Hi all-
I plan to use 6x6 landscaping ties to create a border around our swingset and then fill the frame with smooth pea gravel. The border will only be 1 board high (meaning, boards will not overlap or be on top of one another). How do I secure the ties to the ground so that they don't shift when the kids walk on them? Thanks! Gedman |

A mini foundation of concrete. At each corner of the landscape tie dig a shallow footing ( unless you are in a major freeze heave area then speak with your local landscapers for their recc. ) Fill the footing with concrete. Drill a hole thru the landscape tie and slip it over the carriage bolts. insert a washer and a nut over the carriage bolt and tighten down. You will now have a certified child safe counter sunk bolt holding your landscape tie. If the ties ever become loose, simply tighten down the bolt Whe you want to remove the whole shebang, simply unscrew the bolts, lift the landscape ties away and cut off the exposed carriage bolts. We use this method in installing landscape tie steps as well. |
At minimum, cut 2' lengths of ties and set them below grade so that the top of them is where you want the bottom of your ties. Ten or twelve inch galvinized twisted twisted nails with no drill holes for pressure treated work pretty well for a DIY job. |
Thanks for the helpful answers. What is the best way to cut 6x6 landscaping ties? Even a 12" mitre saw blade can't cut through 5.5 inches. I suppose that the ties could be cut (carefully) with a chain saw - but I presume that it would create a rather rough cut. Thanks! Gedman |
- Posted by mich_in_zonal_denial (My Page) on Wed, Sep 21, 05 at 15:45
We use a chain saw, or if we are doing fine detail work we will rent a beam saw. A beam saw is the scariest tool I have ever witnessed. Usually the chain saw will do an adequate job , and if you need to clean up your cuts you can run a skill saw across your cuts and or a power hand planer. |
Mich has offered a tried and true process of tools for cutting 6x6's. I have used a wood rasp to clean up the ends if the chain saw operator got a little "off" in the cutting process. I have also used a Skill saw and rotated the 6xÆs cutting each side as the blade is too short. If the rotating didnÆt make a through cut then I use a bow saw to complete the cut. We have anchored the 6x's by making a lap cut on the ends and bolting the 6x's together. This makes the frame a one piece unit. With the lap joint it can only be a square unit unless you do some fancy cutting. It is not secured or anchored in place but just sits where you put it together. Like "Free standing", Dude !!! This lap joint holds the 6xÆs together and if you wanted to you could use the bolt and concrete method that Michelle uses to secure the frame in place rather than the free standing method I suggested. Hope this inspires you to " ...give it try". Jake |

Although Michelle's method sounds both extremely safe and very "professional", DH and I have, in the past, secured landscape timbers to the ground by drilling 1/2 inch holes through the entire width of the board on either end and then pounding 3 ft. pieces of 1/2 inch rebar through the holes and into the ground until the ends of the rebar are flush with the tops of the timbers. You could substitute longer pieces of rebar if your freeze line is actually deeper than 30 inches. This method doesn't require the pouring of concrete, and due to the fact that the rebar is virtually the same width as the holes, the timbers don't tend to work their way back off. |
I secured my 6x6 to the ground with 24" 3/8" rebar. You just drill some 1/2" holes in the timbers, 3 per timber and then drive the rebar through them and 12" into the ground. No foundation needed, real stable. |

HEY FOLKS, Great tips but wondering if pressure treated landscaping beams (thinner,looks like a 4X4 instead of the 8X8 of a railroad tie and flat on only two sides)are applicable to all of these tips too. I picked up these pressure treated beams- well, they look like trees cut flat on two sides, for my kid's playset. The area I am surrounding an irregular area roughly 22X18 with an outtake for the slide....some long runs and some short runs . . less than 3 feet . . . Wondering if anyone has used these or has seen them secured and lasting . . . . thanks |
Need some advice or a book on how to cut staris into a hill, but use railroad ties as the stairs themselves. probably use 1/2" stakes/rebar to secure them as the steps. thoughts??? thanks. |

Sunset Books (a subset company to the very popular west coast Sunset Magazine) has a title called 'Hillside Landscaping' that outlines specifically how to construct wood or railroad tie steps into a slope. Most other DIY landscaping books, often available at the big home improvement stores like Lowes or HD, will have similar step-by-step instructions. fwiw, you will typically get better and faster results to a specific question if you initiate a new thread, rather than tacking on to one that is quite stale, such as this. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sunset's Hillside Landscaping
Hopefully those kids didn't end up picking up toxics when they walked etc. on them. Nobody mentioned this that I saw skimming this thread. Treatments used are poisonous, that's how they keep the wood from rotting - for awhile anyway. Railroad ties in particular are ghastly, being treated with sticky malodorous creosote containing over 200 toxic compounds. CCA wood apparently just about bleeds arsenic. Understand situation is existing stocks can still be sold, even though it has been realized they are too nasty to keep making new ones. Maybe by now these are unlikely to be encountered at outlets. Anyway, roofing paper or other resilient protective layer needs to be attached to exposed surfaces of such to eliminate direct contact with users. |

I have personally use landscape timbers (1/2 trees as phil v has mentioned). I've used these as a small raised garden bed at my mothers house about 6 years ago. I have learned more as I go but found that the best way to build a 3 layer wall is to: 1 Vary the lengths of the boards so the seems don't match up. I Then stained the wood to match the exterior of my mother's house and was all done. Now, looking back, I wish I knew to do this myself. But, you learn as you go. I just fixed up the wall this year on Mother's Day for her and it looks as good a new where I hadn't connected the corners with the rebar. Good luck |
I plan on replacing some rotted out timbers. Any suggestions on how I (a homeowner) can remove timbers that are secured with 2 or 3 feet of rebar? |
Cut the rebar with a sawzall? |

Its been a while since my last post, but I am back and stronger than ever! So, right now, I am officially waiting around to leave for the airport in Raleigh. At 8:30 tonight I will be on my first flight ever, and its a 14 hour flight – to London! I'm so excited! We're going to Ireland, England, and France for 11 days! This will be the first time I have ever flown, and to be honest I am a little freaked out about it. I'm sure my nerves will be worse once we actually get to the airport, but I will talk more about my trip after it is done or while I am over there!
So, over my break, I did a lot of different things, like hanging out with friends and family and doing stuff for Delta Zeta! Four girlfriends and I went ice skating one day, and that probably had to be one of the funniest days over break because one girl who went with us – bless her heart – could not ice skate if her life depended on it. She was constantly on the ground! It was a great laugh and an even better time with the girls!
Afterwards we ate dinner together, and as always it was a blast! We got a little lost in Virginia on the way back, so another girl and I had to change seats while stopped at a traffic light (I do not recommend doing this) so I could be in the front seat to tell the driver how to get home!
After making it home safely, we all went to our high school basketball game; and, let me tell you, it was a nail biter just like the ones Barton has with Mt.Olive! We ended up losing in the last 10 seconds, but overall it was a great game. It was a lot of fun to see people that I went to high school with again!
Hanging out with family has been tons of fun. My favorite person in the world is my two-year-old niece! She is constantly making me laugh and always talking! For Christmas she got a inflatable trampoline from Santa; and whenever she jumps on it, her hair sticks out straight because of the static electricity. Everyone who touches her shocks her, but she has a blast on it jumping, falling down, and running around in a circle!
Well, guys, I think I am going to head out. We are about to leave so we can get to Raleigh a little early and just hang out for a while! Be looking for another post here shortly; and the next time you hear from me, I will more than likely be in another country, and I'll be excited to tell you all about it!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mindy!
Facts about Mindy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Mindy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Mindy came to us last summer with a litter of kittens that looked just like her. All her kittens were adopted but Mindy still waits. And during that wait she has put on weight. She needs a home of her own to get her girlish figure back. Est DOB 6-6-09. POSTED JANUARY 26, 2013.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mindy, a Geneseo Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Geneseo, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Geneseo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Geneseo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Geneseo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Geneseo paves the way for another one to be saved.

While Penn Badgley had appeared in several WB television series and the 2006 romantic comedy John Tucker Must Die, it wasn't until he was cast as lovable Brooklyn boy Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl that he became a household name. It's been a career highlight for the young actor, but it's also changed his personal life as well. Badgley has been dating co-star Blake Lively for over a year.
WHAT'S NEXT Badgley and the rest of the Gossip gang have been renewed for another season and his latest film The Stepfather will hit theatres in October.

Follow moving companies to understand your local housing market
Moving companies are fonts of data that you can use as local economic indicators and context for jobs and housing stories.
The major companies like United Van Lines and Atlas Van Lines actually publish annual statistical reports, which analysts use to study how the economy affects migration patterns. (Unfortunately my state, Michigan, is the undisputed leader in outbound migration, thanks to years of double-digit unemployment.) U-Pack Moving also publishes an annual report packed with regional and national data.
Scan the links above for fodder that applies to your region, but don't wait till year-end for the next edition. Most moving companies operate as franchises, from the biggies to no-frills firms like Two Men and a Truck. These operators are on the front lines of the residential market and now is a good time to get to know the ones in your area; consider even convening a panel of movers – including some independents who serve lower-income clients – to talk about what they're seeing and hearing from customers.
Are more people squeezing into multi-generational dwellings? Are they doing more moves from houses to rental units, or emptying out foreclosures on behalf of banks and credit unions? What are corporate clients asking for these days – lots of one-way moves away from your state, or a decent balance of influx and outflow? Are customers cheaping out on the pack-and-ship services, opting to fill their own boxes? What about problems on the other end, or payment woes, or other signs of trouble?
Moving companies – including U-Haul and similar DIY firms, along with related businesses like the self-storage trade – are sources well worth developing for the nitty-gritty insight they provide into the stories behind abstract economic releases.
Planning ahead: Here's a look at economic and financial events expected next week. Some heavy-duty numbers are coming out in the jobs and housing sector, the nation's two biggest economic bugaboos. Vehicle sales will be closely watched, too, as analysts are predicting strong growth in July.
Aug. 2: Construction spending
Aug. 3: Domestic car and truck sales. Remember this is a good peg for checking out the fate of shuttered auto dealers in your region, as I mentioned in this previous blog post.
National Association of Realtors pending home sales.Last month this index plummeted to a record low following the expiration of the home buyers' tax credit; this release is a good peg for checking with real estate agents, title companies and mortgage lenders about the execution rate of contracts signed with the credit in mind. Buyers have until the extended deadline of Sept. 30 to close on properties they bid on before April 30.
Aug. 4: Challenger job cut report
Aug. 5 Monster employment index
Aug. 6: Employment situation – The Bureau of Labor Statistics release considered one of the most important economic indicators.

MURRAY, Ky. – The University of Tennessee at Martin rifle team saved its best team performance for last, as the Skyhawks smashed three program records at this weekend's NCAA Qualifier at the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range on the campus of Murray State University.
UT Martin's 4,626 aggregate score was six points better than the previous school record, while its 2,347 air rifle points are 10 points better than the former UT Martin benchmark. Individually, Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year Dacotah Faught shot a remarkable 597 in air rifle, which is five points better than the previous school record.
"This was truly an exceptional team performance, with 14 of our 16 athletes posting scores above their season average and seven of them contributing to a new team aggregate record," Skyhawk head coach Bob Beard said. "I am very proud of the entire team."
Faught's remarkable performance will certainly catch the eye of the NCAA selection committee, who will choose four at-large individuals in both air rifle and smallbore to compete in the NCAA Championships, ironically held at the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range on March 14-15. The NCAA entrants will be announced this Thursday, Feb. 27 at 4 p.m. CST. Faught will be making the bid to become the first UT Martin shooter to advance to the NCAA championships since Jaymi Collar and Heather Tillson shot a 589 to qualify for the 2006 NCAA championships, held in Colorado Springs, Colo.
"As for Dacotah's individual school air rifle record, I have never, in 32 years of coaching, seen a better performance," Beard said. "The three times she missed the 10-dot were evenly distributed across the 60-shot course of fire and each registered 9.9 on the computerized Olympic target, meaning she missed the 10-dot by a little more than the width of a human hair."
Faught's 597 air rifle score ranked first out of any shooter from a stacked field that included West Virginia, Jacksonville State and Murray State this weekend. Jessica Cobb fired a 588 while Dana Maurizio (582) and Nikki Kroll (580) also factored into the team score.
Steve Hahn (581), Logan Hunt (577), Jamie Arnett (573), Joe Barefoot (568), Breanna Flint (567), Jordan Goodwin (567), Jacob Stolley (555) and Katrina Klaes (546) also shot for UT Martin.
The Skyhawks produced a 2,279 total in smallbore. Faught's 575 paced the team, followed by Barefoot's 572, Maurizio's 567 and Flint's 565.
Sean O'Brien (564), Cobb (562), Hunt (558), Kelly James (554), Hahn (554), Jordan Jensen (553), Kroll (550) and Alex Haid (546) rounded out the Skyhawk shooters.
Aside from the fact that three of the program's most hallowed records fell, the team's effort this weekend meant even more to Beard, who has announced his intent to retire after this season.
"We have had such a great year both athletically and academically," said Beard, who won his fourth OVC Coach of the Year award two weeks ago. "The team sure has sent me out in style. This had the potential to be my last match but now I hopefully get to coach another three weeks and I couldn't be happier."

Our neighbor gave us the name of a lawyer friend and told us to retain him to obtain a reduction of the assessment of our property. We have to give him $25 prior to his filing and if he succeeds in getting a reduction, he will take a one-time fee of 33 1/3% of the reduction.
My question is by seeking a reduction, can there be other consequences that can steamroll from our filing for a reduction. I just don't want to make it worse for us in the long run. If anyone has any experience with this, I greatly appreciate any advice. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is this for property taxes? Before you pay anyone, call your local assessor's office. In a lot of places, they'll handle it for you for free. |
- Posted by cactuscatie (My Page) on Tue, Mar 22, 11 at 22:05
sushipup, it is for property taxes. Well according to my neighbor, I can do it myself through the assessor's office but there are formulas, applications and it could be tricky, blah, blah, blah. We are going to talk to the assessor's office as you suggested. Thanks for your reply. |
Well, your neighbor either wants to justify the money he/she already spent with the attorney, or the attorney is her brother-in-law. I bet it won't be that tough! |
Depending on where you live, it actually may be quite a pain. There is undoubtedly an official way to appeal the assessment, but that doesn't mean that your local officials have made it easy or transparent. A phone call should give you some indication whether the department is easy to work with or if it is something you might rather pay a few bucks to have someone else do. |
I went to the assessors office to ask for a reduction, after all we were still farming, though we had a new house on the land. I went with a recent appraisal and after much chat about what deficits we had on the property they said they were willing to look at the appraisal, until they discovered that the appraisal from the current year - would not be considered because the assessment was from the previous year - therefore not relevant. WTF??? Make sure if you HAVE an appraisal it is in the same year as the assessment. |
- Posted by marie-ndcal (My Page) on Wed, Mar 23, 11 at 18:41
The other thing that could happen is the appraiser's office will reevaulate the entire neighborhood and then everyone's taxes will go up. Could depend on what is going on--remodeling, foreclousers, new business, schools etc. All figure into the tax rates. |
When I met with our accountant last month to do taxes, I asked about appealing property taxes...something we are considering. Our accountant informed me that he hires a guy every year to appeal his ...sometimes they are reduced, sometimes they're not. I asked for and was given the fellow's name and will be calling him next week, when we return home. Our process is a pain in the backside and I'll be happy to share the benefit with someone who will do the legwork. My brother in law makes a chunk of his living appealing property taxes for industrial/commercial properties. It's lucrative! |
If county property tax files are available to you, ours are on-line, try looking for a comparable property that is taxed less than yours. If you can build a logical case based on these comps, a simple letter to the assessor's office should get them to re-look at your situation. There may be an annual deadline for this reclama to adjust the following year's tax bill, though. |

Anders Behring Breivik
From Powerbase
(Redirected from Anders Breivik)
Anders Behring Breivik was charged with the killing of 92 Norwegians in two attacks on 22 July 2011, a bombing in central Oslo and a massacre of youths at a youth camp on Utøya island.[1]
Contents |
Gates of Vienna
Breivik may have left two comments on the anti-Muslim Gates of Vienna blog, using the profile name year2183.[2]
In response to Suggestions for the future, posted by Fjordman on 29 September 2008, year2183 wrote a comment which read in part:
- Why havent you or any of the other current authors on the Eurabia related issues/Islamisation of Europe (Fjordman, Spencer, Ye`or, Bostom etc.) brought up the "D" word? I assume because it is considered a fascist method in nature, which would undermine your/their work? Why would it undermine their efforts when it is the only rational conclusion, based on the above argument? As far as I know, it's not illegal in Europe to suggest deportation as a future method when discussing future hypothetical World Orders (correct me if im wrong though, Im not 100% sure, lol)!?[3]
In response to another Fjordman post of 4 October 2008, year 2183 attacked writers he accused of profiteering from the anti-Islam movement:
- I'm writing a book of my own, where one of the chapters are dedicated as a response to so called "revolutionary profiteers". There are around 10 ppl world wide writing about these subjects and the fact that most of them are trademarking everything, preventing distribution of full/partial content is very worrying... How can we, Europeans, rally a response to this devastating demographic warfare if all the intellectuals are doing everything they can to trademark and prevent the "truth" from being distributed?
- I think its therefore absolutely fantastic that you are making it free to distribute/translate. Only the brave individuals that selflessly contribute will be remembered as heroes when we see a conclusion to this conflict in 50-150 years.[4]

Hi - I was wondering if anyone has some extra greenhouse space that they might be interested in renting out to me for the winter. Right now, I have my orchids (not a very large collection at all) outside in a little portable greenhouse, and I am unfortunately unable to take the majority of them inside. I know that I've waited to the last minute to do this, as I have a bad habit of doing! Luckily, the weather here on Long Island was been much warmer than average recently. However, it will be getting colder soon, and so I don't have much time at all to do this. Preferably, I'd like to find someone in driving distance in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic region, but it's not necessary because at this point I'm desperate! Thank You!!
Jason |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jason: I know that Nero Wolf was fictional, but the concept of orchid growers maintaining GH's on rooftops in Manhattan isn't. Surely there are orchid clubs in the greater NYC area? I would bet that if you joined such a club, you would find a number of people in your area, possibly on LI, who share your passion and would be willing to give you some winter space. I can't help you, because for one, I'm too far and for another, don't maintain a tropical GH, but one of my neighbors has space in my temperate climate GH in which she grows veggies and in exchange, I get some of the veggies and she helps me maintain the GH. Offer to help someone maintain theirs, especially if they want to vacation, and you just might find space to share sooner then you will get your first hard frost. Good luck! |

I will be tiling soon, I hope :)
FLOOR: I have plans for floor warming system > self leveling compound > un-modified thinset > Ditra > un-modified thinset > slate tiles 6x12". I have read the Schluter Ditra Handbook, and on page 13 there are instructions that fit my situation, as outlined above. WALLS: For my walls I will prep with HydroBan, then use a thinset to apply the 4x4 ceramic tiles and a listello of white carrara marble tiles. Un-Modified thinsets...I have read that Laticrete 317, Mapei Kerabond, and Ditra-set are all good un-modified thinsets. Modified thinsets...I was thinking of getting Laticrete 255 for use on my wall tiles. I understand that the unmodified is a setting type thinset and cures chemically. I have read that modified needs air to dry. Questions:
Thanks for your time. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ditra Handbook
Follow-Up Postings:
Ditra-Set is the best. Having said that, in some areas, it's not available. Second good choice is HD's "Versabond." It's NOT unmodified....but "lightly" modified and is good stuff. It will void Schluter's warranty.....but who cares? |

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: May Rural Utilities Service (RUS) loans be used for the cost share required for Smart Grid grants?
Answer: Yes, RUS loans may be used to satisfy the cost share requirement under the Smart Grid program. In fact, funds from any Federal direct loan or loan guarantee may be used to satisfy the requirements under the Smart Grid program, program statutes do not prohibit this use. Please let us know if you have any futher questions. This can be found in the DE-FOA-0000058 Amendment 9, Updated Answers to Questions located here.
Question: My electric/telephone/water bill is more than I can pay. Do you have a program to help me?
Answer: Unfortunately, we do not. Payment of bills or the level of charges is a matter between the individual and the utility. The USDA Rural Development Utilities Programs are structured by statute to provide service to rural and small community residents at an affordable cost. Loans are made to the utility for construction of the infrastructure. USDA Rural Development does not have programs or authority to provide grants to individuals for monthly payment of bills.
Question: I want to build a house out in the country where I have bought some land, but the electric cooperative/utility wants to charge $20,000-$50,000 to get a line out to me. Does USDA Rural Development have a program to help pay for the connection?
Answer: The cost for connection to a home or business is an issue between the utility and the individual concerned. Working with neighbors and the utility concerned may be the best approach to resolving the connection problem. If it can be demonstrated to the utility that there is growth potential that will level out the fixed costs, the utility may be willing to share more of the initial outlay for connection.
Question: The electric cooperative says I have to die to be paid my capital credits (cooperative stock dividends). Is that true?
Answer: Not necessarily. The cooperative capital credit retirement policy varies by cooperative. A cooperative generally establishes a retirement cycle, normally 10-15 years, for the retirement of capital credits. Under a 15 year retirement cycle, capital credits that were assigned in 1990 would be retired in 2005. It should be noted, however, that before capital credits are retired, the cooperative management is required to insure that the cooperative has the financial ability to make such retirements. In addition to the normal retirement cycle, capital credits of a deceased member are normally paid. This payment may be a full value or at a discounted value. The policy varies by cooperative. To determine what your cooperative's policies are with respect to the retirement of capital credits you can ask the management of your cooperative or you could check the cooperative bylaws.
Question: I want to build a wind generation system (or some other type of renewable energy source) and sell it to my local utility.
Answer: USDA Rural Development Electric Programs can and will make renewable energy loans to rural electric providers. Individual loans and grants may be available through the USDA Rural Development Business Programs. You may want to check with the USDA Rural Development office in your state. A list of state offices may be found at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/recd_map.html.
Question: Who can apply for an USDA Rural Development electric loan or loan guarantee?
Answer: Any entity that provides electric service to rural consumers. It should be noted, however, that the project must be feasible both from an engineering and a financial perspective.
Question: Does the USDA Rural Development Electric Programs finance start up costs?
Answer: No. The USDA Rural Development Electric Programs will only finance construction costs (bricks and mortar).
Question: Will USDA Rural Development Electric Programs finance merchant plants?
Answer: No. USDA Rural Development Electric Programs can only finance facilities that will serve rural consumers. Since the power generated from merchant plants is not specifically targeted to any specific group, we cannot finance such a project.
Question: What type of loan programs does the USDA Rural Development Electric Programs have?
Answer: The USDA Rural Development Electric Programs have three loan programs (hardship rate, municipal rate, and Treasury rate) and a loan guarantee program.
Question: What are the differences between the loan programs?
Answer: The hardship rate loan program provides loans at 5 percent, the municipal rate loan programs provides funds at the municipal rate, which changes quarterly, and the Treasury rate program provides funds at the Treasury rate, which changes daily. Loan funds from these programs are restricted to providing funds for the construction and acquisition of distribution plant. The criteria for qualifying for the hardship rate program are set by Congress. See 7 CFR Part 1714 for details.
Question: Does USDA Rural Development provide 100 percent of the funding?
Answer: USDA Rural Development will provide 100 percent financing for hardship rate and treasury rate loans. Municipal rate loans require the entity to obtain 10 to 30 percent of the financing from outside sources. See 7 CFR Part 1714 for details.
Question: What is the loan guarantee program used for?
Answer: The loan guarantee program is primarily used to finance the construction and acquisition of generation and transmission projects. These funds can, however, also be used to finance the construction and acquisition of distribution facilities.
Question: Who provides the funds under the loan guarantee program?
Answer: Most of the funds (over 99 percent) provided under the loan guarantee program are provided by the Federal Financing Bank (a Federal Agency). However, entities are free to obtain the loan guarantee funds from outside sources if they desire.
Question: How do I find out about the current interest rates?
Answer: The current interest rates are posted on our Interest Rates page.
Question: What type of security does the USDA Rural Development Utilities Programs require for its loans and loan guarantee?
Answer:In most cases (Indian tribes, Public Utility Districts, and municipals are the exceptions), the current assets and all future assets of the entity are pledged as security for the debt. This pledge of assets is secured by a loan contract and mortgage. The standard loan contract and mortgage is outlined in 7 CFR Part 1718. Loans for Indian Tribes, Public Utility Districts, and municipals are generally secured by a lien on the entity's revenue.
Question: As part of its standards setting function, the USDA Rural Development Electric Programs maintain a standard list of materials. How do I get my electric product listed on the standard list of materials?
Answer: Specific questions concerning the acceptance process may be directed to the Chair of the Technical Standards Committee "A" at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Question: I have an electric utility that is interested in purchasing my product but they tell me that I must be on the list of materials. How long does it take to get my product on the list of materials?
Answer: The time varies but in most cases where we have all of the necessary information, including test reports, drawings and certifications, processing should be completed within two to three months.
Question: What is an "eligible country"? Where can I find a list of eligible countries?
Answer: As defined in the "Buy American" provision of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended, an "eligible country" is any country that applies with respect to the United States an agreement ensuring reciprocal access for United States products and services and United States suppliers to the markets of that country, as determined by the United States Trade Representative. The current list of eligible countries for the Electric Programs can be found on the List of Materials page.

O-Line Camp
8th through 12th grade, linemen from Bixby, Bristow, Berryhill, Miami, Liberty, Lincoln Christian, Sand Springs, Sperry and Jenks started their first day of summer by attending Coach Montgomery's 2005 O-Line Camp. The two day camp was long, hot and tiring, but you had to be there to experience the highly spirited Hog Jousting competition. It made no difference if you were big or small, what grade you were in or what school you were from, when you stepped up to compete, words of encouragement were shouted to every competitor, from every team throughout the entire competition. Who can forget hearing the barks of the Miami Wardogs or congratulations from a fellow competitor following a tough battle, win or lose. Winners of the Hog Jousting were freshman, Robbie Williams, for the junior high level and senior, Chase Beeler, for the high school level. Freshman, Jason Bixler was the overall obstacle course winner for all grades.

Jenks' Brewer throws two TDs
Named Game MVP
By Associated Press
WICHITA FALLS, Texas -- Jenks' Andrew Brewer threw two touchdown passes Saturday night to lead Oklahoma to a 38-7 win over Texas in the 68th Oil Bowl between high school all-stars from the two states. Brewer, who was named the game's MVP, threw for 79 yards on 8-of-14 passing. He had 22 yards rushing. It was the biggest loss ever in the series for Texas, which was shut down by a stout Oklahoma defense that limited Southlake Carroll's Chase Daniel to just 31 yards on 2-of-9 passing. He also threw an interception, fumbled twice and was sacked twice. Tulsa Union's Michael Cowan was named the game's defensive MVP, recording a sack, a fumble recovery and three quarterback hurries.

Selfie-Lovers Are Abandoning Their Black Cats Because They 'Tend Not to Photograph As Well'
It's a sad, sad day when you come to value the quality of your selfies more than you do your own pet.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) says hundreds of black cats are being abandoned by their owners. The reason? They're apparently not photogenic enough for their owners' selfies. Read More

In fact, compliments of the Bradley County Trustee's Office, they have several options. Pay early. And pay closer to home.
In keeping with a 7-year-old tradition, the Trustee's Office will reach into several neighborhoods on Saturday, Feb. 15, and the following Saturday, Feb. 22, to allow taxpayers to visit satellite locations to pay their property taxes.
"The satellite locations have been very popular with taxpayers," Smith said. "They have eliminated the need for citizens to come to the Courthouse and they have allowed property owners to pay their property taxes closer to home."
It's not the first innovative idea the trustee has implemented for taxpayers. One of the most recognized — and among many community residents the most appreciated — is the partial payment plan whose signup deadline came last Friday. By the time the Trustee's Office closed Friday at 4:30 p.m., staff members had registered the county's 745th parcel in the partial payment plan.
Of this number, 170 have been signed up during the latest rounds of enrollments in late 2013 and early 2014.
Like the partial payment alternative, Bradley County taxpayers have shown a keen interest in the satellite locations. Although most residents adore the hometown feel of downtown Cleveland and its central business, government and professional services legacy, many aren't fans of the limited parking.
That's one of the purposes of the satellite locations for paying property taxes.
"[We] began having satellite locations in 2007," Smith said. "A change made in 2012 will allow the locations to be open on the same Saturday."
To pay at a satellite location, taxpayers must have their tax statement with them along with a check, Smith said. No cash will be accepted at the satellites.
Four satellite locations will be open Saturday, Feb. 15. These will be set up at Oak Grove Elementary School, Hopewell Elementary School, Waterville Elementary School and in the Bradley Square Mall near the central fountain. Hours at each satellite will be 9 a.m. to noon.
On Saturday, Feb. 22, a satellite will open again at the mall, but this one will be set up at the Kmart entrance. On the same day, the Trustee's Office will be open to accept tax payments as well. Hours for both the Kmart and Trustee's Office sites will be 9 a.m. to noon.
For additional information about the coming satellite locations, or any facet of the property tax payment process, area residents may call the Trustee's Office at 728-7247. Or, they may drop in without an appointment. Traditional hours of the Trustee's Office are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Options for how, when and where to pay property taxes in Bradley County are often designed by the Trustee's Office based on public input. This was certainly the case with the partial payment plan. In past interviews with the Cleveland Daily Banner, Smith has pointed to the needs of local taxpayers as being a factor in decisions to provide options.
The same sentiment was expressed late last week by Deputy Trustee David Swallows who told the Banner "... an overwhelming number of people" had been asking if they could make partial payments prior to the implementation of the program.
Under the partial payment plan, local taxpayers may visit the Trustee's Office and design an installment payment cycle that is best for their income. Of those seeking the partial payment option, most prefer monthly payments as opposed to a large lump-sum paid once a year. However, plans are also set up for making payments every other month, quarterly, twice a year or whatever arrangement best suits the taxpayer.
Although the deadline for signing up for partial payment has passed for the coming tax year, a new open enrollment period will be offered later this year, and in early 2015.
"Of the 745 [now in the partial payment plan], 425 have chosen to utilize the monthly bank draft method of payment while the remaining 320 will be either mailing their payments or bringing them to the Trustee's Office," Smith said. Office staff signed up 70 last Thursday and Friday on the final two days before deadline, he pointed out.
The partial payment plan was launched in March 2011.
"A few taxpayers' request in 2010 for an easier and more convienent way to pay their property taxes in a slow economy, has resulted in a very popular program that has now spread among other counties across the state," Smith said. "We are glad we can offer this service to Bradley County and look forward to its continued growth in the future."
The trustee added, "For taxpayers who did not sign up for the 12-month program, we still offer partial payments from October through February on current taxes. We also offer a partial payment program for delinquent taxes while they remain in the Trustee's Office. No sign-up is required for either of these programs."
During any given year, property tax payments are normally accepted from Oct. 1 through the last day in February.
The Bradley County Trustee's Office is located in Suite 104 of the Courthouse at 155 North Ocoee St.

Please use the Exchanges area reached by clicking that word at either the top or bottom of these threads. Your requests clutter this page, which is meant only for discussions on how to propagate.
Thanks, Steve. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Moving this down. Thanks everyone. S. |
Are you a site admin or just a closet cop? Besides, the heading to this forum is Propagation and Exchange. Whatever else this page is meant to be, it is not meant to adhere to the neurotic controlling reality of one individual. Show a little tolerance. What you put out is what you get back. |
I didn't know I was being neurotic, nor acting as a closet cop. I have used this forum for years and only recently have people been putting requests for cuttings or offers of cuttings or seedlings here. They are unusual. This is an international forum, but the exchanges are U.S. only. Perhaps, that was the reason for segregating them, as folks from other countries post their wants elsewhere, I believe. I don't remember when the separate exchanges page began. My apologies for seeming intolerant. Steve. |
catsrose, there are two sections to this forum. This one is the "Propagation" portion. The link in the middle of the page just before the threads says "Exchanges", THAT is the "Exchange" portion of this forum, and that where the "Wanted" and "Have" and "Trades" should be placed. The person who created GardenWeb (before it was purchased by iVillage) made the split when this forum was created. And that person was the real "cop", you would have gotten a little note if you didn't adhere to the posting "rules" and you would have been banished if you continued to "disobey". No one is trying to be "cop" just point out why there is a link to "Exchanges". BTW, Steve is one of the more helpful posters in any of the "Rose" forums. Speaking of karma... |

Thanks for posting Steve. I had noticed a lot of WANTED posts showing up in the wrong part of the forum, too. I am embarrassed on behalf of CatsRose's poor behavior and am sorry that someone would make that kind of post toward you. :-( Very ironic that someone would become so rude in the name of tolerance. Cheers, |

Many of these posts may be unintentional misplacements by newbies. I know when I first joined, because this particular forum is named "Propagation and Exchanges" I posted a Wanted post in this section before I realized that they are divided. Initially I thought it was one forum for both propagating and trading. I'd simply missed the "Exchanges" link. The forum name can be a little misleading, especially when compared to the naming of other forums here on GW. Hopefully people will read this post and realize that the two are indeed separate. |
I wanted to thank Steve, (who has been on these boards for a long time), for trying to help out the new posters on this forum. I'd like to think that the newer members would appreciate the direction given and come to realize that they will probably get more responses to their "wanted" posts or "have to trade" posts if they are in the correct spot. While I enjoy trades and exchanges, I also like to come to this board and read about others experiences propagating roses, and not wanting to sift thru a bunch of "wanted" type posts. The people who are the regulars here are some of the nicest most generous people... kindness goes a long way here.. Marleah |
My apologies to Steve and all the regulars. As "newbie," I shouldn't feel offended by what seems a proprietary interest. Like redsnowflake and presumably the others, I missed the little click to the exchanges. Sorry for being stupid as well as rude. |
Apology accepted, catsrose. Thanks. Looking back over what I originally wrote, the "clutters this page" was too strong. It is amazing how careful one must be in print, without the sighs and winks and gestures, to write and be understood for exactly what one is thinking. Steve. |

when i first found this forum, i, too, posted for an exchange, and someone kindly pointed out to me that i might have better luck if i posted on the exchanges forum. i honestly never knew it was there before that, and i think that alot of other people don't, either.i think that the "kindly" way something is pointed out can make all of the difference. i don't think anyone is trying to run their own agenda by posting on the propagation forum, but rather, that it is not blatantly clear that they are two different forums, wrapped up in one.a little tolerance, and "kindly" nudging is all that is needed...donna |
