|2017 mid-season share
UPDATE: Shares are sold out for 2018. Please email us to get on our wait list.
Each year promises new adventures on the farm, but there's a foundation that grounds us--deepening familiarity with the land along with stewardship to help the soil get richer and healthier. 2018 marks our fifth year farming the same land in Winfield, and we have some important changes in the works based on said familiarity.
Every year has its own challenges and successes. We excelled at shell bean production in 2015, including our beloved bush Lima bean, but struggled on the bean front for the next two seasons. 2016 delighted us with a fantastic strawberry crop and our best summer and winter squash crops to date. 2017 was our best fresh and shell pea crop, but a complete loss of our winter squash and melons. There is always an ebb and flow. But we can see patterns, and the culprit behind several crop losses is weed pressure (which is the no. 1 labor demand on a small chemical-free farm like ours).
So what's a farmer to do? These farmers are investing in a four-wheel tractor. A full-size tractor will not only allow us to work the soil in a far more efficient way (what takes us days to do with our walk-behind tractor will take only a matter of hours with a traditional tractor), but we can also weed quickly using the great beast. Truthfully, we've been hesitant to get more mechanized because such a giant machine compacts the soil (and our focus has always been primarily on soil health). But since this land has been coming back to life, so have the weed seeds that have been buried for decades. Weed pressure is no joke on this plot, so we feel the trade-off is worth it.
In addition to a tractor, we are also investing more heavily in another weed fighter, biodegradable film (made from corn), for crops like winter squash, onions, and melons (it covers the ground and prevents weeds from growing around the crops). We used said film in 2016 and saw our best production of many of these crops. We were mostly unable to lay it down this previous season and saw minimal to no production on onions and squash. So, we intend to rectify that this year.
We start every year hopeful, but this year marks our biggest investment in this hope. The audacity! Join us this year as we strive to be even better. Snag yourself a share right here--we'd love to have you as members and, equally important, supporters of our small farm.
Returning members, we offer our gratitude! New members, we advise you to check out our blog thoroughly, especially our CSA Info tab, to make sure our shares are right for you.

Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road

And boy, this will be a soppy read, perhaps another symptom, a pockmark associated with my aging. As the years flow, so too do my […]Read Post ›

Reviewer: Luke Muench
If you thought Crazier Eights was full of chaotic and exciting fun, fear not! James Gray has returned with a mini-expansion, adding more options to the fairly small card-shedding game, including new variable types of cards.
Crazier Eights: Avalon is the definition of "more of the same," providing 33 additional cards with new abilities and altered symbology. Some cards include multiple symbols/cards (a handful featuring all four), making it potentially easier to discard your hand. That being said, those cards tend to feature extremely useful powers, such as discarding an additional card each turn while also reducing your own card draw, or stealing an asset at the start of every turn.

Hiring in-house has higher stakes than law firm recruitment. While firms employ hordes of associates, some of whom are bound to depart before making partner, law departments continue to fight the perception that they're bloated cost centers. And maintaining a lean team means that every person has to pull their weight.
Hiring is one of the most important things an in-house leader can do for a law department, says Michael Sachs, a legal recruiting partner at Major, Lindsey & Africa LLC and a former in-house counsel for NBCUniversal.
"A bad apple or a good apple has a dramatic influence upon that group, and it can't be overstated," Sachs said. "Time and time again, we hear from our clients that when a bad hire is made, it put a pall over the group and held them back from being able to produce for six months to a year"
Effective Communication Skills
At law firms, Sachs says, much of a lawyer's value is determined by output — the brief that's written or the deal that's made. Corporate lawyers, on the other hand, are judged based on more, including the way they handle a meeting with the CEO or chief financial officer, or how they counsel senior business officers.
"It's not just about the wisdom in-house counsel is giving them, because a lot of the time that wisdom is something that many people can deliver and it may be something that came directly from the law firm," Sachs said. "It's the way you interact. And because you'll be dealing with a lot of nonlawyers, it's important that they feel comfortable and confident in your abilities."
Nonlawyers may be unable to judge an in-house counsel on whether advice was right or wrong, Sachs notes, but will judge counsel over the long-haul based on how they felt about advice or were helped through thorny problems.

Schools for the Boys? (RLE Edu F)
Do girls do better in single-sex or co-educational schools?Up to now, discussion has centred on girls' academic achievements in single or mixed-sex groups, but Pat Mahony's research clearly demonstrates that this is not the only issue, and that co-education is damaging for girls socially as well as academically. She challenges the argument that co-education is desirable because it is more normal. Her research reveals that it is normal for girls to be 'put down' in class, to be verbally abused and sexually harassed by boys, and yes, this will be their 'normal' experience as women. But does this justify the way girls are treated in schools? Pat Mahony goes on to explore some of the reasons behind this state of affairs and suggests that the answer lies in sexual politics, not biology.The book concludes with practical suggestions for bringing about change in schools, including case-studies from existing projects.

When Misbah was reintroduced in the Pakistan team, the bloggers on Legslip criticised his reselection. The basis of this was that instead of grooming younger and more talented batsmen, the PCB made a strange decision of entrusting Misbah with the responsibility of leading Pakistan's batting attack. As a batsman Misbah never performed assertively against good teams or on bowling pitches. If the lack of sheer batting skill was not enough, Misbah also showed on occasions that he was not a pressure player. Many people claim that Tendulkar is not a pressure player as well, but when it comes to sheer batting skill disassociated from whatever the match situation may be, Tendulkar is probably the best batsman of our generation and he has this quality of scoring plenty of runs at a very consistent rate. Misbah is pathetic at scoring runs because he is a sitting duck when the ball is moving and even when the ball is not moving he just cannot score quickly.
When Misbah was appointed captain I exclaimed that Umar Akmal, Saeed Ajmal or Umar Gul (whose form has worsened since then) would have made better choices. This is of course assuming Afridi, the captain who took a broken, demoralised team into the WC semi final (which was lost primarily due to Misbah's poor batting and secondarily Younis's slow innings) was unavailable for whatever reason. A 10 year old kid can tell you that Afridi, with his proactive and motivational approach to his players, is a better captain than Misbah; however for some reason some commentators are hellbent on stating what is just not obvious.
Recently I researched players' averages in Tests won, lost and drawn and came up with the following:
Kallis, 65-34-80
Sangakkara, 76-35-57
Jayawerdene, 63-30-72
G Smith, 64-28-52
Ponting, 59-36-58
Lara, 61-42-71
Sehwag, 58-37-60
Dravid, 66-30-65
Laxman, 53-27-64
Misbah, 42-23-83
I did not include Inzamam then but Inzamam averages a whopping 78 in matches won, 28 in matches lost and 47 in matches drawn, providing some credibility to the claim that he was perhaps Pakistan's greatest match winner.
Whereas this research is not comprehensive, and does not take into account Sagaat's arguments about standard deviation, for argument's sake I will proceed on the basis that these statistics have considerable credibility, for the mere reason of how they illustrate the match winning prowess of players like Inzamam, Sangakkara, Smith and Dravid.
Do these statistics not back up what we have consistently complained about Misbah, that is batting his selfish and he is not interested in winning matches? The next worse ratio of average in matches won and drawn is Kallis's, who is universally considered to be a selfish player, but his ratio is 1:1.23 whereas Misbah's ratio is 1:1.98. In other words Misbah averages nearly twice as much in those matches which Pakistan has drawn as opposed to in those matches which Pakistan has won. This is where Misbah surely beats Tendulkar and Lara because those two substandard batsmen don't even come close to averaging 83 in drawn matches!!
What is this nonsense and why is Misbah being treated as a batting legend? He is a totally mediocre player who only performs against poor teams or when the conditions favour batting. Even on batting pitches he has looked helpless against good teams. His captaincy is negative and you can see how pathetic he is at planning the team's approach to posting a target, chasing a target, motivating his players to improve their performance etc. As a fielder he drops many catches, he misfields and his picking and throwing is lethargic.
Misbah's supporters in the PCB and beyond need to stop dreaming that this tenure will provide some confidence or stability to the Pakistan team. Batsmen will not improve their game by gaining inspiration from someone who can't score quickly, who can't play seam and swing and who just crumbles under pressure. Bowlers and fielders will not gain any inspiration at someone who does not know how to make his bowlers perform consistently or who is not interested in raising his own fielding standards.
Pakistan may end up winning every match in this Zimbabwe tour under Misbah's captaincy, but will this really be a victory for Pakistan fans and Pakistan cricket?

Relevant Products: Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365
When running the Exclaimer Cloud - Signatures for Office 365 connector setup wizard, the process hangs and fails to progress past the 'Adding Secure Certificate domain to verified domains list.' stage and does not report an error.
This issue can occur when the Exclaimer subscription you have configured has already been set up with a different Office 365 tenancy. This could potentially be a separate test/demo tenancy you used when trailing Exclaimer.
To resolve this you need to remove the domain ending smtp.exclaimer.cloud from your demo or old Office 365 tenancy.
This can be done by logging onto the Office 365 tenant and going to Set up > Domains and removing the Exclaimer domain.
After removing the domain you can try running the setup wizard again. However, If the setup wizard hangs again please log a ticket with our support desk and we can investigate this further for you.

In January, just a few days before a massive earthquake hit Haiti, I had a blog item about the AiG booklets that are now available in the Haitian Creole language. We've had many requests for the Haitian booklet on the 7 C's of History since it appeared in my blog and in the AiG newsletter. It is now available online (along with some other articles in the Creole language). Here is the link: http://www.answersingenesis.org/ht/ .
Pray that this witnessing booklet will be read by needy Haitians right now and that they will respond to the gospel message presented inside. And as we've already encouraged you to do, please consider donating to relief efforts in Haiti (such as Food for the Hungry's Haiti Earthquake Relief).
Grand Canyon Raft TripsI'm excited to know about the variety of men who are signed up to participate in this year's Grand Canyon raft trip for Christian leaders. We will have 3 continents and 4 countries represented with men from 22 different institutions. Some are committed to a literal Genesis/young-earth position, and who want a better understanding of the scientific evidence supporting their position; others are old-earth creationists or they are unsure about the age of the earth. But, according to Dr. Terry Mortenson of our staff who is overseeing this raft trip, they all are open to considering both the biblical and scientific evidence for a young-earth as they take this Flood geology tour .
There are two prayer requests that Terry has shared with me as we do ministry work in the Grand Canyon.
- We still need about $30,000 to cover the cost of the heavily scholarshipped Christian Leaders' raft trip, held in conjunction with Canyon Ministries of Arizona. Please ask the Lord to supply the funds.
- Our friends at Canyon Ministries are in need of filling 9 seats on a different raft trip—a 7-day Grand Canyon river trip starting June 21. Canyon Ministries wants to fill this raft and ensure that it will continue to be able to offer Grand Canyon raft trips into the future. We ask the Lord to fill those seats.
(1Timothy 1:16) Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Paul's life was a prophetic book for Jews to read and see how to be saved, so our lives should be an easy to read book for the lost on how they can easily be saved.

I've heard about Big Breakfast, and how awesome they were from my friends, from people who would share these lip smacking pictures of huge platter of breakfast. And I haven't been able to try them, until one fine day. I had initially wanted to head to Antipodeon in Bangsar but knowing how packed it can get on a Sunday, it was better to have the Big Breakfast I want elsewhere more relaxed.
Jason suggested Red Beanbag Cafe, with him having been there a couple of times for dinner. I have heard about it, but never tried, so why not?
* * * * * * * * * *
Awesome Breakfast Fry Up, RM22 | Except that it wasn't awesome because everything but the egg was cold. I had expected more mushrooms, but the ones here come in miserable amount and tasted sour. So did the zucchinis and the cherry tomatoes. The chicken sausages wasn't too bad, the beef bacon and hash brown was good, the poached egg was bland, the toast was normal and so is the baked beans. To be completely honest, I could get better baked beans from the cans I have at home. I like my food hot, especially breakfast, so you can say that I'm disappointed with this.
Red Beanbag's Eggs Benedict, RM 16 | At least this looks better than mine. This was toast topped with creaky ham, mushrooms and some unidentified vege, poached eggs and finally the sauce. Jason had this and I asked him to give him 15 words review, so here it is, "Eggs was nicely cooked and poached. Taste wise, love the Hollandaise sauce that was creamy an flavourful. Toast bread was a bit hard, probably left out too long during cooking."
Shroom Shroom, RM 25 | A mushroom fettuccini with beef bacon, I love beef bacon so I'm biased towards this. I would say this is good, but I had Mushroom Cream Sauce pasta in Antonio's in TTDI on Friday and whilst I was eating this, I couldn't stop comparing it with that! And that was really good, which made this, erm just decent. It's nice, and it can be a good comfort food.
* * * * * * * * * *
Having said that, I probably won't come here anytime soon, not for breakfast at least. Either I have my expectations too high, or … I don't know. I shall have to try Antipodean one fine day. Who's up for that? 🙂

The Dangers of DUI
Driving under the influence of alcohol, or more commonly known as DUI, is against the law. But there are drivers out there who still risk driving while intoxicated, maybe because they have no choice but to drive home by themselves, do not fear the consequences, or both. To prevent drunk driving, it is important to know its dangers first.
You can get arrested
Since DUI is illegal, you can get arrested and suffer the penalties for it, such as fines, license suspension, vehicle confiscation, installation of restrictive devices such as an ignition interlock, and even jail time. DUI convictions are worse than you think. The license suspensions, vehicle confiscations, and ignition interlocks will limit your mobility. Having DUI records also don't sit well with businesses and employers.
According to the website of this Lee County DUI lawyer, it is possible to defend DUI charges. But if you ask me, prevention is still better than cure.
You can crash
There is a reason why drunk driving is considered an offense. Alcohol can affect your ability to drive. Physically, you may lose control of the vehicle because of your limited body coordination. Mentally, you may fail to comprehend traffic lights and road signs. This means that you are at risk of crashing your vehicle and injuring not just you, but also your passengers.
You can collide with other people on the road
Remember that you are not the only vehicle on the road. Your limited physical and mental abilities not just give you the risk of crashing, as it also gives you the risk of colliding with another vehicle or another person on the road.
Getting involved in an accident is one of the most tragic things that can happen to a person who is diligently driving his vehicle, safely riding his motorcycle or bicycle, and being careful in crossing the road. If that person has sustained an injury, he may even have enough grounds to take you to court.

Fludarabine, sold under the brand name Fludara among others, is a chemotherapy medication used in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma.[1] These include chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and acute lymphocytic leukemia.[1] It is given by injection into a vein or by mouth.[1][2]
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, fever, rash, shortness of breath, numbness, vision changes, and feeling tired.[1] Severe side effects include brain dysfunction, low blood cell counts, and lung inflammation.[1] Use in pregnancy will likely result in harm to the baby.[1] Fludarabine is in the purine analog family of medications and works by interfering with the duplication of DNA.[1][3]
Fludarabine was approved for medical use in the United States in 1991.[1] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system.[4] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about US$54.00 per 50 mg vial.[5] In the United Kingdom it costs about 155.00 pounds per 50 mg vial.[2]
Medical uses
Fludarabine is highly effective in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, producing higher response rates than alkylating agents such as chlorambucil alone.[6] Fludarabine is used in various combinations with cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, dexamethasone and rituximab in the treatment of indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. As part of the FLAG or FLAMSA regimen, fludarabine is used together with cytarabine and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in the treatment of acute myeloid leukaemia. Because of its immunosuppressive effects, fludarabine is also used in some conditioning regimens prior to allogeneic stem cell transplant.
Side effects
Fludarabine is associated with profound lymphopenia, and as a consequence, increases the risk of opportunistic infections. People who have been treated with fludarabine will usually be asked to take co-trimoxazole or to use monthly nebulised pentamidine to prevent Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. The profound lymphopenia caused by fludarabine renders patients susceptible to transfusion-associated graft versus host disease, an oftentimes fatal complication of blood transfusion. For this reason, all patients who have ever received fludarabine should only be given irradiated blood components.
Fludarabine causes anemia, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia, requiring regular blood count monitoring. Some patients require blood and platelet transfusion, or G-CSF injections to boost neutrophil counts.
Fludarabine is associated with the development of severe autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a proportion of patients.[7]
Difficulties are often encountered when harvesting peripheral blood stem cells from patients previously treated with fludarabine.[8]
Fludarabine is a purine analog, and can be given both orally and intravenously. Fludarabine inhibits DNA synthesis by interfering with ribonucleotide reductase and DNA polymerase. It is active against both dividing and resting cells. Being phosphorylated, fludarabine is ionized at physiologic pH and is effectually trapped in blood. This provides some level of specificity for blood cells, both cancerous and healthy.
Fludarabine was produced by John Montgomery and Kathleen Hewson of the Southern Research Institute in 1968.[9]
It is generally used as its phosphate salt known as fludarabine phosphate.

Pollution Prevention Equipment, 52413-52418 [E9-24670]Download as PDF
[Federal Register Volume 74, Number 196 (Tuesday, October 13, 2009)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 52413-52418] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: E9-24670] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Coast Guard 33 CFR Parts 155 and 157; 46 CFR Part 162 [Docket No. USCG-2004-18939] RIN 1625-AA90 Pollution Prevention Equipment AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is finalizing its January 16, 2009, interim rule establishing oil pollution prevention equipment requirements with one minor amendment to the rule's effective date for vessels with equipment installed on or after January 1, 2005. The rule harmonizes Coast Guard regulations with new International Maritime Organization (IMO) guidelines and specifications issued under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Annex I. It implements these MARPOL Annex I regulations and, ultimately, is intended to reduce the amount of oil discharged from vessels and eliminate the use of ozone-depleting solvents in equipment tests. All vessels replacing or installing oily-water separators and bilge alarms must install equipment that meets these revised standards. Newly constructed vessels carrying oil in bulk must install monitoring systems that meet the revised standards. DATES: This final rule is effective November 12, 2009, except that paragraphs 33 CFR 155.350(a)(3), 155.360(a)(2), and 155.370(a)(4) are effective October 13, 2009. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register on November 12, 2009. ADDRESSES: Comments and material received from the public, as well as documents mentioned in this preamble as being available in the docket, are part of docket USCG-2004-18939 and are available for inspection or copying at the Docket Management Facility (M-30), U.S. Department of Transportation, West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. You may also find this docket on the Internet by going to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting USCG-2004-18939 in the ``Keyword'' box, and then clicking ``Search.''

Section symbol U.S.C. United States Code II. Regulatory History On November 3, 2005, the Coast Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) entitled ``Pollution Prevention Equipment'' in the Federal Register (70 FR 67066).\1\ We received 17 letters containing 80 comments on the proposed rule. The comments did not request a public meeting and none was held. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ On December 15, 2005, the Coast Guard published a correction notice in the Federal Register (70 FR 74259). The NPRM, as published, contained the phrase ``must be limited'' at two points, once in the preamble and once in the regulatory text. We deleted that phrase because it was inserted by error and could have confused readers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On January 16, 2009, the Coast Guard published an interim rule (74 FR 3364) that updated references for the international standard for pollution prevention equipment from the International Maritime Organization's Marine Environment Protection Committee resolution, MEPC.60(33) to the new international standard in MEPC.107(49) and addressed the 80 comments on the NPRM. With the interim rule we also sought comment on three paragraphs: 33 CFR 155.350(a)(3), 155.360(a)(2), and 155.370(a)(4), which proposed requiring any pollution prevention equipment installed on or after January 1, 2005, that does not comply with MEPC.107(49), which became an international requirement on January 1, 2005, to be replaced with pollution prevention equipment that does comply with the MEPC.107(49) standard. These three paragraphs were not included in the NPRM, and we solicited public comment on them in the interim rule. We received five comments, which are discussed below in IV. Discussion of Comments and Changes. The interim rule, with the exception of the three paragraphs, became effective on March 17, 2009. Under the interim rule, the three paragraphs regarding equipment installed on or after January 1, 2005, were set to become effective on October 13, 2009. Under this final rule, however, the three paragraphs as amended by the final rule are effective October 13, 2009. The Coast Guard is making these paragraphs effective less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1) and (3) because the three paragraphs relieve a restriction otherwise imposed by the interim rule that would take effect within 30 days of publication of this final rule. Specifically, the three paragraphs relieve the burden on ship owners with equipment installed on or after January 1, 2005, from having to comply with the rule's requirements by October 13, 2009, and instead add a compliance date tied to the vessel's drydock or vessel survey schedule, as applicable. Requiring ship owners to comply with these requirements on October 13, 2009, until an effective date thirty days after the publication of this final rule would cause unnecessary burdens and confusion and, therefore, would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. As such, the Coast Guard has determined that it has good cause for immediate implementation of these three paragraphs. The remaining provisions of this final rule become effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. III. Background and Purpose The discussion of the background that follows largely repeats the discussion of the background and purpose set forth in the interim rule. This final rule will implement international standards for oil pollution prevention equipment designed for ships and oil tankers. These standards address the testing, certification, and approval for oil pollution prevention equipment, including discharge monitors, which will help prevent oily discharges from a ship into the water. A. Types of Equipment There are three types of equipment involved in this rulemaking that deal with oil, water, and other substances: A bilge separator (also referred to as oily-water separator), is designed to produce an effluent from the bilge of ships with oil content of 15 parts per million (ppm) or less; and A bilge alarm is designed to activate an automatic stopping device when the oil content concentration of an effluent exceeds 15 ppm, and thus stop any discharge overboard of oily mixtures with an oil content exceeding 15 ppm. An oil content meter (hereinafter ``meter'') is a piece of equipment in an oil discharge monitoring and control system (hereinafter ``monitoring system'') on an oil tanker. The system processes oil-tanker ballast and tank-washing water and monitors the discharge into the sea of oily ballast or other oil-contaminated water effluent from the cargo tank areas. The meter measures the oil content of the effluent in ppm. B. Authority Under the Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships, Public Law 96-478, sections 2 and 4, 94 Stat. 2297, 2298 (Oct. 21, 1980), 33 U.S.C. 1901 and 1903, the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating is authorized to prescribe any necessary or desired regulations to carry out the provisions of the Act and of Annex I (Regulations for the prevention of pollution by oil) of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating to that Convention (MARPOL 73/78). Under the Act of August 26, 1983, Public Law 98-89, 97 Stat. 500, 504, 522, subtitle II of title 46 of the U.S. Code (46 U.S.C.), specifically 46 U.S.C. 3703, the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating is authorized to issue equipment regulations, and related maintenance and training regulations for vessels carrying liquid bulk dangerous cargo, including oil. Authority under both of these acts has been delegated to the Coast Guard under Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1 II(77) and (92)(b). C. International Standards Being Implemented This rulemaking implements revisions to the international oil pollution prevention standards for ships in MARPOL Annex I, specifically regulations 14, 18, and 31. Under Article 38 of the Convention on the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee (Committee) is designated to consider IMO matters involving the prevention and control of marine pollution from ships. In 1992, during its 33rd session, the Committee adopted a resolution, MEPC.60(33), containing guidelines and specifications for pollution prevention equipment for machinery space bilges of ships. In 2003, recognizing the advancement of technology since 1992, the Committee adopted resolution MEPC.107(49), which contained new guidelines and specifications that superseded those adopted in 1992. The MEPC.107(49) changed the fluids used to test pollution prevention equipment so they would more closely represent the bilge wastes encountered on vessels. Emulsified oil in water, surfactants (for example, detergents), and other contaminants are typically found in bilge water. Under MEPC.107(49), the bilge separator must be capable of separating the oil from the [[Page 52415]] emulsion to produce an effluent with an oil content not exceeding 15 ppm. The MEPC.107(49) also changed the method by which oil content is measured in effluent samples during the approval process. Past methods permitted the use of ozone-depleting solvents, specifically carbon tetrachloride and Freon 113 (CFC 113). Both an international treaty and United States laws call for phasing out the use of these solvents. See the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, (``Montreal Protocol''), Sept. 16, 1987, 26 I.L.M. 1550, and Title VI of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7671-7671q. Accordingly, MEPC.107(49) specifies a different test method that does not use ozone-depleting solvents. The MEPC.107(49) guidelines and specifications were incorporated into Annex I after the 2004 adoption of resolution MEPC.117(52), which led to the revision of MARPOL Annex I. On January 1, 2007, the revised Annex I came into force. Resolution MEPC.107(49) is incorporated into Regulation 14 (Oil filtering equipment) of the revised Annex I. Additionally, in 2003, the Committee also adopted resolution MEPC.108(49), which revised guidelines and specifications for oil discharge monitoring and control systems for oil tankers constructed after 2004. These new guidelines and specifications were incorporated into Regulations 18 (Segregated Ballast Tanks) and 31 (Oil discharge monitoring and control system) of the revised Annex I and apply to oil content meters as part of oil discharge monitoring and control systems installed on tankers constructed after 2004. The new MEPC.108(49) guidelines and specifications call for:
Only one category of a monitoring system to apply to all tankers of 150 gross tonnage and above; The monitoring system to be able to record position (latitude and longitude) from a vessel-position indicating device, allowing more accurate input of speed parameters; Greater control of oil mixture discharges by tightening the accuracy requirements for both the oil content meter and the flow meter; and A more objective specification for identifying crude oils: simply by number and assigned characteristics and parameters--such as density, viscosity, and cloud point--rather than geographical denominations used in Resolution A.586(14). See IMO Subcommittee on Ship Design and Equipment Report to the Maritime Safety Committee, DE 46/32 at 12 & 13 (April 4, 2003). IV. Discussion of Comments and Changes In response to our request for comments on the three paragraphs--33 CFR 155.350(a)(3), 155.360(a)(2), and 155.370(a)(4)--in the interim rule, we received five comments from three commenters. One comment was submitted jointly by two commenters who generally agree with the interim rule, but suggest that the Coast Guard adopt a pollution standard stricter than the 15 ppm set forth in MARPOL Annex I. While the Coast Guard appreciates the support for the interim rule, the commenters' suggestion to adopt a maximum oil discharge limit lower than 15 ppm is outside the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard. The four remaining comments came from a manufacturer, and one of his comments specifically addressed 33 CFR 155.350(a)(3), one of the three delayed-effective date paragraphs on which we sought public comment in the interim rule. The three other comments sought clarification to other aspects of the interim rule. The Coast Guard provided the below responses to these four comments in direct communications to the manufacturer, unless noted otherwise. A summary and the substance of those communications are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. Regarding 33 CFR 155.350(a)(3), the commenter asked for clarification on when ship owners would have to comply with the requirement set forth in paragraph (a)(3), which will become effective on October 13, 2009. The commenter noted that it appears this paragraph requires all equipment installed after 2004 to be supplied or upgraded to satisfy these new international standards in MEPC.107(49), and asked if this needs to be accomplished by October 13. The Coast Guard's initial response in a direct communication to the manufacturer, which is included in the docket, deferred addressing this comment until the close of the comment period. The Coast Guard recognizes that it may not be feasible for ship owners to comply with the requirements in Sec. 155.350(a)(3) by October 13, and in response to this comment, we are adding an implementation period to allow ship owners to budget and plan for the work required to comply. Under revised paragraph (a)(3), a vessel owner must install equipment meeting the new requirements in MEPC.107(49) by one of two dates, as set forth in new paragraphs (a)(3)(i) and (a)(3)(ii): either the date of the vessel's first drydock following October 13, 2009, or for those vessels going into international service for the first time since January 2005, the date of its first survey prior to receiving its International Oil Pollution Prevention (IOPP) certificate. The Coast Guard is making the same change to paragraphs 155.360(a)(2) and 155.370(a)(4). The manufacturer's second comment requested clarification on the interim rule's affect on his backlog of equipment that complies with the older international standard, MEPC.60(33), and is ordered but not yet installed. The commenter noted that the interim rule may preclude the installation of any MEPC.60(33) equipment after March 17, 2009. The Coast Guard's response to this comment is that equipment that has not been physically installed must comply with the current regulations, i.e., the MEPC.107(49) standard. The commenter's third comment asked for clarification of whether, under the interim rule, bilge alarms replaced after March 17, 2009, on separators installed prior to January 1, 2005, must be replaced with bilge alarms complying with the revised 46 CFR 162.050 specifications. The Coast Guard notes this comment concerns what is meant by the term ``good working order.'' After March 17, 2009, if a bilge alarm approved to MEPC.60(33) needs to be replaced, then it may be replaced by a bilge alarm approved to MEPC.60(33), but only for separators approved to MEPC.60(33) that were installed on the ship prior to January 1, 2005. This is allowed in recognition of the need for compatibility between the separator and bilge alarm, as well the relative ease to replace a bilge alarm. Separators approved to MEPC.60(33) that were installed on the ship prior to January 1, 2005, may continue to be used as long as they are maintained in good working order, which includes basic or routine maintenance and repair of such separators as well as replacement of components and consumables. If, however, a separator approved to MEPC.60(33) needs to be replaced, regardless of when it was installed on the ship, then it must be replaced with a separator approved to MEPC.107(49). In this case, the separator approved to MEPC.107(49) must also have a bilge alarm approved to MEPC.107(49). Finally, the commenter's fourth comment sought confirmation that the definition of the term ``expired'' as used in the preamble to the interim rule (74 FR 3375) has the same meaning as ``expired'' on the United States Coast Guard Maritime Information Exchange Web site, Approved Equipment [[Page 52416]] Definitions. http://cgmix.uscg.mil/Equipment/Definitions.aspx.\2\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ ``EXPIRED--Product's approval has expired, and the approval holder has not notified us whether it should be extended or terminated. Pending resolution of its status, the product is no longer approved for production. Items manufactured prior to expiration of the approval are considered APPROVED.'' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Coast Guard response to this comment is that a bilge alarm or separator installed on a ship on or after January 1, 2005, but not having approval under MEPC.107(49), is subject to the requirements of 33 CFR 155.350, 155.360, and 155.370, (see 74 FR 3363 and 74 FR 6358), namely the requirement to be replaced by equipment approved under MEPC.107(49) unless it is determined to be unreasonable or impracticable. Bilge alarms and separators installed prior to January 1, 2005, having a Certificate of Approval issued by the Coast Guard, can remain installed on the ship as long as they are maintained in good working order. Please note: A Certificate of Approval is issued by the Coast Guard to a manufacturer usually for a period of five years. This five-year period primarily affects the manufacturer and not the ship. Equipment of a type approved by the Coast Guard that is manufactured during this five year period in accordance with the terms of the certificate may be installed on a ship in order to meet the applicable requirements for approved equipment. There is no requirement, however, that equipment be removed when the Certificate of Approval expires. Discussion of Final Rule This rule finalizes the amendments set forth in the interim rule. A full discussion of the provisions of this rule may be found in the ``Discussion of Interim Rule'' section of the interim rule. 74 FR 3364, at 3375. We are making only one minor change to the interim rule in the final rule by adding implementation periods in 33 CFR 155.350(a)(3), 155.360(a)(2), and 155.370(a)(4), as discussed above. V. Incorporation by Reference The Director of the Federal Register has approved the material in 33 CFR 157.02 and 46 CFR 162.050-4 for incorporation by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552 and 1 CFR part 51. Copies of the material are available from the sources listed in 33 CFR 157.02 and 46 CFR 162.050-4. VI. Regulatory Analyses We developed this final rule after considering numerous statutes and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders. A. Regulatory Planning and Review This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. Public comments on the interim rule are summarized in Part IV of this preamble. The Coast Guard received no public comments, and have made no changes, that would alter our assessment of impacts in the interim rule. We have found no additional data or information that would change our findings in the interim rule. We have adopted the assessment in the interim rule as final. A summary follows. We estimated 176 existing vessels and 46 new vessels annually will be affected by this rule and incur additional costs for installing OWS and bilge alarms. We estimated the annual costs of the OWS and bilge alarms combined range from $9,000 to $19,000, depending on vessel type and size for both existing and new vessels: $9,000 for vessels below 400 gross tons; $13,000 for vessels 400 gross tons or more and less than 10,000 gross tons; and, $19,000 for vessels 10,000 gross tons and over. We estimated non-discounted annual costs for existing vessels at approximately $2.3 million and approximately $550,000 for new vessels, or about $2.9 million combined. We estimated the total 10-year present value cost of the rule to be $21 million or $25 million based on a seven or three percent discount rate (all values rounded). The benefits of this rule are improved environmental conditions from the use of PPE, which meets higher standards of pollution prevention. The new OWS equipment will better handle the separation of emulsified oils, surfactants, and contaminants from water. These pollutants will no longer be released into the environment because of these standards. See the assessments in the interim rule and the NPRM for additional details. B. Small Entities Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have considered whether this rule has a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000. In the interim rule, we certified under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that the proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. We have found no additional data or information that would change our findings in the interim rule. We have adopted the certification in the interim rule for this final rule. See the ``Small Entity'' sections of the interim rule and the NPRM for additional details. Therefore, the Coast Guard certifies, under 5 U.S.C. 605(b), that this final rule does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. C. Assistance for Small Entities Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offered to assist small entities in understanding the rule so that they could better evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the rule affects your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please consult Mr. Wayne Lundy, Office of Systems Engineering (CG-5213), Office of Design and Engineering Standards, U.S. Coast Guard, telephone 202-372-1379, e-mail email@example.com. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. D. Collection of Information This rule calls for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.3501-3520). The paperwork burden associated with the manufacture, laboratory testing, approval tests, and marking of pollution prevention equipment is addressed in the existing collection of information, OMB 1625-0035, entitled ``Title 46 CFR Subchapter Q: Lifesaving, Electrical and Engineering Equipment; Construction and Materials.'' The Office of Management and Budget renewed its approval of this collection of information on May 27, 2009. It will expire after the 3-year approval period ends on May 31, 2012, unless renewed again. E. Federalism A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct [[Page 52417]] effect on State or local governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial direct cost of compliance on them. It is well settled that States may not regulate in categories reserved for regulation by the Coast Guard. It is also well settled, now, that all of the categories covered in 46 U.S.C. 3306, 3703, 7101, and 8101 (design, construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, operation, equipping, personnel qualification, and manning of vessels), as well as the reporting of casualties and any other category in which Congress intended the Coast Guard to be the sole source of a vessel's obligations, are within the field foreclosed from regulation by the States. (See the decision of the Supreme Court in the consolidated cases of United States v. Locke and Intertanko v. Locke, 529 U.S. 89, 120 S.Ct. 1135 (March 6, 2000).) The pollution prevention equipment regulations promulgated in this rule are within the field foreclosed from regulation by the States, and therefore preemption under E.O. 13132 is not an issue. F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. G. Taking of Private Property This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights. H. Civil Justice Reform This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden. I. Protection of Children We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and does not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may disproportionately affect children. J. Indian Tribal Governments This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. K. Energy Effects We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects under Executive Order 13211. L. Technical Standards The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress, through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. This final rule uses the following consensus standards that are not voluntary standards: IMO Assembly Resolution A.393(X)--Recommendation on International Performance and Test Specifications for Oily-Water Separating Equipment and Oil Content Meters; IMO Assembly Resolution A.496(XII)--Guidelines and Specifications for Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for Oil Tankers; IMO Assembly Resolution A.586(14)--Revised Guidelines and Specifications for Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for Oil Tankers; IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee Resolution MEPC.13(19)--Guidelines for Plan Approval and Installation Survey of Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for Oil Tankers and Environmental Testing of Control Sections Thereof; IMO Marine Environment Protection Committee Resolution MEPC.108(49)--Revised Guidelines and Specifications for Oil Discharge Monitoring and Control Systems for Oil Tankers; International Organization for Standardization Standard ISO 8217 (2005) Petroleum products--Fuels (class F)--Specification of marine fuels; International Organization for Standardization Standard ISO 9377-2 (2000), Water Quality--Determination of hydrocarbon oil index--Part 2: Method Using solvent extraction and Gas Chromatography. They are used because the United States is party to MARPOL Annex I and we must use these standards to effectively implement MARPOL Annex I regulations. The sections that reference these standards and the locations where these standards are available are listed in 33 CFR 157.02 and 46 CFR 162.050-4. M. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded that this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule is categorically excluded under section 2.B.2, figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(d) of the Instruction and under section 6(b) of the ``Appendix to National Environmental Policy Act: Coast Guard Procedures for Categorical Exclusions, Notice of Final Agency Policy,'' (67 FR 48243, July 23, 2002), from further environmental documentation. This regulation fits within these categorical exclusions because it concerns equipment approval and carriage requirements and implements regulations designed to protect the environment. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. [[Page 52418]] List of Subjects 33 CFR Part 155 Alaska, Hazardous substances, Oil pollution, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 33 CFR Part 157 Cargo vessels, Incorporation by reference, Oil pollution, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 46 CFR Part 162 Fire prevention, Incorporation by reference, Marine safety, Oil pollution, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 0 Accordingly, the interim rule amending 33 CFR parts 155 and 157 and 46 CFR part 162, which was published at 74 FR 3377 on January 16, 2009, as amended by the correction published at 74 FR 6358 on February 9, 2009, is adopted as a final rule with the following changes: TITLE 33--NAVIGATION AND NAVIGABLE WATERS PART 155--OIL OR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL POLLUTION PREVENTION REGULATIONS FOR VESSELS 0 1.

I Have not done a lot today, as I have not been feeling all that well. Maybe a cold or flu is announcing its arrival, I don't know. Never the less I have made some small steps of progress, which will be recorded this afternoon/evening.
These two guys have been sitting half done in my painting zone for ages, and with my Skeleton Horde double sub-project almost done, I thought I would plan, how to get them moved forward (and some space cleared on my cork-holder). Never mind the WGF Greatcoat Trooper.
I am now planning to get two points of Viking Warriors ready for SAGA, and as each point consists of eight models, I dug out six more from among my prepped and primed Dark Ages models, so that I can work on an entire point.
These were prepped before I started filling out the holes in the washers under the minis, so before doing anything else, I mended that on the six models below, now drying. I may have to do it on the two partly painted warriors, too, I do not remember if I did so before sticky-tacking them to the corks.
These, of course, are not exclusively for SAGA - they will see action in Blood Eagle (bolstering the ranks of Sigurdr Krage's warband), God of Battles (Dunlending allies for an Isengard, part of a Thousand Tribes army and/or the start of a Blood Gorged/Viking army), a Viking warband for Of Gods and Mortals, and a Wild Tribes warband for A Fantastic SAGA (tecnically, also SAGA; yes, but still).
Possiblities are Legio, and I look forward to getting a selection of these ready for the table!

Fitness has always been a huge love of mine! To me it makes my world go round. I started running with my mom when I was four at a local track. I'm 31 and haven't stopped. I'm the crazy mom pushing my kids in a double stroller in the heat, rain, or cold but I must say they have grown to love it!
I started personal training when I was 19 at 24 hour fitness. Eventually I started C3Fitness which later morphed into Humble Area Adventure Boot Camp . I finished at the University of Houston with a bachelors in Exercise Science.
Just a few days after turning 30 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Crazy I know but I felt a lump laying in bed one night and that's when the whirlwind began. Since then I have had a double mastectomy, chemo, radiation, and a hysterectomy. During all this my dad passed away so it was one crazy year to say the least. Thankfully I have an amazing husband, family, and friends who helped out with everything during that time.
Even though crazy things happen I always say I'm super thankful God chose me to be the light for Him. I love that sign from Dayspring that reads "God is Good All the time." Every time I get in a situation I'm unsure of I think of that saying. No matter what your situation God is Good All the time. We all just need to think of the positive and not the negative. I find it easier to say okay God how do you want me to use this situation for you? Sometimes I feel like just going through what He gives you with a smile is good enough for Him.
Through all this my love for nutrition grew even deeper. I have always eaten well. I just splurged a little too often. I also had little concern about the quality of food. I started doing research after starting chemo. I hated all the drugs that was being put into my body and wanted a way to feel better. Food was the trick. Now I am addicted to constantly learning and sharing new fitness and nutrition tips.
So as you can see I am a wife. I am a mother. I am a small business owner. I am a fitness expert. I wear a lot of different uniforms everyday. This blog is an opportunity for me to share my life with you and hopefully through my words, failures, victories and experiences we will learn together how to manage the chaos of life through FAITH, PATIENCE and LOVE.
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1
Welcome to Running Holm!!!
