An Independent Bible Believer Ministry
It is human to stand with the crowd, but it is Divine to stand-alone.
It is of human-nature to follow the people and drift with the tide. But it is Christ-like to follow doctrine and principle to stem that tide.
It is natural to compromise conscience to follow the social and religious fashion of the day, for sake of worldly-gain and worldly-pleasure. But it is divine to sacrifice both, on the altar of truth, accountability and true virtue.
"No man stood with me, but all men forsook me", wrote the battle scarred Apostle Paul on describing his first appearance before Caesar. This was to answer for his life's passion of believing and teaching contrary to the Roman and Jewish world-view.
Truth has been out of fashion since Cain attempted to initiate a new way of worship and this was after the incident in the Garden of Eden.
Noah built an Ark, then voyaged nearly alone. The theologians of that day mocked his strange doctrines and they perished in worldly style.
Abraham also wandered and worshipped nearly alone. The kings with their kingdoms of that day following worldly fashion, smiled at the simple shepherd; then were fed to the flames.
Daniel dined and prayed alone. Elijah sacrificed and witnessed alone. Jeremiah prophesied and wept alone. The Messiah Jesus Christ, loved… and died alone.
Of the lonely way His disciples should walk, Jesus said; "Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." (Matthew 7:14) Remember, this was stated to religious people, NOT to the world!
Of His disciples treatment by the religious masses who walk in the broad way, Jesus said,"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." (John 15:19).
The church in the wilderness praised Abraham and persecuted Moses. The church of the Kings of Israel-era praised Moses and Abraham, yet persecuted the prophets. The church of the Caiaphas-era praised the prophets, Moses and Abraham, yet persecuted Jesus who stuck to the Word of God. The churches of this modern era praise Jesus and persecute those who stick to the Bible (KJV).
Multitudes now, in both the churches and the world applaud the courage of the patriarchs, the prophets, the Apostles and martyrs, but their religious "leaders" condemn as stubbornness and foolishness, like faithfulness today.
Of this condemnation Jesus stated, "yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me." (John 16:2-3).
Jesus stated also, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven... (Matthew 7:21).
WANTED TODAY: men and women, young and old, who will obey the Biblical convictions of truth and duty at the cost of fortune, friends and… possibly life itself.
Most people at some point in their life, stumble across truth… But most all of them jump up, brush themselves off, then hurry on about their business as if nothing had ever happened… and then run, anytime they think they might see truth coming at them again!

Jenn-Air Refrigerator Defrost Assistance
Posted 19 July 2005 - 06:08 PM
I measured the defrost thermostat at 240K ohms both warm and cold. There was no difference if it was placed on a frozen pipe or a warm pipe. Should I read a short when it is placed on a frozen pipe?
I placed some test jumpers to the defrost heater and the heater began to glow with 120VAC on it.
I went to measure voltages on the wires going to the adaptive defrost module and I do not have detailed info on the function of each wire. I measured 120VAC on the yellow wire and around 50VAC on the white/black wire. It is not clear if there should be a neutral wire going to the defrost heater.
I am trying to determine if my defrost thermostat or adaptive defrost module is bad. Any help would be appreciative.

The first problem is that the defrost thermostat does not close when placed on a frozen pipe.
The second problem is when I jumpered the defrost thermostat the defrost heater did not come on since neither of the two wires from the adaptive defrost module to the defrost heater went to neutral.
I will force the adaptive defrost module into test mode tonight and see if the defrost heater powers up.
Is the defrost thermostat available as a seperate part or does it come with the defrost heater? When I put 120V to the defrost heater direct it glowed so I don't need to replace the heater just the thermostat.
Posted 20 July 2005 - 04:31 AM
I will be able to determine if the adaptive defrost module is working by putting a jumper across my defective defrost thermostat and forcing the adaptive defrost module in the test mode. The defrost heater should fire up and the compressor should power down during the defrost cycle.
The question remains can I purchase just the defrost thermostat without the defrost heater?

But, it makes it kind of difficult to help when no model numbers are supplied......
If you bypass the defrost terminator as you mentioned that you are going to try, then if the ADC is working correctly then all should work when put into test mode.
You say you put the defrost terminator against a frozen pipe to check, maybe this wasn't enough to close the terminator. It would be best to put the terminator in a known working freezer to make sure it is cold enough, (not hooked up just leave in freezer long enough to be sure it colder then 5-10degrees). The 240K ohms you are reading on the terminator is a resistor built into the terminator so as when it opens it can still supply the lower voltage to the ADC - I believe that is where the 50volts is coming from on the white/black wire to the ADC.

The defrost thermostat apperently comes with the heater on my model because they did not include spade terminals to seperate the two. I would consider splicing in a seperate terminator if I knew the open & close temperatures.
As it turns out when I put everything back together recently, I secured the terminator to the copper pipe by squeezing the pipe clamp together a bit. When I got home from work the defrost cycle was working properly.
As you suggested William, I may of not had the terminator against a cold enough pipe or not on a cold pipe long enough.
Another note when I went to measure voltages on the ADC, I was getting inconsistant results. When I remove the ADC module I noticed that the board is coated to protect it from moisture. The coating is also present on the pins from the connector to the circuit board. I did confirm that the ADC is switching the neutral wire between the defrost heater and the compressor to allow only one or the other to be powered. Both the ADC and defrost thermostat must occur to initiate the defrost cycle since the defrost thermostat provides the 120V to the heater and the ADC provides the connection to the neutral.
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.

This is the first time I've found the defrost terminator not listed as a seperate available part.
Although a very reasonalbe price for both parts together
Defrost heater & thermostat assembly $33.40 CLICK HERE
It sounds like maybe you just had a bad connection somewhere and by taking it all apart and cleaning connections you've solved your problem.
As far as I am aware of you will have problems if you could find the open and close temps and replaced the terminator with a generic one. The standard generic defrost terminators don't have the resistor in them to give the circuit through the terminator when it opens. I believe without the terminator with a resistor in it the first time the unit went into defrost when the terminator opened then the box would be dead and never go back into run mode because the ADC would not be getting the low voltage feedback through the defrost terminator.

Save yourself some grief. I had a similar issue with my Maytag. I tested voltages, OHMs, etc, eventually I said why am I doing this? The family is complaining that the fridge doesn't work, my wife actually moved the groceries into my beer fridge! It was too stressful. I ended up replacing the ADC the defrost terminator and heater (one unit). Only had to endure the week shipping time. Now I'm back to enjoying worry free cold beers after a hards day work.
After several weeks of a trouble free cold fridge, it went out. I ordered the defrost terminator/heater from repairclinic, several days later it arrived and took me only 10 minutes to install. Hopefully my warm beer days are over for awhile.
I was also tired of moving the food to the beer fridge however in my case I can subsitute Jack Daniels for cold beer.
Many thanks for all the helpfull advice, it was very much appreciated.

I spent over 20 years in Corporate America and became quite successful. The money was great and I learned a lot, but the commute was lousy, the meetings were boring, the emails were endless, and the pressure to cram my social life (and errands) into the weekends was overwhelming. What started out as a good thing was slowly but steadily turning into something that didn't work for me any more.
Time was spent in ways that didn't nourish the creativity that I'd pushed aside to fit into the corporate culture, I had fewer and fewer opportunities to teach and grow, and I had little time to stay physically fit (I didn't have spare time; in fact, I ate most of my meals at my desk or during the commute home). After knowing in my gut, and then being brave enough to say out loud, the sentence "My soul hurts," I began the journey away from a life that no longer suited who I'd become.
My search for what was next in my life led me to the work I was meant to do: life and career coaching. As a coach, I work with clients to explore new options for their life's work, to break through the thoughts and beliefs that hold them back from having the lives they know they were meant to live, and to create a plan that moves them in the direction of their right lives.
These days, I meet interesting people, have great conversations, don't commute unless I want to, travel to interesting places, and do a lot of it barefoot. Life is good.

text: thanks for the information, but what kind of filter do i use? most filters cause phase shifting and group delay. butterworth and bessel are too slow of cutoff, and chebyshev or elliptical cause ripples in the pass band. also if i use a polynomial waveshaper then i could filter for each term, right? for example if w(x) = x + x^2 + x^3, then i use a low pass at one-half of the nyquist frequency then calculate x^2 and i use a low pass at one-third of the nyquist frequency then calculate x^3 but use no filter for the first term x. also using linear interpolation and a simple 1-pole lowpass filter produces this formula: s1 = w(x[n]) s2 = w((x[n] + x[n-1])/2) a= 1 - e^(-pi) y[n] = a(s1 + s1) + (a^2)(y[n-1] - s2) + y[n-1] i think thats right, perhaps there is way to improve it. thanks, paul --- Nigel Redmon <earlevel at earlevel.com> wrote: > First, the part about not understanding how to do a > good filter for > decimation: The basics are simple--you just have to > understand why, > and you can make good choices.

text: Five Steps to Improve Open-Enrollment Communications By SHRM Online staff 8/19/2013 Permissions With key pieces of health care reform going into effect in 2014, U.S. plan sponsors have more issues than ever to consider this year as they prepare for their annual health benefits open enrollment. In response, HR consultancy Mercer is recommending these five communication steps to help plan sponsors maximize the value of their benefits while minimizing employee questions and concerns. 1. Communicate the impact of health care reform. Employees are already confused and fearing the worst, with 41 percent expecting that their situation will be worse off with health care reform. The best strategy is to communicate early and often to reduce fears, clarify misperceptions and help employees make smart benefits decisions. 2. Promote the role of wellness initiatives within an overall health benefits program. Among very large organizations that have measured the results of their wellness initiatives, more than 75 percent said their health management programs had a positive effect on their health medical plan cost trends. Yet, nearly 40 percent of employees who have access to wellness programs through their company indicate they do not use them. A targeted communication strategy can significantly boost wellness program participation. 3. Use online and mobile strategies for more convenient access to information and tools. In today's fast-paced, mobile-oriented world, people have less time to learn about their benefits, despite their need for more education. Mobile devices have become the dominant method of communication, with 56 percent of U.S. cellphone owners using their phones to access the Internet and 80 percent using their phones to text. An effective communication program delivers content and tools that can be viewed easily via a mobile device wherever and whenever an employee finds the time. 4. Empower employees to become informed consumers. Even employers that aren't making changes to their plans should give workers access to educational resources to help them navigate today's complicated health care landscape—and better understand and appreciate the value of the benefits they are offered. Better education can lead consumers to make more cost-conscious choices. For example, high-deductible consumer-directed health plans (CDHPs) can often have a positive impact on employees' and employers' bottom lines. Even so, among large companies that offered a CDHP alongside other medical plan choices last year, only 24 percent of their eligible employees enrolled. Some may be avoiding CDHPs because they do not understand how they work or that lower premiums can result in overall savings despite the higher deductible. People may also be unaware of the ways in which a health savings account can be used to build tax-advantaged savings for future care. 5. Anticipate questions to avoid being overwhelmed with calls. Health care reform's 2014 provisions will likely spark numerous questions.

7MM wby. Mag vs. 7MM Rem Mag.
(1/2) > >>
Can someone please shed some light on just what the difference is between the two. If someone could please explain the specification difference I would be very thankfull!
Magnum 7mm:
As far as ballistics, the Weatherby has a slight edge. I doubt any game animal you shoot will know the difference between the Rem. mag or the Weatherby mag. though. The Weatherby has the double radius shoulder that creates a longer case neck. I prefer the 7mm Weatherby, but I am a bit biased about Weatherby cartridges.
The real difference?
Approx. 150 fps depending upon loading data.
There can be huge differences between the two, when using factory ammo. Some of the 7mm Rem. offerings are downloaded quite a bit, & perform closer to a .270 or .280 than a magnum level cartridge. Handloading closes the gap, but the edge still goes to the 7mm Wby by 150 fps or so. more importantly, I have never shot a 7mm Wby that would not group. I've seen dozens of 7mm Rems. that won't put three rounds under 2 1/2 inches.
Actually IMO the 7mm weatherby has gotten a bad wrap because of the 300 weatherby in part. Nonetheless, the 7mm weatherby is a remarkable firearm and works quite well. I really do not appreciate the 7mm rem very much although it is decent. Maybe it is because I am a Mark V fan having 6 of them and fixing to get number 7. In my experience, the 7mm weatherby is accurate, does not kick very much and is easy to shoot.All you need is a reasonable scope and all else is in fact irrelevant.

Bringing economic growth to the district he represents; that is the focus for Delegate Gary Howell in
Howell says this all to bring new jobs for the people in his area as well as
"There is a great need for jobs here in
Howell is on the House Committee on Government Organization, overseeing state purchases. He wants a purchasing law proposed; holding the government and state exempt agencies more accountable. He says if laws are violated criminal penalties should be imposed.
"These things cost I think $25,000 to $28,000 each. They put a bunch of them in the storage," said Howell. "They said we will buy them ahead so we will have them for the future. We don't buy technology ahead it goes bad. The exact same router, the state paid $25,000 are now on eBay brand new for $1,500."
Howell says county health departments in the mountain state are allowed to implement health related ordinances without approval from the county. He feels no county department should have unilateral rule, so he wants county commission to vote on county health department laws.
"When you do stuff without any elected official oversight, that is basically totalitarianism, you know it's a dictatorship, we don't live in a dictatorship," said Howell. "We live in a representative democracy and I'm going to fight for freedom every time."
Howell also wants to re-propose the Intrastate Coal and Use act, which will allows coal companies to apply for mining permits with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection, instead of the EPA.

This type of vegetarian is known as a lacto-ovo-vegetarian. Lacto means milk and Ovo means egg, each of which is a Latin term. In addition to those terms, there is also a Lacto-vegetarian who will not eat eggs and an Ovo-vegetarian that will not consume dairy products, but will eat eggs. All the terminology is confusing, but it's important to remember these are all choices. If you choose to consume eggs on one day and choose not toa the next, that doesn't mean you are breaking any rules. It merely means you are changing your mind.
Number of Servings: 6
Preparation time: under 30 minutes
This recipe for this Brazilian Black Bean Stew is a quick and easy vegetarian dish that is a favorite in the country of Brazil. The ingredients are not only nourishing and palatable, but they are also esthetically pleasing when presented on the plate. For those who are throwing a dinner party and would like to present a colorful dish, this Brazilian Black Bean Stew recipe will not disappoint.
1. You'll need a large stock pot to heat the oil over medium heat. Toss in the onion, and cook until softened (approximately 5 minutes). Make sure you are stirring them frequently. Add the garlic, and continue cooking the mixture until the onion is golden (approximately 3 minutes).
2. Stir the bell pepper, chili, sweet potatoes, canned tomatoes (and its liquid), and water. Bring the Brazilian black bean stew mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for between 10 and 15 minutes.
3. While the stew simmers, steam some Swiss shard and warm up some tortillas to serve with the meal.
4. Add the black beans, and continue simmering uncovered for approximately 5 minutes. This should heat the Brazilian black bean stew all the way through.
5. Stir the mango into the stew and cook for another minute until heated through.
There is a slight nutritional difference between canned black beans and fresh. However, both are simple to find and easy to use in this recipe.

moreThese exhilarating letters—selected and introduced by Thomas Kunkel, who wrote Genius in Disguise, the distinguished Ross biography—tell the dramatic story of the birth of The New Yorker and its precarious early days and years. Ross worries about everything from keeping track of office typewriters to the magazine's role in wartime to the exact questions to be asked for a "Talk of the Town" piece on the song "Happy Birthday." We find Ross, in Kunkel's words, "scolding Henry Luce, lecturing Orson Welles, baiting J. Edgar Hoover, inviting Noel Coward and Ginger Rogers to the circus, wheedling Ernest Hemingway— offering to sell Harpo Marx a used car and James Cagney a used tractor, and explaining to restaurateur-to-the-stars Dave Chasen, step by step, how to smoke a turkey." These letters from a supreme editor tell in his own words the story of the fierce, lively man who launched the world's most prestigious magazine.

moreResearching a biography is often compared to detective work, and certainly much sleuthing must transpire before the first word ever slips from the writer's fingertips. Even so, I find this analogy altogether too grim, not only for its criminal overtones but for its suggestion of a kind of purposeful slogging on the part of the pursuer. For most biographers there is more sheer joy in the exercise than that; it is less a life-or-death pursuit than an open-ended game of hide-and-seek. Some writers find their quarry, others never do. The serendipity is part of the fun.
As for me, I found Harold Wallace Ross in Room 328 of the New York Public Library. True, he had been dead for more than forty years. But Ross, founding editor and guiding spirit of The New Yorker magazine, is loudly, reprovingly alive in the tens of thousands of letters packed away in a hundred or more archival containers. Before I ever got into the magazine's archives, now kept at the library, I had formed a strong impression of Ross, one gleaned from dozens of interviews with those who knew him, from the memoirs of others, and from the sundry correspondence of his that I had unearthed in other collections. But nothing prepared me for the sheer personality that bounded from these musty gray boxes like a freed genie. In less than an hour's eavesdropping I encountered my man scolding Henry Luce, lecturing Orson Welles, baiting J. Edgar Hoover, inviting Noel Coward and Ginger Rogers to the circus, wheedling Ernest Hemingway ("Are you ever going to write any short stories again? My God"), offering to sell Harpo Marx a used car and James Cagney a used tractor, and explaining to restaurateur-to-the-stars Dave Chasen, step by step, how to smoke a turkey.
There's so much of that kind of thing in the files that one could get the impression Ross had little time to run his magazine. But of course Ross ran The New Yorker utterly, relentlessly, and largely in the same way he juggled his demanding social life—with a copious stream of letters, memoranda, telegrams, even scrawled notes to his staff and contributors. The editor's dispatches spill over with ideas, explanations, tips, gossip, suggestions, and occasionally apologies. He was not above haranguing or begging for material; "God damn it, write something!" was a familiar Rossian benediction. At other times he offered advice. "Don't waste your time and words on letters," he once said to St. Clair McKelway. "You don't get paid for them." He imparted this, naturally, in a letter.
The letters reprinted here, then, represent but a sampler of the available material, and they are intended in that vein. Which is to say they convey an honest sense of the man, his droll outlook, the way he lived an eventful but messy life, and, most important, the way he directed the magazine that remains his legacy. Ross, as the reader will see, was propelled by boundless energy and interests. He seemed to know everyone of his day worth knowing, and led an existence far larger than seems possible today.
Letter writing was at the core of that existence, as much a part of Ross as his unruly hair or the double-wide gap in his front teeth. A turn-of-the-century child of the frontier, son of an immigrant miner and a prim prairie schoolmarm, Ross was always something of a nineteenth-century figure even as he guided the twentieth century's most literate magazine. Corresponding, like smoking and swearing, was a habit Ross acquired early and never relinquished.
He was born in 1892 in Aspen, Colorado, when the place was a shabby silver-mining outpost. After silver crashed, the Rosses moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. From boyhood Harold exhibited an organic restlessness, both intellectual and physical. He devoured the stories of Jack London and the romantic exploits of war correspondents such as Richard Harding Davis, and perhaps thus inspired, he regularly ran away from home. After his sophomore year Ross quit high school to go to work for the Salt Lake Telegram. Then in his late teens he hit the rails as a "tramp" reporter, traveling the West working at one newspaper after another, as needed. From the San Francisco Bay area he drifted to Panama, where he worked for a time on the canal. He came back to the States by way of New Orleans and bounded into Atlanta just in time to cover the murder trial of Leo Frank. (Ross doubted Frank's guilt and wrote that his prosecution had been an affront.) He was back working in San Francisco when the United States entered the World War, and he enlisted on the spot.
In France Ross joined the staff of the army newspaper, The Stars and Stripes. Finally, and legitimately, he was a war correspondent, but the truth is Ross actually distinguished himself far more when he was invited to edit the weekly. For the first time in his life he realized he had a knack for managing difficult but talented people. The wartime experience likewise shaped his personal life. He grew close to staff writer Alexander Woollcott, who before the war was the drama critic for The New York Times, and Woollcott in turn introduced Ross to a bright and intense young woman named Jane Grant, whom Ross would marry.
This was in New York after the war, where Ross was editing veterans' magazines and had, rather by accident, helped Woollcott establish a standing luncheon that became the Algonquin Round Table. This inventive collection of friends from the media and entertainment worlds, all in their twenties and early thirties, came to symbolize for many the new youthful exuberance of postwar Manhattan. Ross and Jane enjoyed being in the middle of it.

A new report suggests that many -- if not most -- sunscreens do not do an adequate job of protecting users from the sun's harmful rays.
But medical experts are quick to caution that consumers would not be wise to eliminate the use of sunscreen from their summertime ritual, because that could expose them to an increased risk of skin cancer.
In its new report, the nonprofit Environmental Working Group says that 85 percent of sunscreens either inadequately protect from the sun's rays or contain ingredients that may be unsafe.
They say that the problem is worsened by the fact that the Food and Drug Administration has not passed standards for testing and labeling sunscreens -- meaning that makers often have carte blanche when it comes to making claims about their products.
"There are all these things on the label that don't indicate quality, protection and safety," says Sonya Lunder, senior analyst at EWG and manager of the project.
However, the group does recommend 142 sunscreen products for use by customers. While a similar report last year listed several recommended brands that were expensive and only available online, this year's report includes a list of the top 10 recommended brands that are widely available, including picks from CVS and Walgreens.
"Now you can walk down to the drugstore and pick one up," Lunder says.
The caveat is that only one of the 144 products sold by the top three sunscreen makers -- Coppertone, Neutrogena and Banana Boat -- made the list of recommended products.
Schering-Plough Corporation, which manufactures Coppertone products, rejects the report, saying that the company rigorously tests its sunscreen products for safety and effectiveness.
"Coppertone is committed to the science and safety of suncare and is concerned about the impact that reports like the one released by the Environmental Working Group will have on individuals who wish to protect themselves from the sun," said Schering-Plough spokesperson Julie Lux in a statement.
Researchers looked at the ingredients of 950 name-brand sunscreens for the report. They based their analysis on nearly 400 published studies and nearly 60 national databases containing information about possibly toxic chemicals.
With this information, they rated each sunscreen's overall effectiveness, based on three factors: ultraviolet-B (UVB) protection, indicated by the SPF rating; ultraviolet-A (UVA) protection against the other type of skin cancer-causing rays; and stability of the ingredients, or how long they remain active on the skin.
Dr. Seth Orlow, chairman of the dermatology department at New York University Medical Center, says the general public can make beneficial choices based on these findings.
"It would certainly seem that if someone picked one of the ones that was highly ranked, they would be getting good sun protection," he says. He adds that the worst that could happen is that the ratings could be conservative and cause consumers to be overly cautious.
Doctors say the report should not, however, lead consumers to believe that forgoing sunscreen might be better then wearing a sunscreen that could cause side effects, including allergic reactions.

Minn. Lawmakers: Special Session May Not be Needed
Posted at: 08/16/2013 9:39 PM
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders have agreed on a possible special session to be held on Sept. 9, but also say it may not be necessary.
Dayton and the Legislature's top four leaders met for about an hour Friday afternoon. They discussed a one-day special session to pass state disaster aid for areas hit hard by June storms.
But the lawmakers said after the meeting they might not need a special session. They're researching whether leftover funds from previous disasters could be reallocated in order to save the expense of calling the entire Legislature into session.
Dayton and lawmakers have discussed also repealing a recently enacted sales tax on farm equipment. But the legislative leaders say there was no agreement on that. They plan to meet again next week.

When to Use PPE?
Written by Steve Hudgik
OSHA requires the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) to reduce employee exposure to hazards when no other options will work. Before the decision to use PPE is made, all possible engineering and administrative controls should be used to eliminate or reduce the hazard levels. Personal protective equipment is the last line of defense, and is used only after other options have been exhausted.
Employers are required to determine when the situation requires that personal protective equipment be used.
If PPE is to be used, a PPE program should be implemented. This program should address:
- the hazards present
- the selection, maintenance, and use of PPE
- the training of employees
- monitoring of the program to ensure its ongoing effectiveness
The use of personal protective equipment is addressed in specific OSHA standards for the general industry, shipyard employment, marine terminals, and longshoring.
Employers Are Required To Determine When to Use Personal Protective Equipment
While it is ultimately the employer's responsibility to ensure the workplace is safe, both employees and employers have responsibilities.
In general, concerning the use of personal protective equipment, employers are responsible for:
- Performing a "hazard assessment" of the workplace to identify safety and health hazards.
- Identifying situations where engineering and administrative controls are not sufficient to eliminate or protect people from hazards.
- Identifying and providing appropriate PPE for employees.
- Training employees in the use and care of the PPE.
- Maintaining PPE, including replacing worn or damaged PPE.
- Periodically reviewing, updating and evaluating the effectiveness of the PPE program.
Related to personal protective equipment, employees must:
- Properly wear the PPE provided by their employer.
- Attend training sessions on PPE,
- Care for, clean and maintain the PPE they use.
- Inform a supervisor when there is the need to repair or replace PPE.
Various OSHA standards have requirements for PPE. Some OSHA standards require that employers provide PPE at no cost to the employee while other standards simply state that the employer must provide PPE.
Knowing When to Use Personal Protective Equipment - The Hazard Assessment
The first step in knowing when and where PPE will be required is also the first step in developing a workplace safety and health program. It is to identify the physical and health hazards. This is known as a "hazard assessment." Potential hazards may be physical or health-related. A properly conducted hazard assessment will identify hazards in both categories. Examples of physical hazards include moving objects, rolling or pinching objects, fluctuating temperatures, electrical connections, high intensity lighting and sharp edges. Examples of health hazards include overexposure to harmful dusts, fumes, chemicals or radiation.
The workplace hazard assessment should begin reviewing a history of injuries and illnesses in the workplace. Use this to identify existing problem areas.
Next do a walk-through of the facility. Note the basic layout of the facility, how traffic flows, and develop a list of potential hazards in the following basic categories:
- Impact
- Penetration
- Compression (roll-over)
- Heat/cold
- Harmful dust or fumes
- Chemical
- Electrical (shock, arc flash, etc.)
- Light (optical) radiation
- Biological (disease, vermin, mold, etc.)
During the walk-through look for the following and inspect them for a potential to cause harm:
- Sources of electricity.
- Sources of motion such as machines or processes where movement may exist that could result in an impact between personnel and equipment.
- Sources of high temperatures that could result in burns, eye injuries or fire.
- Types of chemicals used in the workplace.
- Sources of harmful dusts and fumes.
- Sources of light radiation, such as welding, brazing, cutting, furnaces, heat treating, high intensity lights, etc.
- The potential for falling or dropping objects.
- Sharp objects that could poke, cut, stab or puncture.
- Biologic hazards such as blood or other potentially infected material.
Next organize and analyze the data that has been collected. Use it to apply engineering and administrative controls to as many hazards as possible. For the remaining hazards determine the proper types of personal protective equipment that will be required. It is a good idea to select PPE that will provide a level of protection greater than the minimum required to protect employees from hazards. However, the trade-off is that the greater the protection the more difficult it is to wear the PPE. So don't do too far or you'll find your employees avoiding the PPE instead of avoiding the hazard.
Periodically reassess the workplace to identify changes in conditions, equipment or operating procedures that could affect occupational hazards. As a part of the reassessment do a review of injury and illness records to spot any trends or areas of concern and taking appropriate corrective action. In addition, review the suitability of existing PPE, including an evaluation of its condition and age.
Knowing When to Use Personal Protective Equipment - Selecting PPE
All PPE must be of safe design and construction, appropriate for the hazard, and must be maintained in a clean and reliable fashion.
PPE fit and comfort must be taken into consideration when selecting PPE. Having a proper and comfortable fits results in the PPE being used. Most personal protective equipment is available in multiple sizes. In addition, if several different types of PPE are worn together, make sure they are compatible. If PPE does not fit properly, it can make the difference between being safely covered or dangerously exposed. PPE that does not fit properly may not provide the level of protection desired.
OSHA requires that some categories of PPE meet or be equivalent to standards developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in effect at the time of its manufacture. OSHA requires PPE to meet the following ANSI standards:
- Eye and Face Protection: ANSI Z87.1-1989
- Head Protection: ANSI Z89.1-1986
- Foot Protection: ANSI Z41.1-1991
There is no ANSI standard for hand protection, but OSHA recommends that the performance and construction characteristics of the glove material be based on the tasks to be performed. For protection against chemicals, glove selection must be based on:
- the chemicals encountered
- the chemical resistance
- the physical properties of the glove material
Knowing When to Use Personal Protective Equipment - Using Labels and Signs
Labels and signs play an important role in helping employees know when personal protective equipment is needed. In addition to warning about hazards, they inform people that PPE is required and what type of PPE must be used. Some labels, such as arc flash labels, may do this by showing the hazard category on the label. In other cases signs may specifically list the required PPE.
With a custom label and sign printer, such as the DuraLabel PRO 300, you can make safety signs that provide specific information about needed PPE. Both the size and content of the label or sign can be customized while still remaining fully compliant with ANSI code requirements.

CBS Cheers Governator's Plan to Terminate Global Warming
CBS celebrated California Gov. Arnold SchwarzeneggerŌĆÖs plan to force 25 percent cuts in ŌĆ£greenhouse gasŌĆØ emissions by the year 2020, painting the regulations as a sensible way to grow the economy and protect the environment. But reporter John Blackstone dismissed or ignored objections to the plan, including the charge that it does nothing to actually reduce greenhouse emissions.
ŌĆ£Going its own way on global warming, AmericaŌĆÖs most populated state intends to roll back its greenhouse gas emissions to the level they were in 1990,ŌĆØ correspondent John Blackstone began his August 31 ŌĆ£Evening NewsŌĆØ story, painting the Golden State chief executive as a hero who stands up to Washington, in favor of big government.
ŌĆ£CaliforniaŌĆÖs Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gave up waiting for the federal government to act,ŌĆØ he added before showing the former movie star telling rally attendees that his plan would ŌĆ£simultaneously protect the environmentŌĆØ while business would ŌĆ£boom.ŌĆØ
To bolster SchwarzeneggerŌĆÖs point, Blackstone dismissed criticism from the oil refining industry that it would ŌĆ£drive business and jobs out of the stateŌĆØ by pointing to ŌĆ£unlikely supportersŌĆØ of the governorŌĆÖs plan like Peter Darbee of Pacific Gas & Electric.
Darbee likes the plan, said Blackstone, because ŌĆ£companies will be able to buy and sell the right to pollute. Those that reduce emissions more than required can sell whatŌĆÖs called a credit to companies that havenŌĆÖt reduced emissions enough.ŌĆØ
In other words, ŌĆ£let the market handle it,ŌĆØ Blackstone asked Darbee. ŌĆ£Exactly right,ŌĆØ Darbee answered.
But the so-called market-based solution is just more regulation on private industry that will not actually reduce emissions into the atmosphere, the Competitive Enterprise InstituteŌĆÖs Myron Ebell points out.
ŌĆ£The utilities signed on to it because they have a way out and in fact they may benefit because they produce everything out-of-state,ŌĆØ Ebell, the director of energy policy for the Washington, D.C.-based think tank, told the Business & Media Institute.
As such, Ebell told BMI, buying energy produced out-of-state would only curb emissions created in-state, but those ŌĆ£greenhouse gasesŌĆØ would just be produced outside California as the state shifted away from energy production while growing its energy consumption.
ŌĆ£[I]t seems that the loophole is that the utilities can get all their additional power from out of state,ŌĆØ Ebell noted, adding that ŌĆ£ if thatŌĆÖs the case, the utilities have a huge source of credits that they can sell, and they can just buy all their power from out of state.ŌĆØ
In other words, DarbeeŌĆÖs company has a lot to benefit from the newly signed legislation. Conversely, oil refineries, which generate emissions in-state, would likely need to buy credits to conform to new regulations.
Concluded Ebell, ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a nutty thing that theyŌĆÖve done, and itŌĆÖs going to have a lot of costsŌĆØ passed on to the consumer.
Aside from skipping any detractors of the regulatory scheme, Blackstone left out any global warming critics, perhaps because CBS has all but officially declared global warming an undisputed fact.
As the Business & Media Institute reported last month, during an extended national heat wave, BlackstoneŌĆÖs colleague Bob Orr excluded any opposing view on his July 31 ŌĆ£Evening NewsŌĆØ story on climate change.
ŌĆ£[Pew Center on Global Climate ChangeŌĆÖs Jay] Gulledge says thereŌĆÖs no longer any serious debateŌĆØ over global warming, Orr insisted then. Yet BMI pointed to two climatologists who disagree, including University of Alabama climatologist John Christy.
ŌĆ£Weather extremes occur somewhere all the time,ŌĆØ Christy noted, including ŌĆ£the coldest November and December in 106 yearsŌĆØ at the end of 2000, an event that ŌĆ£does not prove U.S. or global cooling.ŌĆØ
CBS also failed to note that the huge cuts planned by California still fall short of the left-wing goal of meeting the Kyoto treaty guidelines. That pact would mandate cuts 7 percent below 1990 levels.

Woman Arrested for Firing at Deputy
NEW PORTLAND, Maine (AP) – Authorities have arrested a woman they say fired a gun at a Somerset County sheriff's deputy from the doorway of a New Portland home.
The deputy was not injured.
Police tell the Morning Sentinel it started at about 11 p.m. Tuesday when 34-year-old Bonnie Jean Tanguay called 911, but seemed "extremely vague" about the reason for the call.
When Deputy David Cole arrived, the home was dark, so he approached the door. That's when Tanguay allegedly opened fire before retreating back inside.
Cole took cover, and when Tanguay came to the door again, Cole got close enough to tackle her. She was arrested Wednesday morning and charged with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon. She remains jailed.

Facts About Water Only 1% of the Earth's water is suitable for human uses and consumption 97% of the world's water is salty or otherwise undrinkable and 2% is locked in ice caps and glaciers If the world's water fitted into a bucket, only one teaspoonful would be drinkable Worldwide, nearly 1.1 billion people (roughly 1 in six people) lack access to safe drinking water The lack of clean, safe drinking water is estimated to kill almost 5,000 children per day Out of the 2.2 million unsafe drinking water deaths in 2004, 90% were children under the age of five Women and children suffer disproportionately from the lack of clean water as they are responsible for gathering water. Many must walk an estimated six miles every day to get enough water for their families Water-related diseases are the second biggest killer of children worldwide, after acute respiratory infections
