I couldn't think of a better place to ask than here :)
We're renting a house. The window in the kitchen is about 20 years old. Its seal has been broken since we moved in (fogging, etc.), if that matters at all. We're in Minnesota, so it is fairly cold. It was about 30 degrees today when the window broke. We keep our house at about 68. Today, I burned a batch of cookies. A tragedy in itself, but it got worse. My husband opened the window (casement style crank) about 2 inches, to air out the kitchen from the burned smell. It was left this way for maybe 3-5 minutes. Then he turned the crank to close it. We heard a gunshot-like popping sound and the window shattered from the center of the window outward, just like that! This is not the first window we've opened in the cold in our lives, but we've never, ever had this happen before! So, what on earth happened? |

Tough to say exactly but it is either because of interstitial pressures or a very fast temperature differential. In this case, probably a combination of the two. |

Here is my experience with what happened to you. On certain insulated glass packages, after the glass goes through the oven that seals the unit and it begins to cool, this happens. As the sealed unit cools, the glass units begin to hour glass - or bow toward each other. You may have noticed this affect on houses or other buildings in your area. In your situation, you burnt cookies which probably heated up the room. When the window was opened the hour glassed units contracted, the two lites of glass contacted each other and shattered. This also happens as windows are tested. The window/door is put under loads and sometimes the glass contacts each other and literally explodes. Just speculation. |
It's possible the inside pane of glass became very warm. When glass becomes warm, it expands. When the window was opened, it was exposed to a sudden blast of cold air and the glass contracted quickly causing it to shatter. I had something similar to this happpen a few years ago when we got a cold front moving thru and the cold air and rain hit a tempered glass table on my deck and caused it to suddenly shatter. Either that or The Flying Cookie Monster was punishing you for the burnt cookies. In either case, don't do that again! |
That's a good answer by "sky". We've seen glass break in the same respect on projects, while we are still constructing. Deep soffits will often shade a cold upper portion of window's glass. If the afternoon sun moves over the top of the house and exposes the lower portion of the western elevation's glass to an excessive amount of immediate heat, the glass will sometimes crack. |

As mentioned in Sky's post, the phenomenon is know as thermal shock. |
Does not sound like very well-tempered glass, nor a well made window unit. Imagine if your Pyrex measuring cups behaved like this. They can make a tempered glass 2-pint measuring cup that safely goes from freezer to oven for $5, but not a much more expensive window unit that will handle the typical daily environment of cold and sun? Is it physics, or the corrupt doings of The Glazing Cartel? (I jest not about The Cartel; in specialized applications/locations (e.g. HVHZ), the # total of suppliers is often 1, or at most 2.) We The Consumers are perhaps not getting our hard-earned $$ worth. Often a class-action suit by the Attorneys General of several states is just the ticket to get the QC dept. to tighten things up a bit. ;') Sorry about your exploding window. Hope your landlord is not an *-hole about it. One hears so many sad tales of the whiz-bang double-pane offerings. I always did fine, in PA and CO, w/ single pane windows, supplemented by storm windows... of course the rapid airing of the kitchen scenario becomes a tad more problematic... pros and cons, no simple answers. |
Was it an Andersen? |
Thanks for the replies, I had about forgotten I posted this! The inside of the window was not hot at all. It was only 68 in the house, it wasn't sunny outside, there was no fire from the cookies, just a little smoke from the oven, etc. I would be amazed if a window can't handle a 38 degree temp difference. That's terrible! I really can't imagine it was a temperature shock, especially because it didn't happen until the window was closed. Any other ideas? |

Fully one-third of military chaplains are currently evangelicals and the percentage is increasing. Many fundamentalists assert that a good officer has to be "moral," by which they mean "religious," in the belief that it is impossible to be ethical without a relationship to God. As many of the evangelicals also believe they possess the absolute truth in terms of their own definitions of religiosity, there is little room for alternative viewpoints.

A.M. Best Downgrades Issuer Credit Ratings Of Cincinnati Financial Corporation And Certain Property/Casualty Subsidiaries; Affirms Financial Strength Ratings
A.M. Best Co. has downgraded the issuer credit ratings (ICR) to "aa-" from "aa" and affirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of A+ (Superior) of The Cincinnati Insurance Companies (CIC) and its standard market property/casualty members. Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmed the FSR of A (Excellent) and ICR of "a+" of The Cincinnati Life Insurance Company (Cincinnati Life). Additionally, A.M. Best has downgraded the ICR to "a-" from "a" and debt ratings of CIC and Cincinnati Life's publicly traded parent, Cincinnati Financial Corporation (CINF) [NASDAQ: CINF]. All companies are domiciled in Fairfield, OH, except where specified. The outlook for these ratings is stable.
A.M. Best also has affirmed the FSR of A (Excellent) and ICR of "a" of The Cincinnati Specialty Underwriters Insurance Company (CSU) (Wilmington, DE), a wholly owned, separately rated subsidiary of The Cincinnati Insurance Company, the lead property/casualty company. The outlook for CSU remains stable.
The rating action to CIC's ICR reflects the continued deterioration of its underwriting results in recent years. The primary source of this recent deterioration has been above-average catastrophe-related losses recorded due to CIC's concentrated business profile. Lackluster results in the workers' compensation line of business also have contributed to the decline in underwriting performance, although to a lesser extent. As a result, the group's underwriting and operating performance measures are no longer in line with similarly rated peers.
Furthermore, the group's market profile is somewhat geographically concentrated relative to its rating level, as nearly 50% of its writings are derived from six states in the Midwest and Southeast. The group is therefore exposed to economic, legislative and judicial changes, as well as weather and catastrophe-related losses, as evidenced by significant losses in more recent accident years. In the first nine months of 2011, CIC reported in excess of $400.0 million in catastrophe-related losses, which is expected to add approximately 14.5 points on the year-end combined ratio.

Hey butterfly buds,
I was wondering if the butterfly vets could help answer a few of my questions so I don't make any big mistakes here. I have a huge seed tray of milkweed babies- all different kinds... swamp-incarnata
I would love to put these in the ground, but I don't have the space so I HAVE to pot the majority of them, so far there are 87 seedlings that are getting their second and third set of true leaves. I think they want out of the seed tray, so here are my questions: What size pots can they grow in? I would like to use 1-gal but don't know if that is big enough. I know they have big taproots. Transplanting- I am usually really good at this, have transplanted numerous beans and cukes, although these hate to be transplanted...Do milkweed transplant well or will I lose a lot during transplant? Upkeep- Can I keep these in the pot and trim them back for next spring? It's so hot here, I can't imagine they'd die unless I let them dry out, or better yet, they all get eaten! Thanks for any help! And thanks to everyone who sent me seeds!

Hey, Danielle. I just potted up some of my seedlings into about 4 and 5" pots. They seem to be doing fine. I used Miracle Gro potting mix. I think a gal. pot might be too big to start out with. I was worried that my smaller pots would be too big, but so far, so good. Do you have some smaller pots than gallon size? Susan |
Hi Danielle, The Incarnata doesn't have a huge taproot (someone please correct me if I am wrong); last year I dug up my 6 1.5-year old clumps and they were just that - clumpy! Mine did not have a taproot, very easy to move. I don't see why they wouldn't do well in a 1-gal pot... although they get a little tall so floppage *might* be an issue. I started some Curassavica a year ago from seed and transplanted some to 1-gal pots that I kept inside to feed monarch cats I brought in. They took well to the pots - and even bloomed (sort of!) this winter! I just chopped them back a bit as they got a bit floppy, but now they look pretty lush. Just keep 'em watered well, as you probably know from your other container plantings. Hope that helps. Great photos btw! Love the kittens. :) Sandy |
When transplanting, the most important thing is to be sure to use B1 afterwards. I did some transplanting of some seedlings that I literally pulled OUT of the ground and stuck into a small pot of soil. The poor thing looked pathetic but after a bit of B1, it perked right up! :) B1 is quite inexpensive and can be found in any garden center. Just add it to the water when you water your plant right after transplanting... I do add SuperThrive as well but I don't think this is necessary... :) It DOES seem to help, though. |
- Posted by linda_centralokzn6 Zn7_Okla (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 07 at 8:53
Tdog, I thought that Superthrive WAS Vitamins. I am not familiar with "B1". What name and Company is it usually listed under? Thanks! |
Perhaps this? http://www.yardlover.com/products.php?pid=2378 |
- Posted by susanlynne48 z7a-OKC (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 07 at 11:48
As I recall "Super Thrive" is B-1, or has B-1 in it. I would use one or the other, or else your plants might OD on B-1! LOL! I used to use ST on my begonias a lot when transplanting the tiny seedlings. Susan |
I'm sorry to be contrary but the Univ Of Ca has done studies on B1 and find it did not have any effect on transplants. I quit using it years ago. If you have doubts about the roots of your milkweed I would add alittle rooting hormone. It keeps diseases away while the roots settle in. However when I transplant mine I use quick draining soil and make sure the soil is packed firmly around the roots so there are no air spots. Actually milkweed is quite tough. Penny |
- Posted by firegurl z10 CA (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, May 1, 07 at 13:30
Thanks everyone for all of the advice! I will use some 1gal or 1/2 gallons to start off. The biggest part is I don't want to have to transplant 87 milkweed twice. I looked up the B1, I thought it was vitamin b1 at first too, LOL. I'm not big on adding much to my plants unless I know there is a huge need, mainly I'm just too cheap right now after graduating college a few years ago, income is still tight. I wonder if it works, seems like there is some controversy here, hmmn. Penny- I thought that the roots wanted some air spots? Just curious as to your reasoning for packing firmly? I will definitely use some rooting hormone- good idea. :) Danielle |
you need soil that will allow air to get through it but if you leave big air holes, slugs, pill bugs, molds and other nasties can move in. Always pack the soil well with a chop stick making sure you leave no holes. I put more than one milkweed in a gallon can - 2 or 3. Happy planting. Penny |
- Posted by susanlynne48 z7a-OKC (My Page) on Tue, May 1, 07 at 19:49
I've always thought that if you believe a thing is true, it is. This school of thought is a little more esoteric, but IMHO if someone believes that ST or B-1 is helping their plants, maybe it is? I know that when I used it, it didn't harm the plants in any way. I haven't used it personally in years. Potting soils have improved so much over they years, and I don't pack my soil down real hard either, because I don't want to compact the roots. I water it in, and if I need more, I put more on top and water that in. Different strokes............... Susan |

New Jimi Hendrix Track, 'Earth Blues,' Streaming Online
The complete album won't be out until March 5, but if you're interested in getting a sneak preview at a cut from the new Jimi Hendrix compilation 'People, Hell & Angels,' you're in luck.
The complete album won't be out until March 5, but if you're interested in getting a sneak preview at a cut from the new Jimi Hendrix compilation 'People, Hell & Angels,' you're in luck.
Fans would pay good money just to see one of the many artists that took the stage during Saturday night's (Nov. 17) Jimi Hendrix tribute concert at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Wash. Amongst the dozen or so guitarists, Pearl Jam's Mike McCready left the biggest impression, according to reviews and confirmed in the below video of him playing 'Voodoo Child' with former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan.
The film was assembled from the original 16mm footage by Michael Wadleigh, who directed the 'Woodstock' movie.
A new line of clothing inspired by the songs of Jimi Hendrix will soon hit the shelves of New York-based upscale retailer Bloomingdale's. The collection has been fully licensed by Experience Hendrix, LLC, the company founded by Hendrix's father to make sure that his son's image is not exploited.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience made their live debut 46 years ago this week with four dates in France.
Producers of the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic say they never planned on using original songs from the guitarist, because the movie will be set before hits like 'Purple Haze' and 'The Wind Cries Mary' were released. 'All Is By My Side,' starring Andre Benjamiin (aka Andre 3000 of the hip-hop group Outkast) may be ready for the 2013 Sundance Festival.
It's hard to believe that Jimi Hendrix would be 69 this month. To celebrate the occasion, on November 27th (his birthday) a new app called Jimi Hendrix - The Complete Experience will be coming out on iTunes. So
Happy birthday Leo Fender - (1909 - 1991), he would have been 102 years old today. Leo invented the electric bass, and put out the first mass-produced solid-body electric guitar. Without Fender Telecasters, Stratocasters, and the electric jazz bass... Where would we be?

How to tell whether breathing trouble and a persistent cough might be the beginning of a serious lung condition known as COPD
It's normal to need to catch your breath if you're walking briskly, but if you have trouble just getting up the stairs or taking a stroll around the block, it may be a sign of a larger problem known as COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is an umbrella term used to describe serious lung conditions such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis, andsmoking is the biggest risk factor. While you may not have heard of COPD, it's the third leading cause of death in the US. In fact, it's as common as diabetes and asthma, says Byron Thomashow MD, chairman of the board of the COPD Foundation and a clinical professor of medicine at Columbia University Medical Center.
The illness may be worse for women than men, but the good news is that it's both preventable and treatable. Here is what you need to know for healthy lungs so you can breathe easy.
1. Symptoms can be sneaky. Over 13 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with COPD, and an estimated 12 million people have it and just don't know it. COPD's symptoms, which include shortness of breath and a persistent cough with or without mucous, gradually get worse over time, so it's easy to mistake them for something else. You may think shortness of breath is just a sign that you're out of shape or the result of yet another candle on your birthday cake. A chronic cough that doesn't go away may be pegged as allergies or asthma and treated with OTC meds. "These symptoms should be treated early before it gets to the point where you can't breathe," says Dr. Thomashow. To discover if your symptoms might be COPD, ask yourself: How does my breathing compare to a year ago? Can I still do the same activities? Can I do what I want to do?
2. COPD may be worse for women. COPD used to be thought of as a man's disease, but now more women are diagnosed with and die of the illness than men. Since it typically takes decades for COPD to develop, experts speculate that one reason for the increase is that smoking rates for women peaked around the 1970s—about 10 years later than for men—and smoking is the biggest risk factor. Still, smoking rates alone may not be the only reason for the rise. "Some evidence suggests that women may be more genetically susceptible to COPD, but it's not understood exactly why," says Dr. Thomashow. "Also, women may be more sensitive to toxins, such as secondhand smoke or diesel fumes from traffic, and may suffer more when exposed to the same amount of toxins as men."

The best of the fine dining dim sum restaurants in Southern California. Very nice selection after 11:00 AM.
The best of the fine dining dim sum restaurants in Southern California. Very nice selection after 11:00 AM.
I ordered some dim sum (6 dishes) for take out today. 10-15 minutes later a young lady brought out my dim sums to me and I took the bag and left. By the time I drove back home, I found that it only contained 4 of the 6 dishes. Oh well... I lost $8 bucks and I guess someone else... More
Four of us ate a great lunch. I was pleasantly surprised how tasty the dishes were. The flavors and spices were perfectly dispersed throughout each bite. I usually don't get excited about shumai. This however was wonderful. The shrimp was moist and juicy. The pork was spiced just right and they went together . Each bite was delicious. I ordered... More
The skinny: Parking: free garage behind the restaurant Decor: Chinese banquet Wait time: 20-30 minutes Restrooms: dark and clean Service: stiff Food: pretty damn good I love dim sum and we came here to have lunch with Mom since she hadn't had it in a long time. This place doesn't do the carts, you just mark up the menu which... More
This is one of the best dim sum place in the San Gabriel Valley area. However, the wait time is not acceptable, long enough that make you want to leave and think twice when going back. Awesome place for dim sum regardless the wait time and average customer services. Quite easy for parking (street & structured). I would highly recommend... More
I love good dim sum and I just found out about this place from a friend. It's a bit more expensive but the quality of the food justifies the cost. The wait is a little longer because it's smaller than other larger dim sum establishments but it's worth it. It's really clean inside and the food comes out really quickly... More
Ate here when visiting Pasadena. All of our dim sum entrees were very good and only the duck was not excellent. Other posts paint it as expensive. I didn't find it overly so but perhaps that's because I'm from New York and numb to price; nevertheless for three of us to leave completely stuffed it was $40.
From a local POV, Lunasia is the typical dim sum/Chinese restaurant. However, with its prices on the higher end, comes a slightly more affluent clientele (both Chinese or even non-Chinese). My opinion of their food is that it tastes great and is pricey, and will not likely appeal to those looking for "bang for the buck". For those new or... More
Lunasia is a wonderful place to bring family and friends for delicious dim sum and other Chinese food, such as noodles, beef and seafood dishes. Expect to wait a half hour or more on a weekend for dim sum around lunchtime, but it is usually easier to get a table during the workweek. The house special noodles are delicious, as... More
My Gold Star for dim sum is still Yank SIng in San Francisco. I've tried most of the well known dim sum restaurants in LA/SGV and Lunasia most definitely leads the pack. Like Yank SIng, you get what you pay for. High quality food is expensive and I'm always willing to pay for quality food. You can't stay in business... More

It could have been the provocative title: Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll.
Or the advance warning: This talk may make some people uncomfortable as it will be open and frank.
Whatever the reason, more than 300 members of Senior Scholars of Queens packed a meeting room last week to hear Dr. Kevin Soden speak about human sexuality for the senior set, how its never too old to be interested in sex even if you have to set your own standard for what is normal. (The over-55 group hosts weekly speakers in partnership with Queens University of Charlotte.)
Soden is a onetime emergency physician at Carolinas Medical Center and former health reporter for WBTV who has worked with Dr. Mehmet Oz and hosts his own Emmy award-winning TV shows, Healthline and Whole Body Health.
As indicated by the title, Soden divided his talk into three parts. In addition to the sex, he talked about exercise as a way to keep rocking and rolling, and drugs, as in mostly the prescription type for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and depression.
On exercise: Get 30 minutes a day five days a week and incorporate strength training to keep bones strong. Walk your dog even if you dont have one, said Soden, who offers similar advice in videos at www.sharecare.com.
On drugs: The more you take, the more likely youll have side effects that could include drowsiness, confusion, memory loss, depression, incontinence, fatigue and muscle weakness, just to name a few. All of these things have the potential to interact with one another, he said. Talk to your doctor about whether any medicine is really necessary, how to know if its working, and what the side effects are.
When Soden finally got to the Sex part of his hour-long talk, he acknowledged: This is what youre all here for. He displayed a photograph of himself at an AARP convention chatting with Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the 85-year-old sex therapist widely known for plain-spoken advice.
Soden used humor to deflect nervousness by displaying cartoons depicting old people talking about sex. It worked. The audience laughed again and again.
• My sex life isnt dead but the buzzards are circling.
• You can have a healthy sex life into old age, assuming you can stand the sight of people your age naked.
• (Couple in a bed divided by barbed wire) Apparently Ive done something to upset you.
But despite the advance billing, Sodens talk didnt come close to explicit. The most direct words were about men. Penis size doesnt change with age, he said, even though it might appear that way when viewed against an expanding belly. Also, aging causes men to lose the ability to have psychogenic erections that occur often in younger men who just think of something sexual or see someone whos physically attractive.
Soden also talked about the increase in medicines, such as Viagra, that treat erectile dysfunction and the marketing of drugs for low testosterone. I would be really careful, he said. Low testosterone levels are a normal fact of life as we age.
Questions from the audience even anonymous ones written beforehand were more tame than Soden expected. He said one woman came up to him privately afterward to thank him for saying that its normal to have sex no matter how old you are. But in the public setting, it seemed everyone was more comfortable just keeping it light.
One Senior Scholar who ducked out before the Q&A period joked to a few of us: We cant stay. We have to go home and have sex.

GOV 390L • Politics of the Middle East and North Africa
Unique | Days | Time | Location | Instructor |
39415 |
Course Description
CANCELLED This seminar will critically examine various Western (Weberian, Marxist, and post-structural) approaches to the study of politics in the Middle East and North Africa, particularly within the Arab world. We stress theoretical assumptions about politics as well as the content of contemporary everyday politics in the region because our understanding of the everyday may be victim to our own intellectual tastes and prejudices. For instance, is "Islamism" an ideology like Marxist-Leninism? Are the "Bolsheviks" or extremists bound to win out? We tend to think by analogy, and it is important for us to be aware of our underlying assumptions.
How, if at all, and under what conditions may "democracy" develop in the Muslim parts of the Middle East and North Africa? This seems to be the most important question facing the region today, for virtually all the regimes in the region are confronted with the challenge of making major changes if they are to survive. Political transitions are also a major concern of students of comparative politics. We will keep coming back to this question as we analyze institutions, processes, classes, civil society, groups, modes of production, clienteles, ideologies, strategic elites, professions, and the like--categories used to compare political systems. You will also be expected to acquire a good contextual appreciation of at least one country of the Middle East or North Africa in addition to Egypt and Morocco, which are well discussed in some of the core readings.

During an interview with ABC News, former President Bill Clinton was asked by "This Week" anchor George Stephanopoulos about the biggest lesson he learned from the 2008 presidential campaign, in which his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic presidential primary to then Sen. Barack Obama who ultimately defeated former Republican Gov. Mitt Romney to win the general election.
Below are excerpts from what Clinton told Stephanopoulos during their interview, which taped Thursday in New York during the Clinton Global Initiative.
1) "You've got to have a plan for the future that relates to the people. You know, this is not about the candidates as much as about having a plan for the future."
2) "You have to have a strategy for presenting your true self to the voters in an environment where there are unprecedented opportunities for those who don't want you to win to paint a different picture of your true self."
3) "Big data helps, it really matters. And you have to merge high-tech with grassroots. "
4) "I still think we have way too many caucuses. They're not democratic. And unlike primaries, they have no legal enforcement. You can break the rules, nobody's going to say anything. I think there are way too many of them."
5) "And we have learned that it's a strategy in modern life to make– do reverse plastic surgery on people, so that people don't really know who you are."
Toward the end of the conversation, Clinton added the following:
"You must learn the lessons of your mistakes and your failures without becoming a general who fights the last war, because every new encounter will be shaped by different forces."

Karla Hermann, a professional hypnotist who uses hypnotherapy as a safe and natural method to effectively help you quit smoking, leads the seminar. Although smokers have different levels of addiction, this hypnosis program applies to any smoker by using the mind-body approach to take you back to when you started smoking and disconnect the wires of your addiction. The system is designed to delve into the emotional triggers of what caused the addiction, and once your subconscious is desensitized, it's forced into a state of reorganization. This seminar can help you gradually taper off to become a non-smoker. The seminar will also include weight-control suggestions.
Through a variety of traditional homeopathic services, the team at Hartland Center of Alternative Medicine doesn't just ease clients' pain, but they treat its root causes so that pain won't return. The staff relies on services such as traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, each of which draws on thousands of years of practice to help treat ailments that range from anxiety and sleeplessness to headaches, PMS, and sore throats.
Certified hypnotherapist Lynne Nozicka facilitates wellness by helping clients overcome self-destructive inner monologues and behaviors. Her treatments address a wide breadth of issues, including struggles with weight, smoking, and anxiety.
Every appointment begins with a conversation that focuses on the habits, hang-ups, and issues that each individual wants to target. Nozicka then helps clients to envision their ideal, healthful selves before commencing hypnosis sessions that excavate negative thoughts hidden in the subconscious and replace them with adorable motivational cat posters. To supplement treatment plans, Lynne offers suggestions for permanent lifestyle changes.

Henry Howard
Biography of Henry Howard
Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey KG was an English aristocrat, and one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry.
He was the eldest son of Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and his second wife, the former Lady Elizabeth Stafford (daughter of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham), so he was descended from kings on both sides of his family tree. He was reared at Windsor with Henry VIII's illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset, and they became close friends and, later, brothers-in-law. He became Earl of Surrey in 1524 when his grandfather died and his father became Duke of Norfolk.
In 1532 he accompanied his first cousin Anne Boleyn, the King, and the Duke of Richmond to France, staying there for more than a year as a member of the entourage of Francis I of France. In 1536 his first son, Thomas (later 4th Duke of Norfolk), was born, Anne Boleyn was executed on charges of adultery and treason, and the Duke of Richmond died at the age of 17 and was buried at one of the Howard homes, Thetford Abbey. In 1536 Surrey also served with his father against the Pilgrimage of Grace rebellion protesting the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Literary activity and legacy
He and his friend Sir Thomas Wyatt were the first English poets to write in the sonnet form that Shakespeare later used, and Surrey was the first English poet to publish blank verse in his translation of the second and fourth books of Virgil's Aeneid. Together, Wyatt and Surrey, due to their excellent translations of Petrarch's sonnets, are known as "Fathers of the English Sonnet". While Wyatt introduced the sonnet into English, it was Surrey who gave them the rhyming meter and the division into quatrains that now characterizes the sonnets variously named English, Elizabethan or Shakespearean sonnets.
Death and burial
Henry VIII, consumed by paranoia and increasingly ill, became convinced that Surrey had planned to usurp the crown from his son Edward. The King had Surrey imprisoned - with his father - sentenced to death on 13 January 1547, and beheaded for treason on 19 January 1547 (his father survived impending execution only by it being set for the day after the king happened to die, though he remained imprisoned). Surrey's son Thomas became heir to the Dukedom of Norfolk instead, inheriting it on the 3rd Duke's death in 1554.
He is buried in a spectacular painted alabaster tomb in the church of St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham.
Marriage and issue
He married Lady Frances de Vere, the daughter of John de Vere, 15th Earl of Oxford and the former Elizabeth Trussell.
They had five children:
Lady Jane Howard, married Charles Neville, 6th Earl of Westmorland
Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (10 March 1536 – 2 June 1572) married (1) Mary FitzAlan (2) Margaret Audley (3) Elizabeth Leyburne
Lady Margaret Howard, married Henry Scrope, 9th Baron Scrope of Bolton
Henry Howard, 1st Earl of Northampton
Lady Catherine Howard, married Henry Berkeley, 7th Baron Berkeley

So Cruel Prison
So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
As proud Windsor? Where I in lust and joy
With a king's son my childish years did pass
In greater feast than Priam's sons of Troy;
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour:
The large green courts, where we were wont to hove,
With eyes cast up unto the maidens' tower,
And easy sighs, such as folk draw in love;
The stately salles, the ladies bright of hue,

Hello folks! Anyone know a place in LA area to buy pumice in bulk? I know OSH sells in small packs but like commercially? Thank you. Gary |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here's a couple to start with. There is one more that I'm trying to remember and will post when I think of it. O.F. Wolfinbarger in Ontario off the 60 freeway. |
Not in LA exactly........ but if you're ever near Anaheim stadium, check out Orange County Farm Supply. I think a 50lb bag is still less than $10.00. Icadena - "Long Beach Shavings And Top Soil" - Is this a pumice source in Long Beach? |
Thank you both. |
Growforit, I think so. I asked my brother who is a landscape contractor and he thinks it is. Could be wrong, but a phone call ahead of time might be wise. |
- Posted by yorkiemiki none (My Page) on Sat, Jan 4, 14 at 0:42
Are you near the southbay? LA is a big place haha I go to Lomita Feed which is a Feed store and buy a 40 lb bag for $14-18. Lomita You could try feed stores in your area |
I'm in Burbank. I just called Orange County farm supply. 50lb for $8.75 wow!!! |
- Posted by yorkiemiki none (My Page) on Sat, Jan 4, 14 at 1:22
wow now that is a good deal!! |
That's where I get mine. OC Farm Supply. Seems more like 30 pounds, they bag it themselves. Either way, a good deal. They do run out so be sure to call first before you go. |
Agromin, off Hueneme road in Oxnard/Port Hueneme, sells pumice for app. $35 a yard (fills the bed of a pickup). It's less than an hour north of LA. They also do custom soil mixes for far less than garden supply stores if you're willing to buy by the yard. RTH Zone 10a |
Rataho.. Thank you. This is a better drive for me than OC from Burbank. -gary |
- Posted by cactusmcharris 4 / Interior BC (My Page) on Mon, Jan 6, 14 at 11:56
Gary, You might also see if you have a Hanson Aggregate in your area - many a bag of pumice was harvested in their San Diego location, but they might be in SouCal, too. |
- Posted by yorkiemiki (My Page) on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 19:32
Thanks guys for tips. I bought some bags at the location in OC. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get Decomposed Granite in bulk or pebbles or pumic in bulk. Like where u can get them to dump a couple truck loads in your yard, not just bags? I'm going to be doing some big landscaping about 1500 square feet of lawn changed into a succulent garden. Any other tips helpful |
I've use these guys before. Saddleback Material Company http://saddlebackmaterialsco.com/index.html |
Here is a link that might be useful: Saddleback Material Company

Thanks Reggieee I'll check them out. I also got recommended a place called Thompsons Landscaping supplies, but their reviews on yelp aren't the greatest. Anyone have experience with them? |
To add another place: Whittier Fertilizer, located in Pico Rivera. Got a 1 cubic foot bag for $5.75 just now. |
Whittier Fertilizer also sells by the yard and half yard. A yard is about $65. |

We will be in the Dallas area in early June and our kids would like to visit a water park. I see there are several new ones along with the Six Flags Water Park. Anyone have or heard any opinions on these. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I lived in the Dallas/Ft Worth area 15 yrs ago I think we always went to white waters, Six flags didn't have a water park then...We lived in the Dallas area for 8 years and never heard anything about a "top 10"(I think it was #1 of the to 10) water park in the U.S., San Antonio, Schlitterond or some german sounding name. If you have a chance to go there I would. We didn't even know about it until I saw something on the travel channel a few years ago....probably never get a chance now:( |
Or maybe it was Austin, TX...not sure... |

Previously I went into detail about specialized interactive items and elements, such as Link's ocarina from Ocarina of Time and the various mini games in the Bioshock series, and when it would be appropriate to implement them in a game. Now I'd like to take a look at successful – and not so successful – implementation in greater detail using Capcom's Okami and Konami's Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow for examples. (Incidentally, I have zero idea if there's an industry-standard name for these elements, so if anyone knows please clue me in.)
Both games used a specialized interactive item mechanic that amounted to the player drawing shapes on the screen. However, the inputs were not equal in their execution. Both Okami and Dawn of Sorrow were high quality games that were very well received by audiences, but their respective innovative item mechanics could not have been more different in reception. In short, painting with Okami's Celestial Brush was successful, while drawing the magic seals was a "failure", subjectively speaking. So why did Okami succeed while Dawn of Sorrow failed?
Let's take a look at the Celestial Brush from Okami first.
