Organic production is the only system that uses third-party inspection and certification to verify that no toxic and persistent pesticides or synthetic fertilizers have been used.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program conducts on-site audits of 100% of accredited certifiers. It is the only federal agency regulating food that conducts 100% inspections.
Every USDA-accredited certification agency inspects each certified operation annually. The inspection is on-site and reviews every component of the operation:
- The farm inspector inspects fields, seed sources, soil conditions, crop health, weed and pest management, water systems (for irrigation and post-harvest handling), storage areas, inputs, record-keeping, harvest and sales information, contamination and commingling risks and prevention and equipment.
- The livestock inspector inspects feed production and purchase records, feed rations, animal living conditions, production and sales information, preventive health care management practices, health records and overall animal health condition, and contamination and commingling risks and prevention measures.
- The handler or processing inspector inspects the facility and evaluates the receiving, processing, and storage areas.
The inspector assesses procedures to prevent contamination from prohibited substances and to prevent commingling with non-organic ingredients.
Organic certifiers do, in fact, currently conduct unannounced inspections on a portion of all their clients each year. ISO 65 accredited certifiers are required to conduct unannounced inspections.Certifiers currently conduct testing for pesticides, GMOs, antibiotics and other prohibited substances when contamination is suspected or when a complaint is received.
New rule possible
While the standards largely focus on the verification of procedures (process-based), testing is a tool used regularly to validate contamination prevention measures and/or to address complaints and reported contamination.
NOP has recently released a proposed rule that will require certifiers to annually conduct residue testing on 5% of their certified operations.
The required testing will be in addition to testing already conducted when contamination is suspected or complaints are received.
The final rule will clarify the required testing provision in the Organic Foods Production Act. The final rule is expected late this year.

Invisible Money 5 The Cloud Factory Revisited

Invisible Money 5
The Cloud Factory Revisited
Up The Ladder, Marius Kohl To Luc Frieden
Iddhis Bing
With the equivalent of 67 trillion dollars floating in and around what is known as the off-shore "shadow banking system" – in tax havens and fiscal paradises from Delaware to Mauritius, the isle of Jersey to Hong Kong – we return, via Ed Perrin's documentary, to Luxembourg to take a close look at how things work in one capital of guarded finance.1
Readers may recall that in 1998 the OECD – the thirty-four member, European-based Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation – agreed that "All members' tax thorities must communicate about Advance Tax Agreements," which effectively meant that if Starbucks wanted to camouflage its UK earnings by moving the money somewhere else, that somewhere else (if a member of the OECD) would have to notify Her Majesty's Revenue Collection, and the HRMC could object. OECD rules are, however, enacted "by consensus." Two member countries, Switzerland and Luxembourg, abstained, and thus, in the case of Starbucks, the money slipped away to Luxembourg, Starbucks cried poor, Her Majesty and subjects being none the wiser at least until hearings were held in November of this year. Luxembourg and Switzerland can therefore argue that they abide by OECD regulations, which are, as far as they're concerned, toothless.2
(Switzerland, grandaddy of the fiscal havens, is a bit more complex: unlike Luxembourg, there is movement inside the country to change its status as tax pariah numero uno.)3
Marius Kohl spends his days in a brick and glass pile in Luxembourg's capital. It's one of those mysterious post-modern sandwiches which perfectly merge form and function: it's impossible have even the slightest idea what goes on inside, which must be the point. 18, rue du Fort Wedell is where Kohl and his coworkers quietly wreek havoc withother countries' incomes, churning out tax schemes for companies like Pearson and GlaxoSmithKline that are the only real reason any is aware that Luxembourg exists.
Kohl is the head of Sociétés 6. The other five Sociétés divide their labors as follows:
Sociétés 1: ArcelorMittal, RTL Group, SES, Postes &Telecommunications Enterprises Luxembourg, Guardian group, Cactus, Match, Auchan and Monopol stores.
Sociétés 2: religious associations, the Friob group, and global corporations located in unlikely towns and hamlets from Bertrange to Winseler. It is precisely in places like that the 1,000s of sociétés anonymes listed in Perrin's documents have established their world headquarters, at least on paper. The pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline, under Kohl's purview in Sociétés 6, makes its home in the suburban hamlet of Mamer, just off the roadway to Belgium.
Sociétés 3: partnerships, limited partnerships, real estate companies, economic interest groups and European economic interest groups.
Sociétés 4: Commercial, industrial and craft groups covered by public law, associations and other communities; limited liability companies.
Sociétés 5: Farming cooperatives, resident commercial groups, insurance companies, the ASSEP savings and pension group, the CEPAL group.
Publicly available information all of the above, and no warrant to indict anyone. But one's curiosity is piqued reading a list such as that in Sociétés 1: what exactly is the present relationship between ArcelorMittal – a steel and mining transnational operating in over 60 countries worldwide, with revenue of USD 93.97 billion as of March 21, 2012 – and Luxembourg? We know that its owner, Lakshmi Mittal, exploits his resident status to pay no taxes in the UK where he lives. So we are entitled to a few suspicions.4
Lazy Sods
Perrin went to no. 18, with camera and crew, on an official visit, hoping to find Marius Kohl and importune him with a few questions. Perrin had ample evidence that Kohl's office was the most important of the bureaus, approving tax agreements for thousands of companies.
It was a weekday but, surprisingly, Marius Kohl wasn't around. He had taken a day off, or so the pesky crew was told.
"In fact he was there. Later that afternoon, after we had left the building, I saw him quickly peer out his office window, but we didn't have time to get a picture before he hurried back to his desk."
"Luxembourg is not a big country," Perrin continued. "There are only two men above Kohl, Pascale Toussing, Assistant Director, and Guy Heintz, Director of the International section at Contributions Directes; after that, one meets the Finance Minister, Luc Frieden. That's the beauty of the place. Luxembourg is too small to ever produce an anomaly in its tax regime, and if you are seeking a safe haven for your money, it's fast and easy."
But not so fast and easy for some. The team from Cash Investigations, accompanied by Richard Brooks of Private Eye, slipped in the door to see if they could find Kohl, only to confront the haughty regard of the Luxembourgeois, who looked at them like losers.
"I learned how condescending the Luxembourgeois could be towards the bloody French," Perrin told me. "We were the lazy sods, the 35-hour a week gang, a bunch of inefficient Latin peasants. In a way, it's not so very different from the way the Flemish regard the Wallons in Belgium, who lost their dominance to the new rich on the block, those who wisely chose a new and more productive way. Luxembourg lost its industry and settled on finance. They feel proud of it, and they should."
From Luxembourg's point of view, France's loss is their gain. If the French had made other arrangements, companies like Arcelor and stars like Gerard Depardieu, who handed in his passport and fled to Belgium, would never have slipped across the border. Such is the attitude in all tax paradises towards troublesome outsiders: here they are, the peasants, with mud on their shoes, looking for dirt.
If the Cash Investigations group had no luck cornering Kohl, they fared better with Luc Frieden, who serves as public point man for Luxembourg's ingenious interpretation of European law and thus consented to letting himself be interviewed later on screen. Frieden is the heir apparent in Luxembourg and he takes his role seriously. Perhaps he saw the interview as one more skirmish in the war of the tax havens, to lift a phrase from Nicholas Shaxson. Frieden did not, in any case, count on Elise Lucet, who conducted the interview.
"If the description you made is accurate, I find it unacceptable"
Luc Frieden is a member of the Christian Social People's Party, and currently serves as Finance Minister. He, and not Vice-Premier and Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn, takes the lead in the tricky business of fending off attacks on Luxembourg's status quo. He is on record as saying, "Our financial approach is totally European and applies all laws in the struggle against financial criminality." He is very careful in his choice of words.5
It's very rare for a senior official in a tax haven to speak publicly and on the record. Readers of Shaxson's invaluable Treasure Islands know the many tactics, from coöptation to contempt to outright threats, that are employed to avoid doing exactly that. So it's worthwhile to watch Frieden closely while he dances around the issues. It exposes the logic tax havens use to keep a respectable face on what they do.
For the sake of brevity, the interview is excerpted here.6
Cash Investigations: We've seen a lot of those docs. They cover Liechtenstein, the Caymen Islands and… Luxembourg. If we're talking about tax havens, we find you, Luxembourg, in the middle of those schemes.

Demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological research and related apologetic investigation.
The account in the Synoptic gospels of the demoniacs of Gadara is a pivotal event in the Galilean ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. This event is recorded in all three Synoptic gospels (Matt. 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-39). This paper will examine several "problems" relating to this account and then an attempt will be made to place it in proper perspective in relation to the whole of the Lord Jesus' ministry.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was speechless as I opened the box of invitations!! They are beautiful and perfect! The designer I was placed with did such a wonderful job of listening to me and changing the proofs until they were just right. The invites came packaged very well and I could not ask for more!!"
"Both my fiance and I loved this card when it was sent to us as a sample, so we ordered it after showing our moms, who loved it just as much. The paper is not as thick as I was thinking but for the price it is perfect (we got the shimmer paper). The purple print looks beautiful."
"Really helpful and proactive advice from the designers (understanding exactly what we wanted), great quality product (we'd received several samples from other companies and were worried about the invites being flimsy, but these (on the premium thick card) are amazing)."
"These wedding invitations turned out beautiful, I couldn't be happier. I had one small issue, called Customer Service and they went above and beyond to help me. Wedding Paper Divas is an awesome company with exceptional customer service!"
"This card was exactly what we were looking for. It fit our vintage theme for our wedding. The card looks like it was water painted. I loved the look of the colors and how they popped on the card. The quality of the paper was very nice and looked elegant. The shipping was fast and right on time. I am very pleased with my purchase."

As I thought about starting a new year, one thing came to mind: A New Beginning. Making resolutions is all about starting over. It's all about trying to be a better person. The concept of a new beginning is where I thought about the butterfly. A butterfly symbolizes new life...a new beginning.
This past week I had someone email me and ask me some questions about digital scrapbooking. I don't know this woman at all, but felt impressed to click on her blog that she had listed under her name. As I read on her blog, I was touched about her story about losing her baby boy Wyatt when he was only 6 months old. When she was in the hospital with her son, she recognized a butterfly displayed on the door. She later learned that the hospital puts butterflies on the doors of those who are on their way out of this world.
A couple months later she was swimming with her daughter when a large and beautiful butterfly came near them. She felt that it was Wyatt letting her know he was near. She said, "Since then I have noticed so many butterflies. Almost everyday there has been a butterfly fly by our car as we are driving, in our back yard or on our morning walks. I now call them my " Wyatt moments." So, the next time you see a butterfly take a second and have a 'Wyatt moment' to remember our sweet little boy."
Andrea, I am dedicating this kit to you. I hope that as we take part in this new year, that we notice all of those little simple things that are so beautiful for us to enjoy. Things like butterflies, and children, and laughter, and time. Our world is an amazing place and sometimes we just need to stop and recognize it. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year!

The sufferings of Jerusalem. (1-7) Encouraging prospects, and the destruction of her enemies. (8-15) The holiness of the latter days. (16-21)
Verses 1-7 The Lord Jesus often stood upon the Mount of Olives when on earth. He ascended from thence to heaven, and then desolations and distresses came upon the Jewish nation. Such is the view taken of this figuratively; but many consider it as a notice of events yet unfulfilled, and that it relates to troubles of which we cannot now form a full idea. Every believer, being related to God as his God, may triumph in the expectation of Christ's coming in power, and speak of it with pleasure. During a long season, the state of the church would be deformed by sin; there would be a mixture of truth and error, of happiness and misery. Such is the experience of God's people, a mingled state of grace and corruption. But, when the season is at the worst, and most unpromising, the Lord will turn darkness into light; deliverance comes when God's people have done looking for it.
Verses 8-15 Some consider that the progress of the gospel, beginning from Jerusalem, is referred to by the living waters flowing from that city. Neither shall the gospel and means of grace, nor the graces of the Spirit wrought in the hearts of believers by those means, ever fail, by reason either of the heat of persecution, or storms of temptation, or the blasts of any other affliction. Tremendous judgments appear to be foretold, to be sent upon those who should oppose the settlement of the Jews in their own land. How far they are to be understood literally, events alone can determine. The furious rage and malice which stir up men against each other, are faint shadows of the enmity which reigns among those who have perished in their sins. Even the inferior creatures often suffer for the sin of man, and in his plagues. Thus God will show his displeasure against sin.
Verses 16-21 As it is impossible for all nations literally to come to Jerusalem once a year, to keep a feast, it is evident that a figurative meaning must here be applied. Gospel worship is represented by the keeping of the feast of tabernacles. Every day of a Christian's life is a day of the feast of tabernacles; every Lord's day especially is the great day of the feast; therefore every day let us worship the Lord of hosts, and keep every Lord's day with peculiar solemnity. It is just for God to withhold the blessings of grace from those who do not attend the means of grace. It is a sin that is its own punishment; those who forsake the duty, forfeit the privilege of communion with God. A time of complete peace and purity of the church will arrive. Men will carry on their common affairs, and their sacred services, upon the same holy principles of faith, love and obedience. Real holiness shall be more diffused, because there shall be a more plentiful pouring forth of the Spirit of holiness than ever before. There shall be holiness even in common things. Every action and every enjoyment of the believer, should be so regulated according to the will of God, that it may be directed to his glory. Our whole lives should be as one constant sacrifice, or act of devotion; no selfish motive should prevail in any of our actions. But how far is the Christian church from this state of purity! Other times, however, are at hand, and the Lord will reform and enlarge his church, as he has promised. Yet in heaven alone will perfect holiness and happiness be found.
Zechariah 14:1-21 . LAST STRUGGLE WITH THE HOSTILE WORLD POWERS: MESSIAH-JEHOVAH SAVES JERUSALEM AND DESTROYS THE FOE, OF WHOM THE REMNANT TURNS TO THE LORD REIGNING AT JERUSALEM.
1. day of the Lord--in which He shall vindicate His justice by punishing the wicked and then saving His elect people ( Joel 2:31 , 3:14 , Malachi 4:1 Malachi 4:5 ).
thy spoil . . . divided in the midst of thee--by the foe; secure of victory, they shall not divide the spoil taken from thee in their camp outside, but "in the midst" of the city itself.
2. gather all nations, &c.--The prophecy seems literal (compare Joel 3:2 ). If Antichrist be the leader of the nations, it seems inconsistent with the statement that he will at this time be sitting in the temple as God at Jerusalem ( 2 Thessalonians 2:4 ); thus Antichrist outside would be made to besiege Antichrist within the city. But difficulties do not set aside revelations: the event will clear up seeming difficulties. Compare the complicated movements, Daniel 11:1-45 .
half . . . the residue--In Zechariah 13:8 Zechariah 13:9 , it is "two-thirds" that perish, and "the third" escapes. There, however, it is "in all the land"; here it is "half of the city." Two-thirds of the "whole people" perish, one-third survives. One-half of the citizens are led captive, the residue are not cut off. Perhaps, too, we ought to translate, "a (not 'the') residue."
3. Then--In Jerusalem's extremity.
as . . . in . . . day of battle--as when Jehovah fought for Israel against the Egyptians at the Red Sea ( Exodus 14:14 , 15:3 ). As He then made a way through the divided sea, so will He now divide in two "the Mount of Olives" ( Zechariah 14:4 ).
4. The object of the cleaving of the mount in two by a fissure or valley (a prolongation of the valley of Jehoshaphat, and extending from Jerusalem on the west towards Jordan, eastward) is to open a way of escape to the besieged (compare Joel 3:12 Joel 3:14 ). Half the divided mount is thereby forced northward, half southward; the valley running between. The place of His departure at His ascension shall be the place of His return: and the "manner" of His return also shall be similar ( Acts 1:11 ). He shall probably "come from the east" ( Matthew 24:27 ). He so made His triumphal entry into the city from the Mount of Olives from the east ( Matthew 21:1-10 ). This was the scene of His agony: so it shall be the scene of His glory. Compare Ezekiel 11:23 , with Ezekiel 43:2 , "from the way of the east.
5. ye shall flee to the valley--rather "through the valley," as in 2 Samuel 2:29 . The valley made by the cleaving asunder of the Mount of Olives ( Zechariah 14:4 ) is designed to be their way of escape, not their place of refuge [MAURER]. JEROME is on the side of English Version. If it be translated so, it will mean, Ye shall flee "to" the valley, not to hide there, but as the passage through which an escape may be effected. The same divinely sent earthquake which swallows up the foe, opens out a way of escape to God's people. The earthquake in Uzziah's days is mentioned ( Amos 1:1 ) as a recognized epoch in Jewish history. Compare also Isaiah 6:1 : perhaps the same year that Jehovah held His heavenly court and gave commission to Isaiah for the Jews, an earthquake in the physical world, as often happens ( Matthew 24:7 ), marked momentous movements in the unseen spiritual world.
of the mountains--rather, "of My mountains," namely, Zion and Moriah, peculiarly sacred to Jehovah [MOORE]. Or, the mountains formed by My cleaving Olivet into two [MAURER].
Azal--the name of a place near a gate east of the city. The Hebrew means "adjoining" [HENDERSON]. Others give the meaning, "departed," "ceased." The valley reaches up to the city gates, so as to enable the fleeing citizens to betake themselves immediately to it on leaving the city.
Lord my God . . . with thee--The mention of the "Lord my God" leads the prophet to pass suddenly to a direct address to Jehovah. It is as if "lifting up his head" ( Luke 21:28 ), he suddenly sees in vision the Lord coming, and joyfully exclaims, "All the saints with Thee!" So Isaiah 25:9 .
saints--holy angels escorting the returning King ( Matthew 24:30 Matthew 24:31 , Jude 1:14 ); and redeemed men ( 1 Corinthians 15:23 , 1 Thessalonians 3:13 , 4:14 ). Compare the similar mention of the "saints" and "angels" at His coming on Sinai ( Deuteronomy 32:2 Deuteronomy 32:3 , Acts 7:53 , Galatians 3:19 , Hebrews 2:2 ). Phillips thinks Azal is Ascalon on the Mediterranean. An earthquake beneath Messiah's tread will divide Syria, making from Jerusalem to Azal a valley which will admit the ocean waters from the west to the Dead Sea. The waters will rush down the valley of Arabah, the old bed of the Jordan, clear away the sand-drift of four thousand years, and cause the commerce of Petra and Tyre to center in the holy city. The Dead Sea rising above its shores will overflow by the valley of Edom, completing the straits of Azal into the Red Sea. Thus will be formed the great pool of Jerusalem (compare Zechariah 14:8 , Ezekiel 47:1 , &c. Joel 3:18 ). Euphrates will be the north boundary, and the Red Sea the south. Twenty-five miles north and twenty-five miles south of Jerusalem will form one side of the fifty miles square of the Lord's Holy Oblation ( Ezekiel 48:1-35 ). There are seven spaces of fifty miles each from Jerusalem northward to the Euphrates, and five spaces of fifty miles each southward to the Red Sea. Thus there are thirteen equal distances on the breadth of the future promised land, one for the oblation and twelve for the tribes, according to Ezekiel 48:1-35 . That the Euphrates north, Mediterranean west, the Nile and Red Sea south, are to be the future boundaries of the holy land, which will include Syria and Arabia, is favored by Genesis 15:8 , Exodus 23:31 , Deuteronomy 11:24 , Joshua 1:4 , 1 Kings 4:21 , 2 Chronicles 9:26 , Isaiah 27:12 ; all which was partially realized in Solomon's reign, shall be antitypically so hereafter. The theory, if true, will clear away many difficulties in the way of the literal interpretation of this chapter and Ezekiel 48:1-35 .
6. light . . . not . . . clear . . . dark--JEROME, Chaldee, Syriac, and Septuagint translate, "There shall not be light, but cold and ice"; that is, a day full of horror ( Amos 5:18 ). But the Hebrew for "clear" does not mean "cold," but "precious," "splendid" (compare Job 31:26 ). CALVIN translates, "The light shall not be clear, but dark" (literally, "condensation," that is, thick mist); like a dark day in which you can hardly distinguish between day and night. English Version accords with Zechariah 14:7 : "There shall not be altogether light nor altogether darkness," but an intermediate condition in which sorrows shall be mingled with joys.
7. one day--a day altogether unique, different from all others [MAURER]. Compare "one," that is, unique ( Solomon 6:9 , Jeremiah 30:7 ). Not as HENDERSON explains, "One continuous day, without night" ( Revelation 22:5 , 21:25 ); the millennial period ( Revelation 20:3-7 ).
known to . . . Lord--This truth restrains man's curiosity and teaches us to wait the Lord's own time ( Matthew 24:36 ).
not day, nor night--answering to "not . . . clear nor . . . dark" ( Zechariah 14:6 ); not altogether daylight, yet not the darkness of night.
at evening . . . shall be light--Towards the close of this twilight-like time of calamity, "light" shall spring up ( Psalms 97:11 , 112:4 , Isaiah 30:26 , Isaiah 60:19 Isaiah 60:20 ).
8. living waters--( Ezekiel 47:1 , Joel 3:18 ).
former sea--that is, the front, or east, which Orientalists face in taking the points of the compass; the Dead Sea.
hinder sea--the west or Mediterranean.
summer . . . winter--neither dried up by heat, nor frozen by cold; ever flowing.
9. king over all . . . earth-- Isaiah 54:5 implies that this is to be the consequence of Israel being again recognized by God as His own people ( Daniel 2:44 , Revelation 11:15 ).
one Lord . . . name one--Not that He is not so already, but He shall then be recognized by all unanimously as "One." Now there are "gods many and lords many." Then Jehovah alone shall be worshipped. The manifestation of the unity of the Godhead shall be simultaneous with that of the unity of the Church. Believers are one in spirit already, even as God is one ( Ephesians 4:3-6 ). But externally there are sad divisions. Not until these disappear, shall God reveal fully His unity to the world ( John 17:21 John 17:23 ). Then shall there be "a pure language, that all may call upon the name of the Lord with one consent" ( Zephaniah 3:9 ). The Son too shall at last give up His mediatorial kingdom to the Father, when the purposes for which it was established shall have been accomplished, "that God may be all in all" ( 1 Corinthians 15:24 ).
10. turned--or, "changed round about": literally, "to make a circuit." The whole hilly land round Jerusalem, which would prevent the free passage of the living waters, shall be changed so as to be "as a (or the) plain" ( Isaiah 40:4 ).
from Geba to Rimmon--Geba ( 2 Kings 23:8 ) in Benjamin, the north border of Judah. Rimmon, in Simeon ( Joshua 15:32 ), the south border of Judah; not the Rimmon northeast of Michmash. "The plain from Geba to Rimmon" (that is, from one boundary to the other) is the Arabah or plain of the Jordan, extending from the Sea of Tiberias to the Elanitic Gulf of the Red Sea.
it shall be lifted up--namely, Jerusalem shall be exalted, the hills all round being lowered ( Micah 4:1 ).
inhabited in her place--( Zechariah 12:6 ).
from Benjamin's gate--leading to the territory of Benjamin. The same as Ephraim's gate, the north boundary of the city ( 2 Kings 14:13 ).
the first gate--west of the city [GROTIUS]. "The place of," &c. implies that the gate itself was then not in existence. "The old gate" ( Nehemiah 3:6 ).
the corner gate--east of the city [GROTIUS]. Or the "corner" joining the north and west parts of the wall [VILLALPANDUS]. GROTIUS thinks "corners" refers to the towers there built (compare Zephaniah 3:6 , Margin).
tower of Hananeel--south of the city, near the sheep gate ( Nehemiah 3:1 , 12:39 , Jeremiah 31:38 ) [GROTIUS].
king's wine-presses--( Solomon 8:11 ). In the interior of the city, at Zion [GROTIUS].
11. no more utter destruction--( Jeremiah 31:40 ). Literally, "no more curse" ( Revelation 22:3 ; compare Malachi 4:6 ), for there will be no more sin. Temporal blessings and spiritual prosperity shall go together in the millennium: long life ( Isaiah 65:20-22 ), peace ( Isaiah 2:4 ), honor ( Isaiah 60:14-16 ), righteous government ( Isaiah 54:14 , 60:18 ). Judgment, as usual, begins at the house of God, but then falls fatally on Antichrist, whereon the Church obtains perfect liberty. The last day will end everything evil ( Romans 8:21 ) [AUBERLEN].
12. Punishment on the foe, the last Antichristian confederacy (Isaiah 59:18,66:24'Ezekiel 38:1-39:29'Revelation 19:17-21'). A living death: the corruption ( Galatians 6:8 ) of death combined in ghastly union with the conscious sensibility of life. Sin will be felt by the sinner in all its loathsomeness, inseparably clinging to him as a festering, putrid body.
13. tumult--consternation ( Zechariah 12:4 , 1 Samuel 14:15 1 Samuel 14:20 ).
lay hold . . . on . . . hand of . . . neighbour--instinctively grasping it, as if thereby to be safer, but in vain [MENOCHIUS]. Rather, in order to assail "his neighbor" [CALVIN], ( Ezekiel 38:21 ). Sin is the cause of all quarrels on earth. It will cause endless quarrels in hell ( james 3:15 james 3:16 ).
14. Judah . . . fight at Jerusalem--namely, against the foe: not against Jerusalem, as MAURER translates in variance with the context. As to the spoil gained from the foe, compare Ezekiel 39:10 Ezekiel 39:17 .
15. The plague shall affect the very beasts belonging to the foe. A typical foretaste of all this befell Antiochus Epiphanes and his host at Jerusalem (I Maccabees 13:49; II Maccabees 9:5).
16. every one . . . left--( Isaiah 66:19 Isaiah 66:23 ). God will conquer all the foes of the Church, Some He will destroy; others He will bring into willing subjection.
from year to year--literally, "from the sufficiency of a year in a year."
feast of tabernacles--The other two great yearly feasts, passover and pentecost, are not specified, because, their antitypes having come, the types are done away with. But the feast of tabernacles will be commemorative of the Jews' sojourn, not merely forty years in the wilderness, but for almost two thousand years of their dispersion. So it was kept on their return from the Babylonian dispersion ( Nehemiah 8:14-17 ). It was the feast on which Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem ( Matthew 21:8 ); a pledge of His return to His capital to reign (compare Leviticus 23:34 Leviticus 23:39 Leviticus 23:40 Leviticus 23:42 , Revelation 7:9 , 21:3 ). A feast of peculiar joy ( Psalms 118:15 , Hosea 12:9 ). The feast on which Jesus gave the invitation to the living waters of salvation ("Hosanna," save us now, was the cry, Matthew 21:9 ; compare Psalms 118:25 Psalms 118:26 ) ( John 7:2 John 7:37 ). To the Gentiles, too, it will be significant of perfected salvation after past wanderings in a moral wilderness, as it originally commemorated the ingathering of the harvest. The seedtime of tears shall then have issued in the harvest of joy [MOORE]. "All the nations" could not possibly in person go up to the feast, but they may do so by representatives.
17. no rain--including every calamity which usually follows in the East from want of rain, namely, scarcity of provisions, famine, pestilence, &c. Rain is the symbol also of God's favor ( Hosea 6:3 ). That there shall be unconverted men under the millennium appears from the outbreak of God and Magog at the end of it ( Revelation 20:7-9 ); but they, like Satan their master, shall be restrained during the thousand years. Note, too, from this verse that the Gentiles shall come up to Jerusalem, rather than the Jews go as missionaries to the Gentiles ( Isaiah 2:2 , Micah 5:7 ). However, Isaiah 66:19 may imply the converse.
18. if . . . Egypt go not up--specified as Israel's ancient foe. If Egypt go not up, and so there be no rain on them (a judgment which Egypt would condemn, as depending on the Nile's overflow, not on rain), there shall be the plague . . . . Because the guilty are not affected by one judgment, let them not think to escape, for God has other judgments which shall plague them. MAURER translates, "If Egypt go not up, upon them also there shall be none" (no rain). Psalms 105:32 mentions "rain" in Egypt. But it is not their main source of fertility.
19. punishment--literally, "sin"; that is, "punishment for sin."
20. shall there be upon the bells--namely, this inscription, "Holiness to the Lord," the same as was on the miter of the high priest ( Exodus 28:36 ). This implies that all things, even the most common, shall be sacred to Jehovah, and not merely the things which under the law had peculiar sanctity attached to them. The "bells" were metal plates hanging from the necks of horses and camels as ornaments, which tinkled (as the Hebrew root means) by striking against each other. Bells attached to horses are found represented on the walls of Sennacherib's palace at Koyunjik.
pots . . . like . . . bowls--the vessels used for boiling, for receiving ashes, &c., shall be as holy as the bowls used for catching the blood of the sacrificial victims 1 Samuel 2:14 ). The priesthood of Christ will be explained more fully both by the Mosaic types and by the New Testament in that temple of which Ezekiel speaks. Then the Song of Solomon, now obscure, will be understood, for the marriage feast of the Lamb will be celebrated in heaven ( Revelation 19:1-21 ), and on earth it will be a Solomonic period, peaceful, glorious, and nuptial. There will be no king but a prince; the sabbatic period of the judges will return, but not with the Old Testament, but New Testament glory ( Isaiah 1:26 , Ezekiel 45:1-25 ) [ROOS].
21. every pot--even in private houses, as in the temple, shall be deemed holy, so universal shall be the consecration of all things and persons to Jehovah.
take of them--as readily as they would take of the pots of the temple itself, whatever number they wanted for sacrifice.
no . . . Canaanite--no unclean or ungodly person ( Isaiah 35:8 , 52:1 , Joel 3:17 ). Compare as to the final state subsequent to the millennium, Revelation 21:27 , 22:15 . MAURER not so well translates "merchant" here, as in Proverbs 31:24 . If a man would have the beginnings of heaven, it must be by absolute consecration of everything to God on earth. Let his life be a liturgy, a holy service of acted worship [MOORE].

Channel Guide: 'Rescue Me' Finale Goes Out at the Top of the Ladder
Channel Guide By Merrill Barr on September 7, 2011 | Comments (1)In 2004, Rescue Me premiered to an audience that just three years earlier has suffered one of the biggest tragedies of its lifetime. Since then, the show has gone on to be critically praised for its very real portrayal of life for those closest to (and sometimes far from) the tragedy of 9/11. From its dealings with PTSD in firefighters, the loss of relatives (both in blood and in spirit), and general themes about family, Rescue Me has never pulled any punches in the way it delivers its drama, and it all finally come to an end in the series finale.
Channel Guide: 'Rescue Me' Begins Its Final Trip Down The Streets of Manhattan
Features By Merrill Barr on July 13, 2011 | Comments (2)No one can deny that in the last ten years there has been a revolution in the world of basic cable television. The programs that air now are generations ahead of what the landscape used to be. And this summer we will see the end to one of the programs that ushered in that change, Rescue Me. Yes, sadly the boys of Ladder 62 will be hopping into the rig for the final time come the end of the season, but from what this reviewer has seen so far (seven of the nine episodes), the show has no plans in riding of quietly into the sunset.
It's been two months since a saw blade fell on Damien's head while the crew was trying to save Lou from a pile of coffins. And by the start of the opening credits his fate will be known. But that's not enough for the all mighty Tommy Gavin as he is now juggling two family lives, trying to be a father, husband and a confidant to Shelia. Mike and Sean finally get the memorial they have been fighting for, for Pat Maoney. And Lou receives a final warning from his doctor, but remember it's Lou, so don't take anything he says to be truthful… At least not yet.
Picking up right where last week left off, Mickey has shown up at the Gavin home after walking in on Tommy and Shelia. It isn't long before Janet finds out and now Tommy must convince her that it's over between him and Shelia. At the same time, Damien begins to seriously consider leaving the FDNY for good after a heart-to-heart with Mickey. To the point that he puts his papers in with Feinberg. Lou also gets some very depressing news about his health and his future as a fire fighter. And when the crew gets a call tonight, one of them won't be making it back for the nightly ball busting session.
It's a new day for 62 truck. Thanks to Needles political know how (and some video trickery) the fire house has been reopened. Tommy and Janet make a final decision regarding the future of their relationship. The fate of Sean and Mike's cancer ridden friend Pat Mahoney is revealed. Damien and Penny decide to take their relationship to the next level. Major developments: The fire house is re-opened. Damien hits a homer with Penny. Tommy and Janet begin a new. Tommy and Shelia end everything (supposedly). Pat Mahoney dies.
Things take a turn for the worse for 62 Truck when the fire house is closed by the city. But that isn't going to stop the FDNY boys from proving their worth to everyone. Tommy and Janet try to patch things up after learning the results of Tommy's "unusual" methods on Colleen. Damien begins to question his loyalty to the job. Major developments: Colleen has been cured of her alcoholism. The fire house has been shut down.
Upon arriving to a car crash, 62 truck comes upon the horrendous dead body of a young girl killed by a drunk driver. But this is no ordinary girl. This girl hits Tommy harder than any call ever before. Now Tommy will take it upon himself to cure Colleen before she meets the same fate. Animosity will also rise between Franco and Black Shawn, which will lead to a brutal end. Major developments: Actually, this episode is all set up. There are no major developments to speak of since we don't know the outcomes of any of the actions taken yet. What worked: Two words, Holy Shit! That's all I could think of when this episode was over. I mean, an alcohol baptism? How does someone in a writers room come up with something like that. It's out there, even by Rescue Me standards. But that's what made it so awesome. The execution of that scene was raw and emotional. Thank god that they didn't give any humor (except The Godfather bit, but I'll let that slide) to that scene at all. It was eerily perfect.
After a night of pure binging, Tommy wakes up with zero recollection of what occurred the night before. But that is the least of his worries, because upon his waking, he learns that Colleen has disappeared after spending the night with him. Now it's a race against the clock for 62 truck to find Colleen before the worst comes to fruition. On top of that, it turns out there is much more to Mickey and Teddy's master plan for Tommy than anyone expected.
After his heart attack, Lou is laid up in the hospital. Upon learning of this, The West Side Wild Men push up the date of their cook out. Now the crew has no choice but to bust Lou out of the hospital before all is lost. A man from Sean's past attempts to break out of the hospital with the rest of the crew. Tommy tries to find guidance from Father Phil, in an attempt to save his marriage. Damien begins dating Penny from West Side, but the crew just isn't going to stand for that. There may be more to Franco's and Janet's relationship than previously indicated. And the biggest question of all is answered… Who could pass for a doctor more, a black man or a Puerto Rican?
It's his first day back on the job and Tommy is already starting to feel the stress. Not to mention that this is going to be the most eventful shift in the history of 62 Truck. Sean and Mike also try and find a way to give back to the community. Lou realizes that there is much more wrong with him than his gut, and it won't end well for him.
Episode: 'Change' (Season 6, Episode 2) Airs: FX, Tuesdays, 10pm Episode synopsis: Tommy comes to terms with his dream and tries to do right by the people he has wronged. Major developments: Tommy finally admits to Lou the truth about what he saw when he died, unfortunately he also admits it inadvertently to the rest of the crew. But, no one is surprised by what he saw. Tommy also makes an attempt to tell Janet his true feelings for her, this too blows up in his face.
Rescue Me returns for its sixth season finale as Tommy tries to come to grips with what he saw on "the other side," while budget cuts threaten the fate of 62 truck.

The book was authored by Don and Diane Wells and published by Mountain Stewards, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Jasper, Ga.
Six years was given to documenting a part of the cultural heritage of the American Indians that is rapidly disappearing. While some of the information was published in the early 1900s, most of the data has "remained below the radar for years," according to Don Wells.
The book is based on interviews with tribal elders and extensive research.
The Indian Trail Trees are sacred to Native Americans and their preservation is of importance.
Although many of the trees can live to be 300 to 600 years old, some are near the end of their lives. Others have been destroyed by urban development or vandals.
The true meaning of the trees are not completely known, Wells said.
Some of the trees are found marking old trails, some point to water, shelter, stream crossings, medicine plant sites and more.
The techniques for bending a tree into a particular shape have, for the most part, been lost, Wells said.
However, these "living artifacts" are a testimony to the skills and knowledge of the American Indians being one with nature.
Most of the traditions were transferred through oral means. Each year at festivals and family gatherings, the elders told the historical and mythological stories of the tribe.
After the white settlers and missionaries came, the oral stories began to disappear. By the time of the Trail of Tears, many significant parts of the American Indian culture and history had been lost and with each succeeding generation, more knowledge faded.
Wells said the methodology of bending the trees and their meaning was part of what has been lost.
"Probing the evidence will allow us to recover, explore and preserve this fascinating part of Indian culture. In addition to the book, a video documentary is being developed that will show the ingenious and resourceful ways the Native Americans used trees."
He said interviews, historical research — both oral and written, dendrochronology, GPS, satellite systems and sophisticated computer-based mapping programs are being used to validate the extensive geographic knowledge Native Americans possessed."
He said, over the last six years more than 1,800 bent trees have been documented in 39 states. Some of the trees clearly marked trails.
Wells said GPS and digital topographic technology are being used to correlate trees with Indian trails and village sites.
The Stewards have partnered with WildSouth Inc. of Asheville, N.C., and Moulton, Ala. The organizations are collecting cultural and historical data of Native American tribes in the Southeastern United States.
The first project is mapping for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians in Cherokee, N.C., and the surrounding territory of western North Carolina. The work was completed in 2011.
The team of researchers are now focusing on finding the trails within the Qualla Boundary of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians.
The book is available on the Mountain Stewards' website: www.mountainstewards.org.

Mom's Angel
I first came upon the Angel during a holiday visit to my mother's home. Fresh from morning ablutions, I became aware of a mysterious force, an aura, radiating from a shelf, which, like the entire bathroom, was cluttered with ointments, salves, potions, scents, herbal remedies, soaps, unguents, cleansing agents, combs, brushes, dozens of towels, and multiple other artifacts.
Carefully excavating the area whence emanated this energy, I discovered
[cue The Theme From Raiders of the Lost Ark & pause for effect … 2, 3, 4]
The Angel.
Close inspection demonstrated the Angel to be constructed from high quality mock-terra cotta and modeled after perhaps a four year old boy, rosy of cheek and reverent of aspect. Nice enough perhaps, but nothing special.
Two qualities, however, render the Angel striking.
Angel Pump
First, there arises from the top of the afore-described cherub's head not the expected halo but a plastic device which dispenses lotion. Based on my research (the 600 years of my childhood spent in church services, much of it devoted to leafing through illustrated Bibles as an intellectually safe haven from sermons that alternated between terrifying and tedious), I am certain that functional pumps are not a typical feature of angels, seraphim, cherubim, archangels, or even preschool males. Yet, far from rendering the Angel grotesque, this feature actually makes him more accessible and touching.
Apparently Aberrant Angel Anatomy
Less obvious but far more intriguing is a second apparent anatomical aberration. Other than the expected wings and the sprouting (from the head) and spouting (viscous white fluid) dispenser, the anatomical elements of the Angel's body are identifiable analogues of those belonging to a male child – above the waist. Below that level, however, are two orbs which initially appear to be angelic buttocks inexplicably rotated 180 degrees from their expected position and just as inexplicably (this is an angel after all) displayed for all to see.
Recognizing the theological crisis and commercial catastrophe that such an interpretation would ferment, I searched for another explanation and almost immediately realized that this portion of the angel resembled a rather voluptuous bosom belonging perhaps to a teenage, distinctly female angel. Still, I found it difficult to formulate a premise that would explain why a winged male torso was plopped atop a female angel's breasts.
The Iconic Precedent – Land O' Lakes Indian Princess Knees To Breasts Transformation
The resolution of this moral and spiritual conundrum, I'm proud to point out, was the direct result of Midwestern culture, specifically, the classic adolescent amusement of folding the Land O' Lakes butter carton such that the Indian Princess's knees become her breasts.
Inverting that process, I comprehended, and intellectual honesty compels me to conclude, albeit with some disappointment, that those opposing semi-globes just below the Angel's waist are indeed juvenile angel legs and knees of ambiguous gender in prayer posture. Crisis averted.
The Angel is, nonetheless, an outstanding example of the rare Compound Pseudo-callipygian Pseudo-mammary Pre-adolescent Male Anterior Distal Femoral Phenomenon, Supernatural Category (CPCPMPMADFPSC for short) and a classic worthy in its own right of its enshrinement in my mother's bathroom grotto.

Soft, dense, moist, chewy, cinnamon-filled, well-developed toffee flavor. All of the above are words that I would use to describe Penny's Low Fat Desserts No Sugar Added Toffee Cinnamon Cookie. "Is it artificially sweetened?" I hear you asking. No. It's naturally sweetened with rebiana (stevia) and erythritol. The sweetness tastes so natural and embodies the idea of toffee just perfectly. I am not really sure who came up with this combination of ingredients to create such a uniquely delicious product, but they hit the nail on the head.
The irresistible texture is comparable to that of a deliciously dense, soft, moist, homemade banana bread. The buttery, cinnamon, caramel-like flavor is unlike anything I have ever had before in a healthy baked good. I have had MANY 100 calorie snacks in my days as a food reviewer and let me tell you, this is one of the most satisfying ones to date.
This flavor-packed, sinful baked good only contains 100 calories, 2.5 grams of total fat, 6 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar and protein. There is also 14 grams of sugar alcohols. Remember too much sugar alcohols can cause GI upset, which I didn't experience, but I also didn't have more than 1 in a day.
The ingredients list is all natural, and starts with erythritol (not surprising considering the amount of sugar alchols shown on the nutrition facts),followed by oats, water, dried plums, whole wheat flour and more natural goodness.
I received samples from the company but I will surely be reordering some for myself. You can purchase a box of 16 delicious diabetic-friendly Penny's No Sugar Added Toffee Cinnamon Cookies for $28.99. A bit pricey, but worth it, for sure.

Flame Resistant Information |
Garment Care |
Garment Care Carhartt FR products are flame-resistant for the useful life of the garment, provided recommended care instructions are followed. Below are some facts related to flame-resistance and garment care. • FR garments can be home laundered - follow the care instructions on the label and the FR qualities will remain in the fabric for the useful life of the garment. • FR garments do not require special detergents, but detergent should not contain fabric softeners - the fabric softener doesn' t remove the FR treatment, but the fabric softener itself may coat the fiber and mask flame resistant performance. It may also serve as fuel in case of combustion. • FR fabrics do not have to be washed in specific temperatures, but temperatures provided on garment care labels are recommended to avoid excessive shrinkage. Temperatures in home laundries are fine for FR. In reality, temps can get too hot for FR garments and negatively affect the treatment, but that's not a factor in home laundering - home washers/dryers can't reach temperatures that high - industrial launderers are where you need to be careful of too much heat. So it's recommended to reference temperatures on garment care labels. • FR clothing does not have to be washed separately. The only reason someone would separate FR from regular clothing is to keep very dirty work clothes separate from the other clothes - the FR treatment has no negative impact on the other clothing • Don't use bleach - over time, bleach will break down the molecular bond between the fabric and the FR treatment • Don't use starch on FR garments because starch is a propellant • FR garments can be dry cleaned (as long as no starch is used) and ironed FR Denim garments are not recommended to be dry cleaned as the indigo dye in them can fade excessively from this cleaning method. • Don't use DEET on FR clothing - DEET is one of the most effective mosquito repellents on the market, but it should only be used on the skin, never on FR clothing. For the most effective mosquito and tick protection, use DEET based repellents on the skin (especially on exposed skin) and use a permethrin (the active ingredient in most lice shampoos) product washed into or applied to flame-resistant clothing. These products do not add any appreciable flammability to FR clothing and therefore do not affect its flame-resistant properties. When using permethrin in a spray form, use the WATER-BASED formulas only. Propellants are almost always flammable in this application, so the powder form washed into the clothing or the WATER-BASED spray formula is recommended. Laundering FR garments is as simple as following the recommended instructions on the garment care label. |
Insulated Outerwear Machine wash warm at a temperature not to exceed 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Do not use bleach, hydrogen peroxide, softeners or starch. Tumble dry low and remove promptly. Iron with low heat. Garments may be dry cleaned. For maximum color retention this garment should be washed in a large capacity commercial washing machine. Avoid overloading for best results. |
Canvas and Duck Garments Home laundering of our canvas and duck flame-resistant garments in colors Black and Dark Navy, may result in color streaking. While this issue does not degrade the safety of the garment, it does impact the aesthetic quality of the garment. To limit the potential for color streaking, we recommend commercial laundering of your Black and Dark Navy flame-resistant garment. Please ask that the garment is turned inside out prior to washing. |
Knit Shirts and Accessories Machine wash cold; using the permanent press cycle, separately. Do not use bleach, hydrogen peroxide, softeners or starch. Tumble dry low and remove promptly. Iron with low heat. Garments may be dry cleaned. |
Safety Standards |
NFPA 70E, the standard for electrical safety in the workplace, is published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The NFPA has served as an authority in the U.S. on fire, electricity and building safety since 1896. The purpose of the standard is to provide a "practical safeguarding of employees during activities such as the installation, operation, maintenance, and demolition of electric conductors, electric equipment, signaling and communications conductors." NFPA 70E is a voluntary consensus standard, not a law. However, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recognizes NFPA 70E as a generally accepted industry practice and has referenced it in citations. |
What is NFPA 2112 |
Published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) sets the ground rules for practical safeguarding of persons during the installation, operation, or maintenance of electric supply and communication lines and associated equipment. The NESC contains the basic provisions that are considered necessary for the safety of employees and the public under the specified conditions. Although not a federal law (some states do make the NESC law), NESC is a voluntary consensus standard, and is the standard OSHA refers to when abating electrical safety in the utility industry. Although the NESC has been in existence since 1973, the 2007 revision marked the first time that flame-resistant, arc-rated clothing was included as a safety requirement and the 2012 version expanded arc-rated clothing down to lower voltages with complete tables specifying apparel requirements from 4 cal/cm ² through 60 cal/cm ². |
General Information |
How does Carhartt flame-resistant clothing help protect against burn injury? If exposed to electric arc flashes or flash fires, clothing made from most untreated (e.g.,non-FR) fibers will continue to burn once ignited. In contrast, Carhartt FR clothing is specially designed to self-extinguish within two seconds after the source of ignition is removed - thereby limiting the worker's degree of burns, and body burn percentage. FR fabrics are not flame proof; however, they are specially designed to be flame-resistant. |
Carhartt flame-resistant clothing vs. traditional Carhartt clothing Carhartt FR clothing is clearly identified on the outside with a "Carhartt FR" label in place of the traditional Carhartt label. Additionally, all Carhartt FR clothes have external HRC rating tags - making it easy for supervisors and safety officers to see if workers are in compliance with regulations (Not all FR clothing is so labeled). ATPV values are shown on inside labels. In addition, product hangtags also distinguish Carhartt FR clothing. Garments that meet UL Classification for NFPA 2112 have a label sewn inside. |
Can the flame-resistant chemicals be washed out? No. Carhartt flame-resistant clothing is guaranteed to be flame-resistant for the useful life of the garment; regardless of the number of washings (servicings) in either the home or industrial laundering, provided the garment care instructions are followed. |
Will non-treated 100% cotton and other natural fibers help protect against possible burn injury?
Non-treated cotton and wool are flammable fibers. If exposed to electric arcs and flash fires, these materials will continue to burn causing possible severe injury and death. |
Treated Fabrics Treated fabrics are cotton or cotton-blend fabrics that are treated with chemicals that form a permanent bond with the fabric that cannot be washed out when the recommended laundering instructions are followed. The chemical treatment changes the molecular structure of the fabric. Carhartt uses FR-treated cotton fabrics for most styles. |
Inherent Fabrics Inherent fabrics are made with fibers that are designed to be flame resistant. Flame resistance is part of the fibers' DNA and is a permanent characteristic of the fabric. Modacrylic blends are commonly used inherent fabrics. Carhartt uses this blend for our inherently flame-resistant styles. |
Layering Many people ask about arc ratings when flame-resistant clothing is layered. The total arc rating cannot be determined by adding the ratings of the two items. In most cases the total arc rating is higher than the number calculated by simply adding the arc ratings from the two items. Layered testing is the only way to conduct testing to determine the total arc rating for layered FR garments. Carhartt has conducted layered testing for a variety of combinations, using some of our most popular FR clothing styles. The resulting layered arc rating of the various combinations are listed on the table below for your reference. |
What is EBT? Like ATPV, Breakopen Threshold Energy (EBT) is a rating assigned to FRC indicating the level of protection provided. EBT is used when ATPV cannot be measured due to flame-resistant fabric breakopen. EBT is also measured in calories per centimeter squared (cal/cm2). |
What is ASTM F1506? The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) developed F1506, the Standard Performance Specification for Flame Resistant Textile Material for Wearing Apparel for Use by Electrical Workers Exposed to Momentary Electric Arc and Related Thermal Hazards. This is a pass/fail standard that requires a sample of flame-resistant fabric to self extinguish with a <2 second afterflame and a <6" char length. The FR fabric must also stand up to these requirements after 25 washes/dry cleaning. All Carhartt flame-resistant garments meet the ASTM F1506 requirement. |
Who should determine what Arc Thermal Performance Value/Hazard Risk Category an FR user should be wearing? The ATPV/HRC protection level worn by an FR user should be determined by the user's employer. The employer must do a hazard risk assessment for the user's job and inform them of the protection level needed. This should never be determined by the apparel manufacturer (Carhartt) or the retailer. |
Can Carhartt flame-resistant clothing be used for wildland fire fighting? Carhartt flame-resistant clothing has not been tested to meet the requirements of NFPA 1977, The Standard for Protective Clothing and Equipment for Wildland Fire Fighting, therefore, Carhartt flame-resistant clothing is not recommended for this use. |
Is Carhartt flame-resistant clothing recommended for welding? Carhartt does not make any garments that are specifically designed to be worn while welding, or performing similar jobs that involve exposure to sparks and flames. Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing will protect better than 100% cotton or synthetic garments, because the FR fabric is self-extinguishing. However, flame-resistant clothing is susceptible to holes and fabric burns created by sparks and metal debris generated by activities such as welding. |
Can Carhartt Flame-Resistant Clothing be repaired? Yes. Carhartt FR Clothing can be repaired, but repairs must be made with fabrics and sewing threads that have at minimum the same flame-resistant properties as the original garment. |
Is flame-resistant thread required for embroidery applications? None of the current regulations governing the use of FR clothing specifically require the use of FR thread for embroidery applications. However, Carhartt recommends the use of flame-resistant thread for embroidery or emblem attachments. |
