moen pool and guesthouse, des moines, iowa
Herbert Lewis Kruse Blunck Architecture
Iowa's rural corncribs inspired this simple glass box shaded with wood slats. A long gallery connects the guesthouse to the main house and echoes its linear circulation spine.
herbert lewis kruse blunck architecture, des moines
This simple but elegant guesthouse gazes across a pool to the owner's eco-conscious house, designed in the 1970s by Ray D. Crites, FAIA, a well-known Iowa architect. The main house is about 120 feet long, and its orderly, rigorous design was the starting point for Kirk V. Blunck, FAIA.
Borrowing its organizing principle of a single circulation spine, Blunck created a long, linear gallery connecting the house to the guesthouse. The cedar shake-clad hallway serves as both a privacy wall for the pool deck and a showplace for the client's art collection. But the guesthouse itself looks farther afield for its identity—to Iowa's rural corncribs. "There are still a fair amount of geometrically simple corncribs in the Midwest," Blunck says. "I've stopped so many times to photograph them."
Essentially, the guesthouse is a cube within a cube—a glass box overlaid with a cedar scrim for shade. The jury applauded the use of an old rural material on a modern box. "I want to see this house 30 or 40 years from now," said one judge. "[This is a situation where] modernism could deteriorate and be beautiful."

By Carmen Gonzalez Even as cloud and managed services grow increasingly central to business strategy and performance, challenges remain. The biggest sticking point for companies seeking to capitalize on the cloud is data security. Keeping data safe is an issue in any computing environment, and it has been a focus since the earliest days of the cloud revolution. Understandably so: a lot can go wrong when you allow valuable information to live outside the firewall. Recent revelations about government snooping, along with a steady stream of well-publicized data breaches, only add to the uncertainty Mar. 4, 2015 11:15 AM EST Reads: 819 |

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

I've seen all of both. Most of the content is the same, but each medium has its own way of conveying things. Scenes like these, I think, work very well in the anime (I prefer subs to the English version, myself).Mad-Mutt wrote:I didn't really watch a lot of the Azumanga anime myself because I had that big ass omnibus that had all the comics. The anime is suppose to be based off of the comics so I doubt I'm missing anything. I think its funnier in comic form personally, but that's just me.
Incidentally, I'm currently having an argument with someone about the implications of the Von Neumann–Morgenstern utility theorem in response to issues raised in a pony fanfiction.

It is just an iPod Touch, but it's also large enough that it can be used as a computer for everything that 90% of the world uses a computer for. It's a completely closed computer, which is both somewhat frightening and somewhat interesting. Like it or not, I think this is the direction much of the industry will be moving in the next decade. Less open, more secure, almost impossible to f*** up.
I have no use for one, but it will be a big hit.

Adobe on Flash and the iPad: 'Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices'
Adobe's been trying to get Flash on the iPhone with zero success since Steve Jobs first held the thing in the air in 2007, and it looks like the tension is only going to grow as the iPhone OS moves onto the iPad. We noticed that the iPad doesn't have Flash support almost immediately when Jobs was demoing the browser, and the Adobe Flash Platform blog picked right up on it, saying:It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple's DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers. And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web.
If I want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab -- not to mention the millions of other sites on the web -- I'll be out of luck.
Yep, that sounds about right -- and Adobe goes on to point out that the Open Screen Project is bringing Flash to all sorts of other devices. Considering the Nokia N900 runs Flash 9 extremely well on a 600MHz ARM Cortex A8-based TI OMAP 3 processor (and the Palm Pre, which uses the same chip, will be able to run Flash 10.1 when webOS 1.4 comes out) we don't see any reason other than politics that the iPad can't do it on that fancy new 1GHz dual-core Cortex A9-based A4 chip. Turns out people might think "the best way to experience the web" might involve a little Hulu, you know?

Planning for the DO-254 project
The planning phase is crucial in the DO-254 project lifecycle, since it defines how all aspects of the project achieve DO-254 compliance. The team builds the Plan for Hardware Aspects of Certification document (PHAC), which should be approved before the project can proceed. A weak planning phase is most commonly the culprit when DO-254 projects develop massive cost overruns and delays. Mentor Graphics can help you avoid DO-254 planning problems.

Well the exhibit opened and loads of fantastic panoramas were on display to the public. As all of my panoramas were shot locally I decided to approach my local newspaper with the story. Well they have now published a short piece on me and my panoramas and I managed to get a mention of the IVRPA into it too. You can read the piece on their website here;

Right-Wing Media Portray Partition Plan Supported By Israelis, American Jews As Simply The "Palestinian Plan"
Right-Wing Media Attack Obama For Announcing Israel Policy Espoused By Bush, Former Israeli Prime Minister
In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Media outlets are holding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to a higher standard by scandalizing her use of personal email while at the State Department, claiming the practice raises questions about her "transparency." In reality, other public officials -- including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush (R), who is attacking Clinton over the emails, and former Secretary of State Colin Powell -- have exclusively used personal email.
The New York Times accused Hillary Clinton of potentially violating federal law pertaining to the preservation of e-mail records while acting as Secretary of State, but requirements to maintain such records did not exist during her tenure.

"Love this wubba"
My pittie mixes love these wubba toys. I have pretty powerful chewers & these always seem to last a while despite how rough they are on their toys. The squeaker lasts forever & the dogs love to squeak & play tug a war.
I have a belgian malinois and a pit bull and they have been draging this thing all over the yard for about a year. They are not gentle with toys and this thing has held up so well. It does have a few little rips in the tails but over a years time it is understandable.
"Love the wubba!"
My American Bull Dog Loves her Wubba. We are on our 2nd only becuase she took the old one out side and so we keep 1 outside and 1 inside. She chewed the tails of both within a few days but that doesn't stop her from playing with it we hear her squeaking it all over the house, and in the yard. She would give it 5 paws,but due to the tails I give 4 stars!
"My dog's favorite :)"
"One of my Boston terriers lost her eyesight a year ago and finding toys that she enjoys has become a mission in our household. This is one of her favorites. She loves to shake it so the ""tails"" slap against her sides, and she loves the squeak. Our lab likes to chew the tails off so we're on our third one now. "
"Great toy!"
My dog LOVES this toy! The fabric has been extremely durable, the only down side is that my great dane did manage to puncture the squeaker after a few days, which is truly her favorite quality in a toy. She still drags it all over the house though and it is definitely her favorite.

Baseball royalty in the Commonwealth
Here in Guaynabo, the opening ceremonies for the Puerto Rico plaque tour got under way on Friday night.
On stage, Hall of Famers Tony Perez, Orlando Cepeda and Robbie Alomar were joined by Vera Clemente in a festive reception at the Museum del Deporte de Puerto Rico.
Hall of Fame plaques of the three living Puerto Rican stars, along with the plaque of Roberto Clemente, are making their way around the island this weekend.
Other baseball dignitaries in attendance on Friday included Robbie's father, Sandy, and Tony's son, Eduardo, both former major league stars, along with former big league pitcher Ed Figueroa. Former wrestler Alvin Lopez, aka Barabas, was also in attendance.
Students from the Guaynabo School for the Arts also performed traditional Puerto Rican musical entertainment.
The festivities continue with the public viewing of the plaques today here at the Museo.
On Sunday, the plaques will visit Guyama in the morning and Salinas in the afternoon. The tour concludes Monday in Ponce.
Brad Horn is the senior director of communications and education at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

The rebuild is a huge task and not everything can be done at once. Determining the rebuild schedule is a complex and important task. There is a well thought out prioritisation process in place to drive the schedule.
Many things are considered as part of the prioritisation process. Priority is being given to the worst-damaged areas that affect the highest number of people. Find out more about the work schedule by reading the frequently asked questions or reading the media release.

An extremity x-ray is an image of the hands, wrist, feet, or all of these areas. The term "extremity" often refers to a human hand or foot.
X-rays are a form of radiation that pass through the body to form an image on film. Structures that are dense (such as bone) will appear white. Air will be black, and other structures will be shades of gray.
The test is done in a hospital radiology department or in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technologist.
You will need to hold still as the x-ray is taken. You may be asked to change position, so more x-rays can be taken.
Tell the health care provider if you are pregnant. Remove all jewelry from the area being imaged.
In general, there is no discomfort. You may be slightly uncomfortable while the hand or foot is put in place for the x-ray.
Your health care provider may order this test if you have signs of a fractures , tumors, or degenerative conditions in a hand, foot, or wrist.
The x-ray shows normal structures for the age of the patient.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Other conditions for which the test may be performed:
There is low-level radiation exposure. X-rays are monitored and regulated to provide the minimum amount of radiation exposure needed to produce the image. Most experts feel that the risk is low compared with the benefits.
Pregnant women and children are more sensitive to the risks of an x-ray.

Drupal7 RDFa XMLLiteral content processing
Drupal 7 supports RDFa 1.0 as part of the core product. RDFa 1.0 is the current specification but RDFa 1.1 is to be released shortly.
RDFa 1.0 metadata can be parsed using the RDFa Distiller and Parser while the RDFa Distiller and Parser (Test Version for RDFa 1.1) can be used to extract RDFa 1.1.
Creating a simple Drupal 7 test blog and parsing out the RDFa 1.0 metadata with the RDFa Distiller and Parser shows that Drupal 7 is using the SIOC (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) ontology to describe blog posts and identifies the Drupal user as the creator of the post using the sioc:has_creator property.
<sioc:Post rdf:about="http://137breakerbay.3kbo.com/test"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://rdfs.org/sioc/types#BlogPost"/> ... <sioc:has_creator> <sioc:UserAccount rdf:about="http://137breakerbay.3kbo.com/user/2"> <foaf:name>Richard</foaf:name> </sioc:UserAccount> </sioc:has_creator> ... <content:encoded rdf:parseType="Literal">
Test Blog
 </content:encoded> </sioc:Post>
The sioc:UserAccount is a sub class of foaf:OnlineAccount.
What I would like to do is add additional RDFa metadata within the content of the blog to associate me, the Drupal 7 user with a sioc:UserAccount, to me the foaf:Person identified by my FOAF file.
Drupal 7 content is wrapped by XHTML elements containing the property="content:encoded" (shown below) and an RDFa parser treats this content as an XMLLiteral.

 ...

The problem is that RDFa 1.0 parsers don't extract metadata contained within the XMLLiteral.
This was raised in the issue "XMLLiteral content isn't processed for RDFa attributes in RDFa 1.0 – should this change in RDFa 1.1? a while back with the result that in RDFa 1.1 parsers should now also process the XMLLiteral content.
To make sure that the RDFa parsers know that I want to use RDFa 1.1 processing I need to update Drupal 7 to use the XHTML+RDFa Driver Module defined in the XHTML+RDFa 1.1 spec.
This turns out to be a simple update of one Drupal 7 file, site/modules/system/html.tpl.php.
Near the top of the file the version is changed to 1.1 (in two places) and the dtd changed to "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd".
?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-2.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php print $language->language; ?>" version="XHTML+RDFa 1.1" dir="<?php print $language->dir; ?>"<?php print $rdf_namespaces; ?>>
With these changes made I can create another blog containing the following RDFa metadata

 ...

knowing that that an RDFa 1.1 parser will create the RDF triples below which link the Drupal 7 user to me the person identified in my FOAF file.
<foaf:Person rdf:about="http://www.3kbo.com/people/richard.hancock/foaf.rdf#i"> <foaf:account> <sioc:UserAccount rdf:about="http://137breakerbay.3kbo.com/user/2"> <foaf:name>Richard</foaf:name> </sioc:UserAccount> </foaf:account> </foaf:Person>
The differences between the RDF extracted with an RDFa 1.0 parser and an RDFa 1.1 parser can be seen using the two links below.
Now that I know that the RDFa 1.1 metadata embedded in the content will be processed accordingly I can move on to the task of building 137 Breaker Bay, a simple accommodation site where the plan is to use RDFa and ontologies such as GoodRelations to describe the both the accommodation services available and the attractions and services of the surrounding area.

Espresso Bonded Leather Sophia Chairs, Set of 2
Very happy with our purchase!
These chairs are perfect for the dark color of our dinning table! Not only did they meet our expectations, but they are also very comfortable.
December 25, 2013
Excellent for the Price
We have had four Sophia espresso leather chairs for several years. They are still comfortable, still sturdy. But the leather is peeling. So we are going to replace them with four new ones. To buy these chairs with top-grain leather, as opposed to bonded leather, would cost three or four times as much. With this chair, we spread the cost over a longer period of time, and have the option to change our minds if we get tired of the style or color.
October 21, 2013
simple, elegant, comfy!
We looked for so long to find the perfect brown leather chairs. These chairs are not only affordable but look great and are quite comfortable. We are very happy with this purchase.
September 25, 2013
Not tall
I went to my local store today and sat on a Sophia chair... And sure enough, my feet were not touching the floor... BUT... I was sitting on the Sophia counter chair, not the regular chair. There is a counter, a bar and a regular chair. The regular chair was just the right height, and I am only 5'4". Just thought I would clear that up for people.
June 1, 2013
Comfortable and stylish
I love this chair. I purchased four of them to go along with LUGANO DINING TABLE AND BENCH and it looks amazing! We get lots of compliments on the chairs (and the table) and our family actually now enjoys sitting down for a meal. Totally comfortable and totally stylish. Love these chairs!
October 13, 2012
Love the chairs!
We bought a very simple looking dining table first, because I did not like the chairs that were supposed to go with the table. I love the simple and modern looking of this chair. We bought six chairs, and they make our simple dining table so much more interesting!!!!
December 3, 2011
Just what I needed
I needed two more sturdy chairs to go with my antique dining room set that I inherited from my grandmother. I had 6 original but needed two more. I also have a very large brother in law who I don't trust to sit in my old chairs. These just fit the bill. They look great mixed in with my old chairs and are very comfortable. We had a great Thanksgiving and my brother in law was comfortable and enjoyed sitting at the table and eating with us without worrying if he would break the chair. I'm amazed at how well made they were made. I did not assemble them, they were already assembled.
November 23, 2011
Great chairs!
Great with my round table. Comfortable, good size, and wipes clean!

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a bleeding disorder in which the immune system destroys platelets, which are necessary for normal blood clotting. Persons with the disease have too few platelets in the blood.
ITP is sometimes called immune thrombocytopenic purpura or simply, immune thrombocytopenia.
Immune thrombocytopenic purpura; ITP; Immune thrombocytopenia
ITP occurs when certain immune system cells produce antibodies against platelets. Platelets help your blood clot by clumping together to plug small holes in damaged blood vessels.
The antibodies attach to the platelets. The spleen destroys the platelets that carry the antibodies.
In children, the disease sometimes follows a viral infection. In adults, it is more often a chronic (long-term) disease and can occur after a viral infection, with use of certain drugs, during pregnancy, or as part of an immune disorder.
ITP affects women more often than men, and is more common in children than adults. The disease affects boys and girls equally.
ITP symptoms can include any of the following:
Laboratory tests will be done to see how well your blood clots and to check your platelet count.
A bone marrow aspiration or biopsy may also be done.
In children, the disease usually goes away without treatment. Some children may need treatment.
Adults are usually started on an anti-inflammatory steroid medicine called prednisone. In some cases, surgery to remove the spleen (splenectomy) is recommended. This increases the platelet count in about half of patients. However, other drug treatments are usually recommended instead.
If the disease does not get better with prednisone, other treatments may include:
People with ITP should not take aspirin, ibuprofen, or warfarin, because these drugs interfere with platelet function or blood clotting, and bleeding may occur.
With treatment, the chance of remission (a symptom-free period) is good. In rare cases, ITP may become a long-term condition in adults and reappear, even after a symptom-free period.
Sudden and severe loss of blood from the digestive tract may occur. Bleeding into the brain may also occur.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if severe bleeding occurs, or if other new symptoms develop.
There is no known way to prevent ITP.

English Springer Spaniel's are bred to hunt, so probably3/8/2013 4:47:15 PM
The average birth weight of the English Springer Spaniel is 250-350 grams, but it can vary depending on the size of the dam and sire, how much nutrition the dam got and how big the litter is.7/10/2014 4:41:01 PM
No, they are not prone to dry skin, but like any person, any dog can get it. A grain-free, high quality dog food can keep your dogs skin moisturized but the changing of seasons can make your dog's skin dry anyway. Using Head and Shoulder's Shampoo works wonder's for dogs with dry/itchy and even oily skin.7/10/2014 4:43:28 PM
A pup's weight all depends on the dam, how much milk the pup gets and how big the litter is. Your breeder and vet will be able to tell you if your pup is at the right weight.7/10/2014 4:44:30 PM
Springers actually have a LOT of energy. I recommend taking the poor thing to the vet(i dont think you did anything). Hopefully she doesnt have anything very serious.12/17/2012 4:40:16 PM
Yes, English Springer Spaniel's are born with a tail, a magnificent feathered tail when fully grown. Docking is unnecessary and unkind, in my opinion, it is like depriving a person of their smile.10/19/2012 6:13:06 PM

I recently read an article talking about a disease that spaniels are afflicted with whose symptoms cause an otherwise normal, healthy dog to develop rage to the point of attack. Not sure of the treatment but this disease was thought to be a form of epilepsy and was treatable. Good luck.12/28/2012 6:00:59 PM

See a vet about those hips but don't expect much. There are also remedies advertised on television. I had a great SS put to sleep due to hips just before age 14. My only consolation is that he was around the company of people he liked every day and walked and taken outside each day. DOGS ARE SOCIAL CREATURES!12/17/2011 1:37:10 AM
I have both a chow and a springer spaniel that have hip troubles. We give them shark cartilage and after about a month there was significant improvement. We also switched to a dog food called simply nourish and it put the pep back in their step. Now they prance around and even play a little. Im not saying it will make them act like puppies again but it definitely helped with their hips and gave them a little energy boost.6/15/2012 1:14:53 PM
The first thing is to find a reputable trainer who can guide you. I would start with obedience training at 4-6 months (as early as possible). Once the dog is obedient, then start with the hunting training. If possible, use the same trainer through all training. One thing to make sure you do is to be heavily involved in the training. Hunting training continues for the hunting life of the dog and you will need to continue outside of hunting season. By being involved with the initial training, you can learn how to keep the training going as the dog ages. Being involved from the beginning also associates you in your dog's mind as his/her hunting companion.1/5/2012 11:20:06 AM
You should introduce them to birds at 2-5weeks. Do this so they don't get bird shy. Some thing you could do is get pigions and show them to the puppy and then let it fly away by the puppy. Or you could get a bird wing and sort of fan it around the puppy and let it play with it.6/26/2012 3:54:58 PM
We lost our beloved 11 year old English Springer Spaniel this past February. They are the most gentle, kind, kid loving animals I have ever had the pleasure of owning! He never had an accident in the house, ever! He could go 10-12 hours without a problem. My husband ran about that distance and he was always able to keep up! We will own another someday!9/13/2011 8:46:11 PM
My wife and I are gone from 5:45 am and she is home around 3:15 pm. Once our English Springer Spaniel's are used to our time sched. puppy and up there is no problem. Our dogs are kept in outside runs when we are at work and with us inside until the next morning.They are involed in outdoor activities and can go full days running. Need not worry about over exercing.9/18/2011 6:08:19 PM

Bring your springer spaniel inside!9/10/2011 1:26:21 AM
They said it "bring the dog inside." Springers are like velcro; they love to be close to their masters and need the affection. If properly bathed and groomed, their shedding is minmal. I have 6 neutered springers ranging in age from 12+ - 9 months. They are my daily joy and you will always be rewarded.9/15/2011 11:40:01 PM
If you leave a Springer outside, you are missing out on the best part of a Springer. No matter how busy or difficult the day has been for you, a Springer will erase it all and fill the remainder of your day with contentment. 11/18/2011 7:08:12 PM
Dogs are human companions and THEY MUST STAY INSIDE!! Please keep him inside ..... so sad to leave them in the cold or heat outside ..... It's cruel!! Lilia8/13/2012 9:45:20 AM
yes could be possible to keep him out but try to avoid exterme hot or cold weather also be with him alot so he would not get destructive 1/13/2013 7:42:17 PM
Neutering is to prolong the life of the male animal. My now 12 y/o springer spaniel was neutered when he was 6 and he did great; never missed the jewelry. 9/15/2011 11:41:31 PM
Yes ES Spaniels are suitable for rainy weather as well as dry just keep old towls hany to dry the off. I believe that it is the owners not the dowgs that do not tolerate the rain. They never mind the rain and love the snow. Our Springers stay wet most of the summer due to the 2 ponds around the farm. In fact our dogs will shake on command. (humor is a must when a dogis shaking the water off his fur) Exposure to harsh temperatures/moissture should limit the amount of time exposed to these elements. Use your judgement and take care of your ESS puppy/dog. Remember, the more you rub you ESS with a big towel, the more your ESS puppy/dog loves you! 6/16/2011 11:10:09 PM
Took my Springer camping and it snowed during the night. She went exploring in the morning and took a dip in the creek....ice along the banks. Went back in for more. We freeked but she couldn't figure out why.11/18/2011 7:12:41 PM

No. That's not normal. I would have your vet check him out. At nine months old, a healthy Springer usually has enough energy to run for miles. Mine would walk five miles and still want to play fetch until my arm was worn out when we get home. Make sure he gets plenty of fresh water when he gets home from your walk (and bring water with you for him if you are going on a long walk). Watch out for heat stroke in hot weather. Dogs are more vulnerable to it han we are. You should look into clicker training (get a book or check out some videos on Youtube) and try using it to get him to heel without pulling. Springers are easy to train and love to learn new tricks. It won't take you long to have him walking without pulling if you use a clicker and treats to positively reinforce good behavior. Consistency is the key. Good luck.4/28/2011 11:51:27 AM
is it really warm where you live? My springer will run for hours if you let her when the weather is cool. Once it gets above 75 or 80 though she does exactly what you describe. She just doesn't have a real tolerance for heat. She loves the cold and playing in the snow though! 5/18/2011 9:17:42 PM
Get YOUR springer spaniel checked by a vet to see if he has a heart murmer6/12/2011 1:50:14 PM
My Springer loves any kind of water. He gets very upset if we don't let him in the pool with us. He loves to dive in after a toy and can hold his breath to dive down to get sinking toys. He's a bit too boyant to make it to the bottom of our 5'6" pool, but he can usually catch his toy before it hits the bottom. Springers are natural clowns and don't seem to mind being dressed up in floaties and goggles as long as they get to swim. Mine started swimming at about 12 weeks old. Just make sure you show your dog where to find the steps to get out of the pool so they don't get exhausted and panic. If they have a good experience the first time, they will be a water dog for life.4/28/2011 11:35:04 AM
I had a houseboat on Lake Mead. My Springer would jump off in the morning, swim out into the middle of the lake, visit the shore, and then swim around the boat until someone helped her climb the ladder. The answer is, You betchum.11/18/2011 7:18:05 PM
springer spaniels do like fresh water and they do dive6/27/2012 9:21:03 AM

We have a 3 month old male English Springer. He does the same thing. We take him outside to potty, he comes back in and potties in the house. How long does it take to potty train these dogs? 3/30/2011 8:12:50 PM
Try putting your dog in a crate as soon as you bring it in and then take it back outside to potty after about 30 minutes or longer. We have had to do this with one of our older Springer puppies. All the other Springers learned to go out just fine. But once they get in the habit of going potty as soon as you come back in they need to go directly into a crate. Most dogs will not potty in a crate. 4/3/2011 7:57:10 AM
I have a 5 month old springer spaniel male who loves to sprinkle pee here and there. Springer spaniels are hard to potty train. I have had four springers in my life time and boy is it a challenge to get them potty trained. 6/4/2011 2:50:03 PM
Our group of Springers have not been a problem to train to potty outside, I had to train myself to get on a schedule with them when I am home. We also have bells on a ribbon aka "Poochie Bells" and they know to ring their bells. Like Pavlov's dog, I need to let them out! If your dog still goes potty after you have let him out, increase th time out. Take him for a loonger walk. (Again adjust YOUR time) A dog's bowels do not keep track of your work schedule. Take time to praise your dog when they do their business outide. If they continue to use the house as a potty area, checkwith your vet to see if it is amedical problem.6/16/2011 11:18:39 PM
Springers love praise and will do just about anything to avoid "the voice". When the dog messes in the house, take the dog to place, place a hand on the back of the neck (gently but firm), have him look at the spot, and then point to the spot and say in a slow deep voice, "did you do that"....with a slight raise in volume, "did you do that" ....."NOooooo". Then comes the worst part for a Springer....put him outside. He will put 2 and 2 together quickly11/18/2011 7:26:53 PM
We have a 10yr old female Springer who has never had an accident. In fact, she will go to the door, raise her paw on the door to let us know she wants out. She will also sit in front of the door if she's feeling sick. She's the smartest and easiest train we've ever had! Love her dearly! 3/5/2012 9:15:16 PM
Yes English Springer Spaniels do . But if you brush their coat every day. that will help a lot. I have 2 and I have no problem.2/18/2011 7:50:19 AM
My ESS sheds a lot less than the Lab that I had before him. Cleaning his ears every day or two is more of a chore than dealing with the hair. 4/28/2011 11:54:06 AM
When you have 2 Jack Russells and 3 Springers, we installed a central vaccum to maintain the hair flow. I think the cat sheds more than the five dogs, butshe will never admit it. We keep a sheet over our bed spread and on our good couch. All our company are dog people and understand that a roller is a must where ever we go! 6/19/2011 12:51:29 AM
Yes, ear mites are a problem for this English Springer Spaniel breed. This is due to their floppy ear. There is medication, however, my family has had little success. 2/5/2011 2:04:22 AM
Yes , if you don't keep the English Springer Spaniel ears clean. That is why their hair cuts have 1/4 ear shave.2/18/2011 7:52:47 AM

HHS earns fourth straight 5A crown

WICHITA -- Not everything went the way Hays High School athletes wanted it to, but one thing happened that made everything OK: a fourth consecutive team title.
The Hays High boys won the Class 5A state track and field championship Saturday at Cessna Stadium in Wichita.
The Indians finished with 78 points, defeating runner-up Leavenworth by 11 points. Hays High joined three other schools (Liberal, Wichita East and Quinter) as the only schools to have won four straight team titles.
It wasn't quite the domination Hays High put together in 2012 when the boys won with 118 points.
This season, the Indians weren't at full strength. Hays High dealt with plenty of adversity, including two season-ending injuries to key members of the team as well as several nagging injuries to key members of the squad.
"I'm proud of our kids, because one slip up could have been the difference of us not winning," said Hays High coach Ryan Cornelsen. "I'm extremely proud of all of them for stepping up and doing what they were supposed to."
The senior members of this squad were freshmen when Cornelsen took the job, and since then, they never lost a varsity meet. They finished undefeated at meets in their careers.
"That's quite an accomplishment," Cornelsen said.
Sharp wins third straight shot put title, school's fourth
Senior Cade Sharp managed to defend his shot put title Saturday, winning with a personal-best heave of 57 feet, 3.5 inches.
Sharp's performances at the state meet are among some of the best in all-time Kansas history. Out of all classifications, he is just the ninth person to win three shot put titles in a prep career.
"It's my favorite event in high school," Sharp said. "I love being in the ring, and I'm going to miss the high school atmosphere and especially this meet."
Not only that, but he extended Hays High's winning streak in the shot put. Hays High has taken first in the shot put four straight years, making it the first school to ever accomplish that feat.
"I'm really happy about that," Sharp said. "I'm happy to do that for Hays High. I hope that Peyton Harris, the other Hays High thrower in the event, will continue that tradition."
However, Sharp, a four-time throwing champion, wasn't satisfied after getting off the podium Saturday.
"I'm still kind of upset," Sharp said. "I shouldn't be upset, because I PRed and got the state championship, but I'm still upset because our school record was a 58. I was shooting for that all season."
Deterding survives photo finish
Senior Adam Deterding was involved in a photo finish while attempting to defend his 110-meter hurdle championship against Liberal junior Trenton Hammond.
It was so close that when Deterding crossed the finish line, he turned around mid stride to see the video board to see if he won. Once he saw his name on the top of the list, he pumped his first three times.
"You always think you win, but whether or not you do, who knows?" Deterding said. "Anytime it's that close, I'm sure me and him both thought we had won."
Deterding won in 14.53 seconds, besting Hammond, the 300 hurdle champion, by 0.03 seconds.
"He's a hell of an athlete," Deterding said.
Deterding successfully defended both of his titles, winning the high jump Friday as well. Deterding has won the past three 110 hurdles championships as well as back-to-back high jump titles.
However, he took eighth in the triple jump with a leap of 43-10.75 and didn't make the finals of the 300 hurdles.
However, he still netted 21 points for his squad -- a team best by an individual.
"Not qualifying for the 300 finals and not doing too well in (the triple jump) kind of put a damper on it," he said.
Relay's streak ends
The 3,200-meter relay's winning streak ended Saturday. The Indians ran a season-best time of 8:00.56, but it wasn't good enough to hold off Lenexa-St. James Academy's team, who won in 7:56.37.
Hays High had won the 3,200 relay three years in a row.
"That's always been our race," said senior Ethan Fort, who anchored the relay. "We always want to win that one. That one was really important to us. It sucks our last time we couldn't pull it off. Eight points still helps out our team, so we can't be too mad."
Senior Josh Brungardt ran a fast first leg, taking the brunt of the wind as he led for about 700 meters while cranking out a 1:56.6 split. Senior Derek Drees moved his squad back into first, and sophomore Landon Munsch hung with St. James Academy's third leg but fell back into second.
Fort managed to narrow the gap on St. James Academy's anchor, senior John Scherschligt, but Scherschligt broke away with 300 meters to go and cranked out a 1:57.8 split.
"He is a really good runner, too," said Fort, who ran a 2:00.3 split. "I don't know what his split was, but it had to have been good."
Brungardt made a run at the individual title in the 800, passing Wichita-Bishop Carroll senior Gage Garcia on the final curve. However, Garcia, who won all three distance races from the 800 up, managed to overtake him in the final 40 meters when Brungardt hit a wall. Brungardt ended up taking third in 2:00.15. Fort took eighth in 2:02.22.
Sophomore Dominique Carrasco also placed, improving upon his sixth-place finish in 2012 in the 110 hurdles by taking fourth in 15.08 seconds.
Mitchell finished fifth in the 200 in 22.82 seconds, and the 1,600 relay took eighth in 3:35.56.
Zimmerman, Schlaefli medal
After enduring a rough Friday when she failed to make finals in the 400-meter run and the 1,600-meter relay and missed medaling in the triple jump, junior Wendy Zimmerman rebounded big time in the high jump.
Zimmerman took third, her highest finish at the state meet, with a personal-best leap of 5 feet, 4 inches.
"I always think if you're going to have a bad day, then you're always going to have a good day," she said. "So you've got to really think about that and always stay positive."
Zimmerman jumped 5-4 on her third attempt. Neither her nor Emporia senior Bethany Bowman cleared 5-6, but Bowman took second based on misses. Andover sophomore Jaylyn Agnew won with a leap of 5-8.
"I know my family is going to be really proud of me," Zimmerman said. "They wrote 5-4 everywhere in my house and everything, and on my car, and they are always very supportive."
Sophomore Mattison Schlaefli was the only other Hays High girl to place, and she did it twice, taking sixth in the 100 hurdles (16.30 seconds) and seventh in the 300 hurdles (48.97).
"I could have done better, but I was happy I made it on the podium in both of my events," Schlaefli said.
As a team, the Hays High girls finished 21st with 11 points.

Grunberg is a Hero Among the Heroes
Greg Grunberg is the epitome of a 21st century enthusiast.
The former co-star of NBC's "Heroes" has over 1.4 million Twitter followers, he created an iPhone application called "Yowza" and jumpstarted the website talkaboutit.org to bring awareness to epilepsy.
But on Tuesday morning, Grunberg took a step back in time when he walked into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. The 45-year-old actor was in town watching his kids play at a local baseball camp and decided to make the trip to the Museum.
"This place is just unbelievable," Grunberg said.
In typical Grunberg fashion, he broke the news that he would be coming to the Hall of Fame via Twitter on June 19.
Grunberg acted on shows such as "Heroes", "NYPD Blue" and "Lost" but even he couldn't contain his excitement when he toured the Giamatti Research Center.
Like it is with his kids, baseball was an integral part of Grunberg's childhood.
"I've always been a big baseball fan," Grunberg said. "I grew up a Dodger fan living in L.A. and my dad and I had season tickets."
Grunberg and company were taken into the archive, where they were shown a variety of preserved artifacts. When he wasn't whipping out his iPhone to snap a picture of an artifact, Grunberg learned about the Hall of Fame's efforts in the digital age.
It should come as no surprise that Grunberg took to social media to advocate a movement. Grunberg worked on a television show pilot with actress Joanna Garcia, who is married to New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher. Grunberg has since developed a friendship with the power couple.
"They are just the nicest people you'll ever meet," Grunberg said.
On Monday afternoon, Grunberg tweeted a message campaigning for all to vote his pal Swisher into the All-Star Game. Besides digital support, Grunberg met with Swisher after a Yankees game earlier in the month.
The duo was walking through the tunnel when Grunberg spotted Hall of Fame outfielder Reggie Jackson. Grunberg, who happened to be wearing Jackson's No. 44 Yankees jersey, wanted to introduce himself to the man they call, "Mr. October." Jackson initially hesitated. But once Jackson saw the jersey, Grunberg said he couldn't have been more accommodating.
"To me, anybody can be an actor," Grunberg said. "But to be an athlete on that level using God-given talent is so special. I get choked up just talking to them."
Connor O'Gara is the 2012 public relations intern in the Hall of Fame's Frank and Peggy Steele Internship Program for Youth Leadership Development

Hormonal vaginal bleeding is abnormal bleeding from the vagina that is due to changes in hormone levels.
Abnormal vaginal bleeding; Bleeding - dysfunctional uterine; Anovulatory bleeding; DUB; Abnormal uterine bleeding; Menorrhagia - dysfunctional; Polymenorrhea - dysfunctional; Metrorrhagia - dysfunctional; Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Every woman's menstrual cycle, or period, is different. On average, a woman's period occurs every 28 days. Most women have cycles between 24 and 34 days apart. It usually lasts 4 - 7 days.
Young girls may get their periods anywhere from 21 to 45 days or more apart. Women in their 40s will often notice their period occurring less often.
About every month, the levels of female hormones in a woman's body rise and fall. Estrogen and progesterone are two very important hormones. These hormones play an important role in ovulation, the time when the ovaries release an egg.
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) most commonly occurs when the ovaries do not release an egg. Changes in hormone levels cause your period to be later or earlier and sometimes heavier than normal.
Symptoms of dysfunctional uterine bleeding may include:
Other symptoms caused by changes in hormone levels may include:
A woman may feel tired or have fatigue if she is loses too much blood over time. This is a symptom of anemia .
The health care provider will do a pelvic examination and may perform a Pap smear. Tests that may be done include:
Your health care provider may recommend the following:
Young women within a few years of their first period are often not treated unless symptoms are very severe, such as heavy blood loss causing anemia .
In other women, the goal of treatment is to control the menstrual cycle. Treatment may include:
The health care provider may recommend iron supplements for women with anemia.
If you want to get pregnant, you may be given medication to stimulate ovulation.
Women with severe symptoms that do not get better with other treatments may consider the following procedures if they no longer want to have children:
Hormone therapy usually relieves symptoms. Treatment may not be needed if you do not develop anemia due to blood loss.
Call your health care provider if you have unusual vaginal bleeding.
