery needed by 100,000 young women whose lives will otherwise be ruined. (For more details, see www.fistulafoundation.org.) Is it more important that Duccio's painting hangs in the Met, rather than wherever the next-highest bidder would have put it, or that 100,000 young outcast women have surgery that can give them back a normal life? To me, that's not a difficult question.
So I think our charity dollars should be directed to the greatest need, which means outside the United States. Yet only 8 cents of every dollar Americans give to charity goes to organizations working internationally (and not all of them are helping the poor), according to Giving USA.
The good news is that this figure has been rising steadily in recent years. Americans like to think that when it comes to foreign aid, we are a generous nation. But in fact, even when both government aid and private charity are added together, we give, in proportion to gross national income, less than half as much as nations like Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
As for all that junk mail you are getting from charities: Ignore it. Would you buy a used car with no warranty because the owner tells you it runs well? Not likely. At a minimum, you'd do a test drive, and if you don't know much about cars yourself, you'd be wise to get an independent agency to check it over.
It's the same with charities. Not every charity will use your money well. Finding out which ones are effective isn't easy. Don't look just at the percentage of income that a charity spends on administration. It might spend very little on administration, but because it doesn't employ enough staff to assess the programs it supports, its programs may do no good at all. GiveWell has pioneered rigorous assessment techniques for charities. Take a look at its top recommendations (www.GiveWell.org). Some other charities may be highly effective, even though their methods don't lend themselves to GiveWell's quantitative methods of assessment, so on www.thelifeyoucansave.com, I've listed some others that are worth considering.
There are other causes that I haven't mentioned that are worthy of support: reducing the vast universe of pain and suffering we inflict on animals, for instance, or combating climate change. The guiding principle is to give where you will have the most impact.

In another life - about 20 years ago - I moved to Colorado to , in part, become a professional Fly Tyer (fishing flies). In the ten years following that move I became what most people in that community would consider a "pro". I had a good reputation for innovative thinking and ond originality of design. My patterns were successful and sought after. In my own estimation I was "pretty damned good" at what I did. I even got a little national recognition.
About ten years ago I just quit doing it. I stopped tying and fishing both, for reasons I won't go into. I just walked away.
Today, while I don't missing the fishing, I do find I miss the tying - the craft of tying fishing flies and the artistry of execution. I've thought about dusting off the vise and start tying again from time to time, but now being a Buddhist I'm reluctant to go back into tying as these flies are intended to be used for killing beings, or at least toturing them (if you're of a catch-and-release mentality). I have no intention to actually fish the files I might tie. I might write about it. I'm not tempted to actually sell my flies like I used to.
But, I would like to tie again.
I'd like some feedback. Is it a bad idea to take this up again?

Softball Ends Limestone's Season with 8-5, 14-Inning Win Before King Eliminates Lady Falcons with 2-0 Shutout
April 20, 2013
BURLINGTON, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University had a wild finish to the 2013 softball season ending Limestone's season with a crazy 8-5, 14-inning win Saturday afternoon before being eliminated by top-seeded King 2-0 in the nightcap. The Lady Falcons end the year at 21-28 concluding the Conference Carolinas tournament in fifth being the fourth team eliminated.
To begin the day, Pfeiffer and Limestone had to resume Friday night's contest that was suspended due to rain in the top of the sixth tied at 3-3. The Lady Falcons would push the go-ahead run across in the sixth on a Sadie Saine single to center before Limestone stayed alive in regulation scored the tying run on a wild pitch on their last out.
In extras, Pfeiffer would grab a 5-4 lead on an Ashlee Ellen RBI single to score Khristin Isley before Limestone squared the contest on a bases-loaded hit by pitch in the bottom of the 10th. Both teams would remain deadlocked at 5-5 until the 14th. Tyresha Ellis came up with the big hit delivering a two-out, two-run double for a 7-5 lead before Lindsey Russell added an infield single to score Sam Jarmusch with the eighth and final run.
Jarmusch would not only score the insurance run in the 14th but would be the workhorse inside the circle tossing all 14 innings, albeit five were thrown on Friday night, while allowing just four earned runs on seven strikeouts to finish her year at 11-7. Saine would lead the Lady Falcons offensively going 4-for-7 in the elimination game that took just over four hours to complete with two RBI and a run scored.
After King fell to Coker in 12 innings after the Lady Falcons 14-inning win, both teams ironically squared off in another elimination game that took just 76 minutes to decide. Everything was scoreless until the bottom of the sixth until Hannah Smith lined a two-out, two-run single to center with the bases loaded accounting for the only pair of runs in the nightcap. Both teams could only manage just four hits apiece after the longer encounters during the day while Russell took the tough loss inside the circle tossing six frames allowing the two runs with six strikeouts in the loss. Jarmusch ended up collecting two of the Lady Falcons four hits against King.

Something in a female skin has invaded Kaihou Academy, and Mari is its target.

Has anyone here heard of "debt snowballing"?
I was talking to someone today and they mentioned this method of paying down debt called debt snowballing. The way they explained it to me was that you pay more on the lowest debt until you finishing pay it off (you would still be paying down on your other debts of course). Then you take the money that was applied to the debt that you just paid off and add it to the next debt and so on until all of the debts are paid. They said that it would work very well for credit cards.
Just wanted to know if anyone here has heard of this method of paying down debt or if someone has used it?

Re: Has anyone here heard of "debt snowballing"?
I have. Dave Ramsey of www.daveramsey.com is a big proponent of this. I have 2 of his books and listen to him on the radio from time to time. He advocates this:
1. First, before starting the snowball or any type of debt reduction plan, put away $1k emergency fund and it can't be in a CD or stock, it must be liquid i.e checking/savings account. His reasoning is that something always comes up whether it be that your brakes or batteries go out, or the water heater in the house bursts or whatever, one must be ready to have readyily available money to pay for lifes little bumps which is one of the main reasons why people get derailed from their debt reduction plan.
2. He does not believe in paying the highest interest rate card first which some financial people advocate. I agree with him. His reasoning is that people need to see what they are working towards and when they can see that they just paid of that $300 Orchard Bank credit card, it provides a psychological boost. He says to pay the minimum on all the other credit cards and then pay the most that you can afford on the smallest credit card balance.
When you have paid that off, eg if you were paying $50 on Orchard Bank, take the $50 and apply it along with the minimum payment of the next smallest balance and so on and so on.
This is a good plan. However the rest of his teachings, I don't really subscribe to. He advocates NO credit cards only a debit card. He advocates paying by CASH/CHECK/DEBIT card only. He says not to worry about a FICO score.
He advocates not purchasing a home with a payment more than 25% of your income. I don't know where that situation exists for most people. He does advocate tithing and he is a Christian which is perfectly alright with me.
He says that most people are living above their means and if you have financial problems and the creditors are callling, get a second job, eat rice and beans and don't let the collection agencies bully you. He calls them bottom feeders. He says, never , ever, ever, give them access to your checking/saving account and get everything in writing.

Re: Has anyone here heard of "debt snowballing"?
Here's the definition for debt-snowball:
The basic steps in the debt snowball method are as follows:
- List all debts in ascending order from smallest balance to largest. This is the method's most distinctive feature, in that the order is determined by amount owed, not the rate of interest charged. However, if two debts are very close in amount owed, then the debt with the higher interest rate would be moved above in the list.
- Commit to pay the minimum payment on every debt.
- Determine how much extra can be applied towards the smallest debt.
- Pay the minimum payment plus the extra amount towards that smallest debt until it is paid off.
- Then, add the old minimum payment from the first debt to the extra amount, and apply the new sum to the second smallest debt.
- Repeat until all debts are paid in full.
- Some lenders will apply extra amounts towards the next payment. Be sure to contact them and tell them you want your extra payment to go directly toward the principal.
In theory, by the time the final debts are reached, the extra amount paid toward the larger debts will grow quickly, similar to a snowball rolling downhill gathering more snow (thus the name). The theory works as much on human psychology as it does on finance; by paying the smaller bills first, the individual, couple, or family sees fewer incoming payment requests as more bills are paid off, thus giving ongoing positive feedback on their progress towards eliminating their debt.
All retirement contributions are to be halted during the debt snowball, thus freeing up more money to pay down the debt snowball. Many dispute this practice, citing the cost of compounding interest to be greater than the gains of paying off debt. Some compromise by reducing retirement contributions to only what a company will match with an employee. Many financial and wealth experts teach that this halting of retirement contributions should last no more than two years.
A first home mortgage is not generally included in the debt snowball, but is instead paid off as part of one's larger financial plan. As an example, many financial plans pay off home mortgages in a later step, along with any other debt which is equal to or greater than half of one's annual take-home pay.

Great thread guys!
Hey HJM331, that is the only way I have heard of it also. You both are actually correct.

Re: Has anyone here heard of "debt snowballing"?
HJM331 and Shark6 thanks for the information. You all are fast. Shark6 if you don't mind me asking what are the titles of the books that you have by dave ramsey.
I like this debt snowballing theory and I think I would like to get going with this soon.

Re: Has anyone here heard of "debt snowballing"?
One of them is :
The Total Money Makeover
I forgot the name of the other one but I purchased it during a holiday weekend for $10 each. In fact, I'm pretty sure that he has a sale now as it seems that every holiday weekend, you can get any of his books for $10. It's a simple read with sound principles.
I take most of what he says and discard the rest. However, if you are looking for a total debt free way of life, his books/philosophy is for you. If you are looking to pay down your debts and do it fast where you can see quick results, then he is your guy and the debt snowball is the way to go.
I intend to do a modify debt snowball. I would like to get all of my cards at 30% and then go back and work on them lower.

Shark6, thanks for the name of the book and I will be ordering it this weekend for sure. From what I see so far I think I can follow along with some of this philosophy.
Again I would like to say that I am so lucky to have come across this website everyone here is so amazingly helpful.

Re: Has anyone here heard of "debt snowballing"?
Shark6, I brought a copy of Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover and a copy of Financial Peace. I am going to be making my first $1,000.00 deposit at the beginning of next month. Both copies were $10.00 each and I think a good investment. I've been reading the Total Money Makeover for two days now. One of my friends even gave me a link for a spread sheet that works out different scenarios for paying down the cards using a set amount every month.
I'll be making updates to this thread from time to time with my progress!

Re: Has anyone here heard of "debt snowballing"?
Good for you! I have those two books and I listen to his radio show from time to time at work.
I don't subscribe to everything that he says but most of his principles are sound. I do believe in tithing, living within your means, the debt snowball, having an emergency fund etc I also agree with him re purchasing a late model car and not a new car which depreciates right when it is driven of the lot.
OTOH, I do believe that one should have a few credit cards and work on your Fico scores. He believe that everything should be paid by check, cash or debit card and that one doesn't need a Fico score.
Keep me posted on your journey.
p.s. He gives sound advice re collectors which he calls, 'the scum of the earth'.

BROAD CREEK — He goes by Jac for short, but Croatan basketball standout JacQues Chambers could also go by a couple other names as well.
First, the 18-year-old Chambers is Mr. Explosive, which the 6-foot-3, 185-pound forward has shown to be this season en route to averaging 21.8 points per game, despite being recently hampered with a sore right ankle.
"Against Clinton and Northside, honestly he was at about 50-60 percent and he was still capable of (playing well)," Croatan coach Kirk McDougle said. "For a guy to be at 50-60 percent and still be a factor and still be a shining factor, that's really telling you how explosive he is."
But Chambers isn't just explosive for the Cougars (11-2, 2-2 East Central 2-A Conference), who visit league foe Topsail (6-6, 0-4) tonight. You can also refer to him as Mr. 1,000, given he recently reached 1,000 points for his three-year high school varsity career at Croatan.
Chambers scored 22 points in the Cougars' 76-45 win over East Duplin on Tuesday to reach 1,000 points, a feat he said he will remember for a long time because it was quite an individual accomplishment — and the fact he did it at home.
"It means a lot to me," Chambers said. "I've just played as hard as I can game in and game out, and whether I'm hurt or healthy, I'm still going to give 100 percent. When I finally got the 1,000th point, I felt all the hard work had paid off and it was just a wonderful experience.
"But it's not going to slow me down. It makes me want to work harder."
Chambers has had to work harder this season after the departure of the Williams family — coach Dexter Williams and twins Ashley and Aaron. The two players transferred to the Greenfield School in Wilson in the summer.
Ashley Williams was The Daily News player of the year last year, but his absence meant Chambers had to elevate his game.
"Last year it was me, Austin (Saunders), Aaron and Ashley who put up most of the scoring and now two of our top-rated scorers were gone and so, of course, me and Austin were like, 'It's time to step up.'" Chambers said.
"We knew when things got rough and not going our way, it would either be me or him that had to have the ball to make something happen, whether we take it ourselves or get our teammates involved. There was some added pressure, but I think we have done pretty well handling it."
Chambers has certainly put in his fair share of work this season.
Not only is he averaging about 21 points — he has scored at least 15 points in 11 of 13 games — Chambers is also averaging 8.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 blocks.
His highest scoring output this season came when he scored 47 points in a 99-96 victory over Havelock on Dec. 27. His next came Dec. 7 when he scored 30 points in a 61-38 win over West Carteret. Chambers also scored 28 in a 77-59 victory over Pamlico on Dec. 11.
But the 47-point game will always be special to Chambers.
"Man, oh, man," he said, "that's something I won't forget."
And so far Chambers is having a memorable senior season after he averaged 19 points and 9.2 rebounds per game last year to help the Cougars win the
"I can't tell you how happy I am to be a part of this," said McDougle, who is in his first year as head coach after coaching the JV the previous two years. "To watch Jac for the last three years and finally get the opportunity to coach him…, he's such a pure talent. But I really think he hasn't even scratched the surface of his potential."
Scary thought isn't it?
Where last season he was more of a perimeter threat, Chambers is now more versatile and a player who can score in different ways. He still fires up his jump shot with confidence, but he also goes strong to the basket and is always a threat for a slam dunk on the break.
"He's not afraid to get hit," McDougle said. "That's saying something. He's definitely not soft."
Rather, Chambers can grind it out inside with the best of them. He also gets right into the thick of it on defense, typically guarding the opponent's best scorer.
Chambers believes his defense sparks his offense.
"Before every game, coach is like, 'JacQues, you got' such and such and normally that player is their best player. I'm like, 'Give me their best scorer' because I pride myself on shutting him down," Chambers said.
"The way I like to play comes when he is out of his game and I just let the ball come to me and I get fast-break points. If they leave me open (during half-court offensive set), I'm going to shoot it, and if they play too rough on me, I'm going to go to the basket.
"It all starts on defense for me, and that's where I get my motivation."
Chambers' defense-first mentality impresses McDougle.
"The great thing about him is that he wants to guard everybody. Whether the guy is 7-foot or 5-6, he wants to guard him," McDougle said. "Usually top scorers want to focus on offense and defense is to catch their breath.
"And the thing that's really impressive is him getting as many rebounds he has since he's guarded a lot of perimeter players. That just shows you what an athlete he is and how much he hustles."
But Chambers isn't content with his accomplishments to date. He wants more and he wants to continue being a driving force for the Cougars. Chambers also wants to continue showing that he's among the best players in the area and conference.
"I need to be a leader along with Austin, and I got to be that floor general," Chambers said. "We've got two 20-point scorers on our team, Northside has one, South Lenoir has one and Clinton probably has one somewhere.
"That's a challenge, and I know I have to go into every game knowing I got to put some work in."

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), incoming Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee and a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, took issue with the claim made by Rep. Sander Levin, ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, that "The Treasury was forced to spend $1.3 billion more in interest payments" because of the dispute over raising the debt ceiling in 2011. Levin based his claim on a Government Accountability Office estimate. Levin also cited a projection by the Bipartisan Policy Center of higher borrowing costs of "almost $19 billion over the next decade."
"The claim that a short-term extension of the debt limit may raise U.S. government debt service costs is highly speculative at best," Brady said. "The Bipartisan Policy Center's projection is based upon two questionable GAO studies."
Brady continued, "The 2011 GAO study showed mixed results, with no significant impacts in 40% of the extensions. The 2012 GAO study was based on only one event – which is statistically inconclusive. But even if these findings were true, they miss the point. It's uncontrolled federal spending over time that will significantly boost our debt service costs. President Obama must get the backbone to challenge his party to work with us to control non-interest spending now, by capping it as a percent of the size of our economy."

"Wonderful Product"
My 15 month old boxer pup was diagnosed with kidney failure & given a short time to live. I changed his diet & was told by a friend about Canine Red Cell. I ordered Red Cell on 5/3/2011 and I received it the very next day! Bentley's Red Blood Cell Count (RBC) was 2.81 on 5/4/2011. The vet informed me that he would have trouble breathing within the next 2 -3 weeks & I would have to put him down when this happened & there was no way he would be able to build RBC's. I took him on 5/14 for another RBC count after 10 days on Canine Red Cell & his RBC count was UP to 4.17!The vet was speechless! He now gives my pup 6 months to 1 year or more! (at this point) I recommend Canine Red Cell for anyone with a sick animal. Jeffers was great in answering my questions over the phone & delivering the Red Cell to me the very next day! Great company & I will always use them for my pet needs. Thank you Jeffers & Canine Red Cell for helping me & my Bentley.

Osteosarcoma is a common form of bone cancer. This cancer usually begins in cells called osteoblasts, which make bones. This type of cancer can spread to other parts of the body.
Risk Factors
Risk factors include:
- Gender: teen boys (may affect them during their growth spurt)
- Genetic conditions (eg, retinoblastoma , Li-Fraumeni syndrome)
- History of radiation therapy
Symptoms may include:
- Swelling or a lump at the location of the tumor (usually affects longer bones)
- Pain at the tumor location
- Difficulty moving the affected limb
- Limping
- Deep bone pain severe enough to wake up your child
- Bone fractures (rarely)
If your child has any of these symptoms, talk to the doctor right away.
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and do a medical history. A physical exam will also be done. Tests may include:
- Blood tests
- X-ray —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of bones
- Bone scan —a test that looks for bone tumors
- CT scan —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of bones
- MRI scan —a test that uses magnetic waves to make pictures of bones
- Biopsy —removal of a sample of bone tissue to test for cancer cells
Once cancer is found, the doctor will do staging tests to find out if the cancer has spread. Treatment depends on the stage and location of the cancer. Talk with the doctor and healthcare team about the best treatment plan for your child. Options include:
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body killing mostly cancer cells.
Surgery involves the removal of the tumor, nearby tissues, and nearby lymph nodes. Surgery may require amputation of the limb . Whenever possible, the doctor will try to remove the cancerous part of the bone without amputating. Sometimes, treatment with chemotherapy can help avoid the need for amputation.
With radiation therapy, radiation is directed at the tumor to kill the cancer cells.

Search Engine Optimisation is changing.
The days of digital marketing agencies trying to 'game' Google are over. Instead, businesses large and small are beginning to understand the importance of sustainable visibility, good SEO practice and web content that's relevant and valuable to real customers – not just algorithms.
Over the last decade a carousel of dodgy SEO techniques have come and gone. Each one left behind a trail of dissatisfied customers, many of which saw their visibility wiped out following a search engine update.
A few agencies still sadly peddle the same snake oil, but Bring Digital is pioneering a new wave of no-nonsense, ethical, SEO services.
We believe SEO is simple, doesn't need to verge into 'grey hat' areas, and can be grasped within an afternoon. More importantly, we believe the key to any effective campaign is avoiding the quick (and temporary) fix and embracing the long term. SEO will be integral to your online business for years to come; it's time to start investing in that future.
Boost your organic search traffic and sales by contacting Bring today.
A happy customer is a well-informed one. Despite what some agencies will have you believe, SEO is far from rocket science. We ensure you and your team know exactly what goes into your campaign and how it's helping your business grow.

If a website is the shop window of the 21st Century, then Google is the busiest high street in the world. Google processes over 5 billion searches a day, and amongst the bored workers looking for cat videos are potential customers, looking to find a business just like yours.
Organic search can be one of the most effective and efficient marketing channels available, providing a high volume of sales and leads at a much lower cost-per-acquisition than paid channels.
Google loves serving up local search results. It makes sense; if you type in 'Plumber' you don't want to be shown tradesman from the other side of the country.
If you deliver your product or service in your local area, then you can specifically target this valuable opportunity. The great thing about local search results; they enable you to present your website alongside your address, telephone number and real customer reviews.
The Internet has made the world a smaller place, and it's now possible for small businesses to sell their products or services internationally. Competition in the global marketplace brings its own challenges, especially when it comes to marketing across multiple languages.
This is a challenge we thrive on, and we're proud to work with companies that have customers from Blackburn to Bangkok.
Love it or hate it, Google still heavily bases its algorithm around the quality of links pointing at a site. Luckily, the days of spammy SEO agencies playing cat and mouse with search engines are coming to an end.
Google is starting to live up to its word that companies earning high-quality links will prevail in the search results. As a sustainable and ethical agency, this puts a huge smile on our face. We can help you build an effective and long-term strategy that will earn high-quality and relevant links to your site.
To say Google likes great content is an understatement. In today's battle for the eyes of a growing online customer base, good-quality, relevant and engaging content marks you out from the crowd both in the eyes of search engines and your customers.
This is fantastic news for business owners, as creating an ongoing content strategy is a creative and cost effective way to impress customers, drive search engine visibility and increase sales. We have a wealth of experience in building creative and effective content strategies for businesses across a range of industries.
You'll often find the public faces of Google suggesting the best way to increase your rankings is to create great content and wait for the search engines to find you. In reality, great content needs to be seeded around the web in order to attract the attention of industry influencers and potential brand advocates.
We believe that a solid content marketing is the most sustainable and effective way of developing your online brand, and we would be eager to show you how we can make it work for your business.

Warning: WD-40 will not fix your Home button, may damage your iPhone or iPad
Do not -- repeat -- do NOT put WD-40 or any such substance in your iPhone or iPad -- it won't permenantly fix your Home button and may, in fact, damage it far worse. The idea that repeatedly squirting WD-40 into your iPhone or iPad Home button could fix responsiveness began floating around the internet last month and has gotten some attention -- that needs to be stopped immediately. Keep in mind we're huge fans of DIY repair here at iMore. We have a weekly column focused on DIY repair. But putting WD-40 on your iPhone is not DIY repair. It's dangerous, particularly for iPhones and iPads that are built with moving, plastic parts.
WD-40 may be non-conductive but the solvent in it will break down plastic. Your home button is plastic as well as some of the internal parts. Your speaker assembly is plastic and sits directly below your home button. Also, WD-40 is a liquid and you're spraying it dangerously close to where the wiring for the dock -- the place you charge your iPhone or iPad -- sits. The only substance that should ever be applied to an iPhone or iPad is high concentrated alcohol to remove corrosion from a logic board after it has been damaged by another liquid. None of the other components should ever come in contact with liquid. Including WD-40.
To understand what causes a sticky home button you need to understand how the home button works. On an iPhone 4 there is a flex cable that connects to your dock and comes around the front. This piece has a contact on it that is connected to the home button with adhesive. When this button is depressed too many times, the contact starts to wear and get thin. Eventually this results in a "tacky" home button or clicks not registering as the contact is not thick enough to apply the correct amount of pressure to register to trigger a click. It was bad design on Apple's part, especially after introducing the double-click to launch the Fast App Switcher in iOS 4.
The iPhone 4S Home button was re-designed to fix these problems. The button is actually stuck to the main assembly with a rubber gasket. Then a bracket is put into position behind that, similar to that of the iPad 2.
Your iPhone or iPad Home button isn't a squeaky old spring or noisy hinge that a couple of squirts of grease can easily fix. If the Home button flex cable wears down over time, nothing but replacing the Home button flex cable will solve the issue. Spraying a substance like WD-40 into your device will only make matters worse or damage other components inside your device. If you're under warranty Apple will swap out your iPhone 4 at no cost. If you're not, you should repair it the correct way or send it in to someone who can. Here are some good software fixes to try on your own first -
- How to troubleshoot a buggy home button
- Get around a broken home button with an Activator gesture (jailbreak)
So put the WD-40 can down and slowly back away, then tell everyone you know -- including the people who post these tips -- to do likewise.

Warning: WD-40 will not fix your Home button, may damage your iPhone or iPad
Why? Because many, MANY people see WD40 as a lubricant, which is what it is. They don't read the warning labels or fine print, and many people don't understand that the petroleum distillates in WD40 are corrosive to plastics and rubbers. I've seen people seriously screw up their devices or other products by using WD40 on them, then try to return them and then get pissed off when they can't. It's nice to see public service announcements like this so that people who may not know are more informed.
This is the biggest facepalm ever. WD-40 should be outlawed to begin with, it causes untold issues with everything, rust, etc.
It's caustic, horrible and just should not exist. There are alternatives, many of them, that should be considered around the house, but for your iPhone? Use WD-40?
Wow, that did NOT work. Frick. Yeah I feel stupid now. I need a facepalm for myself.
Worry not. I still LoL'd at your failure to post ASCII porn.
It's amazing that some people would think was a good idea!! wow....iDarwin award winner there!
You beat me to it. I was gonna say if one is dumb enough to put WD-40 on an iPhone (or any phone) then they may deserve what comes next...that is all that comes next except effects of putting a highly poisonous substance on an objects that you plant on your face for hours a day. No one deserves that part.
Thanks Ally...whoever came up with that idea doesn't know what wd-40 is for. Lol
"Eventually this results in a "tacky" home button or clicks not registering as the contact is not thick enough to apply the correct amount of pressure to register to trigger a click. It was bad design on Apple's part, especially after introducing the double-click to launch the Fast App Switcher in iOS 4."
Lol worlds best phone cant properly design the most used button on their phone.
Oops. Must of rubbed someone the wrong way. Hey maybe I have an iPhone and just find it funny how Apple is considered the best and the they didnt take time to design the main button to take the most abuse. The home button is used twenty times more than any other, I just think they woyld design it to withstand that amount of use. Just my opinion. TOOL
What? One of the things it is designed for is driving water out of heavy-duty electrical parts. (Think distributer cap. Assuming anyone still knows what that is.)
WD-40 has never been conductive. Now if you used it on the wrong plastic, it may have dissolved your insulation; causing a short.
I have a questionwhen you play a one deck game, is the running count always the true count???
Witte Roos?
This recent growth has led a number of companies to consider developing a SaaS-based solution. As part of the decision process, there is often a significant focus on how long it will take, and how much capital is required to build and market a successful, profitable SaaS solution (particularly in comparison to traditional, licensed software solutions).
So your saying it does all that just by thinking it, I don't think so. Especially not from google.
Make dam sure you get all the screws and nuts and any hardware litterily replaced before you leave the shop, why ? If you drive down the road and the bumper falls right off, he'll say, How do I know you didnt take the screws out yourself ? Get my point ?
I ran into this a while ago on OSX 10.7.1 and fixed it by repairing my Keychain. That could be the same process in permissions repair for all I know, but it's something else to consider if you have a stubborn issue with logins.
The same issue. None of the recommendations have worked on iOS 5.1.
It is perfect time to make some plans for the longer term and it's time to be happy. I've learn this put up and if I could I wish to counsel you few interesting things or tips. Maybe you can write next articles regarding this article. I wish to learn even more things about it!
What about of using WD40 on an aluminium Ipod nano 6G?

Because the work is labor and material intensive, expect to pay from $2.50 to $5 per square foot for a four-inch thick, broom sweep-finish concrete patio. For stamping, plan to spend around $6 per square foot in most regions. An 80-pound bag of concrete mix costs about $5 and yields about .6 cubic feet.
Exposed aggregate can start at around $4 per square foot in many areas of the country. Concrete countertops are generally considered for the high-end user and are priced similarly to granite. For a 1.5"-thick custom countertop expect to pay $70 to $140 per square foot plus $50 per hour for installation. Be sure to add shipping costs to your estimate.
Concrete projects are generally quoted on a linear or square-foot basis. Of course, pricing depends on the geographic location, thickness of the concrete, availability of resources and number of professional concrete finishers in the area. Obtain at least three quotes for any project to ensure that your project is fairly priced. By hiring a professional concrete finisher, owners add a unique and value-added element to their property.

Hi, everyone! First time poster – I came here via Language Log. I was browsing the Philadelphia City Paper's website at www.citypaper.net and came across an eggcorn I'd never seen before:
We were as tight as two peas in a pot!!
See http://www.citypaper.net/lovehate/#73473 for the full text.
Good one! I ran into some confusion googling it. There's a store by that name. Maybe someone else can pick up the trail for finding it in the wild, I'm too lazy right now.
Used by Nora Schweihs on TV show Mob Wives Chicago, S1E9. "Actually, they're like two peas in a pot. They're made for each other." She is a frequent speaker of eggcorns and malaprops. In another episode (and in a related article, she uses the phrase resume the body
Googling "alike as two peas in a pot" I get 9 hits that look real, although a fair number of those appear to be non-native English speakers.
Forgive me for lowering the tone on this forum once again. I couldn't resist.
I was looking at a former student's MySpace a few days ago and noticed she had gotten married. I clicked through to her husband's MySpace to see what he looked like, and I came to a photo of him and his son that was captioned "Two pees in a pot". I cracked up. The poor guy obviously missed the point of the "two peas in a pod" phrase.

Lady Falcons Drain 10 Three-Pointers; Women's Basketball Back in Win Column with 67-44 Victory at St. Andrews
January 18, 2010
LAURINBURG, N.C. Sophomore forward Jamila Harris contributed a game-high 19 points as Pfeiffer University defeated St. Andrews Presbyterian College 67-44 in Conference Carolinas womens basketball action on Monday night. The Lady Falcon defense allowed just 44 points, a new season-best, improving to 6-7 overall, 6-2 in league play. The loss drops the Knights to 1-10, 0-8.
Pfeiffer set an early tone grabbing the lead off of the tip with4-0 lead after a basket by Harris. Jacquese Smith and Brittany Roberts each sliced a pair of Knights deficits back to three on a jumper and three-pointer, before Harris drained her own three that put Pfeiffer back up a half-dozen with 13:41 to go in the period.
A 15-5 spurt separated the Lady Falcons on a couple of threes by Celeste Caudill and Jessica Walter throughout the middle portion of the opening half. St. Andrews again battled back with an 8-2 run on a pair of baskets by Kayla Hay and a jumper by Megan Lee to trail Pfeiffer 33-25 at the break.
Out of the second-half gate, Smith and Hay each drained another basket cutting the Lady Falcon lead back to four at 33-29, before a 25-8 run by the visitors created the separation over the final 10 minutes of play. In that span, Caudill would score 11 points, nine of three-balls in conjunction with a Shelly Reese three.
In addition to Harris, Caudill also finished in double-digits for the Lady Falcons scoring 14 points on the night. Hay, who concluded with a double-double, was the only Knight to finish in double-digits with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Pfeiffer did shoot 55.6% from behind the arc draining five three-pointers in each half going 10-for-18 as a team.
The Lady Falcons will get back to action beginning a three-game homestand on Thursday night against Limestone. St. Andrews will stay at home to entertain Belmont Abbey. Both contests will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Second prot warriors, the lowest dps tank gets yer love, brilliant.
If you get consistently beat by any tank (specially warr) as dps, you need to focus on becoming a better dps and whine less.
Vengance should be fixed so it doesnt stack on avoidable damage, nuiter tank damage the way you want and you'll lose half of the current tanks, myself included. I'll roll a dps then.
A brand new player would have no idea whats what and wouldnt cry like you do cause you cant beat tanks

PEMBROKE — Just a day after receiving word from federal officials that it has violated U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations by providing members monthly stipends, the Lumbee Tribal Council voted 13 to 5 Thursday to petition the Lumbee Supreme Court to remove Chairman Paul Brooks from office.
Tribal Council members will no longer receive stipends, which have totaled $735,000 since 2006 when federal officials said that such stipends are not an allowable use of HUD, which is supposed to be used just for providing housing services and housing-related programs.
According to Tribal Speaker Pearlean Revels, the petition asking the Supreme Court to remove Brooks from office will be filed with the Supreme Court as "soon as possible."
The petition said that Brooks has "violated his oath of office" by repeatedly acting outside of his authority as granted by the Lumbee Constitution and the powers granted him as head of Lumbee corporations. It said he had violated a Supreme Court order to hand over financial documents to the council, and used about $50,000 to purchase a lot at Pinecrest Village, a private subdivision, and a car for his personal use without approval from the 21-member Tribal Council.
Revels, after a closed session meeting, publicly read the petition calling for the ouster of the chairman.
"Removal may be the only way to save our tribe," Revels said, reading directly from the petition.
Brooks did not attend Thursday's meeting.
Council members voting in favor of the petition were Revels, McDuffie Cummings, Louise Mitchell, Larry Chavis, Terry Campbell, Bobby Oxendine, Robert Chavis, Anita Hammonds Blanks, Walter Lowery, Danita Locklear, Homer Fields, Terry Collins and William Maiden. Those opposing the petition were Terry Hunt, Evan Davenport, Lesaundri Hunt, Linda Revels and Jonathan Locklear.
Three council members, Steve Sampson, Charles Bullard and Larry Campbell, did not vote.
Council members Thursday were reeling from the financial review by HUD that showed the stipends have been awarded in violation of regulations. Although McDuffie Cummings. the council's Finance chairman, does not believe HUD will ask for the money back, HUD regulations allow for the possibility.
Council members and the chairman have been receiving a monthly stipend of $550. That's up from $250 a month in 2006.
According to a recent letter from HUD to Brooks and Revels, council members have continued to receive their monthly even though the federal agency had informed them in 2006 that the stipends were not an allowable use for the federal dollars.
"It is clear that LTNC (Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina) has ignored the directives provided … and in fact have increased the unallowable charges to the IHBG (Indian Housing Block Grant) to a payment rate which exceeds that which would be incurred by a prudent person under the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made to incur the cost," the letter reads.
HUD officials were in Robeson County in August to conduct the audit. The audit was the result of complaints HUD received about spending for certain programs, including those for tribal elders and veterans, stipends, and payment to the tribe's lawyer, Ed Brooks, the nephew of the tribal chairman.
On Wednesday, tribal administrators and council members met with a HUD official to discuss numerous complaints about tribal use of the federal money. According to documents, the official told the council that the stipends are not allowed. He also informed council members that the tribe must pay back $31,000 that was paid to Ed Brooks because procurement policies were violated.
Cummings said that there was no indication from the HUD official on Wednesday that the tribe would have to pay back any of the $735,000 in stipends.
According to tribal officials, there was also a discussion with HUD about how services for the tribe's elders and veterans are being funded. They said that there have been recent changes in HUD's regulations for how federal money can be spent.
"Programs for the elderly are not being cut," Revels said during Thursday's meeting, "but there were some problems with the services."
In other business, the council on Thursday:
— Approved an ordinance that designates tribal elders as the priority for housing rehabilitation.
— Approved the accounting firm of Preston Douglas & Associates to conduct the tribe's annual audit.
— Heard an update from state Rep. Charles Graham concerning recent state legislation that affects the Lumbee Tribe. Graham called the recent session of the General Assembly "very friendly to the Lumbee and state tribes in general." He specifically mentioned bills that: provide for the Lumbee Tribe to purchase the Indian Cultural Center property and the now closed Riverside Golf Course; provide guidance to the court system when there are child custody issues involving American Indian children; and allow the membership cards of American Indian tribes in North Carolina to be used for voter identification.
— Held the swearing in of Furnie Lambert as a member of the North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs. Also, the oath of office was administered to two Board of Elections members: Sheila Beck-Jones, a regular member, and Patricia Oxendine, an alternate member.

Giving Dogs the Freedom to Play Safely at Home
Giving Dogs the Freedom to Play Safely at Home
Do you want to keep your pet in a safe area without harming your pet, tearing up your yard, or allowing your pet to get out? Purchase an underground dog fence that will effectively contain your pet without the use of tight leashes, costly and ineffective fences, or extra crate time. Give your dog or cat the freedom to roam and the exercise it needs while giving yourself some peace of mind!
When you purchase a fence from us, we take care of the installation and training as well. Here's how it works: Our team of installation experts will work with you to customize the perimeter. Then, we plant a concealed transmission wire with non-intrusive equipment. A transmitter is then placed indoors in a safe area, like a basement or shed. The receiver is in the pet's collar, which can send your pet a tonal or static stimulus to correct the behavior of going beyond the boundary.
We value the loyalty of our customers and have worked hard to maintain a reputation of excellence. We are proud to have earned an A+ Rating from the Better Business Bureau and countless positive reviews from customers nationwide.
You have a lot of freedom when designing an electric fence. You can fence off one side of an area or an entire perimeter, or you can even contain fences within fences. For example, you can fence off your garden to prevent your dog or cat from digging in it. In addition to being able to provide a fence for an outdoor area or yard, we also have indoor solutions. Keep your pet away from the trash, out of expensively furnished rooms, or off of the counters. You can choose either the reliable RT-2 transmitter for small designated areas within the home or the easy-to-use T-4 transmitter. Also note that receivers come in different sizes based on the size and strength of your pet. Our system is great for dogs and cats alike!
When looking for an electric fence service, it's important to have a few guarantees. These are a few of ours. First of all, all of our products are produced entirely within the United States. This means that you won't be getting poor-quality, imported materials when we install your wireless dog fence. Also, you'll have a limited lifetime warranty on the receiver, which is also waterproof and incredibly powerful. We'll replace the receiver for free if needed. In addition, our systems come with a containment guarantee. If our systems don't keep your pet in the yard, we will refund your money.
When you buy an out-of-sight wireless pet fence from Dog Guard, you can have it installed by us as well. In addition, our pet behavior specialists will do extensive training with your pet so that it can learn its new boundaries. We do the training with you, the pet owner, and provide as many training sessions as necessary. Each pet is different, but training usually happens in several stages over the course of two to three weeks. Using temporary flag markers and classic conditioning techniques, the behavior specialist can complete tone training, correction training, off-leash training, and proofing sessions. This limitless amount of training sessions is what sets us apart from our competitors.
Our systems are veterinarian-approved, offering a simple and effective way to keep your dog contained in a safe area. A Dog Guard electric fence emits a small static shock, similar to the sensation of touching a doorknob after scuffing one's socks along the floor. It's harmless, and yet, it's effective, in that the dog will quickly learn to avoid it. After extensive training, the pet will also not need to be corrected constantly, as it will be given time to learn where the boundaries are. Most pets will never sustain more than two or three corrections. Also, we can help you choose one of the 32 stimulus levels along with the right kind of receiver collar to make sure that your pet is getting the right level of stimulus.
Since 1988, Dog Guard has been helping families and pets with its reliable systems and excellent customer service. Today, it offers a nationwide dealer network, serving thousands of customers each year. Everyone, from the manufacturers to individual state dealers, cares about you and your pet, and we seek to provide the best customer experience possible. If you have questions, feel free to contact us at 1-800-865-0495 or fill out our contact form.

Match Tours are the latest addition to the Tire Rack SCCA National Solo Series. These events are three events in one package. The event starts off with a Saturday minimum four run Autocross, then a two run Last Chance Qualifier on Sunday morning, followed by the final show down coming together in Evolution Super Shootout. The Shootout format allows the forty-eight fastest drivers to mix with the top eight ladies, as well as eight random drawn drivers in a four ladder tournament to see who can take home the big prize. The top 32 qualifiers and Top 8 ladies are determined from the events overall PAX results, and are then locked into their positions for the Sunday Super Shootout. Once those drivers are locked in to the Shootout, the rest of the competitors get a second chance in the Last Chance Qualifier. Following the LCQ the top 16 are brought into the Super Shootout bringing the total number to 56. The remaining 8 Super Shootout positions will be from a random drawing of any that have not made the top 56 spots, bringing the total to 64. With the field complete, the 64 competitors are plugged into a bracket system and run against one another until only one remains.
