[Comparison of the vasomotor effects of dopamine on the renal and iliac arterial beds of the anesthetized rat].
Dopamine remains the reference in the study of the mechanisms involved in the antihypertensive effects of dopaminomimetics. Its renal vasodilator effects are well characterized but relaxation of other vascular beds is less known. The iliac vascular response to dopamine was studied in the anesthetized rat (pentobarbital) and compared to the renal response. Simultaneous measurements of arterial pressure, iliac and renal blood flows (electromagnetic flowmeter probes, Skalar, Delft) allowed iliac and renal vascular resistance (IVR, RVR) to be calculated. Their variations were studied after intravenous injections of increasing doses of dopamine (1.5 to 200 micrograms/kg) in unpretreated animals and in animals receiving various pretreatments. Without pretreatment, dopamine induced a biphasic renal response, vasodilation partially masked by subsequent vasoconstriction for doses above 12.5 micrograms/kg of dopamine. Simultaneously, IVR was increased. After alpha-adrenolytic pretreatment (prazosin 2.5 mg/kg, i.v.), dopamine decreased the RVR while iliac vasoconstriction persisted. The association of yohimbine (5 mg/kg, i.v.) to prazosin completely abolished the vasoconstrictive effects: dopamine lowered then by about 30% both IVR and RVR. Dopamine-induced iliac and renal decrease in vascular resistance persisted in the presence of a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist [+/-)-sotalol 30 mg/kg, i.v.), after depletion of catecholamines from sympathetic terminals (reserpine 10 mg/kg, i.p. 20 h before the experiment) or inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase (indomethacin 2.5 mg/kg, i.p. 20 h and 1 h before dopamine). On the contrary, a specific antagonist of dopamine receptors, (+)-butaclamol (60 micrograms/kg/min, i.v.) stereoselectivity inhibited the dopamine-induced renal vasodilation but did not modify the iliac response.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Lesson Title: Comparing Vasomotor Effects of Dopamine on Renal and Ilial Arterial Beds

Overview: In this lesson, we will learn about the vasomotor effects of dopamine on the renal and iliac arterial beds of the anesthetized rat. We will explore the differences in their responses to dopamine and understand the reasons behind these differences.

Objectives:
- Understand the mechanisms involved in the antihypertensive effects of dopaminomimetics
- Compare the renal and iliac vascular responses to dopamine
- Calculate vascular resistance and analyze the variations in blood flow and pressure

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of physiology and mathematics

Section 1: Introduction to Vasomotor Effects and Dopamine

Vasomotor effects refer to the ability of a substance to cause changes in blood vessel diameter, leading to alterations in blood flow and pressure. Dopamine is a catecholamine that has been used as a vasopressor to treat low blood pressure in clinical settings. It causes vasodilation in the renal blood vessels, which helps increase blood pressure. However, its effects on other vascular beds are not as well understood.

Section 2: Experimental Design and Results

The iliac vascular response to dopamine was studied in the anesthetized rat (pentobarbital) and compared to the renal response. Simultaneous measurements of arterial pressure, iliac and renal blood flows (electromagnetic flowmeter probes, Skalar, Delft) allowed iliac and renal vascular resistance (IVR, RVR) to be calculated. Their variations were studied after intravenous injections of increasing doses of dopamine (1.5 to 200 micrograms/kg) in unpretreated animals and in animals receiving various pretreatments.

Without pretreatment, dopamine induced a biphasic renal response, vasodilation partially masked by subsequent vasoconstriction for doses above 12.5 micrograms/kg of dopamine. Simultaneously, IVR was increased. After alpha-adrenolytic pretreatment (prazosin 2.5 mg/kg, i.v.), dopamine decreased the RVR while iliac vasoconstriction persisted.

Section 3: Analysis and Conclusion

The results of this study show that dopamine has different effects on the renal and iliac arterial beds of the anesthetized rat. While dopamine causes vasodilation in the renal blood vessels, it causes vasoconstriction in the iliac blood vessels. These differences can be explained by the presence of alpha-adrenergic receptors in the iliac blood vessels, which are blocked by prazosin, leading to vasoconstriction.

In conclusion, this study provides insights into the mechanisms involved in the antihypertensive effects of dopaminomimetics and highlights the importance of considering the vascular bed when evaluating the effects of these drugs. The results also underscore the need for further research to better understand the effects of dopamine on other vascular beds and to develop more targeted therapies for hypertension.

Statewide Collaborative to Reduce Surgical Site Infections: Results of the Hawaii Surgical Unit-Based Safety Program.
Surgical site infections (SSIs) after colorectal surgery are common, lead to patient harm, and are costly to the healthcare system. This study's purpose was to evaluate the effectiveness of the AHRQ Safety Program for Surgery in Hawaii. This pre-post cohort study involved 100% of 15 hospitals in Hawaii from January 2013 through June 2015. The intervention was a statewide implementation of the Comprehensive Unit-Based Safety Program and individualized bundles of interventions to reduce SSIs. Primary end point was colorectal SSIs. Secondary end point was safety culture measured by the AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture. The most common interventions implemented were reliable chlorhexidine wash, wipe before operation, and surgical preparation; appropriate antibiotic choice, dose, and timing; standardized post-surgical debriefing; and differentiating clean-dirty-clean with anastomosis tray and closing tray. From January 2013 (quarter 1) through June 2015 (quarter 2), the collaborative colorectal SSI rate decreased (from 12.08% to 4.63%; p < 0.01). The SSI rate exhibited a linear decrease during the 10-quarter period (p = 0.005). Safety culture increased in 10 of 12 domains: Overall Perception/Patient Safety (from 49% to 53%); Teamwork Across Units (from 49% to 54%); Management-Support Patient Safety (from 53% to 60%); Nonpunitive Response to Error (from 36% to 40%); Communication Openness (from 50% to 55%); Frequency of Events Reported (from 51% to 60%); Feedback/Communication about Error (from 52% to 59%); Organizational Learning/Continuous Improvement (from 59% to 70%); Supervisor/Manager Expectations and Actions Promoting Safety (from 58% to 64%); and Teamwork Within Units (from 68% to 75%) (all p < 0.05). Participation in the national AHRQ Safety Program for Surgery in the state of Hawaii was associated with a 61.7% decrease in colorectal SSI rate and an increase in patient safety culture.

Lesson: Introduction to GIS and Raster Data Analysis

## Section 1: Overview of GIS and Raster Data
In this lesson, we will learn about Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Raster Data Analysis. GIS is a powerful tool that allows us to analyze and visualize geographic data. Raster data is a type of data that is stored in a grid format, where each cell has a value associated with it. This type of data is commonly used in GIS to represent variables such as elevation, land use, and soil type.

## Section 2: Understanding Raster Data Analysis
Raster data analysis involves the process of analyzing and interpreting raster data to gain insights into a particular area of interest. This can be done using various techniques such as overlay analysis, spatial analysis, and statistical analysis. In this lesson, we will explore some of these techniques and learn how they can be applied to real-world scenarios.

## Section 3: Applying Raster Data Analysis Techniques
Now that we have an understanding of raster data and its analysis, let's dive into some practical examples. We will use Python and the numpy library to perform some basic raster analysis.

### Example 1: Overlay Analysis
Overlay analysis involves combining two or more raster datasets to create a new dataset that represents the intersection of the original datasets. For example, we can combine a land use map with a soil type map to identify areas where certain types of crops can be grown.

### Example 2: Spatial Analysis
Spatial analysis involves analyzing the relationships between different features within a raster dataset. For example, we can use a digital elevation model (DEM) to determine the slope gradient of a particular area.

### Example 3: Statistical Analysis
Statistical analysis involves using mathematical techniques to summarize and describe the characteristics of a raster dataset. For example, we can use a crosstabulation analysis to determine the common areas for each class from each raster dataset.

## Conclusion
In conclusion, we have learned about GIS and raster data analysis, and explored some practical examples of how this technique can be applied to real-world scenarios. By understanding the principles behind raster data analysis, we can apply these skills to new problems and gain valuable insights into our surroundings.


text: ”. Most clients’ items that we see fall somewhere close to the “15-25pcf” edge and will maybe now dispatch at class 70.. Which means transporters of these items should now consider how requesting essentials as well as bed arrangements will influence thickness and transportation costs? The number of packages to be packed for shipment on is known as “Pallet configuration”, as the update states, transporters will have to utilize class 70 for their item, which is dependent upon an alternate rate from LTL transporters than is class 60. As of now, whey protein ships as a class 60 item, regardless of its thickness. Following the renaming changes producing results, this will presently never be the situation.. Though progressions will relate to all whey transporters, the impact will differ depending on how their item is bundled. For mass providers of whey powder, the renaming won’t cause a lot of interruption and their item will then be delivered at class 70 of its thick bundling.

Lesson: Understanding Shipping Classifications and Their Impact on Transportation Costs

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about shipping classifications and their impact on transportation costs. We will cover the basics of shipping classifications, pallet configuration, and how they affect transportation costs. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the importance of shipping classifications and how they can impact your business.

Section 1: Understanding Shipping Classifications

Topic 1: What are shipping classifications?
Shipping classifications refer to the way goods are grouped based on their size, weight, and value. These classifications help transportation companies determine the best way to ship goods and calculate the cost of shipping.

Topic 2: Why are shipping classifications important?
Shipping classifications are important because they help transportation companies determine the most cost-effective way to ship goods. Different types of goods require different types of shipping methods, and shipping classifications ensure that goods are shipped safely and efficiently.

Topic 3: What are the different types of shipping classifications?
There are several types of shipping classifications, including LTL (less-than-truckload), FCL (full container load), and LCL (less-than-container load). Each type of classification has different requirements and costs associated with it.

Section 2: Pallet Configuration and Its Impact on Transportation Costs

Topic 1: What is pallet configuration?
Pallet configuration refers to the way goods are stacked on a pallet before being shipped. The configuration of goods on a pallet can affect the transportation cost, as some pallets are more expensive to ship than others.

Topic 2: How does pallet configuration affect transportation costs?
Pallet configuration affects transportation costs because different types of pallets require different types of shipping methods. For example, a pallet that is too tall or too wide may require special handling, which can increase the cost of shipping.

Topic 3: What factors should be considered when determining pallet configuration?
When determining pallet configuration, several factors should be considered, including the size and weight of the goods, the type of shipping method being used, and the cost of the pallet itself.

Section 3: Renaming Changes and Their Impact on Whey Protein Shippers

Topic 1: What are renaming changes?
Renaming changes refer to changes in the way goods are classified by transportation companies. These changes can affect the cost of shipping and the types of shipping methods that can be used.

Topic 2: How do renaming changes impact whey protein shippers?
Renaming changes can impact whey protein shippers because whey protein is typically shipped as a class 60 item, regardless of its thickness. However, with the renaming changes, whey protein will now be shipped as a class 70 item, which is dependent on a different rate from LTL transporters than is class 60.

Topic 3: What should whey protein shippers do in response to renaming changes?
Whey protein shippers should review their shipping classifications and pallet configurations to ensure that they are optimized for the new renaming changes. They should also work with their transportation providers to ensure that they are using the most cost-effective shipping methods possible.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about shipping classifications and their importance in determining the best way to ship goods. We also learned about pallet configuration and how it affects transportation costs. Finally, we explored the impact of renaming changes on whey protein shippers and how they can optimize their shipping classifications and pallet configurations in response to these changes. By understanding these concepts, we can make informed decisions about our shipping practices and ensure that we are getting the best value for our money.


text: My memory of Nixon is that he was hated every bit as much as George Bush is now, perhaps even a bit more. Nixon-hatred predated Watergate, as well, just as Bush-hatred predated the war in Iraq. The latter two events merely gave the hatred a greater focus, but the original hatred had to do with a combination of personality and policy, with the former leading the way (remember, that’s “hatred” as distinguished from mere “strong disagreement”)..

Lesson: How to Analyze Political Opinions

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to analyze political opinions by examining a passage about Nixon's presidency. We will break down the passage into sections and analyze each part to understand the author's perspective.

Section 1: Nixon's Hate
- What does the author mean when they say Nixon was "hated every bit as much as George Bush is now"?
- Why do you think people hated Nixon?
- Can you think of any modern politicians who have been hated as much as Nixon or Bush?

Section 2: Nixon-Hatred Predated Watergate
- What does the author mean when they say Nixon-hatred predated Watergate?
- What does "predated" mean in this context?
- How does knowing that Nixon-hatred predated Watergate change our understanding of the political climate during Nixon's presidency?

Section 3: Policy and Personality
- What does the author mean when they say Nixon-hatred had to do with a combination of personality and policy?
- How do personality and policy intersect in politics?
- Can you think of any other politicians whose personalities and policies have been criticized?

Conclusion:
By analyzing this passage, we can see that political opinions are often shaped by a combination of personality and policy. Understanding the motivations behind these opinions is important for engaging in productive political discourse. By applying these analytical skills to future passages, we can continue to develop our critical thinking abilities and better understand the complexities of politics.

Glossary:
- Hate: intense dislike or animosity towards someone or something
- Predate: to exist or occur before (something else) in time
- Personality: the qualities and behaviors that distinguish one person from another
- Policy: a plan or course of action adopted by a government or political party

Self-Debate Discussion:
Is it possible for a politician to separate their personality from their policies? How does a politician's personality affect their ability to implement their policies effectively?

Title: Introduction to Algebra

## Chapter 1: What is Algebra?

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of abstract symbols and their manipulation according to rules. It is used to solve problems involving quantities, such as the number of items in a set or the amount of money in a bank account. Algebra is divided into several parts, including linear equations, quadratic equations, polynomial functions, and exponential functions.

## Chapter 2: Linear Equations

Linear equations are equations that can be written in the form of ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants and x and y are variables. Linear equations can be solved by finding the value of x and y that makes the equation true. This can be done by using the method of substitution, elimination, or graphing.

## Chapter 3: Quadratic Equations

Quadratic equations are equations that can be written in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and x is a variable. Quadratic equations can be solved by finding the value of x that makes the equation true. This can be done by using the method of factoring, completing the square, or graphing.

## Chapter 4: Polynomial Functions

Polynomial functions are functions that can be written as a sum or difference of monomials, where each monomial has a constant term and a variable term raised to a power. Polynomial functions can be used to model real-world phenomena such as population growth and the behavior of physical systems.

## Chapter 5: Exponential Functions

Exponential functions are functions that can be written as f(x) = ab^x, where a, b, and x are constants. Exponential functions are used to model phenomena that grow or decay over time, such as the spread of a disease or the growth of a plant.

## Chapter 6: Applications of Algebra

Algebra is used in many fields, including physics, engineering, economics, and computer science. It is used to solve problems involving quantities, such as the number of items in a set or the amount of money in a bank account. Algebra is also used to model real-world phenomena, such as population growth and the behavior of physical systems.

Lesson: Architecture and Design Principles

Introduction:
Architecture and design are two fields that are closely related. Architecture is the process of designing and constructing buildings, while design refers to the creation of plans and specifications for buildings and other structures. In this lesson, we will learn about some key principles of architecture and design that can help us create beautiful and functional spaces.

Section 1: Form Follows Function

Form follows function is a principle of architecture and design that states that the shape or form of something should be based on its function or purpose. This means that the design of a building or object should be based on what it is meant to do, rather than just looking pretty.

Theory:
The principle of form follows function was first coined by architect Louis Sullivan in the late 19th century. He believed that the function of a building should dictate its form, and that a building should be designed specifically for its intended use.

Question:
How does the principle of form follows function apply to everyday objects?

Answer:
The principle of form follows function applies to everyday objects as well. For example, a chair should be designed to provide support and comfort to the person sitting in it, rather than just looking stylish.

Section 2: Balance and Symmetry

Balance and symmetry are principles of architecture and design that deal with the distribution of weight and mass in a building or object. A balanced design feels stable and harmonious, while an unbalanced design can feel awkward or uncomfortable.

Theory:
Balance and symmetry are important principles in architecture because they help create a sense of stability and harmony in a building. A well-balanced building feels comfortable to be in, while an unbalanced building can feel unstable and uncomfortable.

Question:
What is the difference between balance and symmetry in architecture and design?

Answer:
Balance refers to the distribution of weight and mass in a building, while symmetry refers to the mirror-image arrangement of parts. A balanced design can be symmetrical, but it doesn't have to be.

Section 3: Proportion and Scale

Proportion and scale are principles of architecture and design that deal with the size and relative sizes of different elements in a building or object. A well-proportioned design feels harmonious and pleasing to the eye, while a design with poor proportions can look awkward or uncomfortable.

Theory:
Proportion and scale are important principles in architecture because they help create a sense of harmony and balance in a building. A well-proportioned building feels comfortable to be in, while a building with poor proportions can feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Question:
What is the difference between proportion and scale in architecture and design?

Answer:
Proportion refers to the relative sizes of different elements in a design, while scale refers to the overall size of a building or object. A well-proportioned design can have good scale, but it doesn't have to.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about three key principles of architecture and design: form follows function, balance and symmetry, and proportion and scale. By understanding these principles, we can create buildings and objects that are both functional and beautiful. We can apply these principles to everything from everyday objects to grand architecture.

Lesson: Understanding Time Management in eTime

### Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about time management in eTime. We will cover what eTime is, how it works, and why it is important. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the basics of time management and use eTime effectively to manage your time.

### Section 2: What is eTime?
eTime is a web-based application that allows users to track their work hours and submit them for approval. It is used by organizations to manage their employees' time and attendance. eTime helps to ensure that employees are working the correct number of hours and that they are being paid accurately.

### Section 3: How does eTime work?
When an employee starts work, they clock in using eTime. This records their start time and location. When they finish work, they clock out, and eTime records their end time and location. The system then calculates the total time worked and sends the data to the approver for review. The approver can either approve the time or request changes. Once approved, the time is sent to payroll for processing.

### Section 4: Why is time management important?
Time management is important because it ensures that employees are working the correct number of hours and that they are being paid accurately. It also helps to prevent time theft, where employees claim to have worked more hours than they actually did. This can result in overpayments, which can cost the organization money.

### Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, time management is an essential part of any organization's operations. eTime is a useful tool that helps to manage time effectively and accurately. By understanding how eTime works and why it is important, you can use it to manage your time effectively and ensure that you are working the correct number of hours.

Lesson: Introduction to Poker

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Poker is a card game played by millions of people worldwide. It is a game of skill, strategy, and psychology. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic rules of poker, the different types of poker games, and the importance of position and table selection.

**Q: What is poker?**
A: Poker is a card game where players bet or raise money against each other according to the rank of their cards.

**Q: What are the different types of poker games?**
A: There are several types of poker games, including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud, and Five Card Draw.

**Q: What is position in poker?**
A: Position refers to the seat at the poker table where a player is sitting. It is important because it determines when a player can act in a hand.

**Q: Why is table selection important?**
A: Table selection is important because it determines the quality of opponents you will face. Playing at a table with weak opponents increases your chances of winning.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider a hypothetical Texas Hold'em poker game. There are two players at the table: Player A and Player B. The blinds are $1 and $2. Player A is dealt Q-10 of hearts while Player B is dealt A-K of diamonds. The flop comes 8-6-4 with two diamonds.

**Q: What is Player A's best move?**
A: Player A should fold because they have a weak hand (Q-10) and are facing an aggressive player (Player B) with a strong hand (A-K).

**Q: What is Player B's best move?**
A: Player B should bet because they have a strong hand (A-K) and want to force weaker hands like Player A's to fold.

**Q: What happens if Player A calls?**
A: If Player A calls, the game moves to the turn card. Player A may have a chance to win if the turn card gives them a straight draw or a flush draw.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Let's consider a real-world scenario where a player wins a large pot in a poker tournament.

**Q: Was the win due to luck or skill?**
A: It could be both. The player might have gotten lucky with the cards they were dealt, but they also had to use their skill to read their opponents and make the right decisions.

**Q: Should the player continue playing in the tournament?**
A: It depends on the player's bankroll and their goal in the tournament. If they have a large stack, they can continue playing aggressively. If they have a small stack, they should play more conservatively and focus on surviving until the later stages of the tournament.

## Glossary
- Poker: A card game where players bet or raise money against each other according to the rank of their cards.
- Position: The seat at the poker table where a player is sitting.
- Table selection: The process of choosing which poker table to play at based on the quality of opponents.

Lesson: How to Use Pipe Fittings

Introduction:
Pipe fittings are essential components used in plumbing systems to connect pipes and regulate the flow of fluids. They come in different shapes, sizes, and materials, each designed for specific applications. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of pipe fittings, how they work, and when to use them.

Section 1: Types of Pipe Fittings
There are several types of pipe fittings, including elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, and caps. Each type serves a specific purpose in the plumbing system.

1. Elbows: Elbows are used to change the direction of a pipe. They are available in different angles, such as 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees.

2. Tees: Tees are used to connect three pipes. They have a common outlet and two inlets.

3. Reducers: Reducers are used to reduce the diameter of a pipe. They are available in different reducing ratios, such as 1/2" to 3/4".

4. Couplings: Couplings are used to join two pipes end-to-end. They can be threaded or compression-type.

5. Caps: Caps are used to close the end of a pipe.

Section 2: How Pipe Fittings Work
Pipe fittings work by connecting pipes together and directing the flow of fluids. They are usually made of metal, such as brass or steel, and are designed to withstand pressure and temperature changes.

1. Elbows: Elbows direct the flow of fluid by changing the direction of the pipe. They are available in different angles to suit specific applications.

2. Tees: Tees distribute fluid evenly to three pipes. They are commonly used in applications where fluid needs to be divided into three separate streams.

3. Reducers: Reducers reduce the diameter of a pipe while maintaining the same flow rate. They are commonly used in applications where pipes of different diameters need to be connected.

4. Couplings: Couplings join two pipes together securely. They can be tightened or screwed onto the pipes to create a seal.

5. Caps: Caps seal the end of a pipe, preventing any fluid from leaking out.

Section 3: When to Use Pipe Fittings
Pipe fittings should be used when connecting pipes together in a plumbing system. They are essential for directing the flow of fluids and regulating pressure and temperature changes.

1. Elbows: Elbows should be used whenever a change in direction is required in a plumbing system.

2. Tees: Tees should be used whenever fluid needs to be distributed evenly to three separate pipes.

3. Reducers: Reducers should be used whenever pipes of different diameters need to be connected.

4. Couplings: Couplings should be used whenever two pipes need to be joined together securely.

5. Caps: Caps should be used whenever the end of a pipe needs to be sealed to prevent fluid leakage.

Conclusion:
Pipe fittings are essential components in plumbing systems. They come in different types, such as elbows, tees, reducers, couplings, and caps. Each type serves a specific purpose in the plumbing system. By understanding the different types of pipe fittings and their functions, we can effectively use them to connect pipes and regulate the flow of fluids.

Topic: Attic removal question (Read 413 times)

Home owner called me today and said a swarm moved in 2 months ago. Said they are exposed in his attic. I will try to post some pictures later that he sent me of the swarm. Looks to be about the size of a basketball, and he agreed when I asked about it. My question is, how much comb do you think these guys built in the 2 months they have been there? He said he likes the fact that they are there, and really doesn't want them removed, but the AC guy went up there and got lit up, so he said they unfortunately have to go. Haha. Seems like a real good guy on the phone. I'm going to take a look Saturday.

Thanks psparr. I'm am trying to attach a picture to this comment. This is the day they moved in. A little over 2 months ago. My plan is to not use smoke if I can avoid it, carefully remove comb, place it into my hive with rubber bands, and hopefully spot and cage the Queen. Then place the hive at the entrance to hopefully catch any stragglers. After dark I'm going to plug the hive and take them home. How's that sound? I've done a couple this way and it worked out good.

Thanks Jim. The reason I don't want to use smoke is because it's inside these folks super nice house. They may not like it as well. I'd have to light the smoker, and carry it through there house and up into there attic area. I'll have a better idea of what I'm looking at in the morning. I shouldn't have said the ac man got "lit up" they said he got it twice. But he was also up there banging around with a flashlight. I've got a good sized hive here in my yard that is just super calm and a pleasure to work with. But one night I went down there with a flashlight and they let me know just how much they don't like to be bothered after dark

May not be a bad idea ace. I like to joke with people just to see what kind of reaction I'll get out of someone. It gets me in trouble sometimes but oh well. I've never met these people, the first time he called me, after we talked about how to get them out he asked "what's this gonna cost me,?" I said "well it's 100 for me to come out, and then 50$ per sting, and being that it's in the hot attic I'll probably be in shorts with no shirt"...... His reply was "oh my God! You are CRAZY! it may be more than I can afford" ....haha. good sport.

I ended up not doing it. Home owner said someone he knew was getting into bees and wanted to give it a go. But I did do another one that was a big head ache. It was in a bathroom wall of a house that was built in 1835. The homeowners we're super nice people, and very interested to hear the little bit that I know about bees.

Lesson Title: Beekeeping 101: Removing Bees from an Attic

Introduction:
Beekeeping is an interesting and rewarding hobby that involves taking care of bees and harvesting their honey. However, sometimes bees can end up in places where they are not supposed to be, such as an attic. In this lesson, we will learn how to remove bees from an attic without harming them or causing damage to the property.

Section 1: Understanding Behavior of Bees

Topic 1: Why do bees swarm?
Bees swarm when their colony becomes too large for the available space in their hive. When this happens, the queen bee lays more eggs, and the colony becomes crowded. The bees then send out scout bees to find a new location for the colony.

Topic 2: What happens when bees swarm?
When bees swarm, they release pheromones that attract other bees to follow them. This is why you may see a cloud of bees flying around. Once they find a new location, they will start building new comb and raising new brood.

Section 2: Preparing for Bee Removal

Topic 1: Safety gear
Before removing bees from an attic, you need to wear safety gear such as a bee suit, gloves, and a veil. This is to protect yourself from being stung by the bees.

Topic 2: Tools needed
You will need a bee brush, a smoker, a hive tool, and a container to capture the bees. A bee brush is used to gently push bees off of combs, while a smoker is used to calm the bees down. A hive tool is used to pry apart the comb, and a container is needed to capture the bees and move them to a new location.

Section 3: Removing Bees from an Attic

Topic 1: Inspecting the attic
Before removing the bees, you need to inspect the attic to determine the best way to access the bees. You may need to remove insulation or use a ladder to reach the bees.

Topic 2: Calming the bees down
Once you have accessed the bees, you need to calm them down using a smoker. Fill the smoker with wood chips, light them on fire, and let the smoke billow out. The smoke will calm the bees down, making them easier to work with.

Topic 3: Removing the comb
Using a hive tool, carefully pry apart the comb and remove it from the attic. Be sure to place the comb into a container so that the bees do not escape.

Topic 4: Catching the Queen
As you remove the comb, keep an eye out for the queen bee. She is usually larger than the other bees and has a long abdomen. If you catch her, place her into a container with the other bees.

Section 4: Conclusion
Removing bees from an attic can be a challenging task, but with the right preparation and knowledge, it can be done safely and effectively. By understanding bee behavior and following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can successfully remove bees from an attic without causing harm to them or damaging the property.

text: , March 10, 2015. Sweet Potatoes Stuffed with Eggs. I saved this recipe back in November and didn't think about it again until this past weekend when I was trying to make up for lost time with "nueva recetas". I made this for breakfast on Saturday, and then forgot to write a post about it, even when I was writing posts for Sunday's breakfast and dinner. There are a lot of things I like about being fifty. My faulty memory isn't one of them. Anyway, this was easy to make. We didn't have bacon, so I made a vegetarian version. I baked the sweet potato in the microwave first, it didn't take long (perhaps 5-6 minutes) to become soft enough to slice in half and scoop out the middle. I cracked an egg into each opening, topped with shredded mozzarella, and baked at 350 for 20 minutes. I also put it under the broiler for a few minutes after. We topped these with garlic salt, and fresh basil.. Posted by YearofBooks at 5:47 AM. Labels: breakfast, eggs, vegetarian

text: I haven't been very chatty with you lately, so I thought I'd share with you where my time has been going. We have been working on an update of a home in Bellaire, built in the 90's - when polished brass fixtures were king. As part of the update, we were updating the carpet throughout, updating the paint on the second and third floors, doing near complete change out of door hardware and plumbing hardware, updating of the master bath and the powder bath.. One of our new tools this year has been a 3D modeling software, that we have been using to help show our clients how the end product may appear. For this project, it was extremely helpful as we were able to play with modifications to the master tub surround and the floor in the master bath. We will be wrapping up the project this week and should be able to share the after photos soon. But for now, you can see the before pictures and the final version of the 3D model.. Stay tuned to find out how it looks!
