Listening to God's Voice
The Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by." Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
-1 Kings 19:11-13 (NIV), emphasis added
The still, small voice. That is where God is found. And just like Elijah, we must learn to hear His voice. I am on this journey myself. A powerful wind blows, an earthquake shakes, a fire roars around me. I hear these voices pulling in many directions, sometimes I ignore the voices and sometimes I foolishly follow. Hearing God's voice is a struggle for me, but when I do hear it and then follow, it is rewarding.
Hearing God's voice is a struggle for me, but when I do hear it and then follow, it is rewarding. Click To Tweet
I was at work the other day talking with a fellow Christian co-worker. We were both having a rough day and mutually agreed to pray for one another. I won't lie, those simples words, "I will be praying for you" made my day infinitely better. As I was walking away to get back to work, a thought popped into my head: ask her to start a bible study with you. I almost didn't listen to the voice. I thought better of it and turned around to ask. Her eyes lit up, then she began to tear up. The joy coming from her was palpable. She needed this, and honestly, I needed it too.
Before we even had our first study, the group grew to four people. I can feel God moving in this already and I am excited to be apart of it.
I can't tell you how to hear God's voice in your life, only that, as His sheep, we need to learn His voice. There are signs of knowing whether it is His voice or not, but these are not always evident in the voices we hear.
- God won't ask you to sin or to do something that will require you to sin.
- Whatever God asks you to do will glorify Him, not man.
- When God asks us to do something, it will be to further His Kingdom.
Start to pray that you will hear His voice, that God would open your ears to hear Him above the noise. And then have the faith to know that He will do what you have asked.
Here you can create the content that will be used within the module.

God has a path that is going to lead to complete devotion and love and while sometimes it's tricky and it feels like you may be fighting an uphill fight, it's so with it when you are standing in His Glory.

I have a really hard time with distinguishing His voice. I like how you described the earthquake, fire, etc… as distractions. I think my earthquakes and fires are my own will – which I need to quiet in order to hear Him.

it's soooo true that whatever God asks you to do it WILL glorify Him. thanks for this wonderful reminder!

How wonderful! I believe those sweet little moments are candy kisses from God. And now you have a Bible study friend, at work none-the-less! Awesome!

I struggle with hearing God's voice too wondering if I'm on the path he wants me on. thanks for the post!

Great post. A lot of times, it's tricky distinguishing God's voice from ours especially when it concerns something we have a vested interest in. The devil also cleverly disguises His voice sometimes to make it sound like God's. For example, He may suggest to a believer to do something spiritual, like start a ministry. Actually, he pushes, not just suggests, and can manipulate others to bring "confirmation". But if we refuse to be rash and constantly ask God to purge our hearts, we'll overcome. In the example of a ministry, God may really want us to run a ministry but the devil may want to rush us into the wrong ministry or hurry us into starting something prematurely.

I have avid experience of using Social Media as a researcher and an academic (see articles below), and I am the proud writer of the 10 ways researchers can use Twitter article on the Networked Researcher website, which receives around 1000 hits per month. I have also prepared a Twitter training workshop for PhD students at the University of Warwick which will run in March 2012. If you would like to me to run a workshop on Social Media/Twitter for researchers/academics, please contact me.
Articles written by me related to Social Media for researchers:
I'm an academic and desperately need an online presence, where do I start?
My post over at the LSE Impact Blog discusses simple, practical tips for academics who want to start engaging with the wider world through social media. Check it out here:
A copy of the post is pasted below:
Salma Patel has been on a whistle-stop tour of academic social media channels. Here she shares her simple, practical tips for academics who want to start engaging with the wider world through social media.
I'm an academic and desperately need an online presence because I want to start engaging with the public and disseminate my research online – where do I start?
1. LinkedIn: Create a LinkedIn profile. This is really easy to do and doesn't require you to talk to anyone.
- Register an account and fill in your details.
- LinkedIn allows you to search through your mail to find any if your contacts on LinkedIn. Connect to all those that come up.
2. Academia: Create an academia.edu profile. This again is very straight forward to do, and doesn't require any specialist skills.
3. Twitter: Once you've created a LinkedIn and Academia.edu profile, let's move to Twitter. Twitter will require more work, patience and a sense of humour. You can start off by either attending a twitter workshop/social network surgery, asking a friend/colleague to quickly show you how twitter works or you can read this LSE guide to twitter.
- Create a twitter account using your real name.
- Twitter will ask you to place a very short profile of yourself. You can either keep it really simple [Job Title at Uni of X] or make it more quirky. Don't worry too much about this at this stage (you can change it later), but what will really help is to have a nosey around other academics on twitter.
- Start following people on twitter. Again you can find followers using your email address. Another really good way to find followers is to find someone on twitter who has very similar academic interests to you. Now look through who that person is following, and follow those people.
- Once you start following people, they are normally alerted and they may start following you back if your profile looks interesting to them (so make it interesting). Also place a few interesting tweets out before you start following people that don't know you personally.
- The key to getting followers on twitter is to Engage! Start talking to people, if you see a tweet of interest reply to it. If you see a conversation going in between two people, butt in and join in (as far as I know it isn't rude in the twitter world to do that). When you are starting off this may be difficult to do, but it is not difficult to help people. If someone asks something, take those extra few minutes out from your busy schedule and help them. Trust me, you will see a return.
- Another really quick way to get followers is to take part in twitter chats (twitter chat schedule). There may not be twitter chats in your area of research (not to worry, you can always consider starting off your own chat in the future), but you can always take part in #phdchat which runs every Wednesday evening at 7pm
- What shall I tweet about? Have a look at this prezi or article which looks at 1o ways researchers use twitter. Then have a look at what other academics are tweeting about on twitter, and if you are really stuck put your name down for this online webcast.
4. Blogging: Once you have familiarised yourself with Twitter and have plenty more to talk about, you can think about blogging. With blogging there are a few practical things to consider:
1. Blog name: The name of the blog depends on what you plan to blog about. If you plan to blog about a specific area, then you could keep your blog's name related to that. If you plan to blog about a multitude of themes, you could have a made up name or you could name your blog/website by your own name, and as well placing your profile on there, you could place your blog on there too. I have seen academics do both.
Please note: If you have a very common name, and really want to be at the top of Google ranking (number one) when someone searchers your name, you may want to consider keeping your blog name your own name. If you have name that isn't as common and you blog regularly on a theme based blog, you may still come at the top of Google when searched by your name.
2. Where do I blog? You could blog on an already existing blog (such as at your university or a research group) or you could start your own blog.
For your own blog, if you want to set it up yourself then you have two options. You can blog on wordpress/blogspot or any other blog provider (maybe even an internal university blog provider). For WordPress (the most popular), register an account on wordpress.com and start blogging. Your blog website will be: [name selected].wordpress.com
The disadvantage of using this is there is a limit to how far you can customize and there are also a limited amount of themes you can use. If you have some time I would recommend using wordpress to power your own website, and very simply this is how you would do it:
- Purchase your own website name and hosting. This will cost between £10-£20 a year if you have a good look around. You can check here whether the domain name you are thinking of is available here. After you have found your domain name purchase your domain name and hosting from a hosting provider, but please ensure they support wordpress as it will make your life easier.
- Install wordpress on your website.
- Find a wordpress theme that you like. You can either buy one or find a free one. Use Google to find one.
- Setup an about page for your own profile and meanwhile have a good look around other academic's blog/websites.
- Once it is all setup start blogging and spreading your posts through Twitter and LinkedIn!
5. Other Engagement Tools
There are other platforms you can use to help you engage, such as curation tools. I would recommend you start using them once you have at least 1-3 setup. To quote from a recently published article on this blog:
Curation and sharing of content
Curation and sharing platforms such as Delicious, SlideShare, Pinterest, Scoop.it, Pearltrees, Bundlr, Paper.li and Storify, as well as referencing tools such as Mendeley, Citeulike and Zotero, allow academics to easily gather and present information and, importantly, to then make the information public and share it with others online. On SlideShare you can share your Powerpoint presentations and the referencing tools allow you to gather lists of references on specific topics and then share these with others. Several of these tools, including Pinterest, Bundlr and Storify, allow you to insert your own comments or analysis on the material you have gathered.
Don't be afraid to try out new platforms and ditch them if they don't work for you.
6. A few other specific things you could do to get a stronger online presence and get some followers.
1. Contribute to an existing blog in your field. An example is this Impact of Social Sciences Blog, The Guardian Higher Education Network, or if those seem too time consuming or you feel you can't contribute much to those areas, you can write your quick viva story for PhD Viva and other such websites.
2. Take part in #phdchat. You'll definitely get some followers and plus as a supervisor/academic/ex-PhD student, PhD students will really appreciate your presence, advice and contribution.
3. Contribute as a panelist to the Guardian Higher Education Live Chats (they normally run on a Friday afternoon). They normally recruit through their twitter account or drop them an email.

Prezi: 10 ways researchers can use Twitter
This prezi is related to my article '10 ways researchers can use Twitter' on Networked Researcher. A copy of the post is below:
Today Salma Patel considers 10 ways that researchers could use the micro-blogging tool twitter. Salma is a doctoral researcher at the University of Warwick with a primary research interest in digital engagement and participation in healthcare. She has a background in computing, web design, education, librarianship and management. She blogs at http://salmapatel.co.ukand you can follow her on twitter @salma_patel.
The purpose of networked researcher is to introduce, promote and support the use of social media and digital technology in research and researcher development. As such todays post is available on prezi here and storify here.
1. Join the research community: There is a large research community on twitter. For example:
#phdchat is one such example of a doctoral research community, where tweeps (people that use Twitter) share experiences of their PhD and advise fellow researchers. #phdchat also runs a live chat on twitter which runs on a Wednesday evening at 7.30pm BST.
#twitjc is a Twitter Journal Club which provides a place where doctors, researchers, authors and medical students can discuss publications relevant to clinical medicine. It runs at 8pm every Sunday and has so far it has attracted 950 followers.
2. Share your research and publications: Using Twitter you can share your research or disseminate your findings. It is also an effective way to share your publications or conference papers/posters. If you are looking for citations and hits to your article, it is a good way to achieve this.
3. Interact with the 'outside world': It is an easy way to keep up with the outside world, whether that is fellow colleagues, researchers from other universities, companies in your industry or even conferences. You will be updated about conference dates and submission deadlines.
4. Get answers to your research related questions: On twitter there are many helpful people who will answer your questions, whether they are research related questions, questions related to your study, or questions related to your own interests.
5. Network: Twitter is a useful networking tool, using which you can meet people who follow similar interests to you. As a researcher interested in healthcare and technology, I have 'met' many people from the healthcare industry and also many doctoral researchers. You can also use twitter to recruit participants for any of your studies.
6. Share your experiences: It is a good idea to share your experiences, whether they are research related or otherwise. Once you share your experience (whether positive or negative) you will soon find others who are experiencing the same, if not similar experience, and you can have a good 'ole banter together; but more importantly, learn from each other too.
7. Keep tabs on your competition: Who is doing what and when? This will give you a good idea of what is going on in your field. You could fade in the background and just keep tabs on everyone else.
8. Collaborate: Have you got an idea but unsure whether it will work? Or are you thinking of using a research methodology but unsure whether it is appropriate? Send out a tweet with an appropriate hashtag (such as #phdchat for research issues) and before you know it, they'll be others giving you (free) advice!
9. Keep up-to-date with your research: Follow people who have similar interests to you and you will be updated with all the research in your area (again for free!). No need to worry about missing out now.
10. Follow conferences you can't attend: Use Twitter is to follow conferences that you can't attend. People attending a certain conference usually tweet using the conferences #hashtag. As long as you know the #hashtag, you can read the entire on goings and sometimes even pose questions to the presenters through other twitter users at the conference. Interact without paying the conference fee!
Can you think of other ways twitter could be used by researchers?

"DOCSS" And "DOCSSITE" For Document Management Software Not Confusingly Similar, Says TTAB
Despite the near identity of the involved computer software, the Board reversed a Section 2(d) refusal to register the mark DOCSS in the stylized form shown below, finding it not likely to cause confusion with the registered mark DOCSSITE. In re Adept Data Technologies, Inc., Serial No. 78110053 (June 21, 2005) [not citable].
The Examining Attorney contended that the goods are legally identical, that the marks are confusingly similar because they both combine the word "doc" with a "double-S," and that any doubt should be resolved in favor of the prior registrant.
Applicant Adept relied on a computer dictionary definition of "docs" as short for "documents," numerous third-party registrations for marks containing the designation "doc" or "docs," Google results, and website printouts. Adept also submitted a declaration of its president attesting to the care with which its goods are purchased.
The third-party registrations and dictionary evidence convinced the Board that the term "doc" or "docs" is "quite weak" when used in connection with document management software. The Board recognized that the two marks at issue were "the only marks of record which employ a 'double-S' feature in connection with 'doc,'" but it found that "this point of similarity is an insufficient basis to support a conclusion that confusion is likely." As to the connotations of the marks, the Board found that the cited mark "connotes a 'documents site,'" but applicant's mark does not. And it found that purchasers "are not likely to purchase these goods on impulse but instead may reflect on their decision [sic] to purchase."
The Board concluded that "applicant's mark and registrant's mark are simply too dissimilar to support a likelihood of confusion finding."
TTABlog aside: Okay, so this isn't the most scintillating decision the Board has ever issued. The TTABlogger doesn't promise excitement every day. At least not on the blog.

The Advanced Study of Khmer (ASK) Program is an intensive six-week advanced Khmer language-training program held in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It aims to fill in a void in the academic community by providing 3rd year level students a one-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire the linguistic foundation necessary to engage in academic research, professional discourse, and cultural interaction with all segments of Cambodian society.
This immersion program focuses on advanced-level language acquisition and consists of a structured academic program of four hours of task-based language instruction every morning and to two to three hours of field trip activities in the afternoons and weekends as a group or as individual work. This ASK course is equivalent to two semesters of study. Instruction is given in small-individualized groups taught by in-country Khmer linguists in Phnom Penh. They have extensive experience in teaching Khmer as a foreign language.
The six-week program will be capped by a written and oral presentation of each participant's mini research project. Participants are encouraged to select their own topic at the beginning of the program. This experience not only adds immeasurably to their language competence, it develops greater awareness and sensitivity about another culture, and possibly of their own. In language study, immersion is fluency's best guarantee. The language immersion provided by this program is only possible in an in-country setting.

) There are a few paths to that purpose. Some bots to wash every little thing in a single pass with solid suction and aggressive brushes; others make many passes with weaker cleansing. We believe both strategy is legitimate, and benefits are what matter.
Mapping engineering is typically a mix in between components and software. The hardware used to map the area is commonly the same as that and that is utilized for item avoidance. Joined with software program that results in a digital map of every home, the robot vacuum will bear in mind the home's layout and produce regular cleansing designs.
The Botvac D80 is usually a good selection that fees a little less and comes along with specialty brushes, but doesn't connect with Wi-Fi, and has a shorter battery everyday living. The flagship Botvac Linked has a longer battery life and rather more robust suction compared to D5, nevertheless it charges around the Roomba 960 (a better bot, for those who're prepared to invest that A great deal). The Botvac D3 Connected is easily the most cost-effective Neato, but it surely has no facet brush, so it remaining plenty of debris along baseboards within our testing. That's a true and discouraging weak spot.
Battery trustworthiness is usually a routinely mentioned complaint on consumer assessment Internet sites. Battery replacements from iRobot Price an important fraction of the purchase price of a new Roomba, though compatible third-occasion batteries can be obtained in a lower cost.
We're not comfortable recommending a product Which may be challenging to Trade or repair. If anyone begins to distribute it from the US, we'll take into account considering it, but for now We've got no viewpoint on this bot.
We estimate which the N79 can manage nearly one,two hundred sq. ft pretty reliably. Beyond that, you'll need to vacation resort to tactics like shutting the doorways to sure rooms to aim the cleansing region (it does not include virtual obstacles, not like most midrange or substantial-close bots), or starting up it in a special home every single day. That's still extra space compared to the Roomba 690 and its shorter battery lifetime can easily manage.
Utilizing the accompanying handheld remote control, you could set a number of preprogrammed cleansing configurations, change them in the middle of a vacuuming cycle or acquire Regulate for spot cleaning you. The Roomba 880 also includes two units identified as Lighthouses which you could place close to your own home website to assist tutorial the vacuum or reduce it from accessing specific spots.
The Roomba 650 also bonked into partitions and home furnishings harder than our principal pick (or any robot vacuum we've tested, really), and we count on the Roomba 690 to get very similar. For many people, this received't make a difference, even though it could at times go away smudges alongside baseboards and on mild-colored furniture.
Most homeowners discover to simply accept these quirks, make modest adjustments to adapt to them, or simply don't observe them in any respect.
The EcoVacs Deebot N79 arrives aside easily for cleaning. We've operate the Deebot N79 and functionally equivalent Eufy Robovac 11 more than forty periods, and in whole they've only gotten trapped mid-cycle several situations. It's normally been on a stray USB cable or sock, that are simple to pick up, as opposed to the thresholds and rug fringes that excursion up a great deal of other bots and so are more difficult to maneuver.
Amongst the principal offering details for your Roomba was its power to return to its base By itself. This function on your own is exactly what aided make the robot vacuum a scorching-ticket merchandise. Now, This is often a standard for robot vacuums. Types that don't involve this feature commonly is not going to sell, forever cause. The auto-return attribute with a robot vacuum is usually accomplished via a radio frequency signal.
The Neato Botvac Linked D7 is going to be introduced in slide 2017. One of the most promising attribute is the new mapping capacity. The D7 can recall your ground approach following a cycle finishes (most other bots start off from scratch at first of each cycle), and you also'll be capable of set no-go locations through the smartphone application.
The size and the shape of a robot vacuum may have a substantial influence on how properly that robot can clear. There are many variables to take into account when choosing a robot vacuum depending on its sizing and shape.
(Whenever we scaled back the frequency of cleaning classes, the Robovac eleven began coming back with whole bins all over again.)

Woah, BIGSOUND Live kicks off in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley tonight. Tonight, I say! If you haven't got your tickets as yet... double-ewe tee eff are you waiting for? It's the biggest and best showcase of live Australian music for several reasons. 1) The bands/singers are awesome. 2) You don't have to stand out in the stinking sun all day and/or have some sweaty, overweight man without a shirt on shimmying all over you in a dance tent. There was nowhere to move and you ruined The Presets for me, you sweaty bastard. 3) Drinks are affordable and if you're at a venue like the Black Bear Lodge, they are amazing. 4) It costs about $70 for two nights of bands/singers and if you return to point 1, you'll see that they are awesome.
It's been a long, long time since we've busted out a '10 and 1', but the concept returns for a special BIGSOUND Live feature that will help those in need of some program guidance. Having trouble figuring out to see because there's just too many awesome acts taking over the Valley? Well, here's ten you really need to do yourselves a favour and see. As is required, we'll discuss the one act you can give a miss. But if you've been around these parts for awhile, you'll have figured out already that it will be a cop out answer because every act is worth seeing at BIGSOUND this year! So... who should you see?
Wednesday, September 11
Mama Kin
8:00 - 8:30pm, Bakery Lane
Mama Kin brings her care of Freemantle indie-soul sound to Brisbane and I can't think of a better way to start your BIGSOUND Live experience. You can prepare yourself for Danielle Caruana's gorgeous vocals by checking out Mama Kin's new album, The Magician's Daughter.
Cub Sport
8:50 - 9:20pm, Channel [V] Stage @ Coniston Lane
Tkay Maidza
9:10 - 9:40pm, triple J Unearthed Stage @ Oh Hello
Look, I hate Oh Hello as much as the next person that isn't a wanker, but if there's one act that's going to make me venture into that pit of despair, it's Adelaide rapper, Tkay Maidza. Have you heard 'Handle My Ego'? It is nice. It is very nice. This set should be the BIGSOUND rap/hip-hop highlight of the entire event.
10:30 - 11:00pm, The Zoo
Australia doesn't have too many bonafide rock icons still standing, but Adalita Srsen is one of them. With a new album, Venus (out September 20) to preview at The Zoo, Adalita will do what she always does; deliver a standout rock performance. Not only should you and I go to this, every rock act that's free should make their way to see this showcase. They might learn a thing or two.
Gay Paris
11:40 - 12:10, Alhambra Lounge
Because if I don't say Gay Paris... Katie will go all Liam Neeson and hunt me down.
Thursday, September 12
8:20 - 8:50pm, Black Bear Lodge
Gossling is on top of the world right now, with the phenomenal response to new track 'Never Expire'. You can hear that brilliant track live with some other new songs from the anticipated album Harvest of Gold which is out November 1. And she's performing at the Black Bear Lodge which is just the best.
Grizzly Jim Lawrie
8:20 - 8:50pm, Press Club
Jim Lawrie will take the stage at the Press Club with his band and promises a night of "good songs played by good people." I think that's a pretty big understatement. If the songs are like 'Midnight Run' they'll likely be fantastic and Jim Lawrie seems pretty rad, so maybe it should be 'fantastic songs played by rad people'.
Thelma Plum
10:00 - 10:30, Black Bear Lodge
Oh, Thelma Plum. Her 2013 EP, Rosie, is easily one of the greatest pieces of work you'll hear this year. Listening to the songs performed live will be even better. Singalong to 'Around Here' and 'Dollar' and be blown away by 'Breathe In, Breathe Out'. Maybe we'll even get to hear some tracks off her reported upcoming EP too!
Ginger and The Ghost
10:50 - 11:20pm, Electric Playground
There is something about Ginger and The Ghost I find incredibly intriguing. Their focus is on visual elements as much as it is on creating catchy, quirky tunes that you can't help falling in love with. Ginger and Ghost (that's their names, right?) must have something big planned for their showcase. You won't want to miss it.
Jeremy Neale
11:40pm - 12:10am, Black Bear Lodge
Is there a better way to close out night two? Nay. Hang out with Brisbane's most popular male artist and dance around to some banging pop tunes like 'In Stranger Times'. Maybe Go Violets will join him on stage. But probably not, because they're on their own tour and not in Brisbane. So that's not going to happen.
Major Leagues
8:20 - 8:50pm, triple J Unearthed Stage @ Oh Hello
I would actually love to see Major Leagues. But if I'm already running between Gossling and Grizzly Jim Lawrie between 8:20 and 8:50pm... There's just too many great bands at BIGSOUND Live! Major Leagues will deliver an excellent set, so if you're digging 'Endless Drain', go and see them!
Don't forget, you can still get tickets through Oztix and QMusic, or rock up on the day and buy tickets from the Oztix shopfront on Ann Street.

It's been said many times, but due to the projected voting problems with Diebold equipment, everyone is encouraged to absentee vote. The law no longer requires a reason in order to absentee vote or vote early at the BoE. Here is the pertinent information.
You can download a request form to complete and mail in. An absentee ballot will be mailed to you by your BoE.
Alternatively, you can go to the Board of Elections for your county and vote in person.
Some important dates:
- Oct 3: Absentee and early voting begins
- Oct 10: Voter registration deadline – all new registrations or changes of registration must be returned to the BoE or SOS
- Nov 4: Last day to mail absentee ballot requests
- Nov 6: Last day to vote early (in person at BoE office)
- Nov 7: Election Day
I took advantage of the new voting rules in the primary this past spring. I stopped by the Franklin County Board of Elections on my way home from work a few days before the election, and was in and out in just a few minutes. They'll even validate your parking in the adjacent lot if you are there to vote. Much less painful than standing on line for nearly an hour in the rain early in the morning in 2004.
Be sure not to miss the Oct 10th deadline (two weeks from tomorrow) for updating your registration if you have moved since the last time you voted. Provisional voting can be a pain, and in 2004 21% of provisional ballots were invalidated.
Good info, Eric. The Jennifer Brunner campaign has put together a website to make it very easy to request and absentee ballot or register to vote. It is AvoidTheLine.org – everyone check it out and tell your friends about it!
The State Repugnants have blanketed Ohio with GOTV Absentee post cards over the weekend. I hope our friends at the ODP will follow suit. The ORP also used the piece as a sample ballot.
I'm curious … on this GOP sample ballots, did they mention Ken at all?
Yes, they mentioned the Ken-doll, but not the Raga. They had all the statewide candidates' pictures at the top of a tri-fold brochure (although not on 80 lb. paper). Even Sandy O'Brien was on it. Below it was a place for someone to print the local candidates' names. State Rep., State Sen., co. auditor, co. commissioner, etc., all appeared below Taylor, What's his name running against Brunner, Lyin' O'Brien, DeWhine, and the Ken.
Pete, that was Brian. Not me. I'm over here now.

Click on the following links to find interviews by the late Dr. John C. Lowe regarding Thyroid Disease and Fibromyalgia.
Question: Hi Tammy, thank you for our phone conversation today. Wow. You really are a great resource for people with thyroid questions. I was having trouble keeping up with everything as I feverishly took notes. You mentioned a protein capsule that I could try that is for vegans and I wondered if you could provide the website to me. I'm so appreciative of the phone call and can't wait to get moving in the right direction for my health. Kathleen - February 2018
Tammy: The product is called Pure Protein Blend and the website is https://nouvellebotanica.com/. This is a moringa/hemp formula that is wonderful for people on the go who don't want to mess with blenders/shakers and who just want to swallow a capsule of protein and be on their way. I've been taking it for about a month and I'm really impressed with the results that I see.
Question: I have recently received a new bottle of the 150mg that was on back order and I noticed that the color is darker than the capsules I had before. Has there been any changes to the formula? June 2016
Tammy: We have not made any formula changes. However, the seasons can alter the color of the coleus forskoli that is in the product. Additionally, the oils that are used can sometimes be darker in color and when blended, the final product can be different in color. The thyroid powder is still a light blond/brown and from the same sourcing company in New Zealand, so the potency wouldn't change.
Question: I have read your entire website, and I don't clearly see the specific breakout of the hormones T4 and T3. Can you provide that information or do you even know what they are? How are people suppose to know how much of the Thyro-Gold to take? [Katie - April 2015]
Tammy: Hi Katie. Most over-the-counter products that are classified as dietary supplements do not need to provide the breakout of the hormones. They simply need to label the product with the amount of thyroid powder that is included in the capsules. For this reason, we do not list the incremental breakout of the T4/T3 on the website. You can contact me personally via email or phone and I can help you determine what dosage would be appropriate for you.
Question: I waited too long to order my Thyro-Gold and now I am completely out. You don't offer an express shipping option on your check out page and I don't want to wait 3-5 days for delivery. What can I do? [Anna - February 2015]
Tammy: You can contact the distribution center at 316-351-7825 and they can rush your order according to your needs and request.
Question: My chiropractor recently put me on Thyro-Gold and I am feeling so amazing that I just can't believe the difference. If Armour is an NDT and Thyro-Gold also contains thyroid hormone then what is the difference between the two?[Kelly in California - November 2014]
Tammy: Hi Kelly, Armour is an FDA approved product that requires a prescription. Thyro-Gold is a dietary supplement that is not FDA approved. Although both products contain thyroid hormone, the process by which they are marketed and used is clear. Doctors prefer to use prescriptions medications that are FDA approved for safety purposes. We believe that many OTC products are safe to use if the customer has a cooperative clinician that can help monitor them appropriately. Even self-treating customers have a vast amount of public information availed to them to teach them the basics about thyroid problems. We don't advocate complete abandonment from their doctors but if the patient and the clinician can agree on a product that the patient feels comfortable with, then it's a win/win situation.
Question: With the summer months upon us, do you have concerns about the hot weather effecting the potency of the Thyro-Gold? [James in New Jersey - July 2014]
Tammy: The Thyro-Gold powder is desiccated so it won't lose it's potency in hot or cold weather. The capsules may become sticky if left in heat too long but placing the bottle in the refrigerator will harden them enough to eliminate that problem.
Question: I have ordered from you many times and would like to make a suggestion about your shipping company. Is there a reason why you don't send tracking numbers to your customers when they order? I generally receive my order within a short time but would like to have a tracking number if possible. [Caitlyn in Iowa - May 2014]
Tammy: Our shipping company provides me with daily tracking sheets that have all of the tracking numbers on them. Upon request, I will be happy to send any tracking details that I have for domestic orders. We do not currently offer tracking numbers for international orders.
Question: If I am currently taking another OTC product that is from pigs, can I add a capsule of the Thyro-Gold to it? [Linda in Texas - February 2014]
Tammy: Dear Linda, there is no logical reason that I can find that would prevent adding different products together if taken properly. Whether the gland is from porcine or bovine, wouldn't matter as much as the health of the animal for which it is derived from. Animals that are fed with GMO foods or animals that are penned up in unsanitary areas, would be more concerning for long term well-being.
Question: Dear Tammy, I am interested in purchasing Thyro-Gold but I don't know what dosage to start with. Can you offer any advice about the dosing? [Cindy in Arizona - November 2013]
Tammy: Dear Cindy. It is suggested to start with our 150mg if someone has never been on thyroid hormone before. Taking one capsule daily - on an empty stomach for two weeks will provide the best response. After two weeks a person can decide if they need to increase and if they do, then adding another capsule to their daily intake is recommended.
Question: Dear Tammy, There is a lot of confusion on the web forums about single dosing versus split dosing. What are your thoughts? [Jerry in Massachusetts - January 2013]?
Tammy: My advice is to follow Dr. Lowe's which was advocating single dosing. The reason is to ensure the best absorption. If someone has low stomach acid, their food may not digest properly or completely within the 1-3 hour digestion window. Therefore, if someone takes all of their thyroid hormone one hour prior to eating -they can have more certainty that the powder will be absorbed and not attach to undigested food lingering in their stomach.
Question: Dear Tammy, I recently received your newsletter announcing the upcoming reduced capsule dosage of Thyro-Gold™ and am really excited about it. Currently, I have to open the capsule and empty the powder into a spoon so that I can divide it. How soon will be able to purchase the new 1/2 dosage? [Tom in North Carolina - June 2012]
Tammy: Dear Tom, I share your enthusiasm for the new option of Thyro-Gold™. The product should be available within 8 weeks. The capsules will be smaller but the contents will be 1/2 of the 300mg that is currently offered. I will post an announcement when the product is available.
Question: Dear Tammy, I have been unable to access Dr. Lowe's websites for the past month and wondered why they are no longer available to the public. Please tell me that they will not disappear from the cyber world as they were so important to those of us who used them for references on a daily basis. [Kathy in Australia - May 10, 2012]
Tammy: Dear Kathy, I share your concern and sorrow for the loss of the websites at this time. The control of the sites are in the hands of Dr. Lowe's sister and niece as they navigate through Probate of the Estate. My hope is that once Probate is completed, the sites will become available to the public again. I know that it was Dr. Lowe's wish and desire to maintain the sites as they were written in his words and that the content of the sites not be altered or changed in any way.
Question: I'm confused by a recent disclosure on thyroidscience.us regarding Thyro-Gold. Can you please advise if the product is still available? The disclosure indicates that Dr. Lowe's Estate is not responsible for future formulations of the product, is this true? [Keith in Arizona - May 17, 2012]
Tammy: Dear Keith, I can assure you that the original formulation of Thyro-Gold is still available through www.naturalthyroidsolutions.com. To preserve the continuation of the product, Thyro-Gold was moved to this new website for purchasing. Thyro-Gold is protected by exclusive contracts with the manufacturer and the distribution center. The formulation will remain unaltered for all future batches. I apologize for the confusion over the disclosure on thyroidscience.us and hope that you will be reassured that Thyro-Gold will remain available for the public. As always, I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have regarding Thyro-Gold and the safety of using it properly.

I've got a stretched VLAN design using OTV and HSRP isolation/localisation I'm doing at work and was thinking how you would simulate FHRP isolation or something like it using a Vyatta VM. Unlike VMware's NSX virtual router, the Vyatta router is not distributed. It can only be on one host at any point in time – can't it? As I'm incredibly smart [and humble], I began thinking that FT (Fault Tolerance) would do the trick since the Vyatta can happily chug along with a single vCPU. Like most things I've thought of, someone else has gotten there before me so I decided to google some phrases. In this case it was Matt Oswalt of keepingitclassless.net here:
Thanks Matt 🙂

Many people assume that driving recklessly or aggressively can only result in a simple traffic violation. When considering these offenses, the terms reckless driving and aggressive driving are often incorrectly used interchangeably.
However, the truth is that both of these offenses are actually crimes that are classified as misdemeanors in North Carolina. Furthermore, they are not the same offense, although both can result in possible fines and imprisonment.
Have you recently been cited for driving aggressively or recklessly in North Carolina? Coolidge Law Firm provides experienced legal representation for these offenses and many other serious traffic violations.
Our Wake County aggressive driving attorneys represent clients of all ages, including college students from such Research Triangle area schools as Duke University, Meredith College, North Carolina State University, Shaw University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), Wake Technical Community College (Wake Tech), and William Peace University. Call (919) 239-8448 right now to have our firm review your case during a free, confidential consultation.
The criminal offenses of aggressive driving and reckless driving are both codified under Chapter 20 of the North Carolina General Statutes. These crimes are both classified as misdemeanors, but they have different levels of severity.
Under North Carolina General Statute § 20-140, reckless driving is a Class 2 misdemeanor. It is defined as any person driving any vehicle upon a highway or any public vehicular area either:
Aggressive driving is classified as a Class 1 misdemeanor under North Carolina General Statute § 20-141.6. The statute defines aggressive driving as any person operating a motor vehicle on a street, highway, or public vehicular area, driving carelessly and heedlessly in willful or wanton disregard of the rights or safety of others, and either violating speed limits in school zones under North Carolina General Statute § 20-141.1 or speed restrictions under North Carolina General Statute § 20-141.
The statute also states that in order to prove an alleged offender was driving carelessly and heedlessly in willful or wanton disregard of the rights or safety of others, the state will need to prove that the driver committed two or more of the below specified offenses while committing one of the aforementioned speeding violations:
North Carolina uses a complicated "structured sentencing" system when determining what punishments to impose on alleged offenders. Structured sentencing provides judges with specific standards that address not only the severity of the crime an alleged offender is currently facing, but also takes into account that person's prior criminal history.
There are three forms of punishment in North Carolina:
In misdemeanor cases, alleged offenders are classified into one of three prior conviction levels. A person with no prior convictions is a Prior Conviction Level I, a person with one to four prior convictions is a Prior Conviction Level II, and a person with five or more prior convictions is considered a Prior Conviction Level III.
If an alleged offender has been charged with the Class 2 misdemeanor of reckless driving, then he faces the following possible sentences:
For the Class 1 misdemeanor of aggressive driving, then the alleged offender faces these possible sentences:
Whether you have been charged with aggressive driving or reckless driving, a skilled lawyer may be able to use any one of a number of possible defenses to fight for a reduction or complete dismissal of charges. Every case is different, so unique factors in your own situation can apply.
Some of the most common defenses an attorney will use in handling these types of cases include, but are not limited to:
If you have been ticketed for driving recklessly or aggressively in North Carolina, you should take the charges seriously and immediately seek legal counsel. Coolidge Law Firm understands the major consequences that convictions in these types of cases can have enormous consequences, which is why we fight to get the most favorable outcomes for our clients.
Our firm helps motorists in such communities as Raleigh, Apex, Cary, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Holly Springs, Morrisville, and Wake Forest. Let our Wake County reckless driving attorneys provide a complete evaluation of your case during a free consultation by calling (919) 239-8448 today.

Sg, I messed up the plan. We assembled your big girl bed today after yesterday's trip to Ikea. Last night, while having dinner out with friends, AT and I concocted a plan to tell you that the paci had to go away with the crib. You know that the paci is only for night time, and you understand that, if you somehow get your paci out of the crib, you can either put it back in the crib or be put into the crib with it. So, we figured, you probably wouldn't question the fact that bye-bye crib means bye-bye paci.
We tried to take away the paci at Christmas. Rather, we planned to tell you that we left them all at grandma's house. (Some friends had used this technique and it had worked for them.) Getting packed up for the 12-hour ride back home was kind of hectic, as we were rushing to get out ahead of everyone else leaving for some kind of outing. Oh — and you had an ear infection. And did I mention the 12-hour ride ahead of us? It's no wonder we didn't notice that someone had slipped the paci into your mouth until we were a few miles down the road. It was only 10 minutes, but there was pretty much no way that we were going to be able to tell you that we left the paci at grandma's. So that plan was aborted.
You were excited about the new bed this evening, and wanted to help build it. (You were pretty cute walking around the frame with a screwdriver, wiggling it in the general direction of a bolt and saying "I got this one.") You were excited to try it out once we got it assembled. Right up until we told you we would be turning out the light after reading a book or two.
I won't go into the details, but I read you some books, AT read you some books, and each of us took a 30-minute shift lying around and chatting with you in the dark. You were asleep when AT left the room, but woke up when the door closed. I was lying down to take a second turn when you said pretty much the exact thing you needed to say in order to get your paci (which you had not requested at all up to this point): "I want to sleep in my big girl bed; I want my paci." Quid, meet quo. I said I would go get it.
I asked AT where it was and she wasn't happy. "We had a simple, clear understandable plan." This is true, but I kindly pointed out that our simple, clear, understandable plan wasn't working. Besides, I worked a full day today while mildly hung over, all before wrestling with Ikea's non-verbal instructions, and wasn't inclined to spend another 30 minutes making up stories in the dark. AT convinced me to wait to see if you would fall asleep waiting for me to come back with the paci, right about the same time you popped your head out the door and said "what are you doing?"
So anyway, you got your paci and went right to bed. I'm writing this, in part, to stay awake long enough to make sure you're really asleep, and I feel comfortable that you are. So I'm out.

|Though there is, admittedly, a difference between a voice shaking and a voice not being heard
It's a piece of legislation that every pro-privacy group is against. It even has some security experts worried. It should have a lot of people worried. Those companies should be standing against it but instead they're for it because with it they will be offered immunity from sharing the data of their users. It's made worse because they've often fought for privacy and now they're throwing it out the window and it's a damn shame.

- Buy a house

- Finish a Pathfinder or D&D campaign
- Write a book
☆彡 I promised not to speak lowly of myself or say untrue things to make others feel better. The way I see it, any person that expects me to bash myself so they can feel better is not a good person to be around. A good person to be around would support me. So…no thanks. Exchanging my confidence for a person I don't really care about is a terrible trade.
☆彡 It is already April, yet Mark and I haven't started a 'The Matrix' or 'The Lord of the Rings' marathon yet. I don't know. I guess I'm more focused on The Legend of Korra, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and a bunch of other shows I am missing because I lack cable. No excuses, right? I just need to lurk moar.
☆彡 Metric. Black Sheep. Help, I'm Alive. That is all.
☆彡 Finished Catching Fire today. I can't believe the book just ended right there. *falls in a slow circle and dies* Oh well. I'm going to visit the library tomorrow and cross my fingers for a copy of Mockingjay.
☆彡 My sleep schedule is so stupid right now. I'd do just about anything to get to bed and wake up at decent hours. -.-
☆彡 I like speaking to people who succeed at losing a lot of weight (50 pounds or more) because they're real. They're not celebrities who secretly hire trainers or hire chefs to cook for them. They're everyday men and women on limited budgets and time. I've picked up a lot of tips over the years, but in the end it really comes down to motivation…or, in my case, finding out why I am so intimidated by weight loss. I guess I already know the answer. I just don't know how to face it properly. Long story short, I dealt with a lot of stalking, sexual harassment, and unpleasant things like that when I was thin. I didn't intentionally put on weight to protect myself from that, but I did find that food was comforting and that being fat stopped a lot of harassment I faced. But, as someone told me, food is not my friend. It is not therapy. It is not filling any voids I have. It is just fuel. And she is extremely right. Eating junk is not going to make me happy in the end. I just have to take advantage of the thick skin I obtained over the years, and do what I have to do against people like that. I can keep practicing karate, and not only use that to get fit, but to also protect myself. I am not trying to come out of this as thin as I used to be. Being skinny is not a priority to me. More than anything, I want to be strong. That is why I am so obsessed with weight lifting, I guess. If I can train myself to bench press 150+ lbs. then I can probably grab someone by the neck and toss them aside. That's more of an inspiration to me than bikinis and skinny jeans. I guess that's weird, but what else is new, right? ^u^
☆彡 All of the unexpected bills Mark and I have been dealing with lately have been both a blessing and a curse. A curse because having more bills than money is never a good thing. But it's a blessing because it forces us to lead a more humble life. The truth is that Mark and I do not enjoy indulgence. We're always talking about moving to an isolated village, growing our own food, and living off our land. That's the type of thing we consider paradise. But we fall into the same trap that a lot of people fall into. The I-need-it-now-or-never trap. It really makes us spoiled. Sometimes I think back to how we used to be when we were first going out, and what little we had between each other, and it makes me realize how much we've changed. I don't want to become a slave to money, trinkets, and first-world luxuries, you know? Even if I win the lottery, I want to pursue that life we dream about where I work hard for the things I have.
☆彡 Spectrum Nexus had a prank for April Fools' Day. They released a Berserk manga update, but when you go to read the manga the image won't load. It's just blurry and it says: "Loading error. Please try again later." Of course, my first instinct on April Fools' Day is to trust no one and nothing. So, I already went into the Berserk manga thinking: "Let's see how this turns out," but a lot of people were FURIOUS about it. The site owner even had to apologize for it. This only reaffirms what I already know: Do not fuck with Berserk fans. They are not playing around. If you say you have something Berserk related and you're lying about it…prepare yourself. LOL. Seriously, I can imagine 'Sign' playing in the background the moment someone lies about a Berserk update. Then I can imagine the furious Berserk fan pulling out Guts' sword out of nowhere and cleaving people in half. Yep. That may actually happen someday. Once more, do not fuck with Berserk fans. XD
☆彡 Going through Dark Souls withdrawal. *weeps phantom tears* Why do I love you, Dark Souls, when you're such a dick? ;-;
☆彡 For some reason, my eyebrows are growing very thick after I shaped them up last time. I was going to shape them up again, but I realized that I am better off with thick eyebrows. Neat eyebrows are great for people who are very meticulous about how they dress…but I'm fairly tomboyish. I don't think a tomboy with neat eyebrows is a great combination. At least not for me. LOL. Besides, I've been introduced to the whole 'ulzzang' culture and most of those girls do nothing to their eyebrows. And they still look incredibly pretty! Here's an example:
Of course, I'll have to pluck stray eyebrow hairs that like to grow in random locations. Like, seriously, right above my eyelids? What are you smoking, eyebrows -_-? Otherwise, I'll leave it as is.
☆彡 Since I'm on the topic of beauty, I would really like to learn makeup one day. No time soon, but in the future. If I am going to attempt makeup then it has to be subtle. No neon green eye shadow with purple lipstick and bright red blush. I…I can't do things like that. It has to look as natural as possible. The only thing I'll use generously is maybe mascara and eyeliner. Even then it won't be like…raccoon generous. Just enough to know it's there. Once more, in the future. Far future. When I am confident with doing things like that. Right now, though, I have to focus on one thing at a time. Beauty will get my time when I'm ready.
☆彡 I keep thinking about how great it will be to finally attend art school. It'll be expensive, yes, but leaving art school with the ability to do things like 3D renditions, animation, and character design…it's really exciting! It's one of those things that will help me career wise, and hobby wise. I guess the only thing to do now is wait. Have patience. See how things turn out. Then, once it all begins, put my best effort and do not slack off. Not even for a second. I'm sure that if I keep this mentality from start to finish I will graduate with impressive skills. Maybe impressive enough to work for big companies like Blizzard, Bioware, Square-Enix, Nintendo, Gearbox, LucasArts and Bungie. Who knows? I may be able to branch off into movie, cartoon, and comic books. An artist is an artist is an artist. Well, I'm not going to wait around until I graduate to make an impression. I'm going to draw everyday — all day — until my fingers fall off. Then I have to reattach them, of course, because I need them. But in the end I'll be better! *pose*
Okay. That's it. I'm going to go to bed. Not even remotely tired but…I'll attempt to straighten this sleep schedule of mine out the best I can.

The last 24 hours my eyes have been burning.
Burning more than my current norm of sleep deprivation thanks to The Retro Baby.
I've had these big fat tears that just kind of hang around but don't actually fall.
Yesterday started off as a normal day- I arranged with a friend to meet in the city with her new bub. Just as I got off the tram I heard about the hostage situation at the Lindt Cafe in Martin Place. Gosh, it just didn't seem real. I called my friend who was running late and on the train. I could hardly get the words out. I was choking on them. I told her that it probably wasn't a good idea to come in with the bub because so little was known. We agreed that we would meet another time.
The Retro Boy was having a play in the park as I decided if we should go home or not. I considered us to be safe distance to Martin Place. Then I read internet reports that the train line had been shut off between Bondi and The City. Thats when I started to worry. Typical – The day we caught public transport in, what if we got stranded in the city? Big Pram, baby and 3 year old. It was a worry. It was not known what exactly was happening over at the Lindt cafe, but there was lots of speculation of it being linked to terrorism. When you look at what happened in London, with the buses being bombed and the train stations it was enough to make me think we needed to leave immediately. Of course The Retro Boy did not want to leave, he was having a great time playing – So i bribed him. I told him that we had to leave right now to go get ice cream. It worked. We got on the tram, got in the car.
The same baby who kept me up all night decided to sleep all afternoon. The Retro boy had a 3 hour nap too (this NEVER HAPPENS!!) – I sat glued to the tv all afternoon watching the hostage situation unfold. I saw the 3 men escape , then hours later the 2 ladies. My heart was breaking and aching for these people.
Then late last night the #illridewithyou hashtag started trending on twitter to show support for Muslims in Australia who are afraid of an Islamophobic backlash. Offers of support inundated social media offering support to anyone who feels afraid to travel alone. It is so sad that this is the reality of the situation.
Immediately as I saw this unfold – #illplaydatewithyou came to my mind
Why you may ask?
Right now you could say that I'm a stay at home mum ( well work at home mum ) – I don't get out and about that much- so it's hard for me to #illridewithyou – But what about all those Muslim Australian Mums our there- or mums of different cultural backgrounds. How are they feeling right now? How could we reach out to them? It's starts with our children, playing together, learning about each other and growing together. Cultural diversity is a special thing and enriches our country. No one should ever feel alone.
It starts with us smiling as we walk past them pushing their pram every day – then it eases to a hello over time. Perhaps you're in a Dr Surgery together or down at a playground, the family across the road or in your apartment block. Don't be shy, reach out!
#illplaydatewithyou you is not just for the situation many Muslim Australians may be feeling right now, it is for everyone of all backgrounds. It's about love and support regardless of who you are. All children love to play with each other – and that there is our common bond. I hope that this can help inspire small acts of kindness and bring people together.
This morning we woke, The siege had ended. The gun man dead and along with 2 of the hostages. My eyes still burning, this time those big fat tears falling.
It is important to remember these were the actions of one man only and he is to blame
I'm not here to get into any arguments, just to encourage people to reach out to each other

Rest, relax and retire completely redefined foot on the seat of Lord Jagannath Puri. Known for its historic antiquities, religious shrines, architectural grandeur, beauty Marina, the mild climate and the spiritual sense, this region of the Orissa coast attracts many visitors each year.
With a rich history dating back to the third century BC, this temple of the city welcomes pilgrims and fun seekers with open arms, offering beautiful beaches of the latter. At one of the largest brackish water lake in India: Chilika Lake, the city offers an ideal resort for migratory birds.
Best known as the abode of Lord Vishnu, the land of Jagannath, Puri has a rich cultural heritage with a unique blend of the demands of time and eternity with a responsible power that wisdom. Considered very pious by Hindus, Puri is one of the four sacred dhamas represents a rare flash of the immortality of property against the powers of denial, in the spirit of the university, the adaptability of Oriya.
The city is also holding a very important monastery in the form of mathematical Gobardhan established by Adi Shankaracharya to visit Puri. Other religious leaders and dignitaries as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Rai Ramananda, Jayadeva, Gorakhanath father of Nath cult of religious iconoclasm and Saint Tota Puri Vedant master Ramakrishna also visited Puri to leave permanent marks on their philosophies, the city's cultural curtain.
In addition, a fearless spiritual significance, is an essential feature of the culture and philosophy that has helped changed Puri Indian Pan-Pan-Continental. This has also made it clear "Car Festival of Lord Jagannath" Celebration, "Puri Beach Festival, with similar tastes, which creates a wonderful blend of spiritual and sensory pleasures.
The recognition of Rath Yatra global acceptance of Odissi as a classical dance form, Orissan architecture school called poetry frozen in stone and the "brotherhood Mahaprasad" probably contributed much to search Puri, the situation of a city of international renown.

Paper wasps get their common name from the paperlike material of which they construct their nests; true also of the other vespids. It has been suggested that they be called umbrella wasps based on the shape of their nests. In the urban situations, these usually unaggressive wasps are a nuisance pest. Various species are found throughout the United States.
Adults about 5/8-3/4" (16-20 mm) long. Color brownish with yellow markings, a few species with reddish markings.
Paper wasps hang their comb nests from twigs and branches of trees and shrubs which can cause concern when ornamental shrubs and hedges are trimmed or fruit is being picked from trees. If a nest is contacted, there is a high probability that person doing the trimming or fruit pocking will get stung. Paper wasps also like to hang their comb nests from porch ceilings, the top member of window and door frames, soffits, eaves, attic rafters, deck floor joists and railings, etc., almost any protected place imaginable.
