Burpee Zinnia, Burpeeana Giants Mix
First offered in 1961, heirloom mix's brightly-colored quilled and ruffled petals create huge blooms. The 2' plants are soon massed with 6" blooms in a wide range of bold colors. Impressive in beds and the border, cut flowers are stunning in fresh bouquets and arrangements. Grow in full sun.
Zinnia may be grown from seed sown early indoors and transplanted outside after frost, or sown directly in the garden after frost, or from potted plants.
Sowing Seed Indoors:
- Sow indoors 5-7 weeks before outdoor planting date in spring using a seed starting kit
- Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed starting formula
- Keep the soil moist at 70-75 degrees F
- Seedlings emerge in 7-10 days
- As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights turned on 16 hours per day, off for 8 hours at night. Raise the lights as the plants grow taller. Incandescent bulbs will not work for this process because they will get too hot. Most plants require a dark period to grow, do not leave lights on for 24 hours.
- Thin to one seedling per cell when they have two sets of leaves.
- Seedlings do not need much fertilizer, feed when they are 3-4 weeks old using a starter solution (half strength of a complete indoor houseplant food) according to manufacturer's directions.
- Transplant hardened-off seedlings to the garden after the frost.
- Before planting in the garden, seedling plants need to be "hardened off". Accustom young plants to outdoor conditions by moving them to a sheltered place outside for a week. Be sure to protect them from wind and hot sun at first. If frost threatens at night, cover or bring containers indoors, then take them out again in the morning. This hardening off process toughens the plant's cell structure and reduces transplant shock and scalding.
Sowing Directly in the Garden:
- Direct sow seeds in average soil in full sun after all danger of frost.
- Prepare the soil by removing weeds and working organic matter into the top 6-8 inches of soil; then level and smooth.
- Most plants respond well to soils amended with organic matter. Compost is a wonderful form of organic matter with a good balance of nutrients and an ideal pH level, it can be added to your planting area at any time. If compost is not available, top dress the soil after planting with 1-2 inches of organic mulch, which will begin to breakdown into compost. After the growing season, a soil test will indicate what soil amendments are needed for the following season.
- Sow seeds evenly 12 inches apart and cover with ¼ inch of fine soil.
- Firm soil lightly with your hand, water and keep evenly moist.
- Seedlings will emerge in 7-10 days.
- Thin seedlings to stand 8-24 inches apart, depending on the variety, when they are about 1-2 inches tall.
Planting in the Garden:
- Select a location in full sun with good rich moist organic soil.
- Prepare the bed by turning the soil under to a depth of 8 inches. Level with a rake to remove clumps of grass and stones.
- Most plants respond well to soils amended with organic matter. Compost is a wonderful form of organic matter with a good balance of nutrients and an ideal pH level, it can be added to your planting area at any time. If compost is not available, top dress the soil after planting with 1-2 inches of organic mulch, which will begin to breakdown into compost. After the growing season, a soil test will indicate what soil amendments are needed for the following season.
- Dig a hole for each plant large enough to amply accommodate the root ball.
- Place the top of the root ball even with the level of the surrounding soil. Fill with soil to the top of the root ball. Press soil down firmly with your hand leaving a slight depression around the plant to hold water.
- Water thoroughly, so that a puddle forms in the saucer you have created. This settles the plants in, drives out air pockets and results in good root-to-soil contact.
- Use the plant tag as a location marker.
- Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.
- Mulches also help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures. For annuals an organic mulch of shredded leaves lends a natural look to the bed and will improve the soil as it breaks down in time. Always keep mulches off a plant's stems to prevent possible rot.
- Keep plants well-watered during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Plants need about 1 inch of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It's best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.
- Until plants become established, some protection from extreme winds and direct, hot sunlight may be necessary. Good air movement is also important.
- After new growth appears, a light fertilizer may be applied. Keep granular fertilizers away from the plant crown and foliage to avoid burn injury. Use low rates of a slow release fertilizer, as higher rates may encourage root rots.
- Pinch young plants to encourage branching unless you are growing them exclusively for cut flowers and want long stems.
- Remove spent flower heads to keep plants flowering until fall. Zinnias make terrific cut flowers, and cutting the flowers encourages new blooms.
- Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.
- Remove plants after they are killed by frost in fall to avoid disease issues the following year.
- Plant zinnias in mixed plantings with other summer-blooming annuals, or place small groups of zinnias among perennials. They are at home in cottage and children's gardens, and they are often grown in cutting gardens.
- Shorter zinnia varieties are ideal for containers. Take care not to overcrowd them or the flowers may be significantly smaller than they should be and the plants may be taller. Always use a commercial potting mix, do not use garden soil, and make sure the containers have adequate drainage. Container grown plants will require extra water and fertilizer, look for signs of wilt or a nutrient deficiency.
- Cut stems before the flower is open for cut flowers.
- Zinnias attract hummingbirds, butterflies and beneficial insects.

Valaam Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Savior, more popularly Valaam Monastery is a monastery of the Church of Russia located in Karelia in northwestern Russia on the island of Valaam in Lake Ladoga. The monastery was an outpost of evangelism in the north of Russia. In the 1790s the monastery provided the group of eight missionaries that was sent to Alaska in the North American northwest to evangelize the natives for Orthodox Christianity. This group of monastics included St Herman and St Juvenaly.
The origins of Valaam Monastery are not clear. Situated in the frontier of civilization the monastery was often attacked and burned as the area was contested by both Russians and Swedes. As the monastery is not mentioned in documents before the 16th century, different dates - from the 10th to 15th centuries - have been proposed for its founding. In Church tradition the founding of the Holy Transfiguration Valaam Monastery has been attributed to Ss. Sergius and Herman who were among the first missionaries to the city of Novgorod in the tenth century and created a monastery on Valaam Island in Lake Ladoga, north of Novgorod.
In the sixteenth century, Karelia became the battleground between Swedish and Russian forces as the Swedes pushed their borders eastward. Situated in Lake Ladoga, Valaam Monastery was in the midst of these struggles. In 1578, monks and novices were beaten to death by the (then) Lutheran Swedes. After another attack, the monastery was depopulated between 1611 and 1715. The buildings were burnt to the ground, and the Karelian border between Russia and Sweden was drawn through the lake. As the eighteenth century continued, the monastery recovered. Buildings were restored and built as the monastery prospered. By the beginning of the twentieth century the monastery had become very wealthy with about twenty smaller sketes under its control.
In 1793, the abbot of Valaam Monastery, Nazarius, was tasked by Catherine II with recruiting missionaries for the Russian colony in Alaska. A group of eight monks was assembled and departed Valaam on December 25, 1793 for Alaska. After a long journey through the length of Siberia the group arrived in Kodiak, Alaska on September 24, 1794.
In 1809, Sweden ceded Finland to Russia, which became an autonomous Grand Duchy. As the monastery was located in the Grand Duchy of Finland, when Finland gained its independence in 1917 Valaam became part of the Church of Finland. The Finnish Church became autonomous under the Church of Constantinople. During the Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union in 1940, the monks from the monastery were evacuated to Heinavesi, Finland. With the end of the war the border was moved westward so that all of Lake Ladoga was within the Soviet Union. Having lost their former home, the monks who had moved to Finland formed the New Valaam Monastery at Heinavesi. It is the only monastery in the Finnish Church.
With the loss of its monastic community and the inclusion of Lake Ladoga in the Soviet Union the buildings of the original monastery on Valaam Island remained unused as a secular population moved on to the island. In time the island became a Soviet military base. As restrictions on the Orthodox Church in the Soviet Union eased during the 1980s, the original monastery was reactivated in 1989 and the facilities restored over the years.
In the late 1990s, Valaam Monastery gained significant legal power over the island under the Patriarch Alexei II. In an effort to return to a state of spiritual seclusion and enticed by the prospect of monopolizing the vast tourism industry on the island, the monastery forced many longtime residents to move out to the mainland. After years of fruitless legal proceedings, many residents of the island chose to leave rather than continue the fight, though a few still remain.
2016 Fire
On May 1, 2016, the day of Pascha, a massive fire broke out in the historic "Winter Hotel" next to the main chapel. Although there are no casualties reported, between 50 and 70 people reportedly had to be evacuated, and an emergency fire-fighting helicopter needed to be deployed from St. Petersburg to fight the blaze. The hotel building dated back to the 1850s and was considered a national heritage site.
This was the same date on which St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in New York City, USA burned as well as two more Orthodox Churches in Australia.

See Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria for important information about the usage of these informative techniques and how they relate to the normative WCAG 2.0 success criteria. The Applicability section explains the scope of the technique, and the presence of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0.
Any technology
This technique relates to:
The objective of this technique is to provide a checkbox that users must select to indicate they have reviewed their input and are ready for it to be committed. This is important when the nature of the transaction is such that it may not be reversible if input errors are subsequently discovered or when the result of an action is that data is deleted. The author provides a checkbox that is not selected when the page loads, with a label like "I confirm that the input is correct and am ready to submit" or "I confirm that I wish to delete this data". The checkbox should be located near the submit button to help the user notice it during the submission process. If the checkbox is not selected when the form is submitted, the input is rejected and the user is prompted to review their entry, select the checkbox, and resubmit. Only if the checkbox is selected will the input be accepted and the transaction processed.
This checkbox helps to guard against the consequences of an accidental form submission, and also serves to prompt the user to be sure they have entered accurate data. This is more secure than simply putting a label on the submit button like "input is correct, submit". Providing the checkbox as a separate control from the submit button forces the user to "double-check", as they must both select the checkbox and activate the submit button for the transaction to proceed. As such, this is a mechanism for reviewing, confirming, and correcting information before finalizing the submission.
Note: When users submit information without selecting the checkbox, they should not lose the information that they have entered when they return to the form to resubmit.
An online bank service allows users to transfer money between accounts in different currencies. Because exchange rates are constantly in flux, the money cannot be re-exchanged at the same rate if the user discovers an error in their input after the transaction has been carried out. In addition to the "account from", "account to", and "amount" fields, there is a checkbox with a label "I have checked that the amount I wish to transfer is correct". If this checkbox is not selected when the user submits the form, the transaction is not carried out and the user is notified. If the checkbox is selected, the (irreversible) transaction is carried out.
An online payment system stores user bank account information in order to process payments. There is an elaborate procedure for users to enter new accounts and verify that they are the owner. There is the facility to delete old accounts, but if an account is accidentally deleted, it would be difficult to reinstate it, and the transaction history with that account would be lost. Therefore, on pages that allow users to delete accounts, there is a checkbox with the label "I confirm that I wish to delete this account." If this checkbox is not selected when the user submits the form, the account is not deleted and the user is given an error message. Only if the checkbox is selected is the account deleted.
A checkout form on a shopping site includes a form that collects order, shipping and billing information. After submitting the form, the user is taken to a page where the information they have submitted is summarized for review. Below the summary, a checkbox with the label "I have reviewed and confirmed that this data is correct" is shown. The user must mark the checkbox and activate a "complete order" button in order to complete the transaction.
For user input pages that cause irreversible transactions to occur:
Check that a checkbox indicating user confirmation of the input or action is provided in addition to the submit button.
Check that if the checkbox is not selected when the form is submitted, the input is rejected and the user is prompted to review their entry, select the checkbox, and resubmit.
Checks #1 and #2 are true
If this is a sufficient technique for a success criterion, failing this test procedure does not necessarily mean that the success criterion has not been satisfied in some other way, only that this technique has not been successfully implemented and can not be used to claim conformance.

Heras site fencing is used for temporary and permanent perimeter fencing to be used as a security barrier for buildings and worksites. Heras fence panels are designed to provide safety in addition to site security when at an event or construction site.
Heras temporary fencing panels are lightweight panels that are easy to move and assemble but extremely durable when in place. They are made of a metal mesh which is anti-climb to protect your site. There are several different types of anti-climb fencing panels, depending on your needs.
There is also a range of safety options available to ensure that any site hazards are minimised due to the fencing, with pedestrian and vehicle gates available. The Heras range of commercial fencing and tools will fit the needs of any area as the quantity of panels can be adjusted if your site expands or contracts.
This is why Heras is used so often by trade companies in Letchworth, each fence panel is attached individually when you hire from the Heras range. If your site size changes or you have additional tools delivered, you can arrange for the additional quantity of panel to be delivered quickly.
You can hire each panel type by the week, meaning you can increase or decrease the quantity of each panel you are hiring each week to save on additional costs. If you know when beginning the job that you will not need the highest quantity of the panel you hire for the first week you can add additional panels later if needed.
This will keep the cost of commercial jobs more under control and will also allow you to change which panel you hire from the range available as the job progresses. You can also change the access points if needed when a trade delivery is received. If a job site size changes, the number of access gates will most likely also need to change.
Hiring products by the week can make it easier to add additional access gates or change the panel type as your needs change. Please note that all of our trade prices are priced by the week. If you would like to negotiate a trade price for a long-term hire rather than by the week, please note to discuss this to work out the best price for you.
Heras fencing panels are made to HSE (Health and Safety Executive) standards and are deemed to meet the requirements to keep a construction site or event site safe.

Unlike using a temporary fence with rubber feet that can sink into the ground if it becomes wet, temporary Heras fencing includes heavyweight blocks for the fence to be installed into, with the option of additional ballast blocks if needed. The blocks will ensure that your fence remains stable no matter the condition of the ground.
Using Heras fencing hire by the week will ensure that you have the right equipment in place and stored securely to complete the job that you are working on. If the end date of your job or equipment or supply hire changes, you can change the hire period to match the length of the event.

Although HSE guidelines state that a perimeter fence must be 2 metres high to be deemed a secure barrier, this is a height that can be climbed over. This is why Heras temporary fencing hire is the right decision to protect construction sites and the high-quality equipment you have within the construction site, as it is virtually impenetrable.
The design of close mesh used to make the Heras fence panels is the best choice and a health and safety necessity to avoid people climbing over the temporary fence. There are enough site hazards on building sites without the added injuries from people attempting to climb into the construction site.
The design of Heras temporary fence panels ensures that there is not enough space to get a purchase to climb. The anti-climb design is also used on both the pedestrian and vehicle gates to ensure the fence is virtually impenetrable and that there is no security weakness in any part of the temporary fence.

Heras fencing was designed by blacksmith Frans Ruigrok when he created his company Hekwerk Industrie Eindhoven. He created the fencing panels to ensure a uniform and standardised fence panel that could be attached together for temporary or permanent fencing needs.
Ruigrok recognised that uniform fence panels were the ideal solution to provide suitable security and deter an opportunist thief at any location. He chose the name Heras for the fence panels that he created and included the name on a sign on every individual fence panel that was created.
The use of a sign on every fence panel was a great way for additional free advertising for the equipment, as those who pass the location where the fence is being used can see the name and enquire about hire options for themselves.
Heras fencing is galvanised steel fence panels that can be securely fitted together to form a protective but temporary fence around any type of site. Heras fencing is the ideal solution to deter an opportunist thief if you have valuable or hazardous equipment within the perimeter.
Heras fencing is available in two options, either temporary fencing or permanent. Either option will create a fully secure perimeter fence to ensure customers have peace of mind when leaving your equipment.
Heras fencing hire is used for multiple purposes, from building sites to festivals and a number in between. The reason it is so possible is that the fence panels can be attached at any point on the height of the fence, meaning you do not need to have level ground to install the fence equipment.
The supply of Heras fence hire is available nationwide, meaning you can use the same galvanised steel fencing hire at events across the UK. With many suppliers having available next-day delivery, you can arrange the supply of Heras fencing hire at short notice.
Each galvanised steel fence panel is 3450mm wide, regardless of whether you choose to hire anti-climb fence panels, heavy-duty anti-climb fence panels, or heavy-duty round-top anti-climb fence panels.
The uniform width across each type of fence panel available to hire means the number of fence panels needed can be left unchanged if you decide to change the panel type you are planning to use. You can find more details of each type of fence panel on the Heras website to review which would be the best type for the events you will be using it for.
As with the width, all types of galvanised steel fencing mentioned above are 2025mm in height. Each type of fence panel meets the HSE guidelines of being 2 metres in height to ensure that equipment is kept safe when on site.
Heras fencing is seen as one of the most secure fencing options available for hire in the UK. The details of how secure the fencing has been proven to be are widely available for review before you confirm you would like to hire this type of fencing.
Heras fencing is suitable for most commercial job sites, with very little maintenance needed throughout the length of the job. Once installed, the fencing can be left unchanged for the duration.

The wait is over for local barbeque fans. Pork Barrel BBQ will finally open Tuesday at 2300 Mount Vernon Ave.
Inspired by the award-winning barbeque sauce of the same name, Pork Barrel BBQ's restaurant was a touchy subject in 2010, when concerns over its hours of operation and potential smoke emissions enflamed debate among residents.
But the restaurant has since passed all of its inspections and will open the doors to its brand new mixed-use building in Del Ray at 5 p.m. and won't close them until 10 p.m.
Founded by Heath Hall and Brett Thompson, restaurateurs Bill Blackburn and Mike Anderson, who owns Mango Mikes on the West End, also own a piece of Pork Barrel BBQ.

Why PDE reports are essential:
If different pharmaceutical products are manufactured in the same facility, there's always a risk of cross-contamination due to residuals of pharmaceutical ingredients, by-products, or detergents. To reduce the danger for people using your final product, it's essential to know how many residues of a certain substance could technically still be in the used equipment without causing any harm.
The Permitted Daily Exposure (PDE) or Admitted Daily Exposure (ADE) marks the dose of a specific substance that's unlikely to cause an adverse effect if the same person is exposed to this amount – or less – every day, for a lifetime.
Consequently, it is important to know this limit for every substance that could technically be found in your final product, and to make sure it's at most contained in its daily dose. The PDE can then be used to calculate other necessary limit values, and to determine which equipment – or even facility – should be used dedicated to specific products.
The way we work:
Since it is an essential value, the exposure limit is based on calculations determined by the official European Medicine Agency guideline (EMA/CHMP/ CVMP/ SWP/169430/2012). As requested by the guideline, our determination of the PDE involves:
- Hazard identification by reviewing all relevant data, such as medicinal and toxicological data bases and studies
- Identification of 'critical effects', i.e. the most harmful effects a substance can have
- Determination of the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) of the findings that are considered to be critical effects
- Careful use of several adjustment factors to account for various uncertainties, such as non-ideal conditions in the consulted studies.
Quality is crucial – our quality promise:
We provide PDE reports for any active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). A large pool of existing reports is already available to choose from, but we're more than happy to create a new one to add to the list for an additional API, if necessary.
Our focus lies on the quality of every single report. So while not all reports may be available for immediate download, we can make sure you get exactly what you need for the situation at hand, and in the best possible quality.
To ensure this, our quality promise includes
- the active membership of THE FORCE in the EUROTOX Corporate Program
- an experienced, multidisciplinary team, led by EUROTOX-certified Senior Toxicologist Dr. Heidi Becker
- compliance with the official EMA guideline
- PDE reports with a comprehensive structure to make all information easily accessible
- PDE reports based on the toxicological properties and pharmacology of the specific API

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and will help you avoid expensive repairs for your home. The truth of this adage comes to full light when you've decided to put your home on the market. Just imagine a potential buyer walking through your house and try to imagine it through their eyes. Unless your home is brand new, you'll soon realize that you'll be pouring even more money into the property in order to sell. These expenses could range from low-cost quick touch-ups to major structural fixes, which can run into the thousands, especially in older homes. The following are the most expensive repairs homeowners face when selling their homes in Biloxi and how you can avoid them.
Water and foundations simply don't mix well. Problems with a foundation can be one of the most expensive repairs homeowners face when selling their homes in Biloxi. Is there water pooling or around the outer edges of the foundation? Are there any cracks on the floor? Have doors or windows become squeaky or difficult to open from having gone out of square due to the foundation sinking? You can avoid issues like these with your foundation by ensuring that the soil slopes away from the house. You can take steps to avoid allowing the soil to dried out during dry periods without rain, which can cause serious issues as well. You also want to check the foundation during rains to be sure that you have good drainage.
Roof repairs can be an incredibly expensive surprise for homeowners to face when selling their homes in Biloxi. Water damage can escalate quickly, not only by weakening the integrity of your home and leaving stains on the ceiling but in the potential for hazardous mold growth. Mold remediation is a very intricate and expensive process that is best left to professionals. Quick action is called for in order to avoid serious water damage. This is why it's important not only to keep a close eye on the roof for yourself but to have the roof inspected every 3 to 5 years by professionals. You'll want to watch for any worn shingles or weak spots that may appear.
Depending on the material used when your home was built and the manner of installation, plumbing leaks can become highly expensive repairs homeowners face when selling their homes in Biloxi. It's highly recommended to check for Polybutylene piping (PB) which was used from 1978 to 1995, resulting in a class-action suit which ended in 2007. Replacement, which runs in the thousands, is the only resolution. You can avoid most plumbing issues from becoming far more serious by acting quickly. If you notice that your water bill has gone up mysteriously, you'll need to be certain there isn't a leak behind the walls, under the flooring, or even underground. Look around your water tank for signs of a leak at the base.
Heating and Cooling System
Neglect is the key culprit when it comes to the heating and cooling system. Repairs or even replacement can be among the most expensive repairs homeowners face when selling their homes in Biloxi. You'll want to keep up routine maintenance and have your air conditioner checked and cleaned yearly, also helping you avoid damage from condensation leaks.
Paying for repairs before you ever realize a penny of profit from the deal is disappointing if not impossible for some. If you'd like to avoid paying for the most expensive repairs homeowners face when selling their homes in Biloxi you can avoid these and many more unexpected costs by selling directly to Southern Properties United!

Is The Fear Of Flying Holding You Back?
We were honoured to be given the opportunity to work with Whoopi Goldberg as part of our participation in the Virgin Atlantic Airways "Flying Without Fear" program... helping her overcome her intense fear of flying.
The aviophobic actress hasn't flown for a decade, but a commitment in London means she has to step on a plane once again.
Whoopi Goldberg underwent a special course on her talk show The View on Wednesday April 1, courtesy of Virgin Atlantic boss Sir Richard Branson.
Part of the therapy was undergoing our Thought Field Therapy® process and then a ride in a flight simulator to help Whoopi conquer her fears - and Goldberg dreaded the experience.
Before the course, she said, "I am sweating a lot. My mind is doing bad stuff to me. I am not a good flyer. I don't like it. I don't wanna do it."
Our Advanced Practitioner in the UK, Gillian Harvey-Bush, one of the trainers for Virgin Atlantic's Fear of Flying program, and Dr. Roger Callahan worked with Whoopi to cure her fears using TFT.
If you suffer from a fear of flying, or any other phobia, be sure to get your FREE guide!
It worked for Whoopi... let it work for you.

This 1983-1992 Volvo 740/760 4-Door Front Lower Door Skin, Driver Side fits 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 Volvo 740, 760.
Are the lower portion of the doors on your vehicle starting to bubble? If so, the rot is probably worse than you think. By the time you see bubbles, there's usually a lot of rust built up behind it. This area rusts out on most vehicles that are driven a lot. Salt and road debris are constantly thrown at them while driving, compromising the exterior of the door. Water makes its way through your door's weatherstripping and pools in the bottom of the door, causing it to rust from the inside out. Any body panel taking this type of abuse from both sides is eventually going to break down and need to be replaced. The good news is that if you catch it in time, you can replace the lower door skin, or the lower door panel, instead of having to replace the entire door.
All of our door skins and inner door panels are stamped steel. The stamping process starts with a 3D scan of an OEM part which produces an OEM-like fitment. The old panel will need to be cut out so that the new one can be welded in its place.
Each panel has an EDP coating for additional corrosion protection. The e-coating leaves a black finish that can be scuffed and painted over. For best finishing results we recommend scuffing the e-coat, priming, and then top coating with an automotive grade paint.
When replacing a lower door skin, we recommend using a door skin hammer for re-pinching the edge of the panel around the door shell. After installation, we also recommend coating the inside of the door with an innerpanel rustproofing or cavity wax to keep is sealed from future water pooling.
Whether you need to replace the lower skin, the inner lower panel, or both, we have the parts that you're looking for. Replace your rusted door skin by ordering this 1983-1992 Volvo 740/760 4-Door Front Lower Door Skin, Driver Side from Raybuck Auto Body Parts today.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8p4Tw2-6W8&t=4s

Peer Review Report of Monaco Phase 1: Legal and Regulatory Framework The Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes is the multilateral framework within which work in the area of tax transparency and exchange of information is carried out by over 90 jurisdictions which participate in the work of the Global Forum on an equal footing. This report summarises the legal and regulatory framework for transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes in Monaco. |
The Global Forum is charged with in-depth monitoring and peer review of the implementation of the standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes. These standards are primarily reflected in the 2002 OECD Model Agreement on Exchange of Information on Tax Matters and its commentary, and in Article 26 of the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital and its commentary as updated in 2004, which has been incorporated in the UN Model Tax Convention.
The standards provide for international exchange on request of foreseeably relevant information for the administration or enforcement of the domestic tax laws of a requesting party. Fishing expeditions are not authorised but all foreseeably relevant information must be provided, including bank information and information held by fiduciaries, regardless of the existence of a domestic tax interest or the application of a dual criminality standard.
All members of the Global Forum, as well as jurisdictions identified by the Global Forum as relevant to its work, are being reviewed. This process is undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 reviews assess the quality of a jurisdiction's legal and regulatory framework for the exchange of information, while Phase 2 reviews look at the practical implementation of that framework. Some Global Forum members are undergoing combined – Phase 1 plus Phase 2 – reviews. The ultimate goal is to help jurisdictions to effectively implement the international standards of transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes.
All review reports are published once approved by the Global Forum and they thus represent agreed Global Forum reports.

Five Marys FAQs
Why is the name "Five Marys"?
Five Marys Farms was named by Brian, for his Five Marys. His wife, Mary and their four daughters - MaryFrances or "Francie" is 16, MaryMarjorie or "Maisie" is 14, MaryJane or "JJ" is 13 and MaryTeresa or "Tessa" is 11. They are all named Mary after strong and memorable grandmothers and aunts on both sides of the family and each carries the middle name of that grandmother or great aunt.
Five Marys is truly a family operation honoring the roots in California agriculture on both sides of the family, the younger Marys are 7th generation Californians with ancestors dating back to 1851 at the time of the Gold Rush. Brian's father Tom was an active farmer and advocate for California agriculture and the Heffernans are proud to be carrying on a family legacy in the industry - and paving their own way too.
Why does your meat taste so good?
We work hard to raise a quality product from start to finish. That begins with great genetics in our animals for things like rib-eye size and marbling. We make sure to feed our animals a high quality feed for their entire life. We finish our beef with alfalfa and steam-flaked barley for an extended finish time of 180 days on finish feed. We also dry-age the whole carcass 14-28 days which is longer than the industry standard or the more common "wet age" and THIS dry-aging process gives a premium flavor and tenderness in every bite - right down to the ground beef. Extra care, attention and inputs mean better products for our family and our customers! HERE is a blog post with more info about how we raise and why our meat tastes so good!
Where are you located?
We are located in Siskiyou County - at the top of the state of California, almost to the Oregon border, where our Cattlewomen boast "top beef, from the top of our state, to the top of your plate." Brian and Mary are both California natives, the girls are 7th generation to the state! Brian grew up in Imperial County and Tehama County with roots in agriculture and Mary was born and raised in Menlo Park, CA - better known today as "Silicon Valley" where she and Brian met, started their family and worked before deciding to change paths and leave the busy life there for 1800 acres of wide open spaces in Silicon Valley.
Where can I find out more about your story?
We share our daily life on Instagram right here. Mary also wrote an ebook about their decision to move to the ranch, including their story, and how things changed when they did. It's called "They Can Do It. What I Learned About Parenting by Moving to the Country." and you can download it to read on any device HERE.
Are you organic?
We are not 'certified' organic, but we practice all-natural practices in everything we do. We believe when our customers can have full transparency in our operation, can know and trust us as their source for high-quality, all-natural meats - that means more than a certification sticker on a package and avoids the red tape and extra cost to the consumer associated with certification.
What does "organically-minded" mean?
When you are not certified organic, legally you can not use the word organic.
We are 100% mindful to practice and produce all-natural products. We raise what we believe is the best product to feed our own children and share it with our customers.
Are you GMO-free? Are your animals fed corn or soy?
Yes, all of our livestock feed on the ranch is 100% GMO-free. We do not feed any soy to our cattle, hogs or sheep. We do not feed corn to our cattle or sheep, sometimes of the year our hogs might get feed mixed with corn.
Has your meat been treated with antibiotics?
Never. The meat we sell through Five Marys brand is always 100% antibiotic free from day one. We administer therapeutic antibiotics to animals on the ranch if they are needed for life saving situations or illness, but those animals are "red tagged" and pulled from our meat program. We still find other creative outlets for them after the proper and safe withdrawl period like local families or friends who understand the history of the animal. Animals given antibiotics in their lifetime are perfectly safe to eat after the standard withdrawl period - but we choose to have a clear designation for our customers that all meat sold from Five Marys is 100% free of any lifetime antibiotics.
Is your meat hormone free?
Yes, ALWAYS. Our meat is 100% free of any kind of growth hormones or any added hormones.
Is the meat all from animals from your ranch?
We raise the majority of the animals we harvest for our meat program on our ranch. Our neighbor directly connected and next to our ranch helps to raise some of our pork with us year round. A farm about an hour north in Oregon raised lamb with us to fill the gaps since we only have lamb about half the year (our lamb is usually harvested Nov-April and their lamb May-October.) We calve in the fall each year and raise those steers and some heifers for our meat program, and provide the cattle for the second half of the year by buying weaned calves from our brother-in-law on Oregon or our friends in Northern California who both raise very high quality cattle to the same standards we do.
Shipping FAQ's
Where do you ship your meats?
We ship our meats, snack sticks, bones and bone broth to all 50 states Monday-Wednesdays every week of the year! Meats are packed on dry ice pellets (will be sublimated by the time you get your box) in custom made insulated liners.
Do you ship meats to Canada? Will you ever?
We do not ship to Canada. Canadian customs is not reliable to keep perishable orders moving through and boxes often get held up in customs for too long to make it feasible to ship frozen product. We do ship all other products besides meats, bones and bone broth to Canada though!
Do you ship non-meat items internationally?
We are not able to ship our meats to addresses outside of the US. We are able to ship other products like sheep pelts, M5 gear, books, prints, hats, etc. If you want to place an international order please email email@example.com to receive a shipping quote.
Can you ship to Hawaii & Alaska?
We sure can! It's a little more expensive to get it there but we ship overnight to both states.
What is The Return Policy?
We have a strict no returns and no refunds policy since most of our products are perishable and can not easily be shipped back and forth and we can not accept frozen products back for resale. If you need to return a sweatshirt or apparel, we will exchange for a different size if the customer pays shipping to send the original back to us. This does NOT apply for meats - all meats are NO returns or refunds, no exceptions.
What breeds are your animals?
Black Angus Cattle : Black Angus produce a premium quality beef and we are proud of our herd with great genetics for superior marbling, flavor and consistency.
Berkshire Heritage Pigs: Berkshire pigs produce one of the best meat qualities - an optimal fat and marbling and are a great heritage breed. Some pigs are bred to be extra lean now - and others can be too fatty. Berkshires are a great in between with what our customers frequently tell us is the best pork they've ever tasted!
Navajo Churro Lambs: The "Chef's Choice" for a wonderful flavor and consistency every time, Navajo Churro's are a hearty breed that love our mountain climate. We have a blog post about our sheep HERE
What do you feed your pigs? Do you feed the pigs scraps?
We feed our pigs a carefully mixed ration of protein and minerals according to their age or stage of life. Our gestating mothers get one ration, nursing mothers get another, weaned piglets another and grower pigs their own. We avoid scraps for our pigs since it's hard to control what might be in the scraps or how that food was raised.
Is your beef grass-fed?
Our cattle live on pastures or hill country at Five Marys year round and eat our local and ranch raised pasture grasses and alfalfa. We finish our cattle on a thoughtfully balanced ration of alfalfa, grain hay and steam-flaked barley for the best possible quality in marbling and taste. We believe grass-fed and grass-and-barley finish, with an extended finishing time of at least 180 days is the optimal way to raise our beef for consistent, excellent quality and flavor with all the benefits of a grass-fed lifestyle. We never feed corn, GMOs and all of our meat is 100% free from antibiotics, growth-hormones and ionophores.
Are your lambs grass-fed?
Yes, our Navajo Churro lambs and sheep eat only our pasture grasses and alfalfa.
Do you sell chicken or eggs? Turkeys?
No - we don't raise poultry and will not in the future. If you are looking for quality raised chicken or turkey to ship to your doorstep like Five Marys, we recommend:
See our M5 DIRECTORY for other farms raising chicken!HARVESTING FAQ'S
Do you harvest humanely?
Yes. We are invested in making sure every stage of the process of raising and harvesting our animals is done thoughtfully and with the utmost care and attention to the well being of the animal. Our harvesting or slaughtering process is done under USDA inspection and we work hard to make sure the animals experience the least amount of stress and are slaughtered in the most humane way. This is obviously important because it's the right thing to do, but it can also affect the quality of the meat (stress before harvest is not good for quality) so it's important to everyone involved that animals are harvested humanely every single time.
How are animals are handled during processing?
At Five Marys, we are focused on raising our animals as humanely and ethically as possible their entire lives, this starts at birth and continues every day they graze the grasses and soak up the mountain air and sunshine on the ranch in Siskiyou County. We take the same concern for the harvesting process. We work hard to make sure animals experience the least amount of stress possible and are harvested thoughtfully and humanely, all under USDA supervision and care.
What does dry-aging do?
Beef that is dry-aged has an exceptional flavor and tenderness. It requires extra time, commitment and cost - but it is worth it in the end result of a perfect steak or incredibly delicious ground beef. Pork or lamb can be eaten soon after slaughter, but that is not the case with beef. Beef benefits from aging to promote tenderness and enhance flavor. Soon after slaughter, most beef sold in the US is split into large pieces called primals, vacuum sealed, and boxed up for transport, where it "wet-ages" during transit to grocery stores, meat distributors, and similar locations. When it arrives it is ultimately cut into steaks, roasts, and other familiar cuts for the consumer. Ground beef is often packaged and shipped without the benefit of any aging at all. In contrast, dry-aging beef involves hanging it in just above freezing temperatures in a humidity controlled room with ample air flow, for at least 14 days - we prefer 21-28 days for optimal tenderness and to impart a unique taste and delicate consistency to the meat.
Dry-aging is a craft tradition that used to be the norm, but it is slowly being replaced in favor of expediency and efficiency. However, Brian and I firmly believe that dry-aging creates the best possible beef. We don't cut any steaks or grind any beef until the entire carcass is well aged, usually for 14 to 28 days after harvest. Purely grass-fed meat doesn't always benefit from dry aging as it is often too lean without much marbling, but because we finish our cattle on barley which gives a great marbling, dry-aging is an optimal way to create a premium product for our customer.
How do you choose which animals go to harvest for meat? Are they all born on the ranch?
Our breeding mothers never go into our meat program. They stay breeders on the ranch as long as they are able and sometimes longer. Our breeding males (bulls, boards and rams) are also not put into our meat program. Older animals who have bred or birthed young are not as desirable as meat animals for most cuts. The animals born on our ranch every year are our market animals that we harvest for meats. We keep about 20% of these animals most years as breeders to replace older breeders who age out of reproducing. We buy new males for breeding from high quality genetic stock every few years to avoid line breeding and to ensure genetic diversity.
Are all your animals born on the ranch?
We raise most of our animals from start to finish, but sometimes will add animals from other trusted ranches (like our brother-in-law's all-natural, Oregon ranching operation - or our neighbors next to the ranch raise some of our pork on their pastures) as we expand and grow our herd. Most are born here and live out their lives on the ranch.
What is the fat ratio in your ground beef?
Every animal is slightly different, but we aim for between 85/15 and 80/20 for our ground beef. We love the flavor of good, clean fat in our ground and we think you will too!
Visting FAQ's
Can we visit the ranch for a tour?
We open the ranch occasionally for special events like Farm Dinners and weekend retreats for customers and friends to allow them to experience ranch life and get closer to where their food comes from. We announce these events in our Friends & Family email newsletter when they are released. Other than those times, we run a "lean" operation and besides our family of 6 - have just 1-2 extra ranch hands on some days - so we are very busy taking great care of our animals and getting our excellent meats to our customers!
Brian, Mary and the girls are busy taking care of the animals, the ranch and finding time together as a family so they are not able to accommodate any sort of ranch tours or visits! But you are welcome to drive by the ranch on the public highway (Eastside Rd) and take it all in from the road (please don't stop to block traffic, try to see animals or disrupt daily operations) The Heffs stop by the Burgerhouse often and love to say hello and meet visitors from all over though!

We so appreciate being able to reuse our custom insulated liners again and again! Your box and liner can be used as a travel cooler or recycled at your local recycling center - or return it back to us to use again.
OPTION 1 : The Post Office (USPS)
You can send a box back through the post office using the "Media Mail Rate" (It will take 8-10 days via snail mail but that is okay with us!) Simply place a used book inside (It has to be a book not a magazine - we will donate this to our local community), remove any notes and dry ice bag from inside the box, cover up the dry ice and perishable stickers and take to your local post office to mail back to us for $4-$6. You can also send Priority Mail or "Retail Ground".
send to : Five Marys 6732 Eastside Rd Fort Jones CA 96032.
Once you've sent 10 boxes back via USPS at your cost, we would love to reward you with $100 in credit on your next order! Just email us after 10 returns for your code email@example.com
We can provide a UPS return label to leave the box(es) on your porch for pick up or you can take them to a UPS shipping center. The UPS label costs us a little more than the price of the liner, so we require that you save 2-4 of the boxes of the same size to stack and tape together as one box (since they are so light empty) before you ship them back. The liners are the most valuable part of the box, so you can also pack one liner inside a second box/liner and recycle the first cardboard box. Email email@example.com to print a return UPS label!
These ship to our Farm Store at 11903 Main Street Fort Jones, CA 96032. Since we cover the shipping cost on this option, it is the only one that doesn't qualify for a shopping credit, thanks for understanding!
If you live in the SF Bay Area you can drop off boxes at Mary's parents house at 931 Menlo Oaks Drive in Menlo Park, CA. They are right near the Bay Rd exit off Highway 101 and you can leave boxes on the front porch or behind the house (down the cul-de-sac) by the back gate or garage doors.
OR if you are traveling by Five Marys Burgerhouse on Main Street in Fort Jones, CA - you can always stop in for a meal and drop your boxes off there!
If you've dropped off 10 boxes at either location, we would love to reward you with $100 in credit on your next order! Just email us after 10 returns for your code firstname.lastname@example.com
Coming Soon - we hope to have drop-spots all over the US at other farms/ranches and storefronts where you can drop boxes locally for other ranchers in the M5 Entrepreneurs group to re-use! We will have a reward system set up (ie $5 off coupon for that farm) since they'll get to use the box again for their shipments. Stay tuned!
Mary and Brian Heffernan always dreamed of moving to the country to ranch and raise "free-range kids" in the dirt and sunshine. They both have deep agriculture roots and a passion for small town, small business and family-centered food. So when the opportunity to purchase the historic Sharps Gulch Ranch came along in 2013, Mary and Brian knew they'd found their land. With eyes on a new adventure and California soil in their souls, they took their four spunky girls to Siskiyou county.
We are Five Marys Farms - after Mary and our four daughters all named Mary after grandmothers and aunts on both sides of the family. MaryFrances or "Francie" is 12, MaryMarjorie or "Maisie" is 11, MaryJane or "JJ" is 9 and MaryTeresa or "Tessa" is 7.
Those are the FIVE MARYS proud to be working the ranch everyday keeping up with the leader of our pack, Heff.
Before we moved to the ranch we had small businesses and restaurants and we spent a lot of our time sourcing really good quality ingredients for our menu.
In the quest for super high quality meats, raised ethically but with great flavor, we did a ton of research with our chefs to know exactly what we wanted for our customers.
+ We wanted superior quality beef with a great story behind it.
+ We wanted a grass-fed lifestyle with a barley finish and an extended dry-age.
+ We wanted to know the animals were raised right and harvested humanely.
We searched high and low in small farms and couldn't find anyone who could do this on a large enough scale to supply what we needed.
So we decided to do it ourselves.
We originally thought we'd just go up on the weekends and hire a ranch manager commuting back to our businesses in the city during the week, but we quickly realized we couldn't do both of these things well.
It didn't take us long do decide to totally change paths and jump into ranching full time. This meant selling our businesses and leaving our beautiful home we'd worked so hard for, Brian leaving his busy law practice and moving away from a land of opportunity and the only livelihood we knew.
We knew we had to find a new model and create a business from scratch to sustain our livelihood, so we started from square one.
When we started selling the meat we'd worked hard to raise, we would personally deliver to customers and then we started "farm stands" (our own version of farmers markets). They were a great way to kick start our sales and grow our business early, but we knew that wasn't sustainable for us because we wanted to be on the ranch, not traveling all of the time to sell our meat.
The answer seemed to lie in shipping our meats directly to customers - and finding customers who appreciate high-quality, well-raised meats.
Shipping meat is no easy task, it took well over a year to navigate - but with lots of trial and error and learning from many mistakes - we have a tried-and-true system to sell, pack and ship meat directly to customers all over the US.
We use social media to share our story and sell our product and in four years we've grown to reach over 8,000 customers all over the country and we ship over 10,000 pounds of meat every month right from our ranch in rural California.
Using Social Media to Grow Our Brand...
Thanks to sharing our story on social media, we have received national attention over the past few years - with features in Oprah Magazine, Parents Magazine, Enjoy, Eating Well, Flea Market Style, GEV magazine and Real Simple.
We were also named "Best Farm" in America by Paleo Magazine in 2018!
All of this is because social media allows us to share our day-to-day life. To share our story and help tell the story of agriculture in today's world.
Follow along with us on Instagram as we share our day-to-day lives on the ranch!
Mary and Brian believe that good things take time, from restoring old ranch homes to raising cattle.
There simply are no short cuts.
We commit to consistently provide the finest quality meats only from animals we raise as a family on our ranch directly and hassle-free to your family's doorstep anywhere in the US.
After years in the restaurant business we had a lot of trials cooking with different meats from small farms to bigger names. We appreciate that consistency matters and that extra effort, like well packaged products and a 21 to 28-day dry aging and old world butchery practices (one animal at a time), is required for the most amazing flavor and tenderness. Above all, constant and unwavering care is required every single day of an animal's life to achieve a premium cut of meat. We go that extra mile.
Order our beef, lamb or pork by the individual cut, try one of our sampler assortments or get a customized box regularly with our Farm Club membership. Our ordering process is easy and your product will ship and arrive quickly and without hassle. No minimums or subscriptions are required and we ship anywhere in the country.
We are now the primary meat source for hundreds of families throughout the country and they will tell you our products are consistently fantastic and delivery is quick, easy and predictable.
We hope you will taste and appreciate the difference as well - you won't be disappointed!
Oh, and to answer your first question about us - yes, there really are five Marys. Five Marys Farms is named for the five girls in our family, all named Mary! Our four girls (ages 6-11) are all named after grandmothers and aunts on both sides carrying on a long standing family tradition of strong women named Mary.
We hope you'll SHOP Five Marys meats or join us for a Five Marys experience!
Our livestock spend their days on our Siskiyou county ranch, roaming freely and munching wild, Californian grasses. The ranching methods and beliefs we use, from grazing rotations to slaughter, preserve and protect the land we live on and respect the animals we raise from birth until their "one bad day" sacrificing for the food on our plates.
As far as certifications go, we believe in actions, not labels. Our products reflect our beliefs in respecting our animals, raising them with the utmost care and comfort and in feeding our customers only what we feed our family - the highest quality meats raised as naturally and humanely as possible.
We are raising Black Angus cattle, Navajo-Churro sheep, Berkshire hogs and a wide variety of laying hens.
Everyday is an adventure here on the ranch!
We believe in selling only the finest meat and the finest meat comes from animals and land that are well cared for.
There are no shortcuts.
We are a small family ranch and together as a family we vigilantly care for each of our animals.
Our Black Angus cattle, Navajo Churro lambs and Berkshire heritage pigs spend their lives on our green pastures and hills rich in minerals and with plenty of sunshine and fresh Northern California mountain air.
You can experience the difference in the taste of our beef, lamb and pork.
Our meat is never treated with antibiotics or hormones.
We are organically minded and GMO free.
Our beef is finished on pasture grass and steam-flaked GMO-free barley.
Our animals are processed at a first class USDA process, cut and wrap facility and each cut has complete traceability to our animals.
Our ground beef and steaks are all dry aged for 14-28 days for tenderness and flavor you won't find many places other than the premier steakhouses.
We strive to bring the finest meat to your table, as well as the real story behind it, so you know just where your food comes from.
the history of our agricultural background & sharps gulch ranch
The land we live on is rich in family farming history and we are proud to continue that legacy through hard work, storytelling and the restoration of the ranch's two homes, a large victorian and a 19th century creamery-turned house. We both come from a long lines of agriculture families, so we are grateful and excited to see these California roots grow into a story of our own.
- Mary and Brian Heffernan
We are very proud to be back in agriculture, just as our ancestors were, on our own family farm to continue our Californian history on Siskiyou County soil. Our daughters are 7th generation Californians who we hope to raise with a love and respect of the land where we live.
We are the Heffernan Family and are proud to be stewards of the land at Sharps Gulch Ranch. With farming in our blood from generations past, we are raising livestock and our children as natural as we can in the California sunshine.
We like doing things the hard way.
We believe in muddy boots, calloused hands and nurturing our land and livestock through dedication and hard work.
We believe that healthy animals live in big spaces with lots of sunshine, and don't need extra hormones, chemicals or antibiotics.

Conjunctivitis is a swelling and irritation of the membrane that covers the white part of the eye and eyelid lining. It is often referred to as "pink eye" due to the pink color of inflamed blood vessels.
Many irritants can cause temporary conjunctivitis. Seasonal or indoor allergens, pollutants in the air, eye makeup, contact lenses, or other kinds of debris may cause irritation and inflammation. It is usually alleviated when debris or allergens are no longer present. Washing the affected eye and keeping it clean often allows enough time to heal, and symptoms should subside.
Infection Conjunctivitis
Infection conjunctivitis may be viral or bacterial. The viral type may accompany a cold, fever, sore throat, or flu. Eye redness and watery discharge are common symptoms. Staph or strep bacteria may cause bacterial conjunctivitis. It can include eye redness and discharging mucus.
Bacterial and viral pinkeye can be highly contagious and can easily be passed between people. This is often seen in children as they can contract it during play in schools or daycares. The symptoms are generally mild and do not pose a serious threat to eye health. However, it should be treated by an eye doctor. A doctor should also see newborns with symptoms as it's important to diagnose and treat symptoms in young babies to ensure no vision loss occurs.
Conjunctivitis is a common condition we see often. Some eye diseases are similar, so it's important for patients to have a professional evaluation by an eye doctor to determine their specific needs and proper treatment. Treatment is different depending on the cause, but all forms of conjunctivitis need professional evaluation to ensure good eye health. In most cases, it can be successfully treated with antibiotics, eye drops, or ointments.
