Move home with our best mortgage rates
If you already have a Nationwide mortgage and you're looking to move, then you may be pleased to hear that our mortgages are 'portable' which means you may be able to take your existing mortgage with you to your next home.The flexibility to 'port' your existing mortgage means that you can choose to keep your existing mortgage and take any additional borrowing you may need on a new mortgage product with us. Alternatively you can start a new mortgage product from scratch (paying any early repayment charges that are due on your existing mortgage).
This means you pay a lower rate during the deal period than a new mortgage customer on the same product. We don't offer 'new customer only deals' as we don't think it's fair.
We're proud to say we have the best customer satisfaction amongst our major high street competitors*, but if something does go wrong we aim to resolve it quickly - to our members' and customers' satisfaction.
Our mortgage calculator will tell you how much we could lend you based on your income and outgoings.
If you've not moved for a while remind yourself of what's involved. We have guides to help you through the process of buying a new home and selling your current home.

YOUNGSTOWN — Police arrested seven protesters today after they blocked trucks from entering and leaving a D&L Energy well site.
At about noon, protestors stood in front of a truck leaving the Ohio Works Drive brine injection well.
Police Chief Rod Foley ordered their arrests after speaking to the protest's organizer, Ben Shapiro, who was one of the seven arrested.
In the exchange, Shapiro told Foley they were willing to be arrested without resistance.
After the exchange, Foley order the group's arrests, charging the seven with disorderly conduct.
Foley said they will be arraigned Thursday.
Put the bums in the slammer until after New Years day . There is no reason to overload our courts with their nonsense .
Nothing wrong with standing up for something you believe in. Because you may not agree with someone, don't knock them for it, at least they are doing something..
Protesting is one thing, but blocking others from doing their work is something I do not agree with. That is what the courts and the legal system is designed to do.
Of course the truck driver could not run over the scumbag and get away with it....at least not in lib land!
To everyone: do not sign any leases with D&L Energy! They are shady in every way! Especially Nick P. Stay away from them. They will tie up your land for 10 years, that's not all they will do. Beware!
"Nothing wrong with standing up for something you believe in."
And what exactly are they standing up for?
"Because you may not agree with someone, don't knock them for it, at least they are doing something."
Blocking people that are trying to work for a living? They can yell and protest all they want but don't stop someone from making a living.
That is just wrong.
I heard the same thing.
D&L, Chesapeake, Shell, Mobil Exon...all have leases designed heavily in their favor and are usually 1 to 4 pages long. Never sign a lease brought to you by those who will benefit from it.
If you truely want to protect yourself and your property, bring your own 30+ page lease agreement, as in one drawn up by an attorney or a landowners association which is designed to protect you and limit the drillers. Believe me, they are signing them!
The protesters today were targeting V&M Star and D&L Energy . Both are companies doing business in Youngstown . After seeing how they are treated who in their right mind would now want to invest in Youngstown ?
V&M just invested ANOTHER $57 million in Youngstown.
rocky14 :
V&M just invested ANOTHER $57 million in Youngstown."
I would not have if I was targeted by the protesters . Most of those protesting are not amongst the ranks of the employed . They don't have a clue as to how much the oil and gas industry plus its support structure does for our quality of life . . ..
That's why you don't own a company.
They go where they can make money.Bottom line.
rocky14 :
"That's why you don't own a company.
They go where they can make money.Bottom line."
Companies stay in business providing either services or a product . None of which you provide . BS is neither a service nor a product . . .. The demonsrators are a segment of society out for more handouts with no contribution . Their goal is neither clear nor concise . I see it as feeble minds that have found a cause .
rjbook :
You must be an addict to our welfare system that seeks to end the oppression of employment in industry for others . I dont expect you to understand the correlation between industry and the wealth and strength of this nation .
Crude Oil is toxic and the chemicals injected during a frack are no more so . Your hand soap ,if you use any, is as toxic as the frack chemicals .
"The message is CLEAR NO FRACKING OR INJECTING TOXIC CHEMICALS INTO OUR GROUND!!!!!! "
Hmm, hate to burst your bubble but Toxic Chemicals are in our lives EVERYDAY.... Toxic chemicals are in our air, water, soil, food, and in our bodies.
Ever hear of these everyday toxic chemicals?
Radon, Lead, Carbon monoxide, Arsenic, Vinyl chloride, Hydrofluoric acid, Solvents, Disinfectants, Pesticides and so much more......
What about lead? Look at all the deaths that can be attributed to severe lead poisoning in the South Side 'hood!
I see no ban the bullets demonstrations . .. Yep, high velocity lead is very toxic . ..
rjbook :
Spermicide on a condom has a higher degree of toxicity than frack water . Shouldn't you be demonstrating to ban the use of spermicide ?
has anyone contacted our water suppliers to see what baseline has been established and what is being done to monitor these chemicals?
We are a society in demand of more energy than ever before. Even the words typed in this comment are done so with the use of energy. Coal, Nuclear, Gas and Oil are all required by us to live our daily lives and we cannot live without it.
My concern is with knowledge of past oil company history. Despite providing us with our vital energy needs, oil company history reminds me they are not the best stewarts of their products and processes. I have seen this first hand on my own property. This needs to change.
It is easy to purchase fuel and energy when it comes from generic sources far from our homes, but when the energy is coming from our back yard and brings with it all the unwanted issues, it brings the hair on the back of my neck to attention.
Get serious ! If you dont want to participate in the benefits that is your choice . Scap the car and sever the gasline from the house . This way you wont be contributing to the problem that you perceive .
Constructor -Well said.
INTERFERING and OBSTRUCTING!!! - -Is that what the colonies did to Britain ? Would the Boston Tea Party come under that heading ?
"Of course, this will please the posters on here who don't want to see things like OWS or people protesting against gas companies drilling on their property. "
If you want to protest do it the right way, cut out everything that uses gas in your life. Kind of contradicting yourself when you use and need the gas everyday.
Lifes2Short I would think almost all the protesters aren't against the use of gas but rather the particular method used to extract it.
To my knowledge there hasn't exactly been a huge shortage of natural gas . The oil companies were famous for yelling shortage when in fact there is still plenty of oil.Its not the use its the extraction method.
I am still waiting for the feeble minded to lead the way . Have you scrapped your car yet ? Got that gas line severed and removed from the house ? LEAD FOLLOW OR GET OUT OF THE WAY !
Energy companies are the very foundation of our security and way of life . Fighter jets, tanks and ships are fueled by petroleum products . Oil and gas production is responsible for our meals, housing and even hauling the feeble minded to the demonstration sites . Ever hear the term " if you got it a truck brought it" ? The trucking industry is fueled by petroleum products derived by fracking geological formations containing oil and gas .
And how would you extract it? And don't you think there taking every precaution to protect the Earth? Or do you think there doing it on purpose? If there was a better way don't you think they would do it? Just saying.
These protestors are so obviously sweet and well-intentioned, to hear the words, "arrested for disorderly conduct," seems almost a joke. Except, it's not. Apparently, a lot of the commenters on this site, just don't get it. Please, get educated about fracking water. Understand that if you don't have a healthy environment, you don't get a future.
But, my message is for the protestors themselves, "Kudos to you! Fight on! Somebody has to, and you are tomorrow's world. If anybody has a right to resist, it's you, our youth. Now that you have been arrested, you can put it on your resume. Everyone who puts themselves out there for a good cause, such as protecting the environment, should know this is something to be proud of. Keep up the great work!" OCCUPY Bergen County
aryafj :
Perhaps you can truly lead the way !
Petroleum products by their very nature are toxic and deadly . Cars propelled by hydrocarbons kill people . Homes using natural gas explode from gas leaks .
Fracking has been removing oil and gas from the ground for years . These deadly hydrocarbons have been used by farmers to create bumper crops contributing to obesity . Yes, yes, I am begining to see the light . . ..
Regardless of anyone believes, there is money to be made in Youngstown.
southsidedave :
"Regardless of anyone believes, there is money to be made in Youngstown."
You bet ! Big fines and large bonds on the protesters is a start !
"Understand that if you don't have a healthy environment, you don't get a future."
And fracking is going to be the end of the World and environment? What about the other pollutants? There OK? Hmmm maybe to have some creditability maybe you can live off the land in some faraway place. That would really prove yourself and your protest.
THE CRACK in youngstown creates more pollution- and road kill- - these dopes are the reason why y-town remains a crack empire where other states ship their garbage to.
The arrests are a sterling example of who owns the police ... not ordinary Americans exercising their 1st Amendment rights. The police should be joining the protesters and protecting the demonstrators. Blocking that truck was exactly the right thing to do in this circumstance. It's called non-resistant civil disobedience and it draws attention to a cause.
"We should be proud that the basic guarantees of free speech and assembly are at the core of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Those who would deprive us of these "inalienable rights" are the real radicals. Let no group or party exploit what many of us see as the growth of ignorance and indifference in society. Policies that lead to short-sighted political and economic gain will be easily seen for what they are. The best guarantee for our future and that of our children will, and has always been, educated, active citizens. So, when it comes to "Occupy Main Street," let us not forget that these are Americans, ourselves in fact, who are exercising their rights and duties as citizens. And by exercising them, they preserve them for everyone."

Wow it amazes me that people think Fracking is going to be the end of it all. Look outside and see all the pollutants in our everyday lives...
Just a few...
air pollution
water pollution
land pollution
noise pollution
Environmentalists never said that everything occurring naturally in the Earth is safe.
Again some of you must be reminded that you are responsible for your own bad circumstances ... because you're beyond stupid. You either do not know or you choose to ignore the plentiful evidence that fracking is deadly.
So stay relaxed. Have another cup of cancer and another slice of heart disease. See you in hell.

"Again some of you must be reminded that you are responsible for your own bad circumstances ... because you're beyond stupid.
Humor me, beyond what bad circumstances? Fracking? Seriously? Fracking going to be the end of the World? Wow, thanks for the headups.....smh at such stupidity...
" You either do not know or you choose to ignore the plentiful evidence that fracking is deadly. "
Humor me once again......explain evidence that fracking is deadly?
"Hydro-fracking has a long history of success. First introduced in 1908, forty years later it became a commercially viable method to safely extract America's most abundant energy from bedrock strata. Over one million gas wells have been fracked without a single incident of environmental impact. This didn't stop Ian Urbina of the New York Times from citing a case from 1984 in an Aug 2011 article warning of tainted water and the possibility of benzene in fracking fluid.
Fracking fluid secret ingredients are not secret at all. EPA and state government Dept. of Environmental Conservation agencies require energy companies to file Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for every chemical used on the drill site, period.
Ninety percent of fracking fluid is water with 9.5% sand the other half percent the secret ingredients, common household chemicals we all flush daily into the municipal gray water system.

webad may be toying with some deadly chemicals of his own causing the latest outburst . Of course liberals need them to be able to function but I suggest that he does it in moderation .
The Kish Landfill is polluting the aquifer 24/7 . Where have any gas wells in the area done so ?
"Ask the people of Demic Pa. or the residents of Dish Tx. how they like the water in there wells."
• Fracking causes cancer. In Dish, Texas, Mayor Calvin Tillman caused a furor this year by announcing that he was quitting to move his sons away from "toxic" gases—such as cancer-causing benzene—from the town's 60 gas wells. State health officials investigated and determined that toxin levels in the majority of Dish residents were "similar to those measured in the general U.S. population." Residents with higher levels of benzene in their blood were smokers. (Cigarette smoke contains benzene.)
All of this growth has inevitably attracted critics, notably environmentalists and their allies. They've launched a media and political assault on hydraulic fracturing, and their claims are raising public anxiety. So it's a useful moment to separate truth from fiction in the main allegations against the shale revolution.
My interests are cheap fuel sources and abundant food supplies . Oil and Gas companies fuel our way of life . Who wants to live in squalor being hungry and cold ?
Another person that is misinformed. "
How am I misinformed? Do you have any facts about Fracking and water contamination? Didn't think so....
to stan and other angry gas company supporters: we're not all crackheads, thugs, bums, and tree huggers that are opposed to the current and past way the gas companies are handling their business, if you will. Some of us just want to continue our way of life farming the land that has been in our families for generations and see it here and usable for generations to come, and that just ain't happenning. They are knocking on our doors and lying through their teeth. they'll tell you it's just like drilling a water well - it ain't. they'll tell you all that they'll leave behind is the size of a garbage can - it ain't. they'll tell you it won't effect your land and then turn around and leave you with fields that will never grow anything again. they'll tell you the reason your cows are dropping dead have nothing to do with the junk that smells like rotten eggs and burnt hair that they dumped all over your pastures. the lies never stop. then to top everything off when you think it can't get any worse, they sell the leases to a chinese or indian company (that's "India" Indians for all you dim bulbs out there)
southbelle22 :
Park and scrap that car .
Sever and remove that gas line from your house .
Quit eating ? Yep, food is trucked in and farmers use plenty of fuel to produce crops .
Together in unison we can stop the drilling ! Those deadly hydrocarbons need to be left locked in the ground . Who needs them ?
stan, its china calling. they said thanks for your support and all the cheap gas. keep up the good work commie!
southbelle22 :
Use drugs in moderation . I would tell you to quit using them but then you would call me rude and insensitive .
Some would have you believe that this type of Fracking is the only way to get at gas and oil and only here. It kind of makes you wonder how natural gas and oil were removed in the past. Were homes heated and cars driven before the big shale idea?The answer is yes!
Reminds me of the difference between unsafe retreat mining where profits are maximized but safety compromised and other safer mining methods. The coal is still removed only in a safer and more expensive method to the coal companies.
It is so nice of our politicians to allow all the chemical water from other states to come here.If it is so safe why don't they want it ??????
We can import LNG and crude oil so there is no need for any drilling . The Arabs need the money and we can afford to pay a lot more . . ..
Pennsylvania , Texas , Alaska ECT. I guess my point was drilling happened here in the good old USA and cars ran, farmers farmed , homes were heated and I don't recall anything about chemical water being used.
Exonmobile makes a lot more money than the host . They made the record profits when the stock market was peaking and oil prices were at record highs.
They are owned by the Rockefeller s who are known to care that people in Youngstown get cheap gas.
Well Bigben you certainly don't care about the people of Youngstown or their ability to have cheap gas to heat with and cheap petroleum products to help supply them with food . . ..
Sure I do Stan I just don't believe the Rockefeller's will deliver it any cheaper given their track record. Lets get those petroleum products we need by the safer methods.
These methods of extraction have been used for decades . We enjoyed very cheap fuel until drilling was suppressed . Your ideas will make fuel a luxury that only the very rich will afford . Let's keep oil and gas a commodity for the masses . DRILL BABY DRILL !
There are natural gas wells on the farm I hunt on in southern Trumbull and they produce just fine without chemical water .
"These methods of extraction have been used for decades" - -And yet we have seen huge fluctuations in prices . You have more faith in the existence of a free market system where the Exxon mobiles won't gouge us . I am more skeptical and I don't like the chemicals .I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
Your car will run just fine without a fillup until it runs out . . ..
LOL. I'll be sure to fill up.
I hate to burst your bubble but every well in production in Trumbull County has been hydrofractured . Many of these wells have depleted the producing strata and are prime candidates for plugging . Can you say running on empty ? . . ..
These wells were not horizontally hydrofractured and they are still producing. Running on full.
Are you arguing that the water people drink can in no way be poisoned from this horizontally hydrofractured drilling? I have to tell you I like driving and having heat and I also like water because I need it to live. Maybe you don't place a high value on water but without it driving becomes rather trivial real fast. A few days without water and your gas worries are over.Water vs gas -water wins.
Why are other states shipping their chemical water here instead of dealing with it in their own states?
When that can of beans has had the contents shook out you can still scrape the can for a spoonful . Those Trumbull County wells were injected with the same chemicals as those horizontal wells of today . Sanitary sewers taking your flush to the treatment plant are much deadlier to drink than frack water . The solution ? Resist the urge to drink either one .
This winter we should ban the use of all road salt . Shut the highways down when they get icy . Salt hasn't affected the grass growing alongside the roads . The grass is lush and still needs mowed . Those dead deer that you see on the highways were not killed by the grass, salt or frack water .
The solution to keep those protesting drilling happy is to stop drilling . We can import all that we need from the Middle East . LNG tankers can haul natural gas for heating and refined products such as gasoline and diesel fuel can be hauled by conventional tankers . This will eliminate the need for any refineries . We can afford the much higher prices .
We have have drilled, hydrofractured and produced here in the states for many decades . Too much is taken for granted and the uninformed are eliminating their future from life as we know it today by stopping drilling activities . Hyper inflation will result and the average person will be forced to live in squalor .
" Those Trumbull County wells were injected with the same chemicals as those horizontal wells of today . Sanitary sewers taking your flush to the treatment plant are much deadlier to drink than frack water ."
- - - -- -If that is so then why doesn't Pennsylvania and Texas want that chemical water.Why are we taking the water they don't want.You haven't answered that question.
"We can import all that we need from the Middle East ." - -- Haven't your boys been doing that for years.
I hate to burst your bubble Stan but there is no free market it is controlled by the big boys and if there is hyperinflation which I can see coming it is because our money is worthless and it is worthless because it is backed by nothing.The oil middle men were famous for price fixing.It wouldn't matter if we used corn , oil or the sun itself those who have the money make the rules and they don't care about me or Stan only themselves.
Politics and energy = HIGH PRICES
The stupidity of the masses = unequivocal support
"Politics and energy = HIGH PRICES " - - -True look at all the politicians that have been bought in Ohio recently even the ODNR.
"The stupidity of the masses = unequivocal support" - -Yep.
The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 exempted hydraulic fracturing from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act, so that drillers do not have to provide lists of what chemicals are used.
Being that the wells in Trumbull I mentioned have existed since at least 1995 your theory " Those Trumbull County wells were injected with the same chemicals as those horizontal wells of today ." ....
The intellectually compromised will support their living in squalor for a phanton cause . Dishwashing soap and laundry detergents have much in common with frack chemicals and there is no movement to end their use . Ending their use would not be tolerated . Their exact formulas are also proprietary .
If you desire to live third world you will get your wish when drilling is stopped and the total collapse of our economy can't be stopped . Our economy and way of life are dependent on cheap energy .
"Dish washing soap and laundry detergents have much in common with frack chemicals and there is no movement to end their use ." - -This is conjecture .
". . . .way of life are dependent on cheap energy " -- -I don't know how long you have been around but I can recall gas lines as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s.
Many excuses were given for the "shortage". There was no shortage any more than there was a shortage in 2007 when gas spiraled upward .It has gone up and down over the decades .The excuses ranged from were going to run out to not enough processing facilities.It was all hogwash.The big boys set the prices regardless of how much is available because they can and who will stop them? There is nothing you or I can do to change it .If the powers that be decide that we won't use cars anymore ..we won't.They run the world Stan and that is the truth.
Our way of life is changing and will continue to change.The government will continue to buy more private land and put it in the hands of the wealthy elite.We will continue to see jobs go over seas, we will continue to see unions weakened and broken.We will continue to see more government intrusion into our lives and less privacy and an evaporation of the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
You may or may not realize this but it has already been planned.So you can wish for cheap fuel but it isn't coming for the reasons already described.Can we stop the big boys from poisoning the water ? -- I doubt it.Will fuel be cheaper? - - -No. Will it go to China ? Could very well be and wouldn't that be a slap in the face?This old world is going to hell in a hand basket and the only thing that will save it is the return of the good Lord.
"". . . .way of life are dependent on cheap energy " -- -I don't know how long you have been around but I can recall gas lines as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s."
We had a shortage when the Arabs shut off the flow . Drilling here in the states told them where to go . Stop the drilling and give them the advantage once again . . .. Bountiful energy equals bountiful freedom for all . . ..
We had a shortage when the Arabs shut off the flow . - - -Carter shut off the oil imports from Iran causing prices to soar even though Saudi Arabia increased production and exports.
Drill at home -sure but responsibly.
"They are knocking on our doors and lying through their teeth."
Then just "no" to your land. Not to difficult.
Although this article deals with the topic of fracking, I can tell you that in Trumbull County that there has been a huge sweep over the last couple of years for folks to replace or repair their old systems or if sewer is available it has been mandatory to tie in.
I have read that there are up to 595 chemicals in the fracking fluid through captured samples . As it stands now due to the 2005 ACT drillers are exempt from providing lists of them. So how can real monitoring happen ? If there is nothing to hide why the exemption ?
Do some research of folks who have had issues out west and then after you have studied from all sides make up your own mind ? I would be in favor of the drilling if it were safe and done responsibly. Additionally we don't know whether this will go to Asia instead of right at home.
Bigben :
Septic tank fluids are injested by many on a daily basis . These fluids contain a smorgasbord of chemicals and bio hazards that are far deadlier than salty frack water . Frack water issues are more of a class warfare brought about by those whose concers have overwhelmed the news . Try to ban leaky septic tanks flowing into water wells and you will have a real fight . . ...
This is just one study . Pennsylvania was contaminated with radioactivity long before the drilling boom . Rain and melting snow washes it into the drainage system . The cliffs alongside of the rivers have plenty of hotspots . The material from drilling goes into pits and is encased . The material from the cliffs oozes into the streams as it has for many centuries .
An occurrence of uranium in Carbon County, Pa0 was known as early as 1874 when Genth (1875)
reported autunite near Mauch Chunk but did not give the exact location of the occurrence,, In 1912 Wherry
(1912) described an occurrence of carnotite northwest of Mauch Chunk, which he believed to be the one
reported by Genth. More recently, McKeown (1949) found an occurrence of uranium southeast of Mauch
Chunk. In July 1953 two occurrences of uranium north of Mauch Chunk were discovered by the writers during
a reconnaissance for radioactive materials.
Stan "Septic tank fluids are injested by many on a daily basis . These fluids contain a smorgasbord of chemicals and bio hazards that are far deadlier than salty frack water ."- - - I don't buy that. Formaldehyde and 590 plus cousins are pretty nasty stuff.I don't wish to drink either but I know that there is a lot of frack water coming not just from Ohio but from other states -millions upon millions of gallons.If someone has pee in their well water due to contamination does that man its OK to drink a chemical cocktail as well.I don't see the logic in that at all.
Jessiedavid -- I agree clean drinking water is important.I thought you guys would be happy about the steps that have been taken in Trumbull.I guess you won't be researching on the problems with fracking fluid contaminating water then? If that is the case that is fine.
To whomever it may concern,
If I have the argument down correctly since some septic systems can pollute well water it is OK to potentially further pollute that well and other wells that are not polluted. Just wanted to make sure I had it right.
But, to be credible about doing what's positively right for the environment we MUST do away with fracking, and ALL OTHER forms of pollution that are listed at the EPA web site, to really make our drinking water safe. - - - Remember ask yourself if it makes sense to create more problems because other problems exist? Texas doesn't seem to think so.Fracking soup is being shipped here from Texas and they have lots of agriculture there .Pennsylvania has lots of dairy they don't think so either and prefer to ship it here. New York may fall into that category as well.when you put that much fluid into one area -ours - you exponentially INCREASE the the danger of poisoning the water.
We can test water for all the contamination you mention and then address the problem as is being done in Trumbull.How do we do that with Fracking when the chemical soup is magically EXEMPT ???????????????? How do you regulate something you know is in the fluid but officially doesn't EXIST ?????
Frack water isn't being dumped into your water well but septic system fluids are . So when illness resuls surely a well being fracked ten miles away wont be blamed . Right ?
Landfills are not only exempt but pollute the greatest . The dangers of fracking wells are more political than they are real .
Jessiedavid, Here are a few .
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitts... "Of the 2.4 million barrels of fracking water injected into Ohio disposal wells last fall, 39 percent came from other states. During the first three months of this year, 49 percent came from out of state, Tomastik said."
http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/arti... also recently agreed to take wastewater from Texas.
http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/arti... "Ohio also recently agreed to take wastewater from Texas." - -I forgot the quotation marks and the word Ohio .
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitts... has six active deep-injection disposal wells, all in Somerset, Clearfield, Beaver and Erie counties, but state Department of Environmental Protection records show drillers tapping the state's gas-rich Marcellus shale rely completely on Ohio to take their waste. Companies sent nearly 14.8 million gallons for underground disposal in the last six months of 2010, the most recent statistics available."- - -Thought I would save folks some time on this one.
Stan - - - "The dangers of fracking wells are more political than they are real ." - -So again why the exemption? Again why do other states not want it? Texas ? I think the one article I posted mentioned Indiana is considering shipping their fracking fluid.There are a lot of states between here and Texas. Is it because we are so smart ?Are we so nice? Or are we a toilet?
We quit manufacturing here in The States . The Chinese are manufacturing for us . Is it because we are so smart ? The word of the day is "convenience" .
Convenience is anything that is intended to save resources (time, energy) or frustration.
Stan, Is it convenient for Texas to ship there fracking fluid all the way to Ohio?
Wanting something good for the area is wonderful.However, when other states don't want it that causes me to stop and question why.
If the technology exists to do so called clean fracking why isn't it being done ? Telling us someday maybe does no good right now.Wouldn't it make sense to remove the exemption and put the recycling of the fracking fluid in place before drilling?Wouldn't that be positive?
If you think the water that the EPA monitors that many of us drinks would be worse than water poisoned by 590 plus chemicals you are mistaken.If offered a choice between a cup of fracking fluid or a cup water from Meander untreated I don't know about you but I am going with the latter.
No brine from Texas to my knowledge has been injected in our area that I know of . Many thousands of gallons of leachate from the landfills is exempt and flowing . A lot of it is from New York garbage disposed of here .
"I'm guessing that's because it is has not yet tested as reliable as the present technology, and despite all of the hysteria from the fracking protesters, about the present technology, there are not enough good reasons to wait. ' -
- -Yes we disagree. I think waiting would be the prudent thing to do since the gas isn't going any where and we are talking an awful lot of volume.
'...will help force healthy competition, and the cleaner fracking technology will therefore become a reality, sooner rather than later."
- -I hope so but I am skeptical. I think the big boys have agreed to put the clean concept on the back burner.That exemption in 2005 makes it impossible for the watch dogs to protect us. So into the foreseeable future they can do as they please.I pray for the families with kids especially that God watches over them when things go sour.
God Bless,
"No brine from Texas to my knowledge has been injected in our area that I know of ." - --I have shown you that Texas is shipping fracking waste fluids to Ohio. How can you say they are not shipping it here or near here with any certainty? It is a long haul from Texas to Ohio.
New York trash: Don't forget New Jersey and I am sure others. So that means we are a toilet and take all the fracking waste fluids from as many states as we can ? What is next nuclear waste?
I don't see the logic.
Nuclear energy is being generated on the shores of Lake Erie with little fanfare . The Two Mile island meltdown contaminated both Pennsylvania and Ohio . Landfill leachate flows many thousands of gallons daily . There is a several mile hole under Lake Erie from salt mining . Thousands of tons of salt are then dumped on the roadways every winter . Millions of gallons of sewage with feces are processed and dumped onto the streams and Lake Erie daily . In comparison the problems with well drilling have been very minimal .
Stan ,
"Nuclear energy is being generated on the shores of Lake Erie with little fanfare:" - --At least one of them has had a leak. Sounds like we don't need more troubles.
Lets bash the drilling more to divert attention from the other crap . . ..
Lets address problems with the former and not neglect the latter.

PowerMundo: Power for the Poor
Rice University is now holding the final leg of its business plan competition. For the first time, it's also running a competition for social ventures. Six companies are vying for a $10,000 prize.
One of the six is a company called PowerMundo, which won the top prize at the William James Foundation's business plan competition last month. It's very impressive.
The target market is the billions of people around the world without access to electricity, who use kerosene lamps or camp fires for light and, also, have virtually no access to news, except for battery-operated radios (when they can afford batteries). PowerMundo's solution is to sell such simple, low-cost products as biomass cook stoves, wind-up radios, and solar lanterns to low-income households, focusing first on the poorest communities in Peru. After that, they'll expand to other countries in Latin America and Africa.
In a short period of time–perhaps a few months–consumers can recoup their investment. For example, a solar lantern costs $30, but it eliminates the need to shell out $10 a month for kerosene. Plus, it emits less air pollution and CO2. There's also an economic development part to PowerMundo's plan, by offering locals the chance to become distributors.
PowerMundo, by the way, sounds a little like D.light, a company funded by the likes of Nexus India Capital, Garage Technology Ventures and Acumen Fund, among others. It also seeks to sell low-cost solar-powered alternatives to kerosene lamps. There was recently a story in Fortune about it and how it grew out of a Stanford University Graduate School of Business course called Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability.
Here's a video about PowerMundo. You get a feel for the process that founder Michael Callahan went through to fine-tune his plan.

Tory MPs opposed to gay marriage are holding a meeting in the next hour to discuss next Tuesday's second reading of the Bill, I understand. The meeting is being co-ordinated by, among others, David Burrowes, who has been a vocal opponent of the reforms.
One of the things that is particularly upsetting the MPs is that there will be a three-line whip on the programme motion for the vote. The legislation itself will be a free vote, but the vote on how it is scrutinised will be whipped, which is leading some MPs to argue that this isn't a really free vote. Those opposed to the legislation want it debated by a committee of the whole house, not a public bill committee staffed with loyal MPs. Peter Bone tells me:
'To whip a vote for the programme motion, that's clearly undemocratic, it's deceitful, it's just the sort of thing that we do not want to see.'
One problem for MPs who do not want to rebel against a whip but for various reasons want to use the free vote to reject the legislation is that supporting the programme motion will be read by their constituency parties as tacit support for the legislation itself. Another MP tells me:
'I would like it if my car broke down that day and I didn't have to deal with this.'
Paul Goodman outlined the likelihood of the programme motion causing real problems in a blog recently, and the chances of Labour trying to humiliate the government by siding with the anti-gay marriage Tories is pretty low on this issue. But a three-line whip could still cause damage to delicate relations in the Conservative party when the free vote itself was so important.

The morning. I'm bringing 'morn' back!
"This fair morn"

This is cross between mommy and porn. Specifically related to books.
For example, "50 Shades of Gray" is considered mommy-porn hence the word morn. It has a double meaning. It's kind of sad that mommies read this, but it's not spelled like "mourn" as in mourning. It's "morn" to make it funny.

Oklahoma State football notebook: Mike Gundy gives team a break for laughs
Still sensing an emotional hangover from the Bedlam loss, Cowboys coach Mike Gundy asked his team to do something different Sunday night.
Laugh a little.
OSU skipped its regular Sunday night practice, instead catching some standup comedy in the team's meeting room, via Netflix.
"Everybody's somber and down," Gundy said. "And the truth of the matter is, our defense played (103) plays. Offense was up around 70-something. And there were special teams.
"We're in our eighth week straight. We had this beautiful schedule where we played a game and had an open date, played a game and had an open date. So now we're on an eight-week stretch here. We felt like they needed a break."
Gundy said he decided "30 minutes before the meeting," to give the players a choice to watch some comics, or practice.
An easy choice.
"We turned the lights off and they laughed and had the best time," Gundy said. "And when it was over, we watched tape and graded it, ate dinner and sent them home.
"It kind of changed who they were at that time. They felt better about it."
Gundy didn't pick the comedians, instead allowing the players to suggest who to watch from the Netflix library.
As far as running back Joseph Randle is concerned, it's just another example of Gundy being a player's coach.
"You can play for somebody, but it doesn't mean you respect them as a coach and a person," Randle said. "But Coach Gundy is definitely somebody that you can look at and you respect him. He cares about his players.
"He's always good for a couple of random things. And I think it'll pay off for us next week."
Saturday's setback marked OSU's fourth loss of the season. After the previous three, the Cowboys always had a positive response: a win.
Now they're pressed to do it again, after Saturday's difficult setback in Norman.
"It's just something that we have to put behind us," said offensive lineman Lane Taylor. "This year, we've done a great job of bouncing back after Arizona, Texas and Kansas State.
"This team has already dealt with this situation, and we'll be able to put it in the past."
After losing at Arizona, the Cowboys beat Louisiana-Lafayette. Following Texas, they won at Kansas. And after falling at Kansas State, they beat West Virginia.

Will RBI effect an interest rate cut? Here are 5 must-know factors that show way forward.
WPI inflation decelerated to a 5-month low of 6.2% in Dec13, compared to 7.5% in Nov13. The inflation number for Oct13 has been revised 24 bps upwards from 7.0% to 7.24%.
However, tracked on year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, inflation at wholesale level in primary article and fuel and power continue to grow in excess of 10%.
The manufactured sector inflation has shown definite signs of cooling as reflected in y-o-y inflation and also the buildup figures from Mar13. On the retail front, CPI (Combined) inflation also declined to 9.87% (Rural: 10.49% & Urban: 9.11%) in Dec13 from a high of 11.16% in Nov13.
Based on the latest updates, it appears that WPI inflation may settle around 6% and CPI inflation around 9% by Feb14.
Sub-9% CPI inflation is a possibility if WPI inflation contracts at a faster pace and as we draw closer to election season whose announcement is likely in Feb14. An overall assessment therefore suggests that a rate cut is likely only in the next financial year.

Prized by design engineers for its enviable strength-to-weight ratio and high modulus, titanium has made its way in recent years into all sorts of high-tech products from turbine engines to bicycle frames. Now, a new toothbrush with a titanium dioxide core in its handle has hit the market in Europe and the US. Developed by the Osaka-based Shiken Corp., the Soladey toothbrush leverages the electrochemical behavior of titanium dioxide to reportedly reduce bacteria in your mouth. Studies have shown that exposure to UV light induces antibacterial activity in titanium dioxide (TiO2).
But are people buying the concept? The NYT reports in its article "Brushing Innovations, Built on Titanium," that this new twist on the venerable old toothbrush may take some getting used to: "People think it's hocus-pocus," said Erik Powers, of Powers International in Henderson, Nev., who has recently started importing the $29.95 no-toothpaste Soladey brush to the US. "If you put this on the shelf next to a 99-cent toothbrush, which would you buy?" If it works, I guess it rules out brushing your teeth in the dark.

The New York Jets gained some confidence in their effort to win the AFC East. Brett Favre led the Jets with 201 passing yards but did not throw a TD pass. Thomas Jones ran for a touchdown. Bills' Trent Edwards threw two interceptions and a TD pass to tight end Derek Fine. Jay Feely would seal the deal with a field goal.
The Lions were impressive but fell short to Chicago. Dan Orlovsky was 28/47 with 292 yards and two touchdown passes. One to Calvin Johnson the other to Shaun McDonald. However the Bears would over come the Lions offense and win. Kyle Orton got injured with a high ankle sprain and is expected to be out for a month. Rex Grossman came in and threw a TD pass to Rashied Davis.
The Bengals picked up their first win and are still technically in playoff contention. Ryan Fitzpatrick finally had a good game throwing two touchdown passes both to Chad Ocho Cinco-Johnson. Cedric Benson also ran for a touchdown. The once dominating and fearful Jaguars team is now just looking like a bunch of pussy cats out there. Maurice Jones-Drew scored a touchdown late, but they could not score the two point conversion.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Culture's Power Houses; The Museum Becomes An Engine of Urban Redesign
Published: April 21, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
Still, if the United States would no longer produce Levi's, it would nonetheless continue to produce images of Levi's. In advertising campaigns, movies, television programs, music videos and fashion magazines, Levi's would figure as signs of youthfulness, sexuality, informality, the great American style. The archetypal American uniform had shifted categories, in other words. It had left the field of industrial manufacturing and entered the sphere of culture.
This development has changed more than the physical landscape of the city, or its social demographics. The proliferation of museums partly reflects the uncertainty many people feel about the future of the city. And a museum is, among other things, a school that trains us to live with uncertainty in creative ways.
In the subatomic realm, the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity begins to break down. Depending on the method used to perceive it, light will register as either particles or waves. Some argue that since such phenomena are not experienced outside sophisticated laboratory settings, they have no bearing on ordinary life, that the laws of classical (Newtonian) physics remain valid. The point is, however, that since Heisenberg formulated the Uncertainty Principle, it has no longer been possible to equate science exclusively with objectivity. Science itself has placed limits on that equation.
I think that the modern museum, and the contemporary city as a whole, extend a similar message throughout everyday life: Truth cannot be equated exclusively with objectivity. Museums stand for the idea that some things are culturally more valuable than others; hierarchies do exist.
This idea cannot be proved, nor can esthetic judgments be verified by time or popular referendum. Tastes change, and intelligent people disagree. This complexity is a truth of the urban condition.
FURTHER adventures in the goosebumps trade, three shows whose intelligence still inspires me:
1. ''Willem de Kooning in East Hampton,'' Guggenheim Museum, New York City, 1977. Few people will come out and say that Frank Lloyd Wright's rotunda is the ideal place to display paintings. Also, this period of de Kooning's work -- semi-abstractions suggesting summer days at the beach, with sea, sky, sunlight, gulls, women, waves -- is not considered the artist's best. (One critic said the canvases looked painted in mayonnaise.) But there can be a chemistry between building and painting that makes the entire experience soar.
Wright compared the ramp to an unbroken ocean wave; and sometimes the sound of murmuring visitors, percolating upward through the tall space, creates an aquatic or marine effect, like bubbles effervescing through surf. The show was like a collaboration between two old men splashing around together in the fountain of youth.
2. ''Wonderblock,'' Museum of Contemporary Art, Vienna, 1989. In honor of some anniversary or other having to do with Freud, Vienna staged several shows on psychological themes. Wonderblock, the German term for those self-erasing sketch pads children use, featured 18th- and 19th-century mechanical contraptions designed to diagnose and treat mental disorders. These were exhibited with paintings that plumbed dream states, by artists like Fuseli and Goya.
The labels were in German, and there was no English catalogue, but not knowing precisely what I was looking at made these medical machines seem all the more hilarious: chairs equipped with gears, pullies and elaborate gauges of copper and brass; padded booths with helmets and arm clamps; pneumatic couches. These Rube Goldberg devices were stunningly handsome, and each reverberated with the authority of science. But they looked far more psychotic than any of the maladies they were intended to cure -- vapors, hysterias, unbalanced humors, moral degenerations.
3. ''La Ville,'' the Georges Pompidou Center, Paris, 1992. A blockbuster show of 20th-century urban visions, half of them by painters, the others by architects: paintings, renderings, photographs and, in the final segment, a battery of video monitors showing architects and artists commenting on the city's future.
This epic display, mounted on the museum's top floor, was accompanied by three smaller shows that explored different facets of urban culture. A ground-floor gallery draped in black velvet presented a heartbreaking array of black-and-white photographs of libraries, mosques, office towers and other buildings in Sarajevo that had been reduced to ruins in the outbreak of Balkan hostilities in the early 90's.
In the basement galleries, a retrospective of the work of Ettore Sottsass clearly demonstrated this designer's cosmopolitan esthetic, with objects that synthesized a broad range of Mediterranean, Indian, Japanese, American and other global influences. A fourth gallery honored the work of Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, literary critic and student of city life. Street signs, stereopticons, photographs of shopping arcades and amusement parks, and other visual artifacts helped to evoke the mind of one of this century's most gifted urban thinkers.
There was a fifth exhibition: the city of Paris, laid out like a panorama as visitors went up or down the Pompidou's glass-enclosed escalator, a city that, after viewing these shows, could never look the same.
LIKE Frank Gehry's design for Bilbao, exhibitions like these collapse the psychological wall between subjective perception and objective reality, allowing the two to momentarily fuse. The effect can be powerfully visceral.
In his book ''Understanding the Present: Science and the Soul of Modern Man'' (Doubleday), the British science writer Bryan Appleyard attacks the cultural impact of scientific rationalism. ''Science works, but is it the truth?'' Mr. Appleyard rhetorically asks. Though not explicitly written as such, his book can be read as a manifesto for the 21st-century urban project. With its functionalist architecture, rational planning, synchronized work force and sociological models, the industrial city was governed by scientifically ordered measurements, quantities, statistics. The challenge of the post-industrial city is to realize that subjectivity and objectivity are not opposites, but two sides of one coin in the inherently unstable currency of culture. One looks to the museum for leadership in that direction.

Capitol Collegiate Academy announces first school lottery | Schools
Capitol Collegiate Academy, a new college preparatory free public charter school serving the students of South Sacramento, will hold a public lottery on April 14 for its inaugural class of kindergarten students. The school will draw names for 60 slots, from a pool of over 80 applicants. The event should draw over 100 people.
Applications are presently being accepting on a rolling basis. All further applications will be added a post lottery waitlist.
Capitol Collegiate's mission is to prepare students to compete, achieve, and lead in high school, in college, and in life. Capitol Collegiate was approved in May 2010 by the SCUSD School Board.
Capitol Collegiate will offer an extended day and extended year program for students. The curriculum covers over three hours of literacy and over two hours of math, plus science, social studies, and enrichment every day. Kindergarten students will receive individualized, full-day instruction using the small student to teacher ratio of 15:1.
Capitol Collegiate's program is based off of the highest performing charter schools in the country and has received significant support throughout the Sacramento community through community partners, over 250 teacher applications, and strong family interest in the program.
The public lottery will take place on April 14, 2011 at 7:00pm at the Lemon Hill Boys and Girls Club, located at 5212 Lemon Hill Avenue, Sacramento 95824.

The giving season is upon us and there are so many ways to help others -- here at home or across the globe.
Each year the Christmas Angel program, which is managed through the Family Resource Centers, grows beyond everyone's expectations. Somehow, though, the needs are met and there are children who wake up Christmas morning to gifts they wouldn't otherwise receive.
Through an application process, families who have fallen on tough times submit gift ideas for their child or children.
I cannot allow the Halloween edition of this paper to pass without raising the alarm about something truly terrifying. As a horror movie fan, I am familiar with many of the things that fill us with revulsion, feed our nightmares and quite possibly originate from paid government scientists playing in God's domain.
I had no idea what that terrible thing was until I arrived home last Monday night.

Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth headset
4.0 stars
Charging options, style, case to store it all in
Not the smallest Bluetooth headset available, long charge times
Bluetooth headsets are two a dozen these days so what makes Plantronics think it has the answer with the Discovery 640?
For starters, the Discovery is one of the most interesting designs we�ve seen in a long time. Although the actual headset itself follows the usual design, it�s the accompanying charger and kit that goes with it that got us interested.
Coming in what looks like one of those snazzy compass sets you used to get at school, the metal case with its felt interior houses the Bluetooth headset, three different sized ear pieces, an ear stabliser, and six different charging options.
Six, I hear you cry, must be a typo. But in a moment of genius plantronics has included dongles for Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Siemens and Motorola chargers so you don�t have to worry about packing two chargers on a trip. Furthermore the unit also comes with the ability to charge the unit via a standard AA battery so if all goes horribly wrong you can survive with out a power socket.
Charging takes 3 hours and for that you get 5 hours talk time, 70 hours standby and the promise of adding an extra 15 hours via the AA battery if you are out on the road.
The actual unit is light, it weighs a mere 9grams, and surprisingly comfortable to wear especially as you�ve got the three different tips that go someway to fitting your ear. Additionally you can rotate the tip so it will suit lefties and righties accordingly.
Actual controls on the device are simple, but effective. The call accept and cancel button is at the top of the headset and large enough to find easily, while the volume is on the side. Pressing both buttons at the same time allows you to mute your calls.
The snug ear fit and the lack of over-ear clasp will appeal to some and not to others. Personally we prefer it, as it isn�t as heavy on your ear as some headsets and the different rubberised in-ear grips do well to keep it in place.
In our tests the call quality was good both from a speaking end and a hearing end and tests with GarageBand means you could even get away using this to record podcasts or for VoIP calls over the Internet.
The charging elements are what make this stand out from the crowd and if that is important then this headset from Plantronics is a good choice.

Alice M. Greenwald, '73, director of the World Trade Center Memorial and Museum, will address the graduating seniors and graduate students at Sarah Lawrence College's 78th Commencement on May 18. The ceremony will take place at 10:00 a.m. on the South Lawn.
In her first months as head of the memorial dedicated to telling the story of those who died in the events of September 11th, 2001 and February 26th, 1993, Greenwald has been recognized for her sensitivity to the highly emotional nature of the project and her keen understanding of its symbolic importance.
Prior to this position she was associate director for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum where she had served as a technical expert and consultant since 1986 and was a member of the original design team. After graduating from Sarah Lawrence, Alice studied the history of religions at the University of Chicago's Divinity School. In the ensuing 30 years she worked at museums on the east and west coasts and was the principal of Alice M. Greenwald/Museum Services, providing consulting experience to a variety of clients in addition to the Holocaust Museum.
In one of the many interviews Greenwald has given since her appointment to direct the World Trade Center Museum, she revealed her hopeful perspective: "In the midst of the worst of humanity, you always get the best of humanity."
"I am personally thrilled that Alice has agreed to return to Sarah Lawrence to deliver the address at my last commencement as president of this wonderful, humane institution," said Michele Tolela Myers.
Sarah Lawrence is a liberal arts college for men and women, founded in 1926, with a distinctive system of education. It is known for having one of the lowest (9:1) student/faculty ratios in the country. At the core of the system are small classes, regular one-on-one student-faculty conferences, cross-disciplinary approaches and the integration of the creative arts within the curriculum.

Character Bio
Dr. Camille Saroyan is the Head of the Forensic Division at Jeffersonian Institute.

Dr. Camille Saroyan Quotes
|Season 10 / Episode 19: - The Murder in the Middle East
Majid Namazi: These are two tickets back to America. The flight leaves this afternoon. If you're on it, there will be no unpleasantness.
Dr. Camille Saroyan: Wait, no! I need to see Arastou!
Special Agent Seeley Booth: [Booth turns to Hooshmand] You said you could help us.
Hooshmand: I am. Sometimes there is a limit to what can be accomplished. I'm keeping you safe.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Whoa, wait, wait. What if we can help you?
Majid Namazi: Help?
Special Agent Seeley Booth: Yeah, help. If Arastou is actually unharmed, that means you need him alive. You have a murder that needs to be solved.
Dr. Camille Saroyan: And if you brought him to an abandoned surgical center, rather than a real morgue, that means you're operating outside the law.
Majid Namazi: It is unwise to threaten me.
Special Agent Seeley Booth: This is not a threat, this is an offer.

Dr. Camille Saroyan: Well, it looks like you haven't moved in quite a while.

Fisher in 2 major summer films
LAS VEGAS - Now you see her - twice.
Yes, that's Isla Fisher appearing in two of the first major films of the summer-movie season: the latest adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" as well as the crime caper "Now You See Me."
"It's really exciting," Ms. Fisher said. "I guess I don't feel any pressure because I'm not the lead in either movie."
In "Gatsby," she's the ill-fated Myrtle Wilson - logging precious, but little, screen time. In "Now You See Me," Ms. Fisher plays one of a quartet of magicians who use their talents to take back money from immoral millionaires and return it to the people they bilked. The film boasts an all-star cast, including Morgan Freeman and Woody Harrelson. "And Mark Ruffalo is chasing after us, and Melanie Laurent and Michael Caine," she added in a recent interview. "(It's) basically a lot of people nominated for Oscars - and then me, a SAG member, committing these heists."
During filming of "Now You See Me," Ms. Fisher had a close call.
"I was chained under water," the 37-year-old Australian-raised actress recalled. "I had a quick release on my wrists and a quick release on my feet, but the chain that was tying my wrists to my ankles ... It got looped around the bottom of the tank. I'd already been under for 2½ minutes, and I couldn't get up for air. And I did have a moment of, just, 'Oh my gosh.' Not in a swimming costume. No one wants to go in a swimming costume."
